Treasurer Cowell's Statement on Governor's Bond Proposal
Raleigh, N.C. --North Carolina Treasurer Janet Cowell
issued the following statement on the Governor's transportation bond proposal:
"North Carolina has significant transportation
infrastructure needs that we must address in order to grow our economy.
According to the 2014 report of the Debt Affordability Advisory Committee,
which I chair, the state currently has over $1.2 billion in debt capacity for
transportation projects through 2017. There are various options available to
finance infrastructure projects, however we must choose a fiscally sound
approach that does not endanger the state's AAA bond rating. I look forward to
getting more details on this proposal."

Now you see it...Now you don't!
I am realizing that I either don't have an exciting enough life to blog often enough or I am too darn busy to be able to post a blog. Oh, how I want to post more often and to make my blog-site more purty, but alas, I am "over my head"!
Ok..so here it is! My eldest daughter 'sal' and I have discussed her getting her hair cut and donating her hair more than a year ago. Well the other day we saw a post about a girl who had donated her hair to Locks of Love . So, we did it! Ok, she did it! As a mom I feel it is one of the most noble things a child can do. I am very proud of her. It has been way too hot here anyway (it has been in the 90's consistently for too long) And the haircut was free at Fantastic Sam's, because it was donated! Cool, huh? Personally, I think the short hair makes her look so mature, but she's only 8. They cut a whole 10 inches! She has decided to do this every summer. Let it grow long in the winter and cut it short and donate it in the summer. I think I have been just as excited as she has been about the whole thing.
Well we also had my husband and my son's hair cut at the same time. My son who is 6 does not want to spike his hair or comb it to the side. He wants it short and combed straight forward. That kind of Cesar looking style...uugh! I cannot convince him or bribe him otherwise, darn it! I thought my 2 1/2 year old would fuss and want to get hers cut too. But she didn't say anything. Maybe the bowl of lolipops kept her occupied. My son and her promptly finagled one from the lady at the counter. Anyway it finally happened. She had been internalizing her desire for a hair cut. Today she did it...'the chop' ..... herself! She has such pretty blond curly hair and she wacked off a good chunk just above her bangs! She has left remaining a tiny, very tiny bit of bangs left, so I will attempt a 'comb over/back' for how many weeks?! So the really bad thing about it was that I was only about a foot or so away when it happened! Where the heck was I?! Now I know this has not happened to any of you moms! I was so...'Oh My Gosh, Oh Honey, What! Why?!' and she was so' I'm sorry mommy'.......Sigh.....'I forgive you sweetie'.... So, almost everyone in the family got haircuts this weekend some good, some bad and some ugly...hee..hee...not really, they are all beauties!

Oh yeah...remember that one well. Both my kids took scissors to their own hair..only once...you only need one hair disaster to curb the desire. What a wonderful thing your daughter did with donating hers. Great idea.
- sarahgrace said...
It sounds like the fascination with ones hair starts very early for girls! I know I cut my own hair, and definitely experimented with my sisters....hee hee hee (well, I laugh about it now...)
- Michelle said...
Virginia and I have read your blog together, and we are both laughing!!! OH man! Where is the picture of Cal? Where is the picture of Alice (as in disney! as if I'd give up that hope!) And I do think your posts are great and your life exciting. Anyway as my mom pointed out THESE ARE OUR BABY BOOKS to keep all these precious moments in while they grow up!
- Dionna Sanchez said...
Oh! I didn't get to your blog sooner but I'm so glad I got to see your daughter's haircut! I am so touched and proud that my daughter inspired your daughter in this way. I will read her your note and show her your daughter's picture tonight.
Our children have great big hearts, don't they? They can teach us so much.

Here's a clip from a British TV show - The Inbetweeners - that is a bit funny, but not so much when you think about it.
via videosift.com
If you are a guy, you no doubt have memories of having to go to the blackboard or stand up in class at the most inopportune time. Most of us weren't shamed by our peers -- our supposed friends -- the way Simon was in this clip. But there still was some sense of shame involved, especially for those of us who lacked good fathers who normalized such events as part of growing up.
As adults we now know that it was all about hormones, and that it didn't take a blond knockout flirting with us to create an erection -- our own natural levels of testosterone took care of things without any effort on our part.
It's easy to laugh at the events in the clip. Boys will be boys. And surely, many people believe that living through such teasing builds the thick skin needed to survive in the adult world. I'm sure that is partially true. And I am also sure that such shaming is damaging to a boy's self esteem. Let me explain, by taking a detour into myth.
The Parcival Myth of the Hero
I mentioned in a recent post that I was reading Moore and Gillette's (1990), King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine. They list four archetypes that boys move through (I'll blog more on this later), with the final stage being the Hero archetype. Teen boys need to see themselves as a hero of sorts, but the underlying process is the separation from the mother.
Joseph Campbell described the hero's journey as the monomyth. It is the essential initiation from boy psychology to mature masculinity.
One of the classic examples of the monomyth is Parcival. Following his father's death, the boy is raised by his mother. So already we have the hint of his quest, a search for the masculine within his psyche that the absent father was not there to mentor in him. Many of us have grown up with absent fathers, either literally (mine died) or figuratively in that they worked so much they were seldom present.
Campbell held that numerous myths, from disparate times and regions seem to share a fundamental structure. This fundamental structure contains a number of stages, which include:
- A call to adventure, which the hero has to accept or decline
- A road of trials, which the hero must fail or overcome
- Achieving the goal or "boon", which often results in important self-knowledge
- A return to the ordinary world, again which the hero can succeed or fail in achieving
- Applying the boon, in which what the hero has gained can be used to improve the world
In a well-known quote from the introduction to The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Campbell wrote:[4]
A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.
The classic examples of the monomyth relied upon by Campbell and other scholars include the Buddha, Moses, and Christ stories, although Campbell cites many other classic myths from many cultures which rely upon this basic structure.
As he becomes an adult, Parcival kills the Red Knight and takes the knight's woman as his own. But adventure calls and he leaves her to chase down the Holy Grail. This is a form of immature masculinity. It is not until much later, in King Arthur's Court that he receives the mentoring he needs to enter into mature masculinity.
In an older version of the myth, Parcival is unable to heal the wound of The Fisher King because he was still under the influence of his mother, and he lacked the power of his own masculine assertiveness.
Many teen boys are struggling with similar issues at an unconscious level. They are at a pivotal point in their development. They need to break free from the realm of the mother so that they can enter into their own manhood, but many lack the father figure to help them make that transition. Without that mentoring, there is shame about those things we don't understand, fear about who we are, and doubts about our own powers as men.
This lack of guidance has immediate and long-term impacts on young men.
Angry Young Men
What we are seeing a lot more of these days is what Time Magazine calls Angry Young Men.
[Psychologist] Michael Currie has worked with adolescent boys and their families for 20 years. Much of his attention has centered on the anger that can consume boys during their high school years. Manifesting in the home as sullenness, disobedience and fierce assertions of independence, teen rage confuses and distresses parents, who often make matters worse with their clumsy, if well-meaning, attempts to address it.Currie explains a little about how he defines adolescent anger.
Anger is made of two components: one is an idea that there's something wrong, two is that someone else is to blame. The difference in adolescence is the struggle behind the anger. The teenager is trying to grasp the responsibilities and freedoms that come with entering the second epoch of life — that between childhood and adulthood. His identity is fragile, and it can be inevitable that anger comes with that.Without the crucial and difficult container that a strong masculine father can create, boys end up feeling lost and that sense of fear becomes anger. I don't blame men for being bad fathers. Most men with kids these days lacked adequate fathering themselves, so they did not have the needed model to learn from.
If we can view the teen years in boys as a kind of heroic quest (for mature masculinity), it becomes a little easier to see how we need to assist them in this quest. They need mentoring; they need permission to make mistakes; and they need boundaries that cannot be violated. While it may be difficult to watch a son pull away and become more independent, the important thing to realize is that when his quest is completed he will return, as a man.
If our boys lack the father-figure they need, there will be shame that damages self-esteem and there will be anger that covers over their sense of being lost and afraid. I went through a lot of this in my own life, and I acted out in every way imaginable.
I think I may have rambled here a bit, but I hope I made a little bit of sense.

On the slopes of the picturesque Požega Valley where the stunning mountain ranges shield the valley from the changeable weather, hard-working people are making good use of natural resources and grow agricultural crops which from an integral part of the area's heritage. This is the area where the Grbić family makes one of Croatia's most famous pumpkin oils.
The company Grbić d.o.o. was founded in 1990 and it started making pumpkin oil in 2001. Although they own about 250 hectares of agricultural land, they produce pumpkin oil on about 350 hectares and land owned by contractors. Their area of 2500 hectares serves around 80 family farms through cooperative production and are today the largest pumpkin oil producer in Croatia. They produce about 45.000 litres of oil per year. The oil is obtained from the best seeds which have been produced in an controlled environment with the help of cutting-edge technology and nature. Oil is both hot-pressed and cold-pressed.
The company Grbić d.o.o. has a organic certificate for the production of food and agricultural products as well as HACCP and HALAL certificates for the production of pumpkin oils. It's said that pumpkin oil is a health elixir because it functions as an antioxidant in the organism. In addition to pumpkin oil, the Grbić company also produces food products such as home-made mlinci (traditional dried flatbread prepared by boiling), seed production of wheat, soya beans, corn, spelt, barley and oat.

Kristian Jønsson – Head of Growth at Sleeknote – är en digital specialist från Danmark. Vi passade på att fråga honom vilka digitala trender han ser framför sig under 2018. Vi har valt att ta det på engelska för att undvika språkförbistringar.
1. Level-up Your Email Marketing with Advanced Personalization
I think something that a lot of marketers are missing out on when it comes to exploring technology to increase marketing efforts is email marketing automation. Now, email marketing automation isn't new, but I see over and over again that marketers don't take full advantage of the potential this technology holds.
For instance, with the advanced technology we have today, it's possible for marketers to create more personalized email campaigns than ever before. So instead of just sending the same automated emails to your entire list, you need to put much more work into segmenting your email list into small segments based on demographics and psychographics. Then you can create highly personalized email campaigns based on the interests and needs of these segments. This will not only build a stronger relationship between you and your customers but also increase your email marketing ROI. We've done this at Sleeknote, and our email engagement has improved immensely.
2. Track and Predict User Behaviour With Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are major trends to look out for in 2018. One thing I'm sure we'll see more of in 2018 are chatbots. Chatbots on all types on websites can help businesses improve their user experience, and free up more time for customer service teams for instance. With AI and Ml chatbots will become more intelligent and be able to handle complex inquiries based on a customers previously input questions, answers and behaviour. Just look at Netflix, who's already using AI to make recommendations to users based on their previously watched movies and series. Also, at Sleeknote, we've developed an algorithm that continuously tests different triggers based on our best practice to find the ideal trigger with the highest conversion rate for your popups. The longer the feature is activated, the more intelligent it becomes. It's all about taking advantage of the technology available and test how you can use it to your advantage.
3. Use Detailed Buyer Personas to Make Smarter Marketing Decisions
If you haven't created detailed buyer personas yet, you should definitely do it for 2018. A buyer persona is a composite sketch of a key segment of your audience. Many businesses know who they want to target, but few know who are actually buying their product. That's why buyer personas are so important for any business nowadays. Your buyer personas will be the foundation for almost any business decision you make. When developing new products, marketing a new feature, advertising a sale, optimizing your website, your buyer personas should be the key influencer. This way you'll ensure your efforts pay off because you know exactly who you're targeting, and it's not just based on an assumption of who you think your audience is.
4. The Future of Online Payment: Digital Wallets
Digital wallets should also be part of your digital marketing strategy in 2018 if you work in e-commerce. The millennial generation have massive purchasing power online, and if this generation is part of your target audience, digital wallets are the way to go. This digital generation is advancing alongside technology and by adding digital wallets as payment methods, you're not only giving people more payment options, you're also showing that you're staying on top of new trends and keeping up with technology making you business more attractive to this generation.
5. Go Viral with Content Marketing
Lastly, content marketing shouldn't be forgotten. It's been here for a while, and it'll continue to be one of the most effective marketing strategies in 2018. Especially video content and podcasting have grown in popularity and will continue to do so in 2018. Podcasting is the ultimate "on-the-go" media because you can listen to it when driving to and from work, when shopping or cooking, and so on. We've seen the podcasting success first-hand with our own marketing podcast: E-Commerce Boost. Both videos and podcasts are highly shareable types of content, making them very effective to use in marketing to drive more traffic, higher conversion rates, generate awareness, and much more.

Had a weird dream last night:
Was at my paternal grandparents' apartment – which didn't look like their apartment at all – to visit my grandfather, who has been dead since 1999. As far as I understood he came back to life when my grandmother died (2004). When I checked the apartment for him, he wasn't there, but instead I went outside and up the stairs to another apartment. There he was sleeping in a chair. I woke him up and helped him walk over to the dining area.
My grandfather was very together, totally different from his last years, because at 91 his brain was tired and non-cooperative.
All I can remember is putting my hands on his arms and he smiled.
Then I woke up.
Seems I wasn't the only with a weird dream, Jennifer posted hers here.
Anyone out there who can shed a light on an interpretation of my dream?

Another mysterious parcel arrives
I have received today a parcel of scrapbooking goodies from Michelle Hernandez of Brooklyn New York! If you read this Michelle can you explain what I won or if any one else knows what site she is on, please tell me. There was no note enclosed saying what the prize is for. However I much appreciate all those lovely goodies.

Hanging baskets are a great way to dress up your yard and garden. Not only do they add color and interest, but because ornamentals, herbs, and vegetables can all be successfully grown in them, hanging baskets are also an excellent way increase your available planting space.
It is always a good idea to select the biggest basket you can for your space. Bigger baskets, from 14 to 16 inches, are generally easier to care for. Use a 20-inch half-basket for mounting on walls, as you will lose significant space one you fill it will lining material. Baskets 12-inches and smaller will dry out much faster and do not provide as much space for plant roots.
There are two styles of hanging baskets-open framework and solid. Each has its pros and cons. An open-style (wire framework) basket offers a great planting area, which may ultimately be more attractive because they can house more big plants. Solid-style baskets do not need to be lined and may retain moisture longer, but offer less planting space. There are also self-watering styles available.
Sphagnum moss is the traditional material used to line open-framed hanging baskets, but it is not the greenest option. Harvesting peat bogs can cause a great deal of long-term environmental damage. Better options include hay or straw, pine boughs, wool from old sweaters or pants, or recycled alternatives like "mock moss", which is made from a combination of wool and coir.
The growing medium used in baskets should be light, but it still needs to be able to retain some moisture. Use a soil less mix with a small amount of potting soil and compost mixed in to improve fertility and moisture retention.
The best basket combinations are those that combine trailing and upright plants. Ornamentals should be spaced every 2-4 inches apart in every direction, and vegetables and herbs according to directions. When planting your hanging basket, place it on a pedestal so you can see how the plants look from every angle.
Watering: Sun, wind, and many plants growing together in a small space can result in baskets drying out quickly. Water well and water often. Unless your hanging basket is self-watering, plan to check moisture levels daily. Remember, even in wet weather, a basket hanging under the eaves of your house is not likely to receive adequate water. A watering can with a long spout or a garden hose attachment like a water wand makes watering much easier.
If your basket dries out, you may be able to revive it by submerging it in a bucket of water, and allowing it to absorb as much moisture as possible. Use a swivel hook and rotate baskets frequently to make sure plants get even exposure to available light.
Feeding: Tomatoes and flowering ornamentals need weekly feedings. Use a high-potash liquid organic fertilizer. Herbs will get by fine if fed twice monthly with an all purpose organic liquid fertilizer.
Deadheading: Removing spent blooms regularly will help prolong the life of your display and give you the opportunity to check for insect problems.

This was a very informative article. I don't have much space to garden & was planning to use more containers this year -especially for veggies, but I'll probably use some hanging baskets for Lettuce now too, since I've read this article. Thanks.

Ever since it started showing up at the Westport Farmers' Market, I am slowly but surely getting addicted to the "Nit Noi" lifestyle!
I go to the market every Thursday. I eat some Boxcar Cantina tamales for lunch as I sip some of Donny Raus's Cold Roman. I do some food shopping, and say hello to friends I come across. And I always …. always head home with some yummy takeout noodle soup from Nit Noi Provisions. Dinner that night, is sure to be a breeze because alI I have to do is heat up the bone broth that comes with my Nit Noi order… and simply pour it onto the chicken, noodle and bok choy mix that comes in a separate container (to maintain its freshness). Voila! A healthful dinner is served.
A bit of googling revealed that Not Noi is Thai for "a little bit". And while this stuff may look like a little bit to some, I can assure you that it makes for a sizable single serving and packs a whole LOT of goodness in it. The broth is a classic bone broth made with pasture-raised animals and organic vegetables sourced locally and sustainably. Anytime I eat something that is prepared with so much passion and conscience, it gives me that much more pleasure consuming it. Don't you feel the same way?
Often times soups end up being too oily and salty. This bone broth is simple and homestyle. It does not feel heavy of fatty. The seasoning is perfect! It's great for when you are feeling a bit under the weather. It's clean flavors are perfect for summer or cold winter months. It's a great option for dinner on demand – because it's ready when you are! It comes as chicken, pork or vegetable base. You can opt for fish sauce or soy seasoning in your broth. You can pick your spice levels. You can further jazz it up with some Thai fried garlic or Thai chili oil – both available on the side. The chicken and veggies for the soup come fully cooked, all you need to so is add them to the broth when its time to serve.
Nit Noi offers cold broth soup as well as some noodle dishes. I have yet to give those a try. They also offer some pre-ordering options on their website. Give it a try! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
PS: Nit Noi Provisions is not a brick and mortar business. They pop up from time to time at local businesses (Wave Hill Breads in Norwalk, or Bar 'Bucha in Westport etc) and are a permanent fixture at Westport Farmers' Market.

Moment of Abstract
Howdy! How is everyone doing? Well, I myself have launched a mass cleaning on my room. I already threw away three bags of junk - yahooey. While I was jogging this afternoon I envisioned my new CD cover, so I am inspired to focus and finish it. Can't die with my music and art in me. You never know when the death ghost will appear. I've linked Lenny Kravitz's Fly Away to this posting. Nighty night. xxxoo
Moment of Abstract
Moment of abstract
A complete lack
Of my mind registering unclear

Already 21 mistakes
Leaving permanent scars with
No way to erase

Diamond Eye
Hola! I'm going to work on setting up my studio a wee bit more tonight, so I'll keep my posting short. Buenos Noches.
By the way, I've linked a live version of Led Zeppelin - Black Dog to this post. Nighty night. xxoo
Diamond Eye
Peering into the strange future
Which contains
Successes and bloopers
Landing on a squeamishly small
Remote tropical island
Lined with palm trees
Encrusted with a variety of diamonds
Blinded by the brilliant facets
Shut your diamond eye
And swiftly swim
Into the swallowing sea

Life's Labyrinth
Hi Everyone! I know it has been a few days since I posted, but I've been teaching everyday and then gigging in the evenings and
fighting a stomach bug. I'm so happy to have an evening at home - yeah. I watched the previously record Project Runway from last Thursday. This Thursday is the final Thursday jam at the Redline before they close the club. I'll be playing with Tim Turner and Billy Spaulding. Come on down and jam!
My link features one of my favorite performers - David Bowie in Labyrinth - Magic Dance
Life's Labyrinth
Traveling life's labyrinth
While balancing on a skateboard
Pumping through corners
At break neck speeds
Years whizzing bye
Two steps forward
Ten skips back
All I can do is sit right down and laugh
Mountains or molehills
Sometimes pleasant scenes
Trying to make it to the end
With a modest amount of
Scrapes and screams

Broken Shell
Hi everyone! My inspiration for my blog tonight is a broken shell that is sitting on my bed table. Okay, I'm going to get back to cleaning and writing a song. Nighty night. xxoo My link tonight - Mr. Mister - Broken Wings
Broken Shell
Broken shell
Left in my hand
What sounds do you voice
What is my choice
Sounds of moving waves
Or a lover's lost cry
There is a unique beauty
Expressed through your broken side
Granting one to see
Deep inside
Where true beauty resides

Riding a Red Tire
Hi everyone! Whelp, I had my longest day of teaching today, but I want to post my blog tonight since I missed my posting last night due to getting lost in a creative moment. I love this song: Sinead O'Connor - Last Day of Our Acquaintance. Nighty night. xxoo
Riding a Red Tire
Riding a red tire
Deep into a smoldering fire
Smells a little like burning cyber
Time to run this beachcomber
South against the wind
Jumping face first
Into a sideways swim
Along an untamed coast
Ending in an upside float

Mirror of the Backwards Show
Hi everyone! I had a fairly relaxing day today. I even took a nap - yeah! I'm still working on getting my studio set up - maybe one to two more weeks at the most, and then I can start creating some tunes on the the computer - ohh oohh. My mind is in a creative mode, thinking up things in the subconscious, so I'll keep this short. I've linked a really cool live version of U2's
'Where the Streets Have No Name.' Enjoy! Nighty night. xxoo
Mirror of The Backwards Show
Looking in the mirror of the backwards show
You observe what you see
But you never know?
Time is time
Till you walk in free fall
Removing most of what you heard
Was it backwards from what you learned?
Listening to what you see
Can you hear?
This comes after the known is unclear
Stripping your life down to a very fine thread
Do you see from what you feel?
Would it make you cry?
If you feel from what you see,
Will it make you die?
Meeting my soul will have to wait
Thin glass walls are made to break

Red Road of Survival
Hi everyone! I'm feeling a little blue tonight, because it is my last night to hang with my son before he heads back to college.
I guess I'll have to torture my cat now. I love pulling her tail, hee hee. I linked The Beatles, 'Long and Winding Road,' to this posting: Long and Winding Road
Nighty night. xxoo
Red Road of Survival
Red road of survival
Lead me to abundance
Lead me to peace
Lead me to a land filled with kindness
And a friendly face
Lead me to friends who are true
Lead me swiftly to a quiet place
Where my soul can renew
Lead me to where
I will never forget
My attitude of gratitude
Lead me to my highest goal
Unconditional love for all

Depending on
Which mental garden you stroll
The high priestess cries

9/11 -
Hi Everyone, I missed the past few days of posting due to my illness. I played a gig while feeling sick Friday night, and it plunged me into Theraflu - antihistamine land. I'm way too spacey to write while medicated, so I had to take a break. I actually had a couple of nights/mornings of five to six hours of sleep - record breaking for me. I really wanted to post on 9/11 in remembrance of the suicide attacks by al-Qaeda in 2001 on the Twin Towers in New York City and on the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. The poem which I'm posting I wrote in 2001 as lyrics for a song in response to the 9/11 attacks. I've recorded the music, but I've never added the lyrics. Maybe someday? I have the instrumental version of the song on my 'I Like You' CD - titled - Sleepless Dream. The illustration I created tonight. Hopefully I'll get back on track with my nightly/daily postings.
Has anyone else created or done anything in remembrance or reacting to the attacks of 9/11/2011?
Nighty night. xxoo
Mozart's Requiem is linked to this post.
Sleepless Dream
I had a sleepless dream last night
Filled with fear, filled with fright
I had a sleepless dream last night
Human suffering was visualized
Towers crumbled, lives were lost
Many hearts were crossed
Morning skies
Drenched in flames
Evil played a vicious game
Cruel actions never justified
Peace has all but died
I had a sleepless dream last night
Filled with fear, filled with fright
I had a sleepless dream last night
Human suffering was visualized
Cover us with arms from above
Shield us with motherly love
Vigilanties are heroes tonight
Bodies prevail the night
I had a sleepless dream last night
Filled with fear, filled with fright
I had a sleepless dream last night
Earthly peace has died

Lines of Madness
Hi Everyone, I've linked Peter Frampton, 'Lines On My Face,' as my tune for this posting. I actually wrote this poem at my gig last night, Redline with Tim Turner and Billy Spaulding, but I could only read half of my "doctor's" handwriting today. Home setting up my studio tonight, yeah, so much to do and so little time. Have a nice evening. xxooo
Lines of Madness
Lines of madness
Running through our genes
Create strange imaginings
From beginning to end
Trapped in a labyrinth
Of snake like coils
Exhausted in archaic
Designed deep within
Calling out in subdued
Whale like tones
Lines of madness
Nobody home

Infinity Disputed
Hi Everyone! I taught a ton of lessons yesterday, hiked 3 miles, and then my son and I made some great progress moving and cleaning the studio room. One week left till Michael, my son, goes back to school, so we are really pushing ourselves to get our goals done. Well off to teach a few lessons and hopefully practice a bit today. Have a nice day! xxoo p.s. I linked the Galaxy Song - Monty Python - The Meaning Of Life, since it seems to go with my poems theme.
Infinity Disputed
Subconscious throwbacks
Rocketing up from the thigh
Pirouetting and sashaying
From side to uneven side
The universe expands
To a mutated size
Infinity disputed
Accompanied by a C clef tune

At some point in time
Will begin to contract
With the forever changing tides

Elementary or Obvious
Hi everyone! Happy Labor Day! Devo's 'Whip It' is linked to the title of this blog posting. I had a fun gig last night playing at the Lighthouse in Des Moines with Tim Turner and Billy Spaulding. I sang and played on the acoustic guitar, 'I Started a Joke." I'm finally feeling better, yeah. Off for a hike and organizing my studio area. Have a nice gray day! xxoo

Tangy Toodles
Hi everyone! I finally got some rest today, yeah! It was a bit antihistamine inspired, but hey, I should be back to normal in a couple of days. Friday night's gig with Tim Turner at the Wild Vine was fun even though I was totally out of it. I just have to muster up enough energy to make it through my gig tonight at the Lighthouse in Des Moines with Tim Turner and Billy Spaulding. I enjoyed watching two of the previously recorded Project Runway episodes last night, since I play a gig on Thursday nights when the show is aired. It is sunny in Seattle, so I'm going to take a walk today! Have a nice day! xxoo
Tangy Toodles
Tangy toodles
Disappearing quickly

Emancipation is desired
Maybe only occurring

Blue and Purple Monster
Hi Everyone! Home from my doctor appointment. I only have bronchitis and not pneumonia - yeah! Played with Tim Turner and Rick Spano last night at the Redline in West Seattle. I guess the Redline will be closing at the end of September. I'll be playing a gig tonight with Tim Turner at the Wild Vine in Bothell/Mill Creek area. Have a nice day!! xxoo

Connecting The Dots
Hi Home from teaching lessons and then playing a gig at the Pike Place Bar & Grill with Tim Turner and Billy Spaulding. Musically it was a fun gig. Physically it was a bit painful due to this chest cold/flu body achy thing. I hope it doesn't turn into pneumonia. I'm starting to chronically cough, but I do have a doctor appointment tomorrow where I'm sure the doctor will clue me in. This guitar player about 15 years ago down when I lived in the Bay Area turned me onto this song, Duran Duran's Ordinary World.
I really like the universal message of this song.
Connecting The Dots
Connecting the dots
Of have and have-nots
Closing my eyes
To the whys?
Realizing and interfacing
Creating a new landscape
Of future possibilities
An escape route
Which will lead
Away from
The negative limitations of my
Ego daresay

Saturday night at Howelsen Hill (also downtown) is the infamous light show, put on by the skiers and riders of the world-renowned Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club. They'll do torchlight and glowstick parades, fiery hoop jumps, fireworks, and finally the Lighted Man. He's a long-time local, covered in Christmas lights, with flames and flares shooting from his body, as he skis down the black-diamond face of Howelsen.

I am a law abiding and responsible gun owner, and I try to make people aware of the 2nd Amendment. Since I live in California, it is often very difficult to comply with gun-related laws because they are so restrictive. The government officials do not seem to understand that criminals NEVER follow gun laws, no matter how many are created and imposed. So, by definition, gun laws apply only to those people who would not commit crimes in the first place. I strive to make my guns and the guns ... Read More »

Yet, a few days ago, the theatre's Board decided that Emma's work didn't correspond to their conception of the Globe's mission. Her recent productions and their use of a brand new lighting rig and amp sound system were deemed to distract the Globe from its purpose:

Using a gliobastoma orthotopic xenograft model (athymic nude rat from Envigo), investigators sought to evaluate the efficiency, and safety of miR inhibition using convection-enhanced delivery (CED) of an anti-miR. In vivo, the authors targeted a well-validated mIR (let-7a) via administration of anti-let-7a by CED into orthotopic T87-derived tumors. After one month of infusion, tumors were removed and tumor mRNA levels of the target-gene High-mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) were determined. The authors found that levels of HMGA2 in the tumor were significantly de-repressed in the anti-miR treated animals, and anti-miR integrity was preserved in the pumps and no animals showed signs of severe adverse effects attributable to the anti-miR treatment. Thus, the authors conclude that these initial proof-of-concept data should be advanced further by using CED for delivery of key oncogenic miRs.

In a recent study, investigators used male athymic nude rats (Hsd:RH-Foxn1rnu) (athymic nude rat from Envigo) with intracranial glioblastoma xenografts to assess tumor response to interstitial photodynamic therapy (iPDT), a site-specific tumor treatment technique that uses laser fibers inserted directly into the depth of the tumor. Rats were injected with AGuIX® nanoparticles (which encapsulate the photodynamic therapy (PDT) and imaging agents) prior to iPDT treatment. Tumor response to iPDT was monitored using non-invasive imaging techniques. Specifically, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) were used to follow-up on post-treatment effects over time. Overall, the authors found that conventional MRI, T2 star (T2*), Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI), and MRS were all able to extract relevant profiles on tissue cytoarchitectural alterations, local vascular disruption, and metabolic information on brain tumor biology. Together, these markers helped achieve earlier assessment of tumor response. Notably, after only one day post-iPDT, DWI and MRS successfully identified several promising markers, such as Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) values, lipids, choline and myo-inositol levels, which permitted the researchers to distinguish iPDT responders from non-responders.

The Ultimate Guide to Understanding
Big Data
Introduction to Big Data
Smart phones, computers, smart watches, connected cars—we live in a world where almost everything pumps out information about hardware performance and owner use on a continuous basis. From the amount of steps you take in a day, to the distance you travel to the nearest gas station, to the number of minutes you spend on your favorite app, the amount of data you consciously or unconsciously produce is truly colossal, and it's only getting bigger. In fact, we've created more data collectively in the last five years than in the entire history of humankind before then.
But what are the implications of producing and storing data faster and to such exaggerated ends? Who would want that data? And why do we use it?
Welcome to the world of big data. Let's take a look at how this concept has affected us until now and how it will continue to shape our new "normal" forever.

We all know 'Music from Big Pink' by The Band. What about 'Music from "Lil Brown"' by Africa?
A few weeks ago—I recall the date exactly, as it was my birthday, so October 25th—I went downstairs at Shake It Records in Cincinnati, to their vinyl section, known as "Billy's Basement." A song had just started on the stereo: a slinky Latin-tinged psychedelic soul cover of the Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black." As it went on, and on—it's 7:35—I fell deeper and deeper under its jammy hypnotic conga drum-led spell. Not to imply any sort of improvisational looseness to the proceedings. The musicians were clearly professionals, the music was well-rehearsed and it was entirely planned out, not spontaneous in any true sense. It wasn't like some hacky sack hippie jam band covering the Stones, but it wasn't entirely obvious what it was. Or what vintage it was either.
"WOW! WHAT IS THIS?" I asked of Billy.
"It's something called Music from "Lil Brown" by a group called Africa" he explained. "It's obviously some sort of goofy reference to Music from Big Pink. Look at the album art." He held up the cover and indeed on the front cover was a direct homage to the (Milton Glaser-designed) back cover of The Band's album. On the back was a child's drawing that echoed Bob Dylan's Big Pink cover painting. The gatefold featured a group shot of assorted friends and family members labeled "Next of Kin" (another Band reference) and as if all that wasn't crystal clear enough already, in tiny text at the bottom it read:
"Any similarity to any other album package was purely calculated and our thanks to all those concerned. Be sure and listen to the Band SKAO2955."
The next song was a cover of the Doors' "Light My Fire." The first song on side two was a medley of Bobbie Gentry's "Ode to Billy Joe" and "Louie, Louie" by the Kingsmen!!!
The record was still sealed—he'd been listening to it on YouTube trying to figure out what it was so he could put a price on it—and he priced it at $50. Normally I try to keep a lid on my vinyl purchases and cap it at $30 per record (a two-record set can sell for $60 and I can still justify the expenditure in my fevered, Gollum-esque brain) but this was actually a bargain for this sucker—$50 and up for a decent copy on Discogs and this was sealed and IT WAS MY FREAKING BIRTHDAY so yes, that record—MY PRECIOUS—is now MINE ALL MINE…
I didn't care how much it cost, frankly.
Africa was comprised of some musicians who longed worked together, mostly as performers in various Los Angeles-based doo-wop groups, with names like the Valiants, the Electras, the Alley Cats, the Del-Mars, the Ring-A-Dings and the Untouchables. Brice Coefield, Chester Pipkin, Ed Wallace, Freddie Wills, Gary Pipkin were aided in their music making by Mamas and the Papas producer Lou Adler (who would, of course, go on to release records by Cheech & Chong and produce Carole King's Tapestry and The Rocky Horror Picture Show) who brought in a mobile recording unit to their little brown rehearsal space in the Baldwin Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles.
There isn't much more information out there about Africa, but the following was found on Marv Goldberg's R&B Notebooks:
"Finally, in late 1968, they all became the soul group Africa, recording for Lou Adler's Ode label (a subsidiary of Columbia). Africa consisted of (in various combinations): Billy Storm, Brice Coefield, Rip Spencer, Chester Pipkin, Gary Pipkin, Ed Wallace, Billy Mann, and Freddie Willis (second tenor/baritone).
The recording group, however, consisted of Brice Coefield (who does all the leads), Chester Pipkin (who also did the arrangements), Gary Pipkin, Ed Wallace, Freddie Willis, and Billy Storm, who shares the lead on "Here I Stand" (a song he wrote), They recorded eight sides for Ode, which were released on an album. "We used to rehearse at Gary Pipkin's house and he had this little brown shack, a playhouse in the backyard, for his kids." So, probably as a tribute to The Band's recent album, Music From Big Pink, they decided to name the album Music From 'Lil Brown'. (Strangely, Africa's name didn't appear anywhere on the outside of the album.) Lou Adler got a mobile recording studio, and the tracks were mostly recorded at Gary's house. A large mural of Africa's photo was painted on the outside of the Whiskey à Go Go on the Sunset Strip in order to promote the album; it remained there for several months.
Five years later, Africa recorded ten more tracks for MGM, but all remain unreleased.
Music from "Lil Brown" has never been (legally) released on CD. It should be. In the meantime the wax needs to be in the collection of every self-respecting DJ, stat. Have a listen for yourself.
Africa's inspired take on "Paint It Black."
"Light My Fire" goes much, much higher than either Jim Morrison or Jose Feliciano ever dreamed possible…
Bobbie Gentry's "Ode to Billy Joe" and "Louie, Louie" by the Kingsmen are not two songs I would think to mashup in a medley, but you have to admit it really works great here, doesn't it?

By B15m1lah. Chair. At Wednesday, July 11th 2018, 07:48:40 AM.
Got a lazy husband or grandpa? What better way to say happy holidays than with a brand new luxury recliner? Don't worry, we know what you're thinking. "Eww! That's too expensive!" Well, believe it or not, there are tons of awesome new recliners out there for much less than $200. Companies like Flash Furniture and OFM have produced several modern recliners for home and business use. In addition, many of them also make cozy additions to living rooms, bedrooms, and man-caves as well. Chairs like the Power Rest Recliner by OFM can even double as a comfortable office chair. How's that for a two-in-one gift
Chairs have come a long from just being a seating option. Today, chairs are very well considered a part of the décor and are bought keeping in the style requirement of the house. Today they are not only in a house because they are functional but also because of their aesthetic appeal. Reading this you would get to know about the variety of chairs available in the market. Read down and find out the best fit for you and your home.
Fleshing this out further, let's say a company advertises free shipping on their church chairs once a certain quantity of chairs are purchased to select geographical regions of the country. One of their chairs they sell for essentially $33.00 each, once there are a minimum of 100 chairs, purchased as a part of the order and also include "free shipping" for those chairs to about 20 different states. In this case they may purchase those chairs from a Chinese factory for about $13.00 a chair. They bring them to this country, warehouse them, sell them, and then deliver them. Their costs for all of these items is perhaps another $13.00 or so per chair. They then sell them for $33.00 a chair and all of their costs are covered and they make a nice profit. All through the process though they continue to state they are offering "free shipping".

And Megan Marx has marked the end of her stay on the idyllic island by flaunting her enviable physique in a tiny bikini body.
The 27-year-old took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a snap of herself standing in a star shape at the bow of the ship wearing a burgundy bikini top and tiny black bottoms.
Bikini babe: Megan Marx has marked the end of her stay on the Maldives by flaunting her enviable physique in a tiny bikini body
In the backdrop of the snap, the leafy palms on the island and resort villas on the water.
She explained to her legions of fans that she has always had a love for diving, working in a dive shop while studying a Science degree at university.
Scuba goddess: In her post Megan wrote: 'I left the Maldives yesterday. As sad as it is to leave, I can be happy in the fact that it's easily the best Scuba Diving I've ever done all over the world'
'Now I have my Master Diver so when I travel I don't just get to see beautiful lands, but what's beneath too,' she added the next on her 2018 bucket list is to do a skydiving course.
She also posted a photo of herself a khaki green bikini top and a high cut maroon bottom.
During her two week stay on the island Megan proudly showed off her slender figure in a range of slinky swimwear.

An old theory of dark matter may be gaining ground thanks to new analysis of LIGO's historic gravitational wave discovery.
The gravitational wave observatory LIGO has returned its second set of results, featuring two light-weight black holes perfect for making detectable gravitational waves.
LISA Pathfinder has produced astonishingly accurate results, paving the way for revealing the secrets of the universe with all-new insight into gravity.
The Microscope satellite will test our ability to put objects into perfect free fall, and that's more important than you might think.
The existence of gravitational waves has barely been confirmed, and the theories are already being modified. It turns out GW150914 was even more incredible than previously believed.
After spending so long preparing to detect black holes, the team from LIGO ended up finding one almost by accident.
Physicists announced a monumental discovery this week, as an experiment spanning North America has confirmed the existence of gravitational waves.
Mars may one-day have a planetary ring made out of the rubble of its own pulverized moon, Phobos.
Finding gravitational waves would validate general relativity and give an incredibly powerful tool to cosmology — too bad physicists still can't seem to find them.
The ESA's LISA Pathfinder will help scientists map gravity by testing their ability to put a satellite into a flawless long-term free fall.

The ROI of On-Site Child Care
Child care is a major concern for working families in the US, many of whom struggle to afford it. Employers who want to help ease this burden for the parents on their payroll might like the idea of on-site child care facilities in theory but worry that they're too expensive to introduce. However, at Fast Company, Patagonia CEO Rose Marcario runs the numbers and argues that her company's child care benefit is almost entirely paying for itself. Here's how:
The federal government recognizes the value of on-site child care to both working parents and the economy, and grants a qualified child-care program a yearly tax credit of $150,000. In addition, the government allows a company to deduct 35% of its unrecovered costs from its corporate tax bite. To date, costs after revenues (tuition fees) for running Patagonia's child development center are approximately $1 million. With a yearly tax deduction of $150,000 and a second deduction of 35% of costs (35% of $1 million = $350,000), that's a total of $500,000 in costs recouped, or 50%.
Turnover costs (of losing an employee and training a replacement) include lost productivity while the position is vacant, plus recruitment, relocation, and training time. This can range from 35% of annual salary for a non-managerial employee, to 125% of salary for a manager, to a couple of years' pay for a director or vice president. In the United States, 20%–35% of working mothers who give birth never return to their previous job.
At Patagonia, for the past five years, we've seen 100% of moms return to work after maternity leave. Moreover, the availability of on-site child care remains important for allowing mothers to breastfeed infants on demand. For the past five years, our turnover rate for parents who have children in the program has run 25% less than for our general employee population.
Factoring in the savings from improved retention and employee engagement, Marcario concludes, "we estimate that we recover 91 percent of our calculable costs annually." Other major employers' on-site child care programs, she adds, have actually shown a positive return—and that's not even considering the intangible benefits. All in all, the case for on-site child care looks very strong.
On the other hand, Patagonia and Marcario's other examples are all large enterprises, and there's room to wonder whether this cost-benefit analysis holds true for smaller employers. Just as small businesses are worried about keeping up with the bigger fish in raising wages for low-skill employees, could child care be another area in which "corporate inequality" comes to bear on what employers of different sizes can offer?

I learned many web design tricks in graduate school. Many of them seem rather obvious in hindsight, like putting the most important information at the top of the web page. After all, the more scrolling viewers go through, the less likely they will see all of the information on the page.
Web Design Rule #1: Web page visitors are very impatient. Don't make them think.
The obvious solution to preventing scrolling is to eliminate scrolling entirely. Well, some scrolling is inevitable (I certainly cannot write blog posts that short!) but the key idea remains the same: put your key information front and center. Yet this is a double edged sword. While users should see the most valuable information first, cramming too much information in that limited initial space is very dangerous.
Since I happen to work in medical equipment sales, I'll use two medical equipment manufactures to demonstrate this point. Take a look at Sklar Surgical Instruments. See anything interesting? That's the problem, there's too much interesting to see. This little three column layout is not only crammed with so much information, the information is badly prioritized. While the "what's new" header in the left has some interesting new information, technically the middle and right columns also present new information.
In the end, the average visitor will have difficulty focusing on one section of the site. I admit the layout holds some merit for frequent visitors who want to quickly see what is new and exciting with Sklar. Yet this overload of "new" is quite unfair to first-time visitors interested in what products Sklar sells. That little yellow products link is not easy to spot.
Quick Aside: I'm not a big fan of three column layouts, though I admit it holds value for e-commerce stores. The company I work for, Medical Device Depot, happens to use one rather effectively. Then again I might be biased. 🙂
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Clinton Industries utilizes a very effective front page. New information cycles through the middle, while easy navigation to their products other details are easy to spot. You simply cannot get lost when looking for products when it leaves a trail of breadcrumbs for you to retrace your steps.
One more fun fact: serious usability testing utilizes eye tracking. Technology actually exists which allows testers to track where a person first focuses their eyes on a web page.

Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Leatherface and Michael Myers. The four most terrifying names in horror come together at this year's Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood as the silver screen's extreme serial killers bleed into a trio of all-new slasher-themed mazes, beginning Friday, September 16, 2016.
In Freddy vs. Jason, demented killer Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street) returns to the scene of the crime, this time accompanied by notorious hockey mask killer Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th) to inflict twice as much terror. Inspired by New Line Cinema's 2003 film that brought together the biggest horror icons in history, this new experiential maze thrusts guests into an epic battle in which the fate of only one killer will survive.
The unspeakable terror embroiled within The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Blood Brothers|strong maze, based on Tobe Hooper's original film, will pit guests against the unsavory wrath of the demented killer, Leatherface, and his mentally unhinged brother, Chop Top, as they unite in misery to expand the family's cannibalistic enterprise and slaughter a new generation of innocent victims. With the perverse duo at the helm of a grotesque BBQ restaurant staged inside a dilapidated roadside gas station, unwitting guests will soon realize that new terror awaits as the blood brothers continue their hedonistic prey on human flesh.
Escaped mental patient Michael Myers makes a homecoming return in Halloween: Hell Comes to Haddonfield|strong, an all-new maze inspired by the second film in the classic "Halloween" horror franchise. Echoing the infamous words uttered by the film's Dr. Sam Loomis, "You can't kill the Boogeyman," the twisted maze will shed new light on the terrifying lunacy of Michael Myers as he scours the streets of Haddonfield and stalks the halls of Haddonfield Memorial Hospital in ruthless pursuit of his victims.
Halloween Horror Nights 2016 at Universal Studios Hollywood kicks off on Friday, September 16, 2016. The popular event brings together the sickest minds in horror to immerse guests in a living, breathing, three-dimensional world of terror. Featuring an all-new slate of unrivaled film production quality mazes, frightful scare zones and a fully re-imagined Terror Tram experience uniquely themed to today's most definitive horror properties, "Halloween Horror Nights" will taunt, terrorize and torment guests with spine-chilling haunted attractions as part of Southern California's most extreme Halloween experience. The all-new The Walking Dead permanent attraction, based on AMC's hit show will further enhance Halloween Horror Night's terrifying lineup.

Scott Walker's call today for a special session on welfare reform."Gov. Scott Walker is clearly scared by Republicans' election loss this week. So today he's grabbing for what self-serving career politicians always do--dividing people. He is lashing out at lower-income families down on their luck to please his wealthy elite donors. His crass, calculated political move to make Wisconsin hate again is a desperate tactic pitting Wisconsinites against one another -- and it will fail." ###

I would say that ,after denim, my biggest weakness is footwear. It has always been this way, up until quite recently I owned a semi respectable collection of Nike sneakers including the first six Jordan models and an unhealthy amount of the Nike SB range for a man in his thirties and I still regret to this day selling my Heavy Metal edition Nike Terminators. These days my sneaker collection is more about purpose than flair, I have trainers for playing football with my son, for running in and a couple of pairs for leisure, but they are no longer my first love…that honour has fallen to the American work boot and its shorter cousin the work oxford shoe.
It is well documented (by me) that my personal preference is for White's boots, but I am slowly branching out. There is nothing quite so ubiquitous to put on your feet when wearing you jeans as an American work boot and if it was not for the almost unmatched ability to customise along with the ephemeral nature of leather then I think that we would all feel a whole lot more derivative than we perhaps do. To illustrate this point I refer to the group discount which was kindly offered from Bakers Shoes on the purchase of White's Bounty Hunter boots for the Heavyweight Boot Championship, around twenty of us all bought essentially the same boots but there was so much variation within the basic framework that we all maintained a suitable level of individuality.
What is it about the boot that makes it such an ideal companion to denim? Well, in no small part it is the tangible feeling of vintage Americana, it is also the comfortable umbrella term of work wear under which both jeans and boots sit, along with the participative nature of denim and leather which allows the wearer to customise both items to their own aesthetic simply by wearing them. More important than all this though is the simple fact that they look great together, perfect partners in evolution, a hardy carapace of substance, structure and style.
Most of us enter the field of decent quality work boots with a pair of Red Wings, Timberland, Dr Martens or similar, some of us stay there for life, whereas other set foot on the slippery slope to obsession that comes from ordering a custom made pair from one of the great boot makers on North America, White's, Alden, Viberg, Nicks, Wesco and many others. Weirdly I find that people have more brand loyalty when it comes to footwear than they do in other areas of their clothing, people are always eager to try new denim, cuts and details but far less eager to step away from a boot maker who keeps them in comfort. My personal preference is built around my stupidly high foot arch and the fact that the arch ease system from White's is more comfortable on my feet than any amount of air cushioning, I have heard similar and different reasons espoused for other boot makers in this field also.
Just as jeans and boots share a common evolution so they also have a major difference, a difference which I believe makes footwear a more immersive experience to own. Unlike jeans you can effectively care for your boots in a general sense rather than simply a restorative sense, your jeans rip and you get them stitched, but you cannot polish denim to bring our patina and make the life cycle of the material extend, you can wash them sure but it doesn't have the same tactile involvement as applying polish, boot grease or leather conditioner with your own hands. I find great satisfaction and an almost meditative state in cleaning and conditioning my boots, and owners will all try to convince you that their regime and choice of products is the best way to look after your faithful footwear, just as denim heads will all talk with confidence about their own wash routine as if it is an archaic art, learned from ancient scriptures (myself included, I use Huberds and leather protector wipes).
There is a quote by someone I cannot remember which goes along the lines of "You should always invest in a quality pair of boots and a good bed, because if you're not in one you are in the other". I believe this entirely, and if I were not already saving for my next pair of boots I would probably be looking for a new bed.
