A friend...

I remember my mom testifying one time at church and she shared something that I had NEVER heard before!!! It was soooo neat I just have to share it with you all!!!
She said that when we lived in New York, before we got in church, one of the things that prompted her to EVEN go to church at all, was that she was looking for a friend. She said that although there were people our family associated with, she didn't feel like she really had her own friend. She was hoping for someone that she could do stuff with her or just talk with on the phone!
 So when the Sis. Kathy, the lady across the street from us invited my mom to church, one of the things that prompted her to go was she thought..."Maybe if I go, I'll find a FRIEND!!!" She said that there were a lot of people that she met at that church that she enjoyed fellowship with. BUUUUUUUT...
 she says that when she got the Holy Ghost, she got a friend that has NEVER left her side. We were only at that church for nine months before we moved to AZ, she left behind her aquantances at that church, BUT Jesus, came right along with her!!! Its been over 25 years, and she says that Jesus is STILL the best friend she has ever had!!!
.Are you looking for a friend?
 JESUS wants to be YOUR friend!!! GO TO JESUS!!!
♪♫♫Oh, What a friend we have in Jesus!♪♪♪
... a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
(Proverbs 18:24)
♥Mary Frances :)

Cloudland Canyon/Citay
split 7”
(Intercoastal Artists)

Galaxie 500 covers from what seems like a logical pairing of bands, both for the covers and a split, though I’ve heard just a little from either group. Citay take on “Tugboat” with great respect for the Galaxie vibe, a pretty straight tribute, and there’s a towering guitar solo that seals the deal. Cloudland Canyon get appropriately blissed out with their version of “Temperature’s Rising,” more abstract and smeared in a way that connects the dots over to MBV and Spacemen 3. Should be a fan pleaser, but first, for gosh sakes, go after those recent Galaxie reissues if you need to and haven’t already. (

Henry Rollins plays cloudland canyon on KCRW

Henry Rollins

KCRW Broadcast 99

SAT JAN 22, 2011

We got a thing going on tonight! Check it out. This is an interesting show. It goes all over the place and even features a couple of songs that are pretty difficult to obtain.

The Welders track is from a 4 track EP coming out at some point, if it’s not out already. It’s an all girl band from Missouri I believe. They recorded the EP in 1979 and it’s only coming out now. I don’t know why. They sent it to me and I played it in my kitchen and knew immediately it had to be on our show. The Bloody Amateur is at this point, a one-man band in the form of Andy Comer of Teenbeat band Tel Aviv. I don’t know how many times I have played those albums. Anyway, Andy and I keep in touch and a few months ago, he told me he had started writing and recording again under this new heading. He sent me some new ideas the other day and I asked if I could play tonight’s track and he said yes. So, lucky us. Later on tonight, we will listen to one of my favorite Tel Aviv tracks.

Interesting Nick Cave track from the Le Peuple Migrateur Soundtrack CD. New Medications album on Dischord, perhaps my favorite of their three releases. Great stuff. New James Chance record gets an airing here tonight.

Another smasher from Stonehelm! Load your pipe and believe the hype! Cool track the Stark Reality album. It was just sent to me, I don’t know anything about them yet. I dug it and thought you all might want to check a track from it. Great archival release from Dischord with the Artificial Peace ’81 Sessions LP. It comes with a download card. That one’s at I am loving this one.

Cool Re-issue Alert Dept.: Dr. Strange Records has re-issued all the Chiefs songs on limited edition LP. It sounds great!

Liza Richardson always plays cool jams on her show. She scooped me like a pail full of sand on this great Music Of Siam CD. I finally got my own after hearing her blasting cool tracks on her show. Now, we catch up. Great album!

I don’t know what else to tell you, Fanatic besides get close up on this show, dig the waves of jamaliciousness, it being Jamuaury and STAY FANATIC!!!

Gettysburg Prepares for a Weekend of Motorcycle Fun

If the roads are filling up with streams of motorcycles in and around the Gettysburg area in Pennsylvania, there’s good reason. Gettysburg Bike Week kicks off this week.

Back for its 16th anniversary rally at the Allstar Events Complex in Gettysburg, PA, Gettysburg Bike Week kicks off Thursday, July 6, 2017, and runs through Sunday, July 9.

“Hard to believe this is the 16th year, but you know what they say about time flying and having fun,” said GBW event coordinator Kelly Shue.

This year, GBW is proud to feature English rock band Foghat and premier male revue 50 Shades of Men among this year’s entertainment slate. Both acts perform Friday night. Formed in England in the early 1970s, Foghat has sold millions of records and rocked audiences for decades. Known for their distinctive slide guitar sound and boogie woogie rhythms, Foghat continues to bombard FM airwaves to this day with classic rockers like “Slow Ride,” “Fool for the City” and their hard swinging version of Willie Dixon’s blues banger “I Just Want To Make Love To You.” You can’t help but shake what you got when Foghat hits the stage.

Pricing for Gettysburg Bike Week is as follows:

  • $40 per-person 4-day passes, available online and at the gates.
  • $25 per-person 2-day passes, available online and at the gates.
  • $15 per-person 1-day passes, available online and at the gates.

Event organizers have something for everyone. For the ladies, GBW welcomes the best male burlesque show in the country. Composed of national and international touring Chippendales past members, 50 Shades of Men is the premier male revue performing today, delighting women everywhere with “disarmingly sexy, yet very tasteful routines. Designed exclusively for women the group combine a perfect blend of music, hot dance moves and sensual theatrics,” and the ladies are sure to love it.

There will be a Bikini Bike Wash by the Cherry Bombs

Other top-flight music acts for this year’s rally include the Hank Williams, Jr., tribute band All My Rowdy Friends and country music sensation Craig Campbell; both play the Budweiser Main Stage on Thursday night. And on Saturday evening, Blizzard of Ozzy, the country’s preeminent Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne tribute band, and 80s hard rockers Warrant will be bringing it to the people.

Legendary emcee Jack Schitt is back again to perform master of ceremonies duties throughout the week on the Budweiser Stage, Gin Gypsies will be slinging the drinks, and this year’s rally will feature a cornhole tournament (directed by York Adams Cornhole). Expect performances by the International Bikini Team as well, heavy competition in the Cycle Source Ride-In Bike Show, Ride and Rodeo; the Parade of Chrome; and that perennial crowd-pleaser, the GBW wet T-shirt contest. One, two and four-day passes are available here.

Because no rally would be complete without great riding, whether riders want to see historic battlegrounds or just hit the road for a great cruise, hundreds of miles of the best riding in the East surrounds Gettysburg are just a twist of the throttle away. In addition to fantastic solo riding, GBW also features awesome group rides and the Pink Journey of Lights and Stars of Hope Charity Rides.

Hot issue: Half-inch cast nets

POSTED: December 11, 2007 7:19 a.m.
I received some fishing reports this week and was glad to them from several fishermen.
Clayton Boyer fishing with Billy Davis landed 12 trout and one whiting. Mack Harper fishing with Treavor Jowers and Marcus Young caught seven spot tail bass and 10 trout. John Rogers, fishing with Rip Grinstead, landed 30 trout and seven bass. Mr. Ginterthe, a famous photographer, and daughter Lu Smith, who fished for two days, caught 18 trout.
I just read in the paper about the DNR going to outlaw half-inch cast nets in 2009.
I do not believe the half-inch cast nets are having any impact on the shrimp fishery. All they are doing are depriving the fishermen from catching some shrimp for fish bait and a few to eat.
Just to remind you if you do go fishing to always keep a tight line.
— Tight Line

PS - Well friends, the Tight Line Jr. dock tour featuring Al Ramsey and Wayne Ramsey landed 12 spot tail bass, eight trout, one black drum and four sheephead. Hope to have photos next week.
We would not have had   the energy to pull in the Big One without a hot bowl of my sister’s low country shrimp and rice.

2014/365 Day Art Challenge, day 23

Well, everyone, I didn't make it. I've been very ill the last couple of days, and didn't get anything posted because I didn't make anything. For those of you who don't know about Lupus, you can be fine one day and be completely incapacitated the next. Such has been my life. I have been in truly terrible pain for several days. But I am trying to get myself back together and go on with the challenge, because I really think it is an inspiration. So please don't give up on me, I am still out here.
 Oh, and by the way. Don't make eyeballs completely round, without some sort of holding device. You can't paint them very effectively. Live and learn!...

Plan The Journey Of Your Dreams With These Necessary Travel Tips
30.10.2016 07:13

When you take a trip, you want to relax and enjoy yourself, not worry about what might go wrong. In this article, you'll find plenty of excellent tips that can help you any time you travel. Read on to find some great ways to make the most out of your traveling experience.

Before you go on a trip, ask around for tips from friends and family. See who has been there before and/or what they'd recommend you either visit or avoid. Are there particular restaurants, sights, or shows you should see? You can also check out sites on the internet that provide advice from fellow travelers.

Be respectful and patient towards security checkpoints and customs officials. In most cases, these exist for your safety. If not, being upset still won't help you get through any faster. In fact, making a fuss at the security checkpoint is almost always a ticket to the express lane for the extra search.

When you sign up for your passport, make sure you fill in the emergency information. You should always prepare for the worst and the unexpected. Should something happen to you while in a foreign country, it is important to have this sort of information available to contact friends, family, or loved ones.

Not all medical insurance plans cover you when you travel abroad. When making a plan to travel to international destinations it's a good idea to look into purchasing medical coverage for your trip. So, before you go you may want to research what kind of medical coverage is available to you and what the costs might be.

Do some research ahead of time and look for dining credits and coupons for your destination. You can also save a lot of money by getting advice about where to eat before you depart. This is better than asking for when you are already hungry and in a strange place.

If you plan to opt for a night flight or just a very long flight in general, it may be best to bring some sort of sleeping aid. It's quite difficult to sleep on airplanes anyway, but if you take a sleeping aid right before takeoff, you can arrive at your destination fresh and ready to take on the world!

Use soft-sided carry on luggage, instead of a hard-sided case. When trying to cram your luggage into the overhead bin, soft-sided cases will have more give and be more easily stowed. There is no chance that a hard-sided case that is too big will ever fit. It will have to be gate checked and you won't be able to access it until you deplane.

Bring a disposable camera with you when you travel. Although many people these days use digital cameras, disposable cameras are more convenient. You do not have to worry about charging them, and because they do not require a memory card, you do not have to worry about the pictures being deleted or ruined.

For smokers who are looking at long travel times, you can chew nicotine gum or wear a nicotine patch. Although it may not be the same as actually having a cigarette, it should help to curb the urge to smoke. You can also bring lots of gum, and every time you crave a cigarette, pop a piece of gum into your mouth.

Show your loyalty. Even if you are only planning to stay one night, if your hotel has a loyalty program, it can be worth it to join. In addition to additional amenities, such as garment pressing or free meals, a guest who is perceived as a loyal customer is less likely to be chosen if the hotel is overbooked and needs to cancel a reservation or needs to substitute a lower quality room.

A great spot for budget travelers is Sarajevo. Completely affordable and so much to do, see, and eat here! Heavily influenced by Bosnian culture, experience sights and sounds of a foreign land and a lovely history. To fully experience Bosnian culture here, try to see if you could possibly stay with a local Bosnian family.

There are many places when traveling where you can sample local food and not break the bank. Try locating restaurants and eateries in central markets and areas. It is recommended that you arrive fairly early as is generally for breakfast and lunch. Most of the buildings these are in are very charming and indicative of local culture.

Think about what could improve your trip. This article provides a good starting point, but it does not include all the ideas. Apply some of these tips on your next trip. Great advice will go a long way towards making your trip more enjoyable.

Mongo plugin 0.2 available

Unfortunately, it seems the approval step is taking more time than I think. Usually, it is about 1 day max, sometimes 2 hours. I sent an email to the webmaster but no explanation so far.

If the plugin is not available by the end of this Thursday I will make it available on the github project page. It means you will have to install it manually (Settings -> Plugins -> Install from disk...).

I hope this situation will be back to normal soon.

Edit: If you want to install it, use this link.
Edit 2: The plugin is available now. According to the plugin admin, the plugins validation has been slowed during some days due to annual holidays.

Out Season Training: Week 1, Ride 2

My plan for today was to jump on the bike. This is not typical routine for me. I am used to running on Tuesdays and Thursdays with a longer run on the weekend. This training is really changing things up for me and so far I have found it to be favorable despite my brain not wanting to always adapt.

The plan for today was as follows:

MS: 2 x (5 x 30/30) @ Vo2/Zone5/Very Hard.

Take 2′ easy between each set of 5 x 30/30’s.

Remainder of any time you have available (if any, not required) @ 80-85%/Zone3/Mod-Hard.

These are Vo2 sets, as equal parts “ON” and “OFF” time, where ON is done at your Vo2 power, Z5 heart rate, or Very Hard effort, and OFF is at 65% power, Z1 heart rate, or Easy effort. For example, for the 30/30’s, you will do 30″ ON, then 30″ OFF, repeating this for the specified set.

I won’t lie, looking at this workout I thought it looked rather easy. I even asked on the forums about the ease of this workout(even with being out of shape). However, I was reminded over and over not to overdo things and stick to the plan. So, I did just that and I found this workout to be far from easy. It was challenging in a couple ways.

I started off with a 16 minute warm up to get loose. I started a bit later than normal (6:15). My Netflix was not working, my bike tire was flat, and I just was not ready to go. I also overslept a bit so I started in a rush.

You can then see the workout splits below. When I was cranking hard at Zone 5 I was riding 34+ MPH. That is moving. One thing I struggled with was my HR. The HR readings are delayed so as I was cranking I would not see the numbers until the time was almost over and then during the cool down my HR was at the peak. I had to just realize that when the time hit to push as hard as I could.

My legs were burning during these 30 second bursts. After the two minute rest and preparing the next round I had to really focus on working hard. This was no joke!

What I found to be a struggle was to then continue riding in Zone 3. I realized today that my previous efforts without proper testing and measures I never rode in Zone 3 when I thought I was. To maintain Zone 3 was not hard, but it was definitely a step up from my typical workouts in the past. I realized that this program is going to work for me as it keeps me dialed in with certain zones.

I did make myself ride for 60 minutes. I don’t want to shortchange my time. I need to keep pushing myself and training strong when I am committed.

During the ride I watched the 30/30 episode on Michael Jordan when he played baseball. It was interesting to watch this journey and the reasons why he did what he did. Very fascinating and gave me some food for thought about always pushing myself and when the joy is not there to move on.

Tomorrow is a rest day and then this weekend brings up one more ride and my second run for the week.

Hallelujah for CONCLUSIONS! Today we bid farewell to the first decade of the 21st century. And with the last day of December, the REVERB10 CHALLENGE concludes. Today’s final writing prompt asks us to close out 2010 by TELLING A STORY OF SELF. What would you tell others is the central story of you—a story that gets to the CORE of your YOUNESS?

For NOW, my STORY of ME-NESS can be found throughout the multiple entries in this blog, Coffee with Halleluljah. I am a SPIRITUAL ART PILGRIM on a JOURNEY where ART matters. ART heals. ART informs. WELCOME 2011!

Thank you REVERB10! It has been fun journeying with you through the waning days of 2010. Dear Pilgrims, SOUL BLOG with me in response to December 31st REVERB10 PROMPT: Core story. What central story is at the core of you, and how do you share it with the world? (Bonus: Consider your reflections from this month. Look through them to discover a thread you may not have noticed until today.)

Hallelujah for gifts! In 2010, one of the most important gifts I received (and I received many) was the gift of EXPERIENCING ART-FULL-NESS in EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE I SOJOURN.

By EXPERIENCING ART-FULL-NESS, I mean ABSORBING the fruits of creative endeavors, really SOAKING IN what other ART PILGRIMS have made. Although I have written about this topic in other blogs (See the one on the Abundance of the Georgia Coast or one about Fossil Art in Hughenden, Queensland, Australia ), let me give you a more recent example.

Yesterday, my Chiboogamoo and I JOURNEYED close to 120 miles northwest of Atlanta to Chattanooga, Tennessee, to visit the Tennessee Aquarium We were craving to be in touch with creatures of the water, and we were dazzled by the Tennessee Aquariums’ collections from rivers around the world, reef animals, and ocean inhabitants. Take for instance, the sculptural beauty of jellyfish.

On our PILGRIMAGE from the Tennessee Aquarium to lunch on what Chattanoogans call "the hill," we crossed a magical green glass bridge and walked along the Tennessee River. It was as pedestrians that we discovered Chattanooga’s love of sculpture! Along the hill in front of the Hunter Museum of American Art are breathtaking sculptures of varying size and media—creating ART-FULL-NESS!

Then JOY! We approached the River Gallery Sculpture Garden! Images forged from ARTISTS’ SOULS certainly lift the SOJOURNER’S SPIRIT! Are you like me PILGRIM? Do you too have the need to SEE the concrete manifestation of the beauty of another’s soul as expressed in ART-FULL-NESS?

And then there was the human made ART, which connected and expanded our visceral awe of the jellyfish! The Tennessee Aquarium and Hunter Museum calls this collaboration nature and artist: “JELLIES LIVING ART.” Stephen Rolfe Powell named his jelly series “SCREAMERS” (See this short video to see the dramatic construction of these glass sculptures).

Cork Marcheschi, along with his partner James Nowak, made these sculptures that appear to hold a living spirit within their glass form. Who would know without an explanation that the “lightning in the bottle” is gas contained in a vacuum and then electrified! This series is called “LIQUID LUMINOUS SECRETS.”

Hallelujah! We can heighten our EXPERIENCE of BEING here on this EARTH with ART-FULL-NESS. Thank you Chattanooga for your dedication to the ARTS! You LIFTED my SPIRITS! Thank you REVERB10 for this opportunity to be thankful for the magnificent gift of ART-FULL-NESS—it is omnipresent!

SOUL BLOG with Hallelujah. Share your response to the December 30th REVERB10 PROMPT: Gift. This month, gifts and gift-giving can seem inescapable. What's the most memorable gift, tangible or emotional, you received this year?

Hallelujah for moments that are meaningful to one’s life and that serve as “MARKERS” to SIGNIFY CHANGE! In September 2010, my husband Chiboogamoo and I rented an art studio space TOGETHER at Sycamore Place Gallery in Decatur, Georgia, with a sincere desire to COLLABORATE using our distinctively different creativities. Length of Leaseà12 months!

We christened our studio space, “THE MEME STUDIO” as an experiment in our marriage. Because we forgot to have children and will not be passing on our “genes,” we are remembering ourselves in MEMES! That is, we are PROPAGATING OURSELVES by making art TOGETHER—the paleontologist and visionary artist! Here we ARE two strong bold individuals (HALLEUJAHTRUTH and CHIBOOGAMOO) in the equation: ME + ME = MEMEà to perpetuate units of cultural information in drawings, paintings and words!

Four months have already passed since the “defining moment” of signing the lease and moving in our lights, tables, and art supplies. In the EVOLUTION of our MARRIAGE in the MEME STUDIO we are still in the Precambrian! We are gleefully anticipating evolving in 2011!

Thank you REVERB10 for today’s prompt! Hallelujah for MEMEs and GOOD COMPANIONSHIP on the PILGRIMAGE! Dear Pilgrims SOUL BLOG with me by responding to the REVERB10 PROMPT for December 29th: Defining moment. Describe a defining moment or series of events that has affected your life this year.

(This yellow trilobite with its trail is an example of one of our first collaborations! To make ourselves more comfy in our studio, we made a stencil of both a body fossil and trace fossil and spray painted numerous images in blue and yellow!)

Hallelujah for a new year and new opportunities! In 2011, Hallelujah is expecting to continue celebrating LIFE with the JOYFUL EASE of a CAT NAPPING! And e x t e n d i n g that way of BEING into the ALLness of EVERYthing!

What are 10 ACTIONS or THOUGHTS to achieve the JOYFUL EASE of a CAT NAPPING? Let’s playfully propose or compose answers to this question!

1. DO NOT JUDGE—Remember from Natalie Goldberg’s writing workshop: “Not Good. Not Bad. Just is.” (Read her book, Writing Down the Bones for joyfully strengthening your writing muscle!)

2. LAUGH—HO HO HA HA HA! Practice frequent, regular laughing which lowers blood pressure, boosts the immune system, and burns calories! (Check out Dr. Kataria and Laughter Yoga for information about laughing.)

3. CREATE EVERY DAY—No matter what, HAVE COFFEE with HALLELUJAH at dawn. If one has time for a morning drink, one has time to draw, paint, or write. Morning creations are surprising. (I write about my journey as a spiritual art pilgrim in my blog, Coffee With Hallelujah.)

4. RECEIVE LOVE and APPRECIATION—Soak in the LOVING VIBES from everyone around me. Welcome it with open arms. Say THANK YOU. (I learned how to say “thank you” to the appreciators of my art through working with creativity coach extraordinaire, Lesly Fredman. As silly as it might seem, I used to diminish my art in the face of a compliment!)

5. LISTEN with my EARS—Open my ears to hear myself and others. We speak LIFE’s POETRY. Words can be as exciting and thrilling as they are challenging to understand!

6. LISTEN with my WHOLE BEING—Accept with knowing patience the messages I receive from others’ expressions, postures, and overall energy. Speak to them based on this listening.

7. THE KEY WORD is FUN—Replace the word “work” with the word “fun.” For example, Instead of saying, “I’m working on this drawing,” I will say, “I’m having fun making this drawing.”

8. EXPERIENCE PLEASURE REGULARLY—Instead of being a Spartan, gleefully try new media and infinite colors of pink, open my tongue to delightful tastes, my body to luxurious stretches, walks, and massages, my mind to books on philosophy of spirit and art, and my heart to loving YOU, you fellow pilgrim.

9. USE the EXPRESSION “I WANT” COURAGEOUSLY—Trust that the GREAT MYSTERY wants me to want. Experiencing APPETITE with the knowledge of fulfilled GRATIFICATION is JOYFUL indeed. Even unfulfilled WANT is enlivening.

10. BREATHE LOVE—Embrace the LOVE that surrounds me with AMAZEMENT and APPRECIATION. Give love to myself, my Chiboogamoo and family. Give love to my dear friends and students. And yes, give love to YOU, pilgrims, and the GREAT MYSTERY!

Hallelujah to REVERB10 for giving me this opportunity to think about THOUGHTS and ACTIONS to ELABORATE ON THE JOYFUL EASE OF A CAT NAPPING in 2011.

Soul Blog with Hallelujah on December 28th’s REVERB10 PROMPT: Achieve. What’s the thing you most want to achieve next year? How do you imagine you’ll feel when you get it? Free? Happy? Complete? Blissful? Write that feeling down. Then, brainstorm 10 things you can do, or 10 new thoughts you can think, in order to experience that feeling today.

Hallelujah for FOOD that nourishes the SOUL! One kind of food that provides the most profound yet ORDINARY JOY is SOUP. In fall 2010, my Chiboogamoo cooked exquisite soups to feed me in the evenings on my return home from school, and the most delightful one was KABOCHA SQUASH and CRANBERRY BEAN STEW!

A yummy warm evening meal with one’s family seems so ORDINARY, doesn’t it? However, my brilliant husband and I had recently obtained a new cookbook, “LOVE SOUP,” by Anna Thomas renown for her first recipe book, “THE VEGETARIAN EPICURE.” Each SOUP my Chiboogamoo produced from this book was tonguefully tastey and JOYFULLY new to us. Try, for instance, ROASTED POBLANO CHILE SOUP, which is a pureed blend of onions and vegetable broth topped with goat cheese and pine nuts. Or another heart stopper was “GREEN SOUP,” which absorbed bunches of kale, spinach, green onions, and cilantro!

But the hearty SOUL TOUCHING soup we will be revisiting this week when we have friends over will be KABOCHA SQUASH and CRANBERRY BEAN STEW! Since Chiboogamoo and I are occasional carnivores but primarily vegetarians, we eat a lot of beans! Finding a bean soup recipe which employs a pound of green fibrous KALE knocked our socks off! This recipe produces such a large batch of soup it seems bottomless serving infinite number of friends with its rich supply of nutrients!

Hallelujah for SHARED meals of SOUP creating vast ORDINARY MOMENTS! Thanks to two days of REVERB10 prompts that had me put “two and two” together. Anna Thomas writes in her introductory notes to “LOVE SOUP”:

There is an old Spanish saying, much repeated: “Of love and soup, the second is better.” But I say, why choose? Be in love. Eat soup. Love soup!

SOUP BLOG with Hallelujah and tell me what SOUP feeds your SOUL! Or respond to the REVERB10 prompts for the two days following Christmas.

December 26—REVERB10 PROMPT: Soul food. What did you eat this year that you will never forget? What went into your mouth & touched your soul?

December 27—REVERB10 PROMPT: Ordinary joy. Our most profound joy is often experienced during ordinary moments. What was one of your most joyful ordinary moments this year?

Hallelujah for images that capture the human spirit! Hallelujah for SYMBOLS in these images that provide meaning and courage to each and every one of us. Today, to meet the REVERB10 December 25th CHALLENGE, I have chosen one of the images I made at the beginning of my JOURNEY along the Dinosaur Trail in Queensland, Australia.

This image, “Stepping Out with Black Cockatoos and Fruit Bats,” began in the tropical city of Townsville along the northeastern coast of Australia. Because it was the end of June—winter—the cool comfortable temperatures permitted me to sit out on our modest balcony with a view of the Coral Sea, a cup of coffee, and traveling art supplies.

The night before, we had watched Fruit Bats, or “flying foxes,” drop from their roosting trees and fly into darkness, their heavy mammal bodies lifted by fleshy webby wings. In the morning, noisy mobs of lorikeets had roared by our windows at sunrise. The Townsville environment percolating around me was rich with seen and unseen fauna. From my perch overlooking the sea, I asked myself the following question: “What does my SOUL want to express about BEING here right now?”

“Stepping Out with Black Cockatoos and Fruit Bats” emerged, with me, Hallelujah Truth, entering the world of SEA and AIR. I am not alone in this adventure. Wallaby, my VULNERABILITY, accompanies me. Flying foxes pull me into the UNKNOWN. From the corner of this UNKNOWN, black cockatoos hover under my feet, singing of approaching nurturing rain. Change is at bay. I am being summoned to an ADVENTURE.

Later in the morning, Chiboogamoo and I drove west, leaving the tropical coastal environment and traveling into the Mitchell Grass plains, flat treeless expanses of rolling grass. Each morning along the Dinosaur Trail, I began a drawing/painting reflecting my state of BEING as I studied fossils of living forms preserved from 100 million years ago.

Since I was accompanying a brilliant paleontologist—my husband—but am not one, this ARTFUL REFLECTION expressed in daily drawing/painting is a stimulating tool for maintaining ME, for integrating my art with my husband’s science (read about Townsville in his blog, The Great Cretaceous Walk)! How fun! How stimulating!

Therefore, “Stepping out with Black Cockatoos and Fruit Bats” is an image which reveals what I love most about LIFE. By BEING PRESENT to our SPIRITS, we can make discoveries about ourselves wherever we are—physically or spiritually! Hallelujah! (Here in Georgia, I have returned to work on this painting twice, and I still consider it “not” finished! I see myself revisiting the fruit bats and cockatoos until I feel the image holds the “energy” I need it to.)

SOUL BLOG with Hallelujah! Share your response to the December 25th REVERB10 PROMPT: Photo—a PRESENT to YOURSELF—Sift through all the photos of you from the past year. Choose one that best captures you; either who you are, or who you strive to be. Find the shot of you that is worth a thousand words. Share the image, who shot it, where, and what it best reveals about you.

REVERB10: EVERYTHING is OK: ReEnvisioning Reality through the Stories We Tell in Science and Art!

Hallelujah for REVERB10 challenging me to remember a symbolic moment of OKAYNESS in 2010! Based on NOTHING and EVERYTHING, I chose to recall Lark Quarry, a famous dinosaur trackway in central Queensland, Australia. This “hotspot” along the Dinosaur Trail illustrates beautifully how SCIENCE, ART, IDEA, and STORY TELLING collide to create a REALITY we can understand.

Okay…it all begins about 95 million years ago with a high-pitched roar and thunderous footsteps along a riverside! A monstrous two-legged carnivorous dinosaur approaches a large flock of small two-legged herbivorous dinosaurs, causing them to scatter in a chaotic frenzy. Who would be dinner? More than 3,000 of their fleeing tracks were preserved in the muddy soil, leaving an intriguing puzzle to be pieced together by 20th century SCIENTISTS.

Based on evidence and the understanding of that evidence in 1979, Tony Thulborn and Mary Wade explained the predation story above. (Click on this link to see a short video of this tracksite and hear my Chibogamoo narrate this now-well known story.) To sum it up again: There was a meat eating theropod, close to the size of a Tyrannosaurus rex, that was in search of a meal and went to the river to pick up a small ornithopod or two. A stampede ensued.

This 95-million year old story has been repeated and illuminated by ART. Hearsay is that when Steven Spielberg was making the movie, “Jurassic Park,” his consultant, celebrity paleontologist Jack Horner, referenced Lark Quarry. Another example is the movable metal dinosaur sculpture in the exhibit at the Lark Quarry Interpretative Centre. Exhibit viewers can push a button which causes the mechanical sculpture to open its toothy carnivorous jaws—jaws convincingly capable of consuming a dinner of small dinosaurs. Other art illustrating the story are the wooden cutouts representing fleeing two-legged dinosaurs the size of chickens. The educational material at the centre even goes so far as to give one of the vulnerable ornithopods a name, “Ollie.”

ART is wonderful for holding ideas—until these ideas change. Welcome to the 21st century and a different way of interpreting the evidence! Based on measurements and complex calculations, paleontologists can now better determine if the fossilized tracks are those of an ornithopod (a plant eater) or a theropod (a meat eater).

Last July, when we saw Anthony Romilio, a PhD candidate at the University of Queensland, standing on the Lark Quarry floor in his stocking feet with measuring tools, little did we know that he was about to TRANSFORM the long-standing predation story. And he has!

Using current methods of calculation, he has startling evidence that the large dinosaur, which caused the stampede at the riverside, was not a carnivorous theropod! It was a large herbivorous ornithopod, which was not looking for a meaty meal. (Read the news story at this link, to learn more.)

The Lark Quarry site most be RE-STORIED in ART. What will the new images look like? Will the large moving metal dinosaur sculpture have to be removed? Will the educational images on the signage at the interpretative centre change? Will the dinosaur museum at the Corfield and Fitzmaurice building on Winton’s mainstreet have to change its dramatic Lark Quarry diorama showing a victimized ornithopod?

SCIENCE and ART! IDEAS and STORIES! REALITY! I am OKAY now and forever as long as ALL of us PILGRIMS travel with open minds and hearts—changing our stories as we need to in order to reflect REALITY as we understand it NOW! Hallelujah Truth!

Hallelujah welcomes all PILGRIMS to soul blog with her on December 24th’s REVERB10 PROMPT for today! Everything's OK. What was the best moment that could serve as proof that everything is going to be all right? And how will you incorporate that discovery into the year ahead?

Chiboogamoo has written about Winton and paleontology in his blog, The Great Cretaceous Walk, and has an upcoming blog specifically on Lark Quarry, so stay tuned!

Hello PILGRIMS! Let me re-introduce myself. My name is Hallelujah Truth, pronounced “HOWWWWWWWL-a-LUUUUU-YAH! TRUUUUUUUUUUTH”! I wear this self-adorned name like a BLAZING GOLDEN CROWN of RED FLOWERS.

Two years ago I discovered my new moniker, HALLELUJAH TRUTH, after fatigue with my mono-syllabic given name, “Ruth.” Isn’t LIFE too short to have a one-syllable name that begins and ends with hard to say consonants “R” and “TH”? My international students have massacred my given name, “Ruth,” for more than 20 years. From their mouths, “Ruth” emerges in various forms of LOOSE and RUSE. Occasionally, the beautiful vowel, “U,” (which sounds like ewww…) gets mangled and is produced as a shorter, lesser magnificent vowel, creating a name like ROTH. Some speakers even get creative and call me a similar sounding but easier to say name like BRUCE. One Russian speaker just shook his head and said, “I will call you HOOFIA.”

As a result of these variations of “Ruth,” I begin teaching students my name by saying, “I am called RUTH like TRUTH.” I would strive to get them to call me “Ruth” accurately with additional encouraging words: “If you greet me by my name “Ruth” every day, when it comes time to express your opinion about something, you will be able to say, ‘I THink so, instead of I Sink so’”! Perhaps these small matters of an interdental fricative (th) only matter to teacher of English as a second language!

Over time, RUTH like TRUTH got shortened to RUTHTRUTH—a very dogmatic name. My friends began to spur me on to speak bluntly, giving the appearance of speaking the TRUTH. Although I had acquired a second syllable to my singularly syllabled name, RUTHTRUTH was not FUN! Nor was this name CELEBRATORY.

WORDS MATTER! Think about this causal chain: THOUGHTàWORDàDEEDà? A quotation attributed to Ralph Waldo Emmerson answers my question:

“Watch your thoughts. They become words. Watch your words. They become deeds. Watch your deeds. They become habits. Watch your habits. They become character. Character is everything.”

As I explored possibilities of new multi-syllabic musical names, I tried on many ending in the syllable “UH”—Hannah, Annabella, Isabella, Estrella, Carmella. Then I stumbled on Hosanna—it had symbolic meaning—an exclamation of praise or adoration. But I found the “N’s” were too hard on my tongue as it stopped on the back of my upper teeth—HOSANNA. Next, HALLELUJAH popped out magically. I sucked in a really big breath! The possibility of claiming a word, which means “a joyful word of praise to God”, frightened me. After all, respecting the GREAT MYSTERY is part of my heart and soul.

Could I use HALLELUJAH as my new name, summoning its common usage as an expression of happiness—a positive exclamation? YES. DEFINITELY! HALLELUJAH gradually grew attached to my given name now embedded in the TRUTH!

HALLELUJAH TRUTH! Thought becomes words (Hallelujah Truth)! What deeds will come from these words: Hallelujah Truth? What character? For now, I use my name Hallelujah Truth for signing my artwork and writing on my blog, “Coffee with Hallelujah.” Occasionally, when one of my students has trouble saying “Ruth,” I will offer “Hallelujah” as an alternative! And the syllables of Hallelujah dance off their tongues as they repeat it more than once. Soon a swarm of students are laughing and singing praises to me by saying, “Hallelujah.” What a triumphant name. I will keep this name for now. It suits me.

Keep Soul Blogging with Hallelujah Truth. Tell me about YOUR JOURNEY and what new name you will give yourself!

OH, and here is December 23’s REVERB10 PROMPT: New Name. Let’s meet again, for the first time. If you could introduce yourself to strangers by another name for just one day, what would it be and why?

The Min Min finds you. You don’t find the Min Min. So goes the explanation of the sudden and mysterious appearance of an extraterrestrial ball of yellow light in the outback of Queensland, Australia!

As TRAVELERS on the Dinosaur Trail in the Queensland outback, my Chiboogamoo and I learned about the Min Min phenomenon when we came to the small city of Boulia (an Aboriginal word for watering hole). With a population of about 300, this one-street town possesses a tourist center including a Min Min exhibit, so CURIOUS VISITORS can listen to recordings of locals retelling their encounters with this bewildering ball of light.

Down the street from the Min Min tourist center and a couple of blocks into one of Boulia’s neighborhoods, there is another tourist destination—the Stonehouse Museum, which amongst the local British pioneer artifacts and photographs of Aboriginal interactions, is a building dedicated to fossils! And “Dinosaur Dick” will explain the plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs to you!

Hallelujah for TRAVEL! Hallelujah for LEARNING! In 2010, I traveled every moment of the day as a SPIRITUAL ART PILGRIM (SAP). As a SAPer, I seek MEANING and desire to express my understanding in an ARTFUL way! When I TRAVEL from the “routine” ARTFULNESS of my domestic life in Decatur, Georgia, my goal is to continue living ARTFULLY.

In today’s blog entry, I am joyfully explaining what I mean by living ARTFULLY while TRAVELLING. I have included a piece of my art, “Hallelujah Truth Flying with Dick’s Dinosaurs in the Min Min Light,” to illustrate. The morning following our sightseeing in Boulia, I made myself a cup of tea and spent an hour drawing my response to BEING in Boulia. Tuning into my heart and gut response, I “channeled” the Min Min, a plesiosaur, and an ichthyosaur using watercolor pencils. Our travel itinerary afforded me enough time to paint the entire background. As part of my SAP practice, I did my sketching and painting without judgment (not good, not bad, just is). Then I had to stop with the painting unfinished and unthought out.

Until today, I had not returned to continue this image journaling my TRAVEL in Boulia. Inspired by REVERB10’s December 22 prompt about TRAVEL, I chose to work towards completing this particular image. In doing so it allowed me to think about “how” I TRAVEL along my SPIRITUAL ART JOURNEY.

I TRAVEL with an open heart, a love of local myth, and a fascination for science. It is with these qualities that I approach my daily 15 minutes of creativity—which with inevitable grace expands to an hour or hours. In 2011, I plan to continue TRAVELING as a SPIRITUAL ART PILGRIM, to discover more about the GREAT MYSTERY of BEING.

And you Fellow Sojourners? Hallelujah invites you to Soul Blog with her and share your response to today’s REVERB10 Challenge below.

REVERB10 PROMPT: TRAVEL. How did you travel in 2010? How and/or where would like to travel next year?

Tuesday, December 21, 2010

Hallelujah for the Winter Solstice! For full moon lunar eclipses signifying everything and nothing. On this darkest day of the year, we experience a “death” and prepare for a “re-birth.” CELEBRATIONS place us in TIME—HERE and NOW. In response to today’s REVERB10 Challenge, I briefly glimpse myself through INFINITY….

THE FUTURE: Five years from now I envision myself existing as an EXUBERANT GALAXY glittering giddily with gladness. All of my communities rotate with me, around me, or close by radiantly realizing their cherished ideals!

THE PRESENT: Glowing now, today, I joyously toast BEING and ACTION! I explode and collide with YOU in the ever-expanding universe of ME. WE are those binary stars rotating around one another. WE are constellations clustering with one another. WE are black holes swirling in our own GREAT MYSTERY!

THE PAST: Long ago in DEEP TIME, there was a singularity of BEING…all of me that mattered was condensed into ONE point.

Here I am.

When I was born time began.

When I die the universe will end.

And I am dancing too fast to see

I stretch to the end of everything

You cannot see all of me.

Alice Teeter (extracted from “String Theory,” When It Happens to You)

Thank you REVERB10 for allowing me to reflect on who I am throughout TIME. I feel empowered when I use my imagination. This morning, I invited Alice Teeter’s poems to join me in my contemplation. I absolutely devoured her book of poems, When It Happens to You, when it came out in 2009. I have been absorbing her poem, “String Theory,” over the years (pre-publication) as she appeared around the Atlanta area reading and giving performances of this poem meditating on particle physics. Please watch this amazing video if you want to see how “String Theory” can be danced out.

Pilgrims, if you care to reflect on TIME for yourself, here is December 21st’s REVERB10 PROMPT: FUTURE SELF. Imagine yourself five years from now. What advice would you give your current self for the year ahead? (Bonus: Write a note to yourself 10 years ago. What would you tell your younger self?) Prompt Writer Jenny Blake, author of “Life After College, The Complete Guide.”

I bid you Pilgrims farewell on this shortest day of the year with more of Alice Teeter’s “String Theory”:

oh oh oh and to be the one who can see it all.

How we connect.

The lightning strikes.

New ‘Supergirl’ Image Reveals the Villain Reign in Full Costume

     October 30, 2017

Supergirl‘s third season has taken some notable departures from past seasons, most noticeably its darker tone with Kara’s grief after losing Mon-El. But perhaps its most interesting change is how its slowly building up the villain Reign by introducing her as a seemingly normal National City mom named Sam (Odette Annable) who realizes she may be something more. Over the first few episodes this season, we’ve seen Sam almost lose her daughter during an attack on National City, but in doing so discovered that she has powers of super-strength. But when she tried to use them while not in a state of distress, she couldn’t yet conjure them.

It’s been a very slow-burn way to introduce a major villain, and I really love it. It makes Sam / Reign (who is a Worldkiller) more than just a Big Bad or a meta who appears out of nowhere and has questionable or ultimately unimportant motivations. By making Sam a real character, it raises the stakes on her eventual heel turn.

For now, Sam is taking over L Corps while Lena Luthor dives into running CatCo, which will bring her into Kara’s orbit. It’ll be interesting to watch her discover her origins the way Kara also had to do, but end up in very different place with them.

Check out the costume below:

So as for the costume, well, it’s giving me very strong Black Siren vibes from Arrow. I would have liked to see some more color and a more interesting design than, basically, a “dark” version of Supergirl. The mask looks interesting, but since The CW shows have so often given us villains who mirror our heroes visually and narratively, this particularly costume doesn’t really jump out for me.

Annable’s debut as Reign is set to happen later this season (we’re not exactly sure when), but we should be seeing more of her in tonight’s episode, “The Faithful.”

Let us know what you think about the new costume in the comments; Supergirl airs Monday nights on The CW.

Will Smith’s Perfect Aging Has Got The Media In A Frantic

The media’s attention has recently been captivated by a Twitter user that made quite an interesting observation.
It involves Will smith and his role on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
We all know about the charming looks Smith offered while playing the main role in the 90s Sitcom about a teenage boy who moves to California with his wealthy relatives and gets himself involved in every situation imaginable that a teenage boy could possibly get himself into.
In a popular episode of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Smith’s character dresses up as a full on dad and shows up to a parent-teacher conference to get his cousin Ashley from getting into trouble.
In the episode impersonating Ashley’s dad, Smith appears with a fake mustache, big round glasses, a touch of scattered grey hair, and the inevitable dad fashion of the 90’s.
The Twitter user made the observation that present day Will Smith looks exactly like the will who portrayed Ashley’s dad more than 20 years ago!
Twitter users had a lot to say, involving mixed emotions and a bit of reminiscence towards Will’s role in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Some claimed Will Smith somehow looks younger today than he did in 1994!
There is also other crazy theories that Will Smith is actually a vampire that does not age!
Considering his great looks and kept up figure, Will Smith being a vampire is not totally out of the picture.
It could also just be great genetics and the simple fact that Will Smith has aged perfectly through out the years.
Regardless of what the situation might be that is keeping the media wondering why Will Smith looks exactly the same as he did more than 20 years ago, there is one thing we can all agree on: Share your skin care secrets with us Will!
