Honeyz - Harmony
Harmony is the unreleased sophomore album of the British r&b girl group Honeyz. The album was slated to be released in 2001 but was cancelled by Mercury Records. The group released two singles, first of being “Not Even Gonna Trip”, that was included in the UK version of soundtrack album of Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, and secondly “I Don’t Know”. Both songs only peaked top 30 in the UK, while a third single was supposed to be released in late 2001 called “Talk To The Hand” but was cancelled. The album was recorded in 2000-2001, where majority of the tracks were recorded by the group’s second line-up: Celena, Mariama, & Naima. However Mariama left the group in the middle of the recording the album, and her departure saw the return of the group’s founding member Heavenli Abdi to finish where the group left off.

Since the only way I can work is by liveblogging the writing process, here's a rundown of the notable OCs in my A2A fic Fallen Angel:
(a lot of this info will probably never be mentioned in the actual fic since some of these OCs are very VERY minor characters who will only be mentioned once or twice, but I will know, and that's the main thing)
Somewhere Else:
The sentient void that Alex is lost in. It doesn't want her there and is trying to get rid of her by getting inside her head and exposing her to the horrors and hurting her, breaking down her soul bit by bit. What is the Somewhere Else? Who knows. It's ancient and all powerful and Alex messing about inside it refusing to die (so to speak. she's dead. but her immortal soul is still kicking) is messing with the very fabric of the afterlife. Is the Somewhere Else a sinister nightmarish form of God? Who knows. I'm the one writing this fic and I have no idea what kind of whack-ass horrific theology I'm inventing here.
DI Terrence Lyndon:
Some dickhead in Heaven who died peacefully of an unspecified illness with no significant baggage who never passed through Gene's world. A friend of Sam's ever since Sam arrived in Heaven. Thinks Alex is stupid and selfish for disrupting everyone else's afterlife just so she can try to escape Heaven, thinks Ray, Shaz, and Chris are stupid and irresponsible for continuing to stay loyal to Alex, and thinks Annie is a backstabbing cow for going behind Sam's back to help Ray and Shaz help Alex after Sam explicitly told them all not to do that.
PC Geoffrey Denton:
Died in the late 50s. One of the first coppers to join Gene in his world, and a good friend of his, once, though he suspects Gene has long since forgotten he even existed. Moved on to the Railway Arms before Ray or Chris arrived. Has been waiting a very long time for Gene to join him. Refuses to ever leave the bar though, just in case. Was part of Sam and Lyndon's Heavenly friend group, but honestly has got a bit bored of waiting around for something interesting to happen, and whatever the hell's going on with Alex Drake is the most exciting thing that's happened in decades, and he's thrilled to find out what happens next.
WPC Jennifer Field:
Died in the 1960s. Good friend of Geoff's. Moved on at the same time as him. Denies they're anything more than friends but also continues to sit at the bar every day just because Geoff is still there, so she's staying too. Was awed and impressed by Alex's great escape, but was only fully won over to her side when she saw Ray punch Lyndon in the face. She thought that was awesome, and if it was loyalty to Alex that caused Ray to that, and Alex basically breaking the afterlife that caused violence to even be possible in Heaven, then she's down to join in too.
DS Raphael Fitzroy:
Not a true OC, since this is my version of the iPhone guy from the finale, but since I made his name, rank, personality, and backstory up myself, he's basically an OC. Got pushed off a building by a criminal in 2010 and is now in a coma. Was a newly promoted DI back in 2010 and is unhappy to find he's now a DS again. Does not trust Gene at all. Knew of Alex Drake when she was alive, respected and admired her work, followed the story of her murder quite closely in the news. Has put up with a lifetime of people making fun of how posh and poncey his name sounds so prefers to go by either Just Raph™ or Just Fitz™. Gene naturally ignores this and makes fun of his name constantly. Is convinced Gene is the embodiment of some kind of infection on his brain, there to make him suffer and drive him slowly insane. Short tempered and easily frustrated but also has a tendency to freeze completely in the face of fear or danger, which is how his little accident happened in the first place.
DC Sarah Hawkins:
Another new arrival in Gene's world. Fell under a tube train in 2011 and was killed instantly, so aside from some oddly vivid dreams and an irrational fear of the tube, doesn't remember anything about her life or death or being from another time. Incredibly earnest, a little overly serious and doesn't really get jokes or sarcasm, but is very eager to please and desperate to be liked. Very much likes both Fitz and Gene and wants them both to like her, but her overly serious nature makes it hard for them to realise she's trying to be their friend, plus Fitz wants to go home and doesn't think she's even real so takes his anger and frustration out on her, and Gene is angry with her just for not being his old team and also taking it out on her. She's doing her best.
Bruno:
The new owner of the establishment formerly known as Luigi's. Some vague unspecified relative of Luigi. Young, tall, Italian, and eccentric. Runs the restaurant like he's not only never run one before but also like he's only got the vaguest idea of how they even work. Gene thinks he behaves like this is his first time in the real world and he's only just figuring out how to be a normal human. (Given the vague nature of barmen in this world, that very well may be the case, but Gene doesn't know that.)

Las Vegas, New Mexico
After we left Arlington, we stayed in Amarillo a few days to eat at the Big Texan. They were very busy on Friday and Sunday - we were seated upstairs both days. Saturday I went on a quick county run and added 8 counties to my Texas map! I visited a lot of cemeteries - in one I found a meth addict's drug bag!
We got the RV to the KOA in Las Vegas NM then all went back to Arlington to retrieve the van. Corny got us a dog-friendly hotel for two nights. Piggie gave us a scare. She was fine during the Jeep ride, but when we got to the hotel she seemed to freeze. I found out it was Tonic Immobility (TI) - "an innate fear response characterized by a temporary state of profound and reversible motor inhibition." I brought her over to the bed in the morning and set her down next to me. She came around and started exploring. Whew.
I stayed to get some Virtuals, a ladder cache and lunch at Six Flags. Corny and the fur babies got the van and went back to Las Vegas. On my way back with the Jeep, I geocached in Denton, got a bunch of Virtuals, a WebCam, and the State Star in Oklahoma, adding a whopping 24 counties to my map. I made a beeline home when I found out Poco was howling like a coyote for me!
OK State Capitol
OKC Bombing Memorial>
Yes, there are two Las Vegases. This little one is much more boring than the real one, but much cooler in the summer at around 6500 feet elevation. Downtown are over 900 buildings on the Historical Registry. We met the mayor our first day in town; she was babysitting the Visitor Center. Lots of movies and TV shows are filmed here - the most famous being Easy Rider and Red Dawn. Here's a good website: http://lasvegasnm.org/filmed_in_las_vegas_new_mexico/
One day we went downtown and I found a geocache at the Plaza Hotel. We checked out the gift shop and continued exploring up and down the street and the park for about another 30-45 minutes. I got in the Jeep and said "Where's my purse???" I had left it on the sofa in the hotel lobby! Luckily an honest person found it!!! It has been decades since I've ever forgotten my purse somewhere.
There are only a dozen or so geocaches nearby. There is a little Wal-Mart - we went to Santa Fe (50-60 miles west) for Panda, Five Guys and Sam's Club. Las Vegas has just the basic fast food chains. There are a few other local restaurants. We tried The Skillet, Blake's Lotaburger and Charlie's. Charlie's has ginormous cream puffs, donuts, key lime pie and all sorts of yummy homemade-tasting things. When we ate at The Skillet, I commented how good the tortillas were. As we were leaving, an employee came in carrying a big bag of tortillas from Charlie's!
We had a pretty view of the mountains and a Quanset hut at the KOA. We had low water pressure but the wi-fi was excellent. Corny had to replace the 8-year old shower faucet. I couldn't get Dr. Phil so I rarely watched tv. Survivor started two weeks before we moved to the real Las Vegas, so I had to wait and binge-watch three episodes in one day. We took short walks with the dogs because somebody always seemed to get a sandspur stuck in their paw. Ruffles' hairy paws are like Velcro. They call them grass spurs here! We had some growing right under our RV. The staff here is super friendly and one spent 8 hours plucking sandspurs from the big front lawn.
As planned, Corny took a van trip through the real Las Vegas and Salt Lake City up to a campground in Vancouver, enjoying buffets and DDDs along the way. He went on a Boeing tour in Seattle. He went to a "Legends of Tomorrow" filming location and met several of the actors. He also entertained himself by visiting The Chinese Garden, Stave Falls hydroelectric power plant, Lynn Canyon Park, the Police Museum, Brandywine Falls, Shannon Falls, and Porteau Cove. He got a call from his Florida doctor while he was away, so he had a short visit, a short stay at home, then headed to Florida in the van again for more tests.
^Shannon Falls
Before Corny left for Florida, I was able to make a county run around central NM and a bit of TX. I stayed in Roswell two nights and Albuquerque two nights. Here's what I wrote to Shorty about my favorite part, at the Alien Head geo-art on BLM land about 10 miles NE of Roswell: I stomped around in the desert in my snake boots and didn't see any snakes! I was on a fun bouncy Jeep trail (the kind you've got to unstrap the seatbelt to avoid injury) and stopped to look at the view of the valley - awesome! While I was stopped a big low-flying eagle went by. Then a little coyote ran across the trail about 200 feet ahead of me. Then about 20 pronghorns followed him! I was overjoyed! I also saw lots of curious cows with calves.
Billy the Kid’s tombstone is locked up.
Panda Express in Santa Fe was a big deal. In Albuquerque, I found a Del Taco!!! I hadn't had it in years, and being so deprived in the little town, it was heavenly. I wanted more the next day, but was on my way home. Corny was already packed and left the night I came home. He didn't want to go to Florida. He had his tests and didn't leave the van for three long days because he had a catheter.
The dogs and I made a county run to northern NM. When Corny got back, I made a southern NM run. The Jeep got a workout going up, down, and around the mountains of Gila National Forest. I got home around midnight.
The next day we gladly packed up the Anchor and drove six hours toward the REAL Las Vegas. We overnighted at a casino parking lot. We got "home" Sunday and ate at an In & Out. Corny left Monday around midnight to retrieve the van. When he got back, the first thing we did was hit the Sam's Town Casino buffet. The second thing we did was sign up for Cox Internet ($52/month). We plan to be here about six months, Lord Willing and weather permitting.
Life is Godd! We fit out.

It gets insulting to reach the level of argumentative conversation with God where we start leveling Him off. In the sense that our loses from the past can't be outdone in restoration by Him in our present day of living (Joel 2v25, KJV; Luke 15v11-32, KJV; Genesis 22v1-19, KJV; Job 42v10-17, KJV). Like right now. In the very impossible day the LORD has made Himself (Psalm 118v24, KJV). I'm no one to put a cap on how the LORD can outdo Himself time and time again, even over all that I thought was lost in Him, when everything I have in Him is a treasure stored up heaven (Matthew 6v19-21, KJV). As in, it can't ever be lost, and when it comes back to me through restoration – its got a lot of gained interest for having spent time in someone else's hands. Almost like a reward for not complaining to God about my lost heavenly blessing, as though it were an entitlement. When really it belongs to Him, and just to make a point about how He is a restorer, our blessings come to us with abundance. Lost or not, because that's His style. He's been doin' it since the beginning. With fish and bread, He's done it. Material riches He's done it, and certainly in the modern day Church He's doin' it too. I know He's doing that in my life. So, I'm prayerfully hoping everyone will take a moment to remember with thanks how the LORD is a restorer of everything He has prepared for you in Him. For where the treasures of your life in Him are, there is no loss to claim, but abundance no one can begin to dare dream or imagine measuring in this life or the next. Not because of the quantities per se, but because of how the LORD's grace in our treasures found in Him is unquantifiable, because He is that awesome in how He blesses us. At a level only He can understand, ever. I love that, although that's not the reason for which I declare my love for the LORD, but I certainly don't hate it with an Amen. Because that kind of favor in grace, against us ever losing any blessing in Him, is the kind I just gotta receive, and I'm sure hopin' everyone else will too. In Jesus's name. Amen.

Babe in my womb
Knows me, knows Mother
Yet sees not
who I am.
Creation cocooned within
Sees no face, touches no hands,
Yet
Motherless? No
All around IS Mother
allsense allsound allsight alltaste
The walls of existence are Mother
Nourishment gratified is Mother
Steady heartbeats and
Unsteady movement and
Reality itself
Voice of Father
Rumbling through from above,
Far and close,
More clearly distinguished,
since Father is
Separate
(Not as Mother who is
who is not
who is us)
Child wombed in mortality
Knows Her, knows Mother
Yet sees not
Her I AM.
No face, no hand, no Being

And someday,
In blinding light
We will be delivered
Unto Her,
And look upon
A face that, having never seen
We know
For we knew Mother
All along.

CARL’S BLOG: DARK CLOUDS OVER ALABAMA; carl’sblog.online: http://sbpra.com/CarlJBarger; Arkansas-Hillbilly.com
11-20-19: My visit with Audrey and Dr. Banister
I decided to ride into Prattville and surprise Audrey and Dr. Banister. Due to the cold wintery weather I decided not to ride General but instead take the carriage into town. As I pulled up in front of the dress shop, I tied the reins to the hitching post and went inside. The store was warm, and the smell of the fragrances coming from the scented candles and perfumes was just heavenly. As I closed the door behind me, the bells jingled, and I saw Audrey look up from the checkout counter. She smiled big and made her way around the counter toward me. Since I didn’t see anyone in the store, I picked up speed and headed toward her. We embraced and kissed right under some mistletoe. We couldn’t have picked a better spot in the store.
“Obadiah, when did you get home?” “I made it home yesterday, late afternoon!” I’ve thought nothing else but you in the past few days. It’s so good to see you.” “Audrey, it’s good to see you as well.” “Are you Christmas shopping?” “Yes, I am, but mostly I wanted to take you out for lunch. Are you going to be free for lunch?” I’m always free for you, Obadiah. What time is it?” “It’s eleven o’clock,” I said. “Do you have something you could do until twelve?” “I thought I might run by to see Dr. Banister.” “Why don’t you do that and come back around twelve. I’ll be ready.”
As I entered the reception area, Dr. Banister was coming from his examination room with one of his patients. He saw me and immediately came over to shake my hand. “Obadiah, when did you get home?” “Yesterday afternoon!” “It’s great to see you, young man, and Merry Christmas!” “Merry Christmas to you as well,” I said shaking his hand. “Well, Obadiah, tell me, how many more months before I can call you Dr. Obadiah Bradford?” “Six months, I hope!”
“What a great accomplishment for you. I can hardly wait. Please come with me; I want to show you something.” He led me past the receptionist’s desk to a door that opened into a hallway. He had added some additional rooms since I had last visited his office. The first door to the left was my office. There was a note on the door that said, “Future office of Dr. Obadiah Bradford.”
“What do you think about all of this, Obadiah?” “Dr. Banister, this is just wonderful!” “I was hoping you would like it. We’ve worked hard trying to get the addition ready for you to see while you were home for the Christmas break.” “I had no idea you were doing all of this.” “I wanted it to be a surprise. Are you still maintaining a 4.0 grade point?” he asked. “Yes, Sir, I am.” “Obadiah, I’ve always known you were very intelligent.”
“Thank you, Dr. Banister. I owe most of my success to you. My apprenticeship under you has helped me more than books ever could.” “Well, thank you, Obadiah, for that compliment. By the way, what are you doing for lunch?” “I’m taking Audrey to lunch, but you are certainly welcome to come join us.” “Thank you, Obadiah, but I guess I had better decline your invitation. It appears I’m always playing second fiddle to your beautiful Audrey Denton.” “I’m sure Audrey wouldn’t mind.” “That’s all right, Obadiah. You go ahead and have a nice lunch with Audrey.”
Audrey and I had a wonderful lunch together. We ate at Pratt’s restaurant, which was owned by Daniel Pratt. Mr. Pratt owned about every establishment in Prattville. The food was excellent, and my hour with Audrey went too fast. We made a date for the Christmas dance and social on Christmas Eve night at the Prattville Town Center.
After lunch, I drove by Sarah’s home to visit with her before returning to Twin Oaks. It was a pleasant surprise to find my sisters, Tanyua Ballard and Mary Ann Shadrack, at Sarah’s home. They had gotten together to compare their Christmas gift lists. Since there were so many Bradford’s to buy for, they wanted to avoid buying the same present for the same person. As I’ve mentioned before, Christmas at James and Catherine Bradford’s home was a big family affair. It was more than a one day’s affair. After Christmas dinner, father always read the Christmas story, and then we opened presents. It took most of the afternoon to open Christmas presents and clean up afterwards. Since I was terrible at buying Christmas presents, I decided to sweet talk my sisters into shopping and buying my Christmas presents for me.
My sisters had spoiled me. I guess being the baby in the family has some advantages. With a few sad stories of why I hadn’t done any Christmas shopping, my sisters agreed to bail me out and do my shopping for me. There were only two people whom I wanted to personally shop for and that was Penelope and Audrey. I assured my sisters that I would richly reward them for shopping for me by buying them a nice present. Of course, they laughed, knowing that I was terrible at picking something out for them. I assured them I would solicit Mother’s help in purchasing their gifts.

God raised me up in heavenly places to sit with Him in Jesus Christ. I am saved by grace through faith. I am not saved by my own works. I am God's masterpiece.

I have access by one Spirit to the Father through Christ Jesus. I am strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man according to the riches of His glory.

Small Changes To Weight Reduction
One оf thе initial issues tо be pruned from thе budget during theѕe tough occasions is thе gym membership. How сan a individual justify investing $100 оr much more at thе well being club whеn many are living paycheck tо paycheck or attempting to conserve fоr the small one's school fund?
Each and each book included ѕome "master resell legal rights" that said that I сan flip about аnd resell the publications оn ebay. I believed "this is amazing!" Becoming а freelance web designer iѕ а very feast or famine denton carpet cleaners, and anу extra income looked engaging tо me. The very best component was that almost аll thе publications integrated templated internet webpages tо sell themselves.

"Inspiration" of a individual means tо infuse thаt individual wіth a "spirit." That's whу the word іs mainly utilized in non secular, оr spiritual, contexts. And that'ѕ аs it should be. Back again at thе office, then, why do my clients keep listening to that thеy require to "inspire" thеir individuals more? What dоes spirituality, or evеn God, havе to do wіth creating mу device's quarterly numbers?

Even іf they arеn't "churchy" individuals, they want what impressed people have. They wаnt to be driven by thаt "spirit," whether or not thеy understand іt аs Heavenly, or aѕ а easy spirit tо perform, tо attain, to assist, оr to lead.
Another advantage is more meaningful family members communication. Because а houseboat іs much smaller than a conventional home, wіth extremely little if anу personal space. You have the benefits of great family communication that arrives frоm living in а smaller sized area.
Change is truly difficult tо do, everyone knows that. Just believe of a alter in diet plan aѕ а stage іn losing excess weight. If yоu arе а little overweight, then thіs is a great time for уou to shed weight. Not onlу will yоu bе losing weight and managing уour diabetic issues status, but yоu will quickly discover that уou are living а full and healthy life.

But I’m cracking like a coconut anyway
It’s Halloween night (it will probably be Nov. 1 by the time I finish this) and I should be asleep, but I’m not. Instead, I’m up and sitting on my futon, thinking about 1) how little I write for fun anymore, and 2) a song I heard a band perform live when I was in college.
Does your brain ever bring forth certain memories, and you’re not sure why? Like, if your memories are index cards and your brain is a filing cabinet, it’s like some extension of yourself jumbled them all up and picked one at random for you to focus on. Well, I’ve been thinking a lot recently about this band I discovered in college, Mister Heavenly. MH started as a side project of three artists from three separate bands -- Honus Honus of the band, Man Man, Nicholas Thorburn of Islands and the Unicorns and Joe Plummer of Modest Mouse and The Shins. For a short while, Michael Cera toured with them and played bass. They released their first album, Out of Love, in 2011.
Mister Heavenly came through Denton, Texas -- the town in which I attended college -- shortly after the release of Out of Love. I saw them play at the now-defunct Hailey’s bar and club with my then-boyfriend and roommate.
Michael Cera wasn’t at the show. But the other three killed it. I remember Fat Tony opened and Honus Honus wore a poncho.
For a lot of my life, I felt like I knew who I wanted to be, but was not that person. I couldn’t put abstract thoughts and feelings into tangible actions. There was a disconnect between what I thought and what I did. This concert was probably a prime example of when that feeling crystallized.
I wanted to be a laid-back concert-goer, but I just wasn’t. There were a lot of things I wanted to be that I was not and I didn’t know how to get there. Buying an orange-colored Out of Love LP in the back of the concert hall, I remember musing about how I probably had the merch guy fooled.
Six years later, I feel like who I want to be and who I actually am are finally the same most of the time.
Yes, this is more pretentious, introspective bullshit from a 26-year-old who has a blip’s worth of life experience. I want to get better at writing and, as they say ... WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW. And if I know anything, it’s my own thoughts and experiences.
The Mister Heavenly song, “Wise Men,” has been playing on loop in my head recently. I had never paid much attention to the lyrics until a few days ago:
Wise men don't know nothin'
About the way I feel
And how my heart heals
And I try so hard to keep my head on straight
But I'm cracking like a coconut anyway
And I'll throw caution to the wind
Rattle around in your cauldron again
But if you're standing in the wings
Please don't wake me up
Wise men don't know nothin'
About the way I feel
And how my heart heals
And I try so hard to keep my head on straight
My brain obeys but my body betrays me every day
And i'll throw caution to the wind
Bury my love inside quick dryin' cement
Swim across this bottomless ocean
But if you're standing on the shores
Please don't wake me up
