DEA Chief Criticizes Obama Marijuana Remarks, But Faces Backlash

Criticism is mounting over reported remarks last week of DEA chief Michele Leonhart in a speech to the Major Counties Sheriffs Association. Leonhart criticized her boss, President Obama, for acknowledging in a recent interview that marijuana is not more dangerous than alcohol and that the experiments with marijuana legalization in Colorado and Washington were "important."

Precisely what Leonhart told the gathered sheriffs is unclear because no media were allowed in the room, but the anti-legalization sheriffs ate it up, according to the Boston Herald, which spoke with some of them.

"She's frustrated for the same reasons we are," Bristol County (MA) Sheriff Thomas Hodgson said. "She said she felt the administration didn't understand the science enough to make those statements. She was particularly frustrated with the fact that, according to her, the White House participated in a softball game with a pro-legalization group... But she said her lowest point in 33 years in the DEA was when she learned they'd flown a hemp flag over the Capitol on July 4. The sheriffs were all shocked. This is the first time in 28 years I've ever heard anyone in her position be this candid."

The hemp flag was flown at the request of Colorado Rep. Jared Polis (D), a strong marijuana reform supporter.

Kern County (CA) Sheriff Donny Youngblood, head of the sheriffs' group, said Leonhart criticized Obama for making what he described as "irresponsible" remarks that were "a big slap in the face" to police officers who lost their lives prosecuting the drug war.

"This is a woman who has spent 33 years of her life fighting drug abuse in the DEA, her entire life. To have the president of the United States publicly say marijuana was a bad habit like alcohol was appalling to everyone in that room," Youngblood said. "I think the way that she felt was that it was a betrayal of what she does for the American people in enforcing our drug laws... She got a standing ovation."

Hodgson said sheriffs see marijuana as "gateway drug" (Editor's Note: Despite the notion having been repeatedly debunked) and that political leaders should be preventing drug use, not playing down its dangers and providing kids with excuses.

"The last person we need saying this to kids is the president of the United States," Hodgson said.

While Leonhart's remarks played well with law enforcement officials with a vested interest in maintaining the prohibitionist status quo, they didn't sit nearly as well with drug reformers.

"Whether Ms. Leonhart is ignorant of the facts or intentionally disregarding them, she is clearly unfit for her current position," said Dan Riffle, Marijuana Policy Project director of federal policies. "By any objective measure, marijuana is less harmful than alcohol to the consumer and society. It is irresponsible and unacceptable for a government official charged with enforcing our drug laws to deny the facts surrounding the nation's two most popular recreational drugs.

The group has launched a petition calling on the president to fire Leonhart and replace her with someone who will base decisions on science and evidence instead of politics and ideology.

"The DEA administrator's continued refusal to recognize marijuana's relative safety compared to alcohol and other drugs flies in the face of the president's commitment to prioritizing science over ideology and politics," Riffle said. "She is neglecting the basic obligations of her job and fundamentally undermining her employer's mission. This would be grounds for termination in the private sector, and the consequences for Ms. Leonhart should be no different."

The petition calls for Leonhart to be replaced by "someone who will uphold [President Obama's] mandate that administration decisions be guided by science instead of ideology and politics."

Love it!

This is great, one of the biggest prohibitionists in the world is finally getting called out on the carpet over it! Maybe Leonhart should resign, please start a petition for her removal! I'm an administrator on the Facebook page New Yorkers Against Prohibition and "we the people" want her out of Washington! started one, there's a link in the article

She should move to some place like Malaysia or Singapore where they still appreciate her bigoted ways.

Legalizing weed

There is already a petition on please go sign it asap. There are a few petitions started on that site on this subject. So feel free to sign all of them and pass the word.

Get her out of there!

This woman should be out of her position. For too long has there been this "War on Drugs" and it needs to end. People with a mindset that something is "evil" or "immoral" because they think it is, should really be in no position of power. If you are going to overlook science and facts, then you are not doing the progression of humankind any good.

The "laws" should not be proactive . Who's civil rights are being violated. Anyone arrested for using any drug whether its caffeine ( yes that is a drug ) alcohol , "pot" or anything else that does not violate another's constitutional rights should NOT be violated by imprisonment . The United States are under attack by FASCIST and a prison system that makes a profit by locking us up.

Michele Leonhardt Should Resign from DEA

Since hemp-hater Michele Leonhardt is bitching about her job so much, she should do herself and the rest of the country a favor by quitting.  Why waste people’s time by forcing the President’s hand?

Leonhardt hasn’t succeeded at anything.  She’s proven to the world at a Senate hearing that she knows virtually nothing about drugs.  She objectifies social problems by conflating the problems with drugs, and then she claims all that’s needed is to eliminate drugs and the problem is solved.  It never happens.  This is bureaucratic incompetence at its worst.  She’s an embarrassment to the country.  When a bureaucrat believes her own hype, it’s time to go, no matter how useful she’s been in making the DEA look bad.

marijuana legalization

Michele Leonhardt needs to be replaced now. Have her go to the cancer centers and see how marijuana helps them with there pain suffering vomiting after radiation treatments.and why do you think most law enforcement want it keep illegal that's where the get most of the federal monies. If we could save that money, money we could save prosecution and imprisonment on marijuana and then tax IT ,we could help elderly with meds and help less fortunate people on home heating food.

The Cretin In Charge

Get this moron out of the DEA and then defund the useless agency.

Fire 'em All

they terrorize doctors and researchers and never go after the big traffickers because they prefer numbers and easy. They do more harm than good. Replace the DEA with an agency that makes sense.

Obama's Fault

Really, what else could one expect when Obama re-appointed Bush holdover Leonhart? Her antediluvian views were well known well before he took office.  This is what you get electing Democrats and expecting change; more of the same--not just as regards cannabis but across the entire policy spectrum.  We demand better choices.

drug war

sheriff donny youngblood: it is you and your support of the drug war that are responsible for the death of those dea agents and all other law enforcement folks who lost their life in support of the drug war....the drug war was wrong and should not have been waged in the first should have been treated a as a medical problem...the hard drug user should have been in some sort of treatment program ....while dealers in hard drug incarcerated...but to declare a war means that all who are confronted would be in a situation that puts life in jeopardy...stop the drug war here in the states and let mexico and all of the rest of the countries involved in drugs take care of their own affairs....

Her own agents don't think mch of her

Reformers should spend some time reading at DEAWatch. It's a site for present and past agents to sound off. They usually do...with some of the most misogynistic, bigoted and prejudicial remarks ever made in a public forum by putative 'public servants'. So much so you might want to have some eyewash handy. It's that bad.

They don't think much of Leonhart either. Not much at all...

Oh, and by the way

This is what Obama gets for making as if he has no control over Haag and her fascists  and what they've done to the dispensaries in CA. Make like you have no control, and what are supposedly your animals will be encouraged slip the leash. Even becoming bold enough to the point of growling at their master.

When a dog does that, you set it straight...or put it down. With a Human bureaucracy, the latter doesn't economically and politically by firing the erring employee. Obama has to decide who's going to be President, him, or her.

getting a real clue

it's hard too believe in this day and age we would have anyone who wants too keep the lies going and keep putting the pharmies out on the street--i'm sure big pharm. is gonna takeing a beating but get her OUTTA there we need some one who can "READ',and "UNDERSTAND",just what science really has too say--it's hard too believe it was ever made illegal--just think of all the "PEOPLE",that are goverment let die from lack of a plant that was put on this earth for a reason --time too get it over--legalize,and help put our schools and our future back where they need too b!!!!

really sad

It is always about getting money for their faction. It is sad when they are fighting what the majority of the country approves of. Proof they care more about money than the people they where hired to represent. Some prison owners have to be freaking out thinking about all of the income they are about to lose.

end the DEA by adding the other d spelling DEAD

I also think the DEA such be ended  , There fascism and death courts  are forever a scorn  along with the IRS and  DOR  CIA  HLS  the federal government in general

Those that continue to

Those that continue to support prohibition fail to understand that those opposed to it actually want the same thing they do. The only difference is that the prohibitionists have fallen for all the lies and propaganda spread by the sensationalist loving media and deny that their government and institutions have been intentionally misleading them all these years for their own corrupt and selfish gain.

SB Beauty Chronicles: Sun & Skin

10 Jul

Let’s talk skincare. THE single most important thing that you can do to keep your skin looking young is to protect it! You only get one epidermis and there is no fountain of youth. #truth

During summer, we are flooded with a multitude of “tanned” body images. It can be very tempting to bake in the sun for a few hours, without sunblock. Don’t do it! Trust me on this one. Unprotected sun exposure can increase lines, wrinkles, and sun spots – and let’s not forget the risk of skin cancer.

Untanned (or lightly tanned) skin is classy and elegant: case in point, Taylor Swift. Check out this article about celebrities who look better without a tan. If you really want that deep summer tan, please just go for a spray tan or try an at home system.

Now for the important part, sunblock. My favorite brand is Coola. It is a mineral formula that doesn’t contain parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. They have an amazing matte tint line, which keeps you looking cool and smooth (not oily and greasy). It is made for the face, but I use it on my entire body. You’ll love it it. You can find it at Nordstrom here or Sephora here.

Your gorgeous skin deserves flattering swimwear. I particularly like bright colors, to provide a good contrast. This pink suit pops on anyone. Even if you aren’t used to wearing super bright colors…give it a try for a swim suit. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Just remember: Don’t shush the SPF. Protect you skin and you’ll look amazing for many years to come.

{We photographed this series at one of the most amazing spots on Maui. During special times of the year at Baldwin Beach, the sun shines directly through the hills and creates one of the best spots for watching the sunset, EVER. We happened to be there for this exact moment. Incredible. These were truly some of the most beautiful moments I’ve ever experienced. So, I wanted to share them with you. Hope you enjoy!}

Everybody has an old, go-to, heavy winter jacket.  You know the one I’m talking about. Its been sitting in your closet for years and should have been donated to a local coat drive – like 3 years ago. It’s time now!

You should own something truly unique & chic.  Look for flattering cuts, interesting zippers, fun fur, cool leather details, built in features, quality construction, versatility, and most important of all, warmth. Unique and chic also means staying away from basic coats with flashy logos (think, North Face, Columbia, Eddie Bauer, Mountain Gear, or LL Bean). By doing so, you’ll make one of your best winter wardrobe decisions, ever.

While vacationing in Vancouver, British Colombia, I stumbled upon this amazing Mackage jacket.  It is the chicest heavy jacket that I have ever laid eyes on.  The length, cut, angled multi-way zipper, leather details, fur, built in vest, and THAT hood – it was love at first sight! Warm & comfy, while still flattering & fashionable. Jackpot.

Now is the perfect time to shop for your best winter jacket, ever!  Treat yourself to a new heavy winter jacket, while all of the great styles are out.  IMO Mackage has some of the highest quality, best looking pieces.  If you’re not ready to make the splurge, check out my other budget-friendly picks below too!

Bring your vacation home with you.

I just got back from a much needed vacay to the fabulous Hermitage Bay, in Antigua.  It was surreal (but, I’ll get to that in another post)!!  Although I’m back home, I’m still channeling the tropical vibe.  That means it is time to throw in some island-style inspiration to the wardrobe.

On the way to Antigua, we made a quick stop in Miami, where I decided to splurge on these Prada sunnies in South Beach. They are the perfect mix of Wayfarer and glam. I’m. In Love.

Let me know if you like the new video format!

Custom site CSS

Custom CSS is one of the fastest ways to customize your MindTouch site. Now with the inclusion of LESS, custom CSS is even easier.

To follow coding standards, separate the styling from your structural content as much as possible. To enable content managers to apply site-side styles without having to place code onto every page, the MindTouch control panel has a Custom CSS field.

How to place site-wide CSS code

To change your Custom Site CSS, you need to be signed in as an admin on your site.

From the MindTouch toolbar, select Site toolsControl panelBranding > Custom Site CSS.

To apply CSS to the entire site or for all of one type of page, one type of user, one browser, make sure to enter the CSS in the All Roles CSS field.

Add custom CSS by user role

There are six different CSS sections that conditionally load CSS based on the user who is viewing the page. If you have CSS that you only want to apply to anonymous users, community members, pro-members, or admins, enter CSS directly in the appropriate field. Put all other global CSS in the All Roles CSS field.

Place code in the Admin CSS section to verify the effects of your code and test style changes before placing them into the All Roles CSS section. This allows pro members to test the code without affecting the rest of the viewing community.

  • All Roles CSS - Overrides the CSS for all user types. CSS or LESS entered into the All Roles CSS section display to every user no matter the type.
  • Anonymous CSS - Overrides the CSS for users that aren't logged in to MindTouch and are anonymously navigating the site.
  • Community Member CSS - Overrides the CSS for users that are logged in as community members.
  • Pro Member CSS - Overrides the CSS for users that are logged in as pro members. CSS entered into the Pro Member CSS section will display to all pro members except admins.
  • Admin CSS - Overrides the CSS for users that are logged in as admins. Only admins can see this CSS entered in this section (does not include Pro Member CSS!)
  • Legacy Browser CSS - Enables your site to be branded for legacy browsers.

LESS is a CSS preprocessing language that extends the default functionality found in CSS. The LESS syntax is identical to CSS, which means that regular CSS will work as before. Because LESS files are processed before being served to a web browser as valid CSS, additional functionality can be used in the CSS code such as variables, mixins, ruleset nesting, and functions.

LESS allows you to use variables and do things such as change all of the colors on your site by just changing one variable. LESS CSS also allows you to nest statements together, reuse code, and more such as nesting all media queries within one selector instead of repeating it for every adjustment that needs to be made per screensize. Select the following for a list of LESS variables to target sitewide.

CSS and LESS validation on Save - To avoid compilation errors with the LESS preprocessor, all CSS or LESS code submitted in the control panel is validated before being saved. This means that you will never have to worry about invalid CSS or LESS disabling the styles applied to your site.

LESS exampleAn example of how easy it is to update the look of your site with LESS is by changing the @higlight-color variable. By adding the following LESS variable to the custom CSS section of your choice, you can change the base color of your site from blue to orange.

Major Existential Crises Gifted Individuals Face

Major Existential Crises Gifted Individuals Face

Major Existential Crises Gifted Individuals Face

It is found that the individuals who are specially gifted and talented suffer from some crisis. This crisis is referred to depression when the person suffers from some issues in their life.

Depression is usually found in people who live alone or who are stressed up with their problems. Depression is an ultimate stage of stress. However, an existential crisis is often found in gifted people.

Ultimate Concerns

depression 1

Freedom, death, isolation and meaninglessness are the four such issues of existential depression as said by Yalom (1920). Death is an inevitable occurrence whereas freedom refers to the world which is inherently structured.

Isolation means that there will always be some gap between people no matter how close they are and will always feel alone at some point in life. Meaningless combines all the three elements: death, freedom and isolation; Meaninglessness turns the person into a victim of depression.

Why do They Occur in Gifted Youngsters?

depression 2

Life gives equal chances to everyone.  Certain stressful thoughts may occur in a gifted person’s mind, rather than simply focusing on day to day aspects. Gifted people can see where the world is lacking and do not question the natural process of behaviour.

These people try to share their concern with others and are often get puzzled reactions. Others of their age usually do not share the same concerns and are more focused on other issues. Their families too are not ready to share such weighted concerns from these gifted youngsters.

What Happens to Them?

depression 3

In such situations, they try to find some striking points by which they can grasp to pull them out of unfairness. The more they try to pull themselves out, the more they come to know about the finite life that they are alone, and they are a just small organism in this humungous world.

In which age group this problem arises?

depression 4

Such types of concerns are not so surprising in an adult who are facing their mid-life crisis. However in people suffering from existential depression; this kind of stressed concerns come into a mind of the child of fourteen to fifteen. At this stage, they are in need of attention so that they could get out of this problem.

Due to these existential issues, our youngster put themselves into stress and buried themselves in its causes. We can help them by communicating with them and by telling them that they are not alone. It will work only when it is done in acceptable and understandable manner.

How to solve this problem?

depression 5

Humanity is all about helping each other. These youngsters are the future of our species and traditions. We must help them and communicate with them. We should tell them about the main concern they should have, boost them up, teach them how to enjoy life and make it stress-free.

These problems do not appear only once in our life. Instead, these crises are the one that every person faces in their mid-life. We could help numerous people who are facing this existential crisis by helping them and by helping them to realize that they are not alone. They must learn how to enjoy little moments in life and to bring inner peace which will help them to live their life peacefully.

How to Build Self-Esteem and Excel?

How to Build Self-Esteem and Excel?

How to Build Self-Esteem and Excel?

Self-Esteem is having a positive opinion about oneself. If I think I am good and am capable of doing everything, it is self-esteem. People fail to realize their dreams because they have a poor opinion of themselves. In fact, having pride in one’s abilities help you to make a name for yourself. It is the foundation for a successful man.

Some people expostulate the view of building self-esteem as a waste of time because it steals much of students’ valuable time. It appears to me as if too much confidence can prove dangerous to children. These days, most of the children are over confident. So, awareness about self-esteem can go wrong if we try to build self-confidence any further.

It would be highly desirable if the lessons about self-esteem are included in the school curriculum. Confidence in oneself is an attitude which has to be cultivated from the budding stage of a human being. You can compliment your child for a good work. But, if he has done a bad work or has scored a very poor mark in the exams, it would do no good if you start praising him. For every good effort, you can tell him that he has done a good job keeping in mind that he doesn’t need to be praised when he gets a poor mark. In that situation, you have to advise him to improve.

parentchild dedication

Having pride in oneself can be viewed from two different angles. Either the child is having proud or is arrogant and snooty. As parents, we all have the responsibility to develop self confidence in them. There is another way of defining self-esteem. It is the capability of a child to complete a given task with some or no assistance from others. Completion of the task makes him deliriously happy.

Take Care in the Formative Years

Middle school days is the time when a child starts to understand what is happening around him. This is the stage of, life when for the first time; he starts to feel his peer recognition to be more exciting than hearing his own parents praising him. When he is a boy, he finds his parent’s praise to be the greatest thing on earth. After that, he becomes happy when he hears his teacher praising him. When he is 11-13 years old, his self-confidence grows when his peer makes him happy to praise.

In School

Since school is children’s second home, teachers can stand as a pillar to help children build self-confidence. When a child scores a good mark, the teacher can shower praises on him to encourage him to do better next time. The teacher can also ask that child to assist others to cultivate a habit of helping others. Create a group and encourage the students to participate in an activity. Active children can help others in bringing out the best in his friends. This is an ideal example of mutual help and improvement.

In short, developing self-esteem is an ideal way to improve a child’s performance. This will help children reach greater heights.

Troubleshooting Signatures

Signatures insert HTML into messages. Poorly formatted signatures insert bad HTML into messages, and could cause a variety of problems, including:

  • Signatures Deleting the content of emails when added after typing content
  • Signatures appearing ahead of content when added
  • Same signatures appearing in different places from one email to the next

Here are some tips on how to debug issues with signatures:

1) Ensure that the signature settings are correct in Options > Preferences > Accounts > [your accounts] > Identity. This panel drives how and where the signature is being placed.

2) Use Quote Mode instead of Summarize until you have your signatures working as expected. Summarize dynamically constructs the HTML for digest view in outbound messages, and during trouble-shooting this variable should be eliminated from the equation.

3) As a test, try creating the simplest signature possible, just one line of text with no formatting. Does the simple signature work, whereas the other signature does not? If yes, then this could indicate an issue with the other signature(s).

4) Ensure your signature HTML is correct by clicking on the </> button in the Signature editor.

5) Do NOT insert an image into a signature that is behind your secure corporate firewall! It will not work, and it could prevent messages from sending.

Close to home

During the winter months, the 50+ hiking group goes on shorter hikes closer in. This week’s trip consisted of two city walks. This post is about the 2nd, shorter walk. It was along the waterfront of Vancouver: the Renaissance Waterfront Trail — something I didn’t even know existed.

We head out in an eastward direction along the water. This afforded great views of Mt. Hood, the airport and the tip of Mt. Jefferson far to the south.

It turns out that one of the hikers lives in the condominium complex along the trail. A bioswale was expanded into a lovely pond. Two geese were purchased to grace the pond. But as they were non-native to this area, they had to be spayed after their first batch of goslings were sent off to more appropriate locals.

It was a beautiful fall day. We had a warm, still and sunny afternoon. You can see that as the 4 o’clock hour approached, the light began to dim.

It was probably about a 3 mile loop. We came back along a broad paved path. I’ll add this to my repertoire of local walks for guests.

Soggy day … Dry hike

We’ve had a major storm! I was woken up during the night by the thrashing and beating rain. The prospects for a dry hike did not seem good. Today’s Forever Young Hikers’ goal was the 5 mile paved section of the old Columbia River Highway that runs through the Mosier Tunnels.

All along the drive to the trailhead our car was battered by driving rain. But as soon as we arrived at Hood River, the rain let up. We came in 2 vans and parked one at each end of the trail. The 2 teams of hikers each walked the whole trail end to end in opposite directions.

It was brisk but not cold and there was no wind! Spacious vistas opened to our left — moss-laden cliffs rose to our right. Below is a view of Eighteenmile Island.

The actual tunnels are preceded (from the west) by a long open breeze-way.

There are two sets of wood-lined tunnels.

We were treated to several rainbows as we neared the trail’s end and the sun grew more brazen.

We drove on to the Dalles, OR for lunch at the Baldwin Saloon. This was worth the entire drive alone! Be sure to check it out if you’re in the area. See Yelp reviews here.

The easy sociability of these hikes is a huge part of their appeal. Conversations arise naturally on our parallel (or serial) pursuits of the trails. The physical effort is eased as a random topic takes hold of our mutual attention. Besides the comradeship, I’m getting all kinds of tips on everything from other hiking groups and restaurants to repairmen and stores. I’m networking, baby!

The best views of the gorge came on the drive home.

Winter cover

Last year I tried to plant a cover crop of  Fava Beans … to abysmal failure. I later learned in the Master Gardener program that they’re not suitable to our winters. This year I used a pre-packaged mix of clover, vetch and cereal rye.

Mid-September is the optimal time to broadcast a cover crop. I squeaked mine in the first week of October. Within 2 weeks there was widespread sprouting.

The weeds are still there but the cover crop is now a good 6 inches high. Maybe they’ll choke out some of the weeds.

Little Bittercress has come up with a vengeance. Did you know that weed seeds found in Egyptian mummies still sprouted? (!!!) There’s no winning. If you’ve got bare soil … you’ve got weeds!

Forever Young hikers went up the gorge to hike the Herman Creek Pinnacles.

It was about 6 miles round trip with a 1,000 ft. elevation gain. It was another lovely hike with varied landscape with falls, rivers and views.

There was a substantial bridge over Herman Creek.

It provided a lovely river views.

We trekked across two large talus slopes.

The trail climbs immediately and then veers west along the side of the slopes — offering occasional views of Cascade Locks, the Columbia river and Washington.

We came across this striking Lobster mushroom

These “Rattlesnake Orchid” leaves poked through the leaves and mosses.

This climate is moss nirvana! I think we have an encyclopedic array of specimens. Just goes to show that every climate makes something happy! Those are baby Licorice Ferns poking through.

This was a really nice hike with just enough challenge to satisfy. We were all a little slap-happy on the drive home and sang along to the falsetto refrains of “Sherry Baby” … in an assortment of keys.

Here in the outskirts of Vancouver, we don’t get street sweeping service. In the summer weeds choke the gutters and down spouts. In winter, well you can see for yourself.

As lovely as the leaves are … (sorry no pix of the weeds)

… they get blown and washed into the lowest places. This downspout is thoroughly choked. In the summer I go out with Roundup and my battery powered weed-whacker and clear the gutter and downspouts on my block. (If for looks alone.)

Another puzzlement is the purposeful covering up of downspouts with heavy construction clothe (?). There’s a newer housing development nearby and all the downspouts are heavily covered up — perhaps to keep construction debris out. ???

I came across several ‘ponds’ on my walk.

You’d think that here in the Pacific NW the sewer system could handle rain! I grew up in Los Angeles where as a kid I played in the flooded streets that resulted from inadequate storm drainage. I liberated one pond, but I sure don’t understand what’s going on.

PS — you might note that I was out walking on what was deemed a rainy day. It’s been my experience that 1) it rains mostly at night and 2) rain comes in bursts. It’s a rare day that I don’t experience bouts of blue skis and/or long periods of workable outdoor time.

The Miracle of Leaves

Okay, maybe worms are something only a mother can love. But we all love leaves. They make AWESOME compost — especially when they’re shredded first. For one thing shredding reduces the volume some 12 – 20 fold.

When finished, this compost pile measured 4’x4’x3′ — representing leaves from six trees. The original volume was that of a large  SUV. (It’s only 2/3 full at the time of this photo.)

The above photo was taken after the first day’s work. When I went to add another batch a few days later … this pile was already steaming! It’s important to give compost piles a lot of air. When I forked through this pile steam came up. I could feel the heat on my hand. It’s MAGIC!!!

If shredded leaf compost is used with passion, the garden becomes a place of deep and powerful emotions.

I couldn’t agree more. It just feels so right to make use of this bounty from nature to further nourish the health of my garden.

First,  I collected leaves (and a neighbor’s) for several weeks and piled them on a large tarp in the garage. We were having drippy weather and I wanted to keep the leaves relatively dry. That pile was about the size of a car and 3 feet high (and that was only about half the leaves used … and there are still LOTS more leaves out there).

I bought the shredder off of Craig’s List last year for $200. It’s been a workhorse. It handled wet leaves just fine.

I just barely had the strength to start the darn motor. The other problem is that the shredded leaves are blasted out of the shoot. I don’t use a bag. I just lay out tarps to catch most of the leaves. Eventually they pile up on each other. I drag the tarps to the compost pile and rake up the rest. It’s definitely messy.

But oh, that compost is so sweet! I learned in my Master Gardening class that leaves have the 30:1 carbon to nitrogen ratio that’s optimal for composting. A hot pile in 2 days is proof enough for me!

*Note: yes, I’d love to have a homemade wood bin. I’m a little chicken when it comes to carpentry. In the mean time,  I’m getting by with plastic webbing (?) and stakes. I cover it with a tarp and weigh it down with hunks of wood. On the up side, it’s portable.

Read Full Post »

An email conversation prompted me to make this post. It turns out keeping a thriving worm bin is a bit tricky. I’m learning as I go. This is only what I know so far.

I got my setup from BWCN Farms (I have no idea what the initials stand for). My first batch of African night crawlers died in a freeze last October. I bought a new batch of worms — this time red wigglers — this April. John at BWCN was very patient with my hand-wringing and insecurity.

Here’s how I start a new tray. First off, I mix equal parts (1 scant shovel full each) of dirt and leaf compost. To this I add shredded newspaper and a crumbled egg carton (or other cardboard source). I put the paper goods in a gallon bin and add about a pint of water and slosh it around to make sure the paper soaks up the water.

I stir it all up in the wheel barrel. I add water if it’s needed.

I keep on pulling the newspaper apart and mushing it up with the leaf/dirt mix. I need to provide a source of roughage (sand or egg shells) in the mix. The worms ingest this and use it to grind up what they eat.

I save my egg shells in a custard cup until it’s full.

When I have enough I pulverize the shells on a breadboard using the bottom of the cup to grind them up. Some of these pieces are too big, but most will do.

Since I’m adding a new tray to an existing setup I need to remove the top layers of solid newsprint so the worms can crawl between the old bin and the new one that will go on top. (These bins have mesh bottoms to allow for drainage and worm transit.) I’ll put the solid newspaper back on top of the new ‘top’ tray. This keeps flies out.

Here’s a look at happy worms in their ‘old’ tray (only 1 month old). Bits of the green can be seen where food was placed. It’s a good sign that worms are in the green stuff. I just sit the new tray right on top of this.

I only put in about a pint of chopped veggies about every 5 days or so. Usually I freeze the veggies overnight to help break down their cell structure. My worms just aren’t big eaters. Either that or they’re busy “eating” the newspaper and cardboard.

I was told that the most common mistake folks make is putting too much food in the bins. So I check to see that they’ve eaten what I gave them previously before I add more food. Clearly most of my kitchen scraps get composted outdoors.

My worm bin has never smelled and if the top tray is properly covered with solid wet newspaper and the bin lid it won’t get flies either. Last summer when the temps were in the high 90’s I actually brought the worm bin indoors.

I don’t have a picture, but finished worm casings have an unmistakable “coffee grounds” texture. (You can already detect that texture developing in the last photo.) Now that my worms have multiplied, I harvest the worm casings about every 3 – 4 months. It’s in constant flux as the population and seasons change.

So why do this at all? Good question! I guess mostly it’s very fast. The worm casings can be put directly into potting soil (whereas compost has to cure first). I guess another reason is the worms themselves. If you need to add some “biological action” to your soil these guys will do it.

My Lands Are Where My Dead Lie Buried

By Paisley Kirkpatrick
---The government promised many things, the one promise they did keep is that they took everything---
Crazy Horse, a Native American war leader of the Oglala Lakota, resisted being photographed and was deliberately buried where his grave would not be found. He reportedly said, "My lands are where my dead lie buried." His extended hand on the monument is to symbolize that statement."
Elaine Quiver, a descendant of one of Crazy Horse's aunts, said: "They don't respect our culture because we didn't give permission for someone to carve the sacred Black Hills where our burial grounds are. They were there for us to enjoy and they were there for us to pray. But it wasn't meant to be carved into images, which is very wrong for all of us. The more I think about it, the more it's a desecration of our Indian culture. Not just Crazy Horse, but all of us."
The Crazy Horse Memorial is a mountain monument under construction on privately held land in the Black Hills, Custer County, South Dakota, USA. It will depict the Oglala Lakota warrior, Crazy Horse, riding a horse and pointing to the land where his people were buried. The memorial was commissioned by Henry Standing Bear, a Lakota elder, to be sculpted by Korczak Ziolkowski. It's operated by the Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit organization.
The monument has been in progress since 1948 and is far from completion. If completed, it may become the world's largest sculpture as well as the first non-religious statue to hold this record since 1967. The monument is being carved out of Thunderhead Mountain, on land considered sacred by some Oglala Lakota. The sculpture's final dimensions are planned to be 641 feet wide and 563 feet high. The head of Crazy Horse will be 87 feet high; by comparison, the heads of the four U.S. Presidents at Mount Rushmore are each 60 feet high.
The memorial is to be the centerpiece of an educational/cultural center, to include a satellite campus of the University of South Dakota.
Plaster replica of finished memorial that is 1/34 the size.

  1. There are so many conflicting opinions among American Indians on what is desecration and what isn't--just like the polar opposite opinions across the nation on anything political. I think the statue would be nice, but also think I'll just keep my opinion quiet. There's just no way to know what's best in this situation.

  2. My husband & I have visited the Crazy Horse Memorial Monument two times several years apart. An unbelievable undertaking and amazing to see.

  3. My husband & I have visited the Crazy Horse Memorial Monument two times several years apart. An unbelievable undertaking and amazing to see.

  4. I didn't realize the Indigenous Americans were upset about the statue honoring one of their own people. I read that the project was on private property so it would seem, if it was sacred ground, how could it be sold to a private person? Henry Standing Bear was a Lakota and must have been aware of the area being sacred, and yet, gave his permission for the monument to be built. It's completely confusing to me.
    You certainly dug into some research to write this blog, Paisley. You did a terrific job. All the best...

  5. I would (personally) love to see the beautiful Crazy Horse monument completed. It is a tribute to the Native Americans and although I can appreciate some may consider it disrespectful, I think far more will see it as a honor to the Native American peoples that will endure long after all of us are dust. It is history immortalized in stone with respect. Leastways, that ia how I see it and believe the intention is behind it. Interesting post, Paisley.

  6. Wow. I see the situation from both sides of the fence and there is no easy answer.

Thank you for visiting Sweethearts of the West!

Forgiveness and Abundant Blessings

Forgiveness, Even Years Later

  This morning I felt called to write a letter, really an email, that I have wanted to write for about 10 years.  This person was on my mind recently because they are forever linked to my 9-11 relief work days and September can sometimes remind me of him.  I don’t mean in a longing […]

Why 40 Days for Life?

  I firmly believe that Our Lord has called me to the pro-life ministry and crisis pregnancy ministry.  It is something that I have always been passionate about.

Where did all our friends go?

I got a text message the other day from an old friend.  It was great to hear from them and we chatted back and forth for a bit before the conversation drifted off.

I began thinking about friends.  I have always had a lot of friends, people that I was close to, talked to, hung out with.  I am a friendly person, and that helped.  But I usually only had one or two people I was really close to at a time; a Best Friend.

To those of you that have filled that role for someone, thank you.  You have saved lives.  You have inspired and supported and changed people.  To those have been that for me, I love you for it.

If we have lost touch or moved apart or changed, I’m sorry.  I will always value the relationship we had, and the effect you had on my life.

I have some cool stuff I want to share from this week:

  • I have been writing a story.  Check out Part 3 here.
  • I travelled to Santa Barbara, CA for work a couple of weeks ago, and if you are ever there, please go check out Good Cup Downtown.  Seriously.  You owe it to yourself.
  • Some friends of mine are working on a web-series called Nicolife.  Go watch!

Hope all of you have a wonderful week!

Visit the in-progress wiki for info on the current event.
If you have experience editing wiki or making templates contact me to join the project!

  1. in your youtube video i heard you talk about special themed gachas like ninja hibiki from datamines do you have a link to that?

  2. This comment has been removed by the author.

  3. Do you have a link to kanade's unreleased song?

  4. Apparently, according to the link below, the official CN stream gave us the Japanese lyrics for the SONG trio song "Gekisho Infinity" and Hibiki's "Makenai Ai ga Koko ni Aru" (no info on the FIS trio "Senritsu Sorority" and the Bavarian trio "Shitou Ewigkait"). Do you know if anyone is planning to translate them?

  5. I just noticed there is one song in the Song Missions in XD that says Unreleased. Do you know what the requirement for it is?

    1. Use Kanade in your party and clear 50 quests. It's her new song exclusive to the game, "Backlit Resolve"

  6. I thought you were going to stop supporting crack shit? I addressed everything you said back in the comments of your other blog update, and you're still spreading about crack shit that degrades and demeans the characters on twitter.

    Really, stop damaging the fan base by propagating low quality content that bastardizes the characters.

  7. Really, what will it take to convince that you're wrong for liking images of crack pairs and Hibiki getting fucked by random faceless men.
    You claim you're an "obsessed fan", but anyone with a brain just sees you as a shallow self serving tool. Because all your actions reflect you shitting on the characters and degrading them.

  8. Also, you're clearly a lair, which is another negative character trait.
    You said you would address what I said if I kept it off the blog and spoke to you through e-mails.
    Clearly that was a lie, because I sent that e-mail two month ago.

    1. Boy, am I glad to see you! I've really wanted to ask your advice, but it's hard to find you when you go anonymous 😉. When I'm watching a show, any show, can I objectively know which pairs are canon and which ones are crack? I've always admired your conviction as you told everyone else what degrades the characters, and I just wish I knew how to do it myself! And most of all, it is so cool how you are so knowledgeable about what all the other fans think, that you are qualified to speak for the entire fan base and call out things that damage it. Please, how can I do what you do?!? Please don't let me down, I know you wouldn't be this cool and confident if you didn't have the answer!

    2. Leaving aside your blatant sarcasm and ignorance.
      How can you honestly not tell what is and isn't a crack or canon pair? A crack pairs means there are literally no romantic feelings between the characters portrayed in the image, and a canon pair is when they have explicit romantic feelings for each other. Not exactly hard to figure out.

      And what else is not hard to figure out is how you're not actually a fan of the series, thus not a part of the fan base. Just because you claim to like the series doesn't mean you actually do, and it doesn't mean that you actually like the series, you just like the self gratification you get from it. Like a pedophile saying he "loves" children.

      What does and does not damage the fan base is not up to personal view points. That's like saying it's a personal view point whether a tree is on fire or not. The fan base is an object, and you can observe what happens to that object, then judge its state of quality.

      Say the fan base is like a public part. And then you have hoodlums come into said part and spray paint everything. Sure, they "like" the park as a place to go and destroy, but they don't actually like the park. Because you're slow in the head, in this analogy, obvious spray paint is crack images, and hoodlums are crack shippers.

    3. No! I'm so sorry I sounded sarcastic! It's just that, with a small English-speaking fandom like Symphogear has, it's not a guarantee there'll be anybody with an opinion worth a shit, you know? Much less an opportunity to actually talk to them. Thanks, by the way, for getting back to me so quickly. Anyway, I got a little excited and blurted out what I thought sounded polite and again, I'm really sorry I upset you.
      So, I understand the basics of semiotics and communicating intent, but clarity isn't always a priority for some creators. A key component of audience engagement is unpredictability, which means a show will try to mislead the audience. If there's romantic or relationship drama, viewers will keep watching to see the resolution of the will-they-won't-they tension, or love triangle, or whatever. Thus, it is in the creators' best interest to maintain that ambiguity, because that's what gets ratings. With that in mind, finding a canon pairing requires seeing through all the bullshit of a creator who is trying with all their might to convince you it could be anyone, because this is their job, they have to make money, and they know if they cynically tease a certain pairing, it will get ratings. It's the essence of capitalism.
      So I'll ask again: how do you tell a real pairing, explicitly supported by the text, from a fake one, also explicitly supported by the text because the creators are filthy liars who manipulate people's feelings for profit?

    4. It's extremely obvious what you're trying to do when you say things like "so knowledgeable about what all the other fans think, that you are qualified to speak for the entire fan base " that you are being very hyperbolic and sarcastic.

      Anyway, your argument in this case of symphogear is totally void, because the characters don't have any sort of romantic interaction with anyone other than their respective partner. And they sure as fuck don't have romantic interest in gangs of faceless men that Zoid loves to retweet and spread around the fan base.

      Also, the most successful and long standard series in Japanese mediums don't have any of that "will they, won't they" nonsense. Bleach, Naruto, Dragon Ball, etc etc. They make it clear right from the start who the MC will end up with. And looking at the medium in a meta sense, there's never any "will they, won't they" in any stories, because it's always obvious who's going to win based on who the cover girl is. First girl wins is a long standing thing in anime/manga. That said, things that do have the "will they won't they" nonsense tend be generic dime a dozen harem series, they always flop in blu rays sales or get their manga canceled.

      Lastly, read Death of The Author, and learn how a story exists in an of itself. While the author may be the one making the story, once a story is told, it's its own entity. If the director made a tweet saying "Hibiki's hair is green" would her hair be green if you went back and watched season 1 again? Of course not. You can assess which pairs have mutual romantic attraction for each other based on the events of the story alone, regardless of what the author might be trying to subvert.

    5. I told you I flubbed it. I said, "you're qualified to speak for the fan base," when I should have said "speak about." I'm pretty sure you agree with that statement, since you say a person can observe what happens to a fan base as an object, then assess its state of quality. Assuming you include yourself as someone who can do that, you are declaring yourself capable of judging the fan base as a whole - along with the effects individuals have on it, I infer - while I lack that confidence. Hardly a hyperbolic statement, though I again admit fault for communicating it poorly.
      Now then, romantic interactions. Like getting naked together in the bath? Holding hands, locking eyes, and blushing? Going on dates? Obviously not, as those aren't exclusive to the "canon" pairings. Sharing a bed? If you accept that, you can pin down HibiMiku. Saying "Love" outside of a song? I think that nets you DMJii, or was that "Love you and everybody?" Saying "Love" within a song adds TsubaMari oh shit back up. Of course, if you've watched any anime at all you know that the word "Love" by itself means jack shit. No, they can yuribait all day long but they'll never confirm anything because that would deprive the virgin otaku crowd of their waifus and the show would lose its core demographic - the same people that time in for Chris's bouncing tits and "Hibiki's butt is her charm point," and the same people that buy faceless old man doujins. I'm sure this isn't news to you, though - you're certainly aware of those viewers. We just seem to disagree on their numbers compared to more wholesome viewers. Unfortunately, there's at least enough demand for that shit that it keeps getting made. Not that I like it one bit, but the market has spoken.
      (Would you like to pick some different examples? I don't think poster girls Rukia, Sakura, and Bulma actually support your argument.)
      I'm actually really glad you brought up death of the author because believe me, I am in a constant state of author assassination, so to speak. Unfortunately, they're still making the show. Additional content is being produced as we speak, and I know from experience that new revelations or developments can, to put it mildly, "recontextualize" our understanding of the canon. This includes pushing back the timetable in relationship progress. The longer we go without any meaningful developments, the more hollow the facade becomes.

    6. Fine, I agree. If you did mean "about" that is a totally different meaning than "for".

      Anyway. If we're going to discuss Symphogear specifically, it's stated in canon that songs are a reflection of what's in a person's heart. So, saying it in a song is what the character truly means. That said, if you genuinely can't see writing on the wall, there have been multiple cases where official sources have referred to Miku as Hibiki's wife. Hell, I don't even like it, because it felt out of character and crass, but in the new mobage game it's inferred that Miku feels up Hibiki and gropes her "down there". But then just slightly later she does the usual "I'll always belong by your side" line. Which just seems out of place. Either way, the romantic implications between them are very obvious.

      As for doujin content. Doujin are made of expense of the artist. There is no real "market" for it. Doujin artists make what they do because they like it. There is no actual profit in it. You can read about it here.

      But, like I stated before. They're not actually fans of the series, they're the pedophiles and hoodlums from the analogies I made before.

      Rukia, Sakura and Bulma are not "first girls". The cover character on all of those series are their respective protagonists, Ichigo, Naruto and Goku. For example of the "first girl effect" look at a series like Toradora, Love Hina, Oh My Goddess!, Kareshi Kanojo, etc etc. Just google "anime first girl" and you'll get results talking about it.

      Pushing back the time table of meaningful events doesn't mean previous events become invalidated. The characters still have a mutual attraction to each other. Those other main stream series that I mentioned before. They all dragged things out. Doesn't make the pairs any less canon.

    7. I hope you're not suggesting that viewers with unwholesome intentions are not true fans because Symphogear is fundamentally wholesome. I also hope you're not saying you have a moral imperative to fight the porn community. But I'll give you credit and assume you aren't. Correct me if I'm wrong.
      I'm curious what you think of the dakimakuras and oppai mousepads, though. I would argue that Symphogear primes its audience to mistreat the characters by objectifying and sexualizing them itself in a manner that is at odds with their own sexuality i.e. in a way they would find uncomfortable were they aware of it. This is a tacit acknowledgment - or even approval - of deviant activities such as OOC porn. The show itself considers them fans, like it or not.
      Finally, the "romantic two girl friendship" trope has made me extremely distrustful of yuri in more mainstream fare. I'm constantly aware that at any time they could decide to upend everything and have everyone hook up with guys, unless there's the kind of proof that would hold up in court. And I honestly believe that having that proof would completely change the dynamic; that there are places the show won't go with their relationship until it's ready to directly state that they are a couple, rather than just imply.

    8. That's what I've been saying since the very start. It's clear you totally failed to understand the analogy about pedophiles "loving" children. To be a fan of something means to appreciate it. To appreciate something means to recognize its full worth. In this case, the full worth of the characters in Symphogear does not include being low brow sex tools, or mindless shipping fodder and interchangeable parts. How can you be certain of that claim? Because it doesn't happen within the series itself. You don't see Hibiki fucking faceless guys in the series, nor do you see shipping garbage in the series itself. Thus, you objectively claim, based on the definition of words, that they are not fans.

      As for the dakimakuras and mousepads, they are joke items, and until you see the characters mindlessly having sex with faceless dudes on them, they don't really support your argument. Even more so when you have daki like Hibiki and Miku's that fit together like two halves of a puzzle.

      The concept romantic two girl friendship is used when the girls actually have a real male romantic interest. Like is stories such as Marimite or Angelic Layer (or pretty much anything by CLAMP).
      And like I said before, the writer himself called Miku Hibiki's wife. The director drew Miku kissing Hibiki, in the radio show Miku said she was Hibiki's wife, in the OVAs Miku shows direct romantic attraction to Hibiki, Hibiki says she can't wait to sleep with Miku. etc etc. I could go on, but you should be able to understand the point by now. There's no chance of them just throwing a random male love interest in there to break them up.

    9. Oh dear. No, I quite agree that objectifying the characters is seriously at odds with a genuine, deep appreciation for the work. But I have to draw the line here. I ignored your pedophile analogy because the rest of your arguments have merit and are worth discussing. It, however, does not. Even with your bizarrely puritanical approach to fictional characters, you cannot possibly be ignorant of how much porn there is. You also understand, doubtless, that porn takes recognizable elements of reality and presents them in an inherently unrealistic, sexualized form. Every frame of porn, live and animated, ever created is a sexually-charged misrepresentation of its source. From sexy librarians and sexy maids to Kirk/Spock fanfiction, this pattern has repeated itself across more content than you could possibly consume in your entire life. If you insist on equating sexual fantasy with child rape, then child rape is the most common activity in the history of human civilization. And you have to equate them to make your point, because if you don't your entire criticism is reduced to a tautological "No True Scotsman" fallacy - bigger fans respect the characters more. I don't know if Zoid uses those faceless old man doujins himself, but the moral reprehensibility of his signal boosting them is predicated on the morally reprehensible "fakeness" of any fan who finds them acceptable. Thing is, there's a sexual component to most fans' relationship with a work. How many "true" Star Wars fans do you think there would there be if we excluded the ones who were turned on by Princess Leia's slave bikini? And Return of the Jedi was rated PG. Meanwhile, we regularly see the underage girls of Symphogear completely naked. You mentioned death of the author because although something wasn't made explicit in the text it was nonetheless easily inferred from available information. So then, what can we infer from the existence of official "ready for lovemaking" body pillows? A work doesn't need to explicitly depict sex with faceless men to sexualize its characters, and indeed it won't, because then it would just be porn. I said I hoped you didn't think Symphogear is wholesome, because it isn't. It really fucking isn't. Good God, it isn't. All those things you deny it has, like low brow sex tools, mindless shipping fodder, and interchangeable parts? Those are the main draw, after the singing + action combo. You didn't think the main cast were gorgeous high school maybe-lesbians to be progressive, did you? You didn't think there was any other reason that the Symphogears were all so, I believe the term is, "stripperiffic," did you? You didn't think they went to the beach because volleyball was essential to Maria's character arc, did you? They're in a goddamn Skinner Box, and the faceless dudes are the viewers, gathered around and drooling as the camera lingers on their tits and ass. You may be blind to this because you avoid thinking of them that way yourself, but the foundation for faceless man sex fantasies is very clearly present in the work itself, in how it treats its characters. Nobody else is watching it for its nuanced exploration of same-sex relationships.

    10. It really is a hassle having to explain the basics of critical thinking to people over the course of an argument. You don't understand how to think in terms of concepts rather than literally. In the analogy of comparing crack shippers to pedophiles I am showing the difference between liking something for what it is, and liking something for what you get out of it. A pedophile does not love children, they love the sexual pleasure they get from children. But obviously, the concept of children does not actually include sexuality. This CONCEPT can be applied to nearly anything in which the third party does not actually appreciate the subject, but what they derive from the subject. And I've already explained how this applies to Symphogear. I used pedophiles for this analogy because it's a very stark contrast, so that makes it easy to understand. Yet somehow, you failed to understand it anyway.

      So, like was already explained to you, seeing as how neither you nor Zoid actually appreciate the characters for what they are, rather than what you get out of them, it's a given that you're not actually fans.

      > I don't know if Zoid uses those faceless old man doujins himself
      Considering he buys them, blogs about them, retweets the artists selling them, and the likes, you can take a pretty good guess that he doesn't give a shit about the real characters.

      Death of the Author doesn't mean anything at all is valid. It means what is told with in the story itself is valid. You're trying to use it as a cover all excuse for "anything you think you can imply is valid". Which is just outright retarded. You do realize that a work having sexual content in it does not instantly mean "being fucked by faceless old fat men", right? Sexual attraction is one of the key elements that separates platonic love from romantic love.

      Either way, let's see you find anything in the series that supports you claim there is omnipandering shipping fodder. Because, in reality, the characters are all pretty well established in their pairs.

      Also, fan service and named transformation scenes does not at all mean the creators are attempting to give viewers a set up for faceless man gang rape doujin. Take the Nanoha series for example. Tons of fan service, yet NanoFate is one of the longest starting yuri pairs, and even the creators talk about them being married and having kids.

    11. Oh, I understand. The analogy makes perfect sense if you're right about everything else. If you got the definition of "fan" right ("an enthusiastic devotee, follower, or admirer of a sport, pastime, celebrity, etc."). If there were only ever one perfect way to appreciate a work. If fictional characters were real people, instead of products being sold. If doujins affected anyone besides the person reading them. If "but he doesn't appreciate you like I do!" weren't such a pathetic complaint. If any of it, at all, depended on what you thought.
      I'm disappointed. I played devil's advocate, but I agree with you on just about everything - sexualizing the characters is awful, there are official pairings that should be respected, death of the author in the proper places, etc. I wanted you to convince me. But you couldn't. You have the burden of proof, to justify harassing and bullying everyone who isn't a fan the way you wanted, and you can't convince anybody.
      I know you won't learn anything from this, because you're impervious to new ideas. But I learned something. At the one thing you want to do, you're a failure. Good luck cleansing the fandom with insufferable demands and petty insults.
      (In accordance with the sentiment expressed above, that I have nothing more to gain from this exchange, I will not be reading future messages.)

    12. I like how obvious it is that you're getting more and more upset the more you're proven wrong. You failed to understand even basic analogies yet you try to pretend you're actually the smart one here. Hell, you don't even understand your own words, like the term "burden of proof" which doesn't mean even close to what you think it means.

      I knew from the start exactly who you were, and how you are shipping cancer, from your very first "typo" it was a given.

      And you're not a fan "in the way I want you to be", you're not a fan at all. And I'm not the one bullying or harassing people. That's all on you. Here, just read this, some high lights of your posts.

      And I don't really need to convince a lot of people, considering what I say is common sense to most.
      It's funny how you try to pretend I'm not open to new idea, but why the hell should I listen to someone who's wrong about literally everything they say?

  10. Can you explain what plus materials are and where to get them, please?

    1. They are datachips that permanently raise the stats of a character. You can get them from the friend gacha or buy them from the event shop.

  11. Hey Zoid, why are you not replying to what people said to you before?
    If he's telling the truth, you are a lair and no matter what, that makes you in the wrong.

Past National / International Tours

We undertake national or international tours approximately every four years. These tours allow us to share our music-making with audiences far and wide, experience different regions of the United States and different countries of the world, and form lasting friendships with each other.

Photo of students in front of Dvorak Hall2016 - Central Europe

In June 2016, the Cal Poly Symphony traveled to Central Europe, performing in the Matthias Church (Budapest), Dvorak Hall (Prague) and St. Stephen's Cathedral (Vienna).  In each city, we collaborated with European choirs: the Prelude Choir of Budapest (Hungary), Charles University Choir (Prague, Czech Republic), Prague Singers (Czech Republic) and Cantus Novus Wien (Vienna, Austria).

In each of these world-class cities, we benefited from a guided tour and a balance between planned activities and free time, during which Symphony members could explore on their own.  This they did!  Travelers enjoyed the huge variety of cultural sights these cities offered and relaxed a bit in their down time (see our Facebook page for pictures).

Photo of students in the Kennedy Center2012 - Washington D.C.

In April 2012, the Cal Poly Symphony was invited to perform as the showcase ensemble of the Washington, D.C. International Music Festival. The concert, which took place in the renowned Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (pictured), was the culmination of this four-day festival.

In the days before our performance, students had the opportunity to visit museums on the National Mall, dance at a fantastic club, and experience the cultural wealth of our nation's capitol first hand.

Past In-state Tours

The Symphony travels within its home state of California to meet musically active high school students, perform for them, and discuss how one can continue to be a musician at Cal Poly regardless of major. We also use the opportunity to attend performances of the best orchestras in the state and visit each city's top cultural attractions.

2015 - San Francisco

The Symphony traveled to San Francisco to perform for - and meet - students at Lowell High School, a public magnet school known for its academic excellence. We also attended a truly inspirational concert of the San Francisco Symphony and enjoyed activities organized by our student officers.

2011 - Los Angeles

We visited the Community Youth Orchestra of Southern California (Irvine, CA) and performed Bach's Concerto for Two Violins. We then invited the musicians to join us for a side-by-side reading of Stokowski's arrangement of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor and a reading of their repertoire: Beethoven's Symphony No. 3, "Eroica" (I). We rounded out our tour by attending a Los Angeles Philharmonic concert, with Gustavo Dudamel conducting Mahler's Symphony No. 9. Incredible!

2010 - Santa Rosa

The Symphony traveled north to the Bay Area and played Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, "From the New World" for the Santa Rosa High School. We attended a concert of the San Francisco Symphony, featuring music of Ravel, Messaien and George Benjamin, and the next day, explored the museums and grounds of San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.

2009 - San Diego

On the suggestion (urging) of one of our student officers, we traveled south to San Diego. It was an excellent idea! We played Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto (W. Terrence Spiller, piano) for the El Camino High School string orchestras and explored Balboa Park, all in one day. While some students chose the San Diego Zoo, others were treated to an impromptu tour of the Air and Space Museum before relaxing over dinner in the Gaslamp District downtown.

2007 - Los Angeles

We had the opportunity to play with (not for) another orchestra in 2007. Our tour culminated with a side-by-side performance of Respighi's Pines of Rome with the Pasadena Young Musicians Orchestra. Before this concert, we had the chance to explore Old Town Pasadena and attend a Los Angeles Philharmonic performance of Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No. 1 and Elgar's Enigma Variations.

2006 - San Francisco

Our very first tour took us north to San Francisco, where we gave a preview performance of our entire Spring Concert: Elgar's Sea Pictures (Jacalyn Kreitzer, mezzo-soprano) and Holst's The Planets. We performed for the Aragon High School orchestra, which had visited Cal Poly earlier for a clinic. We also enjoyed a San Francisco Symphony performance of William Schuman's Violin Concerto (Gil Shaham, violin), and Robert Schumann's Symphony No. 3, “Rhenish.”

One Cup of Coffee by Bob Marley
Transcribed by John Stewart

Intro:  D#, A#7,D#

One cup of Coffee then I go, though I just dropped by to let you know
             D#                D#7            G#
That I'm leaving you tommorrow, I cause you no more sorrow
D#             A#7             D#
One cup of coffee then I go

I brought the money, like my lawyer said to do
But it won't replace the heartache that I've caused you
It won't take the place of loving you, I know
So One cup of coffee then I go

G#                                              D#
Tell the kids I came last night and kissed them while they slept
G#                                              A#7
Make my coffee sweet and warm, just the way you used to light my heart

I brought the money.......(repeat verse and fade)

"Excuse me while I light my splif"

Put the E strng at the bottom and the G string at the top. This is easier to read for us righties, and there are a lot more of us than lefties. I don't think you know much about the song. My first clue was when you said Ron welty was the bassist. Ron welty is (more accurately WAS) the drummer. The Bassist is Greg K(resel). You got a majoriy of the notes wrong. It doesn't go 9/0-2-2-0-2-2-0-2-2-5-5-7-7, it goes 11/0-2-2-0-2-2-0-2-2-12-12-14-14. Then you forgot to add the fills from the end of the first verse, plus got the chorus wrong. See my upcoming tab of it. Next time, don't write a tab that is a copy of someone elses. There is a possibility the "Original" was wrong. Right it from scratch.
