This is Charlie Akin. Mr. Akin is
a potter and one of the many crafts folk showing off their talents
at the 2005 Tennessee Fall Homecoming at The Museum of Appalachia
in Norris. The event is always punctuated with great food, wonderful
music, and these friendly local folks. There are some new pictures
in the Museum of Appalachia
section, and HERE
are a few scenes from the 2006 Fall Homecoming.

Set the Wayback Machine again,
Sherman. I have found a wealth of old-time radio programs at
OTRCAT.com.
I have his collection of The Life of Riley, The
Great Gildersleeve and over 700 episodes of Fibber McGee
and Molly. OTRCAT offers sample programs for download
so you can get a pretty good start for free.
Here's a fun picture of the creek I played in
as a child. Turn up the sound and be sure Java is
enabled (No, Aunt Jessee, that's not coffee.)

The Blue Boy
Gino helps me a lot when I'm computing. The
blanket is in the office because we had a recent thunderstorm
and Miss Heidi feels safer if her blankie is nearby. If
it's not available she heads for the shower in the master bath.

This little shamrock (wood sorrel) had bloomed in the back yard
all summer long and I decided to try bringing it in for the winter.
It had died back pretty badly by the time I dug it up but
here it is two weeks after potting. It is basking
in the afternoon sun in a south-facing window.

Those of you who remember Winders 3.1 probably remember the included
database application called cardfile.exe. Well these nice folks have an updated version
of it available as shareware. It has a world of uses and
the download site also provides several useful free databases.
By use of zip compression, files are kept quite small. One
of my favorites is called Pies4U. Within a space of only
126 KB are stored a whopping 392 pie recipes. Sucha
Deal ! ! !
NOTE: AZZ Cardfile
recipe databases are now available in the Cookbook Section.

Classical Archives
has begun a streaming audio service. It's free and the quality
is quite good. It is available in the wretched Real Audio, the
bit better Winders Media, and Apple Quicktime. I recommend listening
to it with iTunes.
Just open iTunes, click "Advanced",
then "Open Stream" and paste the following URL into
the field:
http://radio.classicalarchives.com:8002/listen.pls
This setup assumes that you are
using a broadband connection. Trying this with a dial-up
connection will be frustrating.
