I tried modules2urls but the URL had to be exact and I couldnt see an option of a wildcard.
Having read through the manual of modules2pages first, I liked the way you could set tp rules. I took the plunge and bought it (only a few quid) and I am really pleased. Hoping to use this a lot on my site.

WOW! What an episode! I wanna say it was such an honor to perform at the annual White Party in Palm Springs this year! I want to thank Jeffrey Sanker and especially Kandi for making my dream a reality. Even to be CONSIDERED to perform at such a large event still gets me emotional ... I've come such a long way from my Season 1 "Tightrope" days with Dallas Austin.
Now lets jump right in ... since I was so excited about this performance I barely left myself any time to pack! My assistant Sweetie "attempted" to help me, and we finally did it! I know it appears that I speak to Sweetie disrespectfully, however Sweetie and I have a great "friendship" and we are always cutting up and having fun, we have been for 11 plus years. Like always, leaving my girls while I'm out doing performances or appearances is always incredibly hard. They're my number one fans, and I wish they could come with me everywhere. They usually do but this was during school so it was impossible this time.
Let me say, Nene's dog "Playa" is absolutely ADORABLE! My teacup Pomeranian Chanel has some competition. But was I the only one who noticed Nene saying, "He very sorry," when she was referring to her son Brice's arrest? Nene it's, "He IS very sorry."

Eight years ago, over dinner and a bottle of wine, Hayagreeva (Huggy) Rao and Robert Sutton realized they needed better answers for the students of a Stanford management education program, Customer-Focused Innovation, they were running. The business executives appreciated what the pair had to say about reducing bureaucracy in an organization and enabling creativity, but invariably asked, "How do we scale this?"
So, the longtime collaborators set out to find the answer. For more than seven years, they interviewed business leaders, reviewed research, and studied and conducted case studies about the mindset and strategies companies can use to spread excellence within an organization. The result is their book, Scaling Up Excellence: Getting to More Without Settling for Less, which will be published in February.
Scaling Book
We recently sat down with the pair to discuss key ideas from the book. Excerpts:
You begin your book by saying that companies that want to spread excellence have the "problem of more." What exactly do you mean by that?
Rao: To put it simply, the problem of "more" is that organizations have pockets of goodness, and what you want is more of the goodness. At the same time that you're adding good — by adding pockets or expanding them — you want to make sure you get rid of the bad. So, the problem of "more" is the problem — the challenge — of proliferating goodness.
Sutton: And the word "problem" is important because when things get bigger or you spread them farther, not everything that happens is good. There's this notion of growth and progress in America, that everything gets better as it gets bigger. But it's a messy process. There will be things that annoy you. And the more you want to scale, probably, the more you have to suffer personally, which is not something I think leaders want to hear.
So how do leaders actually get through that?
Rao: You can have the illusion of drawing up nice little organizational charts and figuring out what growth looks like, but they're all things on paper. In reality you need both story and structure. What I mean by story is lofty, inspirational messaging about excellence. But you also need the structure — the plumbing, if you will — the unglamorous parts of scaling. If you don't have both of those, you're never going to get anywhere.
Sutton: There's always this challenge, as you get bigger, about structure. If people are telling the same story, you can have less bureaucracy, less micromanagement. But you do need some authority. And people like Twitter's Chris Fry and Steve Greene, who grew Salesforce from 40 to 600 people, and venture capitalist Ben Horowitz — all of them make this argument that you should have a little less structure than you think you need. Then, wait for things to break a little bit as a sign that you should add just a little bit more. Greene called this light structure "running a little bit hot." If you're a little bit too heavy, it feels like you're walking in muck. And, if you're way too light, things fall apart. So, the ideal condition for scaling is that little things should be breaking all the time, but not the big things.
You make the point that if you're adding new processes or people, naturally you will need to find ways to subtract — or stop doing — other things. How do you do that?
Rao: That's what we refer to as "cognitive load." If the load is too great, there's a coordination circus. If I've got to run an idea by a bunch of people in order to do some single thing, I'm going to give up because it's too much effort. When Bob and I teach executives, sometimes we say, "Hey, how about having a rule that says 'If you want to have a meeting, kill an existing meeting.'" Now, that sounds quite obvious, but they say, "Really?" They haven't even questioned the idea that meetings are to be added, that calendars are to be monopolized. It's no wonder in a large company you feel like a victim.
Sutton: Now, that's not true of all companies. Take Apple and Wal-Mart — those are two companies where they have a culture of small teams, so they have fewer meetings and people actually are doing the work most of the time. A lot of this depends on leadership and focus. The question is: "Where is your focus?"
Is there any common thread among organizations that are successful at spreading excellence?
Rao: They tend to "connect and cascade," as we call it. You connect people so that you cascade the right behaviors throughout the organization. The real problem of scaling excellence is ignorance. What is an excellent organization? One that doesn't repeat the same mistakes. And when do you repeat mistakes? When the connections inside organizations are weak or atrophied. If people aren't connecting, your ignorance multiplies.
Sutton: And I think the important part for senior leaders is to find a way that people can share information in reasonably efficient ways. We talk about many ways in the book, but I really like the example of Salesforce under Steve Greene and Chris Fry — they had a policy where engineers were free to change jobs within the company. So, every four months they'd have an internal job fair, like a bazaar with booths, where people would walk around and learn about what other teams were working on. The policy had many advantages, but one was a higher collective understanding of how the piece of code they're working on fit into the overall whole.
What's are the implications of the size of your organization on a scaling effort — going from, say, two to 20 people versus 2,000 to 10,000?
Rao: Going from two to 20, you're probably all still sitting in the same room. It's just a bigger room.
Sutton: Then there's a next level, 150 to 200, where you can no longer recognize all the names and faces, and up from there. The thing that companies that were successful at scaling all have in common — regardless of size — is that they were thinking of scaling as spreading a mindset, not a footprint. One person who demonstrates this well is John Lilly, the former CEO of Mozilla, who grew the company from 12 to about 500 people. John told us, "When we were 40 or 50 people, I was always changing my mind, but as the company got bigger I had to stifle myself." He had to be sure he said the same thing over and over so that people wouldn't get conflicting messages. This is true all the way up to truly huge companies. As Huggy says, if you've all got the same poetry in your head — these mantras like "The Customer is Boss" — they actually drive a bunch of decisions. It lets everybody be on the same page and know where they're heading.
Rao: The other thing I want to add is when you become larger, what's unsaid also increases in an organization. The phrase we like to use is: "Smart people inside large organizations become dumb." They become mute. And so the real problem for a large company is to figure out what's not being said. Because if you only make decisions on the basis of what's being said, you can go off track pretty quickly.
So how do you build the right mix of people for positive growth?
Rao: This is a big, big thing. Scaling doesn't just require stars. It requires Sherpas as well — the people who get you to the summit each day. Now, in order to make sure that the Sherpas are taken care of, you should hire managers who are prone to feeling guilty. This idea is based on actual research done by a PhD student and Frank Flynn, a colleague here at Stanford.
I think about the U.S. army general in the Korean War that we talk about in the book, Matthew Ridgway. He says, "The hard decisions are not the ones you make in the heat of battle." A lot of people can do that. The hard part is actually sitting in a meeting and speaking your mind about a bad idea that's going to put thousands of lives in jeopardy — and convincing the decision makers that it's a stupid idea. The kinds of people who are going to do that are people who put the interests of others above their own.
Sutton: It's interesting, the people who are really good at getting things done, they're not just optimists. In fact, research shows they have high positive and high negative affect, which means they're really optimistic and confident things will turn out in the end, but they're really, really worried about every little detail and how it's going to screw things up.
The two things I would add are that you should make sure to have as many women as possible, because the more men you have in a group, the dumber it gets, controlling for their IQ. There's actually very good evidence of that. And, that you want people with a sense of accountability, who feel like "I own the place, and the place owns me." They will push themselves and each other, feel obligated to teach and to learn.
You mention that some mistakes are part of any scaling effort. But what are the kinds of mistakes that can cause failure?
Sutton: When we looked at cases where scaling failed, they seemed to have the trifecta of illusion, incompetence, and impatience; this idea of "We're going to do it all at once, we don't have time to slow down and do it right. But we're so great, we can do it." You can see it, for example, in what the Obama administration did with their healthcare rollout. Apparently, the guy in charge was some career bureaucrat who didn't really understand how to do it but was a good politician, so he was competent at the wrong thing. But that creates a scenario where you're turning other people incompetent.
So, how do you start a successful scaling effort?
Rao: One thing to keep in mind is that scaling doesn't mean "Waiting for Godot" — you know, wait for the new boss, wait for a new opportunity, wait for new technology. In reality, you better do something. One good way to develop a plan is to do a pre-mortem: Take a team of people, and get half of them to imagine the plan has been put in motion and failed terribly. Then write a story of why that happened. And get the other half to imagine that it succeeded, and write a story of how that happened. The advantage of this is you get more of the unsaid said. You can actually make sure those small details that bite you don't get in the way. Often, scaling doesn't work because the mistakes you make early on aren't caught until it's too late.
Sutton: We talked to a top executive who turned around the largest company in Australia, who had the top 100 or so folks write him a 2-page memo about what they should do to turn around the organization. And he said, "I just talked to each person for an hour, and took the best ideas." That said, we also found a single person who wanted to spread an idea, and so began by redecorating her cubicle and starting small, informal training sessions for colleagues. The bottom line is: In every case of successful scaling, you start where you are with what you have.
Hayagreeva "Huggy" Rao is Atholl McBean Professor of Organizational Behavior and Human Resources at Stanford GSB, and director of the Managing Talent for Strategic Advantage Executive Program.
Robert I. Sutton is a professor of management science and engineering in Stanford School of Engineering and a cofounder of the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford.

Riders Gary Mason and John McGuinness inspect the new chicane at Mather's Cross with NW200 Race Director Mervyn Whyte MBE
By MCN Sportsdesk -
TT & road races
28 April 2010 17:03
This year's North West 200 on May 15 will feature two major changes to the 8.9mile road course to improve safety.
Organisers of the ReIentless International North West 200 unveiled a new chicane at Mather's Cross and improvements at Station Corner.
The new purpose-built chicane at Mather's Cross has been introduced to slow down competitors at the entrance to the corner.
Race Director Mervyn Whyte said: "The new chicane will reduce speeds at Mather's Cross, initial drawings and plans having been created following consultation with the riders.
"The chicane is located on right side entrance to Mather's Cross and the area to the left has been cleared of any hedging with the chicane area free of any obstructions."
Further changes are currently being carried out at Station Corner, another high-speed area on the course.
On the exit of the corner on the left hand side it is planned to pipe the large drain and fill up the ground over an 80-metre distance. A new socketed fence is to be installed the full length of the corner.
"These upgrades are part of the North West's ongoing policy on safety improvement and we continually work hard year on year to make the course as safe as possible for competitors and spectators." said Whyte.
"I believe these improvements are significant. We have had excellent feedback from both riders and team managers.
Sport Northern Ireland have been has contributed £35,000 to ensure safety works have been completed ahead of this year's races. Eamonn McCartan, Chief Executive of Sport Northern Ireland, stated: "We view the safety of participants and spectators at the NW 200 as of the utmost importance.
"While the event obviously centres on the racing, it is vital that measures are taken to improve the safety of all concerned."

How much have the ballistics improved since then? Anything out there that gets you close to a .357 load? Or am I better off with the 386NG and loading it with lighter .357 loads for accuracy?

Movie Description
Noah takes the waterlogged story of the worst rainstorm ever and breathes new life into the Old Testament tale with this combination of religious movie, fantasy flick, and big-budget disaster picture. Visionary director Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler, Black Swan) takes some liberties with the biblical story to fit it in its new context, but the basics are there. Noah talks to God who tells him to build a big boat and fill it with a pair of every animal on earth. But the film then takes us inside the boat, where we learn that Noah is a religious zealot. Noah is a huge, sprawling, impossibly ambitious movie that puts a new spin on one of mankind's oldest stories.

November 29, 2014
March 24, 2014
ARLINGTON, Washington (AP) — There are 108 names on the list of people who've been reported missing or unaccounted for in the weekend mudslide in Washington state, authorities said Monday.
Snohomish County emergency management director John Pennington said that's the consolidated list from various sources that authorities are working from, and it doesn't mean there are that many injuries or fatalities.
"It's a soft 108," Pennington said at a news conference.
Among the possible missing are construction workers coming into the neighborhood and people just driving by. Pennington added the slide occurred on a Saturday morning, when more people were likely to be home.
An overnight search turned up no additional survivors or fatalities.
"The situation is very grim," Snohomish County Fire District 21 Chief Travis Hots said Monday morning.
He stressed that authorities are still in rescue mode and are holding out hope. But he noted: "We have not found anyone alive on this pile since Saturday."
At least eight people were killed in the 1-square-mile slide that hit in a rural area about 55 miles northeast of Seattle. Several people also were critically injured, and about 30 homes were destroyed.
Of the 49 structures in the neighborhood hit by the slide, authorities believe at least 25 were occupied full-time.

main index
Short for "killer application", a killer app is a game - or something not a game that's a category killer - so good that it's considered a must-own if you have the system it's released for, and is in fact a reason in and of itself to buy said system. When you buy literature, you get a single self-contained experience: the book contains all there is to this particular adventure. When you buy a ticket for a film or a stage show, you get two hours of drama, and that's all there is to see (until the inevitable sequel, that is). But electronic hardware isn't like that. Music players, movie players, computers, video game consoles, tablet computers... They all require software to run, and each piece of software delivers a different experience: a photo-editing suite can't be used to balance your checkbook, for instance, or vice versa. As such, hardware and software are separate but interlinked categories, and one is used to judge the other: the same piece of software might run much more efficiently on one computer than another, and you'd factor that in when deciding what hardware or software to buy. And, just to add to the confusion, a fair amount of software is exclusive to one piece of hardware, or family of hardware: for instance, Microsoft for the longest time resisted releasing its "Office" suite of productivity software (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc) for iPad, to keep their competing "Surface" tablets relevant. And that's where we get to this trope. A "killer app" is a piece of software that validates the hardware. It provides such an excellent user experience that it justifies buying the hardware. The term is primarily used within the world of video gaming, but originated outside it: it was used, especially during the '90s Internet boom, to describe the mythical invention that everyone in America needed and which would make its developers — and their investors — rich beyond their wildest dreams. The term can also be used on a more serious context, used to refer to a very useful application which immediately becomes a "must-have". When the term is applied in this manner, only a very few applications apply, including word processors, spreadsheets, database management programs, email clients, and web browsers. The only thing everyone agrees on is that any new hardware attempting to launch itself should have a Killer App at hand, especially if the hardware itself is a video game console—that business is more software-driven than any other. While most products that attain killer app status are extremely successful and popular, it should be noted here that "creating a true killer app" is akin to "writing the Great American Novel": everybody wants to, but nobody has yet created (or is likely to create) the definitive killer app. Note that a killer app is more than just a good game. A game can be good, great, critically acclaimed, even an all-time classic... and still not be a killer app (conversely, not all killer apps are great by modern standards; some of them seem quite dated today). A killer app is insanely popular in its own time, enough so as to single-handedly drive sales for its system. The examples that follow, then, are not just the games that tropers loved, but rather the games that everyone loved; the ones that made their respective systems. Arguing over which killer app provides the most bang for its buck is a large part of the Console Wars. Compare Star-Making Role (equivalent for actors) and Breakthrough Hit (equivalent for creators).

Lengthier posts about a specific topic that may be of interest to a variety of readers.
Why is it that any radical change to a feature invites immediate repulsion and "bring it back" stampedes? Is the option to "bring back the old version" the only solution designers have to appease everyone, or should one barrel forward with a design change with the confidence that eventually everyone will jump on board?
Flickr's new changes create a bit of antagonism.
The obvious problem is that the most vocal people online are those who have something to gripe about, and any significant user interface change introduces an initial sense of panic if things aren't "where they used to be".
Research in HCI must move away from technology as a solution to behavior change towards a model that enables users to be active agents in the feedback mechanisms embedded in ambient, ubiquitous and gamified interfaces.
Recent research in the field of human computer interaction has led many to pose the following question:
How might we be able to design computer and technology-based systems in order to change behavior?
In part, these appear to be motivated by individuals whose approach to HCI is driven by the desire for computers to do good for the world (e.g.
The astute among you may have noticed in the last week that Stanford changed its logo typeface away from Sabon Monotype to what it now calls something that should be treated "as artwork, not as typography".
When Felix Baumgartner landed back on Earth yesterday after his 24-mile jump from the Zenith capsule, he managed to break three world records: the highest jump from a platform, the longest free fall without a drogue parachute and the highest vertical velocity.
One of the more acute results of spending some time in a product-oriented or product management role like the one I spent at Google this past summer is that you suddenly become aware of a lot of the consequences and thought processes that go into rolling out a new feature.
Since I just found out about Google's acquisition of Nik Software I figured I'd write a quick comparison of the that and the tool I have been using up to now, Topaz Labs.
Recently I've had two opportunities to compare photographs with a circular polarizing filter (C-PL) and without, and they are by far the most indispensable tool in a nature and outdoor photographer's toolbox.
Sometimes the most amazing experiences are the most coincidental, and the most unplanned.
Sometimes the best technology is the one most suited for the job it was designed for.
The calibre of these Wednesday HCI lunches is pretty high up there from the beginning of this year, and today was no exception, with a fantastic talk by South Africa's IndabaMobile CEO Ken Venn talking about how his company is trying to improve digital access via cell phones to the market in South Africa.

Why it's loved:
It's been an American tradition since the mid 1950's when Hickory Farms' founder Richard Ransom grew restless. Already a successful cheese maker and connoisseur, he couldn't find the perfect summer sausage to compliment his rich and savory creations. So he went to his kitchen and worked tirelessly to come up with the perfect sausage.

Perfect for anyone who loves sausage, entertaining or for sending care packages to friends and family.

Men and women who've made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty were remembered Saturday morning all over Nebraska.
More than one hundred bikers in Omaha joined the Iron Warriors Club for the 4th annual Nebraska Law Ride, reviving up their engines and getting ready to ride for a purpose.
Officer Brian Soucie helped lead the ride. A 26-year veteran, Soucie worked as an officer in Hastings for years, before leaving the department.
The man who took over his shift, Officer Joel Conklin, was killed just three weeks later on the job.
Officer Conklin died after being shot in the head after responding to a disturbance at a residence. He had worn the same badge number as Soucie, which was 17.
"I knew Joel really well and the whole event really makes it a personal event," says Soucie.
"We want to honor him and all the other fallen officers today."
The Nebraska Law Ride honors Conklin and 129 other law officers who have died or been killed in the line of duty. Riders from North Platte, Lincoln, Sidney, and Omaha met up at the Law Enforcement Memorial in Grand Island Saturday afternoon,
Janele Dejoode came from Des Moines to participate. She says the ride is a symbolic reminder of how men and women lay their life on the line everyday.
"It truly brings up and front to people our law enforcement officers, our firefighters, our military are all serving for our freedoms. It's really important".
Omaha Police Chaplain, Ward Doering, says the day is also about meeting up with old friends and enjoying the ride.
"This is a great opportunity for the officers to get out and let of steam in a good, solid, wholesome way."
"They love their motorcycles, we love the Lord, and we're here to honor those guys."
The ride comes a couple days before the annual commemoration of the Law Enforcement Memorial in Grand Island Monday. The commemoration helps kick off to National Police Week.
The Iron Warrior Motorcycle Club hopes to raise $4,000 from the ride.

Welcome to an ongoing weekly series where I discuss the state of the meta-game in Hearthstone. Which classes are strong? How should you be building your decks to counter them? Which is the best class to be playing right now to climb ladder? These are all questions that I hope to address in these articles. So let's jump right in.
Tomorrow, we will celebrate the 10th anniversary of World of Warcraft, which was released on the 23rd of November, 2004. This will also mark the 20th anniversary of Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, which was released exactly 10 years before, on the 23rd of November, 1994. For this occasion, Blizzard sent us 10 World of Warcraft 2015 Annuals to give away. To enter the contest, all you have to do is share with us in the comments your favorite Warcraft moment.
Welcome to the first of a weekly series I hope to do where I discuss the state of the meta-game in Hearthstone. Which classes are strong? How should you be building your decks to counter them? Which is the best class to be playing right now to climb ladder? These are all questions that I hope to address in these articles. So let's jump right in.
Greetings travellers!
I thought it would be appropriate to start a discussion on the new Hearthstone expansion, Goblins vs Gnomes. Since there was a whole slew of cards announced in the original spoilers, dissecting each one of them one by one would take forever, plus some cards may become better or worse as the rest of the set is revealed.
We have just released a number of new guides on Icy Veins. We cover Garrisons to such an extent that we have a complete guide for each building as well as other more general guides. Since professions are now tied to Garrisons, we decided to release profession guides for Warlords of Draenor. We also have guides for reputations and for outdoor bosses. Finally, we have been working on class guides. Most of our PvE guides have been updated and all leveling guides now cover the part between Level 90 and Level 100.
The most prominent and important new currency being introduced in Warlords of Draenor is Apexis Crystal. Reminiscent of the old Outland currency, Apexis Crystals can be farmed in numerous ways and are used to purchase everything from pets and mounts to pre-raid gear, bonus rolls, and transmog items.
We received dozens of applications for the Hearthstone position we opened 2 weeks ago. We were very happy to have a few outstanding applicants to choose from and we eventually decided to go with Sottle, a professional Hearthstone player who competes for Team Infused. Sottle is also a multiple-time UK champion in Yo-Yo. Here is a video of him at the 2007 World Championships.
Read more, if you want to know why we went for Sottle and what it will change for the Hearthstone section.
This Saturday, October 26th, Zagam, our lead moderator, and his team (made up of Icy Veins members) will be part of a huge international celebration of the social impact of gamers with Extra Life. It is our sincere hope that you will find it in your heart to support us with a monthly pledge or one-time gift that will go directly to our team's chosen hospital: West Virginia University's Children's Hospital.
With the removal of reforging in patch 6.0.2 and the reduction of available gem sockets on level 91+ gear in Warlords, customizing what stats are most predominant on your gear has become both more streamlined and limited. Rather than having the ability to micromanage your stats on a piece-by-piece basis, you are now limited to three distinct ways of choosing what secondary stats are most valuable to you: enchants, gems, and food.
With the release of WoD coming up, we have had a lot of work to do on Patch 6.0.2 and we will soon have to start writing guides for raids and garrisons. In the meantime, Poyo is busy with the Diablo 3 content. And after that, we want to start working on Heroes of the Storm. So, the Hearthstone section is not getting the attention it deserves and we feel that it is time to bring an extra person on board to help us with that. This is a paid job.
Legendary quest lines have the most epic rewards that World of Warcraft can offer. Our guides provide step-by-step explanations for completing these very complex quest lines.

Long Live AC/DC, the Indestructible Band
The latest reports of their demise proved false. But you cannot kill this band anymore than you can kill rock'n'roll.
Byon April 16, 2014
Rumors have been swirling that AC/DC was about to come to an end. Malcolm Young, a founding member and the rhythm guitarist of the band, is suffering from the complications of a stroke, including a nastily placed blood clot that has hampered his level of play. Fortunately the band has denied the rumors, saying "The band will continue to make music." Those who believed that AC/DC had completed their mission on this earth were mistaken. In hindsight, the rumors were obviously ridiculous. AC/DC is, was and always shall be indestructible.
You cannot kill AC/DC anymore than you can kill rock'n'roll. The death of rock has been announced many, many times before but it always comes back to be killed again. Its first obituary was published right around the time of its birth, on February 3, 1959, when the Big Bopper, Richie Valens and Buddy Holly had their famous plane crash. It died again with Jim Morrison, with Jon Bonham, with Elvis, with Kurt Cobain, with disco, with American Pie, with the Beatles breaking up. In the press at least, rock'n'roll had already died at least a half-dozen times by the time AC/DC formed in 1973. They have had a forty year career, of the widest possible success, playing in a postmortem medium.
And in a way AC/DC was a postmortem band, which is why they'll never die. They have barely changed over the course of their forty years, even when their lead singer passed away in 1980. Songs from 1974's TNT or 2008's Black Ice are much the same. Their sound has not "developed." They have not gone through "periods." When Angus Young put on his deranged schoolboy look, and they figured out that it worked, he wore it at every show afterwards, even as he grew into an old man in a deranged schoolboy uniform. They stick with what they know and what they know their audiences want: power chords, melodies, loudness, the heavy metal badassery kept comfortably in check with familiarity. Every song is written to be the first song you hear when you walk into a stripclub. They see no reason to grow as artists and therefore they never embarrassed themselves by following fads. An AC/DC album is an AC/DC album. Always.
Because of that constancy, they have been absolutely huge, huge on a scale that it's actually hard to imagine from the point of view of 2014. They have sold way, way more than 180 million albums. In 1991, they played to an audience of 1.6 million people in Moscow. To put that in perspective, it's as if every man, woman and child in the city of Philadelphia went to the same concert. They influenced everybody across multiple genres--heavy metal, alternative rock. If you find yourself in a small town, in a dive bar, and they have a live rock'n'roll band, that band, on some level, wants to be AC/DC. They are maybe the last rock band that can legitimately claim to have conquered the world. Their timing has been perfect. They hit the sweet spot where globalization and taste and technology allowed for the creation of artists that everybody listened to. That time has now passed. Nostalgia for it remains ferocious.
Certainly nothing as minor as mere stroke is going to finish them off. Their sheer capacity for endurance is astonishing. After Back in Black they could have stopped making songs. They could have retired forever. They could have become bored with themselves. They could have become bored with their audience. They never did. They kept writing actual songs. They kept touring. They never mutated, like the Rolling Stones, into a tribute band to themselves. And that is why, in all likelihood, they will never go. They give the world what it wants, and the world will always want a band like AC/DC.

Greetings My Beloved,
Continue on as you are and more will come. You are finding your way. Each and every time you connect you learn something new. It is how it should be. Remember to take what you have learned and apply it to your next session. Build upon the strengths and your aha's.
You find that you know longer need to go step-by- step to connect that you automatically are able to do so. The step-by-step instructions are so that you intellectually know what is taking place. There are a few more nuances that you will pick up as you engage. Write them down so that you can share with others. This is something many will want to know. Don't be concerned with those that don't get what you are doing. It's none of their concern.
We feel as you are ready to move in this direction: the healing arts. You have the basics of what you need to know for now. More will unfold as you work with the energy. Find the format in which you are comfortable. Combine your readings with the healing energy as you have done before. Allow more of a direct approach to healing. Previously your intention was the reading with healing secondary or unconsciously in the background.
We see you concentrating on the healing aspect through conscious commanding of the energy along with reading the energy for your clients. We believe you know what this means. It requires a shift in your work. You will be doing the same, but the intention has changed.
As you open up to this new process. You will see how everything has shifted and works beautifully together. We have mentioned this before but bears repeating: The readings and the healing energy go hand in hand. You don't do one with out the other. Now that you know the commanding of the energy, your readings will change.
What actually happens in a reading is that you are directing energy to a person's space and clearing blocks, negative energy, beliefs and other limiting patterns that ultimately create havoc in the physical. Limiting beliefs regarding everything from self-esteem to money issues. Creative blocks are usually a result of some type of limiting belief or fear itself. Your job is to eliminate these blocks if the client allows. Some will not allow healing and you must respect their desires. For some, it serves them to be sick or they may be ready to leave the earth plane. It is their decision.
The benefits of being sick are many. Some people love the attention and some people also express feeling loved or the first time by others due to their illness. Another thing is that somee people want to be taken care of and their illness has a way of serving that as well.
Be mindful that everyone will not want your assistance. Let people come to you.

Channel-Don't Cry For Me
Greetings My Daughter,
It's been a week of nostalgia. Birthday week in your world. It stirs the emotions. Don't cry to me as I am where I should be. Don't cry for me because I am no longer there. Don't cry for me. I wish to be the spark of inspiration. I wish to be the smile of memories and the joke at the party.
I sense a flood of emotion having said such. It is as it should be. I did my best though at times it wasn't good enough. I did what I thought was right. It all boils down to that. You make the best decisions based on what you feel is the best for you and your family. As you live your life you realize that is not always easy. You live in an imperfect world and other's decisions affect the whole.
It's a critical time for your world. Vast changes in all aspects of life. Embrace the change as it will truly be a year to remember.
Focus on what you wish to achieve and inspire those around you. You don't have time for annoyances but be compassionate to those who need your assistance. Everybody has their unique lessons and path to follow. For those who are completely off the path, give them a gentle nudge in the right direction. It can be frightening and almost crippling to not know which direction to go. This is something you should be doing.
It is not always easy to stand out in the crowd. You will endure your share of criticism. Most won't have the courage to say things to your face. It's the same old "tear people down" attitude. You don't have the patience fo such people. Surround yourself with loving individuals and dare to speak the truth. It is what you are there for.
From the Archive-Ask Them to Leave
Ever since she was little, she's talked of spirits around her. I think the first time was around the age of three. It frightened her. She asked why they were there. I didn't know what to say. I didn't see any spirits around. I told her to ask them to leave.
As she got older, it was obvious that she was the only one who noticed them. She wondered why. She said that her friends don't talk about these things. "Why are they around me and what do they want?" she asks. She tells me that she has asked them to leave yet she still sees them. They don't try to communicate with her just linger in the distance.
Almost an adult now, they still hover around her and she sees them. She doesn't like it so she asks them to leave.

Greetings my beloved,
You are eager to learn and to spread our messages. The earth is ready to hear. Your healing energies continue to expand and so so your conscious thoughts about it. You have been told over and over that you are a healer, but not aware of what that means for you. Yes, there are many modalities of being a healer. In your current work you are in a healing position as well. You are drawn to that because that is who you are.
For you, the energy you work with is healing. You connect energetically through the heart chakra and emit a frequency that is healing. It is all very powerful and something that you do unconsciously when giving a reading. Having said that, you desire to be a conscious healer. You desire to know exactly what is happening. These are the things that you think about. We will break it down for you as you move along this path.
Be open to sharing what you are learning. You find it fascinating and so will others. The era of taboo has ended. More and more people desire and seek changes.
You give readings and the healing goes on in the back ground. As you know, you can't do one with out the other. As you connect and gather info and relay that info, the energy is being given to the other. It is really quite remarkable. Physical illness can and will be reversed. Negative patterns and emotional blocks are just a few of the clearings that have taken place. As you dive deeper into your calling more intense healing will occur. You have been working with the energies for sometime now, consciously, but the nature of your healings will change. When we say change we mean more pronounced, more obvious. You know that people have benefited from your readings, but it will be the healing aspect that people seek rather than the intuitive information.
Trust Your Guides
People ask me all the time about this or that. What do I think? Is it a boy or a girl? So, I simply ask myself the question and I get a feeling. Yes feels lighter and true. No feels heavy and is usually located in the pit of my stomach. On occasion, a "no" response may even make me feel sick.
I work with a bunch of girls. Two of which are expecting babies. One of the girls didn't know what the sex of her baby would be. I predicted girl. There were so many people who thought the baby would be a boy. On her husband's side of the family, it was boy, boy and more boys. If it was one thing I have learned over the years is to trust my guides. I may not understand everything they tell me, but I do have to trust them. The wait it over. It's a girl.
What Can I Expect from a Reading?
My oldest daughter asked me what I do for people in a reading. I explained to her that I am able to sense what it is that they have come here to do and to be in this life time.
Then she asked why people would want to have a reading. I told her that some people like to hear about themself from a different perspective.
I sense people's true self. I am able to connect with their spirit guides and they share information about that person. I told her that I have no idea what is going to go on until I connect with them during that reading.
Recently, I started asking my guides for something unique in the reading that helps me and the person I am working with know what I am saying is real and true for them. It's good for us both.
As we finished our conversation, my daughter asked if she could give readings. I told her if she wanted to she could. She smiled as if she was pleased with herself and said, "maybe when I'm older."
Am I A Medium?
My daughter asked me if she is a medium. I hadn't really thought of her intuitive gifts
with that label. I asked her why she was asking She remembered an incident a few years back (4 maybe 5). We had just arrived at the lake house. It was a few hours from our home. We hadn't been there long, but long enough to turn on the water and the air conditioner. Ellen mentioned to me that we had company and said that her angels were all here. They were having a class and Ellen was to be the teacher. She said it all so matter-of-fact. She said they wanted to know about her lifestyle and what it is that she is doing at the lake house. What seemed like something Ellen was enjoying turned sour. Ellen covered her ears and said that they were all talking to her at once. Ellen was over whelmed by their presence and asked them to leave. She found it confusing.
I remembered that incident as well and had documented it in my journal back then. I had thought about that from time-to-time. I was a bit hesitant to discuss it with her. Over the last few years, Ellen hadn't openly discussed her gifts with me as she used to. She's afraid of what people might say. I hate it that she feels as though she needs others approval to be herself. It's tough to be 12.

Technology Helps Banish Safety Fears
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Researchers at InfoLab21 are harnessing developments in technology to help us feel safer in public.
Whether you're uneasy jogging through your local park or hesitant about crossing a busy road, a team of researchers are working on new ways to help people register their concerns and bring about a change to the way public spaces are designed.
Mobile Computing and Artificial Intelligence are just some of the tools researchers are planning to use to capture public opinion during a series of trials in Lancaster, Coventry and Derry over coming years.
Professor Jon Whittle of Lancaster University's InfoLab21 is leading the £855,000 project funded under the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council's Digital Economy programme.
Professor Whittle, who is based in the Computing Department, said: "The people who use a space are the people who know it best but the pressures of modern life mean that they are unlikely to find the time to register their views and put forward suggestions for change.
"This kind of tacit knowledge is really valuable to designers but very difficult for them to access.
"We hope to use technology to make it quick and easy for people to pass on their observations, helping us to improve the design and safety of our shared public spaces whether that be a city underpass or a leafy park."
The three-year project 'VoiceYourView' brings together computer scientists, crime experts, ergonomists and designers across the UK and is a collaboration between Lancaster, Aston, Manchester, Coventry and Brunel Universities.
Technology trials are set to take place in Lancaster in November 2009; Derry in summer 2010; Coventry in summer 2011.
For further information on the project please go to the Voice Your View website below.
