The religion is the greatest bullshit story ever told. Religion has actually convinced you that there's an invisible God living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute, every day. And the invisible God has a special place for you if you don't follow him, the place full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and scream and cry forever and ever until the end of time.
But religion says... He loves you!
I know you are sincere, I know you believe in God, at least, you're trying. You really, really do. You're trying to believe that there is a God, who created you in his own image and likeness, loves you very much, and keeps a close eye on you. You're really trying to believe that, but I gotta tell you, the longer you live, the more you look around, the more you realize, something is fucked up.
You believe in God who could make good people as easily as bad, yet he prefered to make the bad ones. You believe in God who can make everyone happy, yet he never made a single person happy. Finally, with divine apology, he invites these poor, abused slaves to worship him.
Something is wrong here.
My entire life journey has led me to this very moment in time. I finally arrived to a place where I am okay with this. It is so simple. We are all idiots. Like robots; programmed by this shitty society. So routinary, so weak. Masturbatory.
But you, you're too busy holding onto God's hand. Thinking how wonderful you are, how sensitive, how unique. You are not unique! The scenario of your life has already been written by others. You may know this but you don't care. Fuck it, you say. You are an ultimate cynic. That's how you live!
You worry, oooh, how you worry, twenty-six hours a day! And what do you worry about?... About "you"! What about "you"? What's in this shit for you? What's gonna happen to you?
Egomania! So horrendous. But fascinating!
Just like a greedy ape who reaches through an opening for a seed and cannot relinquish control and nothing will make him drop that seed, so you too, you are loving Jesus who is bleeding, nailed to the cross. That's your symbol, but the plastic Jesus is not a God.
Nothing exists, all is a dream. God, life, mankind, the world, the sun, moon, stars - all a dream, all without being or existence.
Strange, indeed, that you should not have seen so far that life is only a vision, fiction! The life is hysterically insane - constant struggle to earn money for surviving, fighting diseases, hunger, filth, poverty, pains, old age and what is awaiting on the end... the death. Holy Shit! If this is the best the God can do, I am not impressed. Results like these do not belong to a good resume. This is the kind of shit you'd expect from an office bureaucrat with a bad attitude.
Do you see that your life is impossible except as a dream? Do you see that your life is pure insanity, the silly creation of an imagination that is not conscious of its freaks. It is your dream, you are maker of it, but you lack the energy to understand that.
There is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a very foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are just a thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wondering the empty eternities.

The Department of Defense is denying death benefits to families of U. S. Military soldiers killed after the government shutdown. So far, five families grieving the loss of their loved ones are being forced to endure this despicable act of evil and disrespect by the United States government.
Fox Insider News
Family members of United States fallen soldiers are receiving the ultimate insult by the very government that sent their loved ones to war. So far, at least five families have been told they will not be receiving death benefits. Why? All because they were killed after the government shut down....
… One of those fallen soldiers is Sergeant Patrick Hawkins. He died while helping a wounded ranger. Kelly observed, 'The ranger creed is never leave a fallen comrade. I mean the irony of that given what happened to him and his family is stark….'
Read full article and see discussion between Megyn Kelly and Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA).
See also: Col. North: 'It Takes a Commander in Chief With a Conscience' to Restore Military Death Benefits (video below)
Col. North is right. Although the government shutdown is mere an excuse to stick it to our heroes, this is more about Barack Obama's disdain for the United States military.
As beaker2000 commented below the above video:
Ms Kelly, the Obama administration made this conscious choice to harass the families of these fallen heroes. There are 8 bipartisan bills that Harry Reid is preventing the Senate from voting on, which would fund all of these things. How is this the fault of the Republicans in the house? Have you lost your objectivity?

Dave Lee Travis told of his 18 months of hell on Thursday after he was cleared of a string of historic sex offences.
The 68-year-old former Top of the Pops presenter and Radio 1 disc jockey said that he felt no sense of victory at the not guilty verdicts.
He claimed that his reputation was in tatters after he was charged as part of the Operation Yewtree investigation.
He said he had been forced to sell his Bedfordshire home to pay his legal fees.
Despite being cleared of 12 counts of indecent assault, Mr Travis's ordeal is not over after the jury failed to reach verdicts on two of the charges.
The Crown Prosecution Service will now consider whether to hold a retrial on the two outstanding charges, which relate to allegations from 1991 and 2008.
A hearing is to be held at Southwark Crown Court on Feb 24 when it will be decided whether fresh proceedings will be launched.
Speaking on the steps of the court after the not guilty verdicts, Mr Travis said: "I am not over the moon about any of this. I do not feel like there is a victory of any way, shape or form … on the contrary.
"You already know I have been through a year and a half of hell, which included costing me so much money. To pay for my part of the trial – proving the point not all famous people have lots in the bank – I had to sell my home.
"I did lose my reputation as well, which I may try to get back later, but basically I want to say that I have had two trials.
"One trial by the media and one trial by the Crown Court and I have to say that I prefer the trial by Crown Court.
"All I want to do now is to go home and relax with my wife, who has been suffering also and has been by my side."
Mr Travis, known to his fans as DLT, was initially arrested in November 2012 by officers from the Metropolitan Police's Operation Yewtree unit.
The investigation was launched after the Jimmy Savile scandal but the allegations Mr Travis faced had nothing to do with the shamed former television star.
He was rearrested in March last year after fresh allegations emerged. He was eventually charged in August. During the six-week trial at Southwark Crown Court, the prosecution painted Mr Travis, whose real name is David Patrick Griffin, as a sexual predator, who used his celebrity status to target young women.
The DJ, who has been married to his wife Marianne for more than 40 years, always vehemently denied the claims. He said he often hugged women, but had never forced himself on anybody.
He told the jury: "If I like someone I will hug them and give them a kiss.
"Nowadays you can't do that apparently. If patting somebody's bottom in the 1970s was a crime, half the country would be in jail now."
Mr Travis made his name on the pirate station Radio Caroline before joining Radio 1 in 1968. He became one of the station's most established voices and presented Top of the Pops between 1974 and 1984.
He left in dramatic style in 1993, resigning live on air, in protest at changes being made to Radio 1.
Since then he has worked for several commercial radio stations.

Experts Guide to Company Pension Schemes
Workplace pensions, also known as company pension schemes, have long been the preferred method for saving for retirement. For generations, people have put money into these pension schemes during their working careers, then converted pension funds into annuities at retirement. Moreover, while some things have remained the same over the years, there have been quite a few changes in recent years due to pension reform. It is more important than ever before for workers to understand company pension schemes and how these work.
The first thing to understand is that the company pension is distinct and separate from the state pension. Even though you might pay into National Insurance toward your eventual state pension, your employer may also offer an additional company pension into which you can contribute. Doing so is a good idea. Why? Because the state pension is not going to provide enough income to pay your bills during retirement.
Thanks to auto-enrolment, most workers in the UK will be involved in company pension schemes by 2018. You can opt out of your employer's plan if you believe there are more attractive options elsewhere. We encourage you to be careful of opting out without an alternative form of retirement saving.
Rules for Auto-Enrolment
Auto-enrolment was implemented by the government in 2012 as a means of ensuring as many workers as possible were saving for retirement. Every company with at least one staff member, above and beyond directors, has some legal obligations relating to the programme. The largest companies began implementing auto-enrolment in 2012; the smallest companies will not be required to comply until 2018.
The most important thing for employers to know is their staging date. This date is the date they are required to begin complying with auto-enrolment rules. Who is eligible for auto-enrolment? The rules apply as follows:
- Any worker over the age of 22 and earning at least £833 monthly must be automatically enrolled in a workplace pension. The employer must contribute to that pension as well. Workers can opt out if they choose.
- All workers earning at least £833 per month, and under 22 or over the state pension age, have the right to opt in to a workplace pension offered by an employer. If they opt in, employer contributions are required.
- Workers of all ages earning between £486 and £833 per month also have the right to opt in to a workplace pension that includes employer contributions.
- Workers of all ages earning less than £486 monthly have the right to enrol in a workplace pension; employer contributions are not required.
If your employer has already reached its staging date, you should have received some form of notice regarding auto-enrolment. If you have not yet received such notice, check with your employer to be sure you have not been simply overlooked. The employer is required to furnish you with all the necessary information needed to make a decision about pension investing in the company plan.
NEST Company Pension Schemes
When the government developed the auto-enrolment programme, it understood that some small employers would struggle to comply due to the financial obligations related to pensions. The issue was addressed by developing the NEST programme. This programme provides low-cost company pension schemes backed by the government and made available to smaller employers and the self-employed.
The government expects a fair number of small and mid-size companies to choose NEST pensions rather than working with traditional pension providers. NEST is very attractive to employers because it offers:
- low charges
- flexible contributions
- easy set-up and administration.
Employers also appreciate that NEST company pension schemes are defined contribution pensions by default. What is a defined contribution pension? It is a pension with a payout based solely on the contributions made and the performance of the investments in the fund. Simply put, if you contribute £100,000 to a defined contribution pension scheme, you will be paid that same amount of money plus any additional earnings produced by the fund. If your fund lost money, which is always a possibility, your earnings could be less than the amount you contributed.
Defined contribution pension schemes are more affordable to employers than their defined benefit counterparts are. A defined benefit pension is one that guarantees a certain level of retirement income regardless of how well investments perform. These pensions are often called final salary schemes because income is typically tied to the final salary an individual was earning at retirement. Defined benefit pension schemes are very costly to employers and, as such, are quickly fading away in the UK.
Establishing Company Pension Schemes
Employers and their employees have different responsibilities in terms of establishing company pension schemes. Employees have it easier in that they only have to fill out the appropriate paperwork and submit it to the relevant department. Contributions are automatically deducted from pay; the worker chooses investment options on an annual basis. Things are more complicated for the employer.
To begin with, the employer must determine what kind of pension scheme it wants to offer employees. Company pension schemes are usually provided by legally established trusts or certified pension administrators such as banks and insurance companies. Neither option is necessarily better than the other is in a broad sense, but the details of each pension scheme a company is looking at may indicate some advantages or disadvantages.
The step-by-step process for establishing a company pension is as follows:
- Investigate various options in order to find a list of pension schemes that can be used for auto-enrolment.
- Determine how much your company can afford to spend on contributions.
- Determine how much income you want your pension scheme to return to employees.
- Determine any specific investment opportunities you want to invest in or avoid altogether.
- Research all of your options thoroughly; ask plenty of questions along the way.
- Choose your pension provider and begin the process of establishing your scheme.
- Inform your employees once the scheme is established, opening enrolment as necessary.
Researching your company pension scheme options is the most important step in the entire process. Suffice to say that not every workplace pension scheme is advantageous to you as an employer. You need to know the following:
- Fees and Charges – Every pension scheme involves fees and charges assessed to both employers and workers. The idea is to guarantee maximum value by comparing fees and charges with earnings and other benefits.
- Future Legislation – Employers need to know if their chosen pension scheme allows them to comply with future legislation in a way that is manageable and scalable. An inflexible scheme is one that could end up being useless when changes are made at any time in the future.
- Specific Rules – Pension providers have a certain amount of freedom in establishing the rules of their schemes. You need to know of any special rules, such as those that might affect what happens to pension funds when a worker dies.
- Provider History – Knowing the history of the pension provider can tell you a lot about what to expect in the future. A provider with a good reputation is likely more trustworthy than another with a questionable reputation. Do not ignore the past problems of any provider you are considering working with.
Company pension schemes are important to both employers and employees. They are excellent tools for employees looking to recruit, hire, and retain the best talent in their respective industries. They are important to workers in that they provide a means of saving for retirement. You owe it to yourself to learn everything you can about company pensions and how they affect you and/or your business.

Torrential rain forced the cancellation of Fort Meade's National Night Out on Aug 1 — a first for the annual celebration.
"Unfortunately, this was the first time in our history that weather didn't cooperate and we had to cancel the event," Fort Meade Police Capt. Brian Kunkel, an organizer of the event, wrote in a post on the Fort Meade Facebook page.
"But heavy rains, lightning and increased winds forced us to make the call for safety purposes."
Lorrie Short, a member of the Officers Spouses' Club, which participates in the event, posted her thoughts on Facebook:
"First time … it had to be canceled, but safety is the main concern."
The call to cancel the event came around 6 p.m., almost an hour after the event kicked off with a convoy of first-responder vehicles through Fort Meade neighborhoods.
At 5 p.m., the sky was overcast. About 30 minutes later, sprinkles quickly turned into heavy rain after the convoy made its way to McGlachlin Parade Field.
Garrison Commander Col. Tom Rickard, Command Sgt. Maj. Brian S. Cullen, Deputy Commander Andy Albright, Corvias Business Director J.C. Calder and their families, along with McGruff the Crime Dog, descended from Fire Engine No. 45 onto the wet field.
Rickard, Calder and Lt. Col. Jeffrey Knudson, director of the Directorate of Emergency Services, attempted to formally sign the "Community Night Out" proclamation, but the downpour made it difficult for the ink from their markers to dry.
Rickard praised Fort Meade's law enforcement and fire departments for their efforts to keep the community safe.
"This is a great opportunity for us to proclaim National Night Out at Fort George G. Meade," Rickard said. "We have great security provided by our DES."
At the start of the event, families armed with umbrellas walked onto the parade field. But many people decided to stand under the canopies of the law enforcement, fire and Fort Meade agencies that participated in National Night Out, waiting for the rain to cease.
However, flashes of lightning and periodic thunder, combined with the downpour, led DES to formally cancel the popular event that typically draws thousands of people.
"Sad the weather didn't cooperate tonight," Deanna Stadtmueller wrote in a Facebook post. "Our little guy was so excited to see the fire trucks. But we were sitting in the parking lot for about 25 minutes waiting for it to let up before it was canceled. And I think they made the right call."
One planned highlight of the evening was the Fort Meade App Challenge.
Mary Doyle, Fort Meade's media relations chief, said the challenge may be rescheduled.
"We might do it later without a big public event," she said. "We really do want people to download the app."
Doyle said one bright spot was that people who did have the Fort Meade App were immediately notified that the event was canceled.
Kunkel posted on Facebook plans for next year's National Night Out will begin soon.
"We are determined to make 2018 NNO a blowout event," Kunkel wrote. "Thank you again for your support, and we will see you next year."

How you encourage your cat to drink
Cats absorb their mainly liquid portion by food. That's why we should pay special attention to cats which are getting dry food. Because a too less fluid intake can causes to kidney problems and urinary tract infections.
But how you can encourage your cat to drink?
Unfortunately there is no universal recipe for success.
It requires creativity, observations skills and endurance! :)
Some cats love it to drink from the running tap, others prefer stagnant water. If your four-legged friend prefer moving water, you can even buy special drinking fountains for cats.
It's also very important where you put the water bowls. Don'ts: Water bowls beside feeding points or in close proximity of the cat toilet. This places are mostly unpopular. The best idea is to distribute several water bowls throughout your home. That is the best drink reminder for your four-legged house inhabitant. :) So they can take a small sip while passing by their forays.
Sometimes cats are unhappy with their drinking vessels – so provide different water bowls. Others aren't that sensitive and drink from watering cans (Take care, if you pour with fertilizers).
After a little time you know how, where and what your cat prefer to drink – and have set the best conditions for a well hydrated house cat! :) Miaow!

Well, they say "time flies when you're having fun"! Can't quite believe we're only 10 days away from the end of April already!
I've had a busy few weeks which I thought I'd share with you. A real treat was to attend the Country Living magazine Spring Fair at Islington. I've been searching for a genuine old cow bell for years as have visions of using it as a front door bell. To my absolute joy I found a beauty at one of the first stands we encountered!
It was pleasant to have a day in the city when not working and of course included a visit to Borough market where I bought a delicious slab of fresh comte cheese! A few days later I taught a class at the idyllic Springhead Rural Skills Centre at Fontmell Magna, not far from home.
The grounds and lake were looking stunning as they slowly awaken in early spring. I was invited to be a guest chef at the Milford-on-Sea Food festival not long after, making a batch of mozzarella for a large gathered audience in their Cookery theatre.
The organisers certainly had put on an impressive line-up of week long activities. I've also been back to Leiths School of Food and Wine - I really enjoy my time teaching with them. They're always so perfectly organised, friendly and accommodating and really do go out of their way to make the entire cookery school experience an enjoyable one ... for students and visiting tutors! I've returned to WI Denman for a residential class. Adore my time with them all there and call it my "working spa break"!!
Big days and enormous amounts of cheese made (often using more than 200 litres!) but enjoyable all the same, in the company of lovely ladies. I've taken a private class in the New Forest - what a great idea of the host to purchase her entire family and a couple of friends 'cheese class' gift vouchers for Christmas presents. Throw in a couple of my regular classes and I'm sure you'll agree it's been a busy time - but I wouldn't want it any other way!

Pro Sticks
For discerning players who want the best – these sticks are state of the art using rubberised 'squidgyness' and texture to create grip levels that put everything else to shame. All high wear areas are hard plastic, but all control and grip surfaces contain differing thicknesses of squidgy material to grip the puck, your palm and your fingers. This squidgyness can be ordered in medium or soft and works like formula one tyres. Soft grips better, but wears out faster as well. Medium squidgy is similar to the rubber on a car tyre, whereas soft is more like a bicycle inner tube. Accept no shabby substitutes.

The Black-and-White Drawings
Isabelle Dervaux
with Essays by:

1st Edition, 2010
Hardback Catalogue
We have seen other editions of this uncommon book on the market - but none that are brand new in original publishers' shrink wrap as this.
This elegant and substantial hardback catalogue with no dust jacket exactly as issued was published on the occasion of the above IMPORTANT exhibition of Lichtenstein's drawings - from the most influential era- the early Sixties.
Between 1961 and 1968, Roy Lichtenstein (1923–1997) created some fifty large-format, highly detailed black-and-white drawings that represent one of the most important Pop-Art contributions to the history of drawing. The motifs stem from the consumer world and were radically new at the time, not only in their imagery but also their style, deliberately reminiscent of substandard commercial art. These independent drawings appropriate tawdry illustrations from packaging, advertisements, and comic books and transform them into works of striking visual intensity, tying in to the clean-edge aesthetic of geometric abstraction in the sixties.
This richly illustrated publication provides a new basis for research on Lichtenstein's early Pop Art years and includes material on the largely unknown 1967 Aspen project, in which the artist transformed a space into a black-and-white cartoon drawing.
For Lichtenstein fans and anyone interested in Pop art, illustration, or cartooning, this collection of the artist's drawings of everyday objects, made during the 1960's and intended as works of art in and of themselves (not as preparation for his paintings), has been gathered by the author, Isabelle Dervaux, and accompanied by various essays examining their style and significance. Dervaux is the curator of modern and contemporary drawings at the Morgan Library & Museum, and the book was published in conjunction with an exhibition of the Lichtenstein drawings at the Morgan.
This hardback volume has 208 pages with 143 illustrations, 139 of which are in color. It measures 11.75 inches (vertical) x 9.75 inches (horizontal.
Note that we have shown interior pages in this listing but the copy you are buying is brand new and never opened!!
NOT ex-library; NO markings whatsoever.
For fans, dealers and collectors of Roy Lichtenstein, for collectors and admirers of art of the Sixties, and for students and scholars of the art of drawing, this is a must-have gorgeous coffee table book, with rarely seen images that add new understanding to the career and oeuvre of this major American Pop Artist.

Publisher: Morgan Library
When American Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein painted Look Mickey in 1961, it set the tone for his career. This primary-color portrait of the cartoon mouse introduced Lichtenstein's detached and deadpan style at a time when introspective Abstract Expressionism reigned. Mining material from advertisements, comics, and the everyday, Lichtenstein brought what was then a great taboo—commercial art—into the gallery. He stressed the artificiality of his images by painting them as though they'd come from a commercial press, with the flat, single-color Ben-Day dots of the newspaper meticulously rendered by hand using paint and stencils. Later in his career, Lichtenstein extended his source material to art history, including the work of Claude Monet and Pablo Picasso, and experimented with three-dimensional works. Lichtenstein's use of appropriated imagery has influenced artists such as Richard Prince, Jeff Koons, and Raymond Pettibon.

Wonder which one of those Tangos hid behind the kids who took the shrapnel?
That kid on the right is pouting... actually, he don't look too happy. Probably VERY angry with his father for making him lie still for so long with his eyes closed.
Wonder how many times the photographer made them do the take before he was satisfied? I can hear him yelling "No, no no! The girl on the right opened her eyes last time! C'mon people, let's get this right, OK? You, carrying the girl! Let's see some more tears!"

"Potential victims of abuse need to seek legal representation as soon as possible, to secure their rights and protect loved ones still the facility"
Uniondale, NY (PRWEB) February 13, 2014
Newsday reported on February 11, 2014 ("AG: $60M 'looted' from Medford nursing home; patient's death cited") that on Monday, the Medford Multicare Center, a Medford nursing home, was accused of endangering the residents of its facility, making "impossible the delivery of required services that Medicaid paid for" and bringing about the death of one resident.
According to Newsday, nine people have been arrested and have been criminally charged in connection with this nursing home probe. "17 licensed and certified workers have been convicted of neglect and falsification of records since 2008, and 5,000 incidents and accidents were reported in the past six years."
The complaint filed in Suffolk County Supreme Court, index number 14-02941, alleges, in part, "New York State has paid Medford over $280 million to provide critical care to its elderly residents... Since Medford opened in 2003, Mordechai Klein, Norman Rausman, Martin Rausman, Michael Rausman, Henry Rausman and Mendel Aschkenazi have withdrawn over $60 million in profit sharing, draws, employee loans, unearned exorbitant salaries, alleged management fees and purported charitable donations to their own family-run private foundations..."
Alleged wrong doings in the verified complaint included misappropriating millions of dollars of public funds to care for the elderly, using the funds to "enrich the defendants through exorbitant salaries, bogus 'fees' through a shell company and self-serving charitable contributions."
"Potential victims of nursing home abuse need to seek legal representation as soon as possible, to secure their rights and protect loved ones still the facility," explains Michael Duffy of The Duffy Law Firm, PLLC. "Actions such as these are deplorable, against the weakest and most vulnerable among us. It is our duty, our obligation to ensure they are protected."
Residents may have suffered a wide range of injuries, including bed sores (also known as pressure ulcers), malnutrition, dehydration and abuse.
"If you believe a loved one has been injured or is at risk, we urge you to seek competent representation to protect your family" he urges.

I woke up this morning to sub-freezing temps and lots of sunshine. Nature was clearly inviting me to explore some new territory (for me), so I headed to Klickitat County, Washington. I started in the town of Bingen, hoping to find a Harris's Sparrow mixed in with the many Golden-crowneds. No dice.
I then headed east on Old Highway 8, and headed upslope, into the forest along Major Creek Road. There was a bit of snow on the (dirt) road and the forest floor, and I was surrounded by Varied Thrushes. Varied Thrushes are related to American Robins, though they are far more skittish. I had excellent views of them the whole way up the road (the road eventually dead-ends at a private driveway), but they were camera shy, per the usual.
Varied Thrush Refusing to Turn Its Head on Major Creek Road, Klickitat County, Washington, USA
Despite not obtaining the photos I hoped for, I was treated to the lovely vocalizations of this enigmatic species. You can hear their beautiful flute-like song at this link. I was then treated to a Pileated Woodpecker doing its thing on a nearby tree, and then a Downy Woodpecker, and then a Fox Sparrow, and then hordes of Oregon Dark-eyed Juncos. I set the camera down and just took it all in -- I never tire of being alone in a forest.
From there, I spent some time on Balch Road, hoping for Lewis's Woodpeckers and whatever else might reveal itself. Sure enough, I came across a flock of Lewis's Woodpeckers. If you've never watched them, they definitely are not your typical woodpecker. They are gregarious. They live in colonies. They are cooperative breeders. They have iridescent green backs, and wine colored breasts. They fly-catch. They tend to stay up high, and like Varied Thrushes, tend to be camera shy. I didn't even get the camera out, which was fine, because spending time with Lewis's Woodpeckers is reward enough, as they don't make it to my side of the Cascades often. You can see a photo I took of a Lewis's Woodpecker a while back by clicking here.
I then headed down to the Klickitat River and the town of Lyle. Bald Eagles were abundant, hanging out on the sand flats on the Columbia River, and perched and flying up and down the Klickitat River. I checked the sewage lagoons -- I was a birder long before I was a photographer, so I feel right at home at sewage lagoons. I then ended up at Lyle County Park, where I was greeted by a Yellow-rumped Warbler of they Myrtle flavor, White-breasted Nuthatches (oaks abound in this part of Klickitat County), a Downy Woodpecker, more Oregon Dark-eyed Juncos, one Varied Thrush, some Common Mergansers, more Bald Eagles of varying ages, and four Hermit Thrushes. The Hermit Thrushes apparently got the memo from the Varied Thrushes, though they seemed to enjoy teasing me a bit with their "almost" poses. At one point, one of them appeared to be doing the hokey-pokey.

I then continued my eastward journey, ending up on Dalles Mountain Road. I was hoping to find some raptors and perhaps some owls. I did find a Great Horned Owl in a publicly accessible barn, but her eyes were burning a hole in me, so I quickly left. From there, I decided to pursue more cooperative subjects on the Oregon side of the gorge.
I made the mistake of touching my metal tripod and camera with my bare hand, so that limited my time with these more cooperative subjects. I was able to manage a couple of keepers, though. Several hours later, my fingers are just now starting to warm up. I really enjoy sub-freezing, crisp days once in a while, as they remind me of my years in Chicago, and they certainly make me feel alive.
Rowena Curves, Historic Columbia River Highway, Oregon, USA
With light fading fast, I went to some of my favorite sunset spots in the gorge. Reality told me the sun was too far south for my plan to work, but I checked anyway. Once again, reality won the day.
I figured I better finally photograph my version of a Multnomah Falls in winter. Alas, it turned out like the other ones I've seen online! Of course, mine shows a damaged bridge that was pummeled by a falling rock recently. You can read about that by clicking here. Regardless, it was exhilarating to hear and then see some ice fall while being sprayed in the face by the chilly waterfall mist.

To be honest, I had not watched one episode of this show. I'm too afraid to get addicted.
So much Joyrich lately, it is like Joyrich galore. Though you are probably sick of it (joking) more coming your way...kinda. Not really.
If you did not know, Dream High was being sponsored by Lesportsac. Many of their shoes, backpacks, tees, sweatshirts and jackets are from LeSportsac. Like the one above which is a request from abc. It is from the newest collection of a collaboration of LeSportsac x Joyrich for their Spring 2011 collection. Currently in stores and online. The one above's name is Pink Leopard and is priced for 158$ USD here.

Donald Trump Embracing His Wealth
Lisa Boothe: I don't know if they've been craving to hear it, but they're tired of political correctness. Mitt Romney was an affable guy but he was over coached. He wanted to excuse the fact he made a lot of money. Can you imagine the new York Yankees and you've got a guy that comes along and says I'm a hardworking guy, I'm just like the rest of you, great, I don't want him to be the captain. I want Derek Jeter to be the captain. I want successful people to be president. This idea that America has, Hey, I'm just a working stiff like everybody else, that doesn't work when you're running for the highest office in the land, the most powerful position in the entire world. Donald Trump, whether you like him or not, he doesn't run from the fact he's a successful man and, yes, the idea of this one versus 99 percent that is a bunch of bonus stuff that politicians have come up with. People care about their income and that's what Donald deals with.
David Mercer: I don't know and it's yet to be seen. I will say I don't think there's anything dirty going after the American Dream or making money. If you compare Donald trump to Mitt Romney, it wasn't that both were either millionaires or billionaires, it's what Mitt Romney did. He said that he was for creating jobs but we also found in his record shipping jobs overseas. That is what the point is. It's not begrudging anybody for the money they may make or pursuing the American Dream. So I think, you know, it's yet to be seen whether those poll numbers for Donald will hold up and the reason for it. But I'll ask anybody here and now, do we remember or know where Michele Bachmann is, who won the 2011 Iowa straw poll. We don't know where she is now.
Suzy Welch: He says I'm not one of you. I'm very rich, and he loves himself and his money. What bothers Mitt Romney, I ironed my clothes on the kitchen table. Sound phony. Donald sounds authentic. The other piece is autonomy; he can't be bought and sold. He says I'm rich, money's okay, he earned it or whatever, but it's about saying nobody owns me, nobody can buy me, nobody can sell me. I only have to answer to myself. That is the part of the message that's resonating.
Gary B. Smith: Look, the point that Dagen made and I think Suzy put to eloquently is that Donald Trump, like him, love him, loathe him, whatever, he embraces his wealth. I think that's a good thing. I think that's what the American public is finally looking for. They're looking for someone to say, hey, you know what? It's okay to go out there and earn a lot of money. It's okay to be wealthy. It's okay to work your you know what off and be a billionaire. Good for Donald Trump for embracing that. I think it sends a very strong signal to the American public that, you know what, it's okay to have nice things, and it's okay to work hard in order to achieve things. That's where I think maybe part of Mitt Romney's mistake was. He didn't embrace his success. And he was a very successful businessman.
Jonas Max Ferris: There can be too much of a good thing. The royalty of France embraced their wealth. The czars embraced their wealth. There's a responsibility to be the billionaire with taking it down a notch with the public because that's how you lead to rising socialism. I would say the Bernie Sanders poll numbers are going up in proportion to Trump because although many Americans like wealth and think it's a success, many others are like that's a guy that needs to be taxed more on his boats and jets so I don't have to pay for "x." It can be a balancing act. I think we've seen too much of with Donald Trump. Maybe there was too little with Mitt Romney but Mike, if we "Mad Mike" Bloomberg, I don't think we'd be showing off and showing how rich you are. It can backfire and lead to a swing back where you get even crazier socialist policies.
Majority of Americans Do Not Support Iran Deal
Suzy Welch: I think 58 percent of the American people think we should kill the deal, be, I think the administration loves this deal. I think they're not trying to hedge their bet, they don't have buyer's remorse. They believe this is the best deal nape think it's a Nobel peace prize-worthy deal. They strongly support it. They come from a place totally different ideological mindset. They believe America is one of many nations and we have to play with other nations in a certain way where we accommodate a nation like Iran. They don't believe as the opponents do that America is special and bigger and different and has the ability and the power to close down Iran. So I think they love this deal. They're accidentally making the case against it. They're not trying to.
John Layfield: Yeah, and they'll are have the money to do that. Suzy is right. This is an ideological bent if they think some deal is better than no deal. 1969, sanctions start. It took decades to get to the point to get Iran to the table. They're going to allow an influx of $150 billion, we'll lift the embargo where they can buy weapons and ballistic missiles. In 15 years they'll be one of the richest countries in the world. They're going to have a well-funded army, a great infrastructure. Right now they have lost the confidence of their own people. And we are going to allow that to happen. Then they can get a nuclear weapon. This is a no-lose deal for Iran, a complete lose deal for the United States and our allies.
David Mercer: I would vote for it and I would alongside the majority of Jewish Americans that support the deal in contrast to the poll that you mentioned earlier. And with regard to, you know, the overall at least echoing of sentiment in opposition to this deal, you know, I just go back to history again. You know, we can negotiate with China and have Nixon go to China during the Cold War or we can have arms for hostages deal that Reagan swore off, but we found out he did. But we can't bring stability with the nuclear arms that Iran is starting or wants to achieve and put that to rest and stabilize the region. It was the Iraq war that destabilized the region and made it more of a haven for jihadists in Syria and Iraq.
Jonas Max Feris: It's easy to criticize this deal because there's no good solution with Iran any more than there's a good one with North Korea or Russia or Cuba. Sanctions do not lead to regime change. We saw that in Cuba.
Lisa Boothe: Couple points. One, most Jewish Americans support it because most Jewish Americans identify more with the Democratic Party than they do with Israel. That's point one. Two, I disagree with Suzy. I think the administration is either dumb or they're the most undisciplined administration out there because when they were talking about ObamaCare, never was heard a negative word. Here, I think they are trying to hedge their bets.
Airline Starts Weighing Passengers for 'Flight Safety'
Jonas Max Ferris: I think it's fair. It's going to happen flat rate, it's communism. A few weeks ago I got a battery mailed in the mail by U.S. flat rate. How do they pay $3 for a whole heavy battery? They took advantage of flat rate's pricing. UPS would not have charged that little because they charge by weight and size, which is how you ship stuff. The airlines are in the live animal shipping business, which happens to be people. Your babies, your stuff, your bags. Plus or minus based on your weight. This thing with the bags when they charge extra.
Suzy Welch: I thought Jonas would surprise me and he did. School doesn't charge you by how stupid or smart your child is. These planes are many, many times -- over time it's a wash about who's on them, targeting people, it's a revenue stream. Another way for airlines to make money by charging you for your bags. Frankly we don't need to debate it that long. This will go into twitter-sphere and the hate storm will humiliate some poor child with diabetes who's overweight and made fun of in the passenger lounge and it will all be over.
John Layfield: Of course Jonas -- if he lost any weight you'd have to file a missing persons report he's so skinny. He weighs 110 pounds. This will never work. You going to hire a Kentucky Derby jockey for your company to save matchup? The first woman that steps on this is going to punch somebody.
Gary B. Smith: I don't think it's horrible at all. If they want you to quack like a duck when you get in a line they should do that. It's a private enterprise. I think it's horrible I have to wait in Starbucks for 20 minutes while the other people ahead of me order complicated drinks. They're allowed to do what they want
David Mercer: Oil prices are down; they're making a boatload of money, the air marshals. To tack on a fee like this I think will not work and there will be an outrage. It's not going to happen.

Retro Reviews: Watcher In The Woods (1981)
A retro Disney movie, classified as a British/American horror film, Watcher in The Woods (1981) targeted its appeal to the teenage and young adult viewer. Directed by John Hough, it was adapted from a novel by the same name by Florence Engel Randall.Loud screeching, stabbing music (reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho) wastes precious little time letting us know this film is designed to scare you and compel you to keep watching. Immediately the viewer becomes privy to this little world of mysterious happenings and diverse clues. Centred around a huge English style manor and the surrounding forest area we soon see that things are just not going swimmingly for this unsuspecting family of four. Watcher in the Woods (1981) was actually filmed in the Buckinghamshire area in England.
The main character, Jan Curtis, played by Lynn-Holly Johnson seems to be singled out at the onset of action. We (and she) become immediately aware that something in the woods is "out to get her" and her little sister. Then as the movie continues, the pervading element of danger is omnipresent.
When #Disney scared us, the films they'd rather forget: https://t.co/xwjgfg96QB pic.twitter.com/k0yP093fpg
— Nerdist (@nerdist) September 3, 2017
Remaining stellar cast members include Bette Davis as Mrs. Aylwood, Caroll Baker as Helen Curtis, David McCallum as Paul Curtis, and Kyle Richards as Ellie Curtis. Other notable players are Ian Bannen as John Keller, Frances Cuka as Mary Fleming and Richard Pasco as Tom Colley.
The plot is simple and plays out smoothly: Helen and Paul Curtis are Americans who move into the impressive old mansion with their two daughters. Soon however, strange events make them wonder just what is going on in the house and the surrounding isolated forest that seems to be effecting the girls. Add to this the superb performing presence of Mrs. Aylwood enhancing every scene she graces with her initial "creepy" demeanour and we become caught in the web of suspense and horror. Then when we discover that the seemingly "unfriendly" Mrs. Aylwood will remain living in the guest house where she has been living for many years and will not be leaving when the new family move in, an ominous situation is laid. In addition, Mrs Aylwood immediately notices that her new tenant Jan Curtis bears an uncanny and unsettling resemblance to her own daughter "Karen", who went missing thirty years ago.

— THE MILKSHAKE BOOM (@Milkshake_Boom) March 8, 2015
In suspenseful bits and drabs we find out that there was a horrifying occasion that occurred all those years ago in an abandoned and eery chapel in the woods. Eventually we also meet the three burdened characters involved in that tragic, supernatural event. We discover that event took place when they were all teenagers. The journey to the climactic ending is what makes the movie remain effectively mysterious and thrilling today.
An odd fact about "Watcher" is that there was so many endings proposed before the one they finally decided to use. In 1980 the film had production problems, so was removed from theatres and subsequently alternative endings were commissioned to the Disney writers. And on top of this in-house effort, several science-fiction writers were also brought in to independently create a suitable ending but astoundingly- not one of these re-writes were used. Harrison Ellenshaw, the film's visual effects man, said that there were "roughly 152" alternate endings offered. And it was he who finally wrote the ending that was ultimately incorporated into the re-release of the film in 1981.
Personally, I thought Watcher in the Woods (1981) had a satisfactory ending, (which I will not spoil for those who have not yet seen the film)- albeit a little ambiguous.It did leave the viewer needing and wanting more, however. The multiple-ending attempt remains to this day interesting information that will forever enhance the history of this now somewhat, iconic, film.
Watch the Trailer below for Watcher in the Woods (1981)
I'm giving Watcher in the Woods (1981) a 6.5/10 rating because despite its weak points, it enwraps the viewer in its spell and has some genuinely suspenseful and disturbing moments. So much so, that I worry it could have a fear factor a little too intense for very young children. As Disney's first attempt at a seriously spooky production, I believe it does make the cut.
Mesmerizing moments, good acting and a mystery I really did find fascinating, carried me along right to the ending- which I again admit could have been better. So much more could have been done to present "the Watcher" to us. Still, Watcher in the Woods (1981) is a great family movie to watch with older kids when you're looking for a scary time, especially at Halloween.
Postscript: The release of the new "Watcher in the Woods" is scheduled for this October 21/2017 and is starring Angelica Houston.

Yes, I have been away for a while, travel mostly, but also letting ideas germinate. I have always been aware that travel starts at home so why shouldn't travel photography? When getting ready to visit a new destination, I read as much as I can about it. Websites, blogs, articels and books all add to my understanding of a place. Ideas of what I might expect should already be tucked up inside my head for exploring visually when I arrive at my destination. I want to be closer to the experience right from the start. Practice at home!
Photographing as much as I can from day to day when I am home is important for me on many levels. While exploring areas closer to home help me stay in tune with the nature and have allowed me to develop a stronger sense of place. Not only do I get to watch the seasons of light change around my area but I get a better understanding of what the nature of my area does through the seasons I find just using the camera and lenses from day to day keep me in practice so when I venture out a to more exotic locals my eye and technique will be ready for capturing compelling images to bring back home.
This white-tailed deer buck was photographed visiting my back yard. I try out new gear in my yard quite frequently and practice with lenses I may have put aside for a while. I have developed a pretty good local territory around town and the surrounding area. Over time I have figured out what areas are good for different wildlife and where to look for dramatic light. Local parks, and state lands are some of my favorite haunts. Getting around has helped me learn what hikes and drives might provide better opportunities for photography. Yet there are always pleasant surprises to be discovered.
What it comes down to; the more I look through the lens, the more I see to photograph whether an animals, their behavior or the way light paints itself across the subject. Watching and learning I find it difficult to get bored of nature .
