It's the start of the Master's Golf Tournament. It's a golf event held at the all men's club in Augusta. However there's a problem this year as the club has always made the CEO's of the major sponsors members. The CEO of IBM: Ginni Rometty one of 12 female CEO's in the Fortune 500. It was IBM that pressured golf clubs to end discrimination and allow black members in 1990. Yes. 1990, not 1890 or 1960, amazing. So I got to thinking how I discriminate and what does the word mean. So I went searching. It's from a Latin term meaning to divide. Now when it isn't referring to human beings discriminating can helpful. I descriminate smells dividing them into pleasant and more like the cat box needs cleaning. I'm descriminating when it comes to music, dividing my work out music on my iPod from the music I listen to while stretching in yoga. I was doing just that to some Pat Metheny Map of the World music when I got so relaxed I just laid on the floor and listened. I actually felt the music tickling my ear hairs. I mean those tiny little ones, oh crap I'm not going to get out of this with any dignity. So to change the subject totally I saw this on the web.....an amazing treehouse.
It's National Walk day. It's a sponsored event by the American Heart Association. I like to walk. I used to speed walk, but since the broken legs, I can't get the momentum. So now I stroll, not for excercise, but for meditation. I remember hearing about a craze generations ago, called Walking the Tortoise or something like that. It was done by the "cool" dudes who would saunter from store front to store front with no particular place to go. I've enjoyed the thought of that and have been trying to train my mind to slow down. It's my effort to support the "Slow movement". On the speedier side of things I've gotten into treadmill dancing. I don't go over 3 mph, but I get more upper body movement by pumping my arms sometimes in a boxing move, sometimes like a flying machine. I've gotten good enough I can do the grapevine sideways on the belt. I do get blisters, but my feet have never looked this bad. Margo
So reports are one of the winning tickets bought in Maryland is already causing problems. The woman who claims she has it, says she bought it for herself and it wasn't part of the batch she bought for the group she works with at McDonalds.

Thailand-based artists Chadwick Gray and Laura Spector, whose series “Museum Anatomy” we first spotted over at Lost at E Minor, recreate elaborate paintings on Chadwick’s body, rescuing ”lost, stolen, unknown, destroyed or otherwise unpopular paintings usually found in museum storage facilities” and giving them a new life as body paintings and then as photographs.
These might look like photographs, but it's not all black and white when it comes to the work of this artist. Despite looking like they have been captured on a camera, these are actually hand-drawn images created by hyperrealist artist Paul Cadden. The 47-year-old, from Scotland, is able to recreate photos in amazing detail, often just using only a pencil. From the wrinkles on a woman’s face, a puff of smoke from a cigarette or dripping water - Cadden's drawings look unbelievably realistic.
