Amish text states vociferously that a Quackenbush should not render thou's biblical nature moot. Stating, "Eroticism is the devil's electricity, and our brains should not be hardwired to flip any switches when our nature's bell rings. You may want to churn butter into the Quackenbush–" I just realize I had a smudge on my Amish Schoolchildren Early Education textbook and it's not Quacken, it's Quaker. That is my bad. So, Joaquin Benoit could be headed to the DL, and even if he's not, he's dealing with a shoulder issue and may not be effective. In every league I needed saves, I'd grab Kevin Quackenbush. And, if truly desperate, I'd even grab Dale Thayer. As for a Quaker bush, well, caution is advised. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jason Grilli
As many of you know, Bruce Bochy has the biggest head in the major leagues. As a player, when he was traded, he would have to take his helmet with him to his new club because the new team wouldn't have a helmet big enough for him. It made traveling easier, since everything he needed would fit inside the helmet. We all know the story about how when Giants rookie, Joe Panik, was called up, he forgot to make arrangements to stay somewhere in the San Fran area, so he draped a sheet over Bochy's cap and slept in there. Lots of good has come of Bochy's giant melon. Of course, the 27-pound bowling ball has its drawbacks. Like when he went to see Toy Story and blocked half the audience. Lots of angry parents that day. Or the time he was in South Dakota and people starting climbing up his side thinking he was Mount Rushmore. Sometimes what would take a person with a normal-sized head a week or two to figure out, thoughts bounce around in Bochy's Metrodome much longer. So when Sergio Romo wasn't good for the month of May, then again in June, it took longer for Bochy to realize a change was needed, but he finally figured it out. Bochy said Santiago Casilla would replace Romo, then he banged the side of his head for 15 minutes waiting for another thought, and finally it came out that Jeremy Affeldt would see some situational saves, as long as Gilbert Gottfried isn't introducing Affeldt at games. Yesterday, Affeldt got hit, and Casilla looked solid as he has all year. I'd grab Casilla in all leagues if you're SAGNOF'ing around for saves. Hopefully, even if Bochy thinks about putting Romo back in the role, it takes a few weeks for that thought to land in the right spot in his cavernous whale head. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well, you should be sorry, Ronald Belisario. You have been pretty rough on your owners since stepping into the closer role, testing the limits of SAGNOF and just how much pain a fantasy owner will endure to capture those elusive saves. Belisario was at it again last night and gave up three hits and two runs to the Blue Jays, recording just one out before being removed from the game. In just 12 innings pitched since inheriting the job, Ronny has surrendered 10 ER on 20 hits with three blown saves in in that time. More like RonaldO-No! Hey, a World Cup pun, how topical. In Belisario's defense, he did manage eight saves during his stay as closer, but that's more a testament to Manager Robin Ventura sticking with him this long. Well, Ventura has had enough. Alrighty then, Ventura, who's your closer now? Jake Petricka finished out the game last night and notched his second save of the season. Petricka has a 2.08 ERA and 1.27 WHIP on the year and looks like the most likely choice to take over the closer role. Javy Guerra, Zach Putnam and Daniel Webb could also be names to watch and see chances were the Sox to go to a committee. Whatever the case, Ronald is out. And although he may not apologize for killing your ratios over the past month, you can drop him now, which is definitely something you won't have to feel sorry about.
Please, blog, may I have some more?It was a good night for a rally, but a bad night for a closer. Summer is officially here which means we can no longer use the "he'll heat up as soon the weather warms up" excuse for our struggling stars. And just as the air at Coors makes the balls fly higher, the increased temperature and humidity also causes those baseballs to travel even farther. This time of year the advantage tends to shift from the pitchers to the hitters. It's science, Mr. White! Fact. Just go ask a scientist. He'll tell you summer is coming, Jon Snuh, no need to look so depressed all of the time. Perhaps this explains why last night, on Summer's Eve, a number of closers collectively decided to destroy your ratios in an all out Closer Catastrophe. Let's start with Zach Britton (0.2 IP, 3 hits, 4 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, BS (2)). I haven't seen a Yankee beat a Britton like that since the Battle of Saratoga. Revolutionary war joke! (NERD!) With nine saves in the past month, it's hard for Britton's owners to complain here, so let's move on. Old Reliable Glen Perkins (1.0 IP, 4 hits, 2 ER, 1 BB), was handed his third blown save but managed his third win, in expert vulture stylez. The crowning jewel of last night's CloserTastrophe, Aroldis Chapman (0.2 IP, 2 hits, 2 BB, 4 ER) was handed the loss after a five run ninth inning capped off by a 3-run HR by Edwin Encarnacion. Say it ain't so, Roldy! Is no one safe? With Craig Kimbrel (1.0 IP, 1 hit, 2 BB, 1 ER) notching his fourth blown save I should think not. Anthony Rendon hit a game-tying HR (11) off Craig, the first homer Kimbrel has surrendered all season. Are you getting scared yet? Was there a full moon last night or something? How about Greg Holland (1.0 IP, 3 hits, 2 BB, 2 ER) taking his second loss. This one was tied when he entered but stillz. By this time in the night when I saw Kenley Jansen (0.2 IP, 3 ER, 3 hits) enter the game with one run lead, I knew it could only end poorly. Escape while you can, Kenley! Fake a stomach cramp or something! He was handed his third blown save of the year. Sure, I'm ignoring all the closers who did manage to notch saves last night, but that's not the point. It was a tough night to be a closer, but an even tougher night to own one in fantasy baseball. I feel your pain, all.
Here's what else happened in fantasy baseball Friday night:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Or is it Jean a buy quoi? Voulez-vous coucher avec moi Segura? Mmm hmmm gotcha gotcha Segura da da? A little help! I'm stuck in a Moulin Rouge-inspired snow globe and I can't get out! For those of you that don't speak French, but do speak fourteen-year-old text: Jean Seg-U-R-A Buy! Jean Segura has done a lot of bleh with a side of roasted yawnuts. "I see you sitting there on my team and I wonder if I wouldn't be better with Asdrubal, at least his name makes me giggle," that's you wearing a beret, listening to jazz. I hear ya on Segura; he's been a bore to own. The good news (if you don't own him) is he has been a bore to own, so you could acquire him for next to nothing. Right now, he's on pace for 8 HRs, 30 steals and a .260 average with 74 runs and 49 RBIs. Last year, when he broke out, he had 12 steals and 44 steals and a .294 average with 74 runs and 49 RBIs. So, he's off on average and steals, the rest is negligible. Well, I'd go as far as to say it's all a negligible difference. If he were to hit for a better average by getting maybe three extra hits a week, wouldn't his steals go up and his counting stats? Rhetorical! So, is he capable of a better average? Certainly. Or sointly, if you're reading this in a Curly voice. He's fast — no shock there — so a .300+ BABIP wouldn't be a stretch, and right now it's below .280. If his luck just neutralizes, he'll hit for a better average. It's not like his strikeouts have gone up — they've actually gone down. It's not he's not making solid contact — his line drive percentage has gone up too. He's hitting more ground balls and they're getting caught. I wouldn't trade the farm, but I'd definitely look to see if I could acquire him. Anyway, here's some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Sciosciapath gave Ernesto Frieri the dreaded vote of confidence the other day, so, of course, he wasn't there when a save presented itself in the 10th inning of a 3-1 game. Cam Bedrosian entered the game with his 10+ ERA. He's the one guy I would trust less than Frieri, but not to worry, The Sciosciapath had Frieri come in once Bedrosian was in a jam, and Ernesto promptly gave up a grand slam to Nick Swisher, who is batting .200 this year. Joe Smith would seemingly be used to get all future saves, but The Sciosciapath ties his shoes with Crazy Glue and uses the non-pronged side of the fork to eat and thinks Alan Hunter was better than Martha Quinn and once bought Styrofoam peanuts to snack on and his voicemail is "Siri, how do you leave an outgoing voicemail message?" and he thinks arithmetic is the work of witches, so I have no idea where he's going the next time the Angels have the lead in the ninth. He says they'll go to a committee, but I'd own Smith. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Gregory Polanco broke out Friday night, collecting five hits, scoring two runs, and hitting the go ahead 2-run home run in the 13th inning to win it for the Bucs. Polancopacetic! The Polancomeback (the first of many!) gives his fantasy owners good reason to be excited, too. The home run was his first major league jack and someone better grab that ball and display it at the Carnegie Museum because this kid's gonna be a star! Ha-cha-cha! I guess the Fish that Saved Pittsburgh was a Polancod. Oh geez. That was bad, I apologize. After dominating AAA batting .347 with 47 runs, 7 homers, 49 RBI and 15 stolen bases in 62 games, Polanco was off to a slow start in the majors, hitting just 3-for-14 in his first three games. But he busted out in a big way last night, and those who stashed him have got to be feeling real good. Between Giancarlo, George Springer and Mike Trout, I don't know if have room in my life for another player obsession, you can only stalk so many players in a 24-hour span, and the constant travel and hiding in bushes is exhausting. More importantly I don't think I have room in my locker for all the Tiger Beat photos I'll need to cut out and post of him. But I guess I will have to make room for you now Gregory Polanco! Let's be friends.
Here's what else happened Friday night in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?The job in Tampa isn't as pretty as it used to be, as the team is super underachieving, and not in a superhero-footed pajamas kinda way. Joe Maddon looks like he needs an executive parachute, even though he is a hoot to listen to during an interview. I think he is waiting for someone to jump and run with the job. Jake McGee, Joel Peralta or even the artist formally known as Leo Nunez may be the most obvious and experienced options, but I have another one for ya: Kirby Yates. I didn't make that up. He reminds me of what Jim Henderson did two years ago with the Brewers. Career journeyman, decent, but nothing stands out about his minor league numbers… then boom. K -ates in the minors are above 12 for the last 3 seasons, and he has over 50 saves during that same time. Tampa is the place to rehab relievers, and Korean War shrapnel wounds, so crazier things have happened. Kyle Farnsworth, Fernando Rodney, Troy Percival, Danys Baez, Lance Carter, Al Reyes…. you get the point. The rule with closers is: It's better to be first then not at all. So if time and space are in alignment and Rod Serling is already taken, pounce. Stick around, it's a good week to speculate on saves and save-nots.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I've been asked to take over for Dan Pants today. He must be on a bender or something. Or maybe he's getting that vasectomy he's been talking about. Anyways, it looks like there is a new rivalry in town. Tampa and Boston are quickly overthrowing the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry. Two fights in, two separate games in under two weeks. David Price hit David Ortiz in the first inning, and then Mike Carp a few innings later. Somehow Price wasn't ejected, even though there were warnings issued after the first beaning. The Sox had four ejections: two managers, a coach, and Brandon Workman (who threw behind Evan Longoria after the first two HBPs). Still, the Sox managed to win 3-2 in 10 innings. If you own players on either team, be on the lookout for suspensions. Here's what else happened throughout the league Friday evening:
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Yankees are now in the fray to sign Kendrys Morales. A 30-year-old guy who seems to be five years older than he is and can't play any position? The Yankees are interested in that? C'mon! Next thing you know, the Yankees are going to be linked with trading for Jason Giambi or coaxing Greg Luzinski out of retirement. What's Ron Kittle up to? Why are the Yanks so interested in ex-White Sox players? Garry Templeton's got some gams! So, I do think Kendrys will be signed in the next week-plus and now is around the time when you should consider stashing him. He can give a solid prorated season — think 17 homers, decent average and counting stats. I have no idea what kind of shape he's going to be in or how long he'll need to play in minor league games to get up to speed, but I'd guess if he signs within two weeks, he'll be on the field by the third week of June, at the latest. It's a long time to stash a guy that won't be able to be DL'd, so keep that in mind. Or stash Greg Luzinski. The Bull's seeing red! Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Gerber, Ans URN etd-02012006-114935 Document Title The influence of second language teaching on undergraduate mathematics performance Degree MSc (Mathematics Education) Department Mathematics and Applied Mathematics Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof J C Engelbrecht Committee Chair Dr A F Harding Committee Co-Chair Keywords
- no key words available
Date 2004-05-08 Availability unrestricted Abstract Understanding abstract concepts and ideas in mathematics if instruction takes place in the first language of the student is challenging as it is. Yet worldwide students often have to master mathematics via a second or even a third language and this is a recognised problem. The majority of students in South Africa – a country with eleven official languages – have to face this difficulty.What is the extent of the linguistic disadvantage (if any) of South African second language students?
With the language challenges that South Africa faces today with respect to education as a backdrop, I report on a quantitative investigation into this problem specifically for the case of tertiary mathematics students, focussing on Afrikaans first language learners.
The performance of Afrikaans first language students who attend Afrikaans lectures is compared to that of the Afrikaans first language students who attend English lectures. In a further investigation I explore the influence that second language instruction has on students from African cultures. All the students study at the University of Pretoria.
The study shows that in the comparison of the average performances of the two Afrikaans first language groups, there is no significant difference in the first year university calculus performances, but at secondary school level the Afrikaans students who attend English lectures at university level achieve better results.
When the means are adjusted by removing the influence of school mathematics achievement, the adjusted average performance of the Afrikaans group that attend English lectures differ significantly from that of the Afrikaans group that attend Afrikaans lectures. As a result both of the analyses suggest that, based on mathematics achievement, Afrikaans students who attend English lectures may be at a disadvantage to Afrikaans students attending English lectures do.
The study also indicates that the African students' performances do not differ significantly from that of the Afrikaans students who attend English lectures (both of these groups attend second language lectures). In the comparison of the pooled groups of first language learners and second language learners, there does not seem to be any significant difference between the adjusted mean performances of these groups.

364 Critchley to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram K205 BATAVIA, 11 December 1948, 6 p.m.
Netherlands report of direct talks [1] was received today, December 11th. The Netherlands delegation emphasised that:
(a) It has become clear that the Republican Government cannot exercise control over its Armed Forces and therefore that effective co-operation on part of the Republic to combat infringements of Truce cannot be expected;
(b) Republican point of view regarding powers of High Representative of the Crown and particularly regarding his control over Armed Forces is fundamentally irreconcilable with the Netherlands sovereignty as formulated in the first Additional Renville Principle [2];
(c) That refusal to recognise Netherlands Sovereignty during the interim period nullified acceptance by the Republic of the draft agreement submitted by the United States delegation [3] on September 10th, 1948 as a basis for negotiations;
(d) Netherlands Government must now proceed to promulgate decree setting up Federal Interim Government leaving open, however, the possibility of future admission of the Republican held areas.
2. Statement concludes 'The Netherlands Government regrets that negotiations under the auspices of the Committee at this stage are futile' in that the Republican Government does not 'in fact recognise either truce or Renville Principles and basis for agreement is fundamentally lacking'.
I shall endeavour to ensure that Committee's report to Security Council which will probably be cabled tomorrow is as strong as possible and makes it clear that further progress towards a peaceful settlement depends on the Council's decisions. I believe the United States may support direction from Council that formation of Interim Federal Government without Republic be postponed and that parties resume negotiations on basis of United States plan. At any rate this course will be recommended by Cochran.
3. Netherlands case depends basically on evoking a part of Article I of 6 Additional Principles while ignoring the remainder of the Article calling for guaranteed date for transfer of sovereignty.

How much ground space would you need for John Davis Rose? I know it gets to be about 8 Ft Tall. Would you need about a 3 x 3 ft space, 4 x 4, or what? Does it mainly grow tall or do you need alot of room on the ground also? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Judy, I have 3 of these roses. One is new. The other 2 have grown very tall around 6-7 feet. They grow wide, around 3 or 4 feet, but I prune the side branches to encourage growth upward. Its a great rose that gets some powdery mildew towards the end of the gardening season. I don't spray my roses since I have 3 dogs and they love to be in the garden. I'm sure that you can use some commercial product to get rid of it. Other than that, you'll love this rose for the heavy flush of blooms, hardiness, and sheer beauty. |

[SVT]Donny Brasco
24th Apr 2000, 12:53 PM
I have WinProxy that shares a cable modem to another computer. The way it works is that there are 2 network cards physicaly in the WinProxy machine which means that it also has 2 IP addresses. One of the IP's is the external (cable modem) and the other one is the internal (which attaches to my lan). I have it set up with default settings which includes a firewall. I have figured out how to play games and everything through it (from client machines) and it works great, the only problem that I am having now is the fact that I can not run a game server off of my client machines. It talks to the master servers just fine and says that it is all connected and ready to go, but for some reason nobody connects, even after days of leaving a dedicated server on. I think that it might have something to do with the fact that there is a firewall (which when I turn it off, it doesn't do anything different at all) or since the PC that is actualy running the game server has an IP that only will regester through my internal lan. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on how to run a game server through this kind of setup. Thanx.

Total Value Rating
The TVR graph is the TPR score divided by the price of the video card. The price of the video card is based on the list price of the model on Newegg.com. In the event the card isn't listed, it will be based on the U.S. $ MSRP given to us by the manufacturer.
In the event we can't source a price from either, the product will not receive a TVR rating. As with our TPR graph, the amount of video cards on the list will grow over time and the price of the model won't change from what it was when first reviewed. For this reason the U.S. $ price that the card is based off will be included next to the name of the model.
In the event you want to find the TVR rating yourself based on the current price, all you have to do is simply divide the TPR number by the list price.
TVR numbers are rounded to the nearest whole number; 100.3 will be 100; 100.8 will be 101 and 100.5 will be rounded down to 100.
Most surprising out of everything, though, is the hyper aggressive $195 USD price tag MSI are throwing on the model. That price tag and the out of the box performance helps the overall value of the card sit atop the mountain.

UFO Over Houston, Texas Causes A Stir
September 1, 2014 on 7:07 am | In NEWS, UFO PICTURES, UFO VIDEOS, UFOlogy, UFOs, Unidentified Flying Object, YouTube | No CommentsThis video shows some photos of a reported UFO over Houston Texas in early August.
This isn't the only time UFO s have been reported over Houston or even Dallas, Texas. There have been some quite surprising multiple witness UFO sightings in Texas the past several years. It doesn't mean alien invasion though.
We have to be careful when reporting UFOs to not jump to conclusions. In this series of photos all we see are lights. Nothing definitive. UFOlogy has a ton of photos and videos collected over the past 70 years and none are conclusive to the point of nailing any mysterious or occluded origins.
With all the cellphone and security cameras now all over the planet, if there are any craft to be captured on video it hasn't happened yet.
All we can do is keep on being vigilant and shoot footage when possible.
Stand By, More UFO Info To Come
May 1, 2014 on 1:31 am | In Close Encounter Of The Third Kind, History, UFO PICTURES, UFO VIDEOS, UFOlogy, UFOs | No CommentsHey gang,
Hold on while I put out some personal fires and get back to some worthy UFO news.
The UFO issue is still popping up and better images are being gathered. That's been a bone of contention because there aren't enough clear enough videos and pics of UFOs to make heads or tails out of.
Add to that the big headed arrogance and self importance of some UFO researchers continues to muddy the waters of UFO research. More people are looking for U.S. disclosure of UFOs but that's not going to happen because your's truly has an inside scoop or two as to why this won't happen. In the meantime you all out there keep doing your research but under no circumstance get near a UFO if you see one. I can't emphasize this more for your physical and mental well being. I'll go into this further.
Don't be like some irresponsible people thinking that if they contact a UFO, or a Close Encounter of the Third Kind, that some alien beings are going to welcome you and share the secrets of the universe. Not gonna happen. Same goes for people claiming to have contact with "aliens" who give them messages to share with mankind. Believe me, if there were alien beings smart enough to make it to Earth, pick you up and convey a message they would be aware of radio and television and could do the job themselves.
The UFO field is rife with con artists, self important researchers, and real dangers. It's not worth your sanity or health to risk just to try to prove something the media nor government will support you on.
The people will give the final decision on this issue and the governments that have been hiding and stonewalling will fall apart as they should from being deceptive and abusive.
So hold on, more news to come.
October 17, 2013 on 11:03 pm | In ALIEN ABDUCTION, CELEBRITIES, Close Encounter Of The First Kind, Close Encounter Of The Second Kind, Close Encounter Of The Third Kind, extraterrestrial, Flying Saucers, History, Paranormal, Roswell, UFO VIDEOS, UFOlogy, UFOs | No CommentsThe late movie director Ed Wood Jr. left us a legacy of the most unusual movies ever filmed. He is known as the worst director of all time and his classic movie "Plan 9 From Outer Space" stands alone in cinematic history.
It tells the tale of space aliens using human bodies, dead bodies to carry out their invasion plans. Oddball but it coughed up laughs and scares in the old days and more laughs today.
However, what if Ed Wood Jr. was telling his tale based on the truth?
I for one have some information that not only did Ed Wood Jr. have access to top level UFO information I also know whom he got it from. This is a blockbuster of a disclosure but it fit like a glove.
It all wraps itself around the Hudson Valley, the hotspot of UFOs where Ed Wood Jr. grew up. Tales of aliens and other strange beings go back before the settlers here and now the truth can be told if the public can take it. So stand by.
Stand by and a warning…
June 3, 2013 on 10:05 am | In CELEBRITIES, CRYPTOZOOLOGY, History, NEWS, UFOlogy | No CommentsHold on gang. Will be reporting in soon with some more info and a warning.
Yes, a warning. It involves two dangers regarding UFO research that I've been reticent to discuss but since it has a hometown tie I have to bring it up.
In the meantime, I'll be writing an article for Bob Morningstar at UFO Digest Magazine regarding Bigfoot of all things. What's extra fun is the artwork for the covermis being done by my friend Darren "Hubba Hubba" Floughton who is one of the top tattoo and modern punk illustrators. So stand by.

Stem Cells And UFO Abductions: Are Your Stem Cells What They're Really After?
January 14, 2013 on 8:37 pm | In ALIEN ABDUCTION, Close Encounter Of The First Kind, Close Encounter Of The Second Kind, Close Encounter Of The Third Kind, Exobiology, extraterrestrial, History, UFOlogy, UFOs | No CommentsThis is going to be a post for the records. Let me
try to be as clear as possible as I've not seen anyone
mention this before.
Stem cells. They're all over the news as the new miracle
in modern medicine and for good reason. I work in the
stem cell industry and can attest to seeing miracles occur.
There's much confusion regarding what stem cells are and
the controversy surrounding them but as one who gets to
talk to the top doctors, patients, researchers, and press I can
tell you that when all is said and done medicine as we know
it is about to take a major turn for the better.
This is no joke nor am I going to snake oil what these cells
can do. There are clinical trial conclusions that you can see
for yourself. As I type this the push for the FDA to approve
some of these treatments is on in full. Here is one briefing that
will knock your socks off. It's regarding CIRM's cardiac stem
cell approach. Needless to say the results astounded even the
doctor who pioneered this procedure.
There are embryonic stem cells that our doctors don't approve of
and instead push for using one's own stem cells called adult
stem cells. Embryonic stem cells tend to form tumors. There's
a whole monster debate about that and the Supreme Court of the
U.S. just announced their decisions on the issue.
Let me cut to the chase here. I myself am getting cardiac stem
cell treatments. I've sent many people to get treatments and all
are on their feet and happy and healthy. While going over the
procedures we use to extract and grow the stem cells I kept
having flashbacks to abductee stories. Suddenly it dawned on me
that maybe our visitors, the abductors were harvesting stem cells
not just DNA. Bingo, it all made sense. Unless you know what
stem cells can do you won't get the full picture. To me this cements
the abductee stories. Things got scary real quick.
See, with stem cells they can differentiate into any other cell in the body.
We're now able to grow organs like hearts and so on and the technology
is rapidly progressing. Yes, Dr. Doris Taylor one of the foremost people
in stem cells is doing just this.
At Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles Dr. Eduardo
Marban has achieved cardiac stem cell results that a few years ago science
said was impossible to achieve. We're not talking second raters here, we're
talking the best scientists we've got. My own boss Don Margolis
http://www.repairstemcells.org who had
the first commercially successful cardiac stem cell treatment center back in
2004 has been forecasting these advances years and damn near to the date.
As I watched the procedures again I kept thinking about abductees.
It's gotta be stem cells. Chimeras too. Hybrids. It all makes sense. This is
why some people get abducted and some families. It's their stem cell lines.
See, we can program our stem cells. It's amazing but also recent research
shows our stem cells do far more amazing things than we'd imagined.
It's not too far fetched to see that manipulating the body via stem cells can
increase life spans to unimaginable lengths and perhaps our abductors know
this. It makes being an abductee a step up. Maybe abductees have those
certain plusses that allow them to survive better. Perhaps in the distant past
the secret of stem cells was discovered. It's a good bet that those doing
the abducting know all about the power of stem cells and it's better than
even money we will be catching up real soon.

UFO Disclosure Meeting Turned Out To Be Just What I Predicted
September 29, 2012 on 2:11 am | In extraterrestrial, Flying Saucers, History, NEWS, UFOlogy, UFOs, Unidentified Flying Object | 8 CommentsAs I had written earlier that the vaunted meeting of military officials at the National Atomic Testing Museum with the lecture entitled "Military UFOs: Secrets Revealed" wouldn't turn up anything new.
Even though Lt. Col. Robert Friend, a real American WWII hero and one of the legendary Tuskegee Airman and Project Blue Book head did come forward to say that UFOs are real and need to be studied scientifically, it wasn't anything new. We the people already knew that UFOs are real but the explanations as to the origins of UFOs including the ETH or Extraterrestrial Hypothesis had not been honorably addressed by our government for almost 70 years.
At first the government came clean and even proposed the ETH but then backpeddled in the early '50s and as more people came forward with their own reports the attacks on character, illegal incarceration in psychiatric hospitals, retribution, and worse kept on well into the mid 1990s. The internet allowed the average person to get information that was kept from them by government and industry. We had to get our own answers and still the U.S. Government and it's clandestine groups continued to lie, undermine and stonewall.
Anyone who has kept on top of the UFO phenom can tell you about the monumental tasks by such people as the late Congressman Steven Schiff and Harvard professor John E. Mack in getting to the bottom of this phenom. Congressman Schiff had to get the GAO ( General Accounting Office ) to force the Pentagon to give up an explanation into the Roswell Incident only to find out for some strange reason the files from that time period were illegally destroyed yet the Pentagon hadn't taken the time to inform the American People who the files belonged to. Dr. Mack who was persecuted by Harvard University had to fight to keep his tenure as head of their psychiatric division because his official medical conclusion was that roughly people who experienced UFO abductions weren't pathological but that we needed to study the phenom more. That pissed off the mainstream psychiatric community that makes a fortune pushing dangerous mind altering drugs. If you notice, Harvard didn't go after these dope pushers who have been destroying lives but instead go after their head, tenured professor because he took a look at a phenomenon that others were too cowardly to confront.
Hence this new panel of military officials including our friend Nick Pope from the UK who investigated UFOs for the British Government and realized there was something more to the UFO issue. He then went on his own to investigate further and has helped in a major way to get disclosure.
When this panel was announced I felt a little skepticism because in all honesty we've had enough panels and data. As a matter of fact we have so much evidence it's at the point of overwhelm. We have so many eyewitness reports and more coming in daily thanks to the web. With thousands of online radio programs that also have on the air broadcasting, the subject of UFOs is one of global proportions. We have untold numbers of videos and pictures and so far the material evidence doesn't say "extraterrestrial" but then again where would you send such materials? Lab costs are expensive and security too.
The average UFOlogist isn't well funded so we had to rely on basic scientific and journalistic methods and that's done quite well. Since we UFOlogists in the U.S. cannot expect any official government assistance in this matter we need to look at what the public sector has acquired and go with that. Some elitists out there look down their noses on what the public has acquired but in all honesty the public UFOlogists have done the courageous job that the paid government officials have grossly failed to do.
It may not be rocket science but it has something mainstream science really needs and that's called backbone.
This panel covered material most UFOlogists and aficionados already knew. To call on the U.S. government to now hold scientific research doesn't make any sense. They've not cooperated in almost 60 years so why would we pay them to lie and stonewall again?
We don't need them, and besides, it's too late.
Too late for what? Well let's use some simple logic here. The exotic occupants of these UFOs who experiment on people and animals, I didn't say extraterrestrial mind you, have exhibited technologies far in advance of what the conventional technologies the public is aware of and the military won't acknowledge as possessing. Such beings obviously have a grasp on science we're nowhere near comprehending. If they've been abducting people and studying us and our technologies then they're even farther than we can imagine. They've probably already got the info they wanted while our governments sat around on their hands. What would a new investigation glean? That we should have acted when we had the chance and informed the public when we should have instead of having allowed the atrocities against our freedoms.
Too late Lt. Col. Friend. The so called aliens or whatever have won.
In essence we need to shut down any attempts to deal with the U.S. government regarding UFOs. At this point the people and professionals that have risked their careers and lives to have brought us the valuable data we have today should be acknowledged for their bravery. The entire issue is done. Our science may not be up to finding all the explanations to UFOs but so far we know that there are advanced aircraft, sea craft, spacecraft, strange and exotic beings and technologies that have been part of the human landscape for as far as recorded history.
Right now the only thing we can do regarding this phenomenon is to just gather basic data and not give in to unfounded stories. Any claims of any messages from these beings regarding political and social issues should be tossed to the side unless they feel like coming forward and appearing on the evening news.
We should really pay attention to this part of UFOlogy. To keep the fringe element that grabs any tidbit and turns it into some sensational nonsense that causes undo alarm and menace. We have enough problems in this field of research but we shouldn't be so condescending to those who take the data and run wild. It's a human thing to do so. What we need to do is stand up when these people or organizations raise their heads that extraterrestrials gave them messages to give to mankind and tell them to prove it or sit down and chill out.
The intelligences behind these abductions and frightening events need to put up or shut up. No more mystery messages as they're about a dime a dozen. The truth may come out that the ETH cannot be proven which would upset the "there has to be aliens" crowd. If it is proven then those who have unsubstantiated fears of such might exhibit psychotic breaks that would fill the hospital beds from one end of the planet to another.
Finally, the best advice I would have liked the panel to have said is that UFOs are a subject that requires clear thinking and responsible research done by the public and not the government.

Don't Hold Your Breath Regarding New UFO Panel's Secrets Revealed
September 22, 2012 on 3:02 am | In NEWS, UFOlogy, UFOs | No CommentsHuffington Post Covers UFO Secrecy Panel
Yet another gathering of UFO experts and witnesses is about to reveal more UFO secrets according to this Huffington Post article.
I and other UFOlogists were aware of this panel convening as the gentlemen who are taking part are og considerable credibility. They're not some guys who came in off the boat but are military officers who have taken part in official investigations such as Project Blue Book.
This event is taking place at the National Atomic Testing Museum and is called "Military UFOs: Secrets Revealed" and has been touted as being the venue of venues where some new and startling information, never before revealed will be presented.
I say don't hold your breath.
Why? Because we don't need another panel. We have 70 years of UFO investigation evidence to the point of overwhelming. The public and the UFO researchers should pat themselves on the back with the job they've done regarding investigating UFOs. The U.S. government hasn't been a big help and this panel of experts might reveal why. Let me be clear here. We have tons of every kind of evidence except physical proof regarding the extraterrestrial hypothesis which is what most public and media are interested in. Without any proof, although there is lots of evidence we must be cautious.
In UFOlogy there are so many credible witnesses it's at the point of overwhelm. Same goes for pictures, film, video. There are so many trace cases and other evidence that to ignore it all would be irresponsible. This panel of military officers is expected to reveal something never before encountered but for all intents and purposes what could they tell us that we don't already know or could surmise? The only thing I'd be interested in are more facts regarding the persons in government and industry who've hampered research efforts but I doubt that will happen.
As UFOlogy stands now, only concrete proof should be entertained. After 70 years of lies, mishaps, frauds, dead ends it's time to do the science but also remember that if we cannot get a solid answer it might mean we don't have the science yet to do the science.
August 10, 2012 on 9:47 pm | In UFO PICTURES, UFO VIDEOS, UFOlogy, UFOs | No CommentsLOOKING FOR UFO EVIDENCE
The study of UFOs is a vast one comprising not only the modern age of related items but also those of the distant past. One can study UFOs for years and get boggled down with a wide variety of opinions and theories but the important question remains that of where is all the UFO evidence?
Actually there is a mass amount of UFO evidence ranging from UFO photos, UFO videos, eyewitness accounts, trace cases which are physical effects on the surrounding environment where a UFO sighting has occurred, scientific and government documents and untold news stories.
First, the best form of evidence is that of something physical, however it is the most elusive. As of this date no concrete evidence supporting the extraterrestrial hypothesis exists. Many people have claimed they have in their possession an alien fingernail, skin samples, vomit, you name it but none have been proven conclusive. Debris from reported crash sites still come up inconclusive even after having been through a battery of tests. This form of evidence is the most prized yet just because none have been proven doesn't mean none exists. It is very expensive to have tests done on such materials and the average person and cash strapped UFOlogist just can't flow enough money for the detailed analysis such a claim would call for.
As for UFO videos and pictures they're in abundance, however, with the advent of modern day computer wizardry it is very difficult for the average person to tell reality from deception. Nowadays up and coming special effects artists know that they can gain international fame by faking a UFO video. It has become quite common for there to be several posted on such sites as YouTube. Once said videos go viral it causes confusion within the professional UFO community. This is why the hardcore UFO researchers lean on photographic evidence prior to the days of Photoshop and other software. The classic photos and films are easier to analyze and have history to back them up.
As for other forms of UFO evidence there are official government documents that have emerged over the decades. Some directly from the US government and other governments and some through exhausting Freedom of Information Act legal recourse. Documents emerge with some tantalizing data but the overwhelming majority are "blacked out" or edited when in regard to the United States. Over the years such dramatic documents as the "MJ Twelve" which stands for "Majestic Twelve" have emerged and are still the subject of great debate. These documents emerged in the mid 1980s and comprise extensive and detailed data pertaining to a control group of twelve men from the military and civilian scientific communities that were charged with handling the UFO phenomenon. Since the original documents have yet to be found there can be no forensic investigation but the dates and actions and associations of the men listed have been examined and data gleaned that supports the theory that the group did exist.
Trace cases are the best UFO evidence we have to date because we can examine the ground, the soil, flora, and fauna to see if they've been effected somehow by the presence of a reported UFO. Witnesses who've reported a UFO on their front lawn can have a researcher examine it to see if any sign of the presence of a UFO is present. Changes in plant or animals, soil, are tested and evaluated to determine the changes and what could have caused such changes. Some people can be affected too with reports of burns, skin rashes, blindness, hearing loss and more. Often looked for are radiation burns or chemical affects. This evidence is highly valuable and should not be overlooked.
Eyewitness testimony gets an unfair look when discussing UFO evidence. There is nothing short of 100s of thousands if not millions of reports from highly accredited people ranging from heads of state to top scientists, military personnel and more. A person's vantage point, education, and evaluation of an event and then through recall comes into question here. Certainly some people haven't the best of memories and in a state of heightened alert might not process information sharply, however, human beings have been in situations of such alert since the dawn of time especially in combat situations and fared quite well. So the value of UFO evidence from a witness is on a case by case basis and best evaluated by a professional.
Overall, no one can say there isn't enough UFO evidence. All they can say is that none of it is conclusive as of yet. There is every bit of evidence in abundance save for physically examined data that concludes something extraterrestrial is afoot.
August 6, 2012 on 5:10 pm | In Close Encounter Of The First Kind, Close Encounter Of The Second Kind, Close Encounter Of The Third Kind, extraterrestrial, Flying Saucers, History, NEWS, UFOlogy, UFOs | No CommentsSit back readers. I was going to bow out of this UFO stuff because of various reasons but as soon as you think you're out, they pull you back in.
That's a reference to the line delivered by Academy Award winning actor Al Pacino in the movie "The Godfather Part III".
First of all, I'm a researcher. I worked in the mainstream news industry for many years for the Gannet News Service, the biggest in the country. I was stationed in the Hudson Valley at one of the oldest newspapers in the country. We had so many UFO reports it was at times overwhelming. Often the sightings were dismissed as people flying light aircraft and in particular from one club. I know the reporter who covered that story and the police officer who reported it. As you can tell, just one reporter and one police officer doesn't solve a case and both of them were covering up I can tell you personally.
On to the breaking stories.
I've got two witnesses. One the victim of an attack by an actual saucer and the other reports the story of her father and uncle, both WWII heroes who actually were part of a military strike force whose mission it was to hunt and engage in combat with flying saucers and other UFOs.
That's right, there was and still is an active branch or two of our government, hidden from the public that deals with UFOs after years of the military and government lying to us about them. What's better is they government can't cover this story up nor erase the information and people because the people involved went on to great public service and popularity. The government can't say these people didn't exist or weren't at such and such a base or didn't engage in such actions because there are 100s of thousands of documents to back the story up including news and radio archives. How this slipped past the other UFOlogists is understandable and normally I would forward such data to the real UFOLogists but there's been a conflict. That I won't get into as I too hate the suspensfull bs you get with some UFO reports.
Anyhow, this witness tells of the exploits of her father and uncle whom I myself read about growing up. I had no idea they were heavily involved in UFO issues but her story is so solid, backed up by so much overwhelming data that she couldn't be ignored. She went into detail about what her father and uncle did, both top pilots mind you and their exploits. After both men left the military to take up civilian careers they went on to greater notoriety in the areas of public service that all Americans can be proud of.
This story ends the debate of whether or not the U.S. has been covering up UFO data from that time period and that some UFOs were hostile. There's only one missing piece of info that we're digging up now. It may validate the supposed Majestic Twelve documents. I didn't say invalidate them, I said validate Majestic Twelve. I have a love/hate relationship with the Majestic Twelve issue because at first it didn't seem solid however four people on the committee were people who were from the Hudson Valley or lived there. That was quite a shock let me tell you. The witness is even willing to come forward and tell her tale and I'm working out the details.
Now, for a more frightening incident.
This witness comes from the Hudson Valley. A talented scientist in her own right and from a noted talented family. She tells a tale of an attack by a saucer in broad daylight that happened in the late 1970s.
According to the witness she was outside of a store in Wallkill, NY on a bright sunny day when she suddenly looked up and saw a daylight disc. It was hovering above the store across the street and she reports that she could see beings inside. The other persons, several, were in the vicinity but hadn't looked up to see this craft. She states that when the beings inside noticed that she had detected them they turned angry. She says that is the impression she got from them. At that moment she was hit with some sort of light beam that literally knocked her over a railing and down a hill. The other people in the vicinity heard and saw her tumble over the railing and they rushed to retrieve and help her.
She was stunned pretty good and hadn't the where-with-all to start asking her rescuers if they had seen a UFO. Nor does she report any missing time but then we're working on that. Her report is important because it was during daylight hours and like the famous Travis Walton case she was rendered unconscious similar to his account regarding a beam from a saucer shaped ship. There are other accounts of such beam technologies but her account happens around the same time or just before Walton's.
We'll see where these two reports go after further examination. I'll have a more lengthy interview with these two witnesses to present further data. If possible we might be able to get other witnesses to come forward.
UFO Reported Over Moscow, Video And Photos During Putin Election Rally
December 13, 2011 on 4:47 am | In Close Encounter Of The First Kind, NEWS, UFO PICTURES, UFO VIDEOS, UFOlogy, UFOs, Unidentified Flying Object | No CommentsWell this was a surprise as this story has witnesses and lots of photos and videos.
Russia as you may have heard or read is going through a wild election period. To add to all the confusion, fighting, and protesting, a UFO appears above the throngs at Bolotnaya Square.
You can see the original video here.
After some professional analysis we'll see what is made of these images. Because so many people were present and so many devices were used to capture images it should be easy to dismiss special effects and zero in on what type of craft this is. At first glance it looks to be some sort of hovering observational platform with rotor blades. Might well be the case but it's still a UFO. Again I emphasize UFO reports need not immediately be assumed as having an extraterrestrial origin. We need to get out of that knee-jerk reaction to reports. So let's wait to see what the experts dig up.

What happened to bring about this challenge?
In May 2013, the Goldwater Institute sent a letter to the City of Phoenix asking it to end its illegal policy of allowing senior police personnel to increase the amount of their pensions by cashing in unused sick leave, vacation, and other benefits. This practice of "pension spiking" violates state law. The city's refusal to end this policy is an affront to the rule of law and the Goldwater Institute is representing Phoenix taxpayers to stop this abusive practice.
Quick Status >> | Last step: Victory! Phoenix removes pension spiking provisions from public safety contracts effective July 1, 2014 |
Who is the client?
Phoenix taxpayers Jennifer Wright, Eric Wnuck, and Jim Jochim.
Who is the judge?
The Honorable John Rea
What are the key issues?
This challenge will stop the city of Phoenix from violating state law. The city of Phoenix currently allows the abusive practice of retiring employees being able to "cash in" unused sick leave, vacation leave, overtime pay and other benefits for salary in the years leading up to retirement, thereby inflating the final salary used to calculate pension benefits. The result is hundreds of million in increased costs to Phoenix taxpayers. Under Arizona law, public employees are prohibited from using "unused sick leave, payment in lieu of vacation, payment for unused compensatory time or payment for any fringe benefits" to increase compensation for pension purposes.

Odd result on Wednesday as the Raptors extend their win streak to three games for the first time since 2010 following a 99-78 win over the Sixers.
Tale of two halves: It went from a Philadelphia team that I'm still not convinced missed a shot in the first half to one that couldn't find the ocean with a beach ball down the stretch.
The Sixers went from a team that dropped 31 points in the opening 12 minutes, to one that scored just 22 in final 24, which contributed to a floor record for least amount of points in a second half and franchise low in points for a Raptors opponent in one half. The numbers were even more skewed in the fourth quarter, where the Raptors allowed just seven points with the Sixers missing 13 straight field goal attempts in the final frame.
After the first two wins of this current win streak came against lottery teams where the defence looked porous at times, Wednesday's win harkened back to this team's better defensive play from earlier this season. To do that against a playoff team, albeit one that's slumping at the moment, has to be encouraging for the Raptors.
Small Forward Thinking: The decision to start Alan Anderson was an interesting one by Dwane Casey, but the 10-day call up certainly delivered with 13 points (5-7 FGM-A), four rebounds and some solid defence in 31 minutes of work.
The Raptors need to make a decision on whether or not they want to retain Anderson by Thursday, so Wednesday's longer look and even the start makes some sense. But James Johnson, the starter at the three for 38 games this season, didn't just see his minutes reduced, he was benched entirely.
For a team that was already missing Gary Forbes, who didn't travel with the Raptors due to a sore left knee, the absence was a little glaring and post-game reaction revealed that Johnson's benching was a disciplinary move.
Both the coach and player weren't willing to elaborate on what happened, but Johnson admitted he wasn't aware just how long this discipline would be in effect.
"I don't know. Like I said, it's internal, so whatever he thinks that I deserve. I am a man to my word and I stand by myself and have to deal with it like a man," he said post-game.
With Thursday a likely off-day coming off a back-to-back, we'll undoubtedly hear more about Johnson's status for Friday's game against the Cavaliers at the morning shootaround.
Calderon Keeps Them In Stitches: The tendency to drift into hockey references is a little too easy for this site sometimes, but there was something very NHL playoff-like about the way Jose Calderon didn't let a few stitches keep him out of Wednesday's game.
An inadvertent second-quarter elbow from Elton Brand opened a major cut above Calderon's right eye which sent him to the deck and then out of the game to get four stitches. Despite losing a little bit of vision to his left due to swelling around the eye, Calderon came back in the second half with five points (including a dagger three-pointer), six assists and a steal.
"Everything was perfect, it is just because I knew the swelling was there so it was a little bit worse than my right side," said Calderon. "I told everybody to just go to the left."
Life Without Leandro: It was brought to my attention on Twitter last night that the Pacers are now 8-3 with since their trade for Leandro Barbosa, who's averaging 8.0 ppg for the Pacers since the move (down from just over 12 per game with Toronto).
But while the fan favourite is missed, it certainly hasn't affected the Raptors offence significantly. The Raptors have now improved to 6-6 since trading their leading scorer off the bench and have posted and offensive rating of 105.9 (10th in the league) during that stretch — way up from their season ranking of 99.4 (24th).
The Raptors try to extend their season-long winning streak Friday against the Cavs, but here's more of what you had to say about Wednesday's big win.

Instead of working full time longer, some, like Sabedra, are thinking of working part time during retirement. The good news is, you don't have to strive to make big money. Even $10,000 or $15,000 a year in part-time income can help, says Warren McIntyre, a financial planner in Troy, Mich.
Here's why: Academic research has shown that investors can really afford to withdraw only 4 to 5 percent of their retirement savings--based on historic market returns--without risking depleting their accounts prematurely. So, say you need to withdraw $25,000 a year from your 401(k). But assume you have only $300,000 saved up in your retirement accounts. That would amount to an 8.3 percent withdrawal rate. Now, if you could earn just $10,000 a year working part time, you might need to withdraw only $15,000 from your 401(k). That works out to a much safer 5 percent withdrawal rate--one that might make your money last as long as you do.
For his part, Sabedra says he has already talked to his employers about "retiring" early at age 62 but working three days a week thereafter. "I don't plan on totally retiring," he says. "I'll always continue to work."
That could turn out to be the mantra for older boomers. For some, it will be because they want to work--but for others, because they have to.

Something I posted on the Black Industries section of the Black Library forums, at the beginning of the year. It's been copied to Dark Reign since, but it's been sitting in the depths of their archives for some time, and I thought it could do with a re-airing.
It consisted of two posts, the first of which is below:
The Primary Psykers of the Scholastica Psykana are strictly organised, as a means to monitor such a dangerous and valuable commodity. Being strong enough to potentially resist Daemonic Intrusion by themselves, they are not soul-bound, and are given a degree of organisational autonomy beyond that of the more numerous Astropaths/Secondary Psykers, who must be Soul-Bound in order to protect them from the Enemy Beyond.
This autonomy exists primarily because they are the foremost experts in the Imperium on the application, development and risks of psykers, and thus are best placed to decide where their unique talents are most effectively used.
However, that same autonomy is also a grave responsibility - the Scholastica Psykana could not tolerate corruption within their ranks, and every effort must be made to prevent if possible, or eliminate if necessary, any taint that infiltrates their ranks.
Within the Calixis Sector, and likely a great many other sectors across the Imperium, the Scholastica Psykana operates as a series of interlinked Covens - individual cells of similar Sanctioned Psykers operating under the auspices of a single more senior Psyker who in turn belongs to another Coven of higher status.
These Covens are largely isolated from all Primary Psykers outside their number, connected to the rest of the Scholastica Psykana Calixis by their leader, in a structure very similar to the 'cell-based' structure used by many heretical cults, and for similar reasons: If one Coven is compromised, others are shielded by ignorance from it due to a lack of direct contact.
These Covens are organised around groups of similar Psykers, as already stated, defining them according to status, disposition, relative potency, and dominant discipline. Thus, one Coven may consist entirely of Savants Militant specialising in Telekinesis (led by a single Savant Warrant Telekine, who in turn reports to his own Coven of Savants Warrant), while another may consist of Scholars Medicae specialising in Biomancy, led by a single Scholar Arcanum Biomancer.
These Covens are both internally and externally policed - Psykers are monitored by their peers and their superior alike, and being responsible for a Coven that becomes irrevocably tainted is both a sign of gross misjudgement and a crime punishable by any number of punishments, the least of which is death by immolation. As a result, it is in the interests of every psyker to ensure the loyalty and purity of his peers and inferiors, lest they be condemned for the heresy of negligence.
Covens generally consist of a dozen or so Psykers (the ideal is 12 per coven plus a leader), who are all in as regular contact as possible, not just for monitoring, but to share discoveries, help each other learn and simply interact as peers and colleagues.
The Covens Militant
Also known as 'Battle Psykers', 'War-witches' and a variety of less flattering names, the Savants Militant and their ilk devote their studies towards warfare and conflict, learning how to apply their powers to battlefield situations so they can operate as equal parts living weapon, psychic bodyguards and specialist advisors. Different Covens Militant specialise in different aspects of this, using Diviners as prophetic tacticians, Pyromancers and Telekines as weapons against the enemy, Telepaths to oversee the men (grudgingly serving alongside the agents of the Commissariat in this role) and interrogate captives, and Biomancers as warrior-mystics and medics alike.
When an armed force - be it the Adeptus Arbites, the Departmento Munitorum, local PDFs, local security/law enforcement, or some parts of the Inquisition - requests the assistance of the Scholastica Psykana Calixis, all the psykers dispatched will be of a single Coven network in order to continue limiting the potential spread of external corruption. In such cases, a single Psyker will oversee the entire Psyker contingent of the force, and all those under his authority will be selected from Covens already beneath him. For example, a force requesting aid from a Lieutenant Savant will mean that the Lt-Savant himself, and many of the the Savants Warrant and Savants Militant beneath his authority as a Coven Leader will accompany him to the warzone, serving under his authority in battle.
The Covens Scholastic
The other major branch of the Scholastica Psykana Calixis are the Covens Scholastic, who tend as a rule, to be more concerned with ephemeral matters than the more pragmatic and militarised Covens Militant. In the broadest sense, Scholastic Psykers are more potent than their Militant equivalents, having more time to focus on studying and mastering their power.
Scholastic Psykers - starting with the lowly Scholars Materium - tend at one end of the scale to operate in isolation from their peers a lot more than Militant Psykers, operating as lone advisors, court psykers and similar, but tend also to maintain more regular long-distance contact with the rest of their Coven, due to easier access to Astropaths (Savants Militant are rarely permitted to use Astropaths in times of warfare, simply because they're such an important commodity when they are available, that only high priority messages are allowed).
Where Covens Militant are more like a military unit in structure and nature, Covens Scholastic are more akin to study groups, often with several Psykers working on the same subject and the same project, even if spread across several worlds.
Between Sanctioning and Coven Initiation
Many Psykers are not yet full members and operatives of the Scholastica Psykana, having only recently returned from their Sanctioning on Terra. These Psykers do not yet exist as part of the Coven system, having not fully demonstrated their worth, inclinations or preferences. Instead, they're assigned to a single Psyker from amongst the Covens (normally one specially-briefed for the task), who will oversee their initial training, and the Sanctionite will be assigned to one or more postings to gain some practical experience under the auspices of a superior, serving as an apprentice (or Neonate, to use the Scholastica Psykana term). This continues for some time, until the Neonate is deemed ready to progress further, where he will submit his request to be entered into a Coven.
These Aspirants may be given further assignments to test their skills and their loyalty, but with more autonomy than they had as Sanctionites or Neonates, as the tests are for them alone. Should they succeed in convincing their betters that they are worthy of elevation, they will be assigned to an appropriate Coven and allowed to go about their business as fully-fledged Psykers.
A short time later, I elaborated on a few related ideas, in a second post, copied below:
The Coven system I've suggested is designed to be largely self-regulating; that is, each Cell polices itself and the ones directly below it, both because corruption is dangerous to psykers in general, and because a psyker will be punished for the misdeeds of those lesser psykers he is responsible for.
External policing comes at the highest level, something I didn't touch on in my previous post.
Essentially, the rank structure within the Covens Militant and Scholastic mirror those already present in the rules - Militant Psykers advance from Savant Militant, to Savant Warrant, to Lieutenant-Savant, to Savant-Adjunct, to Preceptor-Savant, for example, just as PC Imperial Psykers of that specialisation will.
However, there is one step above that for both paths. For the Covens Militant, each network of Covens will be led by a single Savant-Commander, while each network of Covens Scholastic will be led by a Scholar Ephemeral (both are working titles, stand-ins that can easily be replaced if a better idea is suggested). These highest-ranking Sanctioned Psykers (my estimates suggest ten such beings - a Savant-Commander and a Scholar Ephemeral for each Discipline of psychic powers) form a Sector-level council (remembering that these notes cover, primarily, the Calixis Sector).
This council elects one of its number to serve as the Scholastica Psykana's voice in the Lord Calixis' court. He also deals closely with the Astropathic Network and League of Blackships operations within the Sector and thus represents the Adeptus Astra Telepathica's interests as a whole. To the outside world, the council is a non-entity - the council has no external powers, save those they collectively bestow upon their 'first-amongst-equals'.
This council has vast internal powers, however - it oversees the training, deployment and operations of every Primary Psyker in the Sector (my notes estimate roughly two and a half million Primary Psykers in the Calixis Sector, based on 10 Coven Networks, each five levels 'deep' with an average of 13 psykers per level). As such, it is heavily monitored by external agencies.
Three beings (neatly bringing the council to 13 members) oversee and pass external judgement over the council's meetings. The first is a high-ranking member of the Ecclesiarchy, appointed by the Sector's Cardinal - representing matters spiritual. The second is a high-ranking Arbites Marshal - representing the rule of the Emperor's Law. The third is an Inquisitor (any Inquisitor, in theory, though tradition dictates a psyker is preferred, as they best understand the risks and responsibilities of the Scholastica Psykana), representing the Emperor's Will. Three beings deemed eminently qualified to judge the purity and loyalty of the sector's psykers.
Beyond that, as with all branches of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica, the Scholastica Psykana is open to full and regular Inquisitorial inspection, a process little different from the common tradition of Inquisitors volunteering to spend a period of time overseeing the operation of one of the Blackships.
