Abstract : An improved technique for the active control of various combustion devices. This improved technique employs a flame kernel pulse actuator which produces periodic flame kernels by a spark ignition of a stoichiometric air and fuel mixture upstream of the combustion chamber. The discrete flame kernels are convected in a duct of premixed fuel and air which produce discrete pressure oscillations due to the energy release as each discrete flame propagates. Because the source of the energy release is essentially a chemical reaction, the flame kernel pulse actuator is able to produce a substantial amount of energy release even at the high operating pressures which are often encountered in many operational environments. These pressure oscillations may be adjusted to suppress or augment any combustion induced pressure oscillations as well as act to modulate the mixing layer between the fuel and air, thus controlling the downstream combustion process. jg p.1

His next confirmed letters were the Exorcist Letter and the SLA Letter, and it may just well be that all these four pieces of correspondence were interlinked, before ultimately sending us the final key, when he mailed a card from Eureka, CA sometime later, hence the name, the Eureka Card. One cannot help thinking, that this card, devoid of his handwriting, was the Zodiac Killer giving us an unexpected solution to a earlier problem, in the form of two photocopied keys, lets say his Eureka moment. But it may just have started with the Halloween Card sent to Paul Avery.
Paul Avery was heavily involved in the reporting of the kidnap of Patty Hearst (19), a newspaper heiress, taken hostage on February 4th 1974 by the Symbionese Liberation Army, an urban militant group. She later was to be viewed as a sympathizer for the group, after her involvement in a bank heist along with other SLA members. She was caught on film, on the bank's cameras on April 15th 1974 brandishing a M1 Carbine, appearing a willing participant in the robbery.
Seen on Wikipedia, it is notable from the first paragraph, that Paul Avery was " best known for his reporting on the infamous serial killer known as the Zodiac, and later for his work on the Patricia Hearst kidnapping". The Zodiac killer evidently knew this, responding with the SLA Letter ten days after the kidnapping, stating "Did you know that the initials SLAY (Symbionese Liberation Army) spell "sla", an old Norse word meaning "kill". a friend". Additionally, this letter and the Halloween Card has been the subject of comparison many times regarding the mailing date, not only being the 14th, but Valentines Day, lending to the val and lav connection, albeit reversed. However reversing or flipping text was not unusual for the Zodiac Killer in his later communications, attested by the 13 Hole Postcard and Pines Card. So we now have definite connections to Paul Avery through the Los Angeles Letter, Halloween Card and SLA Letter, so all that is left to do is connect Paul Avery to the Eureka Card, mailed in the December of 1990.
The link may prove tenuous, but what we do know about this card, is that it starts with exactly the same line as the Halloween Card, 'From Your Secret Pal' and therefore can be regarded as a sister card, but it held an important clue, a Xerox or photocopy of two keys on a chain.
Bearing in mind the Zodiac's ability to flip or reverse his text in his latter correspondence, it would not be surprising if the Xerox was suggestive of such an approach regarding the Halloween Card, such as the lav in Paul Averly being reversed to give us val once more, or maybe not. The fact of the matter, is that 'I have not found it', the key to the solution remains elusive, but I still remain positive about the negative.

Katherine Webb Credits ESPN's Brent Musburger to Her Fame: 'I'm So Lucky'
Katherine Webb became an overnight sensation after ESPN's Brent Musburger singled her out in the stands during the BCS National Championship game.

According to a report in The New York Times, Boston Red Sox sluggers Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz both were among the 104 players who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003. If you'll recall, the Red Sox beat the Angels in the playoffs in both 2004 and 2007 on their way to World Series titles.
At the time, players were told that their tests would remain anonymous.
While the revelation is far from jaw-dropping — Ramirez already served a 50-game suspension for using PEDs and Ortiz has been linked to a trainer accused of supplying them — it is another blow to the game. Baseball has seen virtually all of its positive story lines swallowed up by doping scandals. The Red Sox's 2004 title was the franchise's first in 86 years.
The Times names a "lawyer with knowledge" of the list as its source. It would appear the same lawyer continues to leak out big names to the Times in small doses.
Ortiz declined comment to the Times. Ramirez is with the Dodgers finishing their series in St. Louis. He has remained largely mum after he was busted for using a female fertility drug that can mask steroids' effects.
Five other players have been linked to positive tests in 2003: Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa, Jason Grimsley and David Segui.
Incidentally, ex-Angels pitcher Bartolo Colon used the same trainer as Ortiz, Angel Presinal, who is now banned from major-league clubhouses.

I have been thinking about monks a lot lately. Not the "blaze orange wearing, nun-chuck carrying" kind. Instead, I am talking about the "crawl off into a cave with their Septuagint" type.
One of our stops on the tour de force through Turkey was Kapadokya, or ancient Cappadocia. Admittedly, this area is one of the strangest landscapes I have ever visited and boasts terribly unique landforms. It has an arid climate and would probably be classified as a desert region. The region is pocked with valleys, and each valley is littered with dozens of large rock towers shooting up into the air. The resulting impression is a desert valley full of rock trees.

Press Release
Jakarta, March 7, 2017 - Transparency International launched the Global Corruption Barometer (GCB). GCB is a portrait of corruption eradication performance based on public perception and experience in each country. The results show lawmakers across the region need to do much more to support whistleblowers; governments must keep promises to combat corruption, including their commitments to meet the Sustainable Development Goals.
Jakarta, January 25, 2017 - Indonesia consistently shows improvement in eradicating public sector corruption. This consistent improvement will only produce an immediate result if accompanied by real measures from all parties to strengthen business integrity in the business/private sector.
Kuala Lumpur. The weakening of Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the criminalization of a number of anti-corruption activists, drew attention from the 16th International Anti-Corruption Conference (IACC) participants. An international solidarity to fight against the poor-performed politicians and law enforcers that are constantly threatening KPK and the anti-corruption activists through the exposure of oligarch interests and corruption-derived assets, was proclaimed by a delegate from Indonesia's Anti-Corruption Civil Society Coalition on the first day of the conference.
Representative of Civil Society's coalition consists of 125 people from 85 organisations from Aceh to Papua, under the Anti-corruption National Movement, met on 26-27 Feb 2015 in Depok-West Java. The objective of the meeting was to discuss the situation regarding the movement to weaken KPK, the weakness of law enforcement and the threat against corruption eradication agenda in Jokowi's government and ministries cabinet.
Jakarta. Yesterday morning President Joko Widodo has inaugurated Taufiqurrahman Ruki, Johan Budi, and Indrianto Seno Aji as Acting Commissioners (Plts) of the KPK. With the inauguration, President Joko Widodo has either conscious or not led this dying anti-corruption agency into its death. The placement of any Plt who has a poor track record and potential conflicts of interest will internally paralyze the KPK and making it a tool of political interests and legal protection for corruptors.
Jakarta. The decision of President Joko Widodo to appoint the acting chairmen (Plts) of KPK is a time bomb for the destruction of this anti-corruption agency. The effort to place the candidates with poor track records clearly endanger the handling of various cases by the KPK and the spirit of eradicating corruption in the public eyes.
The Concern Statement of the Coalition of Anti-Corruption Civil Society Against Presidential Decree of Joko Widodo
After a long wait, President Joko Widodo finally took a stand related to the inauguration of Commissioner General of Police (Komjen (Pol)) Budi Gunawan as a police chief candidate. Unfortunately, President Joko Widodo said nothing about, or at least indicated an intention to stop, the criminalization of the Corruption Eradication Comission (KPK).
The Indonesian Government Should Ensure The Anti-Corruption Commission Is Free From Political Interference
Transparency International, the global anti-corruption organisation, and its chapter in Indonesia support the independent anti-corruption commission, known as the KPK, and call on the President of Indonesia Joko Widodo to publicly endorse the organisation's independence and allow it to carry out its work free from political interference.
Youths from seven Asia-Pacific countries unite in the fight against corruption and commit to driving for change
Siem Reap, 13 January 2015 - Gathered at the first ever International Youth Camp on Transparency and Integrity organised last week in Siem Reap, Cambodia, youths from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Vietnam, Cambodia and the Philippines expressed their will to fight against corruption in their countries and in the region and took concrete steps to carry this fight forward.
November 10, 2014 –Indonesia should commit to make it much harder for the corrupt to hide behind secret companies, Transparency International Indonesia said today.

I had the worst wreck of my life this past Monday.

I had the worst wreck of my life this past Monday.
Apr 25, 2003 4:46 AM
This is not really a cycling related post so I will add a cycling/this post question at the end. I am not trying to
share any pain or beg sympathy. I am, rather, suggesting
you consider the implications of having a training plan for
the cycling year without planning for life.
Monday afternoon I was taking a break at work thinking of
possible routes for the afternoon ride. It was sunny, lower 70's, with a bit of a breeze. . . a nice day for a good workout. About then the phone rang; hmmm, ex-wife, she never calls me at work. Turns out my oldest son, Michael, was being admitted to the hospital for some tests. This is not alarming to me at the time because he had been sick for a couple weeks and we were worried he might have mono or something. By the time I find the room at the hospital the Doctor is just heading out the door. He followed me back into the room asking me if I would like to sit down; ex-wife tells me to sit down. The amber "This
can't be good" light started flashing on my internal control panel. I sit, not to say I ever listened to her much a long time ago. So I go from planning where to go for a two hour ride, one hour with the heartrate up around 170, to hearing someone tell me my son has leukemia. WHAT BIKE!
So, my cycling related question: How can I keep riding?
Everyone tells me I have to keep riding; it will help me
through this or something. And I can understand the point,
but how can I ride and have the desire I did on Sunday?
Hug anyone you love and spin the wheels a couple time for this end.
When someone you love is sick, etc., nothing else matters
Apr 25, 2003 5:29 AM
If you ride more, the same, less or not at all, you and your son will know what's right.
You're in our thoughts and prayers.
My prayers go out to you and your family
Apr 25, 2003 5:48 AM
I'm sure the whole RBR community wishes your son a full recovery.
Try though to continue to set aside the time to ride. It will help you remain sane and healthy during this.
Keep Riding, but remember this...
Apr 25, 2003 5:56 AM
Your son's health is #1. Never let your riding compromise you being there for him.
Ride to help keep you fit, physically and mentally. Some of my best thinking time is on the bike. Riding can be therapeutic.
It isn't all or nothing... You don't have to have the enthusiasm of last Sunday. A little riding enthusiasm is better than nothing. Just make sure you ride safe.
Hope everything with your son turns out for the better.
re: I had the worst wreck of my life this past Monday.
Apr 25, 2003 6:02 AM
I am very sorry to learn that your son has leukemia. I can't answer your question "how can I keep riding?"--I suspect only you can answer that. Perhaps you might want to subject the ride/no ride question to a benefit/cost test. Biking may very well help you help your son (by helping you clear your head and think things through). But it might not. Also, I guess I would suggest making sure if you do ride you are able to devote enough mental energy to the ride itself--when I am preoccupied, I sometimes do very dumb things on the bike.
The other thing that has helped me when I have been in situations loosely analogous to yours is google. There is an unbelievable amount of high quality medical information on the web. I have found that, if not exactly power, having this knowledge helps in coping, understanding the doctors' actions, and making better decisions when the doctors give options.
I hope this helps. Good luck.
Wow. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers
Gregory Taylor
Apr 25, 2003 6:28 AM
As for the answers to your questions, I think that you have your priorities exactly right: "Hug anyone you love and spin the wheels a couple time for this end." The answers to you bike questions will become self-evident if you keep your own wisdom in mind.
re: I had the worst wreck of my life this past Monday.
Apr 25, 2003 6:42 AM
God bless you, your son, and your whole family. Unfortunately, you're going to have a while to figure out the answer to your question. Don't rush it. You'll know what to do.
It's a long frustrating road
Apr 25, 2003 7:07 AM
About 27 years ago when I was fresh out of high school, my sister (21 years old) was diagnosed with leukemia. While she wasn't my daughter but a sibling, I know what you're going through.
Battling leukemia is a long and frustrating fight. The shock will wear off with time, but the frustration of seeing your loved one sick becomes a wall between you and the rest of the world. Expect to cry for no reason at any time, it will happen. You will need an outlet to help work through what you will be feeling. I found that riding my bike removed me from the immediate situation and let my mind float (I still use riding as a form of meditation to this day). Your riding motives will undoubtedly be different now; speed, heartrate, distance will become things that you used to focus on. But do keep riding because it will help you work through it.
Leukemia treatment has progressed a lot since the mid 70s and I pray that your son is able to pull through it.
God bless you and your family.
Being the father of two teenaged daughters, I would....
Apr 25, 2003 7:17 AM
suspect this to be the second worse news someone could get and have to cope with. I don't think I need to mnetion the first. I hope and pray this is something your son can pull through. He definitely needs you at this time and he must be your number one priority. Your family will need you to be both mentally and physically stong to help them. 12 years ago my father died and I had to become the "Male" of the family, making all the decisions for my mother and siblings. The little time I had to myself became a time to run or bike to relieve the stress I was experiencing. I thought it was better than being depressed or achohol. Sort of like going into a room closing the door and shouting. Be strong, your family needs you with a positive outlook. Life will go on so you need to enjoy whatever it tosses at you for this very short ride on this plant. Ride because deep down inside, it's you.
No explanation.
Jon Billheimer
Apr 25, 2003 7:31 AM
There is simply no explanation why bad things happen to good people, especially our children. My heart really goes out to you, your son, and your family.
There of course is no answer to the riding question, as others have noted. You just have to process your shock and your grief and then refocus your resources. Do what feels right. You and your son are in our prayers.
My prayers are with you and your family....
Apr 25, 2003 7:28 AM
...through this hard time.
Remember that all of here at RBR are pulling for you, your son, and the rest of your family, even though we've never met. We're a community and communities look out for each other.
Just DO IT. It will be cathartic. Hang in there. (nm)

If you want to keep riding, consider using the bike as a fundraiser for the Leukemia society. It may be comforting to your son to know that dad is actively involved in helping find a cure.
Best wishes to your son.
So sorry to hear this, every parents nightmare...
Apr 25, 2003 8:17 AM
Take your time. The wind has been pulled from your sails for now. You may be adrift for some time.
Sooner or later it will come back, only you can know when the time is right to get back on the bike. Stay healthy and I hope your son makes full recovery soon. Modern medicine can work miracles... look at Lance.
Apr 25, 2003 8:52 AM
I just said a prayer for your son and your family. Keep us updated on how things are going. Been thru some similar things, and I know how in 1 second your thoughts and priorites change. One day at a time my friend. SM
One thought.
Apr 25, 2003 8:56 AM
I did the Lake Tahoe Century with the Leukemia Society's Team In Training last year, and some may be turned off by the numbers of people doing those events and fundraising, but we had a patient hero for our cycling team and perhaps you nominate him to be one also. I know during our training season, we had about 3 or 4 events where the hero was invited (our hero was a 6 yr. old boy just about at the end of his three year treatment program) and we had a picnic at his house one Sunday afternoon that both he and his mom loved. Our hero didn't have a bike of his own, so a team member donated a very gently used bike and he couldn't have been more excited. The fundraising was not my cup of tea, but with a personal involvement, it may not be as bad. We also had a survivor on our team that didn't do Lake Tahoe, but did and finished one, locally near Atlanta.
Good luck and my thoughts are with you. Keep us posted.
be strong.
Apr 25, 2003 9:02 AM
for michael and the others. to give, you must have some. riding could be your moment of strenghtening your body or calming your soul. if they need your time, don't ride.. if you need riding for your soul, go for it. it's good for everybody that you keep yourself strong.
My hopes are with you and yours.

I can understand your feelings, i had the same myself over my daughter's illness (thankfully not cancer related) some years ago.
I did ride to clear my mind, to help me drop all the other things from my heart and soul before I went in to see my little girl.
For you, there is only the answer you will find within yourself. Do NOT take any "spare baggage" with you, you are responsible only for yourself. If anyone tells you how selfish you are for thinking of yourself "at a time like this", ignore them.
Best of luck to you, Mike

My wife was diagnosed with lymphoma nearly two years ago. After my world stopped crashing down around my ears, I joined Team in Training. TNT is part of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. They use the money raised in fundraising to help people beat these diseases. Fundraising isn't fun, but it gives me a purpose when I'm out training for the TNT rides now.
Only the best to you, your son, and the rest of your family.
Call Leukemia Society..not just for TNT
Apr 25, 2003 11:15 AM
I think calling Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is a good idea, and not just for TNT. A BIG part of their mission is to support patients and families of patients with blood-related cancers. This is from their website (www.leukemia.org):
"The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services. The Society's mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Since its founding in 1949, the Society has provided more than $280 million for research specifically targeting blood-related cancers."
My understanding, form having been involved with TNT, is that the society does a lot to support families in a lot of different ways.
My thoughts are with you and your family.

Six years ago, my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. Within a span of 6 weeks, she had a masectomy and started chemotherapy, we had to move into a new house with my wife still recovering from surgery, our new home was bombarded by trees in Hurricane Fran, and then my mother died. Chemo treatment lasted about 6 months, and I pretty much had to do everything around the house during that period because my wife was so weak she could barely walk up the stairs.
We got through it, and my wife apparently has beaten the cancer. It's tough experiencing periods like this, but you'll get through it stronger than ever. Just remember what your priorities are. Your son (and wife) will really need your support. If you haven't read Lance Armstrong's book, It's Not About the Bike, get a copy. You'll gain a lot of insight from it, and your son might as well (if he's old enough). My wife read it, and she could care less about cycling, and she really liked it.
Let others know
Apr 25, 2003 12:23 PM
One of my work colleagues has a child with significant health problems. During the first year of the child's life, he didn't share what was going on at home. We thought that his mood changes, etc. had something to do with us. Once we knew what the issue was, it became a lot easier for us to give him the support and space that he needs. Don't be embarassed or reluctant to ask for help or support. You will need it and most people (even including a@@hole work colleagues) are more than willing to give it. And, be explicit about your needs -- the worst thing is for people to want to help you and to be doing exactly what you don't want or need.
Insofar as riding is concerned, if it makes you feel better do it and if it doesn't, don't do it. The important thing at this time in your life is to do whatever you need to keep yourself going.

You must stay on the bike. In the 80s my little brother got me into cycling and was the best friend I have ever had. He got married and we saw each other less but still stayed close. Five oclock one morning I got the call from his wife and he was gone. I stayed away from the bike because of the painful memories for a decade. I got back into it because another person in the family died and I inherited his master light Colnago. I love cycling and wish I never left it. You need to stay healthy mentally and physically for your family now. Cycling is a great way to help both of those ways now.God bless you and yours.
A Bit of Cycling May Provide Some Semblance of ...
Apr 25, 2003 4:43 PM
...normalcy in a world that probably doesn't make a lot of sense right now. Just that 1/2 or one hour on the bike might just be enough to give you some time to "turn off" from the realities of a difficult situation while re-charging you mentally and physically. I continued to run while my mother had cancer when I was quite young and it was the one part of the day (or part of life) that I could "control" to some extent. Like other posters have replied, just do what feels right but, from my experience, don't feel guilty or ashamed to give yourself that small amount of time (on the bike or wherever) that will enable you to cope as well as to help your son. Good luck and my thoughts are with you.

re: I had the worst wreck of my life this past Monday.

After 9/11 (I live in NYC) I couldn't bike because it just seemed so ludicrously frivolous. I also think I didn't want to feel the guilt of enjoying myself when there was so much grief. My wife lost some co-workers that day so she was feeling especially sad. I just couldn't do it. Took a little while.
Don't listen to your friends, listen to your heart. If you don't feel right about it don't do it. While it's definitely okay to ride your bike, I'm sure your son or wife wouldn't object, events like this put everything in proper perspective and cycling just falls from the list of important things.
Keep the faith, this will work out in the end. This leukemia your son has has been beaten before and it will be beaten this time as well, don't you doubt it. My best wishes and prayers to you and your son.

So sorry to hear this happened to your son - you - and your family. This stuff comes out of the blue and wiil throw you for a loop. Last year after my routine physical I was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer - same family of disease as leukemia - at age 47. It took many months to work through the emotional issues - fortunatley I had a lot of support. For months I had a voice in my head saying "you've got cancer" like that stupid AOL email voice.
It will take time to get over the shock - but the worst thing you can do is curl up in a ball. Try to maintain part of your schedule and your sanity - riding is a great release. The most important thing you can do is learn everthing you can about the disease and current treatments. Be there for your son - do the things he likes to do. And the most IMPORTANT thing is find a great doctor - this not the time for amatuer hour - or getting stuck with some hard-headed assh0le.
I've been very lucky and am responding to treatment - I wish the same to you and your son.

Skip to comments.How to tell a bad tree
Posted on 01/22/2009 11:18:13 PM PST by EternalVigilance
Simple logic:
Jesus said "by their fruits ye shall know them." We take this to mean that a tree is bad because its fruit is bad, but in fact it's not a statement about what determines the objective condition of the tree. It's a statement about the empirical basis for our knowledge of its condition. If the tree bears bad fruit, it's a bad tree. Any fruit that comes from it is bad, since a bad tree cannot (does not have the power to) bear good fruit.
Christ's assertion seems contrary to possible human experience. Don't we find bad cherries growing side by side with good ones? If we remember the story of Adam's fall from Grace, however, we can easily understand Christ's instruction. Eve looked at the fruit of the tree of knowledge and judged it to be good based on her (human) faculties of perception and understanding (it looked ripe and luscious and good for food.) But according to the word of God, the tree was bad. Eating its fruit meant death. God's word reflected the objective nature of the tree with respect to Adam and Eve. For them, it was a tree of death. The badness of the tree was not caused by the fruit. Rather, the objective nature of the tree gave rise to the badness of the fruit.
So how can we know that a tree is bad; by judging its fruit in light of God's word rather than relying on information derived exclusively from our own faculties. Using Obama as an example, one of his fruits appears to be making sure that abortion and infanticide are sanctioned as right and lawful. God's will for us condemns the taking of innocent human life. Obama's fruit is contrary to God's will, and therefore bad. But a good tree cannot bear bad fruit. Therefore Obama is a bad tree. This means that all his fruit is objectively bad; however it may look to us. We cannot cherry pick the fruit of a bad tree once we have determined its objective condition. This puts the lie to the actions of those so-called Christian leaders who think we can support Obama when he does what is good, and oppose him when he does wrong. According to Christ's criterion, no fruit that he produces can be good. Though it looks good, and may produce what seem to us to be good results, according to Christ's rule of moral reasoning, his fruit is bad because he is bad.
If we had the time to step back and take in the whole picture, we would better understand the sense of this. Back in the 1930s Adolf Hitler helped revive the German economy, reduce unemployment, improve the infrastructure, encourage scientific research and development and many other "good" things. Each such "good" policy increased his popularity and expanded his support, contributing to the cult of adulation that empowered him to implement policies of holocaust and aggression. Those policies morally depraved the German nation, and plunged the world into total war. Objectively speaking, the elements of German society that accepted what they saw as good results from the Fuhrer made Eve's mistake. Of course, they didn't realize the truth until Germany lay in ruins, defeated and literally demoralized.
I think the difference between God's knowledge and ours lies in this: he has intrinsic knowledge of the objective condition of each tree at every moment, even before its fruit appears. Our objective knowledge depends on our experience. In his word he tries to share the fruits of his intrinsic knowledge with us. But since his guidance arises from a way of knowing that transcends the preconditions and categories of our understanding, we cannot know with certainty that his guidance is correct until our experience verifies it. Of course, if the experience involves our destruction, the satisfaction of certainty won't last for long. Is this one reason the Psalmist declares:
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes
(Psalm 118:8-9)
I wonder if Alan Keyes would be open to dialogue with Rev Manning?
Rev Manning speaks the truth, too.ATLAH MINISTRY,NY.,NY.
I believe it was Ayn Rand who said that in any compromise between Good and Evil, Evil always wins.
Great big BUMP for this article!
Thank you for posting it.
Alan Keyes gets it right again. Nothing good can come from a man like BO. Nothing.
I said it yesterday in a response, my faith is in God. To put it anywhere else is futile.
The Bible also says to cut down a bad tree and burn it. A tree that has its roots tapped into a source of evil can never be good.
I've been listening to Rev Manning for a while now and he's on the ball. He is one pastor that perhaps the MSM might not quite "get" but his act is totally together and he tells it like it is. I'm a big fan of his.

The next iconic building in our Building Blocks series may not be very tall but is instantly recognisable, The National Theatre of China in Beijing.
It was designed by French architect Paul Andreu and opened in December 2007. The theatre has an unusual shape and stunning appearance. It is an egg-shaped dome construction of steel covered with over 18,000 titanium plates and over 1,000 sheets of ultra-white glass.
Another window cleaning challenge!
The theatre stands on an artificial lake which 2.678 million visitors to date have entered through a 60m long transparent walkway actually under the lake. As this is the only entrance, the exterior of the dome is smooth and unbroken. Weighing in at 6,457 tons and over 212m long, this amazing steel and glass oval shell is the largest dome in the world.
There are three venues within the dome, namely the Opera House, the Concert Hall and the Theatre. These are all interconnected with passages and entrances built underwater. On the top floor is a lounge with great views of the surrounding green space and the city all around.
The theatre was designed to be accessible to all the people. To that end although the costs of building the theatre went well over budget, 70% of the tickets are sold at a low price so everybody can attend the performances.

Officer Stanes is a member of regent security along with Officer Miller under Mr. Jackson. He was first seen guarding a regent meeting consisting of Adwin Kosan, Jane Lattimer, and Phillip Petrov.
When Arthur Nielson, Claudia Donovan, Pete Lattimer, and Myka Bering try to get to the 40th Floor, he and Officer Miller stop them; Claudia proceeds to throw a Tesla Grenade at the two, and Pete locks them in a closet. As Pete moved Miller to the closet, Artie examined his unconscious body and found an Eye of Horus tattoo on his wrist.
It is revealed that they broke out of the closet when the Berlin Wall Spray Paint started to work and were ordered by Mr. Jackson to leave. They are last seen helping Kosan out of the lift when he and Artie escape.

These are the earliest and most common enemy Simon can encounter in Cry of Fear; coming in three entirely aesthetic color variants--red sweater, navy jumper, and green-striped shirt wearers. The former two have red, almost ovine eyes, while the latter have blank, white ones.
Slower Twitchers, despite their namesake, are not particularly slow; they vary between an erratic limping shuffle and a maddened, flailing dash with their head raised at the player from motion to motion--sometimes catching against objects in the environment to shuffle wildly, seemingly oblivious. When they do close the distance, they will swing their hammer out from right to left, or upward several times--and while they are not the strongest foes, they are the most oft encountered early, while Simon is armed with only a knife--making them particularly threatening in harder difficulty modes.
The Slower Twitcher is notable for its spasmodically moving head, which makes aiming for head shots difficult. It's advisable for players to dispatch them with body shots, or melee, while keeping mindful of their surroundings to avoid being backed into a corner. Early on, cockfighting is the only option.
When Simon initially deals damage to a Slower Twitcher, it will flinch back. This only seems to ever occur once per Slower Twitcher. This offers the player the opportunity to make between three to four 'safe' knife stabs, while the Twitcher recoils. Players on Hard and Nightmare difficulties should learn to exploit this behavior early, in order to reduce the damage they take from the first few encounters with these foes.
Slower Twitchers exhibit a behavior where they will enter an attack stance--when approached in this stance, they can very quickly retort with additional attacks, and get in hits even if you dodge backwards. Their animation will change to them holding out their hammer or 'fucking' (entirely cosmetic) when they do so. Avoid knifing them in the few seconds after you've provoked them to attack, or Simon will likely take a hit or two.
They are proceeded by their stronger, but stiller brethren, the Slower3's, who do not move their heads, but have more hp and deal more damage--as well as the Children and Fasters, who are more prevalent and mobile.

Russian Orthodox Church commemorates St. Seraphim of Sarov

Russian Orthodox Church commemorates St. Seraphim of Sarov
NIZHNY NOVGOROD, August 1 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian Orthodox Church is commemorating St. Seraphim of Sarov, one of Russia's most prominent monks and ascetics who lived in the 18th-19th centuries.
Over 15,000 people took part in festive events dedicated to the finding of St. Seraphim's relics, kept in the Holy Trinity St. Seraphim-Diveyevo Convent. The celebrations were held in the village of Diveyevo in the Nizhny Novgorod Region crossed by the Volga River, where the saint lived in the final period of his life.
"Father Seraphim unites us all. We see him attract thousands of people, heal their wounds, and they find peace in their hearts, and peace in your heart is a great joy," Archbishop George of Nizhny Novgorod and Arzamas said.
Seraphim was born in 1754, and given the name Prokhor. His father Isidore died soon, and he was raised by his mother Agathia. At the age of seven, the child fell from a bell tower but remained unharmed.
Pious since childhood, he became a monk in 1786. He fasted and prayed a lot, and was given the gift of working miracles and healing diseases. Seraphim, whose own diseases were cured several times by the Mother of God, died in 1833 and was canonized in 1903.
One of the saint's most popular quotes is: "Acquire a peaceful spirit, and thousands around you will be saved."

Now that we're about half way through summer, you may be starting to hear "I'm bored!"… does that ring a bell? Good heavens, what are we, our kids' personal social planners? I was recently chatting with a friend about our kids, and how for some reason they think we are responsible for setting them up to do something "amazing and fun" with friends everyday! What happened to playing outside with the kids on the street, riding your bike or skateboarding to the park, or just simply jumping in the pool?
In search of ideas, I found this "Fun Summer Activities Checklist" on the Real Simple website. http://www.realsimple.com/work-life/entertainment/summer-activities-00100000082747/index.html
I love it! I actually pasted it into Word and added a few select activities of my own, then allowed each of my kids to make a checklist of their own, using this one as a guide. Of course I had to set some boundaries or my son would have added a Travel category and expected a 4 day weekend in Rome! All joking aside, I've found that my children tend to keep it simple when they feel empowered to be adventurous and "in control" of their time. Along the way, inject some lessons of gratitude… for summer, free-time, ladybugs and butterflies, a sense of adventure, popsicles, whatever! There's no shortage of things for our children to be grateful for, but as you know, sometimes they need to be reminded:)
Give your kids a chance to be their own social planner and see what they come up with… you may be surprised!
Have fun!

Mushroom Bread
Recipe by lucid501
This recipe came from my husband's grandmother, it was one of her husband's favorites. I remember it being a rather dense bread with a good flavor (if you like mushrooms of course). I'm estimating the preparation time, as it has been a while since I've made it.
Top Review by Annacia
I loved this, yes it is on the dense side but thats no problem with me. Ok, heres what I did: I made a single loaf instead of two. Used a generous 1/2 cup of mushies and same of onions (softened in the micro to avoid using more butter), upped the pepper to 1/2 a tsp and added a fair pinch of red pepper flakes, the 1/4 cup of water was the water I used to soften the veggies in the micro, the egg was 1/4 cup of eggbeaters. The taste is marvelous and it makes a wicked good roast beef sandwich. Very low in fat and sugar, it makes a diabetic smile. Thank you Lucid.

The New 2017 Nissan Titan Available at Tischer Nissan for Laurel, MD
The 2017 Nissan Titan is a new, much needed, full-size truck for the real truck enthusiast. Offered as the light-duty Nissan Titan or the heavy duty Nissan Titan XD, both versions will be blow your mind. They are both available in five trim levels: the S, SV, Pro 4X, SL, and the Platinum Reserve.
The 2017 Nissan Titan Interior Highlights:
The interior is bold, yet simple with its utilitarian design. There is plenty of storage available, and the center console is large with large controls that can be used with gloves. Perfect for workers on the go! The 2017 Nissan Titan's Zero Gravity front seats are supportive, which makes for that comfort we are all looking for on long trips. Platinum Reserve boasts leather seats that are also power-adjustable, as is the steering wheel. The Titan will come with a 7-inch navigation screen as well as a rearview camera. There is also a driver information center which appears in the instrument cluster making for that perfect driving experience.
The 2017 Nissan Titan Exterior Highlights:
The 2017 Nissan Titan boasts a tougher look than the Titan ever has. Even though the grilles are different for the Titan and Titan XD they use the same styling theme. Large, bold, chrome backed by active grille shutters that help reduce aerodynamic drag by 10 percent versus the previous versions of the Nissan Titan. The two-tone look is sure to make it stand out from others trucks in its class. The convenient utility track system for the bed is ideal for securing your most precious cargo, complete with movable cleats for tie-downs. The tailgate is damped and lowers easily instead of slamming down, and will close easily with one hand, thanks to the strut hidden behind the right rear taillight assembly. Lights mounted low illuminate the bed contents, even when a cover is installed. The 2017 Nissan Titan XD is substantially larger than the non-XD Titan. The XD is 2 inches taller and nearly 15 inches longer overall.
What is under the hood of the 2017 Nissan Titan:
The 2017 Nissan Titan has a powerful 5.6-liter V-8 engine that generates an impressive 390 horsepower. Fuel economy has been improved by 28% over its previous versions with an estimated 15 mpg city, 21 highway, and 18 combined. Available in the 2017 Titan XD is a 5.0 liter Cummins turbodiesel V-8 engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. This combination produces 310 horsepower and 555 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy ratings will not be published for the Titan XD because fuel economy regulations don't apply to vehicles with a curb weight over 6,000 pounds. Nonetheless, the Titan XD diesel should be efficient for a heavy duty truck because diesel engines are inherently more efficient than gasoline engines. The light duty Titan and the Titan XD have a towing capacity over 9,000 lbs and the XD has a payload capacity of 2,594 pounds.

390 horsepower @ 5,800 rpm

I take pictures, lots of pictures, thousands of pictures every year. Sometims I have taken a thousand pictures in a day. It could be some kind of disease, but I'd like to think of it as something else, a "calling". Under the "Photo Blogs", you will find galleries broken down by a general catagory.
Open Spaces:
This is my Photo Gallery of the "Big Picture". Here you will find photographs of scenery whenever and wherever I can find something worth shooting with my camera.
The Gardens:
Here you will find photographs of small, colorful things I find while taking in the big picture with my camera. Sometimes you can find the smallest, prettiest things when you think it is all about the big pictures.
Classic Cars:
This gallery speaks for it's self. I grew up riding and then driving what are now classic cars. Although I know prefer not to drive them due to safety issues, I think that classic cars are a work of art!
More galleries are coming!
My favorite "hip shooter", was a now retired Sony DSC-T30. It was been an awesome little camera I shot over a 100,o00 frames and dozens of videos with. Although I am now my third Sony, I miss this second generation "ultra-compact". It was fast, had no protruding lens and was compact enough to carry on my belt or in my pocket. A subsequent updated version only lasted a few months before failing whereas the DSC-T30 is still semi-functional.

|Toronto Paranormal Society
The Toronto Paranormal Society was an organisation in Toronto dedicated to the research and study of the paranormal including spiritualism and mediums. It was headed by Fredrick Waters.
Their offices were the site of the murder of Ida Winston by Conrad Hunt. Winston intended to release evidence that the medium, Sarah Pensell, was a fraud ("Elementary, My Dear Murdoch").
The Society caught the attention of Arthur Conan Doyle who traveled from the United Kingdom of Great Britain to attend a seance held by Sarah Pensell and to give a lecture about spiritualism ("Elementary, My Dear Murdoch").

Life takes you by surprise when you least expect it. You think you may have it figured out, and then like a hurricane force it switches course and throws you into a whirlwind of before thought and aftermath. You read Plan B not for the witty, brilliant author who grips you in thought, but for the enormity that you hope can, with just one word, steer you into a direction you have been searching for.
But what if that direction is the course you are already on? Yet you doubt, you don't trust, you question. I cannot tell you what you don't already know; I cannot be a profit or a life line. What I can tell you is that through risk and chance, faith and trust, what is currently surrounding you can deliver what you need on your expedition - if you allow it to take hold.
When I named this website Plan B I was at a point in my life where I was prepared to admit that Plan A had already come and gone; but as I converse to you through my weekly discussions I grow as a person. My soul calms; my thoughts turn into what you examine each week in hopes that I can inspire change in your direction … inspire you to have the "ah-ha" moment that Plan B will only be if you allow it. If you doubt, and turn your direction, switch quadrants, you will never experience what Plan A had in store for you. Instead you will continue Plan B in search of fulfillment, but be met with an empty hand and a heavy heart. Each day is a choice to live Plan A. When you succumb to the negative thoughts, the fear, you risk forever living Plan B.
And what exactly is that risk? The risk that you may regret. The risk that you may find yourself wondering … in your calling, your relationships, your opportunities, your life … what if that chance was taken, with faith and optimism …
So my adventurous readers; take an inventory of what currently molds your life. How this inventory adds to your life, or takes from it. How it makes you want to strive for more, or holds you back. How it gives more than it takes. As you search for the answers remember this: your shelves are stocked with an array of relationships, choices, emotions, and thoughts. Believe in the ones that allow you to believe in yourself; trust in the ones that give you courage; embrace the ones that you don't want to regret.
… Embrace so that you risk. You venture. You try. The worst case scenario is that your destiny leads you into a different direction where you are able to continue to discover new heights, and new sights. When viewed from that angle, my hope is that you can see the beauty in living with conviction that through effort, chance, and determination to embrace, life works. Plan A is lived. And from that manuscript, you may be amazed at what new found bliss lies in store for you. A bliss that encompasses truth, conviction, and the effort to dare to try. Plan B is simply a motivator to give you the courage to believe in Plan A ... if you are ready to see how it plays out in the next scene. Life does not have an intermission … it continues with or without your effort.
Do you dare to wonder what if? Or ready to believe it could be worth the risk?

Dream Cream by Charlie's Chalk Dust features a blend of Vanilla Cream and Fudge, with notes of Cinnamon.
By Paul from Essex
Absolutely delicious!I like to mix with Nasty Juice wicked haze and slow blow. So smooth and creamy! Dream Cream is actually the perfect name for it :)
By Matty from Bristol
This juice really is a dream cream I love this juice I have bought this juice 3 or 4 times and I still love it this has to be up there with one of my favourite juices it's so moreish the fudge vanilla and cream flavours are amazing even though it's only a slight taste of the fudge and for me I cannot taste the cinnamon in it but the other 3 flavour is plenty for me I highly recommend this juice you will not regret it and I would recommendthis juice for a everyday juice
By Bj Rump from Derbyshire
Rarely does an e-liquid live up to it's glowing reviews,let alone it's name but 'Dream Cream' by Charlie's Chalk Dust does exactly this. If you're a fan of rich, beautifully creamy and sweet juice with an amazing kick of sticky fudge then this is the juice for you.Flavour profile and taste-wise this can be considered pretty similar to the popular 'Claim Your Throne' by King's Crown, but, in my eyes, there's only one king to this creamy battle and this wins it hands down. It manages to be really comforting, creamy and sweet without ever getting too sickly and can really be the all day vape. If I was to compare the taste to something it's like a Worther's Original, it's that creamy and smooth and lovely hits of vanilla. The butterscotch favour (or fudge) is so delicious and really bodes well with how creamy this vape is. The cinnamon flavour is VERY subtle, to a point it's barely noticeable, which, let's face it isn't a bad thing at all. Im a huge fan of cinnamon flavours but in e-liquid it tends to make the juice a little repetitive in taste and you can easily bore of the flavour. This it just right!So far, this one of my all time favourite liquids on the market and if a gallon bottle was out there, I suggest you buy it!Incredible liquid, vanilla, fudge, rich and deserty! Who could ask for anything more? Cross that with a great exhale, tons of clouds and a first rate delivery from Vape Club? It's a match made in heaven!Buy it now, it's a vape that proves you don't have to be asleep to have a dream
By em from london
not bad at all taste a bit like mothers milk, cant taste any fudge but can taste the vanilla would recommend it as an every day vape
By Jack from Colchester
Had this flavour through a smok stick one basic and it was lovely and creamy vanilla flavour on the inhale and fudge and just a hint of cinnamon. However, when i had it through my tfv8 on a wismec r2/3 the cinnamon was too strong and was not a nice flavout.
By Weegkreeft from Amsterdam, Netherlands
I have come to love this range, trying out almost all flavors. This one is no exception. Light, subtle and pronounced vanilla on inhale and creamy cinnamon on the exhale. Not overpowering, big clouds and leaves a nice taste in my mouth. I love this juice! Vapeclub, thanks for the excellent service as always!
By MagicVapez from London
What an amazing flavor, Such a smooth vanilla inhale with a touch of sweet fudge and sprinkle of cinnamon, Amazing one of my favorites.I definitely could use this all day
By Pm from Midlands
Tried this juice because of the good reviews , I find it a little lacking in flavour, changing settings doesn't seem to make much difference, for me, not an adv
By Dr vape from Anglesey
No words can describe the flavour of this vape. Just taste of smooth vanilla fudge no hint of cinnamon which I think is a good thing bought so many of this flavour will be trying other brands of this.
By Jess from Australia
Ive been Vaping this from the beginning and just cant get past it. Im on my 7th order. Love it. No other cream based liqiuds compare. Although it does taste very different using different setups.

Historic Downtown Fernandina Beach just a Mile Away. Enjoy site seeing , restaurants and shopping . Walk To Fort Clinch State Park and enjoy hiking , pier fishing and biking or just relax on the White Sand Beaches
Don't miss the sunrise from your Oceanfront Deck. We Look Forward to your Visit PETS CONSIDERED
3rd floor unit, so you definitely get a workout. Even though the units on both sides were occupied, you couldn't hear them through the walls. The pictures of the inside are a little outdated; the actual inside furniture is updated, the kitchen had everything that we needed, & couches were comfortable. The condo was built in the 70's, so it still has some of that feel, but nothing that detracts from your stay. Overall, the unit was very clean & well appointed. The view is absolutely outstanding! Close enough to stores (including a Starbucks), yet far enough that you get the full relaxation of the beach. It's a great place to get away.
This unit suited our needs for a long weekend. Unit could use updating and walls could use a fresh coat of paint. Conveniently located to downtown and commercial shopping areas. Will definitely come back to Amelia Island and this beach.
It was the perfect accommodations for our family of 5. We loved waking up to the ocean view each morning!! Everything was super clean upon our arrival. We were sad to leave and will definitely be back!! Thank you!!
Condo has a great view of the beach and is very comfortable. Large living area, well equipped kitchen and comfortable furniture. The view from the deck of the beach is fantastic. We stayed there for the month of January and enjoyed our visit. Would not hesitate to rent the unit again. Brian, was great to work with. Bob and Lynn M.
I grew up in north myrtle beach SC-- and have visited many beaches in the SE over the years-- 3 years ago I stumbled upon Amelia Island and continue to return annually! This town is amazing--great beach without drones of tourists, very few high rises ruining the vista and so much protected nature to adventure in! We brought our bikes and once again spent time in the Fort Clinch State park and the Egan's Creek Greenway. The unit offers everything you need for a stay at the beach-- an affordable, comfortable family/pet friendly dwelling directly on the beach. It feels like you have rented the whole place but it comes with friends! Kitchen well equipped, boogie boards were a bonus and everything was beach house clean and super comfortable. You can walk, bike, drive to EVERYTHING with ease from here. Recommend exploring downtown Fernandina- which is super charming. I have stayed at the Omni Plantation twice which is great -- but the relaxed personal feel to this side of the island was perfect and I would return to this unit for the value!!
With the condo on the third floor and set back on the beach, you can't beat the 180 degree view off the back deck. While there was some issues with communication prior to the stay, the company was very responsive during the stay.
Unit is well equipped, not super dated, and comfortable.
