Happy June and Solar Eclipse meows, my summer-anticipating Kittens... certainly, the June Bugs are out in force on the tame prairie... a warm, blue-sky day, and this Big Cat is attempting to decide how to attack her jungly yard in the most effective manner... oh! The perfume of the peonies... definitely heaven for the nose and the senses. Cool UFO painting... recently there have been several impressive sighting in areas where the Kougaress used to live... so, she missed it all. These cases are so strong, they are being investigated by MUFON. ~~~
Life in these times... What now... ? Isn’t that the question for many of us? There is so much change and disruption, plus corruption, how do we negotiate these tricky sticky times we’re in the middle of? Having lived through the cold war, with the nuclear threat hanging over our tender heads... well, let this Big Cat tell ya... those days were safe and tame compared to now. Heck, in some ways, living in the Old West was safer. No doubt, the olden days had extreme dangers and huge problems none of us would want to deal with... but, really, is humanity any safer now? Humanity has been gamed. Yeah, it was hard and nasty living in earlier times... however! We’ve been sold a bill of goods... as if living in these times is so much better. You’re just as likely to die, to be killed, and fall on hard times. You’re certainly no safer. In fact, you’re less safe because you’ve been trained NOT to protect yourself, but to rely on others to keep you safe. Rugged individualism has become passe. Self-reliance is discouraged at every turn. Often, family, and strong healthy community, is looked upon with suspicion. Actually, as usual, this Big Cat has digressed... but only a bit. As she yowled about before, it is crucial WE ALL develop our intuition, that we open ourselves to the Aquarian energies, that we AWAKEN to our psychic abilities, to our souls, to our Higher Self. One way to do this... and it ain’t always easy when we’re in the middle of some devastating, or potentially devastating situation... however, if we can take a moment to step outside of ourselves, and simply ask... WHAT NOW? Even WHAT THE HELL NOW? [insert any and all cuss words you desire]. Out of that simple act and question, often a path will emerge, a KNOWING will occur, a way comes about... the next step is known. Now, it becomes a matter of going forward, taking action, or it may be doing the next right thing. ~~~~~~
Big Cat by-the-numbers ~ 12:12 am... 2:12 am... 4:44... 2:12 pm... 11:11 pm... a false flag attack is likely on the way, unless the bad-guy powers that be back off, or, their plans are disrupted... may it be so. ~~~~~~

Featured at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS ~ Wolf-Lion Man by Savanna Kougar Lily sauntered into town. She’d prepared for the long trek by gorging herself on a crop of tasty mushrooms. With her pace slow but steady, she followed the beast-roar of Stephanos’ Harley. He had just passed her by, unaware of her presence. Granted she was small, and the mind-greeting she’d sent him had been quick, and not strong. Curious to know why the Guardian rode with a human woman, Lily decided to find out before investigating Talbot’s Peak as her tortoise self. Nobody’s fool, she stayed beneath the foliage, and avoided the sidewalk. ~~~
Featured at ROMANCE WRITERS BEHAVING BADLY ~ Idea Spark – A Fro Affair by Taige Crenshaw Been organizing my files and came across an idea that was sparked by something I saw.Sometime last year I was on my way home when I passed this woman who was sporting a slamming Afro hairstyle. The woman’s fro was big, high and poufy. I think it was a wig but it was so good I couldn’t tell. She was also sporting the clothing to go with the fro. She looked fierce. People were turning and looking at her. Me included. People were complimenting her on her look. Like any good diva she said thank you graciously and kept strutting. As I watched the woman stepping looking cool and fierce my mind was racing.~~~
From Astrolgy.com ~ Your June Forecast is Here! With summer's kick-off month starting with a solar eclipse in Gemini, then ending with the energies of yet another solar eclipse building up, you're in for high-energy action all throughout June!On June 1, Gemini hosts a solar eclipse, an event that will heighten your sense of anticipation and provide an opportunity for personal growth. If you're set in your ways, this can be unnerving, but just remember that it's nothing more than a nudge from the Universe to awaken your potential.Immediately afterward, on June 2, chatty Mercury becomes even more communicative as it moves into gabby Gemini. Then, on June 4, expansive Jupiter makes a major move from Aries into money-focused Taurus, bringing you good news on the financial front. Finally, June 11 brings fun and frivolity as flirty Venus joins the Sun and Mercury in light-hearted Gemini.A lunar eclipse on June 15 emphasizes balance, balance, balance. If you find yourself struggling, there's probably an imbalance somewhere: a strong relationship needs independence; grand ideas are useless without the details; a career isn't satisfying if you can't escape on occasion.The action continues on June 16, when active Mercury moves into emotional Cancer. Mars then revs its engines on June 20, charging out of Taurus and into upbeat Gemini for spirited debate and an exciting - albeit possibly stressful -- exchange of ideas. Then on June 21, the day of the Summer Solstice, the Sun moves into Cancer, at which point home and family becomes the main focus.Get ready for the Sun to send you on a bit of a roller coaster ride as June comes to a close. Good news is imminent on June 25 as the Sun pairs up with Jupiter; on June 28, however, the Sun runs into disruptive Uranus before standing in opposition to powerful Pluto later that same day. Of course, all this activity leads up to another solar eclipse at the start of July, so don't be surprised if things turn out quite differently than you planned! ~~~~~~

Nighttime maows, my Springtime cruisin’ KitKats... warm and rather sunny on the tame prairie... oh, and big-time windy for most of the day. The Kougaress hopes you and yours had a fab and meaningful holiday weekend. ~~~
One Big Box Turtle... exposed... okay, the Kougaress took a bucket of gray water outside and tossed it on her jungle of a yard. Lo and behold, the leaves parted and there was this wet box turtle, the largest one she’s ever seen. Utterly surprised, she apologized to Ms/Mr. Turtle who now had a shiny shell. Yes, turtlie’s head had been pulled inside the shell, so the Kougaress kept talking and staring. Eventually, turtlie’s head emerged, and she/he headed out in that turtle way. What a cutie. And, turtlie did look nice and healthy. ~~~~~~
Big Cat by-the-numbers ~ 4:44 am... 2:12 pm... 5:55 pm... Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...Angelic Forecast ~ #143 For the following week, and month, turmoil will spin the planet. And, love will “steer the stars”, like the lyric from song, AQUARIUS, in the anti-establishment musical, HAIR. The great divide is here between those individuals who walk the path of love, and those who prefer the chaos of war. This divide will gradually become a chasm. And, sides will be chosen. Because of the confluence of dynamics, this is a tricky time, and a particularly tricky week. Put simply, the terrible and tragic meets the divine realm of love. The fierce pull of both forces, if not recognized, could cause a temporary feeling of craziness. On a personal level, take a close look at the plans you have for your life. Given the rapid societal shifts occurring, it is wise to remain alert and adaptable. This week is an ideal time to update, or change your goals. The color red is likely to be prominent this week, both good and bad. Take another look at your relationship with this color, and how it figures in your life, or how it does not. Color, in general, rises anew in the human awareness. The various frequencies of color become a source of power and healing. This is true for dreaming, as well. Soon, those who form their own communities will begin to share dreams that are of benefit to them, and their overall well being. Trendwise, the AWAKENING will become the trend of choice for many. Anything which illuminates the soul, and assists in bringing about real freedom, both spiritual and planetary freedom, will rise the like the phoenix and will shine before ALL who have eyes to see. Of course, the soulless among us, will use all countermeasures to halt and coopt this trend. Beware.

Featured at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS ~ Something in the Waterby Pat Cunningham It was all Monica’s fault, Kate Didio decided. If Monica hadn’t texted her with the news she’d scored a date with that hot Tyler Hopkins, Kate wouldn’t have texted her back, and if Monica’s dating coup hadn’t distracted her she would have paid more attention to where she was walking while she texted, and she wouldn’t have hit the rim of the fountain in Talbot’s Peak’s sculpture garden, and she wouldn’t have tripped and fallen in and found herself thrashing around in danger of drowning in a whole two feet of water in a fountain shaped like a dog’s water dish. Monica was going to die. AND... the Kougar will be posting on Tuesday, the 31. ~~~

House Slaves vs Spartacus Others, most notably Dean Wesley Smith, have written far more eloquently than I shall about the issue of the coming civil war between writers. I actually don’t expect the war to be very civil at all, largely because the internet is not a place which cultivates or rewards civility. In fact, the very title of this post is, I admit, incendiary—but I chose it (and the illustration) for a very specific reason. And, given the reading I’ve been doing lately for a new project, the title could have been “Doughboys vs The Stars in Paris,” but no one gets World War One references these days.~~~~~~

Two Eagles Soaring ... the Kougaress saw two of her eagles soaring the blue skies, one at midmorning, and then one later in the afternoon. In our American culture eagles often represent freedom. This Big Cat is entirely soul-grateful for everyone who has fought, died and lived for FREEDOM. She is utterly grateful to anyone and everyone who is battling for true freedom now. Our world so needs liberation. We, as a people, need to live free, or our kind will eventually perish. For, freedom is necessary to our very beings. ~~~~~~

Pic from Coast to Coast am ~ Nuclear SunsetOn May 25th, I left the house to meet up with a friend. When I turned east onto the main street out of my neighborhood, I was struck by this image in the sky. Given the state of unrest in the Middle East, and indeed here on our American soil, my first thought was 'is that a silent nuclear bomb that went off in Atlanta?' Thankfully, it was just the setting sun playing off an extremely majestic cumulous cloud. I pulled over by the Dart Bowl and snapped this shot. I saw others doing the same. Were they thinking what I was thinking? Hopefully the next mushroom cloud I see will be just that...a cloud. Pray for peace.-- Adam N.domecq.productions@ gmail.com~~~
Nighttime meows, my Springtime spunkin’ Kittens... another cool wet overcast day on the tame prairie... omy yowls, what another wacked-out, wonky whirl of a day... yeah, stuff gets done, but doesn’t... despite two downloads the Kougaress hasn’t been able to solve opening her edit file so that it works like it should. ~sighs~ Hope you are having a good Memorial Day weekend, my darlings. ~~~
Rebel Rouser ~ the song... by artist, Duane Eddy... here’s a bit of search info ~ The master of twang! Eddy had 5 Top 40 hits between 1958 and 1963, I think this track was one of the first, in 1958.~ youtube.com/watch?v=uGPG_Y-_BZI ~ Back in the good ole days, the late 50s and early 60s, so much of the music, and the lyrics, were about freedom... the freedom to travel unhindered throughout this great land of ours... the freedom to discover life as a great adventure, and your place in it... the freedom to be a rebel artist and creatively fly higher than previous generations... it was about freeing the mind, and being footloose over the road and in your life, until you decided to put down roots... The songs of that time were ‘rebel rouser’ songs, and born from a generation who yearned to roam free, in mind, body and soul. That’s gone, now. All gone... like that iconic novel title, GONE WITH THE WIND... only this could be titled, GONE IS THE WIND IN YOUR FACE.Nowadays, there are only plastic-doll pretenders on the pop-trendy scene who don’t own an effing clue what that type of freedom is all about. Truth to tell, this Big Cat didn’t fully appreciate that ‘freedom’ either. She wrongly thought freedom would grow, blossom and ripen like delicious fruit. And, it would have, if intentional social engineering and ruthless scare tactics hadn’t been used by ‘those powers that be’ who hate humanity, and hate anyone being truly free. Did you know that Charles Manson was a product of a black-gov mind control program, and had a covert-ops handler? Yeah, ole Charlie wasn’t just an evil charismatic creep who preyed on the innocent. At least, not all on his own. He was created for the job by the enemies of the people. Oh, for the freedom to travel across this gorgeous country, like it was in the good ole days... ~~~~~~

Authoress news and mews ~ BTW, Free File Opener will ‘not’ open the comment bubbles on your edits. The Kougar spent $20 to find that out. No, she’s not a happy camper right now. Okay, she’s archaic and uses Wordperfect because she doesn’t like how Word works. And, a .doc file, even if it is before .docx, that is created in Word 2007 won’t open in Wordperfect. Gee, how fun is that? So, she spent most of the day looking for solutions, and she’s not even close to tech-savvy. Now she’s attempting to download OpenOffice... yeah, on dial-up. ~lots of sighs~ ~~~
From the Kougar’s Writing Den ~ White Fang, Ace Reporter *Unedited Six Sentence* progress on the latest WIP novella... Chapter Nine ~ Dangerously FeralWhite Fang had to wonder if the catwoman sultrily stalking him a woman who made his dream woman look like Talbot Peak’s gossip columnist, Maggie had been sent by unknown enemies. Mind probing Pasha would likely be a mistake, even if he could manage to concentrate. He scented goddess blood, the same ambrosial fragrance he’d caught a whiff of in the courtroom. His overriding question, had she told Dante the truth? Given the werewolf biker was nobody’s fool, had the catwoman beguiled him with her alchemical prowess? White Fang drew her scent in deeply. ~~~

No intuition needed to know what's on his mind... Friday into Saturday yowls, my Springtime weekend-celebrating KitKats... about nine-ish in the morning the Kougaress saw the most beautiful blue sky on the tame prairie... it was the ‘brightest’ blue sky she’s ever witnessed, simply incredibly bright... however, later it clouded up darn fast, and there was some thunder and rain... mostly, it’s been overcast and the skies became ‘aircraft central’ today, coming and going both... Memorial day air shows? Or something else... oh, it does feel ominous out there, my darlings. Take care! ~~~
Expanding Intuition... crucial! ... in these days of massive muddying of the waters by THOSE who use deception, spin and lies to control the people, and by those criminals who use every scam under the sun, and then some, to rip folks off... well, who do you trust? Who do you believe? What do you believe? While DISCERNMENT is the watchword for these times... discernment being that marriage of logic, common sense and your spidey sense that reveals the truth about an individual, a group, a situation... what is also CRUCIAL is being in touch with your natural intuitive ability... early humanity, according to some researchers, was much more intuition-centered, and used their psychic abilities to a much greater degree. With the AWAKENING happening at hyper speed, and avalanching across the globe, alongside that phenomena, is the expansion of intuitive capability. Now, is the time to welcome being more and more in touch with your intuition... to intuit the truth, whether in a personal situation, or intuiting the truth about a nasty unexpected situation you find yourself in... or, intuiting the TRUTH of the so-called leaders and o-fficials, and the corp-gov media, becomes crucial to everyone’s survival, and crucial to humanity as a whole. ~~~~~~

This Big Cat gal wonders if his name is Jackson? Nighttime mews, my Springtime spellbound Pussycats... a sunny day on the tame prairie, but cooler... still, it feels odd outside, like everything is off kilter... an up and down, sorta wacky day for this Big Cat... it feels like being pulled in several different directions while trying to get everything done... yowls! ~~~
Time for Some ‘Action Jackson’ ... yep, back in the ancient days, the late 80's, this movie title became a popular saying in the Kougaress’s corner of the world. Obviously, ACTION JACKSON translated into *it’s time for some major action*, as opposed to sitting upon one’s but and doing nothing. Also, it implied a way of being. Someone who was out there, involved, getting things done, especially for social causes. Yesterday, many Texans took action, heading down to their capitol building to demand the passage of a bill that would end the TSA’s perverted pat downs, and their rapedowns. It was even described as ‘storming’ the capitol. Even though, these ‘Action Jackson’ Texans were betrayed by their Lt. Governor, one of their triumphs was a new coming together. A new sense of their own power as a community. This new sense of power, the power of the people to come together, is likely to sweep the country, more and more. To become an unstoppable tidal wave of action. It is definitely time to take back our power as the people. It’s time for Action Jackson activism. ~~~~~~

Rainy day meows, my Springtime take-cover Kittens... ohgosh, did it rain last night... lots of lightning, too... this afternoon the Kougaress trekked down to her mailbox when the sun was out, although it was partly cloudy... on the way she cut back some of the overgrown foliage along her gravel drive... well, just as she got her mail out, it began sprinkling, and this Big Cat walked back in the rain... a steady rain, but fortunately not a downpour... a couple of hours later, she discovered a tornado had hit Sedalia, a small city about forty-five minutes away... wow, a sort of close call... although, the Kougaress saw no evidence of any tornadic activity on the tame prairie. Continued blessings to ALL those who are affected by the tornadoes and severe storms. Be careful, my darling Big Cats. The Kougaress loves ya! ~~~
Turmoil Dread ... the Kougaress began lucid dreaming this phrase, and it stayed with her as she awoke... it certainly seems apt for these challenging and horrific times... given all the turmoil, and then, of course, dreading the continued turmoil of severe, off the charts weather, the coming land changes, the social upheaval, the economic injustice... how this phrase fits into any of this Big Cat’s WIPs, though... well, that’s the mystery... as she dreamed, the phrase was part of an ongoing story, one the Kougaress doesn’t remember now. ~~~~~~

Featured at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS ~ Baiting The Trap For Loveby Rebecca GillanDorri tensed her haunches at the faint squeak of the cat door being forced open. It hadn’t taken her long to figure out that was how the delectable little balls of blue fluff were getting in. Lexor had had the cat door installed right after he’d bought the coffee shop and outfitted it with a little hydraulic motor that was radio controlled. He wore a collar outfitted with an embedded radio tag while in cat form that would trigger the door to open. This kept the premises relatively secure while eliminating the need to stash a spare key somewhere. Life as a shifter invariably meant returning home in the fur from time to time. ~~~

The idiot-corrupt feds are threatening to blockade the state of Texas by disallowing plane flights, all because the Texas representatives dared to bring forth a bill denying the TSA perverts any right to perform a rape-down. Oh, this Big Cat wishes all the states would pass such a bill. Gee, the airline companies won’t be too happy, will they, if there’s no business? Of course, there would be a lot of pain for those who rely on traveling by plane. But, heck, maybe the airlines will wise and up and kick the TSA out, as they have every legal right to do. Then again, the false-flag boys will likely seek every manner of retribution. Yep, it will be the ole gun to the head strategy. Blow up a few planes. Blame it on the terrorists, domestic or foreign. Let the military pilots use the commercial planes for target practice. Yeah, that’ll make Americans compliant. We are the TSA. We rule. Lick our boots. Of course, folks and states could get smart and start their own airlines, and make agreements with each other as to airspace usage. It would be tough, but workable. And, gosh, the whole idea of human dignity might return. Ya think? ~~~~~~

Nighttime yowls, my Springtime watch-out-for-that-tornado KitKats... this afternoon Oklahoma City was tornado-struck, and at this time, four have lost their lives... it’s been pre-storm still on the tame prairie today, with storms passing by, but threatening from all sides for a time.. and, there’s a major stormline coming in from the west now... it’s that too-quiet feeling of pressure... once again, blessing and good vibes to ALL.

Warning: The following is for entertainment and educational purposes ONLY. And, is only an opinion.Blowback... about to blow... as the AWAKENING continues at thought-speed... as BLOWBACK continues ‘against’ the corp-gov deceivers, everything around us is about to blow sky high... the pressure cooker that folks have been under is about to blow, and the rise of the renegades grows by leaps and bounds... more violent weather is blowing in... volcanoes are blowing their stacks... earthquakes are blowing the land apart around the globe... as well, the false flag teams are choosing their targets... there is a significant and ominous build-up of the military at Ft. Carson, in the Chicago area, and areas around the New Madrid fault... it’s said these troops are specifically trained to take on the American people... also, more and more foreign troops are on American soil, and have been readied to quell uprisings and riots... likely, there will be more major economic blowups, blowouts... and blowback against the Bankster-Gangsters. ~~~~~~

From Astrology.com ~ Sun and Uranus: New Beginnings Come Easily!May 24 will see the stimulating Gemini Sun shine a soft, gentle light on Uranus in active Aries. With change coming so easily, this transit will present an ideal opportunity to try something completely new!Uranus is associated with innovation, rebellion and change. It can make life dramatic and difficult, but it can also shake things up, helping you kick out anything old and stale as you welcome new beginnings.There are varying levels at which Uranus may wield its influence, and this depends on the other planets involved and how they're positioned in the sky. Fortunately in this case, the Sun is forming a very pleasant alignment with Uranus. You won't feel any radical changes imposed upon you ... but it you pay close attention, you'll notice some new doors cracking open for you.Uranus can come completely out of left field, so your new vehicle for change may not be obvious right away. But once you figure it out, be sure to take advantage of opportunities presented to you. You're sure to be thrilled with the results! ~~~~~~
BIG CAT BTW... the White House has been gamed. It turns out an inside source in Hawaii knew the fake birth certificate had been placed in Feb 2011, where the current Governor of Hawaii claimed he already looked, and found nothing. So, Jerome Corsi, author of WHERE’S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE? Decided to keep quiet, and let the prez and his cronies hang themselves by releasing the obviously fraudulent document. Also, criminal charges are about to be filed with the FBI over the fraudulent certificate of birth released during idiot-donald’s apprentice show. ~~~~~~

Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...Angelic Forecast ~ #142 For this week, the highs and lows will be alternately like leaping over tall buildings in a single bound, or diving into Dante’s inferno. This is because there is a great upliftment happening, and, at the same time, there is a terrible pull toward the dark side. What is also occurring is that each one of us is discovering ourselves anew. We are, as humanity, so much more than we’ve been allowed to believe. As we enter ever more deeply into the Aquarian Age, who we truly are, surfaces in opposition to how we have perceived ourselves to be. This will cause inner conflict for many. Out of this conflict there will be extreme behaviors that serve no one. However, there will also be brilliant leaps forward that will serve all of us on beloved Mother Earth. Many who AWAKEN now will take on a subtle shine, a recognizable glow. There is no time like the present to begin people watching, if you don’t already do so. You will soon see the extra shine. The following week is likely to be one of tough choices on a personal level, and within your family. It’s time to resolve the past in a manner that will benefit you, and those you love. There is a way, even if it means cutting the ties that bind. Also, because of what will happen on the world stage, and around the globe this week, tough choices will need to be made by many of us. There will be major shifts in how the world at large operates, and we will need to take action. During the next several weeks, a new alignment will rise. An old alignment of powers will fall. To disguise this enormous shift, subterfuge will be used, and lies will be told. Also, contradiction will be the name of the game. Not only that, there will be a massive attempt by the corp elite to make humanity believe green is red, and red is green. The intention is to cause everyone’s head to spin so fast with nonsensical ideas that a mass state of deception is achieved, and maintained. Your best defense is to step outside of yourself. Become the Observer. And, remain true to yourself. On the economic front there will be a clash of ideologies. So it will appear. To protect yourself, and your livelihood, look for ways to do things differently. Also, look for ways to come together as an economically viable community. During this time in history, those who are living in the real world, rather than inside a dreamworld, will be the eventual winners. To illustrate, if a tornado is headed your way, take action to save yourself, and others. Believing the tornado is not really coming toward you, or will surely pass you by, that is a dreamworld, and you won’t be the winner in the end. Trendwise, all those with an affinity for animals will discover new opportunities to live their hearts. If you feel drawn to animals in any way, this is a sign. It’s time to change course. Animals, and pets of every kind, have a vital role in the future. One that far surpasses what has been.

Voices reached her over the music, boisterous and shrill, and not all of them sounded fully human. ~~~

Sunday into Monday meows, my Springtime sparkling Pussycats... last night the Kougaress did a lot of storm watching... in part because she wanted to know if she needed to shut down her computer... and because it was an absolutely amazing sight... the lightning flashed above... at the same time fireflies danced above the pasture... to see these lightning bugs and the lightning flashing together was eerie and gorgeous... however, as she watched, the Kougaress didn’t realize the tornadic devastation that occurred, and occurred later during these storms. Blessing to ALL who were affected. ~~~
Wow pow, is this Big Cat author learning more than she bargained for about the mysteries of ancient Egypt. Great stuff to know for Z’Pasha, the heroine of her WIP ~ White Fang, Ace Reporter. Also, the Kougarass’s free Anubis reading was fascinating, and helpful. From UNKNOWN COUNTRY ~ Wednesday May 18, 2011Egypt: a New Direction William Henry and Nikki Scully are teaming up to lead tours to Egypt this winter, and here they discuss the esoteric meaning of Egyptian alchemy and religion. When touring, they will be utilizing exclusive private visits to the sacred places in order to perform group ceremonial without big crowds. Here, they discuss the powerful reality and real meaning of the Egyptian gods and the power of the sacred science that the Egyptians used to access the vividly alive level of reality that they inhabit. We are in the process of relearning these ancient skills, and William Henry and Nikki Scully are at the absolute forefront in bringing this ancient science back to life.

SCI FI, SUSPENSE AUTHORS/ASPIRING AUTHORS ~ ~ wired.com/dangerroom/2011/05/teeny-tiny-drone-fires-teeny-tiny-missile-gulp ~ Teeny-Tiny Drone Fires Teeny-Tiny Missile (Gulp)By Spencer Ackerman ~ May 20, 2011 TAMPA, Florida — Never let it be said that small isn’t powerful. A Northern California company has just built commandos perhaps the smallest drone that can kill you. Underscoring the point, it’s even painted camouflage, like Stallone in Rambo.The Arcturus company built its eponymous drone as the unmanned aerial equivalent of a compact car. Its wingspan is just over 17 feet, making it slightly smaller than the Army and Marine Corps’ Shadow drone. Arcturus is “primarily” a spy plane, says engineer Eric Folkestad. Emphasis on “primarily.”Because the life-size Arcturus on display at the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference here has a conspicuous add-on under its left wing. That’s a Saber, a 10-pound laser-guided missile (.pdf) manufactured by MBDA. In tests, Arcturus discovered that the wings of its drone can carry 22 pounds’ worth of cargo, making it a candidate to wield MBDA’s missiles. “No one else can do that in our size category,” Folkestad says.Not for lack of trying. For years, both the Army and Marine Corps have tried to weaponize the Shadow, an attempt to make it the pint-sized Salacious Crumb to the Jabba the Hutt of drones, the Hellfire-armed Predator. If it works, a battalion commander won’t have to call headquarters for unmanned air support. He’ll have the air support himself.So far, though, armed drones of this size haven’t made it out of the testing stage. And that includes the Arcturus.Folkestad says his company has shipped 12 of the drones to the Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force in the past 18 months. They’re still in evaluation. But if it gets the thumbs up, then ever-smaller units will command their own flying killer robots, another step in the proliferation of drone warfare.Unlike the other “tier-2 class” drones, Arcturus is intended primarily for commandos. Like the Shadow, it’s launched from a pneumatic catapult, and doesn’t need a runway to land. Unlike a Shadow, the Arcturus is a modular design: The wings and the tail snap off of the 100-pound plane for portability by small special-operations detachments behind enemy lines.Hence the camouflage. The camo might look a little silly when the Arcturus is up at its max height of 15,000 feet. But that missile is no laughing matter.If that sounds a little callous, consider this: Arcturus shares its company name with a fantastically dark Norwegian black metal band. Folkestad doesn’t need reminding: “You Google us; you get them.”~~~~~~
BIG CAT SNARL AND SNARK ~ geez, oh please... you can’t purchase anything these days for fear an ad will pop up for it... on her last shopping trip this Big Cat purchased Bumblebee tuna after reading labels to finally discover this brand has NO soy oil in it... most soy oil is GMO and definitely bad for your health... having never purchased this brand before, nor seen an internet ad for it before... well, whatever... but, why does big brother corp have to pop up an ad on yahoo for this brand so soon? It’s not like the Kougaress is going to rush out and buy more. What annoying idiots... not to mention, unwanted, privacy-invading spies. ~~~~~~

Saturday into Sunday maows, my Springtime beautiful Kittens... warmer on the tame prairie, but wet and drying out... of course, with all this rain, the greenery is exploding happily, and the birdies are wing-bounding about... wow, what a crazy wacked-out day... the rapture would have been preferable... however, this Big Cat is still standing and yowling. ~~~
Wow, rapture... and now a UFO hoax... First, it was a CIRCUS CIRCUS, end-of-the-world diversion called ‘the rapture’, which will be used in the coming days to vilify certain groups of people, and possibly round them up for their own good, and supposedly ours... meanwhile, the psychopath global wackos, who should be rounded up and imprisoned for all of their horrific unspeakable crimes against humanity, are still pressing ever forward in their bid to totally rule the planet. Okay... the above was not planned. It just burst out. So, have you heard about the UFO hoax? Here’s an article from UNKNOWN COUNTRY ~ Massive UFO Hoax on SundayFriday, May 20, 2011The online group "Anonymous" is planning a worldwide hoax about UFO sightings, using members scattered in many countries. Starting on Sunday, May 22, at about 8 pm EST, you may start seeing reports on all sorts of websites about sightings of triangle-shaped UFOs, but these will all be bogus. The motivations of these hackers aren't clear, and they may be mixed: Some may be into it for the fun, some because they favor UFO disclosure, and for others, it may be a form of conceptual art. Now to the topic at hand. This appears to be a perfect psy-ops opportunity for THOSE who want everyone to believe that ‘any’ reported sighting of a UFO *must* be a hoax. This is incredibly stupid simply because there are genuine reports all the time. It’s not like the real UFOs... whatever they are, or are not... won’t show up. “Hey, it’s hoax day, let’s not go about our business on Earth.” One question becomes: What are THEY hiding? It’s well known that many of the UFO sightings are black ops projects. The Stealth used to be reported as a UFO before it was finally rolled out to the public. Still, there are so many possible scenarios, to outline them all, would take time and energy and too many pages. Then again, what a perfect opportunity for these not-black-project UFOs to go about their business. “Hey, we’re not real. You’re not seeing what you think you’re seeing.” Some, who are deep into the UFO community, are rightly concerned that if an otherworld race did want to make contact, and planned to do so, with an obvious aerial display... well, they’re out of luck, and so is humanity. Because, after all, it’s all just a hoax, isn’t it? Not to mention, the black project community has perfected the ability to project holo images in the sky. And, probably, about anywhere. Oh, the endless possibilities for deception. ~~~~~~

Enjoy an escape from the rush of the everyday by doing something creative that represents who you are. You'll surely emerge feeling more relaxed and on top of your game.Then on May 23, as the fog clears, you'll feel the fiery, passionate energies of Venus and Mars coming together in Taurus.

You'll have a lust for life that can only lead to fun and success!Remember, Neptune wants you to understand and accept yourself for who you are. ~~~~~~
No end-of-the world disappearance for most of us... however, an erupting volcano and small earthquakes... By GUDJON HELGASON, Associated Press – 27 mins agoREYKJAVIK, Iceland – Iceland's most active volcano has started erupting, scientists said Saturday — just over a year after another eruption on the North Atlantic island shut down European air traffic for days.Scientists: Iceland's Grimsvotn volcano erupting Iceland's Meteorological Office confirmed that an eruption had begun at the Grimsvotn volcano, accompanied by a series of small earthquakes. Smoke could be seen rising from the volcano, which lies under the uninhabited Vatnajokull glacier in southeast Iceland.A no fly zone has been designated for 120 nautical miles (220 kilometers) in all directions from the eruption. Isavia, the company that operates and develops all airport facilities and air navigation services in Iceland, described this as standard procedure around eruptions."The plume of smoke has reached jet flying altitude and plans have been made for planes flying through Icelandic air control space to fly southwardly tonight," said Hjordis Gudmundsdottir, the spokeswoman for Isavia.Grimsvotn last erupted in 2004. Scientists have been expecting a new eruption and have said previously that this volcano's eruption will likely be small and should not lead to the air travel chaos caused in April 2010 by ash from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano. ~~~ For the rest of the story ~ news.yahoo.com ~ ~~~~~~

Chapter Eight ~ The Soul Feathers Lovingly, Z’Pasha cradled the white feather in her palm. She paused in her steps toward her limestone altar, made from small blocks she’d discovered at an ancient Druidic circle, not far from the Pleasure Club. Mere moments ago, the fragile-looking feather had drifted into her palm while she lounged on her divan. A sigh passed her lips, and Z’Pasha felt some measure of comfort. Even though, Larissa remained in a deep state of recovery, the Benevolent Ones of the spirit realm knew her friend’s heart. They had gifted Z’Pasha with her soul feather. ~~~

AUTHORS/ASPIRING AUTHORS ~ Note: the Kougar does not care for Harlequin as a company. However, to each his own. Harlequin Nocturne is looking to acquire bold, exciting, erotic paranormal romance short stories for its eBook program, Nocturne Cravings. These stories should be fast-paced paranormals with strong erotic fantasy and danger elements. Authors should feel comfortable exploring any and all sexual scenarios and shouldn't shy away from graphically sensual situations. In fact, the short stories should contain many erotic scenes that compel and bind the characters together. Strong, emotional characters that grab the readers imagination are also essential.We are looking for stories of vampires, shape-shifters, werewolves, psychic powers, etc. set in contemporary times. Stories should deliver a dark, highly sensual read that will entertain readers and take them from everyday life into an atmospheric, complex world filled with characters struggling with life-and-death issues. A strong alpha hero is of utmost importance—he should be powerful, mysterious and totally attractive to the heroine. While action-packed and mission-oriented, the scope of these stories should be more contained, with additional focus placed on character development and erotic situations.All stories should be capable of standing alone; all loose ends need to be tied up, and the relationship between hero and heroine should resolve itself in a satisfying manner.For published authors, this line is a great way to explore more erotic scenarios and different fantasy elements. Unpublished authors are welcome as well.Only complete manuscripts submitted electronically will be considered from unpublished authors; no partials or queries, please. Submissions should be sent as a Word-compatible attachment. Submissions should also follow standard formatting guidelines and should be double-spaced and typed in a clear, legible font on numbered pages. Author name and title should appear as a header or footer on each page.Nocturne Cravings e-mail address: nocturnebites@ harlequin.ca ~~~~~~
