Bring them home and have them remain with you. It is time that you reclaim every part of your sweet self, it is time to re-unite, it is time to return to wholeness. Channeled by Genoveva Coyle
Greetings dearest ones! I am Uriel, Archangel of Love and Silver Light of the Truth, bringer of the future and the totality of yourself in this now, your friend, beloved brother and family, always.
I am here to speak to you, to wrap you in my grayelsha light and love, and to gentle urge you, yes, to ask and suggest to thee to make that urgent call to all of the parts of self to come home and then to remain with you. It is time that you reclaim every part of your sweet self, it is time to gather and re-unite, it is time to return to wholeness.
"But, Uriel," you are saying to me, "I don't even know that I have missing parts and aspects that need to come home! I don't know when they left me. I wouldn't leave anything behind and forget about it, and certainly I do not believe that I would not check on them or visit with them in a such long time."
It really doesn't matter, dear hearts. What is important in this now moment, is that you are intending to bring everyone home. And so you are demanding that the ones that have taken…well in a way you have given parts of yourself to them, unwillingly and unknowingly, in your lack of awareness.
But nevertheless, firmly place that call out there and command that they are to return to their heart and rightful home. Every single time you have found yourselves in a type of demanding relationship…it could have been with a parent or child, with a lover or partner, even with a grumpy teacher or a manipulative boss…you could have left behind a part of self.
This is who you are, a loving and giving angel-in-form that has always given love to others expressed in so many different ways. Most of the time, the recipients of your gift of love were closed hearted and not able to handle the pure energy of love given to them in such an abundant manner as you have done.
When your higher self and soul were able to convince you to let go and move on, sometimes creating painful scenarios forcing you to leave, then part of thee was left behind continuing to assist and give love and support to the ones you once engaged with, selflessly and lovingly.
This is not to be allowed any longer, for the Mother is asking all of her children to return to innocence and purity of heart. All have to grow up and learn freely and without interference. Everyone is allowed to play and experiment on this beautiful planet Earth, but there are new requirements and yes, the rules have changed.
There will be play and games taking place in the bright light, in plain view of all, with no more foul play and tricky surprises and hitting from behind. There is still free will in place and anyone that choses to use the ignorance of another innocent soul to gain more power, to parasite or lift themselves up and/or to sustain themselves by draining others, will be reprimanded and neutralized quickly.
The guardians, the protectors and the implementers of this Divine Plan, the ones to anchor the Universal Laws and love on Earth, have been chosen and are working overtime.
You know that the ones I am speaking about are the ones hearing and listening to this message! And yes, dearest and bravest ones, this is why you have designed this lifetime's journey with painful fragmentation and then, graceful retrievals, so you know and lead others through the process and to guard against anyone that would attempt to break the new rules.
You are strong, you are magnificent and brilliantly beautiful!
Until next time, I bid you farewell.
By Permission.

The Role of Gender in Depression
Rawd Alach
Research Paper: Rough Draft
The Role of Gender in Depression
I. Introduction: Depression
• Depressive disorders affect approximately 18.8 million American adults or about 9.5% of the U.S. population age 18 and older in a given year.
• 15% of depressed people will commit suicide.
• 30% of women are depressed. Men's figures were previously thought to be half that of women, but new estimates are higher
• Even famous people suffer from depression, Brooke Shields, Jim Carrey, Princess Diana, Van Gogh.
What is depression?
• "Depression is a psychological disorder characterized by long bouts of severe mood disturbance or excessive elation" (Downing-Orr 26).
• An illness that involves the body, mood, and thoughts, that affects the way a person eats and sleeps, the way one feels about oneself, and the way one thinks about things.
• There should be a distinction between the "blues" and depression. Most obviously depression is severe episodes of unhappiness during which people re not able to find relief or comfort (Downing-Orr 30).
Types of Depressions
• Major Depression: most common forms
• Dysthymia: Many people just walk around seeming depressed - - simply sad, a condition that people are not even aware of but just live with daily. They go through life feeling unimportant, dissatisfied, frightened.
• Manic Depression: changing mood very quickly. Heavy form of depression People who suffer from manic depression have an extremely high rate of suicide.
"Surveys, hospital admissions, and statistics…all concur: adult women report more mental health problems than men, and are more likey to be diagnosed and treatef for madness." JM Ussher. (Caplan 127).
Women vs. Men in Depression
In children depression is mostly the same until the age of 12. if the difference were to be noted it would show pre-pubertal boys as more depressed than pre- pubertal girls. However after the age of 12, females are twice as likely to be depressed then males. (Mazure 10)
Why are women more susceptible to depression?
What does gender have to do with depression?
II. Causes
Reasons for the onset of Depression in women: (Belhar, NIMH)
• Genetic factors
• Biochemical factors brain biochemistry deregulation of certain brain chemicals, called neurotransmitters. hormones have mood-altering properties.
Women often develop depression based on event that effected their biological state, like after menstruation, after childbirth, at menopause (Downing-Orr 35).
• Social factors, gender roles a sense of having little control over life events, and a tendency to worry excessively Upbringing or sex role expectations … It appears that negative thinking patterns typically develop in childhood or adolescence Some experts have suggested that the traditional upbringing of girls might foster these traits and may be a factor in women's higher rate of depression. That would be why at 12, puberty… roles get heavy.. depression rates go up in women.
• Roles of mother
Reasons for the onset of Depression in men:
• Gender roles: not being able to provide for the family
• Work stress
• Status factors
• Cultural factors
• Less physical and biological factors that make them have higher tolerance to depression.
III. Work effecting stress
Work Study, Job Strain Model
High job strain leads to mental health problems.
Study showed that women tended to have higher job strain then men. Placed in active jobs with low job control. Whereas men had high job control and low job strain. Men with high grade jobs non manual jobs, had more job strain and depressive symptoms then men in other types of jobs.
IV. Symptoms of Depression
• Persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" mood.
• Feelings of hopelessness or pessimism.
• Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness.
• Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities, including sex.
• Decreased energy, fatigue; feeling "slowed down."
• Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions.
• Trouble sleeping, early morning awakening, or oversleeping.
• Changes in appetite and/or weight.
• Thoughts of death or suicide, or suicide attempts.
• Restlessness or irritability.
• Persistent physical symptoms, such as headaches, digestive disorders, and chronic pain that do not respond to routine treatment.
Symptoms are the same in men and women however they deal with it differently.
The symptoms of depression are similar for both men and women, but they tend to be expressed differently.
The most common symptoms of depression include low self-esteem; suicidal thoughts; loss of interest in usually pleasurable activities; fatigue; changes in appetite; sleep disturbances; apathy; and sexual problems, including reduced sex drive.
Dealing with Depression:
Men are less to admit to depression.
Men are more likely to drink, be more active, get involved in something to relieve
stress, watch TV, get numb, violence, (after 12 boys got much more violent.. )
Women more likely to want to think things over, talk, express their feelings, etc.
Women try suicide more then men but men succeed more then women.
Therefore, that brings us to the question of whether or not women are generally more depressed then men or do men just not show or report their depression as often as women. ?
V. Treatment
In treating men and women for depression one must take into account biological gendered differences. Some drugs have been found to work on women and not on men. Gender differences in antidepressive agents. In a comparison antidepressive agents of sertraline (SSRI) and imipramine, it was found that women responded to SSRI more then men. And men vice versa. (Mazure 47).
VII. Conclusion
There are obvious differences between men and women in regards to depression.
Therefore several factors must be taken into consideration when dealing with depression in both men and women. Factors like genetics, social roles, gender roles, coping skills, etc. Depression can be fatal. It should be taken seriously and treated appropriately.
There seems to be no set solution for depression, not for men or women.
Therefore, the role of gender in depression should be taken into consideration when dealing with the disorder in a man or a woman.

Every homeowner wants their yard to look appealing. To do this, you really have to spend more time and effort in taking care of your lawn. You may be fully aware that there are plenty of things that should be done. One of the most important things that you need to do is to ensure that your plants get the right amount of water each day. Depending on the season and the type of plants you have in your lawn, the amount of water it requires will vary. If you are busy with your work or in doing various chores at home, it can be difficult to allocate some time in watering all of the plants in your yard. To help you with that, installing the appropriate type of irrigation system for your lawn is necessary.
An irrigation system is one of the components that every home with a yard should have. This is specifically important for homes with a larger outdoor area. When you have a larger yard, it will take a long time for you to water your plants by hand. When you install an irrigation system, you will have peace of mind that your plants will get adequate amount of water each day. It may cost a significant amount of money but you will be able to save time and effort in the long run. You will just have to set or configure the irrigation system and it will automatically water plants as required.
To help convince you to install an irrigation system in your yard, here are some of the benefits that you'll be able to take advantage of:
An irrigation system helps saves time.
Because you can easily set your irrigation system according to your preferences, installing one for your lawn actually saves you plenty of time. You can just turn on your irrigation system and set it as to how long you want it to run. By doing so, you can water your lawn while you are doing other chores. When you have a sprinkler system, it is even possible to set it to turn on when you are travelling out of town or when you are in the office. Even when you are away, you can still ensure that your plants are watered regularly.
It offers you flexibility in gardening.
The lack of flexibility is one of the reasons why some homeowners tend to forget or lack the effort in taking care of their outdoor area. Having an irrigation system on your yard offers you the flexibility that you need when you have a busy schedule. You can have your garden watered at a specific time. Aside from that, it also allows you to do more gardening work. While the other part of your garden is being watered, you will be able to plant, prune or fix another area in your garden. You will be able to do more gardening work at a much shorter period rather than doing each of those tasks manually one by one.
Your irrigation actually helps you conserve water.
Other people think that installing an irrigation system will just increase their water bill payments every month. But, they are actually wrong. That is probably one of the most common misconceptions that homeowners have about irrigation systems. As long as you have installed an effective irrigation system, you will be able to conserve a lot of water. An irrigation system is even much more effective than watering your plants manually. With the use of an irrigation system, you are able to provide the right amount of water for your plants. This means that you will not be over watering or under watering any of your plants.
For example, you can position your sprinkler system in an area in your yard where it will be able to water plenty of plants nearby and not the sidewalk or the street. There are also systems which have a sensor that prevents the system from turning on when it is raining. You can also adjust the irrigation system setting to increase the water it releases during a hot day or during drought. You can also set it to decrease the water it releases during rainy days or when you are trying to conserve water.
Your irrigation system helps prevent the occurrence of diseases and weeds in your yard.
Aside from conserving water, your irrigation system will also help you in preventing common diseases that occur in plants. It also helps in preventing the growth of weeds. There are irrigation systems, such as a drip system, that waters the plant directly to its roots. The water seeps through and flows directly to the roots of the plants. It is not watered like rain such as in a sprinkler. Through this, any weeds surrounding the plant will not grow. This will in turn benefit not only in the growth of your plants but also you. Why? This is because you will no longer have to spend plenty of time taking out any weeds that grew in your yard.
Watering your plants at the right time and with the right amount prevents the occurrence of any common plant diseases. When the plant is directly watered from the roots, the leaves will be in good condition. Sometimes, droplets that stay on the foliage of the plant causes problems in the leaves. This is something that other homeowners are not fully aware of. Contact a gardening expert and they'll discuss this matter with you.
An irrigation system not only preserves water but soil structure as well.
When people water their plants manually, most of them tend to water the plants more than what it needs. This is the same when you use a garden hose which just releases water. You may have notice that a lot of water will seep into the soil. Some people think that this is good as they can be certain that the water will really flow through the roots of the plants. What people do not know is that nutrients run off with the water. This will leave your plants with lesser nutrients than what it needs.
Because you have overwatered your plants, the soil where it is planted will be compacted. As the soil is compacted and the roots of your plant is suffocated, this causes the plant to wither. This will also increase the chance of plant diseases from occurring.
Talk to an irrigation system expert and ask for their guidance on choosing the appropriate irrigation system for your garden. They will be able to suggest a system that helps reduce soil compaction and preserves nutrients in the soil.
It will improve your home's curb appeal all year round.
Because the grasses, flowers, and all other plants in your outdoor area get the right amount of water, it will surely grow in a great condition. Even during drought, you can ensure that your plants will get the right amount of water that it needs. Grasses will be greener and flowering plants will really bloom. Your plants will grow healthy throughout the whole year. When all the plants in your yard are in great condition, you can ensure that your home's curb appeal will improve as well.
Installing an irrigation system adds value to your home.
Even if an irrigation system is not really a requirement in every home particularly those with a smaller yard, installing one will indirectly add value to your home. As discussed in the previous point, your outdoor area will look great throughout the whole year. This will in turn increase your home's curb appeal. If you plan on selling your home in the future, a great curb appeal will entice plenty of buyers. You will not have a hard time looking for a buyer as they are already interested in checking out your property because of the condition of your outdoor area. They will have an impression that your home is well-taken care of just by the look of your yard.
Those are the 7 major benefits that you can get from installing an irrigation system for your lawn. You do not have to install all the different types of irrigation system and spend a lot of money for it. You just have to make sure that you install an irrigation system that is appropriate for the size of your yard and the plants in there. You also have to consider the weather condition in the area where you are living.

The BC Centre for Aquatic Health Sciences Society is proposing to be the anchor tenant in the new Campbell River waterfront development.
Dr. Jim Powell, CEO of the Society, proposes a 'Salmon Centre of Excellence' for the site.
"Here we are in the Salmon Capital of the world," explains Jim. "And everyone here has an interest and opinion on salmon. We have First Nations groups, who are 'People of the salmon.' Their lives went with the rhythm of the salmon. Very similar with commercial fishers who would set out to reap that bounty. And similar to recreational fishers who are a huge contributor to the economy of the area. And then you get people retiring who love to fish and many put their time into enhancement facilities. Then, arguably, Campbell River's biggest employer is salmon farming. You get all these interests together it's quite the melting pot."
"The needs of all these stakeholders and beneficiaries have to be taken into account when talking about salmon resources," he continues. "And I don't think one entity, whether provincial, federal or any sort of government, can handle all the good work that needs to be done. So the Salmon Centre of Excellence is just that. It's focused on salmon, but also works with shellfish and other environmental issues around ocean productivity. Really, the goal of Salmon Centre of Excellence is to put more salmon back in the water."
The Centre for Aquatic Health Sciences is a fisheries and aquaculture research and diagnostic laboratory. They have a state of the art molecular and classical lab that does diagnostics on fish and shellfish. The CAHS work on the larger pictures of ecology and productivity in the ocean environment.
"The CHAS is multifaceted," says Dr. Powell, "We are a non-profit society because we have stakeholders, not shareholders. There is no one pulling our strings. We operate completely independently on a fee-for-service basis so we aren't reliant on government handouts or significant donors. We've been in business over 12 years and are a model that works. Whatever arrives at the door we do our diagnostics on it and you get the results back. You don't tell us what to do, we do what we need to do."
CHAS clients are anyone who is a stakeholder in salmon, whether that is industrial, government or other non-profits. They do work with the CR Salmon Foundation, the Pacific Salmon Foundation and with all the major fish producers. Their big clients are the DFO and the Province of BC. It's a rather broad-spectrum in that they serve a variety of needs for the public interest as a 3rd party without a stake in the outcome.
Dr. Powell sees a huge need for their work. "People all the time are asking, 'What is the state of ocean?' Or, in past years, 'Why am I not seeing many Tyee's?' or 'How can we put more fish back in the water?' and that's exactly what we want to address," he says.
There are a couple programs Dr. Powell and his team are especially proud of. "One of our longest running programs is the Plankton Monitoring Program. It's really simple," he says. "We go out and collect just water samples; just plankton. We look at them in the lab for the assemblage of zooplankton, the feed for salmon that will released from the hatchery. We coordinate with the DFO to tell them, 'The groceries are in the water,' and that it's probably time to release the fish."
While release isn't set by it, all do feel there is a better chance of early ocean survival if those fish have food in there bellies when they head out. "We've been doing that 12 years now and it's really showing promise," says Dr. Powell. They now we want to expand the program down to the Oyster River so there is data not only for the Discovery Passage but also the Oyster River estuary. "We are extremely proud of this program because it not only brings together all the partners, but also looks at primary ocean productivity and early marine survival of those smolts."
Another longstanding program they are proud of is looking at sea lice on wild fish caught in different areas; i.e. those that have and those that don't have salmon farms. They also work with the farmers to do a variety of studies on sea lice on their fish.
"We're starting to get a really good picture of where this is going," says Jim. "Depending on the oceanic conditions the wild fish have, or don't have, different types of lice on them. It's really not a factor of where they are caught. It looks more like a case of, 'What was last years' migration of salmon from the Alaska waters and the oceanic temperatures?' We're still working on statistical validation, though it appears the oceanic conditions are more of an influence then anything we can do."

What Harald did was unthinkable, at least for the early 2000~2007 period during which Fragment was different. He was decades ahead of his time, but it was still to a vaguely believable extent. There are still a number of issues, but what he accomplished was only on the level of "incredible", and not "completely ridiculous", at least in as far as the series' fictional world goes.
Amagi Jyotaro's Real Digitalization is completely ridiculous. I'm not an expert on the subject, but I'm pretty sure transforming humans into light particles and storing them in a computer will not be possible for a long time. Even if, decades from now, someone manages to turn matter into information and store it accordingly, it'll still take decades of research to reach a point where digitalizing living beings would be possible. I can believe that Harald discovered a method to weaken the boundaries between the human mind and digital information. I can believe that Amagi Jyotaro was a brilliant enough man to duplicate that method. What I can't believe is that Amagi Jyotaro manage to complete go beyond those steps and figure out how to turn a fourteen-year-old boy into a Digimon.

Weekend is over, back to work!
I didn't get any shots of in the air, just as they were coming down and landing. It's hard to have your camera lined up for action shots, plus my hands were cold!
Sweetie let Kari ride his Summit which is capable of much higher speeds than the Tundra she was on. After this, he took the Summit back. We had joked about staying away from the trees (I too have driven straight into a tree) but somehow Kari was a magnet for this little bunch. She flipped over the front of the machine and walked away with a few bumps and bruises. Nothing serious. We have now named her "Crash"!
Kari back on the Tundra and ready to head home.
Bye bye cabin! We hope to see you soon!
Today is our 28th Wedding Anniversary. Since we both have to work, we are going to go out for dinner and a movie tomorrow night to celebrate. I was counting back over time and realize I was only 22 when we got married. He was 20. I look at kids who are only 20 or 22 now and think that no way are they old enough to get married! Yet, I guess we were! I still love my sweetie more now than ever.

You should be able to get out of it without removing the batteries. Pressing the ON button (not 2nd ON) will end any TI-Basic program. If you really want to annoy someone, set up an infinite loop that waits for their input, but make it give a bogus result (or fake error) for everything they enter.
fun prank. Thanks for sharing.

* Attendees of my City Club speech yesterday filled two very big boxes with toys for the kids in Lutheran Social Services of Illinois' child-care program. It was so cool seeing all those folks walk into Maggiano's carrying their toys.
I thought we'd also try to raise a little cash money yesterday, so I stationed two LSSI staffers at the back of the room and told the crowd that we were going to pass the hat.
A presentation had been given a few minutes before I spoke encouraging folks to participate in the Special Olympics' Chicago Polar Plunge…
The spirit of charity got the better of my brain, because I pledged to take that polar plunge if attendees contributed at least $1,000. We raised over $2,000 in cash. Anne Dias-Griffin (yes, that Anne Dias-Griffin) wrote a $1,000 check, saying she wanted to make sure I took that plunge. Mrs. Griffin's generous donation brought our total to over $3,000.
I hope I survive.
* The LSSI folks asked me to pose for a photo holding the bowl of cash and standing between the toy boxes…
Have fun, and thanks so much to everyone who attended and contributed. Many thanks to Paul Green and the City Club for inviting me and helping with the toy and cash drive.
If you couldn't be there, well, you can still donate to LSSI today by clicking here. Thanks!

"China Off Center topples the parable of chinese language monolithism, and opens how you can a view of China that's extra plural, extra human, and truer.

The e-book offers scholarly writing that's right away authoritative and a excitement to read." --- Andrew J. Nathan, classification of 1919 Professor of Political technology, Columbia college

Not sure if any of you are Nirvana fans, but being a teenager in the 90's- they definitely had a big impact on my high school years. Impacting the music industry, as well as the culture of the generation. One might say that Nirvana was to the 90's as the Beatles were to the 60's. There is a plethora of similarities and band mythologies that both bands share.
Most notable for me as it pertains here would have to be the "In Bloom" video. The entire video for this song is a parody of the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. The screaming girls, the black and white footage. But what is interesting is during the video, the band switches into their "alternate egos" (Doubles/Doppelgangers) where the seemingly squeaky clean image of the band are now in drag, tearing up the set and damaging their instruments. All while singing "He's the one, he likes our pretty songs, and he likes to sing along but he don't know what it means." The screaming girls in the audience seem to scream even louder for their Nirvana idols (which the host continues to pronounce incorrectly) while parading their alternate selves.
The Nirvana story is quite interesting- and really worth looking into from a Beatle Mystery perspective. There is an alternate version of "In Bloom" recorded in 1991 before the sudden replacement by Dave Grohl on drums and their huge success (sound familiar)? Nirvana had a revolving door of drummers early on, but their most famous (and longest-running) drummer of course was Dave Grohl. Dave Grohl was from Washington DC, and auditioned for Nirvana after the break-up of his band- Hardcore Punks Scream. Not from Seattle or the Washington (state) area- but from 3000 miles away… in the nations capital… To audition for a little-known punk band from Aberdeen Washington…. hmm. Curious. More on Grohl in a moment.
Here is the replaced drummer looking through the "walrus hole" from that video.
There were rumors floating about since at least 1992 that Nirvana was breaking up. Kurt Cobain was not well, and suffered from stomach ailments which had seemed to be getting worse. They decided not to tour after their hugely successful album's release- Nevermind, and the band was undergoing legal matters in which Kurt wanted 75% of songwriting royalties paid retroactively to him by Krist and Grohl. The uneasy band members owed Kurt a significant amount of money after the legal battle had completed, and the group dynamic never really recovered.
From Wiki:
Citing exhaustion, Nirvana decided not to undertake another American tour in support of Nevermind, instead opting to make only a handful of performances later that year. In March 1992, Cobain sought to reorganize the group's songwriting royalties (which to this point had been split equally) so that they were more representative of the fact that he wrote the majority of the music. Grohl and Novoselic did not object to Cobain's request, but when the frontman asked for the agreement to be retroactive to the release of Nevermind, the disagreements between the two sides came close to breaking up the band. After a week of tension, Cobain ended up receiving a retroactive share of 75 percent of the royalties, and bad feelings about the situation remained within the group afterward. Amid rumors that the band was disbanding due to Cobain's health, Nirvana headlined the closing night of England's 1992 Reading Festival, where Cobain personally programmed the performance lineup. Nirvana's performance at Reading is often regarded by the press as one of the most memorable of the group's career
Oddly enough, a small publishing company called Primary Wave owns the rights to the entire Nirvana Catalogue of music, and in 2007 Julian Lennon sold the licensing rights to his share of Beatles music royalties to Primary Wave- whom at the time was a brand new company- less than a year old, running out of New York. Source
Another strange synchronicity between the Beatles and Nirvana was the use of broken and beheaded dolls within one of their photo shoots. Nirvana and the Beatles were no where near the first or only artists to use such imagery- not by a long shot. But what does it all mean exactly? Just another avant-garde attempt at modern (really morbid) art? Or is there something more? Below are some photos of the "doll parts" imagery- The Beatles Butcher Cover, A Photo Shoot of Kurt Cobain months before his death as well as Rothschild Party decor. Cute party centerpiece hmm? Really sets the mood….
I am not going to delve further into the Rothschild Elite Dinner Party in this blog, if interested in learning more on the Rothschild dinner party go here or here Or a thousand other google hits on the subject.
Notice how Kurt's doll head picture is quite similar to Paul from the Butcher album. Paul of course having the "Paul is Dead" mythology(?) surrounding his character, and Kurt having a murder conspiracy surrounding his. The roses in Kurt's photo could symbolize secrecy, for roses are often a symbol of silence and/or secrecy, and he is prominently featured under them (sub-rosa):
The use of the rose as a symbol for silence or secrecy goes back to the ancient Egyptians or Greeks, where initiates into the "mysteries," or pre-Christian religions, wore roses during ceremonies to indicate that they would keep inviolate any secrets that were passed on to them. In many countries it was customary to hang a rose over secret meetings or gatherings—hence the term sub-rosa (literally "under the rose") to mean confidential. Source
Another interesting tidbit featuring this imagery is Roman Polanski's (yes- THAT Roman Polanski) short film, "Lampa" which features dolls and doll parts throughout the film, as well as reverse dialogue and overall creepiness in true Polanski style. I should mention that Polanski and the Beatles have a long interwoven odd history, especially pertaining to John Lennon and Yoko Ono. But we will have to save that for another blog.
I would be doing a huge disservice to the information in this blog, if I did not mention Hole's video "Doll Parts". Hole's frontwoman of course is no other than Courtney Love- Kurt Cobain's widow. (Is Love all you really need??) If familiar with the Nirvana story and its conspiracies, then you are already well aware of the alleged suspicions surrounding Love's involvement in Cobain's death. It would only make sense, then that Hole would release a single titled "Doll Parts" mere months after Cobain's untimely death…
This all may be random, meaningless coincidence, but I call it meaningful synchronicity. These people are artists, they are well versed in symbolism. It is my belief that they are trying to tell a story- a hidden story submerged in symbolism that we should be actively seeking answers to. One could easily chock the whole thing up to random coincidences; however when you realize that Kurt Cobain was a HUGE Beatles fan things may not be as random as first me(a)ts the eye.
Kurt was heavily influenced and inspired by the Beatles, particularly John Lennon it seems. Here, Kurt talks about his adoration of the Beatles and some of the influences they have had on his life.
"About a Girl" was written after Kurt Cobain spent an entire afternoon listening to Meet The Beatles! repeatedly. At the time, Cobain was trying to conceal his pop songwriting instincts, and he was reluctant to include the song on Bleach for fear of alienating the band's then-exclusively grunge fan base. Years later, Butch Vig, who produced Nirvana's 1991 breakthrough album Nevermind, would cite "About a Girl" as the first hint that there was more to Nirvana than grunge. "Everyone talks about Kurt's love affair with… the whole punk scene, but he was also a huge Beatles fan, and the more time we spent together the more obvious their influence on his songwriting became," Vig told the NME in 2004. Source
At age 2, Kurt was recorded by his Aunt singing "Hey Jude" by the Beatles. No doubt this boy was influenced by them.
Kurt Cobain also collaborated with William Burroughs shortly before his death, making a piece titled "The "Priest" They Called Him". Cobain scored and played the soundtrack (background "noise" according to wikipedia) whilst Burroughs did the reading. The "Priestly" character in the story promptly sells a suitcase filled with severed legs (more Doll Parts?) in order to score a heroin "fix" (Cause he's going down….). Burroughs of course is on the cover of Sgt. Pepper, and featured directly above Paul McCartney.
In Call Me Burroughs, a biography by Barry Miles- William Burroughs had a studio in London in which Paul McCartney would visit from time to time, to play with tape effects, and make recordings. It has also been claimed (can't find a source other than Iamaphoney– not a good source for credibility sake) that Burroughs once claimed to have given the idea of backmasking hidden lyrics to John Lennon, which he obviously ran with.
With all the connections and "weird Beatle Coincidences" we see between Nirvana and the Beatles as laid out here in this blog- it should also come as no surprise that after 20 years, in 2012 Nirvana had a reunion. But since Kurt could obviously not be there for the occasion, the obvious Kurt replacement would be none other than Sir Paul McCartney of course. Sir Paul is a great substitute for Kurt- being as they are both left-handed guitarists.
Macca said this to the SUN magazine: "McCartney had an amusing narrative to The Sun about how the collaboration came together. He said that they "just make something up" and found himself playing with the band. "I didn't really know who they were. They are saying how good it is to be back together. I said, 'Whoa? You guys haven't played together for all that time?' And somebody whispered to me, 'That's Nirvana. You're Kurt.' I couldn't believe it," he gushed." source
It should also be no surprise that the reunion just happened to take place on 12/12/12 (= 3/3/3 or simply 9) at a benefit concert for Hurricane Sandy, or that two of the songs performed were "Helter Skelter" and "Cut Me Some Slack". The latter the "New" Nirvana received a Grammy award.
Paul McCartney since has shared many experiences with Dave Grohl. Most notable, at The Beatles 50th anniversary of the "British Invasion" televised event, Grohl performed several Beatles hits- including "Hey Bulldog". They have been seen often times together since the 2012 Sandy benefit concert in New York.
Also interesting, On March 31st, 2001 the media announced that McCartney had bought a $4 million, 4,700-square-foot house in the Hollywood Hills from Courtney Love. Strangely… this is the same home that George Harrison died in a few months later in November. There is much more to this story- you can read all about it here.
As usual, synchronicity proves nothing. It just makes you stop for a moment and try to "see" what is happening around you. I have heard it said that "observing and recognizing Synchronicity is a clue that you are on the right path." Whether that is the case here or not, I sure seem to notice these "weird Beatles coincidences" quite often through my studies of this awesome band.
Both Bands changed the paradigm of the young influential minds of the era. Both bands influenced the culture, and language, the fashion and the mindset of their fans. Both bands introduced a new sound to the music industry- The Mersey Sound from Liverpool, and Grunge Rock from Seattle – respectively. Both bands were open and actively promoted and glamorized the use of drugs. Both bands were larger than life to their fans and dominated the airwaves for quite some time. Both bands used similar symbolism in their music and in their art. Both bands collaborated with some of the same artists and admirers. Both bands have conspiracy theories involving the death of their beloved frontman. The list goes on and on.
Nirvana may not quite have made it to the same dizzying heights as the Beatles did- but it could be said that they came closer than any band has. Nevermind, the band's most successful album, has sold over 30 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums ever. What achievements might they have accomplished if Kurt's life wasn't ended so suddenly and tragically, we will never know. What similarities between Nirvana and the Beatles have you noticed? I would love to hear about them in the comments below:
… To Be Continued…
I would like to give a big thank you and credit where credit is due to all of the extraordinary ladies and gentlemen at "Strawberry Fields Beatles Mysteries" group on Facebook. The combined efforts of all my dear friends, collaborators and contributors continue to amaze and inspire me every day. Most (if not all) of my blogs have come as a direct result of subject matter and discussions within this wonderful group. Come see where the magic happens if you like what you see on thenumbernineblog. Thanks again everyone- you know who you are!!

The tweet read "….Brand is the answer, period. Or you are replaceable? A commodity?" Time to stop and reflect a little, I thought! It was one of those "Aha" moments calling me to reflect on our vision, think what we have achieved so far and perhaps refocus for the future. Some interesting thoughts emerged.
The corner stone of everything Paradise Rescued does is Sustainability. We may have started out by "just wanting to maintain the vineyard" in Cardan but inevitably in order to realise that goal, we have to pay for that pleasure and that implies a commercial focus, marketing and selling wine. Given our starting position in the vineyards, we had hoped to simply make reasonable wine, but we hadn't counted on an incredible vineyard team producing a very high quality (almost unique) product. We never thought about a lovely logo and what impact that would have on our potential customers and the fact that we were inadvertently creating a brand. As an engineer, none of this used to make any sense. Today, I know it will be our greatest asset – and I proudly wear our brand every single day without exception. Paradise Rescued is and will continue to be promoted as a brand. Our beautiful 100% organically produced Cabernet Franc Cloud9 is therefore a sub brand. Wait until you learn about our new 2012 CabMerlot….
This means that now we really have a brand and have as much passion for that brand as we do for our wine, we can start to leverage that brand to support the bigger sustainable long term vision. And so you will see on our web site under Sales, we have introduced a Zazzle Paradise Rescued branded products site, operating in four countries around the world. We will be highlighting and sharing a few photos like the Paradise Rescued coffee mug here on our social media sites over the coming weeks.
By the way, we hope you will be able to see some more of Monika Elling's challenging thinking – we have asked her to be our guest blogger in the coming weeks. We will also be featuring Tricia Wiles from Sweet Graphic Design, who designed our beautiful logo that inspired the development of the brand. Stay tuned and if you don't want to miss anything, don't forget to subscribe to our monthly newsletter below.

Minty, red and white, sweet to the soul. Good enough reasons to have candy canes! As décor, as food, they're a true seasonal sweethearts.(I kind of wish I could have them all round the year….nah, then they wouldn't be as special) Hang'em on the tree, put'em in the stockings, add a special touch to gifts. I've also used them in a couple of recipes so far, they spice up the flavor, and make me feel all festive on the inside. AWW. Make sure you get some too!
So todays the 4th of December. Time to be getting the gifts….haha if you're organized that is. Put on some festive socks, eat a candy cane ;), and belt out your guts to a carol. Christmas is coming, y'all!

This past week brought us the newest trailer for Michael Bay's Transformers: Age of Extinction. If you haven't seen it, shame on you: it's beautifully chaotic. There is no other film in the history of cinema where a robot that turns into a truck rides atop a robot that turns into a dinosaur who stabs the bad guy with his tail and then rips said bad guy with his teeth.
With the latest trailer came some hopes of improvement from the previous films: the robots are the main driver of the plot, there is no sign of the U.S. military, the action is not shaky, and–wait, did we just mention plot? In a Transformers film? What madness is this?
Yes, apparently there is a cohesive story that this film is going to present to us, but aside from a few hints from the trailers and toy packaging, we really have no idea what is going to happen in this film. We put together four mysteries that Age of Extinction is presenting to us, because wild speculation is the bread and butter of life and web hits.
"The Rules Have Changed." This was the very first tagline the film's marketing department presented us with. With the Decepticons essentially extinct after the events of 2011's Transformers: Dark of the Moon, humankind is pretty much tired of giant robots making Earth their playground, and they want Optimus Prime and friends dead–apparently creating their own mech warriors to do the deed. Since Age of Extinction and its advertising has not been shy about this plot point, it may not be seen as much of a mystery. And yet, we see the Autobots defending the humans (with Mark Wahlberg next to Stanley Tucci yelling OH MY GOD! so loud that God is now deaf) in what we can only assume is the third act of the film.
And then there is Kelsey Grammar, who, despite being promoted as the main human bad guy in the film, has only been seen in a single shot in the trailers. A single shot. Despite being the "lead villain". What secret is he hiding, why is he hunting the Autobots down, and does he have a secret agenda?
Of course, the Autobots end up having to protect the humans from something. Perhaps even Grammar's character. What is it that takes the humans step in it so big that Optimus apparently goes from having his friends hit them in the face with wheels to riding giant lizard bots into battle to protect them?
Speaking of ginormous lizards…
Depending on the year and source, the Dinobots are either an elite group of Autobots who found their way to Earth in the past and took on the most powerful local creatures, or WHEELJACK BUILT THEM IN A CAVE—WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS.
Grimlock, leader of the Dinobots, has been front and center in every trailer thus far. And we've seen glimpses of Strafe, the two-headed amalgamation of the original Dinobot Swoop and his Technobot namesake. What we don't have any clue is how the Dinobots came to Earth, why they came to Earth, and where their importance lies in terms of the plot of the film.
The Dinobots have firepower. Major firepower. Their size and sheer might is immensely beneficial to the regularly outnumbered Autobot cause. So their triumphant ride into battle with the Autobots means there is some threat beyond the human-powered mechs that requires their extra help. And Bay has conspicuously been hiding shots of the other (three? five? more?) Dinobots in action.
He has also been hiding another mystery character.
Screenwriter Ehren Kruger is known for using existing Transformers stories as inspirations for his scripts. Dark of the Moon was loosely (very loosely) based on two multi-part episodes from the original series, "The Ultimate Doom" and "Megatron's Master Plan". It also included nods from other stories, from The Xantium spaceship to Megatron sitting on Abraham Lincoln's chair to Sentinel Prime being a dick. So it may come as no surprise to see a more recent Transformers character, Drift, be adapted to film.
What is surprising, however, is that while Drift doesn't have tons of backstory, the background he does have is interesting, and we have thus far only seen him in the far background of a few frames in one of the trailers. Blink, and you'll miss him. It is almost like he doesn't exist, but you don't hire an actor of Ken Watanabe's caliber to voice a nobody. And you don't choose a character like Drift unless you're going to tap into the background that makes him unique from most other Autobots.
Who is Drift? An Autobot who used to be a Decepticon. An unapologetic, mass-murdering Decepticon with lots of swords to stab Autobots with. Drift has killed many of Optimus Prime's friends, and considering Prime's penchant in film continuity for taking the faces of his enemies, having Drift as one of his allies is curious. How did Drift become an Autobot? In 2010's Transformers: Drift published by IDW Publishing, he crashed on a distant planet and encountered the Circle of Light, Transformer scientists and scholars who left the Cybertronian war ages ago and showed Drift the way of peace. In that story, Drift was hunted by a bounty hunter hired by Megatron, who looked to obtain the secrets and power of the Circle of Light. That bounty hunter's name?
The main villain of Age of Extinction.
It all might very well be connected.
Megatron died on Earth years ago, so it wasn't him.
Cybertron was destroyed at the end of the previous film, so that's a big zero there.
And humans, no matter how big of an asshole they may be in this film, have no means to contact a Cybertronian bounty hunter to come for the Autobots, since they are intent on handling things themselves.
So, the big question, and likely something that won't be revealed until the climax of the film: who hired Lockdown to come to Earth for Optimus Prime?
Three guesses, all of which would have major ramifications for the franchise and take this new trilogy in a completely different direction.
1) The Quintessons, aliens who once claimed to be the creators of the Transformers. The Quints enslaved and sold the Transformers as consumer goods and wartime products. (I would say look for Transformers: 12,000 Years a Slave in theaters summer 2017, but that would completely destroy the Transformers: Verb of Noun theme the three most recent movies have given us.)
2) Jhiaxus, leader of a separatist Cybertronian group that left the planet ages ago to cyberform other planets and spread freedom in that good ol' American-style manifest destiny.
3) Unicron. Think robot Satan. A robot the size of a planet (once voiced by Orson Welles, a planet of a man) that eats other planets. Imagine the explosions.
Is it possible all of this speculation will lead to a more interesting conversation than the film will be? Does Michael Bay's track record of ignoring the previous characterization of the Transformers in favor of the humans mean we may be in for another disappointing film where the title characters are simply the background? Sure. But Mark Wahlberg tells Prime something in the latest trailer that may very well have come from Bay himself.
"You have to have faith. Maybe not in who we are, but who we can be."
And I have faith that this film will deliver in ways we have yet to see.
Transformers: Age of Extinction is in theaters and IMAX 3D June 26.

Neil Redfearn admitted he had pushed his squad to the limit of their ability after former Leeds United captain Jonny Howson returned to haunt the club last night.
Howson's 57th-minute strike – scored on his first appearance at Elland Road since leaving Leeds for Carrow Road in 2012 – set Norwich up for a 2-0 win and condemned United to a fourth straight defeat. Redfearn voiced satisfaction with an improved display after criticising the effort of his players in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Cardiff City but the Leeds head coach conceded that Norwich's superior quality had shone through in the second half.
Graham Dorrans rounded off City's win with a last-minute strike, leaving Alex Neil's side second in the Championship and on the verge of automatic promotion with three games to play.
Redfearn, whose team remain in 15th place, said: "We've squeezed absolutely everything out of this group. It's got a shelf-life and it takes you so far.
"The difference is apparent when you come up against a Norwich because they've got quality. If we're going to get promoted out of this division then these are the people we've got to compete with.
"Good players cost money. I sound like a cracked record but some of these players at Norwich have got Premier League experience, never mind Championship experience. You can see the difference in a tight game with nothing in it."
Leeds almost snatched a draw late on when Alex Mowatt forced a full-length save from Norwich keeper John Ruddy but City dominated the second half and Dorrans' effort prompted wild celebrations in the away dug-out.
United have gone five games without a victory and Redfearn said: "I'm disappointed to get beat because results-wise we're not on a good run. But we're going to be a Championship side next year. I was really disappointed with how we played against Cardiff. The performance was far, far better but there's a reason why Norwich are second."
