Hey Ruth!
-> 
->  hn> I think Anne only has one student that
->  hn> is hearing impaired this year..and I *think*
->  hn> he's now got the coclear implants...but I'm
->  hn> far from certain on that...Anne now has a
->  hn> device in her classroom that will "broadcast"
->  hn> straight to a headset that works with implants.
->  hn> Gee isn't technology great!
-> 
-> Quite advanced, even from a few years ago.  One of my room mates in
-> college had to go from an over the ear hearing aid to one that was
-> called a "body" hearing aid.  That thing had more whistles on it.....
-> I've lost touch with her, don't know if she would be able to use an
-> implant now but I suspect she would have loved it back when we were
-> students.
->
The advancements are incredible! Anne's headset 
broadcasts an FM signal that is just powerful enough
to work for her classroom! Year before last she
had a child who had no ears (literally) and all he
had was the implants!
 
-> -> ->  hn> heeevee) from one ship to another (or to shore
-> -> ->  hn> if needed) and was tied on one end to a "mxkeys
-> 
-> -> -> I've read of things like that but not ever seen it done "live".
-> 
-> ->  hn> Not having been in the navy that might explain it!
-> 
-> -> Partly so.  I understand that's the basic method they used to get a
-> -> cable across Niagara Falls for something years ago.
-> 
->  hn> I would not be surprised to find that
->  hn> to be so!
-> 
-> Back in the days before helicopters and fixed wing air craft, they had
-> to do something to get cable lines across the Falls.
-> 
I'd not want to be the one to try and
row a boat towing a cable across, but
I suppose that was one of the methods
back then.

-> ->  hn> LOTS of uses! It was VERY strong and
-> ->  hn> durable as well, we used it over and over
-> 
-> -> One place I wouldn't want to use it would be to suspend a cook pot 
over
-> -> a fire.  That could get a bit risky. (G)
-> 
->  hn> So true! We used a forked stick for that.
->  hn> Old scouting method. two forked sticks
->  hn> on either side of the fire with one straight one
->  hn> going between the Y forks...and one stick
->  hn> with forks going towards each other and
->  hn> hung on the cross stick with the cook pot
->  hn> hooked to the bottom V fork.
->  hn> I hope I explained that right.
-> 
-> I understand the first one, sort of do the 2nd.  I think with the 2nd
-> method, a stick would have to be lashed to the main one to get a 2nd V
-> fork.  At least that's what I think I recall reading years ago.
->
Not usually, you can cut a notch in the top so that it fits on
the crossbar, or if you're lucky you can find
a branch with forks going both directions. 
If you need to lash two together you cut
notches in both so they fit "into" each
other increasing the weight bearing ability.
 
-> -> Depends on how determined and how hungry for roast you are.  I 
wouldn't
-> -> under estimate Deborah's determination if she wanted the roast bad
-> -> enough.
-> 
->  hn> If you want it bad enough anything is possible.
->  hn> If I wanted a roast that badly...I'd get a stove
->  hn> with an oven (grin)
-> 
-> If we move in with her, she said she would.  Meanwhile, I used our oven
-> last night. I'd picked up a mix for tandoori chicken a while ago at
-> Fresh Market & decided to use it.  It was a spice mix, basically, mixed
-> with white vinegar, plain yogurt and olive oil.  We used skinned and
-> defatted breast pieces, bone in, with ribs.  Had to cut slashes in the
-> meat, dunk it in the mix and placed in another bowl.  Extra mix was
-> poured over it and set in the fridge for about 4-5 (directions said
-> 1-24) hours. Then we baked it in an improvised tangine type
-> arraingement.  We used a stoneware deep dish pie pan with a corning ware
-> pie plate inside that with the chicken on it.  Then a stoneware bowl was
-> inverted over the top (stuck a thermometer programmed to go off at 171
-> degrees in one piece) and put it in a 350 oven.  It took about an hour
-> but it was worth the wait. Next time I may try my own spice mix from an
-> Indian cook book.
->
Somewhere in amongst my 
cookbooks there are a couple
of Indian cookbooks, one is mostly
about curries and spice mixes.
Did your tandoori chicken come out
red?
 
-> ->  hn> As you may have noticed, it's really a
-> ->  hn> buyer's market out there right now!
-> 
-> -> I know; what I don't know is where we will be living after Steve
-> -> finishes seminary.  Don't want to buy a house where we won't be living.
-> 
->  hn> Do you get to pick, or do the churches line up
->  hn> and pick you? Or do you get "assigned" a
->  hn> position?
-> 
-> Steve sends his resume (and a video of him preaching, usually) to
-> churches looking for pastors. Then a search committee at each church
-> goes thru the resumes (and videos) received and makes a decision whether
-> or not to consider him. They  would then contact him and ask him to
-> visit, usually over a week end.  Saturday is spent meeting key personnel
-> during the day and the church body as a whole at a "meet, greet & eat"
-> (usually supper, followed by Q&A) that night.  He would then preach
-> Sunday morning service and the congregation would vote at a called
-> business meeting after the service.  If they vote to call him, he
-> decides if he will accept or not.  If he does, then details are worked
-> out with him about salary, etc.  Our church is going thru the proccess
-> right now & we've been members of other churches that have done so.
-> Since each Southern Baptist church is independent, pastors are not
-> assigned as they are in some denominations. Got all that?  Good.
-> 
-> 
We Methodists have a system where the
pastors are assigned, but each church has the 
ability to help with the selection process and has
rights to accept or reject the assignee.
chat with you soon!
