To go in for a sensation But receiving an unexpected kiss
Tenderness, to the utmost extremity And the smell of all this...
perfection And I open my eyes, slowly and even slower Like a
feeling of the sexual kind The colors are the same as petals
surrounding a soft peach In and out I go for this sensation
Breathing harder every time Time slows for this moment for
everything else seems unimportant For tis my first time, smelling a
flower
Maynard, lead singer of the band Tool and accompanying artists from A Perfect Circle form the band known as Puscifer. THEY ROCKED THE HOUSE at the Gusman theater in Miami, FL on Tuesday, June 12th. It was an amazing and intimate show, very interesting set up. The lovely and talented Carina Round opened the show with her amazing voice, so beautiful and powerful, chilling really. She actually gave me goose bumps hitting her high notes. Truly unique and quite the comedian! She stopped between sets to say a few words to the audience.
"Mmmm triple moca late" she said as she reached down to sip from her plastic, non earth friendly cup. Then a long pause..... "With whiskey in it!"
She gave us a few loud belches in the mic after sipping in between sets. Crude yet still adorable!
She also asked the audience to sing along with one of her songs and gave us instruction demonstrating humming the tune. Can't remember the exact song at the moment but I do remember she said....
"Tampa sucked a bag of dicks, a bag of tiny dicks" as they were not too receptive and a weak audience.
Carina kicked ass in her Red 50's style dress and pink heels! Loved it! She also joined in singing along with Maynard when it came time for the grand show, PUSCIFER! Maynard was incredible and nearly drowned Carina out with his powerful vocals in some of the songs, truly amazing live performance! Before the Puscifer show began we watched a comic short featuring Maynard in disguise as a hillbilly along with other hillbilly casts... perhaps the band members, not recognized. The theme was Arizona border patrol and American stupidity. One the screen saver, after the comic short, the display phrase was Arizona border patrol, "We put the panic in Hispanic!"
Maynard wore a hillbilly getup for his performance, long coat, cowboy hat and shades. He also set up the entire stage by dragging out a portable camper trailer and with the help of Carina, set up some fold out camping tables, chairs and bbq grill with fake blowing flames. The also had a life size cut out of a hillybilly red neck and a Pocahontas Indian looking woman. Maynard talked about human nature from the beginning of time and had some interesting deep comments which is hard for me to remember as quoted. There was NO recording, camera's or cell phones allowed, strictly enforced as usual with Maynard! Maynard opened a couple bottles of his wine (he has his own wine company), surely it was his own brand, and poured some for himself and his band mates.
They began to play and ROCKED IT! Colorful flashing lights and a trippy digital backdrop illuminated the stage. Carina danced tribal like squatting down low with arms waiving in the air and kicking up her leg a few times like a METAL cheerleader when singing into the mic. Maynard did his trippy dance thing as well and the other band members rocked out. Bad ass drummer I must say.... had me slapping on my legs along with the beat. The entire band kicked ass! I'd definitely see them again and highly recommend to all!
PS. Sorry for any typo's, etc. and lack of info... It's after midnight now and I'm sleepy! GOOD NIGHT WISCONSIN!
To protect hibernating bats
from white-nose syndrome, the fast-moving fungal disease that has killed
nearly 7 million bats in the eastern United States, the U.S. Forest
Service has kept caves closed in the Rocky Mountain Region for two
years to all but the most essential human access. Now, with the
policy up for renewal, the Forest Service is considering weakening
protections for bats, increasing the risk of cave visitors bringing the
disease into the caves.
Nationwide the loss of bats could mean exploding populations
of insects no longer kept in check by these furry, fly-by-night
mammals. Scientists have estimated that by keeping insect pests at bay
and reducing the need for pesticides, bats are worth $22 billion
annually to American farmers. In Colorado, these savings could reach
$430 million per year; in South Dakota, $1.1 billion.
While bats are dying at rates topping 90 percent in some
areas, and some species could face extinction, the risk to western bats
and farmers is too great to justify easing restrictions for
discretionary cave uses like recreation.
Please take action today to
send a message to the Forest Service and express your support for
maintaining the current, responsible management policy.

Shell Oil has done it again. The oil giant just filed another
lawsuit against the Center for Biological Diversity and 13 other
environmental groups who are trying to protect the Arctic from dangerous
drilling.
I wanted you to hear it from us first -- and know what we're doing about
it.
The Center's blocked every offshore drilling proposal in the Arctic
since 2007. Shell knows we're effective, so it's trying to take us
out with another preemptive attack.
But we're not going to be scared off by outrageous lawsuits.
We're fighting on every front to stop Shell's plans to drill in the
Arctic this summer.
In fact we just filed a legal challenge against air permits that would
allow the company to do just that.
The pristine Arctic -- home to polar bears, walruses and seals -- is
too fragile to turn into an oil-drilling industrial zone with pollution,
oil spills and lasting devastation.
But Shell is determined to drill. Its latest lawsuit targets our work
to enforce laws protecting marine mammals like whales and seals from
the devastating impacts of sound from drilling.
In its first suit, the oil giant is also trying to get us to pay its
legal fees, which will likely run into the hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
We won't be bullied by Shell. The Arctic is just too important to
hand over to oil companies.
Thank you for standing with us to fight these obnoxious intimidation
lawsuits. The Center will stay in this fight for as long as it takes to
keep the Arctic, and all its wild inhabitants, alive.
We'll keep you updated as we move ahead to protect the Arctic and fight
off Shell's suits against the Center and our allies.
Thanks for standing with us.
Kierán Suckling
Executive Director
Center for Biological Diversity
P.S. The
Center's been fighting to protect the Arctic and its incredible
wildlife for more than a decade. You can read on our website about what we're doing now to
stop the Far North from being destroyed.
Freshwater
turtles are facing more and more devastating overharvest in the United
States for sale to the pet industry and food and medicinal markets in
Asia. Beautiful map turtles are already endangered, and unregulated
international trade is rapidly destroying them and other native turtles.
Protection under the Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species would put limits on international trade and monitor
their populations.
In response to a petition filed by the Center for Biological
Diversity, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently announced
that it may propose 17 species of U.S. freshwater turtles for CITES
protection at the next meeting in Thailand. The agency has invited
the public to comment on which species should be listed.
Please take action now to tell
the Service to protect U.S. freshwater turtles from falling victim to an
insatiable international market.
