There is a new site that has been launched called http://asamom.org
When I heard this concept on a radio show this week I was blown away – the idea was so simple and yet hadn’t been put into focus. AsAMom.org provides a place where moms could come together, discuss what was on their minds, ask tough questions and get the answers they might not have themselves or access to. A place where mothers could shed the feeling they were alone or closested because they believed what they believed.
This is incredible – powerful – and uplifting. If you aren’t politically bolted to the left of our social belief system (or even if you are) it’s a good idea to remain connected and empowered. Get driven and make a difference.
This is a stunning assessment by a gent which contrasts the forecasts the potential benefits of our ‘Recovery Plan’ and what actually happened when the recovery plan was instituted. With this estimating prowess, is it any wonder that we have such conflict about the up coming plans from our administration’s majority party.
Click the link above for more – it’s crazy silly. Wake up and get the ignorance out… Thanks
There are always lots of questions about carving gouges and their sizes/profiles – here is a catalog from Stubai (available at Klingspors in Raleigh) that are very well made. http://stubai.com/pdfs/stubai-de-schnitz-poliert-55.pdf
Either article should show the profiles adequately to confuse the heck out of you and send your head spinning (or give you an idea of what you’d need to look at the next time you’re buying carving tools).
To all – I apologize for not catching the issues with the picture galleries until now. It seems that somehow the pictures all ‘went away’ – for reasons I cannot fully explain.
If you came here looking for pics of the Raleigh wood carving show or the wood working show, please visit www.raleighcarving.com.
That site has the 2009 show for carving and woodworking, along with past carving shows going back years. Thanks for your patience and never hesitate to leave a comment if something doesn’t look quite right on either site ( crisrogers.com or raleighcarving.com)
