Ray Harryhausen: 1920 - 2013


The stop motion master behind the dinosaurs of One Million Years BC and other science fiction and fantasy monster movies is now dead. Thank you, Ray for all the magic of bringing dinosaurs and mythical monsters to life through stop motion animation. RIP. :(

Awesome Campaign Goal!


While updating my posts on Facebook and Twitter, I was asked by a FB friend about what will I do when I reach my goal of raising $14,000 and buy the pedal harp. Well after I gave her some suggestions, I realized that I've just set up a highly realistic harp goal -- raise $14,000 to buy my own pedal harp, then use the instrument to stage outdoor performances to raise money to support local organizations in my hometown of Owosso, MI, including the Shiawassee Humane Society, The Shiawassee United Way, and The American Red Cross. It's a great goal to achieve while at the same time make a big difference in everyone who lives in my hometown, including myself. I'll raise $14,000 to buy my own pedal harp and then have the beloved instrument of mine help me make a big difference in my local community by staging outdoor concerts at the farmer's market, the amphitheater, and even outside grocery stores to raise money for The United Way, The Humane Society, and the Red Cross.

Mystery Solved: The school paper came from a Christian school.


Last time, the dad, whose 4th grade daughter brought home a school paper containing some disgusting lies coming out of the likes of Answers in Genesis' own Dumb Idiot Ken Ham, refuses to tell anyone where the paper came from until he takes his daughter out of school at the end of the school year. Scopes.com curious to where the paper came from decided to do some snooping around to find out which school is behind the paper. In the end it turned out to be none other than Blue Ridge Christian Academy, the school advocating this kind of bullcrap coming from Ham himself whose latest emotional tailspin focus on receiving what he calls "vicious emails" mostly coming from people who couldn't believe that a school like Blue Ridge Christian Academy would teach something like this.
"This science test was originally posted on r/atheism. Snopes.com picked it up thinking it was a hoax. Surely, no one with their wits about them would teach a child these things. Sadly, this is an actual test. This is what passes for “science” in at least one Christian school.

...
I truly fear for humanity.
What do you fear for in humanity, Ham? Do you fear that humanity will all together rise up and reject your idiocy outright because all you have is lies and fairy tales while science and reality has mountains of evidence confirming that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago long before humans evolved? Well guess what? Great multitudes of them have already have!
These atheists have willfully suppressed the truth that there is a Creator and that His Word is true. We need to sincerely pray that these people will come to repentance and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ before it’s too late.
It's already too late, Ham. They willfully suppressed the so-called truth because it's all nothing more than lies and made-up stories. Praying that things go your way won't work. There's nothing that can lead atheists to "repentance" and acceptance of your young earth idiocy, your so-called "Gospel of Jesus Christ" because they knew and accept the fact that what you advocate, Ham, is all pretend unlike evolution and "millions of years" that both have mountains of evidence confirming them to be fact.

The DonationTo Widget has moved.


I decided to revert my site back to user friendly status and move the large widget to the middle of the page underneath each post. Sorry about that. I didn't want everyone to be turned off at the site of the DonationTo widget the moment you arrive here. I don't want anyone to be turned off of me trying to raise $14,000 to buy a pedal harp, either. The large widget is right between the list of related content and the Disqus comments section. You can't miss it. I'll have to go back to a few previous posts and edit the articles a bit to fit the arrangement I made. Then I'll go back to post updates on my blog and encourage every reader here to help me reach my goal of raising $14,000 to cover the cost of buying a pedal harp. After the goal is reached, I'll post a Youtube video of me playing the pedal harp I'll buy with the $14,000 raised exactly like what I did with the rental harp and my harpsicle harp "Curtis".

$900 raised by yours truly.


I just started raising the harp money myself. I have $900 in tax refund that I have put away for the pedal harp. When the weather gets warm which it won't be long, I'll be doing outdoor harp music performances to raise more money to buy my own pedal harp. Last year I earned almost $2,000 to buy my own pedal harp, but circumstances arose that compelled me to use the money for something else. Now I have to start all over with $900 of my tax refund to help replenish what I've earned before the circumstances forced me to change my plans and spent the money on buying Curtis, my harpsicle harp and send the large rental pedal harp back a short time after an incident involving the big rental harp slipping from the harp cart I was hauling the harp around with and breaking off one of its back feet. I had to used wood glue to fix the feet and fix the other cracks that have gotten loose on the harp. I had to make the harp as good as new and do something so that the incident won't happen again. So I went and used the harp money to go buy the harpsicle harp and send the rental harp back because it won't be fair that I pay attention to my own harps and wasted money paying the monthly rent on the rental one only to neglect it. Now I'm starting to rebuild again, including launching a new campaign where I plan to raise $14,000 by my 40th birthday.

I, myself will accumulate as much money as I can and keep you up to date on how much money I have thus far. All I ask is for you to help me reach the $14,000 by July 23rd which is on my 40th birthday by using the huge widget to make a donation in any amount you want to give me to help me reach my goal. The big widget will stay at the bottom of this post between the links to the related content and the Disqus Comment section and not be removed until the goal is reached. If everyone, including myself, pitch in and help raise $14,000 to buy a pedal harp real quickly, I'll post a Youtube video of myself playing my new pedal harp for all to see just like I've done with the rental harp and my harpsicle.

So what are you waiting for? Help make this large widget disappear and give to the Owosso Harpist Pedal Harp Fund Drive!
