Introducing: Treazon
Tuberose stems unveil toxic wintergreen; narcotic blossoms stare at death across the street.
Nightfall. Window screens.
Treazon is tuberose at its darkest and most dangerous moment – right after dark.
From than on, the seemingly innocent little white flowers’ aroma is so intoxicating,
that young ladies were prohibited from walking through tuberose fields, from fear that
their decency will be betrayed, and their innocence defeated by lust.

We found the knife sticking in Elspeth’s ribs.
Well … there was no knife. As for Elspeth ...
It was a bright and glorious day. Maybe a cloud. Some kind of sultry wind. A few birds plaguing the air with song.
Erika came out of the bathhouse in her pink bikini. She glowed with robust good health and a total disregard for the standards of decency.
Rafe, who fainted more often than was advisable for an airline pilot, threw his towel down next to Audrey, who’d thrown her towel down next to Joseph, who was putting lotion on Clio’s back. Clio was reading War and Peace. Everyone felt faint knowing they were going to have to listen to Clio mispronounce all those Russian names. Supper would be a very long ordeal.
Archie had forgotten his towel so he used Samantha’s beach jacket, which got Cyril really hot, although not as hot as Samantha because the sun was now boiling in the sky— radishes were growing everywhere on the beach towels. It was a kind of heat I remember from those days I keep trying to forget.
So here’s what happened next: Claude, whom no one liked but everyone was afraid of, came running out of the house with a gun and fell on Rafe’s neck with the thing and started sawing away at Rafe when the bell rang indicating time for our TV shows. After the shows, someone named Elspeth was lying in a pool of substance that looked like blackberry juice but was probably blood. It got very quiet. Then it got noisy.
Most of us wouldn’t have liked Elspeth anyway—even if we’d known her.

WAY TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GAME, GOODELL!!!
Wow... any fan of professional football who witnessed the debacle on MNF last night should be ready and willing to take up the pitchfork and torch, and storm the office of one Rodger Goodell. How could any Seahawk - player, coach, or fan, - feel good about the outcome of that game? Might as well be watching pro-wrestling...
HEY OWNERS, TIME TO QUIT BEING THE GREEDY S.O.B.'s YOU ARE, AND PAY THE REF's WHAT THEY DESERVE!!!
Oh, and Rodger, yeah, wanna leave a legacy which contains any shred of legitimacy or decency? Get the real refs back out on the FRIGGIN' field and then resign... IMMEDIATELY!!!

On a walk around the Addington Cemetery with a wonderful Flickr friend. February 13, 2016 Christchurch New Zealand.
There is so much damaged in the cemetery because of the earthquake we have had. It is such a pity as I don' think it will ever be fully repaired.
The Addington Cemetery was established in 1858 when the Scottish Presbyterians of St Andrew’s Church purchased land for a cemetery in Selwyn Street. Although not the first cemetery in Christchurch, Addington was in fact the first “public” cemetery, “being open to all persons of any religious community” and allowing the performance of any religious service “not contrary to public decency”.
The first burial took place on the 10th of November 1858. The cemetery has several persons of note buried within its grounds including activist Kate Sheppard, Christchurch Mayor Tommy Taylor and members of the pioneer family, the Deans.

Ok, so here is the scene of the crime. I know it's disturbing, but please look closely, and you will see the evidence clearly. Now i know that it is a formality to analyze this scene because anyone with half an eyeball can clearly see that this is the aftermath of some seriously raunchy hokey-pokey. What kind of sick fuck would plow a vagina (or man-anus????) to the point of spraying blood on his wall and not have the decency to hide the evidence from his girlfriend? Fuck this asshole!
The (double entendre) saucy seaside postcard genre (a peculiarly British thing) was under attack. Those self appointed guardians of public decency and morality were always on the lookout and prompting police raids to seize and destroy shop stocks. In 1954 the most famous and prolific artist of this genre, Donald McGill, was prosecuted under The Obscene Publications Act. I suppose it was almost farcical, he was nearly 80 and the Act was a hundred years old and out of date. He might argue the comment on the card was innocent and you had to have a dirty mind to see anything else but he lost the case. To complete the farce the Act was updated a few later but that didn’t save thousands of cards from being destroyed and a number of publishers and retailers from going broke.

Session Americana playing at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, MA.

Session Americana - from www.sessionamericana.com
This ad hoc acoustic supergroup started around a table at a small pub in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Ry Cavanaugh, Billy Conway, Sean Staples, Dinty Child, Jim Fitting and other friends gathered to swap songs and stories. Their lively performances and inspired versions of tunes from the dusty backroads of America's past were such a hit with fans that they decided to take their musical conversation into the studio. The two-CD debut Tabletop People ups the ante with stellar appearances by folksinger Rose Polenzani, Twinemen's Laurie Sargent, Dennis Brennan, Asa Brebner, Merrie Amsterburg, Dan Kellar, Presidents of the United States' Chris Ballew, Jabe Beyer, Tim Gearon and other luminaries. And the 18 gritty, funny, soulful performances included span a gamut of emotions and tastes that should please both adult and younger listeners.
"Genius ... Jaw-dropping vocals ... Session Americana is blessed in this regard:...musicianship that sets the standard for the genre in Boston
and vocals that do the same"
— Performer Magazine
Session Americana sit tightly around a small cafe table, ambient mics tuned to catch the whole sound of the voices and instruments. A suit-case drum kit, an old electric bass, a bunch of acoustic instruments, a field organ: This format feels very theatrical and though the musicians face each other, the audience feels drawn into the circle by the warmth, joy and camaraderie that emanate outwards by the all star cast of characters seated around the table. What keeps you coming back show after show is the same thing that any audience member longs for, great songs performed by a great band. The six core members of the band have brought enviable careers worth of experience to the “table”, featuring (current and former) members of Treat Her Right, Patty Griffin, Lori McKenna, The The, Dennis Brennan, Kris Delmhorst. The group has grown from a rag tag jam at a local pub to a regional institution, playing gigs from church coee houses to urban nightclubs to regional festival tents to large halls.
Band: Ry Cavanaugh, Billy Beard, Dinty Child, Jim Fitting, Sean Staples and Jon Bistline.

I perform a cappella singing and spoken word at the Woodview Coffeehouse in Lecanto, FL. My singing is scatting -- i.e., wordless -- and I make up the tune as I go along. No two renditions are the same.
Most of the Woodview performers are musicians singing their own or other people's work. As I listened to them over the months, I had a hankering to write a song, something that had particular music and lyrics.
Last year, an especially hefty swarm of love bugs (Plecia nearctica) gave me my opening.
"The lucky in love spend about three days together gorging on nectar and pollen, gleefully snorting tailpipe exhaust, flaunting their marathon lust on the breezes," wrote Amber Mobley last year in her St. Petersburg Times article, "Feel like telling them 'Get a room'?" "Lacking the decency to get a room, these two are intimate the entire time. Eat, copulate, repeat."
"The Nearctica Waltz" received its public premiere this past August at Denvention 3/Worldcon. I'd performed it during the speculative poetry panel and introduced it as, "a musical poem with visual aid," because I'd printed out an 8x10 of this photo and held it up for the audience.
My Friday night audience at Woodview needed no such explanation. This fall the love bugs made a rather modest (as it were) appearance in my area -- nothing anywhere close to the thick, lusty clouds last year that made me say I feel a song comin' on!
(My skill in writing music is mediocre at best, but I wanted to get the general idea down.)
My blog entry with typed lyrics is here. You can hear Friday night's (Oct. 3, 2008) rendition here.

Leaflet issued by the Young Socialists group of the Labour Party. This leaflet is undated. However, it is likely that it dates from some point in the early 1960s. The Young Socialists were founded as a new national Labour Party youth organisation in 1960. In 1965 this group was renamed the Labour Party Young Socialists. The leaflet reads "Britain needs people like you, with energy, ideas, the time to spare and a conscious to trigger off a blazing campaign against injustice, stupidity, meanness and greed- and for fairness, decency, pride and a world fit for our generation to inherit".

I am just ready to forgive my cat after suffering (mild) PTSD, having found him crunching on a poor small creatures skull at 3am this morning. I needed paracetamol at 3 am and wandered into the pantry to find (literally) blood & guts all over the floor.
He had the decency to show remorse and skulk away (I anthropromorphize) ... just when did he learn to unlock the cat flap at night?
However this cat does captivate most people who meet him- not only is he quite an unusual looking cat but he has bags of character too. He is typical of most Siamese in that he is a very sociable cat & positively laps up any attention paid to him!

Franklin D. Roosevelt - 7th December, 1943 - In the name of the people of the United States of America, I salute the island of Malta, its people and defenders, who, in the cause of freedom and justice and decency throughout the world, have rendered valorous service far above and beyond the call of duty. Under repeated fire from the skies, Malta stood alone, but unafraid in the centre of the sea, one tiny bright flame in the darkness – a beacon of hope for the clearer days which have come. Malta's bright story of humnan fortitude and courage and with gratitude through all the ages. What was done in this island maintains the highest traditions of gallant men and women who from the beginning of time have lived and died to preserve civilisation for all mankind.
