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.
Thanks
Story for September Job Loss Figures
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.

You can also look at the Woodcraft imported brand Pfiel (swiss made) gouges and chisels here:

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).
This is a killer rendition of Cornbread that comes from the Beacon Theater show just a few days ago.
Found a great little WP app for the iPhone today – it’s goingto make blogging a heck of a lot more conveinent.

All you can say is – Damn
Paint, sponges, glaze – oh my! We started with the following which was boring and outdated – and boring. And WHITE – oh my…
We now have our little slice of heaven – sore but happy.
Not too shabby… 
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.
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)
Thank you!
