My December favorite from Moorea Seal is here!
Ahhh, again I think this month is actually my favorite item of all time from Moorea Seal and I'm not sure if anything will be able to beat it. A neon light, a neon freaking light in a shape of an eye…..like what in the! I have a weird love for anything with eyes on it, so you know this babe was calling my name.
The perfect edition to any shelf. It brings that pop and quirk I love to add while styling my room. Added bonus, it provides some crazy light, like almost blinding.
Sold out at mooreaseal.com but crossing my fingers the awesome piece comes back in stock. In the mean time check it out over at the creators website, Amped & Co.


Living with Wolves' Jim and Jamie Dutcher have written and published seven stories about the Sawtooth Pack of central Idaho. A great read !
These stories are about the years we spent filming, observing and living with wolves. They are not part of a scientific treatise, but rather an account of what we experienced, learned and felt as filmmakers and as human beings. This at times allows us a freedom of speculation that no scientist could afford. Conversely, we were very careful not to let ourselves be blinded by fantasy, making these animals out to be more than what they are: neither demon nor deity, but simply wolves, incredible and inspiring in their own right. These stories are adapted from our book Wolves at Our Door.
Thank you,Brian. It was a pleasant read.
Thanks Brian, and thanks to Jim and Jamie for sharing their insights.


Winners for Milestone Arts Review Announced! Read the Best Reviews!
The Milestone Arts Society hosted their first ever Arts Review Competition. After careful consideration three reviews were chosen by the Division Head of Arts, Literature and Humanities. Congratulations to the winners and to all writers! Stay tuned for a report on their trip to the Berlinálé Film Festival for which each winner was awarded a flight ticket.
When Frida Kahlo was travelling on a bus the driver pulled in front of a tram and vehicle got crushed against a wall. Frida, who was already disabled due to a childhood virus infection affecting her leg, got seriously injured – her spine and pelvic was damaged which led her to endless pain and three miscarriages during her life. She was in life danger for several days and could never recover completely. Her second "accident" was an even bigger one: she fell in love with Diego Rivera, the most famous artist in Mexico at the time. She fell for him even though he was always cheating on her. Her art is a testimony to her physical and emotional pain, her never-ending misery.
André Breton, a surrealist poet said Frida was also a surrealist artist – as might be drawn from a picture like "Henry Ford Hospital", but she refused. She said: "I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality." She was also considered a feminist, but actually she was not one – Frida never wanted to be equal to Diego or any man, she only wanted to be loved. Misery and passion was her life and reality. Kahlo had always been completely honest and open, not being ashamed of her looks, never afraid to paint her private life and feelings.
Due to her last will and testament that her works cannot be taken from her workshop, only 35 paintings are presented in the Hungarian National Gallery. It must have been difficult to make a complete exhibition with so few images, but Adriána Lantos, the curator of the exhibit managed to present every important part of her life and art. The exhibition screams Frida Kahlo. The walls are painted with strong colours: bold red, green, yellow, blue and pink, which can all be found in the art of Frida. At the end of the exhibition, there is a whole room only for Kahlo references in pop- and contemporary art as well, which shows that she has always been a popular inspiration due to her articulate, yet extraordinary and decorative art.
The big gaps between the pictures are not disturbing as because of the useful texts and the timeline on the walls. "The Broken Column", one of Frida's most famous pieces is put in the first room, immediately taking the visitors to the essence of Kahlo as it is the best picture to represent her art, springing from her endless pain. It is a self-portrait picturing Frida with her bad spine as an ionic column, tears dripping down from her eyes, nails all over her body, desert behind her (referring to her body being unable to give birth), open chest and her face looking like a medieval portrayal of a lady – staring still, bearing her misery. She always had a moustache and "ugly" eyebrows, because of which we might consider her unique and different, but it was actually common in Mexico for women to have such things.
Watching the film "Frida" by Salma Hayek before visiting the exhibition is recommended, as it gives a deeper understanding of the artist, her life and the exhibit as well. Creating an incredible exhibition like this was more than being worth it despite the challenges the curator faced and even without many famous pieces, like "Viva la Vida". Frida Kahlo is clearly an artist who deserves to be remembered and appreciated, not for her suffering but for her unique love of life.

Many sites these days use WordPress, Joomla or Drupal. In fact this very site uses WordPress. They are what's called in the biz a Content Management System or CMS. They are beneficial for many websites and very popular to use. Each CMS has it's pros & cons. WordPress will work for many sites, including possibly yours, but Joomla or Drupal might be more appropriate. It all depends on what your website needs to be able to do. I'm not going to go into that as it can get rather complicated.
Frequently we compare CMS websites to smartphones & tablets when we're trying to figure out what is best for a client. Why? Well the CMS is like the operating system (OS) on a phone. Most smartphones are either iOS (Apple) or Android. Same goes with websites. Similar to smartphones & tablets they also have what you could consider an OS. In this example the OS would be what was mentioned before: Wordpress, Joomla or Drupal.
Something else that CMS websites have are also similar to smartphones & tablets. That is apps. On a smartphone or tablet it can be anything from Facebook, Waze, solitaire or what have you. Websites using a CMS as mentioned above also have something similar to smartphone & tablet apps. They are called something different for each CMS, but they could be considered similar to an app. They can also be all kinds of things. Some examples could be a calendar of events, Facebook feed, weather, etc. There are a TON of them, again, depending on which CMS your site is built on.
When there are "OS" or "app" updates, should you update them? Both the website CMS OS & the "apps" have updates from time to time available. The "apps" are updated more frequently than the CMS itself. When you know an update is available you or the company that takes care of your site MUST know if they should update it or not. Some are safety/security updates to keep your website secure. Others make the CMS or "app" run better or have more features.
Why is it important to know if you should update the CMS OS or "apps?" I'm glad you asked. If you have custom code, interactions between "apps," or a connection to a third party solution for something like the ability to purchase online, updating could create problems; BIG problems. It could even take your site down, make your website unable to process payments or a myriad of other things. All that to write, if you're tempted to simply update everything you should use caution and make sure the update(s) isn't going to break anything. Which leads us to the next point.
ALWAYS do a backup before you proceed! Through the years we've had a few CMS OS or "apps" updates that we thought were innocuous take down an entire site. Here's the kicker. One of those innocuous updates to be totally honest took down our own site. Yulp Bull & Company was down. Thankfully we had a backup and had the site backup before anyone noticed.
So should you update? As mentioned earlier, possibly, maybe, it all depends. Be safe by creating a backup or your site, do some research to make sure the update isn't going to break anything and proceed with caution. OR as almost all of our clients do, leave it to the professionals, us, and you keep doing what you do best in whatever industry you're in.

Montana Highway 3 (MT 3) is a highway in central Montana extending north from Billings to Great Falls.

Route description
At its southern end, MT 3 begins at I-90 in Billings and travels northwest  to US 12 near Lavina – this is the only section of MT 3 that is not concurrent with a US highway. MT 3 joins US 12 and travels  west to Harlowton, where it leaves US 12 and joins US 191, and travels north for  to Eddie's Corner (near Moore). At Eddie's Corner, MT 3 turns west, leaving US 191 and joining the US 87 / MT 200 concurrency, and travels west  to Armington where US 89 joins the highway. The four highways continue  to Great Falls, where it follows a  concurrency with I-315 and ends at I-15.

MT 3 is part of the Camino Real Corridor (Corridor 27), a High Priority Corridor that connects El Paso, Texas to the Canada–US border at Sweet Grass, Montana. The corridor is anchored by Interstate 25 and is part of the larger Ports-to-Plains Alliance. MT 3 is connected to the Canadian border via I-15, and is connected to I-25 in Buffalo, Wyoming via I-90.

Sub. S.B. 165 of the 128th G.A.
Note: The state fiscal year is July 1 through June 30. For example, FY 2010 is July 1, 2009 – June 30, 2010.
· The bill creates or modifies several oil and gas fees, the proceeds from which would be deposited into the Oil and Gas Well Fund (Fund 5180) used by the Division of Mineral Resources Management within the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to operate the oil and gas program. These fees could generate revenue of approximately $2.9 million over current levels in their first year of collection, with possible further gains in future years.
· The bill increases the Division of Mineral Resources Management's regulatory responsibilities. As a result, the Division will need to hire additional staff. These added payroll costs are estimated to be $1.9 million annually and would be paid from Fund 5180.
· The added revenue deposited into Fund 5180 will reduce the Division of Mineral Resource Management's reliance on the GRF to fund various administrative costs for the oil and gas program.
· The Division would incur a significant increase in administrative expenses in the first year of the bill's enactment for start-up costs and other necessary implementation actions, with ongoing costs thereafter.
· DNR anticipates hiring 33 new staff members in the Division of Mineral Resources Management, resulting in approximately $1.9 million in additional annual payroll costs.
· The Tax Refund Fund (Fund 4250) in the Department of Taxation could incur additional expenditures to refund illegally or erroneously collected regulatory cost recovery assessments.
· The bill requires that liens, and the cancellation of liens, imposed on oil and gas properties by the Division of Mineral Resources Management be filed with the applicable county recorder, which may result in a minimal gain in recordation fees.
· The bill requires penalties paid for violations of Oil and Gas Law compliance agreements to be deposited into the treasury of the county in which the violation took place.
· County courts of common pleas could incur minimal additional costs to handle appeals of enforcement actions taken by the Division of Mineral Resources Management under the bill.
· Local political subdivisions could incur some additional minimal costs to hold public meetings regarding proposed oil and gas development in urbanized areas as required by the bill.
The bill makes a variety of changes to the Oil and Gas Law that affect the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Division of Mineral Resources Management (DMRM) in particular. The most significant provisions of the bill relate to new fees and changes to existing fees established in statute. The bill also contains many provisions altering administrative procedures dealing with regulatory oversight of the oil and gas industry. The provisions of the bill with fiscal effect are described below.
DMRM currently collects most of its revenue from a combination of regulatory and administrative fees and severance taxes on the extraction of mineral resources, with a portion of the Division's budget consisting of GRF funds. Severance taxes are levied on oil and natural gas, as well as coal and other mineral deposits. DMRM's oil and gas programs are funded by oil and gas severance taxes and fees charged for drilling permits and plugging abandoned wells, which are deposited into the Oil and Gas Well Fund (Fund 5180), as well as an allocation from the Division's GRF line item. The new fees and changes to existing fees proposed in the bill are intended to reduce the Division's reliance on the GRF and provide a dedicated source of funding for oil and gas regulatory and administrative activities. Table 1 below shows a list of all proposed new fees or fee modifications in the bill, as well as DNR's estimates of the revenue expected to be generated by each, if known.
Based on the revenue estimates in the table below, the new fees and adjusted rates would yield $2.9 million in additional revenue during the first full year of implementation, and possibly more, depending on the revenue received from the three fees for which revenue estimates are currently unavailable. To provide a comparison, total receipts from the existing fees in FY 2009 were just under $3.0 million. Ultimately, however, the revenue gained from these new and adjusted fees depends on the level of oil and gas industry activity in Ohio.
The bill creates several new fees that must be paid by well owners or operators in order to carry out certain activities or obtain certain services. These new fees, like current oil and gas severance taxes and existing oil and gas fees, would be credited to Fund 5180, which supports DMRM's oil and gas operations. These new fees and their purposes are summarized below.
Regulatory cost recovery assessment. Currently, well operators pay a severance tax of 10 cents per barrel of oil or 2.5 cents per thousand cubic feet of natural gas produced by a well. Under the bill, DMRM would charge an additional 10 cents per barrel of oil and one-half cent per thousand cubic feet of natural gas as a regulatory cost recovery assessment to be collected quarterly, alongside and generally in the same manner as the severance tax. The minimum amount of a quarterly assessment must be the greater of either (1) $15 times the number of an owner's wells, or (2) the amount of an owner's severance taxes plus the regulatory cost recovery assessment imposed by the bill.
The bill creates an exception to the above assessments for an exempt domestic well, which is a well that is primarily used for domestic purposes by the well's owner. The bill creates a new assessment of $60 for each well that becomes an exempt domestic well on and after the effective date of the bill. Exempt domestic wells in existence prior to the bill's enactment would not be subject to this assessment. For all other exempt wells, the bill requires owners to pay this assessment to DMRM annually rather than quarterly, on July 1 of each year.
In general, the bill applies these new assessments to the same statutory requirements that currently exist for the oil and gas severance taxes. In particular, the bill requires the Tax Commissioner to refund assessments illegally or erroneously collected from the Tax Refund Fund (Fund 4250), which is also used to pay refunds for other taxes, including the severance tax. The bill also authorizes the Tax Commissioner to enforce collection of the regulatory cost recovery assessment and to impose assessments against persons who fail to pay them. The punitive assessments would be deposited into the Oil and Gas Well Fund (Fund 5180).
Injection well disposal fee. The bill creates a per-barrel fee on substances that are delivered for the purpose of being injected into a well. The fee is 5 cents per barrel when the substance is produced within the same DMRM regulatory district as the well or in an adjoining district, and 20 cents per barrel when the substance is produced outside of such an area. These fees apply to a maximum of 500,000 barrels of a substance per well per year; any barrels over that amount are not subject to the fee. The bill specifies that injection well owners may retain up to 3% of the fee and forward the remainder to the Treasurer of State for transmission to DMRM for the administration of injection well statutes.
Gas storage well regulatory fee. The bill requires the owner of a gas storage well or a gas storage reservoir monitoring well to pay an annual fee of $125 per well to fund DMRM's gas well storage program and related regulatory oversight functions, including inspections. Under the bill, an owner must pay the fee by March 31 of each year, and the proceeds of the fee would be deposited into Fund 5180. According to DNR, approximately 1,760 wells would be subject to this fee.
Mandatory pooling fee. The bill creates a fee of $5,000 to be added to standard application fees for permits to drill a well if the application is for a permit that requires mandatory pooling. According to DNR, only about 15 wells would be subject to this fee.
Temporary inactive well fee. The bill creates a "temporary inactive well status" for wells that have annual production of less than a certain amount of oil or gas. The bill creates a fee of $100 per well to be paid upon first applying for a one-year temporary inactive well status. The fee for a first renewal would be $250 per well, and each subsequent renewal would be $500 per well. DNR estimates that approximately 1,000 wells would qualify for temporary inactive well status and be subject to this fee.
Well transfer fee. The bill creates a fee of $100 per well to be paid (1) upon the assignment or transfer of the entire interest in an oil or gas lease, or (2) the transfer of the entire interest of a well to a landowner for use as an exempt domestic well. DNR estimates that approximately 3,500 wells would be subject to this fee.
Well drilling permit fee. Under current law, there is a fee of $250 for a permit to drill an oil or gas well in a township with a population of fewer than 5,000 residents, and a fee of $500 for a permit to drill in a township with at least 5,000 but fewer than 10,000 residents. The bill consolidates these into a single fee of $500 for drilling in townships with populations of fewer than 10,000. This change would only affect applicants for permits to drill in townships with fewer than 5,000 residents. DNR estimates that approximately 600 wells would be subject to this fee.
Expedited review fee – new wells in nongas reservoir areas. Under current law, there is a fee of $500 for an expedited review of an application for a permit to drill a new well, if the well is not to be located in a gas storage reservoir or reservoir protective area. The bill decreases this fee to $250.
Well plugging permit fee. Under current law, there is a fee of $50 to apply for a permit to plug and abandon a well if the well has produced oil or gas. The bill increases this fee to $250. Revenue from this fee increase would be used to address the backlog of idle and orphaned wells that have not yet been plugged. DNR estimates that this fee would apply to approximately 800 wells. According to the Department, the average cost to plug a well is between $8,000 and $12,000, though some wells may cost as much as $20,000 to plug.
Expedited review fee – well plugging. Under current law, unless the Chief of DMRM has ordered a well to be plugged, there is a fee of $250 to apply for an expedited review of an application to plug and abandon a well. The bill increases the fee from $250 to $500.
Brine injection fee. Under current law, there is a fee of $100 for a permit to inject brine or other waste substances into an underground formation unless the Chief of DMRM expressly authorizes the injection. The bill increases this fee to $1,000.
Current law requires that money in the Oil and Gas Well Fund (Fund 5180) be used to (1) plug wells and properly restore land surfaces for which bonds have been forfeited, (2) plug abandoned wells for which no funds are available, (3) inject oil or gas production wastes in abandoned wells, (4) correct conditions that the Chief of DMRM reasonably determines are causing imminent health or safety risks, and (5) administer the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 and the Division's other functions. The bill revises the uses of the money in Fund 5180 to require that at least 14% of the revenue credited to the fund during the previous fiscal year be used solely and exclusively for the purposes described below.
The bill generally maintains the requirements in (1) and (3) above, but specifies that wells to be plugged are "idle and orphaned wells," removes item (2), and no longer requires that the fund be used for land surface restoration for which bonds have been forfeited. The bill further specifies activities that may be performed under contracts for well plugging or land restoration, and expressly prohibits the use of expenditures from the fund for contractor salaries, maintenance, equipment, or other administrative purposes except for costs directly attributed to plugging idle and orphaned wells.
In addition, under current law, a landowner who has not properly plugged and abandoned a well or has not properly restored the land may be reimbursed by DMRM for the reasonable costs of doing so under certain conditions. The bill generally maintains this authorization, but requires that DMRM's expenditures be consistent with the bill's new requirements for well plugging and land restoration contracts as described above.
The bill adds the requirement that the imminent health and safety risks included in requirement (4) above be located at an idle or orphaned well. The bill authorizes money in Fund 5180 to be used to initiate a corrective action on a well for which the owner cannot be contacted, and requires DMRM to issue an order requiring the well owner to reimburse the Division for the actual documented costs of such an action.
The bill adds that expenditures from Fund 5180 must be used solely and exclusively for the administration of the Oil and Gas Law and the Underground Storage of Gas Law (encompassing the requirements described above), including for purposes that are critical and necessary for the protection of human health and safety and the environment related to oil and gas production in the state. The bill additionally prohibits money in the fund from being used for the purchase of real property or to remove a dwelling in order to access a well.
· A new requirement that the Division maintain an online, publicly accessible database of final, nonappealable orders and material and substantial violations.
Overall, the Division of Mineral Resources Management will incur substantial new costs for implementing the changes required by the bill. Although these costs would largely be borne by Fund 5180, some of these initial expenses could be paid from the GRF until sufficient revenue from the new fee structure has accrued. In FY 2009, DMRM spent approximately $2.9 million on oil and gas regulation, including $2.7 million (92.4%) from Fund 5180 and $220,266 (7.6%) from the GRF.
Appropriations for oil and gas operations under H.B. 1 currently total approximately $6.6 million in FY 2010 and $4.8 million in FY 2011, as shown in Table 2 below. Note that while both line items in Fund 5180 are used exclusively for DMRM's oil and gas programs, only a portion of the GRF funding is used for these purposes. However, DMRM is relying on an increased portion of GRF line item 744321, Division of Mineral Resources Management, to fund oil and gas operations in FY 2010. In this fiscal year to date, $390,463 has been spent from line item 744321 for oil and gas programs, approximately 77.3% above the total amount spent in FY 2009.
* Funds in this line item also support DMRM activities not related to oil and gas.
Foremost among the new costs the Department would incur in administering the revisions to the oil and gas programs are those for payroll. Currently, DMRM employs 35 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees in its oil and gas programs. Under the bill, the Division anticipates that it would need to hire at least another 33 FTEs, bringing the total to at least 68 FTEs in these two programs. These new positions would be in the areas of field inspection, permitting, administration, and information technology. The additional information technology staff would be needed to implement the required online violations database and perform mapping operations.
Personnel costs (including salaries and fringe benefits) incurred by the oil and gas program totaled slightly over $2.0 million in FY 2009. Of this amount, 3.7% was paid out of the GRF, while 96.3% was supported by Fund 5180. However, the GRF has assumed a larger portion of oil and gas payroll costs incurred to date in FY 2010. Total FY 2010 payroll costs to date for the oil and gas program have been approximately $2.1 million, of which $1.3 million (63.8%) was derived from Fund 5180 and $748,000 (36.2%) came from the GRF.
Using FY 2009 payroll expenditures of $2.0 million for a staff of 35 employees, this represents an average payroll cost of just over $57,000 per employee, including wages and fringe benefits. At the same average pay rate, an additional 33 employees would cost the Division an additional $1.9 million annually, not taking into account variable costs such as regular step increases and other adjustments. Presumably, all of this additional payroll would be paid out of Fund 5180 rather than the GRF, supported in large part by the new and increased fees proposed in the bill.
Some of the provisions listed above would have an effect on local governments, particularly those related to enforcement of the Oil and Gas Law. Current law allows well owners to appeal certain actions by the Chief of DMRM to the court of common pleas in the applicable county. The bill's modification to some of these requirements may result in additional appeals and thus additional costs to county courts to handle the cases, though these are not likely to be more than minimal. These expenses may be offset by a provision requiring penalties associated with violations of a compliance agreement entered into under the Oil and Gas Law to be paid into the treasury of the county in which the violation occurred.
The bill requires the legislative authorities of political subdivisions to hold public meetings concerning proposed lease agreements for oil and gas development on land that is (1) located in an urbanized area and (2) owned by the political subdivision. This requirement and its attendant notification requirements may create additional minimal costs to local governments.
The bill makes some changes to current law and institutes new provisions regarding the circumstances under which an oil and gas producer must provide a surety bond to DMRM. Under current law, a producer must file a surety bond with DMRM before being issued a permit for a well. The bill adds that a bond must be filed before a well is operational and productive, and prohibits the operation of a well if a surety bond has not been filed. The bill also requires any owner, operator, producer, or other person who forfeited a surety bond to post a new bond in the amount of $15,000 for a single well, $30,000 for two wells, or $50,000 for three or more wells. For a well owner who applies more than three times for a renewal of temporary inactive well status, the bill authorizes the Chief of DMRM to require a surety bond in an amount up to $10,000 for each temporary inactive well. Finally, the bill makes changes regarding surety bond requirements for brine transporters. Overall, the changes to surety bond procedures may result in some additional surety bonds being held by the Department and retained in the Bond Refunds Fund (Fund R017).
The bill grants DMRM the authority to impose a priority lien against an owner's interest in an oil or gas well if the owner fails to pay applicable oil or gas fees, or if DMRM incurs costs to correct imminent health and safety risks associated with a well. Any lien would be in the amount of fees owed and costs incurred, and amounts collected pursuant to a lien would be deposited in the Oil and Gas Well Fund (Fund 5180). The bill also specifies that DMRM's priority lien is in addition to any lien imposed by the Attorney General for failure to pay the oil and gas regulatory cost recovery assessment or severance taxes. In cases where the Attorney General cannot collect such a lien, the bill allows the Tax Commissioner to request that DMRM impose a priority lien for assessments and taxes owed. In addition to these changes, the bill requires DMRM to file the following documents in the office of the county recorder in the county in which the well is located: (1) a statement of the lien, (2) any lien modifications, and (3) upon release of the lien, a certificate of release. This could lead to the collection of some minimal additional recordation fees by county recorders.
The bill authorizes the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) to exempt a natural gas company's investment in gathering lines or storage facilities from certain statutes pertaining to PUCO's rate-setting authority and operating requirements. Under the bill, this would allow a natural gas company to bear the financial risk and reward for such a facility and would require the company to separate the operations of the exempted facility from the company's nonexempt operations. The bill grants PUCO continuous jurisdiction to enforce the terms of any exemption order and the authority to alter, amend, or suspend an order under certain conditions. Regardless, a natural gas company issued an exemption under these circumstances would still be required to pay all regulatory taxes and fees under current law. This provision would thus have no fiscal effect on the state.

The Birthday Party – Mutiny / The Bad Seed EP (4AD EP, 1983)
4ad | cd cad301cd | 1983
I've always been of the opinion that if an artist or band is going to make a final statement, then it should be well-executed and tightly-delivered. This holds true for The Birthday Party's final two EPs, which are collected together onto this single CD by 4AD. The Bad Seed (originally released as a 12″ on the band's UK home of many years, 4AD) and Mutiny (originally released on Mute) were both recorded at the famous Hansa Studios in Berlin and produced by the band themselves, with uncredited assistance from Einstürzende Neubauten's Blixa Bargeld.
By now the erstwhile drummer Phil Calvert was long disposed with in favour of Mick Harvey; Rowland S. Howard became the sole guitarist and the creative dynamic had shifted toward the writing partnership of Nick Cave and Harvey (with the exception of the opener, 'Sonny's Burning', the last track written by all four members of the group). The sound is raw and urgent, but well-honed and less prone to excess, while still retaining enough of the rough edge that set The Birthday Party apart from their contemporaries.
'Wild World' stands out as a highlight, blessed by its sludgy blues ethic and restrained vocal performance from Cave, whose vocal has become more direct and confident throughout this awesome collection. Tracy Pew's bass is close-mic'd to allow the resonant twang of the strings to be heard. Elsewhere, Howard's guitar is fed through numerous effects boxes, in particular deploying his famous 'infinite reverb' on several tracks, which allowed cycles of feedback to spiral, ebb and flow. While recorded no doubt at the height if the band's drug abuse, the collection is markedly more controlled than Junkyard, as if recorded in a brief moment of lucidity. Nothing is more true of this approach than the final track, 'Mutiny In Heaven' (featuring Bargeld on guitar), which sees the band playing with studio effects with Cave's vocal lines overlapping and multi-tracked, while the guitars are processed into ringing bells of sound. 'If this is heaven I'm bailing out,' sings Cave. The Party was nearly over, and Cave thus signalled that the last guest should leave. 'Mutiny In Heaven' deals with the concept of euphoric God-like feelings following a hit of smack, but I'm not clear on whether it glorifies or condemns it. More extreme than the Velvet Underground's opium hymn, 'Heroin', 'Mutiny In Heaven' has an edge that is as marvellous as it is malevolent.
Two previously-unreleased demos from the Mutiny sessions are included on the CD – 'The Six Strings That Drew Blood' (a totally different track from that which later appeared on Cave's The Firstborn Is Dead) and 'Avalanche Of Sound', both of which are stripped and raw and perfect even as unfinished works.
Although a year away, Bargeld's appearance on the final track heralded the approach of The Bad Seeds, the band Cave formed around Bargeld and Harvey. As final statements go, this stacks up very higly indeed, leaving you unsure as to whether it's enough as it is or whether you're in need of more.

Reports from the Black River Police are that Shaye left home to do errands in Black River but never returned. All attempts to locate her have failed. When last seen, Shaye was wearing a yellow and white dress and a pair of black sneakers.


Ravenswood, Queens, started as a tony hamlet in the middle of the 19th Century, but by the time of this photograph it had been absorbed into Long Island City. In this photograph, looking west, one can see the ongoing construction of the Queensboro Bridge. It looks as if the Blackwell's Island span was complete and what remains is to connect to the spans on Manhattan and Long Island. The bridge, originally named the Blackwell's Island Bridge, would open to the public on June 12, 1909, not too long after this photo was taken. The question is: how much longer did it take for the rural character of the area to be supplanted by the industrial character of today?

As mum, nurturing our mental wellbeing is a priceless wellbeing action.
One way to nurture our mental wellbeing daily is via kind self-talk.

BLOCKCHAINS.
Innovation 24.10.2019 5 Min.
What are the potential applications for blockchains in the automotive and mobility industry, and how could the technology make everyday life simpler for motorists? Upon hearing the word "blockchain", many people immediately think of Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency is the best-known example of how this relatively new technology can be used. However, blockchains (or, strictly speaking, distributed ledger technologies – known as DLT for short) can provide an answer to a host of future questions and could also have a sustained influence on mobility in tomorrow's world.
"Blockchain technology alone is not going to solve everything," explains Dr. Andre Luckow, Head of Distributed Ledger and Emerging Technologies at the BMW Group. "Rather, it will provide us with the technical basis needed to take new approaches and create innovative solutions." Dr. Luckow's team is working together with specialist departments from all areas of the company to develop potential blockchain applications throughout the automotive value chain and test them out.
But, what exactly is a blockchain? Blockchains are essentially a new form of database. They store transactions (e.g. transfers, deliveries or purchases) in blocks that cannot be changed. The benefits of blockchains are rooted first and foremost in two principles:
A blockchain is decentralised. First, all participants establish what information is to enter the blockchain – in other words, they agree on the rules for their collaboration. They can then send their transactions to the blockchain with equal rights. All participants carry out reciprocal checks of the transactions. There is no central server that could fail or be tampered with. Anyone wishing to modify data at a later date must do so with the approval of over half the participants.
Each block has a digital fingerprint known as a hash. And each block contains the hash of the previous block, meaning that it effectively includes that block's encrypted content. As a result, all blocks are interlinked (hence the name "blockchain"). If someone was to subsequently modify a data block, the manipulation would immediately be apparent as the content would no longer match the fingerprint.
The new technology holds great potential for the automotive and mobility industry.
"The hype surrounding blockchains has died down, and it is even met with occasional scepticism now. However, we remain convinced that blockchains represent a real opportunity," continues Dr. Luckow. He can envisage them being potentially used for applications such as managing supply chains to increase transparency and efficiency or enabling vehicles to process transactions by themselves (e.g. paying parking or toll charges). He says that the technology could also be used for giving consumers more control over their data.
The successful implementation of such applications on the basis of blockchain technology very much hinges on whether cross-industry standards and ecosystems can be devised and established. To this end, the BMW Group has adopted a broad-based consortium strategy and is actively involved in initiatives including the Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative (MOBI).
"It is essential to create digital ecosystems that share a common infrastructure and use applications with agreed standards and control models," emphasises Dr. Luckow. "The only way to speed up the development and acceptance of blockchain systems is to have common, open standards and ecosystems."
In July 2019, the MOBI consortium – which was co-founded by the BMW Group and also involves other manufacturers and suppliers from the automotive and mobility sector – published its Vehicle Identity Standard. This standard is intended to form the future basis for reliable data communication within a mobility ecosystem and facilitate data transparency, coordination and automation of transactions between stakeholders.
"The Vehicle Identity Standard is a crucial element for future blockchain-based vehicle and mobility services. We are pleased to be participating in the multi-stakeholder proof of concept so that we can continue to drive the development of the standard and study its application," says Dr. Luckow.
Further information and current BMW Group use cases for blockchains can be found in the web special.
Further information on the Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative and the Vehicle Identity Standard is available here.
HEY MICROSOFT, HEY BMW.
Microsoft and the BMW Group have been successful partners since 2016. Their latest project is about an open-source platform for in-car AI.
A QUANTUM LEAP FOR MOBILITY?
Digitalisation is a driving factor behind the transformation of individual mobility. The BMW Group is now working with a new, considerably more powerful tool – the quantum computer.

04/06/2021	by Evangeline Grace	in Anna Von Riezinger, Community, Constitutions, Elected Officials, New Mexico Assembly
Today's date is April 6, 2021
On April 5, 2021, Mike Johnston the State Coordinator for the New Mexico Assembly received an electronic communication from FedEx. The FedEx scanned contents are as stated:
Affirmation: Notice of Interest
Request for Fair Hearing First Notice to New Mexico Assembly [Private Law Outside the United States]
The contents of this notice contain a combination of affirmations and affidavits. The "Affiants" as stated in the 'Notice of Interest' are Robin Bullard Williamson, Wendee Jane Doster, and Victor Nelson Weitz.
The Affiants have stated that the Respondents are the New Mexico Assembly, Coordinator Mike Johnston, Co-Coordinators: Evangeline and Dominic Knipfing, Rodney Perez Treasurer, SIA Coordinator: Tim McClain, State Recorder: Carrie McClain.
It must be stated that the Affiants have named in error Evangeline Knipfing as a Co-Coordinator. She is not a co-coordinator, but is the web coordinator and elected State Recording Secretary.
Rodney Perez is not the Treasurer, but is an elected State Recording Secretary. The Sign In America Coordinators are Tim and Carrie McClain. Tim McClain is an elected State Recording Secretary. This is a misidentifying of the officers and volunteers and for the record, it should be corrected as the Respondents were not properly addressed.
It must also be stated that nothing has been received by Registered Mail. This is the proper way to notice, not by way of unidentified FedEx scans via electronic communication.
The self-described Affiants should ponder over the next 30 days whether they wish to be heard in a municipal or territorial court, because Affidavits are not used by Living Men and Women in Common Law and the vacillation between affirmation and affidavit is confusing at best.
The Affiants have asked for a "Fair Hearing" as if there was a Common Law Court set up and readily at their disposal. If this were the case, would an affidavit be used?
The New Mexico Assembly is asking each and all the declarations of Robin Bullard Williamson, Wendee Jane Doster, and Victor Nelson Weitz to be clearly stated and separate in their own affirmation of testimony and statement of facts.
The New Mexico Assembly is asking for the man and women claiming to be Affiants to make your notice as a living man and two living women and to not address this Assembly as legal persons. There is no place in our Assembly for legal fictions, affidavits, affiants, and quoting constitutional rights.
Further, improperly identifying yourselves as "R. Williamson, W. Doster, and Victor Weitz" further confuses the matter as does the use of Parse Syntax.
We will respond to a properly crafted Notice when we receive one. We cannot at this time respond to Affiants acting as legal persons with Affidavits. We are living men and women.
To understand why we have taken this position, please read the two following articles by Anna Von Reitz about Affidavits and Constitutions.
We look forward to reviewing your corrected Notice served the proper way.
Kindly, The New Mexico Assembly
We Don't Use Affidavits- Ever
Using an affidavit identifies you as a Legal Person, occupying an "office of personhood" and automatically subjects you to the foreign law and codes of the British Territorial Government.
You have to be part of their government or part of ours, and there is no iffy-andsy-orsie to it. Most people are desperately trying to get back to being Americans and standing on the land and soil jurisdiction where they belong, but they are also so ignorant and confused that they are constantly "going back into the maze" that we just got them out of, by doing idiot things like issuing "affidavits" when they have been repeatedly, relentlessly and pointedly told that we, Americans, never, ever use "affidavits".
We are not subject to foreign law. We do not occupy offices of personhood in foreign governments. And we do not ever quote Federal Code for any purpose other than reminding our Employees what their published law says about them and their obligations —- not our obligations— their Obligations.
We, as Americans and as living people, cannot and do not EVER use or issue "affidavits" of any kind. Period.
We use Testimony in the Form of an Affidavit, which simply means that we number the points of our testimony 1, 2, 3, 4…. but we NEVER, EVER submit or create Affidavits of ANY KIND.
Because when we do, we lose everything we have gained in the process of declaring our proper political status, and are "presumed" to be "voluntarily" adopting the status of a British Territorial U.S. Citizen and also voluntarily subjecting ourselves to that foreign law — instead of standing apart from it and exercising our exemption from it. Which is the whole point!
I am so disgusted, so appalled, when I have told everyone these facts for years on end. Wake to hell up, all of you. Your lives and your country depend on it.
Those who want to play in the Federal Code Sandbox need to go join a District Assembly right now and get to hell out of our State Assemblies. Permanently.
There are two mighty efforts going on — Employees trying to correct their operation of the District and Municipal Governments, and the Employers putting their government into Session. Never the twain shall meet.
So all you guys who want to correct the District Government — hop to it. Be my guest. But get out of our assemblies and go join your own. Stop causing confusion. If you want to live under Federal Code, fine. Again, hop to it. You don't belong in any State Assembly. Leave. Don't let the screen door hit you on your way out.
No Affidavits, No Executors, No Contracts, and No Constitutions
Let's begin with the First Amazing Fact in reverse order: no Constitutions.
Americans don't "derive their substance" from Constitutions. We derive our standing and substance from The Declaration of Independence. That is what forms the backbone and substance of our
political identity.
We, and our ancestors, are the ones who fought and bled for that freedom and earned the right to be called "the free, sovereign, and independent people".
So, we, Americans, don't stand "under" any Constitution and that includes any State of State Constitution.
Even though people tend to be stubbornly egocentric, and to assume that everything is about them, the Constitutions are not about us.
The Constitutions are 95% about our Federal Subcontractors, the organization of their activities, the stipulated services they are to perform, and the limitations placed on them—- which is why our Federal Subcontractors are responsible for obeying the Constitutions and supporting them—- as a condition of their employment.
The Constitutions are what grant our Federal Subcontractors their political status as U.S. Citizens and/or as Municipal citizens of the United States, so they are also intrinsically vital to our Federal Employees. Without the Constitutions, they become "stateless"— but we sail right on.
We are only mentioned, largely in Amendments, like X and XI, and as afterthoughts — in the Preamble and the Bill of Rights.
So as Americans who aren't Federal Employees, please wake up and realize where your strength and identity comes from: The Declaration of Independence.
And don't expect any Constitution to tell you who you are, because the Constitutions are not about you— aren't now and never were.
This is probably a big surprise to people who have been indoctrinated all their lives to place an inordinate emphasis and importance on the Constitutions —without, however, understanding what the Constitutions are.
The Constitutions are the implementation agreements resulting from the peace process that ended The War of Independence. The Treaties that underlie the Constitutions are what drive them and caused the Constitutions, which are Power-Sharing Agreements, to exist.
Many Americans don't even realize that there is more than one Constitution involved. Such is the ignorance promoted by the "Public" School System– but it is an ignorance which we must now overcome.
I went over the "news" that there are no contracts under American Common Law in some detail yesterday in an Article titled bluntly, "There Are No Contracts Under American Common Law". In it, I explained why we don't do contracts and why contracts are not applicable to Americans. The final two points speak to the same issues of identities and capacities.
Living people can't do affidavits. Only Officers or elected Officials of corporations can issue affidavits because affidavits are "statements" made by Persons — those occupying Offices of Personhood.
People have a voice, so we speak, we say. Persons make statements. See the difference?
Thus, a Borough Mayor can give an affidavit. A British Warrant Officer working for the IRS can give an affidavit. A billing clerk working for the Big City Electric Company, Inc., can give an affidavit. But you cannot stand as a living American, someone asserting all your Natural and Unalienable
Rights, and issue any kind of affidavit. You have to provide testimony in the "form" of an affidavit, which is a different beastie entirely.
I have said this before and again and again, and still, not a day goes by without some "affidavit" drafted by a clueless American coming across my desk. These are worthless pieces of paper, often composed in some weird combination of English and all capital letters Dog Latin, in which some pitiful ignoramus claims that he has Natural and Unalienable rights to do something or other—- while issuing an affidavit, and therefore, apparently serving as a member of a foreign government acting under delegated power.
Right. So ask yourselves— does an Officer in the British Merchant Marines have the Natural and Unalienable Rights of an American?
No, he does not.
So why would you ever issue an affidavit as if you were such an Officer, claiming that you had Natural and Unalienable Rights? The condition (being an Officer of a Corporation or Military Service) precludes the possibility that you have any such rights.
No wonder their judges throw your crap on the floor and don't read it. It's nothing but gibberish and constructive oxymorons from start to finish — endless reams of it. You talk endlessly about rights that you–at the same time– admit you don't have, by submitting an affidavit and thereby admitting
to be a Brit or an officer of the Holy Roman Empire.
It would be funny, if it didn't matter who you are and if it didn't matter in what capacity you stand— but for millions of Americans, it does matter. It's the difference between being prosecuted under foreign law or not prosecuted at all. It's the difference between losing your home and not losing your home. It's the difference between thousands of dollars of fines and fees, versus owing nothing.
For God's sake, wake up. Know who you are. See what you are giving away to these snakes. And learn to defend yourselves from your own misguided employees.
Finally, let me address the latest rage in some patriot circles — claiming executorship of your own estate.
Obviously, if you have an estate that requires executorship, you are "dead" and you admit that you are "dead". And if you volunteer to play "executor" of such an estate, there is no doubt whatsoever that you know and agree that you are "dead" with respect to your birthright.
The moment that you say that you are "competent to manage my own affairs" you are admitting to being a Brit and an "Authorized Representative" of the King, and yes, you may then administer your own estate — for the benefit of the King, to whom you surrender it.
This is more of the same crap that Phil Hudok accepted, in which the perpetrators proposed that if he agreed that he was a "natural person" —- that is, admit that he was dead, they would pay him off using his own credit card to do it.
After World War II the Powers That Were put everyone's assets into Cestui Que Vie trusts, on the pretense that so many people and so many governments were disrupted, it was impossible to know who owned what — so the Allied Governments stepped in and seized everything belonging to everyone via legal chicanery and used this as an instrumentality to pillage and plunder and control.
They did this even in places like America and Canada, where little or none of the war actually touched our shores, where there was no bombing, and no excuse for taking such measures.
There are only three positions in a trust — donor, trustee, and beneficiary. It is possible for a donor to also serve as the intended beneficiary of a trust, but it is not possible to be the donor and the trustee, too.
So when you claim to be the "Executor" — the King's Man in charge of the trust, acting as the Trustee, you are unavoidably claiming to be: (1) a Brit and an Officer of the King, administering a British Estate for the King, and (2) someone having no interest in the trust being administered.
That is, by volunteering to act as the Executor of your own estate, you are gaining a secondary control of it, but you are giving it up at the same time.
I doubt that that is what most American patriots are aiming for.
No, the position of power in a trust is that of the Donor, and they have "presumed" you to be the Donor and intended Beneficiary of this trust that they have created "for" you. So take up the position of the Donor and tell them what you want done. Make it explicit and simple. I am an American and I am the presumed Donor of the trust and I wish it to be disgorged and liquidated in my favor. Settle any debts before the court and set me free.
See how simple that was? Or, alternatively, enter your own vacated Trust Court, reserved for the Donors as a condition of remedy to make all this crappola "legal"—– and directly nullify and set aside whatever nonsense the rats have offered to do to your estate.
Remember that I told you that they set up all these State Trusts in the wake of the Civil War? And they operated these things under names like Ohio State and Nevada State and Wisconsin State —- and just neglected to add the word "Trust" so that you wouldn't know what was going on?
They should have called it what it was — Ohio State Trust, Nevada State Trust, Wisconsin State Trust — but they didn't and they didn't for a reason. Hiding the truth of what they'd done and hiding your position of power as the Presumed Donors of these trusts (or your parents or grandparents or great-grandparents position as "presumed" Donors) would have destroyed any secondary power they had as foreign executors de son tort.
So, no, children, you don't want to ever claim to be foreign executors charged with the job of administering estates of "persons lost at sea", whereabouts unknown. You want to stand there flatfooted as the long-lost "Presumed" Donor of your own estate, or, in the case of our States, the Lawful Inheritor thereof, and ream these self-satisfied crooks all the way to Banff and back.
Knowing who you are and who you aren't, is the absolute key, both to your freedom and to control of your own assets.
Please stop tripping over your own feet? Stop issuing affidavits. Stop claiming to be executors of your own estates. Stop signing contracts— good faith agreements are what Americans use to conduct business. Stop looking to Constitutions to tell you much of anything about your status or history, because the Constitutions are 95% about your foreign Federal Employees and have precious little to do with you.
Virtually everything I have said here has been said before in multiple other articles, but the information isn't getting out to the patriot community fast enough — with the result that thousands more Americans are suffering and going to jail and fiddling around and getting entangled in these identity scams, and being victimized by those who are pillaging these fraudulently constructed public trusts. Form up, fellows. See through it and put an end to it.

01/30/2021	by Evangeline Grace	in American State Citizen, American State National, American States Assembly, Constitutions, Government, Land Recording Office, Political Status, Secretary of State, State Assembly
Notice of Political Status and Situation Report
First of October 2019
Secretary of State, Michael Pompeo
2201 C Street NW
Secretary of Defense, Dr. Mark T. Esper
1000 Defense, Pentagon
Washington, DC 20301 -1000
This letter brings to your urgent attention the fact that literally millions of American civilians have been
misidentified by your respective offices. The content of this letter is being broadcast to approximately
65 million Witnesses worldwide, so there is no purpose in claiming that you never received this
information. Notice to Agents is Notice to Principals; Notice to Principals is Notice to Agents.
Millions of Americans have been falsely presumed to be some species of Federal United States citizen
engaged in a commercial mercenary conflict on our shores, when in fact they are non-combatant Third
Parties and are actually your Employers. They are State Citizen Parties to all three Federal
Constitutions and are owed your Good Faith Service and every jot of every Constitutional Guarantee.
These people have suffered mechanized and institutionalized identity theft and genocide on paper while
your Predecessors partied it up in Washington, DC, and racked up Odious Debt against our purloined
credit. We are putting a stop to it, Gentlemen, and you are going to help us put a stop to it.
Millions of American civilians have been deprived of their property rights using deliberately
constructed fraud schemes administered through the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the
Social Security Administration, the Office of the Secretary of State, the Office of the Secretary of
Defense, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Office of the Secretary of the United States
Treasury, the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the Banking and Securities Commissions, States of States
franchise organizations, Bureaus of Vital Statistics, the unauthorized Department of Justice, and
associated organizations.
This is the single greatest crime against a civilian population in world history, and it has all come to a
head on your watch.
My husband and I have notified you and your Predecessors eight times in 20 years that we are
American State Nationals who may at our discretion act as American State Citizens: non-combatant
civilians native to the States of this country. Both definitions, American State National and American
State Citizen, are recognized in your own Federal Code at 8 USC 1101 (a) 21 and 8 USC 1101 (a) 22.
Amazingly, it appears that your offices have lost our Prior Notices —- again, and neither one of
you know a thing about what we are telling you.
So we shall be sending you another set of wet-ink Notices of Political Status signed under penalty of
perjury for Anna Maria Riezinger (and all variations, permutations, abbreviations and punctuations of
that name) and for James Clinton Belcher (and all variations, permutations, abbreviations, and
punctuations of that name) via Registered Mail and we shall be standing ready to produce our mailing
receipts and records detailing the same correspondence going back to 1998 plus additional evidence of
the fraud against us, only this time, we are instituting a new system of publication for such Notices so
that they are Published in Public and available for anyone, including your offices, at any time.
It has proven to be too convenient for your Offices to lose or misplace our Notices and other records, so
we are forming a permanent International Land Recording Office for these Notices of Political
Status and other documents. These new International Land Recording Offices will function in tandem
with our State Assemblies and will be held under the authority and jurisdiction of The United States
of America, our unincorporated Federation of States formed September 9, 1776.
A new alpha numeric ID system will also be put in place. Each eligible American civilian will be
issued an independent identifier, instead of Social Security Numbers and other identifiers which have
been used as part of the fraud against us.
These new designated Unique Living Being (ULB) identifiers will be the private property of the people
using them and will have both public and private interfaces. These will be used to identify the political
status of the users and other basic information about them, and will in turn be used by them to identify
their private property.
This will enable all members of the military and foreign privatized law enforcement agents and foreign
court administrators to recognize American civilians and their private property at a glance, so that they
can easily avoid trespassing upon us and avoid making inappropriate presumptions and assumptions
about our political status, about our rights and about any obligation or lack of obligation of juridical
persons attached to our names for administrative purposes in foreign jurisdictions.
You are to assume from this moment onward that you are surrounded by approximately 200 million
American civilians who have been the victims of organized crime perpetuated against them by their
own employees — foreign subcontractors acting in Gross Breach of Trust.
You are to assume from this moment onward that your duty – your only actual duty – is to protect and
defend these abused Americans, and from now on competently administer the trust which these people
have placed in you. Corroborating correspondence to follow shortly. Any and all claims against our
Public Insurance for bankrupt corporations chartered "for" us are to be refused and referred to former
Prince Philip and Pope Francis.
Justice Anna Maria Riezinger

Our Hospice Nurses care for patients at the end of their lives. Their main responsibility is to help people live as comfortably and independently as possible and with the least amount of pain, in their final days. One of the largest parts of being a Hospice Nurse involves helping patients, and their families, feel more comfortable about death and providing them with the emotional support they need. Our RNs go beyond that and care for the patient's mind, body and spirit while supporting their families and caregivers as well.
Are you a nurse with the calling to assist patients in the most critical days? Can you support patient needs and help families as needed? Do you have empathy and compassion only a hospice nurse can have? Let us show you a way to put all these skills to work.
Complete a thorough nursing assessment on admission and with each skilled nurse visit.
Provide services or treatments requiring substantial and specialized nursing skill according with the written patient care plan and the signed plan of treatment.

In September 2010 the Government of Southern Sudan's Ministry of Health sent a team to Kediba, Witto Payam, Mundri East County in Western Equatoria State after reports that there was an increase in the number of cases of a bizarre disease known as 'nodding syndrome' in the area. The team found 96 cases registered in the internally displaced camp1 (see the main article in this issue).
The syndrome has been known for long time in the communities of Western Equatoria State. What has been lacking is a consistent programme to address it. Children have been physically and mentally affected by the syndrome and communities are consumed with fear. The exact prevalence of nodding syndrome in Southern Sudan is unknown.
A large study must be done in the affected areas. The Ministry of Health needs to work closely with the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in addressing this problem. Let the investigations in Witto Payam be a catalyst for more action. At least, the communities want to see that something is being done about this devastating condition.

Jamie Jones-Buchanan on his Leeds Rhinos love affair, Grand Final glory and his glittering career
IT FEELS disrespectful, almost criminal even, to write a feature with Jamie Jones-Buchanan limited to just 1,100 words.
Saturday, 12th October 2019, 7:00 am
Whereas some sportsmen have little to say and such a total would leave the writer in a state of panic, with the colourful Leeds Rhinos legend it is rarely enough.
He has plenty to say and there is not a platitude in sight; it is often original, insightful or humorous and, sometimes, all three at once.
No subject is off limits, there is always an anecdote to be told and such depth.
Leeds Rhinos' Jamie Jones Buchanan celebrates with the Grand Final trophy.
Indeed, ask the 38-year-old just one solitary question and it could easily result in an answer that could fill this very page.
But, with that in mind, this writer has gone and wasted 126 words already so it is time to get over to the main man himself.
Today is Super League Grand Final day. This used to be Jones-Buchanan's domain; he won an incredible seven titles as part of Rhinos' famed 'golden generation'.
Rob Burrow and Danny McGuire had the flair and guile, Kevin Sinfield the tactical nous but Jones-Buchanan brought the hard yards, the graft and an insatiable appetite for work, the man all players wants to line up alongside rather than against.

He finally called it a day last month, ending a truly remarkable career.
Still, perhaps there are few better people to ask about what the players at St Helens and Salford Red Devils – the protagonists in the 2019 Grand Final – will be going through right now in the hours before kick-off.
Jones-Buchanan, whose first Old Trafford triumph came in 2004 and last just two years ago, used to enjoy the build-up to such occasions. Because there was hardly any actual build-up.
"It was relatively short compared to the Challenge Cup," he recalled, having finally won the Wembley showpiece in 2014 at the fifth attempt.
"By virtue of the Cup format – the semi being some time before – you've got a few weeks building up to it and lots of events involved around it.
"But the Grand Final is almost like you're playing an away game; there's none of the ceremonial, ritualistic events to go through – dinners, families to buy tickets for… and hair-cuts!
"It's the week after the semi and it's very much a smash-and-grab and that really suited us.
"We were used to playing Friday night 8'clock at Headingley, and playing on a Saturday at 6 0'clock was similar.
"That was the earliest we ever liked to play; we could tolerate six but historically playing any earlier we always struggled.
"The beauty of the Grand Final is you don't know you're there until the last minute and – in that last lead-up to the game itself – you can't get any stronger.
"You can't physically do any weights to make you stronger, you can't run any fitness sessions that are going to make you any fitter and, if anything, you are probably still recovering from the semi-final particularly if you didn't win it two weeks before.
"So the last week is just all about understanding who's in the team, what the gameplan is and how you are going to condense the lessons you have learned that year into one last 80 minute session of the year – making sure all the ducks are in a row."
One-club Jones-Buchanan, who played more than 400 games for his hometown Leeds and also represented England and Great Britain, conceded that process – and dealing with nerves –became easier the older he got.
"I played in eight Grand Finals and won seven of them," he said.
"Earlier on it was quite nerve-wracking and you can be quite superstitious about certain things – getting the kit ready, team being announced at certain times. But by the end of it, by the last Grand Final in 2017, I'll never forget what happened. We were playing Cas and we'd been paggered by them every game.
"We even got beat 66-10 earlier in the year. I went to Old Trafford and we'd been given these magnesium flakes to get a bath.
"They were supposed to help you sleep. But the big things for me are sleep, water and food, probably in that order.
"If I've slept well I'll know I'll probably play well so these magnesium flakes were a big thing. I took my camera and they wanted us to put some stuff up on social media but me being me, I can't do anything half-hearted.
"So I made a Grand Final video and ended up going round everyone and getting all the lads to hold their bags of magnesium and do different shots.
"Before the lads went to bed the night before I went to the toilet with them, or recorded getting into bed or getting in the bath and I was up until about midnight editing this video to make sure it got done...!
"The fact I was playing in a Grand Final the next day almost played second fiddle!
"The reason being you can't do anything really to change the way you are in that Grand Final.
"All you can do is prepare mentally and when you get old enough and experienced enough to understand you have enough miles in your legs you can deal with it like that.
"We always used to do the same routine; I had the belief and confidence to make that video because the routine follows.
"We'd always stop at the Midland (Hotel) in the middle of Manchester. In that last Grand Final, on the way there, Ryan Hall was just on You Tube watching videos of people all over the world playing the piano in random places.
"It might seem bizarre to an outsider as you're going to the biggest event of the year. But you almost become autonomous by the fact we've done so many."
Which, of course, is not the case for rookies Salford tonight who make their maiden Grand Final appearance.
Granted, a handful of their players have played and won at Old Trafford – Mark Flanagan and Josh Jones did so for Saints in 2014 – but they are massive underdogs against the leaders.
The talented Jones-Buchanan, who will be there ready to capture post-match interviews for Rugby AM in one of his countless subsidiary roles, had some words of advice.
"I'd be saying believe in what has got you to this point," he said.
"You're good enough to be there and you have all the ingredients.
"Defensively in terms of winning the ruck, they are outstanding. It's very hard to get any ruck speed against Salford.
"Don't let the occasion overraw your ethos – that work-ethic we have all seen – and go out and challenge Saints. You can."
It was fitting that Jones-Buchanan was awarded the Spirit of Super League at the Man of Steel awards on Sunday night.
It is presented to the player who personifies the competition's values of sportsmanship and commitment and who has earned the respect of their peers.
We might not see a character quite like him again. But thankfully he isn't going far. And there's plenty of words left over.
