Hi Hap,

->  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.

 hn> The advancements are incredible! Anne's headset
 hn> broadcasts an FM signal that is just powerful enough
 hn> to work for her classroom! Year before last she
 hn> had a child who had no ears (literally) and all he
 hn> had was the implants!

And I understand that the former Miss America, Heather Whitehead
(whatever her married name is) has them so she can hear her boys.  She
has a couple of boys, about 8 & 6 or so years old.

-> Back in the days before helicopters and fixed wing air craft, they had
-> to do something to get cable lines across the Falls.

 hn> I'd not want to be the one to try and
 hn> row a boat towing a cable across, but
 hn> I suppose that was one of the methods
 hn> back then.

Small craft in the waters in that area are not a smart idea.

->  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.

 hn> Not usually, you can cut a notch in the top so that it fits on
 hn> the crossbar, or if you're lucky you can find
 hn> a branch with forks going both directions.
 hn> If you need to lash two together you cut
 hn> notches in both so they fit "into" each
 hn> other increasing the weight bearing ability.

As long as the pot is held above the fire, that's all that counts in the
long run.  Just hope the boys don't stir too vigorously. (G)

->  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)
 hn> ->
-> 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

 hn> Somewhere in amongst my
 hn> cookbooks there are a couple
 hn> of Indian cookbooks, one is mostly
 hn> about curries and spice mixes.
 hn> Did your tandoori chicken come out
 hn> red?

No, this mix didn't have any food coloring in it.  That's one of the
reasons I bought it.  By process of elimination, we figured out that I
got it at Fresh Market--no store label mainly as Brighter Day usually
puts one on every thing they sell.

-> -> 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.

 hn> We Methodists have a system where the
