    The First Of Four

    Hey Cats & Kittens...

    On this day in 1993 Razor Ramon defeated Rick Martel for the WWE Intercontinental Title on an episode of RAW is WAR.

    Now Razor, aka Scott Hall, really had it all. Size, skill, charisma....

    But the only thing he didn't have, and still doesn't have, was the ability to keep his demons in check, because there is no reason as to why he couldn't win a World Title. To my knowledge, he really only had one major WWE Title shot at that was against Bret Hart at the 1993 Royal Rumble.

    Regardless... he was the first wrestler to win the IC strap four times, a record that would stand untill Jeff Jarrett won his fifth IC title in 1999.  Speaking of Jarrett, Razor won his 2nd and 3rd IC titles off of Double J with the fourth being off of Dean Douglas.

    It's arguable that his bigger success was in WCW, where he won the Television, United States and Tag Team ttiles. But again, Hall's personal demons kept him from the very top. His return to the WWE in 2002, his runs in TNA, were all cut short because of his problems.

    Hi Friends,

    I really need your help. A notoriously cruel circus is scheduled to be in Leesburg, FL on Oct. 28 - 29. There's already a massive demo organized, but I want it cancelled before it ever gets started. The Cole circus has had employees prosecuted for child rape, negligent homicide, burglary, and the list of horrible animal abuse is documented going back for decades.

    I don't know how to do this any other way, so I hope I can count on ya'll for help. Can you please cut and paste the following letter in an email and email it to the addresses for the Property Management Company and the Investor Group?

    Thank you so much for your help. Sometimes financial losses are the only way to get the abusers' attention.

    Here are the addresses to send the emails:

    BOYCOTT OF ALL SIMON-MANAGED MALLS UNLESS
    COLE BROTHERS CIRCUS IS CANCELLED AT LAKE SQUARE MALL


    Lake Square Mall in Lake County, Florida is providing the venue for the notorious Cole Brothers’ Circus. Since this circus has an extensive history of extreme cruelty to the performing animals as well as crimes against spectators and bystanders, THIS IS MY PLEDGE TO BOYCOTT ANY SIMON PROPERTY GROUP.

    Cole Brothers’ employees have been prosecuted for everything from child rape to negligent homicide in the deaths of two elderly people by unlicensed operators. They have a two-decade long history of violations by the USDA that have never been rectified. The most recent citations were issued by the USDA in April 2008 for extreme cruelty to animals.

    From 1983 through 2005, Cole Brothers circus, and the venues which sponsored them, were responsible for: A man who suffered multiple traumas, including broken bones, when an elephant grabbed him and threw him to the ground. An elephant crushed a woman to death in Connecticut. Although the USDA cited the circus for inadequate security on multiple occasions, no provisions were implemented to protect spectators. Two tigers escaped from an unlocked cage in Pennsylvania and roamed around a crowd of 2,000 people. An elephant crushed a man to death in New York. Also in New York, a 450-pound tiger escaped, two women suffered spinal fractures and filed a $60 million lawsuit; a multi-car pileup on the Jackie Robinson Parkway resulted.

    In August 2001, a Cole Brothers circus clown was found guilty on nine counts, including sodomy, sexual abuse, and endangering the welfare of a child, for sexually abusing a child. The boy testified that the clown, Christopher Bayer, began sodomizing him when he was 11-years old.

    The Cole Brothers circus has been cited as recently at April 2008 for failure to provide veterinary care to the performing animals. Because elephants are not examined or treated for tuberculosis, they pose an extreme health risk to any audience. In 2007, one USDA inspector observed that because of the failure to provide medical attention, “prohibiting public contact with these elephants is necessary to ensure the health of both the elephants and the public by minimizing the potential spread of tuberculosis.”

    In May 2008, a Cole Brothers employee admitted to committing three burglaries.

    Cole Brothers Circus has consistently been cited by the USDA for violations of extreme animal cruelty for over two decades. No effort has ever been made to provide the animals any relief. Elephants are consistently and regularly beaten with bull hooks as business-as-usual and receive no medical attention. Again, the violations are far too extensive to enumerate, but typical for Cole Brothers: In June 2000, Pete, an elephant regularly beaten with bull-hooks, kicked and beaten with rods, sufferred from arthritis and age-related injuries. He was unable to perform his act properly at an event in New York. He was taken to a tent where he laid down. Five trainers beat Pete with bull hooks. Pete died.

    I am very troubled that you would support such an event and I will make certain that my voice is heard in this matter.

    What is Creativity?

    Saturday, October 11, 2008, 05:50 AM GMT [General]

    Hi all,

    I am the Editor. I am here to ensure that all on this site are behaving ‘Creatively’. So, point one, do not let my opening statement in anyway intimidate you! For the purpose of this site, ‘Creativity’ can be described as:

    ‘Creativity is a mental process involving the generation of new idea’s or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. An alternative conception of creativity is that it is simply the act of making something new.

    From a scientific point of view, the products of creative thought (sometimes referred to as divergent thought) are usually considered to have both originality and appropriateness.

    Although intuitively a simple phenomenon, it is in fact quite complex. It has been studied from the perspectives of behavioural psychology, social psychology, psychometrics, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, philosophy, history, economics, design research, business, and management, among others. The studies have covered everyday creativity, exceptional creativity and even artificial creativity. Unlike many phenomena in science, there is no single, authoritative perspective or definition of creativity. And unlike many phenomena in psychology, there is no standardized measurement technique.

    Creativity has been attributed variously to divine intervention, cognitive processes, the social environment, personality traits, and chance ("accident", "serendipity"). It has been associated with genius, mental illness and humour. Some say it is a trait we are born with; others say it can be taught with the application of creativity techniques | simple techniques.

    Although popularly associated with art and literature, it is also an essential part of innovation and invention and is important in professions such as business, economics, architecture, industrial design, science and engineering.

    Despite, or perhaps because of, the ambiguity and multi-dimensional nature of creativity, entire industries have been spawned from the pursuit of creative ideas and the development of creativity techniques.’ [1]

    Therefore, please feel free to be as creative and imaginative as you wish. The rules are few and simple. Respect your fellow users; be courteous and kind, abuse will not be tolerated at any time. No illegal acts, no need to spell out that one and finally be respectful, remember, this is a forum, valid input and free opinion is right of every Creativesonline site member.

    Have fun and feel free to contact me on any site based issues.

    New Chapter - Selling the Novel

    Friday, October 10, 2008, 09:50 PM PST [General]

    I'm glad to be part of this community. I've written a novel that I want to get to market. Learning about agents and how to make a match with the right one is my current challenge. I want an agent who loves my novel, has tons of experience connecting authors like me with the right publisher, who is interested in working together for a long time, and who is professional and fun to work with. Am I asking too much?

    The class on writing a query is one that I'm looking forward to starting on the 23rd. Anyone with tips on the agent search, please share your ideas!

    QUIERES RECIBIR A CRISTO?

    Quieres Recibir a Cristo?

    Este es el primer paso:

    Que si confesares con tu boca que Jesús es el Señor, y creyeres en tu corazón que Dios le levantó de los muertos , serás salvo. Porque con el corazón se cree para justicia, pero con la boca se confieza para salvación. ( Romanos 10:9-10)

    "El padre ama al Hijo, y todas las cosas a entregado en su mano" Juan 3:35

    Os digo que todo aquel que me confesare delante de los hombres, también el Hijo del Hombre lo confesará delante de los ángeles de Dios. (Lucas 12:8)

    Porque el que se avergonzare de mí y de mis palabras en esta generación adúltera, el Hijo del Hombre se avergonzará también de él cuando venga en la gloria de su Padre con los Santos Angeles. (Marc.8:38)

    Y les dijo: Así está escrito, y así fue necesario que el Cristo padeciese, y resucitase de los muertos al tercer día; y que se predicase en su nombre el arrepentimiento y el perdón de pecados en todas las naciones comenzando desde Jerusalén. (Lucas 24:46-47) .

    "Respondió Jesús: De cierto, de cierto te digo, que el que no naciere de agua y del Espíritu, no puede entrar en el reino de Dios. Lo que es nacido de la carne, carne es; y lo que es nacido del Espíritu, espíritu es" Juan 3: 5-6

    Todos hemos pecamos ; Y la paga por los pecados es muerte, (Rom.6:23), Jesús sufrió muerte en una cruz por tus pecados, él ya pagó por ti. (I Pedro 2:24)

    Si crees en la palabra de Dios y entiendes que la salvación es un regalo de Dios, que no la puedes lograr por obras;"porque por gracia sois salvos por medio de la fé; y esto no de vosotros, pues es don de Dios; no por obras, para que nadie se gloríe." Efesios 2:8-9. Entonces has de corazón ( sintiendolo dentro de tí ), la siguiente oración:

    "Padre Santo, yo confiezo que soy pecador y me arrepiento Señor de haberte ofendido.

    Yo creo Padre que tu enviastes a tu Hijo Jesús, y que él murió por mis pecados, y resucitó al tercer día según las escrituras, que su sangre me límpia de todos mis pecados, y que él es el único camino a tí, hoy paso a una nueva vida, paso de la oscuridad a la luz, paso de la muerte espiritual a la vida eterna, en tu Hijo Jesucristo."

    Jesús ven a mi corazón, cambia mi vida, hazla útil a tí, que haga yo tú voluntad y no la mía, vive en mí; Tú eres mi salvador y mi Señor, amén"

    I Want To Introduce a Woman to Admire!

    Friday, October 10, 2008, 10:45 PM MST [General]

    Folks one of my dearest friends has arrived at Blue Goose.  I have learned so much from her and she has such depth of heart.  Simrat will show many of us how to journey in harmony with the bigger plan as our guide.  I love this woman!  She has a daughter who I believe has depth of connection with the universe beyond most of our comprehension.  We'll see if I'm correct as time passes by, but I think this girl is meant for bigger things.

    Please welcome Simrat to our fold.  I think she will surprise you all!  Sofia, I think you will find Simrat refreshing and helpful in your journey.  ChrisJC she has a sense of correctness that is expressed in a comforting and welcoming way, I think you will find her enlightening and balanced and a true comrade.

    Welcome  Simrat!  :D  How'd ya like that for putting you on the spot?  hehe

    Postal Bizarro World

    Friday, October 10, 2008, 11:44 PM CST [General]

    After carrying my route today, I got back to the post office about 3:40 PM. That's about twenty minutes early, since my end time is 4:00 PM. The station manager, a person I don't think has ever carried mail, asked me why I was back so early. I was puzzled, since I'm thinking the goal is to get back as soon as possible. I told her that I could leave and come back later. She thought for a second and declined my offer. But she explained to me about the current policy that all carriers should clock in with no more than five minutes left before the end tour. I explained to her that this is nothing new for me, that I got in trouble with the last supervisor for coming back early. I told her I get in more trouble coming back a few minutes early than people who come back several hours late. The problem (if you call it that) is that I don't want the overtime, and I finish my route in a timely manner so I can go home. But the dumba$$ postal management doesn't know what to do with someone who comes back early, as the rest come back late. I'm often the only one who doesn't use any overtime.

    I told my plight to a fellow carrier, one whom I consider one of the best carriers I have ever known in my life. He told me that he was actually given a Pre-D (pre-disciplinary interview) for coming back early. It was his day off, he finished his route, and he came back a little early to make sure he didn't go into penalty time. The dumba$$ supervisor actually gave this stellar carrier a Pre-D!!!!! How's that for stupidity?

    So this afternoon the station manager calls me into the office. She says she remembers someone telling me I'm good at something, but can't remember what it is. I'm looking around her office, and it looked like a hurricane had hit it. I'm assuming she wants some help, so I answer the question by telling her I used to be a 204B. She says no, that's not what she heard. I tell her I'm pretty good with the Internet. No, that's not it either, she says. I tell her I'm also good with the computer. Nope, that's not it either. Then she remembers. She tells me that she heard I was good at hanging things. Well, that's a new one for me. Eventually she told me she heard I was good at hanging bulletins on the bulletin board, and she had a lot of them, judging by the mess in her office. Bizarro is the word.

    We recently got a new "enforcer" supervisor. He's a 204B, I believe light-duty, and from what I've heard he can't get promoted to full-time supervisor because he can't even pass the initial, qualifying ASP supervisor test. I also heard he was one of the worst carriers at his station. In fact, one of our carriers who's not known for being that great, said they used to send HIM to help the 204B! The 204B started off on his first morning by telling carriers they can't report to the clock area to clock in until five minutes before the start time. He's new, but he's telling carriers that have worked at my post office for 20 or 30 years or more they can't be on their own workroom floor. It's not like carriers are reporting too early - maybe 15 minutes early so to give a little leeway as to not be late in case of traffic etc. For decades, we've stood around the clock waiting to clock in. Can't anymore. Now we have to wait in the parking lot or the small break room.

    The unsatisfactory supervisor has continued his antics, including giving Pre-Ds and Letters of Warnings for one missed scan and for going over DOIS time one time. He's been there a week and already he's got several EEOs in the process of going against him. Plus, he's blatantly violating the contract by giving discipline based on DOIS alone. I think he should get a Letter of Warning for failure to follow instructions.

    Anyway, all the carriers at my post office are raw from the abusive managers that are paraded through our station. And we're not going to take it anymore. We're going to file our EEOs and grievances until this unsatisfactory supervisor is gone and we get someone who is somewhere close to being professional. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am with the Dallas management team. There are still a few good ones left, but most are not qualified, are unprofessional and just plain mean people. Back when I started in 1990 there were many good supervisors. They had been hand-picked once they proved themselves as carriers and showed some leadership qualities. Today, the ASP system picks people based on demographics, not proven managerial abilities. Now, we have a bunch of unqualifed people supervising in Dallas, and the work environment has never been worse to my knowledge. The sorry supervisors band together and watch each other's backs, forming an impromptu coalition against competent managers and upper management. Bizarro is the word, and the Postal Service in Dallas should be ashamed of the way they are treating people. This is the 21st century, yet they're using late 19th century intimidation and coercion management techniques. Until the USPS resolves this problem, the workplace in Dallas, and I'm sure in other cities, will continue to be marked by inefficiencies, incompetence, and confrontation.

    My images demand attention

    Saturday, October 11, 2008, 05:31 AM GMT [General]

    “My images demand attention”. They are drunk with colour, which activates the emotive content and enigmatic drama they offer. I want the viewer to be overwhelmed by their saturation.  An ambition for the work is to produce images that are difficult to be indifferent to.

     Even though the colour is highly charged there lies a psychological edge to the painting, whether as a portrait or invention, which works in conjunction with the colour to add to its presentation. I want the viewer to be reduced to silence in experiencing the work, where the image takes over and words become redundant.

     In this current work I have reduced my palate and have begun to explore situating the figures in more invented spaces. I believe they still contain the psychological and emotional field that interests me but with a more coherent delivery. Although I have reduced the palate of the paintings, the colour is still there and is best experienced first hand, particularly in some works, where it seems to be seeping back in through the darkness.

    te he buscado en tantos labios hasta el dia de hoy

    mil veses he resado para ke te encuentres bien

    junto a ti yo estoy y no me puedo perder

    eres parte de mi ser y mi destino

    junto ati la maldad es inofensiva

    junto ati so`nar so`nar

    hoy por ti puedo reir y no llorar

    desde ke llegaste descubri en mi vida el amor

    desde ke llegaste se ha alegrado mi vida

    sanaste mis dolore y heridas con el reflejo de tu alma

    kiero despertar junto ati simpre siempre

    ya no puedo seguir asi sola sola sin ti

    para esa sonrisa no okupas coskillas

    pero sigues tan sensillo de un homor perfecto

    kuando estoy con tigo aprendo tantas cosas

    este amor simpre defendere con u`nas y dientes

    kien dijo amigos dijo amor ke kede klaro
