Chaos and Insects
If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.

Needle Tatting Tutorial Uploaded !
It was so hard getting this project off the ground. My Windows Movie Maker maker and I were no longer married, so I had to figure out how to do it myself :-/ and I had to wait until the mood hit (which is the way I've been operating since we split). Anyway, I figured out how to import, drag and drop, add fades, titles, captions and music (which disappeared when I added narration...arrrgh !) and voila ! My second tute in two years. Now that I know how, there will be more to come :-) I prefer making photo sequences because if I screw up while in the middle of a project, I would have to start another one and work up to that point just to re-record the video. Maybe I'll use video with a quick project. However, I have a very vocal parrot who tends to dominate the airwaves whenever he senses something important is going on (aarrgh !). I hope you like the video (don't know why it looks so out of focus...the photos were crystal clear when I was working with them...maybe compression altered them...oh, well).

Indians own naming rights to Mon River
By Scott Beveridge,
FREDERICKTOWN, Pa. - Judging from the massive spring landslide that buried a road along the Monongahela River near Fredericktown, the Indians who once roamed the region were onto something when they called it the "river with falling-in banks."
No one knows for sure, though, which European settler stood along its banks and proclaimed it should be named the Monongahela, said historian John K. Folmar of nearby California.
"It was just used by the first white guys who heard them talking. There was no unification as to how to spell it," said Folmar, a retired history professor at California University of Pennsylvania.
Journalists who covered the May 13 landslide at a steep cliff near the river that put 1,700 tons of rock, mud and debris on Route 88 were reminded of what they thought was a legend about the naming of the river.
But it turns out to be a true story about Indians using the word to describe a river with unstable banks, according to Folmar's research.
There is a mention in the 1937 book, "The Monongahela: The River and its Region" by Richard T. Wiley about a Moravian missionary named John Heckewelder hearing the word while laboring among the Delawares, Folmar said. Heckewelder collected in the 1760s the names the Delawares had given to Pennsylvania's rivers, and spelled Monongahela Menaungehilla.
It wasn't until the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on July 26, 1786, published a story about the naming rights to the river that a reputable source linked the name to the American Indians, Folmar said.
That story indicated the word had signified in some of the Indian languages a river with "falling-in banks," or a stream with collapsing or mouldering banks, Folmar said.
There were still as many as 20 different spellings for the river name, and the county around Morgantown, W.Va., calls itself Monongalia to this day.
Of course the river didn't look as it does today, either, before it was transformed in the 20th century into a network of locks and dams with pools maintaining a navigation depth of at least 9 feet. People could walk across the Mon during drought season, including one in the 1860s when that was possible to do that between Pittsburgh and its South Side, Folmar said.
And, he said, there were no tribes native to Southwestern Pennsylvania living in the area when the European settlers began to arrive in the 1700s. It remains a great mystery as to why the native mound builders disappeared, leaving behind vast archaeological evidence of their primitive settlements, Folmar said.
"It would have been a different history had there been Indians in the valley when the white folk arrived here," Folmar said.
Those tribes had been gone for hundreds of years. The natives who did show up had moved in from the West to take part in frontier battles with the French as the New World was expanding, Folmar said.
He then joked that the river's name would be appropriate to describe the blight the Mon Valley has experienced in the decades since the steel industry collapsed in the 1980s.
"The valley is crumbling in more ways than one," he said.
(This story first appeared in the Observer-Reporter May 23, 2011)

A dog's life on a 19th Century farm

Historic Farm is threatened by longwall mining
By Scott Beveridge
AVELLA ? Dogs used to be good for something other than companionship or fetching the morning newspaper.
Those owned by 19th Century farmer Isaac Manchester earned their table scraps by churning butter while running on a spinning wheel contraption beside the summer kitchen.
?You just put some food in front of it, and ?,? said Manchester?s great-great-great-great-great granddaughter Marcie Pagliarulo, who now owns the farm in Independence Township, Pa.
The churn, along with a treasure trove of antique household and farming artifacts, have survived here thanks to the preservation efforts of generations of Manchesters.
The property likely holds the only existing, intact records of two centuries of farm life in the United States, preservationists said today, when the Manchester farm has become threatened by industrial development.
The Washington, D.C.-based National Trust for Historic Preservation today placed the farm on its annual list of America?s most endangered historic places because a coal operator has plans to open a longwall mine in the area. The method of deep mining proposed by Alliance Resource Partners of Tulsa, Okla., usually results in immediate subsidence damage to houses and private water supplies.
The trust is hoping pressure from its powerful influence will convince the company and Pennsylvania?s mining regulators to find alternatives to damaging the 400-acre farm.
?It?s a very important property for America as well as my family,? Pagliarulo said.
She has spent the past five years since she and her husband, Joe, bought the place cataloging thousands of artifacts stored in their stately Georgian manor house and in the farm?s outbuildings, which include a large barn, whisky distillery, tool shed and carriage house.
?I feel like I?ve gotten to know all of my ancestors,? she said.
Manchester was an English immigrant when he first settled in Newport, RI. He stopped en route to scout land in the Midwest at the Independence Township property when it was a frontier fort owned by Samuel Teeter. Upon his return in 1797 he decided to purchase the property on which he first built the distillery and then the brick house, beginning in 1805.
The Washington County farmhouse is unusual to southwestern Pennsylvania because it was constructed in a style common to Newport, complete with a East Coast widow?s walk on the roof. The barn, too, has details such as a large thrashing room common to New England.
?It?s like a time capsule,? Joe Pagliarulo said.
From today?s Observer-Reporter newspaper in Washington, Pa.:
The National Trust for Historic Preservation pleaded with a coal operator Wednesday to mine in the room-and-pillar method to protect a more than 200-year-old Washington County farm from subsidence damage.
Walter Gallas, a regional director of the trust, also urged supporters to send letters to state lawmakers and Gov. Tom Corbett asking them to take measures to ensure the Isaac Manchester Farm is not damaged by longwall mining.
UPDATE: The coal company announced June 17, 2011, it will not mine in the longwall method under the 400-acre farm, a new release indicated. Alliance Resource spokesman Lee Landon said the company would mine in the conventional, or room-and-pillar approach, to remove the coal reserves it owns there.
(The newspaper has two other stories on the farm on its website)

A city folks' adventure along the old National Pike
By Scott Beveridge
A restored National Pike tollhouse in LaVale, Md., survives today as a lonely reminder of America's western migration that changed the world. (Scott Beveridge photo)
ALONG THE OLD NATIONAL PIKE, Md. ? A clerk at Billie?s Gas and Grub in the Allegany Mountains immediately takes me for one of those lost city folks when I approach her counter today with a bottle of water in hand asking for directions.
?Yeeeesss. Where are you goin??? she says when I inquire if the narrow Maryland Route 144 passing her tiny store in Flintstone is part of the old National Road.
?Washington, D.C.,? I respond. ?How long does it take to get there?? I ask.
She replies that it?s a 2 � hour drive if I hop onto the highway about 10 miles down the road.
?That way you?ll get to see some of the old countryside, blah, blah, blah,? she says, rolling her eyes.
She?s seen my kind before, a nostalgic motorist who sometimes prefers to take the back road to see America from a lost era. I?m slowing down on vacation this week and do not want to compete for a part of the four-lane asphalt with tractor-trailers and rude aggressive drivers to spend some time in the nation's capitol. I?m on this two-lane to experience historic stretches of the National Pike, otherwise known as the National Road, Cumberland Road and Route 40, while this, the nation?s oldest interstate marks its 200th birthday.
The federal government laid out this former turnpike in 1811, and then Congress argued for more than two decades over whether or not the United States should be in the business of building roads. Eventually the tasks of collecting tolls and maintaining this road were turned over to the states as the road expanded into Pennsylvania and beyond during the America?s Western Expansion.
That story is retold at the perfectly preserved LaVale Toll House, which collected in 1833 nearly $10,000 in travelers? fees during its first year in operation in Maryland. That?s an amazing sum that speaks to the volume of people this road served then, considering the tollhouse keeper charged just 3 cents for every led horse, mull or ass that passed through its gate.
The steep of portions of this old trail over the Appalachians and its dangerous switch backs survive as testaments to the difficulties pioneers faced in forging new territories.
I wonder if most drivers today wearing blindfolds on the nearby modern highways know what they are missing on this scenic byway.
I am traveling the nearly 100-mile stretch between Uniontown, Pa., and Hancock, Md., and pass many stone or brick Colonial houses that once served as inns for stagecoach passengers and cattle drovers in need of rest. Women would enter these old houses through one door leading to the parlor while the men walked through another into the tavern. Guests were charged by the candle inch for the light they burned at night, and they then slept like spoons to compete for the space on the beds.
East of Uniontown I pass a summit with a roadside sign identifying it as Negro Mountain and wonder how such a racist name could still exist in modern times.
East of Uniontown I pass a summit with a roadside sign identifying it as Negro Mountain and wonder how such a racist name could still exist in modern times.
Down the road I stop along a curve in downtown Frostburg, Md., to take a peek inside the historic three-story Failinger?s Hotel Gunter. Its brick fa�ade is wearing patriotic bunting two doors down from an old storefront with boarded up windows. The hotel lobby boasts a grand antique wooden stairway oddly paired with a modern hotel registry counter. This town, at its face, is struggling for survival like most between here and there that have been overshadowed by modern highways.
That?s more obvious further east in sleepy Hancock, Md., where it costs just 25 cents to park a car for an hour on Main Street. This downtown is heavily dressed in the Southern Cross, two centuries after that flag was overtaken by the stars and stripes at the end of the Civil War. There is a near-empty store here named Redneck Mall that sells a tacky bikini made with material matching the Confederate flag.
A block away the interior walls of Hancock Town Tavern are lined with too man shot-down animal trophies to count. Their mounted heads in such forms as a zebra, moose and horned wild boar hog are perched near four breathing and seated bar patrons who cannot seem to quit staring me down.
At this point I realize I?m an out-of-place tourist from the North who needs to redirect myself back to the fast lanes of travel.

Commercials, lately - how gross can you get?
By Denise Hart
I admit, I?m just back in the swim of the commercial sea, after having been too poor and too proud to have cable for the past six years.
I was shocked at how easily I fell into the reality TV pit - I?m finding that there is practically no show too stupid or banal to mesmerize me: Real Housewives of Virtually Any Town, ?Hoarders? (although I could not watch the one where the guy bred the pet rats and there were literally thousands in the house), ?Top Chef? (kind of an upper echelon reality, so there!), even, God help me, those Bethenny shows where it?s really just one long episodic swilling of her low-cal tequila cocktail mix.
What can I say - I love her baby?s Dominican nanny, Gina - Gina is sick.
I choose to watch those silly shows - I find them funny and �ber relaxing.
OK, almost coma-inducing. But the commercials are so disgusting I can hardly sit them out. The worst offenders, for me, are the toilet paper and floor-wipe categories.
I?ve never liked the commercials where the bears poop in the woods and leave their used (though amazingly soft!) toilet paper behind. Although I see recently they?ve been upgraded to a house.
Somehow, the new toilet paper issue has become the pieces of lint from the paper that might stick to your ass after wiping. I?ve never had that particular problem. I?ve almost always lived in an old house with bad plumbing that could barely handle paper at all.
So it?s always been slick paper Scott for me?no lint, no butthole mess.
But now, we?ve got to look at the baby bear?s bum when he comes out of the bathroom. Yep, lint and pieces of paper all over it. Gah!
There?s another t.p. product where (although I wouldn?t swear to this) there are some middle class women having tea and this issue comes up. The tagline is ?Enjoy the Go.? Gag.
The floor-wipe commercials are not the only ones guilty of this putrid sell move: close-ups of dirt and microbes that they wipe up from our floors.
Toothpaste and mouthwashes use this tool, too; but somehow the floor-wipe ones get to me more.
I don?t mind the microbes so much, actually, because they?re more like little cartoons.
But the dirt and hair and lint shots, to quote Roseanne Roseannadanna, ?Mek me SICK!? (I just realized hardly anyone recalls Ms. Roseannadanna anymore. In addition to having a sensitive gag reflex, I?m getting old.)
There are cuter ones now, showing dirt and mud characters all dolled up waiting for a date only to connect with the soft attractions of the floor-wipe, but damned if they don?t show the close-up dirt shots too. For some reason, the same one that makes me incapable of emptying the sink drainer thing myself (that?s Paul?s job), this kind of thing makes me want to hurl.
Oh, there are other puke-inducing ads out there.
One is a cartoon of babies trying to get their diapers full?the fullest one wins.
And silly ones?the one advertising bikini razors that has women striding by differently shaped bushes makes me laugh.
I am aware that I really need to turn off the sound or walk away?but I?m often in some Bravo induced state of watching.
Watching.
Watching.
Watching other people live their lives.
Watching these damn commercials.
Somebody throw me a line! I need help, I think.
(Denise Hart is a writer in Minnesota.)

The sky ISN'T falling
By Scott Beveridge
Sometime during eighth-grade in 1969 I heard students saying the world was supposed to come to an end the approaching summer.
I was a gullible 13 year old kid from a poor neighborhood when the rumor circulated at Rostraver (Pa.) Junior High School, and the story probably had something to do with the crazy musings of serial killer Charles Manson. He had predicted to his followers that Helter Skelter would begin Aug. 8, 1969, and ordered his followers to carry out the Tate-LaBianca murders that day to get the end-of-the-world ball rolling.
So after hearing the prediction in school I went home to warn my family.
"Oh don't worry about that. The sky has been falling since the beginning of time," my mother said. "The world was supposed to end when I was in high school, too, and we're still here," she added.
Thank God some of us had intelligent, rational thinking mothers.
I say this on the day of the rapture proclaimed by a California minister, when some folks have been praying for forgiveness as a spate of earthquakes were to begin at 6 p.m. and bring with them doomsday. According to the 89-year-old prophet who started this apocalyptic nonsense, Harold Camping, nonbelievers were to survive for a few days longer to suffer any number of plagues.
Well as I write this, the Associated Press reported it's beyond 6 p.m. in New Zealand and the world isn't ending.
Thank God, too, for clever journalists.

Getting used to seasonal shifts in daylight hours has been one of the hardest things to adapt to since moving to Europe. Although I spent many years in New Zealand when I was young, I lived near the equator long enough to develop a preference for daylight hours of equal length all year round. Still, being dragged comatose around the countryside by the dog early every morning means I'm still guaranteed to get a small dose of sunshine every day.

Time to vote on "Fashion Through the Ages"
There is still time left to vote for your favorite beadwoven creation in the Etsy Beadweavers' monthly challenge. This month's challenge was selected by our previous winner, Patrizia of Triz Designs. Patrizia has challenged our members to "Choose a fashion style from any period of fashion and design a piece to fit that chosen style/period." We do this for fun and to show the world the extent of our creativity...the prize is just the honor of selecting the next month's challenge. Please take a minute or two to look at all the wonderful designs, created entirely by hand and with original designs (using patterns from other designers is not allowed), and vote for your favorite. This month I entered a piece (#32) entitled "Metropolis", which plays on some of the design elements popular during the Art Deco period.

Freeform Brick Stitch Bracelet
Well, folks, here I am again at long last...and I'm patting myself on the back for finally finishing something new in beadweaving. I've been on a tatting kick and in another failed attempt to enter something in the latest EBW Challenge, I managed to create a new bracelet. However, I missed the deadline because I got sidetracked making a "Conantree" (Christmas tree decorated with CONAN on TBS themed decorations). I am happy though, that I did make something new. It's been a year and a half since my world fell out from under me and I lost my drive to bead. Slowly but surely, I'm working to gain it back...challenges and swaps are helping the process.
I saw a freeform brick design somewhere and thought I would give it a try. My attempt was supposed to reflect the lyrics to the "Sounds of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel, which was the December theme for the Etsy Beadweavers's challenge. I chose a line from the second verse:
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
....and created my design using various greys with a "stab" of neon pink. Freeform brick really suits my design style, much moreso than peyote, however, like all freeform, it has a mind of its own, thus adding to the unknown time frame for completion. I followed my own rule for freeform, though, which is: never "unbead" anything...in other words, whatever you have already stitched must stay, you have to use it. Keeps you thinking about creative ways to cure something you don't like about your beadwork. This bracelet is going into the next Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery show next week. If it doesn't sell there, I'm listing in my Etsy shop in January.

Blue agate necklace
Better photos will be coming shortly. This is a necklace that I did a couple years ago. I originally used a purchased glass leaf pendant, but everyone who saw it in my art gallery said "oooohh !!! did you make the pendant ?" After saying "no" one too many times, I vowed never to make another artist's or commercially made pendant the focal point of a piece of beadwork. It took me two years to come up with an idea that I like for another pendant.
I purchased the agate slab while on vacation in Bar Harbor, Maine the summer before, and at the last minute before gallery jury day, I decided it would work perfectly with the unadorned necklace. Feverishly working all day yesterday, going out for a few hours with a friend then staying up until 1:30 am, it was ready to visit the gallery this morning. I haven't checked yet, but I hope it was accepted and will find a new home shortly !
