Wooden cookie cutter rendition of the harrowing real life experiences of Tami Oldham and Richard Sharp lost at sea for 41 days after being caught in Hurricane Raymond, missing every opportunity to reveal any eternal truths.
Any older teen and up who enjoys a disaster/endurance movie. Some language and a non-sexual full nudity female scene. No point in scaring younger kids with the genuinely frightening hurricane scenes in this vapid soap opera disaster movie.
The famous classic – Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe – a man marooned on an island – is ultimately about his spiritual conversion from a materialist and slaver, disobedient to both his Earthly father and his Heavenly one, to a devout Christian. His external trials make him suceptible when faced with internal struggles as well, to turn to God and the Bible. Only in his newly redisovered faith does he find the peace and contentment he had sought and becomes a better man as he comes to appreciate God's love and know he is under his Creator's watchful eye even when apparently desolate and alone on an island. The island represents Crusoe's spiritual aloneness and, much like in Groundhog Day, (which comparison would make a great blog for another day), he is not rescued until he learns true altruism and his place in God's plans. He accepts his massive and repeated tribulations as a reading on the Bible tells us in Hebrews that: "the Lord disciplines the one He loves".
Adrift is an open set up for a re-creation of this scenario. A troubled young woman, who drifted through life long before she was set "adrift" by Hurricane Raymond, has a difficult childhood, irresponsible parents and an anchorless way of life – leaving home at 18 to hop her way via odd jobs to Tahiti. There she meets Richard and the two leave for a "jaunt" to San Diego on a job to transport a friend's yacht. On the way they encounter a CAT 5 hurricane, which I personally know is terrifying on land. Even seeing the movie, I can not truly imagine the trauma they must have endured on the open ocean. I frankly, having survived Hurricane Rita on land, had trouble watching some of their ordeal in the boat.
The film does a horrifically good job reenacting their desperate struggle to stay alive in the belly of this mountain sized monster with waves moaning and rising above them like the "angry giant" of many prayers entreating God's protection against these very phenomena. Miraculously the boat survives with Tami still on it. She finds Richard severely injured and seeks to nurse both him and the boat in a 1500 mile trek through the Pacific Ocean.
While I understand this is based on a true story, there was every opportunity for the scriptwriters to use her ordeal and miraculous arrival in Hawaii to tell more than just an action adventure story of survival. A documentary or reality episode or a newspaper clipping could have done that. If we are to endure, with Tami, her terrible struggles, it behooves a good writer to do so with a purpose. Instead we are treated to a fact sheet: She meets Richard – check. They fall in love – check. They go on the boat – check. They endure a Hurricane – check. She manages to acquire enough food and water to survive through luck and ingenuity – check. She gets to Hawaii – check. And……?
After spending 96 minutes with this young woman in a recounting of the most traumatic experience of her life (and more traumatic than I hope most of us ever have to endure) we are left knowing no more about her than we started at the credits. A few odds and ends of trivia about the way she grew up, but no more.
I can not imagine anyone not changed by such a deeply churning experience. Sadly, we do not know, based upon this movie, what those meaningful and core maturations might be.
What we are left with is a two person version of Tom Hanks' Castaway – which suffered from the same flaw. All "event" with no substance. Much like having spaghetti with no sauce – filling but not satisfying.
As I said, the special effects of the hurricane were very well done – a bit too good frankly. The acting of Shailene Woodley (Divergent series) kind of amounted to a lot of vapid shallow smiles and giggles during the courtship and sunburnt glowering/angry/determined to survive faces during the tribulations part. Sam Claflin (Hunger Games veteran) wasn't given a lot to do other than be "in love" or stoically be in pain.
And while I understand this is based on a true story, the portions where the movie shows their meeting and relationship, shown in flashback, are pedantically slow. The audience frequently was reduced to the third wheel watching the slow pace of an actual dinner.
During one such date Richard explains how unpleasant sailing can be – "You're usually sleep deprived and delusional, wet, hungry or all three." She asks why he sails and, perking up, I expected some important philosophical epiphany which might guide us, like her sextant through the rest of the movie. Instead he sort of mumbles about how infinite the horizon looks. And? I thought. And? But nothing. So his whole raison d'etre, the entire reason he is out there with this young woman, the reason they end up risking their lives in a painfully unrelenting endurance marathon was because —– the ocean is so very pretty.
There is so much more that could have been done with this movie – just with that moment. But they let it flit by like Tami's early years – objectless and purposeless.
Captain Dan in Forrest Gump (click the picture to watch the clip) gives us more philosophical musings and a better insight into the meaning of life during his one rant to God on board Gump's ship during a hurricane as he screams "Come on! You call this a storm?" than the entire script of Adrift. Bogie and Hepburn simmered with more chemistry in one glance on The African Queen during their struggles as they make it up a river to confront a German gunboat during World War I and a storm, than Claflin and Woodley managed in the entire movie. This is because we were introduced to Captain Dan and Rose and Charlie, respectively, in substantive ways and so we come to care about them. But Tami and Richard, as portrayed in the movie, are two dimensional lovers in a cookie-cutter romance. This is a shame because I'm sure there was more to the real people involved in that.
Aside from – don't cross the ocean in hurricane season – the audience did not learn much, either about the main characters or from their experiences.
I feel badly for the ordeal that Tami and Richard went through but that is not enough to carry a movie. A movie has between 80 and 120 minutes to tell you a story. It behooves the writer to make it worth your while to sit through whatever they are going to tell you. Movies are supposed to be a condensed version of real life and the best of them will make you a better person for having seen it. It is inadequate for a movie to be a moment-by-moment blow-by-blow exposition without direction or purpose.
In short and unfortunately Adrift is most aptly and appropriately named.
Mild warnings: There's no reason NOT to see this film if you are an older teen and up. There is a bit of language, no gratuitous sexuality although there is one non-sexual gratuitously naked scene where Woodley bares absolutely all in order to happily writhe about on deck in the fresh water of rain. The hurricane scenes alone are horrifying and way too scary for younger kids, much less are the views of eggregious injuries endured by Richard and exposed to the audience.

01 Jul Will Extra Fees Discourage Credit Card Use?
We all know that we pay more for purchases made with a credit card, right? Sure, there is the outrageous interest that the credit card companies charge for the convenience of plastic over cash. But what if a growing trend of discounts for cash catches on nationwide and credit card purchases become even more expensive as a result?
That is the trend in some states. Connecticut recently passed a bill allowing gas stations to give a discount for cash purchases. That means then when you pay with a credit card, no only are you going to pay interest on that purchase, but you are paying more than a cash customer right from the beginning.
Other states also allow discounts for cash. A merchant can't charge more than the regular price for a credit purchase, but he can charge less than the regular price for a cash purchase. (Even the lawyer in me can't see that difference!)
Could the economy shrink even further if we wean ourselves from the addiction of credit and start paying for everything in cash?

Plastics and consumer goods companies from across the world have formed an alliance to plough $1bn (£777.6m), into combatting plastics waste.
The Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW) hopes in time to increase this investment to $1.5bn.
It so far has 28 members (see list) who have committed the $1bn over five years to develop methods to minimise and manage plastic waste, and promote solutions for used plastics through a circular economy.
AEPW chair David Taylor, president and chief executive of Procter & Gamble, said: "Everyone agrees that plastic waste does not belong in our oceans or anywhere in the environment. This is a complex and serious global challenge that calls for swift action and strong leadership.
"This new alliance is the most comprehensive effort to date to end plastic waste in the environment. I urge all companies, big and small and from all regions and sectors, to join us."
The AEPW has been set up as a not-for-profit organisation that includes companies that make, use, sell, process, collect and recycle plastics.
Initial projects include partnering with cities to design integrated waste management systems where infrastructure is lacking, especially those along rivers which transport large amounts of unmanaged plastic waste to the ocean.
It will also fund the development and promotion of technologies and business models that prevent ocean plastic waste and improve waste management and recycling, with an initial focus on south-east Asia.
The AEPW will promote a global information project to support waste management projects with reliable data collection and methodologies, and create a capacity-building collaboration with intergovernmental organisations such as the United Nations to train officials and community leaders.
It will support Renew Oceans, a programme designed to capture plastic waste before it reaches the ocean from the 10 major rivers most affected by the material.
Veolia chief executive Antoine Frérot, an AEPW vice-chair, said: "Success will require collaboration and co-ordinated efforts across many sectors – some that create near-term progress and others that require major investments with longer timelines.
"Addressing plastic waste in the environment and developing a circular economy of plastics requires the participation of everyone across the entire value chain and the long term commitment of businesses, governments and communities. No one country, company or community can solve this on their own."
AEPW members:
Berry Global
Chevron Phillips Chemical Company
Formosa Plastics Corporation USA
Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings
Mitsui Chemicals
NOVA Chemicals
Procter & Gamble

Will regulatory requirements affect the type of authentication used?
Regulatory compliance can be a thorn in your customer's side but an opportunity for you as a solution provider. Find out how you can use regulatory requirements to help choose an authentication solution for your customer.
Is the organization required to comply with any regulatory requirements that may affect the type of authentication used?
As the federal government or other regulatory agencies get more involved in the protection of customer or patient information, organizations may find themselves required to follow regulations or face stiff penalties. These could include HIPAA for healthcare, PCI for companies that work with customer credit card information or FERPA for educational institutions.
One of the bigger issues at play here is the fact that the organization may not even be aware of these regulations. As the security professional and adviser to the organization, you should point out what the customer needs to consider. It will also have an impact on the recommended solution you end up installing. Protecting customer financial information may be a high priority for the organization, so consider what methodologies will provide the best protection for the organization while still taking into account any financial or complexity constraints.

Babylon homes for sale are largely a mix of historical estates and more recently-constructed buildings. Communities within the Town of Babylon and their associated information are listed below.
The Town of Babylon is one of ten towns on Long Island within Suffolk County, New York. As of the 2010 US Census, the population of the town was 213,603 and its population density was 1,900/square mile. Originally, the region was named Huntington South. A man named Nathanial Conklin moved to the area with his family and eventually named the burgeoning town "New Babylon" after the ancient Biblical city. However, the town wasn't officially formed until 1872, when a partition of the Town of Huntington met.
Historical places within Babylon include the Nathanial Conklin House, the Frank W. Smith House and the Sisters of St. Dominic Motherhouse Complex. Babylon also contains several state parks; the Belmont State Park, the Captree State Park, the Gilgo State Park and the Robert Moses State Park.

Amityville was originally called Huntington West Neck South, and was initially visited by settlers of the area seeking salt hay. By the mid seventeenth century Chief Wyandanch of the Montaukett Native Americans had given the first deed to land in the area. The origin of the name Amityville is of some debate; one account is that during a town meeting someone exclaimed, "What this meeting needs is some amity," while another cites that local mill owner Samuel Ireland suggested naming the town for his boat, the Amity.
Amityville is notably the setting of the book The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson. The story of the book can be traced to an actual murder that occurred a few years before the book was published in 1977. Other notable locations include Amityville Station, Broadlawn Manor Nursing Home, the Lauder Museum, the Amityville Public Library, and the Amityville Village Hall.

What now exists as Babylon Town and Village was initially a part of Huntington Town and called South Huntington. The area was lightly settled towards the end of the seventeenth century.

Today, January 11, 2008
I apologize for poor picture quality.
Not exactly a dramatic change, but a change nonetheless. What is not apparent is the improved muscle tone around my chest and arms and face. I feel better about myself and more confident. Best part is, I have stuck with this program longer than any other workout so far, and will continue to stick with it. I feel an all over fitness that makes me want to do the workout every day, and has gotten me excited about fitness for the first time in my life.
Thank you, SimpleFit. Seriously.
My 2 months.

Year 7 visit Fairthorne Manor
As part of our cohesive and bespoke Year 7 induction programme, all Year 7 students visited Fairthorne Manor on Wednesday 21st September 2016 as their Drop-Down Day activity.
They were accompanied by the willing and eager Year 7 Tutor Team; this activity was designed to help our new students to develop their team-working skills and encourage them to forge long-lasting friendships looking forwards. In addition, as a school, we wanted to bring HB2, the founding principles of learning at The Henry Beaufort School, to life!
The different activities that were on offer blended perfectly with the HB2 core values of: Mutual Learning, Resourcefulness, Getting Unstuck and Reflective Learning. In particular, we hope that the skill of reflecting back on their triumphs, and areas that they need to develop further, will continue throughout their first year at The Henry Beaufort School.
As a year group, we all had a marvellous time; both staff and students alike participated in activities ranging from archery to kayaking! It was fantastic to see all students actively contributing and completing the tasks to the best of their ability; they were a credit to themselves, their year group and the school as a whole.
Ms. Rawson, Head of Year 7, commented, 'This day has been a fantastic success and I am so proud of the students. As always, they can be relied upon to attack every challenge with zeal and enthusiasm; this is a solid foundation to, what will be, a great start at Secondary School'.
Everyone involved in the trip left Fairthorne Manor tired, but with great memories and new friendships that will help to make their time at The Henry Beaufort School an even greater success. Well done, Year 7!

Register your home appliances
Have you ever checked if your fridge, tumble dryer or washing machine have been recalled for safety reasons?
It happens more often than you might think – and today's the day you find out how you can keep your peace of mind that your kitchen appliances are safe.
Register My Appliance Day (16 January) is all about making consumers aware of registermyappliance.org.uk, a website which allows you to simply list the details of the appliances you own in order to be alerted if ever manufacturers become aware of an issue.
Earlier this month, we attended a fire at a home in Basildon that had been caused after a tumble dryer caught alight.
While the homeowner suffered smoke inhalation, they were fortunate the situation did not become more serious.
So - how can you be sure that it doesn't happen to you?
Registermyappliance.org.uk lets you put in the your appliance model info and contact details so that, should there ever be safety issues around your white goods, you're aware and can safely send them off for recall.
You can register appliances that are up to 12 years old, with almost all typical manufacturers.
Put simply – you wouldn't leave your car unchecked for safety issues, so why ignore potential risks in the comfort of your own home?

The 4 Best Celebrity Beauty Looks From Paris Couture Week
I SO wish I was in Paris right now. The very best time I've ever had there (not that I've been so many times or anything) was exactly this time of year. The weather was perfect, and more importantly in my book, it just so happened that all the boutiques had their summer sales on. Oh yes: if you don't know about the twice-a-year sales in France, then you MUST plan your next European vacay around 'em. I'm talking Prada and Miu Miu shoes for the price of Nine West. It was almost ridiculous.
Another important thing that happens around this time each year in Paris are the haute couture shows. I'll never score an invite; I know my place (and it's at the Galeries Lafayette). But no matter! I've got photos from the front row anyway. And holy hairdryers, these celebs look freaking amazing. Come take a look and get inspired...
Diane Kruger at Chanel
A side pony AND a beret! Can you even stand it? I totally want to do this (although I'll save the hat 'til September; it's too hot right now). Anyway, together they do all the beauty work for you in terms of making a statement. And you don't even have to wash your hair! All you need is a slick of red lipstick, rosy blush and maybe some taupe shadow like Diane has here. P.S. I'm not understanding why she's only wearing one earring—deliberate or did she lose the other one?
Milla Jovovich at Chanel
Also at Chanel was Milla... and is it just me or is she looking the best she ever has lately? This darker hair colour is better on her than the lighter, coppery shade she was wearing a while back—it brings out her eyes and seems more flattering on her skin tone. But what I love here most of all (obvs) is the bright fuchsia lip. Doesn't it make you want to wear that colour right this second? It's making me go to my happy place.
Christina Hendricks at Versace
Have I talked about how I'm sort of anti-self-tanner these days? My one (and probably only) application of the season a couple weeks ago was just way too dark for my liking... and so I think I'm just going to embrace the pale and go full Nicole Kidman. Or Christina Hendricks. Same thing, really. I'm not sure I'll look this exquisitely peaches 'n cream, but here's hoping. What's lovely about this look, besides her complexion, is how her blush and lip shades harmonize so well with her skin and hair, yet don't shout "look at me!" or anything like that. Also check out her eyes—fabulous job on the delicate tight-lining in the waterlines.
Jessica Alba at Versace
Is it getting hot in here? Oh wait—it's The Alba. I'm not sure about the appropriateness of strapless and leather during daylight hours, but whatevs... she looks sooper seksi. The makeup is, I think, one of the best examples of how a classic smoky eye should look in 2012. All soft and smudgy but not too heavy on the lashes and paired with a MATTE, nude lip. As for the hair, I'm on the fence with the colour... and the curls could benefit from some brushing out. But that's nit-picking, really.

Student Conduct Procedures
If you have allegedly breached the University regulations in some way and student conduct procedures against you have begun, the SRC can advise and support you.
We've created a Student Conduct leaflet about the procedures.
All students have to follow the rules of the University in terms of both studying and behaviour. The rules are those set out in the University Calendar. If students are suspected of breaking these rules, the University uses the Code of Student Conduct to investigate the situation and, if necessary, impose a penalty. The Code of Student Conduct can cover a huge range of situations, from misuse of University facilities to harassment or misconduct. It also covers major breaches of University regulations, such as plagiarism or misconduct in exams
Where an allegation has been made that a student has engaged in misconduct, the case will be investigated by the Senate Assessors for Student Conduct.
If you receive notification from the University that they are investigating you under the Code of Student Conduct you should contact the SRC Advice Centre as soon as possible as they will be able to provide you with support and advice on how you should proceed and can represent you at any hearing(s) required.
Please see the University Calendar (Fees & General Information section) for more on the various codes, including the Plagiarism Statement, Code of Student Conduct, Code of Practice on Unacceptable Behaviour, and Regulations and Code of Practice for the Use of Information and Communication Technology Facilities at the University of Glasgow.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued regulations implementing Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), which went into effect Jan. 10, 2011.
GINA prohibits the use of genetic information in making decisions related to terms, conditions, or privileges of employment. It restricts employers from requesting or purchasing genetic information; requires them to keep any genetic information they may have about applicants or employees confidential; and prohibits retaliation and harassment based on genetic information.
The Act covers credit unions with 15 or more employees.
"Genetic information" includes information about family medical history or an individual's or family member's genetic tests, requests for and receipt of genetic services, and genetic information about a fetus or embryo. The term "family member" extends to a person's fourth-degree relatives (great-great-grandparents and children of a first cousin).
GINA doesn't restrict tests for the presence of drugs or alcohol. Age and gender aren't considered genetic information, nor are race or ethnicity, unless the information is derived from genetic testing.
There are some situations in which an employer may acquire genetic information without violating GINA, such as when the information is acquired:
The exception for inadvertent acquisition of genetic information was intended to address the "water cooler problem"—such as when an employer learns about genetic information by overhearing a discussion between co-workers or during casual conversation with an employee.
The exception applies when an employer receives genetic information in response to a question about the well-being of an employee or his/her family member ("How are you?" or "How's your son feeling today?") or when it receives unsolicited communication about an employee's family member (e.g., e-mail indicating that an employee's parent has cancer).
The exception also applies to some interactions in the "virtual" world, such as a social media platform from which an employer unwittingly receives genetic information. The exception is narrow: Employers can't seek genetic information without violating GINA.
When an employer requests health-related information, such as to support an employee's request for reasonable accommodation under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), it should warn the employee and/or health-care provider not to provide genetic information.
The regulations provide "safe harbor" language employers may use to avoid violating the Act: "[GINA] prohibits employers and other entities covered by GINA Title II from requesting or requiring genetic information of employees or their family members. In order to comply with this law, we are asking that you not provide any ge-genetic information when responding to this request for medical information..." See 29 CFR 1635.8(b)(1) for the full text of this safe harbor language.
Employers in possession of genetic information about applicants or employees must keep the information confidential and separate from other personnel information. It may be kept in the same file as medical information subject to the ADA.
Genetic information placed in personnel files prior to GINA's effective date of Nov. 21, 2009, need not be removed, and an employer will not be liable under GINA for the mere existence of that genetic information in a personnel file. However, disclosing that genetic information to a third party is prohibited.
GINA doesn't preempt state or local law that provides equal or greater protections, and it doesn't affect an individual's rights under the ADA or state or local laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability. Visit eeoc.gov for more information.

At Westchester Health, we've seen our share of nosebleeds over the years. Starting when your child is in preschool and continuing through the teenage years, periodic nosebleeds are just a fact of life, explains Heather Magnan, MD, a pediatrician with our Westchester Health Pediatrics group, in a recent blog. Although nosebleeds can be alarming, most are not serious. Here's what might be causing them and how you can treat, and hopefully even prevent, them.
Monthly Archives: July 2017
How Breathing Secondhand Smoke Seriously Damages Your Child's Health
Most people know that smoking is seriously harmful to their health, potentially even deadly. But what they often overlook are the dangers of secondhand smoke. Here at Westchester Health, what we find especially troubling is the fact that secondhand smoke is especially harmful to children, explains Rodd Stein, MD, FAAP, a pediatrician with our Westchester Health Pediatrics group, in a recent blog.
Is It a Cold or Sinus Infection? How To Tell.
Even though we're in the middle of summer, here at Westchester Health we still see a fair amount of colds and sinus infections (sinusitis). Patients come in sneezing and coughing with watery eyes and a stuffy nose, and want to know: is it a cold or a sinus infection? Our answer: the type of symptoms and long they last give us clues as to whether it's a virus (cold) or an infection.
Best Ways To Prevent Eczema Flare-Ups
Here at Westchester Health, we see a fair amount of eczema. Fortunately, it's not contagious, but it does tend to run in families with a history of eczema or other conditions such as hay fever and asthma. Different triggers can make it worse, such as stress, allergies and sweating, which can cause itchy, painful flare-ups.
The Best Ways To Treat Your Child's Swimmer's Ear
Summer is here, which means a lot of swimming and therefore, a lot of swimmer's ear. Here at Westchester Health, we tend to see a lot of this condition and offer parents this information to help them know how to treat it and better yet, avoid it altogether, because it can be very painful.
At What Age Should You Have Your Child Evaluated For ADHD?
Here at Westchester Health, a lot of our parents want to know whether or not their child has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), what it means, and what to do about it. When a child is not doing well in school, finds it hard to sit still, is constantly restless and/or seems to have trouble concentrating, it's understandable that parents become concerned.
How Nutritious Food And Plenty Of Exercise Help Create A Healthy Kid
At Westchester Health, we often get questions from our parents concerning their children's exercise level or eating habits, and we'd like to share some of our knowledge here. We firmly believe that the health and well-being of your child to a large degree involves fitness and nutrition.

So You Want to Clear Yourself of The Controlling Matrix Implants?
So You Want to Clear Yourself of The Controlling Matrix Implants?
Well I was feeling that way too, so much so that something inside of me was screaming to be let free. The whole implant removal realization came about for me gradually, after a myriad of healings and other smaller implants had been removed on the road to recovery (after the big car accident in 2001). My life consisted of one therapy, one consultation, and one healing after another…this is why I have put this information together. If you are ready to jump in, order through the "add to cart" button below or read on for what has been one of THE most significant discoveries to free The Enlightened Masters….that means You!
Keep reading the entire story and all about the process below the PayPal buttons…
* If you are purchasing the Implant Removal Process for someone other than yourself, please notate that on the order with their name, e-mail address, phone number, and mailing address in the Comments section within PayPal.
* If you will be receiving the correspondence and package for this individual, please indicate that as well.
* Also, remember to check if your PayPal shipping address is current and correct.
* If you are using a company name, purchasing for someone else, or using someone else's credit card please clarify who will be receiving this service. Thank you.
* PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR PHONE NUMBER IN THE NOTES SECTION IN PAYPAL IN CASE WE CAN NOT GET THROUGH TO YOU OR VICE VERSA (due to archontic interference).
* Once you place your order, you will receive instructions for the implant removal process via email. If you do not receive this welcome letter acknowledging your order within 48 hours, please let us know by emailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com
* We are streamlining this process and are now sending packages out ahead of the sessions, so that each of you can receive the needed support right at the time of the extraction and afterwards.
* If you would like to add any additional personalized Galactic Essence Formulas, beside the essence that will be provided to you for the implant extraction process, choose 'Continue Shopping' from the PayPal screen. It will return you back to this page, where you will then click here to order any additional personalized formulas you need. You can get more details at this link:
Depending on your current state of health mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, will determine if you may want to reorder additional personalized essences for your situation after the implant removal process. Everything works in layers. Another consideration is if you live overseas, you may want to take advantage of reordering IRP support essences which can be mailed with the original package and save on shipping time for future orders.
Instructions For Taking The Essence
- Before taking your essences, please make sure you succuss or shake the bottle up against the palm of your hand 8 to 10 times EACH TIME YOU USE THEM.
- Vibrational essences are about consistency not about quantity. Squeeze about 4 drops under your tongue or third of a dropper full anywhere from 2 to 4 times per day OR AS NOTATED ON THE LABEL OR PAPERWORK PROVIDED.
- Avoid touching the tip of the glass dropper with your tongue or mouth so you can avoid contamination.
- Avoid food or drinks within 15 minutes before or after taking your essences. Also avoid caffeine, onions, garlic, spicy foods, mints and minty toothpaste around the time you take you remedy. NOTE: If you don't have enough time to wait, please attempt to wait 5 minutes away from food or drink and then take the essences.
- If anything comes up, DO NOT RESIST! ALLOW things to flow off of your field and journal while taking them.
- Remember that my essences have a consciousness so ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT right before you take them each time!
- Avoid placing your essences in a hot car or around anything over 110°F/ 43°C. Also, avoid storing you essence around moisture, high humidity or in direct sunlight. Therefore, do not store your essences in the bathroom or kitchen.
- If the bottle has been exposed to too high temperature or too much time has lapsed then the liquid may begin to taste rancid or metallic or there may be a discoloration of the liquid within.
- Make sure you avoid placing your remedies around or near heavy magnetic and electrical fields such as computers and large screen TV's or even X-Ray machines and magnets.
Instructions For Using The Oil
- Keep your essential oil blend away from your galactic essences. Strong smelling perfumes/colognes, eucalyptus, menthol, balms, vapors and essential oils can possibly nullify the essences.
- I always recommend applying the essential oils to the soles of the feet, over the heart, at the base of the skull (where the dip in the neck is) and over the 3rd eye. You can also dab the oil blend on the meridian points such as the inside of the ankles, wrists and temples if desired. The oil blend is very concentrated so a little goes a long way.
- Definitely rub the essential oil blend on the bottoms of your feet when you get up in the morning and go to bed at night or more if you are called to do so. Also rub it over any sore or stiff locations.
Now back when I had my extraction it was an excruciating experience and Pam and I talked about what, how, and why that occurred. I of course, did not want anyone else to relive my experience, so we went to work to come up with a solution that we could offer anyone who is drawn to get these foreign objects out of their etheric bodies. Assisted by The Ascended Masters, Sirians, and Pleiadians, we were instructed with a 3 level package in order to support all of the bodies and all of the processing that takes place. Trust me when I say a good deal of thought went into this.
So here is the process:
- Jerry and our Healing Team perform the implant removal process remotely (which can take 1 to 2 hours, and by the way, even the most clean and clear practitioners I have sent through this process, ALL have had implants and normally NEVER or rarely have anyone work on them). This will be done in the comfort of your own home. All YOU have to do is rest or sleep while Pam or Jerry does the rest. It will be helpful to put out the intention that you are open to your next major leap in consciousness. You do not have to see them, nor do you have to be on a phone call with them.
- I have created 7 core galactic formulas specifically designed to support the extraction, transition, and void, as well as assist in holding the changes, transition through the implants "empty space" (which typically has "tentacle-like fibers" extending out through the various parts of the body and wrapping themselves around organs and systems), and provide emotional support through this huge process. In addition to that, I have created a specific customized formula regarding the core impediments that are keeping you from your next major leap in consciousness and your preparation for Ascended Mastery.
- I have put together a specific 1/6 oz./5 ml essential oil blend to support the physical body with the transition of letting go of any implants and any affiliated soreness. For example, with me, once I applied essential oils on the area where the implant was removed, the pain subsided and was no longer there the next morning.
This three tier solution is attempting to do TWO things:
1. Assists with all of the implant removal process.
2. Places people on a completely different and more elevated plateau after this process.
The body, its fields and grids, will receive comforting assistance with the deluge of energetic upgrades we have been receiving, as well as the accelerated crystallization, reconfigured space, operational changes, and sudden awakening of cells and tissue that have been intruded on by the implants.
I personally feel this is the next natural step to claiming your sovereignty. Everyone has had completely different experiences, but I for one had painful visions of being a cyborg and the pain from that timeline was intense. I knew that this was one of the underworld experiences I needed to purge and I am better off because of doing this. I feel lighter, more present, and now have no pain in my lower back, hips, and buttocks. This area has been screaming in pain since the car accident in 2001. Now I know what's been underneath it all and why.
I truly feel Jerry and our Healing Team are some of the best healers I have ever met and worked with. In all of my years working with various healers, (and many of you know I have a heck of a track record of working with a copious number of healers), I have found our healers to be compassionate, diligent, thorough, kind, and working in a capacity that most do not. They literally clears you all the way out to infinity. They rock!
Alexandra's personalized essences literally carry the magic, the vibratory frequency, and the highest levels, bringing forward the magic from ancient times. She was a wizard and an alchemist in the highest form of the Melchizedek Order, right alongside Merlin and all of those very high alchemists of that time. She worked with them and learned from them, but they learned from her as well. I have this vision of her standing in this laboratory where she has all of her stuff before her. All of this magic comes from her hands and her 3rd eye, as she looks into her creations and adds ingredients to her bottles. I see her creating these fabulous essences to help people come to fruition, to be exactly who they are. That is why they are so special.
She agreed to come back at this time to assist with the ascension of the human race, specifically to help humans become aware and elevate their frequency in order to advance themselves so they can get out of this 3D matrix and move forward. Everyone needs to be at a certain frequency level so we can jump, but all of us have been put into this matrix. Through the implant removal process, we are unplugging ourselves from that. The essences literally unlock the key that unlocks the blockages, keeping others from knowing their mission, knowing who they truly are and their highly-evolved self.
Alexandra's essences are helping awaken the Light Warriors so they can help with the shift in the consciousness. Her essences are a huge key in bringing about the ascension of the human race.
She along with Merlin and The Ancient Ones carry the knowledge, the codes, the vibrations, the sacred symbols, the sacred colors, the energies, the magic, and the sacred geometries. No one at this time can do what she does. Others do it, but are not at the level that she is. No one can bring forth what she does, at least not to the magnitude and level that she does it."
We obviously want to offer an affordable package to cover the healing, the formula, and the essential oil blend. Our price for the whole process is an amazing price of $288.00 plus shipping.
We have set up a step by step procedure.
If you have any other questions, you can drop us an e-mail at:
Your Implant Removal Process Will Include:
- A remote implant extraction and healing from Jerry,
- A customized Galactic Essence Formula from Alexandra to support extraction(s) transitions.
- A specialized blend of Essential Oils to support your healing process.
For international orders, we will be shipping via USPS international economy. But if you would like to pay for more expedited shipping, it is now available through the PayPal options and you may want to consider it, as it typically cuts the shipping time in half. If you would like to make any notations, please add them to the comments field below.
If you would like to add any additional personalized Galactic Essence Formulas, beside the essence blend that will be provided to you for the implant extraction process, choose 'Continue Shopping' from the PayPal screen. It will return you back to this page, where you will then click here to order any additional personalized formulas you need. You can get more details at this link. Your current state of health mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, will determine if additional personalized essences will be needed for your situation after the implant removal process. Remember that all healing works in layers.

Two injured workers are not going to be getting damage rewards from their employers after the Ohio Supreme Court ruled against them.
Rulings were overturned in suits brought forth by Larry Hewitt and Bruce Houdek, both of Cleveland relating to their workplace injuries. The courts found their employees did not deliberately intend to injure the workers and therefore the plaintiffs were unable to collect civil damages.
The 2005 Ohio law concerning workplace accidents states that employees who are hurt at work are only eligible for workers compensation benefits unless there is a willful intent to injure the workers. If that intent in proven, plaintiffs can pursue larger awards.
Hewitt was working for LE Myers Co when a piece of equipment he was carrying hit a live wire. The worker was shocked through his arm and hand with 7,200 volts of electricity. He received second and third degree burns to his body. He also suffered from chronic pain and nerve damage, categorizing him as permanently disabled. Hewitt filed a personal injury suit against his employer and was awarded more than $597,000 in 2010 based on the employer instructing Hewitt to wear the wrong type of gloves. The Supreme Court ruled in essence that gloves were in the control of the employee and are not equipment safeguards.
Houdek, who died in November at age 44, was working at ThyssenKrupp Materials in their Cleveland warehouse. He was crushed by a side loader working to reach racks 25 feet high. As a result of the accident, his right leg was amputated in 2008 after the accident. Houdek's attorney argued the employer could have done more to protect Houdek's safety but the Supreme Court stated that a worker had to prove deliberate intent to receive an award.

A great idea for a Quilt for Kids Quilt. Mrs. Baker's first grade class all brought squares of fabric in, made a wish and wrote their wishes down. They then put together a beautiful quilt and story to go with the quilt. It is the kindness of this teacher and these children that will make our world a better place.
What a wonderful experience for those children to have at such a young age. I am sure they will remember it throughout their life. Here are the beautiful children I am talking about:

Nancy called out from our front door, "Helloooo," to see if we were home. When we answered her, she headed back out to her car to get a grocery bag full of goodies, then headed back up the sidewalk with her present: a bag of fresh squash. She apologetically explained the big, fat squash in the bag; it was for zucchini bread. So that was exactly what I did with it yesterday afternoon.
The squash was so enormous that I only used half of it to do a double batch of zucchini bread. I tried to give the remaining section of the green monster to Mary Jane, next door, since she also likes to make zucchini bread, but she had plenty, so it's in my fridge for another double batch.
Mary Jane makes a super-yummy dessert bread, but the recipe that I have is a true vegetable bread with onion and parmesan cheese, and it was my recipe that I was eager to use, since I hadn't made it yet this season.
Ummm…I'm a batter-taster, (and no, I haven't died yet from eating raw eggs mixed in dough, but I also haven't served breads in this uncooked form to any guests, so a big sigh of relief can be breathed at this point) and the squash mixture was exactly as I'd remembered it–light, almost fluffy in texture with a delightful hint of onion subtly blending with the parmesan–and so I had to have several tastes. Just to be sure. You know how that goes. Or maybe you don't. But no matter. If you're curious about the bread or if you are a closet taster who wants to have this same experience, just follow the directions below:
Tea Time Zucchini Bread
1 1/2 cups shredded, unpeeled zucchini
3 cups flour
5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
4 T sugar
4 T grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup yogurt or milk
6 T butter, melted
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 T grated onion
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 2 8 x 4 " pans.
Mix all ingredients together. Bake 45 min's or till done.
Best served warm, but our guests seemed to like it just as well not so warm, which was what it was since their arrival was a little later then they'd planned. In fact, they liked it so much that she wanted the recipe. I promised her a blog post, so Annie*, here you go! Now you can make it at home!

How Windows Can Save the Barnes & Noble Nook
On Friday, Barnes & Noble made a marketing announcement that in Germany, on Windows 8.1, for a while, it would give away some free e-books and magazines. Customers can get a few freebies for downloading the Nook app onto their PC or tablet. It's a classic loss-leading sort of pitch, although there's very little loss in the new digital book age. Of course, the stock market was unmoved by this small gesture and -- no? The market was moved? Oh, I see -- the stock has jumped over 10% since Friday.
Investors are excited about this deal because it clarifies a path to success for the Nook. Microsoft's continued commitment to the system seems to be the business's current saving grace. If Barnes & Noble change the face of its brand from the Nook tablet to the Nook app, it might grow the brand in a quicker and more efficient manner, relying on others to provide the tech that runs the app.
Take a look, it's in a Nook
Barnes & Noble has yet to make a big splash as a tech company. The Nook tablet received relatively solid reviews on launch, but its inability to keep pace with the iPad has made it an also-ran, at best. According to recent reports, Apple is still way out in front when it comes to tablets sold each quarter.
Instead of focusing on the hardware, Barnes & Noble's most recent decision seems to focus on making the Nook software and store the focus of the brand. That's a smart move, as the real money is in digital sales regardless of which device they end up on. While Apple made waves early on by locking customers into a physical and digital world, newer entrants to the market must realize that recreating the success of the iPod/iPad is unrealistic -- there are simply too many similar players.
The Nook is still sitting in the back seat, watching as the rest of Barnes & Noble cruises along. Last quarter, the Nook division lost $61.8 million before tax. That's not great, but it is better than the division had been doing. In the same quarter a year ago, for instance, the Nook division lost $190 million.
Nook potential
Despite its horrific results, the Nook does have a few things going for it. First and foremost has to be its ties to Microsoft. The software giant holds a 17% stake in the Nook division and it's still clearly interested in working with Barnes & Noble to make the Nook a success.
The second boon is the sheer size and continued existence of the Barnes & Noble retail store. While the company is pulling back on in-store Nook displays, it still provides users with free in-store borrowing, a place to buy accessories, and a constant reminder of the Nook brand to potential buyers.
Those two backings give the Nook a path to potential success we talked about earlier. By trying the free download idea out in a smaller market, Barnes & Noble can determine whether to roll it out in the U.S. That might open the door to a whole new set of users and customers who have no desire to own a Nook, but who want the reader functionality that the app provides. This is an excellent move for Barnes & Noble, and investors should look forward to seeing a similar tactic on domestic soil soon.

Topic: The new Windsurfer LT
Have anyone tried this?
This is a new board designed by Bruce Wylie and made by Cobra, as an upgrade to the Original Windsurfer, and made so it can be branded by other companies, Starboard and Exocet have already done this and Naish should bring theirs to market soon.
http://www.windsurfingukmag.co.uk/cobra … t-concept/
The Starboard one:
It was introduced and used during the just finalized Windsurfer Worlds on Lake Garda, Italy
https://www.surfertoday.com/windsurfing … -champions
Will be a perfekt match to a SummerFreak instead of the class legal sail/rig
I'm looking in to this due to the simplicity, but so far my personal take on the pros and cons is;
- Light weight ~15 kg - much lighter than my Mistral Comp by ~8 kg
- Simple - no footstraps, sliding masttrack etc.
- Performance - is apparently fast and will plane (see the video from the Worlds)
- Interesting price point (apparantly an introduction offer?)
- Perfect learning platform
- Another huge board to transport
- High risk of overlapping my other longboards
- The rig is old school, but needed if you want to compete! - the board can be bought without it though
This is a serious competitor to the Kona, but more simple...
(Had a Kona and sold it again, as the it's to much of a compromise board...!)
The AHD Tactik is an other contender with no straps
And apparently there is an other short raceboard by Bruce Kendall in the making/production; https://www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Win … all?page=1

We were talking about bluegrassers Steeldrivers with a mainstream Nashville producer recently when he remarked that the band's former singer-songwriter, Chris Stapleton, is "the most talented guy in Nashville."
Say what? In fact, unless you follow the doings of Music Row or you are one of the bluegrass cognescenti, it's doubtful you've ever heard of Stapleton. We recently caught up with him Nashville.
Lonesome Onry and Mean: Reckless is almost entirely you co-writing with Mike Henderson and that combination really seems to click. Now that you have left the band, will that partnership continue?
Chris Stapleton: Mike and I haven't written since I left the band, but that doesn't mean we won't, I think, we just haven't. But that's co-writing in general; you write with someone a lot, and then you don't for a while. That's just how it works.
LOM: How do you view the two Steeldrivers albums?
CS: I prefer Reckless over the first album. Musically, I feel it's a better representation of what the band is. It allowed the multi-instrumental capabilities of Mike and Tammy to be showcased because we overdubbed some parts, where the first record was mainly just live in one room. I think we were able to maintain that one room spirit, though.
To me, it's still a live-feeling record. My vocals and guitar were recorded on one mic, whereas the first record was two mics for me. And there are no click tracks. Also, I prefer the songs on this record, but that's just my opinion. My only regret is I wish we had played an instrumental. I would've liked that.
LOM: Are you doing lots of co-writing or working alone? Which do you prefer? Who are some of your favorite collaborators?
CS: My main job has always been commercial country songwriting. That being said, co-writing is generally the most efficient way of writing songs for me. I do, on occasion, write songs by myself, but 98 percent of the songs I write are co-writes. These days I'd have say my favorite co-writers are Lee Miller and Jim Beavers.
I feel like I can always come away with a pretty good song, or at least something I like, with either of those guys. Although, this week Casey Beathard and Darius Rucker are on my list of favorite co-writes for sure. We've got a No. 1 this week.

LOM: Name one young talent that none of us have probably heard of yet.
CS: There's this guy from Australia named Joe Robinson who's like 19 or so. Incredible.
LOM: Your new band, the Jompson Brothers, is a radical departure from bluegrass and from commercial country, like Allman Brothers or Skynyrd meeting AC/DC. What's the plan with that band?
CS: The short-term goal for the Jompson Brothers project is awareness and finding an audience. From there, we hope to play more shows, write more songs and record more records. As far as it being a long-term thing, I don't spend time on things that I think aren't. That band was born out of writing songs.

I had been writing with Greg McKee (guitar) and he and I had turned writing into all-night garage jams. We invited Bard McNamee (drums) to come hang one night because we thought it would be fun to write with a drummer. Not long after that we decided we needed a bass player. I called J.T. Cure who l'd played various kinds of gigs with back in Kentucky.
One time jamming with the four of us in my garage, and I'm pretty sure we all knew we should at least play some gigs together.
LOM: Will you guys be playing Texas?
CS: No formal Texas plans, but I have talked with Wade Bowen about maybe opening for him at some point. If he wants to make that happen, we'll certainly show up. We would love to play in Texas.

In a small cave of the Glacier, underneath the machines and an Northern Lights, a Young Fae seeks knowledge of Unweaver. While it is hard for his type of magic to work here, in this place of little nature, he taps into what he trails he can.
He was on his was to The Gathering, a right of passage for young Fae, when they want to find their place in mound. Now, crossing a mound is normally an instant thing, but during his transition, he got ripped out and dropped into this wintery world. He always had the knowledge that there were different plains, where different creatures lived, such as the Human realms. He never expected to arrive at one while still untried.
For 1000 moons he has been stuck in this frozen place, his own magic taking on elements of the surrounds, infusing it within him, so he could better adapt. With so little Flora to help him regenerate the little magic of his own, he started to tap into the Fauna of the area. This has lead to him acquiring different senses, and after a few years, he now has the ability to speak in animal tongues.
While this all has helped with his survival, it does not help with his situation. He is too young and weak, to bridge into his own world. the closest thing to a mound he has is a little cave of frostshrooms.
What he has gathered from above, in the city below the aurora, is that a very powerful being cast this plain into an ice age. Why, no one seems to know.
Two separate factions have evolved, lead here by the power of the Aurora, hoping that they can tap into it's natural source, and find the mystery to unraveling this glacial curse.
There are also talks of Heros, from other dimensions, being a key part to unlocking these lands of it's heavy binds. Due to this, he has stayed hidden, not wanting to be brought into the midst of the humans. One faction is more akin to his own people, dipping into the shimmering steams of natural magic, but the other, they are more experimentative. Most human cannot see the Fae, unless they want to be seen anyway, but he has stayed cautious, just in case.
His one small piece of hope is the hearthstone he keeps in a pendant, woven out of the finest mythril by his mother, which was spellforged by his father. When he starts to lose hope, it throbs and glows, warming both him and his soul. The magic of his home will never cease to find him, and one day, he knows he will be reunited. Until then, he will be a silent guardian, keeping the glacier safe, so that the humans can have their time to find answers, no matter how long it takes.

#WF Musical Education + Playlist
Sceptics retire your sneering glares. Seven days of progressive dance and electronic music in a tiny fishing village in the south of France might sound like a match made in musical hell, but with Gilles Peterson behind the trawler wheel, this marriage is fixed in permanent honeymoon.
Having – I'll shamefully admit – not actually heard of Worldwide Festival before this summer, I wasn't entirely convinced about the idea myself. But with the promise of lazy beach days, fishbowls full of French wine and a week's worth of consecutive all-night parties, I conceded to my more musically on the ball friends and went along for the craic.
With twenty or so of us all descending on the island of Sète, housed in everything ranging from beautiful big villas to tiny little hovels, it was sure to be a lark, but I definitely didn't anticipate that it would amount to a complete musical re-education.
Like many before me, I'm a big Ibiza lover. I've gone as many years as I can afford. But even the most die-hard fans surely have to admit that you don't often find anything particularly surprising behind the Amnesia, Space or DC-10 doors.
Big names drop heavy beats and everyone has a brilliant, sweat-filled, mind-bendingly good time, but it's all very much as expected. Just as you can probably predict having your hangover infinitely exacerbated by some leathery British lout guzzling vodka-redbulls and yelling about his latest speed-balling experiment as you try to get some shut-eye on any of the beaches near San Antonio.
Lesson Number 1
Sète is not the French Ibiza. Apart from the odd, slightly over-excited teenager who couldn't quite seem to keep his football away from your picnic, the beaches were filled with sleepy sunbathers, a range of remarkably beautiful bodies and a gaggle of people dreamily swaying along to whatever was coming out of the Corniche-stage speakers.
Lesson Number 2
People don't go to Sète to fuck themselves over. If Worldwide had a Talk-to-Frank style message , it would be: "drugs are fun, obviously, and dabble if you will, but waking up with no memory of the amazing music that you've shelled out a considerable amount of money to listen to is pretty sad, if not completely stupid."
This consensus among WF goers became potently clear to me when someone nearby started talking about his mate who'd taken so much ketamine that he'd gone completely off-radar for a few days. Instead of amusement, I saw only a wave of disbelief and faint distaste registering on the faces of his audience.
Lesson Number 3
Gilles Peterson knows how to curate a pretty bloody awesome festival. I didn't go for the line-up. I really had only heard of a handful of the names before. But I came away with an entirely new musical library.
Laura Mvula – not strictly dance, electronic, or even particularly progressive, but she's strikes a bloody gorgeous Skunk-Anansie-Cum-Screen-Siren figure and her tone is as velvety and delicious as they come. She's definitely poppier than my usual tastes, and in fact the tastes of all my friends too, but even the most bassline-loving among us had to admit her as a guilty pleasure.
Mount Kimbie – one of the few groups I had actually heard of. I was apprehensive, though, about whether their mellow, down-beat vibe could cater for a large audience. Well, they'd clearly thought about this themselves. By ramping up the bass and adding a few other effects they had everyone enthralled.
Gilles P himself – winning. Not much else to be said here. We'd all headed down to the Théâtre De La Mer earlier than usual to be sure of catching J-Rocc…who was actually a bit disappointing. The Peterson set that followed, though, was one of the most delightful and crowd-pleasing of the whole week.
Thundercat – embarrassingly, despite our best intentions, we were so busy trying to find something other than cheese and peanut butter to have for dinner and persuading our more hygienically-challenged flatmate to have his first shower of the week, that we actually missed this set. However, on our return, heading to YouTube to find out what we'd missed, we all decided that Thundercat is sliiiick. More fool us.
Bonobo – a star player. The Bonobo set was arguably my favourite of the entire festival. In a similar vein to Mount Kimbie, I was again worried that the music wouldn't translate for a big arena. It did. I actually gave up on people for an hour or two. The sound was of such a whopping, skin-tingling, shirt-ruffling calibre that I found myself stepping forwards into the crowd, not wanting to risk being interrupted by drink offers or pleads to go stand in the toilet queue.
Cashmere Cat – the wild card. He's a young, weird-looking Norwegian with suspicious dance moves and an affection for things with paws. It sounds annoyingly abstract or contrived. But the strange moombah-dub-trap-whatever-the-fuck-you-wanna-call-it that washed over us was mesmerising. It is a tragedy that his set, which ended up being the finale to the whole week, was cut short by the fun-police, but what we got of it was pleasantly, surprisingly brilliant.
Laura Mvula – She
Bonobo – Ten Tigers
Thundercat – Heartbreaks + Setbacks
Lone – Airglow Fires
Bonobo – Cirrus
Mount Kimbie – Before I Move Off
