Half of the Red Sox showed up to play half of the Blue Jays today in what ended up being one of those oddities of spring training: a tie.
With Jon Lester off making a start in an unofficial B-game featuring innings that ended after two outs and other fun spring quirks, the Red Sox turned to a rag-tag group of relievers, minor leaguers, and bit part pitchers to go nine innings against a Blue Jays lineup likely not far off from their opening day bunch. For their part, they did a pretty good job of things, too. Working around a leadoff single from Omar "Comin' " Vizquel and a plunked Jose Bautista (which, frankly, might just be good strategy), Justin Germano induced three ground balls to end the first before tossing a perfect second frame.
The names in the Red Sox' lineup were not quite so impressive, but did manage to strike first, as minor leaguers Juan Carlos Linares and Oscar Tejeda led off the third inning with singles off of Darren Oliver. The 41-year-old hurler would manage to get Mike Aviles to pop out (he kept his hitting streak alive with a double in the first inning), but surrendered a sacrifice fly to Ryan Sweeney to break the scoreless tie before escaping the inning.
The Jays would not be down for long, however. Stepping to the mound with no semblance of control, former Pirate Justin Thomas would give up a single, hit Omar Vizquel with a pitch, and then walk Kelly Johnson to load the bases with no outs. With Jose Bautista coming to the plate Thomas seemed doomed, but this time glory would escape Joey Bats, who could only pop the ball up for an easy out. Taking down the reigning MVP, however, did not seem to intimidate Edwin Encarnacion, who quickly sent a single into left that winded up scoring three runs thanks to an error from Cody Ross.
Facing a rare deficit, the Red Sox went straight back to work in the fourth. This time facing Francisco Cordero, the Sox received singles from Lars Anderson and Kelly Shoppach in between a David Ortiz pop-up and Oscar Tejeda strikeout. A wild pitch from Francisco Cordero would allow both men to move into scoring position, which proved all-important when Vizquel misfired on Juan Carlos Linares' ground ball, allowing the tying runs to come home on the error.
From there, both teams would tighten up. Mark Melancon and Junichi Tazawa would throw a scoreless inning a piece, with Tazawa giving up a hit and Melancon recording both a walk and a strikeout. With neither team managing to push across another run, and nobody particularly interested in extra spring baseball, the sides called it a 3-3 tie after nine innings.
Meanwhile, in the B-game, the Red Sox kind of beat the Twins 4-1. I say "kind of" because it's hard to really call it a victory when Jon Lester throws 34 pitches through two outs in the second inning, prompting the teams to end the inning there and let him come back out for a few more tosses in the third. Still, Jose Iglesias picked up a couple hits, and Will Middlebrooks tossed in a double.
Also pitching were Matt Albers, Scott Atchison, and Drake Britton. Albers and Atchison both had clean innings, with Albers throwing two with a pair of strikeouts to match. Drake Britton would allow the Twins' only run on three hits in his two innings of work.
No The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly today since without any broadcasts there's only so much to talk about.

The XCG6 delivers truly extraordinary performance. Featuring a more "pear-shaped" design than its predecessor, the hybrid boasts a maraging steel cup face and a tungsten steel sole and body. Maraging steel is used in the face over stainless steel because it possesses superior strength without losing malleability. As a result, the club face can be made thinner to launch the ball with less spin and at faster ball speeds.
The heavier, tungsten steel sole offers extreme heel and toe weighting that provides a high moment-of-inertia for reduced club head twisting and greater forgiveness. Making every shot easier to hit, the club has a shallow face height and more cambered sole that takes on difficult lies with ease. The XCG6's hexahedron sole weighting moves weight back into the heel and toe areas further enhancing the playability of the club making it easy to hit, exceptionally long, and deadly accurate.
- Maraging steel face launches the ball at faster speed with less spin
- Heavier tungsten sole incorporates extreme heel/toe weighting for greater stability
- Shallower face height and more cambered sole provide easy-hitting versatility from any lie
Distance technology - Face is made of maraging steel because it is stronger and can be made thinner to launch the ball faster with less spin.
Control technology - Hexahedron heel & toe sole weighting creates higher moment of inertia for reduced twisting at impact
Design technology - Shallower face height and more cambered sole combine to create solid, clean contact from any type of lie

From the Program Director:
The residency program of the Department of Neurology of the University of Maryland provides a superb, ACGME approved, educational experience for our eighteen neurology trainees. Our faculty of 42 physicians and 13 Ph.D.'s are devoted teachers, clinicians, and researchers. Together with colleagues in neurosurgery, neuroradiology, psychiatry, and many other disciplines, they represent a wide breadth of expertise available to the neurology resident.
The University of Maryland Medical Center is a large tertiary care center, with a broad network of referring community hospitals throughout the region. As a consequence, on the inpatient services neurology residents have exposure to common neurology diagnoses, as well as patients with more complex or rare conditions who are transferred for a higher level of care. Among the many services offered are an active Neuroscience ICU, Epilepsy Monitoring Unit, and state of the art Neuroradiology suites for interventional management of acute stroke.
Similarly, in the outpatient center, patients come for treatment of a broad range of disorders, including patients referred from community neurologists to our specialists for second opinions. Our residents also receive training at the Baltimore VA Medical Center, which is connected to the University hospital by a foot bridge. Residents also rotate at the Maryland Rehabilitation and Orthopedics institute (formerly Kernan Hospital), a specialized rehabilitation center with dedicated stroke and neurotrauma units. With all of these resources available, our neurology residents receive a broad inpatient and outpatient clinical neurology experience.
There are many educational opportunities, including grand rounds, Chairman's rounds, case conferences, daily morning report, specialty conferences, and a curriculum of didactic mid-day lectures throughout the year. The faculty is involved in a wide array of research activities, from basic science laboratory programs to clinical trials. There are abundant opportunities for residents to pursue research questions, either of their own design or in conjunction with on-going projects.
Our program is designed to provide increasing responsibility and independence as trainees become more experienced, while always maintaining support from more senior residents, fellows, and attending physicians. By the end of the residency, our trainees are well prepared to succeed in any of the many career options available to neurologists today. Our residents have been very successful in going on to fellowships and careers in many different fields.
We are constantly examining our program; working with the residents to make adjustments to provide the best possible training. We invite you to learn more about our Department and visit us so that you can experience first-hand the opportunities that our residency program provides. For more information, please contact Ms. Michele Canter, Director, Education Office at 410-328-5841 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Carolyn A. Cronin, M.D., Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Neurology
Neurology Residency Program Director
Welcome to our website for the Neurology Residency Training Program of the University of Maryland. The goal of this site is to share our perspective of the program as current residents. We hope that this will interest you in learning more about the program in person.
You may be actively gathering information about residency programs or be in the process of applying for residency. If so, you have made a wonderful choice - this is an exciting time to be a neurologist and a neurologist in training.
Our residents work at the University of Maryland Medical Center, the Shock Trauma Center, Kernan Rehabilitation Hospital, and the Baltimore VA Medical Center. The University of Maryland is a referral center for patients in the surrounding communities with complicated neurological problems, so we have the opportunity to care for a diverse patient population.
Graduates from the University of Maryland have a reputation for providing excellent patient care and being superior clinicians. We attribute this reputation to the many outstanding teachers on our faculty. In addition to the teaching, our large faculty provides extensive opportunities for both clinical and basic science research. Even with the large size of our department, the faculty are very approachable and take an active role in all aspects of resident education. At the University of Maryland, we are actively involved in shaping the program and have a lot of input and ownership. This is possible not only because of the friendships among the residents, but also the camaraderie with the faculty.
Our residents come from a variety of backgrounds and have equally varying interests and professional goals. There are opportunities for involvement in clinical and basic research, with projects of varying scope. Historically, most of our residents enter fellowships prior to pursuing careers in academics or private practice. At completion, our residents are very proficient with the acute evaluation and treatment of stroke, and are comfortable managing the spectrum of neurological diseases, including movement disorders, epilepsy, neuromuscular disease, multiple sclerosis, and headache. Most of our recent graduates have had their first choice of jobs or fellowships.
Baltimore and the surrounding region also provide a myriad of extracurricular activities, with many excellent restaurants, sporting venues, and cultural events to choose from. The beaches of the mid-Atlantic region and the Appalachian Mountains are only a few hours away, offering easy access for weekend getaways. The city and surrounding suburbs have many beautiful and safe neighborhoods, and our residents have chosen a variety of different places to live that suit their own tastes. Maryland public schools are among the best public schools in the US and being part of the Baltimore-Washington, DC metropolitan area provides excellent access to many job opportunities for graduating residents and their significant others.
We hope that this has given you a glimpse into our program. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Seaway Valley & Hacketts: a special report
Watertown, NY, Sep 16, 2009 — This morning, we have a special report on how two North Country retailers, Hacketts and Wise Buys, came together in a shifting delta of deals and dreams. And debt, because this is a story of a bold idea for a homegrown venture gone sour. Republican Dede Scozzafava's run for Congress helped turned the spotlight on the business dealings of her brother, Tom, and her involvement in them. But the fortunes of Wise Buys and Hacketts had been in the headlines for years. They were joined two years ago in a new company, headed by Tom Scozzafava. Seaway Valley Capital Corporation has now absorbed other local businesses as well, including Sackets Harbor Brewery and Alteri's bakery in Watertown. Dede Scozzafava plays no active role in the company, but she is one of its most valued lenders. The company is now buried under $37 million in debt, double its assets. A look at the company's public filings shows a thicket of complex debt instruments, used to raise capital and pay off other loans. Stockholders have lost millions of dollars. As with all struggling companies, it wasn't supposed to turn out this way. In this special report, David Sommerstein untangles the complicated story of Seaway Valley, Hacketts, and Dede and Tom Scozzafava.

MILWAUKEE -- Anthony Rizzo wasn't going to hit .330 every month, although he did in July, but the Cubs' rookie first baseman has scuffled in August, hitting .244.
"I'm just not feeling that great at the plate," Rizzo said before a 3-2 loss to the Brewers. "There are pitches I could hit that I've kind of rolled over. It's frustrating, but it is what it is."
Rizzo's strikeout numbers are up, which is not a good sign. Maybe the other teams simply have a better scouting report? He said the Brewers have mixed up the pitches to him, staying away on Monday and throwing inside more on Tuesday.
"It's just about hitting the pitches they give me, the good pitches," he said.
Wednesday was Rizzo's 50th game with the Cubs. He played 49 games last season with the Padres -- 35 in late June and July, then another 14 in September.
"This is the most I've played," he said. "Last year, I played in September, too, but I didn't really play. You have to keep staying turned on. It's fun coming to the park every day and competing. I'm not doing that great right now, but it's fun. I wouldn't say it's fun going through these [losing streaks]."
Cubs manager Dale Sveum has seen a change.
"He's fallen into a little bit of the pitch selection and [has been] caught in between -- 'Do I take? Do I swing at the first pitch?'" Sveum said. "I think he's going through a lot of that instead of having the same thought of just getting a good pitch."
The Cubs as a team rank last in on-base percentage, walks and runs in the National League.
"You can't think about situations all the time," Sveum said. "You have to just apply yourself and produce in the situation at hand. You can't think, 'I've got to do this, I've got to do this.' You have to have the same game plan all the time. That's what I think we struggle with is the game plans go out the window too often."
Much changed between LaHair homers
MILWAUKEE -- It was a long time between home runs for Bryan LaHair.
On Wednesday, he hit his first blast since July 4, connecting on a leadoff homer in the seventh in the Cubs' 3-2 loss to the Brewers.
"Any time you can get a result after hard work, it shows hard work can pay off," LaHair said. "I'll take it."
He's gone from being the Cubs' starting first baseman and All-Star to a spot starter in right field and left-handed bat off the bench.
"It's definitely tough," LaHair said. "It's not something I'm used to, and not something I like. I'm trying to do the best job I can possibly do."
Cubs manager Dale Sveum said Wednesday he'd like to see players see more pitches in their at-bats and "grind them out." LaHair knows what he means.
"I feel like I grind out most at-bats," LaHair said. "I see a ton of pitches. Very rarely do I ever go up and come right back. Usually, that brings a lot of success, and obviously, it hasn't as of late. I know it will and I'll keep doing what I do."
Now, he's being asked to help some of the young players learn that.
"You go up and just swing at everything, you won't have much success," LaHair said. "It's usually the other way around -- when you see a lot of pitches, you have a lot of success. Battling tough pitches to get that next pitch is key to grinding out an at-bat. You get that pitch or two, you want to do something with it."
Right now, he'd like to get more chances to do that. What about next year?
"I just want to be in the big leagues. I want the opportunity, and whatever opportunity comes my way, I'm going to try to do the best I can," he said.
Rusin debuts in front of scores of family, friends
MILWAUKEE -- Chris Rusin will need some more display space at home after his Major League debut Tuesday. The Cubs pitcher had souvenir balls from his first strikeout, first hit and first game, plus other tokens from the game, a 5-2 loss to the Brewers.
Rusin had a huge cheering section as about 40 family members and friends made the seven-hour drive from Michigan to Milwaukee.
"There were people I didn't even know who showed up," Rusin said Wednesday. "They're crazy. They did the same thing [for his starts at Triple-A Iowa]. They'd drive nine hours and the next morning, they'd be out."
Rusin's mother was crying after the game, but they were tears of joy.
"She was an emotional wreck," the lefty said. "It made her happy. They're proud of me. I expected her to cry."
What's next for Rusin? He's not sure. Cubs manager Dale Sveum said the club will address the roster Friday. Right now, the Cubs have six starting pitchers. For Rusin, he's still a little numb.
"I don't think it's set in," said the lefty, who gave up one run on one hit over five innings. "It'll take awhile. I'm trying to do the same thing I've been doing all year and not think too much about it."
Extra bases
Cubs closer Carlos Marmol had a large bandage on his right ankle after being spiked on a play at first by the Brewers' Jean Segura.
"He got me good," said Marmol, who did not appear Wednesday despite being available.
Marmol has converted his last 14 save opportunities dating to May 2.
Sveum would like to see some of the young players on the Cubs' roster get more at-bats in the winter leagues.
"I think the more baseball you play, the better you'll be," Sveum said.
Would Josh Vitters and Brett Jackson be the guys who should go?
"I don't know if it's going to happen," Sveum said. "But off the top of my head, those are guys who should play winter ball. Go and play as much as you can, get as many at-bats as you can."
Class A Daytona's game Tuesday was postponed because of rain. It's been a tough stretch for the team. In the last 13 games, Daytona has been delayed twice, postponed five times, played two doubleheaders, and cancelled four games (all at home) with two of the 13 played as regularly scheduled nine-inning games.
The Cubs dismissed six members of their scouting staff on Wednesday. The list includes pro scouts Joe Housey, Richie Zisk, Tom Bourque and Tom Shafer. The club also cut ties with amateur scouts Charlie Aliano and Rick Schroeder. Aliano was a regional crosschecker and Schroeder was an area scout in the Midwest.

154 loboy clutch brake question
How do I know if I need to replace the clutch brakes? ( 2- round plastic like brakes) they install in the retainer that bolts to the trans case. I assume the brakes wear, and need replacing/ One side of the brakes appear flat, and has a wood like grain sticker on it>>? also is there a right and wrong way to insert the brakes into the retainer? thanks for the help Jim
Re: 154 loboy clutch brake question
These (404642R1) should look like a pool cue stick tip. The "woodgrain tip" should face/contact the steel flywheel.
Cub Cadets....Engineered for people who know better!
Re: 154 loboy clutch brake question
Ken, that would be the flat side makes contact with flywheel. The rounded part faces retainer. thanks,Jim
Re: 154 loboy clutch brake question
Usually the way to tell if you have a problem is the clutch brake doesn't stop the clutch and you "grind them till you find them". The usuall problem is too much wear in the linkage system, causing continual adjustment. Tighten up the linkage with new bushings(welded in) and the adjustment will be few again.
Re: 154 loboy clutch brake question
Dave, do you have any pictures of the linkage fix? Not sure I understand. I know the bolt that connects to the brake bracket, has adjustment ,By turning in or out, not sure what bushings you are talking about, thanks Jim
Re: 154 loboy clutch brake question
Check all the moving joints between the foot pedal back to the point the clutch brake starts to engage. Any wear throughout the system(like the pivot points where pins wear against holes in the brackets), this lash adds up through the linkage and often time is greater than what is available in the adjustment back at the brake. This is why on older units people complain of constantly having to adjust. I have seen some clever adaptations where the brake can be applied by hand directly on the clutch brake itself. These are quite effective, but do require one hand to "hand brake" and use of your other hand to select the next gear.
Re: 154 loboy clutch brake question
Thanks Dave. I was wondering why Ih did not have a true brake pad, kind of like the old hand clutch days, and belt pulley brakes, that used a brake lining to stop the pulley? I will check the linkages, and do my best. thanks again, Jim
Re: 154 loboy clutch brake question

Guardian voices: The labor agreement that changed SF
This year marks the 53rd anniversary of the beginnings of negotiations between the International Longshoreman's and Warehouseman's Union and the Pacific Maritime Association over what came to be known as the "Mechanization and Modernization Agreement." Signed in October, 1960, after months of talks, the "M and M agreement" transformed San Francisco's economy forever, moving its founding industry -- shipping and trans shipping -- to the East Bay, opening up the land once devoted to maritime uses to real estate development, and setting off the modern political era of San Francisco.
The agreement allowed containerization to come into the San Francisco Bay, making obsolete the finger piers along San Francisco's waterfront and the ILWU's "gangs" that worked on them, hand-loading "break bulk" cargo into the holds of cargo ships. The new technology of shipping cargo in a single container that could be transported by truck, train, and ship without unloading transformed maritime trade.
During World War II, shipbuilding and shipping were fundamental in the effort to move billions of tons of supplies and millions of troops across the global battlefield. In both cases the San Francisco Bay was ground zero in that in that effort.
Kaiser and Bechtel, two Bay Area-based construction companies, wildly successful in undertaking huge construction projects during the New Deal, were urged to build ships during the war. Kaiser in Richmond and Bechtel in Sausalito constructed huge shipyards that built cargo ships by the hundreds, bringing tens of thousands of workers to the Bay Area and changing the demographics of the region for ever. These huge industrial centers didn't last after the war, and while they transformed who lived in the region, they didn't really have a lasting economic impact.
But wartime changes in cargo handling did.
For as long as San Francisco had been a city, it depended on its port as the base of its economy. The Gold Rush happened here in part because we had a port and the world rushed in on ships. The enduring fortunes were made during that period by merchants and shipping companies were totally dependent on shipping and cargo handling.
At the heart of the maritime economy was the longshoreman who, by hand, loaded and unloaded ships' holds. The demand for speed during WWII saw the then-revolutionary introduction of the fork lift truck on the piers of San Francisco, replacing hands with a machine for the first time in the history of the San Francisco waterfront.
But that was only the beginning. New ship designs and new shipping techniques were invented to meet the needs of global war. Since most of the Pacific islands that were the military objectives of the war had no ports or piers, ships were designed that could land directly on a beach and unload preloaded trucks. Preloaded containers were simply stacked on the decks of Liberty ships, avoiding the need to load the cargo below decks. By the Korean War these containers were in such regular use by the Army that ships were modified to carry only them, replacing below-deck cargo entirely.
Since ports and piers had been major targets during the war and required extensive rebuilding in both Europe and Asia, new cargo handling techniques were built into these new facilities, making US ports, undamaged by the war, outmoded and old fashioned. If US ports were to keep up they had to be modernized. But who would pay for these new facilities: the shipping business or the government?
San Francisco was still governed by an unbroken line of Republican Mayors during this key period: the anti-New Deal, pro-Mussolini Angelo Rossi; the shipping line owner and anti- ILWU leader Roger Lapham; the pro-real-estate development Elmer Robinson; and finally, the last Republican Mayor of San Francisco, the pro-urban-renewal stalwart George Christopher. These four had no desire to rebuild the waterfront and make the ILWU even stronger. Indeed, Robinson and his successor Christopher had a vision of the waterfront as prime real estate, not working waterfront.
And so, with no commitment to the maritime industry from the city's leadership and with technological change making the status quo impossible to maintain, Harry Bridges and the leadership of the ILWU cut the best deal they could for their existing members: the 1960 M and M agreement, which gave all existing longshore workers lifetime jobs and very good pay -- but sealed the fate of San Francisco waterfront.
By 1962 the Port of Oakland had built its first container facility, and that same year, the first containership, the S.S. Elizabethport, docked and begin loading. By the mid 1970's, the ILWU was no longer a force in the San Francesco labor movement, its leadership taken by the Building Trades unions whose numbers increased as the development boom, fueled by land made vacant by the loss of the maritime industry, grew.
For the rest of the Bay Area, it was San Francisco's model of waterfront as real estate development that was followed, not Oakland's investment in cargo shipping. By 1965, development of the Bay was so intense that the McAteer-Petris Act was passed, creating the Bay Conservation and Development Commission, a regional body aimed at limiting the powers of local governments (like San Francisco) in filling and over-developing the Bay.
The 8 Washington battle, the struggle over the Hunters Point shipyard, and the looming battle over the use of a port pier for the Warriors arena all have their history deeply rooted in the 1960 M and M agreement.
In this second decade of the 21st century, our greatest challenge is creating and sustaining meaningful employment. Would our prospects be better if we had somehow been able to keep some maritime uses at the port? Would families in Bay View-Hunters Point be more able to buy homes in their own neighborhood if the same kinds of jobs that allowed their grandparents to buy theirs still existed? Would the boom-or-bust cycle of our real-estate dependent local economy been so disruptive if we had a more steady state base of a maritime sector -- which kept the Great Depression from being so devastating in San Francisco in the1930s?
These questions are real -- and should show that the shape of our economy is made by us and the decisions we make, locally, not solely by techological change, global trends or the far-too-palsied invisible hand of the free market.
and life moves on. Since these events happened, SF (or rather, the hinterland around it) has become a world leader in tech, and SF no longer needs broad-shouldered yeoman to carry the weight of prosperity. We have smarts now, which is way more profitable than muscle.
Nostalgic reminesces back to the good ol' days of brawn and might still probably plays in Ohio. Not here.
As always, Calvin, you're a million short and a generation late. As charming as that is.
I'm pretty sure that Frank "Matrix" Jordan, not George Christopher, was the last Republican San Francisco mayor. A very interesting history. Thank you.
which of course is pretty much the same thing as a Republican on local issues. If you mean a Republican who dared to use the label himself, then no. It would be Christopher. But if you mean a DINO indistinguishable from Republicans on everything that mattered locally, then the last Republican mayor was not Frank "Matrix" Jordan. It was Gavin "Care Not Cash" Newsom.
If you hadn't noticed progressives lose every, single time.
before the State legalized that is, somehow, inexplicably, a Republican?
Your sense of the mid-point in politics is severaly skewed if you think SF has ever produced a Republican leader in living memory.
Have you ever even met a Republican?
Great historical perspective and good questions. Thank you Calvin.
I never knew.
Not all was or is racially just for African American ILWU members, and other communities of color that remain in San Francisco.
"Richard", your point is clearly bogus. The white population of SF has been in decline for decades now.
more extensive shoreline, deeper waters, cheaper real estate and better communciations. Containers unloaded in Sf would have to be shipped through a busy downtown SF and then across the Bay Bridge. Likewise there are no rail facilities in SF.
Oakland has far better road and rail access - something you completely overlook and fail to mention, even though it's a critical factor. A high-density, high-value city like SF is unsuited for docks, and better suited to cruse liners, ferries and recreational boating.
And our air is much cleaner for not having all those ships, trucks and trains in our commercial downtown. It's a win-win for everyone.
can pack into a single comment?
Oakland has deep waters *ONLY* because it is constantly being dredged. San Francisco is a natural deepwater port because of the way the currents flow in the bay.
San Francisco *DOES* have rail facilities, but of course tools of big real estate have been subverting improvements which would have promoted and/or kept those blue-collar jobs in the city for decades, starting out when in the '50s it was decided not to enlarge the tunnels so that double height container carriers could go through them.
The air in San Francisco is clean because of the prevailing westerly wind. Where do you live anyway? What crap you spew.
Oh wait, of course, there's the F line. forgot about that one.
And maybe they could put containers on BART? You're making a lot of sense there.
The docks are in Oakland because it makes sense to put them in low-value reale state. SF's waterfront is too valuable.
Everyone else figured this out 50 years ago.
your position. San Francisco *has* valueable waterfront real estate being used for shipping *right* *now*. Drive down Amador Street and see some for yourself. Jackass.
Most Oakland cargo travels by truck, so the argument about trains per se is meaningless anyway. Want to debate the relative merits of shipping cargo down a narrow peninsula before it can be headed north? Fine. Just make sure we include the problems of dredging in the fragile bay ecosystem when we discuss the relative merits.
(As if the likes of you might engage in an intellectually honest debate.)
Route 25
Rail tracks running north, south and east
Rail marshalling yards (hint: takes masses of space)
Deeper waters
More room for container storage
More room for waiting trucks
No residents within a mile, so less issues with air pollution
Ditto, for noise pollution
Cheaper real estate
Cheaper real estate
Cheaper real estate.
I realize you like debating nothing just for it's own sake, but at least take me on with a topic you actually have some basic knowledge about.
SF for passenger shipping
Oakland for cargo shipping
It's really very simple.
But if you really want your blue-collar fantasy, move to Oakland. Except of course that an effete while liberal like you would be hated on there. You wouldn't last 5 minutes there.
you needlessly euchre your own argument. Your nonsense about air pollution is fucking ridiculous too.
If only because they have more need to better manage that.
Docks create a lot of air pollution. Much of that emanates from trucks idling while they wait. In fact the residents of West Oakland have been complaining about pollution from the docks, and surrounding industries that depend on the docks, for some time.
Do you really want their problems here?
Using obscenities to describe an argument you cannot refute is transparent. You can do better. Or, at least, I hope you can.
They don't have deeper waters. They dredge. Every time they dredge toxics such as arsenic and mercury are released into the bay. That's why fish caught from the bay are dangerous to eat.
As for air pollution, you are now contradicting your previous assertion that pollution isn't a problem because the port is "a mile away" from residential areas. I guess that not being a "effete liberal" yourself, you don't regard the communities in West Oakland as meritorious of that sort of concern. Obscenities indeed.
And no, I'm not saying there's no pollution at all. I'm saying it is better for pollution to happen is less populated areas.

The End Days and do you ascend with or without your physical body? (Part One)
The title for this two-part article contains basic questions often asked of 'Light workers' by newcomers to the Ascension Process Knowledge. The answers received by newcomers vary and would depend very much upon just how disenchanted the 'Light worker / Spiritual Teacher' had or had not become. After several frustrating years of waiting in vain to 'Fill with Light' and then 'Zoom' up to the 'Fifth' it may be forgivable to feel a little 'put out'. This is especially true for those who previously had 'channelled' authoritative forecasts for exactly when the 'Zooming-up to the 'Fifth' would commence. That was the stage when some 'Light workers / Spiritual Teachers' began to look for less definite, more complex meanings to replace the simplicity contained in the Ascension Process knowledge. We must never confuse the word 'simplicity' (which means easy to understand) with the similar sounding word 'simplistic' (which means making unrealistically simple judgements or analyses).
Weary and longing to go home as we all are, it would be unrealistic for any individuals to regard the ascension process as an escape. For example, as an escape from a largely passive and unaware mankind that through inaction is seemingly bent upon allowing planetary suicide. Equally it would be unrealistic to ignore the possibility that because 'Old Testament' Biblical 'End Days' prophecies were made so very long ago the 'End Days' referred to could be with us now. There are massive and accelerating physical changes taking place in and on Planet Earth that you won't be told about on your TV newscasts. You won't be told because according to national leadership always-current theories you (yes YOU) would panic and then run amok, shrieking through the streets. With the freedom gained on Internet such detailed information is available to each individual adult if he or she cares to seek for it. For those with the resources it is then possible to positively and widely network the information (for example this article) to those that want it but have no access to Internet.
Another 'End Days' prophecy declared that mankind would become separated into the sheep and the goats. Not surprisingly, priestly sermons on the subject of 'End Days' always favour an appointed role of sheep for their listening congregations, as if it is not quite respectable to be freethinking, individualistic goats, as are we, Yvonne and David, of the Ascension Support Team. Have no doubts, the separating is definitely taking place and people are not waiting for a benevolent shepherd to do it for them. The urge towards sheep-like leaning of the masses upon leaderships is rapidly being replaced by the disillusionment and disenchantment of countless numbers of individuals. These are people who have been forced to notice and think for self.
The increasingly rapid melting of the world's glaciers and of the icecaps, noticeably rising sea levels, and 'freak' weather conditions, pollution and rapid dwindling of planetary resources has swiftly become the permanent norm. This has become increasingly obvious to many folk despite leadership hollow reassurances to the contrary. Scientists internationally have proved that none of these are 'freak' conditions that will be back to normal next month, what we have is here to stay. Equally obvious to many is the fact that global tilts or Atlantis-type submergence of continents would not be needed to bring modern civilised living, as we know it, to a halt. This would be easily achieved with just a few inches of polluted water covering very wide areas, water with nowhere to drain away to between each high tide. Leaderships in the past have always limited their thinking and their planning to fit into their current term of office, or at best the length of their individual physical life spans.
Really no serious thought has ever been given to problems set in the distant future. Unfortunately for current leaderships the distant future containing those massive problems has arrived. It's too late and they don't know what to do, hence the hollowness of their reassurances. So where are the sheep to turn for guidance, and what will they do when they don't receive it from their leaders?
Another question any 'Beloved Earthlings' might ask is," What on earth has all this got to do with Ascension?" The answer is that it has everything to do with ascension because sheep-like non-thinking has to end before thoughts of individual man's real purpose could enter the scene. To make the point here's a ridiculous example from my own life. From my birth onwards I have always been left-handed. When I was a young schoolboy in wartime England, my headmaster genuinely believed that enforced ambidexterity would screw up my head. As a result throughout my life left-handed I have had to live in a world designed for a right-handed race. Nearly everything from a can-opener to the layout of piano keys, the layout of dinner table cutlery, the shoulder used to 'shoulder arms' in the Royal Navy, even the slope of the pen and the left to right direction used to write a letter, all is designed for right-handed people. Quite naturally right-handed people take their right-handed world for granted because they were born into it and never have to give it conscious thought, for them it just is. For left-handed me, I have always had to give it conscious thought, and to find different ways to use and to do things. No complaints because this has added a richness to my life by discovering that there are many ways of doing things and thinking about things, not just the one, generally taken for granted, way.
Exactly the same applies for mankind. Whilst he and she unthinkingly rely upon leadership, and live in, and take for granted without conscious thought, a safe secure physical world, knowledge of the ascension process would always seem to be irrelevant to the life-styles of leaders and of the led. Even for many of the new-agers that we have met, for them ascension is just an interesting intellectual topic for group discussions between the non-committed. But Ascension Process knowledge has to become far more than an intellectual exercise. It has to also become a self-gained intuitive 'knowing' for every member of mankind. The only way this could possibly be achieved will be when leaders and led may no longer take anything for granted about their lives. This is happening now at an accelerating pace. Sooner rather than later circumstances will compel our leaders to admit that they have no solutions to the enormous environmental and ecological problems that should have been tackled by previous leaderships several decades ago. Always haunted by the future 'panic of the masses in the streets' theory, politicians worldwide have now declared war upon 'terrorists'. This has allowed our leaderships to flood our streets with more and more SWAT-type intervention police forces that in turn will no doubt be used to control the future dreaded panic of the masses. But even this action is too late to preserve an old established system founded upon encouraged greed and selfishness, previously accepted by all as the only possible way of life.
Leaders of governments, and leaders of great religions, both always under-estimate the intelligence of those they lead. Everything has always been carefully conspired to keep people in a state of passive unawareness, but that doesn't mean that those unaware people are also unintelligent. It does mean that when awareness dawns they will be very annoyed with their leaders but also annoyed with themselves. Of course some would panic, but most normal and intelligent people will work together in complete harmony just as they always have when any catastrophe strikes mankind. What about us teachers of ascension knowledge? Really we could say that all of these years of light working have been a practice run. The real light work amongst unaware people has yet to begin and it is vital for Ascension light workers to be very clear about what they are to teach.
So now we come to the second question contained in our title. Do we ascend with or without our physical body? The answer is 'with' if we achieve the ascended-being state while still in the physical. For this to be an acceptable statement we must all learn to think of the human body as far more than a collection of organs, blood vessels, nerves, flesh and bones that non-physical 'Me' via mind steers along via a physical brain. Shortly we'll enlarge upon this. If we don't achieve the ascended-being state during a physical lifespan it means that we have more to learn to bring us up to that state. At the end of that lifespan instead we return our loaned physical body to Mother Earth and non-physical we return to the energy power-level of the astral vortex that we have achieved in total previously during our many reincarnations. This may be a very high power-level because we all have been working at it for a very long time. Please don't be fooled by the appearance or behaviour of those around you now. They just like you were born with blank sheet minds. They will only realise who they really are when each returns to his or her achieved astral power-level, or when light workers while in the physical trigger realisation in them.
Our achieved astral power-level may be very high, but when we return to it we then realise why we were in the physical. We then realise what is required to be able to move beyond the astral physical pendulum-existence. It will require a personal dedicated effort to complete our learning process next time we are born with blank-sheet minds into classroom Earth. It is whilst we are on the astral that we plan our physical futures, with not being fooled next time, clearly in mind. It is no wonder that it takes so many reincarnations to achieve progress. Each time we return our intelligence as individuals becomes swamped and moulded by the already swamped and moulded intelligence of those already in the physical. So in the physical we unknowingly face our own pre-set plans, and on the astral we use our intelligence to try to find ways of not becoming swamped and moulded next time. Obviously for this life you reading this article managed to find a way.
Really this is all about non-physical, individualised intelligence learning to understand and use its intelligence to control its thoughts, its emotions, its fears, and its physical body especially whilst surrounded by the confusion of others. In this way the learnt control becomes an integral part of non-physical self. So why is this self-taught control such a vital facture of the ascension process? The clue to the answer is held in our reference to energy power-levels. Each of us (whether we realise the fact or not) is learning how to control energy and flows of energy. Here we will enlarge upon the illusion we think of as physical existence, and in particular, the physical human body. Ascension Process light-workers must come to grips with that familiar phrase 'All is energy'. What does it really mean? How will you explain it's meaning clearly and simply to a new seeker?
It means exactly that. 'All is energy' and it could only be energy from our Creator because for now we are dependent parts of our Creator's Creation. Scientists have proved that physical matter is really very real energy. An incoming flow of energy has been compelled to structure itself into sub-atomic energy particles that in turn have been controlled to combine together to build the structure of atoms. The atoms structured from this very real same energy then combine to structure our familiar physical existence. This includes the structure of our physical body and the structure of the coarse physical sensory organs through which we observe this physical dimension. Throughout this process there is no doubt that this intelligently controlled flow of incoming energy, from our Creator, is very real. The existence of this intelligent control is also very real. Logically this must mean that the existence of non-physical intelligence is in no way dependent upon the prior existence of physical matter. The physical illusion does fool us into believing we are separate and dependent upon the structures instead of dependent upon the flow of controlled energy from which the structures are built and continuously rebuilt.
If for any reason the energy flow ceased the structured-from-energy physical universe would cease to exist.
So now let's briefly study the energy flow and try to understand its relevance to our physical and spiritual ascension. The Source of the energy is the Perfect, Instantaneous Level or dimension in which all Creators exist, and this includes our Creator. Energy cannot be created or destroyed it can only be transformed or converted into some other form. This means that to create the physical universe our Creator first created a series of descending levels or waveforms through which the instantaneous-level energy is compelled to flow. Each next level has more waves than the previous level to reduce the speed (of existence) of the energy flow. These levels are known as the Angelic Hierarchy levels. In the physical individually we project our chosen self-image into an energy-flow structured as atoms that we think of as a human body. The chosen self-images of those that occupy the Angelic Hierarchy levels are projected onto the structured waveforms that the energy-flow is compelled to follow. After the energy-flow passes through the wave formed levels it then enters into and flows down the windings of a vast energy power-level transformer also made up of many levels. Each level reduces the power-level of the energy as it flows to the centre of the transformer. This transformer is known as the Astral Vortex, and when the reduced power-level energy flows to the centre of the vortex it is compelled to spin and to then enter the sub-atomic level to then be structured into spinning atoms. This entire structure has been created by our Creator's intelligence from controlled energy, and it was created for a specific purpose.
Now let us link all of this to our ascension as individual human beings. In the very beginning to enter physical existence life force had to be greatly reduced in power-level to avoid causing damage to the much lower power-level required to maintain the energy-structured existence of a physical dimension. To achieve this dormant life force had to descend from our Creator, through all the wave-formed energy levels. It then had to be reduced in power-level as it travelled to the centre of the vortex to await a suitable entry into existence amid atoms. Next the life force began its long, painful, physical / astral pendulum climb up to the human individual intelligent 'I am' level. We must remain flexible enough to not become trapped into unquestioning belief in the Biblical, or the 'Establishment' versions, of the origins of mankind. The entry of the dormant non-physical life force, and its climb to the human aware 'I am' conscious level could have begun at any time. It could also have begun at any suitable life-supporting locations during the long, long history of our exploding, 'Big Bang' (temporary) physical universe. Maybe the climb began here on Earth. Maybe the climb began long ago elsewhere in the universe, and maybe humans were brought to Earth by extraterrestrials. Though rich food for conjecture it doesn't really matter from whence we came. What does matter is to where we are meant to be going?
Achieved spiritual evolvement on its own allows each of us to attain even higher levels of the astral vortex between each sojourn in the physical. All is energy and so we must also think of the same astral vortex in its role of energy power-level transformer. This means that ongoing spiritual evolvement is the same thing as increasing our capacity to exist on increasingly higher power-levels of the same energy flow. In one sense this means that each of us is slowly, life after life, ascending the astral vortex (fourth dimension) to eventually merge with our higher selves in the fifth dimension. To ascend above the fifth dimension requires each of us to be merged with our higher self and then be re-united with our twin flame (when he or she also has ascended to the fifth dimension). But bear in mind that throughout this entire process our existence as individuals is totally dependent upon that controlled flow of energy borrowed from our Creator. The Creator's great plan requires each of us to eventually become no longer dependent on that energy flow. This is why we choose to return again and again to physical existence regardless of how high our achieved level is on the astral. Our experiences amid the physical illusion teach us much about harmony and balance, and learning from our mistakes. Those same experiences and mistakes also delay our progress in learning our real lesson, which is to learn how to control energy…… In Part two we will combine the questions contained in the title of this article
The End Days and do you ascend with or without your physical body? (Part Two)
Our Creator doesn't create energy. The intelligence of our Creator simply uses, controls, converts, and creates from the limitless uncontrolled energy that already exists on the Perfect (instantaneous) Level. To meet our Creator as a friend and an independent equal means that the Perfection Level is our ultimate destination, hence our needs to learn the lesson of energy control. Already we have learnt how to control our structured-from-energy physical body. As humans we are learning much too slowly how to control the same energy flow in the form of our thoughts and emotions. The lesson to be learnt from separateness in the physical is the need of each of us to have the freedom of our own space in which to creatively express our individual uniqueness. In the physical this is a difficult lesson because to learn it we have to first see through the illusion of grief at the departure to the astral of our beloved ones. We have to learn it because when each of us in our own timing reaches the perfection level each of us adult creators will require our own space to express our individual creative uniqueness, as does our parent Creator.
Now let's combine the questions in our title. What if End Days predictions are correct, Global tilts, wide scale grinding and heaving of tectonic plates, un-breathable atmosphere, tidal waves, in fact the worldwide catastrophe scenario towards which current conditions seem to be leading us?
To be of the most use in such extraordinary circumstances where would light workers in the physical fit in to the ascension process? Each of us exists in our borrowed, structured-from-energy, physical body. The energy can only maintain its illusionary physical structure whilst our Creator's intelligence controls the speed of existence and the power-level of the energy flow. Meanwhile our ongoing astral / physical pendulum existence hasn't been wasted because our achieved energy power-level climb on the astral is reflected each time we are in the physical. Each of us then finds in the physical that our non-physical intelligence is able more and more to raise the power-level of the energy of which our currently borrowed physical body is structured.
Given enough time and awareness each of us would increase the energy power-level of our body until the energy could no longer remain structured. Ascension is all about gaining and learning how to use, this control. In the past normally anyone who gained this control in the physical would have also achieved a high enough energy power-level to rise above the astral vortex. We have the Ascended Masters' reassurances that light workers will be guided to the right locations to where they should be. But have we misinterpreted their meaning? If the scenario of widespread catastrophe, destruction and physical death arrives countless unaware people would suddenly find themselves body-less. Realistically in a worst-case scenario this also would include many light workers. So maybe the right location for many fully aware, self-confident light workers would also be amongst all of those unaware and bewildered folks newly arrived in the Interlife Zone between physical and astral? If so this would be a pre-planned part of those light workers' chosen soul plans. Naturally for light workers this raises another important question. Is it possible to ascend if you have already lost your physical body? Once again the answer is yes, if you have already achieved a high enough energy power-level on the astral.
This sounds like a contradiction until you give it thought. By the time you have achieved a very high, energy power- level on the astral you will also have been teetering on the brink of your physical ascension.
In the physical with conscious awareness the lesson is to learn to control energy, and as the lesson is being learnt the power-level of the structured energy of your current physical body gradually rises. The emotional blockages that seekers are urged to clear these are really energy flow blockages that prevent your body's energy power-level from rising. They are like heavy sandbags in the basket of a hot air balloon. Life after life we return with the intention to dump the sandbags, but because our blank sheet minds become swamped on arrival instead we tend to increase the load of ballast. This happens simply because we were unaware of what we should have been learning.
Eventually as in this present life we realise what we are here to learn and we set out to consciously learn the lesson. The balloon is straining to ascend and when the last sandbag is dumped the balloon will ascend because it cannot remain on the ground. It is the same with the energy power-level of your physical body. The effect of learning the lesson actually increases the energy power-level of your non-physical intelligence. In turn because at the time you exist in a physical body the power-level of its structured energy is also raised to the point where it cannot remain in physical existence. If you physically died just before this stage was reached your borrowed body with its increased power level would be returned to Mother Nature. Non-physical you would be on the astral with the lesson almost learnt. With full awareness you could then continue the lesson by learning to raise the reduced power level of the energy flow as it passes through you on its way to the centre of the Astral Vortex. You see the greatest barrier to the ascension of human beings is unawareness span~
Whilst we remain as dependent parts of the Creator's Creation everything we achieve will be achieved by using energy borrowed from our parent Creator even our ascension to the ascended masters' level. The whole point of our original entry into the physical / astral, pendulum existence was to and is to learn to control energy. To begin our climb the energy had to be reduced so that its power-level was always slightly below the greatly reduced power-level of the dormant life force. This ensured that the structured form of the energy, relative to the life force, would always be controllable by, and whilst, the life force evolved to the individual human 'I am' level.`
Below the thinking human level in the physical the life force is in its infancy and must rely upon the guidance of Mother Nature in the form of instinct if it is to begin to learn the lesson of energy control. For this to be possible the energy flow had to be structured so that relative to the dormant unaware infant life force the structured energy (atoms) was rendered stationary, rather like toy, building bricks in a nursery. Then as the non-physical life force began to evolve it was instinctively able to combine more and more of the toy energy-bricks (atoms) into more complex designs to keep pace with its own evolvement. . Once it had evolved to the individual human level life force was never intended to remain in the physical universe. Wondrous and vast though the physical universe is it is as nothing compared to what awaits us when we ascend out of our cosy nursery, physical existence.
At the human level each individual is capable of using intelligence to fully understand the true, structured-energy, matrix nature of his or her physical body. He or she, from personal experience, knows the profound effect that both, controlled, and uncontrolled, energy flows of thought and emotion have upon his or her body. Rather like children that are afraid of the unknown, mankind has always allowed his and her curiosity to become distracted and walled in by a ring of fear. As a result mankind will gladly think about anything other than the next stage of mankind's evolution. At the human level each of us has the potential to be a unique, individual, creative intelligence. Human beings should no longer need the illusionary safety of the herd mentality with its built-in judgmental rules of self-devaluation, competitiveness, and drab conformity demanded by the lowest common denominators of intelligence (Here I unblushingly admit that again my left-handedness is showing!). Unfortunately countless numbers of highly intelligent people, go to their graves, physical life span after life span, without the faintest clue of what it was all about, or why they had physically existed. Obviously this would greatly delay their astral climb regardless of previously made soul plans. During this present life span many of us have learnt why we are here and what it is all about, and we have made our ascension the aim and purpose of our lives. This means that no matter whether we (for example: Yvonne and David or You reading this) ascend during this physical life span, or whether in watery 'End Days' Tectonic Plate terms we 'shuffle off of this mortal coil' always, wherever we are, Ascension and the spreading of ascension knowledge will be the aim and purpose of our existence.
The limitations of physical existence have become increasingly more obvious to growing numbers of people. Each day via our clever technology more and more of the wonders and mysteries of our physical universe are revealed to us. In parallel with these revelations our intelligence tells us that due to the limitations of our physical bodies we could never witness these wonders at first hand. It is as if our intelligence as individual human beings feels trapped and stifled because it has outgrown our human bodies. There is a secret longing felt throughout mankind for something to change even though many may not be able to imagine what the change could be for which they long.
Why is it taking so long? The bonds of ingrained fear of change stifle imagination so that we witness the manifestation of this longing channelled into the trivialised form of computer-enhanced fantastic science fiction films, each with its liberal dose of mysticism. We observe this same longing expressed with computer games that allow the participants to enjoy super powers without moving a muscle. Alternatively we observe a general urge to obtain the 'newest' and the 'latest' novelties in every walk of daily life. We should allow our curiosity and our imagination to tear through those bonds of fear. As unique individuals we would then know the joy and the freedom to be gained from following our own trains of thought wherever they lead us.
Surely this is better than always staying on the fence and playing it safe by relying upon and quoting from the offered thoughts of this or that latest expert or new age guru? This applies especially to seekers of truth on the path who soon will be called upon to offer clear and easily understandable guidance to a great many confused and disenchanted intelligent people. These will be people for whom the illusion of security will have crumbled, and to whom the contents of their future will suddenly have become very relevant.
What is thought? It is not Matter, nor Spirit. It is not a Thing, but a Power and Force. The spoken words, being mere sounds, may vanish into thin air, and the written ones, mere marks, be burned, erased, destroyed but the THOUGHT itself lives still, and must live on forever.
Now there's a thought to ponder on!
Love and laughter to all on the ascension path
From David and Yvonne Brittain
Those gaily painted horses,
Whirled me around and around
I was spun in aimless circles,
To their jingle, jangle sound.
Up and down they danced me,
Whilst I had to blindly cling.
No time to see the fairground,
No time to see a thing.
Each horse was a named emotion,
Each took me for a ride.
Until I grew tired of circles,
So instead I moved inside.
To my carousel's still centre,
There to quietly observe,
The rush and whirl of my horses,
Or the fairground my carousel serves.
Written by David Brittain
A final thought:
Emotions are supposed to enrich, not rule your thoughts.
Understand your emotions and you will understand your
Secret doubts and fears. Released from fear you are free.
Free to declare,
"Yes, at last I am in charge of me"
With love and laughter
David and Yvonne Brittain.

Im starting to get it...The battery charging..Its all energy...Controlling its use consciously......Learning how to channel it with love and wisdom...So much a mystery...Its all the same energy?.....This is sparking something deep...many thanks, please keep posting.
Albert Pike was one of the most evil demonic men of the 19 century! What is he doing even being quoted on this post??
Dear Charles,
I do apologise as seemingly the source of the quotation obviously caused you to feel offended, and I do hope this didn't put you off the content of the actual article. Regardless of the character of the source of which I have no knowledge, I felt what was quoted was true and therefore valid. Two plus two equals four, this is a quotable truth no matter whether uttered by Mother Theresa or Adolf Hitler.
I repeat I had no wish or intention to cause offence.
Best wishes
David Brittain
This was beautifully written..... and its gives me much thought to ponder. I absolutely
understand and resonate with his thoughts! Thank you for sharing this!!
Hi Victoria,
It's good that you've made contact, and I'm delighted that the article has widened your horizons. The temptation for many is to sink into a morass of spiritual/psychic/ mystical goo that carefully avoids delving into why we as individual intelligent and aware beings exist in a physical universe that is basically a matrix composed of a continuous flow of structured energy. Alternatively our scientists offer us a scenario of life force totally dependent on physical matter appearing by freak accident in a physical universe that's existence they can't explain. Established religions demand unquestioning faith of their followers and that as 'children of God' we will always be placed at the bottom level of the heap just below the priestly level. Personally I firmly believe in a non-physical highly intelligent creator of which we all are his/her children, but then we must ask what our creator parent expects of us his/her children? Do we remain as ever dependent children or do we eventually evolve to adulthood? Either this would be our very limited idea of adulthood, or it is what our creator regards as adulthood, if the latter this can only mean we are meant to eventually evolve into creator gods in our own individual right. These seem to be large intimidating thoughts but they are only intimidating because our mind-conditioned roll models and beloved elders have in turn, mind-conditioned us to devalue self. Oh God! I'm on my hobby horse again!
If you feel you'd like to delve deeper now you've started do feel welcome to visit my own website to access my articles and available e-books that explain the ascension process in greater detail at: www.ascensionsupportteam.com
Meanwhile feel free to remain in contact with any questions or thoughts.
Best wishes on your path
David and Yvonne Brittain
I too found it curious to quote from an avowed Satanist whose written out plans for 3 world wars have seemingly been followed to the "T" in order to bring about a Satanic global rule. I mean no offense, just curious and reminded of how false light can seamlessly blend with true light to our demise if we don't stay alert.
Blessings to all, Bruce
Dear Bruce,
I can only refer you to my recent apologetic reply to Charles Magus. I have no knowledge or interest in Albert Pike. The quote was sent to me and seemed apt and was never intended to give offense. I hope this didn't put you off the actual article in which I quoted no one but myself.
Best wishes from
David Brittain
I think it is I who should apologize for being somewhat brash in my response, my heart knew by your article your words were pure.
But Albert Pike, c'mon, LOL !!
I am a little surprised you never heard of him, it just shows you keep your mind and heart on the purer aspects of life.
Blessings, Bruce
Hi David,
I found your reply quite alarming and wondered if you received this information psychically or if you culled it from Internet sources, or if in fact you have personally seen these hidden locations and inhuman activities that you have vividly described? I heartily agree wih your assurance that our Creator has the best in store for All of us.
Best wishes
David Brittain

Happy Monday morning everyone! I hope you found time for some fun and enjoyable activities over the weekend.
I had another great weekend of teaching some marvelous classes with awesome people. They all did an outstanding job even if they didn't think they did. I think we are all very critical of our own work and at times fail to step back and see the great works we actually create. I always try and remind my students, it's just paper and ink, and no one has to see it if you don't want to show them. There are times when my trash can in my craft room is just filled to the brim with coloring I didn't like or with new techniques I'm trying that there is no salvaging! It happens to everyone and no matter how great you think someone's else work is, we all started in the same place. We all had the very first time we picked up a marker or a pencil or a pen or whatever tool it may be. If you just persevere, you will find yourself in a better spot than when you started:)
Now having said all of that...here is my card for today using one of the new Whimsy Stamp rubber stamps
This chica is one of the new stamps from Jo Davies (A Time for Tea) called Birthday Present. I probably should've made an indoor scene for her, but hey, I guess she is walking to the party this time! What I really wanted to play with was some marker coloring on watercolor paper and doing the background with Inktense pencils and Opaque white paint. I see all kinds of room for improvement and oh I definitely need some more practice with the Inktense pencils. However, it was fun to play around on the watercolor paper to see how the markers would react and how far the ink travels versus my regular Riley and Borden marker paper. I definitely had to think more about how close I was putting the ink to the lines than I normally do, but by the end I kind of got the hang of it.
Most of the image was colored with with alcohol based markers (Shin Han and Copics) and then touches of wink of stella.
Thanks for swinging by today and enjoy the rest of your week!

For the second time in six weeks, Apple yesterday delivered a firmware fix designed to stop 27-inch iMac screens from flickering.
Initial reports from users who installed the update were mixed, with more saying that the flickering continued than saying Apple 's second try had resolved their iMac's flaky display.
[ Discover the key Mac and Apple tech trends for business users. Read InfoWorld's Technology: Mac newsletter. ]
"The 27-inch iMac Display Firmware Update 1.0 updates the display firmware on 27-inch iMac computers to address issues that may cause intermittent display flickering," Apple said in a curt description of Monday's fix .
In late December, Apple released a 27-inch iMac graphics firmware upgrade that was also pitched as a fix for flickering. Most users that reported the results of that update, however, said that it had not solved their problems .
Somewhat the same reaction was evident late Monday, although only a handful of users had posted their findings on the enormous support thread dedicated to flickering screens. "The second firmware didn't help me either," reported "dxgriffiths" on the 1,600-message thread. "Still getting little dropouts and surges in brightness every few minutes."
"I just installed the update, as it was restarting I had 2x blackscreens happen, which had not happen[ed] on this machine only the occasional flicker," added "Leisas4" on the same thread an hour later. "Not a good sign."
Others, however, said that the update had done the job. "Firmware seems good to me," said "Bamtan" just after midnight on Tuesday.
Display issues have plagued Apple's 27-inch iMac desktop computers since the new machines debuted Oct. 20 . Users have reported cracked screens, a yellow tint to the display, black banding and, of course, the irritating flickers.
The problems prompted Canadian Web developer Scott Pronych to collate the complaints on a specially built site, and reportedly was the reason Apple slapped a two-week shipping delay on 27-inch iMacs in mid-December 2009. Eleven days ago, Apple increased the delay between ordering and shipping a 27-inch iMac to three weeks, again raising rumors that the California computer maker was withholding new machines as it tried to figure out the cause of the various display problems.
