RPO Podcast 121 (2nd Edition): The Titans Have Signed Some Free Agents!
I know what you're thinking…. and yes, it's true. I posted this episode yesterday and it cut out halfway through. I am sorry for this. I have failed you all. BUT it was not my fault (fucking computers). So I have gone back to get the whole episode and post it here for you beautiful Titans fans. I was joined by Brandon to break down all of the Titans free agent signings. Jon Robinson is going to take everyone's wives and there's nothing we can do about it.

High Opioid Rates
Related Story
JEFFERSON CITY - The rate of deaths related to opioids is slowly decreasing after the state saw a large increase two years ago.
"The opioid crisis is the number one public health issue Missouri is facing. We are incredibly thankful to all who have helped us meet the challenge that exists both nationally and in Missouri," Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Randall Williams said in a press release.
In 2016, there were 908 opioid related deaths, an increase by 35 percent from the 672 opioid deaths in 2015.
This last year, the opioid death toll was 951, an increase by 4.7 percent. DHSS said new laws and a grant are factors in the slower rate of deaths.
The Missouri Department of Mental Health has partnered with the Missouri Institute of Mental Health receiving grant money to better prevent, treat and recover from opioid use disorder. The grant is called the Missouri State Targeted Response. It implements an idea of "medication first" to treat provide more medications for opioid use disorder victims.
Department of Mental Health director Mark Stringer said the STR grant indicates a successful use of the medication first model.
"At agencies throughout the state, individuals were more likely to receive medication for OUD and receive the medication sooner," he said.
The grant also supplies over 5,000 naloxone kits for at-risk individuals.
The Missouri Senate passed a bill to limit new opioid prescriptions to a seven day supply.
The Missouri House also passed a bill to extend Medicaid coverage an additional year for mothers needing substance use treatment. Missouri is the first state to pass this type of policy.
Williams said the decreased rate of opioid deaths is a sign of improvement.
"We recognize that one loss is too many and we are committed to working as hard as we can to decrease the number of death," he said.

Every summer quite a lot of folks in our church read a biography together. Typically it's chosen by the pastoral staff and woven into a sermon or just discussed here and there as the opportunity arises. Because of mounting racial tensions in the United States and a desire to respond as Christ would, we read The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr. this past summer.

Hardwear Designs Giveaway Winner!/
So, first of all, I just want to take a little poll.
This is totally normal, right?
I mean...everyone has a huge treadmill in the middle of their living room, right?
I do have some crazy ideas, but believe it or not, the whole 'treadmill in the middle of the living room' thing was not part of my original plan. I'm crazy, but I'm not insane.
The reason there is a treadmill in the middle of my living room is because in light of purchasing our "dream" house, My Gazelle and I decided to cancel our respective gym memberships. When we do finally move into a new house, at that point we will have two mortgages. [Thank you, negative equity]. We are doing drastic things in order to cut expenses in advance of entering into the "two mortgage zone". It's a dangerous place to be.
We allowed ourselves a budget of $1000 to purchase all of the equipment that we would need to furnish our home gym. We feel pretty confident that with the gym actually residing in our home, we will be even more likely to work out in our free time. Since I am a fair weather runner [and despise the hassle of going to a gym], I have been wanting a treadmill of my own for a few years. I just didn't think we had any space for it.
Clearly, I was wrong!
See--plenty of space!!
In the end, we purchased a new set of PowerBlocks on sale at a local fitness equipment store, and then found this treadmill, a squat rack, an incline bench, two bars, and a whole set of weight plates on Craigslist. All for $1,100 [almost made the budget]!
When we purchased this treadmill the weekend of April 23rd, we should have already settled on our new house. Unfortunately, things didn't work out that smoothly, so now we have a great treadmill [conversation piece] in the middle of the living room. The funny thing is that having the treadmill in the middle of the living room has proved to be a great motivation to use it. I see it on a daily basis, and My Gazelle often walks returns from a walk or a trip to the store only to find me huffing it out on the treadmill.
Sweating all over our carpet.
He loves that part.
Moral of the story: If you're looking for fitness equipment, go directly to Craigslist. And don't be afraid to store it in the middle of a high-traffic area in your house until you have a legitimate place to put it.
And now, a winner.
In the midst of my hiatus, I actually forgot to pick the winner of the Hardware Designs bracelet [p.s...thank you for reminding me, Summer]! It's a little late, but here's the winner:
Incidentally, Meredith followed up with this comment, and I think it's great!
So, congrats Meredith--wear it proud! Just email me your shipping instructions, and I'll have Hardware Designs send your bracelet out ASAP!
Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, peeps, and be safe!

"Consciousness creates form. It is not the other way around. All personalities are not physical. It is only because you are so busily concerned with daily matters that you do not realize that there is a portion of you who knows that its own powers are far superior to those shown by the ordinary self." ~ Seth, spoken through Jane Roberts
"There are so many unsung heroines and heroes at this broken moment in our collective story, so many courageous persons who, unbeknownst to themselves, are holding together the world by their resolute love or contagious joy. Although I do not know your names, I can feel you out there." ~ David Abram
As I settled in, got my head out of political journalism, I realized that I am out of friggin coffee, and I want more, so I have to take a break from writing, right up front, to make more of that sumptuous brew that some people, many people, use to make candy drinks. I love that they do that. I also love that I don't. There's nothing like a good steamin' cup of black coffee in front of you while you write writerly stuff. All this coming from a guy who still holds a vivid image of Juan Valdez and his mule smiling at a shopper from down the aisle in the supermarket. If you don't understand my pop culture reference here, you are young enough to not know what you are missing. I miss those days of innocence. Shit, I can't remember anything beyond the old Shake and Bake commercials. Or was that Wake and Bake. Whatever dude I don't remember. Gotta go start a fresh pot. Busy backson.
I've been finding that the feature on Facebook that takes you back to "memories" is kinda cool. Because of this blog, which I write nearly daily, I have a journal of sorts, and I find that I like to go back and see where my head was at this time last year. I re-posted one yesterday that talks about mental illness, and how I see it, and relate to it. Boy howdy don't turn your back on these disorders folks! Just sayin'. Now, this morning I read one of those old posts and found a brief passage about an intense and gentle bout of spontaneous flirtation. The scene was like something out of a movie. I knew that the woman involved has connections to Hollywood people but I didn't know until later that day, when I googled, that she is pretty darned famous in her own right, and highly accomplished as well, and I was like wow. Lucky me, right? I ain't bragging. There are brief and beautiful encounters in life. This was one; one of the best. I should note that I just went back into the archives to find that post, to provide a link for you to click, but that post is simply not there. It's not there! Then I went to the browser history and it is not there either. Very freakin' strange. I'm not kidding folks. Seems that the Universe is messing with my head bigtime. I read that post less than an hour ago. I remember the conversation like it happened just yesterday. And when I remembered the conversation I remembered falling in love. Now, the gift of falling in love is that it connects you with the love you have within yourself. It's not likely she is reading this, but, my dear, if you are let's do coffee sometime. As for you readers please know that this "missing post" thingy is NOT a literary or comic device. That post really did vanish. But – there really is magick in the world, but I prefer the kind expressed through that conversation to the kind where I lose a friggin post and now it is going to friggin haunt me all day. Hey, maybe that woman buys hardware? It's a workday. If a guy doesn't dream he's a gull danged fool. Imagine that the conversation occurred with us both leaning, face to face, close, our forearms resting atop a cage full of kittens. You'll never see that in a movie. I got to be there in realtime. Actuality and imagination sometimes mingle intimately. Ssss-weet!
Wow. It's time to prep for work. The sinus infection is starting to budge under the antibiotic assault, but I still feel like crap. The headache is the worst. No biggie. I have been given the remembrance of magic, as well as a realtime example of magic. I'm nodding my head here, as I write, in the affirmative, noting the illusory nature of time, and the power of love, and I realize that this post may sound contrived. Nope. It ain't.
Peace out, y'all. Goof gloriously.

Explorer Raccoon Sticker
Explorer Raccoon Sticker
This sticker comes with a postcard featuring the following short story.
Skippy the Explorer Raccoon heard tales of the Golden Acorn as a young kit — a fabled nut that would bring a spirit of adventure to any raccoon who found it. She decided that she would embark on a mission to discover the Golden Acorn, so she made herself a paper explorer's hat and started hiking the unknown trail.
Skippy trundled over dusty rock formations, traversed through deep ravines, and finally came to the ocean's shore. Still looking for the Golden Acorn, a Mushroom Whale rose out of the water. He gave Skippy a snack and told her of the Queen Bear, who knew the secret spell to make the magic Golden Acorn appear.
But as Skippy continued her journey searching for the Queen Bear, she began to realize that she didn't need the Golden Acorn — Skippy found the spirit of adventure through her own explorations.
Durable vinyl sticker, perfect for sticking on water bottles, car windows, or laptops.
Original design :: watercolor & collage.
3" wide x 2" tall

A chance meeting with an old acquaintance on a social media site a few years ago lead to a rather wonderful discovery. My friend and I were doing the causal catch-up with each others' lives when the topic of conversation inevitably got round to where each of us was living. After I told my friend that I was currently domiciled in Ilford, east-London, I was thrilled to be informed by her that the final resting place of one of my all time favourite artists and occultists, Austin Osman Spare (1886-1956), was in St Mary's Church Ilford, a mere stones throw from my house. This came as a complete shock for I had been living there and the surrounding area for most of my life, and was completely oblivious to this remarkable fact. It seems that even amongst AOS's enthusiast and devotees the precise location had been somewhat of a mystery.
After several fruitless searches trying to locate AOS's grave in St Mary's, I finally managed to track it down with the help of my friend and Austin Osman Spare expert, Chris Chibnall. Austin died in poverty and obscurity in 1957 and was buried with his parents in their rather modest grave. As you can see from the below video clip that I took the grave has no headstone and Austin's name is absent from the epitaph. Only that of his father, Philip Newton Spare (1857-1928), and mother Eliza Ann Adelaide (1860-1939) are present - along with an accompanying quote taken from a hymn by the poet and hymn writer, Charlotte Elliot (1789-1872); "Just as I am, without one plea".

As I age (whether gracefully or not is the question), I become more intimate with ideas that had remained estranged until recently. It's embarrassing, yet the cycle of life, to admit your parents were right. It seems as though each year gets shorter and faster. Time flies and has no rest for the weary (or the lazy). While I engaged fully in my current life, I reflect on what brought me to this beautiful, amazing place. How did I get here? How did I overcome all those adversities to reach THIS life? How was I able to create a life(style) where I pinch myself to see if it's real? Is this real? How come it just keeps getting better? I soak up every ounce of appreciation knowing that one day it may all disappear as quickly as it arrived. I bask in the light that draws me close, feeds me, and allows my soul to be on fire while free. I no longer check over my shoulder. I stopped hiding my words. I refuse to inhibit myself. I no longer have that twinge in my belly that I may get in trouble for something. I let go that maybe I didn't do it right. I high tailed it away from feeling inferior or less than because of my credentials. I don't have to wait until 'someone feels like paying me' My existence is no longer based on the materialistic service to others. AND I DON'T HAVE TO KISS ANYONE'S ASS!
I get to be ME. 100% ME. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. Whether good or bad, makeup or not, maybe combed hair, stinky, tired, and even cranky-I get to be me. I really had no idea how liberating it really is. I also realized it can be very lonely-especially if you don't really like yourself. Fortunately for me, I freekin love myself, so there's no better company throughout the day (except for our crazy dog Phillip but that's another journal) Yes, I struggle with those days of loserville and pity party just like everyone else but what has allowed ME to live like THIS?
Let me say it again, just in case you missed it.
Now, I'm not talkin' about a sweet southern dish or something your grandmother serves selflessly for breakfast. I'm speaking of that sensation in your toes or teeth that just grinds on ya and you can't get away from. That feeling of leftover sand in the bed after a great beach party. I'm talking about dirt in between your toes that follows your sock into your shoe. The perseverance of continuing to finish even when it's not fun. The lack of mercy when it comes to accomplishing goals. The heart that it takes to shove all pain and discomfort aside to get where you want to go. What keeps you going wen you just don't want to.
I am a reader and many of the ideas I adopt come from my library. I recently have been reading a book by Mark Manson and he describes grit in his book. Not necessarily by name but by action. He delivers a new concept (to me) that pain and struggle are necessary. These attributes form the core of grit. They develop the human mind and body to create tolerance. Once tolerance is embraced, pain becomes a guiding principle towards happiness. It molds, directs, intersects, diminishes, and intensifies experience. Happiness is the direct result of pain. Without grit, we would not survive pain. Without pain, we would not know happiness.
When I try to avoid the uncomfortable aspects of life, I now look at it in a different way. First, I know the situation is temporary. Secondly, there is a reason why the situation is difficult. Lastly, I am building character traits that will assist me in some other aspect of my life.
I got here because of my grit.

We are having such gorgeous autumn weather this year. Lots of misty mornings, a little rain, a little wind and lots of sunshine coming in at an angle that makes the whole world look magical, well the whole world that is my garden.
The Easter break has come and gone and we spent some lovely days in Hobart with the kids, the two that live there that is. A beautiful walk at the edge of the south west wilderness was a treat for all of us. We won't see Louis until July when he has the ceremony for the conferring of his PhD. Very exciting and well deserved for his years of work. What a test of stamina and spirit.
I seem to be doing well on my doctoral studies into how to be a lazy almost 60 year old, goodness I seem to have wasted so much time this year. Still , I guess it's just a phase and I'll snap out of it. I don't need to be crazy busy but sloth can become quite boring. Anyway I have a lot I have to get done today and a poor old cat who seems a bit under the weather as well so no laziness allowed today.

Ratings and Reviews
As the title says I had planned on coming here to write a bad review, due to the fact I couldn't get the "C" in the word Flick Pool. But I figured let me wait to get to level 100 before I write the review. After about level 70 I had used coins to buy all the coins and I had all of the letters except "C". So I continued playing to try to get the "C". After 30 aggravating levels of not getting it, I finally received the "C" after I beat level 100. Could be a marketing strategy to make people keep playing (watching ads) until they get the final letter. But now that I have all the balls and all the letters I don't see a point in playing the game anymore. As Arianna Grande would say "Thank you, next"
I spent 2$
So I spent $2 or $3 on this. That's the price of an iced coffee. This game has given me more enjoyment than one iced coffee.
However the fact that I can get the game for free, get bombarded with adds, and have to pay a premium for an enjoyable experience is a concept I cannot get behind. I wish Voodoo Games nothing but the best on their future endeavors - but at this point I wouldn't mind if the CEO stubbed his toe. Actually, I would be happy if the CEO stubbed his toe, went to a free hospital, and had to pay a premium for the experience he expected. Taste of his own medicine.
All in all, the game's pretty good.
Bad design, little creativity
I originally got this game because the ads made it see like a fun and enjoyable one. Little did I realized that by doing this I would be subjecting myself to loads of ads and frustration in repeated, easy levels to beat and getting the same letters over and over again. A chance to get different letters would be deeply appreciated and possible getting a prize once all the letters are collected and then restart. This is only because once you collect all the letters and balls, the game has no point anymore.

Struggles of OFWs Depicted on Photos
Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) significantly contribute to the Philippines' continuous economic progress through billions of dollars worth of remittances each year. However, not everyone truly understands the selfless sacrifices of OFWs who only want to support the daily needs of their families or perhaps, provide them a bright future. The sad reality is, the migrant workers and their families are the ones bearing the social consequences of migration.
A daughter of an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) recently shared a group of family photos that captured the hearts of millions of OFWs across the globe. Bhea taught everyone how to appreciate the great sacrifices of all OFW parents who were working very hard and enduring the burden of homesickness on a far distant location. Through her posted pictures on social media, Bhea clearly expressed her gratitude and appreciation for all the efforts made by her father.
On several photos, Bhea's family appears celebrating the birthday of her father along with close relatives and friends in their home back in the Philippines. They prepared a lot of sumptuous dishes and items including a birthday cake for her dad, which seemingly filled the entire dining table. But her dad was not there to celebrate his birthday.
However, on another picture, Bhea's father seemed to have prepared for a birthday party of his own. The loving OFW father prepared a cup of instant noodles and a small loaf of bread with a lit candle, representing his birthday cake. Bhea described the pictures, indicating what her family had prepared for her dad against what her dad had prepared for himself while being away. This definitely touched the emotions of many Filipinos particularly those who have family members working as OFWs.
After her post goes viral on social media, Bhea then shared her father's touching message for her. The OFW birthday celebrator continuously encourages her daughter to remain strong despite the distance that separates them apart. He also noted that the whole family would get through all these challenges and hardships as long as they stay together. He asked her to stay cool and be patient as all these sacrifices would only become meaningful if he would provide his family a great future.
Every year, thousands of aspiring Filipinos decide to go on a difficult journey outside of the Philippines in search of better opportunities to earn more. But before they can do it, OFWs have to go through a hard decision of leaving their families behind and bearing not to see the children grow up by their side. According to the 2016 survey by the Philippine Statistics Authority on OFWs, there are approximately 2.3 million Filipinos working in the international soil. And Bhea's father is just one of the hardworking Filipinos who has made a heartbreaking decision of leaving her son and explore the world for greener pastures.

What if the truth is not enough?
It was Keats 200 years ago who ended "Ode on a Grecian Urn" with the infamous lines: "'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.'" We move through our life accepting certain truths, while rejecting others. Today, it seems an insurmountable task to work through the noise of information, both true and untrue. Will exposing truth quell the incessant battery of today's political climate, or will it merely reveal the greater socioeconomic issues that continue to plague our modern society? In our program titled, "What if the truth is not enough?" earspace collaborates with local artists to explore these questions using music, poetry, tweets from public officials, and visual projections.
gifts of the magi
'gifts of the magi' is a dynamic experience for solo clarinetist and audience that explores the prophetic nature of the gifts to the infant Jesus. Born in a Bethlehem stable, the Christ child is presented with three gifts from mysterious travelers who followed the light of a wondrous star: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. These gifts have come to be understood as symbolic of greater themes in the life of Jesus: gold for his divinity, frankincense for his willingness to suffer, myrrh for his mortality. Featuring music by Eric Mandat, Steve Reich, Franco Donatoni, Salvatore Sciarrino, and earspace's own Ledah Finck, 'gifts of the magi' inaugurates the holiday season with a shared journey of pilgrims - symbolically and literally - through several works of art given as birthday gifts to celebrate the Ackland Museum's 60th Anniversary. Interspersed with poetry and reflection, our journey - in turn reflective, somber, and stirring - will direct us inward to consider the sacred and profane implications of our own being.
…air I shall not forget the sound of
In fall of 2018, earspace returned to UNC for a four-day residency, including two performances. The ensemble designed a performance experience featuring an exploration of interactions between live performance, spatialized sound, and light structures. This free performance was presented as part of the Conversations in Modern Music Series. During the second performance, the ensemble collaborated with UNC student composers to workshop and perform their compositions.
Sonic Constructions in Shared Spaces
Flutist and installation artist, Philip Snyder, invites visitors to experiment and play with simple electronic instruments as part of a shared, sonic space. Snyder sets up musical processes that seek to engage visitors to the Ackland's exhibition "Birthday Presents" in the discovery of their own creative agency and reveal new perspectives of the surrounding artworks. The performance includes three constructions in which the decisions of everyone involved contribute to the trajectory of the music.
earspace presents its flutist, Philip Snyder, performing "instill" a sounding meditation space created by D. Edward Davis. Visitors to the outdoor labyrinth path will be invited to walk the maze while creating and interacting with sounds. Seating will be provided for those who wish to experience the event that way. Visitors are welcome to come and go as they wish.
earspace @ UNC
3/18 - 3/23/2018
In our first ever residency, earspace collaborated with student musicians at UNC to present the contemporary oratorio Shelter by David Lang, Michael Gordon, and Julia Wolfe with films by Bill Morrison. During the week members of earspace gave workshops and read new pieces by student composers. We closed out the week with a concert featuring music by Anna Thorvaldsdottir, Simon Holt, Ted Hearne, and Donnacha Dennehy.
In the debut performance of earspace, the ensemble presents the music of Christopher Cerrone, Kaija Saariaho, and David Lang in collaboration with CAM Raleigh. Cerrone's South Catalina, Sarriaho's Tocar, and Lang's child are equal parts epic, energizing, and mesmerizing. Staged in the galleries at CAM, this performance explores the spatialization of this unique venue.

TV actress Reyhna Malhotra will soon be seen performing 'Tandav Nritya' in the serial 'Manmohini'. The actress shot this special dance sequence on June 15 and it is said that she learned the dance in just 15 minutes and it was okayed in only two takes.
When Dainik Bhaskar asked her about this, she said: "I have been very fond of dance since childhood; I'm not a trained dancer but I do dance a little bit. When I came to know that I would have to perform Tandav Nritya for the coming sequence, I was very excited. But to tell the truth, I was a little nervous because it is not easy to do this dance. You have to pay attention to so many things, including your facial expression. But I took it as a challenge and am glad that I was able to perform it so beautifully."
She further said, "I got only 15 minutes to prepare for this dance. Yes, we rehearsed for 15 minutes and the dance was finalised in only 2 takes." Reyhna is playing a negative role in this show.

So does Heath Ledger[*2] , somewhat more permanently.
This just in: Bush Lied![*3] This also just in: saying something that you had every reason to believe was true, only to later find out that it wasn't true, is a "lie." Let's be careful out there.
Speaking of lying: In a stunning development, a Democrat publically admits that the Clintons are utterly, totally, 100%, completely full of shit. Or, as Obama[*4] put it, "not making statements that are factually accurate." Strangely enough, Clinton when he was President said on numerous occasions that Saddam's Iraq had WMD's. Quick, somebody do a study!
Oh, yeah, EVERYBODY PANIC[*5] !
In a related story, Bush sits down[*6] with the Congressional leadership, and from all accounts, has a cordial meeting. EVERYBODY PANIC!!!
Closer to home:
Missouri Governor Matt Blunt says he's done everything he wanted to do as Governor (riiiiight), so he's not running for re-election[*7] . That he's trailing his Dem. challenger, Attorney General Jay Nixon, has nothing whatsoever to do with it.
Even closer to home:
Frances Semler hangs it up[*8] . The racists, haters and scofflaws win. Again.

Halloween reflections: My greatest honor bestowed
Another Halloween has come and gone, and with it, an unexpected honor bestowed upon me.
I turned 60 this year, and while I vow not to burden you with too many 'I'm growing older' reflections, please allow me this one. After all, I lost my mom this year, my own personal Mother Earth, and now both my parents are gone.
Halloween, for decades now, has been my favorite holiday. More so than any other holiday, Halloween features what is best about our culture — putting aside the individually-wrapped services of sugar, of course! But really, the basic, egalitarian idea of door-to-door openness, of playfulness, of dancing with the dark side … Halloween is a celebration of what's possible.
I used to put so much effort into my costumes. At one point I realized that my elaborate costumes usually involved covering up my head in some way — one year it was a birdcage — rendering me uncommunicative. I began to see that was the point perhaps, that for one day of the year I was supposed to shut the hell up.
But another motif emerges. Recently a friend sent me a photo from 1988. That's me in the foreground; yes I am the earth!
This photo reminded me of another costume, early that decade, where I dressed up as I dressed up as the potential for nuclear war, with a globe for a head and an elaborate red button on my chest as a trigger for nuclear war.
Sometimes I think I have been worried about planetary issues like climate change for only about a dozen years, but a litany of my Halloween costumes tells me otherwise.
In the 90s, my sons were born, and so Halloween became mostly about them, on into the 2000s. Over those years, I stopped putting my own costumes together. Perhaps I've played out the possibilities for me; perhaps I'm just waiting for new inspiration.
Into this breach flowed an unexpected delight this year.
Bloomington South High School students dressed up as various eco-related characters this year. Their AP environmental science teacher, Amanda Figolah, sent my photos and an excited stream of texts today, listing the costumes: Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Recyclops — along with students representing broad concepts like aquatic ecosystem and ecological disruption.
For me personally, though, my favorite costume idea she sent … was me.
That's right, one student, dressed up as me.
That's him — or me, rather — on the left.
I had visited Bloomington South High School the week before to attend a symposium on cafeteria waste and food composting, as well as keynote at the inaugural Youth Environmental Leadership Summit thanks to IU's Integrated Program in the Environment. I don't remember this student in particular, but I must have made an impression.
This is pretty flattering and might in fact be the most gratifying honor of my life.
Figolah said he was in character throughout the day; he told everyone he'd pretty much given up on adults regarding climate action and was focused on youth (yes, I say that), and I was portrayed as passionate and enthusiastic (I hope that's the case).
Nothing is scarier than climate change; I live in a perpetual state of anxiety. To be perceived as passionate and enthusiastic — and have that reflected back to me in some kid's costume idea — is a goal anyone would be glad to accomplish.
Something else happened this year, my 60th, the beginning of my parentless life; I celebrated my fifth anniversary running Earth Charter Indiana. Five years of total focus on our climate crisis, a period of freedom to engage in the thing that I care most about: giving back to this beautiful earth and all it's given me.
This costume-as-me is an unexpected gift; may I live up to this honor.

- the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.
Last week, I attended an inspirational lecture by Doctor Tanya Byron; the Chancellor or my University and clinical psychologist. She spoke so passionately and animatedly about her work, going off in great detailed tangents but always returning to her original point and captivating her audience.
In short, she is precisely who aspire to be in thirty years!
The fickle thing about inspiration is that it can take so many variable forms. From other people and their life stories, to simply great ideas shared through social media; Pinterest is a great go-to for inspiration for everything from deep thought to hair styles.
Yet it is always best to take your sense of inspiration from others and apply it to yourself.
Inspired by a number of Instagram people I follow and their get-fit, couch-to-5k journeys, two months ago I signed up to a 5km race around my local village.
I wouldn't call myself a couch potato. More of a fair weather jogger and occasional gym user when the whim arose. But after training myself properly for two months; with a mix of road running and the gym every other day I build up my stamina and physique.
On Sunday I completed my 5km race with a Personal Best time of 34:47!
My point is this; I took my inspiration and applied it to myself. With determination and will power you can achieve whatever you want.
It's totally fine if what you want that day is to simply get dressed, because I know there are days when that takes a great deal of determination and will power too. Heck, every morning!
A more long term aspiration would be my career in psychology, but we will see…
Walt Disney puts it more succinctly: "If you can dream it, you can do it."

The property that Zheng Yuanbao values most is " people " this one brand.
Dozens small small be troubled by start
In 20 centuries 70 time end, get reform atmosphere first city of Wen Zhoule clear willow, emerge in large numbers goes out greatly small enterprise of 1000 low-pressure electric equipment, the lukewarm city person that markets product of low-pressure electric equipment in countrywide each district tens of thousands of. Suffer the effect of tide of business of low-pressure electric equipment, 1976, zheng Yuanbao and person collaboration established Electromechanical of Hangzhou flying eagle controls a factory.
After this, zheng Yuanbao sends irremediable, establish early or late a lot of enterprise. 1982, established in Shanghai Electromechanical facility plant is collected south Shanghai; Of afterwards, 1986, established plant of hardware of happy clear the East China Sea in Wen Zhou again. "Establish at that time the enterprise is immediately respond to a news. " perhaps, nowadays in Zheng Yuanbao's eye, at that time still is small only dozen small be troubled by.
But have a move, it is the professional career that affected Zheng Yuanbao deeply however. In May 1988, zheng Yuanbao and friend cooperate, investment take-overs 30 thousand yuan " factory of electric equipment of low pressure of happy clear people " , this namely predecessor of Chinese people electric equipment. This enterprise scope is very little at that time, annual produce has many yuan 10 only. And, be worth blossom everywhere of manufacturer of willow city electric equipment in those days, fake the product floods the market. How be in confused competition, to a sky that gives oneself, it is to be placed before Zheng Yuanbao an austere task.
Accordingly, new the Zheng Yuanbao that assume office gives out " 3 fire " , namely " 3 not principle " : Lose an interest rather, do not lose the market; Lose an amount rather, do not miss quality; Lose outer part rather, do not lose a customer. Zheng Yuanbao tells a reporter, "In that time, do not close good quality, it is shortsighted, live for a long time in the market hard. " in Zheng Yuanbao guide below, "People " contactor of card CJ110 communication prepares Chinese medicine by roasting it in a pan in the market start shooting, be in home first manufacturing license that got national machinery ministry to issue. The double bumper harvest of economic benefits and social benefit, for " people " develop continuously laid solid foundation.
Play turn the enterprise is bought
1992, zheng Yuanbao realizes the enterprise wants more long-term progress, must search terraqueous traffic more convenience, information business of more well-informed, electric equipment door more concentrated place, zheng Yuanbao gives birth to the local willow city of immortal work as a child, became first-rate option.
In Zheng Yuanbao drive, factory of electric equipment of people low pressure is happy from the Wenzhou that is located in a corner Qing Huanghua, remove city of happy clear willow, and build the office building that covers an area of 2700 square metre, bought building of layer of 4-6 of city of Chinese electric equipment to regard production as the place, still set battalion headquarters of classics of much home product in gold a sector of an area. "Although, look from the distance, this ' move the capital to another place ' not from a great distance is driven attend a place far away form home, but this ' move the capital to another place ' become history of group of Chinese people electric equipment to go up however accepted ' milepost ' . " Zheng Yuanbao tells a reporter.

We still have much to learn from the massacre at Columbine High School twenty years ago this week, says contributor Don Lee, who was at the time both a legislator from that community and a parent at the school.
Focus on jihadists, not DC gunman
The real danger of the shooting in DC will be the moral equivalence struck by the media between this lone nut and Islamic terrorists. This incident will be used to validate the recent statement by Janet Napolitano on the "Threat of Right-Wing Extremism". For CBS, NBC, ABC and CNN, it will be six of one, half a dozen of the other. Thus, to serve one's country is to be put on a suspicion list by the DHS. After all, the man arrested in Washington DC was "another of those veterans" -- having served in World War II over 60 years ago! The key feature that's intentionally glossed over is the magnitude of the subversion by the Islamists in the United States in comparison with the "white supremacy" groups. Documents outlining the vast scope of the Saudi funded Islamist efforts are basically ignored! As if one elderly 88 year old is equivalent to a quarter of a million black prison converts to Islam, many voicing hatred of America and white people!
As was said before, the "shooter" in Washington DC is 88 years old. The question one has to ask is this: what can be done to an 88 year old man? Life imprisonment? The death penalty? The man has already exceeded the average life expectancy! In either case, he will leap into his grave laughing!
Condemning the evil murder of Dr. Tiller
Dr. George Tiller's murder in cold blood at a Wichita church today should shock the conscience and grieve the heart of every thinking person -- especially persons of faith, and above all, those of us who defend the right to life. Wichita Eagle story here. This evil and lawless act deserves absolute condemnation. It is in no way excusable, regardless of the slain man's inexcusable career as an abortionist.
I hope you will join me in praying for Dr. Tiller, for his family and loved ones, for his killer, and for the quelling of passions on all sides that would threaten peace and order in our land.
Murder motivations don't matter much
Lately the media have been filled with news of particularly heinous crimes, such as the recent mass murders in Alabama and North Carolina. We should be neither jaded nor hysterical about these horrible events but I confess that the crime reported Monday about the young man in Milton, Massachusetts, who stabbed his 17-year-old sister to death and decapitated his five-year-old sister, nearly moved me to tears. The only good thing that occurred–or didn't occur–was that he was prevented from killing his nine-year-old sister by a timely bullet fired by a police officer, whose chief described the situation as "a killing field."
In what has become routine in these cases, the writer of the AP story said that "There was no clear motive" for the crime, which occurred at the five-year-old's birthday party "in a tony Boston suburb that also is home to Gov. Deval Patrick."
Doubtless readers wonder what difference the neighborhood or the residents make, but I question the sense in inquiring about the motive. Let's be clear on this: murder is a heinous crime whatever the motive is.
The unstated assumption behind examining the shooter's motive is that multiple murders require an explanation. Who in his right mind would do such a thing, right? Why, he must have been crazy. And once we establish that about the killer, you know what's coming next. That's right, the insanity defense.
Has there ever been a more useful way of dodging a murder charge, or at least of avoiding the death penalty? If 23-year-old Kerby Revelus had not been killed, he would have been judged insane, pitied more than condemned and sent away for "treatment" at a facility that provides room and board and three meals a day, and recreation too. Fortunately, justice was done on the spot.
The truth is, the motive, or lack of motive, doesn't matter. A young man killed two of his sisters and he got what he deserved. Thank God we've been spared the charade provided by defense lawyers who specialize in diverting attention from the crime and concentrating on the perpetrator's alleged lack of deliberate motive.
The motive does not count so that we might "understand" why a murder was committed, but it does count when the police investigators or the district attorneys don't not have solid proof. That is, when they are trying to link a suspect or a defendant with a crime, motive (along with time and opportunity) may be part of the web of circumstances which prove guilt.
Although motive is irrelevant except for proving guilt, it is relevant in determining the seriousness of the crime. Crimes of passion draw lesser penalities than those committed with malice aforethought. Deliberate, cold-blooded murder draws worse penalties than accessory to murder or manslaughter (or at least it should).
But there has been some equivocation in recent years. Those who drive drunk and cause fatal accidents are being treated like murderers in our courts. I'm not so sure this represents the exercise of judicial equity in supplying defects in legislative intent or is in response to understandable public outrage. But legislatures should make clear in well-framed statutes that repeat drunken drivers who leave death in their wake do in fact merit trial as murderers and not leave it up to the varying determinations of local judges.
It is in the area of racially or sexually related crimes where motives have caused the most confusion. Crimes with this link are judged as more serious than otherwise. But when victims become privileged by their identities, we are entering a thicket of moral pretentiousness. How is it worse when the victim is black or homosexual and (a necessary corollary to this politically correct indulgence) the suspect or defendant is white or heterosexual? Does this imply that when white kills white or black kills black, the crime, other things being equal, should be deemed less serious?
And this is not merely academic. There is a lot more black on black crime than white on black. Law-abiding blacks unfortunate enough to be living in high crime areas are forgotten victims to our major media. That, after all, doesn't support the well-worn liberal thesis that America is a racist country. And we're supposed to believe we're a homophobic country too when straight men murder gay men.
Motivation matters most to authorities trying to solve crimes or convict defendants, but it is hardly an excuse for crime. Degrees of culpability or responsibility are certainly relevant in fixing penalties, but they matter not at all just because crimes are committed across racial or sexual lines.
Mason Tvert, our own Michael Moore
Editor: If you define a Michael Moore as someone who practices political provocation, lacks manners, and dishes it out but can't take it, Denver's own Mason Tvert, pot prophet and McCain hater, would seem to qualify. So our contributor Jim Krefft can testify from experience. He writes: My War with Mason Tvert
Standing up for conservative values means more than just voting for conservative candidates. It also requires the backbone to debate and stand up to fringe radically liberal elements in a respectful but decisive manner. I thought about this during a recent go-round with Mason Tvert, the leading advocate for legalized marijuana in Colorado.
Several weeks ago Mason Tvert and minions launched the website Drugdealercindy.com as a rather tasteless advocacy for marijuana and against consumable alcohol. The website features a number of unproven claims against prospective First Lady Cindy McCain and is strange in its singling out of one of the only women in the beer industry. Among them are claims that Mrs. McCain is a drug dealer due to her ownership of Hensley & Company, an Arizona beer distributor, and the statement that she "makes millions of dollars dealing a drug far more harmful then marijuana".
Disturbingly, the site also calls for patrons to download and print out wanted posters of Cindy McCain for display in public locations. Finally, the site asks for people to sign a petition so that: "…Our country should not punish adults for simply making the rational, SAFER choice to use marijuana instead of alcohol for relaxation and recreation." Some of these themes seemed in error to me so I called Mason Tvert to ask about them. What happened next is the purpose of this writing.
After leaving a question on Tvert's machine, I received a call from him. After a rather heated exchange he claimed that I was the only person in America who felt this way about the website. I was about to respond that this was unprovable when Mason hung up on me, saying he didn't "have time for this." If you're wondering why someone who has control of his own schedule would call someone else and then hang up on them, then you're thinking like me. In general it is not proper phone or debate etiquette to hang up on someone when you yourself are the initiator of the conversation.
So I then wrote Mason asking him for a discussion of both debate etiquette and phone manners. He responded once but has since declined to comment on my inquiries on the subject. By email he informed me: "When you made it clear your sole purpose was to argue and not to discuss anything relevant whatsoever, I came to the conclusion that the discussion was not worth my time." After a few more ideological grenades Mason informed me that he felt that "You heard this message, hence I consider the effort successful." I think this is a shame. By ducking discussion and ignoring proper debate procedures, Mason discredits his own movement and his as yet evident message. Moreover, by being rude, and displaying bad phone manners he brings up serious questions about himself as a political advocate. I hope Mason reads this writing and I hope he accepts my challenge to a debate on phone manners, etiquette and the responsibilities of a political advocate.
In this political season we are often faced with those who disagree with us or those who disparage things that we hold dear. I for one look forward to such times, and certainly think that it is free debate and respectful conversation that has made this country what it is today. A good debate is important not just for the people but for the issues themselves and even more, the fundamental ideas behind those issues. But what happens when the debate stops being respectful? And what does it mean for the ideas, and for America in general, when the debate ceases to be about substance or the people and becomes about raw emotion and personal vanity?
