The vast majority of Exodus adventures are adult group holidays. Groups are always small in size. We strongly believe that this adherence to small groups means a better experience for all; more time with your guide, less waiting around and a reduced impact on the communities and environments visited.
Each group is generally made up of like-minded travellers - with singles, couples and friends all joining in together.
All these trips are suitable for single travellers, but if you prefer to travel with clients booking individually, please
see our Solo Departures page.
In order to provide a more accurate cycle holiday grading system, where a cycling trip falls between two grades we use an intermediate or split grade, for example Moderate/Challenging. Clearly, conditions may differ from region-to-region or month-to-month and as such the information given on these pages is designed to act as a guide to your cycling holiday only. In all cases you should refer to the Trip Notes for further details.
Cycling: Our cycling holidays come in all shapes and sizes; from gentle self-guided trips in the Veneto, to tackling the High Atlas in Morocco, or exploring the length of Vietnam.
Wildlife: Trips may be wholly wildlife focused, or contain an element of wildlife viewing within a less specific itinerary.

Paul | Report | 4 Aug 2007 11:37 |
Wandering through St. John's Churchyard, I noticed a small overgrown grave beyond the footpath close to the ancient boundary wall. The headstone told of a young girl of nine who had died in 1943. Despite the passage of 64 years, the inscription was still legible. It spoke of a young Patricia Armstrong who, at the age of five, was evacuated from Woolwich to Morganstown on the outbreak of war in 1939. Woolwich Arsenal and Dockyard were prime targets for enemy bombing and although Cardiff suffered bombing, Morganstown would have been a relatively safe haven for young Patricia. At the age of five she would have been old enough to have been afraid but too young to really understand the changes that forced her to leave her loved ones. There was no mention of her family and relatives nor the kind people who offered her a home and shelter away from the London blitz. It is possible that her father would have been on active service in the forces and probably posted overseas which might mean he never saw her again after she left London in 1939. Hopefully, her mother and possibly siblings were able to visit her occasionally. She died from unknown causes during the War years and far away from home was laid to rest in a corner of the churchyard of St. John the Baptist. If she had lived she would have been in her mid seventies now – a great grandmother perhaps, with her family and grandchildren around her. Beyond the path, besides the wall, A grave untended, ignored by all, A brief inscription carved in stone, Is all that remains of a life unknown. Perhaps someone will remember her – I hope so. Win Evans, Radyr Parish News, Summer 2007 Can any of you super sleuths tell us more about this child? Patricia Armstrong born 1934 Q2 Woolwich 1d 1362 Mother's maiden name Wilson A possible marriage 1933 Q2 Woolwich 1d 2308 Henrietta M Wilson William Armstrong |

Hi Have looked throught the births till 1937 and have'nt found another birth with Wilson as the mmn in Woolich. It would be nice if you found out she did belong to someones family Cheers Sue |
Paul | Report | 4 Aug 2007 12:03 |
Hi I've looked to see if she may have had siblings, from the marriage date of 1933 until 1939 and although there are several Armstrong's with Wilson as the mothers maiden name I cannot find any born in Woolwich. The story says that she came from Woolwich so to me it looks even sadder that she was probably an only child. Thanks to all who have replied. Bye Paul |
Paul Barton, Special Agent | Report | 4 Aug 2007 12:24 |
Patricia died in the A/M/J quarter of 1943 at East Glamorgan 11a 697. I suppose if you were reall keen you could order the birth and death certificates. Of course the local paper from 1943 may well have a write-up. |

There must be records....perhaps in Cardiff? of which school the child came from in Woolwich. Maybe these will be mentioned in the Morganstown school logs. This in turn might lead to an address and the electoral lists checked there to see whether these are the right parents.... There won't be wartime lists but there is a chance that the Armstrongs were there before the war. Gwyn |
Paul Barton, Special Agent | Report | 5 Aug 2007 07:01 |
This must have been covered in the local paper. Also, even in wartime there would have been an inquest, so a record must exist. |

Hi All, Many, many thanks for all your replies and expressions of interest. The record which Paul Barton found and pointed me to was:- Cardiff Schools & The Age Of The Second World War The Log Books: A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY By Paul Strange This is fascinating reading and appears to be the combined School's Log during the war years. The reports also show that several other evacuees were killed when Cardiff was bombed. Hopefully I can visit the library sometime soon and check out if there was a press report of the incident and also visit the Glamorgan Record Office (GRO) and check out the reference given. What I still do not know is who she was staying with in Morganstown, did they have children, or anything about her parents or other siblings. I have approached the writer of the article who is the sub warden of St. John the Baptist Church where Patricia is buried to ask if he can check the Parish burial records for any snippet of information. If there's any feedback, I'll post it. Once again, many thanks to all. Bye Paul |

A week after Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced an ambitious flood-protection agenda for the city, the first stages of sand dunes are already rising along a stretch of the Rockaways. NY1's Josh Robin filed the following exclusive report. A row of sand bags may be what separates flood-weary New Yorkers from yet another disaster.
"They're going to prevent more damage to their homes and businesses," said Liam Kavanagh of the city Parks Department.
The barrier of 7,590 bags, filled with more than 20,000 tons of sand, will stretch from Beach 55th to Beach 149th Streets.
Hurricane Sandy battered the area. Waves thought to be as high as 30 feet clawed holes into seafront houses and washed away the boardwalk in many places.
"Sandy was an enormous storm, beyond anything that we've seen before," Kavanagh said.
Worsening matters, in 2004, budget worries forced the Army Corps of Engineers to suspend sand replenishment in the area. The erosion reduced the beach's ability to withstand storms. Now, after Sandy, the sand is coming back.
Starting in July, the Army Corps of Engineers will be pumping literally thousands of tons of sand that it collects from out in the ocean, around and above the bags, creating dunes.
The barriers are temporary, while the Corps considers a longer-term solution. Officials say they will not stop surges as big as those brought in Sandy.
Storm protection also comes from a nearby concrete wall, being dug deeper than the previous one.
Some who experienced Sandy fear that even with that, the defense isn't strong enough.
Hank Iori of the Belle Harbor Property Owners Association said the area's homes remain in jeopardy. He wants not just one, but two layers of dunes, plus a boardwalk raised three feet higher than the 13 feet height it generally was before the storm.
"So if it has to climb through those three things, it will not make it," Iori said.
Officials say they have not decided the final height of the rebuilt boardwalk.
Double dunes are something Mayor Michael Bloomberg said should be studied, but so far calls for installation only in a Rockaway neighborhood hit even harder -- Breezy Point.

The Huffington Post Canada | By Michael Bolen Posted: 03/16/2012 1:40 pm Updated: 03/16/2012 9:23 pm
Christy Clark's new press handler Sarah MacIntyre got in a heated exchange with journalists Wednesday after she told them B.C.'s premier wouldn't be answering any questions.
MacIntyre, who recently moved West after serving as Stephen Harper's press secretary, seems to be taking a page out of the playbook she learned while working for the prime minister.
And that fact certainly didn't escape the reporter who was irritated by the refusal to take questions. "Maybe that's the way the Prime Minister's Office used to handle it, but this is not the Prime Minister's Office out of Eastern Canada, this is B.C.," he said.
CTV's Robert Fife says the stance MacIntyre took is similar to that adopted by the federal Tories. "The exchange brought back all the memories of what we go through every day with the Harper government: tight media control, lack of respect for the media. She's taken the Harper media plan and brought it to B.C.," he said.
That may be exactly what Christy Clark wants.
B.C.'s Liberal premier also recently hired staunch Tory Ken Boessenkool as her chief of staff. Boessenkool once served as a Harper adviser and has said he "came out of the womb right wing."
Her hires aren't the only sign Clark is cozying to Harper and his strategies. Earlier this year, the premier made headlines after being photographed at a her son's hockey game with the prime minister, Tim Horton's coffee cups clearly visible.
The pro-Harper strategy seems aimed at preventing a split of the centre-right vote with the B.C. conservatives in the next election, which could allow the NDP to win power, according to The Globe and Mail.
Only time will tell if the strategies which won the Conservatives their first majority government in more than 20 years will help Christy Clark and the Liberals stay on top in B.C.

How to Manage PestsUC Pest Management Guidelines
TomatoCrop Rotation(Reviewed 1/08, updated 1/08) Avoid planting tomatoes in the same field year after year. Rotating to a nonhost crop can significantly reduce pest populations in the field. The table below provides information on nonhost crops that interrupt certain tomato-associated pathogen, nematode, and weed cycles. If your field is infested with nematodes or pathogens listed in the table below, consider choosing a listed nonhost crop. Although longer nonhost crop rotations are ideal, they often are not economically feasible. A rotation of lesser duration is still beneficial, but to a lesser degree. In general, avoid solanaceous crops as rotation choices. For winter annual weed control, choose wheat or small grains and control these weeds with a suitable herbicide. Manage summer annual weeds by growing a corn rotation and using selective herbicides and cultivations. Volunteer tomato plants and other nightshades around the field edges of a rotation crop will perpetuate nematode populations. If your field has a history of nematodes, be sure to destroy all volunteer tomatoes.

Hi all ,
I just downloaded the Plant SDK 2011from AutoCAD P&ID 2011. I did go throug the documentation and tried some examples.
What i found out is that , there is some difference between the API of 2011 and API of 2010.
For example:
The class PnIdObject which was documented but it was never found in Object Browser while developing in Visual Studio ??
How can i get the older api (2010) for AutoCAD P&ID , whiel i do need to buy and install a new one
Solved! Go to Solution.
Starting in 2011, AutoCAD Plant 3D and P&ID share the same SDK toolkit. Also (and as you point out), starting with 2011 the SDK is downloaded. In 2010, the toolkit is installed in a PnPSDK folder that is installed with in the product (and is 32/64 bit specific along with the product).
There is no substantive difference in the SDK feature-wise for P&ID-specific features, but the API binaries, including class libraries are different. So a recompile and some re-referencing can be required (PnIdObject should still be in PnIDmgd.dll, but you need to update the reference). The biggest difference between the 2011 and 2010 SDK feature-wise is the ability to read Plant 3D objects.
If want access to the 2010 SDK to compare, let me know and I can get it to you (there is no change for the SDK).
Hi Richard ,
Thanx for your answer. What i mean now is the PnIdProject and may be PippingProject. Those classes were not found after referencing to the assembly PnPProjectManagerMgd.dll. I am working in Ms visual basic express 2010.
PS: Could you plz send me the PlantSDK 2010 ?
Have a nice day.
Here are the 2010 sdk binaries PnPSDK2010 (32 and 64).zip.
Hi again, A note regarding PnIdProject for 2011. That class is from PnIdProjectPartsMgd.dll, not PnPProjectManagerMgd.dll which the reference guide incorrectly states. Also, PnIdProjectPartsMgd.dll was not added to the 2011 PlantSDK. Instead, you can get the file from the program folder. This should be updated in the next SDK release.
Refreshed link PnPSDK2010(32 and 64).zip (7.5 MB).

Originally Posted by BKLYNCyclone Don't bruises tend to travel downward anyway? I beat the hell out of my lower leg/ankle area, but the blood is all sitting in the bottom of my foot. I think you're right. I have always been told that bruises tend to follow gravity. I had a conversation with the head athletic trainer this fall where I played football in college. They were giving my son a tour of the training room and taping his ankles for fun. I asked her about Kinesio tape since you see it in a lot of places. Her thoughts were that it was more of a placebo affect as others have stated. They have tried it and as others have said the tape lost it's stretch about 20-30 minutes into practice/workouts. She wasn't 100% sure if it did or didn't work but her thoughts were in the testing they have done with it that there doesn't appear to be any benefit. She also said in her 25 years of being a full time AT she has seen things like this come and go a lot. The fact that a lot of chiropractor's are now adding this to their list of services makes me very skeptical of its effectiveness as well. Just my opinion.
I see far more women tennis players use it than men. I always assumed it was a fashion statement, plus a ready-made excuse for losing, like "see, I'm hurt," but maybe that says more about the current state of the WTA than anything. Come to think about, I guess I remember Djokovic using it back in the day when he called the trainer during every match he was losing.

Originally Posted by BKLYNCyclone Don't bruises tend to travel downward anyway? I beat the hell out of my lower leg/ankle area, but the blood is all sitting in the bottom of my foot. I think you might be right. I just know it seemed to accelerate the process of clearing up the bruising, and it looked like it pushed the bruise out to the edge of the taping (Which went from groing almost down to the knee). The shock therapy on the muscle tissue seemed to help out quite a bit too so its hard to say what was attributable to the tape or the other therapy or just natural healing.

A lot of people had tried the kinesiotape and they say that it is really effective and explained how does it work. Other people also says that it is not effective maybe they used the imitation tape. But I believe that it is really effective.

About Rob
Rob was born in California on February 18th, 1971 to a teen-age mother who taught him that above all else, a good education is the foundation to success in life. While neither has a college degree, Rob's parents' instilled in him the belief that everyone deserves the same chance to fulfill their potential, a value that Rob has spent his career working to uphold.
Rob graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in Economics, and shortly thereafter moved to Northern Virginia where he met his wife Lisa at the Old Town Safeway. Along with their two daughters, Janelle and Gillian, the Krupickas live in Alexandria's Del Ray neighborhood.
For the past 20 years, Rob has played an active role in shaping the progressive Alexandria that we know today. He began his civic life as president of the Del Ray Citizens Association, and at the urging of the community he successfully ran for City Council in 2003. During his nine years on Council, Rob worked to expand mass transit throughout the city (including leading on the creation of the planned Potomac Yard Metro); advocated for policies that have dramatically increased recycling; instituted policies that encourage people to walk or bike to work (their numbers have more than doubled since his arrival); fought for the acquisition of acres of new open space; successful pushed to expand pre-k services in the city; streamlined bureaucracy for small businesses so that independent companies have a better chance to thrive; promoted expanded community policing and gang prevention efforts which have contributed to historically low crime rates, and; co-founded the nationally recognized Eco-City Alexandria program that has made Alexandria a recognized leader in energy conservation and sustainability.
In 2009, after helping to create Virginia's school readiness standards, Governor Tim Kaine appointed Rob to the State Board of Education where he currently works to expand educational opportunity in Virginia's schools and ensure that children in the Commonwealth show up to Kindergarten ready to learn and leave High School with the skills to compete in the 21st Century economy. On the Board, Rob has been a strong advocate for increasing math and science learning opportunities in Virginia as well as for getting away from the stranglehold of the No Child Left Behind law.
Rob currently works with state and national organizations to promote quality early childhood programs that have a positive impact on the economy of the United States. He has also worked with numerous technology companies from very small to the very large. Rob was an early innovator in online financial services developing one of the first online banking web sites and helping create America Online's online financial services strategy.
All of these experiences have molded Rob's priorities. As a husband, father, civic activist and public servant, Rob knows the needs of our community first hand.
On September 4th, 2012 Rob won election to the House of Delegates with more than 75% of the vote. In Richmond, he will be a strong voice for the residents of the 45th District.

By Carl Davis Email Comments 0 Share Back 3 of 10 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next View Thumbnails Last Resort Premieres: September 27, 8 pm, ABC Shawn Ryan's The Shield is considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the greatest television shows of all time and the best cop drama, period. So it only makes sense that his latest creation Last Resort would be generating a lot of buzz here at Popular Mechanics' offices. The fictional USS Colorado, an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine, receives a mysterious order to launch a nuclear first strike against Pakistan. The plot revolves around the resulting cat-and-mouse game that ensues between the U.S. Navy and the sub when Capt. Marcus Chaplin (Andre Braugher) defies that order. The only hope for the submarine and the lives of the crew are a delicate nuclear detente, as Chaplin and his XO, Lt. Cmdr. Sam Kendal (Scott Speedman), commandeer the island nation of Sainte Marina as they desperately try and unravel the conspiracy against them and prove their innocence. While the premise sounds highly implausible, the solid writing and breakneck pace of the pilot episode make this one of our most hotly anticipated fall series.

A one inch, a two inch and finally a one and a half inch border.
This uses up most of these fabrics, now to figure out a backing-do I need to purchase some? I haven't checked the backing stash yet!
Friday, January 18, 2013
Finished [Piecing] For Friday
Finally Easy Street is ready for the longarm. Because the borders ended up being whatever I had left of these fabrics I made them up as I went along and I am content with them. It is quite large, almost 100" square.
2 comments:
Looks great and the blues in the border look great with the top. I just finished machine quilting mine last night and sewed the binding on - now I'm going to hand sew that down while watching the rest of Season 3 Downton Abbey on Saturday (he got the DVD's and we're having a marathon watching session).

Tonight, the 11-18 Phoenix Suns will take on the 16-12 Indiana Pacers in their first of a three-game road trip. The Suns are coming off a heart-breaking loss at home against the New York Knicks (minus Carmelo Anthony, Raymond Felton, and Amare Stoudemire), thanks to a last-second catch-and-shoot from J.R. Smith who somehow made the heavily contested, falling-to-the-side jumper to end a valiant come-back effort from Phoenix.
To make matters worse, the Suns will likely be without starting point guard Goran Dragic who suffered a bruised wrist, forearm, and hip after crashing to the floor on a fast break attempt against the Knicks. However, the Pacers are also dealing with the loss of one of their best players as well; Danny Granger is still sidelined from a knee injury that has had him dressing in suits for the last month and a half.
The good news for the Suns is that they seem to have found their identity as a team who never gives up and takes pride in their newly discovered defense. Not only that, but they seem to have found a good fit for their starting line-up finally, with a nice mix of athleticism, scoring ability, and veteran savvy in their starting five. But can the Suns find a way to get a much needed win on the road without their starting point guard?
When: Tonight, 5pm MST/7pm EST
Where: Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, IN
Watch: Fox Sports Arizona (locally), NBA League Pass
The History:
- This will be the 75th meeting between the two teams with the Suns holding a 43-32 advantage.
- The Suns have won four-straight games against the Pacers.
- Phoenix is 6-7 at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse, winning six of their last seven meetings.
- LAST MEETING: In Indiana March 23, 2012, Suns won 113-111
Probable Starters:
Sebastian Telfair vs. Lance Stephenson
Shannon Brown vs. George Hill
Jared Dudley vs. Paul George
Luis Scola vs. David West
Marcin Gortat vs. Roy Hibbert
UPDATE: Goran officially out
Guard @goran_dragic is officially out for tonight's game at Indiana and is listed as questionable for Saturday's game at Minnesota.
— Phoenix Suns (@Suns) December 28, 2012
By The Numbers:
Keys to a Suns Victory:
Short Memory:
The Suns can't get hung up on what happened against the Knicks on Wednesday night, they need to put that game behind them and start over fresh and ready to compete against a pretty good and underrated Pacers team. The Suns need to come out strong and ready to play for 48 minutes...They can't afford to let themselves fall behind early against a good team in hostile territory.
Point Guards:
If the Suns are indeed without Dragic tonight, which head coach Alvin Gentry hinted at yesterday, then the Suns will need some stellar play from Sebastian Telfair to lead the starting unit. Not only that, but the Suns will need Kendall Marshall to step up and lead the second unit in what will likely be the first substantial minutes of his NBA career.
Jared Dudley had the game of his life against the Knicks on Wednesday night, scoring a career-high 36 points in the loss. Although the Suns don't have a superstar on the team by any stretch of the imagination, they will need someone to step up tonight and once again provide that kind of scoring, whether it be Dudley again or someone else.
Hibbert vs. Gortat:
Marcin Gortat has been on an upswing of sorts after a few weeks of very mediocre play. The Polish Machine has once again re-emerged as a legitimate threat down low on both sides of the court, and the Suns will need his best tonight against the 7'1" Roy Hibbert. In their last meeting (which the Suns won), Gortat got the best of this match-up with a 23 point, 8 rebound performance, compared to Hibbert's 19 points and 7 rebounds. If Gortat can manage to control the glass and outscore Hibbert down low, the Suns should be in great shape.
The Bottom Line:
Although the Suns have lost the last three games, they have never lost their competitive edge and can be a very dangerous team to play against. The Suns aren't a very talented team, but they certainly have a great deal of heart and fight in them, and could still win this game even without Dragic at the helm.
However, in order to do so they will need a total team effort on both ends of the floor. Plus, they will need someone to step up tonight and provide that additional spark for the team. The Suns must also limit their mental lapses and mistakes and capitalize on those of the Pacers. Tonight will be a true test of this team's character and resolve while playing without Dragic, and it certainly won't be easy...but I wouldn't count them out just yet.

Perhaps the best example of the continuing legacy of the Sabbatean-Frankist cult,
the satanic forebears of the Illuminati.
by Henry Makow Ph.D.
On May 1, 1989, a "nice Jewish girl", age 29, appeared on the Oprah Show and said her family was part of a Satanic cult that dates back to the 1700's.
Although they appear to be upstanding citizens --lawyers, doctors, police officers etc. -- they engage in Satanic ritual human sacrifice, incest and cannibalism, often in synagogues. They drink blood and eat babies.
She is describing the Illuminati which originated in the Frankist Movement in the Eighteenth century. Jacob Frank, born Jacob Leibowitz (1726-1791) led a major Satanic heresy that shook the Jewish world. They believed that the Messiah would return if the world went over to evil completely, so they encouraged all sexual licence and Satanic Evil as the ultimate Good. Financed by the Frankist Rothschild banking syndicate, they subverted all religions and national elites by assuming every religious and political hue. They took over Freemasonry and are now in the final stage of establishing their world government a.k.a "globalization."
The abuse Polin suffered is a textbook example of how Illuminati families --Jews and non-Jews-- treat their children. George W. Bush and Barack Obama may have suffered simllar trauma and, (like Polin,) have multiple personality disorder. Vicki is from Chicago and there is no telling how many Chicagoans surrounding Barack Obama are part of this Satanic cult.
Polin told Oprah that she witnessed babies sacrificed and consumed for the "power" this gave. These babies are bred within the extended family for this purpose. She said she was raped several times, and elsewhere says she had five abortions due to intercourse with her father.
Polin said her family was "extremely involved" in these practices. Her mother is "on the human relations commission of the town that she lives in, and she's an upstanding citizen. Nobody would suspect her. Nobody would suspect anybody involved in it. There's police officers involved in it. There's, you know, doctors, lawyers..."
"I mean, to the outside world, everything we did was proper and right, and then there were the nights that things changed, that things just got turned around. What was wrong was right, and what was right was wrong. That's what helps to create some of them to develop MPD."
Polin's therapist, Tina Grossman was on the show but edited out of the YouTube. She told Oprah that she had treated over 40 survivors from many states and Canada. They have never met each other yet say the "identical same things."
Ms. GROSSMAN: They are describing identical rituals, just the same as, since I'm Jewish, you could go to New York or California and describe a seder in one state or another and, as a Jew, you would recognize it. This is the belief system in evil and the power that evil gives you, and so it has these certain rituals, so they are very similar with all of the survivors.
OPRAH: See, but I am very surprised because the Jewish faith is the Jewish faith. and worshipping the devil is not a part of the Jewish faith. I mean, Jewish people do not worship the devil.
Ms. GROSSMAN: But before there was Christ and before there was a system of one God, there was Paganism- and it still exists in the world, and in many cultures, you still find the belief that there is strength and power in the actual consumption of human flesh or animal flesh.
In spite of the fact that both Vicki and Oprah said many times this behavior was not typical of most Jews, the B'nai B'rith-ADL attacked the show as "anti-Semitic." Oprah did her penance and obviously has been forgiven. Vicki was stopped on the street and told her testimony would start "another holocaust." Vicki's response was that denying these crimes was akin to holocaust denial. In July of 1989, she penned this statement and sent it to all concerned:
"Our society believes the myth that Jews can't be pedophiles, or abuse their own children. This is a "MYTH," they do abuse children. There are even those who practice cannibalism, and perform human sacrifices. Believe me I saw it with my own eyes. I've come to the point in my life where I feel I need to bear witness. I have and will continue to until I'm sure what I had to endure as a child is believed by you and others like you. I will do whatever is possible so what happened to me doesn't happen to anyone else!"
Vicki became a therapist herself, moved to Baltimore and opened a practice. She has articles about the Frankists on her website. I attempted to contact her without success. But I found an extensive profile with interviews on Luke Ford's website. Included is an Affidavit from a rabbi Vicki contacted in 2004 regarding an exorcism of her cult upbringing. She described their evil ANTI-RELIGIOUS, ANTI JEWISH intent to him in these terms:
"The essence of her story was that there are currently many rabbis involved in this cult who brought their satanic rituals with them to the USA from Europe. That she was born into one of the Jewish families owing allegiance to the cult. She claimed to have been used as part of an organized child sexual abuse ring organized by the rabbi of her synagogue, and that the sexual abuse took place on Sifrei Torah Scrolls laid out on the floor of the synagogue. That the abuse began in early childhood and continued over a period of many years, through her teen years and into adulthood, and that she was only one of the many young children, boys and girls used in this manner. I did not ask for specifics of the rituals but she mentioned cannibalism, defecation and the sacrilege of sacred objects."
A friend believes that the Illuminati want power but he can't believe they worship Satan and eat babies. I certainly wouldn't invent such an implausible scenario. As J. Edgar Hoover said, "We must now face the harsh truth that the objectives of communism are being steadily advanced because many of us do not recognize the means used to advance them. ... The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a Conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst." (Elks Magazine, August 1956.)
People like my friend have little knowledge of history. Does he really think over 180 million people could be massacred in the 20th century merely by accident? Hiroshima, the holodomor, the holocaust and 9-11 were the products of a single Satanic mindset. Does he think the steady decline of popular culture into degeneracy and obscenity is a coincidence? Does he think the gradual mainstreaming of incest homosexuality, pederasty and the occult is random? Does he think the destruction of higher education (in the humanities) and the family is coincidence too? (Forty per cent of US kids were born to single mothers in 2007 compared to 4% in the 1950's.) Mankind is in the thrall of a powerful Satanic cult intent on destroying and enslaving it.
As the therapist Grossman said, Vicki's claims are corroborated by many others. I have reported on them in articles like "Illuminati Sex Slaves Paint Horrifying Picture;" "The Root Problem: Illuminati or Jews?" and "Illuminati Defector Details Pervasive Conspiracy." I have an audio interview with Mary Anne on my site which refers to human sacrifices eight times a year. Both Svali and Fritz Springmeier have described Illuminati trauma brainwashing and satanic rituals. These activities are also practised by high level Masons and members of intelligence agencies like MI-5 and MI-6.
As long as we deny that society has been subverted by a Satanic cult, that our leaders are dupes or agents, we won't be able to address our predicament. As long as we smear truth tellers like Vicki Polin, we will either implicate ourselves, or continue to be accomplices in our own demise.
The logical outcome of this demented ideology is the destruction of everything we hold dear.
Obviously society needs a major cleansing but this won't happen as long as the levers of power are in Illuminati hands and the masses remain apathetic. Hopefully the economic crisis will alert many more people to the danger we all face.

Mary said (July 11, 2009):
I have no doubts about what you say being totally true and came across an organisation right here in the UK (Scotland Actually) called Ritual Abuse Network Scotland (RANS.org.uk) the lady running that Laurie Matthews has been helping survivors of this abuse for decades. She has written about 5-6 books on the matter. Fight! Rabbit! Fight!, Who Dares Wins, Behind Eneny Lines (this has stories of some 27 survivors), Where Angels Fear, Be Aware and The Living Proof. Her books are non sensationalised but to the point. She is located in Dundee and tends to be lowkey but has won many awards for her good work. I have a copy of one of the books Who Dares Wins that I would be prepared to send you, but failing that she has them all on her site. If you ever plan to visit UK please let me know I would love to hear you talk and even meet you. Kind regards, Mary
Andrew said (April 6, 2009):
Just a note to let you know that someone who is a friend of a friend was caught up in the same sort of ritual abuse. Finally after many years we have got a few details, and recently he has 1) admitted that he is a Rosicrucian and 2) that he was forced to join in ritual animal sacrifices at the age of 13, as something his parents were involved in.
Now there are many other interesting aspects to this person, not least that he is a transvestite, and I mean that he is a full-time transvestite at that, and entirely open about it.
However a few years ago when I had it out with him that I thought he was working for the system, he finally cracked and admitted he couldn't just leave, he told me I didn't understand and he was shaking with fear. I mean he had to go out of the room and he was chain-smoking and staggering around as worried as I have ever seen anyone. Now wherever he goes he has helicopters tracking him. This is not a myth; I have seen dozens of video clips he has recorded on his mobile phone.
I know a lot of people think that this sort of thing does not happen, but to experience it with your own eyes is something else. I do feel he has been very brave in pulling out though. I think he fears for his life quite frankly. He does not even live in a house now and lives in a tent in a remote part of the country. The bottom line though is that it was not his fault, he was forced into it and he had no choice in the matter. I think these organisations are very generational in their orientation. You get born into them. I hope this helps with your research.
Richard said (March 30, 2009):
Jo-Marie [below]: Amen to that. I can't wait for Our Lord and Savior's return. This place is getting uglier, day by day and more evil in the process. I can see them(evil doers) on a daily basis and I just can't stand their mere presence. The damage they cause to so many innocent people on a daily basis, has got to be stopped A.S.A.P.
Philip Jones said (March 30, 2009):
Your most recent article will astonish and shock many of your readers. It would have had a similar effect on myself a couple of years ago. But there is very little now which causes incredulity in me. Having read both Sue Ford's and Cathy O's books, along with Fritz Springmeier's expose on mind control, the account given by Vicki Polin is not only highly believable and credible, but undoubtedly the absolute truth.
Many read about such things, and imagine that even if they are true, they are what happens to other people in other places. But as you and I both know, this is not the case. The sheer scope and scale of the Luciferian Evil which is now flowing from the `centre` of the Illuminati is taking humanity in it's diabolical and vicelike grip and perverting all that was once considered good and decent.
Satanism, Luciferianism, Freemasonry, all the `Black Magic` sects practice reverse symbolism. Taken to it's logical conclusion, this describes our world today. Inside out, upside down. All that was once considered good is bad, all that was bad is good.
In the 1950's Homosexuality was considered a disgusting perversion. Today, it is celebrated. At the beginning of the 1960's, women were still in the main largely feminine in nature, outlook and aspiration. Today, particularly here in Denmark, the majority are fiercely feminist/masculine and on their way to being overtly androgynous in all but genatalia, and given time, with the aid of the massive levels of hormones and PCBs being inflicted upon them, that will be achieved too. An androgynous being is synonomous with Satanism and an admitted goal of the New Age. Pornography, was once something to be ashamed of, now, the web is full of it, and few bother denying using it as a `recreation`. Strippers and prostitutes were regarded as unclean women and sluts. Not so today. Incest and peadophalia were unmentionable things and abominations, but even these last bastions of all that was once decent are breaking down at an alarming rate.
Your article is another brilliant expose and I commend your courage in attempting to expose this filth, as the `things` behind it are very evil and very dangerous, and very very serious.
Ingrid said (March 30, 2009):
Thank you! Your story, true or not, is a powerful reminder.
Since ancient times people have sacrificed something valuable to the invisible powers of nature. People wanted rain, a prey, relief from fear, and they assumed, their sacrifice would bribe the gods. As there is a balance of energies, to give something will enforce an exchange.
People sacrificed food, animals or humans. Burning it sends the energy up to the gods in heaven, eating or drinking the sacrifice is for the powers within us.
Religion is about sacrifice and how to please the higher powers. Human sacrifice, especially child sacrifice and cannibalism, are central to many religions.
Christianity celebrates the sacrifice of the son at the fathers request. Christians participate in drinking the sons blood and eating his flesh in the Holy Mass.
How wise was that? Very! As St. Thomas Aquinas explained:"It is natural to mankind to make sacrificial offerings to the Omnipotent God. Man is incited to do so by a natural instinct without any express command." An official statement decribes: "The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the unbloody sacrifice of the Body and Blood of Christ."
From bloody to unbloody sacrifice was a great step at the time, still is. God stepped down, and we can, too. I never understood that, until I read your article.
Jo Marie said (March 30, 2009):
I believe that Satan has worshipers and that just as we are in relationship with the power of God in service to good, some people are in relationship with the power of Satan for evil. I believe Satan rewards his minions with worldly power and success. From that positionn of power and leadership, they influence and corrupt individuals, the community, the countries and the globe. I think they dominate most of the US culture and institutions with evil and that most people fall prey to them because they are not in Communion or unity with God. I would have never imagined so much evil in power and dominance in the US. It is snowballing. Which what revelations says will happen in the end times. People will no longer be able to discern what is good and what is evil and evil will dominate the globe. This corruption goes beyond class, ethnic and religious backgrounds. The most susceptible are young people which is why they go after young people in families, education and the arts.
There is a movie called "The Devil's Advocate" that is quite prophetic about our current times of power and evil. I saw it again last week after not seeing it for many years. You may find it interesting in the way evil is personified and portrayed as interacting in with elite in New York.
I believe that powerful people currently are demanding that others who want influence, success and power accept their worship of evil. If not in the central cult with a ritual as Vicki suffered, at least in their lifestyles and in their beliefs that all that is evil is "not to be judged" as evil is good and free. I would not put any degree of evil deeds beyond these folks. They are in total power and it will not be defeated until God destroys it. All we can do is hold true to God and I don't know about you, but I do not find myself confused and as weak in the face of evil's demands as others and I credit that protection to God. We can also warn others to be true to God and what He has taught them in the face of the elite demanding the opposite from them.
I think we don't really have the power to stop this confrontation between God and Satan that is coming. I have been at the center of the struggle against evil for the last twenty years and no matter who is elected, the evil only grows stronger and with more influence. God is ultimately going to kick it's ass and set us free from it. I don't think the elite have joined with evil to quicken the end times. I think they believe as their master, that they are above God and they will never be challenged by a power greater than evil. They know of no other power. They are demon possessed.
Dan said (March 29, 2009):
You will read in the Old Testament that one reason that the Jews were taken captive to Babylon is that they were worshipping the Queen of Heaven. When a person worships the "Queen of Heaven" a supernatural intercourse takes place. This happens with the worship of any created angelic being. The descendents of the people who worshipped the Queen of Heaven are born with a demonic Siamese type twin that exists at a different energy frequency than does human flesh. This demon shares the brain, the eyes and the sexual organs of the human. It knows and sees everything that the human sees, but the human knows nothing about the demon except what it might gain through hypnosis or psyhcotherapy.
With the worship of the Queen of Heaven, which is Baal worship, a dragon head is grafted on to a dragon-like beast that the Greeks called a Hydra. The soul of the individual, which comes from God is captive in the belly of the Hydra. The person is at one moment a human and at the same moment, in the depths of their being, they are a head on a Hydra.
The commands of Bahpomet, who is the red hydra described by the Apostle in the Book of Revelation, are infused to the hive of Hydras that controls most of the planet Earth. The commands are then directed by the Hydras to their half human children through their demon nature, which is called a "Hydra Nature." There are other natures depending on which angelic beings the human worshipped. The Illuminati Hive is composed of humans with a Hydra nature, who currently control the United States. This control is comming to an end soon, and we will be liberated from this demon race. The Earth is in a transition to a new age, and the Illuminati cannot come with us.
Many people who are descended from the peoples of the Mediteranean that worshipped Baal, Ishtar, Dagon, Neptune, etc., are related by their demon nature, which is a Hydra nature. That is why a Jew can be an Illuminati and a gentile can also be an Illuminati. They are brothers and sisters by their Hydra nature. The reason that Roman Catholics are Roman Catholics is that many have a Hydra nature. This dragon nature is in rebellion against God, and will not humble itself and call Jesus Lord. The dragon nature will not allow the Word of God to get through to the soul which is in captivity. The Word of God must become engrafted into the soul for the person to become saved, Roman Catholicism is really just a disguised form of Ishtar worship, because the Hydra nature desires it. That is why you can have Jews committing acts that were committed during the ancient times. Their demon nature requires it.
David said (March 29, 2009):
If it is part of your religion to lie and blaspheme, then you will have no problem infiltrating a religion and pretending to be a faithful follower. This is what they have been doing.
Weishaupt was a Catholic priest. So he worked on the Catholic Church. They
infiltrated the jewish community. They took over the Masons. (George Washington complained to a friend in a letter about the illuminasation of the masonic clubs.) Later they started cults
lead by high ranking masons. And they have infiltrated the protestant and even fundamentalist
churches. Now they are in government. They own corporations. They own the money system.
They run charitable organizations that appear to be helping people.
It's like the analogy used by Jesus when he described sin as being like yeast.
A microbe that can get into anyplace and is very hard to eliminate.
So the Illuminati is more than a "jewish' thing. It is not a 'commie' thing. It is not a 'nazi' thing.
It is not a 'catholic' thing. This is where many NWO researchers get hung up. It is like the
story of blind men describing an elephant. Each person has a piece of the puzzle but is not able to get the whole picture.
William said (March 29, 2009):
've read your most recent article on Rense.com. I've also seen some other articles from your site and read the comments. I wonder how much information on the Illuminati is true and how much is disinformation. I've read articles discussing Satanism and human sacrifice. Because if one thinks about the subject of world domination and tell someone about it makes someone seem crazy if they talk about a secret group of individuals that are trying to take over the world using banks and debt they use war and play idealisms off of each to make people loyal to them and then you say oh yeah they practice incest, human sacrifice and cannibalism; they spread Satanism through rock and roll and Harry Potter.
I do believe that there is a group trying to take over the world in the ways described on your site and others. I don't believe that they're numerous and powerful as you say, but part of their goal is to convince others not to fight them so they make themselves seem more powerful. They to make themselves seem as evil as possible to scare off potential threats but also to makethemselves seem unbelieve. Well thank you for your time,
Kurt said (March 28, 2009):
Most Jews condone racism against Palestinians. The only weapon of mass destruction demonstrated for the occupation of Iraq is the USA and Israel. How could a kind, merciful God choose people to perpetrate heinous crimes against humanity? Christian Pastors and Ministers are equally silent about this war. All religions have been guilty of complicity in murder and genocide. The Crusades, Inquisition, Puritanical witch trials, are evidence. Killing only requires a commitment to faith in ignorance. Kindness to nature and humanity is the only tangible proof that can deflect evil. Everything intangible is susceptible to manipulation and contrivance.
If this satanic ritual human sacrifice, incest, cannibalism, (often in synagogues)....drinking blood and eating babies, is a correct rendition of certain aspects of Jewish culture, and if some Jews acquiesce this evil, then it is hardly anti-Semitic to oppose these detestable influences to a host country's culture. Henry, you have previously pointed out that many Jews do not condone, practice, or believe in similar evil. Yet no one can question that the silence is deafening. How can many Jews know so little about such blatant evil? Where is the outrage? If Jews do not police their own religious based hatred, considering Jewish media filtration, how can less knowledgeable non-Jews protect themselves from insidious cultural depravity?
I thought I'd read everything imaginable that was evil in the Babylonian Talmud. To read blatant racism, supremacism, and hatred that states it is acceptable to lie, cheat, steal, and kill from non-Jews (which are considered animals). Jewish history is replete with their taking advantage of non-Jews by charging usurious interest through control of banking and the Federal Reserve. Further, they have infiltrated judicial, legal, medical, government, media, and higher echelons of the USA military. Doesn't this infiltration set a pattern in most of the countries they have historically inhabited? Is it any wonder why a blowback or backlash reaction builds, and finally results in expulsion and exile?
Perhaps history is destined to continually repeat itself.
Non-Jewish Illuminati do the same thing yet non-Jews are equally unaware.The mass media defines reality for most people, Jews or not. I notice you don't assume responsibility for the gentiles involved.
One thing seems certain: if necessary they will try to pin the blame on ordinary Jews who are totally innocent and ignorant that this evil cult even exists. In other words, an uninformed anti-Semitism plays into the Illuminati hand. The people to blame are the people at the top of the pyramid-the Rockefellers & the Rothschilds the CFR and the Bilderbergs, and the central banking (and associated) cartels.
Hello again Henry,
Thanks for your more than patient explanation. I am now sure you are right. I guess I was just overwhelmed with the difficulty of imagining something that I know little about.
Maybe your clarification will help others who are also befuddled. In my humble opinion, you have, and are, doing a great service to humanity.
Elaine said (March 28, 2009):
I have believed this was possible for a very long time. All the signs in society point to it. Most peoples minds cannot accept that anyone let
alone a conspiracy cult could be involved in such transgressions.
Because G_d has been relegated out of our society, it is going to be harder to get anyone to believe in this. If there is no G_d then there
can't be a personage called satan. This is what this malvolent spirit wants and so do those who are involved in this cult.
The sick things that they have perpetrated upon the innocent is a horrendous affront to the G_d of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. It will be enought to move Him to send Chastisement upon not only our
country, but the entire earth.
If one is not blinded by the things of the world, it could be seen that we are already into a period where G_d is going to allow the break-
down of everything that has brought affrontry to Him. In His good time the evil will be destroyed and a new heaven and a new earth will be
made apparent. Keep watchful, for no one knows the hour or time of their visitation. History has proved that those nations who forget
Him are destroyed in one way or another. Some of these nations can no longer be found. America is on the precipice of Gods justice.

Hi Team,
We want to roll out Adobe Reader 10.1.0 to 10.1.3 using SCCM, gone through many forums still get confusing. please let me know what is best pracitce to upgrade 10.1.0 to 10.1.3 using simpliest way..
Thanks in Advance.
Depends on a few things. Are you using SCCM 2012 or 2007? Are there any existing installations of previous versions on your clients?
With SCCM 2007 i was using a tasksequence with 3 steps.
- uninstall old versions (script) - WMI Query if any reader version lower than 10 is installed
- install 10.1 (package) - WMI Query if no reader is installed
- update 10.1.3 (package) - WMI Query if version 10 is installed and version not 10.1.3
You only need the latest patch, which is 10.1.4 by now.
the TS looks like this.
Step 1: uninstall old Reader Versions
WMI Query : (root\cimv2\sms)
if all of the conditions are true
Select * From SMS_installedSoftware Where ProductName Like '%Adobe%Reader%' And Not ProductVersion Like '10.%'
... running the following script
strComputer = "."
intRet = 0
Set sho = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2\sms")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("select * from SMS_InstalledSoftware where ProductName Like '%Adobe%Reader%' And Not ProductVersion Like '10.%'",,48)
For Each objItem in colItems
strVersion = objItem.ProductVersion
prodCode = objItem.ProductCode
strCommand = "C:\Windows\System32\msiexec.exe /X" & prodCode & " /norestart /q"
intRet = sho.run(strCommand,0,True)
If intRet = 3010 Then
intRet = 0
End If
Step 2 : Install Adobe Reader 10
WMI Query : (root\cimv2\SMS)
if none of the condidions are true
Select * From SMS_installedSoftware Where ProductName Like '%Adobe%Reader%'
Step 3: Install Adobe Reader Update 10.1.4
WMI Query: (root\cimv2\SMS)
if all of the conditions are true
Select * From SMS_installedSoftware Where ProductName Like '%Adobe%Reader%' And ProductVersion Like '10.%' And ProductVersion != '10.1.4'
Thank you so much
Sorry for not getting back to you earlier but patching is always seems to be a back burner issue when the front burners are on fire!
I put the TS sequence together, the first part is a little hard to see if its working because i had already rolled out 10.0.1 AIP which i then patched to 10.1.0 as the base install. Now that i want to patch it to 10.1.4 i get this message;
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch"
I think i came across one of your post commenting on you not installing AIP anymore, in any case I've been deploying Reader since v7 and every version is still a nightmare for patching.
If you have any suggestions I would much appriciate it.
Hi, you can not patch AIP installations on your clients directly with the MSP file. AIPs are pretty useless now because you even cant apply the patch to the AIP that has been patched already with a former update. You could create a competely new AIP and apply 10.1.4. But think about the workload you have to go through for every single patch. The best thing you can do is to add a step to your task sequence and detect any installation that is not version 10.1.4. and uninstall it. In the next step install the 10.1.0 MSI with you transforms file. And as a third step install the 10.1.4 update. Of course this will take a while this time, but saves you a lot of pain for all coming updates. You also need to remove the uninstall step for the next update (10.1.5?). If you have configured SCCM as update point and do you patching with SCCM intead of WSUS, you can use the System Center Update Publisher to integrate the Adobe products into the update services. Here is a good guide how to do that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyEGWSFWyy0 Good luck Peter
Always seem to find out too late that software developers changed their deplyment methods - so into the toilet for AIP
I looked at the video and Update Publisher but because we have a very small user base we decided against SCUP because then WSUS updates would need to be deployed through SCCM.
Just for completeness lets say i deploy 10.1.0 and patch to 10.1.4, but lets say adobe release 10.2.0 instead of 10.1.5;
Will i be able to patch the;
or would it be necessary to do the full path, ie.
Or is this possible?
All of this is described in the Admin Guide. In general, AIPs are more work than using SCCM and bootstrapper, but many admins use AIPs without a problem.
The patch methodology for AIPs have a few more restrictions than other ways, but in general quarterlies patch to the last full installer; that is, quarterly MSPs are applied over the last MSI (full installer).
Whenever the second number is incremented, there's a full installer. Thus, 10.1 was a full MSI. 10.2 would be a full MSI. 10.1.5 would be a quarterly MSP.
Start with the doc.
From what interpret from the admin guide its possible to just do
now that i was just getting ready to try brape33's script i see that v11.0 has just been released but no customization wizard is out for it yet.
Well i guess i'm waiting some more before updating Reader.
Adobe Customization Wizard XI is live now. It can be download from: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5515

Here is a good test
Here's the information you asked for:
Note: for my own protection, I replaced my actual username with "username". Nothing in the above indicates that a non-administrative account should be able to write to /library/fonts/. However, if the gurus out there tell me the problem is on my end, please let me know so I can 1) fix it and 2) ask Rob to remove the hint. As a follow up to my original hint, I admit I did jump the gun as far as the default installation is concerned. I deleted the fontbook.plist file and started up FontBook again. The default installation was install "for me only", but any user can select the option "for all users" and install a font in /library/fonts/.
That output indicates that nothing was amiss about the permissions. So that simple hypothesis of why a non-admin user was able to add system fonts seems debunked. |

Shower Curtain Gets Stabby On H2O Wasters
Elisabeth Beucher's 'Green Warrior Shower Curtains' help control your water consumption by slowly inflating its spikes (via a questionably energy efficient air pump) as you shower. Stay in too long and you get stabbed. Drop the soap and experience prison. While I do find this design admirable, I have an even better way to curtail water wastage: don't pay your gas or electric bill. You'll still have cold water, and cold water, my friends, is the key to shorter showers. Seriously, I'm down to 35 seconds. Haven't seen my balls in weeks!
Happy Earth Day everyone!
in honor of earth day: the shower curtain that impales you [theinteriormind]
Thanks to Travis, who only bathes the way God intended: with a woman to scrub his back.
The $200 Solar Power Shower can heat up to 8 liters of water to 140° Fahrenheit in as little as two hours, provided it's outside in the sun and not in your basement. It's a lot more sophisticated than a simple camping solar shower, because this one mixes that 140° water w... / Continue →
The Abisko Washbasin from Eumar isn't even a basin. It's a freaking waterslide. A waterslide sink that drains onto the floor. How hilarious would it be if some bar installed this thing and forgot to put in the drain? Or even better -- you clogged it with a bunch of paper to... / Continue →

Nascar!! I took my mother to the event as she is a hardcore fan. I myself was not as interested. But after going, I can see why people love it. The track was huge, and I have never seen so many people in one place. And they all were so friendly (as long as you were cheering for the right driver). We met people in the stands who invited us to stay with them and come see a race in atlanta. How many events can you think of where that holds true. It was so loud. Definitely not the place for kids with insanely loud noises, and the alcohol flowing freely. But you couldn't beat the attitude in the stands. I can't wait to go again.

It was my first race experience and I loved it. The only down side was that my neuromuscular disease prevents me from walking very well and I was told I could not take my mobility scooter in. Since I could not climb over the seats with my two canes, I spent the All Star Race sitting outside on a bench waiting for my husband. If you do not have any physical limitations its great. If you do have them, try to get as much information on what is available for you before you commit to going.
