KaliSara and RevKess talk community, winterizing your soul and home, and much more in this episode of Pagan-Musings.
Recently RevKess was a panelist at a University of Nebraska-Lincoln event. The topic was Men in Paganism. The panel was cosponsored by Men in Nebraska and Pagan Life, both student groups on the campus. He'll talk a little about that experience and share some of the insights that were brought up by the other panelists.
It is winter time! That means that we are facing the winter holidays as well as the cold and dark. Both uncomfortable situations for many people. In this episode KaliSara and RevKess will talk about winterizing your soul, body, home, and more. Its not just for your cars.
If time allows, the hosts may even talk about NaNoWriMo.
Actor Lauran De Winter
As a young boy, Lauran grew up in the Netherlands, outside of the little town oud-vossemeer, on a farm. He was a very active kid, always playing outside. And after a short dream of wanting to be a soccer player he decided to focus all his intention on becoming a professional cyclist. And he succeeded, he won various international races. Next to a lot of great memories, Lauran says the cycling gave him a lot of life lessons that are still very valuable to him. He learned determination, to believe in himself, strategy, teamwork, perseverance. To him, these are the most important characteristics you need as an actor. Lauran moved to Australia to work for Unicef and Amnesty International. He is very proud to say within a year he raised over 10 million dollars for charity. This same passion he put in cycling and charity is now fully focused on acting. He resides in Hollywood, California. Lauran has appeared on various TV-shows and movies such as, Spoken and the TV show The Chosen One . Lauran is even more excited about what's coming up. He is coming out in a couple of exciting movies next year, which we're gonna talk about in the show as well. One of them is Jake's Journey, where Lauran stars as a professional cyclist. Winter's End, a scary movie, where he will be playing a character from the 1940's, the lead and love interest in the movie.
Notice of Default is probably the first movie coming out, where Lauran will be a professional ice hockey player chasing his dream.

Author of Dark Fiction
Thanks for checking out my website. My newest novel is Cevin's Deadly Sin.
Who knew that a little pair of red lace panties could get him into so much trouble…
Cevin thinks that moving to a small Florida town is the worst thing that ever happened to him…until he falls for Tessa. She may be the one person who can accept his cross-dressing, but her brother Hunt's goal is to make Cevin's life a living hell. When Hunt "outs" him at school, Cevin has to figure out how to come to terms with his own identity in order to keep Tessa and quite possibly save his own life.

Review of THEN AND ALWAYS by Dani Atkins
I continue my exploration of alternate realities in young adult fiction with my review of Then and Always by Dani Atkins. It's an addictive read that keeps you guessing about what's real and what isn't. But then that's my favorite kind of fiction.

Jobsite's RETURN TO FORBIDDEN PLANET is a Campy Riot
A mash-up of 1950's sci-fi, 1960's pop songs and Shakespeare's The Tempest, Return to Forbidden Planet is an entertaining romp from its first moment to its last. This was one of the most fun nights in the theater I've spent since Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
Loosely based on The Tempest, the plot unfolds as Captain Tempest (Jonathan Harrison), Science Officer Gloira (Heather Krueger) and crew become locked in a tractor beam from planet D'Illyria. This planet is inhabited by a sinister scientist, Dr. Prospero (Owen Robertson); his delightful daughter Miranda (Amy E. Gray); Ariel a faithful robot on roller skates (Jaime Gaingrande-Holcom); and an uncontrollable monster, the product of Prospero's Id. And wackiness ensues.
The hugely talented cast and musicians rocked the Jaeb Theater. Actor, Spencer Meyers (who played Hedwig in the Jobsite Production) stole the show as Cookie, the comedic sidekick. His rendition of "She's Not There" was a delight; Heather Krueger's strong voice really stood out; and Jonathan Harrison did a fine job as the Captain. The final "Born to Be Wild" and "Monster Mash" roused the audience with a well-deserved standing ovation.
Director David Jenkins has really outdone himself with this one. Return to Forbidden Planet is a definite go-see.

Cover Reveal for Al Wendland's Novel, The Man Who Loved Alien Landscapes
What could draw poet, explorer, loner and paranoid Mykol Ranglen away from the relative peace of his own ring-in-space habitat?He has no choice in the matter as one by one acquaintances are murdered or disappear altogether. Propelled by ever changing and deepening mysteries Mykol embarks to uncover secrets which could make people rich beyond their wildest dreams…or tear apart human civilization.
The escalating quest takes him through worlds of many dangerous extremes, leading him to confront the deadly alien Fist of Thorns, extinct species refusing to give up their power over the future, and those racing against him to uncover the secret first. But in the course of his pursuit, he must also face his own secrets. And some of these are even more dangerous.
The Man Who Loved Alien Landscapes by Albert Wendland
Cover Art by Bradley Sharp
Foreword by William H. Keith
Space Opera Paperback coming from Dog Star Books in June 2014
What They're Saying About The Man Who Loved Alien Landscapes
"Mystery, heart-pounding adventure, and the dazzling wonders of far-flung space play significant roles in Wendland's breakout novel, all while gifting us with a mesmerizing tour of alien landscapes destined to get under your skin and remind you of the very reason science fiction exists: Not to escape to other worlds, but to find ourselves within them."
–Diana Dru Botsford, author of THE DRIFT and FOUR DRAGONS
Inside are alien worlds and titanic space habitats and a brilliant and paranoid hero, all skillfully blended together with long-vanished galactic secrets. Science fiction… good science fiction, by a college professor of literature who loves good SF."
–From the foreword by William H. Keith, New York Times Bestselling Science Fiction Author
Marketing Tip #1: Deconstruct the Marketing Approach of a Similar Novel
This blog post will be the first in a series of marketing tips for writers. In promoting my book, Cevin's Deadly Sin, I wanted to hone in on what works in our digital age for reaching the widest audience. Out with the book signings where you might reach a couple of people. In with trying to get reviewed by an online journal that has the potential to reach thousands of people.
First of all, we're no longer "marketing," we're finding our target audience and providing content that interests those people. It's the idea of providing value and building a community, rather than hard-selling your book.
Marketing Tip #1: Deconstruct the Marketing Approach of a Similar Novel:
Choose a book that is similar to yours and do a search to see how the publisher marketed the book. First of all, choose a successful, well-known book, then take a look at the following:
- Who reviewed this book? Send review requests to those reviewers. "Since you enjoyed X book, I thought you might like to read and review mine." Don't ignore the power of the book bloggers. They have helped to boost the careers of many indie authors.
- Where do interviews for the book's author appear? Send interview requests to those sites.
- Did the author write any blog posts? Generate a list of possible topics and send a relevant one to that blog. Blogs and journals are always looking for content.
- Do a search for articles about books that share your target audience. Write to the article's author and ask her if she'd be interested in reading your book. This has worked very well for me and actually generated some recommendations for other reviews.
- Make note of web pages that appeal to your target audience and interact with them by offering to write articles, join chat groups, etc.
- Keep a simple spreadsheet of your contacts. That's the only way of keeping it all straight.
These steps seem simple, yet they accomplish a wonderful goal—finding your target audience. I've found that by performing these steps, I'm connecting with people who want to read what I've written. And I'm building a base of readers for my future books.
Do you have any marketing tips you'd like to share?
Happy Promo-ing!
Book Review: Platform-Get Noticed in a Noisy World, by Michael Hyatt
Platform-Get Noticed in a Noisy World, by Michael Hyatt is a really excellent book about developing your platform, and though it's not specifically geared toward writers, I found that there were a lot of ideas I could use for my writing.
For example, he has an interesting take on writing blog posts. Use a blog post template, with the following elements: Lead paragraph, Relevant image, Personal experience, Main body, and end with a Discussion question in order to encourage responses.
He recommends making video interviews of other authors and post them to your blog. Send the interview ahead of time, and record the interview through Skype.
Post your own videos in which you speak about various aspects of writing or of your books.
Create a public speaking tab on your website:
- Have a "check my availability" button. This is less presumptuous than a "book me" button.
- Post a one-minute welcome video.
- Did you know that there is iPad teleprompter software? It is HDi Pro2.
- Include a photo of yourself speaking
Hyatt tells us to Kiss Marketing Goodbye. Marketing is dead. Tribe-building is the new marketing. It's about participating in a dialogue with fellow travelers and building relationships.
- Discover your passion.
- Volunteer to lead.
- Be generous. When you lead by serving and giving, people follow.
- Provide a way to communicate.
Write informative guest posts on other people's blogs.
Offer to give away a free e-book in exchange for people signing your mailing list.
He emphasizes the importance of using Twitter to build your brand. Some useful tips are:
- Customize your Twitter page with your photo, info about you and a link to your blog or web page.
- Comment on and re-tweet other people's posts.
- Keep your posts short enough to re-tweet.
- Post often, but don't over-promote. Offer interesting content to your readers
Become an Amazon Associate and use an affiliate code in links to your own books. This generates extra income every time someone buys one of your books through your link.
Hyatt offered some ideas for novelists, such as:
- Post excerpts from your novels.
- Backstory your novel: why you wrote it, how did you settle on the story, did you do any research.
- Behind the scenes look at what the life of a novelist is like.
- Write "directors notes" for your book: why you chose to start with a particular scene, did you have to delete or add scenes to improve the story
- Interview your editor: Ask your editor what her day-to-day job is like, what's it like to work with writers, get stories about best and worst experiences, what prompted her to get into the business
Hyatt has many more ideas and recommendations that are applicable to writers. This book is a great read for anyone interested in developing and building a platform, and I'd highly recommend it.
Cevin's Deadly Sin is Live Today!
Writing Cevin's Deadly Sin has been a wild ride for me. Literally six years in the making, seeing the culmination of my work published is a huge thrill for me. First, this is a departure for me, before I've always written horror and paranormal. For this project that didn't fit. At first I toyed with the idea of having a cross-dresser vampire or cross-dresser werecat, then I decided, no. This story needs to be told in a realistic fashion.
Cevin's Deadly Sin is the story of a closeted hetero teen cross-dresser. In most ways he's a normal kid, yet has that one difference he has to hide. It makes him feel that no one will accept him for his true self. It's the story of feeling like an outsider, and who hasn't felt that way at one time or another?
This was my thesis novel for an MFA in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University. I struggled with the plot tremendously and ended up scrapping and rewriting the entire book after graduation. Then once I had it finished, it was difficult finding a publisher. Publishers told me they liked it, but they didn't know how to market it. Cevin is hetero so he didn't fit into the LGBT category, strictly speaking. He doesn't want to have surgery to become a woman, so he doesn't fall into the transgender category.
My present publisher, Queer Teen Press, is a little more broad in its content, so they seemed like a good fit to me. I was so happy when they accepted it for publication.
Why did I write this book? I'm fascinated with gender. How much of it is inherent and how much is from upbringing? Why do people in our culture react so violently against someone who defies gender?
I have cross-dresser friends, and I've interviewed a lot of cross-dressers, and I know that they had no support groups they could access during their school years. I'm writing Cevin to help them out—to bring awareness to the public about cross-dressing and help CD kids to realize that they're not alone.
Also, how do we treat those who are different in some way? Tessa is totally taken with Cevin, but when he tries to tell her about how he's different, she doesn't want to listen. She becomes afraid and pulls away from him.
In many ways, this is a universal story. Has there ever been a time when you felt like an outsider?

The Cellar Door Anthology and My Fascination with Weird Architecture
I'm just realizing that I've never written a post about the "Cellar Door Anthology" in which one of my stories is published. Edited by Shawna L. Bernard, the book is a compilation of tales of beauty and terror about what may lie beyond the cellar door.
I have a fascination with weird architecture that started when I read The House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski, and it grew when I read the stories of H.P. Lovecraft.
I wanted to write something involving weird architecture for this anthology. My result was my short story, "What Grows In Between."
My inspiration for this story came from doing research on the Dupli House, which is located in Marbach, Germany. It was in disrepair and had to be torn down. Here's a photo of the original house.
The architectural firm of J. Mayer Arquitectos took on the task of building a new modern house in the footprint of the old house. Actually, they came up with a new footprint by duplication and rotation of the out line of the old house:
The result is breathtaking:
I thought, what if the spirit of the old house wanted to come through the framework of the new. That idea gave birth to my story, "What Grows In Between."
Here's the synopsis: Emily and Daniel have ditched high-powered jobs for a more low-key life. Though Daniel actually prefers more traditional architecture, Emily falls in love with an ultra-modern house that is situated out in the woods in Massachusetts. They've been waiting all their lives for this. He's going to start painting and she's going to do freelance architecture from home. That was the plan, but when the house grows an old-style cellar door, they start to realize that it has motives of its own.
The following is an excerpt from a review written by Dr. Robert Curran, psychologist and author of several works on folklore and the paranormal:
"There are some places in my mind where I seldom go. They are rooms of imagination, impression and memory that are often better left undisturbed because they are full of old fears and terrors which still have the power to grip me. They are better off left to moulder behind locked doors. This anthology tells me that I'm not alone in this respect.
"There are too many stories and poems within this anthology to review comprehensively–and I'm not going to try–but each one reflects the horror of some dark world, lying around the foot of the descending cellar steps or up in that shuttered attic. And they are brilliantly illustrated in paintings and drawings which are evocative of each tale.
"This is definitely a book for the winter, when the nights are dark and the wind makes strange houses through the house. It is a book to be savoured and shuddered at. It will take you to places in your mind where you really shouldn't go."

You've just submitted a form. The process is going to be longer than… instantaneous.
Ever find yourself clicking more that once? The lazy programmer's/designer's way of dealing with that is to tell you not to click more than once. How well do you follow instructions?
They could have done a quick search to gray out the submit button [1]. Once they're done with this, you can talk to them about using the word 'submit' on the button [2].
Isn't this better? Have any other examples you could share?

On my 120GB HDD, I have what seems to be TWO partitions currently. #1 is about 2 GB, #2 is 118 GB. So, does this mean most of my disk space is used up?

A Little About Me
I was born in Izmir in 1988. During my childhood and secondary education, i took dance and theater lessons. After finishing secondary education, went to a vocational high school with 4th degree and studied Graphic Design and Photography. By the way, at the same time while acting and writing, i started to interest in music and playing drums. Personally although continued these activities, my target was to enter 9 Eylül University Fine Arts Faculty Graphic Design Department. So i was prepared and accepted to Picture Department but due to some personal reasons, i couldn't catch up on registration procedures. So then i went to Ege University EMYO Design and Printing-Publishing Department with transfer. Shortly after, i've realized that i was in the wrong place and directed my attention and abilities to music and subculture. In the first period of the second year in school, i dropped out Ege University and started to study again. While i was prepared, i've gained some experience in some advertising agencies and started to work by freelance.
I wanted to leave from Izmir, so i prefered another cities. After winning 9 Eylül University but couldn't make it, i felt a little weak and couldn't fasten my goal but regardless, i went to Bozüyük MYO which school just passed from Anadolu University to Bilecik University and studied Graphic Design and i did the best out of these two years: I joined some Graphic Design and Photography Contests and some exhibitions in my school, continued to write and sent articles with illustrations to Karakalem Magazine which Altay Öktem is one of the founders of. After i graduated with 1st degree in 2010, stayed in Izmir shortly and continued to write and work but beaceuse of my unsatisfied mood in the meaning of bussiness, i moved to Eskişehir which another city that i love so much. In there, after some research i got an opportunity to study abroad and applied for Graphic Design at Vancouver Island University Bachelor of Arts, Majors and Minors in Canada. Growing much faster than i had anticipated as a result of this event was positive but due to my health problems that complicate my everyday life, i had to go back to Izmir and after recovery, started to work weighted photography. I saw that the most of agencies are insensitive about professional ethics and i decided to work freelance. So still i'm working by freelance at kind of Graphic Design, Development, Photography, Experimental Cinematography - Music fields. I also continue to play drums and writing.

Two chemicals considered harmful to babies remain in Johnson & Johnson's baby shampoo sold in the U.S. and some other countries, even though the company already makes versions without them, according to an international coalition of health and environmental groups.
Now the coalition is urging consumers to boycott Johnson & Johnson baby products until the company agrees to remove the chemicals from its baby products sold around the world.

This ring is lovely, the reason I am returning it is that I didn't realize that the pink sapphire was man made. I had been looking at a couple of rings with pink sapphire stones , those stones were real pink sapphires.The man made pink sapphires have a brighter color which don't really look real to me. But that being said the ring is quite lovely, well made, has a lot of sparkle and the stone at 6mm is just the right size.For the price it's an excellent purchase.
I am wearing the white sapphire ring as my engagement ring. It has a very nice simple, classic design and the sapphires have a lovely sparkle. It seems to be good quality so far. You would have to pay at least ten times more for a similar diamond ring (money I personally prefer to put aside for a mortgage). The main difference is that the sapphires have a white sparkle, rather than the fire of a diamond, which doesn't bother me one bit. I also think there's something romantic about a sapphire, even a manufactured one, compared to other diamond alternatives like CZ. My only critique is that the pave diamonds on the sides of the ring are rather microscopic and dull. They do twinkle in the light, but don't expect too much in that regard.
I really like the ring. I got it for a gift to my niece and is a very nice gift for her quinceanera.
This is a beautiful ring. I choose the white topaz, which looks like a diamond. The stones are clean and sprakley. The band is sturdy and comfortable. I would recomend this ring.

So much more than a meal
From left, Meals on Wheels driver Eric Boggis delivers lunch to Theresa of Nashua, while Mayor Donnalee Lozeau joins him for some of his deliveries on Thursday. (KIMBERLY HOUGHTON/Union Leader Correspondent)
On Thursday, several city officials traveled throughout Nashua helping drivers of the St. Joseph Community Services' Meals on Wheels program deliver lunches to hundreds of home-bound senior citizens.
"This is a new experience for me. I haven't done much to help out with local nonprofit groups, so I am taking some personal time from work to assist for a few hours," said Alderman Dan Moriarty, who was joined by other city officials including Deputy Police Chief Scott Howe, Alderman Mark Cookson, Alderman Barbara Pressly and Mayor Donnalee Lozeau.
Each year, the city appropriates about $35,000 to help fund the community service program, which prepares and delivers about 400 meals a day from the Nashua Senior Activity Center. There are 17 delivery routes throughout Nashua, Hudson, Pelham, Hollis and Litchfield, with some drivers delivering meals to about 40 clients.
"For me, this is a blessing because my income is limited," said Willy, a Nashua resident who has received Meals on Wheels services for about five years. "It definitely makes a big difference in my health. I lost one leg, and my eyesight is not good, but these people are awesome. We have a real connection."
Willy, whose last name is being withheld to respect client privacy, had the privilege of meeting the mayor on Thursday, who surprised Willy when she delivered him his turkey pot pie, sweet potatoes and cake.
Lozeau couldn't leave without first learning Willy's private handshake, which he described as the Puerto Rican salute.
"This is a very critical service," Lozeau said while delivering the meals. "I think it is important for the volunteers and staff to know that we value their work, and that we are here to support them."
Meals on Wheels is more than just a meal delivery service, according to Steve Ayotte, regional site manager, who said it provides a daily safety check for elderly and disabled individuals who may not have contact with anyone else throughout the day.
Theresa, 82, is another Meals on Wheels client who can't say enough about Eric Boggis, the driver who frequently delivers her lunches.
He goes above and beyond his duties, according to Theresa, who says it is so nice to have a friendly face visiting her throughout the week. And while it isn't necessary, Theresa goes out of her way to offer a weekly donation for her meals. Boggis has been delivering meals for about five years, and described the work as "the best job I've ever had."
Clients are incredibly appreciative, always welcoming and usually eager for a quick chat.
"I often feel bad that I can't stay longer. It breaks my heart," said Boggis.
For Cookson, Thursday's volunteer efforts were giving back to an organization that previously helped his grandfather before he passed away.
"Our family received these services in the past, so I feel it is important to learn what this program is all about," said Cookson.
In Hillsborough County, about 1,350 meals are served each day through the Meals on Wheels organization. Hundreds of volunteers help prepare the daily meals, making the process virtually seamless, said Meghan Brady, president of St. Joseph Community Services' Meals on Wheels program.
"I think it is important to recognize the need that is quietly met each day," said Brady, explaining the motivation behind Thursday's Mayors for Meals Day event.
This is the first time the organization invited other elected officials - aside from mayors - to participate in the event, and Brady said she was pleased with the turnout.

text: Infidelis 5pts The Alfa Romeo 4C was designed to compete against the Porsche Cayman, which has walked away with the "affordable" European two-seat sports car market segment. The problem for FIAT is that the Alfa faces some substantial barriers to entry into this segment:The 4C is far too stripped down to be considered both a track car and a daily driver. The Cayman, on the other hand, fits this bill nicely.The 4C isn't hard core enough to actually outperform the Cayman on the track. The Cayman S, and especially the new GTS, are more capable weekend circuit cars. And the forthcoming GT4 will absolutely smoke the 4C without a major upgrade for the Alfa.The 4C is going to be sold through Ferrari-Maserati or Maserati-only dealerships. That translates into a very limited dealer network and dismal customer service (written from personal experience with the brands.)

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
HIS 4870 1GB - Dual Monitor Setup?
I'm setting up Dual Monitors on my HIS Radeon 4870 1GB GPU. This GPU has 1 x VGA and 1 x DVI output. I have two identical ASUS VW222u monitors. I have installed the latest ATI Catalyst Suite and drivers for this GPU and have Windows 7 up and running with BOTH monitors.
My issue, however, is my primary monitor (DVI output) is running at my ideal resolution of 1680 x 1050, but my second monitor (VGA output) can not run at this resolution. It is only allowing me to choose from a small specific number of resolutions, and 1680 x 1050 is not included (closest is 1600 x 1200, IIRC).
The ATI Catalyst Control Centre is telling me the primary monitor is my ASUS VW222u (Digital), which is correct, but my 2nd monitor is only described as a "Generic Non-PnP CRT Monitor", despite installing the correct monitor drivers etc.
Is this because I am running this second monitor of the VGA output? Will that cause my monitor to not be able to produce my desired 1680 x 1050 resolution? And will running it off the VGA output mean It thinks its a CRT?
EDIT: Had no problems with this on XP, only since upgrading to Windows 7
|My System Specs
|27 Oct 2009

Your assumption about the VGA to DVI is probably correct. You could check that your second monitor is set to run at 60 Hz for refresh rate. If not, set it so.

"Ahh, I remember the 90s," Gwen Stefani thought.
"Of course, they're hard to forget when you're married to them. Er, I mean, wearing them. Freudian slip."

"Ahh, I remember the 90s," Gwen Stefani thought.
"Of course, they're hard to forget when you're married to them. Er, I mean, wearing them. Freudian slip."
[Photo: Splash]
I suspect is one of those outfits where, if Shenae Grimes was wearing it, I would LET HER HAVE IT. (Sorry, Shenae.)
But Gwen is one of those people who gets away with things other people can't get away with. Often. In general. On occasion. Not necessarily here? From the neck up, I am SOLD. From the neck down, I am…Sale Pending?
As always, I love looking at the expressions of the background people in this picture:
Grey Pants is all, "…huh." Blazer Dude is all, "NO." And Grey Dress is all, "well, what the hell? It's Gwen Stefani. Facebook needs to know this."
This is what Gwen wore to close L.A.M.B on Thursday night — the night Matt Damon ditched us, although I felt close to him once more after I watched The Informant on the plane home, and then caught up on 30 Rock this weekend, which I think might have featured the greatest performance of his career to date — and when she came down the runway, it actually looked like a dress, and I quite liked it. Now that I know it's pants, I feel a bit more conflicted. On the other hand, there's something about it that's sari-inspired (right? Or wait, no — saris don't have pants, do they? You know what I mean, right? Someone please help me remember what I mean in the comments) and that I do enjoy. God, I'm so confused — I clearly have not fully recovered from a Fashion Week in which one day brought us both Aubrey O'Day AND Salman Rushdie.
[Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]
Sheesh. Every time I think we're FINALLY DONE with the Met Ball, another picture pops up that I forgot we didn't already cover.
There is something endearing about the fact that Gwen Stefani has an item of clothing she loves so much, she keeps wearing it no matter how many years ago she first clutched it to her red-lipsticked bosom and begged it not to ruin the moment with a lot of talk.

text: Oi, On November 6th North Harris Montgomery College is having "Culture Day." They are setting up boothes for everyone to display their cultures. If we are interested in doing a demo for recruitmnent I can get us the prime location. There are a few bands playing that day and some restaurants are going to serve food. Perhaps Ravens Fort would be interested in teaming up as well. There are many students from 1960 up to Huntsville there. So it would be great for both. We should have access to a TV and video as well, if we can put together a video of SCA footage (Gulf Wars, arts, court, etc...). I will not have much time to participate but I can get us an excellent oppurtunity for a demo.

Nature provides the views, we provide the details.
Dropping 3,212 feet from the top of the Auyán-Tepuí plateau (or "Devil's Mountain" in English), Angel Falls is the tallest waterfall in the world. Located in Venezuela's Canaima National Park, Angel Falls is named after the adventurous American pilot Jimmy Angel who emergency landed his airplane there in 1937. The plane remained there for 33 years, and although the original is now in an aviation museum, Angel Falls' visitors can still find a replica plane placed on top of the plateau today.
As one of Iceland's most impressive waterfalls, horseshoe-shaped Godafoss features water rushing down a cliff measuring 40 feet high and 100 feet wide. Godafoss, meaning Waterfall of the Gods, got its name in the year 1000 when Iceland was converting from pagan religious beliefs to Christianity. The story goes that Iceland's chieftain at the time, Thorgeir, threw statues of the heathen gods into the waterfall, symbolizing the switch to Christianity and giving the falls their name.
Nestled in Austria's Hohe Tauern National Park, Krimml Waterfall is the tallest waterfall in Central Europe, reaching a height of 380 meters. The water originates at Krimmlr Ache, a glacial creek that serves as the source of the falls, and plummets over three tiers of rock formations. A one and a half hour hike up the falls brings you to Bergerblick, the highest point that offers the most spectacular views of the falls below.
The Dietian Falls can be found cascading 75 meters over the Guichun River on the border of China and Vietnam. Depending on the time of year, the amount of water traveling down the waterfall will range from a full-speed rush in the humid months of June and July to a more gentle splash in the drier seasons. To complement the peaceful surroundings of rice paddies and rock formations, a tiny Buddhist shrine sits atop the falls.
Although the majority of the Iguazu Falls are located in Argentina, many say you can find a better overall view from the Brazilian side. They can be accessed through any of the three cities in the tri-border area between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Iguazu Falls are taller and twice as wide as Niagara Falls and it has been said that when Eleanor Roosevelt saw these falls for the first time she exclaimed, "Poor Niagara!"
Niagara Falls State Park, designed by famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, is the oldest state park in the U.S., established in 1885. Niagara Falls is sourced by the Niagara River which is supplied by water from Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron and Lake Erie, four of the five Great Lakes, allowing 3,160 tons of water to flow over Niagara Falls each second. The iconic falls were first seen and described in 1678 by Father Louis Hennepin on an exploring expedition in the Niagara region.
The Plitvice Lakes National Park is world-famous for its series of 16 interconnected, breathtaking lakes, caves, and waterfalls. The park features two main waterfalls: the Large Waterfall at the end of the lower lakes, and the Galovac Waterfall at the end of the upper lakes. But what makes this park so unique and beautiful are the formations of many smaller waterfalls that flow throughout the series of lakes through naturally created mossy cascades.
Koosah Falls are one of three major waterfalls along the McKenzie River in Oregon. Although there has been some dispute over the true height of the waterfall, with measurements ranging from 54 to 120 feet, the true height is said to be around 64 feet. The appearance of Koosah Falls changes dramatically from season to season, in the summer it appears as being two separate segments, but during the height of snow melting in the winter, water spreads seamlessly across the 70 foot wide ledge.

Texans love their independence - and their guns.Now state Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, proposes giving Texans a little more of both.Leach has filed the "Texas Gun Ownership Reinforcement Act," a bill to create a new tax-free holiday where consumers won't be charged taxes on guns, ammunition or hunting supplies one day out of the year:Texas Independence Day, March 2."Texas must take the lead in the fight against the federal government's attempts to infringe on our Second Amendment Rights," Leach said, adding that this bill gives "law-abiding citizens, hunters and sportsmen the opportunity to save money on firearm and hunting equipment, benefiting Texas taxpayers and small business owners and spurring economic growth."As we fight against the federal government's overreach, there is no more appropriate day to instate this tax-free holiday than on Texas Independence Day."Marsha McCartney said this bill is a bad idea."I sometimes wonder if they just sit around late at night and try to think of some crazy bill when they have such important work to do," said McCartney, a spokeswoman for the Texas chapter of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. "Maybe someone said, 'Hey, Texas has so much money, let's give these people a tax break.'"Leach's proposal comes as members of Congress are working to address President Obama's call for the country's most aggressive gun control initiative in decades. The plan, developed in the wake of the mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school in December, includes requiring background checks on all gun purchases, banning assault weapons and limiting ammunition magazines to 10 rounds.Leach's bill - which has drawn several co-authors, including Republican state Reps. Phil King of Weatherford and Jonathan Stickland of Bedford - draws a definite contrast between Congress and the Texas Legislature."The bill will certainly accomplish its principal goal, highlighting Rep. Leach's status as a strong supporter of second amendment rights at a time when President Obama and congressional Democrats enact additional gun control legislation at the federal level," said Mark P. Jones, a political science professor at Rice University in Houston.Leach's bill would make certain items exempt from taxes on March 2, including shotguns, rifles, pistols, revolvers, handguns, gun cleaning supplies, gun cases, gun safes, ammunition, archery equipment, hunting stands, blinds and decoys.Other states have similar programs in place.Louisiana, for instance, has had a Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday weekend in September each year since 2010 that exempts firearms and related items from sales taxes. That weekend costs the Pelican State around $600,000 a year, estimates show."Many hunters and other gun-owners along with owners of businesses which cater to these individuals are sure to appreciate the legislation, even if its chances of passage are remote," Jones said. "Holding the tax-free holiday on Texas Independence Day underscores the linkage between second amendment rights and the ability of citizens to protect themselves from tyranny."A symbolic measure?Jones said he doesn't believe the bill, which he describes as "symbolic," has much chance of passing, especially at a time when state lawmakers are trying to stretch every penny as far as they can."What better way to express Texas' stand for constitutional principles than to recognize Texas Independence Day as a tax free holiday for the very tools of self-defense the Constitution guarantees us," said King, one of the co-authors.The bill, which has been referred to the House Ways and Means Committee, has drawn support from the National Rifle Association."Rep. Leach's House Bill 1533 supports lawful gun ownership and encourages Texas sportsmen to spend their money here at home," said Tara Mica, state liaison for the NRA Institute for Legislative Action. "While bolstering our Texas economy, this common-sense legislation goes a long way toward promoting our Second Amendment freedoms."McCartney, with the Brady Campaign, said hundreds of people die each year in gun homicides."Perhaps they should worry about how to make our community safer, rather than how to sell more guns for the gun lobby," she said. "This is one of those silly bills that gets a lot of attention."Allan Saxe, an associate political science professor at the University of Texas in Arlington, believes the bill might survive."The bill may have a chance to pass, but some revenue, of course, would be lost," he said. "The message the bill sends is 'We are a gun state and aim to stay that way.'"Frankly, this bill is as good as the tax holiday for school supplies," Saxe said. "But it could open up a lot of other legislation favoring various interests."Anna M. Tinsley, (817) 390-7610Twitter: @annatinsley

An intergalactic somersault for absolution
These days,
when black bodies are butchered because- why?
when daftly diverging deities demand beheadings, and
when only those with the more gluttonous genitals are granted the word 'genius',
These days,
Life shows no sign of the apocalypse we know must be coming.
A world so weighed down by gargantuan pain and gaudy pleasures,
so tarnished by its own ineptitude, by the wounds of battles it avoided, by its useless charades.
Surely, this world will break the snare?
defy gravity?
shoot far, far away, catapulted by a slingshot across the universe to make amends?
An intergalactic somersault for absolution.
But here we are.
The ground stained by the blood of butchered bodies, severed heads, humans cast aside.
No catapults or black holes to save us.
Not a shadow of the gloriously dangerous cloud of a nuclear bomb, nor its promised oblivion.
No, in the midst of its deepest, maddening moments,
the world does not stir.
If my body had to do all the talking,
the twist of my wrist, the curves of my lips and those of my hips,
would I be able to say all the things that resist being formed into words?
Would a pirouette convey the state of my heart better,
than all those shy sentences which -invariably- I never end.
Could a sharp tap with my toes finally render words obsolete?
Of mice and men
A cleverly crafted calculation,
offered to me as a generous gift.
Your hands stretched out, your face relieved as though after long laborious hours,
working on an impossible equation.
A problem can't be solved by putting it in an envelope,
the shakily licked stamp curls up, demanding action; satisfaction.
do not be surprised to see the orange colored ink running, leaving words halved, amputated in mid-thought.
Thousands of thoughts cut off at the waist. A sea of feelings desperately, feebly swimming to shore.
What's in half a word?
Statistical analysis and aggregation are your weapons of choice,
Taking to my orange mess as a scientist, eager to discover the root cause of an enigmatic disease.
Correlation, Causality? Choose capriciously.
I used to say that I write emotional algebra.
So why am I surprised to be treated like a mathematical problem?
objects in the mirror are closer than they appear
There's your name.
Attentively I observe each letter forming you out of strange shapes.
By now, the signifier has become confused with the signified.
Saussure would not approve. Signs are not supposed to cross over.
There are rules, you know, in semiology. Taxonomy, hierarchy, structure.
It is an analogy, not a metaphor.
Metaphors are not to be trifled with. A single metaphor can give birth to love.
I always knew that it was dangerous. The way we spoke of nothing and of everything.
Disguising heavy significance as unbearable lightness, and trivia as philosophical problems.
Was language really given us to enable us to conceal our thoughts?
There is something I want to say, but I've forgotten how to talk other than in cryptography.
No longer capable of speaking unmetaphorically, unequivocally, unintentionally.
If I force us down to earth, will we fall into mediocrity?
Or will we thrawl the streets like two strangers together in exile,
looking for hidden meaning in the excruciatingly mundane?
Don't run away, it's only life.
Male improvisation
You had this idea,
that you are more broken than me,
that your breaking point is more precious than mine, somehow.
Recounting your thoughts, convincing yourself they are larger than life.
these emotions that cannot find peace within the boundaries of you,
you are just barely containing your words,
encircling me, disregarding proportionality and propriety.
I am the mirror at the end of a corridor,
a ghost playing along with your capricious guessing game.
What destroyed you? What cures your pain?
Why are you here in the middle of the night without explanation?
Don't break the spell, you said.
Don't break, I thought, holding my breath for you. For you?
It was a rehearsal, of course.
It was a mutual dress-up, with lines in a foreign language.
Your dark words made everything beautiful.
Even the imbalances between us.
I would have sensed your silent desperation.
Hesitation, exclamation, deprivation. In English.
Linguistic naïvité.
The persuasive verses
My mind- a prison; a straightjacket,
a tightrope stretched between us,
slackening- tightening, slackening- tightening; ripping...-
More than 18 floors down we go,
like the beginning of a Salman Rushdie novel
falling through imaginary centuries of historical bantering.
Would we be like Gibreel and Saladin,
hopelessly trying to shout louder one than the other,
not realizing we're saying the same thing?
Would it turn us into fallen angels or opportunist devils?
Can we land on our feet without destroying everything?
Can we break the rules and be redeemed?
Will I ever reveal what I value, and risk it.
Risk it all.
To walk this tightrope?
A Dreamcatcher's Manifesto
Some of us are dreamers.
Living in many spaces; the past, the future, in parallel worlds, on imaginary planets, all at once.
Some of you tell us that we need to put our feet on the ground.
That life is about being present (you sometimes use this as a pun ).
About seizing the moment, living in the now.
But what if nostalgia is not about living in the past.
What if it's simply marvel at our memory.
At our capability to perfectly reconstruct a single moment in time.
And if we weren't present, how could we possibly remember nows, even years after the present became past?
We carry them all with us because we scooped them up, saved them
bottled them up for a rainy day that keeps on coming.
And what if imagining another world is not escapism, but creation.
What if it's an exercise in what-if? instead of merely reacting to the one scenario offered by your Reality.
How does anything, anybody, evolve without rejecting what is?
Without choosing what we dream over what we see, nothing ever changes.
We think new worlds because that is how the limits of life expand and become elastic.
You should try it.
So, indulge in your nostalgia.
Immerse yourself in the bliss of recalling the tiniest, unimportant details of a mundane memory.
Make other worlds, create images that others cannot see, build a treehouse out of nothing but imagination.
Maybe once in a while you'll catch yourself not being fully present in the now.
And maybe you will smile to yourself, not remembering what all the fuss was about.
On the verge of something amazing
It was half a lifetime ago.
We were young, so young.
And we did not know that good things come to those who wait and those who don't alike.
Anyways, we weren't going to wait.
Promises had not yet been broken, life was still new.
Writing our hearts out, pouring our hopes onto paper, telling our lives in love songs.
We sent letters across countries and we felt less alone, less confused. More alive.
Your life in another world- a different language- was the source of all my daydreams.
I grew up learning to love your foreign words; pazza, scema, strana...
I wore them like charms on a bracelet, letting them embrace me and define me.
Our letters read like the interactive diaries of two hopeless romantics on the verge of something amazing.
"Diaries are our lives, aren't they?", you wrote me in august 2001.
For a 16 year-old, you were pretty clever.
On the compartmentalization of dating
In the light of the fashionable mensplaining,
- anecdotes of condescending men explaining "complex" things to supposedly less capable women- ,
I am trying to come up with a word for its not-so-distant cousin.
Men who patronizingly try to explain, analyze or criticize the behavior of the women they are dating.
- for the women's own good, of course.
Obviously, in any relationship there must be space for constructive criticism.
My fascination lies in the kind of things that men feel they should and must, point out as flaws with women.
Have you ever been called too independent, too clever, too ambitious?
Too deep, too complicated, over-thinking?
Did he call you a coward because you did not give up everything for him?
It means stop challenging my authority. It means stay in your place.
It means don't forget what you are, what you are supposed to be.
And we- women- are all accomplices in this.
One friend told me to just pretend a little. To be a little more like a woman.
What does that mean?
Writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie talks about the Nigerian expression "bottom power",
the treacherous and false sense of power women wield when we use our sexuality to persuade men.
False because we are just making a small dent in his authority, buying into the idea that the power is indeed his.
"it is easy", my friend said. Works every time.
I am torn between a profound sadness at the cynicism
of a world in which a woman knowingly cuts off her edges,
as to not hurt the fragile ego of a man who supposedly loves her,
And the anger at knowing that women cope with these ridiculous demands by inventing an insane logic
that diminishes men and women alike.
We expect nothing more than what we get,
in this world where everything is pardoned in advance
and therefore everything cynically permitted.
Unscorched by the blaze
I want to write meaningfully, with purpose.
About the destruction and desolation too expansive to be comprehended.
Deconstruct the clichéd imagery of occupation and terrorism,
decode the language of division; of invasion,
I want to carve away the ideology, dig behind history,
Write the story.
A taste of blood in my mouth.
Is it fear?
Fear for them or fear for me?
Fear of never being able to do anything I promised myself?
How shameful.
People are dying and I am shaking under newly washed sheets.
My sheets smell of Marseille soap and the people are hiding, screaming, exploding, giving up.
People are fasting, for faith, for hope, for love.
I am hungry, I think.
I am angry.
haunting abstraction
Emotional analytics is bad for business.
too much knowledge can wreck any imaginary happiness.
Proving yourself right is not the only way forward
And not all dark places need light.
There is no binary truth.
No grand narrative.
No alchemic formula.
There is only embracing uncertainty,
the courage to let go of all premonitions, predictions, calculations.
Trusting that copper coil of desire, buried so deep inside you're not sure it's still there.
Kicking off your shoes, walking the tightrope barefoot to something that may or may not become.
- is there nowhere out of the mind?
All I wanted to do was to rest my head on you,
On the idea of you, just for a minute.
The fear of you slipping away is tangible; I don't even know who you are.
The sense of things falling into place is laced with zemblanity.
Serendipity is zemblanity until proven otherwise.
A new frontier; the forensics of love.
A fingerprint of betrayal?
The DNA of neglect?
Everybody's guilty until proven otherwise.
How many fantasies in an infinitesimal space?
Lean on me, stranger.
What are we?
Trying to be islands, scattered across a much too interconnected world.
no (wo)man is an island.
entire of itself.
How to be anything, anyone when everyone is already taken?
So I fight my instincts,
re-interpret the signs whose meaning I never learnt,
recall moves from movies I've seen and ridiculed.
People say fake it til you make it.
Make what, exactly?
You are leaning on my shoulder,
Weaving me a story to snare me.
You're the victim, you're the hero, you're the intricate mystery.
For a layman, your improv-writing is very convincing.
So real, I think to myself, forgetting I'm all about the fiction.
When it's all over we pretend we did not fake it.
We were both there, we could call each others' bluff.
But we won't.
Respiratory ailment
Holding your breath does something to your inner monologue.
The story you tell yourself moves forward even when you stop breathing.
The story you tell yourself doesn't follow the rules of narratology.
It contains no hero, no villain, maybe not even a princess and endings are never ever after.
It's just you and the universe trying to figure each other out.
Cutting off the oxygen rarely improves the story.
The plot goes insane, the protagonist struggles for air.
Returning characters forget to leave, effectively preventing their return.
And there you are, a narrator without a plan or a way of finishing the story.
You could always choose to inhale..
Photographing something is a way to drive it out of our mind.
Writing a story was Kafka's way of shutting his eyes.
Pamuk asks if framing a picture of a moment means immortilization or succumbing to decay.
We invent all those things just so that we can live with these truths unknown,
certainties unconfirmed, myths believed or fabricated and acceptable lies.
Are they the danger or what saves us from danger?
Who knows? Shut your mind, close your brain, open your mouth.
- Breathe.
emotionally irresponsible
se trata de la certeza que tu amplitud es mi horizonte
Just a few words strung together.
They must have really meant something to somebody,
but I don't mind creatively remixing (hopefully, neither does Andrés Neuman)
It seems silly, I know.
Carrying this phrase around in my imaginary pocket, hoping I'll mean it.
Like the invisible words in the tiny book I wear around my neck.
Sometimes I wonder if life is all preparation and implementation.
And if those fleeting moments that we are all hunting for,
- Camouflage, rifle and an open heart?
if we'll even know it when we find them.
And here I am, hardly remembering what it feels to mean it.
Mumbling imperatives like "use me up!"
Only to see what it would be like.
Just to be true to the search.
And if ever I should forget.
That your borders are the boundaries of my world.
I've got it in writing.
The chicken and the egg, the writer and the word
Language speaks us, wrote Saussure and Foucault agreed.
We do the talking, but it's the boundaries of our narratives that create us.
"There is no outside the text", offered Derrida, failing to distinguish himself from the early (de-) constructionists.
Storytellers are created as their stories unravel.
I specialize in romantic dramas.
Never a conscious decision, I simply ended up discovering the world like this.
Although there was always an emphasis on drama, as romance was always in short supply.
A love story is the work of alchemist magic.
Not the pink, fluffy hollywood kind.
The heavy, moist, yet fleetingly light stories tinged with passion and elusive depth.
Taking mundane moments and turning them into sinister omens.
A brief glance between strangers become a divine intervention or the fulfillment of ones destiny.
I write the word S E R E N D I P I T Y and there it is, insisting on its own being.
I erase and write W E L T S C H M E R Z and I feel it in the pit of my stomach.
This pressing burden of irrevocable sadness for all that will never be.
I think I am writing the world, yet Foucault reminds me that the world is writing me.
A good story takes you by the hand and nudges you along before you second guess your choice.
Choice? No such thing.
You are the story now.

Quick health update: I have costochondritis–inflammation of the cartilage in my ribs, from overdoing it at CrossFit. I am on a steroid this week and am going to stop trying to get a PR every time I work out. I can't believe that I work out so much and pushed so hard that I hurt myself. Is it strange I think that's kind of awesome? #overachiever
I am always thinking about the next big thing on my list–features/upcoming projects for The Everygirl, what photos need to be edited, graphic design projects, blog posts, and everything that needs to be done in order for me to finally finish my apartment among other things. The list never ends, and I never seem to slow down. I've gotten a lot better about taking my weekends off but if I'm home, I am typically working on something. Running two businesses isn't easy! I've found that it is often easier to think about the less complicated nexts on my list.
And next on The Everygirl–how to style flowers. Photography by yours truly.
I am being featured on A Newfound Treasure today. Head over there to see what else is next on my list.

Aw well at least you captured a cool lil memory of this one then before it changed!

I miss this knot so much. It's grown into a real matted mess now which is awesome but I can't help missing my old loops.
