I have done my best most of my life to be normal, to fit in. I cut off so much of me, crammed me into the little box I was told I was to fit in for a very long time. And I was miserable.
Don't get me wrong, I was actually pretty good at not being me. I was pretty good at faking normal. Married. Kids. Bible School Teacher. Successful career with a background in VP and Diretor Level positions which thrived under my leadership. But what no one else knew was that I would wake up everyone morning with a sense of sadness and dread, uncertain how I was going to make it through the day. The only saving grace - knowing I would return to my soft, cozy bed in a few hours to go to sleep and shut it out again.
Through it all, I kept seeking. I kept asking. There had to be something more. I tried everything. From Jesus to Reiki to Buddhism and everything in between. Some things worked for awhile and some never worked at all. Went through a divorce somewhere in the midst of it all and another marriage too.
Then along came Access Consciousness and my life radically changed. The tools in every class offered pragmatic ways to actually live - joyfully. I found out that the joy and exuberant expression of me was actually a gift... even though I had believed it was too much for a long time. I realized that my failed marriages didn't mean that I was a failure. I could actually get clear on what I desire in life, in relationship, in everything and then choose to create what worked for me. No matter what anyone else said about it.
Today, my life is unrecognizable from what it was before. Every day I wake up with such gratitude for being alive, for being here on this amazing planet. My life is a constant creation and I keep asking for more.
Facilitating classes might just be my favorite thing to do in the whole world. Offering the tools and processes of Access Consciousness which empower you to know that YOU know and that assist you in actualizing the life and living you desire - how much more fun does it get?!
One of my favorite quotes of Gary Douglas, Founder of Access Consciousness is, "What would it take for you to realize how crucial you are to the possibilities of the world?" And if we all knew this, what could we create? What other possibilities would be available? I wonder...

Carly Fiorina, Rand Paul announce Colorado campaign leaders
Campaign season, no doubt, is officially here, as Carly Fiorina and Rand Paul announced state campaign leaders to oversee their quest for votes for president in what's likely to be a key swing state next year.
Fiorina's picks are state Rep. Perry Buck of Windsor and businesswoman Heidi Ganahl of Boulder. Paul chose former state Sen. Scott Renfroe from Greeley and state Sen. Owen Hill from Colorado Springs.
Both candidates are building momentum in the Mile High state of late. Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO, had a strong showing at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver last weekend, finishing second in the straw poll and drawing raves from heavyweight politicos, such as former state GOP chairman Dick Wadhams. Paul, a U.S. senator from Kentucky, raised money Tuesday at the Cannabis Business Summit at the Denver Convention Center. In the process, he became the first presidential candidate from a major party to openly court donors from the marijuana industry, my colleague, Matthew Nussbaum reported.

[I] took another sliding step, two, three, hard fur against my cheek, smelled it smelling me….Enough. I stepped away from the hull but kept my hand there and with the other reached across to my shoulder and grabbed. Pulled. Felt it cling to my shirt and skin and a wet sharpness in my cheek, a kiss with teeth, then ripped it away with skin and cloth. A scream in my hand.
I gave it back. They answered from everywhere.
I kept moving.
There in the blind.
For them the Continent had still the flavour of the eighteenth century Grand Tour, with perhaps a touch of Mark Twain's Innocents Abroad. For them Germany was still the Germany of Goethe; France, the France of the first English settlers on the Riviera; and Switzerland, devoid of sanatoriums and winter sports, the Switzerland of edelweiss, William Tell and the Merry Swiss Boy.
Well here I be, and just as happy as an unsteamed clam. The sky is a rather dense gray, of a shade that in Southampton would have me humming "Gloomy Sunday" but here seems just another of Maine's little miracles. Of course it helps to have it reflected on the bosom of the bay (which would place its cunt somewhere down around Vinalhaven) where for some reason it picks up a faint purplish flush.


text: Fresh off the stage at the Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini will show this lightweight version of the Gallardo—dubbed the Superleggera—at the New York auto show. The Superleggera uses carbon and polycarbonate panels to trim the Gallardo's weight by about 150 lbs. It also gets a 10-hp bump in power to 530. Lambo says that's enough to hit 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. We hear Lamborghini will offer other special editions of its cars nearly every year to keep the lineup fresh. Sounds good to us. —Ben Stewart

FROM "KAFKIAN ETERNITY WITH FLOWERS AT 7 PM " series - COMPOSITION SIGNED 12 January 2016
spontaneous ink drawing on hard paper
drawing size: 21 x 30 cm / professionally framed - framed size: 32 x 42 x 1 cm
signed January 2016
will be sent with authenticity certificate
This series of artworks refers to the metaphysical approach to space populated by a pot with flowers, a near seen like a section of a personal
temporal eternity, where the vegetative elements are transfigured into the metaphysical, transcendent .Thus, at the limit figuration, the immanents of the light becames oniric reflections and transparents, the flower shape became sphere, within which persist the traces of the pass, of the wear, the cyclicity. The series title, although apparently suggestive, is not refering to the absurdity and anguish prosaic present in Kafka's universe, but rather its starts from the idea of freezing of the personal physical time, by a simple meditative exercise of pure contemplation of the close realities transformed by the passing of time.
For me, as an artist, the still life is a perfect excuse to create a vibrant game between the idea of the volatility and the perennial of the world
that we perceive around us, and the essence of the human spirit: the conscience.
My "flowers" are subtle expressions of a meta-reality, where the viewer is invited to meditation, to exercise his spirit, to discover that energy, that forsure we all have it inside us, that resonates with the silence of the begining of begining.
Review from "ALONE TO THE INVISIBLE TOUCH " Exhibition April 2015
When approaching Ovidiu Kloska's works, our attention focuses on certain elements. The first would be a tireless desire to experiment techniques, bolding plastic ways approaches: installations, graphics, paintings, mixed techniques. "The Wear of the City" is an interesting series; an attempt to use common places, as the artist says, so that by transfiguring them, to reveal the artistic connotations of the urban space and his facets regarding the way of perceiving life beyond the immediate reality. Ovidiu Kloska's creation expresses a restless, but avid spirit that wishes to encompass the best of the visible and invisible material world. Taking into consideration Art History, we can behold, to some extent, what animates the artist towards a Romantic vision or maybe towards a Neo-romantic one which, of course, includes all postmodernist data. His art asserts freedom and his somehow exacerbated desire to express his individuality; but it is even more than that. It is the anguish to include the intangible and to imbed metaphysical meanings within the artistic object. In fact, the term "to imbed" is very inappropriate when discussing Ovidiu Kloska's artistic approach. The images he creates, frequently human images, present a constant fluidity, a non-finite that we encounter in Turner's paintings or in the informal of the abstract painting, although the atmosphere they liberate is different. As even the artist sometimes expresses it in the captions or in the titles given to his works or in the series, the oneiric is an always-present dimension in his visual approach. The dynamism of the form or shape captured in a constant metamorphosis is a change that captivates the viewer and impregnates him with those anxieties that dominate the artist. Maybe "anguish" is not the most appropriate term, since I do not perceive any depressive effect within the universe created by Ovidiu Kloska. There is the unrest that comes with space crossing: cosmic and material spaces, spaces of knowledge. This element really exists: a rush to reach spiritual essences, primary responses. No, answers do not appear to be the subject of his works, but the itinerary towards them, the whole process, along with its internal dynamism. How does he perform it visually? I think that the solutions he offers – the present time solutions, because he does not seem to be an artist who settles for a formula, without exploring beyond it – are quite different, but stylistically unified. First, there is the diversity of materials and, second, the valorizing of plastics. What we have before us, the informal, the abstract-figurative game, the sensing of the decomposing or transforming matter, the halos surrounding the figures, the light and shadow alternation, represent a real exploration of the matter, of the pictorial matter, an affirmation of the material world. However, paradoxically, through the manner in which it is treated, it receives a spiritual dimension, this continuous sliding between the material and the spiritual being the internal dynamic of the image that captivates us. The quick brushing, the gestuality that builds and deconstructs the form, the pictorial vibration of the paste and the contained light or shadow – everything moves vivaciously, soliciting and integrating the viewer in the artistic process that seems to take place in his presence. The artist binds human silhouettes, figures, which he seems to challenge. He binds them in a constantly budding and mysterious universe. It is a creation accomplished under imminent revelations whose approach, captured by the artist, is communicated to us in often surprising images."

Hicken-blooper: Governor's intro slip-up turns press conference blue, faces red
Sometimes that first cup of coffee in the morning isn't enough.
Gov. John Hickenlooper had one of those forehead-slapping moments Wednesday as he was preparing to introduce Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia at an event promoting a literacy initiative and which was held in front of about 40 children from Colfax Elementary School in Denver and featured various fuzzy-outfitted mascots. Hickenlooper, a Democrat, is known as a funny guy, and what came next was meant as a joke, but somehow went wrong quickly.
KOA Radio reporter Jerry Bell was there and captured the audio.
Let's just say it was probably the most interesting press conference on literacy ever held by a Colorado governor, and it established an entirely new level of street credibility for the lieutenant governor.
Hickenlooper: ""Now I get to introduce that rising sex star…(awkward laughter)…symbol. I mean, symbol – not star."
(Continued awkward laughter)
"This might go down as one of my most difficult press conferences in the history of the office."
Hickenlooper frequently refers to his Harley-riding lieutenant governor as a "rock star," and he'd joked moments earlier that Garcia was a "sex symbol."
The slip was reminiscent of one made by President George H.W. Bush, who said, while speaking of Ronald Reagan, "For seven and a half years I've worked alongside him, and I'm proud to have been his partner. We've had triumphs. Made some mistakes. We've had some sex — setbacks."

Would that be Velvet in Tales of Berseria? She was the bustiest of all the ladies in the game.
Quote from: MonCapitan2002 on May 20, 2018, 07:12:16 AMWould that be Velvet in Tales of Berseria? She was the bustiest of all the ladies in the game.Velvet, Milla, Sheena, Tear, Grune, Judith etc. There's usually always someone.
I agree with what was said on the podcast. Sometimes its ok but most of the time its just too much. It is horribly out of place just for fanservice. I dont think it makes ANY game better at all.
The game features a variety of female characters with their cleavages emphasised by their overtly provocative clothing, which often reveal the sides or underside of theiur breasts and obscured genital region. Multiple female characters are also depicted fully nude, with genitals obscured by objects and streams of light throughout the game. Although of indeterminate age, most of these characters are adult-like, with voluptuous bosoms and large cleavages that are flaunted with a variety of skimpy outfits.One character, Urara Rurikawa, is clearly depicted as child-like in comparison with the other female characters. She is flat-chested, physically underdeveloped (particularly visible in her hip region) and is significantly shorter than otehr characters in the game. She also has a child-like voice, wears a school uniform-esque outfit and appears naive in her outlook on life.At one point in the game, Urara Rurikawa and a friend are referred to as "the younger girls" by one of the game's main characters. In the Boards opinion, the character of Urara Rurikawa is a depiction of a person who is, or appears to be, a child under 18 years.In some gameplay modes, including the "awakening" mode, the player is able to touch the breasts, buttocks, mouths and genital regions of each character, including Urara Rurikawa, while they are in sexualised poses, receiving positive verbal feedback for interactions which are implied to be pleasurable for the characters and negative verbal feedback, including lines of dialogue such as "I-It doesn't feel good..." and "Hyah? Don't touch there!," for interactions which are implied to be unpleasurable, implying a potential lack of consent.The aim of these sections is, implicity, to sexually arouse these characters to the point that a "shame break" is activated, in which some of the characters clothing is removed - with genital regions obscured by light and various objects - and the background changes colour as they implicitly orgasm.In one "awakening" mode scenario, thee player interacts with Urara Rurikawa, who is depicted lying down, clutching a teddy bear, with lines of dialogue such as "I'm turning sleepy...", "I'm so sleepy now..." and "I might wake up..." implying that she is drifting in and out of sleep.The player interacts with this child-like character in the same manner as they interact with adult characters, clicking her breasts, buttocks, mouth and genital regions until the "shame break" mode is activated. During this section of the game, with mis-clicks, dialogue can be triggered, in which Urara Rurikawa says, "Stop tickling...", "Stop poking..." and "Th-that feels strange...", implying a lack of consent....In the Board's opinion, the ability to interact with the character Urara Rurikawa in the manner described above constituted a simulation of sexual stimulation of a child.

Disasters such as last summer's wildfires, floods, lightning storms and landslides are "the new normal" consequences of climate change and British Columbia is ill-equipped to protect the public, according to an external review in response to last year's floods and the wildfires that tore through the province.
The report dropped the same day that thousands of people were ordered to evacuate from South Central B.C. due to flooding.
Former cabinet minister George Abbott, who co-authored the report containing 108 recommendations on how to prepare for future devastation, said the province would need to allow the public to join the fight in future disasters....
The effects of the fires can still be seen — and felt — this year as residents are forced to evacuate due to flooding that's been exacerbated by water-absorbing plants being wiped from the landscape. Already, thousands of people have been forced from their homes to escape rising waters and the flood risk has increased through April as more snow fell at higher elevations. ...
Warming temperatures and more extreme weather are predicted to increase the number of major wildfire-starting lightning storms — at the same time the changing climate causes more landslides, more wildfires and greater ice melt flowing over drier land that's more susceptible to flooding. The fires torch water-absorbing plants from the landscape, worsening floods.
While no single forest fire can be 100% directly attributed to climate change, the pattern seen in the 2003 Barriere wildfire that burnt the entire community down; the Slave Lake, Alberta, fire that burnt one third of the town down in 2011; Saskatchewan wildfires that created 13,000 evacuees in 2015; the 2009, 2011 and 2017 Kelowna wildfires that threatened the homes of thousands; and the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire that caused the evacuation of 88,000 people and destroyed thousands of homes, leaves no doubt about how global warming is increasing the length of the fire season, the number and intensity of forest fires, as well as their social and economic costs to communities.
Flooding has also become much more common as torrential downpours, as predicted by global warming models, and warmer spring temperatures lead to faster snow melts and flooding. This year there has been major flooding in central BC, the Chatam-Kent region of Ontario, and in New Brunswick and more is expected as the spring melt continues. Last year Ontario, Quebec faced major flooding. In 2015, 100 mm of rain in one day led to major flooding led extensive flooding in southwestern Alberta.
In 2017, wildfires in BC burnt an area larger than PEI and caused the evacuation of 65,000 people. This year thousands have had to be evacuated in BC due to flooding, and thousands more in New Brunswick have suffered the same fate, with many homes in both provinces destroyed.
Yet we continue down the fossil fuel road having already blown past our 2011 carbon dioxide emission targets, having had to admit we cannot possibly meet our 2020 targets, and most experts agreeing their is little chance we will meet our 2030 targets under both Conservative and Liberal governments. When NDP candidate Linda McQuaig said some of our oilsands, the second largest oil reserves in the world, may have to be left in the ground to prevent global warming, she was criticized extensively, including by some members of her own party.
While I have focused on fires and flooding in this post, there are many problems associated with global warming. I submit that the entire country, not just BC, is ill-prepared to deal with the problems associated with climate change. At least BC has begun to look at mitigating some of these problems. It's not enough but it's a start.

A barium enema, or lower gastrointestinal (GI) examination, is an
X-ray examination of the
large intestine (colon and rectum). The test is used to help diagnose diseases
and other problems that affect the large intestine. To make the intestine
visible on an X-ray picture, the colon is filled with a
contrast material containing barium. This is done by
pouring the contrast material through a tube inserted into the anus. The barium
blocks X-rays, causing the barium-filled colon to show up clearly on the X-ray
There are two types of barium enemas.
In some cases, the single-contrast study may be preferred
for specific medical reasons or for older people who may not be able to
tolerate the time-consuming and somewhat more uncomfortable double-contrast
study. But if the results are not clear, a double-contrast study may also be
A barium enema is done to:
Before a barium enema, tell your
doctor if you:
The preparation for a barium enema usually involves a very
thorough cleansing of the large intestine, because the colon must be completely
clear of stool and gas. Even a small amount of stool can affect the accuracy of
the test.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding
the need for this test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results
will mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the
medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
To make the intestine visible on an
X-ray picture, the colon is filled with a contrast material containing barium.
This is done by pouring the contrast material through a tube inserted into the
anus. The barium blocks X-rays, causing the
barium-filled colon to show up clearly on the X-ray picture.
Your doctor will observe the flow of the barium through
your colon on an X-ray
fluoroscope monitor that is similar to a television
When the test is finished:
A single-contrast study usually takes 30 to 45 minutes,
although the actual time the barium is held inside is only 10 to 15 minutes. A
double- or air-contrast study may take up to an hour.
After the
test, you may resume your regular diet unless otherwise instructed. Be sure to
drink plenty of liquids to replace those you have lost and to help flush the
remaining barium out of your system. Your bowel movements may look white or
pinkish for 1 to 2 days after the test. Your doctor may recommend you take a medicine, such as a
laxative, to help you pass the rest of the barium.
A barium enema procedure can be
uncomfortable and tiring, but usually it does not last very long.
Many people report that the preparation and bowel cleaning are the hardest parts of the test. The laxative may have an unpleasant taste, and the
frequent bowel movements can be tiring. Also, the anal area can become quite
sore during the process. Warm
sitz baths or a local anesthetic salve, such as
Preparation H, can help ease this discomfort.
You may be
embarrassed by the test. You may worry that you won't be able to hold the
barium and that it will leak onto you or onto the table. The doctors who
perform this procedure are accustomed to this and will be able to help
The X-ray table is hard and sometimes cold because
air-conditioning is used to keep the equipment cool. When the barium first
flows into your colon, it may feel a bit cool. As your colon fills, you may
feel a sensation of fullness, moderate cramping, and a strong urge to have a
bowel movement. If an air-contrast study is performed, you may feel increased
cramping or gas pains from having gas pumped into your large intestine. Taking
slow, deep breaths through your mouth can help you relax.
The test may take awhile, so you may want to bring something to do quietly (like a book or magazine to read).
You may
feel tired for a day or so after the test. You should arrange for someone to
drive you home after the test. This test can be exhausting.
There is very little risk of complications from
having a barium enema.

doctor will discuss any significant abnormal results with you in relation to
your symptoms and past health.

On Saturday, April 20th, New Orleans came to the Castello for our Ragin' Cajun party. As the sun went down, the beads and beats came out, and the Castello was transformed into a sizzling scene full of live music, tarot readings, and hot and spicy Cajun foods paired with our Castello wines!
The main event featured Gator Beat, a high-energy Zydeco and New Orleans R&B band based out of Sonoma. They kept the Cajun beats going throughout the evening out in our courtyard, where guests dressed in their best Creole "style" danced the night away.
In all I'd say it was a "ragin'" success, but you can see for yourself in the photos below!
You know it's going to be a great night when Fantasia is flowing!

So many good things in one pot!
All of the delicious Creole cuisine at the party was provided for our guests by Oak Avenue Catering. Ca c'est bon!
Way to rock that New Orleans style!
The featured cocktail of the evening was the "Hurricane di Amorosa," a tantalizingly effervescent mix of our Fantasia with orange sorbet. Santé!
Who wants to hear their future? Tarot card readings in the chapel.
Feelin' the love!

I love Taiwan. Really, I do. I even like Hsinchu most days of the week. But sometimes the weather makes me want to pack my suitcase and take off to a tropical haven where the sun always shines, the sky is good 'ol Carolina blue, and the wind doesn't knock you off your feet. This past week of thunderstorms was one of those times. Which, as a side note, especially sucks when you are driving a scooter around town. Why has no one marketed a scooter helmet that comes with windshield wipers?
Anyway, this especially bad spell of weather was poorly timed as we were supposed to head to Long Dong over the weekend so Dan could finish off his lead climbing class. Long Dong is the most famous place to do some outdoor rock climbing in Taiwan, and coveted across Asia as one of the best locations for coastal climbing. Unfortunately, heavy rain doesn't mix very well with scaling rocks, so we postponed the trip until next month. This left us with the perplexing question of how to spend our Saturday night in Hsinchu. We wanted to do something awesomely out of the ordinary to make up for our cancelled plans, but with crappy weather our options were limited.
The solution? A Scavenger Hunt!
That's right. We hosted the first annual CruisingCouple scavenger hunt in Hsinchu, complete with a whopping four participants, including Dan and I. (It was sort of a last minute idea.) We set out on the town with a list of ten things to photograph in one hour. The losers had to purchase the beer tower at dinner afterwards, enough of an incentive to get a bit competitive. Here were a few of the things on our list:
1. Photograph at least one Taiwanese person sitting on your scooter. Bonus points for extra people.
2. Take a picture with a wig
3. Borrow somebody's 'fake' glasses and take a picture with them. Glasses with no lenses are all the rage in Taiwan.
4. Find a man with no teeth. (See our note on this one below.)
5. Plank somewhere awesome. Quick note on the picture below: That is Dan planking on the East Gate. You aren't actually allowed up there, but being the ridiculous climber he is, Dan managed to quickly clamber to the top in time for a snapshot. I still don't understand how Mr. Stealth did it so smoothly and quickly.
6. Take a picture on a police scooter, hopefully not as a consequence of planking somewhere illegal.
7. Eat stinky Tofu
8. Play DDR with a Taiwanese person
9. Collect at least 5 business cards. (Business cards are a very important thing to Taiwanese people. Often when you meet someone they will offer their business card to you, which you are expected to accept with two hands.)
10. Dance Walk. If you haven't seen the YouTube video here, check it out. Unfortunately we didn't have a video camera with us, but we met a pretty awesome dance team that was more than happy to give us some lessons on their dance routine.
In the hour that we designated as official hunting time, we managed to procure 8 and ½ out of the ten items. Ironically, the one time we actually wanted to smell stinky tofu from a few blocks away, the stuff was nowhere to be found, so we weren't able to check that off our list. The ½ point was because the old man with 'no teeth' actually had one tooth, but he smiled with his mouth closed anyway. Regardless, we still came in 1st, avoiding the ever dreadful fate of buying beer.
Our conclusions:
- Taiwanese people are awesome. We knew this before, and continue to be reminded daily, that Taiwanese must be some of the most friendly people on the planet. They were more than happy to participate in our activities, especially after we tried to convey in Chinese that we were in a 'race'. One of my favorite parts about living in Taiwan is the ease in which you can engage with the locals, not to mention the fact that Taiwanese people want to help foreigners living in their country. It's a beautiful thing.
- We need to go bigger and bolder. As we mentioned, this was a last minute-I have a great idea-okay let's go sort of a thing. But we think it would be awesome to get a lot more people together to do a lot more things on another occasion. So, if you are interested, you should let us know!

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia: Online activists in Saudi Arabia are calling for harsher punishments for child abuse after reports that a prominent cleric received only a light sentence after confessing to the beating death of his 5-year-old daughter.
The social media campaign gaining momentum today is the latest attempt to use the Internet to pressure the kingdom's ultraconservative rulers.
Saudi media reports say Fayhan al-Ghamdi, a frequent guest on Islamic TV programs, was arrested in November on charges of killing the girl.
The reports said he questioned the child's virginity.
Saudi media say he was freed last week after serving a short prison term and agreeing to pay $50,000 in blood money to avoid a possible death sentence.
