A notification will be sent to when the Emily Saliers - Murmuration Nation (Vinyl LP) is back in stock.
Thirty years into one of the most storied careers in popular music, Emily Saliers decided to record her debut album. "What's a 53 year old woman doing making her first solo record?" muses Saliers, best known as one half of the iconic duo Indigo Girls. "What compels someone like me to follow this strong attachment to rhythmic music?" Murmuration Nation answers those questions both passionately and profoundly. In this "post-fact" era in which we find ourselves living today, Saliers' fearless voice and insightful perspective feel more vital and relevant than ever before. The songs also reveal a new side of Saliers' artistry, one that even her most ardent fans might not expect to hear.
While Indigo Girls is still very much alive and well, Murmuration Nation is Saliers' first release under her own name, and it's a surprising journey indeed. The record brims over with life and energy, blurring both musical and geographical boundaries as Saliers breaks down barriers with a bold and infectious spirit of adventure. Recorded with an all-star band - including bassist Tim LeFebvre (David Bowie, Tedeschi Trucks Band), keyboardist Rachel Eckroth (KT Tunstall), and drummers Robert "Sput" Searight (Snarky Puppy) and Will Calhoun (Living Colour) – and featuring guest appearances from fellow luminaries like Lucy Wainwright Roche, Jonatha Brooke, and Jennifer Nettles, the album explores the kind of rhythmically centered, globally inspired music that's always held a special place in Saliers' heart.
The result is a record that defies easy categorization, with Saliers effortlessly mixing disparate musical traditions underneath poetic lyrics that take their cues from the natural world around us. Album opener "Spider," for instance, brings together hints of heavy metal and Native American a capella music as Saliers weaves an arachno-centric metaphor for geopolitical trickery, while Spanish guitar gives way to orchestral strings and an electronic beat on the slithering "Serpent Love," and the elegant "Fly" draws on avian inspiration for its message of community and cooperation.
On further songs like "Train Inside" and "Long Haul," she leans on her vintage country and folk roots, while "Poethearted" and "Slow Down Day Friend" showcase her love of the ukulele (which replaces the acoustic guitar she's so traditionally identified with here), and "Match" and "Sad One" offer beautiful, bittersweet perspectives on the highs and lows of love. Though Saliers' songwriting always comes from a deeply personal place, she isn't afraid to look beyond herself and examine the big picture with her music, tackling America's obsession with guns on "OK Corral," the violent results of religious zealotry "I'm High I'm On High," and our complicated relationship with southeast Asia on "Hello Vietnam."


I own a two manual Rodgers Organ with no MIDI.
I would like to know where I can buy a kit to put MIDI in both keyboards and pedal. If you know an address where I can get this controllers, I will really appreciate this.
You might contact Rodgers and ask for a referral or recommendation.
Google MIDI COnversion and also Organ MIDI conversion, and a number of pertinent hits come up.
I don;t know who is still in the business, but there used to be a few companies making MIDI add-on kits.

Are you all tired of the house talk yet?
Honestly it's the one I wanted more but I thought the price would turn him off.
I'm also thinking of using this vinyl to build on the dandelion theme. Maybe along the walls that wind down the stairs to the second bedroom.
See ladies. That's how it's done. Give your Hubs a few options and eventually he'll see the value that comes with the price. It won't happen overnight. My husband has been on the training program for 11 years now. But have patience and you'll get the ceiling light you secretly covet. Like me.
Next up. Painting our bedroom pink. Oy! That might take more "training".
Entry filed under: Home Related, house, Not Food Related. Tags: ceiling light, ikea, ps maskros.
i love the dandelion lamp! nice choice!
my husband is wonderful in that he generally doesn't care how i decorate, as long as it isn't too out there. we bought the ikea tylosand sofa two or three years ago and i wanted the burnt orange cover SO bad. my husband wanted the plain brown, but he let me get the orange (as long as when we bought new covers, i got brown – which i just did).
i miss my orange sofa, but i made up for it with an orange bed comforter. you should have seen the look on his face when he saw it!
ikea has the best lights! I can't wait to see your place all done up!! so exciting!
The trick for getting your husband to choose what you want is "false choice". Like, would you rather have the walls of the bedroom painted black or a nice shade of light pink? There is a good chance he will go for the "nice shade of light pink". Basically, you are offering two choices and avoiding one that you don't want to consider.
Is this considered manipulation??? Works also with "if you take the light pink, I will bake your favorite dish once a month. Otherwise, I will never again". That's blackmail. But it might work!
I like the dandilion better than the "onion". I think it has a lighter finish, more airy.
Oh, love the dandelion theme!
I have so many dreams of what to do with our place….but no funds. And right now, I can't even scrounge in Goodwill for good stuff. But I have my "look book" full of things I love…someday. Someday!
I am definitely not sick of hearing about the house. I'm actually excited to hear all your ideas because you are so creative. Your house is gong to look amazing!
lol I'm so impressed that your training is paying off! I'll have to try it on my husband :) LOVE the lamp and the wall vinyl! Can't wait to hear more about the house!
Decorating projects are so fun! Your new light looks spectacular.

Stefan Frei had six saves for his fifth shutout of the season, and the Seattle Sounders played to a scoreless draw with the Philadelphia Union on Saturday night.
Frei pushed Brenden Aaronson's shot to safety in the 18th minute and corralled the rebound of a low knuckler in the 53rd for the Sounders (7-1-5).
Andre Blake needed one save to register his second clean sheet of the year for the Union (7-3-3).

The McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (MDT) is a reliable assessment process effective in identifying: your mechanical diagnosis, the right course of care and how YOU can get it under control and keep it that way. If you are suffering from pain or difficulty associated with your spine or arms or legs, then an MDT assessment is an optimal place to start!
Developed by world-renowned expert physiotherapist Robin McKenzie in the 1950s, this assessment process and treatment approach was stumbled upon with one of his patients.
You can read more of that story here.
There are so many benefits of the MDT system, one of which is it's capability to accurately diagnose without the use of expensive diagnostic imaging (e.g. x-rays and MRIs). Additionally, through the careful assessment and the body's symptom and movement response it provides answers to the environment the body needs to repair itself. It doesn't involve the need for medication, heat, cold, ultrasound, needles, or surgery. The McKenzie assessment, properly applied, by a certified clinician allows patients to learn the principles and enables them to be in control of their own symptoms.
Hear from some of the most expert clinicians in the field of musculoskeletal and orthopedic care on the benefits of MDT.
Any reliable system must be supported through high-quality, peer reviewed-research. MDT has just that.
When you need help you want to feel confident that you're making the best choice. Here are some of my performance indicators.

Can you visualize the view from your appointed warrior angel's gaze? The people in your life, the life for which they are charged by God Most High to fight for in the heavenlies – the ones all around you … the gaze is sure to be unique to the heavenly beings who are on assignment for your behalf – to them, the movement of joys and pains and emotions and people moving in and out of our lives must look like a perfected pattern in a kaleidoscope rather than chaos.
We often find our hearts in places that we have not asked for permission to enter, nor would we have bargained for permission if given the option. At stake, though, are precious souls whom we love … grabbing our bug-out bag and leaving in a cloud of dust is not an option.
Staying the God-given course we learn not to be perfect, but to be far better by being passed through the fire of self-examination/soul-examination and, in the process, being purified by the flames.
The kaleidoscope of your chaos has purpose, DearHeart. Burn deeper.
From the sleep, our body relaxes and then rattles back into morning. Every dream of the night, deep, daring, deliberate, serves to point us into desire for our union with the Holy One. We dream of reunion. We return from a rest of being born and reborn, night after night, with mud caked to the soles of our feet, our hair smelling like the damp earth, our sleep shirt singed on the edge from the campfire.
From the night-land, we step into day clothes and into day lives. We sit behind a wheel, behind a screen, behind a stove, in front of a boss, a teacher, a customer. We breathe the life of the Savior into every encounter if we so choose … our creations, our corporate world, our decisions, our art, our plans, our education, our industry, our rights, our freedoms, our duties. We breathe Him there. We set our hearts into Him by deliberate choice. The Creator-driven life is not only sustainable in our world, He sustains all worlds.
Life phases fascinate me. I read a chart recently where from birth to death, a human life was broken down into 7 year phases and each phase chronicled and named.
Seven, a number noteworthy from the beginning as Our Creator formed the earth in seven days, then a new phase began.
As you and I and the Holy Spirit transit together through cycles in life, the layers of instinct, defense, protection, become more refined, more and more sheer, until the very soul begins to shine through. Think about it – consider your current life-phase. If attentive, we can sense and see the movement of our soul in an astonishing way. The senses awaken in mystery – from a place in the deeper woods of our being, air acquires a new taste, mist gives sight, flowers can be heard, south winds give off a new scent. DearOne, in each cycle with the Savior, He is growing us into our own new Spiritual phase, our own rightful shape as His heir. This place in your life has purpose.
We can not stay in the ecstasy of perfect union with our people forever. Mothers, mates, children, siblings, friends – our work is to be weaned at some point from the sheer joy and security of these most powerful forces, yet stay in constant conscious connection to them as we move on to the next task. The Holy Spirit breathes years of nurture into each of our lives through His chosen ones. They are essential to our journey – then, they must be left, at least for a time, so the next stage of our veiled path can occur.
DearHeart, bidding a farewell, of any tearful fashion, renews the internal forces planted by the union. Then, with a childlike, timid step, we ease out on the path again, wandering toward a great woods with great faith that The God of the Angel Armies will, from the trees ahead, unveil new in us; something soulful will come.
The request places you and me into a kinship with His Word – He assists us to a brand new understanding with even the most familiar old verses … as if we are inside them, rather than as though they are outside of us. The simpleness of "help me, Lord" slides open a window where we can enter into inner hearing.
Listen now, to the God of guidance. Listen with soul-hearing. Listen, and He sews His wisdom by relaying impulses from His knowledge into the fibers of your muscles.
Breathe Him in with new hearing.


Caregiver Abuse: Is It Caused By Illness or Personality?
"How do I separate my loved one's old abusive behaviors from those caused by his illness?" It's a question I often hear from caregivers and one that's difficult to answer definitively. Yet it routinely impacts relationships between caregivers and their loved ones.

Required reading.
On August 11, 2010 By weiserbooksIn Uncategorized
Half way through August I find myself in an unreasonable panic. I haven't finished my summer reading yet! Now, I've been out of school for…well, let's just say a long, long time… but still I begin each summer with a list of books that I must read. Working where I do, I have access to an amazing library of occult and esoteric titles – books that I've been wanting to read for years, books that I've never heard of, and books that unnerve me just a little. Really – I wish you all could see these shelves! But one problem that arises with this kind of access is where to begin. What are the essentials – the "required reading" that anyone interested in an occult education must tackle? If you were offering an introductory course on the occult – what would you call it (Western Esoteric Classicism 101? Mystic Studies? Terrible Tomes?) and what would you put on your syllabus?

Beginning Magick 101 for me would consist of:
Magick Without Tears / Magick in Theory and Practice – Aleister Crowley
The New Magus – Donald Tyson
Cosmic Trigger / Prometheus Rising – Robert Anton Wilson
Unseen Spirits – Manly Palmer Hall
Enochian Physics – Gerald J. Schueler
Transcendental Magic – Eliphas Levi
Techniques of High Magic – Francis King and Stephen Skinner
The Masks of God – Joseph Campbell
Food of the Gods / The Archaic Revival – Terence McKenna

My required reading list trends more toward Wicca and Celtic Studies than general occult, but it is definitely in there; if anyone on our path wishes to practice magic, I honestly believe it's a good idea to understand how many believe it works (laws, relationships, dos & don'ts, etc), so some occult study is required.
First, as an homage to Isaac Bonewits and a true recommendation, I'd advise reading "Real Magic." Of the texts that explore the 'laws of magic', his is the most clear to understand. It's not a how-to, or why-to, but the very fundamentals of the occult and magic itself so that reading and applying the hows and whys are much more easily understood and done.
For the ethical side, or the "why-to", I recommend Carl McColman's "Before You Cast a Spell" and Robin Wood's "When, Why…If."
I also highly recommend Kerr Cuhulain's "The Law Enforcement Guide to Wicca," as it not talks about what Wicca is, but what it isn't, dispelling a lot of the silly law enforcement notions and myths like "the great god Samhain" or so-called black masses and whether or not Wicca is a cult as defined by law enforcement. If you have police officer friends, or folks having difficulty seperating urban legends from truth, this is a book you really need to have on hand. (It could also help if you yourself ever get into difficulties with the law over public rituals.)
There are also many arguments beyond that into what individual practitioners believe Wicca is or isn't, and frequently it boils down to individual paths, or those still trying to figure it out for themselves and getting confused in the process. And so: from a spiritual angle, and one that makes a lot of sense to me, is Ellen Cannon Reed's "The Heart of Wicca." I also still have great fondness for the book I began with, Starhawk's "The Spiral Dance."
For detangling the individual paths, and helping people figure out which one they're on: Margot Adler's classic "Drawing Down the Moon" and Patricia Telesco (editrix) "Which Witch Is Witch?" Margot Adler's goes much farther afield than just Wicca, which can be helpful to someone who feels kinship with Wicca but for whom it doesn't quite click; one of the other paths in there may be just right.
There are also the Wiccan classics, such as the works of Gerald Gardner, Charles Leland, Raymond Buckland, Scott Cunningham, Doreen Valiente, and (my favorite) the Farrars (especially "A Witch's Bible").
For Celtic studies…I could ramble a lot on this. But in the interests of conciseness and whetting appetites, this is my list:
"Magic of the Celtic Gods and Goddesses" by Carl McColman and Kathryn Hinds
"The Mabinogion"
"Celtic Heritage" by Alwyn and Brinley Rees
"The Apple Branch" by Alexei Kondratiev (R.I.P.!)
Although I think the question may refer more to an occult education for practitioners, we are strong believers in the complementary nature of the academic approach and its value to practitioners, scholars, as well as the educated layperson with an interest in the "forgotten" aspects of Western culture. From Western Esotericism 101 to Studies in Divination and explorations of Occultism in popular culture, readers may be interested in the reading lists for our courses covering a wide range of esoteric and occult topics… Despite our emphasis on the academic approach, we do not consider that the experiential nature of our subject areas should be sacrificed in the name of reductionism.
Apologies for the double comment – mistyped the website. Please note this is not intended as gratuitous advertising – this dialogue is one on which we have a strong position with regard to esoteric and occult education.

Newly minted pastor Ed Stetzer, writing in CNN.beliefnet, writes of his dealings with a man in his congregation. This person would often disappear for days at a time, and later Stetzer would hear that the fellow had spent hours praying the psalms. Later the man killed himself, leading Stetzer to reflect of aproaches churches could use to better engage parishioners with mental illness.
This led Spetzer to reflect on the kinds of practices that would lead to better acceptance of persons with mental illness. One of these is to view the church community as a refuge, as a place of welcome or safety. It is intriguing that the meaning of the word "asylum"—which not has such a negative connotation—means safe place or sanctuary.
Another needed practice is to recognize the effectiveness of medicine for many conditions. An outright effort at prayer or personal disciple simply may not help. So pastors are reminded to teach parishioners of the medical fact of the 21st century.
"I think there continues to be a certain stigma associated with emotional and mental problems. If you've got a pain in your side, if you've got an arthritic problem, you don't feel guilty because it's something physical. People say, 'This is something I don't have any control over, and I'm just going to take the medication the doctor prescribes.' But when people say, 'I have a mental illness. there's still that layer of moral impropriety that we should able to control this by an act of the will.
"Psychiatrist Robert Coles of Harvard University expresses understandable perplexity that so many officials of so many churches refer their clergy for therapy instead of turning to the spiritual or sacramental resources of religion itself. I can testify to the phenomenon but am not surprised by it.
AMHF encourages work between mental health practitioners and the clergy. This combined approach means that both spiritual and psychological needs will be considered.

Andre Raine, a 1993 Bermuda Program alum, is the project coordinator for the Kauai Endangered Seabird Recovery Project, which focuses on three species of endangered seabirds found on the island of Kauai: Newell's shearwater, the Hawaiian petrel, and the Band-rumped storm petrel. Much of his work involves identifying the breeding distribution of these seabirds, monitoring their breeding colonies, and working with project partners to ensure long-term conservation.

One of the most rewarding aspects of running a decades-long education program is following up with former students to learn where their experiences have taken them, both personally and professionally.
The Bermuda Program, now in its 43rd year, offers Bermudian students ages 18 and older the opportunity to work on research projects in marine and atmospheric sciences alongside BIOS scientists in both field and laboratory settings. More than 150 students have taken part in this program, including André Raine, 44, who spent the summer of 1993 as a Bermuda Program intern before beginning his senior year at Saltus Grammar School.
The birds' habitat includes remote and steep mountains and valleys, typified by the landscape shown here in the Hono o Na Pali Natural Area Reserve on the island of Kauai. As a result, Raine and his colleagues often rely on helicopters to reach management sites. Here, in the Hono o Na Pali Natural Area Reserve, they conduct investigations into the burrowing behaviors of the Newell's shearwater and Hawaiian petrel using cameras and acoustic monitoring devices. (Photo credit: Tom Fowlks, editorial photographer).
In 1996, Raine graduated from the University of Guelph in Canada with an undergraduate degree in wildlife biology. He then enrolled in the University College of London in England, where he focused his thesis on the Bermuda skink as part of his graduate degree in conservation, which was awarded in 1998. In 2006, Raine obtained his doctoral degree from the University of East Anglia in England where he conducted research on a red-listed, or endangered, species of finch, known as the "twite."
Today, Raine is the project coordinator for the Kauai Endangered Seabird Recovery Project in Kauai, Hawaii. We recently had a chance to catch up and ask about his current job, as well as the path he took to get where he is today.
What sparked your interest in science?
Raine: I spent my summers swimming and snorkeling off St. David's, where I lived at the time. My parents always took us on trips abroad where we got to experience nature and wildlife in different countries. I've never considered working in any other field. It is what I love to do.
How did you hear about the Bermuda Program and what was the experience like for you?
Raine: My parents mentioned the program to me and, because of my life-long interest in nature, it seemed like a perfect opportunity to expand my knowledge of the marine world. I enjoyed working alongside researchers and with my peers. Participating in the Bermuda Program certainly helped further my interest in science and the natural world, all part of the journey to where I am today.
What does your current role at the Kauai Endangered Seabird Recovery Center entail?
Raine: We focus on Kauai's three endangered seabirds: the Newell's shearwater, the Hawaiian petrel, and the Band-rumped storm petrel. We carry out research on these species to understand the threats they face, how to reverse these threats, and then we work with land managers to conserve their remaining populations. As a direct result of human impacts, these populations have all declined dramatically in recent decades, and they are only found in the Hawaiian islands. So if they disappear from here, they are gone for good.
What are the most challenging and rewarding aspects of your job?
Raine: I like knowing that the work I'm doing is making a real difference to these special birds. They are facing a lot of challenges, particularly collisions with power lines and the impact of introduced predators, such as cats, but we are in a position to reverse their decline. They are challenging because they are nocturnal and their habitat is restricted to remote and steep mountains and valleys on the island. The challenge makes the job even more interesting.
Do you have any advice for undergraduate students who might be interested in following a similar career path?
Raine: If you have something you really care about or are passionate about, then go for it. Research your options thoroughly, understand what you need to study in order to become an expert in your chosen career, volunteer with organizations who focus on similar projects, and read about current research so you are always up to date on recent developments. Education is key. I'd recommend going for at least a master's degree and, ideally, onward to a PhD. It all gives you the tools and life experiences you need to get a job in the field that you love.

Report on Popocatepetl (Mexico) — 5 November-11 November 2014
Smithsonian / US Geological Survey Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 5 November-11 November 2014
Managing Editor: Sally Kuhn Sennert
Global Volcanism Program, 2014. Report on Popocatepetl (Mexico). In: Sennert, S K (ed.), Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 5 November-11 November 2014. Smithsonian Institution and US Geological Survey.
Volcano Profile | Weekly Report (5 November-11 November 2014)
Popocatepetl
19.023°N, 98.622°W; summit elev. 5393 m
CENAPRED reported that a small series of explosions at Popocatépetl, starting at 2003 on 4 November and ending at 0130 on 5 November, produced a continuous plume of gas, steam, and small amounts of ash that rose 1 km and drifted N. The seismic network detected 191 explosions during the period. Incandescent material was periodically ejected onto the N and E flanks, as far as 800 m. Ashfall was reported in Paso de Cortes.
On 6 November a small rockslide on the SW flank was recorded by a webcam and the seismic network. Scientists aboard an overflight observed dome 53, emplaced during 4-5 November; it was an estimated 250 m in diameter and 30 m thick. During 7-11 November seismicity indicated continuing emissions of water vapor, gas, and occasional small amounts of ash. Incandescence from the crater was observed most nights. Explosions were detected during 10-11 November. The first explosion ejected incandescent tephra and generated an ash plume that rose 1.2 km and drifted SE. Others generated plumes that rose as high as 1.2 km and drifted SE and E. The Alert Level remained at to Yellow, Phase Two.
Geologic Background. Volcán Popocatépetl, whose name is the Aztec word for smoking mountain, rises 70 km SE of Mexico City to form North America's 2nd-highest volcano. The glacier-clad stratovolcano contains a steep-walled, 400 x 600 m wide crater. The generally symmetrical volcano is modified by the sharp-peaked Ventorrillo on the NW, a remnant of an earlier volcano. At least three previous major cones were destroyed by gravitational failure during the Pleistocene, producing massive debris-avalanche deposits covering broad areas to the south. The modern volcano was constructed south of the late-Pleistocene to Holocene El Fraile cone. Three major Plinian eruptions, the most recent of which took place about 800 CE, have occurred since the mid-Holocene, accompanied by pyroclastic flows and voluminous lahars that swept basins below the volcano. Frequent historical eruptions, first recorded in Aztec codices, have occurred since Pre-Columbian time.

Trump Administration Asks US Top Court to Restore Asylum Order
FILE - The Supreme Court building in Washington, Feb. 13, 2016.
President Donald Trump's administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday to let his order barring asylum for immigrants who enter the United States illegally take effect even as litigation over the matter proceeds.
The U.S. Justice Department asked the court to lift a temporary restraining order against the asylum rules issued by San Francisco-based U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar. Trump has taken a hard line toward legal and illegal immigration since taking office last year.
Citing what he called an overwhelmed immigration system, Trump issued a proclamation on Nov. 9 that authorities process asylum claims only for migrants crossing the southern U.S. border at an official port of entry. Tigar blocked the rules on Nov. 19, drawing Trump's ire.
The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refused on Friday to lift Tigar's injunction pending an appeal by the administration, saying the government "has not established that it is likely to prevail."
The Justice Department said in its request to the Supreme Court that the injunction frustrated the government's effort to re-establish control over the southern border and reduce illegal crossings.
Trump issued his proclamation alongside a new administration rule that effectively prohibited asylum for migrants crossing from Mexico outside a port of entry. The policy came as the government sought ways to block thousands of Central Americans traveling in caravans to escape violence and poverty at home from entering the United States.
Immigrant rights groups immediately sued, arguing the policy violated federal immigration and administrative law.
In his ruling, Tigar said Congress clearly mandated that immigrants were eligible for asylum regardless of where they enter the country.
The ruling prompted Trump to blast the 9th Circuit as a "disgrace" and dismiss Tigar as an "Obama judge." Tigar was appointed to the bench by former President Barack Obama, a Democrat.
That criticism led to an extraordinary rebuke by U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts, who issued a public response to Trump.
"We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges," said Roberts, a conservative who was appointed by Republican former President George W. Bush.
US Appeals Court Won't Allow Trump Asylum Ban
A divided U.S. appeals court late Friday refused to immediately allow the Trump administration to enforce a ban on asylum for any immigrants who illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border. The ban is inconsistent with an existing U.S. law and an attempted end-run around Congress, a panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in a 2-1 decision. "Just as we may not, as we are often reminded, 'legislate from the bench,' neither may the…
Agency: Fear of Returning Home Spikes at US-Mexico Border
The number of people expressing fear of returning to their home countries when stopped at the U.S. border with Mexico has spiked, according to figures released Monday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. U.S. border authorities fielded 92,959 "credible fear'' claims - the initial step toward asylum - in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, up 67 percent from 55,584 the previous year. The "credible fear'' claims accounted for 18 percent of all…
Many US-Bound Caravan Migrants Disperse as Asylum Process Stalls
Thousands of Central American migrants spent weeks traveling north through Mexico in caravans, walking and hitching rides when possible, only for many to give up hope and turn back when they met resistance at the U.S. border.Others hopped the border fence, often directly into the hands of immigration authorities on the U.S. side, while still others dug in at temporary lodgings in Tijuana for the long process of seeking asylum from a reluctant U.S. government.

This digital process diary chronicles our time and experience throughout the JA.CA International Residency Program in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, July 15-September 15, 2014 .
Inside-Out is a collaborative artistic/research project that sets out to explore the intuitive relationship between humans and their surroundings, integrating theories of the body and embodiment to the lived experience of public spaces in Belo Horizonte. These exchanges will lead us to the production of audiovisual work and an illustrated book, materializing our interactions with the physical, social, and symbolic space of the Belo Horizonte, as well as our discussions-exchanges based on shared experiences navigating the city, an unknown place for both of us.
Following the work of artist collectives such as Dada, the Situationists, as well as many theorists of the body and space, this research seeks to observe the way bodies and the environment constitute each other, by generating new situations and exchanges. How does the theory make more sense while observing and feeling the spaces around us? How does the theory allow us to better understand the spaces and social processes we experience in an unknown context?
Movement is an essential part of life. To dance, to stretch, to move, are actions that unite the body, mind and life force in a way like no other. In the Kowalski Workshop [attended by Tamara in Warsaw, 2013] each day began with a rigorous schedule of kungfu, tai-chi and improvisation exercises in pairs and groups, which developed close bonds among the participants and set the tone for an aware and productive day. Many of the principles developed in the morning movement sessions can be applied in the wider public sphere with an increased sensitivity of self and awareness to surroundings. Part of our time in Belo Horizonte is dedicated to the task of absorbing, feeling, and documenting the environment, as well as provoking encounters with it. This can be produced by diverse bodily actions such as staring, touching, jumping, scratching, crawling, kicking, sitting on, examining or laying down on different kinds of surfaces and spaces.
We are conducting intuitive explorations of the surrounding landscape, focused on the interaction and relationship of ourselves as individuals with the built environment of the city. By going out in the world, on journeys throughout the landscape of Belo Horizonte we will experience various parts of the city, interact with people, engage in direct contact with a specific location, and document the process as we are compelled to. We are constantly seeking for everyday actions and exchanges with the people who give life to public spaces. During our travels, we photograph, videotape, and take notes to register these explorations and their effects on our body and consciousness. Through this particular methodology involving movement, exploration, research and creation we set out to explore the relationship of the body and the environment culminating in a unique set of findings in the form of a distinct artwork.


St. Vincent de Paul's "Works of Mercy"
True love for our neighbor cannot be separated from our love for God as it is only from God that all love and virtue flow from and to God that every act of kindness should lead our hearts to.
This is why it is important to offer both Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy as part of the Confirmation Service hours.
15 Hours of Works of Mercy are required each year.
10th Grade Hours - Due by first week in April.
Suggestions: Bridges Run, Family Faith Sessions, Breakfast with Santa, Vacation Bible Camp. Opportunities at St. Vincent's will be posted on line as they become available. You may also volunteer outside of St. Vincent's.1.
Charity begins in the home. It is sometimes easy to take for granted our siblings and overlook the many self-sacrifices our parents make for us on a daily basis. Being of kind service to our family members can help to foster a deeper sense of charity toward those whom we are first called to love.
1. Cleaning/Cooking/Grocery Shopping for Mom or Dad.
2. Helping broth or sister with their homework or other.
3. Doing something special for a grandparent or relative.
We all need to be encouraged to pray more, not only for ourselves, but for others. Prayer brings God's helping hand through grace to even the most difficult situations in life.
(available 24 hours after 8:30 am Mass).
Works of Mercy: Feed the Hungry, Give Drink to the Thirsty, Shelter the Homeless, Clothe the Naked, Visit the Sick, Visit the Imprisoned, Bury the Dead.

The mountain shaped like a rice ball rising up from behind the signboard is Mt. Yaguradake (elevation 870 m).
From its characteristic shape, Mt. Yaguradake has a history of serving as a landmark for the Ashigara-kodo (Ashigara Old Road).
Mt. Yaguradake has been affectionately called "Takenokoshi" from long ago by the people living in the local area.
The area around Minamiashigara City, where Mt. Yaguradake is a rare place, even in the world, where 3 plates are crowded together.
If you gaze down with your eyes, the rise continuing from the Ashigara Plains to Oisokyuryo (Oiso Hills) spreads out and the boundary forms a beautiful straight line.
That area just happens to be called the Kozu-Matsuda Fault and is located on the boundary of the Philippine Sea Plate and the North American plate.
What kind of mountain is Mt. Yaguradake?
The area near the summit of Mt. Yaguradake is made of rock called "Plutonic Rock" that formed by magma deep underground slowly, cooling and hardening.
At one time, Minamiashigara was once at the bottom of the ocean sandwiched between Honshu and the Izu Block. About 1.15 million years ago, magma penetrated the stratum of the ocean floor. The magma did not erupt but instead solidified and by each of the ocean floor strata, rode on the Philippine Sea Plate and was pushed by the Izu Block coming from the south and rose up. Afterwards, the surrounding stratum of the ocean was weathered exposing the hard Plutonic Rock and became the current form.
What kind of place is Mt. Yaguradake?
What is so precious worldwide?
Plutonic Rock solidifies slowly, deep underground and it takes many years before it came up to the surface.
It took approximately 1.15 million years to come up to the surface and it is extremely new worldwide and there are no other examples of being pushed up to 870m.
Mt. Yaguradake is a Geosite that tells us how dynamically this region has changed.
When studied in detail, it is classified as quartz diorite even within Plutonic Rock.
Quartz diorite is solid and is used for stone walls.

It's not easy to ignore the news. It's in every newspaper. Even if you don't buy a newspaper, you get a glimpse of the headlines on newsstands and in shops. Every time you switch on the television – it's there. Overheard conversations amongst family, friends and strangers – opinions are shared about what's happening in the news. In Heather's blog she mentions how the UK is going through a difficult time at the moment. It's not even been for a short while. It's been building gradually to a crescendo over many months. The crux of the matter is, in this country, we, all of us, are afraid of what is going to happen to us, and how decisions made are going to affect our lives. You can feel it like a cloud hanging in the air. An unseen but felt mood. Increasingly, I have become very mindful of stories in the news.
Being mindful of the news is more about being mindful of my reaction to the news and how it is making me feel. Equally, I have observed how it has made others feel and react. I have to admit, I am not someone who follows the news. I don't have to. One way or another the key points of the news find their way to me. Whether I like it or not, opinions about the news are shared with me. How others have been reacting have had an impact on me. Underneath it all, there is fear. There is fear of the unknown and we all have different opinions and feelings. We are telling ourselves our own unique stories without the real facts.
In my daily mindfulness practice, I check in with how I am feeling. This includes body, emotions, thoughts popping up in my undercurrent, sensations, processes running and my overall mood. It's a bit like checking in with my internal weather system. Recently, my own personal weather has been mixed. Sunshine with some dark clouds, some showers, fluctuations in temperature. On a scale, warmth and sunshine are associated with the positive end of the wellbeing scale. Clouds, cold and rain represent negative feelings. I have been getting a sense of the weather surrounding others too. When there are major events in the news you can feel it in the air. I observe mass emotion. A prevailing mood which presides over us all, like a cloud.
On a daily basis I am reminded how important my practice is. It prepares me for the daily bombardment of external influences. My Mindfulness practice enables me to check in how I am feeling and reacting at any given moment.
I can't be certain whether what I read or hear is true. However, what I am certain of is how I feel, and the stories I have created which invoke these feelings. Early on in the Mindfulness Association's Level 1 training – Being Present, we learn how we have a tendency to make up stories. In turn we react to these stories with thoughts, emotions and body sensations. We don't even know whether these stories are true. In our training we learn the definition of mindfulness – how to notice what is happening while it is happening so that we can choose how to respond.
A good example of this is where we are expecting someone to arrive at a certain time. When they do not arrive at that time and we haven't heard why, we may start making up stories. Often the stories are fear based with the worst-case scenario playing full blast on our silver movie screen of life. Personally, in these circumstances I immediately imagine the worst, that something has gone terribly wrong. Feelings of anxiety and fear of the unknown manifest and begin to take root in my being. Rick Hanson (2009) informs us of the predisposition of the brain to have a negativity bias which causes us to naturally focus on negative experiences which causes undue stress, anxiety, and fear.
Byron Katie (2008) uses a self-help method to help with suffering which invites us to question whether what we are thinking, and feeling is true. I use this in my mindfulness practice to challenge whether the story I am telling myself is true. Also, to notice how negative thinking is having a detrimental impact on my mood, emotions and body. By bringing myself back to the present moment and noticing what is going on I am able to go through the process of allowing and accepting. From this point I can choose how I respond. And then I have compassion for myself for being so human and subject to my brain's hardwiring.
Whatever happens in our external environment, we can choose to allow and accept without judgment and be where we are, in the moment. Not allowing stories in the news or moods of others to impact us negatively and to shadow the good things in life. Not making up our own stories. Making sure we keep a balance. For every story, internal and external, has an impact on how we are feeling and responding.
To stay present and not be influenced I am saying yes to everything. Allowing it all in, without preference or judgement. Just noticing what is happening while it is happening.
This week's challenge is to notice how external influences impact on you. How the news and how the moods of others make you feel. Which mindfulness practice helps you to remain in the moment and notice any stories you are creating? How can we ensure that we are living mindfully?
I'd be delighted to hear your insights. Please leave a comment after this post or email me at membership@mindfulnessassociation.net.
I wish you well this coming week.

I also have started to write down things which seem to get knotted up inside, putting them into a kind of journal, and this sometimes helps bring clarity, and also can alert me to moods, patterns of behaviour, areas which may need attention when I can devote a more formal kind of meditation to them.

I read a lot of stuff on the Internet. Blogs may be going out of style–so I have been told for the last 3 or 4 years, but I read a lot of them. Some of my most pleasant reading comes from blogs. I enjoy pop-culture technology pieces done by places like The Atlantic or WIRED.
But the best thing I read all year was Paul Ford's What Is Code, which took up an entire issue of Bloomberg Business in June. At something over 30,000 words, it is long. But the writing is wonderful, the multimedia experience enhances the message, and the subject is near and dear to my heart as an accidental coder.
If you haven't read it yet, I urge you to set aside a few hours this week and go through it. Ford impressed me, and I really think it was the best thing I read on the Internet in 2015.


This is an updated version of my previous upload. Thomas Pearce asked me to change a couple of elements.
You may have trouble downloading the file with Firefox, it downloads well with IE.
This model is a Conrail patched ex-Thomasville Railroad reskin of Michael Stephan's freeware 50ft PS1 Boxcar. I created this model as a Christmas present for my good friend, Thomas Pearce. Thomas has not only been a friend, he has patiently mentored me in the finer art of reskinning. The 40ft-PS1 base model can be downloaded at http://www.stephan-michael.de/railsim/packsrw/boxps150.html.
These ex-Thomasville RR X50c Boxcars were received by Conrail in the post-1985 bankruptcy. The Conrail shop forces spared no expense to throw black patches over the heralds and reporting marks in their haste to get these cars into revenue service. At least eight of these cars were rumored to still be running patched as late as 1990.

MAXXAM Inc. History
5847 San Felipe
Incorporated: 1955 as Cuban American Oil Company
Sales: $2.2 billion
Stock Exchanges: American Pacific Philadelphia
SICs: 3354 Aluminum Extruded Products; 3355 Aluminum Rolling and Drawing, Nec
MAXXAM Inc. is a multi-faceted corporation that operates in three separate industries: aluminum, forest products, and real estate. Aluminum accounts for about 86 percent of MAXXAM's sales. The company's aluminum business is conducted through its 68 percent-owned subsidiary Kaiser Aluminum Corporation. Kaiser is a fully integrated producer of alumina, primary aluminum, and fabricated aluminum, with facilities in nine states and five foreign countries. The next largest share of MAXXAM's revenue is generated by its forest products operations. These operations are conducted through two wholly owned subsidiaries: Pacific Lumber Company and Britt Lumber Co., Inc. MAXXAM sold about $223 million in forest products in 1992. Through the 123-year-old Pacific Lumber Company, MAXXAM owns about 196,000 acres of timberland in Humboldt County, California, where over 300 million board feet of redwood and Douglas fir lumber are produced yearly at the company's five saw mills and other related facilities. MAXXAM's real estate business is conducted through MAXXAM Property Company, MCO Properties Inc., and Horizon Corporation. The company's real estate holdings, concentrated mainly in the Southwest, include large land holdings, residential communities, and commercial rental operations. Real estate generated about $70 million in revenue in 1992.
The company that would eventually evolve into MAXXAM was formed in 1955 as Cuban American Oil Company. In 1960 the company's name was changed to McCulloch Oil Corporation of California. The company was founded and guided through its early years by Robert McCulloch, an independent oil explorer. The method by which McCulloch built his company was to organize syndicates of investors annually to cover the costs of oil exploration. For a minimum investment of $10,000, participants in the program would receive all of the benefits from a productive exploratory well until their investments were repaid, and two-thirds interest in any further oil field development that took place as a result of the exploration. For organizing the syndicate and operating the program, McCulloch would retain the remaining one-third share. From 1956 to 1965, the company drilled 167 exploratory wells. 39 of these wells actually produced oil. 179 of the 247 development wells drilled during this period were producers, although none of these finds represented what could be called a major oil strike. In 1966, McCulloch Oil had gross revenues from oil and gas sales of approximately $2.7 million. About $24 million was raised that year through the outside investor program.
In 1965 McCulloch-Hancock Oil & Gas Properties, Inc., was merged into McCulloch Oil Corp. of California. McCulloch-Hancock was created by members of a McCulloch exploration syndicate to operate oil and gas properties that had been completed. According to the terms of the deal McCulloch-Hancock shareholders received two-thirds of a share of McCulloch Oil common stock for each share of McCulloch-Hancock. The merger gave McCulloch Oil total possession of McCulloch Gas Transmission Co., the firm that operated a 100-mile natural gas pipeline system located in northeastern Wyoming.
In the second half of the 1960s, under president C. V. Wood, Jr. McCulloch Oil's biggest gains came in real estate rather than oil, where a major strike continued to elude the company. In 1965 the company unveiled Lake Havasu City, a planned community in Arizona. By the end of 1968, Lake Havasu had about 4,000 permanent residents, 140 businesses, a handful of industrial facilities, and a full range of public services. The city was also fully outfitted for major tourism, including hotels, golf courses, camp grounds, trailer parks, and a marina. During this period of rapid development, 50 salesmen were stationed at Lake Havasu City, and prospective buyers were flown in at no cost on the company's six airplanes to see the property. Lake Havasu received global attention in 1968 when McCulloch Oil purchased the London Bridge for $2.4 million and had it shipped in pieces to the development, where it was reassembled as a tourist attraction. By the end of 1968, McCulloch Oil's sales had grown to $39 million, largely thanks to the expansion of its real estate endeavors. In fact, land sales accounted for around three-fourths of that year's net income. The company was not idle in its other areas, however. In 1969 McCulloch Oil drilled its first test well on the North Slope of Alaska, not far from Prudhoe Bay, where other companies had found gigantic oil reserves. The company also acquired several thousand acres of potential silver mining property in Colorado. In addition, operations at the Wyoming gas pipeline were expanded. Output from the pipeline in 1969 was about five times what it had been only three years earlier.
In 1969 the company's name was shortened to McCulloch Oil Corporation. That year, a partnership was developed with Investors Diversified Services, Inc. (IDS) of Minneapolis, in which IDS would take responsibility for the efforts to coordinate the sale of units in the participant investor programs, while McCulloch Oil would focus on the actual field operation of the programs. Numerous acquisitions, including coal, gas, oil, and real estate operations, aided the company's expansion in the early 1970s. Among these were the 1970 purchases of Omega Gas Company and Richland Gas Company. Two small airlines, Vance International Airways, based in Seattle, and Oklahoma Airmotive, were also acquired that year, as were four Kentucky coal companies, each located in Letcher County. The success of Lake Havasu led Wood to launch further "new cities" around this time. Towns were developed at Fountain Hills, Arizona, and Pueblo West, Colorado. In 1971 McCulloch Oil bought 22,500 acres of property near Elko, Nevada, for the development of Spring Creek, a new city designed to contain 5,500 home sites, as well as an array of recreational facilities, including a golf course, an equestrian center, a shooting range, trout ponds, and an Old West town center.
The following year, however, a change in accounting rules dampened McCulloch Oil's real estate gains. Beginning in 1972, the company could record as revenue only payments actually received on land purchased, rather than count the entire sale price upon completion of the deal. The company reported a net loss of $731,000 in 1972, largely due to this accounting change. Two profitable years followed, but in 1975, the land division lost over $5 million. Plagued by defaults resulting from that year's recession, as well as inflation and increased government regulation, the expenses of developing and maintaining the new cities became overwhelming. By late 1976, Wood announced that the company would take a $60 million write-off to exit the land development business entirely. During that year, the price of McCulloch Oil stock sank to $3 a share, after peaking at $36 back in 1972. Nevertheless, the company managed to earn over $7 million in profit in 1975 on sales of $124 million, thanks mostly to solid years in its oil, gas, and coal mining operations.
IDS, McCulloch's partner in oil and gas exploration programs, was bought out in 1976 for a little over $8 million. In 1977 McCulloch Properties Inc., the land-development subsidiary run by Robert McCulloch, Jr., son of the company's founder, pleaded guilty to 19 counts of fraud concerning sales at the Pueblo West development. The charges involved promises of improvements on the property made by salesmen to prospective buyers that could not be kept. Similar accusations in connection with other properties followed. To facilitate the company's retreat from the land development business in the wake of these legal and financial setbacks, a new company was formed with a former company executive. All of McCulloch Properties' assets were sold to the newly created Pratt Properties Inc., 49 percent of which was to be owned by Lorne Pratt, a former executive vice-president of McCulloch Properties. Two years later, however, Pratt sold all of his shares back to McCulloch Oil so that he could pursue his own personal real estate ventures.
Merlin Witte became company president in 1977, and Wood stayed on as chairman of the board. That year, Robert McCulloch, the company's founder, died from a combination of drugs and alcohol. In 1978 Charles Hurwitz, a Houston entrepreneur, began to take an interest in McCulloch Oil, and his involvement would have a dramatic influence on the company's future. Hurwitz had begun his career as a stockbroker with Bache & Company. He was running his own investment firm by the time he was 24 years-old. After a couple of failed insurance and investment ventures, not to mention brushes with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Hurwitz purchased a New York real estate company called Federated Development Company in 1973. He began to acquire stock through Federated Development and its wholly owned subsidiary Federated Reinsurance Company. In 1978, Hurwitz acquired 13 percent of McCulloch Oil stock from Black & Decker Manufacturing Company, which had inherited that share by virtue of its 1973 purchase of McCulloch Corporation, a manufacturer of chain saws. Although he was initially opposed by most of the company's management, Hurwitz managed to get two representatives elected to the McCulloch Oil board at the 1978 annual meeting, and he himself became a director shortly after that. Wood resigned his chairmanship in July 1979. McCulloch, Jr. resigned from the board as well. The leadership vacuum was eventually filled in March 1980, when Hurwitz became both chairman and chief executive. Hurwitz then named William Leone to replace Witte as president. When this change in the company's power structure was completed, with Hurwitz and his associates firmly in charge, the company's name was changed to MCO Holdings Inc. Witte emerged from the scrap as a Hurwitz ally, and became president of MCO Resources Inc., one of the company's principal subsidiaries.
By 1981 MCO's sales had grown to $173 million. Hurwitz led MCO through a period of diversification through acquisitions over the next few years. At the same time, the company shed many of its energy holdings. In 1982 MCO gained controlling interest in Simplicity Pattern Company, the well-known maker of sewing patterns, with annual sales of about $82 million. Hurwitz also became chairman and chief executive of Simplicity. The same year, MCO sold its interests in the Midway Sunset oil field in California for about $155 million. The company's Manley-McGinn oil properties were also disposed of for another $115 million. Another move made in 1982 was the purchase of about 37 percent interest in Maxxam Group Inc., an investment partnership also controlled by Hurwitz. Maxxam essentially consisted of the remnants of Simplicity, retained for use as an instrument for real estate purchases, after that company's core pattern business had been sold off. In 1982 and 1983 MCO purchased shares that eventually amounted to a 23 percent holding in United Financial Group, Inc., the parent company to United Savings of Texas.
In 1986 MCO, through the Maxxam Group, completed a takeover attempt launched the previous year on Pacific Lumber Company. The $863 million purchase of Pacific Lumber was made through junk bond king Michael Milken of Drexel Burnham Lambert, and was one of the earliest instances of a hostile takeover financed by the sale of junk bonds. The takeover was spurred in part by Hurwitz's discovery during an aerial survey that Pacific actually owned about 30 percent more standing timber than was believed, a fact that kept the company's stock price artificially low. Shortly after the buyout, the cutting rate on Pacific Lumber properties was doubled. This infuriated environmentalists, many of whom have continued to hold a grudge against Hurwitz because of this practice.
MCO purchased the remaining portion of the Maxxam Group it did not already own and merged it into the company as a wholly owned subsidiary in May 1988. Two months later, MCO Resources, Inc., the company's energy subsidiary, was sold to United Meridian Corporation. In October of that year, the company's name was changed to MAXXAM Inc. Before that month was over, MAXXAM had made its most important acquisition yet, the $930 million purchase of Kaiser Aluminum Corporation. Once again, Drexel Burnham Lambert junk bonds covered a sizeable portion of Kaiser's purchase price.
With Kaiser Aluminum in the fold, MAXXAM's sales reached $2.4 billion in 1989, with net income of $117 million. In 1990 Kaiser's chairman and chief executive John Seidl replaced the retiring William Leone as president of MAXXAM. The following year, 13 percent of Kaiser was sold to the public, with MAXXAM retaining control of the rest. The company's sales began to shrink gradually as the 1990s began. MAXXAM'S 1990 figures were net income of $162 million on sales of $2.36 billion. The following year, the company reported net income of $57 million on sales of $2.25 billion. 1992 was a particularly bleak year for MAXXAM, due primarily to a deeply depressed global aluminum market. As sales dipped to $2.2 billion, the company posted a $7.3 million net loss for the year. Contributing to MAXXAM'S difficulties were increased aluminum production capacities among countries in the Western world, combined with much higher levels of aluminum exports from the former Soviet Union. In spite of these problems, several of the company's facilities set production records in 1992. In addition, a major expansion project at the company's Jamaican alumina operation was completed, and a new extrusions facility was launched in London, Ontario.
In contrast to the aluminum operations, MAXXAM's forest products operations made gains in 1992. Operating income from this industry reached $65 million, an increase of nearly 16 percent from the previous year. Late in 1992 and into 1993, MAXXAM began an effort to refinance the bulging debt it had built up in acquiring Pacific Lumber and Kaiser Aluminum. $400 million in new 10-year bonds was issued to replace existing debt that was due in 1995. Though this move increased the actual size of the debt, it took advantage of favorable interest rates at the same time. In June 1993, MAXXAM raised $120 million through a public offering of several million depositary shares of Kaiser aluminum stock. This sale reduced MAXXAM's holding in Kaiser to about 68 percent of the common stock.
Because of the cyclical nature of the aluminum industry, combined with the lingering sluggishness of the global economy in the early 1990s, MAXXAM's unimpressive performance during this period was not unexpected by company management. Like many industrial corporations, MAXXAM has concentrated on reducing costs and increasing efficiency during this downturn.

I usually keep up-to-date with all the horror news, and make sure Heaven of Horror share the best and latest trailers for upcoming horror movies. I love all kinds of horror. My love affair started when I watched 'Poltergeist' alone around the age of 10. I slept like a baby that night and I haven't stopped watching horror movies since. The crazy slasher stuff isn't really for me, but hey, to each their own. I guess I just like to be scared and get jump scares, more than being disgusted and laughing at the grotesque. Also, Korean and Spanish horror movies made within the past 10-15 years are among my absolute favorites.
