Sexy redhead Jayme Hays didn't have a big dick in a while so she decided to come to CumFiesta. She showed the password to Tyler Steel who happily let her in. First he surprised her with a big dong doggy style then it was time for a blowjob. He fucked her some more from the back, then sideways. Time for a BJ with a really deep deep throat. Then Jayme climbed on top and Tyler fucked her in both directions. He went down, licked her pussy and tongue fucked her. Tyler shagged her wildly in two more positions and finally he cumfiestad into her face.

Brian Scott's arrival at Richard Petty Motorsports for his first full season of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competition will usher in a return to a familiar number for the Richard Petty co-owned race team. The Ford Scott will drive in the upcoming season will carry the No. 44, a change from the No. 9 carried by the car the last several years.
"After the 2015 season, we had an opportunity to make some changes and get the No. 44 back," Petty said. "We felt that it was good timing. We really wanted to get that number back in the Petty family where it really belongs. Brian is coming on board, and he really hasn't had a number in the Sprint Cup Series. Everything has just come together to really bring back a Petty tradition. For us, the numbers are more than just a number you could say. They really represent our family history, our legacy and everyone who has worked for us or raced for us. We take a lot of pride in that and are glad to have the 44 back home."
Maurice Petty, Richard Petty's brother, competed with the No. 44, along with the No. 41 and other numbers, in the early 1960s. Richard Petty's son, Kyle Petty raced a Petty-owned No. 44 at NASCAR's top level in the late 1990s. Also, Kyle Petty raced the No. 44 in the ARCA Racing Series, and drove the number into victory lane in his first ARCA race in 1979.
"It's good to see the 44 number back where it belongs. I grew up knowing that my uncle Maurice raced the 41, my grandfather raced the 42 and my father raced the 43," Kyle Petty said. "I would go on to race the 44, and Adam eventually drove the 45. With Pete Hamilton driving the 40 at one time for PE, to me, those numbers were always 'Petty' numbers. I'm looking forward to seeing Brian Scott carrying on our tradition."
The former incarnation of Richard Petty Motorsports inherited the No. 9 through a merger with Gillett-Evernham Motorsports in 2009 and has competed with the number ever since. RPM also fields the No. 43, made famous by the team's co-owner. RPM's other driver, Aric Almirola, will continue to drive a No. 43 Ford in 2016.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Two American hikers — including a Montgomery County native — have been in prison in Iran for more than 500 days, accused of spying.
The families of the men, Josh Fattal (photo, right) and Shane Bauer (photo, left), being held are getting some help from local businesses to boost the fight to bring them home.
"It's been really, really difficult to be living through 17 and a half months with Josh and Shane still in detention."
Josh Fattal's mother, Laura, who lives in Elkins Park, puts on a brave face — but the mom in her makes it clear that no part of their ordeal has become routine.
"It is a heartbreak that this event has taken on such dimension. I don't sleep through a night, my husband does not sleep through a night," she said.
Several restaurants in Elkins Park, Dresher, Jenkintown, and Mt. Airy have pledged to donate a portion of the money they bring in to the "Free the Hikers" movement.
"I hope that they get out. It's just such an injustice." said Peggy Zwerver with Earth Bread & Brewery.
As for Laura Fattal, she's heard little lately from the Iranian government, but holds out hope for a humanitarian release like that granted to Sarah Shourd (photo, center), their hiking partner and Shane Bauer's fiancé. And she keeps writing to her son every day, even if the words are more therapeutic to her than they might be to him.

It's not that I'm afraid of the downfall of the library, it's that if I read via Kindle, I'd have to actually purchase all the books that I read rather than borrow them from the library. I'm a bit too cheap right now for a Kindle. It totally works for me to borrow from the library, so why would I change that? It's not like buying the book supports the medium of e-books - you have to buy the Kindle to begin with, so Amazon's getting their money.
I think one of my biggest arguments against getting a Kindle is that most of the books I'd want on the Kindle, because I read and re-read them, I already own a hardcopy of. I'd have to re-purchase them to get the e-reader version and that's another knock against my frugal side. Too bad Amazon doesn't provide a discount on books for Kindle that were originally purchased through them. It's not like they don't have all of our purchases in a database somewhere anyway.
I did have to laugh at an article I read recently about how the Kindles are quite popular with the Romance Novel reading crowd - you can be reading it without displaying to the world the covers that aren't always what you want people to see you holding. Since I'm not in that category of readers, I don't have a lot of added incentive to get one.
I'm quite interested in the technology though, and how they can create the reading screen that doesn't have the usual glare issues. Technology is so much fun!
I guess for now I have to settle for my iPhone and just keep waiting for the right time to get a Kindle (or iPad!).

The new Apple phones iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C achieved impressive sales figures in the first three days of availability, even if the numbers are misleading if you compare them with those achieved in the past years and regional availability was higher. According to further analysis, the new iPhone 5C does not impress too much, and rumors from various sources say that Apple has already reduced its production.
Last week, the Wall Street Journal and Reuters quoted anonymous sources close to Apple partners who stated that the manufacturer has already reduced the number of ordered iPhone 5C devices and NPD DisplaySearch says the same thing. According to sources quoted by the market analysis agency, Apple asked its partners Foxconn and Pegatron to reduce the iPhone 5C production with 35 percent, a sign that market interest for the new iPhone 5 wrapped in a polycarbonate housing is less than anticipated and that the idea of using this model as a popular base product, while 5S should have remained a top model but has not really paid off.
This reception is disappointing but not dramatic for Apple because, beyond the disappointment of market strategies which didn't came to fruition, the company receives requests to increase the 5S model. If for iPhone 5C was requested a decline in production, the iPhone 5S was requested an increase of 75 per cent, and this will be reflected in a higher profit margin for Apple.

Will these ever be recovered?
The Comptroller and Auditor General of India has asked the state government to take speedy and effective action for realising Rs 10,221 crore of unrealised revenue from various departments. The report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (revenue receipts) for the year that ended 31 March 2009, which was tabled in the assembly on Thursday, indicates the largest number of outstanding audit observations in the department of commercial taxes (11,664) valued at Rs 2,874 crore, followed by tax on vehicles (1,587) valued at Rs 2,226 crore, mines and minerals (293) valued at Rs 1,596 crore and land revenue (7,794) valued at Rs 1,595 crore.
The report states, "It indicates that the heads of departments/offices, whose records were inspected by the AG, failed to discharge due responsibility as they did not send reply to a large number of IRs/paragraphs and also did not take any remedial measures for the defects, omissions and irregularities pointed out by the accountant general."
The report points out that the arrears of revenue in sales tax, taxes on vehicles, land revenue, purchase tax on sugarcane and taxes and duties on electricity, etc. amounted to Rs 6,507.5 crore, of which Rs 3,157.11 crore has been pending for more than five years.
The position of arrears of revenue at the end of 2008-09 in respect of the registration and other departments was not furnished by the government despite being requested in April 2009 and reminded in June 2009, the report observes.
It also said that the expenditure on collection in taxes on vehicles and stamp duty and registration fee was higher than the all-India average and the government needed to look into this aspect.
A test check of the records of sales tax, land revenue, taxes on vehicles, stamp duty and registration fee and other departmental offices conducted during 2008-09 revealed under assessment/ short levy/ loss of revenue, etc amounting to Rs 876.90 crore in 2,273 cases.
Will these ever be recovered?

Motherhood is
because as cute as they are, those sweet little hands are germ magnets.
and you can bet I'm gonna catch whatever he does,
usually right about the time he finally gets his energy back.
This is what my week looked like... LOTS of water, hot tea and teaspoonfuls of chopped raw garlic!! Daddy got the cold first from work, and passed it onto the bitty, who passed it on to me. They are both doing better, but mommy is still working on recovering.
I now have a daily habit of 1tsp of raw garlic to help boost my immune system and fight off colds and such. I have several friends who SWEAR by garlic (check out here and here for more information), and it certainly seems to have helped kick my cold faster (without any medications!)
I gave in a put up a temporary baby gate to the kitchen, which kept the bitty contained in the playroom so I could lay on the couch and watch him. I also temporarily activated the magnetic locks on the kitchen cabinets (that usually stay unlocked) so he couldn't get into them. And since we don't do TV in this house, a few new library books helped keep him entertained!
Normally, I don't believe in baby proofing or blocking kids off from areas because I think it's better to actually parent them and teach them what to touch and not touch. (Exception of course for the immediately dangerous things- like chemicals.) But that means bring with them constantly and interacting, correcting, and redirecting. Which is quite a bit of work with a 15 mo old and with this cold eeking out all my energy, I decided a few days of passive parenting wouldn't hurt!
What are your secrets for surviving a cold with a very active toddler??

I'm back-with lightbulbs!
We have just returned from 6 days in Adelaide. We drove (9 and a half hours including stops) and stayed with Luke's cousin, her husband and adorable almost 1 year old. The cubby in the photo above is in their back yard and my girls spent a LOT of time out enjoying it. We went to a family do & visited Luke's Nana (Luke is from there originally), went to the Adelaide zoo (awesome! Recommend it!), went to a car boot sale (Luke's cousin is just as into 2nd hand goodies as me, lucky we took the trailer!) and generally spent time hanging out and going to the park.
Can I tell you how lovely it was? It was SO lovely.
And this afternoon I was feeling grouchy with one of the kids and wondering why being on holidays was so fricken easy and without cranking. *cue lightbulb*
There are a few reasons I think.
-Luke was there. 2 parents definitely makes the load easier. Props to all the single parents out there. Also 2 other adults were around a lot of the time as backup. And I got a fair whack of child free time.
-the kids were busy exploring new places and having new experiences. Having a great outside space to play in was so awesome.
-but here is the big honest one. I'm just going to say it and hope I'm not judged too harshly. I controlled my temper because there were other people around. Every time I felt myself getting cross I just stopped myself from raising my voice or cutting off the kids from protesting and actually listened to them and helped out accordingly. And surprise surprise they were much happier and more co operative.
This afternoon I realized that I am capable of parenting without losing my temper. It was such an empowering thought. I'm sure there are 3 other people that will be pretty happy about it too.

For those of you that don't already know what a reverse bucket list is, its basically a list of things that were on your bucket list but you've already completed them. For me my bucket list sees new additions all the time, although I've never really had one written down until now, it's always been more of a mental bucket list.
These are just a few of the things that I've done that have been really amazing!
Flying a plane.
I can honestly say the most amazing thing I've ever done was fly a plane. Not only did I fly it, I flew solo. At the beginning of this year I went to a school for two weeks where you learn how to fly a plane, the Walsh Memorial Flying School. It was one of the most surreal experiences knowing that I was doing it by myself after all the practising and training. My instructor pushed me really hard but I'm so grateful that he did. It gave me a boost of self confidence that I never thought something like that could, even now after 8 months I sometimes just sit and think "Hell yes, I flew a fricken plane!"
|My instructor took this photo after I had just landed from my first solo flight.
Travel to England.
About two years ago I went on a huge overseas trip with my family. We went to London, Liverpool, Rome, Paris and Seoul. Its not the first time that I had been overseas but I hadn't been any where since I was about 7. It was so fascinating to see how everyone lives, what's different and just really put into perspective just how small New Zealand really is. The reason that travelling to England was on my bucket list is because my dad is from there and it has also been a place that has enticed me for a long time.
|Me when I was in England, we stopped just so I could get a photo with the phone box since we
don't have anything like that in New Zealand.
Go to a music festival
At the beginning of 2014 I went to a music festival here in New Zealand called Parachute. It is a Christian music festival that happened every year. It was an amazing experience being completely immersed in the whole atmosphere for 3 daysAfter the festival had finished they announced that that would be the last one ever, and it was only my first. I was so keen to go back, but now I'm set on going to a big music festival over seas.

Possibly the most interesting finding however is that men with more highly educated wives are happier:
A married man's chances of achieving a high level of happiness - above a score of seven - are improved by 8 per cent for every extra year of education his wife has. But married women's happiness level is unaffected by their husband's years of schooling.
Women do not care how dumb their husbands are - but they feel happier if the men are smarter than they are, the study shows.

Mark 1:14-20
1:14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God,
1:15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news."
1:16 As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea–for they were fishermen.
1:17 And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you fish for people."
1:18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him.
1:19 As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets.
1:20 Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him.
A Question or Two:
- Why did all this happen after John was arrested?
- Where was Jesus before this?
Some Longer Reflections:
…after John was arrested…
This past week I heard a man on the radio. He was talking about getting arrested back in the 1960s because he sat down at a "whites only" lunch counter. I also heard on the radio about the death of the man convicted in the deaths of civil rights workers James Earl Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner. In 1964, as part of the Freedom Summer Drive, Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner were working to register voters in Mississippi. They were young, about the same age as my youngest son. And they were killed by white supremacists. Some people today might call the killers "fine people." I would not. Killers are killers, and those who join groups that supported the killers are not fine people. I might call them "accomplices-after-the-fact."
Showing up and announcing that the world was about to change did not bring safety (or even success) for John the Baptist. It did not bring safety or success for the Freedom Riders back in the 1960s. A member of the congregation I served 30 years ago was one of those Freedom Riders. She told me about her experience when I had expressed frustration at the state of civil rights issues in our country. "Nothing changed," I had said. Then she told me her story. "A lot changed," she said, "but we are not done."
I wonder if that is what Jesus said "…after John was arrested…"?
It is clear that my teacher, the Freedom Rider, was correct. We are not done. Not even nearly. The people who refused to serve Black people at their lunch counters believed that any "race mixing" violated their religious principles. The Supreme Court has been asked to consider whether "religious principles" allow people to refuse to serve people to whom they object. Lunch counters or wedding cakes, it's the same issue.
We are not done.
Federal judges struck down North Carolina's congressional map this past week because it was obviously drawn to create and preserve a political advantage. Take a look at the map ( go to https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/09/us/north-carolina-gerrymander.html). If that is not gerrymandering, the word has no meaning.
We are not done.
Read through the tweets (some of them perhaps generated by bots?) that erupted when Doug Jones won the special election in Alabama. They are full of claims that lots and lots and lots of Black people voted illegally.
We as SO not done.
There are many things with which we are not finished: affordable health care, protection from harassment in the workplace (and any place), protection for people who come to our country for political freedom, religious liberty, and economic opportunity. This is just the short list.
So listen to what Jesus says after John was arrested: "Their time is up," he says. "The new day is on the horizon."
Well, actually that was Oprah, but Jesus says the same thing. He even uses the same basic metaphor to talk about how near the Reign of God has come. The word translated as "has come near" (ἤγγικεν) is the word you would use to describe the moment just before the sun breaks above the horizon. Get up early, an hour or two before sunrise, and wait for the sun. Watch the horizon. It is still night, and will be for a long, cold time, but you can see the sky getting lighter, even two hours before sunrise. Watch the horizon. Just before the sun actually rises, the horizon looks as if it were boiling. And then the first edge of the sun pops up, and the whole sky changes. In the next few minutes, I swear I can feel the earth turning under my feet, and then the sun breaks free and rises. Even on the coldest winter day, you can feel the warmth.
Do you suppose Oprah knew what the text for this Sunday would be?
You don't have to like Oprah, or want her to run for president to feel the rightness of what she said.
Before you preach, listen to the old song, "Here Comes The Sun." You could listen to the Beatles version (you can find it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/NI5iR52f65o). Or you could listen to Paul Simon sing it with Graham Nash and David Crosby (https://youtu.be/muFOeZSIC2U). Make sure that you listen to Richie Havens (https://youtu.be/VBbXKsKXyNU).
But above all, wait and watch. The Christian faith does not teach you to put up with the way things have always been. As my teacher taught me: "A lot changed," she said, "but we are not done."

#TMS2013 PT1: "rare earth industry cage fighting at its best"
The Technology Metals Summit – Renewable Energy: the next industrial revolution or #TMS2013 as I referred to is over and I am a little worse for wear. Literally shook everyone's hands and ran to the airport.
Yes, I selected London for respite with little care to detail. Overindulged in champagne in a dingy pub, ate German chocolate covered gingerbread, over inflated my toxicity rates with bread containing gluten and ate cheese that was aptly referred to as "Stinky Bishop" at tea time that I will never touch or hope to smell again.
So if you are wondering where your thank you notes is, let me assure you that I will be in the office this weekend and it is on its way…next week. I wanted to post all of the PPTs but within 16hrs of a final presenter, I received a threatening letter on the positing of one of the PPTs and had a flashback to one of my esteemed colleagues during #TMS2013 came to mind. "You are going to post my quote as the tweet of the week, right?" he said. I sighed in response. No, I thought – posting "rare earth industry cage fighting at its best…" is not within my best practice mantra. This said I am indeed sharing it with you this morning because I have decided that it is my writing that is missing on ProEdgeWire and while I always enjoyed my all-positive perspective, I do draw the line at disrespect and misguided communications with the intent to misinform.
#TMS2013 started with the last minute hospitality reception in the Royal Suite on Saturday afternoon that started out harmless enough. Jet lagged Australians started arriving while I finished an excellent interview with Chris Tonkin from Arafura on how they intend on carving a billion dollars down from their budget in the adjoining room. A Bay St. promoter who has recently fallen off the wagon felt he was doing me a service by being accompanied by half a dozen characters of suspicious means and consumed booze like frat boys and ran a multi-grand drinking bill they graciously left for me. If that was not enough of a thank you, one of my guests from the States sent me an email that he was being sexted (that's Gen-Y lingo for sex texting) by one of the Bay Street promoters illustrious guests who then started harassing me…this said, Sue was managing the noise and the panels flowed like a river full of information, knowledge and vision.
Day one was intense, with Ron MacDonald, Executive Chairman and Director — American Vanadium Corp. kicking off the morning with his powerful forecasts of the future in our sector. Being the catalyst for this year's theme, his speech was aptly titled: Renewable Energy, the next industrial revolution. Perfect yang to my opening yin presentation where I featured the REE Leaders Index since I launched REE Stocks Company Ltd. last year. Here's the visual:
Get our daily investorintel update
Now we all know that I am an optimist and very bull on the future of our sector, so let me counter attack the above graph with the last 5-day's action in our newly formatted graphing system:
Yuriy has literally just completed the finishing touches for our rare earth index and ROW market indicator that is calculated by FTSE and to which I was in London about this week, while of course – taking a much needed vacation. So please do take some time and see how you can evaluate our market daily, weekly, monthly or annually that myself, Raj and Yuriy review daily for the last year and a bit since launching REE Stocks Company Ld. (www.REE-Stocks.com) last year.
The first panel #TMS2013 Panel A: Law of Attraction – Magnets in Renewable Energy: production today, demand tomorrow, impact of Dy-Less and Dy-Free magnets…was moderated by James Hedrick, President — Hedrick Consultants Inc. & Sr. Editor, REEHandbook.com. As per usual, James kicked off a strong debate and this panel brought up the fact that there are very few magnet manufacturers in the ROW and why dysprosium magnets continue to dominate the market. While the discussion of substitute or Dy-Free magnets was raised, this group of experts were far from believers that they would sustain any relevant market positioning. James also said that end users are not seeing the prices of resources dropping while the automotive sector is rebounding, generating more demand.
Noteworthy is that many patents will expire in 2014, which should 'embolden' Chinese manufacturers and there is a risk of 'market flooding'. Research and high technology remain the most competitive aspects: the stronger a magnet, the smaller the end-use application can be (batteries, electric motors). And it was discussed that there is a strong need for technological advancement which is where the West can compete with China vs. the costs for processing and there was a conversation on the quest for manufacturing advantages and improvements. Moreover, in one of main target markets, wind turbines, the mechanical aspects are starting to outweigh magnetic issues. Engineering issues limit the size needed to achieve required energy output. New materials are needed to deal with stress on turbine blades – a new potential application for some rare earths (scandium).
Please note that I will post all of the PPTs by Friday at noon, once I complete the process of requesting authorization and final edits from everytone involved. From the dinner honoring Dr. Anthony ('Tony') Mariano with the TMS Lifetime Achievement Award that Constantine Karayannopoulos, CEO for Molycorp graciously presented to Ian Gandel, non-managing Director for Alkane Resources aptly described what was needed for financing and survival in these markets on the capital panel…this was an outstanding opportunity for the industry to engage in not only where we have been; but where we are heading. And a glorious one at that if you share my position that renewable energy and the innovative technologies that require rare earths and critical minerals like graphite, vanadium and tantalum are the catalysts for these gates of growth.

A recent post on Fastcompany.com by Jamey Boiter asked the question, "Can brands launch sustainable campaigns without being accused of greenwashing?"
But, I would like to take this question one step further and introduce the public. How can the general public prevent greenwashing?
Recently, there has been an incredible amount of large corporations getting on the green bandwagon. But, is it greenwashing? Is it just marketing to boost profits or are companies really dedicated to sustainability? What are companies' incentives to 'go green'? How should we, the public, hold greenwashing companies accountable? How can we discover greenwashing? How can we shape the decision making process for companies to avoid greenwashing?
1. Do your research. Make sure to check product chemicals and materials. Don't just believe the labeling, read the ingredients list for all natural products and materials. Stick to brands that you know are eco-friendly.
2. Hold greenwashing companies accountable. Don't buy from companies with history of greenwashing. Chances are if the truth is reflected in the sales, next time the company will not make the same mistake.
3. Be skeptical until proven environmentally safe. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Think about the life cycle of the product. Is the product chemical free? Can it be easily recycled? Does it contain post-consumer materials?
4. Be an advocate. Once you have done your research and backed it up with sound science, educate others with your knowledge and wisdom.
Walmart has recently developed a worldwide sustainability index initiative. The objective is to increase supply chain transparency and provide customers with product information. According to Walmart, "With this initiative, we are helping create a more transparent supply chain, driving product innovation and ultimately providing our customers with information they need to assess products' sustainability"
The initiative is broken down into three steps 1) Supplier assessment 2) Lifecycle analysis database and 3) A simple tool for customers. Over 100,000 global suppliers will be evaluated on their own companies' sustainability. The key areas of the survey focus on energy, climate, material efficiency, natural resources, people and community. Walmart plans to collaborate with universities, suppliers and retailers to create a database of information on products' lifecycles, from cradle to grave.
In addition to the sustainability index, Walmart has pledged to eliminate 20 million metric tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from their global supply chain by the end of 2015. This is equivalent to 150 percent of the company's estimated global carbon footprint growth over the next 5 years.
The sustainability index initiative is one way for corporate companies to be sustainable and avoid greenwashing. Increasing the transparency of products to customers is the first step to check the sustainability of a company. The next step is to hold companies responsible if they do not meet expectations. In the post, Boiter suggests, "They [brand managers] must be students of their consumers to fully understand them." If a company is debating whether to incorporate sustainability into their business plan, consumers must strongly signal their tastes and preferences for sustainable business practices. The sustainability index initiative is the first step to," Create a new retail standard for the 21st century."
What do you think about Walmart's sustainability index? Should it be the new retail standard for the 21st century? How else can retail companies avoid greenwashing and be sustainable? Please share your thoughts.

Kaminey! Really Slick!
Today I watched KAMINEY. My first impression was…"Wow! This is pretty original." The story was pretty good. The acting was good. But i guess shahid kapoor can emulate a little less of SRK. Priyanka was good as usual. The anti-social elements were portrayed in a near hollywood style. My favorite part would be the abundant use of regional languages. Especially bengali. No babumoshai and such crap. Real contemporary dialogues. I guess same goes true fot the Marathi as well. The only complains I have is the excessive use of gun-violence which at some points seemed unnecessary and the running time. The film would have been better if it would have been wrapped in 100 minutes. All in all, a good movie. A step in the right direction. And a pretty big one at that.

A 15-BAY golf driving range complete with a video room, cafe and shop could be built inside Hereford Racecourse.
Plans have been submitted by Halo Leisure to build the range on the site of the current practice area at Hereford Municipal Golf Course.
The enclosed area will have a 10-metre high fence around it with plans for a new access route across the racecourse, which borders the land.
Alex Haines, centre manager at the Halo-owned Hereford Leisure Centre, said the group was "keen to develop golf within the city".
Racecourse bosses say they are aware of the plans but do not believe spectators watching horse races will have their view hampered.
A decision on whether the plan can go ahead is likely to be made within four to five weeks.

It's a strange thing when you decide all of a sudden to do something with little prior knowledge. People don't declare that they're going to try out for a professional sports team without having, at the very least, knowledge of the fundamentals of that sport. People don't decide to pursue an interest in painting without at least knowing a little bit about art and what someone can do with it.
Yet here I am, deciding that I'm going to write a full-fledged musical, without really knowing anything about musicals other than "It's like a play but there's a lot of singing." The first step of the journey, then, is to have a better understanding of what a musical is, including structures and rules, so that I can have a general idea of what exactly I'm getting into.
I'm very lucky to live in an area that has a public library with access to a variety of resources (and you might be, too. Please check out your local public library, because there's some pretty cool stuff going on in there), and was able to get my hands on a book called Writing Musical Theater by Allen Cohen and Steven L. Rosenhaus.
In general, I'm a fan of "insider"-type knowledge. The podcasts I listen to are usually ones that provide insight into the creation of some of my favorite things, and any time I can read or consume something that provides more history and context to things I enjoy (such as reading the oral history of Saturday Night Live), I come away awed and inspired.
The first half of the book is "nuts-and-bolts," going over all of the minutiae of the different elements of musicals, from what goes into the libretto or book of the show, down to the nitty-gritty of the different musical elements. Even if you're a Broadway Superfan, I'm sure that you would enjoy learning more about what goes into the show, as well as tips and tricks for making sure that nothing in a musical goes to waste.
The first half of the book is where I learned the most about what exactly a musical is. It's where I learned, for example, that songs and music are not simply shoehorned into an existing play, but they, in fact, serve a dramatic function in the whole story, whether it's to move the story forward or to make a character more likable and appealing.
(If you're thinking, "Well, that's just common knowledge," keep in mind that I didn't realize there were Nazis in The Sound of Music until years after I first saw the movie. I always assumed the story ended at what is actually the halfway point.)
The second half of the book is all about actually writing a show, and, for someone about to wade into those waters for the first time, the information they provided was extremely helpful. The authors "write" two shows at the same time, illustrating the differences between adapting an existing work into a musical compared to conjuring up a new, original idea. They go through writing character sketches, scene summaries, and go through the process of "song spotting," or identifying the optimal places for music and song to be introduced. The authors also go through the process of writing some of the songs from both of the shows, providing insight into deciding not only what character is singing, but also what they are singing and how they are singing it.
In summary, I gleaned a lot of knowledge from this book, and I took a copious amount of notes. While reading this book may not guarantee that I'm going to write a smash Broadway hit, it has given me the knowledge and the confidence to go forth and see what I can create.
And who knows, maybe if this musical does become the smash hit I hope it becomes, maybe I'll save a couple of tickets for Allen and Steven. After all, they've been tremendous teachers for the last month or so.

When God Talks
God wrote some of His Word directly on tablets of stone (Deuteronomy 9:10), and the Holy Spirit inspired chosen men of God to write the rest (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Unlike any other religious text, the Bible is not only internally consistent, but also historically and scientifically accurate, as well as tried, true, and pure (2 Samuel 7:28; Psalm 18:30; Proverbs 30:5; Isaiah 40:8; 2 Timothy 2:15).
Archaeological and scientific discoveries and advances increasingly support corresponding facts in the Bible. The state of the art and of knowledge in all these disciplines changes, and their theories come and go, but the Word of God is eternal and unchanging (John 1:1; Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 24:35).
Many Biblical prophecies, such as those concerning the earthly ministry of the Messiah, have already been fulfilled exactly, with astronomical odds against this happening by chance. Those prophecies and promises not yet fulfilled will one day come to pass, and we should live accordingly, in faith and not in unbelief (Hebrews 4:1-7).
Jesus Christ, Son of God, spoke the universe into existence and saw that it was good (Genesis 1; Hebrews 11:3; 2 Peter 3:5). He used the power of His tongue to heal (Luke 5:13; 17:14; 18:42; John 5:8-9), forgive sins (John 8:11), cast out demons (Matthew 8:16), lead others to believe in Him (John 8:30), and even to raise the dead (John 11:43-44; 5:28-29).
His Word is sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12; Ephesians 6:17), piercing straight to the heart to convict us of our sins and of our need for His saving grace. For those who hear, believe, and act upon His Word, it cleanses us from sin (Ephesians 5:26), sustains us (Matthew 4:4), blesses us (Luke 11:28), identifies us with God (John 8:47; 1 John 2:5), and gives eternal life (John 5:24-26). Jesus withered a barren fig tree with a single utterance (Mark 11:14, 20-22), and when He returns, His Word will defeat all His enemies (Revelation 19:11-16).
Knowing this, how should we choose our own words? Words have the power to build up and to tear down. With our tongue we can bring joy, love, truth, and comfort, or incite anger, hated and strife (Philippians 2:14-16; James 3). We can glorify God with words of praise and thanksgiving, or we can dishonor Him with filthy speech and blasphemy (Ephesians 5:4,6,19-20).
Like Jesus, we can speak the truth of Scripture to war against the devil and watch him flee (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10-11). Or, like Satan, we can twist and corrupt that truth (Genesis 3: 1-5; John 8:44) so that we are false teachers speaking lies (2 Corinthians 2:17; 4:2; Matthew 7:15).
When we face Jesus Christ at the judgment, we will have to give account for every idle word (Matthew 12:36-37). Not just for lies, gossip, backbiting, and slander, which we know God hates (Psalm 101:5; Proverbs 10:18), but for which His Son has already paid the price in full by dying on the cross. "Idle" words imply those words spoken without much thought or care – not necessarily harmful in themselves, but perhaps preventing an opportunity to encourage, exhort, or witness (Romans 10:17; Acts 4:31). Do we chat about our latest fashion finds or football scores to fill the awkward silence, shutting out the Holy Spirit's voice prompting us to tell someone about Jesus?
As we present our bodies to Him as a holy, acceptable living sacrifice (Romans 12:1), surely our tongue should be the member we especially consecrate to His service. When God speaks, may we listen, believe, and do what He says, following His perfect will for our lives.

So true -- it is worth the wait and shutting out the clamor around us to hear His voice of love, comforting and leading us.

God talks to us by His Word - Bible, but also He can talks to us by people, by situations, by thoughs and dreams - but in every case we should pray and check it with Bible.ReplyDelete
Heartly greetings and blessings for You.
Dear Zim,ReplyDelete
That's an excellent point, that God may speak to us in many ways, but He will never say anything contrary to what is in His Word.
May you have a blessed week!
Fulfilled prophecy is the strongest proof that the Bible was written under the inspiration of God. No other book, religious or secular, contains any fulfilled prophecy.ReplyDelete
One example: Edger Cayce once prophesied that Atlantis would rise out of the sea before the year 2000. Twelve years on we're still waiting...

How true! Only God is the Alpha and Omega, able to transcend time and know the end from the beginning. But false prophets keep trying -- just another sign that the End Times are drawing near or already here.

I used to get frustrated with a religious paper that said, "God said it, I believed it, that settled it." It was settled when God said it. If we didn't believe it, we're the ones with a problem.ReplyDelete
So true, dfish! It's like a criminal saying he doesn't believe in the law that says murder is a crime, so therefore he doesn't have to go to jail if he kills someone. Our belief or lack thereof is irrelevant to God's existence and authority.ReplyDelete

We can use our tongues to shelter so many. Compliments, words of love, encouragement, blessing -- I want my words to be used of God.ReplyDelete

Today's stylish person is this talented girl from Slovak Republic. The thing that took my eye when I saw this outfit was the the top. I was asking myself why I didn't buy it from Starplaza considering is so chic. Then I clicked on it and realized it is a free dress. This is creativity. You can make something that is cheap look expensive. I love the simplicity of the entire outfit. You can't go wrong with only black and white! The makeup is also in the same color circle with the whole attire.

As promised yesterday, this is a continuation of my hapless adventures in Atlanta. For those of you who didn't read yesterday's blog – and shame on you – I lived in Atlanta, Georgia with my dad for the summer during the 1996 summer Olympics. I lived downtown, right on Peachtree Street and wandered the city, unsupervised, to my fifteen year old heart's content. As I wrote yesterday, I had a gun pulled on me and assuming it was a joke, laughed at the guy and walked off. Turns out he really was robbing people during the night and he made the morning news. I however didn't get mugged or shot because I was too stupid to know he was serious. Ignorance is truly bliss. I met this unsavory man at a little greasy spoon I was a waitress at called the Copper Kettle. It is exactly like a Waffle House, down to the yellow square tiles with black letters on the sign. Also you can order pancakes at the Copper Kettle whereas you are limited to waffles at Waffle House.
One day, as fate would have it, I had to go to the restroom while on duty. To go to the restrooms from the dining room, one goes through a swinging brown door with a smoke stained, greasy plexiglass circle window in it and behind that is a hallway. The layout of the hallway was as follows: on the right hand side was a door immediately opening into the store office, then a bit further down the hall was the woman's restroom and then the man's restroom just past that.
Background: This Copper Kettle was owned by an enormous Holiday Inn that was next door and every day someone from the Holiday Inn came down to our restaurant, chatted with the manager, Margaret, and they would empty the safe and the Holiday Inn employee would presumably return to the hotel where the hotel management would make one large bank deposit at the end of the day. I had seen this transaction time and again and knew what was more or less happening because Margaret had taken the time to explain this procedure to me. It happened every day and I never thought much about it.
Back to having to use the bathroom: So, I opened the swinging door and stepped into the hallway and movement in the office caught my attention. There were two men kneeling on the floor in front of the open safe removing money from it. I said hello and told them to have a good day, one guy waved a little at me, then I went to the bathroom, handled my business, washed my hands and came back out. I continued doing my job, earning money for my first car. About ten minutes after I had used the restroom, Margaret came flying through the swinging door, her dark curly hair flowing out behind her, yelling "We got robbed! Oh shit! We got robbed! The safe is EMPTY! OH MY GOD, WE'VE BEEN ROBBED!". I immediately knew the two guys I had said a cheerful hello to had been bad guys robbing us blind and not the nice hotel employees I had taken them to be. I was completely panic stricken for a few minutes. I couldn't say anything. I was fifteen and had no idea what the police would do to some airhead who said hello to thieves and then told them to have a good day. Hell, if they had asked I would have probably made them a waffle and gotten them a bag! I waited until everything cooled down out front and then pulled Margaret in the office and told her what I'd seen. It turns out I was right to be terrified because she asked me if I was F***ing stupid and I pretty much had to say that yes, in fact I was. That was one red faced, fire breathing, angry little woman! How could I have thought they were with the hotel? I had no idea. Why didn't I come get someone?! I thought they were with the hotel. How could I have possibly thought they were with the hotel?? I had no idea.
Well of course the police came and I had to give them a statement and try to recall anything I could about the two guys that I welcomed so warmly as they were robbing us clean. That was a horrible part too, because they didn't look like bad guys. They were just guys. There was nothing remarkable about them, they weren't even tattooed and pierced, they were just guys in polo shirts. I think one had brown hair. "Yes officer, they were in polo shirts. One had brown hair." "Well thank you ma'am, that's a huge lead! That narrows it down to under four billion people! Good job!". Somehow I didn't get fired, but probably only because there are laws against firing people with obvious mental deficiencies.
Also, just to wrap things up... One night my dad and I came back from romping all over Olympic Park and decided to pop into the Copper Kettle for a evening breakfast. When I came walking in the door, shouts and exclamations were hurled in my direction, the cook and a waitress both gave me a hug and one of the waitresses was crying as she hung around my neck. Another cook yelled at me "Where the HELL have you been?" and that was followed by similar questions from all of the restaurant staff. I was told I could have at least had the decency to call at least half a dozen times and the gay assistant cook said now that I was safe she was going to kick my ass. I just stood there a minute blinking at all of them. I looked up at dad and he looked down at me and we just looked back at them. I said "I was off tonight, I worked this morning". Then someone smacked the counter with her hand and said "THE BOMB?". Again I stood looking at her without the slightest comprehension of what she was talking about or why I would need a bomb. ("You da bomb" wasn't a saying yet). As it turned out what everyone was so upset about was the bomb that had gone off in Olympic Park thirty minutes prior to my dad and I arriving at the Copper Kettle. In fact, the last place we had been was the exact spot where it was set off. We didn't have a clue. I had heard no sirens or any explosion or noticed any more activity than what is usually going on in downtown Atlanta. Dad and I were completely oblivious to the whole thing, but since this was before cell phones were so commonplace, we hadn't been reachable since we weren't at home. They all knew I adored going to the park, I collected hundreds of those pins and spent all my time there. I suppose they all figured I'd been blown to smithereens. Nope. Not me. I was probably too busy wandering around seeing if I could hold a door open for a serial murderer.

Last Saturday we moved into our very first home together, far away from the city, deep into the mountain. I could not be more excited about living here but I'm also glad the moving part is over. What. A. Pain. We still don't have any running water and it feels a bit like camping, but my inspiration and happiness levels are super high. I'm feeling SO happy. Plus we found a little bird family living right next to our home. That's a probant sign right? Our well was finalized today and we are looking at having running water tomorrow maybe... What an adventure! You only loose your property virginity once and I will definitely never forget mine. Virginie XO

Hello... I'm wondering which henna kit to get: Celebration Ancient Sunrise Kit, or the regular Ancient Sunrise kit? My roots are mousy-brown with streaks of grey, and the rest of my hair is old chemically-processed hair covered with the regular Chai kit, which has resulted in a stubborn ORANGE, which really does not look good on me. The Chai might have worked fine if I didn't have the chemically-processed hair. What I'd like is to cover the orange. Later, as my hair continues to grow, maybe I'll try the Chai again, to see how it responds to my mousy-brown & grey hair. In the meantime, wondering if the Celebration kit would do a better job of covering my orange hair. Maybe the Medium Brunette kit....?
Thanks in advance for any help! :)

It's almost time to say goodbye to your outdoor herb garden for the season. If you planted your herbs last spring thinking fall would be a welcome relief from weeding, pruning and insect control, you might be surprised at how sad it can feel to abandon your pampered annuals and perennials for the cozy comforts of the indoors. There may be another option -- for some of your herbs, anyway. Bring them indoors with you.
Wintering Herbs Indoors
Before you grab a trowel and some pots, there are a few things to consider.
If you live in an area that experiences harsh winter weather, your perpetual outdoor herb garden will be restricted to winter hardy varieties like the mints (mint, catnip, lemon balm), some sage varieties, oregano and others. Plants like aloe vera, rosemary, pineapple sage and lemon eucalyptus won't overwinter outdoors, but they may survive inside.
Before you think about relocating or propagating herbs for an indoor garden, though:
Read up on the herb varieties you have, and know your growing zone. There's a handy herb listing at the left of this article that should help. If the herbs in your garden are hardy for your area and are nicely planted in the ground, your best option is to leave them where they are. Just give them a nice pruning and put down a layer of protective mulch. If you like the idea of keeping some winter herbs on your windowsill, consider taking cuttings to start in water. This won't work for all types of herbs. (Read on for more information.)
If you have herbs in pots on your deck or patio, freezing temps will kill their roots. To get them through the winter, you have a few options:
- Bury the pots in the ground and dig them up again in spring. This will work for winter hearty herb varieties.
- Replant the herbs in the ground. It's getting late in the year for this, but it may still be doable.
- Bring the pots indoors. This can work for most herb varieties if you have a sunny window in which to stow them. By sunny I mean around six hours of light a day (bright enough to cast a shadow). You can supplement with grow lights if you have to.
- Prune them first by removing a half to two thirds of the top growth (this varies from variety to variety, remove less for slow growers).
- Spray plants with insecticidal soap before you relocate them and check again for insect activity on moving day.
- If your herbs are big drinkers, give their pots a nice layer of mulch to keep the indoor watering schedule reasonable. (This works for plants that like higher humidity, too.)
- Isolate the refugees from your houseplants for the first couple of weeks to make sure no destructive insect freeloaders have survived to wreak havoc on your indoor garden.
- Although there are exceptions, most overwintering plants will be dormant or conserving energy during the winter months and will not require much if any fertilizer.
- Keep plants away from heat sources (like heat registers) and drafts (from windows and exterior doors).
Starting New Herb Plants in Water
If you have outdoor plants you'd like to propagate for spring planting, you may be able to get a jump on that now by starting stem cuttings in water. This can be a fun and inexpensive way to grow new plants. You can typically start stem cuttings any time during the growing season -- although I will admit that spring is usually a better time than fall. The fact is, though, that starting baby plants over the winter can be a fun project, and there's not that much of a down side. If it works, it works.
Here are some tips:
- Take six inch long stem cuttings.
- Use a very sharp knife to make the cuts.
- Cut plants at the juncture just below where new leaves emerge (leaf nodes).
- Strip the leaves on the lower two thirds of the stem.
- Take half again as many cuttings as you think you'll need. Some won't root.
- Place the stems in water. No leaves should extend below the water line. The container isn't too important as long as it's clean.
- Replace the water every three days or so with fresh. After about a month, you can cut back to once a week.
- Turn the container so all sides have equal access to the available light. (I try to turn containers every couple of days.)
- It may take up to six weeks for some cuttings to root, so be patient.
- Discard decaying stems promptly and replace the water.
- When cuttings have established roots of a half-inch to an inch-long, pot them. You can use starter pots and peat potting mix. For the mints and other moisture hungry herbs, as an interim step I like to repot into large freezer bags with three inches of potting soil on the bottom (around three seedlings per bag). When the weather starts to warm up, I transplant to large peat pots -- the last step before putting these new plants outdoors after the last frost in spring.
- Choose perennial plants. These varieties are relatively easy to root in water: basil, pineapple sage, catnip, rosemary, oregano, lavender and mint (mostly). I have trouble with mint from time to time. Not all herb varieties will root in water. If you want to try rooting an herb that isn't listed here, it never hurts to give it a try. You may want to hedge you bets by starting a few stems in sand, vermiculite or a soilless potting mixture (dust the stripped, soil bound ends with rooting compound first - you can find it at your local nursery).
Special hint: If you do transplant rooted stems to plastic bags, leave the bags slightly open and breath into them every few days -- plants like the CO2 (this works well in a terrarium or conservatory, too).

Happy to announce my publisher Mira has reduced the prices on the Southern Roads ebooks! In the Southern Roads series, three ex-military brothers set out to rebuild their hometown in the Georgia mountains that was destroyed ten years ago by an F-5 tornado. Their plan is bumping along fine until their army of men threaten mutiny over the lack of women. So the brothers place an ad in the newspaper of a northern town hit hard by the economy for "100 women with a pioneering spirit looking for a fresh start." And they wait.
The prequel novella, Baby, I'm Yours, was $2.99, now only 99 cents! And the first full-length story, Baby, Drive South, was $5.99, now only $2.99! Price reductions on most of the rest of the series too!
Here are the books/stories in chronological order:
Baby, I'm Yours
Baby, Drive South
Baby, Come Home
Baby, Don't Go
Baby, Hold On
Baby, I'm Back
Baby, It's Hot Outside (coming soon: July 2015!)

The Search for Cleon
3 comments:
- Michele Emrath said...
I love the art deco influence on her work like the "A Farewell To Arms" jacket and "Blue Voyage." But there's also something very Rubenesque about her pieces. I specifically see this in Allegretto.
Very intriguing and beautiful work. I became interested in bookplates and etching after reading "The People of the Book" by Geraldine Brooks, but the interest got lost along the way. You have renewed it and I look forward to more on your blog.
- nickcox said...
The photography volume, Picturing Hemingway, has nice reprints of several jackets including a couple by Cleon. As I recall they were this image from Farewell to Arms and the jacket for The Sun Also Rises.
- Lex, Agent of Chaos said...
Thank you again for this post. I just had to add this bio bit regarding Cleo's parents (my great great grandparents), which rather explains her spirit and means. Her mother was moved as a child from Constantinople to San Fransisco for her siblings' education (I believe, Cleo wrote it out herself, I need to reread). Her mother left the Greek Orthodox Church seeing it as negative towards women, and was a suffragette as early as the 1880s.
Her name was Helen Penelope, and she married Nicholas Damianakes, who ended up in California for business from Crete. He owned The California Peanut Co. in Oakland (the building is still there) and was frequently in newspapers there as a leading businessman in the city.
Cleo and the siblings were therefore raised trained in the arts and in a rather educated and liberal family, but they also all had the financial means to pursue their dreams.
I'm still working on putting all pics and Cleo's handwritten genealogy online.
Thank You Again;)
P.S. Look up "Trey Azagthoth" of the band "Morbid Angel" online. He is a great nephew of Cleo's.
