REVEREND PEYTON’S BIG DAMN BAND
“Like Robert Johnson on crack……”
The three-piece from Indianapolis kills with a high-energy sound steeped in classic Blues tradition. With acoustic guitar, dobro, a minimal drum kit and washboard, the trio concocts a rousing, hyper and authentic brand of Blues that sounds like the backwaters of the Mississippi delta. The Rev. Peyton has a voice dripping with the hallowed, life-worn distinctiveness of the masters, while brother Jayme Peyton (drums) and The Rev’s wife, “Washboard” Breezy, stir up a tornadic rhythmic whirl.

This week the FTC, Federal Trade Commission the Big Brother Watching US group, made one person shut down his site because he included information on used of herbs. Now he is sueing them for denying his first amendment freddom of speech. (Bravo!)
As a writer, I believe that we need to make a stand for free speech. Please read on….

29 Healing Herbs: Some of my favorites.
This could be illegal….watch out!!!
Before I write about 29 of my favorite HEALING herbs, if you are someone who know about the FTC case against the Internet Marketer,see if his lawyer would like others to join the case to make a class action suit.
I googled healing herbs and came up with 827,000 listings. So then I googled healing herbs us sites and got about 425,000 for us sites.
The guy who got hit was actually referring to US Federal Publications, available to anyone about HEALIBG HERBS. So I ask you, why does the US government want to prevent Americans from learning about docuements that they have previously approved for publication about health and Herbs?
I won’t go into that discussion now. A couple of thousand years ago, a knowledgeable Jewish man proclaimed, “Heal Yourself!” His name was Jesus and it might be curious to see how often he told us to do that. Check the Bible.
Although he was referring to the power of the holy spirit or God to heal us, if you also check the Bible, you could probably find many references to herbs that were used for healing. Your government, if you are a US citizen, doesn’t want you to print or publish this information.
Seems like censorship to me.
So here is your list of my favorite 29 healing herbs.
Yes they are all healing herbs. Yes it would be best to consult herbalists, naturpathic doctors, some of the 425,000 websites, and books to learn more about these fairly common herbs. Most of these may be found in your backyard, or kitchen cupboard. All but a few can be found and are commonly grown in North America.
I am using this as an example. If I were to make claims about their use, suggest what they could do, or apparently publish a reference sheet from where I got this information the FTC could make a lot of threats to me, possibly levy fines, and in some states in the USA lock me up (in prison).
Please share this information, and I think if all internet marketers rallied to support freedom of speech or the guy who got shut down, we could have a real good case.
When we don’t make a stand, it’s just that much easier for us to lose what we think is ours.
29: Yep they can all be used for healing many discomforts. Add your thoughts please.

Wednesday, June 25
6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
632 Agua Fria St.
Blenders are a Wednesday night feature at Santa Fe Complex, located at 632 Agua Fria St. Entrance is on Romero St. Admission is free. Light refreshments will be served; donations to defray their costs are welcome. Click here for directions.
Santa Fe, NM - June 25, 2008 - Santa Fe has the great good fortune of hosting three pioneers in holography: Rebecca Deem, Fred Unterseher, and August Muth. They will join Wednesday’s Blender at Santa Fe Complex to discuss their work, some of which is on display at the complex. The speakers will limit their formal presentations to 15 minutes each, leaving time for contributions from the audience and lots of discussion.
These three artists, innovators and technologists pzarticipated in the grand opening of Santa Fe Complex on June 14. They will be speaking on their pieces from that show and other topics in holography tonight from 6 to 8 PM.
About the Speakers
Rebecca Deem: Rebecca first saw holograms at an art gallery in 1970 while completing an Art supervision degree. In 1988, she received the Shearwater Foundation Art Holography Award. In 1995 with partner Fred Unterseher, she co-founded Zone Holografix Studios, an art and teaching studio with a pulse laser lab. She continues to exhibit artwork, teach and write for electronic and print publications.
Fred Unterseher: Fred graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in the early 70’s. He worked on the cooperative projects Artaud, The Emeryville Artists Coop., ANT FARM (the art/media collective famous for Cadillac Ranch). He co-founded the San Francisco School of Holography with Lloyd Cross and Gerry Pethick. He conceived and co-authored the HOLOGRAPHY HANDBOOK, A Practical Guide to Holography in 1987. He was Director of Education at the Museum of Holography, New York, New York. He was a member of the team that created the first pulsed laser portrait of a president (Ronald Reagan)in 1989. In 1995 he co-founded Holografix Studios with Rebecca Deem. He is a consultant for NASA and JPL on 3-D imaging systems and until recently taught at the Brooks Institute of Photography & Pasadena City College.
August Muth: August was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico and his early years in the vast landscape and dry climate of the high desert and mountains gave him the opportunity to develop a true appreciation for the elegance of light. After three years of studying art and physics at the university level in the southwest, August moved to New York City to pursue his studies and visions within the world of art there. In 1983, after viewing his first hologram, he realized he had discovered a direct path to a deeper understanding of the force of light. In 1984 and l985, he developed his holography skills at the Museum of Holography in N.Y.C. under the direction of Fred Untersher, a pioneer and early innovator in holography.
Since 1986, he has specialized in the field of “reflection dichromated gelatin holography”. This type of holography is unsurpassed in its clarity and superior quality. His progress in developing and refining processes and techniques in this demanding technology have allowed him to manipulate light into various beautiful and subtle forms. His most recent works include the lamination of optical glass and creation of holograms in multiple layers. He calls this current body of work “Time Capsules”, a reference to light as being the vehicle of time.
What Is Holography?
Holography (from the Greek, όλος-hòlòs whole + γραφή-grafè writing, drawing) is the science of producing holograms. It is a technique that allows the light scattered from an object to be recorded and later reconstructed so that it appears as if the object is in the same position relative to the recording medium as it was when recorded. The image changes as the position and orientation of the viewing system changes in exactly the same way is if the object were still present. Holograms can also be made using other types of waves. (See: Wikipedia.)

We are a community studio creating connections in science, technology and art. Our roots lie in the rich cultural, scientific and artistic traditions of northern New Mexico; our vision is a world where technology supports a renaissance in art and science that opens our minds and hearts to our full human potential.

I did not know that some new faces and excellent candidates are running for the Senate. Even if these fine women are not from your state, spread the word, and support their campaigns. Send $1.00 a week to as much as you can now. If we can’t have a woman for President, lets fill as many seats as possible in the meantime. Somebody has to stand up for us the working person.

Here’s a dynamic chance to build a new power base.
Guys this means you too…look at these candidates.
Dear MoveOn member, (Go to www.squidoo.com/makinart)
Health care is an issue that is really close to my heart. And I know it matters to a lot of Americans, particularly mothers. But time and again, Republicans have blocked progress on expanding health care-most recently the expansion of the children’s health insurance program-and on so many other important issues.
That’s why we need to elect more progressive women in Congress in 2008, to stand with President Obama on healthcare and other key issues.
MoveOn is working with EMILY’s List to highlight some great candidates like Kay Hagan, a legislator in my home state of North Carolina who is running for U.S. Senate. It is a race that the pundits and politicos had previously ignored, but no longer: Last week the Washington Post rated it as one of the most winnable Senate races for Democrats in the country.1
With a critical deadline for candidate fund-raising next Monday, can you help support Kay Hagan and other strong Democratic women like Jeanne Shaheen and Rep. Carol Shea-Porter from New Hampshire? All three women are running in key battleground states, and the voters they bring to the polls will also help us take the White House. Click here to chip in $25 to their campaigns today:
EMILY’s List supports pro-choice Democratic women for office. The organization is a great ally and is supporting these and other strong progressive candidates.
Here’s more detail on each of these spectacular women:
After five terms in the North Carolina State Senate, Kay Hagan is ready to move on to the US Senate. But first, she has to beat Sen. Elizabeth Dole this fall. Hagan has led the fight for children’s healthcare in our home state. In the US Senate, Kay wants to tackle climate change and high gas prices. Her opponent, Elizabeth Dole, has a $3 million war chest, and Hagan is going to need every penny she can raise in order to beat her and change this seat from one that consistently votes conservatively to one that consistently votes progressively.
When Kay wins, we will be that much closer to building a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. And the odds are in our favor: Republicans are defending 23 seats in competitive races-almost two-thirds of the races up for grabs-which means we’ll have an edge as we attempt to build a progressive majority.
We need Jeanne Shaheen to represent New Hampshire-and all of us-in the United States Senate too. Jeanne is the former Governor of New Hampshire; in fact she was the first woman ever elected to that office. Now she wants to blaze the trail again and become the first-ever woman elected senator from the state. The only thing standing in her way is incumbent Republican senator, John Sununu. Jeanne will be a fantastic senator, but we have to get her elected first.
Finally, there is the incredible Representative Carol Shea-Porter of New Hampshire, the best example I know of the kind of women we can elect if we work together from the grassroots. When she was still in high school a counselor told Carol she should forget about trying to make it to college and enroll in secretarial school.2
Instead, she became the first woman ever elected to Congress from New Hampshire in 2006, handily beating a Republican incumbent who was seen as invincible. During her short time in Congress, Shea-Porter has been a vocal opponent to the war in Iraq. This is her first reelection campaign, and she’s in a tough race. But Carol Shea-Porter has more than earned our support-we need to keep her in Congress.
Not only can you help make sure each of these women wins in her race, but you will also be helping to turn out more votes in important presidential battleground states. Can you chip in $25 to help elect these three women, each of whom can help us lead the House and Senate in a progressive direction? Click here to donate:
Today, out of 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives, there are only seventy-one women. And only sixteen out of one hundred members of the Senate are women. 3 When will our voices be heard? They will be heard when we act together to get progressive women elected. With your help we can make sure that these progressive women’s voices are heard in Washington this fall, voices that will speak out against the war and for health care and other progressive priorities.
Thank you.
-Elizabeth Edwards

I will begin with 15 words of gratitude. WHy? Friends who do a lot of pyschological and metaphysical research remind me that writing down gratitudes improves health, attitude, and brain function. Secondly it makes me feel good and reminds myself of a generous universe and our higher power.
Thank you for the rain. Thanks for the lady customer who met me at the Post Office and helped me re-align my perspective of my day. Thanks for supplements that can bring a aching and inflammed knee to practically no pain. Thanks for the time to walk barefoot in my yard and water those new plants I got yesterday. (It was a very short and windy rain). Thanks for the eggplant seedling that was left for dead at the store and who now is growing again. I just discoverd it actually is two plants. Thanks for sales on stuff I want. Thanks for the cooler weather between very hot days. Mornings have been refreshing, and the evening cool down some too. Thanks for the natural gentle breeze that visit my bedroom every night all summer long. No need for a fan!
Thanks for friends. Thanks for the lunch out yesterday. Thanks for the swim tomorrow. Thanks for new streams of income. Thanks for being able to pay bills. Thanks for being able to give stuff to Pat. Thanks for the free children’s books that I gave to the neighbor for her younger nephew. Thanks for time to write. Thanks for this blog. Thank you readers.
You may have noticed that I mentioned lots of littler things. I am thankful for my old car that keeps running. Small things fill our day. The more we can enjoy the events, like the light framed my a wooden frame old window gazing upon adobe building with tree shadow dancing.
That moment alone in the Anazi Inn, waiting for a friend to arrive, where the cool air and elegant decor erased the heat wave blasting. That moment where my eyes drew a masterpiece, timeless with adobe whisphering old stories about wanderers from the past. Santa Fe always filled with travellers who accidentally sip the magic of this transcendental place. Awakened some even rest rom the hustle and bustle of trade. Light through the window, and an old adobe wall: the same and always changing. My fingers ached to draw. I gave a prayer of thanksgiving. I felt humbled to be witness to moment now and eternal.
Lunch was good too. A few blogs ago, I wrote about the lady who loved horses. In Santa Fe people are occassionally inducted as our living treasures for the noteworthy days contributed over many years to our community. I think horses are living treasures too. Along with rusty orange irises that bloom after all the others have passed. Enjoy these picturesfrom Cynthia Decosta’s ranch. Also go read the earlier blog about her thoughts and her ranch.
Look up Santa Fe Living treasures and meet the wonderful people who have and many still do weave the town’s culture and lore.
As I have a lot more to catch up on, I’ll leave you sitting upon the plaza listening to the summer music in the fresh evening air. A liitle rain will make the aroma fill your lungs with joy. Clear out your calendar too, as the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival is about to Begin. Come one and come all. The Santa Fe Opera will have the city on fire and fairly crowded too. People from all over the world travel here for opera each year. Give yourself time for an early dinner or fine wine afterwards with some…and if you come to this neck of the woods and want some personal guide ideas….write me here so that we may connect.
This was perfect timing! I just came in from a long planting session. After two friends took me to lunch, and then I did an errand for me and a friend at Natutral Grocers, I went plant shopping. Home Depot had some flowers on sale. Hence I expanded my purchase 4 fold but only spent twice as much. As I had lost several plants these last few weeks wind and heat may have been the culprit, though I am not sure, I sought out some replacements and some new varieties. Home depot had some of each, and a better selection than recent visits.
I got done planting about 10:10 PM. The wind managed to blow away two sets of rain clouds this evening. I had hoped that these new plants would get their beloved ioned rainfall. So When the stars replaced the clouds, I took my trusty hose and watered away.
Chuck Bartok may not be growing tomatoes in NM, but he has a long history of growing tomatoes. His video is fun and has many parts. It is really worth watching, and tell your friends. I have four tomatoe plants. Two are tall organic golden cherry or maybe plum tomatoes. One has 2 small oval shaped fruits. The other two smaller plant are some variety of red tomato. Maybe a big boy. My production hasn’t ever come near to Chuck’s production.
Check out the video. Your plants will thank you. He has lots of good tips.
OK, I’ve wimped out. I had a lovely swim, a sauna, an air conditioned feldenkrais class, an ice cream bar, an air conditioned supper ala restaurante, and a rest in my hammock with a cool breeze on the porch as the sun went down. However, my office still reeks with heat and I am sweating so I have a travelling damp t-shirt which I place on hot spots, and I have thurned on the air conditioner. It’s 10 PM MST. Though the reading glasses still slip down my nose and the fruit stix has cooled my palate, the room is feeling more manageable.
I will keep this short tonight. Perhaps I will wake up early and write more: the garden won this morning. I’m encouraging plants to survive, especially the tomatoes and squash. The large gray thunder clouds managed to duck out somewhere else, but the radio suggest they will return starting an early monsoon season. Nothing like real rain to nuture a garden properly.
A few weeks back on a Sunday afternoon, I took a drive after brunch at Harry’s Roadhouse Restaurant on Las Vegas Highway off Old Pecos Trail and St Michaels. The goal was to do some photography. I took dirt roads that I’ve seldom visited. I found an rancch where there were horses and a place to pull off the road. This is the kind of road if you stop the next vehicle coming stops to see if you need help. Course being a gray haired type now, I might generate a little more concern. As I was trying to shoot some pics, the owener Cynthia DeCosta, drives up in her pickup and we begin to chat. She graciously encouraged me to take pictures and I invited her to say a few words about her work.
Dear Mary,
I met you several weeks ago while you were taking pictures of my horses. You mentioned you were a blogger and suggested I write you a few sentences describing what it is I do with horses. I am sorry it has taken this long to get something to you, but here it is - I am a psychotherapist now focusing my understanding of psychology on horses. Each horse, like each person, has a unique personality. When one comes to understand and respect a horse’s individual way of being, one can join in an easy and harmonious partnership with the horse and achieve excellence physically, mentally and emotionally for the horse and human alike.
Working with horses has truly changed me on so many levels and they challenge and compel me to be the best person I can be.
My pictures did not come out great, but I did meet a fine four year old who was very curious and friendly. Horses are a fine emblem of the west. Though in remote areas a few wild horses still abide, the wide open range with lots of horses has diminished greatly. Cynthia’s ranch is tucked away off the beaten path, where few might venture, although it is only minutes outside town. She does offer lessons and more. She loves her friends and keeps very busy providing them a loving home. So if you do wander into the city different and want to learn more or connect with Ms. C. DeCosta, call me or write me here, and I can arrange a connect for you. Something is not working. I can’t upload my horese pics. I’ll try again later.
It’s a very hot night here in the office. However the outside night air is cool and windy. After a long day working, I had to go over and pull weeds at one of my PT gigs. Just before sunset, a cool wind arrived, making one believe in the chance of rain. The wind grew in force and clouds soon zoomed of around the mountain. I did enjoy the moon rise to my left, and the sunset to my right. I also love working with the land albiet a commerical zone location. The cool evening air helped a lot too.
Aching a bit, I returned home, stood and stred at another mess of weeds, all my own. So I did some more work, a relatively small section and watched the moon through drifting clouds, and a tall tree. Both my cats came out to visit, and once my black cat, Jasper, sitting on the stairs railing, was caught gazing at the nearly full moon. I never witnessed her do that before.

Also had a long talk with my mother tonight. Heard stories about my Dad’s last years. SOme change now years long past. What touched me most was how my 89 yr old Mom’s voice changed and softened as she shared her memories. Her long and longing for him freely lingered across the lines. These were sounds seldom heard during his time here, yet encapsuled deep feelings she not to express to me then. This Father’s day, let your emotions flow as much as Dad can take. One never knows when he won’t be near to see your loving eyes or hear them. Happy Father’s Day to all Dads!

Ever feel like to need to become a mediator to have a clear communication. I certainly have lost some of my expertise over the years. Someone said Mecury is in Retrograde and I think that they are right! I being somewhat foolish, try to keep a fair heartfelt approach: not so good tonight. I also still proceed ahead, and will have a very busy tomorrow. Ah something good just happened: I didn’t lose this blog when I hit something odd….also after a busy day I love getting a press release like this.

Dry heat is usally easier to tolerate for me, but tonight I just fizzled and chose to watch two DVD’s and drink cold water. All this means is that I’ll have to be up early tomorrow AM to work on a job…..outside.

An Uncharted Outposts
CANADIAN BEARS & RIVERS ADVENTURE
Sandy and Charles Cunningham of Uncharted Outposts have generously donated a Canadian Bears & Rivers Adventure for two at the upscale and luxurious Lodge at Chilko Lake. Located in the heart of British Columbia (B.C.), one hour north of Vancouver, the Lodge at Chilko Lake is situated at the north end of Ts’yl-os Provincial Park. Overlooking Chilko Lake and the headwaters of the Chilko River, the Lodge is a wilderness escape.
During the seven night stay, the winning bidders will enjoy a multitude of unforgettable experiences. Considered one of B.C.’s finest fly fishing rivers, the Chilko is an unsurpassed fishing destination. If hiking is your passion, you can explore a variety of trails in or out of the park. Mountain biking is also available. A fleet of double and single kayaks will be a great way to spend any part of your day. Horse riding and rafting are also activities to enjoy!
The main lodge has an inviting deck, dining room, wireless Internet and a big screen television. The ground floor has a bar, games room and fire pit area.
