I am a practicing lawyer in Dunn County and do a lot of criminal
defense. A young man came to me recently charged with misdemeanor theft
of property from a salvage yard. My client and two others were caught in
the act of the theft and were taken to jail for booking. While at the
jail he was asked to give a voluntary statement.
I am attaching my client's written statement given that night. Both
the DA and I enjoyed his "style." We seldom ever get such a kick out of
reading discovery material. We thought to share this for the enjoyment
of the bar as a whole. (My client consents to publication but he prefers
his name to be left out.)
Stephen F. Muza
Voluntary Statement. On a cold and windy night, me
and my two friends were driving in our car. Talk was brought up about my
friend's lights missing in his vehicle. We came up with the idea of
borrowing these lights from a vehicle that was not using them at the
time. After we had parked the car, the three of us, all young strapping
bachelors, made our way cautiously towards the junkyard. Lightly we
stepped, as not to detour the resting slumber of a hardworking man who
owns the yard. Try and search as we might, we could not find a matching
car. Many windy roads did we turn down, on the verge of giving up. When
all of a sudden there stood a car with moonlight spackling the exterior.
In awe we stood, not knowing yet what to do. We proceeded then to remove
the necessary lights that were not being used at that time, and made on
our way, making sure not to disturb anything else, for we are not
villainous men. We walked back to our car to leave the premises as we
had hoped, undetected. We got into our car and as we were leaving, we
were stopped by an officer of the law. He was a kind and understanding
man, and I am glad to say he was my arresting officer. I end this,
writing, sitting, thinking, in my cell.
It was with no small feeling of irony that I read the March
President's Message regarding civility in the legal profession. Just how
are we to define civility? Today I appeared at an arraignment in a
misdemeanor case. The presiding judge scheduled a status conference
exactly five weeks from today, with jury selection to follow the day
after, and trial the days after that. I informed the presiding judge
that I was going to be on maternity leave at that time (I am due four
days before the status conference), and that I would be taking two full
weeks of maternity leave, followed by two part-time weeks. The judge
very politely and graciously informed me that someone else would have to
take the case; it remains scheduled during the week I am expecting to
give birth. This case was filed less than four weeks ago and today was
my first appearance; it is not as though it has been pending for some
time and I was using some sort of delaying tactic. In a "civilized"
society, we should have moved beyond the practice of putting women out
of work when they have children.
In 1992 (when I gave birth to my first child), I worked as a truck
driver. Although trucking companies are, by reputation and in actuality,
hardly paragons of progressivism, my company's management did not bat an
eye at my request for maternity leave, and hence demonstrated more
flexibility and "civility" than the judge who today denied me the right
to practice law based on my decision to have a child.
When the State Bar president prefaced his article on civility by
stating "[i]n many respects, the legal profession is a 19th century
profession at work in the 21st century. We often advance values that
seem more suited to an earlier era than to the present one," he was
right on the money, though not necessarily as he intended to be. I would
much prefer the "incivility" of the profanity-laden speech and grouchy
conduct of my largely uneducated former trucking coworkers who did not
bat an eye at my request for maternity leave than the "civility" of the
educated, polite, and gracious judge who was not willing to move his
schedule four short weeks into the future.
Name Withheld on Request
I am writing in response to statements made by Winn S. Collins in his
March article entitled "Looks Can Be Deceiving: Safeguards for
Eyewitness Identification." To his credit, Mr. Collins praised
innovative measures implemented in New Jersey and in certain Wisconsin
police departments designed to improve the reliability of eyewitness
identification procedures. Inexplicably, however, he criticized the
Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) for not forming a working group to
study those procedures. He also stated that the Wisconsin Attorney
General had formed a Public Integrity Unit in response to the Avery
exoneration but that she had not addressed in her review of the Avery
conviction "broader issues regarding how to improve identification
It would have been a better article had Mr. Collins omitted his
personal views and stuck to a more positive, proactive theme focused on
improving imperfect identification procedures. Had we the resources, I
am certain that many within the DOJ would offer to participate in
discussion groups and studies on reforming various aspects of the
criminal justice system. However, the DOJ has no more statutory
authority nor institutional ability to mandate procedural reforms or
change the law relative to eyewitness identification than does, for
example, the Wisconsin District Attorneys Association. We have offered
to assist the legislative committee reviewing the Avery matter with
whatever input it requires from the DOJ, not inconsistent with the role
the DOJ played in its own analysis. Unfortunately, efforts to solicit
specific goals and objectives from the chair of that committee have been
largely unsuccessful.
The DOJ reviewed the Avery conviction at the request of the Manitowoc
County District Attorney. We were not asked, nor did we strive to reform
the criminal justice system. Our charge was to determine whether legal
or ethical obligations of law enforcement officials had been violated,
leading to Avery's conviction. Nonetheless, the Attorney General did
point out two factors that could overcome problems associated with
eyewitness identification: better communication between law enforcement
agencies, and the more widespread use of scientific analysis of
evidence, when available. Improvements in communication already have
taken place. But in tight fiscal times we need to ensure, as the
Attorney General stressed in speeches around the state last summer, that
our crime labs are adequately staffed and funded. In fact, during the
last state budget cycle, the legislative joint finance committee
approved language lapsing $2,775,000 in Crime Lab and Drug Law
Enforcement Assessments to the general fund. Had the Attorney General
not acted to reverse this move, at least one state crime lab likely
would have been closed.
Mr. Avery was exonerated through DNA testing, as our report made
clear. Our fight has been, and will continue to be, that all three crime
labs in Wisconsin remain open and that additional resources be devoted
to those labs in order to reduce the case backlog that has developed
over many years. While it is well worth studying all means of improving
the justice system, the greater the ability to employ scientific
analysis of evidence, the better chance we have of avoiding wrongful
Finally, systemic changes may result from the Avery matter but the
formation of the DOJ's Public Integrity Unit is not among them. The
Attorney General proposed the creation of this unit prior to her
election and its establishment predated the Avery matter. It had more to
do with the fact that nearly 70 percent of white collar investigations
conducted by the DOJ are related to allegations of official misconduct.
We remain more than willing to provide accurate information to anyone
wishing to write about the DOJ's operations.

ROME (JTA) — The Patriarch of Jerusalem accused Israel of continuing discrimination against minority religions.
Archbishop Fouad Twal also said that Pope Benedict XVI's visit in May has not helped the situation.
The "ongoing discrimination within Israel threatens Christians and Muslims alike," Twal said in a speech last week in England that was reported by the Catholic news service Zenit. "From limiting movement and ignoring housing needs to taxation burdens and infringing on residency rights, Palestinian Christians do not know where to turn."
Twal specifically criticized Israel's West Bank security fence, which he said "has enclosed many Palestinians in ghetto-like areas where access to work, medical care, schooling and other basic services have been badly affected."
"We have a new generation of Christians who cannot visit the holy places of their faith that are only a few kilometers from their place of residence," he added.
Twal said he was "cautiously optimistic" about efforts toward peace made by President Obama, who he said "seems much more aware than his predecessors of the fundamental errors of the administration in their attitude to the conflict."

How to Choose ATV Tires
December 1, 2008
By: Jason Giacchino
ATV riders are typically divided into two camps when it comes to the subject of tires: Those who are passionate about their tread and those who care only that theirs hold air. In either case, upgrades are inevitable which explains why tires are consistently the highest selling aftermarket component in the quad business.
Like any upgrade, it helps to begin by identifying the type of riding you intend to do with the machine in question. ATV tires are quite unique in that their intended purpose heavily affects the handling characteristics of the quad. If you're unsure of which category you happen to fall in, your best bet is to select from the all-purpose category, which, generally speaking, represents a replacement for the stock tires on your ATV. Other names for tires in this class include all-terrain, general purpose, trail tires, or OEM replacements. So why then doesn't everyone simply run all-purpose tread designs? The simplest explanation is that design-specific tires can truly make remarkable gains in performance when run in their intended environments.
Trail tires, while not intended to excel at any one particular terrain, do offer traction in a wide range of conditions. If you find yourself encountering stones, hard pack, mud, and everything in between, the all-purpose tire is likely your best bet.
Mud tires are typically easy to identify thanks to sparsely placed tread with sharp angles. The reason for this odd placement is twofold: First to gain traction where there is little to be found and second to fling caked up mud and trail debris free through the tire's natural rotation. Mud tires are quite terrain-specific by nature so riders who split their time between ooze and dry-terrain need not apply.
It's nearly impossible to mistake sand tires for anything else due to their unique tread pattern. The rear tires typically feature cup-shaped tread "paddles" designed to propel the ATV by displacing loose sand in scoops. The fronts resemble slicks with a single or pair of continuous rudders. Perhaps, the most terrain-specific of all tire choices, sand tires shouldn't be considered by anyone who doesn't spend their saddle-time out on the dunes.
Sport Performance/ Racing Tires excel at providing consistent traction on medium to hard packed terrain and are typically identified by a fairly even distribution of x-shaped knobs. Additionally, race tires are often much lower profile than other styles, which makes them appear square when mounted on a rim. Since we lack the server space to go into great detail with even a fraction of the tires available today, we'll take a look at some of the top entries in each of the following categories: Sport/Performance (Racing), Utility & Side x Side (Mud) and All Purpose Sand.
When it comes to carving laps on the MX track, GNCC course, or even aggressive trail riding, it's difficult to trump the performance of ITP's Holeshot series of tires. Whereas once the brand name was associated with a single model, ITP now offers half a dozen individual Holeshot designations that vary in both tread pattern and ply thickness designed for everything from motocross (MX) to supercross (SX), Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) to woods & trail (HD), rocks and roots (SR) to ruts & off-cambers (XCR). About the biggest drawback to the ITP Holeshot series is their steep entry cost. For comparable performance that's a bit easier on the wallet, we recommend looking into the Razr series from Maxxis or the Badlands from Carlisle Trail Products (CTP).
For those of us who can't seem to stay out of the goo, Maxxis offers the Mudzilla. Massive tread bars are designed for maximum traction in the slop but with a fairly smooth ride on hard pack surfaces. The specifically designed tread pattern is constructed to flex more in mud accumulating areas and a 6-ply rating for worry-free puncture resistance. Additionally the Maxxis Mudzilla tire offers rim guard for maximum wheel protection against those rocks that lie at the bottom of the mud-pit in waiting. Like the ITP Holeshot, the Mudzilla isn't for the particularly frugal. For the budget conscientious Maxxis offers the more affordable Mud Bug radial and High Lifter Products now sells the Outlaw MST mud tire. ITP also offers up a full series of Mud Lite tires that, like the Mudzilla, aren't cheap but well known for their performance.
As a general rule, the OEMs select tires that they feel will accomplish decent traction in the widest variety of terrains. As such, it's tough to argue with the selection that many manufacturers use as the stock tire of choice: The AT489 from Carlisle Trail Products (CTP). If money's no object, Titan's Bandits series are a popular choice among trail enthusiasts. Kenda offers up heir impressive Klaw series, which excel in most conditions. Finally, for the ultra-frugal, Carlisle is the maker of one of the longest standing all-purpose ATV tires of all time, the Turf Tamer; continual winner of budget tire shootouts year after year.
ITP knows sand and they know it! The absolute latest in sand tire technology, the Sand Star features an extremely lightweight yet durable carcass using a special rubber compound that delivers an ideal level of flotation, flexibility and cornering capability. Like most performance class leaders, the Sand Shark isn't cheap. Kenda offers a slightly more budget-friendly sand tire in the Gecko, as does GBC with their Sand Shark.

Baylor continues to make steady progress
ANAHEIM -- Angels hitting coach Don Baylor is now able to put 30 percent of his weight on the right side of his body, which is still recovering from the fractured right femur he suffered while catching Vladimir Guerrero's ceremonial first pitch on Opening Day.
In a couple of weeks, he expects to amp that up to 60 percent.
Two weeks after that, he's hopeful of being at 80 to 90 percent, which could put him close to sitting in the dugout during games.
And before the All-Star break, July 14-17, the 64-year-old Baylor hopes to join the team on road trips.
In the meantime, Baylor, hired as the team's hitting coach this past offseason, has spent the early afternoons of the Angels' current homestand sitting on a cart driven by athletic trainer Rick Smith and watching his hitters take early batting practice.
"I feel a lot better when I'm out here, that's for sure -- on the field, seeing the guys, talking to them," Baylor said. "I probably text more than anybody around lately. I never texted until I started doing this. But I stay in touch with all the coaches that way."

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
São Paulo, Brazil, 2010/12/19 - Acision, a world leader in mobile data, today announced the launch of its sixth edition of MAVAM Acision Mobile VAS Monitor, which found that the VAS market for mobile operators is growing significantly in Brazil.
While voice revenues grew just 7.3% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2010, mobile VAS revenues jumped 41.5% in line with global growth trends from other, more mature markets. This represents approximately 2.8 billion Brazilian Real (BRL) in VAS revenues and is equivalent to an average of 16.2% of mobile operators gross revenues.
The research, which analyses trends across the mobile value added services market in Brazil on a quarterly basis, revealed that for the first time, mobile Internet revenues represented 45% of VAS revenues, overtaking SMS revenues, which accounted for 44%. For example, one local mobile operator saw quarterly mobile Internet revenues grow from 45.5% to 54.2% of its total VAS net revenues on an annual basis, this represents 92.3% growth.
The focus for the sixth edition of MAVAM is the messaging market, with the research confirming that SMS currently represents 80% of messaging traffic volumes sent over the last three months, and is still the main VAS service used by mobile users today. SMS growth has driven sales of messaging packages and rewards programs in Brazil, which were launched by operators during the South African World Cup. However, because of growing SMS usage worldwide and the high cost of SMS services in Brazil, the country is the lowest ranking user of SMS services in contrast to other Latin American countries, with an average of 16 messages sent per device, per month. This is compared to Venezuela, which has an average of 223 messages per device, per month, and Argentina, with 120 messages per device, per month.
According to Rafael Steinhauser, senior vice president and general manager for Acision Latin America, "Brazilian SMS users are changing their usage habits and want access to new personalized services and features from operators. When analyzing our MAVAM research we found that this will be a big market for mobile operators with plenty of opportunities opening up. For example, among the many options for personalizing messaging services, two stand out as garnering the most interest among those surveyed for the sixth MAVAM research. 58% said they would be interested in storing SMS messages in an online environment and 56% said they would accept advertising at the end of messages they received, providing they could pay less for the messages they send. Another highlight from the survey is that users are willing to pay additional monthly fees, of around 0.50 BRL, to access a variety of new additional services.
Key information from the 6th MAVAM survey:
VAS revenues in Q3 2010 totaled 2.8 billion BRL for all operators
VAS now represents an average of 16.2% of gross service revenues in Brazil
Revenues from mobile Internet are 1% higher than revenues from SMS services
SMS represents 80% of mobile messaging services
Personalized messaging is a new market that operators can explore
91% of those interviewed said they had received SMS/MMS messages with promotions or advertising in the last three months.

I just purchased a '87 R80 with about 100K miles on it. The bike is in excellent shape with the exception of a broken odometer and a noise in the right side jug.
When I purchased the bike the owner told me, 'there is a loud ticking sound in the right side jug that has been getting worse', and he thinks he's noticed less power. He has adjusted the valve clearances regularly and thinks the problem is that it may need new valves.
Riding the bike it seem's fine. However, since the previous owner know's the bike I'm figuring I'd better check this thing out.
What are your opinions on this, please? At 100K miles what preventative maintenance might I want to look into? Thank you.

The Coming Blood Moons
The Four Blood Moons: Do They Have Prophetic Significance?
Much discussion and speculation has come about as of late regarding the coming "Blood Moons", a series of four consecutive total lunar eclipses scheduled to appear in the Spring and Fall of 2014-2015 (two eclipses per year). According to NASA, these astronomical events are known as lunar tetrads, and they are somewhat common; a total of 142 lunar tetrads have taken place over the past 5,000 years. What makes the Blood Moons of 2014-2015 particularly significant is that the occurrences of these lunar eclipses coincide with the Jewish feasts of Passover and Succoth (in Spring and Fall respectively) in both 2014 and 2015. This convergence of events is extremely rare, having only occurred three other times within the past 500 years, and seven times total since the time of Jesus (Yeshua).
Astounding "Coincidences"?
Perhaps the most striking aspect of these lunar tetrads is that the past three occurrences have not only coincided with the Jewish feasts of Passover and Succoth, but they have also been characterized by major events happening in the history of the nation of Israel. According to NASA, the dates of the most recent three lunar tetrads have been 1492-93, 1948-49 and 1967-68. As any historian will tell you, each of these three dates are marked by key events in Jewish history. Below is a basic overview of what happened on the dates of the past three lunar tetrads:
- 1492-93: On the heels of the Spanish Inquisition, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella issued a joint edict known as the Alhambra Decree (also referred to as the Edict of Expulsion) in January of 1492, which ordered the Jews to be expelled from Spain. This paved the way for an Italian Jew named Christopher Columbus to set sail for the New World in 1492, in hopes of finding a new homeland for the displaced Jews. The New World (i.e., modern-day America) would eventually house the largest population of Jewish people of any country in the world.
- 1948-49: After the atrocities of the Holocaust, the Jewish people experienced a redemptive triumph when Israel was officially recognized as a nation in May of 1948.
- 1967-68: On June 7th, 1967, Jerusalem was recaptured by Israel during the Six Day War, an armed conflict that defied impossible odds. Large areas of Judea and Samaria were recovered as well, increasing their overall borders.
The fact that these lunar tetrads have repeatedly occurred on the dates of key events in the nation of Israel is extremely suggestive of a phenomenon that may again repeat itself in the near future. Chuck Missler, one of the foremost Bible experts of our generation, often says that "To the Gentile mind, prophecy deals with predicting future events, but to the Jewish mind, prophecy is pattern." This pattern of lunar tetrads appearing on the Passover and Succoth feasts has occurred a total of seven times since the time of Jesus, with the "eighth time" scheduled to happen in 2014-2015. Interestingly enough, the number eight in the Bible represents "new beginnings". The book of First Peter talks about how "eight souls" were saved during Noah's flood (1 Peter 3:20), from which God made a "new beginning", or a new order of things, for the human race. Exodus 22:29-30 explains how the firstborns (a new beginning or a new life) were to be given to God on the eighth day. Under Levitical law, lepers were to be presented to the priests for cleansing on the eighth day (Leviticus 14:23), symbolizing a new beginning after being healed of leprosy. Several other examples in the Scriptures indicate the connection between an eighth time and a new beginning. Could this be the beginning of a new era for the nation of Israel? Could it be the beginning of something that will alter the course of history? Of course, the only thing we can do at this point is speculate and keep our eyes peeled, but we do need to understand what God is communicating to us through the movements of the heavenly bodies.
What Does the Bible Say About All of This?
As with all matters of prophecy, it is extremely important that we do not jump to conclusions, but rather keep a watchful eye and stay as close to the scriptures as possible. While the unfolding of these types of events is no doubt exciting and intriguing, ultimately it will only turn out to be whatever God has preordained it to be; nothing more, nothing less. There are, however, strong suggestions in the scriptures regarding the blood moons, one of the most famous of which is Joel 2:30-31:
And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
There are quite a few scriptures in the New Testament that suggest that Jesus placed importance upon being aware of the "signs of the times". He rebuked the Pharisees with the following statements in Matthew 16:1-3:
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, "When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?"
Jesus evidently believed that certain times and seasons on God's calendar were marked by particular signs. The most obvious signs would be the fulfillment of the prophetic scriptures in real-life events, such as his triumphal entry into Jerusalem on a donkey in Matthew 21:1-11, which was a direct fulfillment of Zechariah 9:9. When Jesus was explaining the signs of the end times to His disciples in Mark 13:24, He mentioned some significant heavenly signs as well:
But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light...
It is important to note that there are several different schools of thought regarding the timeline of end time events, including the order in which the Rapture and the Tribulation will take place, but the particular details of these events are beyond the scope of this website. We are simply pointing out that many times God will use the movements of the heavenly bodies to signal certain key events on Earth, as has been historically proven by the lunar tetrads. As a matter of fact, God stated His intention for the creation of the sun and moon in Genesis 1:14:
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.
The Hebrew word for "signs" in Genesis 1:14 literally means "a signal, beacon, flag, omen, or monument". In other words, it's a tool for visual communication. God used the sun and moon to signal key events several times in the scriptures (e.g., the star in the East signifying the birth of the Messiah), and He has definitely done so in His dealings with the Jewish people in modern history.
In a recent interview with Fox News, Cornerstone Church Pastor John Hagee gave some eye-opening insights regarding the coming blood moons of 2014-2015. Below is the video of this interview:
John Hagee has written a book entitled Four Blood Moons: Something is About to Change. This book goes into extensive detail regarding the four blood moons and their significance in the times in which we live. To purchase a copy of Hagee's book from Amazon.com, simply click this link.
As mentioned in the video above, two blood moons will occur on the Jewish feasts of Passover and Succoth (a.k.a. the Feast of Tabernacles) in this year (2014), and two blood moons will occur on Passover and Succoth in 2015 as well. Again, this is not speculation; this data has also been confirmed by NASA's own projections. Below are the dates of each feast in which a blood moon will appear:
Blood Moon Dates
April 15, 2014: Jewish Passover
October 8, 2014: Feast of Succoth (Tabernacles)
April 4, 2015: Jewish Passover
September 28, 2015: Feast of Succoth (Tabernacles)
It is important to make a distinction between the occurrences of regular blood moons and the lunar tetrad that will take place in 2014-2015. Blood moons, also known as "harvest moons", are not rare occurrences in and of themselves; they occur on a cyclical basis. The moon gives off a reddish color due to the relation between the positions of the sun, earth and moon during a lunar eclipse. The moon, when reflecting the sun's light and viewed through the "filter" of the earth's atmosphere, appears red. It is a much more rare event when four consecutive blood moons occur in back-to-back years, as will happen in 2014-2015; this is known as a lunar tetrad. What makes the blood moons of 2014-2015 exceptionally rare is that the dates that comprise this lunar tetrad just happen to coincide with the dates of Passover and Succoth (a.k.a. the Feast of Tabernacles) in both years. We have already mentioned this above, but we wanted to emphasize this distinction due to the potential for misunderstanding; we know that blood moons in and of themselves are no big deal beyond being just cool to look at. But when you have a lunar tetrad (four consecutive blood moons), occurring on key Jewish feast days, and for the past three occurrences they have marked very significant events in the nation of Israel, there may be something to it. Again, we would not be foolish enough to declare any definite prophecies or predictions; we simply believe that these events warrant our attention, and that we should keep a watchful eye on world events during this time.
Keep an Eye on Israel
Interestingly enough, the Obama Administration has issued a statement that a two-state solution must be achieved by March 15, 2014. This solution will include a mandate for Israel to give up some of its land. The language of the statement is quite forceful, as it emphasized that there "will be" a solution by the deadline. As has historically been the case, Israel is once again receiving international pressure to give up land that it rightfully owns. The persecution of Israel by its hostile neighbors continues, and unfortunately the current administration is not exactly favorable to Israel's cause.

Israeli Economics and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett recently pointed out the urgency of the Israel-Palestinian peace talks, noting that a reversion to the 1967 borders would mean "the division of Jerusalem; giving up the Mount of Olives where Menachem Begin, Rav Kook, and Eliezer Ben-Yehuda are buried; and giving up the Western Wall, the Temple Mount, and the Old City." In light of the coming completion of the peace talks (and, presumably, some sort of "solution"), it will be interesting to see what types of events may be marked by the lunar tetrad of 2014-2015.
The Blood Moons: Studies by Mark Biltz
Mark Biltz, pastor of El Shaddai Ministries International, was one of the first to discover the link between the blood moons and the Jewish feasts. He has conducted extensive research into the topic, not only detailing the significance of the lunar tetrads but also showing how certain solar eclipses have also coincided with Jewish feast days. He has published a ton of information on the subject of the blood moons, and he is releasing a book in March of 2014 entitled Blood Moons: Decoding the Imminent Heavenly Signs. To order the book on Amazon, click here.
Pastor Biltz offers a plethora of information about the blood moons on his website. He has created a diagram that shows not only the timeline of the blood moons in relation to the 2014-2015 Hebrew feast calendar, but he also highlights the fact that there are solar eclipses that correlate to Hebrew feast days as well. Below is a timeline that illustrates these facts:

Discerning the Times and Seasons
As we stated earlier, we do not dare to predict any specific events, as most end-time prophetic claims either turn out to be slightly inaccurate or just completely wrong (ever heard of "88 Reasons Why the Rapture Will Be in 1988"?). We want to emphasize that we are NOT making prophecies or predictions of any kind. Something awesome may happen over the span of this lunar tetrad, but it is also possible that absolutely nothing will happen. We are simply saying that in light of the fact that the three most recent lunar tetrads have occurred at very key dates in the history of the Jewish people (and the nation of Israel), it may be worth it to keep a close eye on Israel and world events during this unique period of time in which we live.

WESLEY CHAPEL — Guidance counselor Meredith Jones stood just outside the Wiregrass Ranch High cafeteria Thursday morning, handing out brightly colored table passes to each student who came in for lunch.
"Mix it up!" Jones told the puzzled looking teens.
Rather than sit at their usual tables with their usual groups, the kids were encouraged to step outside their comfort zone and meet someone new.
It's part of a national effort sponsored by the Southern Poverty Law Center's Teaching Tolerance project.
"We get a lot of new kids and a lot of new faces," principal Ray Bonti said of his growing suburban school. "It's important for kids to experience diversity."
With nearly 1,800 students, Wiregrass Ranch is Pasco's third-largest high school. Slightly more than 46 percent of the students are not white, making the school also Pasco's most racially diverse.
That does not stop the teens from separating themselves in that most cliquish of places, the school cafeteria, where guidance department chairman Glenn Cable said he can draw a map of where to find the different groups each lunch period.
But Thursday, many gamely went along with the "getting to know you" initiative.
Senior Kalen Wright met fellow seniors Elyse Houston and Kayshla Ayala for the first time at the Mix It Up lunch.
"This is a big school," Elyse said.
She admitted to being slightly nervous about approaching strangers. That's why she brought Kayshla along.
"But they seem like really interesting people, so it will be nice to get to know them," she said.
Kalen agreed.
"I think it's actually quite cool," he said of the event. "You get to meet different personalities at the school and make new friends."
Clarissa Monaco, an exchange student from Brazil, found the activity particularly helpful. She enjoyed talking with different people and also asking them questions as part of the Mix It Up bingo game. The students were to try to find others who shared their interests using a bingo card as a guide.
Those who completed a line first won small prizes.
"I usually sit with a group of people that I met in acting class," she said. "At first it was really difficult to make friends. This is really great. I like it."
Not everyone shared in the enthusiasm.
"This is our free time, and we want to be with our friends," said sophomore Heather Ford, who sat with the same girls she's eaten lunch with for two years.
Freshman Brelyn Davis attempted to get her bingo card filled out by visiting other tables, but retreated to her group after getting nowhere.
"Most people are not into Unity Day. They want to sit with their friends and they don't really care about the game," said Brelyn, a purple-haired girl with Halloween-themed braces (orange and black bands) who explained she aims to be different.
Her friend, Robbie Carr, loaded down with chains and bracelets, didn't even try, saying he's been called enough names by people who don't know him.
"It's a good concept, but you need to have it be more monitored or in a smaller group," Robbie, also a freshman, said.
Between bites of spaghetti, salads and pizza, many students said they feel like Wiregrass Ranch already mixes it up plenty without much encouragement.
"People here have more respect for each other" than at other schools, said junior Josie McCrary, who attended a different high school last year.
Freshman Amber Grace, who shared lunch with Josie, shared that view.
"It's like seniors wouldn't be caught dead with the freshmen," she said. "But here, everybody hangs with everybody. It's cool."
As students streamed out to their next classes after lunch, one boy shouted out, "Nice meeting you guys!" A girl remarked to her friends, "We met a whole bunch of new people."
Listening in, the counselors smiled at one another and expressed pleasure at a job well done, if only for a day.
Several other Pasco middle and high schools planned to participate in Mix It Up, though many did not have their activities on Thursday. They included River Ridge Middle, Pine View Middle, Gulf High and Wesley Chapel High.

Absolutely Avocados!
I've been obsessed with avocados for as long as I can remember. You can literally use avocados in almost anything! Even as a butter replacement in dessert. They are the best superfood out there and they taste great. Plus who doesn't love a big bowl of guacamole?
So, when I was approached to write my first cookbook, I jokingly said I wanted to write about avocados and a few hours later my agent was calling me with contracts.
Absolutely Avocados took about five months to write and test, and then another few months to edit and shoot photography. It was a crazy amount of work to do while I was still working as a private chef in Beverly Hills, running my food blog and planning my wedding at the same time.
My husband, Thomas Dawson '07, is my chief taste tester, website developer, plus full-time ad executive—a big job. I think we ate over 500 avocados during the recipe testing and photography for the book and probably dozens more during my book tour.
To be honest, I just stumbled into the food world. I've always been obsessed with food; cooking for my friends in college was my favorite thing to do. I absolutely did not like my first job out of college, so I left and went to culinary arts school. I also applied to be a private chef for a family in Malibu. That's where everything started. I worked with a few amazing celebrity clients in L.A. over the years as a private chef and now I just work full time for myself. My blog—"What's Gaby Cooking?"—is my life!

Bartow building going Solar | Environment
Bartow, FL -- They don't call us the "Sunshine State" for nothing.
Starting in September, several of Bartow's municipal buildings will be fitted with solar panels which city officials estimate could save around $15,000 a year in energy costs.
The project is being funded by a 2009 stimulus grant. Bartow only has to pay to insure the panels, which are provided by DCS Energy.
They're scheduled to be installed on Bartow City Hall, the police station, water plant, and other municipal structures.

RMT Strike Action announced for 3rd and 5th October
You are here: Home > Southern > Latest news > News archive > 2011 > September > Wembley Central station to be step-free in time for the Olympics
Date: 01 Sep 2011
Station improvements to make travelling by train easier on one of London's main Olympic rail routes has started.
Network Rail is to carry out work at Wembley Central station to make it more accessible, providing a step-free route between the station entrance and platforms for the first time.
The improvements will benefit Southern passengers travelling to watch football at Wembley Stadium, and badminton and gymnastics at Wembley Arena.
The £2.5m improvement scheme, which has already started, also includes the installation of two new lifts, a stair lift, and the refurbishment of the toilets to make them fully accessible. For the first time, there will be step free access to all platforms.
Network Rail will also be carrying out platform extensions to provide the capacity for longer eight-car trains at two platforms. This means the station will be able to better accommodate additional numbers of passengers during the Olympics and other future major events.
The project has been funded by the Department for Transport's Access for All programme, which aims to make travelling by train easier for everyone, especially those with reduced mobility, parents with young children or people with heavy luggage.
There will be no disruption to Southern passengers as a result of the construction work.
Work is expected to be completed in summer 2012 before the start of the Olympic Games.

Order Copy of Secret of the Nile Valley
The gnarled and weathered face lay sleeping as a youthful group clustered about the room. Hushed voices enveloped the ornate quarters. A deep yawn and a stretching of his frail arms dropped a cloak of silence over the room. The group closed in tighter.
The old man opened his eyes to a theater of anxious faces. An unrelenting electronic beep, like the caution signal on a truck backing up, was an ominous reminder of the patient's waning health. Except for blinking lights on the heart monitor, a single lamp offered the only illumination in the room, the dimness masking their deep concerns.
"Professor, some of your students have come to see you," a pleasant but anxious voice uttered. "Is there anything that we can get for you? Is there anything you need, Professor?"
The old man, in his weakened state, tried to speak, but the words remained lock inside. After wiping the sleep from his eyes, he gestured toward a pitcher of water on the nightstand. With help, the old man sat up. Slowly, he raised the glass to his mouth. After a few slow and painful swallows, grimacing from the pain, the old man spoke.
"More light," said the professor, his voice hoarse and cracked. In an instant, the shadows retreated and the room was bathed in light. Squinting slightly, he scanned the circle of faces.
"This is finals week if I am not mistaken. So, what are all of you loafers doing here?"
"For your full recovery we beseech the Eternal in hopes that we may once more drink from the fountain of you wisdom. And we are we are alone. Millions more across the country and indeed around the world share our deep thirst. Your masterful works, Chronicles of World History, has helped to liberate the minds of a grateful world. Many others were turned away by a mountain of a nurse."
Bursts of laughter erupted around the room, and then just as quickly subsided. The old man's parched lips formed a weak smile.
"So, how have you managed to remain behind pass visiting hours?"
"Well, let's just say that we got special permission," the young co-ed replied, with an enigmatic smile. The self-appointed spokesperson glanced over her shoulder at the others as they encouraged her forward with nods of approval.
"I know that you're not just here to comfort a sick old man. If there is something that you intend to ask me, go ahead and ask and be swift about it," he grumbled. His incensed tone froze the young woman in mid step. Her face went blank. A slight tension invaded in to the room.
The old man, with a playful wink of his eye, dispelled the tension and planted a glowing smile on the face of the nervous young women.
"Go ahead, what's on your mind", he asked, attentively.
"My name is Catherine, Professor, Catherine Donovan," she informed him while inching forward to the foot of the bed, her eyes diverted downward.
"Donovan you say? Any relation to our Council President," the aged scholar inquired with a mischievous grin.
"He's my father, Professor."
"Of course, please continue, lassie"
"Professor, the history classes and spiritual retreats offered by the Centers for Enlightenment have fallen short of revealing what it was really like during the last days of the Old World.
"The books are factual and informative, but there is something woefully lacking in them. Perhaps they are too factual." The others collectively voiced their agreement. "Your voluminous works as well as the works of other great scholars has revealed much about our past. Nonetheless, the books and the lectures are noticeably silent on the subject of our deepest interest.
"Not that we're questioning the Centers of Worship, the Grand Council, or the nation's honored scholars and scientist. Nor do we want to appear as spoiled and ungrateful youth. It just, well, sometimes we find their scholarship a bit insipid."
"Insipid? Ha, down right boring is what it is." The old man's voice was growing more spirited, and there was a mischievous glimmer in his eye. His mind was reaching back.
"I was young once, and like you. I too yearned for more. That's the way it is with each generation as they come of age. I would love to divert the culpability elsewhere, but I was a part of planning that gave rise to the present curriculum."
Hesitantly, the young woman proceeded. "Our elders, guided by the enlightened Counsel of our beloved Monrovia, have given us the priceless gift of lasting peace and abundance. No one wants for anything and every citizen is encouraged to pursue his or her deepest passions.
"The need for competition and conquest has been cast off like old clothing. Utopia is no longer a theme of a writer's pen, or apparition of hippy communes. Nor is it a dream we must wake from. We are living the dream. For this, we bow humbly before the wisdom of our elders and the power of the living God.
"Nevertheless, we are waiting to hear your story. As I said, we have been greatly enriched by your lectures, but we have all detected subtle evidence of another story, your story, Professor.
"We know that you were some one important during the dark times," her tone more pressing. "However, the holographic disks provide only the usual biographical material that appears on the jackets of your books. We know there's more, much more."
"Your words flatter me as does the spring lilies flatter the June sun, young Catherine. I am honored that so many find my work inspiring. Unfortunately, I am not altogether certain that I can still summon what your hearts and minds so eagerly crave."
Responding to the professor's voice command, the head of the bed rose like a drawbridge, slowly with a soft hum. His heightened view disclosed a room of familiar and long forgotten faces; all displaying the same desirous look.
Two young women stepped forward to fluff his pillow, gently leaning him forward and settling him gently back again. His head sank back into the pillow like the evening sun nestling down behind the soft, green foothills on the edge of barren plain. As he lay there, his eyes scanned the ceiling as if searching for the answer there.
As if commanded to a telepath, the enthused visitors settled down on the floor, on the receding windowsills, and along the walls. In the few minutes that passed no one spoke. No one dared turn away. Their eyes fixed on the old man with great anticipation.
Then, he leaned forward. After clearing a roadblock from his throat with a sip of water, he dimmed lights. The half shadows returned and he started to recite from the final volumes: volumes already authored and spread across the lectern of his mind.
"As the twentieth century came to a close, war and terrorism swept over the planet threatening to topple civilization. The political and economic systems strained under the weight of a post-Cold War era.
"What remained of a free America tittered on the edge of a dark abyss when the hand of All Mighty drew His children back from the edge of the apocalypse. God's hand would take the outward appearance of a child Messiah.
"Like a tarnished coin retrieved from the depths of a watery basin and restored to it pristine luster, my faith was restored and my life profoundly changed by his words and deeds. My own accomplishments, while considerable in the minds of some, are but a pale reflection of His awesome spender. I was a young man then.
"A young man's blood no longer courses through my veins. Thinning and lacking in sustenance, my blood lags and loiters about in abstention. Time has stolen my vigor, obscured my vision and nestled a silver crown upon my brow.
"Though my time on this earth is nearing its completion, my soul still burns with the intensity of the primordial sun, fanned by the winds of distant memories.
"After the wars, the master entrusted me with the sacred chronicles, much of which was revealed in my earlier works. However, your insight was correct. There is another part that I had planned to publish. Ironically, the sinking sands of my hourglass have left me little time to complete the last volumes.
"Although, we have not talked in many years, the Master's voices still summons His weary agent into service."
He paused as if reliving a special moment. Then he smiled and returned to his enamored listeners. His gaze appeared sharper and more attentive, his voice more robust.
"I will not bore you will another lecture; I too tire of academician formality. Instead, a tale seems more in order, a grand tale. A tale of a boy destined to rescue a nation and to transform a world. I knew him better than most. I was blessed to witness his extraordinary rise. You see, we lived and journeyed together through the life and dead labyrinth that followed in the aftermath of the great upheaval.
"Here, my young friends are my recollections of the world, the way it was just before the dawn of the present era. So many years have passed since He walked among us. Yet, His spirit is ever where present. I will draw from this spirit now. Here is what I know."
On the eve of the New Millennium beneath the once bustling city of New York, the Messiah drew his first breaths. His birth, in a war torn pocket of resistance against the manslayers, passed with little notice except for tiny spontaneous gatherings in remote parts of the country.
Yet, in the hearts of the hopeful all over the world, a star of faultless radiance appeared high in the spiritual sky. The star would grow in its brilliancy, relief against the endless darkness of wide spread suffering and despair.
A clairvoyant sisterhood also gathered to be witness to the divine event. A perilous pilgrimage, across a treacherous wasteland, could not detour the Sisters from their sacred journey.
Seers of all faiths and keepers of the mystical flame heralded his coming. A child brought forth by God to rescue America from herself, and to be an arch over the tumultuous waters of fear and doubt to a distant shoreline of supreme knowledge and volition.
Skeptical clerics marked him a false prophet, as they clutched tightly their crumbling world of stoic illusions and dogmatic perversions of the Word. When this failed to dissuade his followers, political powers sought the Messiah's death.
Nothing less than pretender's blood could satisfy them. Pursued by ruthless raiders, commando units, and the world most powerful military, the miracle child blossomed in to a shepherd of men and as an enlightened commander on the battlefield.
The boy savior ascended from the ashes of a collapsed civilization as a beacon of light for the righteous, and a final warning to the iniquitous. Those with ears to hear his message, eyes to recognize the countenance of truth and the pureness of heart to perceive the presence of the God in all things, gathered around the boy savior's campfire as he rendered a God inspired dream for the world.
Displaying the mark of the lamb, he carried the heart of a lion into battle. Undaunted, he would assemble legions of spiritual warriors for a final reckoning with the soldiers of darkness. The seeds of his unconditional love and supreme wisdom would give birth to a mythos and spiritual order of unparalleled peace and prosperity.
Under the gripping spell of materialism, the world had accepted the death of God and celebrated His demise. Pious pillars supporting the church shook and crumbled under the strains of scientism and technology. The last vestiges of fidelity blasted away by the twin tempests of political ideology and the capitalist paradigm.
Man placed his faith in the institutions of his own making. As his puny and atrophied social structures faltered, starvation, war, and mutated viral strains claimed the lives of hundreds of millions.
Groping in ceaseless deprivation, man imagined himself alone. With no memory of his divine self, he sank deeper into the darkness. In the darkness, an inscrutable presence revealed itself.
From the recesses of the dark place, it came offering the gift of deliverance. Frightened world leaders were deceived by him. Many pledged heir loyalty to this unholy menace, placing the world in great peril.
Greed, the blind will to power, and the drive to enslave all of humanity became the unholy mission of these arcane lords. For centuries, the dark lords worked to raise the antichrist to a place of worship.
Toward that end, the truth became a lie and a lie became the truth. As long as their dark influence prevailed, humanity was cursed to dwell in a state of barbarism and war. With every world crisis, the powers of the dark one grew
As the new millennium drew near, this demonic order plunged the world in to a New Dark Age. It was an age of that fostered the spread of ignorance, the perpetuation of fear and dissemination of misinformation.
The world witnessed a period of unprecedented economic growth followed by a rapid decline of the world's financial system. Behind the scenes, sinister forces worked to bring about the proliferation of nuclear weapons. The world stood helpless as rouge nations and terrorist organizations tightened the hangman's noose around the necks of a world sentenced to death and awaiting final execution.
The floodgates of reason were flung open and waves of ignorance and loathing flooded the lush fields of tolerance and reason.
The threat first appeared in the Middle East and then spread to the West and the Far East. The western alliance was fractured. Economic competition and the resentment of American hegemonic role in world affairs dampened relations with former Europe. Dozens of former allies routinely lined up in opposition to American foreign policy.
America found herself alone, with the exception of Great Britain and few others sovereign nations, and up against an increasingly hostile Asia. Shifting geopolitical conditions hampered the war against global terrorism. The cost of which was astronomical. The world was never more dangerous for America.
However, the real story was in the United State of America. Domestically, the great nation was showing cracks in its political and economic base. Whispers of discontent grew into organized rebellion.
In a climate of crisis and fear, mid-western states challenged the federal government's authority and power under Article I of the Constitution. Acts of terrorism by domestic and international groups, unprecedented crime rates, and a crumbling economy forced the government to revoke the Bill of Rights in favor of marshal law.
Faced with an insurmountable task, the President called upon the Pentagon to guarantee internal security. When the central government's police efforts failed to calm the escalating turbulence, there was a disintegration of confidence in Washington's capacity to govern. As an undercurrent of panic spread across American, a splinted electorate demanded sweeping political changes. Only chaos ensued.
The nation began to come apart at the seams. The seeds of secession sprouted up in the mid-west and spread like brush fire through prairie town and big city alike. Washington's powers continued to erode until it could no longer preside over the Union. Events began to spiral out of control. Anarchy followed in the wake of wide spreading rioting.
Fundamentalists fanned the flames of racial and ethnic paranoia helping to plunge the land into a Second Civil War. The nation fractured into separate sphere of influence. As the central government's power continued to decline, so did the state of things. Hordes of lawless warlords, opportunistic mercenaries, and Techno-corporations rushed in to fill the vacuum of power.
A murderous and brutal autocratic government would rise up laying siege to Washington and taking the land of the free by storm. From it seat of power in the middle west, New America world replace old America. For the survivors, "…and liberty and justice for all" seemed a distant memory
Alone against the onslaught, a federation of divinely inspired Americans, led by a supreme sage, unlocked the gateway to a realm of infinite possibilities. The course of world history would be forever changed by the battle that was to follow, a battle pitting the forces of good against the forces of evil, with American the battleground.

Let's talk about "the REAL negative deal". People spend a lot of time talking about being "positive" (rather than "negative"), whilst giving very little thought to the subjective nature of their own accusations of negativity. You say you want positive stories, but is avoidance of what you label "negative stories" addressing the issues that will help to change the circumstances? On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri address their decision not to candy-coat their cultural criticism and political commentaries. They also illustrate the need to deal with issues of race and class head on, as illustrated by current events.
Topics discussed include a picture of a Huff Post Live host (who has a law degree) interviewing a cat, whether a college degree is a necessity for credibility, a book of "African American Firsts", how the mainstream version of history doesn't account for the accomplishments of non-Europeans, criticism of CNN and MSNBC for the lack of diversity in their lineup, whether it matters that there is a lack of Black and brown representation in media, Black media needing to step up its game, politics of Michael Baisden leaving radio, people wanting "feel-good" messages, discussion about people who say "You're too 'negative'! Why don't you concentrate on some 'good' stories?", people have the mindstate of looking to others to control and guide their emotions–telling them what to think and how to feel about various issues, schools placed on lockdown because a man with an umbrella was thought to have an assault rifle, Cedric the Entertainer explaining how Black folks run when they see other folks running, what we're giving up in the name of "security", Axiom Amnesia being a DIY operation–Heit & Cheri do EVERYTHING that it takes to deliver Axiom Amnesia's content, and more!

Segment 1
- Discussion about a Huffington Post photo that they tried to make a meme out of. It's a pic of one of their Huff Post Live hosts (who has a law degree) interviewing a cat. This is really a commentary on them and the fact that they are full of it…
- Apparently you need a law degree to get the job so that you can interview a cat. This is true of most of the "new school" group of news pundits. They have to be "accomplished" or be the recipients of nepotism to be allowed to share their ideas on TV.
- Discussion about going to school to gain enough credibility to explain that you don't need a degree to be credible.
- unless you have a specialized need–doctors, nurses, ets.–then you don't need a degree. If you can pass comprehensive exams to show you have the knowledge to
- Discussion about a book that Heit & Cheri picked up from the library that discusses about 600+ pages of African American Firsts.
- Societal "standards" are the mainstream (white) standard, so it is considered a great accomplishment when Blacks achieve something first–or even at all, given the historic and present obstacles.
- Mention about how the media and news networks are all white.
- Discussion about how the few Black and brown faces on national news programs are being pushed out on CNN and MSNBC.
- Discussion about how the accepted, mainstream version of history doesn't account for the accomplishments of non-Europeans (generally speaking)–it is told from the perspective of Europeans. As consequence, we have American history that leaves out many contributions from the people who were already present here when Europeans came over.
- The "founding fathers" are not the forefathers of the majority of Blacks and browns in the country–on the contrary, they were the slaveowners and "masters" of our forefathers.
- Discussion about not being so socially self-centered–giving no though to people who don't fall within your group (whether you're talking about gender, race, class, etc.).
- Discussion about the criticism of CNN and MSNBC for the lack of diversity in their lineup. We are told that these changes were motivated by ratings.
Several commentators have recently noticed that, for all of the turnover in cable news these days, one thing is constant: the faces being shuffled around all seem to be white.
CNN chief Jeff Zucker recently toasted Jake Tapper, who has just started his show on the network, as "the face of the new CNN."
Richard Prince, the veteran journalist and longtime campaigner for diversity in the media, took to his "Journal-isms" column and wondered, "Why Is the Network's 'Face' Invariably White?" Television critic Eric Deggans also chimed in with a column entitled, "Cable News Is Still Unbearably White."
Prince and Deggans have a point: CNN, which recently let go of its most high-profile anchor of color, Soledad O'Brien, replaced her with a white man, Chris Cuomo. In the afternoons, Wolf Blitzer gave up one of his hours to another white man, Tapper. Though Zucker met with both the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Association of Hispanic Journalist to try to address their concerns, there has been no overt sign from CNN that it is considering bringing on any more anchors of color. A CNN spokesperson pointed to the network's recent hiring of Pamela Brown, George Howell and Alina Machado as a sign of its commitment to diversity, though none of them will be anchoring shows.

- Does it matter that there is a lack of Black and brown representation? Not really, because the ones who were on the news were still speaking from the rich, white male perspective for the most part.
- Discussion about TJ Holmes (ex-CNN anchor) and his new show on BET being canceled in record time.
- Discussion about Black media needing to step up its game. Writing articles from secondary sources, rather than doing any real journalism on their own. They aren't doing anything more than the average person can do by simply reading articles on mainstream sites and writing their content based on that.
- Discussion about Dr. Boyce Watkin's video on "Why Michael Baisden Was Able to Negotiate Like a MAN and Not a Little Boy" prior to his exit from his radio show.
- It seems like Baisden wants to be on the radio, but his negotiations didn't work out. Watkins tried to spin it as he is okay with not being on the radio because Baisden knew he could go on to other things. If he wanted to be independent, you don't need to try to negotiate with these corporations.
- With all of the different show formats available, who are people still trying to get deals? Radio makes it much more easy to reach listeners, versus podcasting and other formats.
- Discussion about how Michael Baisden was reportedly locked out of the studio after his negotiations fell through.
- If you are no longer working for a company, why would you think that you would have continued access to the facilities?
- These corporations do not love the personalities. They just love the money the personalities make for their stations.
- Discussion about how Smiley & West's show was removed from multiple stations because of their criticism of Obama.
- Michael Baisden was an Obama cheerleader. Nevertheless, even if you are pushing the agenda that the corporations love, it won't save you when they view you as getting out of line.
- Discussion about how radio companies view complaints against their personalities.
- When it comes to any form of infotainment, the corporation will impede upon your ability to speak freely. The trade-off is that you get money and support from the corporation.
- Many Blacks will boycott Black shows who speak out on issues in ways they find offensive–like criticizing Obama, and will support others who don't have their interest in mind.
- Discussion about people wanting "feel-good" messages.
- Discussion about people who say that Axiom Amnesia is "too negative". Apparently, to tell the truth is to be negative.
- "You're too 'negative'! Why don't you concentrate on some 'good' stories?"
The world is full of people who will give you the rose-colored glasses, and who will lie to you and put candy-coating on every little thing. That' just not what we do here. We have too many things that have to talk about that need to be addressed to focus on that. We're telling it like it is in our area of concentration. – Cher
- It's funny what people characterize as "negative".
- If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. Why do we need to focus on the things that we are not looking to change? If you're thinking about getting your house remodeled, and you decide that the kitchen and bathroom need an overhaul, do you constantly talk about the bedroom you're perfectly satisfied with? No! You focus on the things that need to be changed… Why is that so hard to understand?
- We have a finite amount of time to talk about these issues (2.5 hours per week). We are talking about specific issues that need to be addressed, keeping in mind that there is a finite amount of time for discussion.
- People like it when the police look for things that are wrong. If you're doing it in a good way–so you can correct it–people view it differently.
- Our mindsets determine how we interpret this information. When Heit & Cheri hear this information it's a motivation for change. It motivates them to research, learn more, and hep others to understand the issues better.
- The problem is that people have the mindstate of looking to others to control and guide their emotions–telling them what to think and how to feel about various issues. Lead yourselves…
- Discussion about when leading yourself goes wrong. A guy was walking down the street with an umbrella, and people reported that he had an assault rifle. This is indicative of this heightened sense of alert after the heavily publicized mass shootings.
A typical Tuesday morning for 42-year-old Michael Di Marzo quickly became a citywide multi-jurisdictional manhunt for him and what witnesses thought was a assault rifle in his hand.
Three schools were locked down and delayed as police scoured the area by ground and air, looking for a man described by a teenage tipster as wearing black clothes and a ski mask.
It wasn't realized until hours later what was believed to be something along the lines of an AR-15 or AK-47 was more of a AU-15: a 15-inch compact "assault umbrella."
The "ski mask" was a pulled-up black turtle neck sweater paired with a black watch cap.
Di Marzo had no idea he was at the center of the hunt as he continued about his day March 12, visiting his mother, who had been suffering from complications with diabetes, and doing errands around town.
He took his usual bus routes through town and returned home around 2 p.m., walking the rest of the way through his east Olympia neighborhood.
That's when he noticed a helicopter overhead.

- Why did they lock down the schools? Perhaps they wanted to protect areas where there were large amounts of people–protect the innocent among us.
- Discussion about making our lives a living hell because something happens every once in a while. What are we giving up for this false sense of security? Rest assured, if someone is heavily armed, the few security guards will be no match.
- Discussion about Cedric the Entertainer explaining how Black folks run when they see other folks running.
- We should be asking ourselves what we are giving up for what we think we are getting? We want guarantees where there are none, but the world doesn't work like that.
- You want the positive stories, but you are unwilling to think the best of a person. You want a positive story, but you're "negative" yourself. You want us to make you feel better by candy-coating our content. Give yourself whatever positivity you're looking for.
- Discussion about Axiom Amnesia being a DIY operation–Heit & Cheri do EVERYTHING that it takes to deliver Axiom Amnesia's content. They put in more than full-time hours doing the work that doesn't even feel like work. We are completely independent media.
- Discussion about how most people who start blogs and podcasts quit within a few months.

Dental Anesthesia
Post Novocaine Headache
My son has had novocaine administered to fill cavities two times. Both times he had a migraine-like headache after the procedure. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? What are the options for dental anesthesia that may not effect him this way? He has to have another filling soon.
This is not a typical response to local anesthesia and may, in fact, not be a local anesthesia adverse effect per se. First, you say "migraine-like" headache so it is not clear if you mean true migraine or a severe headache.
Migraine is usually throbbing with associated nausea and/or vomiting as well as sensitivity to light and/or noise. It can be one-sided or two-sided. I do not know your son's age, medical history, where the anesthesia was given, what the procedure was, etc and all of these factors may play a role.
If this was true migraine, input from the nerves that go to face can activate migraine mechanisms in a susceptible person. This can occur from pain, stretching the mouth, long periods of wide mouth opening or even unusual neck position with a mild strain. It is not clear to me that the local anesthetic per se was an issue but on some theoretical level, it might be.
If this was not true migraine, there may be a muscle or TMJ (jaw joint related) issue. I do not know if this is a factor. Or, if your son clenches and/or grinds his teeth a lot, the increased strain of the jaw work may be a factor.
As you can see, this is not clear cut. Regardless, one possible approach is to have you son take an anti-inflammatory, like ibuprofen or naproxyn sodium, both over the counter, an hour before the appointment. This may help. Before you do this, you should contact your dentist to make sure this is ok. Both of these medications can cause a slight increase in bleeding and may not be indicated for your son, so you will need professional guidance. With this limited information, this is the best I can do. Discuss this with your dentist or physician.
