Review of chapter "Epilogue – Hank and the Red Phone" from
I really really want to see a sequel to th is fic. I love to see Xander and Anise/Freya in a happily ever after. It might also be fun to have them deal with some of the SGC big bads or use some SGC tech on demons.
I honestly want to know more about Giles and his family as well working that in would be fun as well. I love to see Buffy and the gang meet Thor and company or maybe Loki. The little grey bugger has to be useful for something. Cloning for babies for the slayers sounds cool plus maybe they could save the asgard. I hated what the show did to the little grey demons.
Comments from author:
Thanks. And thanks for the review. (I love recommendations too, since I have a fragile ego. :D)
I left several sequel hooks in both of the stories, but my muse has decided to focus on entirely different stories lately. But I never know when I will suddenly get a smack in the back of the head with a spiked warclub, and inspiration (and bloodloss) will ensue! I wasn't going to write 'League of Extraordinary Women' but I saw the challenge and my muse went insane. I had a concept within seconds and a list of women in minutes and an outline before I went to bed that night. So at any moment, I might follow up on this series. But no guarantees. Right now my muse is forcing me to work on other stuff.

Review of chapter "Anise and the Host" from
This was a great peek to the inner thinking of Anise/Freya, and really explains her so-alien attitude. And LOL, the only other person on Earth that might compare to Xander is Jack himself and she already blew THAT possibility.
Comments from author:
Yeah, she blew that possibility apart like Jonathan Levinson trying to ask out Cordelia Chase.

Review of chapter "Rona and the Eavesdropping" from
I love the new 'rules' about what can and can't be worn to a Council Halloween party - makes complete sense to me! (Snake Plisken was a great costume for Xander, too!) Rona embarrassing Andrew and Emily was a bonus and incredibly funny.
Comments from author:
Thanks. If I were a member of the Council, I would choose my Halloween costumes with *great* care.
No I wouldn't. I'd go as Squirrel Girl every year. She's cute. She's adorable. She can break the fourth wall so she'd know what was really going on. And she can take down ANYTHING. Literally anyone and anything. Who else in Marvel has singlehandedly beaten Dr. Doom or Thanos or Fin Fang Foom? Plus I could bring snacks in my utility belt and stay in character.

Review of chapter "Buffy and the Interruption" from
LOL, I googled the Philippine Islands just for the heck of it to see some of the island names that Buffy might be mangling - and OMG, there's a lot that would just mess with your brain! But one I saw was pretty close - Calibangbangan - and I could see how that would come out to be what Buffy said!
Comments from author:
I prefer to blame it on Slayer hearing or something. (As I did quite specifically in 'Xendra'.)

I enjoyed reading this the first time, the second time and now a third time. I laughed like a fool at Hanks call to the president; Again.

I find this Willow to be an evil insane bitch. Doing that to anyone is unforgivable. Even if you think they asked for it.

Review of chapter "Epilogue – Hank and the Red Phone" from
Wow, this series had me laughing so much! Really awesomely funny without falling into "wacky OOC antics" territory. All the characterization was great, and even made me like some of my more disliked characters a bit more. I loved loved loved the interactions with Andrew, Rona and Emily. I understand the demands of a stubborn muse, but if you ever write more in this series, I would be the happiest of campers.
Comments from author:
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the stories. I wouldn't mind a recommendation or two, so other people are more likely to find them.
I did leave half a dozen sequel hooks in there, some more obvious than others, but my muse is currently messing with other stuff.

I have no idea how anything I know could improve your writing. So all I can do is encourage you by telling you I love it and more is never enough.
Comments from author:
Thanks! More reviews and more recommendations are aways good, and hearing that people want to re-read my work is a good tonic.

Review of chapter "Rona and the Eavesdropping" from
Hey! Nothing wrong with star wars that wouldn't be fixed nicely by turning the second word into trek. LOL. My wife and I had our wedding reception in Quark's before they closed the star trek experience in Las Vegas. We rode the shuttle ride several times before it was closed. I remember it was about 15 minutes long by my watch but it seemed about 4 minutes long subjectively. Star ships battling it out right over Las Vegas while your shuttle tries to evade and land safely is amazingly exciting from inside the shuttle. Way better than any mundane roller coaster.
Comments from author:
Nothing wrong with Star Wars that wouldn't be fixed by getting to George Lucas about 1996 and convincing him that he can't write interpersonal relationships and he still needs serious editorial and studio oversight. Jar Jar Binks? Seriously?

Review of chapter "Epilogue – Hank and the Red Phone" from
I just reread this story, so want to say again how much I like it. Especially the format of a dozen different PoVs passing focus from one to another, but each chapter being a self-contained story that can be read or skipped separately. And I like how you give an idea of many characters' lives in a few chapters.
You mentioned four plot hooks in the other story's epilogue, so I guess those are: officer's daughter as a new Slayer; Slayers at Atlantis; Slayers protecting Stargate base; and Xander/Anise romance. The first two I'd really like to see continued, even if just for a couple chapters. (The reaction of people at Atlantis when a dozen Slayers show up should be quite amusing. :P) (And I like the humor in your stories in general, so this would be particularly good.)
Comments from author:
Thanks. I put all the plot hooks in there as possible future stories, but my muse is just not interested right now. Unfortunately for me, at any second she may change her mind and beat me with a club until I cooperate. She's like that.

Review of chapter "Anise and the Host" from
So I was blazing through Alex's story when I managed to tear myself away, realizing I didn't have the time to read *all* of that again. I went to the topfics section to find something to distract myself with before my resolved faltered, and I noticed XaYAD was right next to TSRoAM in the ranking. Before I knew it I was almost done re-reading it all (again) and it was 3 a.m.
I ended up exhausted the next day, and this is ALL YOUR FAULT. I'm blaming you for making such entrancing stories filled with so much finely crafted details that they beg for multiple re-reads. The only way I could forgive you such a heinous crime would be to post the next Ayla chapters over at the Author's Corner (or any other place I can access).
That said, the Anise PoV chapter is probably my favorite. I really wasn't expecting to like this character but after seeing things from her side I can only cheer her on, and it makes the relationship with Xander so much more satisfying. It's one of the main reason I'd be happy if one day you used the hooks you've set up to write more so I can see how they get along together. (I know that it's all up to your muse, of course)
Comments from author:
Thanks. Still, that's only one of the hooks in there, so my muse might choose something *entirely* different to write on, even if she dove into that universe again.

This was the most delicious magical bondage scenario I've ever read. Kudos.

LOVE your work, and just thought you'd like to know that *g*

Comments from author:
I'm glad you liked it! I wouldn't mind a recommendation too, if it's that good.
As for a sequel, I have pitched five to my muse. So far, she has shot each of them down. With live ammo. :-) When she gets intrigued, a sequel will appear, even if she has to beat me to a pulp to get it. (It would not be the first time.)

Review of chapter "Epilogue – Hank and the Red Phone" from
Great set of side stories. These would have worked just as well if merged into a single long fic with the original IMO.
Comments from author:
Thanks. I hadn't even *thought* about writing these extra scenes until well after the first story was completed. Months after I finished the first story. But my muse is a fickle woman. fickle, and possessed of a right cross that Rocky Marciano would envy.
BTW, I love reviews. Thanks for reading and writing. If oyu want to drop me a recommendation or two, I'm good with that as well!

Review of chapter "Epilogue – Hank and the Red Phone" from
Both of these stories are well and truly great. I'd love sequels but as Diane says, when her muse tells her to write something that's what gets written. On the other hand, having read as much of her work as I can find, this level of story telling and writing is exactly what I expect to find. Absolutely superb! Like Larry Niven or Robert A. Heinlein's books, when I first found their stories, Diane's are something I would buy sight unseen if I ever found them in a bookstore.
Diane, if you have any other Nom de Plume's please tell me what they are so I can find your published works.
PS: Love the Whately stories, where I first read her work.
Comments from author:
Thanks for reading and reviewing. And thanks for the rec on the second story! Not that I'd mind one on the first story too... :-)
Unfortunately, I have no nom de plumes. All my stuff is under Diane Castle, although sometimes my middle name (Lynn) or middle initial (L.) is there too.
And my Whateley stuff is my very first stuff on the web. I wrote some fanfic for Whateley and sent it to the canon cabal for review because I was making some guesses about their direction which might be spoilers. They read my story and offered me membership in the canon cabal. You could say that I was assimilated. :-)

A seemingly serendipitous event has left me reflecting on one of my habits or samskaras (loosely translated as deep impressions).
Recently, I found myself gazing at my computer keyboard while browsing Facebook. I noticed how fingerprinted the keys and screen had become so I grabbed a cloth and began cleaning. The computer was not shut off so the screen began rapidly changing and blinking as I swiped across the keyboard. As I was finished, one of those inspirational sayings, posted by one of my friends, appeared in full screen When you say yes to others make sure you are not saying no to yourself.
That message, which was either pure coincidence or a Divine intervention of some sort, was the push I needed to face one of my biggest challenges. I am the consummate people pleaser. I have mastered the art of the attempting to make others happy. Problem is I often sacrifice myself in the process. This is one of the things I love (and that sometimes annoys me) about living a life that is constantly working toward enlightenment. My emotional baggage comes out , stares me down then demands a resolution of whatever problem is holding me back. That's the hard part. I do know that once I work past what is preventing me from living my best life, I typically feel joyful, like a major weight has been lifted off my shoulders, literally — as I've been practicing shoulder stand to help change my negative samskara. More on that later.
Letting go of a samskara takes both diligence and willingness to work through the habit. The word samskara comes from the Sanskrit sam, complete or joined together and kara means doing or action. Samskaras are actions, impressions or ideas that combine and make up our conditioning. The more a samskara is repeated, the stronger it grows and the harder it is to stop.
My samskaras that make others people's opinions about me and what I am doing matter more than my own opinions must cease to exist. People pleasing keeps you stuck, it negates personal development and it's exhausting. So I am working on being okay with being unpopular, at least some of the time. Here's my plan of attack: opening my 5th Chakra (Vishuddha or throat chakra). I'm doing this through a regular series of poses, breath work and meditation. My favorite throat chakra balancers are Ustrasana (Camel pose), Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge), and Salamba Sarvangasana (Supported Shoulderstand) and Mats asana (Fish). I also plan to do a juice cleanse to wash away all the built up yuck that has invaded my body as the result of not speaking my truth sometimes.
The good news is, I have accepted that painful events and difficult situations will always happen, but I can choose not to suffer (there is a big difference between pain and suffering!). I am thankful for the yogic tools that I can call upon when I need some tuning up in my life and even when I just need some maintenance.
I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure: which is: Try to please everybody. -Herbert Bayard Swope, American Journalist and Editor

I am about to order the performance version and I am torn between ordering the carbon interior vs a wood interior. I know I want the tan leather at least. Advice I have received thus far is that wood tends to be for an older generation yet a bit more luxury where as the carbon fiber is younger and sportier yet not as luxurious. I am curious what others are ordering. Please share your age, interior and if you are ordering the performance model. Also feel free to share your thoughts on the subject in general. I am interested to see if there is a trend on age and interior.
blue performance tan 21 silver wheels tech pkg.
40 - performance, blue/grey, carbon fibre, 21" grey wheels.
I hate wood in cars, piano black would have been my choice in a non-perf., but I'd then rather have matte black or brushed aluminium.
Multicoat red, Performance, 21" silver, black interior, CF (the red striping on the black leather seats is so cool ...)
52 yo male
With the carbon fiber accents already on the car, I thought this was a good combo.
Considered the wood, but to me it looked very contemporary, and I find that anything that is contemporary now looks dated at some point in the future. (Think avacado green kitchen appliances.) The same could be said for CF, perhaps, so as others have said it really is a preference issue. IMHO the piano black was too plain and plastic-y, so I had to choose between the CF and the wood, and finally decided that the CF looked more appropriate for a performance car.
Good luck!
The alternative for those not really sure, and those that may prefer something different to what is on offer, any of the gloss finished choices, and then vinyl film wrap at any time to change the appearance. There is an almost endless choice of designs in films, including a textured carbon fibre....
Can even be considered for the sill panels all round - which is something i am considering - therefore even a standard spec sig could have a carbon fibre interior if you choose... even there, there are a range of carbon fibres.....

So far, great feedback. Thanks everyone. Its looking roughly 2/3 of the performance buyers are going with Carbon Fiber. Non Carbon Fiber is trending with mostly obeche matte and several piano black. I noticed no trend in age too which is great. All great comments. Keep them coming.
btw...in person, the colors are much different. Tan is lighter, blue exterior is darker etc.
Mid-40's. Black P85; 21" silver wheels; tan leather; debating gloss obeche vs. CF; pano; tech + sound.
I think the gloss obeche works really well to tie together the dark grey/black above the dash with the tan leather below. Wood has been in cars forever and probably will be forever. My only issue with this is whether it says "town car luxury" a bit too much. But Elon got it, so there you have it.
The carbon fiber is nice in many respects but I think it really loses definition at angles and the effect just simply gets lost unless you're looking at it fairly straight on (I started a separate thread seeking input on this from people who have actually taken delivery with the CF so please comment there if you have!!). I also worry that it's a bit too "in" and it's trying too hard to make a fast 4-door sedan into a track-worthy 2-seat sportscar with a big engine.
The matte obeche is nice, I guess I just like how the gloss brings out the color more to tie into the tan leather I'm getting. If I weren't getting tan, I'd be more tempted to get matte.
64 -- performance, brown/tan, 21" silver wheels, carbon fiber interior details (just like kishdude). FYI, when ordering in September I was told CF is only available on Performance S, which arguably is a nice cue that you're driving a P85.
31 - silver, 19" wheels, piano black, tan leather, pano roof, tech, air suspension
33 - Carbon fiber, Black Performance, Black Leather.
Details, details.
57 - New Red, Performance, Black Interior, all toys.
Age: 34. Dolphin Grey with tan, Performance with grey wheels, and obeche gloss. Not a fan of the obeche matte, but that's just personal preference.
77, 85Kwh standard, silver, black interior.
59 yrs, SIG red or new red, Tan, matte obeche, 21 inch
parking sensors
25yo male
Brown, tan w/obeche matte. Delicious.
54 White with Pano on Black Performance with 21" Wheels, Tech and Obeche Gloss.
46M Pearl white, grey leather, piano black, 21" silver, tech, sound, pano roof. It's a dream come true.
42/male, Signature Red Performance, 21" silver (though wearing 19" wheels/winter tires now), black interior with CF. I changed my configuration several times after "finalizing" (I am sure I drove TM crazy). I had the same wood vs. cf dilemma, but I absolutely love what I received.
How did you get parking sensors? Aftermarket or wishful thinking. My wife could sure use parking sensors.
Mid 50s
Performance model -Black/Black/CF/21" grey wheels
(Very) wishful thinking
60 female, pearl white, tan interior, obeche matte, tech, air, 85kwh
55 yr old male, blue performance, black interior, Obeche Gloss
just signed the paperwork. Final choice: Performance, Blue, Tan, Carbon Fiber, 21 Silver Wheels, Tech, Twin Charger, Sound Package, no spoiler.
A special thanks to Sean Lafond at corporate and the Natick MA team...they spent a lot time with me today. The true Tesla difference.
58 male
silver performance with silver 21 wheels, black interior with CF, no spoiler, no pano
I'm in the ordering process. So far I have Blue Perf, grey interior, 21" Wheels (but still deciding between grey vs silver). Matte obeche vs. lacewood (still deciding).
Thanks for the tip on avoiding the GLOSS obeche. I'm in Dallas and the nearest store is in Houston, which I visited over 6 months ago and can't recall all the details of the options. So I would appreciate your pics. My email is: email@example.com. Do you have any thoughts on the 21" grey vs. silver wheels?
64 Male, P5981
Silver Performance, gray leather, obeche matte, silver 21's, pano, tech, sound, eom dely!
Hi Austin. I would also appreciate your pics of the tan interior with obeche matte. I'm at firstname.lastname@example.com
I'm 38. Planning for a blue 60kwh, tech, air, sound upgrades.
34, 60 kWh, white ext, black leather, obeche matte, pano.
Have a CLS AMG now with matte wood. I think the matte is a great contrast to the 17" screen.
47. dark grey, obeche gloss, black leather, non perf. standard wheels, tech and sound package.

The Bosch Group in the United Kingdom said during its annual UK press conference that it continues to view the Consumer Goods and Building Technology sector as one of the sectors with the largest opportunity for growth.
"We see a strong growth opportunity for robotic applications in the consumer market," said Peter Fouquet, president of Bosch UK at the press conference.
He noted that Bosch will soon begin manufacturing robotic lawn-mowers at the Stowmarket, UK Bosch plant.
"In addition," he added, "our home appliances products are pioneering and setting standards worldwide. In 2011, we held the record for the most efficient washer-dryer."
Bosch appears to have already launched the British-built robotic lawnmower in at least one European market: the Indego was billed as the world's first intelligent lawn mower when it was unveiled in Sweden in late-May 2012. The unit is designed to recognize and mow around trees, flower beds, and gravel areas. The unit is designed to be easier to use than other robotic mowers because pre-programming is not required.
The unit's intelligence means it mows using parallel navigation, as opposed to the less efficient random navigation used by some other robotic mowers.
The unit also keeps track of its charger and its own current grass-cutting status. If it needs to stop mid-trim to recharge, it can return to the same spot to pick up where it left off. The unit is equipped with a lithium-ion battery.
Charging takes about 90 minutes and the unit can run about 20 minutes, cutting about 200 square meters, on a single charge. It takes about 10 hours total to mow 1000 sq m, said to be much faster than competitive robotic mowers. The mower is said to mow a lawn for an electricity cost of about one-tenth of the cost of gasoline to mow with a conventional lawn mower.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

The Court could duck, or decide to allow "Jerusalem, Israel" to appear as a birthplace on passports -- or blaze a new trail in foreign affairs law
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Speaker of the House John Boehner, and Chief Justice John Roberts walk into a bar.
You know the punch line: "Is this some kind of joke?" Not today, because there's a serious question for one of the three -- "What should we write on this passport?"
But which one should you ask?
That's the question raised by Zivotofsky v. Clinton, argued yesterday in the Supreme Court. The stakes in the case seem small -- whether the words "Israel" or "Jerusalem" should be written in the "Place of Birth" blank on a child's passport. But constitutional cases often wrap important issues in seemingly trivial guise.
United States foreign policy for the past sixty years has been not to recognize the sovereignty of any one country over the contested city of Jerusalem. Initially, the city was divided; but Israel captured it all in 1967 and shortly afterwards proclaimed it as the "undivided capital" of the country. Meanwhile, the international community, including the United States, insists that the "final status" of Jerusalem can only be determined as part of a comprehensive settlement of the Arab-Israeli dispute.
American supporters of Israel have long demanded that the U.S. recognize Jerusalem as the capital. In 2002, Congress added language to the State Department's appropriation bill urging the U.S. to move its embassy and directing the State Department, which issues U.S. passports, to allow American citizens born in Jerusalem to choose between "Jerusalem" and "Israel" in the "Place of Birth" blank. When the appropriations bill reached his desk, President George W. Bush signed it, but issued a "signing statement" that said that the Jerusalem section "impermissibly interferes with the President's constitutional authority to conduct the Nation's foreign affairs and to supervise the unitary executive branch." Since then, the State Department has ignored it.
Menachem Zivotofsky, Jerusalem-born, turned 9 on October 17. His American-born parents are suing to require the State Department to write "Israel" for his place of birth. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia dismissed the case. Two of the three judges held that the case is a "political question," meaning that the two political branches should work it out and that courts have no role to play. The third judge, Senior Judge Harry T. Edwards, said that deciding such questions was clearly an executive power.
Article II, the sketchy outline of executive power, says that the president "shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers "; the only other mention of foreign affairs is the grant of power to make treaties "by and with the advice and consent of the Senate." Beginning with George Washington, presidents have construed the "receive ambassadors" clause as a grant of power to determine which governments are recognized and what the nation's policy toward them shall be. By the 20th Century, it had become hornbook law that the president is "the sole organ of the Nation in its external relations."
Congress's claims authority over passports, drawing from an inferential power (initially shared with the states) to prohibit the "migration or importation of... persons" (meaning slaves) into the U.S.; an exclusive power to "establish an uniform rule of naturalization"; and the power to "regulate commerce with foreign nations." Though Congress now authorizes the issuance of passports, the federal government in the early republic issued them with no statutory authority.
Menachem Zivotofsky's lawyers argue that the "place of birth" designation of a passport is for identification only, and doesn't implicate the "recognition power." In addition, his brief argues, the United States allows persons born in Israel proper who object to that listing on their passport to have only the city of birth listed; it is unfair, they imply, to discriminate against Americans born in Jerusalem who do want "Israel" on their passports.
They don't deny that placing "Israel" on a passport might cause some adverse reaction from Arab states. Arab countries are very sensitive to the word "Israel" on passports; Americans who travel widely in the Middle East are routinely issued two passports, because anyone presenting a passport stamped by the Israelis will be denied entry to a number of Arab countries. Nor is it just Arab countries who scrutinize passport entries: the Chinese government once threatened to refuse entry visas to Americans whose passports showed them as born in "Taiwan," because that might imply recognition of "two Chinas." (That dispute was smoothed over, but illustrates the potential.)
These arguments don't seem very strong. Discrimination is the essence of foreign policy, and asking the Supreme Court to hold that a specific act of policy will have what Zivotofsky calls "negligible or trivial impact" on American foreign policy seems like an invitation to go where even self-confident Justices fear to tread.

Tell us the Good Stuff!
I am Inspired by Nature and LOBBYING for it
The Delaware River has been a dramatic and constant feature of the local landscape for "a thousand, thousand years". It has been the place of life for all of the Lenape Tribes, a focal point for our Country's development as a Democracy, and a part of the scenic and recreational landscape of modern society - BRINGING BEAUTY, WONDER AND AWE INTO OUR LIVES.
With the drilling and fracturing of the shale flats in the river basin and environs we would be unleashing a massive force of disruption into the shale plates and introducing large quantities of undisclosed toxins into recreational and drinking water reserves - killing fish and wildlife, altering our natural beauty, destroying water that could be used for drinking, and opening a Pandora's Box of ills on future generations that will have no say in this type of energy development.
We have far too many clean energy options available to us that would maintain what is left of the pristine beauty and awe of this epic piece of our natural lives. UNITE and help to stop the madness before it is too late. WE HAVE GOT TO STOP USING FOSSIL FUELS - EMITTING CARBONS - AND START USING CLEAN RENEWABLE ENERGY LIKE WIND AND SOLAR.
Artists: Take the time to release pieces of your portfolios to the public that relay the deep and abiding connection between people and the land upon which we all stand. These critical chords of the sub-conscious sustain all people and we need to be reminded regularly. Nature prompts deep and abiding senses of awe, wonder, radical amazement and homeostasis.
Here is my first poem on the Delaware, written in 1995 from the footbridge in Lumberville, PA.
We are not here
long enough
to watch the river
change her shape.
But she does.
I have felt it.
We can see her swell
and dry, but we do
not get to see her
curl and cut and
grow old. She is an
old thing. She goes
back a thousand,
thousand years.
We cannot see all the
changes, but we can
feel them. They are
in there.
Won't you sign on to our petition today to let lawmakers know we are not taking the recklessness of Fracking lightly. PLEASE READ BILL MCKIBBEN'S ARTICLE ON THE MATH OF WHERE WE ARE IN THIS GLOBAL CATASTROPHE. THESE THREE NUMBERS WILL ASTOUND YOU AND HOPEFULLY AWAKEN THE MASSES.
