[quote:Sungaze_At_Dawn:MV8yMDA3NTU0XzMzODAxMTY5XzY1NThFOUVD] Also the information on ET's and Reptilians is simply NOT TRUE. http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message600249/pg1 This IS true and we're going to need to stand up firmly. We can't fight, if annanuki, or the return of Quetzcoatl occurs, but don't cave in. They can only harm your body suit. Be Love and tell them to make U-Turns, period. Like I do. They're NOT THE GOOD. They are the Elohim of the old testament. I've downloaded this book and its very good. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4MXLB6SwPg[/youtube] Notes from this video: To begin with Ruach is the word for God's Spirit in the translations in Genesis, but in reality, its a Sumar Word, and it means that something that causes wind on water, and they have a picture, its a craft. So he says this: [color=indigo]If you read last editions of the "Lexicon Recentis Latinitatis", published by the ":Liberia Editrice Vatican" where they insert the latin neologisms, you'll find that the Vatican inserted "navis sideralis", which means "starship" They inserted "areia navis", thus "airship", they inserted "aireus viator", that is "astronaut" and they inserted an acronym, "R.I.V" which means: res inexplicatae volantes", that is UFO's. [/color] Psalm 82. Elohim, AKA annanuki, AKA from cosmos, may live longer than we do, but this pslam (its even better and more clear in the literal translation) is about the Head Elohim, ie Captain Kirk, telling the crew, of differing polarities I take it, because Annanuki history is complex, the Humans there were also with the pleidians and other systems a part of The Equality, but some bad cloning with them and reptiles took place, creating a race of warriors who lacked empathy, and they were chased off this planet eventually. So the head hauncho told the others, You too are just as mortal as the Adams! (literal translation, we are the Adams), and reminded them, they answered to the Higher Realms/Power/God/Goodness too (and it wasn't him or he would have said, you answer to me). So he said NOT TO PROMOTE CORRUPTION AND HELP THOSE IN NEED SUCH AS WIDOWS AND ORPHANS. Yuppers! OH, the passages in the bible relating to cloudships, the base on Mount Sion, and even cigar shaped crafts. (zecharia 5) That odd flying scroll. Well in literal translation it also means CYLINDER, isn't it odd how they lie to us? He is credentialled. If you log into: http://www.worldcat.org/ Log in and use the search term Biglino. His works are in the US libraries. Yale has a collection of them and its not something a lesser scholar could do. Nothing to do with Sitchin but only acadameia is allowed: Giovanni Pettinato! Anyway there are definitely real annnauki some are tall humans, some Royal Zeta Retticuli and some are Reptilian Hybrids. THey are most literal in carnate form and actual preferred charred meat to the offer of vegetables. In space your skin sluffs off and burns, hence a comfortable smell to real cosmonauts. OH, and did these races come from deep space at that time? Or, in the past cycles, of people who were formed by the cosmic races, did we actually have CLONING and ANIMAL HUMAN CLONES LIKE REPTILIANS MADE BY THE NEGATIVE SCIENTISTS OF ATLANTIS SAY? OR JUST PREVIOUS TO THAT TIME, WHEN THEY TOOK OVER THE SCHOOL IN THE DAYS OF MU AND MARS? So our ETs could be past negative and positive human cycles before the GREAT FALL, the actual drama that led to it, by Earthlings. So much to consider. After all, ET IS COSMIC AND LOCAL ,Ie OTHER HUMANS FROM PAST CYCLES. [/quote]
Original Message
I can not tell you too much about myself, simply because it would easily identify me in the groups I belong.
What I can tell you is that I am an active member of several secret orders, beyond the mainstream regions of Freemasonry into the higher forms of the inner order of Illuminati.
And I have come here to reveal some of the secrets that I feel are of immense importance to all, as well as certain matters that should be for the benefit of everyone and not just us select few.
None of you know anything of what you think you know - not about us, the ones behind the curtains, nor about yourselves. You have been mislead and led astray since before your birth.
The complexity of it all is so vast that it will take time to detail it for you. Thus I will have to start somewhere, and I will come back to add when the occasion lets me. If time allows, I will also answer questions some may have, as long those questions do not incriminate me or reveal for those who knows me from the inside who I am.
Being here at all is risky enough as it is - take what I tell you for what it is and decide for yourselves what you want to do with the information, or whether I am telling you the truth or not.
Let me start with a short introduction of myself, to at least give you the bones without the meat.
My family have been involved with the secret orders as far back in time I have been able to look back in any of our records. I stepped right into the same as soon I was born.
We have close ties with many of the groups and orders most of you will have heard of - and even more of the ones you will never even find the name of. A lot of the Light shines in the Darkness.
The family I come from has a leadership role and a greater importance within these orders. This has given me an unique access to information, understanding, knowledge and greatly guarded secrets that very few are privileged to.
Being in such a position is very rewarding, and you would probably not even believe all the things we oversee and are witness to - not to mention what we experience and are involved with directly ourselves. A lot of it can't be mention, since doing so would endanger my anonymity.
The reason I have decided to come here to open the lid on the door a bit, is because of both the horrific discoveries I have made during my time on the inside, AS WELL as the WONDERFUL discoveries.
Truly a lot can be said, and probably will, but for now in my first attempt at letting you in on the secrets I must detail the utter most important parts.
First of all: You are IMMENSELY deceived. NOTHING is the way you think it is, and not even close to it either. Everything is a lie, and a great hoax put upon you. This includes your own LIFE, your IDENTITY.
Everything around you have been created and put in place to BLIND you from the truth. The Media, is there to deceive you and keep you away from understanding, your job is there to keep you busy and away from discovering your true self, your favorite hobbies and past-time activities have been designed to maintain your business beyond your job to further mislead you from reality, religion is there to hide the truth, technology, science, medicine, all there to derail you from the truth. The person you love, your own family, they are there to keep you away from the truth.
The very Earth under your feet is in place to keep you away from the Truth.
That all may sound preposterous - and I can see why, since it really does sound insane.
But nevertheless, this is the way it really is.
Now this does not mean you are not "real", or that the world, or those things you see around you are not "real". But it does mean that your reality, that which is your everyday, is part of a greater design, spun around you in all its splendor, to maintain you in a level of status quo - to keep you in your current state. Compare it to cows in a field - the field and the farm they live on are real enough, and the cows take it for granted as their everyday life, yet it is still in the end artificially created for the cows to keep them there, as the slaves of the farmer. It is truly a perfect analogy since it is pretty much identical to what is really going on.
In that sense, in YOUR reality, you are the "cows", and the "farmer" is, well, call it the Great Architect of the Universe.
You can also call it the Devil, or Satan - but do NOT call it God.
God did NOT create the World. God did NOT create you. It was a different entity, far from God, in biblical terms you could say it was the "Fallen Angel" mentioned above.
With this I quickly jump through tremendous parts of History, and skip all the important bits in between. We go back to our "present" and Secret Orders - since what I have just mentioned now is one of the MOST guarded secrets of these orders.
And, at the highest level of most orders of any significance this is a well known truth - a truth guarded because of many reasons in itself, but not necessarily for Evil as I will get to in my next post.
It relates to the Secret Orders due to us being in existence since BEFORE the time of the Creation of the illusious world you live within, and the Orders exist on Earth today as the channel that allows for the connection and communication with the Divine, and that which still exists far outside the Spheres of the physical Universe you now experience yourself in.
This is all something I will detail soon, when I have the time to come back to further share some of the secrets I feel must be shared.

Juris Doctor/Master of Arts (JD/MA)
The MA in Environmental Science and Policy (MA-ENV) is a flexible, coursework-based master's degree program that enables JD students to supplement their legal education with study of the environment. Depending on students' interests and prior training, the focus of the MA-ENV may range from topics more closely related to the natural sciences, such as ecosystem science and conservation, ecotoxicology and environmental health, and water resource management, to ones more closely related to the social sciences, such as environmental economics and policy. Students take their coursework alongside professional master's students in the Nicholas School of the Environment's Master of Environmental Management (MEM) program.
The MA-ENV is governed by the regulations of the Duke University Graduate School and is offered only as a dual degree with the JD. Applicants to the JD/MA-ENV program must file an application with the Duke Law School at law.duke.edu/admis. Applications are also reviewed by faculty in the Nicholas School, and admission is offered by the Law School and the Graduate School.
Program Requirements
Students admitted to the JD/MA-ENV program begin their studies in the summer and continue through the following six academic semesters. During that time they earn 72 units of credit in the Law School and 30 units in the Graduate School, of which at least 24 must be graded. The other 6 units can be ungraded research credits. Students take primarily law courses during their first year but should take at least one MA-ENV course (normally 3 credits) each semester as well. They take a higher proportion of MA-ENV courses during their second and third years, enough to satisfy the Graduate School requirement of 30 total units.
Courses taken to satisfy the Graduate School coursework requirement are normally professional master's courses offered by the Nicholas School. Coursework in the Nicholas School is organized around 7 specialized concentrations:
- Coastal Environmental Management (CEM)
- Ecosystem Science and Conservation (ESC)
- Energy and the Environment (EE)
- Environmental Economics and Policy (EEP)
- Ecotoxicology and Environmental Health (EEH)
- Global Environmental Change (GEC)
- Water Resource Management (WRM).
JD/MA-ENV students are required to select one of these concentrations as the focus of their MA-ENV coursework. Applicants can learn more about these concentrations by visiting the Master Of Environmental Management (MEM) - Residential page.
Each concentration has specific coursework requirements that students in the MEM program are required to complete. Although these requirements do not apply to the MA-ENV program, JD/MA-ENV students are encouraged to complete as many of them as possible in order to gain proficiency in their selected concentration.
All students admitted to the JD/MA-ENV program are assigned an academic advisor at the Nicholas School. Newly admitted students work with their Nicholas School advisor to design a coursework plan for the MA-ENV portion of the dual degree that matches their interests and, insofar as possible, satisfies the coursework requirements of their selected concentration. All courses must be at the graduate level unless otherwise approved by the Director of Graduate Studies.
MA-ENV students are required to pass a comprehensive, written exam during the final semester of their program. The scheduled exam should take place within the Graduate School deadlines for graduation found here: http://gradschool.duke.edu/academics/grad_deadlines.php. The exam is administered by a three-member faculty committee, including the student's advisor and at least one other member of the Nicholas School. The exam has an open-book, take-home format with three questions and must be completed within 48 hours. Students are responsible for obtaining the consent of faculty members to serve on their exam committees by the beginning of the semester in which they intend to graduate.
Additional requirements common to all dual JD/MA programs may be found at gradschool.duke.edu/academics/degree_reqs/dualdegrees/jd_ma.php.
There are no formal coursework prerequisites for admission to the JD/MA-ENV program. Master's-level courses offered by the Nicholas School are designed, however, for students who have satisfied the prerequisites of the MEM program, which include introductory college-level courses in calculus and statistics for all students and additional courses for specific concentrations (e.g., microeconomics for Coastal Environmental Management, Energy and the Environment, and Environmental Economics and Policy, and principles of ecology for Ecosystem Science and Conservation). Applicants can learn more about the prerequisites of the different concentrations online. MA-ENV applicants who have not satisfied these prerequisites may need to take remedial coursework before entering the program or during their first year.
Applicants who are uncertain about their qualifications to enter the program are encouraged to contact the assistant to the Director of Graduate Studies before applying at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Additional application requirement: personal statement
Applicants to the JD/MA-ENV program are required to submit a personal statement describing their prior experience and motivation for pursuing the MA-ENV. In the statement, applicants should also indicate their intended concentration and their qualifications for it (i.e., prior coursework or experience). Information on applicants' intended concentration is important not only for evaluating applications but also for assigning each student to a suitable Nicholas School faculty member who can serve as coursework advisor and exam committee chair.
Comparison to JD/MEM (Master of Environmental Management)
The Law School and the Nicholas School also offer a dual degree JD/MEM program, which more fully integrates students into the life of both schools. This program differs from the JD/MA-ENV program in several respects:
- the MA-ENV is an academic degree conferred by the Duke Graduate School, while the MEM is a professional degree conferred by the Nicholas School;
- the JD/MA-ENV program requires students to begin their studies in the summer and continue through the following six academic semesters, while the JD/MEM requires eight academic semesters but does not require a summer start;
- the capstone for the MA-ENV is a comprehensive written final exam, while the capstone for the MEM is an independent Master's Project;
- the MA-ENV portion of the JD/MA-ENV requires 30 units of credit, while the MEM portion of the JD/MEM requires 36 units of credit, which includes credits for the Master's Project.
Students who are interested in learning more about the MEM program should visit the Master Of Environmental Management (MEM) - Residential page.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ---- The UAB men's basketball team pulled within a basket with just over a minute to play, but Southern Miss hung on to defeat the Blazers, 79-75, on Saturday night at Bartow Arena.
UAB (9-13, 1-6 C-USA) had the Golden Eagles on the ropes in the second half, cutting what was one time a 12-point second half lead, down to two points, when Robert Williams buried a 3-pointer from the wing with 1:09 to play.
After USM (18-4, 7-0) built its lead back up to six on a Michael Craig basket and a pair of free throws from Neil Watson, Quincy Taylor buried the last of his career-high five 3-pointers, bringing the Blazers within three points with seven seconds left.
Jonathan Mills hit the back end of two free throws to put the Golden Eagles up four to claim the victory.
The duo of Jordan Swing and Taylor combined for 32 points off the bench. Swing finished with 17 on 6-of-12 shooting, while Taylor added a season-high 15 and dished out five assists.
Robert Williams chipped in with 14 points, six rebounds and four assists, while Fahro Alihodzic and Preston Purifoy added 12 and 10 points, respectively.
"I am really proud of my team," head coach Jerod Haase said. "UAB fans are very knowledgeable, and I think that they would say that they saw our team really competing hard tonight. Obviously tonight ended with a lost, but our effort was tremendous. We did a good job on offense getting good shots throughout the game. I thought that our defensive effort was there. Southern Miss really made a lot of plays offensively. It is going to be hard for anyone to beat them when they shoot 64 percent from the field."
The Blazers fell behind early when USM reeled off seven straight points capped by a Jerrold Brooks three to take an early 7-2 lead. Williams scored the next five points for UAB followed by a Purifoy three to close the deficit to two, 12-10.
The Golden Eagles responded with a 12-2 run highlighted by back-to-back treys by Neil Watson and Dwayne Davis.
Trailing by as many as 13 in the first half, Quincy Taylor drained a pair of 3-pointers late to bring the Blazers within seven points heading into halftime.
Watson scored the first 11 points for USM in the second half to push the Golden Eagles lead back out to double digits. After UAB had cut the USM lead to four, the Golden Eagles came back with seven straight to extend the lead to 56-45.
Jordan Swing hit two jumpers from behind the arc and the Blazers made eight straight from the free throw line to climb back to within four with six minutes remaining.
The Blazers stayed within striking distance the rest of the way as USM never held more than a six-point edge in the final six minutes of action. However, the Golden Eagles continued to make shots all night, finishing with a team shooting percentage of 63.8 (30-for-47) to pull out the victory.
USM was led by Watson's 24 points, going a perfect 7-for-7 from the field, including 6-of-6 from downtown.
Craig was a rebound shy of a double-double, finishing with 16 points and nine boards, while Brooks added 16 points of his own.
The Blazers forced 19 USM turnovers and went 17-for-21 at the foul line (81.0 percent).
UAB hits the road for its next game, heading to Tulsa, Okla. to take on the Golden Hurricane on Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. CT.

He's back. Just when AMP didn't need any more headaches, lawyers for Paul Batchelor have told the embattled financial services company that he intends to pursue legal action over his termination as chief executive in September last year.
The issue of Mr Batchelor's termination has been up in the air since March, when AMP hand-delivered a $1.4 million cheque to his Mosman home, net of $700,000 tax. AMP's chairman, Peter Willcox, effectively dared Mr Batchelor to take legal action if he felt he was worth more.
Now, AMP's 600-page demerger explanatory memorandum discloses on page 85 that Mr Batchelor "proposes to commence legal proceedings against AMP in relation to his employment in September 2002", although no proceedings have yet commenced.
Mr Batchelor, who was yesterday attending to his Hunter Valley winery, was not contactable.
There had been speculation that Mr Batchelor was hoping to collect as much as $18 million after he was replaced by Andrew Mohl last year at the height of the company's British capital problems, but no claim figure was mentioned in the memorandum.
Mr Batchelor indicated the $1.4 million sum paid to him by AMP was not enough, but this latest disclosure is confirmation for the first time that he will contest the matter.
The Australian Shareholders Association's Stephen Matthews said: "Considering what's come out since [he left], what sympathetic factors could he put on the table to argue he's entitled to more than his statutory entitlements?"
AMP said the amount of any claim would not be material, though given AMP is bracing for a $4 billion-plus annual loss, it would have to be very large indeed to be material in that context.
AMP finds itself again under pressure over $38 million in retention payments it will make to executives after the demerger is finalised and claims about salary cuts, which are modest in relation to the reduction of the size of the company.
Mr Mohl will get a $2.25 million retention payment, despite calling a 10 per cent cut to his base salary and cuts to incentives "unprecedented in Australian corporate history".
"[AMP chairman Peter] Willcox will certainly have to justify the quantum at the extraordinary general meeting on December 9," Mr Matthews said of the payments.
Mr Mohl's package under a new five-year contract will enable him to earn as much as $6.09 million. His overall reduction in salary is as much as 28 per cent. Board directors' fees are falling by 10 per cent to $108,000 each and Mr Willcox's fees will drop 23 per cent to $324,000.

Violent criminal offenses are the most severe crimes that can be committed. Due to the harmful characteristics of violent crimes (assault, rape, murder, kidnapping, and much more) prison sentences are extreme, and may even lead to the death penalty of the convicted individual.
The only real answer is to seek out an experienced team of Knoxville criminal defense attorneys, ones who can protect your rights and future by keeping you from going to prison, or worse, the death penalty being imposed upon you.
Defining Violent Crimes Legally
A violent criminal offense is described as an action or threat of violence upon another. Violent crimes can happen as the initial intent of the charged — for instance a murder or forcible rape — or perhaps as the means to an end, such as an attack during a robbery.
Below are just a few of the violent crimes we defend:
- Domestic violence, or violence between or toward a cohabitant or spouse
- Theft
- Robbery
- Assault (sexual, aggravated or simple), which will depend upon severity of injuries, intent of the assailant and whether a deadly weapon was used
- Kidnapping
- Forcible rape
- Murder
- Manslaughter, a lesser sentence of murder, usually when accidental or when not premeditated
We Have A Private Investigator On Staff
You won't need to depend upon the law enforcement report to build your defense when you hire The Garza Law Firm PLLC to represent you. You will not only benefit from having an experienced criminal defense attorney in your corner, you will also reap the benefits of our numerous legal resources. We will conduct our own investigation using our own criminal investigator, which will add vigor to your case during trial.
Our firm also has valuable connections with other experts. By utilizing specialized evidence-gathering methods, our team is able to analyze all the facts independently and develop a strong defense for you.

The criminal defense lawyers at the Garza Law Firm PLLC have devoted their careers to protecting the rights and futures of Tennessee residents. Through our extensive experience in criminal law, in Tennessee particularly, our staff is aware of exactly what is necessary to prove your innocence.

Read how one school district went from using six learning management systems to just one!
The schools within DeKalb County School District (DCSD) enjoy a great deal of autonomy in the way they use instructional technology. But one consequence of that freedom was the existence of six learning management systems (LMSs) across the district, which meant that accessing courses, delivering curriculum updates and retrieving student data was a time-consuming and inefficient process for content area coordinators and other district-level personnel.
They resolved to switch to one standardized LMS platform district-wide to streamline instructional and workflow processes as well as:
• Manage, organize, and update their curriculum
• Serve as part of the district blended instruction model for early adopter teacher group
• Support district's device-agnostic infrastructure and cloud-based applications

Some make the mistake of claiming that the misleadingly labelled grand final ''replay'' presents the opportunity for revenge, when the diminished stakes mean there can be no such satisfaction. But the return clash can provide some measure of how teams have rebounded from the euphoria of victory and the disappointment of defeat.
On the evidence of a tight, sometimes enthralling encounter between the Storm and the Bulldogs, Melbourne have done so exceptionally. Well enough, on the back of a thrilling victory, to yet again make the robust start that will fortify them against the abundant distractions a star-studded line-up endures during the representative season.
Having resisted an unexpected revival by the Bulldogs who laid siege to their line in the dying minutes, the only concern for the Storm was the contentious report of champion fullback Billy Slater early in the second half in an incident that brought a physical edge to what had been a largely tactical battle. Whether Slater was already in the air when he took a high ball, or whether he deliberately put his boot into the throat of young Bulldogs forward David Klemmer will be the source of some debate. Particularly if Slater is convicted of what the replay suggested was a most unlikely offence.
Suffice to say Slater, the man allegedly bitten by another Dogs' forward James Graham in last year's grand final, can find trouble against Canterbury. For their part, the Bulldogs found the try line soon after Slater's flying foot. Josh Reynolds' chip to Sam Perrett reduced a 10-0 half-time deficit to 10-6, and suddenly enlivened a game the Storm had controlled.
If Slater's flying kick was unusual, the game's other contentious moment was more orthodox. A try by Cronk disallowed for obstruction. But Matt Duffie's spectacular take from Cronk's chip meant Melbourne got their game-clinching try, and a well-deserved two points.
But if the Bulldogs were outplayed, they were certainly not embarrassed. Their second fling was even more meritorious given they were missing star fullback Ben Barba and forwards Frank Pritchard, Sam Kasiano and Graham from last year's grand final line-up.
Oddly, the Dogs had not scored a point in the second half of their past three games, including the grand final. They erased that grim statistic with three second half tries - the last by halfback Kris Keating, with five minutes left, even raising hopes of a miraculous victory given they had trailed by 10 points with just five minutes on the clock. Instead, there was the frustration of a brave defeat.
That was characteristic of the admirable determination the Bulldogs showed not to allow early-season distractions, and talented absentees, undermine them. Sufficient, you would imagine, to conquer all but the Storm's potent blend of talent and organisation. Something that led to a scoreboard that did not quite reflect the contest.
There was no score in last year's grand final after the 39th minute. As that arm wrestle continued into Thursday night's game, the question became not who would score, but if anyone would.
The early rounds have been characterised by teams playing with strength, but no adventure. This time, however, the stalemate was mostly a case of tight defence and a mutual respect that militated against risk-taking.
When both sides did find a spark, ball-handling errors or terrific cover defence snuffed out the flame. Not least by Bulldogs fullback Drury Low, looked like a genuine replacement for Barba. Not some starstruck understudy struggling to remember his lines.
In that regard, the Storm's first try was almost embarrassingly simple. Cooper Cronk putting Ryan Hinchcliffe into a gaping hole on 21 minutes to romp across the line. Amazing space in a game that would not open up until the second half.
For all that, Bulldogs return from the game's most difficult assignment with a 1-2 record knowing, yet knowing - not simply hoping - there are better nights to come. Most obviously, there is the imminent return of Barba - perhaps as soon as next Friday's match against Souths - that should keep the Dogs head high despite the scoreline.

I've had Suzette on the brain for a few days now... I've never heard of a dog with that name, so I think it's fair game. I think it's got a lot of spunk. It's probably not one I love enough to use on a real daughter, but theoretically I love it. And I love Suzy, so cute. I always loved Susie Q... and I'd be really tempted to make her middle initial be Q. I also love Susannah (with or without the H). Oh, and Zuzu! I didn't even realize that could be a nickname for these names, love that!Proud mama to two sweet boys:

Here's another leafy green vegetable that is good for you--kale. If it weren't for my in-laws, I might not have thought much about kale. It took me over 35 years to happily eat spinach. My father-in-law enjoys kale, and it's good for him too, considering the cholesterol-lowering benefits you get from steaming it. In 1996, he had a quadruple bypass, so a huge diet change followed.
According to The World's Healthiest Foods, this leafy green has also been shown to lower the risk of five different types of cancer, and kale's glucosinolates can help regulate detox at a genetic level. They say kale is one of the healthiest vegetables around.
While steaming is the best way to cook kale, I thought this sauteed kale recipe from Bobby Flay found on Foodnetwork.com sounded good.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
1 1/2 pounds young kale, stems and leaves coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely sliced
1/2 cup vegetable stock or water
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until soft, but not colored. Raise heat to high, add the stock and kale and toss to combine. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove cover and continue to cook, stirring until all the liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add vinegar.

Andy Roddick Doesn't Manscape For Brooklyn Decker
Tennis hottie Andy Roddick has admitted that his personal style isn't very high maintenance and that his personal grooming is even less so.
"There's really no routine. I shave once every ten days. No manscaping
for me — I'm not one for that," said Roddick.
The 27-year-old was recently promoting the new Lacoste Challenge fragrance at Macy's last weekend and while People magazine has called him the Sexiest Athlete, his wife isn't too shabby herself. If you recall, his wife is Brooklyn Decker – a Victoria's Secret model and Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition covergirl.
Andy is getting focused on tennis again and was spotted yesterday with his wife celebrating his 28th birthday in Downtown Manhattan!

I've never understood the whole static hellaflush stanced out crowd (mostly vdub kids, not many m3's in that bunch) spend $3000 on brand name coils just to slammmm and camber their car to the point of ruination... They should be the ones buying $500 coilovers! haha
That being said I understand where the OP is coming from. I originally cheaped out some still decent FK coils with koni struts for like $1,200 when i first bought my M. They were quality, lowered the car a bit, handled a little bit better which at first was perfectly fine. Eventually I wanted more out of the car with a serious interest in chassis setup and handling so I sold those and bought a custom Ground Control setup for only like $2,000. The setups were night and day difference for only $800 more.
So here's my point... if these cheaper coils are doing it for you then enjoy them! A year from now if you want more out of the car and have the cash just buy something better (worth the cash, trust me!) Hell you could probably sell those for almost as much as you paid for them so don't worry about losing out much either.

MFT Problems: My Experience
I empathize with those having serious MFT problems, but maybe I'm just lucky. Although there are intermittent bugs, overall, since the 2.11 update, MFT works very well for me. I have an iPhone 4S with IOS 5 and both the USB connection and the Bluetooth streaming work fine. I get in the car and my iPhone is connected as a phone almost instantly while the Bluetooth connection takes a minute or two. My Audible audiobook starts playing automatically. So I'd have to say that not all "common problems" are common to everyone.
Now even my MFT is not perfect. It hasn't frozen or rebooted even once since I had the dealer install 2.11 almost 2 months ago, but there is the occasional flaw. For instance, when I got in the car to go to church this morning, the phone and bluetooth connected fine and I listened to my audiobook. But...when I got in the car after church, my iPhone connected as a phone instantly, but only half connected to bluetooth. I say "half" because it "looked" like it was connected, but the audio wouldn't play. The next time I get in the car it will most assuredly be ok again.
Sorry for the lengthy post, but hope it's helpful to someone.

|Kofu recently finished restoring the Inari Yagura and Yamanote Gomon gate. The gate is across the opposite side of the train station and tracks so make sure you don't miss it. When the weather is good the top of the castle offers nice views of the surrounding mountains too.
|Kofu Castle was built by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1583 after he defeated Takeda shingen's heir, Katsuyori, in 1582. Next to Edo Castle, Kofu Castle was the strongest castle in the Kanto region. Until Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu became lord of Kofu Castle, it was also considered to be the residence of the lord closest to the shogun. From 1724 to the end of the Edo Period, the lord of Kofu Castle changed on a rotating basis with around 200 lords having held the title by the end of Edo Period. I have seen reference in some English materials/websites mistakenly claiming that this Kofu Castle (Maizuru Castle) was run by the Takeda. While Kofu was a castle town of the Takeda they actually ruled from the Tsutsujigasaki Yakata.

Maizuru Castle is fairly large with many reconstructed gates: Kuroganemon, Inarikuruwamon, Kajikuruwamon, Uchimatsukagemon, Yamanotemon. There is also a reconstructed turret, Inari-yagura, and a large dōjo building, Butokuden, which is possibly styled on the Go'ten (castle palace).

I revisited this castle in mid-August. It's been four years since my previous visit, and in that time they have finished the Kuroganemon. Like Kanazawa Castle, the people that manage this castle ruin seem to be regularly adding new reconstructions. My wife got her 100 Meijo Stamp, and unlike four years ago, they now have a free fold-out brochure about the castle, its history, a 3-D map of the castle grounds, the recontructed structures and methods used to rebuild them, and work to preserve the stone walls. This folds out to four A4 pages and is worth picking up as it is made from quality paper and in colour.

I visited Kofu last summer (2014) and stayed at the hotel just next to it (Sunpark Hotel Naito). From my room I had a very good view of the castle and the land around it. I enjoy this castle the most. There were not many people there and it was easy to get around and enjoy it. There was a tour guide that spoke only Japanese who insisted to give me a tour. Mind you I don't speak very good Japanese so I understood about 10% of what he said. For about 40 minutes he told me everything he knew about the castle and pointed out all kinds of things. I spent well over 4 or 5 hours there and admired the work they had done to bring it back. The train station in the middle of the castle made me kind of sad but it was the merging of two very different times in Japan and in a way kind of lovely. I plan to go back again.

I revisted this site today. I was woried by the weather, but after a rainy morning it was very sunny and warm. I leisurely visited the site. I took more than 120 photos(i think my record on one site) and i really enjoyed the reconstructed parts. For info one of the kuroganemon of the honmaru has been reconstructed. It was finished last year. It would be nice if one day the complete castle should be reconstructed, but the railroad-tracks would be in the way.

I'm originally from the north east of England and currently living in Kofu. Kofu castle reminds me very much of Berwick castle. Why? The stupid victorians/meiji era folk knocked the bloody thing down so they could build a train station in the middle of it. On the north side of of kofu station is a small reconstructed gate with a tiny museum on top. South west of Kofu station is the castle park, the walls and the moat are all there and look good and the basic layout of the castle exists. Building wise though there's only a small donjon. I'd love it if they were to reconstruct Kofu castle, it would look magnificent but it isn't to happen and for the time being Kofu castle is nothing more than a park. A quite decent park, particularly in sakura season, but nothing worth going out of your way (which Kofu almost certainly is) for.

I talked with a staff member in the reconstructed Yamanote Gate (rebuilt in 2007.) He told me that most of the gate was built with red pine (akamatsu in Japanese) while some of the broad supporting beams were sourced from another type of tree. Those beams were from trees that were around 1,000 years old. All the wood was sourced from within Japan, and the pine was sourced from within Yamanashi Prefecture. If you go to the Yamanote Gate, they will play a complete video for you lasting 26 minutes. You don't have to watch the whole thing. The guy there said that I could stop watching it whenever I want. The whole video is in Japanese, but parts of it are pretty interesting about the construction and history of the castle. Kofu Castle has plenty of ishigaki, and it reminds me a little bit of Marugame Castle, where practically the whole hill is encased in stone blocks. They are doing some renovation on part of the ishigaki, so one of the access routes to the honmaru is blocked off. This is a nice castle ruin for castle fans. I gave it three stars because it has a reconstructed turret, a masugata-style gate, lots of reconstructed smaller gates, and plenty of ishigaki. Both the turret and the Yamanote Gate are reconstructed using wood.

It was a bit early for the Autumn leaves but the grounds were still nice. There was some construction work going on around the honmaru and the Inari yagura. The 100meijo stamp is located in the Onshirin Memorail Hall, and supposedly Inari yagura but the office was closed when I was there. Full marks for comprehensive, bilingual signposts; other than that not as exciting as the other side of the station.

Last april i stayed at Kofu for 2 weeks. I went there to attend at the Shingenko-matsuri. From Kofu i went, with the train, every day, to other locations. I had a room in the Toyoko-inn Kofu Ekimae hotel(see faq on this site). Just what i looked after: a bed and a bathroom. On arrival i visited the Yamanote Gomon and the Castle park. The reconstucted towers are very nice. In both you'll find a little museum, with some interesting pieces. The castle park is very beautiful, especially with the sakura in bloom. From a lot of spots one will have a nice view of the Fujisan. You can easily go from the Yamanote Gomon to the Castlepark, using a bridge, which crosses the railroadtracks. The park is used for several contests during the Shingenko-matsuri.

This is the season for small town festivals all around northeast Missouri and western Illinois. All the communities that stage such get togethers do a fine job.
St. Peter's Parish Picnic is coming up on Saturday, August 29 in Quincy, and will feature live music from Madd Hoss Jackson.
The 2015 Brown County Fair in Mt. Sterling, Illinois begins Tuesday, August 4 and runs through Sunday, August 9. Madd Hoss Jackson is among the bands that will entertain fair goers this year.
The Hannibal Jaycees have sent us the official guide to the 60th annual National Tom Sawyer Days! This booklet provides information on everything for this year's celebration, including times and locations for the popular annual events, and live entertainment like the Jon Pardi concert at Tanyard Gardens.
Madd Hoss Jackson will be headlining their own night at National Tom Sawyer Days this year, and as the video evidence shows, the band has come a long way over the years to get to where they are now.
Concerts are scheduled for several country stars in the month of July, like Luke Bryan, Joe Nichols, the Eli Young Band, and, of course, Jon Pardi at National Tom Sawyer Days...
The 2015 edition of the "Music With a Mission" concert has come and gone, but the residual effects for those benefiting from the show will go on.

today for the first time i am obliged to clean up comments. as an advocate of free speech, i don't want to censor comments. but there isn't any choice, with a crowd like the LGFers.
it's as if you had a party and one of the guests started to throw liquor on the other guests or scream uncontrollably. or wildly start groping somebody else's girlfriend.
uncoy.com is a place for civilized debate and conversation. no screaming or throwing liquor allowed. your opinions are welcome. histrionics and violence are not.
with the LGFers it goes farther. charles johnson has assembled one of the most unruly and unpleasant mobs since nero.
it may be a virtual mob – thank heavens we do not need to smell, taste or see your horde – but is no less a mob.
charles johnson for some reason prefers to call his mob, lizards rather than trolls. the distinction is lost on me:
Call on the LGF Clue Phone™ for Mr. Yglesias: lizards are not trolls, and trolls are not lizards….Thanks to all lizardoid minions (and regular folks too) who expressed support for me and LGF. You guys are a very smart bunch, and you should be proud of the way you acquitted yourselves, there and in the recent altercation at Winds of Change.
it seems this is an organised band determined to subvert open debate and throught their clamour and violence. vandalism (?). in short, brownshirt tactics.
i understand that these are serious charges, but charles johnson has been guiding and shaping these assaults on the mild-mannered and sincere matthew yglesias, who is a guy who even has the courage to admit his own mistakes.
yglesias's characterization of charles is spot on.
The true genius of LGF, however, can only be discovered by browing through the pre-9/11 bits of the archives — mild-mannered tech blogger suddenly driven mad by terrorist attack. A tragedy for the internet age.
i even remember visiting the LGF weblog in distant times for information on web design on a mac.
neil at tacitus has documented another three cases of brownshirt tactics on the part of charles johnson and his mob.
those who encourage brownshirts should not forget the fate of ernst roehm.
justice, civility, equality before the law, due process. all have been easily disposed of in the last few years.
whatever values of democracy charles purports to attach himself to have long since been subverted by the patriot acts one and two, guatanomo bay, flouting of the geneva convetion, WMD and the unilateral invasion of a sovereign nation. to mention just a few things in passing.
what do these people want? clean your own house first.
gradually the lizard reference begins to make sense.
there are now not one but two weblogs devoted entirely to the invective and misdeeds of LGF, as the LGF quiz blog puts it:
Let me suggest the following: If you've got at least two websites, apparently owned by different people, whose expressed purpose is to watch your every move and report on alleged racism, bigotry, and/or prejudice on your blog, you've got a public relations problem. A serious public relations problem.
it's not just the left. as well as tacitus, others on the same side of the political street as charles johnson are equally disgusted with the LGF brownshirts.
§ 19 Responses to "LGF and LGFers | trolls and lizards | brownshirts and nero's mob | fate of ernst roehm"
What's really odd about the hate-on they have for Tacitus, is that Tacitus is, broadly speaking, one of them. In other words, a conservative pro-war blogger.
But because he had the temerity to criticize Charles Johnson, he became anathema.
I don't think Tacitus is a conservative pro-war blogger of the 'anti-idiotarian' kind, the way CFJ is. On Tacitus you're quite likely to find some intelligent commentary and analysis, rather than just one endless ream of hate-filled postings by people who delight in other people's misery.
Quite a party the three of you are having.
I'm sure it is a first for you to have to clean up comments. You'd have to get comments to clean them up. Out of 10 posts on your main page, 6 of them have no comments at all. The majority of the rest seem to be less than impressed with your intellectual acumen, if you get my drift.
There seems to be quite a cottage industry in bashing Charles Johnson. Unite, ankle biters! If you all hold hands and scream your very loudest, someone who matters might actually notice that you exist.
If a tree falls in the forest, and no one hears it, is CJ still a Nazi?
so this is the new rhetorical trope of the LGFers. i've seen it on a number of other weblogs.
"we are more numerous and thus your opinions are worthless."
well it certainly beats struggling to think of a coherent answer.
mob psychology at its worst. my comments stand as printed above.
i find it darkly amusing that LGF and LGFer are synonyms for hatred, bigotry and cruelty. all across the web. left and right.
i will never forget a much earlier excursion into LGF where i had the pleasure of reading such comments as "nuke baghdad" and phrases like "muslim scum".
i didn't know then that charles lets comments like that stand but censors down anyone who dares put forward notions of tolerance and humanity and compassion.
not that anyone with those values would be likely frequent LGF at this point.
Charles censors repeated trolling and LGF bashing and very occasionally deletes the most offensive posts. I've often posted balancing or critical remarks, never had any trouble. If anyone here's been banned could you please link to precisely where you posted, for the record?
The arguments here lump everyone together, that's the reason 20,000 + unique visitors per day is relevant. If you have a rational view and don't go in too headstrong I'm pretty sure you'll be tolerated if unloved. Or just go on with your conference call, if you think it's worth it. My points on a thread here went unanswered, another reason it's good to have company.
dom, your questions have been answered at length now. please check that thread. thanks for all your posts.
i've personally seen suggestions of nuking and carpet bombing iraq on LGF more than once.
so the censorship only seems to operate in one direction. if bashing LGF is more offensive than the idea of h-bombing another country, then there is something profoundly askew in the universe.
charles's handling of rachel corrie's sacrifice i find deeply offensive. this is a young lady – an idealist perhaps – who gave up her life to try to stop conflict in a distant land.
she had no weapon, she fought no battles, she simply bore witness. and the IGF just bulldozed her. literally. it was no accident.
that charles could applaud this cold-blooded murder and heap scorn on the young american idealist boggles my mind.
read rachel's comments from this last entry. i think she makes the palestinian case very well. strange that charles cites it, as his chill disdain paints a most unflattering portrait of arrogance and cruelty. sadistic even.
he verily seems to gloat over the flag burning pictures. if you or i had seen what rachel corrie had seen done by the IDF in palestine with american support – moral, financial and military – we might burn a flag or two.
as a means of protest it certainly beats bombing civilians.
"charles's handling of rachel corrie's sacrifice i find deeply offensive. this is a young lady – an idealist perhaps – who gave up her life to try to stop conflict in a distant land."
You are cornier, less creative and as moronic as all the Bush fans at LGF. No wonder nobody pays any attention to you. You may be right about CJ being something of a tyranical jerk, but you are worse: a total bore. Why even bother with this sort of stuff?
i'm sorry that the fate of rachel corrie – whose untimely demise was symbolic of the absence of a desire for peace on the part of the israeli estabilishment – is of no interest to you.
i'm sure comments like "nuke baghdad" leave you indifferent as well.
perhaps discussion of robot armies and african legions may be more to your taste. if not, hélas, our dalliance is at an end.
"i'm sorry that the fate of rachel corrie – whose untimely demise was symbolic of the absence of a desire for peace on the part of the israeli estabilishment – is of no interest to you.
i'm sure comments like "nuke baghdad" leave you indifferent as well."
No, I think you miss my point: neither corrie's death nor the idea of nuking baghdad are very useful to understanding the Israel-Palestine conflict. Both are rhetorical crutches used by self-righteous bigots with little sense of historical context. However, if you are simply looking for a "symbol" may I suggest a swastika.
sticks and stones. and what is your point exactly?
I have already mentioned that you missed my point:
"Both are rhetorical crutches used by self-righteous bigots with little sense of historical context."
That is my point. If you want to argue against that point, here let me repeat my point again:
"Both are rhetorical crutches used by self-righteous bigots with little sense of historical context."
Nowhere did I use verbal "sticks and stones" to insult you at a personal level.
which historical context do we want to talk about? the last forty years – after the israelis had already taken the palestinians home from them. or the context of the twenties and thirties while the zionists were gradually expropriating and preparing to chase out the palestinians? or the last 500 while the palestinians were living quietly on their small territory as an appendage to various empires. or 2000 years ago when a people – for the most part some people not necessarily with much ethnic relation to the current israelis – called the jews had sway over these lands.
or some time in between.
tell me – just what historical context suits you? tell me just what historical context justifies the gradual crucifixion of the palestinian people now?
for that matter, what historical context justifies americans in baghdad?
as i have asked you three times now…
what is your point?
Alec, I think I'm going to stop arguing with you because frankly I'm starting to think that you just aren't too smart. My original point had something to with the tendency for extremist ideologies from both sides to associate with rhetorical strategies that I personally find to be knee-jerk and counter productive to the goal of establishing meaningful discourse on this subject that we both seem to feel so passionate about.
"Gradual crucifixion"!!! BTW, your "history" left out certain events and dynamics…things that don't suit your idea of Palestinians as helpless "martyrs" (tee-hee)…but like I said, I quit.
See you at shul! Maybe we can discuss why those rascally Jews are responsible for the mess in Baghdad. And cheer up! Whenever you feel angry, just remember your trust fund.
"or 2000 years ago when a people – for the most part some people not necessarily with much ethnic relation to the current israelis – called the jews had sway over these lands."
Oh I can't resist. Why this preoccupation with "ethnic relation"? My God! You're not talking about race are you!? Do you want to maintain the ethnic purity of the Middle East? That sounds a little strange coming from someone with ideas as progressive as your own. Who exactly are these people "called the jews" that you talk about? Alec, man you crack me up.
2000 years ago? Do you think the Jews started with Mel Gibson or something?
we were talking about historical context. at that point these questions become relevant when discussing a claimed 2000 year old homeland, while turfing out those who have been peacefully settled there for much of the intervening time.
in the meantime, i would suggest that we are on the classic lawyer's tactic here – advance little, niggle much.
above applies here to you. singular.
except we add the gratuitous ad hominem attack. iced with irrelevance and false information.
in any case, if the pharisees blew it 2000 years ago – and based on existing historical records they didn't – the NYT wasn't going to miss the mark this time.
in these more worldly times, poor mel hasn't had to perish to reap his heavenly reward.
but the best slings and arrows money could buy were expended to make his outrageous fortune.
hubris. the classic sin. did in the greeks. in line to do in others for the Nth time.
far better to live in peace and lend a hand to one's fellow man.
no people are chosen. and when cut all men's blood bleeds red.
"hubris. the classic sin. did in the greeks. in line to do in others for the Nth time."
Alec, the lack of clarity in your writing could lead one to believe that you are looking forward to, if not advocating, some kind of deserved "holocaust" for certain "chosen people". What would all your Jewish friends at the ballet think about this?
[…] at the moral cesspool of Little Green Footballs, the rhetoric is incredible. Here is a contribution from longtime LGFer […]

anybody ever had a problem with massive speed?
hey guys just wondering if anybody has ever had a problem with massive speed system. every time i order from there it take very long. the first thing i ordered from there got lost, the next set took 3 weeks. and im still waiting for a header. i ordered it on january 16. ive sent emails and called but he just keeps giving me random days. ie oh ya it should be there next tuesday. so that week goes by i call again and get the same thing ya it should be there nex week. what the hell are these guys just bad with shipping or what?
did they give you a tracking number? I've never ordered from them...
it might have to deal with you living in canada
massive speed has been well for me. no problems yet but i get on their ebay store though and order parts. all i have bought from there were 9mm spark plug cables and got 4 copper core motorcraft spark plugs. got em in a timely manner.
i know when i shipped my packages to canada they said it could take 10-15 days for a package just to clear customs..so be patient. it could be a 3 week adventure or longer just to get your stuff..
ive never had an issue with em, ive also been to their shop a few times, all good guys, i usually get my stuff withing a few days, but some of their items they dont keep in stock, so they have to order it from their vendors, which takes some time, so just be patient
I've ordered from them and everything has arrived quickly. No problems at all.
well this sucks. he should be able to find out were is is no? if so why doesnt he just tell me and not give me the run around? needless to say this will be my last order from them. by the way ive ordered from other places in the states( c.f.m, ebay.....) and never had a problem always got here within a week and with a tracking #. but not with massive
Sorry didn't order from massive speed, but I know fricken summitracing takes there sweet time to deliver on small item from my last focus (Which was an Accel coil pack SPI); I paid for overnight shipping and it took like 10 days to get to my house, and I never order from there again.

Born in 1960, Anderson grew up in Burnaby, British Columbia with another future star who would one day grab headlines, actor Michael J. Fox. Anderson was an active kid but didn't immediately warm to hockey. "When I first started playing hockey, I hated it. I hated getting up at six o'clock in the morning to go to the rink," Anderson said. "I skated with my ankles turned in and everybody else skated the other way. The first goal I ever scored was in my own net."
Anderson was selected 69th by the Edmonton Oilers in the draft of 1979. His objective, however, was not the NHL but the Olympics. He dreamed of gold medals, and he preferred to use his developing skills in the sport as a key to seeing the world. He joined the Canadian national team and travelled with the team throughout Europe and Asia to prepare for the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, New York. Anderson had four points in six contests at the Games, but he and the Canadian team were forced to watch the thrilling final, the Miracle on Ice for the Americans, from the stands.
Anderson's play remained steady on the ice and he had 22 points in 22 playoff games when the Oilers won the Cup in 1990. Two years later he was involved in a blockbuster trade that saw some of the last pieces of the Oiler dynasty, himself and goalie Grant Fuhr, moved to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Anderson became one of the Leafs top scorers and once again was a playoff leader as Toronto made it to within one game of the Cup finals in 1993.
Anderson's approach to the sport was ideologically different than that of many of his peers. More European in outlook, he never missed a chance to play in international competitions. He did suit up for over sixty games over two years, from 1994 through 1996, with the St. Louis Blues and Edmonton Oilers, but in each instance he left quickly.
After playing in the 1980 Olympics and the World Championships in 89' and 92', Anderson ended his career in Europe, playing in Germany, Finland, Italy and Switzerland before retiring. Throughout his NHL career, Glenn Anderson played over 1,000 games scoring 498 goals and 1,099 points.

Microsoft Detects New Malware 'Rimecud'
Microsoft recently announced its January 2010 Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary during the 2nd week of January 2010.
In the report, it has been said that Win32/Rimecud is the top malware item added to the Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) during 2010.
But this malware is featured with the same characteristics as that of a virus group called Wind32/Hamweq included into MSRT during December 2009.
Marian Radu, Virus Researcher at Microsoft, states that both Win32/Rimecud and Win32/Hamweq might have originated from a common "father." This speculation, according to the researcher, is based on the common features the two worms display, as reported by Softpedia on January 13, 2010.
Radu further states that Win32/Rimecud disseminates through P2P networks, removable and fixed drives and instant messaging applications. Just like Hamweq, it also acts like a backdoor which gives its controller remote access to the infected computer. However, in comparison to Hamweq, the backdoor in Rimecud supports many more varied and advanced commands, allowing greater control to the remote hacker over the hijacked system.
Furthermore, Win32/Rimecud utilizes diverse types of obfuscated codes. These, crafted with the C/C++/Delphi/Visual Basic language, normally are able to detect the virtual environment as well as employ anti-emulation tricks. Consequently, it becomes harder to spot the malware, said the security researchers at Microsoft.
Moreover, Rimecud is similar to Hamweq in several other ways. It utilizes the Recycle Bin to drop its own copies while maligning the explorer.exe process with an obfuscated code.
The Microsoft researchers underscoring the threats from computer viruses and malware purveyors suggested that users should install competent like anti-spyware and anti-virus software in order to ward off hackers. According to them, anti-spyware programs block and remove spyware i.e. malware, which gathers data from the infected computer, while anti-virus programs spot, block and eliminate PC viruses, trojans and worms.
In addition, the Microsoft security specialists recommended that end-users should maintain automatic updates of different software on their systems and should run a firewall. They should utilize a recently-upgraded browser along with up-to-date solutions of security software so that malicious acts of hackers and malware distributors could be thwarted.
