text: I should start off by saying that I have a very deep affection for American Idol . It's a brilliant show, an absolute phenomenon in the history of television, and I'm not just saying that because they had me on as a guest judge and performer last year -- I truly enjoy the show and would watch it even if the contestants didn't sing my songs as part of the competition and keep my music in the minds of the record-buying public. Now, William Hung ... well, he's certainly no Clay Aiken, my all-time favorite American Idol participant for obvious reasons. But I have a special fondness for William, too -- after all, when I was starting out, people said I was funny-looking and couldn't sing. And even when I became a gigantic pop star in the '70s, I had nearly as many people who hated me as adored me, and let me tell you, a lot of people adored me! Now, could William have done a better job singing my song 'It's a Miracle,' which you can find on several of my Greatest Hits albums? Probably. But if he keeps at it despite what the millions of people who despise him think, then perhaps one day he, too, will sign an eight-year deal to entertain at the Las Vegas Hilton on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, two shows on Saturday, senior citizen and group discounts available.

On some events, mother and father are deprived of the information that dwelling schooling is a licensed numerous, leaving them feeling helpless and unable to put a cease to their child's pointless anxiousness. See, merely because you did not get accepted to a tuition free college doesn't suggest that affording a faculty coaching must be not doable! This article explains the most effective methods to plan to pay for school scholar tuition and payments. Schools that do not make AYP for two consecutive years face an increasing number of excessive penalties, culminating throughout the Georgia Department of Education taking administration of the school. This is why we need training and laws about transgender pupil rights.
Over proper here the routine after full-time schooling is: 6th Form College, University (normally three years), Masters, (two) Diploma (one or two). Current and future teachers must, should, must get entangled, be energetic, battle for what we believe in, and most importantly by no means let anybody persuade us future lecturers not to enter coaching – we're the next generations of lecturers. No college ought to have the power to supply larger high quality training simply because the dad and mom of the learners are capable of afford extra. A newest Fortune School graduate is a teacher in the PE division with the perfect health take a look at scores in all of Oakland Unified.
When my daughter's earlier college loans confirmed a default and a subsequent sale back to the guarantor over four months and one new Sallie Mae federal mortgage disbursement later, the director of the division and a monetary assist officer sat doodling whereas my very confused daughter was left to make cellphone calls on her own behalf. I even have cousins who've authorized to follow legislation with jurisdiction in Chicago and Florida nevertheless not California; in any other case they said they may want to take up the case for me. I really could not afford the costs so I merely shrugged the entire thing off. Program Description: We start with political coaching and anti-oppression workshops.
Last month, the NJ Department of Education (NJDOE) proudly announced that the state's highschool graduation fee had improved for the fourth straight yr to virtually ninety{25d806faf44280f26afacb230ea329c5c4346c949a2c41fee79219f59d19770a}, one of many highest in the nation.

If your dad and mom refuse to cosign or have very spotty credit, then you definitely definitely'll must get your loans with out a cosigner.

He may have easily won re-election Tuesday night, but Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. may also be working on a plea deal with federal authorities who are looking into his alleged misuse of campaign funds.
Chicago Sun-Times gossip columnist Michael Sneed, citing an unnamed source, published word of the plea deal late Wednesday, and said Jackson may also have used campaign funds to buy a pricey watch for a female friend.
NBC Chicago was unsuccessful in reaching Jackson's office for comment late Wednesday, but the Sun-Times said spokesman Frank Watkins declined to comment.
Jackson continues to receive treatment for bipolar depression at the Mayo Clinic. He's been absent from Congress since late June and did very little campaigning for his 2nd Congressional seat. Still, he came with with 63 percent of the vote.
Federal prosecutors in October launched a criminal investigation of Jackson, Jr. involving financial improprieties, including possible misuse of funds monitored by Congress to decorate his Washington, D.C. Home.
That came on top of a continued U.S. House Ethics Committee investigation into Jackson's possible attempts at being appointed to now-President Barack Obama's vacated U.S. Senate seat.

Traditional Offset
Offset printing is often called traditional printing because it has been around much longer than digital printing. The real draw to using offset printing is the ability to do huge quantities at a much lower cost than digital printing. The process of offset printing uses something called plates for each individual color of ink used in printing. You can think of the plates as basically being like a rubber stamp. As you combine each plate the colors mix and you end up with your final printed image.
Often offset printing is done with only one or two specific colors. Certain paper types and colors can only be used by offset printing. If you have a very specific color to match you will often be asked to pick a Pantone color. Sometimes these are also called spot color or PMS color. Digital printing can get extremely close to matching Pantone colors but printing offset will alway be 100% accurate to whatever Pantone color you choose.
Because offset printing requires different plates to be created for each color and each page of a design, it isn't very cost effective if you aren't doing a large quantity of prints. In those cases you would want to print using digital printing. We have top of the line offset printing capabilities as well as press operators with years of experience to run those machines. They'll make sure all jobs are completed to the highest standards and get them done fast.

Join the Congregation as we look back on every episode of Father Ted, with new guests on each pod! And in case forensic detail of the show isn't enough for you, we talk incessantly about all sorts of stuff, like Father Austin Purcell.
Episode 26 - TOP FIVE FATHER TED EPISODES
By James at February 03, 2017
Labels: 'Ah Go On' count, Board games room, Dougal's natty jumpers, Dougal's record collection, Jack's drinks cabinet, Shoutout to the Congregation, The money was just resting, Top 5 Contender
Episode 23 - Night Of The Nearly Dead
Kiel Cathers, lead singer of folk rock behemoths The Logues wards off the huddled masses of Eoin McLove fans in this hilarious send up of Daniel O'Donnell.
Episode 19 - Speed 3
PAT MUSTARD! Comedians Victoria E Armstrong and David Doherty-Jebb commandeer a milk float in this seminal episode.
Episode 17 - Are You Right There, Father Ted?
Belfast Comedy Writers Johnny Nicholl and Jonathan McCoy watch Ted insult a sixth of the world's population when he tries to impersonate a Chinese person. Dougal helps him come up with an idea, but he didn't realise there were a lot of small ideas after. Mrs Doyle uses a novel form of chiropractic after she falls off the roof and Jack develops agoraphobia.
Episode 15 - New Jack City
Lifelong Ted fan, Sean Treanor hosts the nightmarish Father Fintan Stack and his 3am jungle music, but at least he had his fun, and that's all matters. Jack's hairy hands has him stationed up in 'Jurassic Park', so Ted and Dougal have to entertain their new cereal-stealing housemate and Mrs Doyle manages to get her message above the din.
Episode 11 - A Song for Europe
Composer and musician Marty Devine serenades us through Craggy Island's melodious tribute to Eurovision. Ted and Dougal go through some creative differences, but emerge with the classic My Lovely Horse (well, the lyrics at least).

Episode 9 - Tentacles of Doom
London Comedy Writers Olly Allsop and Jordan Birch attend the upgrading of the Holy Stone of Clonrickert to a Class 2 Relic.

Dougal philosophises on the nature of Heaven and Hell and all that, while Ted has to bring Jack through a few elocution lessons (Th-th-th-that...).
Episode 7 - Hell
Colin Hassard joins us again to discuss Graham Norton's bow on the show as the relentless Father Noel Furlong. Father LARRY DUFF! He's tremendous fun, I'll give him a call. And Dougal's spatial awareness causes concern ("These cows are very small...")
Episode 4 - Competition Time
The classic Henry Sellers ("I MADE THE BBC") episode, Competition Time.
Hopefully you'll laugh as much as the largely overshadowed character, Barty Dunne; we get the first appearance of Dick Byrne; how many times Mrs Doyle says 'Ah, go on!' (it's hard to keep count!); lepresy; Craggy Island Rehab Resort; Hans Zimmer (you'll hear why); Going for Gold; Stars in Their Eyes; Elvis Aaron Presley and lots more! Except the English Papers.

The Last Stand
What if you were the very last tree?
The only one left
To keep our secrets,
Hear our laments,
Grieve our sorrows,
Your own?
Would we stop the madness?
See wonder through new eyes?
Hold sacred vigils
Here at my parents' graves?
Could a small child reach out and touch,
Feel the rivulet roughness of your bark?
Would a sparrow find rest,
Permission to nest?
Or, would barbed wire shroud your elegance,
Armed guards and "Keep Out" signs?
Just in case,
I need to confide.
I rely on you
To cradle holy ground,
Fidelity not even my dog would understand.
Thank you!
How many times I should have said those words but didn't!
I loved them, too, you know,
My dad, my mom.
Weren't wealthy or worldly
Yet affluence flourished
On our dead-end back street,
Endowments from a different realm where
Plainsong plucked acoustic souls
Who rocked in woodland studios.
Maple, Ash, Oak, Aspen-
Earth in fluidity.
You live to protect Her.
Would die to protect Her.
Yet you'd take not one life to avenge Her demise.
(Anthem of a true patriot.)
And oh, that I could
Sway with the breeze regardless of tempo,
Reverberate rhythm regardless of rhyme,
Surrender to splendor,
Relinquish my need,
Allow revelation.
Sometimes I speak
But the right words don't come.
You've never needed to be right.
Your knotted scars and tangled trust-
Pure Bodhi speak.
Arms always reaching,
Limbs touching limbs in solidarity-
And somewhere deep,
In the womb of perpetual waking,
Arrogance dissolves in your rich, moist darkness.
Rooted dreams spiral their longing,
Tangled and hugged and calmed
In your fathomless underground,
Beyond words.
(In Aramaic (the language that Jesus spoke) the word "Truth" is Sherara, which means: "That which liberates and opens possibilites; that which is strong and vigorous and that which acts in keeping with universal harmony". ) Neil D. Klotz
Twittering Simon & Garfunkel
And the young man spoke:
In my little town
I grew up on a sesame street
Where neighbors shared common ground
And big-bird hurts were easily mended
With a catchy tune and a green frog chorus.
In my little town
Nickelodian distracted
With its "Mary Tyler morality
And its Lucy laughter.
I was safe as a fraggle, sound as a doozer.
But the town kept changing.
News told us so.
Presidential cover-ups
Oozing into our "family" room.
Mom coughed in the toxic gloom.
Said she wanted a "living" room.
In my little town
The god-of-the-air-waves evangelized,
Hawking dispondency.
Buy it now while supplies last!
Then came Private Ryan
Where nothing was private and privates were crying.
I saluted plastic-bag flags
Fluttering from branches, skiffing cross vacant lots,
And those guys on the beach?
Small town heroes.
Leaders had no trouble
Sending us off to the bloody sands
Drenched in oil.
No sweat off their greenbacks.
More white markers in grassy fields.
In my little town,
Headphone musik was all the rage.
Didn't want Dad hearing the lyrics.
Wouldn't understand
The thunderous, steady drumbeat
The vulgar screams.
They somehow made sense.
Immersed in the noise.
I could drown down
In my little town.
Snow: The Unified Field
Crystalline peace offerings
Drawn by gravity to an earth in need.
Soundlessly allowing,
Nullifying differences,
Cleansing landscapes,
Blurring boundaries,
Bridging borders,
Dulling sharp edges,
Softening hearts.
The semi-ghost town coal dust: covered.
The littered, pot-holed highway: covered.
Gaudy corporate logos, covered.
Silos, flags, weapons; covered.
Glimpse of what could be.
Little Meadow Lake
Wind was in a singing mood.
Pond indulged her that night
And they rippled together in laughter
Alarming the zigzagged moon.
I envied them their philharmonic secret.
The stars had been allowed to join the madrigal,
Yet, why not I?
I tossed a token offering into her watery womb
Cajoling the star flies to dance.
Their music seemed so far away.
My swallowed stone gave birth to a dream
Which dauntlessly headed for shore
Dissecting my toes in its urgency.
Had I defiled this canvas with my love, with my intrusion?
Its still life, water-colored half tones
Had so nourished my hungry eyes.
I turned to give them privacy, the pond and waltzing wind,
Indebted to them for the unveiling,
And humbled by sweet revelation.
For the wind is the earth's soul, breathing,
And the stars guard with vigilant eyes.
While I recklessly cling to illusions.
If only that pond and woods needed me, too!
But, then again, maybe they do.
For had I not nourished their plasmic pulse
With one tossed stone,
Submitted in love
And rippling still?
When I was a Girl in the Forest
When I was a girl in the forest
There were no rich or poor.
Only kids and a hill to climb.
When I was a girl in the forest
It wasn't just black or white.
The blending of hues was unending, and all of the colors mattered.
When I was a girl in the forest
We knew not of vanity fare.
We crowned our hair in Queen Ann's Lace, and waited for Peter Pan.
When I was a girl in the forest
There was neither the gifted nor slow.
We all could decipher the songbird's reprise.
"You are loved," she would sing. "You are love."
Then one day I left my enchantment (At 11 or 12 or so).
My music-box meadow stood witness
As Captain Hook mocked my demise.
When I was a girl in the city
I left behind innocent eyes,
Eyes that had helped me see clearly.
I'd left behind Robin Hood heroes
For name brands and mirrors of sand
As I blindly conformed to the streets.
When I was a girl in the city,
I joined other penny-loafed preps
In a mold I could never get into
To become what I'd often regret.
So foolish to live in the city
Where labels defined the wild rose,
But its maze was simply a passage
Papered by colors I chose.
When I was a girl in the city,
I met a lad I'd always known.
We fashioned our own little haven....
Yet, so far from home.
Our children would tell of the songbird,
And oh, how I wished I could hear.
Yet vague premonitions kept taunting.
Though I'm still a girl in the city
I thrive on that vague rhapsody
'Bout a kid in a forested refuge,
A kid who's still waiting for me.
And someday, I pray, in contrition,
While strolling my ancient exchange,
I'll savor, in wheel-chaired seclusion,
Those pine-scented woodlands again.
The Boxer
Catching a Ride To Work
He stood on the corner by the posh department store
Clutching his brown-bagged lunch.
Behind him stood the mannequins
Dressed in their cold stares and upper class sophistication.
He felt their plaster pulses, pushing him away
As though they didn't deem him worthy to
Wait before their exclusivity.
"Go across to the Five and Dime," they taunted.
Their fake smiles froze, as Wind's snowy bits of artistry
Sought shelter 'neath his blue-collared existence.
It seemed these flawless flakes felt no shame
In touching his belabored skin.
He held the road with his eyes
Hoping its macadam mirage of promise would insulate him
From the glare of these stagnant accusers
Who modeled their self-righteousness for the worthy.
He thought of his kids who forced his tired form
Out onto the 6:00A.M. canvas.
He fought the urge to melt into the cold concrete
That jeered up at him. "Come on. Lie down. They'll never miss you."
Then two lights blazed the flurried darkness,
And to an ageless audience
The man auditioned with a smile. (An old routine yet well performed.)
He'd gladly leave the stage to actors more refined.
The sole chauffeur he'd ever known
Spoke in rave reviews.
"Hi, Joe! Sorry I'm late."
"That's OK," the old boy lied. He felt the factory calling.
Perhaps today, they'd zoom right past that mechanized enslavement of his spirit.
With one last glance at the ladies in lace,
He supposed that he, too, was in costume.
"Pay day, Joe!" the young voice nudged
Drags on his smoke foul the air.
"Yea," Joe sighed, eyes tearing on second-hand sorrow.
"I'm gonna' win the big one, ya' know," his rider chided.
"Well, I hate to disappoint you
But I've got the lucky ticket right here,"
Joe teased, as he pledged his shirt pocket.
They laughed right along with the worn out Chevy.
" The big fight's tonight.
You ain't gonna miss it?"
"I ain't missed one yet," Joe replied.
"I got me a front row seat."
"Yea? Me too!" Joe laughed. "An ice cold beer's just wait'n."
The rider grinned. "I can almost taste it."
Funny, how their hollow rhetoric soothed with its mediocrity.
Joe's large, calloused hand found the brown, pocketed beads.
(The ones he'd had since first communion, many years ago.)
He sighed submissively to their sweet surrogate touch.
"You're not alone, Joe. You're not alone," they chanted.
He felt a twinge of pity for all the mannequins
Who reigned o're all the vacuumed vanities of the world,
For, neither would they know
The Friday-night flights of the arm-chaired welterweight,
Nor the Love that kept him rising from that chair.
(My father was a blue-collar worker who was devoted to family. I often sensed an inferiority complex lurking somewhere beneath the surface. We were raised in a very small house on a very tight budget and our father lived for the weekends. We spent lots of time at State Parks and other places that didn't cost money and I owe my love of the outdoors to him. Our mom and the Catholic Church held us together as a family and our education was a priority. Dad didn't want us to end up on an assembly line. In the fifties, after we purchased our first black and white TV, we would all gather in the living room on Friday evenings and watch The Talent Scouts and Dragnet before the weekly boxing matches sent the rest of us to the kitchen table to play cards. Dad drank his one-a-week beer and watched the fights, sometimes falling asleep in his special chair. I used to imagine him dreaming of being declared champion at Madison Square Garden, yet he was always a champion to me.
He wished he could have been a better provider and yet my two sisters, my brother and I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful childhood. Dad's name wasn't Joe, though I thought the name Joe suited my poem. His name was Leo Howard Grimm, born in Cumberland, MD in 1910. He went to St. Patrick's Elementary School and graduated from LaSalle High School.)
Not another spelling bee!
Yet some mantras didn't work even back then.
Spirit-scars needed time to heal,
But not in that room.
Sam always had to sit down first.
It broke my heart!
Yet, was it not through that horrible game that
I first experienced compassion?
Our teacher praised the "best and the brightest" and
I began to look for the giftedness of the other.
Her insistence on conformity
Planted a seed for
A primal need: diversity.
She forced us to memorize.
I felt the fear in Rhonda's eyes,
And someone else's happiness
Became more important than my own!
My teacher taught me that!
She lectured, and my mind wandered.
It has never stopped wandering and wondering.
She avoided Joe, earth under nails,
Her faith based on ridicule and the slap of a hand.
Again and again she embarrassed Marie
And even the classroom crucifix cried.
Yet in those tears we grew in respect for each other.
She made us compete.
It ripped us apart.
And a small voice said, "We are one"!
She taught us to fear. "May I teach only love?"
She lifted the lofty, yet I think we're born knowing,
That each new life is divine revelation.
She established a hierarchy, which I had to tear down.
I must still tear it down.
Teacher cried one day
And I knew I could judge no one.
It was a formative year, one I'd never forget.
But wasn't it grand (in an odd sort of way)
And weren't they grand? Sam and Rhonda and Joe and Marie!
Our struggles have shaped us as much as our joys
And aren't we all teachers?
Aren't we all?
The Kite
It summoned Wind in silken thread,
Finessing zigzag currents.
It soared in twisting torrents
Toward its freedom ride.
It laughed in celebration
With the little boy below,
Whose taunting muscles shared the lift
And kept his kite in tow.
"Come, Boy!" it cried in wind-delight.
" Let's get above the grave."
It didn't understand the child
Who told it to behave.
Boy shivered mid the taut string breeze.
He held his dream at bay.
"You know not what awaits you
In the distant sea of gray."
The boy stood firm.
His eyes took flight
Upon this silk-winged, soaring sight.
"Let go!" The Wispy Wind swirled by.
"Your kite needs Father Sky."
"You promise life," The boy screamed out, "but how long can it fly?"
"Eternity knows not of time nor of the fear of dying.
You skillfully delivered flight. That's your ' idea' flying."
Then with a jerk the kite string snapped,
Relinquished to the breeze.
"Thank ya', Boy! The current swells!
It fills my ecstasy!"
With wounded heart the child stood watch.
An old man joined him there.
"I captured this on Polaroid.
Here, keep it in your care."
"Thanks," Boy sighed. He wiped a tear.
His photo-kite seemed proud.
He held the picture tenderly.
The stranger spoke aloud,
"It's O.K., son. Don't weep for one whose spirit is alive.
You'd want your kite to celebrate and not just to survive."
Feeding the Pigeons
The following poem was written in honor of a colorful bag lady who once graced our town with her presence. Her name was Polly and though she owned no vehicle, she managed to be seen all over town. She told me, once, about all her cats and how she loved them. Her other passion was cigarettes. Her resilience fascinated me as she spent her days returning grocery carts left in the parking lots around town and talking to anyone who would listen.
Though the entire poem is written in a traditional rhyme scheme, it only seems tedious and humdrum until the man in the story meets a bag lady in the park. Her presence changes everything including the man's entire perspective on life itself.
He looked to the sky with his questions,
Released them like doves at a wake.
He looked to the pundits who toyed with the news, but
Their mortar rounds skewed the debate.
He looked to the campus for knowledge,
Mortgaged his life to the muse.
He looked to the sea for recovery and rest
Yet she pushed him right back toward the dunes.
He looked to his parents for guidance
To go where they never had been.
He looked to his kids for incentives
To do what meant nothing to them.
He looked to the forests that rushed past his view
Thinking, "Someday, those woods'll be mine."
Yet, someday, those woods might not even be there
And in fear he felt so rushed for time.
He looked to the birds for distraction
From worries he just didn't need.
He looked to the park bench to slow the world down
And a bag lady gave him some seed.
"Thank you," he said, trying not to sound trite
As he scattered seeds 'round like a child.
And then, "What a great day!" and he meant every word!
"You better believe it," she smiled.
"You live around here?" he asked awkwardly.
Her smile had revealed missing teeth.
"Yep. I got me a place 'ere on Second Street South.
The dang pipes froze up 'oh last week.
I come here to get me away from the crowds.
'Course, I ain't complainin' none though.
Why, I gets me a good meal least once't ever' week
And these pigeons here need me. Ya' know?"
"Hi, Polly!" another came greeting. They hugged,
And with chirping for music, they danced.
Why, the old "soft shoe" stage never had it so good.
The man watched in wonder, entranced.
"How could they possibly know how to laugh,
With all of their pain and rejection?
Yet, maybe it's laughter that acclimates love
And maybe it's love that protects them."
He gave her his scarf and some money to spend,
And somehow he felt much less hurried.
See, he'd met the "Queen of the Park" on that day.
He'd forgotten just why he'd been worried.
She was part of the earth, while he'd merely used it.
Sure. She lacked the Park Avenue grammar.
Yet, he envied the pigeons their caretaker friend,
Who'd adorned Central Park with such glamour.
Ring Around the Rosie
Hey, little boy in the sand box frame!
What are ya' tryin' to do?
Perhaps you're pretending to mold the good earth
Yet the earth is what's fashioning you.
"I had a dream last night."
"You did?"
"Yea. It's really weird to think what can
happen when you're mind isn't even turned on."
Hey, little lad with the grass stained knee!
Can you fathom the lure in your eyes?
You drift in and out of my bygone days
With the ease of a cloud in disguise.
"I know why they put skin over people's skeletons."
"You do?
"Yea! So they don't scare nobody."
Hey, little guy with the broken train,
Did ya' know you're the king over all?
You sustain the creation in subtle mores.
You beguile with one toss of your ball.
"Ya' know what, Mom?"
"What, son?"
"I'm gonna be the best boy in town!
What's at mean, anyhay?"
Hey little one in the glistening steel,
Does your armor oppress as you ride?
Have you clapped for the conquest
And cheered for the knights?
Have you bowed to the king for his bride?
"I think I know why we hear crickets in the daytime."
"You do? Why?"
"Well, maybe, 'cause it's still dark in China."
Hey, little boy at the captain's wheel,
Can we feel all the waves and the splashes?
I've forgotten that song about "Ring Around Rose".
Do you know what comes after the "Ashes"?
"Sure. Ashes come in with that Santa Claus guy.
That man that puts logs in the stockings.
The logs are them things that hold up the trees
That Santa knocks down when he's flocking."
"He's flocking the trees?"
"No. He's flocking the wings."
"Oh, you mean, 'Flapping his wings'".
"Mom. Santa Claus don't have wings!"
Hey, little kid with your silly old tricks,
Can we fly to the old rocking chair?
"Sure! I'll beam us right up like them Star Trekkie guys!"
We made it! Now, let's say a prayer.
"Is God in charge? Do He say His payers?
Could ja' tell Him to watch over me?
And, am I gonna' die?"
"No, not for so-o-o-o-o long."
"Ya' mean 'till next Christmas? Yipee!"
Good night now Son.
"Ya' know, in Heaven, if someone tried to kill ya',
It wouldn't hurt 'cause you'd already be dead!"
Good night now, hon.
"What did they use for space suits back when you was a kid?"
I'll tell you tomorrow. Good night little one.
"Good night little two."
Dream little boy with your mind on hold.
Are you drawn toward that mystic repose?
Wish I could indulge in the quest that's reserved
For the innocent child of the rose.
The Hand that Rocks the Cradle
I felt her sigh the other night and grieved her pain of burden.
The dreamer whom she'd sheltered now bred offspring disconcerting.
She'd guard her sudsy wishing well with rubber gloves allied.
And kitchened well her caffein keepsake, "World's Best Mom!" She'd tried.
On ballroom floor of no-wax sheen she swirled in gay charade
While broadcast beacon amplified the Oldies Hit Parade.
Potholder certificates hung stained respectfully,
Acknowledging her Servinomics subsidised degree.
Diploma drained investitures; Beatitudes embraced;
Her marketed annuities declined at shopcart pace.
Disposable; reusable; vacuumed frivolity;
While dust removal merged as the high priority.
Assimilated menus for a stay-press family
Collender creations stirred with prime-time pot-pourri.
With words they'd slapped her countainance.
Their mentor they'd unshrined.
Emotional upheavel stirred their false-start state of mind.
"How can she stand it here all day? Suburbia retreat."
She'd fostered flesh and harbored hearts and savored souls so sweet.
Sophistocated yearnings of a contemplative muse,
She loved being needed; justified being used.
Evaporated ego in an innovative stride,
The tear stung as it pierced beneath the pity of her pride.
She heard the car approaching,
Flung her tissues in the drawer.
"Dear God, Ya' know I love them!"
Then she hastened t'ward the door.
When I was growing up, I developed a very close relationship with a woman my mom's age, who lived in our neighborhood. One day when I was about eight years old, I stopped by for a visit and though the door was open, she didn't answer my calls. I saw no one in the kitchen so I walked into the living room, stopping suddenly upon hearing her crying. She was somewhere upstairs and I knew something was terribly wrong. I ran home to tell Mom, who went to check on our friend. When she returned, she told me that the lady had fallen down the steps and that she was going to be all right. Later I overheard my mom and my aunt referring to our neighbor as suffering from depression. I had no idea what that was but it hurt to know of this dear woman's sadness.
"The Hand that Rocked the Cradle" was written as a way of describing how sorrow can easily slip into a mother's heart. We seem to get the "roots" part of parenting more easily than the "wings". My neighbor was having trouble letting go of her children. I wish I had known about the poetry of Kahil Gibran at that time. I would have read his poem about children to her. Later, when the grandchildren arrived, my neighbor felt needed again and loved.
Too Long the Silent Hero
"Hi, Hon!" he called with familiar grin.
(That special smile donned to disguise;
To hide aches and pains that had followed him home
From that place that could be his demise.)
After twenty odd years of the workaday shift
He'd not used her to vent indignation.
He'd traded adventurous, dream world champaign
For his work-benched, refined arbitration.
He'd helped with the homework, the cub scouts, the games.
The kids thought he hadn't a worry.
He'd built a warm house with his own two, strong hands.
(The mortgage was due again Thursday.)
He'd promised some bunk beds, a gym set, a shelf.
She knew that someday they'd be done.
Yet his hands more importantly molded their lives,
And along with the work, he brought fun.
In order to rectify non-leasured days
The "alarm clock brigade" pays their dues,
So after the dishes were done and away
They retired to the six o'clock news.
"It was reported today," the newscaster had said,
"That a small child, while playing in his front yard,
Was viciously attacked by a huge German Shepherd.
The neighbors reported that a man seemed to jump
The fence from out of no where, and literally
Wrestled the dog to the ground where they struggled
Till police arrived.
Both boy and man are now listed in stable condition
At Seton Hospital......
In other news, the county commissioners......"
"Man! What a hero!" their eight year old said
As his Superman Action Figure zoomed past their view.
"Boy! I'd be too scared to do that! Wouldn't you Dad?"
"Oh, I'd be scared, all right," his father admitted.
"It's hard to understand
What makes a man willing
To give up his life for another."
Well, she understood.
She also knew there was more than one way
To channel your core with substance.
For "Hero" to her meant commitment,
With all of its tired yesterdays;
Abandoning self in exchange for the shoes
That could weigh a man down in dismay.
Perhaps the real glory
Should go to the dad
Who gives up his dreams, to be king.
She only could pray he'd been gratified too
For the powerful bond of the ring.
The China Doll Stage
The China dolls posed on the gaudy lit stage,
Waiting their turn to perform.
Their colorful skirts whirled mechanically round
In time with their will to conform.
Sue recognized some from her old high school days
And remembered some pain and resentment.
She'd never quite captured the art of disguise
And had always messed up on her entrance.
She then turned around in that torn cushioned seat
And she noticed the real play behind her.
A China fraternity party had formed
And the laughter had set her heart pounding.
Then one doll came down from that old wooden stage.
Sue knew she was headin' her way.
"Do you belong here?" the cheerleader asked.
Sue didn't know quite what to say.
Her small talk, she'd never perfected.
Her clothing was not quite in style.
She pushed her way passed their glaring eyed dance
And longed for the black, starlit mile
Away from unbreakable dolls of perfection.
So tired of the mind-numbing chatter
For all that she was, was never enough
And all that she felt didn't matter.
The Curator of Empty Spaces
The blank page
Wears a deceptive neutrality.
Words can impose themselves impulsively.
Absolutes metabolize in atoms informaticized.
Absolutes metabolize in atoms informaticized?
Without warning, nonsense syllables waltz between the lines.
Obsequious Demetrius
Impervious delirious
Funny things, words!
Syllabic utterances
Strung together like ornamental lights
Decorating, resonating phonemes.
We look at the world through semantical eyes
And it's constantly changing in hue.
Incongruous mysteries are truths in disguise
With an ambience quick to subdue.
My pencil scrolls earnestly and I indulge.
Divergent decisiveness stokes paper,
Squiggly lines sent by some secluded muse
Inspiring with irrelevance,
Ambivalent intelligence.
Sometimes we cling to illusions,
Eluding those worldly demands,
And sometimes the struggle's confusing,
But the soul recognizes a plan.
These syllabic strands of utterance
Scribe insistently and
I allow the interloper
His strange urges.
I'm dancing with an unseen partner
Who tells me to be gentle with my vigilance.
Don't worry that you're mostly empty space.
She who has a fleeting thought of the sublime
Touches upon her own divinity.
She who concretizes that fleeting thought,
Touches upon the divinity in others.
Words of wisdom waiting patiently
Or are these just fantasies?
Can a word replace a single blade of grass?
Sometimes I think just wanting to write is enough,
The aimlessness of my un-poem,
Energy in flux.
It's the nimble notions lost that keeps me focused.
It's the words I cannot find that call my name.
I am part of an intangible melody.
Which way to go?
Into the whispers or out to the world?
Back to the dreams or into the dance?
Hearing a story I won't understand.
An ancient novel in a timeless voice
With a universal cadence
Emanating subtle fragrance.
The drama/dance duality
Augments dimensionality.
Each wounding is an opportunity
To see beyond blame.
Each stroke of my pen a meditation.
It's a win-win situation, the way I see it.
As I am lifted higher by my unseen bard,
Isn't the entire universe rising?
And I've lost many poems to the postmen
Who march toward supply and demand
But my favorites still teasingly taunt me
Knowing things only they understand.
Too Full for the Well
I'm full of unshed tears for an ashen world,
Of songs unsung,
Trees unclimbed,
Roads not taken
And paths that may never cross again.
I'm full of oceans,
Salty air
And a longing for both.
Full of dreams still hiding,
Promises sliding
And apology-barnacles clutching my throat.
So full of regrets and
Of snapshot moments,
Mother's eyes,
A puppies love.
Depression's earthquake-rip.
I'm full of words,
Useless syllables I so long to weave.
Stories unwritten,
Poems unrhymed,
In that place where you should be,
Where I yearn for you to be.
If only I knew how!
If only I could trust!
If only ……
Good morning, Love. I'm here at the well.
Empty me.
Winter's Sweet Blue
She lay in idle knowing,
Wrapped in her pink blanket.
Such innocent eyes.
Those blue, euphoric beacons of complete love.
I longed to dissolve into their promise of the sublime.
I touched her hand
And became part of something so special.
Her smile came readily as she focused in on me.
I knew that soon
Her focusing would be
So much more attuned than my own.
I felt her love of me.
Me! With all my flaws and inconsistencies.
Her purity welcomed the sun's rays
As they sought her out.
"Oh, girl, just wait," I spoke in whispers.
"It'll be so Good.
I promise you that."
Now, how did I know?
Her delicate frame moved slightly
'neath the embroidered shroud
As she felt the Touch,
Allowed Mystery.
The nurse peeked in.
Time to leave.
"Time," I thought, "and no time."
I kissed her powder-soft skin and
Smoothed a strand of angel hair.
A tear spilled out.
"Love you, Mom."
I turned and left the nursing home
For one more day
morality's so heavy
morality's so heavy with exclusions.
While Spirit glows in all things, through all things.
morality's a doctrine of answers.
Spirit?...welcomes all questions.
morality basks in its history.
Spirit flows with the ever-changing "Is" of timelessness.
morality separates.
Spirit connects.
morality preaches.
Spirit listens.
morality says, "My way."
Spirit says, "Al-ways."
morality's temple's of brick and stone.
Spirit enshrines the boundless particles of Universal Energy.
morality worships "The Far Away".
Spirit honors "The Here And Now".
morality's "obedience" is Spirit's "compassion".
morality's "duty" is Spirit's "privilege".
morality dines in impeccable taste
While Spirit can feast on the curb.
And sometimes morality judges.
The Spirit?... Accepts all blame.
morality gives so that all might see,
Yet unseen, the Spirit offers.
morality dictates from the intellect.
Spirit sustains from the heart.
Oh, you'll often find them together.
They do so enjoy a good discourse at times.
Spirit says, "Hi! May I carry your load?"
"That's O.K." moral utters though strained.
"I've got it, thanks."
Changing the subject morality chimes,
"Let's go over there and teach them our ways."
Spirit responds, "Let's learn theirs."
Together, they watch an old man
Who carefully polishes the temple steps.
"Hey! Ain't you two gonna' give me no help,"the man teases.
Spirit kneels beside the worn figure.
In harmony, they buff the stones to a warm elegance.
morality stares in disbelief
Confused by the odor of sweat, and cheap wine.
With that the young man woke from his peaceful sleep
As the chill of evening dissolved His dreams.
Retrieving His staff and stepping back into his sandals,
He began the long trek downward.
And though the tired mortal descended to things undone,
His Spirit indulged in the blissful sunset.
Ribbon of Geese
Ribbon of geese
Wrapping the wind
Spiraling trails of cold-air coming.
I grieve in the wind-song of
Autumn in flight.
How can I smile in times such as these?
Children are dying.
Refugees crying white phosphorus tears.
I salute with my leaf-rake this brilliant orange sunset, these buglers' calls!
Bless the draped bodies our eyes cannot see.
Fly over the troops,
Victims of empire
Trained for the kill.
Sing them to peace.
My rake and I mourn
Scratching in rust tones
Longing for plowshares
Witnessing greed.
The Kite
It summoned Wind in silken thread,
Finessing zigzag currents.
It soared in twisting torrents
Toward its freedom ride.
It laughed in celebration
With the little boy below,
Whose taunting muscles shared the lift
And kept his kite in tow.
"Come, Boy!" it cried in wind-delight.
" Let's get above the grave."
It didn't understand the child
Who told it to behave.
Boy shivered mid the taut string breeze.
He held his dream at bay.
"You know not what awaits you
In the distant sea of gray."
The boy stood firm.
His eyes took flight
Upon this silk-winged, soaring sight.
"Let go!" The Wispy Wind swirled by.
"Your kite needs Father Sky."
"You promise life," The boy screamed out, "but how long can it fly?"
"Eternity knows not of time nor of the fear of dying.
You skillfully delivered flight. That's your ' idea' flying."
Then with a jerk the kite string snapped,
Relinquished to the breeze.
"Thank ya', Boy! The current swells!
It fills my ecstasy!"
With wounded heart the child stood watch.
An old man joined him there.
"I captured this on Polaroid.
Here, keep it in your care."
"Thanks," Boy sighed. He wiped a tear.
His photo-kite seemed proud.
He held the picture tenderly.
The stranger spoke aloud,
"It's O.K., son. Don't weep for one whose spirit is alive.
You'd want your kite to celebrate and not just to survive."

Users seem to rarely have any influence over the design of much custom software so it is possible to be in the situation where post-release no-one knows how the software is actually being used. Web analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Piwik provide a relatively cheap way for website based systems to get statistical information on entry and exit pages, durations of stays, repeat visits and so on. Sometimes though you really wish you could be standing behind the shoulder of a user and see what they are clicking on.
Recently I've been using Piwik, an open-source web analytics tool hosted locally, and its "Live Visitors!" tool to get a simple view onto this. In near real-time you can see the URL of each page a user visits pop up which you can then use to follow them with. Visitors are ordered from the top of the page by most recent hit on the site, whether the site was reached directly or if not the referrer site, then a marker for each page on the site that the visitor has hit. Hovering over the page marker will show you the URL.
Looking at the screen shots you can no doubt imagine how quickly one could get overwhelmed by lots of traffic, however the concrete trace of activity can provide a lot of clues beyond the other aggregate recordings.

Nzinga's Daughters
Nzinga's Daughters is an ensemble of women who share their gift of song and prose from the East Coast of the USA to the West Coast of Africa.
The Daughters perform for private and public school system, universities, senior citizen centers, festivals, community events and major arts and cultural venues in Connecticut, New England, and Ghana, West Africa. Their program includes a variety of African, Caribbean and African-American music, drumming, storytelling and poetry.
Nzinga's Daughters are best know for their "Underground Railroad" performance. They perform both adult and youth adapted versions. The program invites the audience to experience the creativity, ingenuity, and perseverance employed by African-American slaves in their efforts to shepherd runaway slaves to safety. Because slaves were prohibited from learning to read or write, they developed an elaborate system of communication which included embedding coded messages into the verses of Negro spirituals.
Children and family versions engage the audience with sing-a-longs and having performers act out stories or read a short excerpt about a relevant historic figure or event. Adult performances use more poignant vignettes of struggle and oppression to engage the audience.
Either performance is available to be booked at your location. Click here to book this dynamic and inspiring group at your next event. Click here to find out about their next concert.
Their summer concert "Music of the African Diaspora'' features some of the greatest performers in the Greater Hartford area as well as the entire East Coast. The Diaspora concert entertains, educates and builds awareness through multiculturalism and music. The music is rooted in African influences and represents the musical styles of Africa, Brazil, Afro Latin and West Indies. The audience will enjoy a rich blend of traditional and contemporary Gospel, R&B, Nostalgia, Pop, and Funk music performing songs with positive messages. The concert is a grant funded program and is held in different Hartford, CT venues in July and is free to all who would like to attend.

Food Cravings: Cause and Cure
By Laura Van Wert for HellaWella.com
We all have foods that turn on our cravings and hold onto our thoughts until we are satisfied (i.e., disgusted with ourselves and our poor food choices). And it's no surprise that we crave greasy, cheesy, salty or rich foods and not broccoli, kale or cucumber, despite some claims that cravings are brought on by deficiencies of that food's vitamins or minerals.
Understanding what goes on in our brains that cause psychological and physical cravings of certain foods brings us one step closer to learning how to disassociate the triggers from the cravings and better control what foods we put in our bodies.
Apologies for bursting your bubble, but our cravings are no different than that of Pavlov's dogs salivating at the sight of those technicians that fed them, according to David Kessler, the former Food and Drug Administration commissioner and author of "The End of Overeating." That trigger is known as a reward-processing activity.
Chemically speaking, dopamine triggered in our brains helps us experience pleasure, but also it ties into the way we learn and our memory. This is the important chemical step from "like" to "crave."
Cravings originate in our brains and become physical out of habit. That is to say that generally our bodies get used to consuming certain things, whether it's Friday night pizza for dinner, coffee at 8 a.m., popcorn in a movie theater or smoking a cigarette at a bar. Drugs are proof that of course physical addictions do exist, but for the majority of us, craving pizza does not come anywhere close to desiring alcohol, prescription medication or hard substances.
So how do we break this cycle? The best way to do so is to take care of ourselves and/or switch up our routines. Fill up on healthy foods, exercise and get plenty of sleep, but also pinpoint the behavior associated with the cravings. This means, like someone who quits smoking when they go to a bar might avoid drinking to the point of inebriation, someone trying to kick a nasty Friday night pizza habit might instead bring home groceries and start cooking before the exhaustion of the work week catches up to them.

Murray Dumped Over Playstation?
While Tiger Woods is having relationship problems due to spending intimate time with other women, British tennis ace Andy Murray problem's lie with too much time playing video games.
The Telegraph in the United Kingdom is reporting that Murray's split with girlfriend Kim Sears was partially due to too much time playing Playstation. Writes the Telegraph, "Sources close to Sears said one of the causes [of the breakup] was the world number four's long hours playing video tennis and PlayStation 3 games such as the best selling Call of Duty sequel. Brad Gilbert, Murray's former coach, has said in the past that Murray spends "seven hours a day" playing video games."
The U.K's tabloid newspaper The Sun quoted another source saying, "He would spend all his time glued to them (video games). In the end she just got fed up with it. She wanted more out of the relationship."

Civilians for the Kleine Krieg
I had these figures painted up weeks so (they featured in my last SP game) figured they better make it on the blog while I remembered them! This is a set of 8 civilian types to act as encounters, tasks or scenic items as required in my SYW skirmish games using Sharp Practice.
We have four members of the noble or wealthy middle class, one gent a younger lady, an older lady and a young lad playing soldier with a toy musket. There are also four members of the working classes, a fairly well dressed fellow with a barrel, a labourer with a sack of grain, a female servant with a platter of food and a young lad who is scampering like he's just played ring and run!
All but one of these figures comes from the Perrys AWI range (have I mentioned how much I love these figures recently). The style of dress maybe 20 years late for the SYW, but my research on Pinterest show that there was enough overlap that they work as well for c1760 as they do for c1780. The V&A is a wonderful source of info on civilian dress in historical times FYI. Having just checked my own link I've noticed I am missing a female servant with a broom who is painted but escaped my attention this morning. I'll check with Fischer's Chasseurs as being likely culprits.
Here's the adult well to dos. The odd figure who is not from the Perrys is the older lady in red, who participants in Curt's Painting Challenge may recognize. She is a specialty figure of Maria Theresa from Westfalia miniatures and Kawe produced her as a limit run give away or the participants in one of the most recent challenges. I carved away the orb and sceptre that the figure carries and I figure that she works exceeding well as a strong willed noble women of a certain age (think Bertie Wooster's aunts). She is by the way a lovely figure and I wish Westfalia did more mid-18thC types.
V&A pictures show that many fine clothes of the age would be cut from pattern cloths (typical florals) but I opted for solids as I didn't want the fuss of getting the impression of a floral print right. The colour that I use are based on real life clothes from the mid 18th century and the prints used were often subtle enough that they blend into solids from a reasonable distance.

Beulah Beacon News
Borner pleads not guilty
Court revisits Beulah shooting
Water ordinance moves forward
A new ordinance that deals with water and wastewater in the city inched forward Monday night (Dec. 2) after brief discussion by the Beulah City Council.
County approves met tower
Commission votes to suspend tent rentals
Plans heard for changes at Dakota Westmoreland
Last week Mercer County zoning commissioners heard plans from one of the oldest operating mines in the area, and the newest.
Copper tubing stolen over weekend
Sometime in the early hours of this past weekend, thieves broke the copper tubing off of two propane tanks behind Bronson's Marketplace and vanished into the night.
Crossfit finds approval on variance request
Aprogram that focuses on core strength and fitness has received the go-ahead from Beulah's City Council to temporarily occupy a building until its own structure is built.
Variance recommended for Roughrider Crossfit
A business focused on physical fitness and well-being passed the first step toward moving to a new location within Beulah last week.
Commission hears plans from Coyote Creek
Ordinance passes first reading
A water and wastewater ordinance is moving forward after Beulah City councilors held the first reading Monday night. Multiple revisions were brought up during the meeting, which will be applied to the ordinance for the second reading. In its draft form, the 13-page ordinance seeks to provide an overall update to the city water/wastewater ordinance, including water works systems, applications, rates and how and when water could be disconnected or discontinued to a location. After formally opening up the reading for discussion, the council dived into the topic. Councilors Roger Gazur and Clyde Schulz offered the most questions for the ordinance, highlighting old language they felt needed updating. Gazur focused first on installation and access, noting that there should be some rules that should govern each topic, before applying similar argument to further language. "What is a claim for defective service?" Gazur asked. "Insufficient water flow, insufficient water pressure, no water at all, all of the above?" He then moved on to ask about clarifying the language in sections regarding when water meters would be checked and how often, water/wastewater funding and fines. City Attorney Scott Solem stated that some of the fines that were listed dated back four decades. "There was a $5 fine for someone who breaks a seal in a water meter," Solem said. "Five dollars isn't going to discourage anybody. There's a $1.50 fine in here for something. We should take a look at the application fees, the deposits and the various fines. Brant (Keller) updated the rates, but other than that the most recent language is from the mid-1970s."
Get out your winter safety kit
Cold weather is creeping back into the state, and a recent presidential emergency declaration for southwest North Dakota is a stark reminder that winter is coming. Mercer County Emergency Manager Carmen Reed is aiming to remind residents of the importance of being prepared for severe winter weather, and just how to go about it. According to Reed, now was the time to get those winter safety kits checked and placed into vehicles.

The place I call home. There's nowhere quite like it.
Oh my heart.
At just about this time in 2009, a tiny little ball of fluff came to live with us through a local kitten foster program. He was afraid of everything from lightswitches to shower water, and he largely lived under our claw foot tub unless we had food or toys. For years, we spent most days trying to convince Angus to come out from under that tub and be our friend. And one day he finally did. The cat who started out as that scared ball of fluff suddenly became our best pal, waiting at the window, stealing your spot on the couch, and grinning from ear to ear when we had a stalk of cilantro or a can of tuna to crack for him. And then, this past week, we had to say goodbye. To say my heart is broken is an understatement, but while he's left behind a giant gaping hole in my life, my life is all the richer for having shared it with him for six short years. It wasn't nearly enough, but I'm oh so glad we got to be a part of his for any time at all.
Amsterdam has been my favourite place away from home for many years.
For almost five years I fostered cat-babies for the Ottawa Humane Society. We eventually had to stop because we adopted our sick cat Angus, but if we hadn't, I'm sure we would have continued with this program (and been at something ridiculous like 150 cats and counting).
Together, we've lived in 7 homes together in the last 10 years. Each one is unique, and I spent a lot of time over the years capturing the moments, the spaces, and the light (I always chose a home based on the light - let's be honest).

Wow. I'm not so sure how August went by so quickly, but somehow we're into September already. Sigh. I was hoping to hold onto summer a bit longer but it appears Fall has decided to come to the west coast without much warning. So many things happened this summer, especially in August, so I would like to share some of those with you! I'm finding it difficult to update the blog regularly with how busy I am, so you can expect small updates here and there, as I continue about my busyness. Here are a few things going on in my life:
Studio Work: I don't have a picture for this one, but this summer, I started working in the studio of Grace Lee of Eikcam Ceramics as a studio assistant! I've been wanting to work as a studio assistant for a while and this job just kind of happened upon me (God was working behind the scenes on that one!). I have never done ANYTHING with ceramics, so being hired was kind of a miracle and I feel so grateful for the opportunity to learn a new skill (all while being paid!). So far, it's definitely been a real learning curve- my hands are learning to work in ways they haven't before and I've made quite a few mistakes, but I'm confident it will become more natural the more I do. If you're interested in seeing some of Grace's beautiful pieces visit her website or follow along on instagram!
Illustration: I haven't been working as much illustration this summer while I've been focusing more on acrylic canvas paintings, but there have been a few projects on the go. I submitted a piece for Maker's Movement magazine which will be coming out in January. It feels really exciting to know that I will be seeing a illustration of mine in print for the first time. I have also been working on a submission for another print publication. At this point, it's just a possibility, but even the possibility feels pretty darn good. I have also received a few requests for commissions, but my calendar is still open, so if you would like to have a custom house portrait done or if you have another idea for commission, I'm all ears! Throw me your ideas and get on on the bandwagon. Hint: Christmas is a-comin'....
Paintings: I've been moving in a new (or old?) direction and working on a ton of paintings over the past while. I'm finding a whole lot of freedom in my painting days. After starting my 100 Day Project, I began to realize that I have missed expressing emotion through paint. I'm thankful that I felt nudged to start again. I've been experimenting a bit with combining watercolour and acrylic and I'm loving the effects that are forming. All of the current canvas pieces I'm working on are for sale and I'll be posting them in my shop as I get around to it. If you are interested in anything you see here or on my instagram, shoot me a line at email@example.com and I can give you the details.
100 Day Project: Speaking of my 100 day project...I've currently got some prints on order for the above paintings! They've been selling like hotcakes (and I'm not even sure what that phrase means). I've been taking pre-orders on these ones, but the listings should be going up in about a week in my shop. These are limited edition 5x7 prints which means that there will only be 10 prints made and once they are all sold, they will not be re-printed. They will be printed on 310gsm watercolour acid-free paper to have the same quality of the original painting. Each will be signed and numbered on the front. Please contact me if you would like to place a hold on one of these prints before they are listed in the shop!
Etsy: Other things selling around the Bottomley Cottage shop- these 5x7 Morning Glory prints and I just sent off another 8x10 Sailboat Print last week! One of my favourite things of the whole online shop process is packaging each print off to send. I'm always looking for new ways to make my packaging prettier - it makes it so fun to send out mail. Let me send you some mail- I'd love to do it! :)

A Life of Fostering
I fostered kittens from the OHS for more than five years - and for those of you (mostly me) looking for a reference guide, here's where you'll find it. You can read a little more about my foster experience, if you'd like, or you can just browse the whole slew of kitty photos over here! (I should warn you that there are more than 1000 carefully selected photographs over there so I hope you're not in a hurry).
Update: To help us recover from losing Angus quite abruptly and much too soon, we reunited with our love of fostering and helping animals. In mid-2015, we started fostering cats from Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue. While we help them to grow up and find families, these little furballls help our hearts feel less empty for at least a little while.
2015: Koda
2009: Miles & Ella (now Fern & Farley); Oliver & Ophelia, Reggie & Angus (who went on to become a part of our family <3 )

As for the album, tracking started in LA in August '16 with seven times Grammy winner, Jim Scott as engineer and producer. Scott's catalogue of hit albums and awards include the Rolling Stones, Tedeschi Trucks, Sting, the Chilli Peppers, Foo Fighters, Matchbox 20 and Crowded House. After initially making contact via his management Scott personally reached out to the band to confirm his interest and book the session. Bassist and co-songwriter Steve Portolesi rates this 6-day session in Scott's studio PLYRZ, in Valencia north of Hollywood, as the musical highlight of his career. "Jim is one of the most down to earth guys we've met, and considering his massive list of successful recordings I have to say it was totally refreshing. He knew how to create the perfect environment to get the best out of you both in performance and creativity...but still having time to eat, hang and chat...", Portolesi says. So after a brief 9-day trip across the pacific the album was tracked and it was back to Adelaide to finish editing.
To mix the album KINGS & ASSOCIATES secured the services of Nashville based Vance Powell, another industry legend and multi Grammy winner. Powell's credits include Grammys with the Dixie Chicks and Jack White and he'd just finished producing the breakthrough album for Chris Stapleton. So it was back to the States again to mix the album in Music City… this time the band used the trip to perform live including shows at the legendary Bourbon St Blues Club in Printers Lane Nashville, and a quick fire semi-final appearance at the IBC in Memphis representing ARBA….between tracking in LA and mixing in Nashville the guys had travelled over 34,000 miles in eight months to finish their album.
"Unlike Red Dress where we felt we were finding our feet stylistically, Tales is a lot closer to our hearts" says lyricist and vocalist Angie Portolesi. "This album was written for most from real life experiences…friends dying, relationships breaking up, overcoming personal tragedy, significant life changes, these are all the stories of our lives. These songs represent who we are today in so many respects, they speak back to us like kids, and we can say we're proud of them".
Producing and performing music is not the sole focus or motivation for Kings & Associates. In conjunction with their new album the band continues their relationship with global NGO World Vision. This partnership was birthed from the 2016 Red Dress album which was produced as part of World Vision's #nochildforsale campaign to help raise awareness of childhood sex slavery, specifically in Brazil. Kings and Associates have developed a close relationship with World Vision as a partner artist, the issue of sex slavery remains a driving passion for the band and a huge influence on their artistic direction. "We're not about bashing people on the head with a social message or pointing the finger" comments Angie. "Our time in Memphis and specifically our visit to the site of the shooting of Martin Luther King reaffirmed in us how slavery has been with us for generations and the impact it's had on humanity is something we need to continue to address. It's not about saying "there are the bad guys over there", but for us it's about saying what in my life allows the repressed of this world to remain enslaved".
Or on the night at the door.

The time rate of change of position of a body in a particular direction. Linear velocity is velocity along a straight line, and its magnitude is commonly measured in such units as meters per second (m/s), feet per second (ft/s), and miles per hour (mi/h). Since both a magnitude and a direction are implied in a measurement of velocity, velocity is a directed or vector quantity, and to specify a given velocity completely, the direction must always be given. The magnitude only is called the speed. See also: Speed

Também estou nesse ritmo de mudanças para uma vida menos sedentária. Infelizmente, em 1 mês de academia, caminhadas e arte marcial, já estou na minha segunda distensão muscular. É difícil se empolgar e não acabar exagerando. Mas acho que vale tudo a pena. Quando a gente se olha no espelho e vê os resultados é realmente maravilhoso, ainda que demore. Tem que ser paciente. Força! Beijos :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Nossa..espero que vc melhore logo e volte a sua rotina na academia..mais com cuidado!! hahaDelete
I am definitely in a similar boat as you are. I really need to get myself back in the gym and eating healthy. I have been eating food that isn't good for me and it is making me feel icky.ReplyDelete
