Who wrote these documents, and where did the authors came from? It is exasperating to delve into this material with no concrete idea of its human origin in cultural, historical, or geographic terms.
Even assuming that the Egyptian
codices are translations of "original writings" by Gnostics who
belonged to cults scattered around Egypt and the Near East, we are
left in bafflement as to where the Gnostic movement originated in
the first place.
This being so, my educated guess is probably as good as anyone's: I'd say the "originals" were rough notes taken by students in the Mystery Schools, or what remained of them. The notes may have been translated into Coptic — in my opinion, a form of scribal shorthand or stenography, rather than a genuine language — as a writing exercise for the scribes, rather than to faithfully preserve the materials.
This is hard to imagine, perhaps, and
painful to admit. But the awful fact is, these precious documents
are appallingly shoddy, flawed, and incoherent.
We have no idea where the originals may have been written and stored, but the Royal Library of Alexandria is one possibility. There is some artifactual and architectural evidence that Gnostic sects were established around the Mediterranean basin, including Palestine, close to the Dead Sea encampment of the Zaddikim.
The "originals" could have originated in
hundreds of places.
When Doresse published
The Secret Books of the
Egyptian Gnostics in 1958, there was still some debate over where
the Gnostic movement originated. Amazingly, Doresse, a Catholic
archeologist who was overtly hostile to the Gnostics, was the only
post-Nag Hammadi scholar to cite what the Gnostics themselves had to
say about the sources of their movement.
There, bounded to the north by the Araxes River, a high plateau fed by Lake Urmia marks the geographic matrix of the Gnostic movement.
Doresse wrote:
Once the homeland of the Gnostic movement is located geographically (black diamond, upper center of map), a remarkable fact comes to light: the Urmian Plateau was the hidden navel of ancient cultures in Mesopotamia, aligned to the Fertile Crescent and symmetrically uniting the Near and Far East with the Mediterranean.
See in below insert, enlarged view of map for more details.
The name Seth occurs in the Bible, in Genesis 4:25:
Significantly, this is the only time it occurs. Seth belongs to
"another seed," a lineage set apart from the Judeo-Christian
narrative of "sacred history." From the inception of their story,
Gnostics are situated outside the conventional narrative of Western
spiritual life.
German scholars such as Gustav Widengren, Richard Reitzenstein, and M. H. Schraeder, who are largely ignored today, delved deeply into the prehistoric roots of Iranian religion known as Zurvan. This is the germ of the doctrine of cosmic duality attributed to the Persian prophet, Zoroaster, and spread throughout the world by the members of his religious order, the Magi.
Reitzenstein in particular intuited that Gnostic ideas were
influenced by Persian duality, or
Zurvanism, but he was unable to
work out how. No one since his time has done any better. The
investigation is complicated by the remoteness of Iranian religion,
dating to the 6th millennium BCE.
All through the Near East and into Europa, the astronomer-priests of the Magian Order was known in late times as "Chaldeans," a rather misleading nickname. This term is a derivation of the Sumerian Kasdim, related to the Hebrew Chesed (a sepiroth of the Tree of Life) and Chassidim, "the pious," an ultra-conservative sect linked to the Zaddikim.
The tendency of Biblical editing is to
conflate Chaldean motifs with the Magian Order, conferring
legitimacy on the patriarchs by way of association. Abraham's
father, Terah, was a priest of the temple of the lunar god, Sin, in
the city of Ur. There is a great deal of astro-mythological lore
encoded in the Old Testament — evidence of Magian and Sethian
influences. And, of course, the Magi figure vividly in the New
Testament fable of the birth of the savior.
In her extraordinary
and little-known book,
Plato Prehistorian, Mary Settegast situates
the rise of the Magian Order, the original priesthood of ancient
Iranian religion, in the Age of the Twins, around 5500 BCE, a date
supported by the Greek sources. Settegast refers here to Zodiacal
timing based on the precession of the equinoxes.
In the Sophia mythos, there is no internal split
in the Godhead (the Pleroma), but there is an anomalous projection
from it, setting up a two-world scenario.
Axis C of the Dendera Zodiac, dated to 5,600 BCE, marks the Age of the Twins. A white marble figure of the "double goddess" from Catal Huyuk VI (pictured on right, from Mellaart, The Archeology of Ancient Turkey, p. 21) clearly present the Twins motif.
At Catal Huyuk archeologists have found twelve successive layers of building, representing distinct stages of the city and reflecting different eras of its history. The top layers of the mound, containing the most recent buildings, are dated at 5,600 BCE, the date of Axis C and the double goddess relic.
I could offer dozens of similar
At Eridu (Ur in the Chaldees), directly south from the hidden navel of the Gnostic movement, precessional timing would have been imparted to the first Sumerian theocrats. But once it was turned over to state-supported priests and social controllers of the early Near Eastern theocracies, precession lost its value as a tool for educational planning and guidance.
The telestai consecrated to guiding humanity fell into
conflict with other Magians whose aims were political. The eventual
split in the Magian Order devolved upon such arcane matters.
Over Lake Van looms Mount
Ararat, where Noah's ark is said to have come to rest. Over Lake Urmia looms Mount Kuh-I-Khwaga, the "White Mountain of Seir" held
sacred by Gnostics down into a period some five or six thousand
years after their tradition was founded there. (Map detail left, from Mary Settegast, Plato Prehistorian. Radius of circle, about 165 miles.)
Mandaeans of the Iraq marshes, whose beliefs show many similarities to Gnosticism, recount a parallel legend of a founding couple, Anosh-Uthra and Yohanna, who established their base at the White Mountain. Seir is an Indo-Iranian root, cognate with Syr and Shri, "holy, hallowed, sacred."
Urmia derives from the ancient Persian word for water.
Lake Urmia is an UNESCO Biosphere
Some traces of this early settlement survive on the ground. Excavations at Hajii Firuz have produced rich archeological evidence, including a fired ceramic dish from the Halafian culture of Palestine, contemporary with it — i.e., the dish was brought to Urmia from Palestine.
The décor shows the sixteen petal motif, the
signature of the Mystery cells. (Settegast, plate 121a.) It is
likely that the organization of the Mystery cults in the Near East,
as well as the technique and teaching they transmitted, derive from
the remote Iranian matrix.
Each branch operated on different motives and methods.
Masters of Learning
Within the Order, Gnostics were given the title of
vaedemna, "seer,
wise one," as distinguished from the priest, the zoatar, who
officiated openly in society and advised Middle Eastern theocrats on
matters of statecraft and social morality, not to mention
agricultural planning — for Zoroaster was by all accounts
responsible for the introduction of planned, large-scale
In Christianity, it is Jesus as the incarnation of Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, following the hybrid theology of Saint Paul.
In Islam, the redeemer figure is plural, assuming the form of
various Imams and hidden masters. The Sunni-Shi'ite conflict is
about the succession of Imans after Mohammed. In all cases the
is a patriarchal figure, the central authority in a theocratic cult
whose ultimate aim, make no mistake, is to dominate the entire world
by imposing a social-spiritual order based on the dictates of an
off-planet father god who speaks exclusively to white male
demagogues (WMDs).
In the Coptic codices soter occurs frequently to designate the Gnostic master or teacher. But another term, phoster, is closer to the meaning of vaedemna, a wise or illuminated person (cognates: veda, vidya, wisdom, wit). Lest the reader despair, believing that I am unduly quibbling over terms, I must point out that a huge problem for humanity hinges on the difference between a seer and a priest, especially a state-sponsored priest.
Mary Settegast astutely notes that Iraniologists "hold conflicting views regarding the historical milieu of the prophet."
The crucial problem is this:
Here is that distinction that has baffled all scholars: between the shaman-seer and the sacerdotal priest who plays a hand in court politics. For the latter, agriculture was part of a sacred vocation.
Since the cultivation of the earth was central to Zoroaster's message,
Does this sound creepily familiar?
In the mission of the Zoroastrian Magi who took control of social
organization under the theocratic paradigm, we have the ancient
model of invasive colonialism and all it entails, a model still in
operation today.
According to scholarly opinion today and popular tradition in ancient times, the Magi were regarded, not as missionaries with a state agenda to execute, but,
Guides and
This is not just a problem for
scholars, however, it is a matter that concerns the very fate of
humanity. It determines the way we view human potential and how we
frame moral and ethical criteria by which society is guided. This
long and tangled tale from northwestern Iran brings us to the core
issue of human social experience: how we define what is evil, what
works against life.
Reitzenstein and others who placed the origins of Gnosticism in Iranian duality did not have enough source material to recognize that Gnostic dualism is a two-world system, not a split-source system. By split source, I mean that good and evil come from the same source. Gnostics rigorously denied this view.
This is,
however, the central Zoroastrian doctrine, inherited by an extremist
sect of Palestine, the
Zaddikim of the Dead Sea, and absorbed into
Christianity like a lethal virus.
One finds none of this
sophistication in the rigid, conflictual dualism of Zoroaster.
For Gnostic seers, the priorities were to maintain the lineage of the Revealers, preserve the sacred method of instruction by the Divine Light, and teach and transmit what they knew to the world at large. They were consecrated to a sacred aim, a telos, that embraced two dimensions: the art of guidance and the work of culture-making. They did guide others, but they did not manipulate them in the way the zaotar or state-priest did.
They guided
individuals by mystic instruction and the example of character. In
short, they maintained a rigorous boundary between their consecrated
aim, to teach, and the political ambition to lead. The best guides
are not leaders. The best guides are like spies, who do not like to
be followed.
In the Politicus 258e-267a, Plato refers to
techne, "the art of knowing," or perhaps "the art of managing things
known," in order to argue that "the ideal politician is defined as
the master of the gnostic art". Plato asserts that
"if such a being were to appear he would be a god come down to rule
This is the oldest text in the NHL, dating to almost 700 years earlier than the other documents. Yet no scholar has remarked on the highly unusual fact of its inclusion into the corpus.
I have pointed out before that the guardians of the Mysteries did not call themselves gnostikoi, but telestai, "those who are aimed."
It is
known that gnostokoi was the term directed at them in ridicule by
the Church Fathers: "smart-ass, know-it-all." I maintain that the
telestai renounced this name because it was associated (via Plato)
with the social engineers and special advisors of theocracy.
The group led by Marcellina,
The cult of personality was totally incompatible with the
mission and demeanor of the telestai. They would never have
tolerated such statues, but glorification of "great men" is typical
of the theocratic agenda.
The names of very few Gnostics - Simon Magus, Valentinus, Basilides, Hypatia - have come down to us.
Today we use the insult "Gnostic" to characterize the ancient
movement whose members opposed, not only their own
self-glorification, but the theocratic program of great men and male
leaders established and enforced by the politically oriented Magians.
But theocracy, and the entire dominator complex it focalizes, was totally alien to the telestic mission to teach, enlighten, guide, enrich — in short, to encourage and cultivate human potential. The will to control and manipulate human potential can never be reconciled with such a mission. This is why the original Gnostics, adepts of shamanic ecstasy who taught from instruction by the Light, defected from the Magian Order.
Order around in the Urmian Plato in the Age of the Twins, around
6000 BCE. The split devolved after 4400 BCE, when the vernal point
was shifting from the Bull into the Ram.
Alexander had himself pictured on coins with the horns of Amun, and
he staged an initiation at the Amun sanctuary of Siwa with the
purpose of having himself elevated to a god-like status (yet another
example of historical and artifactual verification of precessional
timing). All this is totally consistent with the advancement of
theocratic agenda in the Arien Age.
Their status as nomadic sages, the famous "Chaldeans" of antiquity, would have given them every advantage to observe three momentous developments:
They could not have closely analyzed this progression, not detected the pathological violence driven by redemptive beliefs as deeply as we can, however. At least, I don't think so.
The sheer force of it may even have taken them by surprise, not to mention the insidiousness of Illuminati techniques, perverting the regenerative rites of the Mysteries....
View of Lake Urmia with salt crystals and island
We are at the other end of the long drama that began by the shore of
Lake Urmia, with 2000 years worth of hindsight on the Illuminati
program and what the message of divine love packaged in the redeemer
complex can do to life on a small, lonely planet.

Reps Claim No Weed For Paris Hilton
When you're trying to clean up your act, it seems that everyone has something against you. Just ask Paris Hilton. She's only been out of jail a short time, and people are already starting rumors about her.
There are reports that Paris was smoking pot with Cisco Adler, Kimberly Stewart's ex-fiance, at Guys' Nightclub this past Wednesday. Rumor has it that she made out with him as well.
And her people are pretty ticked that the allegations were made. Her rep told press, "Paris absolutely did not smoke pot Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, as I understand was reported. That report is false."
Which side is telling the truth? Well, the fact that Paris has been photographed smoking pot in the past lends support to the rumors. You never know though. Paris surely has made some enemies throughout her days, who'd love nothing more than to help ruin the heiress' newly-presented good-girl image.
Enjoy the pictures of Paris returning home from an evening out in Hollywood (July 27).

(from Keeneland release)
Zayat Stables' favored Moudez, an Irish-bred colt who began his career in England, prevailed in a field of eight 3-year-olds to win the $112,100 Forerunner Stakes on the grass Thursday at Keeneland.
Making only the fifth start of his career, the son of Xaar took command along the inside with three-sixteenths of a mile remaining and gradually increased his lead to three-quarters of a length at the finish. Time for the 1 1/8 miles on the firm turf was 1:50.16.
Moudez raced twice in England before traveling to the United States where he finished 11th of 14 in the Laurel Futurity in November. In his only previous start this year, he won a 1 1/8-mile allowance race at Gulfstream Park.
Winning trainer Bill Mott said Moudez probably will run in the East and Midwest this summer. "There are some nice races in Virginia and a nice series in Chicago, so we'll probably try to pick a few of those out."
Pacesetting Bullara held on stubbornly to finish second, 1 1/4 lengths in front of third-place Trimaran. Corrupt finished fourth followed, in order, by Skip Code, Blues Street, Summerlucky and What a Character.
Moudez was forwardly placed by Cornelio Velasquez before taking the lead.
"Actually, I was hoping for a little more pace up front," said Mott of fractions that were :23 1/5, :49 3/5 and 1:14 2/5. "The pace didn't develop; looked like we were sitting there and everybody was keeping their horses in reserve for the finish so they bunched up a little bit. He was able to hold them off in spite of it."
Moudez improved his record to three wins in five starts and increased his career earnings to $110,117 with the winner's purse of $69,502.
The winner paid $6, $3.80 and $3.20 as the 2-1 favorite. Bullara returned $6 and $4 and Trimaran paid $3.60 to show.

A Thousand Hills to Heaven
"An absorbing and affecting narrative." — New York Times
"From the depths of destruction to "Heaven," Ruxin chronicles the regeneration of this remarkable country, ultimately revealing the healing power of forgiveness and hope. " –Publishers Weekly
Newlyweds Josh and Alissa were at a party and received a challenge that shook them to the core: do you think you can really make a difference? Especially in a place like Rwanda, where the scars of genocide linger and poverty is rampant?
While Josh worked hard bringing food and health care to the country's rural villages, Alissa was determined to put their foodie expertise to work. The couple opened Heaven, a gourmet restaurant overlooking Kigali, which became an instant success. Remarkably, they found that between helping youth marry their own local ingredients with gourmet recipes (and mix up "the best guacamole in Africa") and teaching them how to help themselves, they created much-needed jobs while showing that genocide's survivors really could work together.
While first a memoir of love, adventure, and family, A Thousand Hills to Heaven also provides a remarkable view of how, through health, jobs, and economic growth, our foreign aid programs can be quickly remodeled and work to end poverty worldwide.

NEED MORE ROOM? ASK US ABOUT OUR OTHER PROPERTIES ADVERTISED ON HOMEAWAY. They are all steps away from each other and all are located in the same vicinity.
Bring your boat, fishing gear, water skis, water equipment, and binoculars. The unit is fully furnished and fully air conditioned. A playground for kids is one block away. 2 docks for docking and fishing.
Pickerel Creek, Blue Heron Rreserve, and OWNR close by. One half hour from Cedar Point and the Port Clinton or Sandusky ferry boats to the Islands. Boating, water skiing, tubing, biking on site. Quaint popular eating establishments in nearby Fremont include: Whitey's Diner and Billy's Restaurant, and The Tackle Box well know for its generous 1 pound perch special on Friday evenings.
We also welcome duck and deer hunters to this rural and natural area with its many state wildlife areas
Spring and Summer Fishing: Ideal fishing for interested fishermen is the spring walleye run on the Sandusky River in Fremont. For walleye anglers, the Sandusky River in downtown Fremont offers plenty of action. Shore anglers can access the river easily at Swartzlander Park in downtown Fremont. Shoreline anglers can also fish the bay at Pickerel Creek Wildlife Area, Willow Point Wildlife Area, and upstream the action begins earlier with Memory Marina and Riverfront Marina providing boating access to the river where these transitional fish can be found. Huge catches of Walleye are taken from the river in downtown Fremont. The most consistent success on spring walleye usually occurs in the deep pools that line the Sandusky River between the State Street and Miles Newton Bridges in Fremont. The run usually peaks in early April, but fishing stays good throughout the month with White Bass fishing following the Walleye run through June. A variety of pan fish can be easily caught throughout the year.
Birding Opportunities & Memory Marina: Because of the proximity of the river, bay, and lake great birding Hot Spots include the various wildlife areas, ponds and tributaries on site or nearby. Close by areas include the Magee Marsh & Ottawa National Wldlife area, Castalia and the Resthaven area, Blue Heron Reserve, and Pickerel Creek. Eagles, Herons, Egrets and songbirds can be observed right from the cottage. Memory Marina is located ¼ of a mile from the cottage. You can put your boat in at this location and dock in front of the cottage. Memory Marina also operates a little store with many tasty and useful items for your convenience. Most mornings eagles can easily be seen from the cottage deck or large windows of the cottage where you can observe them hunting for breakfast while you enjoy yours.
President Hayes Home: The Hayes Home and museum, Fremont's National Treasurer, offers outdoor concerts on the veranda the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month during the summer. Hayes was the 19th president of the United States. The home at Speigel Grove sits on a large hill and is surrounded by beautiful mature trees many of which were planted when the Hayes family occupied the home. A Civil War enactment held each fall at Spiegel Grove. Chateau Tableau winery is also nearby in Helena and is a unique experience for wine lovers.
We came here from Millsboro, De, and we live in the country. But when we arrived my husband fell in love. This nice little cottage was big enough for our family. We did not want to leave.. Ohio is beautiful and the neighbors were very friendly too. My husbanf even caught about 40 cat fish during one day. This is cottage is on our list to stay again.
We had a wonderful time at the cottage, everything was right there that we needed. The lay out of the cottage was great, plenty of room inside and out. The river was right across the street, and that was enjoyable also, and it was nice to have a fire in the fire pit also. The mosquitos didn't like us much though, but that was to be expected being so close to the river. There was plenty of things to do and all the neighbors where friendly and made us feel welcomed. I would definetly come back again and recommend to my family and friends.
We had a wonderful time staying at this clean, quiet and well appointed cottage. Air conditioning was much appreciated and there was lots of room for the dogs. The owners were very helpful and directions were clear. The only difficulty we had was swimming. The river bank was not really suitable for entering the water, and it was awkward from the dock, but we managed. The water was very murky but warm. People were catching good sized fish from the dock. We would return and we recommend this cabin to others.
My husband and our two kids usually take a vacation once a year with my two sisters and their children. It usually is a vacation going west but this year we decided to go east. Doing some research on the internet we came across this site and chose to search around Lake Erie area. Linda was very helpful in getting us the cabin that was more comfortable for the family of our size. The cottage was beautiful cute and well kept. My husband loves the ceiling fans since I wouldn't let him bring his night stand fan on vacation with the ceiling fans he was able to have an air flow and fall a sleep to the noise. Love that the cottage has ac and we could relax and sit on the deck as well. Loved finding the bikes and movies in the garage and one workable fishing pole it gave our family plenty of laughs. My only complaint isn't really a complaint at all honestly we were close to nature but there were spider webs and huge spiders all over the house entrance and the decks by the river and plenty of wasps living/nesting in the wood so that was a little interesting. But thank you so much for helping our family have an awesome vacation and a comfortable stay in your peaceful cottage.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much, very comfortable and everything we needed. My daughter and two grand daughters came with us and really liked being close to everything especially Cedar Point and the beach. My husband enjoyed the fishing and the comforts of the cottage as he did not go with us when we went to Cedar Point. I would recommend the cottage to my friends, a great area to stay. The cottage was clean and well maintained with all the comforts of home which may our stay very pleasant.
They made our stay very well worth it! Even through the floods and all they took care Of all our needs!! Kids had a lot of fun riding the bikes and playing games that were provided for us. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!
The cottage is located in the rural country side between Sandusky and Fremont on the banks of the Sandusky River. Beautiful wildlife and wetland areas surround this unique area and many pretty farms dot the landscape. An abundance of deer, waterfowl, eagles, egrets, hawks, and other birds can be seen regularly.
Cedar Point and the Erie Islands are within a short drive from this area and can easily be reached easily by car.

Space Exploration
Space exploration is the physical exploration of outer space. The politics, science, and engineering behind space flight all fall under the auspices of space exploration. There are many rationales behind space exploration; among the most common are ones focusing on scientific research or the future survival of humanity.
This endeavor has been to some degree a dream and goal of humanity for the past several centuries, but it was not until the development of large liquid-fueled rocket engines during the early 20th century that it really became possible.
The Solar System, showing the Sun, Inner Planets, Asteroid Belt, Outer Planets, and a comet
The first major milestone of this endeavor was the launch of the USSR's Sputnik 1 on October 5, 1957, the first man-made object to orbit the Earth. After this event, the USA declared itself to be in a space race with the Soviet Union.
Major achievements of the first era of space exploration (which lasted until 1969) were:
After the first 20 years of exploration, focus began shifting from one-off flights to renewable hardware, such as the Space Shuttle program, and from competition to cooperation as on the International Space Station. Recently, private interests have begun pushing space tourism, while larger government programs have been advocating a return to the Moon and possibly missions to Mars in the near future.
Space Exploration Exhibit
James Spellman, Jr., DAFC, GS-11, 60th Medical Group Public Affairs, David Grant USAF Medical created the Space Exploration exhibit at Travis Heritage Center. The following is his background text on the Aerojet General XLR-73 rocket engine, Projects Mercury and Gemini.
Aerojet General XLR73Prototype Rocket Engine for the X-15 research program.
The famed X-15 research aircraft project -- the "grandfather" of today's Space Shuttle -- had somewhat of a problem during its earliest stages of development, when the Wright Air Development Center (Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio) Power Plant Laboratory pointed out the lack of an acceptable rocket engine as a major shortcoming of the original proposal by the National Advisory Committee of Aeronautics (forerunner of today's National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA). The laboratory suggested several rocket engines "more suitable" for manned aircraft, but essentially WADC urged further study before the final selection of a specific engine.
In October 1954, representatives from the Air Force, Navy, and NACA, who were planning the X-15 design competition, selected four rocket-powered engines as possibilities.
The original list included the Aerojet General XLR73 -- seen here on display -- the Bell Aircraft XLR81, North American Aviation's NA-5400 and Reaction Motors' XLR10.
Of the four rocket engines under consideration, only the Aerojet XLR73 was a funded development engine. Consequently, the XLR73 was the only engine which -- theoretically at least -- would have cost nothing additional in total program costs.
The engine ultimately selected for the X-15 program was not one of the four originally presented, but the Reaction Motors XLR99.
Mercury Spacecraft
The Mercury Monument honoring the original seven astronautsis shown here at sunrise at Pad 14 - December 18, 1964.(NASA photo)
Initiated in 1958 and completed in 1963, Project Mercury was the United States' first man-in-space program. The objectives of the program, which made six manned flights from 1961 to 1963, were simple:
The Travis Heritage Center displays a full-scale representation of the one-man Mercury spacecraft flown by the "Original 7" astronauts from 1961 to 1963. Built by McDonnell Aircraft of St. Louis, Missouri, for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a typical Mercury spacecraft measured 11 feet, 6 inches long with a diameter of 6 feet, 2 inches and weighs 1,356 pounds.
Project Mercury is considered by many as the beginning of the golden age of space exploration.
Astronaut Alan B. Shepard, Jr. (Lt. Cmdr, USN) became America's first astronaut aboard Freedom 7 on May 5, 1961 during a 15-minute suborbital flight.
Astronaut Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom (Capt, USAF) followed suit on another suborbital flight aboard Liberty Bell 7 on July 21, 1961. Unfortunately, Liberty Bell 7 sank in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean when the escape hatch prematurely opened shortly after splashdown. However, almost 40 years to the day - at a depth of three miles - the spacecraft was found and recovered on July 20, 2001.
Astronaut John H. Glenn, Jr. (Lt. Col, USMC) became the first American to orbit the Earth aboard Friendship 7 on February 20, 1962.
Astronaut M. Scott Carpenter (Lt. Cmdr, USN) performed a similar three-orbit mission aboard Aurora 7 on May 24, 1962.
With increasing confidence, the flight envelope was expanded by Astronaut Walter M. Schirra, Jr. (Lt. Cmdr, USN) during a six-orbit "textbook" mission aboard Sigma 7 on October 3, 1962.
The longest Mercury mission on record closed out the program on May 15-16, 1963 when Astronaut Leroy Gordon Cooper, Jr. (Maj, USAF) flew 22 orbits over 35 hours aboard Faith 7.
Astronaut Donald K. "Deke" Slayton (Capt, USAF) was originally grounded from flying a Mercury mission due to a heart murmur condition. He became the chief of the Astronaut office, responsible for the crew selections of the Gemini, Apollo and Skylab missions – until he returned to flight status as NASA's "oldest rookie" to fly the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project mission in 1975.
On December 7, 1961, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced a plan to extend the existing manned space flight program by the development of a two-man spacecraft. The program was officially designated Gemini on January 3, 1962. Project Gemini was the second human spaceflight program of the United States of America. It operated between Projects Mercury and Apollo, during the years 1963-1966.
Project Gemini
Gemini 6 Views Gemini 7
NASA successfully completed its first rendezvous mission with two Gemini spacecraft - Gemini VII and Gemini VI - in December 1965. This photograph, taken by Gemini VII crewmembers Frank Lovell and Frank Borman, shows Gemini VI in orbit 160 miles (257 km) above Earth. The main purpose of Gemini VI, crewed by astronauts Walter Schirra and Thomas Stafford, was the rendezvous with Gemini VII. The main purpose of Gemini VII, on the other hand, was studying the long-term effects of long-duration (up to 14 days) space flight on a two-man crew. The pair also carried out 20 experiments, including medical tests. Although the principal objectives of both missions differed, they were both carried out so that NASA could master the technical challenges of getting into and working in space.
The Gemini Program was needed after it became evident to NASA officials that an intermediate step was required between projects Mercury and Apollo. The model on display here is a 1/5th scale representation of the two-man spacecraft.
The major objectives assigned to Gemini were:
After 10 successful flights, the Gemini program clearly placed the United States in the lead over the Soviet Union in manned space flight. The flight of Gemini VIII included the successful emergency recovery of the tumbling orbiting capsule by Neil Armstrong."

EGRP News Flash - November 18, 2010
PAR Issued for Methods and Approaches for Detection of Gene-Environment Interactions
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently issued a new Program Announcement with Special Review (PAR) soliciting research proposals on methods and approaches for detection of gene-environment interactions in human disease. Applications are sought that use the Exploratory/Developmental Research grant mechanism (R21). The deadline for receipt of applications is February 3, 2011 (by 5 p.m. local time of applicant organization).
This PAR encourages research proposals to develop and test innovative statistical and bioinformatics methods and analytical strategies and study designs for identifying gene-environment interactions for complex human diseases. For the PAR, gene-environment interaction is defined as any joint effect of one or more genes with one or more environmental factors or exposures that cannot be easily explained by separate marginal effects.
The objectives are to further advance the understanding of gene-environment interplay in complex human disease by 1) the development and validation of algorithms and new statistical and computational approaches and study designs, and/or 2) the development and application of bioinformatics software for gene-environment analysis of existing human populations.
The long-term goal is to help identify individuals at highest risk for developing a specific disease or dysfunction based on both their exposure patterns and genetic risk profiles and inform potential environmental modifications or behavioral change interventions that could be implemented to prevent or reduce disease burden. For this PAR, environmental risk factors or exposures can refer to chemical toxicants, such as metals and solvents, and biological agents, such as toxins. Lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, and the use of addictive substances will also be considered. Family, social, and cultural influences that may modify the pathophysiologic responses to environmental exposures will be considered to the extent that they can be measured in biological assays.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI), a cosponsor of the PAR, encourages applications that address novel statistical methods, computational and analytical tools, and designs for studying interactions of genetic and environmental factors for studies of cancer etiology and prognosis. Applications may include statistical methods for large-scale gene-environment analysis of disease pathways for cancer risk assessment, early detection, prevention, and outcome. NCI is also interested in studies of the interaction of the environment with early cancer biomarkers.
The PAR's lead sponsor is the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), with several other Institutes in addition to NCI participating as cosponsors.
A letter of intent is not required, but the information that it contains will allow NIH staff to estimate the potential review workload and plan the review. Prospective applicants are asked to submit a letter of intent by January 4, 2011, that includes the following information: 1) descriptive title of proposed research; 2) name, address, and telephone number of the Program Directors/Principal Investigators (PD(s)/(PI(s)); 3) names of other key personnel; 4) participating institutions; and 5) number and title of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Refer to the FOA for specifics on where to send the letter.
Contact: Leah Mechanic, Ph.D., M.P.H., Program Director, Host Susceptibility Factors Branch, Epidemiology and Genetics Research Program, NCI.

text: Breeze-Eastern Corporation (NYSE Amex:BZC), a leading designer and manufacturer of high performance lifting and pulling devices for military and civilian aircraft, including rescue hoists, winches and cargo hooks, and weapons-lifting systems, announced today that its Board of Directors has adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (the "Rights Plan"). The Rights Plan has been adopted to ensure the fair treatment of all shareholders in connection with any take-over bid for the common stock of the Company. The Rights Plan seeks to provide shareholders with adequate time to properly assess a take-over bid without undue pressure. It also is intended to provide the Board of Directors with time to fully consider an unsolicited take-over bid and, if appropriate, to take requisite action to maximize shareholder value. The Rights Plan was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors. It is not being adopted in response to any proposal to acquire control of the Company, however, the Board of Directors has recognized that there are certain concentrations of ownership of the common stock of the Company and deemed it to be in the best interests of the Company's shareholders to take action which would protect the interests of the minority shareholders of the Company in a transaction involving a change of control of the Company. The terms of the Rights Plan provide for the Company's shareholders to receive one right for each outstanding common share held. In general, the rights will become exercisable if a person or group acquires 10% or more of the Company's common stock or announces a tender offer or exchange offer for 10% or more of the Company's common stock. The Rights Plan grandfathers in the existing interest of shareholders who currently own in excess of 10%, but would be triggered by any additional purchases. When the rights initially become exercisable, as described above, each holder of a Right will be allowed to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of a newly created series of the Company's preferred shares at an exercise price of $14.00. However, if a person acquires 10% or more of the Company's common stock in a transaction that was not approved by the Board of Directors, each right would entitle the holder (other than such an acquiring person) to purchase common stock in an amount equivalent to the exercise price at a 75% discount to the market price of the Company's common stock at that time the rights Plan is triggered.

CBS to revamp and rename 'Early Show'
NEW YORK – CBS has ranked No. 1 in prime time for most of the past 10 years, but its morning news broadcast has been dead last for countless more.
In the latest attempt to change that calculus, PBS talk-show host Charlie Rose and Oprah Winfrey gal pal Gayle King will lead yet another refashioned show, still untitled, that's due Jan. 9. Rose and Erica Hill, a holdover from the current Early Show, will lead the 7 a.m. ET/PT hour, with a tighter focus on hard news, while King will anchor the 8 a.m. hour, aimed more squarely at women.
"What you're going to see is a show that's very different, that doesn't try to copy what's already out there," says CBS News chairman Jeff Fager, referring to its far more successful counterparts, NBC's Today show and ABC's Good Morning America. Translation: no Halloween costumes, no cooking segments and no weatherman, though the show will continue to provide cutaways to local stations for headlines, weather and traffic.
"It will be hard news, it will be real news, but it's not going to be all serious," Fager says, instead toggling from "war zones to (financial) markets to pop culture." Its debut coincides with the earlier Republican presidential primary season.
Rose and King aren't new to CBS. Rose anchored the overnight Nightwatch newscast in the 1980s and has contributed to 60 Minutes, and the company distributed King's former daytime talk show, which lasted one season. "CBS has a new spirit, and a lot builds on a tradition I've known for a long time," says Rose, who will continue to do his nightly PBS show.
King, a self-described "TV news junkie," will give up her satellite radio show, which also aired on Winfrey's OWN network, as of Thursday, though she'll continue to help edit O magazine. "I really loved radio, but right now I am only going to concentrate on this," she says.
Chris Licht, former producer of MSNBC's Morning Joe, joined CBS News as VP of programming in June and will become executive producer of the revamped show. He promises to make it "competitive and relevant," a task he describes as "a huge opportunity but also a huge challenge." Aside from adopting a new name, the show will move from its current street-level, windowed Midtown studio to a brick-walled, windowless home being built in a former newsroom at CBS' Broadcast Center.
Chris Wragge, who co-anchors the Early Show with Hill, will return full time to his role at CBS' New York station, while news reader Jeff Glor will become a special correspondent.
Fager says a more competitive morning show has been "a long time coming," and he's tired of hearing the network referred to as "a distant third" in the ratings, as it is for its evening newscast, now led by Scott Pelley.
"It's amazing, really, that the No. 1 network on television, by far, isn't doing better" in the morning, he says. "We want to do better, and we really want to be proud of it."
The Early Show, which began in 1999 with Bryant Gumbel, has gone through several hosts, with Harry Smith and Julie Chen anchoring for most of the past decade. The current lineup was installed in January.

Both libertarians and conservatives want to keep America safe. We differ on how best to do that. Most libertarians believe our attempts to create or support democracy around the world have made us new enemies, and done harm as well as good. We want less military spending.
Some conservatives respond to that by calling us isolationists, but we're not. I want to participate in the world; I just don't want to run it. I'm glad Americans trade with other countries -- trade both goods and people. It's great we sell foreigners our music, movies, ideas, etc. And through dealing with them, we also learn from what they do best.
On my TV show this week, former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton will tell me why my libertarian skepticism about the importance of a "strong military presence" is "completely irrelevant to foreign policy decision-making."
Bolton thinks it's dangerous and provocative for America to appear militarily weak. He supported the Iraq War and says that if Iran were close to getting nuclear weapons, the U.S should attack. "I will go to my grave trying to prevent every new country we can find from getting nuclear weapons," because if they do, "it's going to be a very dangerous world."
He criticizes Presidents Barack Obama's and George W. Bush's failed attempts at negotiation with Iran, "negotiation based on the delusion from the get-go that Iran was ever serious about potentially giving up its nuclear weapon program."
That kind of talk makes Bolton sound like a hard-headed realist. Who wants to be naive like Bush or Obama? But hawks like Bolton ignore parts of reality, too.
They are quick and correct to point out the danger of Iran going nuclear. They are not as quick to talk about the fact that Iran has a population three times the size of Iraq's -- and the Iraq War wasn't as smooth or short as then-Vice President Dick Cheney and others assured us it would be.
If it's realistic to acknowledge that America has dangerous enemies, it's also realistic to acknowledge that going to war is not always worth the loss of money and lives, and that it makes new enemies. War, like most government plans, tends not to work out as well as planners hoped.
I asked Bolton if he thought the Vietnam War was a good intervention. "Obviously, the way it played out, it was not," he said, but, "it's always easy after the fact to second-guess."
Bolton also acknowledges that the Iraq War did not go well, but then adds, "Where mistakes were made was after the military campaign." The U.S. was unprepared for the civil war that broke out. The U.S. also failed to turn utilities and other state-run companies in Iraq over to the private sector, maintaining poorly run monopolies on energy production and other essential services, often squandering billions of dollars.
It might be seen as a harsh lesson in the importance of planning for the aftermath of toppling a bad regime. But we libertarians wonder: Why assume government will do better next time?
Occasionally government acknowledges mistakes in domestic policy -- but that doesn't mean it then becomes more efficient. It usually just spends more to try, and fail, to fix the problem. It's the nature of government. Politicians don't face the competitive incentives that force other people to make hard decisions.
Candidate Obama garnered support by criticizing Bush for costing money and lives through a protracted stay in Iraq. But that didn't stop Obama from putting more money and troops into Afghanistan.
In his first term alone, Obama spent about three times as much in Afghanistan as Bush did in two terms. Did we win hearts and minds? I don't think so. The Taliban may still retake the country.
Our military should be used for defense, not to police the world.

Ignorance is bliss for buzzy.He believes everything the left wing media feeds him.
Stupidity can't be cured.
Curious though,what about all the Democrats calling for action buzzy? Maybe he will send over some of those 45 thousand illegal children?
And when the next 9/11 happens,will Obama be responsible,or will it be Bush's fault?
Look, baggers, were sick of being the world's policeman. If Iraqi religionist want to have a religious war let them knock themselves out. It's not like we're all the sudden going to be reasoning with the theists. Need look no further than our resident willfully ignorant theists. Al Qeada didn't exist in Iraq until Bush introduced them there. Republicans broke Iraq and now these same clowns know how to fix it?
Meanwhile,all Obama cares about is votes!
In other news, the Pakis are ready to take on the Taliban & Haqqanis in Wazirastan. Perhaps they see Iraq as a possible future for their own country if they don't stop cutting bait and get to fishin. Either way, we'll never here of the massive civilian casualties of the offensive because the Pakis intel is good and their pilots and ground troops are crack shots; unlike if this were a US operation where every dead dog in the street would be counted as a civilian casualty and the Pakis would be seeking monetary recompense.
Either way, the Post Turtle in Chief has his work cut out for him and I see all this as make or break for his legacy once he returns from the land of fruits & nuts.

Bush invaded the wrong country and now teabagger wants Obama to mop up the mess. Is teabagger still duped by the fake IRS Republican scandal?
Twenty nine (29) United States Senators, including Hillary (Mrs. Bill) Clinton, voted for The Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 ... these 29 Senators voted for the Iraq War ...
Mrs Clinton changed her mind about that vote eleven (11) years later ... yup ... it took her 11 years to change ... and
Barack Obama, and Mrs. Clinton, both changed their minds about same sex marriage ... yup ... Mrs. Clinton was dead-set against same sex marriage before she was for it ... yup
Elderly ladies frequently change their minds ...

Stick to topic roadster?Is that what you want,really?
Ok,so Obama blew it pulling all troops out of Iraq,now he will ask Iran for help? Nope,JW, you can't make up this stuff. Obama has failed in Iraq. He is failing in Afghanastan. He has failed Syria. Putin makes Obama look like a fool. Anything else roadster? How about letting 86 THOUSAND illegal children in the country,with the parents to follow soon? Anything else "on topic" you want to discuss? Maybe the "nobody" left behind schtick,meanwhile we have a reservist in jail in Mexico for making a wrong turn. Your hypocrisy is evident,your patriotism is in question.
No redundant servers -- No storage in a raid configuration -- No tape backup -- No emails?
LOL -- They hold tax records for every American in perpetuity -- but not emails?
Nixon lost 18 mins, Lerner lost two years, you just can't make this stuff up!
Once again ban can't stick to a topic. I think neo-libertarians/John Birchers are way overrepresented columnists in this paper.
Goes back farther than that:
"The dog ate my homework."
Anyone else not believe the IRS "lost" Lerner's e-mails? Sounds like the same excuse used by Nixon and the "lost" minutes of tapes!

How do I deal with a rough toddler?
My friend has a very rough toddler who pushes, hits and bites. She is lovely but she doesn't do anything to stop him from hurting other children and simply says she can't control him. Her child recently pushed another child off a swing and broke his arm. I thought it might be a wake up call for her, but it wasn't. Do you have any advice about how to handle this? Although it sounds bad, I am starting to think about avoiding playtimes with her and I know that other mothers are already doing this.

This a great all in one product! I always carry around a thumb drive but now you can listen to music with your thumb drive through MP3 or an FM Tuner! A must have for any gadget lover!
Aswan's recommendation
Wow, a 1 GB USB Drive/MP3 player with FM tuner for under 15 bucks. I can't complain. It measures only 3.5" wide. A great entry level player for kids or consumers with basic portable audio needs.
Yournewbestfriend's recommendation
This handy gadget can hold up to 240 songs, while also having an FM tuner built in! It plugs directly into your computer so it's easy to use. Conveniently small for transport, as well.

Technology is a wonderful thing.

Delta is expecting to lose about $0.74 per share this year - that's the consensus of the twelve analysts who post annual earnings estimates. On gross annual revenues of over $20 billion, we think it's a sympton of the hyper-competitive airline market that this company expects post a loss of a roughly $250 million. Given the current environment of not only discount competitors, but also rising fuel costs, all the airlines are in the same boat. Delta has been boosting its fuel surcharges for passengers as fast as the other majors have, including last week's +$20 bump ($10 each way) that Northwest Airlines instituted. Sensitivity to energy prices in this industry is particularly evident in the stock charts we looked upon.
According to a Business Week article last week by Moira Herbst (May 7, 2008 issue of BW), Southwest Airlines is the only major airline to have instituted a hedging program in its fuel buying. Delta and the other carriers all have to contend with the same problem of soaring fuel costs, and there really isn't a solution to this problem for the carriers, other than passing the costs on to the consumer via fuel surcharges. Most of the other airlines, according this this article, don't have the cash available (effectively putting money "at risk") to hedge the billions of gallons of jet fuel that they need to buy. The premiums for the call options in the energy sector have gotten prohibitive.
Delta last came out with earnings in late April, in a combined statement with NWA, saying the losses amounted to over $10.5 billion. This was a combined result of huge write-downs on the companies' values, and losses due to fuel prices. Delta's losses specifically were $6.4 billion, despite a 12% rise in sales during the quarter. Excluding a special $6.1 billion non-cash charge relating to the drop in Delta's market value due to what the company referred to as "sustained record fuel prices", the airline lost $274 million in the first quarter of '08. Delta maintains that it would have recorded the special charge in the quarter regardless of its pending merger with NWA. Post-merger, both NWA and DAL intend to reduce costs through cutting flights, capacity and jobs. Obviously, the companies unions are both interested in preserving as many jobs as possible, and federal regulators are interested as well. With its capacity reductions, Delta said it expects to be profitable in the second quarter of '08.
Delta actually emerged from bankruptcy about a year ago, with a market value of around $12 billion. Since then, the stock price has been reduced enough so that its current market cap now stands at $2.2 billion. On the balance sheet, DAL maintains $8.80 per share in cash, a total of over $2.6 billion, but that is offset by $9.1 billion in debt. Operating free cash flow at the company is over $1.3 billion in the trailing twelve months, and the debt appears to be able to be covered at least on a current interest basis.
There is, as one might expect, a huge short position in DAL shares right now - some of that is no doubt due to merger arbitrage with NWA shares - but there is a 20 million share short position (about 7% of the float) in DAL right now. That is up from about 17 million shares short in April of 2008.
Although airline stocks have always been turbulent due to the tough nature of the industry, Delta stands to persevere in tough times because of its size even though smaller airlines may disappear. Also, tough times leads to industry consolidation, and gives Delta a chance to pick up regional airlines at bargain prices. In 2008, Delta merged with Northwest Airlines (NWA) for $2.6 billion, forming the world's largest airline by Available Seat Miles (ASMs).
Today, with the stock back to the $7.70 level, the options are also right back at $1.80, so we're issuing this note to say we still like this long stock / short call position very much - hold on here. Implied volatilities in the options on the airline stocks are in the triple digits.
On October 29,2008 Delta joined Northwest Airlines (NWA) to form the world's largest airline. Under the terms of the deal, NWA shareholders get 1.25 DAL shares for every one of their shares, so DAL will be the surviving entity.

The code I am using I got from a tutorial that I purchased from the Envato Tutorials site. It works great. I can copy and paste it right in with no issues. I even saw the slider variable in the database. I had not applied any slides yet so there was no other information. What I have been trying to do was take that code and put it into a meta box inside a custom post type instead of having it show in it's own admin menu which is what it was originally intended to do. I am not a master coder but from what I do understand, I can't see any reason as to why this doesn't work. Can I send you the code only through an email for you to look at?
I am afraid I have not the time to look at your code, but if you learned something from a tutorial, I don't see the problem to paste here the code that makes you problems.
But anyway, options and post types are saved in a different way. Maybe thats what you are missing?
