Amber Teething Bracelet or Anklet 5.3 inch by Baltic Secret
Some folks use these bracelets for teething relief for babies and toddlers but I use them for relief from aches and pains, like arthritis and lower back pain from lifting too much. For more pain relief, I use more amber necklaces and bracelets. I have a friend who has heart problems that make her chest hurt and when I had her wear my amber bracelet, the pain eased off.

Jadience Slimming Soak
I found an all natural herbal bath soak that is just what I needed and wanted. The scent is wonderful, as you breathe it in, you can feel the stress of the day leaving your body and mind.
This is a slimming soak that is promoted to help detox the body to stimulate the metabolism and encourage fat loss (for us ladies over 50, we can use all the help we can get in that area), and will also tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
I imagine that will take place over time and with continued use. For now, I am just thrilled to have a product I can use that is healthy and lets me unwind in the tub after a long day. Continue reading
GKHair Hair Taming System Conditioner
When I first opened the bottle of the conditioner, I saw that it was more like a cream than a lotion as the consistency was thicker. This meant it was going to be easier to apply as it wasn't runny and I would be able to apply it easier but putting some in the palm of my hand and rubbing my hands together.
To prepare my hair for the hair conditioner I needed to wash my hair with excellent quality shampoo.
It is best if you have the same brand of shampoo, but I didn't so I used what I had on hand and washed my hair twice to make sure it was squeaky clean. Continue reading

Burn-out #acnegone review
Hemp spray for removing acne scars and healing skin….naturally.
This is a metal bottle that has a spray solution in it that you use after you have washed and dried your face to be able to get the full effects of healing from it. The ingredients are Aloe Vera water, sweet almond oil, witch hazel, German blue chamomile oil, lavender essential oil, vitamin E oil, polysorbate, germaben II preservative, distilled water, melaleuca tea tree oil, elite fractionally distilled hemp extract (250 mg Canabidoil Complex), so you can see that there are a number of wonderful healing ingredients in this solution. There is a total of 2.7 oz in this misting spray bottle.
To use, you shake the bottle really well to mix up the contents and spray it on. I would test it on your wrist first, to see if you have any negative reactions to it, that's what I did. I have sensitive skin and had no problems.
There is an essential oil scent to it as tea tree oil does have a strong scent, but the lavender in the solution counteracts it. I thought it would have a consistency like water but it is more like dry oil. I sprayed it on the underside of my arm to test and expected it to pretty much dry to nothing but had a chuckle when my arms are sticking to my desk so it's interesting typing this LOL.
I would recommend using this at bedtime on your face or wherever you have acne or skin problems you are working on healing. It is easy to use and effective…and no, the smell does not soften and go away, it stays so don't try to use this and go out for the day, you are going to smell like tea tree oil – not unpleasant but it does have a scent like you used a household cleaner.

Love You A Little S'More Mug 11 oz
This mug has the cutest little saying on it and is well made – great for the
You know when kids are having a tough time and they just need to know you love them, no matter what?
That's what this mug is for. I have a little granddaughter who has been through the wringer ever since she got here to this earth.
Many hospital stays, lots of prayers and hard work and she is home, going to school and doing well, except…sometimes when she is having a hard day…….she just needs to know everything is okay and she is loved.
I tell her all the time but with this cute mug, she knows I love her with this darling reminder every time she goes to get a drink, especially when I am not there because we live far away from each other.
This sweet little mug is exactly what she needs to put a smile on her face.
It is well made and even if she accidentally knocks it off the table onto the floor, it can take it.
This is a good quality mug, not just a cheap dollar store type, and it is solid, sturdy and okay for kids to use daily.
The handle is just perfect for her to hold as it is comfortable and designed to be able to hang on to the mug without slipping because it is just the right size for her fingers to hold it.
Do you need one for your special someone? I got it here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZYJ1S8C Continue reading

This is a wonderful organic slimming cream that is healthier than many of the choices we have to lose belly fat and also tighten our tummy skin.

Unfortunately, many of the choices offered have chemicals that poison and damage our bodies while we are trying to help be healthier, so we have to stay proactive and make wiser choices in our purchases.

Photo by Tim Savage, no reproduction without permission.
I was always impressed that the VT editors designed how they wanted new suites to be kitted out. They were at the heart of any major fit-out. There didn't seem to be much 'getting a man in' to build you a new suite!
This photo is of the fitting out of VT E.
1 Comment
It looks to me like VTE which was built in the former Maintenance workshop. I don't recognise the guy with the drill. I think it was early 1980's when it was built and was equipped with 1″ VTRS in the adjoining room to the right of the picture.

This book opens with a bang and is an exciting and riveting read. It's both a historical mystery and a thriller, teaching the reader a little bit about Victorian London while still making the book an immersive experience that can be hard to leave. The policemen really have very little idea who is behind the initial murder, much less the ones that follow, and I loved learning what happened along with them.
McCreet's depiction of Victorian London is fantastic. The city is almost alive in this book. We experience mainly the seedy underworld through the eyes of both criminals and policemen, with a few excursions into more fashionable areas to liven the book up a bit. We visit the rooms of a retired prostitute, a circus show, a variety of pubs, and many other places which bring the setting truly alive. Books can allow us to live in another time for a few hours and this one certainly fulfills that job.
The characters were great too. In particular, I loved the two criminals, Noah Dyson and the murderer. Their shared past makes them interesting and a little more well-developed than the rest of the considerably large cast of characters. I couldn't wait for their final confrontation.

|BAGO by schude
At 4:01PM EDT today the Sun moves into Libra - a day with an equal balance of daylight and dark.
The Sun begins to fall (weakens) as we move into longer nights and shorter days. It is the opposite down under (the Sun begins to strengthen). Western astrology is based on the Northern hemisphere where we move into Fall - which is not only about leaves!
I have had a few emails from people linking me to videos about the end of days (meaning the end of all our days!) being 9/23. But don't fill up the credit cards just yet folks. I could imagine the end of civilization, maybe some kind of ice age, coming during the Age of Capricorn. But we have a couple thousand years of the Age of Aquarius between us and then.
I know we are mostly exhausted, but let's not give up just yet. Saturn has been stopped for a long time and this is really zapping many people's drive. There have been losses and roadblocks and it is going to take work to get to where we want to be. It is like we are saying to ourselves, "I see these possibilities over THERE, but they are going to take alot of work and I am tired and not sure I want to do it anymore." Let's use nature's cycles to realize whatever it happening in our own life is a cycle, too. It seems that whenever the energy starts to feel like this - those doomsday prophecies are picked up by the news.
Don't forget we are all in this together. Even at times when it feels like we are all alone! Sometimes we just need to be shaken so our resting energy is provoked. Maybe we are like that bottle of ketchup and would get all clumped up without some agitation.
If we have tripped or "fallen" maybe we could try thanking this 'trigger', this 'benchmark' for what we are learning. I know it is hard to do that! And I have to somewhat spit those words out right now myself - sorry if I hit you!
But imagine a life where everything went our way all the time. Would we really want that? And we know we don't, because if we collectively did, we would have that. This doesn't mean we want whatever is happening to us to happen to us when things go wrong - but the more we focus on what we don't want, the more "don't want" there is to focus on.
The Sun in Libra is excellent energy to focus on beauty - where is the beauty in our life?
Can we use all these laser-focused planets in Virgo to see (Mercury), feel (Venus) and touch (Mars) the real beauty in our lives? Can we see the beauty in the stories behind our wrinkles and gray hairs? Can we see how the stories make those lines and twisted follicles beautiful? And now that we have seen that in ourselves can we see the beauty in other people's scars and blemishes, too?
We still have alot of inner planets in Virgo so the Virgo practicality and putting one foot in front of the other will still be a focus, but now the Sun (our life force) shifts into the sign of balance, compromise, relationships and fairness.
A light (the Sun) will be shone on what is out-of-balance or what is unfair, particularly within relationships. The curtain is drawn back and our Libra houses (and their themes) wake up.
In some ways, because Libra is about weighing things out (nothing is cut and dried here like the wheat during Virgo season) things are harder when the Sun is in Libra. Libras sometimes (not always) appear wishy-washy, but it is because they were born between Summer and Winter - they can see both sides of everything!
With the Sun in Libra we will all be burning Libra fuel. We move ahead through balance, compromise and through our relationships with other people.
We move into the shadow of Libra when we are passive-aggressive, pouring pink paint on garbage and pretending it is a Barbie dream house and putting what everyone else needs/wants ahead of ourselves thus building deep pockets of resentment that will explode all over us and everyone else by the time we get into Scorpio season. These are our no-no's now. Keep an eye out.
(the North Node is still in Leo - oxygen mask on our own face first)
Write your Autumn bucket list. What do you want to do, see, experience? Think about that.
xo all

Snow day
Today in London we had the heaviest snow for 18 years.
School was closed so no work for me and Henrik could
not get to work cause there were no trains.
We had fun with our friends on Primrose Hill all day
and then came home, drank hot chocolate and got cosy.

Click Here for Views from Top of Yost Van Dyke
On September 3, 2007, I hiked up to the top of Yost Van Dyke, one of the many very cool places in the BVI. White Bay on this island is one of my daughter Sarah's favorite places in the world. The hike up to the top is brutal in the heat and humidity, but well worth the trek! Plan to have good hiking shoes and bring plenty of water!

The online portal to the latest developments in laboratories and laboratory equipment
Thursday, 13 January 2011
Fast response times to temperature change are as critical in nature as they are in the laboratory
When it comes to temperature control of a process, fast response times can be just as critical. With a temperature range from -120 to +425°C, Huber Unistats are designed for demanding temperature control applications where reliability, predictability and tight control are a necessity in a constantly changing reaction mass. Critical process temperatures can be maintained despite mixing, ingredient addition, exothermic and endothermic reactions. The result of precise temperature control is increased yields, reduced resource consumption and lower running costs.
To demonstrate the rapid response times of the Unistat temperature control systems, Huber produced over 200 case studies which show how effective thermal transfer results in very rapid heating and cooling times.

Earlier this month, I was knocked head over heels by a little inspiration, care of Catherine from Shadow Dog Designs. Catherine is a veteran Pinterest user, and when she shared a favorite pin of a beautiful panther chameleon photograph on Facebook, I was lucky enough to be there to see it.
This charming creature has the most amazing rainbow coloration, and the bumpy lizard-skin is so akin to beads that it was totally irresistible. You know that moment when you see something and just have to bead it? It was love at first sight, and must have been meant to be, because everything just fell into place.
I knew right then that I would have to find a way to turn the photo into beadwork, and it was in the back of my mind for days. It was the lime green spots especially that caught my eye, and I was grieving the fact that I didn't have any opaque sour apple seed beads to match. Fortunately, there was a big vial waiting for me on my bead shopping trip last week!
I actually put off starting the design a lot longer than I needed to. I was completely stuck on a pattern, or a method for getting the same array of colors in an organic way. I considered drawing myself a diagram to follow, but where to begin? And if I did that, would I even be able to follow it, or perhaps would it hinder the beadwork by being too rigid? Finally, I made a really simple chart that included all of the colors in the proportions that I wanted, just as a reminder of where I might want things to be placed, so I wouldn't forget to include certain color combinations. I put the start point - the eye of the chameleon - off-center, to get a more natural, less perfect look. I ended up ignoring the chart after about 4 rounds of stitching, and just going on instinct, and it turned out just right.
Once I had a design plan, I gathered up all of the colors that I would need to recreate panther chameleon skin, including both of the opaque vials that I had just purchased. The palette also includes pepper red (not as purplish as the real thing, but a great contrast for the lime) plus dandelion yellow, shamrock green, and lustered coral for orange. I chose cyan to be the main color for my piece, and to help with the lizardy texture effect, I used two shades of turquoise - one lustered and one AB - and alternated them whenever two or more turquoise beads were side by side.
My color choices for felt backing were limited to brown, black, and dark blue. I went with the brown, because it's natural looking and complements the turquoise nicely. I like how it looks, although I almost wish that I had known ahead of time how I was going to finish this piece. I was so excited about the beadwork, I didn't think enough about the end result.
The variety of bead sizes (10/o, 11/o, and 12/o), combined with really snug stitches only added to the bumpy texture, and really gives the medallion personality. Normally I would examine every stitch and lament at those that don't line up perfectly, but for this piece, flaws are beautiful.
About halfway through the embroidery, I decided that I wanted to use a multi-strand base, and even though I had accent beads for the extenders that perfectly match the beadwork, I wanted to do something a little different this time around. Instead of matching my clasp chains to the multi-strand section, I thought it would be fun to have a completely neutral backdrop, and did it almost entirely in jet black. I needed a little something more than just seed beads and druks, but with no other jet black accent beads at hand, I chose a handful of dark teal coconut heishi instead. I like the way the hint of color peeks through, and highlights the intense colors of the medallion.
Many, many thanks to Catherine for passing on such fantastic inspiration! I highly recommend checking out some of her inspiration boards for gorgeous photographs galore.

In my last blog post, I discussed the difference between the conscious vs the subconscious mind. In this post, I offer 10 easy and fun ways to receive and work with your own internal subconscious messages.
How the subconscious mind reveals messages
The subconscious mind records vast amounts of data that is taken in through the central nervous system and stored energetically in your body and energy system. This data both forms and informs your body, all the way down to the cellular level, even affecting the expression of the DNA.
You can become aware of and work with the messages, wisdom, and programming of your subconscious in a variety of ways for they are continuously being revealed to you on many levels. Some ways in which your subconscious mind speaks to you is through bodily sensations, behavioral patterns, emotions and emotional responses, symbols, dreams, impressions, and intuitive "hits".
When you begin to notice and work with your own internal images and messages, you have access to the seed place where data is stored, and where it can also be altered or changed. Learning to work with the insightful and inherent knowledge of your subconscious mind allows you access to a greater range of your human experience.
Ways to access the messages of your subconscious mind
There are a variety of ways to learn to notice the messages the subconscious is sending you about your identity, place in the world, your struggles and fears, as well as what your Soul is trying to accomplish in your life. Learning to see, receive, and hear these messages gives you access to a greater depth of personal understanding.
Listed below are 10 of my favorite ways to receive messages from my subconscious mind.
1. Open yourself to the realm of feelings and emotions
Suppressed or "unprocessed" emotion is like frozen energy. It gets locked in a place (typically your body or energy system) and doesn't move. Until it is processed, it can create energy blocks, emotional blocks, and a drain on your system.
Opening yourself to feeling emotions, both "positive" and "negative" allows the energy of emotion to move and evolve and for you to claim the truth of your experience. It also offers clues as to where you are placing your energy and the ability to notice if your needs are/are not being met.
Many times, when you are feeling something emotionally painful, it is a signal to begin evaluating what your personal needs are and how they can be met in a way that is healthy and nurturing. Feeling your emotions is a way of claiming your experience and honoring your deeper truth.
2. Practice tools to calm and center yourself
When you are feeling anxious, panicked, or afraid, your central nervous system kicks into high gear preparing you to fight or flee. This sends stress hormones pumping into the bloodstream, and affects physiological functions such as hormone balance, digestion, and reproductive function as the body prepares for action.
The pace of our current society is very demanding. Many of us are constantly under some kind of deadline, feel financially insecure, have difficulty or painful family lives, feel the strain of societal pressures, or live in a constant state of anxiety or fear.
Living long term with this kind of constant assault can be quite harmful to the body, not to mention the toll it takes on the mind, physiological system, and spirit.
One of the best ways to alleviate and alter the fight or flight mechanism is to practice relaxation or meditation. Being in a relaxed state 20 minutes a day reverses the fight or flight response and allows the body to access the relaxation response. This allows for brain function to improve, stress hormones to decrease in the blood system, the hormone system to regulate and balance, and overall well-being to improve.
There are many ways to achieve the relaxation state and it does not matter which approach you take. Some ways of relaxation are deep breathing, progressive relaxation, meditation, guided meditation, hypnosis or self-hypnosis.
Find a method of relaxing that works for you, and practice it regularly. When you practice conscious relaxation on a regular basis, it resets the body and mind to function in a more consistently relaxed state. It also makes it easier to access a more relaxed state during periods of high stress.
3. Keep a dream journal
Keeping a dream journal is a wonderful way to notice patterns or themes in your dreams. It's also a way to begin to notice what your subconscious mind is processing from the day.
As you keep track of your dreams, you may notice that you process material from the day in your dreams, and you also may begin to find both subtle, and not so subtle, messages from your heart and Soul as to who you are, what your inner being wants for you, or what is in store. Dreams can be powerful messages; keeping a dream journal can illuminate the deeper material of your subconscious mind.
4. Commune with and Nurture your Inner Child
The energy of your inner child hosts a significant amount of your most vital life force. Connecting with the innocence, purity, imagination, and creativity of your inner child is a way to tap into this life force. It also offers clues as to your life purpose and what brings you the most joy.
Remember back to when you were a child; what did you love to do? How did you love to spend your time? What excited you and inspired you?
Find ways to allow your inner child to play in your adult life. This may mean that you have to let go of perfectionism and allow yourself to be "messy" and try new things. This is a wonderfully fun and joyful way to connect more deeply to your authentic essence and experience greater joy.
5. Engage in the arts: music, poetry, writing, theatre, sewing, painting, etc… whatever your heart loves
There are multitudes of ways of engaging in the arts; you can watch a movie or go to an art gallery or museum. You can take a dance class or read poetry. You can go to a concert or the symphony, or take lessons on that instrument you've always wanted to learn.
Allow yourself to explore what speaks to you. The power of being in the moment, actively engaged in the creative process, being open and vulnerable what you are creating and a part of is one of the greatest joys in life.
Engaging in the arts allows you to recognize your own inner myths and stories through identification with the medium you are exploring. It allows you to experience your life in a new way, adding a deeper texture to your personal reality. It also allows you to step out of your box and try something new which opens the door to greater confidence, trust in yourself and joy.
6. Be in Nature
Mother Nature is the wisest of all teachers, elegantly displaying the most glorious of lessons. Spending time with her, in whatever way you can, is both a gift and a necessity to return to the roots of your own being.
It is "from the earth" that all life is born and sustained. As human beings, we are a part of nature itself. From Mother Nature you can learn to appreciate beauty, simplicity, and gentleness, as well as destruction and movement. From the rhythms of the earth come lessons of letting go and being in the "seasons of life".
Spending time in nature will not only nurture and renew you, but it will offer you ways to connect more deeply with your heart and Soul; for the rhythms of the earth are also the rhythms that pulse in your own body. Your body naturally follows the rhythms of the earth and as you begin to notice and pay attention to how your body responds, you may notice that different seasons fill you with unique sensations, ideas, or longings. These sensations, ideas and longings are revelations from your subconscious mind reminding you who you are
7. Utilize Visualization
Whether you know it or not, you are highly skilled at the art of visualization! If you can worry about something, long for something, daydream, or ruminate about the past, you are using some form of visualization.
Your inner talk, daydreams, worries, and longings all produce images and/or sensations in the body that communicate messages from your subconscious mind to your conscious mind. For example, if you have an upcoming presentation, meeting, or conversation with someone and you feel somewhat unprepared, you may begin to notice a vague sense of anxiety or fear. You may see yourself running late or stumbling over the material. You may find yourself not sleeping well, or resisting preparation for the event.
But if you are able to stop and allow yourself to receive, accept, and honor the impressions and messages you are receiving from your subconscious mind, then you are able to respond from a place of personal power. As you work with these clues that reveal how you are feeling and what you need and want, then you are access the opportunity to begin working with these internal messages.
Personal power comes from the ability to respond from a place of choice. Breathing in peace, confidence and a sense of security and using visualization to work with your internal images and impressions provides you the opportunity to feel more secure and prepared. This can be a very powerful way to transform your inner experience and lay the foundation for the outer manifestation of the experience you desire.
8. Receive Body Work
You are barraged with a vast amount of sensory input each day. Auditory input consists of sounds from the radio, computer, or television as well as your environment including the hum of the refrigerator, traffic on the street, or construction outside. Visual stimulation is also all around and includes lights, signs and flashing advertisements.
All of this auditory and visual input, combined with focusing your energy on your mental stream of consciousness can culminate to create a disconnect with the physical body.
Receiving bodywork such as massage, Reiki, cranio-sacral therapy, or other body-centered treatments allows you to focus your awareness upon the sensations and impressions of the physical body. When you take time to focus on the physical body, either through physical touch or internal sessions, it allows for a two-way communication with your own physiology. This gives you the space and time to receive messages and input from the body so that you can more easily nurture, care for, and support the amazing body that does so much for you everyday.
9. Cultivate a Spiritual practice that affirms Love
Regardless of what faith, practice, or tradition you follow, cultivating a Spiritual practice that affirms love is a powerful way to begin to recognize the truth of who you are.
Working with loving virtues and principles allows for a deeper sense of personal acceptance and security. The more you love, honor, and accept yourself, the more you are able to be exactly who you are and express that in the world.
Practicing love, acceptance and compassion towards yourself and others allows you to see the places within you that are longing for even greater love and joy. It also helps you to live your authentic nature in all that you are and do.
10. Allow yourself to listen to and trust your inner voice, guidance, and impressions
Listening to and trusting yourself is the most important tool in the treasure trove of tools that I am providing here.
Within you lies the answers to all of the questions you seek. If you aren't receiving answers to the questions you are asking now, there is a reason for it. Perhaps now not the time for an answer to be revealed; or perhaps there is chaos in your outer or inner life that is blocking you from receiving the answer. But the answers are there, and in the perfect timing and way, they will be revealed.
Your gut instincts, your impressions, and the quiet voice inside are your compass for navigating your life's journey. Learning to receive, interpret, trust, and act upon your own inner knowingness paves the pathway for greater joy and freedom because you are self-directed. When you reference your own internal compass to guide the journey of your life, you truly are the captain of your own ship. Nothing is more liberating than living an authentic life that is orchestrated by the movement of your Soul.

a new framework for a new politics
With all the talk about the end of spin, consitutional change and restoring trust, maybe we could explore a framework of values which would enshrine a contract of trust between citizens and their representatives. Meg Russell, in her Fabian Society pamphlet "Must Politics Disappoint", proposes a charter, which all politicians would be required to sign up to:
"• Frankness about the purpose of politics: Admitting that politics is hard, that
tough choices have to be made, and that not everyone can win all the time.
Celebrating the centrality of debate, negotiation and compromise.
• Carving out a distinct political sphere: Making clear that parties and politicians
are not products in a market, that politics is governed by different rules, and
that citizenship can fulfil human aspirations that consumerism cannot.
• Offering political leadership: Acknowledging that, whilst politicians must of
course be responsive to voters, it is also their role to spell out the big choices
facing society.
• Making values explicit: Explaining the vision that underlies policy and how this
underpins particular decisions. Resisting the 'catch-all' party by admitting that
action is guided by values, and spelling out what these values are.
• Honesty about constraints, including the financial constraints within which
policy decisions are taken, and the responsibilities of others, including citizens,
to play a part in bringing about change.
• Being prepared to show fallibility: Admitting mistakes, explaining changes of policy and stating when an answer is unknown or impossible to give.
• Rejecting opposition for opposition's sake: Being prepared to state when politicians from other parties are right. Not attacking opponents unless an alternative course of action is clear and achievable, and not getting trapped
by journalists into knee jerk opposition.
• Responsible campaigning: Avoiding both exaggerated promises and corrosive attacks on the opposition.
• Defending political parties: Not forgetting how all current politicians arrived in
office, and being explicit about how parties' continued health is essential to
the system.
• Not exploiting lack of voter trust: Perhaps most important of all, not seeking short term gain from the current culture of disengagement. Respecting the integrity of opponents and resisting allegations of dishonesty or corruption except in the rare and isolated circumstances where these are justified. Instead promoting politicians – including those of opposing parties – as hardworking
individuals driven by a sense of duty and belief in building a better society.

Elaborate Clay Oil Lamp Roman Syria 100AD $199.99
Genuine Roman/Syrian Terra Cotta Oil Lamp 1st Century A.D.
CLASSIFICATION: Roman/Syrian Terra Cotta Oil Lamp with Sunburst Design, Handle, and Cedar Tree "Trademark" on Bottom.
ATTRIBUTION: Eastern Roman Empire (Syria), 1st Century A.D. Perhaps produced in the Roman Province of Phoenice (present-day Lebanon).
Length: 75 millimeters (3 inches)
Width: 53 millimeters (2 1/8 inches)
Height: 30 millimeters (1 1/4 inches).
CONDITION: Excellent. Very fine integrity, no cracks, breaks, or repairs. Professionally conserved (cleaned and sealed).
DETAIL: This is a very nicely preserved terracotta oil lamp dated to the 1st century A.D. Its origin is Syria under Roman occupation. Syria was an important Roman Province, and the capital city of Antiochia was second in importance only to Rome itself. The style of the oil lamp and the trademark beneath indicate that the lamp originally came to Syria as trade goods from what is present day Lebanon, part of Roman Syria's Province of Phoenice. The top surface of the oil lamp portrays a very ornate sun burst pattern which was extremely popular in ancient Rome. Many bronze pendants are recovered done in a similar style, a stylized sunburst with orbs at the end of each ray. The rather intricate sunburst encircles the fill hole. There is a raised handle at the rear. The design present on the top, as can be seen, is even after the passage of almost 2,000 years, still quite sharp and distinct. Though by no means rare, it is uncommon to find such a nice design in such an exceptionally well-preserved state.
Oil was filled into the center hole, and a wick placed into the front hole and then set ablaze. You can see that there is a fair amount of soot residue around the wick hole, obviously this little lamp lit the interior of an ancient Roman household quite frequently. As well there are a few spots of brownish oil residue as well, almost a baked on glaze, some areas possessing more layers than others resulting in slightly patchy coloration. Such characteristics are of course consistent with use. Perhaps these signs of wear might be disappointing, but keep in mind that a lamp which is almost 2,000 years old was more than likely used. In fact, were it to show no signs of use it would be quite suspect. Aside from the slight wear and tear consistent with its use in ancient Roman Syria, it is otherwise without defect. It is quite sturdy and well made, truly a beautiful piece of ancient art.
Of course the most historically significant about this specimen is the very bold and wonderfully executed "trademark" on the underside of the lamp. It was not uncommon for the artisans who produced these pieces to leave some sort of "trade mark" on the underside of the pedestal so as to identify it as their produce. You can see here a marvelously distinct trademark image consisting of a cedar tree encircled by palm frond fringe and two limit lines around the fringe. It is a very complex signature, quite ornate when contrasted to the normal trademark. One can't help but be struck by the similarity between the tree depicted here and the cedar tree depicted on the flag of Lebanon. Best as our research can determine, it seems probable that this little lamp was produced in the Roman/Syrian Province of Phoenice – present-day Lebanon. Cedar was highly valued in ancient Phoenicia as well as in ancient Egypt, and was exported from Phoenicia (known in the Bible as Canaan) to Egypt for over 2,000 years. The lamp has been cleaned, and sealed with a protective, inert, organic compound designed to protect it from the ravages of today's acidic industrial atmosphere. Properly displayed, it will be one of your family's heirlooms for generations to come.
HISTORY: Pottery is amongst the most abundant artifacts unearthed during excavations of Roman sites. Abundant throughout the empire, specimens such as this were even routinely and systematically exported by the Romans. Manufactured throughout the empire, from Gaul to Italy, the product was widely distributed throughout the Mediterranean world and the Roman colonies from Britain to Asia Minor. Pitchers like this were utilitarian implements both for the kitchen and dining table. Most terra cotta pieces such as this were functional kitchen items, and tended to be rather plain. The most widely used pottery in the ancient world were oil lamps, bottles, unguentariums, pitchers, bowls and plates. Their basic shapes remained unchanged for over a thousand years. The bottles and pitchers were used to store wine, water, oil and other liquids.
One of the greatest civilizations of recorded history was the ancient Roman Empire. In exchange for a very modest amount of contemporary currency, you can possess a small part of that great civilization in the form of a 2,000 year old piece of jewelry. The Roman civilization, in relative terms the greatest military power in the history of the world, was founded in the 8th century (B.C.). In the 4th Century (B.C.) the Romans were the dominant power on the Italian Peninsula, having defeated the Etruscans and Celts. In the 3rd Century (B.C.) the Romans conquered Sicily, and in the following century defeated Carthage, and controlled the Greece. Throughout the remainder of the 2nd Century (B.C.) the Roman Empire continued its gradual conquest of the Hellenistic (Greek Colonial) World by conquering Syria and Macedonia; and finally came to control Egypt in the 1st Century (B.C.).
The pinnacle of Roman power was achieved in the 1st Century (A.D.) as Rome conquered much of Britain and Western Europe. For a brief time, the era of "Pax Romana", a time of peace and consolidation reigned. Civilian emperors were the rule, and the culture flourished with a great deal of liberty enjoyed by the average Roman Citizen. However within 200 years the Roman Empire was in a state of steady decay, attacked by Germans, Goths, and Persians. In the 4th Century (A.D.) the Roman Empire was split between East and West. The Great Emperor Constantine temporarily arrested the decay of the Empire, but within a hundred years after his death the Persians captured Mesopotamia, Vandals infiltrated Gaul and Spain, and the Goths even sacked Rome itself. Most historians date the end of the Western Roman Empire to 476 (A.D.) when Emperor Romulus Augustus was deposed. However the Eastern Roman Empire (The Byzantine Empire) survived until the fall of Constantinople in 1453 A.D.
At its peak, the Roman Empire stretched from Britain in the West, throughout most of Western, Central, and Eastern Europe, and into Asia Minor. Valuables such as coins and jewelry were commonly buried for safekeeping, and inevitably these ancient citizens would succumb to one of the many perils of the ancient world. Oftentimes the survivors of these individuals did not know where the valuables had been buried, and today, two thousands years later caches of coins and rings are still commonly uncovered throughout Europe and Asia Minor. Roman Soldiers oftentimes came to possess large quantities of "booty" from their plunderous conquests, and routinely buried their treasure for safekeeping before they went into battle.
If they met their end in battle, most often the whereabouts of their treasure was likewise, unknown. Throughout history these treasures have been inadvertently discovered by farmers in their fields, uncovered by erosion, and the target of unsystematic searches by treasure seekers. With the introduction of metal detectors and other modern technologies to Eastern Europe in the past three or four decades, an amazing number of new finds are seeing the light of day 2,000 years or more after they were originally hidden by their past owners. And with the liberalization of post-Soviet Eastern Europe, new markets have opened eager to share in these treasures of the Roman Empire.
The antiquities offered were originally part of a collection accumulated throughout most of the twentieth century. The Roman artifacts were found principally in Romania (literally "land of the Romans"), Bulgaria, Libya, and Syria. The Sumerian artifacts were unearthed in both Turkey and Syria, which along with Iraq and Iran constituted the majority of the sites of the ancient Sumerian civilizations. The Egyptian antiquities were part of a collection amassed in the mid-1960's, at the height of Soviet influence in Egypt. As well, additional specimens are occasionally acquired from other institutions and dealers in Eastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean.
These antiquities come from a number of collections which by and large originated here in Eastern Europe. As well, additional specimens are occasionally acquired from other institutions and dealers, principally in Eastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean. All of these artifacts are now in the United States and are available for immediate delivery via U.S. Mail. All purchases are backed by an unlimited guarantee of satisfaction and authenticity. If for any reason you are not entirely satisfied with your purchase, you may return it for a complete and immediate refund of your entire purchase price.
A certificate of authenticity (COA) is available upon request. Artifacts are mailed from the USA. Due to its fragile nature this particular piece is only shipped in an oversized box with lots of Styrofoam peanuts. The cost for shipping this item includes delivery confirmation (you can track your shipment on-line at the USPS Web Site). Additional items shipped together do result in a discount. The shipping weight of this item is 1 pounds. Various rates for shipping both domestically and internationally may be viewed here.

Flores banned following Espanyol fracas
MADRID - Atletico Madrid coach Quique Sanchez Flores was handed a two-match touchline ban on Tuesday after losing his temper and clashing with Espanyol players during his side's 3-2 home defeat in La Liga on Saturday.
The Spanish football federation punished him with one game for receiving a straight red card and another for his unruly behaviour, the ruling body said in a statement on its website.
Sanchez Flores raced to the touchline to confront Espanyol midfielder Javi Lopez for what he saw as time-wasting and a lack of respect and clashed with opposing captain Luis Garcia before being dismissed from the bench.
He had to be restrained by Espanyol goalkeeper Carlos Kameni and other players and officials when he tried to confront Garcia again after the final whistle.

Shounen ai is the genre for boys love manga and webtoons. It's different from yaoi because it's suitable for people under 18 (meaning there's no sex involved). These are my top 3 shounen ai series.
These are very sweet and cute series. There's no rape involved at all. I say this because a lot of yaoi series have rape scenes, which is unfortunate. Not only that, but a lot of BL series have poor representation of LGBTQ+. I am referring to older series, so I'm hoping that with time there will be better representation and CONSENT! I'm not saying that those series should not exist because I'm not one to police what people should or shouldn't read – it would be a good change for sure though.
1. Here U Are – Ongoing, by Chinese author DJun
Most people think that LiHuan is scary-looking because he is very tall, which is why he does not have many friends. He's also not very sociable. YuYang enters his life because his job is to welcome the new university students and the two get along quite well.
The art is phenomenal. Every panel is in colour and the way the author DRAWS. FACIAL. EXPRESSIONS. aaaaaaaaa
Every panel is carefully planned. I am a fairly quick reader so I usually zoom through comics but when I read this, I have to slow down to absorb all the details. The faint blush, the way LiHuan looks at YuYang!!
LiHuan treats YuYang extremely well. The pacing is quite slow, but it's worth the wait.
2. Cherry Blossoms After Winter – Ongoing webtoon, by Korean author Bamwoo
Haebom's parents passed away when he was very little, and he's been living in his mother's friend's house. Taesung is his age and they live under the same roof. Haebom is shy and often gets picked on by others. Taesung, on the other hand, is very popular at school.
I read this before I watched My Hero Academia, but I have to say this. Haebom is so similar to Izuku and Taesung is so similar to Todoroki. If you ship Izuku with Todoroki, then you will like this series!
I like this series because Taesung never bullies Haebom. In fact, he treats him very well and protects him too.
3. Hidamari ga Kikoeru – Ongoing manga, by FUMINO Yuki
Taichi is a college student looking for work, and he meets Kouhei, a student with a severe hearing disability. Despite rumours, Taichi believes that Kouhei is a good person for sharing his lunch, and befriends him. Taichi becomes a note taker for Kouhei, in exchange for bento lunch.
This is one of the more realistic manga I've read, which is rare to come across. They become very good friends and their relationship is so pure. There are some sad moments, which adds onto the realistic element of living with a disability.

text: Today, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Epiphany or showing/manifestation/revelation. The word comes from the Greek and means literally "to draw back a veil;" to uncover. In this day, the veil is drawn back on a great mystery, that Jesus Christ is the Savior not only of the Jews, but also the Gentiles, as well. It is God's will that all be saved. This is the theological meaning of this Feast. God invites all to share equally in the benefits of the salvation won by Christ. In Christ, all have become part of one body, as Paul tells us in his letters. This is a happy Feast! It is an inclusive Feast! We who were once outsiders are now insiders. We who were once aliens have now drawn near and are now part of God's own household.

Biafra Protest: Police Releases Statement Of It's Readiness To Handle All Excesses Of IPOB/MASSOB
The Command warned pro-Biafra agitators against unlawful activities following the May 30 sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The State Commands gave this warning in separate statements issued on Monday, May 29.
Speaking with newsmen ahead of the planned exercise, Anambra state Commissioner of Police, Samuel Okaula, said the Police were battle ready for anyone who is out to take the law into his hands.
According to the police boss, "We have always been prepared for this type of situation but one thing remains clear, we want to assure the people of the state to go about their lawful duties and businesses.
"There is no cause for alarm and I can assure you that all the black spots have been taken care of.
"We have enough manpower on ground and we have deployed them effectively to take care of all flash points.
"I don't expect anybody to prevent people from going about their lawful businesses. I will not allow anybody take laws into his hands. Anyone who does will definitely see the full wrath of the law," Okaula said.
The Commissioner said the Command was determined to maintain the security position of the state as the safest in the country.
He warned that "those, who have decided to make life unbearable for others should be prepared to face the consequences.
"We have achieved a lot to contain crimes and criminalities for the people and business to thrive; we shall not allow these elements to set us back again."
On its part, the Enugu State Police Command has advised members of the public to disregard such order and go about their normal lawful business.
The command also urged law-abiding members of the public to watch out for any person or group of persons under any guise and who will come to intimidate, threaten or force them to shut down their offices or shops.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer, Ebere Amaraizu, the command in partnership with other sister security agencies and relevant bodies had put in place adequate machinery to fish out those in this habit and bring them to book.
He further advised those intending to carry out this unpatriotic and unlawful act to change from this "as the command working in partnership with other sister agencies in the state will not sit and fold its arms to see innocent and law abiding citizens of the state being molested or threatened by any person or group of persons."
TTB had earlier reported that the IPOB had declared a sit-at-home on May 30, saying it was to remember those who lost their lives during the Nigerian Civil War.
In a similar vein, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council (OYC) has said it will hold Acting President Yemi Osinbajo responsible should anything happen to pro-Biafra agitators as they protest on May 30.
''There are fears over alleged plans by security operatives to open fire on the agitators who shall be observing a sit-at-home to mark the 50th year of Biafra declaration.
''It is on this premise that the OYC has said that "Ndigbo shall hold Osinbajo responsible as the Acting President of Nigeria should anything happen to any of our youths", reports DailyPost.
OYC's assertion was made in a press statement made available to journalists, which was signed by the groups's deputy national president and the national scribe, Dr. Arthur Obiora and Mazi Okwu Nnabuike.
"We shall not take lightly the spilling of the blood of any Igbo man today because these are non-violent agitators and their agitation is protected under every known law.
"As a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, is very much aware of the constitutional rights of these agitators and he should therefore not allow himself to be used as an instrument to suppress lawful expression of opinion.
"He should, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria call all security agencies to order to ensure that they do not engage in mass murder.
"We have had enough of this mindless killing of our people and we are not going to take it again this time," OYC said.
The group called on Igbo traders and workers to comply with the sit-at-home order of the pro-Biafra groups, stressing that "the international community is watching; so, if we can show unity as a people, if we can show solidarity with Nnamdi Kanu and Uchenna Madu, the leaders of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, respectively, the United Nations and other international organizations will not just accord us respect but help us in pushing for a referendum."

The city of Los Angeles has honored Loyola Marymount University with the first-ever Platinum recycLA Star Award for its sustainability efforts, including the university's on-campus recycling center.
recycLA is the new recycling and waste collection program for commercial and large apartment buildings throughout Los Angeles.
"Sustainability has always been a key part of LMU's operations, from on-site recycling to solar panels and LEED-certified construction," said Lynne Scarboro, LMU's executive vice president and chief administrative officer. "We teach students not simply to care for the environment, but to help create the world we want to live in, and the university's commitment to making our campus as green as possible shows that. We're proud and humbled to receive the recycLA Platinum Star award from the City of Los Angeles."
The recycLA Star Award recognizes business and apartment owners who embrace recycLA's recycling, landfill diversion, and food rescue opportunities. RecycLA Stars are actively engaged in food recovery, changes in materials sourcing, composting and making other contributions to landfill diversion, beyond increasing recycling. Award recipients can receive the Green, Silver, Gold, or Platinum level award.
"We're proud to award LMU the City's very first Platinum recycLA Star," Board of Public Works Vice President Heather Marie Repenning stated. "Not only is LMU setting the standard in environmental sustainability, it is getting students involved and creating lasting habits that will benefit the City of Los Angeles well into the future."
LMU has an impressive recycling rate of nearly 84 percent. The University recycles more than 6,000 tons of materials annually, with on-site recycling and food waste programs that turn food and recyclable paper into nutrient-rich soil enhancements.
From 2011 to 2017, LMU reduced its food service disposal and diversion tonnage from 101 tons to 33.7 tons, a reduction of more than 65 percent in total food service waste in just six years. Through its Office of Sustainability, LMU also employs more than 20 paid student employees and supports numerous internships, research, and service credits for academic work.
"LMU is a shining example of what is possible when we work together and put the cleanliness and health of our City first," said Enrique C. Zaldivar, LA sanitation director and general manager. "Through recycLA and organizations like LMU, we are quickly making landfills a thing of the past and moving closer to achieving zero waste."
LMU has been recognized nationally for its sustainable practices. In 2017, the university received the national Grand Champion Diversion award from Keep America Beautiful's RecycleMania competition – the nation's premier waste-reduction and recycling competition among colleges and universities. Other recognitions include being ranked one of the top 10 "Cool Schools" by the Sierra Club and receiving the Green Restaurant Association's (GRA) 4 Star ranking for its two main dining facilities.
In July 2017, LA Sanitation launched an unprecedented expansion of its recycling services beyond single family residences through its program, called "recycLA." With the rollout phase complete, LA Sanitation and recycLA service providers have transitioned more than 70,000 commercial and apartment building accounts to the new program. The city has set a goal of "zero waste" by 2025.

JOHN SCOTT - This well known and highly esteemed citizen of Cartwright township, whose home is on section 34, devotes his time and energies to farming and stock raising and in his undertakings is meeting with good success. He is a native of Sangamon county, born in Island Grove township, January 14, 1855. His father, David Scott, was born in County Tyrone, Ireland, and there his boyhood and youth were passed. In 1848, when a young man, he came to the United States, and the following year took up his residence in Sangamon county, Illinois, where he was married, in 1851, to Miss Martha Blair, a native of County Antrim, Ireland. For a number of years they made their home on a farm in Island Grove township and then removed to Morgan county, Illinois, but at the end of ten years returned to this county, the father purchasing a farm in Cartwright township, on which he made his home until called to his final rest in March, 1896. His wife still survives him and resides with a son in this county. This worthy couple were the parents of eight children, of whom John is the eldest son, the others being James, who died April 27, 1904; William, a farmer of this county; Thomas, whose sketch appears elsewhere in this volume; Robert, who lives on the old home farm with his mother; Charles D., who died in October, 1900, after reaching manhood; Mary, wife of John L. Funk, now of Butler county, Kansas; and the youngest, who died at the age of eight months.
During early life John Scott went to Morgan county with his parents and with them returned to Sangamon county ten years later. He is indebted to the common schools of this state for the educational privileges he enjoyed during his boyhood and youth, and under the able direction of his father he gained a good knowledge of all kinds of farm work. He remained under the parental roof, assisting in carrying on the home farm until twenty-nine years of age. After his marriage he located on the farm in Cartwright township, where he now resides, and after renting it for several years he bought one hundred and sixty acres in 1891 and one hundred and twenty acres in 1902. In connection with the operation of his own land he is engaged in the cultivation of about four hundred acres more. The improvements he has made upon his farm are of a good, substantial character, and the neat and thrifty appearance of the place shows the owner to be a thorough and progressive farmer. For the past ten years he has made a specialty of the breeding and raising of stock, feeding on an average of two carloads of steers and a large number of hogs annually. He has found this branch of his business quite remunerative, and in all his undertakings he is now meeting with good success.
On the 12th of February, 1884, in Island Grove township, Mr. Scott was united in marriage to Miss Charlotte Wilcox a native of that township and a daughter of William Wilcox, who came to this county in 1823 from Kentucky and died here in 1882. Two children bless this union, John M. and Mary, both at home.
The Republican party finds in Mr. Scott a stanch supporter of its principles, but he has never cared for political honors, preferring to devote his entire time and attention to his business interests. As most of his life has been passed in Sangamon county, he has been an eyewitness of her growth and upbuilding, and in the work of progress and advancement he has ever borne his part as a useful and enterprising citizen. He is widely and favorably known as a man of sterling worth and he well merits the confidence so freely accorded him.

Although this blog will of course keep our public informed about the latest doings at Eabla Records, its more noble aim is to offer free downloads of rare music to you and yours.
Each Eabla release will be accompanied by downloadable songs that aren't available anywhere else. When possible, we also intend to produce PDF scrapbooks for our artists, comprising photos, ephemera, &c. How long we'll leave these giveaways up remains to be seen, but they won't be permanent. So gather ye rosebuds while ye may, for old time is still a-flying.
In between releases, we'll offer obscure tracks more or less at random, either because they relate to our ongoing research into specific vanity labels, or just to be neighborly. Again, grab 'em while they last!
If you like what you hear, please consider striking a blow for commodity fetishism by buying our CDs. It takes a fair amount of time and money to run a reissue label; in some cases, tracking down an artist, getting his or her permission, and finding and restoring the tapes can cost as much as — or more than — pressing the discs! Also, we believe that our marginal titles cry out for large, informative, nicely illustrated booklets, which tend to exact a heavy toll in cash, strength, time, and patience.
More to the point, a number of the people whose music we'll be releasing either lost money, or made very little, during whatever passed for their heyday. If you buy our CDs, we can pay them, and thereby tip the scales of the universe ever so slightly towards Justice. You can be certain that they'd do the same for you!
We're currently working on several vanity-pressing reissues, the titles of which will be announced here as soon as the details are settled. In the meantime, we may as well admit that we intend to reissue a fair amount of material that was originally released on, or otherwise related to, the Amarillo and Nuf Sed labels, most of which has never been released on CD. For instance, we expect to release lavish retrospective CDs by World of Pooh, Zip Code Rapists, and Glorious Din within the next several months. Sales of these attractive items will, we hope, help to fund our other, more complicated archaeological projects.
That's plenty for now. Thanks for dropping in, and be sure to check back often!

It's amazing how fast our kids grow. I'm reminded of that each time I finish a dress for my daughter, Rachel.
This is my variation of Australian Smocking & Embroidery's One Fine Day from Issue No. 72 in Fabric Finder's "bouquet of pansies" lawn. The smock design is an original by, well, me!
Somewhere in a Martha Pullen publication, I read that it was a tradition to layer a girl's clothing such that a slip with a color would shadow through a lightweight dress. We thought this was a fun idea, and Rachel wears this dress with a pink slip below it.


text: A trip to the SF MOMA called for a green bomber for the windy weather and a neutral wool shirt to keep me cozy, yet coordinated. I bought these distressed jeans from ZARA which I absolutely love because even the hem is destroyed. Of course, a dad hat makes any outfit casual, yet cool.

Utilize Your Chronotype to Overpower Those Work Blues
Yes, there's actually a best time to do everything: from scheduling a meeting to asking for a raise—even binge-watching Netflix. We all have an internal clock that ticks to its own beat, influencing when we're most productive and most prone to sleep. Yet few people harness their natural rhythms for maximum work efficiency.
So what's a chronotype?
Everyone has an internal circadian rhythm and chronotypes are the identifications of these rhythms. Chronotypes are genetically pre-determined. There are four chronotypes: dolphins, who are light sleepers and commonly suffer from insomnia; lions, who tend to wake early with lots of energy but get exhausted by early evening; bears, who track the rise and fall of the sun and need 8 hours of sleep each night; and wolves, who are most energetic in the evenings and don't like mornings. How can you tell what chronotype you are? The easiest way to self-select is through a couple of questions. For example, when do you start getting tired in the evening? Lions get tired between 9:30-10:00PM, bears get tired between 10:30-11:00PM, wolves get tired at 11:00PM or later, while dolphins are insomniacs and are usually tired all the time. Dolphins can be determined by process of elimination. About 55% of the population are bears, while lions, dolphins and wolves are about 15% each.
How Do your natural rhythms affect your eating habits?
Your meals are your guideposts throughout the day. If you can eat at the right time, it really keeps your chronotype on the right rhythm. The more consistent you are eating lunch at the same time each day, the better. Dolphins and lions should eat lunch at noon, bears at 12:30PM, and wolves at 1:00PM. Lions should have a mid-morning snack around 9:30AM, since they eat breakfast so early, while everyone else should have a snack between lunch and dinner.
How can you take advantage of your natural rhythms in the workplace?
One of the classic things people screw up at work is scheduling meetings at the wrong times. Monday morning is not the right time for meetings, because people have social jet lag from the weekend, plus they have to plan the week ahead. The only people who are good at 7:00AM on Monday are lions, and a lot of managers are lions. If you can have a managers-only breakfast meeting, lions are fine with it. For everyone else, have a lunch meeting. Then, think about what is required of different work products. If you work at an ad agency, there are two sides: creative and business. Some 75% to80% of super creative people are wolves. You should have extended office hours for them. 8:00PM is when their juices are flowing. For selling ads, you want lions who get up early and get out there, because by 3:00PM they're toast.
What's the best time to ask for a raise?
People become more positive as the week goes on. Monday is not a positive day. Friday is a very positive day. Also, later in the day tends to be better. By 2:00PM, most people are in a good mood. If you can determine your boss's chronotype, coordinate your request with his or her peak pleasantness and, therefore, peak receptivity to your request. Lions' pleasantness peaks at 2:00PM, dolphins' at 4:00PM, bears' at 6:00PM, and wolves' at 8:00PM. If your boss is a lion and a lot of bosses are —you don't want to show up at 4:00PM on a Friday afternoon to ask for a raise.
How do these chronotypes affect us outside the office?
A lot of people don't start watching TV until late at night. All of a sudden, you look up and it's 1:00AM. Sleep is not an on-off switch. If you don't show up on time, you might miss your window. If at all possible, you don't want to binge-watch past 10:30PM. Bears and wolves have to be super careful binge-watching during the week, because they'll stay up too late and it'll crush them the next day. For dolphins, the best time to binge watch is between 10:00AM to 2:00PM and for lions, it's 7:00PM to 10:00PM. For bears, it's 3:00PM to 9:00PM on weekends; for wolves, it's 5:00PM to 11:00PM on weekends.

Go West Hi-Lites #2
From a motorcycle diary Skip Hunt Go West!
"It was the forth of July in South Fork, Colorado when I left. Everyone seemed very excited about all the activities, parades, BBQ, fireworks, etc. Although I'm not a big crowd person, I have to admit to a little sadness when I left there. All that "family" stuff looked enticing, but at the same time... I don't do any of that stuff when I'm home either. So, down the road I went and enjoyed a beautiful stretch of highway winding all the way to Mesa Verde.
As I glided through a couple mountain passes I was getting all patriotic about the U.S. and how beautiful some of it is indeed. Even the people, when they're not manipulated by characters who's agenda is nothing more than dividing folks and generally shills for corporate interests masquerading as being "of the people".
Soon, I was passing through Pagosa Springs. There was a detour around main street because they were having a giant Forth of July parade and had blocked off the main road through. Oh great! I get to see a parade after all. While I was boiling there on my bike, waiting for make-shift trailer floats to pass and people with there children all dressed up for the parade... stumbling like patriotic zombies right in front of me without a clue that there was traffic trying to pass, etc. I uttered to myself, "Get out of the way you bunch of nitwits! Can't you see this is a road with traffic on it?!" So much for my patriotic tendencies toward the regular folks. ;-)"
