Needle in a New Groove: Painting by Wassily Kandinsky (1939) Red, Yellow and Blue

Preview

"If you don't like what you're doing, you can always pick up your needle and move to another groove." Timothy Leary

NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT: Kandinsky's Reproduction The painting was created in 1939 in France, and is therefore immune to the German copyright, which lasts until 2014 for paintings created in Germany.Consider the heartlessness of the German copyright. While there's a museum dedicated to W.K.'s work in Munich, Kandinsky, who was Russian, painted this AFTER he escaped Germany.

    BIRDIES FOR CHARITY SELECTED US PAIN FOUNDATION







    Hey, folks
    This is awesome news for U. S. PAIN FOUNDATION, and FOR ALL OF US PAIN PATIENTS, CAREGIVERS AND OTHERS WHO UNDERSTAND OUR STRUGGLE FOR DECENT MEDICAL CARE, AND OTHER ISSUES.
    PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. IT IS VERY SIMPLE-- FOR ONE PENNY, YOU CAN MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!
    Happy Saturday everyone,

    I wanted to pass this on to all of you. US Pain was lucky enough to be asked to be one of a few selected non profits to be a part of the BIRDIES FOR CHARITY PROGRAM.
    This is a unique opportunity for US Pain to raise much needed awareness as well as raise some money for our programs.

    Pledges start at one penny, YES - 1 cent. I am not asking any of you to make a pledge, all I am asking is if you can forward the link below to family, friends, doctors, companies and others, asking them to fill out the form and pledge at least a penny per Birdie.

    I would suggest writing a nice personal note along with the link as to why we need their help and pledges.

    We also have paper forms if some do not want to use the link, they can mail it in.

    The wonderful and exciting thing about this program is:

    1) The Non Profit with the most pledges, not the most money raised just the most number of pledges wins $5000 and even more exciting

    2) We get to have an Advocacy Tent at a Major Golf Outing where over 300,000 people will be in attendance over 3 days and we will get national media attention.

    The link below takes people to our personal pledge page, where they fill out all the info, and the rest is taken care of. Just copy and paste and send to as many as you can.
    https://events.r2it.com/BIRDIES/DefaultPage/TravelersChampionship/Default.aspx?site=TravelersChampionship&siteId=32&charity=USPainFoundation&charityId=28056
    If anyone needs actual paper copies to give out, we will mail you as many as you like to hand out.

    Thank you for your help and dedication to making US Pain a household name.

    "It was in Spain that [my generation] learned that one can be right and yet be beaten, that force can vanquish spirit, that there are times when courage is not its own recompense. It is this, doubtless, which explains why so many, the world over, feel the Spanish drama as a personal traged

    Close Encounters of the Blog Kind: Alternate Methods of Commenting

    There are a few ways to leave comments, depending on your needs. First, you can click under the post and embed the comment.
    I will go in and paste it under the post, so no one has to click and wait for the window or page to come up.
    Secondly, C-Box is here precisely to make it easier to comment, converse with each other, make references to your posts, and so on. I value your participation in this expedition. Without you, I risk becoming solipsistic, like a goldfish in a bowl thinking that is the entire world because it's the only reality I would acknowledge. I think you can see by the nature of my interests, that is just not me.
    Thirdly, I encourage you to use the Review Posting area. Comments should be about the site itself, but can also serve to talk about content. It's up to you.
    Finally, you can leave comments on Friend Connect. A problem with F.C. is it was posting at the top of the blog, so to leave was more difficult. You couldn't see 'next blog,' etc. I tried changing the code but no success. So I'm reloading it in the hopes that won't happen. I'm sorry that I lost all the messages there.
    You also have the option of contacting me through email or my YouTube channels. Links for that are all over the blog. I am setting up a companion blog with music players from You Tube. Additionally, I'm starting another blog, "The Pain Game," a log of what's happening to me (and a lot of other people.) Even though there is recent legislation that is very promising, the past 20 years have been a nightmare to doctors and patients alike, re: law enforcement harassment. In 4 years, 5000 doctors lost their licenses. I don't want to speculate how many patients died because of it. And this isn't the place for this.
    FINALLY, PLEASE BECOME A FRIEND. I'm making friends at other sites like BlogCatalog and Bloggers Unite, and two friend from there are here. But especially my closest friends, show me you've been here! And critique this thing, and be brutal.
