Very sorry to hear about your mother and all the difficulties with her house. I've had some members of my family go through that and they always take it one day at a time. My aunt, with the help of some caregivers used a lift for my uncle after he stopped getting out of bed.
I'm not going to SW weekends, but I'll see you at DragonCon. 
I got my taxes done last weekend. So nice to get that out of the way before the deadline.

I agree about them backing out, I have had the same issue. I actually started using blue Locktite, I got a stick of it at the local auto parts store, put a small dab on the threads, and that screw will not come out. I had the rivet problem with my everyday pants belt I made and did the Locktite trick, no problems since going on 4 years....

It'll take me 2 1/2 years to get a BS degree. Pace allows you to take 1 1/2 to 2 years to complete the accelerated program. My physician advised against working while in an accelerated program because it's faster paced and I'll be too busy to have a job.

One thing about those screw on rivets --- check them for tightness every time you put on your belt! I have caught a few coming loose before and you really don't want to have a missing rivet on your belt.

So glad to hear you've got progress and a family thumbs-up on the move to school! It's best to get that done full time. How long will you be in school? Will there be any work internships?
I got my taxes done today no refund, but nothing owed either -- I hate waiting to the last minute, but there always seems to be some form with some correction that rolls in on March.

Hi Guys - long time no talk!
I can offer this bit of advice, Screw Back Rivets - no setting of rivets with a hammer is a blessing on the knuckles (from experience)
As far as the Keeper - Obi's belt has the rivets clearly visible, Anakin's does not. I'm guessing that the keeper is sewn in place which, in theory, wouldn't be bad if you look at 2 things:
1 - There are score lines, put the stitch there
2 - The belt is a darker brown, so try to either use a darker thread and/or maybe a clear thread
Honestly, most fans are looking at the Saber and Pouches and don't even notice a little detail like how the keeper is held in place. Just tell them it's the will of the force ;-)

 bows Greetings All, Well I feel like I've been gone forever but hopefully now I'm back. These past several months since CVI have been extremely stressful all the way around. My Mom is deteriorating badly & Colleen & I have no idea how long she has before Mom becomes 1 with the Force. In the fall Mom accidently fractured her femur & is still, even now still healing. She's had a sore which took about 4 months to heal. Her appitite is reduced considerably. She is fully handicapped & Colleen & Jen use, for now, a hoyer lift to get Mom out of bed into her chair & back again. I can't even move the hoyer lift empty, a very heavy piece of equipment but Mom likes it because she thinks she's flying. We also had to get my Mom's house prepped for selling & it turned out to be a complete nightmare. The house did get a buyer along with a list from the lending group of things that NEEDED to be done before they would allow the buyer to buy the house. Very HUGE headache all the way around. It was finally successful & we closed on the house & it is NOW out of my hair & off of my back. The saddest part was that we had to undersell the house because of what is going on in the housing market. We just completed some other things & only starting now to see the dust settle from all we have been going through---I mention we because I include Colleen-Mom's caregiver along with myself. We have another caregiver as well, named Jen who helps on the weekends. What with my shoulders I can't even lift Mom as she is quite heavy. Me I'm finally getting my act together & remembering I'm a Jedi. Though being a Jedi has helped me through all of this. I am in general doing ok . I'm walking more in house with my Wii Walk it out program & that seems to be helping me a lot. I have some other exercise programs that I'm doing daily to also help me. I think all in all since CVI I've been maintaining my lower wgt or actually have come down some more & maintaining it. I won't be able to do as many cons this year as I would like as I think I'm going to spend a bit more time with Mom & Colleen while Mom is still around. I do have plans to go to Star Wars Weekends this May. Hopefully Dragon Con. I know I'll be doing the Joliet Library Event in June---everything else is unknown. I was hoping to go to Celebration Europe but too expensive for this year. Though with the Force things can change on a dime. Thank You MTFFBWY Jan-Qui

AUCTION: Earlier this year, as we were coming up with ideas for the new patch design, artist Eric Siebeneck and I came up with the concept of reaching out to the star of Travel channel's "Toy Hunter" television show, Jordan Hembrough. Since it was a fundraising patch, we were hoping that the idea of someone who pays money for found objects would be a good one to help. Both Eric and I reached out to Jordan and were able to speak with him directly. He was very pleased to be a part of the fundraiser. Eric came up with the concept art, pictured below. Ultimately Lucasfilm vetoed the idea and we had to come up a different design, which is the patch we offer now. Up for auction is the original rough artwork designed by Eric Siebeneck. It is 8"x10". This auction will take place on the TJA Message Boards and will be open to TJA members only (MB and Facebook members allowed). This auction will run from April 3 to April 10 at 9:00 p.m. EASTERN TIME, the premiere of the new season of "Toy Hunter" on Travel Channel. All proceeds will got to help support The Jedi Assembly.  |

Sounds like fun. I wonder if the Gulf of Mexico could be considered a 'landmark'?
