So, You Want to be a Star

Isn’t this picture absolutely stunning, KitKats? Here’s the article ~

Kaleidoscope in the sky: The swirling star trail taking centre stage high above Mount Everest

By Daily Mail Reporter

It looks like an Artex paint finish so beloved by suburban households in the 1970s.

But this amazing images is actually a swirling star trail above Mount Everest in the Himalayas.

Photographer Anton Jankovoy spent months camping at the foot of the world's highest peak patiently waiting for the right weather conditions.

The 23-year-old was so determined not to leave until he had accomplished his mission that he even began meditating to overcome the freezing temperatures.

After three years dedicated to the project, Mr Jankovoy finally caught a series of stunning star trails.

Landmark peaks including the Annapurna South and the Hiunchuli can be seen in the spectacular images which took hours to capture and expose.

Mr Jankovov, from Zhytomyr in the Ukraine, said: 'I adore photography, especially landscapes because I can just sit there and observe the nature around me. It's so peaceful.

'But because star trail images need very long shutter speeds they take a lot of patience.

'I've learnt how to endure the freezing cold by meditating. It's surprising but it really helps.

'Although I started taking photographs when I was nine years old I really learnt to cultivate my skills when taking photographs in the mountains.

'All my childhood I dreamt about mountains and hoped to visit Nepal one day.

Raging spunky greetings, my lucky plucky Pussycats... the wind was cold on the tame prairie today... however, it was only partly cloudy... and! The Kougaress just saw stars!!! there was Orion’s belt... Oh, how she misses seeing the stars when she gazes out her window at night these days... away, overcast skies, away!
~~~

So, You Want to be a Star... this insight came about a week or so ago... with all the mania around the whole hype-celebrity thing, or TV and Movie *stars*, as if they are heavenly beings beyond us mere mortals who have ‘not’ been designated as STARS by the entertainment establishment... well, this Big Cat recalled in her musings, that, long, long ago she’d read an astrological analysis of the baby boomer generation... succinctly put, this generation will know that they are each stars, each one a star in their own right, and in their ability to shine forth creatively... they will know, at their core, they are star stuff... they will know that each individual is meant to shine like a star in their own life... and each individual star is included in the grand firmament that is life.

So, what happened? That inner knowing, that inner brightness has been co-opted, brutalized out of us, by THOSE serving the dark corruption threatening our precious world.

BOOGALU

by rita@ salsacrazy.com

Boogalu (a.k.a. Boogaloo), a fusion of Rhythm and Blues and Cuban son montuno, was popular in the United States from 1966-69. Boogalu was the first contemporary Latin music form that captured my attention because of its funky sounds, engaging choral chants by the audience, English lyrics, references to symbols of African American culture (“cornbread, hog maws and chitlins”), and background sounds of raucous party goers. Boogalu was a highly successful crossover musical style, capturing the attention of audiences who were previously not familiar with Latin music.

Boogalu resonated particularly with African American audiences. Performers such as Jimmy Sabater and Joe Cuba clearly state that Boogalu was inspired by the interaction between African American dancers and Latin musicians in New York at nightclubs such as Palm Gardens Ballroom. They recount stories of how the structure and tone of Boogalu songs such as “Bang, Bang” were developed in an effort to appeal to African American dancers who were not responding to their traditional mambos and cha cha chas. Many of the Boogalu musicians report that they were also deeply influenced by the R+B, jazz and Doo Wap bands of that era. Music historian Juan Flores, in his seminal work on Boogalu entitled “Cha Cha with a Backbeat, suggests that the song title and refrain “ I Like It Like That” may have some roots in a 1961 R+B tune with the same name composed by Chris Kenner, from New Orleans.

Witchy wahooooo! Another chapter is finished. Just two or three more chapters to go for the Kougar’s WIP ~ Kandy Apple and Her Hellhounds. Claws, toes, fingers, whiskers crossed that will happen very soon. Oh, please, please... oh, great writerly divine...

Okay, this snippet, from the latest chapter doesn’t reveal much... still, here it is, unedited, of course, except for yours cat truly...

Chapter Fifty-Two ~ Unholy, Holier-than-thou Prick

Zol wrapped his arm around his spirited Kandy Apple, embracing her protectively against his body. Mentally, he growled at the approach of the two DOD agents.

Feeling the red flash of his eyes, he snapped his gaze to Zin for the briefest moment. Already, they had been surrounded by the DOD detail.

“No,” the Major replied. “There is no problem. My manners are lacking.”

“Perhaps, you would care to join us at our table, Major Odarran,” Zin invited. “Not to brag. However, we are known for our savoir-faire.”

“Are you certain there’s no problem, Major?” The woman raked her gaze over their faces, after an icy stare that rivaled an aggravated Valkyrie.

"I've known Tongson for some time. Let's say longer than many folks would believe."

Mickey nodded. "Night Hawk said an old friend was visiting. He refused to share more." Her hand gripped the spread and bunched it twice before letting the chenille clump go.

Octavia patted her hand and leaned closer. "I see you haven't learned the age old adage about men."

Quincy's Woman Coming Soon
by Gem Sivad

I'm loving my new cover created by Ellora's Cave artist, Syneca for my coming soon book, Quincy's Woman. This story started as a 2,500 word Free Read titled The Journal of Lucy Quince.

The original was written in the format of a diary as a narrative of a young woman's first year of marriage exploring both the sensual side of a relationship, the erotic heat that can unite two very different people, and the incredible challenges a woman faced in 1867 Texas.

Trickster Message?

Night yowls, my phenomenal and phantasm-lovely Big Cats... it was a lovely dry-air day on the tame prairie... the butterflies were flitting and frisking about... the tomato plantlies are still growing... very early this morning the coyotes howled nearby, so close it felt stomach-turning eery and the Kougaress wondered if Coyote Spirit had a message... message, or not, the tricksters in life are large and trying to stay in charge... wouldn’t it be nice to ‘trick’ them out of power? Turn the trickster tables... ROARS and claws and ripping fangs!!!

Meows of every blessing to all those devastated by the tornadoes in the upper Midwest. It’s going to be a bumpy stormy rest of the year. Keep one ear tuned, darling KitKats.

No Flash-ing today, but the Kougar has made some good progress on Kandy Apple for Halloween these past few days... here’s an action-magic ‘unedited’ snippet ~

Aching to charge inside, they mind-focused on their witch, gazing within the warehouse to know how they should help her.

The thirteen sorceresses fired their wands from every direction. Flame bolts shot from Kandace’s fingertips intercepting the hail of incoming energy bullets. Meant to stun and weaken her into submission, the constant barrage appeared unending.

Kandace stood beside the shipping crate where her sister had been trapped. With her force nearly exhausted, she leaned down, flattening her palm on the bubble shield she’d conjured to protect her sister. Still shooting flame from one hand, she created an escape portal that tunneled beyond the warehouse’s nearest wall.

“Run!” she yelled. “Merri, run!”

Her sister hesitated. As one, Zol and Zin yanked Merri through the portal using their power. Sailing her through the ethers, they set her down beside her car, now being searched by a police woman.

BIG CAT Commentary... sadly, it appears the whole review thing on Amazon has merely become a cutthroat game among some romance authors... while the same infantile stupidity may be occurring in the other genres as well, moi doesn’t know anything about that, since she could care less and doesn’t give one rat’s claw, anyway... however, she *does care* that her author friends are being hurt by this petty behavior... hopefully, most readers remain wise enough to choose those books they really wish to read.

These taxes are to be used as corporate WELFARE for the so-called MAINSTREAM MEDIA, or in other words you don’t get to choose to subscribe to a dead-tree newspaper because of content... no, you’ll be taxed to pay for their survival, whether you want them to survive, or not... whether you want to read their content, or not.

Part 525 ~

Sylva stilled inside, her mind blown wide apart, so it felt. “There could be a whole network of Earths... I don’t know for certain. I haven’t seen it psychically. Yet,” she paused, attempting to gather her thoughts, the insubstantial ones floating just out of her reach. Meanwhile, she heard the quick strength of her cowboy’s breaths. “I wouldn’t put it past those evil varmints. Sure enough, the Secret Circle will be usin’ every means possible to gain power. I was on my way to...” A low insistent tone interrupted. “It’s dad,” Zeke explained. “Must be important, darlin’ mine. I’ll be back.”

Zeke gentled them apart. Leaning over, he planted a kiss on her sweet lips. “I was on my way to talk about the Silver Sun Prophecy with dad. Looks like it might have been faked. Or, they tried to fake it.” Rising reluctantly, he pivoted toward his garments and pulled them on quick. “I’ll be okay,” she said, when he glanced back at his woman. ”Try to get some sleep, Sylva. If I’m going be gone long, I’ll come get you.” She nodded again, then rested her head on the pillow. “Weather manipulation,” she offered. “What better way to control people?”

Rain, Rain, Won't Go Away

Thunder rumblies, my precious and precocious Big Kittens... rain, rain, won’t go away... and, it’s probably a good thing for the tame prairie, overall... still, there is the danger of more flooding in the general area... though, the Kougaress is still high and dry... and, so far, no real problems as long as travel isn’t necessary... then, meowsa, wet paws!
~~~
Yep and more pep, the Kougar is claw-penning away on Kandy Apple... and omy, the passion is extreme and has become very purple, indeed, as in an etheric cauldron of their energies mingling and joining into a triad of power.

Snippet or snipped from KANDY APPLE FOR HALLOWEEN ~

“Kandace. My Kandy Apple.” Zin kept her ass tight against his loins, savoring the incomparable carnal feel of her.
“It’s begun,” Zol announced.
“Yes, the smell of Irises in bloom.” Zin slitted his gaze enough to witness the purple mist forming around them.
“Irises,” she murmured, “the fragrance is divine.” Lifting her head, their witch rested her chin on Zol’s chest.
Tenderly, he embraced her head and raised her face, so their lips sealed in a long kiss that Zin felt as a rapturous zap of lightning straight up his shaft.

This BIG CAT’S FUNNY BONE ~

Reena Jacobs has left a new comment on the post "What's With the Hair?!" at ROMANCE WRITERS BEHAVING BADLY ~

I'm very much into hair on men. From a distance, it's one of the first things noticeable. Even if his features aren't visible, his hair is. :) Front, back, side--it doesn't matter which angle I come at a man...I get a glimpse of hair, unless he's Mister Clean, of course.

Maybe I take hair a little too far. I choose and supervise my husband's haircuts so I can be sure he leaves the shop looking as sexy as ever. I want great length, style, and texture.

His secondary asset gets almost as much attention from me as his primary asset. :)

BEWARE OF THAT UNDERWEAR DUST!!!!!!

One evening a husband, thinking he was being funny, said to his wife, 'Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in 'Slim Fast'. Maybe it would take a few inches off your butt!'

His wife was not amused, and decided that she simply couldn't let such a comment go unrewarded.

The next morning, the husband took a pair of underwear shorts out of his drawer. 'What the Hell is this?' he said to himself as a little 'dust' cloud appeared when he shook them out.

'April', he hollered into the bathroom, 'Why did you put talcum powder in my underwear?'

She replied with a snicker. 'It's not talcum powder --
it's 'Miracle Grow'!!!!!

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 507 ~

Sylva pressed her knuckles on Zeke’s arch and slid them upwards over several acupressure points. Damn, if it didn’t feel good to work on a man who truly seemed to appreciate her efforts. Not to mention his foot felt oh-so-sexy and dammit, virile. “Those are some talented knuckles you have, darlin’ mine. But don’t you go expendin’ too much energy.” A sense of alarm struck Sylva’s middle. “Oops, am I pressing too hard, tenderfoot?” She’d said it lightly, yet.... “You’re pressing too darn right, wife. I’m gettin’ spoiled. And, I mean it about your energy. Don’t want my woman overdoing.”

Zeke recognized sheer talent when it was used on his foot. His beautiful Sylva had a real natural way of healing. Not only did she press all the right spots, but he zinged with her healing energy, clear up to the crown of his head. Course, he figured it all worked together with her psychic abilities. Gently pulling his foot from her before she spent any more energy on him, Zeke straightened some and lazily motioned. “Come on over here, darlin’ mine. I think I need a kiss from those sweet lips of yours.” She smiled naughtily. “If you insist.”

Sylva tugged her husband’s shirt free. Before she could do anything else, he gently caught her wrists and brought her hands up to his chest. “Returning the favor,” she murmured. “That kind of favor is going arouse me something fierce. And, right now, I want us both relaxin’, little darlin’.” Bending over, he planted a sizzling kiss on her lips. He swept an arm beneath her legs, lifting her into his embrace. “Ooooh, I like a man who is ready for action,” she crooned, feeling somewhat naughty. “But, you’re right, I’m worn out.” He carried her to the sunken tub.

Zeke held his precious bride above the water. “Dip your toe in. Test the temperature.” Clinging onto his neck, she dangled her leg, then swirled her big toe. “Oh, nice and warm. Automatic shut-off?” she asked as the tub quit filling. “Yep, darlin’ mine. Not too hot?” He lowered her a bit more so that her foot entered the whirling water. “Feels perfect, handsome.” As soon as she could, she gained her feet and Zeke let go. He watched her slip down into the tub and recline before stepping back to remove his garments. “You make a darn pretty sight, Sylva.”

In a Surprising Move, HAL IS BACK

Pic from ~ http://computerweekly.com/galleries ~

Late evening meows, my beloved and bold Big Cats... the Kougaress survived another shopping trek... the land is green-vibrant gorgeous! The sky was an incredible robin eggs’ blue. And when she arrived home, she actually saw a real contrail. That is a jet flying relatively high with a short white tail of condensation.

Yep, in a surprising time-travel move, HAL has regenerated his computer bits and bites, or HAL has been regenerated, and is back from the future, or is that the past... or ??? Okay, really, time is just a somewhat useful construct.

So, in 2010, the infamous HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey is apparently alive and doing quite well these days. If you live in Pennsylvania you may have seen the commercial about the evil generic Tom, who *supposedly* hasn’t paid the state taxes. Yes, the generated-sounding voice is female... but, hey, how easy would it be for Hal to disguise his voice in this tech age? When this Big Cat heard that commercial she had a wild uncontrollable urge to unplug, or pull the plug on the amoral villainy of HAL... Dave... Dave... I’m dying, Dave... Dave... don’t Dave... Die commercial die! Got an axe, Tom? Put it to good use. Don’t bother unplugging, just swing away... bash and crash... kill the damn thing. Smash it to smithereens. Get out your super-charged magnet and wipe it’s memory, just in case. Then, run like hell before the eyes in the sky can get a GPS beam on you.

Now, there’s a blockbuster movie plot. You don’t owe the damn tax, but the computer says you do... no trial by jury... the computer and those who program it are judge, jury and your executioner, that is, if you don’t pay and pay and pay again... yep, you’re just guilty until proven... in fact, you can never prove you’re innocent. Machines aren’t programmed to rat themselves out. They are programmed to act as false gods. Run, Tom, Run! ... We can find you, Tom, there’s nowhere to run. There’s no place to hide, Tom. We can see you wherever you go. We can find you, Tom. Good news, Tom, you are now scheduled to be today’s featured event on Facebook. Run, Tom, you are marked for extermination.... marked for extermination... marked for extermination... run, Tom. Everyone is watching.
Precisely, there are 1,343,265 viewers... run, Tom.

HEY, Hollywood, why aren’t you pounding on the Kougar’s creative door? Oh, that’s right, mostly *you all* steal other’s ideas and books, hiring your own writers.

Sylva took a peek at her husband’s face. More and more her heart opened to him. God, she hoped it wasn’t with disastrous consequences. Course, one situation at a time. Now was now. And, now she loved leaning on her cowboy, loved feeling his arms around her, loved that he was actually concerned about her. “Come on, little darlin’, let’s go explore the niceties of the swirly tub. I know I could do with some relaxation. By the way, have I told you how brave you are?” He cuddled her closer, his palm cradling the side of her head. “Brave.”

Zeke asked, “Brave?” His Sylva slightly nodded. “You, you’re brave, big handsome cowboy.” Everything glowed inside Zeke as if he was made of sweet embers. “Just doin’ my job as your devoted husband, darlin’ mine,” he murmured. “Devoted,” she repeated. “I like the sound of that. Though, I hope... never mind. Thank you for being so brave and strong. For...for doing what’s right. That was lacking on my Earth.” Zeke figured anything that needed talkin’ about would best be addressed later. Right now, he wanted to take care of his wife and settle his own thoughts toward their protection.

BTW, did you know that some university professors are outsourcing these days? Yep, if you have a student, in some cases, it won’t be the professor or her/his assistants grading your precious daughter or son’s papers, it will be someone in India. Yep, you read that right. INDIA. Nothing against the intelligent folks in India, but have they really earned the knowledge to grade papers from a different culture? And, what happened to the guiding hand of the professor?
But, hey, it’s all just part of globalization. Right???

Oh, and news you may want to know, but aren’t getting from the corporate media. Not just the country of Greece, but many countries are financially imploding and there are Big Time burning riots all over Europe over it. It will probably only get much, much worse. People are tired of the lies and tired of being conned out of their lives by the IMF, by other Banksters and all those in collusion with them.

ONE ~
Ignored as usual, she swayed to the sultry rhythms as she sat, occasionally sipping on the old-fashioned Sangria. It was the usual crowd, couples making themselves hotter, their bodies twined together like pretzels. And those who despised dancing, thinking the art of the music was all. Shaking her hair, she missed the man headed her way. A viking of a man. His golden russet mane waved below his shoulders...had he stepped off a dragon ship? Stunned as he strode toward her, she drank in his muscled thighs, impressive beneath leather pants.
“Dance with me,” he commanded, extending his hand.

Trepidation raced through her like wildfire. Instantly, her palms became clammy. His sheer size made her feel like cowering, not to mention all that mass of hard muscle. He could probably snap her like a twig, even if she wasn’t the 60's model, Twiggy.
Still, the command of his icy azure eyes and his domineering stance compelled her to extend her own hand. And something else, her own sharp prick of curiosity. Why would a man like him want to dance with her? The drive to know why had her standing up. He clasped her hand.
“Your beauty pleases me.”

THREE ~
Shocked to say the least, Kayanna moved before him simply because he compelled it. Holding her hand in a strange courtly fashion, he peered down at her from what looked like nosebleed height.
His gaze, somehow blazing and somehow frigid, made a survey of her face. Kayanna felt plundered. Only it was the kind of plunder she’d fantasized about...wickedly delicious, turn-me-on plunder. She’d never dared believe it could ever be real.
All she really wanted was to dance, feel his body up close and personal. To be polite, she asked, “What’s your name?”
“Later, I will reveal my name.”

Dance scene snippet [unedited] ~ KANDY APPLE FOR HALLOWEEN

Not doubting that for a second, Kandace followed him as he walked backwards with a dancer’s lithe power. The dark glisten of his eyes compelled her to match his movements.

“Zin.”

The sensation of her body flowing toward him became real as his arm clasped her waist and he pressed her against his virility. That’s what he felt like, hard polished virility. His beast smoky scent didn’t merely fill her nostrils, but seeped into every crevice of her, including her sweltering sex crevice.

Zin dreamily whirled her onto a surface meant for dancing. Like magic, ceiling lights created a silvery blue radiance around them. In her head Ella Fitzgerald’s beyond-compare voice crooned what Kandace felt.

“You do that something to me, that something that simply mystifies me,” she sang just for Zin.

He paused, draping her over his arm, his gaze blatant with desire, yet lit with curiosity.

“Tell me why should it be,” she throatily continued, “you have the power to hypnotize me?”

“My Kandy Apple,” he rasped so seductively, she wasn’t quite prepared for his next move.

With utter ease, he twirled her, then brought her flush against him. He swayed her body with such suave demand, Kandace clung to him, molten to her core.

Definitely magic, the melody from Cole Porter’s song enveloped them.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 483 ~

Sylva cocked her head, fascinated by what Nevada said. “The technicians are in heaven studying the design,” he continued. “Some newfangled advancement I don’t understand.” He paused as Eduardo whispered in his ear. “Snake is being right cooperative, so far, telling all he knows.” Nevada glanced at her, then at his son. “Why don’t you two settle in? I think it’s handled for now.” Taking a step forward, Sylva offered her hand. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Vintorr.” His answering smile blew her away, it was so welcoming. Bowing his head briefly, he took her hand, pressing it between his.

Zeke allowed the happiness swelling his heart to reign in the following moments. His precious Sylva already belonged to his family, and was treasured in a way she probably didn’t understand, yet. Squeezing her shoulders, he gave a nod to his dad, then pivoted them back down the corridor. “There’s so much good in your world, that I’ve seen so far.” His wife clasped hands with him affectionately. “It’s overwhelming, actually.” Zeke rumbled a chuckle. “You’re overwhelming, darlin’ mine. And I mean you.” She giggled a bit, swinging his hand. “Do you mean, not because of my talents, but me?”
