Ring . . .

. . . in the new . . . 


(from "Ring Out, Wild Bells" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson)
". . . Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more,
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.

Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws. . ."



Ring with us, OHO at 
The "Pre-New Year" Party
4:00PM til 7:00PM
Coastal Highway & 116th Street
Ocean City, MD 21842

Words . . .


Us:  ". . . here's a short, fun one from the next OHO album (Male Pattern Radness). Begun in 1994 at Steve's, inspired by Joseph Campbell and the movie, The Witches of Eastwick...finalized at Bill's. . ."

Them:  ". . . I get a very close Frankincense olfactory reaction….:). . .

Us:  ". . . (we'll)  interpret this as being a favorable response. . ."

Them:  ". . . I do like it, but wonder if this mix doesn't try a little too hard. . . Yes! A favorable response! Frankincense has an aroma that calls attention to itself. It demands your attention and can not be ignored. Accordingly, this song is very much "in your face.

From Wikip: "Boswellia sacra trees are considered unusual for their ability to grow in environments so unforgiving that they sometimes grow out of solid rock. Frankincense is derived from these trees." That, my friend, is determination!. . ."

Us:  ". . . Thanks. . ."

Sub . . .

 . . . other than sandwich . . .


(from http://www.calmdownmind.com/subconscious-mind-and-your-reality/)
". . . A human brain works on “thought patterns”, which are nothing but “programming” that has been indented into its neural network. . .The problem with subconscious patterns, is that you take it for granted and believe that it’s the truth of who you are. However, the truth is that “subconscious” patterns are simply thought patterns that have been thought so many times that they’ve become ingrained as an “auto” mode of functioning. . . When you think a thought long enough, it automatically goes into “auto” mode because the neural pathways for this thought become strongly embedded in the neural network of your brain. . . A simple awareness of the subconscious negative patterns is enough to start becoming free of them. . . every subconscious thought was once a “new thought” that you ingrained and believed. . ."

Not Too Shabby . . .

. . . a wish . . .

(from HTTP://THEOTHERCLOSET-ATHEISM.BLOGSPOT.COM/2009/12/19-ATHEISTS-CHRISTMAS-PRAYER.HTML)
This Christmas, I pray that the struggle over the “true meaning” of the holiday is wiped away, replaced by the desire to honor what Christmas means to you and not to your neighbors.
I pray that we as a nation can learn to put aside the party lines and shields of segregation to leave the world better than we found it.
I pray that we as a race can learn to prosper without greed, without indifference.
I pray that the good times outweigh the bad, and that we enter the lives of those we are lucky enough to encounter with the grace and respect that everyone deserves, regardless of their status, regardless of our creed.
I pray we wake up one day with the recognition that – black or white, rich or poor, religious or not – we all want the same things, even if we disagree on how best to achieve them.
I pray that those who need shelter will find it.
I pray that those in pain will find an end to suffering.
I pray for peace.
I pray for hope.
Most of all, I pray that tomorrow will be better than it was today.
For all of us.

Food . . .


(thanks to http://gmwatch.org/index.php/news/archive/2015-articles/16183-monsanto-wants-to-move-to-switzerland-why-is-obama-doing-it-favours from May 2015)
A public interest attorney and author has challenged Monsanto to find any inaccuracies in his new book on the risks of GM (genetically modified) foods and the deceit used in marketing them to world markets. If they don't,  the logical conclusion is that their products risky and should be banned.  The book (by Steven Druker) is titled “Altered Genes, Twisted Truth: How the Venture to Genetically Engineer Our Food Has Subverted Science, Corrupted Government, and Systematically Deceived the Public”.

(thanks to http://www.globalresearch.ca/altered-genes-twisted-truth-monsantos-silence-is-deafening/5469745)
And the response Steven Druker received from Monsanto was . . . Silence! Maybe Monsanto hopes that by ignoring Druker, he and his book will quickly fade from public memory. They have, however or late, been quite busy fighting lawsuits, trying to influence legislation by pouring money into campaigns, attacking critics, infiltrating public bodies, pouring more money into its PR spin machine, funding ‘travel expenses’ for pro-GM scientists, lobbying the EU to try to get GMOs into Europe, mounting a campaign against WHO-associated scientists, fighting a rear-guard action in Argentina, managing its profits courtesy of the massive subsidies given to US farmers, working with the Gates Foundation to uproot indigenous agriculture in Africa or cementing its grip in Ukraine on the back of the US-led coup there.

(and thanks to http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/sign/obama_signs_monsanto_protection_ act_time_to_label_gmos/) Remember,t President Barack Obama signed H.R. 933, which contained the Monsanto Protection Act, into law.  The President knowingly signed the act over the urgent pleas from over 250,000 Americans who asked that he veto it.  But alas, he failed to live up to his oath to protect the American people and our constitution . . . and very few Obama fans, or critics for that matter (who find it more compelling to question his place of birth) now seem to remember. . .
