When I was about 12 years old I visited an uncle in hospital. Being bored I was given some cash and sent off to the hospital to buy a comic book by the adults who clearly had had enough of me. The only thing I could find was a science fiction magazine with a short version of Edgar Rice Burroughs-type fantasies of alien battles on Mars. These were great and I spent the next year of my life caught up in daring tales of Barsoom with John Carter.
However, the thing that really caught my attention that day was a middle-page spread of a city of the future. Like a cartoon version of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, it was a cityscape of technological marvels. There were airships, hover cars, monorails and anti-gravity tubes instead of elevators. The gravity tubes scared me and I couldn't sleep that night trying to work out what would happen if there was a power cut.
If I was on the way down I guess the sudden lack of electricity would mean I would just keep going the same way, albeit a bit faster than planned. But if I was going upwards I wondered if I would keep going, crash through the top of the tube and plummet to earth. Either scenario scared me and in my overactive imagination and I decided not to use anti-gravity tubes unless I had no alternative.
I was much keener on the moving walkways. Based on Robert Heinlein's concept of bands of moving walkways with each band travelling faster than the one adjacent to it, I imagined myself skipping to the fastest and flying through the air with all the grace, speed and recklessness of a ballet dancer in low gravity. Again though, I did worry about the mess that a thousand people coming to an abrupt stop would make.
Best of all were the personal jet packs. All you needed was a couple of tanks of high-octane oxygen fuel strapped to your back and the world was your oyster. Oh, and a safety helmet. Not because it protected you, but because with an opaque silvered face guard it made you look cool, daring and mysterious.
I imagined that jet packers would be above dull rules such as traffic regulations – those would be for the air shippers and monorailmen. Us jet packers would point in the direction of travel and with a press of a button just blast off leaving a whirlwind of pavement dust and admiring onlookers behind us.
Strangely I had no safety concerns at all about jet packs. To burn out and crash in a Neo-Norton Night Jumper would be romantic and thrilling. To fall out of the bottom of an anti-gravity tube would just be embarrassing.
For a while I ached for a jet pack. I tried painting exhaust pipes and planetary images on my space hopper. The handles were converted into missile launchers and I inflated it to the max at my local garage to give it hyper bounce capability. My attempts to spice up my space hopper were ultimately in vain and it soon proved to be a poor substitute for a jet pack.
Ironically, later in life I learned that bouncing around aimlessly on an inflatable ball with no means of controlling your direction or speed was excellent training for a job in IT management. So, I guess the whole episode wasn't entirely a waste of time.
I'm older now and feeling more than a bit disappointed that I still don't have my jet pack. At the age of 12 the nearest large town to where I lived was Kilmarnock in Scotland and, you know, nearly 40 years later there isn't a single monorail in Kilmarnock let alone a place to park my Night Jumper. Hard to believe, I know.
Instead of abundant fuel based on nuclear fission we have gas guzzlers and road tax. Instead of speedy walk ways we have pavements clogged up with chewing gum. Instead of anti-gravity tubes we have escalators. All a bit disappointing really.
However, maybe things have turned out better than I imagined. Instead of jet packs we have broadband, the Web, social networking tools, tablet computers, interactive games, and immersive, real-time applications. I wanted to travel the world and learn about strange exotic places on my jet pack. Now new knowledge is just a click away. Not as romantic, but less wearing on the wallet and joints.

Tuxedos made for a stifling night for Steve Stone at Wrigley
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN Staff Reporter August 7, 2013 10:02PM
Updated: September 9, 2013 3:00PM
Everyone recalls the great rainstorm that put a damper on the first night game at Wrigley Field, but Steve Stone — then a Cubs broadcaster — also remembers the heat.
And the humidity.
All of which put Stone's discomfort level at an all-time high. What made it worse was the tuxedos the announcers wore to mark the occasion.
Except for Harry Caray.
"Because someone else thought it was a good idea and it wasn't Harry's idea, he wore a lumberjack shirt just to be a contrarian,'' Stone said. "Here's a guy who would dress up in New York and for special occasions.''
But not this night.
"Then of course it started to rain,'' Stone said. "Dewayne Staats and I were in the booth during the middle three innings, and I believe the delay was 2 hours, 54 minutes. And we never went off the air.
''We were pulling people up from all over to come into the booth. [Mayor] Eugene Sawyer came up. Dabney Coleman came up. I don't think he knew anything about baseball.
"It was really humid, beastly and oppressively hot in the booth, and because we were in tuxedos, the sweat was rolling down our faces. [Director] Arne [Harris] would have to cut away so we could wipe our faces.''
It wasn't all bad. The sight of the park lit up at night was almost breathtaking.
"It was beautiful,'' Stone said. "Once it did get dark, it was beautiful. We were all taken by just how good the field looked.''
Sox radio broadcaster Darrin Jackson played for the Cubs in 1988.
"It was an exciting night,'' said Jackson, who watched Ryne Sandberg and Ernie Banks take on Andre Dawson and Billy Williams in a home-run hitting contest before the game.
"It was strange because when we practiced with the lights on it was like an eclipse of the baseball,'' Jackson said. "It was weird. There were no lights hitting the side of the ball you're looking at. You're looking at the ball's shadow moving. It wasn't a white sphere flying. It was a shadow with an eclipse of light around it.''
It's been said that the night-game culture raised the party scene around the ballpark to new levels, but Stone isn't so sure.
"It's hard to make it more of a party atmosphere than it already was and still is,'' Stone said, "because after a day game I don't think the bars around Wrigley have a problem filling up. And they don't before and after night games.''

The Best in Natural and Crafted Salt Lamps
Here you'll find an unmatched variety of Himalayan salt lamps, plus very rare and beautiful Persian salt lamps. Himalayan salt occurs in a variety of colors, and we carry ALL of them - including red, orange, slate blue, white, and more common pink/peach/orange-ish. These colors are created by variations in mineral content of the salt, and this is part of what makes every salt lamp unique.
Every salt lamp we ship is hand-selected and checked visually for color, form, and character. Some of the most beautiful pieces of natural salt ever to hold a light bulb have passed through our doors; and they still amaze us after all these years.
Each lamp is wrapped in plastic or shrinkwrap, and includes a finished wooden base anchored securely with non-corrosive screws. Cheap plastic feet we do not offer.
UL®-listed cord, switch, and bulb are fully tested and installed during packaging.

One of the biggest questions preceding Sony's reboot of the Spider-Man franchise is "does the story need retelling?" Andrew Garfield has a very well reasoned response to this query in a freshly posted Comic-Con interview! Video after the jump!
It's been almost a decade since the first release of the web slinger (true, the last installment was only four years ago, but it'll be five by 2012 when The Amazing Spider-Man hits theaters), and fans are already questioning if it's too soon for a full reboot of the series.
Andrew Garfield has a perfectly adequate response to this type of thinking in this interview below (courtesy of Collider via ComicBookMovie)
We think this almost guarantees another retelling 15 to 20 years from now (assuming that the sequels from this one aren't still running).
It's refreshing to hear that Garfield has such a personal connection with the wall crawler. Since Spider-Man has such a close place to his heart we can bet that he'll do the role justice in The Amazing Spider-Man

[Translate] Indifference by Fritz Hirschberger (1912-2004) Sunday evening, 15 April until sundown 16 April is Holocaust Remembrance Day. Can you imagine an entire country coming to a standstill for two minutes? This means stopping what your doing, whether you are at home or at work or in your car and thinking about the six million lives that were lost. A siren is sounded at 10AM on Monday and everyone stops what they are doing: cars stop driving and the drivers get out of their cars and stand in the middle of the highway for two minutes.

Tigers Edged By No. 20 UCSD In OT
No. 20 UC San Diego scored the first three goals of overtime and withheld a late charge as the Pacific women's water polo team fell, 9-8, in overtime Saturday, Mar. 3, as part of the Aggie Shootout at the Schaal Aquatics Center.
"I was really proud of how we played today," head coach Megan Thomson said. "To be down three goals in overtime and to show the kind of fight we did is very encouraging. I thought it was one of the best games we've played this season."
Freshman Taylor Adair led the Tigers with three goals. Sophomores Elise Martin and Malena Prlain added two goals apiece.
Sophomore goalkeeper Michele Relton blocked 10 shots in a complete-game outing.
Both squads set the defensive intensity early, holding each other scoreless during the first quarter. Pacific (8-5) was unable to threaten the Tritons' goalkeeper as UC San Diego (8-7) pressed the Tigers constantly. Pacific equally shut down the Tritons as Relton notched two saves in the first frame, preventing UC San Diego from converting any of its 6-on-5 chances.
The second quarter was a different story as both teams scored three goals in the period. UCSD struck first before Prlain got the Tigers on the scoreboard at the 5:06 mark. Adair gave Pacific a 2-1 lead one minute later, but the Tritons responded with back-to-back goals to regain a one-goal advantage with 1:52 left. Adair recorded her second goal of the quarter at the 1:29 mark, sending the match into halftime tied 3-3.
Martin spotted the Tigers a one-goal lead on a score at the 4:38 mark of the third quarter, but UC San Diego answered with an advantage goal with 3:12 left in the frame. Pacific again took the lead when Martin found senior Brittany Lloyd on a counter-attack at the 1:51 mark. The Tritons managed to even the score at 5-5 on a score with 56 seconds left in the quarter, knotting the game with one quarter left to play.
Pacific scored less than one minute into the fourth quarter on a 6-on-5 goal from Adair, giving her the hat trick. UC San Diego would tie the game for the sixth time with 5:28 remaining on a five-meter goal after junior Callan Rowe was called for a penalty. The two teams failed to score the rest of the way, sending the game into overtime tied at 6-6.
The Tritons wasted no time in the first overtime period, drawing a penalty on freshman Kelsey Carter before converting the five-meter shot to take a 7-6 lead at the 2:43 mark. UCSD scored its second goal of the period with just 47 seconds left, going up by two, 8-6, with one overtime period remaining.
UCSD took a three-goal lead after the Tritons finished an offensive rebound that dropped in front of the cage at the 2:17 mark. Pacific would not go down quietly, however, as the Tigers drew to within two on Prlain's second goal of the day with 1:08 remaining. After Pacific stopped the Tritons, Martin scored with three seconds left to bring the Tigers to within one, 9-8. There was not enough time left to tally an equalizer as UC San Diego held on for the win.
The Tritons were led by three goals from Kristen Bates, two of which came via five-meter shots. Goalkeeper Allie Taylor registered nine saves.
Pacific is back in action Friday, Mar. 16, at the Loyola Marymount Invitational. The Tigers will play four games at the two-day tournament before partaking in the final day of the Aztec Invitational on Sunday, Mar. 18, where they will play a pair of games.
No. 20 UC San Diego 9, Pacific 8 (OT)
UC San Diego 0 - 3 - 2 - 1 - 2 - 1 -- 9
Pacific 0 - 3 - 2 - 1 - 0 - 2 -- 8
Pacific - Adair 3, Martin 2, Prlain 2, Lloyd
UC San Diego - Bates 3, Lizotte 2, Bartow, Daniels, Holbrook, Peng

at&t's BlackBerry 8800 vs. 8830 comparison sheet
Boy Genius has posted on his site an internal document from at&t comparing both the GSM BlackBerry 8800 and it's CDMA cousin the 8830 (soon to offered by Verizon and Sprint). This sheet compares the two side by side and also very openly admits that AT&T will in fact be seeing a 8820 with Wi-Fi in Q3 of 2007.
So whats the big differences you ask? The BlackBerry 8800 will feature a more powerful processor 312MHz processor where as the 8830 will have a 225 MHz processor, They claim the 8830 doesn't have GPS in it however we believe it will, The 8800 will have PTT (push to talk) and the 8830 won't, other than that talk and stand by time (seems the 8800 wins, yet again). However the 8830 does provide much faster data with EV-DO. Click on the picture to see the full table.

The Perfectly Embroidered Design
With our embroidery, as in life, we strive for perfection.
When embroidering a design what are the main "imperfections"? Some of the problems may not be with your final sewout but how the design was digitized.
There are quite a few things you can do to improve the final sewout of your design including proper stabilization, both backing and topping, proper hooping, correct machine tension, type of thread and needle used for the project and even making adjustments to suit the type of fabric you are using.
That sounds frightening, doesn't it? But with a bit of preparation prior to embroidering your design you should have the best results possible.
Have you ever stitched a design where everything was digitized at a 45 degree angle? If you have, then you know how much it pulls and distorts the fabric around it.
The most basic digitizing technique to achieve successful embroidery is to alternate the direction of the stitches from one design element to the next, but there's much more you can do.
Most designs will need underlay in the opposite direction of the stitches.
Added pull compensation will help offset the pull of the stitches. Without them, circles will become ovals, and your heads will be lopsided.
If your software allows it, using a curved fill pattern to follow the shape of the design will help further minimize the pulling and pushing that can occur when a section is filled in only one direction.
With Embird Studio, the curved stitch style can be found under parameters/effect/wave.
Be careful when using satin stitches. Many embroidery machines don't handle long satin stitches well, and the longer the threads, the more frequently the thread breaks.
Long satin stitches pull on the fabric and can cause bunching and puckering. The maximum width for satin stitching in Embird Studio is 12.5 mm, but even that width is very wide and should be avoided.
Whenever possible with wide stitching use column with a pattern or use a different sample to add nodes either in the centre of the column or along the inner edges.
Experiment with the different samples and envelopes in the parameters screen to digitize unique and outstanding column effects.
In most cases, the default density settings will be set for a 4 mm stitch, which can be fairly dense. A density of 4.5 mm to 5.0 mm is a good setting for most home embroidery formats.
Always do a test sewout to check for pull compensation, density and any other settings you have chosen.
Select the correct type of backing (stabilizer) for your fabric. Only use stabilizers that were made for embroidery.
Sewing stabilizers and interfacings have more stretch and are not designed to provide the stability that embroidery demands.
Cheap substitutes, such as typing paper and coffee filters add lint to your machine, and dull your needles, causing your design stitch quality to suffer. Use the lightest weight stabilizer you can for the type of fabric on which you will be embroidering.
Remember that you can layer stabilizer but if you use something too heavy, it will add weight to your design, which will eventually pull on your fabric and make it cave into the fabric causing a buckling effect.
Secondly, the edges of the stabilizer will show through to the front, which is undesirable.
The third reason for as little stabilizer as possible is that famous "bulletproof embroidery". Too much stabilizer will contribute to the bulletproof effect.
Cut your stabilizer larger than your hoop at least 1 inch or more extra on each side of the hoop. Purchase a wide roll for your largest hoop, turning the stabilizer sideways, cutting it shorter for the smaller hoops.
Save your money and use only one sheet of stabilizer. Designs should rarely need more than one layer of stabilizer.
If your design needs more than one layer then it may be that the design is incorrectly hooped, or you may be using the wrong type of stabilizer for the project.
However, there are always rules that are made to be broken and you can combine several layers of polymesh stabilizer successfully if one layer will be too light.
Hooping incorrectly is the most common reason a design puckers or buckles on lightweight fabric.
Always embroider a basting stitch around the inside edge of the hoop.
You can add a basting stitch around the design with Embird Editor or, alternatively, add a basting stitch at your machine. This will help keep the fabric more stable inside the hoop, and is particularly helpful in keeping heavy sweatshirts and towels from pulling, which causes puckering. You will be surprised at the difference a basting stitch can make.
Method 1: Hooping fabric and stabilizer together
Sandwich your stabilizer and fabric between both parts of the hoop.
- Do not float the stabilizer underneath the hoop. Floating a piece of stabilizer underneath does not help provide stability, but adds more weight. Again, the one exception is polymesh, which is designed for light to medium weight fabrics, using two layers for added stability with very dense designs or for heavy fabric. In most cases, though, only one layer is sufficient.
- Do not tighten the screws on the hoop after the fabric has been hooped. Tightening screws after hooping causes the fabric to either stretch or pull off grain and when the hoop is released the fabric will snap back, leaving stretch marks around the edges of the embroidery.
Method 2: Hooping stabilizer then adhering the fabric
- Hoop stabilizer taut, like a tambourine, not too loose, and not too tight. This is another exception to the rule – you can tighten the screws on the hoop and pull the stabilizer taut after it is hooped to ensure a nice, tight hooping.
- Prepare the stabilizer for adhering, by removing the adhesive backing, wetting the Wet-N-Set (if that is the stabilizer used) or spraying cutaway or tearaway with adhesive spray.
- On lightweight designs or lace designs hoop Vilene or any other washaway stabilizer.
- Be sure you use embroidery adhesive as other types of adhesive sprays can cause build-up of sticky spray on your needle and in your bobbin case.
- Mark the lines horizontal and vertical centre lines on the hooped stabilizer. Mark your lines on your fabric with an air erasable or washaway fabric marker; fold along the lines, and line up the fold with the marks on the front of the hoop.
- Stick your fabric to the stabilizer, place the hooped fabric on the embroider machine; check the alignment at the embroidery machine, moving the alignment slightly where necessary and you are ready to embroider the design.
Hooping Tips:
- Always use a cutaway with any fabric that stretches and make sure to adhere the fabric to it.
- Use an iron on a fusible, use adhesive spray, or use a Wet-N-Set to make sure that the fabric can't slide around on top of the stabilizer once it's inside the hoop.
- A cutaway stabilizer will not break down and wash away over time, so it will continue to keep your embroidery stable during the life of the garment.
Cutaways generally give better definition than tearaways, as the fibers are longer, allowing the threads to grasp tighter.
Use tearaway stabilizer for fabrics that don't stretch, such as quilting cotton, and other woven fabrics. Tearaway breaks down over time and will disappear totally or in part eventually.
Quality matters! The process used to create a stabilizer determines how stable it really is. The Wet Laid process creates a non-directional, dense, non-woven stabilizer, which means you only need one layer when you use it. Random Laid, or Carded techniques, on the other hand, have weak areas, or can stretch in one or more directions.
When embroidering items that are too small to hoop the design can be printed right on the stabilizer before it is hooped. Be sure to center it accurately, and then stick your fabric to it. A second method that may be more accurate is to embroider the design without thread right on the stabilizer. The needle marks will show you the exact placement for your small item.
Use black stabilizer for dark fabrics, especially the insides of jackets or vests, where the stabilizer may show.
When embroidering on dark fabric, place some white stabilizer (or fabric) underneath the stitching on top of the fabric. Advance the design, and sew the outline first, to make an appliqué. Remove the excess stabilizer (or fabric), then return to the beginning of the design, and stitch as usual. The white background will make the colors stand out brilliantly. This is especially useful for light thread colors, or hologram thread.
Note: Part 1 of this topic deals with a "perfectly digitized design".

Michael C. Ruppert, at From The Wilderness, quotes Paul Krugman, who wrote in June 24 The New York Times:
"There is no longer any serious doubt that Bush administration officials deceived us into war. The key question now is why so many influential people are in denial, unwilling to admit the obvious...But even people who aren't partisan Republicans shy away from confronting the administration's dishonest case for war, because they don't want to face the implications...
"After all, suppose a politician - or a journalist - admits to himself that Mr. Bush bamboozled the nation into war. Well, launching a war on false pretenses is, to say the least a breach of trust. So if you admit to yourself that such a thing happened, you have a moral obligation to demand accountability - and to do so in the face not only of a powerful, ruthless political machine but in the face of a country not yet ready to believe that its leaders have exploited 9/11 for political gain. It's a scary prospect. Yet, if we can't find people willing to take the risk - to face the truth and act on it - what will happen to our democracy"
Ruppert writes, "Let's just suppose for a moment that George W. Bush was removed from the White House. Cheney, Powell, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, Wolfowitz and Rove too. What would that leave us with It would leave us stuck in hugely expensive, Vietnam-like guerrilla wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It would leave us with the Patriot Act, Homeland Security and Total Information Awareness snooping into every detail of our lives. It would leave us with a government in violation of the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th Amendments to the Constitution. It would leave us with a massive cover-up of US complicity in the attacks of 9/11 that, if fully admitted, would show not intelligence 'failures' but intelligence crimes, approved and ordered by the most powerful people in the country. It would leave us with a government that now has the power to compel mass vaccinations on pain of imprisonment or fine, and with no legal ability to sue the vaccine makers who killed our friends or our children. It would leave us with two and half million unemployed; the largest budget deficits in history; more than $3.3 trillion missing from the Department of Defense; and state and local governments broke to the point of having to cut back essential services like sewers, police, and fire. It would leave us with a federal government that had hit the debt ceiling and was unable to borrow any more money. And we would still be facing a looming natural gas crisis of unimagined proportions, and living on a planet that is slowly realizing that it is running out of oil with no 'Plan B.'
"The greatest test of the 2004 presidential election campaign is not with the candidates. It is with the people. There are strong signs that presidential election issues on the Democratic side are already being manipulated by corporate and financial interests. And some nave and well-intentioned (and some not-so-nave and not-so-well intentioned) activists are already playing right into [their] hands. There are many disturbing signs that the only choice offered to the American people will be no choice at all. Under the psychological rationale, 'This is the way it has to be done,' campaign debates will likely address only half-truths and fail to come to grips with - or even acknowledge - the most important issues that I just described.
"Unless people find the will to address scandals, lies, and betrayals of trust that, by their very existence, reveal that the system itself is corrupt and that the people controlling it - both in government, and in America's corporations and financial institutions - are criminals, there is no chance to make anything better, only an absolute certainty that things will get worse.
"Some on the Democratic side are already positioning themselves to co-opt and control what happened on 9/11 into a softer, less disturbing 'Better this than nothing' strategy. This attitude, that the only thing that matters is finding an electable Democrat, is nothing more than a rearrangement of deck chairs on the Titanic."

Insurance After Hurricane Sandy
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The insurance business will always come back after a disaster such as Superstorm Sandy, but the customers are going to get it in the neck.
As I noted last week, insurance is a form of bookmaking. Your premium is a bet that something bad will happen. That something is defined by the fine print of your contract.
The insurer takes your money, knowing that it's unlikely it will have to pay off. The insurer get to invest the money while the bet is active, and if you "win" - if nothing happens -- then you "lose" -- the insurer keeps the money.
When the bet is bad, but must be made, the government steps in. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Small Business Administration (SBA) have paid out $7.8 billion so far in New York alone, according to the Insurance Journal, $3.7 billion of that in flood insurance claims.Of course, as I noted before, you pay for that. The act that reauthorized the flood insurance program last yearalso authorized some huge premium increases, based on risk. Even when Uncle Sam is your bookie, he doesn't like to lose money, and when the Act was signed, the flood insurance fund was $18 billion underwater. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners publishes an annual list of the Top 25 property and casualty insurance players. Most are focused on car insurance. Note in particular the "Direct Loss & DCC to EP Ratio" -- that's the insurers' losses, plus costs meant to contain the losses and defend themselves in court, compared to the amount of premiums that came in. Total loss ratios range from a high of almost 85%, for an Australian company called QBE that does marine as well as car insurance, to a low of less 47% for Assurant (AIZ), which also does health insurance and handles extended warranties. What the layman will notice is that everyone's taking in more than they're paying out, sometimes a lot more. What insurers and investors will note is the action, that results can vary widely, that nothing is really certain. You can't buy the largest player in this game. That's because it's State Farm, which is set up as a "mutual insurance" company. That is, it's owned by policyholders instead of stockholders. Based on policy income, State Farm is twice as large as the next largest insurer, Zurich Insurance, with more than 10% of the market.

Pope Francis says atheists can do good and go to heaven too! Comments
Pope Francis has good news for atheists. Jesus died and was raised for them as well. His redemptive embrace was for all, not just a chosen few.The choice to accept its reach is our own. The Holy Father was not teaching anything new. In fact, this hope that all who do not yet know God are not only capable of doing good - but will progress toward that knowledge of God by doing good - is ancient. The Church wants all men and women to be saved. Continue Reading

Thank you for your wisdom Pope Francis! You are my hero and I love you. You are humble and you love your neighbor. I am glad that the Holy Spirit chose you as the Holy Father.
Ad maiorem Dei gloriam!

This is not really complicated, unless you deny the Bible. These are the words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Does this sound like you can deny Christ as Savior and go to heaven?
Luke 10:13-16
English Standard Version (ESV)
Woe to Unrepentant Cities
13 "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more bearable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades.
16 "The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me."

Ronald... wow.
thank you for sharing that link to what the pope actually said. you are right- this article and especially the mainstream media got it all wrong! The pope never even said anything about 'atheists going to heaven'. The pope simply said they too have been redeemed by Christ's blood- which is absolutely true- there is a difference between redemption and salvation. Christ came to redeem all of humanity, but atheists refuse to be saved.
Lord, I pray that you may have mercy on those who reject you and your work of redemption. Give them the gift of faith so that they would rather shed their blood than profess that they reject you. How could we ever doubt you Jesus!
Viva la Papa!

Wisdom is from God. Without wisdom nothing makes sense as all becomes subject to non-sense. The world is a part of God's creation. All people belong to God wether they know it or not. We choose wisdom. Without wisdom we are like devils. Choose wisdom and one has a relationship with God. Wisdom can be rejected. The "world" has deliberately chosen to reject wisdom" God"! Logic and wisdom are two different things. Logic gives one a choice as to wether or not,we accept or reject the existence of God. Logically one can choose to be very good or very evil,even a luke-warm person. Logistically one can change their philosophical or religious beliefs many times over a lifetime. One can even live a perfect Christian life logistically as they think about wether or not the existence of a God makes sense or not. Doubt? Count the perfect Christ-like lifestyle as a love of God and humankind,count it as faith. Many are in this boat and God loves those who obey him. God is love. All who love have a part in God. Those without wisdom openly reject God. Hell is a place eternally without the wisdom of God both in this life and the next one. To reject wisdom,as even many governments do, is accept as well as to teach atheism,same sex marriage,promote pornography,abortion,euthanasia,militant Muslim terrorism,ignore organized crime,drug dealing and addiction,alcohol abuse,physical abuse,sexually deviant behavior,mis-leading the young with false teachings,as well as society in general,etc. Those that do these things are openly rejecting God in this life and will prefer to hate God in the next one,as this is what has been cultivated to be their "choice". God honors "choice " to live eternally without Wisdom or God. God must be a personal choice of Faith. Faith leads to wisdom and truth. Literally life without God is Hell. Logistically as human- beings we all have a hard time knowing truth and God knows this and because of this,in Christ,all can be recipients of God's mercy.

@ KarlVDH
These are your words:
"That's interesting, Brother, because regardless of what Bl. Pius IX said, the Holy Bible names a great many people who never heard of the Roman Catholic Church but were accounted as Righteous nevertheless. Noah, Moses, Elijah, the Thief on the cross beside Christ... not one was offered entry to Heaven through Catholicism... but all were anyway.
I believe we ought to follow our Holy Father and accept that God anointed him in this time for His own purposes, rather than second guess him with half-baked legalism and Pharasaical argument... don't you?"
All the people you mentioned, besides the Thief on the cross, were all under the old covenant and their was no Roman-Catholic Church then. And at that time salvation came from the Jews.:
"You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.- John 4:22"
However, Jesus-Christ founded the Roman-Catholic Church.:
"And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.- Matthew 16:18"
Since Christ was still on earth, who is the Head of the Roman-Catholic Church now and forever, and when the Good Thief asked him for salvation, Christ was fully authorized to grant it to him.
You said, "regardless of what Bl. Pius IX said"?
Well, well, well, a simple sinner like you, announcing to the world that YOU have to the authority to simply to toss this tradition aside, which is also backed up by CANON LAW, as it was just an item on the so-called catholic smorgasbord???
Guess what? This makes you not only a heretic, but a schismatic also!
"half-baked legalism and Pharasaical argument"
Really??? I've just proven to you with Biblical references, which you so conveniently by-passed, and Canon Law that it is YOU that has "half-baked legalism and Pharasaical argument"!
I have never meant to criticize the Holy Father, I just simply quoted genuine Roman-Catholic teaching, that I am sure the Holy Father would agree with. It is you who made the, "half-baked and Pharasaical JUDGMENT" of my intentions…BROTHER!

michael: Oh, Michael, I wasn't offended. I was just concerned because you threatened to leave the Church. I just don't want you to take our Holy Father's words out of context and then leave the Church because of a misunderstanding. That's why I suggested that you pray to the Holy Spirit and read the article again. I was hoping Pope Francis' words would become clearer to you. That's all. This old lady (and I mean OLD lady) has been around a long time and I have seen many leave the Church because of misunderstandings. God bless you too my friend.

The denomination doesn't give someone entrance to Heaven....it is about the relationship with Christ. Jesus said, "I am The Way, The Truth and The Life. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME." Scripture also says, "By Grace are you saved, through Faith, NOT BY WORKS, so that no one can boast." There aren't any gray areas in these statements, so either you believe what Christ said or you consider Him to be completely insane. He claimed to be the Son of God. You clearly do not get to heaven by doing good works or being a good person. Good compared to whom? Scripture says, ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. What part of ALL don't we understand. Even one sin before a Holy , Just and Loving God makes us unacceptable to Him. The formula for salvation is Christ + Nothing = Salvation. He paid the price for our sins IN FULL. So if you think you are a good person doing good things.....don't be misled by anyone who says that opens the door to heaven. It doesn't . People doing good as a result of knowing Christ is an entirely different circumstance.

Would you please avoid mischaracterizing what the Holy Father says? Of course, atheists are reaching for the same salvation we are & we are presumptuous if we think otherwise. Of course, Christ's salvation is available to all. But those who knowingly reject Him & His gift will be held accountable - such is the teaching of the Church. It's not our place to judge them & we can meet by doing good (I know a few atheists who converted after volunteering at cpc's). But the good must me that which we know through natural law & the good that has been revealed. The good must be God's definition of good & still, accepting Christ's gift, faith is required. As Catholics, we are called to know that faith is required, hope & pray for the conversion of those who don't believe in Christ & do good alongside them without ever judging. It's not as easy as you make out. Following Christ is never easy. It's just the only thing worth doing. If we follow Him with joy & welcome all who seek to do good, we will win converts by our love.

Some of the comments here remind me a bit of the parable of the vineyard workers in 20th chapter of the Gospel of St. Matthew. Do you sound like the first workers?
"Now the kingdom of Heaven is like a landowner going out at daybreak to hire workers for his vineyard. He made an agreement with the workers for one denarius a day and sent them to his vineyard. Going out at about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the market place and said to them, 'You go to my vineyard too and I will give you a fair wage.' So they went. At about the sixth hour and again at about the ninth hour, he went out and did the same. Then at about the eleventh hour he went out and found more men standing around, and he said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day?' 'Because no one has hired us', they answered. He said to them, 'You go into my vineyard too.' In the evening, the owner of the vineyard said to his bailiff, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting with the last arrivals and ending with the first.' So those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came forward and received one denarius each. When the first came, they expected to get more, but they too received one denarius each. They took it, but grumbled at the landowner saying, 'The men who came last have done only one hour, and you have treated them the same as us, though we have done a heavy day's work in all the heat.' He answered one of them and said, 'My friend, I am not being unjust to you; did we not agree on one denarius? Take your earnings and go. I choose to pay the lastcomer as much as I pay you. Have I no right to do what I like with my own? Why should you be envious because I am generous?' Thus the last will be first, and the first, last."

As a concerned Christian (non-Catholic), I have to say this is not what Jesus taught; and you do Atheists no good by this teaching. It's human flattery. Also, nothing good exists outside of God and acting within His will. You don't get closer to God or knowledge of God by committing good acts; apart from Him, we are as depraved and separated as ever. By His grace, we are drawn to Him through the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 7:13-14
Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

This is an installment in my March 2012 Asia Trip Series which includes: A Birthday Present To Myself: Business Class on the World's Longest Flight for $2.50, Help Me Plan My Asia Trip Starting With Singapore, Flight Review: Singapore Airlines All Business Class Flight From Newark To Singapore, Hotel Review: Intercontinental Singapore, Video Trip Report: Singapore, Hotel Review: Le Meridien Bangkok Avantec Suite, Video Trip Report: Bangkok, Hotel Review: Le Meridien Angkor, Video Trip Report: Siem Reap, Hotel Review: Intercontinental Phnom Penh, Video Trip Report: Phnom Penh and the Khmer Rouge Killing Fields, Hotel Review: W Hong Kong.
After the 19-hour Singapore Airlines flight from Newark to Singapore, I had no idea what kind of state I would be in. I wanted to maximize day one because we landed in Singapore at 5:40 am local time and would have a full day ahead to explore, so I didn't want to waste a huge portion of the day with waiting for the hotel rooms. That's why I was grateful for my Intercontinental Royal Ambassador status, which meant I could check into my room at the Intercontinental Singapore at 8am, though the hotel had emailed me prior to my stay so I was confident I'd be able to check-in upon arrival. The hotel offers airport pickup in terminal and Mercedes dropoff at hotel for $160. Honestly, customs was a breeze and cabs are about $15, so I'd just recommend that route.
The Intercontinental was an interesting choice because it's located pretty centrally in the Bugis Junction shopping area, which is also called the Bras Basah heritage precinct because of all the museums, monuments and galleries there dedicated to local Peranakan culture. It was pretty much near everything I wanted to see, and easy to get to and from thanks to the MRT subway and not-too-expensive taxis.
The Reservation
I originally made my reservation at the Intercontinental for two nights in a Deluxe Room, which are one category above Standard rooms and was the cheapest available. The rate I got was SG$355 (US$280) per room per night, which wasn't cheap, but I didn't have enough Priority Club points to shell out the 40,000 a night needed for a free room (plus you don't get many of the Royal Ambassador benefits on award stays). When I arrived, however, I was told that I'd been upgraded to a King Executive Suite two categories higher, which is the standard upgrade for Royal Ambassadors. I was also told I could choose a regular room and get Club Lounge access instead, but I opted for the upgrade since I wanted to eat outside the hotel for as many meals as possible.
The Rooms
My friend stayed in a Deluxe Room, which seemed pretty standard to me, though it did have a little marble entry foyer, and a king bed, large flatscreen, and small sitting area and breakfast table plus a work desk. My suite was larger, though not really that unique or impressive, and had a bigger entrance foyer, and a sitting room area with an armchair, loveseat and coffee table, a breakfast table, and a work desk, plus a semi-separate king-size bedroom.
The bathrooms in the two rooms were pretty much the same with a single marble vanity and separate tub/showers with Elemis products.
The hotel also had a small fitness center and spa, but we were too busy and time was too short to use them (though I probably should have after all of the eating I did!).
Overall. it was a good location for seeing the city, though next time in Singapore I'd like to try the St. Regis, which is a bit closer to the action and will help me retain my Starwood Platinum, which I value over my Royal Ambassador status.

Can Adults Pass a Middle School Science Test? *
AbstractHow well do adults understand basic science concepts? This project is a good opportunity for you to test your own scientific understanding as you create a short test to assess knowledge of basic science concepts. Your test will have to brief (probably 10-15 questions, maximum) or you'll have a hard time getting a sufficient number of complete responses. With so few questions, you'll have to think carefully about exactly what comprises "basic science knowledge," and exactly how to word your questions. It will probably take a few rounds of pilot tests and editing to get it right. You should also gather some information on your respondents' educational background and primary language. Other questions to ask yourself: How representative is your sample population? How do middle school students fare on your test? (Idea from Del Gavio-Kusich, 2003)

SociologistAny time there is more than one person in a room, there is potential for a social interaction to occur or for a group to form. Sociologists study these interactions—how and why groups and societies form, and how outside events like health issues, technology, and crime affect both the societies and the individuals. If you already like to think about how people interact as individuals and in groups, then you're thinking like a sociologist! Read more
StatisticianStatisticians use the power of math and probability theory to answer questions that affect the lives of millions of people. They tell educators which teaching method works best, tell policy-makers what levels of pesticides are acceptable in fresh fruit, tell doctors which treatment works best, and tell builders which type of paint is the most durable. They are employed in virtually every type of industry imaginable, from engineering, manufacturing, and medicine to animal science, food production, transportation, and education. Everybody needs a statistician! Read more
Physics TeacherOur universe is full of matter and energy, and how that matter and energy moves and interacts in space and time is the subject of physics. Physics teachers spend their days showing and explaining the marvels of physics, which underlies all the other science subjects, including biology, chemistry, Earth and space science. Their work serves to develop the next generation of scientists and engineers, including all healthcare professionals. They also help all students better understand their physical world and how it works in their everyday lives, as well as how to become better citizens by understanding the process of scientific research. Read more
Chemistry TeacherWhen you hear the word chemicals, you might think of laboratories and scientists in white coats; but actually, chemicals are all around you, as well as inside of you. Everything in the world is made up of chemicals, also known as matter, or stuff that takes up space. Chemistry is the study of matter—what it is made of, how it behaves, its structure and properties, and how it changes during chemical reactions. Chemistry teachers are the people who help students understand this physical world, from the reactions within our own bodies to how soaps and detergents work and why egg proteins can keep a cookie from crumbling. They prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers, including all healthcare professionals. They also help also students develop scientific literacy. Read more

Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been several months since my last blog post. What can I say man, it's been a heavy past couple of months. There's been lots going in general and in my life. I know some of you were wondering what happened to me. Some of you were asking me if I had gotten a girlfriend and run off and abandoned the SolidGame. Well I'm here to say no such thing has happened… yet hahaha.
The thing is about my blog is that I prefer not to talk about every single thing that happens on a daily or weekly basis. You can find that on other blogs. I'd much prefer to share with you things that might either entertain you, school you or both.
So what's been going on the past couple months, well in case you are not from this planet…The WORLD CUP! The nations of the world have descended upon the South African shores to watch and attend the greatest game on earth, world cup football.
It has also been winter, not exactly my favourite season, but with the world cup distraction it hasn't been that crazy. Last week was winter solstice, so days get longer nights get shorter and so do skirts. No complaints here.
A few months ago I said I would be reviving an old hobby, one of the hobbies I started around the same time I started this blog. Stand-up Comedy.
Yep that's right mafaka, Blade does stand-up. The first few times on stage were nerve wracking. I was so nervous. I sucked!
But I kept at it and still am. I'm feeling a whole lot more comfortable and confident and it's just getting better and better. Kinda like social skills or The Game. The more you challenge yourself and push yourself the more confident you become and the better you get.
What kind of material do I do? Well, my material is inspired by my daily life, friends and this thing I call The Game. Wanna know more? Come see the show. I'll provide details.
So, you can expect a whole lot more updates and more regularly starting from today.
There are a few things I've observed and noticed over the past couple months that we can chat about.
The most important topic I'd like to talk about over tomorrow is called Bridging. Getting over that game where you are flirty and friendly with a girl and kicking it up a notch and turning the heat right up. Yeah it's about to get saucy in this peace.
I'll be seeing you.
The Blade Is back.

Art | 43 | Basel
This week, we take a little diversion from The 'Ville and head south.
Way south.
Because from Dec. 1 through Dec. 4, Miami Beach, Fla. hosted the 10th annual Art Basel show.
Without a doubt, this is one of the most prestigious art shows in North America.
Galleries from all over the world take part in showcasing works by more than 2,000 artists.
During the show, Miami turns into an international stomping ground for art enthusiasts, A-list celebrities, fashion insiders and more.
So, how much of a stomping ground is it?
Let's just say you've gotta show up with your A-game to keep up with the around-the-clock festivities.

I also plan to continue in 2014 making a lot of baby quilt tops for charity - I'm not going to count them, as they never really go into my top stash, they just get made, then put aside and sent off to Project Linus (or similar) in batches...
- 32 tops 6 May 2014 (Japanese Taupe Baby quilt finished; Red, Blue & Green Oriental, Green Rectangles, California Courthouse Steps, Shabby Chic quilt tops to longarmer. Scrappy Baby Quilt with Cherries & Japanese Taupe Lady of the Lake added)
- 35 tops 31 Dec 2013 (Brown and Black Heart quilt finished, Purple Tumblers added)
- 35 tops 7 Sept 2013 (sent HST sampler, Xmas Oh My Stars and Modern Clover to longarmer. Green and Purple Handdyes to be finished by Lana for baby gift for a mutual friend)
- 39 tops 6 May 2013 (added crumb log cabin set in handdyes, low volume heart baby quilt, tiny log cabins, difficult fabric babyquilt and Japanese taupe rail fence variation)
- 34 tops 8 April 2013 (finished Amish Table Runner)
- 35 tops 21 March 2013 (finished pink & purple rectangle baby quilt)
- 36 tops 20 February 2013 (added Irish Chain Baby Quilt and Vicki's Strips; sent Splash of Lime, Hawaiian Shirts and Blue and Brown Cats to longarmer; quilting funky houses quilt)
- 38 tops 13 January 2013 (added Squaring the Rectangle; Scottie Dog quilt longarmed & finished for Christmas)
Basket mini quilt: 22" square. (nb: backing pieced). I won the basket blocks from the block lotto in May 2007 and have used a number of them as mini quilts for various occasions - a couple of quilt angel situations, a blog giveaway and so on. This one I intend to keep for myself, so I used for the setting fabrics a fish fabric which I love and don't have much more of. This is the smallest UFO I have and as such, shouldn't really be that hard to finish. But it's just one of those things.
Little Hawaiian Shirt Quilt. 28x28". Top finished August 2011. Made as part of 2011 Scrapbusting project. Hawaiian fabrics from my collection of my dad's Hawaiian shirts.
Brown and Purple Funky 4 patch. 33x33". Made as part of the ongoing scrap reduction strategem. 2012.
Low Volume Hearts, 30x36. May2013. Blocks won in the block lotto. Kept some for this quilt, which will be a nice baby quilt for someone, using the rest to make another babyquilt for donating to the Friends of our local library to fundraise.
"Difficult" fabric baby quilt. 30x36. May2013. Standby baby quilt at least for the time being. An unusual layout due to wrong number of blocks in each colourway. Makes a change, I guess.
Brown and Purple Funky 4 patch. 33x33". Made as part of the ongoing scrap reduction strategem. 2012.
Scrappy Baby Quilt with Cherries, April 2014. 34x39.
Christmas table topper. 36" square. These blocks are a few from a swap of Christmas blocks of this design which I did with Scrap Quilting Forum - most of the blocks I got were red & green and I decided a while ago I didn't want them, but I kept the blue ones to make a table topper. Don't really know which Christmas the swap was originally intended for (ok, I checked, the swap was in summer 2006 and the top was assembled in June 2008) but it's been far too long and I should really get it sorted.
Purple Tumbler Baby Quilt. September/October 2013. 36x38.
Abstract Art Quilt. 38x38". Another more recent one - I bought the fabric for this at the end of December and made a top with on New Year's Eve. 2009!
Vicki's Strips. 37x46. Vicki brought me some lovely hand-dyed strips on a visit in 2011 and I made a top with them in February 2013.
Birthday Block Swap Top with tiny centre. 39x39" + blue border and outside border, which I can't remember the size of. Maybe approc 48" square? These five blocks (including the tiny centre one) were from the first Birthday Block Swap that I hosted. The four 12" blocks all had backgrounds which weren't quite as black as some of the others - they are all BOB prints, but just aren't quite as dark black and therefore, looked better together, rather than with most of the other 12" blocks, which I have used together. This piece also uses the one little tiny block which I received (kind of a joke, that one, but hey, I wanted to use it!). Blocks from Summer 2008. Top assembled Nov 2009.
Rainbow String Hearts Quilt. Approx 40x40". Top completed in October 2011. Blocks made throughout 2011 as part of scrapbusting project.
Black, white and green baby quilt, 40x40". July 2012.
Dear Jane Wallhanging. 42x42". This is another fairly recent one - although my friend Cathi and I started swapping these 6" DJ blocks a while back (August 2007), we only finished fairly recently, so there's no guilt about the blocks hanging around for any length of time. Yet!
Tiny Scrappy Log Cabin 42x42". May 2013. This was made with 1" strips from my scrap basket- totally scrappy, just using red centres and lights and darks on opposing sides of the block. It served as my leaders and enders project for some time. I do enjoy playing around with log cabin settings, and I had just the right number of blocks for this one.
Bright and Black Baby Quilt. 37x50. This is another quilt assembled from the blocks from the birthday block swap (summer 2008). Not sure what it will be used for, which is part of why it's not finished, though I put these twelve blocks together in October/November 09. If I give it to someone for a baby quilt or play quilt, I won't do anything to it but quilt it; if I decide to use it for another purpose, I might add a black border.
Scrappy string quilt. 46x46. These string blocks were from several sources - both a swap and my own stash. I had loads of them, and some of them I made into a quilt for Cathi, and some I sent to LisaJo. I don't know when the swap was that I took part in, but the top was finished in March 2009. Of course, the quilt I made for Cathi was back in August 2006, so some of the blocks have been around for a while!
Batik quilt. 44x56". These blocks originally came from yet another block swap - we swapped 3x18" blocks and a number (can't remember how many) of 9" blocks - some of which I know I gave away for whatever reason. Anyway, these blocks were put into a top in November 09, but I'm sure the blocks had been hanging around for several years before that.
Orange and Blue French Braid Quilt, 47x55". Top completed June 2012.
JapaneseTaupe Lady of the Lake, 48.5x48.5". April 2014
Cool and Warm Wonky Log Cabins - June 2011. Only going to count this as one, as I intend to make a double sided piece from them!
Crumb Log Cabins set in hand-dyes. May 2013. approx 48x64". I hadn't originally planned to keep these blocks, but I quite like the resulting quilt, so I might hang on to it, at least until someone gets married or something...
Scrappy Stars, 55x55". September 2012. Made this to get rid of 5" squares from my scraps and Karol Ann's, but I like it a lot, so I'm going to keep it, rather than donate it.
Squaring the Rectangle, 53x64. January 2013. Used a good part of a layer cake, bought in Cornwall in the summer of 2011.
Stained Glass Top. 58x58". Top completed in April 2011 - originally started as a combination of Scrapbusting 2011 and an enders and leaders project.
Layer Cake Quilt. Blocks made in July 2008, top assembled June 2011.
Framed Hand-dyed squares. 56x62. November 2009. These blocks are from a swap with my dyeing group in 2005. I know this because each swapper signed and dated one of the blocks (I can't remember how many we sent in total) - not sure if that's a handy reminder or a terrible nag, at this stage...
Oriental Lantern Quilt. 58x64". Yet another set of swap quilt blocks - the original swap was in the spring of 2007, the top was finally put together in November 2009.
"Flying Pigs". 82" square. Oct 2005-Oct 2006. A Nesting Round Robin (where you add a different border or row each month, depending on instructions, only you keep the piece yourself rather than send it around to others to work on). This one was on the Scrap Quilting Forum on Delphi. Each month a different one of the players gave an instruction as to the type or style of border. I made my quilt entirely in hand-dyed fabrics - most of them mine, a few from swaps with others. On the right is the whole quilt - or as much of it as I am able to show indoors on my bed - the twisted ribbon border is the outer border. On the left is a little more detail of the central part. If you want to see the whole thing from centre to complete top, I have an set of photos in my flickr album. Once again, this originally wasn't quilted because I didn't feel my quilting skills lived up to it. And I didn't know what I want to do with it. I'm confident about my quilting skills now, but still have idea how to quilt it.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I'm not about to debate if Apple (AAPL) Google (GOOG) Microsoft (MSFT) and Nokia (NOK) have left BlackBerry (BBRY) in full-blown panic mode. TheStreet's Richard Saintvilius and I have repeatedly warned investors for more than a year of the peril. BlackBerry resembles a headless monster more than a leading tech company.
I asked my 11-year-old the other day to describe the chart pattern, and he replied, "Oh, we don't want to buy that one."
TheStreet's Bret Kenwell, who has also nailed BlackBerry's downward move, recently asked the question many investors are also asking, Is BlackBerry a Buy Yet? Kenwell says no. However, for me it's deja vu all over again (hat tip to Yogi Berra). Allow me to explain why.
Picture, if you will, what happens to an overloaded canoe or rowboat when all the occupants decide at once they need to move to either the left or right side as far as they can. The end result is they all become wet. The same can be said about stocks, and if you've watched the market for even a few years you know what I mean.
BlackBerry investors are scrambling to move as fast as they can to one side of the boat, and they're wet from losses. You can't blame most for throwing in the towel. Collectively, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nokia and others have understandably instilled so much fear that it actually appears logical to rush to the other side of the boat.In my last J.C. Penney (JCP) piece, Time to Profit From J.C. Penney, I shifted from an unmistakably bearish view to a bullish outlook. Same with Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) Walter Energy (WLT) Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF) and others in Investors Signal Now's the Time to Buy Coal. When the facts change, so must your opinion to avoid membership within the investing mob moving continuously from side to side in the boat.
