Sirius Institute FAQ
1. Who are we?
We are dolphin researchers based in Hawaii working under the name The Sirius Institute. Our founding partner is Paradise (Star) Newland and our research director is Michael T. Hyson, Ph.D., a neurobiologist.
Star was a close friend and colleague of the late Dr. John C. Lilly, M.D., and Toni Lilly, who pioneered communication with the dolphins. She has met and interviewed many eminent dolphin/birth researchers like Dr. Estelle Myers, Dr. Michel Odent, Elena Tonetti, Horace Dobbs.
Michael was a close friend and colleague of the late Dr. Hank Truby, a linguist and acoustic phonetician who helped invent the sonogram or "voice printing". He worked closely with Lilly and his dolphin projects for 17 years, including attempts to teach dolphins Elvar and Tolva English. We are inheritors of this tradition and have built on this legacy.
We have many partners and associates, biologists, MD's, musicians, engineers, midwives, doulas, architects and others that help us in this work.
2. How did you get interested in the dolphins?
Star: I met a man named Josef Princiotta in Las Vegas, circa 1982 who spoke of his involvement with a group who wanted to create a dolphin attended birthing center on Fiji. That was the first time I'd ever heard those two words together, dolphins and birth. It made a profound impact on me as I knew instinctively that a birth like that would be a way of healing birth trauma and the 'Myth of separation'. From that time on my path has taken me to explore these beings and how we can learn from them as well as teach them things of our ways that may help them.
I became interested when I was 12-13 after reading John Lilly's books Man & Dolphin and Mind of the Dolphin. Then I got a chance to be with them at a facility in Texas the next summer. So dolphins have been in my life since then. I even got to swim with the original Flipper, a dolphin named Mitzi.
Later, I met Dr. Hank Truby at the University of Miami and worked with him on dolphin and other projects for about 12 years, including a project of the World Dolphin Foundation with the dolphins Florida and Liberty.
I met Star Newland at Dr. Lilly's 75th birthday in 1990 and we have been running her Sirius Institute together ever since. This brought us to Hawaii to study the free dolphins and whales here and establish Human-Dolphin Habitats and dolphin attended underwater birthing centers.
3. What is the Sirius Institute?
Sirius Institute is a research consortium with the purpose of "dolphinizing" the planet. This means the integration of the Cetacea (dolphins and whales) into our culture as we raise the level of consciousness to more like theirs. A second goal is the "humanization of space" which involves the settlement of the solar system and beyond.
We can integrate the Cetacea with us through direct interactions, by communication through interfaces and translators, using dolphin attended underwater childbirth, raising our children together with the Cetacea, developing dolphin assisted therapy, and by legal recognition of their rights under human law through the Cetacean Commonwealth. The dolphins and whales are co-species with us on our planet and we can all benefit from this recognition.
Our website is at: www.planetpuna.com
Just follow the links to the Sirius Institute and we have pretty extensive documentation.

We would also like people to sign up for our Cetacean Commonwealth. Please contact us and give us your input in all this. There are people, I m sure, with expertise in many areas, that could help in this work. If they are interested in helping there is much to do. We especially want a legal team to make their case for recognition before the United Nations.
4. Why did you choose the name Sirius?
Star reply -
This is the name that came to me soon after my swim with dolphins Joe and Rosie and Roberta Goodman, through the Human/Dolphin Foundation, in March 1985. It was incorporated in Vancouver, B.C. as the Sirius Connection (now Sirius Connection 420). It was a vehicle for my projects and works regarding these amazing beings that had come to my life. I wanted to share so much with the world as I found out more and more about them.
The name Sirius was inspired by Robert Temple's book, The Sirius Mystery which I had just read shortly before I swam with the dolphins. In it he reports that there are several ancient cultures that say they learned the arts of civilization from amphibious beings from the star system Sirius. Sirius Institute is named in honor of these legends. The dolphins and the whales have indeed been a civilizing influence on humans for ages. It is also named and modeled for the Vienna Institute in Leo Szilard's book, The Voice of the Dolphins.
5. Why do you feel "dolphinizing" the planet is important?
The Cetacea, the dolphins and whales, are highly intelligent, self aware beings that use sonic "tools" and transmit information through their cultures. They are mammals who birth and raise their young as we do, suckling them with milk.
Most Cetacea have brains larger than ours (up to 6 times larger for the Sperm Whale). They have had brains equal to or larger than ours for at least 15-30 million years (at least 2 times longer than our entire accepted evolutionary history as the genus Homo).
It is known that the dolphins (and presumably the other Cetacea) have a complex language - with up to a trillion "words" possible using at least 4 simultaneous sound sources.
Therefore, we conclude that they are more intelligent than we are and have all the characteristics we generally use to define our status as human, i.e. self-awareness, intelligence, language, tool use, culture etc.
This suggests that the Cetacea have knowledge and experience that can be important to our understanding of our planet, its history, and who we are on it. We feel it is important to communicate with them and learn from them.
The realization that the Cetacea are the oldest and most intelligent cultures on Earth leads to the conclusion that we must respect them, and insure their wellbeing. This implies changes in current policy at all levels.
What we will learn in this process is an exciting, open question- who ARE these beings who share our planet? How can we cooperate with them? What are their goals, needs, wants?
The message from the Dolphins on the eve of the birth of our latest Dolphin baby, August 7, 2011 says it best, 'The more we are like dolphins, living together in harmony, the closer we will be able to be with them'. This is dolphinizing the planet, by helping us to reconnect with this part of our being.
6. OK, so we know they have big brains, so what? They have big bodies, so maybe they need these brains just to run their large bodies?
Studies by John Lilly, Peter Morgane and others have shown that the brains of the Cetacea are comparable in complexity and quality to our own. The parts of the brain that run the body are actually about the same size as ours. Lilly found that the major expansion in the size of the brain is in the neo-cortex (the "new" brain). This is the part of the brain that handles consciousness, personality and thinking in humans.
Therefore, the expansion of the Cetacean brain is in those areas that are concerned with high level thinking, the so-called "association" areas. Bottlenose dolphins have 40% more association cortex than a human. The Orca (so-called "killer" whale) has three times our brain size and others have even larger brains.
Since we know that larger brains have more cells, and more connections, they can also be more intelligent.
7. Why do the whales need such large brains?
We can turn this question around and say, "Why do they need large bodies?"
It turns out that the larger the brain, the easier it is damaged, especially by accelerations. To have a large brain, you MUST have a large body to protect it. John Lilly calculated the body size needed to protect a given brain size and found out that humans, elephants, dolphins, whales - all have the LARGEST brains they CAN have for their body size.
This suggests that maximization of the neocortex has been a major evolutionary driver in humans, elephants and marine mammals.
It also means that since the elephant has a body that is near maximum size for a land creature made of bone and muscle, that if you want to have a brain much larger than an elephant, then you MUST move to the water or somehow reduce gravity.
And this appears to be what the Cetacea did - they evolved on land and eventually adapted to the water. Once there, the limits to their brain size were removed, and over time, their brains increased in size to what we see now - which is that they have the largest brains on the planet.
8. You say the Cetacea are self-aware. How do we know this?
We know that the dolphins, for sure, are self aware through the studies of Dr. Ken Marten of Earth Trust working at Sea Life Park in Hawaii. Basically, they put dye splotches on the dolphins and then provided a mirror. They observed that the dolphins recognized themselves in the mirror and used it to look at the dye splotches.
Therefore, they understand mirror images and that they were looking at their own image. This is only seen in humans and other great apes. Since the other Cetacea have even larger brains, we conclude that they are self-aware as well.
9. You say the dolphins and other Cetacea have language. How do we know this?
Dolphins and whales make complex sounds like the songs of the humpback whale. Dolphins have at least 4 and possibly 5 separate sound sources, the 4 nasopharynges in the passages of their blowholes, and perhaps one source in the throat similar to our vocal cords. With these they make sounds from about 1000 cycles/second out to at least 280,000 cycles/second. The sounds range from whistles and clicks, rasping sounds, creaking sounds and all combinations of these. Dolphins can make at least 4 simultaneous sounds all different, such as 4 click trains, 4 whistles, or combinations of these.
Russian researchers Markov and Ostrakaya analyzed some 300,000 dolphin sounds and concluded that they form a language with some 10^12 or 1 trillion syntactic units (roughly "words") in contrast to the largest human vocabularies of about 50,000 words.
While we have yet to learn what the sounds mean beyond simple "signature whistles" or distress calls, the Russian work found the vocalizations follow Ziff's laws. For example, in all languages and computer codes analyzed, short "words" are more common than long words in the ratio of 1/f. The Russians showed that the dolphin sounds followed this pattern, and concluded it IS a language.
In addition, work by Lilly's team showed that the dolphins imitated English using their blowholes in air and were able to accurately repeat phrases of syllables and were conversational - waiting for the human to speak, and then speaking back.
Louis Herman and co-workers have shown that the dolphins can understand a synthetic signaling system of hand signs. They learned to understand some 300 signs in some 2000 combinations.
Dr. Wayne Batteau taught dolphins some 40 words in Hawaiian some 50 years ago. Regretfully, Dr. Batteau died during the study, which was then transferred to the Navy.
All in all, the dolphins have done better in language tests than primates like chimps and gorillas. In particular, they understand "word order grammars" in which meaning is contained in the word order. For example: "Go get the green ball with the red stripe" in contrast to "Get the red ball with the green stripe". These distinctions are apparently beyond the capability of primates other than humans.
Dolphins communicate extensively given the opportunity. Lilly observed that dolphins isolated in separate tanks and with an audio link between them would communicate for 23 hours out of 24 for days.
We conclude that they have a language and use it. Lilly said in personal communication with Star said that all Cetacea could communicate with each other.
10. It seems that with all this capability and larger brains, perhaps the dolphins might do some things better than humans. Is this the case?
Yes. Their hearing range is greater than ours - some 280KHz vs 20KHz. They are supremely adapted to the water, can dive to 1000 feet, leap 20 feet into the air, swim up to 35 knots. Compared to a human who is almost blind and deaf in the water and can hardly swim, the dolphins have larger brains, and a longer evolutionary history.
In addition, the short term memory in humans is 5 (plus or minus 2) items, so that we can hold, say, a 7 digit telephone number in memory long enough to dial it. Dolphins have a short term memory of 12 items, more than twice the humans. As we described earlier, their language is more complex than ours with a possible trillion words.
They also use their sonar in marvelous ways, sometimes to heal us. This shows remarkable insight into our structures and the intelligence and capability to heal even members of other species.
11. You mention dolphin healing. Tell us more about that.
For years now, there have been studies and stories showing that dolphins can improve or sometimes heal humans with their sounds and other means, like electrical fields (which we will discuss in a bit).
My mentor Dr. Hank Truby started this effort by taking two autistic children to see the dolphins in Miami Seaquarium about 1973. Even on this first trial, the attention span of the children went from about 5 minutes to about an hour and a half, and the children, normally withdrawn and solitary, were cooperating in games, and feeding the dolphins. Some of the improvement persisted and lead to studies by Betsy Smith, David Nathanson and others.
Now there are several dolphin assisted therapy projects that are showing improvements in a wide range of conditions like autism, Down's syndrome, cerebral palsy, microcephaly, angina, and perhaps healing tumors.
Much of this still needs more study and medical follow-up. This is often difficult to obtain, especially when free dolphins do this. One example is a fellow that had a head injury that eliminated his peripheral vision. While in the water with the dolphins off Kauai, they sonared him and his vision came back while he was in the water. It sure would be nice to record and document what they do in more controlled and complete ways. I know that they are able to heal through personal experience, when a dolphin called Dreamer fixed my neck.
12. What happened with your neck?
When I was 12, I compressed the 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae hitting a swimming pool wall in a dive. I was mostly OK afterward, but my neck would sometimes lock up and I could always hear a grinding sound when I turned by neck.
When I was 40 and swimming with the Dolphin Dreamer at Dolphins Plus in Key Largo, Florida, I heard and felt some 20 loud and tightly focused sonar pulses all over my head and neck in about a second.
An hour later, the muscles on the left side of my neck relaxed, several places along my back got hot as the blood circulation changed and then I felt and heard 3 vertebrae click and move into new positions. When I moved my neck, it was looser and the grinding sound that had been there since I was 12 was gone.
13. How do you think Dreamer did that?
After thinking and studying this for years, I think we now have at least some idea how she could do this. First, her sonar could put out a peak power near a kilowatt, or about a horsepower. Because of the high frequencies and the 4 sound sources, this could be focused to under a millimeter. This is enough energy to polish bone.
Since this happened, I learned that the melon, a lens of oil just under the dolphin's forehead, is piezo-electric, like a quartz crystal. This means that when it is vibrated with sound, it will generate electromagnetic fields. These were measured by Dr. Eldon Byrd and Dean Rawlings.
The dolphins can produce powerful sound AND electric fields. There is data on the many effects high intensity sound and electricity have on our bodies. I think that is basically how she healed my neck. These mechanisms can account for many of the healings that are reported.
14. So the dolphins apparently use sound and electrical effects to heal us? How does that work, do you think?
There are lots of things that could be going on. Dr. Steven Birch showed that dolphin sounds could change the frequency and power of the brain waves and by a process called entrainment, could release endorphins. Basically, parts of our bodies are piezo-electric. Vibrations of bone and collagen, for example, generate electric currents. The dolphin sounds vibrating the body can cause this. In addition, the sounds can resonate body structures and affect them directly.
As was detailed in chapter 12 of Dr. Len Horowitz's book called "Pirates of the Sacred Spiral" it is possible that dolphin sounds can cause micro-bubble formation in the tissues. This has been shown to speed bone healing.
In addition, it is known that medical ultrasound can also change the DNA by activating or turning off different genes. It appears the dolphins could do the same sort of things with their sounds.
Dr. Ross Adey showed that pulsed electrical fields could activate or "turn on" specific genes. The dolphin electrical fields could do similar things to our DNA.
We now know that both electrical currents and sound can change DNA expression and that the dolphins could do this.
To know how this all works will require more research with the dolphins.
15. What other areas have the dolphins proved helpful?
Dolphins are playful, happy creatures. Just being around them can be a transforming experience. We have talked to many people whose lives have been changed by their presence. One example is Dr. Horace Dobbs who took a manic depressive patient that had been on medication for 14 years to see the free dolphin Donald in Britain. The man felt he had been given a new lease on life and stopped his medication and was much more joyful after seeing the dolphins. He has since gone on to share his stories with other depressives and made a difference through his experience.
We have reports of a young girl aged 8 with cerebral palsy whose mental age of performance went from 3-6 months to 3-4 years after being with the dolphins.
Another report is that a child with Down syndrome was performing normally after a few weeks of swimming with the dolphins.
One of the most dramatic reports is that a child with microcephaly (where the skull plates in a way that will make too small a skull) was improved by being with the dolphins for about a week. It was reported that after being with 4 dolphins who "ensonified" the child with sounds for 20 minutes a day, the skull plates developing normally after about a week. There are similar stories for many different conditions where the dolphins appear able to help.
These reports inspire us that there should be a concerted, well funded effort to explore the dolphins and their healing abilities. As Scott Taylor, who reported the microcephaly story to me said: "This will change the face of medicine."
16. What has been our association with dolphins in the past?
Many ancient cultures had close association with the Cetacea. For example, there were river dolphins in the Nile, the Ganges, the Indus and the Yangtze rivers. These are where all the early "hydraulic" cultures developed. So it is possible that dolphins influenced our cultures. In several cases it is reported that the dolphins helped guide ships, and helped people fish. Polynesian stories report that the dolphins and the whales helped guide the canoes from island to island.
In ancient Greece, dolphins were said to be the highest form of life. The oracle at Delphi (which means "dolphin") was a guiding influence for at least 2000 years. There are stories of the dolphins rescuing the harpist Arion, taking children to school and playing with children and people on the shore, as has happened in modern times.
One of the most instructive stories is by Pliny the Elder, who wrote that dolphins helped some Greek fishermen by chasing fish into their nets. At the end of the day, the dolphins hung by the docks and the fishermen gave them "bread soaked in wine" as a reward. Greek wine was used as a carrier for drugs and psychedelics. The fishermen were sharing their sacramental potions with the dolphins. This suggests that human-dolphin relations in the past were sacred and intimate.
Going into the past further, Dr. Solly Zuckerman and Elaine Morgan have explored what is called the Aquatic Ape Theory. They point out that we have marine characteristics like the shape of the nose (adapted for diving), subcutaneous fat (for insulation), a loss of hair, the position of the breasts (that is ideal for suckling in the water) and even our tear glands (which are like nidmental glands in sea creatures that excrete salt). Our ability to swim and dive is rare in primates. They suggest that our ancestors evolved on rivers and beaches where we learned to swim and learned to walk while wading.
The usual story is that we learned to run and hunt on the savannahs of Africa during a long drought. This theory has now been questioned in part because the plant fossil records show that our early evolution happened in moist, forested areas, by beaches and rivers.
It now appears likely that we evolved from swamp and beach living Bonobo chimp-like ancestors. Recently we have learned that proper brain development requires eicosanoic acid which is present in fish and sea food. If we only evolved from fruit eating, tree living ancestors, this is quite difficult to explain.
Another puzzle of our evolution is our large brain. How did it happen? Current models suggest that having a well fed existence near the shore with an abundance of seafood could be a factor. Being on the beaches forms a better context for this development. My view is that all the large brained creatures are aquatic or semi-aquatic. Even the elephants (that have brains larger than ours) have been seen 25 miles at sea swimming between islands.
We would suggest, that like the modern people in Mauritania, Australia, the Amazon and elsewhere who still fish with the dolphins, our ancient ancestors did the same. It is easy to see that being with the dolphins like this for years could have stimulated our intelligence.
17. Our association with the dolphins and whales goes back a long way. What has happened since the ancient Greeks?
Somewhere along the way, we seem to have mostly forgotten our ancient relationship and we have been hunting the whales and the dolphins for food for at least the last 18,000 years. With the development of modern sailing and powered ships and inventions like the exploding harpoon, we have killed so many whales that they are now reduced to something like 1% of their former populations. Some 2 million dolphins a year are now killed by humans and their pollution and sonars.
We want to change this by helping us remember the relationships we once had. In the modern era, John Lilly taught us the truth about the dolphins, starting with examining their large brains and discovering the fact that they are conscious breathers, and ending with teaching them English with some success, and then developing the Janus Project, a computer communication interface that would allow them to speak English through what is called a vocoder and speech synthesizer. This work has to be completed and extended.
The Russians, for example, were so impressed by Lilly's data on the dolphins that they stopped all killing of dolphins based on their consciousness and intelligence. It is important to remember what we already know and apply it to our behaviour and policy.
We now have mostly a moratorium on killing the large whales, although Japan, Norway and Iceland want to resume whaling, despite the International Whaling Commission ban. And mostly the protections of the IWC have yet to be extended to the smaller whales and dolphins. They are still being killed in fishing or being herded and killed in Japan and elsewhere.
So we still have a lot of education to do and changes to be made. We hope our work and the work of many people around the planet will awaken us all to the reality of the Cetacea and who they are.
18. Dolphins always seem friendly. Do they ever hurt people?
For thousands of years the historic record includes their aid to us, fishing, for us, rescuing people, and playing with us. There are perhaps 4 instances on record where a Cetacean may have contributed to a human death, so rare as to be almost in the noise. And, from what we know, dolphins treat people with kindness except under extreme provocation. They are harmonious in their pods and treat us similarly. Certainly there have been a few situations where people have been bitten, or ribs broken, etc. yet this is extremely rare.
Lilly said that the most important thing he learned about the dolphins was they were ethical in their behavior and treated people as a special class, being very nice to us.
19. Tell us more about your goals. How can dolphinizing the planet, as you call it, benefit us?
We have a comprehensive approach to improved ways of being on this planet.
We are developing ways to create more harmonious communities by improving birth and child rearing practices.
Much of the work is inspired by what we have learned investigating the Cetacea. The dolphins are directly involved and we seek to integrate them into our lives through communication, birth, therapy and other means.
Dolphinization has many aspects including establishing communication, sharing life experiences as well as creating means to allow them to assist in birth and therapy with us. Our main projects are:
POD Homes and the Pod Project
Human-Dolphin Habitats & DAWN Birth Center
The Songswimmer Communication interfaces &
Interspecies Concerts
The Cetacean Commonwealth & Embassies
For a more complete description of these projects, please see:
20. What are POD Homes?
Cetacean societies are cooperative and fun-loving. We want to emulate that in human society. Closeness and support of a Pod is essential in the sea, where predators or dangers can come from many directions. Everyone has to watch out for the others. Cetacea are close, social creatures, like humans, and thrive best when they share life, love, food, child rearing, hunting, socialization skills and their culture with each other.
We can emulate the cooperation and closeness that dolphins have in their pods and adapt this to our life on land. We call it "living en Pod" and it occurs in Pod Homes. The Pod model can help us to restore our currently fragmented society. To live 'en pod' means that you know you are part of something good and bigger than yourself that is there for you always. Being part of a pod means you are valued and accepted for being you and bringing your own special self to the pod, making it richer and more interesting.
Pod children are raised or spend time in 'pod' homes, centered around the well being of the children, just like the dolphins. The people who live here are called a podlet. There are aunties and uncles, grandma's and granddads, sisters, brothers and good friends too. Even if your own mom or dad is away, there can be a mom or dad person there for you.
Pod homes are islands of stability where people gather to help each other, care for the children, give hugs and other kinds of 'yummy touch' like touching hands, feet, shoulders, ears, giving back rubs. This is the kind of touch that everyone can enjoy and helps us stay well.
When we are part of podlife, things are lots of fun and we feel closer and at ease with many people, creating organization and activities so that all of us prosper in harmony and abundance.
21. What are Human-Dolphin Habitats?
We intend to set up areas we call Human-Dolphin Habitats where we can learn to attract the free dolphins to come play and interact with us. Then we can learn together. This will be a place where we can learn to communicate better. We intend to birth our children underwater with the dolphins in attendance.
Dolphins may choose to heal people. At first we will observe what the dolphins do, and measure the sounds, electric fields and other parameters until we understand what they are doing. Then we can duplicate their methods and improve the state of healing.
The Human-Dolphin Habitat can be a coastal area where the dolphins come to meet and interact with us. We have located several places suitable to this effort. We can also interact with the dolphins at local beaches, in Puna, Hilo, and West Hawai'I, both from the shore and by boat.
A prototype of the Human-Dolphin Habitat was created during the Lilly projects where they flooded a house and Margaret Howe and Peter dolphin lived together for months. We also envision and are planning to have boats and floating facilities as habitats.
In our studies we have found ways to approach our optimal state through the human-dolphin habitats. We can improve birth practices, have more play and fun included in our lives, have our sovereignty and liberty respected, and we will learn to communicate clearly, both with each other and the dolphins. The dolphins can assist us in all these areas.
We show a potential area that is close to what we envision. See: www.planetpuna.com/hdh
22. Your research suggests that we can improve how we birth babies. What effects could be expected from this?
Many years of work in the Black Sea and elsewhere, including early Hawaii, have shown that water birth is beneficial. With their therapeutic capability the dolphins can help insure an optimal birth.
The birth experience is fundamental to the quality of our children's future lives. It is now known that underwater birth is often better for the mother and the baby.
This is established by some 30 years of work starting with Igor Charkofsky, Dr. Michel Odent, M.D., Dr.Estelle Meyers, Dr. Gowri Motha, M.D. and others. In fact, birthing with the dolphins has been an ancient native practice in Hawai'I and in other cultures. It is therefore evident that underwater birth with the dolphins is an obvious and important area of research and development. Since the outcomes in adulthood are so closely linked to the birth experience, we know that improvement at this stage of a child's life is most important.
We can easily reduce the future consequences and costs of health care and reduce needs for police and the like just by insuring proper birth and rearing especially of those considered high risk. Compared to the alternative of leaving the situation alone, it is more socially beneficial and cost effective.
There has yet to be a facility anywhere on Earth that easily allows such births.
Therefore, we are developing the Dolphin Attended, Water, Natural (DAWN) and Gentle Birth Centers in Hawai'i. This is where underwater birth with the free dolphins can be done. The mild climate, the year-round availability of free dolphins, as well as the Hawaiian cultural milieu are supportive of this effort. We have been here for some 20 years renewing the groundwork for all this. The Sirius Institute is in a wonderful position to accomplish this.
We are now receiving up to 3-4 requests per week through the Internet from people searching for a place to birth with dolphins. People who are deeply called to be with the dolphins search widely and find us.
This indicates there is a larger population who want dolphin-attended births that are off the net or otherwise missing us. This demonstrates there is a need for such a facility. It is time to provide one.
23. What is the Wellness Begets Wellness Program?
The DAWN Birth Centers are part of our "Wellness begets Wellness" program which is about systematically, intentionally, intelligently and consciously setting about to create and provide what it takes to assure that every child that we can reach, everyone about to be a mom is hanaied (Hawaiian for adopted), and is included as a member of the 'pod', a dolphin/whale term that relates to how they live together and raise their children, from which we are learning a great deal.
We know much about pregnancy and birth, infancy and early childhood development, that we could apply to every child born here from this day on so they would have an optimal start in life and thereby a much better likelihood for a better life in general. This in turn would result in more benefit to themselves, to their relationships, to their ability to be productive, balanced members of society and also pass these qualities to their children.
Our birthing project addresses these kinds of births for the well being of our children and our future. See: www.planetpuna.com/ gentlebirth/
24. What is the Cetacean Commonwealth?
The Cetacean Commonwealth is a commonwealth of the Cetacea Nations comprising all species of Cetacea, the mammalian order of whales and dolphins and the Humans who support them in being recognized as a People. The Cetacean Commonwealth was established March 7, 2002, at 1:34 AM Pacific time and publicly introduced at Earth Day Los Angeles on 4-20-02.
The Cetacean Commonwealth is a way for the people of the sea and the people of the land that support them to have a voice and gain rights for the Cetacea under human laws so they are recognized as the sentient intelligent beings they are.
It is now scientifically proven that the dolphins are self-aware, a trait shared with humans. Since other Cetacea have even larger brains, we conclude that the other Cetacea are self-aware as well. They transmit information culturally across generations and are the longest lived of all species. They have the largest brains, include the largest creatures on Earth and have a long history of friendship, cooperation and partnership with humans which makes us co-species, sharing the planet.
They therefore qualify as a people and with their intelligence, culture, and sentience, are entitled to full recognition under human laws.
It is a major intention of the Sirius Institute to have the Cetacean Commonwealth recognized so that the Cetacea have standing under human law
A milestone for the project will be a presentation by the Cetacea before the UN with live communications from them where they speak for themselves.
25. What is the SongSwimmer Communication Interface?
The SongSwimmer is a whale & dolphin communication Interface based on music.
The Cetacea have a complex language that has proven opaque to analysis so far. Therefore, to communicate it is best to establish an intermediate code that will allow us to start communicating with each other.
We have learned that part of their communication is musical. They use chords and musical phrases. Humpback groups, for example, sing in different keys, and respond to musicians that are playing in their key.
So, the communication interface that we are developing is based on a device that tracks the pitch of their whistles and converts them to MIDI form (Musical Industry Digital Interface) which is used in keyboards and synthesizers.
Now, Hawaiian language is composed from only 14 basic sounds, the lowest number of sounds in human languages. We can create an interface that assigns one of 14 tones to each language sound, or "phoneme".
Then, when the dolphins whistle one of these tones, its pitch will be recognized by the computer which then outputs the appropriate sound, both in the air to the humans, and through underwater speakers. It will also display the appropriate letters on a computer screen, both for the humans and the Cetacea.
Thus, by whistling sequences of these 14 tones, the dolphins can "speak" Hawaiian, for example. English, by the way, would require about 48 tones, and it is possible for the dolphins could learn this more complex coding too.
This is one way the dolphins and the whales can learn to speak with us. When we do this, the dolphins will have an objective and recordable way to speak with us.
We envision a sound operated computer for the dolphins which will be a teaching machine so that the dolphins can teach US what THEY want us to know.
To accomplish goals like the Cetacean Commonwealth, we need this kind of two-way communication with the Cetacea. This was a major goal of Lilly's Janus Project through the Human/Dolphin Foundation. This will complete John Lilly's work.
The SongSwimmer will allow us to communicate and begin learning from each other. Demonstration of this ability will support their recognition as sentient beings under the Cetacean Commonwealth and educate many people about their intelligence.
We have tested underwater speakers of our own design, have hydrophones, and "pitch to MIDI" converters. A binaural hydrophone is designed and ready to be built and tested. The pitch to MIDI conversion has been tested on taped dolphin & Orca sounds and live with humpbacks, and the whales were playing with the interface. We have a CD called Cetacea - the Whales and Dolphins Sing demonstrating this.
(We could play part of our CD here, showing the conversion of the dolphin sounds to MIDI music and the Humpbacks interacting with the interface at sea)
Our current device is low-cost, works in our audio range, and uses off-the-shelf components. It is adequate for one or two cooperative Cetacea willing to put up with its limitations.
So far, pitch trackers track only one frequency and can be easily confused with many parts at once. It is now possible to do the signal processing in software and improve the frequency response, better source localization.
Since one dolphin can create at least 4 sounds, all different, at the same time, out to perhaps 1 Million Hz frequencies, we will need better processing to fully match their capability.
26. What are Interspecies Concerts?
Interspecies concerts are joint Human & Cetacean musical compositions & recordings. Part of Cetacean communication is musical and we have determined that the Harrison/Lucy scale is a good descriptor of their sounds. Humpbacks sing in and recognize different keys. Orca pods use musical phrasing unique to their pod etc. This brings us to the Interspecies Concert.
Using our SongSwimmer interface we will arrange that the Cetacea can sing for us. We will convert their vocalizations to instrumental sounds and broadcast them into the water through underwater speakers.
Human musicians will play along with this, and will also be heard by the Cetacea. This will be a joint artistic creation of the Cetacea and Humans, showing their creativity and ability as musicians. Our friend Kendall performed a version of this idea and some 10 humpbacks and 20 dolphins came near the shore and listened. One possible result of this activity is a hit recording.
27. What are WiFi Whale & Dolphin Communication Stations?
A first step to our communication and concert goals is the establishment of two-way communications stations. Basically, one puts hydrophones and underwater speakers on a buoy offshore to pick up and transmit whale sounds by wireless means to the Internet.
An example is the Whalesong Project at: www.whalesong.net. We are in contact with them and they are willing to help us as they did on Earth Day a few years ago. We played humpback whale songs live through them for the first time ever at an Earth Day celebration. Then we shared their live songs to the Stars for the first time ever from Earth. Our vision is to have whales/dolphins sing live for many Earth Day events next year and beyond.
We would like to place such buoys at Kehena Beach and near Richardson's Beach in Hilo. Our vision is to have many stations. They open up several possibilities, among them the chance for the whales to use them to communicate with each other. We can then listen in and learn.
28. The Navy has been using new kinds of sonar that some say are hurting the whales and dolphins. What do you think about that?
The navies of the world are in the midst of an arms race under the sea. They are developing dangerous new weapons based on what is called super-cavitation which allows rocket torpedoes to travel 200 miles/hour plus under the sea. There are now quieter submarines, e.g. hydrogen peroxide powered that have 4000 mile ranges and so on. This has everyone nervous.
They are developing all this and now want better sonar to find each other's forces at long range. From this the Low Frequency Active Sonar (LFAS) has been developed to detect quiet subs at about 100 miles range.
To do this, it is immensely loud ... about 240 decibels or dB, roughly 3 megawatts of acoustic energy. (Each 3dB increase is 10 times louder, something like the Richter scale for earthquakes). For example, 130 dB in air is painful, and at about the same level, whales and dolphins show responses that suggest it is painful for them as well.
Several strandings in the Mediterranean Sea, the Bahamas, Hawaii, and elsewhere show us, at least, that this is a dangerous system. Whales and dolphins seem to be harmed and killed at sound levels of 150-155 dB. Yet the US Navy has insisted that 180 dB is a safe level, despite reports of their own divers being harmed by these levels.
The existing sonars, the so-called mid-range sonars, also seem to be harming the whales and dolphins, for example, there was a stranding of Melon Headed whales in Kauai recently associated with naval maneuvers that included mid-range sonar. The Navy originally denied the connection, yet there is growing data that these sonar hurt things.
Many of the strandings over the last decades that were thought mysterious link to naval testing, or geological and oil exploration with explosives, gas guns and the like.
Some of the autopsies of the whales involved in these deaths show bleeding behind the brain in an area called the ret'e, bleeding in the ears, the cochlea, in the brain and around the eyes. This is consistent with shock wave damage.
Simply put, we are producing loud and increasingly lethal sound levels in the oceans. We have to stop.
Admirals have testified that there are benign, quiet alternatives to all this involving so-called passive sonar which basically uses signal processing to detect targets without the need of making loud sounds. This would be a lot safer than what we are doing now.
Still, Britain, the Netherlands, NATO countries, Russia ... at least 12 nations are developing similar systems. This has to stop very soon if we are to have oceans with whales dolphins and fish reasonably intact.
For a more complete report on these matters, please see: Our letter to the National Marine Fisheries Service at: www.planetpuna.com/MayLetter
29. What changes in society and the planet would you like to see when all this happens?
For the longest time, we have thought in Western culture that we were the pinnacle of evolution. Now we know differently. There are other conscious beings here that are more intelligent and have been here longer than we have as a species. These beings have always and continue to offer their cooperation and to show us about themselves and in some cases offer full friendship and partnership.
It is time for humanity to embrace this offer and meet the Cetacea with the finest we have. We will learn about how to make ourselves better through better birth practices. We will learn a lot by communicating with other intelligent species as we partner with them in birth, play, music and other forms of creative interaction.
We will recognize them as conscious and give them rights and protection under our laws. We will clean up the planet and the oceans to make them safe for the Cetacea. And then the Cetacea can return, with their populations growing to former levels as we treat them properly.
We will find new inspiration and insight into who we are, how we evolved, and learn more of the history of our planet. It will be the continuation of a grand adventure and now we will have other species like ourselves to share it with.
It will transform our thinking and our societies when we take into consideration the needs and wants of other species. We hope that we will develop a love and concern for the entire planet and all the species on it. This could lead to what we like to call the re-enchantment of the Earth.
30. If someone wants to have a dolphin attended birth, what should they do?
At the moment, the DAWN Birth Center is a virtual project, taking place when moms to be come to us. It is a "work in progress". It will take significant support to make it a full reality. Any assistance anyone might like to offer toward this goal is appreciated. There are so many factors involved in a dolphin attended birth that we would like to talk to those interested one-on-one.
So please contact us, we can likely assist in their quest. Again, our website is:
Our address is:
Phone us at: 808 896 8658 or 808 896 8518
31. Please summarize for us what you have told us, what would you tell us in a short "sound bite" that we should all remember?
Cetacea are the most intelligent creatures on Earth and have been for millions of years. They been our friends and helped us in many ways for millennia. They are offering their friendship and cooperation. Many ancient cultures knew this and now Western culture is waking up to this.
We have a wonderful opportunity to partner with our compatriots in the sea, communicate and play with them, birth and raise babies together, and in the process we will learn a great deal. We can then resume our status with them as co-species, where there is mutual respect and companionship.
In the process, we humans will learn and evolve, our babies will be more sound, and our oceans will be protected and restored, as will the populations of the whales and dolphins. We will end whaling of all sorts, and honor them instead as the companions and teachers they have always been.
Instead of feeling isolated on the planet, we have a wonderful group of beings to share it with, who are offering their friendship and love.
Star calls this "Beginning the great oneness".
Thank you!

Jessy Nelson and his Troy Lee Designs / Lucas Oil Honda made the trip from Oak Hill in Texas to Millcreek in Alabama for his second week of amateur racing. Jessy came away with three championships in Texas and was hoping to carry his momentum through Alabama.
Photo: Vurb Moto
The first day of racing went well as Jessy won his first 250 Moto along with his first 450 Moto. Jessy was very happy with the start of the week and really enjoyed the track in Alabama.
The second day of racing was postponed a few hours due to rain as Mother Nature came down on the Millcreek track.
Jessy's first race in the mud was the 250 Pro Sport. He came out of the gate in the second position and sloshed his way through the mud, but was not able to match the leader's pace and had to settle for second at the finish. Jessy cleaned up and was ready to redeem himself in the next 450 Moto. Just like the 250 race, Jessy found himself in second position off the start and once again struggled to stay with the leader. He was passed around the halfway mark and finished third. That was the conclusion of the first rounds of motos. Jessy still had championship hopes but knew he needed to step up his pace for the rest of the week.
Photo: Motoplayground
Round two of motos were looking good for Jessy as the track was back to perfect shape and ready for action. He had first gate pick in his 250 A race and as the gate dropped and the field rounded the first turn, Jessy was in second. The top two riders gapped third spot and looked to have a great moto ahead. Jessy started losing time each lap and could not match the leader's pace. Once again he had to settle for second at the finish. Jessy had three more races that day but could never get into a groove to take the top step and settled with three more second place finishes.
Jessy was looking good going into his final set of motos. He was tied in two of the classes for the win and for two second place overalls with a chance to still win championships.
His final 250 A Moto of the week saw Jessy in the lead and the battle for the championship was on. The front two leaders were matching each others times. On lap five, Jessy looked to be riding tight and dropped to second position. With the championship on the line, he tried everything to recapture the lead but could not match the leader and took the runner up spot in the championship.
Photo: Vurb Moto
The next race was the 450 A class and once again, Jessy was in the lead but wasn't able to take advantage and was passed on lap five and six and finished in third position for third overall.
Jessy had two more classes and at this point had nothing to lose.
Next up was 450 Pro Sport and Jessy shot out of the gate and right away started to pull a gap on the rest of the field. At the finish, Jessy had a comfortable lead and was pleased with his race.
"I feel good with that ride and can actually say that I rode well. I have been stuck in a rut and making dumb mistakes and over riding the bike the past few days."
Photo: Vurb Moto
The last race of the week was 250 Pro Sport and Jessy once again was in the lead after lap one and put in solid consistent times and finished the race with the win.
Nelson came away with three second place overalls and one third place.
It has been a good two weeks of racing and Jessy is going to take the knowledge he gained and apply it to the rest of the year. Look for Nelson and his Troy Lee Designs / Lucas Oil / Honda machine to be ready for Mammoth Motocross in June.

She ENJOYS getting fucked in front of the camera doesn't she. She brings me sooo much PLEASURE! MMMMMM!!
Angel In Chains
Featuring: Barbara Angel and Neeo
Date: January 27th, 2015
Photos: 100
When we asked Barbara Angel what she thought about sex with porn dudes compared to regular guys, the cheery stacked brunette said, "Porn guys never disappoint but they hardly ever surprise. When I have sex with a regular guy I never know what will happen and that is often the exciting part." When we next talk to Barbara, we're going to ask her if this crazy-hot scene with Neeo in a dungeon has changed her mind about being surprised. Like most mean and bad mistresses, busty Mistress Barbara thinks she can lord over all men and treat them like slaves with her psycho-dramas and heaving, heavy tits. She's about to meet more than her match in ramrodding stud Neeo. She's about to meet her new boss and become his sexy kitten in a cage. Barbara flourishes her riding crop and wants to punish him for arriving late to her dungeon playpen. Instead, he seizes her crop, seizes Barbara and begins his invasion of her body and will by seizing her big boobs. Barbara, her tight pussy and her big tits are about to be manhandled in a way she has never experienced before. Disciplined, spanked, punished, restrained and fucked as hard as a man can fuck a woman. All of Barbara's nefarious dungeon devices and instruments are going to be turned against her and when Neeo is finished with the Angel, her body and mind will belong to him.
What Members are saying about this update...

Wow! Barbara is 50 shades of hot!

Believe it or not, most stolen bicycles get that way because they weren't locked. So, your first defense against theft is purchasing a quality lock and using it whenever you leave your ride unattended (even when it's inside your garage). Thieves usually ignore protected two wheelers because so many freebies are readily available.
But, don't just slap on the lock any old which way. Thieves are the lowest of the low, but they're not always stupid. They'll get your machine or part of it, if you're lazy about securing it.
For example, most bicycles are equipped with quick-release wheels, which make it easy for crooks to make off with a very expensive chunk of your machine if you forget to lock the wheel (or the rest of the bike, if you only secure one wheel!). Likewise, if you wrap a cable around a parking meter, the thief can just lift the bike over the post's top, toss your pride and joy in his truck and take it home where he can break off the lock at his leisure.
Avoid the misery of bike theft by following our seven safety rules:
1. Tell us how and where how you'll lock your bike and we'll recommend the best models and demonstrate their use.
2. Ask us where the high-risk areas in town are so you won't make the mistake of parking there.
3. At home, store your bicycles inside. If kept in a garage, keep the door closed and store your two wheelers out of sight and locked. You never know who might cruise your neighborhood looking for valuables.
4. When stopped, if you can't take your bike inside, always lock it.
5. Always lock your bike to an unbreakable and immovable object being certain to secure the frame and both wheels.
6. Take with you any easily removed accessories and components such as pumps, computers, lights, seat bags, quick-release seats and seatposts, etc.
7. To reduce the risk of becoming a target, never tempt thieves by leaving your bike locked for long periods such as overnight, or securing it in a predictable fashion, such as putting it in the same bike rack every day.

Bad news for the New Jersey sports fans hoping to put big money on their teams: A federal appeals court has upheld a ruling that New Jersey's new sports betting law violates federal statute, and therefore should not be implemented.
This week's ruling is the latest detour on New Jersey's road toward legalizing sports betting, which began early last year when the NJ state legislature passed a sports betting law that Governor Chris Christie then signed. The law allows sports bets to be taken in the state's Atlantic City casinos. Though the casinos supported the move, none opened sports betting houses for fear of being shut down by the federal government.
Those fears were reinforced on Tuesday when a three-judge panel at the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the ruling of U.S. District Judge Michael Shipp, who found that the state law conflicts with the 1992 Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act. That law restricts sports gambling to the states of Delaware, Montana, Nevada and Oregon. New Jersey actually had the opportunity to become the fifth state in 1993, but the state failed to act in time.
That's bad news for Christie, who has been an ardent supporter of allowing sports betting as a means to bring money into the state. That potential income became even more important last fall when Hurricane Sandy ravaged New Jersey's coastline, particularly the Atlantic City home of the state's 12 casinos.
Shortly after signing the law last year, Christie had said that he expected legal action but that the state would go forward with its plans regardless of efforts to derail them. Despite his bravado, it seems that Christie is running out of road. According to the AP report, this latest ruling means that New Jersey's only hope to legalize sports gambling will be convincing the U.S. Supreme Court to take the case.

DAWSON CITY, Yukon - The top teams in the Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race were preparing to hit the trail again Friday afternoon after taking a mandatory 36 hour layover.
Defending champion Hans Gatt of Atlin, B.C., who led the teams into Dawson, was the first musher allowed to leave. He was given a departure time of 12:57 p.m. Yukon Time.
Gatt had a strong lead ahead of his nearest competitor, Martin Massicotte of St. Tite, Quebec, who could leave at 2:21 p.m. William Kleedehn of Carcross will be next out at 2:48 p.m. Thomas Tetz of Carcross can leave at 3:55 p.m., followed one minute later by Hugh Neff of Coldfoot. John Schandelmeier of Paxson can hit the trail again at 4:03 p.m.
The frontrunners have a 150-mile run to Eagle. From Dawson onward, the mushers should have an easier time of it. Snow has been falling steadily along much of the trail ahead and temperatures are dropping.
For being the first musher to reach the Gold Rush outpost of Dawson City, Gatt collected four ounces of gold.
Gatt lost his voice on Tuesday, making it impossible to yell directions to his dogs.
"It's good that they know what they're doing," Gatt croaked to reporters who swarmed him at the checkpoint early Thursday morning.
Despite getting advice on how to cure his laryngitis, he wasn't getting any better after some much needed rest Thursday. He was making up for the sleep he has been missing.
Gatt said he was falling asleep constantly while descending King Solomon's Dome, about 30 miles out of Dawson City. He said since the start of the race on Sunday, he only managed to get one and a half hours of sleep until arriving in town for the mandatory layover.
Before he started the race, Gatt had some serious doubts about whether he could repeat last year's win. Some of his dogs became ill and he ended up leaving three of his main dogs at home.
However, he said he's been surprised by some 3-year-olds in the team. In fact, half of the 10 dogs remaining in his team have never been in a long-distance race before, giving him more reason to be pleased with his team's performance.
Last year Gatt pulled into Dawson City behind Tok musher Peter Butteri. Gatt caught up with Butteri in the last 100 miles to win the Quest in only his second try.
Gatt, who leaves for the 150-mile trip to Eagle shortly after noon today, said all he needs to do now is maintain his lead for the rest of the race. He said he had some doubts about whether he will be able to keep ahead of friends William Kleedehn and Thomas Tetz, who were third and sixth into town Thursday morning.
Gatt said he wasn't too worried about rookie Martin Massicotte and he didn't know how good two-time Quest champion John Schandelmeier's fourth-place team looked.
Kleedehn said he's also not worried about Massicotte, a virtual unknown from Quebec who surprised everyone when he was the first one to arrive in the first checkpoint at Braeburn.
The French Canadian has consistently stayed with the front-runners, sometimes leading them.
"You watch him, see how's he doing, and see how his schedule is," Kleedehn said. "This unknown guy, he's a pretty nice fella with some really good dogs, but he doesn't know what the heck he's doing. He's already racing. Basically, it has to be a miracle for him to win the race."
By midmorning Friday 18 of the 19 teams remaining in the race had reached Dawson City. Paul Geoffrion, a rookie from Whitehorse, was bringing up the rear, in 19th place.
Darrin Lee of Nenana became the latest musher to scratch, dropping out of the race Thursday. Lee told race officials the weather was too warm for his dogs.

We recently had the opportunity to sit down with former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, a socially liberal libertarian who is running for President as a third-party candidate.
Johnson, who struggled to gain traction with the Republican Party nationally, is now the frontrunner for the Libertarian Party nomination. If he wins the Libertarian nod, his next goal is to poll high enough to get onstage with President Obama during the debates this fall. Although he has flown largely under the radar, Johnson remains the best bet for a viable third-party candidacy this fall.
He talked to us about his political identity crisis and his distaste for the GOP's culture war rhetoric, and told us what it felt like to be passed over for the Republican primary debates last year. An avid outdoorsman, Johnson also explained why running for President is a lot harder than climbing Mt. Everest.

Derek Jeter announced the 2014 season will be his last via a Facebook post Wednesday afternoon. This shouldn't come as a surprise. Jeter will be 40 in June and is coming off an injury-plagued 2013 season, dating back to a broken ankle in the 2012 ALCS.
Even so, it's still a shocking announcement considering Jeter is still — to many — the face of the sport.
Looks like for the second straight summer the Yankees will have a farewell tour for one of it's "Core Four" players. This could trump the pomp and circumstance seen across baseball as Mariano Rivera said goodbye last summer.

Taiwan Bonds Have Fourth Weekly Gain as Growth Estimates Cut
Taiwan's government bonds gained for a fourth week, the longest winning streak in five months, as the slowing economy spurred demand for safer assets. The island's dollar rallied as U.S. jobless claims fell.
President Ma Ying-jeou said in a televised speech on Oct. 10 that reviving growth will be a top priority, as Deutsche Bank AG cut its 2012 forecast to 1.3 percent from 2.1 percent on Oct. 8, citing a slump in exports and weak domestic demand. The Asian Development Bank reduced its estimate by half to 1.7 percent last week. Overseas shipments rebounded in September after contracting for six consecutive months.
"Yields are sliding toward a record low so traders are acting more cautious," said Eric Hsing, a fixed-income trader at First Securities Inc. in Taipei. "People are starting to worry this slowdown is going to turn into a structural problem for the economy."
The yield on the 1.125 percent notes due September 2022 fell one basis point to 1.135 percent this week and was little changed today, according to Gretai Securities Market. Benchmark 10-year rates reached an all-time low of 1.125 percent on July 26.
Government data on Oct. 19 may show export orders, an indication of shipments over the next one to three months, rose 2.04 percent in September from a year earlier, after falling 1.5 percent the previous month, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The economy contracted 0.18 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier.
Currency Gains
Asian currencies and stocks rose today after official data showed yesterday that applications for U.S. unemployment benefit dropped to 339,000 in the week ended Oct. 6, the least since February 2008.
The Taiwan dollar strengthened 0.2 percent today to NT$29.36 against its U.S. counterpart, the biggest gain in two weeks. It was little changed for the week. One-month non- deliverable forwards in the currency climbed 0.1 percent to NT$29.16 during the five days, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
One-month implied volatility in the Taiwan dollar, a measure of exchange-rate swings used to price options, fell 28 basis points, or 0.28 percentage point, to 3.51 percent from the end of last week.
The overnight interbank lending rate was little changed at 0.39 percent, a weighted average compiled by the Taiwan Interbank Money Center shows.

Enameled copper provides some of the brightest and most colorful rings you will find. They are made by coating the wire with a durable plastic enamel that should not peel or flake. All rings are tumble polished for a bright shiny beautiful jump ring.
Silvered enameled copper is made by plating the copper wire with a layer of pure silver before enameling, which creates a brilliant shine. Unlike niobium and titanium, copper rings must be colored before they are cut. This leaves the original copper wire visible at the cut. However, these are saw-cut rings, so if you close them well, no copper should be visible.
As with all colored rings, some fading will occur over time, but we find that can add a nice dimension to your work. The actual colors may differ slightly from batch to batch, as each spool of wire can be slightly different. Generally speaking, the color in enameled copper is much more reliable than any of the anodized metals.
Our jump rings follow the American Wire Gauge (AWG), also known as Brown and Sharpe (B&S). All sizes listed are inside diameter (I.D.), measured in millimeters which corresponds to the size of the mandrel onto which the wire is wound. Use these I.D.'s as a guide not an absolute.

Skip to comments.President Obama's Taxpayer Funded UAW Event ( Tennessee )
Posted on 07/29/2013 3:41:26 PM PDT by george76
Under the cover of Obamas campaign to sell his budget .. it is no coincidence that his visit is occurring at the same time Volkswagen is being pressured to accept the UAW into its Chattanooga factory.
The United Auto Workers have tried every other option at this point including calling in a favor with the union that resides in Volkswagens home plant in Germany.
it doesnt look like the UAWs normal campaign of propaganda seems to be succeeding; therefore, its time to call in the big dog himself and hope their investment of $148,967 into the reelection of President Obama does the trick.
However, didnt the UAW and President Obama do their research enough to realize that Tennessee is a Right to Work State governed predominantly by Republican officials? With only Oklahoma and South Carolina bleeding a deeper red then Tennessee, wouldnt they realize the people of Tennessee are intelligent enough not to want the economic doom of GM, Chrysler, and Ford to fall on the factory which has brought more then 3,350 jobs to the Volunteer State?
I have faith that Obamas visit wont do much in this debate and organizations like Citizens for Free Markets and workplacechoice.org who are leading the fight against the UAW, will eventually be successful in keeping the Chattanooga plant from unionizing. The facts are simple and I can guarantee the Volkswagen plant workers do not want to see the same fate that befell their plant in Detroit ... the labor unions disease which eventually, like most diseases, results in economic death for a company.
(Excerpt) Read more at townhall.com ...
is not going to bite them in the ass with Obama Care.
My friends down in Tennessee can see the writing on the wall (and the can read it too), they don't want their state becoming another "Detroit". Many of those same workers in the VW plant probably got their start in a Detroit area automotive related plant which at the time, was HEAVY UNION influenced. They left Detroit and went "back home", only to be followed by the Unions who are now trying to get them back. Hopefully, they will stick to their guns and keep the union out.
...and they can read it too.....Sorry my fingers don't move too fast.
With todays lower wage scale, they better keep the Unions out. It is hard enough to raise money for a family without having to buy new cars for Union Goons.
Another Million dollar Air Force One flight.
Buddy of mine went from Toyota in Kentucky to Volksvagon for this very reason or he's on his way soon !

PS3MrEnigma on PS3 Mount Points, FileSystems and Alejandro
As a follow-up to his previous article, today ps3mrenigma details PS3 Mount Points, FileSystems and Alejandro on his blog (linked above).
To quote, roughly translated: Following the publication in the day yesterday the source code indicating the SYSCALL used for the assembly system is no longer necessary for security, keep this information privately, and whether the information actually had not been published by my, despite claims to the contrary by many users, was to prevent misuse and attack the flash, anyway as I said in my last post we had in mind when it was polished release something new, everybody is free believe us or not, but it is.
For more information, an old post of mine: http://ps3mrenigma.wordpress.com/201...eversing-post/
As is the case, step assemblies are writing, how they work, and which are assembled and disassembled as explaining in turn the SYSCALL used in the process.
First of all understand that this post is a technical post, so that many users will serve you for nothing more than for your personal knowledge, which I think is worth more than any other program exists or can be made to root it.
NOTE: This post is original, you can gradually expand as arranging information in case something is not quite accurate.
REPEAT is an initial post to explain this issue. Of course anyone who wants to help is welcome to leave comments.
Utlize the PS3 system setups similar to what might be to mount a drive in a Linux environment.
The first thing listed is the type of drive that let's ride, which specifies a string of the following:
- CELL_FS_DUMMY: This type of unit is used in machines to mount a drive Retail DUMMY (ie, exists but does nothing) in unity "/ app_home." This type is also used in the Debug or RefTool machines in the event that starts the Release mode.
- CELL_FS_HOSTFS: This type of unit is used for mounting the unit "/ host_root" and "/ app_home."
- CELL_FS_IOS: BDVD_DRIVE: This type of unit as the name suggests is related to the unit "/ dev_bdvd" in a generic way.
- CELL_FS_IOS: PATA0_HDD_DRIVE: Indicates the type of unit to mount the "/ dev_hdd0" this type is used in models such as Phat of 60 gigabyte.
- CELL_FS_IOS:PATA0_BDVD_DRIVE : Tipo de unidad que ayuda a montar la unidad "/dev_bdvd", este tipo es utilizado en los modelos por ejemplo Phat de 60 gigas. - CELL_FS_IOS: PATA0_BDVD_DRIVE: Type of drive to help mount the "/ dev_bdvd" this type is used in models such as Phat 60-gig.
- CELL_FS_IOS: PATA1_HDD_DRIVE: Indicates the type of unit to mount the "/ dev_hdd0" this type is used in models such as Phat of 60 gigabyte.
- CELL_FS_IOS: PATA1_BDVD_DRIVE: Type of drive to help mount the "/ dev_bdvd" this type is used in models such as Phat 60-gig.
- CELL_FS_IOS: BUILTIN_FLASH: Type in the mounted unit that specifies a generic flash drive, eg / dev_flash. "
- CELL_FS_IOS: COMPACT_FLASH: Compact Flash type unit to help mount the unit "/ dev_cf." Logically only for models that support it internally.
- CELL_FS_IOS: MEMORY_STICK: Like the previous aid in mounting the unit "/ dev_ms." As with the previous one only if it is supported internally.
- CELL_FS_IOS: SD_CARD: SD_CARD type unit to assist the assembly uniadd "/ dev_sd." You need to have internal support.
- CELL_FS_IOS: USB_MASS_STORAGExxx: Type of drive to help assemble the units "/ dev_usbxxx." xxx can be any numeric value starting from the 000 for the unit "/ dev_usb000", etc.
- CELL_FS_IOS: USB_MASS_STORAGE: Same as above but to mount a generic "/ dev_usb."
- CELL_FS_IOS: BUILTIN_FLSH1: Type of unit suitable for mounting the "/ dev_flash" only.
- CELL_FS_IOS: BUILTIN_FLSH2: Type of unit suitable for mounting the "/ dev_flash2" only.
- CELL_FS_IOS: BUILTIN_FLSH3: Type of unit suitable for mounting the "/ dev_flash3" only.
- CELL_FS_IOS: BUILTIN_FLSH4: Type of unit suitable for mounting the "/ dev_flash4" only.
- CELL_FS_UTILITY: HDD0: Hard HDD0
- CELL_FS_UTILITY: HDD1: Hard HDD1
- CELL_FS_UTILITY: HDD2: - No Information -
- CELL_FS_UTILITY: HDD: Hard Disk
- CELL_FS_PSEUDO: - No Information -
- CELL_FS_ADMINF S: To be used in the assembly of the unit "/ app_home."
The second thing to point out is the type of file system that we use in that unit, indicated by a string of the following:
- CELL_FS_DUMMYFS: Just a DUMMY file system, to be reported in the IOS DUMMY seen before.
- CELL_FS_ADMINFS: To be used with the IOS with the same name.
- CELL_FS_FAT: To mount a drive using the FAT32 file system.
- CELL_FS_SIMPLEFS: sometimes used by hard drives and flash2. It is mainly used to check if the drive is formatted in this way allows the formatting of the drive.
- CELL_FS_UFS: To mount the hard drives, as we shall see later.
- CELL_FS_UDF: To mount the drive "/ dev_bdvd."
- CELL_FS_ISO9660: Allows you to mount drive.
- CELL_FS_EFAT: - No Information -
- CELL_FS_PFAT: - No Information -
The third thing to specify is the name of the unit in a string, the name of unity has to be a drive name recognized by the system for the unit to be mounted.
It can be one of the following:
- / App_home: Unit to have a filesystem on a remote computer as a PC. Also used for debugging environments.
- / Host_root: In conjunction with the above.
- / Dev_bdvd: The BDVD drive.
- / Dev_flash: The master flash unit, where most of the firmware is housed.
- / Dev_flash2: flash drive that stores the registry with the configuration of the system, for example.
- / Dev_flash3: Third flash drive with system files. It is advisable to back up her as well.
- / Dev_flash4: Unknown, appears indicated in IOS, but still do not know if its existence is real or that could be your real name or use.
- / Dev_hdd0: The unit's internal hard disk of the console, which for example would be the demos, etc..
- / Dev_hdd1: Second primary disk drive, used primarily as a cache.
- / Dev_usb: usb-generating unit.
- / Dev_usb000 - 127: USB Drive specifying the port to use for the number being 0 port to the far right of having the machine. The 1 would be the adjacent to the left, and so danddo around all the numbers.
- / Dev_cf: Compact Flash Unit.
- / Dev_sd: Unit SD card.
- / Dev_ms: Unit for Memory Stick.
Knowing this I'll explain the error codes we can find in the case of a failed installation or removal:
- ERROR_KERNEL_ARGUMENTO_INVALIDO: 0 × 80010002 -> This error occurs when we specify any argument to the call of the SYSCALL improperly or nonexistent, such as a null pointer, but could also be reported in the case of sending a combination not recognized or a bad combination of parameters to lv2.
- ERROR_KERNEL_DEVICE_BUSY: 0x8001000A -> This error occurs when trying to remove a unit that still has any active link, such as a file descriptor, etc.
- ERROR_KERNEL_I / O_ERROR: 0x8001002B -> appears when there is no machine that model / firmware a particular IOS, or when despite being a right combination of parameters that the unit can not be found, for example, an inserted USB the appropriate port, etc.
- ERROR_KERNEL_INVALID_MEMORY: 0x8001000D -> When specifying a pointer incorrectly or in a memory region is not allowed.
- ERROR_KERNEL_8001003B: 0x8001003B -> Appears when a unit is mounted bdvd bad, but not know its real meaning.
- ERROR_KERNEL_ILLEGAL_ACTION: 0 × 80010009 -> precisely that reason, some firmware security check prevents that action can take place.
- SUCCESS: 0 -> The return value on success.
After these explanations we see the SYSCALL that affect what we mean.
As indicated on the post
That is why we use the SYSCALL 838 -> lv2FsUnMount this:
For example, to remove the primary flash:
Int ret = lv2FsUnMount ("/ dev_flash"); "
The unit specified must exist or else ARGUMENTO_INVALIDO receive the error, just as the unit must be free to be occupied, or else we will find the error DEVICE_BUSY.
Once successfully performed this operation, the unit will be disassembled and THEREFORE NOT ACCESSIBLE.
For example, for you to try this SYSCALL make a program that BDVD disassemble the unit, installed in the machine, and then enter a game in the PS3 XMB, XMB will recognize when to start your application and remove the drive, then exit it, when you return to the XMB the drive still appears visible, with the name of the game even (this is because the VSH information that was saved, and PARAM.SFO), but if you try to access the disk you will see that I returned an error that the unit is not mounted,
At this point I'll explain how it worked 'Alexander' in order to successfully perform disassembly of the main flash.
As you can see if you realize a program that attempts to remove the flash from the XMB, you will find the final DEVICE_BUSY error. Esto es normal. This is normal.
Entonces, como desmontaba 'Alejandro' la unidad?
Then, as he dismounted 'Alexander' the unit? Really 'Alexander' not dismount, I did was change the name on the board assemblies "/ dev_flash" so then the next one could be mounted.
WARNING: For the system in case of failure to rearrange the drive name to what was, by going into the XMB, the system would think that since there is no flash for was removed. That is why if 'Alexander' failed at some point in the process expecificaba turn off the console with the power cord or switch back.
That is why if we do something with an existing unit, the first thing we have to do is remove it using SYSCALL or else forcing the "removed" on the mounting board.
As put in the post:
Indeed, the key SYSCALL this process is the SYSCALL 837 -> lv2FsMount.
To mount the flash drive would use this sentence to the previous presumiento were removed:
Int ret = lv2FsMount (CELL_FS_IOS: BUILTIN_FLSH1 "," CELL_FS_FAT "," / dev_flash ", 0, MODE, 0, 0, 0);"
Where MODE can be a value between 0 / 1.
As can be seen here was not any exploit or anything like that as some users are hard to say without having any idea of how the "Alexander" and even worse without even knowing how the system worked inside the PS3.
Of course try to mount the drive as writable BDVD logic fails.
I hope this post has been somewhat lighter assembly system, access and permissions.
Now you just need to try them all, OF COURSE WITH CAUTION, before making foolish to think the consequences.
Utilities that have this are endless, from the example given with 'Alexander' to create emulated virtual drives, eg drive, usb (this is done by the system), and many more.
As long as I JaiCraB both indicated that you can leave your comments both positive and negative impacts on the blog.

Thanks for this amazing update.
12-19-2010 #3jakob777 Guest
WOW, that is a ton of info. I know I am not ganna get all of this but I am sure there is ganna be a ton of people that will get a great amount out of this. Thanks for the hard work putting this together and sharing!
12-20-2010 #4crax0r Guest
With this info on hands we can now:
1) create real dev_bdvd redirections of hdd folders
2) mount 2tb usb drive formatted as UDF, making it possible to store files >4gb)
12-20-2010 #5deank Guest
It is amazing how none of these two is possible... just read the post again.
Also you'll be a superhero if you manage to format any HDD with UDF filesystem.
12-21-2010 #6crax0r Guest
here you go:
Windows Vista/7 (maybe xp too), don't use /q (quick format)
format <driveletter>: /fs:UDF
12-21-2010 #7deank Guest
I spoke too soon. Windows doesn't have a parameter to set UDF type (like 2.50), but I got a spare 74GB external USB HDD and I'm formatting it with UDF under Vista. I'll post later if I have any progress!
Thanks for the tip!
12-21-2010 #8hacked2123 Guest
12-21-2010 #9deank Guest
Of course it supports 4GB+ files. All Blu-ray movie discs use UDF 2.50 or 2.60 and there are files of 20-30GB in size. The problem is that I have no idea what will happen with a HDD formatted as UDF (which is basically for optical media).
12-21-2010 #10vicx Guest
with hp fortmat tool you can force to format a hdd in udf 2.5 mode i think i tried this a few months ago ! i hope i am right!

The Importance
of Job Descriptions
All employees like
to know what is expected of them and how they will be evaluated. Job descriptions
can also be a great value to employers. Creating a job description often
results in a thought process that helps determine how critical the job
is, how this particular job relates to others and identify the characteristics
needed by a new employee filling the role.
A job description
typically outlines the necessary skills, training and education needed
by a potential employee. It will spell out duties and responsibilities
of the job. Once a job description is prepared, it can serve a basis for
interviewing candidates, orienting a new employee and finally in the evaluation
of job performance. Using job descriptions is part of good management.
Components of a
Job Description
Using job descriptions will help an organization better understand the
experience and skill base needed to enhance the success of the company.
They help in the hiring, evaluation and potentially terminating of employees.
All too often, there is a misunderstanding of what a position entails
and a well-prepared job description can help both sides share a common
