Harry Potter: Hermione's Exploits Part 2 - Back Together
by Big Red Dope (bg,Mbbg,g-mast,elf,fist,inc,anal)
Ginny sat at the dining table a bit from Harry and Ron and slowly ate as she
watched them eat. More so as she watched Harry eat. Once at the brink of
death, Harry had saved her and the others who were petrified by killing the
basilisk and Tom Riddle. Harry was once again a hero at Hogwarts and Ginny's
infatuation with him only intensified.
Eating was momentarily interrupted as Hermione entered the dining room and
everyone stopped to watch as she and Harry hugged, then she shook hands with
Ron. Ginny sighed heavily resigning to the idea that Harry was probably more
interested in Hermione. She sighed once again and ate the rest of her meal
in silence. Ginny finished before everyone else and quietly left the dining
room trying not to be seen.
She returned to her room and decided that she wanted to be alone so she
cast a spell on the door's lock. Ginny sat down on her bed and pulled out
a picture of Harry she had stolen from Ron. She looked at the picture for
several minutes and desperately wanted to be with Harry, but this was as
close as she was going to get for now she thought.
It what became an almost regular event for Ginny when she looked at Harry's
picture and thought about him, she could feel her pussy start to tingle and
dirty thoughts of Harry began to race through her head.
Ginny stripped of all her clothes and lay back on her bed. She closed her
eyes and as thoughts of Harry sticking his shaft into her mouth raced through
her head, Ginny's hand unconsciously slid down between her legs and she began
to rub her clit. It swelled with each touch, and Ginny continued to get
hornier as she thought of Harry pumping his cock into her mouth. In her mind
Ginny could sense how excited Harry was as she ran her tongue over his shaft
occasionally tickling his scrotum.
Ginny stuck two fingers into her hairless pussy as she felt the imaginary
Harry bust his load and shoot cum all over the inside of her mouth. She then
licked her lips clean and giggled with a big grin as Harry then pushed his
cock into her pussy splitting it open.
Faster and deeper Ginny dug her fingers into her love box as slight moans
escaped her lips and her dirty dream continued. Harry now had his hands
around her hips and was pumping deep and hard into her pussy. Back in
reality Ginny stuck a third finger into her tiny cunny and her body was now
twitching and burning up with passion as she continued to finger herself.
"Oh Harry... Fuck me hard! Cum for me!" Ginny groaned loudly as she could
feel Harry's balls slapping against her ass and the vaginal pounding he was
giving her.
"OH my god!" Ginny shouted as her body started to shake with orgasm. She
felt her girl cum start to squirt out all over her fingers as her dream
Harry pulled his cock out and started coming a second time. This time all
over her belly and very small breasts.
Ginny was startled back to reality when she heard a loud pounding on her
bedroom door and Ron's voice.
"Ginny you alright! You're friends said the door was locked and I heard
screaming just now!"
"I'm fine Ron! I just want to be alone right now!"
"Are you sure? Open the door and let me in."
"Alright hold on," Ginny replied as she quickly dressed and hid Harry's
picture. She then cast a spell to hide the cumstain and smell that was now
on her bedsheets. When all was right Ginny released the spell on the door
and let Ron into her room.
"What's going on Ginny?" Ron asked closing the door behind him.
"What do you mean?"
"Like I said I heard some yelling and your door was locked."
"Really Ron it was nothing. I just wanted to be alone and I fell asleep for
a few minutes. I had a dream about the basilisk. That's why you heard me
"Oh I see... Very well then I'll be going..." Ron said before turning and
heading towards the door. Ginny started to sigh in relief thinking she
avoided something uncomfortable with Ron.
"Oh, next time you might want to use a stronger spell to hide that stain,"
Ron called back.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please don't tell Harry!" Ginny gasped.
"Who said anything about Harry?" Ron asked as he turned facing his sister
and leaned against the door with a grin on his face. A look of petrified
horror crossed Ginny's face.
"Don't worry about it Ginny, everybody knows you like Harry, just not that
you have your dirty dreams about him."
"Please don't tell him Ron! Please!" Ginny begged.
"Don't worry about it I won't say anything. It's almost kinda cute in a
twisted sort of way."
"Thanks Ron... Does Harry like Hermione a lot?"
"Of course he does, they're friends."
"I mean like really like her, like boyfriend and girlfriend and doing things
I heard the older kids talking about? Sex I mean."
"We're all too young to be having sex anyways, so I don't know why you're
asking about it, but as far as I know the friendship they show in school is
all I know of. Besides I don't even know why I'm talking to you about this.
This is gross."
Ginny's face nearly lit up at Ron's response.
"Good then that means, I can make Harry my boyfriend before Hermione does if
I let him stick his thingy in me."
"What the bloody hell are you talking about Ginny?"
"If I can have sex with Harry before Hermione does, then he'll be my
boyfriend for sure. But I've never done anything before, I might be bad at
it and he'll still go to Hermione. I need to practice..."
Ginny thought for a moment before looking up at Ron.
"No, no! Absolutely not!" Ron began to protest. "You're my sister!"
"Why not?" Ginny frowned. "I want Harry to be mine! Besides, you know that
diary you think nobody knows about? I found it one day, and I know how much
you want Hermione."
"I don't care, the answer's still no!"
"Well fine then I'll have to tell Hermione and Harry all about your diary."
"You wouldn't," Ron said challenging her bluff.
"I don't want to Ron, but please? It'll help us both get what we want."
Ron thought long and hard about it for several minutes and with the desperate
look in his sister's eyes he gave in.
"Alright... You win," Ron conceded sitting down on the edge of Ginny's bed.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Just sit there and take your clothes off," Ginny said as she started to
remove her uniform.
Ron sat naked on Ginny's bed while he waited for her to finished stripping.
When she did she walked towards Ron and got on her knees.
Acting on what she heard the older students say and what her own fantasies
entailed Ginny started by rubbing Ron's cock up an down with her hand. Even
if it was his sister's hand, the touch of one other than his own caused Ron's
member to harden immediately.
"So that's how they get so big," Ginny replied as her hand continued to
stroke the enlarged prick in front of her.
"Uh... You almost done?" Ron asked nervously.
"Not yet, you know that. If I was Hermione what would you want her to do
"Umm... I'd want her to suck my dick," Ron answered half wanting to stop this
right now, half being too turned on to care at the moment.
It didn't take Ginny long to act as Ron suddenly felt her lips wrap around
his dick and start to move up and down it.
"Oh my god Ginny..." Ron groaned as he felt her tongue slither up the bottom
of his shaft and kept sliding up and down keeping him moist.
Ron closed his eyes and his dirty dream of Hermione started up as he watched
her give him a blowjob. At the same time Ginny began thinking of Harry and
how big his dick might be in her mouth and neither cared when Ron began to
force Ginny's head quickly and forcefully onto his member.
"Mmmmmmm..." Groans and slurps escaped Ginny's mouth as Ron's cock quickly
slid in and out between her lips.
"Hermione! I'm fixing to cuuuuuuuuuum!" Ron grimaced as his body started to
ache and his dick exploded.
Ron felt shot after shot unload as his cum pelted the back Ginny's mouth.
When he was done coming in Hermione's mouth and Ginny was finished swallowing
Harry's load, both opened their eyes and returned to reality.
"Oh my god Ginny, that was awesome!" Ron smiled.
"See? You can fantasize about Hermione again if it still bothers you. I was
thinking of Harry just now."
"If you want to we can," Ron replied. "I have things to teach and learn
from you."
"Good. So you'll stick your dick in my cunny so I'll be ready for Harry?"
Ron only replied with a smile as and he and Ginny switched places. With her
on the bed Ron lifted his sister's legs up and over his shoulders as he
guided himself to her tiny opening. Slowly but sure Ron inched himself inside
of Ginny before quickly bumping into her hymen.
"This will hurt a bit I heard, but at least it won't get in the way when
you're with Harry."
With one strong thrust Ron popped Ginny's cherry and she let out a small
whimper. He finally bottomed out and started to pull his cock out.
"You thinking about Harry," Ron asked as he started to pump his prick in and
out of Ginny's pussy.
"No," she panted between breaths, "You thinking about Hermione?"
"No, just thinking that even if I come to love Hermione and you love Harry,
I'll always care for you. You're my sister after all."
"Thanks... Ron..." Ginny groaned as her vaginal walls stretched with Ron's
pounding cock.
With lust filling the room and Ron slamming his prick hard into Ginny's cunt
both failed to hear the bedroom door open and shut.
"Ah, Ah! Ginny I'm fixing to come!" Ron shouted as his prick continued to
slam her cunt.
"I'm coming now! My body burns!" Ginny cried as she had her second orgasm
of the night. It was a wetter and sloppier than the first and it created a
cum stain nearly three times the size of the first one.
"Here it comes Ginny!" Ron gasped one last time as white streams of cum
started to shoot out from his prick a second time. Cum splashed down all
over Ginny's stomach and some even reached her still flat chest.
"Was I good? Will Harry be my boyfriend?" Ginny asked when Ron fell onto
the bed next to her.
"You were great Ginny. I don't see how he could say no," Ron smiled as he
propped himself up on the bed.
"You really shouldn't be screwing your own sister Ron," Harry said leaning
against the bedroom door.
"Harry! What, what are you doing here?" Ron stammered as he fell out of the
bed trying to dress.
"I could ask you the same thing, but I already know the answer. I saw Ginny
leave the dining hall early and I just wanted to come by and see if
everything was alright."
"Harry please don't tell anyone! I made him fuck me so I could learn to be
good enough for you and be your girlfriend!" Ginny pleaded.
"Don't worry about it. I won't be telling anyone anything, though do you
really want to be my girlfriend?"
"Hmm..." Harry thought to himself as he looked Ginny up and down then started
to massage her barely developed chest. "Ron go get Hermione."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, go get Hermione and bring her back here."
After Ron dressed and left the room Harry cast a lock spell on the door.
Ginny watched nervously as he stripped and then sat down on her bed. Harry
stroked his cock for a few minutes and when it was nice and hard he ordered
her to suck it.
Like she did earlier to Ron, Ginny started by jacking off Harry. She then
felt his prick grow bigger as she wrapped her lips around it and began to
bob her head up and down.
"Good girl, I bet Ron liked this alot," Harry moaned as he felt Ginny's wet
tongue slither up and down his shaft like a snake.
She may have been new, but Ginny sure knew how to suck cock Harry thought as
Ginny slobbered all over his knob for several more minutes. He so wanted to
come, but then he looked down and saw something he liked better.
"Stand up and turn around Ginny."
She did as she was told and when her cute little ass came into sight Harry
grabbed a cheek with each hand and began squeeze and massage it.
"I bet Ron didn't tell you how nice your butt looked did he?"
"No he didn't."
"Well he should have, because it's very nice. So nice in fact that I want
to fuck it."
Harry lay back on Ginny's bed with his hardened dick pointing straight up.
"Now stand above me with your back to me and slowly lower yourself down.
I'll do the rest."
Climbing onto the bed and placing her ass right above Harry's dick, Ginny
slowly lowered herself down and felt Harry's hands grab her asscheeks again.
This time he spread them apart revealing her virgin anus.
Having a cock split her ass and force it's way inside, felt about the same
as when she lost her virginity to Ron earlier in the night. It was tight and
hurt a bit at first, but as Ginny continued to rise up and down on Harry the
pain in her ass soon turned to pleasure.
"Oh Harry! This feels very nice too!" Ginny exclaimed as Harry's shaft
continued to press up and down into her rectum.
"Oh very good! That's what I wanted to hear!" Harry grimaced in delight.
"You should show Ron this one day. He'll like it just like you do."
The tingling sensation that Ginny had experienced with Ron was now starting
with Harry.
"Harry my body burns I really need to touch myself," Ginny begged.
"No problem Ginny," Harry said as he pulled out long enough for her to get
on all fours on the bed and he got behind her plugging her asshole back up.
"How's this?"
"Oh god! Harder Harry!" Ginny yelled as slipped a finger into her vagina
and furiously began dipping it in and out.
"You're so good Ginny! You make me want to come like no other!" Harry
screamed as he bottomed out his prick in her anus and began shooting his hot
sticky cum all over the inside of her asshole.
"HARRY!" Ginny shouted as she continued to finger fuck herself even though
her body gave out and she started coming all over her hand and bedsheets
When things finally calmed down after a few minutes Harry laid next to Ginny
on her bed. He leapt from the bed when there was a knock at the door.
"Ask who it is," Harry whispered to Ginny.
"Who is it?" Ginny called out.
"It's me Ron."
Harry removed his spell from the door only long enough for Ron, Hermione,
and Dobby to come in.
"What's going on? Why's Dobby here?" Ginny asked.
"I hear you're growing into a big girl, and want Harry to be your boyfriend,"
Hermione replied with a wicked smile.
"Yes..." Ginny replied almost mumbling.
"You're not old enough to be Harry's girlfriend yet, and he doesn't really
want one it seems, but you're more than welcome to hang out with him or
Hermione even if I'm not around," Ron said.
"When will I be old enough?" Ginny asked curiously.
"When you can do this," Dobby answered.
Harry started first by lying down on Ginny's bed. Hermione and Ron removed
their uniform's and Hermione acting much like Ginny just had lowered herself
down onto Harry's cock except Hermione slipped it into her pussy. With
Hermione leaning forward almost laying on Harry's chest, Ron climbed on the
bed behind her and pushed his prick inside her cunt as well touching Harry's
dick as it slid inside.
Ginny stared in amazement as Ron and Harry started their dp fucking of
Hermione's pussy. Groans of ecstasy escaped from her lips as a smile
crossed her face. Ginny's jaw dropped when Dobby then leapt onto the
bed with a rockhard cock that was nearly three times the size of Ron and
Harry and pushed it into Hermione's mouth.
Ginny had to sit down on a chair when she got horny watching the foursome
in front of her. She managed to slip three fingers into her pussy and she
started to really get wet again as pants and moans left the sweaty bodies
of the three humans and the house elf. With Ron breaking her in, her
horniness, and her wetness, Ginny was soon able to slip her entire hand
into her pussy and began to fist herself.
Being a bit of a slut and constantly horny, the two prick's in her pussy and
the one in her mouth aroused Hermione to the point that her body start to
shake ferociously as she orgasmed. Her body didn't care about the orgasm
and kept up with Hermione as she continued sucking and fucking.
Little to no of Hermione's cum escaped her pussy as it instead sloshed all
over Ron and Harry.
"Dobby going to come," Dobby said pulling his dick from Hermione's mouth.
"Me too!" Harry and Ron shouted simultaneously both removing themselves
from Hermione.
"Cum all over my face!" Hermione shouted excitedly as she smiled watching
Harry, Ron, and Dobby jack themselves off right in front of her face.
Ron was the first to blow his load quickly followed by a simultaneous spray
from Harry and Dobby. Ginny shoved her fist deep into her cunt one last
time as she watched Hermione's face get bombarded from three loads of cum
all over her face and hair. She then orgasmed for a third time that night
when she saw Hermione wipe the white goo from her face with her hand and
lick it clean.
Exhausted from all the sex that night Ginny just watched as she lay back
naked in the chair. Ron, Hermione, and Harry all used spells to clean and
straighten up the room and each other.
"I'll take care of the rest here," Ron told the others.
"Ok, but be sure you clean your sister thoroughly and I'll see you back at
the room," Harry called back as he and Hermione left the room with Dobby.
"So how was your first night?" Ron asked as he cast a spell on his sister
and she was suddenly clean and dressed.
"It was great, especially with Harry, but I thought you said we shouldn't
even be talking about sex?"
"I just wanted to make sure this was something you wanted to do. To be
honest I was quite nervous when I was fucking you, because I wanted your
first time to be nice and since you've started coming here I've found you
very attractive and I had been looking forward to this night with you for
awhile. Anyways, you look tired. You need to get to be and get some
"Yeah I think I will go to bed now..."
"Good. I'll see you tomorrow," Ron said as he headed for the door.
"Hey Ron?" Ginny called from her bed.

Some more Crocs...
Ok, so.. let me introduce you to Kyle (name will change later I think).. the Red Crocodile. He's Grumpy and not happy..
I think I get to the point where I have to move on to other characters.. I'll come back to him later and decide where I wanna go with the design. I'm quite happy with the stumpy shape so far. Will have to explore a bit more though.
I'm still planning to do my usual pencil drawing for the final illustrations, but it's always good to let myself free in the beginning of the process :)
some silhouettes:
and some more pencil, pen & ink sketches:
I hope you enjoy. I'll post another character soon - promise it won't be a croc. :)

Ember Day
Psalm 59
Rescue me from my enemies, O my God; set me high above those that rise up against me. Save me from the evildoers and from murderous foes deliver me. For see how they lie in wait for my soul and the mighty stir up trouble against me. Not for any fault or sin of mine, O Lord; for no offence, they run and prepare themselves for war.
Rouse yourself, come to my aid and see; for you are the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel. Awake, and judge all the nations; show no mercy to the evil traitors. They return at nightfall and snarl like dogs and prowl about the city. They pour out evil words with their mouths; swords are on their lips; 'For who', they say, 'can hear us?'
But you laugh at them, O Lord; you hold all the nations in derision. For you, O my strength, will I watch; you, O God, are my strong tower.
My God in his steadfast love will come to me; he will let me behold the downfall of my enemies. Slay them not, lest my people forget; send them reeling by your might and bring them down, O Lord our shield. For the sins of their mouth, for the words of their lips, let them be taken in their pride. For the cursing and falsehood they have uttered, consume them in wrath, consume them till they are no more. And they shall know that God rules in Jacob, and to the ends of the earth.
And still they return at nightfall and snarl like dogs and prowl about the city. Though they forage for something to devour, and howl if they are not filled, Yet will I sing of your strength and every morning praise your steadfast love; For you have been my stronghold, my refuge in the day of my trouble.
To you, O my strength, will I sing; for you, O God, are my refuge, my God of steadfast love.
Psalm 63
O God, you are my God; eagerly I seek you; my soul is athirst for you. My flesh also faints for you, as in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. So would I gaze upon you in your holy place, that I might behold your power and your glory.
Your loving-kindness is better than life itself and so my lips shall praise you. I will bless you as long as I live and lift up my hands in your name. My soul shall be satisfied, as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips, When I remember you upon my bed and meditate on you in the watches of the night. For you have been my helper and under the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.
My soul clings to you; your right hand shall hold me fast. But those who seek my soul to destroy it shall go down to the depths of the earth; Let them fall by the edge of the sword and become a portion for jackals. But the king shall rejoice in God: all those who swear by him shall be glad, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
Genesis 43.1-15
Now the famine was severe in the land. And when they had eaten up the grain that they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, 'Go again, buy us a little more food.' But Judah said to him, 'The man solemnly warned us, saying, "You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you." If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy you food; but if you will not send him, we will not go down, for the man said to us, "You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you." ' Israel said, 'Why did you treat me so badly as to tell the man that you had another brother?'
They replied, 'The man questioned us carefully about ourselves and our kindred, saying, "Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?" What we told him was in answer to these questions. Could we in any way know that he would say, "Bring your brother down"?' Then Judah said to his father Israel, 'Send the boy with me, and let us be on our way, so that we may live and not die—you and we and also our little ones. I myself will be surety for him; you can hold me accountable for him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame for ever. If we had not delayed, we would now have returned twice.'
Then their father Israel said to them, 'If it must be so, then do this: take some of the choice fruits of the land in your bags, and carry them down as a present to the man—a little balm and a little honey, gum, resin, pistachio nuts, and almonds. Take double the money with you. Carry back with you the money that was returned in the top of your sacks; perhaps it was an oversight. Take your brother also, and be on your way again to the man; may God Almighty grant you mercy before the man, so that he may send back your other brother and Benjamin. As for me, if I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.' So the men took the present, and they took double the money with them, as well as Benjamin. Then they went on their way down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
Galatians 6
My friends, if anyone is detected in a transgression, you who have received the Spirit should restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness. Take care that you yourselves are not tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ. For if those who are nothing think they are something, they deceive themselves. All must test their own work; then that work, rather than their neighbour's work, will become a cause for pride. For all must carry their own loads.
Those who are taught the word must share in all good things with their teacher.
Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit. So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith.
See what large letters I make when I am writing in my own hand! It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that try to compel you to be circumcised—only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. Even the circumcised do not themselves obey the law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may boast about your flesh. May I never boast of anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything; but a new creation is everything! As for those who will follow this rule—peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
From now on, let no one make trouble for me; for I carry the marks of Jesus branded on my body.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.
The Collect
Almighty God, whose Son Jesus Christ fasted forty days in the wilderness, and was tempted as we are, yet without sin: give us grace to discipline ourselves in obedience to your Spirit; and, as you know our weakness, so may we know your power to save; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

|Good Aim With A Gun, excellent actress.
|Portrayed By
|Little Rock -
|Abigail Breslin
Little Rock is the little sister of Krista, who is better known as Wichita. Before the outbreak, she and Krista were con artists, scamming dumb men out of money, usualy by pretending costume jewelry were ring engaugement rings. She was a fan of Hannah Montana, getting into arguements with Tallahassee about his lack of knowledge about it. She didn't know who Bill Murray was (annoying to hardcore fans like Tallahasse) or Gandi.
Two months after the outbreak, she and Krista were hiding out in a grocery store with three fat zombies inside, keeping safe in the basement. They awaited someone to come save them as they lacked the supplies to kill the zombies on their own. With the arrival of Tallahassee and Columbus, she recieved her codename and lied that she had been biten by one of the zombies. They then turned the tables on the boys by taking their guns and weapons. Removing their luggage from Tallahassee's car, they stole it.
Eventualy the car broke down and they laid another trap from some other sucker to come help them. However, the end result this time was that the four of them would team up until reaching Pacific Playland in California. Stopping at a trading post, they killed the zombie inside and destroyed the building in a manic burst of joy. They arrived in Bill Murray's mansion, where she repeatedly ticked off Tallahasse by not knowing who he was. She and Columbus found Murray's private theater and began watching Ghost Busters. MId-movie, she was pestered by Columbus about what kind of guys Krista liked, given him answers.
Bill Murray himself entered, dressed as a zombie, but was shot by Columbus and died. They gave him and shooting-salute funeral and proceeded to do what they pleased with his belonigins. She then practiced firing her gun with Tallahassee, forming a father-daughter bond with him at the same time Krista was becoming romanticly attracted to Columbus. Both fearing attachment, they fled that morning for their destinataion. However, they made the mistake of turning on all the attractions at night, luring all the zombies in town to them. They ended up trap at the top of a tower ride, shooting zombies until they ran out of ammo. Luckily Tallahassee and Columbus arrived, killing the zombies and saving them.
She rewarded her new father-figure witha Twinkie she found earlier. They all drove off to continue their lives in Zombieland, as a surrogate family.

Room 8, the Joshua Tree Inn.
Driving from VEGAS to LA, we stopped for a night in Joshua Tree, staying in Room 8 at the Joshua Tree Inn, where Gram Parsons sadly partied out back in 1973. For those who don't know the backstory: Gram (short for Ingram, awesome name alert) was a country rocker who played with the Byrds, the Rolling Stones and both solo and with his own band The Flying Burrito Brothers. I've always had a soft spot for Gram, ever since a cute boy called Simon, who had a hare lip, put Hot Burrito #1 on a mixtape for me when I was about sixteen. But I digress.
I'd popped my head around the door of The Joshua Tree Inn years earlier but felt a bit like a death tourist. I'd always regretted not staying there though, so when we needed somewhere to stay on this trip I look it up and lo; the room was for rent, in its original condition and with its link to Gram actually celebrated. So I booked it. In the nights leading up to staying there I was slightly apprehensive, thinking I'd be creeped out and wouldn't be able to sleep.
Au contraire. On the night we rolled up from Vegas it was just getting dark as we arrived. The owners had left us a note taped to the door telling us to go straight 'round the back to our room. Picking our way past the aloes and cactus, we found room 8, which opens onto a pretty courtyard, and let ourselves in.
There were framed pictures of Gram all over the room as well as plectrums, notes and little bits of memorabilia fans had left, guestbooks filled with tributes and a stereo with mix CDs. There was a door that opened on to a small little yard with loungers and chairs. Time for a party, basically!
We walked over the highway to the shop for supplies. Tequila and a six pack later, we laid outside listening to Gram, staring up at the stars. Between us we saw six shooting stars. It was so incredibly awesome. I totally felt like I was partying with Gram, the energy in the room was incredible. Passing out early, I got the best night of sleep I'd had in ages. (Btw, this isn't soft-focus, I think there was suncream on the lens!)
Then a morning in the beautiful desert sun with this as my view as I showered next to the pool...
There is a lot of myth surrounding what happened to Gram after his death. His family wanted him to be buried in South Carolina and the body was taken to the airport, however his mates knew that would not be what he wanted and so, completely drunk, they drove to the airport in a hearse, stole his body and took it out to the Joshua Tree National Park, apparently giving him an impromptu cremation, a huge fireball, at a rock called Cap Rock. We drove out to visit his memorial. This is Cap Rock.
Tributes to Gram.
Engraved in the rock.
Isn't he gorgeous? I've got the biggest crush on him, especially now we've hung out. I'm especially loving this album of his at the moment, Another Side of This Life, recorded in Greenwich Village in the early sixties, very influenced by Fred Neil, another big favourite of mine... This song in particular is wonderful, it's almost jazzy. I don't need to say RIP, this dude is still partying out in Joshua Tree...
Edited to add: I found this amazing footage of Gram singing my favourite of his songs, Hot Burrito #1. Stick with it. The bit where he puts his sunglasses on slays me!

Raith Rovers manager Ray McKinnon says Hibernian counterpart Alan Stubbs was just looking for excuses in the wake of his team's 1-0 defeat in Kirkcaldy on Wednesday.
Hibs' promotion prospects are in the balance ahead of the quarter-final play-off return leg at Easter Road tomorrow following the defeat which Stubbs put down to a poor pitch and poor refereeing.
McKinnon, while lauding the efforts this season of a man he holds in high regard, believes Stubbs' griping was a symptom of the strain he and his club have been placed under by what is at stake as they seek to avoid a third season outside Scotland's top flight.
"That is pressure, blaming everything apart from not getting a result," McKinnon said. "I never see Stubbsy like that and I know him really well and get on great with him.
"I accept it and, when he woke on the morning after the game, he probably thought twice about blaming this and blaming that. It was the same for us. I thought the referee didn't give us some decisions – it's part and parcel of football.
"There's pressure attached to what he's doing and how he handles it is important to him. There's no pressure on me. I had a cup of tea with me on the bench and cruised through that game.
"I can see there's pressure for them. I could see their bench, it was animated and they were calling for everything, chasing everything, chasing down the fourth official. If he's blaming the park and things like that then that, for me, is deflecting and that tells me there's pressure, it's as simple as that."
Yet, despite pressure that has been ramped up by a loss McKinnon acknowledges "makes life very nervous for Hibs, no doubt" in their home leg, the Raith manager has not been impressing on his players that they can capitalise on twitchiness from both home players and fans at Easter Road. The infamous brittleness attributed to Hibs when faced with a major test will not feature in his team talk at lunchtime tomorrow.
"To be honest, I've never used that. Because I actually don't believe in it," McKinnon said. "I think it's something people have created. From the outside, people can say they're weak, blah-blah-blah, talk about 'doing a Hibs'. I just think pressure is pressure. And there is pressure on that club. That's just a fact.
"They are a massive, massive club with a great squad, an expensively-assembled squad – and they need to be playing Premiership football. Our pressure is can we progress to the next round? If we can do that, what a bonus that is, the club will make a few quid from the extra home gate.
"I don't feel that pressure at all. I can say that honestly. I was quite calm on the bench last night… I think."

The Food Fight - Forecasting the Future Impact of Genetically Modified Crops on Caloric Intake
Research Abstract
Hunger in Africa, especially in the sub-Saharan region, is one of the direst situations in the world both currently and in the future. Caloric deficits already plague the region, but in the next ten years, population growth is expected to outpace food production at rates that will drastically increase the deficits. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), specifically GM crops, have the potential to narrow or eliminate caloric deficits in sub-Saharan Africa by increasing crop yields and output. How will GMOs affect the future of Africa from a business standpoint, and most of all, how effective will they be in solving the hunger problem? To help answer these questions, we created a model that combines inputs of hectares planted of GMO and non GMO crops, their yields, and the projected population of specific countries in Africa in order to estimate how many calories could be produced per person based on different levels of GMO integration. This model and our analysis showed that the integration of current GMO technology would improve caloric output, but not at the pace necessary to keep up with population growth. Moreover, GMO implementation is not likely to exceed 90% of planted hectares in the next ten years because of limited infrastructure, acceptance, and investment. The benefits of introducing current GMO technology will be marginal, and the drastic caloric deficits will persist unless new technological breakthroughs in nutrition or farming methods are developed.

JAMAICA | Gov't wants to Kill Fitz Jackson's Banking Fees Bill?
- Written by wiredja Online News
- Published in Business & Economy
- 0 comments
Acting House leader Everald Warmington moved a motion that debate on the bill be suspended. However, the Opposition called for a divide resulting in a vote that saw 30 government members supporting the motion while 21 opposition legislators said 'no'. Eleven members were absent.
Jackson demanded that the Government complete debate on the bill however the House Leader said he would not be "bullied".
After heated a discussion Mr. Warmington gave the Government's commitment to complete deliberations on the bill at the next sitting of the Lower House.
However, two government members gave clear indications that the bill now before the House would end up on the scrap heap.
Jackson rubbished a claim by Attorney General Marlene Malahoo Forte that the Attorney General's Chambers could not express an opinion on the bill because it lacked a policy framework in response to a charge by Jackson that her department did not provide assistance in reviewing the bill.
Jackson informed that the bill was being introduced as a Private Members Motion and not the government hence no policy direction was necessary.
In opening debate on the bill, Jackson said he submitted the bill to the Attorney General's Department to get its stamp of approval, but this was not forthcoming. "It come to your office for you to sign off on it and up until now, for three months ... . I asked if it was attended to, and the answer is 'no'. I asked if I should go ahead in the House and I was told I can.
"I am saying this out of deep disappointment and frustration because I can't fathom how a matter like this, after being in this House for so long, found such difficulty. What we are talking about? It's the people's money, that's what this bill is all about," said Jackson.
He appealed to the House leader to treat the re-tabled bill with the same urgency as the Government does with critical pieces of proposed laws.
Leader of the Opposition Dr Peter Phillips said the process being taken by the Government to address the urgent concerns in the bill could take years before new legislation comes to Parliament to regulate bank fees.
"In that three years and four years that he is asking us to wait, pensioners are going to find their savings disappear. The fee structure is going to continue to take away poor people's money.
The small business people is going to suck salt out of wooden spoon all because of a device, for some contrivance that is being developed to delay the passage of a good bill supported by you," said Phillips to Samuda, who had earlier advised that the provisions in the bill were being incorporated into a policy that would later be crafted into law.
Jackson accused Samuda, of being reluctant to sanction the banks, and of trying to delay passage of the Bill.
Samuda told the House that following discussions between the Bank of Jamaica and the banks a settlement of the issue was being sought.
Jackson had told his parliamentary colleagues that he had retained a team of lawyers to take out a lawsuit against financial institutions that extract fees from dormant accounts.
He said the dormancy fee constituted a breach of the current banking law.
Jackson's bill arose out of a select committee of the House of Representatives on the economy and production in 2015, which felt that the banks were going much too far in increasing their fees.
The committee's discussions on the issue were fuelled by widespread public disapproval of increasing banking fees and closure of dormant accounts by the commercial banks in 2015.
Jackson had introduced his Private Members Bill which he withdrew May last year, after it spent six months on the table of the House, and promised to re-table it within two-three weeks, complaining of a lack of interest to pass it. He re-tabled it in August last year.
Jackson said he had retained a team of lawyers to take out a lawsuit against financial institutions that extract fees from dormant accounts.
He said the dormancy fee constituted a breach of the current banking law.
Jackson said he is seeking a declaratory judgment from the courts that the fee constitutes a breach of the law.
He also wants the fees deducted from people's accounts to be returned to depositors.
"People have suffered, their lives have been made miserable by the actions of these banks and so damages must come into play."

FR RICHARD ROHR is one of the great inspirations of my life and I'm grateful to my friend Ivon Prefontaine for reminding me recently of Richard's Daily Meditations.
In a series of Meditations on his "lineage", whilst planning the opening of a new Living School for Action and Contemplation Fr Richard's meditation on Sunday read
Orthopraxy in much of Buddhism and Hinduism
Orthopraxy is usually distinguished from orthodoxy. Orthodoxy refers to doctrinal correctness, whereas orthopraxy refers to right practice. What we see in many of the Eastern religions is not an emphasis upon verbal orthodoxy, but instead upon practices and lifestyles that, if you do them (not think about them, but do them), end up changing your consciousness.
This was summed up in the Eighth Core Principle of the Center for Action and Contemplation: We don't think ourselves into a new way of living; we live ourselves into a new way of thinking. I hope that can be a central building block of the Living School.
And – joyfully – today I've been chestily croaking ALLELUIA! upon reading today's thoughts about the witness of art
Unique witness of mythology, poetry, and art
My earliest recordings often included mythological stories, poetry, or art to make the point. Many people are more right-brained learners than left-brained. When you bring in a story, or a poem, or refer to a piece of art, you can see people's interest triple: "Wow, I'm with you!" Whereas, if you stay on the verbal level all the time, their eyes glaze over, they lose interest, they lose fascination and identification with the message.
I don't think Western preachers and teachers have really understood the importance of art in general. Until people can "catch" the message with an inner image, it usually does not go deep. We've also been afraid of myths that weren't Christian. In fact, we were afraid of the very word "myth." We thought it meant something that wasn't true when, in fact, it's something that's always true—if it's a true myth. This will be a very important substratum of the Living School curriculum.
One of the things I most love and admire about Richard Rohr is his generosity of heart, mind, soul and body. He's open to seeing the Divine all around us, open to contemplation and to receiving the Wisdom from traditions other – though as he shows us, not always so very "other" – from his own. I love that Fr Richard balances the importance of both orthodoxy and orthopraxy; that he both thinks deeply and feels profoundly. That, it seems to me, is what the call of Jesus Christ – and of other great spiritual masters and teachers – is really all about. As Richard has it, "living ourselves into a new way of thinking". That's something all of us can do, all of the time, with or without particular religious frameworks – though many, in the living, will thrive in the kind of religious environment that seeks – as the word religion intends (from Latin religare – "to reconnect, to bind together") – to bind up the whole.
My friend Mimi is a generous contemplative – Between Night And Day; as is the marvellous Rebecca Koo – Heads or Tails; and Bill Wooten's – The Present Moment brings a wonderful word from Thomas Merton – and a stunning photo; Francesca Zelnick is as special as her Today's Special; David Herbert is one of my diocesan friends and I love his latest post (and we share affection for Parker Palmer); and Rachael Elizabeth's been having a good time doing Christology and incense-sampling ( ! ) in Durham; James Fielden – always showing us "The Way Home" – meditates exquisitely upon Time; Ginny at "Chasing the Perfect Moment" writes about Re-creation; Ria Gandhi has been wondering about who and what's Beautiful and has flagged up one answer here; Jenni has been Watching the Symphony here.
What are we looking at in all these human "works of art". What do I see as I reflect upon the colours, upon the wide spectrum that arches over the whole of my life?
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Holy, Holy, Holy
Multi-coloured and blessed sanctity – God's art: whether we're always aware of it – or not …

Flip Clock spells it out
Clocks are full of all sorts of numbers, which does the job perfectly fine. Except that it's pretty boring to always read time the same old way. Instead of just glancing at numbers, you can read the words. It's the perfect gift for the wordsmith or scholar in your life. After all, normal clocks are much better suited for the mathematicians of the world that actually enjoy staring at numbers.
The clock states things in 5 minute intervals. It states things like "five to three" and "three o' clock". It just flips through all of those words to give you the proper time. It only comes in the black shown here, so hopefully you're a fan of black and white. Unfortunately getting everything spelled out for your comes at a cost. You can purchase the Flip Clock – Time Talks for £299.00 or about $454 through Rockett St George.

The pharmacist really did say that. Through the magic of the internets, let's go to the entirely appropriately named town of Surprise, Arizona to get the whole story:
Sparling received a call from Walgreens to inform her that she was given the wrong medicine for one of her prescriptions. She was given blood pressure medication instead of the pills to treat her hives. "She goes, 'Well, we probably couldn't read the doctor's handwriting.' Then I said, 'Well, I know that that's not possible because the prescription was printed out," Sparling recounted. "She kind of paused and said, 'Well, you know, they both begin with H.'"
Did you know that pharmacies used to file old prescriptions in big steel boxes? Seriously. I just bought a boatload of pharmacy antiques to decorate my store and the prescription file boxes that came probably could withstand a nuclear explosion. That's how seriously we used to take the responsibility of being trusted with the chemicals people needed to live. Now we just wrap a slightly thicker piece of paper around a bundle of a hundred prescriptions and throw them in a drawer. Some stores I've seen didn't even do that. And evidently still others feel getting the first letter of a drug name right counts as a good enough effort.
But that's not what bothers me most about this. Don't get me wrong, that was a dumbass thing to say and it bothers me, but not as much as this:
Phil Caruso, Walgreens spokesperson, issued a statement to KPHO that reads, "We're sorry this occurred and we apologized to the patient. We have a multistep prescription filling process with numerous safety checks in each step to reduce the chance of human error.
And I'm supposed to feel better about this now? Let me explain something to you Mr. Walgrrens hack, if you do indeed have a "multistep prescription filling process with numerous safety checks" you now look even STUPIDER. Because, and follow me here, a GOOD process with FUNCTIONAL safety checks would PREVENT someone only concerned about the first letter of a drug's name from getting prescriptions out the door.
Got me? I'll go over that again. The object of a safety check is to make a mistake less likely to happen. So, you see, when a boneheaded move like this manages to get through your "multistep process" that's maybe a sign your process sucks. Trying to impress us with the fact you have a process will not work, because the whole thing the process is designed to prevent JUST HAPPENED.
Or you know what? Maybe it will work. Because people used to expect more from their drug store back in the age of the indestructible prescription file. I'm starting to get a feeling this night...that they probably expected more from corporate spokespeople as well.

Working On A Book!
I've been looking forward to announcing this! I'm in the early stages of putting together a book. The book will be a collection of personal illustrations (like this one, and this one). I want the book to be comprised mostly of new images, so for that reason my updates here might be a little slow, as a lot of my efforts will wind up going into the book. Maybe I'll leak a painting or two every now and then...like the WIP above. I currently have no estimated publication date, but I'll keep everyone posted!

However, studies have found that most of the widely available supplements contain little or no mercury, dioxins or PCBs.
Most companies use species of fish that are lower on the food chain, like cod and sardines, that accumulate less mercury. Many companies also distill their oils to help remove contaminants.
A report by ConsumerLab.com, which conducts independent tests of supplements, examined 41 common fish oil products and found none contaminated with mercury or PCBs. Another report, by researchers at Harvard Medical School and at Massachusetts General Hospital, studied five popular brands of fish oil and found that the brands had "negligible amounts of mercury."
Animal-based omega-3 fats, which come mainly from fish and fish oils, are not regularly consumed in sufficient amounts in the U.S. Omega-6 fats, however, which come from vegetable oils like corn, soy, and canola are severely over-consumed, mainly due to the massive consumption of processed foods.
When omega-6 fats predominate in your diet – as it does for most people – it encourages the production of inflammation in your body.
Since so many diseases have now been linked to chronic inflammation, optimizing your omega 3 to omega 6 ratios is really one of your most important nutrition concerns to get right.
I used to recommend fish oil for this purpose, but based on the available research, I now believe krill oil is an even better option for most people, which I will expound upon at the end of this article. But first…
Why Do You Need Plenty of Omega-3 Fats?
Many scientists believe that one major cause behind today's high incidence of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, premature aging, and some forms of cancer is the profound imbalance between your intake of omega-6 and omega-3 fats.
Here is just a sampling of omega-3's benefits:
- Antiarrhythmic: counteracting or preventing cardiac arrhythmia
- Antithrombotic: tending to prevent thrombosis (a blood clot within a blood vessel)
- Antiatherosclerotic: preventing fatty deposits and fibrosis of the inner layer of your arteries from forming
- Anti-inflammatory: counteracting inflammation (heat, pain, swelling, etc.)
- Improves endothelial function: a major factor in promoting the growth of new blood vessels
- Lowers blood pressure
- Lowers triglyceride concentrations
One of the easiest ways to improve your overall health is to shift your ratio by consuming more omega-3 fats -- which actually promote the production of substances that fight inflammation -- while also cutting down on omega-6 fats in vegetable oils.
By far, the best type of omega-3 fats are animal-based omega-3s found in fish. That's because the omega-3 in fish is high in two fatty acids crucial to your health: DHA and EPA. These two fatty acids are pivotal in preventing heart disease, cancer, and many other diseases.
For example, one study called the Diet and Reinfarction Trial, showed a 29 percent reduction in overall mortality rates in survivors of a first acute myocardial infarction who consumed fish rich in omega-3 fats at least twice weekly for two years.
Your brain is also highly dependent on DHA, as low DHA levels have been linked to depression, schizophrenia, memory loss, and a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's. Researchers are now also linking inadequate intake of these omega-3 fats in pregnant women to premature birth and low birth weight, and to hyperactivity in children.
As you likely know, however, eating fish is generally no longer recommended, leaving you with little choice but to take a high quality supplement to ensure you're getting enough omega-3s in your diet.
But is Fish Oil Really Your Best Source of Healthy Omega-3 Fats?
Since most all fish is severely contaminated with heavy metals, PCBs and other toxins these days, it stood to reason that fish oil may carry the risk of contamination as well. However, based on the two recent studies above, that does not appear to be a major problem.
ConsumerLab.com tested 52 fish oil products and found no evidence of mercury, PCBs or other contaminants typically found in fish. The study published in Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, however, did find mercury in two of the five brands tested.
But although mercury contamination turns out to be an insignificant concern when it comes to fish oil, I still believe krill oil is an even better source of omega-3 fats for most people, for a number of reasons.
Fish oil, although a good source of omega-3 in general, does have certain drawbacks.
First it's weak in antioxidant content. This is a concern because as you increase your intake of omega-3 fats by consuming fish oil, you actually increase your need for even more antioxidant protection.
Fish oil is also highly perishable, so antioxidants are necessary to ensure that the fish oil doesn't oxidize and become rancid inside your body (oxidation leads to the formation of unhealthy free radicals).
Is Fish Oil Sustainable?
Yes that is the big question mark. Last month the Canadian Medical Journal published an article which pointed out the obvious.
The authors stated that if we continue with our current course of fish oil supplementation the world will be depleted of fish in the next 40 years. In other words, our current practice is simply not sustainable The scientists used this as an argument to refrain from using fish oil. This makes about as much sense as asking people to not drink water as we are running low.
The key issue is that there are OTHER, more sustainable sources of animal based omega-3 fats, and as a culture we need to recognize that if we fail to make a shift to more sustainable forms of animal based omega-3 fats future generations will have major health dilemmas.
Healthy Alternatives for Animal Based Omega-3 Fats
Krill oil, on the other hand, is chock-full of natural antioxidants. In fact, research has shown it to be as much as 48 times higher in antioxidants than fish oil. So with krill oil, you can be sure you're getting these incredibly healthy fats without having to worry about oxidation issues.
Additionally, whereas the DHA and EPA in fish oil are found in the triglyceride form, krill oil supplies them in a double chain phospholipid structure.
What makes this so beneficial is that the fats in your cell walls are in the phospholipid form, so the structure of the EPA and DHA in krill oil makes them much more absorbable. This is particularly beneficial for healthy brain function as your brain is highly dependent on DHA for optimal performance.
I personally take krill oil every day, and it's one of the very few supplements I recommend to just about everyone.

Van Gogh's suicide and Fintan's reaction
Yesterday, Fintan learnt of the life story of Vincent Van Gogh. He was very interested to hear about how this famous painter had lived. He rather liked the art, too.
When his mother told him about Van Gogh cutting off his ear, he was stunned and appalled that anyone could do such a thing. His reaction was distinctly emotional – as are most things with Fintan. Yet, that is nothing compared to how he reacted when he learnt that Vincent Van Gogh had eventually given up on his life and shot himself. This time he was greatly puzzled.
"Why wasn't it enough for him to know that his paintings were nice?", he asked, completely unable to accept Van Gogh's act as a reasonable one.
Why, not, indeed? One day, no doubt, Fintan will understand how a life of non-acceptance and of "failure", could wear a man down. Evidently, Van Gogh's own view of his work was not enough to sustain him against all that negative weight. Perhaps, in fact, he may have imbibed some of what other people thought of his work and no longer been able to see how great it was. If everyone fails to appreciate one's work, perhaps, in time, it is quite easy to start to lose an appreciation of one's own work. Then again, even if one knows one's own work to be wonderful, but NO-ONE IN THE WORLD thinks so, too, that must be too hard to bear, after a while.
Van Gogh did not kill himself. The society in which he lived and failed to appreciate him, did. Had his immediate environment appreciated him and his work, he would, most probably have lived out a full life and painted a lot more than the 900 works I read once, that he had painted in his life. So, ironically enough, the world lost thousands of paintings, because it didn't appreciate him, whilst he lived. We all, therefore, lost because of this – not just Van Gogh, who lost many years of life.
There is a lesson in this, of course. We should not be too quick to dismiss the works of any creator for their novelty or strangeness, or difference from current perceptions. Anyone whose work is new is trying to show us all a new way of seeing the world. One day, that view will be better appreciated than it is at first, once people have had time to become accustomed to it. Thus, it is, we should habitually forestall negative comment and just observe carefully the new works – and should encourage the creator with judicious words meant to support them in their struggles to bring their inner world, into the outer one. One should never do what was done to Van Gogh: scorn his works, ignore them, underestimate them, for the lack of understanding them.
In fact, it should be that all who might have genius, should be supported in their endeavours by the world around them. It is too costly to us all, not to do so. For if a true genius is not supported, is scorned and spurned, discouraged and ignored, much as Van Gogh was, then it is altogether likely that they might cease to produce their works, or, end much in the same way as Van Gogh. A genius might, thereby, lose their life, but we all lose a world that shall never be fully known: the one within the mind and heart of the genius who could no longer bear life.
There are quite a few examples of geniuses, or at least highly creative people who taken their own lives, whilst still relatively young – often for just the same type of reason as Van Gogh presumably did: despair at the reception to their work. John Kennedy O'Toole, for instance, killed himself shortly after the rejection of his famous work, "The Confederacy of Dunces". He was just 31. How much more would he have written had he lived a full life? Had he not been rejected, he probably would have done so.
Gatekeepers to "publication", or the equivalent in each creative world, whether they be publishers, agents, movie producers, or art galleries, should be kinder to creators, more encouraging, more accepting and more open-minded. They should make an effort to see value in the new, quality in the different – and not impose too narrow an aesthetic point of view. The loss can be too great, if they are blunt in their criticism or harsh in their assessment. In the creative worlds, narrow-mindedness kills and short-sightedness is deadly.
What is forgotten by gatekeepers, is that the artist, of whatever kind, will have invested much of themselves in their work. Thus a rejection of the work, is a rejection of the core of the artist: their inner depths are being spurned. The pain of such rejection is enough to kill many artists. They should not suffer in this way. Creative work must be assessed with greater gentleness, insight, compassion and humanity. Though, it must be observed that these qualities are often lacking in gatekeepers, who themselves lack creative ability and, perhaps, lack a true understanding of what artists go through.
Do you want to know who killed John Kennedy O'Toole? Not O'Toole himself. Robert Gottlieb of Simon and Schuster provided the motivational trigger, by rejecting The Confederacy of Dunces, on the basis that it needed extensive revision and was "pointless". Eventually, Dunces was published essentially unaltered by Louisiana State University Press in 1980. It went on to sell 1.5 million copies and O'Toole received a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, in 1981. It would seem that Robert Gottlieb didn't really know what he was talking about. However, his erroneous views killed a great writer.
Sadly, it was O'Toole's mother, Thelma's, constant efforts to publish his work after his death, that got it published. She saw it as a means to prove her son's talent. She was right. Simon and Schuster were wrong.
So, when faced with the work of a new writer, artist, musician, film-maker, poet, scientist or the like, don't be a killer critic…be a kind-hearted supportive opener of the way – and do what you can to bring new work to the world, instead of doing your best to persuade artists and other creators that life is not worth living.

Still doing things with gem stones
I love Labradorite but it is difficult to photograph. The wonderful flashes of colour that make this stone so very special very much depend on the angle of the light entering the stone. You can see the wonderful blue hidden in these stones is shown here on the main piece and a little in some of the smaller rounds. Labradorite has been paired with Moonstone another gem that reflects light displaying colour flashes in the right conditions. Findings and spacers are Silver plated copper.
I've got another of those facetted irregular shapes that will be wired into a matching ring. No earrings this time as I have lots of silver set Labradorite earrings already. Now how do I convince Harley that the wire is not an interesting cats toy.

Top 7 Best PS3 Soundtracks
Gameplay, graphics, storyline; these have always been the defining element in video games. Not to be outdone, the score of a game is becoming equally important.
Below are some of the games that have left lasting impressions, sometimes even more so than the gameplay itself.
Rhythm games, such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band, are not included as their gameplay revolves around music, and let's face it, we already know how awesome their soundtracks are.
Mirror's Edge
For a game that only has a single song as its soundtrack, it sure does make a lasting impression. "Still Alive" by Lisa Miskovsky was first featured in a trailer for Mirror's Edge and ever since then, it has become a hit. The song has that feel good vibe to it and fits well with the openness of the city environment. If you have yet to hear it, the song is available on the PSN, free of charge.
Wipeout HD
The game is rapid, futuristic, racing filled with explosions and gunfire. As you zip around the tracks, you can't help but hear the thumping techno soundtrack that complements the environment around you. To get the full experience of the music, Zone Mode is the perfect choice. As you progress through the laps, gaining momentum and precision, the music follows suit. More beats are added, the tempo increases; the music becomes as chaotic as what you are seeing on the screen. Attempting to reach Zone 75 for the Zone Zeus trophy never sounded so fun. Of course, you could always listen to custom music off your HDD but there is no real reason to.
Before the game was even released, the music was wildly talked about. Due to the inclusion of Arabic-language lines from the Qur'an, the game was delayed. This still doesn't take away from the amazing soundtrack that can be heard throughout its multiple worlds. The soundtrack is playful and upbeat; enjoyable for both kids and adults. It fits hand in hand with Media Molecule's Play, Create, Share theme and is instantly recognizable.
Sidhe teamed up with Module to bring us this amazing retro-remix themed soundtrack to an equally awesome game. From Electro to Glam Rock, the soundtrack covers a variety of genres and features guitar solos, rich base lines, and so much more. Simply playing the game is not enough to capture the full experience of this album as many tracks last longer than a level. The Shatter soundtrack is the result of over a year's worth of work and dedication; fully emerging the player into the hypnotic gameplay present.
Devil May Cry 4
The Devil May Cry series has always been known for its hard rock/heavy metal thrasher music. It wasn't until the trailer for Devil May Cry 4 featuring Shall Never Surrender did the game look stunning. The intense action, combined with the emotion of Nero, make it one of the top trailers too, despite the game being as mediocre as it is. We'll let the video speak for itself.
Bionic Commando Rearmed
The soundtrack for the original Bionic Commando on the NES was good, but when Rearmed came out with a remixed soundtrack, it became exceptional. The music remained the same yet got a complete overhaul. Classic gamers who played through the original will reminisce of the olden days while newcomers to the series will immediately be attracted to it. Either way, it's a win-win for gamers.
No other soundtrack captures the mood of the game more than Bioshock. Featuring orchestral melodies depicting the 30s, 40s, and 50s; the city of Rapture is captured brilliantly. In addition to the original score, the ability to listen to 30 officially licensed songs from around the same era makes the player felt like they are truly in 1960. If you're a sucker for the classics, Bioshock is the way to go.

The meals begin at 6:30 p.m. Friday and at 1 p.m. April 13. The dinners will be followed by a performance of the play "We the People." A ticket for both the meal and play is $15. The meal will include baked chicken breast, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, lettuce or cole slaw, a dinner roll, Mandarin orange cake and coffee or water. The deadline for purchasing tickets is this evening. Many volunteer hours have gone into the play, described as "a true community effort." The cast consists of people from Herreid, Pollock, Glenham and Strasburg and Westfield, N.D. "We the People" is a patriotic play. Based on the preamble to the Constitution, it "includes humor, music and moving scenes," according to a news release. "Slices of American life are woven throughout the play. Scenes range from two neighbors arguing over their right to have crabgrass to the heartwarming story of an immigrant who came to America, plus picnics, spelling bees, parades, a letter home from the war and more. Vocal and instrumental music is integrated throughout the play." LuCinda Haak directs the play and Julie Borr directs the music. The meal will be catered by Slick's. The Pollock Visitor/Interpretive Center Committee is the sponsor of the community dinner theater. Modern Woodmen of America Camp 13202 and the Campbell-McPherson County Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans will match proceeds from the project up to $500 each. Proceeds from the dinner theater will be used to help cover expenses related to the hosting of the Smithsonian Institution's "Between Fences" traveling exhibit, which comes to Pollock Nov. 8 through Dec. 21. Community people starring in the play include the Rev. David Smith, Bonnie Smith, Marcia Swann, Orland Geigle, Elaine Ryckman, Russel Ryckman, Rick Seymour, Sandy Renner, Joan Wittmeier, Mike Wittmeier, Catie Mickelson, Cathy Mickelson, Carter VanderWal, Merlynn VanderWal, Les Sjomeling, Phil Steiger, Beth or Angelina Dockter, Sally Dockter, Esther Dockter, Tara Thomas, Cindy Moser, Arlyn Van Beek, Doris Van Beek, Jerome Pool, Karen Schnabel, Janice Haan, Faye Ryckman, Teresa Romans and Delores Kluckman. Eleven of those people have more than one role in the play. According to Delores Kluckman, the members of the committee "feel honored to host the Smithsonian traveling exhibit. The exhibit stands 7 feet tall, comes in 15 crates and occupies more than 600 square feet. According to the news release, the exhibit will "challenge one to think about: types of fences, fence material, fences past, present and future (cyberspace), as well as, fences that are invisible vs. visible, natural vs. manmade, rural vs. urban and the impact of fences on personal lives in the span of time between the railings on one's crib to the fence around one's final resting place." The committee is currently sponsoring a poem contest, called "Fences - Past and Present" and an essay contest, called "Fences of the Future," in a six-county area for students in grades three through 12. For information, contact Kluckman at (605) 889-2532. To make reservations for the dinner theater, contact Wilma Wittmeier at (605) 889-2837, Darlene Binfet at (605) 845-3621 or Jane Looyenga at (605) 845-2040. Payment needs to be received within three days of phone requests. No tickets will be sold or refunded after today. Seating at the dinner theater will be pre-assigned. Admittance is by reservation only. Doors will open 30 minutes prior to the meal.

|Sample on the 60" AVL loom
Saturday, October 26, 2013
Got the 10" sample going on the big loom. Compu-Dobby working correctly. The chenille obscures the pattern but I am hoping for "collapse" after wet-finishing. All an experiment. I am still getting used to the tension system on this loom. It is quite different at least compared to the smaller loom. I have the tension set very low. It advances with the sandpaper beam very easily, almost too easily, but yet the warp is plently tight enough. Oh well, if ain't broke don't fix it! The cloth is rolling up on the sandpaper beam. I am not attaching this to the apron. To get the warp threads sticking to the sandpaper beam rolling them around manually is hard to do, scratchy. I just use a sheet of that rubberized shelf liner by feeding it between the sandpaper beam and the cloth. You you let it roll on. I use this stuff when I leave unwoven yarn for fringes. It keeps the tension consistent until I start another one. In that case I let the shelf liner "roll out". I think AVL people will get that.

So popular has Kyoto been, since the Protocol on Carbon Emissions was signed there in 1997, that the Airports that serve Kyoto have all had to have capacity improved to cope with increased demand for Domestic and International Flights - cargo, not just passengers.
This 38 min video does make the press look like idiots
"The White House press briefing from yesterday. The pain on the faces of the journalists as their little cocooned worlds start to crumble in front of Them is a joy to watch.
