End of the World? Hear the 2012 Prophecy … Direct from the Mouths of the Mayan Priests
Ignore Second-Hand Information … Hear the Real Prophecy
Preface: The Mayan 2012 end of the world "prophecy" is scaring the pants off numerous children and suicidal teeangers. 1-in-10 people believe that the Mayans have prophesied the end of the world (and see this). A Google search for "Maya 2012" currently brings up 325 million hits, only slightly less than a search for the most popular words.
This post is a public service announcement to reach children and adults scared about the Mayan prophecy … to show with the Mayan priests' own words that the world will not end in 2012.
Many people are talking about the Mayan 2012 prophecy.
But few know what the Mayan priests actually said about 2012.
In reality, Mayan elders say something very different from what you might have heard.
For example, Wakatel Utiw – leader of the National Council of Elders Mayas, Xinca and Garifuna, Day Keeper of the Mayan Calendar, and 13th generation Quiche Mayan Spiritual Leader - says that the end of the Maya calendar has nothing to do with the end of the world.
He also explains that December 21, 2012 might not even be the end of this cycle of the calendar:
Contrary to popular belief the living elders of the Maya do not agree that December 21, 2012 is the end of their calendar. A new "Sun" represents the beginning of a new Long Count cycle in the calendar system of approximately 5,200 years, which they say may not happen for many years.
And see this.
(A brand new film called "Shift of the Ages" tells the Mayans' beliefs in detail … and gives their true warnings.)
Similarly, Tz'utujil Mayan elder Tata Pedro Cruz says that the world will not end in 2012:
Mayan elder and priest Carlos Barrios – who has extensively studied the Mayan calendars – says:
Anthropologists visit the temple sites and read the inscriptions and make up stories about the Maya, but they do not read the signs correctly. It's just their imagination. Other people write about prophecy in the name of the Maya. They say that the world will end in December 2012. The Mayan elders are angry with this. The world will not end. It will be transformed."
Leonzo Barreno – a Guatemalan native who was trained by Mayan elders to read the ancient calendars – says says the 'apocalypse' concept is a false interpretation of the Long Count calendar, that the Mayan elders taught him that December 21 this year simply marks the start of a new calendar:
'There are two sides to the story,' he told CBC. 'The one that we know is this apocalyptic meaning that has been given to the Long Count.
'The other side of the story is the Mayan side, which you rarely see on media articles, because they never interview my own people.'
'For them it's a joyous event, not an apocalyptic event. What is coming is the end of a calendar and the beginning of a new one.
Ricardo Cajas – president of the Collective of Native Organizations of Colectivo de Organizaciones Indígenas de Guatemala – says the date did not represent an end of humanity or fulfillment of the catastrophic prophecies, but that the new cycle "supposes changes in human consciousness." (Translation).
Pedro Celestino Yac Noj – a Mayan sage living in Cuba – says:
The 21st is for giving thanks and gratitude and the 22nd welcomes the new cycle, a new dawn.
Rather than being the end of the world, Mayan priest Jose Manrique Esquive believes that 2012 may bring a transition to a better time for humankind.
And AP noted in 2009:
Apolinario Chile Pixtun is tired of being bombarded with frantic questions about the Mayan calendar supposedly "running out" on Dec. 21, 2012. After all, it's not the end of the world.
Definitely not, the Mayan Indian elder insists.
Chile Pixtun, a Guatemalan, says the doomsday theories spring from Western, not Mayan ideas.
And if you don't believe what the current Mayan leaders say, please remember that archaeologists recently found a cache of ancient Mayan calendars which goes thousands of years past 2012. And see this.
Note: The Mayan elders do make prophetic warnings, but it has nothing to do with 2012. Specifically, they warn that we need to rein in war and pollution or we will destroy ourselves.
Given that numerous end of the world prophecies have come and gone without incident, and that the Pope has declared that – due to a miscalculation – we are currently in AD 2016, not 2012 – it is smart to take all date-specific predictions with a spoonful of cynicism.

Made me laugh.
More 'mesoamerican' kicking of pottery, stealing of land from pre-mesoamericans, slavery of non-mesoamericans, all for maintaing 'mesoamerican' lifestyle of farming the jungle floor and exporting the teak. For 'mesoamericans', the group human sacrifice is all.
But hey, in 'mesoamericanism', the temple-building class is the king class. Just have to bear with it.
Not seen one time a link to reference the article from that Mayan citizen author that laudates the entrepreneurial spirit of the young Mayan citizenism citizens going to find flint nappery opportunities in Tikal.
Contrary history to fabled past is sweeped under grass mat and pottery kicked on top of mat.
Free press. Speak of everything but for some piece of information.
Same old song. Mayan citizenism and Mayan citizenism comments, as usual. Nothing new here.
It is the same story since the beginning. Mayan citizens are split in duos, dancing for the same purpose. The pottery kickers, they will deny all the way the sacrifice limitation issue.
The tomorrow, it happens. They want to create a sense of emergency by claiming it will happen tomorrow or has already happened. Yet the underlying issue is not addressed. Sacrifice is limited.
7 of 7, 365 of 365, 24 of 24, in all bivalvular crustiness. One day, it will be tomorrow, no matter the whatness.
Bear with it.
You two should have a show on the Comedy Channel! :>D
Kind of like the Chinese organ harvesting for profit. They make you pay for your bullet before they shoot you.
The FoxConn workers making iCrap have been warned.
The FoxConn workers making iCrap have been warned.
Sorry, Freddie, you need to update your talk-radio acquired programming. Foxconn workers have recently striked, and Foxconn quality control managers have also striked after workers beat the crap out of them.
The first civilisation of Mesoamerica were the Olmecs. They started animal sacrifices and human blood-letting as religious ritual.
It was the Aztecs that went berzerkers and killed about 20,00 of their own people a year.
Well, it wasn't really they're own people. The Mexico City guys were enslaving and ritually killing all the other people. Which is why Cortez was able, with only 350 men, to take down an empire of millions. Many of the enslaved city-states joined his army on the march to take down the empire.
They started animal sacrifices and human blood-letting as religious ritual. It was the Aztecs that went berzerkers and killed about 20,000 of their own people a year.
When the SHTF and the ObamTheMullahCards stop despensing The Bernanke's worthless FIAT - this Aztec's hijinx will look like a walk in the park.
i'm more worried about automation...
It's not the robots I'm afraid of. The speech was all good until he started talking about creating a non-worker's Utopia.
Just because one person in 10,000 can create innovations that support the 9999, doesn't mean that 99.99% of that innovators income should be redistributed.
Of course, if everyone replaces all their workers with robots, who will have money to buy stuff? The Public Sector employees will still be there even once the private sector is gone.
His vision of the techno-topia sounds great, until that CME hits.
If the pope says it's actually AD 2016, then we passed AD 2012 4 years ago without incident...
Father Nelson
Rev. John Hagee told me this Sunday on TV that the Rapture Flight to Heaven won't happen until after 4 Blood Moons sometime in 2015.
TEOTWAWKI has been put off again.
I want to open one of those pet care insurance scams for left behind pets of the raptured. Still have time.
Don't forget everyone's gonna haveta get some new sneaks, too.
thx for the re-visual. . .
to the bunk'd beds!!
since the beginning the end of the world as used to control the little people.
the christians use the book of revelation which has produced maybe 100 end of civilization outcomes
its like people years ago could tell the future .. most likely they were feeling quezy about the rotten meat they just eat/.
or the little interpretations are squed to have a alarming outcome to sell something
or to flex stupid brain cells to equal the spit in most of the touts that thrive on more spit .
the human brain is wired for little pools of spit
I spent nearly 5 seconds this morning trying to interpret the inscriptions carved onto an Oreo cookie. It looked very apopolyptic, so I consumed it like a teenager.
Kids should be more freightened of reality than any Mayan BS. Our mullah is more of a threat than any Mayan nonsense. The end is coming but not the one they expected. Keep watching TV and hollywood's crap - kids - they enjoy brainwashing idiots.
Is Ben the astronaut figure? He needs to be hooked up to the controls then...plus facing star ward...
It is a shame Syd went nuts from too many drugs. This period from Waters trying to write songs really sucked.
The record business isn't made for a real artist like Syd Barrett, one who can think outside of time signatures and key signatures.
the corporate mu-sick industry is a for-profit entity. what it puts out is what gets fed in.
there ARE alternatives, independent of those factory-farms, evolved over time, outside the box(es). . .
The question is not; Why do humans believe the end of the world is near?
The real question is; Why do humans want the end of the world to be near?
Ironically, the last person you would want to survive a disaster with is a nihilist.
[...]the date did not represent an end of humanity or fulfillment of the catastrophic prophecies, but that the new cycle "supposes changes in human consciousness."
[...]They say that the world will end in December 2012. The Mayan elders are angry with this. The world will not end. It will be transformed."
There's hope the Mayan elders are talking about the exposure of the biggest scam in the history of the world and that people will wake up on the morning of the 22nd and collectively think FUCK YOU BERNANKE, FUCK YOU FED.
Now that's transformation I want to believe in.
It's time to prepare for the second coming. The catalysts are the events of 9/11 and the fall of the American empire in 2008. Those two are epic events of biblical proportions. Not biblical events itself. Although, isn't it time the bible gets expanded beyond the first two centuries AD? So much has happened since then which has relevance to "belief" and "faith" and by God's grace we are still around to talk about it and live to see another day.
Christians are too complacent in this age. The Pharisees and Saduccees are still in full control of the Sanhedrin. Christians are not recognizing the true state of their enemy and have been sucked in by distraction of a secular Christmas holiday for example.
Hypocrites! Going from the place where their strongest opposition resides into the unchurched world to preach a message that they are not applying in their own homes!
Opposition should be against the regime and the oppression right at home. Christ is not coming a second time unless Christians start preparing the way. Start by preaching truth about the events of 9/11 and truth about the events of 2008 in every church in every town in America. I DARE YOU!
everything that is hidden will be disclosed....
I hear no mention of the Federal Reserve Charter which ends on the 21st. Maybe it is doomsday for the cabal?
have you ever found any definitive proof that it is in fact a 99 year charter? never been able to find any myself.
We can only hope. So much gets buried by the cabal and her lackeys in the official churches. There is collusion, conspiracy and misrepresentation of the very person the religioin was based on. They get away with it again and again because Christians (except for a few) refuse to stand up to a government that allows them to preach as long as preaching is within the parameters of government set of laws.
Exposing government lies and propaganda always carries a stigma and persecution. If the churches aren't preaching truth, who will? Truth is the opposite of propaganda. If churches are silent on these things, they are complicit. Hypocrites!
Nice one Banzai
Bout spit my coffee out....Thanks :>)
Our proprietary oscillator indicates that if the 25.5, 72 and 213- day exponential moving averages are simultaneously penetrated to the downside, then the new target for TEOTWAWKI is Feb 31st, 2013. Enter stops at Jan 28 and 29.
that would be a tuesday (early closing day)
Yes and the calendar stone is so dutifully worshipped within the capital dome rotunda; just a mere calendar, not a return, just a calendar. Back to your distractions
Screw the public service announcement. If these dopes do not perform their own due diligence and research, let them off themselves, the rest of us will be better off. Darwin was right.
Believing the prophesy of a civilization that could not
foresee the consequences of polluting their own wells with human sacrifices
during a drought.
We deserve our fate as a species for thwarting natural selection.
Just as they deserved their fate.
Something will did up our fossils at sometime, and wonder what happened to
homo sapiens.
Whe mankind is long dead and the aliens explore our ruins, they will wonder why we genetically modified our food to make it poisonous and unable to grow without chemicals...
Whey we deciced to use uranium/plutonium for our reactors, when Throium was plentiful,
Why we paved over our farmland to create places to park shiny metal boxes.
Why we injected nasty chemicals into the ground to poison our water so that natural gas would come out of the hole for a month, then stop.
Cycles upon cycles... harmonics.... convergence.... old vs new.... it's coming.
My take? We learn we are not alone is this universe and free energy, space tech, anti-gravity and more change.... everything!
This is what I am pulling for. And the demise of the NWO and all their dirty laundry aired, which will hopefully lead to most of the world being reborn in freedom and solidarity.
I think the reason the original prophecy is ignored is that the puppetmasters don't want us to realise that 2012 marks the end of THEIR world, and a rebirth into a better way of doing things. They don't want us to even consider that a better way might be viable. This is also the reason they are keeping the alien hippies under wraps (for another 10 days?) Alien hippies scare them more than an infestation of face suckers (which they can at least relate to).
Well I just splashed out for a jumbo pack of toilet paper...
The only thing you need is www.endtimesgiftbasket.com it is the only thing you need!
it will be the end of the sp rally on the 21st because congress will go on vac with no deal..lol
If the interpretation of people is wrong about the Mayan's, Bernanke will pinch hit for them with a disaster of Biblical proportions.
Super read by the way.
Real Old Testament stuff, fire and brimstone.
When the Benanke's end of the world happens - there will be human sacrifices in Mayan places like the streets of LA, Chicago, Philly, Camden NJ, St. Louis, Gary, IN and a bunch more.
I would not want to be in a Wal Mart when The JP Morgue ObamBux cards stop working.
I am just thinking what the next (doomsday) date will be? I mean we're past the Cold War(nuclear winter), Y2K, now 2012, there are no obvious Armageddon candidates left, unless you wanna wait for Haley's Comet to return, or Jesus's return whichever comes 1st, any ideas ?
I wouldn't write off that cold war nuclear armageddon stuff so fast. Just because we don't look at the world that way anymore doesn't mean the machines of death have been repositioned. The US still has thousands of warheads on alert, targeted, ready to be fired in seconds... It almost happened too many times to count, the latest we know of during Yeltzin's term. We only changed the launch codes from a string of 16 zeros in the 70s! Until this stuff is all buried, dismantled or burned up, the world is still under threat. We're only 10 minutes from doomsday at any given moment.
People should stop worrying about prophecies and alien invasion. It's government stupidity and hubris you should be afraid of.
Asteroid Apophis is supposed to pass close in 2029, closer than man-made satellites. This could alter the path enough for an impact on April 13, 2036.
Someone should pick some scary numerological dates for Yellowstone supervolcano, a CME from the sun that causes spent fuel ponds to meltdown, and there is always global food/oil shortage.
Of course, if America ever hits the "Off" switch for the Internet, things could get pretty exciting pretty fast.

Defensive Gun Use of the Day: Nine Pellets of OO Justice Edition
A Saturday morning home invasion ended the way all such things should: with a shotgun blast and two scum-suckers running off into the first light of a new day. "The homeowner on Franklin-Madison Road in Franklin Township [OH] tells FOX19 he was sleeping on the couch at 6:45 Saturday morning when he woke up to find a man holding a hand over his mouth and saying 'don't talk; we just want your money.' A second man had gone upstairs where the man's wife and daughter were sleeping." But the couch-sleeper had his smoothbore nearby. After a struggle with invader number one, he was able to retrieve it and send a volley of lead in his general direction. Alarmed by the armed response, the two beat feet, trailing blood as they bid the homeowner a good day. Josh Horwitz wasn't available for comment.30

- 1971, Keith Thomas, Religion and the Decline of Magic, Folio Society 2012, p. 335:
- Astrology was not specifically banned in the statutes against witchcraft, but so long as its technicalities remained abracadabra to the lay public there was always a risk that the practitioner might find himself arrested for sorcery.

Jarre studied percussion and composition at the Paris Conservatory under Arthur Honneger, Jacques de la Presle and Louis Aubert. Following military service in the French navy during WWII, he was tapped by Jean Louis Barrault to serve as orchestral composer and arranger for Barrault's theater company. When he left Barrault after four years, Jarre joined with Jean Vilar's recently formed Theatre National Populaire and honed his craft preparing incidental music for classical works by Moliere, Victor Hugo and Shakespeare. Shortly thereafter, the composer crossed over into films, debuting with the music for George Franju's short "Hotel des Invalides" (1952) and following up over the next six year... Continue Bio >>

Stephen Frears, currently in the spotlight as the director of "The Queen," will head the jury at the 60th Festival de Cannes, set for May 16 - 27, 2007 in France. His 1987 film "Prick Up Your Ears" was in the official selection in Cannes. In a statement, Frears said, ""Of course, it's an honour but it's also a treat, to be able to watch terrific films from all over the world in such heady surroundings. God Save Cannes! (as well as the Queen)." While festival president Gilles Jacob said in a statement, "I am particularly delighted that Stephen Frears accepted my proposal this year. We thus pay tribute to this great, inspired filmmaker, endowed with freedom of mind and love of making films. The 60th Festival will henceforth take place under a lucky star, that of intelligence, wit and a dash of impertinence." [Eugene Hernandez]

I'm a Believer
by Jessica Adams
No current Talk conversations about this book.
For the first hundred or so pages, I was enjoying Jessica Adams' novel, a mash-up of lad lit and a ghost story. Then I don't know what happened, but the narrative changed genders - and genre - to become the worst kind of chick lit, with all the cliches (and racial/religious/sexual orientation stereotypes) thrown in for good measure. After that, I kept falling asleep after plodding through a couple of chapters.
Mark Buckle is your typical English bloke, or as he describes himself, 'thirtysomething teacher, bald, unlikely to be promoted any time soon, miserable bastard on winter mornings, pathetic desire to play and replay songs from his lost youth, cynic, smoker, inveterate bad-tv watcher, sexual deviant' (he's joking about that last part). And I liked him like that. Mark has recently lost his girlfriend, Catherine, in a car accident, and is going through all the phases of bereavement, until Catherine materialises in her pink dressing gown from Next, and starts pestering a clairvoyant to pass on messages. At this point, I was totally in my element - and I have to give bonus points to Jessica Adams for referencing Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), one of my favourite shows. Mark talks to the clairvoyant on the phone, who tells him that he has to let Catherine go, because his energy is keeping her spirit earthbound.
Then Catherine fades away, and Mark develops the Lynx effect - ex-girlfriends, Christian virgins, and even Catherine's sister are all distracting him from his supposed grief for his recently dead girlfriend. His flamboyantly gay colleague, and another, equally larger than life acquaintance at work, keep encouraging him to move on, preferably with stunning but pretentious supply teacher Tess. I could already detect the rosey scent of a happy ever after in the offing, but then when the author started signposting the path to true love with 9/11 and the emotional rescue of a juvenile delinquent via football, I was on the verge of a sickly-sweet sugar overdose. And all that blather about believing in something, from self-esteem to organised religion, was a little heavy-handed. Also, on a purely pedantic level, the phrase is 'I couldn't care less' - if you could care less, as Jessica Adams kept writing, then you do still care!
So - a good idea, padded out with chick lit cliches and cloying life philosophies, that was amusing in parts but mostly unbelievable. That, and I had the lyrics to 'Never Tear Us Apart' and 'I'm A Believer' stuck in my head the whole time I was reading the book!
In places, it was well-written but the characters were quite weak and the plotline went beyond the fantastic to the irritatingly implausible. I'm definitely not a believer.
Mark, a scientifically focused teacher, is shaken by the fact that his girlfriend contacts him from BEYOND THE GRAAAAAVE.... Whilst well-written in some parts, this book was just too unbelievable, and the fact that it dealt with September 11 was completely and utterly unnecessary. Quite the disappointment.
It started off very well. I can almost feel the guy's grief in losing his girlfriend. But after he started falling for someone else that the dead girlfriend was trying to hook him up with, it got pretty boring and draggy and just plain weird after that.
Disappointing. I didn't even want to finish the book.
Readable but not great

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0552772801, Paperback)"I'm A Believer" is a funny, moving and sophisticated novel about Mark Buckle, a cynical primary school teacher in south London who doesn't believe in anything, and absolutely, positively doesn't believe in life after death. Then, five days after his girlfriend, Catherine, dies in a car accident and he's trying to come to terms with his loss, she starts communicating with him and turns his world (and belief systems) upside-down. As the novel progresses, the truth about Mark's relationship with Catherine is revealed. And we encounter his friends and colleagues who provide support during this difficult time including Felix, a flamboyantly camp Australian, Caroline the Sloane who just longs to meet a nice man and Tess, drama teacher and practising Christian who starts to become increasingly attractive to Mark. Jessica Adams' characteristic humour is combined with an exploration of more serious issues that affect us all. "I'm A Believer" is a wonderful novel about love, life and what lies beyond.

To really take on grandiosity and greed, a new report from a prestigious CEO pay watchdog suggests, we may need to shove onto the global political stage the notion of a maximum wage.
Workers in the United States don't make double what workers make in Japan or Switzerland. Why should U.S. CEOs routinely make double — and often much more — than Japanese and Swiss top execs?
Wage squeezes, share buybacks, and tax subsidies, three new progressive think tank studies show, are all combining to keep America's high and mighty ever higher and mightier.
The latest annual hedge fund industry pay stats have suits smiling — and ordinary mortals worrying about public education's future.
Baseball's top hitter and Wall Street power suits both ply their trades in a high-speed world. That hitter will make over a quarter-billion in the next decade. The top suits stand to 'earn' astonishingly more.
Equal pay for equal work? We still haven't arrived at that destination. Decent pay that reflects the dignity of all who labor? In today's America, we've barely even begun that journey.
America's corporate CEOs feel entitled to pensions that pay out $86,000 monthly. To protect their entitlement, they're attacking ours: Social Security.
America's top execs don't have the time to party. They're too busy waging a corporate holy war against what may be the most promising check yet on executive pay excess.
Over the last 20 years, the annual lists of America's highest-paid chief execs — our corporate 'best and brightest' — have included an amazingly high concentration of outright frauds and flops.
House Republicans, with help from some Wall Street-friendly Democrats, are rushing to repeal the most promising Dodd-Frank Act check on excessive executive pay. You won't believe their rationale.

i was just wondering about this aircraft/ shuttle configuration. a few things i'm curious about is how is the center of gravity affected with respect to rolling the a/c? did the pilots not roll it completely to avoid strange overloading the wing? i'm not engineer but i doubt that the 747 was designed to fly with that thing strapped to it's back.

Electronic cigarettes operate on rechargeable lithium batteries and comprise of an atomizer, cartridge and tip. Majority of the electronic cigarettes come with an LED that lights up when users inhale the cigarette. The main purpose of an e-cigarette is to provide nicotine to the smoker with minimum damage to the smoker's health and also to the people nearby.
An electronic cigarette cartridge has e-liquid, which contains the chemical propylene glycol in addition to nicotine and flavoring. When the batteries heat up the atomizer, it converts the liquid into vapor, which thesmokerinhales.
Since electronic cigarettes are battery operated devices, there will be times when you might suddenly find that your e-cigarette isn't working properly. In order troubleshoot common problems with ecig batteries, it is important to check a few things.
- Determine the type of battery your e-cigarette has. In other words, understand the construction and the functioning. Usually the e-cigarettes have the lithium-ion polymer batteries, which are rechargeable and have a long life. It is important to know the battery so that you are able to identify what problems may arise in it.
- Check whether the battery is the culprit. This can be done by replacing a functional battery in and checking for faults in atomizer. Once confirmed that indeed the battery is the issue, remove the battery from the atomizer. The atomizer contains moisture which can impact the performance by making the battery wet. In that case, the battery should be buried in a bag of rice for two days so that the rice absorbs the extra moisture.
- Make sure that the battery is properly placed in the charger at the time of charging. If the battery had been moist or wet earlier, do not charge it until dry as it may lead to short circuit of the battery and charger both
- Another common cause of under performance of the battery may be that you exhaust it fully and over use it
- You may be storing your battery after draining it. An e-cigarette battery should be charged and stored otherwise it will go dry, consequently reducing battery life
- If the e-cigarette fails to produce vapor then check the battery contacts with the atomizer. It is important to have tight and firm contacts so that the battery can fully be connected to the atomizer
- The e-cigarette batteries may simply be due for a replacement

Women sought in attempted Rehoboth Beach purse snatching
Delaware State Police are searching for two women they say approached another woman walking along Route 1 and tried to take her purse.
The woman, 21, was walking northbound on the southbound shoulder at 10:30 a.m. July 31 near M&T Bank when two other women approached her and tried to start a conversation, said Master Cpl. Gary Fournier of the Delaware State Police.
When the woman refused to talk to them, Fournier said, they grabbed her purse and tried to pull it from her. The three fell to the ground and the woman was able to hold on to her purse; the other two ran empty-handed toward Camelot Estates Mobile Home Park, Fournier said.
The woman was not injured.
The two women are described as white, 17-25 years old, 5-feet-5-inches tall and weighing 105 pounds.
One has brown hair that she wore in a bun, and she was wearing a gray-striped shirt with black pants. The other young woman had blond hair; there was no further description. No weapon displayed during the incident, Fournier said.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call 644-5020 ext. 212, 1-800-TIP-3333, go to www.tipsubmit.com, text 274637 using keyword DSP or utilize the Delaware State Police Mobile Crime Tip Application available to download at: http://www.delaware.gov/apps/.

I noticed he got thestart and played 25 min! Looks like he played solid! 12 boards (5 offensive) 2 blocks & 8 points!! Saw Thompson only got 8 min. Is there a changing of the center? Wanted to know if anyone had any insight as to why the change? Good to see for the future though.

I was looking for a thread like this. Nice game for Justin, he just needs to get a little more "basketball" strength.
Alex had badly sprained ankle and not able to go. He did play a few
minutes. Hamilton did a great job.
Alex Thompson hurt his ankle and was not able to go very much tonight.
Good to see Hamilton really take advantage of his opportunity.
If Hamilton can prove he can be an adequate defender, he'll continue to see more and more minutes. I say this a lot, but for a relative basketball newbie, he seems to know his positioning well. He also is a pretty good shooter, both in and out. Hopefully he can start learning more post moves. As you saw tonight, if Craig can have a decent low post threat beside him, he's that much more dangerous.
Hamilton earned some more PT tonight.

Agreed. I appreciate a guy like AT in that he plays hard and doesn't make alot of mistakes, but he's also not a huge asset on the floor. To me he's the guy between Hubalek and whoever steps up next year. It would be great to see Hamilton be that guy rather than counting on a newcomer next season.

I wouldn't count him out. Give him another year of weight room and court time and let's check out where he gets. He seems to be an extremely determined individual (google Justin Hamilton and PB & J sandwiches ).

If the Freshman is better than the senior then why not... I think the Alex Thompson five year two school experiment is about to come to an end...

I've been thinking for a while now that Hamilton is THE key to next season. Folks keep talking about Colvin/Gilstrap but if Hamilton really makes some strides from now to next year we might really have something.
Hamilton is key for 09' imho.
Also notice that Boozer was one of the first players off the bench and got a lot of the Eik/Haluska minutes.
Glad to see Hamilton come along... playing Thompson and Peterson isn't going to win us many Big 12 games. Let's start developing the talented freshman and sophomores
Hamilton will give you more on offense than AT but the key is can he provide the same thing AT does on the defensive side? If he can he'll take minutes away from AT. I like Hamilton's big body in there and if he can work on some post moves he'll stick as a starter. Remember how some thought he'd be too weak before he showed up on campus? He's obviously bulked up and I think he has a bright future ahead of him if he keeps improving.

C-12 Committee on Responsibilities, Rights, and Welfare of Teaching Assistants and Assistant Instructors
The committee undertook several projects for the current year.
1. Design and production of a web site for TAs and AIs that will provide useful information to them in three main areas: policies and procedures, campus resources for TAs and AIs, and campus resources for helping students taught by TAs and AIs. Starting from this site, TAs and AIs can easily get to the Handbook of Operating Procedures, the Graduate School Policy Manual, the Graduate Student Assembly home page, the Graduate and International Admissions Center page, and the pages for the Undergraduate Writing Center, the Dean of Students, etc. This site was the product of a lot of discussion and a lot of work particularly by our graduate student members. The result is an excellent site that has received favorable comment from those that use it. The URL for the site is http://www.utexas.edu/ogs/ta_ai/. 2. We reviewed the results of a survey of incoming graduate students, as background to our general concern about the situation of TAs and AIs in their capacity as students. One general concern expressed by a number of the respondents was the communication made to them by their programs about program requirements, professional associations, and research opportunities. The committee did some thinking about how to encourage programs to do better with this, and concluded that it would be desirable to circulate information on the practices adopted by programs that are good at producing information like this. 3. We had considerable discussion about the tuition benefit for TAs and AIs, focusing on the timing of the benefit and its taxability. We were considerably helped in this by Renee Wallace, director of Payroll Services, who attended a meeting of the committee to explain the procedures for distributing the benefit. We decided to focus on the taxability issue and the possibility of declaring our tuition benefit to be non-taxable and collected information on policies at other universities. This led to a meeting with Interim Dean Rodriguez, Provost Sheldon Ekland-Olson, Executive Vice Provost Stephen Monti, and Renee Wallace, at which the conclusion was that it would be desirable to move to a situation in which the tuition benefit was non-taxable, and that we should undertake further study to see whether this would be feasible, given that our stance to date has been that the benefit is taxable. The uncertain element here is the view that the IRS would take of this. One thing that is needed is additional information on the situation at Berkeley, which introduced a non-taxable benefit and was asked by the IRS for the justification of treating the benefit as non-taxable. We need to know more about how this worked out.
Many thanks are due to the Office of Graduate Studies's Logan Wilson Intern Erik Malmberg, for his intelligent and energetic assistance in all the projects listed above.

Patrick Dempsey looks stern and it might just be because he's allowing his jealousy of his co-star's superior physique to ruin his day. The Grey's Anatomy has admitted to suffering from "pec envy" when standing next to Eric Dane AKA Dr. McSteamy.
The arguably dreamy Dempsey told Parade magazine, "I'm not Eric Dane –McSteamy is in perfect shape." He added, "There's a lot of pressure being a man in this town." Shit, there's a lot of pressure being a woman in this town. It sounds like the only individuals that get cut a break around here would be gender-bending folk. They're just so damn lucky.

I'm looking at putting together a late season (mid to late November) elk hunt in Montana sometime in the reasonably near future.
Sorry if some questions are a repeat - I used the search function and came up empty so I thought I would ask away.
1 - I assume most elk will have moved down out of the higher elevations by mid to late November. How much of an issue is private land ownership? Still plenty of quality public land in the lower elevations?
2 - I assume the higher elevations will have significant snow fall by mid to late November. Is this accurate or is it more of a "hit or miss" variable?
Any other info folks might have that is relevant to late season Montana elk would be appreciated.

> Subject: Summer Tanager, Washington County seen today
> Today I finally (after more attempts than I want to admit) saw the Carpenter Nature Center Summer Tanager near the orchard, just before noon. I had checked the area surrounding the feeders without seeing the bird, so drove over to the "apple shack" (or store), just south of the Carpenter Nature Center. I stayed in my car on the west side of the apple shack driveway for about 10 minutes, then saw the bird fly to the bittersweet on the fence, along the opposite side of the driveway. It fed and perched in the sun for a few minutes, then flew away. I had an excellent look, and his blended colors were unusually brilliant in the sun!
> As soon as the tanager left, I heard the unmistakable sound of Sandhill Cranes. I looked up and saw at least 50 cranes flying over, heading southeast.

In what could be a major breakthrough for fertility treatment, unlimited egg supply for women may be a step closer following new stem cell research.
The study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, challenges the long-held belief that women are born with a finite supply of eggs that will be exhausted by menopause.
Scientists isolated stem cells in the ovaries of reproductive age women and found they can produce immature eggs (oocytes) in laboratory conditions – and further tests on mice revealed the eggs could be fertilised.
The study is not the first to dispute the notion that a woman's egg supply is gradually depleted, running out by middle age.
Lead researcher Dr Jonathan Tilly, from Massachusetts General Hospital, first questioned this theory in 2004 in a study that revealed mice have some egg-producing stem cells.
Dr Tilly said: "The primary objective of the current study was to prove that oocyte-producing stem cells do in fact exist in the ovaries of women during reproductive life, which we feel this study demonstrates very clearly."
Researchers found the stem cells, which go on to produce oocytes, by searching for a protein that is unique to the surface of the stem cells.
Oocytes are immature female sex cells that mature to give rise to a fully mature egg cell.
The researchers grafted human ovarian tissue around the stem cells inside mice and found they "spontaneously generated" egg cells that looked and acted like oocytes.
Tilly added: "The discovery of oocyte precursor cells in adult human ovaries, coupled with the fact that these cells share the same characteristic features of their mouse counterparts that produce fully functional eggs, opens the door for development of unprecedented technologies to overcome infertility in women and perhaps even delay the timing of ovarian failure."
Rachel Cutting, Chairman of the Association of Clinical Embryologists, told The Huffington Post:
"The study is very exciting as it shows that eggs can be made from stem cells in the ovary which completely changes our understanding that women are born with a finite number of eggs.
"The study not only shows that cells form with oocyte properties but in mice these cells could be fertilised as well. If developed further, the technique could go a long way to help infertile women overcome problems such as early menopause and preserving fertility before cancer treatment.
"Whilst ACE supports all research which helps overcome infertility, further studies are needed to look at how the fertilised eggs from the research develop as embryos and to check the safety of the technology."
Dr Allan Pacey, a fertility expert at the University of Sheffield, told the BBC: "This is a nice study which shows quite convincingly that women's ovaries contain stem cells that can divide and make eggs.
"Not only does this re-write the rule book, it opens up a number of exciting possibilities for preserving the fertility of women undergoing treatment for cancer, or just maybe for women who are suffering infertility by extracting these cells and making her new eggs in the lab."
Although there is no direct link between refined carbohydrates and infertility, the refining process strips grains of some of the most important fertility-boosting nutrients, such as antioxidants, B vitamins and iron.
Modern methods of food production, involving intensive farming, rob the soil of vital nutrients, so where possible stick to organic produce. Processed foods are packed with additives and preservatives that can upset blood sugar levels and disrupt the body's hormonal balance.
Too much red meat increases the amount of ammonia in the body, which can interfere with the implantation of the egg in the uterus. Red meat can also be detrimental for men as it increases acidity and affects sperm activity; sperm perform better in alkaline conditions.
The animal hormones in dairy products can affect your own hormonal balance. If you balk at the richness of soya milk and can't bear to give up your semi-skimmed, switch to organic dairy products instead as these contain lower levels of hormones.
Giving up alcohol is not strictly necessary until you fall pregnant but it might be worth bearing in mind that Danish research, studying the link between alcohol consumption and fertility, found that alcohol intake had a significant effect on infertility success among women above the age of 30 who drank seven or more drinks a week.
While you don't need to give up your morning coffee, caffeine does constrict the blood vessels, slowing blood flow to the uterus and potentially making it harder for an egg to grab hold. So, if you're having any trouble conceiving, or undergoing IVF treatment, you might want to go easy on the double espressos.
Aside from being packed with vitamins and minerals, fruit and vegetables are packed with antioxidants that attack free-radicals (harmful molecules that can damage the ova, sperm and reproductive organs).
Zinc helps to maintain a healthy menstrual cycle as well as being vital during pregnancy to aid cell division in a developing foetus. Folic acid (Vitamin B6), together with zinc, is essential in the function of female sex hormones. Vitamin B12 is also very important as it maximises the absorption of folic acid. Taking a multi-vitamin tablet designed especially for conception is a good way to ensure you're getting enough of these valuable nutrients. Marmite is also a great source!

Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel
The Lady Gaga Sydney concert happens on Saturday, August 30 at Allphones Arena and it promises to be sensational. This tour goes by the name of artRAVE, The ARTPOP Ball, in support of her third studio album ARTPOP.
Lady Gaga – mysterious, outrageous, unpredictable, talented – she has sold 24 million albums and 125 million singles… she has five Grammy Awards and 13 MTV Video Music Awards… she has been named by Forbes Magazine in the list of The World's Most Powerful Women from 2010 to 2013 and named as one of the most influential women in world by Time Magazine.
While the lady known to fans as the Mother Monster credits a huge list of artists as her musical influences she is a true original. The influences include The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Whitney Houston, Elton John, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Madonna, David Bowie, Andy Warhol, Princess Diana and Queen.
She took her name from the Queen song Radio Gaga. Having grown up in New York as Stefani Germanotta around age 20 she was, understandably, looking for a stage name. According to then music producer Rob Fusari, he came up with the name. When Stefani would arrive in the studio he would greet her by singing Radio Gaga and one day he texted those words to her… the text message, being somewhat predictive, changed 'radio' to 'lady' and she texted back, "That's it – never call me Stefani again".
If you are travelling from out of town for the Lady Gaga Sydney concert, Rydges Parramatta is handy to Allphones with a shuttle service or, for those flying in, Rydges Sydney Airport can suit.

Culture Notes
Hollywood's summertime blues
Despite blockbuster hits such as Twister, Mission Impossible, and Independence Day, the summer movie season as a whole turned out to be a dud. With the sure-fire hits frontloaded at the beginning of the summer, only one movie in the second half of the season grossed more than $100 million: A Time to Kill, John Gresham's legal thriller about race and vigilante justice. The rash of so-called children's films also did poorly, with even Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame proving a major box office disappointment. Some voices in Hollywood are saying, "See, we tried making wholesome family films, but no one goes to see them." Never mind that, as WORLD reviews have shown (see the August 17/24 issue), few if any of the much-hyped children's movies--such as the family-bashing Matilda--were truly suitable or even entertaining for children. According to Hollywood's trade publication Variety, the main problem is dropping attendance. Despite the proliferation of brand-new multi-screen megaplexes, admissions have declined for the second straight year. In the 1940s, 80 million Americans went to the movies every week. Today, despite the huge increase in population, only 20 million go the movies. Even in light of competition from TV, this is an astonishing drop off. What kind of movies brought Americans into the theaters? A study commissioned by USA Today adjusted box office receipts for inflation and found that most R-rated movies disappeared from the list of top money-makers. Instead, the top 10 most popular films of all time were: (1) Gone with the Wind, (2) Star Wars, (3) E.T., (4) The Ten Commandments, (5) The Sound of Music, (6) Jaws, (7) Doctor Zhivago, (8) Jungle Book, (9) Snow White, (10) Ben Hur. Hollywood still doesn't get it. Despite the abysmal box office failure of Showgirls and now Demi Moore's Striptease, major filmmakers are hard at work on a biopic about porn queen Marilyn Chambers, and Oliver Stone, having solved the Kennedy assassination and reinvented Richard Nixon, is filming the biography of pornographer Larry Flynt.
Top Internet monitors
The September issue of Internet World rates the top seven programs for filtering out the bad stuff on the internet. Cyber Patrol won top honors for its flexibility and its capacity to block children from sending out their names and addresses. This program, as well as InterGo and Specs for Kids, can block out not only sexual material but also glorification of drugs, violence, and hate. Other recommended programs were Net Nanny, Net Shepherd, SurfWatch, and Cybersitter. All seven have monthly updates to keep up with the ever-new webs of depravity being spun in cyberspace.
Forgive us our debts
A new quiz show on the Lifetime network is called Debt. Contestants tell about how many bills they have run up--Melanie, in hock for $7,223 because, as she says, "the world has too many nice shoes"; Rob, spending $8,800 following the Grateful Dead; Jill, owing $7,700 from buying things for her pets. The winners get their bills paid. In the words of the promo, "three debt-laden Americans just like you compete to have us pay off all their bills and go home with nothing." In the meantime, a major credit card issuer is charging a penalty for customers who pay off their balances every month. Since banks cash in on the usurious interest rates charged on credit cards, they cannot make money when people are debt-free. In the topsy-turvy culture of a nation whose government owes $5.1 trillion, embarrassment about owing too much money disappears, deficits become assets, and a vice is turned into a virtue.

My basic intention is to find out whether a dir say A is immediately inside dir B or not. I'm checking it in java so I'm using Pattern and Matcher classes.
let say homeDir = /aa/bb/cc (home dir) dirB = /aa/bb/cc/dd/ee (not immediately inside home dir) dirC = /aa/bb/cc/dd (immediately inside home dir) dirD = /aa/ff (outside home dir)
I want the output to be true if the dir is immediately inside homeDir, otherwise false. My approach is I'm checking if homeDir path is matching with the given dir path. If it matches, I'm checking whether there are any / after the homeDir part. This is my sample code
private static final String REGEX =
private static final String INPUT =
public static void main(String[] args) {
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(REGEX);
Matcher m = p.matcher(INPUT); // get a matcher object
boolean output = false;
while(m.find()) {
System.out.println("Total : "+m.group(1)+"First : "+m.group(2)+ "Slash : "+m.group(3)+"Last : "+m.group(4));
{// that means match found and immediately inside also
output = true;
The out put I get is Total : dd/eeFirst : dd/eSlash : Last : e. All I wanted is I want the slash to be captured if there exists any. I think first .+ is greedy and taking all. I tried with possessive quantifier (/?+) but it throwing Exception in thread "main" java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: At position 3 in regular expression pattern: attempted to repeat a token that is already repeated /aa/bb/cc/((.+)(/?+)(.+)) ^ Please help me hot to go about this problem

Been on and off for a few months. Ill be driving and all of a sudden I get a brake failure stop safely light and all my gauges go dead. Sometimes from there the MPH will come back on and only the ABS service light stays. Turn the car off turn it back on and it says check engine, engine system service urgent turn it off take out the key and turn it back on and the urgent light is gone only the check engine light stays on until I turn if off and on again. Sometimes ill also get a power steering light as well. Also if I dont wait till the MPH comes back on and I turn off the car while the gages are dead ill get an immobilizer message for ten minutes then it starts up fine. Radio still works windows still work but sometimes driving is rough while its happening. So it definitely a High Speed Communication error. Already tested the alternator and changed the bad battery. I bought a new ecm but havent spent the money to take it to the dealer to get it re programmed cause I want to make sure that its the problem before doing so. Does anyone have any ideas on the issue? Its so frustrating and makes driving anywhere painful.

these codes are not in all data. what kinda scanner are u using?
COMMENT by Dylans , January 07, 2013
It was a computer I forget the brand


text: I started to create a map on pencil and paper, some of the aspects of the map are numarical ( the terrain being a percentage of the map, regions listed as so many miles square) and others pictorial. Some where something went wrong and nothing seemed to fit anymore. On the picture my differant regions needed it's own scale so that I could fit the terrain in it, when I created my map all the regions where built using the same scale. I was hoping that there was a computer program that I could use to make the two data sets work together. Another thing I will be needing the map to do is being modified after it is created, as well as be able to show numarical data, like villages per square mile, and have distance tools. I am hoping that there is a program that already exists that can do all of this. Finally I know little or nothing about map making.

The BELLEVUE first opened in 1865. In 1910 Alphons and Philipp Osswald decided to build a completely new hotel, which re-opened in 1913. For four years during World War I the BELLEVUE served as military headquarters. The Hotel enjoyed a heyday in the 1920s. In 1924 the owners purchased the name of the neighbouring Bernerhof Hotel, after which the Hotel went under the name BELLEVUE PALACE Grandhotel and Bernerhof. In 1976 the Swiss National Bank acquired the majority shareholding, thereby ensuring the hotel's continued existence. In 1994 the National Bank made a gift of the Hotel to the Swiss Confederation. The federal government is now the current owner of the BELLEVUE AG real estate company.

Jan Braai doesn't believe in braaing with gas, refers to chicken as a veggie (it's one of his standing jokes), has an exercise programme to get anyone braai-fit, can cook a steak to perfection in just about any conditions and broke a world record when he braaied non-stop for more than 28 hours. He's also a man on a mission: to unite all South Africans around simple wood fires for one day each September. And it seems his goal is more within reach than ever before ahead of this year's National Braai Day on 24 September.
After studying accounting and a short career in financial services, Jan Scannell – aka Jan Braai – resigned from his job at the end of 2005 to focus on National Braai Day. It's an initiative that started seven years ago and Jan says results from a recent market research survey have revealed that 33 per cent of all urban South Africans over 18 actively celebrate National Braai Day by having or attending a braai on 24 September. 'This is a phenomenal figure,' he says, 'and that really does motivate me to get up in the mornings and continue spreading the message.'
While the bulk of his time is spent promoting National Braai Day and his new book, Fireworks, there is more to Jan than his passion for sosaties, wood fires and cultural unity.
As Getaway readers and viewers of his kykNET TV show, Jan Braai vir Erfenis, you may be familiar with his say-it-like-it- is persona and the tongue-in-cheek jokes he cracks while deftly flipping a coil of boerewors with one hand, a beer clasped in the other. However, he wasn't always as expert with a pair of braai tongs.
'The first time I attempted to make a fire myself was in our garden, using wet leaves,' Jan recalls. 'It smoked a lot and did not really burn. And since then I hate using wet wood.'
His father taught him how to braai, and during his formative braaing years he spent weekends with his grandparents, learning to braai with wingerdstompies (vines) from his maternal grandfather and using wood that his father's father had sourced from the veld outside Kleinmond on other occasions.
'Neither really used firelighters,' he recalls. 'They opted for a generous splash of paraffin over the wood before lighting it.'
Nowadays, his braaing isn't limited to just the weekends – in fact, when he's filming for his show he braais just about every day. Fish, lamb, veggies, pasta … he's braaied it all, and says he has quite a few favourites.
'From a lamb, it's the loin chop or a deboned and butterflied leg. From beef, it's a dry-aged T-bone steak or oxtail potjie. Pork-wise, I like neck chops or spare ribs, and Portuguese-style peri-peri chicken is also awesome. From the sea, I braai a lot of yellowtail at the moment, with snoek and peri-peri prawns always on the cards.'
He's also travelled far in search of truly special dishes. 'I once read a story about a butchery in Stockholm that dry-ages rib-eye steak for 10 weeks. In South Africa, it's considered very long if a steak is aged for four weeks, so I made a mental note to go there the next time I visited Europe. About two years ago, I did exactly that. The Ryanair ticket I used to fly in and out of Stockholm from Frankfurt was cheaper than the 400-gram steak. I wasted no time in gathering wood and braaied in the snow. It was both the most expensive and coldest braai of my life.'
