Two weeks ago, Gov. Peter Shumlin used his inaugural address to lay out his legislative priority: education.
Thursday, he'll stand before the House and Senate again, and explain how the state will pay for reforms as a $50 million-$70 million budget gap looms.
"Exactly what things are going to be cut and the impact on working Vermonters, on low-income Vermonters in particular, are of interest to Progressives," said Rep. Chris Pearson, P-Burlington.
"I'm looking for the governor to show us how we're going to get through this, what we're going to do for the future, so we don't have to raise a bunch of taxes," said Rep. Don Turner, R-Milton.
Wednesday, the state economist told legislators revenue projections are likely too rosy, widening the fiscal gap.
Senate Finance Committee chairman Tim Ashe says it's the fourth straight session where they'll need to do more with less.
"Whether we're looking at the sustainability of our education fund, our transportation revenues, health care financing-- across the board we know that the revenue streams of the past are no longer adequate for the future," said Ashe, D/P-Chittenden.
In his inaugural address, the only funding specifics the governor proposed-- re-routing tax-credit dollars to pay for universal pre-K-- drew mostly negative reviews. Legislators called it a great priority, but disagree with the funding mechanism.
"It'll be hard to decipher everything in just one budget address, but making sure that there's equity across the board, I think, is the overarching goal on all those issues," Ashe said.
Somehow, the governor will need to find a way to balance the budget while coping with a range of expenses from health reform, to a transportation budget on empty. With one day to go, he hasn't offered a glimpse publicly of how he'll get it done.
The House of Representatives did pass a budget amendment to cover a $5 million hole in the current budget Wednesday. That measure now heads to the Senate for debate.

The south coast of Jamaica is the hidden side of the island, far from the tourist crowds yet filled with adventure, beauty and beaches that will melt your heart. The south coast of Jamaica is lined by glorious beaches, wonderfully traditional fishing villages and holiday villas that date back centuries. The unspoilt nature, stunning landscapes and absolute peace you shall encounter from a holiday rental villa on the South Coast of Jamaica will make you fall in love with this region of Jamaica, and have you returning year after year.
The secluded beaches of the south coast of Jamaica are a real treat. You will have many miles of golden sand to yourself, blessed by the sunniest climate in Jamaica. The beaches remain wonderfully peaceful throughout the day, springing into life in the evening when fishermen return to sell their days' catch. The beach of Bluefield's Bay stretches 6km, broken into a string of small, secluded beaches by mangrove outcrops, providing visitors with an exceptional choice of spots on which to lay their towel. The beach is perfect for swimming and snorkelling, and during May and June, you can pick fresh mangoes straight from the trees. Behind the beach, jerk fish, Red Stripe and fresh fruit can be bought.
If you can bear to drag yourself from the beach, there is plenty worth exploring inland. The large cattle station at Paradise Park offers horses for hire, as well as guided rides and lessons. The Font Hill Wildlife Sanctuary is home to an amazing variety of birds including heron, egrets and blue winged teal. For those with an interest in rum, (if you don't before you arrive at a Jamaican villa, you certainly will by the time you leave!), the Appleton Rum Estate offers excellent tours.
There river networks on the south coast of Jamaica offer a huge amount of entertainment. Trips along the Black River are great fun, especially if you find any fresh water crocodiles which live in the river. Trips along the Black River take visitors into the freshwater swamps of Jamaica, where white heron, manatee and crocodiles can be seen. The Y.S. Falls are the most spectacular in Jamaica, and well worth exploring from any Jamaican accommodation on the south coast.
When the sun sets, the south coast of Jamaica is an excellent place to eat. The seafood is magnificent, especially the spicy peppered shrimp and the irresistible lobster dishes. Those who would prefer to try their hand at cooking Jamaican style seafood from the comfort of their own self catering Jamaica accommodation will have plenty of opportunity. Local fishermen sell their daily catches at colourful market stalls all along the coastline, at fantastically low prices, and you shall never want for advice on the methods used to get full flavour from their catch.
The town of Mandeville is the principle town of Manchester parish. Located in the mountains, Mandeville is a wonderfully refreshing place to visit on Jamaica's south coast, and an ideal base for walking, horse riding and golf holidays. There is an amazingly English atmosphere to Mandeville, with some beautifully quaint villas and holiday homes to rent.
There are two international airports in Jamaica, Sangster International and the Norman Manly International Airport (KIN), both receiving direct flights from the UK. The Sangster International Airport (MBJ) near Montego Bay, is the busier of the two, receiving flights from London, Manchester (MAN) and Birmingham (BHX) on Thomas Cook Airlines and ThomsonFly. British Airways and Virgin Atlantic both offer flights fromLondonto Norman Manley Airport too.

2 tablespoons
salt, or as needed
2 pounds
eggplant, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1/2 cup
1 cup
matzo meal
1 tablespoon
olive oil
1 large
onion, chopped
red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup
sliced mushrooms
3 tablespoons
olive oil, or as needed
1 (26 ounce) jar
tomato basil pasta sauce
1 (8 ounce) package
fresh part-skim mozzarella, sliced
This is very tasty! I had all of the ingredients on hand with the exception of the matzo meal so I used a 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup italian bread crumbs mixed together - perfect! I also have a lap band and for anyone who has a lap band they will appreciate this recipe (I ate TWO CUP)! Thank you for sharing MelissaD
The taste is very good, however it was too gloppy for my taste. Perhaps if portabello mushrooms were substituted. Also browning the eggplant slices took too much time. I should have read the recipe more carefully. :)

Wonderful recipe. I'm not Jewish, but I have a lapband which does not allow me to eat lasagne pasta...too thick & gets tuck. This recipe is an answer to my prayers for a lasagne that I can enjoy as well as my family. We didn't even miss the pasta! YUM! Thanks!!!
Yummy yummy this was a big hit with my family they loved it. No meat and I droped the mozzarella the frist time I made it and they still love it. Today they will have it with the mozzarella so i know I wi hear yommy yummy again. 5 statrs :)
Very good! Put a layer of provolone cheese in the middle., and used grilled portabello mushrooms
I was a little skeptical about making this. I am not jewish but I did have a couple over for last night who happen to be jewish and he is strictly on a kosher diet and a vegetarian and the other well, is jewish as well but isnt as strict in her diet. So I said "what the heck let me try this out". And I am so glad I did. I ended up using about 2 small-medium sized eggplants. I am so glad I used the matzo meal instead of bread crumbs. I think that is something that I will be using often. That was my first time having matzo meal. I didnt just use red pepper I also added a little bit of yellow and green. I also used 2 packages of a mushrooms medley that were mixed with all kind of exotic mushrooms and oooh so yummy. My husband and I love mushrooms especially the mixed medley kind. About $4 bucks a package. The only thing I would do differently is layer the mozzarella between the veggies and eggplant. And 1 package is not enough. I used 2 and I wish I had bought more. But the exciting thing for me was that my guests loved it and even asked for some more to take home with them for lunch tomorrow. I am not kidding! I was like "sure!" I was so happy knowing I had pleased my finicky guests lol. It was fun. And would gladly make this again. It was a lot of fin making sort if like a mini art project. I wanted everthing to look perfect! Happy eating people!!! xoxo
This is so good it must be criminal! I used italian bread crumbs because that is what I had on hand. I added some fresh spinach at the end of sauteeing the onions/peppers/mushrooms and also put some ground beef in my pasta sauce and layered some cheese in the middle. Husband had second helping, really enjoyed the dish.
Sadly, I went to two stores here in Tucson, Arizona and couldn't find Matzo :-( I used panko, and it still tasted amazing. Love the simple ingredients. Used Paul Newman's tomato basil spaghetti sauce. Delish!

Homicide investigators are gathering evidence after a father shoots and kills a teenage boy he found in his daughter's bedroom.
A spokesperson for the Harris County Sheriff's office said Deputy constables from pct 4 responded to a 911 call around 2:20 a.m. about a shooting in the Bridgestone Lake Subdivision in Northwest Harris County.
Police tell FOX 26 reporter John Donnelly that the father was notified that there was someone in his daughter's bedroom by one of his other children.
The father then went into the girl's bedroom and discovered the 17 year old male in bed with his 16 year old daughter. The daughter denied knowing who the boy was.
A confrontation between the father and boy started. The boy apparently wasn't listening to the father's commands and reached for something. It ended with 17 year old being shot and killed at the scene.
The 16 year old girl later admitted to investigators that she did know the boy and had let him into the home.
The father was taken by ambulance from the home for treatment of an unrelated medical situation.
So far no arrests have been made.

With a choice of four different iPads, choosing between the iPad mini, iPad 2, 'new' iPad 3 and the even newer iPad 4 with Retina display is a tricky proposition. We offer a helping hand with our expert buying advice.
If you're in the market for an iPad, you probably thought it would be easy deciding which one to buy. Chances are you've already discovered it's not as straightforward as you thought. For each of the four generations that Apple has produced, there are different capacities, those with 3G and those without, and - for all but the first-gen - black and white models of each.
The latest models are the iPad with Retina display (also known as the iPad 4) and the iPad mini. Only the Retina version is available in a 128GB model, but as we'll discuss, there are ways to boost an iPad's storage so you don't necessarily need to fork out for extra capacity.
A new 9.7in iPad could be just around the corner, so if you're not in a hurry you might want to wait since Apple hasn't changed the basic design since the iPad 2 in 2011. See also: iPad 5 release date, specs and rumours
Which is the best iPad: 3G, 4G or Wi-Fi only?
First up, decide on the basics. Do you need mobile data or not? If you want to use Facebook, email or YouTube in the car or on the train, you're going to want a 3G version (or 4G if you're buying one of the two newest iPads). 4G models are backwards compatible with 3G, so you won't have to pay over the odds for a 4G data SIM. Currently, there are some good deals on data-only SIMs, from Three and giffgaff.
Stick with a Wi-Fi only iPad if you'll mainly use your tablet at home on your wireless network or when connected to your office Wi-Fi.
If you're after an internet connection when abroad, it will typically be cheaper to find a Wi-Fi hotspot in a café or hotel than roaming on a UK SIM. However, buying a pre-paid foreign SIM from a supplier such as Dataroam can also work out fairly cheap.
One important factor to bear in mind is that Wi-Fi only iPads do not have a GPS receiver (a fact which has always annoyed us), so can only approximate your location using Wi-Fi hotspots. This means that if you want to use your iPad for directions (or merely locating your position accurately on the move) you will need to buy a 3G / 4G iPad.
Which is the best iPad: 7.9in or 9.7in?
The iPad mini is the first to have a screen smaller than 9.7in. Although the difference is less than 2in, it has a bigger effect than you might think. For one thing, you can hold an iPad mini in one hand - you can only balance a 9.7in iPad on one hand, or struggle to hold it at one edge.
The iPad mini has the same resolution as an iPad 2, so everything is the same but in miniature. The iPad 3 (no longer sold on Apple's website) and iPad 4 (now called the iPad with Retina display) both have the same 2048 x 1536 screen which makes everything look amazingly smooth, even up close.
The good news is that you have the same choice of apps regardless of which iPad you choose - currently, they all run the same set of apps.
Which is the best iPad: How much storage do I need?
It's tempting to opt for the base 16GB version, since it's so much cheaper than the 32GB and 64GB models. If you know that you won't want to store your music and video collections on your iPad, 16GB should be enough. However, you might be surprised how quickly apps eat up the storage space. There are so many free apps, it's sometimes hard to resist installing them.
Games in particular can occupy more than 1GB (Real Racing, for example), so it won't take many before you run out of space.
Using the iPad's rear camera to take videos and photos can also quickly consume multiple gigabytes.
As we said at the start, there are ways to increase your iPad's storage. One is to buy a Wi-Fi hard drive which works with iOS devices. An example is Kingston's Wi-Drive, which is available in various capacities up to 128GB. This battery-powered drive can store your files, including videos, music, photos and documents and make them accessible to your iPad (and two other devices simultaneously) as if they were stored locally.
However, you can't install apps on an external drive.
If you buy an iPad with a Retina display, bear in mind that apps, magazines and other things will take up more room as they need to store higher resolution images and graphics. Storing a year's worth of magazines in the Newsstand app, for example, could fill up a 16GB Retina iPad.
We're not saying you shouldn't buy a 16GB iPad, but make sure it will be sufficient for your needs, since you can't change your mind later. iPads don't have a memory card slot for adding more storage.
Which is the best iPad: Isn't the iPad 2 old hat now?
Some people say they can't tell much of a difference between the iPad 2's 1024 x 768 screen and the iPad 3 and 4's Retina display. We'd beg to differ, but if you're happy to settle for a quarter of the new model's pixels, the iPad 2 is certainly cheaper.
The 16GB Wi-Fi only version costs £329, saving £80 off the cost of the equivalent iPad 4. However, we'd argue that it's well worth spending the extra (if you can afford it) since the iPad 4 is considerably better.
It's four times faster, has vastly better front and rear cameras and (if you're going for the cellular version) has 4G that works in the UK. It also has Siri, which the iPad 2 lacks, even when upgraded to iOS 6.
The iPad 2's other enemy is the iPad mini. Not only is the mini £60 cheaper for the base model, but it's twice as fast and has the same cameras as the iPad 4. Again, it also supports 4G in the UK if you're after mobile data and, again, benefits from Siri.
Our take on it is that the iPad 2 is only a good deal if you're on a tight budget, don't want the smaller 7.9in screen of an iPad mini and can find a good one second-hand at a low price.
Which is the best iPad? What about the iPad 3?
Although it was a great upgrade on the iPad 2 seven months ago, the iPad 3 has been quickly side-lined by the introduction of the iPad 4. If you have a legitimate reason for wanting a 3rd generation iPad (perhaps because you have lots of 30-pin accessories) you might find one on Apple's website in the Special Deals section at decent prices.
Although stock varies all the time, if you act quick you can pick up the 32GB Wi-Fi model for £369, a saving of £110 over the equivalent iPad 4. The 16GB Wi-Fi model is £319, making it cheaper than the equivalent iPad 2 - a great deal.
Refurbished models look like new, have a new battery and come with a one-year warranty, so there really isn't a reason to avoid them. The same can't be said of second-hand models bought from ebay or similar.
Apart from the price, the iPad 3 is still a great performer (there's really no need for the extra performance of the iPad 4 - for now at least). Also, the iPad 3 has the older 30-pin connector which means there's a wide array of cheap accessories. Accessories for the Lightning connector on the iPad 4 (and iPad mini) are becoming more prevalent, but many 30-pin accessories will work with one of Apple's Lightning to 30-pin adaptors. (Note that the 30-pin HDMI adaptor will not work when converted to Lightning. If you need HDMI on an iPad 4 or mini, you'll need to buy the £39 Digital AV Lightning Adaptor.)
The iPad 3 might have a pretty dismal front-facing camera, but the rear one is a gem. It shoots sharp 1080p video and great photos.
A very slight disadvantage is that the 4G version of the 3rd-gen iPad doesn't support the 4G network in the UK, so can only be used at 3G speeds.
Which is the best iPad? Is the iPad mini a bargain or overpriced?
At £269, the mini is the cheapest-ever iPad. It's £130 cheaper than the equivalent iPad 4, which is a lot. However, it's also £70 more expensive than Google's Nexus 7, which has a higher-resolution screen and built-in NFC.
Near-field communication might not be a big deal now, but next year it could become much more prevalent, not just in other devices, but also in shops to allow you to pay for goods. Admittedly, that means NFC is probably more desirable in a smartphone rather than a tablet, but it's something to consider.
There are plenty of other 7in tablets which are cheaper still, such as Amazon's Kindle Fire HD and Archos' 80 Titanium.
However, none can compete with the breadth of apps on offer through the iPad mini's App Store. You can also argue that the iOS 6 interface is the slickest around and beats Android in most areas.
Which is the best iPad? Surely the iPad 4 is the obvious choice?
If you're happy to pay top whack for a tablet, and want a 10in screen, the fourth-generation iPad is definitely the one to go for. It's comfortably faster than any of its rivals - third-generation iPad included - and is naturally the most future-proof.
It has updated cameras, including a 720p-capable front camera, and a slightly-better-than-the-iPad-3's rear camera.
Where the iPad 2 and iPad 3 will be left out of future updates at some point, the iPad 4 will get the most new features in iOS. It's also the model that's going to be able to run the most demanding new apps. Anyone who bought an original iPad will understand the frustration of not being able to get new apps (iMovie was released as an iPad 2-only app).
Plus, the iPad 4 will be compatible with the next generation of accessories using the new Lightning connector.
If you're really flush with cash, you'll benefit from the 4G support of the cellular version.
Naturally, there's always going to be another iPad in the pipeline, and there's no telling whether an iPad 5 will be launched as soon as April 2013, so if you're cautious, it could be worth waiting.

Consumers are demanding food with fewer chemical residues and producers are consistently seeking ways to preserve the effectiveness of their pest control tools. Becker Underwood has developed a biological product lineup that provides growers with foliar and drench applied crop protection solutions to help with residue and resistance management. These tools help control a variety of pests and diseases, often in combination with crop protection products, for both greenhouse and open field growers when used as part ofintegrated management programs.
Becker Underwood's acquisition of BCP South Africa brought additional products to help meet the strong demand of growers to utilize biological tools alongside conventional chemicals in integrated spray regimes. Today, Becker Underwood provides the leading fungal bio-control solution for locusts in Africa, Australia, and Asia.
Becker Underwood is the world's largest producer of beneficial nematodes, which work well in management programs to control insects such as thrips, weevils, and codling moth. We also provide a range of beneficial nematodes that control slugs.
Our biological control formulations pass the rigorous standards of storage stability demanded by the industry. The strains used have been screened for their robustness and high efficacy.
Several of our bio-fungicides and bio-insecticides are registered, or in process of being registered, in multiple countries. A strong R&D pipeline will lead to many more exciting products in this portfolio.

Health workers in Kenya are reporting an increase in sexual violence amidst the chaos following the countrys presidential elections. According to Nairobis Womens Hospital, the daily average of rape cases had doubled, reports IRIN.
"These sexual attacks may be crimes of opportunism, where people take advantage of the breakdown of normal protection mechanisms to rape, or in cases where the war pits one group against the another, such as ethnic violence, the rapes may be targeted at one particular group of women and girls," Jeanne Ward, an international consultant on gender-based violence told IRIN. Ward noted that though investigations had begun, it was still too early to tell if the rapes in Kenya were targeted.
Violence has devastated various parts of the countrys capital after the controversial results of the presidential elections were declared. Cases of sexual violence have also been reported against men, IRIN reports.

12 U.S. Code § 181 - Voluntary dissolution; appointment and removal of liquidating agent or committee; examination
prev | next
Any association may go into liquidation and be closed by the vote of its shareholders owning two-thirds of its stock. If the liquidation is to be effected in whole or in part through the sale of any of its assets to and the assumption of its deposit liabilities by another bank, the purchase and sale agreement must also be approved by its shareholders owning two-thirds of its stock unless an emergency exists and the Comptroller of the Currency specifically waives such requirement for shareholder approval.
The shareholders shall designate one or more persons to act as liquidating agent or committee, who shall conduct the liquidation in accordance with law and under the supervision of the board of directors, who shall require a suitable bond to be given by said agent or committee. The liquidating agent or committee shall render annual reports to the Comptroller of the Currency on the 31st day of December of each year showing the progress of said liquidation until the same is completed.

Review of 2011- looking back…
The year began with being surrounded by great conflicts with people, governments, organizations, businesses, traditional people, progressive people and more. Standing up for the rights of land to not be taken, right to beliefs, rights to freedoms to choose, protecting ancient wisdom, ancient Ceremonies, Sacred Lands, customs, protecting LIFE itself.
This year I was on the land of the Hopi people in Northern Arizona where I had been for four months prior as 2010 ended. Moving into 2011 Hopi became a heated environment with people from all sides as a proposed new constitution was about to be voted upon. Govenment within Hopi doing acts that were against the rights of the people with no regard to law. These actions could have taken the rights of an Ancient People to be stripped of their rights to live as they have chosen to in the footsteps of their ancestors for close to a thousand years in this same location. Talk of money not being handled in the correct way, partnerships with big firms coming in to support what appeared to be take over of the political structures for personal gains.
This is where I found myself at the start of 2011, in the heart of the storm looking out at the world and I knew the same storm would begin to manifest everywhere on the planet. They say, what happens in Hopi happens in the world. Looking from this perspective we can see and somehow almost see into our future as we watch events unfold there.
Being in Hopi for 5 months in total was a great challenge to me in many ways. Living in a home with no bathroom, no running water, coal for heat, and trying give support to the Traditional people in any way I could. Many of the people began to join together and actually work together to stop the insanity that seemed to have taken over the government there as well as some of the people.
For my roll I worked to help get the messages out to as many people as possible and many of YOU sent your letters of support to Hopi as well as to the Secretary of Interior. Also, I helped along with other volunteers to create a website for them so they could get the information to their people. Media, celebrities, even political people in high places were getting involved through the efforts made by many of YOU and through the work of this website. We should all be proud that in this world of chaos and disrespect we supported and PROTECTED the Ancient rights and Traditions of the Hopi people.
It became so heated that I asked the Hopi that I was working with if my life was in danger as some Hopi had implied that maybe it was. Not only did the Hopi Chairman want me gone but the people who supported the proposed constitution were extremely upset with my presence as well. As we all know, its easy to do bad deeds when no one is looking and I focused on having as many people as possible see what was really happening with all the different groups involved.
This is what your physical and financial support and protected and from my heart, thank you! From the Hopi I know how much they were grateful to each and every one of you. As each email came in from around the world the Hopi became stronger, knowing the outside world was supporting them.
It was Ceremony time in Hopi and I was deeply honored to be living on the land. As always with every Ceremony they are doing I put my prayers with theirs to support the web of life and give energy to the Hopi for them to hold the balance of the universe. I was guided to go into a meditation and so I listened to that guidance. I went quickly into a very deep meditation. There I saw my guides the Tall Blonds. Know that it is not normal for them to come to me in meditation, when they come, its powerful.
While in the meditation I was shown water coming to land, houses, people, animals, wood, trees, cars, all bunched up in a very dark dirty water. I saw a tsunami… and felt and saw the deaths of many people in that moment. The moment I came out of the meditation tears moved into my eyes and I sobbed for a few minutes before containing myself. My eyes now red and puffy from tears a Hopi came by the home I was staying it. He could clearly see I was upset so I told him what I saw. When he asked…. when will this happen. I told him that it will be 2-3 months at the most. I was not sure where this would happen though. In fact, I thought it would be around Florida in the United States. Nothing to do, tell people and tell them what??? I had no location so all I could do is ask people to send calm into the earth.
Also during my 5 months in Hopi there were several times when people had stepped forward to put the Hopi in touch with the Dalai Lama directly. The Hopi being as humble as they are did not want to go to His Holiness for any support of this difficult situation they were in. It was my very personal view that Creator was trying to put the Hopi and Dalai Lama together. After FIVE threads of people coming to us to put them in direct contact they still said no…… its ok.
Just before I left I said to my Hopi friends that if the Hopi wont go to the Dalai Lama then the Dalai Lama will come to the Hopi. In the next few months dont be surprised if you receive an invitation from His Holiness himself as it is not the people but Creator who is acting to allow for you to meet.
I finally went home the last week in January and to be honest I was a broken person. In the center of such great conflict took its toll on me and it was devastating. One person in the area supported me with the use of her car, her home when I travelled to Sedona and food when she came to Hopi. Also the one other person that needs to be thanked always is my dear friend who chooses to remain anonymous sends me enough support each month to allow me to pay at least some…. of my bills. Without them both my work there would not have been possible. I was proud of the work WE ALL did but it took a toll on me emotionally, physically and spiritually. My first two phone calls at home were from bill collectors and what kept me going was the support from all of YOU through your emails of joy over the results that came when in the end, they did NOT pass the proposed constitution and the Traditions of the Hopi people were, for the time being, protected.
I came home and began to think about The Great Gathering and how I needed to get my focus back to this work. Wondering what people did I need to see next? Was there guidance from Creator and if so what would that be. The Dogon entered my conversations with people and it was then I began to send out messages to the Elders in Meritah, (Africa) of the Dogon tribe. I went to them in meditation and asked for them to find me, to come to me… to support the work of The Great Gathering. I travelled in the Meditations in a very specific way and then stood in front of them where we spoke to each other. I explained the situation that we needed to come together and told them I was in North America through my process of making spiritual contact.
For the next few months I focused all my energies on working on The Great Gathering with a small team of dedicated people who all believe in a world that has purpose, balance and peace.
My birthday is in March and for me, I do not celebrate holidays and birthdays like many people. I do not normally give or want to receive gifts for these occasions. The energies were strange around that time and on my Facebook wall for days I was asking everyone to talk with the earth for my birthday. Asking them to send love, balance into the earth. For two full days I was on my FB constantly asking for prayers and meditations to send calm and balance into the earth. My birthday is March 10th and in Japan it was already the next day when the Tsunami hit on March 11th their time. My thoughts immediately went to the vision I was shown by the Tall Blonds. For the next several days I did what I could to connect with other people in the public and we coordinated as to what we would ask people to focus on for the earth, the people and the radiation. Gathering with many others to put out information that would keep people calm and focused. We all know how our thoughts and energies effect the world around us and as a collective we could help the situation and we did that from around the world.
Within days the Dalai Lama released a public statement to the people in Japan. It was only a few days later that the Hopi also released call to Prayer for the people in Japan and the world. It was then I contacted a good friend of mine from Youtube and asked him to help share this beautiful message with the world. Very quickly the Hopi message was made into three youtubes in Japanese, English and Spanish. The youtubes are simply beautiful.
People began to question the message and were calling the Hopi directly to confirm that it was real. At first they were calling the government run tribe and they were telling people it was a fake. Then the Traditional Hopi contacted the tribe and told them it was real. After that, when you called the Hopi government tribe they confirmed it was in fact a real message. Thank You FelipeSparx29 on youtube for making these for the people of Japan and the world.
Below are the links to the videos:
Months later an email came to me from the Hopi. In it was the most amazing opportunity for the Hopi to participate in a gathering where the Mamos from Colombia would be attending. As well there was mention that there was a possibility that they could have a meeting with the Dalai Lama himself. Once again, Creator was speaking. Hopi knew that I had some prior contacts with the Mamos so they contacted me.
Over the next several days we worked to find details of the meeting to determine who was going. Not always an easy task. What we did know is that the Mamos of Colombia would be attending. Our question was; are they traditional or political?
After several emails and calls to Colombia we finally determined that although it started out with political Mamos from what I understood that changed and Traditional Mamos made the final decision to travel to this gathering in the New York area.
For the next 10 days I barely slept, trying to find funds for four of us to travel to New York for the meeting. It was very difficult because as with many things in my work, they are not public but the work goes on.
With only a few hours of sleep, 16 hour days for 10 days, at least 20-30 calls a day, the funding finally came in. One miracle at a time! Meanwhile I was being asked; Do we have the money to go? Yes I would say, YES! FAITH is always needed at a time like this and that is always what keeps me going. Every single month.
Just before we left to go to the gathering in New York, I sat again in mediation and spoke to the Elders in Meritah (Africa) to speak with them and tell them that I was in North America, that if they heard of this gathering to come, I would be there. Once again I had complete faith in Creator and the Elders that they would hear me.
Just a few days before myself and the three Hopi got on the plane to go to New York I was told that the some representatives of the Dogon would be attending the meeting. They did not want their presence to be known or announced. When I heard this, I said nothing to the man that told me, what I did do is sit again and contact the Elders of the Dogon in my meditation and told them we would be meeting at this event.
(there is more to this part of the story with the Dogon that will be released at a later time)
Finally the day arrived, I went from Canada to NY early and stayed with a dear friend. She took me out one night and we met with other friends of hers at a great cozy hang out they always go to. It was the MOST FUN I had in over a year! Just pure laughter, talking about things that were not so serious that peoples lives depended on it. Wow, that was amazing! To my friend in NY.. thanks for the break!
Two days later one of the Hopi arrived and another friend in New Jersey was kind enough to open her home up to us. The funding was tight and there were no funds for a hotel. A few hours later the second Hopi arrived and after picking him up at the airport a volunteer from the retreat center where the gathering was taking place picked up the three of us and off we went, heading north.
The next few days were filled with meetings with all the Elders. From my perspective it was clear that this meeting was made by CREATOR and we all soon found out just how much many of our personal stories of how it came to be were so detailed, profound and went back years and years. All those threads led each of us and the Elders to this one moment in time.
The meetings with the Elders was interesting as they each talked about who they were, who their people were, the struggles they have and some spoke of how we need to restore the balance. The Hopi themselves were very quiet in this time and spoke very little but when they did it was enough to make clear what they wanted to share. The whole time we were at this gathering I kept looking out at everyone and was so humbled and honoured to be a part of this amazing meeting. This was a public meeting but we as non Indigenous were were not given any space to speak or share in any way.
On the third day, the Dogon arrived. It was simply remarkable! It was like the earth itself moved for me. We were outside at the time and I took my shoes and socks off. I wanted to communicate with them directly like this. I knew they would be able to do this, after all they were real…. there were standing in front of me…in front of all of us.
(again more on this will come at a later time)
Me and my friend went onto the grass, I asked her to be with me as I kneeled on the grass to the Dogon. I knew they heard the message, I knew we had already connected, I knew how powerful they were already before our fist physical word was even said.
The next few hours were extremely intense for me on a deeply personal level. After all, here I was at this meeting with the Hopi, the Mamos and now the Dogon as well as many others that attended.
One of the Dogon that was standing in the receiving line they were in, leaned backwards towards me and my friend, he smiled and bowed his head to me, making direct eye contact. When I finally did go up and greet them it was like saying hello to family that I had not seen in thousands of years. It was….. profound….
Over the next few hours the Dogon and I spoke a few times briefly. They gave me contact phone numbers for them and said we will be talking, THAT I already knew, in fact, I knew that THEY knew…. somehow. After only a few short hours they had to leave and there I was.. saying good bye to these remarkable people. My emotions were high as I said goodbye and within I felt deeply humbled and blessed to have met them.
Over the next five days some of the Elders were still meeting and talking with each other. No…. nothing that was so secret that it cant be shared but it was powerful as they talked about the balance of the world. Over those days, I could HEAR the Dogon speak to me through telepathy. It was like they were standing right beside me. On the fifth night, I heard one of them come to me to say they would see me soon. That very moment I looked at a Hopi and said, "I just received a message." Before I could tell him what that was, someone walked into the room and announced that the Dogon were returning. Humbled to my soul the message kept me going spiritually.
Not everything at this event went smoothly for me. People were actually cruel to me. One in particular would stand in the center of a room of people talking about me and telling lies to them as I stood there. Because they were an "Elder" there was nothing I could do. It was a sad situation. To experience this was painful but at the same time, I was there to follow CREATOR and the people who were acting in this way would not stop Creators work.
The following day the Mamos were to meet with the Dalai Lama. The days prior MANY people worked extremely hard to help get the Hopi in that meeting as well. Both the Hopi had gone through the screening to go in to meet his Holiness in case they could go in. Then 10 hours before they were to meet with him a message came not from the office of His Holiness but from someone else telling me that the Hopi could not get in. They told me I had to tell the Hopi. I refused to do this. I asked them to consider what they were asking to be done and to to consider brining in one Hopi and not two if the reason was really due to space in the room.
The Next morning, one of the Hopi did in fact go in to meet the Dalai Lama along with the Mamos.
It was a great day! Without my friends who I called to ask for funding from, from YOU, and from my own funds there was no way this would have happened. Spiritually, it was a proud moment and when this took place…. it was all of YOU that I send gratitude out to for always supporting the work. Supporting the process of creating balance, sharing knowledge and working for humanity and the earth. Truly we are all connected.
Two days later and the last day we were all together the Dogon returned. Once again it was a profound and beautiful moment. When they arrived I could again feel the strength of their presence. I spoke with them and said hello again as though my family had returned once again. It was this night the Dogon and I spoke and I learned that the Elders in Merita (Africa) foresaw me. WE will have to ask the Dogon to say what they foresaw.
Just like the first time I met the Hopi back in 2003, meeting the Dogon I KNEW my life was about to change. Creator had been leading and from my heart with gratitude to Creator, to myself, to all of you, I was able to follow.
All the things that are being shared with you here are already in the public and for this reason with humility and honour, I share them here.
Where is all this going? What is all this really about? Well, the visions that were shared with me by the Tall Blonds and the visions and dreams that come to me even today are what lead my every move. This is in my view is The Great Gathering beginning and the steps to restore balance to this earth. One step at a time.
After the gathering in New York I was guided to get a ticket to Colombia. Although I had no idea why. In fact I did not have the money to go but at the very last moment someone send me a donation that JUST covered the trip. When I got there it was not long before I found myself once again in The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the land of the Mamos in the Colombian mountains. Again, small foundations being laid for the future. All I needed to do was follow….
Finally I got home to Canada, two months after I left. Wow was I tired and I had work to catch up on with The Great Gathering.

My name is modelname
Ordering for a Team?
Let our Team Division Help!
Item has a Minimum Qty
I ordered this suit and a comparable TYR but this suit was just not cut right. I'm a curvy gal so I'm at the top of the sizing chart for this suit. The leg holes were cut just a little too high allowing for hind end ride up and the arm holes are cut too low and the girls were getting a bit too much of a show! It also felt a little short in the height measurement.
Great suit for my daughter who is a swim instructor and life guard
Had to get a bigger lap suit because I am pregnant and this one is working great!
My daughter is a year-round swimmer and loves this suit for meets. It fits nice and tightly. She is 5"4" and 113 lbs, and the 28 is a nice, snug fit for racing.
Good suit, fits well.
I got this to swim laps in. It fits great and the length is nice but not so awesome for someone with 36 DDD boobs. I can see some side boob and nips. Oh well, it'll work for working out.
Not sure what kind of woman this suit is made for, but it is awful. I've worn this style in this size for years with no issues. This suit is too tight in the bottom and too loose in the top. In addition, it is abnormally short in the torso. This means that it is incredibly uncomfortable and feels like it leaves the sides of my chest exposed. I am guessing it is made in China and they did not make it to fit Americans, who tend to be taller. I'm 5"8", so not exceptionally tall and not under- or overweight. Tried the same style/size in a TYR the other day and it was perfect. It fit the way my Speedos used to fit. My daughter swims competitively and is a thin-built 5"10". Her Speedo team suit (Splice thin strap) is a 32. She wears a 34 bra, but bought 32 because the 34 top was too big. Again, the top for the 32 appears to have been built for Dolly Parton. It sagged so low, she could never use it. Another waste of $70. The torsos of the Speedos are so short lately that the suits ride up the girls' butts. The girls on her team now refer to it as the Speedo wedgie. I think it is pretty low class to have your butt cheeks hanging out-esp when bending over on the starting blocks and on a co-ed team. So no more Speedos for us.
I'm 5" 8" and 200 lbs. Chest is 40DDD. I got a 44 as that is the largest available in a competition trainer suit. The top is a bit small for me, not completely covering the sides of my breasts, while the rest fits well. It's not so small as to be indecent, but I'd rather have a bit more.I had the same suit before and the material lasted well. I did take care to rinse out or wash out after each swim. It finally did start to become a bit bare at the sections my body stretched it out, rear and chest, but I feel it lasted quite well considering the stress I put it under trying to fit in it.*I was a competitive swimmer from age 7 to my second year of college (135lbs back then). I currently only swim 500 to 1500 yards per practice, trying to get back again. ;)
I ordered the same size as my last 2 swim suit purchases and this one was way shorter than the other 2. There is no way I will be able to wear it.
I am a swimming instructor so I know I don't really need a competition suit but I like that it's tight cause the little kids tend to get a little... Handsy at times. But with this suit I'm never disappointed. Also great for just lap swimming!

Really Cute!
It's REALLY cute and I think it's perfect to eat ice cream/fruit with. It's made really well and I think it's designed really well. However, it's a bit smaller than I thought. It's really thin and the spoon part is not big enough to put a lot of food. But overall it's really cute but beware it's a bit small and can really be useful in ice cream and chopped fruit.

Aside from the storyline, the missions are the same style, aside from den defense missions, bomb crafting, and the hook blade, everything else is pretty much the same. It was sad to see Altair and Ezio's story come to an end, because you really got used to them. It was nice to see more personali...more

Table Decorations from the Great Outdoors
Whether your outdoor space entails a yard, the public park, or a walk in the woods, it can be a great source of seasonal (and free!) decorations for the Thanksgiving table. Here are a few tables that put outdoor finds to use beautifully:
- Branches are oversized, adding a lot of drama
- Berries bring natural little ornaments indoors
- Pine cones and acorns (see more pine cone ideas at Apartment Therapy San Francisco's 5 Happy Pine Cone Projects)
- Leaves, like berries, bring some of that beautiful seasonal color to the table.
What elements have you (or do you want to) bring in from the outdoors to your Thanksgiving tabletop?

These are beautiful! For a recent dinner, I had forgotten to pick up flowers. I have a covered dish shaped like a pumpkin. My daughter and I went outside and clipped some branches from our holly bush and she arranged them in the pumpkin dish. It was lovely!
I love the maple branches so pretty and tall enough that you could see the people sitting across from you under it...This year I am doing paperwhite bulbs as my christmas center piece..heres how to do it
Love those chairs, the big tree in a vase, no so much.
Yikes, that looks like a year's worth of growth at least from a sugar maple. Not sure if anyone would be willing to take a set of pruners just for a tablepiece, however pretty it is.

Fourie to coach Griquas
Free State Cheetahs assistant coach Hawies Fourie has been appointed as Griquas' new head coach for the 2014 season.
Fourie put pen to paper on a three-year deal with the Kimberley-based union and will replace Pote Human, who moves to a position as head of coaching at Pretoria University next year.
The 45-year-old will remain with the Cheetahs until the conclusion of the Currie Cup tournament, joining up with the Griquas on November 1.
Despite the switch, Fourie will continue as Cheetahs assistant coach for the Super Rugby competition, and has thus appointed Peter Engledow as development coach from the Rugby Football Union (RFU).
As such, with Fourie's absence thanks to Super Rugby duties, South African-born Engledow will assume the role of Griquas head coach for the Vodacom Cup next season.
"It is a great honour for me to be appointed as Griquas' coach," said Fourie.
"I have always wanted to again be head coach at a union and now I get the chance after six years of rugby with the Cheetahs.
"I will still be actively involved in the Cheetahs Super Rugby campaign and will therefore trust in Peter Engledow and Pieter Bergh to take the reins in my absence.
"During the Vodacom Cup, I will, however, pop in every now and again to see how things progress."
Fourie's awareness and understanding of Super Rugby comes as a big plus for the Griquas, as he will be well-placed to judge which of the side's players are good enough to make the step up.
This could see more of Griquas' players featuring in Super Rugby next season.
"Our main goal is to make the Cheetahs Super Rugby side an even stronger unit," added Fourie.
"We've had quality players like Willie le Roux, Lourens Adriaanse, Rynhard Landman and Ryno Barnes that have played Super Rugby for the Cheetahs this year.
"We look to get even more players from Griquas involved because it is good to have depth in certain positions."
Griquas CEO Arnie van Rooyen is pleased with Fourie's appointment, and is thrilled that the vacancy left by Human's departure was filled so swiftly.
We are very happy that Hawies Fourie has decided to accept an offer to coach Griquas," Van Rooyen said.
"This is another positive step, not only for us, but also for the Cheetahs Super Rugby team.
"We as unions must work together to ensure that we put out the best side. That being said, we are glad that we could obtain a coach of Hawies' calibre, specially focusing on next year's Currie Cup."

This morning brings the news that 2010 will see an "Exorcist" Blu-ray, with both existing cuts of the film.
Check out this "age restricted" clip from "Sorority Row". It's not restricted for the reason(s) I would have liked, but it's a slow news day so we'll take what we can get.
Hey guess what, there's literally a white horse in "Halloween 2". And why shouldn't there be. Ya, no, this is going to be great.
"Train", the film that was originally a remake of "Terror Train" but then turned out not to be, will be going direct to DVD on November 17th. The film stars Thora Birch, so at least it's got that going for it.
When the department bought their officers shiny new stunguns, I'm sure they weren't picturing they'd start out with them by lighting a hobo on fire. But hey, at least it's a good story.
The lesson is clear here, if you "snitch" on someone, this bizarrely calm woman will dismember you and make you watch. So, that's pretty good motivation not to be a snitch.
You can sort of chalk the first time this kid set his friend on fire up to a youthful mistake, but it's a little harder to say that about the second time.
1835: The New York Sun publishes stunning revelations that Sir John Hershel has observed little men living on the surface of the moon. The stories, now generally believed to be false, brings the paper record circulation.
Universal teams up with toymaker Mattel for a "live-action Monster Musical". Um... okay?
I'm actually pretty proud that it took me nearly two days to realize that "Twilight" won best movie at the MTV Movie Awards this weekend. If you also didn't know, consider yourselves lucky.
Gore Verbinski says he's pretty much off of "Bioshock", mainly because he doesn't think his schedule will allow him to shoot outside of the US for a year and a half, which will pretty much be a requirement due to the film's logistics and budget.
International trailer for "Train", the remake of "Terror Train" that it turns out isn't a remake but still has "Train" in the name. Got all that? I'm glad, because it was probably the most pointless sentence I've ever written.
Lionsgate is moving forward with a 3D remake of the 80's film "Happy Birthday To Me". The original is a fairly classic 80's slasher with a mess of an ending, that most people seem to love. I was a little peeved. Either way, it will probably make for pretty simple fair to remake.
High School teen in trouble for eating pig testicles on a dare. I know that animal testicles are eaten in certain parts of the country, but not like this. The kid ate the nuts off of a fetal pig, that had been soaking in FORMALDEHYDE. So, now you see how that may pose a problem.

The Patent Office Intellectual Property Awareness Campaign visits Macclesfield
A wealth of intellectual property advice and practical help will be on offer to small and medium sized enterprises at an event to be held in Macclesfield on 5 February 2007.
Free information on a wide range of intellectual property matters - from patents, trade marks, new designs legislation, commercial and mediation services - will be available at the Patent Office Intellectual Property Awareness Day at the Sir James Black Conference Centre, AstraZeneca, Alderley Park, Macclesfield, Cheshire, SK10 4TG.
Organised by The Patent Office and supported by Business Link the event brings together representatives from the professional bodies The Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys (ITMA) and The Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys (CIPA) under one roof.
The event is a unique opportunity to obtain quality advice in a relaxed and informal setting. A presentation by the Patent Office will focus on the intellectual property system and the benefits of protecting your business's intellectual assets. A local entrepreneur will share their experience of working with the Patent Office and highlight the benefits of protecting intellectual property rights. ITMA and CIPA will also deliver a short presentation about their role in the intellectual property field.
Speaking about the latest Patent Office initiative Barry Treves, President of the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys (CIPA) said; "For many years The Patent Office has worked very hard to enhance the awareness and understanding of the intellectual property system throughout the UK. This worthwhile activity benefits not only individual users of the system but also the economy as a whole which is why the Institute is delighted to lend its support to this campaign".
Philip Harris, President of the Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys (ITMA), said: "ITMA is totally supportive of moves to increase awareness of Intellectual Property (IP) in the UK and I am pleased that so many of our members are supporting the regional events by offering free consultations. I wish the venture every success."
Miles Rees, Business Development Manager, The Patent Office said;
"The Patent Office is keen to offer improved services for its customers. By bringing experts in the intellectual property arena together at the Intellectual Property Awareness Days we are providing a one-stop shop for local people. There will be help on hand for every type of business. Intellectual property is important and relevant to any business whether it is a multinational or a sole trader".
"We have a strong commitment to provide businesses with help, support and advice, and we recognise the need to deliver the best quality service to all our customer's so that can protect their intellectual property assets."
The Patent Office Intellectual Property Awareness Day takes place on the morning of 5 February 2007 at the Sir James Black Conference Centre, AstraZeneca, Alderley Park, Macclesfield, Cheshire, SK10 4TG Entry to the event is free and places are limited and can quickly become oversubscribed. To avoid missing out, bookings should be made in advance by contacting by email firstname.lastname@example.com or for further information please contact the Events Team on +44(0)1633 814708.
Editors' notes:
- The average small business relies heavily on the intellectual capital – and it is not just innovative new products or clever inventions. It is tied up in the reputation of the company and its services which can all be protected by various legal systems. Those same systems can be used by other companies defend their intellectual assets. There is a whole minefield of opportunities and threats that many small businesses ignore at their peril.
- At the outset, most companies are aware of the choice of their company name and, if they have created a new product, then will be aware of the need to protect it with a patent. Many, however, are unaware of the ability to protect their work, or the power of trademarks or the danger of infringing other peoples' intellectual assets.
- The four main types of IP are:
Copyright - Copyright protects material, such as literature, art, music, sound recordings, films and broadcasts.
Designs - Designs protect the visual appearance or eye appeal of products.
Patents - Patents protect the technical and functional aspects of products and processes.
Trade Marks - Trade Marks protect signs that can distinguish the goods and services of one trader from those of another.
However, IP also covers trade secrets, plant varieties, geographical indications, performer's rights and so on.
- Often, more than one type of IP may apply to the same creation.
Date of release: 12 January 2007
