This post is intentional! Amanda asked me to put my bee picture on the blog. I shot this at May's at the Fall Open House. For me, to shoot a bee is something akin to someone else shooting a bear. I am very allergic to bees and all stinging insects and carry my injector with me at all times. For me to get up close and personal to a bee like this really gets my adrenaline pumping! Who needs epinephrine? <br /><br />Having said that, I would like to say that I'm so sorry I won't be in town for the next IUAA meeting because I so loved reading the Bee book. I read it years ago. My favorite part was all of the factual information that the reader gets at the beginning of each chapter. If only humans would run society like the little bee colony, we might all be better for it. <br /><br />So do you know the old camp song that my title refers to?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601578489205295446.post-83014584633814250712008-10-02T13:32:00.003-04:002008-10-02T13:39:36.965-04:00The Secret Life of Bees in theaters Oct. 17Today's episode of <i>The Oprah Winfrey Show</i> has the cast of <i>The Secret Life of Bees</i>.

Local authors Bob Hammel and Michael Koryta will be at the event the first day to sell and sign copies of their newest books.<br /><br />“We’ve added an indoor concession stand so people can take their time browsing through the lunch and dinner hours,” Sue Gulley, Monroe County Red Cross executive director, said in a prepared statement. “We’ve also moved to the larger commercial building to accommodate the thousands of items we have to sell.”<br /><br />At the event this year special T-shirts and Red Cross book bags will be on sale. Hours will be extended each day, and many of the same special event days will be in place, such as half price day, bag-it day and free-book day. There will be a half-price bag-it day Monday, and a new clearance section on Thursday and Friday.<br /><br />Opening day is the only day with an admission fee, $10 at the door.<br /><br />The fair schedule is as follows:<br /><br />Thursday, 2-9 p.m.: $10 admission.<br /><br />Friday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.: Free admission.<br /><br />Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.: Free admission; half-price books all day.<br /><br />Sunday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.: Free admission; Bag-it Day all day ($8 for all books packed into a grocery bag)<br /><br />Oct. 6, 9 a.m.-6 p.m.: Free admission; Half-price Bag-it Day all day ($4 for all books packed into a grocery bag)<br /><br />Oct. 7, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.: Free Book Day.<br /><br />Taken from the <i>Herald-Times</i> online at <a href="http://www.heraldtimesonline.com/stories/2008/09/29/news.qp-6657017.sto">http://www.heraldtimesonline.com/stories/2008/09/29/news.qp-6657017.sto</a>.Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13162121236159005769noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601578489205295446.post-43114332739383274052008-09-17T08:59:00.003-04:002008-09-17T09:03:50.204-04:00October BookThe book to be read for October is <em>The Secret Life of Bees</em> by Sue Monk Kidd.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ntvTukFNCF8/SND_j1lbwwI/AAAAAAAABtQ/bp3dsCjaiuY/s1600-h/37435.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246974557031219970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ntvTukFNCF8/SND_j1lbwwI/AAAAAAAABtQ/bp3dsCjaiuY/s320/37435.jpg" border="0" /></a> The votes seem to be leaning toward switching to Thursdays, so our next meeting will be on Thursday, October 16th at 6pm.

So pick a day that works best for you.<br /><br />Unless there are conflicts on the part of everyone else, we will continue as scheduled with the September meeting on Tuesday the 16th at 6pm.

To keep it in line with the time of month we have been meeting before, how about the third Tuesday of each month? This would make our discussion of Orwell's 1984 on Tuesday, August 19th. Any preferences of meeting location?Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16779992440781184550noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601578489205295446.post-82329485636522775962008-07-18T22:15:00.001-04:002008-07-18T22:17:40.369-04:00Online VersionJust in case you'd prefer an online format, 1984 can be read online <a href="http://www.readprint.com/work-1249/George-Orwell">here</a>.Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16779992440781184550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601578489205295446.post-90543701501823782882008-07-16T16:06:00.005-04:002008-07-16T16:26:19.870-04:00Can you dance in a post-apocalyptic world?David Bowie was a fan of George Orwell and wanted to do a concept album of Orwell's book <i>1984</i>. Bowie started working on the material in 1973 but was unable to get permission from Orwell's estate. Not all was lost. In 1974, Bowie released <i>Diamond Dogs</i> a rock concept-album about a post-apocalyptic world.<br /><br />I thought this video would be fun to post. This is David Bowie performing his song "1984" from <i>Diamond Dogs</i>.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gH9WnSOISv0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gH9WnSOISv0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13162121236159005769noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601578489205295446.post-84445250332162329342008-07-16T11:28:00.001-04:002008-07-16T11:28:28.325-04:00MeetingsWhat does everyone thing about having a more "regular" meeting time? For example, the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6pm. That might help in scheduling other life events.
