WINKLER, MANITOBA--(Marketwire - July 5, 2012) - The Government of Canada announced new funding to support youth in Winkler and the surrounding areas of Morden, Altona and Carman to help them gain the skills, knowledge and experience they need to enter and succeed in the job market. The announcement was made by Candice Hoeppner, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Safety and Member of Parliament for Portage-Lisgar, on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development.
"Our government's top priority is creating jobs, growth and long-term prosperity," said Ms. Hoeppner. "Our government's Youth Employment Strategy is helping youth develop the skills and gain the experience they need to get jobs now and prepare for the workforce of tomorrow."
Segue Career Options is receiving over $136,000 from the Skills Link program to help 20 youth overcome barriers to employment. Skills Link is part of the Government of Canada's Youth Employment Strategy (YES).
With annual funding of more than $300 million, YES helps youth, particularly those facing barriers to employment, obtain career information, develop employment skills, find jobs and stay employed. YES includes the Skills Link and Career Focus programs and the Canada Summer Jobs initiative, which creates thousands of job opportunities for students every summer.
Economic Action Plan 2012 will provide an additional $50 million over two years to enhance YES so that more young people can gain tangible skills and experience. This funding will focus on connecting young Canadians with jobs in fields that are in high demand.
The participants in the Segue Career Options project will attend skills workshops that focus on topics including interview preparation, time management and problem solving. Participants will then gain experience through work placements with local employers in fields such as administration, retail and construction.
"Segue Career Options would like to acknowledge the Government of Canada for the Skills Link funding for our youth employment project in Winkler," said Debra Stockwell, Program Director, Segue Career Options. "This funding is essential to assist youth in our community and surrounding areas to make a successful transition into employment or return to school."
Youth employment programs are part of the Government of Canada's broader strategy to create an educated, skilled and flexible workforce. The Government underscored its commitment to this strategy in Canada's Economic Action Plan. A key component of the Plan is to create more and better opportunities for Canadian workers through skills development. To learn more about Canada's Economic Action Plan, visit www.actionplan.gc.ca.
The Government of Canada is helping youth prepare for, find and maintain meaningful employment through enhanced online services available at Youth.gc.ca.

This news release is available online at: www.actionplan.gc.ca.
The Youth Employment Strategy is the Government of Canada's commitment to help youth make a successful transition to the workplace.
Skills Link helps youth facing barriers to employment, including youth who are single parents, youth with disabilities and youth in rural and remote areas, to develop the skills and gain the experience needed to find a job or the confidence to return to school.
Career Focus provides funding to employers to hire young post-secondary graduates to give them career-related work experience and help them acquire skills to transition into the job market.
Canada Summer Jobs provides funding to not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees to create summer job opportunities for young people aged 15 to 30 years who are full-time students intending to return to their studies in the next school year.

Free 2 year warranty
With the Dyson digital motor V2 and Root Cyclone™ technology, DC44 provides powerful constant suction. From the moment you start cleaning until the moment you finish.
There are other cordless vacuums that are bagless. But with inefficient cyclones, dust can pass through onto the filter, clogging it and causing suction loss. Dyson cordless vacuums use patented cyclone technology, just like our corded machines. Powerful centrifugal forces spin dust and dirt out of the air and into the bin, ensuring that high suction power is maintained.
DC44 is easy to lift – its center of gravity is located towards the grip. It's engineered for cleaning up top, down below and in-between.
DC44's brush bar has nylon bristles that remove ground-in dirt from carpets – as well as a row of anti-static carbon fiber filaments. These filaments prevent the build up of static charge that holds fine dust to hard floors.
Many cordless vacuums don't have brush bars, and those that do only contain nylon bristles. While these loosen dirt from carpets, they're not as effective on hard floors where fine dust can be left behind. The brush bars of Dyson cordless vacuums are different. They have a row of anti-static carbon fiber filaments, as well as nylon bristles. The filaments prevent the build-up of the static charge that holds the fine dust to the floor, allowing it to be sucked up into the vacuum.
30 minutes of cleaning time, or 8 minutes on boost mode for more difficult tasks.
Just push the button to release the dirt.
Stores and charges the machine, and holds additional attachments.
All Dyson vacuums come with Dyson-engineered tools for cleaning hard to reach places around the home.
DC44's trigger grip releases instantly. Battery power is only used for cleaning – allowing 30 minutes of cleaning time.
All Dyson cordless vacuums come with a 2 year warranty – parts and labor.
Forget the conventional vacuum cleaner.

El Gaucho - Portland
Online Reservations
Excellent atmosphere: elegant, yet comfortable. Notable reception: remembered that it was our anniversary; special table setting and congratulatory note signed by entire staff. Outstanding service: attentive, conversant without being over-done or disingenuous, generally impeccable. Food: beautiful presentations; outstanding flavor profiles; easily one of the best meals we've ever had (and we have had many excellent meals). Unnecessary, but greatly appreciate complimentary Bananas Foster dessert, expertly prepared and presented tableside. A most memorable experience for our 33rd anniversary!!! We'll be back when we return to Portland, and will proactively provide recommendations!
We went for our anniversary and the service was unbelievable. Everyone from the water waiter through the front were top notch, caring and took time to walk us through the menu. If you wants something special just ask they do it b
My husband and I had the chateaubriand with lobster for two and everything was prepared to perfection. I expected the roasted tomato side to be soggy and unremarkable and was blown away with how firm and flavorful it was! The Ruby cocktail was quite possibly the best version of a lemon drop I've ever had. Citrus vodka and chambord? Yes, please!
El Gaucho is always a favorite of ours. Normally, we have better service than we received on this particular evening, but our dinner was still terrific.
I highly recommend this place! They have the best French onion soup and Cesar salad made fresh at your table! The filet was excellent as well. I will defiantly return!
First-class service all around...without exception. Very spendy. Wine list exceptionally spendy. They know how to provide excellent food, with exceptional attention to detail. Bring your checkbook...and don't faint!
El Gaucho is always good, service is always spot on. Almost doesnt matter who is waiting on you, the help is always experienced and great. Food was superb!
Amazing place to enjoy adding on another year and to celebrate with a great friend!
Outstanding service, decor, wine list and food. Went here for our 23rd anniversary and split the beef and lobster. Keith our waiter was very accomadating in all respects, the Ken Wright 2009 Carter Pinot Noir was beyond expectations. Every aspect of the food from the bread, to teh salad dressing to the staeak to the lobster and dessert was beyond anyting I have experienced in the last 15 years of fine dining. The only criitisim I would have is the location of our table.....it was fraily close tot he kitche/grill area where alot of heat was generated. with a full dining room this got a bit uncomfortable.
My son wanted to go to El Gaucho before he left town for college. We'd never been, but he had heard good things about it. He had his wisdom teeth out a few days earlier so a steak dinner was a risk. We enjoyed it. His steaks were tender enough for him to enjoy. We both got the trio. My daughter is a vegetarian and she was able to enjoy her options as well.
El gaucho has alway been "Our Go To Place" for anniversaries. The food is always very good with impeccable service. Be aware this restaurant is not cheap but is well worth the expense. Hence the special occassions only. Wine selections were very good as well. After asking about some red wines, the wine steward brought several reds over for us to try before making a decison. El Gaucho always makes our anniversary special; from the resevations, to the anniversary card signed by the staff on our table and detail to service from every waiter we have had.
We have been here in the past and enjoyed sitting in the main dining area. This time we were in a small room next to the service cart. Not very romantic for our anniversary. Food was excellent though.
We had a great meal and Justin took very good care of us.
El Gaucho Portland was recommended by a friend. Wow! It was good!
The food is pricey but good. We got a first course each, then shared the main course and that was just right. The real draw here is the service, hands down the best in town. This was our third visit, becoming the place to go for special occasions. We felt some pressure to buy up on the wine, but the selection was excellent.
Pro Excellent steak, lobster, sauces, salad, deserts, etc. Very proficient and professional wait staff Nice cozy atmosphere Con Noise level made it very hard to hold a conversation - live music should have been turned down It could have been a few degrees cooler - got pretty hot in there High prices
Very kind hosting and wait staff who welcomed us on our 1st wedding anniversary. Food was very good and waiter offered up good recommendations.
Always know I'm getting treated well to an amazing meal
Comping the bill would be the only way to make it a better experience, everyting was perfect and Ken Wrights 2009 Pinot was beyond good, my guest was very impressed.
We spent our 10 year wedding anniversary with no regrets here. The prices are a little on the high side for our family but well worth it with the table side service and great food. I highly recommend this place.
This was a special occasion dinner - anniversary and birthday combined - that we've celebrated at El Gaucho for several years. From Julie greeting us to Kyle providing excellent service throughout our dining experience, we were treated royally.
We were exceptionally waited on by the staff. There were at least 3 or 4 different service staff members that dropped by from time to time to see how we were doing. For me that is very important. I would highly recommend El Gaucho for a special evening out. pdxdinner
Good atmoshere and food experience. Fun and enjoyable.
This is a great place if you are looking for a high end steak, white tablecloth service and a great wine list. Tableside caesar salad will not disappoint.
My boyfriend and I had our anniversary dinner here. Everything was absolutely wonderful, we were seated in a cozy corner with rose petals and a card I asked to have handwritten with a special note. The food was amazing, had the steak dinner for two which they finish preparing at your dinner table. . At the end of the meal you get a beautiful platter with blue cheese, crackers, dates, grapes, nuts and a fresh pear. Wonderful experience!!!
The service was great from checking in with our reservation, to our server and the few others that checked in on us throughout our meal. However, the managers came over to inquire about our experience too many times. I appreciate the GM coming over once to ask about our meal but to have two or three people (other than our waiter) ask about our experience was a bit interruptive to our intimate dining experience. The only thing about the prices that I would complain about was the close to 200% markup on a bottle of wine. I am very familiar with the prices of wine around the Oregon vineyards and throughout the various wine countries, I understand about profit margins but above 100% is a bit ridiculous. It is almost an insult to their patrons.
We had a wonderful meal at El Gaucho celebrating our 5th anniversary. Everything was exceptional!
Celebrated our 20th Anniversary and it seemed like all of the El Gaucho staff knew about it. Exceptional service without being over bearing. The most flavorful and tender slabs of meat and a great selection of wines from Argentina. There is nothing not to like. Not enough room for dessert but the complimentary fruit and cheese plate filled in nicely with a perfect ending.
My husband, daughter and I celebrated my birthday here last Saturday evening. We had an outstanding dinner and we are so pleased with the experience, that we will put it on our list for special occasion celebrations. The salads were served table side and were fresh and on the larger side as far as proportions go. Our tenderloin was cooked perfectly and was very tender. The ahi tuna was fresh and very flavorful. We were still full the next day.
Perfect if you are looking for a traditional restaurant for a special occasion. Service is excellent and live music creates a nice atmosphere.
El Gaucho is a marvelous place for a special event. My husband and I were celebrating our 15 year anniversary together. That being said be prepared to spend a fair amount on your meal. Our dinner for two with tip was $200. The quality is amazing, the service is very good, you never feel rushed and your meal is paced very well to give you time to enjoy your courses and have time to converse.
Celebrated our anniversary here. The place is perfect for a special occasion. Food was great and the service was outstanding.
In 6 years I've never had a bad meal at El Gaucho. The service, food and surroundings are always first rate. The prices are...pricey, but I'm paying for perfection and that's what I get every time I dine there. El Gaucho is one of the rare restaurants in Portland which understands "medium rare plus" - the gentleman grilling the steaks achieves it every time. And if you'd like an exceptional waiter who is friendly but not intrusive, ask to be seated with Kyle. He really knows the menu and will make helpful well-informed suggestions if you ask.
Overall it was nice. We had a gift card. I would never go there and spend a $150.00 on a dinner. I think it is the kind of place people go that have a lot of money. It was good at least mine was. My husband was not impressed. Honestly there are other places we can go and get a great steak.
My husband and I went for our 15th wedding anniversary and it was the most amazing food, service and dinning experience of our life. The food was so delicious words can not describe it. They made it a night to always be remembered. Thank you El Gaucho!
Our dining experience with our 10-year old grandson was outstanding. We were a little apprehensive about El Goucho being 'child friendly' but the hostess seated us by the grill, so our grandson had a lot to watch during all the preparations. Our server was very attentive, and the food was certainly not disappointing. It was a wonderful experience as usual.
A delightful evening with friends! Steaks and oysters were scrumptious! The mashed potatoes would be on my list as the BEST ever!
Food is delicious, service very nice, good music and romantic atmosphere. I was really surprised that they have the best Caesar salad I ever eaten - they make it table side fresh and it is totally amazing! The lamb is sweet, delicious and the best! Steak of course is excellent because they have custom grills to make it just steaks any way you want it and just the way you want it, simply delicious! My favorite is their Caesar Salad!
Excellent food and service. The staff really takes pride in their jobs, and it comes across to the patrons. The only thing that was a negative was a family that was sat after us. The were extremely loud and obnoxious (probably should not have been served alcohol). 3 other tables asked to be reseated elsewhere in the restaurant because of this one table. We stayed and finished our meal, but this family was very disruptive and made it very hard to hold a conversation. Other then that it was an excellent night!
We had our first experience at El Gaucho, and quite the experience it was! Our waiter, Justin, was superb!!!! Our party of 4 included our 10 year old son. Justin addressed him by sir the whole time, and was very attentive to his needs. The food was delicious! But with service like Justin's, this restaurant could serve regular hamburgers and the experience would be out of this world!!!
We went for my Husbands 40th birthday. The food was excellent. I had the filet medallions and my husband had the bone in NY. Steaks were cooked perfectly and the taste was out of this world. We also indulged on the Lobster Mashed Potatoes!! WOW! Phenomenal! The only complaint I have is that once we were seated it took about 10mins before our waiter showed. BUT once he came over and apologized for the wait he was very attentive and polite the rest of the evening. I would recommend this place to anyone!
This would have been 5 stars but my steak was undercooked ordered med got mr. This is the second time at el gauchos the first was 5 stars. Great scalloped potatoes!
Not only we had the best food, service and romantic ambiance, but also the lovely greeting card which was signed by El Gaucho staff team for our special occasion was AMAZING gesture. Thank you so much for making our first anniversary an unforgettable day. Will recommend you for all of our friends. Thank you :)
Excellent steak and seafood, top quality, perfect service, Classic American style.
They used to serve a large bowl of fruits, nuts and cheeses after dinner. The portion this time was about 25% of what it was. One almond and one walnut for two people. Not a good way to save a buck after someone ate a $250 meal.
One word...perfection! Shortrib special is simply to die for. Wagyu New York special with Roquefort is worth its weight in gold. Start with a tableside Cesar and finish with Granny Smith apple bread pudding :) The best birthday dinner ever!
We've been to all the top restaurants in the Portland area and El Gaucho's is the best of all. Over the 17 years we have lived here, we have been there many times with friends and family. Each and every time it has been absolutely fantastic. We always have a great dinner followed by a visit to the Cigar Bar....What a perfect top to a wonderful evening. This time my party had drinks and four different meals. Each of us really loved both. My wife had the Beef Medallions. She said they were the best she has ever had (including top restaurants in Europe). I had the French Rib....it was a good as they come. The service was perfect, Our Server the best. She was professional, friendly, funny and added to our event.
We recently visited El Gaucho for the first time and enjoyed it very much. While the tab was on the high side, the quality was outstanding. Our waiter was very good, his wine recommendation was excellent and the food was great. We would visit again for sure when in Portland.
You can't find a better steak in Portland. Consistently excellent. The wait staff is extremely professional and knowledgeable. Even our vegetarian daughter has plenty of choices. One of our favorite restaurants anywhere.
The formula for this restaurant: the best ingredients prepared meticulously. To top it off, Add great service and ambiance. Not only are the steaks deliciously prepared, the sauces and sides (especially the legendary lobster mashed potatoes) are amazing by themselves.

I'm running out of thread Ideas, so here we are.
The one thing that pushed me over the limet of not playing LoL ever agian was Tower damage, I got hit, and half a second later, it decide to do damage then, I cannot stand this, it made me die several times because I thought I had higher health than I really had.
Turrets in LoL are just ridiculous. IMO it just prevents actual a tion from happening, because if you fight 5v5 at a turret mid game, you will have no chance. Turrets do what in HoN equals to about 200 damage, which is about the double for a tier one tower.
Champions in LoL are all the same though. I played LoL and didnt care about the enemy chamions skills, because i knew they all had some kind of snare, a lot of damage and/or stuns. Thats it. People saying S2 is uncreative should take a look at Riot games professional and creative team.
i really hate the laning phase.
it feels like its "whoever picks the better heroes wins"
atleast in HoN/Dota you can play a weaker combo and win due to catching them out of position and what not since people rarely live when caught off guard.
in LoL when you catch them out of position, it is really easy for them to recover and kill you instead depending on what heroes they are.
To be fair, towers in hon are a little too weak since you just need hotbl to soak up the damage.
I'll never forget what I felt that day...
I, want to be a Hero of Justice!
Towers in LoL do too much damage, and champions are too ineffective. I don't understand why they don't just remove runes and masteries and buff champions to compensate. They serve no purpose other than to gimp your champion until you have a full set of runes and masteries. Also, their champion design is atrocious. If S2 gets a B for their designs, Riot gets an F.
This is how ALL ARTS devs balance their games.
And THIS is how you shut down Pimp Slayer
Awesome Sig made by Lhune The Incredible.
Project Zomboid An amazing indie survival zombie game
Suggestion - Spaghetti + Meatball Bramble
LoL was boring to me because I didnt have any of the heroes. I remembered when nidalee was on the weekly rotation an I had a blast playing her that hole week an then after I finally got the money to buy her I didn't want to because I already had a chance to play her. Being forced to a small selection of heroes is just terrible. I would of never played hon if I didn't get it back during retail.
God how I wish they ported nidalee to hon. It would be my favorite hero.
Nidalee would be broken as ****. Imagine MoA except useful every minute of the match.
This is how ALL ARTS devs balance their games.
And THIS is how you shut down Pimp Slayer
Capture the feel of the hero, not the skills.
I don't know what I'm doing with my life.
This is how ALL ARTS devs balance their games.
And THIS is how you shut down Pimp Slayer
I agree with a lot of points here. There's way too many blinkers as well.
I played it a few times and managed to rack up enough points (3500) to unlock Anivia which is my favorite out of the tiny fraction I managed to play since it's even more limited than HoN (which will soon be more flexible because of 30 hero instead 15 - which will blows LoL's restriction out of the water). I got bored pretty fast though, even with that hero. Not being able to tower dive is a big downer for me (as my icon will tell) and a hero that has a playstyle like Anivia's makes me want to tower dive and I can't do that without getting shot down in 3 hits
"Honestly I think the reason we all get so upset over this game is BECAUSE of how much we love it." -PieRowManSir
Anivia's not very good at tower diving granted, though with her egg, she's possibly the best at baiting a tower dive.
HoN releases Midwars mode & map, few outsiders give a single f**k. 2 months later LoL releases ARAM map, most of humanity skips a heartbeat from all the win.

That's because LoL is a casual piece of **** game. The "better" players just make a spreadsheet of heroes and counters and that's all it takes to master the game. Just like the shitty casual game Diablo 3 where the entire game could be replaced by a spreadsheet and numbers.

Nearly half a million Americans suffer from congestive heart failure (CHF), a condition where the heart loses the ability to efficiently pump blood.
As pumping action decreases, blood collects in other areas--including the liver, lungs and gastrointestinal tract—and the body's key organs stop receiving oxygen and essential nutrients. Symptoms can include:
- Weakness or exhaustion with little exertion
- Shortness of breath
- Rapid weight gain
- Swelling in abdomen, ankles or feet
- Confusion or trouble concentrating
- Dizziness or fainting
- Racing or irregular heartbeats
The most common causes of heart failure are high blood pressure and coronary artery disease (for example, if you have had a heart attack). Heart failure becomes more common with advancing age. You area also at increased risk for developing heart failure if you are overweight, have diabetes, smoke cigarettes, abuse alcohol or use cocaine.
While there is no cure for CHF, it can be managed when diagnosed early. Key lifestyle changes, including reducing salt intake and increasing physical activity, can help a CHF patient live a relatively normal life. Taking prescribed medications and keeping doctor's appointments also are important. And in some cases, CHF may require open-heart surgery to correct an underlying problem.
Free classes
To help congestive heart failure patients and their caregivers manage the disease, Western Baptist Hospital offers Understanding Heart Failure, a series of educational classes.
Participants may attend one or all of the four weekly classes. There is no charge, but advance registration is required.
- A physician will discuss heart failure, its causes and available treatments.
- A pharmacist will explain what medications are needed and why.
- A dietitian will provide information about your diet—not only what you cannot eat, but also what you can eat.
- A nurse will answer any questions.
For upcoming classes or more information, phone Baptist Health Line at (270) 575-2918 or visit westernbaptist.com.

Hey, I just read a channelling that further describes what's going on right now. OOOH! Feel the squeeze.... lol
Channeler: Marie Mohler A Message from Source Creator, Channeled Through Marie Mohler: Cosmic Wash Cycles and Cosmic Cleansings Dear One, It is I, Mother/Father God, Source Creator of the Heart of All Things. Dear One, it is a time of fluctuation you see. A time of cleansing energies and renewal. In the cleansing, all things must go through the wash cycle if you will. They get wet, they fill with soap, and are agitated, to release dirt and debris, to then be spun and rinsed clean and free. This is a Cosmic Wash Cycle, that is continuing for many, and just beginning for some. And some of you are feeling the spin cycle at about this point. Feeling the quickening, and rapid release of all that is not to accompany you in the new paradigm of New Light. Dear One – all in this cleansing process will come out of its wash cycle . . . better and brighter than before. But as you know with laundry, some comes out bright white, crisp, free, and ready . . . and some needs another go of it in the wash, to clean yet another layer of accumulated stains and debris. This is how evolution goes. It is a process. Not a destination dear one. So for those eager for the bright light and white of the clean, enjoy and embrace that part of the cleansing process too. Openly feel gratitude for the whitening of things long since heavy with gray. In that gratitude, is the magic of present moment timing . . . and the power of faith and trust in the process. The earth is undergoing more and more cosmic changes and effects on a daily cycle. This summer, it may some days feel more and more like the spin cycle . . . as the quickening does its work to shake debris free. The quickening doesn't have to be frightening or uncomfortable. It's just the phase of cycle that goes deep within every fiber . . . to release any must . . . any darkness . . . any shadow . . . that may try to evade the Light. Just as no laundry can escape the wetness of the rinse cycle, there is no particle of your being that can evade the brightness of the Purifying Light upon your planet. All cells will shake loose their dirty laundry if you will. When/if the Light is allowed to purify, the wash will come out bright and clean. Almost effortlessly. If not, there may be resistance and thus struggle . . . and the fibrous cells may try to hold onto the must and debris . . . that has so long filled its center, core, and vacuum. This is a major spring cleaning if you will, of heart, mind, body, and spirit. You start at the top, and continue downwards until all particles gleam with a heart-centered, heart-woven, and heart-opened divine shine. Allow the spin cycle now dear one. For some, it will feel agitating. For others, it will feel liberating and free-ing. In the allowance, the cosmic energies are your caretakers and stewards of your new Light Bodies. Trust in Source to be your Cosmic Cleaner. As debris rises up to release in the rinse cycle, let the waters calm and soothe any tendency to resist. Allow the purifying waters to reclaim any energies not of Light . . . to become Light again. And out of this cleaning dear one, each being on earth will shine with a new cleansed magnetism that as yet . . . is only barely imaginable. But it is True. It is the Way. It is the process unfolding for All now. Trust the process. Trust in the Source of all the Cleansing. Trust the Light and the Water to be your Ally. And Cleansed Abundance, Joy, Peace, Unity, and Light will be your experience. All my Love, Dear One. Bright Lights are Shining dear one, as Love calls each and every being Home in the Heart of One, and the Heart of Love in All That Is.

Here's a nice channeling and observation message from Sue who had to work through her darkest moment. It also teaches us about living on Venus between lives and before we came to Earth. Also, I posted a comment to let her know that the real Zetas did not abduct her. My comment follows the message.
A DAY WITH VENUS (After I had my healing experience, I could barely stay awake, so I was unable to post this article until today. This is the same thing that happened to me after the Eclipse. Perhaps many of you have had that experience of going so deeply into the higher dimensions that you can no longer stay "awake" to the physical one. Interestingly, first we must learn to "stay awake" to our higher SELF and now we must remember how to "stay awake" to our physical self. Below is my experience. After "sleeping on" my experience, I added more to it this morning.) 6-5-12 I want to remember, I want to remember, are the words that I woke up with this morning. I want to totally release my abduction experience so that it will longer stand in the way of fully experiencing my reality on the Starship. I know that I have a reality on Athena Starship, I think, but my experience of it is very fussy. When I go inside to ask why it is not clearer, I always hear that it is because of the trauma I still hold of being abducted on the Zeta Ship. Yesterday I found a message from the Arcturians about my abduction that I received back on December 12, 2010 that totally validates my experience. Even when I wrote and read the message, I still totally forgot it. I do not want to forget what is frightening any more. It is holding me back to have any secrets from my self. I am ready to totally remember and release this, and all, trauma that has haunted me my entire life! Dear Arcturians, Please answer my questions: 1) Do we need to go into the terror part of a traumatic event in order to release it? 2) I think that I have been pretty dark/frightened/angry the last couple days. Is this behavior part of my process of remembering and release? 3) My dreams this morning were continuous visions about my clearing process. Even though I woke up say, "I want to remember," I can't remember them. Can you please assist me with all of these questions? Dear Suzille, We, your Arcturian Family, will happily assist you with all of your questions. Therefore, we will assist you to remember, through the flow of our consciousness that which you are experiencing in your higher states of consciousness, such as being on our Starship. We are, also, fully aware that you are trying to remember how to totally connect your Third Dimensional Operating System to your Multidimensional Operating System. We will begin with that unasked question, as it is the root of all your questions. In order to connect your Third Dimensional Operating System with your Multidimensional Operating Systems you need to release that which is in-between them. Subconscious fear creates a firewall in your deep subconscious mind that automatically rejects any information that might activate that forgotten trauma. Therefore, to allow the full multidimensional light and unconditional love to flow into your physical brain and through out your entire body, you must heal and release any archived and forgotten fear/darkness that are still archived in your deepest subconscious. We say deepest subconscious, as the fear stored there is the furthest from you daily life and the easiest to ignore. On the other hand, the fear/darkness that is stored in your deep subconscious mind acts like a sniper hidden in a tree that shoots you when you are least aware. Only the Openers, first ones through the Ascension Portals, need to do this deep work. Once the Portals are all opened, it will be easier for others to follow. Many of the Openers were the ones who came to answer Gaia's call at the fall of Atlantis. These ones have a deep connection to their Star Family, but they also have many traumas buried within their subconscious. They have these buried traumas because they have worked for the forces of light again and again in the darkest of times, only to be punished for revealing their light. Also, only those who have an expanded consciousness, as well as the support of their Star Families higher light, are able to move into past realities in which they were lost to fear and darkness in order to clear them. This brings us to the first question. Yes, there is a certain amount of that "terror" which you will need to confront, mainly because it is leaking to the surface of your consciousness. Hence, we have given the answer to the second question regarding your recent behavior. We Arcturians have assisted our grounded ones before and we are assisting you again at this time of ascension. It is true that you need to release the fear of being abducted to the Zeta ship in order to fully remember your SELF on our Starship. All memories work by association. When you remember one experience, you also remember similar experiences. Hence, your trauma on the Zeta ship stops you from fully remembering you life on our Starship. Hence, you can only remember your life on our Arcturian Ship via an "imagined reality" as opposed to via a "directly experienced" reality. Having a reality be "just your imagination" protects you from remembering the details of the reality. However, if going on a Starship can only be your imagination then any Starship experience would be "only your imagination." Many of our ascending ones cannot fully remember their positive encounters with Galactic Beings, because they don't want to remember their negative galactic experiences. These negative experiences come from abductions, as well as fighting in the Galactic Wars of long ago. Hence, many of our ascending ones have believed they needed to protect themselves from remembering their full Multidimensional SELF. They were afraid that if they activated their full memory, myriad painful experiences also came to the surface. All hidden fear and pain, which it is on Earth or beyond, creates a leakage of uncontrollable, and often unwarranted, fear and/or anger. The Dark Ones have used this hidden fear to control and limit the awakening ones. If all the grounded ones were to clear their hidden dark memories, they would ALL come into their full power, wisdom and love. VENUS TRANSIT Dear Venus has come into your lives again during this transit to guide you Home, past your current physical Sun and into your higher frequencies of reality. Venus carries all the unconditional love that is necessary for humanities full healing. Also, those of you who answered Gaia's Call for assistance during the fall of Atlantis incarnated first on fifth dimensional Venus to gradually step-down your great light enough to be able to incarnate on the deeply-wounded, third/fourth dimensional Earth. In fact, many of you spend lives on Venus in-between your earthly incarnations. On Venus you can "de-brief" from your challenges on Earth. However, we have diverted from our message, so allow us to explain the difference between an imagined reality and a direct experience. An "imagined reality" is based upon your left-brain's third dimensional thinking combined with your right brain's creative process. Because it is based on a creative process, your left-brain chooses to perceive that experience as something that you created rather than an actual "real" experience. To your third dimensional thinking, only that which is perceived via your five physical senses is believed to be "real." When you think multidimensionally, you know that you create every experience. You also know that you have chosen to perceive everything that fills your experiential world. The knowledge that YOU CREATE your reality and that YOU CHOOSE to perceive that which you wish to experience, even in your daily life is a huge responsibility for an un-ascended person. It is that very responsibility that must be owned and used by our ascending ones as a vital component of your ascension. It is necessary to embrace this responsibility in order to fully connect your Multidimensional Operating System into the circuitry of your third dimensional mind. Your Third Dimensional Operating System is actually more of a filter than an operating system because is dis-allows all information that is not perceived via the five physical senses. Therefore, if a reality is experienced by your multidimensional senses, it is automatically categorized as your "imagination," and relegated to an "un-real" experience. This is not a bad thing, as every dimension has its own rules that need to be followed to remain in that dimension. When your 97% DNA was turned off, your world was limited to the third dimension. Furthermore, if anyone dared to perceive any other version of reality, they were witches, crazy or trying to fool you. When you have a "terrifying" experience, it leaves a psychic scar on your body, in your brain, and in your aura. However, "going through the terror" does not mean the terror that you felt during your experience. Going through the terror means that in order to multidimensionally perceive your experience, you will have to accept that YOU created that experience and YOU chose that experience. That can be a terrifying act if one has not yet taken responsibility for the reality they are choosing to live. Dear Venus is here to remind you that YOU are up to that task. When you prepared for 3D incarnation on Her body, and when your rested on Her planet in-between your Earth lives, you de-briefed from the experiences of your Earth lives in polarity while deeply enjoying the love and beauty of her higher frequency realities. While in the safety of Venus' reality you were able to remember that all traumas are merely "negative energy patterns" that were created in your consciousness during your challenging incarnations on Gaia's planet of polarity. Fortunately, when trauma can be viewed as a negative energy pattern, it is much easier to clear. Allow us to remind you how your "cleaned your consciousness" in your "in-between," R&R incarnations on higher dimensional Venus. We will assist you right now to release your negative energy pattern by taking you to the Violet Temple on Venus: THE VIOLET TEMPLE ON VENUS Take three long, slow, deep breaths to calibrate your consciousness to the higher frequencies of your imagination… Imagine that you are now walking, which is more of a sensation of floating on 5D Venus, across the beautiful landscape of Venus. On Venus the sky is often a warm yellow glow and the ground is so filled with life that IS happy that you are floating-over rather than walking-on the earth. We begin our journey to the Violet Temple on the Shores of Pink Sand upon which the Waters of Liquid Light gently caress. As you relax against a huge tree-shaped Being, as all life is alive here, you see the Red Mountains in the distance and smell the sweetness of all life. Eventually, you feel the urge to visit the Violet Temple. Hence, you arise from your posture of lying against the tree and thank it for its shelter. You turn toward the Path to the Temple and float up the hill to huge green area of "living lawn" that surrounds the Temple. Before you is the Violet Temple, which is surrounded by the floating gardens. The Elementals and Devas of Venus constantly tend this garden. This familiar vision of Venus's immense safety expands your consciousness to encompass your multidimensional SELF, and you instantly find yourself within one the many healing room. You take a moment to FEEL the safety of your environment, SMELL the beautiful flowers that live within that room, RELAX onto your couch of light and EXPAND your consciousness. You can feel the trauma that you wish to heal resonating within you. Because you have done so much to release this wound, it no longer hurts you, but only tickles. The familiar environment of Venus's Violet Temple allows you to remember to send your uncoditional love into this wound that has diminished your ability to remember your SELF. Because you are beyond time and space, you can lie on the couch and, simultaneously, stand beside you form in order to fully examine your earth vessel As you look into your aura, you see the circuitry of fear that has collected around the wound you have come to heal. You must clear this fear before your healing will be complete. The best way to heal the fear is to change the purpose of this wounding. Instead of allowing this wounding to be a block to your multidimensional memories, you will allow it to be a portal for multidimensional memories. We say this, because you have likely created similar wounds in your myriad incarnations on 3D Earth. Remember, even though your earth vessel is different, you are the same Soul in every incarnation. As you see the wound before you, you can see the disunite circuitry, as well as how it is attached to your consciousness and aura. That which disallows memories resonates to the lowest frequency of red light. See the area of red light, dampened by streaks of grey and black and focus your attention on breathing the blue light of Divine Love and Guidance into the dirty red of your wounding. You observe as the blue light changes the grey streaks into pure red. Then, combining the blue light with the clear red light, you observe how the red and blue create purple. You then breathe the light pink of unconditional love into the wounding to transmute the purple to violet. The frequencies of blue, Divine Love, and clear red, Vitality, combine to create the color purple/violet to Transmute any substance into a higher frequency. Now, imagine that the entire wound is resonating to the violet color/frequency. Do you see how you have transmuted something that has stopped your awakening into something that assists your awakening? Now, meditate for as long as necessary so that you can re-boot your neural system to this new configuration. (This is were I became useless for the rest of the day and watched Star Trek so I could be on a Starship.) The above process can be used to transmute any trauma at an energetic level. In other words, you can perceive the area of your brain and/or body that resonates to lower frequency of physical or psychological wounding to see the emanation of red light. Then breathe blue light onto that area to create the violet light of transmutation. Any area of your body that holds trauma creates resistance, as resistance is a form of protection for that wounded area. When you give Divine Love to the red "stop sign" of resistance, which is actually your protection against further wounding, the blue merges with the red to create the violet of transmutation. Then, whenever you experience the tickle of psychological or physical wounding, you can transmute that wound into an inter-dimensional portal through which you can constantly receive healing. DREAMS We will now address the third question about your dreams. Many of our ascending ones had and are having ascension dreams. Ascension dreams are dreams in which you process and/or practice the many aspects of ascension. One aspect is the clearing of old fears/darkness to facilitate your potential to Flash into Lightbody. Many of you have had brief experiences—rehearsals—of Flashing into your higher expression of Lightbody. However, do not forget that your multidimensional Lightbody also carries the potential to create a physical form when it is necessary. Your physical form was always a matrix, just like physical Earth. It is the matrix that will be carried within your Lightbody so that you can "go to work" on Matrix Earth (the fourth dimensional expression of Gaia) to assist those who are still in the process of ascension. There are many who have been so weakened by the intense darkness of polarized Earth that they need more of the illusion of time and physicality before they can heal enough to ascend. Just as we, your Galactic Family, assists you in your ascension, you will assist your fellow members of physical Earth. In this manner, the student will become the teacher for the un-awakened to awake. Therefore, remember your process in detail for you will be teaching it to others. There are many different expressions of Earth's humanity. Therefore, there will be many expressions of human ascension. Each of the ascended ones will become an inspiration and instructor for those who resonate to your expression of reality. In this manner, first you LEARN, then you DO, then you TEACH. You will all be wonderful Ascension Teachers for those less fortunate and/or less diligent than yourself. As I have been going about my day with the release of a deep "terror" I did not know I concealed, I have been seeing all the small ways in which my fear was expressed as impatience, judgment, and other expressions of low-grade anger—which was really fear. Since I was 7 years old, I have hidden this secret from myself. Which secret is that I ask myself, as I remembered that I was abducted. Oh, I answer, the secret was that it was REAL, that I created it and I chose it. Why did I wan to do such a thing as create and choose that experience?" asks the wounded ego as a component of her healing. "Because," say the healing one moving towards ascension, "We had to remember. We had to remember that we were more than just a little third dimensional. We had to keep a secret from our self so that we would not get in the daily life of the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. We chose and created that experience before we took a form so that we would always keep looking inside to find out why we were so lonely, so different, so depressed. Then when we found out, we couldn't allow our self to believe it. We, the ascending ones, chose different dramas that somehow matched our Mission. Now, that we are ready to go deep, deep, deep into our hidden archives, we can realize how courageous we are to have chosen so many challenges in one lifetimes—just so that we would NOT forget. Therefore, we thank each and every one of our challenges for they have been our awakeners. Our challenges, the red frequencies of wounding in our mind, body and aura can now all be filled with our blue Divine Love to transmute them into the Violet Fire that will activate our full personal and planetary ascension. *** Since my visit to the Violet Temple, I have been seeing all the small ways in which my fear was expressed as impatience, judgment, and other expressions of low-grade anger—which was really fear. Since I was 7 years old, I have hidden a secret from myself. Now I know that my abduction was chosen by me before I was even born. Why would I want to choose that experience?" asks the wounded. "Because," says the healing one moving towards ascension, "We had to remember. We had to remember that we were more than just third dimensional children. Therefore, before we took form we chose and created an experience that we would keep us looking inside to find out why we were so lonely, so different, so depressed. Then when we found out, we couldn't allow our self to believe it. We, the ascending ones, chose different dramas that somehow matched our Mission. Now, that we are ready to go deep, deep, deep into our hidden archives of wounding, we realize how courageous we were to have chosen so many challenges in one lifetime—just so that we would NOT forget our SELF Therefore, we thank each and every one of our challenges for they have been our awakeners. Our challenges, the red frequencies of wounding in our mind, body and aura can now all be filled with our blue Divine Love to transmute them into the Violet Fire that will activate our full personal and planetary ascension.

Hi David. Grisely business. Publishing houess are sadly mostly controlled by the fat controllers'. I am coming out with a book any day and decided to publish myself as I'm only too aware of what sharks many publishing houess are they steal from their authors. I see from above that someone has traced her publisher. Really, Virginia needs to contact them and demand to know what is going on. If all else fails, just threaten them with bad publicity it usually works. Threaten to go to a book magazine or some such, (the Bookseller over here in the UK). The fat controllers' will do almost anything to avoid lack of business credibility. There is a hidden agenda here, of course, which is that the fat controllers' do not want the world to hear any success stories about people healing from HIV and AIDS there is that to be aware of. I come from a publishing family and understand how the machine works. Virginia needs to make lots of noise. If she doesn't have it in her to do that, then she needs to find someone how can. Warmest regards, Charly Flower, Medicine Woman
I was speaking with someone who was about to commit suicide because of the intensity of all of this. All these alignments and transits are a MAJOR occurrence and is the reason the Myans knew this was a turning point in our timeline. Please read this channeling as it will explain a lot for many people.
Channeler: Dana Mrkich Monday, 4 June, 2012 We are in the midst of back to back planetary alignments right now that are simultaneously propelling us into a whirlwind of unprecedented evolutionary acceleration and leaving many of us on our backs literally thanks to the resulting clearing process. This clearing process is happening faster and on a deeper level than any we've experienced so far. It doesn't involve pages of journaling or taking yourself off to the nearest healer. It is happening naturally to every aspect of our energy bodies, our physical body, our cells, our DNA and our lives whether we are conscious of it or not, ready or not. This is all happening due to a 'perfect storm' of alignments, as prophesised to be occurring now by the Mayans, Native Americans and other ancient and modern wisdom keepers. This 'storm' is an extremely positive phase of our evolution, yet it is also challenging in the same way that any major leap from one phase of your life to another can be. It requires a new level of maturity, a new level of responsibility and a new level of awareness, triggered by our ascent into a new level of consciousness for the purpose of experiencing a new level of reality. As Earth experiences one alignment after another this year, it is like the ball in a pinball machine going ping, ping, ping, ping – with each alignment/contact a doorway or portal opens, allowing a rush of cosmic/galactic energy to flood onto our planet, energy that we haven't had access to for at least 26,000 years if not longer. Just like a poker machine, sometimes you are lucky enough to get a few apples in the same row, or even a few going diagonally or vertically. This 'perfect storm' is akin to the apple landing in every space in all directions! Ding ding ding ding ding!! It is the jackpot of all jackpots, so huge in fact that we can't even possibly conceive right now what it will mean for us. Imagine a massive king wave that rushes into shore, dragging back out into the ocean loads of debris. It whooshes in and out over and over again, repeating the process, until eventually it stops and there is stillness. As we look around only that which is strong, true and real remains. We are experiencing these waves now, only they are not ocean waves, they are galactic waves and solar waves brought to us thanks to these alignments. These waves are clearing our planet, and us, of debris. For those who are feeling completely depressed right now about the state of the world, we are witnessing the uprising of a massive load of debris that was always there only now we are seeing the heightened, amplified, intensified version. As the clearing process happens, this debris is in our face which is an uncomfortable thing, but a good thing. How can we create a new reality if we don't know what we are dealing with to start with? If there is rubbish hidden under the carpet, it is important to know about it before you go around re-decorating your home. This debris is being cleared on all levels: personal, social, global. These clearings have left many of us literally on our backs over the last couple of weeks, recurring again in these days prior to the Lunar Eclipse and Venus Transit, manifesting as cold and flu symptoms when you haven't been sick in years, extreme tiredness, body aches and pains and generally low in energy. Clearing can happen easier when we are sleeping or resting, so sometimes we are forced to nap or take it easy (by way of not feeling well) so that whatever energetic work needs to happen can happen without us getting in the way. With this current lot of clearings however, only some of it is our personal stuff, and some of it belongs to other people who aren't owning their own personal clearing process. We are now in the times of needing to be 100% aligned with our higher energies and that can be really difficult for those who haven't addressed major issues within themselves. The debris some are having to face right now is a bit like a dump truck dumping decades worth of rubbish at their front door. People who've been on this path for a long time tend to have a 'healer' personality, so subconsciously send out vibes saying "Don't worry! I'll help you! I'll take some of it on for you!" This is a big no no right now! It is not helping that person, and it is not helping you. Going through our rubbish has strengthened us, it has allowed us to know ourselves, it has been a vital part of our evolutionary process. 'Saving' someone from their rubbish is denying them the gold that they will find there. We are specifically talking about processing other people's emotional stuff for them. We do this when we judge others, when we feel 'bad' for someone, when we get angry that they are doing xyz instead of abc. Let it go. How do you know whether your aches and pains or tiredness is your stuff or another person's stuff? Personal clearing ultimately feels nurturing, even if you are stuck in bed with ten boxes of tissues next to you, you deep down know "My body needed this." You feel like you are letting something flow through you, even if it's a tad uncomfortable. When you are clearing on behalf of other people it ultimately feels draining and there is a niggling feeling that something doesn't feel right. It feels like you are resisting something that is trying to flow. If you are not sure at any time, it's a good idea to ask "if this is not mine please leave/please go back to your rightful owner". (repeat 100 times if you need to!) It is also good to affirm "I am 100% ...your name...nothing more, nothing less." May 20/21 Solar Eclipse This Solar Eclipse was a once in 26,000 year event as the Earth, Sun and Moon aligned with Alcyone, our Central Sun in the Pleiadian Star System. Aligning with this super high-vibrational star is like turning the dial on a safe and hearing that click as you get the right code and the door opens. This stardoor is taking us to our next level personally and collectively, flooding our bodies and our planet with the energy of Alcyone - which for many here is the energy of Home. During the eclipse, and now anytime after it, you may feel your cells tingling and something within you coming alive and awakening. The Alcyone alignment is like someone pressing the right pin code to activate our next phase of remembering. If you have been feeling 'on hold', like your old work is gone or on pause but the new is yet to start, you may start receiving strong feelings about what you are supposed to do next, and what you can best do to support our planet and humanity as we turn the corner into a new evolutionary chapter. For some their new mission will not start till 2013, so while that seems forever away knowing this will help any feelings of frustration. This is true for many who have spent years serving others. This is a year of making sure everything is in balance so if you feel you have been given a time out from your work ask yourself: Do I need to serve myself a bit more? Do I need to take care of my Self a bit more? This doesn't mean more self-help, it more refers to allowing yourself to enjoy life on this planet: have more fun, more time in nature, more time with friends and family, more time doing grounded things like cooking and gardening and creative pursuits for the sheer joy of it. As a result of this alignment we will also start to actively experience more of our multi-dimensional abilities including telepathy, magical synchronicity, heightened intuition, a clearer connection with loved ones who have passed on as well as with our non-physical star families and more conscious awareness of why things are how they are. June 5/6 Venus Transit By now everyone will know that on June 5/6 we are going to experience the second half of a once in 114 year Venus transit. They come in pairs eight years apart – the first was in 2004. Venus transits on their own, just like eclipses on their own, aren't responsible for shifting the entire consciousness of a planet. However, when we experience a 'perfect storm' of alignments – an Alycone eclipse, a Venus transit, alignment with the Galactic Centre to name a few – this sets up the conditions that led the ancients to foresee that these times would herald great change upon this planet, a great awakening. If the Alcyone eclipse was about our souls' awakening, the pair of Venus transits is about the Divine Feminine awakening. This awakening doesn't just apply to women. It is about the Divine Feminine in all of us. So much of that which is ruled by the Divine Feminine – intuition, feelings, creativity, birth, the healing arts and living from the Heart – has been repressed for so long. We have collectively been living with an unbalanced Feminine, and a dominating, unbalanced Masculine energy. The process of addressing this balance has already started but after the June 5/6 Transit we will see it accelerate. You can see it now most obviously in arenas like politics where the people are taking a stand against controlling dictators and dishonest, corrupt government representatives. For too long we have shrugged our shoulders with a kind of 'that's just how it is in politics' mentality, but a surge of empowerment is filling humanity, reminding us that this may be how it has been, but it is not how it is supposed to be. People are looking for honesty and transparency in their leaders, and want someone who speaks and acts from the heart. The old ways of working just aren't going to work anymore, and this will leave many of the old guard confused because they'll wonder why people aren't responding to them as they used to! On a personal level, the Venus transit is happening during a Venus Retrograde so it's a doubly whammy message to ask yourself: What are you worth? How do you treat yourself? How do you allow yourself to be treated? What do you value? Do you spend time on things/people you value, or have you been distracted by the old Masculine energy that came from the head? Note: there is nothing wrong with Masculine energy or using our minds! What is changing now however is the way we related to our (out of balance) Masculine energy that put sole or primary focus on the mind/logic, ignoring our feelings and intuition about what we really want to do. 2013 and beyond will be about what we really want to do – rather than what we feel we should do, or are supposed to do, or 'have a mission' to do. This has obviously already started for everyone who has left jobs, relationships and geographical locations to follow their heart into the great unknown. Experiencing all of these alignments can feel a bit like you are standing in front of a giant tunnel with the wind blowing 1000 miles an hour at you - exhilarating yet at the same time it's all you can do to hang on without collapsing. During the Alcyone eclipse they clarified this to say – moving toward your centre feels like 1000 mile an hour winds, moving away from your centre feels like 1000 mile an hour winds, but IN your centre is where you will find your zero point; the stillness, the quiet, the clarity, the uncongested connection to Source. Being in our centre, in our truth, in our authenticity, in our WHOLEness whatever that includes and whatever that looks like, is our sanctuary right now. (c) Dana Mrkich 2012.

I found a channeling that describes perfectly what I've been experiencing and its a beautiful thing. The new is really starting to pick up the pace now and things are starting to get very exciting!
Channeler: Lauren C. Gorgo THE STAGES OF reBIRTH BY Lauren C. Gorgo It's difficult to imagine that the last 10+ years of spiritual, mental, emotional and physical clearing could eventually give way to a new (human) experience…but this is exactly what the Pleiadians insist is happening as I write this. The lunar eclipse mid-way portal point is today (June 4th), and we have just completed the first level integration of the photonic infusion from the recent solar eclipse…which was a biggy. Lots of karmic residue surfaced over the last two weeks and so you may have noticed loads of letting go as you said goodbye and/or made peace with many past encounters during what the sisters termed our "final life review". Simultaneously, our new operating system was booted and since May 20th we have been scanning and testing for bugs and glitches in the initial set of operations required for living a 5D life in a 3D world. Over and again we were presented with opportunities to buy into a false reality that we be-lie-ved to be true in the past, but if you were diligent in your detachment and simply observed these past creations, then those old thought-forms most likely flew right by you with little or no temptation to grab onto them or make them real again. If you bit the bait, then hopefully you noticed the trap right away and returned to your heart-space. If you are only realizing it now, still good. All roads lead to Rome, as they say…the point is that we get and stay here now, untethered and free from the past so we can fully embrace the present and begin to co-create our future. Free At Last When I awoke on the morning after the solar eclipse I was greeted with a welcome message from the Seven Sisters…something to the tune of "this is officially the first day of your new life!". I was tempted to discount it and focus instead on the crippling pain in my lower back, but I quickly remembered a very vivid and relevant dream I had minutes before… I was floating on a placid pond with an old friend from childhood who I haven't seen or talked to in nearly 2 decades when suddenly, out of nowhere, a fast moving current came and swept me away. As I was whirling downstream I could see hundreds of other people that I did not know trying desperately to stay afloat as we were whipped into the bends and swirls of the rapids. What was most interesting is that when I looked back, I realized that somehow my friend from the "past" did not come with us, she was still floating on the still water as if nothing had changed…and then I woke up. It was at that moment I realized that we had officially been squeezed into what the sisters had referred to in the first 5D report as the death/birth canal…that we were aggressively picking up speed and headed, heart-first, toward our brand new life. The rare May 20th eclipse coupled with all the Pleiadian energy from the alignment with our central Sun, Alcyone, served to literally and figuratively remove the shackles from our past, whereas today's lunar eclipse is closing the cycle of completion so that tomorrow, on the Venus eclipse/transit Sun, we can begin a new journey of the heart. All of this is right in time for the upcoming solstice which promises to kick a group of us square out of our nests. Even tho most people are fixated on the 12-21-12 solstice timeline, from the perspective of the Pleiadians, it is the June solstice that is the official take-off and heralds phase II of ascension for wayshowers…this is the balance-point that begins the co-creation of the new world. However it manifests, June in general is a jam packed month of celestial happenings that I can barely wrap my head around…which is probably for good reason…and the next three weeks the sisters say we would benefit from focusing on our embodiment process… more specifically, on birthing our new (christed) human template. Time of Renewal For some, the physical clearings and cellular mutation has been unrelenting since 2012 began. I personally noticed the physical challenges multiply soon after the 11:11:11 gateway when Mars (all things physical) moved into Virgo (purity/healing), and for me those challenges seemed to r.e.a.l.l.y intensify when Mars went retrograde at the end of January. For those struggling with this alignment process it has required a dogged determination to stay connected to our higher purpose and calling and unfortunately, it's not quite over yet. Mars is direct now, but still in its shadow period so for the most part we are still dealing with wayward elements in our lives and bodies (read:slogging thru mud). The sisters do say tho that the pace will pick up significantly toward the end of the month when Mars finally leaves his shadow behind. And how. As always, there's nothing to do but BE. It's time to open to the flow of this powerful month of change by leaving the past behind, loving ourselves fully, keeping our minds/hearts open and clear, and releasing any resolute expectations around what this passage will bring so that it can reveal itself fully and completely. We don't really know what's on the other side of this magnificent, life-changing portal… and that's the excitement of it all! If we can anticipate what's to come with the wonderment of a child by allowing the rest of this unprecedented passage to surprise us, it will undoubtedly take us well beyond any perceived limitations we once honored and into the full-on creation of our wildest dreams. It is time to be transformed into who we truly, authentically are. Source: http://lightworkers.org/channeling/160871/stages-rebirth

TAG! You're it! lol The Arcturian Group (TAG for short lol) sent this channeling to teach about how you need to remove your karma. Anything or anyone that you feel a strong feeling of negativity towards or a feeling that you can't live without something or someone, are examples of attachments. Those need to be cleared as they cannot come with you when you ascend. Some of you might have heard me talking about how if you feel love equally to everyone in existence, then you don't feel sad when you loose someone whom you feel extreme love for, as you love everyone to the max. This plays into that. Love everyone to the max, so you never get attached to anyone. The pain happens when you loose that extreme bond of love, but when everyone gives you that intense love and you give them intense love, you don't feel pain when someone transitions through death. You simply acknowledge that they decided to move onto the next place they were meant to go. OK, so here's the channeling from The Arcturian Group.
Channeler: Marilyn Raffaele JUNE 3, 2012 Dear Ones, we greet you in this new month of June which will prove to be a month of many intense energies. You may feel many more symptoms physically , emotionally, and mentally as the powerful new frequencies come into your experience--uplifting and changing all that is finished. Be not afraid as you experience these new energies. We cannot emphasize that enough dear ones, for many still fear the unknown which then in turn holds them in bondage to that which they have always known regardless of how unpleasant it may be. We see many awakening each day and many more beginning to question what has been told to them by the news, and the government. People are beginning to recognize, listen, and trust their intuition which is a sign of change within human consciousness. We applaud you for seeking the deeper truths in spite of continuing appearances and teachings that have held you in bondage for so long. Soon you will find yourselves to be the teachers, helping those who have no idea about what is going on in the changing world and who are tending to go into fear. You will help them to understand the new energies now manifesting as the outer, and also why that which has always been, can be no more. Many are choosing to leave at this time. Do not mourn them, but wish them well in their journey back home, for each and every one of you has been given the choice of staying or leaving for the dimensional shift. You know there is no death, no reason to sink into fear and sadness for those choosing to leave for they are simply moving to another place. Those on the other side can always hear you. Send them love and light, but do not consistently engage them, for that serves to hold them in bondage to the earth and the energy they have chosen to leave. It holds them back from proceeding with their own journey. If someone leaves you with unfinished business, it is appropriate for you to remove any energetic cords, forgive if needed, send love, and consider the issue closed. Unfinished business involving forgiveness can often hold the loved one back because they need closure as much as those left behind. Closure is always possible whether both are in body or not. Karmic issues are being opened and resolved for everyone choosing to ascend. Whether one or several, these issues that you have carried with you from other lifetimes must be brought to completion now. If there is a person or circumstance in your life that has always made you uncomfortable, angry, fearful, or some other negative emotion it is probably a karmic issue that you still carry and are now ready to resolve. Because of the ever increasing energy intensity on earth at this time, these old issues must be resolved in order for evolution to take place. Simple avoidance of lower resonating issues stored within physical cellular memory, emotional body, or mental beliefs will serve to keep you in that energy and you cannot carry it with you into the higher. If you have sincerely tried to resolve some discord, and have been met with a refusal to cooperate, you can complete the karmic energy bond without the other person. In your quiet time visualize any energetic cords still attaching you to this person being removed as you express your intention that they be removed. See yourself lovingly handing them back to the person and state with love and recognition of your true identity; "As a Divine being, I release you and all old and finished energy back into the light. I hold you no longer in any bondage or obligation to me and salute you as Divine Being also." This is only an example, you can say whatever words resonate with your intention because intention is the key to all change and growth. Releasing energy cords does not mean that you suddenly forget everything that may of occurred, it means that the issue no longer holds you and hopefully them, in bondage to that which is old and finished. Energetic cords can also manifest where there is too much togetherness or bonding, such as with a parent and child, or partners. These too must be removed. Whenever the person of your karmic resolution comes into your thought, send them light, then let any thoughts of them go for you can recreate (you are creators) by giving life to these thoughts. The other may never resolve it in this lifetime, but that is not your concern, for once you have released it you have done all you can do. Often an individual will wait for the other person to respond to their overtures, and find themselves waiting a lifetime. If the other is not receptive or ready that is his issue and not yours. It is very important at this time to complete all karmic issues and move into the frequencies of unconditional love. Karma is a third dimensional energy of duality and separation and you are all quickly moving beyond this way of resolving issues, but there is residue from the many lifetimes you have lived in the old energy that needs to be cleared. Many are beginning to find that things that used to give much pleasure, no longer resonate in the same way--friends, TV shows, movies, books, entertainment of all sorts, interests, foods, etc. This is normal as your energy has changed and is no longer resonating with these things. Many find themselves without any friends at some point. This causes the student to question; "Am I on track? Am I doing something wrong?" This Dear Ones, is simply the space between your old resonance and your new. You have left the old, but have not been in the higher long enough to attract those on your new level. Use the time of quiet to meditate, rest more, and practice. Once again, do not go into fear, simply trust that all is proceeding according to plan and remember that no one's plan is exactly the same as another's-- do not compare or hold concepts of what ascension must look like. We love you dear ones. You are putting forth a mighty effort at this time and we applaud you all. Soon you will see much of what has been predicted, made manifest. We are the Arcturian Group 6/3/12 Source: http://lightworkers.org/channeling/160796/arcturian-group-6312
FoxRoar: I think you need to mention their on your site though that those loving bonds we share with people that can NEVER be taken away or severed... It's not only that people get too attached, it's that they feel as though they are LOSING something if someone die or if they leave them! But that connection is ALWAYS present and you always have that person with you if you know how to acknowledge and contact them yeah know? ;3 And even if you do happen to lose touch for whatever reason? You WILL meet again... It's not the end! :3 And yes, in the mean time there are limitless amounts of other people to love equally as much! :3

Thanks for that! It's just the aswner I needed.
I requested a chneanling from Chiara at a time when life felt quite heavy and overwhelming. From the moment I contacted Chiara, my experience was pure peace and upliftment. Chiara has a very calm, reassuring way about her and her aura is very loving. The whole process of receiving the channelled message from request to receiving it was smooth and well managed. When I received the message by email it was just the pill I needed to help me reclaim my personal power. I am deeply grateful to Chiara and the light beings she works with for the guidance.
Greetings, I am from Russia. It is very interesting to me is there smodboey in Russia, who saw and understood these two parts of video called Reptilian agenda ? I have gotten these video-series from some torrent trackers. It's so much similarities, but also differencies in methods of taking over the Russia(the greatest continent of the world) and Africa. The same christianity and then reduction of a russian alphabet and very ancient culture, and then hijacking of all lands, resources, etc. The hideous and terrible Civil war near 1917 in couple with Big Hunger in 1933 and German Nazi war in 1941-1945, and the great country is almost completely destroyed. And it's a true miracle how is it, that it is still alive. What impressed me, is this a coincidence of Credo's explanations about reptilians, chitauri and shapeshifters and fairy tales, from my childhood, of russian writer Bazhov( The mistress of copper mountain and others) he wrote about lizard like shape shifters and their queen and thier relations with people in Ural mountains. It is very old mountains and kind of a sacred place, area of the unknown great civilizations. Now I'm in the end of translating the second part of the video in russian(earlier I made some video-editing operations with video files in order to improve the gaps between them and make these gaps more smooth, and I made subtitles,in English and in Russian for these video series ) but now I have no ability to share this improved video with subtitles somewhere in the internet, because the files are very big(more than 1GB)and I live in a countryside where internet is very slow and expensive.

Search Warrants: an Overview

A search warrant is a type of [[wex:warrant|warrant]] that authorizes law enforcement officers to search a specified place for evidence. Without a search warrant, police officers may not search a place without its owner's consent.
Sources of Law
The [[wex:fourth_amendment|Fourth Amendment]] of the United States Constitution restrict government searches and seizures. The amendment reads:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
In addition to restrictions in the [[wex:fourth_amendment|Fourth Amendment]], several states' constitutions regulate searches and seizures, as do many state and federal statutes. For example, federal laws on searches and seizures appear in Title 18, Part II, Chapter 205 – Searches and Seizures. [[USC:18:Chapter205#content|18 U.S.C. § 3101-18]]. Federal [[wex:warrant|warrants]] are further governed by [[FRCRMP:41|Rule 41]] of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.
Obtaining a Search Warrant
Only judges may issue search warrants. To obtain a warrant, law enforcement officers must show that there is [[wex:probable_cause|probable cause]] to believe a search is justified. Officers must support this showing with sworn statements ([[wex:affidavit|affidavits]]), and must describe in particularity the place they will search and the items they will seize. Judges must consider the totality of the circumstances when deciding whether or not to issue the warrant. When issuing a search warrant, the judge may restrict the when and how the police may conduct the search.
The [[wex:fourth_amendment|Fourth Amendment]] does not require officers seeking a [[wex:warrant|warrant]] to show that the people or places to be searched committed any crime. Rather, they merely need to show [[wex:probable_cause|probable cause]] that the sought-after evidence is there. For example, in [[USR:436:547#content|Zurcher v. Stanford Daily]], 436 U.S. 547 (1978), the Supreme Court allowed police to search a student newspaper, where the newspaper was not implicated in any criminal activity but police suspected it had photographic evidence of the identities of demonstrators who assaulted police officers. However, some jurisdictions responded by passing laws restricting or forbidding these kinds of searches. See, e.g., CA Penal Code § 1524.
Reasonableness Requirement
Courts use a reasonableness test when considering whether a search violates the federal Constitution. This reasonableness test preempts other state and federal laws. Thus, for example, if a "no-knock" entry is unreasonable at the time police execute a search warrant, they must knock and announce their presence, even if they have a no-knock warrant. Similarly, when determining whether to apply the [[wex:exclusionary_rule#content|Exclusionary Rule]] in light of police deviations from warrant restrictions, courts consider whether the search, as actually executed, was unreasonable.
Knock-and-Announce Rule
Normally, law enforcement officers executing a search warrant may not immediately force their way into a residence. Instead, they must first knock and announce their identity and intent. Then, they must wait a reasonable amount of time to allow an occupant to open the door. Only after waiting may the police force entry. This "[[wex:knock-and-announce_rule|knock-and-announce rule]]," however, is not an inflexible constitutional mandate. Instead, it is one of the many factors judges consider when determining whether a search was reasonable. See [[USR:514:927#content|Wilson v. Arkansas]], 514 U.S. 927 (1995).
Police may break the knock-and-announce rule when it is reasonable to do so. These exceptions must be determined on a case-by-case basis. For example, in [[USR:520:358|Richards v. Wisconsin]], 520 U.S. 358 (1997), the Supreme Court ruled that states may not allow a blanket exception to the knock-and-announce rule for all searches in felony drug cases.
No-Knock Warrants
Generally speaking, police officers do not need a special "no-knock" warrant before making a no-knock search. Instead, the search is proper so long as the no-knock entry was not unreasonable. However, police officers may seek a no-knock warrant by showing a judge that the circumstances justify a no-knock entry. Courts reserve these warrants for situations in which a building's owner or occupier could destroy the sought-after evidence by the time law enforcement waits for the owner or occupier to open the door.
In practice, over the past decade, no-knock warrants have seen increasingly frequent use, particularly in drug cases, and especially in major cities. There has been a corresponding increase in the number of innocents accidentally injured or killed by police executing no-knock warrants.
Anticipatory Warrants
An anticipatory warrant grants police officers a warrant that becomes valid after some future triggering condition occurs. Courts reserve these types of warrants for situations in which police have probable cause that at some future time evidence in a particular location will become available. Although United States v. Grubbs presented a challenge to the constitutionality of this type of warrant, the U.S. Supreme Court found that anticipatory warrants do not violate the Fourth Amendment's Warrant Clause. 547 U.S. 90 (2006).
Other Warrants
Police officers may obtain warrants to seize and search electronic storage media or electronically stored information. [[frcrmp: 41|Rule 41]] of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure will govern these searches, starting December 1, 2009. The rules allow officers to copy seized material for later review. The new version of [[frcrmp: 41|Rule 41]] governs these seraches. also allows police officers to plant tracking devices on persons or property.
Timing of Searches
Generally, police officers may only execute search warrants at night in special circumstances. See [[USR:416:430|Gooding v. United States]], 416 U.S. 430 (1974). Different jurisdictions use different definitions of "nighttime." For example, federal law enforcement officers must normally start searches between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. See [[FRCRMP:41#content|Rule 41]] of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. In practice, the special circumstances exception applies most frequently in drug cases.
Extent of Searches
When conducting a search, police may only search the places and people listed on their search warrant, and may only search for the sought-after evidence. Accordingly, officers may only search places where they might reasonably find the evidence. For example, officers searching for a rifle may not look in a small jewelry box.
Search warrants may authorize police to search specific, named people found at the targeted location. However, officers executing a search warrant may detain anyone present during the search. Furthermore, if officers they find sufficient evidence to arrest someone present, they may arrest and search that person, even if the person was not listed on the warrant.
Post-Search Procedural Safeguards
Most jurisdictions impose additional post-search procedural safeguards. For example, many jurisdictions require officers to return a copy of the search warrant to the judge after executing it. This return copy must include information about the search, including a list of what was seized. Similarly, most jurisdictions require officers to give a receipt for seized property. See, e.g., [[FRCRMP:41#content|Rule 41(f)(1)]] of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

External sounds that disrupt your concentration and your sleep are bad enough. But in most cases they are either short-lived or there is some way to escape them or shut them out. But when the noise is inside your head and continuous or nearly so, it could literally drive you crazy.
Such is the case with a disorder called tinnitus (tin-EYE-tus and TIN-uh-tus are correct), a hissing, roaring or ringing of varying volume in one or both ears or in the head that may be steady or intermittent but persistent.
About 17 percent of the general population and as many as a third of the elderly experience it. For some 10 million Americans, the problem is distressing enough to prompt them to seek medical help, and for at least two million, it is so debilitating that they no longer have any meaningful quality of life.
Tinnitus remains a rather mysterious disorder and can present a challenge even to hearing specialists. But far too many people who complain about tinnitus to their physicians are told, inappropriately, ''Just go home and learn to live with it.''
