I am still reviewing through this thread, lots of good stuff.
What you need to know is that multiple national governments & the house of rothschild & rockefeller are in collusion with the triple dna helix aliens - the greys; who are biologically immortal / xenomorphic space faring drones.
I have see the technical specs - geneva switzerland from 1993 for splicing a third dna strand onto our di-strand dna helix ((which may afford biological immortality))
It's a long story and complicated, these are not the good guys though and this is the wrong pathway.
The good guys are the ones aligned with the original intended blueprint of 'Ael ...
It has to do with Base Parameter Sets (Base 8 & Base 12) & Planetary Rulership / Guardianship - as well as dual infinity processing and triple infinity (888).
You have to eat your cactus, mushrooms, and salvia (have no experience with DMT) ...
There is information underlying the reptilian (orion-andromedan) tinkering / imprinting - dealing with Alpha Centauri, Sirius & Antares.

very interesting..the Nobody has had extensive battles with the greys..of course the Nobody cannot be beaten though so they retreated for a time recently.
And what you say about the psychedelics is very important as well.
I was visited many times by Greys. All these Christians say that all you have to do is banish them in the name of Jesus. That's so wrong and distorted. Start loving them. lmao. Once I did that, they never came back..though I started getting visitations from some other ETs.
Shit, now I sound like a fruit loop, lol. But, it is part of my personal experiences, so be it.
They have no ability to feel love and in fact can't stand it being expressed to them. So your story makes sense. We're all loopy here, or maybe we are the most sane...shrug.
I think a lot of this gets confusing because of language. It is not that they do not feel love, they are just much, much different from us. Love encompasses so much.
They do not feel empathy that much. Their energy system is much, much different than ours, which makes them uncomfortable to be around.
That being said, the beings we call Greys are actually multiple species that we lump into one species. Which is unfair and wholly inaccurate. That is why it is best not to judge from afar, or judge others without ever experiencing the others personally.
This is where our faults of bias, beliefs and preconceived notions have tainted our thoughts so badly, that we cannot relate to Truth, we relate to the three above.
It is a shame, and these things must be overcome if anyone wishes to truly see reality as it is, not as they want or think it may be.
Hard road to travel, that one. But, it can be done.

After weeks of interviewing potential candidates to replace her ministry's director- general, Prof. Ronni Gamzu, Health Minister Yael German decided on Wednesday to choose an inside candidate – Prof. Arnon Afek.
Afek, a 51-year-old pathologist who studied medicine at the Hebrew University Medical Faculty and medical administration at Ben-Gurion University, has been in charge of the ministry's medical administration for some 17 months.
Before coming to the ministry, he was the deputy director of Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer.
He serves in the reserves of the IDF as a colonel in the Medical Corps and is a faculty member of Tel Aviv University's Sackler School of Medicine. He is married to Dr. Limor Afek, a dentist, and the father of two.
German, who had been seeking a suitable female candidate for the job – which would have been a first for the ministry – but did not manage to find one willing to take it, said that "the challenges facing the health system are huge. When recommendations of the [German] committee to strengthen the public health system are made and adopted, we will continue to make new reforms and continue with the ministry's accomplishments in many fields.
"Prof. Afek comes from inside the system and is one of its leaders, so the management continuity and vision will continue without shock waves to the system."
German thanked Gamzu, who was in office for more than four years and will apparently return to Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center and work as a gynecological surgeon.

SAN ANTONIO — Nebraska coach Tim Miles couldn't fix the cold shooting or sloppy passes. Miles, the Big Ten coach of the year, did see one thing he could correct: an overlooked shot-clock error.
Nope. These Huskers weren't even going to get that right.
Miles instead was ejected while trying to alert officials to the mistake, and 11th-seeded Nebraska soon joined its coach in exiting the NCAA tournament, falling to sixth-seeded Baylor 74-60 yesterday in the second round of the West Regional.
"I'm thinking, 'That's a correctible error.' That is something we can go correct, and the official came over and T'd me up," Miles said of getting his second technical foul. "I said, 'It's the shot clock; it never ran.' I was trying to look for the shot-clock operator, and I'm assuming it's the guy that just dropped his head."
The Cornhuskers have lost their opening game in all seven NCAA tournament appearances. This loss punctuated a frustrating end to an otherwise-fabulous season for a program that has long been an afterthought at football-crazed Nebraska.
But basketball success is expected at Baylor (25-11), which has won 11 of 13 after a dismal start to the Big 12 season. The Bears didn't make last year's tournament but rolled to the Elite Eight in 2010 and 2012.
Now, they are surging again.
"The past Elite Eights that we did have were good runs, but this year, we're just looking at it as checking it one game at a time," said Cory Jefferson, who scored 16 points and was with Baylor for both of those trips. "We had ours today; the next one is on Sunday."
Baylor will play third-seeded Creighton on Sunday for a spot in the Sweet 16.
Terran Petteway scored 18 points for Nebraska (19-13), which hadn't played on this stage since 1998.
Nebraska missed nine of its first 10 shots, labored through a nine-minute scoring drought, and then lost its coach midway through the second half.
The officials tossed Miles after ringing him up for a second technical foul. He first erupted after Petteway, the Big Ten's leading scorer, picked up his fourth foul just after Nebraska cut its deficit to single digits.
Two minutes later, Miles was gone.
"I didn't want an unfair competitive advantage. The same contact here should be the same contact there," Miles said.
But he also didn't make excuses.
"Officiating is not what did us in," he said.

Norton, Mary E
Purpose of review: Recent advances in genetic technology have substantial implications for prenatal screening and diagnostic testing. The past year has also seen important changes in recommendations surrounding the genetic counseling that occurs in the provision of such testing.
Recent findings: Multiple screening tests for single gene disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, and structural birth defects are now routinely offered to all pregnant women. Ethnicity-based screening for single gene disorders includes Tay Sachs disease, cystic fibrosis, and hemoglobinopathies. Recent discussions have involved, not only additional disorders that warrant screening, but a re-evaluation of the paradigm of selecting disorders for population-based screening. Testing for chromosomal abnormalities has seen the introduction of first-trimester screening, as well as strategies to improve detection through sequential testing. Changes in recommendations for screening compared with diagnostic testing, and a move away from maternal age-based dichotomizing of testing, have had major implications for provision of genetic counseling by providers of prenatal care.
Summary: Advances in genetic testing have resulted in tremendous benefits to patients, and challenges to providers. New approaches to education and counseling are needed to assure that all patients receive a complete and balanced review of their prenatal genetic-testing options.

"charming property with stunning views"
The owners welcomed us and were really helpful and friendly during our stay. The gite was well equipped and we were able to enjoy the pool during the daytime which was a great size for our children to build confidence in the water. The local area had good amenities and lots of country lanes for walking. A relaxing, peaceful holiday.

Travelling (report/upcoming): Sheffield, Athens, and Sofia
Earlier this month I spent a few days in Sheffield, a city which I had visited only twice before and never for such a lengthy stay. I was participating in the Open Sourcing Festivals project, a Pixel network venture that seeks to open up the process of creating education-based cultural festivals. The idea is we will create a 'festival toolkit', all leading up to a festival in Sheffield one year from now. We were meeting at Access Space, the Sheffield partner and host of the forthcoming festival. Access Space is a brilliant concoction, existing somewhere between community computer lab, democratic art space, and social pratice centre; we were mostly spending time with James Wallbank and Jake Harries, two fantastic organisers who never stop moving and bring a tireless enthusiasm to everything they do.
It was fun to see what was happening at Access Space and elsewehere in Sheffield, and I also enjoyed reconnecting with the United Kingdom - though I never lived in England, I spent 2005-2008 in Glasgow and in some perverse way, the UK feels more like 'home' than anywhere else does. Access Space runs events constantly - we gave presentations of our individual projects in what was billed as the "Pixelache Nano Festival", and also got to experience an Open Platform event. Open Platform is curated regularly by Suzanne Palzer and crams the entire audience into a way-too-small foyer for 10 minute performances which are supposed to address technology, but without using it. The performaces (by Jake, Susanne, Liz Hall, Richard Bolam, Kate Sicchio, James Price and others) were fun, absurd, and definitely not a million miles away from the types of interactions I've tried to programme at Ptarmigan.
I was hosted by old pals Jon Marshall and Fiona Kennedy, who run the briliant Singing Knives label and have played in various bands and projects such as the Hunter Gracchus, Roman Nose, and Vampire Blues. These two are keeping a spirit of out/side music alive in Sheffield, becoming a real rallying point with their generosity and energy. I brought my viola and played a bit with Jon, Jon Collin (who visited from Stockport), Steve Chase and the great Luke Poot. Most importantly, I realised how long it's been since I've been in a lifestyle so focused on musical collaboration, and came back to Tallinn (where Ptarmigan is again hosting regular open improv sessions) with a renewed vigor.
Next month I'm heading to Athens for Art-Athina, where the AIM network will be holding a meeting and I'll be moonlighting/performing as staff of one of the AIM network galleries. June brings me to Sofia for the Water Tower Art Festival, where I will be leading some discussions around the theme of burnout and reinvention, entitled 'Why care?' The theme of Water Tower this year is 'Temporary protected spaces' which is on my mind now as I begin to wind down Ptarmigan's operations and look towards potential new directions. (Speaking of Ptarmigan, we'll have our summer programme announced this week.) I'm looking foward to spending some time in the South and encourage anyone to get in touch if you are in Athens or Sofia.

Riga durational dialogues #4 and 5: Love Enqvist and Jonas Büchel
The last two interviews are combined into one file, and unfortunately we were limited by time and couldn't keep going. Love Enqvist is a Stockholm-based artist who was coming to Talinn to lead the Diggers and Dreamers workshop, and was willing to come to Riga a bit early to participate in this project. Our conversation began from his work researching intentional communities, and began with a discussion about utopianism and communities in general before getting into further flung topics. Jonas Büchel was a very pleasant addition to the day's activities - the head of the Urban Institute Riga, he was recommended by the Linnalabor crew back in Tallinn and he proved to be an amazingly insightful and energetic guest who I hope to collaborate with more in the future.Read more

Cheap Politicians
Now that the National Football League has apparently learned that it can be costly to hire cheap officials, perhaps the rest of us should learn the same lesson when it comes to government officials, whose bad calls can do a lot more damage.
What do we do when we want a better car, a better home or a better bottle of wine? We pay more for it. We definitely need a lot better crop of public officials. Yet we insist on paying flea market prices for people who will be spending trillions of tax dollars, not to mention making foreign policy that can either safeguard or jeopardize the lives of millions of Americans.
Any successful engineer, surgeon, or financier would have to take a big pay cut to serve in Congress. A top student from a top law school can get a starting salary that is more than we pay a Supreme Court justice.
No doubt many, if not most, government officials are already paid more than they are worth. But the whole point of higher pay is to get better people to replace them.
We may say that we want people in Congress, the courts or the White House who have some serious knowledge and experience in the real world, not just glib tricksters who know how to pander for votes. But we don't put our money where our mouth is.
Let's face it. You're not likely to get a good suit of clothes at a flea market. And you're not likely to get the cream of the crop to go into the government when they would have to accept a big drop in income to do so.
There are always going to be warm bodies available to fill the jobs in government. We have lots of warm bodies there now. There will also always be some people who are willing to sacrifice their family's economic security and standard of living, in order to get their hands on the levers of power.
These are precisely the kinds of people whom it is dangerous to have holding the levers of power.
Can we afford to pay members of Congress, the President of the United States, and federal judges the kinds of money that would enable us to tap a far wider pool of far more knowledgeable people with successful real world experience? We can't afford not to. Cheap politicians are expensive in their reckless spending of tax money. It is the ultimate in being penny-wise and pound-foolish.
To get some idea of the cost, ask yourself: How much would it cost to pay every member of Congress, the president, and every federal judge a million dollars a year?
There are 535 members of Congress, so a salary of a million dollars a year would cost $535 million, or just over half a billion dollars. There are 188 federal appellate judges and one President of the United States. That's 189 more people, bringing the total number of people to 724, and the total cost to $724 million, at a time when people in Washington are talking trillions.
That is less than one percent of the annual cost of the Department of Agriculture. Put differently, we could pay all of these 724 officials a million dollars a year each — for an entire century — for less than it costs to run the Department of Agriculture for one year.
If we limited how long any given individual could hold office in the government — preferably one term — we could have highly knowledgeable people with real world experience in charge of taking care of the nation's business, instead of spending their time doing things to get reelected.
They would be a lot harder for special interests to bribe with campaign contributions, when high officials would face no more campaigns after getting elected. We don't need career politicians.
The best crop of public officials this country has ever had were in the generation that founded the United States of America. Most of the Founders had careers outside of politics.
Is all this a realistic prospect in the world today? Of course not! What is the most realistic prospect today is the status quo today.
But the New Deal was not a realistic prospect three years before Franklin D. Roosevelt took office. It was not a realistic prospect in 1775 that the American colonies would become an independent nation a year later. The whole point of discussing new ideas is to get people thinking about them, so that they might become realistic prospects in the future.

Riverside County sheriffâs deputies and the FBI are looking for a woman tied to a bank robbery late Tuesday afternoon, July 24, as well as two bank robberies Monday, July 23, in Moreno Valley.
The woman, dubbed the Plain Jane Bandit by the FBI, is believed on Tuesday to have robbed a US Bank branch in the 23800 block of Clinton Keith Road in Wildomar and on Monday, July 23, to have robbed the Chase Bank branch in the 14400 block of Moreno Beach Drive as well as the US Bank branch in the 12700 block of Moreno Beach.
Described as a âplain Janeâ by a witness to an earlier robbery, the FBI went with the description to give this robber her distinction moniker. She is described as 5 feet, 3 inches to 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighing 150 to 170 pounds. She is 35 to 40 years old and may be driving a silver four-door sedan with a sun roof.

Double Lives: CarlbyLadynStFreknBed©
***Special thanks to AsylumSeeker for editing this story!***
Carl dropped his briefcase inside the front door of his brownstone. On the way to his bedroom to change, he loosened his tie. He anxiously traded his Armani suit for jeans and a long-sleeved crew neck shirt he wore over a black t-shirt. Carl scrubbed his face at the bathroom sink. This had become a ritual for him as if it was an attempt to erase the public image he was forced to carry throughout the day and all the stress that this entailed.
Despite the perks and inflated self-esteem that public office afforded him, he had grown tired of maintaining the pristine image. Over the past few months, he had developed a secret life. Carl grabbed his leather jacket and fled his house.
He drove his luxury car to the nearby parking garage. After parking in the usual spot, he exited the vehicle and retrieved the motorcycle helmet from his trunk. Driving out of the garage on his motorcycle that had been parked in the next space, Carl tasted freedom as he exited the city.
By the time he reached his refuge, the lights of the motel were collecting moths. He signed in with his usual alias and paid cash for the weekend. His alias, "Greg Callahan", was the name of a childhood friend.
Once in his motel room, he peeled the crew neck shirt off the black t-shirt he was wearing. Flinging the crew neck on the back of the chair, he glanced in the mirror. He ran his hand through his brown hair wondering how much longer he could let it grow before it raised eyebrows among his constituents. He hoped this was a fictitious worry, but he knew he'd soon get a haircut rather than risk even the slightest chance of appearing incongruent with his political status. He knew public opinion could be trivially influenced, especially with the help of his opponents.
He grabbed his leather jacket and consciously left the helmet in the motel room. His destination was merely blocks away. The familiar neon glow in the window of the bar greeted him as he pulled into the parking lot. He revved the engine of the motorcycle before parking it as if to announce his arrival.
Soon after he entered the dimly lit rural bar, a petite woman approached him.
"Hi, Greg!" she said as she hugged him. "Your usual?"
Carl smiled and reciprocated the hug. "Sure thing, babe," he said. "Did Sarah come in yet?"
"Nah, not yet. She'll probably be in," the woman answered.
Carl sat at the bar as the woman busied herself getting his draft beer. It wasn't long before a tall, but thin woman entered the bar. Her deep red lipstick formed a smile as she spotted Carl. She flicked her long blonde hair from her face and slowly walked towards him as if she had been on a runway. Her black leather boots enticed Greg's stare up her shapely legs to the hem of her black miniskirt. She slid onto the barstool next to Carl.
Leaning close, she spoke softly. "Hi, baby. Did you miss me?" Sarah asked.
"Of course," he said with a flirty glint in his deep brown eyes. "May I buy you a drink?"
"Sure," she said.
Carl looked at the waitress and nodded. The waitress brought the Sarah's usual fuzzy naval.
The jukebox faithfully played a concoction of eighties rock and country music throughout the night. Carl and Sarah leaned in close as they joked and chatted against the noise of the pool table and often loud conversations between twenty-something locals. A man, who Carl recognized as a friend of Sarah's, staggered towards them.
"Hey, guys!" the man said in drunken volume and began to laugh.
"Hi, Tom," Sarah said.
"What's up?" Carl asked Tom.
"I...I..." Tom attempted to speak though each attempt was interrupted with his own laughter.
"He's a happy drunk, isn't he?" Carl said to Sarah.
"Maybe you better sit down," Sarah said as she walked over to Tom. She helped him sit at a table on the other side of the bar.
Carl wondered why Sarah struggled to walk him so far away while passing several empty seats. He figured that she didn't feel like being bothered with Tom's drunkenness tonight. When Sarah returned, Carl broached a common topic of discussion between them.
"When are you ever going to escort me back to the hotel? Every time I ask, you shoot me down. We've been meeting like this for months," Carl asked Sarah.
"Maybe I want to keep it that way," Sarah replied and looked away.
"That sounds like an insult to my sexual prowess. Do you think it would be that horrible if we slept together?"
Sarah laughed. "It's not you," she said. "So..." Sarah searched to change the subject. "How was your week?"
"Lonely," Carl said. Carl never mentioned anything about his life in the city to Sarah. He liked to keep his worlds completely separate.
Carl stroked Sarah's arm and cocked his head to the side as he looked at her face. Her complexion was slightly imperfect. What Carl assumed were a few old acne scars showed as tiny flaws through her heavy makeup. The way she wore her shimmering green eye shadow made Carl think she belonged in Vegas more than this sleepy, rural town. He thought her eyelashes must be fake, as long and thick as they were. Carl grimaced when his eyes followed the angles of her face to the dog collar-like necklace she always wore.
"Why do you always wear that collar? Do you belong to someone who I should be worried about?" Carl asked.
Sarah looked hurt. "Why? You don't like it?"
"No. It's not that. I was just curious if it had some special meaning to you."
"I just like it, okay?" Sarah replied.
"Yeah, sorry. I didn't mean nothing by it. You know, the least we could do is go back to my hotel room, get comfortable on the bed, and watch a movie or something."
"Or something? Don't you think I know what you're after?" Sarah smiled slyly.
"Honest. If you don't want to mess around, it's fine. Wouldn't it be nice to cuddle up on the bed and just hold each other while we watch a movie?"
"Yeah. It sure would," Sarah said with a sigh.
"Then let's get out of here."
"Oh, I don't know," Sarah said before taking another sip of her third drink.
"Sarah, are you scared of me?"
"No, I told you. It's not you."
"Well, I was serious when I said we don't have to do anything. I just want to relax and enjoy your company."
Sarah wanted to believe him so she reluctantly agreed to follow him to his motel. He held his motel door open for her.
"Oh, a real gentleman. Let's keep it that way," Sarah said as she entered his room.
"Okay, let's see what our movie choices are," Carl said.
He flipped through some channels and asked for Sarah's input. They settled on a romantic comedy. Sarah was lying rather stiffly on the bed. Carl lay next to her and pulled her closer to his body. As he wrapped his arms around her waist, she rested her hand on top of his.
Minutes later, Carl leaned close and kissed her. When he attempted to slide his hand downward from her waist to tease her, she held his hand. He continued to kiss her, then resumed holding her close. During the movie, he gently caressed her stomach as much as her grip on his hand would allow. He kissed her again. Their kisses became deeper and he managed to slide his hand down her lower stomach and towards her thigh. She was intensely focused on their passionate kisses. He slid his hand up her thigh and under her skirt. When he reached her panties, he felt a bulge of flesh that he was not expecting. He retracted his hand and stood from the bed.
"What?!" he yelled. "What?!" Carl was at a loss for words.
Sarah sat up and just looked at him. "I'm pre-op. I'm saving the money. Believe me, I'm as much of a woman as you have ever been with. We get along so well, and I wanted to tell you. Then, I thought maybe my friends at the bar told you. And, I mean, how do you tell someone you really like that you're technically still a man? Though I don't consider myself to be. I never have..."
"Oh, you're definitely still a man. I got that. I think you better go."
Sarah started to cry. "I'm still the same person."
"You're not who I thought you were. I think you better leave."
Sarah stood from the bed and stormed out of the room in tears. Carl locked the door and took a long, hot shower before going to bed. No matter how long he stayed in the shower, he could not wash the disgust and anxiety about what could have happened if he had been recognized while in the company of a tranny. The next morning he checked out early and rode his motorcycle through several small towns on the other side of the city.
As dusk approached, he pulled into the parking lot of a small hotel. He had passed a bar nearby. After he checked into the room, he got back on his motorcycle and drove to the bar. Once inside, he sat there and ordered a beer from the bartender.
A cute, petite blonde caught his eye. He smiled at her and she reciprocated. He picked up his beer and walked toward her. She was wearing a tight sweater and snug jeans. "No collar," he thought to himself. She continued to smile at him as he approached her. He introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm Greg."

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock
Question from Groplee
how do i play guitar with a wii remote. I know all the frets, it just only lets me play volcals?
Please help me?
Top Voted Answer
Im going to give you the benifit of the doubt and assume your not having trouble figuring out how to connect the wiimote to the plastic guitar.
So if your wondering if you can use just a wiimote without the guitar to play guitar... No. I believe GH3 was the only game to use that feature. You need a guitar controller if you want to play guitar or bass.

there's a slot in the guitar where you need to put a Wii-remote. put the wii remote in that slot and then turn it on and it should let you play guitar and bass. this worked for me and this is my first time playing guitar hero on wii.
Although what i put is for playing with the guitar, if your asking about playing with just a wii mote then you can't do it.
If your asking about playing with just a Wii Remote then no. you half to use guitar to play bass and guitar, drumset to play drums, and the Wii Remote only lets you play vocals. Guitar Hero III: Legends of rock and Aerosmith were the only ones that let you play guitar and bass with a Wiimote. GH, GH2,GH80's, GH3, and GHA were the only ones that let you use controllers for anything they had

Prophets of Science Fiction 1 Season 2012
Amazon Instant Video
1. Mary Shelley Mary Shelley set out to create a monster--along the way she created a masterpiece. In 1816, she begins stitching together a patchwork of legend, technology, and personal tragedy- giving life to her novel, Frankenstein - and the genre of science fiction.
2. Philip K. Dick Philip K. Dick lived a life straight from the pages of his mind-bending sci-fi stories. His writing inspired Blade Runner and influenced the development of robotics and law enforcement. The troubled sci-fi legend questioned the definition of reality.
3. H. G. Wells With stories like The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds, H.G. Wells established himself as a sci-fi writer of almost clairvoyant talent. But these tales of hi-tech adventure hold an ominous warning - beware the dark side of progress.
4. Arthur C. Clarke Some sci-fi storytellers are content to predict - but Arthur C. Clarke creates. His collaboration with Stanley Kubrick on 2001 predicted videophones, iPads, and commercial spaceflight. His sci-fi legacy inspires us to unveil the mysteries of the universe.
5. Isaac Asimov Isaac Asimov dreamed of a better future where robots can do mankind's dirty work. His I, Robot stories led to the creation of real-life industrial robots--and inspired generations to embrace the science and technology of a robo-friendly world.
6. Jules Verne Jules Verne is the ultimate futurist, with a legacy of sci-fi adventure stories predicting everything from fuel cell technology to viral advertising. The extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne span from the center of the Earth to the surface of the Moon.
7. Robert Heinlein Sci-fi legend Robert Heinlein is a walking contradiction. His stories address themes of patriotism but also sexual liberation and man's inability to cooperate. Heinlein's Starship Troopers and Stranger in a Strange Land continue to ask "what is…
8. George Lucas From the light sabre to the Death Star, Star Wars is one of the defining science fiction works of the later 20th century. George Lucas' imagination has inspired generations of scientists and engineers to push the envelope of technology.

The first time I wore this bracelet it broke. Luckily I noticed it right away and did not lose it. Found the broken link and tried closing it more securely. The second time I wore it the bracelet broke. I haven't worn it since. I was very disappointed as I was excited to finally own a piece of Lisa Leonard jewelry.
Recommend: Yes
I have wanted to own jewelry from Lisa Leonard for years. This past weekend I bought this bracelet and a necklace. I couldn't be happier with my choices.
Both the necklace and this bracelet are perfect for everyday wear!
Thank you, Lisa for creating beautiful pieces of jewelry for all to enjoy!
The minute I saw this bracelet I thought of my daughter:) I was so excited to finally get it but very disappointed because it broke after a couple hrs of her wearing it:( sorry Lisa Leonard but this needs to be a more sturdy product especially if its going to be worn. I was very disappointed. The links come apart. Thankfully she didn't lose it so I am going to take it to a jeweler to fix. He will weld the links together more securely because I really want her to wear it. It's a beautiful reminder to "shine for Jesus" which is something I say to all my babies right before they go off to school. I hope Lisa makes a sturdier version someday so I can buy this again for my other two daughters. Other than that it's very pretty.

Did anyone read The Economist article a week ago it said that to avoid bad "using" the internet (in different words of course)they thought it would be best to do it only using an ID name that could that way track down all about you, since you would have to give real name,address etc in order to get the ID and then use the internet. sorry i write poorly now but the idea is totally scary and worst yet, that's how it is going to probably be in the near future.
AN AMERICAN information-security firm has identified a secretive Chinese military unit as the likely source of hacking attacks against more than a hundred companies around the world. In a report made public on Tuesday, the firm, Mandiant, based in Alexandria, Virginia, said it could now back up suspicions it first reported in more qualified form in 2010.
The firm had said then the Chinese government may have authorised the hacking activity it had traced to China, but that there was "no way to determine the extent" of official involvement. In its new report, Mandiant upgrades its assessment. "The details we have analysed during hundreds of investigations convince us that the groups conducting these activities are based primarily in China and that the Chinese government is aware of them," the report said.
China's government has denied the allegations. Hong Lei, a spokesman for China's foreign ministry, said on February 19th that China has itself been a victim of cyber-attacks, and that it enforces laws that ban such activity. "Groundless criticism is irresponsible and unprofessional, and it will not help to solve the problem," he said of the Mandiant report.
According to the report, a Shanghai-based unit of the People's Liberation Army General Staff Department, known as Unit 61398, is staffed by hundreds and possibly thousands of people specially trained in network security, digital signal processing, covert communications and English linguistics. The unit's 12-storey building (pictured above) has been equipped with special fibre-optic communications infrastructure "in the name of national defence".
Mandiant said that since 2006, it has observed attacks from this unit against at least 141 companies spanning 20 major industries, including four of the seven strategic emerging industries that China has identified in its current five-year plan.
The New York Times, which hired Mandiant to investigate China-based cyber-attacks against its news operations, was the first to report on the firm's findings. Mandiant concluded that the attacks against the newspaper had come from a different Chinese source.
In the case of the attacks described in the new report, Mandiant said it could not prove that the attacks came from within the military building it identified. But it concluded that this was the most plausible explanation for its findings. "Either they are coming from inside Unit 61398, or the people who run the most-controlled, most-monitored Internet networks in the world are clueless about thousands of people generating attacks from this one neighbourhood," Kevin Mandia, the founder and chief executive of the company told the paper.

Fresh herbs are pretty and delicious, as well as easy to grow.
Here are some ideas for easy favors for the guests at your next garden party.
In reality, many plants are well adapted to thrive in garden wet spots. Even if your boggy areas are saturated only part of the year, there's a plant for that!
Before you begin selecting plants for your wet area, be sure to figure out why your garden beds are soggy. If you're near a stream, have underground springs or a pond, plan to work around it. If the sogginess is new, be sure to remedy any runoff or broken waterline problems rather than planting over a more serious issue.
When you begin selecting plants, be sure your choices are appropriate for your gardening zone, environment and any size restrictions. Also, be sure your choices are not invasive plants; water lovers often are! Think about adding a good mix of plants that will provide winter interest as well as summer sparkle. If possible, choose native plants that perform well in your location; these are the ones most likely to provide ideal habitat and forage for your native wildlife.
Need a few specific ideas? Check out some of these options:
• Trees: Some trees are better suited to wet locations than others. Those that don't like "wet feet" may easily become a hazard if planted in a saturated spot. Consider some of these first.
• Salix species (Willow trees, shrubs & groundcovers)
• Taxodium distichum (Bald Cypress)
• Shrubs: Examine shrubs that do well in ditches and streams.
• Cornus sericea (Red-twig Dogwood)
• Cornus sericea 'Flaviramea' (Yellow-twig Dogwood)
• Symphoricarpos albus (Snowberry)
• Perennials, Ferns & Grass-like: Mix these up for flowers, texture and interest.
• Lysichiton americanus (Swamp Lantern or Skunk Cabbage)
• Iris species
• Gunnera species (Dinosaur food)
• Rushes
• Sedges
• Blechnum penna-marina (Alpine Water Fern)
• Sarracenia (Pitcher Plants – carnivorous! )
• Cattails
• Groundcovers: Beware that water-loving groundcovers can spread fast. Use with caution!
• Moss (usually a slower spreader)
• Lysmanchia nummularia 'Aurea' (Golden Creeping Jenny)
• Houtunyia cordata 'Chameleon'
As you create your plantings in wet garden beds, consider integrating elements like large stones and logs. Not only will these create habitat for the mosquito-eating wildlife like frogs, snakes and salamanders that thrive in wet areas, but they will also add year-round interest to your wet area garden. Plus, as the garden matures, you'll be glad for strategically-placed solid steps when you head out to weed in the sinking, wet soil.

Dartmouth Atlas: Poor Care for Terminal Cancer Patients Widespread
The Dartmouth report also found that at for-profit hospitals, 6.6% of patients received chemotherapy in the last 14 days of life but at not-for profit hospitals the rate was 6%. Hospitals with 150 beds or more provided 6.5% of dying cancer patients with chemotherapy, while at hospitals with fewer than 150 beds, 5.4% of patients received drug regimens.
Morden says that the Dartmouth group hopes to update its numbers to reflect more recent Medicare data, to see if more physicians and hospital-teams are getting better at following quality measures for dying patients.
Morden adds that it's up to policymakers to bring care practices into alignment with a patient's preferences in an honest way, because giving chemotherapy to someone who is going to be dying quickly is giving them false hope.
"I don't think we're doing them any service. There's a fair amount of evidence to say that it's painful, and toxic. We are dramatically decreasing quality and we may even be shortening life."
