Thank You,

Daniel Cobb DOM

So you think you’ve heard everything about these issues before. Think again. Show up to his lectures, ask questions, and bring friends. Tell him that Mary sent you. Most are amazed at the relatively easy changes in your diet and perspective that can dramatically change your life. Can’t show up? Call Daniel Cobb and ask for a consultation or a copy of his lecture notes.

Un related music video as a bonus:

This could be a long story, so let me find some music to go along with this.

How does this video relate to today’s topic? Well let’s start at the beginning. Late Friday night I receive a call giving me a blog topic: Hillary Clinton is coming to Espanola NM. SO I try a little to find some interst, and a ride. Work Saturday. No email or phone replies. SUnday I get up begining to plan a day, and keep thinking about the event. So I call a friend and say want to rent a car to go to Espanola? She says, “Sure!” So with some difficulty finding a car ro rent we end up going to the airport to get the car and we wonder why all the police cars: dah it was Hillary’s escort from the airport!

We head north and are making good time and run into rain. It has stopped by the time we arrive at Northern New Mexico University. The parking lot is very full. The walk extraordinarily far for two people with noticeable joint issues. I have Pat stop at the first guy and I ask, since we both need canes, if there is a way to park closer and he smiles and gives directions. As we get to the building, I hear that there are no more seats —and then someone tells a person in a wheel chair that there are a few seats near the front. A gentleman looks at us and asks if we need seat, and I say yes, and he says follow her! So we are escorted to the front of the auditorium and seated. We had a great view. We were honored and cared for. This is Northern New Mexico hospitality. People were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The house was packed, speakers had just begun to talk, and we were blessed with seats.

There was joy and excitement in the air, and all the democratic politicos. Well not all but many. Each introduced the next guy, praised Hillary, and said hello to local politicians famous. This si how we do it here one said. It is important to support the players who are running. The Governor, THe Senator, the Senator running, the new wanna be rep….you get the picture. Our Lt Govenor was a great moderator and crowd speller. She wove a weave that enchanted everyone.

Finally Hillary appeared. The lady behind me kept bellowing to her friend, “I came here to hear Hillary,” there’s one in every crowd. Cameras, Cell phones, and video cameras were active. For awhile, I thought several Old ladies thought they were at a concert as they remained standing when Hillary came on stage. Finally, they decided to sit down.

Hillary wore the same baby blue outfit, taylored, fiitting nicely, but reflecting like a half straight jacket. She needs a few fashion clues. She spoke energetically about community, about us working together to get the vote out, and then reviewing the principles shared by her and Obama. It was a great speech forus Hillary fans to transfer our support to the Great Obama. Afterall 18 million voters have supported her and still do. The time flew by. We were looking for a quick exit when we were informed by the Secret Service, that that exit was closed. Pat loved the attention a young agent gave her as we tried to return away from Hillary when most people were trying to greet her.

She was fantastic and inspirational. She shares an electrifying energy and connects well with her audience. She would scan the group making certain to discuss issue pertinent to them. She’s relaxed and know New Mexican style. Her art is masterful.

The violins convey the classical depth of conversation and experience. They also reveal my mother’s attitude of pretending to play when my father said the same old saaaaaame old…. did your Mom do that too? I heard this all before. These violins on the video demonstrate people coming together, at a grassroot level with life zest and interactive celebration! Ah we are all here having so many dynamic feelings and journeys to share. Hey vote for that young guy, wanna be Representative too: he’s now part of the team. We can all win in NM. Join the neighborhood group and work hard! All of us.

The rain, thunder, and lightening were pouring and flashing as we walked back to the car parked under the old and huge Cottonwood tree. I couldn’t keep up with Pat who discovered she could scuury faster with the cane. Not I. I did not mind the rain, only those who nearly pushed me into a ravine because I was a slow mover.

The rain became so severe that I insisted we pull off at a Casino, the first one we stopped at was overcrowded with a long line of cars, so i went back on the highway. Pat thought I was fooling until she realized we were at near flash flood conditions. We had a lovely dinner. I played briefly and lost.

The sun came back out and I drove through Tesquque where the roads were covered with dirt and rocks. We ventured up the mountain, up Artist Rd, past tenthousand waves and Hyde Park. Up higher into the Santa Fe National Park. A grand late afternoon carnival of colors and tones. Glistening with the freshness of the rain. We saw six or more lovely tall deer crossing the road and climbing up another summit. A rare treat on this road. We listened to the stream, enjoyed a lavender sunset that spanned from Albuqueruqe to north of Espanola. From clouds to mountains to the valley and plains below. As we drove to the Airport to retrieve my car, we suddenly enjoyed the full moon over western skyscape. Indigo darkening blue sky. All this because of Hillary. A grand and memorable day.

I’d love to go as I have never been able to make a Hillary event. Ah, but my car can’t get there from here, it’s a bit old and needs more work. Most of my friends aren’t political. However if you can go do! It’ll be fun and a great way to network. Plus all the politicos from Espanola might like to teach us a thing or two.

I am going to keep this one short. Bring food, have a picnic. There also are terrific restaurants to enjoy afterwards. Or stop at Gabriel’s on the way back. Buffalo Thunder has opened and is a big entertainment center, including a very big casino, or was that a very big bar?

So you could make a day of travel, politics, and fund merge along the highway to Espanola.

Obama himself is suppose to be arriving in NM too, perhaaps for a stop over with Bill Richardson, perhaps elsewhere…the papers did not know. Now if the man reaapears in Santa Fe, this time I may grab my cane and see if I actually could get into see him. Last ssspring it was a madhouse, and while I was at work, I didn’t really miss the backed up traffic literally for miles.

Gossip: Could my dream come true, could Hillary and Obama become running mates? Could Richardson be a VeeP? Either would make me VERY happy. All three converging here or abouts before the convention is not accidental. Keep your ears open. A few thousand Hillary fans wouldn’t hurt. Be there!

I heard him take a call and discovered that he is “loaning” the local Obama for America campaign a lot of computers, printers, cables, and basically whatever they need to operate more efficiently. He works with several non-profits as well. I am proud how he and many smaller businesses do their best to really support local projects. When I asked if I could have permission to blog about this he said, “Sure. However I have something else that really important to me. EWASTE.”
What followed was a long story of countries and companies complicit in a nightmarish tale. The drama is enough to make one sick.

I’ll try to keep this short. Awhile back, Steve took a consulting job with the US Post Office. They wanted to recycle their old scanners. As a good detective would do, he researched the normal story about EWASTE. What he learned was rather disappointing. Most of our waste is sold to companies in China. Many companies that claim to be earth friendly make more money and incur less expenses by selling to the Chinese. “Duh”, you may say, “so what else is new Mary? It’s a global economy right?”
When I go to recycle or do good for the earth, I seek a truely earth friendly venue.

Go visit a Chinese processing plant, and according to Steve, you’ll find children smashing monitors with sledge hammers. Children. Inside you monitor is a lead coating to reduce the radiation from the monitior to protect us. When the kids crash that monitor the lead is airborn. These children work long days, everyday, with thousands of monitors. They work in the dust. They breathe the dust. Look up the effects of lead poisioning. This is only one part of the story.

Steve did further research, and discovered that there are a few businesses in the United States that have safer technologies to reclaim the parts that can be recycable without posioning their workers. It costs more. They are monitiored and have earned the highest DOD and EPA clearances and licenses. The US Post Office went for the American companies. Encourage your community to learn about this.

In the meantime, Steve had to consider his own business. He also is concerned about educating others about these issues. First, he has created a local, at his business, recycling project. Remember this costs money. TO recycle a computer is $15, a monitor $6. Please verify the prices to make sure I am accurate. His customers often complain about the prices. I would have at first thought twice about it. However, he said he explained it to one guy this way,” You have your trash picked up, don’t you?” “Yes”, “The city charges you for trash pick-up don’t they?” “Yeah”. “Your electronics are your trash aren’t they?” “Yes.” So-o-o. It is better to become responsible citizens. It is necessary that we support our earth. Don’t forget those children.

Then I asked Steve, “What about the City of Santa Fe, the State of New Mexico?” He told me about research he has done and guess what? Some entities feel that they can pass on their guilt, responsibility, etc. to the next guy, and somehow become innocent. Sounds familiar, give our toxic waste to a management company and don’t pay attention to where they dispose of it. Hmmm, they dump it in landfills,rivers, on the side of the road….ever heard this song before. Guess what most of our EWASTE still goes to China. Picture those children again. They are just like the poor kids in our cities who are exposed to lots of toxic waste daily. They are like the Native Americans exposed to waste from uranium mining.

If anyone has time and energy, and perhaps a little political savvy to take on our local issues, join in. I’ll ask Steve for notes and names and addresses. Please contact me here. Work locally and change the world. These matters are our responsibility. If you are in Santa Fe, bring your stuff to Santa Fe Computer Works. If you have truckloads, bring friends to help sort parts safely. Call first for lots of stuff. You could also create a fund to help pay for workers, or pay fees to those who don’t have much $$$. Tell him I sent you. Reuse when possible. My computers may last me another 2-3 years!

In the meantime: organize.

Concerts Selling Out in First Week of 2008 Season

If you haven’t already ordered your tickets, act now!

The 36th season of the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival is off to a strong start – great music, great artists and capacity audiences! Several of Week One’s concerts were completely sold out, attesting to the popularity of this season’s programming and guest artists. Some tickets are still available for next week, so don’t hesitate – order your tickets now!

A sample of the phenomenal music offerings next week include:

The renowned Orion String Quartet performs their long- awaited for second installment of the Beethoven String Quartet Cycle on August 6th, 7th, 10th, and 11th. Last year’s concerts were completely sold out, so don’t miss this great quartet playing some of the sublime music ever written.

On Saturday, August 9th pianist Benjamin Hochman performs Bach’s Goldberg Variations.

In addition to Bach and Beethoven, you can also participate in three world premieres. The premiere of Musical America’s 2008 Composer of the Year, Kaija Saariaho’s Festival Co-Commission, Serenatas, will be played by the celebrated ensemble Real Quiet on August 3rd, 4th and 6th. Don’t miss this – the composer allows the musicians to choose the performance order of the movements – each of the three performances could be completely different!

The premiere of Huang Ruo’s Festival Commission, Real Loud, also performed by Real Quiet is on August 6th.

August 5th features the world premiere of Festival artistic director and composer/pianist Marc Neikrug’s Piece for Pro Piano Hamburg Steinway Model D & Marimba One, performed by Mr. Neikrug and Drew Lang playing a huge, five-octave marimba.

Of course, there’s much more – call, go online or stop by the box office for more details. See you next week!

To order your tickets, please call 505.982.1890 or visit www.santafechambermusic.com.

Don’t miss out, this is an incredible season. Both concerts I have attended were packed and really exciting! Plus being downtown on the plaza in the early evening is really romantically marvelous. It’s Santa Fe Charm that has a way of catching you off guard even after years of living here. Last night, after the concert, we listened to another concert on the plaza by Po Girl. We then went to Ortega’s for appetizer and two musicians from the Hoo Doo’s were playing. We went to LA Fonda for a biger bite to eat and presto Bill Hearne a famous fellow from here was playing. AS we left the restaurant to go home, a latin band was playing music on the sidewalk. Bravo!

A cool breeze, the starry night, surrounded by beauty. Ahhh! Get some chamber music tickets and go deep into the profound soul of mystical music. It’s your chance now to catch these amazing shows!

August 8: Unruly Data Makes for a Bad Hair Day
Traditional structured database tools are limiting because they require pre-defined structures and fields. Chris Feola, president of xextPression and named one of the 50 most influential people in new media by Online Journalism Review, describes the ins-and-outs of information overload in the computer culture. In particular, he will discuss imposing order of data to extract meaningful information from it. Light refreshments will be provided. Admission is free but donations to defray costs are appreciated. More information is available here.

Come Visit Us

Santa Fe Complex is located next to the Railyard Art District and within walking distance of the hotels, restaurants and shops at the plaza downtown. We’re housed in two facilities, the conference area at 624 Agua Fria and the project space at 632 Agua Fria.

The conference area contains meeting rooms and facilities for short-term use associated with on-going complex projects. The project space houses the great room, where we hold events and offer working facilities for laptop users, coffee lounge and work carrels.

While there is parking at 624 Agua Fria, the Romero Street parking lot is more conveniently located for the 632 facility. Romero St. is an old-style Santa Fe ox-cart road just east of the 624 driveway. Follow it until it opens up to two lanes and turn hard right into the parking lot for 632.

Here’s a map to our location, a representative shot showing the Railyard District and a sketchup drawing of the facility at 632. For more information, call 505/216.7562 or click here.

NM Short Film wins Best of Show in Utah
Things We Do For Love won the Best of Show Grand Jury prize as well as Audience Favorite awards at the 2008 Fear No Film Festival in Salt Lake City. The short film was written and directed by NM filmmaker Don Gray and was shot in conjunction with the NM Film Technician Training Program at Northern New Mexico Community College in El Rito. It is about how far one family is willing to go to show their love for one another. Set in a small town in Northern New Mexico - coffins, fresh graves and a parade of odd funerals provide the backdrop for the story. The film was shot over five days in El Rito, Ojo Caliente and Abiquiu.

I hope you are all having a great 4th of July. I will try to back in a few minutes with some other news.

Dedicated to the planet earth, where some suggests that humans are stewards for the planet’s well being. Here is a call for Americans to unite, and once again change the world for good, health, freedom, and harmony.

Yes listen to several versions:

“I once was lost, but now I am found….”

“I was once blind, but now I see….”

Now that I see, I can alter my ways, and help others realize our mutual response ability.

Let us sing together and work together to cherish our planet, our country, and one another. Let us work together for the healing of our mother earth.

Do go see this movie on a DVD. On the near of July 4, when the country will rise up and celebrate the birth of our nation, with dance, pancake breakfasts, music festivals, and fireworks, how many will reflect on the history of economics, commerce, wars, and our most recently denied challenge: global warming.

In the movie, Mr Wiberforce took on an overwhelming challenge and experienced many defeats. Yet, with the help of a woman, he regained his health and returned to his mission where he in a fine strategic move used a political ploy to put an end to slavery for the British empire. He also awakened a people’s sense of morality.

In these days the concept of morality seldom rises to challenge commerce running destructively wild on a rampage destined for destruction. Errant wars divert the people’s conscience so that powers to be can ignore our plant’s health, our elder’s medical care, among multiple other human issues.

What is America’s sense of morality where oil is concerned. In the USA, government and industry lunge forward gasping for more drilling, more nuclear power plants, more coal plants, hoping that their desperation will garnish more power, pollution, and control. Perhaps as stated in the movie, “the King is Mad…and the corporations crazy.

Industry, as in the movie, has lost all moral consciousness. Humans matter not, nor does the planet that sustains us. All too many good people are trapped in the guise of profit and need. I dare note if we combined 20% of the oil companies massive profit, and 40% of our militaries bomb budget, we could convert to alternate fuel and energy sources. Plus there would be plenty of new homegrown USA jobs for American workers. Alas morality and responsibility are values not in vogue by many these days.

Perhaps this fourth of July, we need to look deeply at our roots. Remember what America used to be. Commit ourselves to rid ourselves of an oppressive regime, and scandoulous and racketeerring commerce. Perhaps we need to stand united and find real solutions to our energy needs, and our planet’s health. Perhaps, even take responsibilty for taking care of the earth.

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.

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:

https://pol.moveon.org/give/3greatwomen.html?id=12976-4495224-boo_xix&t=5

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

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.

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.

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.
