Where is Balaam from?

Balaam is asked by the king of Moab to come curse the Israelites.  He wants to go but God tells him no.  Obviously he cannot be an Israelite if the king of Moab is seeking for him to curse them.   Interesting that God is aware of others besides the children of Israel.  Often we forget that the Lord can reveal himself to anyone, not just his chosen people.  Like Abish, the Lamanite woman who's father had a miraculous dream which converted his household to the Lord.

Numbers 22:5  He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people,

PETHOR - pe'-thor The dwelling-place of Balaam, situated on "the river" (the Euphrates).   Here is a map showing where Balaam lived.

The Amalekites are disenters from the Nephites.

We first hear about the Amalekites in Alma 21 when Aaron goes to preach to them.  Apparently they dissented away from the Nephites, but we don't have that history. (Book of Mormon | Alma 21)

Licence -vs- License

In trying to remember how to spell this word I realized that my spell checker liked both spellings.  So I wondered what was the difference!?  I found this: “Licence” is a noun and “license” is a verb.

This is a blog that helped me understand the difference:  http://www.m0mcx.co.uk/2007/12/08/licence-vs-license/

And this site is helpful too:  http://www.future-perfect.co.uk/grammartips/grammar-tip-license-licence.asp

4-H class on Ham Radio

Kevin Kesler - taught 4-H class on Ham Radio

AARL 800-326-3942

kevin.kesler@usu.edu - ask for power point for Ham radio

You can get ham radio coverage where cell phones don't.  Morse Code used to be required to get a licence, but not anymore.  Morse Code can be faster than texting.
http://www.coolestone.com/media/787/Text_Messaging_Vs_Morse_Code__-_Jay_Leno/

You can talk to astronauts on the Space Station!  You can use a direction finder to locate a hidden transmitter or beacon.  In an emergency anyone can talk on a ham radio temporally.

Ham Radio Operators can offer Community Service - bike races, parade control, marathons
Ham Radios are good in an emergency.  They are the best solution for communication because they are not overloaded, not dependent on electric or phone lines, maintained by individuals, and antennas can be set up quickly.

Hurricane Katrina took out electric and phone poles, cell phone towers.  There was no regular communication so ham radio operators set up antennas and helped.

You can set up a ham radio box with old batteries from school fire alarms (schools have to replace the battery every 2 years and they are usually still good.)  You can even build your own radio if you want to.

HF radio can talk around the world (30 Megahertz) It is a lower frequency and it  bounces off atmosphere to talk around world.  - get photo


Tests - There is no age minimum to take the test.  It has 35 questions.  If you get 26 correct to pass.  You can take practice tests on the web.  www.qrz.com  There are 3 levels of License
•    Technician - basic level to be allowed to talk on radio
•    General - around the world
•    Extra - Higher level of licence

Ham Radio works with line of site.  When it is Radio to Radio it is called Simplex.  It can go 60-100 miles with little hand-helds if you have a  true line of site.  It can go around buildings and hills somewhat, but not as far.

A hand held radio = 5watt
A larger, more powerful box = 50watt

Prices for a handheld
$389-good one  VX7R model #
$150-simple

A Repeater on a mountain can only receive from one signal at a time but can send the signal out to everywhere at once.  A Reflector, however, can connect to multiple signals at a time.

Internet Radio Linking Project  www.irlp.net
Handheld - Repeater - Computer - Computer - Repeater - Handheld
This setup works around world because it connects through the internet.  It has nodes.  A node is like a telephone # - a place where the radio frequencies connect with the computer.  You can connect node to node, or place a call into a reflector.

the chief judge - bound by his own words

The people of Amonihah had just kicked out the men that believed in God and killed their women and children.  The chief judge says to Alma and Amulek, 

24 If ye have the power of God deliver yourselves from these bands, and then we will believe that the Lord will destroy this people according to your words.

Then they all hit Alma and Amulek.  Then Alma says,

26 ... O Lord, give us strength according to our faith which is in Christ, even unto deliverance.  And they broke the cords with which they were bound;  ...

So Alma and Amulek just did exactly what the chief judge said, so now he is bound by his own words to believe that the Lord will destroy the people.  So it makes perfect sense that...

"... when the people saw this, they began to flee, for the fear of destruction had come upon them."

(Book of Mormon | Alma 14:24 - 26)

A claiming horse race

We watched the movie "Dreamer."  In the movie they race the horse in a claiming race and it gets claimed, which means they are forced to sell the horse.  I looked it up online what a claiming horse race is.  Basically all the horses entered in the race are for sale for about the same "claiming price."  The point is to keep the horses in the race equal.   If your horse is worth much more than the claiming price you wouldn't enter it in the race, so the quality of the horses are kept equal, which I guess makes for a more exciting race.   The movie talked about the claim race as a cheep race, perhaps the entry fee is cheaper in that kind of race.


From this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoroughbred_horse_race

A claiming race is one in which the horses are all for sale for more or less the same price (the "claiming price") up until shortly before the race. The intent of this is to even the race; if a better-than-class horse is entered (with the expectation of an easy purse win), it might be lost for the claiming price, which is likely less than the horse is worth. Someone may wish to claim a horse if they think the horse has not been trained to its fullest potential under another trainer. If a horse is purchased, a track official tags it after the race, and it goes to its new owner.

Vinegar can clean pet mess from the carpet!

• Carpet cleaner:  This tip came from the professional carpet cleaner I hired to shampoo our carpet.  For years we have been paying a lot of money buying commercial carpet cleaners for the times our dogs have accidents on the carpet.  The cleaner said use  a 50/50 mix of water and vinegar in a spray bottle and spray the spot with it.  Sure enough that worked like a charm for us.

I learned this from this site: http://www.commonsensewithmoney.com/2010/04/vinegar-frugal-and-green-cleaner/

I found this interesting web site by googling " becoming as Gods" as found in  the Book of Mormon | Alma 12:31

"I originally wrote the book "Becoming God" as scientific approach to debunk spirituality and religion through a close examination of quantum physics, chaos theory, and neurobiology.   For me, there was no mystery. Everything, I thought, could be explained by the forces of nature and through sciences that we are just now beginning to unravel.  I soon discovered that I couldn't have been more wrong.   The more I probed into this enigmatic subject, the more sure I was that science itself is not only intricately connected to spirituality, but is in fact a metaphor for spirituality."

The convincing power of the Holy Ghost

"The convincing power of the Holy Ghost is so great that there can be no doubt that what He reveals to us is true.

President Joseph Fielding Smith said:
“When a man has the manifestation from the Holy Ghost, it leaves an indelible impression on his soul, one that is not easily erased. It is Spirit speaking to spirit, and it comes with convincing force. A manifestation of an angel, or even of the Son of God himself, would impress the eye and mind, and eventually become dimmed, but the impressions of the Holy Ghost sink deeper into the soul and are more difficult to erase” (Answers to Gospel Questions, comp. Joseph Fielding Smith Jr., 5 vols. [1957–66], 2:151).
President Smith also said, “Through the Holy Ghost the truth is woven into the very fibre and sinews of the body so that it cannot be forgotten” (Doctrines of Salvation, comp. Bruce R. McConkie, 3 vols. [1954–56], 1:48)."  (From Gospel Principles “Chapter 7: The Holy Ghost,” Gospel Principles, (2009),31–33)

Manna From Heaven Program - for an eating disorder

I found this web site about a solution to eating disorders.  It is not a diet plan but a way to allow God to heal you.

http://mannafromheaven.org/WhyManna.htm

Why Manna?

  

Why Choose the Manna From Heaven Program over others?

 

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”  Romans 12:2

 

I wrote the Manna From Heaven Program after God healed me from an eating disorder.  For years I desperately sought help for my obsession, thinking that if I just had more will power I could control my eating.

Manna - What is it?

31  And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.   (Old Testament | Exodus 16:31) 

Here is a photo of coriander seed.

Here is a video about what Manna might have been.  It is very likely that manna is still growing in the desert there.  We still have the Sea Gulls in Salt Lake City.




From: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Wg5GsTwd4

nowheretorun1984 — September 16, 2008 — In this 9 min video I make a case that the Manna spoken of in the Bible may be the Terfezia and Tirmania Desert Truffles of the Middle east region.

here are some factors I considered

• Sustenance capability
• Geography
• habitat
• it is said that manna was white and tasted like wafers in honey.
• Numbers 11:7 adds that manna was like coriander seed, the color of bdellium,
• Numbers 11:8 adds that it could be ground, pounded, boiled and made into cakes.
• Timing of Manna Fall
• Appeared overnight in the morning
• It becomes infested with maggots when left out,
• It melts in the sun
• It is Small and round
• And it appears suddenly, without seed or root.

Israel Crossing the Red Sea

From this site: http://www.accordingtothescriptures.org/doctrine/redseacrossing.html

There have been various groups who have been trying to determine if this indeed could have been the exact place that the Hebrews crossed the Red Sea. In all of the Gulf of Aqaba, this would have been the only probable location that they might have crossed for there is a natural (supernatural) land bridge between the Sinai and Arabian peninsulas, under the water. As well, there are very interesting, and strange coral formations found there that are not found anywhere else in the Gulf of Aqaba that may be the remnants of Pharaohs chariots. As one diver observed, it looked like a junkyard with debris strewn throughout the sandy bottom. It should be noted that coral needs something that it can form on and will not stick to sand. This might suggest that at one time or another there has been something deposited on the sandy bottom for the coral to start forming there.

Love and Fruit

Alma 5:36  For behold, the time is at hand that whosoever bringeth forth not good fruit, or whosoever doeth not the works of righteousness, the same have cause to wail and mourn.

1 Ne 11: 22-23 Knowest thou the meaning of the tree which thy father saw?   22 And I answered him, saying: Yea, it is the love of God

Every scripture can be looked at in at least 3 different ways.  If fruit is love, then you could read Alma 5:36 to say, if you don't have love, you will mourn.  Also this can lead us to see "works" in another light.  We often think of works as things we do, like pay tithing, go to church, serve others, and on and on.  Often we confuse this list with the requirements to get into heaven.  But if the works are actually love, then we just need to make sure that all our actions come from love, then we get into heaven. 

Love is the key, not a checklist.

 3 types of bees in a hive - queen, worker, drone


Queen - 2000 eggs a day from up to 20 drones in a day or 2, lay eggs for 3 years
queen hatches after 16 days

Workers - 21 days
Drone -24 days

Photo - comparison of the three types of bees from :http://www.honeycouncil.ca/siteimages/108-Bees.jpg

if you don't have enough brood each time you check the hive, then your queen is gone
if you kill the queen you need to get another one
the queen bee is proof that you are what you eat, queen becomes queen from eating royal jelly
http://www.honeycouncil.ca/index.php/canadianhoney_teachers

the queen will be surrounded by about 12 younger bees


Bees never go to sleep and live 45 days in the summer but 5 months in the winter,  they don't go to the bathroom all winter long if it is really cold

• don't swat at a bee, move it lightly
• don't move quick, your eye lids move quickly so duck your head, cover eyes, stop moving, cover in bush, move methodical

smoking works because
- queen makes a queen substance to communicate
smoking makes them not be able to communicate, and they think there is a fire, so they put their head in to get the honey out,
or they want fresh air, instead of stinging you
covers attack pheremone
if you smoke it too much they may grab all your honey and take off
put syurp on bees and then they are busy licking themselves off instead of stinging you

bees sting more based on the conditions of the day - time, weather, what is going on, working bees won't sting so if it is cloudy -the bees aren't working as hard, watch out

We watched a video about Alex.  There was a bully at school named Big Mike.  Alex tattled, and it was okay to tattle, and the adults solved the problem at school.  However Big Mike sent him text messages every minute saying he was going to kill him after school the next day.  He also sent him threatening emails.  Alex tattled again, his parents saved the text messages and emails and put them on a CD, which they gave to the principal.  This solved the problem again.

Apparently it is a criminal offense to make a physical threat like Big Mike did.

Kids take inappropriate photos and send them on their phones.  It used to be a felony to send leud photos, because of child porn.  The law was changed to only be a mis-demeanor if under 18 because it was too stiff of a law for all the kids are getting into trouble.  It is much easier to do this nowadays, taking photos in the locker room,  taking photos of themselves, and such.

5 Basic Tips to Keeping Kids Safer Online  NetSafeUtah - Internet Safety for Utah's kids

The Internet is wonderful

• Accessible from everywhere
• Communicate with family, friends, others
• Information, homework, entertainment, current news, libraries, 

The Internet is dangerous for the same reasons

• Accessible from everywhere
• Communicate with family, friends, others
• Information, homework, entertainment, current news, libraries, 
• identity theft
• predators
• porn
• drugs

Technology is not the problem  ...  We are the ones who decide what to do with the technology.
Laws can help, but they don't extend to other countries, so you need education.

Everyone can get tricked to accidentally see a site, or download a virus.
Youth need to be allowed to become independent, and they are going to make mistakes.  We need to help prevent permanently damaging  mistakes.

Kids who are at risk of being exploited in the real world are also at risk online, but the kids who are not at risk in the real world are not usually exploited online.  It is a threat, but not a big one.

4-H Leadermete - Archery in the Schools

montipoulson@gmail.com  - Monti Poulson taught class last minute because the teacher wasn't able to show.  Teacher should have been:  RaLynne Takeda (801) 538-4710,  (801) 538-4753,  ralynnetakeda@utah.gov  http://wildlife.utah.gov/news/09-08/lee_kay.php


http://archeryintheschools.org/activea.asp

All manuals online,
for 3rd - 6th grade - Long Bows
5-6 - smaller compounds - good bow, Genisis $250 at Jakes through archery in the schools $150
They can tell you where to get grant money to buy bows.
20 bows worked for 40 kids - gave kids a break from tired arms

Have students hold hands together with hole,  have them look at teacher through hole.  Teacher will see one eye, that is the dominate eye.

right eye dominant- use a right handed bow
right handed -but left eye dominant - try left bow, can switch

• left handed - need left gun because nose gets kicked otherwise
• used bales of straw, stuffed animals, stuffed Barney, for targets,
  took metal hangers, curled one in and skewered stuffed animals, to use as target practice
• you can teach archery from Archery in the Schools lesson manuals.
• Students enjoy taking a photo of how well they hit the target.
• Arrows have a nubbed nose, not much of a point, just enough to penetrate a bale of straw.
• When kids put arrow down, pull it out straight out or straight up, so it won't bend.  
• Arrows have 2 colors of feathers, make the odd color out on the outside of the bow to save them from being ruined.  when you draw back the two similar colors are flat and don't get hung up on string.
• By the 3rd week the kids are nailing a 20 ft target.  $4 a piece for cheep arrow,
• because of the danger involved you have to be extremely strict in the beginning of the program.
• To get assistants, ask for students studying to be PE teachers, they need service hours.
• 10 weeks once a week.
• one adult for every 10 kids
• afterschool program, if a teacher does it during school, easier to get grant.  Also if the school writes the grant with you it is easier to get the grant.
