The U.S. Army plans to open the National Museum of the United States Army — NMUSA — near Washington, D.C., in 2019 that will include recognition of World War II AJA soldiers of the Military Intelligence Service, 100th Infantry Battalion and 442nd Regimental Combat Team.
Work on the three-story, 185,000-square-foot facility is underway on 83 acres at Fort Belvoir in northern Virginia, located about 20 minutes by car from the nation's capital. See https://armyhistory.org/
Information about the project was presented by officials of the National Veterans Network and NMUSA at a July 26 briefing at the 100th Infantry Battalion Veterans clubhouse. About 70 people attended, including World War II MIS veterans Herbert Yanamura and Ted Tsukiyama, both of whom initially volunteered for the 442nd RCT and were then transferred to the MIS.
Speakers included retired Army Gen. Eric Shinseki, a board member for the Army Historical Foundation, which is raising $200 million for the museum; NVN executive director Christine Sato-Yamazaki; NMUSA director Tammy Call; and Dr. Charles Cureton, chief curator for the Army's Center for Military History.
Call introduced a brief video about the museum and described its layout. She said the Nisei soldiers would initially be featured in three locations within the museum. One location is a set of 10 pylons, each telling the story of an AJA soldier. Dick Hamada, who served with the Office of Strategic Services in Burma and China, has been selected to represent Hawai'i MIS soldiers. Another Nisei special exhibit will highlight the Congressional Gold Medal, which was awarded to the veterans of the 100th, 442nd and MIS in 2011. That exhibit will have additional display space for artifacts the museum hopes to obtain from the AJA community

For the first time I made a complete show in Planet Coaster, for which I used the Display Sequencer. The show is located in the Pixel Arena with a stage, tribune, special effects and decor. Hopefully you like it! The video consists of two experiences. First, you can watch the show in close-up at night. After that, you will experience the show during the day as a visitor on the tribune.
❇ Story ❇
Amelie, a happy, sweet girl lives in a cozy medieval village. One day the village is disturbed by a terrible witch. She kidnapped Amelie and locked her up. Then she uses her black magic to enchant the village. During this show you witness the kidnapping and undermine the black magic by yourself. But beware! In the village there's a large statue of a dragon, the witch wants to make it alive. Hopefully the archer can beat the witch.
❇ Spoiler alert ❇
In the end, the witch is chased by the archer, you can see her flying away. Then he frees Amelie and they still lives happily ever after.
❇ New speed build series ❇
Are you curious about how I made this show? Starting next week, a new "How it's made series" will launch on my YouTube Channel. In these videos you can see how I made the Spooktacular show, all the way from scratch! Stay tuned. After this series, the steam workshop link will be online.

It has been a priority for years in many developed countries around the world. It is described as a step in the right direction to help countries save energy, protect the environment, and provide a healthy living environment for people. Green buildings clearly bring value to users. They also make good business sense. If planned well, green buildings cause little or no increase in the cost of construction, and actually save significant amounts of money in the long run.

It was a great day here at the "White House" and we were all outside enjoying the weather. I was sitting on our bench and then it hit. I was seeing stars and then the double vision hit. I just felt weird. All I remember was my husband telling me to go lay down and nothing else. I made it to the couch, mumbling crazy incoherent (sp) things and don't even remember it. Derek was asking me some questions and I wasn't responding. The lights were on and no one was home. I just don't get it.....
He rushed me the the ER and low and behold I had another seizure.... My head was pounding so bad that I felt like my right eye was being squeezed with someones fist. They gave me a CT scan and called in my scans from Maryland. They also gave me Dillated and Benedryll and Zophran.
Well, I was released...(big surprise) and told to call my NS and see a PC....Hard to do with no insurance.... I am going to go to the County Health Department today to see about getting on the meds. I'm still waiting for the state to call me back and tell me if I can get approved on medical.
I know why this happened and I know that I am supposed to be on meds. I need to try to stay calm in the event of undo stress. Everytime I stress out I have one. It's horrible, but with all of the new stress it was bound to happen.
I think it's time that we all write e-mails to the President again. I'm so sick of scraping by and wondering why. We all need medical insurance and if we can't afford it this is supposed to be there for us. Why is it that our tax money and the relief money isn't going where it should. This country is falling apart and fast. Businesses going under and more people are homeless....Oregon has one of the Highest unemployment rates and they give us money to build a new bridge....claiming that it will create job...Big clue!!!!! Not all of us can do construction... What a joke. They also gave Oregon money to Dredge the Columbia river.... That isn't going to give me a chance at a job either. What a joke....
They say that for every job opening there are at least 100-200 applicants. College graduates are working at Mc Donalds. Why don't we worry less about what's going on in other countries and try to take care of our own.
Sorry to vent, I just hate the way the government is spending the "relief" money....
I'm doing OK now. I was in bed all day yesterday and still have a little headache today. Such is the life of a brain tumor patient.

Become a Prostitute or Lose Benefits?
In this chapter of "World Gone Mad," we'll look at another red flag signaling the deterioriation of ethics in Western culture.
Can a woman in Western culture really be pushed into the sex industry? Check out this article by Clare Chapman in the Telegraph (UK) dated 1/30/2005:
Under Germany's welfare reforms, any woman under 55 who has been out of work for more than a year can be forced to take an available job – including in the sex industry – or lose her unemployment benefit. Last month German unemployment rose for the 11th consecutive month to 4.5 million, taking the number out of work to its highest since reunification in 1990.
The government had considered making brothels an exception on moral grounds, but decided that it would be too difficult to distinguish them from bars. As a result, job centres must treat employers looking for a prostitute in the same way as those looking for a dental nurse.
When [a] waitress looked into suing the job centre [for trying to "place" her in a brothel], she found out that it had not broken the law. Job centres that refuse to penalise people who turn down a job by cutting their benefits face legal action from the potential employer.
"There is now nothing in the law to stop women from being sent into the sex industry," said Merchthild Garweg, a lawyer from Hamburg who specialises in such cases. "The new regulations say that working in the sex industry is not immoral any more, and so jobs cannot be turned down without a risk to benefits."
Miss Garweg said that women who had worked in call centres had been offered jobs on telephone sex lines. At one job centre in the city of Gotha, a 23-year-old woman was told that she had to attend an interview as a "nude model", and should report back on the meeting. Employers in the sex industry can also advertise in job centres, a move that came into force this month. A job centre that refuses to accept the advertisement can be sued.
Miss Garweg believes that pressure on job centres to meet employment targets will soon result in them using their powers to cut the benefits of women who refuse jobs providing sexual services.
"They are already prepared to push women into jobs related to sexual services, but which don't count as prostitution," she said.
"Now that prostitution is no longer considered by the law to be immoral, there is really nothing but the goodwill of the job centres to stop them from pushing women into jobs they don't want to do."

I have been wondering too if this hip/leg pain and numbness isn't coming from the sciatic nerve and is unrelated to the scoliosis and/or sgurgery. Has anyone's doc mentioned this?
Also, my doc is recommending cortisone shots to see if this supresses the pain. Has anyone done this? Also, does anyone know of any reason NOT to do the shots?? Side effects??

This week is pretty empty of major global transits. The last couple weeks have been intense with all that Pluto activity so thank goodness for that! Thank goodness for boring! We need some time to let the dust settle. Beginning next week Leo Season kicks off with a number of big and aggravating aspects, and the astro will get HOT. We are building an astro bonfire as we travel throughout Leo Season up until the much anticipated Total Solar Eclipse New Moon in Leo on August 21st – the grand finale before the Sun shifts into Virgo. Astrologers are calling August the most important astro month of the year (in terms of global transits).
Okay, but what about this week? While we are still dealing with the ripple effects of the weekend's Full Moon and Sun-Pluto opposition, the Moon slides into Aquarius on Monday, giving us an opportunity to gain some forward-thinking clarity and rational distance from our emotions. On Wednesday it will enter into the dreamy, spiritual sign of Pisces, and then will finish the weekend in Aries, forming the Last Quarter Moon square to the Sun in Cancer on Sunday.
The single major transit this week is Mercury's sextile to Jupiter on Friday. Mercury in Leo wants to communicate in creative new ways. Mercury in Leo wants a rapt audience. One could also say the same about extroverted Jupiter moving through Libra. Jupiter in Libra is expanding our knowledge, our confidence, and our sense of adventure within and through social interactions, as we learn how to bring them into a beautiful interdependent balance.
Leo and Libra are two signs that are often associated with beauty and the arts. With communicative Mercury in Leo forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter, the King of grandiose gestures in Libra, Friday's cosmic weather strongly supports theatrical performances. Whether you're in the audience, or on the stage, learning or performing, the astrology of July 13th – 15th invites your joyful inner child into exuberant adventures through the performing arts.
Alternatively, you may find yourself having invigorating conversations or swept up in reading material about art, justice, peace, and relationships. These energies are as hopefully buoyant as they are dramatic. Give yourself the freedom to be inspired.
…There is a small catch, however. As Mercury forms a 60° sextile to Jupiter, it also moves into an exact 150° quincunx with Neptune in Pisces while Jupiter is still holding on to its tight quincunx formation with Neptune from last week. Combined, the three planets form a grand configuration called a Yod, or… "The Finger of God". In a chart it looks like a skinny isosceles triangle with only two equal sides.
I have never commented on a quincunx aspect before (also called the "inconjunct" aspect with a glyph that looks like a picnic table – ⚻), because I am usually so busy covering the forecast for transits that involve one of the five "major" aspects in astrology (the conjunction, square, opposition, sextile, and trine). However, among the "minor" aspects, the quincunx is the one that I generally weight the heaviest in interpretations and this week there are a handful of them popping up. The significance of the Yod/Finger of God configuration is somewhat controversial and debated. So… shall we all take note of what plays out as we near the end of the week? We can put it to the test.
A quincunx is like water and oil. Water and oil are of two different densities with antithetical molecules. If you pour both into a glass they will quickly separate with a layer of oil rising to the top and a layer of water resting on the bottom. Similarly, two planets (or signs) that form a quincunx aspect are incompatible in many ways. They are not having a confrontation or argument as you might find with the square or the opposition – they simply do not understand each other whatsoever. They stare at each other in bewilderment, unsure of how to even begin conversation.
In a natal chart this can create puzzling awkwardness, confusion, misunderstandings, and frustrating agitation for the chart owner when attempting to get those two areas of their life to integrate (e.g. my Pisces Sun/Mercury is quincunx my Leo rising and it sure is irritating!). The way forward is often through compromises, adjustments, mediating through other astrological aspects, or compartmentalizing those areas of life according to their different functions.
The Yod configuration with a third planet involved exacerbates this tension, but also increases its potential if the tension is productively harnessed. The apex planet (which is Neptune in this week's example) is where we are trying to get to. It's where "God's Finger" is pointing.
The base sextile between Mercury and Jupiter feels easy, but the mutual push-pull with Neptune is uncomfortable. As you delight in the childlike joy, theatrical performances, and inspiring, enthusiastic conversations that Mercury and Jupiter bring, keep your energy moving forward. The house placements for this aspect will give you some clues as to how this might be showing up for you.
It may feel like there's a disconnect between our ideals, and our confidence to achieve them; a disconnect between what we deeply long to express to someone(s), and what we are actually communicating; a disconnect between our creative vision, and our current rate of growth and success; a disconnect between the intuitive dreams and whispers we know to be true, and the knowledge needed to manifest them; a disconnect between the spiritual evolution of the collective, and the current state of justice and peace in the world.
It will likely require some creative adjustments and compromises, some possible sacrifices, but aiming towards the Yod's peak could reveal a unique and special purpose or outcome we have yet to discover and experience – one that is well worth the troublesome effort.
In addition, the Sun will be forming an exact quincunx with Saturn on Friday, creating some tension between our identity and direction of self-development, and our self-discipline and focus to do the work required. Be wary of the path of least resistance on Friday. The easy Mercury-Jupiter sextile is a lovely aspect to be sure, but it could lure us into trouble.
So that's Friday.
The other cosmic weather worth mentioning is the Last Quarter Moon on Sunday, which indicates that we are 3/4s of the way through the current lunation cycle, on route to the New Moon in Leo the following Sunday. Here we have the Moon in Aries forming a challenging square to the Sun in Cancer. This pits the archetype of the mother against the archetype of the warrior – similar to the Mars in Cancer vibe. This is a time to begin releasing the intensity of the last few weeks that may still be clinging to you. It is a time to take a step in a new direction, or to take action in a direction you've recommitted to.
Action (Aries) is most effective when it is grounded and rooted in a nourishing foundation (Cancer). Be careful that you don't impulsively throw yourself into a "new beginning" so quickly that you lose your footing and find yourself dealing with burn-out, or massively disrupting your life in some way (Aries). Conversely, be wary of the tendency to remain stagnant, ruminating on past Pluto business or nursing past grievances (Cancer). Mercury quincunx Pluto on Sunday suggests that perhaps we are still struggling to process the events of the last few weeks and our encounters with our shadow.
Be assertive with your self-care and the rights of others around you to nourish and take care of themselves. Ground yourself in your community, on a foundation of emotional stability that will then become a powerful springboard for your next big courageous move.

AP Poll: Projecting the AP Top 25 after Week 6
We got an all-time classic between the No. 8 and No. 9 teams, but America's heavyweight schools prevented any significant changes at the top.
Here's our best guess at what The Associated Press voters will go with on Monday* (and we'll make sure to update at the conclusion of Saturday's late games):
*Remember, the poll is late this week due to UGA-South Carolina
Dropped out: Stanford, Colorado, North Carolina
(Entering week: Unranked) They might never make up the Florida game, but there are still four major challenges — vs. Ole Miss, vs. Alabama, at Arkansas, at Texas A&M — waiting for the Tigers after next week's meeting with Southern Miss.
24. Auburn (4-2)
(Entering week: Unranked) A 35-0 halftime lead shocked most SEC fans, though the Tigers weren't very impressive in the second half of their big win at Mississippi State.
23. Western Michigan (6-0)
(Entering week: Unranked) Right on the fringe of this week's Top 25, the Broncos should finally poke through after a 45-30 win over Northern Illinois.
22. Arkansas (4-2)
(Entering week: No. 16) The Razorbacks put up a decent fight against Alabama, but their defense was awful outside of forcing a trio of turnovers. At least Austin Allen survived.
21. Utah (4-1)
(Entering week: No. 24) Lowly Arizona took a 14-12 lead into the half, but Utah bounced back to outscore its Pac-12 opponent 17-0 in the third quarter en route to a convincing win.
20. West Virginia (4-0)
(Entering week: No. 22) The Mountaineers were on bye. They'll travel to Texas Tech next week.
19. Florida State (4-2)
(Entering week: No. 23) DeMarcus Walker blocked Miami's game-tying extra point attempt, giving the 'Noles a 20-19 victory and extending their rivalry winning streak to seven.
18. Virginia Tech (4-1)
(Entering week: No. 25) The Hokies made their case to be considered one of the ACC's top teams with a 34-3 beatdown of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
17. Oklahoma (3-2)
(Entering week: No. 20) A wild Red River Shootout resulted in a 45-40 Sooners win, and Baker Mayfield appears to be back in Heisman form.
16. Boise State (5-0)
(Entering week: No. 19) The Broncos have a great shot at going undefeated, but a lackluster schedule will likely keep them out of the College Football Playoff conversation.
15. Florida (4-1)
(Entering week: No. 18) Will the Gators ever play LSU? Who knows, but they will certainly benefit if the game is cancelled.
14. Houston (4-1)
(Entering week: No. 6) Hopes of a College Football Playoff berth went out the window with a loss at Navy.
13. Miami (4-1)
(Entering week: No. 10) A blocked extra point kept Miami from tying Florida State in the final minutes of a 20-19 loss at home. The 'Canes are perfect no more.
12. Tennessee (5-1)
(Entering week: No. 9) The Volunteers' magic appears to be gone after a double-overtime loss to Texas A&M. They'll need to rebound against Alabama next week in Knoxville.
11. Ole Miss (3-2)
(Entering week: No. 14) The Rebels were on bye. Chad Kelly used his vacation to make headlines in Buffalo.
10. Baylor (5-0)
(Entering week: No. 13) The Bears were on bye. They host Kansas State next weekend.
9. Nebraska (5-0)
(Entering week: No. 12) The Huskers were on bye. They're preparing for a trip to Indiana.
8. Wisconsin (4-1)
(Entering week: No. 11) The Badgers were on bye. They host Ohio State in primetime next Saturday night.
7. Louisville (4-1)
(Entering week: No. 7) The Cardinals were on bye. They host Duke on Friday night.
6. Texas A&M (6-0)
(Entering week: No. 8) While a blown 21-point lead was disheartening, the Aggies did the impossible: they snuffed the Zombie Vols. It'll be a close call between A&M and Louisville in this week's poll.
5. Washington (6-0)
(Entering week: No. 5) Mark off another milestone for this year's Huskies; Saturday's blowout win at Oregon was their first victory against the Ducks since 2003.
4. Michigan (6-0)
(Entering week: No. 4) Rutgers looked like a Pop Warner team against the Wolverines, who broke the 70-point mark with plenty of time to spare in the fourth quarter.
3. Clemson (6-0)
(Entering week: No. 3) The Tigers got their weekend started early with a 56-10 win at Boston College on Friday night.
2. Ohio State (5-0)
(Entering week: No. 2) We didn't get the blowout we expected against Indiana, but the Buckeyes still produced a 21-point win at home.
1. Alabama (6-0)
(Entering week: No. 1) A few uncharacteristic Tide turnovers allowed Arkansas to stay close, but Nick Saban's team put forth a punishing performance in Fayetteville that will allow it to keep the No. 1 spot locked down.

On Monday, May 19, 2015 Great Lakes Area MotorCoach Association (GLAMA) representatives Jane Roush (President), Pat Lintner (Senior Vice President) and wife Vickie, Dick Montgomery (Michigan Regional Vice President), Mike Wiese, Parking Chair and wife Sherrie, Ken Lewis (Assistant Parking Chair) and Doug Erman (local member of GLAMA) attended a meeting at Allen County Fairgrounds to discuss plans concerning the facility being a future site of the GLAMA rally with David Grimm, General Manager of Allen County Fairground, Lima, Ohio and Tim Singhouse, fairgrounds employee; Fairground Board President Dan Kimmet and Gary Kramer, Fairground Board representative; and Brad Core and Doug Ditto, Core Consulting Engineers.
David Grimm began the meeting by advising us that he had just heard from the Ohio Department of Health concerning the variance request he had sent to them for a proposed RV rally. (During the initial meeting held in October, 2014 the GLAMA board members stated the variance must be in writing before any further consideration could take place.) The Ohio Department of Health had several questions that David Grimm answered and he feels that he will be getting the variance soon.
Brad Core and Doug Ditto heard our requests concerning what our needs are to be able to park in the West lot (maximum up to 3 inch difference from side to side in 20 feet and maximum up to 4 inch difference from front to back with 40 feet length at each site). They had not been given this information before this meeting.
The entire group proceeded to take an outside tour of the West lot and also inspect an open lot next to the current campground that is used for car parking. With the guidance provided mainly by Dick Montgomery, Mike Wiese and Ken Lewis the board members, Dave Grimm and engineers spoke about possibilities of how to change the terrain and make it motor home friendly. They felt the meeting was a definite success and gave them a better idea of what is needed so that the changes made to that area are usable for all types of recreational vehicles and could be utilized for several events throughout the year by the fairgrounds which would benefit the local economy.
Dave Grimm promised that we would have answers concerning variance and leveling of terrain by end of July, 2015.
We did state that there has been 2 fairgrounds recently located in Michigan that are being considered to be used for future area rallies.
Jane Roush, President, GLAMA

Md. OKs birth certificate bill for transgender residents
Md. OKs birth certificate bill for transgender residents
ANNAPOLIS, Md. —
A measure to make it easier for transgender residents to get new birth certificates has cleared the Maryland General Assembly.
The Maryland House of Delegates passed a Senate bill Wednesday on a 91-49 vote. That sends the bill to Gov. Larry Hogan.
The measure allows transgender residents to get new birth certificate, and it does not require them to have undergone surgery. The bill also requires the new birth certificate not to be marked as a change in a person's gender, as they are now.
Supporters of the bill say taking away the requirement that the birth certificate was amended will help ease concerns about discrimination when transgender residents apply for jobs.

PUEBLO, Colo. (October 26, 2017) - The Colorado State University-Pueblo women's soccer team hosted its second annual RESPECT Game and continued its hot streak Thursday winning its fourth straight game 3-0 over Western State Colorado University on Parent's Night at Art & Lorraine Gonzales Stadium.
Prior to kickoff Pack head coach Sierra Cardenas and her team welcomed and honored the Parent's and family supporters in attendance at the game in a pregame ceremony.
Opening the game on a frigid evening at the pitch, CSU-Pueblo was active from the onset. The Pack fired a pair of shots in the first five minutes and connected on their third shot of the game in the 16th minute on a goal scored by freshman Cara Siegel (Pueblo, Colo.). It is Siegel's third goal of the year.
The Pack continued the pressure in the half firing five more shots at the net and earning three first half corner kicks.
Through the first period CSU-Pueblo held a 8-3 shots lead and 3-0 on corners.
In the second period, with the temperatures dropping the Pack kept the heat on the Mountaineers attacking the net and shooting two shots to begin the half.
Junior forward Mackenzie Bean (Bothell, Wash.) netted her RMAC-leading eleventh goal of the year in the games' 60th minute on a nicely served pass by reigning RMAC Defensive Player of the Week Jessica Westhoff (Sr., Centennial, Colo.).
Pack goalkeeper Alexa Eastep (Fr., Henderson, Nev.) fresh off being named RMAC Goalkeeper of the Week, made her home debut and did not disappoint. She made two saves on six shots by WSCU.
The Pack put the game out of reach in the waning minutes on a goal by Justine Martinez (So., Pueblo, Colo.), her first of the season, taking a pass just across midfield from Samantha Guadarrama (Fr., Trenton, UT) and driving up the right side and hit inside the far post.
At halftime former CSU-Pueblo women's soccer player Mariel Hundley returned to the pitch and read a short letter about diversity.
In part the letter read:
"We cannot nourish the flower of life by watering it with division, hatred, and bigotry. Instead, we should be conscious to water it with compassion, unity, and respect for one another."
Hundley added, "It is within basic human right to be approached with respect. That in itself, is not a hard task to pursue."
With the win the ThunderWolves set up a big game Saturday against University of Colorado Colorado Springs to cap the regular season. The Pack still hold a chance at hosting a quarterfinal game on Tuesday.
CSU-Pueblo (8-6-1, 7-3-1 RMAC) kicks off at 11 a.m. against the Mountain Lions at Gonzales Stadium on Senior Day at the pitch. Seniors Brittney Crank (Idaho Falls, ID), Danelle Dondelinger (Louisville, Colo.) and Westhoff will each be honored prior to the match.

As a member of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, Colorado State University – Pueblo competes in 22 varsity sports in NCAA Division II intercollegiate athletics.

Summer Camp: Week of July 27
By Heather Taylor
As our weeks have continued the children have been able to explore their relationships with animals all the more, exploring their roles and ours as they have played animal and trapper, skunk and spray victim. We have examined animal trails and holes through the bushes, speculating about foxes and skunks that may live inside. Teacher Elena captivated everyone with a tale of a large, growly mammal she experienced in the woods back in Ohio and we have been researching the skull she brought back from near the animal's cave. We took a trip to explore the "fish head dumpster," which most of the kids deemed too stinky to examine closely until I peeked my head inside and exclaimed, "Shark heads!" At that, most of them clambered up or asked to be lifted to get this great opportunity to examine a real shark up close. Now I want to get a dissecting kit and a way to reach inside that dumpster! Fish are fascinating, and sharks all the more so. We watched a hawk come to land near us and wondered if it was going to eat another snake. CA ground squirrels were welcomed into our camp this afternoon as they explored our space completely unthreatened until they spotted dogs in the distance. We thought about how much traps have intrigued us and thought up ways we might trap some squirrels. One child asked another to bring in a large apple tomorrow, while asking for additional supplies from other friends.
What further adventures await?
M obliges as he readily entered a trap set for him.
Examining the animal skull from Ohio.
Hello, ground squirrel!

The department's deputy director Quach Hong Tuyen said most unlicensed houses were located in the rural districts of Binh Chanh, Hoc Mon, Thu Duc and Go Vap. Locals often built homes on farmland, he said, citing lax oversight by the districts.

Amarin Corporation Stock Chart by YCharts
So when the company released a letter to shareholders Tuesday morning, it seemed like a good idea. At the very least, it couldn't hurt.
Or not.
Shares slipped nearly 6% Tuesday and another 10% yesterday after the biotech announced plans to offer $150 million in senior notes.
That spike in April was because the company released positive phase 3 data showing that AMR101 reduced triglycerides in patients with mixed triglyceride levels. Maybe we can chock up the peak at the end of May to irrational exuberance. But there's little reason for Amarin to be trading below where it did before the phase 3 data in April.
Sure, there are some patent issues that might reduce the life of AMR101. The drug is a fish oil similar to GlaxoSmithKline's
And the capital raises are a necessary evil of being a development-stage biotech still seven months away from a likely approval. In addition to launch costs, Amarin is running a cardiovascular outcomes trial to expand the potential patient population for AMR101.
But both of those looked like foreseeable issues to me in April, but even if they weren't, they don't seem to justify a 68% decline from Amarin's 52-week high.
The big problem -- one not addressed in the shareholder letter -- is that investors were expecting a quick sale of the company after the results in April. Investors are starting to worry that big pharma isn't interested. AMR101 won't compete with cholesterol drugs -- in fact, it can be used in combination with them -- so Merck
I think management needs to come out and say that it isn't looking for a strategic alternative, put the expectations to bed, and move on from here. What do you think? Take our poll and let us know why you voted that way in the comment box below.

Mare of the Week- Round 4
Jake is too busy to piece together a full wrap of weekend in numbers, but nothing could make him take away your opportunity to vote for the "Mare of the Week"
What a cruel game fantasy can be. Your team somehow piles together 2000, and you feel as if you are on the right track. You make two trades, further strengthening your unit that you are beginning to like. All of a sudden you get hit with a score of 1700 and it's back to the drawing board. If you have been following my weekly article The Numbers then you may have picked up on a weekly segment called the "Mare of the Week", where i give you the chance to point the finger at one player who had at absolute nightmare of a round. Normally i'd give 5 options, however this week is an exception. I had a hard time nailing it down to just SEVEN players who are all deserving of MOTW, but now it's up to you to pick one.
Sam Gray: A season average of 81.5 is not horrible, but if you traded him in after a stellar round 1 you would be very disappointed with a three round average of 69. On the chopping block, and would be a deserving recipient
Stefan Martin: Would be a bit harsh to vote for Stef considering he was on track for 120, but there is no denying that he had a nightmare of a game. May is about the last person person you would want to be bumped in the head by (OK, 2nd last behind mumford)
Ryan Davis: Against a depleted Lions team he should have snagged a solid 3 goals and 15 touches on his way to 70 fantasy points. Should Have. 31 on the field is a killer, especially if you backed him over Mills (92(
Clay Cameron: Similar story to Davis, after scoring 90+ against Carlton many would have expected a similar output against the lions. Never came.
Tommy Sheridan: Had the Dockers been 4-0 i think he would be averaging 90+, but if they don't get the ball he can't collect his junk. A score of 57 pushes his average down to 75. This is not sustainable on the field, let alone at D1 or D2 where some teams were trusting him.
Mark Blicavs: What a horrible year for the rucks (Aside from Max Gawn who seems to be piecing together some form). Many would have used a free trade this week to downgrade to the steeplechaser, and a score of 57 against the Dons is not what they would be expecting.
Tom Mitchell: If you've had him all year it might be a bit harsh, considering his average of 111 is still impressive, but if you traded him in this week, or worse captained him, then you've definitely had a mare. Swans lose, Titch gets 60. Coincidence? I think not.

Review: Revlon ColorStay Foundation
Revlon Colorstay usually retails at most drugstores for about $12 but at Walmart it was actually $10, so that was my first plus. I purchased this in the shade Buff after some initial online research. Ivory and Buff are the two lightest shades though Ivory is for those with pink undertones and Buff is more neutral/beige with a very, very slight yellow tint.
When I first applied this, I was a bit worried that I had picked the wrong color as I normally wear Cover Girl Clean makeup in Classic Ivory ( which is what I'm ultimately comparing this too throughout the review). Buff is slightly more yellow but when blended, it actually matched my neck perfectly which has never happened with a foundation before. I applied this my pouring a little on the back of my hand and blending onto my face with my ELF large stipple brush.
The first thing I noticed was that this was slightly thicker than my CG foundation and that it provided almost full coverage immediately with the first application. It blended into the skin very easily. It does have kind of a scent to it but its not too overwhelming.
I applied this at 8 in the morning and it is now 4 in the after noon, which means this foundation has been on for 8 hours. I did set this foundation this morning with my Rimmel London Stay Matte pressed powder and only now have I had retouch with pressed powder as I was starting to look a tad oily. I did that about five minutes ago and after doing so, it literally looks like I just applied this foundation. There has been no settling or separating, it still looks great. This says that it will last 24 hours. Now, I'm not actually going to stay up 24 hours just to tell you how it looks but I would say that if it still looks good now, it will easily last for the rest of the day.
Of course, this is only my first day using this foundation but if I was judging on first impressions only, I would say that I have probably just found my favorite foundation, finally ending the life time search. This does have a matte finish, which I'm not a huge fan of but as you can see from the photo, I've applied a blush with some shippers in it to liven up my face a bit as you could easily do the same with highlighters or whatever.
The photo was taken after about six hours of wear and you can see it still looks pretty good.I do have some issues with acne/large pores which I think it covered quite nicely. Also, I should note, I did not use a primer. After this amount of time, my cover girl foundation would have already halfway melted off or settled into my pores, especially without a primer. So, obviously, I'm quite pleased with this foundation. I will continue to use it for the next week or so just to make sure I don't have any issues with breaking out but right now, I love this and I can see why it has been so popular!
[What I'm wearing in the photo: Revlon Colorstay Foundation in Buff, E.L.F. Studio Blush in Candid Coral, Rimmel London Stay Matte pressed powder in Natural, Cover Girl Lip Perfection lipstick in sultry, Cover Girl Perfect Blend eyeliner in blackest black, Maybelline the Rocket volum express mascara in very black]
Have you tried this foundation? What were your thoughts?

This was exactly the kind of review I've been googling for! I also use CG Clean in classic ivory, but since I'm going to purchase Revlon Colorstay from eBay, I've been unsure about which shade to pick. Thank you! :)ReplyDelete

When Eleanor first saw this magnificent cathedral, she was amazed at its beauty and artistry. In Prague, it towers over the surrounding buildings. How she wished it were in England, so she could visit it frequently. A thought crosses her mind, but she frowns, dismissing it as a vapid hope. The thought was….if it were in England, perhaps, one day, she and Lord Hugh could wed in the cathedral. Sadly, she knows Lord Hugh wants nothing to do with her — and wants only to wed her younger sister. Eleanor enters the cathedral to say a prayer. Can you guess what it is?

Papua New Guinea: West New Britain Aug 27—Sep 04, 2014
Posted by Dion Hobcroft

A smooth arrival into Port Moresby gave us enough time to squeeze in a couple of hours of birding at the Parliament House building. Beyond admiring the architecture on display, we spotted some quite good birds. Amongst the species on offer were Torresian Imperial-Pigeon, Coconut (Rainbow) Lorikeet, Blue-winged Kookaburra, Sacred Kingfisher, Black-backed Butcherbird, Brown Oriole, Gray Shrike-Thrush, and Fawn-breasted Bowerbird to mention some.

An equally smooth departure had the group arriving in Hoskins, the largest city in the province of West New Britain. Interestingly, a volcanic eruption near Rabaul in the north of New Britain had seized global media headlines, but did not disrupt our tour in any way. An hour later we were based in Walindi Dive Resort, our very comfortable base for the next four nights. Greeting us at the lodge, beyond the very friendly staff, were Greater Sand-Plover, Gray-tailed Tattler, Common Sandpiper, Lesser Frigatebird, Brahminy Kite, and Spangled Drongo. Our first afternoon foray took us into the hills overlooking the resort. Joel, a local man, had staked out a New Britain Boobook, a small endemic hawk-owl. It was soon focused in the binoculars—a great start. We had great views of Knob-billed Fruit-Dove, Red-knobbed Imperial-Pigeon, Yellowish Imperial-Pigeon, Red-flanked Lorikeet, Purple-bellied Lory, Eclectus Parrot, Blue-eyed Cockatoo, Moustached Treeswift, Pacific Baza, and our first magnificent Blyth's Hornbills.
This year the seas were smooth so I could arrange a deep water pelagic element to our usual inshore island cruise. We headed towards Kimbe Island, picking up Wilson's Storm-Petrel, Black Noddy, and Brown Booby on the way. Stopping at the island first, we found a beautiful Beach Kingfisher that allowed a close approach, while there were plenty of Island Imperial-Pigeons to distract us. A Yellow-bibbed Fruit-Dove, a species rarely seen here, made a brief appearance, as did Mackinlay's Cuckoo-Dove. Scarlet-bibbed (Sclater's) Myzomela were "squeaked" in overhead. We cruised out wider, laying out some chum of tinned mackerel and vegetable oil. Not much happened, but then a Red-necked Phalarope, a rare bird here, made a good fly-past. Then a large, dark storm-petrel appeared over the slick, giving the leader heart palpitations. A Matsudaira's Storm-Petrel, a first live sighting in New Britain, even allowed some diagnostic photographs of its pale primary shafts. We headed inshore to Malo Malo Island where we had great views of Nicobar Pigeon perched up before heading for lunch at Restoff Island. Here we landed and enjoyed excellent views of Mangrove Golden Whistler and Island Monarch. Several folks went for a snorkel, enjoying a variety of colorful corals and tropical marine fish that included species of angel, butterfly, trigger, clown, and parrotfish. Tired but happy, we returned to Walindi.

It was not over for the day and the keen folks continued for an hour of late afternoon birding at Numundo Beef Ranch. The major highlight was a covey of Blue-breasted (King) Quail that fed beside the road including the knockout male, a bird that rarely shows to the telescope. Black Bittern, White-browed Crake, Bismarck Munia, Australian Reed-Warbler, and Papuan Grassbird (heard) were all recorded. Then Joseph called out a dashing raptor in flight that obligingly perched. It proved to be a female Australian Hobby that was digiscoped, the second record for New Britain. What a day for rarities.
Our next full day was broken into morning and afternoon birding with a siesta in between, my usual modus operandi, if possible. The morning was spent at Garu Wildlife Management Area. Here geothermal heat incubates the eggs of the Melanesian Scrubfowl. Some patient stalking in the forest gave some good scope perched views of these shy birds. Other new birds included good numbers of Stephan's Emerald Dove, the extraordinarily tiny Buff-faced Pygmy-Parrot, a very timid Velvet Flycatcher, Common Cicadabird, and the cute Bismarck Flowerpecker. In the afternoon we explored a new site called Vage (pronounced Vay-gay), where vegetable gardens abut primary forest. It was alive with many of the big, brassy, colorful birds that are a feature of New Britain. Very obliging Dollarbirds and Varied Trillers livened the scene. While trying to draw out a Rufous-vented Bush-hen with the group, Joseph spotted a large black accipiter, presumably the rare Meyer's Goshawk.
The following day we spent exploring the Boku area, one of my favorite sites in this area, with some good trails in the forest interior to do battle with some of the many skulkers here. After some patient work we were rewarded with great views of Violaceous Coucal, Black-tailed Monarch, and the spectacular Black-capped Paradise-Kingfisher. The afternoon saw the group taking in the relatively relaxing birding at Kulu River Bridge. We were in luck and enjoyed a quartet of Spotted Whistling-Ducks. Towards dusk we found a Rufous-tailed Bush-hen swimming across the river. This was followed by a pair foraging out along the river bank, a rare event for this usually highly secretive species.

On our last morning we returned to Garu to squeeze the last possible birds to our list. Flowering trees produced quite a lot of action. Coconut (Rainbow) Lorikeets were joined by Ashy, Black, and Carmine and a brief male Red Myzomela, the latter unusual at this low altitude. At the last minute we eventually located a pair of the scarce, inconspicuous endemic White-mantled Kingfisher. It is amazing what a racket twenty Eclectus Parrots and four Blue-eyed Cockatoos can make together; quite the scene. A last stop in a swamp produced a Purple Swamphen and a rarity in the form of a Dusky Moorhen. The recently split Red-bellied Pitta (now 16 species) was heard and despite some effort would not budge towards us. The last bird for our list was a heard only Superb Fruit-Dove.
Beyond the birds we observed several enormous Great Flying-Foxes and some interesting lizards including a Forest Angle-headed Dragon and a Brown Tree-Snake, the villainous species that was introduced to Guam in World War II and ate all of their passerine birds to extinction. Now it was time to head to mainland Papua New Guinea for our next adventures.
Many thanks to Joseph, Max, Andrew, Cheyne, and the crew at Walindi for making our tour of this fascinating Melanesian island so comfortable and enjoyable.

Flamingos. Do I need to say more? Who knew a long pink bird with a long black beak would be this summers rage? While running errands around Rockport today, I usually make rounds to come places that I stop by once a month. There was tons of cute flamingo decor. From garden decor, wind chimes, outdoor tray, to wine glasses. The one flamingo trend I couldn't pass up without buy was this Maxwell and Molly shirt.
You can't go wrong with this vibrant hot pink shirt and a little cutout just to put it above a regular tee. This shirt is a perfect brunch tee shirt to throw on with some cutoffs, right earrings, and some sunglasses to hide last nights makeup :) Less that $25 for a comfortable and perfect quality tshirt is something you can't pass up! Luckily these earrings were also from M&M. Such a huge trend and I am still debating in getting them in different colors. Yall these shorts... I splurged, but it was for my birthday and once I tried them on I knew I needed them! I had to get them in another color! The cut off length is perfect and sit just on the hips. I love to shop small and bought these at my favorite boutique in Rockport, Bay Window or HERE online. They are so comfortable and I am ready to wear these with a tank and bathing suit!

Piggott, J.
1. Mukhtar Ahmad and Amir Ahmad have been convicted by a Magistrate on the charge of having caused hurt to an Excise Inspector, one Mr. D.D.C. Das, and certain constables in the discharge of their duties as public servants, and Lave been sentenced to imprisonment and fine. The conviction and the sentences Lave been aflirmed by the Sessions Judge on appeal. It seems to me that tLe Courts below have assumed, but cannot be said to Lave judicially determined, that the persons who were hurt were acting at the time in the discharge of their duties as public servants. They have dealt with the plea of private defence set up on behalf of the accused persons, and have excluded that plea by reason of the provisions of Section 99 of the Indian Penal Code. This finding implies that the Excise Inspector and the constables were resisted at a time when they, being public servants, were acting in good faith under colour of their office. That is not the same thing as a finding that they were acting in the discharge of their duties as public servants. The distinction was pointed out by a Bench of this Court in Queen-Empress v. Dalip 18 A. 246 : A.W. N (1896) 48. So far as my examination of the record goes, I do not find myself able to arrive at the conclusion that the Excise Inspector and the constables were acting in the discharge of their duties as public servants. Mr. Das, who was engaged in searching the house of Mukhtar Ahmad, accused, on suspicion that he might find there cocane, committed a number of irregularities in conducting this search. He had no warrant authorising him to make this search : he brought with him only one search witness (section 103 of the Code of Criminal Procedure), and nothing in Sections 102/48 of the same Code justified him in directing a constable to scale the outer wall and effect a burglarious entry into the house. Following the precedent set by the reported decision of this Court, which I have already quoted, I set aside the conviction of Mukhtar Ahmad and Amir Ahmad tinder Section 332 of the Indian Penal Code and in lieu thereof convict them of the offence of causing hurt under Section 323 of the same Code. I reduce the sentence to one of imprisonment for such period as they may have already undergone, together with a fine of Rs. 15 each. Any fine in excess of this amount which har; been paid by the applicants will be refunded. The accused need not surrender and their bail-bonds are discharged.

New York City: curb your damn UPS trucks
Walking downtown to meet the missus today. This was just in Little Italy, but I went via Prince St/Broadway to go to Best Buy. This is only to explain how I came to be at this intersection (click for the large version):
The corner of Spring and Crosby, to get coffee (there's a Starbucks franchise under the scaffolding). Now to the problem. Sadly, this picture was not taken this afternoon because, this afternoon, the part of Crosby St directly in front of this street view contained the following. On our left, two UPS trucks: one right on the corner (nearer to the corner than where you currently also see a truck), one directly behind it (parked, curbside, on deliveries). On our right, a third freaking UPS truck, also parked curbside. Between these was another truck, trying to get any sort of visibility whatsover – i.e. sticking its idiot front out into the traffic on Spring Street itself. Unbelievable.
Back in 1986, the New York Times had a story about UPS owing the city USD1.2m in fines (story behind the wall). More recently (thank you, Lexis Nexis) the Washington Times reminds us that the practice hasn't changed (also behind a wall):
… records obtained through the DMV's Office of General Counsel showed that on a typical day earlier this year, UPS owed $28,755 on 471 open tickets.
That's second only to its competitor FedEx Corp., which had 493 open tickets for $30,630. Each company had more than 100 vehicles ticketed. The only other company with more than $10,000 in open tickets was Verizon, owing $10,430 on 289 tickets.
A UPS spokesman said the company encourages its drivers not to get tickets, but added the tickets are sometimes an unavoidable cost of doing business.
"We train our drivers to try to avoid tickets, but we have to provide service to our customers," said spokesman Malcolm Berkley.
Mr. Berkley also said UPS has enrolled in parking-adjudication programs in other cities such as San Francisco and New York City. "It's a vehicle that allows us to manage the tickets we do receive," he said.
It's commonly-known that UPS treats parking fines as an ordinary cost of doing business as UPS. Back in 2006 the NY Daily News covered the complaint specifically with regard to this city:
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly blasted a city policy that allows FedEx, UPS and other delivery companies to defy parking rules without punishment – while average New Yorkers get socked with tickets.
Kelly said guidelines that permit delivery giants to clog streets by double parking without punishment for up to three hours should be reined in.
"Does that make sense? Is that common sense living in this 8.1 million-population city?" Kelly asked the City Council.
"You can double-park and unload a commercial vehicle for three hours and that's considered expeditious parking."
Kelly's words resonated on the city's crowded streets, where many New Yorkers slammed the three-hour grace period crafted by the city Finance Department.
"They park out here all day," said Manhattan handyman Mike Pau, pointing to trucks double-parked along 47th St. near Fifth Ave. "It's like their office."
Kelly said the grace period should be shrunk to 30 minutes – and only if there are no legit spots nearby.
The delivery outfits get the grace period on top of another city perk that allows them to avoid paying full price for all their parking tickets. Since July 2004, City Hall has offered companies a chance to pay reduced fines in exchange for dropping their right to go before a judge.
"It's not fair," said Mark Carbone, 55, a precious-metal buyer. "I'm here two minutes and I get a ticket."
But jeweler Leon Garadet, 25, saw wisdom in the perks. "They deliver millions of dollars of merchandise," he said. "It's important for the economy."
That last line is ridiculous: M. Garadet might be reminded that everybody living and working in New York City is responsible for billions of dollars of merchandise – but they all get their cars towed or clamped. So what we have here is the twin system: preventive taxation for ordinary individuals (or small businesses), but mere revenue-raising off the backs of bigger companies like UPS and FedEx.
Seriously, though, the situation this afternoon was just moronic. For a start, why can't UPS figure out how to use only one truck for deliveries in a single set of city blocks in lower Manhattan? Thus, the question: how to figure out a system by which to make UPS bloody-well behave? The administrators at/of Long Beach figured out that day-trippers were treating the parking fine as an ordinary cost of the day at the beach – so they jacked up the fines (significantly).
Would the same work with UPS? No. The costs would simply be passed along to consumers (more than not), while businesses would hammer the City over the policies. The Washington Times article, for example, specifically discusses the use of fleet-adjudication programmes to pay fines in toto, per month. Escalation? Good luck towing a UPS truck (and, probably, sorting out the lawsuits from people who needed the things that had been inside). Same for clamping them.
My plan!
Part 1: a stated hierarchy of violations. The one I saw this afternoon, for example: Class 1. Random double-parking can be, say, Class 3. Doing so in narrow mid-town cross-streets can be Class 2. You get the idea. If you're the third UPS truck and you block up a street by parking next to two others, you should absolutely be hammered for it.
Part 2: Come the end of the month, businesses should attract a progressive rate of taxation on parking violations, case-mix-adjusted. UPS pay fines at an increasing marginal rate, the more violations they collect. If UPS breach pre-specified thresholds (too many overall, too many Class 1's, etc.) they cop real punishment: punitive levels of taxation, limits to the number of trucks they can operate in the city. Something.
That's my plan. If UPS wants to treat every street like a potential parking-space, fine – but we can, very easily, produce the incentives required to at least have them do it in a manner that minimises our inconvenience or endangerment.

Hi there! We're requesting input from those who may be interested.
The Usable Toolkit, a brand new project that just started at usable.pbwiki.com essentially selects the best tools helpful to everyone. Delivery services, like UPS, is one section. At the moment, we're basically jotting down ideas, pros, cons, lists, for this important project towards the public good that has lasting value.
Whatever you decide, please let us know: eretcenter0000 (at] gmail {.} com / If no, let us know why so we can find ways to improve the project. Better yet – yes – and we can give you an invite key so you can edit it whenever you like.
So that viewers can be aware of the project and its need for help, please leave the post and tell others about it – like how the Firefox project grew because it was spread.

Something wicked this way comes
Skin: Witch
Age: 18
Look: Lithe, Playful Eyes
Origin: Gifted, by a nature spirit she disturbed when on a hike who claimed it was part of an experiment to gauge how a mortal would react, or the path they would take, when given powers previously unknown to them. This may suggest that others have been given similar gifts or similarly changed, but if so, Cassie isn't aware. Nor is she aware if the 'spirit' was telling the truth, or the extent of her new powers.

One on Alex Richards
One on Garnett Whalley
One on Zed
Sympathetic Tokens:
Garnett Whalley: Cassie has stolen her pelt in return for a favour
Zed Tuckerman: She recently borrowed his Biology notes-
Background: Cassie lives with her older brother, Gabriel, having moved out of her parents house at the beginning of summer. She gets along with her brother, but the 10 year age gap between them means they have little in common. She does not get on with her neglectful parents. She has always skirted the edges of most social groups, being known but not popular, often leaving people with the impression of not knowing quite what to think of her. She is incredibly non-committal, even seeming unmotivated on occasion. She is often caught dozing in class, and knows most people by how often she has copied their homework or notes. Despite this, she somehow maintains a pretty decent grade average.
Cassie does not enjoy confrontation, but she also won't stand by and watch the usual asshole bullies stomp all over the kids who can't or won't defend themselves, although she is very reluctant to ever enter into any kind of physical altercation. She has also often been told that she has no filter between her head and her mouth, which has gotten her into plenty of trouble with student and teacher alike.
She considers Zed a friend, and has a few classes with him. She often copies his notes.

Conventionalization of lexicons in social networks
In my master's work, we showed (1) that Nicaraguan Sign Language conventionalized a basic lexicon faster than did four different homesign systems, and (2) a group of simulated agents in a social network like that of NSL (roughly, a fully connected one) conventionalized faster than a group of agents in a social network like that of homesign (a star network, with the homesigner at the middle). We thus have suggestive evidence that full networks are faster at conventionalization than are star networks. With Matt Hall and my co-advisor Marie Coppola, I am now pursuing verifying these network effects experimentally with hearing individuals brought into a lab setting.
Conventionalization and reduction of referring expressions
For my dissertation, I used the experimental data from the above project, as well as agent-based models extended from those of my master's, to understand why conventionalization and reduction of referring expressions are correlated in naturalistic language emergence and change.
Are prosodic representations amodal?: An ERP investigation
Which properties of languages and linguistic representations are shaped by the channels in which they are used – auditory-oral for spoken languages and visual-manual for signed languages — and which properties are shared across channels, suggesting that they reflect an amodal or supramodal language system? With Marie Coppola, Nicole Landi, Kaja Jasinska, Sandra Wood, and a host of other collaborators, we are investigating whether amodality might extend to processing of prosodic phrasing, by comparing ERP responses to intonational phrase boundaries in a signed language (ASL) to those in a spoken language (English).

Finally made it here after reading some good things in recent years. WOW, it was really excellent. Staff is very gracious and welcoming.
We had two of the kebabs, ground and spiced and filet, and they were excellent. The star at the table, IMO, was my butterflied and grilled brook trout, intensely smoky and very richly seasoned. Seasoining here is intense, complex at times, really stands apart from the usual, IMO, especially on that fish. Could not get enough.
Instead of rice, we had grilled veggies as sides, and they, too, were smoky off the grill, a really nice assortment of whole plum tomato, onion, peppers and zucchini sticks. Bread was grilled, very good, too.
our apps were a greaseless sigara stuffed with feta and herbs, excellent, and eggplant slices topped with what tasted like Italian marinara (very good, just unexpected) and yogurt sauce.
Cannot wait to return, we thought the meal was outstanding.

Access Bars is a hands-on energetic process that is one of the foundational tools of Access Consciousness and has been called the short cut to clearing the mind, healing the body and achieving inner peace. It is called 'Bars' because touching a point on each side of the head creates a 'bar' of energy through the head.
The Bars are a series of 32 points on the head, each of which correlates to a particular area of our life. They store the electromagnetic component of all the thoughts, decisions, creativity, sexuality, control, awareness, power, ageing, beliefs, judgements, joy and emotions that you have ever had about anything.
By touching on bar you activate it and begin to clear away the energy locked up in that aspect of your life. Add touching another bar and you not only get the 'issue' from the first bar, you also begin clearing the 'issues' stored in the second bar as well. You will clear all the points of view about those two bars in relation to each other,
allowing for exponential change!
This is an incredibly nurturing and relaxing process, undoing limitations in all aspects of your life that you are willing to change. By clearing all of these limitations, a whole range of possibilities begin to open up for you and
life gets much easier! How does it get any better than that?
Having your Bars run is a relaxing experience.
All that's required of you as the recipient is to lie down, relax and receive.
Each Session is $85.00

If we were having coffee I would tell you about this dream I had last night.
It started off with me on Tatooine, looking for She-Ra. I found her, but the planet was going to blow up for some reason (Death Star?) We barely managed to get off the surface and then crash landed on another planet called Tatooine Ghost (Which is actually a book, set on Tatooine.)
It was basically Earth, which makes no sense. By the time we got there, I had to pee really bad, so I was looking for a bathroom, and found this door that opened into a secret room of people operating an illegal phone sex business.
I tried to get out of there, ended up in the parking lot, and one of the phone sex guys got beat up. I called the cops on my ancient cell phone from 1999. I was waiting to be questioned when the Leverage Crew showed up.
"Me: No. No, no, no. Get out of here, you guys, please, I don't want to lie to the cops!
Eliott: Who the hell are you?"
Then NCIS shows up to question me.
"Me: OH FUCK there is no way I'm going to be able to lie to Gibbs, get out of here NOW…Agent Gibbs! Hi! Listen, I really have to pee…"
This the second time Leverage and NCIS have been in my dreams together.
Have a nice weekend, folks! Hope you got a laugh.
