If school is canceled on this day, registration will be moved to Friday, Jan. 31.
Registration paperwork will be at the elementary school in the district in which you reside. Children who will be 5 years old on or before Oct. 1, 2014 should register for kindergarten classes.

Members of the Marion County Veterans Honor Guard have served their country in times of war and times of peace. Today, they honor their fellow veterans by leading military funeral rites throughout Central Kentucky — no matter the weather. In the midst of last week's bitter cold, the honor guard was on hand for Jan. 6 services at Lebanon National Cemetery. According to weather.com, the temperature was 0 degree Fahrenheit with a wind chill that made it feel like -20 degrees that afternoon.
The 2014 Kentucky Bluegrass Music Kickoff could be a pretty "lonesome" affair. Flatt Lonesome will be making a return appearance at the festival this year, and the Lonesome River Band is the headliner for this year's dinner show. "For the quality of this show, you have to go to Branson [Mo.] or Pigeon Forge [Tenn.] to see anything close to this," said Brad Lanham, president of the Kentucky Fellowship of Musicians.
Marion County Superintendent Taylora Schlosser announced Friday that Marion County High School Assistant Principal Christina McRay will act as an interim principal at Lebanon Middle School for the remainder of the school year.

Suntory, a giant in Japan's spirits and beverage industry, has reached an agreement with Beam, the maker of Jim Beam and Maker's Mark bourbons, to purchase the iconic Kentucky brands. The deal is said to be worth more than $13 billion. Suntory already had an agreement with Beam for distribution of each other's products in overseas markets.
Lawrence W. Inman, 32, of 503 Salt Well Road in Shepherdsville was sentenced to 12 years in prison in Marion Circuit Court recently for second-degree robbery and impersonating a police officer. Inman was indicted for first-degree robbery and impersonating a police officer related to a home invasion that occurred Jan. 1, 2013.
The City of Lebanon would like to remind residents that a city ordinance requires address numbers to be posted on all dwellings, businesses and homes within city limits. Numbers should be at least four inches tall and posted so they are easily visible from the street. John Thompson, the city's building inspector, said the city wants to remind residents that the law is in place to meet requirements to implement enhanced 911. He said residents have until April 1 to post the numbers.
Last week's single-digit temperatures not only caused school to be cancelled in Marion and surrounding counties, but also contributed to several heating-related issues at multiple Marion County Public Schools.
The word "interesting" means different things to different people. It could describe someone with a fascinating personality or career. It might refer to someone who has done something remarkable, exciting or out of the ordinary. No matter what definition you use, we're pretty sure you know someone (or maybe even multiple people) that you would call interesting for one reason or another. And we'd like to meet him or her (or them) — especially if it's someone who has never been featured in the paper.

Last year when I attended IMATS, I found a good deal on a beautyblender set that included both the beautyblender and the blendercleanser for $30 CAD flat (no tax).
Normally, the beautyblender alone costs $26 CAD plus tax, so I gave into the temptation and bought it. (This was waaay before I heard about inexpensive dupes of this makeup sponge.)
Lots of makeup artists and beauty enthusiasts recommend the beautyblender, and it has won Allure's Best of Beauty Award around 5 times!
I had been curious to try it for a long time with liquid foundation, even though you can use it with blush, bronzer, and pressed powder.
For powdered products, I like using a brush, so for this review, I just tested it on liquids like foundations, concealers, and BB creams.
So, did it live up to the hype for me?

I've been travelin' down the country ever since I can remember
And the people that I meet just suit me fine
But anywhere you see me going chances are that I've done been there
So when I need a little peace of mind
I go home home where the mockingbirds are singin' a pretty melody
Home home where nothing short of heaven's waiting there for me

Picture the morning sun a white rail fence and watch the meadow glisten
There's a newborn baby calf down in the barn
Have you morning cup of coffee in the country air oh listen
It's a hundred million miles away from harm
I go home...
Where nothing short of heaven's waiting there for me

When the Tennessee Titans meet with the agent for cornerback Cortland Finnegan this weekend at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Terry Watson is hoping the Titans show something in terms of money.
Watson said the Titans have not countered a proposal he made to them in August, one believed to be in the ballpark of a $50 million package, which came on the heels of an offer made by then general manager Mike Reinfeldt of $7 million a year over four years.
"I can't negotiate with myself," Watson said of the talks. "The Titans are going to to put some numbers together in a counter proposal."
The Titans and Watson are scheduled to talk either Friday or Saturday in Indianapolis with Titans general manager Ruston Webster and contract negotiator Vin Marino, after the Titans called Watson late last week but did not make any proposal, only saying they wished to talk at the Combine.
The Titans could use the franchise tag on Finnegan, but a league source tells TitanInsider that Tennessee may be more likely to franchise safety Michael Griffin at $6.2 million than Finnegan at $10.6 million – if they franchise any player at all.
As previously reported by TitanInsider, Finnegan is believed to be looking for a contract extension that would pay him somewhere around $9.5 million on the low end with a high end of perhaps in the $10.5-$11 million range per season.
If Finnegan gets to the open market, the Detroit Lions, St. Louis Rams and perhaps the Dallas Cowboys are expected to be among the teams to make a serious run at him.

On Tuesday, January 11th, City Council will vote on whether or not to buy property downtown for a new parking deck.
Frequently Asked Question:
Q: How can a parking lot be worth less than one million dollars and more than five million dollars, both at the same time?
A: It's worth under a million dollars when the owner is paying taxes. When he's selling it to the city, it's suddenly worth a whole lot more.
The parking lot at 51 Biltmore Avenue across from the double decker bus is owned by Public Interest Projects. The Tax Assessor says it's worth $870,000.
But when PIP sells it to the City for a parking deck, they claim it's worth more than $5,000,000.
If boondoggles were simple, everybody could see through them. When a deal is complex enough, folks have a hard time following it.
Here's an attempt to sort this one out:
Asheville will pay Public Interest Projects $3.11 million for part of the parking lot, but not the air rights, not the portion that fronts on Lexington Avenue, and not the portion that fronts on Biltmore, all of which will remain with Public Interest Projects;
Asheville will pay Cascade Mountain Properties $1.45 million for the Hot Dog King property, but again not the whole thing. The valuable part, the frontage along Biltmore Avenue, and the frontage along Lexington Avenue, goes to Public Interest Projects.
Asheville will get a hole in the ground where it will build a parking deck, a structure that has to be strong enough to support a six story hotel on top of it.
McKibbon Hotels will pay Public Interest Projects $1.78 million for the air rights, and build a hotel on top of the City parking deck;
Tens of thousands of dollars worth City staff time has been taken up by the proposal. We have already paid at least $180,000 on options on the properties (that is, we have been paying the Hot Dog King $10,000 per month for the last two years!), and the City has spent $472,000 on appraisals, project management and design for the proposed deck.
Not in the public interest
Public Interest Projects is private, not public. It's a private, for-profit, development corporation that does not operate in the public interest. Many people think it's a non-profit when they hear its name, but Public Interest Projects is nothing more than a developer with a misleading name.
Who gets what?
Public Interest Projects
PIP would receive $4.89 million in cash, plus the valuable storefronts on Biltmore Avenue and Lexington Avenue, all in exchange for a parking lot that's listed on the tax roles as being worth $870,000. Note that PIP is keeping all of the valuable frontage from which it stands to make million more.
Cascade Mountain Properties
Cascade would receive $1.45 million for a property that's listed on the tax roles at $778,800.
McKibbon Hotels
McKibbon would receive a sturdy, five story base for its hotel, making their whole hotel, even the lower floors, a high-rise.
Nearby downtown businesses
They would get 200 or so new parking spaces for their customers.
The City of Asheville
The City would get the bill, which comes to about $14.8 million.
Where does the money come from?
Asheville has just paid off all the bonds on the parking decks that we already have, so the revenue stream from them is now available for public transportation purposes.
Council could choose to spend this money on many things -- on parking, on new streets, on mass transit, bike lanes, greenways, or on sidewalks.
Instead, if this plan is adopted, all the money from all the decks and all the meters in town will be spent, for the next ten years, on this one project, and some of the money, in a decreasing percentage, for fifteen years after that.
The Environment
The least environmentally friendly way to spend this money is on bringing more automobiles into the city. Adding more cars downtown just adds pollution, noise, and gridlock. Spending this money on parking is the worst choice for our environment.
If we spend that $14.8 million on sidewalks instead of parking decks, Asheville would soon have the sidewalks we so desperately need.
East Asheville needs sidewalks. The veterans walking on Tunnel Road would have sidewalks to get from the Vets Quarters to the VA Hospital. Children could visit a friend a few houses over without risking their lives walking in the streets.
A safety issue for veterans and kids versus the interests of the corporations sounds like an easy call to us.
Do we need more parking downtown?
Maybe, but there's already a lot of parking downtown and nearby.
Look at our periodic fireworks displays. Thousands of residents crowd Pack Square. They just park a few blocks away, and walk over.
Which means that it must be tourists who need a parking deck, not residents.
But City Council is supposed to make the best decisions for ALL of Asheville, not just for the developers and the tourist interests.
Not much parking
We're not even getting much parking for our money.
The deck can't ever expand because there's a hotel on top of it. It's slated to have about 412 parking spaces.
But we're not gaining 412 spaces. The project will occupy 100 parking spaces that exist now, and the hotel will use up another 88 or so, leaving a net gain of just 212 spaces – for a whopping $14.8 million.
Can we afford this? Is this a wise use of our City tax dollars?
Several of our City Council members were elected in part because they said they were hard-headed busness owners who would make wise financial decisions.
This is a great deal for the businesses involved, but not for Asheville. Ask council if they would want a business that they owned to make this same decision!
What happens next?
Next Tuesday, January 11th, City Council will have a public hearing on this project.
This is the time for the public to weigh in. The meeting is in the City Building at 5PM so please attend if you can.
Not many folks would pass up a chance to sell a million dollar lot for five million dollars, so we can't really blame the developer.
It's our City Council who is responsible to see that this doesn't happen.
It's our City Council that we elected to see to our interests, regardless of how often or how well the developers lobby them.

Dos Equis Lager Especial Reviews
Description:Type: Lager / Lager, 3.5 percent Alcohol. Brewed in Mexico since 1983.
Newest Review: ... free and came in a bottomless glass :D Now, the first day we went for lunch (mexican, naturally!) I fancied a lager with mine ... more
by - written on 27/05/09 (Very useful, 63 readings)
This lager will forever have a special place in my heart (and my stomach!). I'd never heard of it until I went to Mexico on holiday....it is EVERYWHERE there. On every billboard by the road, on lorries, bars, everywhere you look is that huge double X logo. And best of all, it was on tap at our all inclusive hotel, which meant it was free and came in a bottomless glass :D Now, the first day we went for lunch (mexican, naturally!) I fancied a lager with mine and asked what was available. To be honest, i was rather hoping for Corona, that being the only Mexican lager i was familiar with then. The name meant nothing to me, so i just nodded and crossed my finger that it ... Read the complete review

The album didn't enjoy the same phenomenal sales as their debut, but still performed well on the charts. In 1998, after the band released the album Musical Chairs, Rucker began focusing on a solo career. After a year-long delay on the album's release, due to contractual issues with Atlantic, Rucker released his mellow R&B record, Back to Then, on the Hidden Beach Recordings label in 2002.
Solo Success
Rucker continued to tour and perform with Hootie & The Blowfish while working on his sophomore solo effort, a country album called Learn to Live. The album's first single, "Don't Think I Don't Think About It" jumped to to Top 20 on the Billboard charts in July of 2008, making Rucker the first African-American singer to reach the top of the country charts since Charley Pride in 1988. Rucker's newfound fame in the country realm also earned him an invitation to the Grand Ole Opry later that year, and his performance earned a standing ovation.
Rucker's single eventually hit No. 1 on the country charts, and the album received platinum status in 2009. The album's next two singles "It Won't Be Like This For Long" and "Alright" also hit No. 1 on the charts, making Rucker the first country music singer to have his first three singles reach No. 1 since Wynona Judd in 1992. Rucker's album also gained the attention of critics, and earned him two Country Music Association award nominations in 2009, including Male Vocalist of the Year. He has also been tapped to perform at the ceremony.
In his private life, Rucker enjoys football, and hanging out with close friends Brad Paisley and Tiger Woods. He married long-time girlfriend Beth Leonard in 2000. The couple resides in Charleston, South Carolina, with their two children. Rucker also has a child with a former girlfriend—the same woman who is the subject of his song "Let Her Cry."

OMG !!! David you hit this one out of the ballpark!! Excellent and very easy to prepare. Of course, I wasn't able top prepare this on the beach, like you did.. so I did make cup of salt water solution and add it to my mussels. The broth and a ciabatta loaf , mussels and a glass of good wine... very romantic evening after 35 years.....Thank You....

I like David Rocco's show and I love mussels but I did not care too much for this recipe. The Red Vinegar amount was way too pungent.
If I was to do this again, I would use cooking sherry instead of white wine, maybe mine was not sweet enought but no vinegar but instead some squeezed lemon and some beer. Roasted garlic instead of crushed and basil with a couple stewed tomatoes instead of parsley.

Program Officer:
Dr. Amy Sussman
(202) 219-2126
The Institute has established the Research Training Program in Special Education: Early Career Development and Mentoring competition to address the need to support new investigators in special education and early intervention during their first years in institutions of higher education. To develop and maintain a strong cadre of researchers interested in addressing the needs of infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities, and their families and teachers, it is essential to provide a structure to assist new investigators in developing their own line of independent research. The Early Career Development and Mentoring Program is designed to fill these needs by providing new investigators support to further develop methodological, content, and grant writing expertise needed to develop a strong line of research that includes federal funding. An important aspect of this program is the requirement that the research and training be guided closely by a scientist experienced in the study of infants, toddlers, children, or youth with or at risk for disabilities, and/or their families or teachers. The program intends to provide new investigators with protected time in their faculty positions during which they can concentrate more intensively on developing research skills and their program of research.

Special Report

White House spokesman Jay Carney stated openly Wednesday, March 5, that US intelligence services and military had worked with Israel to track the Iranian Panama-flagged ship KLOS C, which was apprehended by Israeli naval commandos on the Red Sea earlier that day, carrying missiles for Gaza via Sudan. debkafile: This was the first time in four years that the US and Israel collaborated in an operation against Iran - ever since the Stuxnet virus attack in 2010 on Iran's nuclear facilities. Both are braced for a swift and stinging Iranian reprisal.

Mahmoud Abbas is maneuvering for a deal with Hamas to gain control of Gaza's borders and send Kerry and his framework accord back to the drawing board.
Exclusive Analysis
February 1, 2014, 1:58 PM (GMT+02:00)
Eilat come under missile attack from Sinai every few days, like Gaza's Israeli neighbors - harmlessly thus far. But the Red Sea tourist resort is paying for Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yaalon's short-sighted policy of security and intelligence cooperation with Egypt's Gen. Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi. Direct action against Gaza and Sinai terror has passed into Egyptian hands. This gap in Israel's security has been seized on by the Islamist Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis terrorists to take the country hostage against El-Sisi's counter-terror offensive.
Exclusive Report
December 26, 2013, 11:11 AM (GMT+02:00)
The newest Palestinian terrorist weapon is an Iranian copy of the Austrian single-shot Steyr 50 caliber assassin's rifle. It was used by a trained sniper to murder Saleh Abu-Tayyel Tuesday on Dec. 24. The marksman belonged to the Hamas-commanded Popular Resistance Committees. He was assisted by a Jihad Islami scout who helped him position the 12.5 kilo, 1.37 m long rifle. IDF Master Sgt. Gal Koby, who was killed on Sept. 22 by a single shot in Hebron, may too have been the victim of a Palestinian sniper using a Steyr 50.
Exclusive Report
December 25, 2013, 5:00 PM (GMT+02:00)
Surrendering to Palestinian opposition, Secretary of State John Kerry has stepped back from the US security plan for Israeli troops to guard the Jordan Valley border - in favor of US forces, debkafile reports: The Palestinians won't grant Israeli West Bank corridors for access to the Jordan Valley. The US agrees to an express train link between the West Bank and Gaza under Palestinian control across the Israeli Negev - with no access to Israeli monitors. Still, Israel's response to Palestinian terrorism remains low key to avoid upsetting the talks.
Exclusive Report
December 24, 2013, 4:24 PM (GMT+02:00)
The Palestinian sniper who Tuesday, Dec. 24, shot dead an Israeli civilian from Gaza sent Israeli leaders into an agony of indecision over how to fight back against surging Palestinian terrorism without derailing US-sponsored Middle East peace talks. That afternoon, Israeli warplanes struck a Hamas base in Gaza, fairly mild punishment. Binyamin Netanyahu had hoped that by holding back, he could bring the talks to a successful conclusion. But he was wrong. The Palestinians ran off with the initiative of a new terrorist command center in Gaza and Istanbul.
Exclusive Report
November 28, 2013, 11:54 PM (GMT+02:00)
Abbas has gone behind US and Israeli backs to set up a mass transfer of Palestinian refugees from Syria to the Gaza Strip in fulfillment of his demand to accept the Palestinian refugees' "rights" to return to their homes in pre-1948 Israel.
Exclusive Analysis
October 20, 2013, 9:25 AM (GMT+02:00)
In less than a month, Palestinians have committed six acts of terror against Israeli soldiers and civilians and launched a new terror conspiracy against the Israeli population bordering the Gaza Strip. Two soldiers and a reserve colonel were murdered. Yet Israeli spokesmen deny evidence of a "connecting thread" or "a common factor." debkafile: Hamas is highly visible as one common factor, especially after Ismail Haniya, Gaza prime minister, called on Oct. 19 for a Third Intifada. Instead of denial, the IDF needs to nip this peril in the bud.
Special Report
September 3, 2013, 1:04 PM (GMT+02:00)
Egyptian Air Force helicopter gun-ships surprised Salafist and Palestinian terrorists Tuesday, Sept. 3, with 13 rockets fired into two gatherings at Al-Muataa and Touma, south of the town of Sheikh Zuweid near the northern Sinai border with the Gaza Strip. Egyptian security officials reported "dozens" killed and wounded. debkafile: Egyptian forces are carving out two security zones for blocking the transit of Hamas and Jihad Islami gunmen between Sinai and the Gaza Strip. The Apaches struck the Salafists and Palestinians rioting against this operation.
Exclusive Report
August 11, 2013, 6:27 PM (GMT+02:00)
On July 22, debkafile revealed the escape to Gaza of six Muslim Brotherhood officials after Morsi's ouster. Headed by Mahmud Izzat Ibrahim, they set up a command center at the Gaza Beach Hotel for an uprising against the military. It now transpires that after their election, the Brothers never dismantled their paramilitary underground and Ibrahim was the "Mr. X" who manipulated their front politicians and Supreme Guide. The Egyptian army and Israel can help each other destroy this center of resistance and beat off jihadi terror from Sinai and Gaza.
Exclusive Report

Six Muslim Brotherhood officials have escaped from Egypt and arrived in the Gaza Strip to lead the movement's uprising against the military, debkafile discloses exclusively. Headed by Mahmud Izzat Ibrahim, a Supreme Guide deputy known as the MB's 'iron man," the group has set up a command post at the Gaza Beach Hotel and is working in close conjunction with Hamas and armed Al Qaeda-linked Salafist Bedouin in Sinai. The Egyptian army may be planning to raid the hotel and bring the MB escapees to trial in Cairo.

After months of relative calm, the pro-Iran Palestinian Jihad Islami fired 6 Grad missiles at Beersheba and Ashkelon from the Gaza Strip before dawn Monday. There were no casualties. debkafile: The attack came after Hamas special forces liquidated Jihad's missile commander Sunday, June 23, amid a violent feud over Jihad's opposition to the ceasefire accepted by Hamas after Israel's Defensive Cloud operation last November. Two of the four Grads aimed at Ashkelon were intercepted by Iron Dome. The Israeli air force hit back.

June 6, 2013, 11:28 AM (GMT+02:00)
Assad's al Qusayr victory Wednesday, June 6, presented the US, Israel and the Western alliance with a major strategic debacle. They paid the price of leaving the Syrian-Hizballah military machine orchestrated by Iranian officers a clear field. This machine is ready to trample Aleppo and southern Syria. Israel is next in its sights.

In case of a follow-up attack, Eilat's bomb shelters wee opened after five long-range Grad missiles were aimed from Sinai at the city Wednesday, April 17. The attack was claimed by an al Qaeda-linked Salafist group operating in Sinai and the Gaza Strip – the Shura Council of Jihad fighters of Jerusalem. It was not intercepted by Iron Dome. Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon updated Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu – who is in London for the Margaret Thatcher funeral – and discussed with him how Israel should respond.

Open De Tenis Comunidad Valenciana
Monaco, Gonzalez Capture First ATP Title Together
Valencia, Spain
by ATP Staff
Argentines Juan Monaco and Maximo Gonzalez defeated American Travis Parrott and Slovak Republic native Filip Polasek 7-5, 7-5, on Saturday in the final of the Open de Tenis Comunidad Valenciana.
Monaco and Gonzalez, who were finalists in Vina del Mar (l. to Acasuso-Prieto) in February, were appearing in their second ATP final. Gonzalez earned his first career ATP title and Monaco his second with the other coming in Auckland (w/Horna) in January.
Parrott and Polasek were playing together for the first time in an ATP tournament but last month they won back-to-back Challenger titles in Mexico (San Luis Potosi and Leon). Parrott was appearing in his fifth career ATP final (3-2) and Polasek was making his ATP final debut.
"I'm extremely happy for my first ATP title, but as Pico (Monaco) said, even happier for the fact that I've won it with him," said Gonzalez. "In Vina del Mar, we were playing the final and Pico had to retire after twisting his ankle. So I'm happy we had the opportunity to play again together and win the final this time."
Monaco added,"I'm very happy with my second doubles title of the season. To win this title with my good friend Maximo makes it even more special. We have known each other since we were five years old and have been very good friends ever since."

TOMS RIVER - Ocean County today released preliminary costs associated with the snowstorm of Dec. 26.
As of Jan. 5, the cost of salting, plowing and all associated cleanup costs of Ocean County's 620 miles of roadways is $866,000, according to Freeholder James F. Lacey, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Road Department.
Lacey noted the greatest share of the cost was in the Road Department with $400,000 of materials used and $194,000 in overtime.
In addition, costs incurred by Ocean County's Department of Vehicle Services totaled about $100,000 including about $30,000 for fuel, and $33,000 for parts for the more than 113 pieces of equipment on the roads.
Prior to the storm, the county had on hand 24,500 tons of salt and 30,000 gallons of liquid calcium along with 30,000 gallons of brine.
During a major snowstorm Ocean County, at any given time, has roughly 113 pieces of equipment on the roads in addition to the private contractors that are called in to assist with salting and plowing operations.
The county has about 87 trucks that can be used for salting and plowing and about 30 pieces of equipment that can be used just for plowing. Loaders, skid steers and dozers are also called into action to help fill trucks with salt and for other snow removal operations.
"There is about 1,500 lane miles in Ocean County," Lacey said. "This is the largest county road system in the state."
Lacey noted that additional storm related costs were about $22,000 for cleanup performed by the Ocean County Department of Buildings and Grounds, about $16,000 for assistance from the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management, about $8,000 for the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation and about $24,000 for outside contractors.
"This was a difficult storm to cleanup. First there was the snow which in some areas totaled more than two feet and then the whipping winds that created drifts of snow over six feet high in areas," Lacey said. "I send my appreciation to the county staff - from our road department workers to the switchboard operators that made it here on Monday - they all worked diligently to get Ocean County moving again."

Resonance - Beings of Frequency
(documentary film) by James Russell
Comment: This may be one of the most important documentaries ever made. You will need almost 90 minutes to watch the entire film, but it is time well spent. Anyone using wireless devices should watch this film.
RESONANCE is an eye opening documentary which reveals the harm we are doing by existing in an ocean of man made wireless frequencies.
Two billion years ago life first arrived on this planet; a planet, which was filled with a natural frequency. As life slowly evolved, it did so surrounded by this frequency. and Inevitably, it began tuning in.
By the time mankind arrived on earth an incredible relationship had been struck; a relationship that science is just beginning to comprehend.
Research is showing that being exposed to this frequency is absolutely integral to us. It controls our mental and physical health, it synchronizes our circadian rhythms, and it aids our immune system and improves our sense of wellbeing.
Not only are we surrounded by natural frequencies, our bodies are filled with them too. Our cells communicate using electro magnetic frequencies. Our brain emits a constant stream of frequencies and our DNA delivers instructions, using frequency waves. Without them we couldn't exist for more than a second.
This delicate balance has taken billions of years to perfect. But over the last 25 years the harmony has been disturbed. and disturbed dramatically.
Mankind has submerged itself in an ocean of artificial frequencies. They are all around us, filling the air and drowning out the earth's natural resonance.
To the naked eye the planet appears to be the same. But at a cellular level it is the biggest change that life on earth has endured; the effects of which we are just starting to see and feel.

Film Synopsis
Introducing the new iPhone nSa, the best surveillance device to date. It aims to put your freedom . . . in the crosshairs.
Looming Health Crisis: Wireless Technology and the Toxification of America
a good overview of the problems we're facing with the proliferation of wireless transmitters that has changed our environment over the last 15-20 years. Prof. James F. Tracy July 2012
" . . . The smart grid technology is being sold to the public as a way to "empower" individual energy consumers by allowing them to access information on their energy usage so that they may eventually save money by programming "smart" (i.e, wireless enabled) home appliances and equipment that will coordinate their operability with the smart meter to run when electrical rates are lowest. In other words, a broader plan behind smart grid technology involves a tiered rate system for electricity consumption that will be set by the utility to which customers will have no choice but to conform.
"Because of power companies' stealth rollout of smart meters a large majority of the public still remains unaware of the dangers they pose to human health. This remains the case even though states such as Maine have adopted an "opt out" provision for their citizens. The devices have not been safety-tested by Underwriters Laboratory and thus lack the UL approval customary for most electronics.
"Further, power customers are typically told by their utilities that the smart meter only communicates with the power company "a few times per day" to transmit information on individual household energy usage. However, when individuals obtained the necessary equipment to do their own testing they found the meters were emitting bursts of RF radiation throughout the home far more intense than a cell phone call every minute or less . . .
Smart Meters A Little Too Smart? Personal Surveillance
EMF Safety Network - U.S. applicable to Canada and elsewhere (Introduction by Rafe Mair) (Originally posted December 2011)
Introduction my Rafe Mair.
I regard most videos I get with great suspicion . . . many of them have that "Hitler is alive and well living in Argentina" look about them.
This video which has "Smart Meters" as surveillance devices, frankly, disturbs me greatly and if it is true, even up to a point, we must demand an answer not from BC Hydro - why talk to the monkey when you can talk to the organ grinder?
This and another big question arise - this is a one billion dollar exercise and not only were we not consulted, neither were our MLA's.
This is taxation - for that's what it is - without representation. Hitler may not be alive and well in Argentina but I regard this video as a message that must be dealt with. Oh, Yes . . . 'if you've nothing to hide, why are you against a little surveillance?"
The answer is that I do have something to hide . . . MY PRIVACY!"

Mon 11 Mar 2013
Not only does the picture look fabulous and is a really unique and different thing to give someone special on their 40th (we opted for the white picture in a white frame and it looks great), the company Pearl and Earl were outstanding. I had to contact them on a number of occasions, mainly because I left it a little late to order and they fell over themselves to help me out and always came back in a timely fashion which I have not found is always the case on these websites. I would definitely recommend ordering through them.

5 College Basketball Teams Falling Apart at the Wrong Time
By James Sullivan ,
Since the beginning of the sport, programs have been plagued year after year with the curse of coming up short late in the season. We've all seen it happen, and although it's hilarious when it's your rivals who fall, it can be extremely depressing when it's your own squad taking the hit.
This season is no different than all the ones that came before it, and as March Madness approaches, we take a look at the top five teams that are hurting their seed in the big dance with their late conference play.
Whether it is a sudden lack of production on the court, injuries or even stunning upsets at the hands of unranked squads, these five programs lit it up in the first half of the year only to now be threatening themselves with either a lower or even no seed in the NCAA tournament.
The Hoosiers are the only squad in the country to have taken down the No. 1-ranked Wildcats, beating Kentucky at home with a stunning three-pointer at the buzzer. Now, however, Indiana is struggling to stay afloat in a very tough Big Ten.
IU looked unstoppable until its loss at East Lansing, dropping the Hoosiers from the ranks of the unbeaten. Since then, they have fallen in five conference games, including two to unranked squads Nebraska and Minnesota.
Their most recent has come to surprise Big Ten player Michigan up in Ann Arbor. To get back on track for the big dance, Indiana has to win out and take down big-shot Michigan State in Bloomington.
As the defending champs of the big dance, it is expected for the Huskies to return in style. At first, Jeremy Lamb and UConn were looking extremely solid, only owning one loss heading into conference play.
Then, the Big East struck back with a vengeance. Falling first to Seton Hall and Rutgers, the Huskies dropped four in a row, including losses to Georgetown and Notre Dame. As of just yesterday, UConn took on another loss on account of the Cardinals down in Louisville.
With Jim Calhoun taking leave due to medical issues, the Huskies are seriously out of luck. I can't see them going very far in the tourney if they even make it. Honestly, however, the Huskies' only shot at a comeback would be playing for Calhoun in what would have to be an admirable performance.
Really coming into their own this season, the Wolverines have shown up in a brilliant Big Ten. Taking down powerhouses Indiana, Michigan State and Wisconsin so far, their only shot at stealing the conference title would be to win out—including Big Ten leader Ohio State.
Unfortunately, that possibility got a lot slimmer with their loss to the Spartans back on Super Bowl Sunday. Facing an upset-minded Illinois team twice in the remaining conference play also doesn't assist the Wolverines.
With an underrated Nebraska, the powerful Ohio State and Illinois over the next three games coming off the MSU loss, I can't see Michigan rallying back to secure a solid seed in the big dance. Looking as low as coming in as a No. 12 position (depending on the Big Ten Tournament), the Wolverines don't have the luxury to play like they did at East Lansing again.
During the beginning of the season, Vanderbilt impressed against tough teams. Their OT losses to Xavier and Louisville were rough, but wins over Marquette and Alabama made up for those setbacks.
As the Commodores entered conference play, they went strong until another OT loss to Mississippi State. Since then, things have been less than ideal, as back-to-back losses at Arkansas and Florida plague Vandy.
Furthermore, things shouldn't be looking up for a while now, as home games against No. 1-ranked Kentucky and an upset-minded LSU approach quickly. Taking down the Wildcats would be the way to grab everyone's attention, but the more I watch the Commodores, the less confidence I have in that prospect coming true.
It is hard to say the Blue Devils are "falling apart" due to the fact they only have four losses on the year, the most recent coming in OT to Miami. However, falling to weaker squads such as Temple and Florida State is what makes me have doubt in Duke's performance for the rest of the regular season.
I wouldn't be surprised if UNC took them down in both games this year. Facing off against the Tar Heels tomorrow, the Blue Devils seemingly have no shot after their despicable play at home against the Hurricanes.
With both matchups remaining against North Carolina as well as a game against Florida State in Tallahassee, Duke has a tough conference finale coming up. Retaining the possibility of the Blue Devils securing a one seed is highly unlikely considering, but leave it to the winningest coach in college basketball to pull off a miracle.

The battle against lawlessness and deforestation in Brazil's Amazon
It sounds like something out of the American Wild West: gunfights, cattle ranching, mining, farming and frontier spirit in a dangerous, rugged wilderness. But it's happening now and has been for many years in Brazil's Amazon basin – one of the Earth's most precious natural resources. The violent situation in this remote, semi-charted part of Brazil has made the enforcement of the South American country's progressive forest protection laws virtually impossible in the area. This is something the government of Brazil intends to change, with the institution of a new law designed to bring security, order and accountability to the region – and hopefully in turn prevent deforestation. Finally, according to an article in the New York Times:
The Brazilian government is formally establishing who owns tens of millions of acres across the Amazon, enabling it to track who is responsible for clearing forests for logging and cattle — and who should be held accountable when it is done illegally.
But this is a Herculean task as at present only 4% of privately occupied Amazonian land in the country is clearly documented. False land titles abound and though poor, powerless farmers and workers may welcome the new law, well-off landholders are predictably against it. Those who benefit from lawlessness and the plunder of natural resources rarely find solace in rule of law, particularly when it favors the poor – as this new law appears to.
"This chaos of legal insecurity was the most important basis for the perverse incentives in the Amazon to pillage rather than to preserve or to develop, and constant incitement to violence," said Roberto Mangabeira Unger, the former minister for strategic affairs who helped develop the new land law.
–New York Times
Whatever the outcome, it is hard to imagine the new law could make things any worse in a region where crime and bloodshed are daily facts of life. Bringing security to the victims of violence and protecting a natural treasure by preventing the deforestation of the Amazon marries two crucial areas: social and environmental justice. Let's hope Brazil can be successful in this endeavor.

It has been like that for more than 30 years, but nobody pays attention to it. Lula played the good boy in Copenhagen, but his govt. has just given an amnesty for loggers and landowners responsible for the destruction of the Amazonian rainforest. Local elites are corrupt and predatory but Lula needs their votes in Congress to pass legislation.
This way, the wheel of fortune for selfserving and corrupt politicians and businesspeople goes on and on and on. The rainforest pays the price. It has always been occupied under the logic of extractivism, one takes, extracts what mother nature has to offer and leaves behind a trail of destruction. That's the naked reality. Unfortunately, I can't believe this situation will change in time to save the forest.

Wow that sucks...hope she's ok...don't know anyone who's had to have that done so young...
OH MY! Poor little thing! I can't imagine a 1 year old getting a root canal either - Ouch!
And when someone breaks our wings, we simply continue to fly...
Usually on a broomstick but we're flexible like that
Probably hurting you more than her. Sucks when the little ones get hurt. :( Hope she's okay.
A little ice and plenty of comfort. Hopefully she won't need the root canal. Hope she is feeling better.
thanks all... She is taking a nap now from what we can tell she broke it along the same place as last time however she also looks like it went up one side vertically as well. Wont know till tomorrow but it doesnt seem sensitive so hopefully no nerve is exposed.
OMG....Im squirming just thinking about it. Lord do you ever get a rest. We need to get her a mouthpiece like the football players. Give her a spooky hug and hope things work out tomorrow.

After a career as stage actor and director in England and later the USA, apprenticed at Paramount and directed his first feature film in 1943, the chilling, subdued ghost story, "The Uninvited". Although British, Allen filmed two slices of Americana: "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay" (1944), and "Those Endearing Young Charms" (1945) early in his career.

Allen spent most of his career after the mid-1950s directing for TV.
