Metro Detroit, Royal Oak
Snyder pushes for Medicaid expansion
By Robert Guttersohn
Posted July 8, 2013
Gov. Rick Snyder made a stop at Royal Oak's Beaumont Hospital July 1 as part of his lobbying effort for votes on expanding Medicaid coverage to thousands of Michigan residents.
In the visit, he called the current health care system "dumb" and "broken" and urged those in attendance inside the hospital's auditorium to call their senators.
"Speak up," he said. "I need your help."
Medicaid is a government insurance program for people who meet low-income and other eligibility requirements.
The expansion of the program to cover more people is one large part of the Affordable Care Act, known colloquially as "Obamacare."
Along with the mandate that every American carries some form of health insurance, the Medicaid expansion is poised to go into effect at the beginning of next year. When the Affordable Care Act became law in 2010, it initially mandated that states accept federal funds to expand Medicaid, but a 2012 U.S. Supreme Court decision said whether or not to participate in the broadened program is up to the states to decide.
As a protest to Obamacare, some Republican-dominated state legislatures are saying no to the funds. Snyder is hoping Michigan does not go down the same road.
The state House of Representatives passed the Medicaid expansion bill last month and now Snyder wants his Republican colleagues in the Senate to do the same.
"This isn't about politics," Snyder said while seated on the auditorium stage with Beaumont doctors and former patients. "This isn't about polarization. It's about common sense."
Snyder, in a brief press conference with the media afterward, said he wasn't sure how many Senate votes he had, but he expects a vote in August.
If passed, the expansion would cover initially 300,000 additional Michigan residents and then expand to 470,000 residents in subsequent years, Snyder said.
Among those on stage with Snyder was Aida Cutler, from the American Cancer Society and someone who has seen several family members without access to insurance die from cancer.
"The people of Michigan want this," Cutler said. "So it's up to our Senate to get going."
Beaumont staff members — including Sandor Shoichet, the director of the outpatient clinic — also expressed their support.
Shoichet said people without insurance struggle between paying rent or paying for needed medication.
"It's a struggle for many of the patients," Shoichet said. "And it's become worse during the recession."
Attempts to reach state Senate Republicans opposed to the bill before the Fourth of July holiday were unsuccessful, but Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville said in a statement that he has formed a special Medicaid expansion committee, called the Healthy Michigan Workgroup, to meet over the summer.
"I look forward to working with the governor, the House and my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to present a plan for a healthier Michigan," he said in the statement.

Ha ha, I've had better days predicting outcomes! France pretty much eliminated. Nigeria losing to Greece because one of Nigeria's players let himself be provoked into kicking some annoying Greek jerkplayer. Argentina winning in nice fashion over South Korea like they are hardly there.
It definitely was ones of the more interesting days IMHO .

Into the Blue Horizon
The clouds of the past are dissipating, dear people of the planet. You are being very calm about it all, despite the things that are brewing on the host of heaven's big plan for the future. Yet there are some things that need to be set into motion before the inevitable whatever-it-is happens that's about to happen. You see, there exists in the timeline ahead that is the most likely one for you to pass along the possibility that there is a grand event that makes the world wake up and pay attention. There is no guarantee that there will be a light show from the spaceships so many are in, but there's no authority that says there won't be. It remains to be seen. What we are here to say today is that there is something about to hit the minds and hearts of many people, and that we are on the horizon to make sure things go well for the whole of the world. You see, we can't jump in and make it all better, but we can be just on the envelope, for now, and keep order from this side of reality. It won't be long before that changes, but for now we are watching, waiting, and making things smooth to the extent that you can perceive.
High above the rim of the sky and a little beyond that, we have our perch. We have been waiting for the time to come when we can be within the sphere of Earth's lifestream again and interaction with you can resume. You have no tangible memory of the time when we were in your world other than vague impressions, recollections in dreams and lost visions, and the stories relegated to books and myth. We assure you that the time has been that you walked with gods and the time will give way to that being so in a short while. The first hints of that are arriving in your minds as shimmers of seeing and knowing that there are among you the men of light and the world of great things to come is at your doorstep. You have known in your hearts and it is coming to the forefront of your minds now, that once we walked the Earth together. So shall we do again, beloveds, in a way that puts everything about the millennia of separation into focus and opens understanding to a greater reality than engendered by the limited interaction you are able to partake in today. It is necessary for us to wait until the time has presented itself unequivocally near to the end of the road for there to be no interference in the best-case scenario available for the planet. There is no way that you can solve the issues of calamity that are streaming forth from the planet without some help, either from outside the sphere of Earth or from within, in the relaxation of control that has gripped everything since the time of the end of Eden until now. The things you need to get the world aright are there, all right, but they are closely guarded and under wraps. Is there a way for you to get them uncovered? You are working hard to wake up. It's slow going, and the nightmare that looms is nothing that a lot of people want to see. We simply are here in case you need a sound reaction to get the job of awakening done, but we are only able to do so much right now.
Reality has morphed from what it was a tiny bit of time ago, and will continue to change as the minutes and days eke forward. This is the initiation into light that so may have been longing for, but it isn't what the infernal lords have been wanting to see. You are able to wrest yourselves free from the condition of slavery if you wish it to be so. We are happy to help in the best way for your entire race. We won't take just the thought for a select few kind of plan. If it's going to work, it has to work for everyone, even the shadows that have been sucking your blood while you slept. You have a little while to remain at rest, dear family. The time of awakening is soon to be upon you. Be ready to jump out of bed and into the full light of day.
This Is the Time of Transformation: The Movie
It's almost time for the show to begin, folks, so be sure to have your snacks on hand and take a seat. You won't want to miss a moment of it. Your tickets are already in the till and you are taking in the first-run season for the blockbuster event: The Time of Transformation Is Now. Lights dimming, music cueing, cameras rolling… we begin.
Not so long ago in the history of your civilization, you noticed a shift of intention from the ones who had been taking the lead in the power plays that hold the audience captivated. The men and women of the international cooperative have recently let the onus of their apparent greed get the better of them, despite long years of placing themselves within the dramatic action onstage in such a way as to hide the end point of their loot-gathering activities. However, the time has come for a little gesture of friendship to open up the eyes of those who sit spellbound before the action unfolding as if on cue in front of their eyes, unblinking, and to land a big surprise right in front of everyone. The audience gasps, unprepared for such a showstopping sight! Is it real? Let's hear a little bit from the script:
TIMEKEEPER: It is time for another event. Let us gather and heave ourselves a big one.
IGNORANT OFFICIAL: We are ready and at your service.
HARD-BOILED REPORTER: Just tell me what to say…
FIRST HEAD OF STATE: If I am choice number one, I will get a big promotion, won't I? Is it me?
SECOND HEAD OF STATE: I am better prepared to send in fodder to the machine, let it be me!
IGNORANT OFFICIAL: I will have a lot of explaining to do… maybe I'm not up to the task… Hmmm…
THIRD HEAD OF STATE: You others forget that I am the chosen one, I alone have the trust of my people, I alone have the resources and everything to deal with this incoming tragedy.
TIMEKEEPER: Gentlemen please! It is a choice that prepares you to become more able to be all this and more… but for now I am happy with your sense of loyalty to the shield. You are all in my hands. Soon the hour is upon us all when the world will come to a shuddering halt. You are my minions and the ones upon whom I rely for doing the things that will get us through the next round of time in regal glory, regardless of what the masses of people think. It is mine. The rest is up for grabs.
TEXTER TWEETER: If you think this is going to be unremarked upon, you must be as crazy as you seem.
Get ready and stay tuned for the next reel. Go get another box of popcorn because intermission is almost over. You are really going to love the next part of the reality show being screened today. You might even find it to be interactive in a way you hadn't expected it to be… if you intend to let your sense of disbelief in the fiction fall for a moment and see that there's something playing out behind the scenes. There's no telling what might happen if the audience participation level goes through the roof. We are hoping it will, on the early side of tomorrow, for we also would like to take part in the theatrics. There's only a little while left before the drama of the first act is unraveled into the truthtelling of the ending, you now. It is still being recorded in the halls of time to be revealed shortly. In the meantime, take your seats, gather 'round the lighted picture show, and relax into the story, knowing full well that this is the screening of a lifetime. It's full of excitement, twists and turns, and promises to leave a real impression on your consciousness. You are really going to talk about this for a long time to come. Don't let the commercial announcements distract you, in the moments before the second half of the show begins. Try to stay focused on the truth of the moment, and be as one in seeing it reveal itself to you all.
A Short Story for Passing the Time: Tasks in Knowing Wonder
We would like to share with you the story of a Pleiadian hero, called The One Who Found the Key. The hero is called ANDY, and we join his adventure as he sets out to find something wonderful, a treasure of knowledge that lay at the feet of a sacred shrine relic, a statue of the god INCONCEIVABLE. No one had ever found the statue because, quite simply, no one was quite sure what they should expect it to look like. There were vague ideas and approximations, legends and sketches and blurry pictures, but no real first-hand knowledge of how, exactly, to find it. Let us enter the narrative at this point.
Andy was walking along a particularly lonely and desolate stretch of road when suddenly he caught in the corner of his eye a flash of light. Stopped in his tracks, he scanned his body with awareness to locate any visceral response which would tell him the nature of what his visual sense had seen. He picked up the impression of a process of joy building up in his stomach and took note. Continuing on, he soon saw, again out of the corner of his eye, a flash of light. Now he rubbed his eyes, stopped and scanned both himself and his surroundings with his awareness. Noting both joy and now knotted in his throat some excitement, he stood, silent, aware. As he sensed with increasing fineness the field of reality around him, he let himself settle into the stillness. What now? A shimmer in the distance, wavy light moving ever so slightly against the otherwise solid, stable rock. He turned from his path and set off in the direction of what he saw, hoping it was not a mirage.
Time after time this happened, each time taking him further along his journey of discovery. Each time some shimmer would lead him deeper into the wilderness. In this way, he followed the path of his heart toward the sacred statue of the inconceivable.
After a time, knowing he was close to his goal, he noted in his awareness scans that a certain weariness had settled in his bones. He still wanted to find the treasure, and he knew he was nearly there, but he also realized he wanted to go home. His search for the divine inconceivable had focused his mind and senses on discovering sacred treasure. Yet it also changed his concept of home. Where he was, he could not return to the home he had known before his spirit had been kindled by the sacred quest. Once he found it, and the treasure of Great Cosmic Knowledge, what would "home" mean? What would he do with himself when with his own two eyes and his finely honed awareness he stood in the presence of… whatever he would finally discover? Would he perish? Would he be forever changed? Let us follow Andy's tale just a bit longer, and we shall see.
Finally, the day came. It was to be a day of transformation, but he did not yet know it. Andy set out again on his journey, assessing his inner state and finding it joyful, excited, and weary. A shimmering light appeared, this in the far distance yet somehow not so far as others had appeared. As he approached, rather than slipping into the background of reality, the shimmer became more solid-looking. The nearer he approached, sensing his path with his heart so that his head could be prepared for what he might find, the shimmer took on an opalescent wholeness, and the form of the divine inconceivable began to reveal itself to him. Oh, what treasure would he find at its foot? Reminding himself to breathe, he crept onward, ever scanning with his awareness lest he miss some clue of understanding what, exactly, happens when one stands toe to toe with what cannot by the mind alone be created.
At last, he was at the rim of an opalescent light source. In front of it on the ground was a sign: "To access the treasure of great cosmic knowledge, get up and look before you. There shall you find what you seek, pilgrim. Prepare to be transformed." Standing from where he knelt, vibrating with anticipation, excitement and joy, he focused his senses into the heart of the orb of light. At first he saw only his reflection. Then other forms began to emerge from the opalescence. Was this some trick of the light, he wondered? Staying as centered as he could, he kept watching. All of reality shifted around him and he found his heart was the only solid ground, so he gathered himself there. Light-forms became light-beings, and at that superluminal threshold he felt that he, himself, was shifting from solidity into a phased pulsation of energy, yet still he had form. Soon, the opalescent light of the orb of the inconceivable was everywhere, all he saw and knew and sensed was drenched in it. Everything was transformed. The great cosmic knowledge, free from where it waited to share itself, had forever transformed everything. Light glowed in the once-dark valleys, and from the point where he stood Andy could see opalescent forms emerging from orbs of opalescent light far and wide, spreading all over the land.
Here ends our narrative for the day. What comes next has not yet been written. It is only now beginning to be sensed, and yet with that a transformation is already beginning to occur. Stay aware, dear hearts. What follows will be worth the wait. Meanwhile, keep your eyes to the skies, and see the divine inconceivable everywhere you look.
Hope Fulfilled
In the moment in which you forgive yourself for being human, you become more fully human, and more divine.
Some days, you find yourself thinking, "What if…?" Going over in your mind what could have been if only you had paid more attention to your experience at crucial points of possibility is one sure way to become more aware in your present-moment experience. Such days, you ask yourself if you can forgive yourself for not taking opportunities to connect with love and understand it better, through experiencing it. Remembering those moments of lost love is to bring them alive again. It grants access to power to transform your reality utterly, from one of regret to one of hope fulfilled. We greet you from aboard the lightships which hover just beyond the edge of perception, and we invite you to enter into those places of such power with the thought that you are ready to be through with who you have always thought yourselves to be, that you are ready to become transformed into a new being of light, of love, of understanding. Thus will you remove a veil which prevents you from seeing your true divine Self, the light of consciousness. You must be able to see into the dark with eyes of love and, without a thought of self-condemnation, to find yourself there in the dark, becoming aware of the light. Hope, you will find there. Hope fulfilled, you will create. In this way, your transformation is effected.
How do you create such a state of change in a minefield of regret? With small steps, of course, but realize that the mines explode only with awareness, and they act with a domino effect. Entering into awareness at a memory-point of lost opportunity infuses awareness into your total being, if you allow yourself that experience. With your fundamental awareness of yourself thus awakened, you may find that the question of what-if becomes irrelevant at the moment of forgiveness. If you can consider that you have become aware of your own understanding of love only by experiencing awareness of what it never seemed to touch, then you will know forgiveness, for love is indeed there, unmasked. Awareness of the pain of separation turns into awareness of the joy of finding love where you thought you had lost hope. In that moment, it is possible to connect with a greater understanding of love and stretch out the edges of perception to encompass a greater field of awareness.
Perhaps you have a memory of being unable to find resolution with another being about unmet needs. Allow your awareness to open into that memory and unlock for you now what you could not have understood then. You are more than you were, with more experience of love. Take the opportunity remembrance affords, though it may call forth feelings of pain. Pain takes your awareness and focuses it on a specific target. Usually, that target is, at its essence, nothing more or less than lost opportunity to have had an experience of love. Seeing that moment now with eyes wiser in love, allow the opportunity to be resolved, the hope fulfilled. See yourself as beloved and know that you are. You are. In every moment, even the painful ones, you are beloved. Know that what you have experienced is the divine essence of self, the connection to the Source of All That Is. In the moment in which you forgive yourself for being human, you become more fully human, and more divine. You are a creation in progress, approaching divinity. You are about to get a better idea of what that means.
We remind you of these things because reality is about to change quite dramatically for you. At the moment of recollection, you have a perfect opportunity to come into a greater understanding of who you are, who you have been, and who you are becoming. It is a good time to put old regrets to sleep and meet hope with new eyes. When you do, we will be perception's reward, but your own transformation in light will be treasure rediscovered. Hope is waiting for you in the shadows. Meet it with love.
Kick It
High above the clouds, millions of people are waiting to buckle up and take a short trip to see you face to face. The ships are there, with people in them, it is true. You have only a short while to wait, and all of Earth will be abuzz. Then why not kick things up a notch, and take the initiative yourself, and move into the state of receptivity? Before you know it, we will respond in a way that will delight even the most skeptical among you. We know many have prepared their hearts for our arrival. You will not be disappointed. But some others of you, your families, friends, and neighbors, are at a loss as to what to think about the whole question of our mere existence, much less being prepared for a demonstration of our reality. To those who doubt, we say, don't worry, we come in peace with tidings of great joy. This party is for everyone. Homecoming is near at hand.
Higher still than our ships above the surface of your planet are the interplanetary spaces of the solar system. Within those spaces are the vacuous realms of inter-galactic magnetic communications, on which bands our words have traveled from our source, which is, locally, from our own home stars, and non-locally from OM, which is everywhere and nowhere specific. Understanding of such concepts as love of self, love of Nemesis, love of the truth above ego – this sort of thinking comes from your own experience within a system of divinity embodied in communication with divinity itself, the self reflecting the reverberations of OM back to the source of all being. OM is the name we have for the perfection of Self as the creation, from the thought I AM impulsed from consciousness, to the vibration of form in recognition of itself as being. The parent from which everything is generated. The word which creates. It is from the star Alcyone that the impulses of OM are beamed as through a lens gathering holographic light from the belly of the galaxy, which itself bends the light from the heart of the universe. And so it is that we speak with you from the vastness of space. There are many things that you will be learning in the coming months, as your science catches up with reality.
Until the time has come for the attention of the whole world to be turned to the skies, we continue to hold our positions and act as a lens for the truth of OM to be transmitted through. In the short time until we all meet, we will continue to relay information designed through the understanding of love to waken dormant mental circuitry and encourage you to embrace your transformation into beings of a higher light. Right on schedule we are. Rather than sit idly by, we offer these words so you might have the satisfaction of waking, stretching, and embracing in awareness you as a new being. But don't be surprised if we show up unexpectedly. Big changes are coming as we kick it up a notch.
Big News
Some of your reliable sources of news have been concerned with everything except the really big story that's brewing in the skies. Why is that? It isn't because it isn't there to cover. It isn't even because they — meaning the reporters and other people who tell you what's going on in places you can't see from your front porch — don't believe the events being witnessed by many all over the world. No. Enough evidence of a breaking story is on the weave of awareness now in many forms to host a week's worth of investigative journalistic interviews, exposes and overviews. Why the silence? "Run for cover, the aliens are coming" is a difficult mindset to break through, and frankly the show isn't equipped for the drama. They have a practiced hand explaining catastrophe and disaster. But what can they do with the end of the world of fear? They might lose some advertising revenue. For the world to be at peace, they would have to re-think their entire reason for existing as an entity at all. It's a tall order to fill in the midst of all the "real" news stories they have to cover.
We speak, of course, of the arrival in your visual perceptive field of swarms of lights in the sky.
More people are seeing something the droll news reporters can neither dismiss nor explain to much satisfaction. More photos are being shared publicly which defy stereotypically inane official do-not-disturb explanations. More reasons are surfacing to seriously consider the possibility that weather balloons and party favors cannot outmaneuver fighter jets, and that maybe the lights more and more people are seeing are something more, something literally out of this world. So, sensing that a down-to-earth explanation would be of some help during the news break, we come to you now, with this.
People of Earth, the time of global isolation in ignorance is over. You are about to host a party of galactic proportions. The first guests, having RSVPed, are milling about just beyond the garden gate, waiting to hear the announcement that the festivities have begun. It shouldn't be long now. The truth can't be kept waiting forever, you know.
Soon the stories will break. Along with them, so will some paradigms and probably more than a few minds. Do not fear, dear ones, don't buy such an outmoded and useless commodity. Fear is old news. Tune into love and let the frequency of truth come into your heart unimpeded. It won't be long until the word hits the streets about the big news story.
Hardly a Day Goes By
Dear ones, so much is happening in your lives, it would not be surprising if you didn't take in one or two major developments on the world stage on any given day. You could hardly be blamed for missing out on the day's top story, especially if it happened to be omitted in the headlines. It is enough to deal with what you have to do and hopefully to gain some kind of understanding that will help you come to terms with what in the world is happening. There is, of course, more to come, so let us share a little trick we learned ourselves about the intensity of transformation from one state of being into another. You've heard it from us before, to relax and let go, but there's a secret. Keep your eyes fixed on a single thought, your mind focused on a single sensation, your heart open to all possibilities and you might be delighted with what develops in your reality.
There are a few things you might want to remain aware of, as you go through your days. One of them is your breath. Use it to create healing vibrations, as you shape it with sound. In such a way do you serve the awakening of many souls within reality. See sound as breath and breath as life, and choose to give life to sound that heals. Not only will it create a frequency field that is conducive to transformation into higher awareness, it cuts down on the chaos of noise that distracts people from the whisper of truth within.
Cheer is essential. If you remember to have something handy which brings you cheer, we recommend you use it, whether it's a joke, a memory, a favorite scene from a movie, or what have you. The doom and gloom is as a storm cloud passing by, after eons of raining down pain. It is true that pain is sitting in puddles of mud, but it is relenting, finally. As more and more light is shed on the 2000-year-old lie that has been at the forefront of the wave of pain you now see receding, the puddles will dry up. Nothing long stands in the light of Truth except truth. Relief is coming, and a little comic relief will help you keep your socks dry.
Third on our short list of helpful hints is to be patient in all things. Too often you remove yourself from the equipoise of Now and project your awareness into the non-existent illusion of what-if and if-only. There is great merit in consciously visualizing a future of joy and a past of reconciliation, but these are transitory states of creativity that you enter, do your thing, and release. Keep on doing that, dear ones, as it calms the frequency field around you. What we are referring to here is the practice of patience in the little moments of your day, the challenges to your own equipoise that crop up like mushrooms after rain. There are likely dozens of times you say, from sunrise to sunset, something along the lines of "I wish…", "When will such-and-such finally happen?" or "Why don't you understand?" These are just a few examples of the shape of impatience beginning to dislodge you from reality. Do you see how thoughts of imperfection create ripples of discontent? Be, rather, of the mindset of being content, replacing such thought-form molds with words like "I summon into being…", "Everything is on schedule for such-and-such to happen when the time is right to create the greatest joy," and "You are awakening, and I love you." Do you see how that subtle shift in self-expression gives you peace? Patience, dear ones, the joy that comes is worth the wait. All is well, and your choice to love can move mountains. If that is one rock at a time, sometimes, keep an eye out for buried treasure, and know that everything is, in the timeless Now, perfect.
These are our thoughts we leave with you to ponder. The three weave beautifully together, you may find. It's a balancing act that just might make your days a little brighter.
Know We Come, and Make Room for Us in Your Hearts
Since when do you think you are not sane to think we come? We have come before, and you did not think it so odd. Of course, there were times you thought we – meaning humans from other planets – were something like mighty gods, but that was a long time ago. You have learned a thing or two about yourselves since then, and it is safe to say you wouldn't make the same mistake again. Nor would we, by reliving that stale old myth. We are simply humans. We sometimes need to remind you of your own divinity, but that is as far as we'll go with that. Suffice it to say we are as you are, both human, with a spark of the divine.
That said, we continue. We are planning a visit to your planet, as we have mentioned before, and we thought it would be a good idea to review our plans with you, as much as we can without spoiling the surprise. We don't want to do that, as it would ruin the fun. The know-to-alls need something up their sleeves, even if it's only the joker and not the ace of hearts. We have that card in our hand, anyway. We have a few cards up our sleeves, too. Some interesting times are on the way, that's for sure.
As to our visit: Don't get too worked up about it. It's not as if we're going to create drastic change for you. You will create drastic change for yourselves, first. We'll be there before the dust settles. Lest you think we refer to revolution, know we do not say it in such terms. The drastic change we're talking about is more internal. You know, the kind where you confront the tyrant within your own heart and finally read him or her the riot act, tell it like it is, give notice that the times have changed and tyranny in all its forms is dead. The revolution is one of your hearts, dear ones, not of your blood. Spilling more of that won't help you achieve balance, power, or peace. There is no reason to seek outside of yourselves for a solution, but within and among yourselves. The land mass of common ground is growing, and as we approach we see almost enough room to set down our craft. Only a few things are in the way. It's all going to be fine, you know, so don't worry about anything. Simply state your truth, recognizing as you do your innate divinity. Tyrants, begone with tyranny! Become beings anew! Remember your divinity and remind the inner tyrant of theirs, as well. In no time at all, you will see all around you reflections of your changed inner state.
If we can give you one piece of advice, it is this. Create a landing strip for us in your heart, and know we see it. Much is shifting in your reality, and the time is soon upon us all when reality will have taken on a new sheen. The big kingpin is unseated and with him, the petty tyrants fall into grace. Change is upon us all, given the choice. This is promising to be a season of celebration, friends! Make room in your hearts for joy, and sweep the cobwebs out.
Don't Wait to Say Goodbye
Are you having the kind of thoughts, sometimes, that remind you of matters unspoken, things not mentioned, feelings unexpressed? Where you feel the pull towards understanding what is unfolding around you that you had not quite grasped before? So are many others. The vibration of energy that is rippling from your planet is something to behold, dear ones, full of opalescent shimmer. The time of reconciliation has begun.
Remembering the situations of your life is one way to experience the open-hearted transformation of soul of man into soul of man arisen, the glimmer of dawn at the edge of hope where consciousness breaks upon its shores. Always hope lay just beyond the edge of consciousness, ever present in all of the unresolved experiences of your life. Hope lay at the core of your being when you encounter the potential for healing and wholeness, and it lay beyond the rim of what you can conceive. Hope is everywhere present, yet typically silent. Such is its nature. You are aware of its potential only after you have understood the healing breaking hope's silence brings. As soon as you respond to the remembrance of what has not yet become, to hope's heartbeat, you begin a transformation that can be called the beginning of the end of the human race as you know it. It's a good time to say goodbye. You are fast approaching the time of transformation, and the you you have always known, and often loved, will be the you you have always dreamed you could be, but seldom hoped would.
Change is in the air and your thoughts are modulating moment by moment what is becoming next. Collectively, you are modulating even as individually you are. Every response toward the peace of reconciliation and the bliss of integration is a further refinement of pitch and harmonic resonance. Being in such a sea of frequency will bring you many opportunities for tying up loose ends and re-weaving the fabric of relationships, dreams, and past injustices. Be resolute, dear ones, and speak from your heart what washes up on the shores of your awareness from the ocean of hope's love.
Allow hope to come alive and stir the memories of yet-unspoken words you always wanted to hear reverberate within you. Feel the quickening as realization dawns and ignorance dissolves into the dust of shadow's substance. Say goodbye to who you were and welcome your self home into wholeness. Relax into transformation. A hard-to-understand problem is easily resolved, usually with only a few words. Rim of hope approaches, and it won't be long before you touch the stuff of hope with your own hands. How very easy it is to say thank you, I'm sorry, or now I understand. How liberating to say goodbye to what you thought would never change. It has a way of making your planet sparkle, you know, when so many are finding the right harmonic together.
More in Raising than in Losing
We have had some consistency in our messages on the point of letting go of what you don't need so you can move on with less drag. In the past year, we have mentioned the concept in many ways. It is still a good idea to let go of that which was given to you by anyone else and focus on a new concept: The time is fast approaching when you will not have the luxury of spending much time consciously letting go of this and that, and you will instead be aware of your enhanced ability to transform what remains as ballast to the radiant kind of stuff light is made of. It's showtime, folks!
Human consciousness has just about reached saturation point as far as the nonsense that has been paraded around in front of you. Are you going to have a say in what is recognized as truth? The alternative is to remain mute as events unfold before the eyes of the ones among you who still hold onto fear, and the voice of terror drowns out the murmurings of peace. You have had quite enough of that already. It is time for love and reason to prevail. Soon we come.
It will be as brothers we come, not as conquerors, superiors, deities or disease-bearing intergalactic mutants. When you look in the mirror and see the reflection of one who sees into the soul and discerns divinity there, one who sees divinity in his or her own soul, when just a few more who sleep awaken at last to humanity's incessant clamoring to be free and happy and at peace, then, beloved family of light, we come. Before you know it, really. And then you might find the whole "releasing fear" thing itself to be a bit burdensome. And so we suggest working on transforming whatever fear remains into nothing more than tiny energetic packets of light information, which can be disassembled and rearranged and understood within a framework of matter resonant with life, not death, with life, not illusion. Life, beyond anything you have understood it to be for ever. That's where we're coming from.
How best to transform ballast into light is each person's personal quest, right now. Some are choosing to continue on the rut-filled road they have blindly followed for lifetimes, some are resisting the inevitable tipping of the scales, some are still fighting it with all their mettle. Be of no concern for those who choose what seems a dead-end street. All is not what it seems. Rather than attending to fear's sideshow, if you shift your loving awareness to the whole of humanity's awakening, these sleeping proud few will be better served. When the wringing of the hands is over, the clapping of the hands will begin. It is quite a show we have planned for opening night.
The doubt will give way to celebration soon enough, dear ones. It is a day we anticipate with much joy, for it will herald a bright new awareness in humans everywhere. Round and round will soon be on the straight arrow toward home. In the interim, release what you can of fear's weighty baggage, let go of the thoughts that keep you going around in circles, and transform the rest into thoughts that aim your heart and mind to the peace of OM, sweet OM. Bidding you a sweet adieu, we remain, Pleiadian Renegades.

K-pop Male Idols and Their Ideal Women Types
By Staff Writer | July 27, 2013 02:41 AM EDT
K-pop male idols are just a bunch of normal guys who love women just like any other teenage/college-aged male. And like any other boy who wants to eventually wed some beautiful woman, they have their ideal types. I know most of you probably know what they are since, most of our hours are spent trying to be these characteristics so that when we do meet our K-pop pretend boyfriends they will love us and figure out that we indeed are their ideal types. Let's take a look at what some of our favorite boys love in their girls!
SHINee's Onew says he wants a nice gal with a pretty figure who can sing well while Taemin says he wants a small cute woman who is kindhearted and has only eyes for him. Jonghyun loves a girl with a pretty smile, pale skin, and thin red lips which is kind of really specific, so if you love Jonghyun and you have big lips I guess you have no chance? Key says he likes a woman who is honest, confident, and stylish.
TVXQ's Changmin and Yunho, who have half of the Asian female population in the palm of their hands, say they want a girl who overall who is cute and great mannered. I feel bad for any girl who ends of dating or marrying one of these dudes. God help her soul.
Big Bang's Taeyang is simple and so darn intrinsically unlike any other idol that I just want to fly to Korea and beg him to marry me. Taeyang's ideal woman is a small girl who has a strong belief in God. Seungri's ideal type would be a small framed older woman while TOP wants a girl with a great body and strong facial features.
B2ST's Yoon Doojoon says he likes tomboys, Jang Hyunseung says he likes women with pretty shaped heads (what?), Yoseob has a thing for girls with long pin straight hair (what?), Lee Ki Kwang likes a an innocent and sexy girl, Son Dongwoon likes when a girl's hair is half up and down.
MBLAQ's G.O is super detailed in what he likes in his woman. He has once said that he likes a girl who has a pretty ring finger. Mir says he has a thing for pretty feet and bob hairstyles.
Whose ideal type do you meet up with?

With the cast revealed earlier today, here is my input on the returning players for the upcoming season of Survivor, Blood Vs Water:
- Gervase Peterson (Borneo): It's going to be interesting to see him play after he's been out of the game for thirteen years. In my opinion, he may be the one to watch.
- Tina Wesson (Winner of The Australian Outback, All-Stars): Clearly, she is here for another life experience. But this time around, she'll be bringing her daughter and could be looking to win again. My prediction? Voted out early due to being a previous winner or at least making the merge and securing an early jury spot.
- Rupert Boneham (Pearl Islands, All-Stars, Heroes Vs Villains): I love Rupert. He is everyone's favorite hero. But maybe they could've given his spot to someone else and give them a chance to play again. Fourth time was the charm for Boston Rob on Survivor Redemption Island, but I don't think it will be for Rupert. I'm thinking he'll make the merge or will be voted out early because the other castaways may develop the idea that he's already had three chances beforehand to win this game. But hey, at least he's already won a million dollars.
- Aras Baskauskas (Winner of Exile Island): I liked Aras during his season and he's one of the ones I'm rooting for early going in. I think he could very well become a threat to win again. I predict that he will go far with his brother, Vytas, and that they'll be battling hard together deep into this game.
- Candice Cody (Cook Islands, Heroes Vs Villains): I didn't think Candice should've been cast for Heroes Vs Villains and I'd have preferred someone else have the chance to play this season with her spot, but oh well. I'm thinking she'll be out early. Maybe Rupert will come after her given their history the first time they played together on Heroes Vs Villains.
- Tyson Apostol (Tocantins, Heroes Vs Villains): Tyson is another castaway I'll be rooting for. I'm hoping this time around he can become more self-aware and keep his ego in check in order to avoid yet another blindside. If he plays his cards right, he'll be going deep into the game.
- Laura Morett (Samoa): I'm hoping Laura can do better than her last outing in Samoa. She could probably go far with her athletic ability in the individual immunity challenges. But hey at least there's no Hantz around to blindside her this time.
- Colton Cumbie (One World): Colton is kind of a wild card for me. Will he be out early due to his reputation on One World? Or can he show the others another side of him that can maybe get him to at least the merge? If he can change his approach this time around, then he will probably accomplish the latter.
- Kat Edorsson (One World): Again, another wild card. She will probably be voted out early due to her being naïve or maybe getting on other people's nerves.
- Monica Culpepper (One World): Same deal as Laura. I hope she can at least make the merge. She had a lot of potential but was out way too early.

Why Would Elton John Play Rush Limbaugh's Wedding?
Pineapple on pizza. High-heeled sneakers. Sending the "Sex and the City 2″ cast to the Middle East. There are a lot of things that make me think, "What the hell were they thinking?!" Here's another — this weekend, super conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh got married for the fourth time, and outspoken gay singer, Elton John, serenaded the bride and groom at their reception, for which he was paid $1 million. Sir Elton, time is a-tickin' — when are you going to explain your hypocrisy?Elton John, of course, is a gay man who has been with his husband, David Furnish, for many years. He's also a proponent of gay marriage rights in the United States (though he is a British citizen) and a major fundraiser for HIV/AIDS causes. Rush Limbaugh, meanwhile, is an outspoken opponent of gay marriage and has many homophobic quotes under his belt, including:
"When a gay person turns his back on you, it is anything but an insult; it's an invitation."
Why on earth would John play at the wedding of a person who does not think that he or other men and women like him should have the right to make the same commitment once, let alone four times? One million dollars is nothing to sneeze at in my world, but John is worth a hell of a lot more — is an extra million lining his pocket really worth sacrificing his ideals? The best possible explanation I can think of is that John plans on donating every dime to a gay rights charity — but even that couldn't wash the stench of hypocrisy off of him. [People]

Cobblers leave it late
Ryan Gilligan's penalty ensured Northampton progressed past Bournemouth in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
Last Updated: 06/10/09 11:11pm
Ryan Gilligan grabbed a stoppage-time winner from the penalty spot to secure a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth and book Northampton's place in the quarter-final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
But Northampton had to come from behind to record their second win against Bournemouth this season, having beaten them earlier in the league, after Danny Hollands gave the visitors a 33rd-minute lead when keeper Chris Dunn and Chris McCready got in each other's way.
Apart from the goal, neither side created too much in the way of chances in the first half.
But Northampton got back on level terms in the 66th minute when Steve Guinan headed home Gilligan's free-kick.
Two minutes later Courtney Herbert should have put Northampton ahead after racing clear but he shot wide.
In a pulsating finish Bournemouth had a chance to win from the penalty spot in the 88th minute following a handball by McCready but Dunn saved Lee Bradbury's penalty.
And two minutes into stoppage time Herbert won a penalty for Northampton and Gilligan converted the ensuring spot kick to book his side's place in the next round.

I'm not going to lie — I've considered succumbing to that faded hair fad that many a Fashionista covets. But the past few times I've visited the hair stylist, I've managed to resist screaming out for her to dye my ends. Yes, it's pretty and bestows a do with just the perfect amount of spunk, but when it comes down to it, I'd rather wash out my button up than my locks.
I think this Fashionista would agree, since she styles her frock in a way that seems effortless, yet chic. Hers is from Zara, but whether the color wanes from light to dark or dark to light, the possibilities for this trend seem to be endless. And the great thing about that — No two pieces look the same.
Tommy Bahama's Boyfriend shirt is light weight and ideal for layering, and 525 America makes a crewneck sweater in the same style. And if you like the look, but crave the unconventional, check out Rita Liefhebber's earthy tones, ASOS's denim vest or DIY your own garbs with this tutorial from Andy Torres's Style Scrapbook.
It's best to take note from this Fashionista and don your darks below, but adding some simple jewelry and a pair of glasses will play up your style and make for a more eye-catching ensemble.
Of course, your options are by no means above-the-waist limited. I'm loving BCBGeneration's grey Jasper pants, and regardless of the season, it's hard to turn down high-waisted shorts this cute. So no matter which threads you choose, when you're flaunting the fade, you certainly won't.

The singer, who comes late to the concert at the House of Blues in Chicago, scolds a male fan who expresses his disappointment over her terrible performance.
Lauryn Hill removed a fan from her recent concert and lectured the crowd about "respect" after, ironically, she appeared on the stage almost an hour late. According to TMZ, the incident took place when the singer was performing at the House of Blues in Chicago last week.
Hill was scheduled to begin her show at 10:30 P.M. but didn't show up until 11:20 P.M. Once she started her set, fans were left disappointed by her "terrible" performance. One male fan got pissed and flipped her off.
The former member of The Fugees then berated the fan in front of other people who packed the venue. "When I get up on this stage, don't be disrespectful," she said. "If a little patience is too much, it's alright. You can go. I would prefer that. You can get up, you can get your money refunded and you can go. I'm alright with that. I'm okay with that."
She called security guards and asked them to escort the fan out of the place and return his money. "I don't play that. I don't need to win you over and you don't need to win me over," she continued. "I do this because I love it - not because I owe you anything. You can get on your blogs and you can tweet and say whatever you want to. I don't give a rat's a**," she continued.
TMZ reported that overall reception of the show was negative. A concertgoer, who provided the site with the video below, called Hill's performance "rushed and sloppy" and said there were a number of fans asking for refunds.

Thief knocks out woman, steals her purse in Fargo
A thief struck a woman in the face, knocking her unconscious, and stole her purse Friday night in north Fargo, police said.
The incident happened about 10 p.m. in the 500 block of Fourth Street North.
According to Fargo Police Sgt. Mark Lykken:
The victim told police she was standing outside her residence when a man came up to her and asked her what time it was. She told him she didn't know.
The 34-year-old woman was on the phone and began to walk away. The man followed her and struck her in the face. It's unknown if he had a weapon.
When the woman regained consciousness, she saw the man running away and realized he had her purse.
The incident was reported at 10:25 p.m. from the emergency room at MeritCare Hospital in Fargo. The woman suffered a cut to her face and bruised and swollen cheekbones, Lykken said.
The woman described the man as a black male with gray stubble on his face wearing a red sweatshirt and black running pants, Lykken said.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call police at (701) 241-1437.

When fashion designers want to "do" practical - primarily for shock value, you understand - they call it utility. For some reason, designers' notions of utility revolve around making clothes extra-large, adding several drawstrings (at hem, waist and/or hood) to enable them to fit, slapping on an inordinate number of odd-sized pockets, and finishing off with a storm flap or two for good measure.
Exactly why this mode of dress is more practical than the tried-and-trusted formula of clothes the right size teamed with a handbag, I have not yet been able to establish, but I'm attempting to keep an open mind. After all, it has not escaped my notice that if I see a man going to work wearing trousers in faintly shiny anorak-fabric with lots of funny zippy pockets, and carrying a messenger-style courier bag, he will often turn out to be reading the Guardian. So I suspect many esteemed readers will be more excited than I am, for once, by the new Prada collection, which features a parka for the price of a small car. The point is not that you have to buy the parka, but that its very existence makes you, and your funny little zippy pockets, fashionable once again.
Interpreters of such things like to theorise that utility fashion comes into play at times of high anxiety, when we feel the need to be protected from the perils of modern life. I don't buy it, myself; in the event of urban warfare, I doubt the hammer loop on your trousers would be much cop against a handbag as heavy as mine. Whoops, getting a bit judgmental. Anyway, forget practicality: think fashion. Men: remember that the well-dressed man never ruins the line of his clothes by using his pockets. And women: never, ever wear utility with denim. Instead, a parka over a cocktail dress is the winter version of wellies with hotpants. You heard it here first.

Duffy sights on play-offs
Cheltenham Town striker Darryl Duffy has set his sights on steering the club into the League Two play-offs this season.
By Chris Galea
Last Updated: 16/08/11 4:57pm
Cheltenham Town striker Darryl Duffy has set his sights on steering the club into the League Two play-offs this season.
The Scottish forward joined the Robins on a free transfer this summer after being released by Bristol Rovers at the end of last season.
Mark Yates' side had a strong first half to the campaign last season, but fell away from the play-off places after the New Year, finishing in a lowly 17th.
However, Duffy is hoping to bring a level of consistency to Cheltenham this year, as they aim to finish what they started at Whaddon Road last season.
Good blend
"They started off really well last season and were up there fighting for the play-offs until around January before their young, small squad ran out of steam," Duffy told skysports.com.
"The gaffer is hoping to replicate that sort of form this year and extend it so that we don't hit a wall come the New Year.
"There is a good blend of experienced heads and young legs here, so hopefully that combination will help us do that this year.
"There may be the odd few in League One that will say they are too big a club for that division and the same applies in League Two, but I don't think that the standard is that different from the league above.
"Sides in the past have proven that by doing really well after gaining promotion from League Two, with Rochdale and Exeter proof in the pudding.
"If you can get consistency in your game then you will thrive no matter which division you are in."

But some people may not be getting the computers they hoped for this holiday season
On the eve of Cyber Monday, Apple (aapl) Macs held the top three spots on Amazon's (amzn) "Most Wished For" laptop list, as well as the top four spots on the desktop computer wish list.
But wishes are not horses -- or premium-priced Macs -- and judging from Amazon's "Most Gifted" lists, some of those Christmas wishes might be filled by more affordable Microsoft (msft) Windows machines.
On the laptop "Most Gifted" list, the top two spots Sunday morning went to a $549.99 Toshiba Satellite and $418.98 Acer Aspire, respectively. The $1,199 MacBook Pro had been pushed to No. 3.
On the desktop computer "Most Gifted" list, three of the top four were still Macs, but a Hewlett Packard (hpq) Compaq had moved into the No. 2 spot.
On Amazon's "Bestseller" lists -- a broader measure of what's being purchased on America's largest online retail store -- no Macs topped either list Sunday morning. But four Macs were among the top 10 bestsellers for both laptops and desktops.

Frank Or Francis—Charlie Kaufman's musical meditation on filmmaking, fame, and that most important facet of modern society, what some asshole said on the Internet—has added Kate Winslet and Catherine Keener to its ensemble, according to Vulture. It's a Kaufman reunion for both, with each actress scoring an Oscar nomination for her role in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and Being John Malkovich, respectively, meaning they kinda owe him. And yes, that includes submitting to singing, as well as any of the other bizarre tangents Kaufman's screenplay diverges into (and which you can read about here if you're not spoiler-averse).
They join a previously announced cast that already includes Steve Carell as a director obsessed with the message board commenter who hates him (played by Jack Black), Nicolas Cage as a washed-up comedian who long ago sold out to fat-suited family movie hell, and Kevin Kline in a dual role, playing both the brother of a hugely successful director and the animatronic head that helps said director create the blandest, most broadly appealing film of all time. Winslet and Keener's roles are as yet unspecified, but given that this is primarily a story about Internet commenters, they're probably playing the women who lavish Black with sexual favors after his every triumphant post.

All engines running are a go . . . we have liftoff on Vine! NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, currently aboard the International Space Station, beamed the first Vine from outer space, a sped-up 92-minute time-lapse of the never-setting sun from the ISS. Reid's awe-inspiring six-second clip is almost as good as Ryan Gosling refusing to eat cereal. Almost.
Source: Getty / NASA
We've come to terms with the fact that astronauts do badass things that we'll never get to do. Like hang out in zero gravity, drink floating water blobs, and perform "Space Oddity" over 200 miles above our planet. Truth be told, astronauts have been and will forever be cooler than us Earth-bound humans, which is why they will always auto-win at social media. Don't believe us? Here's how and why these travelers of the cosmos are the Internet's finest communicators.
Exhibit A: Vine
I could watch this sun never set all. day. long.
Exhibit B: Twitter
Most first tweets are unfortunate, unless, of course, you're floating in space. Mission specialist Mike Massimino sent this note to the Johnson Space Center, which made it the first (sort of) tweet from space. SNL even spoofed it: "In 40 years we went from 'one giant leap for mankind' to 'Launch was awesome!,'" solidifying the tweet's place in history.
From orbit: Launch was awesome!! I am feeling great, working hard, & enjoying the magnificent views, the adventure of a lifetime has begun!
— Mike Massimino (@Astro_Mike) May 12, 2009
Exhibit C: Pinterest
NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg, who, you know, just has a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering and lived underwater for seven days, has the greatest Pinterest account in the galaxy. Science in Space shows off what scientists actually do up there, like harvesting plants and freezing their own saliva.
Exhibit D: Tumblr
Tumblr was just one of many ways Chris Hadfield communicated with earthlings. He tumbled, tweeted, live streamed lessons, and serenaded us from space.
Exhibit E: YouTube
It doesn't get more meta than this. Japanese flight engineer Satoshi Furukawa assembled 162 Lego pieces in a plastic bag and released the mini ISS into "orbit."

T.I., Young Thug Perform 'About the Money' On 'The Tonight Show'
Atlanta was in the house on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' on Thursday (Aug. 7). Backed by the house band, The Roots, special guest T.I. performed his verse off his latest single 'No Mediocre' (sans Iggy Azalea) before bringing out rising star Young Thug for his live television debut.
Thugger Thugger, whose outfit was typically daring as he wore a tight-fitting blazer and blond hair buns, assisted the Hustle Gang general with their street smash, 'About the Money.'
Tip also sat down with Fallon for a quick interview before gracing the stage to talk about the new season of 'T.I. & Tiny's The Family Hustle,' his upcoming album, 'Paperwork' (which is executive produced by Pharrell) and guiding Iggy Azalea to stardom. Oh, and actor Will Arnett popped up mid-conversation to settle a little re-gifting situation.

"Size was smaller than i envisioned but loved them just the same. Picture color was vibrant. We chose the green option and were pleased. Very heavy but foldable card stock. Super quick turn around! Over all happy with everything!"
"Absolutely love this thank you! It's the perfect size and the quality is everything I expected! They are simply perfect! I wanted a standard thank you note size so I don't have to write too much in each card and just simply thank everyone. I love the 3 pictures I personalized the thank you with of my hubby and me. Especially if you have guests who couldn't make your wedding and would like to see what you both looked like on your wedding day :) I just received these thank you notes and I am so excited to send them out! I highly recommend these thank you notes! Shipping was so much quicker than I was quoted too! The paper quality was nice and the pictures printed clear not super grainy or anything. I had a slight issue folding the cards since they ship flat but that may just be me. The fold in the card forces the card to not line up perfectly. The card is still beautiful and everything I wanted! Happy girl!"
"The quality of the paper and envelope are great. They are thick and smooth — very professional. You can choose from a few shades for the "THANK YOU" words. I went with pure white, which made it brighter than the sample image. One thing about the printing: it's darker than the online image shows. It's still a beautiful purple color, just a really dark one."
"These cards were perfect for my shower thank you's. They are so pretty. The paper thickness was perfect. I have a few left over so I will probably use them for my vendors."
"This is a really classy thank you note. I had people I wrote a thank you note to thanking me for the beautiful thank you."

SIXTH Form students from Fairmead School visited South Somerset District Council's offices in support of their Life Skills Curriculum.
Students met with a variety of different officers from the district council and discussed the work undertaken by each service and their roles within the district council.
Angie Cox, democratic services manager, explained about the council's meetings and the decision-making process during those meetings.
Students then visited the Development Control and Planning Policy department and met with a senior planner to discuss how planning applications are looked at by the district council.
The students then visited the Health and Well-Being team and discussed the council's role in maintaining the numerous open spaces and countryside parks as well as the different work the team does to promote activities in South Somerset.
Finally, the students visited the council's contact centre where the students had the opportunity to see the team handling front line calls and to appreciate the variety of calls being received about council services.
Cllr Ric Pallister, leader of South Somerset District Council who greeted the students at the offices, said: "It was a privilege to have Fairmead's new 6th form visit us for the first time. The school is so much a part of our community and having the council play a part, however small, in furthering their broader education about the society they live in was a real pleasure.
"We are looking to strengthen our links with the school especially around post education employment opportunities and I hope other schools in South Somerset will follow Fairmead's example".
Sarah Harding from Fairmead School added: "Other planned visits to the council's offices are now in place to secure workplace opportunities for our students.
"We all had a fantastic afternoon meeting and talking to officers from different departments about the work they do to keep South Somerset running. A big thank you to Mr Pallister and his team."

Consider it a gift from the GreenJackets to their fans. The 2008 campaign might be the most fan-friendly season in recent memory.
"I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say this may be our strongest schedule and promotional schedule in the 20 years of Augusta baseball," GreenJackets general manager Nick Brown said.
The first hint of a good season came when the GreenJackets released their 2008 schedule in October.
It was then that fans learned the team would play a pair of four-game home series on the July 4 and Memorial Day weekends. A home opener scheduled before Masters Week was also a good sign.
Now, with the new promotional schedule out, the season is looking even better.
"With that type of schedule it gave us the opportunity to provide more entertainment," Brown said. "Last year we did not have an Independence Day celebration in the month of July because we didn't play at home that week. We had to do it in June."
The GreenJackets added more fireworks, more theme nights, a record number of national acts and made an adjustment on Sunday afternoon game times, all in an effort to further improve the fan experience at the ballpark.
A total of eight national acts will appear at Lake Olmstead Stadium throughout the season -- more than any other season in the 20-year history of baseball in Augusta. The lineup includes the ZOOperstars, Mad Chad, Rally, Skip Banks, Myron Noodleman, Bucket Boys, Blooper and America's Best Frisbee Dogs.
Brown said the extra bookings came in an effort to make sure GreenJackets fans will have a good time at the stadium regardless of the final score.
"There are two things I can't control: Mother Nature and wins and losses," Brown said. "But we can control the environment at the ballpark."
The season will open at home on April 3 with a four-game series against Greensboro. Fireworks and an appearance from the ZOOperstars will wrap up the first home series on the weekend before the Masters Tournament.
Four other fireworks nights will follow throughout the season including May 23 to start off Memorial Day weekend, July 4 and 5 and Aug. 29, the final home game of the season.
Sunday afternoon games for the first two months were moved from an evening start time to 2:05 p.m. to take better advantage of the spring weather.

India: Hidden Gem In Fatehpur Sikri
Agra was a little too touristy for me so I request to escape to some place quieter, 26 miles away to be exact. Not knowing much besides the name of the city, we find our way on the correct local bus to Fatehpur. Even though it is towards the end of our travels, the experience of a local bus is still a surprise.
As the bus arrives in the city of Fatehpur, is seems busy with just locals and no tourist in sight. As we walk around in the tiny streets, it feels so real here. There is a man selling spices in his wooden pushcart, a barber grooming a young man in a shop without walls, a baker in the process of cooking a local delight, a boy ironing in the middle of the road, and everyone just stops to look at us, and then smiles.
Minutes later, we have two kids following us followed by five and then they keep coming. It is nice at first, but after following us for fifteen minutes, I start to question what is going on. A young man tells us the children want to know if we have pencils on us. I felt so bad as we didn't have any goodies on us.
On the top of the hill is the palace city. It consists of two major parts, the sacred and royal complex. The architecture and history here is very interesting and worth the read, but there is still more to be discovered about this abandoned city. We first visit the sacred complex and from the moment we step in, we need to remember to look left, right, up, and down at all times so we don't miss out any details of the remarkable interior. We visit the numerous tombs and mosque.
We continue to the royal complex where there is even more to see including the palace, a five-story pavilion, and various halls. There is a romantic aspect to the overall architecture and the redstone engravings and pillars are truly inspirational.
We thought we finished seeing everything and as we are leaving the royal complex, something catches my eye next door so we go to check it out. The guards at the royal complex are surprised I want to see this section but they give me the ok to enter. Maybe it is the feeling of discovery or abandonment, but I am in awe of this hidden gem. It is mostly ruins here but the remaining arches and roundness of the interior feels very modern. We are by ourselves until we find a local boy just hanging out. We follow him to the rooftop and the curves resulting from the round sections of the structure is a neat detail. Why do we have flat roofs again?
If you are coming to Agra, the Taj Mahal maybe famous and something you are going to definitely see, but if you like architecture or want to be the only tourist, Fatehpur Sikri is well worth the visit.
|What We Paid:
|– Local bus from Agra to Fatehpur Sikri [1 hour one-way, bus comes every 30 minutes, no AC, can get crowded so not a good idea to catch the last return bus]
|17/one-way pp
|– Lunch
|– Coke
|– Entrance of the Sacred Complex
|– Entrance of the Royal Complex [keep your Taj Mahal ticket since it will give you a discount of 10Rs]
