The Seed Swap is Sept. 19th! Start harvesting seed now!
What's going to seed in your garden? I'm seeing plenty of seed harvesting opportunities. Saving seed to propagate your own plants is a rewarding way to expand your native plant garden and share your favorites with friends at the Seed Swap next month.
As you stroll through your garden, make a habit of noticing what's setting seed. If you find yourself reaching for the pruners to lop off an "ugly" seed head, stop! Let the seed mature, harvest some and leave the rest for the birds and other seed-eating creatures. In my garden, most of the grasses are ripening now, as are the penstemons, paintbrush, and purple prairie clover.
Seed is ripe when it is hard, and brown or black. If you open a seed head or pod and find a small green seed that is soft and squishy, wait a week and check again. It's important for the seed to be completely dry at harvest or mold can grow during storage. With some plants, if you miss seed maturation by a few days, you'll find the seed has already dispersed.
The easiest way to harvest seed is to simply snip the flower stalks with seed heads, bundle them loosely and stuff them head first into a paper bag. Tie the bag around the stalks (don't forget to strip the leaves off first) and hang the bag upside down in a dark, cool room. As the pods and seed heads dry, the seeds will burst out and fall into the bag. A gentle shake can speed the process.
You can read additional seed gathering and cleaning tips from the California Native Plant Society.
Once you have your seed separated from the chaff, it's time for seed inspection. You may want a magnifying glass for small seed. Discard seed with insect larvae and seed that appears smaller and less plump, as it is probably not viable. Store the seed in paper envelopes labeled with the species name and year harvested. Ideally, you should store your envelopes in the refrigerator but I usually just find a cold dark corner of the basement where they happily snooze until I'm tired of winter and ready to dig in the dirt.
For information on how to prepare your seed for the Seed Swap, see Chapter Events.

The debilitating condition Irritable Bowel Syndrome, known as IBS, now affects up to 8 million people in the UK, and the medical profession are still unable to define a specific cause. Around 50% of sufferers report that their symptoms started close to a stressful period in their lives, such as a divorce, moving house, suddenly losing a job, or bereavement. Many people believe that their IBS is caused by an allergy to specific foods, as eating a meal often triggers the symptoms.
Traditional treatment methods for IBS have included dietary changes, anti-spasmodic medicines, muscle relaxants and even anti-depressants, but unfortunately this has proved to be ineffective for a number of sufferers.
Recently, following significant research into the benefits gained by IBS sufferers, the medical profession on both sides of the Atlantic has begun recommending Hypnotherapy or CBT as frontline treatments.
In 1995 a study on the positive effectiveness of using CBT to alleviate the symptoms of IBS was completed at the State University of New York in Albany: additionally, research published in the BMJ recently concluded that approaches such as Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and antidepressant drugs could be most helpful.
A clinic in Spain has taken the IBS treatment a step further by combining both of the therapies, resulting in a very focused approach.
At the small British clinic in Fuengirola, they have spent four years developing their treatment, which they have been successfully using on a range of stress related conditions including IBS. The therapy is called Life ArchitectureTM, and comprises of a range of components one of which is the intelligent combination of both CBT and Hypnotherapy, with one therapy being used to underpin the other, as and when required, often producing quite outstanding results.
The treatment contains little that is new, but its approach and methodology especially the blending of therapies is certainly different. The therapy incorporates the use of their own Forensic - Diagnostic Questioning' process, designed, quite cleverly, to ensure the therapist has the best opportunity to swiftly find and treat the primary cause of the problem, rather than the symptoms.
Whilst the Elite clinic offers its non-residential treatment package to the ever-increasing number of Brits living in Spain, it continues, much to everyone's surprise, to receive enquiries on a near daily basis from individuals interested in travelling over to Spain for a few days for the low cost treatment.
Mr Martin Shirran Biography: Martin Shirran, is the lead theapist at the Elite Clinic in Spain.
At the clinic they use CBT, Hypnotherapy, NLP and forensic questioning to ensure that in therapy they locate the cause rapidly.

Today Wild One helped Grandpa change the legs in their table. My babies are growing so fast, their legs were getting squished under their table, so we switched out the short table legs for longer ones. Wild One helped Grandpa unscrew the short table legs from the table, remove the screws and short legs and then replace them with the longer legs and thread the screws.

#LandExpropriation: 8 ANC MPs on committee drafting amendment to Section 25
Parliament - The African National Congress (ANC) caucus on Friday announced it has deployed eight of its MPs to serve on an ad hoc committee to draft a constitutional amendment explicitly allowing for land expropriation without compensation.
ANC chief whip Jackson Mthembu said Thoko Didiza, Vincent Smith, Stanford Maila, Rosina Semenya, Lindiwe Maseko and Phumzile Mnguni will serve on the ad hoc committee as voting members, while Phumzile Ngwenya-Mabila and Nono Maloyi would represent the ruling party as non-voting members.
The National Assembly approved the establishment of the committee on Thursday following a bitter debate in the House. The ANC, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), African People's Convention (APC), National Freedom Party (NFP), and United Democratic Movement (UDM) were in favour of a constitutional amendment, while the Democratic Alliance (DA), Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), Congress of the People (Cope), Freedom Front Plus (FF+) and African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) opposed the move.
The ANC wants the amendment effected before next year's general election.
Mthembu described the events of the week leading up to the setting up of the ad hoc committee as "the most historic development since the advent of our parliamentary democracy".
"Through this amendment, Section 25 of the Constitution will make explicit that which is implicit in the Constitution, with regards to Expropriation of Land without Compensation, as a legitimate option for Land Reform, so as to address the historical wrongs caused by the arbitrary dispossession of land."

I was at the stadium for the last three innings of today's game, which was kind of pointless since we got there just as Johnny Damon hit his two run homerun. By the time we sat down the Yanks had a 6-1 lead and it was time to watch assorted relievers try to keep the mariners to four runs or less. I'll say this about Edwar Ramirez, the kid loves to pitch. You may think he's ineffective, walking two batters and all, but he just didn't want the inning to end. If he strikes those guys out, he's in the dugout for the rest of the game. He wanted to pitch and so ensured himself a 40 pitch inning. Give credit where credit is due people, he loves the game.
Was it cold at the stadium? It wasn't so bad, but we were in the upper tier and there was a fair amount of wind, and pigeons. Some poor girl decided to head down the seats after the game instead of taking the stairs, lost her footing and tumbled a few rows. That is a terrible way to end the day at the ball park. She seemed pretty shaken up and as we left she was still surrounded by her friends/family as she stayed sitting where she landed. Hopefully she's okay.
There's not much else to report from the goings on. I think the only bad thing about going to the stadium is as you walk out you inevitably end up behind some guy smoking. If you're a smoker, please realize that just because you're outside doesn't mean you're not an utter nuisance to everyone around you. That's my rant for the day, back to my paper on a medieval mystic.

Funny things always happen in the House That Ruth Built.
"...the Yanks' trainer and manager are examining the hand of the team's undefeated ace . . . while all around the Stadium, people are having a jolly old time immersing themselves in the Wave."
This is hilarious!

Poetry and Patience
I spent every day over the winter holidays working on my poetry manuscript. I made some progress, but nowhere near as much as I thought. Turns out this next collection is proving to be a lot more work than I imagined. I've been working on it now, on and off, for four years.
Why is it taking longer? I'm not so sure, but I'm choosing to take it as a good sign. This book has a life of its own, and I'm just trying to give it what it needs. Turns out, it needs a lot. I hope it's ready to send out soon though, maybe come the Spring.
This weekend was entirely devoted to poetry, and once again, I've only moved a wee bit forward. And so it goes...

Every mouth-watering, award-winning sandwich at Greenspan's Grilled Cheese
For years, Iron Chef-testant Eric Greenspan's been promising a resto devoted to the eighth, gooey Wonder of the World (grilled cheese!). And for years, you've been hotly anticipating it, 'cause he's a multi-award winner at the annual Grilled Cheese Invitational. Well, that day has finally, gloriously arrived with the opening of Greenspan's Grilled Cheese on Melrose.
Let's just skip talking about the interior and get straight to all the grilled cheeses, shall we?
The Champ: This is it, dudes: the best grilled cheese in the KNOWN UNIVERSE (as voted by judges at the Invitational). Two slices of raisin-walnut bread stuffed w/ Taleggio cheese, beef short ribs, apricot-caper puree, and dried tomatoes.
Buffalo Blue: Um, yes. Fried chicken tenders, blue cheese, and a spicy carrot-celery slaw between two pieces of rye bread.
Cuban Rueben: Not just what everyone calls Studdard's cigar-smoking cousin, the Cuban Rueben's also Greenspan's pumpernickel g-cheese with Gruyere, mustard, pickles, house-made sauerkraut, and pulled pork.
The Tuna Melt: Not exactly the way you'd make it at home, thanks to cucumbers, grapes, and Herman's favorite cheese (muenster).
The Classic: White bread and American cheese, here with a side of tomato soup. Classic.
The Med: It's veggie (don't stop reading), but it comes with tomato, artichoke, roast peppers, avocado, and goat cheese on a challah bun (see!!!!).
Johnny Apple Cheese: The JAC is also called the Johnny Pastrami, thanks to (suuuuuuuurprise!) pastrami, as well as apple-mustard chutney and aged white cheddar on sourdough.
Latkes: Not grilled cheese, but still totally awesome, these potato pancakes are served with apple creme fraiche.
The Elvis: You thought you were done? Nope. They've got dessert grilled cheese, too! F'reals: white bread w/ peanut butter, banana, goat cheese, and "optional" bacon. Right. Optional.

Why Landcare is Important in this Election
Debate on environmental issues in the election campaign thus far, if occurring at all, are focused on climate change. The sternly economic World Economic Forum's 2019 Global Risks Report noted "Of all risks, it is in relation to the environment that the world is most clearly sleepwalking into catastrophe". This was the not the first time such a warning had been sounded in an otherwise dry economics report, but previous warnings were low in the list of risks, used more temperate language, and were about climate change. This year, for the first time, biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse appear as key crises for the world, alongside and connected with a range of global changes.
The UN Food and Agriculture organisation (FAO) has recently released the first global assessment of food and biodiversity. Among its stark conclusions is the following: Biodiversity for food and agriculture is indispensable to food security, sustainable development and the supply of many vital ecosystem services. The report continues with recommendations, among which are Enabling frameworks for the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity for food and agriculture urgently need to be established or strengthened; and Improving the management of biodiversity for food and agriculture and enhancing its contribution to ecosystem services call for better multi-stakeholder, cross-sectoral and international cooperation.
Australia is not immune from these changes and observations, but in Australia there are already actions underway to help. And they have been underway for 30 years, because on 20 July this year Landcare, the idea, the movement, the program, will be 30 years old.
When Former Prime Minister Hawke launched the original "Decade of Landcare" in 1989 it was born of experience in Victoria and was a unique fusion of support from conservation and farming NGOs. At the launch Bob Hawke said "When the earth is spoiled, humanity and all living things are diminished. We have taken too much from the earth and given back too little. It's time to say enough is enough. Today's announcements won't solve everything. But with the right mix of political commitment and community support we can ensure that our country is simply the best in the world. This is our country, our future."
Landcare, 30 years on, is about using human capital to promote sustainable and resilient social and natural capital. As Bob Hawke said, we are drawing too heavily on our natural capital, and we need to reinvest in it, and in so doing build our social capital. Over 30 years Landcare has mobilised communities in urban, rurban and rural landscapes to participate in natural resource management, delivering restored and resilient landscapes, and providing on-going stewardship. It is a cheap program for government in delivering what government needs to deliver in any event. As such, Landcare deserves stronger support – yet we hear little about it from the major parties, Greens or independents, even in the context of debates on "the environment".
Few seem to understand that Landcare is not just about "trees and weeds" but is both a mechanism to help mitigate against climate change, and a key weapon in our armoury to adapt to climate change. There is as much to be achieved through supporting community Landcare actions as through highly technocratic renewable technology. Of course, the best is when both come together. Jo and Kathy Tucker's Victorian property "Tullyvallin" at Maroona, near Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park is a great example of that coming together.
Jo and Kathy, with son Jack, his partner Celia and their sons run a herd of Dorper sheep – but more importantly have an extensive revegetation program in a corner of the property. That revegetation program is complemented by fox and cat containment strategy, to enable (supervised) re-introduction of native mammals to their former range. Some species, including Bandicoots, are now flourishing in their newly-created ecosystem. But alongside that work, on the highest point in the property, stands a Wind Turbine. When operational, that turbine, with one on the neighbour's property can provide enough electricity for the town of Ararat.
Here is a clear view of the future we need, even if it may not be the one we think we want! Policies that help support local communities engage in self-determination and stewardship for their local environments are essential – not a top down dictat from Canberra or even Melbourne. But such policies should not be for just 3 years, or even 30 years rather 300 years! And policies to help local communities manage their environments should be supplemented by the best technology for renewable energy to help try to mitigate climate change. This can be large structures such as wind turbines or solar arrays, but also growing renewable crops, or using saline lands for growing algae to use as biofuels.
Climate change, important as it is, is not the only global change challenge we face, and Landcare helps in building resilience in landscapes and human communities against the full gamut of global changes. There has been a policy of sorts and dribbled support from governments of all persuasions to Landcare over the last 30 years. But after 30 years of solid performance the Landcare model to be fully effective it needs needs a reset and reinvigoration. The co-incidence of the 30th anniversary with whatever result is reached on the 18th May should offer a chance for the government of the day to reinvest strongly in Australia's community and its landscapes.

text: Description: Curly-haired Elder Packer is a bright-eyed bushy-tailed boy with the face and temperament of an angel. He has no idea whathe has in store for him as he makes his way through the ceremonial steps required to join The Order. Nonetheless, he is excited to move forward in his mission. While he may not know exactly what The Order is, he does know that he feels an incredible sense of purpose and direction in his life now that he has started his journey. That is already more than he could have ever asked for, and he is willing to give up everything to sustain that feeling. Bishop Angus can sense this eagerness in the boy right away and knows exactly how to adapt to the situation. In Packer's case, Angus must put up a colder front than he normally would. By doing so, he hopes to temper the boy's expectations and let him know that his journey towards the higher ranks of The Order will not be an easy one.

IADC/10-19 Dropped Object results in Restricted Work Case
The rig crew was in the process of picking up 5" heavyweight. drill pipe. The floor man, who was operating the air hoist with his left hand, was also holding a pipe drift with his right hand. His right hand was resting on the outside border of the rig floor handrail. The drift slipped from his hand and fell from rig floor (13 m.height). The drift struck the injured person's helmet and right shoulder.
IADC/10-20 Damage to starboard flare boom
Well testing operations were being conducted which required the installation of flare booms. Eighty-five foot flare booms were fitted to the pre-existing boom turntables of the port and starboard wing decks. The starboard flare boom was fitted first, followed by the port flare boom. Once the flare booms were installed additional heat suppression equipment was installed on both starboard and port flare booms.The starboard flare boom began rotating slightly on its longitudinal axis and was re-tensioned, which rectified the problem. The starboard flare boom was left extended for approximately 64hours before hydrocarbons were flared utilizing the starboard burner head for approximately 15 minutes.After approximately three hours crew members heard a bang from the starboard side of the rig and went to investigate. As a crew member made his way along the starboard side of the rig he noticed that the starboard flare boom burner head was submerged in the water, while the base was still attached to the wing deck with the king post lying almost horizontal above the boom.
IADC/10-21 Use of unsafe hammer results in RWC
An employee was attempting to open the valve caps on a mud pump using a valve cap removing tool and a hammer. A sliver of metal broke off the hammer head and lodged deep in his left forearm. The injured employee received five stitches to his forearm.
IADC/10-22 Welder's flash (Photokeratitis)
While welders were making modifications to the lines and collector for an additional mud tank. A welder's assistant was assisting the welder by holding the lines and collectors of the centrifuge pump so that they could be welded in place. The helper wasn't wearing the appropriate PPE (welding shield) instead he improvised his own mask using his dark safety glasses and a piece of dark glass (obtained from a broken welder's mask). Every time the welder struck an arc, the helper would place the improvised shield in front of his face. Due to the inadequate improvised shield, the worker later suffered welder's flash (pain, sensation of dirt particles, photophobia, and difficulty opening eyes) in both eyes.
IADC/10-23 Repairing centrifugal pump results in a near miss
A welder was in the process of removing a seized threaded impeller from the 2-1/2" shaft of a centrifugal mud pump. To loosen the impeller from the shaft the welder used a welding torch to heat it. The impeller is screwed onto the shaft with right-hand threads and the threads are sealed inside the back of the impeller with an "O"-ring. When the shaft/impeller was installed previously, the threads were greased and cavity was filled with grease. As the impeller was being heated,the heat from the torch caused the grease to expand inside the impeller thread cavity. The expanding grease caused the cast center of the impeller to explode outward (see photo), striking a nearby welding machine.
IADC/10-24 Air valve malfunction results in High-Potential Near Miss
The driller was in the process of back reaming when the air supply to the drum clutch of the draw works suddenly bled off. This allowed the drum clutch to release and the top drive system, with a 5-inch drill string attached, to move down approximately 4-meters (13 feet). The drill pipe elevators came in contact with the rotary table resulting in damage to the bails and the link tilt hydraulic cylinders.
IADC/10-25 Welding on a truck tire rim results in a serious incident
A truck rim had a hairline crack and the maintenance personnel decided to repair it by welding. After welding on the rim, a new tire was mounted to the rim and pressured to 20 to 40 psi to test the weld. Leaks were found on the hub weld so the person in charge decided to weld the leaking areas from the hub side while pressure was inside the tire. A few minutes after the welds were completed a violent release of energy from the tire launched it from the floor of the shop to the roof. The incident occurred inside a transport maintenance workshop where support and maintenance activities were being performed. The explosion resulted in two (2) fatalities and two (2) injured persons among the (8) people that were in the workshop at the time, and 3 others who were nearby.
IADC/10-26 Crane lifting operation results in a fatality
The incident occurred on the starboard aft pipe deck and involved the removal of a non-magnetic drill collar from its transport basket and laying it out in the adjacent open bay. The injured party (IP) and another roustabout carried out the slinging of the collar in preparation for lifting. The injured party, who was the designated banksman (signalman), signaled the crane operator to lift the collar out of the basket. As the lift progressed, the other roustabout involved in the lifting operation realized that the boom was not properly positioned over the load and called for a stop. By this time the collar was clear of the basket and swung towards the injured party who was clear of it as it passed. The collar struck the protective beams, and on its return swing, the collar impacted the IP in the lower left abdomen area. The IP was transported onshore and received medical attention, but expired two days later.
IADC/10-27 Failure to follow lockout procedures results in a near miss
Rig personnel were cleaning the suction screen on a mud pump when the driller activated the mud pump.No injuries resulted since personnel were not working on the piston rods, bull gears, etc.
IADC/10-28 Mud pit dump valve handle
While closing a dump valve on a reserve mud pit, an employee was struck in the mouth with the handle of the dump valve. The incident resulted in a laceration to his upper lip and three broken teeth.
IADC/10-29 Near Miss – Dropped Tong Weight
After changing out the rig floor drill pipe tongs, a rig crew member went up the derrick to remove weight from the tong counter-balance weight bucket. He removed two steel weights and tied them to the rig floor winch line with sash cord. While lowering the weight to the floor, the sash cord broke, allowing the weights to fall 60 feet to the rig floor.
IADC/10-30 High Potential Dropped Object incident results in two LTI's
Two lost time incidents occurred on two separate occasions where two employees were struck by falling rubber guides from the Top Drive Back Up Wrenches (BUW).
IADC/10-31 Mud pump repair results in fractured finger
The derrickman and the injured person (IP) were tightening the bolts of the mud pump pulsation damper. As the derrickman swung the hammer it slipped from his hands and struck the injured person (IP) on his left hand. The IP was holding the hammer wrench with his hands. The blow from the hammer caused a contusion to the index finger of the IP. The IP was taken to the hospital where they found a compound fracture to his index finger resulting in a restricted work case.
IADC/10-32 Horseplay results in injuries
Two roustabouts were cleaning a piece of equipment, one with a high pressure wash down gun and the other with a scrub broom. The roustabout with the wash down gun asked the other to move out of the way so he wouldn't get sprayed. The roustabout with the scrub broom waved the broom in the face of the other,and oil base mud with soapy water and diesel splashed into the other's face and ran down behind his glasses into his eye. The injured person had his eye flushed with water.Two roustabouts were cleaning mud pits, one roustabout was on top and the other was in the pit. The roustabout on top accidentally hosed the other employee,who in turn hosed down the man on top of the pits,and an argument ensued. The result was the worker who was in the pit picked up a rock and struck the other in the buttocks. The injured went to the medic and was given a pain reliever and bed rest for the remainder of the day.
IADC/10-33 Worker's arm caught in mud bucket
The air slips were changed out because they were not setting properly. In order to pull the slips away from the rotary table, the air line from the mud bucket was removed and fitted to the rig floor winch. (The sole purpose of that particular air winch is for use with the air slips.) When the crew removed the air hose from the mud bucket and connected it to the air winch, they operated the control valves on the mud bucket to bleed off the residual pressure in the air line. The driller was setting down the weight of the drill string,getting ready to back out a stand of drill pipe when he observed a rig floor worker (Injured Person [IP])holding a dope brush with his hand inside the mud bucket. The driller shouted a warning and at the same time the mud bucket closed, trapping the man's arm as the air supply to the bucket was turned back on.
IADC/10-34 Fatality occurs during offline cementing operations
The operation at the time of the incident was rigging down the cementing head and bonnet. It is believed that the crew started rigging down the ancillary parts of the cement head (hoses and a "T" piece) some hours before the final rig down job commenced. As part of this preparatory work the lower valve on the cement head was closed to prevent fluid leaking onto the deck after the return line was drained. This valve remained closed until the time of the incident. During the time between the closure of the valve and the removal of the cement bonnet, pressure continued to build up in the system due to the effects of thermal expansion from the cement job. The calculated pressure build up within the system was more than 140 psi. Later the Well Head Engineer (WHE) went to the dog house with the JSA (Job Safety Analysis) for the 'Installation of the Xmas Tree' (which followed the rigging down of cement head activity). The WHE discussed the JSA with the Tourpusher, who told the WHE to wait until the cementing supervisor arrived, so that all parties were present and the JSA could be conducted for all elements of the task, beginning with rigging the down of the cement head.
While waiting for the cementing supervisor, the WHE met with the Assistant Driller (AD), who was the supervisor responsible for assisting both Service Companies with the manpower and lifting capabilities for rigging down the cement head / bonnet and installation of Xmas tree. They went through the WHE's JSA and then proceeded to the production deck and the well head in question. Prior to the arrival of the cementing supervisor and prior to conducting the pre-job meeting, the locking nuts from the cement bonnet were all released. There was no check and the personnel did not recognize that it was under pressure. As the last locking nut was loosened,the bonnet and cement head released from the well (pushed upwards)and toppled towards the AD, pinning him between the annulus valve on an adjacent well and the cement head. The AD was severely injured and passed away shortly after.
IADC/10-35 Deep Vein Thrombosis
After attending a conference in the United States an employee flew to London then on to Dubai. When arriving in Dubai the employee noticed severe swelling in his left leg. He entered the hospital and was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). There have also cases of DVT reported in the oil and gas industry that have occurred when a driver(s) spent a long time driving a vehicle without taking a break.

Robert Anton Wilson's Cosmic Trigger: Final Secret of the Illuminati (original 1977; edition 1977)
by Robert Anton Wilson (Author)
Work details
Cosmic trigger : final secret of the illuminati by Robert Anton Wilson (1977)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
How many predictions of the futurists failed to come to fruition--space colonies, life extension, immortality, Interesting relic of the era, insights into what many thought was going to happen.
This is the kind of book you aren't expecting to read. That is, if you, like me, had your head somewhere else than all conspiracy-lovers and occult seekers had. For this is the a book about someone not refusing the existence of weird phenomena, but embracing the kaleidoscope of possible explanations and the many people behind such quests.
This is also a compilation of small essays about different topics. This, notwithstanding the bizarreness of the topic at times, allows you have a enough breathe room to find your own pace without losing too much between reading sessions.
If you are already familiar with occult topics and weird phenomena, I imagine that this book does not add much to what you already know or believe. But if you, like me, happen to fall on this by accident and find yourself enjoying RAW's style and wittiness, this book may hold a pleasant surprise for you.
One of my all-time favorite books...reading it is like being on psychedelics. Try it and let me know.
My reactions to reading this book in 2004.
"Foreword", Timothy Leary, Ph.D -- Basically an account of the syncretic blend of weirdness the reader can expect from Wilson, who seems to be Leary's friend.
Cosmic Trigger: The Final Secret of the Illuminati, Robert Anton Wilson -- This book provided some interesting autobiographical material on Wilson. I note confirmation of my theory that engineers seemed to be attracted to outre ideas by the fact that Wilson started out training to be an electrical engineer before switching to mathematics (which may explain why he has such a good grasp of quantum physics). He admits to being of an analytical mind and fascinated by puzzles. I would say, in his case, the analytical mind likes to create puzzles where none exist as well as solve them. In his mind, pattern seeking behavior is in overdrive, and that accounts for the sometimes delightful and interesting connections he makes between the occult and/or (a favorite conjunction of Wilson who eschews binary logic) science and/or conspiracy theories as well as his seeming encyclopedia knowledge of the occult and conspiracy theories. I came away with more and less respect for Wilson.
Wilson, at least the Wilson writing in the years after this book came out, struck me as something of a radical skeptic -- willing to entertain most notions, unwilling to firmly believe or disbelieve any. He lives in the perennial world of maybe. To be sure, there is some of that here. Wilson, like many occultists and pseudoscientists, carefully notes he doesn't fall for just any idea, that self-delusion and hoaxing exist, but he doesn't note that too often or often enough. I found it interesting that he claims that Aleister Crowley tried to bring a scientific method to his occult studies -- to believe nothing except by proof and to keep careful notes.
However, the Crowley Wilson describes seems to have neglected the importance of controlled experiments, alternate explanations, and replicability. Science is more than just hypothesizing and keeping records. Wilson too easily falls into the common pseudoscientist's habit of citing one alleged paranormal event as proof of another. For instance, he uncritically accepts the validity of Kirlian photography (as evidence of auras around humans -- this book came out at the height of the Kirlian photography craze) and cattle mutilations. He also too easily dismisses skeptics by implying that they unreasonably imply UFO contactees and other experiencers of the paranormal are lying. The more frequent explanations that skeptics give is sincere misperception and later embroidering and conflating of accounts and events. On the other hand, Wilson does point out the common themes of several occult principles and experiences. Even if you explain these as hallucinations and perceiving bogus patterns in reality there is a mystery worth investigating here. Why do the same archetypes and themes show up again and again? What is it in the human brain that makes these themes common and appealing?
Of course, scientists are operating using the same brain as mystics so it's not surprising that people like Timothy Leary and the quantum mystics-physicists cited here should try, like Fludd and other medieval occultists, to unify everything into systems, systems of spirit and science, occult and reason. The material on Leary and his work was interesting (Wilson was a friend of Leary's and wrote several books with him). Leary comes across initially as a serious scientist who got sidetracked into the systematizing obsession noted above (but, then, scientists are supposed to systematize). Wilson describes his charm and likeability. (Even G. Gordon Liddy, one time prosecutor of Leary and then lecture buddy, noted that Leary was a charming, likeable, nice guy but that he wouldn't take any food or drink offered by him. The latter is unfair if Wilson is correct in stating that Leary was strictly against giving drugs to people unaware.) The problem was Leary, like psychologists in the era before magnetic resonance imaging and the other biopsychiatric tools of the last fifteen years, was grappling with a difficult subject without adequate tools. He fell back to the predictable position psychologists usually do in that position: trying to explain the brain and consciousness using contemporary technology, here computers and computer programming and logic circuits (there is also traces of the notion of RNA memory).
Putting aside the notion of terrestrial life being seeded by alien intelligences, Leary's notion of human evolution has a couple of problems. First and foremost, it assumes that there is a purpose to human evolution instead of all evolution, including human, simply being the selection of a species members to survive best in the environment the species currently finds itself in. Second, there seems to be a Lamarckian feel to it with, if I understood Leary correctly, DNA being rewritten via experiences. To be fair to Leary, his ideas have a kernel of truth in them. The human brain is altered by experiences of all kind, drugs, including neurotransmitters, do affect the quality of consciousness, environment does influence the expression of genes even if it doesn't delete or add genes. I read with interest the success of Leary using LSD and other psychedelic drugs in a controlled program of psychotherapy. I think that research should have continued (providing there was ethical guidance for playing around with the brain chemistry of experimental subjects) in this field and that psychedelic drugs shouldn't have become taboo in any circumstance. I believe I've recently read of modern research confirming that LSD did have some therapeutic value. I also find Leary's claim that LSD could be used if the context, setting, and consent of the patient were controlled. I suspect that most horrible experiences of people on acid were the result of those not being controlled. (I was reminded of Philip K. Dick's claim that he would give people contemplating taking LSD a Rorschach test first to see if they would have a bad trip. I was also reminded of the lethal effects on the unwitting CIA employee who was given LSD.) Certainly, I have personally known people who have taken LSD and had good, harmless experiences, and I have no reason to disbelieve them. I did find Wilson's account of the brutal death of his daughter and confirmation of the rumor that he had her cyronically suspended interesting. (May 16, 2004)
"Afterword", Saul-Paul Sirag -- Physicist Sirag uncritically accepts the powers of Uri Geller and then goes off onto some incomprehensible numerological manipulations of physical values in an attempt to reconcile Special Relativity and quantum physics.
Difficult to give this one a rating. It is a wonderful historical piece and gives an interesting view of what life in the Berkeley was like for some folks. Also obviously influential on later fringe culture. (I'd be willing to wager that this along w/ Illuminatus had at least some impact on The Invisibles.
However, the writing does fail into the trap where Wilson seems to take a lot of his source material at face value, or attempts to convince the reader it's unlikely to be a hoax or that mundane explanations are less likely than radical ones.
There is interesting conflict internally as Wilson's "Skeptic" thoughts seem to be lurking in the unconscious even during some of the more outrageous claims.
If you have any interest in Berkeley in the 60s/70s, Leary or like Philip K. Dick's trippier writing like VALIS, this is worth a read.

Royal Oak awash in green for St. Patrick's Day Parade
This high-style place is as new a house as you're going to find among homes built 20 years ago.
Royal Oak celebrated all things green Saturday morning as the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade marched through downtown.
Crowds lined Washington Avenue in green beads, green wigs and even green bowties on their dogs as the parade of bagpipers, dancers and vintage cars went by.
The Grand Marshal was Steve Zanetti, the long-time former parade chairman, according to a news release from event organizers, the Ancient Order of Hibernians' O'Brien Division.
"When deciding on the Grand Marshal it seemed fitting that Steve should be honored. Without Steve's direction, drive and dedication the parade would never have become the wonderful tradition that it is today, " said current parade chairman Sean Dare in the release.

Friends co-creator David Crane has nailed the coffin shut on talk of a reunion, insisting the beloved sitcom should be "preserved exactly as it should be."
Fans of the show have been hoping for a cast get together ever since the show ended in 2004 after 10 years on TV, making stars of castmates Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, and Matthew Perry, but Crane has assured them a reboot will never happen.
"We did it, and it's done," he tells Press Association. "We put a bow on Friends and, you know, if you want to watch Friends now, it's still on television. Right now, it's preserved exactly as it should be. You don't want a bunch of people in their 50s in the coffee house!"
His comments echo those LeBlanc made recently during an appearance on Steve Harvey's talk show Steve, when he was asked about a possible reunion.
The actor, who played dim-witted Joey Tribbiani on the classic TV show, created by Crane and Marta Kauffman, insisted the series was a hit because it dealt with young people in between school and life – and going back to the characters now would not be funny.
"I've talked to the writers about it," he said. "That show was about a very finite period in your life when you're like… between 20 and 30, when you're outta school but life hasn't really started yet, and your friends are your family and you're kinda finding your way. When that period is over, it's over. All the characters have gone their separate ways."

Can Artificial Intelligence Replace Human Designers?
By Jessica Murray, Senior Experience Designer at Akendi
With more and more small businesses and independent e-commerce vendors popping up, there is a greater need for design. But not everyone can afford to hire a designer or design team. Logojoy and companies like it are filling a need for cheap and fast design by offering an online design service where users can create logos without the intervention of a designer. They are using software AI to generate endless logo options based off visual criteria outlined by the user.
However, software cannot do what designers do, it cannot solve problems at a conceptual level, a human level. Software can give you combinations of fonts, colours and symbols you can mess around with until you are satisfied or not. Ironically, if you are not satisfied with the logo options, you can consult with a designer to tweak the generated designs.
Design isn't just a nice to have, it's an essential part of how customers perceive the value of your brand. So why cheap out on something so important?
I suppose you shouldn't nay say something 'til you try it though, right? So I gave Logojoy a spin and rebranded some well-known brands. Let's have a look at the results below.
Original logo
Redesigned with Logojoy
The new Apple logo – It's looking similar to the original but not quite the same. The typography is unrefined, ordinary and the shape of the apple doesn't say high end modern technology more like cute apple orchard. One major difference between the generated logos and the original logo is the word "Apple". In the original logo you don't need the word to understand that the company name is Apple. The symbol is so straightforward and simple that you just get it.
Original logo
Redesigned with Logojoy
The new Coca-Cola logo - feeling like a cheap a knock-off brand you might find in a dollar store. The typography in the second option is more like a set of icons rather than letter forms. The loss of the iconic Coca-Cola typeface, the movement of the swish and the clever use of negative space all replaced with literal iconography, boxy graphics, and illegible typefaces.
World Wildlife Foundation
Original logo
Redesigned with Logojoy
The new WWF logo – they have a lot of the same elements from the original logo but something is amiss. These options are all so literal. The second suggestion is probably the most outrageous, with the cooking pot icon. Not sure that says saving animals from mass extinction to me! The panda graphic in the original logo is so iconic to this brand that anything less just feels wrong, the emotional impact is lost.
After all this I do believe that tools like this have a purpose. For those who are getting a new brand off the ground within a very limited budget and need something super fast this could be a good stop gap. Sometimes you just need a starting place, a place to play and imagine what your brand could be. Logos and brands evolve over time and require revisions as a business matures.
Hiring a human designer will get you closer to creating a brand that truly connects. When you hire a designer or design team, you are hiring them to create a brand system not just a logo. What would Apple be without that simple little apple, and Coca-Cola without that beautiful 50s script?
A logo should contain the spirit and history of the brand as well as represent what they stand for. For this reason, designers start with ideas, concepts and a higher level vision. Digital tools are just the medium used to execute the final output. Intelligent software can't pull out the meaning of a brand if it's simply combining graphics and fonts. Branding requires a deeper level of conceptual thinking.
What we know is that great design has an intangible value that is hard to quantify. This is the story of design. You know it's right when you see it but it's difficult to articulate why. Removing the element of human creativity from the branding process results in a logo that feels unrefined and emotionless. Smart businesses recognize the value of a strong brand and the emotional connection it creates.

FedEx reported third-quarter earnings on Tuesday that missed analyst estimates, but revenue was roughly in line with expectations.
The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.35 on $15 billion in revenue. Wall Street had expected the company to post earnings of $2.62 a share on $14.99 billion in revenue, according to Thomson Reuters estimates.
Earnings fell from $2.51 a share a year earlier, while revenue climbed from $12.7 billion.
The stock fell 4 percent in after-hours trade.
The company said its results "were impacted by the significantly negative net impact of fuel and one fewer operating day at FedEx Express and FedEx Ground, and network expansion at FedEx Ground."
FedEx said it still expects adjusted full-year earnings between $11.85 a share and $12.35 a share.
Frederick Smith, chairman and CEO of FedEx, said the company delivered an "outstanding peak season." The company is considered an indicator of economic conditions in the United States.
"Even with our highest volumes ever, we achieved record service levels," Smith said in a statement. "We are confident our strategic investments to expand our global scope and portfolio of solutions position FedEx for greater long-term profitable growth as we adapt to meet the evolving needs of our customers."
As of the Tuesday close, shares of FedEx are up 3 percent so far in 2017. The Dow Jones transportation average has fallen 1 percent in the same period.

This makes paying the rent and having an immediate receipt on hand simple for you and your tenants. In addition, if you work for a property management company and have someone in the office in charge of collecting rent from tenants, add a File Upload form to the rent receipt form template so they can upload a copy of the payment for your records. This way should you find yourself in a landlord-tenant dispute you have proof they either paid or didn't.
If you have your rent receipt form on your website for tenants to fill out after they've paid their rent, consider adding an email newsletter signup checkbox to your rent receipt form so they can subscribe. This is a great way to let all your tenants know what's happening in their community, any updates with the property management company, and how to make sure their property is well-cared for while they lease from property owners.
If you're worried about spam form submissions, you can always add a Captcha form field to your rent receipt form template that requires either tenants or your staff to answer a math problem or question before being able to submit the form. You can also take advantage of WPForms' built-in honeypot feature or enable invisible Google reCAPTCHA if you prefer.
Whether you self-manage your rental properties or run a property management company and collect rent from hundreds of tenants a month, using a rent receipt form to document payments and organize them in one convenient location is one of the best things you can do for your business.
So, what are you waiting for? Get started with WPForms today to create your own rent receipt form. Bonus, we'll give you our rent receipt form template and over 100+ other pre-made form templates!

I have a friend that encourages me to write. Probably believes in my writing more than I do. Her name is Catherine Vietti. She has been a wonderful friend and a blessing since I began to write seriously. Here is a poem that she wrote and gave to me. I thought I would share it with you all. It is titled "Why?"
"Why are we here upon the earth?
Where can we, from this darkness, go? Why, from the moment of our birth, must we, so painfully grow?
Why, when we reach our brightest years, If joy comes, it soon flies by? Tho, the tears and terrors, torment without end – Leaving just the endless question – "Why?"
Listen…It's really not a dream…Deep from the past…voices at last…Holding you fast, as you waken in wonder, they tell you – "Things are not as they seem…you will be shown, you're not alone…(you should have known!)"
And, when, you think your life's all wrong, then, somehow, something you always doubted before…will open a door.
And, your eyes will open, and you'll finally see,
Loving one another is the key…
Jesus has already set you free!
Catherine Vietti

In fact, there are many benefits to selecting a boiler as your heating option of choice. With the proper care, boilers can have a very long life-cycle. Although boilers are relatively easy to operate and do not have very many parts, if not cared for properly, they can experience malfunctions. The best way to avoid emergency boiler repair is to schedule regular maintenance. Proper maintenance will help keep your system up and running, decreasing downtime and ensuring that your building is comfortable.

AHC Humanitarian Communications Technology
The objective of the HCT ad hoc Committee is to propose policies to the COMSOC President for a COMSOC active role in helping the people in developing regions to gain access to the communications technologies that the people in developed countries enjoy. The Committee should take into account present activities and set the bases for future ones. The committee should act as a single point of contact for all these related ComSoc activities. The committee shall propose new ComSoc activities as well as get ComSoc involved in appropriate external activates.
COMSOC already has a Committee, TCII, aiming at furthering telecommunications in developing Countries. The difference is that TCII focuses on the technical aspects, while HCT will focus on broader interactions with other IEEE entities (e.g., ICEO, GEOSS, Humanitarian Technology at the IEEE level, ComSoc chapter development in developing countries, interfacing with the Society on Social Implications of Technology, and so on). It also should have a scope broader than just "information infrastructure" within ComSoc, pulling together what several of our TCs may be doing to serve humanity.
Also, by specifically calling it "Humanitarian Communications Technology," it may generate more willingness by funders and others to contribute to our work; being a committee created by the President and associated with the Board of Governors should give its chair more authority to negotiate funding, etc. Note, the HCT committee reports to the VP Member Relations, while TCII reports to the VP Technical Activities.
This group requires you to join before you can view or add content.

TALK: Preserving Authenticity: Past. Present. Future
Roman Road | Tuesday 16 April 2019
A conversation between Daniel McClean, Robert Norton and Tanya Tikhnenko.
The talk focuses on the issues of preserving authenticity and authorship that artists face today and the potential future developments. What are the factors that play a key role in safeguarding the authenticity of the work? What are the responsibilities of the artist, gallery, collector or institution in relation to authenticity and the legacy of the work? What are the lessons that can be learned from the past?

I love interviewing Martin Freeman. Not only is he a very talented actor that's always great in front of the camera; it's also because no matter what you want to talk about, he always finds a way to work in funny stories that will make you laugh. My interview last week in London for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies was no different. Not only did he talk about what people say about him online, or what he'd ask J. R. R. Tolkien if he could travel back in time, he told an amazing R-rated story about the game he likes to play with his cast mates – specifically Aidan Turner. Trust me, there is no way you watch this interview and not laugh out loud. Hit the jump to watch.
As most of you know, the final chapter in Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, opens tomorrow. Unlike the first two installments of The Hobbit, the final chapter is almost non-stop action and features some incredible sequences that fans of The Lord of the Rings will absolutely love. In addition, if you have the chance to see it in 3D, the added ticket price is worth it for this movie. The film stars Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Evangeline Lilly, Luke Evans, Benedict Cumberbatch, Stephen Fry, Cate Blanchett, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Hugo Weaving, Ken Stott, James Nesbitt, and Orlando Bloom.
Martin Freeman:
- How much does he follow what people are saying online about him?
- Does he have any embarrassing moments from set that he can share?
- Talks about how he used to do "would you rathers" on set and what he asked Aidan Turner.
- If he could go back in time and ask J. R. R. Tolkien a question about his character or the Lord of the Rings universe what would he ask?
- What is it like being back on Sherlock?

A Purpose Driven Vow
Contributed by William Noel on Jan 25, 2004 (message contributor)
Summary: Described the three elements that must be present in making a vow to God
"A Purpose-Driven Vow"
I Sam. 1:9-18
· A 'vow' is defined as 'a promise, or something sworn'
· The most well known vow is the Wedding Vow. But, there are others
· Biblically speaking, when you promise to do for the Lord, or in the Lord's name, you are obligated to pay what you promised.
o God has no bankruptcy court
o God doesn't understand the idea of 'default'
· Have you made a 'Vow' to the Lord?
· Don't be afraid to make a vow to God. Be afraid to break a vow you made to God
· But, why make a vow?
o Because it's the first of the year (New Year's Resolutions)
o Because others are doing it (Peer Pressure)
o Because you think that's the only way you can get God to do what you want
o Because that's what God wants you to do!
A Purpose-Drive Vow…
I. Is Focused on the Ministry, 9-11
A. The Ministry is ALWAYS begins at home,
1. For the Women, Titus 2:3-5 & Eph 5:22-24
2. For the Men, Eph. 5:25-33
B. The Ministry is ALWAYS is about others
1. Because that's the ministry of Christ,
2. Because that's the need of the hour, Matt. 9:36-38
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
A Purpose-Drive Vow…
II. Is Focused on Prayer, 12-16
A. This kind of Prayer is only for the Lord, 12-13
You can talk about me just as much as you please
The more you talk, I'm gonna stay on my knees
I'm on my way up, and I can't turn around
I'm on my way up, to the higher ground
The Lord has been mighty good to me
That's why I'm grateful, so grateful to Thee
I'm Thankful! I'm mighty Thankful!
B. This kind of Prayer is felt in the flesh and in the spirit, 14-16
1. When your spirit is troubled, it will affect how others see you, 14
2. When your spirit is troubled, it will affect how you behalf, 15-16
A Purpose-Drive Vow…
III. Is Focused on Faith, 17-18
A. You will Hear & Receive the Word of the Lord, 17
1. Eli spoke the Word, but Hannah was responsible to receive it
2. Be careful what you speak; be careful what you receive.
a. Deut. 18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
b. I Jn. 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
B. You will Walk & Act in the Way of the Lord, 18
1. II Cor. 5: 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
2. Rom. 1: 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
3. Rom. 3: 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
· Do You need to make a Purpose-Driven vow?
o It needs to be focused on the Ministry
o It needs to be focused on Prayer
o It needs to be focused on Faith
· Do you need to make a vow to enter the Christian Ministry?
· Do you need to make a vow of purity?
· Do you need to make a vow for your marriage?
· Do you need to make a vow for your children?
· If so, make it A Purpose-Driven Vow!

SO cute! I love the "mushroom head" hair-do (that's what I call the ponytail on top of the head look). Only little kids can successfully wear that AND look totally adorable. Adults just look plain silly. 🙂

They are frequently identified by this passion, so why not incorporate it into the wedding? Your guests are people who love you, and they will be so excited to enjoy something that you love so much.

If you are an artist, create individual pieces of art to display on easels at each table, or incorporate the art into nice favors for your guests.
If you can sing, consider singing a song that is special to you and your husband.
If you are a dancer, recruit some of your dancer friends and put on a small show for your guests.
If your husband is a wine connoisseur, have a wine tasting bar, complete with food parings and flights of his favorite wines for your guests to sample.

Laptops are vital-gadget for everybody as these are straightforward-to-use, moveable, power savers and extra. If there is a thing corresponding to laptop envy, you'll undoubtedly realize it when you see your office issue your colleagues one among these new beauties. Given the price of our evaluation configuration, prosumers seemingly will not rush out to buy the EliteBook , and that, HP admits, is okay—there's a Spectre with features which can be simply as compelling.
There may be energetic analysis to make computers out of many promising new kinds of technology, comparable to optical computers , DNA computers , neural computers , and quantum computers Most computers are universal, and are able to calculate any computable function , and are restricted solely by their reminiscence capability and working speed. Nevertheless completely different designs of computers can give very completely different performance for explicit problems; for example quantum computers can probably break some fashionable encryption algorithms (by quantum factoring ) very quickly.
Gaming laptops have very powerful hardware parts to run demanding LAPTOP games. Compared to a traditional laptop, a gaming notebook has a devoted graphics card, a backlit keyboard with programmable keys, and a extra environment friendly cooling system.
The most recent port to arrive on computers is USB-C.
Eurocom has taken the wraps off the Tornado F7W, the model's newest high-end mobile workstation powered by an Intel Core i9-9900K octa-core processor and Nvidia Quadro P5200 graphics.

As we move through the so-called publish PC era, notions of computing and our definitions of it are evolving. Display based technology is in all places, the bodily boxy kinds from the previous at the moment are bland slabs, and the term 'Computer' is in decline – most notably in the latest Apple Ipad commercial where a young protagonist, engrossed with his touchscreen system poses the question 'what's a computer?'.
Dell Small Enterprise has two laptops on sale.
Eurocom has taken the wraps off the Tornado F7W, the brand's newest excessive-finish cellular workstation powered by an Intel Core i9-9900K octa-core processor and Nvidia Quadro P5200 graphics. For individuals who can afford to spend over $seven hundred, immediately's premium laptops make a number of sense. You will get incredibly thin and lightweight laptops with lengthy battery life, vibrant displays and chopping-edge efficiency. Nonetheless, the common LAPTOP laptop value is beneath $500 and has been for a number of years now. Few shoppers can afford to interchange their older laptops with new items that price this a lot.
Personal Computer gaming is and at all times will be the strongest gaming platform. Imagine my shock when I discovered -by looking at some benchmarks- that laptops, which are offered for €800 right now, are getting their butt kicked by my 5 yr outdated ASUS laptop with Intel core i7 2630QM (which I purchased for around €800 again then).
All settings were default besides: Wi-Fi was related to a community. Battery life varies considerably with settings, utilization and different elements. The battery life of the Microsoft Floor Laptop 2 formally is available in at 14 hours and 30 minutes of video playback, and whereas we did not quite hit that, it is secure to say that the battery life on the laptop is absolutely quite good.

text: Synopsis: A group of German construction workers begin building a hydroelectric power station in a remote region of Bulgaria. Even though relations with a nearby village's inhabitants are difficult – not least because of language barriers that are initially almost impossible to overcome – Meinhard succeeds in making friends with the locals. His colleague Vincent tracks these rapprochements with jealous mistrust. With "Western,"Valeska Grisebach tells the story of migrant workers in foreign countries with the conditions reversed: the Germans here are foreigners, and overcoming borders is no easier for them than for their colleagues who come to Germany as outsiders
