Then with Troy, I think of last week when he looks like he's in coverage and then sneaks through the LOS to make a play in the backfield.
Then with Troy, I think of last week when he looks like he's in coverage and then sneaks through the LOS to make a play in the backfield.
Now if people are tying the team's fortunes to the way Ben performs then they need to hold him mostly accountable for when the team fails. But no, people will continue to blame everyone else under the sun because Ben is the franchise QB.
Ben played inconsistent football this season like he always did for all of his career. The huge difference from the past vs this season is that Ben always found ways to win games in the past. He wasn't able to lead this team down the field in 5 of the close games they loss. Ben has never been the type of QB that helps an offense produce a lot of points. Making plays at key times in games to help the team win was Ben's thing. If he can't win games in the end, the Steelers could be in for more rocky seasons.
Anyhow, that's what I thought all year that Lebeau was trying to get the defense up to speed without 3 of his 4 best play makers on the field at the same time. I think against Cincinnati we got a glimpse of what the defense can do when they are healthy and minus Ike. With Ike, we may not be lamenting a lost season, for some reason I believe he would have had AJ Green covered on that last play prior to the winning FG.

The referee said that you hit Brian Sipe too hard. Did you hit him too hard?

Consider the source of the article. Dutch Wydo aka moneymaker IIRC is the biggest Big Ben fan and apologist around. He isn't a Steeler fan as much as he is a Ben fan. He wrote the article, which I don't completely disagree with, to take heat off his guy. I will agree that Tomlin needs to tighten the ship, but I think it was Ben that accounted for alot of the most important turnovers that killed this season. This team will go as Ben goes, the way it is set up now.
Yea, it starts at the top, but you have to give the top a bigger body of work before you consider cutting off your head. He's been way too successful to entertain any thoughts of change. However, when I listened to his normal presser I too, at that moment, would have instantly fired him and promoted Haley. I've calmed down now and believe Tomlin is the right man. He just needs to re-dedicate and do whatever its going to take to bring us back from the dead.
Shawn, you're a good guy...
But posting stuff by Mr. Smartmonies himself does not increase your credibility with me...quite the opposite, in fact...
I read too much of his tripe at the old board to even attempt slogging though his latest hot mess...

Marble Cake
Marble Cake – Moist, buttery, and the BEST marble cake recipe ever. Get the recipe now | rasamalaysia.com
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total Time:
2 sticks (220g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
7 oz (200g) plain flour/all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
7 oz (200g) fine or powdered sugar (confectioners sugar or icing sugar)
4 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
4 tablespoons fresh milk
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Mix the flour and the baking powder together and sieve. Add in salt and mix well. Set aside.
Use an electronic beater to mix butter and sugar until well combined or pale yellow in color. Add in the first egg. Beat well after each addition of egg until creamy. Scrape down the sides and add in vanilla essence and fold in the flour into the mixture and mix well. Finally, add in the milk.
Divide the batter into two portions. Stir the cocoa powder into one portion and mix well. Transfer the plain batter into the greased baking pan. Shake it lightly to distribute evenly. Pour the cocoa batter in the middle of baking pan, and lightly swirl the cocoa batter with a butter knife. I usually do the "S" shape with the butter knife a couple of times. Do not overmix.
Bake until golden brown and cooked, about 40 minutes. Insert a cake tester in the middle of the cake to test doneness. Remove it from the oven and let cool on the wire rack for another 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and serve immediately.
Originally posted on Nov 1, 2009. Updated with new pictures and recipe. When I first published the post in 2009, I used the recipe from House of Annie. All the comments before Dec 28, 2013 were related to her recipe. You can click here to check out Annie's marble cake recipe.
This marble cake is adapted from my butter cake recipe, and yields the BEST marble cake I have ever tasted (in my opinion). If there is one marble cake recipe that you wish to try, this is it and is definitely a keeper. It's super moist, rich, buttery, and loaded with deep chocolate flavor. I just can't stop my oooh and ahhh for the delicious great taste. Don't believe it, just look at the pictures…I just had them and I wanted to grab a piece from my screen practically.
I baked my marble cake with mini loaf pans because I love my cake smaller pieces. The batter makes three (mini) loaves. You can use regular loaf pan to make it, or the standard cake pan. It's totally up to you.
If you love rich, buttery and sweet cakes that fill your house with the lingering aroma, this marble cake recipe is a sure-fire keeper. Try it out, you will thank me!

text: thankyou man!I can see where both of you guys are coming from, and agree. I can also understand where Knicksfan can say what he is saying. Yes, Ellis is a scorer on a bad team. Hopefully we all agree on that. On the other hand, IF Ellis were in a better system and good locker room leadership (ie, STAT since he's come to NY or Boston) Ellis could shake that label. Carmelo though is a much better all around player than Ellis. Rebounds at a higher rate, creates for others, AND scores the ball well. Like Rono said, Melo took a mediocre team to 50+ wins and the playoffs by himself. If Melo is a man of his word he waits it out till FAgency or forces Denver to deal him to NY at the deadline for pennies on the dollar so we can keep most of our lineup intact. If Melo is there and can be had at a reasonable price you go out and get him. For all we know the DLee deal over the summer may at one time have included Ellis but, I'm wagering a bet here that their GM valued him higher than his true value when you break down his game and stats and Donnie passed.

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all your support on previous posts. I currently am BF my 1 1/2 week old, we're doing MUCH better than when we got home, still some occasional latching issues but overall better! We feed great all day, every 2-3 hours, the issue is at night. She gets SO tired that we do one breast, but then she's in a total sleep and I cannot switch her to teh other side. I start with that side on the next feed, but is this ok? I've read all over here about making sure to do both....my other option is to wake her before she's done on the first side, but i want her to get the hindmilk as well and I've also read to let them finish ... help?!/

Let the Games Begin, Intrasquad Games
The Cubs don't want to wait until March 4th, and their first Spring Training game against the Athletics, so they are starting early. To finish off this week the Cubs will battle eachother in a set of intrasquad games. The games will take place on Friday and Saturday leading up to Sunday's spring training opener. The intrasquad games with be open to the public (grandstand seating only) and will be free of charge. After 12 days of drills, workouts, and bunt tournaments, I'm sure the players and coaches are just itching to get started, and see what they have in real game situations.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) voted (4-0) to adopt a new federal standard to make portable bed rails safer for children. A portable bed rail is used on the side of an adult bed to keep children, typically age 2 to 5 years old, from falling out of the bed.
The mandatory standard contains safety requirements for bed rails and addresses consumer assembly and installation problems that have resulted in child deaths. CPSC staff worked closely with the standards development organization ASTM International to update its consensus standard. CPSC's new mandatory standard incorporates ASTM's bed rail standard F2085-12.
The federal standard for portable bed rails includes the following requirements:
- Portable bed rails must not create a dangerous gap with the mattress into which a child can fall.
- They must be tested to make sure the bed rail hardware is permanently attached, and that the components cannot be assembled in an unsafe manner.
- Bed rails must have improved warnings on labels and instructions.
- Installation components, such as anchor or straps, must be permanently attached to the bed rail. These component parts also must have a warning label on them.
- Bed rails must not have hazardous sharp edges, points or small parts.
The improved warnings explicitly state that bed rails should never be used with children younger than two years old. They are intended for children age 2 to 5 who can get out of an adult bed without help. Gaps in and around bed rails have entrapped young children and killed infants.
The federal standard will go into effect six months after publication of the final rule in the Federal Register.
In addition to portable bed rails, the Commission has approved mandatory standards for other children's products, including cribs, bath seats, baby walkers and toddler beds, as required by Congress in Section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or teletypewriter at

Joanne Dickenson walks the trails at the Blackwater Draw archeological site on March 23. Dickenson lives on the 157-acre sit and works as its curator. (CNJ Staff Photo: Andy DeLisle)
By Marlena Hartz: CNJ staff writer
An early morning rain has made the earth soft.
On days like this, Joanne Dickenson strolls through her back yard, searching for treasures revealed by the rain.
She bends down and examines something, shifting her glasses from her neck to her nose. The bottoms of her white sneakers sink into the ground.
"This is just caliche," she determines, tossing the rock back to the ground. "Bones," she explains, "have pores."
One day, Dickenson hopes to find human remains here — not so strange a hope, since her back yard is one of the most famous sites in North American archaeology.
Dickenson is the curator of the Blackwater Draw Site near Portales. She lives with her husband and dog in a modest home on the 157-acre site, which is considered to contain some of the oldest evidence of humans in the Americas, with fossils dating back 11,500 years.
However, fervor over when and how long "Clovis Man" was at the site was renewed in February when Michael Waters of Texas A&M University and Thomas Stafford of Stafford Research Laboratories in Colorado published a study that implies the people who hunted at Blackwater Draw were not the first humans in the Americas.
The study said "Clovis Man" — identified by distinctive fluted spear points — were there about 500 years later than believed and stayed for a shorter period of time. Waters and Stafford dated bone, ivory and seeds from the site to draw those conclusions.
Disputes regarding Blackwater Draw are by no means new. None alters Dickenson's mission.
"My first priority is to protect this site," said the Eastern New Mexico University archaeologist, standing near a bed of mammoth bones excavated in the 1930s.
Fluted points used for hunting and other artifacts were also found at Blackwater Draw in the excavations.
Twice a week Dickenson dons soft-soled shoes and sweeps debris from the famous excavation site, now sheltered by a metal building.
"Mice," said Dickenson, whose eyes are almost neon blue, "try to reclaim their territory. I won't let them."
She protects the site from people, too. She calls the police when she spots vandals and nighttime trespassers, which happens rarely, she said.
Dickenson's second priority is teaching the public about the treasured site.
"The site comes first. People are a close second," said Dickenson, who has been the Blackwater Draw Site curator since 1994.
She knows the story of the site by heart, she said. She wants others to know it, too.
Gravel miners almost destroyed Blackwater Draw through the 1960s. They ground countless animal bones into tiny fragments with bulldozers and destroyed nearly 40 acres of the historic preserve, she said.
What was preserved she shows in tours: mammoth skulls, bison bones, a hand-dug water well.
"People cannot see such a feature (hand-dug well) anywhere in the new world," Dickenson wrote in an e-mail to the Clovis News Journal.
The last sentence of Waters' study, published in Science Magazine, reads: "The archaeological data now shows that Clovis does not represent the earliest inhabitants of the Americas and that a new model is needed to explain the peopling of the Americas."
This is where the work of Dickenson and Waters merge. She agrees that more can and should be learned about the peopling of the Americas.
She also believes the things unburied and buried at Blackwater Draw are a window to that past.
To arrange a special guided tour of the Blackwater Draw Site with curator Joanne Dickenson, call 356-5253.
The site will be open on weekends in April, May, September, and October.
The site is open daily from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

State health officials urge influenza shots
Flu season runs late October to May
Wisconsin health officials say the flu season is here and they're urging residents to get vaccinated for influenza.
Flu season for Wisconsin usually runs from late October to May. Peak activity is usually around early February.
State health officer Dr. Henry Anderson says getting vaccinated is the most effective way to avoid getting the flu.
Most health care providers already are offering flu vaccines. Anderson says this is a good time to get vaccinated before the flu season gets worse.
Influenza is a contagious respiratory disease caused by a virus.
Getting vaccinated is especially important for people ages 50 and older, and those with underlying health conditions.

Things just keep getting worse for Sony. Only one week after the first class action lawsuit was filed against Sony due to their massive security breach resulting in a PlayStation Network outage, a second one has been filed in Canada for the tiny amount of $1 billion. Toronto law firm McPhadden Samac Tuovi LLP is filing against Sony Japan, Sony USA, Sony Canada, and "other Sony entities", saying that due to breach of privacy Sony must pay their client for the "costs of credit monitoring services and fraud insurance coverage for two years".
Their client is a young lady named Natasha Maksimovic, a 21-year-old from Mississauga. Maksimovic said in a statement, "If you can't trust a huge multi-national corporation like Sony to protect your private information, who can you trust?" and went on to say, "It appears to me that Sony focuses more on protecting its games than its PlayStation users."
While the first lawsuit filed against Sony did not admit the amount in damages that the Rothken law firm expected from Sony, the $1 billion price tag this time around seems like stretching it a little, don't you think?

'Body, Built' at the Alliance
July 28, 2011 —
NARROWSBURG, NY — Photographs of bodybuilders by Brian Moss will be featured in the exhibition titled "Body.Built," opening with a reception on Friday, July 29 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Alliance Gallery at the Delaware Arts Center on Main Street. The exhibit will be on view through August 20, 2011.
Moss, himself a product of the bodybuilding scene, having founded the gym chain Better Bodies in New York in 1982, documents the journey from gym to hotel room to pump-up room to stage as the ultimate insider.
"My images are unguarded, honest, and voyeuristic," said Moss. "Whether they capture backstage scenes at a bodybuilding contest or training in the gym, these images are imbued with an intimacy that has never been seen before."

Mayor Anna Lopez Machacek, who placed the item on the agenda, said Ordinance 2004-451 was not in compliance with state statutes.
"We do have an ordinance in place right now that does not coincide with state law," Machacek said. "Therefore, my recommendation is that we repeal that ordinance. At a later date, we can come back and make it in a resolution form that would be keeping with the law."
"Could you tell me what Ordinance 2004-451 says?" councilwoman Liz Holsey asked Machacek.
"I don't have a copy of it with me," Machacek said.
Knight & Partners attorney Barbara Boulware-Wells, who was unanimously designated by council to work for the city earlier in the meeting, said the ordinance gave the city administrator duties that conflicted with the mayor's and city secretary's job duties.
"It's in your Code of Ordinances and the ordinance that establishes the position of the city administrator gives the city administrator a laundry list of duties and responsibilities," Boulware-Wells said. "Many of those conflict with the responsibilities and duties of the mayor that are held by statute to be reserved for the mayor, including preparation of the budget and including being the director and over many of the personnel. Those were some of the things of concern."
Boulware-Wells said council can decide if it wanted some of the duties be "recreated into a position of city administrator or do something different. … This would allow you a clean slate and let you figure out what you want to do with the position and then move forward, accordingly."
Thompson wanted to be clear that City Secretary Pam Long would not lose her job with the repeal of the ordinance.
"Pam is the city secretary and she has a statutory position," Boulware-Wells said.
Councilwoman Cheryl Worley made the motion to repeal the position and councilman Joey Thompson seconded the motion. Holsey, Thompson and Worley voted for the repeal. Two city council seats remain vacant after the recent resignations of Buddy Zavesky and Lionel Garcia.
The agenda item also called for consideration and possible action on the mayor and city secretary absorbing the city administrator's duties with compensation.
"I spoke with Pam about us, together, absorbing most of the duties that were on that job description, because they relate to us, anyhow," Machacek said. "Pam kind of mentioned to me that if she's going to absorb more duties, she would like some form of compensation."
Machacek asked Long if she wanted to inform the council how much compensation would seek.
"I think that depends on what those duties are going to be," Long said.
Machacek said another option would be to advertise the city administrator position and council would assign the new city administrator his/her duties. The position became available when Larry Zermeno resigned effective July 31.
"I know Pam can do the job. That's not a question," Holsey said. "But we have not been very good about advertising vacancies. People quit and the jobs are not advertised and then somebody has already taken that position. I think if we are going to start with a clean slate, we need to do it correctly."
"The city operated extremely well with a city secretary in charge up to 2004," Worley said. "I think Pam could a great job as city secretary."
Council voted to table the decision until its Sept. 2 meeting.
"When (Pam) and I spoke, it gives us time until now and the end of the budget year to figure out if we really want this job," Machacek said. "Once we divide all those duties out, is it something we really want to do."
"Let's get through this budget season," Long said.

Festooned in red, white, and blue bunting, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library was the setting for an enthusiastic crowd of 700 or more as they welcomed former MA Governor Mitt Romney on Tuesday, May 25, 2010. Besides addressing the large crowd, Romney's rousing Annual Reagan Lecture was also a live webcast.
It was quite a sight to see former First Lady Nancy Reagan enter the hall on the arm of Gov Romney. Another treat was when Mitt asked his wife, Ann Romney, to step to the podium to offer a few words. Questions and answers after Romney's speech underscored, among other things, the concerns Americans have for the direction America is currently going. Excitement for another possible presidential run by Romney was evident!
The event also included an earlier book signing for Romney's new best-selling book No Apology: The Case For American Greatness. Dinner was served after his speech.
UPDATE from Ross:
Here's an excerpt from a review of the speech by one of the attendees:
One of the first things that impressed me about Romney was his grasp of facts. He didn't use a Teleprompter, nor notes – just what was in his head. He spoke from the heart with a passion and love for America and the people who work so hard everyday just to make ends meet.

Water main break creates massive sinkholeJuly 18,2013
Staff Report
BARRE – Water service wasn't interrupted, but Third Street was closed to through traffic Wednesday night when a high-pressure water line blew out creating a massive sinkhole in the middle of the residential street.
City Engineer Reg Abare said it wasn't clear what caused the break that was reported at 8:30 p.m., but the problem was quickly isolated using "gate valves" located on either end of the short street that runs between North Main and Beckley streets.
With the break easily contained and no one believed to be without water, Abare said repairs were pushed off until Thursday morning to avoid incurring overtime expenses associated with night work.
According to Abare, the section of 8-inch cast iron pipe is several decades old and could have fractured due to a "water hammer" caused by a fire hydrant being opened and quickly closed. He said he hadn't had time to explore that theory.
Third Street remained closed to through traffic on Thursday while the high-pressure line was being repaired.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON The House on Thursday cleared bills to keep the government running through April and...

- Abstract
- The first energy conversion efficiencies of over 5% are reported for evaporated solid-phase crystallised (SPC) polycrystalline silicon thin-film solar cells. All cells have a size of 2 cm2 and are formed on planar glass superstrates. Back surface reflectance is provided by a simple coating with commercial white paint. The best cells have short-circuit current densities of about 19 mA/cm2 and external quantum efficiencies peaking at above 80%. The diffusion length in the base of the solar cells is larger than the base thickness, providing significant room for further efficiency improvements via an increased thickness of the base layer. Additional improvements are expected via the use of textured glass sheets, boosting the light trapping capabilities of the cells.

"This is the first time since I've been in office that this many people have come," Mayor George Hernandez said as he welcomed all present.
The council had a previous meeting in which proposals were made to up the permit fee per eight-liner from $500 to $5,000 and regulate the game room businesses' hours, having them close on Sunday.
Hernandez clarified the council's position in wanting to amend the ordinance, but he called the proposals "unreasonable" and "discriminatory."
He said the question was raised if the eight-liners were legal.
"The answer is yes from the Legislature," he said.
However, he added that, according to law, it is illegal to pay cash.
The mayor unabashedly said the city would take the cash for the permitting fee, but if the game rooms "mess up, that's your fault ... nobody forced you to break the law."
On the other hand, he said people will not go to court and testify that cash was used in the game rooms.
"Hearsay is one thing. Proving it is another," he said.
Hernandez said raising the permit fee to $5,000 was unreasonable. And he said setting the businesses hours to close on Sunday and limiting hours during the week was discriminatory.
"Are there any other businesses that operate under these (conditions)?" he asked rhetorically.
"I cannot see putting taxpayers through possible litigation," he added.
He said others have suggested an undercover operation to reveal what is really transpiring at the game rooms.
But he said such an operation would cost in the neighborhood of $50,000.
And he asked if you could find a district attorney willing to take a case.
He called the situation a law enforcement matter. And he added that it was not his place to dictate morals.
Hernandez said he would not fix his signature to the ordinance amendment if the council proceeded with the proposals.
"This is a means of revenue that the city ... collects. Understand, it's not all about money. It's a matter for police," he said.
To date, Woodsboro has $120,000 in revenue generated from the game rooms.
Overall, the council reconsidered the initial proposals following Hernandez's opinion and backed off such a large increase per eight-liner fee.
Councilmen Elix Ortiz, Debra Bolcik and Minerva Cisneros, voted to raise the permit fee from $500 to $1,000.
Mayor Pro Tem Larry Jochetz and Councilman Jimmy Blaschke voted to keep the initial proposal to increase the permit fee to $5,000.
The lower increase passed on the 3-2 vote.
And the council backed off having the establishments close on Sunday.
Instead, a proposal to set the game room hours at 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. seven days a week was approved in a unanimous vote.
The penalty for breaking the ordinance will be a Class C misdemeanor and fine of $500.
Hernandez said the amendments to the ordinance will take three readings for final approval.
The council also approved moving $16,642.75 from the amusement machine revenue to make up the difference for the city's new mixer at the sewer plant.
Also, the council approved recommendations to bring structures up to standard by Code Inspector Mike Henry.
The properties are the following: 906 Pugh St., 514 Danforth St., 301 Davis St., 711 Celia St. and 400 N. Arno St.
The council also approved a request from a resident for water hookup at 112 Churchill Road in the amount of $1,377.
The council also approved the purchase of sand from GP Transport in the amount of $3,300. The sand will be used to replace sand in the city's drying beds.
Also, Woodsboro Chief of Police Joe Roberts gave a report, saying an investigation was being conducted on an intoxicated driver who damaged the gazebo at the town square.
Roberts said the driver had come from a local bar and was facing charges as well as the cost of the gazebo repairs from the damages.

Brazile came out strong in the team roping event, laying his rope over both horns and making a successful dally. However, his longtime partner, Patrick Smith, missed the feet giving them a no score.
Brazile also went home empty-handed in the tie-down event, missing his calf and receiving a no-time in his best event.
"There is a lot of talent out here and in this sport there is no cheating sometimes," Brazile said. "It's your day and sometimes it's not. We all work hard to earn a living and we love what we do."
When Brazile was asked what he like about coming to the Goliad Rodeo, he said, "I really can't put my finger on it, but I really love the venue, the arena has a good ol' smalltown Texas rodeo feel to it. The fans always come out and they are great."
Brazile had some advice for all the youngsters hoping to sometime wear a world championship belt buckle.
"You gotta love it to do it and work harder than anyone else because there is a lot of talent out here," he said.
Brazile may have left Goliad without a check, but his wife, Shada, took home some earnings tieing for fourth in the barrel racing event. After leaving Goliad, the Brazile family traveled back to Houston for the finals at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo.
The Friday and Saturday night performances as well as Sunday's performance were action-packed, bringing out over 4,300 fans throughout the three days.
"It was a successful weekend, the weather was beautiful, the fans were awesome, the contestants gave a good show and there were no major injuries to contestants or livestock," said Lisa Lutz, who has organized the event with her husband, Tee, for over a decade.

Omen502 posted:8/18/2011 9:38:18 PM http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/antigravityworldgrid/ciencia_antigravityworldgrid08.htm Acoustic Levitation, Could this be a sacred knowledge used in the construction of many ancient monolithic structures around the globe and how did they learn to manifest such? When we were all young and in our first memorable years entering the school system we had history class. Our history teacher said " The egyptians built huge structures actually the biggest known structures ever built by man." We said "Wow, How did they do that?" Teacher says "Sorry, It's a mystery." and closes a book. Well It didn't actually happen like that but, I'm sure we all feel sort of the same way. For what purpose were they kept secret? Ok. A step back. I mean if we understood what we were truly are capable of and especially as a huge civilization uniformly working together to manifest a congomeration of consciousness and also having the ability to understand and harness the power to manipulate fundamental and natural laws of physics to preform such tasks with such precision. What would we be capable of? If we understood there mysterious magics and wonders then surely we would be able to have the perception, awareness, knowledge, and intuition to say "Hey, wait a minute, You had that coin in your hand before you pulled it out from behind my ear!" I also feel there would be tons of money lost due to the innefficiency of our most used technology today. Well maybe because people could see a better and cheaper way to do things really.Today we have no chance. We have mulit-billion dollar corporations controlling every aspect of our lives. It's like "Hey, I got an idea!" POW!! Your dead! Well that being said Next Question: How did this knowledge come to be? Well off the top of my head I come up with 3 quick scenerios. 1. Generations of learning and building, building and learning. 2. Ancient Astronauts such as the Annunaki. 3. A supernatural transcendant being such as god or satan. Of course I don't know the answer. I tend to sway more towards 3 because more of the puzzle pieces fit for me. But this is why I am asking you. It is so hard to hunt for food , when we are all shooting in the dark. I dont know if this post will show up but this is video evidence of acoustic levitation being possible.http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=94KzmB2bI7smonica1968 posted:8/19/2011 7:33:47 AM Well the very first book...the one that started my quest for the truth was called Secrets of the lost sacred arc....Lawrence gardiner....It is the only one i did read of his but although i do not ascibe to much of his thought processes he did come up with a few gems......MONOATOMIC GOLD being one of them.....this powder is the residue after spinning gold so fast it seperated into its the basic elements....this powder when heated and placed on items such as 100 ton stones it makes them lighter than air....and when cooled the stone retuns to its noraml state....henceforth makes it easier to work and place where you like.....so humans indeed could have built them....but someone had to show these human what to do in the first place...but would also explain in the sumerian cuniform about human being created to mine for gold...being that we were created to get the stuff for our creator....just as an afterthought wasnt there a nursery story called Rapunzel who enslaved a girl who could spin gold....?Omen502 posted:8/19/2011 7:41:18 AM Yes I have looked into mono-atomic gold and heard same things.

Yes monica I am glad I got to meet you you bring light to my life and as well you spiritech which i have not. We must all take these experiences and knowledge and connect them with what is history, physical, mental, and fiction. It is a very diverse subject which leads me to points of insanity trying to solve. I believe there are more possibilities that await my mind and I need to be in tune to recieve these mental pictures. Just as a experiment, hell if even for fun lets all try to connect and i mean in a mental sense. With our dreams and conciousness. Lets look more into exercises for memory and brain power. Into a way to focus the energy we are able to harness. I truly believe 100% in my heart and soul that we can all come together as one unity within conciousness and purity we can achieve wonders.

Gold is only one element - you can't separate it into anything else, except subatomic particles. The only thing that you could possibly do is to put it into a disorganized state, since most metals naturally form a crystalline structure when purified. But the thought of putting it onto something to make it light is not tenable to me, and I already believe in magic.Omen502 posted:8/22/2011 12:15:05 AM Ok, What I have heard along the lines of this, and I cannot prove but, is that you seperate the gold and silver into sub-atomic particles and ingest or breathe. There are new reports saying that silver is killing every virus known to man. That is already getting me interested. Also what makes sense to me is that I went to colledge for electronics theory and application for 3 1/2 years and I have learned that silver and gold, even though just another element, are what we call superconductors. Silver being the negative and gold being the positive. Let me elaborate. When you have a closed circuit and electricity is flowing you need to have the path of electricity, the power from which electricity is generated, and the load being the draw of power. When you have all these your electricity flows making your light bulb (the load) light up. now the reason its lighting because of the resistance that the load (made of a filament) naturally opposes the current and the heat produced in doing so. When this happens the resistance gives off heat as a byproduct lighting the bulb. OK to get to my point. Your brain and nervous system work on electricity. It transmits electrical impulses and the nerves and synapses are the paths and switches, knowing that the state of electrolytic conductivity helps the flow of current. This is why I believe that certain foods really are brain foods. If you seperate the gold into subatomic particles and ingest it should (in theory) be able to reach everypart of your body via the blood stream and being that it is a superconductor should let current pass easier, thus causing less resistance and heat. Everyone knows heat makes things decay. We could possibly even lengthen (again in theory) our life span. I don't know what everyone else thinks but I am interested in this and hope that we can eventually figure this out. Thanks for the reply sorgfelt. spiritech0 posted:8/22/2011 11:31:57 PM So much for Goldschlager's fifty pence worth of magic elixir.... So..! Cold fusion instead of hot fission?

Aaron Rodgers trudged out of the visitors' locker room at MetLife Stadium with his knit winter hat pulled low, his customary post-game PB&J sandwich in his right hand and his upper lip, mustachioed as it has been all month, stiff. He didn't say a word, but he didn't have to. The look on his face said plenty.
The only thing the Green Bay Packers quarterback hates more than losing is not having a chance to do something about it, and that was the case again Sunday. You didn't have to be a mindreader to have a pretty good idea what he must've been thinking as he stood on the sideline watching his team's 27-13 loss to the New York Giants unfold.
I need to get back out there.
That's what has to be going through his mind. Right?
There are a handful of players who know Rodgers well. Jordy Nelson. A.J. Hawk. Matt Flynn. John Kuhn. Clay Matthews.
"I don't know him," Matthews said as he followed Rodgers out of the locker room. "He's like Batman."
But Matthews knows this much: Rodgers will spend his week trying to convince the Packers' medical staff that he's healthy enough to play next Sunday against Minnesota, that his broken left collarbone has sufficiently healed so he can play, perhaps with additional makeshift protection beneath his shoulder pad.
He may not win that argument, but he will make his case. The way Matthews, who missed four games with a broken thumb, figures it, Rodgers believes the Packers' season depends on it – no disrespect to backup Scott Tolzien or his teammates.
"Listen: You know Aaron. You know how competitive he is. He's like a linebacker playing quarterback. That's just his competitive nature," Matthews said as stadium workers bustled past him in the hallway outside the locker room. "It's like me sitting out with a broken thumb. Just because I can't play, it doesn't make it any easier sitting on the sideline. I came back last week, and you saw that stump on my hand. It's no different (in his mind).
"But we need to be a little smarter with him. Not just because of his title as a franchise quarterback, but the fact that it's a tricky injury. I mean, you get hit once and go down once awkwardly and the season's over.
"I can't speak for him. But I've seen him in there (in the training room) doing everything he can to get back. And it's tricky, because I've had these battles with the medical staff, too. You know your own body. And I'm pushing this with my thumb. I mean, I should still be in a club today. So I'm pushing it. It's a battle. I have countless talks with these doctors, which I hate. It's how I feel versus how they perceive that I feel. That's how it is.
"The doctors, they need to protect the investments of the team and the players and what's in their best interest, but as competitors, as athletes, we want to do everything we can to get on the field. But we have to be smart. I was 99 percent sure I wasn't going to reinjure my thumb last week. But that possibility was there. He probably thinks the same thing. But there's no cast you can put on your shoulder.
"I don't know. I hope we get him back as soon as possible. Let's just put it that way."
Nelson and Rodgers carpool to the airport for every road game. Their conversations down U.S. 41 seldom circle back to football, but Nelson, who missed four games last season with a hamstring injury, have had the talk before. They know that team physician Dr. Pat McKenzie genuinely cares about his players, and often that means saying "No" when they think they're ready to go.
So Nelson, who left the locker room a few steps behind Matthews, knows Rodgers will try, too.
"You want the MVP on the field. No matter what. And he told me after the game he got hurt that he was going to be back the following week. And I said, 'Yeah, how many drugs are you on?'" Nelson said. "You do not want to be on the sideline – at all. (But) these are games that are very winnable, to be honest with you, with Scott or Aaron. Obviously there's no doubt about Aaron. (But) Scott's playing good football, especially given the situation he's been put in.
"To me, that's the most frustrating thing. These games have been winnable with the backup quarterbacks – and we haven't done it. We haven't done it. You can find something in all three phases of the game that affected us throughout the game and put us in tough situations.
"Dr. McKenzie is probably the most conservative doctor there is. So they're going to be smart. There's more to his career than this season. We need to get some wins to take some of the pressure off that. But I know whenever he thinks he can play, he's going to play. And that'll be up to him and the doctors to figure out when that is and what's the correct thing to do."
Perhaps the Packers (5-5) can beat the Minnesota Vikings (2-8) at Lambeau Field next Sunday without Rodgers. After all, they beat them in Minneapolis less than a month ago, 44-31, in a game that wasn't that close.
"I think Scott can lead this team to get a victory. We've lost three in a row (but) it's not all on Scott by any means," said wide receiver James Jones, another of Rodgers' friends. "This is a team game. Everybody wants to look at the quarterback first. A lot of things go into it, though. Scott just needs to keep on doing what he's doing and we'll be OK."
When Rodgers went out at the end of the Packers' first offensive series against Chicago on Nov. 4, the Packers had won four in a row and were looking like a legitimate Super Bowl XLVIII contender, despite the injuries they'd incurred and the flaws that they obviously had. Their running game was producing, their defense was doing enough to get the job done and Rodgers was orchestrating an offense that had lost its starting left tackle in training camp, its top wide receiver to a broken leg in Baltimore and its tight end to a career-threatening spinal cord injury against Cleveland.
Three losses later, the Packers are a .500 team and are on their longest losing streak since a five-game schneid in 2008, Rodgers' first year as a starter. Since then and before this, the Packers had lost back-to-back games only three times: Once in 2009 and twice in 2010, the second of which came after Rodgers suffered a concussion at Detroit on Dec. 12, 2010. They lost that game and the next, at New England, despite a valiant effort by backup Matt Flynn.
On Sunday, Rodgers' replacement, Scott Tolzien, again did what he could. He completed 24 of 34 passes for 339 yards. He had completions of 25, 45, 26, 25, 19, 18 and 52 yards against a defense that was hell-bent on stopping the run (Eddie Lacy and James Starks combined for 26 yards on 16 carries) and daring the Packers to pass with eight, even nine men in the box.
"We knew it was going to be tough going into it. They were going to have a lot of people in the box. But we tried the best we could," said Lacy, who ran for 150 yards against the Bears but managed only 73 yards on 24 carries against the Eagles and only 27 yards on 14 carries on Sunday.
"Overall, (Tolzien) had a good day. Everybody makes mistakes."

Everyone singles out the playoff run unfairly. Jr contributed greatly with his rebounding & assists during the regular season and played very well overall. Of course he had some poor shooting nights, as a starter he will be much better. He will thrive and be much more effective in a reduced role.
As our 3rd option on offense I look forward to him proving all of our haters so very wrong.

The stereotypical view of Amsterdam of canals, bicycles, tulips, and a somewhat lenient lifestyle doesn't do it justice. Beyond this you will find a city brimming with culture, luxury and a modern, cutting-edge style emerging from its tacky image of yesteryear.
The changing face of the Red Light District has opened up new possibilities in the centre. Hip cafes and gourmet restaurants are booming, diversifying the area for both locals and tourists alike. Luxury boutique hotels and shops are becoming prevalent across the whole city, like the contemporary galleries in Jordaan, alongside the style-conscious artists and designers who live there. Explore the many green spaces like the Vondelpark, or find some culture at the superb world-class museums, before heading over to trendy Amsterdam Noord for a bite to eat. Whilst it may have shaken off its seedier side, it doesn't mean you can't find a great bar or two to while away your evening. Why not book a flight to Amsterdam to see it for yourself?
Set in the heart of the historic city centre, adjacent to Amsterdam Centraal Station, this modern hotel offers stunning city views and complimentary WiFi access. It provides easy access to attractions ...

De Wallen, or the Red Light District as it's known all over the world, is one of the oldest parts of the city. Home to Amsterdam's sex industry, it has been in use since the 13th century, but in recent years has been cleaning up its act. Alongside the sex shops you will now find hip cafes and restaurants, barbers and even a radio station. De Wallen is quick becoming a favourite of the locals of Amsterdam, claiming it back from its seedy past.
Experience quintessential old Amsterdam around the horseshoe of canals that encircle the city centre. Take in the beautiful 17th century houses lining this picturesque network of water ways. Don't miss the iconic Bloemenmarkt, where flower vendors tout their colourful blooms from floating stalls on the historic Singel canal. Wander around the fashionable hub that is the 9 Streets, with its host of vintage fashion boutiques and art galleries. Or observe the bustle on attractive Rembrandtplein square from a cosy café.
Amsterdam is synonymous with art and within its aptly-named Museumplein (museum square) are some of the finest houses of artistic treasures in the world.

September 20, 2012 —
The lower sun angles and the cooler temperatures of September trigger some changes in nature; for some birds, this is the cue to start heading for warmer climes. Hummingbirds exit the region this month, as well as many other bird species. This is the start time for some raptor species as well. In the right locations, this is a good opportunity to see high numbers and a variety of raptors.
One of the highlights of the fall raptor migration is when broad-winged hawks move south. Where hawks are usually solitary during the summer, broad-winged hawks frequently move en masse during the fall migration; they form "kettles" numbering in the hundreds and then stream southward as they seek the next thermal. Broad-winged hawks are moving now; during the peak, thousands of hawks can be spotted during the day at some favorite locations.
Other raptors are moving as well. Many osprey start their trip in September, and a few American kestrel and sharp-shinned hawks are moving now. Next month will see many more sharp-shinned hawks as well as peregrine falcons, harriers, and merlins. Bald and golden eagles can be seen migrating as well in October.
Sunrise Mountain in Stokes State Forest in New Jersey is just one of many good fall hawk migration observation locations. For good locations and the latest count data, visit hawkcount.org/.

Tag team: Sanders, Rolling Stone take on Wall Street
Provided Photo Matt Taibbi
When Sen. Bernard Sanders holds a town hall meeting today in Burlington to take on the countrys too big to fail, too big to jail banks, hell be joined in his quest by Rolling Stone investigative reporter Matt Taibbi.
Taibbi, 42, who has written extensively about the role Wall Street banks played in the financial collapse of 2008 and the continuing abuses, will lend his support to Sanders call to break up the mega-banks.
That call came in the form of a Sanders bill that was introduced this week to dismantle the nations largest financial institutions.
In a telephone interview last week, Taibbi said the legislation is overdue and is the only way to stop the global banking behemoths from running amok and causing another financial calamity.
Worse, Taibbi said no one has been held criminally responsible with the Obama administration and its chief law enforcement officer, Attorney General Eric Holder, effectively giving the bankers a dont worry about going to jail card.
Nobody is actually responsible for anything thats gone wrong, has really had to pay personally, said Taibbi, who will join Sanders, an independent from Vermont who sits on the Senate Budget Committee, on Friday for a 7 p.m. town hall meeting at the Unitarian Church on Pearl Street. Prior to that, the pair will make a 3 p.m., public appearance at the University of Vermont.
Taibbi said even the fines that have been levied havent come out of the pockets of bank executives. He said the one exception that comes to mind was Angelo Mozilo, the former head of subprime mortgage lender Countrywide Financial, who paid a record fine.
Too big to jail
He said Holders comments giving bank executives a pass on criminal prosecutions, while shocking in its candor, was nothing more than what the Obama administration had been doing all along.
Whats crazy about that is that theyre saying it out loud, Taibbi said. They clearly decided not to go forward with lots of prosecutions they could have gone forward with in the last five years and everybody kind of knew thats the reason they didnt do it, but the fact that theyre not afraid to come out and say it now I think is a significant development.
Holders comments reflected the Obama administrations fear that pursuing criminal charges could very well have severe repercussions for the U.S. and global economies.
I am concerned that the size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them when we are hit with indications that if you do prosecute, if you do bring a criminal charge, it will have a negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world economy, Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee in March. And I think that is a function of the fact that some of these institutions have become too large.
Taibbi said the comments only reinforce the message that the bankers have nothing to fear.
If you know ahead of time youre not going to be prosecuted, its a reverse deterrent, he said. Its an encouragement to crime.
Slap on the wrist
He said the two biggest fines levied so far this year against UBS and HSBC send a clear message to Wall Street that you can pretty much get away with anything and youre not going to go to jail for it.
In December, HSBC agreed to pay a record $1.92 billion fine to settle money laundering accusations, including allegations it laundered money for Mexican drug cartels.
They could have taken HSBC officials and lined them up and thrown them all in jail for a long time, he said.
Taibbi said thats exactly what federal prosecutors would have done not too many years ago before the too big to fail, too big to jail mentality took hold.
He said Sanders bill may pressure the administration to explain why officials are comfortable not prosecuting bankers engaged in white collar criminal activity.
Taibbi traces the creation of the too-big-to-fail banks to the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, which barred commercial banks from engaging in investment banking activities. In its place, Congress in 1999 passed Gramm-Leach-Bliley, which opened the floodgates, giving banks the green light to become financial supermarkets, offering brokerage, insurance and other services.
The argument from backers of Gramm-Leach-Bliley was that this was going to be the way that we competed internationally, Taibbi said.
What happened before, and in the months following the 2008 financial crisis, is that several large banks were forced to merge, concentrating even more economic power in the hands of fewer banks, he said.
I think what Bernies reacting to, and a lot of other senators are reacting to, is the realization that its a tremendously dangerous spot for all of us to be in, he said.
For Vermonts community banks, Taibbi said the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of just a handful of banks harms the banks that support local communities.
Community banks are put at an inherent economic disadvantage by this system because when you have all these big companies that have an implicit government backing, the market lends money to them at lower rates then they will to a smaller bank, he said.
The call to break up the countrys largest banks isnt confined to members of Congress or a growing segment of the public. The Dallas Federal Reserve has also advocated for downsizing banks.
Not so fast
The American Bankers Association has a different perspective, arguing that breaking up the mega-banks is not the way to go and would be counterproductive.
In an op-ed that appeared last week in Investors Business Daily, ABA President and CEO Frank Keating said that only five of the biggest 50 banks in the world are U.S. banks. He said reducing their size would limit their ability to serve the countrys largest corporations.
As crucial as small and regional banks are to their communities, they are in no position to finance the needs of a Chevron, Ford Motor or American Airlines, Keating wrote. European or Asian banks would quickly move to fill the banking needs of our corporations as they already compete mightily for this business.
He also warned that financing deals would shift more heavily to the still less regulated shadow banking system that was ground zero for the 2008 financial meltdown.
But according to Sanders, since the 2008 financial crisis, and the $700 billion taxpayer bailout, the countrys 10 largest banks have grown even bigger. On top of that, he points out that the Federal Reserve ponied up another $16 trillion to prop up financial institutions.
The Big Six
Sanders list of the six largest banks includes, J.P. Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. Together the banks have nearly $9.6 trillion in assets. Thats the equivalent, Sanders said, of roughly two-thirds of the U.S. gross domestic product. Together, the banks issue more than two-thirds of all credit cards, more than half of all mortgages, 40 percent of bank deposits and control 95 percent of derivatives held in financial institutions.
Sanders bill gives the Department of the Treasury 90 days to come up with a too big to fail list of commercial banks, investment banks, hedge funds and insurance companies. The bill defines too big to fail as any entity that has grown so large that its failure would have a catastrophic effect on the stability of either the financial system or the United States economy without substantial government assistance.
Within one year after the bill became law, the Treasury Department would be required to break up the too-big-to-fail banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions.
If an institution is too big to fail, it is too big to exist, Sanders said in a statement announcing the legislation.
Taibbi said there is growing support in Congress, and especially in the Senate, where there is a core group of senators, including Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who are already openly kind of waving the banner of we have to do something about too big to fail.

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Color Wheel …
"I had one when I was a little boy, 5 years old. I remember it well. We had the light hanging from the ceiling shining down on the tree. I remember how pretty it looked. I also remember on one of the colors the tree looked see-through, but I don't remember which one it was. To make a long story short, my mom and dad went through a divorce, and Mom stored all of our stuff at my grandparents' and they had a fire. Unfortunately we lost everything. I saw a silver tree at Home Depot last year and knew I had to have one. I didn't think they were being made anymore since I haven't seen one in 35 years." - Sonny Zehm, Guerneville, CA
"As a teen in the 60's our Christmas tree was Aluminum Pom Pom Dancing With Color Because of a Color Wheel like this one. At Age 54, I am recapturing those days in purchasing this color wheel to brightly light my own tree in 2008! Vermont Country Store has a price that surpasses any I have found. They have great prices and FUN-damental things! Thank you, VCS." - Laraine Brister, Jayess, MS
"Absolutely love this Color Wheel. We have two trees and one is white with the color wheel rotating under it. My grandkids love it and so do we. Brings back great memories. Love your store and have shared it with many of my friends. God Bless and Merry Christmas." - Janice Finn, Anniston, AL
"Works wonderfully, is quiet (unlike my vintage color wheel). Shipped super-fast and just as advertised! Thanks, VCS!" - Scott Mann, Murfreesboro, TN
"I, too, am a child of the '50s in my 50s. I remember when the color wheel was "high tech"! We had it shining on a white Christmas tree! I love The Vermont Country Store. You help to re-create my memories of days past!" - Jan V., Fresh Meadows, NY
"I have been looking for a color wheel for an aluminum tree from the 60s. I have looked everywhere on the internet, and this is the best price that i have found." - Rick, Bluefield, WV
"I bought two of these for my vintage 1959 aluminum tree. What a fantastic color wheel. The colors are vibrant, and put off a groovy glow on the tree. They even have a nice on/off switch located on the cord. I would highly recommend this to anyone searching for a color wheel." - Stephen Marcus, Granada Hills, CA
"Growing up in rural Ohio, this was my favorite tree with the color wheel. We had red velvet Christmas balls on a silver tree. At 5 years old, I thought it was the most beautiful tree ever!" - Terri Kotula, Bryan, OH
"When I was a preteen, my dad brought home a silver tree with the wheel. We loved it, but I don't think my mom liked it very much. Every year, mom would put the same color balls on the tree. One year would be blue, the next year red, etc. Our favorite moment was turning out all the lights, except for the color wheel. we would have popcorn and sodas while we watched my all-time favorite movie, "White Christmas." Thank you, VCS, for bringing back the memories." - brenda metz, sacramento, CA
