Panta Rei
Online Reservations
We were going to a 9:45 show at Cobb's Comedy Club and wanted to find a reasonably priced but good restaurant in the area. Panta Rei was a great find! Food was amazing. The Linguine Neri was one of the best pasta & seafood dishes I have ever had. The raviolis that others had were equally good. They have a very reasonably priced wine list of mostly Italian wines. Tiramisu for desert was a winner. 4 people for dinner with splitting an appetizer and a desert,four pasta dishes,a side of asparagus,a bottle of wine and an espresso with sambuca for about $150 including tip! I'd go back here in a heartbeat. I wish it were closer to Pleasanton; I'd eat there weekly! You can't go wrong here and as a Native New Yorker I'm picky about Italian.
Great meal. Very authentic. Lively wait staff. Had the gnocchi with shrimp in a pesto sauce and it was fabulous. Our waiter was crazy running back and forth from table to table. He was a real Italian too! My son had fun talking to him in Italian. Highly recommend this place.
This was about my seventh time to Panta Rei, and it didn't disappoint once again! We had a party of four and all the food was fantastic (filet mignon, gnocchi, sea bass and veal), as well as the dessert of tiramisu!
We went for lunch on a Saturday, we got there just after they opened (they were still printing the menu for the day). We had a craving for pasta, and since it is harder to find good Italian in Southern CA - we indulged at lunch. We had a great seat by the window, there were also several table outside on the sidewalk. Overall it was good. My wife had the three pasta special. The ravioli (cream sauce) and farfel (pink sauce) were excellent. The gnocchi, less so. I had a spinach and sausage fettuccini with a cream sauce (overall, more cream/pink sauces that I would have expected). It was excellent. The bread was fresh baked and had a great texture and was fantastic with the olive oil. I'd like to go again in an evening.
Located in old US Restaurant space where Columbus and Stockton streets meet. Restaurant is small with LOTS of windows, so any seat in the house is great. All staff is very welcoming and friendly. Great place to get a good Italian meal!
My experience with Panta Rei was excellent. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I had a coupon that I realized I couldn't use on Friday night, so the waiter brought a complimentary desert. The carpaccio was delicious and the salmon was cooked perfectly. All in all, a very positive experience and I will go back.
Great place for an outdoor dining. We love dining here with our dog sitting outside watching people go by and enjoying the food.
The menu has so many delicious sounding items it's hard to choose, but you can ask your server (Gianni was ours), who will happily provide suggestions. Gianni is very animated and a delight to be around. The food here is prepared very well, everything I tried was delicious! Would highly recommend. If you're in the main dining room, there's a TV for you to catch the game too.
We tried this restaurant for the first time and thought that the food was wonderful, the staff great and loved the location right in North Beach. We will be returning here soon, next time we are in San Francisco.
superior service, excellent prime rib, $$$$, but she deserves it!
I would definitely recommend Panta Rei to anyone! The food and wine were wonderful.
I have been dining at North Beach (and the entire Bay Area) since 1972 and I can safely say that Panta Rei is the best Italian food for the money in the Bay Area. Their menu is extensive and their desserts are exquisite. The portions are generous. They have a full bar and their house wines are great. I ordered the Caesar Salad and it was fresh and crispy. Their sea bass was cooked to perfection. I ordered the linguini neri and it was delicious. I ordered the Tiramisu which is made inhouse. Try the espresso Martini for dessert. I highly recommend this restaurant. It was my first time and I will go back again. The service is excellent.
With so many Italian restaurants to choose from in North Beach, this IS the one to visit! Save room for the tiramisu!!
Food is creative and tasty with fresh pasta and great sauces. Service is very good as servers usually have big personalities. Nice spot for a romantic dinner or with a small group of friends.
Great dinner with a variety of choices. Sauces were not too heavy, and plenty of meals ranging from pasta to duck, fish, veal, lamb and beef. Tiramisu is excellent as was the chocolate souffle.
Great spot for people watching on Columbus. Good solid Italian food, great waiters, always crowded, so Open Table a reservation! We had well-behaved kids with us, but if you allow yours to wander around, go elsewhere. It's an adult place, and we loved it. The menu has the usual Italian fare, and was better than ordinary but no surprises. The tiramisu is light and delicious.
Don't be fooled by the simple decor. Very authentic Italian food. Staff is very friendly. I would definitely go back.
We arrived a little late but the staff was very accommodating and let us sit by a window in the back. This is a wonderful gem of a restaurant that my husband and I really enjoyed. The ingredients are super fresh and the taste yummy! We both ordered pastas that had a great flavor - they were on the menu as the handmade noodle specials. We also got an appetizer of artichoke spread which was wonderful. It's great how the menu changes daily as it tells me that the chef likes to explore the culinary palate. I've been to many restaurants in the N. Beach area and this by far is now in my top 3 restaurants. The setting was good for people watching and the Italian wait staff was wonderful too! Will definitely go back.
Good food, good service but IMHO overpriced, esp. for that sports bar ambience.
Both the service and food amazing! Will def come back!
I was taken to Panta Rei - a personal favorite - for my birthday. Excellent food, great singing for my birthday!
I always like going to Panta Rei. My favorite entrees are those made of squid ink - pasta, polenta, risotto. Their layered mocha martini is to die for! Service is always great.
Busy, loud with speedy service. Food was very good.
The food is fine. The service is excellent The location is one of the best in north beach
Our evening at Panta Rei marked our first time at the restaurant, and everyone in our party of five had a wonderful time! Our waiter was extremely attentive to our needs without being unduly intrusive. He was also very knowledgeable about each of the items on the evening's menu, and was able to make very insightful recommendations in response to our party's inquiries. The food service was prompt and the portions were very generous and well-prepared. I will definitely return again when the opportunity presents itself!
Food was great! The pastas were al dente where my girlfriend had the duck tagliatelle that was off the charts delicious. I had the gnocchi which was great too, but she just picked the better dish haha! Nice patio tables similar to what you would find in Italy, perfect on a nice afternoon or evening to soak up the city. Plus you can make everyone jealous of the delicious food and wine you're drinking!
As close to eating in a restaurant in Rome as possible in the US - owned by Italians, Italian Chef, Italian waiters. Food was outstanding; and has been every time I have dined there.
Ate here on previous trip to SF and while attending a play in the area. Service is very pleasant and food is good. Very reasonably priced. DH had lasagna which he enjoyed and I had salmon w/asparagus. We shared a clam/mussle appy which was excellent Would definately return when in SF
What a great little restaurant with good food and reasonable prices. The best part is parking garage is just around the corner. The tiramisu is one of the best I've ever tasted and they sing a mean Happy Birthday! I would recommend people to go visit this little gem.
Francesco our server was friendly and attentive. Made us feel like family. We started with sharing a dish of spinach gnochi with salmon and porcini mushrooms that was to die for. Could have had a whole plate just of that. Salmon entree and Lamb Osso Bucco were very tasty. Plentiful portions. Tiramasu for dessert was a top 2 of all the Tiramasu I have ever had. Overall a great dining experience.
I don't know why so many restaurants allow out-of-control noise levels. Panta Rei could easily install simple acoustic damping with small fabric panels hung from the ceiling. Their concrete, pie-slice-shaped room seems large but amplifies the noise. Restaurants that do this, like Firefly, are so much more pleasant for conversation. Lighting in the center of the room is uneven; we asked for a table switch because the harsh light on my seat made me feel like an interrogation was coming.
I was looking for a moderately priced venue to take a first date. A friend suggested that I try Panta Rei, and what a great recommendation! Our reservation was for 7:00pm, and the place was not too busy or loud. We showed up early to grab a drink at the bar and was greeted at the door by a friendly Italian speaking hostess. She walked us to the bar and told us that our table would be ready for us as soon as we were ready to be seated. The bartender who served us was engaging and witty, although, no special drinks here, standard juice mixes. With that being said, the bar atmosphere is nice. Our waiter was very informative and made great suggestions, Pappardelle Verdi All'Anatra and Tagliolini Al Pollo. Will be going back!
They have a great birthday celebration tradition, so if you want a place that will make your birthday boy or girl feel especially special, this is it. Food is great (I had tre pasta which is a perfect choice for someone who can't make up their mind). Also ordered the burrata which, while not as creamy as I had hoped for, was still very good. Loved the hostess and server, and the bussers were on it! Will definitely be coming back to this place the next time I'm craving good Italian food.

WASHINGTON—Major U.S. cities emerged from the financial crisis with increasingly underfunded pension and retiree health-care plans, according to a study released Tuesday.
Cities employing nearly half of U.S. municipal workers saw their pension and retiree health-care funding levels fall from 79% in fiscal year 2007 to 74% in fiscal year 2009, using the latest available data, according to the Pew Center on the States. Pension systems are considered healthy if they are 80% funded.
The growing funding gulf, which the study estimated at more than $217 billion for the 61 cities in the study, raises worries about local finances at a time when states are also struggling to recover from the recession. Property-tax revenue dipped during the housing crisis, straining city finances amid a weak national economy.
While the recession may have exacerbated pension woes, it didn't cause them in most instances, according to the Pew Center, a division of the Pew Charitable Trusts that focuses on state policy. The cities that are the worst off, according to the most recent data, didn't make their full required contributions to their pension systems before the financial crisis.
At the bottom of the cities in the study are Charleston, W. Va.; Omaha, Neb.; Portland, Ore.; and Providence, R.I. Those four cities are funding their pensions at a lower level than Illinois, the state with the worst pension funding, according to the study.
The best-funded cities were Milwaukee and Washington, D.C., which covered 113% and 104% of their liabilities. New York, the best-funded state, funded pension liabilities at 101%, Pew said.
Many cities have begun to make pension reforms, particularly for new hires. The changes include trimming the benefits they offer, raising workers' retirement age or increasing employees' contributions. Some cities with the least-funded pensions, such as Providence, suspended annual cost-of-living increases for retirees for 10 years and shifted older retirees to Medicare.
More than half, or some $118 billion, of the projected pension shortfall stems from unfunded retiree health-care costs. But Pew said health-care benefits are generally easier to change for current employees than pension benefits since courts are less likely to consider them a protected right.
Pension troubles in cities tend to "trickle up," landing on the doorstep of state policy makers, Pew said. For instance, Rhode Island was forced to beef up its aid to distressed towns after Central Falls filed for bankruptcy protection in 2011.
But state involvement can sometimes overburden cities. Louisville, Ky., consistently paid 100% or more of its recommended contribution, but its pension savings kept losing ground because the state required cost-of-living adjustments without ensuring they would be funded.

Hey everyone
I've just done this cover with my acoustic and my electric guitar (it stopped working like 2 years ago, but I tried it last week and it worked!!! )
Well, I don't think I got the right sound with the electric... It's a very very cheap one that I bought 3 years ago just to learn how to play it LOL
Anyways, I hope you like it! :P
btw, I had to come up with different chords in the bridge because i couldn't find the correct ones

Washington, DC Thursday, May 31, 2012
The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security considers the reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Amendments Act of 2008, which allows the National Security Agency to conduct surveillance of Americans' international emails and phone calls.
Last week the Supreme Court agreed to hear the ACLU's challenge to the constitutionality of the law. The plaintiffs include human rights, media and legal organizations. The government claims that the plaintiffs should not be able to sue without first showing that they have, in fact, been monitored under the program – information that the government refuses to provide.
Witnesses include Kenneth L. Wainstein, partner at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, who worked on creation of FISA during his tenure at the Justice Department during the Bush administration, and Jameel Jaffer, director of the Center for Democracy at the American Civil Liberties Union.
Marc Rotenberg, president of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, also testified.
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence voted for the reauthorization last week, which would extend the provision through 2017.
Wisconsin Republican Jim Sensenbrenner chairs this hearing.

During October, fiber artist, Susan Kristoferson, has an exhibition of collages of floral bouquets on the main floor of the Central library. They are composed of the beautiful papers that she makes in her home studio. Her collages reminded me of the wonderful biography of Mary Delany whose work is now housed in the British Museum.
Susan specializes in itajime paper made by a fold-and-dye technique traditional to Japan and painted paste papers. These are contemporary versions of papers used by 17th Century European bookbinders. Last month, she led the altered book workshop at Central. If you missed it here, you still have time to catch it at the branches.
Our collection contains a wide selection of books on paper making and paper crafts and I am blown away by the many lovely and inventive things that can be created with paper.
I first met Susan several years ago when she was a featured artist on the Triangle Gallery's (now MOCA) House + Studio Tour and bought a pair of her earrings.
If you want to try your hand at creating paper jewelry, here are two books to inspire you.
Handmade Paper Jewelry includes a locket covered in fancy gift-wrap paper which encloses tiny photos. Glass beads and a decorative toggle closure enhance the necklace (p. 38).
Creative Paper Jewelry demonstrates the creation of pulp paper beads that are combined with cords, chains and ribbons to make charming and fanciful pieces.

An ongoing discussion about trading county-owned land with a developer hit a snag last Tuesday when magistrates rejected Judge-Executive Steve Cornish's attempt to have the land surveyed.
Developer Doug Dadisman apparently approached the fiscal court several months ago to purchase a strip of land near the Farmers Market on US 127 Bypass, just north of the city.
The Anderson County High School girls' basketball game at Lexington Christian, scheduled for Monday night, has been canceled for the second time. The teams were hoping to play Tuesday night, Feb. 16, but that has been canceled as well.
Any possible make-up date later this week will be posted as soon as it is announced. If games are made up, it must be done before Saturday, Feb. 20 because of district tournament action beginning next week.

Colin Kays is onto something.
He's only 6 and loves basketball, but realizes that the opponent the Anderson County coaches are taking on is tougher than a full-court press.
The schedule says Lexington's Paul L. Dunbar is coming to town to try to knock off the Bearcats. But this is one night when the opponent will be one that does not wear baggy shorts and Nikes.
It's cancer, a foe just as apt to hit Anderson County or Dunbar, or any other team, for that matter, with an equi-lethal blow.
Being cited late last month for alleged illegal use of a blue light apparently isn't the only problem facing an Anderson County constable.
Charles Imel, 40, of 2124 Indian Trail was elected constable in 2006 in the county's 2nd District, which is where Indian Trail is located. But earlier this year Imel used his Indian Trail address when he filed for election in the county's 1st District, according to copies of election filing documents obtained by The Anderson News through an open records request.

Never mind that the songs BCB performs were originally written several decades before its members were born.
Never mind that some of the songs were reworked and parodied in feature films several years before group members could even cry, let alone croon.

July. Baseball.
And these kids could already play that game, advancing to the final four of the Little League state tournament for 9- and 10- year olds.
It was only a taste of what was to come.
A front-page story in last week's Anderson News, "I'm a Preacher," chronicled the return of Corinth Christian Church minister Gene Koons to the pulpit after suffering both a heart attack and stroke just before Thanksgiving.

Anderson County Schools will be closed today, Feb. 15, according to a One Call Now announcement from school officials.

Jacob Russell has been in Anderson County's starting lineup almost his entire four years as a Bearcat, so he knows that his coach, Glen Drury, is quick to deflect accolades heading his way.
Such was the case Friday night after the Bearcats had dispatched of Woodford County. To those of us who follow statistics and records, it was the 400th time that Drury had emerged victorious as a high school basketball coach. To others, it was his 14th win in 18 games this season.
To Drury, it was simply a reflection of those who have been around him the last 24 years.

By Michael Webster: Syndicated Investigative Reporter According to Alan Korwin - Author of Gun Laws Of America http://gunlaws.com says, here it is, folks, and it is bad news. The framework for legislation is always laid, and the Democrats have the votes to pass anything they want to impose upon us. Korwin went on to say, they really do not believe you need anything more than a brick to defend your home and family. He wants you to look at the list and see how many you own. Remember, he said, it is registration, then confiscation. It has happened in the UK, in Australia, in Europe, in China, and what they have found is that for some reason the criminals do not turn in their weapons, but will know that you did. He states for the people to remember, the first step in establishing a dictatorship is to disarm the citizens. Gun-ban list proposed. Slipping below the radar (or under the short-term memory cap), the Democrats have already leaked a gun-ban list, even under the Bush administration when they knew full well it had no chance of passage (HR 1022, 110th Congress). It serves as a framework for the new list the Brady's plan to introduce shortly. He claims that the following is an outline of the Brady's current plans and targets of opportunity. Korwin reports that it is horrific. He says they're going after the courts, regulatory agencies, firearms dealers and statutes in an all out effort to restrict we the people. T Korwin points out that they have made little mention of criminals. He feels now more than ever, attention to the entire Bill of Rights is critical. Gun bans will impact our freedoms under search and seizure, due process, confiscated property, states' rights, free speech, right to assemble and more, in addition to the Second Amendment.

A semiautomatic shotgun with: (i) a folding or telescoping stock, (ii) a pistol grip (see definition below), (iii) the ability to accept a detachable magazine or a fixed magazine capacity of more than 5 rounds, and (iv) a shotgun with a revolving cylinder. Frames or receivers for the above are included, along with conversion kits. The Attorney General according top Korwin gets carte blanche to ban guns at will: Under the proposal,the U.S. Attorney General can add any "semiautomatic rifle or shotgun originally designed for military or law enforcement use, or a firearm based on the design of such a firearm, that is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General." Note that Obama's pick for this office, Eric Holder, wrote a brief in the Heller case supporting the position that you have no right to have a working firearm in your own home. In making this determination, the bill says, "there shall be a rebuttable presumption that a firearm procured for use by the United States military or any law enforcement agency is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, and shall not be determined to be particularly suitable for sporting purposes solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a sporting event." In plain English this means that ANY firearm ever obtained by federal officers or the military is not suitable for the public. He thinks the last part is particularly clever, stating that a firearm doesn't have a sporting purpose just because it can be used for sporting purpose -- is that devious or what? And of course, "sporting purpose" is a rights infringement with no constitutional or historical support whatsoever, invented by domestic enemies of the right to keep and bear arms to further their cause of disarming the innocent. http://examiner.com/article/…first-step-establishing-a-dictatorship-is-to-disarm-the-people

This is part 2 of this story. If you haven't read part 1 yet, see it at: Part 1: This is a beautiful story of how the Pleiadian's path of ascension occurred. VERY BEAUTIFUL!
PART 8: MYTRIA SPEAKS: When Mytre ran away from me, I was sure my heart would break. When I mentioned the Vision Quest I had spoken from within, without hesitation. And now, I have lost him. How could I have used such harsh words? I spent the rest of day inside the cave feeling worse than I could ever remember. How could I go from such wonderful heights of ecstasy and then plummet into deep despair. Had I lost all touch with my inner peace just because I had lost a man? However, he was not just any man. He was my Divine Complement, my Twin Flame. That is what the inner voice said, and my heart agreed. I tortured myself through the entire day and into sunset, when I suddenly had a feeling of deep urgency and pending disaster. Something was about to happen or had just happened to Mytre. I calmed my mind and went inside to speak to the Mother. All I heard was "Send him healing love." Then, I became terrified for that clearly meant that he was injured. But, where was he injured, and how? It was too late to follow his tracks, and I would only get lost myself. All I could do was spend most of the night worrying. Then, I heard the Mother saying, "Drink some calming tea and sleep. You must be alert for tomorrow." I did what she said and finally fell into a fitful sleep. I do not remember any dreams, nor did I get much rest. However, I woke up knowing that he had been injured, and I knew that I must find him. At sunrise, I packed all my healing herbs, poultices, more clothes, food and water. My pack was heavy, and I would not able to run. Therefore, I had to bring some kindling and my fire stones. He had walked off in the direction where the forest ended, and there could be nothing to burn. As soon as it was light enough I started my journey. My pack was heavy and I had to go slowly to read his tracks. Some times there seemed to be no tracks, and I had to stop to consult the Mother. I walked all day, and almost till dark. I had never been to this area, so I had to stop and set up camp. There would be no use in both of us becoming injured. After I had eaten a small meal, I tried to go within, buy my growing fear for his safety did not allow me any information or much sleep. MYTRE SPEAKS: It was mid-day, and I had to find a way to get off this ledge. Another night in the cold without food or water would be far too dangerous for my leg. I had not noticed the large gash in my leg, which was now infected, and I knew I had a fever. If I didn't move, I would pass out again. I had to trust the Inner Voice. I could not abandon Mytria in this way, I could not abandon my duty, and I could not abandon my self. As I looked around, I could see no means of escape. Therefore, I looked inside to ask the Inner Voice. Perhaps I was hallucinating, but as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw the image of my SELF in my Vision Quest. "Follow me and listen to the Mother," he said as he moved along the ledge to my right. I would have to crawl and drag my right leg, as I could not damage it more by putting weight on it. After what seemed like forever, I found a space between the edge of the ledge and a bolder that I could—very carefully—crawl along. Once I went around the bolder, I found a gentler incline toward the top. The ground here was more stable, and there was even some foliage to grab onto. The Inner Voice reminded me to listen to the Mother again, and so I did. I touched the earth in the manner which Mytria had taught me and asked for Her guidance. Instantly, I had a feeling to follow a certain trough in the earth, which afforded be enough security to frequently rest. I fought off my dizziness from my fever and lack of water, and contacted the Mother with my every choice of movement. My progress was very slow, but I was gradually moving up the side of the cliff. However, it was getting dark. I had to get to the top while there was enough light to see what I was doing. I realized that I was going slowly for the sake of my leg, but I had to move more quickly to reach the top before dark. I closed my eyes for a moment to remember my vision. This version of me could move without even touching the ground. If I could BE that me, I could trust my every movement without hesitation. It took a while to envision my self in that manner, but I gradually began to feel a light about my form. I slowly opened my eyes to see that my body and the cliff around me were glowing. I pushed aside my doubts of "hallucination" and chose to believe my experience. Now, I knew exactly where to place my hands and my good leg. There was no hesitation, no fear, no adrenalin, and no pain. I was in some sort of trance that allowed me to become ONE with the cliff. It almost felt as if the cliff was assisting my movement. When I looked up and saw an overhanging ledge, I did not fear. Instead, I easily found an alternate route that allowed me to easily crawl over the top and onto flat ground. I rolled away from the cliff and I pulled myself over to a huge rock that held the heat of the day. I pushed myself against the warm rock and patted it to thank the Mother. Then, I looked up into the starry sky under which Mytria and I had fallen asleep many times and saw my body of light embracing hers. With this image in my mind, I fell into a deep sleep. MYTRIA AND MYTRE SPEAK: We realized later that we were very close to each other, but did not know it. However, this physical distance was necessary for us to bridge the etheric gap that still existed between us. We both looked into the starry sky and thanked the Mother for assisting us. Even though our bodies were apart, our hearts and minds were joined as we fell asleep. In fact, we had the same dream, or was it a vision. We found ourselves back in the Core of the Mother, at the exact moment of our "accidental" merging. Now, after all we had been through, being merged into one person felt even stronger. We were both different people now. We had both survived and successfully completed our Initiations and had conquered our inner demons, which made our love even stronger. As we stood as one, looking into each other's eyes, the Mother came to us. We thought it was to bless us, but it was actually to give us our next assignment. "My beloved children," She said to us both, "You may think your long journey has ended, but it has actually just begun. I need you both to help me, as you have both become my allies of transmutation. You have transformed yourselves, and now I must ask you to assist me to transmute my Planet." We were both deeply honored, but somehow worried. Was there something in Her voice that made us concerned that we could not stay together? NO, we would not allow that to happen. After all we had been through, we would never part again—NEVER! We both awoke to the hint of dawn. There was not enough light for Mytria to read the tracks, but we were joined into one being again. Therefore, she simply followed the call of my love. It was mid day when we rejoined again. MYTRE SPEAKS: When I awoke from my dream/vision, I knew Mytria was near. I touched the land to call her through the earth and sent my love out to her direction. In fact, I could see in my mind exactly where she was, just as she told me later that she could see me in the same way. I pulled my self up the hill a bit so that I could more easily she her approach. I found a strong stick and some how got myself to my feet. I would not greet her lying on the ground like a wounded animal. It was then that I saw her walking towards me. When she saw me, she laid down her heavy pack and ran to me as fast as she could. When we met our hearts burst with the love that we thought we had lost, only to regain—stronger than ever. We held each other so tight that we seemed to be one body, as Mytria sobbed onto my chest. I tried not to cry, but my joy could only be expressed in the manner. We stood there for a long time. All my pain was temporarily gone within the merging of our bodies. In fact, I felt a great healing force coming from her and into my body. As she held me and wept, I felt my fever diminish and my leg begin to heal. Then, I realized that she was draining herself too much in her effort to heal me. I lovingly pushed her away, keeping my hands on her shoulders. "Thank you Beloved, I can heal myself the rest of the way. If you could just assist me to that shady tree…" "Yes," she spoke as she looked into my eyes. Between her support and the stick I had found, I was able to hobble over to the tree and sit down on the earth between two large roots. Mytria kissed me on the forehead and ran up to get her pack. "I will have to set this leg before I dress it," she said apologetically. "I am ready," I replied. Before I knew it, the leg was set, my wound was cleaned, wrapped in herbs, which where covered with a tree bark, and the sticks I had found were replaced and held in place by a clean sash. "When we get back to OUR camp, I can make you a proper cast," she said as she gently patted my leg. We decided to stay there for the remainder of the day and take off to OUR home at sunrise the next day. It was an excellent decision, for that night under the stars was beyond words. Some how we managed to make love. In fact, we made love again and again, each time going deeper and deeper into each other's very Soul, in fact, into our joint Soul. Mytria had heard of Divine Complements during her Temple studies, and told me all she knew. And then, we had to make love again, which is when it happened. Mytria tried to keep it from me, but I knew we made a child then. How could we not? The heavens almost opened and sent her down. Yes, it would be a daughter, our daughter, our love-child. When morning came, I felt almost healed. That is until I tried to walk. PART 9: Greetings, We are Mytria of the Violet Temple of Alcyone and Mytre of the Ashtar Command. We have returned to share more of our story of Pleiadian Ascension. We have decided to share the experience of our ascension with our Earth friends, as you are, also, entering your time of ascension. Hence, as you return to your Multidimensional SELF, you will soon, or already have, met with your Divine Complement. The term Divine Complement is also known as Twin Flame. The more you return to your fifth dimensional resonance, the less you will feel comfortable in a body of gender. In fact, all forms of polarity will become too constrictive, too low of a resonance, for your ever-expanding consciousness. Therefore, a certain urge may well rise up in you that there is someone that you must meet. You likely do not know who this person is, but you will instantly know your Complement when your eyes first meet. This experience is similar to catching a glimpse at your self in a mirror. When you contact your Compliment, a chain of events will be initiated over which your ego self will have no control. The mere magnetism of meeting your own Soul in another person's body can be quite disturbing. If you are not ready for this reunion, you might even push it away. In this case, you may meet at a later time or in another reality. On the other hand, those who are resonating to the threshold of the fifth dimension will be ready. Consequently, they will willingly change their lives in any way necessary in order to keep this person in their life. However, do not make the mistake that these intense emotions will make for an easy relationship. In fact, a relationship with your Divine Complement is much like a relationship with your self. Your Divine Complement is the part of your Soul that you had to release to be able to inhabit a third-dimensional body of gender. After that first separation, you each took on myriad other incarnations in both male and female forms. The power of connecting with your Divine Complement is so intense, that Soul's usually only choose to make this connection if they are approaching ascension. One the other hand, you could choose to ascend first and wait on the fifth dimensional threshold until your Divine Complement also ascends. Very often, your Divine Complements over-lights you throughout your live, but you will only realize this fact after you have regained your multidimensional consciousness. Connecting with your Complement serves as the precursor to connecting with your higher expressions of self in the mid-fifth dimension and beyond. There are times when Divine Complements meet while both are in the physical plane. Some times they live lives of deep commitment to each other. Other times they come into Oneness to perform a great social contribution. On the other hand, sometimes they cannot find peace together, as the energy is too intense for their state of consciousness to accept. In this case, they eventually part. The life challenge is considered a "pilot test" in which both of them realize that they are not ready to leave the third dimension. However, there was a moment of connection, which they will continue to always carry in their hearts. In contrast, there are also lives in which you meet, merge and become ONE within your heart and Soul. However, you are forced to be apart for the sake of a Mission that is even more important than your personal love story. This final example was the case with us. But we are getting ahead of ourselves. Thus, we return our story not too long after we left off… MYTRIA SPEAKS: With Mytre's injured leg, it took us several days to get back to our home base. Once there, our lives returned to normal, only at a much deeper level, as we had both gone completed transformative initiations. Because we had connected with our Higher Expressions, as well as with our Mother Planet, our connection to each other was even more intimate. We shared dreams, communicated without talking, found our selves doing similar things, as well as simultaneously thinking similar thing. In other words, we were experiencing a deep commitment and unconditional love for each other. That does not mean that we never argued or had difficult moments. Of course we did. However, those moments were soon over, to be replaced by our usual peace and comfort. Besides, we had something very special to share. While Mytre's leg was healing, my stomach was growing. Our dear child was growing within my body, as well as within Mytre's heart. He often held my stomach and talked to his daughter, he insisted the baby was a girl. When we shared those moments, I was so happy that I thought my heart might burst. However, this happiness was always followed by a moment of dread. I tried to ignore that feeling, but I knew that there would be change soon, and not just the change of having our baby. The Mother was telling me that she would soon need our assistance. There were some things that She needed us to do for Her. She, too, was ready to expand into Her higher expression of SELF. Unfortunately, the day finally came in which all my feelings were validated. I was very close to birthing and Mytre's leg was almost totally healed. It was early in the morning and Mytre had been taking an early morning swim at the nearby lake. I was making our morning meal, when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. Just a few moments later, Mytre came running towards me as fast as he could, which was very fast. I ran, wobbled towards him, but he waved for me to stop. When he reached me, he was out of breath but managed to say, "What just happened to you? We have to go back to the Village. It is your time soon and you need to be where they can help you." I resisted his advice for days. I wanted to have my baby in the home that I loved. However, I knew Mytre was right, I just didn't know why. After I had had several of these pains, he convinced me that we go to the Temple. We cleaned up our camp, but left it habitable, as we planned to return as soon as it was safe for the baby. Unfortunately, life had another idea. PART 10: MYTRE SPEAKS: I was very happy when Mytria agreed to return to the Village and to have our baby at the Temple. Since my "Vision Quest" I had been having more visions that I could peacefully contain. I knew that we had to return to the Village for the baby, but I also knew that we had to return to the Village because something there was very wrong. I made a flat cart for our "supplies," but knew that it would be for Mytria. If she walked too long, she would have the pains again, so I made her ride on the cart that I pulled. She was not happy with my carrying all our packs and pulling the cart. However, when I reminded her that she was carrying the precious cargo of our daughter, she ceased her complaints. When we reached the hill above our Village, we saw that my worst fears were correct. The Force Field around the Village was up, which could only mean that our position had been discovered, and we were under attack. I realized then that I would not be around for the birth of our child, as I would be too busy protected her home. Mytria and I looked at each other with great remorse. No words were necessary. We both recognized that we would be apart and that the return to our wonderful home would be postponed indefinitely. Mytria was determined to walk into the Village, and I agreed. I wanted to feel her by my side, as I did not know when I would find her there again. Just before we entered the Force Field, Mytria, the baby and I embraced for a long moment. Our hearts and minds became ONE, as we vowed that the three of us would always be together in our consciousness. Once I entered the code for the Force Field, and we walked through, we knew that our lives would be altered forever. The Village was in complete chaos with people running around in a somewhat organized fashion. The fear in the air was tangible. Before we could take in the situation at hand, Mytria's labor pains began and my Commanding Officer appeared from nowhere. "Mytre, where have you been? We could not contact you, and we need you to pilot a Mission NOW!" "I must take my mate to the Temple, she is in labor with our child." "No! You must come now," he said as he directed one of the Protectors to take Mytria to the Temple. "Go, my love," Mytria said bravely, with tears in her eyes. "We will be fine. Our daughter is coming now." My Commanding Officer literally pulled me by the arm, as Mytria was placed on the cart and taken to the Temple. What was left of our life together lay forgotten on the ground. We would have only our final embrace to remind us of what we had experienced together. MYTRIA SPEAKS: Of course, both Mytre and I knew that something terrible was happening in the Village, but we chose not to talk about it. I had even wondered if my pains had been a warning of some kind. I knew now that they were not labor pains. I wondered if they were a message from our daughter. Both Mytre and I knew that she would be very special, as we often visited her together in our dreams. She told us that she was coming to prepare our people for an auspicious event. We knew that she was correct, as we always saw the Elohim Alcyone with her in our dreams. I did not know if we, our daughter and myself, would ever see Mytre again. He was a warrior, and he was going into battle. I knew that. In fact, I had known that fact almost as soon as we returned to our home after his Vision Quest. I pushed it from my mind a thousand times, but it always returned to remind me to cherish every moment of our NOW. I talked to the Mother many times, selfishly begging that our lives could remain the way they were. She always said, "Courage my ONE. You are to be a Priestess and your daughter has a great destiny." That is all She would say. I would call again and again, until I finally tired of my weakness and accepted that The Mother was right. It was then that I began to live in the flow of the NOW. I did not understand exactly what would happen, but I knew that it would happen soon. Hence, I determined to Unconditionally LOVE every moment that we shared. Once I surrendered into that decision, I realized that I had wasted precious time in worrying and determined to give thanksgiving for every moment that we shared from then on. But then the pains began, and I knew that our daughter was telling me that, soon, we would have to leave our beloved home. As we reached the stairs to the Temple, I rose from the cart. I would walk up the stairs with my head held high. Jador, the Protector, kindly supported me. As soon as he touched me I knew he was one of those whom I had met within the Core of the Mother. We would all be joining together now, for what purpose I was not sure. As we entered the door to the Temple, I saw another member of our group. Her name was Sirena. Her and Jador were to be my closest friends during our impending transformation. "We have been waiting for you. Alycia, your daughter, told us she was ready to be born." Neither one of us questioned that information. I instantly trusted Sirena and surrendered myself to her care. She swept me into the waiting Birthing Room. It was beautifully prepared with violet cloth draped across the walls. There were candles, incense and soft music. Most important, the room was filled with love. "We have prepared this room to the specifications of Alycia. She was very specific. All of us here feel honored to be among the ones who assist with her birth." Sirena said no more. She led me to my birthing chair and began to cleanse my body with a mixture of herbs and clear water. She brushed my hair and pulled it back from my face. Removed my old clothing and wrapped me with a cloth as light as air. This procedure instantly put me into a deep trance in which I had the most amazing experience, which I will try to explain. As I fell into a deep trance, I found myself again in the Core of the Mother. In front of me was Elohim Alcyone. "I have created a form so that I can better participate in the ascension of your people," She spoke directly into my heart. "Because you and Mytre, who are Divine Complements, were able to both pass your Initiations, your combined frequencies were high enough for me to implant the seed of my form within your body. Of course, Mytre was vital to this implantation. It was the deep, abiding love embedded in his fluid that allow that seed to germinate. Furthermore, because the two of you had so bonded with my land, I was able to protect the growing one within your body. Now, I am here again to assist you with the birthing." All that I can remember is that I felt a slow, gradual release of that which I had tenaciously protected throughout my entire pregnancy. Surrounded my the color violet, in both in my inner and outer vision, created a deep calm, and the sounds, smells and flickering candles allowed me to remain in complete surrender. Suddenly, the release was complete, but my journey continued, but this time with Alycia. Together, as one essence, we met Mytre, as the three of us soared into a reality in which there was total peace, unconditional love and multidimensional light. As we previewed this world, we realized that it was very familiar. Yes, it was the very world that we were now fighting to maintain. However, there was no fighting here, no fear, no war, and no separation. We all had a Core Essence, but it visibly flowed into the Core Essence of everyone and everything. In fact, there were no "things," as every form carried its own life-spark and frequency signature. As the three of us, joined into one tight unit, floated through this world, we realized that we were in a possible reality. We, also, remembered that we had vowed to ground this reality into the body of our new planetary home. In fact, all of us who had met within the Core of the Mother had made this vow before we were born. Now, we were being called upon to remember all that we had vowed to do. Mytre and I realized that our Missions would separate our forms, but never our hearts. I was to protect and assist in raising Alycia, who would also be raised by the Priests and Priestesses of our Temple. Time would be moving very quickly now, and Mother Alcyone would need our assistance, as we would need Hers. My beloved Mytre may or may not return in the form in which I had known him. However, soon, we would no longer be limited to these forms, so any loss would be temporary. I tried to remember that fact during the long dark nights of my empty bed. Fortunately, I returned from my vision to find Alycia in my arms. How can I describe the agony of loosing my Divine Complement and the ecstasy of birthing the child of our great love within the same day? Fortunately, it was the intense oppositions of these two emotions of deepest grief and abounding joy that forced me to find a place to live in-between these two extremes. With my every breath, I held Mytre within my heart and protected him with my every thought. Many of our communication systems were down or restricted. Therefore, I was not able hear any word of him for what would be measured to you in years. It was only our meetings in our dream world and the bliss of raising Alycia that kept me going. I knew that Mytre's contribution to the ascension of our people, as well as the reality in which we lived, was great. I was extremely proud of him, but I still constantly missed him. Actually, I missed US! PART 11: MYTRE SPEAKS: When I had to choose between my family and my duty, the answer was simple. I chose my family. However, Mytria urged me to go, to do my duty, to help make our world safe for our daughter. In the moment that I paused in making my decision, I was swept away and so was my family. I was desolate. How could I have let that happen? Why had I made her come back to the Village? Why didn't I pull away from my Commander and run towards my family? These questions haunted me and destroyed my ability to concentrate. I sat in important missions and could not focus. I had nothing to give to the Protectors, to my family or to my self. Yes, my self, I had to find my self. However, there was no time to do that. We were under attack. Our long-range communications were down, many of our Ships had been destroyed before they even left the atmosphere and the Force Field around the village was weakening more each day. We needed reinforcements. We needed the Arcturians to come to our assistance. We still had our fastest Scout Ship, and I was one of our best pilots. Before I had a chance to think, I stood up and volunteered. It was as if someone else made that decision, but once said, I had to follow through. A moment ago I was concerned about my loved ones, and now I was likely going to my death. What was I thinking? Actually, who was thinking? It was not my conflicted ego. Therefore, I hoped it was the ME that I had met on my Vision Quest. I suppose that is was that version of me that activated my decision, because as soon as it was made, everything changed. Before I knew it, myself, and three others, were flying our Ship through the small area of unguarded space we had found. We made it through only to be greeted by a War Ship. Some how we evaded them long enough for one of our Ships to take down the War Ship. However, we were dead in space. All our controls were out, and life-support was minimal. Our battle had diminished our crew from four the three. We were safe for a while, but would likely by found by an enemy Ship at any moment. What could I do? It was then that I became the ME I had seen on my Vision Quest. If I could talk to rocks, dirt, sky and the Mother, why couldn't I also talk to the Ship? Our Ships all had implanted biological elements. Maybe I could connect with whatever life force remained in those jell packs? I felt the adrenaline coursing through my body and knew that I had to find my Core. I though of my first meeting with Mytria in the Core of Alycone and used that memory to find my own Core. In fact, I finally remembered the message I was given by the Arcturian. It had said, as it looked into my Soul, "YOU can do it!" I still had no idea what that meant. However, suddenly, I was floating with Mytria and our newborn daughter through a potential reality of complete safety, total love and absolute unity. I felt my essence intermingle with every person, plant, animal and thing within this world. I heard a part of me saying, "Stop day dreaming and get back to business," but another part of me—the floating part of me—was saying, "Pay attention to this message." Yes, this vision, or reality, was a message. I was being shown how to merge with all life, just as I had done when I found my way off the cliff. Therefore, instead of judging my vision/experience, I totally surrendered to it. I merged with each person I met in this reality. I merged with every plant, every animal, and finally, with every "thing." It was when I totally merged with what appeared to me a rock, that I heard the Ship's engines come online. Outside my inner image I heard my crewmates yelling at me to open my eyes and help them. However, I chose to attend to the loving support of my family who was assisting me to merge with every component of this potential reality. I let go of every external perception and directed all my attention into the movement of this "rock." Slowly, the rock lifted up off the ground and began to move through the air. Simultaneously, our Ship slowly began to move. I stayed within my inner reality, as I knew that the others could steer the Ship. It was up to me make it move. The rock in my image hovered before me, as if awaiting instructions. I focused all my attention on the closest Arcturians Starship and directed those coordinates into the rock in my image. Slowly the rock turned and began to move. My eyes were closed, and I dared not open them. Therefore, I had to trust that the Ship was moving in the correct direction. I then saw many other rocks moving towards my rock, and I assumed that our enemy had found us. I could not be distracted by a battle, so I made my rock invisible to the other rocks and directed it to move beyond the speed of light. Instantly, my rock was free of the other rocks. The rock was moving faster than I could track. If I lost sight of it in my image, how could I control it? "Let go!" I heard an inner voice say. I didn't know what I was supposed to let go of, so I let go of everything and passed out. I woke up as the two crewmembers lifted me up and put me into the Captains Chair. "You did it," they said in one voice. "What did I do," I said, still wondering if my entire experience had been my imagination. "You piloted the Ship with your mind!" All I could say was, "Can you take over from here? I think I am going to pass out again." In the distance, I heard, "Yes Sir," as I returned to my vision. This time my focus was on my family and on the Elohim Alcyone who was with them. It was She who spoke to me. "Our dear Mytre, we are most pleased with your ability to remember your innate ability. Do you remember how you first learned that facility in the sixth dimension of Arcturus?" "Yes, I think so," I replied. "But I though I was a Pleiadian?" "Our dear Ascending ONE, you are many beings within ONE. You have chosen to take a form among these brave people. They were tired of fighting and sought the peace and love in which they could return to their higher frequencies of SELF. "The only way to assure that these Ones can remain safe is if they ascend their bodies, and their entire reality, into the fifth dimension. In this way, they will live beyond the perception of their enemies. You, Mytria and your daughter Alycia have dedicated yourselves to this transition. In fact, everyone who you met within the Core of the Mother has dedicated themselves to this process of ascension." As the great Elohim spoke, myriad memories, images, thoughts and emotions filled my consciousness, and surprisingly, I was able to simultaneously understand them all. "Did I really move the Ship?" I had to ask. "We, that is the energy of the ONE, moved the Ship." I understood that. When I was in this reality of the ONE, I could be the catalyst for anything. It was the great love of my family that brought me to this reality, and it was my great love for them that gave me the courage to release any glimpse of fear from my consciousness. "You are correct," the Elohim said in response to my thoughts. "Yes, we heard your thoughts even before they were expressed as words. Your thoughts, as you have found, have great power. That is why you had to pass your Initiation. Only unconditional love could hold you within that frequency of reality. Furthermore, those with mal-intent cannot even perceive, much less enter or harm, that world." With the assurance of those final words, I returned to the reality of my Ship. I was instantly greeted by the joyous vision of the Arcturian Starship. I was to study onboard that Starship for many years to learn how to adapt all our Starships to travel by the power of thought. The most difficult part of that assignment was that no one could know of my secret mission. Fortunately, I could meet with Mytria and Alycia in our fifth dimensional reality, but that was the only contact we could have. The Arcturians sent reinforcements to assist our Village and the surrounding areas. Nevertheless, we all knew that expanding the resonance of our society into the fifth dimension was our only hope for long-term peace.

I call then crap circles. They are degisned to change the morphogenetic grid of an area. They are created from Brookhaven National Labs, transmitted to satellites and then beamed to Earth. They are made electromagnetically andimprinted on the pattern of the location. They were not made by our Space BrothersThey choose ley lines where ELF can be directly entered into the energy grids of the Earth. Sure, you may think these designs look pretty and intricate, but there is a clever disguise
lol I think that has a funny ring to it, technology Jesus. OK, here's the message.
Sananda: Greetings, fellow Lightworkers! A new era has begun, a new beginning for you; it is only for you to embrace it. Many things behind the scenes are transpiring. You will be able to feel it if you go into your heart. You do not necessarily need to know all the details, but if you can accept it in your heart, you are well on your way to a new life, a new beginning. Dear friends, there is so much you still are not aware of and the coming days will reveal more and more to you. Take it in stride and remember to stay centered and in your heart. Whatever is puzzling to you, just run through your heart like it was a decoder device. Allow it to sift through and come to awareness there. My dear beloved Lightworkers, you don't even realize as yet the enormity of what you have accomplished. Time will tell, as they say, and it will sink in more. For now, keep leading with your heart and your love for all Beings, including the cabal, for they need it now. I would like to address some more points to help you in your ascension process. You know by now that you are changing in form quite a bit. The crystalline structure of your bodies is becoming quite settled and prominent. It is causing you to want to eat lighter and purer, and you will notice that fresh, raw fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, and legumes will give you the high-vibrational energy you need. Purifying your environment will also help you. Staying away from electronics as much as possible, especially cell phones and television, and being in nature as much as possible will nurture your being to the level it needs to rise to. And you know that being as present in the moment as much as you can be is helping you to counteract the dizzying feeling of time marching so fast and furiously. It may feel at times like you are at the center of a twirling ride you would see at an amusement park. Stay rooted in the center and watch the world spin until it stabilizes and you have found your bearings. Breathe in the Light fully every moment as if it is the air you breathe, in gulps, if you will, and intend to allow it to reach all cells in your body. We have told you this, but it is very important now. Just observe the negative sensations and memories and thoughts and notions you are experiencing and allow them to float on out like the waves wash out everything in their wake, out to the sea. In this case, the sea would be the Aura around you and let that transmute everything negative and recycle it out into the atmosphere and cosmic milieu as positive Light, Love and energy. Pay attention to the creative thoughts you are getting as to what you wish to be participating in as the New Earth takes shape. Pay attention to the visions you have while meditating, of how you want to feel and be. Allow anything to be possible, and create with abandon, dear Ones. The stage is being set for the Light to be more prominent and sustaining, as the darkness is being removed and transmuted by you with our help in the Spiritual and Galactic Realm. Know that you are so much more able now to participate in loving acts towards yourself and other; see it as the norm, as all the prior situations you have found yourselves in that bring you concern or pain will start to melt away, like a fog that is clearing to reveal beautiful blue skies. Be prepared for memories to emerge of your True Essence, of who you really are before you donned the cloak of duality and tried out so many roles in so many lives just for your edification and transformation and evolvement, only to find your true glowing Self emerge with so much Divine Love and capabilities. You are so close, my dear Ones. Please keep yourselves centered in your heart and do not be too concerned with the shake-ups and changes going on around you. See yourself as if at the center of a vortex and ground yourselves into Earth until you feel stable. Nothing besides your Divinity is real right now. Nothing besides your connection with all others in that Divinity is real right now. Nothing besides the Truth that you are One with all Beings here on Earth, and throughout the galaxies, is real right now! Be prepared for changes, but see it as a return to your True Selves. Stay in peace and calm, as if in the center of a hurricane. The hurricane will not cause any destruction to you if you remain there in the center.

A friend of mine, Jana, did a reading for me. Below are the results and what she said might be helpful for your life as well.
Hello Na'ven!!! I am finished!!! Hooray!!! ;p I attached all of the images/messages/oracle cards that I recieved for your reading. I have two attachments I have to send in a separate email. First off, I intuitive pick a marker to do my guided writing/drawing for readings and I picked a forest green for you. :) This indicates to me that you are working with your heart chakra right now. It is opening wide and healing at this time. Keep up the good work sending unconditional love to yourself and others!!! :) I am going to type out a brief summary of the reading here also. 1) I saw the image of a snow flake with a line coming out the bottom of it. It reminds me of a snow flake wand :) I see you emitting pure crystalline energy and you have the energy of a snow queen!!! 2) I saw an image that looks like a symbol of a stick figure airplane. This feels like the symbol of travel. You will be travelling a great distance very soon either physically or astrally. Pack light!!! Get rid of extra baggage on all levels!!! 3) Wake up and smell the roses(or coffee or both) [I actually heard wake up and smell the roses/coffee at the same time] Slow down and be aware of everything around you now. Be present, grounded and centered. Go out in nature to achieve this. 4) I focused on hearing from your arcturian family and friends. I started writing really fast for this one..... "Greetings, Blessings and warm wishes Na'ven!!! We are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of you!!! You are handling your mission perfectly!!! You look good in your Na'ven suit! (lol!) You need to keep doing what you are doing by having fun and raising your vibrations along with everyone's around you! Salutations Friend!!! Keep your head up!!! (up to the sky!) We are looking down on you and loving you SOOOOOOOOOOO Freakin' much!!! [insert symbol I drew in attachment] Blessings to you from your loving family of starseeds " 5) Keep making waves to splash in!!! You basically revolve around water....it's how you connect to this world, how you meditate, how you center yourself and flow and receive your insights. I keep getting that you are crystalline, a pure being of light refracting rainbows through your prismatic heart. :) [#5 ties in with #1] (Then I drew a peace sign with a heart around it and rainbow wings coming out from it.I just forgot to color the wings rainbow colors before I attached it to this email) 6) Pulled 3 cards from Doreen Virtue's Healing with the fairies oracle cards since this reading was very fun, whimsical and to me had lots of fairy energy. :) While shuffling the cards, I saw a symbol of the letter R inside of a cartoonish looking balloon tree. I took that the R = Rainbow??? I will let you see what you feel about this symbol that I drew. I asked the question "What does Na'ven need to know right now?" while shuffling. I pulled 1) Laughter 2) Miracle Healing 3) Letting Go The last two cards meanings from the book are attached in a separate email. I hope you enjoy this reading and it helps you on your path. Let me know if you have any questions or comments relating to this reading. Have a Beautiful weekend Na'ven!!!! Lots of Love!!! Jana

Hi! This comment is about your post "Here's an intuitive reading that explains a lot about me and could help you in your life as well", I just wanted to comment on it because I really enjoy your youtube channel and recently came to your website and this was the first article I read and it strangely connected to me as well. My niece who I have been trying to spend more time with lately has a little toy wand that looks just like the one in the picture. And I am curious about what you mean when you said "(Ex. My heart and my left ankle bone and such. Yeah, that and spirit. lol.)" because the strangest thing is that I rolled my left ankle some time back and have continually been having problems with it untill just recently when after rolling it again a few times I seem to have rolled it back into place. LOL And I have a tattoo of a rainbow on that ankle that I got with my mom when I was eighteen years old, so I also have a connection with that. Also I really enjoyed what you said about being a fairy because I have these strange vissions or memories of dancing around naked in the woods as a fairy too!! lol. N E Way just wanted to say Hi and to leave you a positive comment! Hope you respond I really enjoy your youtube vids and think it would be cool to maybe exchange emails or something. Peace and Love :)
Here's a good channeling to describe how multi-dimensionality works. We create our own realities and we get to experience whichever realities we choose to create/take part in.
Channeler: Ron Head You ran and jumped, screamed and laughed. Remember? – Michael channeled by Ron Head June 8,2012 We would like to address, this morning, the issue of dissention within our dear and lovingly created community. If there is any thought that creates or maintains separation between you, please know that it can only come from a lower vibrational source. Even if you are convinced of the correctness of your judgment, please realize that it is a judgment, and as such, does not originate from a source of unconditional love. We go no further with this topic, as it serves no useful purpose. Yesterday we spoke of the inability to predict the future for you. Did you have fun with that? Let's play a little more this morning, shall we? We propose that, in fact, it is possible to predict with great accuracy all sorts of futures for you. As a matter of fact, every future you have ever envisioned will be played out to its fullest in some time slash space. That is what kind of powerful creators you are. These you call potentials. The potentiality is very real. What is impossible for you to predict is which of the myriad forks in every road you will choose to be conscious of. Now isn't that fun? Your awareness is soon to grow to the point of encompassing a great deal more than it currently does. That is one of the ways of defining multi-dimensionality. You will become aware of the many possible results of your decisions. You will, in effect, be living in more than one time and more than one space in your awareness, meaning in your now. Oh, you are in for some delightful experiences, dear ones. Our purpose is not to confuse you, but to prepare you. You will not be going crazy. And it will take a short while for you to become accustomed to this way of being. But that will not take so awfully long if you realize that it is, after all, your normal way of being when you are not in this dimension. As you begin to have experiences that are somewhat different from what you are used to, try to find the joy and fun in them. Be as you were as a child exploring this world when you came into it. You ran and jumped, screamed and laughed. Remember? You clapped your hands and thoroughly enjoyed each new thing you saw, tasted, heard, and felt. Return to that now, because you are entering this lifetime for the first time… again. If anything disconcerting comes into your life, remember, we are right there with you. Ask for our comfort and guidance and it will be instantly yours. We are enjoying exploring these topics with you, and we hope you are, as well. Be in peace and look at your day with new eyes. We will speak again tomorrow. Good day. Copyright © Ronald Head. All Rights Reserved.

Note: we only give a property a rating once it has received a minimum of 3 reviews.
- " Staff acted bothered when asked questions "
- 21 Nov 2013 Christine USA
- " The Steam Engine was a nice hostel for my short visit to London. The beds were comfortable despite the three layered bunks. It was a good atmosphere during the day and night! There's a 24 hour bar and their pizza is definitely worth the price! Staff member named Dan was kind enough to suggest multiple places around the city. Visited one of the fish and chips places he suggested and it was worth it! Incredibly close walk to the London Eye, Big Ben, and just the center of London! Thank you! "
- 10 Nov 2013 Anonymous Canada
- " Very good internet connection, which is rare in London) "
- 09 Nov 2013 Anonymous Russia
- " Only stayed for one night and it was just what I was looking for! Small place but everything was clean and the location was really great! There were only 2 showers, so I could see that being a negative but I got my shower in the morning really easily. Also, I wish their were plugs at every bunk but there were quite a few on the floor level so it worked out OK (just would have preferred it right at my bunk). Would stay there again for short stays in central London. "
- 21 Oct 2013 Anonymous Canada
- " everything was great but there is no kitchen and no fridge and the bathrooms faucet do not mix hot and cold water like in The London Eye Hostel. so you can't even wash your hands ! "
- 12 Oct 2013 Vinicio
- " Great accommodation at a great location, accessible to the tube. Very friendly staff and friendly atmosphere. But only 2 restrooms and showers for so many people and one of the restrooms is more crammed than the other one. It would be great if a third restroom and shower can be added to this facility; it would be one of the best options to stay at. Also, I would have preferred an option to choose which level on the bunk-bed that I wanted to stay in. "
- 12 Oct 2013 Anantharaman India
- " Best Value for money you can get. Location is great. Staff is super nice. Would book there again with no hesitation - though the rooms are small. Very clean. "
- 06 Sep 2013 Oliver Austria
- " Two toilets and two showers for almost 50 people were not enough. "
- 29 Apr 2013 Anonymous USA
- " FRESH is less of a hostel, and more of a convenient place to stay above the bar known as The Steam Engine. The rooms were super cramped with triple-decker bunk-beds. The mattresses were like sleeping on a bunch of springs under a piece of cardboard. The showers, at least, worked excellently. There is no lounge, just the pub downstairs, but the staff are super friendly and helpful and the pizza is surprisingly amazing. You can't beat the location for the price they offer. Good deal for the low $. "
- 21 Apr 2013 Anonymous USA
- " The Steam Engine was one of the coolest hostels we stayed at on our trip. Smaller than most but it makes for a great environment. The staff is incredible - really friendly and helpful! Gave us all kinds of recommendations for what to do during our stay in London...Daniel and Albert are the best!!!! The bar in the hostel is great too. Location couldn't be better - just over Waterloo Bridge. Awesome - highly recommend anyone to stay here!! "

Choosing Nike Air Max 2011 is indeed a good decision and you will be getting a high quality product. Nike Air Max 2012 is not that expensive you should take time before choosing Nike Air Presto that you will be purchasing. You can buy Nike Lunarglide 3 online or you just can visit the nearby Nike stores. You can find many websites offering Nike Free Run 2 on the internet.

The three northern Bezirke [districts] of Bavaria
(Mittelfranken, Oberfranken
and Unterfranken) have their own history, distinct
from southern Bavaria, and thus some kind of regional identity as Franken
(Franconia). Many of the people there do not like the quite centralistic
government in Munich, some of them even want their own Bundesland
Franken ['Federal State of Franconia'], see for example this
Marcus Schmöger, 28 January 2001
"Communities are allowed exceptionally to show the white-red flag of
Franconia on the day of Franconia at 1st July, on their town hall, beside
the Bavarian white-blue flag", said Bavarian minister for inner affairs
Günther Beckstein. "Normally it is not allowed, because the Franconian
flag is not an official state flag."
Source: Newspaper Münchner Merkur.
(Beckstein is Franconian and future prime minister in-spe of Bavaria.)
J. Patrick Fischer, 6 Jun 2007
Since 2006 on the first Sunday after 2 July every year Franconia (the
northern part of Bavaria) celebrates the "Tag der Franken" (Day of the
Franconians), see Wikipedia.
This is mainly to show the fact, that historically Franconia has been a
late addition (1806) to Bavaria and that culturally and linguistically
there are a lot of differences between the Bavarians proper (Altbayern
= Old Bavarians) and the Franconians. There is a quite active and vociferous
minority in Franconia that wants more rights in (perceivedly Munich-centred)
Bavaria, decentralization or even their own state in the Federal Republic
("Bundesland Franken").
On 5 July 2009, there was the "Tag der Franken" of this year, celebrated
in the open-air museum at Bad Windsheim, that I visited for vexillological
There were quite a number of cultural expositions and events showing
aspects of Franconian culture and history. However, one major part was
to show the connections between Franconian towns/municipalities and twinned
towns/municipalities in foreign countries, belonging to the European Union.
So every country of the European Union had some space for display, a few
of them together with other countries close-by, though, e.g. the Baltic
countries with Finland, or Greece with Cyprus.
The buildings and stands were richly decorated with paper flags of
the respective nation. Other flags displayed were several regional or municipal
And of course there were quite a number of different versions of the
(unofficial) Franconian flag.
Marcus E.V. Schmöger, 7 Jul 2009
The flag depicted
in this website as flag
for Franconia you can see also quite frequently on other websites, e.g.
website or this website.
This flag has been in use unofficially for some 10-15 years, even if in
the South Bavarian media it is not frequently seen. It shows a typical
pattern for a German flag: horizontally striped red over white with the
arms in the center. The colours derive from the arms. The arms show the
that has been one of the symbols of the Hochstift Würzburg (since 1410)
and later on became a symbol commonly associated with the whole Franconia.
As there was no political entity called Franconia in medieval times, but
a lot of small territories, there had never been an actual historical coat-of-arms
for Franconia. However the saw-tooth is the symbol for Franconia
in the Bavarian coat-of-arms as well as in
the coats-of-arms of the Bezirke Mittelfranken, Oberfranken and
Unterfranken. These three Bezirke also show flags of red-white or white-red.
Marcus Schmöger, 28 January 2001
The flag of Franconia is a banner of the arms of the region, as they
appear within the arms of Bavaria. They are
nicknamed the Franconian rake. The teeth of the rake are usually
horizontal. The flag has no official status since there is no autonomous
region of Franconia. (...) The flag is often seen during local festivities.
Pascal Vagnat, 24 April 2000
During a short stay in Bavaria, I saw the flag of Franconia in the town
of Solnhofen (together with municipal and Bavarian state flags). All three
flags were hoisted vertically, the Franconia regional flag being Bahrain-like,
red over white, with three white triangles.
Jan Zrzavy, 11 June 2000
Another unofficial flag for Franconia can be seen at this
website. This seems to be a banner-of-arms, however rotated 90 degrees.
This would certainly be used as vertical flag as well as horizontal flag.
Marcus Schmöger, 28 January 2001
In the Süddeutsche Zeitung of 8 July 2002 (p. 47) there was a foto of
a meeting of the Frankenbund (Franconians' Association) showing
a variant of the (unofficial) Franconian flag as a "Banner" (hanging flag).
Marcus Schmöger, 12 Jul 2002
Two flags are raised on the imperial castle of Nürnberg, the German black-red-gold and the Bavarian white-blue. But Nürnberg is the biggest city of Franconia. The Franconians are a German tribe, which is living in northern Bavaria and is underlining its difference from the Bavarian tribe. In 19th century Franconia became part of the Bavaria.
The SPD in the city council of Nürnberg asked to raise the Franconian
red-white-flag..The president of the Franconian Union, Joachim Kalb, called
the current
situation as "circumstances like in colonial times".
The Minister explained, there is no free pole for the Franconian flag on the castle. The Edict request the other flags. Anyhow, the minister of finance is responsible for the flags on the castle.
The mayor of Nürnberg is now thinking about raising the Franconian flag
on a tower, which is belonging to the city.

J. Patrick Fischer, 9 Nov 2008
I recently came across a photograph of a rather mysterious flag [1],
hanging at the famous water castle Mespelbrunn in Franconia [2]. I first
thought that it might be a municipal flag, as it shows the general pattern
of Bavarian municipal flag: two stripes, with arms, hanging flag. However,
neither the county nor the municipal flag are similar.
The photograph itself was not clear enough to make out the details
of the arms; the stripes looked like yellow and blue.
Then I searched on the internet for images of the castle, with the
flag. I found quite a number of photographs [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10], and from
these I could identify the arms as the one of the family owning the castle
(Grafen von Ingelheim genannt Echter von und zu Mespelbrunn), quartering
the coats-of-arms of Ingelheim (Sable, a cross chequy of Or and Gules)
and Echter (Azure, a bend Argent charged with three annulets Azure). The
flag stripes are actually yellow-black, most probably derived from two
of the colours in the Ingelheim arms.
I made a crude drawing of the flag, using the arms on the castle website
A few general remarks:
1. My experience with this shows that one has to be very careful in
assessing the colours of a flag from a photograph. The photograph in the
newspaper (and several photos on the internet) showed the darker stripe
clearly as blue, whereas in fact it is black.
2. There are really many photographs of the castle, but usually they
show either a general view of the castle or some internal detail. None
of the photographers (at flickr.com at least) really cared for the flag
and took a good picture of the flag. We may conclude that flags go largely
unrecognized and they are photographed only by chance.
3. It is not uncommon, that castles, especially those still in private
ownership, do fly flags. However, these are usually distinguishable as
private/family flag, either by being banners-of-arms or by some other remarkable
feature. This flag, however, clearly evoked the association "municipal
