What is Scrying?
Scrying is the ancient act of divination for the purpose of clairvoyance. It is usually achieved by concentrating on or staring (gazing) at an object having a shiny surface until a vision appears. Scrying is one of the earliest forms of Divination in recorded history, appearing in China in 3000 BC, Egypt in 2500 BC, and Ancient Greece around 2000BC.
Scrying comes from the English word "descry" which means "to make out dimly" or "to reveal." There have been and are many purposes for the activity; to see into the future, to find lost objects or persons, and track criminals, among others.
Although the object used for scrying usually has a shiny surface, such as a pool of water, innumerable objects have been used for the practice over the centuries. Mirrors are often used. Nostradamus is said to have used a black obsidian mirror. Many such means have been employed to see visions, read mystical signs and divine the future.
Most scrying is done at night in order to receive better psychic vibrations. As a general rule most scryers work at night in order to avoid the excessive psychic vibrations that are generated in the day due to the confusion of everyday living.
The methods of scrying differ but after a period of concentration on the speculum visions, mental images, or impressions appear. Frequently the visions are symbolic and the scryer must meditate on their visions to interpret their meanings.

Socket.SetIPProtectionLevel Method
Set the IP protection level on a socket.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
The level parameter cannot be IPProtectionLevel.Unspecified. The IP protection level cannot be set to unspecified.
The AddressFamily of the socket must be either InterNetworkV6 or InterNetwork.
The SetIPProtectionLevel method enables restricting an a IPv6 or IP socket to listen on a specified scope, such as addresses with the same link local or site local prefix. This socket option enables applications to place access restrictions on IPv6 or IP sockets. Such restrictions enable an application running on a private LAN to simply and robustly harden itself against external attacks. This socket option can also be used to remove access restrictions if the level parameter is set to Unrestricted. This socket option widens or narrows the scope of a listening socket, enabling unrestricted access from public and private users when appropriate, or restricting access only to the same site, as required.
This socket option has defined protection levels specified in the IPProtectionLevel enumeration.
The SetIPProtectionLevel method is used to enable or disable Network Address Traversal (NAT) for a Socket instance. NAT traversal may be provided using Teredo, 6to4, or an ISATAP tunnel.
When the level parameter is set to EdgeRestricted, or Restricted, this explicitly disables NAT traversal for a Socket instance.
When the level parameter is set to EdgeRestricted, this may allow NAT traversal for a Socket depending on firewall rules in place on the system.
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2

Dear friends,
With great pleasure, I welcome you to the website of the Subcommittee on Asian and Pacific Island Affairs. We are continuing to build this website so that it can be a resource to learn more about the beauty and richness of the Asian and Pacific Islander communities.
The number of Asian and Pacific Island communities connected with the Secretariat of Cultural Diversity in the Church has grown exponentially from nine in 1999 to twenty-five in 2011. Among the Asian communities are the Bangali, Burmese, Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino, Hmong, Indian (Roman), Indian (Syro-Malabar), Indian (Syro-Malankara), Indonesian, Japanese, Kmhmu, Korean, Laotian, Montagnard, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Thai, and Vietnamese peoples. The Pacific Island communities include the Chamorro, Hawaiian, Fijian, Samoan, Tongan, and Micronesian peoples.
This year, 2011, marks a momentous occasion because we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the bishops pastoral statement, Asian and Pacific Presence: Harmony in Faith. The bishops on the Subcommittee on Asian and Pacific Island Affairs set four goals to mark the anniversary:
To assess the state of Asian and Pacific ministry in the various dioceses in the country through a survey.
To increase the capacity for ministry to Asians and Pacific Islanders in the local churches through the development of a leadership formation program and guide for those ministering to these communities.
To educate the Church in the United States about Asian and Pacific people, especially their Catholic practices, by developing online educational materials for diocesan and parish leaders.
To strengthen communion, unity, and ethnic identity among Asian and Pacific Islanders and to establish relationships with other cultural and racial groups (particularly with the bishops and local churches of those other cultural and racial groups) through community gatherings and celebrations.
An Advisory Group was created to assist the Subcommittee and Secretariat in planning the observance of the 10th anniversary. The celebratory activities chosen by the Subcommittee, especially the development of educational materials, leadership, and cultural competency, contribute to the fulfillment of several USCCB priorities and suggested activities such as faith formation, vocation, and recognition of cultural diversity.
The Subcommittee on Asian and Pacific Island Affairs invites you to join us in our various activities as we celebrate this anniversary. Please continue to visit this website in the coming months in order to access the exciting new materials that we will be adding throughout the year. Join inspiring diocesan celebrations which will highlight the gifts of Asian and Pacific Catholics and other cultural and racial communities. Some of these diocesan events include the Asian Unity Day of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, the Asian and Pacific Youth Day of the Diocese of San Bernardino, the Celebration of Cultures of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Chautauqua of the Diocese of Oakland, and Migration Sunday of the Diocese of Brooklyn.
We especially invite you to be part of the Asian and Pacific Day to be held on May 21, 2011 in Washington D.C. at the Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Come and be introduced to the complexity of Asian and Pacific American Catholic identity in the morning. Then, in the afternoon, pray with eighteen Asian and Pacific communities in various languages and forms of prayer during the colorful and unique pilgrimage in honor of our Blessed Mother.
Thank you for your interest in the Asian and Pacific Island communities within the Catholic Church in the United States. We hope to see you at our celebrations!
With our prayers and best wishes in 2011,

Ryerson Works: services that put people first
Administration & Finance Management Group
Ryerson Works: services that put people first
Administration & Finance Management Group
The Administration & Finance Management Group (AFMG) consists of nine non-academic units that work in partnership with colleagues across the university. The group focuses on people, infrastructure and finance ensuring that students, faculty and staff can call Ryerson a vibrant place to learn and work.
The AFMG operates 24 hours a day. Their activities range from complex undertakings such as building the new Student Learning Centre, providing healthy, delicious and sustainable food in the cafeterias and student residences and managing the finances of the university, to everyday operations that include ensuring WIFI is up to speed, classrooms are turned over for the next group of students and the campus feels safe and welcoming.
The objective of the AFMG is to help every Ryersonian feel valued and empowered to do their work - whether it is to excel as a student, shine as top-notch researcher or win accolades as a staff member.
Whether celebrating diversity, supporting employees throughout their careers or ensuring a safe campus for all, putting people first is at the centre of everything AFMG does.
The teams strive to ensure everyone has access to modern, efficient and reliable facilities and communication systems for learning, teaching, scholarly research and creative work.
Handling the finances of the university, paying suppliers, independently appraising processes, running the campus store and parking services – some of the many ways AFMG supports the Ryerson community.
The Women in Leadership Forum brings together senior female faculty members and administrators at Ryerson for learning, networking and mutual support.
The meetings feature guest speakers whose career journey includes challenges and lessons to which senior women leaders at Ryerson can relate to. In addition, there is always time allotted at each event for attendees to get to know each other and discuss shared issues in a friendly, casual environment.
This short video will give you an idea of what the Women in Leadership Forum is all about.
Recognizing that Ryerson is also filled with women who are eager to build their own leadership capacity, some of the events are earmarked for emerging women leaders from within the university. Such events focus on specific aspirations and issues related to emerging leaders and are also excellent opportunities for getting to know and network with Ryerson's senior women leaders.

Routing Number: 222381918 (also referred to as the ABA number)
Provide your account number.
Designate whether you would like the funds placed in your savings or checking.
- Return the form to your payroll representative.
- Please let us know if you have any questions. You may call us at 585-624-7474 or 800-836-8010 or send us an email. If your payroll representative has any technical concerns, advise them to call us.
On the other hand, if you are tired of rushing to get your bills in the mail on time, you should be aware that we accept automatic withdrawal requests from any company that uses the ACH system. Providing you have sufficient funds, your bills will be paid on time, every time.
For your convenience we offer ACH withdrawals (direct debit) of mortgage payments from other banks (money from X-Bank to Pittsford FCU mortgage payment)
Utility Payments Made EasyMany local merchants offer the ultimate in convenience for bill payment. ACH Direct Debit is a method that authorizes a vendor, such as Rochester Gas and Electric to automatically debit your account each month, on the date your payment is due.
This method is superior to our Bill Pay service for the following reasons - 1) You don't have to schedule the payment 2) You don't have to remember the amount 3) It is processed at the very last moment possible for on-time payment.

New report commissioned by Ontario Arts Council shows the significant impact of arts and culture on Ontario tourism
Toronto, January 22, 2013 – The economic impact of arts and culture tourism in Ontario is considerable according to a new analysis released today by the Ontario Arts Council (OAC). Ontario Arts and Culture Tourism Profile, the report prepared for OAC by Research Resolutions & Consulting Ltd . provides a comprehensive profile of Ontario's arts and culture tourists.
The report includes information on the number, characteristics and impact of Ontario's arts and culture tourists including, volume, country of origin, activities, trip characteristics, tourist spending, economic impact, market share, motivations, and demographic characteristics.
The report is based on an analysis of several existing travel industry surveys: Travel Survey of Residents of Canada 2010 (TSRC); International Travel Survey 2010 (ITS US & OVS), and Travel Activities and Motivations Surveys (TAMS Canada & US, 2006).
Read the Executive Summary and Full report.
"This report demonstrates the important role that arts and culture play in Ontario's tourism industry in terms of spending, economic impact and attracting visitors, "said Martha Durdin, OAC Chair . It also provides useful information on how to further tap into this large potential market for the province's arts and culture offerings."
"Cultural tourism is a powerful force that is transforming global travel and trends," said Michael Chan, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport . "Our diverse arts, culture and heritage has helped us attract visitors from within our borders and beyond to explore and experience our exciting province. Our government is committed to evolving our tourism strategy to align with our cultural assets – for example, harnessing live music experiences that will drive our economy and firmly place Ontario on the international map as a premier cultural travel destination."

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks edged lower yesterday after a surprisingly weak manufacturing report heightened concern that fiscal deadlock in Washington already is hurting the economy.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 59.98 points, to close at 12,965.60. The Standard and Poor's 500 dropped 6.72 points, to 1,409.46. The Nasdaq composite was down 8.04 points, to 3,002.20
U.S. manufacturing declined in November to its weakest level since July 2009, the Institute for Supply Management reported. Its index fell to 49.5 from 51.7 a month earlier, below the 51.2 reading forecast by analysts. A reading below 50 on the scale means that manufacturing is contracting. Businesses expressed concerns about the "fiscal cliff," a series of sharp government spending cuts and tax increases scheduled to start Jan. 1 unless an agreement is reached to cut the deficit.

The Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) at Michigan State University is an educational program designed to give men and women the opportunity to become an Air Force officer while earning a degree. After successfully completing the program, you will be commissioned a second lieutenant and begin serving as an officer in leadership roles of increasing responsibility and importance in the "active duty" Air Force.
Training to become an officer in the Air Force occurs at over 1000 institutions throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Typically, the training, which occurs in a Four-Year or Two-Year Program, is comprised of the following:
The General Military Course (GMC) portion of the program is usually taken during your freshman and sophomore years. This program allows you to "try out" Air Force ROTC for up to two years without incurring any obligation (unless you have accepted an Air Force ROTC scholarship). As you attend class, you will learn about the Air Force and the historical development of air power.
As an Air Force ROTC cadet, you will also have up to two hours each week to put into practice the leadership skills and management theories presented in class. Leadership Laboratory is a cadet-centered program taken each year to improve a student's leadership skills.
If selected, you will usually attend Field Training during the summer before you enter the POC portion of the program. Field Training, which takes place at an Air Force base, offers you a first-hand look at the Air Force environment. While there, you will receive career orientation, junior officer training, aircraft and aircrew orientations, survival training, weapon familiarization and training, physical conditioning, and an overview of the organization and function of an Air Force base.
The Professional Officer Course (POC) portion of the program is primarily available to:
The leadership and national defense policy courses are the same for both the Two-Year and the Four-Year program.
You must apply for admission into the POC program. The selection process is competitive, so it is important to apply early (typically in your sophomore year).
A select number of cadets are also chosen to attend (typically during the summer following their freshman or junior academic year) a two-week professional development program on an Air Force base. If you are selected, you will be paid to work and learn. This is a great opportunity to see the Air Force in action. You will see officers doing the same work you will be doing after you graduate.
Air Force ROTC offers Two-Year and Three-Year scholarships to college students in all academic majors, whether liberal arts, technical fields, or pre-medical.
Scholarship inquiries and applications are made directly through the professor of aerospace studies at Michigan State University's Detachment 380. Submissions are made during your freshman, sophomore, or junior year. Other Air Force scholarship opportunities may be available in addition to the programs discussed here. Check with Detachment 380 for the current status of any other open programs.
You can join the ROTC program and remain a Western Michigan University student, although you will be required to drive to MSU's campus once a week. Our Leadership Laboratory is held on Thursday from 4:10 pm to 6:10 pm, although there is an alternate time to attend if you have conflicts. You will attend a one-credit class if you are a freshman or sophomore, or a four-credit class if you are a junior or senior. You will be able to sign-up for the program at WMU at the same time you enroll for your other classes. Give us a call to determine what classes you should be enrolled in.
To qualify for the General Military Course, you must:
To qualify for the Professional Officer Course, you must meet all of the qualifications for the General Military Course and:
After graduating from college and completing all Air Force ROTC requirements, you will be commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Air Force. Non-flying officers serve four years on active duty, navigators serve six years after training, and pilots serve 10 years after training.

Army ROTC is an elective curriculum you take along with your required college classes. It gives you the tools, training and experiences that will help you succeed in any competitive environment. Along with great leadership training, Army ROTC can pay for your college tuition. Because Army ROTC is an elective, you can participate your freshman and sophomore years without any obligation to join the Army. You will have a normal college student experience like everyone else on campus, but when you graduate, you will be commissioned as an Officer in the Army. At that point, you will have a wide range of interest areas you can specialize in called branches.

Cankamana is among one of the articles, which was purified by the pious presence of Lord Buddha. It is one of the pathways which was utilised in the third week of enlightenment by Lord Buddha for the purpose of meditation. This pathway is located towards the northern fringe of the Bodhi temple complex.
On this pathway, spots which were believed to be blessed with the feet of Lord Buddha have been carved into black stone lotuses. In addition, this pathway is considered sacred by many and is worshipped by the devotees visiting this place. Tourists travelling to this place can see several monks and Bhikkus in the vicinity of this spot chanting prayer.
