I woke early, and so not to wake Mae, got up and wrote in my history. We went to the Doctors at 7:30 AM and had some blood drawn for tests. We came back about 9:30AM for the results and an EKG test. The Dr is concerned that my cholorstal and uric acid levels being too high. He asked about our diet and wants us to check as to the way our food is prepared. I really felt depressed with the Doctors findings. I paid the rent this morning and had a note with it as to some lights that needed repair. They came just as we were leaving to go to the doctors. They came back and did the repairs when we got back. Elder Jex and Elder Barrett came over and worked on our computer. Then they made up invitations for the Fireside on Saturday. They also are interpreting the pamphlet "To the Home Teachers of the Church", a talk given by President Ezra Taft Benson in 1987. We made copies of the invitations and took them to President Gajonera and President Neito. President Neito said they were going to come to see us as soon as his wife got home from school, as he had heard that I was sick. President Nuque also stopped and visited while we were there. We came home then worked on the Home Teaching Fireside for Saturday until 9:30 PM, and then I entered my journal.
Wednesday, July 2, 2003
I woke earlier than Mae again. We spent much of the morning working on the outline for our Fireside this Saturday. President Nieto came by and we gave him another sheet of announcements for the Fireside, plus we showed him the Home Teaching program. After lunch we laid down for a nap, Mae really didn't go to sleep and soon got up to study Tagalog. I slept 2 1/2 hours and got up upset that I had slept so long. We worked the rest of the afternoon and all evening on the outline for the Fireside. It was late when we got to bed.
Thursday, July 3, 2003
We got up at 5:30 AM and had to hurry to get ready to go to Angeles. It was 7:30 AM before we left. Mae got on the inter-net to e-mail David our son and Nancy Litchford about what the Doctor said asking both for advice. I think we just need to retake the tests. We went directly to the dentist office. I let Mae off and then I went to an office supply and got a few items we needed. The dentist is concerned that she is going to have to pull Mae's tooth because all the infection will not come out. We will know that in a couple of weeks, or the next time we come back in. We went to the Mission Home, and then went out to eat with the Clark's. There was a vegetable market at the restaurant we ate at, so we purchased some vegetables. It was really enjoyable being with them and just visiting. We looked at some wood carved furniture and saw two corner tables we would really like to buy and have shipped home. Elder Clark stopped at the post office on the way back to the Mission Home and our package from Bob had arrived. That was good timing. We got home after 7 PM and washed the vegetables and put them away. Mae then made cakes for the Elders, for tomorrow. I helped her, and then entered my journal entry. Elder Jex and Elder Barrett came over this morning after we left. We left the house open for them. They finished translating the Address given by President Ezra Taft Benson, into Tagalog, for us.
Friday, July 4, 2003
We are enjoying our mission, but as we thought about the 4th of July, we really have to be grateful for our Home Country. With all its problems it's still the greatest land we have known. I called Elder Clark and ask him to buy the overhead projector I had checked on yesterday and we would pay for it when they come out Sunday. We got ready and attended District meeting with all the Elders. We enjoy being with these young Elders and get a Spiritual lift just being with them. We took the cakes; Mae had made last night for the Elders to eat after the meeting. We took the Elders that are assigned to San Isidro Branch out to their home as we wanted a couple of pictures they had. We took pictures of their pictures, but sadly when we tried to use them, they were to blurry and wouldn't work. We went from there to Guimba where we met the Elders assigned to Guimba 3rd Branch and browed an overhead projector for tomorrow evening. It was after 3PM when we got home. We ate some lunch, and then took a short nap. We went to San Jose to do some shopping and had some papers copied for tomorrow evenings fireside. We worked on our presentation until after 11PM this evening, before going to bed.
Saturday, July 5, 2003
We slept in, and then got up and showered. President Mercado came over and visited for a while. He mainly came to let me know that we would hold our meeting at 3PM today. We enjoyed visiting with him. I sure have empathy for him and his employment in Manila. He is gone all week and then has to take care of his Church callings on the week ends. We worked most of the day on our presentation for this evening. I attended District Presidency from 3 to 4:30 PM, and then came home and took a few minutes nap before returning to give the Fireside. It went well and we had about 1/4th as many there as should have been there, but it turned out ok. President Mercado said that we needed to make the one overhead slide larger as people couldn't read it. The Elders presentation seems to go over well, although I couldn't understand it, it being in Tagalog. We were tired when we went got home, but stayed up and got something to eat. We made toast with peanut butter and honey, then sliced bananas and put on it. We have really started to like that sandwich.
Sunday, July 6, 2003
We got up at 5AM and left for Guimba by 7AM. We had to stop at the Elders in Guimba and leave packages for Guimba 1 &2.  The Clark's were already there when we got there. We visited with the Branch President about the Home Teaching computer program. We attended their meetings. We came back home and had a few minutes to visit with the Clark's while Mae and Sister Clark started dinner. We attended meetings with Munoz @ branch. Fast and Testimony meeting went 1/2 hr over. I had left Sunday school early and ran home to put the vegetables in with the roast.  It was after 8:30 PM before they left to return to Angeles. It's been a busy day but enjoyable.
Monday, July 7, 2003
Today was “P” day and we were with most of the Elders in our District for an activity day. We passed out mail that had come, that is both a good time and a sad time. For those that got mail, they were excited, but some of these Elders may be the only member in their family and the family doesn’t support them. One Elder commented that he thinks his family has forgotten him, for he hasn’t heard from his family for over three months. We fill badly when we see this for these young men are great. They are dedicated to serve the Lord and are really working hard. We were talking to the Mission President and he commented that we didn’t have a bad Elder in the mission, and we had to agree with that as to all the Elders we work with. We met to watch a video that our Mission President approved, “The Other Side of Heaven”. However, we just got started when we had a brown out, which happens often here, so we went bowling. The bowling alley has a generator, so was open. Bowling here is a little different that at home, although there some American traditional alleys in other cities, but for our area, the alley is about standard, the pins are smaller and the balls are about the size of a shot foot ball but lighter. There are no finger holes and you get three ball to throw instead of two. Scoring is about the same, with the next two balls added for a strike, the next ball added for a spare, but a spare can be on either the 2nd or 3rd ball. Any way it was a lot of fun, with no one doing great, but just fun. When we got back to the Elders apartment, the power was back on so we watched the rest of the movie and we all enjoyed it. We were then told those that will be transferring. We had more transfers than normal because of necessary re-alignment due to the problem that there are more missionaries going home than are coming into the field. This, we are told is because of the raising of the standards for missionaries. We agree completely with the Raising the Standards, but sure miss the replacements. President Brimhall is going to have to close some of the areas.
Well, we love the work. We are still struggling with the language. I am not sure if I will every get it. President Brimhall keeps telling me not to worry about it, but we do, as it would be so much easier to communicate with these sweet people. They understand a lot more English that they can speak, but it is still hard.
We just received a call from President Brimhall, asking us to add a couple more presentations to our calendar for the 16th and 23rd of July. He is so special and concerned about us, and expresses his appreciation for the work we are doing. We sure love him and his sweet wife. We also enjoy the couple that serve in the Mission Office, Elder and Sister Clark. They are from Bountiful, Utah. Elder Clark has also been called as a counselor to President Brimhall, so they were out yesterday with us. Sister Browning cooked us a wonderful roast beef dinner with all the potatoes and vegetables. We had been able to buy some lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, celery, broccoli and cauliflower, so that was the first tossed salad we have had since getting here, it was sure a treat. The vegetables came from a northern providence whose climate is more like California and we found them at an open market in Angeles. We enjoyed having the Clark’s come to have someone that you can just visit with and understand each other.
We took a nap after getting home, and then had to go over and get some Book of Remembrances that the Elders were to get to us. We went to San Jose for a few groceries. After dinner, I wrote a letter to my family and we tried to send some pictures to our children. We were late getting to bed.
Tuesday, July 8, 2003
We got up and went walking this morning. Mae gave me a hair cut after we got home. I fell asleep while studying. Mae studied Tagalog quite a lot today. I worked on the computer and did dishes. Time sure seemed to fly by today, with out getting much done. We did take some Book of Remembrances to Eve and Eliza Gajonera, after printing a picture of Mae & me and writing a note to go with it.
Wednesday, July 9, 2003
We went walking this morning, then spent most of today planning for presentations. We did go visit the Dator family for a few minutes. I told him that he could wash our car on Saturday mornings. We will also try buying some of our vegetables through him. Elder Clark called to let me know that President Abo of the San Jose Stake may have an overhead projector that we can use. We sent Elder Clark and President Brimhall an e-mail on a handout we want to give out in some of our presentations. We got an e-mail from Jeff & Gail and one from Mike. We also got an e-mail from Nancy Litchford, which rather discouraged me. Both Mae and I went to bed on the discouraged side tonight.
Thursday, July 10, 2003
We went walking this morning. We spent a lot of time on the computer again planning the 15 minute presentations that we are to give on the 16th & 23rd. That is really hard and I am having trouble getting my mind to focus. We went to San Jose and got the overhead projector and screen that we get to use until we go home. They are both new pieces of equipment. We went over our presentation but were not satisfied with it yet. I tried to get on the inter net to find two pictures we would like to use, but couldn't find anything. It was late when we went to bed. We did get an e-mail from Becky and Scott.
Friday, July 11, 2003
We didn't go walking this morning as we were too late getting to bed. I prepared an omelet for our breakfast. We attended District meeting and as always were very impressed with the Elders. We got 5 new Elders, but lost we lost 7 from our District. Elder Clam is Elder Barrett's new companion. He was from the Guimba 2nd Branch. After meeting we went for a little drive. I could really feel the power of Satan working on me and I felt like I would really like to just drive to the airport and go home. We went home and started work on our presentation instead. Marlyn soon had a nice dinner ready for us. We laid down for a nap, but Bishop Duroncho brought us a clothes dryer. It will need some repairs, but it is better than nothing. I lay back down. I wrote a short letter to President Mercado then took it over to his home. I stopped and talked to Ronald Dator about repairing the clothes dryer. He will come by in the morning. We worked on presentations the rest of the afternoon and evening. We used the flannel board and figures and set up two scenes and took pictures of them. I then transferred them to the computer and made overhead sheets for our presentations. We were very pleased with the way they turned out. We were late getting to bed. Oh well, that's not too unusual.
Saturday, July 12, 2003
We were waked at 6AM by Marlin Dator so he could wash his car. His wife Imalga and their son R J also came. That kept Mae up to visit with them. I did get some work done on the computer. Ronald Dator and his partner came over to work on our dryer. They were until 11 AM working on it and got it working fairly well, but the timer doesn't move. We worked on the presentations right up to the time we had to leave for meetings. President Mercado called me and needed some information that I took down to the Munoz chapel. We got out to Guimba. Where I helped President Mercado set up for District Presidency and Branch Presidency meeting. I held a training session for the Branch Clerks and Executive Secretaries that went fairly well. At 3:30 PM we put on a presentation on Home Teaching and Visiting Teaching for the Guimba 2nd Branch. That went ok, but we made changes to the presentation, on the way to San Jose, for the presentation we were to give at 6 PM at San Jose Stake. We were late getting started due to a meeting that was already in progress when we got to the Stake Center. We got started about 6:30 PM. That went well. It was after 9:30 PM by the time we got home. Mae fixed some supper while I got things unloaded from the car. I stayed up and made my journal entry, but let Mae go to sleep. I needed to stay up a while after eating. Elder Barrett told us of a contact they had this morning that told him of his bad luck lately. He and his wife had to move from one house to another because of the water coming into their home from the rains. They were traveling between the two, when they had hi-jacker's take their car. After two weeks, they got their car back. On the way home they ran into a tractor and wrecked their car. Needles to say, they felt like they were having a streak of bad luck.
Sunday, July 13, 2003
We attended the Munoz 1st Branch this morning. When we separated to Sunday school, I went into the Youth class and really enjoyed it. After the block meetings we returned home. Mae took a short nap or rest as the heat really seemed to get to her today. I fixed lunch, and then I laid down for a nap. Mae continued to write our family weekly letter. We attended the Sacrament meeting at Munoz 2nd branch. After that we attended the Branch council meeting for they were making plans for Home Teaching. We were glad we had for we were able to give them some guidance.
Monday, July 14, 2003
We did go walking this morning, and then came back and took showers. We got a call from the Elders, assigned to Guimba 1st Branch, asking if we would speak at a special program that the Guimba 1st Branch will be putting on to remember the 1st person baptized into the church, in the Guimba area, 23 years ago. They ask us to address "The Responsibilities of being a Pioneer." This will take place on July 28th. We said we would. Brother Silvia came over and helped us with our computer. He removed the Norton Anti-virus program. He showed us how to use Power Point, and did several other things to clean up our files. He was here for over 3 hr, so we gave him P300 and had him eat lunch with us. I took a nap in the afternoon, and then we spent the rest of the afternoon and evening working on our presentations. While I was sleeping, Mae wrote in Christine Mercado's Book of Remembrance. We were late getting to bed.
Tuesday, July 15, 2003
We had to go into the doctor's office this morning for me to have another blood test. This one tested out better on the uric acid and he said I could discontinue the one medication, but he wants me to continue on the medication for High Cholorstal. We had Elder Barrett and Elder Clam over for breakfast this morning. We spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon working on presentation materials. We went to San Jose shopping and on the way dropped of handout materials to a copy store. Brother Silvia stopped on his way home to load an anti-virus program for us and to give us a disk containing graphics for power point. We worked all evening on our presentation for tomorrow. I am tired this evening, not getting a nap today.
Wednesday, July 16, 2003
We got up and soon left for Cabanatuan, picking up Elder Cache on the way. We attended the District and Zone leaders' semi-annual training meeting. The meeting went very well and we especially enjoyed President Brimhall's talks. Mae and I gave a presentation on Home Teaching and Visiting Teaching. We felt it went well. We had to take Elder Cache to Guimba on the way home. The other Guimba Elders weren't there when we got there, so we had to stay and be with him, until they came. He introduced us to his Land Lord, who invited us in and was a very graces host. After getting home we got something to eat. We then went over to visit President Nuque. We enjoyed visiting with them and when I asked him what he suggested we do differently, he said to continue whit what we were doing. We had been concerned that we had upset him last Sunday, but felt good about things when we left. We were tired when we got home and soon went to bed.
Thursday, July 17, 2003
We left for Angeles this morning at 7AM. We got to Clark a little early, so stopped to look at an area shortly after you enter Clark base. We visited with a family that was there, but the thing that amazed us is a man came selling ice cream. He had a hand pushed wagon. But what was so surprising was where did he come from? We were the only potential customers in the area, so why would he be in that area? We went on over to the dentist and she had to pull the tooth for Mae. We went to the mission office after visiting the dentist. We went out to eat with the Clarks. I then had Mae & the Clark’s drop me off at Indulgence Spa, where I got a treatment, for my back was hurting so bad the past few nights. Dr Rosella is the one that recommended this place, but when I walked in I was a little concerned. Everything went ok and I felt much better when I was finished. We stopped at a wood carving shop where we had ordered some trays, but they weren’t ready for us yet. We did buy two bowls however. We visited with President Brimhall when we got back to the mission home. He was excited with our presentation yesterday. I asked him about doing it again for Panique District Priesthood meeting, and he said yes. We are going to try to put the presentation on power point.
Friday, July 18, 2003
We went to District Meeting this morning, then came home and ate dinner. I worked on my journal, changing it from Microsoft works to Microsoft word. That took me a lot longer than I had planned. Mae and I worked all evening getting the power point put together for my presentation for tomorrow. I called Elder Clark and visited for a few minutes about the meeting tomorrow. Elder Barrett and Elder ______ stopped in for just a few minutes. We were late getting to bed.
Saturday, July 19, 2003
I woke about 5 AM with my back hurting. I worked all morning on the power point presentation and with Mae’s help was ready to leave for the Paniqui Stake Priesthood meeting in Moncada by noon. After getting to the main highway that we usually go south to Tarlac, I turned north. I was not sure how far I had to go, and I had forgotten to take the name of where I was to go. I felt that I had gone too far, so thinking I could ask someone, if I had the name of the town, I tried to call Mae. Our cell phone was out of time so that didn’t work. I just prayed and felt that I should continue north. In just a few miles, I came to the Moncada chapel. I was there early so had time to set up. We couldn’t get President Brimhall’s computer to read my disk, so I had to use the overhead slides. I wasn’t feeling very good about the way it went. This evening we watched the movie “Charlie” and enjoyed it. I sure love my beautiful wife, she is special.
Sunday, July 20, 2003
We attended the block meetings at Guimba 2nd Branch. We returned home for lunch, a nap and got dinner on cooking, then went to Munoz 2nd Branch for Sacrament meeting. As we came in, President Nuque told me that Brother Silvia was to speak this afternoon, but had to be out of town. He asked if I would take his place. I used the hymn, “I Believe in Christ” and added Temple and Family History into it. It went ok. We stopped and saw the Sariano family after meeting. The power went of during sacrament meeting, which isn’t unusual, but we had put a chicken on the rotisserie before coming to meeting. The stove is gas, so no problem, but the rotisserie turns with electricity so it burned on one side. We invited Elder Barrett and Elder Clam for dinner. With out power, the house was hot and dark, so we ate out on the patio. It was very present and with a little breeze, quite comfortable. After the Elders left we stayed out for a while. We opened all the windows to let in what air we could, but it was stile hot sleeping. I got up at 11:30 PM when the power came on and the lights were on. I set the fan up and we slept ok the rest of the night.
Monday, July 21, 2003
I woke with my back hurting; Mae rubbed it and tried to get it in place. I wish I know what we should do. I don’t want to get a new mattress if that isn’t the cause. We worked all morning with our schedule planning. After lunch, Mae got on the computer to write our family letter, I took a nap. We got e-mails from Sandi, Becky, David M. and Page (Tayler), Jeff and Amber Stevenson. I got a e-mail ready to sent to Elder & Sister Maharry, then caught my journal up to date. We made some changes to our Home Teaching presentation. Mae stayed up late trying to get some e-mails off. I fell asleep in the front room.
Tuesday, July 22, 2003
I got up at 5:30 AM but let Mae sleep a wile longer. The weather was bad so we couldn’t go walking anyway. We fixed breakfast for the Elders; they then gave us some lessons in Tagalog. That really depressed me and I don’t know what to do about it. It really started raining while we were eating and it continued all day. Our power went out about 10 AM and has remained out all day. Our phone also went out. We went to San Jose to get some money out of the bank and did some shopping at CVC. There is a lot of trees blown down and a lot of flooding. Power is out all over the area and the businesses that are open have their own generators. We took a nap when we got home. We tried to study for the presentation tomorrow, but were not sure if the meeting is still going to be held or not. We went back to San Jose and purchased a phone card for our cell phone, but our battery is low so needs to be recharged before we can use it. We got a sandwich for dinner, then went over to Gajonera’s to meet with them to go over the CMIS for the Munoz 1st Branch, but they were not home. After trying to find them, we came home, and gave up for the day.
Wednesday, July 23, 2003
I woke at 3 AM with my back hurting. I took some Aleve and tried to go back to bed but couldn’t go to sleep, so set up in the chair and slept until Mae woke me at 5 AM. The storm has continued all night with high winds and heavy rains. The storm is considered to be a typhoon with a #4 ratting. It has done a lot of damage and a lot of flooding. We still don’t have electrical power, so don’t have water. We had to take a spit shower and get ready with candle light. Our phone is also out so we stopped at the Elders house and used their phone to call the mission home. The Elders at the mission home told us that the meeting was canceled due to the storm and would be rescheduled. We came back home and I went back to sleep. Mae came in to wake me at 10 AM, and about then, Brother Sylvia, President Gajonera and Ernesto Damacio came by to see if we were ok. Also that President Gajonera could let us know what happened to them last night. Because their roof leaked so badly they had to go down to the church house to sleep the night. The three of these brethren had been checking on families to see if they were ok. Other than some of them got water in their homes, everyone was ok. We had enough power in the computer to show Brother Sylvia our power point presentation. We also took time to explain the program to President Gajonera. After lunch we went to San Jose and got some gloves, then came back to help Brother Roger Sylvia clean his house. It took us a while to find his home and by the time we did with the help of others, they had it cleaned up. We checked on Sister Sariano, as her husband is out of town. They are ok. We checked with the Corpus’s and they had water in their house, but had it all cleaned up by the time we got there. We came home and set out on the patio and played a game of Rook. We then fixed dinner. While it was cooking, I took some information about our computer to Roger Sylvia. He thinks he can fix a problem we are having on it. The power came back on this evening, and the phone was back working for a while.  After dinner we did up the dishes, and it is sure good to have power and water again. Elder and Sister Clark were able to call us just before the phone went back out. They informed us that our Zone Conference is to be held tomorrow. We will have to change our plans as to going to Angeles tomorrow. I worked on some changes to our power point presentation this evening.
Thursday, July 24, 2003
We did get a chance to go walking this morning. As we returned to the house, Elder Barrett and Elder Clam were waiting for us. With the change in the Zone Conference schedule, the place of meeting was also changed, but some of the Elders could not be contacted, so Elder Barrett asked if I could go to San Jose and get them from the Stake Center. I did, then stopped at home and got Mae, and then went on to the Munoz Chapel. I also tried to find some keys to the recreation hall, as we needed a portable chalk. The meeting went well and as always President and Sister Brimhall gave marvelous advice to us. After meeting we took the Elders that came from Guimba part way, to where they could get a ride. We tried to return President Gajonera’s keys to him, but no one was home. We came on home and got something to eat, then took a nap. We took handouts to the copy shop for copies for Saturday’s presentations, tried to e-mail Scott from a computer shop, but the system had failures, stopped at Marlin Dator’s to schedule the washing of the car, got gas in the car, and returned the keys. We came home and worked all evening on presentations. We did receive e-mails from Jackie Thompson, K. Byron, Jeanie Burgess and Scott, that we copied to a 3 ½” floppy disk and read when we got home.
Friday, July 25, 2003
We got up at 5:40 AM, though we had planned on getting up at 4:30 AM. I guess I miss set the alarm. We had to hurry in order to get away by 6:30 AM for Angeles. We got to the Bank at 8:50 AM and had to wait 10 minutes for the bank to open. We cashed a check, and then went to the mission home. We visited with Elder and Sister Clark for a few minutes and then went to Mae’s dentist appointment. While Mae was having her teeth worked on, I went to Rock Bottom Office Supply and got some ink cartridges. We went out to eat with the Clark’s and really enjoyed being with them. We stopped at the wood shop and got the serving trays we want to send home to our children. We looked at the end tables, and want to get them, but are concerned about the shipping. We left the mission home about 4 PM for home. In Tarlac the traffic was terrible and we had heavy rain. A trike bumped the back of the car, but I didn’t think much about it, until we got to Munoz and we saw the Elder’s walking, so offered them a ride. They asked what had happened to our car. It did bend the back bumper in, but I think it will pop back out. We got home in time to go to the print shop and pick up the handouts we had copies made of today. We were sure tired, but took time to go through our presentation for tomorrow at Gapan, before going to bed.
Saturday, July 25, 2003
This morning we went to Gapan where we gave a presentation, we then came home and I let Mae off. I went right to the Munoz chapel to the District Presidency meeting. President Nuque got there right after I did, but no one else came so we played two games of chess. President Nuque beat the first one and I won the second one. At 3PM President Mercado came and we went into the office. We were another ½ hour opening mail and President Desalas came. I asked to be excused at 4:30 PM so we could go to Rezal to give another presentation. We took Elder Barrett and Elder Clam with us, and then picked up Elder Hayman and Elder Park in San Jose to go with us also. We got there in time ok, but because of a Institute class we were 45 minutes late starting. It went well, but not to well attended for two Wards. I talked to one Bishop and he doesn’t have counselors that support him. The other Ward is even worse, as the Bishop went to Saudi to work and just walked out of his calling, leaving the Elders in charge. When we left to return home, the Elders were visiting and I took a wrong turn. I finally realized the road didn’t look right and asked where we were. We had to back track quite a ways. I was a little concerned as we were low on fuel. When we turned around, we had a prayer and returned ok. I stopped in San Jose to get gas, before coming home. It was after 1 PM before we got the Elders home. We got something to eat, and then watched the video “Charlie” before going to bed.
Sunday, July 27, 2003
We attended Munoz 1st Branch this morning. I woke upset over some of the things that are not going right here in this area, wondering what should be done. I made a list of concerns and am debating what to do about them. After Sacrament meeting we came home and I took a nap. Mae worked on the family letter. We attended the meetings at Guimba 1st Branch. The Branch President asked Mae and I to talk in Sacrament meeting. We came home and got dinner ready and had Elder Barrett and Elder Clam come to eat with us. Mae worked on letters to e-mail, while I worked on a talk for tomorrow. We are having trouble with our internet connections and can not get on the internet now. I updated my journal before we went to bed.
Monday, July 28, 2003
Woke early with a back ache and it took a while to get back to sleep. About that time, the alarm went off.  Brother Roger Silvia came to make a correction to our computer, but was unable to do so as our phone connection is having problems and we can’t get on the inter-net. Brother Silvia said it is in the pone line and not in the computer. That is a great relief to know. We called the phone co. and they are trying to repair the line. This evening they called and thought they had it repaired, but when I called back and told them that it still wasn’t working, they said they would have to come to the house tomorrow. We went out to Guimba to speak at an activity in honor of the first converts to the church in 1980. As I began to speak, I completely changed my talk. I think it went well, but Mae was surprised at my talk and when she asked me about the change, I said that I was as surprised as she. We were going to go shopping after we got home, but was to tired so just stayed home and read the e-mails we got this morning. We had to go to a computer shop to get our e-mails as the land line is still not working. President Clark call and we talked for a few minutes. We sure enjoyed getting letters from our children. Mae is sure a special wife and sweetheart. Sure love her!

I woke early and couldn’t go back to sleep because of a back ache. We did get up about 6 PM and went walking at the collage. After we got back we showered and had breakfast. We then took a nap, then Mae got birthday cards ready to mail to Taylor Paige and Garrett. Mae stayed home while I went shopping in San Jose. She stayed home because the phone co. said they would be here today to repair our phone line, but they didn’t come. She did get some studding done and part of the Family letter written. I mailed the Birthday cards, deposited our monthly check, looked at three stores for a new bed, and went grocery shopping. This evening we had Roger and Heidi Silvia and their two children Karen and Darin over for dinner. We watched the DVD “Building Faith in Christ” before dinner. Mae had a nice dinner ready and we enjoyed it.   The reason for having then over this evening is it is their 4th Wedding anniversary. We put the video “Charlie” on but the children became tired so they had to take them home. It has been a good evening; we hope they enjoyed it also. After cleaning up the dishes, Mae and I watched the ending of the movie and as always cried at the ending. As Mae was brushing her teeth, the temporary tooth that Dr. Rosales but in, came out. She will have to wait until we go to Angeles on Monday to get it replaced.
Wednesday, July 30, 2003
I was up at 2 AM with back pain so didn’t get very much sleep. When I did lay back down, Mae let me sleep late. We didn’t get a lot done today, as I spent quite a bit of time trying to use the cell phone to get a call in to the phone co. to report our phone is out of order. I also tried to call the mission home, but couldn’t get that call through. Mae was able to call her dentist. They would like her to wait until Monday to come in. I called a furniture co in Tarlac to find out their location so we can go there to check on a bed. We worked on the computer trying to get some ideas down on things that would help the leaders here.
Thursday, July 31, 2003
I didn’t sleep very well again tonight. We got up and went walking anyway this morning. After breakfast we took a nap, and then we worked on some of our files in the computer. Elder Barrett and Elder Clam came over about noon, so we invited them to eat with us. I took them over to San Jose where they did a split with Elder Hayman and Elder Park. Elder Clam and Hayman went with me to San Isadora to see if the Elders there had a copy of “To the Home Teachers of the Church” that we use in man of our presentations. They think the Bishop there will have a copy and will bring me one tomorrow at District meeting. I took Elders Clam & Hayman back to San Jose, and then came home. The phone co hadn’t come to repair our phone line yet. I called the phone co. but got little help there. We worked more on some of our files. I tried to develop some forms in Excel but couldn’t figure it out. I have tried to reach President Clark, but haven’t been able to get through. I think they are also having phone problems.

TARZAN AND THE LOST CITY (1998)
Rating: 2.0 stars (out of 4.0) ******************************** Key to rating system: 2.0 stars - Debatable 2.5 stars - Some people may like it 3.0 stars - I liked it 3.5 stars - I am biased in favor of the movie 4.0 stars - I felt the movie's impact personally or it stood out *********************************
Directed by: Carl Schenkel
Written by: Bayard Johnson, J. Anderson Black from stories and characters by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Starring: Casper Van Dien, Jane March, Steven Waddington
Ingredients: True love, Tarzan, Jane, lost city of Opar
Synopsis: Tarzan, (Casper Van Dien) jungle lord turned society guy, is in Britain preparing for his wedding to Jane Porter (Jane March) when he receives a psychic call from an African medicine man, telling him that white men are plundering Africa. Some bad guys led by Mr. Nigel Ravens are on an expedition to find and loot the lost African city of Opar, considered taboo and sacred by the African natives, who unfortunately, don't have the guns to stop Ravens and his men. Tarzan sails back to Africa to stop Ravens. Jane soon follows Tarzan to Africa and is captured by Ravens.
Can Tarzan stop Ravens?
Opinion: Other than less vine-swinging for Tarzan, and a more liberated Jane, there is nothing new to be found here. Like Kevin Coster's accent in ROBINHOOD, the African language, songs, and drum rhythms in TARZAN AND THE LOST CITY are obviously faked. Tarzan's British accent seems to come and go as well.
The plot also has a big hole in it: the African medicine man Mugambi supposedly summons Tarzan for help, but the shaman apparently possesses enough magical powers to easily handle the white men on his own; he can turn himself into giant bulletproof snakes and hordes of bees, and can make dead bones turn into magical warriors. Even the non-magical African villagers are able to send Raven and his looters scurrying away into a cave - - using mere spears and arrows. So why ask Tarzan to come over from England? The only real purpose Tarzan serves is to rescue Jane, who, predictably gets captured following Tarzan to Africa.
Is it bad? Not really. TARZAN AND THE LOST CITY feels a lot like a Saturday afternoon made-for-TV movie. With the same movie set and characters but a different plot, language, and music, it would have been a sharper, more exotic film.
Actually TARZAN AND THE LOST CITY reminds me a lot of the 12 BOMBA OF THE JUNGLE action series movies made between 1949 and 1955, which - - according to MATT'S BOMBA THE JUNGLE BOY MOVIE GUIDE - - were created by hiring a B-movie veteran as the director/writer, and using "a shoestring budget with predictable plots and a heavy reliance on stock jungle footage."
Campy and predictable? Yes, but good enough for a Saturday afternoon.

--- title: "LXFactory, Jenna and Jeremy" date: 2018-05-11 tags: [portugal] ---
Back to work today. Slept in until 8:30, it was delightful. Wrote for 30 minutes and prepared a todo list for the day before heading out. Emma and I (and soon after, Josh), went to LXFactory, a hip area of shops, cafes, restaurants, and bars mostly frequented by young people. We worked from there for the morning - super pleasant. Then we walked back to the house and worked a bit more before I left to meet up with Sam to run.
Unexpected bonus today: Jenna Fullerton got in touch due to a family e-mail chain, since she and her boyfriend Jeremy were visiting Lisbon. They met us at this delicious Mexican place for dinner (Pistola y Corazon), which was also in a hip and crowded area… but the food was on point. Maybe the best I’ve had all trip. Jenna and Jeremy just arrived from 3 days in Madrid, where they saw a Flamenco show and a bullfight. Here they’ve walked around the Alfama and went to Sintra, and tonight they’ll go to a Fado show and then go to a club that doesn’t even start “going” until 2:30am. They invited us out, but… we old.

Like most people, we at Peak are inspired by those we love.>
What we do reflects who we are and what we believe.>
We see a world in which each perspective is valued equally.>
To our founder Dani, being an older sister to three brothers means more than making them play dress up until they were old enough to realize they could say no. When Justin, the oldest of her brothers, was born with a wide array of disabilities, the two of them began a lifelong journey of mutual love and inspiration. Neither would have guessed it would result in the creation of Peak, but when Justin grew into a young man, he struggled to get hired in a meaningful job despite his hard work and the hard work of those who support him. Seeing this firsthand, Dani knew it was time for change. The realization that the unique contributions of countless individuals are being passed up on inspired her to form Peak Innovation Inc. to provide resources for and promote the participation of people of all ability levels in design.
While many important efforts seek to give immediate aid and relief to people of different abilities in need, our approach seeks to provide long-term solutions to poverty and unemployment by integrating community, educational and infrastructural resources, and an adaptable skillset to empower people of different abilities to move forward in a way that brings their unique talents to the world. Based in Thailand, we have been working at schools for the disabled for eight months to co-create a makerspace to educate and connect students to the world of design. We believe that true accessibility does not mean taking what exists and retrofitting it to the differently abled as an afterthought, but designing with inclusivity as the inspiration for our work. We are constantly developing our ideas and designs based off of the needs of our students, who themselves are the driving force behind the innovation taking place. Our space is intended to be an incubator of creativity, confidence, and progress toward a better world for all, connecting students to the tools and resources they need to build a life for themselves and those around them.
We believe that no one knows what people with different abilities need better than the people who live with them every day. Currently most opportunity in the design and implementation of accessible technology is limited to able bodied people. Peak seeks to change that. By equipping people of different abilities with a foundational confidence in design and manufacturing processes, the beneficiaries of Peak Innovations can make exactly what they need to in order to empower them to do whatever it is they want to do. Whether or not their long-term goals are to become full-time designers and engineers, by empowering differently abled people to create technology that helps them live their everyday lives or gets them closer to their ultimate career goals, substantial improvement can be made in the standard of living for all. Accessibility is more than a feature, and it’s time to integrate a new generation of makers whose voices are deeply needed in design.

Contents
While there are many ways to install PyBlosxom, the most common one is to install PyBlosxom as a CGI script for a single user. This installation guide will cover that. For other ways to install PyBlosxom, refer to the docs directory, mailing lists and the web-site.
This installation assumes you have some understanding of CGI, Apache configuration, and know how to manipulate files and directories. If this doesn't sound like you, maybe you should get a friend to help out or ask for help on the pyblosxom-users mailing list. Details of the mailing list are on our web-site on the Contact us page.
Note
A note about upgrading PyBlosxom:
If you are upgrading your version of PyBlosxom, follow the instructions here and also read the README that comes with your PyBlosxom tarball for differences between this version and the previous versions. The README file contains instructions on updating your config.py file, templates, and other parts of your PyBlosxom installation which you will have to do by hand.
You will need:
Additionally, if you are running PyBlosxom on Windows, you will also need:
You can find versions of PyBlosxom by going to the Download link at http://pyblosxom.sourceforge.net/ .
Download the latest PyBlosxom .tar.gz file.
Installing PyBlosxom should take 5-10 minutes depending on what state your system is currently in. The installation consists of seven steps. Tweaking, styling, and adding content to your blog is covered afterwards and in other parts of the documentation.
Create a working temporary directory, move the PyBlosxom tar ball into it, and then untar the tar ball (something like tar -xzvf pyblosxom.version.tar.gz).
There are two ways to install PyBlosxom on your system:
You can install PyBlosxom as a Python library. To do this, change directory into the pyblosxom directory and run:
python setup.py install
After you do this, PyBlosxom will be installed as a Python library and you can move on to Setting up a blog.
If you don't want to or can't install PyBlosxom as a Python library, just untar it into your directory and be sure to follow the instructions on setting the codebase parameter later.
To set up a blog do the following:
Copy the config.py and pyblosxom.cgi files from the web/ directory into your cgi-bin/ directory or some directory that has CGI permissions.
First create a directory for holding all your PyBlosxom files. Call this directory myblog/ and put it in your userdir.
Then create a sub-directory entries/ under myblog/.
The entries for your blog are text files in your datadir. The datadir can contain directories each of which will be a category for PyBlosxom. In general, it's good to use one-word names that don't have spaces or punctuation in them for your directories.
Then create a sub-directory flavours/ under myblog/.
Flavours are collections of template files for a single look and feel for your blog. You can store these flavours in the flavourdir.
Then create a sub-directory plugins/ under myblog/.
This directory will hold plugins that augment and extend the PyBlosxom's default behavior to meet your specific needs.
The resulting tree would look like this (if your name was joe):
/home/joe/ |- myblog/ |- entries/ |- flavours/ |- plugins/
Open the config.py file up in your favorite editor. Go through and change the values of the configuration settings according to the instructions in the config.py file.
Make sure to set:
Note
If you did NOT install PyBlosxom as a Python library, then you must also set the codebase property to the directory you untarred PyBlosxom into. This should be the directory that holds the Pyblosxom directory (note the case!).
Plugins will require you to add new variables to your config.py file in order to direct the plugin's behavior. Additionally, you can add variables to your config.py and these variables will be available to you in your flavour templates.
You want to verify that your blog is set up correctly. Change directory into your cgi-bin directory and run from the command line:
./pyblosxom.cgi
PyBlosxom will go through a series of checks on your config.py file to make sure that things are set up correctly and that required properties are set.
If there are any problems, follow the instructions that it gives you.
Note
Because you're running this check from the command line, there could still be problems with your setup. However, if you get through the verify step, then it's likely any further problems are related to your web-server setup and whether it can execute pyblosxom.cgi.
Now it's time to write your first post and test your blog. Change directories to your datadir, launch your favorite editor and create a file called firstpost.txt. Copy the following text into it:
This is my first post <p> This is my first post with PyBlosxom. </p>
The first line "First Post" becomes the title of the blog entry. The date of the blog entry is the mtime on the file. The body of the blog entry starts with the HTML paragraph tag in the second line and extends to the end paragraph tag in the last line. Your blog entries can be as long as you want. The first line is plain text--everything after that is HTML.
Note
If you want to use a different markup like reST or Textile or Moinmoin or something like that, see the documentation on Writing Entries for how to set that up.
Open up a web-browser and go to the URL http://your_server_here/path/to/cgi-bin/pyblosxom.cgi
If you're running GNU/Linux with Apache and you have user folders set up and your username was joe, then the url for your PyBlosxom blog might be something like this:
http://www.joe.com/~joe/cgi-bin/pyblosxom.cgi
If everything is configured correctly, you should see your first post rendered with the default HTML flavour. If not, you'll either see a Python stack trace or a message along the lines of Internal Server Error. See below for help on trouble-shooting.
We're going to try to break this down a bit into categories. Bear with us and keep trying things. If you have problems and have gone through this section to no avail, then come talk to us on the Pyblosxom users list. Details of the mailing list are located at our Contact us page.
First, you should check to see if you have Python installed on your system. If not, then please install Python.
If Python is installed on your system, make sure the first line in pyblosxom.cgi points to your Python interpreter. If not, fix that and try running ./pyblosxom.cgi again.
If Python is installed on your system and the first line of pyblosxom.cgi is correct, then check for permissions issues: pyblosxom.cgi is a script--so it needs execute permission in order to function. If those aren't set, then fix that and try running ./pyblosxom.cgi again.
When you try to look at your blog and you get a HTTP 404 error, then you're using the wrong URL. Are you futzing with .htaccess? Does your server allow you to run CGI scripts? Do other CGI scripts work? Does the URL you're trying to use to access PyBlosxom look like other URLs that work on your system?
Note
Please read the installation chapter:
At this point, running ./pyblosxom.cgi at the command prompt should work fine. If you haven't done that and you're busy trouble-shooting, go back to the installation guide and make sure you did all the steps.
When you try to look at your blog in a web-browser and get a HTTP 500 error, the first thing you should do is uncomment the line in pyblosxom.cgi (remove the # at the beginning of the line) that looks like this:
#import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
so that it looks like this:
import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
Then refresh the page in your browser. If the problem is with PyBlosxom and not your web-server, then you should see a pretty traceback that will help you figure out what the specific problem is.
If it doesn't make any sense to you, you can copy and paste that into an email to the pyblosxom-users mailing list and we're in a better position to help you out.
If you don't see a traceback, then you either have a configuration problem with your web-server or a configuration problem with Python. The first thing you should do is check your web-server's error logs. For Apache, look for the error.log file in a place like /var/logs/apache or /var/logs/httpd.
Does the account your web-server runs as have execute access to your pyblosxom.cgi script? If your web-server does not have the permissions to read and execute your pyblosxom.cgi script, then your blog will not work.
Do you have plugins loaded? If you do, try unloading all your plugins and see if the problem persists. Sometimes there are issues with plugins that only show up in certain situations.
Try changing the renderer for your blog to the debug renderer. You can do this by setting the renderer property in your config.py file to debug. That will show a lot more detail about your configuration, what the web-server passes PyBlosxom in environment variables, and other data about your blog that might help you figure out what your problem is.
Read the chapter on Flavours and Templates to help you out.
That's ok. PyBlosxom supports entry parsers which allow you to format your blog entries in any formatting markup that someone has written a plugin for. See the documentation on Writing Entries for more information.
That's it! If you have problems, visit our web-site and read through the updated documentation including the Trouble-shooting section of the PyBlosxom Manual.
Happy blogging!
-- PyBlosxom Development Team


This project is still in development: here is a 'known wishes' list. Suggestions
to pbristow at hetp.u-net.com.
-
Allow function pointers to specify functions
as input. A typical use case is to just see what a function like
sin(x)
looks like.
-
Radian coordinate system.
-
Implementation of SVG's DOM. This will
make the SVG class useful for other things than solely making graphs! The
existing SVG features implemented are now documented better, so one could
consider using it for other purposes.
-
Automatic scaling of the axis has been
implemented. Feedback on how 'nicely' it works in practice would be welcome.
Some of the uglier features of Microsoft Excel autoscaling have been avoided,
but opinions on aesthetics vary widely.
-
Allow 2D plots of 1D containers - a very
common need, for example for Time Series. Jake had trouble with having
functors that update state interact with
make_transform_iterator
,
and omitted the feature.
-
Make time and/or data labelled axis possible, with datetime a first class
citizen type.
-
Allow other image formats. There are many
inherent difficulties with this part. The solution that was explored is
allowing the user to pass a functor that traverses the document tree. Generalizing
images to an
image
class
is fraught with difficulties, as SVG is a tree-based format, which it does
not share with many other formats.
-
(Note that Inkscape permits
conversion to bitmap format, .png etc, and other tools can accept and convert
bitmaps. This is used in the Boost.Math documentation. A Python file called
generate.sh in the math toolkit shows how to automate this conversion process
for many .svg files in a folder using Inkscape in command line mode. $inkscape
-d $dpi -e $(cygpath -a -w $pngfile) $(cygpath -a -w $svgfile) )
-
Avoid redrawing the entire plot each time.
This is the easiest way to write the program initially, but it would be
more efficient if the program could keep track of what has been changed
and what hasn't, so that it may be more efficient if lots of images are
being produced. This hasn't been found to be a problem in practice so far.
-
Allow the user to provide a function object for generating custom
axis labels, for example, label axes with names of months (Jan,
Feb, Mar...) instead of integer representations of months (1, 2, 3...).
-
Logarithmic Axes. This does not look simple.
Meanwhile you can take the log of the data.
-
Allow an External stylesheet to be loaded
to style the graph. External stylesheets will allow a standard and easy
way to style the document so that users don't have to come up with their
own home-grown solutions. This was sketched out, but seemed much more complicated
now that very may more options to control features have been added. (The
'first try' code that Jake produced now longer compiles, so has been commented
out).

See you not that to Allah prostrates whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and Ad-Dawab (moving living creatures, beasts, etc.), and many of mankind? But there are many (men) on whom the punishment is justified. And whomsoever Allah disgraces, none can honour him. Verily! Allah does what He wills. |

Seest thou not that to Allah makes submission whoever is in the heavens and whoever is in the earth, and the sun and the moon and the starts, and the mountains and the trees, and the animals and many of the people? And many there are to whom chastisement is due. And he whom Allah abases, none can give him honour. Surely Allah does what He pleases. |

Hast thou not seen that unto Allah payeth adoration whosoever is in the heavens and whosoever is in the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the hills, and the trees, and the beasts, and many of mankind, while there are many unto whom the doom is justly due. He whom Allah scorneth, there is none to give him honour. Lo! Allah doeth what He will. |

Do you not realize that to GOD prostrates everyone in the heavens and the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and the animals, and many people? Many others among the people are committed to doom. Whomever GOD shames, none will honor him. Everything is in accordance with GOD's will. |
| 022:018 Sarwar | : |
Have you not considered that those in the heavens and the earth, the Sun, the Moon, the Stars, the mountains, the trees, the animals, and many people, all bow down to God? But many people deserve His torment. No one can give honor to whomever God has insulted. God has all the power to do what He wants. |
| 022:018 Shakir | : |
Do you not see that Allah is He, Whom obeys whoever is in the heavens and whoever is in the earth, and the sun and the moon and the stars, and the mountains and the trees, and the animals and many of the people; and many there are against whom chastisement has become necessary; and whomsoever Allah abases, there is none who can make him honorable; surely Allah does what He pleases. |
| 022:018 Sherali | : |
Hast thou not seen that to ALLAH submits whosoever is in the heavens and whosoever is in the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains and the trees, and the beasts, and many of mankind? But there are many who become deserving of punishment. And whomsoever ALLAH disgraces, none can raise him to honour. Verily, ALLAH does what HE pleases. |
| 022:018 Yusufali | : |

MLD2P4 has been designed to provide scalable and easy-to-use preconditioners in the context of the PSBLAS (Parallel Sparse Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) computational framework and can be used in conjuction with the Krylov solvers available in this framework. MLD2P4 enables the user to easily specify different features of an algebraic multilevel preconditioner, thus allowing to search for the “best” preconditioner for the problem at hand.
The package employs object-oriented design techniques in Fortran 2003, with interfaces to additional third party libraries such as MUMPS, UMFPACK, SuperLU, and SuperLU_Dist, which can be exploited in building multilevel preconditioners. The parallel implementation is based on a Single Program Multiple Data (SPMD) paradigm; the inter-process communication is based on MPI and is managed mainly through PSBLAS.
This guide provides a brief description of the functionalities and the user interface of MLD2P4.


I’ve been very silent for a while but I have a big update coming soon. I’ve been extensively working on my own raytracer, Solstice whilst also beefing up my real-time engine which I’ve called Equinox.
I’ve been writing the blog posts for the next Ray tracing in One Weekend chapters, which I’m quite excited about, I’ve tried to be as pedagogical as possible.
I also have a post about how to go about building acceleration structures. In my opinion there isn’t really a gentle introduction on how to do this, and I’d like to fill the void. Just general tips and advice. I’m writing about my own personal process and the mistakes I made and how I fixed and debugged stuff.
The big blog post I’m planning for the summer will be about bidirectional path tracing. I’m going to provide a very simple framework and scene, for people and walk them through the theory and implementation. I’ve been thinking a lot about this and my aim is to simplify the concepts as much as possible.
On the work-side, we’re veeeeery busy with SIGGRAPH, but I’ll share later on what we’re doing, I don’t want to spoil it, but it is going to be brilliant! Tomorrow I’m giving a talk to the London GPU meetup group and I’ll talk about our initial efforts and investigations into getting some Realtime Ray tracing inside of Unity DXR. Whereas at GTC we kept it quite high level, I’ll dive deeper this time.

well
I am a small pixie of a girl. at the grand age of 21 I have experimented with different hallucinogenics, such as mushies, and lsd, and pills of many kinds etc. So now a good friend of mine offers me some bromo dragonfly for my weekends festivities... 'warning... takes up to 3 hours to fully kick in... they are very well made.' So a good friend of mine and I went to a mystical festival out in the countryside, couldnt think of a better place to trip.
approx times:
4pm
we take the tabs, one each, whilst sitting on a giant hammock. they taste pretty strong. We drank a beer. we then wonder about for awhile a wondering what will happen later
5pmish
we head back to the van to smoke and eat before eating becomes a challenge... it was about half an hour into eating a never ending cup of mung beans that I realised the van was beginning to shift, that the walls appeared to be breathing ever so slightly. That beer was not such a good idea as I could now feel a headache spreading from the back of my head. At this point I do believe we have a spliff.
6pmish
trip is deffinately kicking in as the sun goes visuals get a little stronger. We head to the woodland to bang on some drums. I remember my amazment as I hit the old water drums and blongs, the vibrations were visible all over the place, like each time I hit it I could feel it, it could feel me. It reverberated outwards and I could see the sound waves. I couldn’t speak very much already at this point, I was just like woooow man… at pretty much everything I looked at. He on the other hand was able to chat away to various folk we bumped into, experience perhaps. We walked over to the stream, people were camping on an island. I think it was at this point that I started to peak.
7pmish
yep peaking
everything looks utterly beautiful. This truly is a very pleasant hallucinogen as things are just wonderful, I feel great, I'm full of positive energy, there is no fear, no negativity. The landscape looks totally lush, the water ripples by, a small bird catches the attention of my eye and I watch it for a time, whilst my friend chats away to some people about something or other. The land seems to ripple and sway with the water, ooh I cant quite focus right now!
 The fields were very muddy, and the weather not too good. But this did not make me cold as it normally would in such situations.
I think we went back to the van for awhile to float about, this was when I think I first noticed the moon, it looked so amazing I think I nearly fell over as someone caught me. I stared and stared, wondering how far I could push it, and yes, little by little I saw a very faint face emerge, formed of the cresent moon to the right and venus to the left, the tree line skimming the bottom of the chin. As the stars came out the music got better, in reality it actually got better too! We stayed for a bit where the music was groovy. The trees too were getting interesting, pines, now I always thought that pines kind of vibrated, but this was something different!
So we walked about the festival wowing at things. It seemed different from acid or mushies in that I felt a little distant from everything, like we were not quite there… this has to be one of the down points of this drug. And I felt so calm that words seemed to not be worth saying, that I couldn’t justify what I was thinking and seeing.
Ah yes seeing.
Perhaps it could be the name, but we both agreed that we were seeing the dragonfly. The visuals seemed bluey, greeny with a touch of pink and shimmery, they seemed to be similar to insect wings, and the slight audio desortion complemented this. The most beautiful had to be the stars. The stars were already beautiful where we were, a really clear night, with very little light pollution. But with the dragonfly it was completely ammmaaaaaaaaazing! Words cannot fully describe the true beauty of that night sky. We lay down on the huge hammock and gazed up at the stars we could see for miles into the cosmos. the patterns of the constellations were so very clear, and there just seemed to be way more stars. There were patterns within patterns of triangular and pentagons shapes… (this may have been influenced by my thinking at the time, as I have been looking at the golden section)
Hmmm…
At some point in the night we also saw a fire show, which again was beautiful, and very sexy too, in fact, yeah, I remember getting more and more horny! And these situations I always find tricky, because once I am in that frame of mind whilst tripping everything seems to be some kind of innuendo! And therefore seems more complicated!
I should now mention that this friend was more than a friend! However, we didn’t know each other so well, and nothing came of these feeling of lustfulness L … there will always be a next time!
Oh yeah. We played with glowsticks. Which was a lot of fun. They looked so cool. If I span one up in the air above my head it looked as though I could control the cosmos with my very finger.
Fire was also very nice
And woodland
Mud not so much
We smoked a few spliffs here and there, not that it made any difference.
Sleeping now, that was the worst bit. And physically impossible. And I wished I took a valli too! But I didn’t and so spent most of the night annoying my other half and walking about. In fact I remember something not so good, as he was falling asleep I got really sad, I felt like I was being left behind some place. All very silly.
So I shut my eyes and spoke to various things, and I learnt something, someone spoke to me and she was blue and beautiful, something I hadn’t realised for a long while, “don’t be anyone else,” “don’t run away anymore, you don’t need to run away… its all here”
I loved the dragonfly and she loved me. But I wont be doing it again in a hurry.
I have 2 tabs left. And I shall save them for a sunny day sometime in the future.
So yes. It lasted a total of about 24hrs, although I am not sure as after this sort of time we smoked some wonderful hash and other things and I fell into a deep sleep all the way home… in the way of the gear stick.
And my good friend, well he thought they were ok in bits but called it drag-on fly!

EVITA A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1997 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): **
"She had her moments," sings Che (Antonio Banderas) about legendary figure Eva Peron (Madonna). "She had some style." This perfectly describes Madonna's performance as EVITA. Madonna has "some" style in the role, but not much.
Perhaps the problem is that Madonna's performance is all style. She mugs for the camera, but her acting is rarely convincing and her songs are one disappointment after another. To be fair, the score by Andrew Lloyd Webber has only one decent song. He is no Rodgers and Hammerstein replacement. For the record, I happen to love musicals. I have talked to critics who did not like EVITA, and the flames they usually get claim the reason the critics did not like the film is because they really don't like musicals.
EVITA opens in a crowded movie theater in Buenos Aires. The year is 1952. Someone stops the projector, and the cinema manager (Gabriel Kraisman) goes out to tell the booing crowd some tragic news, "It is my sad duty to inform you that Eva Peron, spiritual leader of the nation, entered immortality this evening." This is followed by mass weeping.
The film then goes back in time to Evita's childhood. The story treats her as something between a saint and a demigod, and yet, she remains as much an enigma when the movie is over as when it began. I guess she was a liberal because in her weekly radio program she ask her admirers, "Tired of a government that no longer gives us the things we deserve?" I also learned that the military did not like her, and that is about it.
The cinematography by Darius Khondji is incredibly beautiful. He uses shadows and haze to film his subjects. Everything is bathed in warm earth tones. You may have seen his work before in SEVEN, THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, and STEALING BEAUTY. I predict he will get an Academy Award nomination for EVITA. The sets by Brian Morris (WUTHERING HEIGHTS and SABRINA) are also impressive.
The script is by Alan Parker and Oliver Stone and is based on the play "Evita" with lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The script has almost every word sung, which might have worked with stronger singers and better songs. It does work when they have musical crowd scenes of people marching with banners unfurled or tanks rolling and soldiers marching. The chorus is good, but the individual singers are not. Banderas has a rough singing voice, Madonna has a weak one, and Jonathan Pryce, as Juan Peron, has none at all. Pryce gives up. His "singing" is more like hummed words.
For the first ten or fifteen minutes, the show concentrates on the crowd scenes and the visuals. At this point, the film was enjoyable. And then Madonna makes her entrance and the whole film starts imploding.
As I sat in the theater bored stiff with only the images to admire, I kept thinking: Where is Oliver Stone when you need him? He was originally slated to direct the film, but through a set of circumstances the director role was given over to Alan Parker. Parker is perhaps best known for MISSISSIPPI BURNING, but my favorite picture of his was PINK FLOYD: THE WALL, which had all of the energy and singing values that EVITA does not. You can, however, see a similarity between the crowd scenes in EVITA and the classroom scenes in PINK FLOYD: THE WALL. Still, Stone, as much as I have disparaged him in some of his work, might have been able to breathe some much needed life into EVITA.
The scene I will always remember from the show is not one of the excellent crowd sequences, but the first meeting of Eva and Juan. As the actors sing each other's names, it is so false and so strange sounding musically, that I began to laugh out loud at them.
In mid-December when I was on my way to the press screening, my car broke down on the highway. My ever-reliable auto had not done that in twelve years. Maybe it was trying to tell me something. Maybe I should have listened.
EVITA runs way too long at 2:14. It is rated PG, but given the bloody images I was surprised it was not PG-13. I think some kids under nine will be scared. I can not recommend EVITA, but will generously give it ** for the stunning visuals. If I could have turned the sound off, I would have liked it better.
**** = A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show. Don't waste your money. 0 = Totally and painfully unbearable picture.
