Ramp Creates Power as Cars Pass (Or Does It?)
A British company spent a million quid developing and building this "Electro-Kinetic Road Ramp" -"The Ramp operates by virtue of a number of articulated plates placed in the road. When vehicles weight is exerted on the plates they are moved up and down and by means of a specially designed and developed mechanism, a generator is driven, which is capable of producing AC current at 50 cycles or DC current.. The generators output will vary according to the frequency and weight of the traffic, but in general terms will be capable of producing between 5 and 10kW."
Now our high-school physics is a bit rusty, but we do remember some rule about conservation of energy. Is this device doing anything at all besides inefficiently converting gasoline (fuelling the cars) into very expensive electricity? Someone help us out here. ::Hughes Research via ::WWMNA

The pipe band was founded in October 1960 by a small group of former members of the Scottish Regimental Association of Yorkshire Pipe Band ("The Yorkshire Jocks"), during a meeting at a well known Public House in Leeds.
Formed as a self-supporting, non-profitmaking organisation with the aim of encouraging interest in the music and culture of Scotland, they quickly formed an association with the Leeds Scottish Country Dance Club and were able to provide an added attraction with the performances of the dancers.
Early Days
Having caught the eye of a wrestling promoter, who had formed a Scottish wrestling team touring Yorkshire, Lancashire and the North of England, the pipe band was invited to provide a group of pipers to lead the wrestlers into the ring. These engagements provided the firm base from which the band was able to gain publicity, thence finance for the provision of equipment.
By now the pipe band had begun to attract the support of many and varied organisations. Engagements followed and, during 1961, no less than 30 were fulfilled. By 1962 there were 16 playing members and many repeats of engagements from previous years were forthcoming.
Various items of uniform were purchased in addition to a complete new set of drums and 12 matched Hardie chanters. These essential items were necessary to enable the pipe band to prepare fully in order to realise its ambitions of becoming not only a group of entertainers, but also a successful competing pipe band.
Affiliation and Competition
During 1964, the pipe band gained membership of the Scottish Pipe Band Association (now Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association) and entered their first competition, organised by the N.W. England branch at Chorley. Engagements were plentiful and varied and by 1965 membership had increased to a total 25 and we had started to reach the prize list in competition.
The next target was to improve the appearance of the band and to this end new kilts, plaids, tunics and feather bonnets were purchased, with badges designed and made by our leading drummer Bob Webster.
Our reputation continued to spread and appearances on the TV programmes "Opportunity Knocks" and "The Good Old Days" from the City Varieties Theatre, together with engagements to support the Scottish Wrestling Team helped to provide good publicity.
The pipe band was sorry to lose the services of P/Sgt William Bell who joined Pontefract Pipe band as Pipe Major at the end of 1969. A former member of the Glasgow Shepherds Pipe Band, Bill was one of the driving forces behind the Band's progress in competition, the highlight of which was achieving 1st place in the Grade 4 at the Cowal Highland Gathering, one of the five major competitions for Pipe Bands.
Sounds of the 70s
In the early 1970s more successes in competition followed, with a subsequent re-grading to Grade 3. Meanwhile the band continued to flourish and the learners' class, held in conjunction with the then Leeds Education Committee, and which had started in the early days of the band, was providing a constant source of pipers to replace leavers. Loyal band members some of these proved to be – three of these student pipers from the 60s are still active playing members today.
The learners' group is still in existence, but is now run entirely by the pipe band each Monday evening. You can get in touch using the contact form.
1972 saw Leeds United returning from Wembley with the F.A. Cup and the Band was there to greet them. In subsequent years we also played at Elland Road Ground for the Benefit matches arranged for the great players Jack Charlton, Billy Bremner and Peter Lorimer.
Leeds City Council introduced a Lord Mayor's Parade during this period and we were part of this event for many years. We also participated in a variety of new events including various fund-raisers for the Variety Club of Great Britain and the Northern Horse Show. A visit to Dortmund, twinned with Leeds, to join their 1100 years celebration was a great success (as was the visit to one of the local breweries!). Shortly after our return to Leeds, we were accorded a Civic Reception by the Lord Mayor.
Recent Times
In more recent years, we have concentrated on being an entertainment band. We have continuing strong demand for our appearance at many Carnivals and Galas, especially during the summer months throughout the county of Yorkshire.
We are proud of our past achievements and are determined to continue creating the opportunities for learners to achieve their ambitions. Current membership stands at over 20 playing members, with a very active beginner's class. Our Drum Corps features three generations of one family, with Natasha joining her mother and grandfather.
The future
In 2010, we celebrated our 50th anniversary and look forward to being able to continue to fulfil the objectives of our founding members so many years ago. This last year has seen a sudden influx of new members, of various ages, standards and experience and so we are encouraged to feel that the interest in this element of our British tradition and culture is still thriving in 2015!

In all honesty, I have no idea how I came to know Jeff Goins. I think it was through Bryan Allain's great blog community Killer Tribes, but I can't be sure. What I do know is that Jeff is masterful at marketing and at balance, despite what he says below. I had the privilege of meeting Jeff face to face for the first time last week. It was truly a pleasure. Enjoy his honesty.
1. Tell me about your latest project.
I just wrote, Wrecked: When a Broken World Slams into Your Comfortable Life (available on Amazon and B&N, plus some other places). It's a call to live the life we're afraid: one full of radical sacrifice and selfless giving. In my experience of working for a nonprofit mission organization, I've been confronted with an interesting paradox: those who are living the most abundant lives are paying the least amount of attention to themselves. This is a book about the process of what happens when you get "wrecked" with the realization that you are part of a larger story.
2.What role, if any, did books, writing, and reading play in your childhood?
As a child, I was often reading books. I didn't finish nearly as many as I should have though (little did I know that this is sometimes a great indicator of creativity… or ADHD). When I got a little older, I started exploring the arts: first drawing, then writing. After that, I started playing music (around the age of 16). Writing was always my refuge, though. At night, I'd write short stories and songs and poems that nobody ever read. It was a way to process the world around me and vent about my own insecurities. I carried this habit into college and then my adult life. It took me two decades to realize this was what a calling looks like.
3. What is your writing practice, your writing routine?
UGH. (That about sums it up, actually.) I try to write in the mornings, but sometimes that doesn't happen. So then I try to write in the evenings, but sometimes THAT doesn't happen. So THEN I try to work it in wherever I can — which is basically my routine. I'm in a season where I'm giving myself lots of grace, but also trying to adhere to a regular discipline the best I can. What that looks like is a few hundred words scribbled in a notebook when I get a few free minutes or about ten, disparate word documents saved to my desktop.
4.Who are you reading now?
Abraham Heschel, Ernest Hemingway, Charles Whiston, Suzanne Collins (still trying to finish up the last Hunger Games book), Ann Voskamp, and a few others.
5. What are three of your all-time favorite books? Why do you love those?
A Farewell to Arms: It's haunting in it simplicity and sadness. I love stories that hurt a little. Makes me feel alive. The Alchemist: If ever there was a clarion call to pursue your dream, this was it. Mere Christianity: I love most of what Lewis writes, but this book changed my life in its appreciation of beauty and thoughtful philosophy.
6. How do you balance "building a writing platform" and the actual writing to set on that platform?
Poorly. I actually treat them as two separate entities. Building a platform is about other people. Pursuing your craft is about you (or maybe the Muse inside of you). They are two very different activities, and when I try to mix them too much, my motivations get muddled. I try to write mostly offline and then do platform-building stuff online. In other words, if I'm on the web, I'm doing stuff to build my platform, even if it LOOKS like writing. I don't consider blogging my deep dive into the craft (although still important). The best way to balance them is to give each the respect they deserve.
7.What is a typical day like for you?
Wake up. Drink water. Take my baby boy downstairs for some early morning bonding time. Put him in the swing when he gets fussy. Make some coffee. Write a little bit. Read a little bit. Check email, Twitter, Facebook, blog, etc. Take the dog for a walk. Start work (from home). Work all day. Write a little bit on my lunch break, if I give myself one. Finish work. Make dinner (I'm the cook in our family). Go for another walk with dog and/or baby. Write a little bit more. Try to work in a run or some exercise (a few times per week). Watch a movie or an old episode of Mad Men. Drink some more water. Go to bed.
8. Describe your dream writing space? Kitchen table with bar stools. French press coffee. Ambient music. Something Spanish cooking in the background (with olive oil, of course). I'm simple, though. Just about any setting will do — other than being parked in front of a blaring television.
9. What is the hardest writing critique you ever received? How did you respond?
Something to the effect of: "I thought you were a real writer…" To which I responded, "Gosh, maybe you're right. I'll have to work on that." And I was being sincere. It's my greatest fear that one day all my readers will wake up and go, "Wait a second… he's a fake!" A nightmare, in fact.
10. What is the best wisdom you have to share with other writers?
Stop talking about writing. Stop reading about writing. Stop imagining yourself writing. And just write. Everything (including research and coffee dates and conferences) is easy compared to that one, hard act. But once you do it, you'll realize it's a lot easier than you thought.

The words "comedy gold" certainly don't spring to mind when you think of controversial TV show Game of Thrones or moody rockers Coldplay. But look at the top of this month's Global Ads Chart and you may have to think again.
The hit HBO show and the UK rock band teamed up in May for the US version of Red Nose Day to film 'Game of Thrones: The Musical'- and the results from the 12-minute skit have been something truly staggering.

Cowardice of Media Obvious
Who's afraid of the Bilderbergers? You decide.
By Lawrence Wilmot
New York City--Mainstream news organizations boastful about their no-holds barred investigative exploits, have been strangely reluctant to lift the blackout curtain hiding a major event: the Bilderberg group's secret annual meeting for the world's most powerful financiers, industrialists, and political figures.
At the United Nations where 50 or more journalists gather for even a routine conference, there was ironic laughter in the press room when this populist newspaper's diplomatic correspondent raised a question about the silence surrounding this conspiratorial conclave.
"The Bilderbergers have been removed from our assignment list years ago by executive order," said Anthony Holder, a former UN correspondent for the [London] Economist, the leading international business weekly.
"Our policy seems to be that if the Bilderbergers want to parley in private, leave them alone," added Holder, now a reporter for the 'European'.
The reason why this imperious assembly should be granted the sort of secrecy for its deliberations the mass media would never accord to any government--not even to Europe's reigning royalty--was, in the consensus of UN correspondents, simple: "The Bilderbergers are too powerful and omnipresent to be exposed," as French broadcaster Thierry de Segonzac put it.
On Wall Street, experienced American economic analysts voiced similar views.
Says Michael Thomas, the patrician Wall Street investment banker who has won wide acclaim as an author and as the Reagan-Bush era's most incisive commentator: "If the Bilderbergers seem more publicity shy than ever, that is, among other reasons, because their proposals, implemented by subservient agencies such as the IMF [International Monetary Fund], have caused more mass devastation in recent years than World War II ever did."
Commercial news organizations have become more interested in managing their own corporate debt and occasionally even sharing a financial coup with successful speculators than in exposing the seamy realty of manipulated markets, Thomas suggested.
There is, moreover, concern among the megabankers and corporate magnates that the worldwide tide of frenzied speculation "may end up eroding the power of even such established economic elites as the Bilderbergers themselves," Thomas, known among financial columnists as "the last truth teller," told a Sun Radio news correspondent.
For the present, however, the extraordinary influence wielded by the Bilderberg elite is apparent even in the reluctance of some leading journalists to discuss it.
"We are barely aware of the [Bilderbergers'] existence, and we don't report on their activities," asserted William Glasgow, the senior writer responsible for covering such international organizations at 'Business Week.'
Attempting to explain why his magazine, a leadng US business publication, would avert its eyes from such a strategic, trend-setting event as the Bilderberg conference, veteran newsman Glasgow sounded embarrassed: "Maybe it is a question of cost cutting," he told a SPOTLIGHT interviewer. "After all, we can't afford to cover everything, can we?"

Secret Bilderberg Meeting - Elite Cabal Decides Your Future
The secret meeting of the Bilderberg group, which took place this year in Greece, determined many of the headlines and news developments you will read about in the coming months. But the Establishment media completely blacked it out.
By James P. Tucker, Jr.
VOULIAGMENI, Greece--Behind the guarded walls of the elite Nafsika Astir Palace Hotel, situated high on a hill a few miles south of Athens, the secret Bilderberg group plotted to exploit the rich natural resources of the former Soviet Union and Indochina.
Also high on the Bilderberg agenda is establishment of a new, huge United Nations bureaucracy on the environment, so the industrialists can reap immense profits from new technology to clean the world's air and water.
They also celebrated the collaboration of one of their own, President Bill Clinton.
"It's really a direct message to us through the newspapers," said Dwayne Andreas, referring to reports that Clinton promised to sign the Rio Treaty, which calls for billions of American tax dollars to be circulated around the world in the name of 'clean environment'.
"Yes, and he's doing it early in his first term," said Andreas's companion. "George [Bush] wanted to wait until his second term, make a few changes to pacify the American right. Bill seems to understand that if certain things go undone in a first term, there may be no second term."
It was the first indication that there may have been a Bilderberg "tilt" toward Clinton to punish Bush for stalling on the Rio Treaty and resisting more new taxes after his broken pledge of 1990 turned into political suicide.
Bush is a longtime member of the Trilateral Commission, which also holds annual closed-door meetings and has interlockng leadership with the senior Bilderberg group. Clinton had been a Trilateralist for seven years and was promoted to the Bilderberg in 1991. Thus, the world shadow government owned both presidential candidates in a typical win-win race.
If George [had had] a second term, he [might] have moved on health care and new taxes, since he would not have worried about re-election. And he certainly would have signed the Rio Treaty, possibly with a little political posturing by insisting on nit-picking changes," Andreas said.
"But we would not have fast action, as with Clinton," said the other.
The Rio Treaty calls for establishing a UN commission on the environment. Americans will pay most of a multibillion-dollar program to clean the air and water, preserve topsoil and prevent erosion in undeloped countries. The rationale is that Americans consume and pollute more than the rest of the world.
Adding a new UN agency to police the environment among once-sovereign nations also advances the Bilderberg goal of turning the UN into a de jure-- rather than de facto--world government.
Thus, Bilderberg also celebrated public acceptance of a permanent UN army, in which Americans would fight under a foreign commander who would be accountable only to the Security Council, not the president or Congress.
They found it significant that Americans remaining in Somalia are serving under a Turkish general under UN command and, contrary to the Constitution, the president is not their commander in chief.
There will be "more and more Somalias to help the world become accustomed to UN supremacy," said one. "There must be at least five places on earth so full of misery that we can break American hearts whenever we choose."
There was much discussion of the fighting in Bosnia, but most Europeans urged Americans to shun air strikes and simply enforce the economic embargo.
"It would not be like Somalia, with few casualties and pictures of soldiers feeding starving children," one said. "Planes will be shot down, airmen will die. And if you get into ground action, there will be many casualties."
"You can't compare it to the Persian Gulf, either, where the terrain made it easy to deploy an overwhelming force, bomb Iraq into rubble, take few casualties and proclaim a great victory," said another. "Your people will not see this as some sort of sporting contest."
Nevertheless, Bilderberg sources said Americans from the State and Defense departments joined NATO Secretary-General Manfred Woerner in calling for the UN to authorize air strikes.
"There will be much for the UN forces to do in the years ahead, of the type that will gain public acceptance for its role anywhere in the world," said another. "UN troops could go into Sudan with food supplies if we made an issue of the people starving there and spread films of misery on the network news."
Bilderberg men expressed some nervousness about getting all West European states to surrender their national sovereignty to a European super state under the terms of the Maastricht Treaty but were confident the North American Free Trade Agreement would be ratified. This too is important to the Bilderberg goal of a world government.
A third "regional government" is to be formed in the Pacific Rim, and the UN is to be the seat of the world government.
To exploit the natural resources of the former Soviet Union and in Indochina, Bilderberg agreed to establish a "High Council" of 12 members. A committee was named to select the 12.
Members must be "of such status that they have instant access to heads of state and parliamentary leaders throughout the world," a Bilderberg speaker said.
The 12 will pressure Western nations to send more and more billions to the former Soviet Union. They will claim credit for this help in talking with the leaders of the former Soviet republics.
The 12 will demand of the republics the right, at an absurdly low price, to extract oil, gold and other precious metals. "The gold in the ground, the oil undrilled, do you no good," the 12 will argue. "Cooperating on this will mean that we continue to use our influence to get more financial assistance from the West."
It is a typical Bilderberg project: Use public funds--the lion's share coming from American taxpayers--to "pay" for the right to extract oil and precious metals from the former Soviet Union and reap immense profits.
The only barrier to exploiting the resources in Indochina is America's refusal to "normalize" relations with Vietnam until the POW-MIA issue is resolved.
The Bilderbergers are considering urging the Vietnamese government to take a dramatic step: Admit that some communist troops held some Americans after the war ended and shot them all a few months later. Hanoi is to say, under this scenario, that the officer who ordered the executions was shot as punishment, it was done against the orders from the communist regime, that Vietnam apologizes and wants normal relations.
"It may take something dramatic like this," one said. Otherwise, the issue may never go away."
The Bilderberg group's concern is oil, not American soldiers being held as slaves in filthy prison camps.
From THE SPOTLIGHT May 10, 1993
By James P. Tucker Jr.
"I tried to reason with Perot," George Ball told a group of Bilderberg colleagues sitting in a lush lobby a few steps down from the Nafsika Astir's main lobby in Greece.
"Of course, I was circumspect," said the under secretary of state for presidents John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson.
"I never used the word 'Bilderberg,' because I didn't want Ross to have license to run around the country helping about some 'secret society' trying to influence him.
"No, I told Ross that we had a small, informal group of men influential in government and business and that we met privately each year so we would freely exchange ideas without worrying about tomorrow's headlines," Ball said.
"How did he react, George?"
"Well, I told Ross that I hoped he could join us, because we would welcome his views. And do you know what the little bastard said to me?"
Imitating his high-pitched, Texas-twang, Ball quoted Perot: "'You boys don't want to hear my views; you want to impose your views on me. If any of 'em have anything to tell me, tell 'em to call or write.'
"Perot is a loose cannon, and we'd better leave him alone," Ball said.
From The SPOTLIGHT May 10, 1093
SPOTLIGHT reporter Jim Tucker describes the difficulties he faced in penetrating the heavily guarded Bilderberg meeting. The jobs of the hotel staffers mentioned in this story have been changed to protect their identity.
By James P. Tucker Jr.
VOULIAGMENI, Greece--Never has security been so extensive and yet had so many holes. As a result, I was able to penetrate Bilderberg every night. And I received oral reports from the "committee" daily. Sometimes they spoke from notes as I made notes, which is why I am able to use so many direct quotes.
It was about 7 pm on Monday April 19 by the time I had checked into the sister hotel, the Arion Astir Palace. But it was 2 am in Washington according to my body clock, so I took a loving look at my bed, then headed outside. There was still daylight, and there were no signs of security yet.
I knew that in two days--on Wednesday--armed guards would surround the Nafsika Astir Palace, barely 100 yards away. But tonight and tomorrow, I would have free run of the place. It was time to "case the joint."
About 30 yards to my right, as I faced the entrance to the Nafsika, I observed a playground for children. I judged this to be my most likely penetration point so I rehearsed. There was an entrance and I was able to walk among the trees until I reached the far side of the Nafsika. By emerging at that point, I was obviously a hotel guest enjoying a pleasant walk.
Inside the Nafsika lobby, the first signs of the approaching Bilderberg meeting greeted me: an L-shaped table holding computers manned by several young women. Noticing that there were no documents to acquire, I feigned indifference.
Down about eight steps was a second lobby, lushly furnished with chairs. There was not a soul in sight, so I took some photos. It was at this location where I was to hear George Ball tell colleagues about approaching Ross Perot.
Down a few more steps, which put me one full floor down, in a lounge, I found a solitary hotel employee. I observed an open door across the room where more Bilderberg staffers were bustling about.
The employee spoke fluent English, and we talked about the important "economic conference" that was to take place. I told him it was a group called Bilderberg and something of its history. He was fascinated to learn exactly who these people were. I gave him a copy of The SPOTLIGHT, which contained a detailed story on the meeting. He read it completely, commenting from time to time. I told him to keep the paper.
"I am an American journalist, and I wrote that story, and I'm here to find out what these characters are up to," I told him.
"Don't take any chances for me; you will be fired if we are caught collaborating," I continued. "Don't answer yet; you must think it over. But I hope you will be my eyes and ears and, if safe opportunity arises, grab any documents for me."
Heavy silence.
"Meet me for lunch or dinner tomorrow, at some safe place away from here, and we can talk more freely," I said. "You will be my guest, of course."
He remained silent, expressionless. Was I losing him? Would he be a good company man and report my presence?
He wrote something on a piece of paper and handed it to me. It was the name and address of a restaurant in downtown Athens. Would I meet him there at noon tomorrow? Of course I would.
"Sir, my name is..."
"Don't tell me; I don't want to know. That way, I couldn't give your name even if they catch me and put me on the rack. I will call you 'Charlie.' If you need to call me at the Arion, just identify yourself as 'Charlie from New York.'"
I took out a business card and wrote "Arion, room 410" on it and handed it to Charlie.
At noon the next day, we closed the deal. Charlie told me he would form a "committee" and report daily. Did I have more SPOTLIGHTs? I gave him all but two of the bundle in my briefcase. The other two would be left in the hotel lobby when I departed early Sunday, my traditional calling card.
"My boss is all for the staff helping you as long as we are discreet and the Bilderberg people never know," Charlie said. "He was glad to get the [Bilderberg] contract because it is a lot of money, but he was suspicious of their demands for clearing any other guests out of the hotel and sealing it off with police. He said he thought it may be the Mafia.
"I told him that you said they never meet at the same place twice, so future business is not at risk."
"I'm very glad and grateful to hear that," I said, "But we must be careful anyway."
It was agreed to hold daylight meetings at one of three quaint restaurants about a mile down the hill from the Arion-Nafsika complex.
To my surprise, he suggested that nighttime meetings be held at a bar in the Arion, less than 100 yards from the scene of the crime.
"Isn't that terribly risky?" I asked.
"No, there is no commingling of the two staffs. When I walk into the Arion in my business suit, I am another customer. As you know there are two other groups meeting at the Arion now, and in the evening we will be just two of many sitting around a table talking and taking notes."
Of course, this arrangement was convenient, and the idea of talking to sources right under Bilderberg noses amused me.
The nightly penetrations were uneventful. I would stroll the beach behind the Arion, in shirtsleeves, to a point where I could observe the children's playground without being seen by police.
Greek police heavily manned the main entrance to the Nafsika, of course, and posted one officer at the outside footpath entrance to the playground. But, utterly bored by so many uneventful hours, the cop would stroll over to the main gate to chat a bit. As he headed that way, I would slip in and begin my circuitous route to the opposite end of the Nafsika.
Of these balmy evenings, even some Billderberg people were in shirtsleeves, which nicely accounted for my lack of a name tag.
With external security so heavy, Bilderberg people inside the Nafsika relaxed. I deliberately kept at long range from Bilderberg staffers and others, such as Henry Kissinger, who might recognize me. (I once went eyeball to eyeball with Kissinger about Bilderberg and have confronted him and David Rockefeller a number of times.)
Still, as has been their rule in recent years, Bilderberg men would never let their documents leave their hands, never carelessly leave a paper on a table.
At Thursday's penetration, I nursed a beer at the downstairs bar across from the Bilderberg office. The room was empty, except for the bartender and one Bilderberg staffer at a deesk just outside their office.
I had earlier noted through the open door that there were no people inside the office, and no one had entered in the hour I had been sitting there.
I kept the Bilderberg staffer in my peripheral vision so she would not feel that she was being observed. She seemed somewhat agitated and made two phone calls. Moments later she darted into the ladies' room. Once the door was closed behind her, I grabbed the only two papers on her desk, slipped them into my briefcase and began my journey to the Arion.
It turned out to be the first page of an alphabetical listing of Bilderberg participants and a separate page listing Bilderberg staff.
The participants listing began with Giovanni Agnelli, Fiat's mogul, and ended with Kenneth Dam. Such regulars as George Ball, Dwayne Andreas and Lord Carrington were listed.
The only name on the "personal staff" listing that meant anything to me was "W. Muller." Charles Muller has been Bilderberg's North American functionary, operating out of his "Murden Co." office in New York, for at least a decade. But "W." Muller?
Nor did I see my friend, "Rog," who made me feel so unwelcome so many times at the Harrison Conference Center on Long Island in 1990.
Don't Bilderberg people live forever?

The Bilderberg group made a direct plea to our correspondent to cease and desist.
By James P. Tucker Jr.
VOULIAGMENI, Greece--"Good evening, Mr. Tucker," said the dark-haired, medium-built man of about 40, as he settled himself onto the next stool at a bar in the Arion Astir Palace.
"Good evening," I replied. "You apparently know me. May I have the privilege of knowing who you are?"
"I'm sorry, I am under instructions to be discreet, but may we talk off the record for a few moments?"
"I don't usually talk to people who have no name, and I never talk off the record," I responded. "We can talk, but nothing is off the record. Every word I say you can tell Henry, David or any of your Bilderberg cronies."
He sat in stony silence on this Friday night, April 23, Day Five of my penetrations of the Bilderberg group, which was meeting behind the guarded walls of the Nafsika Astir Palace, the brother hotel barely 100 yards away from where we were staring each other down.
"I wish we could reach an understanding, some kind of accommodation," the Bilderberg staff man finally said. "Every year, wherever in the world we meet, you are there. Why do you press so hard? Why do you write such angry stuff? It causes us a great deal of embarrassment, especially those in government who hear from your readers."
"First, you tell me," I said. "In the 18 years we at the SPOTLIGHT have been covering the Bilderberg group, has there been any time--even once--when there were any factual errors? Has the publisher, Liberty Lobby, ever said anything about Bilderberg that was in any way untrue?"
"No, I am not saying that at all," the Bilderbergers' envoy said. "But you report in an angry way that inflames your readers, and that causes problems for our members. And, as you know, it is a private meeting, and they very much prefer it to stay that way. Privacy is a right you take away."
The entire dialog was being conducted in a quiet, low-key way, neither of us exhibiting anger or hostility.
"There are many answers to your claim of the privilege of privacy," I said. "I will give them to you, one at a time, and invite your response.
"First, American taxpayers finance, to a significant extent, these Bilderberg meetings."
"No, you are wrong," he said. "Members pay their own costs for travel."
"No, you are wrong," I insisted. "The American taxpayers pay the cost of congressmen, and the high officials of the White House, State, Defense, and Treasury departments gathered here."
"Now, how could you know that?"
"I have held in my hand a copy of a memo signed 'DDE'--as in 'President Dwight David Eisenhower'--ordering his administrative assistant, Gabriel Hauge, to attend the Bilderberg meeting in 1955. On the margin of the typed memo, the president had written 'at gov't expense.' When Henry Kissinger was secretary of state, I examined a copy of his travel voucher--at government expense. I could go on, but you get the idea."
"How could you possibly have come into possession of such papers?" the Bilderberg man asked.
"I didn't, personally," I explained. "I am backed in these ventures by, of course, The SPOTLIGHT and Liberty Lobby, its publisher. This is no one-man crusade; the whole institution is committed to exposing the Bilderbergers."
A momentary silence followed.
"So, if everybody in government paid their own costs, would you be satisfied?"
"Of course not--I told you there are many reasons, and I have only give you one," I said.
"Please continue," he said.
"Bilderberg and the Trilateral Commission--and you need no lessons from me on the interlocking leadership involved--conduct public business behind closed doors. They make decisions that affect the lives of every American and have the power and influence, in most cases, to impose their policies on the United States and other nations."
"For example?"
This came with the slightest hint of a challenge in his voice.
"Here's a few examples for you:
"In 1983, The SPOTLIGHT reported the secret pledge the Bilderbergers extracted from President Reagan, to provide $50 billion to Third World and communist countries. That pledge was more than kept and became known as the Brady plan.
"We've reported the Bilderberg decision to throw Margaret Thatcher out as prime minister of Britain because she opposed surrendering British sovereignty to the European super state, which the Bilderberg group crafted. And we watched as her own party dumped Mrs. Thatcher in favor of one of your parrots, John Major.
"We reported your secret dealings with [Mikhail] Gorbachev when he was head of what was then the Soviet Union, and foretold the weighty political shifts that transpired. We reported your order to President [George] Bush to increase taxes in 1990 and watched him sign off on the tax-hiking 'budget agreement' that lost him the election. There's more, but I think you can understand why we insist that Bilderberg business is our business too."
"Tell me, Mr. Tucker. If Bilderberg should agree to meet only in a way that satisfies you, what would that be?
"First, you would announce your meetings, the time and location, and provide the press with a copy of the agenda and a complete list of participants.
"Then you would set up a press table where reporters could observe your meetings and listen to the proceedings, taking notes and using recorders if they desired.
"Finally, instead of sealing off an entire hotel, there would be no guards at all. Reporters would interview participants between sessions and during the evenings."
The Bilderberg man shook his head, a resigned look on his face. "You know we can't do that," he said.
"Then you may as well become accustomed to my annual visits," I replied.
"Good night," he said.
"Good night."

Welcome to Life Begins in the Middle! I'm migrating my other blog, Finding My Inner Athlete, over here, so all posts prior to today are from that and previous blogs. Never fear! I'm still looking for that inner athlete, but I'm expanding my areas of improvement to include lots of other things.
Why Life Begins in the Middle? Several years ago, my Dad made an off-handed comment about my being "middle-aged." I was incensed! I was outraged! How could he possibly think I was "middle-aged?" So I asked him, "Why on earth would you call me middle-aged?" His reply was dry and very matter-of-fact, "Well, honey, how long do you think you will live?"
While he was probably right, I left the conversation still in denial. I'm not middle-aged. I'm barely aged at all. However, time has moved along and lots of things have happened. I now realize that he is right—or rather he was right and I'm much further advanced in my middle-agedness than I want to admit.
So, what does one do when they finally kick denial out and accept the fact that they are middle-aged? I don't know about them, but I did an inventory of my life and I have to say, I'm not particularly happy with the outcome:
How I thought it would be:
How it is:
|Married, Mother of at least three, Grandmother amazing
|Single, never married, no kids, no grandparent opportunities, haven't even had a date in a bazillion years (ok, that's an exaggeration, but decades would be pretty close to on-point)
|Debt free, kickin' retirement account and the ability to retire when I hit my 30-year anniversary at work
|Up to my eyeballs in debt, not quite where I need to be on the retirement savings scale, looking at another 15-years of working
|Fit, athletic, healthy—running marathons, doing triathlons, hiking like a mountain goat—you get the picture
|Fat, sick, and so tired I could just cry 24/7.
|Totally skilled in some awesome hobbies, like photography, cooking, wood working, etc.
|Half-assed skilled in all of these, but master of none
Now that the inventory is done, I have a couple of choices: stick my head back in the sand, or turn things around. I'm choosing to turn things around. It's never too late to be who you want to be. I believe that!

Herbal Pre-Cleanse Formula Review
Herbal Pre-Cleanse Formula has recently been sold in a well priced bundle with the detox drink QCarbo32 for a very reasonable $50.
Which is why people have been asking me questions about whether it's a good deal. They are interested to know if it's any good. Does it detox you to help you get through a drug test?
So let's take a look at both components of that deal in this Herbal Pre-Cleanse Formula review.
What Is Herbal Pre-Cleanse Formula
Herbal Pre-Cleanse Formula is sold by the very reputable drug testing avoidance company Clear Choice. They are very reputable because they also sell Sub Solution, the number one quality brand of synthetic urine.
So they are not going to sell you a load of crap. But it's what Herbal Pre-Cleanse Formula actually is, and what you can expect from using it that's important.
What's important is to understand that it's not a detox pill. It's a "soft" pill that contains just enough to help speed up the elimination of toxins from the body. It doesn't flush them out powerfully, but it aids your natural processes over time.
That's why is not marketed as a toxin removing pill, it's marketed as a supplement to take continuously to help you always be ready for a drug test by having a lower level of toxins in the body.
Herbal Pre-Cleanse + Qcarbo32
Using Herbal Pre-Cleanse plus a detox drink like QCarbo32 will definitely give you a great chance of passing a drug test.
The pills will help to speed up the body's natural processes sure, but only if you have got a couple of weeks without taking toxins in can you truly detox.
On the day of the test, the lower toxin levels in combination with QCarbo32 masking what's left of the toxins for a few hours will give you a great chance. But that combination won't give you the best chance of passing a drug test.
Better Cleansing Tablet Choices
Toxin Rid is a better brand of toxin removing pills to consider. It's far more powerful and can flush toxins out of your body more rapidly, seven days or less in a lot of circumstances.
So sure, if you have plenty of time and don't expect miracles then Herbal Pre-Cleanse Formula can certainly lower the levels of drug toxins in your body, but it won't flush them out in the same way as Toxin Rid will at short notice.
It's all about the time you have and the severity of the test you could be facing. If you think you could be up for a drug test at some stage, then Herbal Pre-Cleanse Formula will certainly help to ensure the toxin levels are lower the day of the test, giving a detox drink a better chance.
Better Detox Drinks Choices
QCarbo32 is also not the best choice of detox drink to take if you are going for a drug test. Yes the combination of Qcarbo and Herbal Pre-Cleanse is probably going to be enough, which is why it's a great deal $50, but neither of these products are going to give you a cast-iron guarantee if you are a heavy smoker for example.
Better detox drinks that are simply better at masking the toxins are Ultra Eliminex, Rescue Cleanse and Mega Clean. Any one of those three is a better choice.
If you really want to make sure, then money shouldn't be an object. $50 just buys you a bottle of Mega Clean for example. On top of that, a five day course of Toxin Rid will cost you $110.
So the combo deal is great, but the conclusion of my Herbal Pre-Cleanse Formula review has to be that the combo is not as powerful as some people will need, and a bit more money will get you the cast-iron guarantee Toxin Rid and a far more powerful detox drink.

Complete New Age & Wellness Store. Offering Psychic
by Lawren Leo
This is an excerpt from my upcoming book Dragonflame: Finding the Philosopher's Stone. © Lawren Leo. June 7, 2012.
The Magic Circle
Within the magic circle lies the entirety of your inner universe. You will find therein all that you know and do not know, all that you have explored and have yet to explore, all that you can dream of or conceive. Stars are born within your circle, supernovas occur within it. It is the sum total of your personal galaxy and all its parts. YOU define its perimeter. The magic circle serves many purposes. These include protection, providing a sacred space for magical workings, and introspection. It is here that you will make magical progress. But by far, however, the most important purpose of the magical circle is separation.
When you put up a magical circle you define a separated space. This action detaches you from:
Everyday consciousness
Negative energies
Mundane perspective
Rather than being in the physical realm, you realize you are in a microcosmic realm where you are the center of your own universe.
As you begin to understand that the entire universe exists within the magic circle, you must next ask, "What lies beyond its borders?" The answers are many - that which we cannot envision; that which has no name; that which has created us, the magic circle, and everything it contains; that which links us to our Higher Self. This way of thinking triggers a desire to transcend the universe. As your desire to know Creator increases, you will realize that you have taken the first step in coming to know yourself. This, in essence, is magical progress.
Creating the Magic Circle: Invoking the Goddess Urania
Your new knowledge simplifies creating a magic circle. It is an act of putting up and taking down, of separating and reassembling. This process manifests three crucial thoughts:
I am lost no more.
I have a goal and purpose.
Here is my first point of focus.
I call creating the magic circle 'Invoking Urania,' because in Ancient Greece she was the goddess of the universe.
To start, make sure you are in a safe and secure area where you will not be disturbed. Lock your door, shut the windows and do not answer the phone until you have finished. If someone breaks your circle, a bad luck, physical harm or even temporary insanity may occur.
Standing with your altar in front of you and facing east, point your right forefinger at the center of the wall in front of you. Imagine a white flame or stream of light coming down through your head, neck, arm and out your forefinger. Slowly, pivot 360 degrees clockwise while drawing the circumference of your magic circle with the white flame. Mentally, extend the circle to the outermost points of the room while you are turning. Be sure to end at your starting point and connect the circle completely. Relax your hand.
Now, turn your magic circle into a sphere. Visualize it as a hologram of the universe with you at its center. This is true reality. The reality of the external world we live in is its reflection.
Do your magical work, prayers, chants or visualizations.
When you have finished, re-absorb your magic circle. This time you will use your left forefinger. Point it at the wall in front of you where your circle began. Slowly, pivot 360 degrees counter clockwise while imagining the white flame being absorbed back into your being via the left forefinger. When you have completed, bring your hands together in what is called prayer position in front of your heart chakra located between your breasts. This is done by placing your palms together with your fingers pointed upwards.
Always be sure to take down every circle you create. For anyone working with high magick, this may mean putting up two circles and taking down two circles every time you perform the Lesser Banishing Ritual of The Pentagram (LBRP) and the Banishing Ritual of The Hexagram (BRH).

Photograph by Emma Tempest, Hair by Dennis Gots
Britney did it. So did Jennifer Love Hewitt. Even Tyra Banks gave it a shot.
Yes, we're talking about crimped hair, which, to either your dismay or delight, seems to be making a major comeback from its '80s and '90s heyday.
For those who somehow missed out on the decade of excess, crimping is styling straight hair so it gets a zigzag-wavy look to it using a crimping iron. Think the opposite of flowing, natural beach waves or loose curls. If you're crimping, you're making a statement. Variations of the trend were all over the Fall 2016 runways, at Gucci, Veronique Branquinho, and, most notably, Vanessa Seward, where the rippled texture added height at the crown and gave a spirited wave to the ponytails. More recently, Gabrielle Union rocked crimped hair at the God's Love We Deliver Golden Heart Awards in New York on October 16, and Girls star Zosia Mamet did the same at the Marc Jacobs fashion show last September.
Oh, and did we mention Beyoncé? Yes, Queen Bey gave the style major play on Instagram in November.
And she didn't stop there. On December 5, she presented Colin Kapernick with the Muhammad Ali Legacy Award at the Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year Awards.
For the occasion, she wore her blonde hair in a half-up, half-down style, full of textured, crimped goodness with a silver and black striped LaQuan Smith dress.
Araxi Lindsay, Tracee Ellis Ross' hairstylist on Black-ish, says the crimp is back but with "a twist." "In the '80s and early '90s the crimps were shaped with sharp indentations at every turn and it was held together with a heavy aerosol or spritz," she continues. "It allowed hair to have a bit more character. Fashion repeats itself over and over again simply because it works."
Today, says Lindsay, "bouncy waves are the new crimps. The indentations aren't as sharp and heavy aerosols aren't needed. Classic crimps have made a comeback to finish off today's retro looks. Crimps work best on layered cuts. I personally love the look of a high crimped ponytail, side or center."
As a child of the '80s, the crimp craze brings back all sorts of feels. Most of them cringe-worthy, to be honest. I had a very ill-advised perm, coupled with fried hair that was also crimped for added pizzazz because let's remember: too much was never enough. Today, the results seem to be much more understated, with perhaps a few crimped strands pulled back into a sleek ponytail.
Today, however, you can achieve a much more subtle look, with more body and less harsh frizz. To get the look, try the Gold N' Hot Ceramic Crimping Iron{: rel=nofollow} or the GHD Contour Professional Performance Crimper{: rel=nofollow}.
