Kootenay Festival of the Arts 2014
Kootenay Festival of the Arts is an adjudicated performing arts festival sponsored by the Nelson Musical Festival Association, a nonprofit society managed by volunteers from the West Kootenay area.
Uniquely situated in Nelson, British Columbia, the festival provides a showcase for young people in the Kootenay area to demonstrate their talent in categories of Piano, Vocal and Choral Arts, Strings and Guitar, Speech and Dramatic Arts, and Dance.
The format of the festival is to bring in excellent adjudicators in each discipline to work with students. Some students with unusual proficiency are referred to the provincial festival (Performing Arts BC) where they may excel and be given opportunity to showcase nationally. This festival is actually the only way to participate in the provincial and national festivals.
The churches and theatre venues of Nelson have always participated in this festival. The Festival opens opportunities for many volunteers to manage the venues and welcome the participants; many of these people are our seniors. Children as young as four years old participate as well as adult learners. Local businesses and sponsors have been pleased to contribute in support of the event since its inception. It is estimated that 3000 people are involved in this festival as participants, session audiences, sponsors, volunteers and two full-house Festival Highlights Concert audiences, all descending upon the downtown or church neighbourhoods of Nelson, dining and using hotels for a two week period. The festival has historically served to bind the region culturally, as Trail and Nelson have alternated and shared this event for so many years. The participants come from as far afield as Creston, Argenta and Grand Forks; dance participants from Spokane, and the Okanagan.
The goals of the Nelson Musical Festival Association are to promote, arrange and carry on competitive music festivals, and to encourage any other activities having as their object the development of musical ability and the appreciation of good music and allied arts.
Nelson Musical Festival Association, a registered non-profit society, is dedicated to providing an opportunity for young performers to achieve excellence.
Activities & Functions of the Association:
* To sponsor a community Music Festival on a bi-annual basis;
* To arrange publicity for the Festival;
* To solicit advertisers to sponsor ads in the Syllabus;
* To solicit donations for cash awards;
* To arrange for first-rate adjudicators for all disciplines;
* To arrange for rental of facilities to be used as venues;
* To schedule entrants/participants into classes;
* To organize community volunteers to assist Festival Committee as needed;
* To liaise with other community cultural groups and the Provincial Music Festival Committee

Ok First of all I know there was another thread saying warlocks are OP but I have better reasoning.
First of all Warlocks have like 10k health with gear at 70.
A Soul Link warlock is grossly over powered in PvE as well as PvP.
Warlocks have 3 fears, including death coil, and don't say "oh well you can just trinket out of it omfg, warlocks have nothing else!!11one11!" becuase you have 3! Count them 3 fears!!! so lets say you death
coil somone, you can fear them like twice, and then use howl of terror.
Warlocks also have instant heals for over 2k...enough said.
Warlocks get a free resurrection as long as they remember to keep ss up.
They have 5 pets, A VW has alot of armor and can be a warlocks tank that keeps aggro, making the warlock unbeatable soloing, an imp doesn't do much, but it does give a mini fort. Felhunter can see invisiblity and eats up magic. Suckibus has seduce..way to OP, and can turn invisible.
You have doTs with insane damage.
You have health draining attacks.
That proves how your OP.
And don't say I'm OP becuase yes I have stuns but, cheap shot is opener, Kideney shot is on DR, we have no burst damage, and CloS isnt realy a problem, you warlocks can just re-dot and fear us in 5 seconds anyways.

Boston Red Sox Rumors: 'Fact or Fiction' on All the Hottest Rumors in Boston
By Andrew Martin ,
A busy Boston offseason isn't over yet.
Sorting out which Boston Red Sox rumors are fact or fiction is a favorite pastime for fans as the 2013 season approaches. Although the team's offseason may be winding down, there are still a number of storylines that need to be sorted out.
Boston general manager Ben Cherington announced on WEEI's Dennis & Callahan show earlier this offseason that the team intended to have a significant payroll in 2013. It appears like that promise has been met because of all of Boston's new acquisitions.
WEEI's Alex Speier outlined how the Red Sox have neared the 2013 luxury tax threshold of $178 million. Those numbers got even closer because of their recent completion of a trade for closer Joel Hanrahan.
Coming off a 93-loss season in 2012, the Red Sox seem determined to put a contending team on the field in 2013. As a result, they have been associated with many available players—a trend that has continued despite their high payroll.
The Red Sox still officially lack a first baseman, and some, including WEEI's Rob Bradford, have questioned if the team can compete without a true superstar player. Despite what they have already spent, more moves are still possible.
Click through to find out the most recent information on which of the hottest Boston rumors are fact or fiction.
It's been a month since Napoli and the Red Sox agreed to a deal.
Napoli and the Red Sox agreed in principle on a three-year, $39 million contract last month for the free agent to be Boston's starting first baseman. However, the deal has not yet been finalized due to concerns Boston has with Napoli's health.
FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal wrote that the Red Sox became concerned with something about Napoli's hip that appeared during his physical. This has led to them insisting on specific contract language to protect their interests.
It has been unclear if Boston is seeking to reduce the number of years or insert a clause in Napoli's contract. Needless to say, these attempts at renegotiation have been met by resistance.
Multiple sources have reported that Napoli is fighting back by talking to other teams. However, that is more likely posturing than a sign that he might seriously consider taking his services elsewhere.
Boston's primary competition for Napoli had been the Seattle Mariners. However, since the Red Sox and the free agent agreed to their deal, Seattle subsequently acquired Kendrys Morales and Raul Ibanez, seemingly putting an end to their interest.
It seems unlikely there are other teams willing to come close to Boston's offer, especially now that news of Napoli's hip condition has been put on blast.
Red Sox fans should still expect to see Napoli in a Boston uniform in 2013.
Although he may not get the deal he originally struck with Boston, Napoli will still likely be in a Red Sox uniform come the start of spring training.
Despite the inability to finalize a contract, The Boston Globe's Peter Abraham recently wrote that signing Napoli remains a priority for the team.
The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo believes Boston is Napoli's best option, regardless of the haggling over contract terms, writing, "Unless he wants to accept a one-year contract somewhere or take a two-year deal from Texas, he's going to try to work out the language in the three-year, $39 million deal the Red Sox offered."
Napoli's career .356 OBP would fit well into a Boston lineup that places a premium on the ability to work counts and reach base.
If the Red Sox thought Napoli's hip was in such bad shape that it would impact his ability to play, they would have presumably reneged on the entire deal. Their attempts to renegotiate reflect their desire to protect themselves in the event something did go wrong for a player they would be paying a good deal of money.
With first base having a very shallow pool of available players this offseason, the Red Sox do not have many alternate options.
It will likely turn out that the two sides need each other too much for their differences to not eventually be worked out.
It's unlikely that LaRoche will be in Boston unless it's as a member of a visiting team.
LaRoche is the best remaining first baseman on the free-agent market. Since the Red Sox and Napoli entered renegotiations, LaRoche's name has increasingly been connected to Boston.
Despite the rumors, it is highly unlikely that the Red Sox have real interest in LaRoche, for a number of reasons.
The Washington Post's Adam Kilgore reported that LaRoche is insisting on a three-year contract and that his preference is re-signing with the Washington Nationals.
Even if the Red Sox were willing to give the 33-year-old LaRoche three years, they would likely give pause to the second round draft pick they would have to surrender to Washington under the new collective bargaining agreement.
The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo wrote that "While they're [Boston] keeping Adam LaRoche in their sights, they really don't want to give up a draft pick to sign him."
WEEI's Rob Bradford explained why the Red Sox should be so reluctant to give up a draft pick for LaRoche, as history shows the value of compensation selections.
Boston may also be turned off by LaRoche's subpar history against AL competition, where he has hit just .246 with 17 home runs and 55 RBI in 112 career games. Those are hardly numbers that inspire confidence in giving the kind of deal he is seeking.
Justin Upton may be traded, but it won't be to Boston.
The Red Sox currently lack a true superstar and there are few available options. But could Arizona Diamondbacks' outfielder Justin Upton be a candidate to come to Boston in a trade, as suggested by ESPN.com's Jim Bowden?
While ESPN.com's Buster Olney says that Arizona now has a surplus of outfielders because of recently signing Cody Ross to a free-agent deal, it does not appear Upton and Boston are a fit.
The price of acquiring Upton would almost certainly be seen as prohibitive by the Red Sox. Bowden suggested that it would take Xander Bogaerts and Matt Barnes, their top position and pitching prospects, to get talks started.
With shortstop and starting pitching being areas of long-term need for the Red Sox, it would be an incredibly risky move to trade young players with such high upside for a player as inconsistent as Upton. He finished fourth in 2011 NL MVP voting, but saw his OPS drop more than 100 points in 2012.
Even Arizona is doubtful of their compatibility with Boston in a deal for Upton. According to The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo, when their general manager Kevin Towers was asked if he saw Boston as a potential trade partner, he simply replied, "Probably not."
Red Sox fans would be ecstatic to see Stanton in a Boston uniform.
WEEI's Kirk Minihane wrote how Boston president and CEO Larry Lucchino appeared on the station's Dennis & Callahan Show earlier this offseason and indicated the team is no longer interested in long-term mega-contracts. It's that philosophy that makes Stanton a great fit for the Red Sox.
ESPN.com's Jim Bowden reported that the Miami Marlins aren't shopping Stanton, their lone remaining star player, but will listen to reasonable offers.
If the Marlins are willing to consider the possibility of moving Stanton, MassLive.com's Ben Shapiro believes the Red Sox have to get involved.
The 23-year-old Stanton has 162 game averages of .270 with 40 home runs and 101 RBI during his first three major league seasons. He will not be eligible for free agency until 2017, making him an ideal target for Boston because of their hesitancy to dole out lengthy contracts.
The price to obtain Stanton would almost certainly include top prospects like Xander Bogaerts and Jackie Bradley Jr. However, since Stanton is so young, major league-established and relatively cheap, it might be a gamble worth taking.
Boston general manager Ben Cherington told the Providence Journal's Tim Britton that he doesn't want to trade young players. However, acquiring a young superstar like Stanton would be a reasonable exception to that rule.
The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo reported that the Red Sox already inquired about Stanton earlier this offseason, indicating their interest in being considered if the unique opportunity to acquire such a young impact player comes to fruition.

"Creation was DIY by default. Our aspirations were always to find the new Beatles. Following the shoegaze years and the acid house years, we connected with Oasis, who made that a possibility. The story of the label is in two parts - the fun part and there's the not-so-fun part after the Sony buy-out [in '92]. The early years were the best time creatively. In one six-month period in '91 we put out Screamadelica, Bandwagonesque and Loveless. Even I, through the haze of every drug known to man, knew that it was never going to be better than that.
"When Oasis played at Knebworth in '96, I remember thinking, We should stop now, but my ego wouldn't let me. In my mind, I was shaping British culture. So we put out Be Here Now and sold another 20 million records, we went to 10 Downing Street, we met Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton stayed at my house, all that bollocks. People think Creation ended in piles of debt. In reality, we made a lot of money. What I did next isn't very rock'n'roll - I went into property and quadrupled it." Alan McGee
Definitely Maybe, 1994
Primal Scream were the flagship Creation band but Oasis were the goal scorers. This album made us the hottest indie of the '90s, and I still think it's Oasis's best album: Liam is bang on form and Noel had been sitting on these brilliant songs for years.
Download: Supersonic
Primal Scream
Screamadelica, 1991
I introduced Bobby Gillespie to ecstasy in early '89. By April he'd invented acid house. This album transformed them from a touring group on diminishing returns to the most exciting band in Britain. It's Exile On Main St in Ibiza.
Download: Movin' On Up
My Bloody Valentine
Loveless, 1991
It cost £270,000 to record, but it was worth it. It's the definitive shoegaze album; a soundscape thing - no tunes. I'm not really into music like this any more, but I know a lot of new bands are trying to sound like the Valentines.
Download: To Here Knows When
Copper Blue, 1992
Creation is known for its British bands, but we had a great US act in Sugar. It's a big, Beatles-y album from Bob Mould, the former Hüsker Dü singer. He approached me to put this out and we argued over the price of his contract for months. Who won? Me.
Download: Hoover Dam
Teenage Fanclub
Bandwagonesque, 1991
A brilliant album. I spent a lot of time in the US and signed Teenage Fanclub knowing they'd go down well over there. They were a Scottish band that wanted to be American. They hate it when I say that, but it's fucking true.
Download: The Concept
House Of Love House Of Love, 1988
This was House Of Love's only album for Creation, and it lined them up as the new Smiths. They had a brilliant songwriter in Guy Chadwick and an outrageous guitar player in Terry Bickers, but they went left at the lights and never came back.
Download: Man To Child
For the connoisseur
Nowhere, 1990
Ride were great from the first day I met them. They were shoegaze with tunes - a massive influence on bands like Coldplay. I hold myself responsible for fucking up their career by introducing them to The Byrds and The Beatles.
Download: Dreams Burn Down
Keeping The Faith, 1991
People call us Johnny-come- latelies to acid house, but we were there at the start. This was a compilation of bands and DJs making acid house tracks for me when we were going through a heavy ecstasy phase. I still play a lot of it when I'm DJing.

Creation - was, and will always be, a fantastic label...
I am still obsessed with The Jesus and Mary Chain - even though the majority of their recordings were not on Creation, they're still a Creation band...!

Book Description: Drawing from his own remarkable experience as a veteran classroom teacher (still in the classroom), Ron Berger gives us a vision of educational reform that transcends standards, curriculum, and instructional strategies. He argues for a paradigm shift - a schoolwide embrace of an "ethic of excellence." A master carpenter as well as a gifted teacher, Berger is guided by a craftsman's passion for quality, describing what's possible when teachers, students, and parents commit to nothing less than the best. But Berger's not just idealistic, he's realistic - he tells exactly how this can be done, from the blackboard to the blacktop to the school boardroom.

CHAPTER XXVIII.Taxation by Bad Money.Since the two foregoing chapters on our monetary system were completed I have received John Henry Norman's book upon The World's Exchanges, published by Sampson Low, Marston, & Co., London. In this work simple rules are given for computing the relative value of all the coins of the world by the relative weight in grains of pure gold or pure silver in each coin. That is manifestly the only true method of determining their value, as the proportion of alloy in each coin varies in different countries. For instance, the gold dollar of the United States, which is the lawful unit of value, weighs twenty-five and eight-tenths grains (25), but it consists of nine parts of pure gold and one part of alloy; the coin is nine-tenths fine, it therefore contains twenty-three and twenty-two-hundredths grains (23) of pure gold. The English pound sterling is a name or definition of the weight of one hundred and thirteen grains and a very small fraction (113.0016) of pure gold. The coin named sovereign, which is the equivalent of the pound when of full weight, consists of 916.667 parts of gold and 83.333 parts of alloy, the coin being seven-eighths fine. The alloy in the coinage of other countries varies in some cases from either standard, therefore in order to ascertain the relative value of any coin the computation of the value for such comparison must be made by the relative weight of pure metal. The elements of weight and valuation are inseparable; there is no method of comparing value except by weight, and no act of any country can change or alter the value of a coin except by adding to or taking off a part of the pure metal. This computation I have tabulated from Norman's work, and the tables below have been carefully corrected by him. It would be well that the following tables should be officially verified by the officers of the United States Mint, or that corresponding tables should be given if the computations have already been made. I am not aware that any such tables exist.1 Gold coins named in Norman's work, with weight of pure gold in each stated in troy grains, and relative value as compared to the gold dollar of the United States:
Silver coins named in Norman's work, with weight of pure silver in each stated in troy grains, and relative value as compared to the silver dollar of the United States of 412½ grains nine-tenths fine, 371.2514 pure; also their relative value in gold at the present price of silver bullion.
"The above silver equivalents are found by dividing the grams of pure silver in each money of current in the large table of the Guide by 24.0567 grams."—J. H. N. In making these tables through the aid of Mr. Norman I was not aware that a similar valuation had been made by Mr. Edward O. Leech, Director of the Mint, which is to be found in Johnson's Encyclopædia, edition of 1888, Vol. II., pages 144-146, under the article "Coinage." From this table compiled by Mr. Leech, condensed tables have been prepared, which are given below, giving the value, as estimated by him, of the principal coins mentioned by Mr. Norman, in which some slight variations may be found from the previous tables, and some further valuations are added.
There are 480 grains in a troy ounce. There are 371.2514 grains of silver in a silver dollar. Therefore, in order that a silver dollar may be worth as much after it is melted as it purports to be worth in the coined dollar, the price of bullion in New York must be a fraction over $1.29 per ounce. Fine silver bars are now worth 88 to 90 cents per ounce. In other words, they are at a discount of thirty per cent., and the true value of the silver dollar at the present standard is substantially seventy cents; it has recently been worth less. The prices of all our principal products are now on a gold basis. We get one hundred cents' worth of gold or its equivalent for each dollar's worth of cotton, corn, wheat, pork, butter, or other goods that we export; our whole internal traffic is on the same basis and is measured at the same standard. The rates of wages and the incomes of all our people are now on a gold basis, liquidated in money worth one hundred cents on each dollar. The only effect of debasing our standard to silver worth seventy cents on a dollar will be to lower wages by destroying credit. The advocates of the free coinage of silver dollars of full legal tender have the audacity to say that an act for the free coinage of silver will bring the silver bullion and the silver coin of the world up to par in gold. They undertake to say that the United States can raise the value of silver from seventy cents, where it now is, to one hundred cents in gold, an advance of a fraction less than forty-three per cent. This claim only needs to be stated in order that its absurdity may be made conspicuous. The power of the United States to promote the circulation of silver certificates convertible into gold is already exhausted. Silver bullion is now uselessly piling up in the Treasury at the cost of the tax-payers of this country. The people of this country are now paying a tax in gold of $4,000,000 per month, or $48,000,000 a year, for the purchase of silver bullion that nobody wants to use as money either in coin or in certificates. When the legal-tender notes of the United States first depreciated, the depreciation being shown by what was called the premium on gold, gold vanished from circulation and was hoarded or exported on the very day the premium reached even one per cent. When the so-called premium on gold reached a little higher rate, so that our subsidiary silver coin became worth more than the paper currency, the whole of our silver coin vanished and was seen no more for many years. As we moved on in 1878 toward resumption on a gold basis, January 1, 1879, the silver coin first re-appeared and the gold next came back into the vaults of the Treasury and of the banks. No one could trace the silver and only a part of the gold in the statistics of the export and import of the precious metals. A difference of a fraction of one per cent. turns the tide of gold from one country to another. What would be the effect on silver when we offer to coin it at forty per cent. profit? Our gold coin can be converted into sovereigns at the rate of $4.8666 to one sovereign. The sovereign is the coin which corresponds to the pound sterling, the pound sterling is the standard of international commerce. If the free coinage of silver dollars of full legal tender were granted, any foreign banker could now purchase silver enough to make $4.86 for less than three dollars and a half in gold. This conversion would be at work at once. These dollars would then be paid out in this country as a full legal tender on all contracts for cotton, wheat, provisions, and other goods. Gold would be drawn out from the Treasury and from our banks to be shipped to England. The shock to credit would stop trade, except for daily necessities of life. The bankers who deal in exchange would make immense profits on the import and conversion of silver into dollars, and the stupid people would suffer the cost. People are slow, but not so stupid as they seem. This nefarious act cannot be done. The advocates of the free coinage of silver dollars of full legal tender at the present time are trying to induce the people of this country to offer one hundred cents' worth of gold, or of our cotton, grain, meats, provisions, oil, and other products now worth one hundred cents in gold at present prices, for the whole volume of silver coin or bullion in the world which is now worth but seventy cents in gold. This would give forty per cent. profit to the dealers in silver bullion. The figures which I have given prove this, and no man capable of reasoning can deny it. It is beyond the power of the silver Senators and Representatives to disprove this statement. The Republican Senators and Representatives of the silver-mining States now demand that the West and the South shall take seventy cents' worth of silver instead of one hundred cents' worth of gold for their cotton and their grain in order to enable the silver miners to sell their little petty product of silver for more than it is worth. The Democratic Senators of the South and West with few exceptions have nibbled at this bait, but the trap has not yet been sprung. The trick is exposed, and the masses of the people who would pay the terrible cost of this nefarious measure have warned their representatives that this fraud must not be put upon them. No coined money is true money and no coined standard can be a true standard or unit of value of which the bullion is not worth as much after it is melted as it purports to be worth in the coin. The silver dollar of the present standard is bad money; it is a false standard because it does not meet these conditions. Its coinage must cease and the purchase of silver bullion must be stopped. This verdict has been rendered, and either this or the next Congress will enforce the decision by suitable legislation. The Bland act and the McKinley act have been alike condemned,—neither has any intellectual standing nor any intelligent support. Both are marked alike by a perversion of the power of taxation to purposes of private gain in total disregard of the public welfare. [1 ] See tables compiled by Mr. E. O. Leech, Director of the Mint, on pages 236 and 237, which have been recently added. |

NEW YORK (AP) -- Barack Obama has a message for the readers of Vibe: "I need you."
In a letter to be published in the November issue, the Democratic presidential candidate is given a page to address the readers of the urban music monthly magazine. In it, Obama urges them to register to vote, saying, "We are at a defining moment in our history."
"I am running for president to take this country in a new direction. But I can't do it alone. I need you," the letter reads. "I need you to register to vote on November 4."

Jackson Browne Debuts Protest Tune at Occupy Wall Street on YouTube
Though he was born in Germany, Jackson Browne grew up in Los Angeles and would go on to be thoroughly identified with the Southern California sound that emerged in the mid- to late-'60s. A teenaged Browne took to crafting folk songs and gigging at local clubs.
By 1966, his talent and networking earned him a spot in the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. His stint was short, but his songs enjoyed a longer impact, making their way onto their first two albums. After landing a publishing deal, Browne got songs on other artists' albums, as well.
A move to New York City in 1967 found him living in Greenwich Village, backing Tim Buckley, and collaborating with Nico on Chelsea Girl. Browne crossed back to L.A. the following year, went back on the folk club circuit, and, eventually, got the Byrds and Linda Ronstadt to record his songs. Jackson's demo was worthy enough to get a deal with Asylum Records in 1971 with his self-titled debut emerging the following spring. "Doctor My Eyes" became Browne's first Top 10 hit and "Take It Easy" – which he co-authored with Glenn Frey for the Eagles – also became a smash. Other cuts from his album, like "Rock Me on the Water" and "Jamaica Say You Will," eventually became classics, as well....read entire original article

Drago | |
Gender | Male |
Personality | Lazy |
Species | Alligator |
Birthday | February 12th |
Star Sign | Aquarius |
Initial Phrase | "burrrn" |
Initial Clothes | Dragon Suit |
Picture Quote (New Leaf) | "There's no room for two dragons in one pond." |
Coffee | Kilimanjaro, a little bit of milk, 1 spoonful of sugar. |
Appearance(s) | Animal Crossing: New Leaf |
In other languages | Dragonio タツオ (Tatsuo) |
Drago (タツオ Tatsuo?) is a lazy alligator villager that first appears in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. His name may come from the word "dragon" as Drago resembles a dragon, though he is actually an alligator. This comes from his dragon-like appearance, his clothing featuring a dragon silhouette, his catchphrase "burrrn" (referencing the fire dragons are said to produce from their mouths) and his quote, "There's no room for two dragons in one pond."
Drago has several dragon-like characteristics, but he shares a base shape with the Alligator villagers. He is green, with a white underside, hands, and feet. He has fuchsia lips and scale marks all over his body. He possesses frilled flaps on either side of his face, as well as two large horns on his head.
As a lazy villager, Drago will be easy to get along with due to his laid-back lifestyle. Like all lazy villagers, he shares an interest in food and relaxing. He will enjoy partaking fishing and bug catching, and will get along well with other villager types such as the normal and peppy villagers. He may offend or confuse jock villagers, who have a conflicting lifestyle of exercise and fitness, who do not understand the reason behind the lazy lifestyle choice.
Drago's house has many objects from the Exotic Series, such as the bed, closet, end table, lamp, screen, and table. He has a goldfish, quince bonsai, lady palm, and a lazy-susan table. He has the imperial wall and floor, along with a turntable.
- Drago's name may come from the word "dragon."
- Drago may be inspired by Asian dragons; coincidentally, his home's interior uses a lot of items from the exotic series.

We still have left over special editions of cod5, people just didn't want those. I say you will most likely be fine, just call before midnight and ask if they got them in, sometimes games come a day later, usually they don't but it happens.

Making Friends in Today's World
I just read
this New York Times article
about the difficulties of making friends after 30. I am a proud 31 as of my last birthday and this is a very familiar problem for me. Sometimes I wonder if its "just me". Making friends started becoming difficult by my late 20's. I'm already pretty shy when it comes to new people and situations. I'm also a person who values a lot of "alone" time, but there is a fine line between that and actual loneliness... I experienced a very small window of time in my early 20s where I found myself a person who had lots of friends. Some of that time was exhilarating and some utterly exhausting. Ultimately though, I often miss the constant rush of creative energy you get when surrounded by like-minded people. I am now a person who has a very small circle of real true friends. I love those people very dearly and I wouldn't trade them for an army of casual friends, but I still wonder, why is it so difficult to expand that precious circle a bit?
I know it is true that as I've gotten older I no longer have the patience for trying to maintain friendships with people I feel I can never be close with. I used to be willing to put up with more drama, a touch more superficiality; but now I'm weary of it. I'm sure this is common for many, but I've experienced some pretty painful "break-up" with friends and betrayals of trust and love. It makes it harder and harder to start all over again.
I also used to develop more friendships with co-workers, but this has also becomes more difficult for some reason as I got older. The article I linked to above sites competition and financial status as contributing to this, but I'm not sure that's really the case for me. I have realized that in the past several years I have developed a very distinctive boundary between work-life and real-life. The work-me and the
-me. I'm not sure that I like that this has even happened, but when the two start to bleed into each other I find it very uncomfortable for some reason. At this point I don't even know how to change this.
I also think that being in your early 30's these days is almost as much of a transitional period as the early 20's were. Many people are waiting longer to get married and have children so there is often a big difference between many of us at this time. I've been in a committed long-term relationship for many years, but we have chosen not to marry just yet and the idea of babies is still several years off in the future. This can cause a HUGE divide with friends who have made different choices. If you aren't both able to adapt to the changes marriage and children bring to a friendship, its almost impossible for it to survive.
Today a huge part of our social interaction is on facebook, twitter, blogs, ect. Sometimes, if I'm sharing a story about someone I occasionally comment back and forth with on a blog, I will refer to that person as "sort of a blogging friend". How is it we even define "friend" anymore? Can we be good close friends with someone whom we have never seen face-to face, shaken hands with, or given a hug?
How have we become people with hundreds, if not thousands, of "followers" and social media "friends" but still have to join special organized meet-ups in order to find real human interaction? This is kind of crazy right? No matter what your age, I'm curious if you find it difficult to make friends these days too?

Summer Sunsets
Summer has arrived at last! My tomato plants are spilling out all over the deck and I am so excited to anticipate having more than I know what to do with. This weekend I have been tending my rooftop garden, reading, and all-together nearly living on my deck. It has been glorious...
The sunsets lately have also been spectacular and I read from our
local weather guru
that this may be due to wild fires in Asia. It's extraordinary to think that such far away smoke has traveled so long across the sea to paint our evening sky...
The most exciting piece of the weekend, however, has been planning a trip! We have decided to head to Scotland in September and I am so excited! Edinburgh is my favorite city in the world so far. It's been nearly a decade since I've been there and I can't wait to return with one of my Favorite People in the world!
I've been mentally composing posts in my head all week. I especially want to talk about summer reading! More on that soon...

...and Back Again
I have spent the last several weeks trying to mentally compose a "return post". I have spent way to much time thinking about it instead of writing a single word. I have a tendency to do this. I actually have to remind myself often, "Think less, DO MORE!"
And so, with far less ceremony than I
imagined: I am back. For a long time I dreamed of starting a new blog somewhere else; writing wildly in the freedom of anonymity.
But really- I missed you all! I missed the friendships and connections I have made here over the last few years. I hope you are still reading.
It is so tempting to constantly yearn for starting fresh and new, but there is also something to be said for being content with where you began. So maybe sometimes I think my blog name is silly, many of my posts overly bland and "bloggy". Sometimes I cringe when I re-read and count the times I use "lovely" and "wonderful", but... Sometimes you just have to commit to what you began and work on getting better, right? I have a tendency to quit things and venture off where I can start over. It's not always a bad thing, but in this case I'm sticking with the Gypsea Tree.
Maybe the blog will take a totally new direction. I'm really trying to write more, so maybe I will add some short stories now and then. Maybe I will get political on the occasion or write about things that I really want to say, but in past haven't out of fear of offending or alienating. In the end, I feel like my old approach wasn't as genuine as I would have liked...
Over all I'm aiming to be a little more wordy and generally more personally creative.
Here goes...
How have you all been???
I missed you!

New Adventures Await
And I'm off...
The last time I posted was before Christmas! That seems like ages ago...
For at least twice as long I have been contemplating my blogging future and more importantly my writing future. I have loved blogging here, getting to know many of you, discovering your own blogging corners, and simply sharing a love for all things gypsy.
However, after a lot of thought (and procrastination) I've decided it's definitely time for me to ramble on to new adventures. I'm officially journeying away from the Gypsea Tree, but the blog will remain here for now. Who knows? Maybe one of these days I will stop back here again...
One of my great goals for 2012 was to get serious about writing.
Really serious
I have long been planning a new blog in some new corner where I would publish some short stories. Maybe create a little online writing workshop community?
I don't plan on linking the new site here. I would like to keep it a little more anonymous for the time being, but if you are interested, please send me an email!
Thank you all for reading and leaving me so many kind and beautiful words over the years.
Happy happy year 2012. May all your dreams come true!
I hope you will keep in touch. I can still be found plenty of other places:

Arthur Rackham
I woke up this morning to find it's 23 degrees outside! (and not too much warmer in!) its sunny and frosty and frozen. A perfect Sunday morning for reflection, a warm cup of hot coffee, buttery toast, and knitting.
I have been working six days a week for the last several weeks, but this weekend I got to enjoy a true two days off. It has been incredibly wonderful!
I have been thinking a lot about sticking to personal boundaries and protecting my ideal work/life balance...
I also woke up thinking about the illustrator Authur Rackham. I always feel that he so flawlessly captured the essence of fairy tales; the beauty and the darkness. His art can be at once breathtaking and unsettling. As a child I would study them for a very long time, feeling lost inside then and somehow challenged by thier complexity. It's funny, but only today did I realize what a huge role trees play in almost every painting. Perhaps another cause of fascination...
I hope you are enjoying a peaceful Sunday as well, wherever you are reading from today.

Hi Liz
Glad to hear from you too! Hope that you and your family had a nice holiday. Mine was quiet. Dinner with family and fireworks. All of our family celebrations are kind of low key this year as we lost my dad in April and this is a hard year.
Janese is here and posting as well.
Gradually more of the old group has appeared and we have new members too. The most popular topic in this new world of groups is the Song Title Word Association because it is quick and easy to post to.. or that's what I think anyway. I am hoping for more discussion : )
Have you found it easier to get back and forth here?

Older restoration in good condition. 266 cubic inch V8, manual transmission. No frills, but an unusual, solid, clean old truck that"s ready to enjoy.
If you"re looking for a neat old pickup, one that can still spend Saturday morning at Home Depot and Sunday morning at a car show, this 1967 International Harvester should do the trick. It was given a frame-off restoration about 15 years ago, and while the intent wasn"t to create a show truck, they did manage to make on that"s pretty darned nice. The truck itself was impressively solid and doesn"t look like it was forced into hard labor for its working career. Both the cab and bed were removed from the frame and stripped to bare metal, then the finish was rebuilt from there. The original color was turquoise, but during the rebuild it got a coat of GM Alpine White, which is a little softer than plain old refrigerator white and looks fantastic on the old truck"s sheetmetal. The brightwork is minimal, but most of it is stainless, so it shines up easily and will look good practically forever, while the front bumper appears original and the rear bumper is fresh chrome diamond-plate.
Inside, it"s minimalist the way pickups were before we put them into service as luxury vehicles. The original bench seat was upholstered in green fabric, which works nicely with the off-white paint. Rubber mats on the floor keep it easy to maintain and ready to work in the dirt, and the controls are the same that you"ve been using for decades, right down to the 3-speed shifter on the floor. A full array of instruments look like vintage Stewart-Warner pieces with shiny metallic faces and pointers that are only a little faded, and they all work correctly. There"s also a powerful under-dash heater/defroster unit, but that"s about it for comfort and convenience frills.
The engine is International"s rugged and unique 266 cubic inch V8. Small enough to be thrifty but delivering the torque and power of eight cylinders, it"s a great choice. It was rebuilt during the restoration and runs superbly today, with a great V8 burble from the exhaust. The three-speed manual transmission shifts smoothly and the rear end is geared for hauling, not high speeds, but it"s happy on the highway at modern velocities. It"s quite clean underneath, with a black powdercoated frame and traces of the original turquoise paint still visible on the bottom of the bed, but there"s nothing to worry about as far as rust or damage. Black steel wheels with simple hubcaps are the right look, and they"re fitted with modern Firestone radials for load carrying comfort.
Trucks are incredibly popular right now, and this is an affordable, fun old hauler that will get a lot of second glances simply because it"s unusual. For fans of the International Harvester brand, this is the only way to get a job done.

I've never forgotten him. Dare I say I miss him? I do. I miss him. I still see him in my dreams. They are nightmares mostly, but nightmares tinged with love. Such is the strangeness of the human heart. I still cannot understand how he could abandon me so unceremoniously, without any sort of goodbye, without looking back even once. The pain is like an axe that chops my heart.
