Hey, welcome. Consider following MSV on Twitter and subscribing to the RSS feed, or sign up for email updates right over here.
Big Ears brunch, 2017 edition! (Past years: 2014, a tiny peek at 2015, and 2016.)
In addition to coffee on the hot end, there were four chilled drinks on offer:
- pineapple-carrot-chamomile juice topped with sparkling water
- blueberry-mint Bellini
- apricot-ginger Bellini
- ginger shandy made with Harpoon UFO White
All four garnished with a lime wedge (easy peasy).
The main focus this year was breads and things. There were biscuits with tempeh-walnut patties (not pictured), everything bagels, wheat toast, and pecan-raisin toast.
And the toppers, from right to left:
- apple-chamomile molasses
- strawberry-jalapeno jam
- Blackberry Farms blackberry jam (out of frame)
- coconut bacon
- pear slices
- mashed avocado
- pesto
- Kite Hill plain cream cheese
- smoked sun-dried tomatoes
- chives
- capers
- lime wedges
- freshly cracked black pepper
- flaked sea salt
- crushed red chiles
No one went hungry.
There were also some fork foods to round out the table. On the left is a fruit salad of mixed grapes and halved strawberries tossed with a little oil, a dose of apple-chamomile molasses (the best fruit booster, by the way—adds tart and sweet in one go), and finely chopped mint. On the right is a dish of black beans and tomatoes simmered with cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, and Mexican oregano. Into a giant baking dish they went. The top was studded with slices of polenta, which were brushed with a mix of olive oil, nutritional yeast, and kala namak before baking. Hearty and comforting and seriously spiced. Finally, a big bowl of this potato salad was served, but with roasted cauliflower florets substituted for the potatoes (with all the bread on hand, potatoes seemed a bit much). Parsley for the herb. It was a hit, as ever. Seriously, take that salad to the next party you go to.
So there you go. This was decidedly a generous vegan brunch. And a great festival.
Back next week with a new recipe. Thanks for reading.

Concerns Continue over Greece and other European Markets
ISM Indices Grow; Concerns Continue over Greece and other European Markets
May 10, 2010 - Nonfarm payrolls added 290,000 jobs in April, well ahead of economists' predictions. Despite the unemployment rate increasing slightly to 9.9%, the increase in jobs was viewed as very positive. The recent increase in unemployment was largely due to people reentering the labor force after stopping their job search during the recession.
Accompanying April's job report was the release of the ISM manufacturing and service indices, both of which produced positive results. The U.S. manufacturing sector grew at its fastest pace in nearly six years, rising to 60.4 for the month of April; the service sector remained at 55.4%.
Concerns over the debt crisis in Greece, and the potential for similar issues in Spain and Portugal, put much of the global financial markets on edge. This, combined with the Dow's near 1,000 point drop, helped drive mortgage rates downward. Many consumers are taking advantage of the low rates to lock in refinances and purchase transactions.
This week has many important economic releases, including Retail Sales and Industrial Production. Eyes, however, will be primarily focused on events in European as well as the direction of the stock market.

Salmon fishing is a year-round affair in the Pacific Northwest, and that usually involves some derbies in which anglers turn out to try their luck during the hardest fishing time of the season. The 69th Tengu Derby, one of the most challenging and longest consecutive running salmon derbies since 1946, will begin Oct. 27 in Elliott Bay. Last year, the 10-week derby produced 23 legal-size (more than 22 inches long) hatchery-marked Chinook for 46 members. The record low since the derby began in 1946 was four fish in 2010, and the record catch was 234 in 1979. The most recent high catch was 99 fish in 2007. The winner was Doug Hanada of Renton who caught an 11 pound, 9 ounce chinook, and second place went to Justin Wong of Seattle with an 9 pound, 12 ounce fish. Wong also took top honors with the most fish caught during the season and a total of four keeper-sized blackmouth. Last year, the opener on Oct. 28 produced two fish for 31 anglers (Steve Nitta caught an 8 pound, 2 ounce fish, and second was Chuck Hammer with a 7 pound, 3 ounce fish); Nov. 4 had one fish (Justin Wong with a 4 pound, 12 ounce fish) for 33 anglers; Nov. 11 had two fish (both caught by Wong a 9 pound, 12 ounce and 5 pound, 14 ounce fish) for 28 anglers; Nov. 18 produced no catch for 28 anglers; Nov. 25 had one fish (Bob Vick, 5 pounds, 14 ounce) for 32 anglers; Dec. 2 had two fish (Tim Ratigan, 7 pound, 3 ounce fish, and Steve Nitta, 6 pound, 4 ounce fish) for 26 anglers. The best catches occurred during the second half of the season with Dec. 9 generating three fish (including the season winner by Hanada; second was Benny Wong with a 6 pounds, 12 ounce fish; and third was Benson Wong with a 4 pound, 1 ounce fish) for 27 anglers; Dec. 16 saw four fish (Tim Ratigan with a 6 pound, 7 ounce fish; Chris Peeler, 5 pound, 11 ounce; Benson Wong, 4 pound, 12 ounce; and John Mirante, 4 pound, 6 ounce) for 29 anglers; Dec. 23 with five fish (Ed Vike, 6 pound, 13 ounce; Nelson Park, 6 pound, 9 ounce; Gary Dodobara, 6 pound, 6 ounce; Chris Peeler, 4 pound, 3 ounce; and Tim Ratigan, 3 pound, 15 ounce) for 30 anglers; and Dec. 30 with three fish (Justin Wong, 4 pound, 7 ounce; Chris Peeler, weight not provided; and Gary Wong, 4 pound, 4 ounce) for 28 anglers. In good years, it is not out of the norm to have more than 50 to 100 fish weighed in by the season end, but catches have dropped off since 2009. The derby was named after Tengu, a fabled Japanese character who stretched the truth. Like Pinocchio, Tengu's nose grew with every lie. In the derby, only mooching (fishing using a banana-style lead weight to a leader with a herring) is allowed. No artificial lures, flashers, hoochies (plastic squids) or other gear like downriggers are permitted. The derby is held from daybreak to 11 a.m. every Sunday through Dec. 29 at the Seacrest Boathouse in West Seattle. Cost is $15, and $5 for kids under age 12. Rental boats are $65, and $85 for boat and motor. Details: 206-324-7600. Tickets are available at Linc's Tackle Shop in Seattle, Seacrest Boathouse in West Seattle, Auburn Sports and Marine and Outdoor Emporium in Seattle. Two derbies that are part of the Northwest Marine Trade Association's 15-Event Northwest Salmon Derby Series will follow soon after. The Bayside Marine Salmon Derby is Nov. 2-3 in Everett, and the largest fish is worth $2,000. Cost is $30 and can be purchased at Bayside Marine until Nov. 1. There is also a $50 entry fee for the team division. Fishing is allowed in Marine Areas 8-1, 8-2, 9 and 10 only. Last year, the derby sold 251 tickets with 85 fish weighed-in averaging 7.52 pounds. Top fish went to Scott Bumstead with a 14.4 pound chinook. For details, call 425-252-3088 or www.baysidemarine.com. The Resurrection Salmon Derby Dec. 6-7 at Friday Harbor on San Juan Island, which is hosted by the Fidalgo/San Juan Islands Chapter of Puget Sound Anglers. Cost is $400 per boat with four anglers per boat, and limited to 100 boats. First place is $10,000, second is worth $2,500 and third place will take home $1,500. Last year, Bob Norling, Steve Grey and Mark Schinman landed 15.67 pound fish and earned $10,000; second was Kris Maudslin, Troy Unke and Mike Sorenson with a 14.68 pounder and a prize of $2,500; and third was Kevin and Duane Zender with a 14.46 pounder and $1,500. Most total weight in a boat went to Troy Moe's Team with 93.56 pounds, and took home $1,000. For details, go to http://www.resurrectionderby.com/index.html.

Hey there.
Let me tell ya a bit about myself. I am a certified yoga instructor, personal trainer, and wellness coach. I've earned my master's degree in Exercise Physiology and Wellness Coaching with an emphasis on Behavioral Psychology and Nutrition at the University of Utah. I'm one helluva proud cofounder of The Little Wellness Place, which provides a home for the community in workshops, retreats, and other events. My specialty truly lies in my ability to create individual programs, per client, per day. Based on emotions, body cues, physical/emotional history, and environmental factors at the time of each session, I create what I call a 'wellness recipe'. This may include specific movements, meditations, lifestyle modifications, internal/external processing, creativity, examining sleep health, and food relationships.
I am passionate beyond reason in helping my clients rediscover their own conversation with the self. No two clients have the same program, because no two people are the same. Using the model of total wellness: from sleep to nutrition, movement to social health, I aim to facilitate my clients in finding balance and happiness in their mind and body. In this state of wholeness, creativity and empowerment may return.
I am here to listen. With a session at Into the Woods Wellness, you are seen as an individual. I'm here to help you rediscover what a healthy balance looks like for you personally.

At least 200 community activists, NGO workers and other civilians on the frontlines of protecting the environment were reported murdered worldwide in 2016, the highest on record, the group said.
In the Philippines, an environmental activist was recorded to have been killed at a rate of every 12 days in 2016, with only Brazil and Colombia having more murders.
As in other hotspot nations, the deaths in the Philippines are rising as communities stand up against corrupt politicians and businessmen intent on securing increasingly scarce natural resources.
"Voracious industries such as mining, agribusiness and logging are trampling over people's rights to take part in decisions that affect their land and environment," Billy Kyte, Global Witness environmental and land defenders campaign leader, said.
"Forced into activism, many of these marginalised communities then receive threats and attacks for defending their rights. The government does little to stop the ensuing violence and rarely holds anyone to account for the killings."
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's controversial crackdown on drugs, which has seen police and suspected vigilantes kill thousands of people, further highlights the culture of impunity, according to rights groups.
Father-of-five Ruben Arzaga was one recent land defender murdered in the Philippines when he was shot in the head in September as he tried to approach illegal loggers on Palawan island, a popular tourist destination.
Arzaga was an elected village captain in Palawan's tourist town of El Nido, famed for its idyllic beaches and limestone cliffs, and had been trying to confiscate illegally cut timber as part of a personal crusade to stop rampant deforestation.
"If this illegal activity is not stopped, I think before my youngest daughter becomes a young adult and has a family of her own, all the big trees here will be gone," Arzaga, 49, said during another mission to confiscate chainsaws from illegal loggers.
Police said Arzaga, who was leading a small group of local officials, was ambushed at the logging site last September. Two brothers from Arzaga's local community have been charged with murder over his killing.
Arzaga belonged to the Palawan NGO Network Inc (PNNI), a non-profit group made up of so-called para enforcers that uses a citizen's arrest law to confiscate equipment that is being used to destroy the island's environment.
Arzaga was the 12th member of the group murdered since 2001.
"The PNNI's environmental enforcement work is an example of concerned citizens willing to risk their lives to save Palawan's precious environment. It's a selfless, courageous task that should be celebrated," said Kyte, from Global Witness.
Nieves Rosento, the mayor of El Nido and a friend of Arzaga's who is struggling with few resources to stop environmental destruction in the area, said the work of PNNI was essential.
"We have a lot of battles here, and they help a lot," Rosento said a day after attending Arzaga's funeral. AFP

Today I did not have much time to craft a post, as I was working out with the plumbing company the cost estimate for replacing our hot water heater. The heater started leaking last week, just a tiny bit, and as we had just had lots of rain, my husband thought it was a groundwater overflow. I had a bad feeling about it, but kept it to myself so as not to be labeled a dramatist.
The puddle increased in size over the weekend and by Monday morning I decided to put down towels so we could continue to use our showers and do dishes and laundry. The plumber came today and told me I was not a dramatist and that I should have trusted my instincts. The hot water heater is original to the house; it was built in 2001. My dad routinely tells me that most things last ten years and after that, every day it still works is like a gift from the heavens. At thirteen years old, this water heater owes us nothing.
The aggravation to put in a new one is what annoys me. The nice young man who came to look at the heater and do the estimate told me the tank is unlikely to burst, so I need not worry about potential flooding. I scheduled the install and cleanup is scheduled for next Monday, which is good. At least we won't be paying for "emergency fees" on top of the replacement cost. The part that aggravates me is having to spend next weekend cleaning out the crap in my basement and moving it all out of the way.
Grrrr….. I'm going to start now. After I have a glass of wine.

Heart is Where the Home Is
This old companion of mine,
With me before I drew breath,
Bearing the weight of my joys and pain
Till we, together, greet merciful death.
You, who urges my love to expand
Then, in pride, doubles in size.
Who accepts my wounds when others spurn;
A chrysalis in which I can hide.
My friend, constant, always with me,
Depending on me, as I do you.
Colour my vision, inform my decisions.
To you may I ever be true.

On May 15, 2018, Prof. Fausto Pinto, a leading cardiologist in Europe, visited the Medical University of Warsaw on the occasion of a Scientific Conference organized by the 1st Faculty of Medicine.
Prof. Fausto Pinto is the former President and Founder of the European Association of Echocardiography. In this capacity, Prof. Pinto cooperated with many Polish cardiologists in the field of echocardiography such as Prof. Piotr Pruszczyk. He held the position of President of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) from 2014-2016; he was the Editor-in-Chief of the Portuguese Journal of Cardiology (1999-2015); and, initiated the ESC Editors' Club which worked closely with prof. Krzysztof J. Filipiak, the former Editor-in-Chief of the Polish Journal of Cardiology.
Prof. Pinto was received by University authorities including Prof. Jadwiga Turło, Deputy Rector for Science and Technology Transfer; Prof. Krzysztof J. Filipiak, Deputy Rector for Internationalization, Promotion and Development; as well as by a delegation of the University's five highest ranking cardiologists in 2015-2017 (based on the number of publications and achievements in scientific research): Prof. Grzegorz Opolski, Prof. Krzysztof J. Filipiak, Prof. Piotr Pruszczyk, Filip M. Szymański, Ph.D. and Janusz Kochman, Ph.D.
The morning discussions covered topics like recent developments in cardiology in Europe and cooperation activities between the Medical University of Warsaw and the Lisbon Cardiovascular Institute which Prof. Pinto heads. Following a short video presentation of the Medical University of Warsaw, Dr. Anna Płatek and some Ph.D. students from the Cardiology Department and Clinic talked about their ERASMUS research experience at the Lisbon Cardiovascular Institute. Prof. Pinto concluded the meeting by stressing the importance of continuing the teaching and scientific cooperation between the Medical University of Warsaw and the University of Lisbon Faculty of Medicine where he is Dean through exchanges (internships and trainings) of students, academic teachers and scientists, as well as, through the exchange of scientific ideas, publications, information, and by organizing joint workshops.
The meeting was organized by Mr. Michał Cegiełkowski, Coordinator of the Internationalization, Promotion and Development Division and by Mrs. Lidia Przepióra-Dziewulska, Head of the International Cooperation Department who presented Prof. Pinto with a copy of "The Golden Book of the Medical University of Warsaw."

I'm going to break away from my norm a little bit here, and instead of connecting course readings to information literacy, today I want to ask what seems to me a big question:
What makes information good?
To break it down a little bit, I might also ask:
What kind of information do you look for and/or consume most frequently? (News, ideas, how-tos, scholarly or research articles, opinion pieces?)
What is it that gives information credibility? (What do you look for when assessing the veracity of a source? Are there some sources you trust automatically? Why?)
One of my goals is not just to create content, but to curate it, and to learn from others online. I'm interested in knowing what and how people think about information, so please leave your feedback in the comments!

One tends to think of birding as an idyllic pastime. One goes into the field, sees gorgeous creatures, identifies them, and then brags to one's birding friends about what wonderful creatures one saw. Sometimes one sees one of the gorgeous creatures do something interesting and one tells one's birding friends about it but with less bragging. Of course, sometimes what one sees is somewhat disturbing, which is where the title of this post comes in to play. Though what I witnessed this weekend was strictly between birds I guess it might be better to title the post "Red in Beak and Feather" but that's not from Tennyson and does not have quite the effect for which I was looking. Let's just say that if you don't want to see a bird in an existential struggle then you should not read any further. You should, in fact, get away from this post and go look at cute Killdeer.
Still here? Great! I guess you have the stomach look into the center of the circle of life and not feel faint at what you find there. Let's set the stage for the photographs that follow. I was birding at Jamaica Bay on Sunday and ran into a fellow birder, Shane Blodgett. Shane is a heck of a birder and a nice guy and we ended up making our way around the West Pond together, seeing a whole host of species and having a grand old time. We had stopped to scope the very northwestern edge of the pond where a host of Canada Geese, Mallards, Gadwall, herons, and a couple of Greater Yellowlegs were resting or foraging, when Shane picked up a bit of commotion and realized that a Great Black-backed Gull had a hold on the back of a young Gadwall and was not letting go. The sun was shining so heat shimmers were an issue and the range was pretty long, so some of these pictures are far from ideal but you will get the idea…roll over the pictures for pop-up captions.
To be honest, while watching this whole struggle, which took probably ten minutes start to finish, I contemplated walking away a couple of times, and both Shane and I wished we had been closer so we could intervene on the duck's behalf. Sure, things get killed and eaten all the time in nature but to see a duck struggle like that just to end up gull food, well, it wasn't the most fun I've ever had while birding. Even the Canada Geese couldn't watch: as the struggle progressed they all gradually drifted away and left the young Gadwall to its fate, alone except for the prying eyes of herons, the gull, and oblivian.
Interference is a slippery slope, raptors eat like this every day. Once you start giving birds human attributes or seeing the Gadwall as the underdog where do you draw the line how much interference becomes acceptable. How many times does a hawk get chased from prey before it effects it's breeding success etc?
I am with Alan.
Besides, I find it much more brutal that you show a Yellow-crowned Night-heron on your pics without even mentioning it as something noteworthy.
Not nice, Corey, not nice.
At the risk of further anthropomorphizing the situation, Great BB Gulls are total brutes. They even intimidate me when they give that evil eye.
That's nature for you.
I agree that intervention would have been a bad thing.
If we believe in evolution, then this particular Gadwall is better off not in the gene pool, while this GBB Gull has certainly earned the right to breed again.
Of course, those Yellow-Crowned Nightherons are pretty cool too, hopefully you got some pictures of them too?
I wonder why that duck? It looks awfully big and healthy and like a lot of trouble for the gull compared to, say, just flying over to Coney Island and hitting the trash cans on the boardwalk.
Great Black-backed Gulls are nasty birds. Even if you did intervene, the gull would probably just finish the job later.
How did the gull make the kill? Did it drown the duck or kill it by breaking the neck/strangulating it?
And I don't care what you say. YC Nightheron is NEVER a trash bird.
Yeah well, Mississippi Kite is now a trash bird in these parts! 🙂
I had a similar experience at the Jamaica Bay NWR last summer but with a happier ending. A gull had hold of a duck but another duck crashed into the gull forcing the gull to let the duck go. Then a swan came over and scared the gull away. The ducks seemed no worse for wear.
I was happy to see the duck saved. It was hard to watch the duck struggling, but I did not stop watching. At the time I hoped there were no children around to see this because it was too violent.

Wishing everyone a survivable and maybe even prolific New Year. It's been a rough ending to 2016. We are a traumatized nation and there is no end in sight. Many people (including myself), are waking up during the night and remembering that the President-elect is Donald Trump, and cannot get back to sleep after that thought lights up the cortex with fear and dread; it's like a nightmare that is real and won't go away. I know I am preaching to the choir here, but I had to get this off my chest at the start of this New Year blog entry, because there is nothing that is more at the forefront of my mind (and everyone's), than this.
So how can one continue on? Not that there is any choice but to do so. In recent years I have taken on art, meaning creativity, as my religion. What do I mean by religion? I mean something to believe in, something worth continuing to do, a drive within that when externalized, is in itself a meaningful existence. Allowing this drive and it's manifestation (creative work) to flourish, even if for no concrete or specific reason, seems imperative, especially in these terrible times.
So how will we keep our "attitude" up and not sink down into immobility and despondency? How will we keep going?
The weight of these times and the inevitable suffering that is about to unfold, especially among the most vulnerable of the population, make it seem wrong to even try to enjoy life, have fun, get excited about ideas and things. It's hard. And yet, more than ever we need to make the time and effort to focus on the things in life that bring joy, sometimes the smallest insignificant details like the existence of gooseberries, or trolls, or a good tuna sandwich with sweet pickles. Most of the things (and people) we love and delight in are still around us and we should take notice of them now, more than ever. Another heartening thought is that creativity remains alive and well and ideas still abound.
Last night while waiting at a bar for a friend, I had a sudden flood of ideas for a new technique for making plates.
These moments of receiving thoughts, ideas, inspirations, realizations, making connections, discoveries - are not only exciting, but they are supremely reassuring. The imagination can't be co-opted, the pipeline that delivers these divine sparks to us, unbidden, and sometimes completely unexpectedly, is astonishingly un-effected by the current wertschmerz and remains somehow protected, precious, bold and strong; resilient and even oblivious in the face of everything that is going on in the world.
And to me that is one miracle to celebrate more than ever in this New Year.

For our holiday cards this year, my husband Brad and I played with the Gel Plate again, this time using snowflake stencils we cut out of vinyl and mylar. It was so much fun, we made extra to sell at Art In The Valley Gallery.
Here are a few photos of the process, along with some of the snowflake cards:
Above: Replenishing the paint on the palette.
Now I'm rolling the paint onto the gel plate.
Getting ready to print using the snowflake pieces.
Pressing firmly to pull the print and transfer the paint onto previously printed background.
As you can see they're not always successful! This particular print didn't pull up all the paint from the corner, and one of the snowflakes wasn't very crisp. Each print run was an experiment and the possibility of a bad print is occasionally hard to avoid. Luckily, acrylic paint can be layered multiple times and if a print doesn't meet our high standards (ha!) we could layer more paint and print a new background or more snowflakes once the paint had dried.
As you can see, each is unique!
This month I've been making monotype heart cards and prints using stencils I cut out of mylar. I also made letter stencils from scans of my own handwriting, using my husband's laser cutter. As a sign artist, he has some pretty cool tools out in his shop!
Some of these cards are available to purchase at my Etsy site and I hope to have some at Art In the Valley later this week.
Here's one that you can purchase right here! Of course, the watermark won't be on the card that you purchase, and it will arrive with a white envelope. Each is an original acrylic painting, suitable for framing.
Heart Card "3" 4.25 x 5.5 inches
$7.00 + $1.00 shipping
Let me know if you have any questions! I'm really enjoying all the textural effects from this new-to-me method of creating artwork.

His love for the Lord and his dedication to what he does is strong enough to make you love him. DJ Prophet 777 is saying all creations should praise the Lord. As Jesus did not come for the Saints only DJ 777 strongly believe that hence he is going to the clubs with the Gospel.
Your background, where you grew up, and how did it all start?
777's Answer: I grew up in a local area called Heathfield, and then Retreat in Cape Town. You would probably not believe it but I spent some of my childhood living on the streets with my Mom and brother. I had a very difficult childhood and we were very poor.
The desire to deejay began when I was a teenager. I used to attend lots of house parties with school friends. I was fascinated by this Dance music culture from the start and when I saw turntables for the first time and heard the "phattest†tracks playing, I guess that is when my desire to DJ began. But I knew it was impossible for me to afford.
Tell me your journey as a Dj?
777's Answer: Well it began in the year 2001/2, where I found myself on a crossroad of my life as I needed to decide if I would pursue the film or music industry. I was not sure what God wanted me to do. A minister told me to pray about it and dig in my heart concerning my desire in life. I then prayed and decided to pursue the gospel DJ route. I was convinced that God wanted me to fill that gap in the church regarding the Dance music genre in the church that had not yet been pursued. At that time I had not heard of any real gospel house artists and so my journey began with great confidence and excitement to pursue this calling. I was and I am very passionate about dance music. Dj'ing for me is about spreading positivity through gospel house music.
Your love for house music?
777's Answer: It really started when I was old enough to go to a nightclub which was popular at the time called the 'Space Odessey' in Observatory (Cape Town). That was in the late 1980's. The Djs played the coolest house music anthems. Then we would also get mix tapes (yes tapes) from a club called 'Le Club' & 'Odessey' mixed by guys like Superfly and Dj Russell (legends in those days). I would also record mix tapes from radio late night shows that only played underground house music. That was my early years of the birth of my love for house music.
Taking the genre that is known for clubs and associated with worldly things and turn it into a gospel, how and what inspired you to do that?
777's Answer:This concept definitely didn't start with me! It all began way back when in The USA/UK/Europe to my knowledge in the late 70's early eighties with groups/bands/producers/dj's like Ce Ce Rogers, Steve 'Silk' Hurley, Robert Owens, Michael Watford, Sounds Of Blackness, Ann Nesby, Walter Gibbons, Farley 'Jack Master' Funk, Barbara Tucker, Greg Cash, Michelle Weeks & Kenny Bobien just to name a few …the list goes on and on. These people are only some of the true soldiers and pioneers of this thing we call Gospel House music today, produced especially for the night clubs scene and night life in America/Chicago, New York and eventually spreading all around the world like a flame.
In 2002 I was blessed with two turntables, two channel mixer and seven gospel house/dance records from a fellow believer in Johannesburg. In the year 2002 I made a decision to seek out Gospel house music.
I hear that you only wear white clothes, tell us about that?
777's Answer: Yes! In the same year,2001/2 many things were happening in my spirit. I was somehow getting frustrated with the colour of my clothes I was wearing. At one stage I used to work in a clothing store and enjoyed looking well-dressed, but this time I felt I needed a change in my colour scheme. Maybe it was the soldier in me looking for a uniform?! Not fully understanding why but felt compelled to change, again I prayed about it and I felt at peace with wearing white/cream/light garments as a signature statement – but only to realize later, that God had another reason and purpose for me wearing white.I believe it was to be a prophetic statement and reminder to myself, the church and world that white is a symbol of purity, reminding us that Christ is coming back to this earth a second time and that He is coming back for His bride which is the church (His saints). He will be coming back for the church and not denominations and this church will have no spot or blemish and be pure. So after realizing why I'm really wearing this colour I said yes Lord, I will wear it as long as you want me to; and it has started many conversations. It creates an opportunity for me to share about the Lord when need be. Lol. ïŠ
How did it feel to share the stages with the biggest names in Mzansi?
777's Answer: It felt very humbling, because I new I had nothing to do with it. It was all a set up by God. Knowing I literally had nothing, living on the streets for many years as a child with my mother and my brother; now here I am sharing the stage with these big names only showed me that God is not a respecter of background. He can raise someone up from nothing & He can bring someone down from something. I felt honoured that God has placed me in that position only for one purpose and that's to give Him Glory.
What is your most memorable moment?
777's Answer: One of my most memorable moments was when I as a new DJ, was given the privilege by Dj Christos to open the Grand Finale party at the first South African Music Conference in Johannesburg in year 2005. I was honoured to open up the main dance floors for legends like Black Coffee,Franck Roger,Charles Webster, Vinny Da Vinci, Jef K (from Paris) Dj Christos & many more..I was on a high for a couple of weeks after that! A great moment in my life! Joburg has got a great musical buzz and a real love for music. God was good.
Has anyone came to you and told you about being blessed by the kind of music you do?
777's Answer: Oh yes all the time especially in church circles and even at secular events. There was one very specific time at one of my very first gigs at a very upmarket restaurant in Green Point, Cape Town. I was spinning underground Gospel house music. After my set I went for a bite to eat and bumped into one of the people who were at the cocktail bar that I had played at. This person testified that, "When you stopped your music the presence literally left the place.†He said he had to share that with me.
Who is God in your music?
777's Answer: Wow! Nice question. God is the author and finisher of all sounds especially when I play my music. I acknowledge that at all times. Satan don't come even close to being the creator of anything, yes not even sound, he only comes to steal, kill and destroy. But God through His Son comes to bring life and life more abundantly. God is not limited by Gospel music only; He can use secular music too to Exalt Himself. Why? Because He Is God and is not intimidated by His own creation (sound) and everything that's good through sound gives Him pleasure, and whatever was meant for evil ,God can turn it around for good. I personally like to play gospel (made by Christians) or if it's secular music (made by non-Christians), I try and keep it positive. Remember that the scriptures teach that whatever is good, noble and pure we must mediate on these things. My choice of music will uplift, not downgrade.
[callout title=DJ Prophet 777]I prayed about it and I felt at peace with wearing white/cream/light garments as a signature statement.[/callout]
How do you balance your life and still find time for God?
777's Answer: I became a follower of Christ in 1995 and it has been a journey of praying and growing. To find balance can be a hard one, it comes with time/years and building a personal relationship with God. He must become your personal friend and then when we say 'use me Lord' sincerely of course, The Holy Spirit starts to teach you about how Jesus would probably operate around people in those times. Then you start applying a non religious attitude towards people, but yet letting the love and light of God shine in dark places. You have to find your own peace in the Lord when it comes to that. Finding time for God shouldn't be second on our agenda – it should be a lifestyle…daily talking and walking with Him. It's like breathing air.
Do you DJ in Church?
777's Answer: Yes, for the first couple of years I only played in churches for a few reasons: to build confidence, to grow spiritually and mature in my dj technics and skills, allowing the Lord to minister to me and prepare me for things to come and of course educate the saints about gospel house music and other styles of club gospel music. Now, I Deejay almost everywhere possible where God opens the doors. I Deejay in churches and at non-church events (even the gay clubs – God hates the sin, but remember he loves the sinner; Jesus came for the sick, not the healthy…) At these venues I play secular and underground gospel music with the intention to plant a seed of the Lord in someone's life.
How has the church welcome this genre?
777's Answer: In the beginning the churches in the suburbs had to get to grips with the sound and style of the music, but eventually with teaching they have learnt that we, the church, must move with the times. In the city I found that churches were more open to this genre of Gospel House, because the energy of the city itself is more vibrant . Even there they still need more educating about this genre of Gospel music. House music is a very 'set you free' sound and it brings a lot of liberation when you really dance to it with purpose. The church, as a whole, has almost embraced all styles of Gospel music, but Gospel House is yet to take its place and it will come eventually.
What inspires you to wake up every morning and keep pushing?
777's Answer: Must be the prophetic words spoken over my life and knowing that each new day has a purpose closer to my Dj goals/career. Knowing that God Is not at a distant but that He's closer than a friend, closer than we think and He wants to lead us to our destiny. So that really inspires me to keep on keeping on.
Do you have an icon, if yes who?
777's Answer: There are many, but I must say my wife, a real inspiration to me and knowledgeable about the dance scene. Dj Redemption, the man who propelled me into the world of Deejay; Dj Christos for making beautiful gospel house and creating a platform for me; Farley 'Jackmaster' Funk, for being a legend and pioneer in the Gospel House music scene. Michelle Weeks, a true Gospel House music Diva & pioneer. Vonita White, a Gospel House music Diva & minister. The list goes on…
What impact do you want to bring in our society?
777's Answer: With God's help I would like to impact my city/s by establishing Christian night clubs & non-christian clubs owned by non-religious followers of Christ, all for the Glory of God. I would like to believe that I'm preparing for the generation to come like my children. I have three children, so I am teaching them now about what I do as a Dj and why I do what I do. There needs to be a safe place for our kids to enjoy themselves too, especially teenagers, without making them feel it's bad to enjoy themselves, especially to good house music or any other kind of music, as long as they know God is with them. Who can be against them if God is for them, but we as parents must teach them the proper way to enjoy themselves. This is especially so when it comes to clubs and night life. They probably will go to these places at some time or another, so why not teach them now and create facilities for them to go and hang out with mature people in the Lord overseeing them.

Fleas - When a non-personality-disordered individual (Non-PD) begins imitating or emulating some of the disordered behavior of a loved one or family member with a personality disorder this is sometimes referred to as "getting fleas".
Fleas comes from the adage "Lie down with dogs and you are bound to get fleas".
Sometimes, when a person has been exposed to an abusive situation for a sustained period, they will look for ways to escape - and sometimes they will experiment or resort to behaviors which are not characteristic but serve as a mechanism to demonstrate their anger.
These behaviors are often destructive and counter-productive and rarely get the abuse victim what they want. These behaviors usually result in regret, shame and apologies from the abuse victim towards their perpetrator. Some perpetrators may seize on such incidents as justification for their own abusive behavior or as a diversion from it.
Some Examples of Fleas
- An submissive partner who occasionally becomes violent towards an abusive person or towards their property.
- A placid individual who engages in name calling, shouting or slander.
- A faithful spouse who decides to have an affair.
What it Feels Like
If you have been living for a long time with a person who suffers from a personality disorder, chances are you have been living with the 3 dreadful companions - hopelessness, helplessness and powerlessness. Like an animal forced into a corner it is quite common to have the instinct to fight your way out of it.
Anger is a feeling that comes instinctively when we feel we aren't getting what we deserve. When we feel angry, our bodies produce adrenaline, our breathing rate and heart rate quicken. Our ability to think objectively and perform other maintenance tasks is reduced as our bodies instinctively divert resources towards our "fight or flight" mechanisms. We become like a tightly-wound spring.
However, most Non-PD's are more accustomed to "keeping the peace" than being aggressors and most of us are not comfortable or accomplished in winning arguments or fights.
We will often back down or feel remorse after lashing out. We may begin to compare our behavior to that of the person with the personality disorder and wonder if we are the ones who have "the" problem. It is common for Non-PD's to begin to question if they are the one who suffers from a personality disorder. It is also common for Non-PD's to greatly fear retribution after an angry outburst and engage in a manipulative campaign, similar to hooveringto try to deflect consequences or payback.
What NOT to do
If you find you are doing things that you are not proud of and think you may be getting fleas:
- Don't fight fire with fire with a person who is abusing you - you will just feel twice the heat.
- Don't use their poor choices as an excuse or justification for making bad choices of your own.
- Don't allow your own bad choices to be used as an excuse for somebody else's bad behavior. Everyone gets to be responsible for their own stuff.
What TO do
- Learn all you can about personality disorders and the abusive cycle.
- Get yourself a support network where you can discuss things that concern you without feeling judged.
- Work on setting Boundaries that will help you escape the feelings of helplessness, hopelessness and powerlessness.
- Take along a friend or therapist if appropriate and confront the behaviors of your abuser in an assertive, rather than an aggressive way.
- Promptly remove yourself and any innocent children from any verbally or physically abusive situations.

Picasso painting sold for almost £13.5m at Christie's
A rarely seen painting by Pablo Picasso has been sold for almost £13.5m at Christie's auction house in London, exceeding expectations.
Jeune Fille Endormie (1935), a portrait of the Spanish artist's lover, had been estimated to sell for £9m-12m.
The artwork was donated to the University of Sydney, provided the establishment used money from the sale for scientific research.
Giovanna Bertazzoni from Christie's said the piece was an "absolute jewel".
Marie-Therese Walter was the subject of many of Picasso's celebrated works.
The couple met in 1927 when he was 45 and she was 17. The couple spent time together at Picasso's country home, the Chateau de Boisgeloup, where he created a string of masterpieces.
Nude, Green Leaves And Bust, another portrait of Walter sold last year for a record $106.5m (£65.5m).
Dr Michael Spence from the university said it was a "very generous and far-sighted gift" that was donated to them by an anonymous person.
"We are grateful for their extraordinary generosity and delighted with the outcome of the auction."
He said the money would go towards research into obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

I grew up in Thunder Bay and started drawing cartoons as a kid. Thunder Bay was a great place to grow up. A great natural environment surrounds the city. It inspires a great love of the outdoors and sports like hockey and baseball are played in every neighbourhood. You can't avoid it. In the early eighties I moved to Calgary to take a job with an accounting firm. Not the best fit for me. I love art, photography and music. Maybe I should get involved in a business that is better fit to my interests.
I switched into the ad business and worked on a lot of the Petro-Canada Olympic promotions. I was dabbling in watercolours and oils and ended up taking some night courses at the Alberta College of Art. I worked for a while on a series of paintings that I referred to as "Report on people in business". It tried to project the work environment. I had a plan for an exhibition that was going to be a big installation like entering a business and walking though the office. Unfortunately it ended up being a startup that never got off the ground.
I fell in love, got married, and we moved to Vancouver. I always wanted to live in Vancouver because of the ocean and the mountains. Every time I visited Vancouver, it just seemed to be incredibly beautiful. I kept working in the ad business and eventually moved into the telecom business working on cellular phones, one of the greatest consumer products of all time. The industry never stopped moving and was the convergence of communications, internet and computing. I kept drawing and painting and playing music along the way and got to contribute some creative along the way, not the easiest thing to do in a big corporate environment.
On one of our family holidays we ended up on Hornby Island. Wow what a place. It inspired a whole series of drawings and graphics.
As time went on I started cycling to work. My round trip was 40km but I usually took the long way home cutting through False Creek and Stanley Park. I was doing it so often it started all to feel like my neighbourhood. When you do it on a regular basis you start to notice a lot more details. It was also getting addictive. If I didn't get the opportunity to ride around for a while I missed it.
Eventually everybody got a wireless phone and the business became more like a traditional phone company. It was time for me to move on. I wanted to pursue my interest in art and music. I had witnessed first hand the transformation of information and content to a digital world. One of my favourite artist's David Hockney had been doing some drawing on his iPhone and iPad. They had a wonderful quality and i thought I should give it a try so I started to take it with me on my rides around Vancouver. It seemed like the perfect medium to to capture the experience of cycling around Vancouver. I hope you get the picture.
I had the opportunity to participate in the Eastside Culture crawl. The weather was brutal but the response was warm.

Ireland's economic chickens coming home to roost
FIRST we gave the world the Celtic Tiger and now we have dubious honour of introducing the term 'Leprechaun Economics' into the economic dictionary.
Let us be clear, the Central Statistics Office's recent report that Ireland's GDP had experienced growth of 26 per cent - and the implications of this for Ireland's EU contributions -are disastrous. Any attempt by the Government to say otherwise is, at the very least, disingenuous. It is a crisis for the Department of Finance as it prepares a budget under never before seen political pressure and scrutiny.
However, it is a crisis of successive governments' own making and one that the mandarins in the Department of Finance should have seen coming a mile off.
The 26 per cent growth figure is, in the most literal sense of the word, incredible and it bears little relation to the real growth that has been seen in Ireland's real economy.
That, though, does not mean that the figure isn't accurate. What it really represents is the fact that Ireland's economic chickens are coming home to roost after years of dubious corporate tax policies.
While many in Ireland are loathe to admit it, across the world Ireland is seen by governments as a tax haven where government policy actively facilitates enormous multinationals in reducing their tax burden by billions every year.
Our reputation as a paradise for tax dodgers isn't quite as bad as the Cayman Islands, Bermuda or Switzerland, for example, but we are most certainly held in the same category.
Ireland has a highly skilled workforce but anyone who claims that our workers - and not our notoriously cheap and loose corporate tax regime - are the main reason so many major multinationals base themselves here are deluding themselves.
Our corporation tax regime has led to a situation where many of the world's biggest companies have reinvented themselves as Irish based firms so they can book all their global profits - which often run into the billions - here and avail of our cheap 12.5 per cent corporate tax rate.
These 'Irish' companies typically contract overseas firms to make goods whose Intellectual Properties are registered in Ireland. This means that while in many cases none of these goods are made in Ireland they are all included in our exports, another factor in calculating our GDP.
All this provides the Government with short term benefits in terms of limited additional tax, job creation and the momentary prestige earned by wooing prestigious multinationals to set up shop in Ireland. Unfortunately - as we have seen in the last few weeks - there is a major downside.
In a classic case of shooting the messenger many in Government have laid the finger of blame at the CSO. This is grossly unfair. The CSO is internationally regarded as one of the world's most proficient and accurate statistics agencies and has been specifically singled out for praise by the EU's own agency Eurostat. That the CSO's figures - which are accurate - do not suit the Government is not the CSO's fault.
Given how comprehensively Eurostat slapped down the Government's attempts to keep Irish Water off the state books last year, any change appears highly unlikely. Ireland's love of creative accounting has historically paid dividends but it seems our international friends and neighbours have finally lost patience.
Rather than heaping scorn on the CSO our leaders need to take some responsibility and deal with the fall-out.

Compton Law is an Oklahoma injury and medical malpractice law firm that handles most cases on a contingency fee basis. Most people wonder how they can afford an attorney to help them with their injury case, auto accident case, or medical malpractice case. When people have suffered these types of losses and have significant medical bills, lost wages, and other out of pocket expenses the last thing they can afford is paying an attorney's retainer fee.
A contingency fee basis means that our clients do not pay anything up-front and do not pay us an hourly fee. In fact, the very essence of a contingency fee means that the client will actually never pay the attorney. Rather, the attorney will receive a portion or percentage of the settlement or verdict when the case is resolved. Moreover, we fund and invest in each case by fronting the necessary cost and expenses. (which could be very significant). Finally, in the event we do not recover anything for the client the client owes us nothing.

Read and Play Community Recap/
Have you been checking out the Random House Community over at The Blog Frog? No? This makes me sad.  Oh what wonderful things you've missed! For starters, we've had Live Chats with Chris Raschka, Rebecca Stead & Clare Vanderpool, Mary Pope Osborne, David A. Kelly, John Stephens and we even had a Sesame Street Work Shop!
It's been a great experience for me to be knee deep in books once again. I'd forgotten just how much I love interacting with fellow bibliomaniacs and nerds alike. Â Not only have we had some very active Live Chats but, we have also had some great conversations. Â Among them:
And yesterday, I received this lovely collection of books that transported me back to my book buying days and brought a smile on to my face and a warmth in my heart that only the feel and scent of new books can bring.
The live chat yesterday was fantastic as we got to talk about the new Elmo's Big Birthday Bash app which is a Step Into Reading Level 1 book. Â It was very interesting and I've already downloaded the app on to my mamiPad and can't wait for the frog princess to sit with it.
If you're thinking "mami, why are you telling me this if we've missed it?" well you haven't missed all of it.  The community is still going to be around come May.  And I don't know how, but I am even more excited about May! Why you ask? Well, we will be talking to Tom Leveen, Judy Blume (YES! Can you say, Forever?), Tad Hills, Devon Kinch, Trudy Ludwig and Kate Klimo.
We will also have some great conversations about reading, fostering the love of books, printables and activities and a myriad of other subjects. Â Feel free to start your own conversation or, contribute to one that's already been started. We are here to help you with any questions you might have or just chat about books that you love!
I hope to see you there!

Symptoms of nonallergic rhinitis include chronic sneezing, postnasal drip and nasal congestion in the absence of an allergenic cause, while allergic rhinitis has similar symptoms but is associated with a known allergic reaction, explains Mayo Clinic. Itchiness in the eyes, nose or throat commonly occurs with allergic rhinitis, also called hay fever, but is uncommon in patients with nonallergic rhinitis. Fatigue may also occur due to nasal obstruction causing poor-quality sleep, notes American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
There are two main categories of allergic rhinitis: seasonal and perennial, states American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. Patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis experience symptoms in the presence of allergens that tend to be most prevalent during certain seasons, such as mold spores or pollen. Conversely, individuals with perennial allergic rhinitis have symptoms all throughout the year. Examples of allergens that commonly cause perennial allergic rhinitis symptoms include cockroaches, pet hair and mold.
Nonallergic rhinitis is a response to dilation of the blood vessels in the nose, causing blood and fluid to pool into the nasal lining, notes Mayo Clinic. There are numerous environmental irritants that can cause this nasal swelling, some of which include secondhand smoke, perfumes and dust. Changes in the weather, certain medications and foods, stress and hormonal fluctuations can also trigger nonallergic rhinitis.

Subscribe To PS4 Sales Expected To Be 50% Higher Than Xbox One, According To Report Updates
I've already subscribed
A new research survey report from Strategy Analytics' ConsumerMetrix poll has suggested that consumer buying trends are all but officially confirmed to fall in favor of the PlayStation 4 when it comes to purchasing decisions for this holiday season.
The report was let loose on a PR newswire, where the survey from Strategy Analytics gauged more than 6,000 participants to see what game console they intended to buy within the first twelve months of release: the Xbox One or the PlayStation 4.
Out of all the participants, 14.2% said they were likely to purchase a PS4 within the first year of its release, where-as only 9.5% of the participants said they were likely to purchase an Xbox One. According to Strategy Analytics, they state that the data "would imply" that the PS4 has a 50% edge over the Xbox One in potential sales.
Jia Wu, Director, Connected Home Devices (CHD) commented about the report, saying...
"Our survey suggests that consumers believe the PS4 will win the early phase of the next generation console war," ... "Sony's performance at E3 was widely accepted as superior to Microsoft's, and the survey evidence suggests this has already fed through to the wider consumer market."
Some core gamers feel Microsoft walked away the victor of E3, but the press conference was limited mostly to AAA titles of tried and tired formulas that we've seen a dime a dozen throughout the past generation. Sony, alternatively, gave us a brief look at a few of those tired AAA titles but also rolled out some truly innovative games that could appeal to male, female, little kids and older gamers alike. The general consensus beyond the CoD-philes and Halo fanboys is that Sony had the much more diverse and consumer-friendly press conference.
Pre-order sales data has also indicated that the PS4 has surpassed the Xbox One by a considerably large margin.
Ed Barton, Director, Digital Media Strategies also shared his opinion about the data, saying...
"There are still likely to be a few twists and turns before market launch,"... "Microsoft has already demonstrated a willingness to listen to consumer concerns and it will now need to leverage the retention power of Xbox Live and invest in exclusive games if Xbox One is going to recover from its poor showing at E3."
I think Barton means to say the poor showing at the May 21st reveal, the lack of exposition on the DRM policies at E3 and then a lot of strong-willed stubbornness to stand by those policies until those pre-order numbers rolled in that it became obvious that the Xbox One didn't have a cold snowy chance in Africa that the Xbox One would ever properly compete with the PS4 this holiday season at a higher price point and with anti-consumer features to boot.
After the behest of their poor pre-order numbers, Microsoft did the Xbox 180 and reversed their old DRM policies for the console, which in turn helped the Xbox One to move slightly more units off the pre-order shelf at both Amazon and GameStop.
The company has also tried fixing their poor image by recently reaching out to indies and changing a few more of their stringent publishing policies. How well this will translate into holiday sales still remains to be seen but if the numbers, the polls, the research data and the pre-orders are anything to go by, Sony has basically kicked their foot so far up Microsoft's bum that it has come out of their mouth and they're now walking down Success Lane while wearing a battered and beat Microsoft on their leg.

Yes, literally! We are watching our grass grow. Huge sigh of relief. We've had record rainfall SINCE we hydroseeded our lawn...it figures! So we've been nervous about if it would grow or if the seed was washed away.
Looks like it is surviving the rain! Today was incredibly beautiful. It was sunny with just those white fluffy cotton ball clouds floating by all day. Perfect for making the grass grow!
We went to the Post Falls Parade...the girls were in it with their cheer team. It was a perfect day for a parade. The weather was beautiful after the torrential rain we had all week!
Practicing while we waited for it to start...
Q showing her dance moves :-) and she has them! She's got some swagger!
CC wearing the pink! Gee, I remember the day...just a few years ago, when I asked her to pull her clothes out of the closet that didn't fit anymore. I came back later and found a huge pile of clothes...they were all pink! Now she lives in this pink shirt!
Both girls performing
Q wanted to keep this little cutie! She has a way with animals and small children! Maybe she will be a teacher an not a vet. I saw her working with the little ones at the gym. She was teaching them the cheer...man was she good!
CC basing...she would rather fly. And Coach Jennifer has a pyramid in the works...so she is happy to base right now.
We have so many pretty girls we have up here in North Idaho! Now we just have to keep the boys away!
This was only the start of our day. After the parade we went to North Spokane to a birthday party at a roller rink. Then back home to get food for our hungry chickens and ducks, DD put a window in their coop and swimming pool in the orchard while I worked in the vegetable garden. We didn't eat dinner till at least 8:30! Isn't there some saying about making hay when the sun's up...or something like that? Today, I think we made a huge share of hay!
It was an amazingly productive day, that by the end of it we are sunk into the couch exhausted!

an annuity check mailed to the TD customer's home address. Is there any way to have the check deposited without the incarcerated individual being present at a store at the time of the deposit?

In reply to Tim, Mount Laurel
Hi Tim. Thanks for reaching out to us at TD Helps.
The problem with making deposits on the account owners behalf would be that the check deposit needs to be endorsed by the a signer prior to deposit. We may not accept checks that are not endorsed. The issuing bank may also refuse payment on an unendorsed check.
If someone will be making these deposits for the signer while they are incarcerated, they will need to endorse the back with 'For Deposit Only' and it must be deposited into the payee's account. Please know that acceptance of check deposits not made by the account owner, is up to Store discretion.
If a court appointed POA is assigned with full authority to handle our Customer's finances, they should be able to endorse the check with 'For Deposit Only' and make the deposit without issue. .
If someone is assigned POA, please ask that person to visit a local TD Bank Store with their documents and photo ID to be added to the account. To find conveniently located TD Bank Store, please click here: https://go.td.com/1nq31dc.
We hope this info helps, Tom. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to give us a call 24/7 at 888-751-9000 or stop in to see us at any of our Stores.
Have a great day, Tim.

Los Angeles has an over population issue with dogs. There are thousands of dogs all over LA who are homeless due to overbreeding (legal and illegal puppy mills), birth control, as well as owners who can't or do not want to take care of their family pet anymore and surrender them to their local animal shelter or give them away on Craigslist (so bad).
In the 1980's LA's human population was at about 3 million, fast forward to now 2018ish, we are at 4 million. Lots of other mammals and creatures multiple too- companions.
So, I decided when I first moved here from Oakland, to make it my personal mission to help get these homeless and voiceless pups a chance to be seen to the general public via the internet through photography.
A few times a month I volunteer my time to take portraits of dogs at my local neighboring shelter, South LA Animal Shelter as well as help out any other rescues in LA, who may need some spiffy photos to help promote their dawgies get into a furever home!
Please click on links above photos below, to find out more of info on the organizations and spare a dolla if you got it- the humans behind these rescues need all the help they can. ty! godspeed.

Weird and totally DIY, Vibrations Festival brought music and art to the Volunteer Park amphitheater Sunday afternoon and into the evening.
Art projects and light projections joined "Choose Your Own Adventure"-style installations as bands and DJs took the stage to continue the run of the annual celebration of Capitol Hill culture that got its start back in 2011.
Acts Gazebos, netcat, Wimps, USF, Stickers, DJAO, Midday Veil, and Naomi Punk took the stage.
You can see the roster of participating musicians, DJs, and artists here.
The 2014 edition of the festival from music, art, and fashion concern Cairo pushed forward without a major corporate sponsor with help from a small army of support and lots of blood, sweat, and tears from dedicated producers:
We raised money for Vibrations in a few different ways this year, including all the awesome people that donated via the Indie Go Go campaign. We had a few fundraising parties and have some local companies that sponsored the festival. They will be at the festival with retail and food booths in exchange for their donation. We'd love to help get the word about Vibrations but also the great businesses that will be there who helped fund it. They include: Patty Pan Grill, Analog Coffee, High Five Pies, Six Strawberries, Kimberlin Silver Co., Rachel Ravitch, Blackbird, Herbivore Botanicals, Debacle Records, Vintage records by Beats and Bohos and Spin Cycle, Tarot with Hit the Deck Tarot and Aura Readings with Samantha Parrott.
Producers say that the support made it possible for a smaller budget-style Vibrations to move forward.
The free event in Volunteer Park followed the previous week's annual return of the Capitol Hill Block Party in Pike/Pine. Capitol Hill will celebrate its third music festival in three weeks this coming weekend as the Summit Block Party returns. You can learn more about Sunday's music and fun here. Here's a look at the 2013 SBP.
UPDATE: More free music — Linda's Fest is coming: It's been a hot, sticky summer, so we're gonna up the grime ante with a monstrous FREE rock party in the parking lot behind Linda's Tavern! On Saturday, August 23rd from 5 to 10pm, Linda's Tavern is proud to present our Fifth Annual Linda's Fest!

14 czerwca 2016
This year, beginning of July, I will be giving a Kundalini Yoga workshop in Serbia. For one week we will be practicing the Maha Ridhi Siddhi Kriya, which is a very powerful Kundalini Yoga technique for prosperity. This is a very unique and transformative kriya, which clears the subconscious from the hidden and blocked emotions and patterns, and adjusts human psychic to the state of prosperity, which is a natural state of every human being.
Several years ago I made this kriya my personal practice and I completed the full 365 days. That was the best practice I ever did myself! Later on, I have thought this kriya to my students only once. That took place in 2013 in Crimea. At that time the Crimea was still in Ukraine. And I have to state, that this Crimea workshop was the best one I have ever gave so far. Ever! During its classes I could feel the presence of Yogi Bhajan! I could also feel how the energy was burning peoples burden and karma. Yes, that was experience I had for the first time so strong, during my classes. And later on, at least several people have reported to me a significant change in their lives after the workshop.
I have never repeated this workshop again. I donŌĆÖt know why, but I think that this has something to do with Yogi Bhajan (my Kundalini Yoga Teacher). And, I guess, there was no space for it. When you are Kundalini Yoga teacher you need to follow the flow and adjust to the flow. And you need to serve. Because teaching Kundalini Yoga is not a business. This is your service to the people. This is how you give your gratitude to your teacher and the best way to elevate and to clear your own karma. So did I. Then, in 2015, I had the opportunity to give a several, short, yoga and astrology workshops in Serbia, Croatia and Montenegro. I have just gone with the flow. Now I have a feeling, that one of the reasons why I was spending my money travelling to Balkans was to prepare the space for Maha Ridhi Siddhi Kriya there.
I am astrologer. I am, however, the date for this workshop, now in Serbia, was not elected astrologically, but based on the calendar availability only – mine and my friend Danica, who organizes this workshop in Serbia. You can say, the date was chosen by coincidence. You are right, but you may also say that there is nothing happening in the Universe by a coincidence. And here you are going to be right too. Today, I was having my lunch at Schiphol airport in Holland, waiting long hours for the flight connection to Warsaw. So, tell me, please, what is each astrologer doing in spare time? He is never feeling bored, but watching the stars! In fact, not directly the stars but his astro-computer-program. And he is always amazed how the stars and the Universe is matching perfectly with what is going on here on Earth. So was I today.
I was thrilled when I looked over the asparagus salad at my Solar Fire! There will be a very powerful New Moon on July 4th ŌĆō so on the exact day, when we will start the kriya! The workshop starts on July 2nd in the evening, but we will have some preparation first to start smoothly the kriya on July 4th. Just exactly when New Moon is. And what is the New Moon? In astronomy, this is the first phase of the Moon, the moment when the Moon and the Sun have the same ecliptical longitude. In astrology, a New Moon is a symbolic point of attention, and a symbolic portal for new beginnings. New Moons are a great time to set intentions for things you'd like to create, develop, cultivate, make manifest. This is the best time to look at your goals and set the new ones. It is the opportunity to start and refresh your plans, your dreams and desires, to start a new project, new opportunity, newness in your life.
For those of you who are a bit familiar with astrology, you can, please, look at the chart below. This is the chart set for the time of this New Moon, on July 4th, 12:02, as seen from the Fruska Gora ŌĆō this is the mountain in Serbia when the workshop will take place. We can see here 4 planets: Sun, Moon, Venus and Mercury in the sign of Cancer on the cusp of the 10th house, opposite Pluto on IC. What does it mean? I will try to explain it in ŌĆ£normalŌĆØ words.
New Moon will appear on the edge of the 9th and 10th Houses, so this will trigger both, but with the special emphasis on the 10th House.
The 9th house rules expansion of the higher self and this is an occasion to expand our mind and life by exploring new ways of living, and new perspectives. This is the time when we feel more adventurous, when we feel that status quo is no longer satisfying us, and we want to do something extraordinary and want to push the limits of our minds. Our spirituality may undergo a change, as we want to explore our beliefs thoroughly and as much as possible and expand our horizons beyond the limits. And, as the 9th House is about a long distance travels, also in the non-direct sense, please note, that the Maha Ridhi Siddhi Kriya is not simply just a yoga practice. This is the journey. The journey beyond the limits.
The 10th House rules the career and life path and is perfect match for the prosperity kriya. So a New Moon here is a good start to a career advancement and a change in your life path. We will have the energy to do it! We can formulate the long-term professional goals now that are more realistic, attainable, and will help get us further in our job and life.
All this happens in the sign of a Cancer. This is the cardinal sign, what means that changes which may start as the effect of the practice are going to be radical and deep. Cancer sign is about our deep emotions and about our roots. It is about the very basis of our psyche and our emotional patterns and beliefs. The opposition to Pluto on Immum Coeli is like a cherry on the cake, because it guarantees deep transformation. Pluto in 4th House means radical and full renewal and transformation everywhere where it is necessary. Especially readiness to cut from all the unwanted roots and bad habits, and readiness for the cardinal personal transformation (inside and outside). Once we have the Pluto involved, we may be sure that after this 7-day process life will never be the same again.
On the top of it I will only add that the teacher leading this workshop has a very strong Cancer sign in his natal chart, what gives him a very strong advantage to guide you through!
