In the 8 years that I have been surfing, I've never seen a flat spell this long. We are going on 4 weeks without a decent wave out there. Does anyone recall a longer period of time without waves?

we almost always have flat spells like this, but usually in July/August and not so much in June.
Summer sucks
Quit your whining. there has been small waves to surf. it hasn't been totally flat. if you have a big log I'm sure u could of caught some nice lines yesterday evening worthy of throwing some toes off the nose. if Ur going to complain. take a trip Cali is nice during the summer and so are other south pacific destinations.
btw we better hope the cane season doesn't bring up the mess that is in the gulf. maybe we should fix that b4 we start complaining about how we want some waves
it's alwayz flat on thu east coast...this iz normal. i'd either move tuh Cali. or start your own prostitution ring...
I'm usually traveling around this time of year so I guess thats why I've never noticed. The last 2 or 3 years were pretty decent durring the spring, summer and fall. I got a baby on the way otherwise I would've been out!!!! Kman, Now thats a good idea hit me up brah, I got a few smuts we can put out there!!! lmao

We have been to Venice nine or ten times over the past 15 years and have posted extensively on our experiences. (I am the first person to ever post on da Fiore and Alle Testiere). On the upcoming trip I am looking for somewhere new to compliment a return visit to Alle Testiere which we have fallen in love with over the years and have been back to on every trip. Over time we have also eaten at, probably thirty or more other restaurants ranging from da Fiore to Corte Sconta to Fiescheterria Toscana, all of these dating back to the early '90's. This is very specific since many restaurants are closed on Monday evening which is the night I am "researching."
Has anyone been to:
1. Osteria di Santa Maria
2. Canaletto
Our preference is for Osteria di Santa Maria since it sounds very similar to Testiere. Any thoughts?

The act of creating, in one form or another, preserves my sanity amongst the chaos of life. This explains why I always have more than one project going at a time as well as why my housework tends to fall behind. I enjoy seeing what others are working on and keeping calm with, too. What are you creating? What is keeping you going? Snap a picture or two, post it on your blog, on Instagram #craftingon and/or Flickr and then share it with the rest of us by leaving your link below.
I finished Baby F's acorn mittens and what a pleasant surprise it was to knit them. I had forgotten just how quickly tiny mittens knit up. Perhaps even more surprising was that my baby boy (you know, the one who refuses to wear socks, hats, jackets or anything of that nature) saw me knitting them and had to try the finished one on straight away. When I placed it on his hand he clapped and giggled with delight. Then he demanded the other one that was still on my needles. I worked quickly to finish it for him as he watched over my shoulder a good portion of the time. Then he wore them both around the house on his hands part of the time but mostly on his feet. Silly guy. Now this is m favorite kind of knitting!
What are you working on? Happy creating!

The proof is in the pudding
I was questioning one of the ways we homeschool recently, falling prey to the opinion of others instead of trusting my intuition and what I know is right for my children. I allowed my better judgement to become clouded, thinking of the public school standards that are considered by some to be the norm. Then something my friend Heide told me years ago came to mind (as we discussed the very same topic I was troubled over): The proof is in the pudding. The wisdom of her words echoed inside my head as peace came over me. Yes. She was absolutely right. Thank you, Heide.
You see, Little L is six years old and does not yet know how to read, nor has he been taught to nor shown the readiness to. Typing this out now I realize how ridiculous it sounds to me, especially since both of my girls didn't learn until 1st and 2nd grade, around the ages of 7 and 8 (my oldest in a Waldorf school). They are now advanced readers, far surpassing their peers. They literally live to read. As Kevin and I discussed this very topic tonight he mentioned that K has already read more books (and not just any books but great literary works) in her twelve years of life than he has in his lifetime. I kid you not - If my girls were allowed to, they would spend all their days curled up with good books and writing and illustrating their own books. In all honesty, some days that does happen because really, can it get any better?! And oh the stories they have created! One of these days I will have to share excerpts from them here.
My goodness, the proof that I needed has been there all along, right before my eyes.
When you really think about it, childhood is short enough as it is - why should we try to rush it even more?! Everything has its time and season. We need to slow down and enjoy it. Let the children be wild and free as long as they can. They have the rest of their lives to be adults with all the worries and cares that come with it. Along the same line - what a gift it is to Little L (and to my girls when they were younger) to not be able to read the horrible headlines on the newspapers as we walk by or the gossip magazines in the grocery store checkout aisle or billboards as we drive in the car. To him, the world is still good. As it should be, at least until he is emotionally ready to handle the darkness along with the light.
One of my favorite librarians back in Idaho was originally from Germany. I remember one conversation we had about schooling (she knew we homeschooled) when she mentioned that back home children didn't begin learning to read until the age of 7. She couldn't understand why reading was taught here so early in America.
"First of all, nearly EVERY OTHER COUNTRY starts reading when children are 7, there are NO studies that show starting early reading is better in the long run for academic or professional success. Second of all, from a physical perspective, the eye is NOT fully developed for lateral tracking until age EIGHT, so perhaps those countries that are working with starting reading at the right time are based more upon the physiology of the child than the American system is! So please stop talking about "delayed academics"! How about talking about bringing in academics at the right time?!" - The Parenting Passageway
Evidence shows that normal, healthy children who learn to read after age 7 (considered relatively late by mainstream education) are not disadvantaged. Rather, these students are able to catch up quickly with, and may even overtake, children who have learned to read early. Additionally, children who learn to read after age 7 have been shown to be much less likely to develop the "tiredness toward reading" that many children who are taught to read at a very early age experience. Instead of tiredness or boredom, there is a lively interest in reading and learning that continues into adulthood. Whole life learning at its best. An excerpt entitled Better Late than Early notes, "The child will grow into an enthusiastic reader, and thus view reading not only as a tool for obtaining knowledge or keeping up with others but as an enjoyable activity." My girls prove this day in and day out - why did I let me confidence waiver? We are on the right path for us. The proof really is in the pudding.
Now this is not to dismiss the children that learn to read early at all. Every child is different. Some children will, out of their own initiative, want to learn to read at an early age. This interest can and should be met, as long as it comes from the child. Really, each child has his or her own optimal time for "taking off." Without being pushed, a healthy child will generally pick up reading quite quickly and easily.
So mamas, what this rather long winded post comes down to is this - Whatever teaching method you chose for your children, trust your gut and inner wisdom. Ignore the critics. Only you know what is best for your own children. You've got this!

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: whats wrong with this dang thang on 1994 Pontiac Firebird
i have a 94 firebird with the 3.4 and a 5 speed tranny, IT WONT START ive replaced the computer, the modul under the coil packs, yet i dont get any power to the wires that go into the coil packs, ive checked the wires with a test light and cant get any power to the coil packs what could it be? somebody got any advice what to check or replace next?
First and foremost, NEVER use a test light to check any computer related wiring on your car, it will BLOW the computer! Next, you need to find out whether your are getting a crank signal. you can check this by cranking your motor and checking the injector pulse with a noid light or injector test light, NOT a regular test light. If you have no injector pulse you will NEVER have spark! if no pulse go here and trace down the steps for engine cranks but won't start. http://bit.ly/alldata_repair_manuals

Marriage breakdown my fault: Michael Caine
The 79-year-old married Haines when he was 22-year-old and accepts that he could not cope up with things after he became a father.
"Pat became pregnant and we had our wonderful daughter Dominique, who is now 56. But it was the wonderful straw that broke an already very weak camel's back," thesun.co.uk quoted Caine as saying.
"I walked out of the marriage. The marriage breakdown was entirely my fault. I was too young and immature to take on the poverty and personal and professional failure," he added.
Caine is currently married to actress Shakira Baksh. He was recently seen in, 'The Dark Knight Rises'.

Can I match granite or marble slabs?
Matching slabs require a large inventory of granite or marble that is quarried from the same location at the same time.

To ensure customer satisfaction, our staff encourages customers to come view the actual layout with our production team. This appointment shows customers where any seams maybe located as well as pattern matches so that there are no surprises at installation.

Discovery Makes Safe Return
Sunday, March 29, 2009
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., March 28 -- The space shuttle Discovery and its crew of seven returned to Earth on Saturday, successfully wrapping up a construction mission at the international space station.
Discovery's 13-day flight -- which ended just as a new Russian-launched crew was settling into the space station -- was highlighted by the installation and unfurling of the station's last pair of solar wings. The $300 million addition brought the orbiting outpost up to full power, a vital part of NASA's plan to double the space station population and boost the amount of science research in a few months.
NASA conducted a heat shield test during Discovery's reentry. A new type of tile with a slight bump was attached beneath the shuttle's left wing to disrupt the hypersonic airflow. Engineers measured the extra heat generated on downstream tiles, and the area looked to be fairly clean afterward, officials said.
Discovery brought back four to five liters of recycled water that had been the astronauts' urine and sweat. The water was produced after Discovery delivered a new processor that fixed the recycling machine.
NASA hopes to have the water samples tested within a month. If the toxicology results are good, the three space station residents will start drinking the recycled water.

text: Denim Makers Adopt Eco-Friendly Methods Brands seeking to improve their environmental credentials can look beyond the use of organic cotton to a range of new products and technologies. By Ross Tucker on July 9, 2009 Brands seeking to improve their environmental credentials can look beyond the use of organic cotton to a range of new products and technologies that lower the levels of chemicals, water and energy needed to manufacture denim. Although the denim industry has long been known to be resource intensive, a full picture wasn't known publicly until Levi Strauss & Co. shared results of its life cycle assessment on what went into making one pair of its iconic Levi's 501 style. Examining the 2006 production year for jeans headed to the U.S. market, Levi's found that making one pair of 501s required almost 920 gallons of water, 400 megajoules of energy and expelled 32 kilograms of carbon dioxide. Levi's said this was equivalent to running a garden hose for 106 minutes, driving 78 miles and powering a computer for 556 hours. Using organic cotton, while quick and easy, does relatively little to change these types of numbers. Suppliers are now responding with the types of products that could carry a larger impact, but progress is slow. "Everyone is trying to uncover ways to save money and energy," said Andrew Olah, chief executive officer of Olah Inc., a U.S. agent for foreign contract manufacturers and textile and hardware vendors targeting denim designers. "The chemical companies who supply dyestuff are making it more and more irresistible. Change is happening, step by step, mill by mill." Spanish denim research and development company Jeanologia has launched two products aimed at significantly reducing energy and water usage. Its most recent product, an industrial washing machine dubbed the G2, was introduced in April after two years of development. Rather than relying on the traditional combination of water and chemicals to create various shades of denim, the G2 uses a process that relies on air. In addition to eliminating the use of water and chemicals, the G2 rids the finishing process of toxic emissions and dumping, and reduces overall energy usage. The company also estimated that the G2 cuts production time, energy consumption and cost per garment by more than 50 percent. With the introduction of the G2, Jeanologia also offered its own assessment of the impact of the denim industry. The company estimated that 158.5 billion gallons of water and 1.3 million tons of chemicals are used each year in the denim finishing process. Were the entire industry to adopt the G2 process for denim and other garments, Jeanologia believes the amount of water saved would supply Spain with enough drinking water for eight months. In 2001, Jeanologia introduced a textile laser to achieve distressed and vintage looks. Technologies have advanced to such a degree that the system now can scan a vintage pair of jeans and reproduce the exact look, down to the holes and abrasions, in less than a minute. The system eliminates the time and hand labor traditionally needed to achieve these looks in the factory, but more important, can eliminate the use of chemical abrasives. Chemical providers have been introducing lower-impact products, as well. DyStar, one of the largest suppliers of indigo to the denim industry, created a line of low-impact dyes last year. Novozymes has pioneered treatments utilizing enzymes that are environmentally safe. The company introduced DeniBleach last year, a process that decolorizes indigo using an enzyme rather than bleach. Lenzing Fibers has been working with denim mills to blend its cotton with between 20 and 25 percent Tencel, a cellulose fiber produced from eucalyptus. Spain's Tejidos Royo is combining organic cotton with Tencel for a collection of fabrics called HybriDenim. Lenzing asserts that by using 25 percent Tencel in denim, the acreage and water required for cotton cultivation is reduced by 25 percent. Tricia Carey, Lenzing's U.S. merchandising manager, believes progress on the environmental front hasn't been rapid, but for good reason. "I think they're slowly stepping into it," said Carey. "We've been very distracted the past nine months with what's going on at retail, so that's put a halt to things." Carey added some companies already may be using improved practices but not be marketing those efforts out of fear they could be accused of making exaggerated claims or green washing. Replay has worked with its suppliers to take advantage of some of these new production and manufacturing processes, and is showcasing those efforts in a collection called Just Add Water that will begin selling for fall. The company worked with chemical provider Clariant International on a new dyeing agent that lowers the yarn dyeing process from 12 trips through dyeing vats to just four. The process also keeps the waste water from being colored, eliminating the need for further chemical treatments to rid the waste water of harmful substances. "In an environment where you have less and less commodities available, and water is one of them, we want to make a commitment as a company and an industry," said Gaetano Sallorenzo, Replay's ceo. "We should commit to use less water." He also acknowledged the denim and fashion industry as a whole has been slow to adopt sustainable practices. "Most of the time you give priority to the aesthetics and how to get certain finishings," Sallorenzo said. "We've been behind as an industry. I think a lot of companies are now realizing that we have to make a commitment." Brands pushing an environmental message may face skeptical store buyers. Leah Eckelberger, owner of Boston's Jean Therapy, said her early experiences with green lines have not been positive. In some cases, fits were off and washes weren't consistent. "We do have customers that come in and ask for it, but what trumps the eco-friendly aspect is the fit, wash and style," Eckelberger said. "We'd love to find a brand that can do it, with a fit that just works really well, but we have yet to find that."

Skating Polly
Canker Blossom
DC9 Nightclub
1940 9th St. NW
Washington, DC, 20001
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
Born from an impromptu jam at a Halloween party in 2009, Skating Polly is a sister duo made up of Kelli Mayo and Peyton Bighorse. They recorded their first album Taking Over the World in their living room. Their second album Lost Wonderfuls was produced by Exene Cervenka and mixed by Flaming Lips drummer Kliph Scurlock. For their third album, Fuzz Steilacoom, Skating Polly traveled up to Olympia, WA and recorded at Dub Narcotic Studio with Calvin Johnson (K Records/Beat Happening). Prolific songwriters who are constantly recording when they are not on the road, the duo will be releasing their new album The Big Fit in the spring of 2016.
Raised on '70s punk and early-'90s alt-rock, Mayo and Bighorse mine inspiration from artists as disparate as Johnny Cash, The Ramones, Nirvana, Neutral Milk Hotel, and Bikini Kill and saturate their own songs with a raw energy reminiscent of their musical heroes. Skating Polly takes a minimalist approach to songwriting, with the two largely self-taught musicians (Bighorse plays guitar, Mayo plays a guitar/bass hybrid called a basitar, and both girls play drums and piano) crafting super-catchy melodies mainly by "messing around with our instruments and figuring out how to make cool noises," according to Bighorse. But despite their stripped down aesthetic, their songs contain a rich emotionalism that's at turns brutally in-your-face, gut- wrenchingly tender, and irresistibly fun.
Along with earning the adoration of Cervenka (whom they befriended after attending one of the X singer's 2010 solo shows and playing their demos on a cell phone), Skating Polly has found fans and supporters in Rosanne Cash, Lori Barbero and Kat Bjelland (Babes in Toyland), Donita Sparks (L7), Sean Lennon, John Doe (X), KROQ DJ Rodney Bingenheimer, and actor Viggo Mortensen. They have also shared the stage with punk legends like Mike Watt and opened up for such indie heavy-hitters as Deerhoof, The Flaming Lips, Band of Horses and Kate Nash. The stepsisters typically optimize their travel time by making up songs on their ukulele.
Both Mayo and Bighorse are intent on ignoring what's fashionable and staying true to their passion for challenging music with long-lasting appeal. "The musicians we're most inspired by are the ones who keep on going and going, who devote their entire lives to coming up with new and different stuff," says Mayo. "A lot of times at our shows people will come up to us and tell us, 'Keep on doing what you're doing, don't ever stop' and we're just like, 'Yeah – we weren't planning on ever stopping.' "
Canker Blossom
Canker Blossom started in February 2012 as two high school strangers (Alicia and Jonah) began jamming with just drums and guitar. As the bond with the instruments grew, so did their friendship.
After jamming with a bunch of people, doing shows, and releasing their first album, "Gooner", with bassist Eric Kopins, Josiah joined as a bassist in November 2013 after Eric left for college.
The second album, "That's So Killer" was released June 20th, 2015. It shall forever be known as the greatest album ever until their next one comes out.

Ryohei Echizen is quickly becoming one of our favorite builders, because his guitars are uniformly spectacular in tone, build, and aesthetics. This is the Echizen R3 model in Ziricote back and sides and a stunning Bearclaw European Spruce top. As we have come to expect from Ryohei, the build quality is top notch, with well designed and executed motifs. Apart from the beautiful looks, this R3 has the tone to knock out almost any thing you put up against it. This guitar is truly inspiring.

Here is another presentation that Phil Schneider gave which exposes more information on secret underground facilities located within the United States. Click on this link to watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMMn2gjNa4I. Phil Schneider was found dead in his residence and had been strangled to death in his wheelchair shortly after giving these presentations and speeches. He was suffering from a severe form of cancer (that he claimed he got from the government).
The truth is that the Controllers have been building underground bases for sometime now. Such reasons for their bases have included experimental projects, on Animals as well as Human Beings. Now I realize that this might be very hard for many people to believe, but it is in fact the truth. Socrates and Plato both wrote about men living in subterranean chambers. Hell, where do you guys think our first Human race lived when they came from Atlantis and Lemuria? Look at the Egyptians and Incas and Mayans and Aztecs. They all hollowed out the Earth and lived underground. People have to start paying more attention. This country (America) has underground bases all over the place. Tons of them. And there are many more around the World. There is a famous underground base that the Controllers have created right in Pennsylvania. It's called Raven Rock, or Site R. Where is it you say? It's down south between Gettysburg and Hagerstown. It's unbelievable. They call it the Underground Pentagon, and it's stocked with all these super-computers, a full-scale communications network, storage tanks with over two million liters of water, plus a hospital, huge banks of sophisticated telephone equipment, and it's even linked by an underground tunnel to Camp David. If a nuclear war ever breaks out, this is where all the hot shots are going to be called to. Then of course we have NORAD in Colorado. Camp David also has an underground bunker, and the White House…get this…goes down at least 17 stories underground. Again, all this seems pretty hard to believe huh? Well, believe it folks, because it's true.
It doesn't end there though folks. How about Mt. Pony in Virginia that's used as an underground Treasury Department. I hear they have billions in storage there. Or how about the Greenbriar Hotel in West Virginia. This underground palace can hold almost 1,000 people. That's where the U.S. Congress will go in case of a disaster. The National Security Agency in Maryland has thousands of the most complex supercomputers known to man underneath their headquarters, plus scores of suveillance equipment, telephones, and a radio and television station. This is where the CIA will be calling their shots from. And oh, how could I forget about Manzano Air Force Base? This monstrosity is almost 300,000 square feet, with 95% of it underground. It's a pretty safe bet to say that there is alot of activity going on down there, too. In fact, I have heard that there are at least 90 different Government building projects going on underground right now, but it's not only them. Lockheed has underground facilities, and so do AT&T and Standard Oil. Plus, Northrop has an underground facility that's at least 40 levels deep, and McDonnel Douglas operates a place that has runways that lead to openings where planes can taxi into an underground hangar! Quite a joint indeed. They have diomand-shaped openings where huge pylons pop out of the ground, then go back down again. And then of course there's the Dulce underground base, with interesting doors. All of them have signs that are written in a strange language with strange symbols that can't be deciphered by anyone but the people who put them there.
It's like another whole World is being built underground that barely any one knows about. Some of the Oriental cities in Asia are building underground bases as well with a vengeance, while the Russians are spending billions on a huge complex in the Ural Mountains. So, you see, it's going on everywhere. But the big daddy of them all folks, The king of all the underground bases, is called Mount Weather and it's in Bluemont, Virginia. Mount Weather is the underground headquarters for FEMA. And it's quite spooky to say the least. Once you get to the entrance, you see this huge steel door that is so thick, 50 sticks of dynamite couldn't rip through it. And then, inside, all the offices are reinforced with concrete and steel, while there are security personnel everywhere….all of them with hand guns or assault rifles. It's amazing. There's a full scale power plant, a hospital, a sewage treatment facility, plus an underground pond, and these quarter-million gallon tanks that are filled with drinking water. Kinda like a real city folks. There are sidewalks, a cafeteria, paved streets, a diesel-powered generating plant, and closed circuit television cameras that monitor everything. Plus, everything is being run by electromagnetic energy that's built into the walls. None of the elevators even have cables or electrical controls…it's all electromagnetic. And do you know that when this place was being built in 1952, and finished in 1958, it cost over a billion dollars…and that was 1950′s dollars! Can you imagine how much it costs to maintain this joint, especially with close to 300 full-time federal employees working there, and the massive computer network they have to keep upgrading and maintaining? It's outrageous!
The United States Government has at least 100 other facilities…not as large, mind you…but they're in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and West Virginia. But Mount Weather is the king of the hill…the big daddy. In terms of the backup Government inside Mount Weather….no one knows exactly who these people are…except for themselves and those closest to them. No one else knows who belongs to their shadow Government. All I can tell you is that none of them are elected, and that their terms aren't limited by the four-year presidential election cycle. In other words folks, they're a Government unto themselves, completely unaccountable to anyone except the power Elite. Then of course we have the famous Area 51 in Nevada, which everyone already knows about. But to speak more about the Dulce underground base for a second, which is connected by the tunnel network to the Los Alamos National Laboratory. There are many organizations involved in the Ducle operation and they are organizations like the Rand Corporation, General Electric, AT&T, Hughes Aircraft, Northrop Corporation, Sandia Corporation, Stanford Research Institute, Walsh Construction, the Bechtel (Beck-tul) Corporation, the Colorado School of Mines and so on. There are at least seven levels underground at Dulce, probably more, and there have been accounts of workers there who have described horrible things.
Another underground base is under Boynton Canyon in Sedona, Arizona. The centre of the base is believed to be in the, appropriately named, Secret Canyon. Similar underground cities exist across the World and they are connected by tunnels with incredibly fast "tube-shuttles". Another place that has an underground base and which is fairly new is the Denver Airport. The Airport was built at an enormous cost on open land a long way from Denver and its full of Masonic symbols. The Capstone or dedication stone at the airport is marked with a classic compass symbol of the Freemasons and it stands in the part of the terminal called The Great Hall, another Freemasonic term. On the wall of the airport is a grotesque mural full of malevolent symbolism, including three caskets with dead females in them; a Jewish girl, a Native American and a black woman. Another girl is holding a Mayan tablet that tells of the coming destruction of our civilization. A huge character, described as a "green Darth Vader" by some, stands over a destroyed city with a sword in his hand and women are walking along a road holding dead babies. All the children of the World are depicted taking weapons from each country and handing them to a figure of a German boy with an iron fist and an anvil in his hand. The Denver Airport is apparently scheduled to be the headquarters of the Western sector of the United States under the Controller's fascist global state called the New World Order which is planned for the next few years. Atlanta is said to be the centre for the Eastern sector of the United States. Colorado is a major centre for the New World Order point blank.
The Controller's don't give a damn about you OR your family members. Why do you think they have the steel doors and armed guards? They sure as hell don't want us there. But we keep paying for all of their projects with our taxes in order for them to continue building these underground structures. And we also pay for them to maintain them. Yet, when disaster strikes, we won't be allowed anywhere near their bases. Just keep watching your paycheck and seeing how much they're taking out every week. Some of it is going to support a newly planned underground capital! Why doesn't anyone know who these people are who're running the show down there? It's absurd. Well, to clue people in on some of the people who are part of this whole betrayel process, there is a cabal of men known as the 54/12 Group that is an offshoot of the National Security Council. These men are at the core of the Invisible Government…the hidden power center. The 54/12 Group works hand in hand with another organization called the Jason Group. The Jason Group is a selective cadre of scientists who have capitalized on the dark side of technology. Whenever you are dealing with these shadow powers, you have to realize that their tentacles extend in every direction, and they operate on a variety of different levels. So, first you have the Ultimate Controllers, then the 54/12 Group, then the Jason Group. Then, acting as the operational arms of this octopus is the Bechtel Corporation. The Bechtel Corporation is a very shadowy international corporation that serves as an arm of the CIA. And what does Bechtel do? They're the largest construction and engineering company on the planet…almost like a form of shadow government in and of themselves.
Many of the groups I listed previously are all part of an operation called "The Doomsday Project". And what is the Doomsday Project? Well, during the Reagan presidency, there were about 20 different programs that were started….in secret, of course…that revolved around how our Government would perpetuate itself in times of nuclear war or global disaster. These programs have been going on for decades, but that's when the Controller's technology developed to a point where Project Rand could be acted upon instead of just imagined. There is a very telling quote that came out of Project Rand's symposium on Deep Underground Construction. It went like this: "Just as airplanes, ships and automobiles have given man mastery of the surface of the Earth, tunnel-boring machines will give him access to the subterranean World." The Controllers have a machine called a Subterrene that would blow most people's minds. It's nuclear-powered, and it snarls through the underground rocks by melting the stone into molten magma. It's amazing. Then, when the Subterrene burrows through a certain area, the rocks cool back down and the walls have a very fine, almost glass-like quality to them. But it goes beyond simple underground bases folks. There's a secret project called "Noah's Ark" where many of these complexes are connected by underground tunnels and where people can shuttle back and forth between them without ever being detected by anyone up here on the surface.
If someone is honest, they usually tend to believe what people tell them. And this has proven to be true especially with the Controllers. But folks, the people who believe that they control our World are a different breed. These folks have spent generation after generation living a lie. Their entire make-up and existence is nothing but a lie. In fact, they're the Children of all Lies! This Senior Ex-CIA Agent Exposed The Truth That Alien Beings Do Exist And That There Has Been A Coverup Going On Within The U.S. Government For Decades. Click On This Link For More Info: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tflMXkUVh2I
If bad "aliens" exist, than they would undoubtedly be serving Lucifer/Satan. If good "aliens" exist, than they would undoubtedly be serving God/Christ. If this scenario is true, than that would mean that we are in a three tier war at the moment. Starting in the Spiritual Realms, moving into the "alien" realm, and then trickling down into the Human realm. The opposing forces would be the same on all 3 levels. With the side which is for God being stronger and smarter and more advanced than the side which is for Satan. On the Human level this would be the case, on the "alien" level this would be the case, though it would show itself more through technology, with the "aliens" on God's side having the more advanced technology, MUCH for advanced, than the side that is working for the Devil. In the Spiritual realms it would be the same, with the Spiritual power being greater on the side of God than those of the forces of the Devil. If this scenario turns out to be true, than it means that we are about to witness a battle on three fronts. One, beginning on the Human Level, between good and evil Humans fighting against each other, another, taking place on the "alien" level, with good and evil "aliens" fighting against each other using their technology as their primary weapon, and yet another, which is the final and most important, which is the Spiritual battle taking place, with good Spiritual forces (Angels, etc.) doing battle against evil Spiritual forces (Angels, demons, etc.), and all three of these battles would literally be about to take place, based on the current data we have collected, and all three would be taking place at exactly the same time. With the end result being recorded in the Holy Bible.
If all of this is true than it could also mean that on the middle level, the "alien" level, that the good and bad aliens are playing chicken with each other right now, in regards to the Earth. It could mean that the bad "aliens" are holding the Earth ransom on a physical level, threatening to destroy it's surface if the good "aliens" invade, and it would mean also that the good aliens are waiting for something to happen that the bad "aliens" have no way of countering, in order to move in for their attack. This would be logical on the middle level at the moment. It would also mean that all of this AI buildup and underground bunker stuff is because the "bad" aliens need a force on the surface to combat the good "aliens" if they move underground after attempting to destroy the surface. With Human Beings being caught in the middle of all of this, as usual, of course. We deserve it though, because of our fall from grace. This appears to be the only plausible scenario if "aliens" do indeed exist. The robot technology would be for a 3 level purpose as well. To be used in a Spiritual way, by the bad "aliens", but also to be used to combat the good "aliens", as well as subdue the Human Beings. I say subdue because slavery is the end goal when it comes to us, while killing would be the end goal for dealing with the good "aliens" if they do turn out to be real. It would make sense, because the Spiritual ties into the mark of the beast, the weaponry on the robots is not for us, but for the "invaders" (they have much easier ways to kill us off than by spending billions of dollars to build AI robots), and ultimately, on our level, the AI and robotics will amount to enslaving us in the end. None of this changes the course of the timeline of the Holy Bible in any way. It merely just adds some missing pieces to the puzzle.
I had a dream once that I was shown a vision of what's underneath some of the pyramids on this Earth. Underneath them was a sophisticated underground structure with blonde haired Humanoid beings running around with phaser type guns. I say Humanoid because they looked Human but they were not. I knew they were not. The pyramid I entered into underground looked like it was located in ancient Egypt. The movie "Ransom" with Mel Gibson had a scene about the movie "The Time Machine" which is a story about Evil aliens who were forced to start living underground with Human Beings living on top. If we look at this in the bigger context of how the Illuminati loves to show us our future through video, then we can begin to understand what "Ransom" is really being orchestrated at the moment by these beings. If we choose to read between the lines. Is Humanity currently being held Ransom? Is the surface of the Earth being held hostage? Will they destroy it and move underground if other beings were to attempt to liberate us from them? These are all good questions to be asking ourselves right now. In the story of The Time Machine, these are all future events related to our Earth. In the story, at a certain point, our moon is destroyed in a war scenario as well. The same thing is portrayed in the movie Oblivion. Could this also be a future event to come?
I came across this pretty cool comprehensive list of supposed "alien" races that have inhabited or are currently still inhabiting our planet.
I think it's important to note that some of these races are claimed to be "Human". There would have to be a difference if that's true between the Humans that God created on this planet, and these "Humans" that claim to be from somewhere else.
As Christian as I am, and I am a Christian, I have chosen to never discount the possibility of alien races that God created or that Evil created or both elsewhere throughout the Universe.
Anyways, here is the list which is very well detailed I might add: http://www.thewatcherfiles.com/alien_races.html
Here are some actual supposed "Alien" and I guess what we would call "Spiritual Being" statistics for the USA that I also came across recently which I found quite interesting. Statistics meaning what amount of the population of the U.S. falls into what group, according to the following numbers:
In the USA it is slightly higher:
Alien Races:
Human ……………………………. 89.30 million
Sirians ……reptilian form………… 52.60 million
Sirians……human form……………. 6.00 million
Anunnaki….human/reptilian form…….. 6.00 million
Pleiadeans…many and various forms….. 5.87 million
Arcturians………………………… 2.00 million
Orions……………………………. 27.1 million
Pre-Pleiadeans (Lyrans etc)…………. 21.0 million
Saurians………………………….. 9.5 million
Spicans…………………………… 600,000
Antarians…………………………. 245,000
Other reptilian species…………….. 300,000
Celestial/Spiritual/Demonic//Artificial Beings:
Gargoyles & other lower forms of alien life 6 to 700,000
Orbs……………………………… 75,000
Artificial intelligences……………. 7.376 million
Clones,Orion robots,
bio-mechanical Beings…………. 7.5 million
Angelic Beings/sprites/water
and tree spirits ……………. 4.685 million
Fairies, elves, elementals………….. 22.8 million
Wraiths/MIBs………………………. 1.0 million
Intergalactic criminals…………….. 5,000
Assorted other alien species 35.604 million
Politicians (reptilian)
• Federal government 75 percent
• State governments 63 percent
• Local politicians 80 percent
Police and other Law Enforcement
• Reptilian 68 percent
• Saurians associated with the reptilian agenda 21 percent
• Others associated with reptilian agenda 6 percent
• Leadership (Reptilian) 86 percent
• Body of military " 55 percent
"One must always remember that, as portrayed realistically in the miniseries 'V', not all reptilians or any species for that matter, is all 'bad'. I have worked with many reptilians, saurians etc who are here to help planet Earth in its time of need. Predominantly, however, those in control of this planet are associated with the negative agenda stemming from the Orion star system."

text: Whilst my car is off the road (thanks to Siena!) I thought i'd try and sort out some other minor issues that the car has. One of which is that, for the past few thousand miles I have had a creak from the base of the steering column. At least that is where it seems to be coming from. The car drives great and feels tight, apart from the creak.. Rewind back 12 months and Siena (!) took the engine out with the subframe to repair an oil leak / turbo issue and I can only presume something has not been tightened properly and has worked loose - but what? I've been under the car and retightened the subframe bolts (no real movement but i tightened them just the same) and cant feel any play anywhere, but there was definately a slight creak under braking and definately at very slow speeds, usually turning the steering wheel. I realise that you cannot see the car, but what else can i check, what could have been missed and what can I tighten!? Also, I seem to have a fair bit of play in the drivetrain, its always been there (car only has 82k on the clock), but how much is usual? When I get the dash cluster sorted and can get the car mobile again I may have to take it to someone, but the local dealers here in Sussex are rubbish - anyone recommend a good, TRUSTWORTHY(!!) contact that I coud take it to if I cant fix the issue? The only upside to not having my beloved S4 on the road for the past month is that I have nearly forgotten where the local filling stations are..

Movie: Gabriel (2007)
Overall Raiting: 2.5 / 5
General Impression: I saw the trailer and I was intrigued because it had that sort of "The Crow" feeling to it. The star, Andy Whitfield (RIP), who was also the star of "Spartacus", did well in his role, but I though the story and the action left a lot to be desired. It was a budget supernatural and action movie and it showed. I was quite disappointed with the movie and would definitely NOT recommend this movie.

Being healed from colorectal cancer, you have to follow these specific measures step by step to make yourself safe from this killing disease.
Screening Measures
Undergo a screening test past the age of 50 years. If 60% of people aged 50 to 74 years passed such a test every 2 years, it is estimated that the number of deaths from colorectal cancer could be reduced from 15% to 18% 5.
It is in this context that the Ministry of Health and Social Services of Quebec is currently working on the implementation of a screening program that will address all people of 50-74 years. This program will meet the criteria that we describe below.
Persons concerned: men and women aged over 50 years.
Blood research fecal occult test (FOBT).
-One or more of the following techniques can be used to detect traces of blood in the stool, invisible to the naked eye.
– Guaiac test: done at home, it requires the stool samples taken, spread on a small cardboard coated guaiac, a plant substance. The carton is then delivered to the doctor or sent to the laboratory for analysis by a technician.
– Immunochemical test (FIT): saddle samples are analyzed differently. This new test is more accurate since it only detects the blood from the colon or rectum (rather than any part of the digestive tract, as does the guaiac). In addition, it has the advantage of requiring no restrictions in taking food and medicine in the days preceding the test.
-Frequency: every year or 2 years.
When this test is positive, further medical examinations are offered. The flexible sigmoidoscopy allows the doctor to see the lining of the rectum and sigmoid colon (see diagram).
Colonoscopy permits examination of the rectum and all sections of the colon. It is practiced in analgesic medication.
These two tests can not only view the wall of the rectum and colon, but also to remove polyps that are there as well and prevent the emergence of any cancers. These examinations are not only preventive, curative they are made.
For people at risk. If family history of colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel disease, for example, it may be advisable to spend a sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy from the age of 40 years. Discuss it with his doctor.
Basic preventive measures
-No smoking. For a variety of means that facilitate the decision, visit our Smoking sheet.
-Staying active physically. Physical activity (moderate and severe) would reduce the risk up to 50% 17.
-Achieve or maintain a healthy weight. To find out your body mass index, BMI made our test.
-Limit alcohol consumption. The Canadian Cancer Society advises women to limit their alcohol consumption to less than 1 drink per day and men less than 2 drinks per day6.
-Eating enough fruits and vegetables and whole grains appear to help prevent colorectal cancer. These foods contain vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants that help prevent colorectal cancer. Bring variety to enjoy the widest range of beneficial substances they contain (calcium, magnesium, vitamin B9, etc.).
A good intake of fruits and vegetables also reduces the risk of several other cancers.
– Special Diet: cancer, the recommendations of the dietitian Hélène Baribeau;
– The reflexes anticancer daily, a booklet by Dr. David Servan-Schreiber.
-Limit consumption of red meat, charcuterie (salami, sausages, smoked ham, etc.) and grilled. Those who eat red meat 7 times a week are at risk 85% higher than those who eat 3 times a semaine17.
Other measures to prevent the onset of disease
Vitamin D. In light of the results of various studies, the Canadian Cancer Society recommends that Canadians since 2007, taking a supplement of 25 mcg (1000 IU) per day of vitamin D in autumn and hiver7. The organization suggests that people with a higher risk of vitamin D deficiency – including the elderly, people whose skin pigmentation is dark and people rarely exposed to the sun – to do the same during the whole year. Note that the recommended dosages can vary according to age and particular conditions.
Aspirin. Taking one tablet daily aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) may confer some protection. Epidemiological data show that people often taking aspirin are less affected by colorectal2,8 cancer. Some cons-indications apply, because aspirin increases the risk of bleeding.
Anti-inflammatory drugs. Besides aspirin, other anti-inflammatory drugs may be protective against intestinal polyps and colorectal cancer, such as ibuprofen and naproxen

#12 Michael Jackson - Black Snub-Nosed Monkey
Michael Jackson must have drawn inspiration for his new face from the Black snub-nosed monkey. Everything about this endangered primate screams, "I look like Michael Jackson." They both have pink lips, a random hair out of place and terrible nose issues. Black snub-nosed monkeys hide their noses when it rains, as to not get water in them. Jackson used to hide his nose under bandages to prevent it from falling off.

Shit, long week.
So I've decided I'm taking a random road trip to Ohio at the end of this month. If anyone happens to read this between now and then, give me some ideas for things to do within like a 2 hour radius from Dayton (where I'm staying). I know a lot of this community is in Ohio, I'm totally down for a meetup for a drink somewhere. Or if somebody is building a secret space ship in their basement, I want to be a part of this secret. I won't tell, I promise.
In case some crazy person reads this and tries to hunt me DayZ style when I get up there, I will be the only blindingly white guy riding around Dayton with my windows down blasting Girl Talk mash-ups out of my shitty sound system. Come at me!
SPEAKING OF! - Girl Talk mashes may be the best thing to listen to EVER if you have a boring, monotonous job.
Alright, time to remove myself from the computer and make some of this food everyone says is so important.
Until next time!

I finished another UFO!
My qiviut scarf, the Chevron and Berry Scarf from Folkknits.
I made one just like this for my husband and started this one last year for myself. Got about 2/3rds done and just stopped. Always nice to get something finished.
And that means I can start something else! My sis & her husband gave me some camel hair yarn at Thanksgiving. I've been trying to think of something special to make with it. There's 150-200 yards of 2-ply handspun. Thinking about maybe doing the fingerless mitts - Fetching, or something like it. Or maybe a hat.
And for my birthday, my DH gave me FIVE skeins of Socks that Rock! That's light-weight Spinel in the picture (it's not that blue - more greeny/blue). I'm almost finished with the wild zebra socks, so can start on this soon, too.
I'm not forgetting about the other UFOs. I can only start a new project if I finish an old one. (we'll see how long this resolve lasts)

A group of us are looking to rent a house next Feb. however, none of us have been to Costa Rica before & don't know where to stay. We'd like to be near the beach (if not on) but also within driving distance to excursions and very short driving distance to local bars/restaurants/nightlife. Any suggestions on what part of Costa Rica to stay? We can fly into San Jose or Liberia. I'm looking @ Jaco in Puntaareans, Puerto Viego in Limon and Tamarindo in Guanacaste. Would these locations be good for what we're looking for?
Depending on the makeup of your group would weigh greatly on considering Jaco. The beach is far from being one of the best in Costa Rica and the nightlife you would encounter in Jaco is geared more towards men and "ladies of the evening" I'm partial to the beaches in Guanacaste but thats not to say other areas don't have great beaches. Tamarindo will have some night life and nice beaches. Limon is also a good choice. When you are talking nightlife and shopping it cuts back on the beaches to stay. There are many small communities up and down the Guanacaste coast but the nightlife dies out fairly early or there's not much shopping. There's alway a trade off at the really good beaches.
For laid back relaxation, head to Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean coast. The beaches are better than the Pacific side and the water is much nicer. The people came originally from Jamaica, so you get the Rasta style and Caribbean English. Some jungle excursions, but not the theme-park zipline activities of the Pacific coast. The east coast is remote, a good 4-5 hour drive from San Jose. This isolation helps preserve the place, it's not overrun with all-inclusive resorts full of destination wedding parties. The places to stay are small and rustic, generally no air conditioning (we were quite comfortable in the evening breezes, surprisingly mosquito-free close to the water).
Surfing is best on the Pacific side. For drunken partying with strippers and whores, go to Jaco. Tamarindo on the Nicoya peninsula is isolated and rural. Down the coast south of Jaco to Quepos and the Manuel Antonio park is very nice. Stay away from Puntarenas, it's a crappy, polluted, uncomfortable city.
Read and research. Good luck!
Thank you. We range from early 40's to mid 50's. We're not looking for a "party" spot per se. More of a bar/lounge hang out. If we'd like to go out one night & have dinner & drinks we'd like to be close to somewhere we can. Whether is be w/ the locals or other tourists. The beach isn't a huge plus; we'd just like to be near if we want to lay out. I'm sure we'll do a lot of that at our rental. Also, we plan on donig a lot of sighseeing/excursions. I guess we want to be centrally located to beach/jungle/town/bars/restaurants. :) Thank you!
BTW, probably won't do the Caribbean coast as we visit Jamaica quite often and aren't looking for that atmosphere. :)
Any thoughts on Playa de Coco? So far, sounds like Quepos & Tamarindo are more our style. I'm guessing anything in the Guanacaste area. I've been doing a lot of research & reading reviews & such but it's always best to get it straight from the horse's mouth. I don't trust all reviews. Could be an employee writing it. LOL
Playa del Coco is a long way and really out there. I would not recommend Quepos. One of the dirtier towns in Costa Rica. I've driven through about 8 times over the years to get to Manuel Antonio and I can't think of one reason why I would want to stay there. If you want that are, look into what is available close to Manuel Antonio. Although if you want to access a beach, M.A. Is beautiful but it is quite a walk to get there from the entrance and crowded.
Are you really set on staying at one location? For excursion you may want to split time between a mountain community and a beach community. You can really get a true sense of the country that way. If this is possible, look into La Fortuna and Arenal volcano. Great excursion from here to see the volcano, horseback riding and my favorite, hot springs heated by the volcano,
Not sure of your length of stay but 3-4 days in the mountains then and equal amount of time at a beach community is perfect. I tend to stay in Samara on the Guanacaste coast. Some nice local bars that have picked up recently however A quieter town but plenty of excursions and really good restaurants.
But if this is not possible, Tamarindo might be your place.

Beth Fremont and Jennifer Scribner-Snyder, coworkers at The Courier, know the newspaper monitors their office e-mail. But they still spend all day sending each other messages, gossiping about their coworkers, and baring their personal lives like an open book. Jennifer tells Beth everything she can't seem to tell her husband about her anxieties over starting a family. And Beth tells Jennifer everything, period.
Meanwhile, Lincoln O'Neill still can't believe that it's his job to monitor other people's e-mail. When he applied to be an Internet security officer, he pictured himself protecting the newspaper from dangerous hackers - not sending out memos every time somebody in Accounting forwarded an off-color joke to the person in the next cubicle. Lincoln is supposed to turn people in for misusing company e-mail, but he can't quite bring himself to crack down on Beth and Jennifer. He can't help being entertained - and captivated - by their stories. But by the time Lincoln realizes he's falling for Beth, it's way too late for him to ever introduce himself. What would he say to her? "Hi, I'm the guy who reads your e-mail, and also, I love you?"
With snapping dialogue and irresistible charm, Rainbow Rowell transforms an ordinary IT guy into a lovable and endearing romantic hero and proves that falling in love never happens the way you plan it. Written with whip-smart precision and charm, Attachments is a fresh and energetic debut that marks the arrival of an exciting new voice in fiction.
