0bama´s representatives seem to be in the news today for incredible statements such as this! Another article posted reports that a WH official stated that Jesus was a refugee, when his lineage actually traces back through history in that particular area. It is shameful to have such ill-informed Administration ´officials´ representing the USA! Makes us look uninformed, when it is actually 0bama´s personal buds who spin, lie.

Are such idiots ever going to study up on the so called Palestinians which there never was and never will be as a race or nation.Get and read the book, "From Time Immemorial" by Joan Peters, first published in 1984.The origins of the Jewish conflict over Palestine.One of hundreds of reviews;"Every political issue claiming the attention of a world public has it´s ´experts´, news managers, anchor men, ax grinders, and anglers. The great merit of this book is to demonstrate that, on the Palestinian issue, these experts speak from utter ignorance. Millions of people the world over, smothered by false history and propaganda, will be grateful for this clear account of the origins of the Palestinians. ´From Time Immemorial´ does not grudge these unhappy people their rights. It does, however, dissolve the claims made by nationalist agitators and correct the false history by which these unfortunate Arabs are imposed upon and exploited."The author has dug beneath a half century accumulation of propaganda and brought into light the historical truth about the Middle-East with a wealth of authoritative evidence, she exposes the tangle of lies and false claims by which the Arabs have tried to justify their unending violence.

Did Israel invite the Obe-ite a place to stand where the incoming rockets and bombs would fall?The Palestinians do not want security and dignity. They want what some one else built.Something they would quickly turn into a hell hole just as they have created in the west bank.This tiny strip of land doesn´t even have enough land let known water.They only squatted there to await the rest of Islam to give them Israel.

As a non Jew I think I can be somewhat neutral in my observations. Israel has not been perfect (who has) but you have to be willfully blind not to know that they have been pushed by people that have threatened to murder each Israeli – every man, woman and child. We got a taste of that on9/11 – most folks just do not realize that if they could have the 9/11 terrorists would have murdered everyone in America. So to side against the Israelis you must be in favor of murderers or so blind that you couldn't find your way to water without help.

The Colorado Rockies could have had a bad day turn even worse on Monday if they had learned that Corey Dickerson was going to be out for an extended period of time. Outfield depth or not, to lose one of their best hitters to yet another injury right now might have been too much to take.
Dickerson, the guy who is getting increased playing time because of the rash of injuries that knocked out Michael Cuddyer and Carlos Gonzalez, was forced to exit Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers due to a cramp in his leg. On Monday we learned that everything is OK, with things made even better by the fact that Dickerson felt coming out of the game was unnecessary. As quoted by the Denver Post:
"I didn't even want to come out; they made me…I wasn't able to bend my leg for a few innings, and then when I took that swing, I went down on my knee and (my leg) locked up really good," he said. "I was able to pull out of the cramp. I got it in time, so I shouldn't even be sore (Monday)."
Dickerson was available and played on Monday. Unfortunately he entered the game as part of the fateful double-switch that inserted Rob Scahill on the mound, something that took away from the excitement just a little bit.
Not surprisingly Dickerson got a hit in his first at-bat of the game. For the season the 25-year-old outfielder is now batting .343/.403/.623 through 60 games. That is flat out mashing the ball, and whether the Rockies are irrelevant or not with the summer wearing on, it will be impossible to justify keeping his bat out of the lineup.
Watching Dickerson hit is now on the short list of my favorite things about the Rockies, so the fact that this was nothing more than a minor ding was a relief. Here's to many entertaining Dickerson at-bats from here on out, even if it is for a bad Rockies team.

"song count" not best measure | 29 comments | Create New Account
The following comments are owned by whoever posted them. This site is not responsible for what they say.
"song count" not best measure
I listen to classical and have another problem. Most symphonies, etc., come as separate movements for separate tracks. I rip the separate movements and then use iTunesJoin to join them into one, but keep the movements. That way, my shuffle sometimes just get individual movements and sometimes get the whole thing. But I have a bit less "songs" than "files".
"song count" not best measure
Note that you can set shuffle to "album" or "grouping", as well as "song". My classical collection plays 24x7 on album shuffle. I'd actually prefer grouping shuffle (more 'diversity') but most of the CD Database Entries don't have grouping info. Now when I add a new CD, I add the grouping info before ripping it. Eventually (when I'm totally bored :-) I'll go back and retro-fit grouping info on the existing collection.

One of the best indicators that spring is finally here to stay is when my rhubarb plant finally pops above the ground. It is incredibly faithful; no matter how cold the winter was, it never fails to grow again each May. Right now it is out-of-control, as the towering green leaves threaten to take over my entire garden. I've been looking for new ways to cook and bake with it, and was intrigued by several rhubarb upside-down cakes I spotted on Pinterest. However, I had a bucket of brioche in my fridge, so instead of mixing up cake batter I simply rolled out my dough and placed it over hot rhubarb and sugar. It was a success: a sweet-tart treat perfect for breakfast, or afternoon snacking.

Star Spangled Berry Pizza on the Grill – A Gold Medal Flour Post!
There is nothing more American than grilling on the 4th of July, well, maybe a star spangled pizza is the most patriotic of all. This is a super fast pizza that is ideal for breakfast, which I just served my family this morning, or can be throw together at your holiday BBQ as dessert. I made the pizza in a small baking sheet, but you can make a larger one if you have a crowd to feed.
Happy 4th of July! Continue reading
Red, White and Blue Brioche Tartlettes for the 4th of July!
With the 4th of July coming up I've been on a quest to create perfect picnic treats. Small and tasty fits that bill. Earlier this week I made Bakewell tarts on ZoeBakes and realized that it would be such an easy dessert to recreate using brioche dough, something I always have on hand. The tarts are made with a brioche crust, a spoon of jam, a layer of frangipane (almond cream) and topped with fresh fruit. I used cherries and blueberries to create red, white and blue tarts.

Brioche Berry Pudding – something gorgeous for Mother's Day!
This is a post I did a couple of years ago on Mother's Day. It is bright, cheery and gorgeous, just the thing to make for mom,especially after such a long winter. We MN mom's need a bit of sunshine!
Some things are worth a little more effort, right! Like a dessert for your mom on Mother's Day. This berry pudding is really very simple to make, but I admit it will take just a bit longer than 5 minutes to put together. Berry puddings are a slightly retro English sweet and I think they deserve a come back. Their drop dead gorgeous color comes from the dark berry juice soaked brioche, hiding a treasure of sweet, slightly drunken berries within.
You just can't resist something this wonderful and if you have a bucket of brioche on hand it will go together really very easily. Happy Spring to you all! Continue reading

"Mom, listen, I haven't been together with Topanga for 22 years, but we have been together for 16. That's a lot longer than most couples have been together. I mean, when we were born, you told me that we used to take walks in our strollers together around the block. When we were two, we were best friends. I mean, I knew everything about this girl. I knew her favorite color, her favorite food. Then we became six, Eric made fun of me because it wasn't cool to have a best friend that was a girl or even know a girl. So for the next seven years I threw dirt at her. I like to call those "the lost years". Then when I was thirteen, mom, she put me up against my locker and she kissed me. I mean, she gave me my first kiss. She taught me how to dance. She always was talking about these crazy things and I never understood a word she said. All I understood was that she was the girl I sat up every night thinking about, and when I'm with her, I feel happy to be alive. Like I can do anything. Even talk to you like this. So that's, that's what I think is love, mom. When I'm better because she's here." - Cory Matthews, Boy Meets World

Kiwi Mojito Popsicles Recipe
In a medium saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low, and add mint leaves. Leave to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain out the mint leaves, and pour the strained syrup into a blender. Add the rum, fresh lime juice, and 4 whole kiwis, pulse until blended. (If you would like, you can strain the mixture again to remove the kiwi seeds, but it's up to you!)
Pour the mixture into small Dixie cups, and freeze for an hour (or more) until the top of the popsicles are frozen. After slice the remaining kiwis to make thin coins, and use a knife to make a small slit in the center of each kiwi. Insert a popsicle stick into the slit, and then place the kiwis on top of each popsicle, pressing down just a little bit to be sure that it (just barely) sinks into the popsicle. Freeze until completely frozen.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
– Mark Twain
(part 1)
We all have dreams, to a lesser or greater degree. The difference between people who have dreams only of those who makes them reality is the ability to plan and execute. We all have fears, but few know how to live with the fear, know how to manage the risks. This is a fundamental step for anyone who wants to become an entrepreneur. There will be times when you have to leave the safe haven behind and venture into often turbulent waters, with storms lurking, or simply moments of calmness when nothing, absolutely nothing happens, customers do not knock your door, sales do not happen and bills never stop arriving. It's the moment of truth, the moment you take realise reality is tough. The entrepreneur will need cold blood to act very calmly, not despair and start making wrong decisions.
Making it happen
My tip for anyone who wants to be an entrepreneur, but do not know where to start is to risk as little as possible at first, gather as much information as possible about the market in which you want to invest. If possible, get a job at a company in that business area in order to learn as much as you can. Choose something you really like to do, there's nothing worse than working on something that one does not have affinity. When working on something you like that work becomes pleasure. Start small and move quickly, larger and longer established competitors in the market often are accommodated and take too long to make a decision. This is the time that you should act.
Be innovative
Always seek to innovate, regardless of the market on which you are working, you can always innovate and amaze your customers, offer new payment methods, new forms to deliver your product, new sales strategies, new promotions, try what has not been tried , do what has not been done. Choose your path and leave footprints rather than follow in the footsteps of others. It's a mistake to think that everything has already been created, has been tried, there are still many things to improve, many new ideas to put into practice. Do what everyone does is easy but if you have a differential from the other, you'll put yourself in a pretty good position, customers will find you and the competition will have to copy you.

Forza's monthly DLC pack trailers are pure auto pornography. I'm not really a car person, but those trailers make me want to be one.
This trailer stressed me out. Partly because I don't know a whole lot about cars, and partly because the sound guys at Forza know a hell of a lot about cars. They are also amazing designers. Next time I hope I get one with a little more room to breathe around the soundtrack like the March DLC Trailer. There's some awesome design moments in that one.
I also remixed their Horizon trailer a few weeks ago which I hope to share soon. Turns out there was some amazing sound design under all that dubstep.

In 2011 Daniel Tosh Aired an Actual Rape on his Show
After finding out this happened, I was really on the fence about posting it. It's a disturbing video, from what I've heard. I haven't watched the whole thing because discriptions from friends has been enough. Make no mistake, this is an actual rape happening. Tosh and Comedy Central thought it was funny enough to put on the air and make fun of.
Please if you haven't yet, sign the petition to get this man off television. He is a disgusting vile rape apologist and deserves absolutely nothing.
Viacom, the owners of Comedy Central also has a contact page. Please contact them and let them know how disgusting this is.

Parallel Worlds Exist and Will Soon Be Testable, Expert Says
January 20, 2014
...we are but one of many universes and at least one of these other worlds lies close to ours, maybe only a millimeter away. We can't see this world, because it exists in a type of space different from the four dimensions of our everyday reality.
From Institute for Emerging Ethics & Technologies. By Dick Pelletier.
Is there another you reading this article at this exact moment in a parallel universe? Dr. Brian Greene, author of The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos, believes that this freakish quirk of nature may exist...
A growing number of cosmologists agree with Greene that we are but one of many universes and at least one of these other worlds lies close to ours, maybe only a millimeter away. We can't see this world, because it exists in a type of space different from the four dimensions of our everyday reality.
MIT's Max Tegmark believes this multiverse model of 'many universes' is grounded in modern physics and will eventually be testable, predictive and disprovable. "This is not sci-fi," he says, "its real science."
As research at the CERN Large Hadron Collider progresses, scientists are talking increasingly of a "new physics" on the horizon, which promises to help researchers understand more of the unknowns about our universe. This new approach includes developing a better understanding of dark energy, a mystery force that some forward thinkers believe indicates that a 'sister' universe lurks in our neighborhood.
Strange happenings have been observed by cosmologists such as the Andromeda galaxy, 2.2 million light-years away speeding towards the Milky Way at 200,000 mph. This phenomenon makes sense logically if gravity leaking from an invisible universe were pulling the two galaxies together.
Imagine visiting another Earth where an alternate you is living a more rewarding life than yours, and you could trade places if you both agreed....
Researchers at the WMAP space telescope recently discovered a force 10,000 times larger than the Milky Way, which they believe offers powerful evidence that a parallel universe may be in the area.
In another attempt to search for parallel worlds, NASA installed the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-2 at the ISS to record data that may prove the existence of other universes, some of which might even be made of anti-matter. Unraveling this cosmic mystery has attracted worldwide interest. The project draws support from most EU nations; plus Taiwan, China, Russia, and the U.S.
...Another universe may exist close by, but in order for us to observe or communicate with it; we must first understand its different dimensions. We might envision them as "new kinds of sideways."
...Greene adds that some universes may be almost indistinguishable from ours; others may contain variations of all of us, where we exist but with different families, careers, and life stories. In still others, reality may be so radically different from ours as to be unrecognizable.
Experts predict that as the coming decades unwind, with intelligence advancing exponentially, this 'over-the-top' concept will one day become a proven fact. Imagine visiting another Earth where an alternate you is living a more rewarding life than yours, and you could trade places if you both agreed....
Scientists Claim Quantum Theory Proves Consciousness Moves to Another Universe at Death
January 11, 2014
A book titled "Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness Are the Keys to Understanding the Nature of the Universe" has stirred up the Internet because it contained a notion that life does not end when the body dies...[A]uthor...Dr. Robert Lanza, who was voted the 3rd most important scientist alive by the NY Times, has no doubts that this is possible.
From SpiritScienceAndMetaphysics.com, "Scientists Claim That Quantum Theory Proves Consciousness Moves To Another Universe At Death"
Beyond time and space
Lanza is an expert in regenerative medicine and scientific director of Advanced Cell Technology Company. Before he has been known for his extensive research which dealt with stem cells, he was also famous for several successful experiments on cloning endangered animal species.
But not so long ago, the scientist became involved with physics, quantum mechanics and astrophysics. This explosive mixture has given birth to the new theory of biocentrism, which the professor has been preaching ever since. Biocentrism teaches that life and consciousness are fundamental to the universe. It is consciousness that creates the material universe, not the other way around.
Lanza points to the structure of the universe itself, and that the laws, forces, and constants of the universe appear to be fine-tuned for life, implying intelligence existed prior to matter. He also claims that space and time are not objects or things, but rather tools of our animal understanding. Lanza says that we carry space and time around with us "like turtles with shells." meaning that when the shell comes off (space and time), we still exist.
The theory implies that death of consciousness simply does not exist. It only exists as a thought because people identify themselves with their body...
Lanza also believes that multiple universes can exist simultaneously. In one universe, the body can be dead. And in another it continues to exist, absorbing consciousness which migrated into this universe....
Multiple worlds
...In the 1980s, Andrei Linde, scientist from the Lebedev's Institute of physics, developed the theory of multiple universes. He is now a professor at Stanford University. Linde explained: Space consists of many inflating spheres, which give rise to similar spheres, and those, in turn, produce spheres in even greater numbers, and so on to infinity. In the universe, they are spaced apart. They are not aware of each other's existence. But they represent parts of the same physical universe.
The fact that our universe is not alone is supported by data received from the Planck space telescope. Using the data, scientists have created the most accurate map of the microwave background, the so-called cosmic relic background radiation, which has remained since the inception of our universe. They also found that the universe has a lot of dark recesses represented by some holes and extensive gaps.
Theoretical physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton from the North Carolina University with her colleagues argue: the anomalies of the microwave background exist due to the fact that our universe is influenced by other universes existing nearby. And holes and gaps are a direct result of attacks on us by neighboring universes.
Consciousness resides, according to Stuart and British physicist Sir Roger Penrose, in the microtubules of the brain cells, which are the primary sites of quantum processing.
So, there is abundance of places or other universes where our soul could migrate after death, according to the theory of neo-biocentrism. But does the soul exist? Is there any scientific theory of consciousness that could accommodate such a claim? According to Dr. Stuart Hameroff, a near-death experience happens when the quantum information that inhabits the nervous system leaves the body and dissipates into the universe. Contrary to materialistic accounts of consciousness, Dr. Hameroff offers an alternative explanation of consciousness that can perhaps appeal to both the rational scientific mind and personal intuitions.
Consciousness resides, according to Stuart and British physicist Sir Roger Penrose, in the microtubules of the brain cells, which are the primary sites of quantum processing. Upon death, this information is released from your body, meaning that your consciousness goes with it. They have argued that our experience of consciousness is the result of quantum gravity effects in these microtubules, a theory which they dubbed orchestrated objective reduction (Orch-OR).
Consciousness, or at least proto-consciousness is theorized by them to be a fundamental property of the universe, present even at the first moment of the universe during the Big Bang. "In one such scheme proto-conscious experience is a basic property of physical reality accessible to a quantum process associated with brain activity."
Our souls are in fact constructed from the very fabric of the universe – and may have existed since the beginning of time. Our brains are just receivers and amplifiers for the proto-consciousness that is intrinsic to the fabric of space-time. So is there really a part of your consciousness that is non-material and will live on after the death of your physical body?
Dr Hameroff told the Science Channel's Through the Wormhole documentary: "Let's say the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing, the microtubules lose their quantum state. The quantum information within the microtubules is not destroyed, it can't be destroyed, it just distributes and dissipates to the universe at large". Robert Lanza would add here that not only does it exist in the universe, it exists perhaps in another universe.
If the patient is resuscitated, revived, this quantum information can go back into the microtubules and the patient says "I had a near death experience"'
He adds: "If they're not revived, and the patient dies, it's possible that this quantum information can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely, as a soul."
...The energy of your consciousness potentially gets recycled back into a different body at some point, and in the mean time it exists outside of the physical body on some other level of reality, and possibly in another universe.

Scientists Show How Thoughts Cause Molecular Changes to Your Genes
January 07, 2014
"...you can literally change the fate of your cells by altering your thoughts....The function of the mind is to create coherence between our beliefs and the reality we experience....What that means is that your mind will adjust the body's biology and behavior to fit with your beliefs." ~ Bruce Lipton
From TuneBody.com, "Scientists Finally Show How Your Thoughts Cause Specific Molecular Changes to Your Genes"
The study investigated the effects of a day of intensive mindfulness practice in a group of experienced meditators, compared to a group of untrained control subjects who engaged in quiet non-meditative activities. After eight hours of mindfulness practice, the meditators showed a range of genetic and molecular differences, including altered levels of gene-regulating machinery and reduced levels of pro-inflammatory genes, which in turn correlated with faster physical recovery from a stressful situation.
"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper that shows rapid alterations in gene expression within subjects associated with mindfulness meditation practice," says study author Richard J. Davidson, founder of the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds and the William James and Vilas Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
"Most interestingly, the changes were observed in genes that are the current targets of anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs," says Perla Kaliman, first author of the article and a researcher at the Institute of Biomedical Research of Barcelona, Spain (IIBB-CSIC-IDIBAPS), where the molecular analyses were conducted.
The study was published in the Journal Psychoneuroendocrinology.
Mindfulness-based trainings have shown beneficial effects on inflammatory disorders in prior clinical studies and are endorsed by the American Heart Association as a preventative intervention. The new results provide a possible biological mechanism for therapeutic effects.
Gene Activity Can Change According To Perception
According to Dr. Bruce Lipton, gene activity can change on a daily basis. If the perception in your mind is reflected in the chemistry of your body, and if your nervous system reads and interprets the environment and then controls the blood's chemistry, then you can literally change the fate of your cells by altering your thoughts.
In fact, Dr. Lipton's research illustrates that by changing your perception, your mind can alter the activity of your genes and create over thirty thousand variations of products from each gene. He gives more detail by saying that the gene programs are contained within the nucleus of the cell, and you can rewrite those genetic programs through changing your blood chemistry.
People have been programmed to believe that they're victims and that they have no control.
In the simplest terms, this means that we need to change the way we think if we are to heal cancer. "The function of the mind is to create coherence between our beliefs and the reality we experience," Dr. Lipton said. "What that means is that your mind will adjust the body's biology and behavior to fit with your beliefs. If you've been told you'll die in six months and your mind believes it, you most likely will die in six months. That's called the nocebo effect, the result of a negative thought, which is the opposite of the placebo effect, where healing is mediated by a positive thought."
That dynamic points to a three-party system: there's the part of you that swears it doesn't want to die (the conscious mind), trumped by the part that believes you will (the doctor's prognosis mediated by the subconscious mind), which then throws into gear the chemical reaction (mediated by the brain's chemistry) to make sure the body conforms to the dominant belief. (Neuroscience has recognized that the subconscious controls 95 percent of our lives.)
Now what about the part that doesn't want to die–the conscious mind? Isn't it impacting the body's chemistry as well? Dr. Lipton said that it comes down to how the subconscious mind, which contains our deepest beliefs, has been programmed. It is these beliefs that ultimately cast the deciding vote.
"It's a complex situation," said Dr. Lipton. People have been programmed to believe that they're victims and that they have no control. We're programmed from the start with our mother and father's beliefs. So, for instance, when we got sick, we were told by our parents that we had to go to the doctor because the doctor is the authority concerning our health. We all got the message throughout childhood that doctors were the authority on health and that we were victims of bodily forces beyond our ability to control. The joke, however, is that people often get better while on the way to the doctor. That's when the innate ability for self-healing kicks in, another example of the placebo effect.
...The new science of epigenetics promises that every person on the planet has the opportunity to become who they really are, complete with unimaginable power and the ability to operate from, and go for, the highest possibilities, including healing our bodies and our culture and living in peace.
A Whiff of Dark Matter on the International Space Station
January 02, 2014
In science fiction, finding antimatter on board your spaceship is not good news. Usually, it means you're moments away from an explosion. In real life, though, finding antimatter could lead to a Nobel Prize.
From NASA.gov, "A Whiff of Dark Matter on the ISS"
by Dr. Tony Phillips
On April 3rd, researchers led by Nobel Laureate Samuel Ting of MIT announced that the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, a particle detector operating onboard the International Space Station since 2011, has counted more than 400,000 positrons, the antimatter equivalent of electrons. There's no danger of an explosion, but the discovery is sending shock waves through the scientific community.
"These data show the existence of a new physical phenomenon," wrote Ting and colleagues in an article published in the Physical Review Letters. "It could be a sign of dark matter."
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer ("AMS" for short) was delivered to the ISS by the space shuttle Endeavour on its final flight in May 2011. In its first 18 months of operations, from May 19, 2011 to December 10, 2012, the AMS analyzed 25 billion cosmic ray events. Of these, an unprecedented number were unambiguously identified as positrons.
Cosmic rays are subatomic particles such as protons and helium nuclei accelerated to near-light speed by supernova explosions and other violent events in the cosmos. Researchers have long known that cosmic rays contain a sprinkling of antimatter. Italy's PAMELA satellite detected high-energy positrons in 2009, and NASA's Fermi gamma-ray observatory confirmed the find two years later.
But where do the positrons come from? The Universe is almost completely devoid of antimatter, so the positron fraction of cosmic ray electrons--as much as 10%--is a little surprising.
One idea is dark matter. Astronomers know that the vast majority of the material Universe is actually made of dark matter rather than ordinary matter. They just don't know what dark matter is. It exerts gravity, but emits no light, which makes it devilishly difficult to study.
A leading theory holds that dark matter is made of a particle called the neutralino. Collisions between neutralinos should produce a large number of high-energy positrons, which the AMS should be able to detect with unprecedented sensitivity.
"The accuracy of our measurements is 1%, which is excellent, and we have statistics unmatched by any other spacecraft," says Ting.
"So far the evidence supports the hypothesis of dark matter. But," he cautions," it does not rule out another possibility--pulsars."
Pulsars are strongly-magnetized neutron stars formed in the aftermath of supernova explosions. They can spin on their axes thousands of times a second, flinging particles into space with fantastic energies that accelerators on Earth can't match. Among these particles are pairs of electrons and positrons.
AMS can distinguish between pulsars and dark matter--but not yet. "We need more data at higher energies to decide which is the correct explanation," says Ting. "It is only a matter of time, perhaps months or a few years."
Built by scientists from 16 countries with support from the US Dept. of Energy, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer will continue operating for the rest of the life of the space station at least until 2020. Between now and then, the mystery of dark matter could be solved, once and for all.
Physicists discover 'clearest evidence yet' that the Universe is a hologram
December 16, 2013
Latest calculations chime with 1997 theory that reality is only perceived as 3D and is actually a 2D projection on the boundary of the universe.
From The Independent as excerpted from Nature.com. "Simulations back up theory that Universe is a hologram" By Ron Cowen.
A team of physicists have provided what has been described by the journal Nature as the "clearest evidence yet" that our universe is a hologram.
The new research could help reconcile one of modern physics' most enduring problems : the apparent inconsistencies between the different models of the universe as explained by quantum physics and Einstein's theory of gravity.
The two new scientific papers are the culmination of years' work led by Yoshifumi Hyakutake of Ibaraki University in Japan, and deal with hypothetical calculations of the energies of black holes in different universes.
The idea of the universe existing as a 'hologram' doesn't refer to a Matrix-like illusion, but the theory that the three dimensions we perceive are actually just "painted" onto the cosmological horizon - the boundary of the known universe.
If this sounds paradoxical, try to imagine a holographic picture that changes as you move it. Although the picture is two dimensional, observing it from different locations creates the illusion that it is 3D.
This model of the universe helps explain some inconsistencies between general relativity (Einstein's theory) and quantum physics. Although Einstein's work underpins much of modern physics, at certain extremes (such as in the middle of a black hole) the principles he outlined break down and the laws of quantum physics take over.
The traditional method of reconciling these two models has come from the 1997 work of theoretical physicist Juan Maldacena, whose ideas built upon string theory. This is one of the most well respected 'theories of everything' (Stephen Hawking is a fan) and it posits that one-dimensional vibrating objects known as 'strings' are the elementary particles of the universe.
Maldacena has welcomed the new research by Hyakutake and his team, telling the journal Nature that the findings are "an interesting way to test many ideas in quantum gravity and string theory."
Leonard Susskind, a theoretical physicist regarded as one of the fathers of string theory, added that the work by the Japanese team "numerically confirmed, perhaps for the first time, something we were fairly sure had to be true, but was still a conjecture."
Scientist Proves DNA Can Be Reprogrammed by Words and Frequencies
December 11, 2013
...Researchers think that if humans...regain group consciousness, they would have a god-like power to create, alter and shape things on Earth! AND humanity is collectively moving toward such a group consciousness of the new kind.
From Wakeup World. By Grazyna Fosar and Franz Bludorf.
THE HUMAN DNA IS A BIOLOGICAL INTERNET and superior in many aspects to the artificial one. Russian scientific research directly or indirectly explains phenomena such as clairvoyance, intuition, spontaneous and remote acts of healing, self healing, affirmation techniques, unusual light/auras around people (namely spiritual masters), mind's influence on weather patterns and much more. In addition, there is evidence for a whole new type of medicine in which DNA can be influenced and reprogrammed by words and frequencies WITHOUT cutting out and replacing single genes.
Only 10% of our DNA is being used for building proteins. It is this subset of DNA that is of interest to western researchers and is being examined and categorized. The other 90% are considered "junk DNA." The Russian researchers, however, convinced that nature was not dumb, joined linguists and geneticists in a venture to explore those 90% of "junk DNA." Their results, findings and conclusions are simply revolutionary! According to them, our DNA is not only responsible for the construction of our body but also serves as data storage and in communication. The Russian linguists found that the genetic code, especially in the apparently useless 90%, follows the same rules as all our human languages. To this end they compared the rules of syntax (the way in which words are put together to form phrases and sentences), semantics (the study of meaning in language forms) and the basic rules of grammar. They found that the alkalines of our DNA follow a regular grammar and do have set rules just like our languages. So human languages did not appear coincidentally but are a reflection of our inherent DNA.
The Russian biophysicist and molecular biologist Pjotr Garjajev and his colleagues also explored the vibrational behavior of the DNA. [For the sake of brevity I will give only a summary here. For further exploration please refer to the appendix at the end of this article.] The bottom line was: "Living chromosomes function just like solitonic/holographic computers using the endogenous DNA laser radiation." This means that they managed for example to modulate certain frequency patterns onto a laser ray and with it influenced the DNA frequency and thus the genetic information itself. Since the basic structure of DNA-alkaline pairs and of language (as explained earlier) are of the same structure, no DNA decoding is necessary.
One can simply use words and sentences of the human language! This, too, was experimentally proven! Living DNA substance (in living tissue, not in vitro) will always react to language-modulated laser rays and even to radio waves, if the proper frequencies are being used.
This way the entire information was transmitted without any of the side effects or disharmonies encountered when cutting out and re-introducing single genes from the DNA. This represents an unbelievable, world-transforming revolution and sensation!
This finally and scientifically explains why affirmations, autogenous training, hypnosis and the like can have such strong effects on humans and their bodies. It is entirely normal and natural for our DNA to react to language. While western researchers cut single genes from the DNA strands and insert them elsewhere, the Russians enthusiastically worked on devices that can influence the cellular metabolism through suitable modulated radio and light frequencies and thus repair genetic defects.
Garjajev's research group succeeded in proving that with this method chromosomes damaged by x-rays for example can be repaired. They even captured information patterns of a particular DNA and transmitted it onto another, thus reprogramming cells to another genome. So they successfully transformed, for example, frog embryos to salamander embryos simply by transmitting the DNA information patterns! This way the entire information was transmitted without any of the side effects or disharmonies encountered when cutting out and re-introducing single genes from the DNA. This represents an unbelievable, world-transforming revolution and sensation! All this by simply applying vibration and language instead of the archaic cutting-out procedure! This experiment points to the immense power of wave genetics, which obviously has a greater influence on the formation of organisms than the biochemical processes of alkaline sequences.
Esoteric and spiritual teachers have known for ages that our body is programmable by language, words and thought. This has now been scientifically proven and explained. Of course the frequency has to be correct. And this is why not everybody is equally successful or can do it with always the same strength. The individual person must work on the inner processes and maturity in order to establish a conscious communication with the DNA. The Russian researchers work on a method that is not dependent on these factors but will ALWAYS work, provided one uses the correct frequency.
But the higher developed an individual's consciousness is, the less need is there for any type of device! One can achieve these results by oneself, and science will finally stop to laugh at such ideas and will confirm and explain the results. And it doesn't end there. The Russian scientists also found out that our DNA can cause disturbing patterns in the vacuum, thus producing magnetized wormholes! Wormholes are the microscopic equivalents of the so-called Einstein-Rosen bridges in the vicinity of black holes (left by burned-out stars). These are tunnel connections between entirely different areas in the universe through which information can be transmitted outside of space and time. The DNA attracts these bits of information and passes them on to our consciousness. This process of hyper communication is most effective in a state of relaxation. Stress, worries or a hyperactive intellect prevent successful hyper communication or the information will be totally distorted and useless.
Under certain conditions stable wormholes can organize themselves which then form distinctive vacuum domains in which for example gravity can transform into electricity...
...When hyper communication occurs, one can observe in the DNA as well as in the human being special phenomena. The Russian scientists irradiated DNA samples with laser light. On screen a typical wave pattern was formed. When they removed the DNA sample, the wave pattern did not disappear, it remained. Many control experiments showed that the pattern still came from the removed sample, whose energy field apparently remained by itself. This effect is now called phantom DNA effect. It is surmised that energy from outside of space and time still flows through the activated wormholes after the DNA was removed. The side effect encountered most often in hyper communication also in human beings are inexplicable electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of the persons concerned....
Hyper communication in the new millennium means something quite different: Researchers think that if humans with full individuality would regain group consciousness, they would have a god-like power to create, alter and shape things on Earth! AND humanity is collectively moving toward such a group consciousness of the new kind.
...To come back to the DNA: It apparently is also an organic superconductor that can work at normal body temperature. Artificial superconductors require extremely low temperatures of between 200 and 140°C to function. As one recently learned, all superconductors are able to store light and thus information. This is a further explanation of how the DNA can store information. There is another phenomenon linked to DNA and wormholes. Normally, these supersmall wormholes are highly unstable and are maintained only for the tiniest fractions of a second. Under certain conditions stable wormholes can organize themselves which then form distinctive vacuum domains in which for example gravity can transform into electricity....

A LETTER from the Commissioners of Scotland, from
Worcester House, of 1 Augusti 1647, concerning
the Carriage of some Soldiers of the Army to the Lord
Lauderdale, one of the Commissioners of the Kingdom
of Scotland, employed from the Committee of Estates of
Scotland to attend his Majesty's Person.
Edward Makyn, the Messenger, employed from both
Houses, with Letters from both Houses, to the General,
and the Commissioners with the Army, being called in,
to give an Account to the House of his Employment, informed the House, that, the Employment being of some
Importance, he had set down his Proceedings in Writing;
and had subscribed it with his Hand; and that it was
Truth he had there set down; and would witness it with
his Life.
The said Narative (he being commanded to deliver it
in) was read; and was in hæc verba; viz.
I Edward Makin, on Friday Night last, about Ten
of the Clock at Night, by Command from both Houses
of Parliament, was sent with Letters, one to the General
Sir Thomas Fairefax, and another to the Commissioners
of the Parliament, residing in the Army: And I went
first to Hounslow, and thence to St. Albanes, and thence to
Dunstable, and from thence to Wobourne; and, not hearing where the Head Quarters of the Army were, until I
came there, then I went to Layton, and from thence to
Wickham, where the Head Quarters of the Army were;
and upon Saturday, about Four of Five of the Clock in
the Afternoon, I delivered the Letter to the General, and
the Letter to the Commissioners: And, on Saturday
Night, about Nine of Clock, I attended the General for
an Answer, but could not receive any; but was commanded to attend Sunday Morning, about Seven or Eight
of Clock: At which time I accordingly attended; but
could not receive any Answer, notwithstanding I attended
till about Twelve of Clock; and then I was commanded
to attend the General to his Quarters at Colebrook; where,
about Nine or Ten of Clock at Night, the Secretary going
with me to the General for his Answer, the General told
me, He knew not what Answer to send, nor who to write
to, without he should send to Westminster Hall: And I
returned this Answer to some of the Commissioners; and
they said they knew not what to send; and said, that I
saw how Things were, and could give Information thereof,
and where the Army were: And I left the Army at Colebrook; and I did understand that their Rendesvous was
appointed to be this Day at Hounslow Heath.-Dated
2 Augusti 1647.
Edward Makyn.
The Narrative being read; and Makyn being demanded, Who those Some of the Commissioners were, that
he returned the General's Answer unto, said, They were
Sir Thomas Widdrington and Mr. Scawen; and that Mr.
Blakiston was there.
Makyn, the Messenger, was again called in: And he
was asked, Whether he desired any Answer of the Letter
ent to the Commissioners: He answered, He delivered
the Letter to Sir Henry Vane, at Wickham, on Saturday,
about Four in the Afternoon: And their Answer was,
That he saw how Things went in the Army; and that he
could satisfy the House of the Proceedings.
A Letter from Sir Samuell Luke, of primo Augusti 1647,
signifying his being taken Prisoner by Forty Soldiers, and
carried away from his own House, was read.

The Lord Carre is appointed to carry the said Order
so amended, to the Lords; and to desire, That a Committee of both Houses may be appointed to attend the
King's Children into the City; and to see this Order
put in Execution.

belonging to Justice Rolle, and his Servants, be forthwith
restored unto him, and his Servants, according to the

You are bidding on a pair of 4" diameter (approximate 10.5" circumference) genuine antique glass Japanese fishing floats, one of green glass and one of blue glass. The green float appears to have been made in 2 sections which were fused together. T is a seam that runs all the way around the center of the green float dividing it into 2 hemisps. The glass on the green float also has a many faceted or "hammertone" type finish that is not apparent in the photos. The green float has markings on one side in 2 different places near the "button" that look like the number 11 or 2 parallel straight lines. The blue float has a stamping in the glass of the "button" that appear to be the letters D.G inside a rectangular box. The blue float also has a curved line in the glass that runs from the "button" to about 1/3 of the way around the float. This line is not apparent in the photos. It is a curved line that looks like a crack, but it is really some kind of a defect in the glass. It is probably a scratch that happened when the float was made and the glass was still pliable I did several submersion tests to verify that it is definitely not a crack. We are offering these 2 unique floats as a pair. All of our glass fishing floats were discovered on various beaches in Alaska during the 1960's and 1970's and most have been in storage since that time.
