Comfy bed, good variety at breakfast barPosted Oct 6, 2014
Pros: The breakfast bar with the warm cinnamon rolls and the comfy bed.
Cons: Would like to have had a mini-fridge in the room. The bathroom counter isn't an ideal place for the coffee maker if someone is using the bath.
Location: There are many restaurants and shopping nearby, plus you're about 10 minutes or so from the Savannah riverfront area.
The hotel location was easy to find with a GPS and check-in was quick and courteous with Ms. Carol. The common areas seemed clean and well kept. They are apparently doing some upgrades because there were signs indicating such but I didn't see or hear any work being done while I was there. The bed was very comfy and the bathroom was roomy enough. Unfortunately we killed a large brown bug in the bathroom and there was a light bulb burned out in the fixture next to the mirror. I wish we'd had a mini fridge in the room. The breakfast room was clean and tables cleaned off when we went in to eat. The breakfast bar had a wonderfully pleasing variety - oatmeal, cereal, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, bagels, English muffins, pancakes, yogurt, and the BEST warm cinnamon rolls. Yum! Check-out was efficient and we noted the burned out light bulb to the front desk personnel so it could be changed before the next guest.

When I first arrived, no one was at the front desk for some time until I called out for service. Then out walks this guy in a black tank and khakis, adjusting his pants. I honestly thought the place was being robbed. He was apologetic and stated something spilled on his shirt. I still found his appearance unacceptable and was apprehensive about handing over my personal information. Very unprofessional, but hopefully an isolated incident.

Hotel experiencePosted Aug 19, 2014
The staff was friendly. The hotel was relatively clean throughout. The pool is only 4ft at the deepest. Two out of the three rooms was clean that our family stayed it. The room we stayed in was dirty. The carpet was stained and had holes in it with carpet strips sitting not glued down. There was something gross on the curtains that should have been cleaned before renting the room back out.

Schlechter ServicePosted Jul 21, 2014 on Hotels.com
Das Zimmer wurde in Etappen gereinigt, dadurch war es unmöglich sich nachmittags mal, nach 15.00 Uhr, auszuruhen. Die gebrauchten Handtücher wurden zeitig entnommen aber nicht neue bereitgelegt, Somit musste man jeden Tag sehen, das man Handtücher bekam. Teilweise wurden schmutzige Gläser nicht ausgetauscht. Auch das Frühstück war sehr schlecht. Es wurde kaum nachgefüllt, so dass wir einmal morgens ohne kaum was zu Essen gegangen sind. Wir würden dieses Hotel nicht wieder buchen.

Everton v West Ham - FA Cup Third Round
The FIFA Under-20 World Cup kicks off in Turkey later this month and will feature a number of the most exciting prospects in world football. Everton quintet Ross Barkley, Luke Garbutt, Chris Long, John Lundstram and John Stones will all be representing England, with Blues stars making up almost a quarter of Peter Taylor's squad for the tournament.Barkley has already been earmarked as one of a number of players to look out for with Juventus' highly-rated midfielder Paul Pogba representing France alongside reported Arsenal target Geoffrey Kondogbia.Manchester United's latest signing, Guillermo Varela, will also be on show for Uruguay with Liverpool's Suso and Gerrard Deulofeo, a product of Barcelona's famous La Masia youth system, leading the line for favourites Spain.With the Young Lions' campaign beginning against Iraq in Antalya on 23 June, here evertonfc.com takes a look at who our players will be competing against for a place in Taylor's starting XI.DefenceEngland's defence could feature an Everton full-back on either side but both Stones and Garbutt face plenty of competition for a starting spot. Jon Flanagan can play on either flank but only made a handful of appearances during the 2012/13 campaign after falling behind fellow youngsters Andre Wisdom and Jack Robinson in the pecking order at Liverpool. West Ham left-back Daniel Potts is also in contention for a starting spot but he was limited to two appearances for the club last term. Middlesbrough's Adam Reach impressed on Teeside and will also be vying for a start following two goals in 20 appearances for Boro.MidfieldThere is plenty of competition for a starting spot in England's midfield with both Barkley and Lundstram competing with a number of players who have Premier League experience.Liverpool midfielder Conor Coady was recently named as England's captain for the World Cup by manager Taylor. He captained the England U17 side that won the European Championship three years ago when the Three Lions defeated Spain 2-1 in the final. James Ward-Prowse has also captained England in the past and will be aiming for a start after making several Premier League appearances for Southampton following their return to the top flight.Newcastle's Gael Bigirimana is a newcomer to the team after earning a first call-up to the national side following some impressive displays under Alan Pardew during the second half of last season. Larnell Cole will also come into contention after hitting the headlines at the end of last campaign as he helped Manchester United lift the Barclays Under-21 Premier League with some notable displays. An outsider for a starting berth could be Tottenham youngster Alex Pritchard who made six appearances on loan for Peterborough last campaign before an ankle injury kept him on the sidelines. ForwardsBlues forward Long also faces competition for a starting position after making a late run into the U20s frame.Tottenham striker Harry Kane made his first team debut as a substitute for the club at the start of last season before joining Norwich and Leicester on loan. Kane has an impressive record at international level and has scored six goals in 14 appearances for England U19s. Luke Williams is another candidate having scored two goals in his 14 matches for Middlesbrough in the Championship. Like Kane, Williams has made a number of appearances for England U17s and U19s, scoring his only goal against Switzerland in June 201l.

The present invention provides a device that acts as an optical switch to control the intensity of a light beam through the action of a second control beam. This behavior is achieved through photoinduced anisotropy that develops in a monomolecular layer coating the inside surfaces of a liquid crystal cell. One of the surfaces is permanently aligned prior to assembly by illuminating the surface with polarized light in the presence of oxygen. The other surface retains reversible behavior, adapting anisotropy according to the orientation of the polarization of the control beam. Accordingly, an optically controlled liquid crystal light valve is provided that does not require contact-rubbing methods in order to permanently align one of the layers coating an inside surface of the cell.

This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/609,694 filed Sep. 13, 2004, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
The U.S. Government has a paid-up license in this invention and the right in limited circumstances to require the patent owner to license others on reasonable terms as provided for by the terms of DMR-0213918 awarded by the National Science Foundation.
The present invention relates generally to liquid crystal light valve devices, and specifically to the control surfaces used to regulate the liquid crystal medium in such a device, under conditions that demonstrate both permanent and actively controlled surface anisotropy, and methods for producing these devices.
In liquid crystal display (LCD) devices, the interior of the windows are coated with mechanically rubbed polymer layers to align the liquid crystal (LC) medium into a single domain. (Chigrinov, Liquid Crystal Devices: Physics and Applications (Artech House, Boston, 1999).) This practice has several disadvantages: The rubbing cloth is a source of contamination and electrostatic charging. The rubbed polymer is very difficult to pattern. And, it is impossible to control the alignment after cell assembly. To overcome these limitations, Ichimura and Gibbons initiated studies of organic thin films containing photosensitive groups for non-contact alignment. (Ichimura et al., Langmuir 4:1214 (1988); Gibbons et al., Nature 351:49 (1991).) Numerous variations have been reported, as has been documented in a recent review. (Ichimura, Chem. Rev. 100:1847 (2000).) Among the most successful designs are those that exploit the trans-cis-trans photoisomerization cycle of azobenzene. The absorption cross section for this process depends on the direction of the optical electric field. Therefore, an ensemble of azobenzene groups will develop photoinduced anisotropy (PIA) under polarized illumination as the molecules are agitated into low absorption orientations. (Sekkat and Knoll, Photoreactive Organic Thin Films (Academic Press, San Diego, 2002).) The azobenzene structure is similar to the rigid unit of common LC molecules, which promotes effective communication of the anisotropy to an adjacent LC medium. Therefore, the orientation of the LC next to this surface can be externally controlled. In a useful device, the opposite surface must maintain fixed alignment through strong anchoring. Typical embodiments are hybrids that involve the light-controlled layer on one window and a conventionally rubbed polymer on the opposite window. (Ichimura et al., Langmuir 4:1214 (1988); Gibbons et al., Nature 351:49 (1991); Ichimura et al., Liquid Crystals 20:423 (1996); Schadt et al., Nature 381:212 (1996); Palffy-Muhoray et al., Appl. Phys. A, 75:293 (2002).) While this configuration enables photoinduced switching after assembly of the cell, the rubbed polymer compromises the advantages of non-contact alignment.
Accordingly, photoinduced anisotropy has been used in hybrid liquid crystal light valves in the past. However, these hybrid cells contain one surface that is aligned by contact rubbing methods, which introduce contamination, scratches, and electrostatic charging, all of which limit the quality that can be achieved in a device.
In the realization of an all-optically aligned and controlled LC cell, one of the surfaces must exhibit irreversible photoalignment. In one embodiment this can be accomplished through light-induced cross-linking or other photochemical processes. (Chigrinov et al., in Optical Application of Liquid Crystals, L. Vicari, ed. (Institute of Physics Publishing, Bristol, UK, 2003) Ch. 5.) However, the simplest approach is to exploit photochemical modification of the same molecules that are used for the light-controlled layer. Materials containing azobenzene groups commonly exhibit photochemical modification under the right conditions. (Galvan-Gonzales et al., Opt. Lett. 24:1741 (1999); Ma et al., Appl. Opt. 34:5352 (1995); Galvan-Gonzales et al., J. Opt. Soc. Am. B 17:1992 (2000).) Embodiments of the present invention exploit this characteristic to achieve fixed, as well as reversible, behavior using different treatments of the same type of alignment surface, made from a silane-coupled monolayer of derivatized methyl red (d-MR SAM).
Optical memory, high resolution micro displays, and optical switching of optical beams may be provided by embodiments of the present invention. In the past, the production of high quality displays has been limited by the �contact� alignment methods that have been used to produce such devices. The permanent photoinduced anisotropy portion of the present invention allows display manufacturing without contact with the window surfaces. In addition, advanced all-optical computers that rely on light-driven switching can use cells constructed in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. Devices that demonstrate optical bistability, which is a fundamental element in an all-optical computer using embodiments of the present invention, can also be constructed using embodiments of the present invention.
In particular, an optically prepared and controlled nematic liquid crystal device, using derivatized methyl red self-assembled monolayers for surface alignment on both of its windows is described. This material demonstrates both reversible and irreversible photoinduced anisotropy, depending on the availability of oxygen during illumination. One window of the cell is permanently aligned prior to assembly while the other window retains its sensitivity to the orientation of the polarization of a controlling optical beam, leading to either a uniform or twisted state in the nematic cell. The entire construction and management of the cell is thereby achieved without touching the alignment surfaces.
These and other advantages will be apparent from the disclosure of the invention(s) contained herein. The above-described embodiments and configurations are neither complete nor exhaustive. As will be appreciated, other embodiments of the invention are possible using, alone or in combination, one or more of the features set forth above or described in detail below.
The synthesis of the d-MR ethoxy silane molecule, which has the technical name 2-(4-Dimethylamino-phenylazo)-N-(3-triethoxysilane-propyl)-benzamide, and preparation of d-MR SAMs (self-assembled monolayers) have been explained in a previous publication. (Yi et al., J. Vac. Sci. Technol. A 21:1770 (2003).) The synthesis is generally performed by employing 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) in a dehydration reaction to form what is known in the art as a �peptide bond�. The resulting molecule is dissolved in toluene with a small amount of a catalyst, for instance, n-butylamine. The catalyst helps to promote the attachment of the dMR to a substrate. In one embodiment, the substrate is glass or silicon that has been previously saturated with OH (silanol-coated). Alternatively, any substrate that is initially covered with a Si�OH species will work. For example, a spin-on glass could be used that is then coated on another material (i.e., metal, glass, silicon, etc.), so that the silane chemistry forms a covalent bond. In addition the surface of a polymer could be used with this type of silane coupling.
By contrast, when the illumination treatment is repeated in the presence of oxygen, a progressive and irreversible modification of the layer is observed (
In one embodiment, an LC cell can be made with a first d-MR SAM layer on a first glass slide and a second d-MR SAM layer on a second glass slide, 20 μm spacers, and filled (above the isotropic transition temperature) with a nematic liquid crystal, 4-n-pentyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl (5CB) using capillary action, and then sealed on its edges with epoxy. Prior to assembly one of the d-MR SAMs can be exposed to polarized light from a mercury lamp (with an output wavelength restricted to a band between 325 nm and 475 nm) to induce a substantially irreversible alignment. In a preferred embodiment, the illumination dose is about 40 J/cm2. Meanwhile, the other d-MR SAM is maintained in a photosensitive state through handling under subdued light.
As can be appreciated, the use of any liquid crystal is possible. Other liquid crystal materials that respond to the alignment layers can be used. The term �nematic� refers to the particular ordered phase in which the molecules adopt an orientation that, on average, points along the same line is space. This line, known as the �director�, defines the local orientation of the material. It is the role of the alignment layers to organize what would otherwise be randomly distributed three-dimensional domains into a single domain.
When the cell construction is completed according to embodiments of the present invention the cell is placed between crossed polarizers and probed with low intensity monochromatic light having a wavelength of 650 nm. A polarized control beam at 436 nm, incident on the sensitive window, may be used to manipulate the LC alignment in the cell. By changing the orientation of the polarization of the control beam, the alignment direction of the sensitive d-MR SAM can be changed, while the alignment direction of the photochemically altered SAM remained fixed.
In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, the mechanism of the irreversible alignment involves photo-oxidation. As demonstrated in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), the availability of oxygen is an essential component of the transformation. The SAM in a sealed LC cell is protected from this degradation mechanism. Hybrid LC cells made with our d-MR SAMs photo-switched without any degradation for more than 100 cycles involving a total dose comparable to the dose under which unprotected (air exposed) d-MR SAMs demonstrated the irreversible change. Photoisomerization-induced reorientation still operates under oxidizing conditions, but the product species is far less sensitive to continued illumination. This leads to irreversible anisotropy in the orientation distribution. The favored direction is perpendicular to the polarization of the treatment beam. This explains why the anchoring direction of the photo-oxidized layer is not altered by the photoinduced switching cycle of the assembled device.
With reference to
Initially, the d-MR SAM material is produced and deposited on a substrate as described above and in the disclosed references in step 304. An amount of d-MR SAMs are attached to a first substrate in step 304 creating a first layer. The deposition of the d-MR SAMs involves covalent bonding to a hydroxylated surface and therefore the reaction is self-limiting. Specifically, a layer that is more than one molecule thick cannot be produced. The goal is to prevent the formation of silanol globs in the solution before the reactants reach the surface. If these globs occur, they might deposit to produce a non-ideal (and very rough) layer that is considerably thicker than the monolayer.
Thereafter the first layer of d-MR SAMs is illuminated with polarized light in the presence of oxygen in step 308. The polarized light can be directed toward the first layer at any angle. For example, the polarized light may have an angle of incidence that is normal to the first layer. This angle of incidence may be achieved by having a light source placed proximally near the first layer with a linear polarizer inserted there between as in U.S. Pat. No. 5,936,691 to Kumar et al., which is incorporated herein by reference. Even though a normal angle of incidence is preferred, other orientations and angles of incidence may be used in step 308. In step 308, the first d-MR SAM layer is formed (attached) to the first substrate and after this step the crystals in the first d-MR SAM layer are irreversibly aligned through a chemical bond that is induced by contactless methods.
The next step is to prepare the second layer of d-MR SAMs. In step 312, a second amount of d-MR SAMs are attached to a second substrate. This layer of d-MR SAMs is not photochemically altered like the first layer was. Rather, they are maintained in a photosensitive state and the crystals on the second d-MR SAM layer remain sensitive to the changing polarization of a control beam. Next, the two substrates are brought together with a spacer(s) placed between them in step 316. The spacer(s) create a cavity between the first substrate and the second substrate that is filled with a liquid crystal in step 320. To complete the LC cell, the edges are sealed by epoxy or other known methods.
In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, permanent photoinduced anisotropy is achieved on the irreversible surface, without requiring manufacturing processes that involve contact with the window surfaces, such as mechanical buffering. Instead, permanent alignment is achieved by providing treatment illumination in the presence of oxygen. The reversible surface is maintained in subdued light conditions until it has been incorporated into a sealed cell. The light transmission characteristics of the cell can thereafter be controlled using a probe beam. Accordingly, the present invention includes a process for producing a liquid crystal light valve.

The tomato mixture for this colorful salad can be prepared 4 hours in advance and stored, airtight, in the refrigerator. Do not assemble the salad more than 30 minutes before serving, as the acid will discolor the peas.
Yield: 4 servings
Cook's notes: Trim tomatoes and cut in half. Gently squeeze out seeds and dice.
1. Test 1 or 2 sugar snap peas to see if strings are present. Bring large saucepan, 2/3-full of water to a boil on high heat. Add sugar snap peas; cook just long enough to cook tender-crisp, about 1 1/2 minutes. Place in colander and rinse with cold water. Drain. If strings are present, remove strings. If using within 1 hour, set aside at room temperature. If chilling for later use, wrap in clean, dry dish towel; place towel-wrapped peas in partially closed plastic bag and store in refrigerator.
2. In a medium-size, non-metallic bowl combine balsamic vinegar, garlic and shallots. Whisk in oil in a thin stream. Add tomatoes and lightly toss. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add capers and basil; toss. Spoon the salad onto a serving platter. Arrange sugar snap peas on top of tomatoes. Garnish with basil sprigs. Serve.

FAA lands in Mideast conflict
The agency that deals with lost luggage and cellphones winds up in a place few would expect.
News, Analysis and Opinion from POLITICO
The agency that deals with lost luggage and cellphones winds up in a place few would expect.
A State Department official called Cruz's claim about the FAA's decision to halt flights "ridiculous."
The FAA is still watching the situation as the death toll rises in the conflict with Hamas.
Opinion: Each civilian death in Gaza is a tragedy, but who is ultimately responsible? Hamas.
It's a target because of its military use.
The former New York City mayor attacks Blitzer's "tone" during his interview from Jerusalem.
The Texas senator says the administration is aiming to harm Israel's tourism industry.
"It was an overreaction for the FAA to halt U.S. flights here," the former NYC mayor says.
The FAA says it is continuing to monitor the situation in Tel Aviv.
Democrats are daring Republicans to oppose a border bill that includes aid to Israel.
"These are difficult decisions people make in war when someone attacks you," he says.
He ignores the FAA ban in attempt for cease-fire.
The former New York City mayor's announcement is a rebuke of the Obama administration.
Flights are canceled for a full day after a rocket lands near Tel Aviv's airport.
Ambassador Ron Dermer says repeatedly that Israel is not targeting Palestinian civilians.
Airlines are growing more anxious since last week, when a jet was shot down over Ukraine.
He says the number of Palestinian civilians killed in Gaza could endanger U.S. national security.
Egypt's foreign minister raises the possibility of restarting Israel-Palestine peace talks.
Simon says if America is "indispensable," we had better start acting like it.
Hillary Clinton repeatedly stressed that Israel was "provoked" by Hamas.
Between television interviews, Secretary of State John Kerry called the conflict in Gaza 'a hell of a pinpoint operation.'

Comments Thread For: Mayweather To Pacquiao: No 50-50 and I'm Not Budging!
WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26KOs) has once again explained his position on why he refuses to offer Manny Pacquiao, the WBO king, a even 50-50 split for a potential mega-fight. A few months ago, the two boxers actually spoke for a few brief minutes on the telephone. Mayweather offered Pacquiao a flat-fee of $40 million dollars, while the Filipino superstar countered back with a demand for a 50-50 split.

This guy is on crack...
he forgets that pac has outperformed him on some PPVs, most notable recent ones....
I said it a while ago, once pac agreed to the testing, floyd would move the goal posts and make sure the fight would not happen with the money aspect of things
2-3 years ago when floyd offered 50-50, floyd was the same big star but he was doing better than manny, now manny has become just as big if not bigger and floyd comes out with this bs?

Why is he still talking about the 50-50? Didn't Pacquiao change his offer to like 60-40 or 70-30 and then a split on PPV's or some crap like that?

Pacquiao has sold at least 150K more PPV in their last 3 fights, even if you consider the 1.25M PPV that was claimed for Floyd vs. Ortiz that industry experts doubted was accurate. Plus Pacquiao did not have to give up tickets for free on the day of the fight just so there are not a lot of empty seats.

He should at least come up with a better and reasonable excuse. I would have believed that Mayweather is trying to delay and squeeze all the $$$$ from a Pacquiao fight in order to recuperate money from a civil suit.
A civil suit filed by the victims of the Crystal Palace shooting is going to be very very expensive. Once his associates implicates "Money" in the shooting, the civil suit is a done deal. He might even go bankrupt.

Great service and great people family owned since 1967. My family has been going here for years! Honest and fair.
I've gone to this shop for over 25 years, but no more. The service has gone so far downhill that I had to wait hours for a tow truck. I never received the promised call to tell me what was up with the car. I had to call the next day to get the diagnosis. Then I had to wait three more days for a simple belt repair. If I wouldn't have needed to have the car towed out of there, I would have gone elsewhere in a minute.
Unfortunately, this isn't the first time I've had a problem there in recent years, but I've given them another chance because of long history. Not anymore.

Yesterday – information.
Today – voting.
That's the sequence of events for approximately 780 workers at the American Axle & Manufacturing Driveline Facility in Three Rivers regarding the tentative agreement between their employer and the United Auto Workers (UAW).
Members of UAW Local 2093 gathered at 4 p.m. yesterday (Sunday, May 18th) at Three Rivers High School for an "informational meeting" to hear details about the agreement that was announced on Friday.
Union officials say ratification voting will take place today at the union hall on Hoffman Road.
Approval of the proposed contract would end a strike against American Axle that began on February 26th.
Here are links to other stories about the American Axle/UAW situation:

This hotel was the nicest hotel I've ever visited. Gorgeous decor, attentive and gracious staff who went the extra mile to make sure I had a comfortable stay. Interesting neighborhood--not too touristy or crowded--delicious food and what seems like start ups working in the restaurant by day. Get a pass to the gym for a workout just around the corner.

BTW I ended up stripping the whole pistol and let me tell you that spring for the hand is a bugger, I had to download a schematic to figure it out. That lock is never gonna work again and from looking at the gun you would never know its been disabled , test fired it with the lock engaged and it still fires and didnt even make a scratch on it/

I have been looking into the mystical use of numbers and I am finding some very reveling wisdom in the relationship of them and the universal governing powers that control our lives. The one I would like to talk about is the number 9.
From childhood we learn to count and then mathematics. We begin to learn the more complex systems of algebra and if you made it this far going into trigonometry and calculus. Geometry is part of mathematics that deals with measurements of shapes, area and volume of things and the properties of space. Geometry is from the ancient Greek meaning "earth-measurement". Geometry would fall into the field of astronomy and the relationship between movements of celestial bodies and the mapping the positions of stars and planets which is part of astronomy.
The numbers game is something to be explored and is quite mind boggling. All of us have a favorite number or what we feel is a lucky number. Some have numbers that keep repeating or showing up in one's life. The number 40 used to be one for me. Numbers are assigned to us as a security insurance number. Our birthdates are related to numbers and the stars.
Numbers are a secret language by themselves. There are important numbers in the system and the number 1 being holy as far as a God and in many beliefs there are 3 aspects that are given to that God and thus being a triad. This would say 1 being 3 or 3 being 1… so I guess one could say 1 and 3 are equal. Add them together and you would get 4 which means power or strength. Four is also the number for man.
In Zen, 0 is a number with a value although people don't recognize it to have a value. But without knowing the value of 0, I would not see the value in 1.
Reading the bible 3's, 7's and 12's are most noticeable.
3 is related to some sort of change has happened or "Divine purpose".
7 is usually related to Gods power "Perfection"
12 was related to power and authority as in the disciples or the elders. 12 being" Government"
The number nine is noted in biblical scripture 49 times stated by, http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/9.html, but I would say the number 9 is repeated time and time again in the bible but a lot of people do not see or catch the clever masking of it. Let me give you an example of what I am talking about. What if I was to say if you would add the number 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 together they would equal nine? You would say impossible at first glance, but this is how the mystical crafters worked. Lets break the numbers down in a way to have them add in pairs; so (1+2= 3); (3+4=7); (5+6=11); (7+8=15); (9+0=9) so we are left with 3, 7, 11, 15 and 9.
Add 3, 7, 11, 15 and 9 and you get 45 and 4+5=9.
In a simpler way just add 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+0=45 and 4+5=9
Remember this is a numbers game and 3, 7, 11, 15 have meanings as well. In seeing this we did produce the number 9 in the hidden formation of numbers. It is a code that is threaded throughout the bible and only those would have the ability to drop the crap that we have been influence by can begin to see the truth. Going to the 4 groups of number related to nine, here being 3, 7, 11, 15 they add up to 36
Let me throw out some other numbers. 360 = 9. 360 drop the zero and we have 36 and 3+6 = 9. We associate 360 as being a complete circle in degrees and each quarter of this circle is 90 degrees and half 90 is 45 thus 4+5=9. If we take each degree of right angles here and go from 0 to 90 then 180 then to 270 and complete the circle of 360 each value on their own adds up to 9. Looking at the compass we are taught that we have four directions North, South, East and West. And those are usually drawn out in two lines of longitude and latitude, one from top to bottom and one from side to side. But in reality we live in the spaces between these cardinal points. Thus being Northeast, Southeast, Southwest and Northwest each of these having 9 letters to form the areas in which we live. Now take that one more step and take each 90 degree point and add or subtract the next 45 degree angle and the number would still add to 9. IE: 90 degrees plus 45 degrees =135 and 1+3+5 = 9.
So I would say the best direction to follow is 9 which in Hebrew is "New life" and 9 is supreme consciousness and in Buddhism we come to the 9th consciousness.
The number nine gas been portrayed in song and movies. Johnny Deep played the role in the "Ninth gate". Tim Burton's stop figure animation "9" and the Beatles "Revolution 9" from their White album which was from their 9th UK album released.
John Lennon liked to the number 9 and lived at an address of; 9 Newcastle rd, Wavertree, Liverpool. Each name here has 9 letters. Lennon was born on Oct 9th. Love potion number 9 was a popular song in the sixties and was made into a movie as well.
Nicola Tesla was intrigued by numbers as well. He quoted If you only knew the magnificence of 3, 6 and 9 then you would have a key to the universe. It basically boiled down to energy/field/consciousness, which equates in to electricity, magnetism, consciousness.
Nine in the precession of numbers is the highest one can go before a new number begins usually with a 1 thus creating the next series of numbers IE 9 then goes to10. 99 then goes to 100, 999 then to 1000
The human is thought to be carried in the womb for 9 months.
Christ died in the 9th hour.
Christ died at the age 33 and 3×3=9
In gen 6:3 (equals 9) God set the life span of man to 120 ( 120 drop the 0 and is 12 and equals 3. 12 is also governing law and man cannot pass this age)
The mark of the beast is 666 and this ='s 9. 6+6+6=18 and 1+8 =9.
The chosen 144,000 in revelations is 1+4+4 = 9
In the 145th Psalm we find 9 reasons for praising God.
From the book Numbers and their Occult power by Wynn Westcott; Attention is called to its being an emblem of Matter, which, ever varying, is never destroyed; so the number 9 when multiplied by any number always reproduces itself,
thus: – 9 times 2 are 18 and 8+1=9; and so on below:
9×3=27; 2+7=9 9×12=108; 1+8=9
9×4=36; 3+6=9 9×13=117; 7+1+1=9
9×5=45; 4+5=9 9×14=126; 6+2+1=9
9×6=54; 5+4=9 9×15=135; 5+3+1=9
9×7=63; 6+3=9 9×16=144; 4+4+1=9
9×8=72;7+2=9 9×17=153; 3+5+1=9
9×9=81; 8+1=9 9×18=162; 2+6+1=9
9×10=90; 9+0=9 9×19=171; 1+7+1=9
9×11=99; 9×20=180; 8+1+0=9
Cats are to said to have 9 lives and in the hyrogithic we can see the black cat Bastet
Throwing in a 7
Lastly God being light; As I have stated before in other post the light I talk about is all frequencies in the known spectrum.
The speed of light in MPH is 670,616,629 mph, 299,792,458 meters per second, or 186, 282 miles per second. Light takes approximately one second to travel the 238,854 miles to the moon. The speed of light is considered a physical constant that is used in many areas of physics. This is because light always travels at this speed in space or in a vacuum regardless of the measurement source or observer. The most popular use of the speed of light is in Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, E=mc^2, where c represents the speed of light. More formally, the speed of light is the speed of a mass-less particle in a vacuum and is the upper bound on which energy or matter can travel.
From this lets see the numbers work with the speed of light it says the speed of light in mph's is 670,616,629. If you add them in their groupings of 670+616+629 you would get a total of 1915. 19+15 is 34 and 3+4 =7. If you add them as 1+9+1+5 you would get 16 and 1+6=7. If you add these number by themselves 6+7+0+6+1+6+6+2+9 it would = 43 and 4+3 =7 again. If you add 6+7+0=13, 6+1+6 = 13 and 6+2+9 =17. Add them either as 13+13+17=43 and 4+3=7 or 1+3+1+3+1+7=16 and 1+6=7. God being light and 7 is the Number related to God in the bible. So I would say that the first verse of Genesis is God created a body for himself which is light
Before Adam and Eve ate, God said In that day would will surely die. Not in the sense of body but in the sense of mind. A lot of people walk around like a zombie or living corpse with no life or no thought. We have gotten disconnected from God as being the cosmos.
Open your mind and you open the cosmos

NEW YORK — The teenage actor who plays the half in the hit CBS comedy "Two and a Half Men" says in a video posted online by a Christian church that the show is "filth" and that viewers shouldn't watch it.
Nineteen-year-old Angus T. Jones has been on the show, which used to feature bad-boy actor Charlie Sheen and remains heavy with sexual innuendo, since he was 10 but says he doesn't want to be on it anymore.
"Please stop watching it," Jones said. "Please stop filling your head with filth."
Jones plays Jake, the son of Jon Cryer's uptight divorced chiropractor character, Alan, and the nephew of Sheen's hedonistic philandering music jingle writer character, Charlie. Sheen, who has publicly criticized CBS, was fired and replaced by Ashton Kutcher, who plays billionaire Walden.
In the video posted by the Forerunner Christian Church in Fremont, Calif., Jones describes a search for a spiritual home. He says the type of entertainment he's involved in adversely affects the brain and "there's no playing around when it comes to eternity."
"You cannot be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that," he said. "I know I can't. I'm not OK with what I'm learning, what the Bible says, and being on that television show."
Show producer Warner Bros. Television had no comment Monday. CBS didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
"Two and a Half Men" survived a wild publicity ride less than two years ago, when Sheen was fired for his drug use and publicly complained about the network and the show's creator, Chuck Lorre. Sheen later said he wasn't still angry at the sitcom's producers and the network and acknowledged he would have fired himself had he been in their shoes.
The show was moved from Monday to Thursday this season, and its average viewership has dropped from 20 million an episode to 14.5 million, although last year's numbers were somewhat inflated by the intense interest in Kutcher's debut. It is the third most popular comedy on television behind CBS's "The Big Bang Theory" and ABC's "Modern Family."

the green beretsPaper Rating: Word Count: 2149 Approx Pages: 9
The Green Berets are a Special Forces division of the United States Army. Major Herbert Brucker, a veteran Special Forces Officer, originally designated wearing the green beret in 1953. They wore it in the field for prolonged exercises. It soon spread throughout all Special Forces even though the Army refused to authorize its official use. When President Kennedy planned a visit to Fort Brag in 1961, he officially requested that all the Special Services Forces at this special event wear their berets. President Kennedy felt that since they had a special mission they needed something to set them apart from the rest. General Yarborough wore his green beret to meet the Commander in Chief. President Kennedy remarked that he was sure that the green beret would be a mark of distinction in the trying times ahead. In 1962, President called the Green Beret "a symbol of excellence, a badge of courage, a mark of distinction in the fight for freedom. The Department of the Army was later authorized to use the beret as part of the Special Forces uniform.
Each branch of the United States Military has its own Special Operations Force. The U.S. Army has the Special Forces nicknamed the Green Berets. The

|On the September 11 edition of NBC's syndicated The Chris Matthews Show, New York Times columnist David Brooks revealed that he has learned from private conversations with Bush officials who 'represent' what 'Bush believes' that from its earliest days, the Bush administration adopted a policy of shielding itself from political damage by never publicly admitting any mistake -- even if it meant lying to the media and the American public.
