Hayao Miyazaki Talks Hand-Drawn Animation at Venice
by Alex Billington
September 1, 2008
I will forever be a fan of Hayao Miyazaki, the Japanese filmmaker responsible for many of the greatest anime movies of all-time. He just finished premiering his latest film, Ponyo on the Cliff, at the 65th Venice Film Festival and some early reviews have hit as well as some great quotes from Miyazaki himself. To me, Miyazaki is like Shigeru Miyamoto from Nintendo, a cinematic genius who has changed the world with his animation. I can't help but always feature stories about Miyazaki and today we've got another good one. Reuters reported back from the press conference with Miyazaki and his quotes on animation are wonderful to see, especially considering it's a rare treat to hear Miyazaki talk to press anyway.
"I think animation is something that needs the pencil, needs man's drawing hand, and that is why I decided to do this work in this way," Miyazaki told press at Venice. "Currently computer graphics are of course used a great deal and, as I've said before, this use can at times be excessive." Ponyo on the Cliff is Miyazaki's eight feature film and even at 67 years old, he's still hand animating films himself. "I will continue to use my pencil as long as I can," he told them. We wrote about an interview previously with Toshio Suzuki (read that here), where he mentioned that Miyazaki drew the scenes with water and waves himself because no one else could make it look exactly how he wanted. A true testament to his talent.
As for the film itself, it's getting some early positive buzz, as was expected. The Japan Times writes: "No one but Miyazaki could have created anything like these moments, with anything like his mastery. If Ponyo is the start of his artistic second childhood, I say welcome to the sandbox." LoveHKFilm.com also praises the film with an incredibly glowing review. "Ponyo on the Cliff is another Miyazaki classic that is a marvelous feast for the eyes. Like a modern day fairytale, the film tells a timeless story of friendship and love that while surely be cherished for years to come." I'm anxiously awaiting my own opportunity to catch the film. Despite its child-like story and playful theme, it still seems like it contains that same magic that Miyazaki has brought to all of his films.
As everyone probably knows, I'm a Pixar fanboy at heart as well. And while in America we've got Pixar as our animation house that continues to amaze us every year, Miyazaki continues to dazzle in Japan with every new film that Studio Ghibli produces. It's amazing to see that each one of these animation houses couldn't be more different from one another - one using advanced computer technology, the other relying on age-old hand animation techniques. It just goes to show that as long as the passion and the heart is there, the production will succeed, no matter what the medium or how it was created. Although Miyazaki certainly seems to think otherwise, considering he will always hand animate his films.

Useful Information for Deciding which Toyota Engine to use for a Gas to Diesel Swap
Toyota Diesel Engines offer plenty of options for your Land Cruiser, here is information as compiled from the Internet.
It is unfortunate that Toyota North America never offered a diesel Land Cruiser in the US Market. As a result of this, Toyota diesel conversions are very popular. Most Toyota diesels have to be sourced from overseas for conversion purposes. The most common Toyota diesel engines that are used in conversions are the 6 cylinder variants offered from 1986-current which are the 12HT, 1HZ, 1HDT, 1HD-FT, and the computer controlled 1HD-FTE.
A quick rundown of the various engines that are installed is as follows:
3B: 4 cylinder naturally aspirated; available in the Canadian market in BJ42, BJ60, and BJ70 as well as other markets. This engine takes very well to an aftermarket turbo.
13BT: turbo'd version of the 3B.
1PZ: 5 cylinder, naturally aspirated (very similar to the 1HZ; except missing one cylinder). Very limited production run from 1990-1995
2H: 6 cylinder, naturally aspirated.; available in the Canadian market HJ60 as well as other markets. Does not turbo well; low boost only.
12HT: turbo'd version of the 2H. Excellent engine and quite powerful. Very limited production run 1985-1989
1HZ: 6 cylinder, naturally aspirated. Excellent engine and is seen as Toyota's 3rd world workhorse engine. Production run: 1990-current This engine takes very well to an aftermarket turbo.
1HDT: turbo'd version of the 1HZ. Excellent engine for a 80 series conversion. Available from 1990-1995
1HD-FT: 24 valve version of the 1HDT. Excellent engine for a 80 series conversion. Available from 1995-1997
1HD-FTE: computer controlled version Toyota's 6 cylinder diesel. Started in 1998.
1VD-FTE: Toyota's first common-rail V8 diesel also debuts a new twin-turbo system that delivers strong power while reducing fuel consumption as well as emissions.
Toyota Diesel Positives:
Made by Toyota
Typically quieter with less vibration than most other diesels of the era
Factory looking installation
Toyota Diesel Negatives:
Not readily available in used or rebuilt form
Parts and sometimes service hard to locate
Later versions are more costly to install
Fewer transmission options

"Thank you for linking up with us at http://everythingfj60.com , We appreciate it!"
lookin for a toyota land cruiser engines
"They can be sourced direct from low mile vehicles that came from Japan."
Transformed my 83, 2f 60 series, to run a 1hdfte. It is an awesome vehicle to drive now. Plenty of power, reliability, economy. New engine/gear box mounts. Replaced complete wiring with 79 series, fitted matching instrument cluster. All fitted realitively easy! My favourite toyota Diesel engine. Would love to try a 1vd later on? Maybe even the tt model
"You my friend understand the parts needed to do the job right, that is an amazing transformation you made. Congratulations!
(And send us some pics!!!)"
Q: Hi. I own an 80 series landcruiser with a 24 valve 4.2 lt diesel engine. I am looking to get heaps more low down torque for off roading and mud work. Live in Northern Zambia, Central Africa. What advise and services can you offer?
A: Thanks Tony for your inquiry! We will email you directly concerning programming and aftermarket parts solutions.
I have a 2001 Landcruiser 100 series and want to convert it to diesel. I live in US so it is a challenge. Any ideas on what engine i should use also prices as well.
One more question. In US only gas landcruisers so if I do the conversion how will i be able to register it since diesel is not even an option for smog checks
"Yes, doing a modern diesel swap can be both costly and take a lot of time/patience. Some areas may present emissions or registration challenges, so it is important to do your due diligence and research before moving ahead. Sometimes it is easier and less costly to sacrifice a the year model and get an older Diesel Land Cruiser that is already complete from the factory and licensed in the USA."
I urgently need the deisel 1Hz engine .
when can i get it
" We can point you in the right direction, email us"
I have purchased a 1983 BJ60 from Canada. I am looking to purchase an upgraded engine…preferably a turbo diesel. Any information and possible places to purchase would be awesome! Thanks so much…Cheers Julie
Hi im after a toyota land crusier diesel 1hz 75 engine in good condition at a reasonable cost im in ñsw australia any ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks
So I have a BJ60 wagon with the original 3B motor. It needs MORE power for uphill and 4 wd. What type of aftermarket Turbo would you recommend? Or would it be better to just upgrade the motor with a modern diesel engine?

Curious City has found book trailers to be an incredible tool for telling a book's story to online communities. With a well written script, professional narration, a series of carefully chosen images, and the pizazz (and patience) of production, a book trailer can speak more strongly than a book review.
View some of our latest book trailers below. Additionally, read our blog posts about the creation of our Book Trailers.
In which we visit a biker gang rally and talk kidlit…
To support the Lisa Jahn-Clough's searing young adult novel, Nothing But Blue we did a photo shoot symbolizing the character's epic walk through the Northeast to the Maine shore and wove it with Blue's voice and the voices in her head.
To support the picture book Bow-Wow Wiggle-Waggle by Mary Newell DePalma, we chose to not to tell what the book was about, but to show how readers would interact with the quite silly and engaging pages.
For the book The Sandal Artist by Kathleen T. Pelley and illustrated by Lois Rosio Sprague we selected a supporting character in the book to stand in as an Italian storyteller…
For Mercy: The Last New England Vampire we selected a young actress to play Hayley and her ancester Mercy that comes for her across the centuries…
The project for the book Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to NOT Reading by Tommy Greenwald (Roaring Brook Press) is more of a PSA than book trailer. (In fact, Tommy already produced a hilarious trailer for the book here.) Knowing that Tommy's audiobook was being produced by the fab folks at Brilliance Audio using the oh-so talented narrator MacLeod Andrews to voice the character, I pitched Brilliance a co-produced YouTube that promo'ed the book, the audio, and served as a summer promotion for libraries. Tommy and I wrote the script, I story boarded it with the illustrations from the book by J.P. Coovert, and Brilliance produced the sound. This was the satisfying result…
It was a joy to capture the playfulness and humor of Kathleen T. Pelley's, Raj the Bookstore Tiger (Charlesbridge). The script, a salute to the power of words and books and those that purvey them, came in on cat feet. Katherine Davis voiced the script with an unexpected (and welcomed) puckishness and Bill Dufris scrubbed, polished, and set music to Katherine's narration. Charlesbridge kindly delivered Paige Keiser's illustrations which laid down as sweetly as cupcakes on a peckish afternoon. A fine team effort for a fine picture book.
To recreate the feel of the picture book She Loved Baseball: The Effa Manley Story, we brought in actor and narrator, Dion Graham. We knew Dion's work from his Odyssey honored narration of the Negro Leagues book, We Are the Ship. Our sound producer, William Dufris wove jazz through Dion's narration and hit ques in the script with baseball sound effects. Harpercollins delivered the art originals giving the trailer the full richness of Don Tate's bold illustrations.
For Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen's picture book Quackenstein Hatches a Family elements of the book. We prepared the script and brought in the hilarious voice actor and audio producer, William Dufris to create the radio drama element. We then returned to a slightly serious tone with a tribute to zoos and zookeepers for protecting endangered animals by making all sorts of 'mismatched' families.
For Kathleen T. Pelley's picture book, Magnus Maximus, A Marvelous Measurer we wanted to capture the Victorian playfulness of the book (cue the background music) while delivering one particular serious message from the book –that we may over-quantify our lives and those of our children.
For Erin Dionne's novel, The Total Tragedy of a Girl Named Hamlet, we partnered with the incredible family that runs Shire Attire to portray the characters in the story.
For Claudette Colvin: Twice Towards Justice by Phillip Hoose we wanted to capture the voice of living history, Claudette Colvin herself:

Accountability and Flexibility in Public Schools: Evidence from Boston's Charters And Pilots
We use student assignment lotteries to estimate the effect of charter school attendance on student achievement in Boston. We also evaluate a related alternative, Boston's pilot schools. Pilot schools have some of the independence of charter schools but are in the Boston Public School district and are covered by some collective bargaining provisions. Lottery estimates show large and significant score gains for charter students in middle and high school. In contrast, lottery estimates for pilot school students are mostly small and insignificant, with some significant negative effects. Charter schools with binding assignment lotteries appear to generate larger gains than other charters. Copyright 2011, Oxford University Press.

Due to sharp discrepancies in the relative response of the horizontal and vertical coil configurations of the Geonics Limited EM-38 electromagnetic induction soil conductivity meter for the top 15 cm of soil, the accuracy of measurement of bulk electrical conductivity for soil having a high surface electrical conductivity relative to deeper depths (i.e., an inverted electrical conductivity profile) has been unreliable. Two new approaches have been developed to compensate for these discrepancies, either through compensations in the vertical coil configuration response curve or the reestablishment of EM0,H adjustment curves utilizing data solely from inverted conductivity profiles. Both approaches yield more consistently reliable calculated bulk soil electrical conductivities when compared to measured electrical conductivities using the four-electrode probe. The latter approach, however, appears to be more accurate.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Inspired by an exhibit at the National Museum of the American Indian in lower Manhattan, the Adam fall '11 collection was filled with texture, details and warm colors. Nearly every one of the 34 looks had a wool foundation, many of which were contrasted by a softer fabric like silk, lace, or crepe. Models wore their hair in a super chic low, teased ponytail with minimal make-up, making the focus really be about the clothing. We were particularly drawn to a luxurious fur coat worn effortlessly over high waist, belted trousers and a denim colored shirt- it really underscored the idea that luxury pieces can (and should!) be a part of your every day wear. Another piece that stole our hearts was a feathered mini skirt with warm rust and violet tones. Like the fur coat, the skirt was paired with pieces so "normal" (a chunky sweater and chunky knit winter hat), and the lesson of mixing luxe and casual wear came quickly back to mind. We can't wait to start incorporating this idea into our own every day wear!

IT TOOK a leisurely 70 years after King Gillette invented the safety razor for someone to come up with the idea that twin blades might beâ€"or, at least sellâ€"better. Since then, the pace of change has accelerated, as blade after blade has been added to razors in an attempt to tech-up the "shaving experienceâ€.
For the most cynical shavers, this evolution is mere marketing. Twin blades seemed plausible. Three were a bit unlikely. Four, ridiculous. And five seems beyond the pale. Few people, though, seem willing to bet that Gillette's five-bladed Fusion is the end of the road for razor-blade escalation. More blades may seem impossible for the momentâ€"though strictly speaking the Fusion has six, because it has a single blade on its flip-side for tricky areasâ€"but anyone of a gambling persuasion might want to examine the relationship between how many blades a razor has, and the date each new design was introduced.

Slight concern...
Hi! My name is Jen...I have lurked here often since before my daughter Leila was born and even have posted a couple of times. I have had two previous births. My birth daughter I had an epidural and an induction due to PIH. I was 17 at the time and it honestly was all for the best at the time. My daughter Leila was also an induction due to gestational diabetes...they were estimating her size as between 9 and 10 pounds and the diabetes was not controlled that well even with 4 times a day shots of insulin and diet control. I delivered all 9 pounds 9 ounces of her without any pain meds at all and was and still am very proud of that fact.:D
Anyway my concern is with the delivery this time. I honestly had an easy easy easy labor and delivery with Leila. Inspite of no pain meds at all I never felt out of control or really in any pain that I couldn't handle until transition. Even then I still felt great! I knew my body could do it and just allowed it to do its work. I read a lot and was very prepared but really felt like things just flowed to a rhythym I cannot explain. I am just so worried that things won't go this way with the delivery of my son in about 8 weeks. I don't feel as prepared as I did with Leila, I don't feel as capable, or that things will go in any way similar. I of course know that my body can and will do this and the fact that I am delivering in a freestanding birth center will help me along in my NCB goal. However I just want and am hoping for the nice and easy delivery I had with Leila.
Any suggestions, words of wisdom, stories of similar situations and success with it, anything at all would be appreciated.:) I just feel so unprepared for something that is literally right around the corner...
Re: Slight concern...
well welcome out of lurkdom! lol
I have no adivce as Nichole was an induced (though she was REALLY over due) but I had no interest in an unmedicated birth. So I had the epidural. I did not want pain drugs though as they make me loopy. Epi, oh I signed up for that long before labor lol.
But you are right you can do this.. I am not sure how prepared one can be even after doing if once or twice or how ever many times. We just don't know what will happen and how we feel kinda thing.
Re: Slight concern...
Well if you've done it before you've got experience on your side!! What could be better than that?
My suggestions are: read Ina May's guide to Childbirth by Ina May Gaskin. Watch the Business of Being Born. Are you keeping fit? Cardio is highly suggested to get you prepared for labor. The Bradley Method book is awesome and there is a great chapter for your birth partner.
Re: Slight concern...
It sounds like you are well prepared, you just need to prepare yourself for it mentally. I think I was scared of labor, even after it started, because I just had a hard time mentally preparing myself for it. Maybe it was the unkown that scared me, but I just went with the flow and it all worked out. I'm sure you will be fine, especially since you have the opportunity to go to a freestanding birth center. Midwives at those tend to be very willing to work with you and help you through labor.
Re: Slight concern...
I assume the birth center will have a tub for you to labor in. Being in the warm water is extremely effective pain management.
Re: Slight concern...
^^^There is a tub and I plan to use it if I can! I am such a water person that it really makes sense to labor in the water.
I really just don't feel like the mentality is there for me like it was with Leila. I was not scared of labor with her at all. I was really terrified I wasn't going to be able to breastfeed though lol. Nearly 18 months later and still going strong there! I imagine I should really work on just focusing on the positives and getting the mental images of I can do it up.
Re: Slight concern...
For me reading other women's birth stories helps me get prepared. Journey Into Motherhood is a good book, all natural birth stories. Or just go up and read the NCB stories here in the forum. That works great for me to get me back into the mentality of NCB.
Re: Slight concern...
try our mantra - "TRUST BIRTH"
Re: Slight concern...
you can do it, Jen ;)
and if it makes you feel better, I had way more doubts and what-ifs with Evan than I ever had with Irelyn and I still had an amazing NCB.

610. Bernardino De Mendoza to the King.
The Queen received an express post on the 2nd, from the Magistrates of Nuremburg, and from her agent in that place, advising her to make ready, as they were sure that your Majesty's fleet was being armed for the purpose of coming to this country. She, at once, sent to ask them to tell her by what means they had learned this, and on the same day, after nine at night, she sent to me by the earl of Sussex to say that, although there might be no matters which obliged her to see me, yet she would be glad to do so. I had been purposely holding off from her for some time, without requesting audience, because I was told she wished to see me, and I thought that, as she was so close with the French, it would be best to make her jealous by raising the idea that it did not concern us to take any notice of the marriage, of which attitude of ours she had, and still has, very great mistrust. I went to see her the next day, being informed beforehand of the letter she had received, which, as I understood, was the reason she summoned me, and she confirmed this by her conversation. She began with many caresses and endearments, and complaints that she had not seen me for so long, after which all her talk was directed towards discovering from me particulars of the fleet. She repeated the various news and discourses she heard about it, trying to find out whether I knew anything, to all of which I replied as commanded, and, so far as I could judge, she was more distrustful about it at the end of the interview than she was before. I am told that the advices received from Italy by certain Genoese residents here confirmed the news from Nuremburg, and the Queen has therefore ordered the Governors of Provinces and the Marches to be at their posts in four days, and to exercise much vigilance to prevent disturbance. Although the excuse for this step is the news about the fleet, many people believe that it is caused by fears about the marriage.
I had been assured that she sent a verbal message by Simier to Alençon, to say that, although the conditions might be looked upon in France as a little hard, he was not to be distressed about that, as she would remedy it. I suspect this was for the purpose of undermining what she heard the opposing councillors had said, to the effect that they should be very much surprised if the French accepted the conditions which they had sent. I got her to converse upon the subject, and she referred to it so tenderly as to make it clear how ardently she desired it.
The Portuguese ambassador has arrived here, and saw the Queen on the 29th. All the talk was of how glad she was to learn that your Majesty had agreed with his King, (fn. 1) since there were no preparations for defence in Portugal, and if your Majesty should wish to take the country by force they could not help it. This is the means which, since Wotton's return, she and her Council have adopted, as they have failed in the other suggestions they made to the king of Portugal to listen to the desires of England and France. They think that by this means they can the better move the Portuguese themselves, saying that they do not hinder only because they are not able. The ambassador replied that the arrangement was founded on justice, and he did not believe, therefore, that your Majesty, being so Christian a Prince, would need to appeal to arms.
News has arrived here that Don Antonio had fled from Portugal, and as soon as the Queen heard it she publicly said that she would be glad to receive him in her country to entertain him and give him what help she could, which was listened to by the fickle Portuguese who were here, and who have written it to Portugal.
Morton insisted in the Scotch Parliament that they should confirm the decrees published against the House of Hamilton, and as soon as the Queen knew this, she sent a person to dissuade the King from it, as she learned that it would cause disturbances in the country and that the French might aid the Hamiltons. The business was therefore settled in the following way : the property of the Hamiltons is to be confiscated until they have cleared themselves of the murders laid to their charge, without the matters being made a crime of high treason. By this means, the Queen and Morton get their way, as they keep the Hamiltons oppressed, and yet with hopes of recovering their estates without taking up arms or being driven to desperation. The queen of Scotland has been given more liberty than she had recently. I have not been able to learn whether this is by order of this Queen or at the pleasure of the earl of Shrewsbury, although some consider it very strange at the present juncture.—London, 27th December 1579.

611. Bernardino De Mendoza to the King.
I handed your Majesty's letter of 11th April, about the seizures, to the Queen on the 10th of May, and she, in conformity therewith and in fulfilment of the treaty of Bristol, ordered a commission to be issued, that your Majesty's subjects might claim their property, which by fraud and deceit had been concealed. The issue of this commission was delayed from day to day for two months, until the vacations, so that nothing could be done until the middle of October. I lodged a request with the commissioners that they should hear my claims, which they did, acknowledging your Majesty as Plaintiff, and I then demanded that the offenders should be brought up. They summoned them and gave them copies of my charges, which, in due course, were replied to, and the case proceeded with. When the decision was to be given, the commissioners informed my lawyers that they were not to present any more documents, since the property could not be claimed by your Majesty but only by the owners. I therefore addressed the Council, saying I was astonished, after they had seen your Majesty's letter, and the Queen had issued the commission and the commissioners had heard my claim, by virtue of such appointment, that when sentence had to be delivered this answer should be given. I desired to know if the agreement of Bristol was valid or not. They replied in general that they knew nothing of the commission, nor when it was issued, but they would make inquiries and give a reply. They did so a month afterwards, and, after recapitulating many of the pros and cons of the case, they said that the goods could not be demanded in your Majesty's name. To this I replied that your Majesty had made the agreement with the Queen ; property on both sides having been seized from your respective subjects, and no particular owner was mentioned. It was therefore clear that, if any fraud or deceit had been practised, it was only to the prejudice of the parties to the agreement. Even if this were not so, they well knew that "Gentiam princeps maritus, Rex publievœ Pater subditorum suorum," and also, "Quod interes principiis ne subditi perdam bona sua," and your Majesty had ordered me to deal with this business in answer to the complaints of your subjects, out of consideration for them, to prevent their having to come here, losing their time and money, to claim their property which had been concealed. I said that this would have happened was proved from the fact that they had delayed the matter with me for eight months, and I should like to know how a private person would have got on, since they were so tardy even with me, a minister. I said the owners, moreover, could not claim their goods specifically, as they had all been bulked here, the packages undone, and the marks lost. They replied that this was all very well, but they had no security that the owners themselves would not come and claim the property delivered to me, and it was necessary that I should have special power in addition to your Majesty's letter. Your Majesty will pray send me instructions. (fn. 2)
What I understand is that they are seeking to delay as much as they can, because of the impossibility of bringing to book those who are interested, namely, the principal councillors. Leicester and Hatton started the matter and assured me that justice should be done, but as they are now in disgrace, especially Leicester, the rest of them are terribly hard upon them. They think, moreover, that I might unite all the claims which have been ascertained during the delay and might continue to produce fresh ones. Seeing, however, how cautiously they proceeded I ordered only two clear and distinct demands to be made until I saw their mode of proceeding. This is the ordinary mode of never telling the truth, for the same men who told me, when I delivered your Majesty's letter, that the commission should be issued, afterwards said they knew nothing about it, besides which the commissioners twice contradicted themselves before the Council, and I proved them to have lied by their own documents. The design of them all is to make profit in any possible way, and when they say they will do justice it is only with this object. I presented proofs that Knollys, a kinsman of the Queen, had taken a Spanish ship and put his plunder in one of the Queen's castles, where he sold it, and they told me that when this was established, they would have the property returned to the merchants ; and yet afterwards they said it was necessary to prove the facts again, with the sole object of frightening away the witnesses, and making this an excuse for keeping the property. As the councillors themselves are the principal supporters of the pirates they have anticipated the arrival of Drake by appointing men in every port in England to assist him in concealing his booty, if he arrive safely with it.— London, 28th December 1579.
612. Bernardino De Mendoza to the King.
As soon as the prince of Condé came to La Fère, (fn. 3) in Picardy, he informed the Queen of it, and her ambassador in France, Paulet, arrived at the same time. He is not only a heretic, as I have said before, but a terrible Puritan ; who, although he publicly said that the king of France and his brother were so disagreed that he thought they would break with each other, secretly impressed upon the councillors, and particularly upon Walsingham, how advantageous it was to have brought Condé there to embarrass your Majesty, and to have again encouraged the war in the Netherlands by means of the troops who went to the aid of La Noue and the succour of Ghent, which, he said, would give plenty to do to the people of Hainault and Artois, even though the States were to help them, and De la Motte would soon have less reason for satisfaction. The councillors were particular in their inquiries, in the presence of Paulet, from some Englishmen whom they had brought over, from serving at Gravelines. They were especially anxious to learn whether the river which divides that place from France could be forded, and if boats were necessary, what sort they should be, and whether they could be found there or would have to be sent ; with other questions of the same sort. From this it may be gathered that they had designs in that part and I have sent a special post to De la Motte to inform him thereof.
Besides the ships I advised, there have recently left the west coast for the Levant, ships with great quantities of planks, and another, called the "Providence," of two hundred tons, which goes direct to the Isle of Chios carrying bell-metal and tin to the value of twenty thousand crowns.
A ship has left Zealand for Portugal with four thousand gun flints and some powder. And several other ships are going to the same place with powder shipped by Flemings. I have not been able to discover whether these munitions are for the King or for a private person.
The Portuguese ambassador is negotiating with the Queen and ministers respecting the confirmation of the agreement entered into three years ago, which expired on the 15th ultimo. The principal point of it is that the English are prohibited from voyaging to the Mina. I do not hear that he is authorised to treat on any other matter, but he has letters ordering him not to see Don Antonio if he comes hither, and to ask the Queen not to receive him.
The Scotch Parliament ended without giving to M. D'Aubigny the earldom of Lennox, but they conferred an abbey upon him which belonged to the Hamiltons, and was the richest in the country.
The number of Catholics, thank God, is daily increasing here, owing to the college and seminary for Englishmen which your Majesty ordered to be supported in Douai, whence there has come in the last year (and from the college of Rome) a hundred Englishmen who have been ordained there, (fn. 4) by which means a great number of people are being converted, generally persons who have never heard the truth preached before. These priests go about disguised as laymen, and although they are young men, their good life, fervency, and zeal in the work, are admirable. They exercise their duties with great good sense and discretion, in order not to give the heretics a chance to impede them. God's grace is clearly witnessed in the way they are led on by His hand in this ministry ; and in the joy and fortitude with which they offer themselves for martyrdom, whenever they are called upon to suffer it for the Lord's sake. Some have suffered thus with invincible firmness and ineffable content, following in the footsteps of so many of their predecessors. Of the old ones very few now remain, and they are imprisoned strictly. This was a cause for the great decay of religion, as there was no one to teach it, and none professed it, excepting those who had special grace given to them to persevere in it out of pure zeal. This is being remedied by means of those who have recently come hither, who pray continually for your Majesty ; recognizing that God has been pleased to make you His principal instrument in this great work. During the last three months they have converted five of these (Protestant) preachers, which conversion they believe will bear rich fruit, as they (the converts) have begged to be sent where they may study and confirm themselves in the faith, in order to return hither and preach it. God give them grace to do so.—London, 28th December 1579.

Three issues for Browns to address after Gordon suspension
Now that the Cleveland Browns have an official verdict and star wide receiver Josh Gordon is suspended for a year, the team can move on.
About that…
This is obviously the worst possible outcome for the Browns and for Gordon. Even if the team was braced for this — to an extent — it still let Gordon through much of training camp and the preseason. And though moves were made to address the receiver position, not much in the preseason has happened to settle any spot or provide hope that Gordon's big-play production can be replaced.
So, now that Gordon's locker has been cleaned out and general manager Ray Farmer can point to Saturday's final 53-man roster, here are three issues to be addressed and questions to be answered.
1. Geting Gordon back is no guarantee
He's gone for a year due to a level three violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy, meaning regardless of what the circumstances of his exposure to marijuana were, he knew he was on his final strike. Then, he was arrested for DUI in July at 3 a.m., well after that final strike. That's not related to this case but points to a pattern of poor decisions. All those decisions will have to be addressed with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell before Gordon can come back.
The NFL's statement said Gordon's eligibility for reinstatement will be determined after the 2014 season. So, in a worst-case scenario for both Gordon and the Browns, he's barred from team facilities and team activities until then. A guy who's clearly made a bunch of bad decisions not only isn't getting paid for 2014 but is being sent off on his own.
The Browns can only hope Gordon surrounds himself with the right people and is focused on getting back.
2. The Browns still chose not to draft a wide receiver
The first leak of a possible suspension came during the 2014 NFL Draft – specifically, it came on the second night of the draft, just before the second round.
The Browns then took a guard. And then a linebacker. And then they traded up in the third round for a running back. On the draft's final day they ended up making only one more selection, a cornerback.
Now, if finding receivers as gifted as Gordon is was easy, everybody would have them. Everybody would draft them. But the word is the Browns knew of the looming suspension before it leaked to the public, and they still chose to pass on a first-round receiver in three different spots and then keep passing.
They chose to pursue an immediate future with Andrew Hawkins, Miles Austin, Nate Burleson and two guys coming off of torn ACLs.
Maybe they really didn't like any of the receivers past the top tier of the draft. Maybe that running back they traded up to get, Terrance West, will be really good. Maybe there's some sort of plan hiding behind the curtain. The Browns knew Gordon was flirting with an extended vacation, and now they have to deal with it.
3. Have the plans changed?
Gordon went through all of the spring work. He started training camp working mostly with the backup groups but also worked with the No. 1 group at times. He still looked the same player when he was engaged, but he wasn't always engaged. After Browns coach Mike Pettine questioned his effort in a lackluster second preseason game performance, the Browns held Gordon out of the next game. First, Pettine said it was due to a minor injury. Later, that changed to "common sense" saying a suspension was coming.
Now, the offense is searching for anything and the receiving corps scares no one. Common sense says the NFL was unfair to the Browns in waiting this long to render a decision and the Browns look rather reactive — and slow at that — in just now having him out of the mix. This is a bad situation all around, but it's been clear since the spring that the Browns would struggle to attack defenses vertically with or without Gordon. Maybe Travis Benjamin is healthy and can be a player who can run past defenders once the regular season starts. Maybe a trade is coming.
The verdict is unfortunate for the Browns, who said all along they were waiting to hear like everyone else. It's unfortunate for Gordon who has to go away and might have cost himself millions of dollars. It's been obvious since May, though, that the Browns had a Josh Gordon problem looming. Now, 11 days from the season opener, the Browns still have a Gordon problem. They have to try to challenge defenses without him while hoping he can take care of himself well enough to eventually help the team again.

Posted on 01/19/2011 11:18:51 AM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
WASHINGTON -- Allegations of a pro-gay takeover, boycotts, embezzlement and terrorist-loving board members. Sounds like a Hollywood version of a conspiracy thriller, but it's not.
It's the buzz around this year's Conservative Political Action Conference, the nation's single largest annual congregation of conservative leaders.
Conservatives riding a new wave of momentum thanks to the strength of the Tea Party movement and big wins in the November midterm election should be riding high ahead of this year's CPAC,scheduled to take place in Washington on Feb. 10-13. But the conference, which has met for 38 years, has found itself beset by conflict that even its founder seemed to acknowledge in a recent e-mail with FoxNews.com.
"This year, some have been critical of CPAC because of who will be attending and others because they want others rather than those likely to be featured to speak," said David Keene, the embattled president of the American Conservative Union, which has hosted CPAC every year since 1973
But Keene said the grumbling and positioning is nothing new for a conference whose attendance last year topped a record 10,000.
"The conservative movement is a coalition of men and women who share important core values, but hold widely differing positions on issues they believe to be very important. The bottom line is that more organizations are participating this year than ever before and if current projections hold, attendance will exceed last year," Keene said.
Still, several high-profile groups, including the Media Research Center, the Family Research Council, Rev. Jerry Falwell's Liberty University and the Heritage Foundation -- giants in the galaxy of conservative activism -- have pulled out this year, following boycott calls by the American Principles Project.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
As far as I'm concerned, CPAC is done.
Those aren't accusations, they're facts.
Buh-bye CPAC.
CPAC ought to go ahead and change their name and make it official:
Fudge PAC
Oh my!
I'm not threatened by the log cabin types. Let em try to peddle their ideology and see how well it sells. But Grover Norquist is another matter. He IS an Islamist and is setting the agenda like he manipulated GWB in the aftermath of 9/11 to give CAIR the keys to the liquor cabinet.
If there are Muslims and gays who can agree with us, push conservative principles and make in-roads with disenchanted Independents and moderate democrats, then I would want to rent them a flat bed trailer and a megaphone to go through the nation and say so. Otherwise, if they work against Christians in and from this platform, CPAC, then yes the organization can fold, if it's their presence alone in CPAC, then that's quite a danger saying, far more about the Christians than the gays and Muslims.
Grover Norquist is seriously bad news and he has gotten a lot of power in GOP circles.
PC reacts like acid on truth and values. Conservatives shouldn't play with it.
Free Republic Founder Joins Boycott Of CPAC (Last Year)
"Ill join that boycott. If CPAC is no longer for conservative family values then I want nothing to do with them. Theyll have to change their name to HOMOPAC."
Islam and homosexuality are mutually exclusive. I don't see how it is possible to have a "Pro-Gay, Muslim Agenda".
I agree. Grover Norquist is a complete contradiction in terms.
I am with Ryan Sorba on this one.
Tell that to the little boys in Afghanistan.
GOPride is nothing but a relabeling of the Log Cabin Republicans.
Their only real agenda, as their behavior at the CPAC conferences has made clear, is to push the gay agenda among so-called conservatives, not to push conservatism among gays.
You can be gay and conservative. But you really can't be a gay activist and conservative. All they are doing is exactly what the liberal press constantly does: driving a wedge between social conservatives and fiscal conservatives. And that is how the Democrats have repeatedly won elections.
The nation of Islam is an enemy of freedom.
Muslims and gays are 180 degrees opposed to conservative principals." ______________________________________________
If that is a fact then I stand corrected of course, but gays in Congress in the form of Log Cabin have been known to have pulled our fat out of the fire on more than one occasion and on more than one issue. Muslims can form their own coalition, like anyone else, if they don't support our platform, but where they do they become utilitarian to our politics and we have more than a dozen or so in this country who are silent for fear of risking lives of family members in the Middle East.
Egyptian Muslims just last week encircled a Coptic Catholic Mass to protect Christians after the slaughter of Catholics IN the Mass. They risked their own lives and that says something is a foot among Muslims.
What a surprise that the two most prevalent mental disorders in society work hand in hand!

A Myanmar state newspaper says President Thein Sein has granted amnesty to 46 prisoners.
It was not immediately clear whether it would apply to the hundreds of political prisoners who activists and rights groups say are incarcerated in Myanmar.
The state-run New Light of Myanmar reported Tuesday that 37 men and nine women would be released.
It said the decision had been made on humanitarian grounds "with a view to ensuring the stability of the state and making eternal peace (and) national reconciliation."
Human Rights Watch counts at least 659 political prisoners as being freed over the past year. But rights groups say between 200 and 600 remain behind bars.

Posted on 02/22/2014 9:07:00 AM PST by rawhide
Parliament arranged the release of Yanukovych's arch-rival, former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who was on her way to Kiev to join the protesters.
Asked by crowds gathered at the hospital where she was released about her further plans, Tymoshenko said, "I will run for president," news agencies reported.
She said she will "make it so that no drop of blood that was spilled will be forgotten."
Tymoshenko, the blond-braided icon of Ukraine's 2004 Orange Revolution, was heading from prison in the eastern city of Kharkiv straight to the protest camp, her party said.

Yanukovych is reportedly in Kharkiv, a pro-Yanukovych stronghold (or its supposed to be), and hes at a conference of the Ukrainian Front, a collection of politicians, and pro-government street thugs, who are willing to die for the President. But as a recent article by John Schindler, on The XX Committee, points out, the Ukranian Front appears to be deeply influenced and controlled by the Russian government. In fact, the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Russian State Duma, Alexei Pushkov, is present in Kharkiv right now. Heres what the report has to say about the nature of the Ukrainian Front:
It seems Moscow is not pleased with its protege Yanukovych and his inability to crush the opposition, so it is forming a new grouping to assist the hardliners. Given that the appearance of the Ukrainian Front has been heralded with a birth announcement in the Kremlins official newspaper, Russian approval and support can be assumed.
Moreover, the embrace of Stalinist-era rhetoric by the Ukrainian Front indicates a great deal, and will serve as a needless irritant towards Ukrainians who detest Stalin and his murderous legacy. In a similar vein, Communist activists have unveiled a bust of Stalin in Western Ukraine, a provocation that is about as offensive to most locals there as a statue of Hitler would be in the rest of Europe. Of course, hailing Stalins victories in the 1940′s is of a piece with the current Kremlin vilification campaign against all Ukrainians who do not want their country to be subjugated by Russia, a nasty agitprop line that regrettably has Western supporters, not all of them unwitting dupes.
Now that the Ukrainian Front has entered the picture, with Moscows imprimatur, expect the situation in Ukraine to only get worse. It would be difficult to overstate the danger Ukraine and Europe are in at the moment thanks to intimidation, meddling and provocation by Vladimir Putins Kremlin. European governments would be well advised to not permit naked Russian interference of a violent and coercive sort in Ukrainian politics: this cannot end well.
And now we have rallies in Sevastopol, where the Russian Black Fleet is anchored, in favor of reuniting with Russia (jump to update 1410).
I had know knowledge of this woman until this event! Having read up on her she seems like a true small 'd' democrat trying to turn a soviet style government into a capitalistic democracy. It's clear it would not be easy. Entrenched special interests play hard ball with their power positions and fear of losing them!
I hope your right but fear this is only the beginning! With such a weak president of the USA, Putin will not be deterred from pushing his hard line gangster thugs into some sort of counter revolution. I fear the blood has just started to flow!!!

The largest study to date of the issue, has found no definite connection between the debris from the Sept. 11 World Trade Center attack and cancer, the New York Times reported.
"In both the rescue recovery workers and the non-rescue recovery workers, we did not find any different overall cancer rate from what we determined from the background rate from the New York State Cancer Registry," Dr. Steven D. Stellman told CBS News.
More from GlobalPost: Cancers linked to 9/11 attacks covered by Zadroga law
The New York City health department looked at 55,700 people who inhaled dust and fumes following the collapse of the Twin Towers, the New York Times reported. Researchers studied people who'd been in lower Manhattan on the day of the attack and recovery workers who spent time at the attack site and at the Staten Island landfill in the months following Sept. 11.
Overall, the researchers found no increase in the incidence of 23 cancers among their study subjects between 2003 and 2008 compared with the cancer rate of the general population, the New York Times reported. Their findings were published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
However, prostate cancer, thyroid cancer and multiple myeloma (cancer of the bone marrow cells) were slightly more common in rescue and recovery workers during the last two years of the study, Reuters reported.
According to Reuters:
Aid workers were between 1.4 and 2.9 times more likely to be diagnosed with one of those cancers in 2007 or 2008 than other New Yorkers.
Dr. Jacqueline Moline from North Shore-LIJ Health System in Great Neck, NY, who was not involved in the study, told Reuters that rescue workers in the study may have received more health care since the attack and so been checked for prostate and thyroid cancer more frequently, leading to higher diagnosis rates.
"What's most important here is that it's still early," New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley told 1010 WINS, according to CBS News. "Cancer could take up to 20 years to develop and so we're going to have to continue to watch this over the long term to see whether those three increases continue and to see what happens with overall cancer rates."

Emily Bauer was a normal 16 year old girl full of light and laughter, until she decided to try and smoke "Kush", a synthetic marijuana sold under the name potpourri by corner stores and headshops in the area. Emily figured because her friends were doing it, and all seemed fine, that she would be okay. She was terribly mistaken, as is thousands of others who have suffered complications from smoking "fake weed". Kush is unregulated, and you never know what's in it, since the makers are constantly changing a chemical in the compound to find a loophole every time it is outlawed.
Within 15 minutes of smoking, Emily told her boyfriend that she had a migraine and was going to lay down. She then suffered strokes which put her in a psychotic like state, where she proceeded to urinate herself, run into walls, speak gibberish, hallucinate and act violent. The police were called to help restrain her into an ambulance, where she was taken to Northwest Cypress Hospital. The doctors put Emily into an induced coma, where she spent the next 4 days in ICU as they did multiple tests on her brain.
The doctors quickly found out she had strokes, and it had caused severe vasculitis and that parts of her brain were permanently shut down and damaged from the blood vessels contracting and cutting off the oxygen to her brain-- but they also gave us hopes, one as such that she could hear us talking, because her heart rate would rise while we were in the room holding her hand, and stroking the hair off of her swollen face.

R: [anthroposophy] How to fight against Asuras
Expand Messages
- Dear listmates.As the LOGOS. the Divine Word, The Second Person of the Holy Trinity the Christ is stronger, stromnger in a way hard to detect, than every Hindrance's Power.The real riddle is how and when the Being called "Man" is able to gain Christ's Help. Here lies and the kernel) of the whole Spiritual Science and Steiner built up a path, rightly called "Mika-El-itic" mainly through the Five Basic Exercises as the roots of the Living Thinking Path , able to let every "goodwill man" to gain such an Help.Andrea----- Original Message -----From: muriel durand-bourlierSent: Sunday, August 08, 2004 4:35 PMSubject: [anthroposophy] How to fight against AsurasRudolf Steiner speaks about Asuras : a third stream of spirits of opposition (with Lucifer and Ahriman), which are retarded Archai who work to destroy the human "I", the Ego itself. The Asuras might be agents of the actual Antichrist, the Sun-Demon, known to occultism as "Sorat" (or "Sorath"). To fight against forces of Lucifer and Ahriman, we need appeal to Christ. But to fight against Asuras, someone told me Christ energies aren't effective, Asuras are more powerful. Does someone know which divine entity (entities ?) is able to help to fight against Asuras ?At present, I haven't yet found in Rudolf Steiner texts, references on the energy or entity who can help, who is as or more powerful as/than Asuras.I've thought of Bouddha or of other hindou gods but I haven't found any confirmation of that. It may be other god(s) or energy.Does someone have ideas and indicate in which references I can read about ?Thank you for your help.Muriel.PS 1 : The faster you can answer, the best it is for me.PS 2 : Excuse my English errors, I'm French and haven't a perfect knowledge of English language.

Gun Love | Wandering Hearst Castle Zebras Shot Dead, Become Rugs/
HopeTracker| Pity the three zebras — a buck, a mare and a yearling — that escaped the Heart Ranch at San Simeon and wandered over to nearby Cambria.
When the zebras had the unmitigated stupidity to turn up on David Fiscalini's cattle ranch, he raised his shot gun and killed two of them. A neighbor took down the third.
The fury between ranchers and animal lovers escalated beyond ranchers saying they have a right to defend livestock — allegedly "spooked" by the zebras. It was David Fiscalini's calling of a taxidermist, asking him to skin one of the zebras for a rug that produced an outcry. The other neighbor wanted a zebra rug, too.
Stephen Hearst, William Randolph Hearst's great-grandson, who oversees the animals that live at Heart Castle, said he was shocked that Fiscalini hadn't called him about the zebras. The zebras, Hearst said, rarely venture beyond the fence, "but from time to time they do, and neighbors give us a call and we retrieve them." via LA Times

I'm sorry it's taking longer than you anticipated, sweetie! You know I'm there for you. Just remember that even tho there are negative reviews online.....a lot of times it's the upset people that'll post their comments and not the happy ones. So make sure you take the reviews with a grain of salt. You may have already asked the nurse, but does she have an idea of how successful the different banks have been from her (or the clinic's) experience? I understand her positive reviews are based on shipping, timing, orders, etc....but, what about the actual outcome?
You know I'll help where I can.
I hope you and your family can get some information about your nephew soon. I know it's weighing heavily on your mind right now. More

To correct this I purchased Bronco's excellent Sd.Ah 52 flak ammo trailer. There has been a lot of discussion online about what flak trailer went with what flak wagon and there have been comments that the Sd.Ah 52 was only for the 3.7 cm Flak 18/36/ etc. auto cannon while the Flak 38 vehicles used the Sd.Ah 56 or later 57 trailer. While it is true that the Sd.Ah 52 trailer was the default trailer used on mounted 3.7 cm flak wagons, it was also used on the Flak 38 vehicles due its large size and need for lots of ammo for its quad auto canon.
There are a few distinguishing features between the -52 and -56 trailers but the most easily recognizable difference were the wheel rims.
Here's a picture of a mid or late Sd.Kfz 7/1 Flakvierling 38 towing a Sd.Ah 56 flak trailer. Note the convex shape of the wheel rim and bolt sequence on the hub. Also a picture of just the trailer itself.
Now, here'a picture of the Sd.Ah 52 trailer.Note the flat face of the rim.
And here are pictures of some early flak 38 vehicles towing the Sd.Ah 52 trailer.

Light therapy is increasingly administered and studied as a non-pharmacologic treatment for a variety of health-related problems, including treatment of people with dementia. Light therapy comes in a variety of ways, ranging from being exposed to daylight, to being exposed to light emitted by light boxes and ambient bright light. Light therapy is an area in medicine where medical sciences meet the realms of physics, engineering and technology. Therefore, it is paramount that attention is paid in the methodology of studies to the technical aspects in their full breadth. This paper provides an extensive introduction for non-technical researchers on how to describe and adjust their methodology when involved in lighting therapy research. A specific focus in this manuscript is on ambient bright light, as it is an emerging field within the domain of light therapy. The paper deals with how to (i) describe the lighting equipment, (ii) describe the light measurements, (iii) describe the building and interaction with daylight. Moreover, attention is paid to the uncertainty in standards and guidelines regarding light and lighting for older adults. © 2012 - IOS Press and the authors. All rights reserved.

Whenever you aren't feeling the best, you want to find strategies to feel great minus the negative effects of traditional drugs. A lot of prescriptions today include a set of problems they cause that are as long as you are tall! Avoid this stressful situation by investigating Portland Hypnosis through this article instead.
When you are getting yourself ready for an Portland Hypnosis treatment, make sure to speak to your doctor in advance and notify them about any medications you take. That features vitamins at the same time. They may wish you to definitely stop using some of them while you are receiving treatment.
Portland Hypnosis involves needles, there is not any way of preventing this which is anxiety that you will need to get over. The remedies are comfortable and administered by professionals. The needles aren't there to inject medications or inflict pain. It could be a scary idea at first, but after the initial visit, you'll be prepared for seconds.
Schedule your appointments during periods of low stress. Do not schedule it near a time when you plan on carrying out a strenuous activity. Don't pack your schedule with stressful activities either before or after your Portland Hypnosis treatment. This will make it harder to relax.
Usually do not overeat ahead of your appointment by having an acupuncturist. You should also avoid going to the appointment without having food inside your stomach. Being too hungry could make you feel dizzy and even nauseous. A mild meal or snack is all that you need with an enjoyable experience.
After an Portland Hypnosis session, make sure you hydrate yourself properly. A great guideline is usually to consume at least six servings of water carrying out a session. Portland Hypnosis can cause you to release toxins through the body, and you must drink plenty of water to flush those toxins from your system.
Usually do not let an acupuncturist convince you they can be experienced because they practiced in another country. Keep in mind that practicing Portland Hypnosis in China or perhaps in another country is quite different from what doctors are permitted to do in the Usa Ask your acupuncturist regarding their education and experience with the United states
Try and wear loose fitting clothing for the appointment. Wearing clothes that suit loosely will make your session much easier upon you and also the acupuncturist. It'll give your practitioner easier access for needle placement. It is additionally possible you'll stay in a team session that you don't remove your clothes, so make sure they're loose and comfy.
Work with a little visualization to aid your Portland Hypnosis treatment along. Visualize the pain or injury escaping since the needle is put in place, and concentration on a feeling of numbness round the insertion site to help yourself to avoid discomfort. Visualization is certainly a powerful thing, and it will help make your treatments far better and durable.
Using this type of great advice at hand about Portland Hypnosis, you have an all-natural strategy to remedy your problems. From depression to diarrhea, constipation on the common cold, this age-old art will benefit you in all sorts of ways. Locate a reputable practitioner near by and look for the relief you will need due to their help.
