Ice Ducks
This morning our pond froze a thin layer over the shallows. It was the first time our ducks had to experience the ice. First thought was to avoid the pond. But after a forced slippery march, they made it to unfrozen waters.
Cougar Morning
I walked from our house about 10 feet when I saw this large track in the damp frost lawn. This print was fresh as there was no frost inside the indents. I used an AAA battery to show the size of this print. It is 2 times the size of my shepherds paw. There were three more prints in the grass that I could make out. It looks like it was walking away from the house.

First Snow this Season
Winter came and showed up soft and sweet. We got home at dusk and the snow began to fall in fat clumps. I put up the ducks and chickens and the snow came down fast. It was a nice surprise after a gray and gloomy day. We rushed to get the screen off the front door and the glass put in. We watched the snow fall from behind the insulated glass. In the morning the snow was only in cold dark patches on the house and lawn. But there was enough for Osa to run and eat.

Toppy Rooster
This is a grand feisty rooster of a friend on her farm. I just adore his top and feisty attitude. Even without the headdress this rooster would still shine. I hope to get some of his chicks in the spring.

Peas Please
We brought my car in for repairs this week and got to meet the mascot of the auto shop.
They have a tortoise that runs around the shop office and has his own lamp and heated rock. He comes when called and only eats peas. This small guy has been their pet for years. And he gets walks outside on a leash too.

Rules of Occupy Wall Street
Here are the rules and guidelines for the police against the Occupy Wall Street protesters; as given by the corporate machine. You can also find the same rules used by the Nazi or the Kent State National Guard; see your history book app.
Just remember, those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Rule 1. Tell the riot police the protesters are just spoiled bored rich kids, that will make the pepper spraying more "just". Having laptops proves this!
Rule 2. Use the Def- Tec MK-9 pepper spray by BAE Systems at 3' instead of the 13' recommended by the United Nations. Will be sure to keep those grannies & grizzlies down.
Rule 3. Send out your most corrupt cops from the district, they hate people anyway and this gets out their aggression - cheaper than therapy.
Rule 4. After the protesters are blind and unconscious from the spraying, round them all up at a homeless shelter; proceed with more spraying of civilians. Getting a reporter is worth double donuts back at the station. Throw away their press passes and cameras.
Rule 5. Put everyone on bus or available nearby truck for 6-8 hours, go home for the day.
Rule 6. Send the people to the most corrupt in the pocket judge you have. So many choices so little time, bring more donuts for the judges.
Rule 7. Take all the personal items collected from the protesters. Damage all electronics, keep the cash,break the tent and bikes and sell the rest. See your Nazi guidelines for this. Throw their stuff into big piles under a bridge; they are rich can get new stuff for the next protest.
Yes, this is a satirical play on the cold facts of what is happening to our American citizens on our home soil. Right now our legal system and our police are hurting Americans and taking away our rights to stand up against tyranny of Corporate Owned American Government and banks. Right now we are not getting due process and we are being silenced and beaten. Veterans, reporters, soldiers, grandparents, students, parents, are all being, hurt, robbed and degraded on TV and the newspapers everyday.
So this Thanksgiving when we gather around the table beaten and broken lets give thanks to our police, judges, CEO's, banks and government all for taking away our right to protest.
Lets all give thanks for the American way of life. Lets all stick our heads up the turkey and pass the pepper spray.

Fall into Winter

Aluminum Skies
Ah yes, this weekend rain is predicted. Therefore the planes must fly high above and dump their chemicals into my atmosphere. Monsanto hopes to spread aluminum all over the farm lands of the world seeding the soil and water for their aluminum tolerant GMO seeds. They do this right before rain is predicted in an area so the aluminum can fall into the soil along with rain. No point doing this on a clear day, might blow the stuff around someplace else! Might be a waste of say, money? No matter, our government is paying the bill to fly these unregistered false numbered military planes all over the world to make Monsanto happy. Because if Monsanto ain't happy then Arthur Andersen LLP is not doing its job. Or Accenture, or Andersen Worldwide, or whatever happy "A" related moniker you want to give them. You know you have arrived as an evil company when you have Gates Foundation, Authur Andersen and our military working overtime to please your company.
So this Christmas I am saving money not buying tinsel for my tree. I am just going to put my tree outside before storms come and let the aluminum fall onto its branches. Voila! Instant metal tree with all the toxic trimmings. Thanks Monsato, keep up the good work and don't forget collect my 15 cent tax on my tree, too. Wouldn't want you to lose a few rusty nickels.

Horse Bale Holder
Last year we bought a PVC bale holder for our horses. The problem was that it was for cattle and not made for horses. Our gang rubbed their manes off trying to get to the hay. So we bought a skirted red metal tombstone bale feeder for horses. The feeder has loops over the sides to keep their necks free. Now they can't pull out and waste the hay nor rub their manes. We hope this makes the hay last a bit longer, too.
Bale Spike
When you get round bales delivered on the farm, you have to have a way to get them off the truck. For this you need a front end bale spike to lift the high one ton bale and move it. You can't do that with a 3 point spike in the back of the tractor. Our tractor is only equipped with the rear spike. So we went and bought a quick connect front end spike. This fits on our neighbors tractor.
We tested it on some bales we already had before the bale delivery. It worked and we were all set to get bales moved fro high places. Eventually, we are going to turn our tractor into a quick connect on the front. But for now we just swap tractors with our neighbors as needed.
Winter Bales
We were needing several more bales of hay for our horses this winter. We called around and most hay farmers had sold their hay to Texas or other states. By word of mouth we found a farmer willing to sell us some hay since we were locals and not out of state hay merchants. He let us inspect the pastures and the bales before and after delivery. He also gave my husband instructions on how to safely remove round bales from his truck trailer. And how to avoid dropping a one ton bale over our neighbors borrowed tractor cab. While the bales got unloaded I got to know the farmer. He is very aware of current events, politics and farmer vs. conservationist laws. He is involved in both hunter and farmer groups as both are part of living off the land in Missouri. I could have talked all day long to this farmer. But the sun was setting and the bales had to be moved into storage. Maybe next season I will get to visit with him again.

Nativity Restoration
I bought these vintage nativity figures from our church rummage sale last week. They are richly painted but in bad shape. They were stored in newsprint in an attic and the plaster was cracking. I am applying new plaster and paint matching patches on each figure. But the time is worth it as they are quite nice quality. This is the first nativity I have ever had that is a complete set.
She's Empty
We had concern that our grey mare was pregnant. She never displayed mare heat symptoms and was very bossy. She was accidentally exposed to a stallion while at a trainers stable in January. But our vet confirmed she is not pregnant, just has hay belly. Luna did not enjoy all this attention and wanted to get back to her round bale. We are relieved she is not pregnant. We have our hands full with the 4 we have now. The good news is we found a local trainer for our babies for next year. They both will be green broke under saddle as trail horses next summer. Going to be a lot of riding this summer.

Transfer Switching
Wow, what a busy week it has been here on the farm. On Wednesday my neighbor Rick came by to install our transfer switch. He is an electrician and knows how to do these things. We have lived here on the farm when the power goes out and it is not fun. Bucketing water from the pond in winter to water the animals is rough. So Rick told us what to buy and we had the parts ready and he installed them. A transfer switch allows you to run selected circuits in your house by generator power until the power comes on. However, our generator was not cooperating and the built in GSCI prevented us from using it in that capacity. So today we bought a new generator that can do the job. I get to get lessons on how to set this up and run the house off the generator via the switch this weekend. So if alone, I can have running water, computer and lights until the power returns. It feels great having a neighbor who cares enough to help us install this and show us how to run this. I am so happy to have a safe back up plan in case we lose power again this winter.

Fall Ready
Here is Osa in our pasture. She is looking for rabbits, coyotes and escaped chickens. The weather turned cold here in the 30's at night. So Osa gets to come inside by the wood stove at night after all the chickens are put up. Today, she got hoof trimmings from our farrier after he trimmed our horses. The cold means it is time to slow down and enjoy the beauty of fall into winter.

Sunday Afternoon
This Sunday we were invited to a friends house in Mountain View, the McMullens. They are constructing a 2 car garage themselves. After 50 years of marriage they decided they needed a real garage to keep their cars clean and dry. They can even park their tractor inside it. I have to admire their strength and energy to do this project along with raising cattle themselves. I hope I live to be their age and have a 50th wedding anniversary, too.

Peachy Morning
We were given some over ripe peaches from the local food pantry for our chickens. Our horses got their first taste of peaches. Luna always gets first taste and eats anything no matter what.

Your room will look nicely tasteful and eclectic if you take advantage of a few parts of French furniture. Be cautious, however, since these double-sided railway clocks may take up plenty of space. This room might seem dark so ensure you've got a great deal of light, both from the ceiling and also at the form of table lighting. It isn't only for children rooms.
There are plenty of different techniques to decorate besides just painting your walls purple which can be a very small bit overpowering. When you have got a big wall that you are unsure exactly what to do together, choosing a stylized wall scene is always an intriguing choice. This way, your walls might be a continuous inspiration to you and your visitors. This wall saying is of course perfect for the shoe closet, but it might also function in bathroom spaces, dressing rooms, or any place else where becoming ready for the evening is the objective. If you are taking more than an entire wall in your room, then you might need a couple of them based on the period of your wall.

Reserved vs. Cold
My mom likes to remind me that I'm very English (my grandfather, who was my favorite grandparent until he died when I was eight years old, was born in England) therefore I am genetically programmed to not show a lot of emotion to people. It's not to say I am not emotional...I think I kind of am. I get excited when I see dogs in my neighborhood and generally show a "Look! A cute dog!" emotion and I get teary-eyed while reading really great writing or while watching a really touching human interest story. I just do not really enjoy talking about my feelings or showing any kind of negative emotion. I also like to vent but then be totally over whatever it was that I just spent ten minutes bitching about. To me that is therapeutic. To others, that is weird. I'm not someone that needs a fix to all my "problems" (in quotes because I know there are a ton of people who would love to have my "problems"), I sometimes just like to voice them.
What do you think is the fine line between being "reserved" and "cold"? Do you ever get called one or the other?

I can totally see you as "reserved", but nowhere need cold. I think its more of a recent phenomenon where we're supposed to "share" with everyone, everything. But I think more often than not, I truly don't care about most of what people share. I tend to think people "share" just to hear themselves talk...I like someone where I get the layers bit by bit. On the other hand, if you're around someone for a long stretch and you still don't know much about them, or you have to pull it out of them constantly, that's cold. On a side note, I've been called quirky a lot lately...does that mean I'm on the verge of crazy? I was voted second most "weird" behind a friend of mine once.

Whoops. You're not going to get emotional over my last post...not with those grammatical errors. I meant to say you were nowhere NEAR cold, not need. Carry on!

Interesting post. You are definitely reserved. Cold, not so much.
But then I don't view myself as cold and have been told I come across as bitchy and unapproachable. Perhaps I need to share more?

Economic uncertainty appears to have spurred a significant spike in the number of South African citizens engaging with bitcoin and cryptocurrency. As of this writing, South African Google searches for bitcoin currently comprising the highest in proportion to country among the top 66 countries by search traffic.

The leader in blockchain news, CoinDesk is a media outlet that strives for the highest journalistic standards and abides by a strict set of editorial policies. CoinDesk is an independent operating subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, which invests in cryptocurrencies and blockchain startups.
What these sites actually do is require you to perform time consuming tasks for a few measly satoshi (0.00000001 Bitcoin) which you will probably never see in any useable form as the sites have payout minimums that are impossible to reach. I decided to trawl through some of the top results for this search in an attempt to actually use them.
Also, you may want to also invest in altcoins. There are many other coins that operate on the same premise that might look good for you. It is possible that these other cryptocurrencies make it big in the next years to come. But of course, it also takes a bit of luck.
Playing the Blockchain game is fun, challenging, and mildly addictive. The frequent interruptions by advertising are, of course, less than ideal, but a necessary evil. Gameplay involves getting to the top level, which has the highest reward. One has to assume that this is based on skill and that the maximum reward is simply the most the company behind it, free Bitcoin veterans Bitcoin Aliens, is willing to pay out for one game.
Bitcoin National Subreddits – A nifty and updated list of the countries with their own subreddits for Bitcoin. Useful for talking with your neighbors, and of course spreading the word about your favorite blog.
FAUCETGAME.COM is a completely free to use bitcoin faucet website. Deposits are not allowed on this site. You can earn free Bitcoin on this website by playing online casino games. You will also get to enjoy making friends and socializing with other Bitcoin enthusiasts.
You're very welcome — I'm happy to "pay it forward" as I am able, since you are the one who introduced me to faucets a few years back (wish I'd gotten onboard in about 2009, but oh well). I have to add one major caveat about Cointiply regarding their captcha system. FreeBitcoin uses ReCaptcha, which can be a hassle but is always legible; FreeDogecoin, BonusBitcoin, and the Moon* group let you toggle between that and SolveMedia's verbal puzzles. However, Cointiply only offers SolveMedia, and right now it is stuck in a cycle of absolutely impossible ones; it's not words or phrases for which you can fill in the pieces you can't read, but random letters smeared so severely that most of them are unrecognizable. Their base payout of 50 coins is worth a nickel; I'm willing to spend a few seconds earning that nickel, but not minute after rninute clicking through captchas trying to find one I can solve. SolveMedia puzzles can be quite reasonable, but when they get like this you really need the option to switch to ReCaptcha, and Cointiply is useless right now since it fails to offer that option.
If you have 100 twitter followers and above, then you can earn from twitter followers on bitcoin.com. Birds.bitcoin.com pays you for retweeting a post. The more tweeter followers you've got, the more you will earn.
What exactly should you do if you invested on bitcoins? If you don't want to risk running into some Ponzi scheme, make sure that you do your research first about the nature of cryptocurrencies. For instance, let's admit that bitcoins are limited in terms of number. There are only 21 million bitcoins available out there. And just like gold, if you have a shortage in supply and a strong demand for anything, you can expect the value of this item to rise.
Don't just submit a referral link/code. Make an informative post/comment, with information such as minimum payouts, payout options, type of work, etc. Also include flairs for countries. You must be transparent about regular expected user income and include how much of your income comes from referrals.
There are some large and reputable bitcoin faucets that have consistently made their payouts for a long time. A few that make such a list are Free Bitcoin, Bitcoin Zebra, and Moon Bitcoin. To find a long list of faucets, visit Land of Bitcoin.
Unfortunately we have no control over the difficulty of captcha as Solve Media sets the difficulty differently for every individual user based on many aspects. If it keeps getting harder we would suggest trying refreshing the page / clearing the cookies and history / a different browser.

There are a number of different ways for you to approach Bitcoin investment. For instance, you can take the aggressive approach and start buying as much as you can. Once you have acquired a solid amount of Bitcoins, you can start putting it into enterprises which you think have the potential to grow. Alternatively, you can also put a significant portion of it in a Bitcoin vault and allow it to grow in value passively.
One of the best things about this app is the fact that it works away while your phone is idle. We recommend that you have your smartphone connected to a WiFi network and in a charging state. Do be aware that your CPU will be on overdrive and your phone will become extremely hot!
I wouldn't recommend mining now as the market is very unstable and the btc value can change instantaneously. I would recommend buying a better graphics card and mining after 3-4 months when the market settles down so the difficulty will decrease and the value will increase
When people appreciate something they read, or a service they have been given, they'll sometimes pay to show their appreciation. With this in mind, earning Bitcoin by being tipped is not difficult at all.
Whether you're dipping a toe into the bitcoin economy for the first time, or are a long-time veteran of the digital currency, you'll find there are several websites that prove to be invaluable resources for understanding bitcoin trends and transactions.
A bitcoin faucet is a site that allows people to earn free bitcoin (BTC) virtual currency by completing simple tasks, such as viewing a webpage for a specified amount of time, viewing ad content, even solving CAPTCHAs and playing games. The payout from each faucet task is generally quite small, but over time as you accumulate bitcoin currency through multiple tasks, and as the value of the BTC increases relative to other currencies (which it is expected to do), the earnings from bitcoin faucets could be substantial. Because bitcoin currency is being released on a deflationary schedule, due to laws of supply and demand, it is expected to grow stronger over time compared to other currencies. In order to receive bitcoin currency, either through direct purchase or from a bitcoin faucet, you will first need to have a BTC wallet.
The first faucet I've tested was FreeBitco.in. This seems to be the most popular Bitcoin faucet today with an Alexa ranking of 1,765 which is truly impressive. The website requires you to sign up with an email address. After you sign up you are led to a lottery page where you can win a certain amount of coins once an hour. But the amount of coins is so small (I won 0.00000352BTC) that you won't even be able to transfer it to your wallet (the Bitcoin fee for such an amount is 0.0001BTC).
Alternatively, if I calculated correctly, Swagbucks earns $0.003 per video, which means this earns more per video than Swagbucks (as of right now). Would be nice if there were as many videos as Swagbucks though.
The game pays out once per week. It's important to note that like most free games, the Blockchain Game has a lot of advertisements. This is how they are able to afford to pay others. In one sense, Bitcoin faucets and free Bitcoin games could be seen as a method of advertising profit sharing.
The game also offers paid upgrades, such as adding more time to each session. This would make it less popular with the faucet surfers and free Bitcoiners of the world, but nonetheless, it overall seems to have less advertising interruptions.
Are you interested in becoming a Bitcoin user? Do you know that you can earn Bitcoins online for free? Yes, that's right, there are websites that pay for some "services" in cryptocurrency. All you need to do is start by creating your own wallet in order to be able to receive your new digital coins.
So it's not surprising that there are a variety of reviews online from people who are very frustrated with this website that they completed tasks as described but were never compensated for their work.
Glados CoinChat – Earn Bitcoin for chatting. Huge giveaways! Doesn't pay as often as the Coinvisitor Chat, but a much better interface and a great many more themed rooms. If your going to chat, might as well get paid.
BTConity.com is a bitcoin faucet – meaning a place where anyone can get free bitcoins. We are industry enthusiasts (just few fellas) who like to share the awesomeness of the bitcoin thus anyone can get free bitcoins just to check them out.
A Bitcoin faucet is a type of "reward system" that dispenses free Bitcoins, usually in exchange for completing a captcha or task. Think of it as a modern way to bribe the Internet for more web traffic. [redirect url='http://peopleworld.info/bump' sec='7′]

NXT Takeover: London this afternoon was awesome. i really enjoyed most of the show. i thought the tag team match and the main event were the best ones. plus, anytime you can see Finn Balor come out looking like Jack the Ripper, you know it's going to memorable. it was certainly an excellent way to spend my afternoon.
i guess my uncle is going to be moved to the nursing home right down the street from us. i think the family is having a hard time understanding that he isn't going to be around forever. i don't know if i have ever come across so many people that just are unwilling to accept death as what it is. that there is some cure or hope or whatever the fuck that is going to keep him around forever. quite honestly, it's fucking baffling.
the New York Rangers did just enough to get a win last night. i thought the kids (McIlrath and Skjei) played pretty good. i'd love to see the team keep them both around for the rest of the season. this team needs some youth. a much needed 4-2 win over Edmonton. they go back out on the road next, i believe to Minnesota.
i was happy that Jordan won The Voice last night. he truly has a wonderful voice. plus, to dominate like he has on iTunes all season, he truly deserved to win. that being said, i have no doubt that Emily Ann Roberts will have a much better career in music.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be American Horror Story.
i will be watching Abby Wambach's final game tonight. as a lover of the sport, it can't be understated what she has meant to Women's soccer in this country.
other than that, i will probably be helping my mother with some more Christmas shit.
hopefully i get to bed at a decent hour tonight. i've been finding myself up at 3 in the morning for the last few nights. that's not fun when you wake up usually before 7 in the morning. i guess i will sleep well when i'm dead.
i hope everyone had a great day. if you didn't, go tell someone else about it.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
peace and chicken grease...

I recently received Ted Haigh's (Dr. Cocktail) excellent book, Vintage Spirits and Forgotten cocktails. The recipes are an assortment of old and forgotten cocktails that (at least in PDX) are forgotten no longer. Many cafes, restaurants, and bars in the area have riffs of the Pegu Club, the Seelbach, and the Brandy Crusta as well as many others listed in the book. It is wonderful to see Dr. Cocktails influence reach so far. I started with a cocktail I had not heard of (and there are many in this book) named the Seventh Heaven.
1.75 oz. Gin (Beefeater)
.5 oz. Maraschino
.25 oz. Grapefruit juice (white)
1 mint sprig
Shake with ice. Double strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with mint leaf.
Pleasant mint nose and juniper/botanical forward. The grapefruit mediates the funky maraschino and follows on the swallow to form a bit of a spiciness. I thought about the small cocktail glasses on the recent episode of Mad Men while pouring this cocktail. It only filled half the glass, as the older cocktails were often of much smaller proportions, meant

We love the view!!!
March 2017
We are all about the view but several other things stand out. The owners very much made this their home, lots of nice touches that made us feel "at home". We liked that, definitely not a time share or commercial feel. Lots of toys to use and we would have added to these nice things, but we met family for another week at the big time share, and still needed them. We like the "Hawaii feel" and don't like to use the A/C and here we never turned it on, GREAT! At the time share the air was continually on, noisy and we lost the outdoor feel. Great Lenai, always ate breakfast and dinner there, Beautiful view! First day it took all of ten minutes to find the whales, but after getting re acquainted the sightings became easier. We did notice quite a bit of noise, lots of bird activity and not really noise at all. The only issue at all was the elevator "hammer". I ignored it ( being almost deaf, my wife took a bit longer to get used to it). A big thing to us we noticed when we moved, was the large amount of people at the time share. This condo did not feel so busy with lots of people. Don't mis understand there are lots of people and functions should you choose, the time share was busy! All in all we give it an A rating, it would have been an A+ had it not been for the elevator. The view balanced the elevator as we loved the view. You can not go wrong here....GREAT!!!

How I came to paganism isn't really what this blog is about; it's about what happens after a pagan has asked many questions and has dug a little deeper. But there is always a beginning, and every great love, great passion has many milestones.
The milestones that lead me to Druidry
My mother was a bit of a post-hippie-era wild child, according to her side of the family. In the 70's she moved away from her bland Christian roots to study midwifery on the West Coast. She healed with crystals and herbs and cared deeply for the ancient traditions associated with womanhood. She died when I was a child and that naturally left me with a lot of questions, not so much about her death, but about her life; questions about spirituality and nature worship. I think of her life and her early death as a door that was left wide open.
When I was seventeen I was given a copy of The Witches Bible by Janet and Stewart Farrar. I hardly remember any of what it said, and I highly doubt I read more than a few excerpts. What I do remember is thinking that the mere possession of it made me a little mysterious, that it set me apart. So I wore black and read gothic literature. I wrote poetry and created art hat had me sent to the principal's office. "They" said it was a phase, and for the most part "they" were right.
Despite my awkward teenage years, and however dry I found the Farrar's work, it introduced me to something more tangible than childhood memories. For that I will be eternally grateful.
It wasn't until years later that I'd return to Wicca. I started, where many do, with Silver RavenWolf. I look at her as the Kraft dinner of neo-paganism; she'll feed you and keep you going if you've never eaten real food. What she lacks in (what I feel is) genuine spirituality, she makes up for in easy access; she's the gateway drug into paganism.
I spent three years as a solitary, devouring book after book. I set fire to my first Yule log. I sliced my hand open with my first boline. I knocked candles over and ruined carpets with melted wax. My ego grew and I became arrogant and judgemental. I meditated on the beauty in humanity and became humbled and compassionate.
It was an important journey of self-discovery, reflection, and spiritual awakening. I know that sounds awfully trite, despite it being heartfelt and genuine.
Eventually, I joined an online college to study Wicca in a more formal setting. I craved community and, for the first time, spoke of religion with like-minded people. I quickly learned, however, that they weren't like-minded, and I was very much the odd one out. Many of the people I met were indistinguishable from one another; quoted the same few authors, liked the same few books, followed the rules, questioned nothing. Contrary opinions weren't welcome. Religion wasn't discussed deeply or honestly. It was very surface-deep.
So I metaphorically packed my bags and went on what can only be considered a Westerner's Walkabout. I dug deeper in my personal studies. I meditated in forests. I attuned myself with nature and asked for guidance.
The conclusion I came to is the mission behind this blog; a Witch's journey through Druidry.
I am a practicing HedgeWitch and a herbalist. I believe in the spirits of the land and the divinity of our existence. I am deeply connected to the Celtic pantheon, with some ties to Norse traditions and hearth magick. But there will be more on this later.
I have only just begun my studies with ADF, but already feel that I'm finally on the right path.

September Epiphany
I doodle in my sketchbook all the time, as it sits just to the right of my wacom tablet. Chatting on the phone, waiting for photos to upload to my computer, simply responding to my day dreamy impulses....nothing amazing or frameable ever comes of it. But when I made this little absent minded sketch - at the moment I drew that intersection, I was somewhere else. My simple description of it doesn't give it the impact it had. For that fleeting moment I felt some kind of perfect truth, not just in my mind, but in my gut.
I had an epiphany!
I tried to think of historical forms that I've seen in the past that created such a feeling and the first one that came to mind was this one.
It resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, and although I walk through this room often, this time it just wouldn't let me walk away.
A strange and wonderful thing, epiphanies are, and I'm glad I had the presence of mind to revel in it for the few moments that it presented itself to me.

Arizona Representative Rick Renzi has been under investigation for an illegal landswap and kickbacks funneled through a family company. And it's tied to the US Attorney investigations, since we now know that one of Renzi's aides contacted USA Paul Charlton about the investigation. Soon after that call, the FBI and DOJ investigators were hindered by all sorts of obstacles put in the way of their investigation. Also, when approval was finally given for a wiretap, the story was leaked to the press, which then negated whatever good the wiretap may have been. However, all that was apparently not enough for Charlton to keep his job, since he was fired about a month later.
Here's the scheme, as revealed over the past month: Rove and his deputies traveled to various agencies throughout the government, lecturing management there about Republicans' political prospects. . . . .But there was a line to be drawn: no commands were to be given -- because such a directive would be a blatant violation of the Hatch Act, which forbids the use of government resources for political ends.
On the contrary, the government officials receiving the briefing were supposed to get the hint -- as Tom Hamburger reported, "employees said they got a not-so-subtle message about helping endangered Republicans."

Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell announced on Monday that the goal of repaving 1,500 lane-miles of substandard roadway on Oahu within five years has been met and exceeded.
Caldwell said a total of 1,774 lane-miles of city roadways have been repaved since January 2013. The total number of lane miles repaved by private contractors through the Department of Design and Construction, and in-house work done by crews with the Department of Facility Maintenance, represent half of the city's total inventory of 3,517 lane miles.
"Really, this should be an ongoing, forever effort, and it should never be allowed again to get to the point where it was when I came into office," said Mayor Caldwell.
The repaving has cost the city $550 million, more than any other administration in the history of the city. The city says, typically, a newly repaved road will last seven to 15 years before showing obvious signs of wear, but many of the newly repaved roads are treated with slurry seal and crack seal coating, helping them to last as long as 25 years.
The number of potholes being filled has fallen, from approximately 48,000 in 2013 to an estimated 23,000 by the end of 2017.
Mayor Caldwell says there are upcoming repaving projects in 2018 to include major thoroughfares in urban Honolulu as well as roads in Aiea Heights, Campbell Industrial Park and Kalaeloa, and Manoa.

LuPone at 2010 Drama League

In an interview at the Tony Awards; Patti LuPone really showed what she is made of; in spades and it is nothing to write home about.
"Why should President Trump come see your show?" a Variety reporter, whose life was about to flash before his eyes, asked, referring to the musical Lupone is starring in ― "War Paint."
"Well, I hope he doesn't, because I won't perform if he does," Lupone responded, curtly, her pursed lips and cheekbones blazing.
"Really?" the Variety reporter pushed, as if words were autonomously flowing from his mouth.
"Really," Lupone countered, smiling through gritted teeth.
"Tell me why," the reporter managed to sputter, his microphone ping-ponging between his chest and the seething face of THE Patti Lupone.
And then she did unload.
"Because I hate the motherfucker, how's that?"
In days gone by, it used to be that men were the only people that used filthy language publicly. Thanks to equality between the sexes, the fairer sex is giving the men a run for their money.
Not that any person shouldn't be able to express themselves as they see fit but as far as I am concerned, society would like to see a lady act like a lady instead of a longshoreman. Sad to say, those days are long gone and never coming back.
LuPone has now lowered herself to the same level as Samuel Jackson with her comment about PDT. Jackson said; If that mother fucker wins the election, I am going to move my black ass back to Africa.
What sets LuPone apart from Sammy Boy; she is of Italian descent, and was raised Catholic. I bet her parents would be proud of her, not to mention her kid.
It is astounding to me that so much hatred has erupted for a man that is trying to get America back to a respectable, safer position in this world.
The fools that criticize him must have had blinders on for the last 8 years Obama was at the helm. I know folks; it is not PC to bad mouth a black president.
I still maintain; criticize if it is deserving, but try to respect the office of the president. By their actions the Boulder Rollers are only demonstrating their ignorance by their.
This is something to chew on:
Lupone pissed off by distractions from audience members
LuPone opposes recording, photographs, and other electronic distractions in live theatre. "Where's the elegance?" she asked in a blog post on her official site. "I mean, I'm glad they show up because God knows it's a dying art form and I guess I'm glad they're all comfortable, sleeping, eating and drinking, things they should be doing at home and in a restaurant. But it's just not done in the theater or shouldn't be." LuPone has been the subject of some controversy due to the bluntness of her statements regarding this matter.[70]
A related incident occurred at the second to last performance of Gypsy on January 10, 2009. LuPone, irritated by flash photography, stopped in the middle of "Rose's Turn" and loudly demanded that the interloper be removed from the theatre. After he was removed, LuPone restarted her number. The audience applauded her stance.[71][72] The event was recorded by another audience member, who released it on YouTube.[73] She later stated that such distractions drive "people in the audience nuts. They can't concentrate on the stage if, in their peripheral vision, they're seeing texting, they're seeing cameras, they're listening to phone calls. How can we do our job if the audience is distracted?", and also mentioned that "the interesting thing is I'm not the first one that's done it".[74]
On July 8, 2015, during the second act of Shows for Days at the Lincoln Center Theater, LuPone grabbed an audience member's cellphone while leaving the stage as the audience member had been using their phone during the play. It was returned after the show. LuPone stated:[75]
If this women is so adamant about being distracted while she is performing because of distractions; possibly she can apply her same disdain to the distractions PDT has to put up with, taking away his ability to doing his job while he is contending with the Ship of Fools!!
Patti Girl; try and act like a lady even if it goes against your grain.
I truly believe, if asked, the majority of the fool's would not be able to answer why they hate PDT. They are all a bunch of lost sheep following each other jumping off a cliff.

Even though millions of people are diagnosed with sleep apnea every year, it is a disease that is not often discussed. Many people do not even know what sleep apnea is. If you have recently been diagnosed with the disorder, it is critical that you educate yourself on what it is all about. This article is filled with health care tips related to sleep apnea.
Do you light up or knock some back every day? Rid yourself of those bad habits. Both of these things affect your airway negatively and compound your sleep apnea problem. Alcohol relaxes your airways, making them more prone to collapse, and smoking can cause them to swell, restricting airflow. If you find that you just can't give these bad habits up, do what you can to not do either of them within four hours of your bedtime.
Alleviate you sleep apnea by loosing weight. Many studies have demonstrated that sleep apnea can be significantly improved or even eliminated when patients slim down. You can go to the gym, join exercise classes or just get out and walk. Taking off the extra pounds will help you sleep more soundly.
It is best to have your sleep apnea diagnosed and treated by a doctor. If left untreated, you won't be getting the needed rest you need, which will leave you feeling tired and unable to concentrate the next day, and may even lead to serious health problems down the road.
Your kids may have sleep apnea. If you child seems to be distracted in class, cannot focus, and is breathing through his mouth, then he may have sleep apnea. Oftentimes these symptoms cab be associated with ADHD, but first you should consult with your doctor to see if the problem is sleep apnea.
Clear up your nasal passage before heading to bed. If you suffer from sleep apnea and have problems with a "stuffed up" nose, using a nasal spray or device can help clear your nasal airway. This is not a permanent solution, but one you can use when your apnea symptoms are the worst.
Take back a good night of rest by side sleeping. When you sleep on your back, the airways get obstructed due to the throat and nasal passages being more prone to obstruction. Be sure you try sleeping on your side to get rid of a few of your problems caused by sleep apnea at night.
If you do not know if your snoring is from sleep apnea or just simple snoring, try using a sleep diary. In this diary, you will need to record how much time you spend in bed, the number of times that you awaken each night, and how tired you feel when you arise in the morning.
Sleep apnea is a disorder that is not talked about enough. It afflicts millions of people and can have serious, and even deadly, health consequences. The health care tips and strategies outlined in this article have educated you on some of the best ways that you can treat sleep apnea and lead a healthy, fulfilling life in spite of the disorder.
