Rocket, Air-to-Surface, 4.5-Inch, Practice Round
This is a practice round of a 4.5-inch caliber U.S. air-to-surface rocket used during World War II. The rocket, developed from 1940, could also be used as a ground-to-ground weapon. When used from aircraft, like the P-40, it had five folding fins and was launched from tube launchers under each aircraft wing. The rocket's first operational use came in late 1943 or early 1944 against Japanese ground installations in Burma - the first combat use of American aircraft rockets. The range of the 4.5-in. rocket was about 1-2 miles. The payload weighed 4.3-5 pounds depending on the type of high explosive in the warhead. This rocket was donated by the U.S. Army Ordnance Museum to the Smithsonian in 1989.

We're only into the second week of "The Voice" season three, and there is already news of a major shakeup on the horizon for next year.
After Us Weekly reported that Usher and Shakira were in early talks to replace Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera next season, NBC confirmed the news in a press release.
"We are thrilled to welcome Usher and Shakira to 'The Voice,' " NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said in the release, which explained that Cee Lo and Christina will only take season four off before returning to the show. "The addition of these popular iconic artists continues the tradition established by Christina, Cee Lo, Adam and Blake. Doing two back-to-back cycles of this show requires a tremendous amount of time, and we are happy to accommodate the commitments made by Christina and Cee Lo. The participants on our show benefit from our coaches' expertise and their continued success in the music business allows for significant new contributions to the contestants when they return."
It's hard to believe the powers that be at "The Voice" would be considering any changes on their panel, given the fact that the show's fall season has been a hit in the ratings and held its own against Simon Cowell's "X Factor" last week. Before the press release, replacement judge Usher raised suspicions via a few cryptic tweets he sent out Monday afternoon (September 17).
"With all the talented voices out there in the world. Other raising stars could benefit from my mentoring. #Teamusher…who's with me?" Usher tweeted, followed by an even more cryptic message: "IV on 4….#Teamusher See you soon! URIV," which could be a thinly veiled announcement that we'll definitely be seeing the Grammy winner on the panel for season four.
So why the departures of Aguilera and Green? A source on the show told the magazine that Aguilera wants to use the break from filming to focus on promoting her new album, Lotus, which hits stores in November. As for the "Forget You" singer, he is reportedly working with NBC on a new show of his own along with the long-awaited, long-delayed Goodie Mob album.

Don't be fooled by the title or the fact that this film is billed as a comedy. Yes, there are humorous moments (quite a few, in fact) throughout the film, but at its core, Drinking Buddies is an honest examination about a generation unwilling and seemingly unable to ask tough relationship questions. Especially when they involve coworkers, friends, lovers, and themselves. Director Joe (V/H/S, Uncle Kent) Swanberg, who also wrote the screenplay, continues to defy type-casting in his genre-bending, perfectly-cast sleeper hit. Already an instant watch darling on Netflix, this film received a few limited releases because, to be completely honest, most people were probably uncomfortable with the subject matter. It's not a strong R rating, and could have probably been edited into a PG-13 film if the director had wanted to do so, but that is not the point. The point is that this film explores a topic that is often brushed aside. And the brilliance behind this is the way it is presented, in a subtle-yet-realistic manner.
Actresses Olivia (Deadfall, House M. D.) Wilde and Anna (Pitch Perfect, What to Expect When You're Expecting) Kendrick shine as polar opposites; one who knows what she wants but is afraid to ask tough questions and one who has absolutely no idea what she wants and completely disregards that such questions even exist. Actors Jake (21 Jump Street, Safety Not Guaranteed) Johnson and Ron (The Conjuring, Office Space) Livingston add much-needed chemistry and banter to the strong-willed and equally likable female leads. And as an added bonus, cameos by Ti (The Innkeepers, You're Next) West and Jason (We're the Millers, Horrible Bosses) Sudeikis provide extra laughs that break up the monotony of the characters' day-to-day shenanigans.
But as the tagline suggests, there is a lot more going on than the film's premise would have us believe. And any screenwriter brilliant enough to capture an entire generation's single most prevalent problem is one that is destined for greatness. So when Swanberg slaps something like this on the DVD box, you know exactly what you're getting into. 90 minutes of awkward moments only made more awkward by characters with social skills bordering the Asperger's spectrum meeting the dangerous combination of a high daily alcohol intake. And the writer's own description really does say it all. "Luke and Kate are co-workers at a Chicago brewery, where they spend their days drinking and flirting. They're perfect for each other, except that they're both in relationships. Luke is in the midst of marriage talks with his girlfriend of six years, Kate is playing it cool with her music producer boyfriend Chris. But you know what makes the line between friends and more than friends really blurry? Beer." Exactly.

Syrian Ballroom Wedding
Vintage Weddings
The flowers from this Pasadena wedding shot by Alders Photography are sending us completely over the moon. No matter how many stunning boutonnieres, arrangements, and centerpieces we see here at Ruffled, sometimes you just can't beat a fluffy pink bouquet. Make sure you read on to find out how this gorgeous couple met — talk about one serious love connection. It's one of those love stories you would only think it existed in movies.
From the bride, Mouna: Zak is from Ohio, I am from California. One day, late 2006, Zak searched his last name on Facebook to see if there were any other Salahiehs living in the US and my name showed up. At first, our instinct was to trace back whether we were related. After all, Salahieh is not a common name in the US. It turns out, Salahieh was common in Syria, our home country. Same last name, both from Syria, but not related! After a few months of e-mails, and sleepless AIM chats, we realized that our relationship was more than just "Hello." Zak flew out to California to see if our relationship would take off upon meeting. Lo & behold, it did!
After visits back & forth, Zak moved to California. A few months later we got engaged, & a year later we got married. Old Town Pasadena is a special place for us where we'd often go on dates. Cafe Santorini was one of those dates! The food is amazing! We later learned about the reception hall The Rococo Room. We felt it was a perfect fit for our wedding. Our most vivid memory from the wedding day was our entrance. We walked in to The Cinematic Orchestra's "That Home."
Any advice for future brides? Biggest advice is to just go out there and have a good time. Don't get too caught up with the details. Your wedding day goes by so fast so try to take it easy & enjoy every moment. Keep in mind that you are celebrating with your closest friends & family so there's no reason to be nervous. Even if something goes wrong, just make the best out of it, let loose & dance!

Music of Life
Orchestral Masterworks of Karel Husa
Karel Husa | Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra | Pastorale for String Orchestra |
Scenes from The Trojan Women Suite of Orchestra | The University Symphony Orchestra |
Kimcherie Lloyd | Paul York
Karel Husa
Czech-born Karel Husa studied music both in his native Prague and in Paris. He has had a long and distinguished career as a composer and conductor, as well as teaching many years at both Cornell University and Ithaca College. Although perhaps best known for his music for wind ensembles, including the modern classic, Music for Prague 1968, he is also a prolific composer of orchestral and chamber music. He has a long association with the Louisville Orchestra and the University of Louisville School of Music, and composed his ballet The Trojan Women for the opening of the new School of Music building at the University in 1980. In the last decade Music for Prague 1968, Smetana Fanfare, Les Couleurs Fauve, Concerto for Percussion and Wind Ensemble, The Trojan Women and many pieces of Husa's chamber music have been performed at the University of Louisville. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1969 for his String Quartet No. 3, and the Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition in 1993 for the Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra.
Back to top
Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra
The Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra was commissioned by the Frank Kerze, Jr. Fund for the University of Southern California School of Music, Daniel Lewis, and the USC Symphony. The work was completed in 1989, and on March 2, 1989, the premiere of four movements of the concerto (the Introduction, Recitative, Remembrance, and Hymn) was given in Pasadena, California, with cellist Lynn Harrell as soloist and the USC Symphony under the baton of Daniel Lewis. In its definite form (with the completed Anecdote), the performance of the concerto took place at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. on November 16, 1991, by the same performers.
In his original program notes, Husa writes: "As a young student, I played the violin, but when I entered the Prague Conservatory in 1940, I was immediately exposed to the solo violoncello as my teacher, the important Czech composer Jaroslav Ridky, was composing his Second Concerto. There is a great tradition for both composition and solo performance of the cello not only including Dvořák, but composers such as Vorisek, Stamic, Myslivecek, Vranicky, and Kraft—all have written concertos for the instrument.
After the war, I left Prague to pursue studies in Paris and had the chance to hear the French school and its great cellists. Yet, until now, I have written for this five-octave range instrument only in my chamber and orchestral music. It was then a great pleasure to be invited to write a concerto for Lynn Harrell, whom I have admired for a long time.
Because of the rich literature for the instrument, many sonorities, much of the technique, much of the highest ranges have already been explored (especially when we include the harmonic pitches, which can even extend the five-octave range)."

Pastorale for String Orchestra
Pastoral For String Orchestra was commissioned by the American String Teacher's Association for the 1980 ASTA National String Orchestra and first performed at the National Biennial Meeting of the Music Educators nation Conference (MENC) in Miami Beach, Florida, April 20, 1980. Karel Husa was the guest-conductor of the ASTA Orchestra.
The work is of moderate difficulty and the musical material comes from Husa's early work, the Sonatina for Violin and Piano, composed in 1944 when Husa was still a student at the Conservatory of Music in Prague, Czech Republic, then Czechoslovakia.
Though the works creative roots and musical materials stem from an earlier period of Husa's life, the composer brings a new, more mature perspective to those materials and to the shape, structural intention and expressive impact of their product.
True to its title, the work displays a lush, open mellowness full of expressive warmth, long breathed melodic lines and beautiful, uncluttered counterpoint. This clear and masterful writing for strings allows the music to unfold and conclude in one long, seamless, expressive arc. Such beautifully spun melodic phrases are underpinned by a lighter harmonic style than found in the other works on this disc, lending the Pastoral for String Orchestra a timeless simplicity and a direct, autumnal expressiveness.

Scenes from The Trojan Women Suite for Orchestra
The Trojan Women, adapted from the ancient Greek play by Euripides, was commissioned as a part of the opening festivities of the University of Louisville School of Music on the Belknap campus in 1980–81. The premiere performance was presented by the University of Louisville Symphony Orchestra and the Louisville Ballet on March 28, 1981 in the North Recital Hall. The orchestra was directed by the composer and the ballet was choreographed by Alun Jones featuring Helen Starr as Hecuba, Kurt Putzig as Talthybius, Lauren Cookson as Cassandra, Martha Connerton as Andromache, and Hannah Jones as Astyanax. Subsequently, in April of that same year, The Trojan Women was presented as part of the Louisville Ballet subscription season, this time with the Louisville Orchestra under the baton of Akira Endo. In addition, Maestro Endo and the Louisville Orchestra recorded The Trojan Women for the Louisville Orchestra First Edition Label.
The story of The Trojan Women is not a pleasant one. The city of Troy has been utterly ravaged by the Athenians. Poseidon laments his smoldering city. Hecuba, Queen of Melos, mourns her city and the death of her son Hector. All the men of Troy are dead, except for Astyanax, the son of Andromache, daughter-in-law of Hecuba. The soldiers warn Andromache that like all the men of Troy, her son must die. The women try to protect the boy, but finally the soldiers succeed in killing him. The body of Astyanax is given to Hecuba who rocks him and sings a lullaby to him that recalls the beauty of earlier times. The body is then taken and buried. Alone, Hecuba laments with even more despair. Finally, totally defeated, yet still strong of character, the women accept that all that they have known is gone and they are lead away to a life of slavery.
The music of The Trojan Women was inspired by Husa's memories of the destruction of a Czech village. He uses stark modalities, tetrachords and quartertones to evoke the ancient horror of Troy and connect it to the modern horror he witnessed in his native country. This music makes an incredibly artistic statement on human bondage, suffering and the resilience of human nobility. This speaks to the influence of Husa's deep sense of involvement with his fellow beings, and further supports Dr. Anthony Iannaccone's conclusion to his article on Karel Husa in Cross Currents:
"Like most great music, it transcends the ubiquitous labels of conservative and progressive. It is simply the imaginative creation of a major artist who speaks cogently and eloquently to his time and beyond."

The University Symphony Orchestra
The University Symphony Orchestra is the premiere orchestral ensemble at the University of Louisville, performing a great variety of orchestral literature from standard repertoire to music of the 21st century. Primarily composed of music majors (undergraduate and graduate), the USO is open, by audition, to any UofL student. Each year, the USO presents no less than six concerts, including the highly popular Halloween Spooktacular and the New Music Festival concert, which has included music by guest composers such as Karel Husa, John Corigliano and Michael Colgrass, as well as world premieres by faculty and student composers. The USO also performs at least one concert per semester of purely orchestral works. Recent program repertoire has included Elgar's Enigma Variations, Franck's Symphony in D Minor, Beethoven's Eroica Symphony, and Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5. In addition to its own performance schedule, the USO regularly joins the University of Louisville Dance Academy in performance of "Clara's Dream" from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker Suite and the University of Louisville Opera Theatre for a fully staged production. Recent operas include The Mikado, The Tender Land, A Beggar's Opera, and Le Nozze di Figaro.

Release Date:
November 4, 2008
Even as a serious-minded singersongwriter, Cat Stevens never stopped being a pop singer at heart, and with Teaser and the Firecat he reconciled his philosophical interests with his pop instincts. Basically, Teaser's songs came in two modes: gentle ballads that usually found Stevens and second guitarist Alun Davies playing delicate lines over sensitive love lyrics, and uptempo numbers on which the guitarists strummed away and thundering drums played in stop-start rhythms. There were also more exotic styles, such as the Greek-styled "Rubylove" with its twin bouzoukis and a verse sung in Greek, and "Tuesday's Dead," with its Caribbean feel. Stevens seemed to have worked out some of his big questions, to the point of wanting to proselytize on songs like "Changes IV" and "Peace Train," both stirring tunes in which he urged social and spiritual improvement. Meanwhile, his love songs had become simpler and more plaintive. And while there had always been a charming, childlike quality to some of his lyrics, there were songs here that worked as nursery rhymes, and these were among the album's most memorable tracks and its biggest hits: "Moonshadow" and "Morning Has Broken," the latter adapted from a hymn. The overall result was an album that was musically more interesting than ever, but lyrically dumbed-down. Stevens continued to look for satisfaction in romance, despite its disappointment, but he found more fulfillment in a still-unspecified religious pursuit that he was ready to tout to others. And they were at least nominally ready to listen: the album produced three hit singles and just missed topping the charts. Tea for the Tillerman may have been the more impressive effort, but Teaser and the Firecat was the Cat Stevens album that gave more surface pleasure to more people, which in pop music is the name of the game. [In 2008, Teaser and the Firecat appeared in a beautifully remastered edition containing a bonus disc with 11 tracks. The double digipack is illustrated with the original album artwork including two beautiful paintings Stevens did for the inner sleeve. The booklet contains an introductory liner essay by Yusuf Islam, track by track notes from producer Paul Samwell-Smith, and a fine reminiscence by Islam's longtime guitarist Alun Davies. Disc two opens with a live version of "Moonshadow" taken from a performance at ~the Troubadour in 1971. It's just Stevens and Davies; it gets to the beautiful mystery in the tune and is perhaps superior to the studio version. This is followed by five straight excellent sounding demos of album tracks recorded in February, 1971: "Rubylove,""If I Laugh,""Changes," and a deeply vulnerable "How Can I Tell You" that undresses the album's rather glossy arrangement. The final demo is for "Morning Has Broken." This solo acoustic version (the first recorded one) is slightly different; it's transposed into a different key, Stevens seems a bit unsure of the lyrics (he didn't write them), but they are more convincing. It feels more like the hymn it was designed to be than a pop song. Two songs from a pair of ~Royal Albert Hall performances are included: a completely overblown "Bitterblue" from 1972, and a stellar drums-and-hums reading of "Peace Train" from 2003 which resembles the version on his 2006 album, The Other Cup. This version's timelessness is revealed in the same way that Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready" is. The set ends with "The Wind" from the Yusuf's Cafe Session DVD, recorded with Davies. Here too, the song's poignancy is ever present, even if the performance is a little ragged. This deluxe edition is worth the extra investment.] ~ William Ruhlmann Thom Jurek, Rovi

OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of extremely preterm birth (24-26 weeks of gestation) on the mental health of parents two to six years after delivery, and to examine potential differences in post-traumatic growth between parents whose newborn infant died and those whose child survived. METHOD: A total of 54 parents who had lost their newborn and 38 parents whose preterm child survived were assessed by questionnaires with regard to depression and anxiety (HADS) and post-traumatic growth (PTGI). RESULTS: Neither group of parents had clinically relevant levels of depression and anxiety. Mothers showed higher levels of anxiety than fathers. Bereaved parents with no other, living child reported higher levels of depression than bereaved parents with one or more children. Mothers reported higher post-traumatic growth compared to fathers. In particular, bereaved mothers experienced the value and quality of their close social relationships more positively compared to the non-bereaved parents. CONCLUSION: In the long term, bereaved and non-bereaved parents cope reasonably well with an extremely preterm birth of a child. Post-traumatic growth appears to be positively related to bereavement, particularly in mothers.

The budgies sat in separate cages at the shelter. There were five of them. Teaky, Booey, Joey, Maxi, and Mary. Someone found Teaky outside in their garden and took him to the shelter. Booey and Joey were brought to the shelter when their owner couldn't care for them anymore. Maxi and Mary were left outside in a small cage on the street in front of a pet store in the early morning hours. Luckily, a passerby saw them and brought them to the safety of the shelter. This is the story of how Nana adopted the budgies and took them home to live with her. While Nana gave the budgies a lovely home to live in, the budgies gave her so much more in return.

* i'm an 11 ;)
The Master Number 11:
The Illuminator
The meaning of the number 11 is "Spiritual Messenger." In the ideal, the master number 11 is on a journey to find its own truth (illumination), using spiritual inspirations as a guiding light, and then bringing these illuminations to others to help raise spiritual awareness on the planet.
You might say the 11 is born to bring spiritual insights (messages) to Earth.
Intuitive, sensitive —and very enthusiastic —it's no surprise that the 11 is associated with bright colors and translucent gems and metals.
Mastery through Spiritual Illumination
As we have said before, numerologists write the master number 11 as 11/2 to honor both the energies of the 11 and the 2, and both play an integral part in the story of this master number. In addition, the 11 combines all of the traits of the 1 —twice over, and at the same time includes the traits of the 2.
How these two numbers play out together is the real story of the 11 master number. You might think of this number as two 1s, which embody individuality, the pioneering spirit, leadership, solitude, and independence; and a 2, which personifies companionship, team spirit, harmony, and peace.
The master number 11 is sensitive, dreamy, and idealistic, and it will often have revelations born out of its own experiences with life and the constant search for truth about the mystery of life.
Elevens love to delve into the hidden mystery behind any of the many challenges they're called to face, whether it's the mystery of relationships, money, or the work world. While 11 can participate in the social world, they really live more on the inside than in the external world.
Learning to Surrender to Higher Ideals
One can't seek recognition with any of the master numbers; rather, these are the humanitarian numbers and require one to surrender to higher ideals. The 11 must live in truth, which is revealed through life's lessons. Their most rewarding opportunities will come from living and teaching truth as they see it, the truths they've discovered along the road.
The 11 are intense, and at times electrifying. In fact, they can have trouble with nervousness because the 11 is a highly intense vibration. At the same time, 11 have great courage and are highly creative.
The 11 are humanitarians to the bone —it arises from their very souls. Perhaps it's the 2 in this number that brings their unique ability to bring peace through negotiations.
The Pathway for the 11
The pathway for 11 is often hidden, and they must stumble along until their inner worlds are securely established and then taken out into the outer world. The stress is having to stay centered and balanced at all times because there's a tendency to swing from extremes. This number has the capacity to see the broad picture, to see the vision, to hold the dream —but it must find an outlet where it can be an active participant in the vision.
The 11 are inspirational leaders, however, only when they draw on their cosmic knowledge through profound intuitive abilities. They're leaders only when their vibrations are raised to the two 1s.
If an 11 doesn't respond to the higher vibration, the 11/2 will be working at the lower vibration of the 2, in a position of supporting others. While this is an excellent outlet for the energy of this number, the 11/2 can't play the supporting role forever: The 11 is born to lead and to bring spiritual truths to people, as the master teacher.
As we've suggested, the 11 is a bright light with a spiritual message. In fact, the word "light" adds up to 11
Weaknesses of the 11
The 11 walks the fine line between greatness and self-destruction. This number can be given over to fear and phobias or soar to the heights of the enlightened. The 11 growth and stability lie in the acceptance of his or her unusual gift for intuitive understanding and spiritual truths. In fact, the 11/2 must learn to live with faith: This is where the 11 peace is made.

The meaning of the master number 22 is "Spiritual Master in form." The 22/4 has the unique ability to see the large picture, the details, and the spiritual principles needed to execute all of these into concrete form. This number builds things for humanity.
The 22/4 doesn't just build —it builds big. Once you begin to learn the key words, colors, and gemstones for this master number, you'll begin to understand why.
This master number combines all of the traits of the 2 —twice over —and at the same time includes the traits of the 4. As with the 11/2, it's how these two numbers play out together that's the real story of the 22/4. You might think of this number as two 2s, which embody high sensitivity, intuition, harmony, and relationships; and 4, which represents hard work, discipline, practicality, building, organization, bringing things to form.
For the master number 22/4, the demands of the 2 must blend with the 4, and this is its struggle and its glory. Like the other master numbers, the 22/4 has a heightened sensitivity that gives it a unique ability to sense things, but also, when out of balance, causes health issues.
Mastery through Self-Enterprise
The 22/4 has exceptional organizational ability. That's because the 22/4 has the balance of a focused mind and the highest ideals and brings both to any project or undertaking. The 22/4 is a natural leader, and can use esoteric wisdom to achieve tangible results. This master number has the desire to build big projects or set big goals —and the lesson is to use these desires to bring greater good to all.
The 22/4 is inspired to apply cosmic principles of metaphysics and spiritual and philosophical teachings to the physical and material world, and in this way invent new ways to apply these age-old principles.
Meet the Master Builder
The 22/4 loves to build systems, programs, projects, and organizations that are useful, practical, and uplifting. Naturally, this master builder is highly creative, and is delighted to create something that calls for order, planning, and bringing people to a higher sense of awareness in the process.
The 22/4s are intuitive, natural leaders, and they're creative, much like the 11/2, except that they're better adapted to the world and know better how to deliver the same truths in a more acceptable practical language. Life for the 22/4 is more solid than that of the 11/2, partly because the 22/4 is able to bring into tangible form the ideas the 11/2 can only dream of. With its practical know-how and ability to organize and plan, in fact, the 22/4 manifests dreams.
It's the mission of the 22/4 to elevate its body and make it conscious of the oneness of mind, body, and spirit. This number carries the root number 4, which governs health. For this reason, it's not uncommon to find 22/4 with weak bodies, who have to work on their health, or, at the very least, improve their health using progressive, spirit-honoring methodologies.
Sometimes, 22/4s feel as if they live in two worlds or two realities —the slow, everyday world of details and problems; and the inspired world of creativity, where everything and anything is possible. This master number is very connected to the earth and loves to work with its hands, yet at the same time is equally connected to the world of universal law, spiritual principles, and other world possibilities.
Attributes of the 22/4
The 22/4 is the number of someone who is serious, hardworking, loyal, and supportive. Like all of the master numbers, 22/4s feel things deeply, but don't get caught up in unproductive dreaming. Instead, the dreams of the 22/4 are based on facts and practical usefulness. After all, these are the master doers, and they're willing to work hard to achieve their vision for mankind.
Interestingly, the root of the 22 is the 4, the number of hard work —and the word "work" adds up to a 22:
The 22/4 can function well in arenas that allow for a broad perspective, encompass national and international interests, and promote universal understanding, peace, and higher consciousness.
Weaknesses of the 22/4
Like all of the master numbers, the 22/4 is very sensitive. Because 22/4s have the tendency to be involved in large projects, they can feel overwhelmed when too many obstacles are present, and when this happens, the 22/4 may need to resort to the vibration of the 4 to regain a sense of groundedness.
Remember, master numbers are a very high vibration and require balance of the mental, physical, and emotional body. A 22/4 can become a workaholic, so he or she must stay disciplined about achieving balance and then use his or her powerful energy to build wonderful things that contribute to the general welfare of all.

Life Path Number 22/4
Your special path will lead you to turn dreams into reality. The 22/4 Life Path Number, like the 4, is seen as one who builds and manifests—but with a larger purpose. Once you've mastered this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase—becoming a Master Builder.
You're a born creator of activities that benefit all of humanity, and you're viewed by others as extraordinary. You back up your word with deed, again and again, and others know that your word is as good as gold—or even better. With a 22/4 Life Path Number, good management principles are behind what you do—and what you do is for the lasting good of humankind. Lucky us!
With a 22/4 your career/vocation options could include a planner, organizer, statesman, diplomat, ambassador, president, business executive for a large organization (national or international), promoter, or organizer, because you'll thrive in any line of work that allows you to utilize your considerable talent for organizing, being efficient, and applying your practical know-how to build a dream.
You command respect and are seen as an expert in your field. In fact, you're destined to be a leader who is both practical and inspirational and who understands that success comes not only from cooperation, but from being of service to humankind.
Bill Gates is a 22 ;)
The 33
The meaning of the number 33 is ''Master of Healing Energies Through Love." This number is on the journey of discovering its powerful healing energy through an open heart and unconditional love. Through love and example, the 33/6 awakens others to its depth and understanding of how to make spiritual truths work in the material world.
Key Words:
Altruistic and selfless —those are just two of the key words that begin to describe the 33/6. We've provided colors and gemstones to help you understand this deeply felt master number, too.
The Master Number 33
Key Words
Deep sky blue
Lapis lazuli
Selfless service
Nurturing of the spirit
Crusader for justice
Cosmic parent
Teacher of teachers
Mastery through Giving
For a long time, the 33/6 was thought to be the highest master number there was, signifying the highest human consciousness possible. Because of this, the number 33 has been elevated to nearly divine status, and called the number of the avatar. However, with the expansion of human consciousness, we now allow for other master numbers beyond the 33.
The 33/6 is a champion of the underdog, and exudes compassion, love, and empathy. This master number willingly gives of itself, lending encouragement and heartfelt understanding to all who need help. It's thought that the 33/6 has Christ-like qualities of sacrificing itself for the sake of others. However, because of their tenderheartedness and sensitivity, 33/6s can easily be swept into the despair of others, feeling the deep pain of the world.
The 33/6s are highly emotional and can find themselves in emotional distress from their heartfelt identification with those in need. Like all master numbers, the 33/6 will need to master balance and detachment (but with a caring attitude). These are not easy lessons for this number. Because it's made up of two 3s, this number experiences a double dose of emotional expression.
Plus, with the number 6 (3 + 3) as its root number, it carries the weight of self-imposed responsibility for the welfare of others.
The Prime Directive of the 33/6
The prime directive of the 33/6 is to benefit, serve, and administer to as many people as possible. Because of the strong presence of the need to right injustice and human rights, those with this number are often found caring for the elderly or the handicapped, or in some from of service which benefits humanity. This number is exemplified by Elizabeth K übler-Ross, whose life work is devoted to teaching and helping others understand the process of death and dying.
This number would like to heal all with its love.
Attributes of the 33/6
This master number has a special gift of working with humility and is unaffected by the power it has. If you're a 33/6, many will perceive the light that glows from you and will gladly follow you: Your faith and love show them the way. You see beyond the situation to the good in all people, regardless of color, race, or creed. In fact, you're Love personified.
Weaknesses of the 33/6
The greatest challenge for the 33/6 is to focus his or her emotions on higher goals in tune with spiritual laws, rather than trying to solve each and every problem of humanity. This master number is here to learn detachment, to express love and kindness, and to willingly respond to the needs of others. If the 33/6 remembers the universal principle, "everything happens for a reason, and there is a divine plan for all of life," then the 33/6 will lessen his or her stress and restore balance. In this way, the 33/6 will find direction for his or her own spiritual growth.
The 33/6s may have trouble distinguishing where their service is truly needed due to their confusion over hearing someone's story and deciphering fact from fiction. They will learn that they can't be all things to all people. Remember, 33/6s have come to learn mastery for themselves through loving service, and they must always strive for balance, emotionally and spiritually.
Clear expression of the 33/6's own needs and a willingness to let others be responsible for their own "stuff" is part of what the 33/6 is here to learn. Sacrifice is valuable only as long as there is still a "self" left to do the sacrificing. The 33/6 may be the "Cosmic Parent," and the Master of Healing Energy, but, like all parents and healers, the 33/6 must hold some back for him- or herself.
The lesson of healing with love is to love yourself first and to heal yourself first, so that you may truly be of service to mankind.
Life Path Number 33/6
Your special path will lead you on a journey of unconditional love. With a 33/6 Life Path Number, you'll be learning about selfless service, altruism, and nurturing of the spirit. Once you've mastered these lessons, you'll move on to the next phase—being the cosmic parent.
You're a born champion of the underdog, empathetic and tenderhearted. With a 33/6 Life Path Number, the self is truly secondary to the needs of others, and people with this Life Path are often known for their humanitarianism and giving. Sacrifice comes easily for you if you've got a 33/6 Life Path—but chances are you don't think of it as sacrifice at all.
Any community service project provides a successful career/vocation option for the 33/6 Life Path Number, whether you work with the homeless, on hunger projects, for refugee assistance, on charities that serve the less fortunate, for children's education, or even as a missionary. In addition, you're suited to any job that will allow you to joyfully bring out the best in people, and to serve with love.

Although the Menifee branch of Chase Bank opened their doors to the public on November 1st, the celebratory ribbon-cutting event making it official took place nearly a month later on the morning of Friday, December 2, 2011.
Members of the Menifee Valley Chamber of Commerce officiated the ceremony while Chase Bank team employees, as well as area and district managers, looked on with pride and approval.
Branch manager Laura Riesenberg gave the opening remarks stating, "As the first Chase branch in Menifee, we are excited to serve the city with all of their banking needs."
In reference to their success over their first month in action, Riesenberg observed, "It is the perfect location." Many new customers have opened accounts, and existing customers have switched to the Marketplace branch because of convenience.
Chase bank is currently the largest, and healthiest, bank in the country. With their increasing growth comes a continual need for more employees.

Softball Suffers 7-5 Loss to Illinois
Feb. 17, 2013
Box Score | PDF | Season Stats | Photo Gallery
HOUSTON - The University of Houston softball team closed out the Hilton Houston Plaza Invite with a 7-5 loss to Illinois on Sunday afternoon at Cougar Softball Stadium. Houston (7-4) went 3-2 over the weekend returns to action in a pair of midweek games on Feb. 26 and 27 at home against HBU and UTSA.
Haley Outon (0-for-1, 2 RBI) lifted a fly ball deep to left field for one of two RBI sac flys on the day to give Houston the 1-0 lead in the first inning. Outon demonstrated her power all weekend leading Houston hitters and second behind Texas' Taylor Thom (4 HR, 13 RBI) with eight RBI and two homeruns in the five games.
Holly Anderson singled and scored off fellow senior Reina Gaber's double in the third inning as Houston answered a run in the top of the inning to regain the lead. Gaber would come around to score off another Outon fly out to give Houston their final lead of the game at 3-1.
Anderson had half of Houston's four hits going 2-for-4 in the game, and led the team in hits with seven ( 7-for18) over the weekend. Outon and Anderson tied for the team lead in runs (2). Gaber was second on the team with six hits (6-for-17) in the Invite.
Summer Groholski started the contest and ran into trouble in the fourth inning, suffering the loss giving up five runs, with just one earned, on six hits, with three strikeouts in 4.1 innings of work. Bailey Watts took over in relief with bases loaded and hit a batter before getting out of the jam.
The Illini (5-5) added a single run, including two solo home runs, in the next three innings to pull away from the Cougars and split the season series.
Trailing 7-3 in the seventh inning, freshman Julana Shrum pinch hit for Kendra Cullum and made her first hit in a Houston uniform a memorable moment by knocking the ball against the scoreboard to cut the lead in half.
Illini pitcher Pepper Gay (4-2) was able to shut down the next two batters to pick up her second win of the tournament.

Home-buyers need to proceed with caution. History may repeat yet again in the U.S. mortgage and housing market.
In United States, the common wisdom for decades was to buy a house as soon as possible since it is considered a great investment with mouth-watering payoff. That wisdom turned many people upside down during the 2008-2009 mortgage crises when many home-owners defaulted after they suddenly discovered that the values of their houses did not appreciate as was expected.
Yet timing is very critical when it comes to buying a house in America. Sometimes, it can be a challenging task to figure out the right time to buy a house. Generally speaking, houses are horribly expensive in America, with the slightest up-tick or down-tick in the market costing or saving huge sums to both the sellers and the buyers. In the past few years, house prices has soared, which means that those buyers who had waited turned out to be the losers. But, scrambling onto the housing ladder now is still unwise given that the current slowing prices, weak construction data and jitters about a possible interest rate rise are good indicators that prices may drop as they did half a decade ago(Economist, 2014). The big question, of course, is whether scrambling onto the housing ladder makes any sense at all.
Home-buyers in America has real reasons to be nervous: they are living witnesses to the crises of 2008 and 2009 in which home values(prices ) fell by 60 percent in many states. Yet the country's housing market has recovered in a remarkable way. In the north-east the median property prices are well above highs, rising by 51 percent from 2009 to 2013. In the Midwest and Southern part of United States, prices rose more than the previous peaks observed in 2012. Home prices are, however, worth less now than in the bubbly mid-2000 only in one region: the Western part of America. In spite of this, their prices in this area are rising fast, increasing by over 20 percent in 2013(Dougherty, 2013). If this current trend continues in that region, there's a high chance that the prices increase will beat past records by the end of the year.
Many home buyers, and even some real estate agents worry about this rebound, because it could mean that a new housing bubble is forming(Pinto & Oliner, 2014). Broadly speaking, house rents are a good yardstick for measuring or forecasting housing bubbles: when there's high demand, it makes sense if house prices rise in line with rent. In contrast, it doesn't make sense when house prices outstrip rents, as has been the case recently. In other words, there's good reason for homebuyers to worry.
The signs that the housing market is stalling are already showing up. On April 22nd and 23rd, the National Association of Realtors(NAR) released an interesting data that revealed a bloodless market. According to the NAR data, existing home sales were down for the seventh time in eight months. In march 2014, the home sales was 7.5 percent lower than the same period in 2013. The performance of new-home sales were not better than the existing ones: they were 14.5 percent down between February and March. Overall, price rise are slowing: In April 2014, annual prices rises was 6.9 percent, which represents a decrease from over 8 percent recorded the previous year. In places like New England, the price decrease was even bigger, with a value of 2.5 percent in a single month(Economist, 2014).
Deal, or no deal?
In spite of these omens, buyers can still be brave, for three reasons. First, the steady flow of cheap distressed houses in the market is drying up. Over a third of all house sales made between 2008 and 2011 belong to this category. Note that those houses in this category are either foreclosed homes or are homes that are being sold at a loss, with a significant proportion of them belonging to different banks. On the positive side, the backlog is clearing, and in this current year(2014) only about 11 percent of house sales is expected to be from this distressed stock.
Second, new houses are not being built fast enough. As a matter of fact, the supply of new houses is severely crimped. It should be pointed out here that during the financial crises, many small builders in America went to the wall. Among this category of builders, the survivors are having a difficult time because banks seldom give them loans to build more houses. This means that the pace of building in America has remained far below its pre-crises average. Thus it is not surprising why the supply of new homes has not responded to perky prices. This period is also a good time for the larger home builders. Since they can easily get loans, they have the field almost to themselves. Given that they have less competition from the small builders, they can influence supply, which in turn, may cause prices to drift even higher.
The third reason is that new homes will not be cheap ones, even if supply does improve in the long run. This is because of the rising construction cost, which is more than 15 percent from 2012 to 2014(Turner Building Cost Index, 2013; Economist, 2014). In addition, the median prices on new and existing homes have also diverged: the current cost of new homes can be as much as 38 percent more than than a lived-in home.
The recent housing data, to some reasonable extent, makes an increase in interest rate even less likely. The Federal Reserve does not have much to worry since the overall household debt is falling and the number of cash-funded sales in the country is rising. Also, due to predictions of future rises in interest rate, buying new homes have become more challenging: In March 2014, a 30-year mortgage rates was 4.34 percent, compared to 3.57% at the same period in 2013(Mortgage Information Service, 2014). By combining the effects of high rates, lower leverage and evidence that the current high prices reflect supply constraints more than speculative demand, it makes sense to infer that the Federal Reserve has no reason to increase the interest rate – an act that can make homeowners's lives less easy.
