Boxes of Knowledge
First, let me add that this comes after publishing the article on HELLRAISER HORRORS.
We know after building the Box, Albertus Magnus spent THIRTY years building "Android" with the help of the Cenobites. The Android was stopped by St. Thomas.
Only the "Key to Ones Ultimate Truth" is mentioned as being constructed in the 1245-75 period, and that was towards the end. his suggests "The Box of Gateways" was constructed between 1275 and Albertus Magnus' death in 1280.
Why, so close to completing his "Android", would he stop to create this Box? Perhaps the answer lies in the construction, in the Box using human blood. Could it be that "The Key to Ones Ultimate Truth" was somehow integral to bringing his creation to life?
Passages from the diary of the Comte de Saint Germain :
Paris, 1749 AD
" I recently discovered this strange box in the archives of the masonic lodge "Grand Orion de France" in Paris, of which I am part. It made me think immediately of one of the music boxes Msr. Philippe Lemarchand produces, and which I intend to purchase. But, according to the documents that I found with it, this very box is much older."
"These documents, which some think might have been written by Christian Rosencreutz, founding father of the Rose-Croix, explain this box. "The Key to one's Ultimate Truth" as it's called, would have been produced around the year 1275 by the well known alchemist Albert le Grand, Albertus Magnus, and might be the key to the fullfilment of one's ultimate quest for truth."
"I have been studying this object for a few weeks now, and here are my conclusions at this point: According to the writer of the documents, it seems to have been made with three different metals: The light parts with a gold based alliage, the dark parts with lead, and the red parts with an unknown alliage. The only thing the writer seems to know for certain about this last alliage is that human blood was part of its composition."
"The box's six different sides each explore a different domain. To make my study easier, I have given them the following names:
"The Invocation Circle", "The Calendar", "The Kabbalistic Tree", "The Exorcism Circle", "The Vulgar State", and "The Golden State".
"This is where the study has taken me so far. The thoughts of Magnus are still a mystery to me, but I'm starting to see the links between the panels of the sides. The only thing I still miss is the key. Maybe the solution is in the blood…"
"Historical Find Discovered in Excavation"
Headlines New York City / Feb 4th 2003
Story By: Thomas Fisher – NYC Times
" A recent excavation project on a New York State University campus, has led to a mysterious and frightening discovery.
The Antonio Gerasi Construction Corp. (A.G.C. Corp.) had been contracted last October by the university. Their job, to tunnel underground and install new wiring for the campus' new computer networking system. While digging near the Elmer Holmes Bobst Library, the construction workers uncovered what looked to be a rotting wooden crate. The crate laid dormant, five feet under the surface. It's estimated, it had been untouched for over 200 years
Inside the crate, a burlap bag containing dozens of old wooden blocks (as described by A.G.C. Corp. employee Martin Sarkiero). These boxes were later identified by historians as "puzzle boxes" (Lament Configurations) created by Philip Lemarchand, the French architect and genius of the occult. A background check further revealed that the site of the current library (70 Washington Square) was once the site of LeMarchand's New York home. Even the library itself bears a striking resemblance to one of the puzzle boxes.
A larger gateway perhaps, or maybe a landmark for unspeakable atrocities from the past.
Of the ten men that were working on the construction project, only five escaped to speak of their discovery. The five men claim there were originally 60 boxes discovered, of which only 55 remain. The whereabouts of the five unaccounted for workers, as well as the five "missing" boxes, is still under investigation.
It is said that LeMarchand created close to 300 of his puzzle boxes before his disappearance in 1811. "

The Beings of Blue Light and Their Boxes of Knowledge
Excerpt from: Saved By The Light 1994 Dannion Brinkley
On September 17, 1975, Dannion Brinkley was talking on the telephone during a thunderstorm. A bolt of lightning hit the phone line, sending thousands of volts of electricity into his head and down his body, throwing him several feet into the air. His heart stopped, and he died.
When Brinkley revived in the morgue after twenty-eight minutes, he had an incredible story to tell. Saved By the Light, is the profoundly moving personal account of his near-death experiences — the second NDE occurring fourteen years later — and the resulting spiritual transformation that has completely altered his life.
After the lightning strike, Brinkley watched from above as loved ones and medics tried to to start his heart. When doctors pronounced him dead he was already traveling through a dark tunnel toward a spirit being, who led him into a crystal city awash in light and tranquility. Brought before thirteen angelic instructors in what he describes as "a cathedral of knowledge," Brinkley was told of events that would shake the world before the year 2000 — including the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the Persian Gulf War, and America's current economic crisis. Of the 117 revelations that he recalls, 95 have already come to pass.
The Boxes of knowledge
I was able to count the Beings as they stood behind the podium. There were thirteen of them, standing shoulder to shoulder and stretched across the stage. I was aware of other things about them, too, probably through some form of telepathy. Each one of them represented a different emotional and psychological characteristic that all humans have. For example, one of these Beings was intense and passionate, while another was artistic and emotional. One was bold and energetic, yet another possessive and loyal. In human terms, it was as though each one represented a different sign of the zodiac. In spiritual terms, these Beings went far beyond the signs of the zodiac. They emanated these emotions in such a way that I could feel them.
Now more than ever I knew that this was a place of learning. I would be steeped in knowledge, taught in a way that I had never been taught before. There would be no books and no memorization. In the presence of these Beings of Light, I would become knowledge and know everything that was important to know. I could ask any question and know the answer. It was like being a drop of water bathed in the knowledge of the ocean, or a beam of light knowing what all light knows.
I had only to think a question to explore the essence of the answer. In a split second I understood how light works, the ways in which spirit is incorporated into the physical life, why it is possible for people to think and act in so many different ways. Ask and you shall perceive, is the way I sum it up.
These Beings of Light were different from the one that met me when I first died. They had the same silver-blue glow of that first Being, but with light that glowed deep blue from within them. This color carried with it a great sense of might and seemed to draw from the same source that traits like heroism come from. I have never seen the color since then, but it seemed to signify that these Beings were among the greatest of their kind. I felt as awestruck and proud to be in their presence as I would to be standing with Joan of Arc or George Washington.
The Beings came at me one at a time. As each one approached, a box the size of a videotape came from its chest and zoomed right at my face.
The first time this happened I flinched, thinking I was going to be hit. But a moment before impact, the box opened to reveal what appeared to be a tiny television picture of a world event that was yet to happen. As I watched, I felt myself drawn right into the picture, where I was able to live the event. This happened twelve times, and twelve times I stood in the midst of many events that would shake the world in the future.
At the time I didn't know these were future events. All I knew was that I was seeing things of great significance and that they were coming to me as clearly as the nightly news, with one great difference: I was being pulled into the screen.
Much later, when I returned to life, I wrote down 117 events that I witnessed in the boxes. For three years nothing happened. Then in 1978, events that I had seen in the boxes began to come true. In the eighteen years since I died and went to this place, ninety-five of these events have taken place.
On this day, September 17, 1975, the future came to me a box at a time.
Boxes One Through Three: Visions of a Demoralized Country
Boxes one, two, and three showed the mood of America in the aftermath of the war in Southeast Asia. They revealed scenes of spiritual loss in our country that were byproducts of that war, which weakened the structure of America and eventually the world.
The scenes were of prisoners of war, weak and wasted from hunger, as they waited in the rugged prisons of North Vietnam for American ambassadors to come and free them. I could feel their fear and then despair when they realized one by one that no help would be forthcoming and that they would live out their remaining years as slaves in jungle prisons. These were the MIAs, those military men considered "missing in action."
The MIAs were already an issue in 1975, but they were used as a starting point in the visions to show an America that was slipping into spiritual decline.
I could see America falling into enormous debt. This came to me as scenes of money going out of a room much faster than it was coming in. Through some kind of telepathy I was aware that this money represented the increase in the national debt and that it spelled danger down the road. I also saw people waiting in long lines for the basics of life like clothing and food.
Many scenes of spiritual hunger came from the first two boxes as well. I saw people who were transparent in such a way as to reveal that they were hollow. This hollowness, it was explained to me telepathically, was caused by a loss of faith in America and what it stood for. The war in Southeast Asia had combined with inflation and distrust in our government to create a spiritual void. This void was added to by our loss of love for God.
This spiritual depravity resulted in a number of shocking visions: people noting and looting because they wanted more material goods than they had, kids shooting other kids with high-powered rifles, criminals stealing cars, young men firing on other young men from the windows of cars. Scenes like these played out in front of me like scenes from a gangster movie.
Most of the criminals were children or adolescents that no one cared about. As I watched image after image, it became painfully clear to me that these kids had no family units, and as a result, they were acting like wolves.
I was confused because I couldn't figure out how American children could be left to roam and murder. Didn't they have parental guidance? I wondered. How could such a thing happen in our country?
In the third box I found myself facing the seal of the president of the United States. I don't know where I was, but I saw the initials "RR" emblazoned beneath this seal. Then I was standing in the midst of newspapers, looking at their editorial cartoons. One after the other I saw cartoons of a cowboy. He was riding the range or shooting down bad guys in saloons. This vision was festooned with satirical illustrations from around the country from such newspapers as the Boston Globe, the Chicago Tribune, and the Los Angeles Times. The dates on the newspapers ranged from 1983 to 1987, and it was clear from the nature of the drawings that they were about the president of the United States, who projected the image of being a cowboy to the rest of the world.
I could also tell that the man in these cartoons was an actor, because they all had a theatrical look to them. One of the cartoons even referred to "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and played off the famous scene in that movie in which the two outlaws jump off a cliff into a shallow pool of water. Yet despite the vividness of the newspaper clippings, I was unable to see the face under the cowboy hat. I now know that "RR" stood for Ronald Reagan, but at the time I had no idea who the " cowboy" was. A few months later, when I was recalling these visions for Dr. Raymond Moody, the noted psychiatrist and researcher of near-death experiences, he asked me who I thought " RR" was. Without hesitation I said, "Robert Redford." He has never let me forget that mistake and ribs me about it every time we get together.
Boxes Four and Five: Strife and Hatred in the Holy Lands
Boxes four and five were scenes from the Middle East, showing how this area of eternal strife would reach a boiling point. Religion would play a large role in these problems, as would the economy. A constant need for outside money fueled much of the anger and hatred that I saw in these boxes.
In the first of these boxes I saw two agreements taking place:
In the first, Israelis and Arabs were agreeing to something, but what was unclear to me.
The second accord was one that I could see in some detail. Men were shaking hands and there was much talk about a new country. Then I saw a collage of images: the River Jordan, a settlement from Israel that was spreading into Jordan, and a map on which the country of Jordan was changing color. As I watched this puzzling collage unfold, I heard a Being speak telepathically to me and say that the country of Jordan would exist no more. I did not hear the name of the new country.
This agreement was nothing more than a front by the Israelis to create a police force composed of Israelis and Arabs. This was a very harsh police force, cruel and unyielding. I saw them wearing blue-and-silver uniforms and having a tight grip on the people of this region. So tight was their grip, in fact, that world leaders became highly critical of Israel. Many corroborators on both sides kept an eye on their own people and reported their activities to this police force. They served to make everyone suspicious, causing trust in these societies to disappear.
I could see Israel becoming isolated from the rest of the world. As things worsened, there were images of Israel preparing for war against other countries, including Russia and a Chinese-and-Arab consortium. Jerusalem was somehow at the eye of this conflict, but I am not sure exactly how. From newspaper headlines that appeared in the vision, I could see that some incident in that holy city had served to trigger this war.
These visions revealed Israel as being spiritually hollow. I had the sense of it being a country of strong government but weak morals. Image after image came of Israelis reacting with hatred toward Palestinians and other Arabs, and I was steeped in the sense that these people as a nation had forgotten God and were now driven by racial hatred.
The fifth box showed oil being used as a weapon to control the international economy. I saw images of Mecca and then of the Saudi people. While these images streamed before me, a telepathic voice said that oil production was being cut off to destroy America's economy and to milk money from the world economy. The price of oil was going up and up, said the voice, and Saudi Arabia was making an alliance with Syria and China. I could see Arab and Oriental people shaking hands and making deals. As these images came to me, I could sense money being given by the Saudis to Asian countries like North Korea, all in the hopes of destabilizing the economy of the Asian region.
I wondered where this alliance began, and I was able to see a close-up of Syrians and Chinese signing papers and shaking hands in a building that I knew was in Syria. The date that came to me was 1992.
Another date came to me 1993-and with it came images of Syrian and Chinese scientists working in laboratories to develop a missile that could deliver chemical and biological weapons. Nuclear weapons were becoming things of the past, and these countries wanted to develop new weapons of destruction.
The boxes kept coming.
Box Six: Visions of Nuclear Destruction
Number six was terrifying. I was drawn into the box and found myself in a cool, forested area beside a river. Next to the river was a massive cement structure, square and foreboding. I was fearful and didn't know why. Suddenly the earth shook and the top of this cement structure exploded. I knew it was a nuclear explosion and could sense hundreds of people dying around me as it took place. The year 1986 was given to me through telepathy, as was the word wormwood. It wasn't until a decade later, when the Chernobyl nuclear plant exploded near Kiev in the Soviet Union, that I was able to associate these pictures with an event. It was then that I made another connection between the vision in this box and the nuclear disaster in the USSR. The word Chernobyl means "wormwood" in Russian.
A second nuclear accident appeared in the box, this in a northern sea so badly polluted that no ships would travel there. The water was a pale red and was covered with dead or dying fish. Around the water were peaks and valleys that made me think I was seeing a fiord like those in Norway. I couldn't tell where this was, but I knew that the world was frightened at what had happened, because radiation from this accident could spread everywhere and affect all of humankind. The date on the picture was 1995.
The vision didn't stop there. People were dying and deformed as a result of these nuclear catastrophes. In a series of what seemed like television pictures, I saw cancer victims and mutated babies in Russia, Norway, Sweden, and Finland, not hundreds or thousands of people, but tens of thousands, in a vast array of deformity, going on through generations. The poisons released by these accidents were carried to the rest of the world through water, which was tainted forever by this nuclear waste. The Being made it clear that humans had created a horrible power that had not been contained. By letting this power out of their control, the Soviets had destroyed their own country and possibly the world.
The box showed me the fear in people's hearts that resulted from these nuclear accidents. As the images of this fear unfolded, I somehow understood that environmentalism would emerge as the world's new religion. People would consider a clean environment a key to salvation more than they ever had before. Political parties would spring up around the issue of a cleaner planet, and political fortunes would be made or broken based upon feelings about the environment.
From Chernobyl and this second accident, I could see that the Soviet Union would wither and die, with the Soviet people losing faith in their government and the government losing its grip on the people.
The economy played a strong role in these visions. I saw people carrying bags of money into stores and coming out with small bags of goods. People with military uniforms wandered the streets in Soviet cities begging for food, some obviously starving to death. People ate rotted potatoes and apples, and crowds rioted to get at trucks filled with food.
The word Georgia appeared in a Cyrillic script, and I could see a mafia developing in Moscow that I assume came from the state of Georgia in the Soviet Union. This mafia was a growing power that was in competition with the Soviet government. In scene after scene, I saw mafia members operating freely in a city that I think was Moscow.
I felt no joy as I watched the Soviet Union collapse. Although Soviet-style communism was dying right before my eyes, the Being of Light was saying that this was a cautious moment instead of a glorious one. "Watch the Soviet Union," he said.
"How the Russian people go, so goes the world. What happens to Russia is the basis for everything that will happen to the economy of the free world."
Box Seven: The Environmental Religion
The seventh box held powerful images of environmental destruction. I could see areas of the world radiating energy, glowing like a radium watch face in the dark. Telepathically I could hear voices speaking of the need to clean up the environment.
These voices came out of Russia at first, but then the accents changed and I could tell that they were emanating from South America, probably from Uruguay or Paraguay.
I saw the speaker from Russia as he talked with zeal about our need to heal the environment. People rallied around him quickly, and he soon became so powerful that he was elected one of the leaders of the United Nations. I saw this Russian riding on a white horse, and I knew that his rise would come before the year 2000.
Boxes Eight and Nine: China Battles Russia
In boxes eight and nine were visions of China's growing anger toward the Soviet Union. When these visions took place in 1975, 1 didn't know that the Soviet Union would break up. Now I think the tension I saw in that vision was a result of the death of Soviet communism, which left the Chinese the leaders of the Communist world.
At the time, the visions were a puzzle to me. I saw border disputes and heavy fighting between Soviet and Chinese armies. Finally, the Chinese amassed their armies at the border and pushed into the region.
The main battle was over a railroad, which the Chinese took in heavy fighting. They then pushed deep into the Soviet Union, cutting the country in half and taking over the oil fields of Siberia. I saw snow, blood, and oil and knew that the loss of life had been heavy.
Boxes Ten and Eleven: Economic Earthquakes, Desert Storm
Boxes ten and eleven came in rapid succession. They revealed scenes of the economic collapse of the world. In general terms, these visions showed a world in horrible turmoil by the turn of the century, one that resulted in a new world order that was truly one of feudalism and strife.
In one of the visions, people lined up to take money out of banks. In another the banks were being closed by the government. The voice that accompanied the visions told me that this would take place in the nineties and would be the beginning of an economic strife that would lead to the bankruptcy of America by the year 2000.
The box showed images of dollar signs flying by as people pumped gas and looked distressed. I knew this meant that oil prices were accelerating out of control.
I saw thirteen new nations entering the world market in the late nineties. These were nations with manufacturing capabilities that put them on a competitive footing with the United States. One by one our European markets began to give their business to these countries, which slowed our economy even more. All of this led to a greatly weakened economy.
But the end of America as a world power came as visions of two horrendous earthquakes in which buildings were swaying and toppling over like a child's wooden blocks. I knew that these quakes happened sometime before the end of the century, but I couldn't tell where they took place. I do remember seeing a large body of water that was probably a river.
The cost of rebuilding these destroyed cities would be the final straw for our government, now so financially broken that it would hardly be able to keep itself alive. The voice in the vision told me that it would be this way while the images from the box showed Americans starving and lined up for food.
At the tail end of box ten came images of warfare in the desert, a massive show of military might. I saw armies racing toward one another in the desert, with great clouds of dust billowing from the treads of tanks as they crossed the barren ground. There was cannon fire and explosions that looked like lightning. The earth shook and then there was silence. Like a bird, I flew over acres of destroyed army equipment.
As I left the box, the date 1990 came into my head. That was the year of Desert Storm, the military operation that squashed the army of Iraq for occupying Kuwait.
Box eleven began with Iran and Iraq in possession of nuclear and chemical weapons. Included in this arsenal was a submarine loaded with nuclear missiles. The year, said a voice in the vision, was 1993.
I saw this submarine powering through the waters of the Middle East, piloted by people I knew to be Iranians. I could tell that their purpose was to stop the shipping of oil from the Middle East. They were so praiseful of God in their speech that I had the sense that this was some kind of religious mission.
The missiles that occupied the desert of the Middle East were equipped with chemical warheads. I don't know where they were aimed, but I do know that there was worldwide fear of the intentions of the Arab nations that had them.
Chemical warfare played a role in a horrible vision of terrorism that takes place in France before 2000. It begins when the French publish a book that infuriates the Arab world. I don't know the title of this book, but the result of its publication is a chemical attack by Arabs on a city in France. A chemical is put into the water supply, and thousands drink it and die before it can be eliminated.
In one brief vision I saw Egyptians rioting in the streets while a voice told me that by 1997, Egypt would collapse as a democracy and be taken over by religious fanatics.
The final visions from box eleven were like many images we now see of Sarajevo: modem cities crumbling beneath the weight of warfare, their inhabitants fighting one another for reasons ranging from racism to religious conflict. I saw many towns worldwide where desperate citizens were eating their own dead. In one such scene, Europeans in a hilly region of the world were weeping as they cooked human meat. In rapid succession I saw people of all five races eating their fellow humans.
Box Twelve: Technology and Virus
The eleventh box was gone and I was into the twelfth box. Its visions addressed an important event in the distant future, the decade of the nineties (remember, this was 1975), when many of the great changes would take place.
In this box I watched as a biological engineer from the Middle East found a way to alter DNA and create a biological virus that would be used in the manufacture of computer chips. This discovery allowed for huge strides in science and technology. Japan, China, and other countries of the Pacific Rim experienced boom times as a result of this discovery and became powers of incredible magnitude. Computer chips produced from this process found their way into virtually every form of technology, from cars and airplanes to vacuum cleaners and blenders.
Before the turn of the century, this man was among the richest in the world, so rich that he had a stranglehold on the world economy. Still the world welcomed him, since the computer chips he had designed somehow put the world on an even keel.
Gradually he succumbed to his own power. He began to think of himself as a deity and insisted on greater control of the world. With that extra control, he began to rule the world.
His method of rule was unique. Everyone in the world was mandated by law to have one of his computer chips inserted underneath his or her skin. This chip contained all of an individual's personal information. If a government agency wanted to know something, all it had to do was scan your chip with a special device. By doing so, it could discover everything about you, from where you worked and lived to your medical records and even what kind of illnesses you might get in the future.
There was an even more sinister side to this chip. A person's lifetime could be limited by programming this chip to dissolve and kill him with the viral substance it was made from. Lifetimes were controlled like this to avoid the cost that growing old places on the government. It was also used as a means of eliminating people with chronic illnesses that put a drain on the medical system.
People who refused to have chips implanted in their bodies roamed as outcasts. They could not be employed and were denied government services.
The Final Visions
At the very end came a thirteenth vision. I don't know where it came from. I didn't see a Being of Light bring it forward in a box, nor did I see one take it away. This vision was in many ways the most important of all because it summed up everything I had seen in the twelve boxes. Through telepathy I could hear a Being say,
"If you follow what you have been taught and keep living the same way you have lived the last thirty years, all of this will surely be upon you. If you change, you can avoid the coming war."
Scenes from a horrible world war accompanied this message. As the visions appeared on the screen, the Being told me that the years 1994 through 1996 were critical ones in determining whether this war would break out. "If you follow this dogma, the world by the year 2004 will not be the same one you now know," said the Being.
"But it can still be changed and you can help change it."
Scenes from World War III came to life before me. I was in a hundred places at once, from deserts to forests, and saw a world filled with fighting and chaos. Somehow it was clear that this final war, an Armageddon if you will, was caused by fear. In one of the most puzzling visions of all, I saw an army of women in black robes and veils marching through a European city.
"The fear these people are feeling is an unnecessary one," said the Being of Light. "But it is a fear so great that humans will give up all freedoms in the name of safety."
I also saw scenes that were not of war, including many visions of natural disasters. In parts of the world that had once been fertile with wheat and corn, I saw parched desert and furrowed fields that farmers had given up on. In other parts of the world, torrential rainstorms had gouged out the earth, eating away topsoil and creating rivers of thick, dark mud.
People were starving in this vision. They were begging for food on the streets, holding out bowls and cups and even their hands in hopes that someone or something would offer them a scrap to eat. In some of the pictures, people had given up or were too weak to beg and were curled on the ground waiting for the gift of death.
I saw civil wars breaking out in Central and South America and the rise of socialist governments in all of these countries before the year 2000. As these wars intensified, millions of refugees streamed across the U. S. border, looking for a new life in North America. Nothing we did could stop these immigrants. They were driven by fear of death and loss of confidence in God.
I saw millions of people streaming north out of El Salvador and Nicaragua, and more millions crossing the Rio Grande into Texas. There were so many of them that we had to line the border with troops and force them back across the river. The Mexican economy was broken by these refugees and collapsed under the strain.
As these visions ended, I had the amazing realization that these Beings were desperately trying to help us, not because we were such good guys, but because without us advancing spiritually here on earth, they could not become successful in their world.
"You humans are truly the heroes," a Being told me. "Those who go to earth are heroes and heroines, because you are doing something that no other spiritual beings have the courage to do. You have gone to earth to co-create with God."
I see several things that have came to light and others that have not. If this was a planted image of what the world was to come, we will never know. I noticed at the beginning of the story there were 13 BEINGS. At the end of the story it was 13 VISIONS/BOXES. The New World Order was mentioned. The religion of "GREEN WORLD" was mentioned which is basically paganism. It speaks of Weather Control, ChemTrails, which leave the world helpless and the people in it. It seems it touches on the events taking place on a larger scale now such as; starvation, many wars including racial wars, civil wars included of which I think America will be included also.
The story is riveting and makes you question who would guide humanity in such a way. If you put your thinking cap on , you begin to realize that the involvement of demonic influence is prevalent. The illusion is ongoing and has been for millenniums. Their basis is to fool us and us their technology to steal souls for Satan. The genetic manipulation happening is to change our TEMPLE given to us by GOD for purposes of communication. The change will happen by manipulating our DNA which changes our channel to communicate with our Creator. This is what I believe to be the ultimate sin. When the Bible speaks of not polluting our TEMPLE, it's not speaking of our body…this is just a shell. It's referring to our DNA, our TEMPLE.
Knowledge is the key, for it helps us see through deception and fuels our evolution. Because of knowledge, the alien/demonic agenda will be exposed. Because of knowledge, we will evolve new insights and metaphysical abilities that can prepare us to better counter an overt alien takeover. Divine forces are at work to help us learn – if we actively seek knowledge, the way will be shown. If we actively apply knowledge, the path will be cleared. And if we actively share knowledge, the path will be followed by others.
We know these beings which come to humanity to be demons! Some call them angels, others demons.

Jeep Cherokee XJ - 4 WordPosted in Features on April 1, 2003
The Quiet Months
The juxtaposition of the publishing world and the real world creates a skewed view of time. As I sit here writing, it is only three days before Christmas; yet I am already beginning to work on the May '03 issue of 4 Wheel Drive & Sport Utility. In the real world, I've scarcely begun winter, while in the publishing world, I'm already halfway through a year that technically has not even begun. Einstein was right: time is relative.
So, while my profession dictates that I begin looking at stories on such things as mid-summer trail rides and how best to protect your rig from soaring temperatures, reality demands that I look at how best to protect my rig from what promises to be a very cold winter. Like thousands of other four-wheelers around the country who live in cold climates, I've pretty well packed up my rig for the year. Yes, I know, as our annual winter special attests to, there are those who revel in snow-wheeling, but I will be using the coming months to tinker with my Jeep in the warm confines of my garage rather than crawl through hip-deep snow drifts in below-freezing temperatures.
Before I pull it into the garage, though, one of the first things I'll be doing is crawling beneath the Jeep with a scraper to get off all the muck that I should have sprayed off months ago. Now it has hardened to a rock-like consistency, and if I don't get it all cleaned up, it will eventually start rusting out the floor pan and various parts. Unfortunately, the average temperature has been running in the 40s lately, which is going to make for a long couple of hours.
Once I'm safely tucked away in the garage, I plan to put the XJ up on stands, pull off the thrashed Baja Claws, and begin methodically going through the rig from top to bottom. Something I've been meaning to do for a while is cut out the front and rear fenders to create enough room for the 35-inch BFGs I'll soon be mounting up. One of the reasons I've put it off so long is that I don't like doing things half-ass, and if it's not done correctly, it will drive me out of my mind. Now that I have some leisure time, that won't be a problem.
I've also noticed some tranny problems over the past few months that are going to require some attention. It feels like the torque converter is cutting in and out, but I suspect the computer is at least partially at fault because when I turn the engine off, let it sit for a minute, then crank it back up and take off, everything is fine. Now, I've spoken to dozens of Cherokee owners, and not a single one of them seems to have ever had any problems of this sort. In fact, they usually delight in regaling me with stories of how their XJs have run reliably for well over 200,000 miles with nary a glitch. Aren't I the lucky one?
Beyond that, it sounds like I have some bearings going in the front driver-side axle, which isn't surprising considering the kind of miles I put on my Jeep and the kind of terrain I pound it through. So that will be next on the list. And the other day I noticed some coolant beginning to puddle on the ground and eventually discovered the piece-of-junk plastic OE radiator finally cracked. So I guess I'll be replacing that, too. The list grows long.
If you have similar plans for your rig this winter, know that you're not alone. Thousands of us across the country will be turning up the heat, grabbing our tools, and settling in for a long winter's night.

I've previously reviewed nachos from "La Vic" before and go there at least once a week for a taco or two, but the other day I noticed a sign on the wall for "Nacho Cheese Fries". To use a nerdy analogy, nacho fries, with their use of french fries in place of chips, are to regular nachos what the original Star Wars movies are to the prequels: if you take them all in, the nacho fries, like the original movies, will stick inside you and make you remember them, for better or for worse, for a lot longer time. Of course I had to try 'em and see how they stack up to Iguanas' Nacho Fries!
To mix things up a bit, my meat of choice was Al Pastor (marinated pork). The first thing I noticed when eagerly grabbing my order from the counter was the heft of this carbo-blasted basket of goodness. Literally the weight of a brick - no joke! Intimidating, yes, but I was really hungry, so I poured on some of La Vic's famous "Orange Sauce" and went to town.
The al pastor was a good choice of meat from a texture, if not flavor standpoint: about 5 minutes in, when everything started to mix together, the suacy meat and the fries assumed the perfect texture to be eaten in gluttonous bites with a fork (I don't recommend eating these with your fingers unless you want to look like a sloppy, ravenous heathen). The flavor of the Al Pastor, which I love in La Vic's super tacos just didn't mesh with everything else well. In the end, the sheer density of the concoction forced me to throw in the towel with half of the food still in the basket.
Rating: 3½ out of 5
Rating Notes: Nacho Fries are awesome, but will never score as high as real nachos. Good meat, just not right for nacho fries. Guacamole with low avocado content, but tasted great paired with the sour cream, orange sauce, and pico de gallo.

Everybody Salsa
Yes, the picture is my before picture of my latest salsa creating festival (at least that's what I called it).
I have had a couple of requests for the recipe for salsa for little more than being able to can the tasty vitamin rich goodness. I decided to give in and provide it for the readers that … well, care.
2 Large Tomatoes
1 medium white onion (or 4 pearl onions)
1 bulb of garlic (not a clove which is the smaller portion of the bulb)
2 Serrano peppers or 3 Jalapeño Peppers (if you like it hot add more)
1 shallot (my secret ingredient)
1 bunch cilantro
2 limes (don't get firm ones as you are only using the juice)
2 tablespoon salt (salt to taste)
Basically, the next part is real simple. Dice tomato, onion, garlic and shallot. Ensure that all juices from the tomato make it into the bowl. Slice peppers and add. For hotter salsa, leave seeds and veins in peppers. For the cilantro, ensure the bunch is whole. Grab it at the middle and cut just below where the leaves stop. Chop leaves finely. Squeeze the juice of two limes and salt to taste.
It is a fairly simple recipe. I hope you enjoy.
As for the canning portion, I take a fresh batch and throw it in a wide mouth jar and wait for the magic to happen. It is great off season when I really get a hankering for salsa and even a few jars in my food storage.
By the way, this is the aftermath.

Environmentally Friendly Decking
Certified timber decking products by Q-Deck®- Because forests matter.
Q-Deck products are manufactured from certified timber and available PEFC or FSC® certified on request. Q-Deck Bangkirai and Q-Grip York and Canterbury decking boards are manufactured from and supplied as FSC® certified timber as standard. Q-Deck Lunawood is supplied as PEFC certified as standard.
By buying Q-Deck® decking products you are supporting the growth of responsible forest management world wide.
Q-Deck decking products are manufactured by Hoppings Softwood Products which is a member of the Timber Trades Federation. It is committed to the TTF's Code of Conduct and is a signatory to its Forests Forever Environmental Purchasing Policy which enforces tracability and evidence that raw material is sourced only from sustainably managed forests. They are also signatories to the Timber Trade Federation Responsible Purchasing Policy (RPP). The RPP is a management system, which assesses suppliers for evidence of the legality and sustainability of supply and encourages them to improve.
Hoppings Softwood Products decisions are influenced by the information we obtain from suppliers relating to their environmental practices and the areas from which their raw materials are sourced.
Respect for the environment is an essential part of our business. We are committed to an environmental purchasing policy, which commits us to exclude from production any material which is:
- Harvested from any area where traditional or civil rights are violated
- Harvested from uncertified forest having high conservation value where management poses a threat to the high conservation values present
- Harvested from genetically modified trees
- Illegally harvested.
This policy is overseen and independently certified by B.M. Trada certification. In addition we are a participant in the Forest Stewardship Council® and PEFC's chain of custody schemes and are able to supply Q-Deck decking products as PEFC or FSC® certified.

If you require further information or documentation to confirm the above please don't hesitate to contact us.
Note: Please consult your retail supplier should you require chain of custody certification.
Timber is our most environmentally sound construction material.
We source all our timbers from well managed and responsible suppliers who are committed to active replantation programmes in the forests they harvest.
For example, the European timber industry has overseen a steady expansion of Europe's forests over the past 60 years. Between 1990 and 2000 the European forest area grew by 30% and this growth continues, as around only 65% of the annual growth is harvested.
And by choosing wood we can all help reduce climate change through:
- Substitution for other less environmentally friendly materials.
- Storage of the carbon from the tree throughout the life of the timber product.
- Recovery of the stored energy at the end of the product's life.
- Regeneration of the forests, as timber use encourages replanting, which, in turn, takes more CO2 from the atmosphere.

The big story of the Moscow World Cup stop that begins Wednesday in Moscow is that the American Junior squad, including stars like Celina Li and Becca Mann, will begin a two-meet run against some of the world's best. They will be joined by Tom Shields, Anthony Ervin, and Jessica Hardy, but will not be joined by Ryan Lochte. Despite the Russian Federation's claim a few weeks ago that Lochte would swim their World Cup, he is not on the meet's start lists.
Start Lists/Results available here (not complete).
Watch live on FINATv here.
The Americans will finally have the two men and two women required to enter teams into the 4×50 co-ed free and medley relays, which are making their debut at this year's series. Those squads haven't had names officially attached to them, but with only four men on the American roster (Ervin, Shields, Sean Mahoney, and junior Gunnar Bentz) we can be pretty sure that they'll be involved.
That's about all that's new in Moscow so far. The start lists above are not necessarily complete, but as of now they do not include Ruta Meilutyte, Therese Alshammar, or Britta Steffen, all of whom have won multiple events at the series so far. Meilutyte is not expected to swim, but Alshammar and Steffen both are.
It also excludes Katinka Hosszu's name from the 400 IM as well as those of Laszlo Cseh and Daiya Seto on the men's side. Expect more updates coming to the above lists, but we can tell for sure that there will be huge Russian participation in the meet.
This may have to do with many athletes struggling to get through Russian customs; with the meet's first prelims session just a few hours away, many of the athletes have just arrived in Moscow in the 90 minutes.

Chiron, one of the world's largest vaccine companies with sales of $678 million in 2003, currently manufactures four flu vaccines, Agrippal, Begrivac, Fluad and Fluvirin. Fluvirin, with 2003 sales totaling $219 million, is the top flu vaccine in the
Chiron setback, MedImmune opportunity
Although Chiron produces vaccines at a number of facilities worldwide, only the product from the
Chiron's misfortune could become a key opportunity for the less established vaccine manufacturers. Rival vaccine manufacturer MedImmune has announced that it will increase its production of FluMist by one million extra doses: Chiron's setback comes at an opportune moment for MedImmune, as it gives it the chance to boost its FluMist sales which, since the product's launch in June 2003, have been disappointing.
FluMist was the first nasal vaccine launched in the
FluMist uptake was partially limited by safety concerns and also by the high cost of the vaccine compared to conventional flu vaccines. However, the massive shortfall in supply in the
Alternative options
The problems with the supply of flu vaccine and accurately assessing which viral strains will be dominant are not new. For example, last year's early influenza season led to heavy demand for vaccination. However last year's vaccines, which were made up of three different flu strains, did not protect against what became the most common strain, more dangerous than the three contained in the existing vaccine.
One promising answer is cell culture vaccines, currently being investigated by a number of companies, such as
Cell culture vaccines may not need an adaptation period to grow in human cells, giving health authorities more time to identify new virus strains or manufacturers time to produce more vaccine if a pandemic occurs. In light of the supply problems expected for the 2004/05 season, such a vaccine could represent the holy grail for patients, physicians and other stakeholders, including the pharmaceutical industry.

There is a caveat to this software, though: players need to have a good sound system, since the answers that the other computer-sponsored players provide is only by voice, not in text. If you're taking this game on an airplane, for example, make sure your headset can support the volume you need, or you're likely to wind up frustrated, wondering who was the third emperor of Japan?
Unlike a game such as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Jeopardy plays it straight. So upstanding, in fact, that the other contestants have voices like the kind you hear making announcements at the airport or while you're waiting on hold on the phone. The overall tone matches that of the television show, since the contest questions are of a highly challenging caliber and Trebek is known for his straight-laced, college-professor delivery. The software seems to acquiesce just a tiny bit to the present day, providing questions on recent rock lyrics, for example.
To that end, we did wonder why there were so many questions concerning celebrities. In a matter of only a couple of rounds, we had three answers whose questions were: "Who is Madonna?" It seems a subtle way of making new players feel better about their intellectual muscle, since, let's face it, we missed the question on Genghis Khan.
Educational and of a high caliber, Jeopardy deserves a spot on the shelf of every game show enthusiast and show fan. Parents and kids can spend time together, all the while learning about the myriad subjects this show has covered since its inception in 1964. --Jennifer Buckendorff

In a surprise move, announced today that John Galliano, the house's recently appointed creative director, will show his first couture show in London on 12 January, not, as was planned, in Paris as part of that city's couture week.
Could this be the kind of masterful PR move required to re-launch the designer's career – a designer who many still regard as a legend? Paris, after all, holds the shocking memory of a designer out of control, substance-fuelled and making anti-Semitic remarks late one night in a bar which led to his dismissal at Dior and, as he put it rather shakily at the British Fashion Awards two weeks ago before handing Anna Wintour her Outstanding Achievement Award, that he had become 'a fashion outcast'.
London, on the other hand, holds sweeter memories. The young and impressively talented Galliano and his 1984 Saint Martins graduation collection, 'Les Incroyables' – the likes of which had never been seen - that set him on the road to fashion stardom. The small studio he set up at the end of the King's Road in Chelsea became one of London's most creative hubs that triggered this city's reputation as a hotbed for fierce fashion talent. He not only inspired legions of young Brits to become designers in the first place, but also influenced where they would apply to become one - Saint Martins School of Art, in turn, became the biggest breeding ground of designer stars.
Perhaps Galliano's carefully orchestrated return after a four-year absence will be received with more sensitivity here in London, in front of a no-doubt attentively chosen audience of 100 fashion insiders, 'around Tea Time', as the invitation puts it, and in an as yet undisclosed location 'intrinsically related to the city's traditional tailoring history and heritage.' Could it be referring to Savile Row? Somewhere in Spitalfields, in London's East End where tailors still ply their trade?
Gif above: Johan Galliano, the Dior years. All photos Getty Images
The most pressing question is what Galliano will do for Maison Martin Margiela? His appointment flies in the face of everything Martin Margiela ever stood for – Margiela, the invisible designer, was famously never photographed and never interviewed, believing his designs should do all the talking. John Galliano, meanwhile, made his bow central to proceedings at his Dior shows, often taking to the stage 'in character', sometimes in as outrageous an outfit as possible.
But that was then and times have changed. And Galliano would like us to believe he has changed. As Renzo Rosso, president of president of OTB (Only The Brave), the group which owns Maison Martin Margiela, said of Galliano's appointment: 'I look forward to his return to create that fashion dream that only he can create.'

Breast Cancer Funding from the State
Tarice Sims: 10 years ago, 71-year-old Elyria native John Vanco got some surprising news.
John Vanco: I was getting my annual physical and the doctor was checking me, and he found out a lump was under in my breast and suggested I go to a specialist.
TS: The specialist found that the lump was cancerous. Soon after Vanco had a mastectomy. Since then he has become an advocate for men and women with the disease. Even though breast cancer affects under 1,500 men a year nationally, one in eight women are expected to get the disease in their lifetime. Currently there is help - for women.
In 1994, Ohio enacted a breast and cervical cancer program which is a federally funded screening and diagnosis program. The government mandates the State Health department is restricted to use screening funds for treatment. Last year legislators passed the Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program. Sukey Barnum is with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services which works with the health department on this program.
Sukey Barnum: The new coverage under the treatment act of 2000 it's actually a separate program. It's a treatment component, it's a federal option under the Medicaid program, it treats the screening and diagnosis program as a front door but it's not really an expansion of that. It's trying to solve the problem that existed with just the screening and diagnosis that you would have someone diagnosed and you would still have trouble difficulties finding treatment for them.
TS: Barnum says the new program will make the process easier. Also, Ohio Medicaid budgeted nearly $6 million for the program of which $1.6 million comes from the state, but the new easier process won't be in operation until the summer. Liz Schulte is breast cancer survivor and is now President of the Northern Ohio Breast Cancer Coalition. She spends many days shuttling uninsured, low-income women to doctor's appointments because they can't afford transportation. Schulte says getting the treatment program enacted was a good first step but it's not enough.
Liz Schulte: The way the state is wanting to look at it right now is they only want to cover that woman's Medicaid expenses until she completes her active treatment. That would take all of these women who have no health insurance and are working it would remove their access to follow-up care.
TS: Schulte adds aftercare treatment isn't the only way the program needs to be expanded. Men who are living with the disease also want to be included in all legislation. John Vanco says when he was diagnosed there was limited information about male breast cancer. He says many men don't even know how know examine themselves for the disease.
JV: I read all this literature and you probably read all this literature too. It has women should do this and women should do that. I feel that the word man should be included in all literature, local state federal what have you because we have the same problems also.
TS: Vanco says he wants to become a lobbyist to give men with breast cancer a voice. And although Vanco has support some medical professionals are not optimistic inclusion is in the near future. Dr. Katherine Lee is a cancer breast specialist at the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Lee treats both genders and says she knows how embarrassing and uncomfortable it can be for men. She says government officials pay attention to the numbers when it comes to legislation.
Katherine Lee: They always talk about screening should be cost effective and it should actually diagnoses a disease that is prevalent in the community. And although breast cancer is prevalent in the male population it tends not to be as prevalent it, it may not be something that legislation or the government may think of as a cost effective test because of that reason.
TS: Dr. Lee says right now the Cleveland Clinic does not screen men for the disease for the same reason - roughly 50 were diagnosed in Ohio last year. Still Vanco says it's worth the effort, and he plans to do join the women in Washington next month to lobby members of Congress for educational services, and funding for research. Last year the cause lost nearly $200 million because the money was needed for the United States Defense Budget. In Cleveland, Tarice Sims, 90.3 WCPN News.

|Author Megan Kelly
Sarah, thanks for having me here. I'm tickled to meet your readers. In fact, I'd like to offer (to a random commenter, a pdf of Holly & Ivey and a hand-knit scarf like the one mentioned in the book. What a fun way to celebrate the season. It's green, red and white yarn, which makes it good for Cinco de Mayo too! (I have a picture of it but my computer crashed, so you'll have to believe me when I say it's a pretty cool scarf. On the DH's laptop, and downloading 1052 pictures to find one isn't making him smile.)
Last year, I published Santa Dear, a tale about a little boy who doubts Santa's existence and the two adults who try to restore his belief. I fell in love with the small town of Cloverdale and wanted to set another story nearby. Holly and Ivey is set in adjacent Stilton, et voila! A series is born.
Sarah asked me about research, and as always, there are things I don't know that I have to learn. Too many to mention, so I'll pare down the list. One of the most obvious is Christmas tree farming, as well as the attached fruit orchard business, which is the hero's livelihood. I know more than I could put in a book, which is exactly as it should be, in my opinion. A writer should research until she could do the job and then just add snippets for interest and authenticity. I know a bit about the area where my fictional towns are set from researching for Santa Dear. I researched Holly's job as assistant marketing director then wound up not using it. I researched places to eat in Chicago near the landmark Palmer House Hotel, then decided no one really cared where Holly ate. I even checked with my kids on a quote I used from one of their favorite movies, Sandlot.
Most of what I write flows out of my fingers to the keys. I find out what's happening as it appears on my screen. Which is enchanting and spooky at the same time. I love when the story is working, but if the characters stop telling me what to write, I struggle. That means somewhere along the path, I lost them. I have to write my way back to where they're happy and will cooperate. Then I usually scrap the stuff where they wouldn't talk to me. Fortunately, they're pretty willing to take me along for the whole ride. I research as I go, since I don't know what I need to learn until I get to a place in the story where I don't know whatever it is. I'm sure that makes zero sense to non-writers and those who plot. I'm a flier—I fly into the mist, trusting my navigation (writing skills and characters) to deliver me safe at my destination, a place called The End. It's fun and hard and wonderful and awful. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Holly MacDonald rushes to her hometown to prevent her friend from marrying an unfaithful groom. Her old buddy, Luke Ivey, is the best man who intends to stop her interference. She's no longer his tomboy pal, and he's no longer her nerdy sidekick. They're attracted to each other, despite their different views on the wedding and their living four hours apart. But he's tied to the land and she's tied to the coorperate ladder in Chicago.

40% of army recruits have reading age of 11 or less
I find this quite sad.
but 100% of them are Heroes
so it doesn't matter right?
- GayGuevara this'd this
- GayGuevara, japes, Jordan_229_2, valenci, Pharyngeal, deadonthestairs, Body_In_The_Thames, twentynine, gonad, badmanreturns, chickenbones, and Cementimental this'd this
Around 5 per cent, or 1.7 million adults in England, have literacy levels below those expected of an 11-year-old.
looks more like 16%
Around 16 per cent, or 5.2 million adults in England, can be described as "functionally illiterate". They would not pass an English GCSE and have literacy levels at or below those expected of an 11-year-old
you only have to watch the army adverts on the TV
to know exactly who they - as an institution - are shamelessly and deliberately aiming to exploit.
- mute-branches this'd this
I knew of two people from school who joined the army
I can quite easily believe that 50% of my sample didn't have a reading age of 11 :/
One of them joined the army because there was a proud family tradition of joining up.
The other joined the army because they didn't really have any other choices in life.
well I think that it is well known that a higher percentage of less literate/academic types enter
the ranks, in almost all countries, this is by no means a rule and is just a generalisation, but it is well well known, so why is this news or remarkable in any way? Is it because the general public are less perceptive than your average 11 year old?
PS what is the % of mail readers who are illiterate cw say the guardian (remember exactitude in spelling or grammar is not to be taken into account here)
If they're "readers"
they're probably not illiterate.lovelessrapture this'd this
I do apologise for taking the short cut of using illiterate as an impromptu turn of phrase
within the context of this thread, which has set out an agenda of relative literacy.
I did of course mean relatively illiterate compared with others, rather than an absolute position.
'Illiterate' is indeed often used as a relative term.
You may have noticed in my posts today, a refreshing brevity, a brevity that you are now causing me to reconsider. Perhaps other disers would like to reflect that any return to verbosity may, in part, be down to the malign influence of raanraals,
- halfagiraffe, andyvine, and japes this'd this
More concerned with the 28% who are under 18
Can't smoke, can't drink, can't appear in porn, but can be sent off to kill / be killed
more importantly
can't vote and therefore have a say in whether or not they get sent to war
actually even if you are over 18 you cant vote on whether you get sent to war either
e.g. many people would have thought voting for left of the tory pasry might result in a less aggressive response to foreign issues, but this does not translate into anything practical.
Tony Blair showed he was up to 'it'
- fidel_catstro this'd this
I'm not sure I trust that figure
How do we know they're not innumerate too?
I don't mean to sound a knob here
But does this even matter? I can't see how not having beyond primary school reading skills is going to cause you problems if you're in the infantry. I mean, the job skills don't really involve being able or required to use a lot of literary skills? Bit of a disclaimer, know fuck all about the army and the kind of day to day tasks your job would involve in pretty much every armed forces field, just asking why people are worried about the news story and if there's other points I haven't realised? I get the point about the army choosing people with no other life options than get drafted up though. But even then, you can always try to motivate people and give them a chance to do some further studies or whatever. The cynic in me probably thinks the MOD wouldn't bother to spend their money on that coz they're dicks, but it's an idea anyway.
I guess part of the problem is that it might seem like we're rounding up a particular segment of society and shipping them off to die
and this segment is less likely to have any other option available to them.
Rounding up
makes it sound like conscription.
I did say 'might seem'
but I'm not sure conscription is necessarily so far wide of the mark.
Yeah, this part does worry me
that it's not a fair proportion of society and just the people from disadvantaged backrounds have to do the all the dirty work in essence. But then, the only way you could change that is a conscription :s So bit of a tough one.
Still, how many people have died in afghanistan and iraq combined? Only about a 1000 or so right? Bit of a crap way to kill off a part of society you don't like.
I don't think it's willful killing off of a particular part of society
I think it's just symptomatic of the mindless and compassionless way in which the powerful treat the powerless
I wasn't being overly serious with that point
But it's a pretty ineffective way of getting rid of a chunk of society really? Not saying it's right or anything, I'd be the first person to tell you both wars were unjustified and a waste of life. But that wasn't the topic.
I do completely agreed about the ruling elite choosing to send the powerless, or less powerful anyway to do things they'd never be willing to do. But that's how life is I guess. It's not like we're all standing up and fighting against it.
ok, retracted :)
you are right though, it's not like I'm down the recruiting office of a lunchtime offering remedial literacy lessons to potential squaddies, I'm just posting about it on an internet message board. I guess that means I can say to myself I've not completely given up caring and so salves my conscience enough that I feel justified mouthing off about it :(
MoD recruits illiterate persons for fighting today.
MPs recruit learning disability persons for fucking tomorrow.

Natsu Dragneel vs. Ultear Milkovich is a fight fought between Fairy Tail Mage Natsu Dragneel and Grimoire Heart Dark Mage Ultear Milkovich.
After Wendy heals Natsu's injuries from his encounter with Zeref and his fight against Zancrow, Natsu picks up someone's scent. He remembers that that is the smell of the guy he fought on Galuna Island and goes after him.[1]
Natsu and Happy are running after Zalty, and Natsu slips on a leaf and falls down a hill. Down there, he encounters Zeref, who is unconscious because of his fight against Ultear. The ground starts shaking and a tree grows right in front of Natsu. Ultear appears on top of the tree and explains that there was a little sprout there and she just led it to the future. Natsu says that he can smell that she is the guy from Galuna Island, she says that this is her true form and introduces herself as the leader of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, Ultear Milkovich.[2]
Ultear asks Natsu if he is also after Zeref, and Natsu and Happy are surprised to find out that that guy was Zeref. Ultear says that she is not going to let him have him, but Natsu says that he doesn't need him, he hurt his friends and he is never going to forgive them. Ultear says that now it is time for her to return what she owes him, takes out her Orb, and says that this time she is serious.[3]
Natsu starts climbing a tree, telling Ultear that if they hadn't shown up he would have been an S-Class Mage now. Ultear asks him if that's his future and sends her Orb towards Natsu. Natsu dodges it, but Ultear uses Parallel Worlds, explains it and then attacks Natsu with Flash Forward. Natsu falls, Happy screams Natsu's name and Ultear says that the fun has just begun.[4]
Natsu kicks Kain Hikaru, who appears in front of him and tells him to get out of the way. Natsu meets with Lucy, whom he just saved, and tells her not to steal his opponent, but Ultear and Kain have also met with each other. Since now they have a new opponent, Natsu decides that they should team up like old times to take them out together.[5]
They are about to start fighting, but Kain tells Ultear that he can take of them by himself. Natsu is unhappy about this, but Lucy says that they should be thanking them. Ultear agrees to Kain's request and says that she will take Zeref to master Hades and leaves. Natsu says that he won't let her get away, but Kain gets in his way and the fight begins.[6]

endorsement for president, with explanationPosted: October 31, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: obama, supreme court 1 Comment
I hate election year. I hate watching everyone get hyped up over bullshit when they should be paying attention to real shit all the time. I actually don't hate how much everyone fights, but I hate it in contrast with the "oh it's okay it's just politics" huggy shit that goes afterward when people decide it's okay to hang out with people who don't care about other people's civil rights or the environment or whatever. I hate the fights on the left between the democrats and those of us who are further left, and the vote strategizing, and the arguments about who's obligated to do what. I hate the fights on the right because it reminds me yet again how horrible everyone is and that "I hate women and homos, let's kill" is still a viable campaign strategy.
Most of all, I hate the total lack of options and the shitty candidates and their fakeass smiles and willingness to do horrible stuff to us all.
I am cynical about the presidential race in any year. My former veterinarian put it best when I walked in with my old lady cat Samantha many years ago when she said, "So, which millionaire do you like for president?"
Generally I think that's a good assessment: the candidates are two rich asshole straight guys with horrible foreign policy ideas and no concern for what most of us go through every day. However, in a system where there are effectively two choices and the electoral college standing in the way of a real popular vote, I am very practical minded about this because I live in a swing state and because I ultimately am only hopeful about one issue:
Which asshole millionaire is going to appoint better judges to the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary?
Ginsburg, Breyer, Scalia, and Kennedy are all in their 70s. Ginsburg has gone two rounds with cancer, and last time it was in her pancreas. The next president will appoint probably at least two Justices, and it could be more – it could easily be all four of them, and any of the others could have a health event at any time or simply decide to retire. Obama has given us Kagan and Sotomayor, who I think are okay. Romney will go for conservative ideologues in the mold of Scalia and Alito. Scalia writes opinions where he talks about the homosexual agenda, and Alito is a fascist who okayed a strip search on a ten year old. Right now, we have four good Justices and sometimes Kennedy is reasonable but you can't count on him.
Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and Roberts would be happy to overturn Roe v. Wade, and that would be the first of many liberties to go as we head right back into the Lochner era. They just need a fifth vote, and Romney would be happy to give it to them.
I do not have a high opinion of Obama, but I live in a swing state and I've already lived under Romney's shitty governance and don't want any more of it, not least because I think he's a sociopath. I'm not going to dis anyone whose conscience does not allow them to vote for Obama and will in fact continue to defend this position as I think voting your conscience is awesome and even when you vote for Elvis that's absolutely your right as an American. But for me, I fear a court of Alitos like I fear little else.

Three o'clock this morning I had a Moose on my head demanding breakfast. Not just any moose, my Moose. An almost 18 lb white furry feline Moose. He paced back and forth kneaded the pillows and made that little meooow that he makes. Not a manly MEOW, but a little squeaky noise that in cat circles would probably be considered embarrassing.
Lucky for him, he is an indoor cat. No chance for all the other cats to make fun of him. That's Moose on the left. He's a big mellow guy, except at meal time, or when he perceives it to be such. Then he becomes "king" and very demanding of his human servant, me.
He's not always bold and insistent though.
Some of his time is spent in quiet solitude reflecting on his status in the mostly female household. Or maybe this is just his way of getting away from…

This past weekend was filled with multiple shopping sprees on Saturday and Sunday. I couldn't believe the vintage that was out there that no one snatched up. It was glorious. Now that's a word I haven't used in a while. Glorious. I usually use it when I'm dead set on something being utterly effing fantastic. Okay. Okay. Let's get back on track with my shopping spree from the weekend. Surprisingly, I didn't spend as much as I probably would have. It's all about knowing how to wheel and deal. Bartering with people. They want to get rid of it and you want it. So, use your powers of persuasion and snatch it up already.
|Newest additions to my jewelry stash.
|Some of the loot from the weekend.
Moving on...I also picked up a metal money box for the upcoming San Diego Vintage Swap Meet (that Derek and I are hosting), it still had the key attached. Now, if it only came with a wad of money inside, life would be grand. But it didn't. Que sera sera. I suppose. I also picked up quite a few vintage clipon earrings, as you may or may not have read, I can't wear earrings anymore since I stretched out my lobes way beyond repair. I've oner indulged in clipons. I'm beginning to become obsessed with them, inquiring almost 10 pairs over the weekend. But that's because on Sunday, Derek and I gave ourselves an allotted amount of money and did a late morning at the swapmeet. There, someone was selling vintage clipons, brotches, hat pins, necklaces, braclets all for a $1 each. I believe I cleaned them out. Mostly the ladies there were looking for what looked new and acceptable to todays standards. I did the opposite.
|Sunday at the swap meet.
While at the swapmeet, we found another guy selling a set of 4 1950's latte cups with a pink juice crafe and 2 pink creamer containers made by the Hazel Atlas Glass Co. Along with a 1960's starburst coffee crafe. Derek found a Coco Joe's tiki keychain that he HAD to have. I figured it was a buck, he deserved it. I also picked up 2 vintage ashtrays. Now, before you go assuming; no, neither one of us smoke. I started collecting vintage ashtrays a little while ago, because they're sexy looking. Yes, you read me right. I said sexy looking. And have you ever seen one? If not, google vintage ashtrays online. You'll agree. We've resorted to using one that came broken in transit as a wine cork catcher. The others are just laying around in different spots in the house collecting dust. But I refuse to get rid of any of them. They're too sexy to look at. Sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxy.
Well, the weekend was a great one for vintage shopping. I hope you all found some good buys like I did. And if you did, show them off. I'd love to see them.
Until next time, lovelies.
Miss Hell

text: Hello, In the last few weeks I've gone back on amitritpyline (10mg) to help with sleep and clenching jaw. My fibromyaligia (I think) symptoms have got steadily worse - stiff achy muscles esp on waking - clicky neck and stiff shoulders arms - heaviness in muscles etc. Can amitriptyline suppress thyroid function? These are symptoms that all improved greatly when I switched from levothyroxine to ERFA thyroid (NDT) I take 60 mg ERFA thyroid in the mornings. In the past I've only taken 5mg amitriptyline but it didn't keep me asleep properly so 10mg is the most I've ever taken daily. Seeing GP tomorrow to discuss. Thoughts welcome!

Pool Landscaping Will Require Significant ThoughtSaturday, October 25th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed
Coming up with ideas for pool landscaping will require a little thought as there're many considerations in plant choices. Whether your pool is above ground or in the ground will make a difference in the types of plants you choose and the possibility of their exposure to chemically treated water will also help choosing the right pool landscaping easier.
For in the ground pools, shrubs and trees should avoided if planting in close proximity as the growing roots can cause problems later when they begin to grow into the pool's foundation.
Since most in the ground pools will be surrounded by a privacy and safety fence, plants can be chosen for the perimeter as well as in any open areas inside the fence. For inside pool landscaping, plants should be non-deciduous, meaning they will not lose their leaves every year, which will often accumulate in the water. Even evergreen shrubs run the risk of needles blowing in to the water during stormy weather and clogging the pool's filtering system.
All plants placed near the pool should be low blooming varieties and most often the simpler the better. Many annual plants will wither and die if exposed to water from the pool, especially those pools treated with chlorine. Keeping the pool landscaping simple for inside the fence is the best plan as they're also easier to care for. Creeping plants can help cover any open ground around the pool, but you'll have to keep it trimmed to prevent it from taking over the entire area.
Protect Your Pool From External Forces
Outside the fence allows more flexibility in the choice of plants, but remember the more flowers and plants you put in, the more work you'll have to maintain them, detracting from the time available for using the pool. When choosing pool landscaping for around the pool's fence, the plants shouldn't grow higher than the fence as their leaves will end up on the water before the summer is over.
Small grouping of low flowers, with a good deal of open space between them can add a neat look to your pool landscaping and still provide a splash of color around the fence. An occasional shrub strategically placed around the fence's exterior can contribute to the apparent height of the fence but, again, should not be allowed to grow over the fence.
Another consideration for pool landscaping is the type of flower that may attract flying pests. Many flowers are attractive to honey bees and other flying insects that can interrupt your enjoyment of the pool.

I can't tell which it is from one day to the next.
Their commitment to the Obama-McChrystal
So once again, I retreat, saving my time and effort by resorting to the words of others. Today. I am reproducing the voice of one of greatest contemporary authorities on Western and Central Asia - that I read anyways.
Juan Cole is Professor of History at the University of Michigan, author of several books on Islam and politics. He is most renown on the Internet for his blog, Informed Comment.
Today he posted his review of President Obama's latest rant about terrorism in which Cole laments the Administration's retreat into buying off on the Cheneysque mythology of a American-led Global War on Terror (GWOT). Here are the concluding paragraphs of his Obama: The Age of the War on Al-Qaeda, which I trust will prove worthy of my readers' consideration:
Obama most unfortunately has allowed the right wing to maneuver him in to reviving the use of the word 'war,' and he is now talking about a 'war on al-Qaeda.' It is not a war, and cannot be fought like a war, and the word is just as misleading now as it was in the Bush-Cheney era. It is a counter-terrorism struggle. Highlighting al-Qaeda, moreover, gives Bin Laden what he always wanted, to parlay a few thousand cranks with weapons training into the central preoccupation of a superpower. Why not say, for our democracy to flourish, we must do good counter-terrorism? Wars imply a Pentagon role, and military action alone is more likely to provoke terrorism than to end it. In fact, if Bush had not invaded Iraq, al-Qaeda might well have died off by now.I would love to be on Obama's Presidential bus as much as I enjoyed being on his Campaign bus. But I'm not getting back aboard until Barry changes out the route, the bumpersticker, and the driver(s). Until that happens, I'd rather walk.
Obama again talked about winning hearts and minds for the US in the Muslim world. But as the case of the Palestinian/Jordanian double agent, Humam al-Balawi, who detonated a suicide bomb at Forward Operating Base Campbell in Afghanistan showed, as long as the US backs Israeli encroachments on Palestinian land and Israeli attacks on and sieges of Palestinians, winning hearts and minds is complicated and in many cases impossible. The American right wing keeps repeating the stupid mantra that extremists and militants are 'evil' or 'hate us for who we are.' Maybe some are obsessed like that. But most do cite specific policies that enrage them, like the invasion of Iraq or the gradual ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. Vigilante violence is always wrong*, and their grievances give them no warrant to harm innocents (which is evil). But if winning hearts and minds is the issue, then US policy in the Middle East is an impediment. The large US footprint Obama is creating in Afghanistan has the potential to be another such obstacle.
A viable Palestinian state, a US withdrawal from Iraq, and an end to the Afghanistan war would do more to drain the swamp of al-Qaeda collectively than all the intelligence reviews and reorganizations in the world.

"WOW!!" For the first time ever, the legendary HAWK Offense is explained in detail on a coaching video or video. Originally a standard NBA offense, the past two decades have seen HAWK migrate to the college and high school levels despite the scarcity of information on it. Hall Of Fame coach Hubie Brown created the offense in the 1970's while coaching in the ABA, but it quickly became known as HAWK when it became the base scheme of the Atlanta Hawks. Designed to be used against both man and zone defenses, HAWK offers a variety of options and actions to take advantage of strong post players and great shooters. With a basic action and alignment that makes the HAWK easy to install and teach at any level, the addition of pick and roll plays, isolation actions, post plays, and alternate entries makes the HAWK a powerful offense that is hard to scout and defend.
