This was the funnest wedding I've ever attended. I knew it would be big because community activist, Debbie Mytels, is the most well connected woman I know. She almost ran for public office. I've known her since I was in knee pants working my first career job. Then got to know her better when I was in the pioneer Be The Change class that she instigated with Acterra.
She was marrying her longtime companion Thomas who, I gather, does some work as a magician and is involved with the Faithful Fools, thus the entourage of fools to liven up the ceremony.
At the opening of the ceremonies Debbie and Thomas got up together to make a statement about marriage equality and pledged to fight until this right was offered to all. The rest of the ceremony was so pagan and so political and so carnival that it is how I always thought a Gay wedding should be (but those are often overbearingly traditional wouldn't ya know).
The fools included a flickr friend whom I finally got to meet. He's the one in the mask. He had a speaking part as Uncle Bob commenting on Corinthian passage from the Bible and how he was mentioning his comments to his husband. (That's the passage where it says marriage is between a man and a woman.) He is a Reverend himself and is married to Seph, an organizing colleague of mine. Also in attendance is the Grim Reaper; I enjoyed having that reminder.
A string quartet played a lovely accompaniment and some pop songs ending with All You Need Is Love. We were instructed to look under our chairs where we found kazoos so we could join in.

I'm getting ready to etch new badges and I've changed the logo a little. I'm told that the logo looks more apropos for a bong than an amp. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
As I approached Wigan town centre I thought that I was looking at a church and tower. As I approached it became clear that it was two separate buildings so maybe a campanile? Neither religious nor that old as it's a replica of the tower at the now demolished Empress Mill.
Me, the minion fool, reading my book to my chinchilla and my doll of me. I dont think Biff, named for another of Chris Moore's books, was terribly interested. A shame really... Maybe his brother Josh would have liked it, would have at least come out of the cage.
www.stvincent.edu/summertheatre | Saint Vincent Summer Theatre opens its 49th season of professional theatre with the funny and delightful musical treat, Why Do Fools Fall in Love? written and created by Roger Bean (creator of previous summers’ smash hits Route 66 and The Marvelous Wonderettes), on Thursday, May 25, directed by Saint Vincent Producing Artistic Director Greggory Brandt.
They've managed to fool a whole of of the rest of us for a long time now. Pandit, Liddy and Fuld belong here.
Dick Fuld cried poverty and has had to sell a number of artworks from his collection including three Willem de Koonings.
The Fulds still own a sizable art collection and five homes, including a $21m Manhattan apartment.
The latest Fool offering is a neck-through version of the classic short-scale "student" guitar that players like John McLaughlin and Todd Rundgren adopted because it allowed them to stretch out for giant extended chords.
Soundin' all mean! I still need to add control labels.
I don't know of a better Rat variant than this. The board I use is from Build Your Own Clone. It has a six-way clipping switch. I socket the op-amp in a nice Mill-Max socket, so if you ever wanted to try out a different op-amp that's an option, but I built it with an LM308. Vintage LM301 op-amps also sound really good in this circuit.
These are the six clipping options.
The first three are standard Rat-style clip-to-ground:
#1 Standard symmetric Rat clipping from 2 x 1N4148 diodes.
#2 Turbo Rat clipping from 2 x red LEDs.
#3 Asymmetric (Boss-style) clipping from 1 x 1N4148 on one side and 2 x 1N4001 on the other side.
The second three are in the feedback loop like a Tube Screamer or a Boss OD-1. These give you a kind of Rat-Overdrive that's unique among Rat pedals, as far as I know.
#4 Symmetric clipping from 2 x 1N4148 diodes.
#5 Asymmetric (Boss-style) clipping from 1 x 1N4148 on one side and 2 x 1N4001 on the other side.
#6 MOSFET clipping from 2 x BS1`70 MOSFETs.
If all these options weren't enough, the LM308 depends on a compensation capacitor for its performance. The recommended capacitor is 30-33 pF in the original Rat circuit. The smaller the value, the wider the bandwidth of the op-amp. The higher the value, the more the bandwidth is compressed.
So I put a 33 pF monolithic ceramic capacitor in Position 1. Position 2 is a 56 pF ceramic capacitor. Position 3 is a 100 pF WIMA poly capacitor. Finally in Position 4, I used a 220 pF WIMA poly capacitor.
The effect as you run through them is that the sound is a tiny bit more squashed as you go up. Not a lot, but a little. It actually sounds a little bigger as it gets more squashed, or it seemed to. There's also some change in the midrange at the higher settings. You may never move it from its factory setting, but depending on the amp, the higher settings can sound pretty cool.
These steel enclosures are extremely hearty. They weigh about a pound and a half. I rivet a battery clip inside the bottom, so the battery will stay put nicely.
Optical bypass switching. Powder coated steel enclosure for durability. Nine volt DC or battery operation.
Not a full moon, missed it by a couple days due to the resurgence of winter.
But I got a new toy; and adapter to let me use my "old" Sigma 70-210mm Zoom Lens and my other lenses from my Minolta SLR on my Nikon D40. Now its back to relearning photography with no automatic anything. I like it!
A painting for Martin 'Odd Jobs' Hobbs, 60 today, beating me by a couple of months. The good thing about being an Old Fool is that you stop caring about it and just appreciate graduation from mere Young Idiot.

I will be glad to hear your opinion about my work in the comments below. please feel free to voice it
And where I feel a great emptiness is where I want to begin again. I am a fool who seeks himself in the dawnlight after the night has taken him. The bridge from sleep to waking is a long one, and the far shore is hidden in the mist of an apathetic mind.

An AC-130U gunship jettisons flares Aug. 20 over an area near Hurlburt Field, Fla. The flares are a countermeasure for heat-seeking missiles that may be fired at the aircraft during real world missions. The aircraft is from the 4th Special Operations Squadron.
