"Beethovens Trashbin"
It is said that some time after the death of Ludwig Van Beethoven, his garbage was excavated.  What was found was balled up manuscripts he had rejected.  Upon closer examination, these balled up rejects contained some of the sweetest music any composer could ever wish to write.  They weren't good enough for Beethoven.  He could have pasted them together and just by the virtue of his name, created pieces people would no doubt play even to this day, but no, he threw them away.
Good Can Never Replace Best.
Beethoven wrote with conviction.  Each line, each phrase, each motif, had a definite purpose and place as though he were writing something to be woven into the fabric of the future.  Ludwig Van Beethoven by no means was a prolific composer, he wrote only 9 symphonies compared to Haydn's 104 and Mozart's 41.  Yet, those nine symphonies created a paradigm shift that shook the music world. He ushered in the Romantic music period. Beethoven, was a game changer.
In the mass production world we live in today, Beethoven calls out to us.  He challenges us to find our masterpiece.  Rather than doing good enough, we are challenged to contribute to our very best.
What could this be?  For Beethoven it was music.  I believe we are all given the opportunity to be a game changer, to create a masterpiece..
When you have passed, should there be an excavation of what you kept and what you threw away, what will be found?  Will there be evidence that you tossed away what was not good enough in order to make room for what was best?
What is your masterpiece?
"Garden Pat's" Night-Blooming Cereus

"Transient Beauty."
The Night-Blooming Cereus was first discovered by early navigators in the jungles of Central and South America.
It is a clambering, almost vinelike perennial belonging to the Epiphyllum group.
Parties have been thrown for this flower. That's because for one night a year it will bloom and close before the sun peeps out again.
Petal by petal, hour by hour, the thin creamy outer petals unfold, followed by broader pure-white inner petals, which surround yellow stamens. The flower finally reaches its full glory, which may be as small as 5 inches across or as wide as a foot, around midnight, give or take an hour or so.
 "Garden Pat" as we affectionately call her, was witness to this annual event in her own Red Cabin Garden.
 
Upcoming Oct Events:
"Old Hollywood Nudie Star Night" // OLT Prom Night
A Red Carpet Event - Saturday Oct 8 - 7:00 PM

 What is a #hashtag?
A hashtag is a label for content.  Hashtags are used mostly on social media sites such as Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.  Think of it as a way to "categorize" any content.
A hashtag can be a single word, an abbreviation, an invented combination of letters and numbers, or a phrase.
It helps others who are interested in a certain topic, quickly find content on that same topic.  Anyone sharing content on a relevant topic can add the hashtag label to their message to help others find simular information.
All you do to create a hashtag is think it up.
Start With the # Symbol, No Spaces Allowed.

Then start using it in your messages.  Usually you add it to the end of messages.  But you could add it anywhere in the message that makes sense, as long as it's readable.
Try it some time by simply typing it into any search field.
For example, on Facebook type in #oltevents to see a list of our posts.
15 REASONS WHY THE SUN IS GOOD FOR YOU

It seems that a little bit of sunshine on your body is actually good for you.  Studies have shown that a sensible amount of sun reduces your risk of several cancers and other serious health conditions.  It's all thanks to vitamin D, which is made by our bodies through the action of the sun's UVB rays on our skin.
Most of us start smiling when the summer comes and it's no surprise - a little sunshine every day can boost your mood and also help to prevent a host of serious illnesses. For years we have been told to cover up in the sun to cut the risk of getting skin cancer.  Most of us simply don't eat healthily enough to get adequate amounts, leaving the sun as the primary source of this important vitamin.
