Fuel … form Shanell
Fuel shows us the way out of the mess we’re in by explaining how to replace every drop of oil we now use, while creating green jobs and keeping our money here at home. The film never dwells on the negative, but instead shows us the easy solutions already within our reach. Director Josh Tickell takes us along for his 11 year journey around the world to find solutions to America’s addiction to oil. A shrinking economy, a failing auto industry, rampant unemployment, an out-of-control national debt, and an insatiable demand for energy weigh heavily on all of us.

Shanell note: Watch this if you can- we have had the technology to be green for over 100 years. This answers what is stopping us…..
Paras note: Listen carefully to what Woody Harrelson says… hell even Elmer Fudd has his say!

Why Parents Drink … from Michela
The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees was absent but had not phoned in sick one day. Needing to have an urgent problem with one of the main computers resolved, he dialled the employee’s home phone number and was greeted with a child’s whisper. ‘ Hello ? ‘

‘Is your daddy home?’ he asked.

‘ Yes ,’ whispered the small voice.
May I talk with him?’

The child whispered, ‘ No .’

Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, ‘Is your Mummy there?’ ‘ Yes ‘

‘May I talk with her?’ Again the small voice whispered, ‘ No ‘

Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, ‘Is anybody else there?’

‘ Yes , ‘ whispered the child, ‘ a policeman . ‘

Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee’s home, the boss asked, ‘May I speak with the policeman?’

‘ No, he’s busy , ‘ whispered the child.

‘Busy doing what?’

‘ Talking to Daddy and Mummy and the Fireman , ‘ came the whispered answer.

Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, ‘What is that noise?’

‘ A helicopter ‘ answered the whispering voice.

‘What is going on there?’ demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive. Again, whispering, the child answered,

‘ The search team just landed a helicopter ‘

Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss asked, ‘What are they searching for?’

Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle…

‘ ME . ‘

Folklore and History of Glass Beads and how we use them today

Folklore and History of Glass Beads and how we use them today

There are literally thousands of different types of glass beads, from gorgeous Murano-style
beads (these are Italian and can be expensive) to small seed beads used for apparel and home décor. Glass beadmaking has been around for many centuries, dating to as far back as 3,000 years ago, and are associated with the ancient Romans and Egyptians. Glass beads are used to make jewelry like pins, earrings and necklaces, as well as items like belts, handbags, clothes and jackets, and many other applications. Here is a brief folklore and history of glass beads: The Egyptians introduced new techniques to glass beads and beadmaking, such as mosaic work, and they used glass beads to replicate other precious stones like turquoise.

During the Mediterranean era, after the collapse of the ancient Egyptians, glass beadmaking was taken up by the Phoenicians (now known as Lebanon), using a technique called “Core”. The Etruscans also dabbled in glass beads during the same era as the ancient Phoenicians, combining polychrome glass beads with their gold beads. Next came the ancient Romans, who developed a large number of innovative techniques, including “Blow Pipe” to make lighter-weight glass beads. In Venice, Italy, the older techniques of ancient civilizations were once again brought back as mass-production of glass beads were on the rise. Glass beads now are used for jewelry making primarily, but also seen in apparel and accessories like belts and purses. For a stunning glass bead bracelet, you will need the following materials: approximately 15-20 millefiori glass chip beads (size should be between 4-7mm in diameter or length) and a length of memory wire or silk cording (if using memory wire, you will also need a claw clasp for the ends); to make this bracelet, simply string on the glass chip beads and secure the ends with the clasp. If you use silk cording, use knots between the beads and knot the ends for securing.

Among the many things revealed in this book are -
Why men focus on one thing at a time
