Tongue tie them with this oldie but goodie, spoken rapidly.........How many sheets can a sheet splitter split if a sheet splitter could split sheets!!!! Now faster!!!!! Okay, it's now off to Bed, Bath and Beyond for some new 200 thread count, percale duds made with with the finest imported Eqyptian cotton. March 30th is right around the corner. Maybe I'll go with a customized velcro hoodie this time too.
Ah ha, a Memphis Twofer! Way to open up the local 'Spring Killing' season!! The gentle breezes harking the coming of warmer weather has obviously stirred the local thugocracy. Let's see...plenty of yellow crime scene tape...check.....extra body bags....check.....coroner's office on speed dial....check. Getter done!!!
Do not forget the 'stick' that stirs this pot......Coach Lionel Hollins. This guy is really good!
Welcome to the weekly b***h session, home of Memphis' communal attempt at portraying SNL's Doug and Wendy Whiner with a touch of Rodney Dangerfield for added effect. The constant UT bashing remains tedious and is like whizzing in the wind. Unfortunately, the Tigers seemed to be destined for a nomadic existence when it comes to institutional affilations. There's a saying that describes a thing as being 'fish nor fowl'. That fits the U of M. Sorry, but the local self perception of the school does not resonate much beyond the city limits. What was it that Dirty Harry uttered about 'a man's got to know his limitations'.
in response to LeftCoastMemphonite: Indeed, that would rank high on the list of risky sitting spots. When in Memphis, should one desire to "sit", may I suggest Nebraska?

Good choice Lefty. Nebraska had a population of 1.85M in 2011 with a TOTAL of 67 murders which works out to 3.6 per 100G. Memphis had 672G with 117 murders which works out to 17.9 per 100G.
May I suggest trying Iowa or Minnesota? Iowa had 3.06M in 2011 with 46 murders or 1.5 per 100G. Minnesota had 5.34M with 54 murders or 1.4 per 100G. Iowa and Minnesota had a combined population of 8.4M and recorded 17 fewer murders than the city of Memphis alone!!!! You gotta report'em as you see'em. My advice is to keeping moving if you are in Memphis.
in response to MoMemphis: From the photo, the property already looks like its ready to open for business. Looks exactly like a lot of the BBQ restaurants in Memphis.

Your less-than flattering comment seems to have offended many of the CA chattering class commentators who champion these local 'rustic', culinary emporiums that offer various swine, bovine and poultry delicacies. In order to be humorous, and it was, comments like yours have to contain a modicum of truth, which yours also contained. Wasn't it Jack Nicholson who admonished someone with that famous line.....'You can't handle the truth'!!!! Then again, maybe your are one of those mean, uncaring rubes from Mississippi or even worse, Arkansas!!
Certainly sounds like the Tiger Faithful are still trying to convince themselves that they deserve a high seed in the tournament. There are three teams that can beat them in Tulsa. This bunch is still not playing as a cohesive unit and the poor free throw shooting is going to be their Achilles heal....again. I fear that another mid bracket seed is going to result in yet another SLU one and done.
Me thinks the local elected gentry have just experienced a slight reduction in temperature of their collective 'foot bath'. The legislature looks to be intimating that it is they and not a lesser government body that holds sway over parks and historical sights. The usual 'suspects' opposition was expected. Remember, it's always 'fools that walk in where angels fear to tread'.
I wonder, does he 'play well with others'? We will soon find out if this is going to be a continuation of the current hog wallow or maybe a Gordian Knot solution. What do the M & M boys have in store?
Nice road victory. Not pretty, but nice. UTEP will be a challenge in El Paso. My mine concern remains the poor free throw shooting. The opposing coaches know who to put on the line in the tight situations. I'm already practicing crossing my fingers, arms, toes, legs and if needed cross my eyes for the upcoming tournments.
Living off the government largess, DUI, gun violation, free housing......hmmmm....got to be one of those urban dwellers. Well, kiss my grits, it's a suburban white weasel!!! Who'd a thunk that?!! I certainly hope the media does not let him avoid answering questions about this 'convenient' living arrangement. What other 'perks' have he and his ilk been enjoying? Inquiring Minds NEED to Know!!!
I feel sorry for the rest of the kids on the team. This could have been a crowning moment in their high school career. The adults let them down...big time. It's not like we're having to re-invent the wheel. The b.s. practiced in the college ranks has thoroughly infected high school programs. Remember Derek Rose and the kid that got yanked from Auburn's football team this fall? When will the coaches and administrators be held accountable and punished instead of the kids?
What can they do? The Catholics have not only taken their game but their name too!!! The wizards of smart at the U of M have struck again. Can you say Ohio Valley? What a mess.
This has turned out to be a worse case scenerio. If the state legislature cannot craft a bill creating munis that will pass his muster then be prepared for a disfunctional monstrosity to be jammed down Shelby County's throat. Mays rather pointed comments left no doubt about that. You are looking at a $1.5B budget, massive busing, teacher transfers and wholesale degradation in the overall quality of education provided and received. Freddie Kruger is back for a prolonged visit to Memphis' version of "Nightmare on Elm Street".
Poor Memphis. It certainly did not take long for those Catholics to 'evaluate' the new neighbors before bolting toward the first exit! Leaving was one thing, taking the Big East designation just adds insult to injury!!! Remember, there is more to conference affiliation than just sports. Things like academic standards, public image and of course the ever present 'snob factor'. You all can lay this one right at the door steps of good old RC and Shirley. What a Dynamic Duo! Thank you sir, I'll have another!!!!
It will be interesting to watch this new phase unfold. In general, chefs can be a prickly bunch. The good ones are usually unsufferable. However, look at the hours and conditions in which they toil. They know they are only as good as the last satisfied customer and realize that each one is a critic. The timing here may work out for both party's. Unshackled from the business side of the equation, John's creativity should blossom. He'll give Sharky's a bit more of a dining experience as oppossed to a place to go eat seafood.
Not a well-played game. Neither team shot well. Memphis was horrible from the line. Black and Stephens were a combined 1 - 12! A blindfolded person can hit 1 - 12!!!! Xavier also doubled up on the offensive rebounds too. Just an awful night. If they shoot free throws like this in the tournament and it will be another one and done.
The latest jug of Tiger Kool Aid must taste pretty good. The faithful are sure feeling the effects. It looks like the only way the C-USA gets more than one entry in the tournament will be if someone upsets Memphis and then they get an at-large bid. The A-10 might get 5! I also saw today that St Louis U is ranked 21 in one of the polls. Memphis is 25. How ironic would it be for them to meet again with the same result? I certainly hope the local phamacies are well stocked with Prozac when things go off the tracks, again!
Wow, how dare these Swamp People attempt to defile our world renowned skyline! Shame, shame, shame you big bullies. These are the same people that will 'demand' their place at the head of the line when Bass Pro opens. I hope they get served some of those Filet O'Memphis Sewer Bass sandwiches.
(This comment was removed by the site staff.)
This latest revelation is not good. His intentions may be noble but I am afraid his getting sucked into an insoluable situation like KC and St Louis! The judge in KC went so far as to set the tax rate. In St Louis a judge mandated the formation of a Voluntary Interdistrict Coordinating Committee which then oversaw an giant busing program which cost hundreds of millions. Both districts are now 'shells' of their former selves and neither are accredited. It took close to 30 years before they finally ceased so be prepared for the long haul if Mays falls into this 'rabbit hole'. Just remember, your kids only get one shot at a good education, don't shackle them with anything but the best you can provide.
The photos were stunning!
Ending the season at 30 - 3 and still being looked upon as the Rodney Dangerfield of college basketball for 2013? Unfortunately, yes! Look at poor Butler. They've had two recent Final Four's, numerous signature wins and it's still 'but and well' from the so-called experts. Gonzaga is another example. Just keep winning!!
I hope the local pharmacies have a good supply of anti-depressants should the Tiger win-out and then do another C & B. They have to receive at least a 3 or 4 seed. Depending on the region, those 5 - 9 seed games are upset prone. They are coming together at the right time. We shall see just how 'real' when they play against better competition with everything on the line.
It is inevitable that schools in Memphis will have to be closed and personnel let go. Using the MCS as a political patronage tool and employer of last resort has finally come to a tipping point. This is yet another sign of a city in distress.
What? Did you expect something different from Cash & Co? Just wait till the MCS tsunami rolls over the SCS. The money to fund this so-called 'World Class' system is just outside of 240 and now well within reach. That initial $200M deficit is just the first installment. You know there will be MASSIVE interdistrict busing to achieve that much sought after goal of racial balance throughout the district That includes teaching staffs too. All of a sudden that 'qualified' teacher in Germantown is transfered to the Hickory Hill area and under the new evaluation guidelines mysteriously becomes 'unqualified'. Welcome to the Memphis version of "Nightmare on Elm Street".
Very Barry-like....a balanced approach, almost like the bed in Goldilocks.....juuust right! I cannot wait to read their recommendations. Will it be a consensus with majority rule or one with a dissenting viewpoint also expressed? Do they have the authority to issue something along the lines of the Ten Commandments or the Ten Suggestions? No Circle K here, it's a Circle J!
Guess who's going to 'make-up' the difference? Why those rich people in Shelby County, that's who!! Barry the Omnipotent has shown them the templet. It's now time to start implementing. The city has dumped all financial responsibility and the former MCS 'architects' are now finding additional goodies to produce a 'World Class' school district. However, it won't be cheap. Our children deserve the best. Thars' lots o'gold to be had beyond 240!
I wonder if a minority hiring clause was mistakenly omitted from the 'fine print' with this deal like it was with Electrolux?
"Can't we all just get along?" Right! This is why so many do not even bother with 'multi-culturalism'.
Can you imagine the people in charge of moving the legal goal posts for this pack of feckless weasels. Can you say 'human pinballs'? Write NOTHING in ink and buy stock in eraser futures! Just sit back, watch and enjoy your 'gubment' at work!
Delta Airlines may just hold the keys to this bid! Of course, that assumes Memphis will still have air service. Then again, by 2024, King Willie's World Class Bus Depot will be up and runnin'!!!
I would not be surprised if this 'bid' was sent by The Onion.
Wow, life is rough on the lower left-hand side of the Bell Curve.
Is Buckwheat dead?
These Kluckers will go through all the motions and then, like the true cowards they are, cancel at the last moment.
DW should have called POTUS Barry. I understand he was the 'QC' guy for the Chum Gang's Island Gold wacky tabacci purchases. No cutting with oregano allowed!!
Knowingly or unknowingly, our local version of the SNL Whiner's may have swerved into a 'teachable moment' with this article. The total lack of historical knowledge expressed in the responses is truly appalling. Where does one start to gain a better understanding of this topic? To begin with, African-Americans need to read Carter G Woodson's 'The Mis-Education of the N****'. Euro-centric's should read Thomas L Connelly's 'The Marble Man'. It chronicles the decades long, almost cult-like efforts to diefy Robert E Lee and 'The Lost Cause'. You'll both gain a better understanding of the underlying basis for the local parks naming controversy. A trip to our wonderful, free Memphis Public Library just may open your minds and hearts.
Remember, you have to play with the hand you're dealt. They're holding a pair of 2's and 4's so cut them some slack. Think of them having to star in a Memphis version of 'Mission Maybe Impossible'. I'd like to see alot of those old buildings in the core taken down. The Memphis skyline says look, 1950! Google a photo of Indianapolis. It's impressive. Downtown's north and south ends continue to evolve. This is positive. The core has good space (ballpark, FedEx, Peabody and government), but way too much is vacant with little or no potential to be rehabbed. It may sound draconian and insensitive but at the rate many locals think the only vehicle for radical change maybe a New Madrid earthquake. None the less, I remain the eternal optimist. How long did it take to remove those concrete silos?
Adonis is IN the house......finally! They still have a couple tough games left on the road which for this bunch, at this time in the season, is good. Maybe it's the secret coding on those signs from the bench. How about those Vols today? Even the UT haters have to tip their hats at that 30 point beatdown the Cats suffered today in Knoxville. Cal's remark when asked about reviewing the film was classic. He said it was bad enough the first time so why watch a re-run.
These cowards will not show up. Their announcement did achieve its desired goal, attention from the media. It would do them justice, if they did march, that nobody else showed up, media included.
in response to TruckStop: Well, O.K. But I'm going to need a truckload of Gatorade and Advil. Oh, and maybe a seamstress to sew up my sanity.

T-Stop.....I say to you much like Lady Thatcher said to George Bush I right before Desert Storm...'don't go wobbly us now'! On the lighter side, how can anyone forget the admonition offered by Bluto in Animal House about it being "over" for the Delta's. "Over? Did you say over? Nothing is over until we decide it is!! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Germans? Forget it, he's on a roll". The Muni6 are going to roll with this, trust me.
Good news! Their take-over plan is not viable without the Muni6. Stay the course for independent district formation. Do not waver or backoff. Meet each challenge and do not be afraid to call their bluffs. You know how to handle bullies. Do it! Remember that quote from Apollo 13 that 'failure is not an option'? The stakes are too high. Go Munis!!
This reminded me of the 'incident' at the zoo a couple years ago. Maybe they need to schedule the games right after school and increase administrative presence. It's obvious the coaches have also lost control of their teams. So much about representing your school.
While their intentions may be laudible, the overall track record for these quasi-private/government organizationis is dubious at best. Good luck with yet another alphabet committee.
The other day I was reading a Yahoo story entitled 'South Africa's Big Building Plans Stall'. Memphis came to mind. The author explained that "much of the work takes place at the provincial level, where shortages of skilled public officials is at its most pronounced. Public officials are hampered by bureaucracy, slow approval of projects and inadequate cost, quality and safety controls, according to the governments own self-assessment. Companies are loathe to spends millions of rand tendering for projects that are shelved or given to unqualified competitors. It's because of the enormous time-wasted effort, with no prospect of success due to political interference and corruption. Terry Mackensie-Hoy, head of the Cape Town firm, said." Sound familar?
Hate to use a NASCAR analogy but it's starting to look like they're finding the right 'setup'. The timing looks good too. A tough loss on the upcoming road trip won't upset the apple cart. They're due for a 'nail biter'. With no dominant teams this year the Tigers could make some noise. Free Adonis! He's the catalyst.
Early wagering points to an African-American who will last three years.
The 'cover-up' has begun! Innocent banter? If so, why was the tweet taken down so quickly? Before you do anything else, click on the CollegeDozen.com. We should all have 'family friends' with 24 year old daughters that we can drop an 'ilu' on when we 'connect'. Could we be looking at WienerGate II, an Elvis parody called Horn Dog and will she help in the coming campaign? Inquiring minds what to know. Is this fun or what? We need a respite from the murders, robberies and ongoing race baiting. A good old fashion May/November sex scandal involving an elected official certainly fills that bill. I hope the CA puts a Gen X or Y reporter on this right away. They know the 'ins and outs' and can easily ferret out any patterns which point to potential 'hook-ups'.
Some where out there I hear the voice of Paul Tsongas chanting....PanderBear, PanderBear! Mark down this date. This is the opening move for Cohen's 2014 campaign for re-election. You have to give him credit for 'knowing' his base.
in response to cherylann1414: Being from Wooster Ohio Just a skip and jump from Orrville, I can say that smuckers Is a good company with above average wages, long standing and been around a long time, One to invest in.. so if we have to lose to save , sometimes it makes for better business.. but make them pay it back if they leave, downsize, or close the plant before 20 years, 12 yr break for 20 year investment.

Wooster, Ohio.....Home of the Fighting Scots and alma mater of several in the Smuckers clan. What a moniker!! I'm sure that most of the locals in Memphis do not know that Orrville is the hometown of that famous Buckeye and former IU b-ball coaching great Bobby Knight! Now you know!! Also, Smuckers stays in town. Rumor has it that AC's favorite condiment is Smuckers Sugar Free Strawberry Jam with his tea and crumpets. Remember, he is a full-fledged member of the Santacrat Party.

Anyone who enjoys imbibing now and again will be happy to learn that Hazel's Beverage World [2], a 35,000 square-foot liquor megastore, is set to open on June 29 on Boulder's busy 28th Street. Housing more than 8,000 SKUs of wine, 2,000 choices of beer, and another 2,000 spirits, Hazel's is poised to become Boulder County's largest alcohol retailer, far surpassing long-time favorites such as Liquor Mart [3]and Superior Liquor [4].
Integrity Retail Partners LLC—together with a team of primarily local investors lead by attorney Bruce Dierking and developer Jim Loftus—is behind Hazel's. The project turns the now-defunct Ultimate Electronics [5] into a gourmet market setting for all things alcoholic. (Anyone who has tried to navigate the tricky entrance to the nearby Black Pepper Pho [6] will appreciate the store's improved access off 28th Street, which was accomplished by razing the 30-year-old Wendy's [7] and adding a straight shot to the shopping plaza.)
And, if location is one of the keys to success, Hazel's space across the street from the proposed Trader Joe's [8] (and just around the corner from Boulder's busy Whole Foods Market [9]) is about as smart a move a liquor store could make.
1955 28th St., Boulder, 303-447-1955

main index Narrative
The Silent Age of Hollywood is one of the shorter ones, lasting less than twenty years, yet it would lay the foundation for everything that would follow. It began in 1911, when a number of filmmakers from New York City, seething at the restrictions placed on the industry by Thomas Edison's Motion Picture Patents Company, set out for the small town of Hollywood, California to escape the reach of his lawyers. Hollywood was attractive to these filmmakers for several reasons: its perpetually warm and sunny climate allowing for constant film production with little regard to seasonal shifts in the weather, a relative abundance of cheap labor due to its proximity to Mexico, and a favorable court ruling from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (which covered the West Coast) that restricted Edison's ability to enforce patent law there. Another popular early destination, for many of the same reasons, was Hobe Sound, Florida, which was built up into the motion picture production center of "Picture City" during the Florida land boom in The Roaring Twenties. However, the busting of the Florida real estate bubble in 1926, coupled with the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane, derailed these plans.
As early as 1915, the Los Angeles area had outpaced New York in terms of motion picture output, and by the end of the decade, the United States had claimed the title once held by France and Italy (whose film industries had been devastated by World War I) as the film capital of the world. During the Silent Era, Hollywood's "Big Eight" studios emerged — Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros., RKO Radio Pictures, Fox Film Corporation, Universal Pictures, Columbia Pictures, and United Artists. It was also in this era that the "studio system" and the "star system" began to develop, forming the bedrock of Hollywood until the mid-20th century. More information on these systems can be found in the section on the Golden Age of Hollywood, which is when they reached their zenith.
In this era, film truly began to take off as a form of popular entertainment. The 1915 Epic Movie The Birth of a Nation pioneered a long list of filmmaking techniques and tropes, proved that cinema was commercially viable, and stirred a whole pot of controversy with its heavy-duty Unfortunate Implications (which reportedly horrified its director, D. W. Griffith, who directly criticized racism with his follow-up film). Unfortunately, there was also the case of Mutual Film Corporation v. Industrial Commission of Ohio in 1917 that had the US Supreme Court say that film as a medium was not a legitimate form of speech, but merely a product of a business, which made it open season for censorship for decades until the Supreme Court finally corrected this misjudgment in 1952 in the Miracle Decision.
In the 1920s, Hollywood reached a level of film output that has only been matched since then by Bollywood, with over eight hundred feature films being made per year. Initially, the studios tried to keep their actors anonymous to prevent them from becoming stars and demanding more money with their popularity, but ultimately proved impossible with a moviegoing public too curious to be denied knowing about the players. Notable stars of the silent era included Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Lillian Gish, John Gilbert, Clara Bow and Douglas Fairbanks. The main competition that Hollywood had during this time came from vaudeville, a popular type of theater show consisting of acts by musicians, dancers, comedians, trained animals, magicians and acrobats. During this era, vaudeville had the chief advantage of having sound to back up what was going on on stage, which film didn't. But not for long...
The Silent Age of Hollywood is generally held to have lasted from 1911, with the opening of the first Hollywood studios, to 1927, with the release of The Jazz Singer, the first "talkie."

Parents' Guide
As a parent or guardian, you might have some questions about the Make-A-Wish Foundation. When you refer your child for a wish, you give an experience that lasts an entire life. You give hope, inspiration and the power to keep fighting a very grown-up battle. Your child cannot be referred to the Foundation without your permission.Does a child have to be terminal or dying?
No. The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions. We are not a "last wish" organization, in fact we view a wish as a joyous, magical experience for a child to bring back hope when they need it the most and give them the strength to persevere to fight back against their illness.
Does our financial situation affect whether our child will get a wish?
No, financial circumstances play no role in qualification. Only your child's medical condition is a factor.
Can I refer my child?
Yes you may. Also your child, his/her legal guardian, physician, nurse, social worker or child-life specialist can refer him/her to the Foundation.
Does my child then go on a waiting list?
No, we fulfill wishes on your timetable, not ours. We want the wish experience to be as carefree as possible. You will be visited by trained Make-A-Wish volunteers who will help plan every detail of the wish. We just want you to simply enjoy the experience.
How will this help my child?
Many doctors have told us that a wish is powerful medicine. The doctors provide the medicine and we provide the "magic." Read on to learn what other parents have said about their child's Make-A-Wish experience in the Testimonials Section.
More than 10,000 children have been granted a wish by Make-A-Wish Illinois.

Hi, just after some pics of S3s on 19s, seen warrens RS3 rims and they're nice, have been tempted by the BBS CHRs in black as well. What have you got?
Hi, just after some pics of S3s on 19s, seen warrens RS3 rims and they're nice, have been tempted by the BBS CHRs in black as well. What have you got?

Earth has two 'moons' right now, theorists say
What Should we call it, the 3rd Rock?
"Earth has two moons, a group of scientists argues. One is that waxing and waning nightlight we all know and love. The other is a tiny asteroid, no bigger than a Smart Car, making huge doughnuts around Earth for a while before it zips off into the distance.
That's the scenario posited by the scientists in a paper published Dec. 20 in the planetary science journal Icarus. The researchers say there is a space rock at least 1 meter (3.3 feet) wide orbiting Earth at any given time. They're not always the same rock, but rather an ever-changing cast of "temporary moons.…"

For those "Lightworkers" claiming that humans are sheeple! sorry but you aren't the only one who is illuminated, whatever you claim to be,: starseed, lightworker, angel etc…humans are the exact same thing and came here to do the exact same thing, what was our role? the same role it was thousands of years ago…to assist in the spiritual/physical awakening to the divine awareness within themselves/ourselves. What is a starseed? a starseed is someone who has come here with a mission, someone who volunteered to assist Gaia, someone who is aware of their celestial heritage, someone who comes from the stars…we ALL come from the stars, everyone on this planet who breathes, we were all seeded by material from the stars above and incubated in the womb waters of our precious host mother Gaia..When we look up to the skies and gaze lovingly at the stars above we are in essence gazing at ourselves. Even if we do not see it when we look in the mirror we are shining just as bright as the stars in the night sky because we ARE the stars that shine so bright, every man, woman, child, plant and animal in our world is galactic in nature. We are extraterrestrials to our own planet, our planet herself is also a starseed, everything originates from the starry infinite expanse of the heavens above.

Recommended Reading After This Post: (Enlil-Marduk: The Oppression Of Man) Who Were Enlil And Marduk And What Role Did The Play In The Bible?
Creation, Again?
Let's jump back to Genesis Chapters 1 & 2. This is one of the biggest reasons I had to leave the church, because I could not reconcile the massive problem that two creations pose. In Chapter 1 we have the gods (the Elohim) who created everything, benevolently and equal. It reads in modern versions as simply God, in a masculine form, but references "us" and "our" which isn't something it does in the rest of the Bible.
26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.28 God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (Genesis 1:26-28)…Above you will see how the scripture uses pluralisms to describe this specific process in creation. It then reverts back to a singular form, which is odd. This Genesis 1:26 is very strange in that nowhere else in scripture does God refer to "himself" in the plural. This cannot be a "majestic plural" which appeared in the late 12th century when royalty/clergy would refer to themselves in the plural. Before this, there was no "majestic plural" and never before then did someone refer to themselves in the plural when they were a singular entity, describing themselves. Then Creation occurs again? Although very similar, there are problems with this second creation story.
The Egyptians Left Clues…
I learned to decode the 11:11, 2:22, 3:33, 4:04 etc numbers I keep seeing, I know everyone says it has to do with Angelic messages but to me, personally, I found another meaning, which resonates so much more, and the messages I get are simply amazing. Now that I have decoded them, Ive been seeing them with greater frequency. Note: This is simply MY PERSONAL observation! and may or may not apply to everyone.
To me, and this is just my opinion, I think the dark forces fight having to see themselves, their true selves, its like being in a dark room for so long when you finally go outside during day time it hurts your eyes because its so bright, likewise, these forces have been in and of darkness so long that stepping out in to the light is going to be extremely difficult, its going to burn and hurt them, it has to be done slowly so they can grow accustomed to the brightness of it, eventually they will learn to co-exist in both worlds, but they will resist because it hurts, but they don't realize that it IS going to hurt at first but in time it will cease to hurt and they will get used to it. No one is necessarily good or bad, dark or light, its the actions which are negative or positive, not the beings themselves. We all have the potential to make good or bad choices at any given moment.
The dark ones or rather the negative actions of people and entities, have their roles as well, just as we have ours. But, we have to understand that to go from one polarity to the next is difficult, and requires patience and compassion, but to first learn to forgive and understand the negative actions of others we must first forgive and understand our own, we are not perfect and neither are they, though they may have maybe more imperfections then those who work with positive actions, it's all a matter of perception as well, they may see us just as we see them, for example, a pro-creation person may say that everyone should multiply, there are enough resources in the world to feed everyone, yet this action may be viewed as negative by those who follow the over population theory because they feel that the world is being depleted from resources, but the pro-creationist may believe that, THAT is an act of evil because they may believe that the depletion of planet Earth stems from the corporations who use and abuse them in the first place, truth be told they are both right.
Life should never be forbidden in any form but Gaia is being stretched to her max, that in itself is a whole other perspective, who's to say who's right? when everyone wants to be right, will everyone be wrong! the best we can do is be patient and compassionate and continue doing what we do as lightwarriors and lightworkers, It is sometimes hard for me to understand the dark as well because I live and serve the light but, I do know I have aspects of darkness within me even though I serve the light, its the yin and yang, it's why many don't understand themselves and have strayed, they don't understand that they are the imbalance that creates perfect balance, how can darkness co-exist with light? the answers are in the literal universe, in the comets, asteroids and black holes, such a beautiful universe we have yet so destructive, yet they both are able to co-exist or at least understand each others purpose enough to realize that one perfects the other.
I believe that many live as they do because it was the time of the yin and now its time for the yang! meaning more light with less darkness instead of more darkness with less light. We are certainly in good times now, moving out of ignorance (yin) and in to knowledge, enlightenment, illumination etc (yang), that is how I have always looked at it, the Chinese philosophy has helped me understand and accept the mechanics of life. I believe that when its time to switch from say, yin to yang, that dark forces arrive and make sure it is implemented, then when its time for it to switch from yang to yin, light forces (like us and our star brothers and sisters) arrive to make sure it too is implemented. But, in every polarity there is always a small opposite, in yin there is some yang, in yang there is some yin, always to make sure that the balance is not disrupted. I hope I made sense lol.
Everything is happening as it should, we should be proud of ourselves, we have passed many trials and tribulations, we have ascended even further, we have acknowledged and accepted our missions and have been enacting them quite well. So much is changing at such an alarming rate and as time continues to accelerate so to will the reality of many truths. We feel the sadness of the world and it has and continues to dissipate.
People around the world are all waking up to the truth and it will continue like the domino effect. This is a grand achievement for the simple fact that it tells us that our civilization is ready for higher realities, but this will be in such a way that it will be introduced to us according to what we can handle. For many this will be a slow process, for others it will come on quite suddenly but the first step has begun. More and more old paradigms will come crashing down as we progress further and further in to our own development.
There are still many who don't see the changes. Sometimes we become sad or angry that others close to us or even total strangers aren't seeing the obvious conscious shifting events going on in our world, but rest assured it is happening, whether one, two or a hundred people aren't taking notice at this particular moment. Those who refuse to take notice aren't ready. It is is their own free will, and they are freely entitled to take the slow lane!. They are still beloved children of father/mother God(dess). We all are and will enter the age of Aquarius, our Earth is birthing a new reality and we have begun to open the door of infinite possibility.
It is out with the old and in with the new!, it is time to wash away our old reality, ascend beyond the limits because we are all limitless beings, but we have forgotten who we are, we have lost sight of the amazing powerful beings we really are. Within us all lies the energy of the stars. Our bodies are but vessels, our souls are immortal, we die for a short period of time and are reborn, then we forget, then we begin the journey to find ourselves again, this is done subconsciously until we have reached the time of our awakening. This is the journey of man, It is the realization that living is just not enough, we realize we have an alien but yet very familiar force within.
At the time of our awakening we begin a constant search to advance and understand ourselves and what is going on within, we begin to have a flooding of knowledge that we within know has not been obtained by the usual means. No, this knowledge is much greater, much more profound, we have dreams, visions, a flooding of information psychically received as we awaken, and this is our souls remembering once again our souls journey and everything we have gathered from past lives. We do not need any gimmicks or tools to awaken to our true celestial nature, the soul awakens on its own as it was meant to.
Sometimes we don't want to accept this reality, we fight with our own ego, our own indoctrination, we ignore the force within but once awakened our bodies react and we begin to crave knowledge, a more physical and spiritual well being and a way to emulate the light growing within. We remember our spiritual immortality, our souls journey, we remember that the only purpose we have is to create the same heaven on Earth that we have growing within.

5 Deals the Cleveland Cavaliers Could Construct Around Anderson Varejao
By Jay Wierenga ,
Should the Cleveland Cavaliers trade Anderson Varejao?
Fans in Ohio have been debating this very thing for the last couple years.
On the one hand, Varejao has been a tremendous asset for the Cavs. He is big and athletic and plays with passion.
On the other hand, he has had injury issues, is fast approaching his inevitable decline and has a big salary on a team that is far from contention.
Thus far this season, Varejao has done his part, leading the team in rebounds with an astounding 13.7 to go along with the second most points on the team (15.9).
He is the type of player whom contending teams will covet come the trade deadline, and someone that should bring back a pretty penny should the Cavs choose to pull the trigger.
Cavs trade Varejao to Bucks for Sanders, Tobias Harris and Drew Gooden
The Bucks have made some moves that put them on the verge of contention in a weak Central Division. They have a few guys who are in their prime and are in need of veteran leadership on the front line. They also need some defensive toughness down low, especially when it comes to rebounds.
Varejao would immediately make the Bucks a contending team. They would finally have a stud offensive rebounder and fantastic low-post defender. They also would have a veteran who is great at setting picks for a couple of excellent backcourt scorers.
For the Cavs, this gives them some young talent. Sanders is a solid scorer and rebounder who makes this team even younger and pairs well with Tristan Thompson.
Harris is a promising small forward, a position of desperate need for Cleveland.
Gooden is basically a throw-in to make the salaries match but would be a nice veteran to help usher in the young guys.
Cavs trade Varejao and Daniel Gibson to Hawks for Josh Smith
The Cavs are looking to bolster their small forward position, and Smith could be a game-changer. He can score, is an elite defender and can grab rebounds like few guys his size.
The Hawks are looking to change their culture, and it starts with Smith. For too long he has been the face of his hometown squad, and it is time for the two sides to part.
He also has an expiring deal, which could be the only hiccup in this deal. The Cavs would need to know that Smith was looking to re-sign with them after the year or else this would be a waste.
Cavs trade Varejao to Clippers for Jordan
The Clippers are in serious win-now mode. They have a largely veteran team that is looking to ride the last few years of Chris Paul's prime for a long playoff run.
The Cavs are looking to get younger and more athletic. Jordan would provide that.
So the obvious question for Clippers fans would be: "Why would L.A. want to trade a young guy who does what Varejao does for Cleveland?"
Varejao is much more polished and consistent than Jordan. He also is more physical and has a higher motor.
Varejao is built for a contending team. Jordan is built for a young team. This is a perfect marriage.
Note: Jordan would need to waive his no-trade clause to complete this trade.
Cavs trade Varejao to Charlotte for Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and DeSagana Diop
It can be argued that the best trades result when both teams leave the bargaining table unhappy. Should this trade go down, that would certainly be the case.
So why exactly would Charlotte deal this year's second overall pick?
An argument could be made that Charlotte didn't want Kidd-Gilchrist in the first place. They had just traded for Ben Gordon, so they really didn't need a shooting guard like Bradley Beal or Dion Waiters.
They also didn't want to reach on a presumed project like Andre Drummond even though they needed a big man more than a swingman.
As good as Kidd-Gilchrist has looked so far and as good as he could eventually become, swingmen are way more common an occurrence than athletic near-seven footers who play with a high motor.
But Kidd-Gilchrist gives the Cavs a smart, high-motor small forward who plays great defense and gets to the hoop. Varejao gives Charlotte a reliable post player who can anchor their defense. Diop is a throw-in to make the salaries line up.
Cavs trade Varejao to Utah for Paul Millsap and Derrick Favors
On its face, this trade seems to be lopsided in Cleveland's favor. Both Millsap and Favors are having good seasons and are still young.
But Millsap has an expiring contract, and Favors is just now starting to live up to his high draft status.
This deal gives Cleveland options. They can try to re-sign Millsap and build a somewhat smallish frontcourt around him. Or, they can try to deal Millsap again for a draft pick or two to a contender before the trade deadline.
Worst-case scenario, they let his deal expire and use that money for a free agent swingman.
Favors gives the Cavs a shot-blocking athletic big man. If he continues to progress, he would make a nice pairing with Tristan Thompson and would form a scary defensive frontcourt.
Varejao instantly turns Utah into one of the best frontcourts in the league. With Al Jefferson scoring down low and Varejao providing defense and rebounding, Utah would immediately see a higher playoff seed come into focus.
Utah really needs to bolster their backcourt, but the Cavs don't have anyone who fits the bill for Utah.

Cards beat Cubs 7-0, clinch Central Division
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals clinched their first NL Central title in four years, beating the Chicago Cubs 7-0 Friday night behind the strong pitching of Lance Lynn and home runs by David Freese and Matt Holliday.
St. Louis (95-65) has won six of seven and is tied with Atlanta for the best record in the NL. They are assured of home-field advantage when the NL division series starts Thursday.
Adam Wainwright (18-9) was moved up to start Saturday, putting the St. Louis ace on track to start his team's postseason opener against Cincinnati, Pittsburgh or the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Cardinals' bullpen can't get the job done in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Erik Kratz hit a three-run home run to break the game open in the eighth inning and lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night.
Mike Adams (1-1) tossed a scoreless eighth inning to help the Phillies split the four-game series. The Phillies snapped a 3-3 tie with a four-run eighth that put the game away.
Michael Young extended his hitting streak to 12 games with an infield single off reliever Mitchell Boggs (0-2). Dom Brown singled to put runners on the corners with one out. Ben Revere made it 4-3 on a go-ahead single up the middle.
Kratz then hit the first pitch deep into the left-field seats for a three-run homer and a 7-3 lead.

Hi..I don't think I burned many calories on my Christmas baking marathon but at least I didn't burn any cookies!! haha!! The new stove works great and I got so much done! I made 14 different things..3 kinds of shortbread, poppy cock, fruit roll, toffee corn flakes, chocolate fudge with crushed candy canes on top, truffles, chipit noel crisps, cherry pecan cookies, peanut butter blossoms, that slice that has melted butterscotch chips, peanut butter and colored mini marshmallows..I call Auntie Bea's slice..after my Auntie, also the dough for sugar cookies and gingerbread men is chilling in the fridge for tomorrow. I have a few more things to bake..about 6 more and I'll be done :) Instead of tea I'm having some water since I'm really thirsty..we went out for supper tonight and I had some french fries that were salty. We went in to town this afternoon to pick up some mini blinds for the living room and bathroom..they look really nice!! I asked hubby to go out for supper since I was pretty sick of the kitchen and cleaning up..a marathon baking is followed by a marathon clean up :) If any one wants the recipes for any of my Christmas favorites just let me know and I'll post them on my blog..What are some of your favorite Christmas goodies? I'm always looking for new, yummy things. I have a couple new recipes to try gingerbread spritz and mint chocolate chip cookies :) The treats yet to make are swedish tea ring for Christmas morning, maple pecan fudge, tarts..butter and pecan, and swedish raspberry delights! I have special containers for each kind of treat and I'll also give a lot of them away..2 close friends are getting gift boxes filled with baking ..they are both working off the farm and one has a special needs son (her daughter also found out she's having triplets!! in March and she has 2 kids already!) I also want to make up a baking gift box for a slo-pitch team friend whose mother and sister have both just been diagnosed with cancer. I'll also give lots to my kids!!! And we'll have treats to last until spring :) especially since I won't be eating many myself... I'm too pooped to drag out my Christmas tree tonight..the couch and lap top were calling out to me , so here I sit..tomorrow is another day :) I should go enter my food on my tracker and then head to bed..Keep on Sparkin' and hope your Christmas preparations are coming along like mine :) Happy Holidays.. ..Love Donna
Hi..home from Weyburn where I pretty much finished up Christmas shopping and bought most of the remaining groceries for our Christmas feast on the 18th!! I also found yummy new tea..Chocolatey Mint!!! I'm relaxing with a pot right now, I also made extra for hubby :) Before we left I shampooed the living room furniture so it was all clean and dry when I got home :) Hubby had an appointment so we left around 8:30 a.m. Then we had lunch with the in-laws. Saw lots of friends so spent lots of time visiting :) When we got home hubby checked the herd and moved them home..they're pretty well done fall grazing on the fields so now they'll be on the swath grazing for a month or more. While over there he stopped to visit at the oil rig and they are finished drilling and will set the rig down tonight and move out Saturday, next comes the service rig to see if it's a producer... While he was gone I made supper..frozen meatballs in sweet and sour sauce and brown rice..I had a bit but mostly a spinach salad since we had lunch at KFC!! Then I put away the shopping and sorted gifts into gift bags and put the "stocking stuffers" into $ store cloth bags since no one will be here Christmas morning!! I found some really cute decorations..just what I don't need is more Christmas decorations...but I bought 2 anyway..a little stuffed cowboy santa in a cowboy boot stocking that was $4.50 then 20% off, also a cute tin wreath with a snowman on it for the front door...which was quite cheap too and 20% off, too. I did a bit of decorating, tomorrow we'll run to town and pick up some mini blinds I ordered for the living room..then I can put up my tree..I put it in front of the window. Actually I cheat and when I put it away I wrapped it in a sheet and shoved it in the spare room's closet!!! So I just have to drag it out and fluff it up a bit. After supper I was relaxing with a couple of new magazines I got..one of my many guilty pleasures..at least it's a non calorie one :) except for all the yummy Christmas baking ideas. I hope to start my Christmas baking tomorrow..should be able to get most of it done in a couple of days :) Then I'll have a variety of cookies to take to my daughter's on the weekend. It'll be fun using my new stove :) Thanks to everyone who's been stopping by for tea and a chat..also for the compliments on my living room painting..I'll post some more pictures when I get it decorated :) I hope your December is going as planned..my goals are coming along nicely..weight is holding steady, my goal is to be down 2 pounds by the end of December so it's just mostly to maintain!! I have hardly had any time to ride my bike tho...that might be more of a January thing!! It just occurred to me if we have all these people come at once for the 18th I will have to use the inflatable camping mattress for some of them!! We have a tiny house, not too bad for the 2 of us, and even for when we had 3 kids at home..but now they're all bringing significant other's and oldest daughter has 2 kids!! That's 8 extra people to find room for!! Quite a few years ago my oldest sister and her husband and 6 of her 7 kids and one fianc� came and stayed the week between Christmas and New Year's. The funnest part was one bathroom!! Hubby's best idea was to close the door and start a line!! haha!! Well, I really should finish up my tea and this blog and head to bed...have a great day tomorrow..and keep on Sparkin' Love Donna!!
Hi..I posted some pictures of my living room paint. I also shampooed the area rugs..so they look like new :) I'm going to shampoo the couch and love seat tomorrow morning before we leave for Weyburn..then they will be dry when we get home. Hubby finally got the tractor towed to town to be fixed. He got the tow bar yesterday and it was too icy in the yard so we had to pull the truck with another tractor..I bet that looked funny ..a tractor pulling a truck pulling a tractor! Then \i went ahead out of the yard and up the big hill with the tractor first in case the truck couldn't make it up the hill..which it didn't so I had to back the tractor down the hill to pull again.. I set up all the books in the family room..man I didn't know I had so many books..I hate to get rid of any unless I don't plan to refer to them or read them again. (did I mention I'm quite a hoarder?) I put up the ribbons on the doors for Christmas cards, so far I've just slipped them through the ribbons..looks nice. I picked burgundy ribbon since most of my living room Christmas decorations are burgundy. We tried the deer steaks tonight..not too bad, I did them with saut�ed onions and put BBQ sauce on them. We might have only Christmas on the 18th instead of both days if my oldest daughter can bring her youngest daughter down!! It's also my little granddaughter's 6 birthday on December 12 so we are going up for her party!!! Well I finished my pot of peppermint tea, so I should finish this up and head to bed. We have to leave quite early tomorrow.. Thursday I want to finish up the house stuff and start baking.. Have a great evening and keep on Sparkin'.. Love Donna
Before... and after... I'm quite happy with the new color..now I can finish shampooing and start decorating!!! The family room is coming along but it needs its second caot on some walls :) We're off to Weyburn tomorrow so I'll finish up the family room on Thursday!! I'm just doing supper dishes so I'll have my tea and write another blog later!! Love Donna Happy Holidays!!!
Hi..I'm making a pot of warmth cinnamon spice tea...and relaxing after a busy day of painting..the livingroom is almost finished and put back together..hubby helped put together some bookcases for the family room so I can move some books to there..I have way too many books!!!! It's been very cold here..and had fog last night so the trees were beautiful today covered with frost!! I helped hubby check the herd and chop a water hole..we visited with the new water hauler for the oil rig. After lunch a neighbor came over for coffee and pick up the Christmas cards I bought for his Mom. Hubby fed some bales while I worked on the livingroom some more..then he went to town for a tow bar..to tow the broken tractor to town tomorrow and he got the mail too. We got another Christmas card in the mail..that makes 3 so far..I send over 50 but never get that many back..just like to keep in touch!! My new plan to display the cards this year is to put ribbon around the 2 doors in the living room like a parcel and then attach the cards to the ribbon..I used to tape them on the wall around the mirror but don't want to use tape on my new paint job.I'm using tacks to attach the ribbon to the top. bottom and sides of the doors..now to figure out how to attach the cards to the ribbon..tape, pins. fun tac? any ideas? A friend and I like to go carolling every Christmas at the seniors home..I used to work there as a cook, she still works there as a care aid. We usually have a good time. and the residents really like it!! We'll plan on an afternoon after one of her day shifts so she doesn't have to come to town twice. Something I always have up at Christmas is an advent wreath..my parents always had one and growing up we used to say the whole rosary every evening. now I just light the candles on Sunday nights... I hope you will share some of your favorite Christmas ideas, traditions or any thing Christmasy...I have a huge collection of Christmas books and magazines. I love to read books and get ideas. My favorite Christmas gift I ever got was a huge doll house that my Grandpa built for my sister and me. It was for Barbie's and was 2 stories high plus an attic and each story had 3 rooms.He made furniture , too. Quite a special gift that was!! Well I'm almost finished my tea and it's time for Jay Leno's headlines, so I should go for now..take care..keep on Sparkin'.. ..Love Donna Why is it always cold at Christmas? Because it's in Decembrrrrrr.....
