If there are any of you planning to come to Birthday, and I hope there are many. The Exit number printed in the sage for I-15 travelers, 364, is WRONG. That is the exit to Brigham City where Jeff and Linda live. The Exit you wish to take is 360. I-15 willard Bay Exit 360. 360. Exit 36-zero, 360. Three-six- oh! Alles Klar? Thank your feet.

Be very careful with Kohler. His book is cheap and easy to get but that does not a good book make. He wrote that book a long time ago (my book is in the other room, or I could give you a copyright date). Alot of new stuff has been learned about how clothing was constructed. Please don't follow any of his "patterns" as they don't work. They are also not to scale, so I've heard, i.e. if you increase the size of the line drawing to human size, everything is out of kilter. My favorite Kohler oops is his treatment of the bliaut or Norman gown. He thinks that "pouches" were sewn into a seperate bodice to hold the ladies breasts. Can you even imagine how funny that would look? Peacock is another one that is easy to find and cheap. Unfortunately, his line drawings are drawn out of his head. Some of them are sort of correct (medievalish) and some are more imaginary. He does give general trends in fashion. Look for Milia Davenport's book "The Book of Costume". It can be found in most good reference libraries, and Utah State has one as does Weber, if my memory serves. Excellent book, good pictures.

During the heat of the space race in the 1960s, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) realised that astronauts would have to be able to record certain things while performing their duties and so it needed a writing utensil capable of writing in the zero gravity confines of its space capsules. Of course, a normal pen will not work since they are all gravity fed, but the design specification called for a pen to be used. After considerable research and development spanning over two years, the working zero-g Astronaut Pen was developed at a cost of approximately $1 million U.S. (in 1960's dollars !!). The initial production run was fifty pens. The Soviet Union, faced with the same problem, issued pencils. ________________________________________________________________ Get secure free e-mail that you don't need Web access to use from Juno, the world's second largest online service.

They have made many millions of dollars through production of pens that write beutifully for a long time, even when used upside down or on vertical surfaces. The 'astronaut pen' has been very profitable, adding much to our economy. And that doesn't even take into account the knowledge we gained concerning fluid flow in zero-g. Now I am not a rabid capitalist, but one theory of mine is that basic research ALWAYS pays. Even if we don't imediately understand why, or how.

I looked at all the people and grumbled to myself. I would be in here forever, and I just had so much to do. Christmas was beginning to become such a drag. I kinda wished that I could just sleep through Christmas. But I hurried the best I could, through all the people to the toy department. Once again I kind of mumbled to myself at the prices of all these toys. And wondered if the grandkids would even play with them. I found myself in the doll aisle. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a little boy about 5 holding a lovely doll. He kept touching her hair and he held her so gently. I could not seem to help myself. I just kept looking over at the little boy and wondered who the doll was for. I watched him turn to a woman, and he called his aunt by name and said, "Are you sure I don't have enough money?" She replied a bit impatiently, "You know that you don't have enough money for it." The aunt told the little boy not to go anywhere that she had to go get some other things and would be back in a few minutes. And then she left the aisle. The boy continued to hold the doll. After a bit I asked the boy who the doll was for. He said, "It's the doll my sister wanted so badly for Christmas. She just knew that Santa would bring it." I told him that maybe Santa was going to bring it. He said "No, Santa can't go where my sister is, I have to give the doll to my Momma to take to her. I asked him where his sister was. He looked at me with the saddest eyes and said "She has gone to be with Jesus. My Daddy says that Momma is going to have to go to be with her." My heart nearly stopped beating. Then the boy looked at me again and said, "I told my Daddy to tell Momma not to go yet. I told him to tell her to wait till I got back from the store." Then he ask me if I wanted to see his picture. I told him I would love to. He pulled out some pictures he'd had taken in the photobooth at the front of the store. He said "I want my Momma to take this with her so she don't ever forget me. I love my my momma so very much, and I wish she did not have to leave me. But Daddy says she needs to be with my sister." I saw that the little boy had lowered his head and had grown so very quiet. While he was not looking I reached into my purse and pulled out a hand full of bills. I ask the little boy, "Shall we count that money one more time?" He grew excited and said , "Yes, I just know it has to be enough" So I slipped my money in with his and we began to count it. And, of course, it was plenty for the doll. He softly said, "Thank you Jesus, for giving me enough money." Then the boy said "I just asked Jesus to give me enough money to buy this doll so Momma can take it with her to give to my sister. And he heard my prayer. I wanted to ask him for enough to buy my Momma a white rose, but I didn't, but he gave me enough to buy the doll and a rose for my Momma. She loves white roses so very, very much" In a few minutes the aunt came back, and I wheeled my cart away. I could not keep from thinking about the little boy as I finished my shopping in a totally different spirit than when I had started. And I kept remembering a story I had seen in the newspaper several days earlier about a drunk driver hitting a car and killing a little girl and the Mother was in serious condition. The family was deciding on whether to remove the life support. Now surely this little boy did not belong with that story. Two days later I read in the paper where the family had disconnected the life support and the young woman had died. I could not forget the little boy and just kept wondering if the two were somehow connected. Later that day, I could not help myself. I went out and bought some white roses and took them to the funeral home where the young woman was. And there she was holding a lovely white rose, the beautiful doll, and the picture of the little boy in the store. I left there in tears, my life changed forever. The love that little boy had for his little sister and his mother was overwhelming. And in a split second a drunk driver had ripped the life of that little boy to pieces.

It's already been here. Mulder, I hope you know what you're doing. Look, Scully, just like the other homes: Douglas fir, truncated, mounted, transformed into a shrine; halls decked with boughs of holly; stockings hung by the chimney, with care. You really think someone's been here? Someone ... or something. Mulder, over here-it's a fruitcake. Don't touch it! Those things can be lethal. It's O.K. There's a note attached: "Gonna find out who's naughty and nice." It's judging them, Scully. It's making a list. Who? What are you talking about? Ancient mythology tells of an obese humanoid entity who could travel at great speed in a craft powered by antlered servants. Once each year near the winter solstice, this creature is said to descend from the heavens to reward its followers and punish disbelievers with jagged chunks of anthracite. But that's legend, Mulder-a story told by parents to frighten children. Surely you don't believe it? Something was here tonight, Scully. Check out the bite marks on this gingerbread man. Whatever tore through this plate of cookies was massive-and in a hurry. It left crumbs everywhere. And look, Mulder,this milk glass has been completely drained. It gorged itself, Scully. It fed without remorse. But why would they leave it milk and cookies? Appeasement. Tonight is the Eve, and nothing can stop its wilding. But if this thing does exist, how did it get in? The doors and windows were locked. There's no sign of forced entry. Unless I miss my guess, it came through the fireplace. Wait a minute, Mulder. If you're saying some huge creature landed on the roof and came down this chimney, you're crazy. The flue is barely six inches wide. Nothing could get down there. But what if it could alter its shape, move in all directions at once? You mean, like a bowl full of jelly? Exactly. Scully, I've never told anyone this, but when I was a child my home was visited. I saw the creature. It had long white shanks of fur surrounding its ruddy, misshapen head. Its bloated torso was red and white. I'll never forget the horror. I turned away, and when I looked back it had somehow taken on the facial features of my father. Impossible. I know what I saw. And that night it read my mind. It brought me a Mr. Potato Head, Scully. It knew that I wanted a Mr. Potato Head! I'm sorry, Mulder, but you're asking me to disregard the laws of physics. You want me to believe in some supernatural being who soars across the skies and brings gifts to good little girls and boys. Listen to what you're saying. Do you understand the repercussions? If this gets out, they'll close the X-files. Scully, listen to me: It knows when you're sleeping. It knows when you're awake. But we have no proof. Last year, on this exact date, SETI radio telescopes detected bogeys in the airspace over twenty-seven states. The White House ordered a Condition Red. But that was a meteor shower. Officially. Two days ago, eight prized Scandinavian reindeer vanished from the National Zoo, in Washington, D.C. Nobody-not even the zookeeper-was told about it. The government doesn't want people to know about Project Kringle. They fear that if this thing is proved to exist the public will stop spending half its annual income in a holiday shopping frenzy. Retail markets will collapse. Scully, they cannot let the world believe this creature lives. There's too much at stake. They'll do whatever it takes to insure another silent night. Mulder, I- Sh-h-h. Do you hear what I hear? On the roof. It sounds like ... a clatter. The truth is up there. Let's see what's the matter. --part0_914386489_boundary-- --------- End forwarded message ---------- ________________________________________________________________ Get secure free e-mail that you don't need Web access to use from Juno, the world's second largest online service.

I can't get an answer anywhere. If you know where she is, or see her, tell me how to get ahold of her or tell her to get ahold of me, thank you.

Beach) Subject: Re: (cdc) Just a question Date: 31 Dec 1998 14:12:56 -0700 What I want do with costuming is to be as period as reasonable (limited by cost, availability of fabrics, and so forth) or looks good close up. As far as patterns go, I can figure one out based on a picture. I just bought two more book from Barns and Nobles called "Medieval Costume in England and France: the 13th, 14th, and 15th Centuries" by Mary G Houston and Authentic Everyday Dress of the Renaissance: All 154 Plates from the 'Trachtenbuch' " by Christoph Weiditz. What I like about these two books is that they have pictures of both court garb and everyday garb. I'm thinking about focusing on the latter half of the 15th century. There is a lot of different possibilities. As for culture, my persona is a well educated Scottish woman although I'm not sure what other cultures influences there clothing. I think we're planning in going to Coronation, but when is it?
