A magical and highly potent flashback to the first Skunk plants and their ancestors, to the time when Sativa elements were much more pronounced in the Skunk hybrids. The original Skunks were bred from Afghani, Mexican and Columbian cannabis plants. As more and more hybrids were developed, Afghani elements became stronger in most Skunk varieties. The Magician gives growers a taste of the OLD SCHOOL by crossing an Orange Skunk with the most famous plant in Cannabis history, the White Widow. The result is a heavy, pungent plant with long , solid buds, glistening with crystals. The smell and taste of The Magician is strong and fruity. Expect a happy high.
type: orange skunk x white widow indoor flowering: 50 -60 days indoor yield: 100 g height: 120 -160 cm buzz: a happy high taste / smell: strong and fruity taste
Fast Skunk could very well qualify as the best and easiest all round strain for outdoor cultivation, of all the strains of "de Sjamaan Feminized Seeds". By crossing Skunk and Early Pearl the best qualities from both varieties will be found in this Fast Skunk feminized. Due to the growing power of the Skunk and the outdoor hardiness of Early Pearl, this variety will be happy to grow in the garden, on your balcony or any outdoor location here it will receive direct sunlight. Fast Skunk is particularly interesting for growers that want a shorter growth cycle. The influence of its parent Early Pearl allows this Fast Skunk to finish Weeks earlier than its Skunk parent and makes it much more resistant to ould and fungus. She is potent, hardy and above all easy to grow. Sampling this Fast Skunk will carry you to new heights and mystical places.
type: skunk x early pearl flowering: optimal outdoor flowering outdoor flowering: october outdoor yield: up to 500 gr / m2 height: 200 -300 cm buzz: smooth high blends with warm skunk stone taste / smell: warm and sweet
Intense Skunk is a beautiful crossing between a superb Skunk variety and an old school Afghani Hash plant. Because of its dependability and overall high performance this strain is suitable for commercial as well as for specialist growers. She will always live up to the super potent promise she gives. Grown from seed, intense skunk is remarkably uniform, with plants showing consistent structure and regular buds every time. When given a little extra love and care, this strain can produce enormous crystal covered flowers indoors or in a greenhouse. Intense Skunk is probably the only cannabis strain that could very well require more experience to smoke than you would need to grow it.
type: skunk x afghani hash plant indoor flowering: 45 -50 days outdoor flowering: june -october indoor yield: Up to 125 gr / m2 height: 120 -150 cm buzz: asks more experience to smoke than to grow taste / smell: sweet and earthy
This lady is yet another exceptional cross with White Widow. By crossing White Widow with the Big Bud strain, Lemon Bud became a perfect strain for beginners as well as experienced growers . This strain will produce sturdy plants with strong branching. Seedlings can be put in pots when they are still quite small, with only a few pairs of leaves, and can be expected to finish around 1 to 1,5 mtr high. Lemon Bud will form silky floral clusters topped with long pistils, which will increase in mass exponentially towards the end of flowering. The look of these will please every Ganja lover. Lemon Bud will give a clear and fresh high and as far as taste is concerned, the name says it all
type: white widow x big bud indoor flowering: 45 -55 days indoor yield: 150 gr height: 100 -150 cm buzz: clear, fresh high taste / smell: it's all in the name
This is a high-potency, strong yield feminized strain of Afghani with a strong Purple influence. Lady Purple is easy to grow indoors, even for the beginner, but will also flourish outdoors in spring and summer in areas where the climate is moderate. This variety is bred from some of the best Cannabis plants the world knows. Her ancestors can be found in the legendary Indica cultivars of the Afghan Hindu Kush region, as well as the Californian Medical Marijuana scene and the top varieties from Holland. The Afghani ancestry are the source of Lady Purple's potency, fast flowering and sturdy consistency. A more distant ancestor is a much sought after Jamaican Sativa variety which makes her slightly taller and adds a lot of extra High to complement her Indica Body Stone. Crossing these ancestors with an incredible Dutch bred Hindu Kush and the US Purple Kush gives the Lady Purple her final look. The purple color is most prominent in her flowers, not just in the leaves. It is even not uncommon that Lady Purple finishes with green leaves that accentuate the lovely Dark purple violet buds. Buds of mature plants are solid and spiky, covering a large portion of stem and branches. Purple Lady's flowers are covered with sparkling resin crystals and smell of pine and sandalwood with a hint of sweetness.
type: afghani/hindu kush x US Purple Kush indoor flowering: 56 -70 outdoor flowering: end Sept, 1st week Okt. ourdoor yield: up to 300 gr height: 100 -170 buzz: strong high with body stone taste / smell: pine/sandalwood with a sweet undertone
This feminized Haze strain is a superb sample of top quality Haze, with all the characteristics you would expect from a predominantly Sativa strain. By the time that the flowering period ends, the top 50% of stems and branches are full of long flowers covered with sticky crystals. The Indica influence in Shamanic Haze is very subtle, giving it extra density and a very rich citrus Flavour.
type: X x Haze indoor flowering: 65-80 days indoor yield: up to 100g height: 150-180 cm buzz: intense mystical high taste / smell: rich citrus flavor
An amazing mix between Northern Lights and White Widow. The plants have a typical Indica growth pattern and the buds look as if they are sugar coated, rich in resin crystals. The sweetness of the White Widow gives a real strong, fruity undertone to this Shaman's High. The effect can only be described as a VERY strong stone, only for those who can handle her.
type: northern light x white widow indoor flowering: 55 -65 days indoor yield: 125 gr height: 90 -130 cm buzz: very strong stone taste / smell: fruity sweetness
This variety has proven itself for years already, as an excellent choice for first time growers. Also among connoisseurs it has gained a great reputation as a high quality strain for a reasonable price. Being available now as feminized White Skunk only makes this variety even more desirable. As most Skunk, the White Skunk is consistent, potent and very easy to grow. This strain has the strength and rapid flowering time for which the whole Skunk family is famous, but her longer and somewhat more open flower structure reflect her Sativa ancestors. This White Skunk has an improved taste and smell compared to the typical "Skunk smell". The large flowers are covered in resin crystals and have a rich scent reminiscent of a fine bitter-orange liqueur.
type: skunk x white widow indoor flowering: 50 -55 days indoor yield: 125 gr height: 120 -150 cm buzz: stoned, rather than high taste / smell: bitter-orange, like fine liqueur
Simply one of the best you can have. Her success is due to the enormous popularity with cannabis lovers around the world. The plants will give you beautiful thick buds covered with white crystals, as if it was covered with a thin layer of virgin snow. White Widow is the first choice of many commercial growers, and an ongoing hit in Holland's coffeshops type: mostly indica indoor flowering: 50-65 days indoor yield: up to 150g height: 110-150cm buzz: high with heavy body stone taste / smell: sweet and fruity
This Autoflowering strain is a beautiful plant that remains small and does not need a specific light cycle to come to bloom. Dwarf Ryder will grow from seed to harvest in under 10 weeks, indoor, outdoor, on your balcony or in the city park, anywhere you want to grow it, it will grow and flourish. When planted in spring Dwarf Ryder will give you steady growth and flowering up to early August. Even in regions as north as Canada, Sweden or Finland it will grow and produce similar yields. With its great natural high and fresh pine / citrus taste Dwarf Ryder is a variety worth trying.
type: northern light x ruderalis indoor flowering: 45 -60 days outdoor flowering: june -september indoor yield: 100 gr outdoor yield: 20 -30 gr / plant height: 50 -90 cm buzz: natural high taste / smell: pine / citrus
Crystal Ryder is truly a second generation Autoflowering strain. By Crossing the original Low Ryder with the Brazilian Hybrid Santa Maria, a variety was created that will grow slightly bigger than the Dwarf Ryder and will give a strong and exotic high with a taste that will remind you of tropical fruits. Growing Crystal Ryder is easy, and can be done anywhere you like, indoor, outdoor, on the balcony, whichever you prefer. You can harvest in under 10 weeks, without needing a separate room, or any specific light cycle.
type: low ryder 1 x santa maria indoor flowering: 42 -56 outdoor flowering: +/-9 weeks from seed to harvest indoor yield: 100 gr outdoor yield: 30 -60 gr / plant height: 40-80 cm buzz: strong and exotic high taste / smell: exotic fruit
The 2 most important characteristics for the Widow Ryder are her Autoflowering ability and the shiny resin crystals that will cover her flowers like a blanket of virgin snow. All autoflowering Cannabis starts flowering due to the age of the plant, not to a specific light cycle. This gives the Widow Ryder many big advantages for indoor as well as outdoor growing. Widow Ryder seeds produce plants that will start to flower when 6 to 9 sets of adult leaves have formed ( normally between 6-8 weeks in good growing conditions). Widow Ryder is not a real dwarf variety. You can expect the final height of the plants to be around 1 meter. When grown outside, Widow Ryder seeds can be started up in early spring to make sure that they will flower in June or July (when the weather is expected to be best) so they will be ready in early September. The buds will be covered with sticky resin and will give a sweet and spicy citrus aroma. You will experience a strong body stone that is softened by a breezy high.
type: Low Ryder x White Widow indoor flowering: 45 -50 days outdoor flowering: june -september indoor yield: 150 gr outdoor yield: 60 -80 gr / plant height: 90 -120 cm buzz: strong body stone softened by breezy high taste / smell: spicy sweetness with earthy citrus smell

California Visits No. 7 Stanford
Feb. 19, 2002

Download Free Acrobat Reader
WHATS ON TAP:The Golden Bears (5-4, 1-4) head out across the bay to face arch-rival and seventh-ranked Stanford (6-3) Friday night at 7:30 p.m. at the Burnham Pavilion. Cal looks to defeat its first Pac-10 opponent since the Bears topped Oregon State in the second week of the season.
THE WEEK THAT WAS: The biannual California Invitational featured four UC schools, including host Cal, No. 10 UCLA, UC Davis and UCSB. The Bruins won the meet hands down as they led from the get-go. The Bears' My-Lan Dodd won the all-around with a score of 39.075, defeating the second place gymnast, UCLA's Malia Jones (38.825), by a wide margin. The Bruins Jamie Dantzscher won the floor exercise with a perfect 10. Junior Janet McKnight won the vault as she collected a 9.825.
UNDERCLASSMEN RECORD CAREER HIGHS: Fielding a full team after struggling to do so at Arizona, the Bears had many gymnasts that came through to give Cal the highest score that it has received since Jan. 18, against Oregon State, when they notched a 193.250. Freshman Tara Capsuto, who has stepped up in the past three weeks, collected season and career-highs on every event she participated. On the bars, she eclipsed a previous personal best of 9.325, and earned a 9.725. On the beam, she recorded a 9.625 and on the vault, Capsuto was awarded a 9.575. Fellow freshman Adrienne Garcia scored 9.450 on the bars and in only her second attempt on the beam as a collegian, Garcia scored a 9.675.
VETERANS TURN IN SEASON-HIGHS: Junior Lisa Arnold earned personal-highs on the beam and the floor. Her 9.525 on the beam was also a career high. Junior Monique Johnson, who has done well on the floor this year, collected a season-high score of 9.800 on the floor last Sunday. Janet McKnight, who has been instrumental on the vault and bars, earned personal-highs all across the board. She tied a season-best on the vault (9.825) and a new season-high on bars (9.800). Her 9.800 on the floor was just .025 shy of her career-high.
SCOUTING STANFORD: The seventh-ranked Cardinal host the Bears after a second place finish in the Mardi Grass Madness Exhibition last weekend in Gainesville, as Stanford recorded a 195.700. Florida finished first, tallying a score of 196.900. The Card put together a season-high effort of 197.250 in a win against Arizona at Burnham Pavilion, Feb. 1, and followed, a couple of days later, with a score of 197.075 against Denver, which also ended with a Stanford win. Head coach Kristen Smyth, in her first year at Stanford, was a standout gymnast for the Golden Bears from 1989-92. She is still among the top five in four of five categories in Cal history (vault, first, bars, third, floor, fifth, all-around, fifth).

Yeah, it didn't even register with her. She was just like "Oh look, I'm a few feet away now. Cool." and kept right on rolling. Luckily it wasn't during her fear period (which I thought we skipped but she's just going through it a bit later than my friend's puppy did . . . the submissive peeing is getting VERY annoying!).
What fear stage are you talking about?? I havent gone through that yet! My puppy is scared of NOTHING! And when he gets a firm no he looks at me like yea right.... But he is getting much better with the listening thing!!

The dock continues to work very well (so far!).
Unfortunately today the Surface lost touch with its pen again. After trying two restarts and opening various control panels related to the pen, I had to give up and use the "spare" tablet I had brought with me.
3 hours later, I woke the Surface up and it found its pen immediately.
Has anyone found a reliable way to help the Surface to find its pen again when it loses touch with it? (The pen battery level is fine.) On other tablets, when they lose touch with their pen, I have found that switching back and forth between laptop and tablet mode helps. Maybe what I should try with the Surface is attaching the keyboard and detaching it again!

Warning: Getting on my SoapBox.
The following rant was prompted by an article on kid's birthday parties that I recently read.
Kid's birthday parties should cost under $50, actually they should cost under $25 but I'm feeling generous.
What is it with parents taking kids to places like; build-a-badger, laser tag, bowling alleys, gun clubs, fashion shows etc…Did they have such deprived childhood's that they have to live through their kid's? Are they guilty about something? Wusses who can't say no?
These are the same people you hear complain about never having enough money as they are heading to the mall in their leased cars to shop. Well, duh. Waah, waah waah, someone call the waahmbulance.
Party-bags?! Really? We just fed and entertained your sugared-up brats (sorry about all the sugar) for 3 hours and now we have to give out a party-bag! What's that you say? You gave my kid a gift? Well no kidding Sherlock, it's his birthday. But you know what? We don't really need any gifts; we have enough junk in our house already. But if you want a party-bag for your kid filled with dollar store crapolla, then fine, enjoy. I hope that in the middle of the night you step on some small plastic pieces while walking around barefoot.
So tell me what's the deal with inviting tons of kids? I hear of parents inviting their kid's entire school class so no one's feelings get hurt. Hey kid, you were not invited because my kid thinks you are a booger-eating-goober. Get over it, that's life. Thank God my kids are homeschooled. My kids get a party from ages 5 thru 10. And that's it. And they get to invite one friend for each year old they are.
Social media like; Facebook, Instagram and Vine just make matters worse. People post all their self-indulgent pictures and videos of events like birthday parties. They are just showing you a small slice of life. The good life, through a rose colored internet. They want you to think that everything is all peaches and cream. When underneath the peaches are rotting and cream is curdling. Guess what? You might be fooling others and even yourself for a while, but you ain't fooling us.
Gift registries for kid's birthdays, really? I'm speechless.
Some of the more outrageous themes in the article: ice sculptures, snow machine parties (for backyard sledding), karaoke bar, live animals, spa parties (yes at a spa). In that light hauling a bunch of kids to the bowling alley or Chucky E. Cheese is kinda quaint, still stupid, but quaint.
Be careful. You give your little girl a 5th birthday party that costs $500 and you are gonna have a helluva bill when the princess gets married. And you sure aren't doing your future son-in-law any favors.

It's hard to believe, but there are some people, even Christians, who actually think the world is flat. I've run into these people making comments on Facebook, and it's ridiculous.
They think the North Pole is the center of the earth, and Antarctica is a land mass circling the outer edge of the circle. There are tons of ways to show that this is false, but seeing the map they propose made me think of a simple way that they themselves can test the validity of their theory for themselves.
If the world looks as they propose, it would mean that to fly around the world in the Southern Hemisphere would be much farther than to fly around the world in the Northern Hemisphere. You can check flight times on travel sites. So, here is my comparison between flying around as far north as passenger planes usually travel, and as far south as planes usually travel.
London is 2669 miles from the North Pole.
The distance from London due south to the latitude of Johannesburg, South Africa (26° South) is 5339 miles.
That means if you went all the way around the world at the latitude of London, you would be going around in a circle with a radius of 2669 miles. The circumference of that circle is 2*pi*r, or 16,770 miles. (This is assuming a flat earth. That circumference would be a little bit different in reality since the earth is a sphere.)
If the earth is flat, that circle gets way bigger by the time you get to Johannesburg. Johannesburg is 5339 miles south of London, which means that on a flat earth, that circle would have a radius of approximately 8008 miles, and the circumference would be 50,315 miles.
The average speed of a 747 is 570 miles per hour. So, if the world were flat, it would take approximately 29 hours to fly around the world at the latitude of London. And, to fly around the world at the latitude of Johannesburg would require 88 hours.
However, taking flight times from real flights you can find for yourself online, here's what I found. To fly from Vancouver, Canada to London to Tokyo back to Vancouver takes 31 hours and 30 minutes. This corresponds nicely with what we figured with the average speed of a 747.
There are fewer people in the Southern Hemisphere, so there are fewer flights to choose from, but to fly from Sao Paolo, Brazil to Johannesburg to Sydney, Australia back to near the starting point in Santiago, Chile, doesn't take anywhere near 88 hours. It takes 35 hours and 25 minutes, which is exactly what you would expect if the earth were round.
Another simple way would be to look at the flight path of a plane traveling from Johannesburg to Sydney. On a flat earth map, the shortest route would go over India. But on a globe, the most direct route doesn't go anywhere near the equator. I will leave that for people to look up for themselves. I'm sure there are websites where you can check flight paths.

Please help me raise funds for Finnan's Gift at The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne.
Finnan's Gift was founded by Alisa and Oliver Camplin-Warner to honour their son Finnan who was diagnosed in-utero with congenital heart disease (CHD) and passed away at just 10 days old. The project aims to raise funds for cardiac care at The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne and awareness for CHD, which is the leading cause of death in young children in Australia.
I've joined Team Finnan's Gift and will take part in the Melbourne Marathon Festival to help raise the $200,000 needed for the 2018 Grant to the hospital. These funds will help support an Australia first Cardio-Oncology Initiative, which will help children with childhood cancer at risk of developing heart problems as a result of their chemotherapy treatment.

text: As a missionary digital illustrator with TWR MOTION (TWR's visual media ministry), I am convinced not only of the incredible effectiveness of visual media to take the gospel to places that would otherwise be nearly impossible to reach, but also of the clear calling God has placed on my life to be a part of this mission. As I continue working on an illustrated and animated Bible stories series that will be used to take the gospel to a 99.4% Muslim people group in North Africa, my excitement for this project and this mission only grow stronger. I am continually amazed at how God has provided such a perfect opportunity to use the talent and passion for illustration that He has placed within me, while partnering with you to make His name known throughout the nations! I sincerely thank you for your prayers and support!

Sunday, head over to your favorite sports bar to catch the Broncos game. Bloody Marys and football. Where's your favorite place to watch the game?
There are a few tickets left for the Denver Bacon & Beer Fest on December 9th. December 11th, get in the holiday spirit with some beer and Vacation. Christmas Vacation. At the Mayan. Presented by Imbibe Denver. Festivus is sold out, but there are probably some tickets floating around, and of course, stay tuned for a contest.

Marlaina Read
Marlaina is invested in making liminal spaces habitable through immersive, collaborative and meditative works and by examining the space where technology and the human intersect, through both assistance and negation. Through a variety of traditional and exploratory techniques, she creates photographs, installation and video that reference navigation, place marking, labour, ritual and output, grounded in ideas of collectivity and exchange. Using analogue and experimental processes and working in environments of solitude, she responds to specific conditions of that place.
She recently completed her MFA at the University of New South Wales and has exhibited in Australia, Finland, Spain, Iceland, Canada, USA, Germany, and the UK. She has been an artist in residence at NES, Iceland, Artscape Gibraltar Point, Toronto and Mustarinda, Finland. She is the editor and publisher of Invisible City Magazine.

What does SEO stand for? What does SEO mean?
What Does SEO Stand For?
Funny you should ask – just last night at our weekly trivia contest, "what does SEO stand for" showed up on the big screen and, I think, I was the only person in the room that got the question right. I suspect that me helping our Trivia guy with his website may have had something to do with it, but I didn't feel the need to bring that up. So, what does SEO stand for? The acronym stands for Search Engine Optimization and, as easy as that is, it underscores a critically important and complex profession. And that's usually the next question we here after we define what "SEO" stands for. What does SEO mean?
What does SEO mean?
SEO is the art of influencing a websites "rankability" according to the search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing and the others in such a way that the given website will appear higher in the Search Engine Results, or, as we geeks call it, the "SERPS" (Search Engine Results Page).
SEO is a fine are of technical knowledge, business knowledge, ability to research, an understanding of how thing change and how they stay the same, and finally, a lot of patience. There was a time when we could influence the rankings of a page practically overnight but those days are long gone now and we find ourselves instead often waiting months to get to Page 1 of the results. But that's OK – the new normal for SEO has thinned the herds as others find easier ways to make a living, leaving more opportunities for those of us that are still having fun and enjoy the challenge.
There are a few other terms that go along with SEO that you may bump into:
- SEM: Search Engine Marketing – basically, a larger part of the pie, if that makes sense. Whereas SEO is concerned primarily with a business's website and it's outreach and influence, SEM is concerned with more of an overall holistic marketing perspective to include things like social media and such.
- PPC: Pay Per Click – this is when a website owner pays Google to show up on the first page of the Google results. The catch here is that the more popular the search term they wish to show up for, the most each click costs them. And, they have to pay for each and every click whether they actually make any money from it or not. It's a numbers game. An attorney knows that for every 100 clicks he gets for his "Best Divorce Lawyer in Atlanta" keyword, he'll get 1 actual customer that pays. If each click costs him $5.00, then he's paid $500 to get that one customer which, for a lawyer, is a pretty good deal. It is not unusual to see PPC costs in the hundreds of dollars for extremely popular keywords
- SERP: Search Engine Results Page – this is the page you are shown after you run your search. Search for "Plastic Surgeon Atlanta" and you'll be shown a listing of 10 (by default) plastic surgeons that Google has determined have the best websites to match your search critiria
- On Page SEO: On Page SEO pertains to the efforts that go into making a website agreeable to Google in terms of how it is structured. Google expects to find certain elements in certain places and when it can't find them, it makes it more difficult to "crawl" that page. The more difficult a page is to crawl, the less it actually gets crawled and therefore, the less likely it will rank. Neil Patle produced a great infographic that explains the structure of a perfectly optimized page. See it here. We also go into it in great detail on our own SEO page here at SnugData.
- Off Page SEO: Off page SEO pertains to those things that a typical webmaster has little to no control over. The most common, and most important of these is "backlinks". Backlinks are when another site mentions something on your site and links to it. These are, for the most part, counted as votes for your site's popularity but unlike voting in the normal sense, it's important where these votes come from. A backlink from a popular and credible site carries more weight than a backlink from an unknown site. Many SEOs spend the majority of their time working to get backlinks from popular sites. Brian Dean, at Backlinko, wrote a lengthy and detailed article that goes into good detail on perfecting a site's "off page SEO" in ways that are agreeable with Google.
There are approximately 3, 546,881 more terms and acronyms that pertain to SEO overall, but I wanted to show you the ones that most closely relate to the actual type of marketing involved with SEO.
To get an idea of what goes into SEO, take a look at the following short video:
Cost Effective SEO
The last part of the conversation often hinges around how cost effective SEO is and how soon do clients recognize Return on Investment (ROI). The answer, as is so often the case, is "it depends". The factors surrounding SEO are many and varied and some businesses absolutely benefit from it while others do not. I've worked with clients who run businesses that are entirely successful on word-of-mouth alone and, as much as I hated to say it, there wasn't much I could do to improve their bottom line. This is not uncommon for the small 1 or 2 man show that has enough business to handle and, if I SEO'd their website and attracted more business, there's a very good chance it would be too much for them. These kinds of business, I offer free advice to but do not engage in any kind of SEO commitment.
But for the vast majority of other businesses, SEO – when implemented correctly – is entirely cost effective. There are no other marketing efforts a business can undertake that even comes close to matching the benefits SEO brings. It's not uncommon, and in fact I talk to clients about it on a regular basis, to expect 500% ROI in a matter of months. A company that invests $1000 monthly with me will see $5000 in revenue increase in a very short amount of time and this is not uncommon. I challenge anybody to find any other marketing that pays off that well.
I hope you enjoyed this article and found it helpful. The original intent was to answer the question "what does SEO stand for", but I went a bit further to provide additional information on what SEO actually is and how it can help a business attract new customers.
Thanks for reading!

Governor applauds lawmakers' intentions for special session
By Ed Sterling
AUSTIN — Gov. Greg Abbott, in the last 10 days of June, posted news releases pointing out specific lawmakers and their plans to file bills that fulfill his expectations for the 30-day special session, which he called to begin July 18.
Abbott said lawmakers first must pass a "sunset bill" to extend the life of the Texas Medical Board and then tackle a 19-item list of other issues in the monthlong session. Abbott's list is a pretty close match to a list of Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's priorities. Here are a few of those items:
- Legislation to reform property taxes, by Sen. Paul Bettencourt, R-Houston, and Rep. Dennis Bonnen, R-Angleton. "Skyrocketing property taxes in this state are unacceptable, and Texans need reform right now," Abbott said.

The Ancient Coin Collectors Guild has become a driving force in the ongoing effort to protect coin collectors and museums in which coins are stored from being forced to give up these items to foreign governments under the premise the coins are the cultural patrimony of the claimant nation. — Richard Giedroyc, World Coin News April 26, 2010
Press release from the American Institute of Archaeology (AIA) announcing the signing of HR 1047
Date: December 7, 2004
President Bush has signed into law the "Emergency Protection for Iraqi Cultural Antiquities Act of 2004." This grants to the President the authority to impose import restrictions on any cultural materials illegally removed from Iraq, continuing a restriction on the import of such materials that has been in place since August 1990.
With this legislation the President may exercise his authority under the Cultural Property Implementation Act (CPIA), the U.S.'s legislation implementing the 1970 UNESCO Convention, without the need for Iraq to bring a request to the U.S. for import restrictions. The legislation also defines the materials that may be protected more broadly than the CPIA normally does and includes all materials of "archaeological, historical, cultural, rare scientific or religious importance". Senator Charles Grassley originally introduced this legislation in June 2003 in reaction to the looting of the Iraq Museum in Baghdad and the subsequent and ongoing massive pillage of archaeological sites, primarily of the Sumerian period, throughout southern Iraq. The legislation tracks United Nations Security Council Resolution 1483, which requires all members of the United Nations to prevent trade in cultural materials illegally removed from museums and other locations in Iraq.
In Senator Grassley's introduction to the bill, he stated: "I believe it is very important that we in Congress remain mindful of the need to take steps to protect Iraq's cultural heritage. Our bill will ensure that going forward we continue to adhere to the full spirit of Resolution 1483 and avoid any break in the protections afforded to Iraqi antiquities. Our bill also provides an important signal of our commitment to preserving Iraq's resources for the benefit of the Iraqi people."
Passage of this legislation was actively supported by many archaeological organizations including the Archaeological Institute of America, The American Academic Research Institute in Iraq (TAARII) (formerly American Association for Research in Baghdad), the American Schools of Oriental Research, the Society for American Archaeology, the American Anthropological Association and the College Art Association.

Wander off the path just slightly from Capital Crescent Trail near Jack's Boat House into a creepy tunnel underpass to find this spot.
New Murals at 14th & P St. NW DC: NEKST tribute + PEAR x AREK x ELI x CON
If you've been past Logan hardware and Whole Foods by 14th & P St. NW over the past 4 years, in the alley behind Irvine Contemporary and Transformer galleries, you've seen a long standing set of murals by Shephard Fairey, Gaia, and others.
Slowly, as to be expected, the murals met their fate. Possibly first was when Whole Foods mistakenly painted over Gaia's part of it after a neighbor complained. Then the Cat Aids moniker showed up on the Shephard Fairey portion at street view. Lame. Piece by piece, the murals broke down.
Now, a new set of murals is up and fresh — a NEKST tribute + PEAR x AREK x ELI x CON. Go catch them in person before they're gone!
Barack Obama Washington DC Graffiti + Street Art [PHOTOS]
Barack Obama inspired his way into the White House in 2008 with a message that resonated on the streets of Washington, DC. Since then, depictions of the President have popped up across the nation's capital. Obama-related graffiti even made it into our very first blog post, just after inauguration in 2009.
Here's how the Prez has been depicted during the first four years on the streets of the seat of power:
Earlier this summer, tens of thousands of visitors flocked to see work by over 1000 artists at Artomatic. The DC graffiti scene was on hand full force to add a nice sample of writing styles at the event. Here are a few of the pieces:
The Endless Bummer mural (above) has been up at 11th & U St. NW for a few years. Below, these colorful fish have surfaced recently:
Nothing To Fear But Fear: Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum Exhibit + More [Photos]
Have you seen this poster around DC lately? It's looks to be of Artuaré and Conversations in the Contemporary, through April 29 at the Anacostia Community Museum.
As it turns out, a few of our recent photos from around DC (unrelated to the exhibit) might strike on some common fears, further below.
As part of the exhibit 'Above The Radar II,' The Fridge and Albus Calvus teamed up on a workshop this past weekend to teach elements of graffiti style and technique. Two 'crews' worked with pros to sketch out the lettering, characters, and colors to create their own murals.
Above The Radar II is on display at The Fridge thru December 3. More details below.

Football season is right around the corner, and with that means people are watching closely to see if last season's widespread national anthem protests, started by former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, will be repeated.
This is an issue that has divided both players and fans. However, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott believes the issue is actually quite simple, Dallas News Sports Day reported.
While being interviewed by senior producer at Yahoo Sports Evan Doherty, Prescott was asked if he "felt the need" to participate in any sort of protest this year. He answered with four epic words that will have a lot of people cheering.
No, not at all," Prescott stated succinctly.
Doherty, clearly not satisfied with that answer, asked him to elaborate further.
"I mean, it's bigger than I think some of us think," Prescott explained. "It's just important for me to go out there, hand over my heart, represent our country, and just be thankful, and not take anything I've been given and my freedom for granted."
You can watch the exchange here:
It's refreshing to hear someone express gratitude for the freedoms we enjoy in this great country. If only all the other NFL players could understand that and see how ridiculous their protests are.
While any NFL player who takes a knee during the anthem is certainly within their constitutional right to do so, it nevertheless reveals their great ignorance.
While screaming that America is oppressive, they simultaneously enjoy their right to protest, build extremely successful careers, and otherwise live as they see fit.
Yes, racism exists in America. But kneeling during the national anthem isn't going to change anything — and dishonoring what makes this country great only makes things much, much worse. Hats off to Prescott for having the courage to acknowledge that fact.

I'm waving hello from under the snuggly quilt on my bed. Temps getting chilly here, and though you European&US lot laugh at me when I say the temps tip in at around 18C/65F here right now, and that this is what spring is like for you, trust me - in the tropics, that is chilly weather! And we're not in winter yet! Thank goodness there's brilliant sunshine to keep the spirits up.
Speaking of keeping spirits up, what's better than visiting blogs and reading tantalizing snippets & excerpts, aka, what Six Sentence Sunday is all about? Join me for another few lines from Before The Morning (Corpus Brides: Book Two), which comes out next Monday, btw, May 7... *excited*
Last week, we left our hero just as he made a startling discovery - the woman he's just saved looks so much like his childhood best friend. He hasn't seen her in ages, so is it her, or not?
We move a page or so from where we left off - Ash, in true hero/knight in shining armour fashion, has gone up against the woman's lover, the man who hit her right in front of everyone. It took a policeman to tear the two men apart. Ash refuses to leave before the bloke allows him to check on her - Irina, as she is called.
They're in a room in the house now; Ash has made her sit down, and he is checking on her injury. Yet, recognition is flooring him...
No matter how much she reminded him of Rayne Cheltham, she wasn't his childhood best friend, and he also remembered Rayne as he had last seen her, seventeen years earlier, when they had parted ways at London Waterloo where she took the train to go to France.
Rayne would be thirty-five today, and Irina looked like she was in her early twenties—she still carried a soft layer of baby fat on her cheeks and along her jawline.
The area along her left cheekbone was an ugly, dark red colour, which would definitely swell and bruise later on—thankfully, the skin hadn't broken, and he ran the pad of his thumb against the injury; she winced, and he noticed the healing cut on her lower lip, concealed with dark-red lipstick. His gaze roamed over her, to notice once again the lightweight jacket that sheathed her from the waist up, with closed buttons riding to her throat; she couldn't be cold, not in the smouldering summer heat—she hid bruises, and the fist slam today was not her first.
"Why do you let him do that to you?"
She blinked; her lips parted, but she didn't answer—he'd forgotten she didn't speak English....'
Catch the rest of the SSS lot and their fantabulous excerpts - especially Jessica E. Subject, Siobhan Muir, Lorraine Paton, Cara Bristol, Wildcat's Wife, and of course, don't forget to check my sis&bestie's blog, @ Natalie G. Owens.
Hope you're all having a lovely weekend, peeps! Thanks for your visit, double thanks + XOXO if you leave a comment.
From Mauritius with love,

I was there!
Michelle Friedman | Los Angeles, CA USA | 03/31/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I was actually in Memphis the night this concert was taped and was lucky enough to be in the audience for the first show. He actually played two shows that night. The room was warm. The beer was cold. The crowd, tightly packed into a small space, was lively. But enough about atmosphere, you want to hear about the concert.
You know how it is when you go to a concert of a well known artist and all you really want to hear is the old stuff, mainly because the new stuff is pretentious and lame...that was NOT the case here. Elvis varied it. He played both. But honestly, the best part of the show was when he played the new stuff. The duets with Emmylou Harris were also outstanding. And it might just be a personal preference, but I really dug the purple suit he was wearing.
Check it out for yourself. And look for me while you are at it, I may have been imortalized on the DVD. I am the curly haired girl in the red and white shirt."
Nice..but serious mixing board hiss on some tracks...
D. Mccorkle | USA | 06/07/2005

"I thought it was a corrupt disc, but after the production company sent me another copy I realized there were problems in the same area. Tracks 7-9 have some sort of digital audio hiss. Very annoying to say the least. If you can get over the hiss, the rest of the tracks are fine. I keep wondering why they would release compromised audio like that.."
Gary Bowden | Fort Smith, Arkansas United States | 04/20/2005

"If you love Elvis Costello,then this is the dvd for you...a very playful and energetic Elvis and a very tight band...The doc is very entertaining and educational as well...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Now,how about releasing A CASE FOR SONG and THE VERY BEST OF ELVIS COSTELLO AND THE ATTRACTIONS on dvd next???"
Great, but could have been even better
Alison Munin | Pittsburgh, PA United States | 05/01/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)
"After a long long wait, I was excited to finally see an Elvis Costello DVD. Anyone who has seen this man live over the years (for me its been about five times) knows what a phenomenal live show he puts on. The first thing I can say about this DVD is that the picture and sound quality are unsurpassed--turn it up and it really sounds like you're at the concert. I don't even have my tv hooked up to a stereo system and I was impressed. I imagine it is even better with a really good sound system. On the negative side, (the reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5) I think the show is too short. When there is so much room for material on a DVD and we know that Elvis' concerts typically last 2 1/2 hours and more (with 28-30 songs being the norm), why oh why would they cut this performance down to only 20 songs? Even with the four extra bonus tracks (which should have just been included in the concert) the concert is severely cut down. For us fans that have seen him live, it left me wondering what great songs I was missing. The track listing is composed mainly of the Delivery Man songs and all of the most popular (but overplayed) "hits" (Pump It Up, PL&U, Alison, etc.). The best part of seeing Elvis is getting to hear many of the other classic surprises that he pulls out of his reportoire, but sadly, other than Waiting For the End of the World, Blue Chair and High Fidelity (which are great by the way)that is it. I'm sure some of the best songs got cut. I also thought the documentary was a little boring as I had no clue who or what they were talking about most of the time. Its the kind of thing you'll watch just once. But the concert itself really is a terrific slice of live Elvis and I'm glad I have it."

Is there a 50 Cent and French Montana beef heating up?!!
50 Cent posted a link on Twitter to an interview where French Montana is dissing his album sales and praising Rick Ross.
What is this Gabby http://t.co/8XqOfRjp
Suddenly, 50 Cent RIPS INTO French Montana — tweeting the following messages:
French Montana you ain't Sh!t boy. You out your league talking about me you hoe.i read your little interview what the fucx is you high. Do you realize this fool @Frenchmontana hasn't sold one record and talking about sales. Im not tweeting about this little fool No more.I'm a see him and he gonna explain that's it.
Excerpts from French Montana's interview:
French Montana: …Everyday that goes by, we getting bigger and bigger. So I would rather do that, then come in and have a short run. I'd rather have a Cash Money run. Not to say that in a bad way, but 50 Cent could have been a lot bigger.
Complex: Really?
French Montana: Of course. I feel like beef hurt him. I feel like it helped Ross unite people. That's why Maybach Music is one of the biggest labels. It just makes sense.
Complex: Do you think Ross will have a longer run than 50 did?
French Montana: Of course, Ross is on his fifth album. And like I said, he's only getting bigger. This is going to be Ross' first platinum album. He never went platinum. So when 50 came up, 50 sold 10 million. Then after his first album he just kept on going down. You think 50 could come out and sell 10 million now?
RealTalkNY caught the following screen shot of French Montana firing back at 50 Cent on Twitter.
French Montana's tweet has since been erased. Let's pray Diddy will advise French Montana to stay away from beefing with 50 Cent.

WASHINGTON - The Barack Obama administration is refusing to acknowledge an offer by the leadership of the Taliban in early December to give "legal guarantees" that it will not allow Afghanistan to be used for attacks on other countries.
The administration's silence on the offer, despite a public statement by Secretary of State Hilary Clinton expressing skepticism about any Taliban offer to separate itself from al Qaeda, effectively leaves the door open to negotiating a deal with the Taliban based on such a proposal.
The Taliban, however, has chosen to interpret the Obama administration's position as one of rejection of its offer.
The Taliban offer, included in a statement dated Dec. 4 and e-mailed to news organizations the following day, said the organization has "no agenda of meddling in the internal affairs of other countries and is ready to give legal guarantees if foreign forces withdraw from Afghanistan".
The statement did not mention al Qaeda by name or elaborate on what was meant by "legal guarantees" against such "meddling", but it was an obvious response to past U.S. insistence that the U.S. war in Afghanistan is necessary to prevent al Qaeda from having a safe haven in Afghanistan once again.
It suggested that the Taliban is interested in negotiating an agreement with the United States involving a public Taliban renunciation of ties with al Qaeda, along with some undefined arrangements to enforce a ban al Qaeda presence in Afghanistan in return for a commitment to a timetable for withdrawal of foreign troops from the country.
Despite repeated queries by IPS to the State Department spokesman P. J. Crowley and to the National Security Council's press office over the past week about whether either Secretary Clinton or President Obama had been informed about the Taliban offer, neither office has responded to the question.
Anand Gopal of The Wall Street Journal, whose Dec. 5 story on the Taliban message was the only one to report that initiative, asked a U.S. official earlier that day about the offer to provide "legal guarantees".
The official, who had not been aware of the Taliban offer, responded with what was evidently previously prepared policy guidance casting doubt on the willingness of the Taliban to give up its ties with al Qaeda. "This is the same group that refused to give up bin Laden, even though they could have saved their country from war," said the official. "They wouldn't break with terrorists then, so why would we take them seriously now?"
The following day, asked by ABC News "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos about possible negotiations with "high level" Taliban leaders, Clinton said, "We don't know yet."
But then she made the same argument the unnamed U.S. official had made to Gopal on Saturday. "[W]e asked Mullah Omar to give up bin Laden before he went into Afghanistan after 9/11," Clinton said, "and he wouldn't do it. I don't know why we think he would have changed by now."
In the same ABC interview, Defense Secretary Robert Gates suggested that the Taliban would not be willing to negotiate on U.S. terms until after their "momentum" had been stopped.
"I think that the likelihood of the leadership of the Taliban, or senior leaders, being willing to accept the conditions Secretary Clinton just talked about," Gates said, "depends in the first instance on reversing their momentum right now, and putting them in a position where they suddenly begin to realize that they're likely to lose."
In a statement issued two days after the Clinton-Gates appearance on ABC, the Taliban leadership, which now calls itself "Mujahideen", posted another statement saying that what it called its "proposal" had been rejected by the United States.
The statement said, in part, "Washington turns down the constructive proposal of the leadership of Mujahideen," and repeated its pledge to "ensure that the next government of the Muhajideen will not meddle in the internal affairs of other countries including the neighbors if the foreign troops pull out of Afghanistan."
The fact that both the State Department and the NSC are now maintaining silence on the offer rather than repeating the Clinton-Gates expression of skepticism strongly suggests that the White House does not want to close the door publicly to negotiations with the Taliban linking troop withdrawal to renunciation of ties with al Qaeda, among other issues.
Last month, an even more explicit link between U.S. troop withdrawal and a severing by the Taliban of its ties with al Qaeda was made by a U.S. diplomat in Kabul.
In an article published Nov. 11, Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Trudy Rubin, who was then visiting Kabul, quoted an unnamed U.S. official as saying, "If the Taliban made clear to us that they have broken with al Qaeda and that their own objectives were nonviolent and political - however abhorrent to us - we wouldn't be keeping 68,000-plus troops here."
That statement reflected an obvious willingness to entertain a negotiated settlement under which U.S. troops would be withdrawn and the Taliban would break with al Qaeda.
A significant faction within the Obama administration has sought to portray those who suggest that the Taliban might part ways with al Qaeda as deliberately deceiving the West.
Bruce Riedel of the Brookings Institution, who headed the administration's policy review of Afghanistan and Pakistan last spring, recently said, "A lot of smoke is being thrown up to confuse people."
But even the hard-liner Riedel concedes that the Pakistani Taliban's attacks on the Pakistani military and Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI) threaten the close relationship between the Afghan Taliban and ISI. The Pakistani Taliban continue to be closely allied with al Qaeda.
The Taliban began indicating it openness to negotiations with the United States and NATO in September 2007. But it began to hint publicly at its willingness to separate itself from al Qaeda in return for a troop withdrawal only three months ago.
Taliban leader Mullah Omar's message for Eid al-Fitr in mid-September assured "all countries" that a Taliban state "will not extend its hand to jeopardize others, as it itself does not allow others to jeopardize us... Our goal is to gain independence of the country and establish a just Islamic system there."
But the insurgent leadership has also emphasized that negotiations will depend on the U.S. willingness to withdraw troops. In anticipation of Obama's announcement of a new U.S. troop surge in Afghanistan, Mullah Omar issued a 3,000-word statement Nov. 25 which said, "The people of Afghanistan will not agree to negotiations which prolongs and legitimizes the invader's military presence in our beloved country."
"The invading Americans want Mujahidin to surrender under the pretext of negotiation," it said.
That implied that the Taliban would negotiate if the U.S. did not insist on the acceptance of a U.S. military presence in the country.
The day after the Taliban proposal to Washington, Afghan President Hamid Karzai made a public plea to the United States to engage in direct negotiations with the Taliban leadership.
In an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, Karzai said there is an "urgent need" for negotiations with the Taliban, and made it clear that the Obama administration had opposed such talks.
Karzai did not say explicitly that he wanted the United States to be at the table for such talks, but said, "Alone, we can't do it."

Although St. Francis of Assisi is commonly credited with composing the St. Francis peace prayer, no real evidence exists to suggest he wrote it. It's a prayer for selflessness, which asks God to help the one praying to seek less and give to others. The prayer ends with the contrasting principles that "it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life."
The major theme of the prayer is a plea to God to allow the person praying to be an instrument of God's peace and, in so doing, to see what is wrong in the world and make it right. Another name for this Christian prayer is "Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace," which are words from the first line. St. Francis lived during the 13th century, but the prayer is only traceable back as far as 1912 in France.
The prayer's first appearance in the United States was in 1927 when it was translated into English in the Quaker magazine "Friends' Intelligencer." The author is not known. In present times, the words are frequently used as a prayer and have also been set to music and sung as a hymn. The musical form was used as part of the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997. Alcoholics Anonymous uses references to the prayer in its 12-step program, and politicians have often invoked the prayer in public settings.

Lea Roberts: Excuse Me, I Want to Talk to You (1973) ... plus
Unfortunately, it is not easy to find much info about Lea Roberts on the net (or elsewhere), which is quite hard to understand as she is such a gifted vocalist! Lea Roberts was born Leatha Roberta Hicks in Dayton, Ohio on 15 April, 1946 and she began to record in the late '60s-early '70s, when she issued two singles for Minit Records, 'Prove It' b/w 'When Something Is Wrong With My Baby' and 'Love on My Mind' b/w 'Stay with Me'. She signed to United Artists in 1970, recording eleven singles for the label between 1970 and 1975. She released a couple of albums on UA, too: the first one - and her best - was Excuse Me, I Want to Talk to You (1973) and the second, which I posted months ago, was Lady Lea (1975). Her debut, arranged by Wade Marcus, is a mixture of smooth and deep soul with some funky tracks. Highlights include '(If You Don't Want My Love) Give It Back', 'I Take My Fire with Me', 'I'm Losing My Mind', 'Maybe I Don't Show It', and 'Jeremy'. Roberts' R&B recording of Neil Sedaka's song 'Laughter in the Rain', which appears on Lady Lea, went to #20 on the R&B charts. As far as I know she released one final album entitled My Silent Place, on Skies Unlimited Records, in 1982. No need to say it would be more than appreciated if someone could share a copy of that one ... Lea Roberts' unique gospelised vocal stylings are something like a cross between Aretha Franklin, Della Reese and Judy Clay, if such a thing was possible. I am sure you are going to like this great soul singer, in case you din't know her. For those of you who already had this album, I have left a second link in the comments section with three extra tracks, consisting of two sides from her Minit years, plus one track of her 1982 album.
