I got up at 6:20 AM in order to drive to Guimba to meet with the Branch Presidency of the 3rd Branch. I let Mae sleep in until I left. It was raining and heavy traffic, so I was until 8:10AM getting there. The Branch President didn't get there for another few minutes. We had a good meeting and I turned the Home Teaching over to them, with the offer to help. I came back home and got Mae, and then went back to Munoz 1st Branch. We only attended their Priesthood and Relief Society meetings. We then attended the Baptism of April Sarianto. From there we came home and started dinner, before returning and attending Sacrament meeting at the Munoz 2nd Branch. After that meeting we took a video over to Brother Silvia, and also took him a copy of the plans we have for Home Teaching. He was excited about it, and would like to be the Branch Executive Secretary over Home Teaching. We came home and ate dinner, and then went out visiting a family, with the Elders, which just live 2 houses west of us. I was a while on the computer catching up my journal.
Monday, June 2, 2003
I woke early, but let Mae sleep in a little longer. We seem to have been busy all day trying to get caught up on recording of bills, which we spent too much last month. Trying to get organized and e-mailing our family, etc. This evening I called Home Depot and found that I still owed them over $400.00, so I just had her write a draw on my checking account for the balance. I am fairly sure that when I was doing Nolan's home that I paid a payment of about that much in cash and I don't think it was ever credited. But I couldn't find my receipt so I guess that is water under the bridge. We were late getting to bed.
Tuesday, June 3, 2003
We got up and prepared breakfast for the Elders. They helped us with Tagalog after eating. We worked on the Home Teaching program most of the afternoon. I felt very discouraged over the language, finances and just things in general. We had an appointment with Brother and Sister Umipig's this evening. We gave them a presentation on "Jacob's Dream". It went very well although a little long. I had trouble getting the TV and video working together, but finally realized I had one wire wrong. They are special and are trying. They felt the presentation was just what they needed. We ate a late dinner before going to bed.
Wednesday, June 4, 2003
We got up and went walking this morning. We could tell that it has been a while since we have done that. We have spent most of the day working on instructions for the Home Teaching program. We did go to San Jose for some groceries and bought Mae an ice cream cone. We went to visit Sister Agliba who we have heard has been sick. She is down with an infected thyroid. We suggested that she have a blessing and we will see if the Elders can come with me tomorrow. We went to the Corpus's and showed them the CD, "Finding Faith in Christ". They really enjoyed it and felt the Spirit of the show. We really enjoyed being with them and set an appointment to return next Wednesday evening. Mae called the Medical Missionaries when we got home to find out more about Sister Agliba's condition. We ate dinner and the evening was about gone.
Thursday, June 5, 2003
We slept in, getting up and preparing breakfast for Elder Jex and Elder Barrett. After breakfast they helped us with the Tagalog language. They then went with us to Sister Leonarda Oamil Flores Agliba and gave her a Priesthood blessing. She was feeling much better than she did yesterday when we visited her. While there we visited another family with the Elders. We took the Elders back to their home and we went to San Jose, where we got some money from the bank. We paid our phone bill and then came home. We took a nap, and then spent the rest of the day working on the computer. Time sore goes by fast.
Friday, June 6, 2003
Before breakfast, I checked the e-mail to see if Elder Persson had replied to our e-mail. He hadn't but there was an e-mail from David. That made me a little home sick. We had District meeting which we always enjoy although we don't report much. We just enjoy being with the Elders and seeing how they are doing. We had Elder DeAlday and Elder Villanueva come home with us. They are assigned to work in the Rezal area, which is quite a ways South East of San Jose. Elder Villanueva is a new missionary, getting here a month after we did. President Brimhall asked us if we could give him a little TLC as he is homesick and needs some encouragement. We had Marlyn prepare a nice dinner which we enjoyed, then had them help us translate some of our Home Teaching presentations into Tagalog. We also watched the DVD of "Finding Faith in Christ" before we drove them to their home. I am constantly amazed at how at ease Mae can make people feel and the way she can handle each situation. She is sure a special person and to think that she is mine, tops it all. We enjoyed the drive to take them home as it is really out in the country; they are assigned to the Rezal area. When we got back to San Jose, we stopped at CVC and got some groceries. We prepared and ate dinner, and then I transferred some pictures from our camera to the computer and of course Mae wanted to see them, so did I, so that took the rest of the evening.
Saturday, June 7, 2003
We did get up in time to go walking this morning. We walked down to where they have a herd of caribou cows that they are using for dairy milk. It seems strange to me as they don't look like a dairy animal, as they don't have much of a bag. Elder Jex says he has tried the milk and it is very good. I don't know what the production is.
This morning we had a Medical Mission to attend. We weren’t sure what it consisted of or what to expect, but was very excited when we got there. There is a group from the United States that has formed a foundation here that helps provides financing for Chapters here to give medical and dental assistants to those that couldn’t otherwise afford it. The 2nd counselor in the District Presidency is the Chairman of this Chapter, so has the Branches rotates putting this program on, I think, every 6 Months. They have volunteer Doctors and Dentists come and they also provide prescribed medication. I didn’t get in to see the dentist, but they had 3 or 4 Doctors that work just as fast as they could, but showing great patients and care for each person, for over 4 hours. There could have been 200 to 300 people that went through during that time. The only thing that I wish is that we would have had a separate area and shown some Church videos while people were waiting and given out some pamphlets. There was many less active and non-members there. Oh well, next time we will know what to expect.
This afternoon, I joined a Priesthood activity. We went bowling and that was a new experience. The alley is about the same as ours, 50 to 60 years ago, with pin boys to set up the pins, but the ball is about the size of a softball or just a little larger. There are no finger holes.  I am not sure how spars and strikes are scored as I didn’t see many of those, although I got a spare once. You just bowled in your street shoes, so I bowled in cowboy boots. We also played some pool. It was interesting and we had fun.
We also had Elder Jex and Elder Barrett over for dinner this evening as it is Elder Barrett's 21st Birthday. Elder Jex isn't feeling the best so asked if Elder Barrett and I could administer to him, which we did. These Elders sure keep going, and are doing a great job.
Sunday, June 8, 2003
We slept in then went out to Guimba 1st Branch to meet with the Branch President and go over the Home Teaching program with him. We stayed for their meeting block and enjoyed the spirit there. The Branch President is a young R.M. and is running most of the branch by himself. He had 4 speakers for Sacrament Meeting but ask if we would set on the stand and if there was time, he wanted us to speak. President Mercado was also there to visit, so we told him not to worry about us speaking. He did have us speak for 5 minutes each. We came home and got something to eat. The Elders stopped by and went with us to visit a neighbor two houses down. We shared the DVD of "Building Faith in Christ" with them. We were tired and ready for bed tonight.
Monday, June 9, 2003
We got up early and left for Angeles. We stopped at McDonald's in Tarlac, for breakfast and then we stopped at the Sony Dealer to have them check out our camera. They had us leave it as they had to have time to check it out. We went on to the Mission Home and with the Elders help, we soon found out our problem on the Home Teaching program. We went over to the dentist and she says Mae's tooth is doing better, so she worked on it more and wants her to come back in about another three weeks. While Mae was in the dentist office, I had the car washed. When we got back to the mission home, Mae and Sister Clark went shopping while Brother Clark and I went looking for computer supplies. The four of us then went out to eat. It was sure good to be with them and just visit. President and Sister Brimhall came home just as we were ready to leave for home, so we stayed a few more minutes and visited with them. They are sure great people. It was 8PM before we got home, and then brought things in and put them away. Mae wanted to check the e-mails and we had a couple. One from Jeff that was really cute. Mike sent us a picture of Taylor. Mae then called Sandi and visited a few minutes. She is worried that Sandi is going too fast and just wanted to check on her.
While with the Clark's we were told that in the one area there is a group that is trying to get the Philippine government changed to communism. They are hid up in the hills and call them self "The Gadianton Robbers". They are trying to find some Americans that they might kidnap and hold for ransom to get money from the United States. President Brimhall, therefore, had to transfer all American missionaries out of the area. Also, last week while President and Sister Brimhall were in one of the areas, they were stopped at a check point and with guns pointed at them were questioned as to their business in the area.
Tuesday, June 10, 2003
We slept in and really didn't do a lot today. We rested and relaxed as we were worn out from the trip yesterday. Mae studied on Tagalog. We worked on the computer and did some preparation for next Saturday. I wrote a letter that we will send to Mike for Jack Persil about the house. Mae sent some personal e-mails to family and friends this evening.
Wednesday, June 11, 2003
We went walking this morning before getting breakfast. I spent a long time on the internet trying to renew our subscription with Norton Anti Virus, and ended up just frustrated. I was so upset, that I took a nap. Mae woke me for lunch. We worked all afternoon on our presentation for Saturday. This evening we went to the Corpus's and showed the video, "Mans Search for Happiness". It went well and we felt a good spirit with them. I still feel the need to learn the Tagalog language, in order to do a good job. We came home and Mae wanted to get on the computer to correct some of her Tagalog studies, but the computer asks us to update some of the system, so we did. While it was doing that the Norton Anti Virus renewal came up so we tried that again and we think this time it worked. We got e-mails from Shellie, Jeff, Mark and Georgia, plus a short one from Mike. We sure enjoy the e-mails. It is like Mae said, "It doesn't seem that we are quite so far away with the e-mails."
Thursday, June 12, 2003
Mae was still tired so I let her sleep in a little longer. I woke thinking about the lack of training the leaders here in the Philippines have and became quite depressed with the great amount of work that is needed here. It is also depressing as to the amount of Tagalog that I know or that I don't know. We went walking at the collage, but found that it is much more crowded now that school has restarted. After breakfast and the Elders didn't come over we call them and found that Elder Jex's is still quite sick. We took them some soup and crackers, along with some vitamins. Before lunch, we took a nap. This afternoon we studied for a Home Teaching presentation we are to make tomorrow at Gapan. We figured our monthly bills and are tight. I visited with Elder Clark and ordered some Home Teaching pamphlet. I wrote Mark an e-mail and sent it. Mae cooked a casserole and we took part of it over to the Elders. We worked on our Home Teaching presentation for Saturday to be given in San Jose, St. Lsidro Branch. We were late getting to bed.
Friday, June 13, 2003
We went to Gapan this morning as the zone leader there had asked us to talk to his district about Home Teaching. We went through Cabanatuan and that trip through there is usually 45 minutes or more, but this time it only took us 10 minutes. The reason why is the road is still under construction, but this time they had the one lane closed due to having trenches dug 1/2 way across the road. The thing is that it was closed the direction we were going. I didn't know any other roads to take us through Cabanatuan, so I went around the signs and took the main road anyway. Well the traffic was light and I only had to slow down when I came to a road closed sign, just long enough to get through the traffic. Maybe I was lucky, but I didn't get stopped. We got to Gapan early, so got to visit with some of the missionaries before meeting started. Our presentation went well. After the zone conference we decided to drive to Tarlac and get our camera. We got there just a noon and the shop was closed. We went back to the mall and walked around it, and then ate lunch at Jolly Bee's. We went back to the shop and waited another hour. We finally decided that it was a Holliday and they were closed. I was upset that we had wasted three hours. We studied for our presentation tomorrow the rest of the evening.
Saturday, June 14, 2003
I was quite anxious about today, concerned with how our presentation would go with us not speaking Tagalog. We picked up Elder Jex and Elder Barrett at 8 AM, and then went to the San Jose Stake center, where we borrowed an overhead projector and copied some sheets. I was really glad that the Elders went with us because I sure had the directions wrong to get to the St. Lsidro branch. With there help we went right to it. It is North East from San Jose, maybe 10 miles. That was really a humble Church House. It is old converted building, very small, but there was a good turn out. I was especially impressed when I found that the Branch only had 230 members and had about 30% activity. That is the highest we have seen in the Philippines. Our presentation went well and the Spirit was there and felt. We came home and had some lunch. I then went to District Presidency and Branch Presidency in Guimba. Again I was very anxious about that meeting. It went well and it turned out to be three meetings. First the Branch Presidents and District Presidency meeting went well, although most of it was in Tagalog. We then held a High Council meeting, which went well. We then held a District Presidency meeting and some decisions were made concerning the reorganization of Munoz 2nd Branch, as President Maico's wife has left him. The entire Presidency including myself was included in the discussion and decision, and then we took it before the Lord. Also I brought up that the Branch Presidents carried a heave load with out many of them having much help. President Dasalla said that they had clerks and Executive Secretaries, but none of them was functioning. He asked if I could train them next District and Branch Presidency meeting. I jumped at that as that is what I have been wondering how to approach the District Presidency on Leadership Training. While at Guimba, I got the CMIS report, for Guimba 1st Branch, from the Elders assigned there. All together it was a pretty successful day. After I got home, Mae and I went to San Jose where we paid our drinking water bill, tried to get some money out of the bank, but the ATM machine didn't work, so we only bought what we needed at the groceries store. We came home and got some dinner. Mae wanted me to check the inter-net for e-mail. We got a cute letter from Kim. Mae fell asleep so I made my journal entries. Then I did up the evening dishes. Mae woke up, so we played a game of Rummy. That is the first game of Rummy we have played since before Mom died and we would cheat so Mom could win.
Sunday, June 15, 2003
We did sleep in a little, and then got to Church. Mike called to wish me a Happy Fathers Day; it was sure good to talk to him. After Sunday school class we visited with a good member that has some concerns. We took the Elders to their home. We are getting quite concerned about Elder Jex's being sick. We had some lunch and took a nap. We picked the Elders up for Sacrament meeting in the 2nd Branch, as Elder Barrett had to speak this afternoon. We enjoyed his talk although it was in Tagalog, and we enjoyed the people. This evening President Brimhall called us concerned about Elder Jex. We are waiting to see if we will take him to the Doctor in Angeles tomorrow.
Monday, June 16, 2003
No decision was made this morning about getting Elder Jex to the Dr. It has been raining hard all day. Being P-day, we slept in and relaxed more today. I put up some clothes lines in our storage shed so Marlyn would have some place to hang the clothes on rainy days. We went down the street to see a neighbor that is having her house re-roofed, and has the roof open. They had already moved everything to her sister's house, so everything was ok. We found out that Elder Jex and Elder Barker needs to go to the Doctors tomorrow, so we will take them. David called to wish me a Happy Fathers Day. They will leave in the morning for a trip Bahamas; Shauna's parents will tend their children while they are gone.
Tuesday, June 17, 2003
We picked up Elder Jex and Barker and took them to see the Doctors in Angeles. Elder Jex has either an upper repertory infection or T. B. Elder Barker has a hernia that will need to be operated on. We stopped on the way in Tarlac and picked up our camera. There was no charge as they said it is just that our battery's need charging. It took us all day taking the Elders back and forth to the Doctors. We did take time to cash a check for two hundred dollars, also went out to eat with the Clarks. We did see President and Sister Brimhall for a minute, but they had to go to get their drivers licenses renewed. It was 9:30 PM before we got home, and then had to get things in, so it was late getting to bed.
Wednesday, June 18, 2003
We left for Zone Conference and went to the Munoz Chapel, but no one was there. As we debated as to why, Elder Clark and the Elders from the office came. They too thought it was there. We went to the San Jose Stake Center and found the meeting just starting. The conference was attended by President and Sister Brimhall, President Apoa from the San Jose Stake, President Nuque from the Guimba District and all the Elders. It was a great conference and went well. We got home at 4:30 PM, and then laid down for a short nap. We did some preparation for a presentation and went to the Corpus's. They were waiting for us to come. They had a sign on the wall that read, "Welcome Elder and Sister Browning", they are special. We had a very enjoyable evening with them, encouraging them to be and remain active, and to work towards receiving their Temple Blessings. They had prepared bread, chicken, bananas, water for me and a Sprite for Mae. We had to explain that mission rules wouldn't allow us to eat the chicken, but thanked them for the rest. It rained hard while we were there and the water started coming in the doorway. Brother Corpus put on boots and went out to our car and got our boots for us. As we walked to the car, Mae stepped in the ditch and went over her boots. We laughed most of the way home over that. I am not feeling the best tonight.
Thursday, June 19, 2003
Today is our 44th Wedding Anniversary and I am so sick that I wish I could just die. I think this is the same thing that I had 16 year ago. The Elders came by and administered to me.
Friday, June 20, 2003
I am not feeling any better today. Mae talked to the Medical Missionaries; they felt that I should get some amoxicillin, so Mae asks Marlyn to go to town to buy some for me. I felt a little better a couple of hours after taking it, but it wore off before time to take another. The Elders came by and changed our back tire on the car, for it is low. Mae has worked most of the past two days entering data for the Guimba 1st Branch. The Elders came by again to check on me. They stayed and watched the DVD "Finding Faith in Christ".
Saturday, June 21, 2003
I have again been quite sick today; Mae is also feeling some sickness. I wish we knew what we are fighting and if we are taking the right medication or not. Mae called Nancy and she told her that I should continue to take lots of Ambrotose. Mae also completed the entering of the data for the Guimba 1st Branch from their CMIS. She is quite an amazing girl. Roy e-mailed us and we realized that they are not receiving our e-mails. I think I have his address with one extra character in it. I corrected it and sent him several letters and a picture. I printed a picture for one of the girls our Branch that wanted us to write in her journal. I seem to get feeling better for a little while, then it will turn around and I will start hurting again. I was in a lot of pain so Mae asked Elder Jex and Elder Barrett if they could come over and administer to me at 9:30 PM, which they did. I am feeling some better so decided to write in my journal before going to bed. I think I will try sleeping in the big chair with my feet on the couch. That is the closest I can come to a recliner.
Sunday, June 22, 2003
I was still quite sick today so again stayed home. Part of the time I will get some better but then it will come back in different forms. Most of the times my hand feel raw and itches but if I scratch them they become worse. This is also happening to my feet, put not as much as my hands.  This is very strange and we feel confused as to what to do. President Maico heard from the Elders that I wasn't feeling well, so came by to see me. While here he asked if we knew he was being released as branch President. He said that he understood why and then told us of his problems. His wife left to work abroad when their daughter was 14 months. She went to California. She came home once after about two years for a vacation. She hadn't seemed to hold a job for long because she would get upset with those who she was working for and leave. This, of course, made each new job harder to get. After returning, she has never written or contacted any of her family. Their daughter is now 6 years old. He and his daughter live with her parents and they will not talk about their daughter. He feels they have become inactive because they are embarrassed about their daughter. He tried, through a person he knows that works in immigration, to find her, and it was reported that they think they located her, except she does not admit to being married, having a child or being a member of the Church. He thinks she is five or six months pregnant now. He was told that for $50,000 he could try to have his marriage annulled, however only 10% of those that try that are successful and those are ones that spend that much or more under the table. The other choice would be for him to go to the United States and there get a divorce and then move back. Of course both options are ridiculous for he is very poor. In fact, he has been working for the Church as a janitor, but they are letting him go and that will leave him out of employment. I am really concerned over his problem for I just don't see a solution. I called Elder Clark and visited with him about my concerns. After we visited a while he said he would visit with President Brimhall about it.
The Umipig's daughter, Dr Marcel called and said she thought I should have some blood work done. She said she was the resident doctor, on call, at the government hospital and so she could leave to come here. We told her we didn't expect her to come here and we could wait until tomorrow to have her look at me. She did suggest that we go to her friend, a classmate of hers, Dr. Arnel Domingo, who has his practice here in Munoz and he could look at me today. We told her we would rather wait for her. Mae had e-mailed Jennie Porter and she e-mailed back this evening with some suggestions of what to take.
Monday, June 23, 2003
We didn't get up early because of me. Dr. Marcel (Umipig) said she would call me back, she did later in the morning and said she couldn't have us come to her hospital, but she would talk to her superior to see if she could have us come to a private hospital and she could go there to check me over and do blood work. She said she would call us back, but she didn't today, so we didn't do anything today about my problem.
Jeff e-mailed us with a cute letter. We always enjoy hearing from our kids. Mike tried to send a couple of pictures but for some reason they didn't come through. I was able to balance our check book this afternoon. Susan and Joy Corpus came over to see how I was doing and visited for a while. This evening I called Rich and Lois to see how they are doing and woke them up at 6AM. It was good to visit with them. For F.H.E. we read a couple of the General Conference talks, popped some popcorn, and played a game of Rummy. I have a wonderful wife and sure love her. I am still not well and I don't think we have any idea as to what I have or what to do for it.
Tuesday, June 24, 2003
I slept in but Mae got up about 7AM and got dressed. We did some work on the Home Teaching files for the Guimba 1st Branch. We received a very nice e-mail from Shellie. We also received 5 pictures from Mike and a short note about a camping trip they took with Jeff, Gail and Scott's family. We didn't hear from Dr Marcel, so Mae tried to contact her. When this didn't work, we decided to see if we could find the Doctor, here in Munoz, that she had recommended. Mae had me stop at Umipig's to see if they were home. They were and took us down to find the Dr. He was closed for the day, so they want us to come back in the morning at 8:15 AM and they will again accompany us to visit him. We went shopping at CVC, any way; I drove Mae over and waited in the car while she did the shopping. It took her longer because she enjoys visiting with the children. As we came home, President Maico and his daughter, Mishelle, were just leaving our place. We had them come back and visit. Dr. Marcel had tried to call us and couldn't reach us, so she called her parents (probably at the time they were with us) and when she didn't reach them, called President Maico and asked him to contact us and get me into Dr. Domingo. We thanked him, and then visited a while with him. Mae enjoyed entertaining his daughter. I still feel deeply concerned about his job situation. After they left, we had some dinner, and then Mae started working on a letter to her family. I put in a conference tape and watched about an hour of that. I called Scott to see if he was able to ship the acidophilus for us. He was able to get one bottle, but thought he could get the other two this evening and get them sent off. It was good to visit for a minute with him and hear of their camping trip with Mike's family and Jeff and Gail. I became very tired and uncomfortable so we went to bed, although Mae soon got back up and continued to work on a letter for her family. I woke later very uncomfortable, so went into the front room to sleep sitting up. Mae woke up since she heard me in pain and we were up a while. I sure miss my recliner.
Wednesday, June 25, 2003
I woke about 3:30AM concerned about the Priesthood leadership training I am to give on the 2nd Saturday of July, to the Executive Secretaries, Branch Clerks, and Branch Finance Clerks. I made up a few notes. Brother and Sister Umipig took us down to Dr. Domingo's and remained with us the full time. They are great people. We were very impressed with Dr. Domingo. He is not pleased that I started the amoxicillin and feels that I should change. He checked me quite thoroughly and feels that I have an upper respiratory infection. He gave me a new drug, zithromax, and wants me to take it for 5 days and come back next Tuesday. I took a short nap after returning home. I just relaxed and rested as the Dr. told me to. President Maico talked to Mae and asks if we could give him $100.00 witch she told him I would have to talk to him when I woke up. I visited with President Nuque about him and was advised not to. I later called President Maico and told him that I couldn't. I tried to give him some counsel, but I think he just wanted the money. President Brimhall called this evening and was just concerned about me. He is so special. We watched the Sunday Morning session of General Conference, October 2002, it was really wonderful. We have invented a new sandwich of toast with peanut butter, honey and sliced bananas on it. It is great!
Thursday, June 26, 2003
I woke early this morning and so to let Mae rest; I stayed up and worked on the information for leadership training for the 2nd Saturday District meeting. I went back to sleep after breakfast. Brother Maico again called and wanted just a P1, 000 to repay money he had used from Church Operating funds. I again had to tell him no. This afternoon I worked more on the Leadership training material. This evening we watched another General Conference tape. Mae made cookies to take to District meeting tomorrow. I think I am feeling some better, anyway I hope. I have been depressed this afternoon.
Friday, June 27, 2003
I am sure that what ever I have is virile as the antibiotic is not affecting it and I still feel lousy. I got up and showered and dressed, thinking just getting going would make me feel some better, but it didn't help much. Mae took cookies over to the missionaries for District Conference, and then came home and we fixed some breakfast. I went back to bed for a while. I woke with a bad headache so got up to take some pills. Mae had just received some e-mails so we read those. We then lay down for a few mounted but I couldn't sleep so got up and entered this into my journal. I would get up for a while but then get very tired and go back to bed. I didn't get much done today.
Saturday, June 28, 2003
I didn't sleep very well last night so after breakfast went back to bed for a while. I feel some better today so went to the World Wide Satellite Priesthood Leadership Broadcast. The instructions were absolutely great but I felt very depressed as there were such a few Brothers there. That is my biggest concern here is the Priesthood Leadership. President Mercado, President Nuque, Brother Ernesto Damacio (I think) and I met for a brief District Presidency meeting. They talk mainly in Tagalog so I really didn't feel very good about that meeting. When I got home Mae had spoke to the lady next door, about how pretty the flowers were, but she must have misunderstood for she cut the flowers off. This language is the hardest barrier I have ever tried to work around. This evening we got some things ready to take to Guimba tomorrow. I worked on my history writing more about the experiences I remember about my Father.
Sunday, June 29, 2003
We were able to sleep in a little, then got up and went to the Guimba 2 Branch. We attended their Sacrament Meeting. They had a very nice meeting with the Jr. Sunday School giving the program. I visited with the Branch Presidency about their Home Teaching program, and was very excited to see the progress they are making. I gave them some helps. They ask us to give a Home Teachers training class on the 12th of July, which we agreed to do. Sister Ronda and Sister Cathleen visited with for a few minutes in between meetings. We then met with the Guimba 1st Branch and gave them their Home Teaching records and some training and aids. We attended the 1st Branches meetings. It was a very enjoyable day. We had Elder Jex's and Elder Barrett for dinner this evening and discussed the Home Teaching Fireside for next Saturday. Mae worked on the Family letter until quite late.
Monday, June 30, 2003
I woke early and wrote in my history. We went grocery shopping, paid some bills, and got our money transferred at the bank. After lunch, I got the car serviced; the tire repaired, filled the car with gas and got it washed. Mae again stayed up late working on letters. I fell asleep about 9PM.

nframe(3f) - [M_calcomp:basic] start new frame (LICENSE:PD)
Synopsis
Description
Example
License
subroutine nframe()
Terminates the current frame and resets the current pen position and origin to zero (The lower left-hand corner of the new frame).
NFRAME is a locally-developed routine.
Subroutine NFRAME allows users to define the logical beginning and ending of a plot. This capability is necessary if plots are to be drawn on a graphics device with a limited display area (e.g., a graphics terminal or microfiche/ film). A call to NFRAME enters a plot terminator in the users metalanguage file. All plotting data generated between calls to NFRAME is treated as a single plot by the graphics post processing procedures. The absence of calls to NFRAME results in all plotting data being processed as a single plot by the post processor (e.g., all plotting data will be drawn in a single frame on microfiche).
The call to NFRAME should be placed before the call to subroutine PLOT that is used to move the pen to the origin of the next plot. Be aware that the area encompassed by moving the pen to establish the origin of a plot is considered part of the plot and will produce a visible bottom and left margin on plot frames if no negative values are subsequently used.
As mentioned previously, a plot frame is limited to a maximum size in either the X or Y direction of 100 "CALCOMP inches." Each plot frame is initialized by a call to subroutine PLOT with the third argument (IPEN) equal to -2 or -3. For example:
CALL PLOT(0.5,1.0,-3)says to move 0.5 inches in the X-direction and 1.0 inch in the Y-direction before establishing a new origin. When establishing a new origin, all offsets are included inside the frame boundary and are therefore part of the plot frame size. If any X or Y coordinate value (plus the appropriate offset) exceeds the 100 inch limit, results are unpredictable. In programs where X and Y coordinate values exceed the scaling limit, a call to the CALCOMP routine FACTOR may be used to scale down the plot size appropriately. No additional offset is added by the call to NFRAME. Knowledge of the plot frame size in the X and Y directions will be needed to scale pen plots to actual inches with the device dependent post processing procedures. The following example is provided to assist in understanding how the frame size is determined.
Sample program
program demo_nframe use M_calcomp implicit none ! !  Establish origin for first plot (Negative Y values up to -0.5 are ! now permitted also) call plot( 0.0, 0.5, -3) ! ! Draw a box inside of which all lines will appear ! but notice plot frame size now includes the offset plus this box size ! Plot frame size = maximum coordinate value used + offset ! Plot frame size in the X-direction is 8 inches !  Calls to generate first plot go here ! . ! . ! . ! Terminate first plot call nframe() ! ! Establish origin for second plot call plot(1.0, 2.0, -3) ! Plot frame size in the X-direction is 6 inches !  Calls to generate second plot go here ! . ! . ! . ! Close the plot file call plot(0.0, 0.0, 999) end program demo_nframeAn inch drawn in frame 1 will not appear equal in length to an inch drawn in frame 2 because their unit-less frame sizes are not equal ( 8.5 x 9 versus 6 x 6 ) !
The size of each frame is determined by the maximum value reached in each frame relative to the ORIGINAL frame origin. Each frame, when plotted, is stretched without distortion to the maximum size it can obtain in the plotting area specified on post-processor calls (Usually the SIZE, and XI and YI parameters as described in the DOCLIB document GRPHDOC).

Anarchist Cooperative Manual (First Ed.)
- Category

- Timestamp
- Thu, 08 Dec 2016
I have been experimenting with anarchist cooperative structures ever since I founded Hypatia Software Organization. There have been a lot of challenges along the way, namely efficiency and organizational clarity. I hope from this manual you can avoid many of the hurdles I've encountered.
- Anarchist Cooperative Manual (??? Edition on Google Docs)
- Anarchist Cooperative Manual (First Edition) PDF download
This was created for Hen Coop.
I'll try to keep this blog post up-to-date, routinely updating it with more complete information, at least until the new edition is published.
Challenges
Ownership
One of the biggest issues boils down to ownership. Here are some ownership issues, who ultimately controls the...
- ... calendar?
- ... website/domain/server/etc?
- ... documents (as with Google Docs, etc.)?
- ... email and other accounts?
The most problematic of all in this subset of ownership issues is of course... money.
Trying to run a cooperative where everyone owns equal share of revenue/governence/ownership is really hard and incompatible with law. You can use various techniques to make it compliant, though. The laws vary state-to-state, and I'm not about to dish up any legal advice.
My mistakes
Here are some major pitfalls I encountered prior when experimenting with anarchist structures, for which I am completely to blame due to my lack of foresight and patience:
- Inability and unpreparedness to handle social/interpersonal incidents
- Responsibility, accountability of actions decided as a membership
- Changing "the system" of participation too rapidly, to the point where members are too confused to participate
- Lack of goals, concrete mission; lack of direction
- Difficulty in sharing resources with others (manuals, meeting minutes, calendar, other member-only stuff)
- Time management during meetings. A clear cut schedule must be adhered to.
My triumphs
- Meeting minutes were always recorded, and by a variety of people, made accessible to everyone
- Consensus turned out to be my favorite method, over both voting (supermajority, Condorcet, etc.), and consent (just say no if you don't want this to happen)
- Other people actually did each of the meeting roles without me helping them
- Some people actually got good help, which made it all worth it

The following type size commands, in order of increasing font size, are supported by LaTeX.
The default for \normalsize is 10-point, but it may differ for some Document Styles or their options. The actual size produced by these commands also depends on the Document Style and, in some styles, more than one of these size commands may produce the same actual size.
The new size takes effect immediately after the size command; if an entire paragraph or unit is set in a certain size, the size command should include the blank line or the \end{} which delimites the unit. (See Declarations.)
These commands cannot be used in math mode. However, part of a formula may be set in a different size by using an \mbox command containing the size command.

Final Chevrolet Corvette C7 Rolls Off The Production Line
Say goodbye to front-engined Corvettes forever.
by Martin BiggIt's the end of an era. 66 years after the original C1 Corvette was introduced in 1953, the final front-engined Corvette has rolled off the assembly line. A photo posted on Twitter by Chevrolet shows the last-ever C7 Corvette at the Bowling Green Assembly Plant. Finished in black, it's based on the potent Z06 model and is equipped with the 3LZ trim package and the Z07 Performance Package, which adds Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, level 3 aerodynamics, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires.
If you were hoping to own this commemorative C7 Corvette, you're out of luck because it was recently sold at a Barrett-Jackson charity auction for an eye-watering $2.7 million, setting a new record for an automaker-donated car. That's significantly more than the C7 Corvette Z06's original $80,900 starting price.

All proceeds will go to the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which supports America's first responders and seriously injured service members. The foundation builds mortgage-free homes for service members and pays off the mortgages for families of first responders that were killed in action.
The C7 Corvette Z06 is powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 producing 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. 0-62 mph takes 3.2 seconds before the Z06 tops out at 195 mph. The final example is equipped with a seven-speed manual transmission, but the Z06 was also offered with an optional eight-speed automatic.
Replacing the C7 Corvette is the new mid-engined C8 Corvette, which starts production next February after suffering a delay. Currently, the only available model is the entry-level Stingray model, which packs a naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter V8 generating 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque.
Eventually, a new, more powerful Z06 will join the lineup, which is rumored to have a twin-turbo V8 based on the Blackwing engine with an output of over 800 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque, but it isn't expected to arrive until 2020.

title=Thanksgiving date=2009-11-26 type=post tags=blog status=published ~~~~~~
I have a lot to be thankful for. This year I moved back to Los Angeles, where I've been well received in a new job and by family. I've experienced success speaking at various conferences, and this year saw the publication of my first book, Apress' "Spring Enterprise Recipes." Recently, I was in a pretty bad accident (a big-rig rear-ended me) and I emerged alive. I have made good friends. I am thankful for the readers of my blogs. I am thankful for my loving friends and family.
I hope you have a long list of things for which you're thankful, too. Happy Thanksgiving!


Keep quiet, UVic threatens
by The Canadian PressThree rowers who accused coach Barney Williams of harassment and abuse say the University of Victoria has threatened them with disciplinary action if they speak about the results of the investigation.
An appeal process examining the allegations recently ended and athletes were provided with a report yesterday, but they say in a statement they don't feel comfortable saying anything about it.
Lily Copeland is one of the complainants and has alleged Williams criticized her weight and appearance and yelled at her in a small, locked room, but Williams says he regards coaching as a privilege, and he encourages athletes to become their best version of themselves.
The university faced criticism in 2016 for threatening a sexual assault complainant with disciplinary action if she spoke about the investigative report in her case with anyone other than her family, lawyer, counsellor or police.
At the time, the school said students are free to tell their stories but it cautioned against disclosing third-party information, and the case was cited in the B.C. legislature when the former government brought in legislation to require universities to have sexual assault policies.
The University of Victoria did not immediately respond to a request for comment today but has previously said privacy legislation and its own confidentiality policies apply to all investigations.

BT keeps Champions League soccer rights in £400 million deal
LONDON: BT has retained the UK broadcast rights to Champions League soccer for three years from 2021 at an annual cost of 400 million pounds, despite reported competition from rival Sky.
The price is in line with the current three-year contract but BT said it covered an additional 77 matches as well as the rights to highlights and in-match clips.
The renegotiation had been seen as a test of the appetite of BT Chief Executive Philip Jansen, who took on the role in February, to spend on sports rights.
The deal also covers matches from the Europa League and a planned third competition for European clubs, BT said in a statement on Friday (Nov 15).
"We're delighted to remain the home of UEFA Champions League in the UK," said Marc Allera, CEO of BT's Consumer Division
BT has had the rights to European club soccer since 2015 after ousting Sky and ITV. Sky, now owned by U.S. media group Comcast, had been expected to bid to win back the rights.
The news helped BT shares to make up some lost ground after Britain's opposition Labour Party said it would nationalise BT's fixed line network to provide free full-fibre broadband for all if it wins the election next month.

LADYBIRD, LADYBIRD A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1995 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): ***
LADYBIRD, LADYBIRD is a shocking true story from England. This is one of those movies that if it were not true, you would see it and complain about how the screenwriter, director, and lead actress had all stretched believability beyond all reasonable bounds. Yet, this is supposedly a very accurate portrayal of the events, and I believe it.
LADYBIRD, LADYBIRD tells the story of Maggie Conlon (played by first time actress Crissy Rock--more on her amazing acting later). Maggie's life is full of problems. Early on we see a scene where she witnesses her Dad beating her Mom senseless in front of Maggie when she is about 5. She cries incessantly while watching her Mom being brutalized.
When we first meet Crissy she already has four children. The family looks like the United Nations as she points out that she has had children with four different men she has lived with, and they have left, in some cases to go back to their native lands. She was never married to any of them. They all share one common thread, however, they beat her constantly with the same rage her Dad beat her Mom. She says she still loves them and keeps trying to go back to them.
In the first scene of the show she is in a bar and meets a new boyfriend (Vladimir Vega) from Venezuela. Naturally, she sleeps with him shortly thereafter. He appears to be a real gentlemen. She tells him that her four kids have been taken by Social Services, and she is suing to get them back.
Most of the movie has to do with Maggie and her battle with the local government.  She screams the F-word constantly in court to the judge, to the Social Services people, and even to her own attorney (barrister I guess I should say).
You are going to be very surprised about the sequence of events in the show. I did not guess many of the twists and turns. Suffice it to say you may think that the writer's name was Franz Kafka where as the writer and director was Ken Loach.
Crissy Rock worked in a bar until she was discovered by the director. Her performance is so outstanding that both Siskel and Ebert wanted her to get an Academy Award nomination for it, and I agree. She plays Maggie as the unlikable and tormented character that she is.
Rock is shaped like the Rock of Gibraltar and is about as good looking. This seemed like perfect casting to me. Maggie is so angry to everyone you find yourself amazed that she has any friends left at all, much less a long succession of lovers. She is literally a walking time bomb in the show, but one with a meantime to explosion of 30 seconds. I do not know if the show is ultimately about abuse, anger, or morality--perhaps all three equally.
The movie runs about right at 1:42. It is unrated, but would be a hard R for scary, explicit, and bloody domestic violence scenes plus zillions of uses of the F-word. I recommend this show, but only for adults. It is a depressing but enlightening show. I give it ***.
**** = One of the top few films of this or any year. A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show.  Totally unbearable.

Marijuana Legalization and Regulation
There is more public support for marijuana law reform than ever before with new polls showing more than half the country is in favor of legalizing marijuana. The Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) believes marijuana should be removed from the criminal justice system and regulated like alcohol and tobacco.
Current Marijuana Laws in the U.S.
Where in the U.S. is marijuana legal?
See where medical marijuana is legal.
What do we know so far about marijuana legalization in 8 states and Washington, DC?
Read our January 2018 report to learn how and why marijuana legalization is working so far.
2019 Legalization Initiatives
Federal Initiatives
Senator Cory Booker (NJ) introduced the Marijuana Justice Act in the U.S. Senate and Representatives Barbara Lee (CA-13) and Ro Khanna (CA-17) introduced the companion bill in the U.S. House to end federal marijuana prohibition, support racial justice, and help repair communities most devastated by the war on drugs.
Learn more about the Marijuana Justice Act.
State Initiatives
DPA is currently working on marijuana legalization campaigns in New Jersey, New Mexico and New York. Learn more about these campaigns and join us to support marijuana reform.
New Solutions Marijuana Reform Campaign
We are working to legalize, tax and regulate marijuana like alcohol for adults in New Jersey. New Jersey’s marijuana laws have had a disproportionate impact on communities of color. Marijuana legalization in New Jersey must be fair and equitable and must address past disproportionate harms to communities of color.
Grow New Mexico
DPA has been advocating at the state legislature for passage of a Constitutional Amendment allowing the possession, use, and sales of marijuana in New Mexico. This will increase tax revenue, generate commerce and support the agricultural economy.
Start SMART NY – Sensible Marijuana Access through Regulated Trade
This campaign is dedicated to ending marijuana prohibition in New York. We believe that it is time to stop the ineffective, racially biased, and unjust enforcement of marijuana prohibition and to create a new, well-regulated, and inclusive marijuana industry that is rooted in racial and economic justice.
Why Should We Legalize?
Reduce harm
The criminalization of marijuana use disproportionately harms young people and people of color, sponsors massive levels of violence and corruption, and fails to curb youth access.
Create jobs
Legalizing and regulating marijuana will bring one of the nation's largest cash crops under the rule of law. This will create jobs and economic opportunities in the formal economy instead of the illicit market.
Save money
Scarce law enforcement resources will be better used to ensure public safety while reducing corrections and court costs. State and local governments would acquire significant new sources of tax revenue from regulating marijuana sales.
Promote consumer safety
Marijuana product testing is becoming a standard requirement for legalized marijuana markets. This means consumers are better informed about the marijuana they use.
DPA product safety recommendations
- Consumers should consider requesting information on any pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers, or any other residual solvents that could remain on flowers after the cultivation process.
- Consumers should be sure to inquire about the potency and dosage of an edible product, especially if they are a novice consumer or if the package is not clearly labeled.
- Testing for mold, fungus, bacteria, and other microbial organisms should be required to ensure safety and quality. The effects of consuming some of these chemicals, especially in the immunocompromised, could be significant.
- Flowers and other cannabis products sold to consumers should include cannabinoid profiles on labels, including the content of THC, CBD and other major cannabinoids, and the number and concentration of doses. This is especially important for edible products, which can contain widely varying doses of cannabis.

2019 Legalization Initiatives
Federal Initiatives
Senator Cory Booker (NJ) introduced the Marijuana Justice Act in the U.S. Senate and Representatives Barbara Lee (CA-13) and Ro Khanna (CA-17) introduced the companion bill in the U.S. House to end federal marijuana prohibition, support racial justice, and help repair communities most devastated by the war on drugs.

State Initiatives
DPA is currently working on marijuana legalization campaigns in New Jersey, New Mexico and New York. Learn more about these campaigns and join us to support marijuana reform.
New Solutions Marijuana Reform Campaign
We are working to legalize, tax and regulate marijuana like alcohol for adults in New Jersey. New Jersey’s marijuana laws have had a disproportionate impact on communities of color. Marijuana legalization in New Jersey must be fair and equitable and must address past disproportionate harms to communities of color.
Grow New Mexico
DPA has been advocating at the state legislature for passage of a Constitutional Amendment allowing the possession, use, and sales of marijuana in New Mexico. This will increase tax revenue, generate commerce and support the agricultural economy.
Start SMART NY – Sensible Marijuana Access through Regulated Trade
This campaign is dedicated to ending marijuana prohibition in New York. We believe that it is time to stop the ineffective, racially biased, and unjust enforcement of marijuana prohibition and to create a new, well-regulated, and inclusive marijuana industry that is rooted in racial and economic justice.
Why Should We Legalize?
Reduce harm
The criminalization of marijuana use disproportionately harms young people and people of color, sponsors massive levels of violence and corruption, and fails to curb youth access.
Create jobs
Legalizing and regulating marijuana will bring one of the nation's largest cash crops under the rule of law. This will create jobs and economic opportunities in the formal economy instead of the illicit market.
Save money
Scarce law enforcement resources will be better used to ensure public safety while reducing corrections and court costs. State and local governments would acquire significant new sources of tax revenue from regulating marijuana sales.
Promote consumer safety
Marijuana product testing is becoming a standard requirement for legalized marijuana markets. This means consumers are better informed about the marijuana they use.
DPA product safety recommendations
- Consumers should consider requesting information on any pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers, or any other residual solvents that could remain on flowers after the cultivation process.
- Consumers should be sure to inquire about the potency and dosage of an edible product, especially if they are a novice consumer or if the package is not clearly labeled.
- Testing for mold, fungus, bacteria, and other microbial organisms should be required to ensure safety and quality. The effects of consuming some of these chemicals, especially in the immunocompromised, could be significant.
- Flowers and other cannabis products sold to consumers should include cannabinoid profiles on labels, including the content of THC, CBD and other major cannabinoids, and the number and concentration of doses. This is especially important for edible products, which can contain widely varying doses of cannabis.
