Weird Giant Spiral Seen in Sky over Norwayby Nancy Atkinson
Apparently, this is not a Photoshopped image, as there are several more just like it, taken from various locations. This morning in northern Norway, people saw a strange light in the sky which shocked residents and so far, the phenomenon has yet to be explained. This picture was taken from a pier, looking to the east, approximately at 07.50 am local time. "I can imagine that it went on for two, three minutes," said the photographer Jan Petter Jørgensen. "It was unbelievable. I was quite shaken when I saw it."
"It consisted initially of a green beam of light similar in colour to the aurora with a mysterious rotating spiral at one end," said another eyewitness, Nick Banbury of Harstad, quoted on Spaceweather.com. "This spiral then got bigger and bigger until it turned into a huge halo in the sky with the green beam extending down to the earth. According to the press, this could be seen all over northern norway and must therefore have been very high up in the atmosphere to be seen hundreds of km apart."
Here's a link to a video of the spiral forming.
"[A popular] suggestion at the moment is that it was a rocket shot up by a Russian submarine in the White Sea, but the Russians deny this apparently. A big mystery indeed!"
UPDATE (Dec. 10): Russia has finally admitted a missile accident with the Bulava ICBM. This rocket already has failed six of 13 previous tests, according to the BBC, so Russia might have been a little embarrassed about it. See our additional article the on "Norway Spiral."
According to NRK, there were advance warnings about several Russian missile launches from the White Sea from December 7-10, but an anonymous source in the Northern Fleet said they had no information about the incident. Press Attaché from Russia's Embassy in Oslo, Vladimir Isupov, did not have any immediate information that could explain the light phenomenon over Northern Norway.
UPDATE: Doug Ellison from UnmannedSpaceflight.com did a very cool simulation of a tumbling rocket stage throwing out unspent fuel in two directions, and what it would look like. The question, though would be how the spiral of fuel was lit. It possibly could have been back-lit by the soon-to-rise sun.
Another eyewitness said, "We saw it from the Inner Harbor in Tromsø. It was absolutely fantastic. It almost looked like a rocket that spun around and around, and then went diagonally down the heavens. It looked like the moon was coming over the mountain, but then came something completely different, "said Totto Eriksen.
We'll keep you posted on any explanations that come out on this!
I also received a report today from a geophysicist in Papua, Indonesia who observed "an enormous flare (bolide?) visible here at Tomage (2°39'27″S 132°59'27″E), and the sighting was at a bearing approximately 165 (East of South) and the flare seemed to begin at about 30 degrees above the horizon." Paul Anderson said the date and time of the flare was approximately 2009.12.09 12:39 UTC
"I have seen meteors all my life but this was extraordinarily bright and lit up the sky. Not sure what the trajectory was aside from a slight (15 degrees, perhaps) trend to the West but this should probably be known
somewhere. My guess is it entered steeply from the North," he said.
Anyone else in or near Indonesia see anything similar?
Sources: Vaeret, Altaposten, NRK, Spaceweather.com
If nothing else this is going to send the UFO nuts into overdrive for the next few days — until the next "mystery" comes along.
And all the Norwegians now have X-ray vision. See through clothes! Fool your friends!
Seriously though….that's pretty weird. I hope they publish the real cause of it!!
Now, that´s an UFO!
Oh God they're here. I hope they have brought new flavors of ice cream from distant worlds.
No, it doesn't look for the flying anywhere.
* look to be
It's not Dec ember 21st 2012 yet – so I am not worried at all by this apparent alien take over.
Looking at all the videos and photos linked from SpaceWeather.com I noticed a few that showed a bright contrail, separate from the green corkscrew and spiral, rising in a twilight sky. That's a rocket contrail. It should be interesting to hear the official explanation as to what exactly happened with this launch.
My guess, if there is no hoax involved, is that it's some marker chemical sprayed into an auroral vortex (what are known to exist – I wasn't aware that they could be this big and well defined). Now will you review my book?
@ Clatonium-
Genuinely LOL'd
I saw something like this many years ago. We lived miles east of Los Angeles which was replacing electric trolleys With busses and freeways. Still not much smog so it was clear and one could see a long way.
Something shot up from Vandenberg AFB and soon began to spin. The next day, the newspapers had a small article about an unsuccessful missile launch.
Too organized to be natural. I would guess it was some type of missle test, but then again why would you test something at 7-8am when there would be thousands of witnesses…
I saw a rocket from White Sands Missile Range fly out of control. It did not spiral around like this, but rather randomly went around a region of the sky. It moved at about a comparable speed across the sky as this.
Well, the witness accounts of the "green beam" remaining in view until after the spiral expanded into a halo would seem to rule out a missile or rocket test explanation.
I live in New Jersey in the USA and some friends of mine saw something very similar while fishing one night. who knows what it could be but i would love to know. Apparently it was gone as fast as it came.
Isn't it too regularly shaped for a failed rocket missile test? And why would they test it so close and visible to all?
Oh no!!!
It's NASA's Secret Massive Extragalactic Spiral Galaxy Generator (SMEGG) being finally exposed!
I believe it is the barred-spiral generator and not the elliptical generator, the latter they have been testing for the last forty of fifty years.
Some employee is sure gonna get it now. He'll and probably lose his job, or worse might be jailed forever for exposing state secrets! Poor fella!
Hold on there conspiracy theoirist and alien believers. Sure it was Russian missile called "BULAVA". Another failed test. It was test number 13 by the way. It was self-destructed on the third stage of its launch. It was comparatively more successful test compared to previous ones when the rocket was destructed on the first and the second stages. The missile was mounted on Russian nuclear submarine "Dmitry Donsky".
The Russian SS-NX-30, or Bulava, is an intercontinental-range, submarine launched, solid propellant ballistic missile. It is version of world's most advanced ICBM RS-24.
So here you have it all folks.

This undated photo provided by Felipe Montes via the Applied Research Center shows Montes and his wife, Marie Montes, and one of their three boys. When immigration agents deported Montes to Mexico two years ago, his three young sons _ American citizens _ were left in the care of their mentally ill, American-born mother. Within two weeks, social workers placed the boys in foster care. Montes and his wife want the children to live with him in Mexico, saying they are better off with their father than with strangers in the U.S. He works at a walnut farm and shares a house with his uncle, aunt and three nieces. But child welfare officials have asked a judge to strip Montes of his parental rights, arguing the children will have a better life here. Such a ruling could clear the way for their adoption.

"We got our rug and runner about 2 years. I had seen the rug at a store about 120 miles from us. They wanted a great deal of money for just the large area rug. I went online and found rugsale.com area rugs. After just a couple of emails and a phone call we got a wonderful deal. Our rug and runner arrived 10 days later. They are beautiful, the colors stay bright and so easy to clean. The runner still slips around but we have two dogs and grandkids that sometimes run through the house. I had a great experience and will buy from RugSale again!!"
Beautiful rug that has withstood kids and dogs.

I have not had one enrollment which I've really tried I also was told I needed to join MOMS FOR LIFE which I did I purchased 14 leads for $20.00 and most of them were disconnected or had already been called or not interested.I canceled my membership in writing on 2/23/2004 mailed it express with signature so they would receive it by 2/25/2004. I also returned all my containers for a REFUND.We'll see how long it takes.
I also told them the products were over priced not what I expected a rip-off and I wanted a full refund.There is a lot of pressure sales you cannot even hear the company name or any thing about it until you do a conference call. That right there should have told me to back off but I did not but I hoped I learned a good lesson.Thanks

My experience with Melaleuca
AUTHOR: Meg - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, February 27, 2006POSTED: Monday, February 27, 2006
My enroller worked with me as long as I needed to be comfortable with calling the leads that she gave me. She still sends me leads, at her expense, and I am enrolling people fairly regularly. I also leave some lotion and candles out at work, which I have been asked about by many co-workers, and have had several enrollments for customers there. (I let them ask me, I will not badger anyone.)
I did have one shipment where they left some items out, which they shipped out to me overnight the very day I called in to report the error. My enroller and upline have taught me that if someone asks for information about the company, you can provide that right away, and do not have to take the person on the conference call if they do not want to. As for the prices, I have found them to be about the same or cheaper than the store brands.
Some of the products are concentrated, so you can not always compare an ounce of Melaleuca product to an ounce of another stores brand. You have to measure how many loads of laundry they will clean, etc. I personally feel better having these products in my home, and will not purchase some store brands that contain harmful chemicals. Again, this has been my experience, and I just wanted to share.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

She must shop at the .99 cent store and if you want to compare pricing to that store then, yes our wellness quality productsare more expensive than those at the .99 store.. Now let me remind you they do not sell wellness products at that store.
Pam, if that's all you have then may God bless you and I wish you luck in the future.
Melaleuca has changed our lives, not only through Physical Wellness, Financial Wellness and Personal Wellness. I wonder why they have been in business for 20 years and growing every year. I tell you why, because they have exceptional products at reasonable prices.. Less expensive than grocery store brands.
They have the BEST customer service I have ever seen than any company I have shopped with.
Totally Disagree,

"Tumut and the surrounds..." Tumut by CandS
Tumut Travel Guide: 68 reviews and 262 photos
I have been to the Tumut area many times for different things... It's a great area and there is so much to see and do. It is around one hours drive from my home town of Wagga Wagga so it is a place I take my overseas visitors to...
If you are wanting to see some real Aussie wildlife then the Tumut area is a great place for you!!!! We took our Dutch friends Bianca and Anne along on one trip and we saw lots of kangaroos and emus while driving around.
Camping is especially great at Tumut...the dam is a wonderful place to go camping, fishing, skiing, horse riding, boating etc. :)
As for Tumut itself...the town has around 7,500 people. It is 275 metres above sea level. The Aboriginal meaning of Tumut is something like "a quiet resting place by the river"...a great name for the place. :)
- In a nutshell:Great place to 'get away from it all'... :)

Can't believe I went to Adelong and forgot to contact you guys. I didn't relate Wagga to Adelong and it was a rushed trip. Sorry about that. Cheers, Ian
I taught in Tumut for a year - Talbingo Dam was just being built. Such a pretty place. cheers -Leyle aka TheFootlooseEmu.
Hey Sherie, love the emu pic :o) And those pipes, wow, humungous! Thanks for sharing. Ann :o)

Happy New Year all!! I had my last appt right before Christmas on 12/23 at 12wks and now on the 2nd trimester schedule of every 3 weeks - so no appt for me until 1/16. Baby is really growing now and I actually look pregnant - which is so cool (never got that far before). Had to go shopping for maternity wear - hoping for my energy levels to return soon. Goo luck on appts this week - can't wait to hear all the good reports..HUGS!!

I have a prenatal appt on Thursday (12w) and on Saturday the big NT scan! (12w2d)┬Ā I'm really looking forward to seeing our little bean. Like you, Skeeter, I haven't had a scan since 8 weeks.┬Ā It'll be really cool to see how big it is now!
GL everyone!┬Ā Don't forget to post updates!
Vicki (33) & DH (34), est. 1999. Our Rainbow miracle Cora, 07/13/12, and our Homebirth baby Tessa, 09/16/14. 2 on earth, 2 in heaven.
My NT scan is tommorrow at 1pm( approximately 22 hours and 59 min to go!)┬Ā I will be 12 w 1 day and I'm extra excited to see how baby is doing. I have a ton of questions to ask my MD but the most important is "Is baby ok and healthy?" My last ultrasound was at 8 weeks so of course these last 4 weeks have been the longest ever.┬Ā Good Luck to everyone with appts this week!

OMG Mrsmonty and Vicki the last 5 weeks has been the longest time ever between appointments / u/s. I've been trying not to go crazy but as the symptoms change day to day it's hard not to be a little overhelmed a day here and there.┬ĀI'm hoping after this appointment that everything will indicate the pregnancy is going well and┬ĀI actually allow myself to be excited.┬Ā
Me (39) DH (44) Married 2007
Daughter 7/13/12
I hope so too, Skeeter!┬Ā It's so hard to be excited, isn't it?┬Ā I'm still struggling with that too.┬Ā┬Ā It'll be nice when we get more regular appointments!┬Ā Do you have a doppler at home?┬Ā That's been seriously keeping me sane, esp. after I stopped progesterone injections and estrace last week.┬Ā I was convinced I was going to kill my baby when I stopped those meds!┬Ā So irrational.

Hi Ladies,
I just wanted to give an update to my appt yesterday.┬Ā Everything is going great! Baby was moving all over the place but did sit still long enough to have his nuchal fold measured at 1.16. Chances of Down's Syndrome was reduced to 1:10,000 and Trisomy 18/21 to 1:3396!┬Ā Feeling so relieved now!┬Ā After getting a 75% prediction it's a boy he turned his back to the ultrasound and went to sleep! ┬ĀI see he's already has his father's ways!
Maybe now I can relax a little and just enjoy being pregnant!┬Ā I will go back for ultrasounds at 16wks and 20 wks just to make sure everything is ok due to my previous mc but for now I'm just feeling blessed! ┬ĀGood Luck to everyone else who has appts this week!

NEW YORK — Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has been keeping its lawyers busy this month.
This story first appeared in the December 24, 2002 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The world's largest company said Monday it has settled a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The commission said it ordered the Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer to pay $220,000 in damages to Jamey Stern and begin comprehensive training regarding the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978.
The settlement is in lieu of a further trial on punitive damages or money damages to punish the company and deter others from discrimination.
The EEOC originally filed the suit in 1994, alleging the company refused to rehire Stern at its Green Valley, Ariz., store because she told the personnel manager she was pregnant.
Wal-Mart officials could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
It's been a busy month, legally speaking, for Wal-Mart. As reported, the giant was found guilty by a federal jury last Thursday for forcing employees to work unpaid overtime between 1994 and 1999. Damages in the Oregon case will be determined after a separate trial next year. Wal-Mart hasn't decided yet if it will appeal.

This occurs after you've powered on your Lyric thermostat, configured the HVAC settings and connected your thermostat to your home's Wi-Fi network.
First, you'll want to be as close as possible to the thermostat. The geofence will be drawn around the current location of your smartphone. Lyric will temporarily turn on your phone's GPS to determine the precise location of your thermostat.
NOTE, the GPS receiver in your phone is exclusively used during this configuration step. The geofencing feature does not require a GPS signal and won't have a noticeable impact on your battery life.
NOTE: if your thermostat is installed in the basement or interior of your home, you may want to step toward a window to assure your phone is able to determine its location.
You'll see a map of your neighborhood, with a blue dot at the center representing your current location. The blue circle represents the current size of your geofence. When you leave the circle, The Shortcut with the default name of "I'm Leaving Home" will change your thermostat's setpoint to your preferred "Away" temperature. When you cross from the outside to the inside of the geofence boundary, the Shortcut with the default name of "When I Arrive" will change your thermostat's setpoint to your preferred "Home" temperature.
To set your geofence size, drag the black dot on the blue circle (your geofence boundary) in or out until it's at your preferred distance. You can think of the dotted black line between your home and your geofence as the balance between comfort (closest to the black dot) and savings (closest to the blue dot). You can always come back and adjust the size of your geofence at any time.
When your geofence is where you'd like it, tap Save.

Local man carving out a plan for his collections
Published: Friday, May 9, 2008 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 9, 2008 at 1:19 p.m.
The story of Don Gomez isnt one about the nice man down the street who likes to carve birds on the weekends. No, its a tale of sacrifice, determination and overwhelming passion -- not passion of the dime-store novel variety, but the kind that makes you forget to eat, the kind where you know God put you on this earth to do one thing and youre going to do it no matter what.
Thats Don Gomezs story. Hes not a carver; hes a CARVER.
"I believe 100 percent in destiny," the 56-year-old Houma resident said. It was destiny that led him, as a 12-year-old growing up in Opelousas, to write a book report on John James Audubon. Audubon, a one-time New Orleans resident, rose to fame for his "Birds of America," an anthology of more than 400 hand-colored drawings of American birds.
Thats when Gomez knew why he had been put on this earth -- to follow in Audubons footsteps and maybe even surpass him. It didnt come to pass until he was 27 and moved to Houma. On a trip to the mall, he saw a man carving ducks and immediately realized he could carve birds, too, and do it better than the man in the mall.
"This is a passion of a lifetime. I always knew I would accomplish what no man has," he said.
In his first year of carving, he earned second place in a Gulf South competition. In his second year, he made the jump to first place in an international competition. He was finally doing what he loved, and, just as he had suspected, he was the best at it.
It isnt always easy to follow a dream, especially one that demands complete dedication and often offers few rewards, especially financial ones, for a family man with six children. Each bird he carves requires an average of 300 hours. One duck takes a full month to take shape. A bald eagle, such as the one on display at Buquet Distributing in Houma, is six months of work. But its a magical process, watching a block of tupelo wood from the Louisiana swamps, become a seemingly living, breathing creature of exact proportion, size and detail.
Despite the lean times, Gomez kept carving his birds full time, knowing that he wasnt just doing this for himself. No, his dreams went much broader than personal satisfaction. Gomez was doing this for the residents of Louisiana and America. He saw a day when Louisiana could lay claim to a collection of 4,000 carved birds representing all the American species, a collection like nothing else in the world.
Sculpting these birds has become an obsession for Gomez, one that brings him to tears just talking about how it drives him.
"I knew I had to give myself to this. I saw the goal," he said. "I love it and I cant put it down. It owns me and theres nothing else I can do. Its like Audubon passed the baton to me. When I went to visit his home and saw his room with his paintbrushes laid out, I literally wept because I know the price he paid. I know the passion and the love that drives him. I know what he felt."
When former governor Mike Foster, an avid outdoorsman, saw his work, he commissioned Gomez to create a collection for his Oaklawn Manor Plantation in Franklin.
Gomez spent four years creating a collection of 50 mated pairs of Louisiana ducks for Foster, and has since added another 110 carvings to Fosters display.
"Im already making history," he said. "No one else has ever done this; no one else has ever carved more than one collection. Im the first."
Hes created five large collections, each containing about 50 birds. He carves ducks, geese, songbirds, shore birds, birds of prey -- if its a bird, hell carve it. His elite clientele stretch from Hong Kong to Tokyo to Puerto Rico and New York. In 2004, he was commissioned by first lady Laura Bush to create a brown pelican for the White House, which earned him an invitation to the presidential Christmas party. In total, hes sculpted more than 400 birds already.
In 2002, he was the only one of his field to earn the Louisiana Governors Arts Award as Folk Artist of the Year for his contributions to the quality of life through the arts. In the 2008 regular session, Gomez was recognized by the Louisiana Senate and House of Representatives for his "prolific and highly distinguished career" and his "dedication to capturing the beauty of Louisianas birds through his masterful representations."
Gomez is currently working to develop a private endowment that would allow him to spend the rest of his life sculpting birds for the Louisiana State Museum.
A curator 30 years ago estimated that Gomezs collection would be valued at $250,000. But that was 30 years ago, Gomez said.
Now a collection of the magnitude hes planning could be used as collateral for the state and to attract tourists.
"Like with the Audubon collection in New York, tourists would converge upon Louisiana," he said. "And never again would the state have to search for funding to improve the infrastructure or to build levees. They could use this collection as collateral.
"This is the last collection Ill ever do," Gomez added. Its a collection that he estimates will take another 40 or 50 years, but he has a backup plan in motion already -- a son whose painting already adorn buildings in downtown Houma. When hes no longer able to continue to collection, his son will take over for him, keeping the Gomez name alive.
"I never got financial success, but I kept in mind what this would mean to my family and to the citizens of Louisiana," he said. "Its all self-less but thats what love is."

A new entry-level, ready-built Caterham Seven sports car will be launched this autumn with first deliveries of the £17,000 model expected before the end of 2014.
The new Caterham Seven boats a five-speed Suzuki gearbox, adapted by Caterham's sister firm Caterham Teechnology and Innovation. The model also features a lightweight 660cc turbocharged three-cylinder engine sourced from Suzuki. It's the same engine used in the Japanese-market Suzuki Jimny, and will be the smallest and most efficient engine ever fitted to a Caterham.
This back-to-basics approach means the new Seven is set to become the lightest model ever produced by Caterham, weighing less than the 550kg Caterham Seven Roadsport, which starts from £19,995.
Caterham Cars CEO, Graham Macdonald, said: "Suzuki is a leader in producing compact vehicles with extremely efficient engines and that is clearly a shared passion. We needed a particularly light powertrain but it had to be a unit that suited the characteristics inherent to all Sevens – thankfully, after lots of hard work, we have a package that works brilliantly.
"Our intention for this car is to offer the joy of the Seven in distilled form, so the new entry-level car is lighter, cheaper, more economical and more accessible than ever."
While Caterham does already have a £14,495 Classic model, it uses old technology and the Caterham Seven kit needs to be assembled by the customer.

Customer Reviews
Genius Bar - Gone - App is useless without it
I rarely write reviews. But I needed to make a Genius Bar reservation today, and thought it would take me five minutes, which is what it has taken in the past. But I had an old version of the app, and it required me to update to the newest version before I could continue. This latest version no longer makes it possible (as far as I can tell) to make a Genius Bar reservation. After many false leads, I ended up in a chat with my initial problem and had the chat person set up the genius bar appointment for me, since I couldn't do it through the app OR on the website. Please - Bring back the ability to create, view and alter Genius Bar appointments. It was an extremely useful feature, and very easy to use. Something that should've taken me 5 minutes ended up taking about 30. What a waste of time.
OMG this is enough to look elsewhere
In our family we have 7 iPhones 6 Macbook Air laptops, 4 iPads, 3 iPad mini, 3 Apple TV and 1 iMac. I only use Microsoft products at work because I have to. Yes Apple products are good but it's the support that keeps us coming back. This new app has totally destroyed that. I have been trying for 2 days to figure out how to make a Genius Bar appt. What used to be a few intuitive Apple clicks on the Apple Store app is now a horrible experience that reminds me of using Windows 10 and Internet explorer. Did Apple gobble up some out of work Microsoft programmers to put together this new app. If this is the new Apple I will be reevaluating my next computer purchase and suggest all reevaluate their portfolios both computer and stock. Apple headed down is the next headline I'm expecting to see. Come on guys. Get it fixed. We're still here. For now.
Where to make a Genius Bar appointment???
Yet another HUGE mistake under the Tim Cook reign: cutting back on customer service. The previous version of this app's best feature was the easy ability to make an appointment at the Genius Bar. Now that feature is gone. Apple is apparently trying to shift customers away from having face to face support and would rather shift customers to online support. Really??? Given the fact that Apple products continue to lose ground to their competition in every category the one differential that keeps many of us loyal is the ability to realitivly easy was to meet with a friendly knowledgeable expert that fixes issues with the product. After nearly two decades as an Apple enthusiast I am getting ready to bounce to Samsung for my first non-Apple smartphone, especially if the 3.5 earphone jack disappears.

Religion has so many connections to political and economic beliefs, there needs to be a place to identify linkages, problems, goals, options, action plans and evaluation criteria.

An eternal question, what is the purpose of life?, occupied philosophers' thoughts throughout history. Stone pictographs reveal even primitive peoples reflected on this query. Each one has the capacity to define his or her personal thinking about politics, economics and religion.

Not being with the abuse; being with herself.
I'm amazed. Who gave her what it took to do what she did?
I was amazed like that about 20 years when my youngest brother, then about 50, told me what he'd done when he was about 15 and I was away finishing college. He told me our dad made noises like he was going to hit my brother. My brother told him, "You hit me and I'll hit you back!"
When I was 15 my dad was too strong for me to take on in a fist fight or any other kind of fight. I had to swallow my anger. It came out years later when I was doing politics in Arizona. My dad was still alive but too old and frail to give me any satisfaction. I now laugh when I say I took on Arizona's most powerful politicians. One of them gave me a compliment: he tried to get me fired from my job, and failed.
I didn't understand your "being" remark as being with the abuse. Did you mean it that way?
I understood it as being with one's self.
Tom, about bullying. I understand what you mean by avoiding idealism and cynicism. Your example of an attorney stepping between a bully and another illustrates it well. He was able to end the confrontation with a simple, "I am his attorney!" That would stop a lot of such events taking place. It would be a good line if one could get away with it. In a way, that is what I talked about in this last piece. The attorney knew he had power because he knew law and human nature. That confidence makes others take note without violence.
Let us take another scenario. A ten year old girl made a diorama for a school competition. It was cardboard box with one side cut away and an Indian village was created inside the box. Sand created hills, sticks were trees, a mirror was a lake. She won first place in her school competition and was to go to the county fair with her village. There were grasses in the box with seeds. Living in Texas, if she had brought the box into the house, those awful beetles would start hatching. After a conference it was decided the safest, best place was in the tool shed on top of the insecticides. Her father, a full colonel at that time, came home from work, saw the diorama in the shed, threw it to the driveway and stomped it to pieces.
The little ten year old girl stood before him, her hands on her hips, her nose just level with his bronze belt buckle, and she said, "You don't have a right to treatment me this way."
This is what I mean by courage! This little girl, so tiny, so sure of herself that she wouldn't remain quiet or passive in the face of a bully. She was firm, confident, and determined. Can a child be trained to take command, especially when a child is being bullied by a parent, teacher, sibling or school mate?
I like the thought of "just being"! However, life presents tough challenges of abuse of all kinds. Just being with abuse is not an answer. It fosters fear, depression, anxiety and rewards violence.
Yes, I would like an ideal world where each individual gives and receives respect. Respect does not come as a gift; it has to be earned. To love unconditionally is an idea that bares bitter fruit in the presence of domination/submission.
I very much respect your question and it deserves further thought.
Avoid idealism and cynicism and just be.
Joan, you wrote something like a few posts ago. I liked it and it stuck in my mind.
I had earlier put realism between idealism and cynicism, and came to see that people who can just be have more power to change things than idealists, cynics, or people who claim to be realists.
Have you given any thought to what just being requires?
I have, and recalled an event. A retired attorney I met a few years ago, often had lunch with, and got to know had what it took to just be. I saw him dispose of a bullying incident by calmly stepping between bullies and their intended victim. No noisy demand; just "I'm his attorney."
Without the details, which would take a while to describe, the bullies (state employees) backed off and a written policy change resulted.
The calmness requires some self confidence (personal power) and a few more things.
I'm working on it. What are your thoughts?
MARC FABER: Not Even Gold Will Save You From What Is Coming
Bubbles and bubbles and bubbles; bubbles always bust!
"When you print money, the money does not flow evenly into the economic system. It stays essentially in the financial service industry and among people that have access to these funds, mostly well-to-do people. It does not go to the worker. I just mentioned that it doesn't flow evenly into the system.
"Now from time to time it will lift the NASDAQ like between 1997 and March 2000. Then it lifted home prices in the U.S. until 2007. Then it lifted the commodity prices in 2008 until July 2008 when the global economy was already in recession. More recently it has lifted selected emerging economies, stock markets in Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, up four times from 2009 lows and now the U.S.
"So we are creating bubbles and bubbles and bubbles. This bubble will come to an end. My concern is that we are going to have a systemic crisis where it is going to be very difficult to hide. Even in gold, it will be difficult to hide."
~ MARC FABER, Mar. 27, 2013
You Have the Right to Remain Silent: The United Police States of Am...
"the top law enforcement official in the country, Attorney General Eric Holder, just told Congress that he had no intention of seeking criminal indictments against the nation's top bankers, despite a wide-spread conviction that they are all guilty of the most massive fraud and theft in the history of the country, because he says such prosecutions could "destabilize" the nation's financial system. So the banksters skate while Willie James Sauls rots in prison the rest of his life.
Welcome to the United Police States of America."

Get Your Money Out of the Banks
Do you remember that outrageous plan in Cyprus last week to take funds out of all bank accounts, which meant take the savings of working class people so they would not disturb the bankrupt nation? Well, here is a cautionary tale that will have feet unless wage earners refuse to allow such thefts to happen.
I am very sorry to say this is not an early April Fools joke.
Option 1 sit and wait to see what happens.
Option 2 check to see if your bank funds are secure with guarantees.
Option 3 Make a lot of noise before IMF
Option 4 I don't have any idea what is a wise decisions, talk to others.
The Fun-filled Ocean Resort at Guantánamo Bay
" If you're looking for a fun activity-filled resort to take your family for a summer vacation, you simply cannot do better than Club GTMO, according to a new glossy travel guide just published by Robert Johnson, the Military and Defense Editor of Business Insider, under the guise of a news article. Scrumptious meals. Video games galore for the kids. Outdoor sports. Newspapers from your hometown delivered by smiling bellhops to the front door of your villa. Picturesque Caribbean vistas. All that and more can be yours - provided that you're "compliant". What more could vacationers - or prisoners kept in a cage for more than a decade with no charges thousands of miles away from their family - possibly want? They are, proclaims Johnson, treated "absurdly well". Not just well: absurdly well. They are, he actually writes, lavished with "resort treatment"."

The 12th Anniversary of American Cowardice What You Don't Know Can ...
"It's true that, last week, few in Congress cared to discuss, no less memorialize, the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Nonetheless, two anniversaries of American disasters and crimes abroad -- the "mission accomplished" debacle of 2003 and the 45th anniversary of the My Lai massacre -- were at least noted in passing in our world. In my hometown paper, the New York Times, the Iraq anniversary was memorialized with a lead op-ed by a former advisor to General David Petraeus who, amid the rubble, went in search of all-American "silver linings."
~ Tom Engelhardt, March 28, 2013
"If my soldiers were to begin to think, not one would remain in the ranks"
~ Frederick The Great
Tom, one thing I have learned is that bullies were bullies because all society thought it was OK for men to bully women and children, and women to bully children, and children to bully other children. If enough people can stand and face the fear of bullying things change, or if people can find ways to evict bullies from their lives, things get better. It is a very lonely thing if bullying is tolerated and met with silence. One standing alone is dangerous. Joining with others and persuading others to reject the bully, change can occur.
Bullying in families, schools and society can be brought down with awareness and then courage to confront it.

I'm currently using WP Widget Cache to individually set cache settings for each widget.
I tried running Hyper Cache on top of this, but it overrides the sidebar displays, as it appears to cache them as well, no matter how I have widgets individually set to cache via WP Widget Cache. Therefore, Hyper Cache is unusable to me at this time.
Therefore, I would like to suggest that Hyper Cache have a setting to not cache sidebar content at all. Ideally, I would like Hyper Cache to cache the post/page content alone, sans header, footer, sidebars, which would never be cached unless one is using a separate plugin to cache them.

Boy: Miles Bennett (Bennett is my husbands BFF who is passing of Kidney issues)
Girl: Alea Grace (Alea is my sisters name)
Wow - I can't believe it but I can pronounce without question all of the names you all have posted. Way to go girls! lol When I looked at the list from the June 2013 Birth Group about half seemed like they were made up. My husband is a teacher and I used to teach and we would always shake our heads at the made up names.
I agree than when you teach you have to cross off half the names becuase they remind you of a student that you might not want to be reminded of. So, we are still working on names. I really like Frankie for a boy, but am afraid he might get picked on for it. Also if it is a girl it will be Elizabeth (she will be 4th generation) but not sure on the nickname yet.
Jeff+Elizabeth - July 2006
Thomas James - January 2009
Edwin Michael - June 2013
Charlize Heaven-Isis 5/24/01, Elijah Zachariah 10/19/02, Leeana Marie 5/10/06, Elyzavet Anastasia 4/19/2012 and due 6/25/2013 Tiberius Bruce-Lee ;)
If we have a girl she will be named after our moms, Corliss Ann Victoria. I know, 2 middle names, but I really want Corliss Ann after my mom who passed away when I was 12, but also want to honor DH's mom/grandma by using thier middle name too. We plan to go with Corley-Ann for short.
For a boy, we aren't sure yet. We already have a John Mills, after my dad and brother and DH's dad, grandpa and cousin who has passed. Maybe Benjamin Levi for this one; Levi, being another family name. Houston is also a family name which I could be ok with for a middle name if we found the right 1st name.
@Kelly, Quendellynn definitely sounds made up. Silly to me.
Sydney & Matt 9/11/10

I love Avery for a girl. I am having a hard time with boys names. I really wanted to name my daughter Kelsey, after my cousin. I am still really hurt by her sudden death though, so I don't think that I can call her that. I think I would like to go with Avery Kelsey. Doesn't sound great together...but who cares? I really like Grayson for a boy, but hubby has vetoed it.
I grow babies. What's YOUR super power??
RAWR! Means I love you in Alligator! If you are my 2-year-old.

Barrett Layne (Using his side of the family's name this time since we used Lee for our first child (Noah Lee), his mother's middle name is Layne.)
Stevie Elaine (Still trying to use the Layne but make it more girly, PLUS my DH's name is Steve and he wants his daughter to say "I'm named after my daddy" when asked.)
Married to my best friend Steve (4/25/09), precious son Noah (7/1/11), & Stevie Elayne due 6/8/13!

text: I am currently working on creating a custom theme but having an issue with my blog page. As you can see on the blog page I have a few test posts but they are not linking out to the single.php. I am wondering about what I need to do to make this happen so I can then style a specific single.php.
