3D is a realm of duality, and 4D is the last density that has duality available to it. This means that 5D+ do not have negativity in them by way of physics. However, even in 3D/4D duality, Earth was made as a place of pure free will where no matter what it is, you could experience it. Earth is a very unique place and that uniqueness was one of the reasons the dark ones enslaved humanity and made it so humanity here would turn against each other instead of living in harmony like the days of old. Many of us here are older than humanity on Earth or have at least lived on a 5D world for a time. Where I come from in the Arcturian star system (Yes Arcturus is our star just like the Sun is to Earth and we live on a world orbiting it if we're in 5D.) we value the oldest souls for their knowledge and us older souls carry great responsibility to help the younger souls to develop spiritually so they can grow to where we are and beyond. Our people live in 5D, 6D, 7D, 8D, and 9D, so not all of us are on our 5D planets. Some of us, like myself, are from 6D and we hop from world to world through focused consciousness and help the people wherever we go. So, there are many MANY places who are not controlled by negativity in any regard. The dark ones' planets and the ones they enslave are a VERY rare thing. Keep in mind that love is the core element of everything in existence, so to be as degenerated as the dark ones, is a very hard thing to do. Its like pudding with mold on it. The pudding is still there, but over time its molecular structure changes more and more and bacteria grows there as well. So, yes its still pudding, but its been tainted so much that it eventually will not look, taste, smell, feel, or sound like pudding anymore. This is the same as with the negative and positive vibrations. Fear and darkness is just a corrupted version of love, but keep in mind that like the pudding example that gives itself to aid in new life, negativity can help you to grow spiritually as well.

Here is a list of questions someone asked and I wrote my responses below them. 1. Do mind and five senses exist in higher dimensions? Yes they do, but there are more than the 7 we have now, I'd imagine. It depends on what you call a sense and what you include as part of the 6th and 7th senses. 2. What relationship do we have with our spirit in higher dimensions? We are spirit, not our bodies. In the higher densities we are aware of this and we operate as ourselves, not feeling like we are our shells. 3. If the earth ascension happens do all people will ascend(what about the ones who happen to be in the cosmos(astronaut))? Everyone born on Earth is ethrically tethered to the Earth, so just like a person who is in an air plane or who's jumping will ascend with Earth, astronauts will be too if they are of high enough love energy. 4. What about the people who have dedicated their 40 years of their life for opening their channels and anja, do their dedication wasted when the ascension happens? I'm not sure what an "anja" is, but channels are just energy routes. You don't need to spend years and years opening them. You might wind up spending that long to clear the negativity from them, but purging negativity is what allows you to ascend from the duality of 3D. 5. You think 3D people can't exists in 5D? But in 3D can exist 2D and 1D lifeforms and even 4D, 5D and higher? Each density is a different density, so no just like someone who is in 3D can't sit on a cloud because the cloud is less dense, a 3D person isn't in 5D as 5D is less dense. The lower the density, the more dense you are. The higher the density, the less dense you are. So, yes 2D (plants) and 1D (mineral) are visible from 3D (Human/animal) yet they communicate through spirit with 3D beings, just as we do with 5D+ beings and even people in the realm of spirit. (4D) We are in 4D, but our shells are in 3D, so with our external eyes we see 3D, 2D, and 1D. Sometimes we can even see 4D. Many of us are now able to see 5D orbs because we are now so close to the jump to 5D. I see them and one lady even used her camera to record some and play with them. Your molecules space out more and more as you ascend. 6. So why not in 5D can exist all other dimensions like in 3D, what makes 5D so special? 5D can see 4D and lower, yes. Its a higher density, so yes you can see them. 5D cannot see 6D+ and 6D can see everything more dense, but not 7D+, etc. As you become less dense, your physics change. Just like water when it evaporates can create a cloud that hangs in the air instead of being a puddle, in 5D you can shapeshift. In 6D you can teleport (maybe even 5D) and in 5D you can make things instantly appear in front of you. Want a pizza? Make one appear in front of you. Oh, and the "D" stands for density, not dimension. Dimensions are height/depth/width, but density is a sliding scale from non-moving molecules right up against each other, to super fast moving molecules infinitely spaced out. Its a vector gradient. 7. Everything is the same, but the game rules will change in 5D? I'm not sure what you mean by that. The physics will change and everything will be balanced again and in harmony when we ascend, if that's what you mean. 56. Will there be mass disappearing of people starting to occur because of 3D senses don't see 5D and what happen with animals and plants(they are lifeforms of their own too, like us)? I'm not 100% sure on how the photon belt will make us ascend aside from the fact that it makes us less dense. We might enter the core of the photon belt all at once and the ones who are ready to ascend will ascend, but the ones who aren't will either ascend, but then shortly leave through death if they can't handle the new frequency or they will transition through death during the shift so they can design a new life in 3D. Even people who didn't intend to ascend came here because this will enhance their ability to ascend sooner on other words with the lessons being so abundant here. The plants and animals will ascend too if they are ready. Keep in mind that the animals are out of balance too. For instance, wolves will kill other animals as will lions. Bears will attack humans out of fear if their young are nearby. Those are just some things seen in nature. However, the animals who have stopped living in fear or aren't doing what they do out of spite, but act out of love as best as they know how, will ascend. Keep in mind that love is expressed in many ways. An animal who hunts other animals for food and doesn't know anything other than to do that, might not realize that they shouldn't be killing another animal. At the very least they should ask for an animal to sacrifice its self if they so choose. So, yes. Animals have their own things to overcome, so if they are ready to ascend, they will. There are many loving animals out there and even whole races who are primarily of love or fully of love. (Ex. dolphins) Plants have a wide spectrum of densities they appear in. There are plants in all densities I think. I've never lived on a planet without them and they are a vital part of living. So the plants on Earth might ascend to 3D or they might join us in 5D with the other plants who are there. I'm not sure on the specifics of that one.
Keywords: ascension, 1d, 2d, 3d, 4d, 5d, density, dimension, plants, animals
What are these orbs you talk about? Can u describe them for me please?
Here's a nice channeling on some changes that are going on in the human body right now.
We are becoming a NEW species of Earth ~ creatures of our OWN Awareness! Every Soul has a "story" … what's yours? How have we incorporated our souls into our Humanness? Pondering thoughts I am watching many that are in the limelight ~ totally combust … people we have followed, envied, enjoyed … whatever their affiliation to what we saw them as ~ dependent on your vibration ~ your observation ~ ~ ~ you are witnessing the unraveling of many. You are watching, publicly, many "dark nights of the soul" Perhaps in your own sacred spaces you are feeling pangs of implosions, even explosions ~ this is coming in our physicality, as well as our mentality ~ thoughts are wavering and if you step outside of that vibration that you have now reached, You are feeling every bit of that discombobulation ~ many probably are even questioning their sanity, their life! Enough already ~ "I don't want to play anymore"! In those moments of disarray ~ of panic stricken moments ~ it is not only important to realize that You are the MOST Empowered BEing you have EVER been … more importantly, in this moment … CLAIM YOUR POWER!! You ALWAYS have the wherewithal to create your reality in ANY GIVEN MOMENT … if you are AWARE of your vibration ~ from encounters with others to the Body Temple flare-ups and YES we have had many of those of late … WHY? Our Body Temples are changing more rapidly than before due to the magnification of the energies flowing into and upon Earth Mother ~ you are like a "conductor" ~ the energy must travel through You and it is UP TO YOU HOW YOU RADIATE that frequency ~ hence, all the dishevelment happening right now … TRUTH is prevailing ~ no longer can we live a "lie" of just piddling or dabbling with our vibration ~ the time is NOW to USE every nth of your energies to CREATE CHANGE FOR NEW EARTH!! This is what you are HERE TO DO ~ if you are still carryi'~~~ng grudges, pointing out inconsistencies in other people's lives ~ not affecting what you came to do ~ then you are not using your vibration to the highest good! You know exactly what this means It is enough to move through these frequencies with grace ~ top that with the influx of everything being revealed and crumbling around us … our Body Temples are changing in warp speeds ~ healing our Temples have become practically instantaneous ~ what used to take weeks to heal is now healing within days ~ and every pain or ache is VERY pronouncedly more painful … albeit, much more short lived! When we learn to accept our Body Temples as the extension of LIGHT that they are becoming ~ realizing we have the ultimate power by directly affecting the area that is in need of healing by connecting to it … by talking to it … by embracing it with LOVE! LOVE IS THE CONSUMMATE HEALING MODALITY! When we stay within our sacred space we see with our Soul Eyes ~ we SEE what is happening and what GOOD is being created … as we observe ~ from wherever you sit and see ~ YOU KNOW what is happening. As each of us traveled those trails of tattered tales ~ each of us ~ became AWARE and we AWAKENED to our SourceSpirit within US ~ we were enabled to SEE with a HIGHER vibration that all ANSWERS lie WITHIN US … WITHIN OUR SOULS … that nothing out there can affect us … UNLESS WE ALLOW IT!! This is so important for our daily tasks … if we allow the words, the escapades of others to impede upon our space … then we are not living within our OWN HIGHER Empowerments… we are not using our Soul Thoughts to Create our Realities ~ we are letting someone else's journey create our feelings This is YOUR JOURNEY and ONLY YOU can Travel this path!!! It will only become more and more intense ~ the energies are magnifying daily … if not hourly in what we know as "time" ~ it is time to USE YOUR LIGHT in EVERY SINGLE MOMENT of EVERY DAY!! As these magnifications become more and more intensified ~ one of the biggest complaints physically, is headaches (migraines) ~ try using ~ ~ ~ high ph water ~ cold or cool compresses ~ deep breathing exercises ~ soft music (my preference is Native American Flutes) ~ connection to the pain ~ visualizing. I have had my fair share of these headaches and asked "why" these were happening and received a few answers ~ always first is INTEGRATION ~ and then EXPANSION … our brains are expanding ~ and CALIBRATION ~ remembering ALL parts of our Body Temple are "controlled" from our brains. Skin anomalies ~ breakouts * rashes * hives * itchiness * (remember you are becoming younger) as your DNA changes, your Body Temple is undergoing massive change ~ and many are probably noticing MANY GOOD CHANGES ~ remember to Honour your Temple ~ Nurture You as often as you can! Use Natural products on the Body Temple as often as possible! Baking soda serves well as a drying agent for skin outbreaks ~ which also is indicative of "outbursts" that are not within keeping of our vibrational value! Diets … eating is probably becoming less and less ~ and many are "moving" their Bodies more ~ walking * exercising * swimming * ~ ~ ~ ~ as your metabolism raises you feel the need to move more ~ eating less albeit, eating more healthy foods … there is less and less eating out … more preparation of one's own foods (you know what is in it) ~ The Body Temple does not tolerate the chemicals of GMO foods or fast foods very well ~ and one can really feel this when their digestive system "talks back"! Smoothies are most excellent for meals and or quick pick me ups ~ Juicing is excellent! We just discovered ~ fresh fruit slushies ~ old fashioned snow cones with natural fruits and juices ~ LISTEN to your Body! Talk to yourself ~ hold regular conversation ~ YOU are YOUR BFF ~ always have been and always will be!! Streamlining your Soul means You ARE in charge of this sacred space known as YOU ~ You are as DIVINE as the one that stands next to You ~ and the realization of your Awareness ~ Your innate Wisdom … there is NO need to become angry, judgmental ~ from a Soul's stance ~ Every Soul has a Story and is living that story ~ when it is time for that Soul to Awaken to the higher SourceSelf within ~ it will be according to their own Soul contract. Silence is golden ~ Silence is Sacred … Silence does not separate Blessed be each of us that have Awakened to these moments of NOW Presence ~ Blessings be to each Heart that beats within this earthly realm ~ each Soul serves a purpose ~ each Soul Sacred ~ we are ALL Children of Great Spirit ~ Earth Mother ~ the Universe Source: http://lightworkers.org/channeling/158817/soul-stream

There are 3 waves of people who incarnated on surface Earth. Here's a great explanation of the waves. I'm part of the 1st wave, but it says that we like the pain. I SERIOUSLY can't stand it! Why the fish would I want to be in this much pain? Challenge, my arse... lol I'm now starting my lessons impatience so that should lighten the pain a bit, but being stuck instead of free is DEFINITELY not my thing.
The First Wave Those in the first wave have been actively travelling the Ascension pathway since the early 1980's, if not before. They are, if you like, the people who birthed the new age movement whether they participated in group activities or went quietly about their own business. These people are primarily of the angelic realms and their task has been to move the light through the darkness that has engulfed this planet and to transmute the density so that the light could be seen by everyone else. This task was far from easy. It meant having to plunge into that darkness and live in it for around twelve years during the 80's to mid-90's whilst this transmutation took place. What made it a particularly grim journey for many, was that very few had any conscious understanding of the task they were performing and therefore, were quite unable to explain, even to themselves, why they felt the need to completely change their lifestyles in such a full-on way. During this time, they were involved in doing some extremely heavy internal processing, for not only were these first wavers working with their own shadow, but also cleansing the planet and everyone else who was resident at that time. Another thing these people have in common is their overt spirituality. In fact, anyone who is not of this group often think these people are a bit loopy. Some of these first wavers tried to gather in communes to work the earth and live in peace and unity....which didn't work. Many became hooked on personal development workshops and seminars, whether as participants, volunteers or teachers and are still to be found hanging around in meditation circles burning lots of incense and listening to ambient music. In whichever way they express themselves, members of the first wave are completely addicted to Spirit. They want everyone out there to get the message and join in, so their missionary drive is pretty high. They give of themselves willingly and truly desire to be of service but constantly vacillate between giving everything without thought of self to withdrawing with dark thoughts of intolerance and impatience when others stubbornly refuse to grasp what they are on about. Being an Angel locked in a human body can be very frustrating! Although the Angel quotient in this section is by far the largest, it is not their exclusive domain. There are also some members who are from galaxies far and near who have volunteered to help get the spiritual shift going and it is likely that they have incarnated here for the first time, unlike their Angel colleagues who have been serving here since the beginning of time. It is the angelic members who primarily took on the role of facing the darkness, whilst their inter-galactic colleagues were mainly involved in whipping up books and seminars with missionary zeal. Out of the three groups, this first wave is the smallest in number. Way showers and pioneers always have it tough, and actually like it that way. Challenge just spurs them on. But without their willingness to go it alone and bear the brunt of other people's derision, there would be no Ascension movement at all, and we would now be actively facing a dying world rather than one which is being reborn. So loopy or not, we owe them a debt of respect. Within the first wave are many different levels of consciousness in operation but in one way or another they are all leaders, with the task of having to master 'walking their talk'. If people are going to follow, leaders must demonstrate that they are worthy of being followed. Therefore, these first wavers need to recognize that not everyone is required to, nor wants to, hang around in meditation groups in order to get spiritual. This group are currently being challenged to step away from their enclaves and demonstrate their spiritual connection in wider and more pragmatic ways. This group houses the visionaries; those people who can see what is required to be done and are able to inspire others to take up the challenge and create the necessary action. The Second Wave This is the group where the Starseeds predominate, although the angelic realms also have representatives here. As the name Starseed implies, these people are originally from star systems within this galaxy or from galaxies far, far away. A large contingent within this group are experiencing incarnation in a human body for the first time, although some have been here as many as three or four times. This group do not go into the emotional dramas that seem to constantly afflict the first wavers. They have their feet more firmly placed on the ground, and are focused on specific areas of responsibility, often from a very young age. They seem to know instinctively what they are here to do, even if their full consciousness is not awakened. Many have been drawn into the seminars and workshops run by the first wavers and this has got them moving steadily forward. However, for the most part, they find the overt spirituality that the first wavers demonstrate, a bit of a turn off or an embarrassment. It is not that they are not interested in Spirit, but rather that they don't see anything to get particularly excited about and are not especially attracted to the emotional, ethereal idealism which drives those members of the first wave. Whilst it has been the task of the first wave to go to war with the dark forces, the second wave have been left alone to get on with life in a more pragmatic way. They are much more interested in cleaning up the planet and the people on it than in sitting around deeply engrossed with their own spiritual development. They are lovers of technology and/or of community involvement of one sort or another. They believe that Spirit is best shown through positive action and they want to be out there 'doing' stuff. This 'doing' stuff is rather misunderstood by the first wavers who, having participated in all that doing during their past forty thousand lifetimes, are now much more interested in finding the peace which comes from 'being'. They are not interested in whipping up enthusiasm for zero point technology, or finding new methods for pollution control, nor particularly focused on repair and restitution of the planet, or our societies, in the same way as those of the second wave. The second wave have come here to work and to get things done. This is their purpose, for their role is to step in and bring the Earth mother back into wholeness and to help bring humanity back to living responsibly. They do not need to espouse 'new age spiritual ideals' to do this, but simply to work in harmony, balance and joy in all that they do. The first wave may be out there pioneering the Ascension movement but it is the second wave who will be bringing the new age into physical being. These second wavers are here for the long-term for there is a great deal of work for them to do, and as the first wave gradually disappear through the ascension doorways back into the higher realms, so the second wave will take over the leadership positions. The Third Wave This is the group that is just beginning to wake up to the fact that something big is going on. They are, by far, the largest group currently on the planet and are predominantly made up of real human beings, the true owners of these bodies. However, there are also members of the Star colonies included in this third wave as indeed there are also angelic helpers. The human component herein are known as the Lightworkers and are the ones that the first wavers spend their time worrying about. The reason for this is that the first wave have been awake and leading the Ascension movement for a long time now, and are feeling tired and exasperated that so many people still deny that there is anything to get excited about. But what the first wavers need to realize is that this Ascension movement was always designed to get rolling in waves. To begin with it needed them to lead others to the right door so that order could be created from chaos. Once all the plans for doing this were in place, then the time would be right to show these Lightworkers what the new way of living would be all about.

To awaken spiritually means to have a shift in consciousness in the sense that you start thinking more of your spiritual well-being and seek to be more spiritual. So, if you're on ANY spiritual path (Not religious, but spiritual, as spiritual means you think for yourself and religion is where you're told what to believe) to be more enlightened, then you have awakened and started your journey of spiritual enlightenment. Many people may not understand this, so I wanted to make sure that you know what it means to be awakened. Another description I gave: An awakening to me is where you find your life's lesson has been learned and you feel like your life has had a major turn for the better. Its a life altering event. I went through my life altering event when I awakened. Some people might not have a life altering event that makes they start to understand, but rather they have a major spiritual awakening. (I know I used the word in the definition, so I'll elaborate, but when I wrote it, that's what flowed.) You could find that everything starts to click together when you awaken. It doesn't matter what you find that clicks for you and gives you that knowing and it could be completely different than what I know, but it's the aspect of knowing from your heart. That is true awakening.

35 Mercury Cougar's For Sale
About Cougar
Over eight generations, a car with the name Mercury Cougar was produced in the years 1967 to 2002. As was common with Ford's Mercury division, the Cougar made use of the platform of existing Ford models. In its first generation it was the Ford Mustang, then the Ford Thunderbird, and lastly the Contour/Mondeo.
Not only did the 1967 Mercury Cougar share parts with the Ford Mustang, but the name Cougar was one of the leading contenders in the campaign to find a name for the Mustang. Given that it shared some DNA with the Mustang, the first generation Cougar was a pony car. Available only as a 2-door hardtop coupe initially, with a 2-door convertible arriving as an option between 1969 and 1974.
Buyers had the choice of the base model Cougar, or the XR-7 Cougar. Engine options were the 289 cubic inch (4.7 L) Windsor V8, 390 cubic inch (6.4 L) FE V8, 302 cu in (4.9 L) Windsor V8, 351 cubic inch (5.8 L) Windsor V8, 428 cubic inch (7.0 L) FE V8, and 427 cubic inch (7.0 L) FE V8. If purchased with the GT option, and its 390 cubic inch (6.4 L) FE-series big block, the Cougar moved from pony car to muscle car.
In 1974 the Cougar switched to the platform used on the Mercury Montego / Ford Torino, adding 114 inches to the wheelbase, and marketed as a personal luxury car. A sedan and station wagon was added to the Cougar line-up in 1977, and, along with some re-styling, the car was now positioned as an intermediate personal-luxury car. Engine choices in this period were the 302 cubic inch (4.9 L) V8, 351 cubic inch (5.8 L) V8, and the 400 cubic inch (6.6 L) V8.
By 1980 the Mercury Cougar was in its 5th generation, and now shared the platform of the Ford Zephyr, and had a shift down to a 108-inch wheelbase. For its 6th generation, the Cougar moved to the platform used by the Ford Thunderbird, and was one of the first GM cars to sport the company's new "aero-look" design.
In 1990 the Cougar became a sport compact, based on the Ford Contour. The body design was part of Ford's "New Edge" look, and in the range for the first time was a hatchback. Engine choices were the 2.0 L Zetec I4 and the 2.5 L Duratec V6.
With Ford's announcement of a restructure in 2002, the Mercury Cougar was dropped from the range.
Though it shares DNA with the Mustang, the Mercury Cougar doesn't attract the high value of its more illustrious relative. That said, the market for early Cougars is competitive, and growing in price, particularly for the late 60s Cougar convertibles, Boss 302 Eliminators, 428CJ Cougar, and restored 427 GTEs.

Pros: You can program this remote with the use of a PC with an internet connection. The remote can learn commands from the remotes that you already have, even when this will be unlikely necessary.
Cons: You need to expend some time to customize the programing of the remote to your own needs.

Summary: I bought this remote after buying a Blu-ray player, as now I have five components (TV set , Satellite box, A/V Receiver, DVD and Blu-ray). It was hard to convince my wife to expend $150 to buy something that does the same thing as the original remotes, but in one unit. After programing the remote to do six different things (watch Sat, DVD or Blu-ray only and watch Sat, DVD, or Blu-ray plus A/V Receiver) even my wife agreed that this is an excellent device, very easy to use and worth the money. I don't think that it has a chip feel to it, and in fact prefer the design and feel compared to the Harmony One (as I compared them at the store).

Pros: Programming the remote via computer from device model numbers, learned buttons automatically update the centralized website database. Remote lasts about a month between charging. Being able to assign macros and control room lighting.
Cons: Can be troublesome if your devices do not have a button dedicated to a specific input. If the remote needs to cycle through your device inputs, it could be hit or miss if it lands on the right one when turning on the TV or Receiver.
Summary: Overall this is by far the best universal remote I ever owned. Programming was simple, just look up the model numbers of the items I wanted to control and it ...
Summary: Overall this is by far the best universal remote I ever owned. Programming was simple, just look up the model numbers of the items I wanted to control and it automatically downloads the buttons into the remote after downloading the software and registering the remote at the Harmony website. You get 90 days of free technical phone support from the time you register. I love the color screen and the ability to program up to 23 favorite channels and even download their logos right into the remote. Harmony has a website for it and you can even use logos meant for the other remotes in their series.
The remote lights up when you move it or shake it and all of the buttons light up except the ones above the computer screen (activity buttons), very easy to use in the dark. You can even control the light duration and turn off the motion feature. The batteries seem to last a month between charges, and it only needs to be charged for 3 to 4 hours.
I spent a lot of time tweaking the remote during the first week I had it. Afterwards, I only had to update it when coming across buttons I forgot to add or reorganize the existing buttons to make it more efficient when different situations came up. I just had to modify my existing settings on their website and download it again into the remote, takes about 5 minutes each time. The remote can also control my lighting, and other items such as appliances.
The color screen is clear and easy to read. It contains 4 quadrants with 2 buttons on each side controlling the items that are not listed as stand alone buttons. You can even duplicate the other stand alone buttons on the remote and organize what button shows up in each quadrant and page if several of them exist. The 3 buttons at the bottom of the screen allow you to page over to additional screens if needed, the middle button allows you to select between Devices and Activities. Devices are the modes like any other standard remote. If in DVD mode, the remote only controls DVD functions, if TV is selected, it only controls the TV functions. The Activities option is a mode where you can blend different devices together for a certain purpose. When I select Watch DVD...my TV turns on, flips to HDMI1, Receiver turns on, flips to HDMI2, Blu-ray player turns on, tray opens, overhead lights either turn on or turn off after several seconds, channel up and down become Chapter Up and Down on the Blu-ray player, Volume Up and Down control the receiver volume, all with the press of the Watch DVD activities button. To switch to different activities, you need to hit the All Power Off button, and everything turns off, then press the next activity button and those devices will turn on and the remote will be configured to work in that mode. It sounds complicated, but the software allows you to set this up fairly easily, and tweaking it is simple after you get use to the process.
If you had someone set up your system for you, make sure they are the ones programming the remote because you'll need to know what inputs are used in each device and how each of them were wired. An example would be TV is connected to the Reciever's HDMI 1 port and the TV's audio out is connected to the Reciever via its TV In Input, VCR works on Channel 3 on the TV, etc.
If there is a button missing after downloading everything, you can have the remote learn the missing button from the original remote. The neat thing is that the learned button also goes back to the Harmony website and if anyone else has that same device in the future, your button will be available for them when they do their download. I thought that was very interesting. Overall a very good remote and a definite improvement from the older ones I use to use.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.
This remote operates everything and the price is right.
by ariauna2k on May 7, 2010
Pros: I like it's sleek design, it is easy to hold and fits comfortably in my hand. The display screen is the perfect size, not too big and not too small.
Cons: There is nothing I don't like about this remote.
Summary: It operates my DVR easily with extra DVR buttons while operating my televisions, surround sound receiver, PS3 (Use as my BluRay player), the Xbox and Wii. Activity buttons let me ...
Summary: It operates my DVR easily with extra DVR buttons while operating my televisions, surround sound receiver, PS3 (Use as my BluRay player), the Xbox and Wii. Activity buttons let me push 1 button to watch tv, xbox, or a movie, it turns it all on for me, even the input. The screen allows me to easily find each individual device when I need to. I also am able to program an "All Off, All On" function which shuts everything down or turns everything on at the touch of one button.

Great remote that could use a few software tweaks
by RobCreely on April 11, 2010
Pros: * Software relatively easy to use and found all my devices
* Can even program my ceiling fan controls!
* Comfortable in your hand
* Button layout is thoughtful
* Can customize almost every button
* LED screen is flexible
* Eliminates remotes!Cons: * Activity presets have some baked in settings you can't customize
* No out of the box PS3 support (although I blame Sony, not Logitech)
* No RF support
* Only supports 6 devices
* No charging station (just USB to wall cable)Summary: My first foray into specialized customizable remotes. I am real happy as this things does what it is supposed to do. RF would have been nice, but it isn't ...
Summary: My first foray into specialized customizable remotes. I am real happy as this things does what it is supposed to do. RF would have been nice, but it isn't a deal breaker. The feel in your hand is nice and it comes with 2 rechargeable batteries. Responsiveness is nice and sometimes even feel better then the original remote.
Preset "Activities" are a mixed blessing that do basically what they are supposed to do and allow you to mix controls on your remote (like having the volume buttons operate your receiver while the channel buttons operate the cable box). Although, the "Watch Movie" preset activity forces my Xbox 360 to be my DVD player by default and the software won't allow you to remove or change it. I have also found the software to be to inclined to make you want to change your TV inputs when you change an Activity, even though all my inputs change at my receiver. An option that states "input change unnecessary" would have been nice. Some of these things can be done via a workaround, but it would have been nice if they were easier to find in the main Activity menus during setup.
The only device this didn't cover was my PlayStation 3 (which I use for a Blu Ray player). The reason is Sony stupidly chose to use Bluetooth for the PS3 remote interface and this Logitech remote does not do Bluetooth. You will need to buy an extra device to allow for PS3 control. The software will map PS3 buttons, though.
Only major negatives I can find were some of the baked in Activities features and non intuitive setup options as well as the non support for PS3 Bluetooth control.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.
setup is slow, tedious and not accurate.
by zh001d on July 28, 2012
Pros: consolidate all remotes
Cons: I find myself needing to hit the help button constantly. the activity setups are not accurate.
Don't know if it works, can't get through set-up.
by gbraniff on July 8, 2012
Pros: None - won't set up.
Cons: Can't set up. Can't get it to work and no help readily available.
Summary: Logitech needs soem serious upgrading of their customer service.

Worst Harmony yet
by stevesmiller on July 20, 2011
Pros: None - this remote delivers on none of it's promises.
Cons: Poor battery life, even with new rechargeable set-up; Doesn't remember key commands; constantly tries to correct non-existent issues when it's working properly; says there is a problem with components when there are none; sets inputs to incorrect settings
Summary: Worst than my previous Harmony; two-for-two: they were both worse than just programming a Comcast remote and dealing with less functionality.

It works, and has two configurators, basic and advanced
by allan_vancouver on February 27, 2011
Pros: Windows and Mac OS support, plus Firefox support.
Logitech Harmony Remote 7.7.0 software has significantly more function and flexibility than the default online setup. Good enough for my modest needs.Cons: Documentation didn't indicate that Harmony Remote Software 7.7.0 was a downloadable alternative to the default "simple" online configurator. Backlight and a charging dock would be nice, but not essential for me.
Summary: I tried the more "advanced" Acoustic Research XSight Touch AARX18G for an hour or two and gave up because the software would not work. I know the Harmony doesn't ...
Summary: I tried the more "advanced" Acoustic Research XSight Touch AARX18G for an hour or two and gave up because the software would not work. I know the Harmony doesn't have a touch screen or backlight, but what good are these features if you can't even set up the Xsight. I exchanged the devices at the retailer and the Harmony worked correctly the first time. I did switch to the more feature-rich downloadable Remote Software 7.7.0 after first trying the default simple setup, because I wanted to rename the Activities (Logitech could improve their documentation included in the box so buyers could make a choice up front). Logitech's huge online database of devices included all four of my home theatre units (Z550 amp, Pioneer Elite BD DVD, Octava 4X1 HDMI switch, Epson 8350 projector), so I didn't need to do any IR "learning" from my old remotes. I only had to manually add one IR step to each of my Activities to turn off the LED on my Octava 4x1 HDMI switch. I may try to work with my Logitech Z5500 audio amp settings to see if there is a discrete "power on" and "power off" instead of an on/off toggle, because sometimes it gets out of step, especially if you are making configuration changes and forget to do an "all off" before updating the remote on the PC.
I am not even remotely disappionted. Lovin' it!
by GruveeGuru on February 7, 2011
Pros: Rechargeable, One click on/off for all necessary media devices in an activity. Easy to follow instructions for an easy set-up. Lights up when picked up.
Cons: The character labeling near the buttons is very small, and does not contrast well against the remotes background coloring making it difficult to see even in a well lit room, and impossible to see in low light.
Summary: I am extremely pleased with this remote. It works as well as I had hoped, and was easier to set up than I thought it would be. I can put ...
Summary: I am extremely pleased with this remote. It works as well as I had hoped, and was easier to set up than I thought it would be. I can put my other remotes in a drawer, and reduce clutter. The help button does actually come in handy if something is not working as programmed by reducing the guess work. Logitech continues to amaze me.

Suburban Pasadena Outdoor Post Lighting
Date : July 26th, 2010
I was sure I had heard the name when I first read about the Kichler Pasadena outdoor post light. I agonized myself over it for quite some time before finally concluding that this post lamp had a 'suburban name'. Those of you who have grown in peaceful neighborhoods in the suburbs must be well aware of what a beautiful suburban neighborhood is supposed to look like and how much warner it looks with exterior post lighting. There is a certain similarity and harmony among suburbs the world over. Their names, appearance of the houses, roads, roadside lamps, shopping malls and even families bear an unmistakable suburban identity. Being raised as a part of one such family, I grew up loving my calm and hassle-free life. No wonder why I instantly recognized and related with the suburban ancestry of this creamed glass outdoor lamp (found here: http://www.brilliantoutdoors.com/kic-49142.html). It seems to have been made to brighten those very California neighborhoods that I wandered about on my bike when I was a child. So much for beautiful memories.

I have noticed that the dates in the UltraEdit FTP Window are not all correct and don't match the Linux web server I have.
One file has a date/timestamp on the server of:
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 117953 Dec 31 18:29 Notify.log
and the FTP Window shows date of: 1/1/2009 1:29:00AM so it is obviously very far off.
One other file in this directory is also showing a date from almost a year ago. Neither of these files (nor the directory they are in) existed back then. There are 8 other files in this directory and they are closer to matching, but some are still hours off.
The Server date and time is the correct one. The server's clock is set within a couple of minutes of actual time.
My UltraEdit version is: 220.127.116.112 running on a WIN XP SP3 system.
Attached is a snapshot of the Server directory and the FTP window.
I don't think I am looking at this wrong...

Overcast ~ Flood Watch Friday, Dec. 20, 2013 |
Jericho -- Back from the brinkPosted Thursday, December 27, 2007, at 9:40 PM Then fans united behind the battle cry "nuts", referring to the last line uttered in the season finale. CBS headquarters was inundated with shipments of nuts and unbelievable amounts of email flooded into their offices. I know Moon and Gardner did their part. Under pressure, CBS decided to give the show a seven-episode pickup and announced they would run the show during the summer of 2007 in an attempt to broaden the fan base. Good concept but here's what happened. Instead of running the entire first season as first suggested, CBS ran a few episodes, went to the mid-season first half wrap-up episode and then aired the final episodes in order. It makes sense they would rush the season of Jericho through so they could serve us up some gems like Moonlight, Cane and The Big Bang Theory. Great thinking. Now we are two months away from the return of Jericho and we need to build the fan base even more to keep this show on the air. If you haven't checked the show out, find someone who has the DVD set and watch it. You'll be hooked. Fans saved this show. We stood up and demanded that CBS respect what the fans wanted. Networks should do more of this. Why would you take a show off the air with a fan base like Jericho and replace it with junk such as Moonlight and Cane? Because people who are not in step with average people are calling the shots. This is a crippling disease that has infiltrated most aspects of our society. People rise to power, sit on top and make decisions. The only problem with this method is the people on top rarely step down where the rest of us reside. Might get their hands dirty. Opps. Sorry about that. Back to the topic at hand. Jericho rises from the ashes on Feb. 12 at 10 p.m. Tuesday. Jericho is far from safe. Want another example that shows CBS is sharpening the guillotine? Jericho follows Big Brother. Great show -- years ago but well past its prime. Kinda like Survivor. Sorry Lisa. I will be posting reminders and updates on the show's future and hopefully its full season pickup in the future. Until then, visit CBS.com and other Jericho sites to get updates and keep the show alive. Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] |

So you should have it checked out. It's a much better solution to find the root cause than to get something to work around it.
Not in terms of trying to prove "I was right" or not, but I went back and scanned through posts to try to see if I could find where your injury complaints started... because I thought it'd been going on for a few months. I found a reference back on 5/30 you'd made to tight shins and calves... and that it was similar to problems you'd had in high school. My impression is that you've been having difficulty since you started back running and really the problems have never gone away. Is this right? If so, I'd say this has been going on long enough, eh?

Canada Women Happy with Repeat USA 7s Win |
Canada - Women |
Aside from the fierceness that a final typically showcases, Canada entered today's Women's International 7s championship against the Netherlands knowing that its opponents were looking for revenge, having lost to the North Americans in pool play. "It was the level of intensity I was expecting," Canada captain and championship MVP Mandy Marchak. "We expected nothing less." The gameplan was to move the ball around Netherlands, which had some size on Canada and was very good stealing possession on the ground. "Our goal is to get through games with a ruck," Canada coach David Tait said. "The less rucking, the less work you have to do attacking, and the easier it is on the defense. There were a few times I thought we could have moved the ball quicker, but that will come with traning, and hopefully they'll start to see the field easier." But there was nothing easy about the final bout. Early on, the Netherlands struggled to connect on their offloads, which is key for a team with a size advantage. Canada struggled to stick its tackles and the offense had issues executing its game plan. "We wanted to attack wide, but they were shutting that down early," Tait said. "A credit to our girls, they read the game well and started to attack down the blind. We also fell off a couple of tackles in the first half, but we knew going into the game that they like to offload because they're a big team, so it was important that we got the tackle right, and the girls stepped it up in the second half. And the subs that came on sealed the win for us." Laura Stoughton was on Tait's list of impact subs. "She came on and really did what we were looking forward," the 7s and 15s coach said. "She kept the ball moving well, talked on defense and shut down the inside, forcing the ball wide. Also, our unsung hero, who is always a forward, is Kelly Russell. She really dominated the contact area and did a good job of securing the ball." "Our team has been together for three or four days," Marchak added, "and before that, nothing since the World Cup [in September]. Yes, it helped [to have World Cup-ers on the team], because we've played together. But also part of the squad are people who have never played 7s before, and to come in here and play like they've been at it for years and help us to a final's win, was unbelievable." One such player was wing Magali Harvey, who rebounded from an unfortunate stiff-arm that allowed a try, to scoring the game-winning points. "The game was even more intense than I was anticipating," the former U20 player said. "The World Cup veterans were very useful. Every time I needed help, they showed me where to go, what to do, and without them, I probably wouldn't have played as well." The fan support, which included the Canada men's team, played a part in the win as well. "It was great," Marchak concluded. "We have tons of fans and family who came out, so that support was huge for us." |

Named "the rich coast" by Spanish conquistadors who first made landfall here in 1502, Costa Rica is one of the planet's most naturally splendid and biologically diverse regions. Though largely undeveloped until the mid-20th century (due to its lack of traditional "riches"—gold, silver, spices), the country is today drawing new generations of explorers with more lasting treasures: smoldering volcanoes, misty cloud forests, rare wildlife and bird species, and a surfeit of beaches that are the gateway to world-class surfing, diving, and sportfishing.

A History of Sequins from King Tut to the King of Pop
What do Michael Jackson, King Tut and Leonardo da Vinci have in common? A penchant for sequins.
At some point between 1480 and 1482, Leonardo whipped together a sketch for a machine that, using levers and pulleys, would punch small disks out of a metal sheet.
Since the device was never actually made, we don't know if the Renaissance jack-of-all-trades dreamt it up to glamourize the gamurra, a typical women's dress of the time, or if it had some greater utilitarian purpose.
Going back centuries before Leonard, there's Tutankhamun (1341 B.C.-1323 B.C.). When King Tut's tomb was discovered in 1922, gold sequinlike disks were found sewn onto the Egyptian royal's garments. It's assumed they'd ensure he'd be financially and sartorially prepared for the afterlife.
Sewing precious metals and coins onto clothing wasn't just prepping for the hereafter. In fact, the origins of the word "sequin" have always referenced wealth. The Arabic word sikka means "coin" or "minting die." During the 13th century, gold coins produced in Venice were known as zecchino. For centuries, variations of sikka and zecchino were used in Europe and the Middle East. Incidentally, in England, they're not sequins—they're spangles.
Sewing gold and other precious metals onto clothing was multifunctional, serving as a status symbol, a theft deterrent or a spiritual guide. Especially for those with more nomadic lifestyles, coins were kept close to the body and attached to clothes (see example above). In addition to safekeeping valuables, sequined clothing doubled as ostentatious displays of wealth in places like Egypt, India and Peru and, with their glaring sheen, they were meant to ward off evil spirits.
An example of how we wear sequins today comes from the Plimoth Plantation women's waistcoat. The museum website explains, "These fashionable items of dress were popular in the first quarter of the 17th century for women of court, the nobility and those who had achieved a certain level of wealth." The jacket, a reproduction of a garment at the Victoria and Albert Museum, includes an astonishing 10,000 sequins hand-stitched by volunteers using a historic technique.
The reflective bits of metal—sewn onto the Plimoth jacket and dresses, bonnets and other jackets during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries—made the garments and accessories look fancy. And that trend grew exponentially after the discovery of sequins in King Tut's tomb. The round disks became all the rage on garments in the 1920s and were typically made of metal. (Imagine a flapper dancing in a dress weighed down by thousands of metal sequins.)
In the 1930s, a process to electroplate gelatin (hello, Jell-O…) produced a lighter-weight version of the shiny metal disks. But one major obstacle (besides the color being lead-based) was that the gelatin sequins were finicky; they would melt if they got wet or too warm. So getting caught in a thunderstorm could leave you in a sequinless sheath. Or, as the blog Fashion Preserved mentioned, "missing sequins can tell tales." For instance, the warmth of a dance partner's clammy hand on the back of a dress could melt the sequins. While not viable for their longevity on clothing, today they've become known for their edibility; it's easy to find recipes to make palatable (although definitely not vegan) sequins from gelatin to decorate cakes and assorted baked goods.
The guy behind our contemporary understanding of sequins is Herbert Lieberman. After realizing that gelatin sequins wouldn't do the trick, he worked with Eastman Kodak, a company that had begun using acetate in its film stock in the 1930s (acetate film is a specific type of plastic material called cellulose acetate) to develop acetate sequins. They looked beautiful but were still fragile. As Lieberman told Fanzine magazine:
"The light would penetrate through the color, hit the silver, and reflect back," he says. "Like you painted a mirror with nail polish." Brilliant, but brittle. "Acetate will crack like glass. The harder the plastic, the nicer the sequin's going to be."
In 1952, DuPont invented Mylar and that changed the sequin game yet again. The largest sequin producer, the Lieberman-owned company Algy Trimmings Co., now based in Hallandale Beach, Florida, adopted the transparent polyester film. Mylar surrounded the plastic colored sequin and protected it from the washing machine. Voila! Or, sort of.
Eventually the Mylar-acetate combination was discarded for vinyl plastic. More durable and cost effective, yes. (Although we now know that eventually the vinyl plastic curls and loses its shape.) Just as sparkly? Not quite, but good enough.
Which brings us to Michael Jackson one night in 1983 when he performed "Billie Jean" and premiered the moonwalk. He wore a black sequin jacket along with his iconic rhinestone glove (see first image in post), a look that made a lasting impression on the 47 million viewers who tuned in to watch the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever television special. But that wasn't the last time he'd be covered in shiny platelets. How about when he met the president of the United States in 1984 wearing a military-style, sequin jacket? Or on the HIStory world tour when he wore a white sequin number?
Melting, edible disks be damned, sequins are here to stay (and who knows what they'll be made from 50 years from now). Yes, we expect to see them on a New Year's Eve dress, but we've also grown accustomed to seeing them emblazoned on a basic white T-shirt or pair of flats. With accessibility comes diluted trends and with that comes, well, shapeless Uggs boots covered in what was once a symbol of attention-grabbing glamour.

As usual, a great post from "threaded". I had to share this one on Facebook.
Fantastic write up!! I'm partial to gelatin sequins, something about the way they look is so much more appealing than modern sequins.
What a cool piece! I would never have thought of sequins without you.
It's odd that a post on sequins around New Year's doesn't refer to the annual Mummers Parade in Philadelphia.
As I love anything having to do with sewing, fabric, (threads), knitting; loved the article. Can't wait to tell my g-kids. Loved it!!!
Another interesting article. I love, love, love these Smithsonian blogs/threads.
In England, sequins are called sequins.
My sister wore a beautiful dress with a sequin embellished skirt for new years eve. I sent her this article!
Love this history. I am a lover of sequins, but glad someone else has slight issues with sequined uggs!!
Interesting article. Many thanks. Does anyone know anything about a sequin factory outside of Yarmouth NS where herring scales were made into sequins?
This was a very interesting article, but I cannot believe that nothing was mentioned about LIBERACE, who actually began the whole world of sequins & glitter with his costumes, back in the 1950′s. He was known as "MR. SHOWMANSHIP" mainly because of his elaborate costumes and staging and definitely should be included in this write-up.
Um, "plastic hadn't yet been invented" in the 1920s? We've had celluloid since the 1860s.
I agree that in Britain the modern article is called a sequin, but at the beginning of the nineteenth century the ones which were struck from thin gold and silver were indeed known as spangles.
Agree. In the 1902 Sears Roebuck Catalogue a 'spangled jet crown' was offered for 39 cents. There is a picture of star type motif made of 'sequins' and explains this is a 'hat crown'.
What a great article! I've read other histories of sequins on various blogs, but this one is the most thorough I've found so far.
As for modern sequins, it's a lot of fun to see what artists are doing with them these days. Robert Haven does amazing tambour embroidery, and so does Shirlee Fassell. People like Mary Tafoya (and myself!) do a lot of interesting sequin embroidery, too. Vanessa Walilko has made a flapper dress out of aluminum discs.
I think a sequin exhibit would be a fun idea. I'd be more than happy to suggest contributors.
Fascinating! The transition from coins sewed onto garments (which practice I've known about since childhood) to decoration makes perfect sense. And I had no idea a writer for the Smithsonian would be so engaging and humorous–I'll have to read more of these articles! Thanks for the post!
Thank you for a fascinating article. Just one correction – over here in Britain sequins ARE called sequins, same as in the US.

Has the decade-long global confrontation with al-Qaeda been an actual war, or a series of U.S.-led military operations against a single terrorist organization? Has al-Qaeda been acting alone against the U.S., or is it merely one among many in an expansive network of jihadists? Is it U.S. policy that incites jihadists, or a sui generis ideology with a centuries-old agenda? How does the broad-based U.S.-led coalition to defeat al-Qaeda measure up to the jihadist alliance to destroy the U.S.? Have U.S.-led military efforts defeated al-Qaeda globally and within nation-states, or have the jihadists increased their penetration of democracies around the globe? These are the "right questions" that need to be asked.
Traditionally, the Muslim Brotherhood and adherents of the Wahhabi creed have focused on seizing power in their immediate region, the Middle East, through a power struggle with regional regimes, and expanding their presence in the West through "influence operations." The violent jihadists born out of the Soviet-Afghan conflict preferred a more direct route; they were convinced that war with the United States would allow them to build support for small emirates across the region, as a prelude to a Caliphate. From the end of World War II into the 1990s, the first mode predominated—with militant efforts led by political Islamists who preferred to expand their ambit by influence and indoctrination.
In the 1990s, however, al-Qaeda assumed the lead role in the jihad against the West. Lamentably, the U.S. national security apparatus has consistently failed to recognize the terror campaign against it—or to acknowledge that the efforts of jihadists form a single, intertwined global movement that is at war with the Western world.
A strategic deficiency of this magnitude (especially over the past four years) has led the U.S. and its allies to spend and sacrifice lavishly on the battlefields of Afghanistan, Iraq, Africa, and other places, and on homeland security, while reaping comparatively meager results. The American failure to grasp the big picture of a coordinated global campaign against it has hobbled Washington bureaucrats in the confrontation with global jihadists and al-Qaeda, political Islamist networks, and the regional Iranian efforts to spread radicalization.
Indeed, today we are witnessing what is in effect a unilateral withdrawal from the field of competition against the forces of Islamism. This new direction in U.S. policy is based on two flawed assumptions: The first, which I refer to as the "jihad as yoga" view, assumes no ideological root to the conflict. Instead of waging a global integrated strategy, it posits, the U.S. is fighting "local wars" in Afghanistan and Iraq—wars in which the only possible objective was not to win, but to quit. Instead of acknowledging a struggle against a jihadi web of influence and operations, it minimizes the current U.S. effort to a limited war against a single organization: al-Qaeda. In this view, the killing of the organization's head, Osama bin Laden, provides the predicate for declaring success, and a basis for withdrawal from the battlefield.
The second, and related, assumption identifies Islamist political forces as partners in the governance of many Middle East and Arab countries. Since 2009, for example, the administration has steadily drifted toward engagement with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, as well as with the ostensibly "moderate" wings of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Taliban. In doing so, it has gambled that cutting a deal with one segment of the Islamist network would help to isolate al-Qaeda. But the Arab Spring of 2011 demonstrated that regional unrest, at least initially, was ignited by secular democratic yearnings, rather than Islamist fervor. Washington, by failing to adequately back the former while engaging the latter, has found itself on the sidelines of the pro-freedom struggle taking place in the Middle East and as a promoter of Islamist orthodoxy.
Today, in the tenth year of the conflict launched following 9/11, it is the overall strategic direction of Washington—rather than the state of the military struggle— that is the true issue to reflect upon. Whereas the first six years of the War on Terror took the U.S. in what was generally the right direction, flawed implementation eventually led to stalemate; more recently, ideological drift has led to strategic retreat. And now, the thing that prolongs our war with the jihadists is our inability to identify the threat—and therefore to act decisively against it
To those not in the know, our current American President is an anti American, anti capitalist, anti military, pro socialist, pro globalist socialist, pro Islamic, Messianic personality. His Islamic trait he kept hidden or at least never up played it for his common constituants to see during his Presidential bid. It was the remaining traits that made him the darling of the liberal mindset. The liberal mindset, btw, is born of illusion, itself the product of an immature mind.
Barac Hussain Obama was concieved in his mothers mind before he was concieved in her womb. His mother was likewise a product of her parents and their communist sympathies back during the red scare days of the 30s, 40s and 50s.
His mothers name was the masculine Stanley, and this set her apart from all other women. Barac was concieved out of wedlock, his parents wed 6 months before his birth, and his birth seems to have been in the far away land of his father, only shortly thereafter to return to the homeland, America.
If this brief sounds familiar to you Christians out there it should, this is the story of the nativity. Stanley Dunham, the mother of Barac Hussain Obama, was giving birth to the Messiah, the anti American Messiah.
His upbringing, his social breeding, from birth to adult status was all anti Americanism. He was taught that capitalism is bad, that socialism is good, and as a special bonus, at age 5, Baracs mother remarried, and she married a practicing Islamic, named Soetoro. From 6 thru 10 little Barac was raised to be Islamic.
His natural father was black, therefore Barac is half black genetically, and this gravitated him to black people and black culture. Among other realities he eventually became a follower of a black Christian minister who preached hate, unforgiveness and social justice. The social justice being particularly attractive to anti American, American blacks.
These are the ingredients that were the recipe for Barac Hussain Obama.
Because he was reared to be anti American and pro Islamic, he will always have a disfavoring of the American position and a favoring of the Islamic position.
This is such an extremely unfortunate position as true America is the worlds last best hope, while Islam is the human cancer, metastasizing globally and in pursuit of its superiority at the expense of other peoples liberty and happiness via a conquer, submit and enslave policy.
Barac has done so much to destroy American culture, and advance and further socialism and Islam, that he can legitimately be compared to a wrecking ball smashing into the good edifice America and all humanity.
America is a fully enfranchised democracy and liberals have the same voting rights as conservatives. It was and is the liberal illusion, born of immaturity, that saw in Obama his anti Americanism as their savior and longed for Messiah.
It is Obamas anti American Messianic weltanschuung that has done so much damage to both America and all humanity that he is to a legitimate degree, the biblical anti Christ.
American Presidetial elections are every 4 years. This is a Presidential election year. Barac is running for re-election. May all humanity pray.
One and done. Nobama 2012, vote republican. Thank you.

KALISPELL- A Kalispell woman will spend two years behind bars after an infant in her care was hospitalized with a skull fracture last year.
Kimberly Butler pleaded guilty this week to a felony count of criminal endangerment.
Butler admitted in June of 2011 to dropping a seven-month-year old infant she was babysitting, and then shaking her when she began crying and screaming.
The infant sustained retinal hemorrhaging and a skull fracture from the incident. Physicians say the extent of the injuries to the infant will remain unknown until she's older and begins to develop cognitive skills.
Butler was sentenced to the Department of Corrections for 10 years, with eight suspended.

Take care of Wonder Bread and Ding Dong is getting -- by -- union costs and a host of other things hostesses -- to say it.
A lot of red -- negotiating new labor contracts that would save the company hundreds of millions of dollars.
Analysis CEO Gregory -- is here to update us on know whether that doesn't triples company into bankruptcy what do you think right.
I think you're well I mean I think that we've made substantial progress in the past week.
Last week we had an agreement with the Teamsters.
That that they would put it up for vote and let their members vote on a package of concessions.
On Tuesday reach an agreement with the bakers union for those are two largest by far.
And they will put up for vote let the employees those are really rests in the employees' hands.
The concessions are.
-- their tough.
So why do you say as you know that you're putting it all on them and it it was bad management bad decisions bad timing bad execution.
The did it and health conscious society that sealed.
The okay all of all I can Parse that if you want you know the last four are really don't buy write him in the health conscious stuff I mean it would we wouldn't have chocolate companies if if you know who would sell make chocolate if that was an issue right and -- -- I don't think that's been a huge issue for for hostess we sell.
Millions of twinkies Ding Dong -- every day.
Your biggest seller among that group gosh.
You know -- you almost have to look at geography right so we have -- cakes in the northeast and Dolly Madison other places so you know I think GAAP.
I think try to doing guns are -- staple twinkies could be yet what scares and -- twinkies benefits you.
How long has it been around -- when I open a pack of twinkies I suspect it's passable.
We've been around decades.
Not that particular one -- -- ha ha but.
But I have a long stuff they do they do but not as you know not as -- -- people think actually so that's that's one reason that we have a good thrift store business.
But I ask your question about cost you know -- -- blame.
I think in this case and I've done this -- point nine years tried to return reward for companies everybody shares in the blame in this deal that there's no one person can point and another person say this was view this as you.
So you -- -- but let you know a series of of events.
And over -- company.
Company you know anytime a company doesn't invest in itself.
And doesn't get into a structure where they can do that they're gonna have a problem.
And you know so but we -- It -- -- get these concessions are you workers and obviously you -- the signal we to do this Oregon right so obviously they don't wanna be done.
So they make the concessions.
Normal what I see -- don't lot of companies when this happens and they date they need an agreement and move on is they're -- happy moving C don't have a great.
Jazz workforce and what do you do I think it's I think that's a real.
That's a real issue here in particular because hostess was bankrupt before.
-- so so if you look at this.
You what you're asking these employees to -- you're going to people who already gave at the office for years ago.
There were concessions right and other back in the soup and and I you know.
I it's like the airline guys -- the pilots and then in the baggage handlers and -- flight since it.
Been there done that you want more blood from that I not right not fair diet and I'm not.
And it's an issue so the way we chose to deal with it and then what I thought -- -- -- We try to make sure that that there is shared sacrifice across the board so for example wage concessions in our case our our total company concessions management and -- They're not unions are not targeted gentlemen so we'll cut wages as part of this proposal -- percent in the first year.
That's not insignificant things pick up every one profits.
Right so -- -- stated that.
There I think that they'll work for them because they're gonna get 25% of the equity of the company as part of this deal.
They're gonna get a hundred million dollars of -- -- debt so that'll be ahead of the equity.
So they're getting things that they didn't get the last time around as offsets for these concessions but the concessions are being shared by the that the entire company and not just one specific group but the.
Thank you -- as sort of a macro disadvantage in an age -- we haven't been I don't wanna put politics here but in an age where unions.
Heavily supported.
And and very popular.
With the president like to present its returns it is in back to them.
Philosophies like yours getting tough onions or getting tough on costs.
In this environment at least -- this administration.
You're you're up against it.
-- well.
I think that there may be you know there there are certainly politics -- tried any time you're dealing with with you don't say anything unions feel a fellow union being sure.
But beyond -- date they respond but he sure but I give them I give that that the parties credit here so we we I came into the situation sort of -- -- the last guy in.
And you know when we had some very a very wide.
Gap between the parties involved in terms of finding a solution to go forward.
So I give the leadership credit because you know they they.
They made the moves they needed to make our our lenders made the news they need to make it's a true compromise because no one likes where they are.
So that's the nature of the true copper but I just can't see the maker Hartford twenty sending its -- -- -- Staples.
Dueling candidates I just can't figure out what -- -- I don't think it will mean I'm very hopeful that that this will go through -- and the company has I think great prospects because.
Our revenues have felt so if you look at what's going on with the company for the past year.
Bankruptcy bad press.
I -- -- some -- the stuff strike talk you know every other week.
You know trial 1113 trial -- you know you go through we've had corn prices that are dust bowl levels this summer yet forget that that impacts us so we've had everything to locusts.
But I think -- and the revenues are holding sailor and will watch it cause it has I think a lot of people were really.
Union about it a lot of people retreat as and I -- You -- -- an -- our our customers have been very supportive and our our employees have been greater vendors have been supporting either single handedly kept in business I'm not.
Ever do -- -- a thank you and we have isolated by -- 70% to testing I think might as well.
Thank you very Greg Rayburn -- the -- over hostess brands trying to turn.
