Hello Hopeful,
And, welcome to the forum. You have found this forum no doubt because you are seeking something. We all are actually seeking truth, health, and knowledge. All this, the Elixir can give, and Nick can attest to this. If you are new to alchemy, then you aren't alone of this forum, there are several people that are fairly new to alchemy. The simple dew path that Nick has in his book is a great place to start. You can download a copy of it on the forum home page. It does take some time, the first part of the process takes almost 6 and a half months. It's a long time, but it's worth the wait. I could be wrong, but I don't think that anyone lives close to you, but like I said, I could be wrong. I believe though that the best way to obtain the Elixir is to make it yourself. Knowing that through your own effort, you were able to heal yourself. To me, that is the greatest accomplishment. Anyway, welcome to the forum.
Dreamnotez, I think you are right about us possibly not knowing the truth, I mean what if we are all wrong? I guess the only person right now that knows is Nick.
Oscar, you can talk about Qaballah if you choose, but from the way you were wording it, it sounded like you were trying to convert someone away from God. I don't think Nick would like that very much. After all, we all agree that everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I'm pleased to see there are a few women on this forum and races other than white. For far too long alchemy has been kept in the realm of only white males, yet ironically alchemy originated in Egypt.

You are absolutely right. Even though I am black I have been for some reason always interested in alchemy. I dont know if there are any other blacks here. But I do know that I dont really care about what I or anyone else looks like. We all look the same. And that is a fact!

I was brought into this world on July 10, 1988 and given the name Matthew. raised in a christian family, had a great childhood spending everyday outdoors climbing trees. Had terrible, vivid and very real nightmares from as far back as i can remember until i was about 8, when my dad had a native friend make a dreamcatcher for me, and i didn't remember any dreams until i was about 14 after that.
I got interested in energy work when i was 12, started cultivating the energies in my different chakras and making chi balls, charging water, healing, seeing auras, etc. i was babtized when born, and chose to be baptized again when i was 11, but shunned christianity as my religion when i turned 13. all i was sure of was that everything is energy.
spent most of my time watching tv, movies, and playing way too many video games until i was 18. i then met a high priest who happened to be living in fort wayne, and he taught me much about christianity vs. paganism, using runes, stone magic, seeing orbs, etc. i called myself pagan after meeting him. shortly afterwards, i felt a very strong inclination to start travelling, so i left fort wayne IN and headed towards south bend. got a ride with a friend, and stayed outside for a few days while visiting a female friend of mine. things went bad in a few days, there was a lot of heartache, so i left to hitchhike and travel freely until i found myself. ended up hitching through illinois, missouri, oklahoma, texas, and through new mexico eventually to albequerque. hopped the amtrack and got a free ride all the way back to chicago, and knew from that point that i had to keep exploring. the greatest moment of that journey was in roswell NM when i was sitting under a bridge that seperated downtown from desert. there were literally hundreds of different sorts of birds there, all singing and chirping in different languages, when i realized that all of them were on the same vibration and here and now is all there is, and true communication cannot be measure by the words emanating from vocal chords in the same language.
I stayed in fort wayne for a while, working with my dad installing telecommunication equipment in different sorts of phone offices all over Indiana, and decided it was time to leave again shortly after my 19th birthday. so i left on the 18th of july, following a vision i had had in the earlier part of my previous journey, an old shaman telling me "GO SOUTH". i headed south.
Travelled through indiana, kentucky, tennessee, georgia, back up to tennessee, and then hitchhiked to seattle, WA in about 3 days. i recieved my calling directly before i left Nashville for Seattle; i had just gotten off of a very negative drug, and was looking desperately for somewhere to relax when i happened upon a pagan coffee shop. i walked in, got some water, and sat down. a man a few years my elder came up to me and asked how my day was, i told him "not so good, i'm $700 in debt now, lost track of the only guy that was keeping me safe in these projects, and my greyhound ditched me, so i'm left with this useless non-refundable ticket. all my stuff was on the greyhound." and he said "Well, you're here because you're supposed to meet me, and i'm here to give you this - (he handed me the most beautiful clear quartz crystal i've ever seen) - my family has done reiki for several generations, and this crystal's been passed down- i want you to have it. it will bring you everything you want, everything you need." and it did. i made it from there to seattle in 4 days, between 3 different truckers, one of which was a powerful reiki healer who taught me about transcendental meditation and told me some amazing stories.
once i got to seattle, everything started falling into place. i met buddhists, healers, sorcerers, magicians, druids, and even political figureheads seemingly everywhere i went. met a man named Will P. Wilson, who helped design radionics, the internet, 3d holographic imaging systems and several other forbidden technologies. met the dali lama's nephew, met the woman who, to the best of my understanding and incorporated into the house of stuart should be the heir to the throne of england, Michael, and absolutely amazing individual who is very powerful and taught me endless things i will appreciate forever who shall remain unnamed......i was left speechless. i had the opportunity to partake of mushrooms on several occasions, which i feel helped me percieve several differant realms and solidify their existence in my mind, and expand my conciousness and awareness of the here and now. i began meditating, channeling spirits, intensly cultivating my surroundings, direct manifestation, past life regression (i was an alchemis in the 1920's, don't remember all of it but lots of bits and pieces, name was Felix Madhouse), slight telepathy and more empathy than i'd already had. i kept working on astral projection, but i never had the definite OBE that others talk about, and whenever i was out of my body, it was hard for me to concretely know that i wasn't just making a body for myself to travel through other realms created in my imagination, not the actual astral realm. i managed to achieve it a few times in my sleep, but a few of them were aided by rituals performed by my sorceror brother.
after a good 5 months in seattle, i went to eugene OR to check it out. i met several members of grateful dead family, someone who personally knew all of the members and several "high-ups" in the psychedelic realm, and several very spiritual people who helped me to see things from more viewpoints. had a bad accident getting hit by a truck while on foot, have a permanant limp in my left knee from it. went from eugene through iowa and utah to the national rainbow gathering in wyoming, held on a mountain top about 8900 feet up. spent some time with a young, amazingly talented iChing master who gave me some very uplifting readings, and spent time dancing around campfires, smoking and playing and singing. went from there back to eugene, spent about a week there.
found a girl in eugene that i had an amazing connection with, unlike any i've ever felt, and i knew i knew her in other lives, and she did too, so we stayed with eachother and planned a handfasting, knowing that we were soulmates. we spent about 5 weeks after meeting up travelling through california, made it as far as pismo beach, back up to san jose, and got free bus tickets back to eugene. once back in eugene, we spent a few days apart, and when we met back up, something in her had changed significantly, and she didn't want to be with me anymore. i went back to seattle.
once back in seattle, i was thrust into learning all new things, including how to make hydrogen generators, tesla coils, general information on several other inventions by nikola tesla, radionics, *monatomic elements are NOT to be discussed on this forum!, zero-point technologies, and endless, endless government conspiracy theory. it was actually after learning about *monatomic elements are NOT to be discussed on this forum! that i became more interested in alchemy, found nick's site, and began with his technique of drawing *monatomic elements are NOT to be discussed on this forum! iridium and rhodium out of grape juice concentrate. it wasn't until i left seattle finally and came back to indiana that i looked much deeper into the site, reading everything i could, and found the new site, with "The Universal Medicine".
i'm now still in indiana, figuring out how to get a place of residence that is private and affordable, and likewise, how to make money for acquiring such a place to make the elixer. there aren't really any jobs available, but i have faith the the universe will provide when i need, and i need by may. i fully intend to use dew from the full moon in may and put a lot of time and care into the process.
thank you for suffering this long story, namaste, blessed be-

Hello all. My name is Ben, I currently live in Wisconsin in the country with my folks. I am 23, about to go on 24 this April. My mother is Iranian Assyrian Jewish/Swedish, and my father is Austrian/English. I identify most strongly with my Iranian Assyrian Jewish heritage. I was born, alive by the Grace of G-d, six weeks premature. That's a whole story in itself, so I'll try to condense it a bit. Really there is no reason, except for the power of prayer and the mercy of our creator, that I am alive at all this day. My mother's kidneys were failing and I was limp as biscuit. She was dying and I was dying inside her. On my pre-birth Apgar I had a score of 2 (that was only because my heart was still beating), and the doctors thought they were going to deliver a dead baby. Now, because of the position I was in, the C-section was going to be performed vertically. Thank G-d for the nurse. As my mother was being prepped for C-section, the nurse turned to my mother and asked if she could pray for me. The moment she laid her hands on my mother's belly, I moved (for the first time in two weeks) into the exact position the surgeons needed me in to perform a normal C-section. I was delivered weighing at one and one-half lbs. breathing ROOM air. I was a documented medical miracle. So, needless to say, I started things out with a bang. During my childhood, my father was involved in dark spiritual matters that tended to result in demonic manifestations in the household. So from a very young age I have been in a strong connection with the spirit realm and a lot of the stuff that's going on over on that side. I have placed a few posts here and there on this forum about that, but I think Nick erased them and that's totally Ok because this forum really is supposed to be about the work with dew. If anybody wants to hear more of my personal experiences and thoughts on that stuff, you can e-mail me through the forum here. (why I started with the story of my birth, I really don't know) Anyway, I still maintain a strong connection to the Spirit realm to this day. Now for a bit more about my current state of affairs. I am graduated from college with a double major in Philosophy and Humanities with a minor in History. I plan to return to grad school in 2010 at Madison for my PhD in either Hebraic studies or history of science. More likely, both. Then I'll probably move into Naturopathic medicine. I am currently (that means I try to be…) Torah observant Jewish, but (interestingly) I also believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of G-d. I therefore hold both the Old and the New testaments as instruction manuals for my life and how I live it. This means most people from the Jewish community would consider me heretical or a Christian (I don't consider myself a Christian), and most people from the Christian side of things kinda look at me funny because I still follow all these Jewish practices and scratch their heads wondering why I don't believe in the Holy Trinity. Now, I love studying other religions (Zen Buddhism, Daoism, Hinduism, Yoga, Vedanta, Gita, something I call Natural Spiritualism) and I try to take what I can incorporate into my own path. So I'm pretty open and eclectic when it comes to faith, even though I hold to a fairly strict set of beliefs. I have studied the Bible, Jewish doctrine, Christian doctrine, and Western religious history and continue to do so assiduously. I have also studied Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) which has enabled me to assimilate a lot more into my faith path and helped me to become far more accepting and adaptable to the compatible truths I find outside my own system. For those of you who like labels and nice neat packages, I'll be hard pressed to give it to you because my belief system is so complex. I'm sorry. Moving on, I can read biblical Hebrew fluidly, trope it (that means follow the cantillation marks for singing the Torah), understand it…kinda, and translate it well enough with a few cool tools I have (none of them electronic, by the way). I can muddle my way through a little New testament Greek very slowly, und ich spreche ein bischen Deutsch, aber meine Wortschatz, Gramatik und Auschreibung ist slecht! Politically, I am a hardcore, militant Zionist, anti-abortion, anti-Islamofascism, against homosexual marriage, pro-gun, pro-sword, pro-women and pro-death-penalty which means I usually try to stay out of political conversations because I really don't like offending people and I don't want to get myself in trouble. I think the only thing that I find I agree on with a lot of people is the need to protect the environment, lol. By the way, please don't try to start any political/economic/other of that kind of discussion with me or because of my comments here, because I really don't want to get banned from this forum. I like it too much. And anyway, we're here to study Alchemy, not my personal politics! I just said this to let everyone know where I'm at right now and where I'm coming from. So please don't think, if you are on the other side of some of these issues, that I'm attempting to convince you that you're wrong or that I don't respect you. I hope it is clear that I do. Finally, I love martial arts (Okinawan Karate, Wing Chun, Aikido, Iaido, Kendo, Taijiquan, Xingyiquan, Baguazhang, free-form sparring, etc.) Whew, that was quit a bit. Sorry for the whole Megillah (Jewish version of 'enchilada', but it doesn't mean that). Thanks for reading. I hope I didn't offend anyone…if I did, I really am sooooo sorry. Please forgive my ignorance.

thank you, crestington
i actually was typing it a day earlier and it was twice as long, but the page just went back and erased it all so i decided to wait a day and shorten it up. the only thing really amazing, to me, is how significantly everything changed once i turned 18, it's ridiculous. i used to write a lot of poetry and short stories as well, but i haven't written in a while.....never much had a hand for painting/drawing and the like. and as far as heritage goes, i'm "white", but i am a mut, with a little native (which tribe i don't know- there's a story in my mom's family about it), irish, scottish, english, german.....and i also spent a lot of time in high school years studying philosophy, the tao, zen, buddhism, and much about the beat generation.
sorry if this is TMI, i just want to make it apparant i have nothing to hide or hold back. i really enjoy one on one conversation about all sorts of ideas and theories, if anyone ever would like to exchange and build upon eachother's ideas my email is email@example.com and it's dedicated to the st.mary's river, one going through my hometown, and sadly one of the dirtiest in the country. love!

If you are writing an email or a post and something goes wrong, and you accidentally delete everything, just press CTRL+Z and it will undo the last action, bringing back all your hard work.
I've also learned that it's a good idea to copy your email to the clipboard right before you hit "send" just in case your session has timed out, because in that case CTRL+Z doesn't work to recover your work.

Since this is the thread about getting to know some of the people of this forum, I want to say that I appreciate those people who aren't shy and decided to post their photo instead of art in the avatar.
When you look at the person's photo while you read their words, it's much more like having a conversation, and subconsciously you feel like you are engaged in conversation.
Also it really just drives me nuts when people hide behind the computer and don't even tell you their real name. Of course they could be posting a photo of someone else, but eventually everyone here who makes the stone will be psychic, so you wouldn't be able to lie to us for too long. lol
I was gonna put my photo in my avatar, but I already have it on my website and in my youtube videos. But maybe I'll take some other photos for the avatar. This avatar I'm using right now feels a little self righteous or self glorifying. It just looks like I'm trying to present myself as "holier than thou" or some such nonsense.
Some of you may have noticed that I made it impossible to post my name as my initials N.D.C. without the periods between the letters, so anyone how writes "NDC" the message board automatically changes it to ___. I did that so people would just refer to me as "Nick" instead because "NDC" is so impersonal.
It's interesting to see who likes to become friends on a forum, and how many people choose to just remain anonymous and in the dark. And then you have the people who think they are being your friend, but they don't post a photo or post their real name.
Subject: my intro...
Sat Mar 07, 2009 9:08 am
First, Thanks, Nick, for the instructions for the stone and this forum!
I actually found your site via Youtube while looking for videos/info on Orbs.
A little about me...
I am a USer living abroad. While I have had that same general feeling/experiences most of you have, these last months I feel I'm on a fast track to getting the answers I, on and off, have been trying to find all my adolescent to adult life.
These last couple of years have been a real trial for me, which I had attributed to my living situation and my marriage. But, I feel like I am walking out of the fire, so to speak. I don't feel so angry and feel more empowered then ever before. I feel like I am starting to see the bigger picture and am a part of it.
Anyway, I have been reading all your posts and am preparing to make the stone. I will collect the dew this upcoming full moon, if it's possible, and will be collecting the salt from the Mediterranean Sea Beach myself and cleaning it.
Thanks Again, Nick, and all the other board members here.

[Since this is the thread about getting to know some of the people of this forum, I want to say that I appreciate those people who aren't shy and decided to post their photo instead of art in the avatar.]
Thank you for your encouragement Nick, it was not my intention to be shy or hide, this is the first forum I have participated in and so I'm learning the rules of conduct.
My real name is Kathryn
I feel like you Harmony, as you say walking out of the fire. I too am feeling more empowered than ever before and most definitely a part of the bigger picture.
Thank you Nick for creating this friendly loving atmosphere to discover and practice the sacred alchemy. My husband taught me about internal alchemy and together we lived it. With him, together we were transformed and became simply better individuals. Now I feel the same about my friends here, doing this sacred work together with you all, my frequency is raised and everything about my life is better. I am forever grateful.
I have all the equipment in place and just beginning to collect the dew. I love your suggestion Nick about the glass pyramid and believe that's the way I will go forward.
Once again, I am grateful for and sincerely appreciate you all.

If you are interested to know who am i and how i look like here is your chance now.
My name is Dejan Pavlovic, i was born in place called White Church in Serbia.My familly origin is both from Serbian and Hungarian ancestors.
After the war i moved to Budapest to my Hungarian family for two years and finally i settled down in Austria, Vienna where i live for 10 years now.
My interest in forbidden sciences goes back to my childhood since my numerology number is 7 so it is no big surprise.About Alchemy i had very bad opinion because of obscure language and secrecy.Everytime i read about the alchemists care and love for humanitty and in the same time hiding everything from the same fill me with anger.What's the use of wise men when they stick everything to themselves?
Once in one occult forum i uploaded a "secret" fast dry way recipe only for the members of the alchemy section and after they have unpacked the file they discovered Joanne K. Rowling's book "Harry potter and philosopher stone"
My attitude for alchemists changed only towards Nicholas because he realized that secrecy brings no good to the mankind.I believe this knowlegde was given to the humankind as a gift from God and taken away from them by the people who wanted to positioned themselves as mediators between God and men.
That is why i support Nicholas in his quest for truth.

whoops I forgot my name in my post
My name is christopher joseph plachta, born in kelowna, british columbia, canada november 5th, 1984 but through some strange legal error on my birth certificate, as of a year or 2 ago, my name is Joseph Christopher Plachta. I am currently in Griffith, NSW, Australia.
I have facebook and if you want to add me you are welcome to add me (chris plachta). I have photos and stories of my travels and where I am right now.
I have 3 pictures for you
The first picture was from a 45 km bushwalk I did a few months ago
The second picture was a 5 hour canyoning trip in the bluemountains in which my friend lent me her thermals to wear underneath my clothes but didn't realise we'd be swimming through rivers for 3 hours so I had to leave my street clothes in the car.
The 3rd picture was from my birthday, spent it with 4 girls and I (mistakenly) let them do my face.
Edit: I see myself as "The Fool" card for I like to poke fun at myself a little bit and because the path I follow may seem foolish but not to me.

Sun Mar 08, 2009 1:18 am
Although I am a little hesitant to write anything about myself I guess I will jump on the Intro to Me bandwagon. I am sure with my luck someone from my work, past or somewhere will tell me I am not practicing good "OPSEC". On that note, I live in the US near St. Louis, MO and was in the Navy for 7 years in the Intelligence field. I still work in the field on the corporate side so the concept of "OPSEC" is still something I have to preach all the time. This basically means someone, somewhere is watching you trying to figure out what you're doing with less than good intentions. And me being paranoid I always am weary about posting anything about myself, nor have I gotten the most technically savy either on this forum. I do, however check it frequently and post, although I haven't in a while.
Right now I am on the first part of the sand bath in making the alkahest. I did a little over 40 days of Balneo Mary with the heating pad set-up and I retrieved a used digital hot plate from eBay for the sand bath contraption. Pictures on the way as long as I can make sure I don't jack that up as I have before. Don't get me wrong I am not a complete idiot, I can work a computer I guess just somewhere between paranoia, boredom or plain selfishness I haven't posted mine yet. Some dew contraptions people are coming up with are awesome, by the way.
As for a short background I love alchemy and was drawn to it originally about 10 or so years ago while studying in a metaphysics school. I was in my early 20's and a much more spiritual person then. I was always seeking my spiritual purpose in life in some way and seemed convinced I had this unique spiritual purpose. I seemed to be doing well until I realized I was dirt poor and had nothing going for me except a never ending – and often painful quest for what they call enlightenment. So I became determined to become more successful, at least physically anyway and did - slowly. So now I try to blend both my daily life with a life that is grounded in seeking the meaning in things more. I truly have an awareness that there is so much more to life than the day to day grind, but despite meditation, channeled readings, reading all the thousands of books out there, viewing forums, et et et I still struggle to merge the unseen life into my everyday reality. Maybe I always will, I don't know.
All I know is I am busy. I work full time and have three kids under the age of 6, with two of them being 2 year old twins. They are in to everything. They almost got to my area where I have my lab set up, they have got their mischievous eyes on it so I have to find a new place. Like me they are undyingly curious about things. I get the sense that the alkahest works with what the person truly needs and I look forward to making it. It's a long process at least in this manner, and I am ridiculously impatient so it's harder than I thought to wait, I guess I have to learn.
Pictures are enclosed and I have joined the 21st century and can actually upload them now. The second picture is a little old so I put in a recent one of me, wackier though..

Hi Traci, You mentioned you were struggling with the balance of every day life and seeking the deeper things. There's an interesting and similar thread of thought that shows up in a few different religious paths. The most readily accessible are Chasidism and Soto Zen Buddhism. The basic concept, and ultimate resolution of the problem of balancing daily with divine, is the acceptance that the divine is inherent in the daily. If you ever saw the movie "the razor's edge" you know what I'm talking about. It's the idea that one should seek the divine as present in all actions and then attempt to raise the daily practices to a state of spiritual significance. It's a hard path, but it may prove useful to you.
By the way, I only mention these religions so you can see the diverse contexts in which this same mode of spiritual practice arises.

Hi Dreamnotez,
I have read several times your postings "about God" but maybe you should get a little bit more into Qabballah, it will explain that God really does not exist as most of the people understand it...
There is no God... there is Only "THE ONE" which manifest in "THE ONE MIND" and "THE ONE THING" we are how the ONE experiences himself, there is no two, but ONE.
Mercury-Spirit : THE ONE
Sulfur-Soul : how we are individualized from the infinite, but still part of it.
Sal-Body : Matter, The flower of creation, the climax…
Hope this helps...
I don't know anything about the Qabballah I just know what I feel. And I feel together we make up who God is as a whole. kinda like through all our individual experiences God advances. I think because we are part of god- god is within us. And since we're all technically one we must be god or something like that.
although... I feel that perhaps there is a conciousness out there somewhere or within me somewehre that is greater than I am and perhaps hears my prayers and cares when I am crying.
I know Oscar apologized to Val for cutting in with this idea that there is no "God" in Kabbalah... but I wanted to add, that I am also a Kabbalist, from the Hebrew tradition, not religious, but from the original Hebrew - and I would sure love to know what sort of Kabbalah says there is no God... or why even bother making a distinction with what you wrote Oscar -
"There is no God... there is Only "THE ONE" which manifest in "THE ONE MIND" and "THE ONE THING" we are how the ONE experiences himself, there is no two, but ONE. "
you're basically saying "There is no God, there is only "The One"" which is the very very very very same thing that we call God, understanding that name to be a very small and feeble attempt to represent the Ain Sof (the great Infinite and Undefined One), and it is therefore a matter of semantics, no?
And I feel very much the same as you Val, about the Creator...
Very nice.
I have yet to post about myself here. Think I will get to do that soon... Oh and I just read Nick's post about the Avatar and the real name.
Sure thang!!
I agree Nick...
Changing that too and...
my name is Moshe Daniel.
I haven't really hidden anything as I have my website below which links to all of my websites, youtube channel, and myspace...
There's also a link to my bio page, through the www link, and a very long PDF about some special mysteries I discovered that led to many doors opening for me, including understanding my identity. It is quite long, so I will post something shorter here about myself.
Blessings and love to you all,

Here goes some info about me -
My name is Moshe Daniel. I was born Taurus sun - moon in scorpio and Sagittarius rising. I live in Montreal, Canada.
I have always been interested in healing, consciousness, meditation, mystical practices. When I was a very young boy, I had experiences at night of being taken into a big white light, and then remembering nothing until the morning.
I began seeing flashes of light and symbols when I was thirteen and feeling energy flowing in my body around that age. I thought it was magic. I played D & D (Dungeons and Dragons) and had never heard or known anything about Chi, Ki, Prana... The first book that taught me anything was, funny enough, a book on Ninjitsu.
I have had many, many health challenges this life, and have been ill most of my life with one thing or another. The great striving and questing for truth and healing I have done is partly, or mostly perhaps, for this reason. We do what we need... sometimes. It's true for me.
For that reason, also, I wanted to help others heal too, and so I studied to become a naturopathic doctor, and I went on to further my studies in homeopathy, and I am a practicing naturopathic doctor specializing in homeopathy.
I adore and love homeopathy, and it is a medicine and a knowledge that can be synthesized nicely with astrology, kabbalah, alchemy, and I do so in my practice to "understand" the cases before me.
I was born into a Jewish family, and do consider myself Jewish, though there is not a religious bone in my body... as in, I do not practice the Law of Moses, but rather, the One Law of Love, which is the Law of Moses fulfilled. And I do consider Yeshua, Jesus, to have been in the state of the Messiah and regard him as one, if not my #1, greatest inspiration. I am very global minded and love how this forum has brought people from all over the world together.
I have been into Kabbalah for a long time, and have written a book on what I refer to as "The End of Days Kabbalah" - which is a book of Kabbalah that speaks of the Return to Oneness and is really beyond the religious beliefs that often integrate themselves into the Hebrew tradition Kabbalah. The title is "The Letting Go of Free Will."
I also published a book on the philosophy and practice of naturopathic medicine called The Revolution of Naturopathic Medicine.
I am quite into the alternative energy technologies too, and have studied some Nichola Tesla's stuff, as well as John Keely, harmonic resonances, and I studied and experimented with some of the Joe cell technologies, developing my own spherical form of the cell, called the Moe-Joe cell. It has some potential for fuel mileage and performance improvement on cars, though my interest with it is really for the balancing and opening of consciousness effect that it has had on me... wonderful stuff.
From there, and from my understanding of Keely's work, I have been working on developing an alchemically enhanced Moe-Joe cell with precious metals that I called the Sphinx Sphere. I have found therein a possibility for creating another form of the "Great Pattern" - as spoken of in the Emerald Tablets - that, there are a few ways to Rome. My idea for the Sphinx Sphere is to create a large energy field and have them around the world, resonating the vibe of the infinite Love of the Creator. So far, my copper-plated with platinum, silver, and gold, and using bismuth as the core feels really wonderful, especially when it is charged with radiant energy from special circuits that Tesla created, and other inventors like Bedini. The Sphinx Sphere has really helped me move through the layers of consciousness and to heal.
I have been working on an album called "The Psalngs of Solomon" of a sort of folk-rocky poetic style and I hope to launch that very soon.
And that is why I used the username Shlomo - it is the hebrew for Solomon.
I have a bunch of websites linked together within my umbrella website at
(removed by Admin -- no spam allowed on this board)
and the very long bio I have online in part 3 of my bio tells the tale of my life and my life's purpose and some very interesting mysteries I have discovered on the journey... which is ongoing...
Thanks for listening.

The advantages of a pre-filled, closed loop or all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooler are the convenience of installation and improved compatibility over high end air cooling solutions. The use of liquid as heat transfer medium also brings about improved cooling performance at the expense of higher cost. To offer enthusiasts or casual PC users an affordable alternative, SilverStone has released the Tundra TD02-LITE, a liquid cooler with 100% copper base plate, thick leak-proof tubing, and a water block with 0.2mm micro-channels. This feature rich model is an excellent performer for the price and a great entry point for users looking to upgrade their system to liquid cooling.

Place of Birth: Dallas, Texas
Profile: Nikita is your typical southern girl. She loves strutting in her big boots and driving big trucks along the muddy trails of Dallas. She likes getting wet and dirty, especially when naked. She may be a small silicone sex doll but she can bring your biggest sex fantasy to life.
In her free time, Nikita enjoys hunting and shooting her big rifles for fun. She has a toned body and raving personality that makes her even more attractive. She is uninhibited and spontaneous -- exactly what most guys look for. But despite her tough attitude, Nikita is good at taking orders, spreading her legs and bending over as instructed. She acts like a boss in the field and behaves like an animal in bed.
You can do her day in and day out, in the bed or in the sofa. You can take her in any position you want and she will get you hard all the same. You may meet a lot of small silicone sex dolls but Nikita is someone you will never forget.
Likes: Hunting, bull riding, country music, and big servings of steaks and burgers Dislikes: Spicy food and guys with bad behavior
What does she offer sexually? Nikita has everything you could ever want in a small sex doll. Despite her size, she can satisfy your fantasies and provide realistic sex. She can take heavy pounding and even loves it when you hit her real hard. If you can't decide between a real size sex doll and a mini sex doll, Nikita can work wonders for you.
Small sex dolls like Nikita are ideal for men with great sexual stamina and appetite who can keep going on for hours. She is lightweight and compact as a mini sex doll but with bigger features. You can work your hands all day on her large DD breasts and luscious ass. Since she has fully-articulated metallic skeleton, you can get her into any position and experience maximum pleasure the way you want.

I believe it is important for teenagers and young adults to understand the concept of budgets/budgeting and the benefits that come along with it. A budget, also known as a "spending plan" and is an organized outline of income and expenses that can be used to set spending goals and track your earnings. Budgets are a smart financial tool for teens because it can help plan and save for certain expenses whether it be short term or long term. It can cut unnecessary spending habits because a budgeting plan shows what your money was put towards that month, seeing where you could have saved on certain things could make you wiser about future purchases. It's not easy for a teenager to set aside a portion of their paycheck for saving purposes because it usually involves making sacrifices and spending choices. However, creating a budget benefits because it develops lifelong money management skills for a more successful financial future. Discretionary income is an individual's income that is left after spending, investing or saving. It includes money spent on vacations, non-essential things and high priced luxury items that aren't necessarily needed. It relates to people's spending and saving because discretionary income can become a habit and individuals would rather spend money on what they WANT than what they NEED. Tips that I find useful for creating a well-rounded budgeting system is to stay organized. Organization is key for someone trying to make a successful budget because you need to be able to see the amount of money coming in and what the funds are being spent on. Having a certain percentage of your pay check set aside for savings included in your budget will ensure that you never forget to save. Lastly, a useful tip towards budgets is having a reliable way to do so whether it be in a notebook, an excel spreadsheet or a free template that allows you to make one.

One skirt, the sky is the limit!
I decided to participate to the EBEW challenge once again. I love those challenges but can't never remember when they are due. But this time, I got myself informed and I am getting prepared.
The challenge is to wear this Spring biggest trend (a part from pollen allergies): pastels.
I recently bought this mint (?) skirt from G.U. but had yet to wear it. I started thinking about how I could style it. Should I go the color blocking route and pair it with a sweater? Shall I try it with my patchwork jacket? Or just my faux leather jacket? I had so many choices and I could not decide on one. So I tried them all for my series: one item, endless possibilities.
Scarf - Gifted
1- Simple
Scarf - Gifted
Leather jacket - Shimamura
Top - Walmart
Skirt - G.U.
Boots - ABC Mart
2- Jelli
Scarf - Walmart
Scarf - Walmart
Sweater - Thrifted
Tee - Walmart
Skirt - G.U.
Skirt - G.U.
Shoes - Don Don Down
3- Party time
Sequin beret - can't remember where
Open Cardi - Gap
Skirt (worn as dress) - G.U.
Boots - Nine West
4- Wild
Turban - Jerusalem Halal Shop
Printed reversible Jacket - gifted from more than 12 years ago
Sequin top - Forever 21 via Factory 2 U
Skirt - G.U.
Shoes - H&M
So which one is your favorite style? I like the simple ones but the last one by far is my fav. For some reason, the jacket paired with the sequined top just makes me happy. I was giggling all the time I was wearing it, and while I was taking the pics. I just want to go out right now wearing this. But it is not warm enough yet. Think this will be the outfit I post for the challenge on April.

If you are happy with our services and would like to leave a review, please choose one of the following sites:
Great company. My condo was built in 1975, duct work replaced, insulation placed in crawl space and two new Trane units installed. The work was professional with turn-key installation (was out of town). Highly recommend this professional group.
Deborah D.
Fantastic A/C Company!! My A/C went out on Saturday afternoon (of course) and my seven year old along with our furry St. Bernard were miserable all night. I called several A/C companies first thing SUNDAY morning. Everyone I called (if they answered) told me that it would cost at least $99.00 just to come out and give us an estimate. I called Air Velocity at 8:15 A.M. Sunday morning and 30 minutes later (literally) they pulled up! They replaced the capacitor, then spent 1 1/2 hours taking my unit apart and cleaning all the dog hair out. Two hours after they arrived the A/C was back on and working better than ever! The customer service was Outstanding!
Shaikh A.
My AC unit was not cooling unfortunately it happen on a Sunday. I called several others AC companies either they were not available or was going to charge service charge. Finally, I called Air Velocity and Jerry the owner answer the phone he came out within 30 minutes. He fix the problem and was extremely professional, knowledgeable and honest. Highly recommend!!!
Gloria H.
Thanks Jerry for installing my new air conditioning system. The system is running great and I appreciate you fixing my air flow issues. I will tell all my friends about your great services.
C. Stanford, Cedar Park, TX
Great customer service! Jerry was very professional and really knows the HVAC business. He was able to answer all of my questions and helped me save a lot of money. I would definitely recommend this company to everyone needing heating or air conditioning services.
D Tetting - Austin, TX
To whom it may concern; I would like to take a moment to thank Jerry and highly recommend Air Velocity A/C & Heating. I am new to the area but have experience in dealing with the hot southern weather. When I moved into my new home I was greatly disappointed in the air output and seemingly struggling unit I had. Jerry came out at my convenience, told me that I did not need a new system, as I had feared. He did not immediately suggest an upgrade, but went about trying to find solutions to my issues. He did! I can't thank him enough for getting me cool again. Once I get myself settled in to my new place, the first thing I will do is call Jerry to discuss a possible upgrade. He has a customer for life!
We had them install a whole house air cleaner and some new duct work so we could fix hot and cold zones. What Jerry quoted, the work he did, and what he charged at the end where all exactly the same. Honest and easy to work with. I would recommend Air Velocity to anyone in the Austin Area.
Very knowledgeable, quick response and fair price. Thanks Jerry.
I am very confident recommending Air Velocity. Jerry clearly knows what he is doing. He was responsive, thorough, competent, dependable, fair, trustworthy, and fast. I will use Air Velocity in the future.
We are first time home owners, and our A/C stopped working in our house that we just moved into. We called up our home warranty, and they sent Jerry out. He was very thorough and methodical, and along the way he uncovered a botched install job on our A/C, that unfortunately will cost us quite a bit of money. He was able to fix what he could that afternoon and get us our A/C back, and showed and thoroughly explained to us exactly what was all wrong that still needs to be fixed (but couldn't all be fixed that day because of what a huge mess the other company made). He is still helping us on this process, going above and beyond to help us recoup anything that we can. He really knows his stuff, and is very honest. He did the job, and he did the job great, without taking any sort of shortcuts. I would recommend him to everyone I know. Any future HVAC work I have done will be through him, as I know that he is a honest man and that it will be done right the first time he does it.
I've been a General Contractor for 30 years and I've never seen a cleaner job than the one Air Velocity did for me on a HUD Housing project I had in Granger, Tx. I would feel comfortable recommending this company to anyone needing HVAC work done. They know what they're doing!
Highly knowledgeable and informative but best of all - high integrity, honest, and works very hard to delight customers and find the right solution for you... Its hard to find good service companies you can trust and that don't lead you down the most profitable path without regard for customers...I'd recommend to everyone.
Actually spoke with the owner on my very 1st call. He was able to come out same day. Very impressed with Jerry Smith as he seemed honest & dependable with his service.
Air Velocity is on the top of my list for their knowledge and integrity.They gave me an extremely competitive price on replacing my coil and explained why it was failing. I can't say enough good things about the professionalism of the owner and installers. I asked Jerry (The Owner) a number of questions about my existing A/C unit, he really knew what he were talking about and he was right on and honest. Don't even think about going with the other guys! You'll be sorry.

Hey, Sorry but this is me at the moment.
With certain people away and no guests for the last fews days and Christmas approaching and things generally hysterical in the world I can revert to the thing that gives me the only piece of mind I have left, my continued obsession with the folk of a small parcel of land situated between the mountains of Windsor NS and Greenwood NS, the Annapolis Valley. So no Dolly Parton today, nor Police, nor Dragonforce, nor Children of Bodom, no obsessing about career, nor leaky roofs, nor money problems, no guy bumping on the ceiling cause I'm playing the music too loud just a full set by a great Halifax, NS band, called The Sorrys. Neanderthal Cell Phone iLike, but won't I pod.
I don't need to.
Hey this is the second album, mother fucker.
I won't get into it more than to say that the guitar has a continuing presence on the second album as if a rocking road ride through the 70's, 80's, 90's. Also the writing is distinctive - front man, Trevor Millet's wit and barbs are there on NCP, passed on from the first album: "The Last Clear Thought Before You Fall Backwards." Perhaps a torch has been passed from Sloan to the Superfriendz on to The Sorrys, I dunno but I do see Charles Austin on the credits.
In Achievement Races, the lead song, Millett announces:
"Christ you are something...
I want to double dare, pull your hair."
Oh, well here I go again...!
Hey it is just my opinion but there is a conversation between the singer (Millett) and the guitar player (Jim) that goes on and on. Also it sounds like there is actually a guy banging on the drums not a dink at a computer adding drum effects. The bass is solid too, listen for it on Roses.
"I will see this moon again,
It's the same old moon that its ever been..."
There is some middle-aged resignation in the music also, especially about the modern pace of the world.
A good line:
"In the end we all turn to dust
so why don't you tell me what the hell was your rush?"
I read the band met at a party, well it is like the conversation from that first intense but good-natured meeting has still continued on in the music. There is an energy there that seems like an extended jam session. It is like the boys don't wanna go home...
Sorry that how I see it..

Jeremy Corbyn has come under fire for saying it was a "tragedy" that Osama bin Laden was killed by the United States rather than being put on trial.
The Labour leadership frontrunner made the remarks shortly after the 2012 special forces raid on the Al-Qaeda chief's Pakistan compound in which he and four others were shot dead.
In an interview for Iranian television, he suggested the assassination of the September 11 attacks' mastermind would result in deeper unrest.

While the laws affecting same-sex couples continue to evolve in this country, a complicated patchwork of legislation has left gay and lesbian individuals with different rights based upon where they live. While the rights of gays and lesbians vary greatly from state to state, a recent study has found that gay parents are up against uphill battles in every state, including here in Georgia.
Study: Courts show bias against gay parents in custody disputes
Coursework is available to aid divorcing parents in Georgia
Many people in Georgia put off divorce because they are worried about the effect it will have on their children. The truth is that divorce does affect children--whether they are young or whether they are all grown up. However, being sensitive to children's emotions and offering them the support they need is often the key to parenting well during divorce. Unfortunately, many parents are engulfed by the stress and trauma of divorce themselves, and their children's needs wind up on the back burner.
Custody battle brewing for Atlanta-based hip hop star
Another celebrity child custody battle has made the news in Atlanta. Rapper Big Boi, of the Grammy award-winning duo Outkast, has recently made headlines for filing for joint custody of his 12-year-old son in Georgia. The rapper and his wife of 11 years are in the midst of a divorce, and his wife had sought full custody of the child, as well as child support.
Georgia lawmakers may consider tougher domestic violence law
Georgia lawmakers may soon consider a significant change to the state's domestic violence laws. A Georgia prosecutor along with domestic violence advocates in Athens wants the offense of strangulation to be charged as a felony. As it stands, strangulation or choking typically amounts to a simple battery charge.
Grandparents play increasingly important roles in Georgia families
Many grandparents in Georgia play a very active role in the lives of their grandchildren. In fact, a number of grandparents even live with their grandchildren in multi-generational homes or raise their grandchildren, acting as their primary caregivers. It was recently reported that one in 10 American children live in households with their grandparents, and about 2.6 million American children are being raised primarily by their grandparents.
Lawmaker introduces international child abduction bill
Child custody disputes can be emotionally exhausting for Georgia parents, but when the parents in a particular dispute do not both reside in the U.S. things can become extremely challenging. This is because when child custody battles span international borders, there are questions of jurisdiction. In which country should the custody case be held? And, of course, the stakes are very high in international child custody disputes because a shared custody agreement or visitation plan would be impossible for most families.
Child Custody Challenges for Military Service Members
High levels of U.S. military activity globally have significantly impacted service members with child custody arrangements. What happens when a divorced or single military father or mother with a custody and visitation arrangement is deployed away from home?
Divorce's Impact on Children Under 10
For Georgia couples, divorce can be a difficult time, and sometimes children get lost in the mix. Children may not understand what is going on, but at the same time, they do not want to make anything worse for the people who are taking care of them.
Addressing All Aspects of Child Custody During a Divorce
We all know that not every marriage lasts. Deciding to get a divorce is an extremely difficult time for anyone, and it can be even more challenging when the couple has children. The emotional toll of a divorce will impact each and every person in the family, and it is important to keep this in mind when going through the process. All too often, one of the spouses will want the divorce to end as soon as possible. They may make decisions that do not take into account very important factors, which can be difficult to reverse once accepted by the court. All issues, from property division to child custody, need to be discussed in detail at the time of the divorce.
Judge denies mother child custody because of breast cancer
A woman was recently denied child custody, partly due to her breast cancer. The judge in the case justified his decision, claiming that it is important for children to spend time with healthy parents. When courts in Georgia are determining child custody there are a number of factors that are considered, including the home environment of each parent, each parent's relationship with the children and each parent's mental and physical health.

I was transferred. It was a huge surprise to me, my companion, and our ward!! In fact they transferred both Elder Belnap and myself. We were devastated to learn we were both leaving. I know it is God's will though. The families we've been working with that have recently joined the church or that are preparing for baptism are all actively attending church and are connected with the members so I don't think they will slip through the cracks. I am now serving in a YSA ward on ASU campus and I'm in a trio with Elder Wallentine (he transferred in with me and has 3 transfers left) and Elder Babcock who has been here for 2 transfers already and has 2 transfers to go before he finishes his mission. YSA work is so different! We have been so busy since transfers though that we have hardly even been able to spend time in our area. I've only met one investigator and one less active. Church was sweet though and I was able to connect with a bunch of members. This is the most impressive ward I've served in so far because it is so organized. The ward council works like a fine tuned machine. Everyone knows their responsibilities, accomplishes them, and reports back. Missionary work is discussed first and everything is focused on the individuals needs in the ward. The bishop speaks only a small part of the time and mostly when he speaks it is to thank people for their incredible effort or to make an assignment. I'm learning A LOT.
This Sunday we had the monthly Mission President's Devotional. My companions and I were responsible for putting the program together and we had a lot of things going on that we weren't able to call and ask converts to speak until Friday night. One of the ladies from my last area was preparing her first talk for sacrament so I figured I could give her a call and ask her to speak. She was so mad at me!!! (We have a good relationship so it was cool :)) But she said she would do it and she did phenomenal! Afterward she was really grateful for the opportunity but I still owe her so when I get back to Arizona after my mission I owe her and her son dinner :) Can't wait.
Sometimes we feel like heavenly father is far from us. We may experience the great blessing of feeling the spirits presence in our lives and then all of a sudden we feel like God has perhaps abandoned us or left us to figure out our problems on our own. I would invite you to consider that God does this to teach us that we CANNOT go through this life alone without his help. Without his spirit we can never experience deep happiness and peace. The spirit will come back as we repent and listen to the promptings of the spirit but we have to make the effort.

A "War and Peace" Christmas
December 29, 2007
Roscoe, N.Y.
Some Christmases have themes, and some Christmases have very strange themes. For me, the theme of this Christmas was War and Peace.
It all began last Tuesday, the 18th. Deirdre got us tickets to Prokofiev's opera of War and Peace at the Metropolitan Opera, and we drove into the city to see it. The curtain went up at 7:30 and when we staggered out to the subway, it was nearly midnight.
Prokofiev knew that he couldn't possibly include all the various plots and subplots of Tolstoy's novel in his opera, so instead he chose 13 scenes divided in two parts, relying on the audience's knowledge of the novel to fill in the gaps. (I read War and Peace when I was a teenager oh so many decades ago, but Deirdre read it in the spring of 2003 and loved it.)
Part I of the opera mostly centers around Natasha Rostov and the three men in her life — the dashing military man Prince Andrei, the kind and gentle humanist Pierre, and the rake Anatole. These were some of my favorite scenes at the various homes and estates of the characters. Two of the scenes are balls — wonderfully done with an amazing interplay among the characters, some beautifully nimble music and characterization, and a gentleness that is not to last for long.
At the end of Part I, Moscow gets word that Bonaparte had invaded Russia, and the Russian people flood the stage in a massive chorus and sing about driving out the invaders. (Prokofiev composed War and Peace mostly during the second world war, and the work abounds with Russian patriotism. This is a joint production of the Metropolitan Opera and the Kirov Opera, and the Soviet-realist style patriotism is delivered straight without irony.)
Part II takes place almost entirely on the battlefield. Huge armies march across the stage. In the Battle of Borodino, General Kutuzov — limping around the stage with an eye patch and cane like Wotan's decrepit twin — is sung by New York City favorite Samuel Ramey, one of the few non-Russians in the cast. Prince Andrei is on the battlefield, of course, but Pierre is also as an embedded civilian advisor. In the second scene, we see the French army and Napoleon — in full expectation of being greeted as a liberator and awaiting a delegation to give him ceremonial keys to the city. Big cannons roll across the stage. Explosions light up the sky. Several scenes later, Moscow is burning, Pierre is plotting to assassinate the Corsican, the French army is blasted by blizzards and chowing down on a dead horse, and Kutuzov is leading the Russian people in unabashedly patriotic choruses.
Chamber music it ain't, but what a wonderful experience, and a great prelude to three days of driving — first up to Utica for a traditional Christmas eve eve ham dinner with Deirdre's mother and sister, then driving down to Jersey to my mother's house for a dinner with my siblings and nieces, capped by the traditional Christmas eve cookie orgy, then driving back up to Roscoe on Christmas day.
Somewhere in there Deirdre gave me the new 3.8 pound Richard Pevear / Larissa Volokhonsky translation of War and Peace that everybody is raving about. I really shouldn't start reading it before I finish my book, but I just can't help myself!

Today we had an epic 1 mile vertical climb that was satisfying on every level.
The trail was littered with springs that cooled the inside and outside of my body and earlier in the day some horse riding trail workers sawed through a bunch of blow downs so the air was filled with the scent of freshly cut pines.
I saw a family of lizards sunning themselves.
And crossed many a stream.
I had hoped to catch up with the trail workers to thank them but all I found were recently produced horse droppings and freshly opened trail.
They even cut some stools at one site. They must really enjoy their work. :-)
Here is a video I took at the completion of my climb. I was a bit out of breath. :-)
And towards the end of my hike I reached another milestone.
Getting closer with every footstep.

Alteration is the primary school of magic employed for the purposes of physical transmutation, as the meaning of the words of its root arcane incant implies. A number of other schools can offer limited forms of transmutation, such as Elemental Earth's Stoneskin or Necromancy's Raise Zombie, but these are often more limiting and focused than those transmutations offered by Alteration. A mage or priest calling upon the power of this school can change an object or person's physical form in a variety of ways.
Battle Magic spells from the school offer specific types of transformation, perhaps the most useful of these being Dispel Magic, as this provides the key to countering the effects of other spellcasters. For this reason, Alteration is commonly developed by arcane casters, as well as those priests who are granted access to it by their deities, namely Gyellina, Mellina, Bacchus, Mishra, and Sirethe.
Table of Contents
The Battle Magic Spells
Light is useful both as a utility spell and a defense mechanism, especially against creatures of the dark. As a utility spell, it can create an easily-conjured, non-flammable source of illumination that will last a full day or night. It can even be turned on and off at the caster's will. It's effects are different when employed against living creatures. Its duration is far briefer, lasting a mere ten seconds, but it will, if the spell strikes true, immediately render the target unable to see as its vision is filled with searing light.
Many believe that the Light spell is pitifully weak compared with the might of the higher battle spells that make up the Alteration school. However, others see it as a useful teaching tool, since it acts as a relatively harmless introduction to the school for novices, and demonstrates how the Alteration school reacts differently for different forms of physical matter, in this case, the animate and the inanimate.
This is perhaps one of the most famous of magical spells, as many legends speak of wizards who turn themselves invisible to achieve one end or another, for good or for ill. As its name implies, the spell allows the caster or his target to go unseen for a few minutes at a time. This can prove useful for sneaking past foes who would otherwise prove too formidable for the caster and his comrades, though it can also be used to get into all kinds of mischief if the caster or target feels so inclined to do so.
The spell has definite limitations, however. While the target is rendered completely invisible even in brightest day, it does nothing to block sound, so others around an invisible being might be able to divine the location of such a creature by listening with keen ears. Indeed, if an invisible being speaks, attacks, or otherwise significantly interacts with his environment, the spell immediately ends. Thus, a target of this spell should proceed with caution while under its effects.
Dispel Magic
This highly useful, powerful spell completely nulls all battle spells of a specified school that currently affect the chosen target. This makes it highly prized by mages and priests who regularly do battle with foes who possess magic themselves.
The mage or priest utilizing this spell should become well-versed in magical lore, however, for she must first know which school of magic currently affects her target before she can hope to dispel it. Also, a Shield Magic or Phase spell will still defend against a Dispel Magic spell, unless the caster chose to Dispel Protection, which would immediately null all such protections the target possessed without having the opportunity to activate.
Gaseous Form
The pinnacle of the Alteration school before ritual magic, Gaseous Form allows the caster to become incorporeal as a ghost for a time, making him impervious to all forms of attack, whether magical or physical in nature. While the caster's movement is slowed to a walking pace, and his form can be blown by a sufficiently strong wind, he is otherwise impervious to most effects of the physical world. This allows a caster to jump off cliffs and land at the bottom completely unscathed, to move through keyholes and cracks in walls, and otherwise have near-complete freedom of movement. The caster may end the effect early if he chooses to.
This spell has a few limitations aside from the ones already mentioned. A Dispel Magic spell cast to Dispel Alteration magic will end the spell. Some forms of ritual magic will still affect a gaseous being. Also, the spell can only be cast on the caster himself; not on others.

Mass Effect Discussion
Yeah. All I know is that Mass Effect 2 will be freaking awesome.
Well how do you think they will settle that problem with the council and with ashley and kaiden?
what do you mean ashley and kaiden?.....kaiden died in the nuke blast on vermier and yes Greendaysuks136 we know what you mean with sheperd and Liara
But you could of let Ashley die instead....
what I'm saying is in Mass Effect 2 how will they keep the same characters if either Kaiden or Ashley could have died and the council may have 1 of 2 humans added to it or 1 of 2 humans period. plus you probably won't be able to continue from your save file because you can play it multiple times with the same character and have different choices.
And if this was said already, sorry.
If I had to guess it will either take place before or after ME, then ME 3 will be the other that ME 2 wasn't...if you get what I mean.
And if this was said already, sorry.
That's actually a much simpler way of stating what I've said. Kudos to you. You said what I said, but with less typing.

|your cart is empty
Genre icon Jo Shishido stars in this tense and violent yakuza yarn from genre stalwart and Seijun Suzuki's former assistant, Yasuharu Hasebe (Female Prisoner Scorpion: #701's Grudge Song). Shishido stars as Kuroda, a mob hitman who turns on his employers after being forced to execute his lover. Joining forces with his similarly wronged brothers, hot-headed Eiji (Tatsuya Fuji, In the Realm of the Senses) and aspiring boxer Saburo (Jiro Okazaki, Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter), the trio escalate their mob retaliation to all-out turf war where no one will stop until one faction emerges victorious. Strikingly violent for the period and gorgeously photographed in monochrome like genre siblings Branded to Kill and A Colt is My Passport (Shishido's other films from 1967), Massacre Gun is a bold iteration on the genre featuring some stunning compositions and the assured direction of Hasebe.

We got our phones in today...SO happy about that. Service is sketchy, but it's better than not having a phone! Our Internet has been in and out also, thankfully it is working tonight lol. Anthony went to hang out with the boys, they are having Poker Night at one of the local officer's house. We are starting to settle in here - and our house is starting to look like a home. I DO love the weather...so much warmer than Fairbanks. My hair loves the weather too...my curls are making a come-back. :) I will post pictures of the house once we finish setting it up. I have to buy curtains for all my windows at some point...turns out finding curtains that arn't almost 90" long is proving difficult...ridiculous. I should know something about the job I interviewed for by the end of the week...and I am looking into some different options too. Anyway, I'm back online so give me a call!!

A day for french toast...
This morning we slept in, then for breakfast I made some tasty french toast, eggs and bacon. Then we decided to get presentable lol...
We spent a large portion of the day at DOT cleaning out Anthony's new patrol veh...it was so bad it really just needed to be torched.

First Impressions...
...windy...cut-off....why can't it look like Homer......
So everyone here keeps asking me what I think....and I honestly have to say I don't know yet. It's not exactly what I expected, that's for sure. I think it will be really pretty in the summer. You can see the ocean from the road leading to our house. There are two smallish local stores that charge you an arm, leg and possibly a liver depending on what you want. On the up side, it is much warmer than Fairbanks.
I am trying REALLY hard to have a good attitude and not decide that I hate it here. Anthony is super excited so it is important to keep an open mind. I DO have an interview on Friday afternoon for the position at AST. I have met most of the guys here and we seem to have a good group.
The movers will be here to move us into our house on Friday morning. It will be nice to get settled down...and have our stuff. We are staying in a little furnished bed and breakfast right now...it's called Caribou Cabin. There is a flat screen w/dish network...Anthony is happily watching the sports channel lol.
I'm proud to say I kept the water works at bay through all the goodbyes...up until last night. Yesterday was a really long day. We only managed to get about 4 hrs of sleep on our last night there, then we got up, finished getting packed and headed to the airport. Jenni met us there for a quick goodbye and we were on our way. We spent all morning flying then arrived in Dillingham with no cell reception. As you can guess, we were REALLY unhappy. After stopping by post and picking up a veh we headed to our new place to do a walk-through. All of the appliances were decrepit and that was a big issue. I'm glad to report that as of today they have all been replaced. Then we spend hrs on the phone ironing out issues like GCI and dealing with the movers.
I will post pictures as soon as possible. And hopefully soon I will have a working phone again.
Will post more later...hope everyone is doing well!

A little update
We arrived safely in Dillingham late this morning. The phones that GCI told us would work "great" out here don't work. So we are officially cut off from the ENTIRE world...I just happened to steal a few moments on a computer at the office. We are working on having new phones shipped to us as soon as possible....will update more later when I have a chance!

My girl
Well, we are leaving on Tuesday morning...and I'm still trying to figure out what I'm gonna do without my chub. She's my girl...we're pretty much best friends by now. I tried to convince Ang and Josh to move to Dillingham, but that didn't really work out. So...my plan is to steal her and just see how far I get. :)

The movers came yesterday...
and now my house is bare. It actually went a lot better than I thought it would...took about 8 hrs. We had Baileys scheduled to drop off our new furniture (which we ordered in Dec) mid morning. They called me about an hr after they were supposed to show up and said there was a problem...Anchorage had sent the wrong love seat. They said it was now on back order and that they would have it for me in about a month and a half...well...we had words. Lots of words. We got it all figured out though...and besides that, it was a really smooth move! Today we have more packing, cleaning and errands to run. Anthony is at Grand Jury right now and I'm supposed to be at the store lol...so I'd better get on it.

We are headed to Dillingham two weeks from today. Movers come first thing in the morning tomorow, so we get to live out of suitcases for the next two weeks. Oh well, this whole move will be an experiance. I'm off to do more packing...

Leah Rose has always been a little "social butterfly" and she loves going to parties. We had to miss celebrating with a party on her first birthday because she was in the hospital with her cleft palate surgery. At the time of her 2nd birthday, we were still living in Florida and all of our family and friends were in Middle Georgia, so planning a party long distance was not easy. This turned out be an "impromptu" party at McDonald's. In this photo, I feel like she is telling me "just give me the cake already, never mind the picture!"
And dig into the cake, she did.
Only a few hours later, she was passed out.

It's 221 years for the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard is one of the oldest organizations of the federal government and until Congress established the Navy Department in 1798 we served as the nation's only armed force afloat. We protected the nation throughout our long history and served proudly in every one of the nation's conflicts. Our national defense responsibilities remain one of our most important functions even today. In times of peace we operate as part of the Department of Homeland Security, serving as the nation's front-line agency for enforcing the nation's laws at sea, protecting the marine environment and the nation's vast coastline and ports, and saving life. In times of war, or at the direction of the President, we serve under the Navy Department.
