How baseballs are made - first time cameras allowed in the factory!

I always wondered how they sewed up the seams on a baseball.

This act was performed in 1944.
It is incredible!! These Ross Sisters are amazing.
How could all 3 of them be able to do this???

During the first 50 seconds, they are singing,
but next, what they are doing, is almost impossible...

The World is Mine

Today, upon a bus, I saw a very beautiful woman
And wished I were as beautiful.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and wore a crutch.
But as she passed, she passed a smile.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two legs; the world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candy.
The lad who sold it had such charm.
I talked with him, he seemed so glad.
If I were late, it'd do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me,
"I thank you,
you've been so kind.
It's nice to talk with folks like you.
You see," he said, "I'm blind."
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two eyes; the world is mine.

Later while walking down the street,
I saw a child I knew.
He stood and watched the others play,
but he did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment and then I said,
"Why don't you join them dear?"
He looked ahead without a word.
I forgot, he couldn't hear.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two ears; the world is mine.

With feet to take me where I'd go..
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear what I'd know.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine.

Give the gift of love. It never comes back empty !

here's a write up with a couple of photos in case you don't know who the 7 architects were who spoke at the ceremony and who were instrumental in the design and development of GZ

My poor DH is a bit drained today, probably from the shingles medication. He tried to do some gardening and only lasted about 15 minutes. I took the shovel in hand and quit after 10 minutes, rofl my back gave out. It will eventually all get done but I am not the most patient person when work has to be done. :o

We had a lovely dinner, turkey cutlets, oven-roasted potatoes and creamed spinach :Yum: , now DH is a happy camper.

Sorry you and Alan were not having the best Canada Day Carole. How long does Alan have to take the medication for? Take care of youself too. Maybe hire someone to do the grunt work so you don't injure your back further :ok:

I ended up mowing the grass and putting all the new plants inside the garage before the :rn: started late this afternoon. Good thing because very near by it was hailing again as a storm cell went through this area. Tomorrow it will be 21C/70F but more :rn: showers and still more for Wednesday and cloudy for all day Thursday.

Lily the Black Bear – UPDATE May 21, 2012

Braveheart Finds a Mate


Posted Image :clk:
Braveheart and her mate - May 21, 2012

We’re not sure who he is yet, but this 3-4 year-old male trusted us enough to ignore us and mate repeatedly with Braveheart. Braveheart (age 10) accepted him in the absence of her usual mate, One-eyed Jack, and actually pursued him. After they mated, Braveheart, followed him from bedsite to bedsite. Braveheart spent an hour and a half grooming him for ticks, with some reciprocation from him. For the most part, though, he just looked blissful—and tired.

Jewel eats dandelions under Welcome sign - May 21, 2012

Toward evening, we found Braveheart alone but zig-zagging and sniffing the ground a lot as if looking for a bear—maybe her mate. How could he leave her like that? We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Jewel reaches for a dandelion flower - May 21, 2012

We worried a bit today when Jewel’s GPS showed she was visiting a few houses. We checked and found she was eating dandelion flowers and stems which are plentiful in yards right now. Herbie and Fern rested high in a white pine. One of the yards had a sign saying welcome. We held our breath when Jewel crossed a paved road multiple times as she waiting for her cubs to come down. Everything worked out okay, though. Her cubs eventually came down and they are all deep in the forest again.

Jewel crosses road - May 21, 2012

June and her yearlings also found some dandelions to eat in her clover patch. Dandelions flowers and stems are a common food in this hungry time of year between the emerging vegetation becoming mature and unpalatable and ant brood not yet being available. Unfortunately, they often grow in people’s yards. That’s why a landowner shot One-eyed Jack in the face with a .410 some years back—eating dandelions in his neighbor’s yard. That’s why we worried about Jewel when she did it today.

A video of Jewel and family from May 17 is posted on YouTube.

The lilac bushes that held perhaps 100 Monarch butterflies a couple days ago had only 2 today. The Monarchs have moved on.

Armstrong River valley - May 21, 2012

Today began with mist shrouding the study area and giving the forest a mysterious look. The mist gave way to a beautiful day.

NABC Manager/Curator Donna Andrews is commended for instituting the Bear Keeper Classes. Many of the participants are going on to learn more about the Bear Center, its bears, and its exhibits. They volunteer to feed Ted, Lucky, and Honey, answer questions from visitors, and work to make the Bear Center a better place. Judy Thon said she volunteers because she wants to help and feels truly appreciated. Lynn and Sue echo the appreciation. With a budget a tenth that of similar institutions, the Bear Center relies heavily on volunteers. One of the needs for volunteers was identified in the survey Lily Fans conducted this past year—the need for knowledgeable people to answer questions from visitors. We could use even more people doing that. A link to the Volunteer Application can be found in the left hand column of the Volunteer page.

Thank you for all you do.

—Lynn Rogers and Sue Mansfield, Biologists, Wildlife Research Institute and North American Bear Center
