THE BLACK SUN UNVEILED and the Birthday Child of December 21, 23 2012..
The Mural of Bank of America has spawned a lot of Esoteric and Masonic study...It has been compared to the Esoteric Murals of the Denver Airport.
Its always been December 21 or 23
Both dates are used.. My Dell Horoscope mag uses the December 23rd, And here is a explanation from Great dreams .com
The canonical dates (according to Ehran the Scribe) on the ends of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth worlds are August 12, 3113 BCE (the fall of Atlantis), December 24, 2011 CE (the appearance of Ryumyo), and April 4, 7137 CE. This gives 5123-5125 years per mana cycle [1,871,270 days for the Fifth World's duration, and 1,871,969 for the Sixth World's]. The Mayan Long Count suggests 1.872M days, or 5125.36 years. It also seems that Ehran's dates are a year late (0.0.0.0.0 should be August 11 or 12, 3114 BCE— the astronomical year –3113) and a year early (18.104.22.168.0 corresponds to December 21 or 23, 2012).

The one on the furthest right is called Planning/Knowledge. and features a blonde boy of about five years old standing in front of a Pyramid and atop a red and white checkerboard floor. Businessmen look at him as if puzzled.
Now lets look back to a different year..
Planning was undertaken for many years to await the December 23, 2007 alignment that created a Grand Cross in the Sky... The Sun was to conjunct Jupiter, Mercury , Pluto to create the top of the upright beam, Venus in Scorpio was to create the left hand cross beam reflective of the passions of paganism, and Neptune and Chiron was to create the right hand cross beam reflective of the flood judgment of Yahweh.
The Moon opposeth at the bottom of the Upright beam along with the Moon at the feet of the Woman and Mars which represented the Soldiers spear.
Now we flash forward to five years on December 21, 23, 2012 of the Mayan Calendar Prophecy..
December 21, 23 2012,
"Happy Birthday Fresco Boy ! . The Woman was Impregnated by Saturn.. the Cube of New Jerusalem had begun .
SOL INVICTUS and his Christmas Birthday was the reason for the season..
Lets look at the image of the Black Sun of Saturn and Nigredo.. In December 23, 2007, Saturn was in Virgo, (the woman) and opposed Uranus in Pisces. This was the descent of the Philosopher King when at Noon you had the Aries Ascendant. This created a Square alignment across the sacral chakra of the one impaled.. As mythology attests, Uranus was castrated and so was Osiris.
The Black Sun (invisible) is also alchemical body besides the nigredo of saturn. The Mystery alignment is called.
Black Sun Feast Day...
December 24th, when it conjuncts the visible Sun
Underneath the Black Sun is a cube with a woman ascending under its rays, (beams)
This can be explained in the Rebis Alchemical formula that was pictured in the Black Eyed Peas Video. (Meet me Halfway)
Finalizing the Cube and Pyramid is the Triumphant alignment of the Trine and the Cross resulting in a cube of the alchemical marriage...
BOY (Manchild) AROUND 5 years old...
The Burning Bush of Moses proclaims, I am that I am..under the fire of Aries, the Acendant of the Alpha.
The key phrase for Aries is "I am"

These days, few small businesses have Apple-sized advertising budgets with tens of millions of bucks available for prime time TV ads. And yet, you still have to get the word out about your business somehow.
Chances are you're already off to a good start without really realizing that you're marketing. Now it's time to take it to the next level. Here are seven proven tips to help market your business better, all with a minimal budget.
- Must-have marketing tools – Start with a professionally designed business card. It's the first thing you hand to prospects when you meet them. Next, memorize a tightly scripted 30-second "infomercial" or elevator speech focusing on your unique selling proposition. And make sure your full contact info is in every email you send.
- Use your website to achieve end-to-end synergy – No matter how much you have to spend, all of your marketing efforts should use your website as the nexus of your services. All of your emails, direct marketing materials, print ads, newsletters, press releases, and ads should feature your domain name to build traffic. Doing so is key to converting prospects to customers.
- Network, network, network! – The more ways you can network, the more potential you have to meet people. A weekly Business Network International chapter has been terrific for me. Your local Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis, Lions Club, and Rotary are also viable networking groups. But don't forget the soaring popularity of online social media sites like LinkedIn, Yahoo Groups, Facebook, and Twitter.
- Low-cost advertising ideas – Run small space ads in your local Chamber newsletter. Mail personalized postcards or use SendOutCards.com, an online system that sends postcards printed with handwriting fonts. Also, read blogs like this for free advice –– or write a column of your own somewhere and build an audience!
- Savvy promotional ideas – Become a shameless self-promoter whenever you have the opportunity. Put a sandwich board outside your business. Slap a sign on your car. Send an e-newsletter through MailChimp, Campaigner, VerticalResponse, or Constant Contact. Use your website to promote an offer that will expire in 30 days – and send an email to drive traffic to it.
- Proven direct response ideas – It's far more cost-effective and successful to market to your base of current customers rather than prospects. Ask past customers if they're still interested in your product or services – if not, why? Mail a series of three to five postcards using testimonials.
- Blog a bunch – By starting a blog and writing short articles or a weekly basis, you'll expand your digital footprint, build your brand, establish yourself as an expert, and possibly sell more of your product or service that you ever thought. The most important thing about blogging is to keep it up: An out-of-date blog says you just don't care, or (worse) have gone out of business.

MP 506081/16 Ophthalmic Glasses
MP 506081 is a fashion statement, for which sunshine is not necessarily required, because these sunglasses enhance your natural radiance turning night into day. The MP 506081 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Marc O Polo collections 2015 and 2016.
Expressive lines add character to the classical approach, making the glasses a must-have for women. Eyewear is in. Full rim is extremely popular, because you feel that you get more eyeglass for your money. It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. The square shape gives round faces a concise form and makes them appear more striking. It sets a highlight in the appearance, drawing attention to itself. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The MP 506081 is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Black is one of the undisputed classics. It can be combined with any outfit and simultaneously radiates elegance and naturalness. This brand of sunglasses, of course, also provides your eyes with optimum UV400 protection.
Even if this Marc O Polo is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten. In our online shop we have consistently low prices. You won't get MP 506081 at such a low price, not even in the sale.

This new resolution recalls ITUs role in implementing the WSIS outcomes, as outlined in Resolution 140 (Rev. Guadalajara, 2010). It also cites Paragraph 111 of the Tunis Agenda, which requested the United Nations General Assembly to make an overall review of the implementation of WSIS outcomes in 2015. In response to that request, the United Nations General Assembly, in its Resolution 60/252, decided to conduct an overall review of the implementation of the Summit outcomes in 2015.
The new resolution instructs the ITU Secretary-General to initiate consultations with the United Nations Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB) in order to prepare the overall review of implementation of WSIS outcomes in 2015, including the possibility of holding a high-level event in 2014 or 2015. He is also instructed to propose to CEB to make the necessary preparations based on the multi-stakeholder approach; pursue efficient and effective coordination with all stakeholders in preparing the overall review; and report to the Council on the results of this process, for its consideration and decision. For its part, the Council is instructed, in the light of the results of the Secretary-Generals consultation, to:
- consider and decide on ITU's role in, and contribution to, the overall review process; - examine ways and means to enhance ITUs lead role in any relevant preparatory process;- request the Secretary-General, under the preparatory process, to coordinate with all stakeholders and provide mechanisms, including the possibility of holding open consultations; - evaluate, at its 2011 session, the financial burden for ITU that might result from its contribution to the preparatory process;- report to the next Plenipotentiary Conference on preparations for final overall review of the implementation of the WSIS outcomes and formulate proposals for further activities.

I've always liked lizards.
Growing up in the outskirts of Los Angeles, I played in the foothills near our home. Sometimes I'd catch a lizard and stroke its belly, so it would relax in my hands, seeming to feel at ease.
In my early 20′s, I found a lizard one chilly morning in the mountains. It was torpid and still in the cold and let me pick it up. Concerned that it might be freezing to death, I placed it on the shoulder of my turtleneck, where it clung and occasionally moved about for the rest of the day. There was a kind of wordless communication between us, in which the lizard seemed to feel … Read more »
Evolution — at least in the United States — has a deeply troubled relationship with religion. Or at least it does with some religions.
As you can see from the Pew Trust chart below, Buddhists on the whole (81% of them) think that evolution is the best explanation for the origins of human life on Earth.
In fact of all the religious traditions included on the chart, Buddhists are the most accepting of evolution, with evangelical Christians, Mormons, and Jehovah's Witnesses being the least accepting.
Those of us who value an objective and evidence-based (read "scientific") understanding of the world are greatly disturbed by attempts to displace sound science from the classroom, to introduce spurious … Read more »

thx man the video was good.
I've tried this over a wired ethernet connection to the network. The target machines web browsing experience was only slightly slower than normal - not slow enough to alarm the user.
I managed to sniff my Paypal password and Windows Live Mail (via web), also login details for an unsecure site. I was able to sniff Gmail also, but I couldn't get to the mailbox, when logging in it just took me to the login screen again. I assume this is because Gmail does a check to ensure we're using SSL, like the other poster said in this thread.
With the iptables command in the tutorial, it will only route web browsing traffic through the man in the middle, any other port is not routed. For example, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger will not connect - which is likely to alarm the user and prompt him to investigate.
Surely there must be a way to tell iptables to route all ports through the man in the middle, in order to create a more seamless attack. Anyone know what the command would be?
Well done and thanks to g0tmi1k for bringing this vulnerability to light.
thx man the video was good.
Actually i am also having sm similar trouble, My sslstrip says-- error 501 message unsupported method ('CONNECT)
I am using port 3128 instead of 80 as my HHTP proxy is runnig for same.
Victim -192.168.65.12
Proxy server (HTTP) 192.168.1.32:3128
And when i implement the same the Victim's net connectivity is blocked- works as a DoS for him. How do I rectify the error/problem here(which maybe authorization for LDAP pass ) cos my internal proxy server 192.168.1.32 is blocking it.
Hmm, when i run the iptable command i get
Bad argument `PREROUTING
I have edit the /etc/etter.conf already
I've been playing with this for the better part of 3 hours now and can't seem to find a solution to my problem anywhere. First, a little background:
Attacker Machine: Backtrack 4 Final (VM Workstation) 192.168.1.105 eth0
Victim Machine: Ubuntu 64 9.10 (VM Workstation) 192.168.1.110
Base Machine Running VM's: Windows 7 192.168.1.107
Router: Linksys WRT54G2 192.168.1.1
I've followed each step in the video one by one and done everything exactly as it was demonstrated.
I uncommented /etc/etter.conf at the iptables section and saved it, then I ran theNext, I ranCode:echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwardand arpspoof started doing its thing. I opened up another konsole and ranCode:arpspoof -i eth0 -t 192.168.1.110 192.168.1.1
next I started ettercapCode:iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --desination-port 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 10000
and everything looked to be running just fine.Code:ettercap -T -q -i eth0
Switching over to the Ubuntu box, it gives me an 'Unable to Connect' error in Firefox (whereas previously it worked just fine). When I runon the Ubuntu box it shows that the default gateway is pointing to the BT4's mac address.Code:arp
If I kill all the processes (ettercap text mode and arpspoof) and attempt to run ettercap in GUI mode (using the built-in ARP Spoofing) it no longer successfully spoofs. If I reboot the boxes from scratch and run nothing but the ettercap GUI, however, it spoofs successfully and the Internet seems to be working normally. Ettercap then is able to pick up ftp passwords, but cannot pick up anything in ssl.
One other thing to note: While running arpspoof and Ettercap as demonstrated in the tutorial, I happened to log into my router (192.168.1.1) from my base PC (192.168.1.107) to see what the model number was. Ettercap managed to successfully capture the username and password of my router.
Any help would be much appreciated as I've been racking my brain over this for hours and almost spent an equal amount of time trying to put this problem into words.
does it display 1?Code:cat 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Does it work if you do just arpspoof?
Have you tired doing
Have you tired running sslstrip?Code:arpspoof -i eth0 -t 192.168.1.110 192.168.1.1 arpspoof -i eth0 -t 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.110
Can you ping anything? (either google, the router, another node etc)?
What if you only did ettercap?
Hopefully something will work (=Code:ettercap -T -q -i eth0 -M ARP /192.168.1.1/ /192.168.1.110/
~ Have you, g0tmi1k? ~
:rolleyes: <(^^,)> :p d[-_^]b (= =D-->--< :eek:
when runningit displays cat: 1:no such file or directorycat 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
will i figure it out
i should remove the ">"
thanxx for that great tut by the way
very nice
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I just moved into a new house and only got the network set up yesterday so I couldn't run any tests.
Thanks for the detailed response, here's what I've got so far...
displays the same thing that thearcher got, "cat: 1: no such file or directory"Code:cat 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
I ran
(two separate konsoles, one arpspoof in each) followed by the same iptables and ettercap commands that previously followed itCode:arpspoof -i eth0 -t 192.168.1.110 192.168.1.1 arpspoof -i eth0 -t 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.110
...but it still gave me the 'unable to connect' error when attempting to view Google on the Ubuntu (victim) box. I am, however, able to ping the "router" successfully from the Ubuntu box while arpspoof is running.
Since this was unsuccessful, I killed the arpspoof and ettercap processes and tried to run ettercap by itself as you suggested
Again, 'unable to connect'.Code:ettercap -T -q -i eth0 -M ARP /192.168.1.1/ /192.168.1.110/
So I figured I'd try again from a fresh reboot on both attacker (BT4) and victim (Ubuntu) boxes. This time I started with just ettercap using the above command. It worked flawlessly, picking up my gmail login credentials (once I told it to trust the untrusted certificate).
Now, to get rid of the untrusted certificate message, I quit ettercap, and in two separate konsoles, ran
Unfortunately, while this still managed to successfully run the ARP spoof and capture the login info, it did not get rid of the 'untrusted' certificate message. So I figured I'd kill sslstrip and ettercap and go back and try running the iptables commandCode:sslstrip -a -k -f ettercap -T -q -i eth0 -M ARP /192.168.1.1/ /192.168.1.110/
I then fired up sslstrip followed by ettercap again and this seemed to get rid of the 'untrusted certificate' message. However, it took me 3 tries to log into gmail (it just kept kicking me back to the login screen until it finally let me in). When I finally managed to log in, the credentials were not picked up by ettercap. When I went to the PayPal website, ettercap again did not pick up any credentials but sslstrip showed me the long paypal URL that it had just found.Code:iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 10000
I figured this had something to do with the fact that I hadn't run the
command this time, so I killed ettercap and sslstrip, ran the echo 1... command, ran the iptables command again, started sslstrip and started ettercap... and now I'm back to getting the 'Unable to Connect' error in Firefox again.Code:echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
...just when I think I'm getting somewhere I end up back where I started.
To sum up what your saying:Code:cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
> Victim cant surf when you do arpspoof
> Victim can surf when you use ettercap
> sslstrip isnt working with ettercap
*I also had this problem - I dunno why, only work when I use arpspoof.*
Is your victim wired or wireless? (Dunno if it makes a different - just "putting it out there")
~ Have you, g0tmi1k? ~

Insiders Are Buying Owens Realty Mortgage
Posted by: Markus Aarnio (IP Logged)
Date: September 12, 2013 04:19PM
One real estate investment trust has seen intensive insider buying during the last 30 days. Intensive insider buying can be defined by the following three criteria:
The stock is purchased by three or more insiders within one month.
The stock is sold by no insiders in the month of intensive purchasing.
At least two purchasers increase their holdings by more than 10%.
Owens Realty Mortgage (ORM) is a real estate investment trust that invests in commercial real estate mortgage loans primarily in the Western U.S. The company specializes in loans that require speed and flexibility. Owens Realty Mortgage is externally managed and advised by Owens Financial Group.
Insider Buying During the Last 30 Days
Here is a table of Owens Realty Mortgage's insider-trading activity by calendar month.
There have been 7,000 shares purchased and there have been zero shares sold by insiders this year.
Owens Realty Mortgage reported the second-quarter financial results on August 14 with the following highlights:
Owens Realty Mortgage announced on August 15 a stock repurchase plan to repurchase five percent of the company's outstanding shares.
Owens Realty Mortgage's competitors include American Assets Trust (AAT), Alexandria Real Estate Equities (ARE) and Boston Properties (BXP). American Assets Trust has seen five insider buy transactions and four insider sell transactions this year. American Assets Trust has a dividend yield of 2.78%. Alexandria Real Estate Equities has seen 14 insider sell transactions this year. Alexandria Real Estate Equities has a dividend yield of 4.10%. Boston Properties has seen one insider buy transaction and four insider sell transactions this year. Boston Properties has a dividend yield of 2.43%.
There have been three different insiders buying Owens Realty Mortgage and there have not been any insiders selling Owens Realty Mortgage during the last 30 days. All three of these insiders increased their holdings by more than 10%.
Owens Realty Mortgage has a book value of $16.53 per share and the stock has a dividend yield of 1.53%. I believe the stock could be a good pick below the book value of $16.53 per share.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.
Stocks Discussed: ORM, AAT, ARE, BXP,

Bathrooms present unique challenges when it comes to finding functional yet decorative storage solutions. Bathroom cabinets, size and budget are obvious considerations when planning your bathroom storage ideas. Whether you need to organize toiletries or towels or you prefer bamboo or bronze, bathroom storage solutions are abundant if you know where to start. This article details the top 5 bathroom cabinet and storage solutions.
Hampers: Hampers aren't just for dirty laundry anymore. Available in a variety of sizes and styles, large hampers can be used to contain stacks of clean towels, while smaller ones can hold hand towels or washcloths. Tuck away bed linens and blankets or toilet paper in hampers. Consider a matched set or buy several different styles to add interest to a bathroom.
Storage bins: Handy canvas, plastic, metal or even bamboo bins are useful for helping control smaller items. These can be used on the counter, under the sink or in a bathroom cabinet. Perfect for grouping toiletries, first-aid supplies or hair-care products, bins make storing, locating and accessing your supplies a snap. Some even come with lids, making them stackable and even better space-savers.
Furniture: Free-standing bathroom cabinets come in a variety of sizes for every size bathroom. Some are tall and thin, fitting into corners. Others are as wide as china cabinets and reside along wall space. Some resemble the cabinets often found under sinks, but they make use of additional surface space, nestling into available spaces and nooks. Cabinets can hold linens, cleaning supplies and toiletries. Towel safes are cabinets designed specifically for holding bath linens. Bathroom cabinets are versatile and available not only in a variety of sizes, but also in a variety of textures and budget considerations. Medicine cabinets also come in a wide range of sizes and are ideal for controlling clutter.
Over the toilet: Wall-mounted cabinets are a natural choice to be placed over a toilet. Available in bamboo, wood, metal and plastic, these cabinets are the perfect addition to your bathroom for extra storage. Units that straddle toilet tanks can have small cabinets as well as shelves for bathroom necessities.
Vanities: A vanity can be a decorative addition to a bathroom and a functional one as well. Vanities provide the unique spaces needed to store items such as blow dryers, curling irons, makeup and skin-care products. Some come with mirrors and cabinets or drawers for organizing brushes, combs and other essentials.

Oxygen bounds ahead
Published: 11 January, 2016
Oxygen Freejumping takes five further sites to become largest trampoline operator in the UK
Oxygen Freejumping, has reached a landmark deal with Lucozade Powerleague to acquire five sites in total, comprising 162,000 sq ft of trampoline parks throughout the UK.
Following these latest deals, Oxygen, which opened in West Acton and Southampton in 2015, is now the largest trampoline operator in the UK. The company is also set to close a significant funding round in the next few weeks in order to support further growth to circa 15 sites this year.
The five Lucozade Powerleague sites comprise: Derby 30,000 sq ft; Blackburn 35,000 sq ft; Trafford Park (next to Chill Factor and intu Trafford Centre) 32,500 sq ft; North Shields 33,000 sq ft; and Wigan 31,000 sq ft. Most of the units have been acquired as a sub-let from DW Sports on a 15-year lease. Average rents are £7.65 per sq ft and represents an annual investment of £1.2m.
West Acton is already well ahead of projected targets and over 120,000 visitors attended the park in the last six months. Oxygen is set to repeat such success at these new sites, which will all become unique leisure locations with football, fitness and freejumping on offer. The sites have been acquired through sub-divisions of the Soccer Domes and will sit alongside Lucozade Power League's current offer.
David Stalker, CEO of Oxygen Freejumping said: "We have two further sites in solicitors' hands and are looking for 18-50,000 sq ft in key locations throughout the market. Our health & safety record is exceptional and we are the premium operator in the market."
Rob Howarth of JLL, who acted for Oxygen, added: "The sector is extremely competitive as trampolining grows in popularity. Competition for sites is similar to the early growth of the budget health & fitness market circa five years ago. But just as we saw back then, one or two operators are emerging streaks ahead of the pack and will gain the biggest share of the market.
"Oxygen Freejumping offers a premium leisure offer and has significant funding in place, as well as offering value for money to its customer. Oxygen spends on average twice as much on their fit out as other operators and it shows. West Acton and Southampton are trading exceptionally well and we are looking for units with 6m high eaves within retail and leisure parks or roadside and warehouse sites."

Afternoons have been boring lately, no parks, no mountains, no bunnies, no snacks, the little brat Perro keeps biting my hocks(grrrrrrrrr)
i think i will snuff him out when Mom is not looking, except she might get mad, i don't like to make her mad ever, i might not get my bone that week.
She may think i am just lying here waiting around for her to take me outside, but really i am secretly plotting to sneak away to Bunny hill. I have located it about 10 minutes of running to where they sun sets. I will leave the little brat Perro behind, he thinks bunnies are his friend, he knows not the pleasure of bunny busting, he knows not the excitement of running circles round holes that smell of bunny stench, digging into the earth and coming up with bunny bone bits.
It seems that we are moving. Mom has taken up the unsual practice of boxing things up, where are these things going? Where are we going with all these plants in the van, why are we in this dusty old house? Why does she vacuum up my hair in the van, i was planning on making a new bed in the back of the van and she cleaned it all up, why did she leave us in the van when she goes into that building, i know there is food in there, i know there is chicken and fish, i can smell it damn it!

Jurors in the Roger Clemens perjury trial resumed deliberations about 1:30 p.m. today and asked for an exhibit list, indicating they may want to go over the many issues raised in the case in an orderly, methodical manner.
U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton asked the prosecution and defense teams to produce the list and prosecutors said it would take an hour for them to prepare theirs because they had to edit out exhibits that did not come into evidence.
Jurors deliberated for only about 15 minutes after they got the case Tuesday and have only a half-day today because of a scheduling conflict this morning. They will not deliberate Thursday and Friday because of other scheduling conflicts and if they don't reach a verdict today, as seems likely given their request, they would resume Monday morning.
Walton said defense attorney Rusty Hardin raised an issue after Tuesday's closing arguments about whether one of the jurors dozed off during his summation. Hardin said today he was satisfied the juror was not really asleep but perhaps listening with her eyes closed.
Clemens is charged with perjury, making false statements and obstructing Congress when he testified under oath at a 2008 hearing that he never took steroids or human growth hormone. His chief accuser is Brian McNamee, a former New York Yankees strength and conditioning coach, who testified that he injected Clemens with steroids in 1998, 2000 and 2001 and HGH in 2000.
The trial included 26 days of testimony by 46 witnesses. There is a great deal of ground for jurors to cover; the verdict sheet includes 13 statements made by Clemens that prosecutors say obstructed Congress in its investigation of steroids use in baseball. Assistant U.S. attorney Gil Guerrero told jurors Tuesday that the government had proved all 13 false but that jurors need find that Clemens misled Congress in only one to find him guilty on the obstruction count.
Hardin told jurors Tuesday that the case never should have been brought. "This is outrageous," he said at one point, pounding the podium, apparently for effect. Today he said he'd banged it to make sure that one juror was awake.

Latest Israeli-Palestinian land dispute centers on shrinking Dead Sea
- By J. Dana StusterJ. Dana Stuster is a policy analyst at the National Security Network.
In a country where land is such a precious commodity, you might think that suddenly having more acreage would be a blessing. Instead, it's sparked yet another political fight.
As it has for decades, the water level of the Dead Sea is dropping at a rate of more than three feet a year — largely as a result of dams built in Israel, Jordan, and Syria, and water subsidies that make agricultural irrigation cheap and wasteful. This, in turn, has caused the shoreline to recede and exposed 35,000 acres of new, unclaimed land.
Today, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that, after two years of legal battles, the Israeli Civil Adminstration has decided that the new coastline is state land. The decision comes despite the claims of neighboring Palestinian communities that their holdings previously extended to the waterline, and that the newly exposed land should therefore be theirs as well. According to the Haaretz report, the Civil Administration could not verify these claims.
Shoreline property is a particularly valuable resource on the Dead Sea. Resorts built on beachfront property 20 years ago now have to shuttle tourists to the water's edge. The sea's southern portion is hydraulically engineered and entirely artificial — pumps transport water from the north into "evaporation pools" in the south for the production of potash and other cosmetic products that capitalize on the sea's supposed healing properties.
The Haaretz article notes that the Israeli government will use the land for tourism projects, but whether the territory can sustain development is uncertain; the exposed land is pockmarked by large sinkholes where now-dry aquifers have collapsed, and the runoff that does make it to the Dead Sea is polluted by sewage. The new land may be more trouble than it is worth, but that's not likely to defuse the fight over who controls it.

357 mag vs. 44 mag
I'm debating whether to buy a .357 magnum or a .44 magnum - probaly Smith and Wesson, but I'll consider other brands. At the moment, I'm considering a S&W 689 vs. 629. Incidentally, I like Papa's new toy: http://www.survivalistboards.com/sho...d.php?t=134850 !
I want a "bear stopper" if I unexpectedly encounter one in the woods, so I want as much power as I can, but, I also want to be able to shoot the thing as reliably and accurately as possible.
(BTW, I already have an XD 9mm for home defense.)
What are your opinions? Thanks in advance.
I don't live in big bear country. Just plain old black bear. However, many folks have walked into bear country with a 357. That caliber will offer great penetration. I wouldn't feel undergunned with it. 357 offers deeper penetration than a 44 magnum does.
I would definitely try one out before buying. IF you do buy a 44 magnum, you need to reload. Not only the ammo is close to $1 a shot, you will also like to load it down to lighter loads so you can enjoy practicing with it. I would not get a 44 magnum any smaller than what was pictured in that thread.
However, IF anything bigger than black bear is around; i'm bringing my rifle. IF you feel unsafe in an area with black bears, just bring the 9mm loaded with good stuff. You much more likely to get hassled by coyotes or pigs down south than black bear. Black bears are smart, they know not to mess with humans. It's the humans that are dumb enough not to leave them alone that get into trouble. You see a bear, first make a bit of noise. A decent portion of the time the bear doesn't know you're there. I have done tons of hiking and camping in an area well known for black bear. I rarely brought a gun with me. If I did it usually was primarily for some squirrel hunting. However, when specificly hunting small game in bear area, I do bring a 12 gauge with me instead of the 22lr now.

The 44 mag doesn't kick THAT hard... Shoot one and decide if it is too much. My 44 mag is the funnest gun I have, just because it does have some guts behind it. Also, you can shoot 44 special out of a 44 mag if you want lighter loads to practice with. The .357 may well be what suites you, but don't fear the 44 mag.

Whatever pistol you decide to use for bear, just remember to file down the front site ................ This is extremely important.
That way when the bear shoves the pistol up your butt, it doesn't hurt as bad.
Get an 870 Remington 12 ga. , smooth bore with rifle sights.

I own 3 different 357. Ruger, SW EAA. Personally i love the EAA. but thats just me lol.
You will have plenty of power to stop a bear, use FMJ HPs
I vote for the .44.
Self defense is self defense. In a self defense situation you want to bring the most (stopping) power to bear (no pun intended) you possibly can, as quickly as you can.
YOU can adjust to the .44 magnum's characteristics. The gun can not adjust to the bear's.
. . obviously not a majority opinion. But its mine none the less.

I own both calibers
I reload for both
Both guns have barrels, with that I mean my 357 has 8 3/8 and my 44 has 7 1/2 inch barrel
I use both weapons in the field depending on what I'm hunting
You need to assess portability with your weapon. I would not suggest anything with less than 4 inch barrel with 6 inch being optimum. The longer barrels give you more control, better accuracy, more velocity, less recoil and less muzzle blast with fully loaded cartridges.
Unless you are using strictly for self defense then the game changes a bit
You cannot go wrong with either cartridge
If bear is your concern, I would opt for the 44 mag
Practice, Practice, Practice
Good Luck!

I worked with about 5 guys at my last base than when they were stationed in Alaska when they went into the woods that they carried nothing smaller than a .44 mag. They said that was the recommended round up there. I myself love my .44 SAA.

You are 100 times more likely to have to use a gun on another human in the back country. So IMO thats what I would prepare for.
Bear Spray for the bears, bring the 9mm for the crazies. Save your money to spend on a nice rifle or more preps!

I've camped and hunted in black bear country in AZ, NM, CA and CO for most of my life. While hunting I have a centerfire rifle, and usually carry a .22 handgun. When just camping I carry a .357 mag. revolver with 158 or 180 gr. bullets, jacketed softpoint, not hollow points, and have never felt undergunned.
If you're in black bear country, I'd say you'll be fine with the .357 mag. loaded with suitable bullets. However, if you're going into grizzly territory I'd carry a nice pump action 20- or 12-ga. shotgun loaded with slugs.
I've shot .44 mag and Spl. many times. They're nice guns and fun to shoot. I just can't justify the added expense for the gun and the ammo for no more increase in power than they give. Other alternatives are the .41 mag, if you can find one, and a NEW .45 Long Colt. they give more power than the .357, but less recoil and noise than the .44, and the .45 LC can be handloaded to produce .44 mag. ballistics in new guns made to handle the pressures.
florida, is that you?

Ruger GP-100 and it will outlast you.
. . . almost.

Here's the beef. Can shoot 44 specials also for home defense. This is the best all round gn I've ever had. More stopping power than the .357. Can also load it up to the power of a .454 Casull. It is so well made and hefty, that the kick isn't much.
|The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to albertjohnson For This Useful Post:
If you dont have any wrist issues and are a fairly beefy fellow go with the 44 mag with a nice big comfy grip. That thin wood grip looks nice but will hurt your hand eventually. Ive shot with both types of grip and the big comfy ones work great, the wood sucks.
If you are a smaller fella and have small wrist then go with the 357 with the comfy grip.
Get the 44, if your worried about kick get one that is ported. If you encounter a grizzly or a sasquatch you will thank me.

My truck has on occasion completely shut off when I make a tight turn such as a U-turn or turning into a driveway, it happens when I turn the wheel all the way and hit the gas, it will completely turn off, I have to put it back into park and turn it on again, I haven't had any problems with turning it back on, but just thought it was kind of odd, it doesn't happen every time either. Has anyone had this happen to them? Know what the problem may be?

Emma, my six-year-old, feels destined for stardom. The child has been obsessed with music since before she could talk. She could operate my iPod before she was eating solid food and had very specific tastes. For Christmas last year she told me all she wanted was a guitar and "sheep" music. She got a guitar and in an effort to keep her musical tastes family friendly I downloaded several Kidz Bop albums to our families music library. If she was going to be memorizing the words to every song she liked, I preferred that they be words she could repeat in Sunday school without me having to explain myself.
While I often find my eight-year-old, Aubrey, curled up in a corner of the house with a book, Emma is usually standing in front of a mirror, music blasting, working on her dance moves and singing at the top of her lungs.
She tries to play her guitar but she's small for her age and her tiny little hands just are big enough yet. So this year she started taking piano lessons. She rolls her eyes and gets huffy on occasion when I tell her it's time to practice but usually all I have to say is, "Do you want to be a rock star or not?" to get her off the couch and in front of the keyboard.
This past weekend we went to see The Farm People (my in-laws) in Alabama for Thanksgiving. The Farm People have hayrides of epic proportions: hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill, crockpots full of chili simmering nearby, a table full of desserts and Pop Pete's famous hot chocolate bubbling in the biggest pot they own. Pop Pete hitches his mules to the wagon for moonlit rides through the hayfield.
There is always a bonfire, square dancing and music. This year there was karaoke. I was surprised when Emma came to me begging to sing. Her first dance recital was a complete bust. She was absolutely horrified at the thought of being on stage in front of all those people but this weekend she could not be dissuaded. She wanted to sing and she wanted to sing Taylor Swift.
I went with her to help her find a song she knew. Emma got a little sheepish once she was on the stage and asked me to get her cousin Faith to sing with her. Faith came, bringing a gaggle of girls with her and surrounded by a protective wall of tweens, Emma sang her heart out. She sang three Taylor Swift songs in a row and when the DJ handed a microphone to another little girl Emma waved me over. I leaned down so she could whisper in my ear.
"I want everybody off the stage but Faith!" She hissed.
I told my little diva that this wasn't a private concert and she was going to have to share the spotlight. After a few more songs I dragged her off the stage to let other people sing.
Later I overheard someone ask Emma what she wants for Christmas this year and she didn't hesitate.
"I want a violin AND a ukelele."
Now if we could just figure out how she could play all these instruments at the same time her Daddy and I can retire.

Back when I was in middle school, our P.E. teacher was a real pain in the, you know where. He was an ex-drill instructor from the Marine Corps. Well, he owned one of those tiny brand new Honda N series cars. We picked it up, and placed behind the posts, that blocked vehicles from driving down the school walk ways. We also would turn it sideways in the parking space.
We found out where he lived, and gazed at the roof of his car port. We decided to park it on top of it. 2 long planks of wood, a rope, and success.
The next morning we were watching from down the street, while the police were writing down the report on his 'stolen' car.
The little old lady that lived across the street from him, walked out in her robe to pick up the morning paper. She just stood there gazing at the car on the car port, and one of the officers noticed her, and turned around and looked up.
The last 5 weeks before summer vacation, started out pure h**l for all of his students, and when he found out those of us that did it. I'll just say, he laughed while we were wishing we were dead.

By Denise K. Potter, Nameberry
New Jersey gets no respect. We've been laughed at, lied to, hell—we've even endured some pretty serious storms. But hey, you have to hand it to us, we're survivors. The Garden State has a lot going for it—like these baby names with history you've got to read to believe, written by yours truly, a proud 'Joi-sey' girl. You want to make something of it? And for all those who think we're just a landfill: Dream on, read on, and just remember, we're Jersey Strong; we can handle anything you've got.
Aberdeen– This Scottish place-name for girls can also refer to the beach-township in Monmouth County.
Alice– In 1920, the celebrated suffragist and women's rights activist, Alice Paul, led the campaign that resulted in the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Born in Mount Laurel and died in Moorestown, she was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1979. A name that is strong and sweet, Alice is also popular, jumping from Number 258 to Number127 this past year!
Bruce– "The Boss" Springsteen has made a successful career out of Jersey Shore pride. Born in Long Branch, and growing up in Freehold Borough, he earned his nickname while playing at various clubs around what he would one day call "the great state of New Jersey," when he got in the habit of dividing and distributing up the nightly pay for his bandmates at the end of their gigs. Bruce is a Norman place-name famed by the Scottish king Robert the Bruce, who won Scotland's independence from England in the fourteenth century.
Edison, Jackson, and Harrison– the three male names (and NJ towns) that bear the stylish –son ending. Edison—renamed in his honor in the 1950s– was where Thomas Alva Edison invented the first phonograph and developed the incandescent lamp in the late 1800's in his Menlo Park laboratory. The town of Jackson, named for seventh president of the U.S. Andrew Jackson, is known for housing the tallest roller coaster in the world at Six Flags Great Adventure. Harrison may be best known as the first name of Indiana Jones actor Harrison Ford, but it's also a suburb of Newark.
Elizabeth– The town was founded in 1665 by English settlers, and named after the wife of Vice Admiral Sir George Carteret, first baronet and one of the original proprietors of the colony of New Jersey. During the Revolutionary War, Elizabeth was repeatedly attacked by British forces.
Ellis– Bet you didn't know that this name of the historic island that welcomed millions of immigrants to America belongs to New Jersey, not New York, according to a 1998 Supreme Court decision. Ellis, used today for both girls and boys, is a Welsh name meaning benevolent.
Giovanni– New Jersey was widely populated with tribes of the Lenape at the time Giovanni da Verrazzano (think Verrazano Bridge in NYC) explored the Jersey Shore and the Narrows in 1524. This Italian classic is a variation of John, and currently ranks Number119.
Hudson– The Hudson River, named for explorer Henry Hudson, separates New York and New Jersey. Now at Number 93 and climbing, Hudson is also a namesake of Hudson County, where the Lenape tribes practiced hunting, gathering, and agriculture in the 17th century.
Jovi– Bon Jovi's fourth album entitled New Jersey included number one singles "Bad Medicine" and "I'll Be There for You." Lead singer John Francis Bongiovi changed his name to be spelled phonetically before it became iconic. Used as both a male or female name (also spelled Jovie) this name can pay homage to one of the most famous rock bands of the 80's and 90's that started in Sayreville, NJ.
Laurel, Linden, and Lacey– Three lovely townships beginning with 'L'; Mount Laurel is perhaps most famous for being the town where suffragist Alice Paul was born. Linden is the name of a sturdy tree that can live for centuries and also a New Jersey suburb. And the feminine Lacey is the name of a beach township "down the shore."
Princeton– One of the oldest and arguably classiest towns in New Jersey, Princeton is the home of the state's Ivy League university, founded in 1746. Used as an English male name, it means "princely town."
Roselle– The female name that combines the favorites Rose and Elle is also a town in Union County, that's home to the first building ever to be lit by electricity.
Trenton– The capitol of New Jersey was the site of two battles, The Battles of Trenton during the American Revolutionary War, and oddly enough, The War of the Worlds, Orson Welles' fictional radio broadcast of 1938. More than 1,000 babies a year are being called Trenton.
Verona– 2008's Number1 place to live in New Jersey according to New Jersey Monthly magazine is also an Italian-inspired female name, most famous for being the scenic city where Shakespeare's Romeo laid eyes on Juliet.
Violet and Viola– Bet you didn't know that New Jersey's state flower is the viola sororia, commonly known as the blue violet. Along with the flowery connotation, Viola alludes to the rhythm of the musical instrument.

When it comes to health, the kitchen has got to be the most important room in the house. Which is exactly why the ongoing rumblings about possible carcinogens in non-stick pans have us ransacking our cabinets wondering what's good and what's evil.
To find out whether we're overreacting -- and exactly which pots and pans we should own -- we called on Alexandra Zissu, author of "The Conscious Kitchen."
According to Zissu, many non-stick pans are made with perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a likely carcinogen that leeches into our food when it's heated. Frighteningly, studies show that 9 out of 10 Americans have traces of PFOA in their bodies. Yikes, right?
While some argue that the levels are insignificant, and use of PFOAs is supposed to be phased out by 2015, Zissu recommends ditching your non-stick cookware in favor of these amazing non-toxic options. Seriously, they're all you need!
1. A Cast Iron Skillet
"Cast iron actually puts iron into your food, which is a good thing," says Zissu, who cooks in her grandmother's old skillet. They last forever (in fact non-stick qualities improve over time!), are relatively cheap (as low as $11 from Lodge Cast Iron if you can't snag one from granny's pantry), and can be used for anything from frying an egg to baking cornbread.
2. A Stainless Steel Pasta Pot
You may need two, a smaller one for soups and sauces and a larger one for boiling pasta. Don't forget to read labels: Pure stainless steel is fine (avoid anything that has an aluminum core) as is stainless steel with a copper base or core (provides better heat conduction, but is pricey).
3. A Dutch Oven. Brands such as Le Creuset sell enamel-coated cast iron dutch ovens, which Zissu calls the workhorse of the kitchen. "You can make soups, boil water, saute, and transfer them to the oven," says Zissu. And it doesn't hurt that they're pretty enough to keep on your stovetop 24/7. While dutch ovens are pricey, they're easy to clean and make you feel like a pro in the kitchen (perfectly even browning!). That, and the peace of mind, make it well worth the splurge, in our opinion.
Is the PFOA news enough to make you ditch your non-stick cookware?

What We Do and How It Works
What We Do and How It Works
We are all responsible for carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Large amounts come from fossil fuels used for travel, power and heating and from making the goods and services we all use. Individuals and organizations can offset their carbon emissions by supporting activities that have either reduced or no emissions, or that capture the gases released by others.
Carbon offsetting is a multinational, multibillion dollar market.
PopOffsets is simply the most cost-effective and environmentally beneficial way of offsetting greenhouse gas emissions.
So what is PopOffsets doing?
PopOffsets gives grants for projects providing family planning services. We share these funds between developed and developing countries. Industrialized countries have high emissions per capita, while developing countries have high birth rates and rising standards of living and emissions. Unwanted pregnancies must be reduced throughout the world.
The evidence is conclusive: the more slowly a country's population grows, the faster the nation develops economically. All development programmes will ultimately fail if human numbers keep rising indefinitely.
Why PopOffsets?
Many organizations provide carbon offset schemes. Offsetting carbon by building a hydroelectric dam and flooding a valley, for example, affects wildlife habitat and has other environmental impacts. Meanwhile population growth increases the demand for energy: it's lose - lose!
PopOffsets helps you to offset your footprint by helping others to avoid unplanned pregnancies with no environmental downside: it's win - win!
Incidentally, supporting PopOffsets also sends a strong message to decision-makers that it's time to address the population issue wisely, democratically and compassionately.

Don Quijote: The Real and the Imagined
Art Gallery Lobby Cases, Media and Public Affairs Building, 2nd Floor
November 16, 2005 - January 31, 2006
Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra, 1547 - 1616
Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra was most likely born in Alcala de Henares, a small culturally rich city, 21 miles north of Madrid around September 29, 1547. His literary career began in 1569 at the age of 22 when four of his poems appeared in a book written by his teacher and mentor, the priest and humanist, Juan Lopez de Hoyos. But in September of that year, Cervantes suddenly abandoned his literary vocation as he became a fugitive from justice, condemned to lose his right hand for having injured a man in a duel. He escaped to Rome and entered the service of the prominent aristocrat who, in 1570, would become a cardinal. In that year, Cervantes decided to join the army of the Holy League, an alliance led by Pope Pious V and Phillip II of Spain, who were fighting the Turks against their attempt to gain control of the Mediterranean. The most significant battle in this war for Cervantes was Lepanto, where he sustained an injury that permanently damaged his left hand earning him the nickname "el manco de Lepanto" (the one-armed man of Lepanto). On his voyage back to Spain, he was captured by Berber pirates who took him to Algiers where he was enslaved for more than 5 years. Fleeing his captors and finding his way back to Spain, in 1582 and again in 1590, Cervantes unsuccessfully petitioned Phillip II to allow him to take a post in the Indies. To earn a livelihood, Cervantes took on such jobs as supplier of foodstuffs for the Invincible Armada (1588), and tax collector in the Kingdom Granada (1594). In 1600, while living in Madrid and Toledo, he wrote the first draft of
El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha. (The Ingenious Nobleman don Quijote de la Mancha).
The novel is inerwoven with the rich, varied and often uncanny personal experiences of its author. For example, in Chapter XXXVII of the first part, don Quijote tells his squire, Sancho Panza, that there are two roads to achieve fame and fortune: one is by taking up the sword and the other is by taking up the pen. Cervantes' enormous and varied literary harvest include novels, poems, plays and essays, but the work that marks not only the pinnacle of his career, but has changed forever the way we conceive and read a literary text is
Don Quijote de la Mancha.
Don Quijote de la Mancha,
The novel
Don Quijote de la Mancha
is often referred to as the "book of books," because it not only centers on the fantasies of its main character who is turned upside down upon reading the novels of chivalry, but also because it centers on the power of literature itself. The novels that don Quijote so avidly reads and those literary texts which Cervantes examines are also the actual protagonists of the work. Before crossing the threshold into a world of his imagination, Alonso Quijano appeared to be no different from any other gentleman of his time; he was a mild-mannered conformist known for "not being able to hurt a fly." The
towards the "unreal" of don Quijote is prompted by his dissatisfaction with the life that he leads, and his attempt to find a more gratifying purpose, and a life that holds the illusion of a more optimistic future. What he encounters are extraordinary experiences, multiple disappointments, and the impossibility of returning to a past that has been forever lost.

The artist is a painter, printmaker, and sculptor who received art training in Seville and Madrid, Spain. He has lived in Washington, D.C. on and off since the late 1990s. His interest in creating form and structure embracing space is evident in both two- and three-dimensional formats, as he works in a variety of media. These are drawings and models for the project: "Don Quijote Deconstructed" some of which were included in the exhibition
Don Quijote: The Visible and the Invisible
in 2002 in the Luther W. Brady Art Gallery. The maquette for "Don Quijote Deconstructed" is a figurative work in which the form of Don Quijote is actually negative space, shaped by a unique configuration of planes, which change with the viewer's orientation to the model.
Other examples of Terreros' public sculpture exist in Spain. His work, "Shattered Column," a monumental piece cast in bronze and cor-ten steel, is installed on the Miguel de Unamuno campus of the University of Salamanca, Spain. In 2001, "Anvil" was installed in the Sculpture Park of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain. He had a one-person exhibition entitled "Desbaratados Nudos" ("Untied Knots") in 2003- 2004 at Orfila Gallery, Madrid. He received first prize in sculpture in Colmenar, Spain for a project concerning Don Quijote, and he participated in "Works on Paper," a group show of contemporary works of art on paper at Osuna Art, Bethesda, Maryland in February 2005.
The artist is interested in "Representing what I think, more than in modeling what I see." Through various abstract forms, such as knots, weavings, and cut-outs, he embraces the poetic inspiration of the human figure in environmental space.
The year 2005 marks the 400th anniversary of the publication of
Don Quijote de la Mancha
by Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra. The year also commemorates the centenary of Albert Einstein's "Annus Mirabilis." Our world has forever been impacted by the legacy of Cervantes and the brilliance of Einstein.
Don Quijote: The Real and the Imagined
Images and Ideas, Centennial Celebration of Einstein's Miraculous Year,
two concurrently running shows, are celebrations of the genius of creativity in the arts and the sciences. The
Don Quijote

Re "For Utah lawmakers, lots of demands, not a lot of money" (Tribune, Nov. 14):
Utah's legislative leaders say they are in a dilemma. They are being forced to deal with a looming Jan. 1, 2014, Obamacare mandate that requires the state to provide health insurance for employees of the state-operated liquor stores who work at least 30 hours a week.
Until now, these part-time workers have been denied the health insurance afforded other full-time state workers. Now, the state is considering cutting their hours to avoid the insurance requirement.
The state has chosen to be in the retail liquor business, and to apply the huge profits from its monopoly to worthwhile efforts, such as the school lunch program.
On my visits to these state-run stores, I have consistently found the employees to be hardworking, courteous and knowledgeable. It just seems reasonable that they should have access to affordable health care, as they work week by week to earn it.
In this situation, our "leaders" should just do the right thing.
