The Sacred Order of Lucha LibrePosted by red pill junkie at 21:24, 24 Oct 2012
Red Pill Junkie & The Zombie Milkman, Grand Masters of the order, receiving the final benediction from Dr. John Ward, British Templar & High Priest of Awesome.
And in case you're wondering, the answer is YES: we are accepting candidacies to enter into our hermetic brotherhood. But be warned, for the initiating process will be arduous, exhaustive, and extremely hilarious.
Um, so I think I just saw a UFO...Posted by red pill junkie at 02:28, 24 Oct 2012
OK guys, make of this what you will. All I an say is I'm not lying or making this up, although I could be mistaken.
The fact is, that I had forgotten to storage the bag I took to my trip to Paradigm symposium back up to a little storage room located in the terrace where I live. Some minutes ago I decided not to postpone this any longer, so I climbed up the metal stairs around 9:00 pm.
It's a beautiful clear night with some clouds in the sky. I was watching some of the airplanes flying from northwest to southeast, when suddenly after I opened the door to the room, out of the corner of my left eye something caught my attention. I turned and I saw like a little yellow light which moved erratically from right to left with a very quick and swift motion, and seemed to either have hidden inside the clouds, or went out somehow. The whole thing lasted less than a second.
The light was around 2 to 2:30 elevation in the sky (with 12 right at the zenith) at an approximate South East direction. It was very small, like the light of a laser pointer, only this wasn't been projected on a blackboard, and the light wasn't red nor green.
No, it wasn't a reflector light being projected on the clouds. I saw the light in the CLEAR part of the night sky.
It really startled me, and I just waited to see if there would be something more, when suddenly I perceived like a white flash of light inside the dark storage room, which had the door ajar but I hadn't turned on the lights yet.
After that I felt like a huge surge of energy crossing the whole of my body. Quite possibly the result of fear and adrenaline rush.
I waited a minute or two more, but I saw nothing else.
I entered the room, put away the baggage inside a cardboard box, turned off the light, closed the door, stood there a few moments actually pleading that light to come back, and then climbed down to write this while my memory is still fresh.
Man, it would be interesting to gauge in the coming weeks whether attendees to the Paradigm symposium started to report an increase in their paranormal experiences.
Cosmic Love in action, Mr. Hanks? ;)
PS: I didn't mention this on the blog post with the Martian Chronicles synchronicity, but the other Bradbury book I took with me on the trip was Something Wicked This Way Comes.
In the book, Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show arrive to Green Town on October 24th, at 3 am (the Witching Hour).
Soooooo... what that means at the moment, I have no idea.
But maybe something interesting is in store.
Paradigm SynchronicityPosted by red pill junkie at 17:41, 23 Oct 2012
I'm back from Paradigm symposium, although that's a bit of a lie: Part of me stayed in Minneapolis, and the person who returned to Mexico wasn't exactly the same one who left 5 days ago.
My last contribution for Intrepid, deals with a really nice synchronicity I experienced on my way to Minneapolis, involving my newly-found passion for the poet of Science Fiction --Ray Bradbury
Paradigm Liftoff!!Posted by red pill junkie at 16:30, 17 Oct 2012
Welp, this is it: Paradigm Symposium begins this week!
I'll be traveling to Minneapolis this Thursday to attend this exciting event. I hope I may get to meet a few Grailers up there :)
For all of you still interested to attend, there's still a few (very few!) tickets left, I'm told. Also, the Intrepid gang is offering day passes, in case you can't stay for the full event.
See you all next Tuesday!
Mesoamerican Ley Lines?Posted by red pill junkie at 17:57, 10 Oct 2012
For my latest contribution @ the Intrepid blog, I enter the controversial territory of the Ancient Aliens theory, and discuss the content of a book which had a huge impact on me when I was a curious Mexican teenager.
The title of the book: UFOs and Mexico's Archeology.
A Matrix Way of KnowledgePosted by red pill junkie at 15:25, 18 Sep 2012
For my latest thoughtcrime @ the Intrepid blog, I examine my personal fascination with the movie that inspired my nom de mouse, and its striking parallels with a series of books that helped kickstart the Counter-Culture movement in the 1960s.
Dowsing for DopePosted by red pill junkie at 01:52, 10 Sep 2012
For my last article at the Intrepid blog, I decided to take a critical look at the questionable use of unconventional technology, as part of Mexico's desperate efforts in their war against organized crime.
As a side note, I want to make clear that I'm fully aware there are members of The Daily Grail who claim to be proficient in the art of Dowsing; people I happen to have a huge respect for. I hope they can understand how my concerns are not related on them specifically, as I'm not concerned in how they use their alleged natural talents in trying to find a water well, or other peaceful endeavors. And yet I cannot stand idle in how certain governments, like my own, seem eager to rely on unorthodox methodologies not because they might prove to be reliable or accurate, but because they can nonetheless provide useful scapegoats to boost the statistics they advertise domestically & internationally to justify their myopic policies.
In you're into dowsing, I ask you simply this: would you be willing to bet your life on the accuracy of your skills? and how about the life of people you don't know?
And even if you do, do you consider dowsing a skill which could be acquired by just about anyone, relying solely on the use of technology alone? Or do you consider your talent to be like any other human skill: a trait with which some are born with a knack for it, but nonetheless requires practice and dedication?
Having said that, I hope you enjoy my little essay, as I also explore a few other examples where the Mexican government had affairs with the Paranormal.
The Good, the Bad, & the Bat-S#!T CrazyPosted by red pill junkie at 20:57, 03 Sep 2012
Exhibit (A) that we live in a Hyperreality...
So maybe with Ryan as his running mate, they could establish the building of Rapture as the base of their campaign platform? :3
And remember kiddies: Say NO to Splicers.
Richard Dolan: Another Red Pill JunkiePosted by red pill junkie at 00:54, 01 Sep 2012
I've been going through Rich Dolan's Truth Out radio archive this week. Truth Outh, in case you didn't know, is the show he has on the Global Radio Alliance network, which airs every Saturday night —And, like Tony the Tiger would say, it's G-r-r-r-r-eat!!
Listening to Fortean podcasts while I'm working has become second nature for me by now. Often times I find myself working on some project which doesn't require a lot of concentration effort on my part —Fixing a 3d model here, tweaking a computer rendering there, nothing too fancy— and that's where having the chance to put on my headphones while listening to a talking voice is very helpful.
My favorite podcasts are, in no particular order:
- The Gralien Report
- Mysterious Universe
- Hidden Experience
- Radio Misterioso
- The Paracast
- Dark Matters Radio
- The Other Side of Truth
- Binnall of America
But, even with all those shows, I can run out of fresh podcasts very early in the week. So there's where Truth Out has come pretty handy. Richard's show lasts a whopping 3 hours, and since I already considered him one of the top researchers in the field, listening discussing his ideas and theories at length is a delight; on top of that I happen to fin find his tone of voice to be very relaxing, and that counts a lot in my book too, since that way I can pay attention to what he's saying while multitasking through my daily chores —those LOLcats ain't gonna get rated all by themselves, ya know!
Plus, he's a Rage Against the Machine fan! What more dare you ask??
So I was just listening to show # 8 (5/9/12), and while he was answering to a listener's question on whay prompted him to enter the UFOlogy field in the first place, he goes on to discuss the great impact that reading Timothy Good's Above Top Secret had in him. "I became obsessed!" he admits, and afterward he spent a great many nights looking up to his bedroom's ceiling pondering on the what ifs.
And that's when he revealed that, like myself, he's hooked on red pills.
On around -34:52, he says:
The reason that it's engaged me all these years. You know like in the movie The Matrix where famously Neo takes that red pill, and reality unfolds. He sees reality for what it is. I wish life were that easy! Of course it's never that easy.
I've taken countless red pills, because the way it is: you take one red pill, in other words you realized "Holy shit! UFOs are real!", now my whole world has just gone kaboom, but that doesn't end it. You stay with this reality for a little while and then you realize the waters get deeper still. And you realize that you have to account for abductions, you have to account for mutilations. You have to account for, what appears to be strange science and strange visits of inter-dimensionality.
And what I found myself is to being pulled by degrees into those deeper waters. I didn't plan to swim out into the ocean initially. I just planned to, you know, trips along the shore there, get my feet wet.
But the field isn't like that. And it seems like every 6 or 12 months I need to take a new major red pill! to account for my continually transforming reality.
Not even I could have managed to put it so eloquently. It's as if Rich had managed to understand what was going inside my own subconscious the moment I decided, for not particular reason (it seemed) to become the Red Pill Junkie.
So kudos to you Mr. Dolan. You've acquired a fan for life —and well-stocked supply of red pills to go along with it ;)
Entanglements in Esoteric EconomicsPosted by red pill junkie at 17:58, 30 Aug 2012
Over at Intrepid, I mused a little about the over-arching implications of eBay's ban on Esoteric paraphernalia. It's not going to be to everyone's liking though, so consider yourself warned.

Domestic Gross: $132 million
Adjusted for Inflation (2012): $137 million
"The Last Airbender" is a 2010 film directed by M. Night Shyamalan of "The Sixth Sense" fame. The movie is based on "Avatar: The Last Airbender," an animated series that aired on the Nickelodeon network from 2005 to 2008. The movie is a big-budget, live-action martial arts adventure in 3D aimed at the 'tween demographic.
The movie was eaten alive by critics, who hated it with the intensity of a thousand suns. One such critic was Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times, who called it "an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented." The film had a respectable domestic box office take of $132 million, but don't expect a movie this universally loathed to spawn a sequel.

Nearly 170,000 registered voters won't have a voice this year in choosing a Pasco commissioner, one of five people charged with overseeing county government and its $1.1-billion budget.
That is the upshot of the 11th-hour political manipulation that saw a Lutz man with ties to Republican John Nicolette file as a write-in candidate to exclude Democrats and independents from voting in the District 1 commission race.
It is a sham. Disenfranchising more than 60 percent of the voters is a pitiful way to try to begin a career in elected public service. Nicolette should renounce the write-in candidacy and ask his acquaintance to withdraw from the race. Failing to do so shows a candidate who puts his own self interests above the public's best interests.
As it stands now, the Aug. 26 primary between Nicolette and two-term Republican incumbent Ted Schrader will determine the next commissioner. The winner's name will appear on the November ballot, but write-in candidate John M. Taylor's name, will not.
The tactic cutting Democratic and independent voters out of the selection process is a consequence of the 1998 voter-approved revision to the Florida Constitution, which said party primaries will be open to all registered voters if there is no general election opponent. Taylor's write-in candidacy creates that general election contest in November and closes the GOP primary to just Republicans.
Nicolette is a darling of the Republican Executive Committee for his fundraising prowess, though the committee plans no formal endorsement in the primary. Schrader found himself on the opposite side of the committee's political favor for his leadership role in the Penny for Pasco sales tax increase four years ago.
Republican Party Chairman Bill Bunting used the write-in maneuver four years ago in an attempt to exclude non-Republican voters from the 2004 school superintendent's race. Friday, Bunting said he did not know Taylor.
Public records indicate that Nicolette does, even though he protested that he had no role in Taylor's write-in candidacy. Nicolette sold nearly 8 acres of vacant residential land in Darby to Taylor and his wife in 2003. In April, Taylor signed a petition card to get Nicolette on the ballot. It might be the first sign of political activism for Taylor. He has owned a house in the Carpenter's Run subdivision for 20 years, but has never voted in Pasco County, according to the Supervisor of Elections Office.
Commissioners are elected countywide and represent all of Pasco, but must reside in one of five districts. The District 1 seat held by Schrader is based in east Pasco. Taylor's homesteaded property is in Lutz in District 2, which raises questions of whether he meets the residency requirement. Unlike major party candidates who have until the end of the election to move into a district, write-in candidates must conform to the residency rules by the close of the qualifying period, which was noon Friday
Taylor's candidacy papers listed a Wesley Chapel mobile home — owned by another party — as his legal residence. That home on Tyndall Road had a Nicolette campaign sign in front of it Friday afternoon. It is the same address Taylor included five days ago on his revised voter registration record. Other public records including Taylor's property appraisal, tax bills and occupational licenses for a home-based business all list his Lutz home as his address.
That evidence could bring a legal challenge from the Schrader camp or the Democratic Party and should motivate Elections Supervisor Brian Corley to investigate any improprieties.
Taylor can deflate the scrutiny by withdrawing from the race and allowing all of Pasco's registered voters to decide the contest between Schrader and Nicolette. It would be an appropriate solution for someone who hasn't been part of the Pasco political process for 20 years.

In today's political landscape of discourse and disagreement, we cannot lose site of the importance of freedom of speech and having healthy exchanges where conflicting views can be heard and valued.
With the understanding that deliberation requires instruction and practice, the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Safe and Healthy Students sponsors a "Deliberating in a Democracy in the Americas" grant. Five schools in Minnesota, including Champlin Park (CPHS) and Coon Rapids (CRHS) high schools, participated in the grant.
Through the program, CPHS's JoEllen Ambrose and Ann Anderson and CRHS's Ryan Severson traveled to Mexico in July where they were teamed with teachers. This fall, Mexico and Minnesota teachers taught three of the same lessons – voting, juvenile justice and freedom of expression – to their respective law and Spanish classes. Students communiate together three times to share the lessons' conclusions. Skype allows people to communicate via video over the Internet.
Anderson's Spanish 5 class did all of the deliberations and skyped with the students from Mexico. Ambrose's Social 12 Politics and Law classes skyped with the students, and all of her ninth and twelfth grade classes did the deliberating strategy with different public policy issues.
Ambrose, who had used the Deliberating in a Democracy lessons in the past, became aware of the grant through the Minnesota Council for Social Studies. Because she's been involved with many civic projects throughout her career, Ambrose signed up for the grant. Because of Anderson's background in Spanish and knowing it would add to the experience for students, Ambrose encouraged her to get involved.
Interacting with students from Mexico on shared lessons was a valuable experience for the CPHS students because they learned about how another government works. While in Mexico voting is seen as a responsibility and there is a high expectation people vote, in the U.S. the emphasis is on individual freedom and it's a personal decision if someone votes or not. When CPHS students learned that juvenile offenders are not punished as adults in Mexico, they disagreed with this until they learned that some young people commit crimes because they are forced into gangs or to work in the drug trade.
"In the discussion about juvenile justice, they talked about things that would have not entered a Minnesota student's mind," Anderson said.
Both the ability to use their Spanish and the materials they had to study were attractive to Anderson's students.
"The readings, available in Spanish and English, were a great resource," Anderson said. "It was nice to have contemporary material for my students to read and use to form and express an opinion."
Ambrose enjoyed the experience because she gets energized when she is involved in activities where she gets to meet fellow educators. In addition to meeting the teachers from Mexico, the Minnesota teachers had an opportunity to interact with each other.
"This is a valuable learning tool," Ambrose said. "It was really fun to see what creative strategies and ideas the teachers were using in their classes."
In early March, Gabriel Zamora, Gaby Chavez, and Guadalupe Munoz visited CPHS. Debby Krzesowiak, student teacher from the University of Minnesota, served as a translator in Ambrose's class.
Zamora, of Mexico City, teaches law and history in a high school of about 600 students. He is also a practicing attorney. He said he enjoyed his visit to CPHS and liked how every teacher had his or her own classroom and could hang up materials. In Mexico for the most part, the students stay in one classroom and the teachers move around.
"The students are a little loud, but they are all very respectful," Zamora said.
A professor at La Universidad La Salle in Pachua, Mexico, Chavez teaches law, history, politics, and economics. She was invited to join the project and agreed because she wanted her students to participate in politics. Chavez also found the CPHS students to be respectful, happy and willing to listen to their teachers.
A chemistry teacher at a high school in Mexico City, Munoz thought CPHS was very beautiful and well organized.
"I've been to schools in Chicago and the students here are more interested and more prepared to learn," Munoz said.
Munoz said she likes the Deliberating in a Democracy in the Americas program and wishes more students and teachers would get involved.
The teachers from seven states and their four partner countries will see each other again in June in Chicago. They will gather to debrief about their experiences this year.
When asked if she would participate in this program again, Anderson was quick to answer.
"In a heartbeat," she said.

Zuken is pleased to offer two training courses immediately following the ZIW Conference. The training will take place on October 18th. Attendees can combine travel to both the conference and the training, thus saving considerable amounts of money. The fee for attending these special courses is a highly discounted rate of only $350 for the full day.
Zuken and Würth Elektronik announced that design principles and layer stacks from Würth products will be incorporated into the next version of CADSTAR as part of a new collaboration that will help create higher quality PCB designs.
Kilopass Technology Has described at MemCon in Santa Clara, Calif., its new embedded VCM (Vertical Cross-point Memory) NVM IP bit cell. The new VCM bit cell quadruples the density of today's anti-fuse NVM IP bit cell. The VCM bit cell will make possible program storage where today's embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM) technology is cost-prohibitive or unavailable at capacities of 4Mb to 32Mb. It will also enable a higher level of performance more similar to SRAM compared to existing slower eNVM technologies or external flash or EEPROM chips.
Increasing amount of firmware in SoC devices requires bigger and faster memory subsystems. Synopsys announced the expansion of its DesignWare DDR interface IP portfolio to include support for next-generation SDRAMs based on the DDR4 standard. By supporting DDR4 as well as DDR3 and LPDDR2/3 in a single core, the DesignWare DDR solution enables designers to interface with either high-performance or low-power SDRAMs in the same system-on-chip (SoC), which is a key requirement of many SoCs such as applications processors for smartphones and tablets.
EVE has announced immediate availability of the e-zTest MIPI CSI-2 and e-zTest MIPI DSI validation platforms.
These two new wireless system-on-chip (SoC) validation platforms support the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Alliance wireless standards for Camera Serial Interface (CSI-2) and Display Serial Interface (DSI). They allow fast configuration of virtual cameras and virtual displays, along with an interface to a device under test (DUT) in the high-performance ZeBu SoC emulation system. The virtual test environment offers network accessibility of the design to any hardware or software engineer.
Last week I had the opportunity of speaking with Becky Oh, CEO of PNI Sensor Corporation. Those who follow this column know that in the last couple of years I have become interested in the MEMS industry. It all started during the GlobalPress 2011 event, when I listened to a few presentations from MEMS technology companies. This industry is very interesting on a number of dimensions: the semiconductor technology they use, the physics of the devices they produce, the amazing complexities of their micromachines, and the lack of integration tools from EDA companies.
Ralph Zak
Everyone loves a good underdog story. In EDA, that covers about 98% of the suppliers. There are lots of them. In an industry in which three companies with broad product lines control the vast majority of the revenue, about 200 other companies, with point tools principally, battle the giants head-to-head in their own narrow product space.
I received my Master Degree in Computer Sciences a little over forty years ago. The subject of my thesis was a computer based testing system for the manufacturing floor of the company I was working for. Another engineer who developed the hardware and myself developed a system to test incoming chips and completed PC boards in manufacturing. A minicomputer stored the tests and the results so that we could not only screen bad items, but also collect data about batches of incoming parts.
Last year I attended Zuken World (now renamed Zuken Innovation World) in San Antonio TX, but did not meet either of the Castro twins. Instead I attended the release of the CR-8000 PCB design environment and learned a lot about a company that at times seems a bit shy in its marketing approach in the US. Its style contrasts with the more aggressive approach of its competitors. I have often speculated that this is due to different cultures in Japan and in the US. Zuken, enjoys a significant place in the PCB market, competing with Mentor for leadership in the market. The CR-8000 is truly a system level design environment that approaches PCB architecture, design, and implementation in a holistic way.
The news that Samsung Venture Investment Corporation has invested $4 million in Carbon Design Systems is a clear indication that Carbon's products have achieved a critical place in the design flow at Samsung. Obviously Samsung cannot run the risk of seeing a small company as Carbon disappear, and can also leverage thje investment should an acquisition happen in the future.

I'm currently teaching myself German and the harmonica. I have a pointer hound who loves hiking with me. I love to travel! I spent a few months wandering around the US a few years ago and did the same thing in Central and Western Europe this summer. Both were very formative but backpacking through Europe was like nothing I've ever done. I can't wait for an opportunity to do that again. The idea of meeting new people (especially from other cultures) and not quite knowing where I'm headed on a given day is really appealing.
I lived in Burlington a while back as I was avoiding adult life but finally got back in school. I graduated three years ago with a master's degree in education. For the past few years I've been studying and practicing photography. I've done a few weddings recently and I'm trying to start a business.
Every once in a while I get a powerful desire to travel aimlessly or be as far from a city as possible. I lived in a very secluded cabin on Lake Ontario for a few years while in grad school. It was close enough to Syracuse and Oswego where I could get out now and then but so nice to be away from everything.
I just bought a house so a lot of my spare time is tied up with little projects.
Musically, I listen to quite a bit. Recently I've been listening to a lot of old school blues. I really dig Sonny Boy Williamson, he is an amazing harmonica player. I also really like bluegrass and would certainly welcome any suggestions. I like Bob Dylan, The Talking Heads, Phish, The Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Old Crow Medicine Show, Fleet Foxes, Pink Floyd, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Decemberists, Neko Case etc.
My favorite movie is The Big Lebowski. Anything Monty Python (again, the dork in me). I also like old WWII movies from the 60's and 70's.

Debbie could be the legal guardian of Paris if the teenager wants it, but Debbie is reportedly not going to fight Katherine Jackson over Paris' custody.
Debbie Rowe is likely to become Paris Jackson's guardian if the court decides to make changes in regards to the 15-year-old teenager's custody. According to a source, Debbie "would be delighted to have Paris living on her ranch" with her. However, the mother reportedly will let Paris' grandmother, Katherine Jackson, to be the legal guardian.
Another source told New York Daily News, "It would take Katherine dying or becoming very ill for Debbie to seek legal guardianship in court." The source added that both Debbie and Katherine wanted to respect Michael Jackson's will, in which he named Katherine a guardian of his children.
"Katherine said she isn't going to give up the role because she feels that would be letting Michael down, and Debbie has too much respect for Katherine and Michael's wishes to fight her in court," the source said on Monday, June 10. The source also said that Paris could stay with Debbie during summer, but "it still wouldn't change the guardianship."
Paris has been moved to UCLA Medical Center from a hospital near Calabasas home after she allegedly tried to commit suicide. According to E! News, the King of Pop's daughter "is doing much better." A source of the site added, "She knows she has some big decisions to make. And she knows she needs to get better and start thinking straight." Paris has been receiving support from "a lot of people around her who love her and want her to get better."
Paris' godmother Diana Ross reportedly "is extremely concerned about Paris." According to Radar Online, the singer "has vowed to make sure she gets the help she needs." She is said planning to visit Paris when she is discharged from hospital. Marie Osmond, who lost her son because of suicide, is also concerned about the girl's condition. "This little girl's in a really hard place. Who knows what the answers are, but I'd seriously look. My heart breaks for her," she said during an appearance on CBS' "The Talk".

FINANCIAL improvements need to be made by Gwent Police according to a report by HMIC published today.
The HM Inspectorate of Constabulary's (HMIC) Responding to Austerity report said the force had limited understanding of the financial demands it faces and is one of three police forces in England and Wales which 'must improve'.
Developing a greater understanding would help the force match demand with resources in the future, it was said.
In 2015/16, the force has a savings requirement of £9.2m with current planned savings of £5.1m, leaving a current budget gap of £4.1m in that financial year.
Dru Sharpling, HM inspector of constabulary for the Wales and Western Region, said: "Gwent Police has plans in place to achieve almost all the savings required for the spending review period and has made good use of partnership opportunities with rigorous oversight of staffing reductions. However, plans for dealing with the savings requirements for the future are undeveloped."
The report highlights the impact of planning for and policing the NATO summit, which takes place in Newport this September, as having the potential to delay the force's progress in making the improvements outlined. Funding of Gwent Police and the provision of policing services are part of the responsibility of Ian Johnston, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent.
He said: "This is not the beginning of that journey and whilst there is no doubt we have some tough challenges ahead, we should not underestimate the fantastic work undertaken by Gwent Police already in achieving over £28 million in recurring savings during the last five years."
The report commended the force's good use of collaboration with other Welsh forces and local partners to get better value for money.
Chief Constable Jeff Farrar said: "Whilst we understand some of the concerns raised by her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary in this report, this does not reflect the considerable work that has been undertaken by Gwent Police in managing the financial cuts the force has faced in recent years.
"The report shows that we are projected to have 95 per cent of our staff on front line duties by 2015 which is where the public want to see them. This is three per cent above the national average."
He added: "The Police and Crime Commissioner is focusing us on what matters to our communities rather than chasing numbers and whilst we saw a four per cent rise in crime figures in last year this is largely attributed to us telling staff that it is the quality of service that counts not numbers and that we need to record crime accurately."
The report also said it found that victims of crime in Gwent were more dissatisfied with the way they are dealt with than in England and Wales as a whole.

Capital Southwest Is Heading Due North
Private equity and venture-capital groups are riding high with the proliferation of financing deals and buyouts. Most of them are privately held. One exception is Capital Southwest (CSWC ), which buys stakes in startups and provides early-stage financing. It looks for growth companies "with great management -- and stays with them for years," notes Steven Rogé of investment boutique R.W. Rogé, which owns 2.5% of the narrowly traded stock. Since going public in 1961 at 11 a share, its net asset value has soared from $14.9 million to more than $300 million -- or at a yearly compounded rate of 13.8%, notes Rogé. The stock, now at 89, is undervalued, he says, based on its net asset value of $108.7 a share. Even after allowing for the illiquid value of private firms in its portfolio -- by discounting 10%, the rule of thumb -- it is still worth 98, figures Rogé. Some 36% of its money is invested in publicly traded stocks, including Comcast (CMCSK ), Alltel (AT ), and PETsMART (PETM ). "In essence," says Rogé, "you are buying one of the best private equity funds at a 20% discount."
Note: Unless otherwise noted, neither the sources cited in Inside Wall Street nor their firms hold positions in the stocks under discussion. Similarly, they have no investment banking or other financial relationships with them.

Location was a big problem, on a busy loud street and far from sights. I think it would only be good for those using the train station next to it and need a night somewhere. This said, good, clean hotel with friendly staff.

Standing in the field, farmland, 1km from a city with highway. It's almost dark 7pm in October autumn. No wind 0-1bft. Everything far away. Some birds I don't know beep. Geese and ducks in the distance. A motorcycle far away and than a church-bell blown away by the wind.
This why I love my land (and the great mic). I just stay there and listen.
Recorded autumn October night 7 pm Holland. Sounds very North European.

The fictional Hossain Miyas promise of an island without either masjid or mandir in Manik Bandopadhyays Padma Nadir Majhi which the theatre group, Pratikriti, staged with great verve last Sunday should have a special resonance for his real-life co-religionists. Their ambivalence about terrorism is highlighted by General Shaukat Sultans sanctuary offer to Osama bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, if they live as peaceful citizens in the Waziristan mountains.
Although Bandopadhyays novel was written seventy years ago, Aloke Debs script and direction make it a contemporary essay in humanity transcending barriers of denomination. It peals a message of hope at a critical juncture in communal relations. The Vande Mataram controversy climaxed on Wednesday. Monday marks the anniversary of the day that changed the world. Reports suggest that the peril might be shifting to Bengal, which the chaos of the approaching puja threatens to engulf, from the land the Padma waters.
Even if Pakistans military spokesman was misquoted as Islamabad claims but the taped interview indicates otherwise opinion polls show that 53 per cent of Pakistanis regard Osama as a world leader against 41 per cent three years ago. Muslims elsewhere may be less blatant, but still, no king, president, prime minister or community leader condemns outright the violence that savaged India and Russia long before erupting in the United States of America, Spain, Indonesia and Britain. Had they done so, people would have responded with greater sympathy to poll findings of discrimination that prompted a kindly Manmohan Singh to urge people to remember that Muslims nurse a strong grievance of not having been an active participant and beneficiary of processes of social and economic development.
Islamic ambivalence plays into the hands of Americans who still carefully avoid language that might brand Muslims as the worldwide enemy. The Afghan operations name was changed from Infinite Justice to Enduring Freedom because Infinite Justice might appear to impinge on Allahs exclusive prerogative. Similarly, George W. Bush retracted the word, crusade, when Muslims bristled at the reminder of Christendoms repeated attacks on Islamic Palestine.
Notwithstanding the calumny Bush invites, and despite the horrors of Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay and secret CIA interrogation centres, he does try to make out that the US is not engaged in a clash of religions but in the great ideological struggle of the 21st century between good and evil. His September 6 speech avoided any reference to Islam.
But Azzam the Americans latest broadcast was an uncompromising call to jihad. His rhetoric was very different from that of Shehzad Tanweer, the 22-year-old British-Pakistani suicide bomber who perished on July 7 last year. Shehzads posthumously released video warned Western governments of more attacks until you pull your forces out of Afghanistan and Iraq. He did not invoke religion but an anti-imperialist cause that enjoys support across a wide swathe of independent opinion in Asia, Europe and even, perhaps, America. But the gauntlet that the Californian convert flung down ordered his fellow Americans similarly to convert or face destruction in this world and damnation in the next.
The White House dismissed Azzams ultimatum as a twisted view of Islam which labels as enemies and infidels those who do not have the same beliefs. But a killers Allah ho Akbar! a cry that chills my childhood memories of Calcuttas 1946 riots rang out almost simultaneously when another Islamic fanatic sprayed a British tourist group in Amman with bullets.
Azzam clearly signalled a fight to the finish between Muslims and Crusaders, with whom he lumped Zionists (Jews) and Infidels (Hindus). It was a declaration of war on the rest of humanity by 20 per cent of the global population. Innocent, law-abiding Muslims everywhere will immediately recoil from the notion of such a confrontation. Not only are they entitled to deny the role of holy warrior that al Qaida seeks to force on them, but they have a duty as much to the world as to themselves to reject it. The prime minister rightly pleads that all Muslims should not be tarred with the terrorist brush; but Muslims alone can, and must, ensure that this doesnt happen by vigorously voicing their opposition to international jihad.
Their silence causes dismay, stokes suspicion and gives a handle to other zealots. The leaders of British Islam were outraged over Shehzads video, seeming more offended by this spotlight on a criminal than by the crime itself. One understandable concern was that the dead boys parents would be devastated to see their son on the screen. Another was that by reopening old wounds, it would encourage a white backlash. A spokesman claimed that Muslims had already been very badly affected and that reminders of the explosions would just make life even more difficult, with all the media attention and the rest of the community pointing the finger, which is not justified. Some also acknowledged that seeing Shehzad preach his gospel on the telly might incite other young recalcitrants to copy him. But in the main, the British Muslim reaction to one of their number boasting of the lives he had taken, justifying the bloodshed and threatening more, was that Muslims were being victimized.
It was almost as if all memory of the crime had to be expunged so that it might seem as if it had never been committed. This curious logic has drawn little public comment in Britain where political correctness means bending over backwards to such an extent that a new inter-faith surgical gown like a burqa has just been invented for Muslim patients. But despite reports of stray incidents, the feared backlash did not materialize. However, a recent YouGov survey did show that 53 per cent of Britons think that Islam poses a threat to Western liberal democracy. And this feeling has undoubtedly encouraged ethnic profiling and a suspiciousness on the part of the police that was previously reserved only for young Afro-Caribbean males.
When a Malaga-Manchester flight offloaded two Asian students whom white passengers regarded as suspect, Britains Independent newspaper called it nothing less than mob rule. Six British Muslim members of parliament, including three peers, claim that current policy risks putting civilians at increased risk. Others complain that beards, caps, veils, languages like Urdu and Arabic, and even brown skins are becoming synonymous with terrorism. Shabnam Hashim, spokesperson for the Indian organization, Act Now for Harmony and Democracy, fears a calculated systematic demonization of Muslims.
Even Hossain Miya, played to perfection by Satyapriya Sarkar, can be demonized for urging beleaguered fisherfolk to resettle on his island in the sun. Beard, cap and lungi make him the archetypal Muslim rustic, but the style and quality of his apparel highlight the wealth he has acquired since arriving from Noakhali in just a lungi. The chowkidar in constant attendance proclaims his power with a reach that extends to Calcutta and Dacca. His insistence on the thumbprints of beneficiaries reveals the caution of an operator who finances good works with a little trade in opium on the side. His benevolence could be enigmatic. Since this is not a review, I will not mention Gautam Ghoshs better-known film or other cast members in Pratikritis engaging production. Readers must discover those delights for themselves.
But Padma Nadir Majhi is not just another effloresence of Bengals unending romance with the river. The many levels at which the parable operates belies contemporary versions of the Muslim plight and of Muslim interaction with people of other faiths. What remains ultimately is a Muslims utopia of Moyna Dweep where men of all creeds eat, work and live together.
Moyna Dweep is a state of mind. It is a vision that rebuts the widely-held belief that while all Muslims may not be terrorists, all terrorists are Muslim. If that is a lie, Muslims alone can nail it as Sarkars Hossain Miya does. He shows the path to sanity at a time of mounting distress.

Greasy, clogs poresThe smell is nice, but it feels greasy going on. I tried it for three days and quit when I noticed whiteheads and blocked pores on my cheeks and forehead. No thanks! — 6 years, 8 months agointerzone | 28 reviews
Very unimpressed!Left my face feeling greasy and slippery, seemed to sink into pores and clog them up. Did nothing to keep makeup on longer and actually seemed to make my foundation apply LESS evenly. Did not give the anti-aging benefits a chance to work because this felt so unpleasant on my skin that after a few uses I got rid of it. As a serum it might or might not work, but as a primer it is terrible and NOT recommended. — 6 years, 8 months agobeccatheeditor | 17 reviews
questionable qualityI did not use this as a primer- I simply tested it on my hand at the store. It feels very filmy and slightly tacky to the touch. It was enough for me to pass this one by. I can see how it might be helpful as a primer for skin that is aging- but I immediately thought about how it might feel to smile and feel that filmy layer on any part of my face where the wrinkles are starting. I can only compare it to how heavy starch sits on a shirt. — 6 years, 9 months agoPinaColada | 9 reviews

Needles to say I have some fine lines and wrinkles.. Foundation also seemed make them more visible so it's been a struggle.

The second edition of the New Wave Photography exhibition recognises the rise of contemporary photography from the CEE region. From 19th to 27th April the Crypt Gallery in London will host 12 artists, exhibiting fine art photography from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Surrealism, minimalist landscape, classical nude photography, gum print, lomography and digital montage demonstrate the diversity of the work on display. Hungarian photographers Benedek Bognár and Zoltán Békefy both draw inspiration from classical imagery while creating something completely new, while the Polish artist Maciej Boksa specialises in photographs intended to guide the viewer into an alternative perception of reality. Martin Hruška is showing a collection of his marine life photographs. Lucie Jestrabikova's photos have been created by using her body to create fascinating abstract compositions, while Réka Kóti explores the creative boundaries of Lomography. Where Slovakian artist Veronika Otepková proves that digital photography can be both innovative and classically beautiful, Polish photographer Przemys?aw Kuci?ski uses a 19th century technique called gum print to create black and white nude images. The New Wave Photography 2013 exhibition will be on display from 19-27 April 2013 at the Crypt gallery in London.

A transient ischemic attack (TIA) happens when blood flow to part of the brain is stopped for a short time. It's also called a mini-stroke because the symptoms are the same as a stroke but they don't last long or cause lasting damage.
A TIA is a warning that you may have a stroke in the future. Early treatment can help prevent a stroke.

Statement of financial performance (or operating statement)
The statement of financial performance reports the Government's income (revenue and gains) and expenses.
The Government's main source of revenue is income tax and other taxes obtained from the use of sovereign powers. Other sources of revenue are investment income and revenue from the sale of goods and services.
A significant amount of the Government's expenses is in respect of non-exchange transactions, such as welfare benefits. The statement of financial performance provides a breakdown of the Government's expenses by function, for example, health, education and social security and welfare.
Because there is no direct link between the resources that the Government receives and the services it provides, the overall surplus or deficit (also referred to as the operating balance) is not a measure of financial efficiency.[10]
In addition to the level of the surplus or deficit, users are often interested in the ability of the Government to continue to provide existing services and meet the demand for new services in the medium to long-term. Financial forecasts are more useful for providing this type of information than the annual financial statements. However, the annual financial statements can provide information on the cost of current services and the current infrastructure in place for the provision of services.
The statement of financial performance helps users considering the following questions:
- Is the government operating at a sustainable level (for example, are the costs of government being met by revenue or are they being deferred to the future)?
- How has the government allocated resources to various policy areas (for example, health, education or transport)?
- What budgetary measures might be needed to achieve the government's fiscal objectives?
In analysing revenue and expenses a number of factors, such as volatility, controllability and duration need to be considered as explained below.
- Volatility: Some revenues may be more volatile than others (for example, company tax revenues are linked to changes in corporate profitability and are likely to fluctuate more than source deductions that are linked to salaries and wages).
- Controllability: Some factors that determine the level of government expenses may be largely outside the control of the Government (for example, exchange rate movements).
- Duration: Expenses or revenue may have a one-off or a continuing effect. For example, a change in a tax rate is likely to have a continuing effect on revenue, whilst an organisational restructuring may have a one-off effect on costs.
As a general rule, trends over a period of time provide better information than information based on a single point in time. The financial statements of the Government usually contain a five-year trend analysis for major items. The disclosure of expenses by functional classification (for example, health or education) is useful for readers seeking to analyse trends in government spending.
- [10]A related fiscal indicator is the operating balance excluding revaluations and accounting policy changes (OBERAC). This indicator removes the impact of revaluation movements and accounting policy changes from the operating balance and is therefore less volatile than the operating surplus. However, it does not isolate aspects of changes in the operating balance (such as changes in tax revenue and unemployment benefits) that arise from cyclical factors.

Sharpsburg church break-in still under investigation
Police still are investigating a late December break-in at St. John Cantius Church in Sharpsburg.
The church, one of three in St. Juan Diego Parish, was the target of thieves who on Dec. 28 broke in the front door apparently looking for some items they could grab to sell quickly.
"They stole some microphones, which I guess they can sell easily," said the Rev. Mike Decewicz, pastor.
The thieves made off with no money, he said.
"That was the great thing, that there was no money there," Decewicz said.
Police Chief Leo Rudzki was not able to be reached for comment.
The pastor was out of town when the church, which sits along High Street, was targeted.
Parish maintenance director Jerry Auen discovered shortly after noon on Dec. 28 that the front glass door of the church was shattered and reported it to Sharpsburg police.
Decewicz said he is grateful that damage was limited to the door.
"Nothing else was ruined, which was fortunate," he said.
St. John Cantius was founded in 1906 as a Polish parish. The current building was dedicated in 1971 after a fire destroyed the original structure.
While Decewicz still celebrates a weekly Mass there, the church has been used primarily as a home to the Korean Catholic Community since 2008.

Any Friends from Ukraine Can Update Us on Situation There?
We all know there is widespread public discontent against their government (elected of course)'s decision to withdraw from talk on closer economic tie with EU. As I know, current president Yanukovych won the last presidential election over Yushchenko primary because Yushchenko failed to revive the Ukrainian economy. And I am also aware that while Yushcenko is pro-west, Yanukovych is pro-Russia. Public discontent is against their government's decision to opt for Russia favor in stead of Western European one.
I like both Russia and Ukraine, both are great nations. Therefore I regret to see that one is oppressing another every step of the way, which is an open secret. I also hope that Ms. Tymoshenko would regain her freedom and have her name clear. The condemnation against her is outright ridiculous.
And if the public opts for western-oriented economy, why stop them from making the choice? Isn't Ukraine a democratic country? Isn't democracy the system electing Yanukovych the Ukraine president? It's has been almost 3 years and Ukraine's economy is still circling around the drainage. Shouldn't Yanukovych and his party worry about the next presidential and parliament election?
So, you guys can share your insights on Ukraine's current situation and development?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/3/2013 (1608 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Pham Thanh Cong leans forward, his 55-year-old face a patchwork of scars and dents, and explains what's wrong with My Khe hamlet. Vietnamese families are built around a three-generation structure, Cong says. Parents work the fields while grandparents take care of children. In time, children will become caregivers and grandparents the cared-for. Eventually, the generations will shift and the cycle will repeat. Families have been this way since there were families in Vietnam.
But in My Khe, a generation is missing.
There isn't much that is exceptional about this hamlet. Farmers in conical hats bend low over rice paddies as children tend to the cows and water buffalo that graze on the fields' grassy borders. Families, sometimes as many as four people, balance on mopeds as they make their way along My Khe's single road. It's hard to imagine this place any other way.
On March 16, 45 years ago, however, events were to happen here that would sear this and the other sleepy hamlets of Son My village onto the world's consciousness. Forty-five years ago, the U.S. Army had no name for My Khe. It simply called it by the name of its neighbour: My Lai.
I'd been working as a reporter in Vietnam for only six months when I first traveled to My Khe last fall on assignment for the Saigon Times. It was there I met Cong and first heard his story. Last month, I returned. I wanted to speak to Cong again, and to others, to understand how their lives are marked by what happened there.
There are still survivors of that day in March 1968 living in My Khe and its surrounding hamlets. They still remember how it was quiet the morning the Americans came. Nguyen Hong Tuu smiles as he tells me how, at age 12, he was helping gather food for breakfast with his family when the artillery barrage started. Pham Thi Thuan, then 30, was feeding her cows when the familiar sound heralded the soldiers' arrival. Even now, a shade falls across her face as she describes how this same artillery had killed her husband two years earlier, leaving Thuan to care for their paddy and two girls, then ages 3 and 1. Cong remembers how, at age 11, he was helping his mother prepare food as his father worked the field, gathering their harvest.
There was no panic. South Vietnamese and American troops had been to the hamlet before. Still, Tuu remembers his father growing concerned. He was sure that South Vietnamese troops were coming and that they would kill the family's livestock and conscript him into the army. Together, Tuu and his father gathered what animals they could and herded them to the shelter of a neighbouring village. As they made their way back to the hamlet, Tuu could see the first of the American helicopters land. His father had to explain what it was. Tuu would never see his family together again.
Thuan wasn't especially concerned about the arrival of U.S. soldiers. Her house faced the road, which they occasionally traveled. Sometimes they would stop and make a fuss of her girls, ruffling their hair and giving them candy.
Eleven-year-old Cong was different. He resented the smiling soldiers who followed in the artillery's wake. He couldn't understand how he was supposed to greet the people who shelled him and his family. When the artillery started, his parents gathered up Cong, his two sisters, ages eight and two, and his five-year-old brother and took refuge in the half-light of the crude timber-and-clay bunker his father had built. Cong's family would die in there.
Cong heard the shooting before he saw the soldiers. There were three, he said, two white and one black. "A soldier called us out, and we stood there not knowing what was happening. The white soldiers guarded us while the black soldier shot our cows, then set fire to our barn... The soldiers stepped away, discussing what they were going to do next. As they were talking, my mother guessed what was happening and told us. We started to cry. Then the soldiers forced us back into the bunker. My mother got in last. I think she was trying to protect us. Then they threw the grenade in."
The soldiers came for Thuan and her girls, too. "They took us from our bunker and made us walk to the irrigation ditch. All my friends and neighbours were there. I could see my father [age 80]. The soldiers were shouting... I didn't look at them; I was too scared. They pushed us into the ditch, all of us. They used their rifle butts. After that, they started shooting. I saw them shoot my father. I still see it. The back of his head exploded. I couldn't believe it — his brains were completely white. Everything else was red."
One-hundred-seventy unarmed men, women and children were killed at the ditch. By the time the soldiers left, four hours later, as many as 500 villagers would be dead. The majority would be women and children and the old . Many had been raped, some mutilated, some scalped.
The American Division's Charlie Company had come to My Lai for a fight. They'd been told that the 48th Battalion of the National Liberation Front, or Viet Cong, would be there. They'd been told that they'd be able to get even for the mines and booby traps that had sapped their morale and numbers in the four scant months they'd been in Vietnam. All they found was an empty village and an unresisting outlet for their rage and frustration.
In the ditch, Thuan didn't move. Pressed under the bodies of her friends and neighbours, she waited. "I pushed my daughters below me and held my hand over the mouth of the youngest. If anyone in the ditch moved, they shot them. We waited. I was so scared. It was a hot day, but still we didn't move. When we were sure the Americans had gone, we climbed out. We were covered in the blood and flesh of the others. Our hair was thick with it. I took my daughters and ran."
Cong regained consciousness at around 4 p.m. Men from a nearby village had pulled him and the bodies of his family from the bunker and, assuming them all dead, had gathered them together. Cong came around to find himself, severely injured, lying amid the charred and dismembered remains of his parents, brother and sisters.
Tuu returned to the village later that night. Of his family, only two others (his father and one brother) had survived the day. The rest — his grandmother, mother, brothers and sisters — had been killed at the irrigation ditch.
Though Thuan and her daughters survived, six other members of her family did not. Nobody was left to help her. She worked for days, cutting wood and bamboo leaves to rebuild the house the Americans had burned. Now 75, she and her daughter still farm the same paddy.
Tuu also continues to farm. He and his father, the last of their family, share the same field. Still working side by side.
The only member of his family to live through that morning, Cong needed years to come to terms with what the Americans left behind. He worked as an itinerant labourer, drifting from farm to farm, unable to settle down or form any kind of relationship. It was only later, much later, that he returned to Son My village. Cong is now the director of the Quang Ngai Vestige Sites Management Board, which operates the museum and cares for the graves at the site of the massacre.
As news of Charlie Company's actions made its way to America's newspapers and television screens, a conflict that already had divided a nation ripped it in two. My Lai came to mark the beginning of the end for the U.S. military adventure in Vietnam.
Now, 45 years after the soldiers came here, the events of that day seem a world away. My Lai and the small hamlets of Son My village slumber under the midday sun. Dogs lie by the dusty tracks, and rice paddies roll like oceans under the gentle wind. Cows amble along the village road, and cats sleep on porches.
It could be any village in any part of central Vietnam, but there's something missing. Children have grown old visiting the graves of parents. Families have managed as best they could in the absence of the previous generation's counsel. Babies have been born into the vacuum of half a family, tended to between the endless cycles of tilling, planting and harvesting.
A generation has gone.

Day Four Gone. Let Day Five Begin
After my rookie experience at Aldi's, I decided to go back and give it another try. So right after work, I made the quick drive over. Parked in my exact same spot from the day before. Grabbed my Wal-Mart plastic sack and stuffed it in my pocket.
As I'm walking in, an older guy even offers me his cart he was going to put up! I politely say no, thank him and walk inside. I'm finally in the "in-crowd" at Aldi's! For dinner, it's spaghetti. I already have sauce, meat and noodles at home. My goal for Aldi's is to make it in and out with crescent rolls and garlic bread in hand.
In about ten minutes, I have my rolls and bread. I spent 9 of those minutes just walking up and down the aisles pricing everything in my head. Make my way to checkout, give the cashier my two items and get my total: $3 and change. (FYI if you use your debit/credit card, you have to type in your pin). During the whole checkout time, I was observing all the cashiers. They were all extremely nice to all the customers AND they are quick with the scanning. One cashier scanned an entire grocery cart of food in minutes. If only AVI servers were that quick with serving food..........
Day four also marked my brother's birthday. I texted him happy birthday and check to see if he was doing anything. My siblings and I all usually get each other birthday gifts and I'm going to have to figure something out. I am "balling on a budget" and will likely just give him cash once I see him next. Then I have my nephew's birthday this weekend. Fortunately I "cheated" and purchased his gift last month. I don't want a kid to have to be affected by my project minimum wage and get a crappy gift. Like I said at the beginning, I am taking certain liberties with this project.
But seriously, say you live in a family of four or six and not making much money. The kids would have to come first for gifts so I'm sure there are many couples who don't even get each other gifts because they put their kids first and secondly to save money.
On top of all this, I'm out of light bulbs at home. I try to stick to energy efficient light bulbs at home but they are pretty costly compared to the $1 package of four light bulbs you can buy. Being energy efficient isn't exactly cheap. It's kind of an oxymoron. You have to spend money to save money. I'm just going to stick it out through this month and if I have to live in darkness so be it.
So my current budget after dinner is $307 that needs to last through January. The first weekend is coming up in Project Minimum Wage. If I'm lucky my friends won't be doing anything so I can stay in and save money. For sure I won't be going out to the bars to watch the Cotton Bowl tonight.
Schedule for this weekend is Letter T where I'll be trying something new. It'll still be in my Project Minimum Wage budget. I just have to be a little creative!
Don't forget to follow us on Twitter where we have over 500 followers now and like us on Facebook where we're closing in on 200 likes.
Happy Dining All!

Stick painter's tape down and form a triangle. Trim the painter's tape as needed with scissors to get your look.
Cover exposed areas of clutch with newspaper so the spray paint does not get on exposed areas.
Spray Paint. Remove tape while paint is still wet.
Let dry.
Rock your new Spring clutch!
I love the pop of color on the clutch! And, I love my holey boyfriend jeans... they are super comfortable and I wear heels with them and fool everyone into thinking I am actually dressing up.
