But what about the fragmented habitat of the Champlain Valley? It turns out that bobcats do live there, finding denning habitat in ledges within small forest patches, and hunting in and near those patches. Like many wild animals, they feel safest when they have vegetative cover.

Well, we are kindred spirits, in that sense, because I guess we were both doing that dance at the same time, and found ourselves - I guess in similar situations, you could say - for different reasons, but independent artists looking for a way to further connect with the world.
And before I know it, the dark sea is lit with tiny lanterns. This is all I want to be for someone else, really. The road toward our eternal home is narrow. It can feel surrounded by darkness. We easily feel swallowed up inside a world that tells us we are fools. It says we are fools for believing in a heavenly kingdom. Or fools for holding on to hope when despair is the song of the day. Fools for singing our songs of joy on dark nights.
During this period, Williams' biggest commercial successes remained as a songwriter. Emmylou Harris said of Williams, "She is an example of the best of what country at least says it is, but, for some reason, she's completely out of the loop and I feel strongly that that's country music's loss." Harris later recorded the title track from Sweet Old World for her career-redefining 1995 album, Wrecking Ball.[36] In 1996, Williams duetted with Steve Earle on the song "You're Still Standin' There" from his album I Feel Alright.[37] Williams also gained a reputation as a perfectionist and slow worker when it came to recording; six years would pass before her next album release, though she appeared as a guest on other artists' albums and contributed to several tribute compilations during this period.[38]
Williams followed up the success of Car Wheels on a Gravel Road with Essence, released on June 5, 2001. Featuring a less produced, more down-tuned approach both musically and lyrically, Essence moved Williams further from the country music establishment, while winning fans in the alternative music world. The album received a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Folk Album in 2002, while Williams won the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for the single "Get Right with God", an atypically up-tempo gospel-rock tune from the otherwise rather low-key release. The title track includes a contribution on a Hammond organ by alternative country musician Ryan Adams, and earned Williams a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. At the same ceremony, Williams was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for her cover of "Cold, Cold Heart", from the all-star Hank Williams tribute album, Timeless: Hank Williams Tribute (2001).[49] On January 13, 2002, Williams performed with Elvis Costello on the inaugural episode of CMT Crossroads.[50] Later that year, Time magazine christened Williams "America's best songwriter",[13] and CMT ranked her No. 36 on their list of the 40 Greatest Women of Country Music.[51]
Her seventh album, World Without Tears, was released on April 8, 2003. A musically adventurous though lyrically downbeat album, this release found Williams experimenting with talking blues stylings and electric blues. It received critical acclaim and was a commercial success, becoming Williams' first Top 20 album on the Billboard 200, peaking at No. 18.[39] AllMusic called it "the bravest, most emotionally wrenching record she's ever issued".[52] In his review for the Los Angeles Times, Robert Hilburn deemed it "a rock 'n' roll workout", writing that its edgiest songs sounded "close to the raw, disoriented feel" of the Rolling Stones' 1972 album Exile on Main St..[53] World Without Tears earned Williams two Grammy nominations in 2004: Best Contemporary Folk Album, and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for the single "Righteously". The previous year, Williams was nominated for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for her cover of Greg Brown's "Lately", from Going Driftless: An Artists' Tribute to Greg Brown.[54]
Williams was a guest vocalist on the song "Factory Girls" from Irish punk-folk band Flogging Molly's 2004 album "Within a Mile of Home",[55] and appeared on Elvis Costello's The Delivery Man (2004).[56] She sang with folk legend Ramblin' Jack Elliott on the track "Careless Darling" from his 2006 album I Stand Alone.[57] In 2006, she recorded a version of the John Hartford classic "Gentle on My Mind", which played over the closing credits of the Will Ferrell film Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.[58]
On May 13, 2017, Williams was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Music Degree from Berklee College of Music during the 2017 Commencement Concert.[15] In June, Rolling Stone named Williams one of the 100 Greatest Country Artists of All Time.[16] On September 29, 2017, she released This Sweet Old World, a re-recorded and expanded version her 1992 album, Sweet Old World.[80] Writing for Exclaim!, Mark Dunn gave the album seven out of 10, agreeing that Williams' voice has changed dramatically in the ensuing 25 years but noting that she uses it as an instrument masterfully, pairing it with stripped-down country arrangements, compared to the more pop feel of the 1992 release.[81] George de Stefano of PopMatters gave the release nine stars out of ten, calling it a "surprising and bold move" and writes that both the re-recordings and the new tracks are "gems".[82]
I was born in the U.K. but moved to Norway in 2011 and haven't looked back. I run a website and podcast about Norway, authored the Moon Norway travel guidebook, and spend my free time touring the country to discover more about the people and places of this unique corner of the world. I write for Forbes with an outsider's inside perspective on Norway & Scandinavia.
Apart from those segues, the weather has only been mentioned a few times. When Dana Cardinal is projecting herself from the otherworldly desert into the radio studio, she mentions Cecil's weather announcement and then adds, "The weather is beautiful here."[1] Steve Carlsberg tells a story that involves him chatting with Cecil about the weather, saying, "I remember it was the weather because we had to stand in awkward silence for a bit as we waited for the music to stop playing."[2] In the episodes "The Retirement of Pamela Winchell" and "The University of What It Is" Cecil invokes the weather purposefully to distract other citizens, and in the episode "Audition" Cecil invokes the weather purposefully to slow down time.
Foolish or not, these toys were an important step in music history that helped prep the world for the iPod's release in 2001. For many people, HitClips served as a first experience with a handheld, deconstructed mix tape. Unlike Walkmans and CD players, HitClips let you switch between songs and artists with ease. There was no skipping through tracks you didn't like -- you simply selected the song you wanted from your collection of clips.
But if you're dying to live the HitClips lifestyle now, you can buy them on Amazon(Opens in a new tab) or eBay(Opens in a new tab) for a pretty penny. Until then, I offer you the best of both worlds with this HitClips-themed Spotify playlists(Opens in a new tab).
"It's absolutely insane," Smith said regarding Díaz's entrance. "It's incredibly humbling and a great honor that a world-class athlete is using my song as inspiration to run on that pitch. This guy's such a professional, he could do this with any song. But I'm very thankful to the Mets supporters and anyone that's adding this track to their playlist and supporting 'Narco.'"
She also believes in the connection between pennies and the spiritual world. Finding a heads up penny is lucky. It connects us to friends and family that are no longer with us. Spiritually, finding pennies means someone may be looking after us and keeping us on the right path. This may be a guardian angel or spirit guides.
Dreaming of someone giving you money or picking money off the ground can symbolize the need for stability and connection. When we touch the ground we feel connected to the earth and to the spiritual world.
Not so long ago, finding coins would have made you feel rich. My five-year-old still feels this way. He loves to find coins on the ground at grocery stores. Whenever he finds one, he smiles and squeals with delight. Then he rushes home to add them to his piggy bank.
I've always found my penny occurances to be opposite of the common saying "heads up good look". For the longest time when I picked up heads-up pennies, I'd end up with bad luck. When I picked up tails up pennies, it seemed I had good luck. What I ended up realizing was that (for me anyways), the pennies were acting more as "warning signs" than good luck indicators. Heads-up pennies literally meant I need to keep my head up and be cautious about things in my life, because I was probably doing something foolish, risky, ignorant or otherwise not very good for myself or others. I would re-evaluate things going on in my life, and if nothing seemed out of the ordinary I would just try to pay attention around me going forward. It helped, because I would then spot bad stuff coming down the pipe at me and avoid it. This could be the "bad luck" I was associating with the pennies before, when actually the penny was just the messenger telling me to "Watch out!" Tails-up pennies seem to indicate to me that I'm doing something right. I've made a change in my life that is positive, and the tails up penny signals it. 2ff7e9595c
