But again, you're ignoring the bigger picture.
How does one showcase the future at a theme park when the future is at everyones finger tips already?
I can video chat with my son iPod to iPod from anywhere in the world that has Wi-Fi. The computers we use at home, or carry around with us, are far more powerful than anything they were using in EPCOT in the 80's or 90's. I could make dinner reservations at San Angel Inn, buy a plane ticket, book my resort, and get my tickets for EPCOT before I'm done typing this post, and I'd never have to leave my seat. Could be down there tomorrow eating dinner in EPCOT.
Disney isn't deferring to the future, IMO. There simply IS no "future" anymore. How long before the Mac I'm typing this post on becomes obsolete? Or your iPhone (assuming you have one)? The shelf life of this stuff is painfully short. The future is too close, and too rapidly changing for a theme park to not only try to keep up with it, but get out ahead of it enough to create attractions that can be sustained for even as small a window as five years!
Think about that.
IMO, the thing that made Tomorrowland, The Contemporary, and Future World so cutting edge and incredible in their day was because they were all predicated on (Tomorrowland and Contemporary moreso than Future World) the 60's/70's vision of the future. "Retro-future", if you will. It worked so well then because we didn't have our little glowing screens filled with pixelated goodness staring us in the face at every turn.
Sorry. That's a pretty tough beast to contend with.
That was stated very well. Indeed, by the time they design it and build it, 50 million dollars or more per pavilion or attraction the future has come and gone. Disney cannot keep up with Apple's of the world.
Thus my above opinion of knock it off. Just give up on trying to create the future that won't stand the test of time for 15 to 20 years. Basically if they build attractions like Thunder, Splash, Space etc. they will last long enough before a major refurb. to be worth the investment. Scraping the name "future world" and "tomorrowland" would allow Disney to be a little more creative in what they place in those areas.
And I have a problem with just razing the Imagination Pavilion or letting them stand empty like WoL. Something needs to replace them. At least when they removed Horizons and Motion something went in their place. Energy is about in the same condition as Imagination. It is beginning to remind me of the Fake Disneyland that was built overseas and just began to close off sections, rot then close. A chunk of Future World is already like this. Add in Discovery Island and River Country and Disney is getting pretty good at the close and rot concept. Look at how quickly Universal can raze an attraction and start to rebuild. You don't see this start, stop, re-evaluate we just saw with both Fantasyland and DTD Wharf.
And explain to me why every other Disney Park can build an attraction but at Epcot they will not spend a cent until they have a sponsor. Our admission to Epcot should cover it, what is it inching upto now close to a $100 for a day ticket?
I agree about trying to focus on the future.
They've kinda capitulated on Tomorrowland by saying it's the "retro" view of the future and not meant to reflect a realistic view that they might have though possible back then.
As for Future World, it never really had a lot of Future to it, as much as it was about technology in general with some insight at possible future tech. For instance, Living With The Land utilized current technologies, although they might have been futuristic to those not familiar with them.
They should call it "Tech World" instead. Treat it like the tech side of the "world's fair" that the World Showcase represents. Keep it up to date with some of the cutting edge stuff.
As for Imagination vs. WOL, assuming there is no specific hope for Figment, I'd see them gutting Imagination for a new purpose before re-opening WOL, based on location, visibility, etc. unless WOL as-is fits the need.
Ya I've heard the con of retro. It is a cop out. I understood the tech of yesteryear. Disney just has not demonstrated any desire to be cutting edge. And like the poster above said by the time they imagineer it, build it and pour all that money into it, it isn't cutting edge. Then they want a sponsor. What sponsor is going to invest in cutting edge that will obsolete by the time it is built.
Avatar is another good example. They pitched 2015 eta. That is a lot of money to invest in a concept that might not be popular by then. You build an Everest, they will come. It wasn't cutting edge, well themed but a coaster. It will likely stand the test of time far longer than any new tomorrowland or future world concept would. Dumbo is the flip side. Disney has spent a chunk of money creating a very nice tot ride. It will likely also stand the test of time. Sometimes Disney imagineers so well and other times they act like rookies.
It's odd how some people's vision of a 're-imagined' pavilion would be simply replacing it wth the old Dreamfinder again.
Maybe it's because they took a pretty solid pavilion and essentially destroyed it. Not something you often see in WDW. So why not start over again with what worked?

I think it's those who remember the original Figment attraction with Dreamfinder, who almost universally believe that it was far, far superior to the current one (and far^10 the intermediate version), who would really like that one back, rather than the current one. And theoretically it wouldn't take much to bring it back, vs. going with a whole new attraction.
For the younger set, who don't even know who Dreamfinder was, and perhaps have never even set foot in there, it wouldn't matter.
Was it MK or just Tomorrowland that is supposed to be the world that never was?
If you could define what the "entire concept" is from your point of view, I might be able to address the question better.
But when the original Tomorrowland was designed for Disneyland, the theming represented the idea of the not-so-distant future as seen in the 50s, as shown in the movies and programs of the time. "Realistic" as in what was envisioned as the possible future, and not just fantasy. Spaceports, living on the Moon, travel to Mars, etc. It was, in fact, how Walt saw future life.
Now we look at such and see it as something a bit more corny and "retro".
So the MK was built in the 70's, and the themeing of Tomorrowland was based upon the not-so-distant future...
...as seen...
...in the 50's.
That was realistic, not corny and retro.
Perhaps I need to look up the word retro again.

Preserve Lebanon Hills Regional Park
This petition will be used to voice your objection to the proposed development plan for Lebanon Hills Regional park, including the addition of paved trails through the interior of the park.
By signing this petition, you will be helping preserve and protect this valuable natural resource for generations to come.
Lebanon Hills currently offers natural trails, woodlands, prairies, lakes and wetlands for year-round nature based recreation and educational programs. The park is "a significant natural resource in Dakota County because it is the last remaining large habitats of this type in northern Dakota County...elevated in importance each time development takes place in the surrounding area." (Minnesota DNR, 1994)
PROPOSED PLAN: Dakota County Commissioners and Parks Department are proposing to incorporate Lebanon Hills as a hub for multiple paved regional trails as part of their 200-mile greenway corridor plan. These year-round paved recreational trails will be 10-12' wide with 2-3' mowed buffers on either side, through the interior of the park.
Lebanon Hills Connector Trail: 6.5 miles; east-west through the interior of the park; replacing existing woodlands and prairies; developed along wetlands, ponds and lakes, including the entire north side of Jensen Lake. Vermillion Highlands Greenway Trail: 1 mile; north-south inside the eastern edge of the park from Cliff Road to 120th street, parallel to Dodd Road. Additional Regional Trails: Mendota-Lebanon Hills Greenway, the North Creek Greenway and the Rosemount Regional Greenway potentially will connect within the park.Additional development concepts include: paved trails around Holland and McDonough lakes; expansion of parking at Jensen Lake to nearly double its current capacity; new amphitheatre; camper cabins;...and more.
The proposed development would significantly change the unique character of the park, and will set the precedent for future development in the future.
Protecting the natural character of Lebanon Hills has been a priority of citizens for decades. Signers of this petition feel the proposed development plan would be a loss for Dakota County and surrounding communities. The plan should reflect major emphasis on ecological stewardship and minimal development for generations to come.
Thank you for your support!
Note: Your email address will not be used inappropriately, nor displayed on this website after you sign the petition below. We will only email you about updates related to "Preserve Lebanon Hills". Please sign both first and last names, and be sure to share this petition with others that care. With your help, we CAN preserve the natural character of the park!
Im doing a project about the possible Lebanon hills master plans disadvantages in school. The further I look into the paved connector trails the more i find other people who oppose paved trails in the park.
These changes aren't right we do not need more pavement theres enough of it already

Have just been doing some calculating, and think it's probably worth me purchasing an annual pass for Disneyland, as I'm visiting week after next for five days, and then will be returning next year in August for just over a week. I've already booked and paid for my vacation package which includes a 5-day park hopper ticket.
What I would like to know is, is it possible upgrade my park hopper when I arrive, to a Disneyland Annual Pass? If so, this would save me a bundle in the long run, as I would definitely make good use of all the meal/merchandise/tour discounts offered by the Premium-level pass.
Thanks for any help you can offer! :thumbs:

George Bashian founded Bashian Rugs in 1931, at the height of the Great Depression. Many Americans couldn't even afford food and clothing, let alone luxurious, imported floor coverings. Despite the harsh economic climate, Bashian Rugs prospered — thanks in large part to Bashian's remarkable ability to spot designs that deeply resonated with the public. Today George Bashian Jr. runs the family business, which offers wool and silk floor coverings imported from China, Nepal, India, Iran, and Pakistan. Chinese decorative painting, geometric shapes, European textiles, and architecture are among the many sources of inspiration for Bashian's hand-knotted, hand-tufted, hand-loomed creations. Popular series include the Chelsea — bright-colored rugs featuring contemporary designs and a subtle abrash — and the Wilshire's tufted styles made from New Zealand blended wool. Bashian's one-of-a-kind rugs will bring opulence to any room and stand the test of time.

Game controllers for Android are a dime a dozen these days, and most of the newest ones do very little to inherently change anything. They're basically all the same Xbox or PlayStation-like designs that may or may not allow a phone to clip to them. The Phonejoy wants to change that with its controller, an interestingly designed unit that actually opens up and holds the device to replicate a PS Vita-type gadget.
Hey, have you heard? Gamepads for smartphones and tablets are a thing. A thing that is quickly becoming the Android equivalent of the many ridiculous iPhone plug-in accessories you'll find all across the web.
So, we're covering another one. It's called PhoneJoy Play. It does this:
You can fit a phone up to the size of a One X in the PhoneJoy Play horizontally, presumably. It connects (hold your applause, please) via Bluetooth, it requires games to implement compatibility (likely through an SDK to get full, native functionality), and you can fold it up into a more compact shape for play on televisions or tablets.
Hey, does the idea of another company making another proprietary game controller for games that require compatibility with said controller in order to work excite you? No? Me neither. But GreenThrottle, a new startup co-founded by Guitar Hero co-creator Charles Huang and two ex-Palm employees wants you to get excited.
Oh man, they're having so much fun - how could this idea ever not be a success?
Sarcasm aside, GreenThrottle does have the benefit of a more serious team leading its gamepad project, but compared to every other controller / TV gaming solution I've seen, this seems to bring nothing new to the table.

Why the 'Buzz'?
If you already haven't heard about Pinterest, then you just may have been hiding under a rock. But seriously, let me clue you in on why Pinterest is a force to be reckoned with. Pinterest just became the third largest social network in the U.S.
This social network has been growing by leaps and bounds in traffic and new users. According to AppData, Pinterest has 10.4 million registered users and are growing exponentially.
The largest demographic of Pinterest users are women, ages 25-34 reports Ignite and the average Pinterest user spends 98 minutes per month on the site, compared to 2.5 hours on Tumblr, and seven hours on Facebook, see more.
That's a lot of 'Pinning!'
Pinterest users have also increased by more than 145 percent says Mashable since the first of the year.
Pinterest allows users to "pin" images and video to a virtual bulletin board they can create. They can be photos they took and uploaded, images found on other websites, videos they find online or videos they have created themselves.
A user then shares that pin with their friends, who can then like, comment or re-pin it to their boards. The primary purpose is to share your interests with friends through images and video. Women are sharing recipe finds, hairstyles, fashion, planning weddings, sharing their faith, craft ideas, places they love and much more.
Women are creating the 'buzz' by liking, commented, connecting, following and re-pinning content. As the site hinges around our creative digital pinboards (just about anything goes) with our most beloved treasures, inspirations and great finds! Well, who wouldn't want to share?
What makes the social network so popular for the eighty percent of women users? Women are discovering the pure joy of inspiring friends, sharing our latest treasures and connecting through pictures and video from across the web.
Currently Pinterest is currently by invitation only, so those looking to join need to request an invite or ask a friend who is already on it. If you need an invite, e-mail Queen Bee Media and we would be glad will send you one.
Check out how Queen Bee Media uses our Social Media Pinboards for everything social!
Happy Pinning!

Dr. Mildred D. Huff Ofosu named Steering Committee Chair for Oak Ridge Associated Univeristy
Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) is a consortium of major Ph.D. granting academic institutions that cultivates collaborative partnerships that enhance the scientific research and education enterprise of our nation.
What America's historically black colleges and universities and minority-serving education institutions may lack in material resources for scientific research, they more than make up for in talent, ingenuity and expertise. ORAU recognizes these capabilities and places a high priority on building relationships between these schools and some of the larger laboratories and research universities in America.
Among the full complement of ORAU member institutions are 26 universities that comprise the Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Minority Education Institutions (HBCU/MEI) Council. Members of the HBCU/MEI Council are all engaged in leading-edge science and technology and are recognized as competitive and strategic business partners.
"As the Steering Committee Chair, my vision for the HBCU/MEI Council is to have all minority education institutions obtain the capacity required to earn membership with and benefit from ORAU's services and programs. The HBCU/MEI institutions need to increase and enhance research careers for faculty and students in STEM fields. In addition, I believe key focus areas for the council to target should include: a) technology transfer infrastructure and commercialization, b) broadening participation in STEM research and education c) nuclear engineering d) cyber security e) bioinformatics and f) emergency preparedness" stated Dr. Ofosu.
The ORAU HBCU/MEI Council is led by a Steering Committee representing three of the Council member institutions: Dr. Mildred D. Huff Ofosu, Morgan State University (chair), Dr. Curtis Charles, Fayetteville State University (co-chair), and Dr. Andres Gil, Florida International University (co-chair).
Morgan State University, founded in 1867, is a Carnegie classified Doctoral Research Institution offering more than 70 academic programs leading to bachelor's degrees as well as programs at the master's and doctoral levels. As Maryland's Public Urban Research University, Morgan serves a multi-ethnic and multi-racial student body and seeks to ensure that the doors of higher education are opened as wide as possible to as many as possible.

I've written in the past few days about the unconstitutional usurpation of Delaware's Constitutional Sheriffs' arrest powers by the Attorney General of Delaware. I've also mentioned that whimsical and hastily made decisions that attempt to eradicate by sweeping measures time-honored common-law rules and principles are a threat to the respective states' sovereignty. An historical look at the Constitutional Convention reveals the true significance of state sovereignty within the greater plan for our fledgling federalist nation. (As an aside, ironically, or perhaps, fittingly, Delaware was the first state to ratify the Constitution).
The "plan of the convention" as can be elicited from the historical materials, United States Supreme Court opinions, and the text of the Tenth Amendment draws a basic distinction between the powers of the newly created federal government and the powers retained by the preexisting, sovereign states. Chief Justice Marshall explained in the landmark decision of Sturges v. Crowninshield, 4 Wheat. 122, 193; 4 L.Ed. 529 (1819) that "it was neither necessary nor proper [for the Convention, and ultimately the Constitution] to define the powers retained by the States. These powers proceed, not from the people of America, but from the people of the several States; and remain, after the adoption of the constitution, what they were before, except so far as they may be abridged by that instrument." (emphasis added).
This classic restatement of the principle by Chief Justice Marshall directly endorsed Hamilton's reasoning in the Federalist No. 32, that the plan of the constitutional convention did not contemplate "[a]n entire consolidation of the States into one complete national sovereignty." Only a partial, and limited consolidation was envisioned, in which "the State governments would clearly retain all the rights of sovereignty which they before had, and which were not, by that act, exclusively delegated to the United States." The Federalist No. 32, at 198 (emphasis added).
The text of the Tenth Amendment unambiguously affirmed this principle:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
The significance of this formulation and the subsequent jurisprudence interpreting the Tenth Amendment (at least, for the most part, up until the ill-advised and unfortunate Garcia decision, which, for a time reduced the Tenth Amendment to little more than a truism as stated by some commentators) is that whatever powers the individual states had before the new federal government was created were forever preserved and galvanized against federal usurpation. Moreover, any powers delegated to the United States, as opposed to the States' retained, yet unwritten powers of sovereignty, had to be expressly vested in the new government by the Constitution itself. What this means to me is that federal powers cannot be created by implication, imaginative interpretation or by the stretching of the words and language of the Constitution; those powers have to be expressly granted to the federal government. Further, in order to divest a State of its retained powers of sovereignty, the Constitution also had to expressly do that. Again, doctrines of implication and interpretive wizardry cannot suffice to divest the States of their retained sovereignty.
One of the most, if not the most, inherent attributes of State sovereignty is to protect its people, i.e., public safety – perhaps, as Justice Campbell of the Michigan Supreme Court noted long ago, the most important prerogative of the State. As another of the Big Four Justices noted, courts, at least, have been intelligent enough to know to preserve these principles by reference to the organic document of government that is the respective states' constitutions until the people themselves are unwise enough to undo them.
Although much criticism can be lodged at the Delaware Attorney General and harsh admonitions can be lodged against its General Assembly for attempting to usurp the Constitutional Sheriffs' arrest powers in that state, it has to be pointed out that it is the individual citizens in that state who must realize that they are on the cusp of surrendering one of the most fundamental rights that they have. In allowing the attempted divestiture of the Sheriff's' rights, indeed their duties, to protect them, the citizens of Delaware threaten to surrender a right that may never be recovered absent some epic event. While these events touch upon the Tenth Amendment because they threaten to erode Delaware's power to govern its own constitutional and sovereign destiny, it is ultimately up to the State itself (and more particularly its citizenry) to properly protect its sovereign powers. That starts with respecting its own Constitutional History in the Plan of the Convention.
Indeed, we are still today dealing with a new federal government and our collective states' rights of sovereignty and the powers and duties that follow are a retained, original and unflappable reality that long preceded the formation of the new federal government. It is up to each state (and particularly to each of its individual citizens) to assert and protect this right to the fullest extent possible.

Lucy Rokach
• Name: Lucy Rokach
• Nickname: Golden Ovaries
• Current Residence: Stoke-on-Trent, England
• Birth Date: 1949
• Birth Place: Cairo, Egypt
It must take supreme confidence in yourself and your abilities to take out a second mortgage on your home to continue playing poker after going completely broke.
Not many people would have the guts, or the gamble, to take such a risk.
Lucy Rokach does, and that's one of the reasons she's a top female in the poker world as well as one of the top European players.
Rokach was born in 1949 in Cairo, Egypt.
When the Suez/Sinai War broke out in the area in the 1950s, Rokach's family moved from the war zone to England where she has lived ever since, settling in Stoke-on-Trent.
What started like a career in car selling and history teaching ended with a profession of pro poker playing before she discovered poker at age 38.
Less than a year later, she found herself flat broke.
While that might have discouraged many people, Rokach didn't like losing and thought of it as a challenge.
Lucy re-mortgaged her house in order to get her hand on some money and got right back to it.
Perhaps it was her determination during that period that also helped her develop a tough, aggressive style that's served her well in becoming a winning player and one of the best female pros around the world.
A lot of Rokach's success happened before the poker boom started when Chris Moneymaker won the 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event.
She started out in cash games and has played with David Colclough.
Her tournament success began in the early 90s with a win at the 1991 Festival of Poker in London in the £25 Pot-Limit Omaha event.
Since then she's cashed in numerous tournaments around the world, and has several cashes at World Series of Poker events.
She's even made the final table of two WORLD SERIES OF POKER (WSOP) Pot-Limit Hold'em tournaments in 1995 and 1996.
She's also made it into the money of two Main Events, one in 1996 and the other in 2004.
In 1999, Rokach got her first major tournament win when she took down the Grand Prix de Paris $10,000 main event.
Unfortunately, that was still four years before the introduction of the World Poker Tour, of which the Grand Prix de Paris is now a regular event.
So her first big win didn't bring her the fame and fortune it would now, but Paris did prove to be lucky for the Brit.
She returned in 2000 for the Summer Tournament and walked away with another win in its championship, the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em.
She also won the $100 Women's Limit Hold'em tournament at the first annual Jack Binion World Poker Open in Tunica that year.
By 2002 the poker world was finally taking notice of Rokach.
When she won the main event of the Irish Winter Tournament in October 2002, and then again the following year, the European community decided it was time to honor her poker skills by giving her a European Poker Lifetime Achievement award.
Rokach's success continues to this day with more than $1.2 million in tournament cashes.
Along her path to poker success, her game and image has evolved right along with the industry.
When she first started playing, she was given the nickname Spring Lamb for her role as the sacrificial lamb at the altar in a male dominated profession. Now she's known as Golden Ovaries – a tribute to her combination of luck, aggressive play and female gender.
The new nickname stems from a cash game Rokach was playing in a few years ago.
She kept beating one of the players with small cards when he would have aces.
He was going to tell her she had "golden bollocks," but corrected himself by saying golden ovaries instead, and the name stuck.
The poker world is also seeing a lot more female pros like Rokach coming up in the world.
The poker boom has increased pots and brought a lot more women to the table to ante up and try their hand at making it big with poker.
"The poker world has changed phenomenally," Rokach said in a Guardian Unlimited article in 2005.
"The money now available to be won is life-changing.
You've got sponsors offering you deals, celebrity players as in other sports, and there are more women, which makes for a much pleasanter atmosphere."
Rokach's own celebrity in the poker world extends to writing poker tip articles for magazines as well as finding time to provide commentary for The Poker Channel in the United Kingdom.
She's worked alongside Gary Jones and Roy Brindley providing commentary for the popular Late Night Poker.
• Top European female poker player
• Commentator on The Poker Channel
• Awarded European Poker Lifetime Achievement award

Has anyone ever got one of those powerfist engines from Princess Auto?
If so, how did they work for you? Any problems? I'm considering getting one but a little worried about the quality of them. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Better get at least three so you have a parts supply. Few if any shops will service them. |
- Posted by kompressor (My Page) on Mon, Apr 19, 10 at 11:10
Most of the time, canguy and I are in agreement but not this time. The Powerfist engines have proven to be quite successful for Princess, according to a contact I have at one store who isn't into BS'ing me about anything. Secondly, you have the Princess guarantee to fall back on. If you are not happy for any reason, take it back and get a full refund. As an example, I bought one of their air/hydraulic floor jacks and it developed a leak. When I took it back, I told them that I wanted another one instead of a refund. I was informed that head office pulled all existing stock off the floor because the failure rate of them was unacceptable. So, I had to take the refund and wait until they either got a new supplier or they tuned up the existing supplier regarding quality control. I don't know what happened but when that style of jack became available again, I bought another one and haven't had any problems. Another time, I bought a long handled ice chipper/scraper to use in our repair shop. Naturally, someone took it out of the shop and abused it. The wooden handle was broken off right where it enters the steel sleeve. I asked Princess if they had a replacement wood handle that I could buy and the answer was "No. Just bring in the broken one and we will either give you a new one or refund the original purchase price." So... how do you go wrong dealing with a company that looks after its customers this way? My advice... go buy that engine and stop worrying. |

Iris, I love you – Janice Yong
The alluring world of fragrance has captivated me ever since I was a child. My earliest memories are olfactory memories: the comforting smell of baby powder on my grandma's leathery skin as I cuddled up to her, the scent of Poison that enveloped me when my mom hugged a sleepy me before she went to work, the taste of Knowing left on my mug by my mom, the trail of Dune she left behind her as she walked clip clop away in her Ferragamos.
In part, it is the richly evocative imagery accompanying many of the more notable fragrance launches that appeals to my romantic sensibilities, and partly the fact that scent has the power to bring about complete mood changes in me that explains my love affair with perfume. This morning I confessed to owning approximately 100 bottles of different perfumes – one for every occasion (and more!) – while speaking to Sarah Rotheram, the CEO of Penhaligon's, and Richard Clayforth, the store manager from their Covent Garden boutique in London. Cue raised eyebrows and chuckles all round. And no, I don't wear scents tailored to what I think someone the likes of Jonathan Rhys Meyers will find addictive – I wear what I feel like at that very moment in time.
But no one single note has quite enthralled me like the iris in all its powdery, floral glory has. A scent that really smells much better when worn on skin (what junkies term a 'skin scent'), it warms up and turns a little more sensual and loses the metallic tinge that oft accompanies iris scents – great thing by my books.
Hermes Hiris had me at first whiff, 10 years ago and this iris obsession has lasted a good 10 years and counting. There are elements of iris in its top, middle and base notes but essentially starts off a little bitter and green, then develops into a honeyed, powdery, earthy mix with hints of rose and cedar.
Five years later as my tastes grew a tad more sophisticated and wanting to seem more grown-up and worldly, came a love for Acqua di Parma's Iris Nobile. This 'rich lady' scent begins as a anise-infused citrus then warms into a rich iris that intensifies as it dries down with additional woody notes of patchouli and oakmoss.
I recently encountered Chanel's Le Exclusifs 28 La Pausa to my delight. It's the lightest of all three scents and is gorgeous spritzed all over liberally. It starts off very fresh with a metallic tinge but you smell the iris right away, morphing into a soft iris after a short while. Very mildly earthy and softly velvety at the end, sniffing this has an almost soothing effect on me.
Iris, iris, I love you!

Spiritual healing
NPL spiritual healing is a technique to significantly enhance health, personality, life circumstances, talents and abilities and bring about success and love in life. NPL distance healing is unique since numerous problems that can't be remedied by any other conventional or complementary technique can be solved by NPL spiritual healing.
The NPL technique was developed by Linda Evans (the Netherlands). She has got psychic abilities that lead her to certain discoveries concerning the cause of misery in life and the subconscious mind. NPL spiritual healing is the name of the wonderful distance healing technique based on these discoveries. Linda Evans discovered she is able to perceive the subconscious mind in and around man and animal and act on it. That is what she does in NPL spiritual healing.
The subconscious mind consists of a positive and a negative part. The negative part or 'the programme' is the cause of misery in the world. The positive part or the 'energies' are the cause of everything positive in life. NPL spiritual healing can strongly impact on the subconscious mind and in doing so bring about positive changes in life like nothing else before. The programme consists of millions of negative programmes, also called patterns or blockages, which can be broken down in NPL spiritual healing.
Each pattern is the cause of something negative in life regarding health, personality, life situations, talents and abilities. Every energy is the cause of something positive in one of these areas. Once a pattern has been broken down in NPL spiritual healing the problem it caused will forever disappear.
Although numerous problems can be resolved in NPL, this is not the primary aim of this amazing healing. NPL primarily aims to break down the entire programme and to free the soul from all the patterns. This is what NPL spiritual healing is meant for. When patterns are broken down, energies that were buried under them will be released.
If we were free from the programme, there would be no suffering in any way, this could be called a divine state. NPL spiritual healing is a very powerful technique that can bring us back to the loving, talented, happy, extraordinary creatures we once were. NPL stands for the release of the soul from the programme. As a result we will obtain the right truth, instead of the truth dictated by the patterns and we will again have all our original abilities. More information on NPL spiritual healing can be found in this free book written by Linda Evans: NPL book: "Man and animal, victims of their subconscious mind, and the way to freedom"
NPL healing is performed by Linda Evans from a distance, but there is also a free self treatment. It is possible to make use of the energies used in NPL spiritual healing all by yourself. These energies surround Linda Evans and she can direct them – from a distance – to the subconscious mind of the people she treats in order to break down blockages. This is what happens in NPL spiritual healing. However, when someone thinks of Linda Evans, her energies move towards this person and also break down blockages. This is called the self-treatment. More information on this free self help version can be found on NPL self treatment.

Policy From Midnight to Morning Obama is moving quickly to overturn harmful Bush-era rules. By Katherine Tweed
From whooping cranes to Hawaiian gardenias, it was a dicey winter for the nearly 1,900 plants and animals listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Beginning in December, a last-minute rule change by the Bush administration made it optional, instead of mandatory, for federal agencies to consult outside scientists before taking any actions that could affect a listed species.
President Obama's administration revoked the regulation in April. But weakening the ESA was just one of many environmentally egregious rule changes the Bush White House made in its final months. Citing the importance of science-based policy, Obama and the new Congress have made swift strides to untangle the knot they inherited, although they are unlikely to review every change.
During the waning three months of every modern presidency, the executive office has rushed to amend various regulations—a process that doesn't require congressional approval. But President Bush's midnight was especially long. His administration began maneuvering last summer to ensure that rules loosening oversight on everything from health care to solid waste would take effect before Obama took office, making them more difficult to overturn.
"This is what's problematic about midnight regulations," says Veronique de Rugy, a senior research fellow at George Mason University's Mercatus Center. "They are very effective and lack oversight and accountability."
In the case of the ESA rule change, the Obama administration took advantage of a provision in the 2009 omnibus spending bill that gave the White House 60 days to rescind it. But for any rules already on the books, the administration will have to go through the entire rule-making process again, requiring studies and public comments, which can take months or years.
One last-minute change, for instance, would open up two million federal acres in the West to commercial oil shale development—an energy-intensive process that can harm mule deer and sage-grouse habitat (see "Slick Promise," March-April 2009). Though the rule was finalized, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar stalled it by freezing solicitations for oil shale lease agreements on public lands.
Salazar also reversed a regulation that would have allowed companies to dump mountaintop removal mining waste directly into waterways, reverting to the original policy, which prohibits dumping within 100 feet of a stream. Even so, Appalachian waters aren't necessarily in the clear, says Betsy Loyless, the National Audubon Society's senior vice president for advocacy and policy. The buffer zone hasn't really been enforced since it was implemented in 1983, and Obama, perhaps because of the strong Democratic base in coal country, hasn't indicated whether he'll be stricter. "While the announcement carries weight, unless it's accompanied by enforcing the application of the stream buffer rule," Loyless says, "then you've done nothing but engage in returning to the status quo."
But overall, environmental groups see the overturning of more than a dozen Bush-era policies as a signal that the days of sidelining science and ignoring greenhouse gases are over. Notably, Carol Browner, Obama's climate czar, and Lisa Jackson, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, moved quickly to declare that greenhouse gases threaten humans, a move that could pave the way for climate change legislation. It's a marked switch from the previous administration, which the Supreme Court rebuked for withholding a finding that greenhouse gases endanger human health and welfare.
"Obama's regulatory changes are memorable and significant," says Loyless. "This administration is meeting and even exceeding expectations."

Last week, Gov. Bob McDonnell appointed Chesterfield Del. Sam Nixon to serve as chief information officer of the Virginia Information Technology Agency, according to a press release from the governor's office. With General Assembly passage of McDonnell's legislation to increase transparency and accountability in the agency, the chief information officer will now report directly to the governor, through the Secretary of Technology, for the first time.
Nixon currently represents the 27th House of Delegates district in Chesterfield County, the release says. He will step down from that office. A special election will be held to fill the vacancy, as well as the other legislative vacancy created by the recent appointment of Harrisonburg Del. Matt Lohr as commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
A date for the elections will be set in the weeks ahead, the release says.
"Sam is a thought leader on information technology issues, both as a legislator and as a senior consultant at Richmond-based IT consulting firm CapTech Ventures," McDonnell says in the release. "Sam's experience in this fast-changing industry will be of tremendous benefit at VITA. I know he will do a great job for the citizens of Virginia."
"I'm honored that Gov. McDonnell has appointed me to serve as Virginia's chief information officer," Nixon says in the release. "I have a great passion for public service and technology, and share the governor's goal of improving IT management in Virginia."

Try Japanese holly, Ilex crenata. Looks almost identical to box and much less prone to any problems or winter bronzing. I'd consider the cultivars 'Helleri' or 'Green Island'. |
