Thanks Carmody. This track was composed from another world. It has the "WAVES" of RAVEL´S BOLERO. Up above and more.

DREAM BY DAY. WORK AT NIGHT.




Hugs to Nora, Marianne, One in Many, Calz, Chico and Don Boscoe

Imagine this tune at the end of the film instead. It would work. Not as well, as it was not designed from the ground up as Zimmer's score was. But this tune would also work as a orchestral piece, in the same way. Try it at 720p/HD rez .

(I must confess, my 'puter sound system has full size floorstanding speakers and a pair of subwoofers.)

Good choice, Carmody.
I'll think of another alternative.
Meanwhile I present this video. If the final theme of the movie were this , many people would have wrecked the theater. Maybe for a Tarantino film.

Yeah! Well done. Like the bodyguards on meeradas video.

My body works on ‘less is best’. There’s a major part of me that understands all I need for continued health and healing is housed within and the greater that surrounds the body instrument. As it changes, my intuition continues to say, “Nix this, add that, hold off on these.”

I updated my drinking water recipe to include Willard Water. There are products that break out my skin, so my plan is to incrementally introduce at least some of what I call, “Paul’s Water Recipe”.

After listening to video below on sodium bicarbonate, i.e. good old Arm & Hammer, it seems like the next logical step. I also included an article by Dr. Mercola, on other benefits for sodium bicarbonate.

We’ve discussed these topics before, and there are a lot of threads. But I thought I’d share some of it again. Paul's post #10 is one of the many posts from him that I’m using as a guide.

Thank you,

Dr. Tullio Simoncini on the RAS discussing a simple cure for cancer the establishment do not want you to hear.

"Use Baking Soda to Remove Splinters -- and to Address Many Other Health Needs"

By Dr. Mercola
[article]

“Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is a staple in many homes for baking and cleaning purposes – but there's a good chance you're not taking full advantage of all that baking soda has to offer.

For instance, did you know there's a whole gamut of medicinal uses for baking soda, such as safely removing splinters from your fingers, or just brushing your teeth?

It rates right up there with hydrogen peroxide as one of the most inexpensive and safe health tools around (you can buy an entire box of baking soda for about $1), so it makes sense to learn all you can about the many, many uses of baking soda.”

Oh for crying out loud, I just managed to blew up another lightbulb.... How nice. Once I have replaced one bulb the other one explodes somewhere else! Trust me, you don't want me around your lamps, that's for sure.

The rest are just normally flickering around me...

I haven't been able to say this yet. I'm saying it now. As of this morning, I am divorced. Now I said it. Moving on.

K has kicked whatshisname to the curb. Sparing the drama here. Sending her strength to hold tight. Three days and counting. Go, sweetheart, you can do this!

Heart procedure is scheduled for next Tuesday.

Just a couple more tough weeks to get through? Maybe? Then I can look ahead and breathe a sigh of relief. Maybe. And get back to remembering and growing and becoming...and being.

Much Love,

Tomorrow’s Tuesday.
Light sprits for Mike, 1inMany and family.
Rock it, Lady K!

<3

PS My apologies for 'over posting'. (If needed.)

[1inMany]

Thanks, Paula. You're heart is much appreciated. Nothing is going according to plan. See, then I realized it must be going according to Universe's plan, just not mine.

K held out for a few days and then whatshisname got back in. I could insert some choice words here. Believe me. Around and around and around this goes, where it stops only Universe knows.

Mike has opted out of the surgery. He's having yet another test done instead. I don't even know what to say about that.

So much frustration here and now. So much. The lesson I learned today is that I am not responsible for anyone else's happiness. Only mine. Now, see, this probably sounds very basic to lots of people. But it is a new concept to me. I am standing back watching. It is uncomfortable. But, I have no control over what anyone else does.

Now to figure out what it takes to make 1inmany happy.

If I recall, Mike is a Libra. If he’s like Mike, the Libra, I was married to, then changing his mind again, again, again, fits. (No offense to Libras. I’ve got a couple of Libras in ‘me’ chart, too. See what I did there? Diplomat.)

”…whatshisname got back in. I could insert some choice words here.”

Drats! Choice words…X,Y & Z.
Sad face for Lady K. ;(
‘Rock it’ is saved for another day.

Those basic concepts are the ones I value. They’re stripped down to reveal purity’s secrets. Gosh darn allusive, but I suspect that in that nugget is where all/one is contained.
Now, that's either plain BS or there’s somethin’ to it.
Naw, it’s BS.
Except to say I prefer basic. I don’t have to tear off layers and layers.

Now to figure out what it takes to make 1inmany happy.

I say, “’Rock it’ Lady J! And don’t forget to buy yourself a red dress.”

[Dennis Leahy]

My eldest sister/eldest sibling said, "You're our family's writer. We'd like you to write Mom's obituary."

Of course, I was honored, but trying to encapsulate 93 years of my Mom's life into a few small paragraphs, and yet include some of the pizazz, the light, the love, the compassion, and the fun that were attributes of her personality is a tall order. I asked for suggestions, but (at first) got none from my 9 siblings. I wrote, straight from my heart, and (knowing that the entire piece HAD to be short, and forcing myself into that mode) I was done in less than an hour.

I sent it out to my siblings: first draft.

Suddenly, I got suggestions! "Delete this!" "Add that!" "I love what you wrote, but can you remove the end of that one sentence, oh and the beginning of that other sentence?" Ahhhh, so rather than a group of contributors, I got to work with a group of critics/editors! hahahahhaha Oh, and with a deadline. (Note to self: the word "deadline" should NOT be associated with an obituary!)

Problems I faced were

• the fact that my family are a bunch of Catholics - ranging from family members "playing along with the rituals" to others that are more Catholic than the Pope
• the age spread of 10 "kids" went across a generation chasm: family members raised in post WWII "felial piety" by their "mother", and those of us that happened along during the psychedelic free-love days, raised by their "mom."
• my Dad insisted that the names of all 75 surviving family members be included
• did a mention there was a deadline?

So, my lightly playful and VERY mildly irreverent additions to a usually completely serious document were struck-down by (mostly) the older siblings, while the younger siblings related more to the style and content in my first draft. In the first draft, I had my Mom sipping some wine with Jesus, and compared her multitasking skills to a juggler juggling a chainsaw, a bowling ball, and a knife.

Here's the fifth (and final) draft:

===================================
Marjorie June Doyle Leahy, 93, surrounded by her loving husband and family members, slipped peacefully out of this earthly realm and entered heaven on June 7th, 2014.

Marjorie is the mother of 10 children, grandmother to 22, and great-grandmother to 22. That's a lot of diapers changed, a lot of laundry washed, and a lot of meals at a table for twelve that would make catering the Last Supper seem easy by comparison. From foreign exchange students to the last-second, "Mom, can my friend stay for dinner?" guest, all were welcomed at her table, and all left well-fed.

Marge, Margie, June, Mom, Grandma, Great-Grandma: she answered to all of those names with a smile that lit up the room, with abundant grace, with a wry humor, keen intelligence, loving demeanor, humility and gratitude. As the family matriarch, she was the perfect counterpoint and complement to her logical, left-brained, physician husband. Though she was too humble to admit it, she provided the right-brain balance to the family, whether expressed in her love of dance and music, or love of art ranging from Grandma Moses to hand-cut Tiffin crystal. She was the go-to helper for many, many homework assignments in creative writing and poetry, arts in any media - even cleverly using her chewing gum as a last-second repair of a science project. She taught her family - by example - to respect and to cherish all of God's creatures, whether they were frogs and turtles and tadpoles (snakes, however, were not welcome indoors), fledgling birds fallen from the nest, or her canine companions with whom she also shared her love.

Marjorie was born in Danville, IL, in 1921, to Joseph and Grace (Tiffee) Doyle. She was raised through the years of the Great Depression, and had begun a career in nursing in Chicago, IL, when she met and instantly fell in-love with her soon-to-be devoted and loving husband, Dr. Richard Leahy - with whom she shared a 70th wedding anniversary this past December. Starting in the WWII years as the wife of a Navy doctor, she gave up her nursing career to become a full-time mother, child psychologist, triage nurse, educator, counselor, arbitrator, chef, laundress, seamstress, reader (Martin's Mice and the Peevish Penguin books worn thin), taxi driver, liaison, and secretary. Marjorie, dutifully following Richard's Navy and civilian career path, resided in Los Angeles, CA, Brazil, IN, Toledo, OH, and lived for 30 years in Tiffin, OH - until Richard's retirement from medical practice. There was a brief stint in a remote hospital in Malawi, Africa, with Richard, trying to assist the less fortunate, followed by a move to Sun City West AZ, and finally to Highlands Ranch, CO. She cherished her visits to Ireland, and her summer days at Clear Lake in Indiana. Once her own children were raised, and grandchildren spread across the US, Marjorie volunteered at daycare centers in Tiffin, OH and Surprise, AZ - offering her love, warmth, and caring to even more children.

Marjorie's life was a powerful example of unselfish service to others and unconditional love, and these exemplary traits are hallmarks of her legacy. She was a devout Catholic, and did her best to instill her ethical and moral values in her children - again, leading by example. Now, she's tap dancing with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, singing with Enrico Caruso, Mario Lanza, and John McCormack, and enveloped in God's loving embrace. Heaven got a good one, but back here on Earth, she will be sorely missed.

Marjorie was preceded in death by her sister Virginia, and her brothers John and Thomas. She is survived by her loving husband, Dr. Richard Albert Leahy, her brother James "Jimmy" Doyle, and an amazing 75-member family whose names - included here - read like the "litany of the saints": Daughter, Kathleen (Leahy) & Donald Marquet, granddaughter Michele (Marquet) & Dr. Michael Hirsig and great-grandkids Donovan, Charlie and Izzy, granddaughter Megan (Marquet) & Brock Wortman and great-grandkids Maggie and Kathleen, grandson Kevin Marquet & Sheyla and great-grandkids Avery and Owen. ~ Son, Dr. Daniel Leahy & Kathy (Krupp) Leahy, granddaughter Amy (Leahy) & Steve Shutts and great-grandkids Connor, Colleen, and Cooper, grandson Craig Leahy & Lisa and great-grandkids Colin and Mary Cameron. ~ Son, Kevin Leahy & Mimi (Hwang), granddaughter Caitlin (Leahy) & John Jessen, grandson Brendan Leahy & Jaime and great-grandchild Kieran, grandson Sean Leahy. ~ Son, Patrick Leahy and granddaughters Brigid Leahy and Fiona Leahy. ~ Daughter, Sheila (Leahy) & David Lee, grandson Sean Lee & Kendra and great-grandkids Shannon, Casey, and Reilly, granddaughter Erin Lee and great-grandkids Madeline and Ella, granddaughter Megan (Lee) & Patrick Kovalik and great-grandchild Marin, granddaughter Mallory (Lee) & Kelly Payne and great-grandchild Nora. ~ Daughter, Teresa (Leahy) & Steve Donahoe, grandson Dr. Kevin Donahoe & Katie, and great-grandkids Liam and Olivia, granddaughter Kelly Donahoe. ~ Son, Dennis Leahy & Dr. Debra Cudnowski, granddaughter Basia Leahy. ~ Daughter, Maureen (Leahy) & Doug Mills, grandson Michael Mac Mills, grandson Patrick Mills & Bonnie, and grandson Steven Mills. ~ Daughter Bridget (Leahy) & Steve McNutt, grandson Colin Taylor, grandson Aidan McNutt. ~ Son, Brian Leahy.

Interment will be at Ft. Logan National Cemetery in Denver, CO. In lieu of flowers, family members have suggested donations to St. Jude's Hospital, a charity for the children that Marjorie so loved.

Thanks for sharing this, Dennis. Good job, because reading it was a humbling experience.
What a woman.
And her eyes are shining beacons of light.
Looking at her picture I was reminded of Dr. Brian O'Leary.

Powerful, and heart felt piece, Dennis, with a side order of whimsical that all family members will relate to and feel a part of.

“Heaven got a good one, but back here on Earth, she will be sorely missed.” Easy to see why. No doubt your Mom will continue to be an inspiration even beyond the Leahy Clan.

Rest in Peace, Dear Mrs. Marjorie June Doyle Leahy.

The Reset Button Movement Introduction

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=gjNy7EDcR6A

Published on Apr 30, 2014

Introducing The Reset Button Movement, a presentation given in Minneapolis on Feb 15, 2014, at a meeting of citizens and activists weary of the status quo of militarist corporatocracy/plutocracy. 



As is mentioned in this video, The Reset Button Movement is centered around a new document that provides an analysis of the 9 ways the Elite control the electoral paradigm, thus controlling our governance, as well as a comprehensive plan and strategy to end the rule of the Elite. The video is a quick introduction of The Reset Button concept, and an invitation to go to the website and read the document. 



The Reset Button Movement takes no donations, and has no hierarchical leaders - it is a citizens movement where ordinary citizens aim to (non-violently and legally), remove all of the Elite minions from power and elect only ordinary citizens with no ties to corporations in all offices.



The Reset Button Movement is not an attempt to change the political ideology of the US, nor to change the form of government. The idea is to simply create (for the first time in the history of the US) a true government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Once this task is completed, US citizens will finally be free to start a conversation about changes in the political ideology and/or the form of government, or simply to enjoy - for the first time ever - citizen self-governance.

Please go to to The Reset Button Movement website, read, sign, and share. If the citizens of the US don't transform the electoral paradigm, the Elite will continue to rule - forever.

Wtf are the two white things in the air? Any ideas...



[Pic taken June 10, 2014; didn't see anything like it while taking the photo]

[RunningDeer]

I ran it through about ten filters and enlarged it. It's too far away to pick up detail. I thought it was something like kleenex caught in the wind, but the trees are still.

[meeradas]

Thanks. There was nothing in the air when i took it.
Photos taken the same minute before and after the shot show nothing alike; there was nothing on the lens either. No kleenex or similar around. Insects?

Forgot:
Single exposure, matrix autofocus, time: 1/611.2 sec, f: 6.3. Must have been very fast.

[RunningDeer]

For you, Fro N Kro.

I might have enlarged it beyond recognition. Are there white birds in that area?
