Great news for the tragically hip in Nashville: Morrissey has rescheduled his Ryman appearance for March 29th! According to the Ryman's website, all original tickets for the canceled Jan. 29th date will be honored. Lauren and I were devastated when the Jan. 29th show was canceled due to Moz's bleeding ulcer. Thank goodness he's back in good health, though! We'd heard rumors that the tour would be rescheduled for the summer with Patti Smith opening… but I guess one could only dream of being so lucky as to witness such an amazing bill…
In case you've been under a rock recently, Caitlin Rose has a brand new album ready to drop March 5th. I've heard nothing but good, good, and more good about it. And this new song "No One To Call" makes me even more excited about this album than the last teaser track "I Was Cruel." Stream it below and pre-order the vinyl here and receive a free digital copy of the album on March 1st. DO IT.

Check out the new track "Summer's Dead" below:
As you should know, this Satuday is National Record Store Day. Record stores (you know, the places you can actually walk into and touch a real album and buy it… imagine that) across the nation will be having huge special sales, and labels and artists across the nation have pressed limited edition vinyl releases, usually 45s, that will only be available at a record store, on Record Store Day. There are tons of awesome happenings here in Nashville, the biggest being Grimey's "big ass outdoor sale." They have a killer lineup of live music slated for the parking lot, and they always have tons of used records and CDs on sale for super cheap. Check out grimeys.com for the full lineup and schedule. East Nashville's The Groove also has a killer lineup of bands playing on their backyard stage, and you can get most if not all of the official RSD exclusive releases there as well. Check their website for the full lineup and schedule. Those are the only two doing performances that I know of, but The Great Escape might be doing some sort of sale. There's no mention of it on their website, however. Third Man Records will of course have lots going on in the way of sales and limited releases, etc… however they do not have live performances this year. (How can they possibly top Jerry Lee Lewis last year?)
Secondly, the flyer above is for a show that includes my band, thus a bit of shameless self promotion:
Come see Scale Model, Anchor Thieves, Century Club, and The Goldroom at The End Saturday night after all your RSD shopping/festivities! Anchor Thieves are releasing a free CD single, and Nashville's own Griffin Technology will be giving away free RSD themed iPhone 4 cases. Find out more about Scale Model, the Goldroom, and Century Club (ex-Carter Administration) at their respective bandcamp pages. RSVP on Facebook here. Cover is only $5, show starts at 9:30pm, and the beer is cheap. Come party with us!
Formed by former members of We Were The States, Echo Group is a new band poised to take Nashville's music scene by storm. I've listened to their free EP Chalktalk Record Collection several times and simply can't get enough of it. (If you haven't already, hit play on the player above. Go ahead- DO IT. Then download it for FREE at their website.) It's perfectly produced with just the right percussive touches and liberal yet tasteful use of reverb to give everything a Spector-esque 60's-throwback tinge. I simply can't get enough of the triumphant horns on "Supra" and the sexy sax on "Don't Don't Don't." They're also releasing a split 7″ via Right Nice Records with local noise rockers Mom & Dad which features the track "Work It." Mom & Dad are already creating some good buzz around town, though I've yet to see them live. While I can appreciate the intent of the noised-out/heavily distorted production value of their recordings, it's honestly a little too noisy and distorted for my taste. I'm quite positive I'm going to love these guys live, however, because they have some seriously awesome songs under all that fuzz.
They are celebrating the release of said split 7″ this Thursday at the brand new High Watt stage in Mercy Lounge. My band Scale Model opens the show, so of course I STRONGLY urge you to come and come early! The show will start promptly at 9pm and is only $5 to attend. We all have short sets and promise to get you home in time for bed on a weeknight. 🙂

Ranch Ghost 7″/By Lightning Video
February 22, 2012
Some cool things to report about two great new local bands:
- Ranch Ghost is awesome. They're possibly my favorite "newish" local band. Their scrappy, catchy, jangly, hook-laden garage-pop hits all the right buttons on my musical palate. They have a limited edition 7″ that is available for pre-order through Jeffery Drag Records. You can stream the songs at their bandcamp. Love these guys soooo much.
- New local supergroup By Lightning! just played their album release show this past Saturday (my pics and the Spin review are up at the Cream) and followed it up by releasing a very cool animated music video for the first "lead single" off the record- "Weather." Check it:
Tristen needs your help to press a Christmas 7″
November 10, 2011
UPDATE: Tristen made her goal not long after I posted this, but you should still buy the 7″ when it comes out!
You've probably already seen this in a few other places, but it's a cool thing that deserves repeating:
Nashville's budding startlet Tristen loves Christmas, so she recorded her own version of 3 of her favorite Christmas songs and needs your help to put it out on vinyl. As awesome as vinyl is, it's really damned expensive to produce, so many lesser-know bands/artists have a hard time coming up with the dough for the up-front costs. So Tristen has started a Kickstarter campaign, and is asking for your help in making this Christmas 7″ a reality. Check it out, and help her out. She's a rad gal and is one of the best local acts in the game right now, so let's make this thing happen, eh? Watch the video below and click here to donate.
The Summer of The Features
May 11, 2011
As reported today on the Nashville Cream, Nashville/Murfreesboro's hometown heroes The Features are prepping for the release of their 3rd full length album Wilderness on July 26. Their last album Some Kind of Salvation was simply fantastic, but this next one seems as though it will be the "perfect" Features record. I've heard absolute rave reviews from the first few local folks who got a promo copy to review, and hopefully *ahem, Rory/Rollum/somebody* I'll have one to review soon as well. I can remember having a somewhat drunken conversation with producer/vacuum tube wizard Brian Carter one night at Mercy Lounge late last year in which he excitedly said something like "this is the record the guys and I have always wanted to make." Basically I get the feeling this album was done the way the band wanted to do it, where they wanted to do it, and with whom they wanted to do it. Mad props to the Kings Of Leon for signing them to their own 429 Records and allowing the band to do what they want, when they want, and how they want.
Building up to the release, the first of probably many promotional items to whet our appetite is a 7″ single with the track "Rambo" b/w "This Much I Know." The video above it a promo for that release, set for May 31st.

Lili Reinhart & Camila Mendes' Response To Being Photoshopped Is A Lesson In Self-Love
Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge are not about to be part of perpetuating unrealistic body expectations. Riverdale stars Lili Reinhart and Camila Mendes' responses to being photoshopped for the cover of Cosmopolitan Philippines are must-reads. As reported by E! Online, Reinhart shared the retouched images and the actual images of herself and co-star Camila Mendes on her Instagram Story, alongside a kick-butt statement about why seeing her body distorted without her permission made her so angry. Meanwhile, Mendes shared a statement of her own, stating that she wants readers of the magazine to know the body on the cover is not her's and it's not one they should be struggling to attain. Bustle has reached out to Cosmopolitan Philippines for comment, but did not receive an immediate response
Reinhart has always been vocal about having no time for body shamers, and whether it's a Twitter troll or a magazine, she's happy to call them out. According to Refinery29, she wrote on her Instagram Story,
"Camila and I have worked incredibly hard to feel confident and comfortable in the bodies that we have. It's an everyday battle sometimes. And to see our bodies become so distorted in an editing process is a perfect example of the obstacles we have yet to overcome. So we cannot stop fighting. Our battle has only just begun. We are f*cking powerful, beautiful, and strong… we aren't going to hide behind photoshop to conform to your beauty standards."
Mendes' statement reads,
"@lilireinhart and I feel disrespected and disturbed by the sight of our photoshopped bodies in @cosmopolitan_philippines. We want their readers to know that those bodies are not ours; they have been distorted from their natural beauty. We prefer to see our bodies as they actually are. I'm not interested in having a slimmer waist, I'm more than satisified with the one that I already have."
Since the actors have spoken out, the magazine appears to have removed the photos from Instagram.
Photoshopping someone's picture without their consent is problematic all on its own, but it's even more troubling when the person in question has struggled with body image issues in the past. In a Feb. Instagram post, Mendes opened up about how dieting and weight loss had become an obsession for her. In her post, in which she explained why she was done with dieting, she wrote, "I'm done believing in the idea that there's a thinner, happier version of me on the other side of all the tireless effort."
The 23-year-old also works with Project Heal, an organization that helps people who are struggling with eating disorders. In October, Mendes shared on Instagram that she had struggled with eating disorders in the past, and she understands how difficult it is to come out on the other side of the illness. Given her history, Mendes' words about photoshopping and being happy in her body just as it is are even more powerful.
Reinhart's experience may be different from Mendes', but she's dealt with the internet discussing her body image in the past. As reported by People, in 2017, a Twitter user expressed "concern" over the actor's weight. Reinhart's response? She tweeted, "Thank you so much for being concerned about my weight, I'll respond later after I finish my double cheeseburger."
As young actors in Hollywood, Reinhart and Mendes are likely to face pressure from the industry and the public to fit a certain image. However, their response to seeing their images photoshopped speaks volumes. These two women have worked hard to get where they are and to love themselves, and they're more than willing to speak up when anyone tries to make them feel less than when they know that they're perfect just as they are.
Their expressions of self-love in the face of being photoshopped to appear thinner are not only important for them, they're also invaluable to their many young fans. The message Reinhart and Mendes want to send to the world appears to be that unrealistic beauty standards should have no place in your life, because they certainly don't in theirs.

Microtubule dynamics rely on the properties of tubulin and are regulated by microtubule-associated proteins. GTP-tubulin assembles into hollow polymers, which can depolymerize upon GTP hydrolysis. Depolymerizing microtubules may stop shrinking and resume growth. Such rescues are regulated by microtubule-associated proteins like CLIP-170 and the CLASPs [1, 2]. Microtubule domains prone to rescues contain discrete regions (previously termed "GTP islands") that retain a GTP-tubulin-like conformation in the main body of the microtubule [3]. However, the exact nature of these domains and the mechanisms controlling their occurrence and distribution are largely unknown. Here we show that collisions between growing microtubules and mechanical obstacles (including other microtubules) in vitro result in the higher abundance of GTP-like islands in stressed microtubule regions. Furthermore, these islands were found to be efficiently generated by both lateral contacts and mechanical constraints applied to the main body of the microtubules. They were also particularly prominent where shifts in the number of protofilaments occur in the microtubule lattice. GTP-like islands and rescues frequently co-occurred at microtubule intersections in vitro and in living cells, both in crossing and in crossed microtubules. We also observed that CLIP-170 recognizes GTP-like islands in vivo and is retained at microtubule crossings. Therefore, we propose that rescues occur via a two-stage mechanism: (1) lattice defects determine potential rescue-promoting islands in the microtubule structure, and (2) CLIP-170 detects these islands to stimulate microtubule rescue. Our results reveal the interplay between rescue-promoting factors and microtubule architecture and organization to control microtubule dynamics.

The last stop on our amazing honeymoon adventure...Engelberg, Switzerland!!
We spent our first day in Engelberg just walking around town and looking at all of the cute shops. We ate a late lunch downtown...raclette is a must have when you're in Switzerland...it's so yummy!! After our late lunch, we toured the abbey. The abbey was gorgeous!! It was built in 1120....and it's still a functioning abbey!!
The tours aren't in English, but they do offer you a paper copy of the information in English. So Neil and I just read the information as we walked around the abbey. After the tour, we grabbed some snacks at the grocery store and just relaxed at our hotel for the evening.
|Engelberg Abbey
On our second day, we took the Brunni lift. The owner of our hotel recommended that we take the lift up to Ristis and then hike up to Brunni. She then recommended that we hike from Brunni to Rigidalalp to Rein to Hinter Horbis. She said it would be an easy hike with a lot of pretty views....she was right!! Such a wonderful afternoon hike!! We even found a little restaurant to eat a small lunch at...gotta love a bratwurst!!
|Hiking down from Brunni
Our third day in Engelberg, was the busiest and the best!! It was the only day with really pretty weather so we wanted to make the most of it. We woke up pretty early and took the first bus over to the Titlis lift. We read that it gets really busy later in the day because tourists from the other towns will come to Engelberg just to visit Titlis. So we took the first lift up and made sure to beat the crowds!!
|Hanging out at the top of Titlis
Once we were at the top, we walked straight out to the Titlist Cliff Walk!! The Titlist Cliff Walk is the highest suspension bridge in all of Europe..and the view is amazing!! After the suspension bridge, we headed inside to the glacier cave. It's cold inside but it's super neat!! We grabbed some food inside, enjoyed the views, and then decided to head back down the mountain. The lady at our hotel was right, Titlis isn't someplace I'd spend the whole day at...it's really fun for about 1-2 hours and then you're done.
|Getting ready to walk across the Titlis Cliff Walk
On the lift down, we stopped at Trubsee to do the Four Lakes Hike!! Such an easy and pretty hike!! Probably one of the prettiest hikes I've ever done!! Neil read some great tips online...we took the lifts up the mountain and then we'd hike down...hahaha. It made it easy, we still got to see all of the great views, and we made better time!! We stopped at the second lake and enjoyed a nice lunch. After lunch we decided to head back to Trubsee. We wanted to make sure we had plenty of time to catch the last lift down...we didn't think we'd have time to visit the 3rd lake and make it back in time. What a beautiful way to end our honeymoon though...we absolutely loved Engelberg!!
|Four Lakes Hike
Where to stay in Engelberg??
We stayed at Hotel Garni (info here) and it was perfect!! It's a lovely family run hotel and the owners were super helpful!! We had planned to follow the same agenda as Travel Gretl in her youtube video (link here)...but the owner of the hotel sat us down and basically helped us build a better itinerary. We originally thought we would spend a whole day at Titlis and she was like "No, you'll be bored...you only need an hour or two there. Plus the lift up to Titlis and the Four Lakes Hike is the same lift. Do it on the same day to save money...the Titlis lift is very expensive." She then recommended some other hikes for us and helped us plan which day we should do which activity based on the weather. She was SSSSOO helpful!! Completely changed our trip around!! Also...just an FYI...she was right the Titlis lift is about $100 per person!!! OMG!! So glad she took the time to check in with us and give us all of those recommendations. Also...since we stayed in Engelberg we got a certain percent off of all of the local attractions. Most people just drive into Engelberg for the day, so they like to give incentives for people to actually stay in town.
|Our Hotel in Engelberg
How long to stay in Engelberg??
We spent 3 days in Engelberg, which was plenty of time for us. I think it could easily be done in 2 days though.
|Glacier Caves
How to get around Engelberg??
We flew into Zurich and then took the train to Engelberg. The trains are super easy to use in Switzerland and it didn't take that long to get to Engelberg. Once we were in Engelberg, we took the (free) bus to our hotel. The bus dropped us off a few blocks away from our hotel, so we didn't have to carry our bags very far. We took the free bus a lot but we also would walk into town without the bus. It really wasn't far...just depended on where we were going and how tired we were. We also took the lifts up into the mountains. No need to rent a car...it's very easy to get around by walking and using the bus!!

In which Moorice makes for a Trumpian Friday ...
5 comments:
- GrueBleenJun 22, 2018, 9:24:00 AM
According to Mooorice, when comparing America to the G6, "The US economy is bigger than all of them combined ...". Yes, it is, but if you consider the G6 as kind of representative of the European Union (plus Canada), then here (below) is some comparisons.ReplyDelete
Comparison of GDPs in US$ Trillions:
America 20.4 Euro Union 19.6 (IMF)
America 18.6 Euro Union 16.4 (World Bank)
America 18.6 Euro Union 16.3 (United Nations)
Population (millions):
America 324.5
European Union 446 (excluding Britain)
So yes, Moorice is bigly right: in every possible way America is just the biggest and the best (except for China, of course).
But otherwise, Moorice: "...leading British historian Niall Ferguson"
Oh yes, Moorice, and just what exactly is he leading ? A long walk off a short pier, perhaps ?

Hi Dorothy,ReplyDelete
After the Cambridge Analytica revelations, Facebook and it's CEO Mark Zuckerberg came under much overdue scrutiny by governments worldwide.
In the US, Zuckerberg was forced to face tough questioning in a two day congressional testimony.
Zuckerberg was also forced to appear before the European Parliament to explain his company's actions.
In the UK, which is undergoing the political turmoil of the results of a Brexit poll, a vote which may we'll have been unduly influenced by Facebook data, Zuckerberg has simply ignored a demand of a formal summons to appear before a Parliamentary Committee.
Some difference in attitude.
The Multinationals (or more accurately Transnationals) and their cheerleaders like Moorice are overjoyed that trading blocks and large nations are Balkanising, as it's much easier to walk all over the little minnows than to have to negotiate with the big fish.
- AnonymousJun 22, 2018, 11:23:00 AM
And it might not just be the Transnationals who are happy with the subversion of the democratic process.Delete
- GrueBleenJun 22, 2018, 1:36:00 PM
I dunno about the Facebook data and Brexit, DW, it mostly seems to have been the hysterical fear-mongering of the organs of the far-right (Murdoch) press plus the constant preaching by far-right political figures (Farage, Johnson etc) combined with the unconscionable fellow travelling of May and her clique.Delete
I really do feel that the Cambridge Analytica thing is considerably over-rated, but I just don't have a lot of strong evidence to support that.
- AnonymousJun 22, 2018, 11:58:00 AM
Other journos 'spout' words. Moorice generously gifts them, presumably. Where would all we reptile groupies be if any of the slithery ones had an ounce of self-reflection?ReplyDelete

text: HomeMusicBassDrum & BassYung.Raj – Steppin Stoned [EP] Rajrishi Murthi April 22, 2019 Drum & Bass, EP, Footwork, New Release Hyderabad-based producer and beatboxer Yung.Raj has been making all the right noises within the independent music community in India over the past several months. And as the talented act continues to push forward with his solo project, he has now released his latest EP, 'Steppin Stoned'. Fresh off the recent drop of his 'WaterPipe Dreams' EP which was unveiled back in February, Yung.Raj's newest body of work sees him explore the realms of footwork and DnB inspired sounds as faster BPMs come into the spotlight. Led by dance-friendly grooves, the upbeat and melodious cut 'Light Out' makes up for a refreshing listen as a welcome shift in pace gives way to 'Rose Tint' up next which has a delightful dose of bass to offer to its listeners alongside its loopy blend of synth-heavy goodness. On 'Lifted', Yung.Raj gets to showcase a much more free-flowing side to his production abilities as glittering synths and its footwork inspired approach manages to please a whole lot of us. Towards the back end of 'Steppin Stoned', Raj makes a statement with two dancefloor stompers as 'Ruff Sound' and 'Supatroopa' push out waves of energy with their buzzing, low-end heavy frequencies. Listen to 'Steppin Stoned' by Yung.Raj below.

What Is Credit?
Credit, in the sense of borrowing money, is your reputation with lenders for repaying your debts. There are many instances when credit comes in handy or may even be necessary. To manage your credit wisely, you need to understand what credit is, what credit reports are, how scores are generated, and why credit is useful.
What Is Credit?
Credit refers to borrowing: your ability to borrow, the amount you can borrow, and whether you make your payments. Credit scores tell lenders how likely you are to repay your loans, which helps them decide whether or not to approve your loan request and how much to charge.
Your credit score is made up from information about your borrowing history. Most of the information comes from your credit reports.
What Is a Credit Report?
Credit reports are a collection of information, including:
- Loans that you've used in the past (generally the past seven years, although there are exceptions)
- Loans that you're currently using (including any unused lines of credit)
- How much you've borrowed
- Your required minimum monthly payments
- Your payment history—have you made late payments, or are you always on time?
- Public records such as bankruptcy or foreclosure
- Any loans in default or in collections. Defaulting occurs when you do not make payments on your loan after a set amount of time. Collections is when the lender sells your loan to a collection agency, who then works to recover the amount from you.
Your credit report is the master document that's behind your credit. Based on that information, lenders decide whether or not to offer you a loan.
When a lender wants to see your credit report or get your credit score, they request it from a credit bureau (also known as credit reporting agencies).
Under federal law, you are allowed to view your credit reports for free at least once per year.
Credit Bureaus
Credit reporting agencies collect all of the information that appears in your credit report. They are information warehouses, but they might not keep as much data as you think. For example, your annual income is not part of your basic credit report.
Reporting agencies distribute or sell that information when you apply for a loan, or when a request is made (such as an employer or landlord, who need your permission before a report can be released).
There are numerous credit bureaus, but the "big three" (TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian) have the greatest impact on your credit. It's essential that the information in each credit bureau is accurate—if there are errors in your credit reports, you'll have to work to fix them.
Credit Scoring
Credit bureaus store information on hundreds of thousands of consumers with all of their financial history listed. Credit scores are numbers generated by a computer program that reads through your credit reports. It looks for patterns, characteristics, and red flags in your history.
Based on what the program finds, it calculates a credit score. Scores are easy for lenders to interpret. For example, credit scores above 720 might get approved automatically; scores between 650 and 720 may receive higher interest rates; lower scores may not receive approval.
While federal law gives you free credit reports, it does not guarantee free credit scores. However, you can buy credit scores from credit bureaus, and there are several ways to see your score for free. Note that there is more than one credit score available, such as FICO or Vantage.
What Is Credit Used For?
Borrowing money: This is the most common use of credit scores.
Insurance coverage: Insurers check your credit to determine whether or not to cover you, and at what rates. They use insurance scores that are slightly different from standard lending scores.
Employment: Some employers check your credit, although you need to give them permission to do so. Presumably, they're trying to determine if you are responsible.
Utilities: To get services such as electricity or water, you might need to get a credit check. If that's not possible (because you have not yet built up your credit) or you have bad credit, service providers often demand a larger security deposit.
Renting: Similar to utility companies, your next landlord might ask to pull your credit. Depending on the rental market, your credit could prevent you from renting or lead to a higher deposit.
How Is Credit Useful for Consumers?
If you want to buy a house, you might need to set aside hundreds of thousands of dollars in a savings account, and that's not feasible for most people. A mortgage makes it possible to own and build equity in the home (equity is the fair market value of the home beyond the amount you owe).
Credit allows you to obtain auto loans, student loans, or loans for other high-value products and services you may not be able to purchase in one payment.
Credit scoring makes it less expensive to borrow because lenders can more or less automate lending decisions. What's more, lenders don't discriminate based on race or other characteristics of borrowers (credit scores are supposed to eliminate any discrimination), so lending is fair.

This event is prioritised for Primary Care Pharmacists. If you are a member of another profession, please contact us before registering.
A free training event aimed at Pharmacists based in Primary Care. Four expert speakers will cover the following:
- GP vaccination programmes and their impact at population level
- Infection control – the challenges for practices and impact on HCAI
- Antimicrobial stewardship - the 2017-19 quality premium
- Effective management of HCAI
This study day will provide you with an insight into some of the key mechanisms for preventing and managing infection in primary care. This will include gaining a greater awareness of the GP delivered components of the national vaccination programme and the potential reduction in respiratory tract infections and antibiotic use through increased uptake of pneumococcal and influenza vaccination.
You will also gain an increased understanding of infection control requirements in both the GP practice and the care home environment. Antimicrobial stewardship sessions will focus on the current 'Quality Premium' which aims to reduce the incidence of gram negative sepsis through better management of UTIs, the appropriate management of C difficile infection and eradication of MRSA carriage in primary care.
Throughout the day we will place emphasis and discussion on the contribution of the practice pharmacist.

VANDALIA — Mary Williams was the overall winner of the Top Chef – Vandalia studend kitchen kickoff on January 16.
"Mary has enjoyed watching TV programs Cupcake Wars and Chopped with her brother, Jack and sister, Olivia for several years," said her father, Jack. "She has been practicing her talents for some time."
Her in-house practice gave her some sense of what to expect.
"I liked explaining to the three judges how I made my creation," said Mary. "I also liked when they asked how I made my dish and how it tasted. I love candy so I don't know yet what I will buy with the gift certificate I won at Krogers."
"The Top Chef – Vandalia program has helped to allow our local student body an opportunity to experience independence in the kitchen under pressure, speak to an audience, and receive constructive feedback, while engaging with the community," said Aaron Messenger, Recreation Manager at the Vandalia Recreation Center. "We are pleased to have former Vandalia students volunteer to judge and appreciate the corporate sponsorship. This is an example of why I love my job."

My first finish of 2009:
Mirabilia's Autumn Queen
32-ct white Jobelan (click for bigger pic)
Finished: Jan 3, 2009 (started 2003!)
Next in the series will be Summer. While I had planned to stitch her in lavendars, when I pulled her original floss today I found she's actually Tiffany blue and not the turquoise-y color that the picture suggests. I'll keep her blues. She'll also be on the same white Jobelan.
Tomorrow I'll post stitching plans and other goals for the year. For now, I'll just say I had a very nice Christmas 🙂

Peace comes from knowing peace
Love comes from being Loving
Gifts come from wholly giving
In this light
Peace becomes
My deepest brilliance
Glowing brightly
Step not timidly on the path
Flow forward
Peace is mine
My calling card
Falling with me
Radiating through me
Blossoming all around me
Witnessing what I have done
Peace realized
I wake
Hearing the bluebirds of the Angels
Joining in the dance of Love
I own my state of peace
In grace
I am a Magnificent Woman
This peace offering on this Memorial day is in honor of our brave and courageous troops doing the job assigned them by our country, a country of "we the people" holding the candle of possibility.
I honor the troops today.
I honor the pursuit of peace on earth.

text: Oh my god. Hello Creative Weirdos! Welcome! We're back OMG We're Coming Over. We are already here we are in Molly Burke's apartment about to get started on her bedroom. Guys, this episode is gonna be crazy We're doing stuff we've never done before. Yes It's also we have a super cool sponsor the video sponsored by Purple. I'm so excited. I love Molly I'm a huge fan of her, huge fan of her videos, huge fan of just how inspiring she is And so this is just a great honor and a challenge. I mean we're doing interior design for a blind person Hi, I'm Molly Burke and I am a YouTuber and motivational speaker who happens to be blind I cannot explain how excited I am That Mr. Kate is here because Even though I can't see I'm obsessed with like fashion and beauty and design. I'm really hoping that Mr. Kate and Joey can create a really cool like trendy pastel LA Glitter Girl meets Multi-sensory environment That's like super relaxing and Zen because for me my brain misses a lot of stimulation Without being able to see the world around me. Guys if you haven't already Subscribe Also go ahead and thumbs up. Welcome if you are new from Molly's channel. Hello welcome And also make sure to go subscribe to Molly's channel too. Let's get textural and Sensory Stimulating and relaxing. Let's do it Okay! OMG, we're coming over! Open up we're here. Okay, you're yelling like so loud Molly! Can I find out what color my room's gonna be now? She's so stressed about the color. Because if there's Anything else I don't like I can be like I'm just gonna subtly move this out of the room But like paint, I can't like move my wall.That's why I'm like it's nice and neutral, it's like really subtle I think I'm probably most nervous about the color of the walls because I'm like But what if…..But I want….. The goal is pastel. Because that is your vibe. Yes a nice pastel Relaxing vibe. I also love to film videos in my bedroom. So I really want the space to be like aesthetically pleasing As like a cute YouTube girl background So the color of the walls is like really important for like how light reflects on your skin tone Right So like pale pink the blush pink which we love, the millennial pink. Faux furs, cacti and flamingos and all But we also need a bed. I do like to sleep So 90% of blind people have remaining vision It's a huge misconception that blindness equals nothing at all And so in my case, what I have remaining is a little bit of light perception and shadow perception So because I can see light I can also see light when it reflects off of glitter and metallic things and I can also see Lights when like they're in the shapes of things I can make out what shape it is So I love like neon signs. We're doing some sort of like vanity situation right like for you I'm not saying that but like What?! Joey's giving away things So apparently I'm getting a vanity I don't need the mirror aspect of a vanity But I certainly need the makeup storage aspect. Molly is an excellent Make-Up Artist I learned this from watching her videos and I was blown away by her makeup Artistry skills. She just puts makeup on her face every day. Obviously not using a mirror just by feel. Her eyebrows look Amazing so snatched. And when you're blind organization is probably the most Important thing because if you put something down and it's not like in a dedicated spot you it's just Lost it's gone forever. You have a very vibrant personality. Which you express in your videos And we're gonna make sure that the room Amplifies that but still is obviously Peaceful for you to come and use it as a bedroom too – it has to be functional for so many things. I'm nervous So speaking of. I believe in you so much It's easy to believe in Kate, let's be honest. Me not so much. Kate, yeah. Joey two rolls. Yeah. You want two rolls? Let's go two rolls. Come on. Let's go to two rolls Are you ready for the reveal? He's about to reveal he's got the lid in his hand peeling it up Color is…..Beautiful! Oh my god, I can't believe it It's exactly what I wanted! I'm so glad you love it It's like a Creamy White with a little tint of red in there. It's just like the perfect pink. So it's like almost white blush It's almost white blush pink. So it's Got that light reflecting. Exactly. She wants to film in this room so lighting is important So having light colored walls is great to bounce light off of and the lights gonna reflect around the room much better So yay. Pink color she loves it. Pour, pour, pour and stop. Oh, it looks like melted ice creams coming out actually Nobody's ever trusted me to paint before so I've really never. Roller. First time, first time for everything. Oh that's so fuzzy! Right? Oh oh, Molly Two Rolls! I think Joey's, you know up for a bit of competition. Yeah Do you do your own stunts? What does that mean? Do you want to paint on the ladder? Oh my gosh Joey I'll support, I'll support. Let's do it! Joey really likes to push the boundaries, but hey Molly's up for it and there she goes Blind people have no balance just so you know. Oh great You tell us as you're eight feet up in the air. Guys It is not that hard to paint a room it anyone can paint a room, but Molly is Doing it better than most people to be honest. Well now that we know you're a professional painter I think that it's time we go see how good you are at other DIYs Oh, the answer is not She's totally passed this painters test. Not that it was a test, but she passed it with flying colors. So now it's Time to get a drill in her hands. All right, the girls are gonna go do their thing Joey two rolls has got to crush this room real quick because We have so much to do in here I got this…. Close call I am so excited about this project now, obviously we're kneeling on this thing which you can kind of feel Yes feels like big wood board. Exactly a big wood board It's about four by four and then here is the real fun stuff So I'm pulling this box in front of you and I want you to just dive in You know what these are. I know what this is So there was this room at VidCon 2018 that I walked into I found this like Cave of stuffed animals and I walked in and it like sucked away all of the bustling noise And it was the best feeling ever and I knew instantly I needed that In my room. So because Molly knew that I was gonna do something along the lines of a stuffed animal wall She was also very specific about which animals she likes. And just so you know I specifically didn't get any super bright colored animals so that we didn't throw off the color palette This board is actually, we pre painted it the wall color So that if there is any Exactly any gapping which I don't plan for there to be much. It'll be the wall color So basically we decided to use some small little screws just grab a little bit of their back Fat if you will and just screw them down onto back and then they fold over cover the screw, so there's no No, you know Nails in the hands or anything around your neck. So this is looking good So I need a lot of time to be able to finish this up So I'm just gonna go after this, but I really wanted Molly to interact with it as well But I have one more project to do with her before we kick her out and it involves Gallop. This is gonna be our little photo studio for Gallop How are you gonna see my very black dog? It's gonna be like a very sort of like a moody portrait. Oh Gallop can pull off moody very well And then I also have these which, here Are these angel wings? YES! You guessed it! They're really really cute I'm hoping they're they're meant for obviously kids, but I'm hoping we can get them on him Yeah, you know he is a guide dog not a supermodel and so he's a little camera Shy usually have to pull out a little bit of cheese and he's not picky about his cheese Just cheese like that's the end goal is cheese. Joey, do we have any cheese? What? You can pull him too, like if you want to slide him as well People are like why don't you have an Instagram for Gallop? Like it takes this much effort to get one good photo. Oh my gosh This pose is actually really cute. Okay. Wait, let me review. Give him his cheese I think we might have gotten it. That was amazing He's like I'm leaving If this is what you're doing I'm leaving He needs some water. He's salty about it Gallop already knows what's going on because this is moment where I'm kicking you out Okay! So Gallop and I are getting kicked out of my apartment Which is very sad. And yeah, the next time you come in it'll be done It'll be the big reveal! Are you excited? I'm so excited I know me too I'm a little nervous though. There's a lot of work to do. Good luck Thanks. Alright. I'm out. Bye. Bye How's it going? Good. Did you kick Molly out? Yeah, she's gonna go do some stuff with Gallop. Okay. So are you done with the stuffed animals? No Because I want the bed to be like nestled amongst The panels and so I don't want to cover the ones that are going by the bed entirely like I'd rather See where the beds gonna hit. When she walks in You have the wall where we're gonna put her bed, but we're not gonna center her bed Like I usually do we're gonna put it off to one side That can be kind of the sleeping area and that's gonna be anchored by the stuffed animal wall So we need to get the bed Into the room early on because I want to make sure that I'm not putting stuffed animals back behind where the mattress is gonna go That's pointless they're not even gonna see them. I'm actually really excited about this mattress. All right guys for the bed We are bringing in a very special mattress This is the purple mattress and we have the top-of-the-line the Purple 4, that comfort grid technology I cannot believe that this is what you sleep on. Yeah, it's why it's like it keeps you cool It cradles your body The honeycomb is just really like has like a mushy feel but not like overly mushy. I don't know It's just it's comfort tech. Oh You can you feel the honeycomb this is gonna be so Amazing because this is just like another Textural moment in here. I mean, I don't know what this crazy voodoo is, but this thing is magic the whole thing with this too Is that it's supposed to keep you cool. I can feel it. I'm like sweating but like my backside is like not sweating For once. Okay, so not only do we get the Purple mattress. We also got a pet bed. Oh my gosh I might need to sleep on this This is great, we also got pillows that are made up of the same Smart Grid technology, which feel so cool Oh my gosh. Wow This is supposed to be like super good on your spine because it's like more of that smart grid technology Oh, I might have to take these home. All right, here's some smart comfort grid for your eyes Thank you, please enjoy the spa moment Actually just kidding don't enjoy this spa moment we have so much to do! Get up Joey we have to measure this! Okay, so we've got the mattress unrolled and the bed set up so now we just need to push it against the wall So we can place the panels and just trace and see where we're stopping the stuffed animals So it looks like the bed is just kind of built into this whole giant headboard and then on the other side will be a Sequined wall and that's gonna anchor her new vanity. Talk about a sensory experience I know a mix of like tactile and visual and this is our window where the pink is. Yeah So right here, we're gonna do a cutout. So we'll just use plywood Alright, so for the sequin wall, we're just going to use the same thickness plywood that we're using for the stuffed animal walls And we're gonna upholster the plywood in the sequin fabric. And then on the plywood We're doing a rectangle cut out because I've got some awesome neon signs for her. They're like the little neon sheet So this will be our vanity or with organized make up a seat She can sit down and then we'll have the neon light peeking out of the cutout of the sequins. It's gonna look so cool Okay. So now on the other side of the room we have Fiber-optic curtains. It's an LED light source that shoots down a branch of hundreds of fiber-optic cables And basically it has little pieces of glitter throughout the cable to refract the light. Oh my god So then what we'll do is we'll mount the like curtain rod above The dresser and then wrap this around the curtain rod and just kind of make it look sort of like a tangle of Glitter We've got so much to do. Kate's gonna finish getting the stuffed animals installed onto the plywood as she finishes those sheets I will get those installed on the wall. I'm also gonna work on getting the sequin wall up Alright guys, so we worked late into the night last night to get the room mostly complete We had 600 stuffed animals to get on the wall which took a while We are here, to do finishing touches and we're gonna start with a rug cuddle This rugs awesome it's a pink shag and it is fuzzy and so soft. Oh my gosh talk about textures. Ah Look it I love the sequin wall so much. Okay, we gotta bring in the vanity I don't like laying down with my bangs. You need me to hold you up Can you get me in pillow? Lift up lift up lift up Lift up crunch hundreds We need to bring in the vanity We were gonna bring in the sensory buffet. I have so many awesome things Great Artwork and reveal. Oh my gosh hundreds You need to get to be a better pillow Okay Go you go you go I got things to do Oh my gosh, this fiber-optic curtain is it's something we've never Tangled with before. Joey and I are trying to figure out how to Artistically drape it over the curtain rod that he mounted up above the dresser and It's interesting. No, no no No, no. No, that looks terrible. What? No, absolutely not. Kate. Trust me. Kate. Oh This is like a no Look, no, look. Okay. Wait, let me see. Let me see. Let me see Maybe don't pull it. Yeah, pull go let it go vertical like that Oh my gosh Okay, I'm so amped about these fiber-optic curtains we've never worked with fiber optics at all in any of our designs On top of the dresser We're putting the sensory bar. You know, I love to style the surfaces of things whether it's a dresser or a sideboard So this dresser we have to style in a very fun way for Molly. Okay, now sensory bar Look, I'm gonna show you I have this frame. Yeah, and I got these Braille Keyboard letters as you know text art is really big and we always do like the quotes and everything Okay, so you guys know that I love to write little quotes in frames So just this cool wood frame put some pretty pale pink paper in there. And now I have to think of a word that Doesn't use multiple letters because they're keyboard letters and we have one of each Smile that's perfect, but I think I want to do what if we do. Wait, what is it when you do Shift, Alt Control, Alt smile? That's cute Computer tech just like when we come to your room and you need to reset for the day or reset for the night Control Alt Smile So I love the idea of the sensory Buffet as something that Molly can access for when she wants to just you know, play with things with her hands And just kind of go into you know decompression mode. So I'm getting her a whole buffet of these items in glass Apothecary jars Placing some of Molly's perfume on this tray because of course another sense that she has very heightened is her smell So Gallops pet bed is in the corner and I'm covering it with this really soft throw blanket And I'm also giving Gallop some throw pillows because why not? Above Gallops bed we're hanging another one of the neon signs That's battery-operated. This one says love which I know she'll be able to see since it spells out with the lights and Gallops symbol is a horseshoe. So I found this little small horseshoe that you can mount on the wall And I'm mounting it up turned which Gathers the good luck as it falls in right after the love. So it says Love U Yesterday I also edited one of the photos that I took of gallop I got one. That's so cute He's like looking up at the cheese and we are able to get it into this beautiful brass frame. I also have something else planned for this portrait though I'm gonna actually glue on white feathers on to the angel wings so that Molly will actually be able to touch The photo itself and feel where the wings are and this will actually be like an interactive Tactile photograph These throw pillows are so cute. We're using one that has like little free tassels on it And then hello how rad is this knot one? It's just like a Gorgeous creative weirdo brain and it just feels really cool I think it'll be Stimulating for her to touch and hug and cuddle. So something that Molly's informed me about is the importance of sleep for blind people Because their circadian rhythms aren't able to be regulated by the sunlight like sighted people so they can sometimes have non 24-hour sleep wake disorder, so we are providing her some Gorgeous black out curtains so that she will be able to fully Black out the windows turn off all the lights in her room and be in her peaceful cocoon. I'm organizing all of Molly's makeup in these cool acrylic organizers And I'm also placing some other items in her little cotton ball holder some candles that smell good and Also another very important symbol that she wanted to get into the room.

I had a most unexpected and gratifying experience today. While having a lunch meeting with a colleague the subject turned briefly to common work friends, and work decisions and ironically, to my book. I'm now growing accustomed to this happening from time to time. As usual, when he asked, I gave a short answer that it was a book chronicling a spiritual experience I had. I'm always conscious of the "line" between speaking my truth and delving into a topic that could make someone else uncomfortable in the workplace. Then we breezily moved on. That's normal. Then we talked business – yep that's normal too. Slowly he danced his way back into asking about how I wrote and what I wrote. He was curious. Okay, that's normal.
Then suddenly, without a blink or a turn signal, it happened. It sounds cheesy but it was like in the movies when the lights go down around and there's just this spotlight on two people engrossed in meaningful conversation. There was no cafeteria. The other diners faded into the distance … and God came to lunch. I could feel it. I knew this moment was a powerful one. We had a verbal dance from one topic to another. There was no preaching. There was no religion. Just connection and wonder and questions. How do you hear God? Has he come to you in other ways? Do you get messages? Can I tell you about my wife. And I know people who feel things – like my mother who "felt" when a family member was dying 200 miles away. The conversation swirled and twirled and I sensed it was bigger than just the two of us – it was somehow complete.
This man, who I had only known a few short months, who came from a land across the sea, was sitting here now, making a deep and spiritual connection. In that moment we were kindred spirits with no hierarchy, no cultural difference, no language barrier, no time constraint – just Spirit. There was a heat, an energy and a light that emanated briefly from our table and then – fade to black. And as the moment passed and the cafeteria came back into view, I knew, on this day, with this person, the universal truth of connection had come to life.
I have been blessed … be blessed too!

Fat Tuesday = PancakesPosted: February 12, 2013 Filed under: Recipes | Tags: crepes, fat tuesday, gluten-free, mardi-gras, pancakes Leave a comment
It's Fat Tuesday! And Fat Tuesday means pancakes. The fried bread and rich traditional foods may stem from the religious preparation for Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent, but I, also, would never turn down an excuse to make and eat pancakes. I quickly threw some together this morning and they are on the menu breakfast and lunch for today.
If you forgot about pancakes, or didn't have time this morning, there is still hope! You can have 'pancakes' and a complete meal!
As I've mentioned before, crepes are a long tradition in my family, and as children we called them rolly-rolly pancakes (since we rolled the thin crepes up with butter and syrup). So, at least in my mind, crepes totally count as proper pancakes. Why don't you have a pancake dinner tonight? Make a batch of crepes and serve them savoury as a main course: try asparagus and parmesan; chicken, goat cheese, spinach, and sundried tomatoes; broccoli and cheddar; mushrooms in a cream sauce; eggs and ham…pretty much any combo can be wrapped in a crepe.
You can even save a few to make a sweet dessert: my favorite (and the simplest) sweet option is to serve the crepes sprinkled with lemon juice and powder sugar. Fruit and cream or nutella would also be easy, delicious options.
Here is my great-grandmother's crepe recipe, modified for gluten-free. Try your hand at it tonight, and celebrate Fat Tuesday deliciously.
Do you have any Fat Tuesday plans or traditions?
