God created us from God. God is indestructible. We are indestructible. The body withers and dies yet our Spirit continues on.
Many people never think about their immortal Soul, the wants, needs and desires of everyday life preoccupying their daily thoughts. But we all have one. It is a fundamental part of our being. If you are not considering how your thoughts, words and actions are affecting your Soul's experience while on the Earth plane, you are missing out on the main purpose of your existence.
Do you ever tune in to your Higher Self? Your Higher Self, Spirit, Soul, is the spark of God that dwells within you. When you talk with It, It points your attention towards hidden motivations and internal decisions that are for your growth as a human being and, more importantly, as a Soul. Your Higher Self will not tell you what to do, but will point out unregoconized elements ensnared within the choices you make. You are responsible for forming your future.
Communication begins with prayer and a quiet mind. A quiet mind is very important, and it can be hard to achieve at times. Some people's minds never seem quiet, but that is OK. It is just a matter of learning how to control it. Thoughts may continually race through your head. It may even seem the more you try not to have thoughts the more they scream through your head. It can feel exhausting. Do not feel as if you have failed and do not give up.
Quieting the mind is a process and part of that process is first sorting through the thoughts that pop in your head. They are coming to the forefront for a reason. Take a good hard look at them. What comes to mind? It is in this moment God is speaking to you. Listen to the message. Try to recognize the nudge. It is best to be heeded. Never hold on to obsolete thinking and ignore a message from the Divine.
Sometimes people get caught up in the idea that prayer needs to be done a certain way or a particular place. They stress about making the praying happen. It can be hard to find a quiet place to be alone when you are trying to raise a family, hold down a job, volunteer at school, take care of pets, drive kids to practice, care for your parents, etc.
You can pray anywhere at any time. I bet many of you already are and might not even realize you are doing it. Think about a typical day. You could be taking a shower, sitting in line at a red light, or maybe taking a walk and listening to nature. Outside or inside, it doesn't matter.
The key to hearing your soul speak to you is to first lose your ego self. Once you are in this space another voice begins to emerge. It could come to you while you are gardening or hitting a golf ball. It whispers to you during the times when you are alone and left to your thoughts. If you don't like you or your thoughts, sitting in silence can be terrifying. Your mind begins to scramble for something, anything, to say and distract you.
Pay attention what comes to mind-it is all part of the process. Communion isn't just about letting thoughts come to mind, however. It is about once a thought comes to mind, observing it, and asking yourself why it popped up. Meditation is a way of processing everything screaming in your head right now, but since the world is so noisy and distracting, you never hear it. You Soul speaks to you in the silence though, it is up to you discover the reason. Once your issues begin to arise, interpret them as appropriate to your transformation and growth. Your Inner-Self will save you from yourself.

text: MONTREAL, Que.-- A major funding investment has been announced for the Montreal Port Authority. The Honourable Denis Lebel, Minister of Infrastructure, Communities and Intergovernmental Affairs and Minister of the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec, was joined today by Sylvie Vachon, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Montréal Port Authority, for the announcement. The three main components of the project involve expanding container capacity in the Viau sector, deepening vessel berths, and improving truck traffic flow in and around the port. This work is expected to significantly increase the Port's handling capacity, facilitate the accommodation of larger vessels, and greatly improve traffic flow for the more than 2,500 trucks that pass through the port daily.

Barre blue banners in gray area
MONTPELIER It wouldnt be Barre if it wasnt gray, and thats apparently as true of the blue banners that now line North Main Street as it is of the communitys signature granite.
This week the states Travel Information Council had the opportunity to send a clear signal about the questionable content of Barres banners and didnt.
On a day when the minority ruled, an admittedly gray area involving the states 45-year-old sign law got a little bit grayer, Barres blue banners were spared, and questions about whether it would be prudent to include the names of sponsoring businesses on their soon-to-be-ordered holiday season replacements werent answered.
Following what was described as a lively discussion the council voted, 3-2, in favor of writing a letter to Barre officials notifying them that the downtown banners violated the states sign law, and encouraging them to drop the courtesy of language that gives a nod to local sponsors from a new batch of banners that are about to be ordered. The letter also would have suggested the city work with the Barre Partnership and relevant state agencies on obtaining clarification from the Legislature about an arguably ambiguous law.
That, in a nutshell, is what the letter would have said if, that is, three votes were enough to carry the day on a seven-member panel that is responsible for administering the law that bans billboards and other off-premise roadside advertising.
It isnt.
As is the case with Barres own City Council, it takes four votes for the Travel Information Council to pass anything, and on a day with two members absent, a simple majority wasnt enough. The, 3-2, vote in favor of the motion to send the letter technically failed.
The procedural quirk capped a 20-minute discussion that Amy Gamble, traffic operations engineer for the state Agency of Transportation, said boiled down to a debate over the letter of the law and legislative intent.
According to Gamble, committee members generally agreed Barres banners qualified as outdoor advertising as defined in the law, but were divided over whether Legislature intended to prohibit that sort of sponsorship when it passed the sign law.
Absent a legislative fix nothing was resolved today, Gamble said.
It sure sounded that way to Mayor Thomas Lauzon, who wasnt able to attend the meeting on what he has dubbed Banner-gate.
It really puts us in limbo, Lauzon said of a non-decision that did nothing to clarify the central issue that has held up the Barre Partnerships finalizing an order for holiday banners.
Lauzon said he will be sitting this one out.
I cant knowingly advocate that the Partnership letter the banners (with the names of sponsoring businesses) but they are the partnerships banners, he said. Its their call.
Lauzon reiterated his belief that the Legislature could resolve the issue by creating a carefully tailored exemption for banners similar to those that have been on display in downtown Barre for months. Allowing a suitably sized nod to sponsors on banners displayed in designated Vermont downtowns would do the trick, he said.
Im definitely going to pursue that (legislation), he said.
The city has already addressed concerns that some of the banners blocked directional signs a second issue raised by Gamble by moving the signs to make them more easily visible to motorists.

Rated 3.6 out of 5 by 553
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gina Enjoyed my stay for business
The beds were very comfortable and the room was spacious and clean. I did however feel that there could have been a better area to sit and work and/or relax that didn't require sitting on the bed. The chair for the computer desk was not very comfortable.
It would have been nice if they had a more affordable breakfast option or even offered a continental breakfast.

Rated 2 out of 5 by christieb31 Filthy Room
This was the worst Starwood property I have ever stayed at. It appeared remodeled on the website but the room was old and filthy. The linens were so cheap and the towels were as well. The bath tub was stained and looked disgusting and the duvet was stained as well with black gunk. I will never stay at this hotel again.

Front desk was very friendly. I had a great experience with this hotel.
Great beer and bar! Breakfast: I wish they have more selections such as berries for the fruit and more varieties for the breakfast bar.
However, the waitress was very friendly and I love the way how she provides the service.
The front desk lady truly reflects the sunshine of the California!!

The hotel is convenient, LAX, the staff is friendly. The first room we entered smelled like incense, had to move.
The staff did not offer to help move our stuff, traveled with a senior citizen.
Did not get cookies or fruit for SPG gold...what happened.
The ticket for parking lot did not work, had to have it re activated, I was not the only guest with problem?

Rated 3 out of 5 by del13 staff was excellant
The staff was wonderful, the room was not what I am used to from SPG. Paying for parking is annoying. I have stayed at other SPG hotels I am a huge fan and promote to anyone I talk to. Only the hotels in CA charge up to $20 a day for parking. That is a little disappointing the customers are stuck we have to pay it or leave and lose money/points for the room.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Kitty Nice, but staff does not follow thru
We booked 2 rooms for our stay. 1 of the room does not have a fridge & the AC was not working properly. After the AC repair man came, it worked for a while & the temperature went back up again.The mini fridge never came & I was informed that being Gold member, I can have 1 for no charge. Other than that, everything else is just normal. The 2nd room was fine.

The highlight of the hotel is the bar area which has an amazing selection of beers and decent food. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is convenient to travelers in and out of LAX. The hotel is a bit dated but still very nice. Rooms are comfortable and quiet.

Only a few of the channels on the TV were working properly. A staff member came up to look at it but offered no solution and blamed it on DirecTV.

After checking in i i decided to hangout in the lounge are next to the check in desk I found the the ceiling fans were dirty with dust and not been cleaned in a while. I'm sure the next time I stay at this hotel that it will be cleaned. but the rest of the stay was good. the bar area was a nice atmosphere with great burgers and a good selection of beer.

Great staff and great shuttle service. Very convenient location. And, even tho it was close to airport and landing runway, very quiet. Only two minor problems---no hot water on Friday nite, when I tried to take a shower, and I had to ask for more toilet paper for the bathroom. I actually ran out.
But, would still recommend this hotel for a
stay over.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ProConsultant Proximity to LAX and Avis
I returned my Avis rental car and walked back to the hotel. Took an early morning hotel shuttle to LAX. Convenience and proximity were major factors in staying here, plus the room is comfortable. The room was very quiet considering how close you are to LAX. I will stay here again, because I typically fly out Friday mornings very early to return home.

Front desk was not helpful while I was checking out and did not get a response after couple emails to the one listed on their website. Got charged for parking for the whole day but only parked one rental car for less than 30 minutes. I did mention to the front desk
and they said they would take care but they did not. My Room was very small.

Rated 5 out of 5 by segsan Everything I needed, delivered.
My stay was flawless. My arrival very early in the morning was not a problem, as I had long been approved for a "Your24" check in. Boy, that comes in handy! It was my first time in the West Tower, and the room was very nice, seemingly recently renovated. The staff was extremely friendly, and NOT in that fake LA way! ;)
Thanks for the great stay.

The hotel was beautiful, the room very clean and comfortable bed, the staff was helpful, warm and friendly. We had dinner in the resturant and the food was delicious with good service. The breakfast buffet was yummy with lots of choices and service good. We will definitely stay here again when we're in Los Angeles. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sjakie good choice close to airport
The hotel is conveniently located next to rental car drop off (saves the parking charges) and provides a great airport shuttle. rooms are comfortable and quiet as they are not in the direct approach for LAX.
Food menu is a bit limited and the staff in the bar once in a while is a bit arrogant but all in all good place to stay.

Rated 4 out of 5 by toby4 Excellent Check-in
Front desk Agent was exceptional in professionalism, friendliness and helpfulness. Had some minor issue with my reservation which she resolved quickly and efficiently.
I was very pleased with the room. Comfortable bed, excellent lighting in the bathroom, very good shower and also liked the 'instant' hot water feature in the bathroom sink.

Rated 3 out of 5 by peep a few suggestions
make sure bathroom is clean - mine was not - big brown dirt spill on sink made it a bit disgusting. soap was missing.
++ plus: bathtub. and it worked great !
also when booking, no one said the room would have no look out window, that really was a downer - I had complete darkness but for privacy I had to pull all curtains to pitch black.

Rated 3 out of 5 by robinbirdnm Convenient, but service not so great
Very convenient to LAX. We had an extremely early flight on a Monday morning, so we dropped off our rental car on Sunday night and headed to this hotel. We realized that we only had decaf coffee in the room at about 9:30 PM. I called the front desk twice and then went downstairs and still could not get a packet of real coffee. Maddening!
May 27, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by RodGal55 Its ok if you are just looking to sleep
The hotel is old and could use some updating. I get the "California" decor in the rooms. However white tile is long gone. The housekeeping crew forgot to clean our room and we had to call it was after 5:00pm and we had been gone since 8am. The breakfast buffet was priced reasonable.

Hotel was perfect for getting to and from airport and having a place to keep the car. For the price, it was a no brainer. I was expecting a room a little more up to date and quiter. We could hear all the noise outside our room all too clearly. Other then that, everything was fine and we would stay again.

The beds were comfortable but the bathroom was small. There was no refrigerator in the room or microwave. The internet was not working on my ipad so I notified the desk and they gave me a number to call for teck support . I called but didn't get any response. The food in the cafe was ok but would not recommend it.

I stay at this hotel whenever flying out of LAX the next morning. I rent a car from Budget which is right across the street. I return the rental at night and hop on the shuttle to the terminal the next morning (avoiding returning the car en route to the airport).

In the Sony booth, Sega debuted a playable version of Virtua Tennis 3 for the PS3 (it's also due for the Xbox 360.) The game, which has arcade-style, simple-to-understand play, has been a favorite of gamers who like a realistic but fun game of tennis. It really shines in multiplayer.
Unfortunately, the demo was for one player only, and was limited to a simple single match. While we can't see the full list of tennis pros Sega plans to include, we were able to scope how detailed and realistic the players look in the replays: the graphics are, like most next-gen sports games, startlingly realistic.

If Nazi's had not been defeated space timeline reasonable?
View Single Post
January 26 2014, 02:02 PM
Location: milky way, outer spiral arm, Sol 3
Re: If Nazi's had not been defeated space timeline reasonable?
as a matter of fact, I meant to refer to the Bush administration's spy satellite programme. It was a reply to the last sentecne of
's post.
It's a great comfort that the American population (at least part of them) feels the same about such a scenario as we do.
I differ a bit with you on the second issue. I don't think extermination and slavery were the main issues. At least not from the start. They became a necessity only much later.
In order to understand the situation in Germany in the early 30s you have to take the historical background into consideration: according to the Versailles Treaty made immediately after WW1, Germany had to bear the full weight of the reparation payments (even though Austria had started the war and we were just forced by a contract to assist them). The victors of WW1 stripped Germany of allmost all factories. Literally! They disassembled them and reassembled them in their own countries.
With their economy having been totally destroyed and the last cent pulled from their pockets, the people naturally would follow anyone who tolerably convincingly promised them a better life.
use of direct speech in the following does NOT express my views. My personal opinion is in fact quite different. But this way it's easier to show you how people thought]
It's quite revealing that WW2 started with an invasion in Poland: they had rich soils and huge wheat fields. Conquering them meant having bread.
However, an army and a supply system requires money. Where to get that? You can't take it from your fellows - they'd kill you. You need a scapegoat. Rich and foreign, preferably. That's how the Jews got into focus. Since the middle ages they had been forbidden craftsmanship. So they became merchants and money lenders (the latter being a profession the Church explicitly forbid to Christians). 6 or 7 generations later, their families had naturally amassed some wealth (if they had survived previous genocides of which there were galore).
Nobody likes a rich banker. And if he has a funny religion and generally doesn't quite fit in he makes a wonderful scapegoat. And if the Jew is no banker but a shop owner, you can still give his business to one of your followers. One content voter more plus you show that you care for your people. Nice advertizing for free.
That's how it started. Killing gipsies was the next logical step: not fitting in, not being socially accepted, considered scum. Let's get rid of them. And while we are at it, how about all these scary and weird insane people? They are an eyesore and a disgrace. Everybody wants so much not to see them. But keeping them in asylums is pretty expensive in the long run. Let's cut the costs and just put them all to sleep. It's so much more humane as well. After all, what kind of a life would they have?
And at some point along this development it all got out of hand. More money was needed for more weapons. That required more conquering. POWs were made but they were expensive to feed. Best put them to work and earn their living. On second thought, cancel the living - we'll get new ones in the next battle.
And once the victories ended and the defeats started there was the population to be kept under control. The intelligent ones had to be silenced and the stupid ones kept busy.
At that point they stood with their backs to the wall and knew it. It was just a matter of keeping face from then on, and to do as much damage to the enemies as possible. The inmates of the concentration camps were to be collected and destroyed. There were few trains and so they had to walk. Hundreds of miles. The death marches they called them, and that they were. It is rumoured that more people died then than in the camps (I am not sure if that's true - there are no documents from that time, only a handfull of secretly made photos).
That - only a few weeks before the capitulation - was the point when the majority of the population learned the truth about the concentration camps. Before that there had been rumours but I would like to give at least the more simpleminded villagers the benefit of the doubt. In my opinion the vast majority could have known with a little effort but was simply not interested in finding out.

Hello Cascade Parents and Students!
I sincerely hope you had a wonderful winter break with your family. Our staff was so proud of our students right before the break. We had a toy and book drive and finished it off with a parade. Students decorated carts during advisory and then paraded the halls with their carts full of books and toys. The orchestra was playing holiday music and it was nice way for us to end the 2014 year. All items were donated to Operation Elf Box which is an organization that allows parents to come and get free books and toys for their children. Thank you so much to everyone who donated items! We also had an ugly sweater contest that was hilarious. Many staff and students wore ugly sweaters all week!
As many of you know, our students will take the Smarter Balanced National test this year in lieu of the OAKS test. We have been concentrating much more on writing because it is one of the main components of the test. I am extremely proud of our Language Arts and Math teachers for pushing our students harder. With Oregon going to the National Common Core Standards, we need to teach a little differently. We have been piloting proficiency based grading and are starting to see the success. With proficiency based grading, our teachers look at the Common Core Standard and design a rubric for students to set their sights on. If the student does not master the standard, they have a chance to try again. At first, students were a little reluctant to try again because this is not what they have been used to. Now, many students are seeing why this is so important. Their writing and math work have improved significantly. Although it may not show immediately on the grade report, as student redo assignments, the grade will improve. If you would like to know more about this process, I will be presenting information at our next PTSO meeting on January 15th at 5:30 pm.
Our Sparrow Club is in full swing and are gearing up for the Shiver and Shake in February. This year, we would love to see more parents involved in the actual plunge! More information will be coming your way. Sparrow Club wants to thank all of the families that donated gift cards to Tristan's family. They were shocked and excited to see the overwhelming support from our families.
Cascade has a facebook page! We know it is important to reach everyone and we all have busy lives. Our hope is that you can check this if you need information about what is currently going on. You can see our new facebook page at:
If you have something you would like to put on our page, please let the office know.
Stay warm!

He said nothingSubmitted by SurfCityTom on Thu, 09/16/2010 - 9:29am.
that every other politician has not said at some point. He's in Vegas soliciting campaign funds; he's asked if someone from another state can contact him if they have a challenge. What's he going to say --NO? There go the campaign dollars. And anyone with half a thought will realize that this is his first step up the ladder to higher office. Think Big Mike never offered to intercede for an out of state donor? Go read Lyndon Johnson's biography. He had a mailing list which ran throughout Texas before he was even elected to Congress. »

Salinity and water stress limit crop productivity worldwide and generate substantial economic losses each year, yet innovative research on crop and natural resource management can reveal cost-effective ways in which farmers can increase both their productivity and their income.
Presenting recent research findings on salt stress, water stress and stress-adapted plants, this book offers insights into new strategies for increasing the efficiency of crops under stressful environments. The strategies are based on conventional breeding and advanced molecular techniques used by plant physiologists, and are discussed using specific case studies to illustrate their potential. The book emphasizes the effects of environmental factors on specific stages of plant development, and discusses the role of plant growth regulators, nutrients, osmoprotectants and antioxidants in counteracting their adverse affects.
Synthesising updated information on mechansisms of stress tolerance at cell, tissue and whole-plant level, this book provides a useful reference text for post graduate students and researchers involved in the fields of stress physiology and plant physiology in general, with additional readership amongst researchers in horticulture, agronomy, crop science, conservation, environmental management and ecological restoration.

The Treatment screened as part of the World Cinema Now section in Palm Springs, creating such a buzz that an extra venue had to be added for the second scheduled screening of the film. Following its successful festival launch, Artsploitation Films acquired North American rights. A distributor specialising in genre films, Artsploitation plans on releasing the film this year.
FIPA welcomes five (co-)productions from Flanders

He quickly discovers that something is not quite right in the woods when he stumbles across a masked feral child. As Sam gets more and more isolated from the other scouts, he becomes convinced a terrible fate awaits them: the feral child is the assistant of the Poacher, an evil psychopath who has laced the forest with ingenious traps and is intent on slaughtering any trespasser… one at a time.

When five-year-old Oliver disappears on a family holiday in France, it sets off a manhunt that will last for years.

Belgica tells the story of Jo and Frank, two brothers who have their differences over the years but, when their paths cross once more, decide to start a bar called Belgica.

Have you ever been jealous of that Nintendo Wii controller or Playstation Move? It is really cool use a hand controller as a baseball stick or a lightsaber and jump into action. Feels much more realistic than common controls, too. Well now, with an Apple TV and an iPhone, you could have that too. This is not a hack, but an awesome concept in the form of an app.
It is always nice to get more out of our hockey pucks called Apple TV. And that, too, without a jailbreak. Cherry on top. Making this possible is a hack claiming to bring Russian subscription service Unlimovie.tv to the Apple TV. Though this Russian movie service may not be of much relevance in other parts of the world, the discovery of such exploits can open doors to providers in other countries too.
Apple has just released a big update to the second and third generation Apple TV. Apple TV software version 5.3 adds HBO GO and WatchESPN, which are now available directly on our little black boxes. In addition, three new content providers are also available today on Apple TV including Sky News, Crunchyroll and Qello offering live news, sports and current TV programming.
Released to developers along with the iOS 7 beta, Apple TV software update 5.4 beta 1 brings some new features to our little black boxes: a long-awaited iTunes Radio, Conference Room Display option, automatic updates in the background and customizable subtitles.
Update: Latest Apple TV update broke the Plex hack, here is how to fix it.
Last week we reported that Plex now runs on non-jailbroken Apple TV 2 and Apple TV 3 thanks to PlexConnect, a clever little hack that allows a fully-functional Plex client on non-jailbroken ATV2 and ATV3. We also posted a tutorial on how to get it working on your little black box using a Mac. Below is an installation guide for Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.
Apple has just unveiled a new operating system for Mac – OS X Mavericks at WWDC 2013. Among the new power user features introduced in Mavericks is multi-display support enhancement: the menu bar and dock are now available on any display, and users can run windowed or full-screen apps on whichever display they choose, with no configuration required. With Mavericks you can also use your HDTV as a second display using Apple TV and AirPlay.
