Chemistry students at Horizon Science Academy in Cleveland had to illustrate a nuclear chain reaction and came up with this video. I wish nuclear chain reactions were always this fun.
First they tried green and yellow Skittles first—which is exactly what uranium-235 looks like when you get really close—but it wasn't good enough. That's why they got 300 mousetraps and 600 ping pong balls. They say they are going to make a bigger one soon. Let's hope they use a slow motion camera and better illumination for that one. [Thanks Karl!]

When we say "Dubstep" most people think of hard drops and grinding wubs. But there is a lot more to the genre than that.
When people think Call of Duty, they think of hard explosions and grinding machine guns. But… perhaps there's more to the genre than that?
YouTuber TomahawkTrix thinks so, anyway, with this surprisingly lovely dubstep remix of that first trailer for Black Ops II, featuring a tune from Blackmill Music.
Feels like all those other emotionally dissonant action-game trailers we've seen, only with kinda more interesting music.

Myles Stenshoel, professor emeritus of political science, dies at 86
It is with deep sadness that Augsburg College mourns the passing of Myles Stenshoel, professor emeritus of political science. He died at the age of 86 at home surrounded by his family. Professor Stenshoel came to Augsburg in 1965 to establish a political science department, which he did the following year, with the addition of Professor Norma Noonan. He taught for 21 years, phased into retirement, and continued teaching part time in retirement.
After graduating from Concordia College, Moorhead, and Concordia Theological Seminary, he was ordained and served small churches in Colorado. But it was not long before he felt a stronger call to teach. He earned master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Colorado and returned to the Midwest to teach at Augustana College in Sioux Falls.
Self-described as a "conservative radical," Myles felt a deep commitment to a Christianity that focuses on and needs both individual commitment and social action, and this is exemplified in the department he led. Politics and religion were his primary intellectual interests, and at several times he seriously considered elected public office. He served on committees and task forces that examined church-state issues and Lutheran higher education. His interests were varied and he enjoyed leading what he called "an integrated life."
As longtime pre-law adviser to students, he was especially proud of the number of women he encouraged to pursue careers in law when that was not yet common. In the early 1970s, he also served on a College ad hoc committee that researched the status of women faculty at Augsburg, which helped foster improvement. He was an esteemed faculty colleague, and remained active in teaching and learning at Augsburg, always attending Political Science Department and College events during retirement. He is pictured here with Shonna Fulford '09, recipient of the Myles Stenshoel Scholarship.
Myles and Eunice, his wife of more than 50 years, have four children: Peter, David, Marit--all of whom attended Augsburg--and Eric. Together as a family, they have written a number of histories of their Norwegian families, an activity that Myles looked forward to in his retirement.
A funeral will be at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, April 6 at Gethsemene Lutheran Church, 715 Minnetonka Mills Road, Hopkins, Minnesota. Please keep the Stenshoel family and friends in your prayers during this sad time. Myles leaves a deep legacy in the history of Augsburg.

so. i never blog anymore. i own it. sometimes i get really sad that it just doesn't happen anymore. because i miss that a lot of our memories aren't captured through words or pictures. but i just can't imagine sitting down at the computer as often i once did to document our lives.
(after reading that, i *am* really sad that i don't blog anymore. but...too much work. oh well. stay on task, janet.)
y'all. goo? is starting kindergarten tomorrow morning.
{breathe in. breathe out.}
there are so many things swirling around in my head right now. like...HOW CAN THIS BE?
last year, goo attended a FABULOUS kindergarten at a private school in the area and had an amazing experience. the year before was a tough one. so i envisioned a tough one again. but no. she had a woman who loved her every day. who prayed for and with her every day. who taught her Scripture. who taught her different ways to pray. different things to pray for. different people to pray for. the importance of our service men and women. the importance of our public service workers (firemen and women, police officers, paramedics, 911 responders, etc). and the different names for God. all while teaching her how to read, write, do math, experience worship, etc. so. needless to say, we love(d) her.
and so when the year was over, we were sad. we had her awesome teacher (and her husband) over for dinner. and it was wonderful. and we've met her for ice cream this summer. and goo has prayed for her on a regular basis.
and all summer, i worried. i worried about my little missionary daughter. who has become an amazing little woman with the most enormous heart. i have been praying for her as the thought of her going to "the big house" enters my mind. i have been praying almost daily for a little friend for her. a boy or a girl. a friend who makes good decisions as a 5- or 6-year-old.
fast forward to this past thursday night. kindergarten parent orientation night. the night where we'd find out who goo's teacher was going to be.
and as the teachers spoke, my stomach turned upside down. and buz left the room to take a call. and while he was out, he texted. "she got mrs. b."
i felt myself starting to cry.
bigH had mrs. b. and she is the teacher we were SO HOPING goo would have.
and so when parent orientation was over, buz went home to relieve the sitter (nana), and i went to see if i could find mrs. b. and i did. and i hugged her. and i may have cried.
tomorrow i will walk bigH AND goo to the same school. and i will walk goo into the same classroom where bigH was. and where bigH learned big life lessons. and where he was loved on by mrs. b. and goo gets to be loved on just as much, if not more. surprisingly, i'm not nervous or scared. but confident in where the Lord has our little family. at our little school.
dear goo,
first of all, i could NOT love you more. couldn't. right now, it's sunday night. on the eve of you heading off to kindergarten. daddy and i just took you and bigH to your school in your jammies and prayed outside each of your classrooms. and i got a lump in my throat when we were outside your classroom. you had meet the teacher friday morning, and when we got in the car, you were teary. i was so nervous. when i asked you what was wrong, you said, "mom, everything i've dreamed about my whole life is finally coming true. i finally have mrs. b. and i finally get to go to school with bigH." oh, how my heart swelled. you are an amazing little girl. you are our little missionary. loving on others who sometimes don't get loved on as much. i pray tonight that you would instantly find confidence within your heart to walk into that classroom with pride. that you are awesome. i pray for your time at lunch. that you wouldn't sit by yourself. i pray that the moment you first open your locker is as awesome as it has been in your head. i pray that mrs. b secretly loves on you throughout the day. that mrs. n (who you also know) will wink at you every so often tomorrow, just to let you know she's looking out for you. i pray that recess is awesome. i pray that you would find at least one friend. a boy or a girl. a friend who makes good decisions. who is kind. who isn't ugly to others. i pray that other kiddos will see in you the beauty within that i do. that daddy does. that bigH does. that your little sister does. i pray that you would see bigH at least once during the day tomorrow, and that he would give you a look and say something encouraging to you. and maybe even hug you. :) you are going to ROCK IT tomorrow. i cannot wait to hear about your day. and i cannot wait to see your face the moment you get to walk out that door at 245 tomorrow. beware: i might be crying.
i love you with every ounce of my being and could not be prouder of you.
love, mom

Genetically modified foods
Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally, e.g. through the introduction of a gene from a different organism. Currently available GM foods stem mostly from plants, but in the future foods derived from GM microorganisms or GM animals are likely to be introduced on the market. Most existing genetically modified crops have been developed to improve yield, through the introduction of resistance to plant diseases or of increased tolerance of herbicides.
In the future, genetic modification could be aimed at altering the nutrient content of food, reducing its allergenic potential, or improving the efficiency of food production systems. All GM foods should be assessed before being allowed on the market. FAO/WHO Codex guidelines exist for risk analysis of GM food.

Fans help launch new logoShare
More than two years of research compiled from fan feedback, surveys and focus groups have helped shape a new image for Michigan International Speedway. To kick off the start of its 40th season of racing, Michigan International Speedway President Roger Curtis, NASCAR driver Bill Elliott and several Michigan International Speedway race fans unveiled a newly designed logo for the historic racetrack.
The logo, a three-color representation that captures the spirit of MIS, its racing tradition and its unique, national park-like location in the lush "Irish Hills" of Southeastern Michigan was designed by Grand Rapids, Mich.-based DDM Marketing and Communications following extensive research and input by race fans.
"This is not just a logo; it's a brand that will help define us for the next 40 years," Curtis said. "In all of our research, we asked our fans to tell us what they love about Michigan International Speedway and what they most associate us with. Is it the racing? Is it the drivers who make NASCAR events so exciting? What is it about MIS that makes our speedway so unique? We found that our location and our race fans make MIS what it is, and this logo is finally a true reflection of that."
The vibrant colors represent the speedway's gorgeous location in Brooklyn, Mich., a cozy little town nestled among rolling green hills and sparkling blue lakes. The design of the speedway's oval incorporates a brilliant, orange sun among hills and trees. "It's your speed," the tagline introduced last year, also defines the new brand and represents the vast experiences ticket holders at Michigan International Speedway have when visiting the track. Race fans set their own pace at MIS.
"Our brand is about the experience you have at our speedway," Curtis added. "We are making tremendous investment in that experience and improving the speedway by learning from our customers, and this new logo and the work we are doing on our grandstands, in our campgrounds, in our parking lots and in our traffic patterns reflects that. This is a great way to start the next 40 years."
Elliott helped unveil the logo during Speedweeks in Daytona Beach, Fla. Elliott has long been known as the quiet and unpretentious champion and fan favorite from Dawsonville, Ga., who made his Cup debut nearly 32 years ago. Interestingly, it was his mentor, the late Benny Parsons, who led him to Harry Melling, a Michigan-based businessman who provided $35,000 in sponsorship for Elliott to run his first full season in the then NASCAR Winston Cup Series in 1982. That sponsor, Melling Tool Company, is an automotive products company based in Jackson, Mich., near Michigan International Speedway.
He spent 10 seasons in the car with Melling Racing, delivering magical seasons in 1985, when he became known as "Million Dollar Bill," and 1988, when he won his NASCAR championship. He traces much of his success to Michigan International Speedway, where he earned seven of his 44 career victories, including four in a row in 1985 and 1986.
Several MIS race fans were on hand for the unveiling. Following the unveiling, they joined several Michigan International Speedway staff members and Curtis for lunch and an informal focus group where they discussed their experiences of MIS and how the track can improve and expand upon those experiences.
Michigan International Speedway hosts the ARCA RE/MAX Series on June 13, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Cool City Customs 200 on June 14, NASCAR Nationwide Series Carfax 250 on August 16 and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series on June 15 and 3M Performance 400 on August 17. Tickets are available for all events, including qualifying days, by calling the MIS Ticket Hotline at 1-800-354-1010 or visit
Paul Bischer, his wife Lisa and their sons Jacob, 11, and Levi, 8, were on hand in Daytona, Fla., when speedway President Roger Curtis (second from left) unveiled Michigan International Speedway's new logo during Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway. The Bischers of Holly, Mich., are ticket holders to Michigan International Speedway.

My Great Great Grandfather, Wilhelm Hau, is buried in St. Joseph's Cemetery in St. Joe, Marshfield Twp., Fond du Lac Co., WI. He was born on November 25, 1842 in Prussia.
We don't know a lot about Wilhelm. One family story states that "…he came to America from Prussia. His family were wealthy land owners who had tenant farms. He fled Germany because of the conscription under King Wilhelm. He served in the Prussian Army and had a crippled small finger and a scar on his face as a result. He played the violin and was a choir director in Germany. He came to America with his sister from, we think Stuttgart, but she died at sea."
We do know that Wilhelm settled in the Town of Russell in Sheboygan Co., WI in the 1860's. He married Katherine Tuepper on January 12, 1869, in nearby Mt. Calvary. Together they had 9 children. His farm was not far from St. Joseph's Catholic Church. He is listed a donor toward it's building. One donation was for $65 and another was for the purchase of windows for the new church in 1871.
Wilhelm died at the age of 41 on August 12, 1884.

Shawnee Dispatch
April 30, 2010
Kansas City, Kan. As officials prepared to break ground Friday morning on Wyandotte County's new Hollywood Casino, growth was at the forefront of most people's mind.
Unified Government/ Kansas City, Kan., mayor Joe Reardon opened his remarks to those gathered for the groundbreaking ceremony drawing attention to the day's rainy weather and its significance to what the new casino will mean for not only the county but the state as a whole.
"Rain is symbolic of growth," Reardon said. "As I thought about this morning and coming together with you all here today, that's a lot of what this is about: growth. Growth in our community, growth in the state … We're going to build the best casino in this market place and one that the entire country will see every time the cameras wiz by Turn 2 when we hold a great race here at Kansas Speedway."
Reardon said the casino, which will be built to overlook Turn 2 at the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., was an example of Wyandotte County's dedication to growth despite the economy. He said equally important to the revenue that will be created by the casino, were the jobs that would be created, which have been estimated at 1,000 permanent jobs once the casino opens and thousands of others during the construction phase.
"I'm proud to be a leader of a community where over the course of the last several months into the weeks we have announced the creation of thousands of new jobs," Reardon said. "From the 4,000 jobs that will come from the Cerner campus to the construction jobs that are at the Wizards stadium today and to last week when we had the head of General Motors come to our GM Fairfax plant and announce an additional $135 million-investment and 900 jobs at that plant. We are on the grow in Kansas City, Kan., even in the midst of tough economic times."
The Hollywood Casino will be managed by the group Kansas Entertainment, which was formed through a 50/50 partnership between the Kansas Speedway and Penn National Gaming, of Wyomissing, Pa.
The $386 million phase one portion of the Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway is expected to open in early 2012. There will be 2,300 slot machines, 61 gaming tables and 25 poker tables on a 100,000 square-foot gaming floor. The casino will also feature 28,000 square-feet of other amenities including restaurants, clubs and nightlife attractions.
Also with growth on the mind Friday was Lt. Gov. Troy Findley, who was present at the ceremony representing Gov. Mark Parkinson.
Findley said it took a lot of hard work among the many stakeholders and partners involved in the project to make the casino a reality.
"We believe in Kansas that today represents bringing forward a new critical piece to the Kansas economic development puzzle," Findley said. "This investment, this committee, this new pathway we're about to charter with the groundbreaking of this casino is going to mean an awful lot to Kansas, to Kansas City, Kan., to Wyandotte County and to the region. Not just short-term but long-term in terms of the jobs in terms of the economic implications for the state of Kansas and as everyone is well aware we're all looking for more revenue in Topeka right now so this is a very very welcome event for us."
Tim Wilmott, president and chief operating officer of Penn National Gaming, also felt the excitement of the morning and touted the affect the casino would bring.
"Today is a moment that really does signify an important next step in the development of Kansas' next casino," Wilmott said. "The ongoing collaboration between our partners, the International Speedway Corp., the Unified Government and the state of Kansas has proven to be a strong one since day one. As a result, we will open a first-class destination casino in the Kansas City market and the first of its kind in Wyandotte County."
Simply put, Wilmott said, "Kansas got it right."
Wilmott said his company deals with a lot of gaming jurisdictions across the country, but Kansas' economic model has provided Penn National Gaming "the opportunity to be competitive with neighboring states as the region becomes more competitive in the gaming market."
"Imagine in just a couple years what we will see around us, the Speedway , the Hollywood Casino, the new Wizard's stadium, the Cerner office campus," Wilmott said. "This facility will bring over 400,000 unique tourists annual to the Speedway when the casino opens and they'll have so much more to enjoy."

I haven't read Dr. Grordbort yet, but find the art fascinating. These Weta guys are geniuses... as someone mentioned the last time you wrote about Weta: it's terribly exciting to see there's a connection between James Gurney and Weta, or put in another way, that people who have fleshed out Pandora and Middle-earth are friends with the creator of Dinotopia. Whatever that connection might mean. ;) Happy Easter in advance, Mr. Gurney.

How Can I Help a Friend Who Was Raped?
My friend told me that when she was 14 she was raped. She quickly changed the
subject. I want to talk to her about it, but I don't want to upset her. What should
I do?
– Laurel*
Sometimes friends want us to know stuff that's happened to them so we can understand them better. But even when people share information about themselves, they may not always be ready to talk about it. That's especially true when talking brings up difficult or painful memories.
Your friend may want to talk more about it with you, or she may not. You can simply be honest: Let her know you're willing to listen if she ever wants to talk more about it, but you don't want to upset her by bringing it up. That way, she knows you're open to hearing more and you leave the decision up to her.
You also could ask your friend if she's ever talked to a counselor about what happened. Lots of places have rape crisis hotlines or centers staffed with professionals who are trained to listen and help.
Whether or not you talk more about this together, your friend knows she has someone who's willing to listen and care. And you have a friend who's willing to confide. That means a lot.

Cameron looked terribly sullen on the way home from lunch today. I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out what was wrong with him.
We had a chance to go and have lunch with Daddy, which is always a treat. The boys absolutely adore Shane, and they soak up every chance they get with him during the day, because those times can be few and far between.
After lunch, we all said goodbye to Daddy and headed off to the park.
(What? What's that you say? Oh! Yes, yes....I should earn "Mother of the Year" for taking my boys to the park on a day when you can see your breath! I totally couldn't agree with you more, and thankyouverymuch for saying that.)
However, on the way there, I noticed that, despite our impending park visit, Cameron looked awfully sad. I mean pooched-lip-out-to-Indiana, if you must have details.
So, I asked: "Cameron? What the matter baby? Are you sad?"
Cameron replied with a giant *sigh*, and then said, "Yeah, Mommy."
"Honey....why are you sad? We're going to the park!!" I said, trying to be cheerful.
He looked at me.
"It's just that....Daddy's gone, and now I do not have a happy heart."

We met in 2007. We started living together right from 2008, he was my first love. I have never dated any other guy in my life. He dis-flowered me, that made me submit my self to him, hoping that when ever he has money we can do introduction and other things.
He was a womanizer, a gold digger, he collected all the money in my Account before my eyes was opened. When he saw that I didn't have money again, he started misbehaving, bringing women into the house.
I had my first pregnancy in 2007, but due to constant beating, I lost the pregnancy. I had another one in 2008 and gave birth Feb 2009.See more after the cut...
Thank God I have a mother if not I would have been suffering. 3 months after the naming of my baby, he brought his girlfriend into the house. I cooked for them and slept in the guest room. People can testify to it.
He told me he was sorry that the lady would only spend the weekend in the house and I agreed. But a week passed and she didn't go, when asked him he started beating me, that was how I left his house the first time.
I caught him and another woman in our bed naked. Its a very sad story. I regret ever meeting Ibrahim Chatta, He treated me like a slave.

ha. judging them overall. not on this 10 mins. hard to believe you thought that...
Here's what I don't understand about the 2 DM setup. Every week, Gana finds himself in areas in or around the final third where he needs to find a good forward pass and he doesn't have the skills to do that. The space is there but we're wasting those opportunities by giving them to a player who isn't good at moving the ball, especially in tight areas.Why not drop one of Schneiderlin/Gana, ask the remaining DM to stay deep, and take a defensive downgrade at the open position to add quality in the final third? If we were to do a better job of keeping the ball in attacking areas, the defensive downgrade might not even matter.
We haven't started well. We've not even threatened their goal or created a proper chance.20 minutes of two turgid teams with no real idea.
It would make sense to drop one of them and move Sig back deeper if we want to accommodate both him and Rooney.

- Synopsis
- From the launching of America's first newspaper to YouTube's latest phone-videoed crime, the media has always been guilty of indulging America's obsession with controversy. This encyclopedia covers 100 events in world history from the 17th century to the present--moments that alone were major and minor, but ones that exploded in the public eye when the media stepped in. Topics covered include yellow journalism, the War of the Worlds radio broadcast, the Kennedy-Nixon debates, JFK's assassination, the Pentagon papers, and Hurricane Katrina. These are events that changed the way the media is used-not just as a tool for spreading knowledge, but as a way of shaping and influencing the opinions and reactions of America's citizens. Thanks to the media's representations of these events, history has been changed forever. From classified military plans that leaked out to the public to the first televised presidential debates to the current military tortures caught on tape, Breaking News will demonstrate not only an ever-evolving system of news reporting, but also the ways in which historical events have ignited the media to mold news in a way that resonates with America's public. This must-have reference work is ideal for journalism and history majors, as well as for interested general readers.Chapters are in chronological order, beginning with the 17th century. Each chapter starts with a brief introduction, followed by media event entries from that decade. Each entry explains the moment, and then delivers specific details regarding how the media covered the event, America's response to the coverage, and how the media changed history.

|"The supreme issue, involving all others, is the
encroachment of the powerful few on the rights of the many."
The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition
This article is part of the Tobacco portal on Sourcewatch funded from 2006 - 2009 by the American Legacy Foundation. Help expose the truth about the tobacco industry.
This article is part of the Center for Media & Democracy's spotlight on front groups and corporate spin.
The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition (TASSC) is a now-defunct, industry-funded PR front group run by the APCO Worldwide public relations firm. It worked to hang the label of "junk science" on environmentalists. Created in 1993, TASSC began as a front for Philip Morris, which was attempting to discredit ETS (Environmental Tobacco Smoke) research as a long-term cause of increased cancer and heart problem rates in the community -- especially among office workers and children living with smoking parents.[1] It advanced industry-friendly positions on a wide range of topics, including global warming, smoking, phthalates, and pesticides. Later still, they extended the role of TASSC to Europe using Dr. George Carlo. [2]
A "Sound Science" Award for Gina Kolata's Reporting on Silicon Breast Implants
In 1995 TASSC awarded New York Times science reporter Gina Kolata its "Sound Science in Journalism Award." Announcing the award TASSC Chairman Garrey Carruthers praised Kolata "who responsibly detailed in a series of stories how science has been distorted and manipulated to fuel litigation concerning silicone breast implants." [1]
Explaining their award to Gina Kolata TASSC wrote that she "wrote several articles on how science has been distorted and manipulated to advance implant-related litigation. Why it was chosen: Everyone seemed to be afraid to talk about it -- the FDA has treated the issue like a hot potato and respected scientific researchers and medical professionals were criticized and harassed when they spoke out . It would have been an easy issue to avoid, but Kolata courageously took it on. Her articles were well-balanced and presented the strong scientific case -- and why it had been distorted in the first place -- for silicone breast implants." [2]
Junk Science
Steven J. Milloy, began his career with TASSC.
"Public health professionals need to be aware that the "sound science" movement is not an indigenous effort from within the profession to improve the quality of scientific discourse, but reflects sophisticated public relations campaigns controlled by industry executives and lawyers whose aim is to manipulate the standards of scientific proof to serve the corporate interests of their clients. " [3]
The Philip Morris effort also spawned the "junk science" home page. junkscience.com writer/editor/publisher Steven Milloy worked for TASSC, ultimately as its executive director before the sham operation was allowed to fade out of existence:
"...by 1995, a TASSC Web site was being planned with PM to distribute scientific papers and polls to support PM's position. 44 TASSC and its Web site are now defunct, but its executive director Steve Milloy, an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute (a libertarian think tank in Washington, DC, that has received funds from the tobacco industry), now produces a "junk science" Web site. Milloy's Web site continues TASSC's original work in criticizing and "debunking" the science behind public health and environmental issues, including secondhand smoke."
Milloy's association with tobacco continues, as acknowledged [4] on his website. [5]
The Whitecoat Project
One of the forerunners of TASSC at Philip Morris was a 1988 "Proposal for the Whitecoat Project," named after the white laboratory coats that scientists sometimes wear. The project had four goals: "Resist and roll back smoking restrictions. Restore smoker confidence. Reverse scientific and popular misconception that ETS is harmful. Restore social acceptability of smoking."
To achieve these goals, the plan was to first "generate a body of scientific and technical knowledge" through research "undertaken by whitecoats, contract laboratories and commercial organizations"; then "disseminate and exploit such knowledge through specific communication programs." Covington & Burling, PM's law firm, would function as the executive arm of the Whitecoat Project, acting as a "legal buffer ... the interface with the operating units (whitecoats, laboratories, etc.)."
The effort to create a scientific defense for secondhand smoke was only one component in the tobacco industry's multi-million-dollar PR campaign. To defeat cigarette excise taxes, a Philip Morris strategy document outlined plans for "Co-op efforts with third party tax organizations"--libertarian anti-taxation think tanks, such as Americans for Tax Reform, Citizens for a Sound Economy, Citizens for Tax Justice and the Tax Foundation. Other third party allies included the National Journalism Center, the Heartland Institute, the Claremont Institute, and National Empowerment Television, a conservative TV network.
In one memo to Philip Morris CEO Michael A. Miles, vice president Craig L. Fuller noted that he was "working with many third party allies to develop position papers, op-eds and letters to the editor detailing how tobacco is already one of the most heavily regulated products in the marketplace, and derailing arguments against proposed bans on tobacco advertising." [6]
In April 1996, Milloy proclaimed himself a public health expert and began turning out a stream of anti-environmental, anti-public health commentary through his "Junk Science" homepage (www.junkscience.com). The site claims to debunk bad science used by lawsuit-happy trial lawyers, the 'food police,' environmental Chicken Littles, powerdrunk regulators, and unethical-to-dishonest scientists to fuel specious lawsuits, wacky social and political agendas, and the quest for personal fame and fortune. Although Milloy's Junk Science Home Page does not disclose its specific funding source, the website, Citizens for the Integrity of Science [in 1999], and the debunked TASSC share the same address at 1155 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Suite 300 in Washington, DC. [7]
The phone number for junkscience.com is registered to The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition (a well exposed corporate front group and a former project of the EOP Group) at 1155 Connecticut Ave NW, Suite 300 in Washington, DC. This is the same phone number and address Milloy has used for the Citizens for the Integrity of Science, Junkscience.com, NoMoresScares.com, and of course, the defunct The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition. The fax number used on numerous press releases over the years is "an interoffice fax" at 1155 Connecticut Ave NW,. according to a simple internet search.
Citizens for the Integrity of Science
The internet site, CFIS.org (Citizens for the Integrity of Science), is registered to Steve Milloy's home address in posh Potomac, MD, with Steve Milloy listed as the administrative contact. So who is actually paying for junkscience.com? We don't know, and Milloy has repeatedly refused to disclose his patrons.
CFIS does appear to have some sort of board, though we know of only two members, including Milloy. In a May 11,1999 Freedom of Information Act filed by Citizens for the Integrity of Science posted on the Junkscience web page, Steve Milloy listed himself and Michael Gough of the Competitive Enterprise Institute as "Directors" of Citizens for the Integrity of Science, with TASSC's old 1155 Connecticut address and contact info, which is also Milloy's current business address. [8]
Milloy, an 'Adjunk' Scholar at Cato Institute[9] encountered Rupert Murdoch during Murdock's term as Cato Director -- thus leading to Milloy's Junk Science columns on Fox News website and newspapers. For many years, including Murdoch's term, a Philip Morris V.P. sat on Cato's board, which probably sufficiently explains Milloy's appearance on Cato's payroll.

WP7 was a bad experience
I should never have swapped my iPhone experience for the weak OS that is WP7. But from my mistake there is a little silver Android lining and without trying different mobile OS I could never be sure if I was limiting my mobile experience.
The only mobile OS I have yet to try is Google's Android OS. It'd be easy for me to return to iOS and the iPhone 5 but I'm looking for more than the rigid perfectionism that Apple have devised. So after a brief hands-on in a mobile phone store today(with a Samsung Galaxy S3) and reading this excellent piece on using the Android OS for 29 days my head was turned.
WP7 was frustration after frustration, once I saw past the live-tile interface. Little things like not being able to highlight and copy easily, very little chance to customise the OS to my liking, poor options and non-existent settings didn't help when the best Twitter app, Carbon, decided on the 23rd Sept that they had enough of the WP OS. It left me with an app that I relied on heavily to suddenly stop working and leave too much of a bad taste in my mouth. It also didn't help matters when I discovered the new home for Carbon would be the Android OS!
Tomorrow is the 26th Sept and it's my birthday. Kinda handy that…

Tune in to HLN's "Nancy Grace" at 8 p.m ET for live reports from Florida on the Casey Anthony trial. Also follow the action on the Casey Anthony trial page.
(CNN) -- Casey Anthony's father cried on the witness stand Wednesday in his daughter's capital murder trial as he was questioned about his slain 2-year-old granddaughter, Caylee, and his suicide attempt that followed the discovery of her remains.
Later in the day, Casey Anthony also wiped away tears as a grief expert testified that the reactions to grief vary widely, and that sometimes young mothers who lose their children engage in "risky behavior." Proceedings wrapped up for the day shortly after that testimony.
On January 22, 2009, the date of his attempt at suicide by drinking and taking pills, "It just felt like the right time to go and be with Caylee," George Anthony told prosecutor Jeff Ashton, his voice breaking. "... I just decided it was time for me to get away from all this, to spend time with Caylee."
He recalled calling his family members from a Daytona Beach, Florida, hotel room, in an effort to say goodbye, and writing a suicide note for his wife, Cindy Anthony, to read after his death.
Earlier, George Anthony squared off again with his daughter's defense attorney, bristling at questions from Jose Baez.
Casey Anthony, 25, is charged with seven counts, including first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and misleading police, in Caylee's 2008 death. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against her. She has pleaded not guilty.
Anthony's defense team is trying to discredit the prosecution theory that the Orlando woman rendered Caylee unconscious with chloroform, duct-taped her mouth and nose, and stored the body in her car trunk for a few days before dumping it in the woods.
The defense says Caylee accidentally drowned in the family pool and that Anthony and her father panicked and covered it up. George Anthony has denied those claims.
Caylee was last seen June 16, 2008, although she was not reported missing until 31 days later, on July 15. The little girl's skeletal remains were found in December of the same year near the Anthony home.
"My emotional state, even through today -- it is very hard to accept that I don't have a granddaughter anymore," George Anthony told Ashton.
Under Baez's questioning, George Anthony agreed that he told police in a July 24, 2008 statement that his daughter's trunk smelled like human decomposition -- a smell he was familiar with from his own law enforcement experience in Ohio. He testified Wednesday he was 100% sure he had recognized that smell.
He also said he told law enforcement that day that his daughter "lives on the edge," and "takes things as far as she can take them." He acknowledged that, just after Caylee went missing, he told police something had happened to the little girl and that his daughter was lying. Baez attempted to suggest that George Anthony was "throwing (Casey Anthony) under the bus" to police through his statements.
Obviously, George Anthony replied, something had happened to Caylee, as she was missing. "Casey was the last person I saw with Caylee," he said. "One and one adds up to two ... For you to say that I was doing something wrong, sir, you're wrong."
During the month her daughter was missing, numerous prosecution witnesses including Casey Anthony's former boyfriend, acquaintances and friends testified that she was attending parties, nightclubs and shopping, but never mentioned her missing daughter and they noticed nothing different in her demeanor.
Baez said in his opening statement that Casey Anthony behaved as she did because years of sexual abuse by her father had conditioned her to conceal the truth and hide her pain.
George Anthony has denied abusing his daughter, and did so again Wednesday. "I would never do anything like that to my daughter," he said. "... I would never do anything to harm my daughter in that way."
Grief expert Sally Karioth testified Wednesday that people's reactions to grief vary widely. Young people, in particular, are "reluctant grievers," she said, and may engage in "very risky behavior." That could include visiting bars or getting a tattoo, as Casey Anthony did. "They might say nothing has happened."
Denial is one type of coping mechanism, she said, and people can develop "magical thinking" and convince themselves of something else.
"We call it survivor guilt," she said as Casey Anthony wiped tears from her eyes. But, said Karioth, "I've never had a single patient do it exactly like another single patient."
She said for someone who has grown up in a family where there is a "conspiracy of silence -- don't talk, don't feel, don't share" -- it would be likely that someone would not discuss their grief.
Karioth, who has never interviewed Casey Anthony, testified over prosecutors' objections. Under questioning by Ashton, she acknowledged, "I have to say anything could happen when someone has a great grief." She also said she knew nothing about the facts of the case other than it was about a young woman who had lost her daughter.
Asked by Ashton if it would be unusual for a mother to tell no one her child has died and tell different stories about the child's whereabouts for a month -- including telling her parents that she is in another city with the child -- Karioth said, "I would agree that's a young woman in crisis who is unable to figure out how to make things better." Casey Anthony nodded.
When Ashton asked Karioth her thoughts if all those things happened and the mother had killed her child, defense attorney Dorothy Clay Sims objected, saying, "There is no evidence of that."
"I disagree with counsel," Ashton responded, "and that's for the jury to decide." Perry called a sidebar conference and then a recess. Ashton did not continue the line of questioning.
Baez also asked George Anthony about his suicide attempt, suggesting that he had left a note that "expressed some guilt." Ashton objected, saying the document itself should be entered into evidence, but instead Baez withdrew the question.
After hearing arguments from both sides, Perry said he wanted "some time to contemplate and read a few more cases" before deciding whether the suicide note could be introduced into evidence -- something Ashton said he would do after the defense rested. But, Perry ruled, questions about the suicide attempt were fair game for prosecutors.
Baez pointed out to George Anthony that he made negative statements about his daughter to police on July 24, yet visited her the following day in jail and is seen "saying nice things" on video. George Anthony replied that he was cooperating with law enforcement in an effort to find his granddaughter, but was still trying to keep his daughter's spirits up while she was jailed.
Baez attempted to show that George Anthony's statements on the human decomposition odor had been inconsistent. "I could smell it 3 feet away on the passenger side," George Anthony replied. "When I opened up that door, it smelled like decomposition. Human decomposition ... not the garbage that was in it."
The defense has suggested a bag of garbage left in Casey Anthony's trunk for weeks during a hot Florida summer may have been the source of the odor, although a cadaver dog alerted to it and several witnesses have identified it as the odor of human decomposition.
Baez also peppered George Anthony with questions regarding his media appearances, including those in which he advocated his daughter's innocence in his granddaughter's death. "I didn't want to believe back then that my daughter could be capable of taking the life of her daughter," he replied.
As her father testified, Casey Anthony scribbled notes and occasionally shook her head angrily or whispered to her attorneys. No expression was visible on her face as she watched her father cry on the witness stand.
After lunch, Baez asked George Anthony whether the suicide attempt came because "the pressure was getting to you ... you knew you were being investigated." George Anthony answered that a lot of people were investigated in connection with the case, not just him, and maintained it was a "tumultuous time in my life," along with that of his wife, son and others.
Following George Anthony to the stand was Brandon Sparks, son of former Orange County meter reader Roy Kronk. The elder Kronk found Caylee's remains December 11, 2008. Sparks testified that his father, in a November phone call, told him he had found the remains, but Sparks said he did not realize the significance of that until December 11. His father also told him he was going to be rich and famous, Sparks said.
The defense claims Kronk found the remains months earlier. In his opening statement, Baez called Kronk "a morally bankrupt person who took Caylee's body and hid it ... he thought he had a lottery ticket. ... He can't be ignored in this."
Kronk denies Baez's allegations, according to his attorney, David Evans. Testifying Tuesday, Kronk denied the phone call with his son occurred, saying Sparks was mistaken.
Also called were two officers, including Orange County Detective Yuri Melich, the lead investigator on the case, both of whom testified Kronk did not tell them on December 11 he had called law enforcement several times in August in an attempt to report seeing something in the same wooded area.
Kronk said Tuesday he dropped those efforts after a deputy responded to the scene and "chewed me out," saying he was wasting the county's time. Melich said he found out Kronk had called previously a few days later, on December 17.
Earlier, Casey Anthony spoke in court for the first time, outside the presence of the jury as Perry heard arguments on a defense motion requesting that he declare Florida's death penalty law unconstitutional in light of a recent federal court decision. Perry said he would rule on the motion later.
The judge asked defense attorney Ann Finnell, who argued the motion by telephone, whether she had consulted with Anthony and if she agreed with the motion. Finnell said she had not, but believed Baez and defense attorney J. Cheney Mason had. Neither Baez nor Mason was present for the arguments Wednesday, and Perry asked Anthony if she wanted to answer the question or wait for them to arrive.
"I can answer that now," Casey Anthony said, getting to her feet as she spoke to Perry. "I agree with Ms. Finnell."
This is the sixth week of testimony in the trial. Opening statements began on May 24. Perry originally told jurors, who are being housed in an Orlando hotel shielded from media coverage of the trial, that it could last six to eight weeks.

Planning permission
When you need it
You'll probably need planning permission if you want to:
- build something new
- make a major change to your building, eg building an extension
- change the use of your building
To find out if your project will need planning permission, contact your local planning authority (LPA).
Find out about the planning system in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Applying for planning permission
You can apply for planning permission online.
If your project needs planning permission and you do the work without getting it, you can be served an 'enforcement notice' ordering you to undo all the changes you have made.
It's illegal to ignore an enforcement notice, but you can appeal against it.

When we spring forward to daylight savings time on March 10, we lose an hour of sleep. Most of us feel the effect for just a few days afterward. But for others, lack of sleep is a chronic problem worsened by the time transition.
Alexander Gelfer, M.D, board-certified sleep specialist and medical director of the Sleep Care Centers at Kenmore Mercy and Sisters of Charity St. Joseph Campus, shared some easy-to-follow methods for coping with the transition to one less hour of sleep.
"Most adults are already get less than the recommended seven to nine hours of nightly sleep needed to be fully alert the next day," said Dr. Gelfer.
1. Gradually Transition Into the Time Change
At least two days prior to the time change, go to bed and put your children to bed 15 minutes early. Also set your alarm clock 15 minutes earlier than you usually wake up. This makes it easier for your body to adjust to the new schedule.
2. Get Some Exercise During the Day
Even moderate exercise, such as walking, can help you sleep better. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise, three times a week or more. But avoid exercise within three hours of bedtime.
3. Avoid Stimulating Substances
Alcohol and caffeine can interfere with sleep habits. Instead, relax with a soothing, warm bath and curl up with a book before bed.
4. Eat Light at Night
Indigestion from spicy and fatty food or having too much food on your stomach can cause insomnia.
5. Create a Sleep-Friendly Environment
The relaxing mixture of darkness and quiet is key to a good night's sleep. Whether you try sleep shades, ear plugs, a white-noise machine, or all three, there are plenty of tools available to help block out stimulation and bring on slumber.
Dr. Gelfer adds, "Don't forget the importance of comfort in the equation. Invest in a good mattress and pillow; you'll be repaid in sweet dreams."

While working extensively on development of the Single Page Applications (SPA) I was facing a fact that my server-side data models were evolving quicker than their JavaScript counterparts. Both the client-side and the server-side data models were getting quickly out of sync.
The brute force solution of using the T4 templating engine to emit both the client-side and the server side data models didn't look that appealing to me. Primarily due to a simple fact that it's not that easy to refactor the T4 templates. And, the ReSharper junkie like me, can't tolerate this fact.
So I've decided to give the latest release of Roslyn compiler-as-a-service CTP another spin and use it as part of my build sequence and compile my C# models directly into the appropriate JavaScript ones. This was giving me the advantage of using the C# as a primary development environment and leaving the JavaScript to follow the "big-brother".
Jinx C#-to-JavaScript compiler was created as a result of this exercise. You're welcome to get the Jinx source from the GitHub. I'll appreciate any collaboration on this project.
Note: all of the code is an intermediate solution that was answering my personal needs for the project I was running. It is in no-way represent the full fledge solution. If you want something bigger and more feature-reach, you can either contribute to my solution or look into projects like Script# or SharpKit.

President Obama surely deserves to relax this weekend and enjoy the Super Bowl after an arduous week in which he prepared and delivered his fifth State of the Union message, one the White House admits set forth a rather limited agenda, and then took to the hustings for stops in four states on the campaign trail that has become his natural home. The president might have been spared the chore had Woodrow Wilson, in 1913, not overturned Thomas Jefferson's 1801 decision to deliver only a written message, a move explicitly designed to avoid mimicking the pomp of Britain's King's Speech. Thanks to the Wilson and the forward march of communications technology we now are treated to the spectacle of congressmen vying for seats on the aisle so that they might touch the flesh of the president as he enters the chamber.
Obama did have to make a last-minute change in his message when a new study revealed that one of his major themes, that economic mobility is "declining" in the United States, is not true. The president knows that inequalities of income and wealth have never troubled Americans quite as much as electorates in other countries because of the belief that anyone can rise above his or her birth-station by dint of hard work, with the current occupants of the White House prime examples of that upward mobility. So he hoped to attack inequality of opportunity. When the president was into the nth draft of his speech, Raj Chetty and Emmanuel Saez, professors at Harvard and the University of California, respectively, reported that their study of tens of millions of tax records proved that economic mobility has not, as the president was saying, "declined." Instead, it has remained essentially unchanged for the past twenty years, reducing support for the idea that a crisis demanding government action is upon us. It would, of course, be good if mobility had increased, but stability beats decline by a long shot.
Still, the president seems to have hit upon a related theme that resonates with many, and perhaps a majority of Americans: rising income inequality unrelated to job performance. Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMogan Chase, after presiding over management miscues that resulted in fines of some $20 billion and still counting, is deemed by the bank's board (which he chairs) to be worthy of a reward of a 74 percent pay rise while real wages of middle class workers remain virtually unchanged for decades. Anecdotes such as this trump demonstrations that rising income inequality is ameliorated by the progressive tax system and transfer payments, that it has its roots in the malign effect of globalization on unskilled workers, and that it is a consequence of the Federal Reserve Board's decision to fight the recession by driving up the value of assets such as shares and houses, a decision that in the long run might benefit middle class workers, but then again might not.
This voter unease has focused the minds of the politicians who hope to remain in or join the House of Representatives and the senate after the November elections. Some want to "give America a raise" by increasing the federal minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $10.10, as Obama urged them to do during his State of the Union message. "It's easy to remember 10.10. It will help families. It will give businesses customers with more money to spend," said the president. It would do that, concede the president's critics, but only be reducing the pay of many workers from $7.25 per hour to zero, as they are laid off, for example, by fast-food franchises that further automate the food preparation process. At this writing it seems unlikely that congress will go along with the increase in the minimum wage, adding to the embarrassment caused for the president by Senate majority leader Harry Reid, who has just said "no" to Obama's request for the fast-track authority he needs if he is to conclude trade deals with Pacific rim and European trading partners.
Others want to help the unemployed by passing legislation proposed by the president to extend the usual 26-weeks of unemployment benefits by perhaps three months, the previous 99-week extension having expired at year end. That, say Obama's critics, would only discourage many of those who have dropped out of the work force to remain on their couches rather than renew their efforts to find work, or seek training that would suit them for what the president calls "21st century jobs," many of which are now unfilled. All seem to agree that whether the problem is too few jobs, too few good-paying jobs of the sort that built the American middle class, or too much being siphoned off by "the 1 percent," more rapid economic growth would be part of any solution. That, say such as former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, just might be beyond our reach. He worries that we might have entered a period he tags with the long-forgotten label "secular stagnation"-growth too slow to produce full employment, or of a nature that relies more and more on robots and other substitutes for human labor.
Meanwhile, the president is urging Congress to pass a new stimulus package to fund another try at creating jobs by rebuilding the nation's infrastructure. Never mind that perhaps 2,000 (Obama) to 20,000 (Keystone advocates) jobs are there for the taking if the president would end three years of stalling and approve the Keystone Pipeline that would bring more Canadian oil to the U.S. To Obama, there are good jobs, such as installing solar panels on rooftops, erecting wind farms, and growing marijuana, and bad jobs, such as mining coal or building an oil pipeline from Canada to the U.S.
A bruised president, hemmed in by a Constitution that places power of the purse in the hands of a Republican-controlled House of Representatives, and by an electorate that disapproves of his job performance, nevertheless proclaims this a "Year of Action" in which he will deploy two weapons. The first is the power of the presidential pen (and a photo of said implement released to the press), to be used to bypass Congress and rule by executive order, notably in the energy sector by having his regulators write rules affecting carbon emissions.
The second is by seeking cooperation from the private sector and ordinary citizens. He has extracted pledges from several leading businesses not to discriminate against the long-term unemployed when filling job vacancies; is asking moms to persuade their healthy youngsters to sign up for Obamacare to offset the large number of sick and elderly who might drive insurance premiums to unaffordable levels; and is asking those children to guide their moms through the computer maze they confront when seeking to enroll in his health care program-"Your mom will appreciate hearing from you," he joked.
The general consensus among Democrats is that the president has set a usable stage for the coming elections, and among Republicans is that his speech was a confession of a lack of power to implement even a modest agenda. Independents will be heard from on Election Day.

We report on the observation of spin wave quantization in tangentially magnetized Ni80Fe20 discs by means of Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy. For a large wave vector interval several discrete, dispersionless modes with a frequency splitting up to 2.5 GHz were observed. The modes are identified as being magne-tostatic surface spin wave modes quantized by their lateral confinement in the disc. For the lowest modes dynamic magnetic dipolar coupling between the discs is found for a disc spacing of 0.1microm.
An experimental study of spin wave quantization in arrays of micron size magnetic Ni80Fe20 islands (dots and wires) by means of Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy is reported. Dipolar-dominated spin wave modes laterally quantized in a single island with quantized wavevector values determined by the size of the island are studied. In the case of wires the frequencies of the modes and the transferred wavevector interval, where each mode is observed, are calculated. The results of the calculations are in a good agreement with the experimental data. In the case of circular dots the frequencies of the lowest observed modes decrease with increasing distance between the dots, thus indicating an essential dynamic magnetic dipole interaction between the dots with small interdot distances.

Two major wide release films have eventually worked their way through the inscrutable baffling shuffle of scheduling to land on the Dec 21 solstice date. Jack Reacher (which we dealt with in the previous post) and This Is 40.
Sync is Union becoming aware of Itself.
The Dec 21 released This Is 40 and intimately related 2012 poster below are then perfect illustrations of what Dec 21 is, SYNC.
(thanks @indradhanush42)
me and @sincwinnipeg explore the association between the the action of sinking, the household sink and the concept sync.
Above is a scene from The Da Vinci Code starring Tom Hanks where he cuts himself shaving at the sink. The resulting bloodline, flowing down the sync whole, gives him an "Aha!" moment to solve the puzzle of the location of the Holy Grail.
The Holy Grail is Self Realization aka Sync.
@NexusOfSync posted the above scene from The Da Vinci Code today on twitter with this comment:
Tom Hanks' sink Sync scene leading to the sacred feminine / ISIS / Mary
Isis is the Is that realizes it Is aka Self Realization/Sync.
One eyed Isis
The Ankh is the Anchor that Syncs into the depth and grounds us in the mystery of Self.
Tim Murphy's "Tom Hanks and the Twin Towers"
Also worth remembering that Tom Hanks has a special relationship with 2001: Space Odyssey (aka "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite").
Updates soon, flow willing....
KevIndra: The Jack theme jumps out to me for a few reasons. My brother brought to my attention Sam Rockwells connection with the Moon, and his resonation with Sync and 42 via Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy. Rockwell stars in "Jack and his Friends" a film from the 90s. All of this will soon connect by way of a Thin Red Line :)
Also @Seallion pointed out to me on twitter that Rockwell goes after the JACK of Diamonds killer in the new film "Seven Psychopaths".
As Jake has pointed out above, the December 21st 2012 date entrains with Jack, Jupiter, and the number 42/Rainbow.
Following Sam Rockwells Jack connects leads us to the fact that he also stars in a film called "13 Moons", which entrains with the focal point of the 12/21/2012 event, the 13 Moons cycles the Calendar is based on, and the 13 Backtun cycle of the Mayan Calendar that ends exactly on 12/21/12.
13 Moons is a beautiful movie about people experiencing lifes greatest ups and downs, and most of the time never realizing how interconnected their lives are, and what kind of synchronistic circumstances lead us to right where we are all the time. Just like the year 2012 has been approaching and gathering consciousness of interconnectedness, unity, and raised awareness of the power of the universe itself.
There are precisely 13 Moons in 364 days, making a perfect year. In the advanced Mayan Calendar system, which explores complexities of alignments and vibratory synergies, we are approaching the end date of the 13th Baktun.
"The current (13th) baktun will end, or be completed, on 18.104.22.168.0 December 21, 2012"- Wikipedia
This leads us to the interesting Sync narrative that I have been following in my work since 2008. The Archetype of the Rainbow, and the theme of our consciousness opening up to worlds and life beyond the physical. In 2008 I started writing about the number 42 because it was popping out in my daily life and in pop films with increasing frequency. In the year 2009 I began exploring the number 42s relationship to the Rainbow, finding and connecting the many actors and films that vivify our connection to the Eternal mystery.
Jose Arguelles may as well be considered the forefather of Western interest in the Mayan Calendar and the 2012 date. Jose beleived that if humanity could come together in unity, see past the illusion of time, and collectively imagine and create a Rainbow Bridge around the Earth, that Humanity could successfully move into the next stage of evolution beyond time and form. Jose called the creation of this Rainbow Bridge the "Circumpolar Rainbow Bridge".
Here we have some beautiful and clear connections showing that the building of the Rainbow Bridge AKA realization of our Spiritual Nature beyond form, is a process that has been underway in human consciousness and is connected to the "End Date" of the Mayan Calendar. Perfectly entraining 12/21/12 with The Rainbow/42/Jupiter memes we have been exploring here for years.
Another interesting connection between the 2012 Rainbow Bridge activation and JACK is Michael JACKson and his Rainbow rich Career.
"Michael got very retrospective in the last few weeks, he was talking about God and the Mayan calendar and the year 2012 — which is when the Mayan calendar ends." - ShowbizGypsy
The week before JACKson passed away, I had already been chasing his connection to the Rainbow Bridge between worlds, vivified by his roles in "the Wiz", "Captain Eo", and "Moonwalker", all films featuring JACKson literally wearing a Rainbow in some form or another.
When MJ passed away I was hit with Sync-Shock, feeling as though I somehow may have had psychic pre-cognition of his passing. I went after the first peice of pop media about Jacksons death that next week, and of course South Park delivered a clear Sync confirmation that Jacksons career is the expression of the Rainbow Bridge process underway in consciousness.
Zelda Rubinstein of Poltergeist(bridge between worlds) and the Skittles (Taste the Rainbow) commercials is hired to help Jacksons soul cross over to the next world as seen above in South Park. Both of these characters careers Rainbow Auras are explored in depth in my video "Film a thin Skin or Membrane".
December 21st is also the birthdate of Kiefer Sutherland aka JACK Bauer of 24, who stars in Dark City, whos cover resonates with the number 12, midnight, and our calendric midnight hour of 12/21/12.
Jack Bauer/Kiefer Sutherland(keeper of the Southernland/Underworld) stars in the 42 entraining television show "24". He also explores the Spiritual afterlife in the film "Flatliners" and explores similiar reality tunnels in the film "Dark City". On top of all of this he is the Star of a brand new Television show called TOUCH that is all about Sync!
2011 was the Year of the Rabbit. Just like in Alice in Wonderland we follow the White Rabbit into Wonderland, where before we complete our Journey must meet with the Dragon/Jabberwocky aka the Shadow.
Sutherland follows the White Rabbit in the film "After Alice" and Slays the Jabberwocky aka Dragon. Just like we must followed the 2011 White Rabbit into 2012 Wonderland and now will face our fears of the "End Times" as we slay the Jabberwocky Dragon on Kiefers Birthday 12/21/12. Kiefer also slays dragons in the animated movie Dragonlance.
Kiefer stars as the father of a gifted child in the new TV show called TOUCH. In this show Kiefer comes to find out his son is something of a Melchizidek, a Spirit born on Earth to heal the wounds of seperation between people. By finding subtle synchronistic connections between numbers, events, and people, Kiefers son JAKE is able to help heal the world and teach others interconnectedness with the help of his dad, JACK Bauer of 24/42.
In the television show we learn that a Character played by Danny Glover has been working with these gifted children over the years, and trying to keep them from being manipulated by those in power. Glover explains SYNC to Sutherland through a Chinese fable known as the Legend of the Red Thread that interconnects all people and events throughout time.
Glover teaching Sutherland about the Red Thread of Sync in Touch.
Glover is also President of the United States in the movie 2012, which takes place on the Mayan Calendar end date, Sutherlands birthday, 12/21/12.
Check out this beautiful string of connections between the RED LINE of Touch/Jack/24/42, the Movie 2012, and the movie THIN RED LINE. Wow!
Frost re-enters the Sync Stream here. Frost is Winter Personified, thus a pointer toward the 12/21 date. Woody Harrelson plays Charlie Frost in the film 2012, which connects through the Red Thread to the film "the Thin Red Line" which also features Harrelsons 2012 co-star John Cusack. Other wacky Jack sync is explored in this little diagram.
The Red Thread unties and unites us all
Update 11/27/12 - Kevindra
Tonights Colbert Report featured Colbert and Dolly Parton singing a song called "Your love is like a Butterfly". I explored the Butterflies connection to Sink in the recent post Psyncho.
Etymologically Psyche can be traced back to its roots in the Latin and Greek word for Soul as well as Butterfly. Psyche/Butterfly/Soul is the root for many of the words beginning with Psych. The word is also etymologically connected to the verb "To Blow", bringing to mind the Blow of Icaros made familiar to us Syncsters via @Syncwinnipeg , and also the Western Magickal attribution of the Element Air/Wind to matters of the Mind/Psyche/Butterfly
When mixing Psyncho @Syncwinnipeg or Jim unintentionally faded the classic image of the Psycho Knife and the appearance of a Neon Butterfly not yet knowing this connection.
We are approaching the last full Moon of 2012 and the completion of the 13 Moon Cycle oriented Mayan Calendars 13th Baktun round, and the completion of the Rainbow Bridge prophecy.
Seven PSYCHOpaths is in Theatres during this Lunar Phase and Fullnes and features Sam Rockwell of MOON, where his character became a LUNAtic/Psynchpath
When we have a look at the Moons Tarot Trump, we can notice that there are 9 Drops of Blood that are symbolic to the Moons connections with the tides of the human body such as the Female gestation period. We could even call the Menstrual Blood the Red Sea. The Period is the END.
"the pain and the bloodshed ..... humanity is in a birth canal, we are about to be born, and it's not whether is gonna happen or not, it will happen, but it's up to us to make it less painful....do your mother a favor and be born!..." - Terrence McKenna
This is an interesting connection because this tarot trump features the Waters of the underworld/unconscious which the Moon is the ruler of, and is given the Astrological Water sign of Pisces or Pi Seas.
Also in theaters this Lunar Phase is "Rise of the Guardians" who's main character Jack Frost, who saves the world from fear and darkness by defeating the evil spirit Pitch Black. Jack Frost and overcoming of the darkness/shadow points to the 12/21 Mayan Lunar Calendar date.
When the Sun rises and begins its northward movement on the 3rd Day Jack will have defeated Pitch Black.
In the beginning of the film Jack Frost gets his name from the Moon, and later travels via a Spectral Rainbow Bridge to meet the Guardians who communicate with the voice of the Moon through a Crystal. The Mayan Calendar also listens to the Moon, very cool stuff.
"Rise of the Guardians tells the story of a group of heroes -- each with extraordinary abilities. When an evil spirit, known as Pitch, lays down the gauntlet to take over the world, the immortal Guardians must join forces for the first time to protect the hopes, beliefs and imagination of children all over the world."
I caught a cool Psycho poster design contest Winner that resonates the Moons connection to the Psycho/Lunatic/Psyche/Butterfly. This Poster is a Sink-Hole in one. I can even perceive it as a Moon surrounded by Stars. The Silver Lining.
Silver is the Color and Metal given to the Moon by the Western Esoteric Tradition. The Mayan Calendar and its 13-Moon centric timekeeping is the Silver Lining Playbook.
Have no fear the Rainbow Serpent is here. We have the Silver Lining Playbook and the path is clear.
"When the earth is ravaged and the animals are dying, a new tribe of people shall come unto the earth from many colors, classes, creeds, and who by their actions and deeds shall make the earth green again. They will be known as the Warriors of the Rainbow"
-- Hopi Prophecy

Rejoice, The Hunger Games fans! Production has officially started on the Francis Lawrence-directed follow-up, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. According to their press release, the film "will shoot primarily in existing locations in and near Atlanta, Georgia. The film will subsequently be shot on location in the beaches and jungles of Hawaii before wrapping in late December, 2012." Perhaps more importantly, the director has recorded a video message for fans, announcing a worldwide sweepstakes that will win some lucky fans a chance to visit the set and participate in a cast and crew Q&A!
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire stars Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson, in addition to Sam Claflin, Jeffrey Wright, Tony Shalhoub, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jena Malone, Amanda Plummer, Lynn Cohen, Bruno Gunn, Alan Ritchson, E. Roger Mitchell, Meta Golding, Elizabeth Banks, Donald Sutherland and Woody Harrelson. Hit the jump for the video from Francis Lawrence and details on the fan set visit contest. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire opens November 22, 2013.
Check out the video from Lawrence below (via The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Facebook page). Be patient if the contest site doesn't load; I believe they're doing some maintenance on it as of the writing of this article.
THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE – Win a Trip to Set Sweeps!
Got a question for the cast of THE HUNGER GAMES:
CATCHING FIRE? Submit your video & be entered to win a trip to set, take in the sites & sounds of production, hang out with fans from across the world & you may even get the chance to ask your question in person!
THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a "Victor's Tour" of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) – a competition that could change Panem forever.
THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE in theaters, November 22, 2013.

I'm trying to decide what to do here. It looks like SWShop has gotten some stock in of the Slave Leia, R2, and 3PO keys. I can really only afford to get one, and I'm not sure which way to go. I tried to order the Leia initially from ACME, but my computer was having issues and it didn't happen. This way, I could at least attempt to have a complete set of the OT keys. The question is, will there be an R2/3PO released in the OT line - or will these Clone Wars ones be the only versions? I'd hate to have a collection of these without R2 and 3PO.
If I were in your situation, I would get the Leia key- if I remember correctly, the edition sizes on the droids is higher anyway, so you are more likely to be able to get these reasonably later on.
Are they going to do any more of these?
Quote from: Deanna Rash on April 17, 2007, 03:52 PMAre they going to do any more of these?Based on the popularity of these so far, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet, especially now that they're moving into OT characters. C'mon Vader!
Bring on Qui-Gon!
I don't have the full plan ready for you guys just yet, but here is the gist of it:1. There will be a page set up strictly for this sale.2. We will set aside two-hundred (200) keys to be sold to those fans that are unable to attend the convention. The non-attendee keys will not ship until June 1st and will have an additional shipping and handling fee of $3. If you are attending CIV, PLEASE do not take one of these 200 pieces out of the hands of someone unable to attend.3. The remaining keys will be sold online before the convention begins. The pre-sold keys will be held and available for pickup at the convention anytime before noon on Monday, May 28th; after that time, they will be available to anyone at the convention. You will need your receipt/invoice to pick up your key and, again, the limit is one per person.4. Any keys not pre-sold will be taken to the convention and sold to walk-up customers while supplies last.No dates yet, but we're figuring them out. This at least gives everyone a general idea as to what we are planning (and, of course, none of this is set in stone just yet).Thanks,Morly

There are a bunch of options when it comes to instrumentation for the '66-67 Novas in today's market. Just about everything under the sun is available. There are simple dual or triple under-dash gauge units, dash inserts that make it a snap to install round-style gauges, and direct replacement clusters with upgraded gauges.
The most budget-friendly gauges are the double-/triple-gauge under-dash units, which range from $35 for the simple ones up to $350 for the high-end gauges. While they are functional and do the job intended for, they still look added on to the interior.
Even with all those cool things available there was still a missing segment on the market, which is a stock-looking upgrade. To fill in that gap in the market, Shiftworks now offers a new gauge conversion that upgrades the factory cluster by replacing the single fuel gauge and clock (or block-off plate) with dual gauge sets on each side of the cluster like that found in the '66-67 SS Chevelles. These gauges are designed to fit the existing openings in the back of the dash and include all fittings necessary to hook up the gauges, including the temperature sending unit and the mechanical oil-pressure line and fittings.
We found a very clean '67 that had a new interior kit in it, but the dash hadn't been touched. We set forth to add the new needles and also freshen up the rest of the dashboard by changing out the cracked dash pad and cluster bezel. We picked up all the parts and pieces from Chevy II Only, and the work can be accomplished in a single day with simple handtools with no need to cut or modify your stock components.
What It Is And What It Cost

Squirrel Rushes the Field at Women's Soccer Game [VIDEO]
A squirrel ran onto the field at a women's soccer match this weekend in what was either an attempt to either make the team or ask one of the women out on a date. If it's the former, he didn't help his cause by running around in circles and then laying down. If it was the latter, well he was darn adorable, so one of the ladies might say yes.
Check out the furry disruption below:
