I posted about a week ago about my deciding to file for divorce...a few of you ladies asked me how things were going, so I thought I'd update ya'll. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about or just don't care just ignore this!)
Dh and I both went to see the therapist last week. (Both sessions were already scheduled as follow up's to several couples sessions we already had). On Monday when Dh got home he was telling me about some of the things he is learning to deal with his anger and his lack of communication skills. Much to my surprise, he actually stopped several times over the last week and said things to me like "I'm starting to feel really angry, and I'm not sure why...can you help me?" This is HUGE.
When I went for my session (Wednesday) the therapist basically said that while he doesn't want to take sides, he thinks my Dh has A LOT of work to do. He said that he spoke to my Dh about how he is going to wind up without a wife and (daily) child if he doesn't decide to change himself. The therapist also said that while I know some of how horrible Dh's childhood was (alcoholism, domestic violence etc.) he suspects that there is a lot more that Dh isn't telling.
I've decide to give it a shot and help Dh through what ever he needs to get through. I love the man...wouldn't have married him if I didn't. At the same time, Dh is trying to show love and accept love in a way he never has before. This morning Dh went into work 2 hours late because Henry woke up and he was cuddling/wrestling with him. My heart was melting while I pretended to sleep next to them
Thanks so much for all your support last week...it was needed and appreciated!!
Glad to hear he's making some positive changes - very big that he's willing to work with counseling and is willing to accept responsibility for his behavior.
Best of luck to you!
I really hope things get better. If he's willing to work on this, that's definitely a big improvement from where you were a week ago.
Hugs mama. Keep us posted. I've been thinking about you.
I'm so happy to hear that he's (and you of course) willing to take the therapy challenge. You're right (I'm presuming) that you wouldn't have married him if you didn't love him.
Good luck to a sister in the world. I hope the road continues even if it isn't easy

and.....(I didn't want to smear my positive post with this less than positive bit) keep getting information. Even if your marriage doesn't end in divorce you should have all your financial information handy. What if tragedy struck. We should all know passwords, locations, amounts, etc because if something ever happens we would be hard pressed to know how to access everything.
I say this because my hubs is a major geek and everything is encoded in his PDA. I know the password to unlock all the passwords now :-) We are still working on my knowing all the life insurance and just... stuff I would need to know.
Thanks for the update, it brought tears to my eyes.
Good luck! I really hope things work out for the best. It may not be a straight and fast track to healing. I'm sure there will be bumps in the road but it sounds like things are moving forward in a positive manner. That's HUGE!

One of my three biggest take-aways from lots of education was something muttered in passing by a retired political science professor. He said all politics boils down to the unsteady balancing act between two conflicting virtues which could be framed variously:
- Freedom vs. security,
- Liberty vs. justice,
- What I want vs. what we need,
- The ability to progress as far as you can vs. the safety net protecting all of us falling too far behind.
- Tough-minded individualism vs. Loving compassion for others
For me that balancing act shows up everywhere. I think of love relationships as a balancing act in which two people strive for freedom and safety, the liberty to be ourselves, moving at our own pace in our own directions but also wanting the security of having someone to count on in tough times. At the extreme, the promiscuous have lots of freedom but none of the security that comes from a partnership's safety net. The monogamous have lots of security but through faithfulness, some loss of freedom of association.

Why we were a little anxious for river to stop rising it was still beautiful.
You learn when to worry when the river is right off your back yard. We were waiting for it to stop rising but were not in a panic state yet (lol) well I was alittle but still enjoyed the view.
You see so much living here and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Also wanted to share another picture like one we posted last year on New Year of an eagle which is the same one we believe is
always behind our home also enjoying the river.

Candidates focus on family
Sharon issues include seniors, young adults
SHARON — Family concerns for residents are among the issues surfacing in the race for Board of Selectmen, where three candidates are vying for two seats.
Republican Dale Jones, Democrat Jessica Fowler and petitioning candidate John Mathews, who is unaffiliated, each want a seat on the board, and under new rules, voters can cast a vote for two selectmen candidates, rather than just one.

It just doesn't feel like the holidays until I've worked out my edible holiday gift game plan. This involves combing through cookbooks, food magazines and blogs and now, Pinterest boards for the perfect something-something to give my friends, family and co-workers. And by "something-something," I mean three or four something-somethings.
It's just so hard to decide whether to go with a sweet or savory recipe that I usually do both. (And then find some other delicious-sounding thing, and make that too.)
Sweet treats are more conventional – they are what people love (and expect) to get around the holidays: homemade cookies, candies, jars of jam, cocoa mixes. But pretty soon, you're drowning in sugar. Savory treats are more unexpected, but sometimes they don't seem as festive. You can't decorate a dill pickle or spicy nut mix with sparkly red and green sprinkles, afterall. That's where cute packaging comes in. I struggle to find just the right bag or box every year, then give up and use Tupperware or Mason jars.
This year, (spoiler alert!) I'm making cheddar-cayenne crackers, candied almonds and my make-it-every-year holiday gift: bourbon balls. The combination is sweet, smoky, savory and just labor intensive enough to satisfy my edible gift itch for another year.
Need some gift-giving inspiration? Try these recipes!

Michael Everett, who has lived in Kent over four decades and full time for the last 10 years, showed the board his idea for creating a new road connecting Kent Green Boulevard to Maple Street Extension. He also shared drawings that he made.

January 11, 2010, 12:02 AM
By Scott Raab
Andrew Hetherington
Let us stipulate that no one has firm purchase on the truth, much less on the truth whole or complete. And let us stipulate also that, however just and noble his ends may be, the means used by Patrick Fitzgerald to effect the climax of his case against the governor the 6:00 A.M. FBI raid at Casa Blago and the self-congratulatory noon press conference smack of prosecutorial grandstanding, if not abuse.
That still leaves us with a federal affidavit based on eight weeks of wiretapped phone calls that portray Blagojevich as both a scumbag and a whore, variously and allegedly trying to figure out exactly what he could get for Obama's old seat. A job for Patti. A Cabinet post for Blago Health and Human Services or an ambassadorship. Up to $1.5 million from those most able and willing to pay among the potential Senate candidates. Had Skittles been part of the family then, some collar bling might have been involved, too.
Blagojevich allegedly even ponders parachuting himself out of the governorship and into the Senate and allegedly at one point refers to the president-elect as a "cocksucker."
Forbidden to discuss the details of the tapes, Blago characterizes all these things in general terms as tossing around ideas "some of them were good, some were not so good" humdrum horse-trading and political spitballing.
"In conversations over the telephone, without me saying what's on it, because I can't, but I recall over and over I'm saying things like, 'If I can get this, how much do I love the people of Illinois to make that cunt senator?' "
How deeply stirred a Chicago jury may be by such stuff is anybody's guess. Likewise, who knows if the prosecutors can spin wiretapped calls about crimes never consummated into criminal convictions? Or if Blago truly has courage and craziness enough to let the government's lawyers cross-examine him under oath? But the apparent chasm between Blago the alleged lout allegedly scheming on the phone and this charismatic fellow quoting Kipling is hardly unusual in politics, and every other form of theater, and it won't be enough to keep him from going up the river for a few years.
The gang's all here Patti and the girls, Rod and Skittles. We're at a family friend's house to watch Manny Pacquiao fight Miguel Cotto for Cotto's welterweight title, twenty or so people in all, with plenty of food and booze.
It comes as no surprise that Blago boxed Golden Gloves back in the 1970s, or that he identifies with Pacquiao, who began his pro career as a 106-pounder and has battled his way to titles in seven weight classes. Cotto is bigger, more heavily muscled, and says Blago doomed to fall in eight or nine rounds tonight.
"For every little guy on the schoolyard, when the big guys push him around, and he's fighting back, Manny Pacquiao is an inspiration to us. It comes down to the schoolyard and little guys kicking the ass of the big guys."
"Come on, Rod," says the host, stopping by the couch with a bottle of Galliano. "You're not keeping up with me."
"I'm good, Bill."
"You keep saying you're good, but you're not drinking it."
"I'm in training," Blago tells him. "I'm fighting the U. S. government."
"You're gonna beat 'em."
"Damn right, baby."
"You're gonna knock 'em out."
Cotto manages to stagger through rounds 8 and 9, but Pacquiao, all angles and quick hands, clearly has the fight won long before the ref stops it a minute into the twelfth and final round.
It's past midnight and everybody's happy, except Skittles, who's sound asleep on the rug.
"Hey, Rod, you smoke a cigar with us?"
"Sure, Bill."
A few of us head out to the deck off the living room for a stogie before we head home.
"We're gonna think positive tonight," Bill says. "No negative. We love America. Great country. Land of opportunity."
Inside, Judy Garland's warbling "Over the Rainbow" someone must have changed the channel.
"Isn't Rod the greatest, you guys?" asks Bill.
There is general assent.
"Rod," Patti calls from the living room. "It's 1:00 A.M."
Nobody seems to have the cigar cutter.
"Did you take the cutter?" Bill asks Rod.
"I did not," says Blago, giggling. "That's another false accusation."

Is Greatness Born or Made?June 26th, 2014
How intriguing this question has been asked for thousands of years and yet the debate continues. You know what that means, don't you? That greatness is both born and made. Otherwise, we'd have a consensus and be able to quote specifically the scientific result. But no matter how scientists look at the question of whether greatness is born or made, the results pan out time and again that some people are born with the ability to achieve greatness due to their overwhelming genius – and some people work hard to become great due to their overwhelming desire to achieve. And then it gets complicated…
What about 10,000 hours to greatness?
As it turns out, experience (life, business, general) matters in becoming great – at anything. It's the repetitive skill building, however, that's been studied the Have you ever thought about tiny little things called interests and available opportunities? The skills and environment around us can actually make a difference. One blogger at Work in Bloom says it nicely, "So what's my answer to whether greatness is born or made? Both! We are born great and then must accept the challenge to walk life's journey as our unique selves to become that much greater." Rather than trying to gain a talent or skill you admire in someone else, look at your personality and interests. You naturally have an interest in something and abilities in some areas. Building on your strengths will move you much closer to becoming great than trying to copy someone else's strengths.
How to achieve greatness
Becoming great isn't easy, but it is simple. Begin to discover your innate talents and abilities. You probably already know at least some of them. Explore your personal strengths and then grow them through consistent and deliberate practice. You'll become great at what you practice because of an internal fascination and desire to get good at it. The Talent Code takes a deep look at talent and deep, driven practice to develop greatness. If you'd like more help, the Lee Group's consultants can help you with specific ideas.

For a brush with real nature, they can even observe bee behavior at the museum's enclosed hive.

Great message, Randy. It will take longer to hit a billion if you keep buying $300k watches though dude ;-)
By Randy Gage in Critical Thinking, Prosperity, Success.
It's funny how things work. In the last few weeks, I've been sharing meals with different friends and they all have picked up on something with me. Each has said something to the effect, "You don't seem to be driven by making money like you used to be."
Guilty as charged.
Which may seem strange to you, coming from a prosperity expert. But it's actually quite congruent. Because as your prosperity consciousness evolves, your definition of prosperity does as well.
I spent so many years broke, that initially, prosperity was about being able to pay my bills. After that, I started collecting cars and things, more out of fear of loss. Then it evolved to living better. And if you are a subscriber to my virtual seminars, you know we explored this subject deeply in the program on cosmic consciousness.
As you develop, you make the transmutation from self-consciousness into cosmic consciousness. You still do things for the joy they bring you, but often that joy comes from service and contribution. It becomes more about meaning.
Don't get me wrong: I still love fine clothes, sports cars, and living rich. I'm not turning into an ascetic. In fact, I just saw a $330,000 Hublot watch this weekend that really needs to be in my collection! And – I don't need money to appreciate the sunrise or sunset, a spring shower, a warm embrace, a card from a loved one, or to commit a random act of kindness.
Most of you know, one of my goals is to become a billionaire. It still is. But a fascinating transformation took place a few months ago…
I was watching a BBC report on the famine in Somalia. There, 58% of the kids are malnourished. The government is non-existent and fighting prevents many aid organizations from providing help. The UN is suggesting that 750,000 people could die. Watching the mothers trekking towards refugee camps, carrying malnourished babies, suddenly my goal changed.
I still want to be a billionaire. For one day. And then lose the status the very next day, by helping those kids in Africa.
We are living in the greatest time in human history. We have more blessings than ever before. And more opportunities to be a blessing.
Maybe you've noticed the tone in my recent posts about Play Big, Steve Jobs, and Dan Wheldon. I have a new and powerful philosophy that I live my live by. It's simple yet profound. It's deep and calls me to action. It's strong, and the language may be offensive to some. But it is my philosophy, and I invite you to make it yours:
Do Epic Shit.
Please. Stop playing small. Does it really matter that the guy got the parking space 10 feet closer to the door than you? That the lady in front of you has 11 items in the ten-item lane, or Sally has a cubicle six inches wider than yours?
That family member you're estranged from, is it really going to seem worth it when their funeral comes around? That person you're not talking to because they offended you – was it really that important? That goal you're shooting for right now – will it really make a difference in the world?
When you day comes – the way it did for Steve Jobs, Dan Wheldon and will come for all of us – what will you be remembered for?
Drives me crazy when a pro athlete dies and the newscasters report their lifetime stats. Really?
How were they as a parent and a spouse, what did they do with their foundation, how did they inspire others? That's the epic stuff I want to know about.
Please: Don't leave us with your book unwritten, your song not sung, or your dance not danced.
Do Epic Shit.

Thanks for the post Randy. i appreciate the (not so) subtle reminder to live life in a big way! Interesting and timely topic on helping people and children in Africa. My wife and I have a strong bond (having volunteered) with a wonderful organization in Namibia called Harnas Wildlife Foundation (www.harnas.org). Harnas's mission is to rescue and rehabilitate injured/orphaned animals and promote a sustainable method for living with in harmony with the local villages. In addition, they have policy of employing as many people from the local community as possible, supporting the socio-economic growth and well being of the people and establishing community empowerment programs (including the education of the local children). Just thought I would share.
Please keep up the great work!
O.K. I completely plan to do epic shit. No doubts, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get over the lady w/ 11 items in the express lane than writes a check!
Maybe I need to be more enlightened for that! But living epically and changing the world epically is in the works!
That's an epic post my man!
I love your post.
Great thoughts Randy! When my day comes it doesn't matter whether I'm remembered for what I've done. What matters is that whether I've done something things that have added value to others. This I believe is each of our purpose.
Fab. Thank you.
Speachless... Thanks Randy! GOD bless YOU!
Thanks for reminding us that there's more to life than the mundane stuff we usually clutter our minds and lives with.
Great post RG, and very timely too. Thanks!
Many thanks Randy. Having watched you for many years and been to events have watched the evolution.
Keep up the great work of saying what is in your heart.
I'm with you babe.
Randy, A great post! thanks for taking the time to share. I especially like the "Stop playing small" reminder.....thanks...
Hi Randy,
since I live ever since more close to Africa than you guys from America, our TV channels and newspapers offer lots of info about Africa-projects.
Still, after ages, there are very many blank spots left. Fresh water is great, schools are fine, medical support is fine, teachers for schools are fine, our "old" clothes and shoes are fine as well. But: who is watching afterwards? Who is coordinating all those little sub-projects and the bigger projects after they end or are they set-up to end anyways? Will they move onto another level? I doubt that. All this needs well coordinating. The up-grown kids need to work after school, they need streets, houses, small factories, small shops, water for the fields, they need to learn to live on their own, one day. Helping out isn´t working in the long run but it was a great beginning! If you start on that continent, pls. make sure, if your stage you want to enter there allows to, to get their potential growth developing. And try to make sure that "they" want professional support! Things should last.
Maybe in one of the growing cities you are going to support to build-up there will be a Randy Gage Street, their largest main street maybe?! Who knows? Go for it!!
--> good project idea! It´ll fulfil you.
Have fun!
LOVE this post, Randy. EPIC! :)
Randy you have always been charitable and giving, maybe to a fault even. What's new?
I thought lots about this post. I think what is new and epic is the setting aside of our egos and false selves, that want material things to be loveable and acceptable to others.
Our true selves that stand naked and wanting, are loveable just as they are. When we know this, we do the Epic Shit like loving ourselves enough to sacrafice others goodwill, for doing what is right for us, which means it is right for all.
There is nothing more courageous and satisfying than leaving our egos behind and doing what is right.
Also, generativity and altruism gives us the self fulfillment needed to mourn our own deaths. After that, doing Epic Shit isn't so scary. Well, it still might be a little scary....
From Empire Avenue @grangeweb
Do Epic Shit will be my phrase for the week. Love it !!
Africa's long term solution to poverty is not in having billions of aid being poured into it.
There are organisations that are addressing the situation at grassroots level, empowering the poor.
In Zimbabwe Foundations for Farming are doing amazing work and their projects are being copied & taught round the world.
They work in association with another amazing organisation called Anamed that originated in DR Congo.
Hi, Randy.
I totally agree with the wisdom of D.E.S. :)
Moreover, I've been waiting for the billionaire point of view since I became a fan of yours. That reason to become a billionaire really suits my heart best. Of course, one should first know how to love themselves, which you definitely do.
Thank you SOOOO MUCH!!!
You are just awesome!!!!! Love this :)))
As a South African (where things are a lot better than places like Somalia) i applaud you for living this philosophy. Please just make sure when you give its to the right organizations. With all the bad of Africa people in power is more money hungry than any other place in the world. There is a movement of entitlement and unfortunately corruption from governments and officials is a plague that will take dekades to eradicate.
Thanks for sharing this post Randy. This is an awesome goal. I'm sure that through this, you'll gain more followers and one day reach your goal of being a Billionaire. Have a great one. With all my transactions, that I make money with, I'm actually going to donate 10% of what ever I make to a charity. I think that's a start. Regardless of whether or not I write a book, or Raffle stuff, 10%. That's my dedication.
I affirm my mission statement thousands of times daily, for similar reasons. After spending a few months in Cambodia recently I saw what poverty was.
Now I want to help there, and live a rich life, and have nice things. I can do these things, by expanding my prosperity consciousness, helping, creating and being open to receive.
my favorite post of all times!! thank you Randy
Your right "on the money" with this post Randy! It's amazing what we can do for so many when we play BIG!
Hoping we all get as big if not bigger than you my friend.
Dexter Black
Thanks for the reminder Randy. We can't afford to live small anymore.
Thanks for the inspiring post! What am I leaving behind?
My favourite poem - The invitation "to do epic shit"
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain! I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it, or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day, and if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes!"
It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up, after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children.
It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away.
Interesting post, particularly on a day that the NYTIMES OP ED writer, Joe Nocera did a piece on how STARBUCKS is helping to create jobs in the U.S. and I don't mean by hiring baristas....check it out
Randy, THIS was an epic post. Absolutely love it :)
I will be forwarding you the first copy of both album and book. Thank you for reminding, encouraging me and sometimes... kicking my ass.
"I still want to be a billionaire. For one day. And then lose the status the very next day, by helping those kids in Africa"
This was interesting. I thought you could have the Billionaire status and save the kids in Africa. My good friend Randy Gage did a video on that subject maybe you should watch it? :)
How about set up a Billion Dollar company that helps people in Africa out of poverty and make a profit. The company can be worth a Billion and have the capital invested in worthy projects providing service to those who are disadvantaged. E.g micro finance bank. telecom for helping business grow, training company that teaches prosperity, computers, a fresh water company.
After listening to you I thought that serving the world was the way to Billions. The more we serve the more we get in return. Not the more we serve the less we have.
What do you think? or has your philosophy on that changed? I would love to hear your thoughts on this!
Thanks for the great blog and products, keep them coming!!!
Great post Randy.. But we expect the profound from you anyway :) It also reminds me of the amazing speech Mandela made when he was inaugurated. Am sure you're familiar with it too.
One of my favorite passages from it goes,
".. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.."
In other words, Do Epic Shit.
I'll join you in Africa! Love you, love you, love you!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxo
I love this post. So inspiring and meaningful. Thanks
Thanks Randy - Africa IS epic :)
I love this post. D-E-S for the win. I better stop being annoyed by my noisy neighbor and focus on writing my next book instead.
Thanks for the inspiration!
I agree Randy. Care a Damn for the World Thinking. What really matters is whether we made a difference for someone. If yes, that's what life is meant for
Hi Randy
Inspirational as always - I learned the lesson Late - > and I sweated about the little stuff for far too many years - Not any more..
Thanks again - Mick
Thank you, Randy, for your unselfish inspiration.
Randy. Just when I think I'm getting this prosperity stuff........
Love this one! Will be sharing it to my universe. Thank you, Mr Gage. D.E.S!
I went to an awards banquet and usually there's a rags to riches big name presenter. This time it was an English teacher and the topic was honor. Live by honor. Either it's right or it isn't. Don't do what you can get away with, do what needs to be done! His comparison was Polanski convicted of statuatory rape yet flees the country as a criminal avoiding his punishment and is awarded by the film guild for his contribution. Look at the whole picture people, not the thing that was done ok. The whole enchilada. Do the right thing, when you err pay the price then do honorable things. There will be times that you will suffer for doing the right thing but you will never regret living in honor and not in hypocrasy. Don't half commit to an endeavor, give it all you have and your self esteem and self worth will grow. If we all live in honor imagine how wonderful the world will be.
Yes Randy, D.E.S.!!
I'd do epic sh!t if I had an epic idea.... I'm inspired, but I lost my creativity and intuition.
Latest blog post: Live Now
If you have any links for these organizations, please post them here. Thanks, RG
Jennifer, that was gorgeous - thank you for sharing! xoxo
Simply beautiful.
I love your thinking on this. And you're correct, it doesn't have to be either or. The point I want to get across is the title has no meaning for me, other than to accomplish it, because that's a goal I set for myself. Other than that, it doesn't matter to me.
If you are looking for an idea, I have one: Do a bake sale, walk-a-thon, bike-a-thon, carnival or something to raise money for the kids in Africa and send it here: www.unicefusa.org/
thank you. I am deeply moved.

Adam and his brother, Jonny, view Friday night dinner as a necessary annoyance. They view it as necessary because they get fed, and annoying because they have to spend the evening with Mom and Dad. It's not that Mom and Dad aren't wonderful but, Dad drinks ketchup straight from the bottle, Mom is obsessed with Masterchef and even Grandma likes to wear her new bikini around the house. Of course every family has its idiosyncrasies but the Goodman's have made something of an art form of theirs. Wonderfully played by an ensemble cast, Friday Night Dinner is a truly original series about growing up but not growing away.

Scott Corrales reports that witnesses in Havana, Cuba saw a UFO. In North Carolina, a couple saw one three days in a row, before they finally contacted the police.
The Cuban newspaper Juventud Rebelde reports that a UFO was seen near a fairground. It was described as being "a small oval-shaped object, silver-colored and with a metallic tail, [which] landed in open field encircled by trees."
"I was tidying the shelves when a bright light came through the window. It was like a glowing ball with a tail in its lower section. I showed it to my mother quickly and ran outside to see where it would fall," says Raul Beltran. "It lifted off rather perpendicularly and then left through the palm trees. It didn't make any noise nor issue any smoke. The only thing I'm sure of is its size: more or less the size of a pickup truck tire, or thereabouts."
His mother Odalis says, "When my son showed it to me, I thought it was a kite or a parachutist, since skydivers drop over EXPOCUBA every so often. After, as it came down, I realized that it could be nothing of the sort, since it was smaller and glowed a lot. It looked like a mirror."
Remigio Sanchez, who works nearby, saw the UFO at about the same time. He says, "It was a powerful glow in the sky, but it was far away so I thought it was a flare. When I got to Odalis's house, she told me that a device had landed nearby."
The grass and small plants at the site where the UFO landed appear burned, although this could be due to the drought.
In North Carolina, Arnold and Lena Crook were able to watch a UFO for three nights. On Monday night, Arnold saw a light in the sky that "kind of danced around." He called his wife to see it and "She said it was an airplane." He told her, "It's not an airplane, just wait and watch it jump around."
Jessie Burchette writes in the Salisbury Post that Tuesday night, they went out to see if they could spot it again?and they did. Wednesday night, there were even more of them. Arnold says, "Last night it was several lights, kind of like a big old box." They didn't tell anyone about it until Thursday, when they reported it to the local police.
We've seen UFOs for years, but what is the alien agenda?

We learned on last week's Silicon Valley episode of the longstanding tension between Peter Gregory and Gavin Belson. But last night, we were finally treated to a face-to-face confrontation between the arch-nemesis billionaires — and were reminded how despite their money, rich people often behave like babies.
Mr. Gregory freaks out when Mr. Belson shows up at the same restaurant as him — here's a man who can find a way to make bajillions of dollars off sesame seeds, but can't possibly fathom socializing normally with one of his peers. After a cringeworthy exchange of courtesies, Mr. Belson tells Mr. Gregory that he'll be the keynote speaker at TechCrunch Disrupt, and that he'll be unveiling Nucleus — Hooli's Pied Piper counterpart — in the startup battlefield. Later in the episode, Monica tells Richard that now he must present Pied Piper at the conference, or else it'll look like Mr. Gregory is "running way" from Mr. Belson.
"Peter would spend millions just to mildly annoy Gavin," she says. "These are billionaires, Richard. Humiliating each other is worth more to them than we'll make in a lifetime."
In other words, most tech billionaires are just huge babies. Seriously — if you look past their huge amounts of power and money, Mr. Gregory and Mr. Belson are each no more sophisticated than your average Regina George.
And sadly, that's not so unlike many of the tech powerhouses currently ruling Silicon Valley.
Take Snapchat CEO and multi-millionaire Evan Spiegel, for instance — remember when he behaved like a stubborn child and took a week and a half to finally apologize for the massive leak of 4.6 million users' personal data? And then, of course, there was the time Mr. Spiegel tried to convince Forbes that he'd made Mark Zuckerberg travel to L.A. to meet with him — when really, Mr. Zuckerberg had just conveniently happened to be traveling there, anyway.
And speaking of Mr. Zuckerberg, let's not forget the time he and Sean Parker got in a very public, drunken fight at a West Hollywood nightclub over whether or not Spotify should require users to sign up for Facebook. COOL, GUYS. Definitely something worth brawling over.
And yes, we're talking about Mr. Parker — he who childishly whined and complained when everybody got mad at him for destroying a huge chunk of endangered redwoods. His life must be so hard.
We guess these childlike antics are what happen when you're ultra-rich and don't have real-world problems to contend with. If we didn't have to worry about making rent and finding a way into work when the subways are down, we'd probably pick stupid fights with people at fancy nightclubs, too.
There's also the possibility that because many of tech's big names stumbled onto huge sums of money and power at such young ages, they were never forced to employ adult behavior to get ahead. Maybe they're all emotional vampires — they stop maturing as soon as they achieve success.
Whatever the case, if Mike Judge is really going for accuracy, this season better end with a mystical, medieval-themed wedding where Mr. Gregory wears a fur cape and Olivia Munn holds bunnies.

Just heard on the news that they can't try and cap the well till Tuesday ??? And if that don't work it may leak till Aug or Sept till they diagonal drill to relieve the pressure. WTF ? The Gulf looks like a toxic waste dump and the ecological impact is off the scale. Apparantly BP was repeatedly warned their fail safe systems were old and questionable. Now I'm no tree hugger and I like my gas affordable but BP should be held accountable if it is proven they were negligent. Alot of peoples lives may be completely changed because of this. Tax dollars should not be spent on this clean up.
plenty of oil threads to go on.this oil gusher is the greatest threat to the ocean i love in my lifetime.however,that was not the original subject of this thread.
since i started this thread,
looks like we're surfing again.
i was about to lose it.
there's waves again right now.
Ahh i have gift card to BP gas stations haha.
And yeahhh more surf!!
yuppppp! Looks like a little mini tropical storm is gonna hang out off the outer banks! I thought this started happening early last year but end of May?! I'll take it!
They are calling this system - Extratropical. Since it is cold core, it doesn't have tropical cyclone characteristics. Nonetheless, it looks to provide a nice fetch of SE winds in our direction.
Ive heard that this could potentially be a named storm.. Alex? That's only if it becomes a little bit stronger, which I don't believe is forecasted to do so. Either way, bring on some waves! It's been far too long for a source of swell for this long of a time.
I was out yesterday in OC and the water was real green, smelled fresh, and a lot of seaweed and vegetation was floating around getting stuck all over me.
Let's hope it doesn't turn oily.. ever. Restore the moratorium!
What urks me the most is when this all happened in the gulf and Company out of Russia said they could stop oil leak within 48 ours. BP declined there help what a bunch of Cheap Jerk offs
Stoked for some warmth and waves

I'm a GENIUS!!
I posted this to my LJ but I wanted to post this here too in case some blurty passers-by happened to catch it and wanted to tell me that they too think this is the greatest idea since the digital watch
So it's as I'm scrolling through an episode guide for the first two or so seasons of MMPR the other day and reliving how wonderfully cheesy this show was/is, and desperately wishing I hadn't been such a pussy in middle school, and early high school, and actually kept all of my old episodes on tape. (I sadly taped over most of them like a fucking moron, and now I have to pay to get the vaguely ok eps off of Amazon) And it suddenly hits me how this show could have really made it, if instead of going for the 'little kids, Saturday morning show' rout; Went instead for the 'HBO soft core porn series' type show. You know like those horrid TV movies they'll play in the wee hours of the weekends on the movie channels after like 'The Red Shoe Diaries' They feature lame sex based storylines w/ very basic, and simple plots and are usually narrated by a chipper, and vaguely mischievous sounding woman. And it tries to play out as a regular TV movie, until they throw in a sudden random sex scene that contains lame stripteases and people grinding together in a way that shows off no genitalia what so ever except for the woman's giant coconut breasts. and has lots of slow shots of them sharing sloppy, tongue filled kisses. All done to the horrible home economic video- keyboard/pan flute muzak. :D I mean think about it! Instead of a live-action Americanized Voltron, we'd have like a live-action Americanized Voltron: meets La Blue Girl! :D
And I've really thought about this. Probably way too much! But then again I had to travel out to VA for a birthday party/ baby shower, so I had plenty of time *to* think on this. There were so many episodes just in those first too seasons that all it would need is for the evil villain to be a little on the skanky side for the show to have taken a completely different turn. Just a little twist to the plot evil plot and boom! We have porn!
For example: Instead of the five rangers traveling to Billy's Uncle's cabain for the weekend to study for school finals, and being forced to have dreams of there worst failures, in order to lower there self confidence, thereby rendering them powerless; Have them instead be given wonderfully erotic wet dreams which will A) either cause them to engage in a wild all out orgy in the cabin there by forgetting to go and save the world when the monsters begin to attack. Or B) keeps them stuck in there erotic nightmares until Alpha five has to go and find a way to wake them up. Wacky hilarity ensues! :D
Or the episode where Billy and Kimberly swap bodies, ! I bet there were tons of scenes we could have had there! Like learning that the other sex doesn't have it quite as easy as we thought they did, and why exactly Billy was always wearing those huge baggy overalls. Which gives over to a whole bout of scenes revolving around the importance of self-exploration wacky music and silly sound effects will accompany the scenes.
Or how about the episode where the baddies create a team of fake rangers who look just like them and are sent down to Angel grove to get into mischief and mayhem so that the power rangers are stuck in detention while evil and chaos ensues outside. It'd be a lot funnier if instead of getting being stuck in detention for putting soup powder in the water fountain, they got stuck in drunk tank for the night because the imposters were caught giving hand jobs outside of the local library!
And there would be all new monsters! with the same horrible special effects! (AKA: cheap 4th o' July fireworks stuffed in the ground and set off at the same time a good five feet away from the actors) There would be like… The Tounge-inator! With his mighty cunnlingus whip! And uh the powerful Venus Butterfly! :D and they would have to defeat them with their mighty Vibra-zords!
It so could have worked! And it still would have had all the great morals that people learned in the end of each episode, like safe sex, and keeping your threesomes with partners that you know and trust, and that it's important to get consent from you're partner before you try to bang him in the ass with a strap on. You know. All the stuff that normal shows are just to shy to make sure the kids know. ^_^
::sigh:: why aren't I just fucking ROLLING in money right now? I mean really!

Mont Ventoux: A Fourth Way Up (By Mountain Bike)

Many cyclists have heard of the Club des Cinglés (Crackpots) du Ventoux. The basic idea…
Here are ten great routes from 2013 along with some photos that I quite liked. Happy New Year.
This weekend Ricardo Ricco, the "Boys from St Etienne," and I participated in the Ventoux Night Sessions.
As a pre middle-of-the-night ride we cycled this 76 kilometre route – primarily through the magnificent Les Gorges de la Nesque.
Woooohoooo. I'd had been feeling relatively fit, so I decided to try something a little crazy as the season winds down.
My ten favourite cycling photos of 2011
Bike route 1044069 – powered by Bikemap The afternoon before our 3am assault of Ventoux…
I receive a few emails each week asking questions about cycling in the Alps.
To save some effort, I thought I'd put some of the more frequently asked questions / answers here.

Greentopia + your bike – a perfect match
If you're planning to go to the inaugural Greentopia Festival at High Falls the weekend after next, here's an idea — ride your bike there with a group of like-minded folks.
Greentopia, an ambitious exercise in education and entertainment, will feature dozens of exhibits, demonstrations, films, talks by distinguished environmentalists, performances and so on. It runs from 10 am to 6 pm on Saturday, Sept. 17 and Sunday, Sept. 18. If you want to know more, visit the website or check out a video of the official announcement in April.
Everyone who attends the free festival is take home at least one good idea for greening their own lives, and they're encouraged to come and go without leaving carbon footprints behind them.
Hence the Greentopia Moving Planet Bike the Bridges Self-Guided Bike Ride. The six-mile ride begins at 9 am on Saturday, Sept. 17 at the Genesee Valley Park sports complex, 131 Elmwood Avenue alongside the Genesee.
The proximity of the river is key, as the route to High Falls will involving crossing the Genesee no fewer than eight times on bridges large and small, high and low. It should be a blast!

Pirates' coins to be sold

• Hanson head porter Karl Martin poses with a piece of eight (left) and Spanish 'Cob' (right)
Do you have news for us?
Click to contact the newsdesk!
By Kathryn Richardson
RARE 300-year-old coins found in a British shipwreck off the coast of Gibraltar will be sold in England next week.
The pieces are believed to be the currency used by pirates and were recovered from the HMS Association which launched from Portsmouth in 1697.
The boat was also used in the Capture of Gibraltar in 1704.
The types of coin found were 'pieces of eight' and the Spanish 'cob'.
The 'pieces of eight' is known as the world's first global currency used across the Spanish Empire.
The unusually shaped Spanish 'cob' was used in the 17th century and was cut into shapes to be melted down to make jewellery.
Together the coins are valued at £50.
A Hanson Auctioneers & Valuers spokesman said: "The sole association of pieces of eight and pirates has grown, and now they are commonly used in films such as the Pirates of the Caribbean."
Daniel Defoe refers to the coins in Robinson Crusoe when Crusoe sold a boy for 60 pieces of eight.
Robert Louis Stevenson also made them famous in his novel Treasure Island when Long John Silver's parrot was trained to cry out 'pieces of eight'.
The HMS Association sank in 1707 off the coast of Scilly on its return to England.
Its 800 crew died in the disaster.

The Association sank, along with other major ships, in 1707 on the rocks of Scilly Islands, Cornwall, UK and have little to do with Gibraltar other than its capture.
Pieces of eight are commonly recovered from shipwrecks of the 16th-17th centuries, sometimes in tens of thousands.

Mindclaw: What do you think this weapon will be??
18th Mar 2001, 03:24 PM
My message is in my title! This weapon will give psychic power? What do you think??
19th Mar 2001, 09:04 PM
i'm thinkin' A big claw with a bunch of wire coming off of it that when you attack with it, your victem's screen goes red for a second and he takes a bit of damage.
No protection from armour kiddies.
Tetris L
27th Mar 2001, 03:36 PM
Where is that "mindclaw" mentioned to appear in U2? Link to the source would be appreciated.
Sounds like U2's melee weapon to me. Anybody remembers the melee weapon from the game Heretic? You could fry your opponents with lightning from your hands (a bit like the pulse secondary shaft, but much shorter range):
I think the mindclaw will be something simular. Wild guess though. :D
[edit]Damn, Mobygames won't let me link directly to the image. :( Just click the link.[edit]
28th Mar 2001, 05:44 AM
I imagine it like this:
it's like an amulet you wear on your head, and when you activate it with your mind a lightning-like claw appears out of your head or the amulet, that attacks the enemy
18th Apr 2001, 02:41 PM
Akira like powers maybe? :) with only one thought, i can obliterate you...
maybe a claw that comes out of your head, and rips your opponents skull open, taking out the brains with a spoon? :)?
22nd Apr 2001, 10:13 PM
I imagined it as more of a cerebrial bore like in Turok2.
23rd Apr 2001, 05:30 PM
reminds me off that weapon in that doom conversion megawad pak, called STRAIN.
If you had this weapon, you could launch 7 rockets, and it would make a shrieking sound..
the name of the weapon: i'm not sure uhm..
nerf blaster or something alike (damn, i'll have to check strain :)...) i'll be back.
Wait, i think it was the psychic blaster (very cool shrieking sound)
What it did was frying the monsters their brain :)
25th Apr 2001, 03:32 AM
I think it will be something like the Ordos' Deviator (Dune2). Anyone knows wat I'm saying?
