As Syria devours itself, UN dithers on aid
In a conflict where 140,000 people have been killed, including more than 7,000 children, while 250,000 civilians are still trapped in besieged communities, it must beggar belief to those unused to the geopolitics of the United Nations that a proposed resolution boosting humanitarian relief should be a matter of angry contention.
The draft resolution put before the UN Security Council in New York has the potential to be a game-changer on the ground.
It demands a lifting of the sieges, condemns starvation as a strategy of war, singles out the barbarity of the barrel bombs dropped on civilian populations by the Assad regime and, most crucially of all perhaps, calls for aid convoys to be allowed to cross the Syrian border from neighbouring countries such as Turkey and Iraq.
It also criticises opposition forces that have besieged areas, though on a smaller scale, and expresses concern about the rise of al-Qaeda-affiliated terror groups in Syria.
However, it is by no means certain that the draft will ever emerge from the Security Council.
The resolution, which was drafted by Australia, Luxembourg and Jordan, has exposed the longstanding division within the Security Council. Three of its permanent members, France, Britain and the US, are pushing hard for its passage because of the alarming deterioration in recent months of Syria's humanitarian crisis.
Russia, which has stymied efforts in the past to boost humanitarian aid and vetoed three previous UN resolutions on Syria, has again been resistant.
Two-resolution move
In intense negotiations in New York over the past week, Russia has complained that the Western-backed resolution is one-sided.
It assails the Assad regime, they claim, while downplaying what it sees as the rise of terrorism.
The Western nations argue they have come up with balanced wording.
What they are not prepared to do is use language that speaks of equivalence between the Assad regime and Islamist militant forces.
More than 80% of the Syrians living in besieged areas are prevented from leaving by government forces. Likewise, it is the Assad regime that is dropping barrel bombs on its own people.
"The balance is between getting a text that will make a difference," one senior western diplomat told me, "whilst at the same time getting the Russians on board."
To make the resolution more palatable to Russia, the threat of sanctions if the Assad regime refuses to comply has been removed. Instead, it speaks more vaguely of taking "further steps in the case of non-compliance".
Punishing the Assad regime would therefore require a second resolution, at which point the Russians could wield their veto. It is the same two-resolution formula used to get Russian backing for the Syrian chemical weapons resolution last September.
The sticking point is cross-border access for the aid convoys. This is non-negotiable for the US, France and Britain.
But Russia sees it as a violation of Syrian sovereignty.
"This is a direct contradiction of international humanitarian law and the provisions approved by the UN for the purposes of humanitarian operations," complained the Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov. "The UNSC will not create such precedents."
Western diplomats say that the resolution enshrines the principle of Syrian sovereignty, and the bringing in aid over the borders will make a huge difference to the people in need.
'Million-dollar question'
Moscow has substantially changed its position over the past two weeks. At the start of the month, it opposed any new humanitarian resolution. Now it has come up with a draft of its own, a much weaker document.
"The million-dollar question", according to one Western diplomat, is whether they will support the Western-led draft.
The Western powers claim they are looking for a resolution and not a Russian veto. One theory, denied by senior Western diplomats in New York, is that the resolution was designed to embarrass Russia during the Sochi Winter Olympics.
But it would not look good for Russia to exercise its veto as its showcase games are coming to a close.
They intended to bring it to a vote on Friday, before Sochi's closing ceremony on Sunday. As a concession to the Russians, who were calling for a delay, the vote has now been scheduled for Saturday morning.
The intentions of China, the other veto-wielding power on the Security Council, are unclear. It often sides with Russia, when Moscow opts for a veto. In negotiations it has been lukewarm to the resolution.
Westerns powers are clearly becoming more impatient. The Geneva talks have broken down. The conflict has intensified. In the space of less than six months, the death toll has risen from 100,000 to to 140,000.
Even as the warring parties met around the negotiating table in Geneva, the civil war entered one of its most brutal and bloody phases.
The recent evacuation of the besieged Old City of Homs, which the Russians originally argued showed that a resolution on humanitarian access was unnecessary, did not provide the basis for a long-term humanitarian solution.
It took 14 months to negotiate and affected only 1,400 people.
UN officials are adamant that a meaningful resolution is needed urgently. Will Russia allow it to pass?

WSOC: Duke falls, 2-0, at Florida State in ACC Tournament Quarterfinals
Posted November 4, 2013
Tallahassee, Fla. — The second-seeded Florida State Seminoles scored two second half goals en route to a 2-0 victory over the seventh-seeded Duke women's soccer team on Sunday afternoon in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals at the Seminole Soccer Soccer Complex.
"Obviously, it is disappointing to lose," said Duke head coach Robbie Church. "Congratulations to Florida State and we wish them the best of luck going forward. I thought we did some really good things in the second half, especially. We started connecting balls, we changed the point of attack and the speed of play was better."
Duke featured its first offensive action of the match in the 31st minute as senior Mollie Pathman sent in the Blue Devils' corner kick to the feet of freshman Malinda Allen. Allen, who is out of Memphis, Tenn., sent a shot at the corner of the goal that was blocked by Florida State keeper Kelsey Wys.
Off the rebound, senior midfielder Kaitlyn Kerr had a sliding shot that went wide left past the post.
With 10 minutes left in the first half, Pathman sent a great cross in from the left side and redshirt senior Kim DeCesare flicked the ball to Kerr, but was called for offside.
At the end of the first half, Duke featured only two shots by Kerr and Allen. Florida State attempted four with Blue Devil goalkeeper Meghan Thomas totaling one save.
Duke has featured only three shots in the first half of the last two matches against North Carolina and Florida State.
The Blue Devils featured a good chance for offense early in the second half as freshman Toni Payne fed a streaking senior Laura Weinberg down the right sideline. Weinberg, who is out of Boca Raton, Fla., crossed to Kelly Cobb, but her header opportunity went sideways.
Duke then had its best scoring chance of the match as Payne dribbled down the middle of the pitch and fed sophomore Kara Wilson. A product of Potomac, Md., Wilson found herself with a one-v-one opportunity against Florida State senior goalkeeper Kelsey Wys. Wilson, who had taken only three shots all season, used her right foot to send an attempt in, but Wys stuck her left hand out and blocked it.
"What a great little play," said Church. "Toni slipped her a great ball. Kara made a very good committed run. She went hard at the goalkeeper and made a nice save on it."
The Blue Devils then had a corner kick sent in by Pathman to a leaping DeCesare, who sent a header high over the crossbar.
Less than two minutes later, Duke took down an attacking Seminole on the outside of the box and was awarded a penalty kick. Isabella Schmid stepped up and hit the top left corner to give Florida State a 1-0 lead. Just 88 seconds later, the Blue Devils failed to clear the second of back-to-back corner kicks and Kristin Grubka made Duke pay as she fired in her second goal of the season to put the Seminoles ahead, 2-0.
"We gave up two goals within a minute and a half," said Church. "We lost focus, we made a bad decision on the defensive end, they got a goal. We lost focus a little bit and they scored a second goal."
The Blue Devils featured another excellent chance for a goal as Pathman sent in a corner kick that was kicked out to Wilson. The 5-9 midfielder flipped a ball to Kerr, who headed an attempt just right of the post at the 72:27 mark.
"I was happy how we finished up," commented Church. "We have time off now. We have about 10 days before the NCAA Tournament. We need a little rest, we need to come back do some things, especially from the offensive stand point. We are not far from being a really, really good team."
Thomas, who is from Castle Rock, Colo., collected three saves in goal for the Blue Devils. Duke was outshot 9-6 for the match as Florida State (16-1-3) advances to play North Carolina in the tournament.
Since scoring a season-high six goals against Pittsburgh on senior night, Duke has been shutout in back-to-back matches for the first time this season. With the loss, Duke (8-8-4) dropped its ninth straight ACC Tournament match being played away from home.
Duke will next await the NCAA Tournament selection show on Nov. 11 at 4:30 p.m.

Picking up where TERMINATOR 2 - JUDGEMENT DAY left off, THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES continues the epic battle of man against machine. Having successfully defeated one Terminator in the previous film, Sarah (Lena Headey, RIPLEY'S GAME) realises that the world is no longer a safe place for her or her teenage son John (Thomas Dekker, TV's HEROES). So she makes it their mission to bring down Skynet, the artificial intelligence system responsible for causing all this robo-mayhem. But how do you outmanoeuvre an ever-evolving technology that's hell-bent on wiping out the entire human race? With great difficulty, it turns out. Not only are they being hunted by a bunch of time-travelling, renegade cyborgs, but they're also on the run from the law. Salvation comes in the form of a human-friendly Terminator named Cameron (Summer Glau, SERENITY), who befriends John and serves as their protector. FBI Agent James Ellison, who is originally assigned to capture the Connors, ends up joining their resistance against Cyberdyne Corporation, the company behind Skynet.

Bloomberg BNA — California and Mexico have signed a bilateral pact aimed at advancing cross-border investments in clean energy.
Signed July 29 by California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) and Mexico's Secretary of Energy Pedro Joaquin Coldwell during the governor's trade visit to Mexico City, the agreement calls for the two governments to work together in developing and deploying renewable energy, biofuels and other clean energy technologies.
The agreement also includes a commitment to explore integrating Baja California Norte into the California energy market and to support expanded markets for clean and energy-efficient technologies, including manufacturing and transportation.
"By this agreement, we intend to work together to dramatically increase solar, wind and other renewable investments,'' Brown said in a written statement.
On July 28, Brown signed a similar memorandum of understanding with Mexico's Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Undersecretary Rodolfo Lacy and the Mexican National Forestry Commission Director General Jorge Rescala Perez to cooperate on policies to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
Mexico, California 'Strategic Partners'
"Mexico and California have a long and rich history of environmental cooperation, and recognize each other as strategic partners in coping with climate change challenges and protecting and preserving our natural resources,'' Lacy said in a July 28 written statement. "The agreement signed today will take our joint work to a whole new level of cooperation, which will reflect in tangible and concrete results that will inure to our mutual benefit.''
Under the climate MOU, the governments will work to align their greenhouse gas reduction programs and strategies; collaborate on fire emergency response along the border and other climate adaptation strategies; improve air quality; strengthen fuel and truck efficiency standards; and support green freight initiatives.
California also will share with Mexico its experience in developing a carbon emissions trading program and other market-based climate policies and work to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, according to the climate pact.
"California can't do it alone and with this new partnership with Mexico we can make real progress on reducing dangerous greenhouse gases,'' Brown said in a July 28 written statement.
Effort to Learn From Each Other
Natural Resources Defense Council's Ann Notthoff, who is part of the broad delegation traveling with the governor, said the climate pact is an opportunity for California and Mexican to learn from each's efforts to curb pollution.
"This California-Mexico agreement is exactly the type of international collaboration we need to combat the global threat of climate change,'' Notthoff, NRDC's California advocacy director, said in a written statement.
The energy and climate agreements are similar to the two other pacts Brown has signed committing California to cooperate and advance climate policies.
In 2013, the governor signed an agreement with other West Coast states and British Columbia to form the Pacific Coast Collaborative.
Brown also signed a pact with China's National Development and Reform Commission to collaborate on climate and air quality policies.
All the MOUs focus on information sharing, joint research, joint seminars and workshops and building capacity and technical support to develop and implement climate change policies.

I googled it and found you had to use ifile to fix it. However I did not install ifile before and I could not get Cyder2 to work (Google it). So I tried to use ifunbox to do this and realize it recognizes it as jailed. I find out you have to download a package for this, which I cant do due to broken cydia. I then try to rejailbreak and it then tells me to open the evasion7 app on my ipad. however the app crashes. I then deleted the app and tried again. 5 tries later it still doesn't work. So basically I have a "jailbroken" iPad that I cant us or restore due to evasion. Any help please? :-(

Boy Finds Grenade Easter Egg
April 9, 2012 by staff
Boy Finds Grenade Easter Egg, A British Army bomb squad detonates a grenade found near children at an easter egg hunt on Sunday. Nobody was injured. An army bomb squad rushed to an Easter egg hunt in England on Sunday after a 3-year-old boy found a live hand grenade.
Eagle-eyed Stuart Moffatt, 34, — who was there with his wife and three kids — saw the child standing over the World War II-era explosive at the Holford, Somerset event. He began moving several pre-school-aged children away from the looming danger, the Daily Mail reported.
"We were beginning to count up the eggs at the end of the hunt and I saw a boy of three standing on an object," Moffatt told the paper. "It was brown and about 4 inches high. It looked like an Easter egg, but it was a hand grenade — I was shocked. The boy who was standing on it thought it was a rock."
Moffatt immediately alerted organizers, prompting the bomb squad to descend on the field, cordon off the area and close a local highway, the New York Daily News reported. Soldiers safely detonated the grenade after everyone was clear.
About 25 children aged between 2 and 5 were hunting for eggs at the event, organized by a pre-school group, according to This Is Somerset.
Trucker Paul Gibbard, 40, whose daughters were hunting for candy-filled treats, said the explosive was likely from a shuttered military base in Holford.

How to Fix Embroidery Realignment Problems
October 02, 2013
The last few articles I've written have explored different first aid techniques for "healing" embroidery mishaps. Now, let's look at the most difficult type of repair: realignment of your embroidery work. This goes beyond simple repairs to more time-consuming, tedious mending.
The need for embroidery realignment usually arises for one of three reasons: the machine moves off pattern, a repair was recently made or the item was removed from the hoop. Let's look at each of these issues in detail and how they can be overcome.
An Off-Pattern Machine
An embroidery machine moving off pattern often occurs because of restriction to frame movement. This can easily happen on smaller machines, especially singleheads. Any object, such as a cone of thread, can fall in the wrong spot and cause the frame to hit it and make it move off pattern. I have even caused this problem by leaning against a machine.
Fortunately, today's machines are more advanced and have features to correct such problems. When I see that the machine has shifted off because of a restriction, I first correct the problem and then turn the machine off and back on. Then, I follow the same procedures listed in my manual for recovering from a power failure. This typically realigns the frame back to a fixed point: either the beginning of the design or the exact stitch position when I turned the power off. If the machine was jammed and had moved off pattern before I powered down, it probably didn't know this was the case, and will recover to the correct position.
Post-Repair Realignment
The second reason to realign your work is after a repair has been made. It is important to leave the design in the hoop, as this will make the alignment process a lot easier. If the garment is left in the hoop, it will be fairly well-aligned and no additional realignment often is needed.
Sometimes when I am making repairs, I will remove more stitches than are needed just to make the alignment less precarious. For example, rather than replacing one letter in a word, replace the whole word. That way if your alignment isn't perfect, it won't be noticeable.
When realigning work that requires the frame to be nudged one way or the other, it is important to remember how the frame operates. You basically are dealing with two directions: front-to-back and left-to-right. When aligning the frame with the design, focus on one direction at a time.
I trace the design forward and backward over parts that already have been sewn. As I trace, I keep an eye on one direction at a time while checking alignment. Once the design is tracking left and right properly, I work on the front-to-back alignment. The key is to slightly nudge the frame ever so often as you track a direction until it follows along the existing section perfectly.
Item Removal from the Hoop
The final need for realignment also is the most difficult. This is when the item has been removed from the hoop (either intentionally or accidentally) and has to be reframed and realigned. In these cases, not only do you have to deal with the alignment process I just described, but also with getting the item back in the hoop aligned squarely the way it was before it was removed.
I find it helpful if there is some sort of straight edge available when I re-frame the item. Sometimes I stretch a piece of tape across the hoop and align it with the marks on the hoop to give a nice straight line. This helps align the parts of the design that had been previously sewn with the hoop as it is being framed. The key is framing the item as straight as possible compared to the existing parts of the design. Once it is framed, simply trace back over the parts of the design that had been sewn and move the frame a little at a time until it is lined up properly.
Repairing items that have been moved off pattern is one of the toughest types of repairs you will have to accomplish. The satisfaction of reparing these pieces is not just rewarding financially (by not having to replace an item), but also emotionally, knowing you have risen to the challenge to conquer it. While I don't enjoy having to overcome these particular types of challenges, I take great satisfaction when I can repair a piece to the point where no one could ever tell there was a problem.

GREEN-fingered schoolchildren have planted poppies and other wildflowers to mark the centenary of World War One.
The youngsters from Woodchurch High School sowed the seeds as part of a project aimed at remembering those who lost their lives in the war while growing students' interest in gardening.
Year Eight pupils were tasked with designing the World War One themed garden at the school – set in the heart of the Woodchurch estate – with 13-year-old Craig James coming up with the winning design.
Teaching assistant Sue Goddard – the brains behind the concept – said: "I came up with the idea of the garden after visiting Tatton Hall flower show last year. We had just started a gardening club and I thought it would be great if we could get our pupils interested in gardening.
"One idea was our Year eight pupils could design a commemorative garden with the theme of World War One which would also link the Year Eight's history curriculum during the centenary of the war."
After choosing the winning design, Sue recruited a host of volunteers which included members of the local community, staff, pupils and parents to carry out the garden's construction.
With funding from Wirral Life Long and Family Learning Centre and help from the school's visiting horticulturist, Carol Seery, work on the garden began in March.
"The volunteers met regularly on alternate Saturdays preparing the ground – weather permitting – taking up turf, pushing wheelbarrows full of soil back and forth and planting up the bedding plants."
Staff and students from other curriculum areas in the school also helped, with the garden finally completed on June 28 – Armed Forces Day.
The garden was designed by 13-year-old Craig James.
As well as being a day to show support and recognise the sacrifices and efforts of the Armed Forces and their families, June 28 also marked Woodchurch's open day, which featured a special visit from the Birkenhead branch of The Royal British Legion.
Woodchurch will continue its commemoration of 100 years since the start of World War One with a Year Eight remembrance assembly on July 15.
There are also plans for a poppy picnic with local primary schoolchildren who also run gardening clubs.
The school is also hoping to plant 100 poppies around the garden in time for Armistice Day.

Hamas's military wing, Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, moved to restart rocket attacks against Israel over the weekend, but a dispute with the political leadership of the organization prevented the plan from being carried out, the London-based Asharq Al-Awsat reported on Tuesday.
After last Friday's Israeli airstrikes on Hamas compounds in the Gaza Strip, the military wing came to the conclusion that it needed to retaliate, according to the newspaper, but the political echelon demanded that it stand down.
Last Saturday, The Times of Israel reported that Hamas's military wing withdrew its forces from the border area where they were engaged in restraining other terror groups from firing missiles at Israel. The move was seen by many in Israel as Hamas giving the green light for smaller organizations in Gaza to fire at Israeli targets.
However, Asharq Al-Awsat cited sources in the IDF's Southern Command who claimed the Hamas decision to withdraw its prevention units came after the military wing had already decided to begin rocket fire itself.
Without the anti-rocket force in place, it was up to the political leadership to put the brakes on the plan.
In January, government figures show, Gaza-based terror groups fired three times as many rockets at Israel as during an average month in 2013. These included 20 mortar and rocket attacks on Israel's southern communities, two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) set off on the Gaza-Israel border and two incidents where the IDF stopped militants attempting to launch rockets.
Most of the attacks were carried out by fringe groups operating in Gaza who sought to undermine the Hamas regime, the security establishment determined, according to Israeli daily Maariv.
The anti-rocket force was established last July. It numbered 600 men at first, operating round the clock, but was more recently bolstered to 900, underlining Hamas's desire to avoid an escalation of violence with Israel.
The Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Sarasota County staff, working with the Sarasota County Sheriff's Work Offender program, is scheduled to begin clean up operations to remove dead fish on Manasota Beach, 8570 Manasota Key Road, Manasota Key on Friday. The dead fish are suspected to be the result of a red tide bloom located off shore in the Gulf of Mexico.
"Fortunately at this time of the year we don't have large crowds on the beaches so that makes it a little easier for our work crews to access the beach and clean it up as quickly as possible," said Sarasota County Parks and Recreation Manager George Tatge. "Unfortunately, communities all along the gulf coast have to deal with varying levels of impact from red tide."
Sarasota County lifeguards are reporting moderate to high respiratory irritation at various beaches. County staff will continue to monitor all public beaches for impacts of red tide and will respond as the need arises. Residents and visitors can still enjoy the beaches, however, those with asthma or chronic respiratory ailments need to be aware of current beach conditions. For those who are susceptible, the symptoms associated with red tide tend to become more noticeable when the winds are blowing on-shore.
Visitors and residents can get the latest beach conditions by calling 941-BEACHES (941-232-2437) or visiting Mote Marine Laboratory's online beach conditions report at www.mote.org/beaches.

- Good steering and handling
- Tough suspension is ready for light off-roading
- Impressive occupant safety
- Three different engines to choose from
- Four-cylinder engines can be coarse
- Interior is quite basic for the price
- Road noise
With good performance and enviable safety, the 2008 Subaru Outback remains the top choice for families who value practicality but want a little more toughness.
The 2008 Subaru Legacy Outback lineup for 2008 has been streamlined, with all wagon body styles of the Legacy sedan now given the rugged treatment, picking up a raised heavy-duty suspension and body-side cladding that hints at greater brawn. (The 2008 Subaru Legacy sedan is covered under a separate review.)
For 2008, the Outback also gets a revamped exterior and interior, with new front sheetmetal, a larger grille, new front and rear bumpers, and new headlamps and taillamps.
The 2008 Subaru Outback is offered in a wide range of models now ranging from the basic 2.5i up to the sporty XT Limited and luxurious L.L. Bean Edition and VDC Limited. The 2.5i and 2.5i Limited models get a 168-horsepower, 2.5-liter horizontally opposed ("flat") four, while the 2.5 XT and XT Limited upgrade to a high-performance turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four making 243 horsepower. And at the top there's a 245-horsepower, 3.0-liter flat-six powering the 3.0R, 3.0R L.L. Bean Edition, and 3.0R VDC Limited. All said, the price ranges from about $22,000 for a base 2.5i to well over $35,000 for a loaded L.L. Bean.
Subaru models with the base engine have either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, while XT models have either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic, which includes Sportshift paddle shifters. At the top, the six-cylinder engine comes just with the five-speed automatic. Across the line, the Outback models get all-wheel drive and have up to 8.7 inches of ground clearance, which may prove very useful in deep snow or mud.
With the base engine, the 2008 Subaru Outback has adequate power with a light load, but if you plan on hauling a lot of stuff or driving in the mountains, the engine can feel taxed. It's made worse by the four-speed automatic, which can shift abruptly and has rather widely spaced gears. The turbocharged engine in the XT is the most responsive, with none of the turbo lag that sometimes plagues turbos, but the six is the smoothest and most refined.
Models with the turbocharged four or the six-cylinder engine get SI-DRIVE, a system that has three different modes that allow throttle response, transmission shift, and other characteristics to change from smooth to sharp as desired in the 2008 Subaru Outback.
Despite having the heavy-duty suspension, Outback models handle very well on the road, with crisp, rather communicative steering and not much body lean; ride comfort is quite good as well, but road noise can be an issue inside. Seating in the 2008 Subaru Outback is comfortable for five normal-sized adults, though front-seat occupants might find headroom tight with the available moonroof. A telescopic steering wheel is newly standard for 2008. Overall, the interior is rather basic but attractive with matte-metallic materials and mid-grade plastics. There are no overt luxury pretenses here, except in the top models, which pile on the convenience features and upgrades.
Top 2008 Subaru Outback L.L. Bean models get a navigation system, upgraded heated seats, dual-zone climate control, leather trim, and a six-speaker sound system. Some of the latest expected tech features, such as a Bluetooth interface, an iPod interface, and live traffic updates, aren't available.
The Subaru Outback has received top five-star results from the federal government in both frontal and side impact tests. Anti-lock brakes, front-seat side airbags, and active front head restraints are all included, and the availability of the electronic stability control system has been expanded for '08; it's offered on all but the base 2.5i.

This pattern was created after my Dad requested an Animal muppet mascot for Christmas and I couldn't quite find the perfect fit. I have written out these instructions for anyone who may want to try to make one too!
The trickiest part of this pattern, the head is thanks to Cabi's fantastic adaptation of djonesgirl's Muppet Glasses Holder
I have copied Cabi's Animal head here and can honestly say I would never have managed to make this Animal without her pattern!

SATANAS Is God
The creator god was originally called Atum in the West and in the east. An was an ancient name of the creator in the east. Its Anu spelled out in full and Anu means Atum in Sanskrit. However the Pyramid texts Atum is TAM. This is also Tammas in the east and Tammuz as well.
Atum had a hidden name that was the mantra formula of the deity. Who is the divine spark that transforms the soul.
In the Egyptian texts. The SA is the hidden god as its the mantra of the Sun, which comes from the letter SAN [Sanskrit means sun script]. In the east SA is placed at the throat chakra and called the name of the god of creation. SA is the sun as Ather the hidden sun that all life is, Ather is the element of vibration, light, form and number. And its SA.
TAM is properly TAMAS however this is an N. Its TANAS, which will be shown here. SATANAS is the proper name of the creator god Atum. The hidden God [SA] then the rest is the name TANAS. SATANAS. SA means Sun and Tanas means black. SATANAS=The Black Sun among its different conceptual meanings. TANAS is also TAN and you can see what HA SATAN, really means.
The creator god was called The hidden god Atum. Which is what HA SATAN is. The [HA] hidden god [SA] TAN [Atum].
The Black Sun of the Aryan's was not some spooky thing. It was the name for the source of existence. They worshipped it in Egypt as the ATON [ATUN/ATUM] which the proper name of is shown here the SATANAS. This solar disk is the highest symbol of God from Egypt to India. The creator god is a serpent deity as well. Hence SATANAS also being the serpent. The ATUN is shown as the solar serpent.
You can see them worshipping SATANAS in ancient Egyptian spiritualized images:
TANAS is given the Tau cross, the oval on the top of the Tau making the Ankh is the symbol of the RU the mouth of creation the word of creation. Which is SA, the throat chakra SA is placed is the symbol of the Vak the spoken word of creation. Many times the SATANAS is shown with the rays holding Ankh's to the worshippers. The Ankh is the symbol of immortality and enlightenment. SATANAS is the formula of the Ankh.
HA SATANAS is shown as the power which transforms Osiris into ascension and immortality.
As I wrote here:
The Jews Backhandedly Admit Satan Is The True God
Numbers are letters and letters numbers. Satan as stated before is a Sanskrit word, Sat-an means God Eternal. In Sanskrit 100 is SATAM since the M and N are the nasal the M and N are interchangeable, SATAN. In the Jewish gematria HA SATAN is given the number 365 the number of the solar year. 365 is the number given to the sun god in the west. However the number One hundred is also the number of the sun. Showing SATAN is the name of the sun God. Which is always the King and ruler of the Gods. This is why the golden or solar age is the Satya age. And the name of the Aryan Religion was the Satyam.
The serpent of Satan is another symbol of the sun as well. The spiritual sun and enlightenment by the serpent of Satan.
HA like Satan is a Sanskrit word. HA means "The" HA SATAN means "The Enemy" in Hebrew. But in the original and proper Sanskrit the original language which predates Hebrew. HA SATAN means "The God Eternal". Here even the Jews admit SATAN is God Eternal and this makes them mad, right in their own trash religion. The Jews admit Satan is God Eternal. And they have been warring on this Truth for thousands of years. They wish to rewrite history and society so they can pretend to be god themselves. Which can be seen in their garbage Torah which is full of curses against the enlightenment of Gentiles and is designed to bind Gentiles to spiritual darkness on the soul level. So the Jews can rule the ruins.
HA SATAN, The God Eternal, is the enemy of the Jewish race. The Jews are the declared enemy of God Eternal. Since the title of SATAN as God Eternal also relates to the perfection of the soul and its full enlightenment the Jews are enemies of spiritual enlightenment and freedom as well. By their own declaration and deeds. They really are just criminal trash who want others to be enslaved in spiritual darkness and suffering.
The Gnostic's and their Remains. Charles William King.

New York • It took less than six months for some of the most feared investments to get investors to reconsider.
At the start of this year, much of Wall Street expected trouble ahead for long-term bonds. The bond market had just posted its first losing year since 1999, a result of rising interest rates. The conventional wisdom was that rates would only climb higher, and long-term bonds would bear the brunt of the impact.
But the opposite happened. Rates have dropped since January, and long-term bond mutual funds have been some of the best performers. Funds that focus on U.S. government bonds with an average maturity of more than 10 years have recorded an average return of 11.2 percent. That's the most among the 32 bond-fund categories that Morningstar tracks. Mutual funds that also own long-term corporate bonds have returned 6 percent. That's just ahead of stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 index.

The cut-throat barber in 'Sweeney Todd' is allegedly being picked by Terry Gilliman, the director of 'Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus', to replace Heath Ledger following his passing.
Missing their leading actor Heath Ledger due to his sudden death last Tuesday, January 22, it was reported that the helmer of "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" Terry Gilliman chose Ledger's friend Johnny Depp to replace him. According to reports, the eccentric Captain Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean" series was hand picked by the director for the role.
A studio source told The Sun, "Johnny's not working at the moment so everyone is praying he will do it." Still, it was mentioned that though the role would be given to the actor, Ledger's take on the film won't be re-shot. The insider explained, "There is a point in the film when Heath falls through a magic mirror. He could change into another character after that and that is where Johnny would come in. It's a weird, fantasy, time-travel movie so Heath's character could easily change appearance. It would be a poignant moment."
Depp, whose latest movie "Sweeney Todd" nominated for Academy Award, is currently involved with Michael Mann's crime drama "Public Enemies" alongside Christian Bale, while his two other projects "Shantaram" and "The Rum Diary" are put on hold because of the writers' strike. On the news related to Ledger, The Sun reported that three days before his passing, the "A Knight's Tale" star had a furious bust-up with the film's bosses because they refused to reshoot a scene which he was unhappy with.

Despite an unending stream of FUD being hurled at the Surface tablet, people who have bought it seem pretty enamored with their purchase, according to reviews piling up on BestBuy.com and Staples.
Microsoft launched the Surface tablet in its retail stores, all 65 of them, before expanding to Best Buy (1,900 stores total) and Staples (1,400 stores) earlier this month.
So far, sentiments for the device are fairly positive. On Best Buy's website, the Windows RT tablet sports a 4.7 out of 5 rating, based on 28 customer reviews. Only one customer was unhappy with the device and rated it one out of five stars.
"No Outlook so not full MS Office, all other tablets have version of word, excel, and powerpoint, so very disappointing," wrote customer gates77. He liked screen customization, but also noted "Battery life wasn't to [sic] good and typecover isn't as good as some logitech keyboards. Can't load any of my windows 7 programs."
The most popular feature about Surface RT seems to be Windows 8. "Windows 8 runs like a charm, the Windows Apps Store is growing by the day and I am able to use all my favorite apps such as iHeartRadio, NY Times, USA Today, Kayak, Netflix, Endgadget, eBay, ESPN..." wrote Cricketer from New York on Staples.com.
"The live tiles are a great innovation," wrote Philipm785 of Atlanta. "They provide genuinely useful information without having to launch the apps and the multiple sizes and custom groupings that can be easily scrolled and zoomed are way easier to get around than the multiple screens of tiny uniform icons you get on iOS."
The hardware is also receiving kudos. "It's a perfect laptop replacement for those who don't need lot of processing power. Don't wait for the surface pro. The battery life is all day," wrote desiboy of New York on BestBuy.com.
"I gave away my Android tablet after using this for a while," wrote MZach of NC. "The keyboard and touchpad are unobtrusive but there when you need them and the keyboard has cursor keys!"
Even people giving 5-star reviews have complaints, include volume output, the "primitive" email app, lack of apps and x86 support, Flash support in IE10, and the price itself.
It's encouraging to see, but I'm actually not totally surprised. Early adopters tend to be enthusiasts. As it moves beyond the early adopter stage and away from Microsoft enthusiasts into the mass market, that score will drop as more cons pile up. We'll see what people say when the much more expensive x86 models arrive next year.

Sunday's scouting report: Brewers at Pirates
Pirates beat reporter Travis Sawchik'sinside look at Sunday's game:
• Yovani Gallardo has already started three games against the Pirates this season but has not factored in a decision. In 18 1⁄3 innings against the Pirates, Gallardo has allowed 14 hits, struck out 18 and has posted a 3.48 ERA. He has allowed three home runs. Gallardo has evolved to rely less on velocity and more on an assortment of offspeed pitches.
• In a departure from his career numbers, Charlie Morton has been more effective against left-handed batters this season, which is unusual since the fastball-dependent right-hander lacks a reliable changeup. Morton is holding lefties to a .212 average, righties to a .257 average. The Brewers' lineup skews heavily right-handed.
The Buzz
It would not be a surprise to see Starling Marte held out of the lineup for a sixth straight day Sunday as Marte is a career .188 hitter vs. Gallardo. Marte has struggled mightily this season but Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said a demotion to Triple-A is not on the table.

For this edition of #PAWAFilmForum, Pawa254 will screen the award winning documentary film 'As Old As My Tongue – The Myth and Life of Bi Kidude' by Screen Station Productions with Busara Promotions in celebration of her 2nd anniversary.
The Pawa254 Film Forum is committed to showcasing independently produced, often non- commercial work that has little opportunity of reaching the general public; highlighting social, political, cultural and historical realities. By featuring the voices and visions of truly independent media artists from Kenya and beyond, we aim to expose diverse audiences to a range of artistic expressions, cultural perspectives and critical inquiries.
An intimate portrait of living legend Bi Kidude, probably the oldest singer on the world stage today. Her home island of Zanzibar has long been a meeting point for black African and Arabic influence. The island's music is its most potent expression.
Bi Kidude beguiles audiences wherever she travels but domestically she continually courts controversy, her behaviour challenging perceptions of the role of women in a Muslim society.
As Old As My Tongue reveals the dramatic contrasts in the life of this iconic musician and features a classic soundtrack spanning one hundred years of Swahili music.

'In the Heights': Chasing Broadway Dreams
Beginning at a small off-Broadway theater, a group of talented young artists, led by composer/lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda, produced an original musical that some have called a modern day West Side Story — a Latin and hip-hop-infused musical odyssey telling the story of a neighborhood and the first-generation Americans who call it home. Opening on Broadway in spring 2008, the musical went on to win five Tony Awards — including Best New Musical. Great Performances follows the cast and creative team as they embark on the greatest adventure of their young careers.

Missing plane found east of Mahnomen; officials ID pilot's body
CLEARWATER COUNTY -- The body of Andrew Lindberg was found this morning with his downed plane in a remote, wooded area on the White Earth Indian Reservation about 4.5 miles south and 2 miles east of Naytahwaush.
Deputies from Clearwater and Mahnomen counties reached the plane this morning, said Jeanine Brand, Clearwater County's attorney and public information officer.
The crash site is near the intersection of state Highway 200 and Height of Land Forest Road in the White Earth State Forest.
This morning, National Transportation Safety Board officials were en route to investigate the crash. Lindberg's family was at the scene, including his wife, Kate, and his father, Bill Lindberg, said Mahnomen County Sheriff Doug Krier.
Since Saturday morning, the state's Civil Air Patrol had mounted its largest air search in recent memory for Lindberg, 32, formerly of Hallock, Minn.
He was flying Friday night from Lakeville to Hallock to go deer hunting with his father, Bill, and others. The last contact he made was a text message from his cell phone to his father, who was waiting at the Hallock airport, saying he was over Staples, Minn., about 6:30 p.m.
A Minnesota State Patrol helicopter was sent up this morning to help steer ground crews to the crash site, which is near where the counties of Clearwater, Mahnomen and Becker all converge.
Tom Hill, a pilot from Walker, Minn., said he was flying his own Cessna 172 around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday when he spotted Lindberg's plane from an altitude of about 300 feet, noticing the tail fin sticking up out of a brushy, wooded site. On another pass, Hill said, he got within 50 feet of the treetops and could see a burned area around the plane, but no broken branches, suggesting the plane came in straight from above.
Hill said he later showed the site to Mahnomen County Sheriff's Deputy Paul Brehm. The appearance of the wreckage suggested that there was little chance the crash was survivable and that a nighttime rescue in the remote area would not have been safe, Krier said.
The helicopter directed ground crews to the site this morning, who had to get in on foot. A logging tractor had to be used to lead in searchers. Officials identified Lindberg's plane by numbers on its tail, Krier said. It seemed evident that Lindberg died on impact, Krier said.
Hill, who spotted the wreckage, was not part of the 18-aircraft Civil Air Patrol search involving 80 trained volunteers that flew over nine counties Tuesday, including Mahnomen. The CAP effort also involved five ground crews that check out leads from aircraft crews.
Lindberg was a new pilot flying a Piper Cherokee. The text message bounced off a cell tower between Staples and Wadena, on what would be a pretty straight line between Lakeville and Hallock, CAP officials said.
The weather in the area on Friday night was not good flying weather, CAP officials have said, with clouds and some rain reported.

Prosecutors respond to donation allegations
Sandra Chapman/Eyewitness News
Indianapolis - The Marion County Prosecutor's office denies any connection between its decision to reduce a murderer's sentence and accepting thousands in campaign donations from that same convict's father.
Paula Willoughby walked out of the Indiana Women's Prison last June - 30 years earlier than expected - after hatching a murder for hire scheme that led to her husband's death.
"This was a well-planned, well-plotted murder conspiracy," said Gary Miller, a former Marion County judge who initially sentenced Willoughby to 110 years.
On appeal, the Indiana Supreme Court cut it to 70.
Then, in 2006, as her attorneys sought to negotiate the sentence down to 40 years, thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from Willoughby's father began pouring in for Prosecutor Carl Brizzi, $29,000 to be exact.
Brizzi says he didn't know Willoughby's father, Harrison Epperly, was behind the donations from EMSP Realty, but wouldn't answer questions Monday.
"Absolutely, it creates an appearance of impropriety. The question is, 'Was it improper?' The fact that it was done at the time, at the same time campaign contributions were made, makes everybody in the process look bad," said Miller.
Including Brizzi's Chief Trial Deputy, David Wyser, who signed off on the reduction. He received a $2,500 donation from Willoughby's father last year for his Hamilton County bid for prosecutor.
He says the money came three years after a letter was sent saying he would be open to the reduction and long before he entered the prosecutor's race. He denies knowing anything about the large sums going to Brizzi.
"No, absolutely not. Absolutely not," said Wyser.
According to Wyser, it was an unusual set of circumstances that led to the deal, including the fact that one of Willoughby's sons was killed by a drunk driver, leaving another son with no immediate family members.
"Given the fact that the shooter was acquitted and didn't do time and the co-defendant was sentenced to 35 years and had been released in 2004, that also played into the fact that the least culpable was not going to be serving a sentence much longer than the other two," explained Wyser.
The only stipulation was that Paula Willoughby serve her 40-year murder sentence. With time for good behavior, that meant she would serve 20 years in prison.
Brizzi's only comment came over the weekend.
"We have people who make contributions to prosecutors and legislators and businesses, so this is the kind of stuff that happens and when there is an issue, then the right thing to do is to return the contributions, which is what happened in both cases and move on," he said.
According the Department of Correction, Willoughby shaved an additional two years off her sentence with educational credits by earning an Associates Degree and completing a vocational training program.
Statement from David Wyser
Wyser sent Eyewitness News the following statement regarding the donations:
In 2005, I was approached by an attorney, James Bell from the firm of Bingham McHale, and he contacted me in regards to the modification.
In the summer of 2005, Paula Willoughby's son was killed by a drunk driver. She still had another son Jeremy. Jeremy was left with having his father murdered in 1991, his brother now killed by a drunk driver, as well as his mother being incarcerated. So he was left without any immediate family.
There was a lot of support and requests by his family members, in fact some of the documents that were provided to me were verified statements and affidavits, from the victims mother, step-father and brother, all supportive of Paula's release in 2005. I contacted Ms. Willis, that was Darrell Willoughby's mother and spoke with her in early 2006, to confirm that was in fact her desire.
That given consideration, and also under the current law the conspiracy to commit murder along with the murder, those two counts were merged. The Supreme court gave the sentence of 40-years for murder, and 30-years for conspiracy to commit murder back in 92, and when she was sentenced, ran consecutive to one another.
In 1999, under the Richardson case the law had changed, where those two counts would actually merge. And therefore she would only serve a 40-year sentence.

Judge Miller who was the judge who did the sentencing, stated at her sentencing, and I'll quote, (this was in the first opinion of Willoughby vs State) Judge Miller stated, "I mean to state that the relative involvement if you had to label the most culpable of the three, mid-culpable and least culpable, as far as their actions are concerned, I think probably you'd get a unanimous decision that Mrs. Willoughby committed the least amount of acts, that directly caused the death.
Given the fact that the shooter was acquitted, and didn't do time and the co-defendant was sentenced to 35-years, and had been released in 2004, that also played into the fact that the least culpable was not going to be serving a sentence much longer than the other 2 parties that are involved in this.
So taking all of this into account, the sentence that was given to her, the terrible and tragic issues for Jeremy you know being left without mother, father and brother..and the sentencing laws. I took all of that into consideration and I advised James Bell and Kevin McGoff, the two attorneys back in 2006, that I would be amenable to her release and modification after she served her full 40-year sentence. So that's why I agreed to that in 2006.
