The most profound thing I have ever read. Thank you Whitley.
Hate is often wasted on the young.
I spent the Labor Day weekend at an annual meeting of a group of people who have dedicated themselves to living in love and light, people with truly open hearts. For a weekend every year, the outside world vanishes as a few dozen people live as people were intended to live. This is very difficult to describe to someone who has not experienced it; it is almost a fugue state, but I hesitate to use that term because it has a negative connotation. But for a few days we were able to Have Joy.
In the next couple of generations, those whose hearts are not open will fall away and merge with the dust of history; the loving and joyful will inherit the Earth.
A sense of peace and inner focus filled me as I read your statement of awareness. I gasped as a fellow traveller has made significant progress on the road of ascendent being. I endeavor to follow your example.
Thank you for enduring your tribulations.
All of us can resist, with each moment and with each breath...through joy..
Hi Whitley, new journal entries like this by you are among the few things that I look forward to most, I mean that without hyperbole.
Reference to The Key here is particularly strong.
Reading it sparked in me the thought to share something with you that I've been meaning to share for almost 9 months.
It's nothing much, but back in mid January I made the trek alone from MN to Washington DC to essentially participate in Occupy protest there. And to my shock I found there on a sole free standing dry erase board centrally located within a large encampment of tents; just a couple blocks from the White House, someone had written, "Want to know the truth about the world? Read THE KEY: A TRUE ENCOUNTER by Whitley Streiber (sic)". It was the only such book or media recommendation written.
I don't know who wrote the recommendation or how long it had been there, I was only around for a couple nights basically to protest in the streets (I didn't want to cause my family worry and so I went in secret, also an extended vacation would provoke questioning at work which I wanted to avoid), but I can vouch it remained on the board for the time I was there.
I snapped a picture and video recorded it to share with you right after wandering upon it to my shock around 9 PM on the night of January 16th 2012. Conditions were rain and just under 40° F.
The idea of "good aliens" and "bad aliens" is, I agree, rather absurd. So is the idea of "good people" and "bad people." Very few people in the history of the world have done things because they felt they needed to do the wrong thing. While there are exceptions, generally by the emotionally damaged and mentally ill, the majority of people do what they do because they think that it is the "right" thing to do. Sadly, most people live in a vast complex of misconceptions based on the lies told to us by the media, the government, many religious institutions, and every other cultural entity that thinks it knows what is best for the human race and tries to force us into their own model of how the world should be, instead of letting us live in the freedom to pursue our own lives that is the right of every being.
The recent period of time you've written about seems to roughly correspond with when you said you started using the Earthing mat (in June was it?) Do you think there's much relation to that? (I guess I'm asking about your instinct about it, since there's no way to know for sure.)
And on that subject, I've been meaning to go back and read the part of The Key that talks about the quantum field that exists around the body, and having something to do with electron spin. Because I'm wondering if the effect being observed from Earthing has something to so with bringing the body's electrical characteristics into alignment with the Earth's. So to go back to my original question above, could this be a significant part of the "change of being" you're experiencing? A sort of alignment of your quantum skin?
I have my earthing mat on order, and have been trying to spend more time outdoors barefoot, but it's too early to tell anything from my own experiences.
I have tried just sitting down barefoot on the ground...direct to ground. Yes it works.
I remember a story about some Okinawans and some Japanese my wife told me. They would bury their bodies completely in sand up to the neck with wonderful effects. Very similar. That must be why I always felt so good after walking on the beach...energized. I have been experiencing very similar things that Whitley has written about in this series.
As an Architect, I am intrigued and would love to hear more of your thoughts and ideas on the formulation of spaces and buildings for the advancement of consciousness.
It is one of the things that I seek to expand my knowledge of and feel that this could be my mission or my gift. I always try to add a little sacred geometry to a building but feel that with the knowledge, not necessarily academic, more awareness, that we could achieve this. I firmly believe that the early gothic principles were based on Templar knowledge received on journeys in the temple catacombs.The late Lawrence Gardner and Graham Hancock have also been great inspirations in this quest
Whitley: Sin is the sign of youth. If we were truly ancient, we would see beyond sin and avoid it altogether.
As always, thank you for generous sharing of your feelings, experiences ~ all your great work ~ with us.
Many blessings, love ~ and Godspeed ~

Dear Whitley - This is such a profoundly exquisite and insightful journal entry. It moved me to many places within my soul and around the wheel of life, including moments of heartbreak, especially about the lady at the pond. Peace to both of you.
The whole idea of ascension and getting off this 'wheel of life" is critical I believe... Beautiful, Thanks!
Whitley, it's clear why the visitors chose you......because you can articulate that complexity!
I don't post often but thanks for all you do.
Whitley, I am a constant companion and great friend of yours, although you have not met me - I thank you for your gift of words and open insight. I have been here since dial-up, my Communion letter didn't make it to you and dear Anne. I burnt it with the book in a bon fire at Whidbey Island in 1988 - my memories too vivid for my personal journey at the time. I am absourbing The Key, listening to the lessons in the subs. and I weep (Geez - no kidding...I'm frigging doing it now!) - my compassion for our journey and I mean "OUR" (all of us) is edging (consuming) and most of all grand. Please know the importance of the message. It is spreading and gaining all around us.
My last sentance dosen't really speak to my compassion and love for your journey, the wonder and courage. Your endurance toward truth. My words are a speck of my meaning - I wish I could convey more (more better:), ha!). THANK YOU for the meditations - they have been crutial - as I stuggle the balance better here (hear) and there (everywhere).
Only Kindness Matters,
Whitley: When I meant "ancient", I meant seeing beyond time as the visitors and others like them do and beyond our future actions before we actually supposedly made them fact. If we can see the trap before us, then we can avoid it. Should you indulge in arrogance before you see it, that's your decision.
Aloha Whitley,
It's a heart warming article you've written and I send my deep gratitude for your insights. I also appreciate the comments your subscribers contribute & I thank everyone here for your warm, considerate and thoughtful writing.
There are some authors whose books I would like to recommend because their subjects follow along recent subjects and comments. The first is Dr. Ibrahim Karim, scientist & architect from Cairo, Egypt. His book is "Back to a Future for Mankind". He has developed the science of qualitative energy through biogeometry. The U.S. based organization that teaches his work is called Vesica Institute. The information is something that I will refrain from describing, as Dr. Karim's research and articles can do a much better job, and his credentials would fill many pages. This information will help us all to "connect the dots" in terms of where we may be headed in an extremely positive and healthy direction. He has put the Sacred back into the science of architecture, agriculture, health and ecology. I hope you all will be more than pleasantly surprised!
I also want to tell you of a humble little book called "The Secrets of Aloha", by Kahuna Harry Uhane Jim, an authentic Hawaiian initiated priest of Temple Lomilomi, who shares his knowledge in a humble way, of the traditional mysteries of Hawai'i. He is in the lineage of the namesake Uhane, which can be traced in the Kumulipu, an ancient chant of 4 thousand generations of history, that takes 3 days & 3 nights of speaking.
Each author descends from a lineage from whom contributions continue flowing out into our world. These contributions of sacred gifts, should we decide to open to them, are here to help us in countless ways. It's all very beautiful, helpful, ancient and relevant.
My own spiritual initiation into becoming a doctor of indigenous medicine began in 1987, after repetitive visitations of space craft at my home in Northern California. This is the first time I have written of this in public forum. Although I can not claim to have seen the visitors nor claim to have been taken on board their beautiful, energetically mysterious crafts, the energy the vehicles emitted was strikingly peaceful and opened my heart. My experience is something I hold close to my heart, as the feelings I had with each occurrence was like a promise being kept to me. I had known since I was a child that they would someday return to let me know they hadn't forgotten me as...family. I did not experience any type of trauma from these visits, however I have since seen other craft that are equally spiritually energetic. I hesitate to describe these experiences because I haven't read enough information to know if they are described in your books Whitley. I'm just beginning to do a little research. The one book of yours that I'm most interested in reading is 'The Key'. One day soon I will read it.
I hope you continue on your beautiful path with a great heart of Aloha.
Whitley, I wish that I could experience that kind of meditation. I'm at a not-so-good point in life right now, and it would be such a relief to feel what you feel - i.e. the universe (and beyond) in all its glory.
I'll keep pursuing... THANKS for the guidance!
Focusing your sensation on the third eye in the center of our forehead usually helps a great deal during meditation. I have seen a few images that I believed I could never see, especially one recently of one of the visitors walking down a path. I hope they don't get too frustrated with my attempts to spy on them.
I was by the lake today and it was so beautiful. I started trying to meditate but got the message to "enjoy the moment" It reminded me of Eckhart Tolle"s book "The Power of Now." A thought flashed through my mind: I remembered the last time that I was lucid dreaming. It happens very seldom but when it does the first thing I do is to try to be aware of all around me. It wasnt to wish i was someplace else. We have to be very aware of each day on this planet and try to raise the enegy just by being aware. Its important that we are aware in the present and at the same time realize that the reason we can take each breath is because of grace from above. As always, I look forward to reading about Whitley's journey as it evolves.
You're extremely good at putting abstract feelings into words.I have always struggled with this and have difficulty being understood on such matters.
On climate change,what is the actual sin?Is it that the whole thing has turned into a debate?I see the people debating it are people like Alex Jones but at the same time they are fighting the Evil that is agenda 21 that is useing the enviroment as a tool to steal our wealth off us by tax stealthes(carbon tax) and stop us from growing our own vegetables or own chickens so that if there is a real food crisis people will starve to death by design.Who are the sinners?The New World Order for useing a noble cause to destroy anyone that is not them or the ordinary man for trying to debate the cause as he can see it as a tool to tie him and his children into slavery?
I listened to the coast to coast show and heard you kick off at the guy but i felt he was debating it for that purpose.
Love is what you are.

"We've been eating this one at least twice a month -- it's very filling, relatively inexpensive to make, and produces enough leftovers for lunch the next day as well."
"I'm not sure if this recipe produces what is naturally a very mild bisque, or if the quality of our ingredients wasn't as good as it could have been, but we ended up adding 1/8 of a cup of brandy, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce and a bay leaf to liven it up a bit, extending the cooking time for thickening purposes. The potatoes soak up the fla..."
"We found tuna steaks on sale at the local market and brought them home, unsure of the best way to prepare the fish. After searching the internet for other recipes, we picked this one for its simplicity and the availability of its ingredients. We weren't disappointed!

"This casserole is almost like a lasagna with the way the sauce and tortillas are layered. Like many other reviewers have already suggested, I added some diced tomatoes to the ground meat mixture (we used turkey) and used a cheese soup in place of the cream of mushroom soup. The results were delicious."
"We made this with some potatoes to add a little extra body to the curry, and it turned out fantastic. Thanks for the excellent recipe!"
"I make this as often as my roommate will let me! The cabbage compliments the noodles so well.Thank you!"
"This is the easiest beef stroganoff recipe that I've ever come across -- and fortunately it doesn't sacrifice much flavour for simplicity! Thank you!"
"For me, it's the addition of a cup of red wine that really makes this soup. I also like how easy it is to customize if you don't have all the ingredients on hand. Thank you!"
"This worked well as a nice, light dinner for a hot summer night. Not only was it quick to prepare, but it tasted delicious as well. Thanks!"
"My first time making this, I forgot to drain the fat from the beef mixture and my potatoes ended up on the runny side -- my fault entirely.That said, it was still VERY tasty. I'll definitely be trying this recipe again."

RALEIGH The ovations grew louder Sunday night each time a successful N.C. State reliever left the mound at Doak Field.
The determined fans who returned from a 79-minute rain delay could sense the Wolfpack was about to advance to the second NCAA tournament super regional in its history.
N.C. State's relievers made sure it happened by concluding the Raleigh Regional with five scoreless innings after the delay to complete a 2-1 defeat of South Carolina. Over 11 innings in the regional, the Wolfpack's bullpen allowed just one hit and no runs.
"The thing that I really like about N.C. State and makes them as good as they are is that bullpen," said South Carolina coach Ray Tanner.
In a best-of-3 super regional that will start Friday or Saturday, N.C. State (41-20) will meet the winner of today's game between Georgia and Georgia Tech in Athens. The super regional will be in Athens if Georgia wins, but N.C. State will host if Georgia Tech wins.
The super regional winner will advance to the College World Series. N.C. State's only previous super regional appearance came in 2003. The Wolfpack's only College World Series appearance came in 1968, before the super regional format debuted.
After Reese Havens led off the bottom of the first inning with a home run, N.C. State's pitchers didn't allow another run as the Gamecocks (40-23) were held to three hits.
"South Carolina is one of the best-hitting teams in the country," said Sam Brown, who pitched 2 1/3 innings for the win. "We just went out there and got ahead of them. If you get ahead of batters, you get outs."
Jeremy Synan's fifth-inning home run tied the game before the rain delay. Brown (4-1) replaced starter Eric Surkamp after the delay and retired six straight batters.
Matt Payne's bases-loaded single in the seventh broke the tie. With runners on first and third and two out in the bottom of the seventh, Drew Taylor faced the Gamecocks' Justin Smoak.
Smoak is expected to be one of the top 10 selections in the major-league draft Thursday and was the most outstanding player of the regional. But Taylor got him to lift a towering fly ball to center field.
The Wolfpack retired the side in order in the eighth and ninth. Kyle Rutter worked two-thirds of an inning and Oregon State transfer Alex Sogard recorded the final four outs.
"We may not have scored a lot of runs, but we did what championship teams have to do," said N.C. State coach Elliott Avent. "A lot of clutch hits. Clutch plays. And obviously clutch pitching from a lot of people."

Mouse tales: don't miss Ralph's adventures in The Mouse and the Motorcycle (Unabridged) and Ralph S. Mouse (Unabridged).
©1970 Beverly Cleary; (P)2007 HarperCollins Publishers
"A funny story." (School Library Journal)
"Cleary again successfully combines fantasy and reality." (Booklist)
My kids were quiet and didn't make me crazy during a long road trip. They were very interested.
B.D. Wong put great energy into reading this story and made the characters come to life.
"I don't like the format-- no backtrack / rewind"
Great story for kids to listen to in the car
B.D. Wong's performance was excellent.
I bought the next book in the series.
The only problem that I had with this purchased download was that the recording was not segmented into chapters. Instead, it was just one long audio file. I could not backtrack / rewind to the previous chapter. I saved it onto iTunes, transferred it to an iPod, and then played it in the car (2011 Toyota Corolla). When I hit the backtrack / rewind button, the recording skipped back to the very beginning, no matter where it was in the story. So, if we did not hear a part of it, or we had to pause for a moment, we had no option to rewind it to the beginning of the current chapter. The only option was to start completely over at the beginning.

Daily entries from the 17th century London diary
East India co. Royal Oak 400 tons 1 trip 1663 then ?
The Royal Oak: was used by RN: Royal Navy 1664 on: long line of historic entries.
The Royal Oak--Royalists rejoice! May 29th is Oak Apple Day
the name is used for many purposes including Pubs.
the story:
then navy song:
Come, cheer up, my lads, 'tis to glory we steer,
To add something more to this wonderful year;
To honour we call you, not press you like slaves,
For who are as free as the sons of the waves
The Royal Oak.
Probably a merchantman as NAM Rodger in his "The Command of the Ocean" gives three Royal Oaks.
One launched in 1664 was burnt by fireships of De Ruyter, along with the Royal James and the Loyal London. The others after the Diary.
I just have been given a wall clock with the name "THE ROYAL OAK" and "PAIGNTON".
Is there anyone to tell me more about this clock, its age?
Thank you so much
ROBUR CAROLINUM, the Royal Oak, or King Charles's Oak; or, not to omit so notable a name, the Carolina Oak, as one of the English astronomers calls it. One of the constellations of the southern hemisphere. This is not one of the old forty-eight, but has been since devised by the modern astronomers to take in some of the unformed stars of that hemisphere.
The figure, understood by this constellation, is that of the oak in which King Charles II. was, while his enemies were in pursuit of him; and this the modern astronomers have raised up into the heavens, as the early authors, in the same study, did the Scorpion that killed Orion, or the monster that was to have devoured the unfortunate Andromeda.
---Urania: Or, a Compleat View of the Heavens. J. Hill, 1754.
Upon the defeat at Worcester, Charles and [Major Careless] eluded the search of Cromwell's emissaries, by concealing themselves in an oak, in Boscobel-wood, on the borders of Staffordshire.—-After the Restoration, the oak seemed to be held in as great veneration by the English, as it ever was among the ancients. Oak-leaves were worn on the 29th of May, by people of all ranks: the very horses were dressed with boughs, and every tower was crowned with branches of oak. The populace regaled themselves in oaken bowers, and the sign of the Royal Oak was erected in almost every town and village in the kingdom. The people went in pilgrimages to the tree itself: a great part of it was cut away, and converted into tobacco-stoppers, hafts of knives, and other memorials; and many plants were propagated from its acorns. The remains of this tree are enclosed with a brick wall, the inside of which is covered with laurel.
---A Biographical History of England. J. Granger, 1769.

i am new to shotguns and just got a Remington express 12 gauge magnum. it is the self defense edition with a 18 in barrel and holds 7 rounds. the gun was a gift but i am more into hunting and trap shooting. i know i need a longer barrel was aiming at a 28in. i want a modified choke but when im looking at new barrels they same remchoke. does that mean i can change them out to whatever choke i want because my barrel does not have threads in it. i found this site and was looking at the third one up from the bottem would that be the correct one?Cabela's -- Remington 870 Replacement Shotgun Barrels

Yep- changeable choke. RemChoke Tubes & Wrenches
BTW, many of my old Mossberg shotguns had a variable choke- you actually turned the outer portion to change choke. We used to refer to them as "Dial a Duck".
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
1st, Welcome!!
Yes, the barrel you're looking at has threads so that you can
change choke tubes making your gun more versitile.
Most likely the barrel on your 870 is an "Improved Cylinder" (IC) style.
On defense shotguns chokes aren't really necessary, because personal defense doesn't allow the shot to spread (close quarters).
BTW, that barrel is a great choice.
Wow!! A Shotgun as a gift...I wish someone thought that much about me.
thank you guys for the help. but since it was a home defense gun it came with the magazine extension would it be better to buy all the parts; spring, retainer, cap to take the extension off since it will be used for mostly hunting and trap or should i just leave it on there. i only ask because it adds more weight and buying a new barrel will add even more weight
Your questions are very good questions...
In Trap Shooting your shotgun may be front heavy w/ the extension
and in some hunting scenerios you're only allowed to carry 3 shots
loaded. On standard Rem 870's there's a plug in the magazine only allowing
3 shots to be loaded.
Most Trap shooters use an over & under style 12ga. shotgun.
ok well i am ordering all the parts for the regular sized magazine with the plug so i can hunt and not get in trouble for having more than 3 rounds. this is my first firearm and i love it. thanks for all the answers
now last question when a barrel says its blue or blued is that just a finish or is it actually blue
It means the finish is Blue Steel.
One of my least favorite finishes, because of the maintenance involved.
On blue steel a simple finger print can start a rust spot.
An Express has a matte finish, so you will need a matte finish for it to match.
What could have happened... did.

Buy to Open FEB 100 Calls @ .06 and .08
Sell to Open Feb 95 Calls @ .28 and .26
Net Credit .20
This helps balance the IWO condor some, but we are still not filled on some of the puts. Using a 20 lot as a standard, here's how we look now:
20 FEB 100 Calls
20 FEB 95 Calls
9 FEB 66 Puts
9 FEB 71 Puts
Total Net Credit (less commissions) $608.12
We have orders in to fill the remaining 11 units and may have to wait for a nice down day for a fill.
We placed other orders for the day but did not get filled.
I am often asked how I hunt for new set ups, options, spreads, futures, stocks, etc.
Options consist of intrinsic value (difference between the strike price and the price of the underlying), and time value. Remember, we sell TIME premium and buy INTRINSIC premium. Expressed another way, we sell volatility.
One of the ways we take in larger than average premiums is by tracking Volatility Events, using proprietary systems. These systems largely automate the process. We used to do it by hand and that works too.
We target expensive stocks that have just exhibited extreme volatility. The increase in volatility juices the premiums, giving us a perfect time to sell strike prices that will most probably never see the light of day. When the Volatility Event passes, such as during and after earnings, the underlying will likely calm down and drain all that juicy volatility premium right into our trading accounts.
Another type of Volatility Event is when a perfectly good company misses analysts estimates and disappoints the whisper crowd, probably for the first time, and even though earnings are up, volume is up, the stock gets sliced and diced. This demonstrates how much emotion and expectation plays in stock movement.
Extreme emotion means extreme premiums in the options market…premium we will be collecting to fatten our trading accounts.
Friday night I will talk about how to be CALM, COOL and COLLECTING and in these very volatile markets.
Be Blessed

Bernat Soft Boucle Yarn
Gifted By: Bernat
Reviewed by the editors of AllFreeCrochet
This skein of Bernat Soft Boucle Yarn in Teal Twist is one of the most beautiful colors I have ever seen. The first time I laid on eyes on it I knew something amazing can be made out of it. Using only four or five skeins (depending on what size you are) you can make a crochet pullover to wear during the fall and winter months or you can crochet a fabulous afghan.
Bernat Soft Boucle is a really soft and bulky yarn that you would love to wrap yourself in. Some yarns can be itchy and bothersome, but this one is nice and smooth and it will keep you warm; it is made of 97% acrylic and 3% polyester. Each ball of this yarn is 5 ounces in net weight. The variegated colors in this yarn make the pattern change colors without you having to switch balls of yarn. You can machine wash and tumble dry it too. You will want to use a H/8 crochet hook to get the most out of this yarn.
You can also find some other shades of Soft Boucle Yarn at our CutRateCrafts store.

Word cops in land of Putin and Pushkin
Russian radio stations play the top khits and keep a khotline for listener requests. Housewives shop at the new mall or supermarket. They buy clothing items like shoesi and jeansi, foods products such as yogurt, potato chipsi, and maybe some drinksi.
If language is the gateway to a nation's soul, Russia's door has been ajar since the Soviet Union's collapse. The world has poured in, bringing a cacophony of English business lingo, advertising ditties, computerese, and Hollywood slang to the mother tongue of Pushkin, Tolstoy, and Chekhov. But there is hope that the Russian language - and the country's inherent values - can be saved.
"We cannot speak of having united national goals ... if we don't get our language in order," says Yury Vorotnikov.
He is one of the 45 experts tapped to form the Council for Russian Language, created last month by acting President Vladimir Putin. Their task is to stiffen the national backbone and build pride by purging what Mr. Vorotnikov calls, "distortions, neologisms and a whole stream of stupid borrowings."
Rubles are the only legal tender, but wise people keep their savings in buksi. Politicians take up speaking engagements to appeal to their elektorat. Never mind how the new generation of MTV-watching, computer-savvy teenagers expresses itself.
"Changing realities have brought many new words into the language," says Valentin Rasputin, a novelist and deputy chair of the new council. "Often there are perfectly good Russian analogues for these words, but they are pushed out by the foreign ones"
In ordaining the new Council, Mr. Putin himself became entangled in unfortunate words. He said its mission would be to zachistit, or cleanse, the Russian language. The same word is used for the security sweeps by Russian forces to root out suspected rebels in occupied Chechen villages. "That was just the standard slang of a military man," explains Mr. Vorotnikov. "He just meant we will defend our language." But he complains that even the presidential decree establishing the body says its work uses the angliscism prolongirovat rather than the perfectly good Russian verb prodlit to describe the Council's projected five-year brief.

New Game - Who will last longer?

New Game - Who will last longer?
Seeing as lately, almost every week there are at least a couple of Israeli players participating in tournaments, I thought I could start up a game to guess which player lasts longer that particular week.
Doesn't matter if it's doubles or singles, what level of tournament it is or what stage in the draw it is -
the guess should be about who will leave the tournament last
It's just experimental and I don't know if anyone will be interested...
But if you think it's not too terrible an idea, please give it a try
Also feel free to suggest rules for the game if you think they are necessary.
Added rules:
Grand slam participant is considered as the winner of her tournament if she reaches the second week. The next week she will be counted from scratch as if participating in a brand new tournament
Guessing should be made before any of the players main draw matches results are known.
In case of a tie, the round reached will be used as a tie breaker (Final over SF for example).
In case there is still a tie, singles result is preferred over doubles result.
ranking of players has changed from simple sort by "%right","number of correct guesses", to a point system that gives a slight push to a player who participated in more games. The equation for ranking points is:
"%right"+"number of total guesses"*2
the new sort is by "rank points","%right","number of correct guesses"
Options for this week:
Ofri Lankri (10k Uzbekistan, singles and doubles)
Keren Shlomo (10k Uzbekistan, singles)
Shahar Peer (Roland Garros Week I, singles and doubles)

"This is the cutest card ever!!! Such a beautiful use of Gold and Pink, which matched my daughter's party theme perfectly!!!"
"I really liked how sturdy the card is on its own. Although on my computer screen the colors are distinctively light blue, when I received this item I felt that the shade was closer to an aquamarine green. No biggie, I liked them just the same. I do wish I could have changed the "thanks" for "thank you," as I think it's slightly more formal. Having the option to change the top and bottom wording was really nice. I can honestly say I recommend this product."
"I was looking for a twins-themed thank you card to use for my baby shower gifts. This design was great b/c it is gender neutral (mine are boy/girl) and also appropriate for my couples shower (i.e., not too girly). I customized the text to say "Thank You" instead of having my name. It just seemed to make more sense. I also changed the font since the default suggestion seemed a little bit passe. The finished product is clean, simple, and cute! One nit-picky suggestion was that I would have liked the option to extend the yellow border or design to the back of the card. I did not have the perfect photo(s) to use in that space, but hated to leave it entirely blank."
"I was amazed at how fast these cards shipped to Canada. I placed my order Monday at 11 pm, and they were delivered by Thursday at 4:30 pm. Not only was the speed amazing, but the quality of the cards was great, and the colour and images matched those on my preview exactly. I'll definitely be getting my birth announcements from Tiny Prints!"
"These notecards are perfect for the guest of honor to receive as part of her baby shower gift. She can use them to send notes to her guests thanking them for the gifts they brought. They are simple, elegant single notecards with your choice of monogram letter and footer that can be personalized."

December 19, 2014
BELTON, Texas (AP) - A 59-year-old former Central Texas mayor has been sentenced to 60 years in prison after being convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child.
An attorney for ex-Nolanville Mayor Charlie Lee Stewart says Tuesday's sentence will be appealed.
Jurors in Belton on Oct. 2 convicted Stewart of repeated sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl during several incidents since 2011.
Stewart was arrested in July 2012 following an investigation that began when hospital officials contacted police about a possible abuse victim.
Stewart in May 2010 was sworn in as mayor of Nolanville, a town of about 4,300 located 60 miles north of Austin. He was ousted in September 2012 after missing three consecutive Nolanville City Council meetings.

11th ANNUAL AFRICAN DIASPORA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
When: Friday to June 20
Where: Facets Cinematheque, 1517 W. Fullerton
Admission: $9; $15 for opening night
Info: www.facets.org
Updated: July 15, 2013 2:40PM
The 11th annual African Diaspora International Film Festival showcases works by Africans and focuses on their experiences on other continents. Co-presented by Facets Cinematheque and the New York distributor ArtMattan, this weeklong series offers 14 far-flung dramas and documentaries with a distinctly global perspective.
Sponsored by the Center for Black Diaspora at DePaul University, the festival opens Friday with a 6:30 p.m. reception and a 7:30 p.m. screening of "African Independence," followed by a discussion of that pan-African documentary with director Tukufu Zuberi. This Philadelphia prof of African studies and race relations got his sociology Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, but gets PBS props as a host on "History Detectives." Special admission for the evening is $15.
Migrant sagas include "Borders" (2002) by Mostefa Djadjam. Music crosses seas in two documentaries: Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour traces the roots of jazz and slavery in "Return to Goree" (2007) by Pierre-Yves Borgeaud, and Frantz Voltaire's "Maestro Issa Saieh" profiles that artist as the importer of jazz and Cuban music to Haiti.
Born in Jamaica and raised in Brooklyn, Patrice Johnson Chevannes is the writer, director and star of "Hill and Gully" (2011), which is set in the summer of Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign as a single mom confronts issues of anger, alogia and agoraphobia.
Capsules of films available for preview follow. English subtitles accompany films not in English.
4:30 p.m., "Here We Drown Algerians": This 2011 documentary from France is a detailed recounting of the infamous Oct. 17, 1961, Paris march for Algerian independence, organized by the National Liberation Front. The title comes from an anti-Algerian graffiti on a bridge 11 days later. Director Yasmina Adi tries to tally the scores of corpses pulled from the Seine. She interviews no former police officers under the notorious chief Maurice Papon, although recordings of police radio calls add their voices, or re-creations based on transcripts. This painstaking investigation complements "Outside the Law," Rachid Bouchareb's drama about the same events (which screened at the Music Box in 2011).
2 p.m., "Seasons of a Life": A 16-year-old housemaid in Malawi is impregnated by her married employer who later adopts their son with his infertile and unaware wife. The teen goes to law school and gets custody six years later, then makes a surprising, Solomon-inspired decision. Director C. Shemu Joyah's 2008 drama suffers from weak acting and editing. Nonetheless, the finale of this feminist melodrama is quite touching.
4 p.m., "Legends of Madagascar": Haminiaina Ratovoarivony writes, directs and edits a spirited road trip story full of nationalist uplift. A thief on the run, a sociology student, an underground reggae DJ and an Indo-Pakistani runaway pack into a Mini-Cooper with an image of Che Guevera painted on the hood. From the capital they drive along a raging orange-colored river to the wild coast, encountering corrupt soldiers and a Japanese geologist preaching the gospel. This entertaining 2012 indie boasts curious scenery and social commentary. Also, 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.
6:30 p.m., "The Pirogue": Screened last year in Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival, this powerful Senegal/France/Germany co-production shows the diaspora in action along the Atlantic Ocean. In director Moussa Toure's an adaptation of a 2008 novella by Abasse Ndione, job seekers board a fishing pirogue bound for Spain. Sharing the bill is "Objection 6," a first-person perspective short by Rolando Colla about a Nigerian asylum-seeker who died during deportation from Switzerland in 2010. The Consulate General of Switzerland sponsors a pre-screening reception at 5:30 p.m. Also, 6 p.m. Wednesday.
8:30 p.m., "Tango MacBeth": Nadine M. Patterson directs this flawed project in which she appears on camera directing "Macbeth" in a Philadelphia theater. "It's a play, inside a documentary, inside a film!" touts the film's confused tagline. Rehearsals are shot in black and white and in color for no reason of interest. Behind the scenes drama includes firing a disobedient Macbeth. This does not work as a verite or a revisionist exercise, but it informs us that the word "tango" comes from the Congo.
6:30 p.m., "Mestizo": Uruguayan director Mario Handler's 1989 version of a 1942 novel by Venezuelan writer Guillermo Meneses is an outdated, overheated identity tale. A black woman and a white landowner fight over their sensitive, insecure son. He wants to be a poet or maybe a fisherman, but ultimately heads to the big city to study law. Worth overlooking, I'd say.

Welcome to Sera Jhe Health Care Center
Sera Jhe Health Care Center was established in the year 1989 by then Khen Rinpoche Lobsang Tsering with the seed money donation of Rs 50,000 from His Holiness the Dalai Lama. It was registered as a charitable trust under the Karnataka registration act XXI of 1960. It is administered by five board members headed by the Abbot of Sera Jhe Monastery as its Chairman. It consists of voluntary staffs from the Monastic community, who are experienced, dedicated and sincere to their duties. This committee runs health services, such as Clinics, Drinking Water and Environment projects.

tachypneic from excess pulmonary secretions and bronchospasm; a high temperature is atypical. If necessary, a red blood cell (RBC) count and a plasma cholinesterase level can be obtained. However, even if the cholinesterase results are within normal range, tests should be repeated in a few days to determine the change in values. (See Case Studies in Environmental Medicine: Cholinesterase-Inhibiting Pesticide Toxicity.)
Dinitrophenol is present in the insecticide Dinoseb.* Like pentachlorophenol, the pathophysiology of dinitrophenol also involves the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation; therefore, poisoning due to these two chemicals would cause similar symptoms. A thorough and careful history would be necessary to exclude the possibility of current contact with the insecticide. Being a botanist by profession and a gardener by hobby, the patient should have an awareness of insecticides he has used, especially those used over a long period of time. Another feature that distinguishes the two chemicals is the staining property. Yellow stains appear on the skin after dermal contact with dinitrophenol; no staining occurs with pentachlorophenol.
To confirm your suspicion of a PCP exposure, you could recommend that the patient's home be tested for airborne levels of PCP. Walls in a room treated with PCP release the chemical into the air, with concentrations reaching 1 nanogram per cubic meter (ng/m3) of air on the first day after treatment and 160 ng/m3 on the fourth day. PCP is no longer used in the treatment of wood products intended for use in the interior of residences, but many log cabins and older homes were built before enforcement of regulations that restricted PCP use.
Biologic tests on the patient could also confirm your suspicion. If the exposure is ongoing, urine and blood levels of PCP would be elevated (see Laboratory Tests, page 10).
If the patient has PCP poisoning, further laboratory tests could be performed to evaluate the hepatic, renal, and hematologic systems.
Phenol could easily be confused with PCP, especially because they have both been used as disinfectants and preservatives. Phenol is found in many over-the-counter and prescription medications (e.g., ointments, ear and nose drops, cold-sore lotions, mouthwashes, lozenges, gargles, toothache medications, and analgesic rubs) at concentrations of 0.5% to 1.5%. However, the action of phenol and PCP in the body is quite different. PCP primarily acts to uncouple oxidative phosphorylation with resultant hyperthermia. Phenol is primarily a caustic, causing protein denaturation and coagulation.
After initiating acute care (i.e., establishing an intravenous line, administering antibiotics, and instituting cooling treatments), the priority in treating this patient is to prevent further exposure to PCP. This can be accomplished by relocating the patient or by decreasing the level of PCP inside the log cabin. Ensuring adequate ventilation indoors would help, and application of a barrier wood finish such as clear polyurethane to the indoor surfaces of the log cabin would decrease volatilization of the PCP.

Product Description
Maximum Motorsports Black Caster/Camber Plates for 1994-2004 Mustangs.Maximum Motorsports caster/camber plates are designed to maximize the performance of your Mustang's front suspension.
The camber adjustment slots, when used in conjunction with the factory camber adjustment slots, allow for the widest range of camber adjustment possible. High grade Teflon lined spherical bearings are used at the strut top mounting point. Urethane bushings do not provide positive location, and induce bending loads on the strut that reduce the strut's lifespan and may even break the strut shaft. Plates are spaced well above the strut tower top to restore bump travel for lowered cars. High grade alloy steel allows Maximum Motorsport's plates to be thin and fatigue proof. Aluminum plates must be very thick and will un-necessarily reduce bump travel and hood clearance.
Black powdercoated finish.

Patent Granted For Asymmetrical Wafer Configurations For Rubicon Technology
Rubicon Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:RBCN), a leading provider of sapphire substrates and products to the LED, semiconductor, and optical industries, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted a patent to Rubicon entitled, "Asymmetrical Wafer Configurations and Method for Creating the Same," U.S. Patent No. 8,389,099. The patent covers the creation of visual and tactile indicators to make sapphire wafers asymmetric according to their crystalline orientation.
Sapphire wafers have specific orientation that is invisible to the naked eye. Rubicon has developed a simple, yet elegant, process to make wafers appear asymmetrical via visual or tactile inspection. This is important as LED and semiconductor manufacturers process sapphire wafers using specific crystalline orientations. The patent helps manufacturers in the LED and SoS/RFIC industries eliminate costly and unnecessary steps to determine orientation of sapphire wafers during processing, such as x-ray crystallography.
Epitaxy-ready wafers have either an orientation flat or an orientation notch, but this provides insufficient information: the wafer could be flipped front-to-back and still look the same yet be unusable in that state crystallographically. Only through repeated x-ray inspections could the manufacturer ensure that no wafers are reversed. If the wafers are made asymmetrical, operators at each stage of production can verify surface orientation quickly and economically, and will be confident that the wafers have been handled correctly.
Rubicon's patent demonstrates several different solutions for making sapphire wafers asymmetric. In one solution, a rounded corner on the orientation flat or notch allows a user to easily determine that the wafer has not been reversed. In another solution, both corners of the flat are rounded to different radii. These differences are enough to determine orientation by touch or visual inspection. The technique can be applied to other substrates including silicon, silicon oxide, aluminum nitride, germanium, silicon carbide, gallium arsenide, gallium phosphide, gallium nitride, and amorphous analogs.

Tavernello - Italy
It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.

Targeting Democratic Voters to Win in the 2014 US Senate Races
Non-presidential election years like 2014 can be tough for Democrats who have tended to do better in years when more voters turn out. Will 2014 be better? A lot is at stake for Democrats on the national level with the Republicans pushing to take over the US Senate and keep control of the House. The New York Times published a 2014 Senate Landscape Analysis on 3/2/2014 breaking down the upcoming Senate races.
Senators serve for six years. The current makeup of the US Senate is 53 Democrats and 2 Independents who vote with them, and 45 Republicans. Republicans need 6 more Senators to get the majority and flip the Senate. The New York Times analysis shows 34 continuing Democrats and 30 continuing Republicans. Of the seats up for election in 2014 they count 6 solid Democratic seats and 5 leaning Democratic. They count 12 solid Republican seats and 1 leaning Republican. And in the middle there are 12 states that could "flip" and go either way.

Koch Brothers Enter Washington State Governor's Race
The infamous Koch Brothers have entered the 2012 Washington State Governor's race. Surprise – they are supporting Republican Rob McKenna. McKenna is running against former Democratic Congressman Jay Inslee.
On Thursday, October 18, 2012, Americans for Prosperity, based in Arlington filed a C6 with the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission that they were spending $27, 985 on a radio ad supporting Rob McKenna.
Americans for Prosperity was founded by the oilmen Koch Brothers – David H. Koch and Charles G. Koch, both of Koch Industries.
Wikipedia notes that:
Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is an American conservative political advocacy group headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. AFP's stated mission is "educating citizens about economic policy and mobilizing citizens as advocates in the public policy process." The group played a major role in the Republicans' 2010 takeover of the House of Representatives, and has been called "one of the most powerful conservative organizations in electoral politics."
Sourcewatch writes that:
Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is a group fronting special interests started by oil billionaire David Koch and Richard Fink (a member of the board of directors of Koch Industries). AFP has been accused of funding astroturf operations but also has been fueling the "Tea Party" efforts. AFP's messages are in sync with those of other groups funded by the Koch Family Foundations and the Koch's other special interest groups that work against progressive or Democratic initiatives and protections for workers and the environment. Accordingly, AFP opposes labor unions, health care reform, stimulus spending, and cap-and-trade legislation, which is aimed at making industries pay for the air pollution that they create. AFP was also involved in the attacks on Obama's "green jobs" czar, Van Jones, and has crusaded against international climate talks.
So far the spending by Americans for Prosperity is small potatoes in this state but this could quickly change. Kirby Wilbur, the Washington State Republican Party Chair, was the state coordinator for Americans for Prosperity in 2010 and they successfully dumped money into last minute mailers against Democratic legislators who did not have sufficient time to respond to the last minute mailers. They are spending lots of money nationally and are doing it without disclosing their donors. This needs to change in disclosure laws.
As the Guardian in a just released articles states:
Americans for Prosperity, the Tea Party-aligned group part-funded by the billionaire Koch brothers, is building a state-of-the-art digital ground operation in Ohio and other vital battleground states to spread its anti-Obama message to voters who could decide the outcome of the presidential election.
The group hopes that by creating a local army of activists equipped with sophisticated online micro-targeting tools it will increase its impact on moderate voters, nudging them towards a staunchly conservative position opposed to President Obama's economic and healthcare policies. Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is spending tens of millions of dollars developing its local strategy, already employing more than 200 permanent staff in 32 states. …
AFP has already spent $30m so far this election cycle in opposing President Obama and other prominent Democratic candidates and their policies. It says it aims to reach up to 9 million targeted voters in crucial swing states, through the efforts of its 2 million activists.

Doug McLean - Blogmeister
Readers of this blog know that I've been following the case against Albert Gonzalez, the alleged mastermind behind the TJX breach. Last Monday came the shocking news that the Justice Department has concluded that Gonzalez also led the teams that breached both Heartland Payment Systems and Hannaford Bros. Supermarkets. Think about that for a minute, we've now traced three of the largest data breaches in history to the "vision" and leadership of a single man. Gonzalez is currently incarcerated in Brooklyn, NY where he's awaiting trial for allegedly perpetrating the comparatively modest breach of Dave & Busters Restaurants.
We've also learned that Gonzalez and his colleagues did not attack companies at random, but selected specific Fortune 500 corporations based on their business practices and assumptions about the nature and scale of data that could be stolen. Gonzalez obviously has a brilliant criminal mind and you've got to admire his abilities at some level even if you condemn his ethics.
The century is still young, but it seems pretty clear that Mr. Gonzalez can legitimately claim the title of Cybercriminal of the Century at least for now. His exploits make those Kevin Mitnick pale in comparison. He is, however, certainly not the last of his kind we'll see and it wouldn't surprise me if the latest disclosures entice even more ethically challenged hackers to the dark side.
On Friday (August 28, 2009) it was announced that Gonzalez would plead guilty to all 19 counts filed against him in the TJX breach. As a part of the deal Gonzalez will serve 15 to 25 years in prison (with very limited Internet access I'm guessing). And just to prove that crime does pay, he will be forced to relinquish $3m in cash, his condo, and a late model BMW.
As I've observed earlier, the federal prosecutors in this case took a very deliberate approach to building an iron clad case against Gonzalez. It's clear that their work paid off and I think we all owe them a debt of gratitude for taking this case seriously and sending a clear message to those that might want to follow in Gonazalez foot steps.
Now that the entire story is out and we're reaching the end of the legal actions, my only question is who is going to write the book about Gonzalez exploits? Are you listening John Markoff?

The distro uses Red Hat's graphical installer, called Anaconda, which will require you to choose a language to use during the installation process, select the appropriate keyboard layout for the system, as well as to choose an installation method.
Additionally, you must select a timezone and configure the system clock, enter a password for the root (system administrator) account, select an installation type and choose which software packages to install.
The choice of desktop environments and applications is yours
When using Momonga Linux, the choice of desktop environments and applications is yours. There are some default apps when you install the distribution, but they can be easily changed.
