By the Numbers: Path to Economic Recovery
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was the first, critical step in our efforts to create jobs and strengthen and transform America's economic foundation. Despite difficult unemployment news, the Recovery Act is beginning to work and the economy would be much worse without Recovery Act funding flowing to families and communities across America. According to Mark Zandi, of Moody's Economy.com, without the stimulus, the economy would have lost about 500,000 more jobs in the last three months (second quarter) and the unemployment rate would be 0.3% higher - 9.8 percent.

KCBS (California) - Pelosi Visits SF Health Clinic
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited a neighborhood health clinic in San Francisco's Mission District Monday.
Pelosi, D-CA, was highlighting how federal economic stimulus dollars are being used to help low income people get health care. The clinic, the Mission Neighborhood Health Center on Shotwell Street, is receiving over $1 million dollars from the federal government. The money will be used to fund a new, nighttime clinic, and also take care of some improvements like a new roof, upgrades to the bathrooms, and repairs on the heating and air conditioning system.
Pelosi said San Francisco overall is receiving more than $7 million for community health programs. [Read More]
The Plain Dealer (Ohio) - John Boehner was wrong about Ohio stimulus spending
When U.S. House Minority Leader John Boehner told a newscaster Sunday that not a single stimulus-funded road contract in his home state of Ohio had been let, he was wrong.
The Ohio Department of Transportation has OK'd 52 stimulus-funded road and bridge projects at a cost of nearly $84 million.
An ODOT spokesman called Boehner's statement 'disappointing.'
And Scott Varner noted that ODOT had just OK'd six more stimulus road projects which will cost about $43 million. [Read More]
Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Georgia) - Stimulus money flows into Georgia
The U.S. Department of Energy said Monday it will send $32.9 million in federal stimulus money to Georgia to help the state make its buildings more efficient.
The program will be run by the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority, which typically operates on a budget of about $1 million a year. The money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will boost that budget by more than 8,000 percent.
After the governor's office selects the projects, work can begin in August, [David Gipson, energy resources director for the authority] said.
"That's the fastest track we've been on," he said. [Read More]
Northern Arizona Today (Arizona) - Rep. Kirkpatrick Announces More Than $1.4 Million in Funds to Expand Clinics, Improve Northern Arizona Health Care
Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick announced today that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will be making $1,437,515 available to North Country HealthCare to help improve access to quality care in Greater Arizona. The funds are part of $851 million in grants that HHS will release to address facility and equipment needs at health care centers nationwide through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The announcement comes as the Congresswoman finishes her "Standing Up for Rural Arizona" tour, which included a stop at the opening of a new North Country clinic in Show Low. That facility was established with $1.3 million in Recovery Act funds.
"Rural Arizonans are being underserved by our current health care system, and this sort of investment allows us to benefit from 21st-century technology while reducing our costs," said Rep. Kirkpatrick. [Read More]
The Review (Ohio) - County receives additional recovery money
Columbiana County will receive over a half-million dollars of funding for equipment and technology and some $200,000 in grants and loans for a community library as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Congressman Charlie Wilson (OH-6) announced on Thursday the release of funds from the U.S. Department of Transportation and Agriculture that will give the county $537,500 worth of tools and machinery. The total is more than half of the total set for Ohio's Sixth District, which totals $1,090,986.
'This money will create jobs, increase the efficiency of public transportation and reduce general travel expenses for working families across Ohio. The funding represents a continued commitment by the Obama administration to protecting the livelihoods and security of Ohio's families,' [Wilson said.] [Read More]
Herald News (Massachusetts) - Job skills, city park benefit from stimulus
As the eight youth parks employees were working under the sun, another group of kids sat behind computers in two air-conditioned offices on the fifth floor of the Millennium bcpbank building on Pleasant Street. There they were learning the finer points of interviewing for jobs, customer service and computer skills in the Southcoast Center for Professional Development.
The two scenes are just what U.S. Rep. James McGovern was hoping for when Congress voted, and eventually approved, stimulus money to help support youth jobs.
"This is a good example of the stimulus money at work," McGovern said after talking with two youths working at the park.
Thanks to stimulus funding, 627 youths have been employed throughout the region, said James Caulkins, Bristol County Training Consortium director. Caulkins said that last year when the program relied solely on state funding only 180 youths were employed. [Read More]
The Troy Record (New York) Stimulus funds boost energy upgrades
Rep. Paul Tonko and others are calling on low- and middle-income New Yorkers to take advantage of subsidized residential energy upgrades that, while long in place, can now do four times the work they once did due to an influx of federal stimulus dollars.
Billions were set aside in the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to help with energy-efficient upgrades to homes, and $394 million of that is at New York's disposal -- effectively quadrupling the money available to the state's Division of Housing and Community Renewal to distribute to local groups for such projects.
"When you multiply what one house can contribute to resolving our energy demands by the many houses across this country, you can comprehend what kind of impact this can make," said Tonko, an Amsterdam Democrat. [Read More]
Beacon News (Illinois) - Feds give VNA $1 million for renovations at clinic
The Visiting Nurse Association in Aurora and other health care agencies in Elgin and Rock falls will share in $2,643,885 in federal stimulus funding, U.S. Rep. Bill Foster announced this week.
The VNA will receive $1,147,645, to be used for renovations at the VNA clinic on Aurora's West Side.
The Greater Elgin Family Care Center in Elgin will receive $880,000, and the Whiteside County Health Department and Whiteside County Community Health Clinic in Rock Falls will receive $616,240, said Foster, D-Geneva. [Read More]
The Courier Journal (Kentucky) - Energy Department releases nearly $50 million to Ky.
The Department of Energy is providing Kentucky $28.3 million for its weatherization program and $21 million to advance energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives.
The Energy Department's Weatherization Assistance Program will be available to families making up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level or about $44,000 a year for a family of four. Weatherization projects allow low-income families to save money by making their homes more energy efficient, which results in average savings of 32 percent for heating bills. [Read More]

Born of a Spanish mother and an American father, Hofmann developed an appreciation for fine art on an international scale. Her many visits to Spain coupled with her professional drive and artistic ambition have enabled her to cultivate her own unique style in painting and sculpting, capturing the attention of many viewers. "My palette consists of calming earth tones with contrasting dark deep rich colors to create movement, carrying the viewer throughout the painting. I want viewers to find themselves lost in the nuances of my work, providing a moment of visual and emotional meditation and release," she says. Hofmann's work can be found in galleries across Georgia, North Carolina, and Spain.

Pregnancy is the condition in a female in which an embryo or fetus is developing in the uterus. Pregnancy begins at conception and ends at childbirth. In the normal case, pregnancy lasts for nine months during which the mother should gain approximately 25 pounds including the weight of the baby.
When pregnancy is first suspected, urine, blood, and home pregnancy testing can be done to confirm the condition. Amniocentesis can identify fetuses affected by serious genetic diseases and other conditions. In this procedure, the fluid which surrounds the fetus is withdrawn. Tests can then reveal chromosomal abnormalities, sex-linked diseases, congenital metabolic disorders and spinal cord defects. These may include Tay-sachs disease, Down's syndrome, sickle cell anemia, hemophilia, Huntington's chorea, and cystic fibrosis.
When a woman is pregnant, she should get proper rest, exercise, and diet. Support hosiery may be worn to prevent or give relief from varicose veins. The woman should abstain from all medications (except those prescribed by a physician), alcohol or smoking as they may lead to miscarriage or congenital disorders. It is often recommended the woman attend a prenatal care program.
In most cases impregnation occurs during sexual intercourse when the ovum is fertilized by the male's sperm. This is known as conception. The fertilized egg, now called the zygote, then attaches to the uterine wall. Other techniques of fertilization are also possible, including in vitro fertilization, popularly known as test-tube fertilization producing test-tube babies.
According to the American Medical Association, pregnancy can occur even if the male partner withdraws before ejaculation, the woman douches herself properly after intercourse, the woman was experiencing menstruation or if the woman was breast-feeding.
Signs & Symptoms
Missed menstruation
Breast enlargement
Breast tenderness
Darkening of nipples
Morning sickness; this is experienced by 80% of pregnant women, occurring at any time of day or night; morning sickness may be triggered by innocuous odors or foods, or by altered hormonal levels, particularly human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG)
Changed sleep patterns, including insomnia
Intuition (some women are sensitive to biofeedback but cannot define any particular reason for knowing that they are pregnant)
Feeling tired
Loss of taste for sour and acidic foods
Increased urge to urinate
Feeling of pressure on the bladder
Slightly flushed color of vaginal lining
Development of brown spots or splotches on skin
Increased blood volume giving rise to hypertension
Heart problems
Breathing more from the chest, less from the abdomen
Increased acidity in the saliva
Softening of cervical tissue
Enlargement of the uterus
Presence of human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood or urine
Anemia due to Folic acid or iron deficiency
Nutritional Supplements
Structure & Function: Women's Health
General Supplements
Adult Chlorella* Choline* EPO* Fish oils* Folic acid 800 - 2,000 mcg Iron 20 - 40 mg Methionine* Phosphatidylserine* Vitamin B-Complex hi-potency Vitamin C 500 - 1,000 mg Vitamin E 200 - 400 IU Vitamin K* Zinc 10 - 20 mg
* Please refer to the respective topic for specific nutrient amounts.
Methionine may be used in two forms: Methionine and L-methionine.
Chlorella and phosphatidylserine have each been recommended to prevent premature rupture of the membrane.
Vitamins C and K only seem to exert a beneficial effect when combined.
Note: All amounts are in addition to those supplements having a Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). Due to individual needs, one must always be aware of a possible undetermined effect when taking nutritional supplements. If any disturbances from the use of a particular supplement should occur, stop its use immediately and seek the care of a qualified health care professional.
Dietary Considerations
Dietary Goals Diet, a general healthful diet, is recommended during pregnancy. Care should be taken not to gain more than four pounds during the first three months. There is a minimal increase in caloric requirements during this period, yet women tend to eat more during this time in the belief they need to eat for two. During the second and third trimester of pregnancy, the mother-to-be should eat about 300 kilocalories per day above her prepregnancy basal requirements. A weight gain of one pound a week should be the goal during the remainder of pregnancy for a total gain of 20 to 30 pounds.
There is an increased need for ingestion of vitamins and minerals such as:
Calcium Riboflavin Iron Niacin Iodine (from iodized salt) Beta-carotene Folic acid Vitamin D Thiamine
These requirements are met by the prenatal multivitamins which most physicians prescribe.
Pregnant women are advised not to take vitamin A in the retinol form as these levels may cause abnormal development in the fetus. Natural food sources of beta carotene-rich foods are generally encouraged. Megadoses of vitamin C (greater than five grams per day) are also hazardous to the fetus. Its metabolism grows dependent on extreme levels of vitamin C, resulting in "rebound scurvy" when normal levels of the vitamin are provided after birth.
Women are advised to stop smoking and avoid drinking alcohol during pregnancy. Smoking mothers give birth to smaller babies and are more likely to have a miscarriage or premature delivery.
Mothers who drink ethanol are more likely to have miscarriages, as well as give birth to children with microcephaly, cleft palate, or fetal alcohol syndrome. As no one knows how much alcohol, if any can be safely consumed during pregnancy; most physicians recommend total abstinence to be on the safe side.
Anemia can result from insufficient intake of iron. The mother-to-be has an increased requirement for iron, as much as five to six micrograms per day over the normal one microgram per day prepregnancy requirement.
Iron-rich foods can be consumed to increase the intake of dietary iron. The following foods are good sources of iron:
Beef liver Eggs Beef Dried fruit Whole wheat breads
The increased iron requirement cannot be supplied totally through the diet, however, as the average American diet provides only one to two micrograms per day. A physician will therefore prescribe daily iron supplementation at the onset of prenatal care. Since iron intake may cause nausea, the doctor may wait until the second trimester before prescribing iron for a women experiencing extreme morning sickness.
The total red blood cell volume of a pregnant women will increase 20-30% during the last two trimesters. Folacin is necessary for this multiplication to occur. The folacin acid requirement of a pregnant woman increases 100 units to 800 micrograms per day. It is possible to attain this level in a standard diet which provides about 700 micrograms per day, however 0.5 to 1 milligram supplements are usually prescribed.
Muscle cramps may be symptomatic of a calcium deficiency or a phosphorus to calcium ratio imbalance. The Recommended Daily Allowance for calcium for pregnant women is 1,200 milligrams per day, up 400 milligrams from the RDA for non-pregnant women. This can be achieved by drinking a quart or more of milk per day, or through taking mineral supplements.
Morning sickness can be alleviated by eating a high carbohydrate food, such as toast or saltine crackers. It may be helpful to place the food on the nightstand beside the bed before retiring to sleep to quell the nausea immediately upon awakening.
Some women find relief by avoiding greasy or spicy foods, by temporarily following a Bland Diet or by eating small, frequent meals.
Heartburns can be alleviated by eating small, frequent meals, because food soaks up the digestive juices. Antacids should be avoided as they interfere with the absorption of iron.

Ginger is probably the best-known carminative (removing gas and relaxing the intestinal tract).
Milk Thistle supports the liver, which may be having difficulty detoxifying. However, a number of studies implicate psychological problems, like the relationships and the desirability of being pregnant.
Red raspberry plant provides a "sipping" tea. Its consumption can be increased as delivery approaches, in order to help the uterus contract more effectively.
From Native America, Blue cohosh and squaw vine are also useful in preparing for an easier birth.

La Cabana: Donde La Tragedia se Encuentra con la Eternidadby Wm. Paul Young
Mackenzie Allen Phillips's youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation, and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later, in this midst of his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change his life forever.
Cross Roadsby Wm. Paul Young
Anthony Spencer is egotistical, proud of being a self-made business success at the peak of his game, even though the cost of winning was painfully high. A cerebral hemorrhage leaves Tony comatose in a hospital ICU. He 'awakens' to find himself in a surreal world, a 'living' landscape that mirrors dimensions of his earthly life, from the beautiful to the corrupt. It is here that he has vivid interactions with others he assumes are projections of his own subconscious, but whose directions he follows nonetheless with the possibility that they might lead to authenticity and perhaps, redemption. The adventure draws Tony into deep relational entanglements where he is able to 'see' through the literal eyes and experiences of others, but is "blind" to the consequences of hiding his personal agenda and loss that emerge to war against the processes of healing and trust. Will this unexpected coalescing of events cause Tony to examine his life and realize he built a house of cards on the poisoned grounds of a broken heart? Will he also have the courage to make a critical choice that can undo a major injustice he set in motion before falling into a coma?

La Encrucijadaby Wm. Paul Young
Anthony Spencer es egoista, esta orgulloso del exito empresarial que ha conseguido por si mismo y se encuentra en el punto maximo de su carrera a pesar de que el costo de ese logro ha sido dolorosamente alto. Una hemorragia cerebral deja a Yony en coma, en la sala de terapia intensiva de un hospital. Despierta para encontrarse en un mundo surrealista, un paisaje viviente que refleja las dimensiones de su vida terrena, desde lo bello hasta lo corrupto. Es, en ese sitio, donde tiene vividas interacciones con otros individuos, que supone son proyecciones de su propio subconsciente, pero cuyas instrucciones sigue, sin importar nada, con la posibilidad de que puedan conducirle a la autenticidad y, tal vez, a la rendencion. La aventura sumerge a Tony en profundas e intrincadas relaciones donde es capaz de ver, ocultar sus intereses personales y la perdida que surgen para oponerse a los procesos de sanacion y confianza. Esta conjuncion inesperada de sucesos provocara que Tony examine su vida y se percate de que he creado un castillo de naipes sobre el terreno envenenado de un corazon roto? Tendra tambien el valor de tomar una decision critica que pueda resarcir la grave injusticia que puso en marcha antes de entrar en coma?

SOUTH FORK, Colo. (AP) - A massive wildfire is headed toward a Colorado mountain town, and fire managers say the chances of saving it are slim.
The tourist town of South Fork was evacuated Friday morning as the 47-square-mile acre West Fork Fire moved closer. Wildland firefighters were teaming up with local firefighters to try to save the town, which is surrounded by forest.
Fire spokesman Penny Bertram says officials rate the chances of saving the town of about 400 full-time residents as "low to moderate."
Bertram says the hot, dry and windy weather along with large stands of beetle-killed trees are causing extreme fire behavior. While most fires actively burn four hours a day, this one is burning for 12.
The fictional Griswold family camped in South Fork in 1983's "National Lampoon's Vacation."

Nebraska honoring UCLA's Nick Pasquale with helmet decal
"Bigger than any football game." -@BoPelini. #Huskers will honor @UCLAFootball and Nick Pasquale at tomorrow's game. http://t.co/0PLgIDFCgp—
Nebraska Huskers (@Huskers) September 13, 2013
On Sunday, UCLA announced the death of redshirt freshman wide receiver Nick Pasquale, who was struck by a car while walking in his hometown of San Clemente, Calif. As the No. 16 Bruins prepare to face No. 23 Nebraska this weekend, the Cornhuskers are doing their part to honor Pasquale's memory.
Nebraska football's official Twitter feed announced that the Huskers will wear helmet decals bearing Pasquale's jersey number, No. 36. The tweet included a quote from Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini, who called the team's decision to recognize Pasquale "bigger than a football game."
RICKMAN: After tragedy, UCLA set to take on Nebraska; Weekly Spotlight
Earlier this week, UCLA coach Jim Mora Jr. remembered Pasquale in a statement:
"This is a tragic loss," Mora said. "Nick was an outstanding young man who had a positive impact on everyone who knew him. He was a great teammate who was loved and respected by his entire team. Our thoughts are with the Pasquale family."
According to the Los Angeles Times, the Bruins will also wear commemorative "36″ patches on their jerseys and decals on their helmets. There will be a moment of silence prior to kickoff.
Huskers always show Class.
Well done.
Nice move guys. If it was A&M, johnny would have to be paid for wearing the number though.
From an Arizona fan, between this and the Jack Hoffman TD scamper, good for the Huskers.
What a nice gesture by Nebraska.
Class move
@WHO*IS*ESPN Really? Come on dude.

A Shelter Island police chase led to the arrest of a Montauk man who was reportedly in possession of about $70,000 in proceeds from burglaries around East Hampton.
Following his arrest on Wednesday, William A. Donnelly Jr., 30, is being held at the Suffolk County jail in Riverside without bail.
Shelter Island Police Detective Sgt. Jack Thilberg said in a statement on Friday that police tried to pull over Donnelly in a stolen van on Route 114 on Wednesday at 3:56 p.m., but he refused, leading police a short case down Smith Street and Menantic Road. He ended up crashing on Menantic Road and exited his vehicle and fled on foot into a residential area.
"We suspected the van was stolen and knew the plates were stolen," Thilberg said by on Friday. "We also had reason to believe he was armed."
Two New York State K9 unit were called to the island and located Donnelly, who was hiding in a backyard shed nearby where he crashed.
"Upon further investigation, the defendant was determined to be under the influence of and in possession of drugs," the arrest report state. Inside the packed van, police found stolen property, including firearms, rare coins, jewelry, and other items. All of the items had been stolen from the East Hampton area.
East Hampton Village Detective Brian Eldridge said on Friday that a burglary had been reported on Barnes Lane on Wednesday. A neighbor said he saw suspicious activities at the house just after 9 a.m. Items from the burglary were found in the crashed van, which was believed to have been taken from a driveway on Osborn Lane.
So far, Shelter Island police have charged Donnelly with second- and third-degree criminal possession of stolen property, two counts of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of marijuana, petty larceny, operating a vehicle with impaired by drugs, reckless driving, resisting arrest, and numerous traffic violations.
Thilberg said Donnelly was charged with possession of Arazapan, Viocdin, and marijuana.
The detective declined to specify what kind of firearms Donnelly had in the van or how many burglaries Donnelly's arrest might solve.
Donnelly was arraigned in Shelter Island Justice Court and the case will be presented to a Suffolk County grand jury next week. Additional charges are anticipated.
East Hampton Town Police Chief Ed Ecker said the Shelter Island Police Department demonstrated good police work in this bust. "They did a fantastic job," he said.
Town Police Detective Sgt. Chris Anderson was not immediately available for comment.

The low mileage gas is due to a higher ethanol content. (The sign says UP TO 10% ethanol.) I get the worst mileage here in town from HEB and Wally gas. I get the best from the Alon on 7th, but they occasionally also get a high ethanol load. I think that they also own the Alon on 2nd.
Thanks BF for becoming my buddy! I live in Curwensville, PA near Clearfield along I-80 just about 120 miles east of Ohio. I was a truck driver from 2002 to 2010 and drove all over the USA, I did love going to Texas to get all that Tex-Mex food! My son has a job in El Paso and is planing on moving his family from VA to El Paso! Where do you live in Texas, Texas is a big state! lol! Ron
A BIG CONGRATS on reaching that 1M mark and your first new red car! Awesome, most new GBs will never make it to 1M, but you did! : ) You're one of only 7,744 GBs of more than 8,000,000 that signed up to be GasBuddies to have accumulated at least 1,000,000 points! Keep going another 2 or 3 million! Another 2M and you'll be into that nice big limo! : ) Only 2,898 GBs have made it to 2M, so there is room for you there also! Many GBs ahead of you have already retired! DON'T give up now like so many of those that retired once they got to 1M and those that got to 2M! You're doing great, it takes persistence and dedication to keep climbing that GasBuddy ladder, but you can do it, so keep going! Keep going like a PRO Texas GasBuddy, leading the way here in GasBuddyland for others to follow! You've been a great GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Thanks! Ron
Congrats on 1M!
Glas to see you got your speed stripes. YB.Shep
Three years on gas buddy, nice keep posting .
..Be my Texas gas buddy
Hi, congratulations on having the perseverance to post for 200 consecutive days. WOW!! Keep up the great work and Good Luck in the future! Happy New Year wishes for you and yours! Your buddy, Warren :-)
My wife and I wish you a safe and grand CHRISTmas. Hope these HOLY-days bring you lots of peace and joy!!
Actually, the mileage bullfrog69 is the same or nearly the same as gasoline powered vehicles. The fuel is cheaper on an equivalent gallon basis, though there is a cost to convert or a premium for the natural gas powered vehicles.

"The Matrix"
Date Range:
06/08/2013 To 06/08/2013
So as I already told you I first saw the matrix movie during the year of my junior cert in 1999. I had become a stoner and was listening to a lot of heavy metal. The first time I saw the matrix I just thought it was a cool movie. It inspired me, I really wanted to be like the main character "neo", I bought a trench coat, and decided to learn how to program and all that kinda stuff. but nothing really happened for a while I was too busy with my fucked up life. but I often thought about it. It wasn't until I was living in rathdowney at the age of about 19 or 20 when things started to get weird. I watched the 2nd and 3rd movie and played enter the matrix as I was an avid gamer. I started teaching myself how to program in C. At first I felt this incredibly strange feeling almost like I had died and been reborn, hard to explain, I felt totally different. I no longer had any interest hanging around smoking joints and I really felt like my whole life was just some kind of sick and twisted game or worse a prison just like morpheus said it was. I moved back to dublin as I told you and then I was admitted into hospital. It seemed at the time that the music i was listening to had all these refrences to "the one" and "trinity" and all that kindof stuff. when I was out of hospital and had my own flat, for a while I felt incredibly strong, I wasn't taking medication because I didn't want to live a lie. But I felt good in myself, I started to think that other people could hear my thoughts as though I was broadcasting them over a speaker and people were listening to what I was thinking. I listened to the music and It was almost like I was an underground radio station that people were tuned into. The music described what was going on, and I was passing the information on to other people. By the time I was going out with shannon, it was all I could think about. I spent hours upon hours disecting the entire thing in my mind, trying to find the meaning, I was totally obsessed. I would always choose things that were red, as I wanted anyone watching to know that I choose the red pill, that was my way of letting them know. I started to see things that I definatley wasn't imagining and were really there, but any time i tried to point it out to anyone they said i was seeing coincidences where there were none. I was attending glen malure day care hospital and as an outpatient. one day while I was going in there was a bike with matrix written on the crossbar chained to the railing of the centre. I went inside and told the doctor who didn't believe me, she knew all about my ideas. when we went outside and saw the bike, she was really surprised. felt good to say "I told you so". There was always a similar bike chained a few doors down from my flat. around the corner there was a shop "the no. 1" that in itself was not strange. but there was always a matrix bike chained to the front of the shop. ok maybe thats a coincidence. What was really strange was when a bus with an add for constantine ( movie with keanu reeves ) went driving past just as I was standing there looking at it, It had a big picture of him on the side, that was pretty fucking weird. then there was "trinity" street in town, where there was also a "no 1 shop." and if you looked in the window of the hairdressers there was a stand with bottles of "matrix" shampoo. There was also the tanning shop in dublin on dolier street and another on the keys before you reach o'connel st they both had "matrix" tanning machines in poster in the window. It wasn't just that though I was also playing the matrix online, which was a massively multiplayer online game, which to be honest was kindof shit. but anyway the weirdest thing was the dreams. in the dreams i was neo and I was lucid, lucid meaning that I was aware that i was dreaming and I was in control of the dream to a certain extent. I had many many dreams like this from the age of 20 to about 25. I was able to fly and fought agents and smith and exiles I was able to manipulate matrix code and I was in zion and the matrix. But that wasn't the strangest thing. One day while I was awake I had been messing on my computer. I had recently got some hash, shannon didn't know that i had any. and I smoked a joint when she left for college. I was stoned for a while but then it began to wear off. I was staring into space just looking at the edge of my radiator in my flat and then something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye. When I looked up there was a square area on the wall above my hob and below the extraction fan, it was right in front of me. there was green matrix code scrolling down the wall in that square, I stared at it for a few seconds, I wondered if I should get up and touch it, but just as I worked up the courage, it started to fade and then it vanished as though it had never been there. the second it disappeared I started trying to convince myself that it hadn't happened, but I knew it had. that wasn't the only thing though. One time when I was going to sleep I had been awake for about a day and a half I was exhausted shannon had just arrived and I told her I was too tired to stay awake so i lay down and put my head on the pillow as soon as I closed my eyes I started to feel a sensation of being sucked forward and I could clearly see the matrix, the pods the bodies in the pods, I screamed "NO!!!!!" and pushed backwards, pushing myself off the bed at the same time, I had actuallys screamed it out loud and shannon who had been brushing her teeth came in to see what was wrong. I had nightmares of sentinels floating around in front of me, sometimes I would close my eyes and I could see red lights. I was fucking terrified, and you would be too if this happened to you. I remember one night I was so fucking scared of going to sleep that I literally sat there on the floor and begged god jesus or whoever to make it stop, it didn't stop. Another weird thing that used to happen around that time was i would get these kind of jolts in my brain when I was going to sleep. it was like somebody had electrified my brain, it was painful and it was weird, I would be on the verge of sleep and suddenly, bam! it would fry my brain, and I would get really freaked out. I spent a lot of time awake, I barely slept, I barely ate, I looked malnourished, my thighs were so skinny I could almost get my hand around one of them, my ribcage poked out through my skin, my face was gaunt and I looked almost like a junkie, I always wore black clothes and drank a lot of coffee, I could sometimes stay awake two or even three days in a row. the longest I stayed awake was about 3 and a half, when i was going to sleep it was really fucking difficult to get to sleep, just as my eyes were closing i would see this stuff. It was like little bits of reality that flip over really small bits and they would start flipping over and coming towards you, they were white on one side and they looked like reality on the other, really weird it freaked me out so much It too me ages to get to sleep that night.Sometimes when I was playing games weird stuff started happening to the tv, it would flash red for a split second, and I know there was nothing wrong with the playstation or tv. I played the game "the matrix: the path of neo" I didn't know at the time but half of the discs that were made were faulty and wouldn't play, I got lucky and bought it on day one. what was weird is I was listening to rage against the machine playing "bombtrack" on my mp3 player and when I took out my earphones to pay for the game the music in the store was also playing "bombtrack". I cleared the game without much difficulty on every difficulty. then I began to get a bit obsessed. so I spent a lot of time learning all the nuances of each level and I managed to clear the game without dying, which I thought was an achievement. At one point I was able to do the entire smith burly brawl without getting hit at all. I had a matrix dream around that time where in the dream I was beating the crap out of some exiles, I was looking for some kind of information, I grabbed one of them and slammed him against the wall, I told him that if he didn't tell me what I wanted to know I was gonna rip his eyeballs out, and he laughed and asked me why I wasn't playing the game, I told him "because I don't fucking want to". I had one dream where I was in zion, I can't remember too much but It was some kind of celebration, we had just got back from somewhere and everyone was cheering and patting each other on the back. i've had so many dreams I don't remember them all anymore but at one time I could remember tons and tons of dreams I had had about it, I should have written them all down. at one point I went around dublin with a camera and took photos of anything I could find that was related to the matrix. I think i still have them somewhere in rathdowney, they might be in the attic as they were on a cd. Nobody ever believed me, not even shannon, which was heartbreaking. I taught myself programming on my computer that I had built myself. I often caught people looking at me, not that thats peculiar, but it seemed weird at the time. for a while itwas like every time I went outside I would see something relating to the matrix. Loads of movies had refrences to the matrix in them even if they were subtle. all the music I listened to had refrences to the matrix, again barely hidden. I spent my whole time being totally paranoid and scared shitless, I didn't want to live in a lie a dream a simulation, but I had no way of knowing what was on the other side. If anybody was even going come get me, or if i was going to be killed. I was in hospital a few times, but I refused to take medication when they let me out, I knew it was bullshit. The dreams were so real, when I was about 25 they finally stopped. I had a dream in carlow where I was in a pod I could see clearly, It was similar to the movie but a bit different. I turned my head and I could see the pod next to mine, there was a person in it with all the wires sticking out of them, but the interesting thing is, the person was semi-transparent, you could actually almost see through them, it was weird. the a voice said "you are not god!" and I woke up back in my bed. The last dream I had about the matrix was I was talking to an old man and I was neo in the dream, and he was asking me what colour my hair was and stuff like that, after he had finished asking me all the questions, matrix code started running down my vision and the words "oclumency test" came into focus. if you've ever read harry potter you would know that occlumency is what harry uses to get voldemort out of his head, which is weird but anywayz. up until that point i had been having dreams about the matrix almost every night, usually very vivid dreams that I could clearly remember in the morning. but as i said it pretty much stopped all of a sudden when i was in carlow, which is a very short time after i started hearing the voices. I kind of think that maybe the voices were some kind of torture method, not sure what they were trying to achieve, but thats the way it seems. So, you probably don't believe any of that, or you think i'm crazy, I've been around too long to not know what kind of response I will get for this. I know exactly what to expect from you, truth is I don't care what you think, I'm writing this for anyone who is interested in hearing a different perspective. I have since gone on to learn a few different programming languages and also 3d modeling, I have learned as much about computers as I can and I am still learning new things every day, my intention has always been to find a way to get out, I may have got a bit diverted at times, but i have a pretty good understanding of how the whole thing works, that's based on the assumption that they're technology is based on our technology. If you have seen computer games evolution over the last twenty or more years, it's obvious where its going, one day we will probably have games that are indistinguishable from reality, it's practically a foregone conclusion. if you even look at any of the recent tech demo's for games engines they are pretty close not perfect but close. how many more generations until you can't tell the difference? what if it's too late by then? you know what would happen if games were indistinguishable from reality? Panic! mass panic! people wouldn't be able to tell the difference, everybody would start questioning their lives and their reality, it would be a catastrophe. now just pretend this is the matrix, do you think the machines would ever let it get to that point? I doubt it. I've got a feeling that something bad is going to happen, if you read any of the rest of my life story you probably know that it's more likely than not as it seems my life is pretty horrible, in fact I didn't actually realise how horrible it was until I read it over, but now I can see it's really fucking horrible, it's almost a bit fantastical, Like how can all that bad stuff happen to just one guy? its so weird cause I don't actually want to believe that that is my life, but the truth is that it is.

Ulm isn't considered part of the Romantic Road, but it's definitely worth visiting, if only for one reason: its mighty Münster, which has the world's tallest church tower (536 feet). Ulm grew as a medieval trading city thanks to its location on the Danube River. Today the proximity of the Old Town to the river adds to Ulm's charm. In the Fishermen's and Tanners' quarters the cobblestone alleys and stone-and-wood bridges over the Blau (a small Danube tributary) are especially picturesque. And down by the banks of the Danube, you'll find long sections of the old city wall and fortifications intact.
