Before work, I had an exciting delivery from Gossler Farms, a Stachyurus praecox. I have been looking for this plant since I left my old garden and had to leave a large one behind. (It probably got crushed when the new owner had some danger trees felled from the slope above it.) It is a winter blooming shrub that I adore.
It is gorgeous. Now I just have to figure out how to squeeze it in to a garden bed that I can see from my living room desk in early spring.
Allan took most of the photos for this first part of the day.
My hope is to make the small round easily-baked-in-the-sun planters need watering only once a week…or even just once every five days, or even four, would be an improvement. We had removed the winter battered Erysimum 'Bowles Mauve' which have been the centerpieces for years.
I admired both the south facing window and the garden bed below it at the Col Pacific Motel.
One of three erysimums that we had left because they looked ok looked so bad close up that I was sorry I had left it.
A variegated sedum had been taken over by a green reversion. I axed all the green parts off and I do hope it will stay the handsome variegated form.
Just look how much it had reverted! I had all but forgotten that it was anything but the plain green form.
The offending green parts in a bucket will be welcome elsewhere.
We began with a quick check up and some tidying at the city hall garden….
The old lavatera in the west side garden beds that were planted by Gene and Peggy Miles has become so worn that this is probably its last year. I will need to plant something low there because the office staff likes to be able to see out the window.
And then we trimmed santolinas and did some other grooming on the planters on the Sid Snyder approach and the six downtown blocks.
The trimming will inspire the santolinas to have a nice round shape instead of getting raggedy.
before…this one took a lot of hand trimming rather than the speedy Stihl trimmer….
…because it was so intertwined with narcissi.
Allan took on the truly horrid job of clipping the rugosa roses that volunteered itself under one of the trees and then weeding it for the first time this year.
I walked back and forth between planters and street trees, heading north and trimming santolinas as I went.
This is the planter that started it all, one of four that I did back in about 1998 when they were all done by different volunteers. The city administrator at the time said it was "magnificent". It still has the original santolinas.
A few years ago, I got so bored while hand trimming the furthest one that I suddenly cut it back to the trunk! It took it two years to come back. I am glad I have The Toy now which makes the job fun rather than high pressure and tedious.
…and then trimmed a couple of blocks of planters himself.
The carousel is back, a sure sign of the tourist season.
I love small cupped narcissi.
I realized I would not have the satisfaction of erasing santolinas from the work board because we still have the ten or so planters on Bolstad beach approach to trim. At five o clock, I was too exhausted to do it even though in past years I'd have gone on till dark to get it done. I blamed the after effects of the Shingrix vaccine (whose side effects can last 3-5 days) rather than aging.
I did not even think I could muster the energy for the last two untrimmed planters north of the stoplight that I saw when we were on our way to dump debris. But I did (which means Allan did, too) because those blocks would be more crowded on a Saturday.
The downtown santolina trimming used to take all day, with sore hands from clipping afterwards. The Toy made it take just the afternoon.
We would have started at the Heron Pond had there been a parking place. Instead, we began with the City Hall gardens.
I was so pleased with how the Stihl trimmer (The Toy) worked on the ornamental grasses on the west side that this is the only photo I took there.
I did not ask my phone to make its photo all artsy black and white.
Allan did better with before and after photos on the east side of city hall.
I channeled Gardeners' World's Carol Klein by putting some cuttings of Artemisia 'Powis Castle' into a plastic baggie to keep them fresh till I can pot them up. I had forgotten to bring a baggie but had fortuitously found one in the gutter (lord knows what was once in it).
Before we had quite finished cleaning up, Allan espied a parking space by the pond, a block away, and hightailed the van over there to snag it, then came back for the wheelbarrow and tools.
While he tidied and weeded and clipped around the pond, I did the same for the north two blocks worth of planters, therefore missing the traditional photo of Allan crossing the little waterfall without falling in.
…so someone would surely see if he lost his balance.
The Toy works wonderfully at trimming small stems in the planters, and I believe it has already saved me hours of clipping.
I helped Allan finish the last bit of work around the pond.
Note how the underwear shows on the way across to the waterfall (and around the edges). I want to avoid this with our pond.
Next came Veterans Field and the Police Station rugosa roses, with only an hour clipping before time to clean up and dump debris.
Neither area allowed for use of The Toy; both required big loppers and the cutting of individual stems.
Gaura 'Whirling Butterflies" has very tough stems.
The great big mess (Allan's photo) had me fearing we would not get done by dark.
Way over by that white car, below, is the little corner garden.
Because I did not get that far, I cannot erase Vet Field from the work list. We did make an excellent dent today and also scored a gorgeous bookshelf from a "free" pile on our way home.
None of these work accomplishments are refined and perfect weeding jobs, just the somewhat rough first clean up.
I spent the next day in the greenhouse at home, avoiding the rain by potting up some plants for my sale and rearranging my room to accommodate the new book shelf. This meant that I actually emptied out my ancient and ugly filing cabinet, the one full of old letters from friends and of sorted articles (on non-gardening topics) that I have been collecting since the 70s. Putting the files into two cardboard boxes does not mean that I can erase "filing cabinet" from my at home list.
I have a plan for the old filing cabinet. More on this later.
Allan's outing included taking some of his boating book to Time Enough Books (where it had sold out!) and a quick tidy of the post office garden.
I even booted up my computer to write this post instead of writing from the depths of my comfy chair. With rain due tomorrow as well, there may be a blog break. I feel more comfortable and less pressured when the blog is running at least three days behind.
At last we had time to do a project that had been weighing on my mind: dig out the wire vine, Muehlenbeckia axillaris, from the planter in front of Stormin' Norman's.
It had been cute and then had gone suddenly berserk.
The wire vine has returned throughout the planter despite semi-diligent attempts at control.
We were incredibly lucky during the digging out stage to get a parking spot right next to the planter.
Allan moves the trailer closer in.
After all the plants were out, as Allan removed the soil in the wire vine planter, I pulled the Crocosmia 'Lucifer' from the next planter.
Most merchants don't like tall plants in front of their shops. The Wind World Kites guy loves the crocosmia and jokes that he now has nowhere to hide.
After much digging and removing all the soil and the tattered years-old landscape fabric that separates soil from gravel, we found roots down IN the gravel. This is ominous.
My back was panging, so I answered some garden questions while standing straight against a wall. Part of the job is to be friendly to tourists.
The woman in blue was from England and had lived there till 1958. I asked her if she had heard of garden writer Marion Cran. She had not.
I had had rather a stroke of genius; we also brought the last two hanging basket innards and used that soil to extend what we had.
Allan deadheaded a block worth of planters while I re planted.
Upon his return, the planter was done. Many bulbs were also replanted.
I was able to salvage all the perennials by carefully inspecting their roots. I will be watching closely for any sign of wire vine emerging from them; if it does, out they will come.
Across the street is a planter I quite like (even though the matching santolina was stolen).
I have enjoyed Cosmos 'Xanthos'.
I used the pink gaura to replace the bad agastaches in the Agastache Catastrophe (a batch with diseased leaves). The gaura has been good and has bloomed longer, with no deadheading, than the agastache does. I will use it again next year, along with perhaps the shorter white one, 'So White'.
After our project, we deadheaded and tidied a few more planters.
I love the chrysanthemums that have perennialized in some of the planters. They take up too much room to have them in every one.
We had time to tidy up the back garden at the Shelburne. Chef Casey had found akebia fruits on the south fence. I sought them out under cover of the vine.
akebia fruits…I saved one to try out but I have forgotten to do so.
The beans in pots are well past their prime.
I picked off some moldy old beans….
…and then realized I remembered the hotel's Halloween event and realized I should leave them till after Halloween. I then decided to leave the old Joe Pye Weed and some other plants to add a spookier ambiance to the front garden.
"Get ready to sit, sip, and talk to the spirits at the Shelburne Hotel. Will be having Chariot reading Tarot cards by appointment (starting at 6pm on 10/26), Adrift Distillers Amaro release (10/27 from 5pm-7pm), seasonal cuisine, and cocktails that represents the spirits at the hotel.
Will be playing the Shining in the Inglenook both nights as well.
The Shelburne's sister hotel, Adrift, suggests something about a ghost in the garden!
Hmmm. I'm not saying whether or not I have ever seen Annie May in the garden.
Halloween is a good reason to leave the long, draping wisteria till November before a preliminary pruning.
We rewarded ourselves for an exhausting day with a tasty meal and drink in the Shelburne pub.
As diners arrived at the pub, Brian O' Connor began to sing, as he does every Thursday. You can sit in the living room to listen and dine, or sit in the pub with the music as ambiance.
His deep and distinctive voice has an emotional quality that draws a regular audience on Thursday nights.
We heard part of the performance during our relaxing meal.
My favourite dessert on the peninsula these days is the pub's cheesecake tart with blackberry topping.
On the way home, we checked out some Halloween decorations in Ilwaco.
We have accomplished all our little work board projects other than mulching.
I enjoyed the partial emptiness for a moment before adding Bulb Time.
That list is even missing two small job.
Tomorrow, the bulbs come and the sorting begins, a rather dreaded task that hurts my brain.
I had hoped for another reading day. Sunny weather sent us out to work, thwarting my desire to spend a day reading Marion Cran.
Not every Rozanne needed clipping, just maybe half of them. Probably depends on how much wind each planter gets.
We did a bit of clipping and deadheading in Fifth Street Park. It is looking at its best now—after the tourists have mostly gone home.
I love the purple aster.
I divided that aster from the boatyard; I wish I could remember its name. The tall asters are the ones I like, and I must collect more.
I hope planty people notice my Melianthus major.
South side; these grasses (which a landscape architect chose years ago for this spot) will flop forward over the lawn soon.
Each street corner had a supposed dwarf pine, chosen by the same landscape architect. This side it is indeed dwarf, and the other side is huge!
I got to pet these darlings.
We saw Scott and Tony walking Bailey and Rudy through town, two more dogs to pet.
It was past time to dig the dangity blang non blooming cosmos out of the welcome sign—AND the one that was blooming, because it could not stay there all by itself.
We saw a big frog, a medium frog, and a little baby frog.
I am sure they had a bad day, with their shelter being almost all removed.
The debris looked more impressive before Allan walked on it. (This is after).
Well. That was my worst failure of a garden bed in long time. I picked Cosmos 'Sensation', even though I knew it gets tall, because I thought the Geranium 'Rozanne' would grow vigorously and swamp a shorter cosmos. So the cosmos was too tall for the sign. Even where I did not have to clip it, it did not bloom, perhaps because the conditions there are too lush. It is one of the few gardens that has an irrigation system. I hope that next year will be better.
I kept the non weedy debris for my compost bins. The cosmos root balls would get dumped at city works because they have horsetail in them. On the way, we did some clean up at city hall.
I noticed that the baskets were down!
I am happy to say I snagged all four baskets (minus the basket) out of the debris pile when we went to dump.
On the way home, we pulled Gladiolus papilio out of one last planter.
We got home in time to deal with the vast amount of compost.
It was not till a few days later that I read that fasciation may be caused by a virus and such material should not be composted. Oh well. I LIKE fasciated stems.
I enjoy fall clean up and composted and petting dogs, so this was a good work day.
My monthly planter reference post. Pretty dull for anyone other than me.
I put in pink gauras to replace the bad agastaches that were diseased. Semi-successful, people admire them, but they are brittle.
Being the social director of yesterday's tour, arranging to visit each private garden (all but one at a time when the gardeners would be home), trying to set a date when all who wanted to could attend, fretting over social anxiety and feeling out of my league with two Big Name Gardeners, turned out to be well worth it as everyone agreed it had been a wonderful tour day. However, both Allan and I slept extra late this morning! I had planned an easy work day, mostly watering, with two small projects (or so I thought).
I met two darling dogs over the fence next door to the post office.
I don't normally put my hand into a dog's yard. This one was clearly friendly with a happy circling tail. I wish they were there every day; I have only seen them the once. The dog's affection for its ball reminded me of Monty Don's dog, Nigel, star of Gardeners' World.
We removed a very woody and tatty lavender from one of the planters. Its inside was dark and gloomy and devoid of foliage.
I have told people that although this plant smells strongly of curry, it is not edible. It appears I am wrong about that, according to this article. Although it smells of the strongest curry, the taste is said to be not like curry. The flowers are inconsequential yellow things that I usually trim off. I love the smell of the plant and its silver foliage. The linked article says that the flowers taste of bleu cheese, which I also love!
We added two curry plants to the planter we had redone last week.
75 degrees F as we arrived at the Shelburne.
Speaking of curry plants, here is one we recently added to a planter on the room four deck. The dahlia is out of scale but it requested that I not move it to the garden till later because it is quite happy in the pot.
We watered and weeded. I trimmed tall non blooming cosmos to better reveal the signage.
The candles were the battery powered ones. I did not know that would work in jars of water. I googled; they seem to be a special floating kind. That would be great Halloween decor.
After the Shelburne, we tried clearing a small garden on Howerton Avenue at the port of the roots where the port crew had pulled out a sightline-blocking escallonia with a backhoe. Or maybe pulled it out by truck, with a chain. I had a few plants ready to plant, but was thwarted by the job being harder than I expected. The root mass was especially thick around a CoHo Charters sign that had been skillfully undamaged.
Although we got it almost done, my anxiety level was high because Allan had to water the Ilwaco planters, a two hour job from start to finish (including watering our two volunteer pocket gardens). A friend stopped to give us a political campaign sign (the wonderful Carolyn Long for Congress!) and we ran out of time and had to stop the Howerton bed before we were done.
Allan took the water trailer and watered the planters.
…and then walked home, looking for the feral cats along Main Street. I felt bad that I scared them off a chicken dinner that someone had left on a plate.
In the book I've been reading, Wind-Harps by Marion Cran, she learns that her new Siamese cat is actually related by blood to her beloved Tatty-Bogle, a Siamese whose death she still mourned. I realized then that perhaps the soft looking and so shy grey cat who lives in the feral colony would perhaps be related to my late much lamented Smoky, who was born wild in Ilwaco just a couple of blocks from there. I have only seen grey cat twice; he may be the shyest of all.
I deadheaded in the almost dusk at the volunteer Post Office and Fire Station gardens. Allan was not happy that he finished up in almost darkness, dangerous in traffic. The day ended on a stressful note. More like a medley of stress. I will be so glad when watering season is over. It is the one task that creates the most pressure because when the plants are dry, it must be done. Shorter days make it harder to fit in an evening watering job like Ilwaco planters.


The golf course consists of traditionally designed Bentgrass greens and fairways, closely guarded by deep ProAngle sand bunkers. The course is noted for its clever and imaginative layout which constantly challenges both low and high handicappers. The strategic demands favour finesse over strength and subtlety over power.
This is the good one place to enjoy playing golf, but a little bit old. Almost like old slots which I prefer to play the most, by the way.
Challenging private course in Toronto's Don Valley. Back tees are just over 6500 yards but plays every bit of it. With water in play on many of the holes, strategic shot selection off the tee is critical. Use your SkyCaddie to help plot your way round.

H.H. Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji | | PEOPLE'S SAARC: Inter-Faith Meet for Peace, Harmony and Solidarity in South Asia
PEOPLE'S SAARC: Inter-Faith Meet for Peace, Harmony and Solidarity in South Asia
The "PEOPLE'S SAARC: Inter-Faith Meet for Peace, Harmony and Solidarity in South Asia", was held in Mumbai last week. It was jointly organised by the Observer Research Foundation Mumbai and Minhaj-ul-Quran International (India).
About 10 leaders of different religions were called to guide the foundation of the People's SAARC. Joining via live video link from Toronto, Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri gave a beautiful speech in which he called upon both Pakistanis and Indians to inaugurate a new chapter of mutual goodwill, friendship and cooperation in their relationship. All the outstanding problems between the two countries can — and should — be resolved through negotiations in an atmosphere of mutual trust and accommodation, he remarked.
The leaders at the conference closed-door, roundtable were:
Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri (Internationally renowned Pakistan-born Islamic scholar, founder of Mihaj-ul-Quran, and author of 'FATWA on Terrorism and Suicide Bombings')
Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji(Spiritual Head, Parmarth Niketan Ashram, Rishikesh and Founder, India Heritage Research Foundation and co-founder Global Interfaith WASH Alliance)
His Eminence Oswald Cardinal Gracias (Archbishop of Bombay, President of Catholic Bishops' Conference of India, and member of the advisory council appointed by H.H. Pope Francis)
Dr. Satyapal Singh (Commissioner of Police, Mumbai; a Sanskrit scholar and a spirited advocate for inter-religious harmony)
Sardar Tarlochan Singh (Former Member of Parliament who served as Chairman, National Commission for Minorities from 2000 to 2003)
Dr. Bhadant Anand Mahathero (Sri Lankan born Buddhist monk, initiated into monkhood by H. H. Baddegama Vimalvansha)
Dasturji Khurshed Dastur Kekobad Dastoor (Head Priest at Shree Pak Iranshah Zoroastrian Temple, Udvada)
Dr. Ved Pratap Vaidik (Renowned Hindi journalist, scholar, political analyst and a leading figure in India-Pakistan dialogue)
Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati (President of the Divine Shakti Foundation, Parmarth Niketan Ashram, Rishikesh; a leading voice in inter-faith dialogue activities worldwide; promoter of Hindu-Jewish dialogue)
Dr. Meenal Karnitkar (Head of the Centre of Jain Studies, Mumbai University)
Sudheendra Kulkarni (Chairman, Observer Research Foundation Mumbai)
Rafeeq Ahmed Khan (President, Minhaj-ul-Quran International India)
Sadhvi Bhagawatiji said, "If we are standing here as representatives of the people of the South Asian nations, called here for the formation of a People's SAARC, then we must look at the truth of the lives of these people. For a large percentage of people living in India, Pakistan, Bangalesh, Sri Lanka and other nations the truth of their existence is hunger, thirst, illiteracy and illness. Approximately 200 million people in South/West and Central Asia have no access to clean water. 200 million Indians will sleep hungry tonight and 3000 children die every day in India from hunger. This is the truth of the people whom we are representing. If we are truly to serve them, to truly represent them, it is imperative that we work not only for more permeable borders, not only for an end to military responses, but also for the very basic betterment of their lives."

We are still accepting donations (no clothing or shoes, please) this week (18th - 22nd). Please call Beverly at 706.542.6138 if you have stuff to drop off, or we can pick up large items. All proceeds benefit the State Botanical Garden of GA. Unsold items will be donated to charity.


SoundEagle is a garden of art, science, poetry, music, video, graphics, cartoons, animations, games and puzzles in a beautiful, dynamically syndicated press containing posts, buzzes, events and social media updates.
You have arrived at a garden of art, science, poetry, music and ideas, and landed on a platform that serves to connect diverse domains and to collect various strands of the interests and workings of SoundEagle. The garden has gradually become a reasonably fertile and multidisciplinary playground. Hopefully, it will always remain varied but consistent enough to entice and satisfy those who are artful and perceptive, those who delight in detail and texture, and those who resonate with the philosophical underpinnings and aesthetic approaches.
Posts and pages will sprout from time to time in the garden. It is SoundEagle's goal and pleasure that you find ample enjoyment and meanings in perusing those posts and pages, which, as you might have observed, tend to be polysemic, pluralistic and multifaceted, given that they often contain complementary prose, poetry, art, graphics, cartoons, animations, games, puzzles, music and video, sewn and strewn together synergistically as well as aesthetically, but whose denotations and connotations are left in your hands, in your eyes as a beholder, in your ears as an audience, in your mind as an interpreter, in your heart as a connoisseur, in your patronage as a reader, in your discretion as a fellow blogger, and in your whim as a free thinker.
Please feel free to leave plenty of your footprints, to bare your soles and souls, to share your thoughts and feelings, to join SoundEagle on a special quest of empathy and consilience, via wisdom and understanding, through discovery and appreciation. For those who have a playful or adventurous streak, your patience with wading through posts and pages will be rewarded by music and video as well as interactive games, puzzles and animations, all of which await your discovery and enjoyment.

Designed and administered by SoundEagle, this website has served as a multimedia playground to investigate the polyphonic dance of ideas, to consider their manifold eddies, their unexpected simultaneities or juxtapositions, as well as their multiple embodiments and modes of expressions, as they unfurl through the lenses of plurality, the faces of diversity, and the facets of multidisciplinarity, intermingling from time to time, and topic to topic, with the semantic fields of culture, the speculative realms of philosophy, the aesthetic worlds of art, and the analytic spheres of science.
Given that some of SoundEagle's posts are fairly lengthy and laden with multimedia, attempts have been made to reorganise and tighten the structures and presentations in the hope that the website can load and display its contents faster. Should you like music accompaniment whilst browsing, you are free to enjoy listening to music composed and recorded by SoundEagle, on demand and to your heart's content, insofar as the music will play continuously once it is manually started, until paused or stopped. Find out more at Festive Season and Faster Website.
The pluralistic experiences offered to you in some highly entertaining multimedia posts and pages comprise beautiful and stylistic presentations of Text Art, Photos, Videos, Music, Computer and Web Graphics, as well as Games and Animations, many instances of which exemplify the malleability, permeability and cross-fertilization of ideas and cultures, whose fecundity, fluidity and visibility are often facilitated and enhanced by potent rendering tools, social media and emerging technologies, which have various implications for the modulation, transformation and documentation of procedures or practices, including blurring the boundaries of design, creation, interface and workflow, as well as facilitating the understanding of artistry through form, invention, interaction and information.
Under these scenarios, this website has increasingly become a creative, thematic conduit through which fusion, experimentation, appropriation and transformation flow, and where reinterpreting, repurposing, recycling and reinventing can freely combine contrasting or opposing elements from the real and the imaginative, the mundane and the exotic, the popular and the esoteric, as well as the secular and the religious, the artistic and the scientific, whilst embracing the richly textured terrains and novel landscapes of the bespoke, unique, controversial or idiosyncratic. Not surprisingly, many traditionally straightforward hobbies and hitherto simple pastimes, including art, craft, gardening and photography, have taken on more heterogeneous characteristics as they intermingle with other domains and interests, becoming more infused with the purviews of other fields and disciplines.
It is hoped that some of the offerings on this website can also serve as a bridge, conduit or crossing between the East and the West, between the laypersons and the experts, between the proven and the experimental, between the old data and the new findings, between the documented and the anecdotal, by way of judicious translation, edification, promotion and dissemination of information pertaining to the long cultures and traditions that have accompanied certain fields and disciplines and their ardent champions through the dynamic synergy of various pursuits and domains, including prose, poetry, art, graphics, cartoons, animations, games, puzzles, music and video.
In turn, these fields and disciplines can become both catalysts and arenas for recognizing, (re)creating and (re)contextualizing various pursuits and domains with multiple reference points as a means of reflecting and communicating the current state of community and society, and as a way of fostering mutuality, reciprocity and complementarity.
Understood in these terms, the value of certain fields and disciplines can truly begin to be appreciated and defined beyond the straightforward results and immediate implications of admiring, studying, developing and improving them, to the extent that partaking in these fields and disciplines becomes not just an attempt at, or a process of, accruing and capturing knowledge, but also a fruitful endeavour to use certain pursuits and domains and their myriad embodiments and representations as a means of expressing ideas, which are themselves products of instinct (nature), experience (nurture) and technology (tools), guided and shaped by principles and forms of knowledge.

It is my honor to welcome and salute this unique blog with its interesting and very unique content. Wish you the best in your future endeavours!
SoundEagle is grateful and appreciates the encouragement from a blogger and writer, the esteemed Arlen Shahverdyan, who has done much to raise awareness on a variety of issues diligently and consistently over the years through his personal blog and his caring interactions with people and friends online and offline. As far as SoundEagle knows, he is a person of fine spirit, a human being of admirable integrity and reciprocity.
And SoundEagle looks forward to reading your thoughts and comments after you read SoundEagle's posts, both existing and forthcoming ones.
Thank you! As you read, SoundEagle just added the phrase "in your mind as an interpreter".
Please feel free to suggest improvements or ideas for my blog, Dr Youssef.
You are very welcome, Ralph. Thank you for visiting and commenting, which are much appreciated.
By the way, SoundEagle has just created a new page entitled Quotes. Enjoy!
Hi SE You can trash this reply. I am not getting on at you or Elisa but I felt that there was in issue with Elisa against you. I have deleted the thread. I do not like the way Elisa talks to anybody inc. me. I hope we can be friends and if Elisa jumps in like that again it will be trashed immediately. You are welcome to comment in my blogs. I welcome them. Friends? You can email a reply if you wish on my gravatar.
Hello Ralph! SoundEagle went to bed and just woke up from a few hours of beauty sleep.
It is a pity that she could not appreciate and benefit from us and our interactions.
Let SoundEagle blow on your smacked hand once more . . . . .
You are so funny!! Do I know any Princesses that would do such a thing to me? Ummmmm!!
Failing that, an avian friend will live long enough to descend upon you, as the beak of an old and tired SoundEagle might just suffice about five decades from now . . . .
Thank you very much for visiting. SoundEagle looks forward to your presence and patronage.
Hello Sound Eagle, thank you so much for visiting my blog. Your blog is amazing, so many things to read and look at and think about!
Thank you for flying over to browse, my avian friend. SoundEagle hopes to benefit greatly from your words of wisdom along the way as you discover "so many things to read and look at and think about".
Beautiful and creative blog! The artistic factor is awesome!! Looking forward to checking out many other posts in the future!! And showing others your incredible blog!
Thank you very much for complimenting SoundEagle on the aesthetic quality of SoundEagle's website. SoundEagle is grateful and delighted that you appreciate the art and design at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com, and that you find SoundEagle's blog worthy of being recommended to your friends. 🙂 Let's hope that they too will discover and enjoy useful or appealing aspects of the blog.
Thank you, Gina, for visiting, liking and commenting on this page. When you book off the special day to visit my blogs, may you have plenty of fun and adventure! On that day, if you would like us to interact in real time via the WordPress commenting system, please kindly inform SoundEagle in advance.
I have nominated your blog for the Liebster Blog Award.
An Eagle uses the wind as an extension of itself giving lift and an ever changing perspective for its Eagle-eyed observation. There is no separation between an Eagle and it's world. The world is the Eagle, the Eagle the world. Hunger is the impetus for action and bird becomes a missile that rarely misses its target. But sometimes even Eagles miscalculate and a Sound Eagle has to be Master of both the breath coming in and the breath going out. Not doing, not reacting is also a calculated activity when practised by the wise. Thank you for your comments on Dragonshades and your Elephant story. I have not published the comment on the About page although I appreciate your explanation. Being aware that we all have our own perspective is the first step. Being aware that we can never fully understand the perspective of another is step two. Accepting that we all are doing our best seeing the world from our own perspective including the mistakes we make while doing so is a great gift to ourselves. The Blog designers in their wisdom have given us the power of choice to receive, accept,reply or trash a comment. There is a fifth option and that is to cherish the comment without publishing and keep it in our files to reread at a later time when we have a deeper understanding.. This is a luxury situation within Blogworld that is not always so easy in daily life.
Thank you, windhound, for sharing your kind words, deliberation and wisdom.
Hi Louise! It has almost been five years since we last communicated here. Before January ends and February starts, SoundEagle would like to wish you, somewhat belatedly, all the best that 2018 can bring with a very special poem published in the post entitled 🎊 Season Greetings from SoundEagle: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Joyful Holiday 🎄🎅⛄.
A special blog. Congratulations. Previously could not enter.
Thank you, Carlos, for your visit. Please continue to enjoy, discover and critique whatever you may find here, and there will be even more unusual and multidisciplinary contents to come . . . . .
Thanks for stopping by to visit. I like your blog.
You are welcome! Thank you for your compliment. SoundEagle hopes that you will return to enjoy the contents of this blog from time to time. Happy March to you!
Hello Nurture from Rafferty's Rules! SoundEagle would like to congratulate you for still blogging copiously after nearly five years, often featuring posts in the format of "Top Ten things that…". You are really quite fond of music videos on YouTube.
Given the time of the year, SoundEagle would like to wish you, somewhat belatedly, all the best that 2018 can bring with a very special poem published in the post entitled 🎊 Season Greetings from SoundEagle: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Joyful Holiday 🎄🎅⛄.

You are very welcome. Thank you for visiting mine. May you find something worthwhile and enjoyable during your visit!
Hi Salvatore, thank you very much for your visit and compliment. SoundEagle is also delighted that you will return to interact with SoundEagle later. In a relatively short time, you have established a very nice blog featuring poetic writtings and new-age spirituality beyond a personal god and organized religion, as well as the lovely music "Prema Shakti – Pulse of Love", plus a new Facebook page showing some jewellery and inspirational photos and quotes. Well done!
Thanks for liking our blog. God bless you.
You are welcome, Marwyn. SoundEagle is currently working on a special post, which will contain Art, Graphics, Poem, Music, Video, Game and Puzzle. Please follow or subscribe to SoundEagle to be notified of new posts. Happy April to you and your family!
Great creativity and thanks for visit my site. Cheers!
You are very welcome. May your website be a great success and improve in leaps and bounce!
Thank you, Kitty, for the nomination and recognition of SoundEagle's blog with the Shine On Award. SoundEagle is delighted that you find this website and its styles and/or contents to your liking.
It is often very hard to find enough time and energy to blog with original contents. SoundEagle wonders how you are able to publish a great number of posts on a regular basis, and hopes that you could kindly shed some light on this matter. Thank you in anticipation.
Thank you, Michael, for your compliment. SoundEagle has just finished composing a very long reply to an excellent comment left by a follower for the somewhat comic and humorous post at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/soundeagle-in-debating-animal-artistry-and-musicality/. Please enjoy!
Ha, this site is trippy, I love it. Can't wait to explore more here!
Thank you and please enjoy to your heart's content!
Wish you all the best in all your projects. I'll drop by from time to time.
Hi belsbror, SoundEagle wonders what auspicious wind has brought you over here to leave plenty of "Likes" finishing with your current feedback. Thank you.
Are you in pursuit of intellectual, multimedia and multidisciplinary stimulations or lively interchange of thoughts and ideas? If so, there are some very engaging discussions in the commenting sections of many posts and pages, in which SoundEagle would like to encourage you to participate.
The way you wrote your goals, apart from having spend 15 minutes looking at the dictionary trying to find out what most of the words meant, is the best well put About page I´ve read.
Happy November to you, charlypriest! SoundEagle is both honoured and delighted that you considered it worthwhile to consult the dictionary for a quarter of an hour to understand the contents and "goals" as you perused this "About" page, of which you have such a high opinion.
Please feel free to visit and rummage this multimedia blog and multidisciplinary website to discover an assortment of prose, poetry, art, graphics, cartoons, animations, games, puzzles, music and video. SoundEagle hopes that you will find both the visual and sonic arrangements to your liking and fascination.
My visual and sonic arrangements are to my liking fascination.
Screwby-that´s a word, not quite sure what it means but I like the sound of it.
This is a very impressive blog. It is hard to create a blog that has so many separate branches; however, the significant consideration you put into each category helps maintain relevance for every field. Also, your organization of this blog makes it easily manageable for newcomers such as myself. You blog is great for those that want more than the typical afternoon break — your blog clearly promotes thought. I really mean this, as reading your "Soundeagle's Writing Guidelines" post reminded me of being in my Academic Writing class at UCSB.
There is one suggestion that I have for the blog, though I would understand if you prefer to disagree. Each individual post contains a lot of information. For example, the quote page had many interesting quotes rather than just one or two. This is usually fine, but sometimes, it can detract from the power of something that deserved to be given more attention. Hopefully the reader does spend enough time to thoroughly contemplate the messages of such content, but it is not guaranteed they will even look at more than half of them before they become lazy and quickly read through to get to the end. Also, I am sure you know this already, but it can take while to load some of the pages.
Thanks for reading my blog, and good luck on the continued success of the Soundeagle blog. Happy holidays!
Hi Cameron, SoundEagle is delighted that you have taken the time and care to review this blog, which you consider to be "very impressive", whose organization "makes it easily manageable for newcomers", whose contents "clearly promotes thought", and whose Writing Guidelines hark back to your "Academic Writing class at UCSB".
The subject matters are (inter)related, expansive, complex, holistic, multipronged, multimodal, multifaceted and/or multidisciplinary.
The fragmentation, truncation or division of certain contents is undesirable.
Additional benefits and depths can be gained from holism, synergy and interactivity where the whole is more than the sum total of its parts.
Page loading time can be a significant factor until WordPress can implement smart caching or AJAX technology such that loaded widgets are not reloaded.
In any case, judicious formatting with headings, subheadings, paragraphs, lists, graphics and illustrations as well as integrating multiple components and interfaces to achieve a stylish and consistent design should greatly increase clarity as well as readers' attention (span) and retention rate.
Hello Sound Eagle– never have I had so many likes in one hour on my posts! I had to follow those breadcrumbs back here to see who was such a fast reader! You have an unbelievable blog here rich with entertainment, enrichment, empowerment and enlightenment! Thank you for following me this evening.
Hi Little Miss Menopause, it is delightful that you have picked up the trace of SoundEagle's visit by following the long trail of "Likes" left on your wonderful blog full of excellent posts with provoking and titillating accounts. Thank you.
Thank you for observing and appreciating SoundEagle's diverse presentations of intellectual, artistic, multimedia and multidisciplinary posts and pages on this blog via some lively intermixing of arenas, thoughts and ideas, in which you are always welcome to participate.
For example, if you like and excel in the Daily Writing Challenges, there is a new and different kind with more creative potential and associative freedom at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2013/09/07/daily-wisdom-word-quote-article-history-birthday-and-news/ (or https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/news/daily-wisdom/), not to mention the chance to net yourself a special, eye-catching SoundEagle Daily Wisdom Award batch designed by SoundEagle. Enjoy!
Thank you for stopping by Stephanie's and Liking my comments. I am glad that you "introduced" yourself in that way so I would meet you here. I am fascinated by the design of your blog. I look forward to looking around. I love your colors and graphics. I am inspired by how you pushed the limits of wordpress.com. I appreciate your generous sharing.
Hi WeaverGrace, SoundEagle is delighted that you considered it worthwhile to comment on your visit to this "eyrie" whose design, colours and graphics appeal to you and your senses.
Yes, you can actually play games and puzzles in SoundEagle's main website, as well as listen to original musical compositions in several ways, including music synchoronized to computer-generated animations.
Please enjoy the website! SoundEagle looks forward to your feedback and to interacting with you at one or more of these websites. 🙂 If you like and nurture your proclivity for deep reflections and poetic sublimations, SoundEagle hopes to have the pleasure and honour of your visits to and comments on some of SoundEagle's posts and pages, especially if you like multimedia, multiplicity and multidisciplinarity.
May you have a Joyous Festive Season and a Happy 2015!
If somebody was to ask me now, "Do you believe in love at first sight?" I would respond with a big direct YES coz you made me fall in love with your blog at once Soundeagle! I love the way you write and you have a great sense of humor. And your blog both astounds me and makes me wanna read more!
My favourite thought " In life, never stop dreaming coz it's in Dreams that we never stop Living." I really want to make our world a better place.
'The Invictus Soul is all about making ourselves unconquerable. Because we're all Breathing but not everyone is Living!
We gotta believe that we ARE different and that we ARE special. Be the change and the world will change for us. It's never too late!
Please follow the link to receive the SoundEagle Appreciation Award. Congratulations!
I've just received a run of expressed "likes" in my notifications box and sent under your name – so, I am just dropping a note to say thank you.
First, thanks for liking my comment at another's blog page.
Second, there seems to be a lot to see here so will check maybe later.
Third, where'd you get that rotating award cube? 'cause I'd like to ask permission to use it. So cool!!!
May you have a prosperous year of 2015!
Hi J.Gi! 🦅SoundEagle hopes that the End has continued to Justify the Journey for you in your "effanineffable universe in a nutshell", and that you will visit 🦅SoundEagle once in a while to discover, experience and comment on many more elements and ideas as well as styles and contents that are even more fascinating than the "rotating award cube" that you saw on this webpage.
You are very welcome, J.Gi!
your have a very colourful and creative blog !
Hi Steve! I left two comments on your post entitled "A Day Of Loving" in celebration of Valentine's Day and as a response to your post there. For some reason, at least one of the comments just disappeared after I submitted them.
Please check your Discussion Settings and also Comment Moderation.
When you visit those two webpages, you are very welcome to leave your comments there. May you enjoy my poems and graphics as well as other contents there!
I made a couple of changes to the settings, but I write this blog in connection with my church. And while they invite short, responsible comments, they make some suggestions as to the control of all comments…Thank you for the information.
Pleased to meet you. I'm very glad you located my site.
Likewise, GP Cox! How have you been?
Please feel free to indulge yourself in the multimedia contents of 🦅SoundEagle's multidisciplinary website from time to time.
Intelligent and creative place here! All the best!
Hello Mathias! Thank you for your visit and compliment. Were you able to listen to the music as you browsed the current page here?
Apart from music, please be informed that you might need to use a desktop or laptop computer with a large screen to view the rich multimedia contents available for heightening your multisensory enjoyment at this website, which could be too powerful and feature-rich for iPad, iPhone, tablet or other portable devices to handle properly or adequately.
Also, if you would like to see and use animations and/or games on certain posts and pages on this website, then your computer or mobile device must be Flash-enabled. Otherwise, you will see only static images where those animations and/or games would have appeared to engage you in a variety of styles and contexts.
Hi! Thanks for the info. Yes, I could look around a bit and enjoy, for example, "Where The Eagles Fly." This one had a quite meditative effect on me. Your website is a vast and diverse garden that takes more time to explore fully. So, I will come back:-) Take care.
Thank you, Mathias, for conferring your positive feedback on 🦅SoundEagle, who, as a result, is both delighted and encouraged to have further opportunities to interact with you.
It has come into 🦅SoundEagle's awareness that you have a special appreciation for, or an affinity towards, the meditative quality of the musical composition entitled Where The Eagles Fly, and that you have taken the time to visit 🦅 SoundEagle in SoundCloud: Art, Music and Compositions about New Sensations, Love, Life, Country, Nature, Dreaming, Meditation and Spirituality 🏞🎼🎶 (in post format). Thus, it would be 🦅SoundEagle's pleasure to inform you that Where The Eagles Fly can be both musically and visually experienced at 🎇 Dynamic Visualization of Music as New Sensations Where The Eagles Fly: Animation in High Definition on Large Screen 💻🎼🎆.
In addition, should you be interested in the detailed and multipronged discussions between 🦅SoundEagle and 🐢SeaTurtle about certain compositional elements of, and listeners' reactions to, the music that you have auditioned so far, then please kindly visit the comment section of SoundEagle in SoundCloud 🌬🎧 (in page format), where you are very welcome to read and join our discussions.
Hello Mathias! Please be informed that your blog seems to be not accepting comments. Your excellent post entitled "Why People Justify Social Systems That Disadvantage Them" was visited and read by SoundEagle🦅, who attempted to respond with a comment that the special post entitled "🦅 SoundEagle in Best Moment Award from Moment Matters 🔖🏆" contains certain videos and discussions about some issues similar to those uncovered by System Justification Theory (SJT).
I look forward to reading your blog, it looks and sounds captivating. There is a little bit of something for everyone. I have a lot of catching up to do with your blog. Thanks for the follow and for your kind words.
Hi grevisangel73! Before January ends and February starts, SoundEagle would like to wish you, somewhat belatedly, all the best that 2018 can bring with a very special poem published in the post entitled 🎊 Season Greetings from SoundEagle: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Joyful Holiday 🎄🎅⛄.
The occurrence and the nature of wars and conflicts invariably raise more questions than there are answers. As Jane Goodall found out, our closest relatives, the chimpanzees, also wage wars against each other. According to some estimates, the largest global trade is the sale of arms and weapons.
I concur with the many cogent points and critical issues raised by Grevisangel73 in the post. In addition, I applaud the author for the wise and judicious choice of concluding the post with some excellent and pertinent quotations, which echo and encapsulate the wretchedness of war, violence, tribalism and jingoism quite well.
Hence, SoundEagle would like to introduce you to a post entitled The Quotation Fallacy "💬", which can firmly constitute excellent food for thought as well as a splendid guide for living a more examined life. May you find The Quotation Fallacy "💬" as enjoyable as it is edifying!
Hi Sound Eagle, thank you for your kind words and comments. I also want to wish the best for you for this year of 2018. I have not been as active on here as I would like. The every day challenges and so little precious time have taken me away from my creative endeavors more than I would have liked.
I agree with the points you have brought up, they are valid and important. Hopefully further research and education will give us a better understanding of our violent natures, urges and tendencies.
I don't know if it is possible to learn empathy, as higher functioning creatures, I would think we should be able to, but there are so many other contributing factors. It may just bean inevitability that we must live with.
I appreciate your comments and observations concerning my post,"I Knew A Man".
I will be sure and check out both of the posts you mentioned.
I really appreciate your thoughts. That piece has been controversial, some people I don't think were able to get the point that I was trying to make. At least I got them to think, Thanks again.
Hello prior..! Given the time of the year, just before January ends and February starts, SoundEagle would like to wish you, somewhat belatedly, all the best that 2018 can bring with a very special poem published in the post entitled 🎊 Season Greetings from SoundEagle: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Joyful Holiday 🎄🎅⛄.
Since you like soothing music, you will be pleased to find that there are more pieces of musical compositions ready for you to enjoyed thoroughly at 🦅 SoundEagle in SoundCloud: Art, Music and Compositions about New Sensations, Love, Life, Country, Nature, Dreaming, Meditation and Spirituality 🏞🎼🎶, which is a post as "original and artsy" as this "About" page.
I enjoy the depth, magnitude and comprehensive valuable stuff in your work. What ever one chooses to read or find it's all there. Thank you for what you do and for finding The Daedelus Files.
WOW! This is not a website, this is an EXPERIENCE! So happy you stopped by my blog which is pretty boring compared to this fantastic place. Feeling it! Love the music too.
Hello Catherine! As the festive season is drawing to a close and February is just around the corner, SoundEagle hopes that you have had a wonderful time celebrating the dawn of 2018 whilst having a great holiday with your family and friends. Wishing you, somewhat belatedly, all the best that 2018 can bring with a very special poem published in the post entitled 🎊 Season Greetings from SoundEagle: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Joyful Holiday 🎄🎅⛄.
Thank you for your visit and compliment, and for being observant about, and receptive towards, the presentational and experiential aspects of SoundEagle's "About" page, beyond what its diverse contents convey about this website being a garden of art, science, poetry, music, video, graphics, cartoons, animations, games and puzzles in a beautiful, dynamically syndicated press containing posts, buzzes, events and social media updates. Hence, SoundEagle has good reasons to be truly delighted by your regarding this "About" page to be an "EXPERIENCE", to use your own word.
Also comparable in quality, expanse and "EXPERIENCE" reaching "the depth of real sensory stimulation" is the most recent post, aptly named The Quotation Fallacy "💬", which can firmly constitute excellent food for thought as well as a splendid guide for living a more examined life. May you find the post as enjoyable as it is edifying!
SoundEagle would also like to wish you many great satisfactions and wonderful fulfilments in all of your creative ventures and literary endeavours, regardless of the genres in which you choose to write and publish.
Your page is so beautiful! I have enjoyed my visit… I would love such an artistic mindset to be apart of my next STEAM event. Would you be interested?
Happy 2018 to all of you at pinkleaderboard! SoundEagle appreciates your taking the time to visit and comment here, and delights in your perceptiveness towards beautiful styling of webpages.
Thank you for mentioning your next STEAM event. Could you please kindly explain to SoundEagle about the event?
Hello Cheryle! Now that it is April, SoundEagle🦅 would like to reciprocate your love and light with another "visual and auditory feast" in a special multimedia post at 🦅 SoundEagle in April Love and Dove, Art and Heart, Game and Puzzle, Music and Video 🕊💌💘. Please enjoy to your heart's content!

A very warm welcome to Raili from Soul Gifts! Thank you for visiting to take a quick look and leaving here with a terminator-like vow to return with a grand entrance and proper inspection. With the blessings of your goodness, SoundEagle🦅 can earnestly look forward to our forthcoming interactions in this blog that is something else, in this other universe, or Willy Wonkaland, as you put it!
SoundEagle🦅 hopes that you are doing and feeling reasonably well in the knowledge that you are still 'off the air' spending your first ever voluntary time out with family in Victoria as you farewell your brother-in-law.
Thank you Sound Eagle. We have just returned home from a week of tears, love and laughter, as is always the case when saying a sad goodbye. And yes, we did have a quiet Valentine's dinner on the road home in our motel at Ballarat.
Hi Mathias! Please kindly be informed that your blog is still not accepting comments when SoundEagle🦅 attempted to communicate with you at your post entitled "Token of Humanity (Sharing https://dreampack.org/2018/03/02/token-humanity-march-2018/)", where you forward the Token of Humanity to SoundEagle🦅, who is honoured to be one of your eight chosen blogger friends to receive the Token.
Reciprocating your good spirit and admirable gesture, you are thereby cordially invited to join SoundEagle🦅 on a special journey along which to further our spiritual growth and consolidate our wisdom, as facilitated by a careful and thorough reading of the motivational, existential, analytical and philosophical post entitled "🦅 SoundEagle in Best Moment Award from Moment Matters 🔖🏆", which is now much extended and further improved since you last visited and read it.
Furthermore, given the time of the year, SoundEagle🦅 would like to wish you a very Happy April with a thematic multimedia post at 🦅 SoundEagle in April Love and Dove, Art and Heart, Game and Puzzle, Music and Video 🕊💌💘.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback and inspiration. I don't know why your comment didn't come through there. But I'm delighted to have gotten your rich inspiration and gifts here. I've found the "Love's forte" poem, beautiful! All the best!
Hello Mathias! Perhaps changing or experimenting with your comment moderation settings may present the solution.
Thank you, Mathias, for playing hide and seek with SoundEagle🦅's poem entitled Love's Forte, which is also available in dramatically different and sophisticated styles in two other thematic multimedia posts at 🦅 SoundEagle in Love and Dove, Art and Heart on Valentine's Day with Gifts 🎁💝🕊💌💘 as well as Celebrate Valentine's Day with Romantic Orchid Display, Art, Poetry and Game 💝🕊💌💘, the last of which even has several animated and interactive gold fish swimming around, if your web browser can handle Flash graphics.
Moreover, SoundEagle🦅 is delighted that you have instinctively recognized that Love's Forte is the poem's title, which is only shown in the other two versions that you have not yet seen.
And, always good to hear from you and your truly unique corner of the blogosphere:-). Amazing!
You are very welcome, Mathias! Moreover, SoundEagle🦅 has just featured the Token of Humanity at 🦅 SoundEagle Appreciation Award 🎖, a special post containing stylized animated tributes.

May you find and savour the poem in the said stylish multimedia post! Please enjoy!

It is now the time of the year when SoundEagle🦅 would like to wish you a very special Happy April with a creative multimedia post for your utter multisensory enjoyment via your participating with 🦅 SoundEagle in April Love and Dove, Art and Heart, Game and Puzzle, Music and Video 🕊💌💘.
The back ground music on this is so soothing … is that you playing SoundEagle?
The "background music" is actually an original composition entitled "Where The Eagles Fly", entirely played and sequenced by SoundEagle, who has now moved it to the top of this "About" page for you to access and audition it more easily. Moreover, you are welcome to visualize the composition at 🎇 Dynamic Visualization of Music as New Sensations Where The Eagles Fly: Animation in High Definition on Large Screen 💻🎼🎆.
Even more SoundEagle's musical compositions can be enjoyed at 🦅 SoundEagle in SoundCloud: Art, Music and Compositions about New Sensations, Love, Life, Country, Nature, Dreaming, Meditation and Spirituality 🏞🎼🎶.
I love this! You are very talented – lovely music!
A big HELLO to Craig from the land of Kiwi!
Thank you for visiting SoundEagle🦅. Please feel free to explore this website to your heart's content, and to leave further thoughts or comments on what you encounter along the way.
Since you enjoy sunrise "from the First City to see the light", perhaps you also enjoy sunset equally or even more. Bearing this in mind, let's enjoy how sunset is musically depicted by an instrumental composition entitled The Sunset Lingers On, available in two parts at 🦅 SoundEagle in SoundCloud: Art, Music and Compositions about New Sensations, Love, Life, Country, Nature, Dreaming, Meditation and Spirituality 🏞🎼🎶.
SoundEagle, you're truly an enigma. Your blog is a window into your creative mind, but still you're able to withhold enough to leave me wondering. There are so many questions that I won't even begin to ask. Now I'm off to dig deeper into your blog.

Pa Then ethnic group has more than 5000 members mainly living in the two districts of Bac Quang and Quang Binh of Ha Giang province and Chiem Hoa district of Tuyen Quang province. Before the 1990s, Pa Then ethnic people lived in remote and mountainous areas. They were self-sufficient and earned their livings mainly from terrace farming. In the 1980s, they moved down to lowland areas such as My Bac hamlet, Tan Bac commune, Quang Binh district, Ha Giang province today.
Pa Then ethnic people sustained their lives by terrace farming, wet rice farming and cultivation of crops. Living next to other ethnic groups, Pa Then ethnic culture in general and spiritual beauty of traditional costumes of Pa Then woman in particular remain unchanged as many striking features of their culture have been handed down from generation to generation.
When it comes to Pa Then ethnic group, we cannot resist the charming beauty of costumes of Pa Then ethnic women. The costumes not only protect human bodies but also carry high aesthetic value thanks to scarlet threads. The headscarf of Pa Then ethnic women is pretty special. Before wearing the headscarf, they roll their hair tidily to support the headscarf. The headscarf is wrapped up into round layers. It looks similar to that of Kinh ethnic women but has a larger diameter. Remarkably, it is decorated with clusters of colorful thread tassels which cascade down onto the wearer's ears.
Elderly women or women with mature children wear a simple headscarf like this. It can be said that Pa Then women's headscarf is more than a hair accessory because it distinguishes ages and family conditions of wearers. The most attractive part of Pa Then women's costumes is the blouse which has no collar but instead has two front flaps that are crossed when worn. The black flap is often longer than the front flaps. The sleeves and the body of the blouse have vibrant warm tone. Young women often wear a white shirt under the red upper blouse. The white collar then will go on top of the red base, making it more beautiful. The belt is tied around the wearer's waist to keep the costume neat and increase the charm of the wearer.
The red skirt makes the costume more charming. It has folded lines in the upper hem. Its body is grafted from 5 pieces of cloth lengthwise with a well-matched layout. Pa Then women's costumes are appealing thanks to the harmonious mixture of hand-embroidered brocade pieces and grafted fabrics. On the red foundation are the handy embroidered geometrical shapes while the lower sleeves and two crossed front flaps' fringes are grafted with black blocs.
Pa Then women adorn themselves with sparkling necklaces and bracelets. Normally, they wear several silver necklaces of different sizes. The sparkling silver necklaces stand out against the red background of the blouse. They often wear pennies on their chest. The pennies will make ear-catching sound when the wearer moves. It can be said that which are reflected clearly through colors and decoration patterns which are unmistakable.
Elaborately-made costumes are not only worn in daily life but also used in rituals and become an indispensable part of Pa Then people's spiritual life. Pa Then people never stop turning towards their roots. This is reflected clearly through Pa Then women's costumes. It's not by chance that the belt has 8 clusters of white thread tassels cascading down around the skirt. The 8 clusters represent their 8 native family lines. It can be said that Pa Then people always turn their mind towards the family and the ancestors.
It takes Pa Then women much time and effort to make sets of costumes. The most difficult step is embroidering decoration patterns so that the patterns rise against the surface of the cloth and contrasting colors are made. They often embroider patterns of different shapes and colors on the same piece of cloth. Thanks to skillfulness, Pa Then ethnic women have long found the way to weave colored threads into fine patterns.
Pa The women work the looms to make unique brocade patterns. The looms have simple structure. There are different ways to combine colored threads to make different patterns. It can be said that the simple looms prove endless creativity of Pa Then ethnic people. With the looms, they have created patterns with high artistic value. After weaving pieces of brocade cloth, Pa Then people graft the pieces together into sets of costumes. As for Pa Then women, weaving and embroidery prove their skillfulness and resourcefulness. It's a must for women to have husbands.
In spiritual life, Pa Then people believe in supernatural powers and think that everything has a soul. That's why they conduct many offering rituals in the year. The ritual on the 15th day of the 5th lunar month every year is noticeable. The ritual is to pray for bumper crops. On this day, all families in My Bac hamlet, Tan Bac commune, Quang Binh district, Ha Giang province, makes cakes in the early morning. Adults hurriedly prepare for offerings. Children eagerly wait to deal out consecrated cakes. There is a kind of cake that is made of sticky rice and wrapped in "non" leaves. Among the offerings, "sung trau" (buffalo-shaped horn) cake is the most important and indispensable.
Although "sung trau" cakes are used in spiritual rituals, it's not difficult to make them. High quality sticky rice, ash, "non" leaves and bamboo laths are required to make the cake. Unlike people of other ethnic groups who soak sticky rice into water before making "sung trau" cakes. Pa Then people wrap sticky rice mixed well with a little ash in "non" leaves and then soak packs of cake into water. With skillfulness, women create conical packs from "non" leaves. Then put sticky rice into the packs before folding up the bottom of the conical packs. The "sung trau" cake is made of sticky rice without stuffing as they think the cake is mainly to show off the tastiness of sticky rice. This is the way they inform the ancestors of the fruits of their labor in the last crop. The packs of cakes are tied into pairs before being boiled.
"Sung trau" cakes are often made by women in the family. Meanwhile, men are in charge of preparing and burning votive paper for the ancestors. Like people of other groups, Pa Then people believe that the dead in the next world have to spend money on all daily activities in the way the living in this world do. That's why they often burn votive paper on such occasions.
During the festival, many families prepare an offering food tray with many other dishes. On the 15th day of the 5th lunar month, Pa Then people feast their friends and relatives to mark a prosperous year. The offering food tray is prepared heartily. After 2 -3 hors, pairs of "sung trau" cakes are already boiled to a turn. The cakes are offered to the ancestors and the gods. After all the rituals are conducted, family members deal out consecrated pairs of "sung trau" cakes. Like other ethnic groups engaged in agriculture. Pa Then people appreciate buffaloes. Thus, "sung trau" cakes are used as offerings to show off their dream of a prosperous life.
In addition, the "sung trau" cake has another spiritual meaning. It shows off a unique cult in agriculture of Pa Then people. Eagerness of children…Excitement of adults…All Pa Then ethnic people believe that when they offer "sung trau" cakes to the ancestors, the ancestors will keep their buffaloes healthy and then they will definitely harvest bumper crops. The delicious "sung trau" cake also creates a unique cult in agriculture of Pa Then ethnic people.
During free time, Pa Then ethnic mothers often teach their daughters to weave brocade. Brocade weaving and embroidery has become a fine feature of ethnic culture and handed down from generation to generation. Efforts of Pa Then ethnic people to preserve values of traditional culture should be respected. The vitality of the ethnic culture will definitely be preserved for good taking up a decent position in vibrant Vietnamese culture.

Q: Is there a keyboard shortcut to open a mounted TrueCrypt container? Problem
I would like to open a mounted TrueCrypt container with a keyboard shortcut.

Currently, I'm opening it by double-clicking the volume. See screenshot above. Instead of using the mouse, I'd like to use the keyboard. But there seems to be no way.
Versions

*

*TrueCrypt 7.1.a

*Windows 7 64bit

Failed attempts

*

*When you right-click on the volume, there is a "Open" command in the context menu. So, I've tried to open the context menu with the context
menu key on the Windows keyboard. But strangely enough that does not open the
context menu.

*I've also tried Shift+F10 to open the context menu, but that does not work either.

*There is no "Open" command in the menues (Volume, System, Favorites, Tools, Settings, Help), so I can't press for instance Alt+V to open a menu and go from there.

*I tried to use AutoHotKey to send a double-click command, but that does not work because the double-click is sent to the current mouse position and not the current selection, which would my selected TrueCrypt volume.

*There would be a HotKeys dialog in menu Settings > Hot Keys... But there seems to be no way, to add or configure a hotkey for "Open".

Workaround
My current workaround is to tick "Open Explorer window for successfully  mounted volume" in the menu Settings > Preferences...

A: Why not create a shortcut to the TrueCrypt executable and append the appropriate command-line arguments (such as /volume /password /explore), or create a shortcut to a batch file with the appropriate commands? This will allow you to set up a keyboard shortcut to mount the volume as well as open an Explorer window if the mount operation was successful.
See detailed command-line option listing for TrueCrypt here.

BEYOND THE GRAVE Trailer, Images!
Lockheart Filmes Ltda. presents the first full trailer of the independent Brazilian horror-fantasy BEYOND THE GRAVE (aka PORTO DOS MORTOS). The preview of the feature film can be viewed at the official website www.beyondthegravemovie.com. Written and directed by Davi de Oliveira Pinheiro (who's also producing with Isidoro B. Guggiana), BEYOND THE GRAVE follows the unstoppable hunt of the vengeful cop Lockheart (Rafael Tombini) for Adam, a supernatural serial killer. The film is currently in post-production and looking for international distribution.
The storyline of BEYOND THE GRAVE follows a dark journey through the wastelands of a dystopic Brazil. In this forsaken landscape, Lockheart will join forces with a group of survivors and face his demonic nemesis and the rage of the "returners" who inhabited the world. "This is not a zombie or serial killer film, but a reaction to the recent production as well as to my own preconceptions of what the movie should be. It's a violent and emotional experience, mixing possession, black magic, the living dead and intense doses of suspense, character work and spanking action", believes Davi.
BEYOND THE GRAVE was shot in 22 days between the months of February and April in the city of Porto Alegre and surroundings. Locations were specifically chosen and/or adapted for the pessimistic and particular look of the world created by the first time feature director. A crew of forty people was assembled to bring his dream project to life. "BEYOND THE GRAVE is full of strong characters and cool set pieces that I have thought for a long time. It's a real dream to be able to bring such intense images to the screen", says Davi.

Did you know that about 20% of the children in your swim school have the personality trait of high sensitivity?
Research conducted by clinical and research psychologist, Elaine Aron, PhD and others has found that approximately 20% of the population identifies with the personality or temperament trait of high sensitivity.
Thanks to the pioneering research of Dr Elaine Aron we now understand that being highly sensitive is not a character flaw or a disorder, nor is it caused by environmental circumstances, rather it is a unique and equally valid way of experiencing the environment that offers many distinct advantages in certain situations.
The trait is visible from birth and children with the trait are deeply reflective, sensitive to the subtle, and easily overwhelmed. These are the children that are the most likely to postpone starting lessons or drop out at times of transition due to overwhelm.
Teachers and their parents may see them as fussy, wimpy, shy and difficult children that need to be toughened up and fixed from their apparent "disorder". However, trait sensitivity is not a disorder and not the same as sensitivity due to Autism Spectrum or Sensory Processing Disorder.
As a personal who identifies with the trait of high sensitivity herself, Janine can offer a depth of understanding only possible from someone with lived experienced.

Wilhelm Steinitz, the trailblazer
5/8/2006 – He was the first official World Champion, but Wilhelm Steinitz often doesn't receive the honor he's due. In his Monday night Playchess lecture Dennis Monokroussos show you how the 59-year-old defeated world champion Emanuel Lasker in the 1895/96 St. Petersburg tournament. A remarkably energetic effort.
Dennis Monokroussos writes:
The first official world champion, Wilhelm Steinitz, doesn't receive the honor he's due as a great player and a trailblazer. But this week we'll do what we can to rectify this. We'll focus on his game against world champion Emanuel Lasker from the 1895/96 St. Petersburg tournament, a remarkably energetic game won by Steinitz – at age 59 – over his 27-year-old rival.
The opening should be of great interest to club players, as Steinitz successfully uses a plan that has long disappeared from professional play but which still gives amateurs fits. We'll discuss the proper solution here and in another, analogous and relevant case. Steinitz's play in this game is a model: the opening succeeds, the middlegame finds him increasing his advantage by positional means, and then, once Lasker tries desperately to sharpen things up, Steinitz finishes him off with a sac and an attack.
It's a game worth seeing and studying, so please join me this Monday night at 9 pm ET – hope to see you then!
Dennis Monokroussos' Radio ChessBase lectures begin on Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT, which translates to 02:00h GMT, 03:00 Paris/Berlin, 13:00h Sydney (on Tuesday). Other time zones can be found at the bottom of this page. You can use Fritz or any Fritz-compatible program (Shredder, Junior, Tiger, Hiarcs) to follow the lectures, or download a free trial client.

Enter the above archive room and click on "Games" to see the lectures. The lectures, which can go for an hour or more, will cost you between one and two ducats. That is the equivalent of 10-20 Euro cents (14-28 US cents).
Dennis Monokroussos is 39, lives in South Bend, IN, and is an adjunct professor of philosophy at the University of Notre Dame.
He is fairly inactive as a player right now, spending most of his non-philosophy time being a husband and teaching chess. At one time he was one of the strongest juniors in the U.S., but quit for about eight years starting in his early 20s. His highest rating was 2434 USCF, but he has now fallen to the low-mid 2300s – "too much blitz, too little tournament chess", he says.
Dennis has been working as a chess teacher for seven years now, giving lessons to adults and kids both in person and on the internet, worked for a number of years for New York's Chess In The Schools program, where he was one of the coaches of the 1997-8 US K-8 championship team from the Bronx, and was very active in working with many of CITS's most talented juniors.
When Dennis Monokroussos presents a game, there are usually two main areas of focus: the opening-to-middlegame transition and the key moments of the middlegame (or endgame, when applicable). With respect to the latter, he attempts to present some serious analysis culled from his best sources (both text and database), which he has checked with his own efforts and then double-checked with his chess software.
