Incident Dream Explanation
— During a pilgrimage to Mecca, a sheikh was told in a dream that he would die on such and such
. When he returned home, he held that dream to himself and waited for the time to come. Once he passed that
stated in his dream, he waited a few more days, then told someone about it, saying: "I would have hot told you about this dream, had the
not passed." The person replied: "Perhaps you miscalculated the
, or maybe it is a confused dream." After returning to his home, the sheikh died during that same night. This is the meaning of God's Prophet's saying: "A dream sits on the wing of a bird and will not take effect unless it is related to someone."
Example of Species Dream Explanation
— A specific tree like the
tree or a walnut tree. The
tree may be interpreted as an honorable Arab gentleman since
trees are mainly indigenous to arab countries. As for the walnut tree, it represents a non-Arab person since these trees do not grow in the land of the Arabs. The same applies to birds. If a bird is huge it symbolizes an Arab gentleman; a peacock represents a non-Arab gentleman.

tree. This may be interpreted as total goodness and virtue since the
tree is regarded as a tree constituting total goodness as is known from the hadeeth. One the other hand a walnut tree may be interpreted as a person who is deceptive as well as quarrelsome. Why? Because it is by nature very hard and its core cannot be attained until broken or split open.

Dates Dream Explanation
— (Fruit; Palm tree) In a dream, dates mean money or a good message. Eating dates in a dream means earning lawful income. Dates are like money, they do not have a long shelve life. Unripened dates in a dream indicate the availability of water for those who need it. Red unripened dates in a dream may signify some type of blood disease, whereby the red cells grow to exceed in number the white cells. Dates in a dream also mean rain. Eating dates in a dream means reading the Holy Quran and reaping benefits from one's religion. Buried dates in a dream represent one's savings. If one sees himself burying dates in a dream, it also means stealing from the property and money of orphans. Dates placed to dry in the open represent money which does not last. To harvest dates in a dream in season means that one may get married to a noble and a wealthy woman. It also means acquiring knowledge. Harvesting dates out of season in a dream means that one will learn something good but fail to act upon it. If one see that he is fanning himself with a tender and a wet branch of a palm tree in a dream it means learning something beneficial from a hypocrite, or it may mean relief from distress. If a woman sees herself eating ripened dates that are dripping with juices in the dream, it means that she will receive an inheritance from her husband and that her name will be included in his will, even if she is divorced. If one sees himself taking a
, splitting it in half and extracting the
pit from it in a dream, it means that he will beget a son. Eating fresh dates in a dream means hearing good words beside other benefits. (Also see Bunch of dates;
Dates Dream Explanation
— Dates symbolize the reading of the Holy Quran, good religious faith, rain, general and honest welfare, and savings.
• Eating high-quality dates: Will hear something good and useful.
• Buying dates: Will save money or receive money from some safe or treasury.
• Opening a
and removing its pit: Will have a child, in view of a verse in the Holy Quran: "Lo! Allah (it is) Who splitteth the grain of corn and the date-stone (for sprouting). He bringeth forth the living from the dead, and is The bringer-forth of the dead from the living. Such is Allah. How then are ye perverted?" ("Al-Anam" [Cattle], verse 95.)
• Eating dates with tar: Will divorce secretly.
• Seeing a measure of dates: A booty.
• Seeing scattered dates: The dreamer is planning a trip.
• Picking a
from a palm tree during the right season: (1) Will marry a noble, rich, and blessed woman. (2) Will obtain money from generous and noble people without effort. (3) The dreamer's farm will yield him good money. (4) Will acquire useful knowledge and benefit from it. If the
was picked in the wrong season, he would acquire such knowledge but not use it.
• Picking nice dates from a dry palm tree: (1) Will learn something useful from an unholy man. (2) If in trouble, relief will come.
• Dates being picked for the dreamer: Money will come to the dreamer through dangerous people he will govern. A man said, "I dreamed that I found forty dates." "You will receive forty lashes," said the famous dream interpreter Ibn Siren. Sometime later, the same man came to Ibn Siren and told him he found forty dates at the gate of the sultan, to which Ibn Siren said that the man would receive one thousand dirham's. When asked about the contradiction, Ibn Siren said that the first dream was made when the season was over and trees were dry; as for the second, it took place when waters were irrigating the trees. And he was right, on both occasions.
Palm Tree Dream Explanation
— The
palm symbolizes the knowledgeable man and his children, tribe, or folk. It specifically refers to a noble, honest, and esteemed Arab who likes to benefit people, perhaps a scholar. It also means long life. However, the trunk of a palm is a bad augury. It symbolizes torture in view of a Quranic verse: " (Pharaoh) said: Ye put faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he is your chief who taught you magic. Now surely I shall cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and I shall crucify you on the trunks of palm tree, and ye shall know for certain which of us hath sterner and more lasting punishment." ("Ta-Ha," verse 71.) One palm tree is a reliable and powerful friend. It could also refer to an honest woman famous for her charity. The palm branches or leaves symbolize more children and progeny. They could also allude to women's hair. Its clusters mean money in view of the Quranic verses: "And lofty date-palms with ranged clusters, provision (made) for men; and therewith We quicken a dead land. Even so will be the resurrection of the dead." ("Qa," verses 10–11.) The dry palm tree symbolizes a hypocrite.
• Cutting a palm tree: The death of a great and knowledgeable man and/or his children.
• Owning many date-palms: (1) For a ruler, an additional province or more power. (2) Good business for the merchant. (3) Gains for the market dealer.
• Strong winds uprooting palms: An epidemic will erupt in the area, or God or the ruler will punish the people and make them suffer.
• Becoming a palm: The dispute or bad journey in which the dreamer is involved will worsen.
Incident Dream Explanation
— A woman said to Imam Ibn Seerin: "I saw myself in a dream sucking on a
and giving my neighbor the rest to eat." Imam Ibn Seerin replied: 'You will help your neighbor by performing a little deed." On the following day, the woman washed her neighbour's garment.
Buckthorn tree Dream Explanation
— (Genus Zizyphus; Jujube tree; Lotus tree; Shrubs) In a dream, this warm climate buckthorn family tree that grows
like fruit represents a noble and a generous woman, or a noble and a generous man. The greener is its color, the greater is such a person. Seeing the buckthorn tree in a dream means rising in station, developing piety and gaining knowledge. Eating its fruit in a dream means that one may fall victim to a sickness. Climbing a buckthorn tree in a dream means depression and adversities.
Tree Dream Explanation
— The tree symbolizes religion and sects in view of the allegory in the Holy Quran of the good tree (date palm) and the good words: "Seest thou not how Allah coineth a similitude: A goodly saying, as a goodly tree, its roots set firm, branches reaching into Heaven." ("Ibrahim" [Abraham], verse 24.) Likewise, the Muslims Holy Prophet likened the good tree to the Muslim. The one he saw himself holding in a spiritual odyssey,52 he said, was the duty of praying, which he had brought to his followers. Ancient Arab dream interpreters said that whereas the tree referred to the man's deeds, religion, or ego, its leaves symbolizes his character, its beauty his nice shape and clothing, its branches his brothers, relatives, folk, and beliefs, its heart his hidden essence and his secrets, its bark his appearance, skin, and all that he uses to adorn himself with, and its semen his faith, piety, assets, and life. The tree also represents the female kind, for it is irrigated; it bears (fruits) and delivers. It also refers to various places and persons associated with food, money, and wealth, like shops, warehouses, banquets, slaves, servants, and cattle. A specific number of trees alludes to men showing similitude's with such trees. Giant trees like the cypress tree or life tree or juniper tree or the Oriental plane tree are huge, rigid, and evil men. The good smell of a tree is the good reputation of the man whom the tree alludes to. The tree overladen with fruit symbolizes a man known for his largesse. Trees could also symbolize a quarrel or a fight, in view of their Arabic name, shagar, which is homonym for those words. Here, like in all trees involving plants, the season in which the tree is dreamed of plays an important role in the interpretation.
• Seeing many
palms in an unusual place: Will command as many men.
• Seeing many
palms in a garden or a fertile land and taking their fruits: Will obtain money from honest and noble people.
• A dead person sitting on top of a tree or owning one:
• If the tree is big and beautiful, the dead man is in Paradise.
• If the tree seen in the dream is ugly and full of thorns or black and filthy, like the Zachum oil tree or the thorn tree, he is being tortured in Hell.
• A sick man sitting on top of or owning a tree: His fate will depend on the condition of the tree as witnessed in the dream.
• A healthy person sitting on top of or owning a tree: Will get or fail to get what he wants (be it sex, marriage, or anything else), depending on the condition of the tree.
• Owning plenty of trees: Will become a leader or a judge of men.
• Plenty of trees in a house: Men and/or women will assemble there for something good or bad: (1) If the trees bear good and tasty fruits alluding to welfare and prosperity and people are eating from them: A banquet will be given there. (2) If the fruits are bad or allude to unhappiness: The assembly will be for a funeral rite. (3) If there is a sick person in the house and the fruits seen in the dream were unknown: The fate of the patient will depend on the season and the condition of the trees.
• Planting a tree or sowing its seeds successfully: The dreamer's prestige and honour will be enhanced, and he will bring up or train a man who will benefit him.
• Planting trees in one's garden: Will have male children whose length of life will be commensurate with the height of the trees.
• Planting grape seeds: Honours.
• Seeing a vineyard or a tree ready to deliver in winter: An allusion to a man or woman whose money is gone but whom people still believe to be rich.
• A tree falling, breaking, or being cut or uprooted by a strong wind: A man or a woman will die or get killed. If it is a palm tree, the person in question will be an illustrious man or the wife or mother of a chief. The olive tree refers to a scholar, a preacher, an interpreter, a ruler, or a medical doctor.
• Extracting semen from a tree: Will obtain money from a man whom such a tree refers to.
• Seeing in a house an unknown tree of the type representing women: A fire will be lit in that house in view of a verse in the Holy Quran: "Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it. ("Ya-Sin," verse 80.)
• Seeing an unknown tree in a house: A possible fight or quarrel, in view of a Quranic verse: "But nay, by thy Lord, they will not believe [in truth] until they make thee judge of what is in dispute (Arabic: shagara) between them …" ("Al-Nisae" [Women], verse 65.)
• Picking fruit from a tree while seated: Money will come without effort.
Palm tree Dream Explanation
— (Date palm) A palm tree in a dream represents a sire, a scholar, a noble man or a wise man who imparts his knowledge and wisdom to others. Cutting a palm tree in a dream means the death of such a man. Seeing a plantation of palm trees, or an oasis or palm trees in a dream mean leading people and guiding them on the straight path. If a merchant or a trader sees a palm tree in his dream, it means business success. If a shopkeeper sees a palm tree in his dream, it also means profits. A dead and dried out palm tree in a dream represents a hypocrite. To uproot a palm tree in a dream means that a plague will befall that place, or it could mean suffering from the persecution of an unjust ruler. Uprooting a palm tree in a dream also means a dead end to one's plans, or it could mean a dispute. A palm tree in a dream also represents one's paternal aunt. Palm trees in a dream also represent Arab women. If one sees a seedling become a big palm tree in a dream, it means that a child in that community will grow to be a great scholar. It also connotes that a weak person will grow strong. Seeing a palm tree in a dream also means longevity, a scholar, a teacher, children, a wife, a house, a property, a king, a year, new clothing, money, or bearing a child. To prune or trim a palm tree in a dream means that one's adversity at his work or related to his travels will be dispelled. (Also see Palmyra; Tree)
Mouse Dream Explanation
— The mouse symbolizes the dreamer's household: those who dwell in his house—his wife and children, et cetera—a debauched woman, or, some say, a devilish Jewish woman or a Jew, as related by Al-Nabulsi. It could also refer to a thief. Many mice means profit and welfare. Mice of the same color allude to women. The rat is a digging thief.
• Dreaming of a mouse playing in one's house: Prosperity will increase because, according to the ancient Arabs, mice invade only those places that are prosperous. And only people who are not hungry can afford to play.
• Seeing mice in one's house: Dangerous women will enter that house.
• A mouse leaving one's house: Livelihood and blessings will decrease.
• Owning a mouse: Will have a servant because, like servants, mice share the food of the master.
• White and black mice coming and going: Long life, as the white indicate the days and the black the nights. To borrow the expressions of Ibn Siren, the black and white mice are the nights and days silently nibbling our life and body.
• Plenty of white and black mice in an inclined or jeopardized location or a well: Life will be shortened.
• Dreaming of a mouse during an afternoon nap: Will have a long life.
• Seeing a mouse in one's clothes or bedding: Will have intercourse with an evil woman.
• A mouse gnawing on a person's clothes: The time that passes and erodes everything.
• A mouse digging and searching: Beware of a searching thief.
• Killing a mouse: Will win over or subdue an evil or corrupt woman.
• Obtaining mouse skin: Will get some money, not much, from a debauched woman.
• Throwing arrows or stones at a mouse: Will backbite a licentious woman or exchange correspondence with her on an unholy matter.
• Catching a mouse: Will outsmart a woman and sleep with her. A man who saw himself penetrating a mouse and coming out with a
from its ass asked Ibn Siren about the meaning of such a dream. "Are you married to a corrupt woman?" asked Ibn Siren. "Yes," said the man. "She will give birth to a devout son."
• A mouse coming out of one's rectum: A thankless woman will get out of the dreamer's life.
• A mouse coming out of the dreamer's nose or penis: Wife will give birth to a corrupt and ungrateful girl.
Wine Dream Explanation
— The ancient Arabs interpretation of dreams involving wine and drunkenness was mainly based on relevant verses in the Holy Quran. "And the fruits of the date-palm, and grapes, whence ye derive strong drink and also good nourishment. Lo! therein, is indeed a portent for people who have sense." (Al-Nahl" [The Bees], verse 67.) "They question thee about wine and gambling. Say: in them is great sin, and (some) benefit for men; but the sin is greater than profit… ("Al-Baqarah" [The Cow], verse 219.) "O ye who believe! Wine and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows are an abomination of Satan's handiwork: Eschew such (abominations), that ye may prosper. ("Al-Maidah" [The Table Spread], verse 90.) "Satan seeketh only to cast among you enmity and hatred by means of wine and gambling, and to turn you from remembrance of Allah and from (His) worship. Will ye then have done? ("Al-Maidah" [The Table Spread], verse 91.) "A similitude of Paradise with that which those who keep their duty (to Allah) are promised: Therein are rivers of water unpolluted, and rivers of milk of which the taste never changes, and rivers of wine—a joy to the drinkers—, and rivers of clear-run honey. There are for them all kinds of fruits, and Grace from their Lord. (Can those in such Bliss) be compared to such as shall dwell forever in the Fire and be given, to drink, boiling water, so that it cuts up their bowels (to pieces)?" ("Muhammad," verse 15.) "And two young men went to prison with him. One of them said: I dreamed that I was pressing wine. The other said: I dreamed that I was carrying upon my head bread whereof the birds were eating. Announce unto us the interpretation, for we see thee of those good (at interpretations) … "He said: The food which ye are given (daily) shall not come unto you, but I shall tell you the interpretation are it cometh unto you. This is of that which my Lord hath taught me. Lo! I have forsaken the religion of folk who believe not in Allah and are disbelievers in the Hereafter … "O my two fellow-prisoners! As for one of you, he will pour out wine for his lord to drink; and as for the other, he will be crucified so that the birds will eat from his head. Thus is the case judged concerning which ye did inquire." ("Yusuf" [Joseph], verses 36–37 and 41.)59 "And the drunkenness (stupor) of death will bring truth (before his eyes): This was the thing which thou wast trying to escape!" ("Qaf' [A letter with an enigmatic meaning], verse 19.) A description of those who will deserve Paradise: "For them there is a known provision: fruits! while they are honoured in the Gardens of Delight (Paradise), on couches facing one another; a cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them, white, delicious to the drinkers, wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby. And with them are those (women) of modest gaze, with lovely eyes, (pure) as they were hidden eggs (of ostrich)." ("Al-Saffat" [Those Who Set The Ranks], verses 41–49.) In another description: "Nay but the record of the righteous is in 'Illiylin'. Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'IIIyin'is! A written record attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord). Lo! the righteous verily are in delight. On couches, gazing, thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight. They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed, (and) whose aroma is musk—For this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss—And (that wine is) mixed with water from Tasnim', a spring whence those brought near to Allah drink." ("Al-Mutaffifin" [Defrauding], verses 18–28.) "O ye who believe! Draw not near unto prayer when ye are drunken, till ye know that which ye utter, nor when ye are polluted save when journeying upon the road, till ye have bathed. And if ye be ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have touched women, and ye find not water, then go to high clean soil and rub your faces and your hands (therewith). For God doth blot out sins and forgive again and again." ("Al-Nisae" [Women], verse 43.) "On the day when ye behold it, every nursing mother will forget her nursing and every pregnant one will be delivered of her burden, and thou (Muhammad) wilt see mankind as drunken, yet they will not be drunken, but the Doom of Allah will be strong (upon them)." ("Al-Hajj" [The Pilgrimage], verse 02.) It follows that wine in a dream symbolizes easy and sinful gain and power and secret marriage. And there is a marked distinction between drinking wine, getting drunk, and being drunk without having absorbed anything.
• Pressing wine: (1) Will serve a lord and handle great matters. (2) Someone will die in the house where the wine was pressed.
• Drinking wine: Will make big profits but not without committing a grave sin.
• Drinking wine without anybody trying to share it with the dreamer has two diametrically opposed interpretations: (1) Will make plenty of money through sin. (2) Will make legal profits.
• Competing with someone over wine and drinking it: Someone will oppose the dreamer and have a strong argument with him inasmuch as he was getting from the wine.
• Drinking much or being in the midst of a large party of people drinking wine: Enmity and conflict. Bad dream anyway, because too much drinking leads to drunkenness, which is cursed for being the underlying cause of troublemaking, antagonism, and deadly fights or battles.
• Wine for a person seeking partnership or marriage: Consent, because of the idea of mixing and blending.
• Obtaining
wine: Suspicious money.
• Drinking
wine: Opportunistic gain.
• Drinking wine mixed with water is a controversial dream. (1) Profit of which some is lawful and the rest illicit. (2) Thorny gains. (3) Will take money from a woman and fall victim to a conspiracy or some sort of intrigue.
• Selling wine: (1) The sale of something illegal. (2) Usury. (3) Lack of benefit.
• Selling wine whose flavour and smell are changed: Bad omen.
• Wine dealer: Symbolizes the intriguer and hostile person.
• Manufacturing wine that ferments: The dreamer is trying to earn money legally, but will fail and resort to unholy practices.
• Discovering a river of wine flowing without interruption and drinking from it without getting drunk: A perpetual source of income. If the flow is halted, nothing good should be expected from such a dream.
• Discovering a wine river: intrigue. If the dreamer dives in it, he will be the victim of such an intrigue inasmuch as he ventured into that river. But it could also mean that authority will undergo certain changes.
• Being drunk without having taken anything: Worries, fear, and terror.
• Getting drunk: • (1) The dreamer has money and power but is ungrateful. (2) No more fear, because nothing can frighten a drunken person. (3) Ignorance.
• Getting drunk and tearing one's clothes: The dreamer is a prosperous and wealthy person who cannot cope with blessings and exercise self-restraint.
• Spilling wine on the ground: The dreamer is squandering money.
• Discovering some hidden wine: Will find a treasure. A man told Ibn Siren that he saw himself drinking wine, his face blackened and his head shaved. "Your face looked black because you are the master of your folk," said Ibn Siren. (The words aswad and Muswadd in Arabic, which mean "black" and "blackened," resemble sayyed or sada, which mean "master" or "has become master.") "Your head being shaved," he continued, "means that your folk will desert you and you will no longer command. "As for drinking wine, you will have a woman." Once a governor told Ibn Siren he dreamed that he was holding a cup of wine in one hand and a glass of milk in the other, to which the great interpreter replied, "Milk means justice, but for you wine means that you will lose your post." And the dream came true.
• Dreaming of a wine store signifies: (1) Energy after weakness or laziness. (2) Grief, sorrow, and worries or deep trouble, in view of the irresistible yet unnecessary spending that takes place in it and the items therein, which could bring about the kind of severe punishment prescribed by Islam. (3) Paradoxically, it could also mean the end of grief, sorrow, worries, et cetera. (4) The time has come for whatever the dreamer had been promised to be fulfilled. (5) For the sick, the hour has come. (6) The dreamer will immediately start exercising his authority. (7) Will go astray after finding the right path. (8) Possible intrigue if the person is in trouble. The etymology of the word khamr, or fermentation, whence comes khamira, or yeast, in Arabic plays a great role in interpreting related dreams, in view of the notion of fermentation, the thing that matures, or the process of mixing or blending. For instance, in the mind of Al-Nabulsi, (6) above is interpreted the way he did because the time is ripe for the sultan (or titular head) to exercise or start the familiarization process with his new office.
Grape Dream Explanation
— Grape juice, especially wine, symbolizes women, in view of its delicious taste. It also represents sex, because it is like the semen. Likewise, it refers to a generous and useful man, a good-doer, owing to the multifarious benefits of grape. He could be a ruler, a scholar, or a person who gives money to the needy. White grapes in the right season allude to the best of this world, like money that will come earlier than expected. In winter, grapes allude to rain. To the ancient Arabs, every bunch of grapes was one thousand dirham's (currency units). Black grapes during the right season symbolize fear and disease; otherwise they mean trouble and worries. They are also a harbinger of cold weather. Grapes were believed by the ancient Arabs to be harmful. They also thought that no benefit could be derived from the black color and hated black grapes in any case. Among other things, they argued that the grape was originally white, placed near the son of Nuh (Noah). When his father cursed him, it suddenly turned black. Certain dream interpreters felt that the black grape meant nothing but money that will not last. Separate from the bunch, it symbolized extreme fear or chills. Others regarded the black grape as a not so bad dream, in view of a verse in the Holy Quran: "And of the fruits of the date-palm, and grapes, whence ye derive strong drink and (also) good nourishment. Lo! therein, is indeed a portent for people who have sense." ("Al-Nahl" [The Bees], verse 67.) They also thought so because the Prophet Zakareyyah (Zacharia) used to find it at Mariam's (Mary's) place. However, in interpreting such dreams special care should be given to the season in which the dream took place. Was it the time when vineyards blossom? Was it the harvesting season? Was it the period of the year when the vineyards go dry? The fate of the dream or of the person dreamed of will depend on those vagaries.
• Having a dream involving grapes and a certain woman during the bad season: (1) If that woman is ill, she will die. (2) If pregnant, she will give birth to a girl.
• A bachelor dreaming of owning a vineyard: (1) Will marry a nice woman. (2) Will be in the good books of a philanthropist.
• Dreaming of grape or a vineyard during the bad season: (1) If newly wedded, wife will have difficulty getting to her husband. (2) If rich, dreamer will become poor or business will be sluggish.
• Dreaming of black grapes: Flogging or lashes as much as there were seeds in the grapes.
• Picking a bunch of black grapes from a tree: Wife will give birth to a boy fathered by a black bondsman.
• Picking a bunch of grapes: The dreamer will take his wife's savings.
• Pressing grape to obtain juice and turning the latter into wine: The dreamer will win the favours of the chief, along with unblessed money, in view of the story of the Prophet Yusuf as related in the Holy Quran: "And two young men went to prison with him. One of them said: I dreamed that I was pressing wine. The other said: I dreamed that I was carrying upon my head bread whereof the birds were eating. Announce unto us the interpretation, for we see thee of those good [at interpretation]. He said: The food which ye are given [daily] shall not come unto you but I shall tell you the interpretation ere it cometh unto you. This is of that which my Lord hath taught me … O my fellow-prisoners! As for one of you, he will pour out wine for his lord to drink; and as for the other, he will be crucified so that the birds will eat from his head. Thus is the case judged concerning which ye did inquire." ("Yusuf [Joseph], verses 36–41.)

I'm Kristine Widtfeldt, Close To My Heart's Vice President of Marketing, and I'm going to tell you the secret to creating four scrapbook pages, start-to-finish, in just 30 minutes!
I love scrapbooking, but as a working mom of three, my life can get kind of hectic. That's why I love Studio J®, Close To My Heart's online design software.
Studio J lets me upload my photos, choose a layout and themed paper kit, and embellish my layout—all in just a few minutes. Then I place my order, and in a few days my 12″ x 12″ layouts are delivered to my door, all ready for my albums. I can do a month's worth of scrapbooking in just a few hours, and I don't even have to bother getting my photos printed beforehand! That means I can scrapbook my life as it happens, without falling behind.
I want to share Studio J with you, so at the end of this post I'll tell you how you can win a free Studio J 5-pack.
Now I have to let you in on a little secret: Even though I absolutely love Studio J, I never want to give up my paper and scissors. I totally dig measuring and cutting and gluing and all that good stuff.
So guess what? I do both. For me, it's not a question of digital versus classic scrapbooking. I do some of my scrapbooking online in Studio J and some with paper and scissors. And sometimes I create my layouts online, but then add classic embellishments once I receive my layouts in the mail.
That's what I've done with this layout of my friend and fellow Close To My Heart VP, Monica Wihongi. I spent some extra time on this layout—it took me about 30 minutes to create online, instead of the 10 or 15 minutes I take when I'm in a hurry—and then when I got the printed version, I added some ribbon and Close To My Heart Sparkles accents and pretty silver mesh flowers. My albums are a mix of studio and classic layouts, with a few embellished studio layouts like this one sprinkled in for good measure. It's great!
Let me take you into the studio so you can get a feel for Studio J. It's simple for newbies to use, but offers enough creative options to keep advanced scrapbookers happy and excited! We have a Step-by-Step Basics video you can watch online, but I'll walk you through the steps here as well.
The first step is Photos, where you upload the digital pictures you're going to use.
Next is Kits. You select one of the 70 or so paper kits offered. Later on you'll have a chance to change the colors of the paper, giving you tons of flexibility.
Then comes Patterns, where you choose a layout. I love how I can fit as many as 16 photos in a single layout, or I can choose to have an enormous focal photo if I really want to make it pop.
The fourth step is Personalize. This step is definitely the fun part, because this is where you can let your creativity shine. You can change the preset paper selections, rotate your pages, type in a title and journaling, and add My Stickease® images or ribbons, brads, etc. There are default accents that are pre-placed and all you have to do is colorize them, or you can toggle them off and add custom embellishments to your heart's content. Spend as much or little time here as you like.
And the final step is Buy. Once you've purchased your layouts, they're custom-printed on 100+ year, archival-quality paper and shipped to your door. And if you're a Studio J member, you get 50% off custom prints plus free JPG versions of your layout to share online or print at home.
Ready to give Studio J a try? I bet you are! Just go to your Close To My Heart Independent Consultant's MyCTMH® website, or hop onto StudioJ.com and start playing. We're sponsoring a great giveaway, too. All you have to do is go to Studio J and try it out.
Come back here and leave a comment letting us know what kit and pattern you chose for a chance to win a free Studio J 5-pack (a $55 US value)! A 5-pack includes 5 two-page layouts, 5 Memory Protectors®, and free shipping. It's a great gift, and a great way to get started with Studio J scrapbooking!

A Pennant Flag from our My Creations Banner
Our fun My Creations Banner has been super popular since it's sneak peek release in December.
But what if you'd like to create something other than a banner? I've been asked this question a few times ("What else can I make with this new banner?") How about a Pennant Flag!
You can do something simple like my "Relax" Pennant Flag. Or maybe you want to make up a team one to celebrate your summer sports! One for soccer, baseball, swimming....
All you need is one of the 8 white chipboard pennants that is included in this product. Decorate as desired and then use a little Liquid Glass to adhere a wooden dowel (or even a bamboo skewer!) to the back of the pennant. Voila...a fun, easy and useful project!

Last year at this time NLPC reviewed 2012 as "The Year of Taxpayer 'Green' Waste," and that description applied to 2013 as well. But additional trends of government opaqueness and inattention to safety and security – often related to stimulus-funded programs and their corporate beneficiaries – were also revealed.
There's that uncomfortable juxtaposition of words again: "Tesla" and "fire."
This time was quite an accomplishment by the electric automaker's publicity department: they kept the Irvine, Calif. garage fire quiet for over a month. The secrecy expired on the November 15 incident when the Orange County Fire Authority attributed the incident to the EV's re-powering set-up, according to a report obtained by Reuters.
Thirteen of Fisker Automotive executives made more than six figures in the past year, despite manufacturing zero cars.
The news was first reported Wednesday afternoon on the automotive Web site Jalopnik.com, and later in the evening by the Delaware Journal. Jalopnik often gets the scoops when electric cars catch fire. For those unaware of the ugly saga, Fisker declared bankruptcy at the end of last month after squandering more than $1.4 billion in private investment and losing $139 million of taxpayers' money.
There's a postscript to the Fisker Automotive bankruptcy story from earlier this week: The actions by the Department of Energy in awarding the unworthy luxury electric automaker a $529 million loan gave them validation, to the point where the state of Delaware made its own "investment" with state taxpayers' money in the company.
Now that the collapse is official, Delawareans are out too.
An incident blew up in the media this week, in which a Georgia owner of an electric car was arrested, after he plugged in his Nissan Leaf at a DeKalb County middle school without permission.
Except, unable to resist a good spin, journalists glommed on to the sympathetic portrayal of the Leaf owner's seeming inconsequential crime: He only stole a nickel's worth of electricity. If you didn't dig very far into the story, you'd see the portrayal of driver Kaveh Kamooneh victimized by a cold, unyielding police officer in the Atlanta suburb of Chamblee. Worse, the officer's boss, Sergeant Ernesto Ford, said, "I'm not sure how much electricity he stole. He broke the law. He stole something that wasn't his."
Following incidents in Washington state, Mexico and Tennessee, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced it would probe fires that occurred recently over a six week period in Tesla Motors' electric Model S.
And this week, as revealed in a Detroit News story, the NHTSA looks like they're serious – at least more serious than Germany's transportation safety authority.
Fisker Automotive declared bankruptcy last week, inspiring the eternally optimistic Obama Department of Energy to crow about its achievements again.
"Recognizing that these investments would include some risk, Congress established a loan loss reserve for the program, and the Energy Department built in strong safeguards to protect the taxpayer if companies could not meet their obligations," Bill Gibbons, an agency spokesman, said in an e-mail to Bloomberg News. "Because of these actions…the Energy Department has protected nearly three-quarters of our original commitment to Fisker Automotive."
After three recent fires, Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk said he asked the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to investigate its Model S.
NHTSA said no he didn't.
Fires, faulty drive units, financial losses and stock price deflation marked Tesla Motors news in a week that seemed as bad as the last couple of years were good.
Fortunately for CEO Elon Musk and his support staff he's mastered the art of celebri-preneur showmanship that he's built enough standing with the media to endure a really bad week. The multi-billionaire who's dazzled with innovation at Paypal, SpaceX and SolarCity will be permitted his stumbles because of his track record and his self-assurance. Henrik Fisker, whose taxpayer-backed luxury electric auto company didn't get nearly the same favor, must be jealous.
After an Inspector General's audit earlier this year of now-bankrupt electric vehicle charging company Ecotality, which determined that millions of taxpayer dollars were wasted in a nearly unworkable program, the IG has returned with findings that the Department of Energy withheld information about the project's problems during his first investigation.
The audit, released by DOE IG Gregory Friedman in July, determined (among other things) that the persistent weak demand for electric vehicles harmed the deployment and timeliness of a $135 million-plus taxpayer funded charging network, which led to excessive grants and project expansion that became virtually unusable under the grants' guidelines. Investigators discovered that conditions for reimbursement to Ecotality for the EV charging demonstration project were "very generous" and that cost-sharing requirements were extremely lenient.

What fills your life; quenches your thirst?
Do you fill your life with meaning? In Luke's Gospel this week, Jesus invites each one of us to be a disciple. This is no simple task; it is one that can entail a degree of hardship and sacrifice.
Often we are asked to deny ourselves and our interests. The woman who declines the social invitation of her friends and instead goes to the homeless shelter to serve meals and brighten the day for someone with kind words. The CEO who uses vacation time to help paint and fix up a shelter in the community instead of taking that trip to Europe.
When we make sacrifices for others, we truly benefit. We are called to do this not yearly, not monthly, but daily. And in return, Jesus promises, "Whoever loses his life for my sake will save it."

CEFreeman, DH had a blue tie and his suit is kind of blue, LOL. nan53, the furbabies were definitely part of everything. DH's brother married us and when we said "I do" the dogs both started barking like crazy- it was strange, don't know how they knew, but I guess it meant they were happy, LOL. cat_mom, it was actually a wedding dinner, not breakfast. Thanks westsider40. trailrunner, the crepes were definitely the highlight of the wedding. We go to the crepe place here probably once a week at least and we knew from the very beginning we wanted them to cater the wedding. It was great, they made 3 different kinds of savory crepes and a bunch of desert crepes and everyone was sharing so they got to try everything (the crepes were too big for people to eat one of each, LOL) Thanks breezygirl. I think the furkids would like a wedding every weekend for the food alone! Thanks mmhmmgood. I'm glad we waited until the house was done to do the wedding, we started building it even before we got engaged officially but as soon as we did get engaged I told DH that we needed to get married here. LOL aliris19, I do love sapphires. I'll let DH know now to plan on some sapphire anniversary jewels! He'll be thrilled to hear it. remodelfla, I was amazed at how well the house really did support having so many people over. Everyone had room to sit and eat somewhere, there were people in the dining room, great room and gathering room but most everyone spent a lot of their time in the kitchen! Ginny20, the crepes were delicious! I didn't get to eat any of the cheese or the tea sandwiches we had out because I was too busy trying to talk to everyone but I did make time to eat three crepes! Thanks francoise47, SaraKat, fouramblues, cottonpenny, chicagoans, and northcarolina Thanks red_lover. My friend actually made the cake for us. |
Ohhh - I love weddings so thanks for sharing your photos. I love the hints of blue in the plates, glasses and cutlery - very cute. Congratulations on your marriage and your beautiful entertaining space. |

Congratulations Beagles! Your kitchen is my all time favorite favorite!!! I'm so happy for you and I love your fur babies dressed appropriately in wedding attire. We dressed the puppy-doos appropriately for my daughter's wedding in 2006 too :) |

-- New Andean bear brings Bear Grotto census count to four --
March 7, 2011, Colorado Springs, CO – Bear Grotto's newest resident, a 21-year-old Andean bear named Rosie, is now on public exhibit at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. Rosie transferred from Tulsa Zoo in Oklahoma as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan.
She'll be a companion for Osito, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo's male Andean bear, however, there are no plans for breeding.
The easiest way to tell Rosie and Osito apart is by comparing their size. Rosie is noticeably smaller, weighing in at about 120 pounds. Osito weighs almost 400 pounds. The pair lives next door to Asiatic black bears Honey and Beezler.
As with all incoming animals, Rosie was initially quarantined off exhibit. Cheyenne Mountain Zoo's animal care and behavior managers helped Rosie and Osito get acquainted before they moved into Bear Grotto together. A mesh door called a "howdy" separated the two so they could see, sniff, and get used to each other, and staff used positive reinforcement training (and lots of treats) to encourage the bears to slowly develop a relationship
Andean bears, also called spectacled bears, are native to the Andes Mountains of South America and live at altitudes of up to 13,500 feet. They have distinctive lighter markings around their face, which resemble spectacles and are unique to each individual. Wild populations are decreasing due to habitat loss and poaching.

I'm trying something a little different today by posting through my iPhone, aaah technology! I won't make a habit of this as I am a very slow typer on my phone whereas on the keyboard I'm a good 80 wpm.
I purchased some more goodies on Etsy recently from Renee Loughlin Designs - I've written about her before. :) She was having a "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" sale and I thew a panic. I already have three pairs of earrings from her shop and the thought of it possibly closing freaked me out a little. I got these earrings I wore yesterday. Absolutely love them!
Today I am wearing a necklace that I also picked up....
From the looks of things, it looks like she decided to stay open, yay! Go check her out and tell her Pulp Sushi sent ya! Have a great weekend!

Property has what they call flow wells, one is free flowing into a large 1/2 acre pond. Don't know where others are right now have to investigate. Water smells like sulfur water, and the pond has a blueish tint to it. It was stocked with fish (so they say) by prior owners, but I guess they got sold off. They listed that koi, bass and some other kind of fish were in the pond. What are your thoughts, can Koi live in this type of water? Can Koi be kept with bass? I'm thinking what if there are some left in there I don't know about. I would like to put koi in. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sulphur makes me think of volcanic activity, which (in my experience) makes for acidic water, so the first thing I'd do is test the pH. We use white coral sand in our ponds to neutralize the constant acidification. After that, I'd try cheap mosquito fish; if they survive, move up to goldfish and eventually koi. |
Thanks steiconi I have little test kits that I use for my current ponds and aquariums, do you think I would have to do a large water analysis and who would do that kind of thing? Central Fl is known for this type of stinky water, nice to know there is a counter balance with the coral sand and that sounds pretty too. |
I would expect that all the water in your pond would have similar pH, so a small test should be enough. |
I have alot of experience with this here is a link that might help you. Pay attention to the aeration part. There is a build up of methane gas and the pond needs to be aerated. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Gabelmans Gardens blog

Surround sound from any stereo headphone for $40
IOGEAR's new audio adapter brings DTS Surround sound to stereo headphones!
I've seen these types of things before, but now Iogear has jumped into the fray with a new surround processor for stereo headphones. The product, the USB Theater Sound Xperience, is a USB audio adapter featuring DTS Surround Sensation Headphone technology. Connecting directly to a computer's USB 2.0 port, the USB Theater Sound Xperience simulates a surround-sound effect over stereo headphones or stereo speakers. It's a PC-only compatible device and will not work with Apple computers.
I have no idea what it sounds like, but I love the design; it looks like a vacuum tube! Fear not, it's a 100 percent solid-state design. The USB Theater Sound Xperience takes two-channel audio and processes it with DTS Surround Sensation Headphone technology to produce the illusion of sound appearing outside the headphones or speakers. Iogear claims 5.1-channel encoded movies gain "more life" with the USB Theater Sound Xperience's LFE (low frequency effect) mixing, which mixes low frequencies with left and right front channels for superior performance. Two 3.5mm jacks are provided for stereo microphone-in and stereo headphone-out connections.
The USB Theater Sound Xperience retails for $39.95 MSRP and is available from Iogear, Amazon, and other online retailers now.

Apr 17th 2010 8:24AM Blizz gets my subscription fee and that's it. I balked at the idea of buying pets when it was introduced and I assumed others would too but apparently I'm in a very small minority. I'm not going to argue slippery slopes and if other people want to waste money on mounts and pets it's their business, but if I start to feel the quality of items/content available in the game are slacking in any way in lieu whats purchasable, that will be enough to get me to quit over.

Dec 11th 2008 11:34PM Does this remove ALL race restrictions? Lets say back before 1.12 you sold a wolf across the cross faction AH before they were BOP; could an alliance player theoretically ride it now?

Save the Dunes Gift Shop closing in August
By Carole Carlson firstname.lastname@example.com | 648-3154 June 24, 2012 4:42PM
Volunteers Jean Buckley, left, chats with Carolyn Bach at the Save the Dunes Council gift shop in Beverly Shores Friday June 15, 2012. Buckley was purchasing a poster for her daughter. The gift shop is slated to close due to the lack of volunteers. Andy Lavalley~Sun-Times Media
End of era
The Save the Dunes Shop closes its doors Aug. 31.
It's located in Beverly Shores, 92 U.S. 12, four miles east of Indiana 49
Hours: 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday-Saturday; 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Sundays

Updated: June 24, 2012 8:42PM
BEVERLY SHORES — For four decades this small little treasure burrowed in the heart of dunes country existed solely on volunteer labor.
Customers could find original dunes paintings, South Shore posters, handmade pottery and even purses created from duct tape by a 12-year-old girl.
But as that free labor aged, replacements never emerged.
Now, it's been announced the Save the Dunes Shop will close its doors for good Aug. 31.
"The difficulties of maintaining a specialty shop with volunteers were hard and more people are shopping online and going to big-box stores," said Jeannette Neagu, president of the Save the Dunes board.
"If a wonderful fairy godmother would come along, we'd keep it open," she said. "But the younger people are just so busy."
Carolyn Bach, who has been managing the shop for about 15 years, reflected on its passing recently as cars zoomed by the business on U.S. 12, about 4 miles east of Indiana 49.
"It's amazing to think we've been staffed by volunteers seven days a week," said Bach, a retired Illinois schoolteacher who has devoted her weekends to the shop. "I've been putting in four or five shifts, you just can't do anything else," she said of the time it consumes.
Yet, there are benefits.
"The flip side is I've met so many wonderful artists and customers. They're in tears when I tell them we're closing."
Over the years, only one check has bounced, said Bach. "That says something about the quality of customers we have. And she came in and paid it the next day and made a donation."
The Save the Dunes Council, celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, plans to continue offering some of the gift shop items in mobile locations at events like Chesterton's European Market and other regional events.
Bach said women who first formed the Save the Dunes group in 1952 used to sell notecards door-to-door to raise money for environmental advocacy efforts.
Neagu said the shop was meant to be a way to raise money for Save the Dunes initiatives.
The gift shop opened in 1972 with two book titles and 100 copies of each — a book about flowers and one about sights in the dunes. Former director Charlotte Read had an office in the shop space, and often waited on customers.
Bach said she was drafted as manager in 1997 by the late Ruth Osann, former Save the Dunes board president.
Its volunteers have been dedicated and devoted, said Neagu and Bach.
"My mother worked at that shop for almost 20 years," said Neagu. "She took the South Shore from Ogden Dunes to Beverly Shores because she never drove."
All sales, from T-shirts to paintings worth hundreds of dollars, are recorded by hand into a ledger book and receipts are written out by hand.
"The volunteers said if you bring in a computer, 'I'm out,' " Bach said. The biggest concession they have to modern amenities is a large calculator.
Bach said most of the artists are melancholy over the closing.
"They're all very sad because of what the shop represents.
"To me, it's the beauty and talent that resides within us and to see it from someone else's eyes is always an awakening."

Here's an interesting story from the States with potentially serious political implications.
The US interior department's inspector general has carried out an investigation into why the government's moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, implemented in the wake of the BP oil spill, looked like it had been peer-reviewed, when it had not. Read more

i was on a jury that declared a criminal Not guilty because of confused witnesses we knew he was guilty
i was on another trial and set him free also as the cops did not act promptly
Not guilty does not mean really not guilty
"They knew there was no reason for a trial," Zakhem says. "But they not only wanted to discredit me, they wanted to destroy me and my family. If any of them was subject to the scrutiny I was subjected to and baptized by the fire I was baptized in, he would smell, as my friend [Post columnist] Chuck Green said, like a dirty diaper in the sun."
Far from breaking him, the ordeal only further inflamed Zakhem's fevered populism. Sounding eerily like Charles Duke, he grumbles about the "Gestapo tactics" of the federal government and vows, "If God ever allows me to be in a position to make laws again, I will clip the wings of the IRS. They are an extra-constitutional agency."
His only regret, he says, concerns his relationship with Kennedy, whose firm, Western Monetary Consultants, filed for bankruptcy reorganization in 1988 and was already under federal investigation at the time Zakhem joined forces with him.
"The association didn't help me," Zakhem acknowledges. "I liked him. I thought he was a decent Christian. I was not aware of the problem he was facing or the magnitude of it. When I became aware of it, I cut my relationship with him."
It's difficult to gauge what impact, if any, the Freedom Task Force's efforts had on the Gulf War itself. Arguably, the Kuwaitis got much better value for their money when they paid $12 million to public-relations giant Hill & Knowlton to orchestrate a national saber-rattling campaign; that campaign included testimony before Congress about alleged Iraqi atrocities in occupied Kuwait that was provided by a young woman known only as Nayirah--later identified as the daughter of Zakhem's good friend, Saud al Sabah.
Still, it seems clear that Zakhem's lobbying made him a rich man. And despite his acquittal, despite his claims of vindication, the venture left behind a string of troubling questions about his business judgment and his influence-peddling that could mar his bid for the state GOP chairmanship.
Indeed, the timing of Don Bain's decision to run suggests some kind of preemptive strike, generated by officials' alarm at the prospect of Sam Zakhem leading the party faithful. Zakhem can't help feeling sandbagged by the move; he says he talked to Bain twice in December--in order to be sure the chairman was stepping down--before declaring his own candidacy.
"I hope people around the state will ask, 'What the hell is going on here?'" Zakhem says. "There's nothing worse than being pushed to volunteer. It behooves those elected officials, the bigshots, to realize they're not the masters. The biggies should not pretend like they're God and impose a state chairman on the rest of us."
Bain, though, says the timing was simply coincidental. Not wanting to face "relentless lobbying" by GOP leaders at an upcoming retreat at the Broadmoor, he decided it was time to declare himself.
"I've been hesitant," he admits. "But although I'd said no, I had not said hell no. I told Sam that. I think he either heard or interpreted that as saying I was absolutely not going to run, which is not what I said."
Bain's declaration complicates matters for Zakhem. Not only does he have to take on a popular chairman--someone who, Zakhem admits, "did a good job" steering the state party through the critical 1996 elections--but he must stave off the challenge of a popular county chair, 37-year-old Steve Curtis, who also represents himself as a "populist" seeking to embrace members of the party who've been neglected by the GOP elite.
"I see Bain as the status quo and Zakhem as an interesting character, part of the old way of doing politics, and myself, obviously, as the clear contrast here," says Curtis. "This last election, we took thousands of phone calls from Republicans feeling left out of the process...I was embarrassed to belong to a party that seemed so anemic. Personally, I don't think it's above a state chair to go out and talk to people."
Neither does Sam Zakhem. "What experience does Don Bain share with the people of La Jara?" he asks. "Or Costilla County, where I went and played volleyball with the kids and spoke to the farm bureau? What does he know about Saguache?"
Sam Zakhem plans to visit all of those places and more. It's the local party officials, after all, who have the ear of the central committee and will decide on the new chairman, not the party "biggies." And Sam Zakhem wants their vote.
"I'm going to go to Weld County," he says. "I'm going to go to Park County, to Fremont County, to Chaffee County. I'm going to go to Arickaree. I'm going to go to Limon, to Hugo, to McClave, to Wiley. I'm going to seek even the Democrats and change them into Republicans."
A Zakhem-led GOP would recapture the governor's office, he says. Not that Zakhem has his eye on such a post himself; the only public office that still interests him is the U.S. Senate, he says, where he could play an active part in shaping foreign policy. But the Republicans already have a waiting list for that seat in 1998--if not Ben Campbell, then Scott McInnis, Zakhem figures. In any case, "by winning the state chairmanship, I'll be taking myself out of that race," he says.
No sacrifice is too great, though, for Sam Zakhem. Sam Zakhem merely wants to serve his party, as it's served him these many years.
"I don't mean it to sound arrogant," he says, "but America doesn't have too many Sam Zakhems.

I have some large sunflowers growing. if i cut off the flower, with the stem produce more flowers?
anyone know where there are large patches of sunflowers in the east valley of phoenix? thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Nope, they will only set as many as they are going to set. Triming off the spent blooms won't make any difference. I saw a number of wild ones a while ago but can't remember where. From the time that I went into the service until I got out sunflowers had become a big cash crop in South Dakota. My dad had planted 320 acres of them, which is one mile by a half a mile. That's alot of sunflowers. I couldn't believe, after years of fighting the d*mn things we were raising them. Take care, Bill. |

Should Telltale make the game harder, give you more opportunities to screw up, or make a bad decision so your actions feel just as important and your choices?
For example, when Ben lets the zombies in at Crawford, you can accidentally shoot Molly and I don't think you see her after that. Pretty rough. :(
Another one they could have done was in episode 3, trying to save the screaming girl from walkers. Could have taken out a couple walkers before seeing her get torn apart anyways. Then you'd have even LESS time to get supplies, making out with maybe a mere 5 pieces.
When a walker trips and grabs Kenny at the beginning of episode 4, you save him and he says it was a little too close. If you got there as fast as you could he could have said that was close, but thanks for having my back.
Do you think they should have more moments like that? Or would you rather not worry about these types of things and focus more on choices only? I personally think it would add a lot of replay value especially to see what happens when you're truly on your game. What other ways could they amp up the difficulty?

471 Ball to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram Department 33 TOKYO, 28 February 1947, 4.15 p.m.
The following are my comments on MacArthur's message to Congress.
[1] (1) in referring to the success of the occupation MacArthur's claims are much more cautious and modest than they were last year.
He continued the description of the ultimate objective of the occupation as complete spiritual reform of the Japanese people but he no longer speaks as if these reforms were completed but says 'probably are successful in the accomplishment of this purpose'.
(2) MacArthur says that the American occupation forces are the 'lowest numerical level consistent with either reasonable security or accomplishment of regeneration of an entire race'.
It is difficult to follow the argument here. If the Japanese people have proceeded as far as MacArthur and his officers claim, along the road to pacifism and democracy, it should be possible to reduce without physical danger the present strength of the Allied Forces here. Nor can I agree that the presence of tens of thousands of G.I.'s in Japan will necessarily contribute to the spiritual regeneration of the Japanese. If MacArthur envisages the possibility that he may need to intervene more directly and continuously in the work of the Government here it is trained civilians rather than soldiers he would need for such a task.
(3) I am confident that MacArthur's analysis of the food situation is detrimental and misleading. When MacArthur referred, in conversation with me a fortnight ago, to the urgent need for relief supplies of food this year I suggested that the need was not nearly as great as the statements from General Headquarters would imply. MacArthur seemed deeply concerned that I should question the validity of General Headquarters' analysis of food situation. Later at MacArthur's request I discussed this with [General] Marquat [2] I then summarised my views in a letter to Marquat. On receiving this letter, Marquat telephoned me to say that this was one of the most important documents he had received during his time in Japan, that he was calling for an immediate report from his food experts and that it appeared to him, after a careful reading of my letter, that 'some people down here have been duped'.
I have said in this letter that importation of an emergency reserve of about 400,000 tons of food was all that could be reasonably supported. S.C.A.P. had stated on February 3rd that 1,600,000 tons was the minimum necessary imports for 1947. (I am sending a copy of my letter to Marquat by bag.) (4) You will notice that when MacArthur asks for increased imports he goes on to urge the need for increased exports from Japan in order to save the American taxpayer from loss. This is connected with reparations for the American view on reparations appear[s to be] [3] to enable Japan to increase her export trade.
(5) The real danger is that American economic assistance to Japan whether by food exports or credits will bolster up more conservative Japanese groups and enable these groups to withstand internal pressure for social and economic reforms. The temptation to support these groups must be great since, however much S.C.A.P.
may deplore people like Yoshida and Ishibashi, he now feels that he can at least rely on Japan as Allies against Communism and the Soviet Union.

Hello friends
From what I can read on the forums, the option of playing with the "New Caprica" destination didn't garner much love.
Now, I can't say this was very different here : we did a couple of unsatisfactory tests, and simply reverted to Kobol objective.
Come to think of it, one of the reasons why I'm not too fond of NC add-on it is that it simply happens too late in the game : it sort of breaks the rythm and slows down the events, while most players at this point (after several hours sitting around the table) are eager for a quick conclusion.
I was rewatching this awesome show, start of the New Caprica arc-story (beginning of S3), and thus was willing to have a new try at it … when an odd idea occured to me.
Do you think the interest for NC would shift if, instead of making it the ending of the session, we made this board the beginning situation ?
Now, it certainly creates some problems (Cylons can't act too overtly, as they would reveal themselves far too early in the game), but has anyone already considered this possibility ?
Thanks for your feedback about this idea
