Halos ride Weaver's gem, three homers past A's
Pujols, Aybar, Trout go deep vs. American League West leaders
ANAHEIM -- If the Angels are going to make a run in the second half, their stars need to lead the way.
And on Friday night, in a 4-1 victory over the American League West-leading Athletics at Angel Stadium, Jered Weaver, Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton did exactly that.
Trout, Pujols and Hamilton combined for five hits, two home runs and three RBIs, Weaver threw 6 2/3 scoreless innings and the Angels snapped their three-game losing streak in front of an announced crowd of 43,515 -- the club's fourth sellout of the season.
While every win is important, this opened a stretch with 13 of 20 games against either Oakland or Texas, the two teams the Angels are chasing in the standings.
"The standings right now are there," said Mike Scioscia, who became the 39th manager (fifth active) to reach 1,200 wins. "They are what they are. We dug a big hole and we know what we're up against and we also know it's doable. We have a lot of confidence in our team going the way we can."
Weaver, who ended the first half by allowing four runs in 5 2/3 innings in a loss to Seattle, returned to his dominant self against Oakland.
"You want to try to utilize all your pitches throughout the course of a game," Weaver said. "Certain pitches weren't there early, but I was able to get them later on. Slider was really effective, was able to throw that to both lefties and righties."
The Angels' ace threw a season-high 118 pitches, recorded a season-high eight strikeouts, scattered four hits and has now thrown 24 straight scoreless innings against Oakland.
"I think that you match up well against certain teams, and Oakland is a team that I've had some success against," Weaver said.
As Weaver was shutting down the Athletics -- who had to scratch Home Run Derby champion Yoenis Cespedes because of soreness in his left wrist -- the Angels' offense put together its own power display against Oakland starter A.J. Griffin.
"I gave up three home runs, but I felt I was executing pitches pretty well," Griffin said. "It was just not our day. Weaver was on; he was really spotting up on that white line. It's just frustrating to me."
Griffin, who has surrendered 22 home runs this season, gave up solo shots to Erick Aybar, Pujols and Trout.
"Aybar went down and got it, dropped the head on it," Griffin said. "With Trout I tried to go with a changeup after I struck him out with it the previous at-bat. I didn't get it down enough, and he got it. The one to Pujols was one slider too many. He looked uncomfortable on the first three sliders, but I kind of left the last one up a little too much. He's been around a while; it wasn't his first home run. Trout's pretty good, too."
Hamilton, a career .301 hitter after the All-Star break, got the scoring started with an RBI double in the first, but the Angels relied on the long ball after that.
Pujols entered Friday's contest with a career .324 average in the second half, highest among all active players, and added to that with a pair of hits. In the third, the Angels slugger took a 3-2 pitch and smacked it over the left-field wall for his 491st career home run. Pujols has nine RBIs in the last eight games and hits in nine of the last 10.
"He got into a deep count and just got a little offspeed pitch that was middle-in, and he didn't miss it," Scioscia said. "The line drive to right-center was good to see, too. I think that's when Albert's at his best, when he's able to move the ball around the field. He's important to us and it's good to see him have a good night tonight."
Aybar led off the fifth inning with a home run of his own as he snuck his fourth home run of the season just inside the right-field foul pole.
Trout also got to Griffin -- who allowed four runs on six hits in five innings -- in the fifth when he joined the home run barrage.
The Angels All-Star hit his 16th home run of the season, a solo shot to left field, and extended his hitting streak to a season-long 11 games in the process.
Although the win was a big one for the Angels, the team still has a lot of work to do.
"Every game is important," Trout said. "Weave came out, pitched seven strong for us, battled. Bats were there, we had some clutch hits and our bullpen came in and shut the door. So, we just need to keep it rolling into tomorrow."

I think that the movie would have been better is they had used a different actress as the girl they kidnap. She just looks like she should be in the 3rd grade or soemthing, not soembody that looks good with Mark. I hope im not affending anybody who likes her, its just my opinion.

It was me who said they dated, and yes it is true (?!) I don't agree that in real life it's not about looks. When it comes to what attracts us in a person individually (we all have different tastes!) I think you have to SEE people you like the LOOK of before considering even talking to them etc..Isn't that why we're all crazy for Mr Wahlberg?
HEY Micha!

i absolutely love Lou Diamond Phillips in the movie! his character's just funny, the way he talks and behaves... great
but noone's better than Mark, of course
China Chow looked a bit too young, i think. whenever they were together on the screen i felt that he was her babysitter - sorry
i'd have chosen an older looking girl... but China Chow does a great job, though.
i love the movie!!

There are two distinct styles of presidential campaigning—one for the top tier, and one for the also-rans. While Mitt Romney's Allentown visit or Michele Bachmann's declaration of candidacy in Iowa get lots of attention (the latter helped by a couple of gaffes), lesser-knowns like Gary Johnson or even Rick Santorum are forced to become road warriors, pounding the pavement and hitting small events. That's what Ron Paul did Friday in New Hampshire, visiting small businesses, a house party, and even a gas station.
But Paul, previously one of those fringe candidates, has become a more influential figure in his party, though still a very long shot for the nomination. And like Romney, Tim Pawlenty, and Bachmann, he has a recent political book, that rite of passage for presidential contenders. In fact, he's more prolific an author than any of his rivals except Newt Gingrich.
Paul's newest book, Liberty Defined, was published in April, spent a couple weeks on The New York Times bestseller list and peaked at No. 3. So what's in the book? We cracked it open to find out the juiciest pieces of red meat—including the bits that might appeal to New Hampshire's staunchly libertarian "Live Free or Die" crowd—and the strangest digressions.
First, a note about the book. It's subtitled "50 Essential Issues That Affect Our Freedom," and the format is basically a series of stump speeches on topics arranged alphabetically, from Abortion to Zionism. Here's a sampling of what's inside—aside from the usual boilerplate about the Federal Reserve.
1. FDR's Four Freedoms Is a Fount of Tyranny
How do you turn a speech best known through a series of heartwarming Norman Rockwell paintings into a serious threat to America? Watch and learn: Paul explains that Franklin Roosevelt's "odious Four Freedoms Speech"—it gets its own chapter—not only improperly usurped enforcement of the First Amendment for the federal government, but also laid the path for American intervention abroad by suggesting the freedoms were universal. An extra reference to Roosevelt's "stealing the gold from American citizens" comes free. Attacking this speech is an innovation of sorts, but bashing the father of the New Deal goes well with Tea.
2. The Bush-Obama Doctrine Stokes Foreign Anger at America
Once upon a time, Paul's isolationism made him an oddball in his party. But now, with more Republicans turning against American action in Libya, his view is more mainstream. And there's plenty of it here. He makes frequent reference to the "Bush-Obama doctrine," a formulation that neatly sets him apart from both the adventurism of the Bush years and the present Democratic administration; he even states, bizarrely, that Obama's foreign policy "is not as visibly run by the neocons at the American Enterprise Institute." But sometimes he veers into territory that could irk staunch patriots. He's insistent that American foreign policy has driven anger at America abroad—a stance that has long been grounds for accusing liberals of "blaming America first."
3. Federal Power Grabs Are Curtailing Our Sovereignty
It's the reddest of the red meat both for Tea Partiers and Paul's own more purely libertarian base: blasting the federal government for stomping on states' and individuals' sovereignty. He reprises comments he and his son Sen. Rand Paul have made about the Civil Rights Act improperly applying to private establishments. A chapter on states' rights turns into an argument for nullification, the long-discredited notion that states can nullify federal laws they oppose (in making his case, he mentions in passing that "the Civil War was fought to keep all states under the thumb of a powerful central government"—even though a chapter on slavery directly precedes it). Paul even flirts with the idea that the Constitution should apply only to those who personally consent to it; then he quickly moves on, writing, "Enforcing the Tenth Amendment is a big enough challenge to us for now."
4. We Don't Need More Bipartisanship
What's the perfect message for a Republican electorate dead set against compromise on everything from health care to the debt ceiling? Try this: "People often say that what this country needs is for people in Washington to stop fighting and just get the job done. To achieve that, we need more 'bipartisanship.' I don't agree…When the ideas of both parties are bad, there is really only one hope: that they will continue fighting and not pass any new legislation."
5. John Maynard Keynes Is to Blame for Everything
Aside from the federal government, the great bête noir of Paul's book is John Maynard Keynes. Keynesianism gets its own chapter, but the economist appears frequently throughout. Paul says he's discredited but doesn't bother getting into the weeds of arguing the case. It doesn't matter, though: Keynes is most important as a byword for all that's wrong. Even the militarists Paul detests are labeled "military Keynesians" who see defense spending as economic stimulus.
6. Global Warming Is a Hoax
Another slam dunk: dismissing global warming as a hoax. The chapter is one of Paul's least coherent arguments but best political grandstanding. In just 11 pages, he makes a variety of spurious claims. "The idea that government can plan weather patterns for decades strikes me as the height of absurdity," he writes, an uncontroversial argument against a nonexistent straw man. Without a trace of irony, he calls the scientific consensus on climate change "an unserious, intellectual luxury." He blatantly misrepresents the "Climategate" controversy. And he suggests that while some people genuinely believe in global warming, many others are "brainwashed, some join to keep an academic career going," and others are purely doing it to pave the way for authoritarianism. There are almost no facts involved, but as rhetoric, it's a command performance.
7. There Is a Connection Between Abolitionists and Von Mises
A chapter on slavery starts with a casual assertion: "John Quincy Adams was not an abolitionist." It's almost as if Paul was anticipating Michele Bachmann's arguments about Adams. Indeed, the book often seems like half a dialogue with the Minnesota congresswoman: Both are members of Congress vying for the Republican nomination, both are Tea Party favorites, and both are social conservatives (Paul, for example, kicks off with a chapter arguing against abortion). Nonetheless, the most impressive element here is a swift pivot from a meditation on abolitionists William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips to an ode to Austrian School economist Ludwig von Mises, one of the dedicatees of the book. Blink and you might miss the connection.
8. Taxes Are Bad for Freedom
You knew it was coming, but Paul spends precious little time on details; he doesn't need to. His final conclusion: Taxes are "a bad deal for liberty." Enough said.
9. The Right to Health Care Is an 'Intellectual Error'
Why, in the Tea Party's moment, is Paul still seen as an unlikely choice for the GOP nod? Consider his chapter on health care. He's eager to embrace the party line against Obamacare—as a clear case of what the GOP see as federal government overstepping its bounds, he's on board. But he goes further than most Republicans would, for reasons of policy or politics. Paul acknowledges he's out of step with the majority of Americans, who might not be fond of the new health-care plan but still seem to think health care is an important service and widely support Medicare and Medicaid. But Paul boldly soldiers on: "The prevailing attitude of the American people is that everyone has a right to medical care. This is an intellectual error that will lead us down a path toward destroying what is good in the current system."
10. The Federal Reserve Supports the CIA?
More harmful than his stand on health care are the strange side notes that Paul simply can't resist tossing into his text. He praises Julian Assange and WikiLeaks several times; tosses in a chapter on Zionism that's unlikely to gain him much praise in the current Israel-loving climate; says Texas' decision to seek statehood was "probably a mistake"; eloquently speaks out against the death penalty; and mentions in passing that the Federal Reserve may be secretly financing the CIA—a claim that would raise eyebrows even if he supported it with evidence or a footnote, which he doesn't. Disciplined candidates don't do such things. Even when Bachmann commits a gaffe, it tends to be a minor incident of misspeaking, not a case of her veering away from her talking points. It's in moments like this that one realizes why Paul—despite his place as an intellectual godfather of the current GOP—spent part of his Friday afternoon hanging out at the Gilford, N.H., Mobil station.

December doubt becomes March magic
Everybody's watching.
The evening crowd at the Torrey Pines Holiday Classic — jampacked into the bleachers with scouts, fans and players — awaits the National Division championship match between St. Augustine and Sacramento Sheldon.
During warm-ups, Saints guard Trey Kell feels a nudge on the shoulder.
"Look," a teammate says while pointing upward at a gentleman with pepper-colored hair wearing glasses and sweats.
Perched in the stands above the basketball court is Steve Fisher, who is attending to business. The San Diego State coach is peering at the future of Aztecs basketball — Sheldon guards Dakarai Allen and D'Erryl Williams — while simultaneously evaluating another potential addition, Kell.
"Mixed emotions," recalled Kell, who received a scholarship offer from San Diego State last week.
"I was nervous because it was the coach of one of my favorite schools watching two of his players and me, a player he is interested in, and excited because this was an opportunity to show him what I am capable of doing on the basketball court against a great team."
The scoreboard blares. The game is over.
A dejected Kell isolates himself on the bench, questioning his 10-point performance and the 64-47 rout by Sheldon.
"He was disgusted with himself, wouldn't talk to anyone," said Marshawn Cherry, Kell's San Diego All-Stars travel basketball coach. "He felt he let his teammates down in the most important game of the tournament."
Worse, an opportunity slipped from his grip.
"I felt like I had one of the worst games of my life," Kell said.
"It seemed like nothing was falling for me the entire game. I turned the ball over continuously."
A distant memory, now. Especially after March.
"It was probably one of the best months of my life," Kell said.
It began with a San Diego Section Division III championship at Viejas Arena. Followed with a 30-point, 11-rebound performance — including three game-tying free throws with 2.9 seconds left to force overtime — that sealed St. Augustine's state championship. And culminated with a scholarship offer.
During an unofficial visit at San Diego State, mere days after the Saints captured the first state basketball title in the 91-year history of the program, Kell said Fisher pulled the trigger and offered him a scholarship.
In addition to SDSU, Kell has offers from USD, UC Davis and UC Irvine.
"I'm proud of our guys and Trey for a lot of reasons," Saints coach Mike Haupt said. "Any time a young man has an opportunity to play at a high level, after he leaves here, it's exciting and I'm proud of that."
The match against Sheldon was the turning point for Kell.
"He was in the gym at 7 a.m. the very next morning putting up shots, hitting the weight room and improving every facet of his game," Cherry said.
Kell wanted to grow from the experience instead of dwelling on the negative.
"I could either let my performance in the championship game against Sheldon diminish my confidence moving forward or work to elevate my game to the next level," Kell said. "I chose to use it as a motivator."
The San Carlos resident capped the season averaging 19.8 points per game, earning him All-San Diego Section honors.
Travel ball consumes his time now. Kell and the All-Stars participated in the Pangos Showcase in Cerritos this past weekend. Scouts attended.
"Universities, specifically some Pac 12 schools, interested in him want to see that he can play man-to-man defense, locking up his guy, keeping him in a bubble for five seconds without letting them get to the rack," Cherry said.
"They also want to see him continue to show his shooting touch and his ability to get to the basket while finishing in traffic with authority."
His decision and options remain open. A commitment is expected to come after the summer.
"I had three other offers from great schools as well when I received my offer from San Diego State so I wanted to sit down with my family and discuss the pros and cons of each school before making a decision," Kell said.
"I'll let things play out this summer, see what happens and make a decision with my family then."

Juana Molina | 08/09/08
To celebrate the release of Juana Molina's fifth album Un Dia on 6th October 2008 we're proud to offer you this gift.
The opening song, also called 'Un Dia' or One Day in English, is now completely free to download now from our Domino Digital Store. The song is a slow building hurricane of rhythms, beats and looping mantra of vocals declaring:
"Un día voy a cantar las canciones sin letra y cada uno podrá imaginar si hablo de amor, de desilusión, banalidades o sobre platón."
(Or, in English) "One day I will sing the songs with no lyrics and everyone can imagine for themselves if it's about love, disappointment, banalities or about Plato."
For 12 years now Juana Molina had ventured down her own musical path with the unrelenting, searching energy that only a handful of her female contemporaries (Bjork, Konono, MIA, Feist) could also acclaim. Since her vocational shift from primetime TV comedy in Argentina, her evolution from pin up 'World Music Artist' (whatever that means) to pioneering vocal/acoustic loop songstress to a master of her art form, Juana's music is now getting the recognition and audience is has long deserved and the world finally seems to realize that music doesn't have to fit into an easy explanation to move and seduce you.
Un Dia takes you to a looser, wilder and darker place than previous ventures and as the album cover might alludes, it displaces you in a spellbinding world that you can image Guillermo Del Toro-like alien characters inhabiting but still with the angelic voice, textured melodies and a strange and beautiful complex simplicity and that we know and love.
To see Juana Molina live is to witness the mad science of musical alchemy before your very eyes and Juana will be performing live at Domino's Crystal Anniversary show on the 5th October at the majestic St Luke's Church in London and continuing across the UK and Europe.

As it stands now, there is absolutely no point in using just one revolver if you're carrying two. With this change, there are advantages and disadvantages to each. The advantage of carrying one is the ability to make accurate shots, while the advantage to carrying two is either extra shots before reloading or the possibility of a double-hit.
Also, in real life, aiming just one gun is hard enough. Two of them? Hope you're within 20 feet, because beyond that you may as well be wearing a blindfold.
I'd crack up right now, but I'm in class. Modern FPS games aren't even remotely close to as realistic as SG is; they just pretend like they are. When it comes to actual gameplay, the faux-realism of modern games sticks out like a shiny red shoot-me light, while SG holds strong with its accurate guns and high damage-per-shot.dowoshek wrote:To be honest, incresing randomness in this kind of game isn't a good idea. It should always be about skill not luck (when possible and not unnecessary). Let's leave the 'real life' factor for modern FPS and keep SG's old-school competition.
Good, that means we're on to something here.I like the rest of your suggestions concerning weapons.

Two GPL-licensed open-source games also based on the Q3 engine have already done so: Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and Wolfenstein: Enemy-Territory [though this is running a modified version of the engine]. This is done with the command g_antilag, and it may actually be possible to just drop in the g_antilag.c file and go with it. Heck, if it really is that easy, then maybe it could make 1.2, but I doubt it will be.

I think we can start testing the unlagged upgrade 2.01 now, even if it's not complete. The part that's missing is the what the Unlagged guy calls 'attack prediction'. It means that the client calculates and shows hit effects without waiting for the server. Effects like blood sprays and bullets holes in walls. They're not that important to delag anyway. It's a bit more complicated than in vanilla q3, because of the locational damage etc. So it might use more cpu etc. Not sure if I'll consider it worth the trouble to make this work. Think I'll need to go somewhere I can print the relevant source code files in order to see how it's supposed to fit together.
This also means that one of the most important testing features doesn't work properly, namely cg_debugDelag. But testing might work out okay anyway. Here are the testing instructions. Here's the Unlagged 2.01 README file, the interesting parts of it anyway.
All of the stuff that's mentioned at those links should work in wq3 now. Except the part I mentioned, and the features that obviously make no sense in wq3. Check out the instructions on how to simulate extra lag.
The only other thing in this patch is g_noSpread, which you can enable to make the weapons perfectly accurate. It turns the pump-action shotgun into a rail gun, because all the pellets hit the same spot.

I was wondering how can I map a pseudo domain,

*.app.dev to 10.0.0.1.
The purpose of this setup is to have virtual environment for development and not pollute my host machine with unnecessary packages and services.

The Chicago Wolves held three leads over the course of the game but the Toronto Marlies fought back each time and were eventually victorious in a shootout, 4-3, at the Allstate Arena Sunday night.
Forwards Ryan Garbutt (G, A), Andrew Kozek (G, A) and Darren Haydar (2A) each posted multiple points for Chicago (21-17-2-2), while defenseman Arturs Kulda also added a goal in regulation. Kozek and right wing Akim Aliu scored for the Wolves in the shootout, while goaltender Drew MacIntyre stopped one of four Marlies attempts.
"We've been flat in back-to-back games and it's disappointing," said Wolves Head Coach Don Lever. "To give up that many shots in our own building is unacceptable."
Chicago opened scoring three minutes into the second period. Kozek crashed into the Marlies zone and tried to stuff a shot between Toronto netminder Ben Scrivens and the post, which the netminder stopped, but Garbutt came streaking in to push home the rebound.
Toronto (19-15-0-7) answered 54 seconds later to knot the score, 1-1, when defenseman Matt Lashoff's long shot from above the left face-off circle flew past MacIntyre and into the back of the net.
The Wolves took a 2-1 lead, 6:55 into the second period with a goal from Kulda. Left wing Nigel Dawes carried the puck into the zone and dropped a pass to Kulda, who flipped a wrist shot past Scrivens from the circle.
The Marlies evened the score again, 2-2, at 16:43 of the middle frame. Left wing Jerry D'Amigo got control of the puck along the boards and moved in on MacIntyre, slipped it past him as a Wolves player tried to dive to block the shot.
Kozek put Chicago in front again, 3-2, 1:56 into the third period. Haydar held the puck behind the net and passed it out front to Garbutt, who slipped it across the top of the crease to Kozek for a quick rip past Scrivens.
Scrivens (4-1-3) turned aside 21 shots for the Marlies in regulation and overtime.
The Marlies tied it up, 3-3, with 4:48 remaining in the third period when left wing Jay Rosehill scooped up a rebound along the left post and roofed it past MacIntyre to force overtime.
MacIntyre (4-3-1) made 34 saves in regulation and overtime in his first loss in five games.
The Wolves will host their second annual "School Day Game" on Wednesday when the Texas Stars visit the Allstate Arena at 11 a.m.

I love my fireplace.
And because I'm always cold, in the winter my fireplace
would most likely look like this:
would most likely look like this:
Then the nicer season comes (about time) and I don't need to light the fire anymore.
Which I like, because means that summer is coming,
but I also dislike, because my fireplace looks empty and sad. :(
... solution: candles
(I know, nothing new)
You got that right: I used empty bottles as candle holders.
* Inexpensive
* Low maintenance
* Fast project
Best of all: have a party!
You'll have a lot of empty bottles that you don't have to worry about carrying them to the recycling :)
I needed two coats of spray paint:
* sprayed the first coat with the bottles up-side-down
* about an hour later the second coat right-side-up
* I used the color "aluminum"
* for 9 bottles I used two cans (originally 10 bottles, but broke one half way the first coat)

Music can play a transformational role in your child's education, promoting cultural literacy and key skills like creativity, critical thinking and collaboration.
Participation in and understanding of the performing arts can have wide-reaching benefits for children. Our music curriculum has been designed to nurture cultural literacy and key skills to benefit your child in music, and all their studies.
Through our music curriculum designed by The Juilliard School, every student can enjoy being an engaged listener, composer, interpreter and communicator. In addition, your child will be developing valuable skills that will pay dividends in all aspects of learning and prepare them for success in future life.
With music as a creative key, your child will develop skills like critical thinking, resilience, risk-taking or discipline, which he or she can use in their learning in every subject. Activities have been designed to allow your child to explore the works in ways that nurture and express their imagination. Students will also develop cultural literacy, broadening their understanding of cultural and social history around the world to give them a global perspective.
Our students have great fun with music whilst enriching their learning.
These are the ways the performing arts collaboration with Juilliard will enhance learning for our students.
Learning music and the performing arts is linked to high academic performance[1],[2], helping students to improve literacy[3], mathematics[4] and cognitive development.[5]
Evidence suggests that students who participate in learning the arts achieve higher grades in school, and musically-trained students demonstrate enhanced brain performance[6]. Music also helps develop various attributes – from motor skills[7] by learning to play a musical instrument, through to an appreciation of mathematics via rhythm and tempo[8].
So while some education systems focus on exam after exam, they are missing the whole picture. If they also created time for the performing arts, they would see their pupils achieve even more.
The performing arts teach young people a range of personal skills that enable them to shine in every aspect of their lives – both at school and in the world of work. In fact, they teach young people exactly the attributes required in the modern workplace - creativity[9], critical thinking, the ability to collaborate and various social skills[10].
Studying rehearsing and learning to perform teaches young people various character traits including confidence, self-esteem and discipline[11].
A lot of educators talk now about the need to build character – the performing arts do exactly that.
Learning music and the performing arts more widely exposes young people to a form of learning that is increasingly rare for young people – one to one (or one to a few) tuition. Learning at this level and in this way helps ignite sparks in young people who may not have previously engaged with academic learning, enhancing satisfaction and sense of achievement in school[12].
And once they get the love of learning, this can transfer across to all their subjects.
An appreciation and understanding of the arts makes for engaging, curious and culturally rich global citizens – which we believe is a key component of education.
Put simply, the world is a better place with music in it – it transcends cultural barriers, provides connections between people with little or nothing in common[13]. The more people who understand music and the performing arts, the more the world will connect.
Our social hub takes you into the classroom to see our performing arts collaboration with The Juilliard School in action. See how our students are preparing for the world stage – be inspired, share and follow.
Curated by Juilliard, the core music repertoire is built around 12 categories of music which explore a wide variety of genres, styles and cultures. Each category is exemplified by an iconic work and several extension works for further exploration.

Our music curriculum has been designed in collaboration with the world renowned Juilliard School and gives your child a unique opportunity to learn about music through iconic works and regular connections with practicing musicians.

CNN Pentagon Correspondent Barbara Starr
It looks like a bat, sweeping, turning. But it's actually the new super-secret Air Force stealth drone.
CNN has learned this unmanned spy plane is designed to fly for up to 24 hours behind enemy lines in countries like North Korea, Iran, and Syria.
Military sources tell CNN it will give the United States a critical stealth advantage to spy on countries that have strong air defense systems able to shoot down more conventional aircraft.
The drone, believed to be called the RQ-180, was first revealed by the magazine Aviation Week and Space Technology in a lengthy article co-authored by Amy Butler and Bill Sweetman, both long time experts in classified military stealth technology.
The program is so classified the Air Force would not confirm its existence to CNN or Aviation Week.
But several U.S. officials told CNN its capabilities are a top intelligence gathering priority– especially after a less sophisticated stealth drone went down in Iran in 2012.
The key, Butler said, is the drone's ability to fly long distance and stay aloft for 24 hours in a stealthy manner.
"This aircraft will be able to penetrate that border and conduct operations in and around an enemy airspace without being targeted," Butler told CNN.
It's so secret the drone is believed to be at a hangar at Area 51 - the Air Force's highly secure flight test center in Nevada.
The drone may be able to fly as high as 11 miles. The requirement for an asset that is stealthy, can fly at high altitude and conduct intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance is a crucial priority for the military and the intelligence community.
Plan for a new spy plan unveiled
In several countries, air defenses have improved significantly in recent years making it difficult if not impossible for U.S. assets to gather information.
The drone's ability to stay up for 24 hours will also give it a key advantage over satellites which often pass by a target intermittently and are subject to be being detected.
Butler said the shape of the drone means enemy radars can't easily see the drone as heat it throws off is shielded so radars can't pick it up.
"This aircraft is designed to evade both those thermal sensor, those radar sensors, and other sensors that look for aircraft. So it might not be invisible to radar, but you might not be able to target it and shoot it down."
Butler suggested the drone may even be able to carry sensors that can listen to cell phone calls and any "activities on enemy frequency, radar activities, that sort of thing."
Although it's not confirmed, the magazine suggested the drone could be operating as soon as 2015.
Do you even fact/sanity check your own stories? "Butler said the shape of the drone means enemy radars can't easily see the drone as heat it throws off is shielded so radars can't pick it up." Heat is not picked up by radar. Infrared sensors pick up heat.
Inside Pol Pot Secret Prison (The S-21) [HQ] Part 3/4
the NSA approves its own work.
The NSA would share/does share the US Citizens data with other Countries to have people killed US Citizens by other Countrys.
That thing has een seen for years. It was always known as the mysterious Bat Satellite. ...or where it came from. It seemed to have been an A.ien spy sat.
So! The feds have finally owned up to it, eh?
Just what right do we have to spy on other countries like this? How would any of you right-wing idiots feel if China did this to us? Not very good, I expect. Then again. we've been doing it since the 1950's with those U-2's and spy satellites of ours. We need to vote those right-wing idiots in Washington plum out of office!!!!!!!!
I agree, Mark. Why does the US have to spy on Allied countries the way it does? And, even more importantly, why does it have to spy on its own citizens? The NSA is totally out of control; and, now, this rogue agency's considering sharing citizens' private data with central banks? This is an abomination, along with sharing this data with IsraHell.
I bet the NSA is sharing data mined from European and other governments with IsraHell as well.
Good posting, Eileen. Thank you.
Sensorship is in full effect now.
It now appears that this new disease called "affluenza" is effecting a lot of people these days. Just look at all the right-wing idiots here bragging about this new stealth drone of ours! It just got a 16 year old off the hook after he got drunk and ran over four people, killing then all!!!
You nailed it good, George! Thank you.
I fully agree with both of you! Well said........
Left hand doesn't know what the right is doing.
Most believe et craft are the fronts(disinfo) for the stealth and now this when its really the opposite. SR71, Stealth and Drones etc are the masks to hide the ET crafts.
See....you still don't believe me. That's how secure the system that's in place really is. Dont even really have to classify any of it top secret. Its too ludicrous to believe.
How is it a super secret spy plane if there's an article about it on CNN? I guess it's no longer a secret now is it?
It looks a lot more like a sting ray than a bat, particularly if it is upside down.
If anyone in this country does not want to live here and be safe they can move to another country that is better with less restrictions say.....China ! If you don't support your country get the hell out.
the funny thing is 90% of countries wouldnt take just some plain old american with no special skills because NOBODY LIKES US. i wonder why? probably because we are spying on everyone and acting like we rule the world. i hope you eat your patriotism when the Obama Regime starts their Fourth Reich. oh wait, they already have.
If you're going to commit any kind of a crime Desert1, then do in Tarrant County, Texas where Judge Jean Boyd will put you on probation and send you some posh rehab center, no matter how serious the crime may be!!! You're apparently suffering from "affluenza"
If it has been say China only has it, US would be alarmed and threaten pre-emptive strikes.
This clearly showed together with NSA spying , put US about the most dangerous country in the world.
What gives US the right to fly any plane over another country?
Since you ask the questions of "what gives U.S. the right" perhaps you should pose that question to President Putin and the midget running North Korea. Since Obama took office China, North Korea and Russia have all violated our airspace and or our territorial coastal waters while gathering intelligence. Obama allowed a Russian "BOMBER" to overfly California and did nothing but kindly warn them. What gives them the right? The same thing that gives US the right. The best defense is a good offense. As for the US calling for a per-emptive strike if another country possessed a stealth drone, China already has one. You really should read something beside MSNBC once in a while.
To answer you question Peter, we have no more right to fly these cursed drones of our over any other country any more than they have a right to do the same to us. Don't blame those who disagree with us, they're currently suffering from "affluenza"!!!
As a former Navy radar specialist, this "new" drone has probably been flying over the U.S. for a couple of years already gathering up our private info for the NSA's unlawful intelligence gathering program.
I'm not sure how being a radar specialist qualifies you to comment on NSA activities. And if you had knowledge of these stealth drones flying over the US through the course of your job I'd be surprised if you weren't in breach of contract by revealing classified information, which you imply you have knowledge of and are revealing. How about you calm down and stop trying to make yourself seem more knowledgeable because you stared at a radar screen for hours on end.
Well said...
I'm sitting here shaking my head in disgust. I am ex Army and understand the reason why certain THINGS are secret. The fact that people feel the need to expose these secrets is beyond me. I blame two people... the first is the idiot who trys to uncover the secret (espionage) and the second is the other idiot who decides to publish the information. Swift and severe punishment should be handed down to those who are bent on exposing US secrets. Remember... we're not the only ones who read the new. Its a no brainer!
Zieg Heil!
Thank you, Rob. I'm with you all the way and I'm a judge to boot!!!!!!!! We reelly need to punish whoever let this secret out, really we do!
Any information you see is almost certainly old news to the target, or misinformation released on purpose.
I didn't see the picture of the plane in this article, but it was in Aviation Week. Of the very limited information revealed, none of it was accurate. it appears to have the radar cross section of a skinny mosquito, a negative thermal signature, and it's probably quieter than silence.
You can bet that if the "news" has made it to CNN, the Russians and the Chinese have already known about it for some time. This machine has probably already been in use for a while. Maybe we'll get to see video of Kim Jung Un's uncle being executed.
NEW.. in civilian terms, means it's been developed 10 years ago and operational for at least 5 by the militaary... you are so behind CNN.
IT'S "SUPER SECRET"? How hypocrital can we get? Sure not a secret anymore! WHY not just put it on display and invite our "friends & enemies" to take a look? Maybe we can post its filight plans & schedules on he web! STUPID!!
It's not "super-secret" any longer.
Meanwhile more people in the US are on food stamps.Collapse of the Us economy is imminent.
1. Stop giving people who refuse to work food stamps.
2. Collapse? What an ignorant statement.
3. Lick my stealth
it is being forced to collapse to control and enslave...with the US collapse... the whole world will collapse ..which will be reformed into one global currency by force...why else would these presidents go spending like crazy....spend it all before its worthless...they have no intention to pay back their debts...that is americas folly
"Butler said the shape of the drone means enemy radars can't easily see the drone as heat it throws off is shielded so radars can't pick it up.
"This aircraft is designed to evade both those thermal sensor, those radar sensors, and other sensors that look for aircraft. So it might not be invisible to radar, but you might not be able to target it and shoot it down.""...................... What unintelligble nonsense.
"This aircraft is designed to evade both those thermal sensor, those radar sensors, and other sensors that look for aircraft. So it might not be invisible to radar, but you might not be able to target it and shoot it down.""...................... What unintelligble nonsense."
Unintelligble(sic) nonsense= military "intelligence."
BTW dear readers: It is not at "Area 51." Trust me on this.
Seriously – those supposed quotes make no sense whatsoever.
Then why don't you tell the commenter that posted them, genius?
Didn't we just get our hands slapped regarding the whole spy issue? Question is can it see underground? That will be the only safe place for privacy....for now.
"radars can't easily see the drone as heat it throws off is shielded so radars can't pick it up"...
someone needs a little lesson in how radars work...
Imagine what our country would look like, feel like, if we had used all this money the last few decades to confront the vicious cycles of poverty and cycles of poor education.
You can't cure stupid. Not with any amount of money. Some people you could give a million dollars and they would still be poor again in a few months/years.
Those are problems that money can't solve.
And as far as education goes, it doesn't serve students well to harangue them about the importance of STEM education, then unleash them into a market with no technical jobs, because society is spending all its money on educational windmill tilts.
i agree with these other two... i would also add ..since they teach of big bang...and that we came from apes... how can anyone rely on the present day education system to make the perfect world... even the so-called "educated" are not so bright anymore... as you can tell...money wont change it...but changing the core and foundations of the education to the truth...just maybe then there would be a better chance of an intelligent world...until that happens...it will just get worse... blind leading the blind
You are right. Education based on proven facts and well-supported theories gained through centuries of scientific discovery is the problem. It would be better to go back to teaching fiction. Delusion is the way to a perfect world.
"A World Lit Only by Fire" William Manchester
How long will it be before the government turns that thing against the citizens?
20 minutes ago
I'm sure there are at least ten flying over your house at all times.
Much longer in America than it would take in NK for the government to turn on its citizens. NK is already in that condition.
They don't need those in the US. They can already spy on you with the cameras and microphones of your home computer, cable TV box, cell phone, etc, anytime they want, and they view every comment you have EVER made online, and see everything you EVER looked at online. Makes flying drones kind of unnecessary.
I'm not sure if people read much of the article but it appears to be just CNN hyping an article that was written by a magazine, yet people are treating this as CNN breaking a story.
I hope those giant boomerangs are worth it because our military budget is bloated.
its CNN ... liberal media to pursuade... not to inform.
might as well throw in some gossip too...they are alot like entertainment tonight sometimes... more celeb trash than news.
if you watch these guys closely you can see the real news is in small print hidden on the page and the shock and controversy is slapped in your face
I can't believe the size of the dump I just deposited in my neighbor's front yard.
Ha! I love how all the comments are complaining that, "If it's so secret, why is CNN reporting it?" Remember that wave of triangular/boomerang shaped UFO sightings in the late 80's and early 90's that took place all over the world? Well, look at those images and then take a good long look at the image in this article. It's surprising how many people, with all their access to information online, are still unaware that our actual technological capabilities are about 15-20 years ahead of what's being publicly trotted out.
U.S. Has to be one of the only countries to just openly release sensitive equipment and capabilities to the world. CNN should be ashamed of publishing it.
Agree....why do we tell everyone our secrets.
Please CNN, give us a good reason.
Yea cause China doesn't release images 'leaked' through official channels of their steal planes and other aircraft.. and Russia doesn't bring their new aircraft to airshows to show off their capabilities even though how its done is kept secret. ...oh wait. Yes they do.
These type of secrets are never discover by accident. They are leaked on purpose. My take is we want to scare our enemies a bit. Don't worry the real secret tech is well hidden.
Wonderful. Now can we just go back to using drones for surveillance instead of offense? The latest drone strike debacle shows ONCE AGAIN that drones shouldn't replace actual pilots in making kills.
Whats the difference? There's still a person operating the machine.
you do realize that drones have someone piloting them, right?
WOW...what a great way to sell more magazines.
Yeah, it's so secret that CNN can't wait to reveal it to the world. Then we blame the Russians or Chinese for wanting to get a piece of it. Makes perfect sense.
"CNN has learned this unmanned spy plane is designed to fly for up to 24 hours behind enemy lines in countries like North Korea, Iran, and Syria."
Russia and China are excluded? Don't you believe it.
Why should the secrecy of this super drone be diluted by revealing so much information about it?
It can also be used effectively to spy on friends and allies, of course.
why is CNN publishing super secrets stuff? isn't this worst than what Snowden did?
It's so super hush hush secret. CNN has the story for it.
This is not good, and anybody that has a mind that functions properly should understand that drones need to be put on hold , while a group of us Americans that are all in this, reviews the complete drone and spying that is being used here, and abroad.if they are left unchecked, you will be seeing that happen here. What comes around , will go around. Will see how you feel about it then.

Dr. Theodore Millon author of the Millon Inventories, leading personality theorist, and esteemed colleague and friend of Pearson, passed away on January 29, 2014 at his home in Port Jervis, New York. He was 85. Author and architect of the renowned and highly used Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) and other personality instruments, Dr. Millon's contributions measured far beyond the field of psychology. Those who knew Dr. Millon will treasure the memory of one who so eloquently taught us that the human mind is a wonderful and mysterious thing.
Having developed seven personality inventories, authored more than 30 books, and founded numerous scientific journals, Dr. Millon was awarded lifetime achievement awards from both the American Psychological Association and the American Psychological Foundation. He served as Dean and Scientific Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Personology and Psychopathology until the time of his death. Most recently, Dr. Millon worked in collaboration with Pearson to lead the development efforts for the MCMI-IV, the forthcoming revision of the MCMI-III.
Dr. Millon's impact to the field of psychology and to those with whom he worked so closely and dearly will be felt for many years to come. Together with the Institute of Advanced Studies in Personology and Psychopathology, Pearson looks forward to supporting the continuation of Dr. Millon's life work through his instruments.
A special tribute event honouring Dr. Theodore Millon's life took place during the annual convention for the Society for Personality Assessment on March 6, 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Palestrina Mosaic
On the top left is a beautiful mosaic (also shown on page 1) that was one of the wonders of the second century world. Called the Nile Mosaic of Palestrina, it depicts Nile scenes from Egypt all the way to Ethiopia.
I came across the mosaic in a book called the "Light of the Past", combing through books in an old bookstore. I had never even heard of the Nile Mosaic at Palestrina.
Since I posted it on my own old site, along with two others from the same book, I've seen it on several other sites.
My philosophy is and was that old art books might be a good place to find these types of anomalies because it appears that they have been weeded out of newer materials. It is still very difficult to find an image of the mosaic anywhere on the internet. Thanks to Genesis Park for pointing out that the warriors were likely Ethiopians rather than Egyptians as I had initially stated. Another view of the Palestrina Mosiac

Scholars now believe this is the work of Demetrius the Topographer, an artist from Alexandria who came to work in Rome. The top portion of this remarkable piece of art is generally believed to depict African animals being hunted by black-skinned warriors.
These "Ethiopians" are pursuing what appears to be some type of dinosaur. The Greek Letters embedded in the mosaic above the reptilian animal in question are: KROKODILOPARDALIS which is literally translated Crocodile-Leopard.
The picture shown here is only a small portion of the massive mosaic. It also contains clear depictions of known animals, including Egyptian crocodiles and hippos. (Finley, The Light of the Past, 1965, p. 93.) The photo on the right highlights a crocodile on the mosaic (some had suggested the dino was just a badly drawn croc).
The next image on the left is from the same book, "The Light of the Past". It shows what can only be pterosaurs flying high above.
At this time, the term dinosaur had not yet been coined. One should judge for oneself the accuracy of the pterosaur likeness.
The drawing itself is from a 17th century German tract about the dangers of witches and witchcraft. Witches are accused of causing houses to spontaneously combust. The pterosaurs depicted flying in the background, with characteristic headcrests and tails, were apparently associated with witchcraft--they were called dragons.
(Trevor-Roper, "The Persecution of Witches," 1965.) Many accounts from that time period describe creatures that sound suspiciously like pterodactyls/pterosaurs.
From my reading, pterosaurs were "common" and as you'll read in other accounts in this section were seen by quite a few people, flew in swarms.
The Rhamphorhynchoid Pterosaur Scaphognathus crassirostris: A "Living Fossil" Until the 17th Century
Here are a few excerpts from an excellent article by John Goertzen, M.S,.on a type of Pterasaur which flourished until the 17th century. The author presents conclusive evidence; through accurate historical descriptions, literature, ancient coins, seals and ancient drawings which indicate that this particular dinosaur, and others were actual living entities.
Author: John Goertzen Subject: Dinosaurs
"There is evidence that pterosaurs may have flown the skies a couple thousand years ago. There are numerous depictions precise enough to identify the pterosaur species, Scaphognathus crassirostris, from several cultures of antiquity. Since that species is the only long-tailed species with a head crest, it is readily identified. Written accounts provide additional information about the ecological niche of these animals and (for Luther and the scientists Alpin) details that are consistent with the pictorial iconography.
......... The S. is easily identified since it is the only long tailed pterosaur with a head crest. Both fossils, currently known, were found in the Solnhofen limestone in southern Germany and display a skeletal head crest. Because the S. is the only rhamphorhynchoid pterosaur with a head crest, ancient artifacts enable us to tell what the soft tissue of the head crest looked like and identify ancient S. representations with a high degree of confidence.
...The remarkable thing about this animal is that it was depicted in several cultures of antiquity. Artifacts identified with this interesting pterosaur species include Roman-Alexandrian coins, an Arabia-Philistia coin, a French wood carving, a German statue and coin, several Middle Ages picture maps, and an enlightening sketch of a mounted animal in Rome by the scientists Meier-shown here on the right.
A dragon was said to live in the wetlands near Rome in December, 1691. The animal lived in a cave and terrorized the local population. A sketch of the skeleton has survived in the possession of Ingegniero Cornelio Meyer. The most remarkable thing about the animal is the clear head crest and the dual piece of skin from the crest.
Five digits were clearly visible for each foot, of the proper length and with the first shorter and offset from the rest as is proper for the S.. The upper arm bone can be seen at the front of the wing as well as the hint of the prototagium (in front of the lighter colored upper arm of the near wing).
There is a hint of a wing claw on the far wing where it curves forward. The tail vane is not visible, however that is not a skeletal feature and the dermal layer does not appear to have been preserved there......"

Apatosaurus (sauropod)on Mesopotamian Cylinder Seal (and pterosaurs?)
The art on the left is a Mesopotamian Cylinder Seal from approximately 3300 B.C. (Moortgart, Anton, The Art of Ancient Mesopotamia, 1969, plate 292., presumably seen by the artist. The animal on the right is an artists conception from a skeleton of an Apatasaurus. There are many striking similarities between these two animals. Those legs could not be mistaken for that of any other type of animal other than one of the saurapods.
The biggest difference is at the head. One should be reminded that this particular dino went by the name brontosauras previously and wore the wrong head for 100 years. As it is, only one purported head of the Apatosaurus has been found.
Its entirely possible that the head looked more like the one on the Mesopotamian relief than the one on the right in the artists conception.
Cartilage forming the shape of the head and ears (which probably did not survive the years)no doubt is only suggested by the skeleton itself. To see a larger version of this animal depiction, Click here.
Also see the Thai version from the first century on an upcoming page. As for the musculature, in my view the trunk of the animal on the left is much more "realistic" --its drawn with more realism than is the artist rendition on the right--and again, one has to ask where the artist got the model to draw so convincingly the trunk of a saurapod?
Whatever you may think of the head, and perhaps it could be stylized or from another animal but the trunk of the body is obviously, conspicuously and unexplainably that of a sauropod.
The Acambaro, Mexico, Figurines
Another intriguing discovery was made near Acambaro in the Mexican state of Guanajuato. In 1925 Waldemar Jusrud, a Danish storekeeper, was on an inspection tour of his ranch, when he noticed a small ceramic figurine projecting from the side of a rut in the rain-washed road.
The artifact was unlike any he had ever seen, and probing further, "he began to uncover additional models of people and animals resembling those portrayed on the Ica stones, the GIANT SUARIANS of the Jurassic period of millions of years ago" . .
Julsrud eventually was able to amass 33,000 of them. "The human figures and the animals were frequently portrayed together. Some of the DINOSAUR-LIKE REPTILES appear with women in nonviolent or nonhunting situations, as though they were domestic animals or pets.
The human figures show details of dress somewhat resembling those of the ancient Middle East: laced sandals, chain mail, shields, and a variety of weapons" (Berlitz, p.195-196). Acambaro Figurines
"The Acambaro collection comprises hundreds of clay figurines that are apparently thousands of years old; however, they depict such bizarre animals and scenes that most archaeologists dismiss them as an elaborate hoax.
The collection shows humans interacting with dinosaurs and various other "monsters" such as horned men. Both Hapgood and Earl Stanley Gardner were convinced that the figurines from Acambaro were authentic ancient artifacts that indicated that men and dinosaurs had cohabited together in the recent past, and that dinosaurs had not become extinct many millions of years ago as commonly thought.
David Hatcher Childress writes a lengthy introduction concerning Acambaro, the latest testing, and other evidence of "living" dinosaurs."..From Mystery In Acambaro by Charles Hapgood.

Kershaw to open his second half on Sunday
LOS ANGELES -- Ricky Nolasco will start on Friday against the Nationals in the first game for the Dodgers coming out of the All-Star break. Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw will follow in the three-game series, then Hyun-Jin Ryu and Chris Capuano will start the first two games of a three-game Interleague series against the Blue Jays.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Sunday he wants to provide extra rest for Ryu and Kershaw. Ryu is 7-3 with a 3.09 ERA in 18 starts, but the Korean rookie is still adjusting to pitching every fifth day. Kershaw, likely to pitch in Tuesday's All-Star Game at Citi Field in New York, leads the Majors with 145 1/3 innings pitched.
"I'm trying to get Hyun-Jin a little extra time," Mattingly said. "With Kershaw pitching in the All-Star Game, I felt like that's a good way to do it. Ricky is matched up really well."
Nolasco is familiar with the Nationals, a division rival in the National League East during his days with the Marlins. He is 11-7 with a 3.66 ERA lifetime against Washington.

Well hi everybody! How are you? I sure hope better than I am, because I'm not @ my best right now. I had been doing sooo well for a couple of weeks! I was so happy, had gotten rid of the pseudomonous infection, feeling good, work was great ... so I was feeling ok about Mark going out of town for a few days to enjoy the celebration of his parents Doris and George's 60th Anniversary party! I would have loved to have gone, but there is just no way in the physical condition I'm in right now. Very high maintenance and I would have hated to have a bleeding incident in the middle of it all. Besides, it would have really tired me out too! This way, Mark could enjoy himself w/out having to worry about me. Can I just add that I really like the dress my mother-in-law Doris is wearing in the photo! She has excellent taste, her make-up and hair always immaculate - very stylish! Of course I can see how Mark will keep getting more handsome with age, since he looks so much like his dad George!
Mark was due home Monday night of last week, and I woke up @ 6:00 a.m. that morning feeling wetness on my chest. Sure enough, blood! I got up quickly to go to the bathroom and spit out several large blood clots. GROSS! Picked Mark up @ the airport that evening - glad he was able to get home, as his take off flight was delayed a couple of hours due to thunderstorms in the area! Since I don't cook, I had been dying for Mark to get home so I could have some delicious meals again - wouldn't you know it though - soon as we were about to have dinner Tues. night I had a bleed. Called out to Mark to come help, so his dinner had to wait. Of course there was no way I could eat either! Got it stopped finally after packing my mouth with gauze for a while and both of us fell asleep in front of the tv. Woke up about 1:45 a.m. and told Mark I was going to remove the packing in my mouth. It was ok - but of course I had to pull @ the blood clots (gag!) toward the back of the left side of my mouth and the blood just started shooting out again! It was lasting a while and I was going through lots of gauze and running out, so I knew I'd better get to the emergency room! By this time it's almost 3:00 a.m. Luckily we live a few blocks from the hospital - so I grabbed a plastic bucket, some paper towels and headed out! Mark waited w/me in ER a couple of hours then decided to go home and rest. It wasn't until about 7:30 a.m. that I was finally admitted and put in a room, and my sister Celia showed up right then and stayed w/me most of the day! Mom came by as well - and Mark brought me a few things I needed later. I needed 3 units of blood to get my level up, so I stayed overnight. I always miss my kiddos so much and Mark had just gotten home too! Darn it!
Course I was on a liquid diet, then soft diet. I'm still starving from Mark being out of town and then this happens! Course I'm afraid to eat and cause any more bleeding! My "meals" were juice and cream of wheat. Was released the next day - Mom picked me up and took me to get a decent meal @ Town and Country restaurant. Didn't eat much and she drove me home, knowing Mark would be home in about an hour from work! I was so happy to see my kiddos Hanz and Bella!
Went to work the next day - can't just stay home alone in case I had another bleed, and @ least going to work keeps my mind occupied and am surrounded by people than can help if I have any problems!
Took the kids to Petco and Petsmart Saturday, but that tired me out, so we came home after that. I had wanted to take them to a local Halloween event for pets, but there was just no way I could be out any more.
I feel so lost - I don't even know who I am sometimes. I can't just live in fear of another bleed, but how can I not after the terrible experience I just had?! It always takes a few days after having a bleed to feel I can relax a bit. So far, I haven't gotten there yet. I've been experiencing anxiety, hard time sleeping and afraid to eat anything but very soft food! I often wonder how much more I can take of this! If it weren't for the phenomenal group of people that surround me, I could not make it! My husband is incredible, I have the 2 cutest dogs in the world that love me, my family is awesome and always there for me and I have the best friends ever that pray for me and accept me as I am! My co-workers are always looking out for my best interest, telling me to take it easy, opening doors, offering a chair for me to sit and get comfortable ... I feel very blessed in that regard! I can't deny though that when I have a bleed, it totally messes with my head and I feel like this nightmare will never end! The only thing keeping me sane, is knowing that 2 fellow avm-ers (I know I've mentioned this before) have completed their procedures. I just want to be a woman in love, enjoying her husband and enjoying Mark-a-ritas and eating anything I want! For the most part, as long as I'm not bleeding or in pain - I can deal with my avm issues - it's having a bleed that throws me off! Mom wants me to keep going to church, but in order to "function" I need to take a pain killer and a steroid to get going. Well, the pain killer makes me drowsy, so last Sunday, Mark had to nudge me like 4 times during Mass because I started snoring!
I got a nice surprise from one of my "besties" like Amy Farrah Fowler says on Big Bang Theory! My bud Felice that lives in Dallas sent me a book in the mail (More letters from Pemberly) that I can take w/me to read in CO! Plus, she even included a gift card for Petsmart for our kiddos Hanz and Bella! WOW! I have such sweet friends that always think of me and keep me in their prayers and surprise me with things to get my mind off this horrible avm!
I'd better get packing - our flight leaves in 8 hours, which means I have to leave the house @ 4 a.m. and have Mark take me where Celia will pick me up and we'll head out to the airport so we can get there by 5:00 a.m!
I'll try and put in some photos later! Thanks always for all your love and support!!!!
Latest fun - yeah right!

Late Sept. Embo
Saturday, October 6, 2012
Hi Everyone! We're home again! Sorry it's taken me a bit to write, but I needed to get my bearings after the trip, dealt w/a little bleeding and wanted to spend time w/Hanzarella before I sit a while @ the computer! Mark and I had a pretty uneventful trip - started with Mom showing up an hour early to take us to the airport!
Luckily the flight from Corpus to Houston is short, because the old guy in front of me leaned his seat back - we barely have room as it is! Guess he was all comfy cozy, so he ordered a beer! It's barely 10 am sir!
There were two lovely ladies to my right named Diane and Ruth on the stretch between Houston/CO! They are sisters and their husbands were horseback riding on a dude ranch in CO! I had to say, "like in City Slickers"? I believe Diane said something about thier husbands were sending a limo for them to the hotel to take them out to the ranch - cool! We "talked dog" since Ruth's daughter has a couple Jack Russells! They asked about my Nook and they really helped make my flight more enjoyable. Usually that last hour on the plane has me figety with anxiety and claustrophobia!
Went to dinner @ Mimi's Cafe in the Lone Tree area and then to a petstore to enjoy some pups! Finally headed to Swedish where Mark dropped me off in the lobby w/all our luggage as he parked the car. Right away I see one of my favorite nurses wheeling out a patient. Rick Smith is the best post op nurse I've ever had - he thought I was on my way out, but I assured him we had just arrived! Checked in @ the 7th floor nurses station to be greeted by lots of friendly faces, smiles and hugs! Jill (my Twilight buddy) was there, Dave Labadie (original dream team from first embolization) and Alex, one of the new techs (a/k/a Taylor Lautner)! During my stay I enjoyed being taken care of by more of my faves, Judi, Laura and Burgess! Didn't get to sleep until 4:30 a.m., but I would be the last one going in to OR the next day, so no problem!
Lately, since I have been checking in the day before the embolization, I was under the impression that I no longer went to post op. Wrong! Apparently, I just wasn't waking up until I was in my room - except for this time. I woke up and guess I was feeling like I wasn't getting enough oxygen, so my instinct was to sit up from the flat position I was laying in so I could breathe better! Well, more often than not, Dr. Yakes does an arteriogram and that means a groin stick and I have to lay flat several hours afterwards otherwise I'll bleed all over the place from that stick! Course as I'm coming out of the anesthesia and all, so I'm just going with my instinct - but I remember the anesthesiologist Wendy and another nurse trying to tackle me back down to a flat position! I started praying Hail Mary's to calm myself down and knew I needed to relax as hard as that was! Aaak!
So happy to get home to our babies! Our neighbor Shauna takes really great care of them while we are in CO! Rested all day Sunday and back to work on Monday! Mark had called that he would be working late, so I was home alone when I had a bleed that afternoon - darn! Ugh! That was bound to happen.
Got some very discouraging news from fellow AVM-er Shalon on Facebook! I don't know the detaiils right now, but I do know that she has already been given the "we are done" twice, and had to have a little more embolization after a 6 month MRI follow up - but she just expereinced a massive bleed! Oh no! I was hoping the closer we got toward the end of the treatments, the lesser chance of bleeding! Apparently it's just not going to completely stop bleeding untill the avm is entirely shut down! :( Well, on the bright side - my pseudomonous infection IS done and I'll be back in CO with Celia @ the end of the month!
Thank you everyone for keeping up with us! Enough drama! Talk to you soon!
Mark, Cyndi, Hanz and Bella!
I always hear people saying they can't leave a comment on my blog: you can always write to me @ email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com I would love hearing from anyone that has any questions about anything I'm going through - thanks! Have a blessed day!

Nina your inspired card is stunning, I love the beautiful coloring of your image and CAS feel of your card. It perfectly matches the look of the photo.
I am so pleased you were able to find some me time to create your beautiful canvas. I have been following some of Christy's work now for some time and have fallen in love with some of her background stamps and She Art Papers. I am off to do a She Art Inspired Class later this month. I love your choice of quote, because happiness really is a choice we can all make, and your beautiful canvas is a wonderful reminder of this.
