Beginning TIE DYE
by TiDi Sushi.
Tie Die is an ancient craft.
Very old fragments of cloth have
been found all over the world.
The first people to do tie dye
may have discovered it by accident
when they were dying cloth and
some folds did not dye. Tie dye
somehow became a way of making
patterns and designs on
cloth by a "resist" method.
Traditionally, knots are tied,
the cloth is heated in liquid
dye, and the knotted areas
"resist" the color. When the
cloth is untied, the patterns
show up as white against a
colored background.
People have invented many ways
to make "resist" designs. Fold,
sew, wrap around objects to
name just a few.
Play around.
use imagination.
Have fun.

Hi there.
I found you from the E-Zine List.
I'd really like a review please.
If you need to know the sort of
music I'm doing, then check out

Cheers.

You've got them scattered
all over the place!
I've seen you've used the mystical
flute player Kokopeli.
[ed note: I didn't "use" him;
we love each other,
but yeah...] I am sure
you're aware (and I find it quite
fascinating) that the figure is
represented in virtually every
ancient American culture in almost
the same guise. There are some fine
examples scattered around the
southwest including the Hopi Flute
Clan and the Flute Clans of other
SW peoples.

Marco,
How do trees know to grow straight up?
Almost all of them do.
I mean, stand on a steep hill,
you can't stand straight and tall
that long; how do THEY do it?

Dear Mr. Benchley:
Thank you for taking the
time to read this letter. I have
enjoyed you(r) books very much!
I, in turn, am working on a
writing project that entails
contacting writers, editors,
and publishers who have a bit
more familiarity with the horror
genre than most others do, and
asking them to vote for their
own personal choice of the three
best horror films of all time.
I would be most honored if
you could therefore e-mail your
response to this thorny question:
What are the three best horror
films of all time?
Best of luck to you in all
your endeavors!
Yours Sincerely,
William
[ed note: thank you, but you must
have mistaken one of us for someone
who likes sticking a toe in the
cold saltwater shark-infested,
surgical waste-filled, yucky briny
ooze and saying "c'mon in the
water's...]
[...but here goes,
1 conspiracy theory
2 wag the dog
3 barbara interviews monika
Those are the three best horror
films of all time, of course
discounting "The Deep" or "Jaws."]

Spoke with CNN Wednesday to verify
that they were on HPL filming. Says
segment will take a little time
to put together but will air in
April. Says there is a lot of
misinformation on the Net about CNN.

You're going to have an awards
ceremony for a genre of music where
144 whole albums were released?
Can't wait for the Jewish American
Music Awards (JAMMIES), or more
importantly, the Independent American
Awards For Music Recorded In Small To
Medium/Large Studios When Initial
Setup For The Recording Event Began
On A Tuesday (IAAMRSMLSWISREBT-IES).
Recognition is a good thing.
This, however, is silly.

Have you personally ever tried
Baked truffles?
Assuming baked truffles is priced
similarly to other baked people
snacks, how interested would you
be in purchasing the new baked
truffles for your household the
next time you get the munchies?
Do you recall which flavor of
baked truffles you received?
Do you or any member of your
household intend to eat baked
truffles?
How old are you?
Did you like that we wrapped them
in plastic first, then a cardboard
box, then more plastic?

Recent millions of dollars have
been spent to stir up controversy
around Rigoberta Menchu's life.
Rumor, and rumors of rumors are being
spread. As campaigns go, it is more
resembling a war minute by minute.
This is a VERY BAD time for Menchu to
get smeared.
We're still trying to get to the bottom
of who killed Bishop Gerardi last year,
and this is NOT going to help.
The only thing I know negative about
Rigoberta so far is her inability to
denounce Mexican president Ernesto
"Cold War" Zedillo, for it's he who
granted her asylum when her brothers
and sisters were being hunted down
and killed. She lost two more first
cousins and another brother after
"I Rigoberto" was published.
Of course, she's afraid to denounce
him his oppression of Chiapanecos.
That would be like demanding that
Andres Segovia badmouth Spain!
I don't think whether her book is a
true autobiography or did she have
ghostwriters, whether it all happened
to her, or was it based on many events
and many people. I don't think any of
this is nearly as important as finding
out who assassinated Gerardi the Sunday
two days after his chilling book about
10 years of genocide in guatemala
was published last year. It's not
nearly as important as shutting down
the school of the Americas in Benning
Georgia where the people who killed
almost everyone Menchu knows got their
training. I dont' think it's nearly as
important as putting an end to death
squads, especially ones trained here
in the United States, most especially
if we are going to prance around saying
how focused we are on human rights.
The dark cloud over turtle island just
got 5 shades deeper when people began
smearing Mylady Menchu. I wonder how
many dollars US, are being spent on
THIS mission?????????????
Let's remain focused on justice please.
I think badmouthing her is harmful
right now. We can deal with the
accuracy/inaccuracy of her book AFTER
amnesty international's done charging
the US, AFTER the UN's done charging
the US, AFTER every country who's
signed on to ban landmines is done
charging the US.
