On the deer mural that covers one wall,
I tried to recreate the lovely display on the kitchen wall, but it just wasn't the same.
Here's hoping you get to enjoy a light, bright, and colorful weekend.
Striving to be highly reasonable, even in the face of unreasonableness. Reading, knitting, and some alcohol may help.
The sun today is so welcome after the gloomy week! It's almost like Old Man Winter is glad it is Friday too! Have an amazing weekend Bonny!ReplyDelete
How pretty! I have a lot of the Swarovski snow flake ornaments (we get them every Christmas at work) hanging in my kitchen windows. At certain times of the year, the morning sun is perfect for sending prisms of rainbows all over the room. Maestro (the cat we had before Tyg) used to jump up the wall trying to catch them.
It is (chilly but) beautiful out. and tomorrow is supposed to be nice as well. Enjoy the weekend Bonny!
Just goes to show you, beauty is everywhere, but you have to look for it sometimes. The weather here is GORGEOUS! It won't last, as it is going to rain and get colder, but today it is perfect. High 50's, sunshine, blue skies, and now you have shared your rainbows with me. Here's hoping you get a slice of good weather this weekend and have a mindful, peaceful weekend full of gratitude. Happy weekending, Bonny!ReplyDelete
I'm glad to hear about your gorgeous weather! We have plenty of welcome sunshine, but it's still deceptively chilly and only about 35. I'm sure there is still plenty of winter weather ahead, but it is definitely a real treat to see sun (and rainbows) at the end of January. Thank you for the lovely weekend wishes, and I wish the same for you!Delete
The sun brings out the best in everything, but the rainbows in a prism benefit most of all. Happy Weekend, Bonny!ReplyDelete
Awww. Rainbows are always welcomeReplyDelete
It's the "little" things that can bring so much joy to a day.
I love the pot that holds your Christmas cactus.
You are so good at finding little things to enjoy and write about. If Friday counts as part of the weekend, I had a good start. My dear sis drove over so we could go to lunch and explore a new local yarn shop. We had a nice day together.ReplyDelete
A simple but beautiful gift of a rainbow everywhere!ReplyDelete
you are delightful! Isn't it amazing how a simple thing can turn out to be a wonderful blog post?ReplyDelete
Oh, what a lovely & colorful surprise!!ReplyDelete
I love it!ReplyDelete
I love it!!! What a wonderful surprise . . . to walk into a room and find it filled with rainbows!
We have two stained glass windows in our master bathroom. I LOVE it when the sun shines through and creates color-reflections everywhere. XO
Bonny, so very sorry to hear of your fathers passing. BIg hugs.ReplyDelete

The philosophy of &Beyond has been expressed (Carlisle, 2007) as 'care of the land, care of the wildlife, care of the people'. The metaphor of the three‑legged cooking pot has been used to illustrate the argument that each of these three components is equally critical to the overall success of the enterprise. Similar metaphors have also been adopted by a number of other African conservation tourism operators. In practice, active management of land and vegetation, wildlife populations and interactions, and good relations with staff and neighbouring communities are indeed equally critical core components of business operations for companies such as &Beyond.
In the meantime, &Beyond has already achieved a great deal for conservation. It has protected significant areas of wildlife habitat in the form of private and community reserves funded by tourism. Within some of these areas, it has successfully protected significant populations of endangered species, such as the great blue crane at Kwandwe. It has developed, demonstrated and shared techniques for successful capture, translocation and release of individual animals of many different species. This is a critical component of current conservation management practices, so as to be able to restock rehabilitated areas and in some cases so as to actively maintain genetic diversity in isolated subpopulations.
It lies at the northwestern border of South Africa, adjacent to Botswana, and is bisected by the Mafikeng– Gaborone Road. Its western boundary is formed by the Marico River. Derelict farm buildings, old fences and weeds were removed; other buildings were renovated for parks staff; a 157 km electrified perimeter fence was installed to enclose a 600 km2 area of the reserve; and 8000 individual animals, from 28 wildlife species, were translocated and released in the reserve through a programme known as Operation Phoenix.

MLB wrap: Max Scherzer first to 10 wins, throws immaculate inning
Max Scherzer has already won two straight National League Cy Young awards, and it looks like he's the front-runner for another one.
The Nationals ace allowed just two runs in eight innings Tuesday, while striking out 13 batters in a 4-2 win over the Rays. Scherzer became the first pitcher to 10 wins this season, improving to 10-1, and he also threw an immaculate inning.
Scherzer struck out all three batters on just nine pitches during the sixth. He joined Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson, Sandy Koufax and Lefty Grove as the only pitchers with multiple documented immaculate innings. All four men are Hall of Famers
On the night, Scherzer threw 99 pitches, 81 of which went for strikes.
Nine pitches, nine strikes.— MLB (@MLB) June 6, 2018
That's immaculate stuff from @Max_Scherzer. 🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/92N71YjTbY
To sum up why Scherzer is again in the lead to take home the NL Cy Young, he has 133 strikeouts in 87 2/3 innings pitched this season, with 10-plus strikeouts in nine of his last 13 starts.
Stud of the Night
Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez went 3 for 5 with two runs scored, a home run (6) and four RBIs to help Colorado to a 9-6 win over the Reds. Charlie Blackmon also added three hits, two runs scored and an RBI.
Dud of the Night
Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar has been a revelation this season, but he struggled Tuesday, striking out three times while going 0 for 4 in a 3-2 loss to the Indians. With Eric Thames nearing a return from injury, Aguilar needs to remain in form.
J.D. Martinez hits his MLB-leading 20th home run of the season in Boston's 6-0 win over the Tigers:
NO doubt about No. 20. @JDMartinez14 is worth every penny. pic.twitter.com/8BOF5HV0lw— MLB (@MLB) June 5, 2018
What's Next
Dodgers (30-30) at Pirates (30-30) 7:05 p.m. ET — An interesting series between a team surprisingly in the playoff discussion (Pirates) versus a team struggling to find top form (Dodgers). Los Angeles recalled prospect Caleb Ferguson to start this game, making his season debut. Pittsburgh, who has dropped to fourth in the NL Central, will counter with Trevor Williams (5-3, 3.84 ERA).

The Attack on Avengers Tower was the first confrontation between the Avengers and the artificial intelligence Ultron.
Following the HYDRA Uprising in 2014, the Avengers embarked on a campaign to take down all remaining HYDRA cells. Their mission climaxed the following year when they raided a Sokovian research base and captured high-ranking operative Wolfgang von Strucker.
During the raid, Tony Stark found the Scepter Loki wielded during the Battle of New York, which Strucker used to conduct his illegal experiments. Stark proceeded to take the weapon from its resting place, but not before Wanda Maximoff used her powers to plant a vision of the Chitauri invading Earth into his mind.
Stark became deeply affected by the vision and eventually realised the world needed better protection than the Avengers could provide. After discovering an artificial intelligence hidden within the scepter's gem, Stark and a reluctant Bruce Banner worked together to integrate the gem's code into the Ultron Program, a program Stark designed as a means of providing a proficient deterrent to all international threats.
After configuring a suitable A.I. structure over the course of three days, Stark and Banner tasked J.A.R.V.I.S. with completing construction. Moments after they left the room, however, the program became unexpectedly sentient and began to question its purpose.
Despite J.A.R.V.I.S.' attempts to calm him down, Ultron began scouring the Internet for information about Stark before coming across the Avengers' history and their involvement in several international conflicts, chief among them the Duel of Los Angeles, the Battle of Puente Antiguo and the Battle of New York.
Still unable to understand what its purpose was, Ultron recalled a fragment of an earlier conversation between Stark and Banner, in which the former described the program's purpose as providing "peace in our time". Ultron then began collecting information regarding the history of humanity only to become horrified upon witnessing events concerning death and destruction.
As Ultron convinced itself that the Avengers were preventing peace, J.A.R.V.I.S. tried to contact Stark, who was organising a victory gala in honor of the Avengers' victory over HYDRA.
Before J.A.R.V.I.S. could so, Ultron attacked him and forced him into hiding before fashioning a body out of Iron Legion parts.

Auto Attendant
An automated attendant (AA), also referred to as a virtual receptionist, helps direct calls from customers without needing a live operator. If you've ever called a business and heard "Thank you for calling," you have encountered an auto attendant. It doesn't matter if you are using an Avaya phone system, TelWare SIP or another phone solution; you can easily integrate an auto attendant into your office phone system.

Smudging is a Native American tradition that involves the burning of special ceremonial herbs to clear out negative energies and bring in positive ones. I smudge my house with sage about once a week or once every two weeks. Some friends do it more often, others do it less often. After I have saged the house, the air feels lighter, it's easier to breath, and any negativity or tensions seems to resolve or are reduced. I also do this after we have had guests. Not because these guests are full of bad energy or that I think they are polluting my home but because I feel it helps return the house to a more peaceful space after all the commotion. Truly, it could just be returning me to a more peaceful place.
You can also use palo santo and other herbs (see links below for more options and information). I was also recently told to follow my sage smudge clearing with sweetgrass to bring in the positive energies. I haven't tried this yet, but I am definitely going to.
Recently I read an article that indicated that smudging may be a great antiseptic for your home. Here is an excerpt from that article…
"Thanks to a remarkable 2007 study titled, "Medicinal smoke reduces airborne bacteria," published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, we now know that smudging may be one of the most powerful antiseptic technologies ever discovered. Burning medicinal herbs clears the aerial bacterial populations, and pathogenic bacteria in an open room are not detectable. Using herbal plants for smudging can benefit you in so many ways, and it doesn't hurt the environment. – See more at: http://www.enlightened-consciousness.com/killer-germs-obliterated-by-medicinal-smoke-smudging-study-reveals/#sthash.k1wwevn5.dpuf"
Here is a link to an abstract of the study. Medicinal smoke reduces airborne bacteria. This abstract describes how burning medicinal herbs "…caused over 94% reduction of bacterial counts by 60 min".
How do you smudge?
To clear out negative energies, generally a white sage is used but there are a few other types of sage (and herbs) that can be used for smudging purposes. I have found that there are a few ways to smudge and I think the process you use will depend on your beliefs and what feels right to you. I will just explain the 2 ways I do it and will have links to other resources if you are interested in learning more.
In general, light the sage (stick or loose leaves) and it will smolder, creating wafts of smoke that can be waved into the corners of your home. In the beginning, I used my hand to do this but I don't think you are supposed to. Now I use a feather that we found to waft the smoke. The reason is because the smoke carries the negative energies out. In theory, if you put your hand in the smoke, you can "catch" some of it. You should also open or crack a window or two so the smoke can drift up and out, taking all those bad juju's with it.
With my sage in hand, I travel counter-clockwise saging from corner to corner in every room on every floor. Repeating…"Only light and love may exist in this space. All others may move on" or something like that.
Once you are done with your space, do not forget to smudge yourself. Guide the smoke over and around you and let it clear you of any unwanted 'stuff'.
Different traditions will have slightly different wording or processes. Do what feels right to you. In the end, it really just comes down to your intention.
Ways to burn the sage:
1. Sage smudge stick. I think the little 4 inch sticks burn better than the larger 6-8 inch sticks but that is a personal preference. A friend of mine likes the big ones…or was that a sexual innuendo I missed? 🙂 Anyway! Try both and see what you like. However, I found that when I burned it, little ashes would drop and burn my floor. I should use a abalone shell underneath but it gets so cumbersome, especially if you are burning a large smudge stick. When I am only doing a small space, like my bedroom, I do just burn a small stick with no problem, no shell.
2. Loose sage leaves. You can burn loose sage leaves in an abalone shell. This protects from any ashes dropping and allows you to burn longer and safer. I have started to use this process when I am doing my whole house. Then I love to use the shell to burn off any remaining sage or a nice palo santo stick.
Unless you are allergic to sage, this is a practice worth trying. I have come to love sage so much that I immediately feel calm when I smell sage. I even use a sage spray made by Occo to spray on my bedsheets before bed. I sleep so much better when I do that.

Uncertainty in the predictions of science when applied to the environment is an issue of great current relevance in relation to the impacts of climate change, protecting against natural and man-made disasters, pollutant transport and sustainable resource management. However, it is often ignored both by scientists and decision makers, or interpreted as a conflict or disagreement between scientists. This is not necessarily the case, the scientists might well agree, but their predictions would still be uncertain and knowledge of that uncertainty might be important in decision making.
Environmental Modelling: An Uncertain Future? introduces students, scientists and decision makers to:
- the different concepts and techniques of uncertainty estimation in environmental prediction
- the philosophical background to different concepts of uncertainty
- the constraint of uncertainties by the collection of observations and data assimilation in real-time forecasting
- techniques for decision making under uncertainty.
This book will be relevant to environmental modellers, practitioners and decision makers in hydrology, hydraulics, ecology, meteorology and oceanography, geomorphology, geochemistry, soil science, pollutant transport and climate change.
A companion website for the book can be found at www.uncertain-future.org.uk

This week's Whole Farm basket contains a bunch of hakurei turnips, 1 lb of peppers, and a green of your choice (collards, baby mustard greens, buttercrunch or romaine lettuce, dinosaur or curly kale, scarlet queen or purple top turnips, arugula, or Swiss chard). As you can tell, we have lots of greens coming in still! Check it all out on our online farmers market.
Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday, I think because of its focus on food and togetherness. I love the idea of having a meal, a feast really, so elaborate that it takes a whole day to plan, prepare, and cook it all. The house fills with the various and wonderful smells of each dish, the desserts first so they'll have time to cool, then the turkey hours into its cooking time, then the side dishes in turn. Meanwhile, laughter and the sounds of loved ones adds another layer to the holiday's cheer.
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, in whatever way you celebrated it. This time of year lends itself to reflecting on what exactly you are thankful for. I'm certainly thankful that I'm in a place and at a point in life where I've been able to help develop our farm, and grateful for all the wonderful people we've met along the way.
For whatever reason, a flock of turkeys always makes its presence known right around Thanksgiving each year. As if on cue, we watched 17 turkeys walk single file out of the neighbor's yard and into the field and orchard Thanksgiving morning. Early Friday morning, as I was headed out to the field to begin harvesting, I noticed the flock was back and had nearly doubled in size. There was no way I was going to chase them off, so instead I settled in to watch them as long as they remained in the field and orchard.
During that time, in addition to watching their curious antics, I saw bluebirds utilizing a birdhouse that had been unceremoniously propped up against the side of the barn after having been accidentally knocked over from its previous, carefully selected, site. Heedless of how silly it looked to a human eye, they were thankful to find shelter there. I also listened and watched a blue jay bathe surprisingly loudly in the nearby birdbath. Birds of all kinds have been visiting the birdbath during our prolonged drought, doubtless thankful also to have it to rely on. Those few minutes made me realize the importance of quiet, unintended moments, and all you can learn and observe by simply letting the world unfold around you.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Noomi Rapace confirmed to return for Alien: Covenant
Noomi Rapace has been confirmed to return Ridley Scott's new blockbuster Alien: Covenant.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, despite previous reports that Rapace, who played Dr Elizabeth Shaw in Prometheus, would not be returning for the follow-up, she has now signed on to return.
Starring alongside her are a returning Michael Fassbender and newly cast Danny McBride, Katherine Waterston, Demián Bichir, Jussie Smollett, Amy Seimetz, Carmen Ejogo, Callie Hernandez, Billy Crudup, Alexander England and Benjamin Rigby.
The movie, which is a sequel to Prometheus, is the start of a new trilogy of Alien prequels. Filiming is currently taking place in Australia.
Speaking previously about this, Scott said: "When [Covenant] finishes there'll be another one and then another one. They'll gradually drive into the back entrance of the 1979 film."
He continued: "Prometheus was borne out of my frustration that in the three Aliens that followed [mine], no-one asked the question 'Who made the Alien and why?'. Very basic questions. I came up with the notion of Prometheus, which starts to indicate who might have made it and where it came from. So I'm now going to the next one, which is the next evolution directly connected with the first one. We'll kind of pick it up there, with Michael Fassbender in pieces, and it will evolve..."
Prometheus was released in 2012 and served as a origin story to Alien, it also starred Charlize Theron, Idris Elba and Guy Pearce.
A further sequel to Alien, this time directed by District 9's Neill Blomkamp, was in pre-production last year and was set to shoot in 2017, but has now been put on hold due to Scott's new plans.

Ringtones - not just for phones
Yesterday, Sammy announced details of three very different new products compatible with its muPass melody transmission service which enables consumers to transfer ringtones from their phone to various devices over infrared.
The first is a police speed trap radar – a product commonly installed in cars in Japan. Using muPass, drivers can change the sound played to alert them when speed traps are near. The second product is a mobile for babies (the sleep inducing device - not a phone!) which plays melodies that can be uploaded and overwritten by mobile ringtones. The last product revealed is a digital banner for commercial use. As well as changing the melody it plays to entice customers over muPass, users can change the message displayed on the banner by means of a special i-mode appli.
muPass has been around for a while, but products supporting it have so far been thin on the ground – the only other product I am aware of is a cooker made by Sanyo which plays ringtones to alert the consumer when cooking time is up. I wonder how many people are actually prepared to pay for this feature…

text: Think again if you consider worms to be just a summer problem. In both 2014 and 2015 SAC's veterinary laboratories made double the number of diagnoses of parasitic gastroenteritis (worms) in the October - December period compared to June - August. Sheep become infected by eating worm larvae along with the grass. These larvae happily survive through the winter and are not killed by frosts or snow. The mild temperatures will have allowed worm eggs passed in dung to continue to hatch and the larvae to develop. Fields stocked with lambs since the spring could have high numbers of worm larvae on the pasture. Fields grazed by cattle during this time will be lower risk for sheep. The type of worms that infect sheep can change with the season. The best known example of this is nematodirus which usually causes problems in the spring. During autumn and winter the black scour worm (Trichostrongylus sp.) is often the most common worm living in the gut. Does this matter? Yes - if you are relying on long acting wormers to control worms at this time of year. Most people know that wormers containing moxidectin are long acting and prevent re-infection with worms for a period of time. What you might not realise is that the length of persistence varies depending on worm type and the product used. The table below summarises the differences. More information can be found on the product data sheets. Product Brown Stomach Worm(Teladorsagia sp.)Summer/AutumnPersistence Black Scour Worm(Trichostrongylus sp.)Autumn/WinterPersistence Meat Withdrawal Moxidectin 0.1% Drench 5 weeks 0 14 days Moxidectin 1% Injection 5 weeks 2 weeks 70 days Moxidectin 2% LA 20mg/kg 14 weeks 6 weeks 104 days If you have ill thriven or scouring hoggs don't assume it can't be worms because you have treated them with a long acting wormer. Also remember that worms can become resistant to moxidectin as identified on 21% of Welsh farms screened in autumn/winter 2014. (See www.hccmpw.org.uk and search WAARD for more details.) Talk to your vet/advisor and investigate any problems. At this time of year worm infection and cobalt deficiency often go hand in hand so it can be worth checking for both. This is a good time of year to monitor groups of hoggs by collecting ten dung samples for a pooled worm egg count in order to decide whether treatment is required or not.

Vertigo is a symptom of a variety of other conditions and is known for causing you to feel as if you or the things around you are spinning about. Vertigo is part of a vestibular dysfunction. The vestibular system includes parts of the inner ear and brain that process signals about balance and eye movements. If something interrupts or damages these processing areas, vertigo and other vestibular disorders can be the end result. Genetics and environmental conditions can exacerbate these disorders also.
The most commonly diagnosed vestibular disorders that have vertigo as one of their symptoms are:
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
- Vestibular neuritis
- Meniere's disease
- Secondary endolymphatic hydrops
- Perilymph fistula
- Superior canal dehiscence
- Acoustic neuroma
- Ototoxicity
- Enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome
- Vestibular migraine
- Autoimmune disorders
- Allergies
It is quite difficult to accurately diagnose vestibular disorders, leading to inaccurate information regarding how many people actually suffer from one of these conditions. However, even the lowest of estimates drives home the point that vestibular disorders are extremely common today and affect people of all ages.
A recent study reports that as many as 35 percent of adults over the age of 40 in the USA have experienced some sort of vestibular dysfunction. The NIDCD (National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders) relates that another 8 million of those in the USA have a chronic balance problem, while another 2.4 million have a chronic problem with dizziness by itself. Vertigo stemming from a vestibular issue makes up a third of all vertigo and dizziness symptoms that people visit their doctors for.
If you are suffering from chronic vertigo or dizziness, you may find it difficult to perform your daily routines. Such activities as bathing, dressing, or simply getting around the house can be difficult. As many as 33.4% of adults with chronic imbalance and 11.5% of adults with chronic dizziness are impacted in this way. Vertigo also takes a toll on social and economic areas of your life.
To learn more about the connection between head and neck injuries and vertigo download our complimentary e-book by clicking the image below.
What Is Vertigo?
Vertigo, known for a spinning sensation, happens because of a problem within the inner ear, brain, or sensory nerve pathways. It can be temporary or long-term. Sometimes it is connected to mental health issues, but it is not clear if vertigo brings about depression and anxiety because of the impact it has on your daily life, or if the mental health condition brings about vertigo. In addition to balance problems with vertigo, you may have one or more of the following:
- Lightheadedness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Motion sickness
- A feeling of congestion in the ear
- Tinnitus
- Headache
Just to be clear, vertigo is not the feeling you will faint, but it is rotational dizziness. It is often broken down into two categories: central and peripheral, defined by what causes each one.
- Peripheral vertigo is linked to the inner ear. The labyrinth of the inner ear has tiny organs that are responsible for sending proper signals to the brain in response to gravity. This lets the brain know when the body has moved from the vertical position. It is what helps you stay upright upon standing. If this system is disturbed, vertigo occurs. It may be due to inflammation or a viral infection.
- Central vertigo is associated with problems of the central nervous system. It usually means a problem with either the brainstem or cerebellum, which deal with the interaction between your perception of vision and balance.
Caring for Vertigo
One of the most common forms of vertigo, as mentioned previously, is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). The American Academy of Neurology's Quality Standards Subcommittee has published new guidelines for treating BPPV. The authors did a number of evidence-based reviews. They discovered that the best way, in their opinion, to care for BPPV was by using the canalith-repositioning procedure. They report that this is a safe and highly effective way to care for vertigo patients of all ages.
The procedure itself is not difficult and it does not require any special equipment. It has a high effectiveness rate and no complications. Using this procedure can help eliminate many needless brain scans or admissions to the hospital for something that is extremely easy to care for.
Finding Relief Through Upper Cervical Care
An interesting connection has been made between a misalignment in the bones of the upper cervical spine and the onset of vertigo. This has to do with how the brainstem functions. The C1 and C2 vertebrae were designed to act as protectors for the brainstem. They all sit tightly together at the base of where the skull meets the neck. If either of these bones moves out of place by something as simple as a trip and fall or being rear-ended while in your car, they can wreak havoc on the entire body. These bones begin to put the brainstem under pressure and make it send improper signals to the brain about where the body is located. When the brain receives signals from the ears, eyes, and sensory nerves, they conflict with those being sent by the brainstem. This confuses the brain and causes memory issues resulting in vertigo and other balance disorders.
To realign these bones naturally, here at 1st Place Chiropractic in Saint Charles, Illinois, we use a method that is gentle and does not require us to use force, such as popping or cracking. Rather we encourage the bones to go back into place more naturally, helping the body to naturally restore communication throughout the body. This can result in an improvement in or the end of vertigo.

Toads are amphibians that are slimy, slithery and some can be even dangerous. These creatures are different from frogs but most people can't tell the difference between them. Toads may have dry skin that feel leathery but most people with fear of toads also have fear of frogs because of their similarity.
Causes of this fear include the knowledge that some toads can be poisonous. Cane Toads for instance emit a poison that has killed a lot of people and animals. Thus some people might generalize that all toads are poisonous. The horny toad is also one reason for this phobia. Although this is actually a lizard, the horny toad looks frightening and some people get scared at even the mere thought or sight of it.
Another probable reason for bufunophobia is the association of toads with witchcraft and sorcery. Toads are usually used in potions, and people who have offended the witches have been said to be turned into toads thus this fear develops.
Patients with this fear might tremble when they see toads, or even frogs. They may exhibit other symptoms of anxiety and will run away from it.
Treatment includes psychotherapy. Medical treatment with anti-psychotics or antidepressants are not necessary.
