Ash And Dust
I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow but I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals
I'm breaking in, and shaping up
Then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
I'm radioactive, radioactive...
I raise my flag, don my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We're painted red to fit right in...
All systems go, the sun hasn't died
Deep in my bones, straight from inside...

"Just sit back and relax, Captain," K'Jetsk instructed. "This neural scan should take no longer than three hours."
Frank Grimes settled comfortably into the examination chair. "Did you already scan Ming and Fozz?" he asked.
"Yes, but I don't believe they were as traumitized as you were. After I compare your scan to their baseline, hopefully I'll have enough data to help Dr. Espinoza formulate a treatment for Commander Traa'cee."
"How is she now?"
"Unchanged," K'Jetsk announced. "Comatose, very low neural activity."
"Well, lets get on with it so you can figure how to help her."
K'Jetsk activated the scanner. "You'll need to actively use your limbic system for this to work. Talk to me."
"About what?"
"Whatever. Your life story."
Grimes laughed. "That would take longer than we have. Besides, most of it is so highly classified I can't even look up my own files if I start to forget parts of my life. And there are a lot of parts I'm trying to forget."
"You can't. It's impossible to destroy a memory engram. They can only be supressed, and that doesn't work on all species. Even humans can be trained to resist. But even if you suffer total amnesia, all of your memories and experiences are still stored somewhere in your mind." K'Jetsk picked up the Tal Shiar neural interface. "That's what the people who designed this device were counting on."
"You seem to know a lot about the Tal Shiar and their technology," Grimes remarked.
"That's what comes from spending my adult life fighting them," K'Jetsk replied.
After a moment, Grimes asked "Does it matter if I'm doing the talking or just listening?"
K'Jetsk pondered the question. "I don't think so. It should make no difference whether you're accessing long-term memories or creating new ones; the limbic system is active either way."
"So could we talk about you instead of talking about me?"
K'Jetsk slowly nodded. "Alright. Where to begin..."
* * *
I might as well start at the beginning I suppose. I was born on Remus in 2385. I don't remember the homeworld at all. My people were forced to evacuate the planet the following year due to overmining. Most of the Reman people moved to Crateris, but my parents found better work digging tunnels on Talvath. The colony there was expanding, especially after the Hobus event destroyed Romulus and Remus. Life was good for a while. Though we were second-class citizens, we weren't treated badly. I was even allowed to attend school with Romulan children. I grew up in daylight, which is why I am not uncomfortable with it now.
Soon though the political turmoil that gripped the Empire reached Tavarth. The governor was unwilling to pick sides, and in 2390 he actually petitioned the Federation for Starfleet protection. Some leaders were even talking of joining the Federation. Well, my parents were among those who didn't really trust the Federation. My family moved to Rator III, to aid the construction of Taris' new capital city. My mother's brother, Obisek lived there, and he was overseeing the construction of the aqueduct system.
Unfortunately, the citizens of Rator III clung to the old ways when it came to dealing with Remans. Conditions for us degraded quickly. We were even evicted from the home my father had built because some Romulan officer thought it was "too good for a Reman." By then of course we weren't allowed to leave. We were slaves, for all intents and purposes, and I was put to work as soon as I was big enough to carry tools. I think I was eight. We served the rusting underbelly of the capital city, inhaling the toxic chemicals and dealing with the radioactive byproducts of their industry.
Well, we weren't the only Remans on the planet, and we certainly weren't the only ones who didn't like the way we were treated. In 2395 we banded together and went on strike. Every night we'd protest in front of the senate building. Several sympathetic Romulans joined us. You can imagine what the military thought about that. At first it was just a few light beatings and we were shoved back to our hovels. But the protest movement got more aggressive, and so did the Romulan response. Eventually they started killing us to force us to leave the streets and get back to work. My father was among the first to die.
So we went back to work, but life in the tunnels was worse than ever. Uncle Obisek was arrested, because the Romulans pinned him as the instigator of the protest movement and with his knowledge of the aqueducts they figured he was a security risk. So for eight years we toiled away, and plotted our escape. When I turned twelve I was employed by one of our higher-placed Romulan sympathizers. His name was D'Tan, and he served as an aid to one of the senators at the time. Since I could stand the daylight, I was used a go-between by the resistance movement and our Romulan friends. We didn't really make any progress though. The Tal Shiar had rebuilt itself by then and their oppression made any sort of organized resistance rather difficult.
Still, that was an important time for me, personally. I was able to study the Tal Shiar and the military, and learn their tactics. There was this one Romulan priestess who was rather well-connected, and she looked upon me kindly. She taught me about history and how the Elements are supposed to guide us. D'Tan also taught me the teachings of Surak, and kindled my interested in science and medicine. D'Tan became a senator before too long. He believed then that Romulan Empire must change from within. He could have moved to Tavarth and lived comfortably under the Federation's protection, but his goal was for every Romulan and Reman to live in peace, without fear of the Tal Shiar or the Klingons or the Federation. At the time I thought he was naive. The Tal Shiar seemed too powerful to defeat. But they had killed my father, and so I vowed to try to defeat them anyway.
Then in 2403, Sela came back to overthrow Taris. We saw our chance to escape in the chaos, but my people were still under heavy guard. That night, while the forces of Sela and Taris were still fighting in orbit, my mother kissed me goodbye for a final time, strapped on a jacket stuffed with mining explosives, walked up to the guardhouse at the entrence to the tunnels, and blew it up. I don't remember what exactly happened right after that. I was... suffering, from the loss and... I don't remember. But we were able to get off-planet, with help from D'Tan and some others. Uncle Obisek was released somehow. We stole two ships, a
-class warbird and a
escort. Not enough to start a revolution, but enough to start
We made our way to a frozen little world called Dera IV. We landed the warbird on the surface and built our base around that, and kept the
-class in orbit. Obisek named it the
, after my mother. I joined Uncle Obisek and we fought for a few years to free our people. We had some success. Our numbers grew, and we also earned the attention of the Tal Shiar. By 2409, they were letting us know it. And worse, we had discovered that their leader, Colonel Hakeev, was operating under the influence of the Demons of Air and Darkness. We had to stop Hakeev, somehow, before he not only destroyed us but plunged the entire quadrant into chaos. We had amassed a sizeable fleet by then, but mostly birds-of-prey and cargo ships - not nearly enough to take on the Tal Shiar.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, as the Human saying goes. We broke into the Vault - a massive space station in the Haakona system, and managed to steal thalaron weapons technology. Barbaric devices. But they helped Shinzon take over the entire Romulan Empire, and I suppose they could have helped us do the same, if we ever got the opportunity to use them.
Fortunately, we didn't have to find out. Our presence in the vault got Starfleet's attention. They dispatched Admiral LaRoca to investigate. He and Hank Miller managed to sneak into the heart of the facility in a single Manta-type fighter. He confronted Obisek, and Obisek tried to kill him. But they escaped, fighting their way out past Scorpion fighters, a bird-of-prey, and even a warbird we had in the system. Needless to say, Obisek and I were fairly impressed by the Admiral's resourcefulness.
Well, we got away with the thalaron weapons, and we were preparing to use them on a Romulan mining colony that housed a Tal Shiar listening post when Admiral LaRoca tracked us down in Dera IV. Obisek granted him an audience, and he told us that he already destroyed the listening post we were targeting, and used it to find us. We realized if he could find us, the Tal Shiar could too. Sure enough, they arrived in orbit and started beaming down to our base. We formed an alliance with LaRoca and made our escape. Eventually, LaRoca and some friends of his in the KDF helped us destroy the Tal Shiar's base on Brea III, shatter the Iconian gateways, and kill Hakeev.
At that point, Uncle Obisek was through fighting. He returned to the Vault and fortified it, and opened it as a haven to all oppressed peoples. Eventually of course he joined D'Tan to help found New Romulus. But I wasn't done fighting. Not as long as the Tal Shiar remained out there. I knew the death of Hakeev was not the end of them. I knew we had not cut off the head of the snake; we had only cut off one head of the hydra. I reached out to Admiral LaRoca and asked to join his crew. I respected his skill and cunning as a warrior, and I knew he saw the Tal Shiar as I did, and that he too desired peace and freedom for all peoples. And I've fought the enemies of peace and freedom by his side ever since.
* * *
"So that's how I ended up here," K'Jetsk concluded. "Still fighting the Tal Shiar. A few weeks ago, I was blasting them with a disruptor rifle to stop them from stealing your technological achievements. Today, I am attempting to thwart their attempt to destroy Traa'cee's mind." He sighed. "The Legacy of Romulus."
"How's that?" Grimes asked.
K'Jetsk made a short laugh that could be mistaken for a cough. "You, me, Traa'cee. We are the Legacy of Romulus. Everyone who has been harmed by the Tal Shiar, or their Iconian puppet masters. Everyone who lost someone when the Homeworlds were destroyed. Every other planet reduced to ash and dust by that same unholy cataclysm. Everyone still living on Rator III or one of the other Empire colonies, leaderless, forsaken, left to the mercy of the Tal Shiar or whatever fleet commander has declared himself that world's "protector" - every victim of the whole endless tragedy of our peoples - we are the Legacy of Romulus."
Grimes stared in K'Jetsk in silence.
K'Jetsk looked over his instruments. "Ah, excellent. You can get up now, Captain Grimes. My readings are complete."
Frank Grimes slowly rose, and pulled on his uniform jacket. "What about D'Tan, and Obisek, and those who have joined their work on New Romulus? What about Admiral LaRoca, and Ambassador Xean, and General Ssharki, and the others helping them build a new world? Where to they fit into the legacy of Romulus?"
Obisek stared out the window, past the
floating near the station, past the Lunar horizon, and Earth beyond, toward a tiny star called Tau Dewa. "Hopefully, they will build us a new Legacy. And I will fight to protect it."

Sorry, I don't wanted to use a new entry, but I cannot post into the old thread even if I change it to unresolved (then I get the message "Something odd happened."
So I have to open up a new thread for this issue:
It's very strange. On the 14th of August I used my last trackback, as I mentioned here.
Since then I couldn't make a trackback anymore. I haven't changed something in the config area and the option to call all linked blogs about a new entry is already unchecked.
When I am writing a new entry I have delays (look here in the support area, where I described it). It looks like the server is being contacted and nothing happened. But when I am manually load the main page of my blog the new entry is there. But no trackback.
When I am trying to edit this entry the trackback URL is still shown in the "Send trackbacks to"-area and not mentioned as "Already pinged".
Somewhere I have heard, that these delays could be caused by too many trackbacks in an entry - but in the newest example http://www.pottblog.de/2005/08/24/herzlichen-glueckwunsch-geschaeftspartner/ I had only included one trackback.
Could it be a server problem, althoughI am only using this blog at this server (no other program from me is running there)?

sleep deprevation leading to false memories
Posted by earthling at 21:31, 23 Jul 2014They say here http://www.psypost.org/2014/07/sleep-dep...
that if people don't get enough sleep, they can develop false memories.
I say the sleep deprived people just dream when they are awake. Micro-sleep and stuff like that, micro-dreams.

The Malaysian War Crimes Tribunal
Posted by emlong at 04:57, 22 Jul 2014Everyone keeps asking "Why Malayasian Airliners." Well, how about this?
" In November 2011 the tribunal purportedly exercised universal jurisdiction to try in absentia former US President George W. Bush and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, convicting both for crimes against peace because of what the tribunal concluded was the unlawful invasion of Iraq.[7][8][9]
In May 2012 after hearing testimony for a week from victims of torture at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, the tribunal unanimously convicted in absentia former President Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, former Deputy Assistant Attorneys General John Yoo and Jay Bybee, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, and former counselors David Addington and William Haynes II of conspiracy to commit war crimes, specifically torture.[10] The tribunal referred their findings to the chief prosecutor at the International Court of Justice in the Hague.[11]
In November 2013, the tribunal convicted State of Israel guilty of genocide of the Palestinian people and convicted former Israeli general Amos Yaron for crimes against humanity and genocide for his involvement in the Sabra and Shatila massacre.[12]

Bring Out Your Bigfoot: How 'Science' is Failing at Educating the Public
Posted by Greg at 02:53, 04 Jul 2014Science needs to get over itself. And by 'science', I mean those people who see science as some all-powerful entity containing all the answers; those self-proclaimed members of the 'reality-based community' keen to expurgate the threatening breeze of woo-woo bearing down upon the candle of rationality.
Because science itself is just a method, not a position...right?
This post has been brewing some time, but I finally decided to get some thoughts out of my head and on to your screen after seeing this tweet yesterday by the most excellent science journalist Alok Jha, regarding the 'Yeti DNA study' that's been making news this week:
Yetis. Sigh. S'pose nothing else interesting today. Major stem cell paper retracted, you say? Still prefer covering yetis tho? Oh.
— Alok Jha (@alokjha) July 2, 2014
It's not much, I know. But it continues a series of remarks I've seen in recent times where any stories with the sulphurous smell of the paranormal, or at the very least the strange scent emitted by the fringes of science, are seen as taking up important column space that could be devoted to more serious science. And even worse, perhaps spreading dangerous ideas.
Another example: Back in April, we posted a story about anomalous 'lights' on Mars. NBC science journalist Alan Boyle - whom we have known and loved here at TDG for many years for his fun coverage of science, both serious and strange - covered the story as well, in a blog post titled "Bright Blips on Mars Pictures Spark a Buzz Among UFO Fans". The response from some was not so enthusiastic:
Oh, @b0yle, you disappoint me. The amazing scenes @MarsCuriosity is sending us right now, and you spend an article on a cosmic ray hit!?
— Emily Lakdawalla (@elakdawalla) April 8, 2014
My intention here is not to demonise Emily Lakdawalla or Alok Jha - I'm a big fan of their work, and others who are working in science and/or science journalism. What I am trying to point out is an increasing trend with otherwise intelligent and eloquent science lovers to decry or demean anything that even seems remotely associated with the fringes of science, such as ufology, parapsychology or cryptozoology. Not only is it supercilious, but in some cases it may not serve science so well either - for instance with the 'Mars light' story, myself and a few others pointed out there were in fact two images with anomalous lights, but we were shouted down quickly by those who cleave to Occam; the 'light' was just a cosmic ray artefact on the camera, and the two lights were just 'a coincidence that was going to happen sometime'. A day later though, and many of those same people began excitedly back-tracking, wondering whether the 'light' was actually a reflected flash from a shiny rock. In this case, by rushing to remove any hint of an anomaly, those that love science could well have ended up failing science.
But in many ways too, such a response is understandable. There is no shortage of truly crazy theories about Mars, and anything like the 'Mars light' would no doubt bring some flaky individuals out of the woodwork, claiming it as proof of an intelligent alien civilisation on the Red Planet. Even milder responses, such as suggestions that the Curiosity rover should immediately take a detour and drive over to find out what the 'light' actually was, could be rather annoying - every movement of the rover is planned carefully and must take into consideration both dangers to the vehicle, and the science it is tasked to carry out - and some of the replies to those suggestions were indeed short and sharp.
But here's the thing: responding with annoyance, anger and resentment to these stories was a major fail.
Science educators, who are you trying to reach? Scientists, who is funding your work? If the answer to either question is the general public, then the simple fact is that the weird and the strange are your friends, not your enemies.
Alan Boyle knows that. His story about the Mars 'light' was perfect. It began by pointing out an anomaly, a curiosity, something that any normal reader would respond to with "whoah, a strange light on Mars...what the hell is that?" He then guided the reader into the science of Mars research by pointing out the likely rational explanation. Instant win for science-lovers: educating people as well as bringing focus to what is an amazing scientific endeavour, the robotic exploration of another planet.
Rather than quickly trotting out the first rational 'explain-away' they could come up with, both NASA and others could have used this story as a springboard for so much more. Thousands, maybe millions of people's eyeballs are upon you, do you know how much some people pay for that? "We think the light might just be a camera artifact, but we sure are open to other ideas! It's difficult for us drive the rover in that direction on short notice, but if we get the chance you can be sure we'll be checking out this folks. Keep a close eye on the next round of images we'll be releasing on our website and let us know if you see anything else". There, it's not that hard is it?
Another example: I have always wondered about what damage SETI (the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) did to their cause by strongly aligning themselves with the pseudo-skeptical group CSICOP around a decade ago. Two of the organisation's most public faces openly derided the UFO phenomenon, and those interested in it, in blog postings and interview appearances. This seems insane to me...there is vast interest in the general public on this topic, a perfect 'way in' for SETI to use to attract interest in their projects and/or raise funding, and instead they took a dump on their own dinner plate. Most of those truly interested in the UFO topic ended up seeing SETI as the opposition. Fail.
Another factor contributing to the issue is that for those intimately involved in science, the minutiae are important. Those things that might seem boring to others are important. But, members of the reality-based community, here's the reality of the situation: Joe Public out there is coming home from a long day of (often mindless) work, looking for a combination of entertainment and education in the one or two hours they might have to spare before going to bed and then wading through the same shit all over again. Would you like to listen to a bricklayer bemoaning the lack of understanding in the general public about the finer points of a good mortar? That's what you sound like folks. People's time is valuable, and they don't want to spend it hearing you whining about how everyone else doesn't invest enough time in what you find valuable.
So get out of your echo chamber, stop being so stodgy and pretentious about what you do, and entertain the punters while you educate them! Bring out your Bigfoot, kick-start your UFO, do what you need to get the story across and have some goddamn fun while you do it! And you know what, in the process, you might even find that some of those weird anomalies you're using to educate people have some interesting science to them as well and could be worth a closer look...
Consciousness, Speculation and Seeing the Un-see-able
Posted by Azkath at 06:31, 03 Jul 2014More and more I suspect that consciousness is far more complex, rich, and all pervasive than we can even conceive of. My feelings currently, lead me to say that not only is consciousness a part of everything, but that it functions on more levels and connects in more ways than we can process. We see such a small sliver of our existence. We see a very limited view, and we see it through our little bubble of self-awareness and ego. That is how we interact with this wonderful world, though. We need that ego, that sense of identity here to have this experience. I do believe it is not unlike playing a computer game. Our higher self, or whatever you want to call it, is the player, outside the computer, and in order to access the game we need an interface, which is the computer, or our brain, that allows us to live in cyberspace. The closer to virtual reality we get, the more accurate this description may be. I am not saying I think we are living in the matrix or a computer simulation, although I by no means rule it out. I am just using it as an analogy. The character you play in the game has limited information compared to what you do. Maybe, if we could construct a game where the character learns and your part is to guide it to what it needs to know and learn in order to get where it needs to go, that may be the best analogy to who we are here. Some players are good, some are not. Some can communicate to their character in ways that make it very clear to it what way to go. Synchronicities, signs, omens. Other players are asleep at the wheel, or just really bad at getting through to their characters. They become the materialists. The closed minded. And maybe that is part of the game, variations are needed to progress the world.
I look at the research being done on children who can recall past lives, and it seems that many of them died violent deaths. The same is said of haunted locales. The ghosts are the ones who died a violent death. Is there something about dying suddenly or violently that loses an ending process the rest go through? If you die in your sleep, peacefully, is there a transition that takes us back to that higher self? Maybe when you die violently, you stick around, you want to play again, so you haunt if you were really attached here, or you just want to reset and try again. These are not beliefs on my part, just some idle speculation. Maybe the reason some children remember past lives is because they didn't process things properly because of the way they died. I can hold a decent amount of doubt about hypnotically regressed past lives. Hypnosis is unreliable, and once you've lived more than a few years, you really don't know what information you have been exposed to subconsciously. Our brains seem to work as a filter as much as anything else. Takes in 100%, shows you .0001%. Shows you what is important or what fits your belief system. It's a tool; you have to train it otherwise by breaking patterns and habits. Then it shows you more. Then you start to see the shadows, not just the light. Children, though, there are some very good cases where there is no way the child could have reasonably known what they know, especially at such young ages. Even training from parents can't explain it, if they were attempting a hoax. These kids seem to be recalling very specific, detailed information. They seem to show genuine emotion about the events they recall. And sometimes those past lives have been found and information verified. It takes one, just one, to be genuine. I think we have far more than that. Which then begs for an explanation. I honestly can think of only a few possibilities. One, and most likely, is that it was their past life. I think Occam's Razor points there. It simply is what it seems to be. It may also be, that consciousness, working like an all-encompassing field, allows one to access it and focus in on one specific part. Maybe that is what happens, these kids, not yet trained in the ways of this world, focus in on a life, recorded in that field, and attach themselves to it. I think this is less likely, and I am hard pressed to come up with any other good possibilities. We can't dismiss them, well you can, but that would not be intellectually honest. If even one is genuine, that is all you need. I think there are plenty of genuine cases. Maybe it's that computer user communicating information about their past character In the game, intentionally or not.
I heard someone say on Coast to Coast a couple months ago, that consciousness is just in the brain, we know this, the science is finished on it. Really? Well, there is a headline, when exactly did science PROVE, beyond any doubt or further possible study, that consciousness is just in the brain? Right, never. I think the first key to knowing someone has an agenda or dogma present, has to be when one says, the science is finished. By its nature, that is never true. There is always more to learn. It's been said many times in the past, Charles Fort used to make fun of that claim back in the early 1900's when, I believe, The Royal Academy of Sciences said science was complete. I could be wrong about the institution, it's been a while since I've read his books. They said this, while still saying that rocks couldn't fall from the sky. I think that anytime someone says the science is complete, they automatically lose credibility. You hear it in debates about evolution, about global warming, about consciousness. I think that, if anything, cutting edge science is actually proving that consciousness is NOT just in the brain. Taking an honest look at scientific studies of PSI, they statistically prove that it exists. Debunkers, with no knowledge of statistics, and an agenda, claim they are unimpressive. They are not. They are solid science that consciousness can access data from outside in ways that are not understood. One of the most common points I hear made is this, if you get knocked out, you're out. When you regain consciousness, you realize you didn't continue to exist while knocked out. Well now, sounds reasonable. Proves nothing, especially when you realize that you have many dreams every night, yet remember very few, some remember none. Does that mean they were not there? No. If you character gets knocked out in the game, your higher consciousness is unaffected, your user is still there, but unable to influence the character in the game. The same with brain damage. This is also cited as proof that consciousness is in the brain and only in the brain. But again, if your computer has issues, or your game character has some damage, it doesn't affect the user. Your higher self is still intact. In another way of looking at it, you drive your car. If the car blows a break line and you can't stop it, does that prove that the driver is the car? It makes as much sense as saying that brain damage proves that consciousness is a side effect of the brain. Neither thing is proof. The brain is more likely an interface, not a generator of consciousness. It is the vehicle we use.
Let's take it a step further. When we look at paranormal phenomena, let's say UFO's, we see that they somewhat conform to our expectations. Kenneth Arnold saw flying V shaped craft. Boomerang like. The press called them Flying Saucers. Later, actual saucers were seen. Does that mean these sightings were false, or, are people seeing something that has no definitive form to us? We put it on the phenomena. Monster sightings may be more of the same. Something is there, and until it has a form, descriptions may vary, but the more that see it, the more it defines itself, using our conscious expectations. People are certainly seeing something in the skies, on the ground, and elsewhere, that defy easy explanation. Sure, there are misidentifications, and hoaxes, and such, but there are simply too many strange encounters by reputable people, sometimes with a level of evidence as well, to dismiss them all. And what about that evidence? It never lives up to what it is expected to be. That pancake from the flying saucer? All normal ingredients, although rather unpleasant to taste for some reason. A hoaxer would have tried to make it exotic, not simple and bad tasting. These things may be an intrusion into our reality of something that needs our conscious expectations to give it form that we can interact with. We may see a flying saucer or bigfoot, but what is really there is much stranger to us, so much so we can't see it's actual form with our limited senses and perception.
To take this even further, all of reality may function like this. In the last few decades the idea that if you want something enough you can cause it to happen with a sort of magical wish fulfillment is likely complete nonsense, but on a deeper level, we may draw to us what we need. As individuals, families, towns, etc. Consciousness may bring out that which needs to happen, which may occasionally be what we want to happen. It's kind of like saying, if you want your wish to come true, make the right wish. Our users, out there beyond the game, may be able to control the environment we are in. And maybe there are users above them, and they are consciousness of the group, the family, town, planet, etc. Go deep enough, and maybe you can interact with them, make some requests, have a subtle amount of influence. Work some Magick. Isn't that what most Magick and ritual is all about in the end? Affecting the unseen. Tweaking the hidden structure. Accessing the deep consciousness that pervades everything. It's rich and complex, and we can't understand it. Our brains are very limited devices. Eventually we'll get an upgrade. Maybe as a reward for a certain level of success here. World peace, for real, and everyone get booted up level and we have all new challenges. Doesn't look very hopeful right now if that is the case. I think it's important to watch for those hints from our Higher Selves. I find life gets much easier the more you can see. Is that an illusion? I doubt it, but even if it is, the result is positive, so why change it? There's no real way to know. If it works for you, use it! It's a matter of faith. Not religious faith, not belief in a deity or dogma, but faith that if you listen, the universe will guide you. Subtly but effectively. We are made of consciousness. It's in everything, everywhere. This can't be proven, but to some of us, it is very hard to not see.

The Trail

"Perhaps Deshere is giving us a glimpse into one of the most intriguing aspects of all of the Mirage Men's elusive tricks: They did not have to perfect the brainchildren born in the labs of mad scientists – or necessarily even get the ideas to work at all – as much as lead the world to believe so. A preferred mind control technique may have been to lead a subject to believe his handlers possessed effective mind control techniques."
(This article interests me because I see this same kind of "it is futile to resist" meming being propagated in the orgonite community by certain of it's higher profile participants. It happens often enough and blatantly enough that I have come to suspect it is some sort of psyop. When I publicly question the assumption that "they can control our minds" a peculiarly testy backlash occurs as if I have upset not just someone's mindset but have interrupted an agenda. It is highly likely that intelligence assets have coopted the orgonite community for spreading certain ideas agreeable to the general message of fear and futility that is part and parcel of modern media/intelligence activities.)

Uruguay -Italy
Posted by earthling at 03:39, 25 Jun 2014well, nobody much outside of Italy will weep about Italia. But I do have
to say, that Uruguay was the hungrier team.
And hey, nothing wrong with eating Italian.
My thoughts on psychic phenomenon
Posted by Matthewh20 at 11:49, 24 Jun 2014This is probably one of the first thing I should of wrote about on my blog. If there is one aspect of the paranormal that is both proven and also very important It is psi. In my view the evidence was enough to establish its existence way back in the 1970's and know with auto-ganzfeld the evidence is even better.
But yet the mainstream scientific community have ignored this effect and worst of all the materialists have seen this threat coming and have taken measures to defend themselves.
CSICOP was formed at a secular humanist meeting since then it has been attacking paranormal claims whilst pretending to be open minded. I very recently had the displeasure of reading an article in "focus" magazine (a British science magazine) that was written by the infamous Susan blackmore.
Since spending a few years experimenting in parapsychology and dismissing positive results As well as pretending to have had an obe. She has been attacking parapsychology. After her first experiment in parapsychology she wrote in her diary "parapsychology is a lot of rubbish".
Yet despite all this claims to have been extremely open minded and says she has spent "decades" experimenting in parapsychology. this has no basis in reality at all.
Anyway the article's contents are easily predictable before you have even read it. She says a top researcher in ganzfeld was a Freud this is a serious claim but she made no attempt to substantiate it.
One thing that is very well documented of course is the various Freud committed by CSICOP but she for some reason fails to mention this.
Anyway that brings me to another point do you think the skeptics secretly believe in psi? I mean they would be in contact with a lot of evidence or is it possible that they might be desperate and delusional.
I think may skeptics have simply made a career out of telling militant atheists what they want to hear. The other point I was thinking about making is what does psi mean? After all it appears to be nonphysical and that suggests a dualistic aspect to the mind. Perhaps looking for consciousnesses in the brain is like looking in a TV for pictures.
What about the future of technology? will we be able to control computers with our minds?
What are the limits of the psychical? does it have any?
Your thoughts?

We tried a wedge of our first cheese today. Colby. Moist and creamy, but not wet and gooey. Not doughy. Not as dry as store bought though. We're well pleased with the consistency and texture. I think the press is working well. Maybe for dryer cheese we could tighten down more and more often. The flavor is mild and clean. No sour milk taste at all. We'd like it to be a little richer though. Maybe it will get there with age. It's definitely Colby all the same. There are a few small mold spots under the wax. I dunno. We waxed the heck out of it. I'm calling this a damn good first run.
Good to hear the cheese turned out. I made a few batches of Mozzarella today. they turned out good real easy to make. Dan I was looking at making a press like that, but decided for a first time thing the other would be easier. I will be making one that looks like that just because I like the looks. Probably this summer when I can get the tools out for longer than a hour without fear of getting rained on. YES I will watch out for the finger...
Steve, you'll probably get it made before I do and I know your time is more pressed (cheese joke.. see? ) I've been screwing around with a basic wooden brewstand that I built, tore apart, redesigned and then added a bunch of silicone tubing, QDs and a pump. Removed the pump resituated and built a better splash guard for it. Dwelved into a plate chiller and then read about Jamail Z's IC re-circulation set-up. Built it with QDs and tested the cooling effect, tested again. For what it's worth the the re-circulation works amazingly fast. I've also been petering about with electric. If I ever finish my simple, and I do mean simple compared to the awesome rigs on here; it will be amazing if I ever brew again. Might even buy and extract. Haha. No. Very happy you brought up making cheese. Seen it before on the threads around here but when you mentioned it. You motivated me man! I'm like a new brewer except now it's cheese! Cheers my friend!
My redneck cold smoker I built it today I built it with the 2 plastic buckets some flexible ducting and a computer fan to draw the smoke from the smoker through the ducting and the plastic containers. Don't forget the duct tape I used to seal everything off. I figure the smoke will cool down enough while going through the ducting it will be able to cool off even more in the first plastic box then be pushed into the second plastic container then out the smoke stack. I will use it to smoke my next batch of cheddar and to smoke my own bacon on Friday. I have the pork belly coming into Safeway here in the next day or two. I am also told that smoked deviled eggs are the bomb... Here is a pic of my first cheddar all done up in cheese wax. And here is a pic of the lasagna I cooked with my fresh mozzarella it was good...
All looks great!!
Thanks I am looking forward to trying out the smoker out here soon..
I'm going to post a picture of the cheese press I'm building. You are going to have to use your imagination on the final product. The wood is from an old bed that is not longer needed. This pic is just the basic planning stage. I think it is upside down in the photo. At the top is the base, the wood below it will be mounted vertically to the base. It is a fulcrum style press. Haven't spent any money on it yet, just used stuff around the house. I will have to buy a bottle of Elmer wood glue and some hardware. Should be able to get the thing finished up for under $10. [IMG][/IMG]
Not sure I'll use the knobs on the top. They are available and can use them.. The plunger in the middle I think I'll round off the edges at the top of it. Probably also round the other end so the corners don't interfere with the flow at the base. I know what I mean but not sure I explain what I mean.. Again.. Use your imagination. I meant the fulcrum lever I'll round at the bottom so there is no interference. The plunger will also be rounded at the top for aesthetic reasons only. Hope that makes sense to you.
As soon as I get to it I will post up the recipe and info but I have to convince my wife i need a good meat grinder/sausage maker.

nice color and design
By Marie
from Vancouver
I bought these shoes in purple size 8 and I love them.However I found them to wide at the ankle and toward the arch of the foot. However the shoes are not to wide at the toes. The shoe is to lose around the arch of the foot ,however the width around the toes is perfect.I kept them because I love the style and the color. Also the padding inside is great.
By fairydogmother

These shoes are so comfortable and extremely well made. I am so happy with this purchase. I will watch out for more shoes from Joan in the future!

These shoes are not only comfy but beautiful. I can't wear high heels anymore so these would be appropriate for any place that heels would go. I love them.

didn't love these
By dw
from British Columbia
The shoe is very very cute and the memory foam sole is what sold me. the memory foam is very comfortable but the rest of the shoe is very stiff and hurt my feet within a minute. also i am an 8 and found the 8 quite a bit too big. They are lovely though for someone who doesn't mind a stiffer shoe. sent mine back. also, got a couple of joans tops and they were very pretty.

Love that they are not flat.The little heel and cushion insole make these shoes very comfortable

perfect color match
The drawer pulls I received were spot on in size & color to the item shown on the web site. Was able to click on the item and enlarge it which made it easier for me to make my decision before ordering. If I need hardware in the future, I will visit this site first.

Janelle Wong is an Associate Professor of American Studies and the Director of Asian American Studies at University of Maryland in College Park, MD. Her research focuses on race, immigration, and political mobilization. Dr. Wong is the author of Democracy's Promise: Immigrants and American Civic Institutions (2006, University of Michigan Press) and co-author of two books on Asian American politics. She is currently working on a book about the impact Asian American and Latino evangelical Christians will have on the traditional conservative Christian movement and immigrant political participation. Recently, PRRI had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Wong in depth about some of the 2014 American Values Survey's findings on Asian Americans.
The New York Times Highlights Hispanic Values Survey Results
Laurie Goodstein has penned a great new article for The New York Times on PRRI's Hispanic Values Survey. Goodstein, who interviewed PRRI CEO Dr. Robert P. Jones in Austin upon the report's release at the Religion Newswriters Association annual conference, highlights the challenges facing Republicans as they aim to win over Hispanic voters in coming elections.
The outlook for Republicans has grown increasingly negative since 2004, when President George W. Bush won re-election with 44 percent of the Hispanic vote. The survey, released Friday by the Public Religion Research Institute, a nonprofit research group in Washington, found that 56 percent of registered Hispanic voters identified with the Democrats, while 19 percent said they identified with Republicans, and 19 percent as independents.
The religious identities of Hispanics are also changing, with 69 percent saying they grew up Catholic, but only 53 percent saying they identify as Catholic now. Those saying they are evangelical Protestants have increased by six percentage points to 13 percent. But Hispanics, like Americans as a whole, are increasingly claiming no religion at all: 7 percent of Hispanics say they were raised in a faith but now have no religious affiliation, bringing the total percentage of Hispanics with no religion to 12 percent.
Robert P. Jones, the chief executive of the institute, said in an interview: "If these trends continue, what we'll see is a growing polarization among Hispanics, anchored on one end by evangelicals, who tend to be conservative, and on the other end by religiously unaffiliated Hispanics. The unaffiliated voted for Obama by 80 percent, so you see really different political profiles."

This is by far the best anti-perspirant I've found so far. It doesn't eliminate sweat but it does help ALOT. For the most part, I don't sweat through unless it's unusually hot or stressful. It doesn't leave a white residue on my clothes and it's odorless. It is expensive, given it's an anti-perspirant (so 4 lippies). It's been years since I've used this and haven't found an acceptable replacement to date.
I have tried deodorants and anti-perspirants from DKNY, Fresh, L'Occitane, Bliss, Origins, DermaDoctor and this one from Kiehl's, to name a few, before realizing that nothing compares to Certain-Dri (very unexpected for me, who pretty much assumes the higher the price tag, the better the product). This one is close though, and I was surprised that an unscented cream would be so effective. This lasts nearly all day, doesn't leave a residue and seems to condition my skin well. If I hadn't found Certain-Dri--which lasts at least 2 days for me and is a total HG for me--this would probably be my favorite.

I love this, it doesn't cut out my sweating completely but it definitely reduces it. What I love about it is that it dries quickly and doesn't have any smell whatsoever. I hate it when the scent of my anti perspirant interferes with the perfume I'm wearing. This product also doesn't leave any white marks or stains on my clothes. It costs more than regular drug store brands but I would definitely repurchase.

I've been having major deodorant issues lately. I have no idea why, but I have 7 different deodorants in my cabinet right now. Each of them have been purchased in moments of desperation, followed by sweet, sweet success, followed again by the utter stench (literally) of failure.
Just to give you an idea of the range of products I've been through in the last 6 months or so: Certain Dri, Arid, Secret Platinum, Suave, Crystal Deodorants (2 of them, the solid rock and the roll on), Jason Tea Tree, *real* tea tree oil, and Kiehls deodorant.
I ran to the Kiehls display at Neiman Marcus based on the reviews here, and I have to say, the initial results were fantastic. No sweat, no smell, just perfect armpits. Fast forward (just a little bit) and we're back to utter disaster. Sweaty stinky mess by noon, and I work in an air-conditioned office. I think I've completely ruined my beautiful silk blouse.
This evening I picked up a stick of Mitchum, which in the past has lived up to it's tagline of "So effective you could skip a day".
I think there is something going on with my body though, and I may not be a good test of how well this works for the average person, since at this point in my life, Certain Dri can't even keep me dry.
The packaging is cute, doesn't look like deodorant. You squeeze a bit out and rub the rounded applicator along your armpits, though I found this annoying and used my fingers. It leaves you fingers feeling a little odd after you wash them, but it goes away soon.
I must say that the initial results were really wonderful, and if I can somehow return to those results again I would probably buy this product again. It is a little pricey for me though.

If I could marry this deoderent I would. I live in South Texas where our summers top out at about 100 and our humidity stays just as high. This deoderent works better then anything I've ever used.

I have to say that this is one of the few anti-perspirants that work for me. Under normal days it keeps me almoust dry, but I don't start to smell at all. Works well at the gym, I don't sweat like a pig, and I'm absolutly smell-free:)
The best part is that this doesn't leave a white film under your arms, that you get all over your clothes when putting them on, or dry out my skin like past anti-perspirants have done. Can you wish fore something better. Thanks Kiehls!

I get sweaty during my morning commute and just generally, I worry about underarm stains. I was so sick of yellow on my white shirts! I bought this because of the reviews here and I'm liking it. Usually I use Mitchum's gel. Secret Clinical didn't do anything for me and although I think Certain Dri does a good job, it's so hard to remember to put it on at night and since that's when I shower, I have to not shave or do it in the morning (Certain Dri stings!!!). Kiehls is nice to apply - you don't have to use your fingers, there's no scent, dries fast, no stings after shaving, no white bumps at the end of the day. It keeps me dry in the metro, and pretty dry throughout the day. It did a good job keeping me odor-free. That said, re: dryness it could use a boost, so I think I'll try Certain Dri at night and Kiehls in the morning. Not perfect, but Kiehls is the best I've found.
great product. i've tried many deodorants and nothing works for me quite as well as this one. it's unscented so there is no weird smell when i sweat, but it really minimizes my sweating. pretty expensive for deodorant ($16) but it works so well it's the only deodorant i use now. i recommend this product for people who sweat heavily
Fortunately, I do not sweat all that much and do not have problems with body odor or wetness...that said, my issue with deodorants has always been the impossible to remove yellowish tinge that most of them leave on my clothes. I have been searching for something that didn't react with my body that way forever, and that didn't have a strong scent (I dislike heavy perfume or powder smells). Last summer I discovered Kiehl's deodorant and decided to give it a try -- and I *love* this stuff. This deodorant does the job and not a yellow mark on my clothes since I started using it. Not the cheapest option out there, but a little bit goes a long way and I am only on my second tube in over six months. My only complaint: this product still contains aluminum, which I would rather do without. Still: I will stick to this deodorant, no question.
I bought this product in an attempt to deviate from the normal drugstore brands (the ones that come in sticks and leave white residue on everything). This product had received tons of favorable reviews, so I thought it was the answer. I even bought the bigger size, because i was so sure. Unfortunately, after trying it for myself, I could not see the benefits.
From the beginning, application is annoying. Having to squirt out a lotion onto your fingertips to then apply to your pits is time consuming and awkward, especially when you're in a rush. Furthermore the product did not perform for me. It did not give me even 1 hour of protection on a hot day, let alone 24. This stuff was like wearing nothing at all. Very disappointed.

Florida Grand Opera To Stay In Broward Center In 2015-16
The Florida Grand Opera will continue to perform in Broward County next season. The financially-challenged FGO did not quite raise the $600,000 that officials said they needed. Vut an anonymous philanthropist who volunteered last month to match individual donors' funds has agreed also to make up the $15,620 shortfall.
FGO Extends Broward Deadline; Reveals 2015-2016 Season
Florida Grand Opera has extended its deadline two weeks to raise enough money to continue performing next season at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.
Anonymous Patron To Match Donations Needed To Keep Florida Opera in Broward
An anonymous donor has pledged to match any donation to keep Florida Grand Opera from eliminating Fort Lauderdale performances from its 2015-2016 season, the company announced Monday. But without pledges from other donors by Jan. 31 to be matched, large-scale opera productions would disappear from Broward County
FGO's Madama Butterfly Soars Thanks to Diva's Performance
In 2014, no one should be able to make the ludicrous thrust of Madama Butterfly remotely credible, yet Florida Grand Opera's 74th season opener produces a perfectly plausible tale of an abandoned woman's impossible devotion to a love unworthy of her goodness. Much of this is due Kelly Kaduce's enchanting performance.
The Coming South Florida Theater Season Is As Much About Where As What
Usually there isn't anything sexy or newsworthy about real estate in the world of theater unless it's Glengarry Glen Ross. But as the season approaches, South Florida hasn't seen so much packing and unpacking, opening tubes of Ben Gay, filling out of change-of-address cards, remodeling, scanning blueprints and updating websites as in the past season and the one coming up
Bored? 10 Openings This Week And 5 Next Week, 4 Last Week And That's Not All, Folks
In addition to the two major productions still running that opened earlier this month and the four productions that opened last week, there will be 10 – count 'em 10 – productions opening this week, not to mention five more opening the following week.
Florida Grand Opera's No Exit Ascends Hot Damn Perfection
With its ingenious, acrobatic score, and exceptional singers who could handle both the drama and the demands, FGO's No Exit may have been a depiction of hell, but the production was hot damn perfection. The only regret was that this was a three-day run. If you must, go through heaven and hell to get to the final performance of this production tonight. It's a once in lifetime experience.

Review: There are usually 3 vegan soups. The women who works at this location is vegan herself and very knowledgeable about the soups. The breads are not vegan. We went with small soups, lentil and cassava (AMAZING) and you can enjoy them on a little bench outside. Next time we're in Amsterdam we'll definitely get a large soup to bring back to the apartment for dinner, they both were amazing!

This jerky is a riff on heavenly beef, a Thai dish that is usually quickly marinated and sautéed. At once floral, sweet, and salty, it's good on its own or served with coconut sticky rice for a treat.
What to buy: We used sirloin tip to test this recipe and loved the final result—chewy and flavorful without excess greasiness.
Game plan: If you have a conventional oven, you can proceed with the recipe as laid out below. If you have a relatively new, digital oven, look to see if you have a "dehydrate" option under the convection setting—it will ensure even air circulation as the meat dries.
The jerky will last up to 1 month when refrigerated in an airtight container. Bring to room temperature before eating.
This recipe was featured as part of our Make Your Own Jerky project, as well as our DIY Holiday Gifts Advent Calendar.
- 1Arrange meat flat on a plate or baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until firm, about 1 1/2 hours.
- 2When meat is ready, place on a cutting board, trim any visible fat, and slice along the grain into 1/4-inch-thick strips. (You want the strips to be as uniform as possible to ensure even drying.)
- 3Place all remaining ingredients in a large baking dish or resealable plastic bag, and mix until evenly combined. Place beef strips in the marinade and toss thoroughly to coat. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 12 hours, turning once.
- 4Remove meat from the refrigerator, place in a colander to drain off excess marinade, and let come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, remove the racks from the oven, completely line the bottom of the oven with foil, and heat to 160°F.
- 5Spray the oven racks with nonstick cooking spray, blot any excess marinade from the meat with paper towels, and arrange beef strips horizontally across the racks, leaving at least 1/2 inch of space between strips.
- 6Place the racks back in the oven and dehydrate jerky until dry, shriveled, and, when bent, it gives way before breaking but doesn't snap, about 3 hours.
- 7Blot any oil or moisture from the jerky with paper towels and cool completely on the racks before storing.
