BRIDGE OF SPIRITS
Read the Reviews
Listening to the original Time Trilogy and The Owl releases was certainly impressive, but by comparison with this framing, those releases were in sharp monochrome as opposed to the lush technicolour experience they are finally afforded here
Full Review of Bridge of Spirits by Steve Pilkington of Velvet Thunder
Bridge of Spirits opens beautifully with “Forever Leaving Home.” Springett’s composition unveils a stunning soundscape of acoustic guitars, percussion, and layered vocals – a soundscape that completely captured my attention the first time I heard it (and every time since).

The Owl: Origin Story
NEWS FROM THE POTTING SHED – ORIGINS DEPT – Generally I would say, the music speaks for itself, but sometimes the story behind a song, can add interest and depth to the listeners enjoyment. In the case of The Owl, the inspiration for the song, and the entire 17 minute suite that grew from that exploration, came from an indelible childhood experience.
The year is 1956, I was eight years old and staying with my auntie Bill in Leicester, which is in the midlands in the UK. My folks had recently separated, I had a new ‘dad’ and was somewhat bewildered by this turn of events and these Summer visits were a way, I think, of my mum giving me a break from the ongoing drama of the puzzling changes in the family. Auntie Bill and I were close, and not only that, she ran a quintessential English Sweet Shop! Heaven for a small boy, especially an imaginative sprog like me, who gave the dark blue velvet curtain that separated the shop from the living area, power to change the reality of any person who walked through it’s soft enveloping folds. (You are now an Egyptian Queen, and will give me unlimited acsess to all the liquorice in the land, etc) I felt I was truly staying in a magical place, and my auntie was indulgent and great fun to be with.
I slept in a small upstairs bedroom, and as it was a warm Summer night, the window was open. I was woken up by the the clamorous sound of fire engine bells, sirens were not in use as yet, and as my eyes became accustomed to night time vision, I was amazed to see that my room was filled with a yellow flickering light. I could see from my window a great blaze was underway, some way off but close enough to wrap my bedroom in a sulferous glow. (I learned later that it was a lumber yard on fire). Alarmed I sat up in bed and as I looked out the window, a large barn owl landed on the window sill. It fluttered it’s wings in that way birds have of making sure it’s feathers are aligned and ready for the next flight. He was in profile to me to begin with, but then it slowly turned his/her head and looked directly at me. This unblinking look could not have lasted more than ten seconds, and yet in that moment, something happened that I found mysterious and puzzling, still to this day. As I looked into the birds eyes there was a feeling of something familiar and entirely alien at the same time.
A memory that stays with one for this long, suggests that a door opens and never closes again. Is that door opening the mind to a different level of understanding, fuelling a new and life long curiosity about the strangeness of existence; after having had a while to think about it, I would say, yes, it’s exactly that and maybe a lot more.
All the other movements in The Owl suite are connected to this central theme, but how they connect and why, well, I will let the music speak for itself from here on…

Me and my sisters go to the creapy house again. The whole time i had a weird feeling. "hey guys, how about we seperate." I said. They agreed. I went to the side of the shed, and they went to the front of the house. I started to medatate. My chest started geting hevey. My head hurt. I got dizzy. I opened my eyes and saw only in a blur. I stud there, i slowly felt someones hands grasp my throught. I started to choke. I couldent breath, and was alone. Through all the choking, something kicked my leg in. though in pain, i looked up and saw a dark figure in the window i was staring at the other day. I got dizzy, and fainted.
After a few moments, i awoke. I was still alone. The wing blowing, made it cold.I slowly got up, seeing all a blur. Sommething nocked me down again.

Many authors have written about the book of Proverbs and how it has impacted their lives or significant people in the past. It has so much power to direct the paths of each and every one of us. So I have a couple of questions: First, Why is this book so powerful? and second, why do so many of us fail to read it and apply it?
God has given us this road-map or rules of life, and we just neglect it. Now I know that it is easy to throw away the directions to that “some assembly required” toy that you bought your kids for Christmas and just wing it, but we are talking about life here. We are so blessed that God gave us a manual for life!
I would suggest that the reason the book is so powerful is that it is inspired by the creator of us all and for us all. How is it that it can apply to anyone in any circumstance in life? Pretty amazing if you ask me.
We all are familiar with the laws of physics at least the basic ones. We understand gravity and inertia and we have to live within these truths. What would happen if we did not learn and apply these basic laws?
As for the question: why do so many of us fail to read and apply it? All I can say is that we have lots of excuses and none of them are valid. Some of them are; I am too busy, I did not know about it, it is too confusing, unbelief, laziness. Well, there are 31 chapters to the book and there are 31 days in many months of the year. If we commit to reading a chapter a day in a month then we have read it all in one month. I would recommend doing this at least every 6th month to refresh on the wisdom revealed in the Proverbs.
Proverbs answers questions about all areas of life, from finances to child training, from marriage matters to business relationships. The book is packed with such amazing insights.
I challenge you to read God’s instruction manual and see for yourself how amazing this wisdom can be for your life.


“Love the world as your own self then you can truly care for all things”
Tao Te Ching
“…there is but one possible way in which human elements, innumerably diverse by nature, can love one another: it is by knowing themselves all to be centred on a single ‘super-centre’ common to all.”
Teilhard de Chardin
We have been inspired to write this article by several recent incidents in our lives and by two important concepts: “pay it forward” and “the butterfly effect.” It is not intended to be “goody goody” or “preachy,” but rather to suggest that the ideas expressed in it could be tried out in an experimental manner and the results observed.
Most of us have the instinct to help those in need who come to our attention, but in today’s busy and materialistic world, the time or effort required often prevent us from actualizing this instinct.
The other day, two of us, Radi and Mithu, came across an abandoned, ill, and emaciated dog in the market place near our home in India, so we stopped and offered him water and food. He took a few feeble sips of the water and a little bit of the food. While this was going on, a small group of people passing by gathered around to watch the proceedings. At first just curious (one sees so many starving and dying dogs in this country), it gradually became a “caring circle” with others offering to help feed and protect the dog. Eventually the dog was taken to a veterinary hospital, but for those few moments, a random group of individuals became a caring unit, and a suffering dog, otherwise invisible, became visible. One can only hope that some of the members of that small group will “see” and extend a helping hand to an animal or a human in dire need because of this experience. This is one example of several instances where a kind act done in a public place inspired others to do the same.
Radi remembers walking down a street in Toronto feeling vulnerable and frightened a few days after the 9/11 incident when feelings were running high against the “Other.” A man passing by noticed her expression and body language and called out “Hi” with a reassuring smile. He will never know how much that greeting meant, but it has been “paid forward” many times over when we have noticed a worried or sad face, as well as more generally. A smile in one’s direction, especially when unexpected and from a stranger, lights up one’s day.
Having experienced the sometimes inspiring effect a kind action can have on witnesses, we could perhaps link this to a fascinating theory, “the butterfly effect” attributed to Edward Norton Lorenz, a mathematician and meteorologist, and one of the first proponents of chaos theory. In this theory, “the butterfly effect” was used to suggest that the wing movements of a butterfly might have significant effects on wind strength and movements throughout the weather systems of the world, perhaps creating a tornado or altering its path. This is on a physical level. On the mental level, we all know the power of an idea when its time has come and since, as we firmly believe, life on this planet forms an interconnected web of vibrations and consciousness, human actions driven by ideas, good or bad, could cause a ripple effect across the entire web. So who knows what the consequences of a very small, kind action in a small corner of the world will be?
Peter Russell in his thought provoking book “The Awakening Earth” talks about humanity eventually evolving into the Earth’s “Global Brain” in which each of us is an individual nerve cell. The vast and varied communication network linking all parts of our global village is compared to the billions of tiny fibers linking the nerve cells in the brain. Russell goes on to say that for successfully functioning organisms – the human body is one such – the one quality they share is that the many components naturally function together in harmony with the whole. This characteristic is described by the word “synergy” from the Greek “syn-ergos,” which means to work together. When synergy levels drop and the organism as a whole does not receive the support of its many parts, it becomes ill, and when synergy is lost altogether, the organism dies.
We seem to be living at a time when, with healthy synergy levels, progressive integration of human minds could evolve into a single living system. But, conversely, low synergy levels, such as are being demonstrated in the world today, could lead to a breakdown of human society. The worst case scenario with synergy lost could be a descent into chaos and perhaps even extinction.
Dane Rudyar, in his seminal work, “Rhythm of Wholeness,” talks of the state of our present day humanity being in a phase of transition between two fundamental levels of Being – the biological level given human features through local and exclusivistic cultures, and the level of what he terms the “Pleroma.” Present day evolution features “being I” as a separate person with sovereign rights and an autonomous will with exclusive characteristics intent on its own individual development. By contrast, the “Pleroma,” towards which we are evolving, involves humans who have passed through the condition of individualized and separate selfhood, and operate as a planetary whole in which mental and spiritual integration provides conditions for the safe actualization of faculties and powers latent in our present day state.
Whether or not one subscribes to these and similar theories on humanity being one “under the skin” so to speak, it is becoming increasingly clear that a high level of synergy in human society as a whole will be needed to bring us back from the brink of human and planetary destruction on a large scale.
The concept of “paying it forward” as opposed to “paying it back” may be one of the simple methods that can be put into practice by anyone in order to help bridge the gap between “me” and “the other.” Not a new one, this concept was more recently rediscovered and brought to the attention of a large audience in a film based on the novel by Catherine Ryan Hyde called “Pay It Forward.” The concept is described as an obligation to help three other people in payment for a good deed one receives. Thus the need to help one another creates ripples that spread through society and may even create a social movement. We would add that if a good deed could be done to a stranger, perhaps of another nationality or religion, it would be a more potent way of bridging the divide between people by the empathy created for people of other cultures and societies. If we help even one person and ask them to “pay it forward,” or make invisible suffering visible by helping an animal or a human, we light a small candle that might light a hundred others in an ever darkening world.
Who knows what the consequences of a small act of kindness could be as it ripples across the web of life, and who knows what unexpected and unusual blessings it might bring into our lives. To conclude in the words of two wise men, Albert Einstein and Teilhard de Chardin:
“A human being is a part of the whole, called by us “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty.”
It is not a tête-a-tête or a corps-a-corps that we need; it is a heart-to-heart…If the synthesis of the Spirit is to be brought about in its entirety (and this is the only possible definition of progress), it can only be done, in the last resort, through the meeting, centre to centre, of human units, such as can only be realized in the universal, mutual love.”
Teilhard de Chardin
We would truly welcome comments and contributions from our readers on other ways of reaching out and bridging divides within and between our many different societies.

This touching article is by Jenny Studenroth Gerson who remembers all those warnings people are quick to give out to expecting mothers. Male or female, young and old, it seems that everyone has a warning about what is to come once her baby is born. She doesn’t leave us with just the negative warnings, she writes about the good warnings people forget.
You’ll have to read the entire article to see if people forgot to warn you about the positive things about motherhood.

On-line courting is one thing that an increasing number of of us are turning to as a approach of assembly new folks. The problem…and the solution: Sending a generic message—particularly one as uninteresting as this—is just not what is going on to make you stand out from other guys. I used to let guys ship me a number of electronic messages back and forth earlier than meeting up in individual.
It’s key to read between the lines to get a way of whether the individual appears properly-adjusted — nice, friendly and cheap, someone you’ll be drawn to in the event you met him or her in individual, even when you didn’t know her high 5 favorite films.
It’s a challenge as a novelist to convey characters in meaningful ways — it is no less demanding for a person writing, or studying, courting profiles. It is a disgrace not every courting web site or app takes the time to really get to know you and provide help to in your online courting journey.
To help my mates, and anybody else, I’ve give you a handful of tips regarding web romance decorum. It’s OKAY to make use of two or three websites …


I have to say that I like a life that is full. It's just after midday and here's what I have already done today.
- I have read most of chapter two from 'Incarnate' by Michael Frost. I'm enjoying this book so much. He is saying that we need to be real, present for one another, not just writing blogs and commenting on Facebook (ahem!) The point is, we are made to relate and interact bodily and personally, not only through media like written words and pictures. If blogs and Facebook were my entire life I would be unbelievably poorer for it. Conversation with friends, acts of kindness and compassion, sharing food together, laughing - these are real.
- I checked that one of my blogs, Journeys of heart and mind, was running correctly on its new web address following changes I made yesterday. I made some changes to my other websites to improve the way they link to JHM.
- I spent a while on Facebook, scrolling through to see what my friends and family have been posting and replying here and there.
- I updated my diary and made some notes on some things that happened yesterday. My diary is a mix of logging how I spend my time; making notes on what I've done, where I've been and who I've met; and the thoughts I've had about this or that along the way.
- I read a chapter from the Bible (2 Samuel 2) and thought about it.
- I walked to a nearby cafe, Ambiance, to met my friend John. He didn't make it today so I drank a coffee alone, wondering what the other customers were doing and thinking. Ambiance is something of a social hub where people meet and talk animatedly with friends and family.
- A couple of other friends, Ash and Chris, dropped in and we talked briefly.
- Back home, I chatted with yet another friend, Dagmar.
That's a lot to pack into one morning. This afternoon I need to do some ironing, washing up and tidying around the house. I might get a little done in the garden too. Donna will be home from work later and I plan to meet with Jim and Kevin this evening at Kevin's home.
So it will be another full day - but for once I did manage to post an item to 'The Daily Toast'!


"This can't be!", Wilhelm thought to himself, trying not to let the others notice his near panic at Ming Lee's disappearance. "OK...remember your training". OK. Wilhelm was back in the moment. The moment where they were in a warehouse with the crazed Jinda, always willing to lay down their lives for the cause of their master. By the time Wilhelm took his cleaning breath, Justin had already prepared for "negotiations". Justin was generally quick to talk his way out of situations. Sometimes, it was remarkable to behold. But this time...this time, Justin knew his bullets would be doing the talking. As he squeezed the trigger on his revolver, he heard Wilhelm's shot ring out first, wounding a Jinda. Justin may have been a terrific shot, but Wilhelm could still have the drop on just about anybody. With this first shot fired, time seemed to speed up, as skilled bladed began to converge on the two heroes.
"Damn this filthy glass", said the Talon out loud, staring at the skylight on the roof. His instincts were spot on, but he hadn't planned for the filth on this neighborhood to shroud his view into the warehouse. Through the filth, he could barely make out a crate stacked high enough for him to land, but no line of sight of his friends. As he took a few minutes to work out a way to possible open it a crack, or even cut a small section away...
Shelly had come back from unconsciousness a while ago, but her only evidence of it was that now, instead of the pleasant dream she was having about finding the "digger", and it's engineering marvel, she only had a headache, and bound hands in the confined darkness. Shelly always dreamed of the remarkable finds she was about to discover. So, she was sorry to be awake, now. She made a habit of snooping around, but she never had someone get the drop on her like this before. She never even saw who clubbed her over the head. But that odd smell... But none of that mattered now. Now she was bound and confined, and she just heard two gunshots and the muffled sounds of men with blades rushing for an attack. Then light came from all directions! With a loud crash, suddenly the crate around her tore to splinters, and tossed her down a few feet to the ground. As her eyes adjusted to their new surroundings, she looked up saw possibly the most welcome (and surprising) sight she had seen in years. Before her was The Talon.
The Talon stood over Shelley. He saw her, but with an unmatched focus, he studied the warehouse, noting exactly how many foes there were, and assessing his next move. He had no time to free his surprised colleague now, Jinda were already on Wilhelm and Justin, firing and parrying. Thinking quickly, the Talon used the power of his ancient stone to cast a blinding light, rendering the Jinda helpless for a few crucial moments, giving Wilhelm and Justin the upper hand. This gave The Talon a moment to drop Shelley a gun.
In one swift motion, Shelley disassembled the gun, used the sharp firing pin to cur through her bonds, and re-assembled the gun. For Gun-Shell, this was like playing with blocks. As the other heroes battled the Jinda, they all stopped for a moment and marveled at what happened next. In a kung-fu spin move, Shelley flung the pistol at the closest Jinda, striking him directly in the eye. As it did so, the gun fired, leaving his fellow Jinda, next to him, missing much of his brain matter! The gun then bounced right back into Shelley's hand. Even the now half-bind Jinda was dumb-struck for a moment, before the Talon ended his miserable existence. Wilhelm had always found Shelley somewhat tomboy-ish. It was difficult for him to even picture the brunette in him mind without some small amount of grease on her pretty face. But at that sight, even Wilhelm thought, "I think I love that woman!"
After mapping up the remaining Jinda, the heroes searched the warehouse and discovered a note. They were to bring the manuscript to the Valley of Tears. After finding a map of it's location, it was off to the remote location. Upon arrival, they were greeted by the burned remains of several Jinda. The eerie site was an alter surrounded by the stone warriors of Qín Shǐ Huángdì. Wilhelm and Justin held back and covered the Talon and Shelley as they approached the alter. Once they reached it without incident, the two joined them near the alter. Just then, the trap was sprung. Before any of them could react, blow darts came at them from above! Darkness enveloped them all as they lost consciousness....
"Welcome back", said a callous voice. Lo Fan stood before them, the lovely Ming-Lee at his side. All of the heroes were bound, as well as the professor. They were in it now. "Thank you, centurions!" Lo Fan said. I already had the instructions on how to command this great army, but what I needed was your lovely jade stone." The Talon shuttered. His precious and ancient stone, used only for good, was taken. He'd delivered it right to him. Damn! Immediately, Justin began taunting Lo Fan. Trying to convince him that he had already lost the fight. Lo Fan wasn't fooled by the rouse, but if gave Wilhelm just enough time to work his way out of his binds and check...Yes! They had failed to notice his hidden pistol up his sleeve! Just as Lo Fan began to snicker of Justin's suggestions, Wilhelm let a shot ring out...passing straight through Lo Fan! One of the shadowy figures stepped forward and said, "Surely you didn't think I would leave myself that vulnerable, SIEZE HIM!"
What happened next happened very quickly, as the Jinda began to descend on then, Wilhelm shot his last bullet in the chamber and took one out, as the Talon and Shelley escaped their bonds. All as Lo Fan placed the green gem on the alter and sung an ancient song. As the heroes fought of the Jinda, the rumbling of the stone warriors startled them! They were coming to life! "Go, my minions. Go, conquer earth!" yelled Lo Fan, mad with power!
As soon as Shelley had a moment, she spotted the digger in the corner of the alcove they were in. Unable to resist, she headed right for it. Meanwhile, Wilhelm, mad a direct plea to Ming Lee. "You don't have to follow him into the darkness." he told her, staring deep into her eyes. "I...I don't want to, but I..." she timidly replied. "Join us, and redeem yourself, Ming Lee, no matter what happens, I will protect you", Wilhelm interrupted. "Yes", Ming Lee said, her face welling with tears. As she began to move towards her new found savior. "No!", Lo Fan shouted. "How dare you defy me, come to my side, Ming Lee. Now!". But to no avail. "Jinda! Get her, and bring me the item!" The item...Wilhelm though. Of course! He suddenly realized that Ming Lee had been the key the whole time! Just as Jinda approached Ming Lee, they found that she was more than capable of dispatching them, as one by one they fell to her martial arts! "Ming Lee", Wilhelm shouted. "You're comb!" And she tossed him her decorative comb with the grand pearl on it.
As Justin finally freed himself, he noticed tucked behind the alter, a box holding their possessions. As though his gun was willing itself back into his hands, he went right for it. With all the commotion, he had a hard time getting a bead on Lo Fan. But as he turned around, suddenly a large Monkey-like monster howled right in his face! As it raise it's huge claw, he heard a clank sound, as the monster fell to the ground. Standing before him was Shelley, in the digger suit, beaming as she has just tried another switch. "Ooo, that was fun", she said. The monster wasn't dead, but Justin soon ended that by firing several shots at it's head!
Lo Fan, seeing that things were starting to get out of control commanded several of his stone warriors to break off, and attack the centurions. As they approached slowly and methodically, Wilhelm grabbed the comb, placed it on the alter, and sang the same song that Lo Fan had just sung moments before. When he finished, a beam of light cascaded throughout the warriors. First stopping them in their tracks, and then they began to crumble and fall apart! "Damn you, centurions!" cried Lo Fan, as he disappeared in a puff of smoke. As the Talon made short work of the few remaining Jinda left, the whole area began to rumble. "We must make haste!" shouted the Talon! But Justin was missing!
When Lo Fan had vanished, Justin had seen him reappear behind the alter. And watched as he scurried away through an unforeseen passage, like a cockroach. "You're not getting away from me this time", Justin though as he dove in right after him. Just as the save collapsed behind him.
There was no time to loose! They had only moments to leave. The Talon told Shelley that the digger did not have enough power to evacuate in that thing, and they had better leave it behind. "Power" she thought. I have an extra power cell right here with me. Remarkably, the power cell fit perfectly, and in a moment, she went from being the slowest member to escape, to the fastest.
When they reached the edge of the crater like formation, they had only seconds before the entire site has somehow been swallowed up by the earth! Wilhelm stood there, shocked that Justin's exploits were over. Shelley has an uncharacteristic tear on her cheek. Ming Lee stood in reverence and guilt over the centurion who had lost his life to end this menace and bring her back to the light. It was The Talon who broke the silence. "We will have to time to morn our fallen comrade later, centurions We should leave this place before the authorities, or anyone else comes calling."
Wilhelm said a particularly long good bye to Ming Lee, who vowed to see him again, someday. As The Talon made arrangements with a charter. A sad chore that was not neccesary in the original plan. But now... As the pontoon boat approached the dock, and the team looked on the bustling city of Shanghai with sadness, the door flung open.

As those of you who read my blog religiously will know (and I cling on to the hope that somebody out there somewhere reads every post with interest, even when I'm rambling or talking about not-so-interesting topics), I sold Merrington Missile back in September into a ridden home. This was his second (and hopefully final) bite at the cherry that is a 'forever home', the type of home that plenty of people proclaim to be able to offer but that very few can actually deliver on. After the first time where, through no fault of his own, he found his way back to me, I was obviously wary of this second attempt. From the moment the hammer fell at Builth in October 2013, Missile became my responsibility and although I am aware that once sold he becomes somebody else's, a part of me feels as though it was still my responsibility to place him in the best possible home with as secure a future as anyone can give an animal.
Due to the slightly uncomfortable moving in period where Missile went temporarily lame (thanks to some over-zealous hoof trimming and him being an absolute drama queen) during which time rumours were spread that I had sold a horse unfit for purpose (which reached the new owner), I was mildly concerned not to have heard from his new owner since October, when I'd last heard that he was sound, happy and bonding with his new human. I was even more nervous at the prospect of contacting the new owner to enquire about him, in case something had gone wrong or they had changed their minds about him and sold him on without letting me know. They say no news is good news, and plenty of people more sensible than I would have let sleeping dogs lie, hoped for the best and concentrated on the horses still in their care.
I am not sensible.
Yesterday I built up the courage to contact the new owners, because my well-documented overactive imagination had all sorts of scenarios playing out in my head, none of which resembled the true situation. Within minutes I had the reply I had hoped for - that he was as happy as a grumpy old sod like him could be. His new owner, Sahrina, is hacking him out on a near-daily basis, and on days when she can't take him out, she spends time with him in his stable. He has re-started his jumping, which sounds as though it is going well, and together they are looking forward to the summer when they can enjoy the good weather and continue his re-education under saddle. It sounds as though he is a firm favourite with the family, and indeed at the livery yard, with his characteristics and personality.
You can't begin to imagine the sense of relief I felt when I received that reply. Even better were the photos that accompanied, and the promise to keep in touch. I am not an interfering ex-owner - I simply like to keep track of my ex-charge's progress, especially when it has the potential to feature in my favourite part of the STAGBI newsletter (the bit about retired Standardbreds, which I know isn't everyone's cup of tea but is my way of trying to find secondary careers for the breed).
I worried that Missile would be a misunderstood soul, that the characteristics and traits that I found so amusing and endearing would be seen as hostile and undesirable by everyone else. He was serving a purpose to me as a racehorse and as long as his behaviour towards me didn't hinder that purpose, I was able to tolerate, and eventually appreciate, them. Once that purpose changed to essentially being a pet, I feared that they would have such an impact that he would be deemed not suitable for someone who wanted to fuss over him. Which was frustrating, because as a riding horse he was, and is, a delight. I miss him terribly, because as much as I didn't want to admit it, he was in some ways a better riding horse than Star. His natural head carriage, his swagger, his sensible head even when 100% race fit...he was a much more willing horse to ride than my own stubborn, spooky, unpredictable-at-times mare that I am keeping. I feel guilty for saying that because I don't like finding fault in her after how far she has brought me since I started riding her, but to acknowledge Missile's strengths requires me to acknowledge Star's weaknesses.
Fortunately, and this is where I will wrap this up, we found him someone who loves him just the way he is. Someone who looked at him and saw the beautiful face, the athletic build and the blank canvas that is a newly-retired racehorse. Someone who accepts the groaning, the ears back, the tail swishing when the girth is done up. Someone who has managed to do something that I could never do - get him to like her!
So I wish them well, and I hope to visit when I'm next in the area. Here are some photos of Missile in his new home (courtesy of Dawn & Sahrina), where he goes by the name 'Sgt Bash' (and no, I haven't asked where he got that name from, because I simply don't need to know!):
Over and out,

The act of being in business can change the way you end up approaching inherent and organic business issues, and, you need to be aware of these. Even so, these chapter topics are not about me coming to important decisions for you on a particular strategy. Nor will I offer detailed steps that will direct you towards identifying profitable ways to operate. I have made every attempt to make myself clear, without this becoming an uninspiring paint-by-numbers marketing guide. Without question, this book was never, ever, supposed to be about me at all, or even about you better understanding my thoughts. As it should be, it is about you better understanding yourself.

An essay is a type of writing which usually requires you to begin writing it the following day. There are some suggestions which you need to take into account in order that you make this potential. The first thing which you need to remember is that you do not need to complete your work on the exact same day that you start writing. You may take as much time as you want and whenever you believe that you have enough info to write about, you can keep on with this. However, you need to be disciplined enough to make certain you will finish it the following moment.
Another tip that you think about is that you can always re-read exactly what you’ve written on paper the previous day. This will help you get accustomed to the way things ought to be written so that you will not face any issues when you get started composing your corretor de texto ingles essay next day. Reading over what you have already composed will also help you decide whether there are still things you need to do. However, do not hurry to complete it the next day. You still should make sure that you have covered everything that you have written about.
Another tip to follow for you to be certain that you will start writing your essay next day is to find out how much time it will require one to finish it. There are a whole lot of people who frequently rush to finish their posts prior to the close of the month. They do this because they believe that they have more important things to do. However, they usually forget that they have a deadline for each mission that they have. In cases like this, you should specify a deadline and stick with it no matter what.
Whenever you’re trying to compose your essay following day, then you also have to make sure that you are consistent with the way that you write. Some authors have a tendency to skip between paragraphs or they may not place quotes around the paragraphs. This means that they usually rush through their project and they do not complete it all. Because of this, they don’t get too much praise in their professor as they ought to get. If you’re going to write an article, you need to be serious about doing it.
Another tip to follow is to choose topics that you are interested in. In this way, you will have something to talk about when you start composing. By way of instance, if you are writing a article about Shakespeare, you might want to decide on some quotes from the drama and relate them to the topic of your assignment. Obviously, you have to make sure you do not plagiarize the play.
You may want to be certain that you learn how to pace yourself when you are trying to compose your own assignment. Of course, you don’t wish to hurry through it and leave everything to the last moment. But it can be very difficult for you to study for an essay if you do not know how to pace yourself. If you want to make sure that you can complete it on time, then you want to make sure you set a few guidelines for yourself.

I want someone to really want me. Make a big deal about me, tell me I’m on your mind way too fucking much but you kinda like it. Make it completely obvious that I’m the person you want. Tell me you can’t wait to see me; show me how you feel so I can feel it too.
Make me feel something I’ve never felt before. Tell your friends about me & I’ll tell them about how you make butterflies swam my stomach. Want me as much as I want you.

SIPPET Slowly: This One's HOT!
Published on: July 01, 2011
Drs. Mannucci and Gringeri are the principal investigators for this trial.
Study Title: Inhibitor Development in Previously Untreated Patients or Minimally Blood Component-Treated Patients With Severe Hemophilia A When Exposed to von Willebrand Factor-Containing Factor VIII (vWF/FVIII) Concentrates and to Recombinant Factor VIII Concentrates: an International, Multicenter, Prospective, Controlled, Randomized, Open-Label, Clinical Trial (The SIPPET Trial)
Coordinator: This independent study is sponsored by Fondazione Angelo Bianchi Bonomi.
Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT01064284
Participating Centers: 77 centers: 32 in nine European countries, 14 in three Asian countries, six in two African countries, 15 in the United States, 10 in four Latin American countries
Accrual Goal: 300 patients (129 randomized to date)
Study Design: This is a prospective trial designed to compare inhibitor incidence in previously untreated patients or minimally blood-component-treated patients with hemophilia exposed to plasma-derived vWF/FVIII or recombinant FVIII products. Eligibility criteria are as follows: male sex, age <6 years, severe hemophilia A (FVIII:C <1%) without evidence of an inhibitor, previously untreated or minimally treated (<5 exposure days) with blood components only.
Patients are randomized to receive exclusively a single FVIII product (plasma-derived or recombinant), and they are then followed until they reach one of the following three endpoints: inhibitor development, 50 days of exposure to the FVIII product, or three years from enrollment. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients who develop antifactor VIII antibodies based on analysis performed following every three to four exposure days or every three months, whichever occurs first. Patients on prophylactic therapy will be tested every two weeks. The following secondary objectives are aimed at identifying risk factors for inhibitor development: age at first treatment; bleeding severity; surgery; treatment intensity; treatment regimen; vaccination history; concurrent infections; complications of venous access; delivery type; breastfeeding; FVIII gene defect; FVIII antigen concentration; HLA type, IL-10.G (promoter region microsatellite); TNF-α concentration; and CTLA-4 polymorphisms.
Rationale: The most challenging complication of hemophilia A is inadequate control of bleeding due to development of antibodies against FVIII. An unresolved issue is whether plasma-derived and recombinant FVIII products are associated with different risks of inhibitor development. A systematic review of published studies was uninformative because the analyzed trials differed in designs, case definitions, treatment regimens, patients’ characteristics, FVIII inhibitors assays, sample size, and duration of follow-up (Iorio A et al. J Thromb Haemost.2010;8:1256-1265). The SIPPET trial is the first prospective, randomized study aimed at establishing whether recombinant and plasma-derived products confer a different relative risk of developing factor VIII antibodies.
Comment: Development of anti-factor VIII antibodies greatly complicates management of patients with hemophilia A, as treatment outcome using bypass agents, such as recombinant factor VIIa or factor IX complexes, is unpredictable and expensive. Eradication of inhibitors by inducing immune tolerance using scheduled FVIII infusions is effective in ~70 percent of patients, but the process is demanding and costly. The SIPPET study is aimed at determining if the incidence of antibody development is influenced by the source of replacement product. How the findings will influence practice ultimately will depend on the magnitude of differences (if observed) and perhaps the willingness of patients to put aside concerns about safety if the plasma-derived product proves superior. Any randomized trial that involves a rare disease is a monumental undertaking, but the SIPPET trial, which involves patients and investigators in 19 countries on four continents, is particularly noteworthy.

We are in the car; the only car on the road…
Under a sky incomprehensibly large and blue, the road stretches forth and curves into the landscape before us. In the rearview mirror, Dust rises up chaotically and settles back down on the road behind.
“A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems buried in those holes,” says my companion, recycling the oft-used line from the film Casino.
Funny thing about a hole in the desert…
If it’s dug one day, it will probably be gone the next. Upon returning to the spot of the dig, you might find that your hole has inexplicably vanished, or that somehow, your road is now snaking away to avoid it entirely. Or maybe more likely, during your journey, the hole effortlessly gets obscured by Dust, while the problems within fade into the desert’s distant memory. As our car speeds down the road, a muted brown and grey Dust cloud cyclones in our wake and obscures briefly the sky; suspiciously I watch it fluttering calmly back down to the floor. From where I sit in the back seat, the cloud could very well be Desert Dust’s long lost cousin, Sea Sand, disturbed by dark, scaly limbs and then drifting down to rest once more in the sea bed.
“All there is, is Dust,” the Zen master says.
The Zen master believes that Dust merely sits still, thoughtfully minding its own business while preserving the memories of small paws as they scurry lightly across the desert. But that passivity is far from the truth. As the Zen master paces and turns his eyes to the sky, Desert Dust emerges quietly from its shy hibernation, and goes to work, insistently turning problems in holes into bones. From following roads to being problems in holes, and then finally turning to bones: this is Man’s lifecycle, methodically driven by Dust.
Another paradox of the desert
The higher you go, the bigger the landscape is, and the larger the sky. As you rise, you think you should be able to see more; but, as if awakening from a deep slumber, Dust simply inhales, stretches out comfortably to fill your vision, then exhales, and continues to cover holes, making problems fade into memories. Although he would never admit it, this paradox is endlessly frustrating to the Zen master, who climbs the rocks to seek fundamental truths. The higher he gets, he does see more of his path; but it aimlessly winds through the landscape, with no beginning and no end.
All there is, is Dust.


I dream and day dream my garden. In 1976, at 23, I started my first garden. My fingernails have been dirty ever since. With each year and new property I have slowly changed to focus entirely on the production of food. My city backyard is a farm, with an orchard, chickens, turkeys, bees and vegetable gardens. I am blessed with a big yard- more than ¾ acre. Working a large yard is a steep learning curve. I experiment with varieties, locations, organic methods and push the envelope to include rare, tropical, and high chill fruits. My successes are stupendous, my failures colossal. Most of all, I have learned what real food tastes like. My garden nourishes my family and my soul. My blog will keep a record of my experiences over the months and years in L.A.'s richly diverse year long garden. This site will be memoir, diary and calendar. It will help me to plan the future, remember the past and connect with anyone who might want to share in or learn from my obsession.


Do you prefer reading to socializing? Are you more of an introvert?
Don’t have "the guilties” because you enjoy your alone time. It’s healthy to spend time with yourself. Enjoy the quietness and get lost in a story for a while.
"The guilties” are a commonly misplaced sense of guilt when enjoying something you feel you shouldn’t. For example, giving up a night out with friends to enjoy a good book can give someone "the guilties”. Although this phenomenon is a growing issue among the reading community, it has a cure.
If you are a lover of literature who enjoys the company of fictional characters, great adventures, and iconic heroes/heroines from the comfort of your home, you may be at risk of obtaining "the guilties.” There are ways to combat them. Enjoy what you’re doing. Don’t worry about what others are doing. Do not let FOMO (fear of missing out) stir a pit in your stomach. Have fun exploring new realms, meeting new characters, and finding your own inspiration.
Don’t let the “guilties” win when you are reading.
I've felt the inklings of "the guilties" pressing in when I get a text from a friend who wants to go out... when all I want to do is sit in bed and read until I pass out. It sounds silly and loner-ish to people who crave energy from others, but the chances are they feel "the guilties" when they are doing something else that they love. Maybe it isn't reading. Maybe it's napping, or watching your favourite TV show, or listening to music, or painting and letting that creative side flow.
For me, it's reading and writing. I enjoy stories best when I'm by myself so I can be fully immersed in the world the author is creating. So, when I get a text from someone who wants to spend time with me... but I want to spend time with my current literary adventure and fictional characters, I have to fight off "the guilties" by placing my phone face-down. I ignore the growing FOMO brewing in my chest and settle back into my spot. I drink my tea, and I enjoy reading or writing the rest of that chapter.
I stop thinking about the rest of the world for a little while.


Many countries have become aware of how dependent they are on supply relationships, whether importing or exporting. This is especially important due to the current Corona pandemic, but has also been an extensively discussed topic for some time.The government measures against the global pandemic strongly contribute to global supply bottlenecks. Thus, the supply chain becomes more of a "supply puzzle" (Schlautmann, 2020).
Making early decisions in key areas and managing them on a daily basis often helps to guide and ensure the long-term strategic growth of companies. Diversifying supply chains is a key strategy to safeguard against unexpected disruptions in the supply and procurement process. A sufficiently diversified company has the flexibility not only to continue business activities in the event of external factors leading to trade constraints. It also focuses on minimising dependencies on individual and critical supply chain partners by building a broad network of diverse business partners.
Accordingly, the diversification of partners and customers is just as important as the geographical diversity of supply chains.

Experience of 'a part of Us'
The first time I made my work realised, at the moment the action had the consequences I felt insecure of my intentions. I had courage but not trust in myself. As people's action of participating increased I observed their existence emerging with mine in every person. In the end I had the ability to concentrate on this emergence rather than trying to remember what to say. I could be there with them more.
Some left whenever it finishes, some sit in front of me with wanting to share more.
One person stopped, looked me in the eyes after watching the burning paper together.
One person knew 3 languages; arabic, hebrew and english, couldn't find the right word to describe it with words started to scribble. She was free and she felted that she can be. When she finished, I asked her where she wants me to put it as I ask to everyone in case they want a special existence in the installation, she crambled the paper and chose to put it in the corner of the wall. Sounds simple but it has it's own strong trust on being free.
One person wrote "nothing".
Every time I was absorbing a complete different person, I could see mostly differencies than similarities but everyone is so unique that it takes all my attention to the person I can honestly look into their eyes.


Welcome to Prosper 2.0!
Picture this...Instead of constantly rushing, you enjoy a life of ease and flow.
Rather than enduring a workplace you hate, just trying to make it through to knock-off time, now you can choose a career filled with purpose and passion.
Instead of having to put up with relationships that don’t work, you experience bliss in your family and in your business. Instead of struggling to meet ends, you are experiencing financial abundance.
It happened to me. I know it can happen to you too!
You have big dreams about living in luxury, having tons of fun, uplifting thousands, and being showered with dollars flying in all around you from that amazing business that you love.
You may be worried that this program is just another wrong turn. Many "gurus" have told you that you can "have it all" if you will just follow their system. You read all the manifestation books and watched the "Secret" movie at least 50 times.
BUT despite the courses, books, movies and certifications it isn't coming together. You are still running after business and it’s heavy like pushing a rock uphill. You are tired, overwhelmed and money is not quite flowing in abundance.
In fact, when you think about your business, life and money, it feels like you are wishing for a set of beautiful new dishes. You know how amazing and beautiful they look and feel. You are ready to serve a feast on those beautiful plates. Then, you look up and stretch out your hands to receive the dishes. All you manifest is one broken plate.
I have been there. After growing up an abused child in a dangerous home full of lack and fear, I wanted to obtain my own abundant dreams. For years I struggled to be successful. In my 40’s I found myself working 3 jobs, living a chaotic life in a bad marriage and being more than 500K in debt.
After reading manifesting books, getting masters degrees, and helping others for years I thought for sure it was my turn to live in prosperity. However, one thing after another kept going wrong. I started thinking it was just my “lot in life” and went on a walk to plan my suicide.
Thankfully, a miraculous intervention derailed my suicide plans and I had a mindset change.
The change of mindset opened a door for me. One in which I would find my calling and learn how to clear mental and physical chaos so that I aligned with clarity. The clarity provided space for focus, strategy and understanding of the Universal codes for success and prosperity.
Today I am no longer in debt, own 4 very successful businesses and lead others from my calling. I have successfully lead corporations, organizations and individuals to define and obtain prosperity.
It's time for you to learn how to quit pushing and instead receive mentorship. Learn, understand and live the rules of the Universe and success. Then, blend it with strategy.
When you align to these principles, you will transform. Your prosperity, dreams and business will unfold in front of you like magic.
You will have it all. The life, business, fun and MONEY.
If you are ready to PROSPER…
I am your leader and this is your tribe.
IN THE PROSPER GROUP, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE:
Obtain clarity, define and live into the prosperity and lifestyle of your dreams.
Coaching and leadership to master the mindset, strategies, confidence and income that allows you to live into the greatness and wealth you deserve.
Step-by-step coaching, instruction, strategy and support so that you grow your business to 25k per month income.
The ability to attract clients, increase your income, and sales easily through relational selling, leaving behind the male model of being salesy, spammy and/ or pressured.
Releasing blocks and thought patterns that have kept you from experiencing happiness, joy, receiving abundance in the past.
Masterminding with group members who are also building the wealth, businesses and lifestyles they love while experiencing the feminine journey of success.
Mastery of magic wand style manifesting techniques, strategies, spiritual guidance, and Universal Laws of Success that allow you to live in confidence and attract clients, money, love, wholeness, wealth and daily joy.

About Your Founder - Paula Bohland
As a master business and mindset coach with more than 25 years of experience, I've helped thousands of women grow and thrive.
Throughout my journey as an entrpreneur, I struggled to find other female mentors and leaders who connected with my mission and way of doing business.
Just a few years ago I was in more than $500,000 in debt, living in a bad marriage, losing my home and eating one meal a day so I could feed my son. I was broke and broken-financially, emotionally, and spiritually.
I went on a walk to plan my death. I was going to commit suicide.
On that walk, a miracle occurred...
After experiencing the miracle, I gave myself one last chance to change it all.
That decision resulted in a journey that “changed my mind”. My mindset transformed from a focus on lack and complaining to that of extreme gratitude and abundance thinking.
I did not make the transformation alone. During that journey, I received coaching and mentoring. I also studied and mastered the spiritual, Universal laws that govern success, manifesting money, and defined my own prosperity.
As I changed my mind, everything else started to change. I felt better, my businesses were succeeding, I was making (and keeping) money.
Today all of my debts are paid. I live an amazing life and own multiple homes (My friends call me a “mogul”). I have a favorite home which is at the beach and you can find me there often since I take Fridays off. I travel frequently, have tons of fun and really love life. I am a money-making, manifesting mofo entrepreneur who wants you to become one too.

A great book by George Clason with concepts worth looking over. The book illustrates the importance of saving and investing early; most importantly the development of key habits to help establish improved financial wealth. Take action in cultivating rich habits:
- Pay yourself first. Save at least 10% of your income (the more the better).
- Make money work for you by creating passive income streams. Do not save just for the sake of saving; save to acquire profitable investments!
- Live below your means. It’s how much you keep, not how much you earn which determines whether you’re wealthy or not.
- Utilise the effects of compounding. Whether its habits or money, the power of compounding over an extensive period of time leads to great returns/rewards. In other words, you reap what you sow!

yeah I just love this new meme so much you know the way it just [clenches fist] came out of nowhere
Hey, hey, don’t steal my meme hating. I was doing meme hating while you were still in diapers. Or perhaps when I was in diapers. I can’t remember that far back. In any case: get off my lawn!
"Get off my lawn" is an overdone meme.
"A poem for the Strange Times", Ratatosk the Squirrel, Intermittens 3
I must admit that never before
were times like these in the days of yore.
Why can you imagine? What kind of a change,
will happen since they’ve developed the “flame”
and that newfangled wheel? Strange Times we live in!
Interests (Improved List)
I liked my last interests list, but I wanted to make it more compact and accessible, so I split up roughly everything I’m really into talking about into 8 groups. If you want to chat about one of these things or get an explanation of what the hell it is, my askbox is always open.
Why I Can’t Have Nice Things
"Who are those people?" I asked, pointing to the group of people at the furthest table.
"The Tobins." said Amanda, leaning in conspiratorially.
"They’re Ms. Tobin’s foster kids. They moved down here from Alaska or Canada, like, a few years ago. They kinda keep to themselves." said Imogen.
"Yeah, because they’re all together. None of them date. Uh, the blonde girl, that’s Maddy, and the big dark-haired guy, Andy, they’re totally a thing. I’m not even sure that’s legal."
"Amanda, they’re not actually related."
"Yeah, but they live together. It’s weird-and, okay, the little dark-haired girl is Karen. She’s really quiet, and she’s with Percy, the blonde one who looks like he’s in pain." Amanda finished.
"And what about her?" I asked, pointing to the dark-haired one scowling at the end of the table."
"She’s Karen, I just said-"
"No, the one to her right."
Amanda followed the trajectory of my finger with her eyes.
"There’s no one there."
Statement of Intent
Once I graduate college I’m going to travel the world. My money will come from writing, editing, publishing, acting, directing, producing, recording, photographing and working odd jobs. I’ll travel by plane, train, bike and foot everywhere I like, and I will carry everything I need with me. I’ll hitchhike, couchsurf, camp and explore with reckless abandon. I will take the road less traveled, freed from the expenses of owning a car, supporting a family or paying a mortgage, and I will do everything in my power to enjoy myself instead of being trapped in some consumerist retelling of the American Dream.
When I was growing up, many people tried to discourage me from this dream because of their own irrational fears. I grew to doubt myself because I was young, impressionable, depressed and unconfident, and as a result what I wanted to do with my life felt impossible because it wasn’t allowed by their closed-minded system. Because of that a section of my life has been spent in limbo, feeling powerless and without direction, just paying lip service to my goals.
My life is a piece of property, and it’s mine to do with as I choose. Even if it means being disowned by every person close to me, losing everything of value in my life, being subjected to hunger and pain, and dying sad and alone, I will travel the world! From this point forward, anyone who tries to stop me from living that life, who tries to murder my future because they feel like they have more of a right to decide it than I do, is making themselves my enemy.
This is my statement of intent: when I’m 22 and have a Bachelor’s degree to my name, I’ll be traveling.
Or kill me.
(Footnote of interest: yearly in the US roughly 16 people die of hitchhiking. To offer some context to that, 13 people die each year because vending machines fall on them. The world is often dangerous, but people who think it’s out to get them specifically are displaying the worst kind of arrogance. Most of your fears are irrational. Be pessimistic about pessimism.)
Didn’t Moffat write something for DWM once about how ‘Remembrance of the Daleks’ was the coolest and it proved that Doctor Who would always come back? If so, he was dead right.
Mind you, he must’ve been watching it thinking ‘now, if only there were loads of quips in this like in Cheers, and the Ace/Mike thing was more like a will they/won’t they romantic comedy, and Mike and the Doctor made loads of blokey “tsh, women eh!” remarks to each other, and Rachel was fixated on the Doctor because he’d been in her bedroom when she was a little girl, and then Skaro could be blown up by the power of heterosexual love instead of by the Hand of Omega… then it’d be perfect’.
Susan gazed pityingly at her new boyfriend’s face, or what passed for a face among humans. His entire fourth spatial dimension missing. Humans were paper-thin creatures, barely there at all.
She stroked his cheek. David had the sense of enormous hollow regions, of the vast shadows between moments… it was too much, his mind couldn’t contain it. He screamed.
Stricken, Susan concentrated, and David felt those impressions flowing back out of his mind. Blessed forgetfulness replaced the cosmic vertigo, only the ghost of a memory of great distance in his mind.
"What are you?" he whispered hoarsely.
"Did you think I was a girl? A mammal? My people are the rulers of Time."
"What does that mean?"
"It means that I have to be very careful when I touch you, or I’ll tear you apart."


"Your giving changes lives."
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. – Hebrews 13:16.Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed. – Proverbs 19:17.Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. – 2 Corinthians 9:7
Ways to Give
When you give to Christ Church, you can be assured that your gift will be used to benefit those in need living in our local and global communities. Blessing others financially, is a way for us to come together and show the love of Christ and let them know we care.
Your gift, no matter how big or small, helps us to spread God's love and bring hope and cheer to others right where they need it the most.
If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday. – Isaiah 58:10


I don’t know about you, but come summer I decide it’s time to read all those books I’ve been meaning to start (notice I didn’t say “finish”), and I accumulate magazines galore. Maybe it’s the more frequent trips to the beach and strolls through the airport news stands? Or maybe it’s that life seems to slow down a bit. Either way, by midsummer the result is usually a messy stack of half-read paperbacks by my bed and a kitchen island scattered with Dwell and People. It’s not a pretty sight, but perhaps you want to take things into your own hands and create a stylish solution for those messy stacks and cluttered counters.

I've talked to my friends about it. We've come to a consensus: Whenever you are happy and in a relationship, your exes (past lovers/ex-muse/whatever) shows up and tries to recapture what they once had. Don't you wonder what was running through their mind when they picked up their phone? Sometimes I ask. Sometimes, I even receive answers!
Looking back, I doubt that they were being completely honest with me (or themselves). Some could only vaguely remember who I was or why they wanted me (thank you inebriation). Although others, unabashedly let me know that their desires were of a more "animalistic" nature. Yet, there were a couple who could only remember the good times we had (even if there were NEVER any good times).
No matter the reason, whenever such circumstances occur, I decide to reflect upon my entire being.
"Oh my GOD! What did I ever see in them? How could I do that to myself? Love truly is blind. Why couldn't I be blind and talented like Helen Keller, Stevie Wonder, or the Daredevil?!?!"
After the shock wears off, it's so easy to list the reasons that we can't be together and in my heart there is no yearning to return to what there once was. All I can do is be civil and direct in my response to the stupidity of this world and place my faith in a higher power.
Even though my friends and I can agree that we've all experienced this, none of us are entirely sure of how the phenomenon happens or what can be done to stop it. Truly, it isn't too much of a nuisance. They are just like mosquitos buzzing around in the late, hot, muggy summer days in Alabama: irritating and insignificant.
Just like the mosquito. they are annoying as can be but they don't stay around for long. As Valentine's Day is right around the corner, go to your nearest grocery store and purchase a fly swatter. There is a swarm of mosquitos most likely headed your way.

The title of this newsletter is, as are some of its writings, tongue and cheek. In Seeing Like a State, James C. Scott writes of high modernism as an insidious ideology, wherein central authorities believed they had the ability to improve the world and instead wrought disaster. High modernism fails in Scott’s framing because it rejects Hayek: Knowledge is highly localized and a failure to respect local knowledge can result in disasters.
Yet the world is also deeply inadequate. It seems like there are so many ways it could become so much better. So I’m here, in this newsletter and my career, to explore whether there may yet be a few grand schemes that can actually improve the human condition.
