The Other Mozart by Sylvia Milo at Fermilab
Little Matchstick Factory's The Other Mozart is the true and untold story of Nannerl Mozart, the sister of Amadeus - a prodigy, keyboard virtuoso and composer, who performed throughout Europe with her brother, to equal acclaim, but her work and her story faded away, lost to history.

With the opulent beauty of the dress and hair design, the sweet smell of perfume, and the clouds of dusting powder rising from the stage, the performance creates a multi-sensual experience and transports the audience into a world of outsized beauty and delight -- but also of overwhelming restrictions and prejudice. There, in communion with the audience, this other Mozart at last tells her story.

Agoraphobia (ag-uh-ruh-FOE-be-uh) is a type of anxiety disorder in which you fear and often avoid places or situations that might cause you to panic and make you feel trapped, helpless or embarrassed.
With agoraphobia, you fear an actual or anticipated situation, such as using public transportation, being in open or enclosed spaces, standing in line or being in a crowd. The anxiety is caused by fear that there's no easy way to escape or seek help if intense anxiety develops. Most people who have agoraphobia develop it after having one or more panic attacks, causing them to fear another attack and avoid the place where it occurred.
People with agoraphobia often have a hard time feeling safe in any public place, especially where crowds gather. You may feel that you need a companion, such as a relative or friend, to go with you to public places. The fears can be so overwhelming that you may feel unable to leave your home.
Agoraphobia treatment can be challenging because it usually means confronting your fears. But with talk therapy (psychotherapy) and medications, you can escape the trap of agoraphobia and live a more enjoyable life.

bad quality but easily fixable
"So these shoes are aesthetically perfect and very comfortable. The only itch is that the quality of the gluing between the the fabrics of the sole is poor. After two wears, the glue had teared and my shoe was falling apart. But nothing a little hot glue can't fix. I broke the shoe off and hot glued it back and have worn them multiple times with no problem. But if you do not feel like going through that hassle, don't get the shoe."

Congrats! You've signed the paperwork, dotted the i's, crossed the t's, and purchased a home. You're also now the proud owner of a 30-year mortgage that's burning a big hole in your pocketbook. Better start throwing money at the mortgage to pay it off as quickly as possible, right?
Maybe not, says Paula Pant, founder of money management website AffordAnything.com.
In fact, "putting your money to its highest and best use might involve making only your minimum mortgage payment so you can invest the rest in higher-yielding opportunities," she says.
Read on to learn more about this, and other reasons why you might want to put the brakes on paying off that mortgage too fast.
You could see a better ROI by investing your money elsewhere
Before you decide to put all of your cash flow towards your mortgage, you should first see if you can get a higher return on investment, or ROI, elsewhere.
Pant gives one good example: Let's assume stocks will return about 7 percent in the next few decades. If you can borrow to buy a home at an interest rate of 4 percent, and put any extra money you were thinking of using to pay off your mortgage into the stock market instead, it would be a wise investment.
[Click to shop around and compare rates from multiple lenders now.]
"Over the long haul, you'll end up pocketing the spread of 3 percent," she says.
But although this might sound great, you also need to consider the risk, says Mitchell D. Weiss, a member of the board of the University of Hartford's Barney School of Business.
He urges you to take a hard look at if you can invest reliably and safely before you take the jump - since the stock market could be risky. This is so you can help guarantee your ROI, and not plunge yourself further into unnecessary debt instead.
To pay off higher-interest loans that will cost you more money
If you have a higher-interest loan or a maxed-out credit card that's eating into your wallet, it may make more sense to focus on paying that down versus putting all of your resources into your lower-interest mortgage payment.
"If you have two or more loans, you'll save the most money by paying down the highest-interest debt first. Credit card debt will always have a higher APR than a home loan, plus the interest isn't tax-deductible. Always pay that off first," advises Pant.
For example, say you have $10,000 in credit card debt and your APR is 15 percent. You'll be paying $1,500 per year in just interest - assuming that you're not paying down the balance at all. So if your mortgage interest rate is lower (which it likely is), it's best to pay down any higher-interest debt first.

To put extra cash in your 401K and gain additional benefits
Many employers match 401K contributions up to a certain percentage. If you're lucky enough to have this benefit, Pant recommends investing any extra cash you may have into your 401K - instead of investing it into your mortgage.
"If your employer matches your 401K contribution, you're getting a guaranteed return on every dollar you invest," she says. "It's the only guaranteed return in the world of investing. You'd be crazy to pass that up."
To give an example, let's say you earn $50,000 per year and your employer offers a 2 percent match. When you put $1,000 - or 2 percent of your salary - into your 401K each year, your employer will also deposit $1,000 during the same period.
"Plus, 401K payroll deductions aren't taxed and neither is the income you earn in your 401K plan until you begin to withdraw it after you turn 59 and half years old," says Weiss.

Live Wire Professional 17 offers "Gut-like performance in a multifilament string." Includes 50% more Live Wire Iso-Elastic Fibers, which increases resiliency and elasticity, and 20% more High Impact Urethane Resin for improved vibration dampening.PEEK Abrasion Resistant Fibers help increase string life and contribute to a crisp, solid feel. More spin friendly but slightly less durable than its 16 gauge counterpart.
- Gauge: 17 (1.25mm)
- Length: 40 feet (12.2 meters)
- Available colors: Natural
- NOTE: Gamma's performance guarantee only applies if racquet is strung by Tennis Warehouse.
Comments: I love this string! I have been playing with this for about 3 years. I wanted to try natural gut but it was
too expensive. I switched from Prince synthetic gut to this string -- it's softer, gives you more "pop" and you do not lose spin. Be
patient, it may take about 3-4 times to get use to controling the ball and you may have to alter your string tension. I increased
my string tension by 2 lbs. The extra pop is amazing.
From: Sullivan, 7/14
Comments: I really liked this string and the most noticeable feature was its relatively soft structure. It elimated an
annoying pain in my elbow, so Im really happy about that. Its spin potential was good at first, but it dropped tension quite fast
and the spin seemed to have lessen over time. I strung it at 62 lbs and in about 6 weeks the strung popped in my bag. It definitely
is one of the fastest string breakers string I have played with.
From: GJD, 10/13
Comments: My daughter just turned 8. Elite U12 tournament player. She has been using this string for about 3
months. Very soft and responsive. She plays 6 times a week. I change her strings every 3 weeks. Worth the money for both
performance and to protect her elbow. I am a 5.0 and have hit with these strings as well. Better than other player strings
such as sensation, X-one, etc.
From: John, 4/13
Comments: I am a 3.0 Player and have played tennis for 15 years. As multifilaments go, gamma professional live
wire 17g is the best on the market bar none ! It has the most power and control you get in any string besides Babolat vs 16.G
natural gut. Gamma Professional 17g generates a lot of power just like Babolat natural gut, so if you hit the ball huge then I would
not recommend it, but if you hit with medium power then Gamma Professional 17g would be fine for you.The texture of this string
makes great topspin, backspin and slice. I hit amazing drop shots with this string and amazing big serves that go in. The strings
tension maintenance is good,. All in all a great string for the price.
From: Clifton. 7/11
Comments: Not Impressed! For $20; there are strings cheaper that have better play, feel, power, control, etc...
During stringing the strings behaved like a rubber band (stretching and wanting to stretch more). Strung at 59# but did not feel
like 59#. Strings moved around a lot during the first 1 to 2 hours of play. If you want soft & cushiony strings - try Wilson NXT
Tour. If you want slightly firmer/crisper feel try Tecnifibre X-One.
From: Anon, LA, CA, 10/10
Comments: Strung on a Head LM Radical MP @ 57#. Only played for a couple hours now, but very soft, feels like
butter. Decent pop, but I wouldn't say powerful. The great feel and control allow you to really extend your swing and hit out if you
have that kind of swing in your repertoire. Might be my new favorite...
From: Dave, Jersey Shore, NJ, 4.0. 8/10
Comments: These strings are very comfortable and plush, but lack a crispness compared to Tecnifibre X-one
Biphase. The strings also do not move compare to Biphase, but at $20 per set, Tecnifibre Biphase is a much better value.
From: Prostaff, SF, CA, USA. 03/10
Comments: I've tried many strings and am very picky about how they play. I was using Tecnifibre NRG 17, but
moved around to much and decent ball bite. I then switched to Wilson NXT 17 and they move around less, but did not have very
good ball bite. I then tried these and have to say wow, what a really nice feel, very good ball bite and they don't move around all
that much. I use to use Gamma live wire XP many years ago, but switched to several strings over the years. I believe these are
better than XP Live Wire 17's and only wish I would have found these sometime ago.
From: Neal, Thousand Oaks, CA, US, 4.0 12/09
Comments: A great string that provides excellent feel on the ball, but I only got 15 hours of play out of them. This
would be my favorite string were it not for the complete lack of durability.
From: Dave, Los Angeles, CA, USA. 9/09
Comments: I haven't been a big fan of multi-filament strings in the past, but after my arm started to hurt from
over-playing in May and June with nothing but full poly, I gave Gamma Professional 17 a try, and have been very impressed.
Control, comfort, and feel are all very good. I'm not having much of a problem with string movement or wear so far, either --
certainly no more than would be expected of a multi.
From: Rich, Massapequa, NY, USA, 09/09
Comments:The best string on the market. I have tried tons of strings, this is the very best. Not for string breakers,
if cost is an issue. If you can find a better string please let me know what it is because I sure can't fine one.
From: Michael, Rochester Hills, MI USA 06/09
Comments: Love it! Just over 20 hours of hitting and is only now showing signs of wear...BUT!... that's only because
for the last hour I was playing with very damp balls (playing in very light rain). Superb feel and accuracy. My (previously) half-
hearted drop-shots became unreachable, and I was doing lots of line-dusting down the sidelines. Definitely worth the price.
From: Andrew, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. 4/09
Comments: This string is the worst string ever! It moves like crazy, way too much power
and breaks every 6 hours. Prince Premier with softflex is way better in every aspect and it's basically half the price.
From: anon. 3/09
Comments: My stringer suggested this string, as I had been using Wilson NXT 17, and I
can say that I am very impressed. It holds its tension much longer and I play in temperatures ranging from 18 degrees F up to
triple digit heat. I don't usually string my racquets during a couple of winter months as we play outside in sub freezing weather
and I was amazing that the string didn't lose much tension, certainly better than the NXT I played with last winter. I string my
Prince racquets at the max (62 lbs) mains are still what they were strung at couple of months ago. The cross strings have dropped
to about 50 - 55, but in the very cold outdoor weather that is fine for now til it gets warmer. I found that the "pop" I got off of the
volleys was much better. I got more spin and pace without sacrificing control on volleys. The groundstrokes felt pretty much the
same. I am a retired figure skating coach and know the equipment is so very important and have experimented a bit. Being I play
in all sorts of weather driving between Flagstaff, Sedona, and Phoenix at all times of the year, I found this string to really stand up
to various climates playing 5 days a week. I can say it exceeded my expectations I have not had string that will hold its tension
very long. Certainly a good jump from Wilson NXT.
From: Fay, Flagstaff, AZ, USA. 2/09
Comments: I had Gamma (ATS Sports) string my new racket with these strings. They hit great for about a dozen
sets and then they lost tension. I'm going to try Revelation, but if that doesn't work I'll probably go back to my go to strings,
Gamma Gut II mains and Gamma More Power crosses.
From: Roddy, 3.5 Player, Wildomar, CA, USA. 8/08
Comments: I keep coming back to this string. I can't quit it. Played with everything else, x-1, nrg2, x-cel, nxt tour,
alu rough, klip's excellerator, heads' c3 rocket, gosen's og sheep micro. If I could keep a decent set of gut on my frame longer
than a week without breakage, I would. This string has the balance between everything you could want. Worth the $.
From: A.L., Germantown, MD, USA, 04/08
Comments: Finally tried this string yesterday. Wow! Amazing feel and softness. I have never played with such a
"player's" string before. It's time to dump my terrible Gamma TNT strings in the garbage and start buying this high quality string.
String is amazing, combines great feel, touch, control and precision.
From: David, Portland, Oregon. 4/08
4.5- Grinder
Comments: If you like the playability but want more durability out of this string, get it strung in the crosses of a
hybrid. It goes extremely well with Luxilon Big Banger Original 16. This combination is actually cheaper per stringing when
compared to playing with full Gamma Professional 17.
From: Andrew, Ringgold, GA, USA. 11/07
Comments: Last year I went through a ton of different strings in search of a perfect product. Some strings gave me
power and some gave me touch but none really satisfied. Sometime around the indoor season, I tried this string. Man, what a
difference. When I want power, they deliver. When I want touch ... well, my opponents can't stand my drop shot. I don't think about
strings any more. And that's the point really. You want to focus on your game, not on your equipment. I play 4-5 times a week
and they last 4-6 weeks. I broke one string in six months.
From: Jeff, Lancaster, PA, USA, 06/07
Comments: I have been playing for 35 yrs. (4.5) I've been using Gamma Professional 17 G. for 6 mos. I string at the
top of the recommended racket tension and it still plays great, not boardy. I love this string, sweet feel, good pop, I play 5 days a
week all year round. String lasts about 6 wks.
From: Dan, Los Angeles, CA, USA. 12/06
Comments: This is a terrific string. I've only had it on for a week or so but so far, so good. I have a HEAD FXP Team
Instinct and I had used the FXP strings that the manufacturer recommends but I found they lost their zing after just a few weeks
and my arm started to hurt. This is my 4th string on this racquet since I bought it last year (I've experimented with the FXP 16 and
17 and Gamma 16 Live Wire.) This string is perfect for volleys and different types of spin. I haven't had a problem with spraying
balls long, either. I would buy this again. I'm a 3.0 player who plays at least 4x a week throughout the year.
From: Tara, Ellicott City, MD, USA. 11/06
Comments:I have been playing tennis for many years, and I just recently tried
these strings. They gave me the power and feel that I wanted. Topspin with ease and
enlarged sweet spot. Excellent value.
From: Alireza
Newport Beach, CA, USA. 10/05
Comments: I don't think it's more powerful than natural gut but it definitely is
powerful. Natural gut holds tension
better than any other string, which may be related to the illusion of less power, when in
reality other strings just lose tension. I
don't think it's that spin friendly.
From: John, Los Altos, CA, USA. 9/05
Comments: Used Gamma Professional for the past year. Enlarges the sweet
spot. Improved serve consistency and pace. Most importantly, eliminated history of fatigue
and soreness of elbow and shoulder. I had good durability with it, restringing every 3
months. Worth the price.
From: Jim, 3.5,Tampa, Florida
Comments: More power than natural gut, same sweet feel, lasts 3 or 4 times
longer, GREAT VALUE for the $20.
From: Phil, Corona, CA, USA. 04/05
Comments: I am a varsity high school freshman (3.5-4.0) and I used this string
for a while. It was a very, very good string and it was easy to get a lot of topspin. However, it
broke after less than a month, and I was very upset. Good for upper level players that
restring often.
From: David, Rice Lake, WI, USA. 5/03

Lucie Pump Keychain 5 5
Pump It Up! This stylish pump heel key chain is a must to have. You can add it to any purse and it really enhances the bag. I couldn't choose between the gunmetal or the gold, so I purchased both! You will not be disappointed with either one. They are very versatile and I use the gold pump heel with my purses that have gold hardware. I use the gunmetal for darker purses, black etc. For the true diva!! February 24, 2013
I love this heel!! I bought the closed toe pump in 2011, and got this one in 2012!! I love the little keychains. I got this one in gold. My only gripe is that some of the pink sole came off...other than that I haven't lost any gemstones, like the pump from 2011. Super cute, get it, they sell out fast in stores!! When I give them as gifts people love them. February 21, 2013
It's a cute little accessory I have 3 pairs of the Lucie pumps so I thought why not have the keychain. I love this shoe and want it in all colors. Don't stop making this pump BeBe. It's the best. January 2, 2013
As always Amazing as BEBE I ordered the gold and pink crystal key chain and I am in Love with it. It is perfect size ....not too big or not too small. It can be added as a accessory to a hand bag or sturdy and beautiful enough to add keys to it. Either way i love it and the material ,colors, quality and glitter is elegant and very classy .I am very happy with the purchase . Thank you BEBE for amazing products . December 5, 2012
So cute. Saw it and had to get for my best friend for Christmas. She will love it. December 4, 2012

Lowest Price Guarantee
The Green Biscuit Snipe Training Hockey Puck is an off-ice training hockey puck that helps develop exceptional shooting skills. The Green Biscuit Snipe Puck weighs 5.2 oz in comparison to the original green biscuit weighing in at 4.6 oz. Therefore, the added weight provides a more realistic shot feel.
The Green Biscuit Snipe Puck is able to endure high amounts of impact compared to the original plastic material, which means less chipping against posts and sides boards. The material is comprised of a rubber component making it more reliable when performing an array of shot types.
The Green Biscuit Snipe Training Hockey Puck is primarily a shooting puck and not meant for passing and stick handling. Due to the rubber component of the puck the puck doesn't slide as effortlessly as the original Green Biscuit Training puck on the super rough surfaces like asphalt streets. The Snipe performs just fine on the smoother concrete surfaces like driveways, tennis courts, basements, etc.
- Model Number: SNIPE BISCUIT
- 2-piece design helps absorb vibrations to keep the puck flat and gliding on rough surfaces
- Applicable on any hard surface
- Increased weight makes it feel and act like a real ice puck
- Allows for convenient and fun off ice training
- Designed for shooting
- (Passing or stick handling may be difficult on rough asphalt surfaces)
Comments: Well, it is definitely for shooting from stationary position only. If you want to do some puck handling while skating before you shoot, it is no good as it doesn't slide as well as the original GB and keeps turning over. The other thing, being dark green it is easy to loose in grass if you play outside. I prefer the original GB - it slides almost like on ice and in fact is holding well if you shoot it against e.g. chainlink fence, not the concrete wall.
From: Vlad, Australia
Comments: I'm a real believer in the original green biscuit -- but not in the snipe. The beauty of the orig green b is it's fantastic slide and the way it resists rolling on rough surfaces -- a street hockey puck you can make reliable saucer passes with! But the snipes slide isn't merely worse than the Green B's slide, it's unacceptable. I can't comment on whether the snipe rolls or not because stick handling with it was so unpleasant I didn't use it long enough to judge the roll. I was working with it on a medium warm (70s) day on coated asphalt. Maybe it performs better in colder weather or other surfaces. But for me at the moment it's a paperweight. A disappointment.
From: Doug, Brooklyn, NY
Comments: I have this Sniper Biscuit for few months and used it several times. I like it durability, and the weight which enhance my wrist power when training.
However, this one is NOT UNBEATABLE. I know overly abuse can still damage this Sniper Biscuit, so I never shoot it against any hard material other than the boards in the hockey rink and the metal frame of the goal.
Yesterday, 11/9/2013, I was practicing passing and some shooting with a friend in the roller hockey rink. Again, we did not shoot this puck to any very hard surfaces, but both of his Sniper Biscuits were completely broken. And this morning, 11/10/2013, one of my Sniper Biscuits got a long crack from the edge toward the center.
Overall, other than the decreased gliding ability, I like this puck; however, I will rather spend money on other cheaper roller hockey pucks which can actually hold up even longer than the Sniper Biscuit.
From: Everest, Ashburn, VA
Comments: This thing is awesome! The slide with the Snipe is a little more rough compared to the first Green Biscuit puck, but the durability is awesome with this thing and definitely makes up for the added friction. The weight is more accurate than the first one as well and I think that is huge when you are doing off ice training. My 3 year old son, who is a big boy, whacks the heck out this puck trying to learn how to shoot and pass and the snipe GB has managed to survive his abuse and stay in great shape.
I am constantly shooting with it as well (6'2"/225) and it has not cracked or fractured in the 3 months that I have used it.
If you are like me and love to try and hone your stick handling skills or just mess around on the back patio from time to time but can't get over that urge to shoot, this puck is a must. Shoot away and feel confident that you have a quality durable off ice training aide to help you build your skills.
From: Paul, CA
Comments: Expensive disappointment. When I found out Green Biscuit made a puck for shooting, I was excited because the original GB I had moved so well on the smooth concrete outdoor rink where I play. So I bought four of the Snipe, expecting the same great performance. I was bummed from first use. While the weight and feel of the Snipe are good, the thing just doesn't slide very well; it doesn't come close to moving like an ice hockey puck, an IDS or even the original GB. In fact, I get better glide from an ice hockey puck into which I screwed round-headed sheet metal screws. To make things worse, I shot one over the fence and lost it in the bushes, which are the same color as the snipe, making them really hard to find. I can't recommend the Snipe. Instead, I'd stick with the original Green Biscuit. If the Snipe is intended just for shooting, you're better off with a regular ice hockey puck costing just a tenth of the Snipe.
From: Mike, CA
Comments: If you are a fan of the Original Green Biscuit this is the last puck you will ever need. Same smooth gliding with minimal amount of pucks ending up on their side, plus the added bonus of being able to shoot this puck. Great for use in games!
From: Eric, LA

Shaking the notebook: New Spencerport wrestling coach says he knows exactly what he is walking into
Dan Glover has his first job as a varsity wrestling coach, and it is at a place that is a bit further along than a start-up program.
It is Spencerport, the team that just about every team in Section V - certainly the ones in and around Monroe County – would like to match when it comes to success on the mat.
And it's been that way for decades.
"Of course it is tough," Glover, 30, said. "The expectations of the community is to produce high-quality teams."
Glover was approved as the new Spencerport coach by the school district's board of education and superintendent on June 12. They were not the only ones with input, according to Spencerport athletic director John Pelin.
Representatives from a youth wrestling program, a group of parents connected to the team and former Rangers wrestlers had something to say about who should be Tony D'Ambra's replacement. Other Spencerport varsity coaches were a part of that process, too.
D'Ambra's third and final season as Spencerport's coach ended up with the Rangers at No. 4 in the final New York State Sportswriters Association large schools dual meet rankings.
And still a change was made.
"We demand exellence on the mat," Pelin said. "We demand excellence off the mat."
That seems like a tough entry point for a first-year varsity coach.
"Dan felt that he has put in time and that he's ready for the challenge," Pelin said. "Dan kind of took over during the interim, he's kind of stepped to the forefront."
Glover, a social studies teacher at Spencerport's Cosgrove Middle School and at the high school, was an assistant for three years each with successful coach Bill Jacoutot and D'Ambra.
The 2001 Gates Chili graduate, who has begun his eighth year in high school coaching, must have got across to a few people that he could read the pulse of the program.
"It seems like …. how can you give it up?" Glover said about coaching wrestling and the sport. "It's been a passion of mine, I felt like that's what I want to do.
"I've come to the point I have enough experience and I've learned a tremendous amount from coaching with Bill. My six years at Spencerport prepared me to take over the program."
When Glover was asked about thoughts on how the scrutiny of him is just beginning, he said:
"Pressure motivates. It motivates you to work hard."
Syracuse must have seeds here: Syracuse University's football program has found another local player to its liking, Brighton senior Devan Carter.
Listed at 6-feet-2, 220 pounds, Carter makes it four players with Section V ties connected to the Orange after he gave a verbal commitment to play linebacker at Syracuse on Sunday, June 10.
Syracuse has Rush-Henrietta graduate Ashton Broyld and Oakfield-Alabama's Jonathan Fisher on its current roster.
Carter, who will also play running back at Brighton this fall, also was recruited at various degrees by State University of New York at Buffalo, Rutgers, Massachusetts, Old Dominion, Connecticut and SUNY at Albany.
East High senior Poncho Barnwell also gave a verbal commitment to Syracuse, but must improve his grades to make himself a more viable student at the college.
Barnwell's original plan was to attend and play Milford Academy, the prep school where Broyld and dozens of other players have stopped before going on to Bowl Championship Series schools.
A 6-foot-4 inch and 220-pound defensive end who the Orange see as a linebacker, Barnwell will now attend and play on Long Island at Nassau Community College, which has recruiting connections to Syracuse football.

Perfect neutral shoe!
"I have been wearing Adidas Supernovas on and off for 6 years as a runner. I have tried other brands, stiffer shoes, more flexible & lighter shoes, but nothing comes close to the comfort and balance of the Supernova. The cushion-y heel provides that support for your knees and the the arch area is perfect for people who do not have super high arches or flat feet. Also, there is not much breaking in time. Absolutely wonderful!!"

The Mayan Date of Destiny
Free Activities at Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. and
Live-Stream Video Event
December 21, 2012 marks the end of Mayan calendar and many individuals around the globe are expecting something to happen. The news is filled with anticipation of cataclysm and prophecies of doomsday. In response to many inquiries we have about the end of the 5,125 year cycle, Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. is hosting a free global event celebrating the dawning of a new age.
In addition to a day full of activities at our Virginia Beach headquarters honoring December 21, 2012, A.R.E. will be offering a free live video presentation featuring internationally renowned speaker and bestselling author John Van Auken available to participants around the globe with internet access. The live-streamed lecture "The Prophecies of 2012" is available from 3:30 p.m. (eastern time) until 5 p.m. at EdgarCayce.org/2012. Other presentations available only in Virginia Beach include Understanding the Mayan Calendar with Murray Summers; a Drum Circle with JP Amonte; Earth Changes by Laura Jackson; and Beyond 2012 with Peter Woodbury. Download the full Schedule of Events (pdf). For a list of all daily activities at A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, visit EdgarCayce.org/ScheduleHQ.
The Mayan Date of Destiny began with a discovery about the culture that invented what is known as the Long Count Calendar. On the Pacific coastal plain of Chiapas, Mexico, a few miles from the Guatemala border, the astrological observatory of the Izapa civilization was used for a thousand years to record the Long Count Calendar on monuments and ceramic vessels. While most of the dates refer to local events, like the crowning of a specific king, some of the monuments refer events that occurred at the beginning of the current "World Age" a date which has been correlated by scholars to August 11, 3114 BC.
Using a complex system of measurements of time, we can calculate when their calendar reaches a new zero point – at the end of 13 Baktuns, their measure of time which equals 5,125 years. At this point, a new cycle of time commences. For the Maya, the rising, passing, and descending of the Milky Way in the sky marked major points in the cycle of time and on August 11, 3114 BC, a new Solar Age began and the Sun Lord was reborn.
While there are no specific markings or statements about the year 2012 on the archaeological artifacts at Izapa, there are numerous images that portray a rare celestial alignment that appears in the skies in the years around 2012. This galactic alignment marks the December solstice and the rebirth of the Sun Lord. Read the full story of The Mayan Date of Destiny in the Ancient Mysteries section of our website.
John Van Auken, is an internationally renowned speaker, long-time staff member, current director at A.R.E., and the popular leader of A.R.E.'s tours to Egypt and other sacred sites. He is a regular contributor to Venture Inward magazine and is the author of several bestselling books including From Karma to Grace, Edgar Cayce and the Kabbalah, and his newest, 2038: The Great Pyramid Timeline Prophecy. His extensive knowledge of the Cayce readings, the Bible, world religions, and ancient Egypt mysticism is combined with years of experience as a teacher and meditation retreat leader to bring you a deep understanding and practical insight.
A.R.E. Members will be able to download the full presentation in the online member section in January.

A Witness to History, One Day Shy
At the end of each day (or often during), my spouse Shelley and I often talk about articles, blogs, and photographs we've read and viewed during work. Her reading anchors me to the world outside of the news and journalism business. In my circles so many times, the news is cited at you — 'Did you read the article about the Ugandan man in the Times?' 'Wasn't that report on breast cancer on CNN…' and so on — serving as fodder for a potential story we might cover.
This is as it should be, in some respects, but sometimes I feel like the larger point is lost — relating to others, to people and their joys and their sorrows. On Friday, while we were driving, Shelley told me this story about Eugene Allen and his wife:
They talked about praying to help Barack Obama get to the White House. They'd go vote together. She'd lean on her cane with one hand, and on him with the other, while walking down to the precinct. And she'd get supper going afterward. They'd gone over their Election Day plans more than once.
"Imagine," she said.
"That's right," he said.
On Monday Helene had a doctor's appointment. Gene woke and nudged her once, then again. He shuffled around to her side of the bed. He nudged Helene again. He was all alone.
"I woke up and my wife didn't," he said later.
Some friends and family members rushed over. He wanted to make coffee. They had to shoo the butler out of the kitchen.
The lady whom he married 65 years ago will be buried today.
The butler cast his vote for Obama on Tuesday. He so missed telling his Helene about the black man bound for the Oval Office.
Well, we looked at each other, found ourselves choked up, eyes welling and reaching for each other's hand, and our two boys in the back seat wondering why their mommy and daddy were sad. Through this story, we truly understood the power of this election and its impact on our sons' generation. But, as importantly, they'll know how their parents understood each other more deeply and more personally — all through several paragraphs of a single news story.

Ready or not, here I come
I ran a whooping 9 miles last week and same for this week. This is what I call taper! Although it wasn't intended as such, just life, and I feel like I am not only well rested but actually forgot how to run:) Must re-learn on the course! Shuffle-shuffle, left foot, right foot, forward motion...how difficult it can be? Ha, we shall see.
Woke up this morning to have my left big toe blow up with nail bed infection from the Cool 12 hr run kick. Hopefully it'll subside, for now I am wearing flip-flops (nothing else fits). And my medication (Paxil) gets me nauseous, so keep the camera around, it could be quite a show:) I tend not to worry about these things before the race, so it's OK. The temps are promised to be on a cool side - 70's and 50's at night, good thing. In general we had a very cold summer, not that I am complaining, I am not a fan of 90-100F weather (how in the world will I tackle Badwater??). Just need layers for the night.
I will spare you with my teenage years stories unlike Eric, so this will be it for the week. Have a great time all around!
p.s. oh, and you know that you're doing ok at your "work" when the RD asks you to come next year to the race not to run it but to do finish line again:) Thanks!!!

We can learn how to run again together. I have run very little this week as well being busy with school and life. The taper has begun for me. One more long run this weekend should do me good. See you Saturday morning.ReplyDelete
I wish I was a calm as you before a race. I get nervous even before a half-marathon, I really don't know how I would react in your situation.ReplyDelete
Woohoo! Off and running. It will be interesting to see how that taper works for you. Good and rested, you are ready to rock and roll. Have fun, Olga. I'll be thinking of you!ReplyDelete
