News of the Day From Across the Globe
Published 4:00 am, Saturday, April 21, 2012
1 Bahrain protest: Tens of thousands of antigovernment protesters on Friday flooded a major highway in Bahrain demanding a halt to the Formula One race on its first day of practice runs, as the gulf kingdom's crown prince vowed the country's premier prestige sporting event would go ahead. Bahraini authorities stepped up security around the Formula One circuit after clashes between protesters and security forces intensified ahead of Sunday's Grand Prix race. Last year, a wave of antigovernment protests by the island's Shiite majority and a violent crackdown by the Sunni rulers forced organizers to cancel the 2011 Bahrain GP. At least 50 people have been killed since the start of Bahrain's uprising, inspired by other Arab Spring revolts, and violence continues to roil the island.
2 No death penalty: China's highest court overturned a death sentence for Wu Ying, a 31-year-old billionaire convicted of "fundraising fraud," China's official newswire reported on Friday. Wu's case has triggered a high-profile controversy in China over the use of capital punishment for nonviolent crimes. Wu is famous in China for her rags-to-riches story. After opening a hair salon at age 15, she built a business empire that spanned such areas as karaoke clubs, cosmetics and hotels. She was sentenced to death in 2009 for illegally raising millions of dollars from investors from 2005 to 2007.
3 Hacking lawsuits: Nearly 50 new phone hacking lawsuits have been filed against Rupert Murdoch's British newspaper company, a lawyer said Friday, including ones by singer James Blunt, soccer star Wayne Rooney and Cherie Blair, the wife of Britain's former prime minister. The 46 new claimants in the second wave of legal action sent the total number of cases to more than 100 against News International, a subsidiary of Murdoch's New York News Corp. News International has already settled roughly 60 lawsuits with a variety of celebrities, sports stars, politicians and other public figures in the first wave of litigation.
4 Gay rabbis: The Conservative Jewish seminary in Israel Friday says it will allow gays and lesbians to become rabbis, overcoming years of opposition by many of its own leaders and setting up a new point of contention between the movement and Israel's Orthodox establishment. The decision ended a rift with the Conservative movement in the United States, which began accepting gay and lesbian rabbinical students in 2006 and ordained its first openly lesbian rabbi last year.

5 Sudan conflict: Sudan said Friday its forces drove South Sudanese troops from a contested oil town near the countries' ill-defined border while the south tried to put a good face on events, saying it was withdrawing. South Sudanese troops took over Heglig last week, sending Sudanese troops fleeing and sparking condemnation from the United Nations, United States and Britain.
6 Volcano eruption: A 17,886-foot volcano outside Mexico City exhaled dozens of towering plumes of ash and shot fragments of glowing rock down its slopes Friday, frightening the residents of surrounding villages with hours of low-pitched roaring not heard in a decade. A roiling white cloud of ash, gas, water vapor and superheated rock spewed from the cone of Popocatepetl.
7 Bus crash: A truck trailer came loose and hit a passenger bus Friday in Mexico, killing at least 43 people in the Gulf Coast state of Veracruz.

Birders flock to Lake Hodges for its avian bounty. When I hiked the North Shore Lake Hodges Trail in mid-October, I saw several impressive birds in the oaks and eucalyptus along the shore as well as many waterfowl wading and gliding on the lake.
North Shore Lake Hodges
Before you go: Go the web site for the San Dieguito River Park, http://www.sdrp.o..., to download a map of the North Shore Lake Hodges Trail. For information about fishing and boating on the lake, go to www.sandiego.gov/...>
Trailhead: I started at the end of Rancho Drive, turning east off S6, Del Dios Highway. There is a parking area at the end of Rancho Drive, just below Hernandez Hideaway Mexican restaurant.
Distance: I went about 2.4 miles one-way, turning around and retracing my route for a round-trip of about 4.8 miles. Allow three hours.
Difficulty: Trail is mostly flat; easy.
At the beginning of my hike, I saw three redheaded, 2-foot-tall turkey vultures resting in some eucalyptus trees, occasionally soaring in search of a carcass. They ride columns of warm air to save energy, covering miles of territory, according to the National Audubon Society's "Field Guide to Birds, Western Region."
Song sparrows darted in and out of the coastal sage scrub. Near the boat dock, I saw majestic white great egrets standing just at the shoreline; these lovely "stately fishermen," according to "The Birds of Lake Hodges," a brochure produced by the San Dieguito River Park, are year-round residents here.
Just beyond the boat dock, I saw a beautiful red-tailed hawk. That species as well as the similar American kestrel and red-shouldered hawk are year-round residents who also breed here. During courtship, the red-tailed hawk performs "spectacular aerial acrobatics," says the brochure.
Crystal Burlington, assistant reservoir keeper of Lake Hodges, told me the large birds I spotted in the oak trees near the boat dock are among the 12 resident black-crowned night herons who live in those trees.
By the water were several pairs of mallard ducks, lots of black American coots with their distinctive white beaks, gulls and even a wintering whimbrel with its long legs and down-curved bill.
The Western grebe is "arguably the bird most readily associated with Lake Hodges," according to the river park's brochure. Burlington told me their mating ritual is fascinating to watch as a pair flies above the water, then plunges down, essentially in a dance.
More than 200 species of birds are year-round or winter residents on Lake Hodges. The coming winter months, in fact, are some of the best times to visit because of the thousands of migratory birds.
Lake Hodges is designated a "Globally Important Bird Area," by the National Audubon Society and American Bird Conservancy. It was so named in 1999 after efforts by the San Dieguito River Park and Palomar Audubon Society submitted extensive documentation of the lake's avian resources. The Important Bird Area (IBA) program was launched in the U.S. in 1995 with ascending levels of state, national, continental and global designation; Lake Hodges was the first site in California to be designated at that highest level.
One of the birds that helped secure that designation is the California gnatcatcher, a threatened species that thrives in the 2,300 ares of coastal sage scrub habitat surrounding the lake.
Lake Hodges is owned by the city of San Diego Water Department. It's a man-made reservoir built in 1918. Some 300 square miles of watershed feed the lake, which holds 30,251 acre-feet of water. At capacity, the lake is 6.5 miles long with about 27 miles of shoreline.
Its longest trail is the 8.2-mile North Shore Lake Hodges Trail that extends from the Lake Hodges Dam to I-15. I covered the middle half of the trail, starting at the parking area at the end of Rancho Drive, just below Hernandez Hideaway restaurant in Del Dios.
The first 1.2 miles from my starting point to Del Dios Community Park is a wide-track dirt trail that passes through groves of oak, eucalyptus, pepper and occasional sycamore trees. It's also popular with mountain bikers so stay to one side.
After the park, the trail continues another 1.1 miles to the boat dock, offering far less shade as it gets a bit farther from the water. I went just a bit farther after the boat dock, where the trail narrows into a single track and gets closer to the water.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

MEXICO CITY, FEB. 27, 2007 (Zenit.org).- Accusers' failure to appear in court in the case against Cardinals Norberto Rivera and Roger Mahony is another sign of the falsehood of the accusations, says the Mexican archdiocesan paper.
Mexican Cardinal Rivera has been accused by the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) of concealing an alleged pederast priest who worked both in Mexico and in California. Los Angeles Cardinal Mahony was also implicated in the case, filed in September.
Last week a hearing was scheduled as part of the private prosecution initiated by SNAP against Cardinals Rivera and Mahony. The accusers did not attend the hearing.
Their absence "shows only one thing: They have no proof, their interest is not juridical but a media event and their intention is to wait for the primatial Archdiocese of Mexico to fall into their net of blackmail and extortion, something which will not happen," the archdiocesan paper said.
In an editorial in the weekly Desde la Fe, the Archdiocese of Mexico asserted that SNAP is trying to blackmail the Catholic Church.
According to the archdiocesan paper, Bernardo Fernández del Castillo, a lawyer working in the case, said that Church officials will shortly present documentary proof that the accusations are slander. He reiterated that the cardinal never concealed the priest, Nicolás Aguilar, whose current whereabouts are unknown.
"Cardinal Norberto Rivera has never hidden Father Aguilar from justice; neither has he concealed his whereabouts from the authorities or officials of the Church in Mexico or in California, and does not know his whereabouts," said the lawyer.
The archdiocesan paper stated that SNAP has no proof of its accusations, and spent six months organizing "a media campaign against Cardinal Rivera based on lies, contradictions and downright slander."

Warren County sheriff Larry Cleveland said the accident appeared to have happened when the wake of a second larger boat, believed to be an old 100ft tourist vessel, swamped the glass-enclosed Ethan Allen. "We believe that the wake upset the boat and threw the passengers into the water," he said.
The weather had been clear and calm when the boat overturned at around 3pm local time and was ruled out as a contributing factor.
Witnesses on the shore, quoted by CNN, said the accident had occurred as the boat turned to shore and listed to one side, causing some of the passengers to fall into the water. The boat was said to have capsized and "bobbed like a cork" in the water for about 10 minutes. Some of the passengers had apparently managed to clamber on to its hull before it sank.
Reporters at the scene said they had seen bodies being dragged out of the lake and left on the shore. There were chaotic scenes as police, fire departments and ambulance workers helped survivors. A temporary morgue was set up at a nearby campsite.
Andrea Sause, a witness who said she had assisted the rescue efforts, told CNN that most of the passengers had been elderly. "We got most of them out of the boat, but I saw like 20 people that were on the grass that were covered and they were dead," she said. Her father, Frank Sause, said the survivors were "all pretty shook up". Mr Sause said he had seen between 20 and 40 boats on the lake helping to rescue the victims, carrying them to ambulances on stretchers. "One guy looked over his shoulder and said 'That's my wife, she's dead'," he said.
He told CNN he had seen the captain of the boat in one of the rescue vessels and that he seemed to be in shock, refusing to step on to the shore.
All the 49 passengers on board had been accounted for within two hours, the sheriff told the local paper, the Glens Falls Post Star, and efforts were turning from rescue to recovery. The passengers were believed to have been a group of elderly tourists from Canada and Michigan.
Shoreline Cruises, which operates the boat, had no immediate comment. The company owns a handful of boats offering tours on the lake.

(AP) - Calling for fiscal restraint even while federal spending soars, President Barack Obama pledged to dramatically slash the annual budget deficit and announced $15 billion in Medicaid money to states from his $787 billion economic stimulus package.
"We cannot and will not sustain deficits like these without end. ... We cannot simply spend as we please and defer the consequences," the president said Monday.
He said the government must both confront the current economic crisis and address skyrocketing deficits or "we risk sinking into another crisis down the road."
"I refuse to leave our children with a debt they cannot repay," Obama declared.
The president summoned allies, adversaries and outside experts to a White House summit to address the nation's future financial health one week after signing into law the gargantuan stimulus measure designed to stop the country's economic free fall and, ultimately, reverse the recession now months into its second year.
By Obama's own account, the new law will add to this fiscal year's deficit, which the administration projects will be $1.5 trillion. Obama said he will at least cut that in half by the end of his first term 2013.
Earlier, he met with Republican and Democratic governors who are poised to benefit from his unprecedented emergency spending-and-tax cut measure.
The recession has had a huge impact on state budgets, and one area public officials are struggling with is in meeting costs in the Medicaid program for the poor. The program is underwritten jointly by states and the federal government.
Speaking to state chief executives at the close of the three-day winter session of the National Governors Association, Obama also addressed concerns about the stimulus plan raised by a handful of Republican governors who have called the plan overly large and wasteful.
"I refuse to leave our children with a debt they cannot repay."President Barack Obama
At issue is a proposed expansion of state unemployment benefits for part-time workers and others who where previously ineligible to receive the funding.
Some GOP governors - several with an eye on the 2012 presidential contest including Mark Sanford of South Carolina and Bobby Jindal of Louisiana - say they may not accept that funding because it will require a tax increase on employers once the stimulus money runs out.
Obama addressed that critique directly, and warned against allowing political considerations to cloud a discussion of the stimulus program.
"I think there are some very legitimate concerns on the part of some about the sustainability of expanding unemployment insurance. What hasn't been noted is that that is $7 billion of a $787 billion program. And it's not even the majority of the expansion of unemployment insurance," Obama said.
He added, "If we agree on 90 percent of this stuff, and we're spending all our time on television arguing about 1, 2, 3 percent of the spending in this thing, and somehow it's being characterized in broad brush as wasteful spending, that starts sounding more like politics. And that's what right now we don't have time to do."
Obama also stressed the need for accountability and transparency in how the governors spend the stimulus funds.
He named Earl Devaney, a former Secret Service agent who helped expose lobbyists' corruption at the Interior Department, to head the new Recovery Act Transparency and Accountability Board. Vice President Joe Biden also will be given a role coordinating oversight of stimulus spending, Obama said.
Obama created the board as an at-large body to oversee how the government spends the $787 billion stimulus package.

PHILADELPHIA, May 23 (UPI) -- A New Jersey businessman says he will finally get his college degree almost four decades after one class kept him from "walking" with his classmates.
Frank Giordano, 59, originally of Cherry Hill, N.J., had completed all his course work for his degree from Rutgers University except for one physical education class, which he never took because he was too busy building a business, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Sunday.
Giordano took classes during the morning and worked 40-50 hours a week at his own shop to build a commercial-trailer company that ended up highly successful.
"I'd take the Rutgers parking sticker out of my window so customers didn't know I was a college student," he said.
He was supposed to take a required gym class but kept putting it off. An accident resulting in a broken foot closed the deal for him and Giordano never got his degree, the newspaper said.
Meanwhile, he became a hugely successful local businessman with a number of contacts -- one of whom was the acting dean of the Rutgers-Camden business school, Rayman Solomon, who heard his story and presented it to a faculty committee.
"It was a no-brainer," Solomon said. "He deserves it."
Giordano's degree will be official, not honorary, and dated 1972.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Kyrie Irving's last-minute 3-pointer helped seal another victory for Cleveland — and the Cavaliers' longest winning streak since LeBron James left.
Irving connected from beyond the arc with 27.2 seconds remaining, and Cleveland went on to a 93-89 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night. The Cavaliers have won four in a row for the first time since an eight-game streak in March 2010, not long before James departed for Miami.
"It's been fun," said Irving, who was drafted by Cleveland with the No. 1 pick in 2011. "Four in a row — this is the first time in my career. It's a big step."
Tristan Thompson scored 14 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter for Cleveland, overpowering Detroit's vaunted front line as the Cavs rallied from a 10-point deficit in the final period. The Pistons had their three-game winning streak snapped.
Andre Drummond had 16 points and 17 rebounds for the Pistons, but he didn't do much in the fourth quarter, when Thompson took control inside.
Cleveland led by one in the final minute when Irving made his big 3-pointer as the shot clock expired to put the Cavs ahead 89-85.
Cleveland beat the Pistons for the first time in eight meetings.
Detroit was playing its second game under interim coach John Loyer after Maurice Cheeks was fired Sunday, and this was a repeat of the problems the Pistons have had all season at home. Detroit has lost six games at The Palace when leading after three quarters.
"We didn't guard as well as we did in the first three quarters," Loyer said. "They dominated the boards down the stretch. They got too many second shots. When you lead for 46 minutes, you expect to win the game."
It was 76-66 in the fourth when the Cavaliers cut into the lead with an 8-0 run capped by Thompson's dunk off a nice pass from Irving. Detroit tried to hold on, but Irving made two free throws with 2:06 remaining, giving Cleveland its first lead of the game at 82-81.
Josh Smith spun to the basket for a dunk to put the Pistons back ahead, but Thompson came up with an offensive rebound and dunked to put the Cavs up 84-83. After Smith missed inside, a putback dunk by Thompson at the other end made it 86-83.
Kyle Singler cut Cleveland's lead to one when he made two free throws with 51.4 seconds left, but with the Cavaliers' next possession seemingly going nowhere, Irving found enough space to make his second 3-pointer of the game — and Detroit never recovered.
"I've got to be better down the stretch and make that final box-out — that's what got them going," Drummond said. "When Thompson got that putback, and Kyrie hit that big three down the stretch, too, I've got to put that on my shoulders. That's on me."
Irving finished with 23 points. Thompson had seven of his 15 rebounds in the fourth quarter.
With so much mediocrity in the Eastern Conference this season, hardly anyone is really out of the playoff race. Detroit trails Charlotte by a half-game for the eighth and final postseason spot. Cleveland is three back of the Bobcats.
"It was a big game for us — especially the last game before the All-Star break," Thompson said. "A lot of teams come out thinking about the beach and being on vacation, but for us, we wanted to finish out the week strong."
Drummond had 10 offensive rebounds, but the Pistons' poor outside shooting finally caught up to them. Detroit went 9-for-38 outside the paint, including 4-of-23 from 3-point range.
Rodney Stuckey was limited to 12 minutes for Detroit because of dizziness, and Cleveland was without Anderson Varejao, who sat out a second straight game with a sore back.
Rookie Anthony Bennett, who had his first career double-double on Tuesday in a win over Sacramento, scored only two points against Detroit.
... Drummond had only two points and two rebounds in the fourth quarter.

More Big Lipped Aligator Moments than an episode of family guy...too many. Too much forced humor. And what the hell was the deal with the pokeys? Thankfully the BLAMs and Forced humor managed to stay just below the threshold between "bad" and "garbage" and the soundtrack and fight scenese were amazing.

text: The history of Spider-Man on screen Ahead of the release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, we take a look at five decades of Spidey in celluloid By Gary Green 22 April 2014 Ahead of the release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, we take a look at the web-slinging superhero's screen appearances, which span almost five decades. Spider-Man (1967 – 1970)'Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can…' goes the famous intro sequence to the 1960s Spider-Man cartoon. In the short five years since Spider-Man's first appearance in the comic book Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1962, the hero rapidly ignited the imagination of many readers; so the natural progression was to create a cartoon that resonated with the same audience, using the same vivid visuals and depicting the same awkward teenage Peter Parker. While it's filled with a fun energy, the show feels very much like the Hanna-Barbera toons of the time (think Scooby-Doo with superheroes), and gives Spidey an annoying chutzpah that contrasts the near-pitiful weakness of Peter. The first season of the show, while largely confined to the Daily Bugle, followed his adventures in the comics – until season two, when consultant (and creator) Stan Lee left, leaving the superhero to face villains that were mainly recycled from stock footage from the production company's other show, Rocket Robin Hood. The Amazing Spider-Man (1977 – 1979)In the late 1970s, Spider-Man was revived for TV in the form of a live-action show starring Nicholas Hammon as the titular hero, still fresh off the success of 1965's The Sound of Music. Unfortunately, even from the opening sequence, it's clear that this particular screen incarnation was ill-judged: the soundtrack wouldn't have been out of place in a cop show of the time, and the sub-par costumes and effects made for a recipe for disaster. Amazingly, the show found an audience (and high ratings), and ran for two years. Still, fans criticised the show for straying from the comics, and even Spider-Man's creator Stan Lee thought it was 'too juvenile'. Its 90-minute pilot episode could count as the first ever Spider-Man film. Spider-Man: The Animated Series (1994 – 1998)For many fans, this is the favourite small-screen Spider-Man. The animated series debuted in 1994 and ran until 1998, but still enjoys plenty of re-runs. The show began with Peter Parker already fighting crime as everybody's favourite neighbourhood webslinger – dropping his backstory on the assumption that the audience would already be familiar with the superhero. It also included other great characters from the comic universe, including the Green Goblin, the Lizard and Mysterio. The production team constructed a believable New York City, consulting photographic archives and maps, and reproducing buildings faithful to their real-life counterparts. It was very popular on Fox Kids, following the network's successful X-Men and Batman animated series – and, after X-Men, it's the longest-running Marvel show ever. The production arguably boosted interest in the superhero, which spilled into the 21st century. Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3 (2002 – 2007)For 25 years, the Spider-Man movie was stuck in development turmoil following myriad script versions and copyright difficulties. The screenplay was finally picked up by director Sam Raimi, and the rest is superhero-on-celluloid history. Each of the three movies under Raimi's supervision broke box-office records, and helped expose the world to the superhero genre which is now healthier than ever thanks to the likes of The Avengers. Despite the third instalment leaving a sour taste for many with its saturation of villains and dance sequences, Spider-Man and its first sequel hit the dramatic heights necessary for such a compelling character; mixing the super-powered thrills of the genre with the emotional gravity of Peter Parker's struggles with his dual gift and curse, it was always going to be a hit. The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)When it was announced that the movie franchise was being revived a mere five years after the last incarnation (Spider-Man 3), film buffs were filled with shock. But it's not unprecedented: Alfred Hitchcock 'rebooted' a few of his films in a short time frame, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is enjoying a new take this year following 2007's release. When audiences finally got to enter the new filmic world of Spider-Man, they found plenty to love, primarily Andrew Garfield's near-perfect portrayal of Peter Parker and an intelligent love interest in the form of Gwen Stacey (Emma Stone). However, thanks to plenty of studio interference during every step of production, the end result felt less like a spectacle and more like what was feared: a diminished return. Early reviews for the sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, have been more positive – so here's hoping Spidey'll get another film he deserves.

In my previous post I discussed the esoteric idea about different levels to existence. At the very top of these levels is the Spirit Plane. This is something we are all familiar with. Most religions divide existence into the physical world and the world of Spirit. Spirit exists outside of the laws of time/space wherein God, the angels, heaven and the dead exist.
Can we possibility have any knowledge of this spirit world? We seemingly don't have any direct connection to this realm, so all appears to be conjecture. Religious scriptures have something to say about this spirit dimension. Christian scripture tends to be a bit vague when it comes to the world of spirit. At the opposite side, the ancient Egyptians had an elaborate map/guesswork of what they thought happened after death.
Ceremonial magicians have long thought of the spirit dimension as the source of power for their craft. They would invoke the name of God for just about anything including the most nonsensical objectives. What is up with medieval mages trying to summon angelic powers to find hidden treasure or curse a neighbor? I don't get that at all.
It is suggested that a part of our being also exists in this Spirit Plane but is inaccessible to our daily consciousness. This part of our being has been called our Higher Genius, or Higher Self. In the grimorie "Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage" there is a technique given called the Abramelin operation which is supposed to bring the mage into direct contact their "Holy Guardian Angel" (another name for our Higher Self) who will reveal great magical secrets to the mage. The occultist Aleister Crowley famously used this method. I never heard of anyone actually achieving the stated results.
Outside of religious and occult doctrines, we have the personal experiences of people who had near-death out-of-body experiences. Very often they encounter a tunnel of light, and after passing through it they encounter the spirit world. They report encounters with their departed loved ones, a feeling a transcendent joy, of understanding the meaning for everything, and have a life-review where in an instant they relive all the good or bad they ever did in their lives.
Is it possible for the living to have contact with this spiritual dimension? What is the essence of spirit? How does spirit reflect itself in our lives? We don't need any hocus pocus for the answers.
My personal answer is that the nature of the spiritual dimension is Love. Love is a part of our everyday, mundane lives. The love for one's spouse, the love for your children, loving your friends and neighbors…the love of all humanity is our connection with the deepest level of existence. When a parent is toiling at working two jobs to support their family, they may not realize it but they in harmony with the purpose for our existence.
For me, the clearest statement on the nature of spirit and love is the famous bible quote about love in 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, which ends:
"Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
To achieve harmony with the cosmos is as simple as embracing love for all humanity. Easier said then done! Religion is often in disharmony with the spirit of love. Look at Islamic radicals killing people in the name of God. That is not only disharmony but complete blindness.
Another example, only a few short decades ago in the U.S., it was illegal for people of different races to marry. People actually got arrested for it! Why? Because it was considered immoral and ungodly for the races to mix. How could supposedly godly people believe in such things? Maybe they were not in harmony with the spirit of love? If people view other races as human beings like themselves, with love, they would not have had such views.
Today we have the controversy about gay marriage. Again, religious people look at gays as abominations and gay marriage as an abomination multiplied. I can appreciate people have cultural reasons for being against gay marriage, but decades from now people will look back and say, "What were those people THINKING back then??" when gay marriage is commonplace. Just like we do today looking back at interracial marriage.
Being in harmony with love and the spiritual dimension is not a religious matter but a personal one. In my next post I will consider the next level of existence…the abstract level, or what might also be the anthropic principle.

You asked if people really could communicate with the spirit world. I think they can (though I don't myself) – but I tend to be doubtful with anyone who makes money from such proclamations. I suspect most genuine folks with the propensity to see into that realm prefer to keep it quiet.
I like to think spirit is or is closely allied with love.
Nor do I understand anyone who uses their spiritual/religious beliefs as an excuse to hate or dismiss ANYONE. Not saying they're wrong, except I think they are and would be unwilling to worship a deity that would require that. Truthfully, it makes no sense to me nor does it jibe with my understanding of most of the original teachers involved in most major religions.

Hi Stephanie,
After I published this post, I thought to myself, I am commenting on a lot of stuff that is not going to make anybody happy. Gay marriage is controversial. A lot of people also don't like the idea of associating the idea of interracial marriage with gay marriage. I quote the bible and then criticize traditional values. I cast a skeptical eye at the effectiveness of some magical practices. Add to that, who am I to imagine I understand the true nature of Spirit? What I firmly believe is that love is the ultimate purpose for existence, and love transcends physical life.

This gay marriage topic. I don't hate gay people, I don't agree with the actions. These acts are not progressive to the development of man for one thing. Think about the nature of a living being. Should we reproduce? If two men live together and love each other but do not have sex, are they gay? I don't think so. When people say " you were born gay" I have to laugh. Is it not a sex act that makes a person gay. Just remember we are not all the same. We have the way to move beyond this unnatural act to each other.The human being exists in nature as a giver of life not a caretaker. All I ask is think about it.

Hi Leo,
I'll have to disagree with you, but we are all entitled to our viewpoint. I know some gays and they are the nicest people I know. I think the best way to learn tolerance for those who are different from ourself is to have a diversity of friends. Then we discover that our differences are minor compared to all we have in common.

We all are souls who now have body to be able to have this human life experience.Science can not prove existence of the soul because Soul in not physical!And we can communicate with spiritual world because we never really left it!Our physical life span connects us to ALL THAT IS!
We receive life energy not from the physical source ,we all ways connected with Cosmos even living here on Earth…This is out birthright !All our differences based on clashes between our egos…

Hi Mzora,
Thanks for the thoughts. Actually, there is increasing scientific evidence that the souls exists. There are studies on the near-death experience, and they are really interesting. Check out one of my favorite sites and their podcasts for information on this topic: http://www.skeptiko.com/

Hi Paul,
I'm sorry but I haven't see your emails. I get a mountain of spam and spam blog comments, so it is possible I did not recognize something legit. However, your comment is a little weird…"Dear Father"? I am assuming this is a spam comment. However, on the odd chance it is not, I'll keep an eye on my email for a message. Take care.

VANCOUVER There is respect for Damon Allens prolific football career among Canadian Football League executives and management types.
But, when it comes to the debate over whether Allen should have been voted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame on the first ballot and the word debate is not the right one here, because there should be no heated discussion about it, at all there is nothing in the form of vitriol.
Allen, as those who follow the CFL even at an arms length know, the 23-year veteran, recently was passed over by the Halls selection committee. This despite a career that includes the most passing yards of any player in any pro league on the planet, most rushing yards by a quarterback, four Grey Cup rings and three Grey Cup MVP awards.
Perhaps its because its something that is just accepted since it has been happened before, but the Canadian Football Hall of Fames refusal to recognize such a legendary player is not getting the veins popping among the CFL types who have gathered for leagues annual congress.
The Hall has so many people to look at and I know they struggle with it every year, Calgary Stampeders president Lyle Bauer said. We just have to trust it. They are doing the best they can.
People have their opinions, they lobby and push, but I think those guys have a difficult time given the number of people who can be considered. Its a tough job.
The notion that Allen eventually will get in does not wash. Of course he will get in. But not on first ballot? There is nothing wrong with the CFL career that Danny McManus had, but theres no way McManus should have been honoured before Allen.
Im not sure how they do those things, but I think everybody is of the opinion, myself included, that it is just going to be a matter of time before Damon will get voted into the Hall of Fame, Hamilton Tiger-Cats general manager Bob OBillovich said. Sometimes players get in posthumously, but Damon is a young enough guy that it is never going to be a factor for him for something like that.
We would hope not.
If the Halls inability to enshrine the 47-year-old outlives Allen, then its a lot worse than we thought.
Thats another weird aspect of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame (not, as some think, overseen by the CFL, as commissioner Mark Cohon does not know who is getting in until he is told). Even men who are decades-old veterans of the league such as OBillovich arent quite sure how things work behind the Halls thick, metal (we presume) doors.
Toronto Argonauts head coach and general manager Jim Barker, whose association with the league is lengthy but not approaching that of OBillovich, also is in the dark when it comes to the Hall and how people are voted in.
I dont know enough about the process, Barker said. I have no idea how it happens. I have no concept of how it works.
(Allen) had a great career and was a great player.
If men who are directly involved with the CFL, who earn their salaries every day trying to make the game better, dont know much about what is going on behind closed doors at the Hall, there is no hope for fans.
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange would have a tough time cracking this nut.
Its a bizarre situation at best. Were not talking about keeping international secrets. Its the Canadian Football Hall of Fame for heavens sake. Making the nomination process transparent wont kill anybody who is involved in voting, and fans would have a true debate on their hands if the candidates were revealed months in advance.
Thats where Allen loses in this. It should be inconceivable that a player of his accomplishments and whether he should have been in the Hall right away is being discussed. Allen, who has been mostly quiet on the snub, has been dragged into a story that should not have happened in the first place.
Put it this way had Allen been voted in on the first ballot, no one would have been arguing that he was not a deserving choice.

Dean: Dems 'big tent' party now
When Howard Dean got to Washington just under four years ago, he didn't know what to expect.
Well, no, that's not true. He did know what to expect. He expected to find the kind of people he had always detested: Washington insiders, slick operators and politicos.
Story Continued Below
Thursday, I asked Dean what he had actually found. He quoted Harry Truman.
"Your friends in Washington are the ones who stab you in the front," he said.
But then Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, hastened to add: "I really enjoyed it, despite the fact I campaigned against Washington [when he ran for president in 2004]. I don't exactly like armed combat, but I enjoyed most of the people here.
"The culture here is a little tough sometimes. But I feel pretty good about the caliber of the people who represent us [in Congress]. I have to say I like them, and most keep their word. I can't think of anybody who has lied to my face. I couldn't imagine saying that four years ago."
Those warm feelings apply, however, only to Democrats.
"I don't have much dealings with anybody but Democrats," Dean said. "Maybe someday in the future."
Dean will not run for a second term as chairman of the DNC. Under him, the party picked up 50 House seats in the last two elections and at least a dozen Senate seats. A Democrat has also been elected to the White House.
Whether Dean would like to join the administration of that Democrat, he would not say. (Which usually means yes.) He is a medical doctor who began his presidential run in 2004 not by talking about the Iraq war, which became his signature issue, but by talking about health care, especially child health care.
And Dean did have praise for Obama's new chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, who has clashed with Dean in the past. Emanuel wanted the DNC's money spent for the election of Democratic candidates to the House, and Dean wanted to spend a lot of it on putting paid DNC staffers in all 50 states, even some states that Democratic candidates rarely won.
"This is all business," Dean said Thursday. "Rahm had his job to do to elect as many people as possible immediately, and my job was to take a long view for the Democratic Party. It was never personal, colorful as we both may be. And Rahm has more than landed on his feet. He has got a great job now."
The DNC is now at least $15 million in debt, in part, Dean said, because it was fighting in places where it had never really fought before and winning such formerly Republican states as North Carolina and Virginia. "And we are going to defend North Carolina and Virginia next time," Dean said, "which is better than throwing rocks uphill, which is what we had to do this time."

Brad Rock: Kruger and Company open for business on Ute Pro Day

Y Grad/Y Dad:
"The only thing that might make a cougar fan insecure is the obvious inability in three of the last four games to muster just a few more points to defeat the team on the hill."
Yes, and we Ute fans have been seeing such a vast outpouring of cougar insecurity over this past decade. However, you missed the part about cougar fans' insecurity skyrocketing once we were "Fully Invited" to join the conference your fans have been pretending to negotiate "secretly" for membership status over at least the past 3 decades, and the following rejection by every elite expanding conference....leaving you with no place to go but the WAC.
"Getting players drafted is not a team goal,..."
No, but then again, neither is "recruiting". But drafted players impact recruiting, and recruiting impacts depth. And player personnel impact overall team goals.

The only thing that might make a cougar fan insecure is the obvious inability in three of the last four games to muster just a few more points to defeat the team on the hill. You see, that is always one of several team goals. Getting players drafted is not a team goal, but it's great stuff to talk about once the final whistle has sounded.
Krugers are a great family, and I'm hoping Star's situation either proves not that serious or easily treatable. Long life and much success to them all.
Naval Vet Philadelphia, PAMarch 22, 2013 9:34 a.m.
Y Grad/Y Dad:
"The insecurity around here is just a little comical."
Seeing former Ute players getting drafted (or even listed high on draft lists) doesn't promote insecurity within Ute fan circles.
Oh, wait! YOU meant from the INDY-WACers -- whose fanbase hadn't really seen too many of their own alumni see as much success as their big brother on the Hill.
Yeah...I can see it now.
Poor insecure Indy-WACers.

Shouldn't you be more concerned about comparing total draft picks with Colorado? They are your new rival now, right? You've left BYU behind. Right?
It was just a sincere compliment guys. Your welcome.
Wallbanger Spanish Fork, UTMarch 21, 2013 4:32 p.m.
I agree with you in the fact that I don't think Dave and Joe are near as good as Paul. Even though Paul played against MWC talent, I still think he is way better. I remember when Paul first came to the U, he was playing for Urban, and Urban made a comment, about who was this guy who kept knocking down passes and giving the QBs all the trouble they could handle, and that guy was Paul. He sure impressed Coach Meyer a lot. Good luck to these guys though, especially Star.
AZUTE1 Mesa, AZMarch 21, 2013 2:51 p.m.
Excellent representation for our proud, storied program up there on The Hill.
Question--What's the current stat-line on KW/BM in player-development, in terms of total number of draft-picks produced? Anybody? I can't imagine BM helped himself much in this regard w/his recent haul of 2-Star recruits....Impressive, to say the very least.

Y grad... don't get ahead of yourself. I mean really? Don't be too desperate to knock Ute football.
I just don't see anybody going to the NFL as a draft pick. I wish them all the best.
Go Utes!
xert Santa Monica, CAMarch 21, 2013 8:32 a.m.
Anyone who pays any interest to the defensive side of the football could tell that Paul was something special from the beginning. The other two? I never felt that either came anywhere near "starring" for the Utes. Strong football family, but to compare Dave and Joe to Paul? No.
thebigsamoan Richmond, VAMarch 21, 2013 7:49 a.m.
Congrats to the Krugers and Lotulelei on their success! I hope the younger Kruger siblings will be just as successful as their older brother. The Ute nation must be so proud of the great representation these kids bring to their program. Most of all, I hope they'll stay true to their values and beliefs and not allow fame and fortune to corrupt them. Their parents must be very proud. Great article!
Y Grad / Y Dad Richland, WAMarch 21, 2013 7:31 a.m.

According to a story in the news yesterday, 23 is the ideal age to become a mum if you wish to have a big family. And even if you're hoping to have just one child, you should crack on with it before the age of 32.
The Daily Mail reports:
The advice comes from scientists who crunched together fertility data on more than 58,000 women to create an at-a-glance calculator.
It tells a woman the best age to start a family – and makes it clear that IVF is not a guarantee for those who wait.
We've all heard about the risks of delaying motherhood, and it seems as though fertility experts aren't holding any punches when it comes to explaining that time isn't on your side if you want to have a family in your thirties.
But what's your view? I had my babies when I was 28, 30 and 37 - and I don't mind admitting that I worried sick throughout my last pregnancy that I was over the hill and putting myself and my baby at all sorts of risks by choosing to have a child so 'late'. But in hindsight, I wish I hadn't let the media scaremongering spin me into a state of worry during what was otherwise a perfect pregnancy and labour.
What age were you when your babies were born, and did you pay any attention to the experts' advice about not delaying motherhood?
We'd love to hear your views on the 'right' age to start a family, either in the comments below or over on our Facebook page.

Looking for php work
I am looking for some php work, to primarily extend my portfolio, and to further my php knowledge.
Examples of scripts I have made a guestbook, a blogging tool, which development is going to resume shortly. Both of these scripts have had password protected areas.
As well as this, I have done some misc php, such as email validation, str_replace and so on.
The work can be for a one off or a more regular set up.
If you have any work that requires beginner-intermediate php/mysql work, please contact me via email@example.com
I am a student, and the reason behind is to fill my portfolio, so I will work for fairly low cost.
Thanks in advance

In other articles I have addressed various techniques to offer the mix engineer a variety of perspectives from which the final mix can be sculpted. I explored close, then distant perspectives, and brought up the concept of what for lack of a better term I called "altered" perspective. What child hasn't at some time listened to the world through an empty toilet-paper roll held up to his or her ear, and marveled at the way this alters the perception of the audio universe?
When I began recording, the tools I could afford were so marginal that lo-fi recording was the only type of recording I could ever hope to make. (Little did I know that since then lo-fi has gained some measure of respectability, at least in some circles...) All this while I hoped to work in a "real" studio where I could begin to make my recordings sound more like the "hi-fi" albums I grew up listening to.
When I finally began working regularly in well-equipped studios, I never looked back at my lo-fi roots until I had the distinct good fortune to work as a musician on a project engineered by Tchad Blake. Tchad's discography is long and distinguished. At the time I worked with him, he blew my mind, using a variety of "mechanical filters" and various cheap microphones, stomp boxes and other cheesy tools, some of them commercially available, some made by him in his home workshop. After working with him, I realized that lo-fi sounds are just as valid as any hi-fi tool in the engineer's toolbox.
The toilet-paper roll is a great example of what I mean by a "mechanical filter". When sound passes through it, the signal is indelibly altered. Depending on the size, shape and makeup of a mechanical filter, various resonances and phase distortion can radically alter the essential nature of the sound passing through it. For some it's an acquired taste, to be sure, but if you have an active imagination, this kind of sonic manipulation is literally as near as your recycling bin—you just have to play around with how it can make your recordings more interesting.
Hanging around my studio are all sorts of bits and pieces of pipe, fittings, and doodads made of brass. Ever find yourself with a little time to kill? eBay is a great source of inexpensive random objects! Out of respect to Tchad, I won't give away any of the filters he used on our project. However, I will give away the secrets to a couple of my most favorite such implements.
I had the great good fortune to be asked to compose and produce the underscore for the Sony Pictures Classics film, Masked & Anonymous, starring Bob Dylan and a veritable Who's Who of Hollywood. In one of my cues, I was looking for a way to make the drum kit more interesting. I wanted it to have a transformative property. So...!
I went to my recycling bin and grabbed a two-liter soda pop bottle. I cut off the bottom. I grabbed one of my Shure SM54s and moving from the bottom of the bottle to the neck, connector end first, stuck its body through the neck, then duct-taped the two together so they would hold their relative positions.
I attached a mic stand adapter to the mic, and focused the bottom of the former pop bottle on an area of the drumkit where kick and snare were roughly of the same loudness, then went to the control room to complete this science project. I plugged the mic into a Tech 21 SansAmp (with all credit to Tchad for this particular step), then passed the signal through a UREI 1176 on the way to Pro Tools. With credit to the performance of drummer John Hanes, the result is a myopic, unusual sound which fit the visuals perfectly to my taste.
I live in an area in which there are many antique shops. In particular, one of these shops is into old audio and film equipment. I found a beautiful old horn from an original Edison Dictaphone at this shop. The complexity of this horn's shape imparts an indescribably interesting character to the sounds that travel through it. Recently, working with Camper Van Beethoven bassist and solo artist Victor Krummenacher on an upcoming album (as yet not titled), I shaped the entire character of one of the tracks with the sound of the drums through this horn. Once it's released, if you get a chance, check out a track called "Queen City". Just a DPA IMK4061 crammed into the narrow end of the horn, focused on the trapset from about ten feet away, and fed into a Universal Audio 6176 with plenty of gain and in the "All-Buttons-In" setting. This one ingredient helped push the production of the entire track in the direction it needed to go.

text: I have a job of removing an existing retaining wall (just placing bricks to the side) and putting it back. The foundation of the house is cracking and has to be fixed. The wall has to be removed in order to fix the foundation. These are the larger bricks (about 12" wide, 30 lb.) It is only 3 bricks tall and about 20 ft. long. There are roughly 150 bricks total. Right now I'm thinking of charging $1 per brick to remove and 2$ per brick to put back. I may charge 3$ per brick on the base. Also, the original installer placed them on just dirt. Should I put gravel on the base before I reinstall? I am new to this type of job. Please help.

PHILADELPHIA - At the Winter Classic, it was classic Philadelphia Flyers.
Done in by some questionable goaltending on a big, glittering stage -- how many times have you heard that -- this time by young Sergei Bobrovsky, the Flyers lost 3-2 to the New York Rangers in the NHL's made-for-TV outdoor event at Citizens Bank Park.
A new, storybook stage, a snowglobe snow falling in the second period; a story that must be getting so tired for Flyers fans, snarly at the best of times.
Rangers forward Mike Rupp stuck it to the Flyers and their fans among the 46,967 at the ball park, scoring two goals. He jabbed the Flyers with a mock bare-handed salute a la Jaromir Jagr after his first to make it 2-1 for Philly, which got the Rangers back in a game in which they had no business being but for the goaltending of the brilliant Henrik Lundqvist, the heart of this gritty Rangers team.
Rupp's second, which tied it 2-2 before the third period was three minutes old, was a stinker on Bobrovsky, as he burrowed into his shoulders and made himself small, the puck squeezing by him on the short side.
Brad Richards got the winner just past the five-minute mark of the third, jumping on a big rebound and pushing the Rangers four points ahead of the Flyers at the top of the Eastern Conference standings. Rupp and Richards, two summer free agent signings, have been keys to the Rangers' ascension in the East, two guys contributing at opposite ends of the depth chart.
Rupp, who played in last year's Winter Classic with the Pittsburgh Penguins, said the foreign environment and the less-than-perfect ice conditions level the playing field for grinders like himself.
"Games like this -- first off, the ice was awesome, a lot better than it was last year, but over the course of the game it starts wearing -- it kind of gives guys like me more of an opportunity to get something ugly," he said. "My whole thinking is if I get a chance to shoot, I'm going to shoot. If my teammate is there, I'm going to the net. I threw it in there and I think it banked off (Bobrovsky). It didn't go straight in. You just take those ugly ones."
But that's been the story for the Flyers for most of this generation of Philly fans, hasn't it? Questionable goaltending on a big stage?
On what started out as a brilliant, sunny afternoon, the lingering shadow is once again the one that falls on the Flyers' crease. Bobrovsky got the start over Ilya Bryzgalov, the quirky, $51-million free agent who has been brilliant on HBO's 24/7; much less so on the ice.
"There's no issue. We have no issue," said Flyers owner Ed Snider in the Philly room after the game. "We have two good goalies. We'll be fine. We're fighting for first place so something must be going well. They can't be that bad."
At the other end of the ice, Lundqvist was brilliant, no more so than with 20 seconds left in the third period, he stopped Philadelphia's Daniel Briere on a penalty shot which was awarded after a goalmouth scramble, a call that left the Rangers livid. It was like the NHL was trying to create some drama for its marquee event.
"I'm not sure if NBC got together with the refs or what to turn this into an overtime game. So for two good refs, I thought the game was reffed horribly," said Rangers coach John Tortorella of the work by Ian Walsh and Dennis LaRue. "So I'm not sure what happened there. Maybe they wanted to get into overtime. I'm not sure if they had meetings about that or what. But we stood in there. We stood in there. And again, I don't want to -- because they are good guys; I just thought tonight, it was, in that third period, it was disgusting."
The Flyers had a 2-0 lead on goals by Brayden Schenn and Claude Giroux before that little bit of snow started drifting down in the second period. Either that or the Flyers fans in the upper deck at Citizens Bank Park started shredding those vintage, off-white Rangers sweaters.
For a good chunk of the opening 20 minutes, it looked like the Flyers could have started 66-year-old Bernie Parent, the Flyers Cup-winning goaltender who played a brief stint in the alumni game Saturday and stopped Ron Duguay on a breakaway. But the Flyers lost Jagr in the second (he aggravated a calf injury he picked up from a spear in his previous game, he said) and the Rangers mounted their comeback.
Goaltending was the difference in this one and once again, it was the Flyers who were left out in the cold.

JESUP | The city Police Department will be going old-school at the end of the week when it completes a move into its new headquarters.
Actually, the department will be moving from one old school to another.
"We're going from the old high school to the old elementary school," City Manager Mike Deal said.
Deal, who has the reputation of being a wheeler-dealer, enlisted prison labor to do most of the construction and renovation work on a building that was donated by the Wayne County school board.
"That's the best thing about it," Police Chief Glenn Takaki said. "He saved the city hundreds of thousands of dollars."
The city has $200,000 in "hard dollars" tied up in the new building, Deal said, and he valued the prison labor at $150,000.
"It would've cost $1 [million] to $2 million to build a new building probably," he said, "and it probably would not have been the finest building we could have built either."
Takaki heads up a 30-man force that includes 25 sworn police officers, a couple of animal control offices and three clerical workers. The headquarters building the department is vacating is inadequate in size, facilities and maintenance, he said.
"We've been in here since 2003 and it's seen its better days," he said. "The infrastructure is crumbling, the air conditioning doesn't work and the roof leaks."
At approximately 3,000 square feet, the present location was just too small and cramped, Takaki said.
"The new place is absolutely bigger," he said. "It's around 23,000 square feet and right now our needs are only a little over half of that. There's plenty of room for expansion."
The new headquarters is outfitted with a courtroom, training room, crime laboratory, evidence storage, lobby and offices.
The interior of the building has been rewired and repainted, a drop ceiling has been installed and new rest room fixtures have replaced the old kid-size ones.
"We have actually been given the gift of a lifetime," Takaki said.
The new police station will occupy only a part of the traditional old red brick school. Three Rivers Regional Libraries System has its headquarters there and the Boys and Girls Club uses the gym and one of the buildings.
Takaki said Friday is the day the changeover will be made.
"We've been moving actually for the past week or so," he said. "But all services will be changed over on Friday."

Advertising groups including WPP and Publicis have predicted a significant uplift in revenues next year, thanks to the combined impact of the Olympics and a US Presidential election.
However, Mr Crozier said Britain should not expect the same level of increase as other countries that host the Games: "We will get a positive reaction from the Olympics [but] not as much as some people say. People quote things like 5pc to 7pc growth in other markets but people tend to forget that's because in every other country it's been [on] a commercial broadcaster," he told the Broadcasting Press Guild. "We obviously will not see that kind of uplift."
The ITV chief executive said his company was ahead of revenue expectations and that demand for advertising slots around The X-Factor is as high this year as in 2010, despite a decline in viewing figures.
Answering questions that the show was struggling and speaking ahead of its final this weekend – ITV's biggest weekend of the year - Mr Crozier said: "Define 'in trouble'. If you add the Saturday and Sunday [shows] together, The X-Factor is still the biggest show in the UK. The demand has been every bit as high as in previous years, in terms of people chasing to be on it."
However, Mr Crozier admitted that ITV was having difficulty identifying an eventual successor to the show, blaming an industry-wide dearth of ideas for new entertainment juggernauts.
ITV, which is eyeing the ownership of intellectual property rights to new shows as the lynch-pin in its turnaround plan, would eventually like to buy a US production company to help bolster its output. "We need to get ITV Studios right, but as we go forward we will be looking overseas. When you look at the flow of content around the world there are only three significant centres - the US, the UK and, to a lesser extent, Scandinavia and Benelux," said Mr Crozier.

Written on: 21/05/2012 by sluggybaby (1 review written)
I had my roof line replaced by weatherseal in February this year, while the guys were installing it they somehow managed to cut through my wiring, (with the installer giving himself a hefty shock,) this left me without any downstairs lighting for 2 days, I was informed by weatherseal that their own electricians were very busy and I should go ahead and get a local electrician and weatherseal would refund me my money, before this was agreed, weatherseal tried to say it was my own fault as my electric was a mess, whilest I had a local electrician to fix the wiring I asked him if this was the case and he said defiantly not, that there was nothing wrong with my wiring, so the bill came to £176.28. I forwarded the invoices as told by weatherseal, that was in February, it is now the end of May, and I am now still waiting for my refunded money, I have been on the phone to weatherseal every week since February, and today after phoning yet again, I was told it would take 46 weeks for their banking department to process my cheque, 46 weeks, yet they managed to sort out finance there and then when I agreed to buy their roof line, what a joke, 46 weeks, that's nearly a year, to process a cheque, the roof line cost me over £3000, and it's not even straight.what a joke, don't ever use this company.!

We know what Mike Huckabee meant. Sort of. Kind of. But, really?
Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate, talk-show host and erstwhile Baptist preacher, was trying to demythologize the alleged Republican "war on women" so brilliantly defined by Democrats in 2012.
Speaking at the Republican National Committee winter meeting Thursday, Huckabee said it was time to "no longer accept listening to the Democrats talk about a war on women." Republicans aren't waging a war on women, he said. "They have a war for women."
The alleged war on women was based essentially on the notion that people who think abortion is a bad idea — or who don't think the government should mandate insurance coverage for birth-control coverage — are anti-woman. Democrats point mainly to new state laws that have limited access to abortion, not to mention the unforgettable observations of a few Republican men about "legitimate" rape and so on.
Whatever one's own position, Republicans could be characterized as waging a war on women only if no women agreed with the premises mentioned above. Protecting the rights of the unborn and fighting for freedom of conscience are not concerns only of men, nor should reproduction be the purview only of women.
But leave alone for a moment the principles and postulations of the reproductive debate. Most Americans have carved out their positions by now and the arguments are well-enough known. What Huckabee was saying was that women are not just packages of reproductive parts whose lives are circumscribed by access to birth control.
This is the thinking he ascribes to Democrats. Instead, he said, Republicans are fighting a war for women "to be empowered to be something other than victims of their gender."
Not bad so far, but then … uh-oh.
"And if the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it, let us take that discussion all across America because women are far more than the Democrats have played them to be."
That is one long sentence, punctuated with several highlight-worthy words — "helpless," "libido," "Uncle Sugar" and, never far from the male Republican mind, "reproductive system."
Paging Dr. Freud …
Rather than end the idea of a Republican war on women, Huckabee has merely provided fresh fodder to Democrats, while reminding women why they don't want to associate with this crowd. Clueless.

Though I dont love it so I had to vote on the last option
That motor looks like a KP00 but where is the rest of the equipment? Right now it looks like an FF model.
BTW, I'm not asking for a plan, is this thread the list you are referring to?
Hi Mathew,
Yes you are correct the motor is the popular KP00 with their pitchable props. The model is waiting to be fitted with electronics. I am not sure how the RFFS100 unit with actuators will work in this particular model since the control of such is not in the typical fashion ( 3/8 hole for the actuator and magnet directly glued to the control surface (Rudder/Elevator) and since I use a special mechanical system designed specifically for my trikes. But my expectations are that it will, since the model is extremly lightweight and one can install actuators in similar fashion to servos.
There are some folks that have designed tiny controllers. Dan Hurd's , Aerovironments, and others are some with controller possibilites that I hope to try on this particualr model. I hoped to attract their attention and perhaps share my finding of thier oproducts on these particualr Trike designs of mine.
I am still waiting on some actuators from Bob Selman, I think he is having a bit of hard time keeping up with demand for such. Understandably given the popularity of these micro machines requiring cush small ontroll devices.
I don't have the time to make my own controllers and people like Dan and ohters are doing awonderful job at making available these these tiny control systems to the public.
You keep my inspiration with Trikes going!.
I realize Trikes are unique models that perhaps too modern and simplistic for people that like the more traditional models. Something like what I am desining has not been available before so perjhaps there is a bit of uncertainty about these models. SOmetimes people get a bit reserved with things that they are not too familiar with or don;t quite understand the working of it. People are more familiar with what they ofetn see and are more exposed to. Thus the popularity of more traditional models.
But when You see a Trike like my larger or even the smaller ones in flight, I am sure it will change aynone's perspective about these models. They fly majestically like real birds. My Mechanical control system allows for tight and precise tight radius turns and self leveling control, you have to see these things in action to believe. My neighbors have seen them fly and crash many times, they always comment "I can't believe that thing is still flyng" , this is what makes them attractive to me, try that with a bipe or more scalke model and you'll proibablyt end up aving to repqair the model when you land too hard or crash against an object.
In the next week or so I will have a video of the larger and hopefully the smaller ones as in this post. Depends how fast I get Dan's and Bob S parts for the micro trike posted here. Hopefully they'll come through and help me get this little trike up in the air sooner.
Mario I. Arguello
I'd prefer a version in the 3-4oz. category. I'm still not into the sub-ounce stuff mainly because I still have a bundle of westec and GWS stuff to use.
I myself love trikes/Rogallos/ultralights, whether RC or full size. So keep churning them out.

Thank You
As you know, I am going to get a Z-tron, which i think would be fantastic for the "Nano-Trike". I am going to a indoor meeting, and am sure that if i went with one of these they would be amazed (they only allow scale, and this is!!!!)
Look forward to more information
30" RC Trike - Successful Flights!
I just flew a larger version of Trike in the photo above! . I decided to do a 30" version so that the popular Hitec 3 CH FM transmitter and Gws equipment could still be used. I don't have the new GWS motors and gear boxes so I had to make my own using a MIA Robin 280 micro heli ball bearing tail gear box with a thin light spur gear, MIA's stainless Steel 64P pinion, stainless steel 3/32 shaft and a Peck Polymer 6" prop.
It was a bit windy and dark already, lit only by the light of the cul-de-sac, butI coldn't wait to try it.
It flew almost as good as my larger version MIA RC Trike for park flying (See Park Flyers Section for photos of my larger versions). I need to desensitize the controls a little bit more so response is not as snappy, this is simply placoing the control rods one notch lower on the servo horns. I had a few rough landings but since the model is built from carbon and riptop nylon with spring wire landing gear, only the battery came loose nothing else happened, just like my larger versions. Once again my neighbors got a kick out of this new little gem.
I am so into these models, 1) because they are unique and there is nothing in the world like them, 2) they are a lot of fun and I don't have to worry about repairs, they are so light and indestructible!.
If I were to compare my Trike with another model that is popular by its indestructibility, it would have to be the IFO's since they are simple and built from similar materials. However, Trikes are more appealing because they look more realistic like the real thing and not just a flying wing. Although my trikes can snap and reover really fast and can do mild aerobatics, the IFO's are more aerobatic due to their all flat wing and control surfaces with in line motors.
I will take photos in daylight and post those next. This size will also be a kit.
Wing Span: 30"
Win area: 1 sq ft
Weight Incl. 7 cell NMH Battery: 2.5 oz
Wing Loading: 2.5 oz/sq ft
Power System: MIA Robin 280 micro heli tail gear box with 3/32 SS shaft and SS 64P pinion on N20 motor.
Prop: 6" Peck Polymer indoor prop.
Hitec Focus 3 channel FM TX with mixing.
2- Hitec Hs-50 servos
GWS 4ch micro receiver
Battery: 7 cell- 1/3 AAA NMH heavier by today's LiPol cells.
Model will fly muh lighter with 2 LIPOL 170mah or similar size cells.
Picture below shows model next to a small MIA ultralight and a lightweight indoor Heli.
Mario I. Arguello
Indestructible? I like that idea. Put me down for the 30 parkflyer version.
More photos. Videos. Please.
You got it!,
Some in flight photos.
I Want, I Need, I Have to Have NOW....
Dont have the equipment for the 18" version but am VERY interested in a set of plans for the 30" version. I need something other than my absolutely awesome IFO to fly in front of my house. I love buzzing the elementary school 50 yards up the street and hearing the kids yell out make it do this and make it do that. This would definitely be a treat for both them and me.
I can't handle it much longer... I need one NOW...

Lancaster and Hershey!
Thanks to all the Roadfooders for their recommendations for our recent trip. We ate breakfast at Shady Maple in East Earl and you were right, well worth the trip there! My husband is a breakfast man and he was so impressed. It equals most of the casino breakfast buffets we have enjoyed in the past. We also stopped at Jennie's Diner in Ronks and the amount of food they serve is impressive. We weren't very hungry so we got a salad each, one shared would have filled us up. I enjoyed the warm bacon dressing. I was so sorry we didn't have room for desserts, they looked divine!! We had dinner at Dienners before leaving Lancaster area. Their buffet isn't as large as others in the area. It was enough, was tasty and cheaper. I was disappointed that they didn't have fried chicken. The pork with kraut was good, reminded me of eastern NC BBQ. Breakfast at The Filling Station in Palmyra was also very good.
Our return trip to Hershey was enjoyable. We stayed at The Suites at Hershey for the first time, they were very nice and so convenient to sites and restaurants. Troegs brewery is next door so we had dinner there. You can take a free self-guided tour through the facility. I had the clam Po'Boy, tasty but not equal to those in New England or NOLA, with a very good potato salad. My hubby had a delicious Troegswurst sandwich. The following morning we followed your advice and went to Hershey Pantry for breakfast, The Suites of Hershey also had it on their list as a must for breakfast. The meal was wonderful!! It was busy so we sat at the counter and got to see the food come out. One pancake was enough for anyone-it was draped over the large plate. We had a traditional breakfast that had homemade bread. The sunflower bread was excellent! Another favorite meal was Parkside Restaurant. The $3.50 a doz. clams were the best!! We split an order of fried dill pickles (spears rather than the usual rounds) and a Philly hoagie.

In the beginning...Before Cat meets Jira
richard moh
Thursday, 07 April 2016
It's been about a year now...From the coffee chat that spurred the CatJira...
For the past months, there has been constant question revolving around "who are the people behind CatJira". Allow me to to have you seated with your head rested, and get to know us better through social space.
Circa 2014, the idea of making a positive change to influencers like you was spurred over coffee. Where? Artisan Roast in Taman Tun Dr Ismail (somewhere in Malaysia). I could still recall the table we were seated at.
What does CatJira mean?
This is part of the story that usually gets people in awe :) When we were thinking of it, a short-haired brown cat passed in front of us, hence the "Cat" portion.
Jira (a portion of the word "gojhira") then came in to make the act snazzy.
We used to have a maroon coloured Cat-headed godzilla logo before this.
What is the problem you embark on solving?
Influencers more often than not started by taking it up as a hobby; writing blog articles, snapping visually engaging pictures, and putting up parody videos as their favourite past time. The satisfaction of content creation grows in them when their content begin to reach out and engage like-minded audience. Influencers speak with a voice different than those of brands, influencers evoke conversations in social media.
Influencers are then the perfect bridge between brands and their audience. They are prized by their persona, content angle, and efforts put in to create shareable and engaging content.
However, for those who are looking into creating content a a potential career chances may slip pass them because of the following:
Not discovered by marketers in the sea of social media influencers
Not knowing who are the marketers they could approach
Not knowing where the influencer communities that are relevant to them
Flaw in the industry treating content as advertisement boards (where value only comes with audience reach instead of content quality)
New to digital content optimization
How should influencers prepare reports if they are to work with marketers
And the list could go on endlessly. But this should not be the case, influencers should be able to focus on creating content while having all these concerns taken away from them.
THAT is our mission as a company. To enable influencers focus on creating engaging and shareable content while having technology to take care of all the non-content related concerns.
What are you going to do about it?
Building technologies for influencers under one platform is our contribution to the community of influencers. All technologies built for influencers are free.
We achieve this by working closely with influencers of all tiers to better understand their needs and continuously improve CatJira. Our greatest satisfaction is when you are a happy influencer.
