The Aetherius Society is a millenarian, New Age, UFO religion.[2][3][4][5] It was founded by George King in the mid-1950s [6][7][8] as the result of what King claimed were contacts with extraterrestrial intelligences, whom he referred to as "Cosmic Masters".[9][10][11] Regarded as firmly based in Theosophy,[1][9][12] the Aetherius Society combines UFO claims, yoga, and ideas from various world religions,[7][8] notably Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity.[13][14] Stefan Isaksson notes that it has "become a complex religious belief system that includes an extraterrestrial hierarchy of various spiritual masters and such concepts as universal karma and religious healing."[15][16][17] The religion's goal is to prevent worldly destruction by improving cooperation between humanity and various alien 'masters',[7][18][19] and by using 'spiritual energy' to improve the spiritual calibre of the world.[5][18][20] The society has claimed that various disasters may be prevented or relieved by prayer, often aided by "Spiritual Energy Batteries" meant to store healing psychic energy[5][21][22] The society also believes that it is to make the way for the "Next Master," a messianic figure who will descend upon Earth in a flying saucer, possessing 'magic' more powerful than all the world's armies.[23][24][25] The society is named after Aetherius, a being King claims to have telepathically contacted and channeled. Aetherius is believed to be a Cosmic Master from Venus, as are Buddha and Jesus.[23][26][27] The society's membership, although international in composition, is not very large. David V. Barrett suggested in 2011 that the worldwide membership was now into the thousands, with the largest number of members being in the UK, USA, NZ and Africa.[1][28]
George King was born on 23 January 1919, in Wellington (Shropshire, England) and brought up in a Christian family with strong occult interests.[15][29] Before founding the Aetherius Society, King had been deeply involved in spiritual healing[9][30] and had joined various theosophically-based metaphysical groups in London that were a marginal part of the religious scene.[15][31] In 1944 he took up yoga, allegedly mastering bhakti, gnani (see jnana) and kundalini yogas and attaining the state of "Samadhi"[11][30] and, according to the Aetherius Society, developed psychic powers that allowed him to learn many of the secrets of the universe.[11]
King claimed that in 1954, a voice told him "Prepare yourself! You are to become the voice of Interplanetary Parliament." A week later, an unnamed but supposedly world famous swami was reported to have entered King's locked apartment. King claims that the swami instructed him to form a group dedicated to helping the planet, and that the swami further taught him in yoga, prayer, and meditation. According to King, this training enabled him to receive telepathic messages from Venus, the first coming from Aetherius. King rented space in Caxton Hall in London, in which he allegedly channeled Cosmic Masters and recorded their messages. Based on his experiences and these messages, King founded the Aetherius Society.[11][32][33]
This version of events, however, is based solely on the Aetherius Society's hagiography, and not on external sources. Mikael Rothstein notes that a lack of objective, factual information is often a problem in studying religious leaders, even for new religious movements. The story of King, according to Rothstein, is part of an attempt (common to all religions) to portray their founder as an extraordinary individual to legitimize the religion.[34]
Beliefs and activities[edit]
In Aetherius Society teachings, various religious figures come from different planets,[23] and throughout history Cosmic Masters such as Krishna, Buddha, Jesus and Lao Tzu have come to Earth to teach mankind the right way of living.[35][36][37] They are regarded by the society as Avatars.[38][39][40] Krishna, for example, is from Saturn, which is the home of a "Cosmic Hierarchy" or "Interplanetary Council", while Jesus and Buddha are from Venus.[23][41][42] The society therefore claims that these religions sprang from the same source and their principles were identical.[24][37][43] These beings are, however, spiritual beings on another dimension or plane, as the idea of corporeal intelligent life on the other planets was known to be unlikely in the 1950s.[44] The society's concept is that these beings exist on a 'spiritual level' by maintaining a 'higher vibratory rate' which can be lowered, and this explains the reported blinking in and out of UFOs.[37][44][45] The society also refers to the vimanas found in Vedic and Hindu texts, and to the Star of Bethlehem, as examples of visiting UFOs.[24][45][46]
King taught a belief in reincarnation based on the "Law of Karma" according to which we progress life by life towards the goal of perfection. Everyone is destined eventually to become a Master and to continue evolving from there.[14][43][44] The society claims that evolution also includes planet Earth, which is regarded as a living entity at a much higher state of evolution and importance than its inhabitants.[13][43][47] They allege that because of the backward evolution of humans, the Earth has been under frequent attacks from evil forces from other parts of the universe, and that the Cosmic Masters of other planets are fighting off a number of evil alien invaders.[48][49][50] In Aetherius Society literature, the cosmic battles with evil forces or intelligences "bear some resemblance to the fundamentalist Christian concept of 'spiritual warfare', shorn of its imminent apocalyptic content."[51]
As in other New Age religions, alternative medicine, spiritual healing, yoga, and dowsing are also accepted and practised by the Aetherius Society.[52] It has also launched initiatives against pollution and nuclear power, and generally identifies with the ideals of the Green Movement. However, the society believes that environmental and societal problems are only symptoms of a much larger spiritual problem that, once solved, would cure all other problems. This is the 'spiritual energy crisis'.[53] King designed many items of equipment intended to contain and redirect 'spiritual energy' for such purposes.[21][54][55]
Probably the best known of these is the "Spiritual Energy Battery". Its precise design and composition are not in the public domain. Its purpose is to hold a 'charge of spiritual energy for an indefinite period'. When connected to a "Spiritual Energy Radiator" (again designed by King), it can be 'discharged'.[21][22][56] 'Spiritual workers' pray and chant mantra, and 'focus the energy' into the battery where it is 'stored'. The society's belief is that in times of crisis the energy can be released in a concentrated form and manipulated by cooperating Masters to the area in need. King named this activity "Operation Prayer Power".[21][22][54] The Aetherius Society claims that under the guidance of the Cosmic Masters and with the aid of Spiritual Energy Batteries, they have prevented wars, and relieved the effects of natural disasters. King taught that these spiritual exercises help to prevent worldly destruction.[21][22][57]
To help with this, the Aetherius Society regularly engages in "Spiritual Pushes" in which they pray and meditate to draw Prana to Earth from an orbiting spaceship known as "Satellite Number Three" which increases the amount of spiritual energy available. They claim that this satellite is shielded from telescopes and radar.[18][22][58] In "Operation Starlight", between the years 1958 and 1961, King and various members climbed eighteen mountains throughout the world, so that the mountains could be 'spiritually charged' by the Cosmic Masters using King as the link.[22][59][60] Members often make pilgrimages to these mountains where they have painted the movement's symbol, believing they receive more power that they can send out to the world through prayer.[22][61][62] They believe that service to mankind is the most essential yoga or religion in these days.[22][43]
King is now regarded by the Aetherius Society as an Avatar and Cosmic Master, though he did not make any claim to being either in his lifetime.[6][39] The Aetherius Society also believes that King was the only person in the society to receive mental transmissions.[63][64]
King claimed to have been contacted by many aliens, including Venusians, Martians, Devas, and the Great White Brotherhood to spread a message to aid humanity. This message exalted the promising future humanity has should Earthlings turn to better ways of living, while warning of the possible consequences otherwise.[65] King taught that humans had the choice of self-destruction or the enjoyment of a New Age that was coming to Earth. And that the Cosmic Masters had intervened via the Aetherius Society to help humanity into the New Age.[2][18][25]
As Zeller notes in "End of Days", King believed there would not be a catastrophic end to the world, but that the planet is on the verge of a new millennium of peace and enlightenment and the Age of Aquarius. This will also require human effort.[24][65][66] The Aetherius Society's teachings share the individualism of not only other New Age teachings of the era, but of the Protestantism King grew up in, i.e. individual humans face the decision of whether to join the millennial kingdom.[25][65][66]
The society also predicts the coming of 'the next Master' from space at an indefinite time, which is said to depend on the advancement of humans and the balance of karma.[2][40][67] It is claimed he will arrive in a spacecraft with great power, and present his credentials to the leaders of Earth.[24][25] Those who engage in war or ignore the 'Divine Law', will be removed from the Earth and reborn upon another planet where they will continue their progress. Those who understand the law will be left on Earth to enjoy the new millennium.[24][68][69][70]
Zeller also compares King's call to correct living (with threats of suffering otherwise) to many forms of Christian apocalypticism, with King's claimed mental transmissions replacing the Bible as the standard for what that moral living is.[65] The Aetherius Society's eschatology is millenarian and, like Christian apocalypticism and Manichaeism, features a strong moral dualism in that the society seeks to follow the positive forces of the white magicians, rejecting the opposing evil forces.[71]
The Silence Group[edit]
The Society claims that the 'Space Beings' have contacted the leading Governments of the world in many ways but a rather sinister group of individuals called 'The Silence Group' (a pseudonym coined by UFO researcher Major Donald E. Keyhoe[72]) have been deliberately suppressing this information so as to keep people uninformed, or misinformed, as to their true nature.[73] According to King, the Silence Group uses fear and ignorance to control humanity. There are benevolent extraterrestrial race called 'The Pleiadian' who is uncovering humanity and trying to help humanity by spirituality , Some benevolent Extraterrestrial such as Ashtar Sheran, Aaron Johnson James, Merku Alcorn, Hatonn etc.. Are giving humanity hope and love. They are teaching humans by using internet and social websites to help humanity. These beings don't often come in front of humans because they don't want to be worshipped as Gods on earth. They are teaching humans to live in Harmony. Commander Aaron from the Pleaides, claim to be in a musical boyband to get humans attention, After getting attention of the world he will reveal his true name 'Aaron James' not 'Devin' and true identity to humanity about how humans were never alone and he's one of the angels in Bible and Quran. Aaron or should we say 'Alaje' told the Aetherius Society about upcoming events such as how wars and evil weapons will destroy human Earth. [74]
The Aetherius Society's theology is theosophical[1][12][37] and is also based on the continual evolution of all beings back to the source which is God.[13][43] The society also refers to God as being "All in All, and All in All That," and the highest aspect of God as "The Absolute." The society believes that other beings exist that are so evolved compared to humanity that they are sometimes referred to as 'Gods' to distinguish them[9][75][76] "There is nothing but God in the cosmos, in varying stages of evolution. Everyone will eventually become a Master and will continue evolving from there."[14][44] The society regards itself as a spiritual path rather than a religious movement per se.[10][77] Its path contains various stages of spiritual evolution from earthly to cosmic.[35][78] Karma and reincarnation are accepted by the religion as laws of nature.[43][79][80] The society claims it is "not out to change existing religions so much as to add a cosmic dimension to them".[24][78] Its religious services use both Christian prayers and Eastern mantras.[44][81]
Questions of Credibility[edit]
Many of King's claims, particularly claims to various titles and honors, have been shown to be questionable at best.[82][83]
Simon Smith states that the Aetherius Society has to bridge a number of credibility gaps exacerbated by scientific and technological advances, and mentions some seemingly insurmountable problems facing its world view, such as the non-existence of life on the other Planets of the Solar System, and scarce evidence of spacecraft visiting Earth. The society uses the concepts of 'higher spheres of existence' to explain life on the other planets, and the 'lowly karmic position' of mankind to explain why extraterrestrials don't land openly.[83] Hence the movement, while failing to keep pace with science and technology, has tried to explain consequent incompatibilities. However, explanation has become increasingly unnecessary for adherents due to their growing acceptance of King's charismatic authority.[64]
Rothstein notes that while the Aetherius Society touts a television appearance of King's as a momentous event, contemporary media coverage of King was mostly negative.[84]
In 1958, the society's publication "Cosmic Voice" claimed to give details transmitted by the Cosmic Masters of an atomic accident in Russia, i.e. the Kyshtym Disaster, that was not known about in the West until 1976 when revealed by the New Scientist magazine.[22][85] The magazine, after receiving a claim about the transmission from the Aetherius Society, entered a two paragraph item under the title "Scooped by a UFO!", next to other news items intended to be humorous, such as a report of a "Dolphin Embassy."[85] The Aetherius Society, however, interprets the New Scientist coverage as recognition of King's integrity, and admission by the magazine that they had been scooped by a UFO.[86]
George King's Titles[edit]
King is referred to by the society "as an author, inventor, metaphysician, occultist, prophet, psychic, spiritual healer, spiritual leader, teacher, yogi and Aquarian master". He was also lavished with innumerable titles, degrees and honors[6] from unorthodox sources. According to the society, the various honors were all given to King as a "token offer of gratitude" for his work.[82] Rothstein observes that all of this hagiographical material is primarily aimed at believers who have special, 'esoteric' knowledge about King, whereas the society's communications during publicity campaigns are angled differently.[87]
Accordingly, many of King's titles and awards stem from obscure sources. Barrett notes that amongst King's titles are listed a Knighthood in the Sovereign Military Orthodox Dynastic Imperial Constantinian Order of Saint Georges, which was from the Byzantine Royal House in exile, and was not recognised by the College of Arms in England, as the title "Sir" might imply.[82] King received other chivalric titles and various degrees. Barrett states that neither the chivalric titles nor the degrees were recognised by any mainstream bodies.[88]
The Aetherius Society usually refers to King as "Dr George King".[89] The society does not, however, document where King received his doctorate. Barrett states that King received his doctorate from "...the International Theological Seminary of California, a degree mill with no accreditation..." King is also referred to as Metropolitan Archbishop of the Aetherius Churches. His consecration as a bishop was from the Theosophy-related Liberal Catholic Church.[88]
In 1991 King was "presented Letters Patent of Armorial Bearings also known as a Grant of Arms, by Bluemantle Pursuivant, a Herald of Her Majesty's College of Arms in England."[90][91] A Grant of Arms is applied for. Anyone can receive a Grant of Arms if they can satisfy one of several requirements.
The society claims that King was a Chaplain of the American Federation of Police.[89] The organization's full name is "American Federation of Police and Concerned Citizens".[92] Anyone who is a concerned citizen appears to be able to become a member for $45.[93] Charity Navigator gives this organization its lowest ranking (0 stars).[94] Several police organizations have warned that solicitation by the American Federation of Police are possible scams.[95][96][97] The site does not appear to have any official way to apply for a position as a chaplain and does not provide any list of official chaplains.
According to skeptic James Randi George King's titles of 'Reverend', 'Doctor' and 'Sir' are unverified.[98]

Videogames Clubhouse: RIP MVC and other acronymsIf you've ever seen the Gentlemen's Club you're already well aware that I'm hot garbage when it comes to fighting games. Apparently I've become notorious due to this fact. So earlier this week when Phil and Manny asked me to play Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 I just about died. Sadly, I was outvoted so I'll be spending two hours getting absolutely wrecked by people who are good at fighting games. If this sounds like a trainwreck you'd like to get in on you can come cheer me on over at Dtoid.tv at 2pm pst. God have mercy on my poor baby soul. '' Comments not appearing?

Review featured cards from our partners below. Advertiser Disclosure †
There are no cards that match your search criteria.
Please revise your search criteria above and try again or view your last search results below
A secured credit card is similar to a standard credit card, but with one big difference: To get a secured credit card, you have to first make a deposit with the card issuer equal to the amount of credit you'd like. So, for example, if you write the credit card company a check for $500, that $500, less any fees, becomes your credit limit. (Make sure you read the card agreement closely so you're aware of any fees that may apply.) Back to top.
Many people with bad credit don't qualify for traditional credit cards, so a secured credit card is a great way to enjoy the convenience of a credit card when you need it, while simultaneously building credit. Eventually, users of secured cards can graduate to traditional credit cards, so long as they've used the card responsibly (no missed or late payments). Back to top.
Some people who are interested in secured credit cards are also interested in prepaid debit cards. Prepaid cards are also a good, convenient option for people looking to make purchases with plastic (they function like a credit card when you are shopping, except that you cannot spend any more than has been loaded on the card). However, there is an important difference between secured cards and prepaid debit cards. Prepaid debit cards do not help build credit. Since the bank isn't extending you a line of credit for a prepaid debit card, your responsible use of a prepaid debit card is not reported to the three major credit reporting bureaus. That's not to say you must choose one or the other; prepaid cards have benefits as well, and can be part of a strategy to rebuild your credit, which we cover below. Back to top.
Maybe your credit got trashed because of a medical emergency or a job loss. Or maybe there was some other reason you couldn't pay your bills. In the end, when it comes to rebuilding credit, the reason you ran into trouble doesn't matter. A secured card can help you get back on track. Secured cards are different from prepaid debit cards because they report your payment history to one or more of the credit reporting agencies: TransUnion, Experian and Equifax.
As you rebuild credit, you'll want to be careful to avoid using more than 20% of your credit limit, because your credit score reflects how much of your available credit you are using. (So, because the amount you deposit for a secured card will be your credit limit, if you deposit $1,000, you would want to keep your balance to $200 or less. If you want access to more than that, you could consider securing your card with $500, and putting $500 on a prepaid debit card. Then you would have access to a little more than $600 -- $100 from the secured card and $500 from the prepaid debit card -- while still rebuilding your credit. You should look for cards with low or no fees.)
Carefully employing a secured credit card, keeping balances low and paying on time and as agreed will allow you to establish or rebuild your all-important credit score and begin to restore your credit. Back to top.

High-Risk Pools for the Sick and Uninsured Under Health Reform: Too Little and Thus Too Late

Get AccessABSTRACT
Democrats and Republicans have turned to the concept of "high-risk pools" to provide health care for those Americans who face the dual challenge of uninsurance and serious health difficulties. Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), these "high-risk" individuals will receive extensive help and regulatory protections, in concert with a new system of health insurance exchanges. However, these federal provisions do not become operational until 2014. As an interim measure, PPACA provides $5 billion for temporary, federally funded high-risk pools, now known as the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP). This analysis explores the adequacy of such funding. Using 2005/06 data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), we find that approximately 4 million uninsured Americans have been diagnosed with emphysema, diabetes, stroke, cancer, congestive heart failure, angina, or a heart attack. To provide adequate health care for uninsured individuals with chronic diseases, the federal PCIP appropriations would need to be many times higher than either Democrats or Republicans have proposed.

Tecmo Koei has pinned a March 22, 2013 U.K. release date to its upcoming PlayStation Vita brawler Dead or Alive 5 Plus.
Arriving two days after its Japanese counterpart, DoA 5 Plus includes a wealth of new features, including an exclusive first-person mode and touchscreen controls.
In addition, the handheld version is expected to remain on par with its PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 cousins, with developer Team Ninja promising the PS Vita version will maintain the "high-quality visuals" and 60fps frame rate of the home console release.
Speaking with Famitsu, producer Yosuke Hayashi commented, "It's still in the development phase, but right now the current build we have runs at almost 60 frames per second."
"We do not want the Vita port be seen by players as being inferior to the console versions, so we want to keep the game's high-quality visuals and have it run silky smooth."
Dead or Alive 5 was released on consoles in September 2012. Check out our review of the game here.

Awesome tire, rides well and digs in when you need it to for great traction!

I decided to go for something new and different. I love Michelin in terms of sticky handling, but was concerned about their seemingly quicker than expected wear. Dunlop gave me the most durability and good traction but tended to slip out sometimes. So I thought I'd give the Pirelli Scorpions a shot. Bad decision. Two rides in and the back tire soon will need replacing likely after a third. Under heavy throttle, it breaks loose far sooner than any tire that's been on the bike, even the Bridgestones that came stock. Front tire gets better marks in terms of handling, and is wearing better than its rear counterpart. But neither tire comes close to the sticky feel of Michelins nor the great combination of good traction and bulletproof durability of the Dunlops. Save your money and skip the Pirellis. Every other tire I've had (Michelin, Dunlop and Bridgestone) is a far better buy and provides way more bang for the buck.

I used this tire to race the hot summer nites races in tennessee, where the tracks get super hard pack and slick this tire grips well and very predictable , when the track gets slick and hard . Way better than the mx51 that had on before . Seems to work well when the dirt is softer also and much better wear than the mx51 . Would buy again !!

UPDATE: Stupid here forgot to mention that the thing had eggs in it – which just happens to be the main ingredient. Duh. I think I messed up on the nutrition info as well. I was riffing on the 'quiche' recipes from the previous weeks and thought to try a variation. I found a 'frittata' recipe that vaguely resembles this – with low cal this and fat-free that – so of course I had to change it up and do a remix. Using ingredients around the house as well as a special purchase of nitrate-free deli ham sliced as thick as the deli man said he could slice it, I whipped up the following
Mix to a uniform glop and use a soup ladle to put into a 12-cup cupcake pan. Cook for 1/2 hour at 350. I had greased the pan with an olive oil spray and the little 'frittatas' (the recipe I got it from called it that – I have no idea what a 'frittata' is) came out nicely with a spatula run around the outer edge. I think this might have been one of the best concoctions I have yet come up with. Everyone in the family enjoyed these, my daughter stating that they tasted like the souffles from Panera Bread. There was a perfect balance between the ham and the softened but still firm onions, each adding a layer of texture aside from the cheesiness of the rest, and the Greek yogurt added body and volume. The taste was fabulous if you like ham and cheese, they all came out of the cupcake tin with little effort, held together in a large container, travel well, and warm up great. These have been my lunch and dinner for a good part of the week. Great for induction. I'm eating 1 or 2 a day, am in induction now and my ketone level is moderate on the test strips – and I am losing weight eating them. That's important. Induction-friendly stuff can still sometimes cause a stall in some people. Extra bonus! Nutrition info! UPDATE: Lazy me sat down and made a tally – thought you might like to see – though looking at it 5 days later I think I screwed this up as well:
PS – I looked it up. Apparently a 'frittata' is not baked – that's a quiche. Call it whatever you like. |

Representatives of Britain's Jewish community met in June with King Abdullah. |

One of the first movies to deal with the plight of Chinese youth escaping to the then-British colony, the film throws realism out the window for a titillating romp in which beautiful girls are used and abused in the best tradition of erotic exploitation cinema.

Hear Eddie Vedder and Neil Finn's Big-Hearted 'Throw Your Arms Around Me' Cover
Pearl Jam and Crowded House frontmen earnestly inhabit Hunters & Collectors ballad
Pearl Jam and Crowded House have both been known to cover "Throw Your Arms Around Me," a tender 1984 love song by Australian band Hunters & Collectors. Crucible: The Songs of Hunters & Collectors, a tribute collection to the now-defunct group, arrives on September 27 via Liberation Music. The set has already brought the return of sample-wielding pop pioneers the Avalanches, who remixed 1982's "Talking to a Stranger." Now comes Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Crowded House's Neil Finn performing a bare-bones, hearts-on-their-sleeves take on "Throw Your Arms Around Me," all gleaming organ, brusque strums, and grainy harmonies. Hear it below, and try to resist the urge to bear-hug these gentlemen.

Metro International's US website has been hacked to serve malicious code to users, according to security firm Websense.
The news site, which is not linked to the British newspaper of the same name, is thought to have been injected with code that redirects users to a malware download, a contention Metro is said to be investigating.
Carl Leonard, senior manager of security research at Websense, said: "The rising prevalence of cybercriminals targeting news and media sites highlights that businesses cannot afford to continue to put web security on the back burner - ignorance absolutely is not bliss when it comes to cybersecurity."
A RIG exploit kit is said to be used to drop the virus, a tool that emerged this April and has previously been connected with Cryptowall ransomware.
In the last two months the United States accounted for a third of countries affected by the kit, with Canada, Australia and the UK accounting for 6% each, according to Websense.
"A compromised website courtesy of malicious actors, as is the case with Metro US, is a disaster in every organisation's book," Leonard added.
"It is therefore vital that businesses formulate a tried and trusted disaster recovery plan."
Metro has yet to reply to requests for comment.

According to Ripten, the New York Police department has it in for THQ's decidedly unsaintly Saints Row 2. Apparently, Illinois developer Volition may have its New York privileges revoked.
NYPD union boss Patrick Lynch has been carping on royally at New York's Daily News, claiming, "horrible and violent video games desensitize young people to violence while encouraging depravity, immorality while glorifying criminal behavior." It's only a game, Patrick. Like table tennis and tiddlywinks and that, you know.
Saints Row 2, as you'll probably be aware, is an especially down-and-dirty specimen of Grand Theft Auto 3 clone. One of your first tasks in the game is to bust out of an offshore prison, killing any and all representatives of the law enforcement community in the process, so it's no surprise the real-life fuzz are getting steamed up.
Saints Row 2 came out on Wednesday in North America and hits European shelves tomorrow. Australia gets it today.

"Another cliff-hanger, more Vlad and Leila to come!"
Wow! I just finished listening to Twice Tempted and I am blown away. I have been counting the months, days and then minutes after listening to "Once Burned", the first story about Vlad and Leila. I preordered the audiobook and downloaded it seconds after it appeared in my library.
The first story was really interesting, as unlike the previous novels in the Night Huntress World where the vampires, ghouls and demons have special powers, this time it is Leila, the human, who has extraordinary gifts.However, unlike the Night Huntress novels which achieved closure for the main story arc in each novel, Once Burned left us hanging.
This story has even more plot twists, with unpredictable events continually surprising the reader, yet they are integrated seamlessly into the plot line. Lots of trouble, broken hearts and romance, action and adventure, loyalty and betrayal. What a wild ride!
However, at the end, just when I thought the whole plot was going to wrap up nicely, Jeanine Frost left us with another cliff hanger! I am really glad that there will be more Vlad and Leila, but now I need to go scour the author's website to see how long I will have to spend in agonized waiting to find out how this story finally ends! I sure hope it won't be any longer than the wait for this book.
If you read Once Burned, if you are a Night Huntress Cat and Bones fan, this is a must buy audiobook. However if you are as impatient as I am, you may want to wait until this mini series within the larger Night Huntress World has concluded, as the wait is really going to kill me!
Once again, Tavia Gilbert has done a fantastic job with the narration and her skill really enhanced an already exciting story, and bravo to her and Frost for another great story. Hmmm. I think I'll have to listen to them back to back next. . . or maybe listen to the entire series again, as I do not want to leave the Night Huntress World!

So YAFGC and this ComixBlog are going to have to migrate in order to stay alive. We are in the process of doing this, I'll keep you posted as things evolve.
A Fresh Start.

After the last news update I made I realized I had to become more proactive about getting things moving and revving around here. So here's what I did. I started reorganizing my home studio a little and tried to inspire myself by printing out little covers or posters of all the comics I've done over the past 10 years or so. And look at this!
There are actually two more to go up ("24fps" and "Storybored") and this only includes the 4 volumes of YAFGC I published and doesn't include things I did as a sort of freelance artist. (Some guest shots, crossovers, things that never got published online, professional strips, jokes and others.)
I was quite prolific, hunh? But my current output is disappointing to me as much as it is to any readers who may still be lurking out of loyalty. I promise I'll try to do more. I want to fill that wall!!!
It's just a lot harder than it was. Bear with me!
Site Neglect: Guilty

Hey gang. As some of you have commented, noted, asked or otherwise speculated; I am still here. I'm doing okay and I am still updating YAFGC whenever I can, but this site has been sadly neglected. I apologize both to you readers who have stuck around and peeked in to see if things would update or not. I apologize to those of you who have abandoned hope and will no longer be looking in and therefore will not read this. And I apologize to my co-writers/artists who have been waiting patiently or otherwise to get things moving.
Truth is that I have become busy with my real life. Same old story I've been harping on for a while now. Once my job picked up the schedule and became like a real job I lost about 90% of my creative time. My evenings and weekends are devoted to family first, then I sometimes have a couple of hours to spend drawing (assuming I'm not too exhausted to care). I have, of course, been focusing on trying to keep YAFGC going in that time with various ComixBlog projects sitting withing grasp just in case the muse or opportunity arises.
Sadly, it's been a while and it kills me.
I will be making an effort to get things moving on here. I have "Genosha" and "Time to Kill" open on my desk in my study as well as a dozen unfinished "Storybored" strips (my co-writer is in the same boat and hasn't had the time or muse to complete them, though he brings it up from time to time with a renewed determination to get them done.)
I'm sorry for the silence. I can't promise it will ever be like it was back in the pre-children "10 Doctors" days, but I don't want to stop doing these.
Hard to imagine that at one time back in those days I was working on about 7 different comics at once.

Site News for here and yafgc.net

OKay, so the YAFGC site (yafgc.net) is still down and we're trying to attend to it as work and life allows. The problem currently appears to be a support issue between server and host. One has updated and the other can't cope and can't update along with it. A migration may be imminent.
Good news is that I have a new computer on the way which will help immensely. Also there are lots of new YAFGC strips and even some new material for this site that I'll try to get up soon.
Once my virtual world is back on its feet I'll try to get a proper relaunch going.
YAFGC is still down... having a bad week.

Update on the Dinosaur Table!
Posted 19:04Sun 15 June
by Rich
Anyone remember this old project? (Anyone still there?)
This is the project I came up with back in 2011 where I decided to build a playset for my daughter's toy dinosaurs. I posted some progression steps as I did it but m work on it became more and more sporadic and my reports on the subject even more so.
Well I was with the kids working in the basement and Jenny and I looked it over and came up with some ideas. So today we popped around the craft shop and picked up some supplies. Here's how it looks today. (Still unfinished, mind you, but much cooler to look at.)
Apatosaurus stands in the Jurassic area, towering over the tall fern (aquarium palm tree) to munch on some yummy leaves!
Meanwhile in the Triassic period, Dimetrodon works his way through the sand to get to the water's edge for a drink.
Over the Jurassic/Cretaceous border, an Allosaurus faces down a Carnotaurus. Note the view of the large lake around the mountain. Jenny painted most of the gradients in the water.
While Acrocanthosaurus dominates the forground, a pair of Styracosaurus amble along the river's edge, munching on some fresh vegitation. The giant Ground Sloth can be seen across the water in what will be the Ice Age section. This is also a great view of the caves, which open up into a big subterranean cavern where I hope to have a population of Neanderthals living at some point.
This is the view looking up the river. I want to have the river disappear into a relatively thick forested area at some point.
So what do you think?

Barcelona defender Dani Alves out 3 weeks
BARCELONA, Spain (AP)
Barcelona's already hurting defense has taken another hit with Dani Alves sidelined for three weeks because of a pulled muscle in his left thigh.
The Brazil right back left Sunday's 2-2 tie against Real Madrid in the first half and was replaced by Martin Montoya.
Barcelona was already missing Carles Puyol, out until December with a dislocated elbow, while Eric Abidal is still recovering from a liver transplant.
Defender Gerard Pique is expected to return soon from a sprained left foot.
Barcelona is also without midfielder Thiago Alcantara because of a damaged ligament, while Andres Iniesta, Jordi Alba, Adriano and Alexis Sanchez have all missed games this season due to health problems.

This is the second time we have been to this hotel, something we don't normally do. Not a lot has changed since the last visit some 4 years ago apart from the outside with two new bar areas, one outside the reception and one on the beach. The rooms are ok but the bathroom needs updating as do the corridors.

We wanted a cheap week away in the sunshine, a beach on the doorstep; a room with a safe, fridge and aircon that worked; clean sheets and towels; a reasonable choice of food and alcohol of a good standard; hard working staff who were not always expecting a tip - we got it all!
However we didn't want rude, obnoxious Russians but we got them. All in all if you travel without too many expectations you may be pleasantly surprised.
One big tip - spend your dinar before you get to the airport - they don't accept them in duty free or onboard the plane, only the little cafes where there is little choice (you can pay with euros or pounds otherwise). The porters at the hotel often have English pound coins which they want to change into dinar - worth asking.
If you want a better standard, pay more money (not always guaranteed) and don't go to Tunisia. This hotel is old, a bit shabby round the edges but its heart is in the right place.

An "L" head is like an Outboard that is mounted Inboard. Its a weird set up. Generally, they went the way of the Dodo in the early '80's. That boat you have listed is a nice one. The only thing I have heard with the 3.0 is that its better to run primium fuel.
And outboard mounted like an inboard, is that the term inboard/outboard I see referenced a lot?

At this moment, on a chilly morning in early January, Russo is standing in front of about 50 people in a conference room at the Howard Johnson Hotel on NW 163rd Street in North Miami. She's kicking off a massive campaign to unionize nursing home employees throughout South Florida, where the booming health-care industry employs increasing numbers of immigrants in low-paying, nonunion jobs. Nearly half of those jobs belong to certified nursing assistants (CNAs), also called nurses' aides, who earn an average of $6.03 per hour while performing one of the most dangerous jobs for women in the U.S., at least according to a study done last year by the Washington, D.C.-based Service Employees International Union.
Russo has spent her ten-year adult professional career as a labor organizer in the Southeast. And even though she herself has never worked in a nursing home, for this campaign she has corralled dozens of organizers and union members with experience as factory and/or nursing home workers.
The translations completed, Russo resumes. "What are we gonna talk about?" she asks. "Conditions for nursing home workers in South Florida have never been worse. It's so bad that women who've been working as CNAs up to twenty years are still making $5.25 an hour. How can you afford to pay $300 a month for medical insurance when you're making $5.25 an hour!" Russo shouts. Her audience responds with the nodding of heads, the clapping of hands, and calls of affirmation. "Not only are the workers makin' no money," she continues, "but they're suffering from back injuries, injuries to their legs, arms, shoulders -- injuries they suffer for life."
Cassandra Davis, standing at the back of the room, knows all this and every other pitfall of the profession. Davis, a tall woman with a determined gaze, worked as a CNA for fourteen years in her home state of Indiana. The Teamsters had organized health-care workers there, and Davis was an early and active union member. Although she loved her work, she loved union business even more, and now her job as a UNITE organizer in the South keeps her on the road three weeks out of each month, away from her home and husband back in Gary. Along with about ten other itinerant organizers, she has come to Miami to work alongside local UNITE staffers and a contingent of rank-and-file members.
"We think it's bad now -- we ain't seen nothin' yet!" Russo tells the crowd. "With the cuts coming down from Washington, the entire bottom is gonna fall out. There's not gonna be nothing for workers. So there's never been a better time in history for nursing home workers to organize than right now. Today. Not just one nursing home. Unless we organize hundreds and hundreds of workers all over South Florida, we won't have the power to defend ourselves against the cuts coming down now. The workers are ready, and all they're waiting on is us to back 'em up. Our job now is to go and talk to people wherever we find 'em -- at home, at their second job, on the radio, on the job. We need to let 'em know what their rights are. And we need to make sure they know this ain't no freebie. This is gonna be a fight. We need to prepare our people for the bosses' campaign of intimidation that we all know because we've been through it many times. How many of you been threatened for getting a union?"
Among those waving their hands in the air is Jean-Claude Demosthene, the personable young Creole translator. He immigrated to Miami seven years ago from Port-de-Paix, Haiti, and is a single father of a two-year-old girl. Until last fall, Demosthene worked in a warehouse at Parts Depot, Inc. and was among several active UNITE members. He was also one of about a dozen union members who were told they were being laid off from the company for economic reasons; however, they're certain they were let go in retaliation for their union activity, and UNITE lawyers have asked the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to order their reinstatement. Demosthene has become a valued rank-and-file organizer for UNITE and is considered an instrumental liaison with the city's Haitian community in this campaign. "Talking to my people," he says often, placing a hand over his heart and tilting his angular, vaguely feline face.
Winding up her pep talk, Russo prepares to hand out manila folders bearing lists of names, addresses, positions, shifts, and whatever other information organizers have been able to glean about workers at several area nursing homes. Two- and three-person teams will fan out from Homestead to Fort Lauderdale to announce the start of what is generally called "the blitz." For the next two weeks, union campaigners will work around the clock to make their presence and intent inescapably clear, both to employees and to management.

So many things have been going on lately... I'm not sure where to begin. We had a VERY eventful week last week.
Monday the 26th, I received a letter that I was accepted to law school. I finally decided to go back to finish my law degree... I was sick of putting my life on hold in the hopes of having a family. I'm super excited and nervous at the same time. I'll be working full-time and going to school part-time. I start in August!! EEK!
Tuesday the 27th is when all hell broke loose! DH and I had taken the day off because we had a 1pm appt in Boston for a 2nd opinion for IVF. Around 9am, we got a call that MIL fainted at work and was in the ER (she works at the hospital)... with her symptoms, they were thinking heart attack, but we weren't exactly sure what was going on. We were really debating what we were going to do... Boston or not? DH was of the opinion that we go since it took so long to get this appt in Boston. We received an update around 11am that his mom was conscious and doing well, so we decided to go to our appt. It's less than an hour away so we could get back pretty quick if we needed to. I'm so glad we went!!! This doc was able to look at my HUGE file (he made a comment about the book on his desk, LOL) and give us some options.
1. He thinks we need to take some time away from TTC and focus on getting healthier (ie- lose weight and get DH's diabetes more under control). I completely agree. We have both been really slacking in that area because well... when we are stressed, we tend to eat more.. and what can be more stressful than IVF??? LOL! He believes we are still young enough (we are 35) that it wouldn't be detrimental to take some time off.
2. He thinks DH and I are "amazing"... he said after everything we've been through re: TTC, he's amazed that we can still laugh/joke and be positive about TTC. We have a great support system.. including you wonderful ladies. You've all kept me sane more than once
3. He doesn't think we actually need IVF!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT??? LOL. He thinks that because I got pregnant before on Clomid that my tubes aren't really blocked. He think that my uterus just spasmed during the laprascopy so it looked like my tubes were blocked/partially blocked. He suggests that we do an HSG to be sure about the tube issue. He also said that instead of IVF, he'd like to try me on Metformin in combination with either Clomid or injectibles. I love this idea because quite frankly, I hate needles... the less I have to deal with multiple shots, IV's, etc...the less stressed I'll be!!!!
4. He believes acupuncture would be a great idea (and can't hurt at this point!!) for just overall stress reduction.
5. He also recommended another diagnostic test that is done on sperm. It can identify any genetic issues within DH's sperm. It's more in depth than a sperm analysis. It's not covered by insurance... but it only costs $200-300, so it's definitely not cost prohibitive and will give us peace of mind on that front.
6. He definitely thinks we will be successful. Everything looks good on paper and with a few tweaks (to lifestyle and fertility meds)... we might finally have a family!!!!
The appt was VERY positive overall. I'm so glad we went for a 2nd opinion!!!
On another note, My MIL is doing great! It was confirmed she did have a mild heart attack. She went in for a cardiac cath. and they found one of the arteries at the back of her heart (cardio called it the "smoker's artery") was 100% blocked. He put in 3 stents (spelling??) and it is now open. MIL was home 3 days after her heart attack. She still gets a little tired, but she says she hasn't felt this good in years!!!! It was a huge wake up call for the entire family... she's young (only 55) and healthy otherwise so no one expected her to have a heart attack. MIL has officially quit smoking!! YEAH!
That's it in a nutshell. I'm sorry for the book, but everything just happened at once!!! LOL.
Wow that is a lot happening at once!!
I'm so glad that you got the 2nd opinion in Boston, I'm very excited for you!
And congrats on getting into law school!
Wow!!!! You've had a long past few weeks. I was just thinking about you the other day. Thanks for the update!
Congrats on getting into law school. I agree that you might as well go back now. If you wait until you have a family, it may never happen because you'll be busy with your family.
I'm sorry about your MIL but I'm glad she seems to be doing a lot better. Sadly it sometimes takes something like this to change a person's lifestyles. I'm glad she quit smoking.
I'm also glad you made the choice to go to Boston. It sounds like you found a great RE. That is awesome that he doesn't think you'll need to do IVF. There is so much less stress with the plan you have in place, less money, meds, etc.

Sounds like lots of positive lifestyle changes will be going on in your house with your MIL, you, and your DH! My DH smoked for 20+ years and quit after the first doctor to ever ask if he was interested in quitting wrote him a 'script for Chantix. That dr. was our RE.
Glad to hear you had such a great appointment. Maybe that was the motivation you and DH needed to work on yourselves! What's your game plan?
And congrats on law school! Focusing on IF can really stall our dreams. Glad to hear you're heading forward with your plans!

Thank you, Jacqueline. It truly is as the title implies... Three watercolor paintings combined with three of their remixes, plus some digital texture.
They are all just magnificent, Jacqueline, like a synthesis of hundreds of Rothkoesque color vibrations. I love the transparency.
Thank you so much, Geoffrey! I am a big fan of the AbEx's (who isn't?) and I think the hours I spent staring at those canvases at the MOMA definitely left an indelible impression on me.
Thank you ThoughtCloud! These colors came from 6 different works that I combined here. Glad you like how they all came together!
