Sacramento Dental Implants: A Solution That Can Last a Lifetime
When you choose dental implants with Sacramento dentist Dr. Nahorney you'll not only get the winning smile you've always dreamed of, you'll also regain the confidence to smile, speak, eat, and laugh freely again.
Implant dentistry can permanently solve the unsightly and often uncomfortable damage to teeth caused by decay, disease, trauma, or the natural misalignment, shape and color of your teeth.
At J Gregory Nahorney DDS we can replace bridges, dentures, and gaps with beautiful and permanent tooth implant dentistry - and help make a life-changing difference in your social interactions and everyday activities.
The placement of dental implants is a two-step process. First, we refer you to a local specialist who will surgically implant a metal anchor into your jawbone. Once that's healed, Dr. Nahorney will design and place a new porcelain crown on the anchor. Your new implant will look just like it's one of your natural teeth.

[video] S&P 500 Could Hit 1850 During Santa Claus Rally
The video this transcript is based on appeared on December 26.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Keith Bliss, senior vice president at Cuttone & Co. says with three trading days left in 2013, momentum from the Santa Claus rally could move the S&P 500 past 1850.
The markets today are trading up on what is lighter holiday season lighter volume but the markets are in a momentum phase right now where we certainly expect them to trade higher. Based upon the price action that we've seen last week and what we got earlier this week it's not, it would not be surprising to me if we see the S&P 500 trade all the way up to 1850. Remarkably in some of our quantitative models and technical models we don't see the S&P 500 overbought until it gets up about 1860. So even though we've got only three trading days left in the year we certainly can see the market trade up a couple of percentage points on lower volume and the moves tend to be exaggerated. When you have lower volume like this you could possibly get to our level.
Starting out at the beginning of 2014 I would expect that same continuation of the momentum because you have what's called the January effect, so right now we're in the Santa Claus rally which is that week of trading in between Christmas and New Years when people anticipate the January effect. The January effect is new money that now will be coming into the equity markets. Of all the asset classes in the world you could invest in right now the one that's performed the best in 2013 is US equities. So I would imagine their retail monies as well as institutional money that's been sitting on the sidelines riding into the end of the year will be coming into the market at the beginning of January to keep the rally going for some time.

The duties and responsibilities of a trustee of a charitable remainder trust (CRT) are many and varied, but perhaps the most important one is the investment of the trust's assets. The investment choices of the trustee directly affect the distributions to the donor (or other income beneficiary) as well as the residual value that goes to the charitable beneficiary.
Being held responsible for the results of trust investments is a natural concern for trustees. This is especially true in situations in which the donor of a CRT is also the trustee. Thus, it's tempting to look at ways to reduce or eliminate the trustee's responsibility with trust investment results. Generally, trustees have sought relief in one of two ways; either by finding protection in the trust document or by seeking it within state regulations.
Drafters of CRT documents should take care not to go overboard in protecting the trustee through the trust document provisions. In a private letter ruling, the Internal Revenue Service concluded that a CRT wasn't qualified because the trust document went too far in delegating investment responsibility to an investment advisor, absolving the trustee of investment responsibility.1
Since state regulations are the most recognized source of trustee law, when crafting a CRT, it's important to have a solid understanding of the Uniform Prudent Investor Act (UPIA), which is the governing document on this topic in most jurisdictions.
Relief from Responsibility
Generations of trustees, lawyers and others have led the way to a modern understanding of a trustee's responsibility, and these same individuals have helped define where that responsibility ends. Their influence on the UPIA is extensive and can be found in some of the UPIA's most important sections. Here's a brief review of these provisions.
Section 1 covers the Prudent Investor Rule, and Section 1(b) states that a trustee isn't liable to a beneficiary to the extent that the trustee acted in reasonable reliance on the provisions of the trust. Therefore, if the terms of the CRT merely state that the trustee is to invest in a manner in which he sees fit, it could be difficult to challenge the results of the trustee's choices.
Section 9 reverses the former rule of trust law forbidding the trustee to delegate investment and management functions. On the other hand, this comes at the requirement of certain safeguards (as outlined below). Section 9(c) states:
A trustee who complies with the requirements of subsection (a) is not liable to the beneficiaries or to the trust for the decisions or actions of the agent to whom the function was delegated.
This wording implies that if a trustee delegates investment responsibilities to another, the trustee is free from the consequences of such delegation.
Reinforcement of Responsibility
Here are some of the more important parts of the UPIA regarding specific investment duties:
Section 2(d) notes that a trustee shall make a reasonable effort to verify facts relevant to the investment and management of trust assets. Consider a situation in which assets are supposedly invested in accordance with the terms of the CRT. To meet the requirement of Section 2(d), the trustee must have some knowledge of the investments within the CRT and do a reasonable amount of due diligence to make sure they're appropriate.
Additionally, Section 2(f) states that if a trustee holds himself out to have special skills or expertise, that trustee has a duty to use those special skills or expertise. In other words, if the CRT's trustee claims to have investment management expertise, he is required to use that expertise and can be held to a higher standard than one who makes no such claim.
As mentioned earlier, the relief granted in Section 9(c) comes with strings attached. Specifically, the safeguards in Section 9(a) are: (1) careful selection of the agent, (2) establishing the scope and terms of the delegation, consistent with the purposes and terms of the trust, and (3) periodically reviewing the agent's performance and compliance with terms of the delegation. Therefore, at a minimum, a trustee is responsible for supervising the actions of any agent he appoints.
General Investment Duties
Given the overall scope of the trustee's obligations and responsibilities, it's prudent to review how these play out in the specific scenario of investing the trust's assets. Here are the more general responsibilities regarding the investment of the CRT's assets according to the UPIA:
Section 2 provides the overall approach to investing within a trust, including standard of care, portfolio strategy and risk and return objectives. Much of what it covers may seem intuitive. For example, Section 2(a) requires a trustee to invest as a prudent investor would. Section 2(b) goes further and mandates that the assets within the CRT need to be viewed as an individual portfolio, with their interrelationships taken into consideration.
Section 2(c) identifies the investment circumstances that need to be considered: (1) General economic conditions, (2) possible effects of inflation or deflation on the portfolio, (3) possible tax consequences of investment decisions or strategies, (4) the role each investment plays within the overall trust portfolio, (5) the expected total return from income and appreciation of capital, (6) other resources of the beneficiaries, (7) the needs for liquidity, regularity of income and preservation or appreciation of capital, and (8) an asset's special relationship or special value, if any, to the purposes of the trust or to one or more of the income or remainder beneficiaries.
Section 2(e) allows the CRT to invest in any kind of property or type of investment consistent with the standards of the UPIA.
Sections 3 and 4 cover diversification and duties at inception of trusteeship. Section 3 requires that a trustee diversify the investments of the CRT unless the trustee reasonably determines that, because of special circumstances, the purposes of the trust are better served without diversifying. Section 4 requires the trustee to review the assets at the inception of the trusteeship to make sure they're appropriate for the purposes of the CRT.
Sections 5 and 6 cover loyalty and impartiality. Section 5 requires the trustee's sole loyalty be to the trust's beneficiaries. Section 6 considers the split-interest nature of the CRT, and requires the trustee to consider investment decisions and their impact on both income and charitable beneficiaries.
Section 7 covers investment costs and states the trustee must consider all expenses associated with investments made by the trust. Even relatively small costs can have a significant impact on the available distributions to the income and charitable beneficiaries in a charitable remainder unitrust (CRUT). See "Total Distributions to Beneficiaries Over 20 Years," below.3
Section 8 focuses on reviewing compliance. This section simply states that the trustee's compliance with the prudent investor rule is determined by the facts and circumstances known at the time of a trustee's decision. In other words, hindsight is irrelevant.
Typical Investments
To determine the appropriateness of an asset for inclusion in a CRT, it's important to understand the basics of its risk/return profile. Here's a brief overview of some of the most common assets found inside of a CRT:
Bonds are a common investment purchased for the purpose of generating current income. Generally, municipal bonds are seen as a way to provide tax-free distributions to the income beneficiary. However, because of the ordering of income rules associated with a CRT, tax-free distributions can't be made until those from every other source are made first. Additionally, if interest rates rise, the principal value of the bond will deteriorate, thereby lowering the valuation of the trust assets.
Individual stocks can be held to generate various sources of income, including capital gains (long and short-term) and dividends. Stocks are usually held because of their ability to provide growth to a portfolio, but do so at the price of high volatility. A typical approach to taming portfolio volatility is to have a blend of stocks and bonds, which have historically moved in opposite directions. As stated in UPIA Section 2(b), what matters is how the investments within the CRT work in relationship to each other, and if the overall volatility of the portfolio is reduced by having a blend of stocks and bonds, then it matters less that an individual stock is highly volatile.
Mutual funds are managed pools of investments, and by their definition are well diversified according to the objectives of the fund. Mutual funds can be invested in stocks, bonds or a combination of both. Mutual funds will mimic the income, growth and volatility of their underlying portfolios. A new type of mutual fund type is a target volatility fund. The main purpose of this type of fund is to professionally manage the assets within the fund to provide growth within a specific volatility range.
Variable annuities have been popular investment vehicles for net income makeup charitable remainder unitrusts (NIMCRUTs) for a long time. This is largely due to their ability to let trustees limit income by allowing them to choose the level of withdrawals to take when the contract is at a gain. Additionally, they may provide good diversification since most variable annuities allow for investing in a large number of asset classes.
If a trustee wishes to purchase an annuity for a CRT and the trust terminates at the end of two lives, it's advisable to purchase one that allows for joint annuitants, assuming it doesn't terminate at the first annuitant's death. Otherwise, at that time, all of the accrued gains in the annuity will be realized by the trust. This could create an extraordinarily large distribution (and a painful tax situation) to the surviving income beneficiary. Ironically, this also could reduce future distributions available to both the surviving income and charitable beneficiaries.
Optional Guarantees
The introduction of optional guarantees has given variable annuity owners additional ways (beyond diversification) to reduce risk while still being fully invested. To know if a variable annuity's optional guarantee makes sense within a CRT, it's important to understand what the guarantee provides, and then decide if it's of any value to the trust beneficiaries.
There are three types of optional guarantees that may be available on variable annuities: (1) income, (2) accumulation, and (3) death benefit. Each optional guarantee carries an additional cost, so a decision to purchase one must be carefully considered.
An income guarantee protects the ability of the annuity owner to receive income, even when the assets within the annuity have been exhausted. This guarantee may make sense for a portion of the funds in a charitable remainder annuity trust (CRAT), since the CRAT is at risk of running out of funds to make distributions to the income beneficiary. It will have little or no effect on distributable income from a CRUT, since distributions from a CRUT are ruled by the trust's provisions, valuation of assets and income.
On the other hand, an accumulation guarantee may be useful in creating distributable income from a CRUT. This type of guarantee protects against a decline in the value of the variable annuity (which may include gains in addition to principal) over a specified period. In return for this guarantee, the upside potential of these contracts is limited. If the account value is less than that of the guarantee, the account value is brought up to the guaranteed amount on the appropriate time interval (usually on a specified contract anniversary).
The purpose of a death benefit guarantee is to pay an amount of money in excess of the value of the annuity upon the death of its measuring life. A death benefit guarantee won't help the income beneficiary (assuming the annuitant is the income beneficiary,) nor will it have any impact on the tax deduction available to the donor. But, it may help the CRT fulfill its obligation to provide a benefit to the charitable beneficiary.
Proper Investing Approach
A good investment design process for a CRT involves many of the same steps used in a comprehensive investment planning exercise for an individual. The trustee needs to take three steps: (1) profile the parties to the trust arrangement (the donor, income beneficiary if other than the donor) and the charitable institution, (2) identify each party's investment and/or other long-term objectives, and (3) draft a plan that balances potentially competing objectives within the context of the current economic, investment and fiduciary environments. The key outputs of this process are an asset allocation decision appropriate for the trust and a documented investment policy to guide the management and monitoring of the investments.
The trustee must understand the personal and financial characteristics of the income beneficiary the trust is designed to benefit. For CRUT beneficiaries who need more stability and predictability of income, higher fixed-income allocations might make sense. For CRUT beneficiaries who want their income stream to grow over time as well as increase the remainder value, higher allocations to equities might be appropriate. If the donor isn't the income beneficiary, the donor's objectives in creating the trust must also be understood. For example, perhaps the donor's primary goal is to provide a growing income stream for the named income beneficiary or conversely, to preserve the trust principal for the charitable beneficiary.
Ultimately, the investment planning process should enable the trustee to achieve three goals: (1) identify the asset classes that should be considered as options for the trust investment portfolio, (2) identify the risk and return (income and appreciation) expectations of each asset class, and (3) understand the benefits of combining these asset classes in order to achieve an attractive risk-adjusted rate of return. The return and risk attributes of different investment combinations will have a significant impact on the construction of the CRT's portfolio.
1. Private Letter Ruling 8041100.
2. The four-tier rules establish a "worst-in, first out" framework of taxation, in which income flows to the income beneficiary first as ordinary income, then as capital gain (short-term followed by long-term), then as tax-free income and lastly as return of capital. See Internal Revenue Service Section 664(b). Strategies to minimize taxes shouldn't conflict with the diversification requirement in Section 3.

Hamden police to get wearable cameras
HAMDEN (AP) — Hamden police officers will soon have a new addition to their uniforms: wearable cameras that officials hope will cut down on lawsuits against the town and influence better behavior by both officers and the public.
The town's Legislative Council on Monday approved a bid waiver requested by the police department to buy 36 Taser AXON wearable cameras. The New Haven Register reports the cameras and related equipment will cost about $35,000.

MotoGP: Cal Crutchlow leaves Yamaha to sign for Ducati
Cal Crutchlow has signed a two-year deal to ride for Ducati from next year.
The deal gives Crutchlow, who has had four podium finishes for Yamaha's satellite team Tech 3 this year, a MotoGP factory ride for the first time.
Crutchlow on his future
"At the moment, my career seems to be on the up and I'm getting closer to the guys at the front and starting to challenge for wins.
"I don't want to take a step back, so the next thing is to be in a factory team, but it has to be the one with the right machinery."
The 27-year-old had sought a factory ride with Yamaha, who have replaced him with Spaniard Pol Espargaro, 22.
But the Briton joins Ducati, replacing 2006 world champion Nicky Hayden and re-forming his partnership with former Tech 3 team-mate Andrea Dovizioso.
The last British riders in a MotoGP factory team were Jeremy McWilliams and Shane Byrne, who raced with Aprilia Racing in 2004.
There are only three full factory teams in MotoGP - at Ducati, Yamaha and Repsol Honda - and each has two riders.
Both Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi have contracts with Yamaha that run until 2015, while Repsol Honda have Spaniards Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa signed up.
Riders at factory teams benefit from updates and higher spec machinery before their rivals in other outfits, who lease their bikes from the factories.
MotoGP title standings
Marc Marquez - 163 points
Dani Pedrosa - 147 points
Jorge Lorenzo - 137 points
Valentino Rossi - 117 points
Cal Crutchlow - 116 points
In May, Crutchlow revealed that Yamaha were in talks with Moto2 rider Espargaro for a Tech 3 ride in 2014.
With Bradley Smith under contract with the satellite team for 2014, it looked as though Crutchlow would be left without a ride in 2014.
Yamaha, though, were keen for the Isle of Man star, who has finished as the top satellite rider in all but two races this year, to stay with the Tech 3 team.
Yamaha Motor Racing managing director Lin Jarvis revealed ongoing talks with Crutchlow's management team as late as this week.
He told motogp.com: "Now is the time to make money in your career, so the main issue is that we are trying to see if we can put together an offer that is enough for him to stay."
Ducati have struggled in recent seasons and have not won a race since Casey Stoner took victory at the Australian Grand Prix in 2010.
Dovizioso finished fourth in the championship for Tech 3 last year, but has struggled to make his mark for Ducati. His best placing this season has been fourth.
Seven-time MotoGP champion Rossi had a two-year spell with Ducati but managed only three podiums, eventually rejoining Yamaha this year.
The Audi takeover of Ducati has prompted big changes in the managerial side of the MotoGP project, but they still remain without a single podium in 2013.
Ducati Corse general manager Bernhard Gobmeier talks of a two-year project to get Ducati back to a competitive level.

good look to you cal will support you to the end, but think yam need a look at themselves if Honda can have a 3 bike team why cant they and also ducati please make an effort to get a decent bike for the man!!!!! and why sign pol when aleix is doing so bloody well makes you wonder what they are thinking

I think that this is a great move for Cal, he has a track record getting the best out of a non factory machine, Audi are not going to take being second best for long and he is in prime position to push for a bike he can ride as he wants. Go Cal the chance is richly deserved and I reckon he could be the third rider after Capi and Casey to tame the Ducati.

What a shame. Cal has, in effect, ruined his carrier. If the goat can't win on a Ducati nobody can. Its better to be the best on the best satalite bike than ok on a "not very good" works bike. I hope I'm wrong and that Cal proves me wrong but I can't see it.

Is two years enough? It sounds like they are getting someone who is perhaps not the fastest but is able to work with the team to produce a very fast bike - rider combination ... but it will take time to develop a fast bike.

I for one am gutted Cal has signed at Ducati , Rossi who's dream was to win a race for Ducati couldn't do it , Hayden's had enough of it , and Dovi is stuck with it , look at the "lab" bike that's next years bike it's nowhere , I hoped Cal would stay at Tech 3 til 2015 then Suzuki factory team return , it's a good move for money bad for fans ,enjoy the back of the grid cal that's where you'll be

Do not win any major races though do they?

the only way up was onto a factory ride, no room at honda no room at yamaha (who pretty much did the dirty on him any way by going straight to Espargaro 1st) Ducati was the best option, Yamaha really have been short sighted over this, i hope it works pity i might not see it.
Comment number 158.English Stephen
3rd August 2013 - 3:53
Yep, Good Luck Cal! I am sorry that Yamaha couldn't come through in the end because you'd have a much better shot at a title with them. However, your aggressive style may make that Ducati work and if you can succeed where so may good riders have failed, well you'll be even more of a hero! Well done on a factory ride!!!

If BMW can reverse engineer and Suzuki GSX-R and make it into the better 1000RR then why cant Audi do the same to the Ducati?
Hope it works out for Cal's sake (not bothered about ducati myself)

@154 Stoner did not have Jerry Burgess who supposedly is the best bike engineer and had been with Rossi through Honda ,Yamaha and Ducati. Still he could not sort the bike for Vale. Stoner left Ducati because he was not happy that the bike was under developed against Yamaha and Honda. Rossi was proof he was right. Tech 3 tied by Yamaha were forced to sign Espargaro so Cal was forced out

Now Ducati is owned by Audi, Audi will want to make their investment pay. The only way to do that is to build a bike to win races. This is a good time to move to Ducati.

2 years? He should wait at Tech3 but flippin Yamaha want POL? Why not Redding?
Redding isn't Spanish, there are 4 races in Spain each yr, and there will be a lot more TV & press coverage in Spain.
Yamaha want an up and coming Spanish Rider, and Mark Marquez is spoken for.
The UK doesn't have the TV exposure to capitalise on a British Rider, even less from now on.

C magazine shot Holmes just a week before her divorce announcement.
"Wall naps" are getting awfully glamorous these days.
A girl's got to have something to wear!
Also, Gwen Stefani, Miley Cyrus, and supposedly Jessica Chastain.
Let's call a spade a spade.
"I miss my ass. It just went away!"
It's pegged to her Holmes & Yang line, since she doesn't have any upcoming acting projects.
Why, it's Emma Stone!
On the latest Vogue Brazil.
She's also on the July cover of Vogue Mexico.
"However I feel when I wake up is exactly how I dress."
How unpredictable!
"I'm eight inches taller than the average person walking down the street."
She's blonde and wearing lots of black eyeliner.
She's reportedly already been shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
She thanked the magazine on Facebook yesterday.
Toni Garrn posed in that spring 2012 Stella McCartney dress for the magazine's June cover.

Hello, I am planning on decorating our living room and kitchen/dining area with a rustic, primitive theme. However, I am NOT going to pay 100's of dollars to do so! LOL Does anyone know of craft suppliers that offer stencils, paints, patterns, etc. at decent prices that more primitive? I am on a budget and can't afford 20-30 bucks per small wooden sign or block set with a cute saying on it-- I'd rather make it myself!
Here are some project ideas & instructions:http://www.dreamasplace.com/Free-Craft-Projects.htmlhttp://primitivecrossroads.com/infofreebies.htmhttp://www.countrystylehome.com/Coun...ips-Ideas.html
You should be able to get bare wooden items at Michaels, and the paints there or at Wal-Mart.
Thank you SO much tinker! You are great!
Another place you can check is http://www.favecrafts.com/
very simple stuff. often it's sponsored by styrofoam.com, so they tend to use styrofoam stuff, and various paints.....but it's great for patterns and ideas. Organized by lots of "types"....if you're looking for christmas ideas, or holiday ideas, or bedroom, or bathroom, or kitchen, or by knitting, crochet, painting....
I use it for ideas and the occasional pattern.
You can also buy stencil material blank, and cut your own stencil if you have a computer to print out a design on.
To make a cohesive house, you can choose one or two designs and use them in different colors or sizes throughout the house...stencil on signs, chair backs...embroider or crossstitch on towels...stencil or embroider on curtains, etc. Emboss on copper or aluminum sheets for your cupboards, or framed for wall art....ot punched in tin sheets for same.
I love primitive decor. Do you have any specific types of things you are interested in doing? Dolls, rugs, quilts, etc.?
Please post some pictures of your projects whenever you get to them!
Site to give you a few ideas.http://www.craftandfabriclinks.com/p...ndle_wrap.htmlhttp://rhythmofthehome.com/archives/...sew-rag-dolls/
I buy a lot of items from Factory Direct Crafts. They have great prices.
Chick with a gun.
I use the black meat trays to make home made block stamps. Linner from bacon or even cereal wax paper such will do a stencil

Second: is there any evidence of this ritual abuse? Did she ever provide names of people involved, specific places and buildings involved, description of the buildings and the rituals? I guess that when scrutiny is applied to this, the whole story breaks down like a house of cards.

Good comments, HotNostril and ddt.
I'd just add that Jonathan is not helping his girlfriend by putting up with such behaviour and respecting the woman's therapist. He's just making her worse. He's actually in a prime position to notice and point out all the holes in her story but he's wilfully blind to it.

Among the disturbing points in Jonathan's note (and there are many) I'm particularly struck by his "complicit towards abusers" comment. It's a tried-an-true tactic, of course: believe my unverified, impossible-on-many-levels story of SRA verbatim, or be accused of being on the side of pedophiles. The obvious counter is that the whole SRA community -- such as it is -- is complicit in spreading ignorance and fear and promoting junk "science."
And although SRA hysteria no longer appears as capable of sending innocent people to jail; I sometimes wonder if a real pedophile or two might escape justice some day by presenting the victim's testimony as just another crazy made-up Satan story. I fear the more SRA people invent and promote such clearly impossible fantasies, the more the taint of reasonable doubt may creep into the minds of potential jurors when it comes to assessing the veracity of any abuse claim based primarily on the victim's word.

Holy Ninth Circle Batman!!!
Annett fabricated this story (found at Childabuserecovery dot com) from the fictitious Brussels office of the ITCCS (really located in his attic in Nanaimo, B.C.):
This is one in a series of articles taken from eyewitness testimony before the International Common Law Court of Justice in Brussels. Five international judges are examining evidence of child rape, torture, murder and kidnapping allegedly done by global elite members of the Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult network. Regular Ninth Circle child sacrifices were said to take place in the catacombs of Catholic Cathedrals, the Vatican, on private estates and groves and government military bases in Belgium, Holland, Spain, Australia, Ireland, France, England and the US. At least 34 child mass grave sites were identified in Ireland, Spain and Canada and refused excavation by the respective governments, Crown of England and Catholic Church. Named as present in Ninth Circle activities were Pope Francis, former Pope Ratzinger;Anglican, United Church of Canada and Catholic Church officials including Cardinals; members of European royalty including Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip; officials of the Canadian, Australian, UK and US military and governments including the USAs CIA, plus prominent government ministers, judges, politicians and businessmen from the US, Belgium, Holland, Canada, Australia, France, Ireland and the UK.
Teens were drugged, stripped naked, raped, hunted down in the woods and killed by European royals according to this weeks latest eyewitness to testify before the International Common Law Court of Justice in Brussels. The woman was the fourth eyewitness to give accounts about these human hunting parties of the global elite Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult network. A former member of the Netherlands criminal drug syndicate known as Octopus testified that victims were obtained for these human hunting parties from juvenile detention centers in Belgium and Holland.
In 2004 I was an involuntary witness to torture, rape and murder sessions of drugged children performed for a group of high ranked people of the Netherlands stated a woman. I was taken to a hunting party in Belgium close to Brussels where I saw two boys and a girl ages 14 to 16, hunted and killed by global elites. The human hunting party was heavily guarded by the Netherlands Royal Guards. I was told that King Albert of Belgium was present.
Four eyewitnesses confirmed that as children and youths they were forced to attend human hunting parties where they and other children were raped, with some killed, and deceased boys penises were cut off. Allegedly there was a Dutch countryside palace where boys penises were displayed like trophies on a wall. Some hunting parties were hosted on the grounds of Belgium Queen Beatrixs Palace.
Dutch therapist Toos Nijenhuis claimed that as a four year-old she was forced to witness murders of children that involved former Pope Ratzinger, a Dutch Catholic Cardinal, plus the father of Netherlands Belgium Queen Beatrix and Bilderberger Founder, Dutch Crown Prince Alfrink Bernhard. I saw the former Pope Joseph Ratzinger murder a little girl″ another witness confirmed. It was at a French chateau in the fall of 1987. It was ugly, horrible and didnt happen just once. Ratzinger and Bernhard were some of the more prominent men who took part.
In Ireland, Spain and Canada 34 child mass grave sites were discovered and appeared linked to Ninth Circle activities. The largest was the Mohawk Indian Residential School in Brantford Ontario where child remains were identified in 2008 before the Catholic Church, Canadian government and English Crown shut down the dig by professional archeologists. The 2013 ICLCJ Court had found Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip guilty for the Oct. 10 1964 disappearance of ten native children from the Catholic residential school in Kamloops British Columbia. In the first two weeks of the 2014 court witnesses identified Dutch and Belgian royal participants in the rape and killing of Mohawk children and newborns. Named were Bernhard and King Hendrick, consort to Queen Wilhelmina of Holland.
Alleged to be present during the human hunting parties were the late Prince Johan Friso and his wife Mabel Wisse Smit, former ministers, the top man of the Dutch army, the under secretary of the Raad Van State in the Netherlands, the Vice-Roy next to Queen Beatrix and other global business and political leaders including some from the US. Surely the present King Willem Alexander and King Filip and their wives know about this abuse and murder of children said one eyewitness.They do nothing about it and likely are the ones to stop investigations and prosecutions.
In January 2014 the brother of the king of Holland Prince Johan Friso passed away in a coma after these three Dutch-language websites shown here reached the internet. The websites revealed that Friso was at the human hunting and killing parties.The story came on the internet after years of trying to move the policy and justice department in the Netherlands to act against the criminals, an eyewitness said. Nobody did anything to stop these criminals, probably because Queen Beatrix and King Albert likely interfered with the investigations.
Human hunting parties were said to take place on the grounds of Belgium Queen Beatrixs Palace in the Netherlands. Two witnesses have named former Pope Joseph Ratzinger and Queen Beatrixs father the deceased Prince Alfrink Bernhard, as being present at child sacrifices. Both were said to be Nazi sympathizers.
The ICLCJ Court received a collection of Jesuit archival records about a child sacrificial cult known as the Knights of Darkness. In 1933 the Knights were established by the Catholic Jesuits and Nazi Waffen S.S. Division. The records showed Ratzinger was identified as a member of the Knights while working as an S.S. Chaplains assistant at the Ravensbruck Concentration Camp in Germany. The records also stated that Ratzinger participated in child sacrificial rites using kidnapped children from the camps or political prisoners.
Another court document called the Magisterial Privilege indicated child sacrifice was a regular occurrence at the Vatican. At the tender age of 12 Svali of San Diego County California claimed she was brought to catacombs beneath the Vatican to witness the sacrifice of a three year-old drugged boy. In this video her interviewer said that 24 years prior a Maria told him she witnessed another satanic child sacrifice rite in the same Vatican Catacombs.
Last week an Irish police investigator reported to the ICLCJ Court that the close to 800 babies buried in a Catholic Nuns septic tank were dismembered, decapitated and in bits and pieces signs that they could have been murdered in Satanic child sacrifice rites. In the last two months the ICLCJ Court has heard these heart-wrenching testimonies about the rape, torture and murder of children as recently as 2010 by Catholic leaders, European royal family members and other global elites. Murder sites of the Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult were said to be in the catacombs of Catholic Cathedrals including the Vatican and on private estates, military establishments and groves in Belgium, Holland, Spain, Australia, France, England and the US.
The ICLCJ Court has been overwhelmed with newly discovered evidence and a number of new witnesses coming forward to testify about Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult activities. They have uncovered Ninth Circle Satanic Cult member possible involvement in international child sacrifice, kidnapping, exploitation and drug rings. The five international judges and 27 jury members were expected to remain in session for at least a year due to the complexity of the cases.
Amnesty has been offered to citizens or employees of the Vatican, Crown of England, churches or governments willing to give sworn testimony or evidence that leads to the prosecution of these global elites suspected of committing crimes. Rewards up to 10,000 euros or around 13,660 dollars was available through the ICLCJ court.
The ICLCJ Court had over 450 Common Law Peace Officers in 13 countries, with 51 local chartered groups operating. Local organizing funds were available for common law groups that applied through the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State.

WOW!! This reminds me the fantasies of the Early Modern Witch Hunters who were convinced that there was a vast, immensely powerful Satanic Anti-Church that existed in all levels of Society and governed a vast network of covens. All for the purpose of destroying society. They engaged in human sacrifice and breeding babies for sacrifice along with Satan worship.
This merely goes to show just how closely the modern SRA scare replicated the old Witchcraze.

And the report was already wrong in the first place. Kevin Annett is so far beyond wrong it's incredible.
(For those not aware: It was a crypt (not a septic tank), the children were buried with care (not tossed in), and they died of disease as was typical in those days everywhere.)

All week I hovered around 188. Yesterday when I weighed in for my team I was at 189.6 of course! And today I just weighed in to check, and I was at 188 on the nose. Wow! I couldn't get that number YESTERDAY??? LOL
Oh well /rant.
Finally busted into the 180s this week. I am sure doing the shred had a lot to do with it and finally my plateau is in the rearview mirror. Just gotta keep going. I can't wait to do some update pics at the end of the month so I can see my progress better. Right now I FEEL fatter than when I started, how does that work?? I will tell you how: my boobs have shrunk and my belly seems to not be shrinking. The one think I liked about me is going away and the things I hate are sticking around (belly and thighs!!!) UGH so I haven't been feeling like my progress actually shows even though something is happening......oh well. Gotta keep on trucking!
OK I need to kick it in gear. I am going to start a mini fast break today and start up the 30 day shred again and actually try to make it through the 30 days. I have just got to kick something in gear.
Who's with me??!?
OK so September has not been my month, but as promised I will be posting progress photos each month to keep myself accountable. I have been excercising a lot better over the last three weeks, and for the majority of days I am within my calorie range, but I can't seem to lose much AT ALL. I have stayed between 196 and 193 this month and keep fluctuating back and forth but no real loss to be shown. UGH! So on to the horrible photos from today. Please don't look at my hair. I am about to work out and didn't see a point in making it all pretty LOL!!!
Thanks for looking and stay tuned for October. It has to be better??? RIGHT??!?!?
Take that bad food day! Today is a new day! YEAH!

No-Stress Holiday Travel with Kids
Before You Go
Make it a family affair. Don't wait until the last minute to get your kids psyched for your holiday journey. If you involve them in the planning process, they're likely to be more invested in the trip. Give them little tasks so they'll feel like they're contributing: Have your oldest child help you look on the Internet to find a movie theater near Aunt Judy's house, or let your toddler pick out the books he wants to take along for the car ride.
Clue kids in. Once you've nailed down the details, tell everyone exactly what you've got planned. Kids feel more secure when they know what to expect each day. Warn little ones about potentially scary situations, like the security check at airports. "Explain that the security machine will take a picture of her teddy but that it will be waiting for her safely on the other side," says Ogintz. If it's her first flight, prepare her by reading simple picture books, such as Going on a Plane, by Anne Civardi.
Time your travel. If you can, pad your schedule with a few extra vacation days so you've got some wiggle room in case of bad weather, illness, or airline delays. This will also allow you to avoid the peak travel days just before (and after) Christmas and New Year's. "If you're flying, try to book nonstop so you don't end up stuck in a random city because of a snowstorm," says Ogintz. For road trips, log on to Google Maps (maps.google.com) to find the best route and to avoid road closures.
Check on childproofing. Yes, Grandma's house is a loving, warm place to gather for the holidays, but it might not be the safest one for little kids. Talk to her about storing medications, cleaning products, and other hazards out of reach. If you're staying at a hotel, call in advance to ask whether the staff will childproof the room for you. Or take along a travel childproofing kit or a roll of duct tape to cover outlets, fasten back window curtains and cords, and secure bathroom cabinets.
Pack in plastic. Keep your suitcases organized by separating clothing in clear zip-top bags and labeling them with names and contents, such as Henry's underwear and Katie's dresses. This makes it easier to quickly find what you need, and you can store dirty clothing in them on the way back. If you expect to be bringing back more than you started with, stash an extra nylon duffle in your suitcase so you'll be able to haul your loot home.
Bring snacks. Have a supply of good travel foods (Cheerios, string cheese, bananas) with you at all times. If your child doesn't like the food on the plane or at a party, snacks are a great way to head off a tantrum from a hungry toddler. Water is the best on-the-go beverage because kids only drink as much as they need, which will cut down on emergency bathroom breaks, says Vicki Lansky, author of Trouble-Free Travel with Children.

Norman named in 'Top 10 cheapest to live in' list by business publisher
Updated On: Sep 05 2013 05:45:41 PM CDT
A new article names Norman, Oklahoma as top 10 cheapest cities to live in.
Kiplinger, a business publisher, reported that Norman has a low unemployment rate, low living expenses, and high incomes. Housing and healthcare is affordable and apartment rents are less than Oklahoma's City average of $747. Kiplinger also says doctor's visits in Norman are 21 percent less than the state capitol.
Norman Chamber of Commerce CEO John Woods says he's not surprised by the report. He says Norman is a city with education, bringing in a younger population requiring advances.
Kiplinger reports the cost of living in Norman is 14.4 percent less than the national average.

Windows will not let me delete some empty folders...
Citing that I do not have the correct privileges to do so, Windows [7] is telling me that it/I cannot delete some file folders that I do not have a need for.
I have tried running Windows Explorer as Administrator, but this does not help. How do I elevate myself to have the proprer priveleges to delete these? I'm not averse to using the command prompt, if that is the only means, but I'd rather know how to have control over my own system and do it through Windows.
Thanks for any help!

There were 2 files that I wanted to get rid of.
1 was a Camtasia Studio folder which was empty. The take ownership ran on it, but it would still not delete. The system said that the folder was not there, even though I could still see it. I simply *moved* it to my 2 Terabyte Drive and that seems to have gotten rid of it.
The other was a 'Recipes' folder which was also empty. After I took ownership of it, I was able to delete it.

ABC News Polling Unit
The "American Century" was sooo last century, as many Americans see it.
Around half the public thinks the United States will play a smaller role in world affairs and the world economy in the 21st Century than it did in the 20th. And the public divides about evenly in this ABC News/Washington Post poll on whether the 21st will be more of another American Century – or, rather, a Chinese one.
When it comes to dominance in world affairs, the public divides by a close 43-38 percent on whether it'll be a Chinese or an American Century ahead. (Fifteen percent volunteer that it'll be a mix of the two, or someone else's.) In terms of economic clout it's an even closer split: 41 percent expect a Chinese Century, 40 percent an American one.
Significant numbers – but not majorities – see a diminished role for the United States in economic and global affairs as a downer; 43 and 39 percent, respectively, say this would be a bad thing. As many, though, say it would be a neutral development, and some – 15 and 19 percent, respectively – even see it as a positive.
Time co-founder Henry Luce is credited with coining the phrase "American Century" in a 1941 essay, shortly before the country entered World War II, as he argued against isolationism. Fast-forward seven decades and tectonic shifts in global economics raise questions about the future of America's role on the world stage.
Fifty-three percent in this poll foresee a smaller U.S. economic role this century than last, vs. 26 percent larger and 18 percent about the same. In world affairs, 46 percent see a smaller U.S. role, vs. 32 percent larger and 19 percent about the same. (In a Gallup poll a year ago, 40 percent said China already was the world's leading economic power vs. 33 percent for the United States – a sharp reversal from May 2000, when 65 percent picked the United States and just 10 percent China.)
Among groups, the most consistent differences are by education: College graduates are more apt than those without a degree to see a shrinking U.S. role in world affairs and the global economy, and to view the 21st as more likely a Chinese than American Century in both realms. Men are at least a little more likely than women also to see things that way. And Republicans are more dour in some of these views, perhaps not as much reflecting their views of the entire century ahead, but their lower confidence in the current administration in Washington.

Susan Howe's recuperation of Emily Dickinson's visual prosody marks a pivot point in American poetics, insofar as it calls attention to the long effaced but paradigmatically American enterprise of self-invention that Dickinson's practice depicts. And in depicting her work, the picture is the work, hence the holograph images that for the most part replace block quotes in texts like Howe's My Emily Dickinson and the essay from which I'll cull this epigraph, "These Flames and Generosities of the Heart."
This space is the poem's space. Letters are sounds we see. Sounds leap to the eye. Word lists, crosses, blanks, and ruptured stanzas are points of contact and displacement. Line breaks and visual contrapuntal stresses represent an athematic compositional intention.
Howe, and by extension Dickinson, are reference points for discussing the work of Mark Booth, printmaker by training, a painter, who also works in sound and performance, but whose practice is in some sense reducible to writing.
"Future Tense," a program hosted on Radio National by the Australian Broadcasting Company, features an exploration of MOOCs — a half-hour program that includes a discussion of one course, namely ModPo. For "Future Tense" program notes, go here. To listen to the recording of the broadcast directly (and to download it), go here.
A week before the 10-week ModPo course begins (current enrollment, as of this moment: 28,000 people worldwide) several thousand of those in the course are already talking in a Facebook group and on Twitter. We were discussing a poem by Emily Dickinson. People began saying things about the poem that in all my years of reading and teaching it I hadn't thought of. Then I posted this, above (apologies for the enthusiasm).
Rae Armantrout reads and briefly discusses Emily Dickinson's "My Life had stood — a Loaded Gun": MP3.
When Al Filreis and Charles Bernstein founded PennSound in 2003, one of their impetuses was purely pedagogical. They wanted to make a digital audio archive of free, downloadable files of poets reading their own work and of discussions about poetics available to teachers and learners looking to parse out poetic lineages and differences.As Al Filreis explains in this 2007 podcast, PennSound is an archive for those seeking to make aesthetic connections between different poetic trends: a site of convergence for the reader (in this case, listener) and the poetic tradition. This makes PennSound a particularly useful resourse for teachers who are looking to demonstrate to their students the relationships between contemporary poetry and earlier poetic movements.
On an evening when seven people each talked for seven minutes about some aspect of isolation, I chose to speak about a well known yet nonetheless difficult poem by Emily Dickinson.
While I said I would write about nomadic poetry architectures, I got caught up reading some books I need to return to the library. One of them is Dan Beachy-Quick's This Nest, Swift Passerine, a book-length meditation on love, sparrows, sight, orb spiders, language, self and other, in the transcendentalist tradition Beachy-Quick has made so particularly his own. It is also a thorough demonstration of poetic intertextuality as nesting. (In his previous collection, Mulberry, Beachy-Quick imagines writing poetry as a silkworm's work, "the weaving back and forth, as the head moves almost unnoticeably left to right and right to left as one reads, of those leaves I had devoured, those pages I read.") Into his own looping syntax, the poet weaves "Themes" from Charles C. Abbott, Martin Buber, Emily Dickinson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Meister Eckhart, Ronald Johnson, Edward Taylor, Henry David Thoreau, Leo Tolstoy, Dorothy Wordsworth, amongst others.
Each blank page a month Arctic this every January The sparrows minus zero In the leafless tree do not
Jennifer Scappettone, Marcella Durand and Jessica Lowenthal joined Al Filreis for a discussion of Susan Howe's understanding of a crucial and extraordinarily complex poem by Emily Dickinson--the one that begins "My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun." My Life had stood--a Loaded Gun--In Corners--till a DayThe Owner passed--identified--And carried Me away--And now We roam in Sovereign Woods--And now We hunt the Doe--And every time I speak for Him--The Mountains straight reply--And do I smile, such cordial lightUpon the Valley glow--It is as a Vesuvian faceHad let its pleasure through--And when at Night--Our good Day done--I guard My Master's Head--'Tis better than the Eider-Duck'sDeep Pillow--to have shared--To foe of His--I'm deadly foe--None stir the second time--On whom I lay a Yellow Eye--Or an emphatic Thumb--Though I than He--may longer liveHe longer must--than I--For I have but the power to kill,Without--the power to die-- Attempts to read and understand the poem form a central analytical narrative, or, one is tempted to say, a viscerum in and through Susan Howe's book My Emily Dickinson. Our group not only took a cue from Howe's sense of the poem's centrality; we used the recording of Howe's reading of the poem--and several passages from her book--as our basis and starting point. The recording comes from Charles Bernstein's interview with Howe for his LineBreak series; the entire series is available through PennSound.Jen Scappettone's comments help us contemplate Howe's working out Dickinson's sense of the way war enters the details of domestic existence. Al presents the extended conceit (the woman is to the man as a gun is to its hunter-owner) and then the four proceed--immediately--to complicate it, aptly. The gendering, Marcella and Jessica remind us, is not at all straightforward. Among the many questions pondered here: How do we know for certain that the gun is gendered female? Dickinson offered several variant words. One of these is "art," which might have replaced "power." "For 'art' you need an artist," Marcella notes, "the creative power. Can the gun be the artist? Do artists extend power? What was the role of the artist or writer in America?" We listen to Howe (reading from her book) say, "When I love a thing, I want it and I try to get it." Sounds to us, at least partly, like a predatory version of the subject-object dynamic. Jen adds: "Love brings the owner and the gun together, but also the predator and the prey." Jessica speaks surely for all of us at PoemTalk when she says, in her final word, that she's glad to return to this crucial poem over and over.

My boat buying experience
All good questions and I only have second hand answers at this point for some of them. With the keel down the draft is close to 6'. The keel is lead and weighs close to 4,000 lbs. Here is a picture from inside the cabin partition showing the lifting lines.
There is also a hydraulic cylinder, attached to these lines, that prevents the keel from just dropping too quickly.
This is some heafty engineering only matched by the lifting rudder which is also lead and adjusts from 3'6" down to the shallow draft of 1'10" when up.
The prop has its own skeg
and this helps in steering the boat when motoring and the keel is in the up position. With the keel up I assume there will be lots of lee way, but the mass of the keel is still pretty low in the boat and acts like ballast, so I have been told that it is not really tender (healing) at all.
The sea trial should prove most interesting and is coming up next week. I did contact both the original owner, who had her designed and sailed her extensively, as well as the builder about these very issues and the responses I received where that they both wished they still had this boat! Note: there where only 7 of these boats made from the late 1980's to early 90's. This one is number 5. One of the earlier 'Clearwaters' has circumnavigated the globe. They took 7 years to do it, must have been one great trip.
I will keep you in mind when I am considering making my trip. Do you have experience through Hell's gate down to Jersey?
(I have been reading this forum for over a year and I still cannot recall what people use for standard abbreviations for their handles),
Thanks, my intention is to sail her, but I thought people might be interested in knowing the cost of trucking a boat this size 500 miles. It was less than I thought given the cost of diesel.
