BG45 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 At Mass, i think some pholks were missing all of Father's homily...it was about hospitality and charity to others...over half the congregation at some point seemed to be turning their heads to glare at a (softly) crying infant.

truthfinder Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 That's unfortunate. My experience has been different with similar homilies. They turn, for a couple weeks, from said glaring to cooing over and praising any bad behaviour thinkable - that probably wasn't father's intention either.

BG45 Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Probably not, but it's a nice reaction anyhow! :) --- Not entirely happy with my survey instrument and some of my IVs/DVs, but just sent chapters 1-3 to my chair for review. Hopefully her constructive criticism will hit on what I just seem to be missing to make this quality work. Either way, time to prep classes now that the 77 pages of material is sent out for review and revision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthephysicist Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Visited a Peruvian store today. They had alpaca fur (from alpacas raised in Peru) and made little stuffed alpacas to sell. They were so fluffy and amazing. My friend took pictures and they will be forthcoming. I just thought you would enjoy it because they are so similar to llamas.

arfink Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Alpacas are cool. I got to pet one when I was on vacation. Super soft. :cloud9: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Truthfinder, it depends. Usually 140-200 is an average range...one in the department was over 1,000 pages, but it was a multi-year longitudinal qualitative study of a group. Brian, that is awesome!!! Did you buy yourself a stuffed alpaca in addition to the pics? :) Arfink, I am so jealous!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I'm jealous too!!!! ARFink, can you draw us what it feels like to pet an alpaca? I'd be curious how you might convey that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Sounds like an interesting project for Arfink to try to draw! I was on Cracked when they mentioned something and then I ran the numbers myself to double check: In Dredd 3D the dystopian Mega-City One has a population of 800 million and "17 thousand crimes reported daily". By contrast, the United States of American in 2011 has a population of 300 million and on average approximately 28 thousand crimes reported daily. This means that the reported crime rate per thousand people per year in the USA is 4 times greater than Mega-City One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG45 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Less than 24 hours in Rio and there's already been a bomb scare, a mobbing of the Popemobile, and police using water cannons on angry protesters. Continued prayers for everyone at WYD and Pope Francis, in a nation that has had more than 1.2 MILLION murders in the past 30 years.

truthfinder Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hmmm, I wonder if they told him the sedia gestoria cost less than any car, used no fuel, and would allow unfettered access to the people he'd go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I think he would use it ONLY if he was one of the people CARRYING it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Maybe he would consider a bicycle taxi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
