Yeesh, I have to wait until the ambiguous 'sometime' in 2011? I'm crashing that grand opening party... The best $100 I may have ever spent was spent at the H&M in New York City (5th Ave). I still regularly wear every piece I bought from there in early 2008. I think I speak for everyone when I say, H&M is a goldmine.
Fashion trivia : what does H&M stand for?
Answer : it is a Swedish retailer, Hennes & Mauritz.
All the good stuff is from Sweden! IKEA, H&M, the Swedish Chef from Sesame Street, disco band ABBA, Pippi Longstockings... Absolut Vodka...
Last night in New York was the Lanvin for H&M Couture show... it looked bananas. No serious modeling or stuffy show; only frollic and fun, as it should be with this type of show. Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz said that they re-worked and re-vamped many of the haute couture garments that Lanvin designed for H&M. Then they created this show wherein the outfits will be auctioned (up now through Nov 26th) and all the proceeds will go to UNICEF's All For Children initiative.
Because it just happened last night, there aren't a whole lot of photos floating around yet. But I managed to snag some images from the InStyle runway video (which is why they're so blurry). Check it out:
I think I found my birthday dress...
Teehee... 'Miss Lanvin'
There's that signature Lanvin leopard print.
A puppy!
(Fun fact: back in art school - cerca 2006? - I did a huge screenprint piece of a model walking a Great Dane like mine down the runway)
Yes! Love the red. Gotta get me one of those may-ja tutu dresses.
I wish all my Jellies a glorious weekend. Usually I don't get the chance to blog on weekends, but this weekend I will be doing a few paintings. So I'll be sure to post photos. Geez, posting this holds me accountable, doesn't it. Now I have to paint... Au revoir mon amis!

It doesn't. Dynamically changing the BPF filter is too expensive as
it would need to be recompiled every time (and the filter would
quickly get huge).
If you want Bro to analyze the content of ftp-data sessions, you
need to manually override the pcap filter to include all packets,
e.g., by running with "-f tcp".

Redunculious is a combination of redundant and ridiculious, when you put them together this is my creation. Redundant because of the repeatativeness; ridiculious because of the repeativeness.
All of the girls tell me that they love the way that i climb rocks, all of them tell me how bad they want me; it's cool that they do this though at times it can be pretty redunculious

We thought we'd take a moment and look at a few of the newest theme reviews to join the WPHub family. First on our hit list is Allegro, a theme from ColorLabs that will run you $49. Allegro was released in August 2011 and is ideal for use on a personal or business blog site.
Allegro is 100% responsive, which means users can view it with minimal hassle on mobile devices no matter what their screen resolution or device orientation is. It has a pair of gallery page templates for displaying your images on the Web. You'll find a full preview, complete with a variety of screen shots, right here on WPHub.
Also new on WPHub is a review of Minimalia, which was created by MyThemeShop. This theme comes with a $35 price tag and, according to our review, Minimalia is, as its name suggests, "a minimalistic WordPress theme designed to make viewing of your blog's content a cinch from the front-end perspective. This fully responsive premium download comes with a full shortcodes collection, limitless color schemes, custom typography, and 10 custom widgets."
Minimalia has a built-in SEO tool and an uncomplicated layout that includes a preview image, post title, teaser text, byline, and number of comments. If you're in the market for one of the most straightforward WordPress themes out there, Minimalia is for you. And the fact that there is no limit to the number of color schemes you can choose from means you can customize Minimalia to your heart's content.
Another unique WordPress theme we've reviewed in recent days here on WPHub is Directory by ColorLabs. Directory will set you back $49 and is an excellent way to showcase your products or services online. It's perfectly suited for classified ads and allows users to submit their own ads via an easy-to-use interface.
Directory comes complete with a "Featured Ad" section to help you promote your most important products and services. There's also a "Latest Submit" section that is designed to encourage "your returning submitters to continue to post their ads in order to gain access to this highly-viewed area," as our review of Directory reads. Directory even has a responsive blog to boot.
If you're in the market for a new home, then you'll be begging to stumble across a website with EstateExpert from ColorLabs installed on it. This nifty WordPress theme is 100% responsive and is designed specifically for real estate websites. Perhaps the coolest feature in EstateExpert is a "Property Search," a widget you can place on the home page that allows visitors to filter your listings by price, type, location, and feature.
A special "Latest Properties" section of EstateExpert displays a home's square footage, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, asking price, address, title, and a short description. You can even designate certain properties as "Feature Properties" and upload photos and videos to give would-be buyers a taste of what they can expect.
Finally, if you're a fan of structured layouts, then you'll love Lucid, which costs $39. As our theme review narrates, Lucid "is a fully responsive premium product specifically designed for magazine websites.

NWZ-A860 Service Manual
Hey everyone, here is the NWZ-A86x service manual. You should be able to enter the service menu to remove any volume caps but at your own risk. Although there is no guarantee that the cap will be removed. The key combination seems to be different from the original set back from 2012. Thanks to Robert for bringing this to my attention.
I have tried this on my E570 but it does not seem to enter the service menu, so if anyone gets it to work, please leave a comment here. More instructions what to do once you enter the service menu after the break.

The Barbados Water Authority has started another phase of work to try and solve problems with the South Coast sewage system.
The strategy, explained to members of the media, is designed to ease pressure off the South Coast by re-routing some sewage to Bridgetown.
Barbados Water Authority's general manager, Keithroy Halliday took possession of the first of two 5.5 tonne excavators, one of which is being used at Bay Street, just outside the old offices of the Government Information Service.
Mr Halliday explains the intention is to join the Bridgetown and South Coast sewage networks.
Mr Halliday acknowledges the Bridgetown system has its own challenges and says engineers will pay special attention how they bring that into use and can reverse the process if necessary.
The BWA general manager also gave an update on the dye tests being done on the south coast system.
He says the first round confirmed what the BWA already knew - that the line was blocked.
Mr Halliday says the next step is to get the bypass up and running so that engineers can access and clear the blockage.
Then they will have to fix the influent line before turning their attention to the effluent line.
He preferred not to put timelines to the work, but gave the assurance that both businesses and residents will be kept up to date at every stage.

A work by Bill Donahue of Hidden Meanings
Carl Jung said:
Mainstream religion will never admit how true Mr. Jung's statement is, yet it's true.
People spend their lives trying not to let people know where there going, what their doing, everybody hiding out from everybody else.
Mr. Jung's comments are not about the bible, there not about god, there not about reality, there about religion.
Which is a structure built upon the need to control the beliefs of others, and that's the problem.
In a group or organization that mandates that you think the way that they do, and if you don't, you have to subvert the way you think.
These controllers, as I would call them, they set up living standards, based upon the way that they interpret writings that are thousands of years old, that contain legends, traditions and mythology, yet are not necessarily true in any real sense of the imagination.
They take these things and say this is what it means, and you MUST believe it. They drive into the minds of their members the fear, that if they don't obey their instructions, they will fall into a fiery pit of hell, dominated by demons chasing you with pitchforks.
It's extremely destructive to the human mind, people have to live under such fear and guilt, and that's what happens, and it's not just Christianity, it's Jewish, Muslim and every major religion.
Everybody is afraid to do something because of fear, or else they lash out and kill others, because of their own fear instilled in them by religion, they are afraid they offend the group.
So they show up on Sunday and play their part, even put a suit and a tie on, how do you do pastor, I'm fine, how are you, I'm fine blah blah blah, and then they can't wait to get out of there, how long is this gonna go on?
All one has to do to evaluate religion, is go back to the dark ages of Europe, what happened at that time is what the Christian right would like to see happen today, and that is that Christianity became the Gov't.
The only time that Christianity became the Govt, it's labeled the DARK ages.
Intellectuals and scientists were either killed, banned IT out on the rack, Galileo and Copernicus came under house arrest, Bruno was burned at the stake for his scientific discoveries, they became a threat to religion because they told the truth about nature.
People were tortured to death during the inquisition, and women who were spiritual were labeled witches and were tortured, hung and burned.
That's what happens when religion becomes the Gov't, it was a horrible time, but it laid the foundation as to religion survives, by, as Carl Jung said, causing people to live in fear, in the dark ages they lived in fear of the religious gov't.
And it still exists in many parts of the world today, it is starting to rise up, even in the U.S.
But mainly the religions mainly control their followers by what?
One word, there's one word that stands out, and you know you even use it, you tell people to go there, and it's called...........
It scares you, it really does, and the concept is, if you don't be good, and if you don't behave the way we say, that's where you're gonna go.
Right out of the dark ages, but ya know what, it still works today.
Roosevelt said: we have nothing to fear, but fear itself, and that's exactly what Carl Jung was saying, but that's what religion is all about, you mustn't live in constant love, not in relaxation, not in tune with nature, not in communication with others, having fun and laughing, enjoying yourself, you can't do that.
And all of this nonsense comes from a total misrepresentation of the bible, believing that it is a LITERAL book, when in fact it is not a LITERAL book at all, but Greek mythology.
If people understood the bible, and really read it, you know what they would find out about hell, that it's not any place you go after you die, it's a place you go when you're alive and kicking.
And many of you live there all the time.
Lets look at a few scriptures.
Proverbs 15:24, the way of life is ABOVE to the WISE, that he may depart from hell beneath.
Can you imagine that, you can escape hell according to the bible.
That's because it's a state of consciousness, it's referring to the higher mind ABOVE, overcoming the emotional body, described as below. The higher mind, the higher thoughts free us from the fear of the lower nature.
You've always been taught that when you go to hell, they chase you with pitchforks, bit that's not what the bible says, they made that up to scare people.
28 samuel 22:6 The sorrows of hell surround me.
This guy is alive, see!!
Do you see that, this guy is saying that the sorrows of hell surround him, and he's obviously alive, and not dead, do you see that it's not any place you go when you die physically.
In other words aye yai eye already, what's ging on, I don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out. Why did religion miss this?, ok did they do it on purpose.
Psalm 86:13 For great is your mercy towards me; you took my soul from the lowest hell.
Do you see?
He's alive, and yet his soul was in hell.
You can think of tragedies that people have experienced, think of the people in Iraq and the living hell that we have created for them.
Jonah 2:2.1 I cried to the lord because of my trouble, and he heard me, out of the belly of hell I cried, and you heard my voice.
So! do you see what I'm saying these are all biblical scriptures, and as you can see that you are taught that people go to hell when they die, and it's not true.
It's a place that you occupy while you're alive, and many of you have experienced this psychological place called hell, and you know it exists right here on this planet.
But you can leave there, Proverbs 15:24, the way of life is ABOVE to the WISE, that he may depart from hell beneath.
Which means that when you dwell in your meditation, you're taken into the higher realms of the mind, you then depart from the hell of the lower material mind.
So hell is a concept of the mind, as all things are a concept of the mind, the concepts of the mind that create material things in the physical reality, as you are reading this you are sitting in a chair, and at one time that chair was just an idea is somebodies mind, it didn't even exist in the physical form, and then he drew a picture in his mind and there it is.
Everything is created out of the mind and that includes heaven and hell.
Look at the thoughts of the people that flew planes into the world trade center, they created hell.
Look at the thoughts of all the men of this planet that have used their lower minds to create a living hell for some country or tribe somewhere on this planet.
The mind creates these conditions, plane and simple.
I think, therefore I create hell, I think therefore I create heaven, it all depends upon yours and theirs thinking, what is the nature of the thoughts in yours or their minds?
So what does it mean?
Our kindness can bring heaven, or our violence and cruel thinking can bring hell. It's a simply a construct of the MIND.
But where did the concept and the word hell come from, what are it's origins?
The answer will surprise you!!!!
HEL: Goddess of the Inglorious Dead and Queen of HELHEIM, the Norse Underworld
Having been banished to the Underworld by order of ODIN merely for being the ugly evil daughter of LOKI she made the place her own and became HEL of the HELHEIM Hell Hall. Which tends to become hellishly confusing.
Yes, her name gives us the word 'Hell', but her domain is almost the complete opposite of Satan's abode: it's cold, damp, and populated by the kind of apathetic souls most devils would hardly feel worth the trouble of roasting. In fact most souls go to HELHEIM because they've spent their lives sitting on their asses instead of killing, pillaging and then singing rude songs about it.
It's a melancholy and depressing place filled with gloomy pessimistic spirits. Which is why HEL is also Goddess of the Blues. Half her body is blue and the words associated with her say it all: dank, clouds, hunger, tardy feet, splendid misery...
Plus authoress of 'Nine Ways Out Of This World' and singer of jazz classic 'Oh Baby, Trouble in Mind' on the Doom and Gloom label, also known as 'What the Hel we gonna do now?'
Hel was a goddess (or a monster), a daughter of Loki and Angrboda, who ruled over Niflheim, which was the land of the dead. There were different opinions of whether she was alive or dead. Ull, in his role as god of winter, was supposed to spend a few months each year as Hel's lover. Hel and her ghostly army were going to support the other gods at Ragnarok, after which her domain would go out in flames.
Another image of Hel
(Queen of Hel, the Norse underworld.)
What you have to understand is the meaning of the word underworld, which doesn't mean beneath the earth, or any such nonsense, it is actually beneath your heart chakra, the tan tien or hara, the solar plexus, this is where HEL is, and she's waiting all the tome, to unleash her fire.
Remember the word Hel or Hell is an English word, it's a translation from the original Greek Septuagint, here's the amazing part, in the entire bible, both the old testament and the new, the word hell doesn't exist, it's not in there.
What is in there is a word (hell) that the English translators translated out of the Greek into Hebrew.
In other words the word hell was concocted by English translators.
There are only two words in the bible that reference the lower mind.
Sheol, which is Hebrew
Gahnna which is Greek
Those are the two words. You can translate them anyway you want, once you find out what they mean, but the translators of the King James bible translated them to mean hell.
Lets take a look at this word Sheol, in Hebrew is the "abode of the dead", "the underworld" "the common grave of humankind", "a common destination of both the righteous and unrighteous dead"
as recounted in Ecclesiastes and Job.
"Sheol; Sometimes compared to Hades" "the gloomy, twilight afterlife of greek mythology"
"The word Hades was in fact substituted for the word Sheol"
"When the Hebrew scriptures were translated into Greek (the Septuagint) , "the new testament (written in Greek) also uses "Hades" to refer to the abode of the dead.
It's not the literal dead these things refer to, but the living dead.
So how did that evolve to a fiery hell with demons chasing you with pitchforks and all that stuff?
AS you can see Sheol has nothing to do with the word hell, that we English people made up.
Note that is is a common destination for both good people and bad people.
Now lets look at the Greek wor Gahenna.
"From Greek geenna, and from hebrew ge- hinnom
Literally Hinnom that's where the word ge or ga-henna came from.
The valley of Hinnom a place or state of misery, (2) hell.
That's from the dictionary.
There's a literal valley in Israel called hinnom and amazing thing that you now learn is that is where the word hell actually came from.
I'm going to show you how the Jews scared the pants off people with the hidden meaning of the word valley of hinnom.
I'm going to show you how hinno turned into gehenna, and this turned into a place a of fire and demons and pitchforks and all that jazz.
Ge-henna is derived from the valley of hinnom, and get this, this valley is ouside the south wall of ancient Jerusalem.
HINNOM was the burning garbage dump, near Jerusalem, known as the (Hinnom gulch).
Now all that you have read is absolutely true, so help me god.
Hinnom is the garbage dump where they burn the garbage, and has been the garbage dump since ancient time.
So in other words the church decided, these people are garbage and there gonna go to hell, which is the garbage dump outside Jerusalem.
It's like taking your garbage to your nearest dump, it's has the same meaning.
But that's what hell is, it's a friggin garbage dump outside of Jerusalem, and it's always smoking, there's always garbage being burned there.
The word hell has it's roots in the word Hinnom, which is a garbage dump outside if Jerusalem where they burn the garbage.
Now that word (hell) that religion has used to scare the hell out of people, for hundreds and hundreds of years is goddamn garbage dump, where the garbage was burned.
Now for the first time, you have never seen an actual picture of hell before, but now here it is.............
This is not a joke.
Your religion at work, you have been duped into thinking that hell was a place beneath the earth, when in fact it is outside of Jerusalem.
valley of Hinnom, hell if you don't believe me, google the words
"valley of Hinnom hell" or dump
Although the Greek word Gehenna is translated "hell" in this and other passages (Matt. 23:33, Mark 9:43, etc.), its literal meaning is valley of Hinnom (Strong's Concordance Number #G1067).
The valley of Hinnom is a deep, narrow ravine on the south end of Jerusalem. Anciently, it was in this valley that idolatrous Israelites worshiped the pagan gods Moloch and Baal through the abominable sacrificial practice of burning their own children alive (known as "passing through the fire". See 2Kings 16:3, 23:10; 2Chr. 28:3, Jeremiah 7:31).
After the return of the Jews from captivity, the valley was held in such abhorrence that it was made the place to throw all the dead carcasses and filth of the city, and was frequently the place of public executions.
The valley, therefore, became extremely offensive; the sight was terrific; the air polluted with the foul spell of putrefying animal and human flesh; and to preserve it in any manner pure, it was necessary to keep fires continually burning there (also known as using unquenched or unquenchable fire).
Jesus used the well-known fires in the valley of Hinnom as an analogy of the fire ("lake of fire") to be used by God to kill forever (the punishment of the incorrigibly wicked is eternal death, not eternal torture) those who refuse to repent of hatred, anger and other sins.
Some commentaries have suggested that Judas, after he betrayed Jesus, used a tree near a precipice over the valley of Hinnom from which to hang himself.
Scriptural References: Matthew 5 (KJV Bible)
A photo of hell since the Jews cleaned it up.
2 Chronicles 28:1-3 (NIV) Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. Unlike David his father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD. 2 He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and also made cast idols for worshiping the Baals.
3 He burned sacrifices in the Valley of Ben Hinnom and sacrificed his sons in the fire, following the detestable ways of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
2 Chronicles 33:1-6 (NIV) Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. 2 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, following the detestable practices of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
3 He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had demolished; he also erected altars to the Baals and made Asherah poles. He bowed down to all the starry hosts and worshiped them. 4 He built altars in the temple of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, "My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever."
5 In both courts of the temple of the LORD, he built altars to all the starry hosts. 6 He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced sorcery, divination and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the LORD, provoking him to anger.
Jeremiah 32:32-35 (NIV) The people of Israel and Judah have provoked me by all the evil they have done they, their kings and officials, their priests and prophets, the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem. 33 They turned their backs to me and not their faces; though I taught them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline.
34 They set up their abominable idols in the house that bears my Name and defiled it. 35 They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molech, though I never commanded, nor did it enter my mind, that they should do such a detestable thing and so make Judah sin.
2 Kings 23:8-10 (NIV) Josiah brought all the priests from the towns of Judah and desecrated the high places, from Geba to Beersheba, where the priests had burned incense. He broke down the shrines at the gates at the entrance to the Gate of Joshua, the city governor, which is on the left of the city gate.
9 Although the priests of the high places did not serve at the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, they ate unleavened bread with their fellow priests. 10 He desecrated Topheth, which was in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, so no one could use it to sacrifice his son or daughter in the fire to Molech.
Jeremiah 7:31-32 (NIV) They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to burn their sons and daughters in the fire something I did not command, nor did it enter my mind. 32 So beware, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when people will no longer call it Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter, for they will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room.
One of the horrors of Hell that you will know for eternity is complete shame and humiliation. You will be forced to exist eternally with the knowledge that you are a complete and utter fool; FOREVER.
The REAL Hell:
Hinnom Valley - Jerusalem
The word hell came from the Norse god Hel of the Norse underworld.
Now you know the truth. makes you glad huh!
It looks like hell, doesn't it
The HINNOM valley, we have been duped again by the Jews.
Your taste and smell senses are closely associated, so you will smell and taste the smoke of burning sulfur, and human flesh. Human flesh has a smell different from all other smells. At the Nazi death camps, the Nazi's sometimes structured their slaughter contingent on the direction of the wind, attempting to drive the smell of the burning flesh towards less populated areas. Some of the burning flesh will be your own.
You will feel the eternal burning of fire, and worms will crawl all over your skin, but the worms die not.
You will hear the screams of the eternally lost, the screams of the devil, the screams of demons, the screams of the tormented, your own screams, the screams of your loved ones, but they will not love you, there will be no love there.
They will hate you. You will not have a single friend, as you will be awash alone with your god - who is you, in a sea of hatred-filled demonic and human spirits.
You will see the heinous awesome, awfulness of hell, and all that's going on; and all that are in it, all those you know who didn't make Heaven, and cruel, grasping, snarling demons, through eyes that are tearing from the dense smoke of burning sulfur and burning human flesh. Human imagination cannot scratch the surface of the horror of hell. You will be in complete and utter torment.
"Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
You have been on religious scare tactics your whole life.
Christs three days in hell
In the original Greek Septuagint, there was no word hell, there was Sheol, and Ganesh
These words translate into underworld, meaning the mind being controlled by the lower ego mind.
The king James translators wanted to emphasize the concept further by adding the word hell.
But where did this word actually come from?
In the Norse mythology there was a terrible goddess, the goddess of the underworld, she was profoundly ugly, and had a skeleton for a body and her face was green.
And her name is HEL, and you can google it and see for yourself.
The bible transcribers borrowed the mythology of this god HEL, and added one more L to the ending, and Hell was born.
And religion has been scaring the hell out of you for thousands of years with the fear of hell.
There's nothing to fear, accept fear itself!
Actually And the lowest rung of the ladder in hell is reserved for them, that believe that if they don't believe in hell, they will go to hell.
When it simply means, a place or state of consciousness, where one has arrived at, by living off of the emotions.
You are either living this in heaven or in hell, and it all depends upon your constitution.
If you are unemployed, and you have an abscessed tooth, and you don' t have any insurance, and you are about to lose your home, and your spouse left you high and dry, and your bank account is empty, and your half a car went south on you, and you came down with a nasty case of tinnitus, in short you don't have a pot to piss in, or a window to throw it out.
Then you just might be living in hell.
If you were raised in a Catholic family, then you just might have been in Hell, if you were raised a Mormon, you might have been in hell.
Who needs another hell beneath the earth, with demons running around with pitchforks chasing you, when you have already been to depths of hell, right here on the surface of this planet.
Sometimes you feel like you are living in hell, and sometimes you feel as though you are in heaven, it's all just a state of being, and nothing more than that.
These two real principles, this body and soul, are apart from each other, tho either one can't exist without the other, this eternal bound, that dependence that they have on each other.
One is Hell, the other is heaven.
One is Egypt, the other is the new Jerusalem. One is Cain, the other is Abel etc, etc. Yin and yang.
The bottomless pit, is the abdomen area, or solar plexus, where your main organs are, this is EGYPT. FORTY
Christ's rod (His spine) [Rev 12:5] shall and will devour all the serpents and lying wonders of the spiritual Egypt and Sodom [Rev 11:8], yea, and all the serpents that be in all nations; for all nations are to be ruled by it.
And the moment you reject life you start looking for some other life and you become worried about whether it is going to be better than this life or not. It may be worse.
That's what hell is: the fear of a worse life than this. And that is nirvana: the greed for a better life than this.
But there is no other life; there is no hell, no heaven.
Only fools are interested in such things. Jagdit Singh
What Indian scriptures say about hell is nothing but talk about America! If right now you dig a hole wherever you are sitting here and go on digging you will reach to America, because the earth is round. But the Americans also think in the same geographical way, that hell is below.
If they look into the hole, you will be in hell. You will think they are in hell and they will think you are in hell. And only my sannyasins will Laugh at the whole affair. Who is above and who is below?
These heaven/hell concepts have nothing to do with geography or space, and they don't have anything to do with time either.
So it is not a question of tomorrows, not a question of something after death.
It is a question of understanding, it is a question of meditation, it is question of becoming utterly silent, here-now. There is no other space than the here and no other time than the now. These two words contain the whole existence: "now", "here".
If they look into the hole, you will be in hell. You will think they are in hell and they will think you are in hell. And only my sannyasins will Laugh at the whole affair. Who is above and who is below?
There you have it!
SYMBOLISM, no need to be scared of that old demon running around with a pitchfork, we will lay that bogie to rest already!
It's MYTHOLOGY, just that they don't want you to know it.
Only stupids and idiots will ever believe in such nonsense as hell, and reading ancient mythology LITERALLY, when the very bible says "Don't be a minister of the letter" Don't read IT literally!
And remember most of the hell verses come from Jesus, and what does it say concerning Jesus?
"In a parable he spake not unto them". In other words, everything he said was a parable, not literal.
And if God said it, we have that covered as well;
Psalm 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: Here the Bible states that GOD speaks in parables . And what are dark sayings of old. Obviously they are symbolic statements.
And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 2 cor.4:3
But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 2 cor. 3:14
It is Veiled to you, because you read the bible literally, oh, I forgot, no you don't, you don't read THE BIBLE, INSTEAD YOU GO TO CHURCH.
Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak in parables? EZ:20
Here God speaks in parables again.
15. 2Cor.4:3,4 "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."
The gospel is hid, because they read it literally.
Thank You! For pointing that out.
No problem, that's my job!
When in a moment of high dudgeon, exasperation or exhausted patience at someone's despicable conduct we cavalierly consign his immortal soul to Dante's Inferno, we should be told that our mode of redress is silly and ridiculous beyond measure, since both he and we are already in that dark and gloomy underworld of theology.
There is no sense in urging a fellow mortal to go to a place when he is already there. The present writer could, with full legal equity, claim an international copyright on the idea, now to be proclaimed for the first time authoritatively, that in plain cold fact, devastating to the canons of theology, but nevertheless irrefutable, that no one can go from this earth to hell, or ever will go there.
This declaration is not thrown out in either scurrility or buffoonery. It is meant to be asserted as literal truth, and, as will be shown, is demonstrated as true by the simplest and most inexpugnable logic. One can not go to a place where one already is. One has to be elsewhere to go to a given place.
And this fact and this logic can now bring to this world release and relief from the most frightful of its theological nightmares over the centuries by shattering forever the baneful religious superstition that a human soul can go to hell.
Because, as better scholarship now clarifies it, all the souls now inhabiting physical bodies on this earth are already in hell.
It can now be heralded to the four quarters of the world that this earth is the only hell ever contemplated in the minds of the sage writers of the ancient sacred Scriptures of the world, and therefore hell is not to be found or located anywhere else.
For better or worse, for good or ill, we are all right now in hell; and it is only a matter of our education, our understanding, our culture or our self-discipline whether we are enjoying what can legitimately and not too irreverently be called a hell of a fine time or making a devil of a bad go at it.
As God the Father never designed that his children should fall into a region where pain and misery are suffered gratuitously or out of relation to purposed beneficence, it has to be presumed that our sojourn in this hell has been contrived in cosmic counsels to bring us joy and eventual bliss. For all religions in their highest and sanest presentments consistently affirm that felicity is to crown earth life.
Hell has been loaded with opprobrium and infamy only because we have been misled to believe it is some other place far worse than this world.
It is now possible, with all good grace, for us to extend to all our fellow inmates in this limbo of a false theology the wish and hope that they are enjoying some felicity without having to wait for transferal to the celestial Paradise.
With metaphor shifted a bit to match another Biblical symbolism, we may heartily wish each other a "whale" of a good time in Hades, since in the Jonah and other "fish-stories" that one finds in ancient sacred lore, it was in the belly of the whale that Jonah (the divine element in man's nature) spent his three days and nights in hell.
For he exclaims: "Out of the belly of Hades have I cried unto thee, O God." Holy Scripture does not inform us whether he enjoyed his unique voyage across the sea of life in this extraordinary mode of transportation, but at any rate it landed him safely and perhaps triumphantly on "that farther shore."
On a naïve and somewhat superficial view it may be considered unfortunate that instead of a "whale" of a glamorous time in this belly of Hades, millions have had or are still having a "wail" of a deuced bad time.
But, as all experience undergone by the souls of God's children in any sphere may legitimately be considered educative, being in the nature of strains and stresses calculated to lead all lives upward to enhanced happiness in a progressive evolution, the lament over our enforced session at the wailing wall of this life on earth can be happily mollified by amended philosophical considerations.
It seems now and forever incredible that the whole grandiose structure of the wondrous ancient arcane science of the soul, the unified physical and spiritual evolution of man to grades of higher consciousness, has been wrecked for any sane comprehension by a thing seemingly so minor and inconsequential as the misconception of the use of symbolic imagery and the play of poetic fancy in analogical depiction of truth.
Yet, categorically and bluntly stated, such has been the case in the greatest miscarriage, defeat and debacle of human intelligence in the field of religious philosophy in all the ages.
The place or region in which theological ineptitude located the two states of conscious being, happiness and misery, universally presumed the one or the other, to follow this life on earth, has been psychologically determinative of the mental health, or conversely, of the insanity and hypnotic hallucination of millions of earth's inhabitants over the ages.
This essay is conceived in the spirit and with the motive of awakening the slumbering mind of the Occidental world to the sobering realization that its dominating Christian religion has almost from the moment of its inception nearly twenty centuries ago located its predicated heaven and hell in a time and in a world both completely amiss from their proper locale and proper period.
It can now be proclaimed as an incontrovertible fact that this religion of the West, so presumptuously vaunting itself as superior to all others, has perpetrated the crassest asininity of all religious history in both mistiming and misplacing the hell, or dark underworld of its Scriptures and its theology in a totally different world from the one which the knowing authors of the world's sacred scripts intended to be understood.
In fact its theologians and interpreters have ridiculously mislocated their hell! They have thrust it from that area of life to which it was meant to appertain in the esoteric formulations of ancient religious literature clear over into another world, a limbo concocted by the lurid theological imagination out of the elements of misinterpreted Biblical representation.
Missing entirely the real world to which the hell experience of souls rightly appertained, they have fantastically fabricated an utterly spurious hell for which their Scriptures, when read with full comprehension of their deeper meaning, offer not a line of warrant.
This incredible blunder came in consequence of the entanglement of several threads of meaning flowing forth from the misinterpretation of one single term of symbolic reference and import in that language of recondite semanticism in which all those revered texts of Holy Writ were indited.
(The loss of knowledge of this form and method of ancient Biblical writing was the initial cause of the total gross misinterpretation of the Scriptures.)
The continued mistaking of the pristine purport of the spiritual allegories plunged the exegetists into the fatal error of misplacing in part the heaven, and wholly the hell experience.
And this was primarily due to their failure to retain, or to apprehend at any time, the cryptic connotation of that single word of key significance in the symbolic lexicon of antiquity.
That word now looms up in the recovered science of arcane wisdom as the most strategically important in the entire dictionary of theology. It is the word "death", with its correlative terms "to die" and "the dead".
The initiated ancient Egyptian hierophants, the learned Hebrew tanaim and later the Church's own Alexandrian Fathers, notably Clement and Origen, and above all Philo, the Jewish philosopher of the first Christian century, all declared that underneath the literal surface meaning of the Scriptures astute intelligence could discern a far more subtle significance, hidden by allegorical cleverness under terms of common usage.
As physical and material things must at any rate be used to adumbrate all spiritual conceptions and verities, the veiled language of symbolism employed objects and phenomena to pictorialize their abstract and recondite mysteries of the spirit.
So it was that the sage authors of sacred books used the term and concept of physical death, the demise or decease of bodily life, as at once both the cover and the revelation of another death, not of body, but of soul, which was the cardinal principle of understanding in their sacred "science of the soul".
Pledged on penalty of death in their Mystery Associations not to betray the secrets of their esoteric knowledge, their veiling of true sense under an outer physical fact was in this case most crafty, for the very paradoxical reason that they here attributed death to that one element or component of man's constitution which can never suffer death, the soul.
Bodies die, but souls do not. Upon separation of soul and body, so the Scriptures tell us, bodies return to dust, but souls return to God who gave them.
YOU SEE, how religion has lied to you? IT says that the soul returns to god which gave it!!!
"The kingdom of god is inside you and all around you, not in mansions made of wood and stone Cleave a (piece of) wood: I am there. Raise up the stone, and ye shall find me there. "
Gospel of Thomas
To transcend thinking and to allow the unfoldment of the higher consciousness, one must go into meditation and shut down all thoughts.
Heaven bound, or hell bound, it's all just a matter of mind and conditions.
This is the key!!!
To the unreasoning psychic and emotional aptitudes of less intelligent folk: the hypnotic gullibility of religious piety and a pitiable slavery to religious superstition.
These are the Bible literalists, those who blindly take the Bible as the exact word of God (of whom our president is one, as are many of his fundamentalist minions), and they only look at discoveries like this new gospel and stare numbly, uncomprehendingly, as fluid divinity swirls around them like some sort of frustrated mist.
The truth is, religion was formed to serve people just like this, those who are unable to grasp nuances and unable to think beyond a certain scope, those who are unwilling or unable follow what is perhaps the single most powerful and significant of all Christ's (and Buddha's, and the Tao's, etc.) teachings: that is, to seek God within. Not in a priest. Not in a building. Not in an organized institution. Within you.
To be a Christian indeed, you must lay aside the use of your mind altogether.
The most detestable wickedness, the most horrid cruelties, and the greatest miseries that have afflicted the human race have had their origin in this thing called revelation, or revealed religion.
It has been the most dishonorable belief against the character of the Divinity, the most destructive to morality and the peace and happiness of man, that ever was propagated since man began to exist.
Religions promote untruth
By its very nature, religion promotes lies and goes contrary to all of human knowledge. Its pivotal belief, the existence of souls, is contrary to all of our experience and medical knowledge.
It promotes creationism, socialism, emotionalism, and a slew of other evil beliefs. Trillions of man-hours have been wasted on religious nonsense.
So far I have not found a religion which did not belong to the "totally wasteful" category. All religions are memetic black holes, sucking out the energy of a society and eventually eating it from inside out. Religious ideologies are parasites, exploiting science, the economy and social communities for their own gain.
To quote David Rice, "[r]eligion is the largest industry in the world, and it provides no tangible service; trades in no tangible goods. Yet it is a multi-billion dollar industry. In every other endeavor, this would be called 'fraud'".
If they were any other kind of organization, religions would be illegal. The make-money-fast scammer is arrested for conning people out of five or ten dollars, but no eternal-life scammer has been arrested for conning people out of their intellectual health, and sometimes even the sanctity of their life and that of their children, for an impossible bet. Incidentally, pyramid scammers often use churches as a leverage.
It is a crime to the highest degree, to give the free agency of your mind over to some organization, any organization on this earth we call Gaia.
The difference between a gangster and a Christian is not in how much they provide for their friends, but how they treat their enemies.
People speak in gibberish (tongues) and tell stories of miracles that never happen.
They eat jesus crackers, pray to plaster saints, wear funny hats and carry smoking voodoo purses, in short, they are sick bastards!
popes (Big papa dufus) Priests, bishops, pastors, preachers, rabbis, all sick knuckleheads.
It's pretty scary stuff when you realize that these people a really sharing a mass mental illness ritual that is further separating them from the real world and causing them to believe things and behave in ways that have no basis in reality whatsoever.
You must UNPLUG from the systems and religions of the world, and you must replug yourself into the universal outlet. Just like in the matrix series.
Then you can begin to see the truth.
Among the worst examples of systematic brutality are the Papal, Roman, and Spanish Inquisitions. These institutions were established and perpetuated by the Roman Catholic Church to eliminate dissenters, apostates, heretics, Jews, witches and anyone out of favor with church authorities.
These included great scientists of the day such as Giordano Bruno and Galileo. The church conspired with secular monarchs to stamp out dissent among citizens throughout Europe. The most hideous torture methods and devices were employed toward this purpose.
The vast amount of personal property confiscated during the Inquisition has made the Catholic Church one of the wealthiest businesses in the world. Today, the Church enjoys political influence far beyond its due.
It actively campaigns against sexual freedom, birth control, equality for women, and promotes censorship in all forms of media. It influences the government on all these issues in direct violation of their tax exemption.
Religion, especially the catholic church and the Mohamed religions are the two worst blights to ever infect the brains of human beings. When will people wake up to this sickness, this disease upon the face of the earth?
Soon I hope!! Are people really that dumb? It appears so.
We are often told that religion is the source of our most humane ethics, and that without the church's influence, people will degrade towards barbarism.
Yet, a careful examination of church history will demonstrate how the most popular religions not only fail to promote good ethics, but have actually perpetrated some of the most outrageous cruelties in the history of civilization.
Nothing good has ever come out of religion, and why be a part of an religion that has such a murderous backgroung. Theres no need, they teach you nothing, they give you rote and ceremony, all your life nothing happens.
So where are the fruits. There works are dead, for they are spiritually dead themselves, they are wolves in sheeps clothing, giving you gall and vinegar, lulling you to sleep with their boring ceremonies.
The bible says if the fruit of a tree is corrupted, so are its roots, for an incorrupt tree cannot yield corrupted fruit. If the fruit is corrupt, the tree is corrupt, and so are its roots.
"Every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." (Matthew 7:17) A ripe tree brings forth ripe fruit, an unripe tree bring forth unripe fruit.
Now when you see the fruits of Christianity it is unripe, what they did showed the fruits of their tree, and the root of all Christianity is the catholic church.
All Christianity sprung from the rotten root called the catholic church. They are but branches of this corrupt tree. The fruits of these religions stand for themselves, child molestation, diamond rings, rolex watches, and millions of tax free dollars in their coffers, torture, murder, rape etc.
I personally, could not, would not, cannot, will not ever be a part of religion of any sort, for religion truly is the antichrist, because they keep you from knowing the truth.
They don't teach you to practice the single eye meditation as jesus instructed, this is the only way to contact that which we call God, and I've never heard it from a religious person before, but the bible teaches it.
The Bible is true, but they are wrong, stay away from them, and you'll be free.
The Case Against Religion
(originally, "Superior Men")
The God of the Bible is a Monster
Murderous viciousness, treachery, cruelty, deceitfulness, and arrogance are common characteristics of the Biblical God.
No man of ordinary good morals could be even a fraction as vicious, murderous, or vengeful as the Christian God, according to the book reputed to be His divine revelation.
God Diagnosed With Bipolar Disorder
NEW HAVEN, CT–In a diagnosis that helps explain the confusing and contradictory aspects of the cosmos that have baffled philosophers, theologians, and other students of the human condition for millennia, God, creator of the universe and longtime deity to billions of followers, was found Monday to suffer from bipolar disorder.
The Lord, found to be manic-depressive by Rev. Dr.Jurgens (left).
Rev. Dr. J. Henry Jurgens, a practicing psychiatrist and doctor of divinity at Yale University Divinity School, announced the historic diagnosis at a press conference.
"I always knew there had to be some explanation," Jurgens said. "And, after several years of patient research and long sessions with God Almighty through the intercessionary medium of prayer, I was able to pinpoint the specific nature of His problem."
Bipolar, or manic-depressive, disorder is a condition that afflicts millions. Characterized by cycles of elation followed by bouts of profound depression and despair, the disorder can wreak havoc on both the sufferer and his or her loved ones, particularly if it goes undetected and untreated for an extended period.
Though the condition is estimated to affect, in one form or another, 5 percent of the world's population, Monday marks the first time it has been diagnosed in a major deity.
Evidence of God's manic-depression can be found throughout the Universe, from the white-hot explosiveness of quasars to the cold, lifeless vacuum of space.
However, theologians note, humanity's exposure to God's affliction comes primarily through His confusing propensity to alternately reward and punish His creations with little rhyme or reason.
"Last week, I lost my dear husband Walter to the flood," said housewife and devout churchgoer Elaine Froman of Davenport, IA. "I asked myself,
Why? Why would God do something like this, especially when He had just helped Walter overcome a long battle with colon cancer, and we were so happy that we finally had a chance to start our lives anew?'"
New York attorney Ruth Kanner also gained firsthand knowledge of God's wild mood swings.
"Last Saturday, on a gorgeous spring afternoon, I was jogging in Central Park with my daughter. We were marveling at the beauty and majesty of nature, and I remember thinking what a wonderful world we live in.
Then, out of nowhere, I heard the gunfire," said Kanner, speaking from her hospital bed at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. "All they took was a measly $17, and for that, the doctors say my daughter will never walk again.
If only Our Holy Father didn't have those mental problems, my precious Katie might not be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life."
Jurgens stressed that God's earthly subjects need to understand that, because of His bipolar condition, He is not in control of His actions and does not realize how they affect others.
"What He needs from us is understanding and patience," Jurgens said. "To paraphrase the words of the Lord God Himself, 'Humans, forgive Him, for He knows not what He does.'"
Taken on the same day, these photos offer evidence of God's mood disorder.
While such drugs as Paxil, Prozac, and Zoloft have proven effective in the treatment of bipolar disorder among humans, there is no modern earthly medicine that can be prescribed for a deity as vast and complex as God.
Jurgens is in the process of forming a support group, "Living With A Bipolar Creator-Deity," for all of humanity to "get together and discuss their feelings about living in a universe run by an Omnipresent Loved One not fully in control of his emotions."
Jurgens said he believes God's essential condition is seasonal, as evidenced by the bursts of energy and elation associated with springtime and summer, followed by the decay and bleak despair of fall and winter. Sometimes, however, the condition cycles even faster.
"The average person with bipolar disorder may go through as many as 10 or 12 cycles of mania and subsequent depression in a lifetime. In severe cases, a sufferer may experience four or more per year, which is known as 'rapid cycling,'" Jurgens said.
"We believe God suffers from the even rarer 'ultra-rapid cycling,' which would account for the many documented cases in which He alternates between benevolence and rage toward humanity within a matter of seconds.
For example, last week, He brought desperately needed, life-giving rain to southern Mali while simultaneously leveling Turkey with a devastating earthquake."
Further evidence of God's manic-depression can be found in the Bible, in which the erotomania of the Song of Songs sharply contrasts with the sadness and existential despair of the Book of Ecclesiastes.
The Book of Job, Jurgens noted, marks the best example of His condition. The book begins with the bleak lamentations of Job and ends with a full-blown manic episode by God, complete with such classic bipolar symptoms as the illusion of omnipotence and delusions of grandeur.
HELL, you bet it is, all of ISRAEL is HELL
When I became convinced that the Universe is natural that all the ghosts and gods are myths, there entered into my brain, into my soul, into every drop of my blood, the sense, the feeling, the joy of freedom.
The walls of my prison crumbled and fell, the dungeon was flooded with light and all the bolts, and bars, and manacles became dust. I was no longer a servant, a serf or a slave.
There was for me no master in all the wide world not even in infinite space, other than myself.
I was free free to think, to express my thoughts
free to live to my own ideal.
free to live for myself and those I loved free to use all my faculties, all my senses free to spread imagination's wings free to investigate, to guess and dream and hope free to judge and determine for myself free to reject all ignorant and cruel creeds, all the "inspired"
books that have produced, and all the barbarous legends of the past free from popes and priests.
free from all the "called" and "set apart" free from sanctified mistakes and holy lies free from the fear of eternal pain free from the winged monsters of the night free from devils, ghosts and gods. For the first time I was free.
There were no prohibited places in all the realms of thought no air, no space, where fancy could not spread her painted wings no chains for my limbs no lashes for my back.
no fires for my flesh no master's frown or threat no following anothers steps no need to bow, or cringe, or crawl, or utter lying words.
I was free. I stood erect and fearlessly, joyously, faced all worlds." The Cosmos dissolved into my being and I became one with it.
When I was a Christian going to church I was bound and gagged, but now, I can see, I can finally see the cosmic truth, God and I are one.
I am free to roam, free to be, I am free to express my universal oneness with all of creation, I am not alone, for even a single star is my father, and another my mother.
The child of promise will be born of the virgin. That child will be destroyed by the system unless he is taken away from the place of the evil.
That child within you must be taken to the place of meditation on the right side where there is no human thought. Where the evil of the system does not exist.
The wicked king is the power of the lower mind which will try and destroy this new life inside of you.
Whether this be religion, government, family or friends. They must bow to the religion or they must bow to the system.
They cannot deal with the child born within you. The system is Herod, Kansa and Cronus.
The story of the Cosmic child who is to be born within each one of us that that child may grow to overcome the violent systems of government and religion that has caused such pain, suffering, death and destruction on this most beautiful creation of God, planet earth.
The beautiful point of the story is that when one separates from the physical realm and spends time looking within oneself, the obsession with physical life gives way to a oneness with nature.
That which is man made, becomes that which is God made. And then all things will be added unto you.
ALL things!

One of our neighbours advertised a garage sale this week and on the list were sewing items, so I was there bright and early. I came away with a $5 box of 30 or so sewing patterns. They are mainly children's sizes and there are lots of little girl's dress patterns so I was pretty happy with that. There were also some new zips and other useful odd and ends in the bottom of the box.
I also snapped up this little ironing board for $5 for Miss Muff. We just need to paint it and make a nice little cover for it. She spied a toy iron the other day which I bought for her so this will go nicely. All she wants now is her own sewing machine so she can be like Mummy. The brain washing continues, I'll make a quilter out of her yet, you watch!

The ARL Statistics & Assessment Committee guides the work of the ARL Statistics & Assessment Program staff. This section of the site provides information about the committee as well as a staff roster.
The ARL Task Force on New Ways of Measuring Collections worked from December 2004 through October 2006 to articulate current issues associated with the ARL Statistics and to propose changes for how ARL measures research library collections. The work of the task force led to ARL revising the quantitative index and developing the ARL Library Investment Index, as well as engaging in qualitative work that culminated with the collection of a five-page narrative profile from each ARL library describing its collections, services, and collaborative relations as a way of expanding and accompanying the annual quantitative data collection.
The ARL library profiles collected between 2008 and 2010 were analyzed through an extensive iterative coding process by a number of key collaborators. Ultimately this work informs the activities of the Task Force on Reviewing the ARL Statistics, the ARL Supplementary Statistics, and the ARL Annual Salary Survey that was established to operate over a two year period from 2010 to 2012. For more on the profiles, see the report, "ARL Profiles: Emerging Themes," by Robert Fox, Patrick Reakes, Bryan Skib, Ann Snowman.

From Hagerstown, Maryland, USA:
My Ob/Gyn had me go for a 2 hour fasting gestational diabetes test in my 27th week of pregnancy. The results were 138 at 2 hours. I have found info on 1 hour and 3 hour but not 2 hour testing. My doctor considers this a high level and has recommended a 3 hour fasting test. Can you provide any information on the 2 hour test and normal/abnormal blood sugar level?
The standard screening test in the United States is a 50 gram, 1 hour glucose tolerance test. The cutoff value is between 130 and 140 mg/dl. I am not sure why your doctor ordered a 2 hour test for screening purposes.
The normal values on the three hour test are fasting: less than 105 mg/dl, 1 hour less than 190, 2 hour less than 165 and three hour less than 145.

Bayonne is a city in Hudson County, New Jersey, United States, south of Jersey City. As of the United States 2000 Census, the city had a total population of 61,842.
According to tradition, the city derives its name from the city of Bayonne in France. It is said that French Huguenots settled there some time before New Amsterdam was founded. French-speaking Walloons were a large percentage of the population of New Netherland during the mid-seventeenth century and may have given the name. However, there are no historical records to prove this, and it has been alternatively suggested[citation needed] that, when the land was purchased for real estate speculation, it was named Bayonne because it is on the shores of two bays, Newark and New York, hence Bay-on, or "on the Bays." Bayonne is a diverse city, with large communities of Italian, Irish and Polish Americans .
Bayonne was originally formed as a township on April 1, 1861, from portions of Bergen Township. Bayonne was reincorporated as a city by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 10, 1869, replacing Bayonne Township, subject to the results of a referendum held nine days later.[5]
Bayonne is connected to Staten Island, New York by the Bayonne Bridge. The Bayonne Bridge is lit in patriotic colors (red, white & blue) in the evenings, as a 9/11 memorial initiated by a then 8-year-old girl in the summer of 2002, Veronica Marie Granite, with the assistance of then-Municipal Councilmember-at-Large Maria Karczewski.
Bayonne is located at 40°39′54″N 74°6′37″W / 40.665°N 74.11028°W[6] (40.666552, -74.117680),[7] south of Jersey City on a peninsula surrounded by New York Bay to the east, Newark Bay to the west, and the Kill van Kull to the south.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 11.2 square miles (29.1 km²), of which, 5.6 square miles (14.6 km²) of it is land and 5.6 square miles (14.6 km²) of it (50.04%) is water.
Communities within Bayonne include Bergen Point and Constable Hook.[8] I think Bayonne is fun.

Bayonne is split between the Tenth and Thirteenth Congressional Districts and is part of New Jersey's 31st Legislative District.[14]
New Jersey's Tenth Congressional District, covering portions of Essex County, Hudson County, and Union County, is represented by Donald M. Payne (D, Newark). New Jersey's Thirteenth Congressional District, covering portions of Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, and Union Counties, is represented by Albio Sires (D, West New York). New Jersey is represented in the Senate by Frank Lautenberg (D, Cliffside Park) and Bob Menendez (D, Hoboken).
For the 2010-2011 Legislative Session, the 31st District of the New Jersey Legislature is represented in the State Senate by Sandra Bolden Cunningham (D, Jersey City) and in the Assembly by Anthony Chiappone (D, Bayonne) and Charles Mainor (D, Jersey City).[15] The Governor of New Jersey is Chris Christie (R, Mendham).[16] The Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey is Kim Guadagno (R, Monmouth Beach).[17]
Hudson County's County Executive is Thomas A. DeGise. The executive, together with the Board of Chosen Freeholders in a legislative role, administer all county business. Hudson County's nine Freeholders (as of 2009) are: District 1: Doreen McAndrew DiDomenico (Chairman); District 2: William O'Dea (Chairman Pro Tempore); District 3: Jeffrey Dublin; District 4: Eliu Rivera; District 5: Anthony Romano; District 6: Tilo Rivas (Vice Chairman); District 7: Jose C. Muñoz; District 8: Thomas Liggio; and District 9: Albert Cifelli.
The Bayonne Board of Education serves students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. Schools in the district are the ten K-8 elementary schools ( Henry E. Harris No. 1, Phillip G. Vroom No. 2, Dr. Walter F. Robinson No. 3, Mary J. Donohoe No. 4, Lincoln No. 5, Horace Mann No. 6, Midtown Community School No. 8, George Washington School No. 9, Woodrow Wilson No. 10 and John M. Bailey No. 12); P.S. #14, an advanced school for gifted and talented students in academics, the arts, and physical education, for students in grades K-8th (as of 2008); and Bayonne High School. Bayonne High School is the only public school in the state to have an on-campus ice rink for its hockey team.[18]
For the 2004-05 school year, Mary J. Donohoe No. 4 School was named a "Star School" by the New Jersey Department of Education, the highest honor that a New Jersey school can achieve.[19] It is the fourth school in Bayonne to receive this honor. The other three are Bayonne High School in 1995-96,[20] Midtown Community School in 1996-97[21] and P.S. #14 in the 1998-99 school year.[22]
The Board of Education has implemented a dress code that will take effect in the 2006-07 school year for students in Pre-K through eighth grade. Under this code students will wear a school logo shirt and a variety of pants, skirts, shorts, and other prescribed items. The plan is intended to "increase student identification with their schools and the district, Eliminate many of the distractions associated with differences in social or economic status, Allow the children, their teachers and the Board of Education to concentrate on shared pursuit of educational excellence [and] Instill a sense of belonging and school pride".[23][24] A heated battle is currently being fought between enraged parents and the Board, with parents upset at the manner in which the policy was imposed, the cost of the uniforms, the loss of freedom of expression to students in choosing the clothing they wear and issues regarding the manner in which the contract was awarded.[25]
The Bayonne Bridge provides a direct link to New York City, i.e. Staten Island.
The Newark Bay Extension of the New Jersey Turnpike (Interstate 78) provides access to Jersey City and, via the Holland Tunnel, Manhattan. In the opposite direction on the Newark Bay Extension, the Newark Bay Bridge provides access to Newark, Newark Liberty International Airport and the rest of the Turnpike (Interstate 95).
Route 440 runs along the east side of Bayonne, and the west side of Jersey City, following the old Morris Canal route. Although it has traffic lights it is usually the quickest way to go north-south within Bayonne. It connects to the Bayonne Bridge, I-78, and to Route 185 to Liberty State Park.
Bus transportation is provided on three main north-south streets of the city: Broadway, Kennedy Boulevard, and Avenue C, both by the state-operated New Jersey Transit and several private bus lines. The Broadway line runs solely inside Bayonne city limits, while bus lines on Avenue C and Kennedy Boulevard run to various end points in Jersey City. One Kennedy Boulevard service (the Coach USA 99S) runs to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in midtown Manhattan, New York City, and rush hours peak direction the NJ Transit 120 runs between Avenue C in Bayonne and Battery Park in Downtown Manhattan, while the 81 provides service to New Jersey.[26]
The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, which was completed in the year 2000, has been a popular form of transportation which currently has stops throughout Bayonne, Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken, Union City and North Bergen.
Stations in Bayonne are:
A fourth station, 8th Street, which will be located at Avenue C, is under construction. Incidentally, all of these stations were the original train stations for the old Central Jersey rail system.
Service within Bayonne is available between these three stations. Northbound service from Bayonne runs through Jersey City, mostly near the waterfront, to Hoboken Terminal. Other parts of the system can be accessed via transfers. The Tonnelle Avenue (in North Bergen) and other stations north of Hoboken Terminal can also be reached by transferring at stations between Liberty State Park and Pavonia-Newport for the West Side Avenue-Tonnelle Avenue route, or at Hoboken Terminal for the Tonelle Avenue-Hoboken route. The Liberty State Park station is a transfer point for those traveling between Bayonne and stations on the West Side Avenue (Jersey City) line. Connection to PATH trains to midtown Manhattan and to New Jersey Transit commuter train service are available at Hoboken Terminal, and connections to PATH trains to midtown Manhattan are available at the Hoboken Terminal and Pavonia-Newport stations. Transfers to PATH trains to Newark, Harrison, and downtown Manhattan are available at Exchange Place.
The Bayonne Golf Club at New York Harbor, a private links style golf course that was constructed on marshland at Constable Hook. A flagpole, displaying a large American flag that is visible from Manhattan and other surrounding communities, stands next to the golf course's clubhouse, which also marks the highest point of elevation in the city of Bayonne.
Bayonne's section of the Hackensack RiverWalk (Bergen Point to Bellman's Creek in North Bergen), if fully completed, would run from the southwest corner of Bergen Point where the Kill Van Kull meets the Newark Bay and connect to the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway. A plaque unveiled on May 2, 2006 for the new Richard A. Rutkowski Park, a wetlands preserve on the northwestern end of town that is part of the RiverWalk. Also known as the Waterfront Park and Environmental Walkway, it is located immediately north of the Stephen R. Gregg Hudson County Park.

On the site of the former Military Ocean Terminal, plans for Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor include new housing and businesses. Construction is underway and one section of housing is completed. A memorial park for the Tear of Grief, commemorating September 11th, 2001, Cape Liberty Cruise Port and Port Liberty are located at the end of the long peninsula. In 2005, eight PCC trolly cars from the Newark City Subway were given to the Bayonne to be rehabilitated and operated along a proposed 2.5-mile (4.0 km) loop to connect to the 34th Street station of the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail.[27]
Bayonne currently plays host to a many animal species including aquatic animals, semi-aquatic animals, and land-dwelling animals. Most populations thrive.

LOS ANGELES >> Bolu Olorunfunmi doesn't mean to gush about his new running backs coach. But can you really blame the rising junior? DeShaun Foster is, after all, a UCLA legend.
"I don't want to sound like a fan boy," Olorunfunmi said bashfully, after he admitted to watching Foster's film from both UCLA and Tustin High.
Foster, who led the Pac-10 in rushing as a senior in 2001, returned to Westwood this spring to take over a struggling running backs group that fell into disarray in 2016. The former UCLA star inherits one of the program's worst rushing offenses, but has confidence the group is in for a big bounce-back season.
"If I didn't think they could do it, I don't think I would have come back," Foster said with a laugh. "I have full confidence in these running backs. I was here when they were being recruited, and I'm excited for them."
After his seven-year NFL career, Foster jumped into coaching at UCLA while finishing his degree in 2014. He stayed on the staff as the director of player development and high school relations in 2015 before jetting off to Texas Tech, where he coached running backs last year. When UCLA fired former offensive coordinator and running backs coach Kennedy Polamalu, the opportunity to come home was one Foster just couldn't pass up.
During his first two years on the UCLA coaching staff, Foster helped recruit Olorunfunmi and Soso Jamabo, both juniors this year, and coached Nate Starks, a freshman in 2014. Olorunfunmi called Foster one of the reasons why he came to UCLA at all.
"He's a great Bruin and it's good to have a Bruin that's a legend to teach us," Olorunfunmi said. "I feel fortunate and very happy to have him as my coach."
By the time he finished his UCLA playing career, Foster was second in all-time touchdowns scored (44) and third in all-time rushing yards (3,194). In 2001, he led the conference in rushing with 1,109 yards, despite playing only eight games due to an NCAA violation that cut his season short.
He's rejoining a UCLA program that could barely eclipse that number as a team last year. UCLA's 1,011 rushing yards last year was the third-lowest in school history. Last year's failure to run the ball effectively was a surprise to Foster, whose UCLA teams from 1998-2001 averaged 1,612 rushing yards per season.
"This is UCLA," he said. "There are going to be big-time players here. I didn't think it was them (the running backs) personally, it was just a combination of things. It was just tough."
Foster's experience at the position gives him instant credibility among his pupils and allows him to explain coaching points more effectively, Mora said.
"He's brought them a sense of confidence," the head coach added. "That's kind of how he coaches. He's demanding, but he's never demeaning towards them."
Restoring confidence in the downtrodden running back group came through individualized instruction. Foster encourages each running back's individual style by asking him which plays he likes best. It's a trick he picked up in the NFL as offensive coordinators would often ask him about which plays he felt most comfortable running.
"If you're comfortable, you're going to play better," Foster said. "If you're not comfortable, it's going to be tough."

Also titled as "Your Lie in April", this anime tells a story of Arima Kousei, a brilliant pianist who won a lot of concours since he was a kid. But since his mother died about two years ago, he had a mental breakdown which causes him no longer able to hear the sound of his piano even though his hearing was perfectly fine. He passed two years not playing piano until he met Miyazono Kaori, a high-spirited violinist that taught him to play music not only based on music sheets, but also with his heart. Kaori helps Kousei return to the music world and show that it should be free and mold breaking unlike the structured and rigid style Kosei was used to.
I watched this anime after it was finished airing. For me, this is a very excellent anime I ever watched. It contains so much feelings and life lessons, also comedy and romance of high-school students. There are four main characters: Arima Kousei, Miyazono Kaori, Sawabe Tsubaki, and Watari Ryouta. Tsubaki and Watari is Kousei's bestfriends. My favorite characters are the protagonists, Arima Kousei and Miyazono Kaori. But I like Kousei the best! His attitude and character makes me fall in love with him over and over again. He do nothing and I just sit here admiring all things about him. I like Kaori because of her positiveness and spirit. I love how she played violin to express her feelings and not just play the music based on the music sheets.
By the way, the music used for the openings and endings are soooo good! Here's the list of the openings and endings with the download link:
My favorites are Hikaru Nara, Nanairo Symphony, and Orange.
I think the best scenes in the whole 22 episodes are when Kousei met Kaori and when Kousei read Kaori's last message for him; which means the beginning and the ending of the series! The ending broke my heart into pieces that I cried a lot watching it. I recommend this anime for those who love music genres and comedy romance, with a lot of feelings included!
Story: 4/5
Characters: 4/5

Music: 5/5
"No matter what you do, no matter how you change, it doesn't mean a thing. You're just you, no matter what." -Miyazono Kaori

37 Adventures
From: UK
Born in the close, sometimes-claustrophobic confines of The Dark Peak, artist and producer Krrum started writing songs at the age of thirteen, stumbling into his pseudonym whilst working at a butchers. Keen to broaden his horizons, he moved to Leeds to study, where he also became engrossed in the escapist aesthetic and beats of early-Gorillaz, the melancholic songwriting of Justin Vernon, and the adventurous spirit of Jai Paul. Built around an equally strong, surreal visual to the project, 'Hard On You' will also see Krrum make his debut live appearances.

I'm not sure if I like this one. It's meant to illustrate "day two" in which God separates the sky "vault" or "dome" from the water. I think the joke is the view that creation can seem arbitrary: that there's no rhyme or reason for things being the way they are except that a creator decided it would be that way. Of course, when the Son of God gets too carried away with his Blow-Up style vocal delivery and silly artistic expression, God comes in to put a stop to it, suggesting that there's a "right" way to do it. I'm with God on this one. Everywhere else in the strip, creation and the "interference" of the gods is more natural and limited. They're not what I would call "all-powerful."
Of course, the Son is also making devil horns and stuff, typical childhood graffiti, so there's that silly joke to enjoy too. (The devil face brings up theological questions about this strip that I'm not equipped to answer.) And the yellow is the color of the usual smiley face.
My guess is that no one would think about the strip as much as I do/have, so everyone else probably likes it as much as any other.

The PyroManiacs devote some space each weekend to highlights from The Spurgeon Archive. The following excerpt is from "Compassion on the Ignorant," a sermon preached on Thursday evening, 3 April 1884, at London's Metropolitan Tabernacle.
he talk of the theological hall is not understood in the cottage; and common phrases, which reading people understand at once, are not understood by multitudes of people.
But the pity is that there are also thousands of reading people who are totally ignorant of the things of God,—some of the wealthiest, some of the best educated, aye, some even of those who have been to the university, and some who put the "D.D." after their names.
"No," say you, "that cannot be."
I say that it is; and if you yourself know the way of salvation, you have but to talk with some of these people to find that what I say is true.
This is a truth that is learnt by the teaching of the Holy Ghost, and not by the teaching of theological professors. A man might spend a century under the best ministry, or in the best school that ever existed on earth, and yet, at the end of one hundred years, he might not know the things of God; for these truths must come as a revelation to each man, and God the Holy Ghost must teach them to each one, or they will never be learned. This is the standing miracle in the Church of God; and unless we see it continually wrought, we have not the clearest evidence that our religion is supernatural and divine.
Every man who really receives it, receives it not because it suits his taste or his palate, but because the Spirit of God sends it home to his heart. Every man who truly knows Christ, knows him not because with his own faculties he found him out, but because it pleased God to reveal his Son in him. And, apart from this, there is and must be to the end of human life an absence of all real knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
First, "Ye must be born again;" and then, being born again, ye must be taught of the Spirit of God; and, if we are not, as the strongest light cannot make a blind man see, and the greatest heat cannot make a dead man warm, so, neither can anything that we do, as long as the soul is unrenewed, ever cause it to know God and his grace aright. It is a common ignorance, then, in all ranks of society.
It is also an ignorance concerning the most important matters; for the men of whom I am now speaking are, first, ignorant of themselves. They are ignorant of their own ignorance; and perhaps there is no ignorance that is so hard to deal with as the utter ignorance of men as to their own ignorance.
"What! you call me ignorant?" a man asks. "I know everything; I have read from Genesis to Revelation, and I understand it all; I could preach as well as anybody."
Yes, but that kind of talk shows that you do not know, for he that knows that he does not know; and there is no man less inclined to boast of his knowledge than the man who has a good deal of it.
Whenever I find the men of the modern school of thought, as they are continually doing, sneering at the orthodox because we are all uncultured, and so forth, I think to myself, "And if you only had a little culture, you would not sneer so often." It is a mark which will never mislead you, that he who thinks that he knows is a fool; and he who says that he knows more than anybody else, and can afford to deal out his sneers liberally to others, is a gentleman who, if justice were dealt out to him, would be himself sneered at.
Those who are strangers to themselves do not know their own ignorance, and that is lamentable ignorance indeed.

Double Insulated Wire: DCPIW34
If you intend to build permanent electric fences, you're going to need double insulated wire.
All of it looks the same to the less experienced user. But the differences are in the details—gauge, tensile strength, insulation thickness and single coat of insulation vs. double coat.
If you intend to use for temporary or semi-permanent fences, look to MaxiShock Insulated Cable.
Common Uses
- Extra-thick layer of galvanized zinc
- High Tensile
- 12.5 gauge
- 120,000 psi (tensile strength)
- 15-20 years of probable life
- Rated for up to 20,000 volts protection
- Outer diameter is .37"
- Has a double layer of polyethylene insulation for underground use.
Double insulated wire is the most reliable choice for underground burial. (Even then it should be enclosed in 3/4 in. black plastic water pipe for extra protection from rocks and traffic.)
Installation Tips
- Cut the double coated wire with wire cutters.
- Strip off 3" of the insulation and attach it to your fence.
- Attach to high tensile fences with Manual Joint Clamps or HT Taps.
- Attach to rope fences with Rope Connectors.

Well insulated and easy to work with.
Silvio M from California
Great wire, well insulated.
Lisa T from Missouri
We use this to go underground and up and down the gate posts where we use standard metal gates. Some of ours has been installed for over 10 years and still functioning perfectly.
Peggy K from Kansas
Heavy duty! The only problem is you can't mow over it with a tractor without PVC of burying.
Carvel C from NC- Eastern Piedmont region
Great product. The only problem experienced is underground blowout apparently from lightning strikes. I am now putting it in PVC pipe buried shallowly where machinery will cross, and just laid out on the ground where only animals cross. No problems since in any of the 20+ uses.
