Lo Stagnone SPOT
Spot Lo Stagnone is our base point. It's located in Birgi village, between the cities of Trapani and Marsala.
We anchored on the picturesque north-western tip of Sicily. It is a region inhabited for centuries, famous for salt production, fantastic wine, unbelievable sunsets and wild nature.
This means that on free, windless days there are plenty ideas for spending time and places worth visiting.
Fortunately, there are not too many windless days and this is the main and most important feature of the spot.
Wind conditions are perfect for training - almost every day we have a constant, termic wind with the speed of 10 to 30 knots.
We ride and teach in a bay closed to the west by Santa Maria Island. As a result, the water is warm, flat, and the wind direction is practically constant.
The depth of the bay doesn't exceed 1 - 1.5 meters (we can walk all the way to the island by feet).
Shallow water is perfect for beginners and intermediate kitesurfers, because they can walk back from any point of the bay (we don't need motorboats assurance).
The advanced ones will appreciate the perfect flat appearing at some points.
In Sicily the ideal wind conditions go hand in hand with beautiful, sunny weather (cream with a high filter on the nose is a must).
Lo stagnone spot is full with kitesurfing school bases, thanks to which it teems with life from spring to autumn.
Our base is at the very center of this life.
Our kitesurfing school has a complete infrastructure:
There is a beachbar with fantastic drinks, where after an active day we gather for aperitivo at sunset.
There is a toilet with a changing room, which is not easy in these areas.
There is a chill zone - deckchairs, swings, wi-fi.
There is a beachboy, a compressor and grass under kites, we have a wide, comfortable access to the water.
There is also a parking and a charming deck next to the spot.

Re: Progress report -- Sprinter Class B RV
From a saftey concern, I'd be a bit concerned about your wife trying to ride a scooter or any motorcycle at her age given that she'd never riden one. You can get hurt pretty easily on them. To bad you couldn't fit a Rhino in your trailer and do away with the golf cart and scooter idea. ....sorry to rain on your parade, but reading your post that's what struck me.
Re: Progress report -- Sprinter Class B RV
The only way you can beat cubic inches is with cubic money.
Re: Progress report -- Sprinter Class B RV
I could make room for a Rhino instead of the golf cart. That just wouldn't work. Besides the fact that a Rhino is heavy, expensive, noisy (compared to an electric golf cart), harder to maintain plus the fact that we already own a cart, we need something that's licensed to drive on the street. My original plan, back when we were planning to buy a big Class A diesel pusher, was to pull a 24' trailer with a car and the golf cart and all the other stuff. With the smaller RV as a tow vehicle, the car had to go.
A perfect example of how we'd use them is one of our favorite stops, in Mount Dora, Florida. Mount Dora is a fantastic antiquing town, with lots of neat shops and good places to eat. There's an RV park about 2 miles from downtown Mount Dora. It's too far for us to walk. There's no way to drive the golf cart or a Rhino on the public streets. I'm not sure I can bike that far; in fact, I doubt it -- remembering that I also have to save strength for walking around town and to get back to the RV park. We really don't want to have to break camp and pack everything up just to drive the Sprinter 2 miles.
That leaves two choices -- call a taxi or ride the scooters. The taxi would be cheaper than buying the scooters, but not as much fun.
Re: Progress report -- Sprinter Class B RV
That's good to hear Don. You youngsters have fun on those scooters!!!! Good for you both! I'm lots of years behind you, but sure hope to be that active once i get to my mid sixties.
A news report last night was just talking about how baby boomers are reshaping what used to be thought of as retirement. No more shuffleboard or lawn bowling, it's more like riding a harley or playing sports ....just getting out and doing more than was ever done by the majority of previous retirees. Don, sounds like you two are leading the way. Good job. :)
Re: Progress report -- Sprinter Class B RV
I mentioned this before, somewhere, but traditionally, retirees downsize their homes and plan their retirement tax strategies in a manner that reflects a lower income when they retire. It's almost like they planned to pull in their heads like a turtle, and move at a corresponding pace.
Don't understand that. We need MORE money, because we're going to have more time to go places and do things. We need MORE space, because we're going to finally get to do the things we've been working towards all our lives. I have less "spare" time than ever, now that I'm retired. And, we have to move at a faster pace top get everything in!
Re: Progress report -- Sprinter Class B RV
Don, have you picked up your new RV yet? I'm anxious to see pictures of it once it is in your possession. I would also like to see a picture of the inside of your trailer once you have everything packed in it; I doubt there will be a wasted inch of room .
Re: Progress report -- Sprinter Class B RV
Yep, picked it up yesterday. I've been reading manuals and going over it with a fine tooth comb and just sitting it in, letting the various storage compartments tell me what they want to have in them. No pics, yet...I'm running a little late, today and gotta run. Maybe some pics over the weekend.
I drove it home from Jupiter, yesterday, about 40 miles -- liked it just fine on I-95. Funny story, I had not had a chance to read any manuals, and was thinking, "This thing must have cruise control, somewhere..." I was getting ready to pass someone, and reached for what I thought was the turn signal stalk. The turn signals didn't come on. After I pulled back into my lane, I lifted the accelerator a little -- and the van didn't slow down! The skinny stalk on top is the cruise control, and I set it without even knowing how.
Re: Progress report -- Sprinter Class B RV
Well, I've had the Leisure Travel almost a month. Wow, time really flies.
It took me 3 days to clean out the old Pace Arrow, and there's still some "stuff" in it. It was a "basement" model with lots of storage, and it's almost unbelievable how much stuff I had accumulated. The challenge was to decide what was important and how to fit the important stuff into the smaller space.
I think it would be hard for a newcomer to RV travel to decide what to take and what to leave behind. We've had one RV or another for about 15 years, and we know what we've used the most and consider the most essential. The neat thing was that I was able to find so much space in this, a much smaller RV, to take many of the things I like to have around. I have a complete satellite TV setup, including the dish and a portable tripod. I have a small-scale, but powerful, canister-model vacuum. I have a decent assortment of tools, 4 of the fold-up canvas chairs that fit in shoulder bags, a fancy folding patio carpet, and a couple of small folding tables, and a Weber Go-Anywhere gas grill.
The flat-panel TV is equipped with Satellite receiver, DVD player, VCR, crank-up antenna, and an outside mount so it can be placed under the awning when camping. All of it runs on either 12V or inverters so I don't need shore power or generator to watch TV.
The bed is really comfortable, and when in sofa mode, is a super comfortable, leather-look vinyl couch.
I've been staying in it during the week out in Okeechobee. My living space is less than 6' wide and about 15' long. I have sofa, bed, dinette, desk, refrigerator, microwave, stove, sink, coffee maker, toaster over, coffee grinder, electric skillet, Belgian waffle maker, air conditioner, generator, wardrobe closet, toilet, lavatory, shower and much more. It's really comfortable, and not at all confining. My tractor is right outside my door, and I'm hooked to the electricity and water at my daughter's place. The RV is back beside their garage, out of sight of the highway, and almost invisible to them. They often don't know whether I'm here, or not.
All in all, I'm very happy with it.
Re: Progress report -- Sprinter Class B RV
Don.........your sprinter sounds like where I'd be living now if I hadn't gotten remarried 15 years ago. It would be parked in the country next to a 40 x 80 building full of tools & cars etc, with an extension cord running from the garage to the RV for powering up the tv, fridge, & microwave.(Simple & cozy) Unfortunately, factor a wife into the plan & you need a mortgage & a 1/4 million $$ house to be "comfortable" and the building turns into a 2 car attached garage sheltering a minivan..........(I'm not complaining, just a bit envious)........between all my kids activities & our own obligations, sometimes I long for a few days of the simple life.......Enjoy your new toy..............
Nothing works unless you do !
Re: Progress report -- Sprinter Class B RV
We took our first trip this past weekend. Betsy and I left Saturday morning and drove to Mount Dora, about 25 miles north of Orlando and about 2-1/2 hours from home. Mount Dora is a neat, small, boutique shopping town with dozens of fascinating shops, great antique stores, and enough festivals and events to have something happening almost every weekend. Christmas is a special time; the central square is lit with over 2 million lights, and all of the stores are decorate.
I had discovered a tiny County park, Trimble Park, just about 3 miles out of town and located on a nice lake. The park has just 15 RV camping spots, all nicely wooded, with pavers, metal picnic table, charcoal grill, firepit, water and electricity at each campsite. About half are lake-front. Trimble Park does not take phone reservations; they will reserve up to 8 of their sites if you come in to the office withing 45 days. The other 7 sites are first-come, first-served. We went there with nothing more than hopes, and got lucky -- someone had just left one of the lakefront sites, and we were the first ones since it was available.
We signed in, located the spot and marked it as occupied, then drove into town. Because the Sprinter is both our RV and my daily driver, it serves as not only our home-away-from home, but as our local transportation once we get there. This involves unhooking to drive around, and hooking back up when we get back to the campsite. This is somewhat more inconvenient than towing a car, but because the Sprinter is small enough to fit in normal parking spots, is totally practical.
We parked on a side street and walked to the main street in time to watch Mount Dora's Christmas parade. We have pictures on Betsy's camera, which I don't have with me, but suffice to say that at the end of the parade, Santa's sleigh was pulled by a golf cart. Then, we moved the Sprinter to a public parking area in the center of the shopping district and hit the stores.
Since my heart failure crap, I can't walk very far, so I spent a lot of time sitting on benches outside many of the shops. I did go through the antique shops, which is a particular love of both Betsy and I. We ate dinner fairly early in order to be first down at the town docks on Lake Dora, where the lighted Christmas boat parade was due to go past at 7 PM. We got a bench right at the front of the dock. There were about 15 decorated boats, some of them pretty clever.
We got back to Trimble Park about 9 PM and hooked up. I set up the awning, patio carpet, a couple of the chairs, hooked up the water and electricity, and generally did a full hookup except the satellite antenna. We were under so many trees, I wasn't sure I could get a signal. That's why I use a tripod and long cable rather than a rooftop antenna. the next day, in the daylight, I saw that we could have set the dish up on the lake shore and gotten a good signal, but I didn't bother to get it out just for the day.
Total time for the setup was about 10 minutes. If we decide to drive away from the campsite, it would take much less time, because we would leave the patio carpet, chairs and such set up for our return. I'm still practicing on the satellite. I have to store the dish in two pieces plus the tripod, and I have to take the legs off the tripod to store it. I've only set it up a couple of times, and so far, it's taking me about 25 minutes to put it all together, screw the ground tackle into the ground and hook the tripod to it, level it, hookup the cables, find the satellite and fine-tune it for the best picture. I think I can get it down to about 12 minutes. I have the cables set up in the RV and a short cable on the dish, and have the long cable with connectors ready to go in the RV. I use a satellite-finder meter to find the satellite without having to see or hear the TV.
We made up the bed about 10:30 PM and continued watching the football game. We turned it off and went lights-out about 11 PM, and didn't wake up until 10 AM the next morning. I guess the bed was comfortable! Because I need more rest, I sleep that late about once a week, but it was the first time Betsy slept past 8 AM (usually about 6:30 AM) in years. It was really nice to get away from the care of her 101-year-old Mother for the weekend (we hired a caregiver to stay with Grandma).
We explored and loafed around Trimble Park until about 2 PM, when we packed up and headed home. We used the Turnpike on the way up, but were in no hurry going home, so we took Rt 441 all the way through Orlando and then through the country. We filled up with diesel in Orlando at $2.45 per gallon as mentioned in another thread, and figured that our combination of highway and city driving got us 21 mpg. Not bad for an RV, and I can see how pure highway driving will easily be around 24 mpg.
We stopped at a couple of fruit stands, and one of our favorite hangouts, a Goodwill store, where I found a bottle to add to my collection. Then, on towards home. It was a great first trip, and we can't wait until the next time.
Re: Progress report -- Sprinter Class B RV
Tom, we're hiring the caregiver again this weekend, and Betsy is coming out to spend it right here at our daughter's house. Amy (our daughter) is the band director at Okeechobee HS, and tomorrow (Thursday) night is her Winter concert. Friday is a class at the local county extension agent on how to convert a 55 gallon drum into a rain barrel. The actual conversion (and opening for the drain spout, a spigot for a hose, and some painting) is pretty straight forward for someone like me, but Betsy wants to learn how to do some of these things, and the fee for the class includes all the stuff to make a rain barrel. Friday night, we'll be going to a student-produced musical at the local community college; I think it's Camelot.
Then, on Saturday evening, Amy's band marches in the Okeechobee lighted Christmas parade. Sunday is our first grandson's 1 year birthday party.
We'll be staying in the Sprinter all weekend.
I think I have the Pace Arrow sold. It's a ragged and worn 1988 model; we've gotten 10 good years out of it. The engine and running gear are still excellent, the brakes are nearly new with new rotors and calipers, and the tires have very few miles. But, the fiberglass is delaminating on the body, the awning has a tear, the passenger mirror (which looks expensive) was broken in last year's hurricane. The hydraulic levelers are broken, and the floor under the holding tanks has rotted out. Some of the hinges on the basement storage doors have pulled loose. Worst of all, while we were running the generator for 2 solid weeks last year after the hurricanes, something shorted out on the converter/charger power center (which converts 110V to 12V among other things), and most of the 12V wiring on the coach burned up. I had enough of it replaced to get it running, and power most of the appliances, but it still needs work. However, the generator, air conditioning, water system, refrigerator, water heater, stove, etc. all work great, and the bed is super comfortable.
In other words, this is a mixed bag -- too good to throw away, but needing a LOT of work to make it worth taking out, again. The hardest problem to fix is the blistering of the fiberglass body panels. They might be able to be glued, but there is a luan wood under-panel that might be hopelessly rotted.
The fellow who wants to buy it is a carpenter working on my son-in-law's new addition. He's down on his luck a little, and needs a place to live. He can park it at his sister's rural home where no one will complain about him living in it, and hook the holding tanks up to her septic tank. It will be a little tough to keep a propane supply without driving it, but he can rig portable cylinders to it.
I'm getting $3 grand for it, and considering myself lucky. At 17 years old, it would be worth $8K to $9K if excellent.
Re: Progress report -- Sprinter Class B RV
Things are looking good Don. Reading your log here I find we have a few shopping stops in common--Goodwill stores and antique shops. Sometimes it's hard to make it through a newly discovered town with lots of antique shops.
The only way you can beat cubic inches is with cubic money.
Re: Progress report -- Sprinter Class B RV
It's now been over 14 months since we got the Sprinter, and things are better than I expected. I let my ego get the better of me, and ordered the Mercedes Benz grill, hubcaps and other trim as originally equipped in Germany and as shipped in the rest of the world.
We've taken several trips, mostly on weekends, but one trip was to Johnson City, TN and another was to Hiawassee, GA. Both were for quilting seminars for Betsy; we joined friends and stayed about 2 weeks in each case. The picture below was taken at our lakeside camp spot in Hiawassee.
The Sprinter has performed well, getting over 23 mpg several times, as long as I hold the speed down to about 60 mph. 65 = 21 mpg, 70 = 19 mpg, and I have a report of one Sprinter owner who drove flat out across Texas -- 4 hours at 82 mph -- and got 14.8 mpg. ..
I installed a rear screen which allows us to open the rear doors during the day. This was really nice up in Georgia where it was cool enough to enjoy the breeze without needing the AC.
The only problem I've had was a freak accident. It has a box-style cantilevered awning that cranks out. It came with the Carefree brand. In Georgia, we went to bed on a clear night, and there was a sudden downpour of rain. Even though I had pitched the awning with one corner lower so rain would run off, the deluge filled the fabric so fast that it pocketed before it could run off. The weight of the water overwhelmed the awning supports, bent them in half, pulled the ends of the awning away from the coach like a bananna, ripped off one of the articulating arms and poked a hole in the fabric. We managed to get it packed up well enough to travel. When we returned home, the dealer and my insurance adjuster got together, the result was a $2,000 bill and a check from the insurance for $1,500, less my deductible. The new awning was just under $1,000, but it had to be painted and striped and installed, and when they took off the old one, they discovered it had been installed with 3M 5200 adhesive caulk, which peeled away some paint on the side of the roof. The spots had to be sanded and repainted as well.
It's still my daily driver, and has been a joy to drive. I also take it to our Okeechobee property most weeks and spend at least 3 nights a week in it while I'm working on the property.
This has been one plan that came together really well.
Re: Progress report -- Sprinter Class B RV
Bump :bump:
I know this is an old old thread. I have exchanged emails with OkeeDon this year and hope that he will stop in and give us an update on the Sprinter he bought 8 years ago.
Do you still have the Sprinter and has it worked out like you expected? I would like to travel and think I would prefer a small unit like this rather than a class A or C motorhome. So I'm hoping for your input.
Scott me up Beamy.

Re: Progress report -- Sprinter Class B RV
I hope Don comes back and gives us an update. At the time he was buying his I was seriously thinking about getting a Road Trek as our traveling van. My wife found it a little confining especially if the weather was bad and you were stuck inside. We have friends in town who just picked a used one and absolutely love it. He fills the water tank before they leave and if they find somewhere pretty, they just park for a day or two. It's now his daily driver as well.
Don's original analysis was right though, it's a heck of a lot of money for what it is and even more so now than it was way back in 2005.
I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. John Wayne as JB Books in "The Shootist".
Re: Progress report -- Sprinter Class B RV
I have a farm partner with a road trek who just aquired it with 60K miles. they abosolutly love it. He was here for the last cold snap into the single digits and slept and stayed in it for a couple of days. Neat rig, I had not been aware of them till he got his. His wife likes it in the summer time, but not for winter....

Knowing your purpose, what it is you are here to do, to create, is vitally important to experiencing peace and happiness. You may also live longer. For organizations, having a clear purpose, a distinct mission is essential to success.
My most heartfelt message is the importance of this discovery, the learning and the living into your unique purpose.
Where there is purpose there is clarity of intention.
When we have clarity of intention, our actions align with our thought.
When our actions are in alignment with our intentions we experience personal effectiveness and empowerment i.e., peace and happiness.
Living our purpose can require at times a little rigor - calling ourselves into our own integrity and keeping our word to ourselves. And it is the path of meaning. It is also the path of JOY!
Currently, I am loving this entry about "how to" find your purpose.

The Story
The STORY is what fuels structure. Structure influences all scenes in a script. So we begin with the thought of you as a Story-Teller.
Here's a Thought-Experiment...
...think of a story you'd like to explore; something
done because you're interested in it. It should be the kind of yarn that you'd like
to hear on Radio, see on Stage, or stay home & watch on Video.
Begin with the notion of a story you'd really like to write. Tell us a bit about that story - but not too much. Don't simply try and match things you see in contemporary movies, or plays, or hear in podcasts of Sonic Theatre.
No need to duplicate what's currently popular; that's writing for a parade which has already turned the corner. Write something you'd like to write.
Think about the characters in your story - as much as the story itself. You won't need a detailed biography - just the bare bones about them; where they're from perhaps; a characteristic or two.
Everyone takes a different amount of space to describe their story. For most proposals, a few paragraphs will capture the essence of what you want to do. Other writers need a page. Either approach works, just set down what you need to tell.
If you haven't a story in mind, and you find it's late at night, and the coffee has gone cold, and your eyes are closing - and the story is still elusive...try an old Native-American approach. Just before you go to sleep, drink half of a small glass of water & think about your story...imagine yourself with a story; that, somehow, a dream holds an answer.
Soon as you wake up, drink the other part of the water & recall your dream...
Look at the Pictures I've included on this page. Imagine what stories are hidden in each picture. Perhaps the pictures, in this order, tell a story. How would you combine them all in one story. Just start the process...you already know how to daydream. That's all you need do...In our magical world of writing, you're rewarded for daydreaming.
There's a
lot of software sold on the premise that we need to construct a world around
our characters before we start writing them. We draw kinship charts, make up
schools for them, have their Horoscope sign in place... but, all that is not needed.
No need to recall our full dream before we tell others about it.
In this approach to writing, we start with something you would like to write. You may have already tried out this story in another form, or you always meant to write about such & such but just never got around to it.
Your story could be totally made up, or it might be based on something a favorite wild Aunt did one unforgettable Halloween... there's NO need to avoid your own life when you're writing drama. You'll show up in the story anyway, might as well leap in.
And listening ahead to Radio Drama:...
...also think of the sounds of your story. Any song you associate with the world of your story?
Start listening to everything around you, not just the focused sound. Listen to a room when you enter it.
If you're on VIU's Nanaimo campus, try out different buildings...go to Milner Gardens; or hop over to Salt Spring & walk along the beach near the sadly missing Fulford Inn; go to Norris Point in Newfoundland & hear the wind sailing over Gros Morne & then skidding towards you. If you're in Taipei, imagine yourself on a scooter, and then remember what you hear all around you.
We are collectors & wide-eyed observers of the
world. We love sounds, and sights and smells and tastes, we love running, and
we love being still. Different sounds connect with everything we do. We feel. We
remember hurts & joys. Sometimes what we want to say emerges in a form we
hadn't planned :) That's fine as well.
We write to surprise ourselves with ourselves.

untitled (1:03:01 > 1:12:21)
The crow. The owl. The lamp. The safe.
Arbogast enters the parlor.
The crow.
The owl.
The safe.
You make a mental picturization of something & then. . .
It's Bates' neck that is the object in itself, a parcel of digestive tract,
the pump &amo; flue of how each swallow connects with breath
and gives away what we think, the neck just a hook to hang
truth's fish-hooks on, balm-shaved, each nostril shorn of dust or follicle,
reading his own register for what it shows of himself to himself,
eyes wet in the hang-dog irony of knowing the worse he acts
the closer he gets. . . the neck flickers its trip-switch of conscious
salivation, arches across the register Wrigleys-cool, swallows
back the dust in specks of white—traceless as the word cash—relaxes
at the fluke-joke She's still not here is she? That's the part he's sure
about, that lubricates the lies because the language fits, his neck
a windpipe for vowels, a suction-pump for candies.
There are benefits to a place like this: a motelier who wants to know
why you've come this way, keeps clean sheets, lets you use the phone
at no extra cost, counts the drops you shake off as rain, dexterous
with attention to every detail, a motelier so in control & clean that you
feel strange—a story required to say where you've been—
and it drops its cache in sense just why the sign BATES MOTEL [NO]
VACANCY has cancelled its plural because there's only one of you
to check-in, one night like this, one breakfast to go, one cabin, one bed.
One last chance to still be back in an hour, maybe less.
In the parlor the crow is whispering to the owl
whispering the one thing visitors should never know,
that Bates has a vulva inside him, the same one
he was born from, a vulva inside him made of the same
cells he pisses with, a vulva of dry woodwind that sends
him to sleep each night on a rockaby of calm beginnings,
a vulva inside him that is learning to talk, talk freely
through the sacristy of a long open skirt, a vulva
that can't be fooled—especially not by a woman—
a vulva, then, that wants a man? Could Arbogast
be the one with his strong white teeth, Latino grace,
and if Arboghast knew that Bates has a vulva inside him
would he want to know, if only to help with the case?
The lamp's too bright.
The safe tight shut.
The crow & the owl show Arbogast the silence.

Smoke Scarf
The JUMA's like to photograph their surroundings whether it is a beautiful landscape, a sunset, an interesting person they may see walking by them on the street, architecture or inspiring city happenings. This specific Smoke print was inspired by a photo they took of a hazy evening view in Mumbai. The clouds were rolling in and it was about to thunder shower, the busy streets were emptying out as people were running for shelter. It was the perfect photo opp. To create this Smoke print they layered African tribal inspired borders onto the smoky photograph.

Do all journeys need a map? Even the stars serve as guide, right…
That is what my thought was when did this painting:
Standing in front of the river, the other side seems so far away.
These are turning into monthly updates, LOL. It can't be helped.
For the past month, I've been trying to get some extra funds through crowdfunding. I selected GoFundMe because it seemed like the easiest to use and rather flexible. I've sending the link to my Twitter feed and Tumbler blog, but I haven't gotten any donations yet. I suspected it would be difficult. I even tried to make it more appealing by offering custom artwork for certain donation levels. Still nothing. Now, the thing with GoFundMe is that you can't even show up in the searches until you have at least $100 dollars donated through the site (you have the option to add donations that were not given online). And then you have to meet the approval of the administrators of the site.
I knew it would be difficult to raise money for myself because I had hard time raising money for a 5K run/walk for Cancer and I was asking my friends. Not a one could bother to donate even a dollar. So, even though my GoFundMe is connected to my Facebook page but I don't share that page…..
Now, why would I need extra funding. Because in this economy, we could all use a little help. Being a fulltime artist is hardwork, it is stressful. You do what you can to supplement your income, but when you "supplement" job starts to take over your life, then your work starts to suffer. No one likes that. On top of that, I have one parent battling cancer and another with mobility issues (in addition to my own health problems), so my presence at home is almost always needed…especially in the afternoons and weekends. So, yeah, this life is hard and difficult..and I never imagined that it would be like this but it is what it is. My expensive art school/training gave me lots of knowledge, skills, and tools (and debt)…that most people in a capitalist society have no need for. HA!
But I find peace in my work and in my faith.
This is one of my most recent digital paintings.
Sweet Journey, 2013
by K. Brown
Digital Painting
Hello All,
I hope you are well.
I have been thinking about my life choices these days. I try to avoid the voices of doubt around me, but they have been louder than usual. In these economy, in this society, it is so hard to make a living as an artists. To live the art, to be the art, to breathe the art. I sometimes wonder if it is worth it.
There is so much ugliness, so much pain in the world…I just want to create things that remind people of the beauty in the world. I want to create a space where people can escape the pain (if only for a little while. It is hard to even be seen as artists as no one really thinks of being a creative professional a profession. Boo to that.
Until next time,
This is a watercolor concept sketch I did a while back. It depicts a windspirit. I thought that would be fitting on such a marvelously cool day in July.
I've come to realize you really need to be careful who you let in. I mean, who you let see the true you. Some folks will stop at nothing to take advantage of you once they think they have gained your trust. This is especially true for those who work in the arts. A lot of the work we do is very personal and comes from a personal place. To have some one tear that work apart can be traumatic. I'm not even talking about constructive criticism, I'm talking about someone just saying or doing things that totally disrespects the work you are doing.
For all of us, the way we express ourselves is different. How we work, why we work, who we work with shapes our art and shapes us. I suppose, what I'm trying to say is be careful and be kind. Be careful who you open yourself to and be kind to yourself and your work.
The Ship Arrives by K.Brown
Since things have been rough for me lately, I decided to start a gofundme page. It is mainly to help with me being a fulltime artist while continuing to care for my ailing parents. I have different donation levels where donors will receive an original signed painting from me. I post examples of my work in hopes to generate to buzz and money. It will be uphill battle, but I've never let the stop me before. I am on the right path.
Here is my latest digital painting, Spirit Bomb:

Gold Raider Slot Game Review
These days, the adventure movies such as Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones are extremely popular so it is not surprising that they are inspiring casino games. The Gold Raider slots game from Sheriff Gaming is a good example of this. It is a 3D slot with 5 reels and 20 pay lines.
The Gold Raider has some entertaining graphics and sounds that will make you feel as if you are watching one of the cool adventure cartoons.
The slot reels are decorated with rainforest waterfalls with hidden ancient treasures, stone walls and military personnel in little tanks.
Gold Raider Slots Features
There are many special features in this action packed slot to make you richer. These include scatters, expanding wilds, extra cash bonus, click me bonuses, the wheel of fortune and free spins, all paying generously to help boost your earnings.
The expanding wild will show up on the middle reel and expand once it replaces other symbols to help create a win.
The Gold Raider will award the extra cash bonus if three purse icons land on reels 4, 3 and 2.
When three of the maps show up at the same time on reels 5, 3 and 1, the Click Me bonus will start. This will allow you to choose symbols and collect cash prizes.
Both the free spins and the wheel of fortune features are distinguished with many graphics. The wheel of fortune will start once the spin symbol lands in the middle of the fifth reel. You can win a great deal of cash in this feature and end up increasing your deposits multiple times after.
If five, four or three of the skulls land anywhere on the reels, you will earn 25, 15 or 8 free spins respectively. These free spins have their own symbolics to make the game feel like a new slot. Besides that, this wonderful addition to this slot game will bring good fortune as generous prizes can be earned and free spins can be retriggered.
The Gold Raider slots game is one of the top titles right now with its full offerings of engaging features, state-of-the-art graphics, memorable spins and likeable characters and theme.

Teenagers from five schools in northern England have just arrived home after a pilgrimage with the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, to Taize in France. The Taizé Community is an ecumenical monastic order of more than one hundred brothers, from Catholic and Protestant traditions. Founded in 1940 by Roger Louis Schutz-Marsauche (known as 'Brother Roger'), the Taizé Community every year attracts over 100,000 young people from around the world.
Archbishop Sentamu said; "Taizé is an extraordinary place, a place of trust, joy, simplicity and compassion.To be able to join with young people from more than 100 countries in sharing food together, worship and learning is a wonderful experience, and each time I have returned from Taize I have returned blessed, inspired and encouraged by others".
One of the headteachers, Simon Barber, Principal at Manor CE Academy, reflected on the experience they all shared:
I have just completed my second visit to Taize and once again I have been in awe of the impact this place has on the young people who pilgrimage here. This year was different to my first visit, in fact Brother Paolo warned us of the difficulty that some have here on their second visit when they expect a repeat of their first. This year we camped and that was brilliant! Having a camp just for our school and organising the tents in a circle to create our own space was really good and enabled us to have regular meetings together and have a place to relax and hang out.
There were a lot more people in Taize this week too, around 3,500 young people and a further 1000 adults. This meant the church was almost completely full for every service which was amazing during the periods of silence and song. Having so many people worship together is such a Taize experience! So are the queues for the food, but they move amazingly quickly.
But the transformational impact Taize has on young people is the same. They come often with reservation and worry but very quickly fit in with the rhythm of life here. A rhythm that includes worship, silence and reflection but also includes meeting, laughing and living life to the full with young people the same age from countries all over the world. Many of our students are already declaring this pilgrimage the favourite thing they have ever done at school. High praise!
This is what Hannah wrote in her journal: "Taize has made me realise who I am and what my faith is...Talking about my faith for me is hard but Taize has made me see that my faith really matters...Everybody I have spoken to has so much positive energy to share about God"
That's Taize in a nutshell I think. A special unique place where life is different and quite wonderful.
From the young pilgrims:
Throughout the diary entries, the students have reflected on many different aspects of Taizé. They have explored their challenges, their emotional journeys and how Taizé has changed their thinking. As they prepared to leave Taizé they began to reflect on what they would take away:
Maybe the silences? For many of us, Taizé's use of silence has been thought-provoking. As you approach the church each day, from many metres away the Iconic 'SILENCE' signs are visible at each door. At first these signs may seem commanding, like an instruction like a 'no entry' road sign – "you must be silent". However this is not Taizé's or God's heart. The signs are more like a 'welcome to…' location sign – "Welcome to silence, population: everyone'. Silence however is just one word we would use to describe Taizé. Here are some others:
You have such a profound and unique experience during your stay at Taizé that you feel you may leave a little of your heart here. However, as we reflect on all our experiences and memories of our trip, a better way perhaps to think is actually we have all found a new part of heart. A new part that we can choose to take home and outwork in our lives outside of this beautiful, transformational community.
Dan Finn, Director of the Archbishop of York's Youth Trust:
Clicking: we do it throughout our lives as we use a computer mouse, get to know a prospective partner or close a door securely. Clicking with God can be far harder to achieve, even for those who think of themselves as religious. How privileged I felt therefore, to be escorting over 90 young pilgrims to Taizé for a week of encounters or clicks with Him; a week of opening doors, hearts and minds.
Singing with over 3,000 other people in the magnificent Church of Reconciliation transported us to another level; yet silence punctuated and enhanced this spiritual encounter. In the early stages this silence seemed uncomfortable but for many of our young pilgrims silent moments enabled their Taizé experience to click: friendships forged, hope renewed and the love of the Holy Spirit restored in them.

Dennis Ricker 2010 Camaro
A new 2010 Camaro was a little to bland for Dennis, so we spiced it up a bit at our Minnesota hot rod shop.
Dennis took delivery of his 2010 Camaro and decided it was a little to plain for his taste, so he Took it to HRF for some custom stripes. The entire car was dismantled including bumpers, glass, trim, lights, etc. We then wet-sanded the entire car with 600-grit sand paper to remove the offending orange peel. The car was then masked off and the tricoat candy stripes were painted on. Once dry, we cleared the entire car then wet-sanded it to a mirror-like finish. Dennis now has all the other Camaro owners wondering why his car is so much nicer than theirs.

Herbert Bayard Swope Sr. (January 5, 1882 - June 20, 1958) was a U.S. editor, journalist and intimate of the Algonquin Round Table. Swope spent most of his career at the New York World newspaper. He was the first and three time recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Reporting. Swope was called the greatest reporter of his time by Lord Northcliffe of the London Daily Mail.[1]
Herbert Bayard (pronounced "by-ard")[1] Swope was born 5 January 1882 in St. Louis, Missouri to German immigrants Ida Cohn and Isaac Swope,[1] a watchcase maker. He was the youngest of four children – the younger brother of businessman and General Electric president Gerard Swope. As a child, Swope was a loner.[1]
Swope was the first recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Reporting in 1917 for a series of articles that year entitled "Inside the German Empire"[2] The articles formed the basis for a book released in 1917 entitled Inside the German Empire: In the Third Year of the War, which he wrote with James W. Gerard.[3]
He is known for saying, "I can't give you a sure-fire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: try to please everybody all the time." He is also credited with coining the phrase "Cold War".[4]
He was the first newspaperman to employ the "op-ed" concept of opinion pieces printed opposite the editorial page.
Although standard editorial pages have been printed by newspapers for many centuries, Swope established the first modern op-ed page in 1921. When he took over as editor in 1920, he realized that the page opposite the editorials, was "a catchall for book reviews, society boilerplate, and obituaries."[5] He wrote:
"It occurred to me that nothing is more interesting than opinion when opinion is interesting, so I devised a method of cleaning off the page opposite the editorial, which became the most important in America... and thereon I decided to print opinions, ignoring facts."[6]
Swope served as the editor for New York World 's 21-day crusade against the Ku Klux Klan in October 1921, which won the newspaper the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 1922.[7] As an example of investigative journalism, it was ranked 81st of the top 100 journalism stories of the 20th century by New York University's journalism department.[8]
He was a legendary poker player, at one point winning over $470,000 in a game with an oil baron, a steel magnate, and an entertainer.[9] Swope was also a member of a social club, the precursor to the Algonquin Round Table known as the Thanatopsis Inside Straight and Pleasure Club. He was inducted into the
Croquet Hall of Fame of the United States Croquet Association in 1979 and his son Herbert Bayard Swope, Jr. in 1981.
Swope died in 1958 at his home, known as Land's End, on Hoffstot Lane at Prospect Point, Sands Point, New York. Swope had hosted parties with the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier, Dorothy Parker, Harpo Marx, Winston Churchill, Averell Harriman, Albert Einstein, Alexander Woollcott[10] – as well as F. Scott Fitzgerald.[11] These associations, along with other similarities to the houses and events in The Great Gatsby, helped give rise to unsubstantiated reports that Fitzgerald had[10][11] modeled Daisy Buchanan's home in the 1925 novel after Swope's home. However Swope did not buy Land's End until late 1928. The more likely explanation that ties Swope to Fitzgerald is the time period of 1922-24, when Fitzgerald was living in Great Neck, L.I. Prior to buying the Sands Point mansion, Swope had been renting a home since 1919 on East Shore Road in Great Neck, overlooking Manhasset Bay. This home was directly north of 325 East Shore Road, the residence of sportswriter Ring Lardner. Lardner and Fitzgerald were good friends, and spent many an evening sitting out watching the continuous party that was Swope's home during these years. This was the period of time that Fitzgerald was developing his Gatsby concept. David O. Selznick and Jock Whitney met at the home many times throughout the 20's and 30s and held meetings at the mansion that secured funding for Gone with the Wind.
Other reports suggest the home, built in 1902,[11] had been designed by Stanford White[12] – though most sources dispute the claim.[12]
The clapboard colonial mansion included 15 bedrooms and 14 baths (eleven full baths), a seven-car garage, a tennis court with a tennis pavilion, a rose garden and a guest house – on 13.35 acres.[11] The 20,000-square-foot (1,900 m2) waterfront mansion had originally been built for clothing merchant John S. Browning Sr. in 1911 and originally named Kidd's Rocks. It was purchased in 1921 by Malcolm D. Sloane, whose wife renamed the estate Keewaydin.
The house had been a site for a Vanity Fair photo shoot with Madonna and had been a location for the 1978 shooting of The Greek Tycoon, a film on the life of Aristotle Onassis.[12] Keith Richards family lived there for a time in the early 1980s. Charles Shipman Payson and his wife Virginia Kraft purchased the house in the 1980s. In 2005 she sold the house to developer Bert Brodsky of Port Washington for $17.5 million. "They misrepresented themselves," Payson told The Observer "I would not show it to any developer. He said that his life's ambition was to live in that manor, but it was very clear at the closing that they had no intention of living in it. They are the most awful people I have ever heard of, and that includes terrorists and dictators. They have taken a work of art and permitted it to be totally decimated. It was in pristine condition when I left," Payson said. "He let it fall apart. He stripped everything out that he could sell, which is sacrilegious. I went by the house perhaps two years after we sold it, and that's when I realized how he was going to get around the town's objections. Broken windows, storming in—it's sinful." In 2011, the home was razed after and the property is to be subdivided.[11]

An early heatwave across parts of Queensland has brought concerns that workers across the state need to prepare for a long hot summer. Media reports on the recent death of a Belgian backpacker working on a watermelon farm in North Queensland suggest the incident could be linked to heat stress, although Workplace Health and Safety Queensland's (WHSQ) investigation is ongoing.
In the last five years, there have been over 200 reported incidents of heat stress, 22 of which resulted in serious injury or death. The risk from heat stress comes from a combination of factors, not just temperature. These may include working in the sun, humidity, reflected heat, strenuous work and low air movement. Heat from machinery, inappropriate clothing and general worker health, as well as alcohol and caffeine consumption, can also have adverse impacts.
WHSQ has an online tool to assist in identifying and assessing the risk of heat stress, with control measures needing to be implemented when the risk of a heat related illness is assessed as high. Use the Heat Stress (Basic) Calculator to help identify and assess the risk factors. The risk rating result can be used to determine strategies to control the risk of heat-related illness.
Be aware of heat-related illness and how to prevent it
All workers need to be made aware of heat-related illness and understand tactics to prevent it such as:
- working at a comfortable pace and take regular rest breaks
- being aware of your how your body feels and responds to working in hot conditions. If you feel unwell, remember to stop work and move into cooler conditions immediately
- drinking frequently—water is the best choice to rehydrate
- planning ahead and accounting for hot conditions.
What to do in an emergency
Make sure that you have emergency plans that outline what to do when a worker may be suffering from a heat-related illness. Remove workers who may feel weak or faint from the heat, whether outdoors in the sun or inside in hot conditions. Generally, with rest, being in a cool environment and drinking water, recovery is rapid, however, the worker should not return immediately to the hot situation. In more serious cases, you may need to assist the affected person by:
- physically removing the worker from the heat and lying them down in the shade
- cooling by sponging the skin with water and fanning
- encouraging to drink cooled but not cold water
- raising the legs if the victim is dizzy.
If recovery is not evident, medical aid should be sought quickly. During this time, cooling must be maintained as a continued high body temperature may result in heatstroke, which can be fatal.

The Letoon trilingual, or Xanthos trilingual, is an inscription in three languages: standard Lycian or Lycian A, Greek and Aramaic covering the faces of a four-sided stone stele called the Letoon Trilingual Stele, discovered in 1973 during the archeological exploration of the Letoon temple complex, near Xanthos, ancient Lycia, in present-day Turkey. The inscription is a public record of a decree authorizing the establishment of a cult, with references to the deities, and provisions for officers in the new cult. The Lycian requires 41 lines; the Greek, 35 and the Aramaic, 27. They are not word-for-word translations, but each contains some information not present in the others. The Aramaic is somewhat condensed.[1]
Although the use of the term "Letoon" with regard to the inscription and the stele is unequivocal, there is no standard name for either. Xanthos trilingual is sometimes used, which is to be distinguished from the Xanthos bilingual, meaning the Xanthos stele. However, sometimes Xanthos stele is used of the Letoon trilingual stele as well as for the tomb at Xanthos. Moreover, the term Xanthos trilingual (Lycian A, Lycian B, Greek) is sometimes used of the tomb at Xanthos. In the latter two cases only the context can provide clues as to which stele is meant.
The Lētōon was a temple complex about 4 kilometers (2 mi) south of Xanthus, capital of ancient Lycia. The complex dates to as early as the 7th century BC and must have been a center for the Lycian League. In it were three temples to Lētō, Artemis and Apollō. The stele was found near the temple of Apollo. It has been removed to the museum at Fethiye. The entire site is currently under several inches of water.
The first five lines of the Aramaic version mention that the inscription was made in the first year of the reign of the Persian king, Artaxerxes, but does not say which Artaxerxes:
In the month Siwan, year 1 of King Artaxerxes. In the fortress of Arñna (Xanthos). Pixodarus, son of Katomno (Hecatomnus), the satrap who is in Karka (Caria) and Termmila (Lycia)....[1]
If the king in question was Artaxerxes III Ochus, the date of the inscription would be the first year of his reign, hence 358 BC.[1] But Hecatomnus is thought to have ruled from ca. 395 to 377 BC and Pixodarus, son of Hecatomnus, was satrap of Caria and Lycia no earlier than 341/340. Therefore the Persian king most likely was Artaxerxes IV Arses, son of Artaxerxes III, who took his father's name on coming to power. In that case the trilingual is dated to the first year of Artaxerxes IV, that is 337/336 BC.[2]
Below is a transliteration of a sample of lines and an interlineal English translation:[3]
|Ẽke: trm̃misñ: xssaθrapazate: pigesere: katamlah: tideimi:
|When Pixodarus, the son of Hecatomnus, became satrap of Lycia,

Do you need to find a new dentist? Maybe you've moved, switched jobs or just want to make a change. There are many dental office choices, so it can take time to find one that fits your needs. So don't wait until you have oral pain to pick a dentist. Here are five tips to help you choose the right dentist.
1. Location – Most people prefer to see a dentist who is close to their home or work. They find it easier to schedule appointments before going to work, during lunch, or later in the day when they're headed home. On your digital device search for dentists in your preferred area. Make a list of your top choices.
2. Reviews – Check online reviews for the dentists on your list. Also, read the comments posted by patients. Ask your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers or doctor for feedback about the dentists.
3. Website – Most dentists have a website with information about their office, along with pictures, hours, policies, philosophy and background information. Look for answers to these questions:
- Is the location easy to access?
- Will the office hours fit your schedule?
- Do you like the dentist's philosophy about dental care, including the use of medications to help you relax during treatment?
- What is the office policy on missed appointments?
- What are the fees for services? When is payment due?
- If you have dental insurance, does the dentist accept your plan?
If you can't find answers to these questions online, call the office and talk with the office manager.
4. Visit – Identify your top choices and stop by their offices. Is the office clean and organized? Do the dental professionals wear gloves, masks and other protective apparel? Are the dentist and team members friendly and helpful? Look around to ensure you'll feel comfortable.
5. Appointment – Choose your favorite and schedule an appointment for a dental checkup and cleaning. Ask the dentist for a complete report on your oral health. Be suspicious if the dentist recommends a long list of treatments, such as new fillings, crown replacements or oral surgery. Request a written plan with the costs. If the treatment plan seems unreasonable, consider getting a second opinion from another dentist.


text: Seeking legal justice in Pakistan is not merely a process. It is a long, tedious, and possibly endless journey. Godot may arrive before the verdict. The current alternative, functioning in tandem with courts from time immemorial, is an extra-constitutional jirga (local village council) with misogynistic inclinations. Barbaric though a jirga may be, its decisions are prompt. An eye for an eye ceases to be a metaphor amongst men leading a jirga. And that eye is taken without delay. But in a society where the law is no longer seen as an efficacious arbiter of justice, community created mechanisms for dispute resolutions will also devolve. Each individual will be left to act as an agent against injustice. And chaos will ensue.Recently, on October 27th, news broke of nine men in Dera Ismail Khan stripping a young girl named Sharifa Bibi bare and parading her down the streets. For one hour she was shoved and dragged unable to cover her body even with her bare hands. According to the Human Rights Commission Pakistan during 2016 alone, 31 other women had shared Sharifa Bibi's fate; almost three women a month degraded, demeaned and dehumanised. Across Pakistan this brutality is recognised as a jirga's signature form of punishment for attaining social justice.15 years ago in the village of Meerwala, Mukhtar Mai was gang raped and paraded nude as retribution. By disrobing her for the public eye, at the behest of men the villagers deemed wise, Mai's body was transmuted into a trophy for these men. It became a site where the battle was carried out amongst men and won. Today the female body still remains a site for resolving conflicts by the jirga system. Time has not altered its function for these men. Sitting in a circle, the tribal elders still twirl female fates around their thumbs and debase women inhabiting their areas in the name of justice. Stories which often surface on mainstream media regarding jirgas primarily concern women. However, this is not the entirety of a jirga's role. Jirgas are the primitive counterpart of Pakistan's judiciary, albeit an illegal one. From petty theft to murder, all and any conflict can be brought before a jirga.The jirga system has long governed the day to day lives of those residing within its confines. Individuals readily follow a jirga's decisions and regard it as an integral part of life despite the barbaric nature of the decrees. The existence of a jirga provides them with a sense of security, as it is a quick means of dispensing justice. While cases may be dragged out in courts for decades to come, they know the jirga will always reach a timely decision. The jirga system has long governed the day to day lives of those residing within its confines. Individuals readily follow a jirga's decisions and regard it as an integral part of life despite the barbaric nature of the decreesIf one is to go by the maxim justice delayed is justice denied, then our courts are failing its people and their failure is painting jirgas as a better alternative. Let us put aside cases concerning ordinary individuals for a while. The legal system is such that even trials against prominent persons are dragged till the public galleries empty out. The court took almost ten years to reach a verdict on the Benazir Bhutto murder case.After a decade of hearings, on 31st August 2017, the anti-terrorism court set five Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) suspects free, and announced a seventeen year imprisonment for two police officials. The icing on this verdict was that on the October 6th, a little more than a month after their conviction, the cops were released on bail and went back to work. But even if we stop poking at the past in the name of optimism, the present still doesn't look very promising.The justice carriage is just barely dragging its wheels across the road. It has been over two years since the Panama Papers were published. Till today reporters are chasing the Sharif family in and out of courtrooms. The Panama issue ping-ponged from one chief justice to another, leapt to a joint investigation team and eventually landed in the accountability court. Yet the former Prime Minister and his family's fates remain undecided.During the time our nation was running circles around one name released in the Panama Papers, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists managed to work on a new Paradise Leak, exposing data of over 25,000 companies across 180 countries. Pakistan's former Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz has been named in this new leak. Now how long will it take to bring him before the court of law? Pakistan's courts are overburdened.Fighting cases in courts, citizens are turning old and grey. Thus support for a jirga system is unsurprising. When one constitutional justice system visibly fails individuals, it automatically paints the unconstitutional jirga system as a better means of attaining justice. But even jirgas are losing the respect they once commanded. Consequently, the government's attempt to integrate them into the formal justice system is futile.On February 3rd the Alternative Dispute Resolution 2017 bill, tabled by Minister of Law Zahid Hamid, was passed by the national assembly. If also passed by the senate, it will allow the government to appoint 'neutral arbitrators' to approve a jirga's verdicts, giving the primitive system constitutional cover.According to BBC News, three years ago, Sharifa Bibi's brother was accused of gifting a mobile to one of the villager's daughters, thereby creating conflict between their families. Resolving the dispute, the community jirga ordered the man to pay a fine of 300,000 rupees to the offended family. The payment was made and it was assumed the matter was closed. But this wasn't the case.Although this is just one case of disregarding a jirga's decision, with time more cases will arise unless legal reforms take place. In an environment where an official legal system exists, but is not the first choice for attaining justice, how long can an informal jirga system be revered? Our legal system is a limping juggernaut provoking individuals to act as judge, jury and executioner. The government's attempt to ease the courts' load by dumping the burden of justice onto jirgas is more than a reckless move. It is a move which may prove fatal. The juggernaut must walk, run and fly before it is too late.The writer has a master's in media with a distinction from the London School of Economics.

text: It's more than "teleological tendencies," it's that the absolute core of his concept of the rise of communism was completely off. Which is fine, whatever, but if your argument is that only a 1:1 adaptation of Marx is Real Communism then you're just delving further into "My ideaology only fails when you bring it into the real world" territory. We aren't talking about Marx's entire body of work, we're talking specifically about his ideal of communism and its practicality in the real world. Which is quite ironic given communists could find a better role model in Bakunin who history has proven right in many respects, but instead they hitch their horse to Marx's constrained definition which has been undermined at every turn. Why this is is beyond me!
