Icky Sticky... so, what's new?


Pic from COAST TO COAST AM ~ Canyon Watcher

While hiking in one of my favorite locations, and being a photographer, I just had to take a photo of this natural formation that is in one of the canyons where the new movie Cowboys and Aliens was filmed. I took this photo right after the film crew left on 12/10/10. This is right outside the village of Abiqui, New Mexico.

Late night howls, my fun-in-the-sun-and-steam Pussycats... yep, August is here, and winter never looked so good even though this Big Cat is NOT a fan of winter *shiver* freezing... John Hogue, a modern day prophet, sure nailed this one... as part of this year’s forecast he said folks would be longing for winter given how HOT the summer temps would be... now, Mr. Hogue doesn’t hit every nail on the head with his forecasts... but, he gets a big loud DING DING on this one.
~~~

Icky Sticky... so, what’s new? Yowls! Given how many days it’s been for this summer heat straight from the bowls of fiery unforgiving hell, it has become -- okay, so, what’s new? Yeah, the week’s forecast ain’t looking to awful good, either. Too bad we can’t take all the Mr. & Ms. Suit Hot-Air Politicians... toss them out on their shriveled up, ugly bums, and watch them broil and bake without any air conditioning. After all, most of ‘em don’t seem to give one good damn about the folks of this country, let alone listening to what they have to say. Hey, lose a billion here, a billion there. Give trillions upon trillions to your buddies. Toss taxpayer dollars to foreign countries like it’s confetti. After all, most of ‘em, these so called ‘esteemed’ leaders, have made deals with the devil. Yowls! so this Big Cat says let the red, horned guy collect early. That would be doing us all a favor we could actually use.

Yep, this *overheated* Big Cat ain’t in a pretty mood.

From Astrology.com ~

Your August Forecast is Here!

The stars may give August a roaring welcome, but they can't resist throwing some obstacles your way ... just to keep life interesting, of course!

The action begins on August 1, and you couldn't ask for a more pleasant way to start the month: Affectionate Venus sends a flirtatious smile to outlandish Uranus, just as the Sun shines its light upon extravagant Jupiter. However, the very next day, August 2, sees aggressive Mars move into sensitive Cancer and pair with dreamy Neptune, at which point befuddlement and confusion will begin to reign.

Adding to the sudden disarray, Mercury turns retrograde between August 3-26, a transit that will push your plans and communications into turmoil. Remember to keep taking long, slow, deep breaths throughout this retrograde period!

On August 4, Neptune, also in retrograde mode, moves backward from Pisces to Aquarius. Ideally, this aspect will create enlightened, humanitarian attitudes; however, it can also bring uncertainty about the future, as well as changes to scientific beliefs and social values.

Meanwhile, Mars, still discombobulated in Cancer, runs into Uranus on August 9, then Pluto on August 11. Each of these transits will add to the current chaos, while exposing you to a higher level of risk and increasing your likelihood to make foolhardy decisions. These can be rather disruptive, difficult aspects ... but fortunately, they won't last long.

Then, on August 13, when the Full Moon rises in Aquarius, you'll feel pulled between friends and loved ones, and also torn between self-preservation and working toward the greater good. Finally, on August 16 and 17, the Sun in Leo tips its hat to two planets -- first Venus, then Mercury -- and you'll be able to sweep your troubles aside and bask in the love and joy all around you.

Furthermore, once Mars turns its attention to Jupiter on August 18, you'll feel more confident. Get ready to achieve new success -- and possibly even benefit financially, though in an odd and unexpected way.

Enjoy the fun while it lasts, because on August 23, the Sun moves from Leo to Virgo. Playtime is over -- you've got work to do and responsibilities to attend! Two days later, on August 25, Venus and Pluto help you make progress, both at work and in your relationships. However, Mars and Saturn square off that same day, upping levels of frustration and making you more accident-prone. Tread carefully and put all your energies into a task requiring great focus.

The month comes to a close with Jupiter going retrograde in Taurus on August 30. At this time, you'll need to scale back any big spending plans you have -- or put them on hold altogether.

The rain came, slow at first...


Pic from COAST TO COAST AM ~ Ground-to-Cloud Lightning

I was taking video of a lightning storm on July 24, 2011. In this frame capture, you'll notice the lightning in the background, but also the red lightning in the foreground. The strike was in front of a bush 20 feet from me! The fact that the strike is in front of the bush means that it was VERY CLOSE! I submitted the photo to a local TV station and the meteorologist responded with this comment:

"Thank you for sending your amazing photo! It's so nice to finally get some rain and thunderstorms in our area...it's been far too long!

That photo may actually be showing a bolt (foreground) moving upward from the ground. When lightning strikes, there are small segments called "stepped leaders" that forge part of the path for the lightning to travel toward the ground. They usually extend upward from taller objects in the area toward the parent cloud above. Definitely too close for comfort!"

Ride Me Baby!!

“Ah, she is a real sweetie Harley. Riding her is so damn fine. I can feel her purring between my legs from the moment I mount her.”

Gil stopped dead in his tracks as he pushed the double kitchen door open. Three days in squirrel form was bad enough, now he had to listen to Louie gush loudly about some dame. Christ, his artistic aberration attack had gossip flying all over town. Hell the new dishes and haute cuisine werestyle had more shifters coming in than Katie could handle alone. A few had taken up eating at the bar. At least the tips were good. Scrubbing blood and guts off the varnished wood nightly was getting old real fast. Recently some drunk had tried to chomp on the bar. How did you get teeth marks out of wood?

Big Cat Comment in response to a thread on Amazon about word usage in romance ~

“Interesting, yes... but ain't NO WAY to 'satisfy' everyone's word preferences. I have my own faves, of course. But, really, unless the English language is expanded dramatically in the erotic romance department, there are only a limited number of words that can be used. And, of the supposedly acceptable words, how boring would it be to use ONLY them?”

Further comment: Oh, how this Big Cat author wishes the English language could be expanded dramatically, and thus truly reflect the emotions/feelings/actions/ that take place in romance and erotic romance. The current English language, even with all the added lingo, and the strides forward made by all of us romance writers, is still woefully inadequate, and, at times, immature in the words and phrases that are available, in this Big Cat’s opinion. While the Kougar does all she can to creatively enhance her descriptions of what is happening, this is sometimes viewed as ‘taking the reader out of the story’ or simply ‘not’ readable... that is, the reader can’t skim the story fast enough, easy enough. So, the trap is set to spring. Using words redundantly, or words some reader’s dislike... OR! Attempting to express what is occurring with new phrasing, a different usage of words that is considered unacceptable... all of this, this current and ongoing ‘trap’, makes the Kougar want to scream HELP!!! as a writer.

This week’s topic was perfect, if she did say so herself. It had sexiness, sassiness and was sure to cause more than a few gasps throughout Talbot’s Peak. There would be gasps of outrage from the non-shifter folk, even though you know darn well that they were secret dialer's. Gasps of pleasure from the shifters who liked to get down and dirty and even twitters of enjoyment from those too shy to jump into the phone sex game with both feet—they’d dip their toes though.

Cool good Bee news ~

Amid bee die-off, healthy hives thrive in cities

By CARLA K. JOHNSON

CHICAGO (AP) — Among the wildflowers and native grasses in the garden atop Chicago's City Hall stand two beehives where more than 100,000 bees come and go in patterns more graceful, but just as busy, as the traffic on the street 11 stories below.

The bees are storing honey that will sustain them through the bitter winter and be sold in a gift shop just blocks away.

"Already this season, one hive has produced 200 pounds of surplus honey, which is really a huge amount of honey," said beekeeper Michael Thompson after checking the hives one July morning. "The state average is 40 pounds of surplus honey per hive."

The Chicago bees' success could be due to the city's abundant and mostly pesticide-free flowers. Many bee experts believe city bees have a leg up on country bees these days because of a longer nectar flow, with people planting flowers that bloom from spring to fall, and organic gardening practices. Not to mention the urban residents who are building hives at a brisk pace.

Beekeeping is thriving in cities across the nation, driven by young hobbyists and green entrepreneurs. Honey from city hives makes its way into swanky restaurant kitchens and behind the bar, where it's mixed into cocktails or stars as an ingredient in honey wine.

Late posting meows, my splendid and super sassy KitKats... *no* rain on the tame prairie, even with a 60% chance, but there was weird lightning for hours... from about ten at night to two in the morning when this Big Cat finally crashed, at least... the Kougaress just can’t believe what she witnessed was just your normal lightning... some of it covered most of the sky and pulsed like a giant strobe light... and on the northern horizon, there was a lot of activity at one point with monstrous flares of a pinkish orange lightning... as far as any forked lightning, well, maybe a couple of flashes that this Big Cat saw... really, really weird...

Special intuitive note: From this point forward there will be a huge, but incremental, increase in the number of children taken by CPS, or similar gov agencies. This will be done on the flimsiest of excuses, not because of actual abuse, or any sexual abuse. Four to five times more children are abused while in the care of CPS than when left with their parents. Far more children go missing, and also die. Often these taken children are drugged to the gills, and sold/adopted to the highest bidder. Every manner of spin will be used to justify these heinous, gov-sanctioned crimes. One of the reasons for this, is that the dark-powers-that-be want to ensure the breakup of the family. Take care, my darlings. Move it you have to. Go underground if you have to. Band together, and take whatever actions you have to. Most schools will not be safe, and will become willing partners to CPS.

Six Pack Abs On a Fish?


Discovered by chance, the secret Mexican crystal caves big enough to drive a car through

By Daily Mail Reporter

Discovered by two miners looking for lead, these amazing crystal-lined caves could be mistaken for Superman's ethereal Arctic lair.

These stunning white beams of gypsum have been growing at a snail's pace for hundreds of thousands of years in caves below Naica in Mexico.

Ten years after the amazing discovery, scientists are petitioning the Mexican government to claim for Unesco World Heritage status to protect the unique formations for future generations.

Dolphin hunts with electric sense
By Richard Black
Environment correspondent, BBC News

A South American dolphin is the first "true mammal" to sense prey by their electric fields, scientists suggest.

The researchers first showed that structures on the animal's head were probably sensory organs, then found it could detect electric fields in water.

Electroreception is well known in fish and amphibians, but until now the only mammal example was the platypus.

Writing in the Royal Society's journal Proceedings B, the scientists say other cetaceans may show the same ability.

The Guiana dolphin (Sotalia guianensis) lives around the east coast of South America, and resembles the much more common bottlenose variety.

Like all of the toothed cetaceans, it hunts and locates using sound.

But the researchers have now shown that at close range, it can also sense electrical signals.

Genetic Genocide: Humanity’s Greatest Threat

~ infowars.com/genetic-genocide-humanitys-greatest-threat ~

Aaron Dykes & Alex Jones
Infowars.com
July 27, 2011

Pandora’s Box has surely been opened. A dangerous genetic experiment has come out of the shadows, and the human-animal hybrids, chimeras and other transgenic clones it has yielded now threaten to endanger and irrevocably alter life as we know it.

The controllers of elite-funded science and R&D have wantonly tampered with the genetic code of the planet, ignoring the rather obvious dangers posed by cross-species experimentation and flagrantly jeopardizing the earth’s delicately-balanced biodiversity.

In a special video, Alex Jones addresses the profound risks posed by genetically-modified hybrids now featuring prominently in the field of biotechnology.

Fresh revelations about a “secret lab” program in the UK admittedly ongoing ‘for the last three years’ that developed such bestial-hybrids only serves to reinforce our available data concerning the fact that genetically-modified laboratory creations are fast spinning out of control. Now the biotech industry has unleashed these Franken-breeds into the world under the auspices of monopolizing some of the most important and dangerous developments in Agra, Pharma and Medical research for the 21st Century. Their GM “solutions” to life’s challenges promise lucrative returns, as we reported earlier today, due royalties on their patented gene-expressions.

Ah-ha Moments at Hyper Speed... and a Happy Roar of Thanks...


Lady Godiva by Edward Henry Corbould... love this painting...

Goodgosh almighty, more super hot meows, my lovely and lissome Hep Cats... there was some welcome relief last night on the tame prairie with cool refreshing air... however, the summer baking heat set in fast this morning. Yuck!
~~~

Ah-ha Moments at Hyper Speed ... yep, this Big Cat is experiencing them so fast, she doesn’t have time to talk about them all... probably to the relief of any KitKat who reads this bloggie... one of the biggie ah-ah moments today?... well, Truth is often the Ultimate Prize... meaning, have you ever been in a situation where someone lied about you, and you got into nasty trouble... and, even worse, when you tried to tell THE TRUTH about your innocense no one would listen... and, they simply called you a liar or accused you of being in denial, told you to get help, the usual psycho babble crap stuff... heck, long, long ago this Big Cat almost got arrested because she told the policeman the truth, and he refused to believe it... weird, huh?

Yep, to the truth, this type of situation has occurred throughout this Big Cat’s life, often with devastating and horrible results.

Out of this, the Kougaress realized it’s not about the actual TRUTH, it’s about what someone wants to believe for whatever sick and psychologically-twisted reason... whether it’s because they don’t want to go against the crowd, or somehow they see themselves as the savior in the situation... anyway, it comes down to they have to see you as less than, in order to give themselves a mental boost... yeah, they tromp you down, to raise themselves up. Of course, it never works in the long run... but, somehow, that fact doesn’t register.

Anyhoo... what’s also true, for the most part, and too obvious in our current culture, it’s not about the actual TRUTH, it’s about winning. This happens in the courtroom where it doesn’t matter if you’re innocent or guilty, it’s about who can win the case. This sickness permeates our society. Justice can never exist as long as it’s about winning and not about the discovery of the TRUTH.

Rarely, is this question asked: What is the truth? What ‘really’ happened. Is the accused individual guilty or innocent, and what is the real story? What are the actual facts? Ultimately, what is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

No, the TRUTH has already been scripted. Built into this script there is often a ‘false’ choice. This happens over and over with the so-called news stories, as one example in these times. It’s never... here are the known facts with the question: WHAT IS THE TRUTH? It’s not about ~ Let’s keep an open mind, an open heart. And/or ~ let’s all live in the question: What is the truth? Let’s all seek the real answer.

No, in this world it’s like living with a domineering parent who constantly tells you what the truth is... because, hey, you’re incapable of going out there and finding out the truth yourself.

Bottom line, in these times, Truth, and the recognition of Truth, is the Ultimate Prize... especially if you are innocent.

Too much whiskey, pretty kitty.
By Savanna Kougar

Dante’s inner wolf howled and yipped for release. He should never have tossed down several shots of whiskey with Dead Aim. But the mountain man had been persuasive in that clap-on-the-back way of his.

Besides, Dante just plain liked and admired the puma shapeshifter. They’d jawed at the bar for a time, celebrating Dead Aim’s hookup with the woman rancher, Stormy.

Given Dante already had a soft spot in his heart for the human who encouraged him in his poetry writing, and also didn’t hold back on her criticism, he’d wanted to know whatever sexy tasty tidbits he could pry out of Dead Aim. That meant, sharing a bottle of Black Jack whiskey.

July Ends with a Flurry of Cosmic Activity!

As July comes to a close, a host of star transits is set to reveal unexpected opportunities for you. All this astrological action will also boost your love life, improve your communications and bring new beginnings - and that's just the short list!

It all begins on July 27, when the Sun gives experimental Uranus an encouraging nudge. That's all Uranus needs to bestow you with exciting new opportunities begging to be seized. Positive change doesn't come much more easily than this!

Then, on July 28, Venus joins the Sun in Leo for a lovely tryst that will color your life with a romantic glow. Venus loves parties and frivolity, and when paired with flamboyant, extravagant Leo, you'll be able to charm everyone in sight.

Not one to be left out, Mercury will also join the spotlight on July 28, when it moves into Virgo. You'll finally get the chance to finish all those seemingly smaller tasks, and your discussions will enjoy practical, satisfying outcomes. If you can avoid becoming bogged down with trivial details, your life will speed along swimmingly!

July 29 will see a temporary sag in energy as Mercury opposes Neptune. Your creative juices will be flowing, but you'll be too easily distracted to make real strides. Don't waste time trying to get (or give) straight answers to questions at this time -- it just won't happen.

Finally, on July 30, the Moon cozies up to the Leo Sun for a new Moon that will bring fresh beginnings, hints of new romances and a whirlwind of social activity. Let your inner light shine and show the world how talented you are!

flashfire several times over...


Adrian Paul... flashfire several times over...

Overheated maows, my sexy and sensational Pussycats... the severe heat took a ten degree dive this morning, so the Kougaress ventured out for her shopping/stock up trip into town before the heat nastiness continues this week... yowl about divine timing on several levels... the Kougaress was on the last stretch, heading for home on the gravel road... well, there’s this large S curve, and as she approached, this Big Cat got that spidey intuitive sense, and slowed down a bit more than her already cautious speed... sure enough, this white pickup comes flying toward the first curve in front of her, and begins this slide because the driver was going way too fast for the dry, dry conditions, and lost control. Dry dusty gravel is like sliding on ice. If the Kougaress hadn’t braked as quickly and firmly as she did, in the way she did... if she’d arrived a moment sooner... well, CRUNCH-KABOOM... it would have been bad, really bad... Also, the guy... yes, it was a guy driving... did slide into the ditch right in front this Big Cat... it looked like a scene out of a good ole boys action movie. So, Mr. Not Stunt Driver couldn’t spin his way out of the ditch... he had a cell, but no one immediate reachable... so, the Kougar gave him a ride to his house... she didn’t want him baking in that heat... there was no shade nearby, and no house close by... however, since the front seat was full of groceries, he had to sit in back with the big bag of doggie food... hey, better than walking about ten miles beneath the noon sun... there isn’t hardly any traffic on that road at that time... and on the way, no other car passed by... yep, that was this Big Cat’s unexpected adventure today. And, she didn’t get bloody-broken mooshed beyond recognition.

Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano

Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...

Angelic Forecast ~ #151

For the following week, it will seem like a year’s worth of events takes place. In a way that will be true. Right now, time is compressed as Earth, and the solar system, spin closer to the galactic center.

Truth, the truths hidden from humanity, will slam home faster than ever, and slam home with such force it will feel like getting smacked between the eyes. This continues for the rest of year, 2011.

Because of this, the global AWAKENING becomes a flashfire several times over, causing all of us to soar ever higher. Look for an increase of miracles in your personal life, as well as grand miracles worldwide.

THOSE on the dark side now crouch in fear, and fight to survive with acts of reprehensible violence aimed at dividing humanity against itself. Sadly, these forthcoming acts of soulless cruelty, are designed to be spotlighted on the world stage. They will also be relentless, and disguised as a series of racial and religious attacks.

This week’s theme will be ESCAPE. Given the rapid breakdown of the worldwide economy -- and the constant media fear-mongering -- the desire to escape will sweep through the hearts and minds of humanity.

Escape will be through any kind of entertainment venue -- TV, movies, music, books, electronic games, and social networking. Also, escape through the use of drugs, prescription and illegal, will see a dramatic increase.

This escape from reality, like everything in our world, is a double-edged sword. Escape as a dependence/addiction serves no one. While, escape for a time through reading, travel, or entertainments, is a vacation for the mind, and very healthy for the soul.

Trendwise, a modern version of the speakeasy will ‘seemingly’ pop up overnight, and remain, for the most part, in the underground. Much of the now rising, off-the-grid economy will revolve around this type of entertainment. Also noticeable, will be an angelic influence on products. This new influence sweeps on sweet swings over Mother Earth to bring forth a greater spiritual awareness.

Do whatever is necessary to stay cool enough this week, and help others whenever you can. Just make certain they mean you and your loved ones no harm.

Angelic blessings from Volcano & Sedona

Authoress news and mews ~

Meowsa Wowsa... is this Big Cat author missing the boatload of cashola for ManLove erotic romances/erotica. Siren-BookStrand publishing sent out an email about their record profits for this past quarter, and gave an idea of how much the topselling authors are making. Believe you me meows, if the Kougar could pen m/m and m/mmm authentically... if she had a story inside her, well, you bet your boots she’d be writing it. Also, menage and wolf/big cat shapeshifter menage is still a hot selling trend, but you need to write a lot of books fast... and that’s been this Big Cat’s downfall. She has all these erotic romance scenarios endlessly playing in her writerly imagination, and she hasn’t been able to get them written quickly enough.

Un-mooshed kisses from the Kougar...

An unrelenting heat took over...


After midnight yowls and howls, my summer-surviving Kittens... after a short time of sprinkling some rain, once again the unrelenting heat took over the tame prairie... although, for a time, the sky remained overcast, offering some relief... however, when the Kougaress awoke from her nap late tonight, omymeowyucks! The air was so still and hot it felt horrible, and then demonic. Yeah, demonic. For real.
~~~

Here’s an impromptu flash based on the phrase that came to mind to describe the summer heat.

An unrelenting heat took over, and she let a long moan slip from between her lips, her desire-softened lips. She remained standing beside the column, alone, and concealed by the partial shadow. Automatically, she clutched the night-cooled stone with one hand, and leaned against the pillar to support herself. He owned not a first clue how much she longed to feel every inch of his hard, muscle-rippling body against hers. He was a cad. A rounder. A man who expected to have his seductive way with a woman, then move on. She’d observed him from afar for so long now, she knew his every move, how his muscles flexed -- his powerful masculine rhythm as he walked among the guests, stopping to converse about deeply serious matters, as well as laughing whenever he shared humorous stories. Oh, she’d danced in his arms, only because it was required at these social events. She’d made a point of remaining aloof, and cold toward his polite words. Not that he displayed any real interest in her. Perhaps, that’s what tore at her insides more than anything, he’d never attempted to seduce her. Although, she knew if he ever did, it would nearly kill her to refuse him. Sighing, she pushed away from the column. Pants wracked her body. Her limbs quivered. Once the music began, she would be expected to surrender herself against him. Again.

Authoress news and mews ~

A mystery: The Kougar wonders WHY? is she listed at Samhain Publishing’s store? When she has never pubbed a book with Samhain. Of course, there is no product listed. So, this Big Cat author asked them in an email, WHY? And, she actually received a quick response. However, the link couldn’t be found, so this Big Cat author copied it from Google for them. Kinda weird, huh?

Good news, however! TANGERINE CARNAL DREAMS, the Kougar’s ebook with Aspen Mountain Press, has been uploaded to BookStrand, along with the other AMP books already there. FINALLY! Thank you, to the staff at AMP.

The JFK UFO Connection... stun your soul...


The Kougar was in the mood for this all too cute and sexy pic.

Overheated purrs, my darling Big Cats... the tame prairie is still baking beneath the sun and the heat is relentless... oh, bring on the rain... and what happened to all those gray days that went on for several years? Now, it’s blue skies, but not the lovely kind... it’s a harsh blistering blue.
~~~

Want some new information about JFK that will stun your soul, and blow your mind... well, listen to the latest Dreamland internet radio program at UNKNOWN COUNTRY.

Friday July 22, 2011
The JFK UFO Connection
One of the strangest and most ominous of all the strange stories about America's hidden history starts with an early UFO incident known as the 'Maury Island Incident,' and ends with the catastrophic death of John F. Kennedy. It is little known that JFK was actually among the very greatest revolutionaries in history. He was about to end the Federal Reserve, and he was about to disclose the truth about UFOs. Taken together, these two things would have changed our world completely, setting us on a completely different path. Instead, he was assassinated in Dealy Plaza--and Jim Garrison, the New Orleans District Attorney who investigated the assassination--discovered that an enigmatic participant in one of the first and weirdest UFO incidents, the Maury Island Incident, was also friendly with Lee Harvey Oswald and may have participated in the Kennedy assassination.

Listen as Whitley Strieber gets the skinny from Kenn Thomas, author of JFK & UFO. As Whitley says so often on Dreamland, "Fasten your seatbelts, folks, we're in for quite a ride!"

A New Hero Enters
by Solara

Cason kicked off his sandals and stepped out on to the sand. The beach was empty at this hour of the day. Most of the surfers and early morning joggers had left before the heat began staking its claim.

A few feet down the beach, Cason noticed an odd shape on the sand toward the water line. The tail fins looked different from the ones he'd seen deep sea fishing. And the color hue ran darker than most surface or mid-sea dwellers he'd encountered scuba diving. Was it a new species of whale? The tail didn't fit a dolphin's nor a whale's either. He sped up his gait as he saw the clouds clear revealing more sun on the section of beach he headed towards.

The New/Old Currency... it's time...

Big Cat swimming is a good thing, right now.

Late night mews with views, my weekender wise and wonderful Pussycats... yep, still hot-hot on the tame prairie... however, so far, claws crossed, there are no rolling brown outs, black outs... whatever... like Detroit is scheduled to get, or is getting... yowl and howl about a recipe for societal disaster, and a totally unnecessary one at that. There is plenty of energy to be had by using alcohol and/or hemp as a fuel, and by using solar energy systems, as well. This would be at a lesser cost to the consumer, once the systems are up and running.

Really, get out of the major cities, darling Big Cats, please. This is just the beginning of the madness.
~~~

The New/Old Currency... it’s time... back in the times of the Great Depression, there were communities, towns, and smaller cities where the people set up their own currency system sometimes called script. Obviously, they did quite well, overall, especially in comparison to those who remained at the mercy of the federal reserve dollar.

Given said ‘currently-devaluing-dollar’ is dropping like a rock into the depths of the Grand Canyon, with no hope of survival, and not that many gulps of air left... there are groups of folks setting up local currencies/economies, and buying products and services from each other.

One of these groups is in Austin, Texas, as talked about on the POWER HOUR radio show by Beth Taylor, independent entrepreneur. The Kougaress has heard of many others, who are follow a similar path. Catherine Austin Fitts ~ solari.com ~ big-time economic advisor, is leading the charge. How this Big Cat wishes she had such a local community.

The Sun Soars into Leo!

The sensitive Cancer Sun has been jarred, jerked and jolted by Pluto, Uranus and Saturn these last couple weeks, and it's resulted in a fairly bumpy month so far. But on July 23, as the Sun moves into fiery and flamboyant Leo, all the emotional turmoil will fade and you'll be excited to embrace everything the Universe throws your way!

Sitting comfortably in the fun-loving sign it rules, the Sun in Leo exudes confidence and a distinct joie de vivre. Leo is a sign that loves to party and socialize, and it wants nothing to do with the negative side of life! As such, you'll find that even if problems arise, they'll simply roll off your back and you'll be able to move on without even breaking stride.

These good times may not come cheaply, as Leo loves to live a five-star life. Still, right now fortune definitely favors the bold, so don't be afraid to grab life by the horns. Do everything with extra flair -- and have fun flaunting it!

Leo may enjoy being the center of attention and putting on a show for all to see, but this sign is also about being true to oneself.

From COAST TO COAST AM ~ 7-2-2011

In the second half, as the Shuttle prepared to land on its last mission, C2C Science advisor Richard C. Hoagland ~ enterprisemission.com ~ discussed what he views as coming "game changer" events. NASA, he said, was for once, telling the truth about data they've been receiving from a space exploration-- in this case, sharing revealing photos of the Vesta asteroid, sent back by the Dawn spacecraft. Hoagland suggested that the Vesta photos show evidence of geometric shapes that indicate ruins. The asteroid may in fact be a huge space station built by a Type 2 civilization, he announced.

The other game changer is the arrival of comet Elenin, which will make its closest pass on 9/11/11, and demonstrates numerical evidence of being artificially made, he continued. The object is on a hyperbolic trajectory which means that it has never passed the sun before. Hoagland theorized that the comet could be a kind of time capsule, possibly sent to us by an Atlantean civilization around 13,000 years ago.

Hubble spies fourth moon at Pluto
By Jonathan Amos Science correspondent, BBC News

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have identified another moon around the dwarf planet Pluto.

It becomes the fourth object known to be circling the distant world after the long-recognised Charon and recently observed Nix and Hydra satellites.

Scientists are temporarily calling the new moon P4 and estimate its diameter to be 13 to 34 km (of 8 to 21 miles).

Pluto, controversially demoted from full planet status in 2006, will be the target of a big space mission in 2015.

Casino World... the not-fun one...


Late night ‘verra hot’ meows, my pool-side, pretty Kittens... and not ‘hot’ as in sexy and real damn inspiring hot... like Daniel Craig in the upcoming movie, Cowboys and Aliens... where this pic is from. The Kougaress may have to get the DVD, if this film proves worthy.

But blast-furnace hot, at least for awhile on the tame prairie. Oh, do take care, Kittens. Take lots of water wherever you travel, just in case you get stranded somewhere for a time.
~~~

Not in the mood for a downer? Don’t read the following. That’s a fair warning, isn’t it, my darling Big Cats?

Casino World... the not-fun one... Long ago, in a world now seemingly far away, this Big Cat made a few visits to Las Vegas... she won’t go into the ‘personal’ details... suffice it to say, given she has a very curious nature, and is an observer of life, of people... she made a personal study of her surroundings, and of everyone she saw, both outside and inside the casinos. At that time, money flowed like water. You could feel it. You could observe it in the way people acted and carried themselves.

The money game was easy. Alluring. Seductive. For those who knew the ins and outs of the game. For those who played it well.

However, given the current economy, and the fact Vegas leads in the number of foreclosures... the money no longer flows like water, except for those on the inside, and the top elite.

But to continue... Las Vegas has a decided and infamous atmosphere. It’s gaudy out the wazoo and bright as sin. When the Kougaress was there, the ads, the billboards were overbearingly cheesy, and neon-blatant in that way that makes you stop and look whether you want to or not.

While there were certain things about Vegas that were definitely appealing... the incredible magical entertainment, the sun, the pools... the freedom to be glittery if you wanted. At that time, there was a freedom to dress in any way you wanted... no Puritan-disapproval, looking down the nose attitudes.

However, to get to the point. A few days ago, it struck this Big Cat how much being on the internet is like being in Vegas. The negative side of Vegas, that is. It’s endless hype and illusion, as far as all the in-your-face, all-the-time-with-no-relief advertising. Most of what is advertised are scams, the ads designed to get you hooked in, get your info, and get your money. Just like a good prostitute.

The Casino Economy, that’s what Max Kaiser has called the failed and failing, floundering economy that has been forced upon us. Can’t argue. Derivatives are just another name for gambling. The mafia banksters own the game, and hid themselves long enough to steal our country blind. Trillions upon trillions of dollars blind. And, they’re still at it. Hey, who’s going to stop them?

Really, who?

Now, because these mafia elite have gotten away with it, they’re planning to take over the world instead of only the neighborhood. And, really, these days, it is like living in a casino world. The house holds and deals all the cards. The house pays and owns all the muscle. And, there is nothing but uncertainty, nothing but the roll of the dice, at times... one spin of the roulette wheel may get you through the day, through the month, maybe through the year... or, the next spin could put you out on the streets with America’s homeless. The huge and ever-growing numbers of the homeless that include many of our veterans. Most of these people did nothing wrong. They were conned by the system. They were played, scammed, gamed, bamboozled... used and abused.

Yeah, and now ... well, why should anyone get the social security THEY paid into the system to receive? That’s like having a savings account, paying into it faithfully for a couple of decades, only to have it all stolen by some unscrupulous creep.

The ravings of an obsessed mind...
by Rebecca Gillan

Today's blog post is brought to you by a mind completely obsessed with George R.R. Martin’s “A Dance With Dragons.” I got little and less done this week because said book was released last Tuesday. As I didn’t plan ahead and write anything before I sat down to read that lovely tomb of medieval magic and mummery, I had to wing it. In the spirit of shape shifter sexiness, I have prepared a bit of flash fiction involving the sexiest werewolf on TV right now: Jon Snow from “A Game of Thrones.” He also qualifies as a nice bit of dark and brooding eye candy. Enjoy!
