![]() ![]() The holly and evergreen boughs we use to decorate at Christmas-time is a nod to the old beliefs in the immortality and longevity of trees. Yggdrasil is an ash tree in Norse mythology on which Odin hung himself and received the wisdom of the runes. Trees are the center of hundreds of myths and creation stories worldwide. Find Ogham and runic divination sets online or in metaphysical shops. ![]() Both are used today for divination purposes. In contrast to the Elder Futhark runes with their distinctive markings, the Ogham is a series of slashes. Each “letter” is representative of a sacred Celtic tree. Following this divine gift, the Ogham was used as an alphabet and has sacred spiritual meaning. ![]() The Norse god Odin was given the Elder Futhark, while the Celtic god Ogma was given the Ogham. Just as the Norse were given the elder futhark runes as a sacred alphabet, the Celts were given the Ogham tree alphabet. These were: the alder, ash, apple, aspen, birch, blackthorn, elder, gorse, hawthorn, hazel, heather, holly, ivy, mistletoe, oak, reed, rowan, scots pine, vine, willow, and yew trees. According to the Celtic tree calendar, the Celtic people honored 21 sacred trees. They’re rings of wooden beams or trees used as sanctuaries. Ancient woodhenges are all over England and Ireland, which is essentially the wooden equivalent of Stongehenge. Because the Druids were so connected to the trees, it makes sense other cultures would refer to them as tree spirits. Moreover, the word “druid” is originally came from “dryad” which was the Greek term for tree nymphs. The Druid priesthood met in forest groves to perform their rituals. The Celts believed trees had consciousness. I believe our connection with trees is in our DNA and tree magic is reawakening within us. Trees not only provide us with shade and oxygen, they also provide food, medicine, therapy, and magic. Sadly, people in modern times spend 2/3 of their lifetime inside, which means most of the time they are away from nature. Gazing up into their highest branches, leaning against them as I read, and just enjoying their quiet energy. Our Ancestors’ Tree Magicĭo you have an undying love for trees? As a child, did you climb trees and spend hours playing in the forest? As a child, one of my favorite things was spending time among the trees. We’ll learn how to harness the potent energy of trees to make our own unique, green magic come to life. Let’s dive into tree magic of the Celts, including the magical properties of trees and Ogham – the sacred tree alphabet. We hear so much about the magic of herbs and crystals, but what about tree magic? Did you know our Celtic ancestors worshiped trees? Our ancestors believed trees housed powerful spirits and sometimes even gods themselves. ![]()

![]() ![]() You have a good time."Įdwards, if he runs, would be considered a longshot to replace Republican Rep. You talk to civic groups and black churches. "From his standpoint, it would be a fun thing to do," says Maginnis, the author of two books about Edwards, including The Last Hayride, which tracked his path to a third term as governor. His participation in the show, Maginnis of muses, was "all about Trina – keeping the young wife happy." But that, and a possible run for Congress, also feed the former governor's sizable sense of self. The governor, resisting the notion that he needed to be present in the delivery room: "New born babies are ugly in my opinion."įor those who missed all eight episodes that aired last year before the network cancelled it, one of the "highlights" was their baby "gender reveal party." The widely-panned reality show on cable network A&E, the home of Duck Dynasty and Storage Wars Texas, featured Edwards and his third wife, Trina, 35, at home and engaged in all manner of set-ups – from a tangle over electricity use (he's more frugal), to a visit with a nurse helping them prepare for their baby's arrival. Though practiced in the art of entertainment (he once described an opponent as so slow it took him an hour and a half to watch 60 Minutes), Edwards sharpened his look-at-me technique during the recently-cancelled show, The Governor's Wife. The "will he or won't he" question remained unanswered Thursday when, during a local radio interview, Edwards averred that he'd made up his mind, but wasn't ready to make the big reveal. "I think he enjoys that he still drives people crazy – the good folks at the Baton Rouge Country Club are gritting their teeth." "We're on pins and needles down here," joked John Maginnis, longtime syndicated political columnist and founder of Baton Rouge-based. If elected, Edwards would be serving his second stint in Congress: He served there from 1965 to 1972, when he won the first of four terms as governor. It was long before the Democrat served eight years in prison for racketeering, conspiracy and extortion.Īnd it was a lifetime – or two - before a recent cringe-inducing reality television show about life with his young wife, her teenage sons and his own grandmother-aged daughters from a previous marriage.īut the ex-con, released from federal prison in early 2011, is teasing Louisianans once again, hinting that he may be considering a run for Congress for an open Baton Rouge-area seat. That was 30 years ago, when Edwards, 86, was a much younger man. Edwin Edwards was once so confident about re-election that he declared "the only way I can lose is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy."

Some "premium" whiskeys really are quite terrible, while some mass market products are good enough to pour into a decanter and serve to the Duke of Edinburgh. The following indicators should be taken as only a guide and not a set of hard and fast rules. The Whiskey Reviewer uses a letter-based rating system, instead of the numerical 100-grade rating system. The finish picks up on the peppery, dry aspect of the scent, winding down with some light warmth.Įxpect a 750ml bottle of Jura 10 Year Old to run you $50. Once again, it’s simple stuff, so simple that it’s missing some elements that were present on the nose and without anything new taking up the gap. On the palate, it’s got a silky texture, and a flavor that smacks of malty cereals and apples, with just a touch of anise to make things interesting. It’s a simple, but well-rounded and balanced scent, and very much in tune with what one might imagine for an Islands single malt. The nose has a soft, sweetly honeyed cereal base, joined with dabs of peat smoke, pepper and dry oak. The liquid is somewhat viscous, leaving just a few legs after a swish and those resembling the veins of a leaf. In the glass, Jura 10 Year Old has a lightly coppered, golden appearance, something like apple juice. Finally, the whisky is now known to be aged in ex-bourbon barrels and finished in Sherry butts. The American bottling is 40% ABV, just like the rest of the world. Now the “Origin” is gone, so it’s simply Jura 10 Year Old. Once upon a time there were two versions of this release, a 43% ABV, 750ml bottling for the American market and a 40% ABV, 70cl bottling for the rest of the world, and both were once titled “Origin.” Jura 10 Year Old is the core expression in the distillery’s single malt line, and has gone through at least three changes of appearance and titling since my first exposure to Jura 10 Year Old some years ago. It’s presently part of the Whyte & Mackay portfolio, which in turn is owned by the Filipino company Emperador (itself part of Alliance Global Group). Jura Distillery dates back to 1810, before the easing of restrictions on distillation under the Excise Act of 1823 that effectively legalized Scotch production. It’s a mountainous and boggy island, and it’s main claims to fame are having more deer than people, that George Orwell retreated there to write 1984 and its whisky distillery. Jura is an island in the Inner Hebrides, north of and adjacent to Islay. It’s been a while since we’ve touched on Jura single malts (several years for me in particular), so I think a little reintroduction is in order. ![]() ![]() ![]() I guess I sort of took his advice, except I started a game studio instead of joining a crappy one and then never went back to Microsoft. We go out to lunch for our first "mentorship session" and his is advice to me is, I shit you not, to quit Microsoft, find a crappy game design job, and then come back to Microsoft after a few years. That same creative director found me another game designer in MGS to act as a mentor and help me figure out if and how I could shift to a more design-focused role at Microsoft. Story of my life.Īctually, that's kind of a depressing story, so I'll leave you with a better one. So there I am, sitting in a conference room, completely outranked by MGS executives wondering who the fuck I am and why I was there. There was a meeting scheduled inside MGS to talk about plans to bring Minecraft to Xbox 360, and our creative director (who also worked with the XBLA team) thought it'd be a good idea to bring me along, since I had made Infiniminer and that might be relevant. ![]() I was a programmer, but everyone on the team knew I wanted to be a game designer (especially considering I had designed and launched SpaceChem by that point). Toward the end of my career at Microsoft I worked briefly on a team inside Microsoft Game Studios making games for Windows Phone 7. Thanks for all the great questions! I'll leave you with one final story, which I don't think I've ever told before: it's time to ask me ANYTHING!ĮDIT: It's been 10 hours, so we're probably done here.

![]() Sadly, one of the larger injustices thrust upon this poor, hapless E-350 is the Chevrolet tail lights. The yards of tape gleefully slathered all over this Ford certainly add to its curb weight, but can you imagine this rig in nothing but white? The amount of sunlight reflecting from its body surfaces would blind a person. The acres of tape adorning the flanks are a result of the 1980s pasteurization of 1970s era kitsch. Nor is it a shrinking violet, a vehicle that will effortlessly blend into the scenery. Their rear bumpers line up perfectly to show the difference in their length. For illustrative purposes, this is our subject vehicle parked next to a Ford Transit. The first thing one notices is the sheer size of this rig. The result does possess a swell behind the drivers compartment, but it’s roughly the same width as the trailer it was designed to tow, and allows for the availability of a bed in the cab for on-the road snoozing. The area directly behind the driver’s seat of the Cabriolet is a combination of factory van doors and custom fiberglass bodywork planted on the cutaway Ford RV chassis. Like Centurion, Cabriolet company, based in Constantine, Michigan, also offered customized crew-cab pickups for this role, with luxurious interiors to make life on the road a bit more comfortable. These were built on a Ford E-350 cutaway chassis, as would be used by motorhome manufacturers or for cube vans. Centurion was the largest, and Cabriolet also joined in for some years. ![]() There were several conversion companies that made purpose-built fifth wheel tow rigs during the boom years of the RV industry. That limited it to fairly small trailers only. International created its Wagonmaster specifically for fifth wheel hauling, but almost shockingly, flubbed the design, because the bed was too short to allow the hitch to be directly over the rear axle. Pickups now were the default tow rig of choice.īut the possibility of an exceptionally roomy tow rig was not overlooked by some manufacturers, like this 1969 vintage “Ultruvan” Econoline conversion, which kept the front/middle section of the van, and used an extended frame to allow an over-the axle fifth wheel. ![]() This yielded a large passenger compartment or extra storage space, as well as being a heavier duty chassis for even larger trailers.ĭesigned by Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsky, this elaborate fifth-wheel trailer “Jungle Yacht” was used by Commander Gatti for his well-publicized trips through Africa.ĭuring the 50s through the 70s, fifth wheel trailers grew in popularity and size, as it allowed ever larger living space without compromising towability. It didn’t take long for specialized tow rigs to appear, built on a truck chassis. Fifth wheel trailers track much better than conventional trailers, as a substantial portion of the weight is taken in the front, directly over the rear axle, just like a semi-trailer truck. In the late 1920s, when the money and inclination for motorized camping really took off, fifth wheel trailers were easily adapted to the coupes of the times, with their short tails. ![]() The earliest fifth wheel travel trailer dates back to 1912 this one is an Adams Motor Bungalow from 1918. The advantages of fifth wheel travel trailers were discovered early. Ever since automotive-hauled fifth wheel trailers came into use a hundred years ago, a number of unique and specialized solutions to haul them most effectively have been created, like this Cabriolet fifth wheel trailer hauler built from a Ford Econoline E-350 chassis. One of the things I have most admired about the recreational vehicle industry are its hard charging people of remarkable determination, able to identify and satisfy a market need, no matter how small the niche. ![]() ![]() ![]() Try playing SuperFlex once and you may never go back.
