In special reports, this week's files cover: New Angels,Ancient Ireland's Civilization at Tara, Cracks in Earth's Magnetic Shield, Two U.S. Black Air Force Programs, and David Twitchell's book "The UFO-Jesus Connection"
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Washington D.C., and West Virginia.
Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Dubai, India, Philippines, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and England in the United Kingdom.
The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the almost two thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.
Filer's Files are now being emailed to 13,000 addresses each week plus 500 copies are forwarded to more thousands. Consider forwarding them to your friends and neighbors.Dedicated to 5 year old Georgie Filer V whose motto was "Be Happy" and Eddie Pedrick my grandsons who drowned.
Special Reports
New Angels
This was a very good year for UFO sightings with about 2000 per month reported. As I predicted the world did not end on December 21, even though the Mayan Calendar ended. It was a bad year unfortunately for 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the affluent Newton, Connecticut on Dec 14, 2012.
Adam Lanza, the gunman in the shooting rampage killed his mother and was carrying an arsenal of hundreds of rounds of deadly ammunition -- enough to kill just every student in the school if given enough time. He had more ammunition at the ready in the form of multiple, high-capacity clips each capable of holding 30 bullets. I see no practical reason for people to have large clips of bullets to fire 30 shots and be able to reload in a couple seconds. Although, people should have the right to bear arms as guaranteed in the Constitution, they do not need 30 bullet clips. Blessings to those who died and may the Angels be your guide and take you to paradise.
Ancient Ireland's Civilization at Tara
Surprisingly Ireland is believed to have one of the oldest civilizations on Earth that started when, the Tuatha Dé Danaan according to Lebor Gabála Érenn, came to Ireland "in dark clouds" and "landed on the mountains and they brought a darkness over the sun for three days and three nights some 6000 years ago." They are described as a race of majestic appearance and marvelous beauty, in human form, yet in nature divine.
Ireland is considered the Great Motherland of the Aryan race. Tara (shown here) is the prehistoric home of the magical Tuatha Dé Danaan who are described as tall, blond and fair-skinned and are considered to be direct descendents or reincarnations of the biblical Shining Ones (Elohim), the creator gods. Irish mythology of the Anunnaki predates Sumerian civilization by a thousand years or more.
Enki had been the first of the Anunnaki to hazard a trip to Earth to begin a mining operation for gold. First Enki apparently settled Ireland and later founded a civilization in ancient Sumeria (modern Iraq). Ireland and Sumeria come into history as a full-fledged kingdoms, and their sudden origin has perplexed many an historian. Sumerian culture coincides with, the early Irish culture and it's as if one culture is the continuation of the other. Enki was considered the master shaper of the world, and god of wisdom and agriculture.
The Great Banqueting Hall on Tara Hill shown at the right reminds me of a cylinder UFO landing marker megalith. I chased a similar UFO over England. Similar cylinder ancient markings in England are known as Cursus.
Both Irish and Sumerian mythology revolves around the secret teachings of the blue stones of the Enki. In ancient Irish religion Tara was the sacred home for the Ari (later the Ari-ish or Irish) above the people. Ireland (Ari-Land) takes its name from the Arians. Aryan or Ari-an is a Sanskrit word meaning 'noble'. The concept of the Aryan race has been wildly misinterpreted. The root of the misunderstanding is in the Sumerian claim that Enki cloned the first model of humans as a slave race. Into the blood of a second 'advanced' human, the Ari or Illi, they put sacred knowledge. Tara was conceivably one of Enki's laboratories of enlightenment and Irish mythology insists the secrets of Enki and his lost tribe remain. Both Irish and Samarian mythology revolves around the secret teachings of the blue stones of Enki. In ancient Irish religion and mythology Tara was the sacred home for the Ari (later the Ari-ish or Irish). Ireland (Ari-Land) takes its name from the Aris or Arians. Ireland is considered the Great Motherland of the Aryan race. They later settled Sumaria and France and also operated a blue stone-based "stargate mystery school" at the Hill of Tara in Ireland.
Conor Newman, an archaeology lecturer claims this was once the ancient seat of power in Ireland – 142 kings are said to have reigned there in prehistoric and historic times.
The Great Mound (above) was built over 5000 years ago, and is ideal for landing a disc shaped UFO on its top. Located around the construction is a series of carved kerbstones with drawings of possible cylinder and disc shaped craft.
In ancient Irish religion and mythology Tara was the sacred place of dwelling for the gods, and was the entrance to the otherworld. They are divided into two classes: those which are shining, those which are opalescent and seem lit up by a light within themselves. The Sumerians called them Anunnaki, while the Irish called them the 'Lords of Light,' or Illi. The real treasure exists underneath the sacred hill and may soon be revived.
A massive subterranean temple as been located at Tara that dates from around 4000 BC.
Nearby is the ancient New Grange site, (shown above) that is believed to be the world's oldest structure and is shaped as a disc. It is similar in appearance to the Great Mound of Knowth and both have the disc shape with a rim and representations of windows that faithfully imitate the real object. If the ancients intended to imitate either the moon or the sun their structures would look very different. Almost everywhere in the world myths, customs, and religion claim their individual ancestors came from space. I suggest the history or the world is very different if we recognize the importance of UFOs.
The Newgrange mound required a committed workforce of 300 for at least 20 years, and is referred to as a Megalithic Passage Tomb as six bodies were found inside. The mound covers an area of over one acre and is surrounded by 97 kerbstones, some of which are richly decorated with megalithic art mostly with spiral discs. The 19 meter long inner passage leads to a cruciform chamber with a corbelled roof.
Winter Solstice
The passage and chamber of Newgrange are illuminated by the winter solstice sunrise on December 21st, 2012. A shaft of sunlight shines through the roof box over the entrance and penetrates the passage to light up the chamber. The dramatic event lasts for 17 minutes at dawn on the Winter Solstice and for a few mornings either side of the Winter Solstice.
The Tuatha Dé Danann, who ruled Ireland in ancient mythology, were said to have erected Newgrange as a burial place for their chief, Dagda Mór, and his three sons. All of the Newgrange people were of one mind and one goal, they were dedicated to the task and were committed one and all because there was something in it for all – new life and new blessings. Little doubt about knowledge of astronomy and astrology, which would have accumulated through their 'wise men' over millennia.
In 1993, Newgrange and its sister sites Knowth, Dowth and Tara were designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO because of their outstanding cultural legacy.Newgrange is arguably one of the finest monuments of European pre-history. Dating to circa 3200 B.C., a thousand years before Stonehenge. It was built during the Neolithic or New Stone Age by a wealthy farming community that prospered on the rich lands of the Boyne Valley.
Archaeologists classify New Grange as a passage tomb, but for its builders, New Grange was much more than simply a place of burial. It housed the spirits of their ancestors, providing a link for the living community to the world of their deities and serving as a focal point for ritual and celebration.
Passage tombs, as the name implies, consist of a passage leading to a chamber where the remains of the dead (usually cremated) were placed. The passage and chamber are covered by a large mound of stones and earth, retained at the base by large kerbstones. The amount of time and labor invested in their construction tells us much about the well-organized societies and specialized groups responsible for different aspects of their construction.
Newgrange is part of a large complex of Tara and Knowth monuments built along a bend of the River Boyne that may hold secrets of the visitors from space. www.Knowth.com
Cracks in Earth's Magnetic Shield
NASA reports that immense cracks in our planet's magnetic field can remain open for hours, allowing the solar wind to gush through and power stormy space weather. Our Earth is surrounded by a magnetic force field -- a bubble in space called "the magnetosphere" that is tens of thousands of miles wide. The magnetosphere is part of the same planetary magnetic field that deflects compass needles.
The magnetosphere acts as a shield that protects us from solar storms. According to new observations, from NASA's image spacecraft and the joint NASA/European Space Agency Cluster satellites, immense cracks sometimes develop in Earth's magnetosphere and remain open for hours. This allows the solar wind to gush through and power stormy space weather. We've discovered that our magnetic shield is drafty, like a house with a window stuck open during a storm," says Herald Frey of the University of California, Berkeley, lead author of a paper on this research published in December in 'Nature'. "The house deflects most of the storm, but the couch is ruined. Similarly, our magnetic shield takes the brunt of space storms, but some energy slips through its cracks, sometimes enough to cause problems with satellites, radio communication, and power systems." Editors Note: These cracks in the magnetic shield seem to affect not only space weather but weather systems on the Earth
Two U.S. Black Air Force Programs
Discussed inAviation Week & Space Technology
Indications of Two Black USAF Aircraft ProgramsNORTHROP GRUMMAN'S CLASSIFIED UAV.
Bill Sweetman writes, "Signs of secret USAF aircraft programs; the U.S. Air Force's classified research and development budget is supporting two major programs, according to industry and government sources: an unmanned intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft developed by Northrop Grumman and a bomber demonstrator from Lockheed Martin.
In the last few weeks, an industry executive has told Aviation Week that Lockheed Martin is building a "Next Generation Bomber"—the name NGB was used, although the Air Force's requirement is now known as the Long-Range Strike Bomber—at Palmdale, California.
Sources continue to suggest that the large, secret contract awarded to Northrop Grumman in early 2008, which seemed at the time to cover an NGB demonstrator, was the start of a full-scale development program for an ISR UAV. This aircraft is believed to be in flight-testing.Both programs appear to have some roots in the early-2000s Joint Unmanned Combat Air System (J-UCAS) project. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency launched J-UCAS as a large-scale effort in 2002, but it was terminated in the 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) because requirements of the U.S. Navy and Air Force were diverging sharply.
It was reported at the time that Air Force J-UCAS money was going to a classified program. The QDR also accelerated the Air Force's next bomber to a 2018 initial operational capability (IOC) date from far-beyond-the-horizon 2037—but the NGB never acquired any non-classified detail or funding.
Air Force briefings during the J-UCAS era, overlooked until recently, may indicate the genesis of the service's requirement for the new ISR UAV. By 2003, the Air Force was defining its J-UCAS version as a "Global Strike Enabler." It built the UCAV's role around its ability to "go deep and persist," flying into heavily defended airspace and remaining there long enough for manned strike aircraft to complete their missions and leave. This would be made possible by the UCAV's stealth, range and endurance—the service was looking for two-hour endurance combined with a 1,000-nm unrefueled radius.
Because it was difficult to carry enough kinetic weapons for two hours of defense suppression, the Air Force was particularly interested in airborne electronic attack and information warfare systems. The highly stealthy UCAV would be able to approach closer to an emitter than a manned aircraft and jam it effectively with less power.
The mission required a combination of aerodynamic efficiency and broadband, all-aspect stealth. This was a goal of the Air Force Research Laboratory's Sensor Craft program, started in the late 1990s. At Northrop Grumman , Sensor Craft work blended with its in-house studies of "cranked kite" configurations that were stealthy and offered "sailplane-like" efficiency, in one engineer's words. Lockheed Martin unveiled its Polecat demonstrator in the summer of 2006, aimed at similar goals.
Northrop Grumman's design is believed to be a single-engine cranked-kite aircraft with a wingspan similar to a Global Hawk. It has radar, electronic surveillance systems and active electronic warfare equipment, and, quite possibly, a weapon bay for Small-Diameter Bombs and Miniature Air-Launched Decoy-Jammer expendable jamming vehicles. It may also be equipped to act as a communications gateway for other aircraft, using either satcoms or high-frequency radio.
The initial NGB effort was halted by then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates in early 2009, citing technology risks with the 2018 IOC date and the economic crash, but it was reenergized in 2010 in support of the Pentagon's "Pacific pivot" and the Air-Sea Battle concept.The newly reported Lockheed Martin bomber project may represent a restart of a demonstrator program originally launched in 2008—a theory supported by the use of the old NGB nomenclature and the fact that it is said to use some "repackaging of equipment from earlier programs."
The Air Force's Rapid Capabilities Office (RCO) may be associated with one or both programs.
Its only acknowledged effort is the Boeing X-37B space plane, but the RCO's focus can be gauged by the fact that a recruitment notice for its deputy director identifies only three mandatory areas of "significant experience, . . . low-observables, counter-low-observables and electronic warfare." The RCO is believed to lead Air Force involvement in the Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinel program.
The RCO's patch logo carries a Latin motto, translated as "doing God's work with other people's money," which points to a funding model that involves connecting the end user—the combat command or intelligence agency that can direct the budget—with the technology. Of the $11.2 billion Air Force classified R&D funding for fiscal 2013, about $8 billion is transferred in kind or as cash to the intelligence community. Those funds could involve Air Force personnel or air vehicles. December Aviation Week & Space Technology
David Twitchell's book "The UFO-Jesus Connection"
"The UFO-Jesus Connection" is convincing and thought provoking. He states, "The ancient astronaut and Biblical UFO hypotheses are not new. However, no one seems to want to take the matter to the next logical step. If Ezekiel's "wheel within a wheel" and Moses' "pillar of fire and cloud" were forerunners of today's UFOs, then the Star of Bethlehem and the brilliant cloud to which Jesus ascended must be treated in the same vein. When Biblical descriptions of anomalous aerial phenomena are overlaid on that of modern-day UFO reports, the picture seems to meld as one." Remember, "For we are fighting with people not made of flesh and blood, but against persons without bodies—evil rulers of the unseen world, those mighty satanic beings and great evil princes of darkness who rule this world, and against huge numbers of wicked sprits in high places. Put on all God's armor so that you will be able to stand safe." Ephesians 6.http://www.amazon.com/The-UFO-Jesus-Connection-David-Twichell/dp/0741405997 One of the key parts of the Bible explains the transfiguration of Jesus that illustrates one of the reasons we celebrate Christmas. "And after six days Jesus took his disciples Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain. And Jesus was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as light. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah.
Peter is speaking, when a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased: listen to him." When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces, and were filled with awe. (Matthew 17).
To analyze the scripture from an Ufologist standpoint, we learn that Jesus takes three witnesses up a mountain where they meet two of the patriarchs of the Bible. Moses and Elijah who had been dead for hundreds of years met with Jesus. They are able to talk, are wearing clothes and are seen in a glorified state representative of those who have come into the kingdom of God. Their souls or spirits are able to return to Earth alive. Of interest to us is that they are passengers aboard a bright cloud similar to ones often reported in these files. The story implies time travel or life after death as promised in the Bible.
Sighting of UFOs in the United States
Arizona Light
PHOENIX -- --I was in the backyard at my house looking up at the stars when I noticed something moving around that wasn't normal. It was a strange looking light darting back and forth across the sky, not making any noise. It was close enough to hear any noise the craft was making. Then all of a sudden the shape changed to a central yellowish light with multiple rays coming out of it on all sides. At this moment I began to see strange glowing lights coming from my neighbor's backyard
I couldn't get a direct line of sight, but this green glowing light came and went a few times and only lasted a few seconds each time. After this the object/light changed back to the original shape and slowly started moving across the sky, heading south and out of eyesight. During the times it was moving across the sky it would disappear one second and show up in a different area of the sky. I did try to take pictures and video with my tablet I had with me, but they didn't seem to capture exactly what my naked eye was seeing. It also scared both my dogs half to death! Thanks to MUFON CMS
PHOENIX -- I have recently been given a new camera: A Canon Cybershot 16.2 mega-pixel digital camera. I thought since the planets have been visible, but look like regular stars from the ground with the naked eye, that I would use the zoom on my camera, and it is unbelievable what I have taken. All of the objects appear to be "floating in space." All were taken from my backyard in Phoenix.
Note: The above photo is of low resolution and was not taken with a Canon Cybershot camera. The file information said that the photo was taken with a Sony DSC-WX50 digital camera. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
California Disc
MORENO VALLEY -- I have noticed an abundance of UFOs at night and mostly large orbs during the day for the last five years. This photo was taken during the day and was spotted hovering over the mountains near Lake Perris. It was metallic in color and a smaller orb can be seen coming out and circling it as it for two minutes before it started moving south and picked up speed and disappeared. The image was caught on a cell phone by one of six witnesses. Almost 99% of all cell phones files became corrupted and one cell phone had to be replaced.
I have witnessed this orb twice over the same area, and I have also witnessed bright orange orbs at night over March Air Reserve Base, they fly at a decent altitude and follow a path at first then suddenly they take off into the night sky at a 70 degree angle going at unremarkable speeds and disappear. Orange orbs usually appear in twos or threes around the base and Moreno Valley and climb faster than any aircraft. We are experiencing a great UFO boom that needs to be looked into. Thanks to MUFON CMS
RANCHO CUCAMONGA – I saw a falling object at 2:50 PM, on December 9, 2012. This object was falling at a very fast rate of speed. It was not tumbling or rolling and it had a 45 degree angle. It was probably around 8 feet long. Here are two photos that I took off of my laptop. Note: the photos do not contain any "metadata" which means that they could have been altered. This does not mean that they were altered. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
Colorado Disc
GREEN MOUNTAIN -- On Saturday, December 22, 2012, about 4:30 PM, I took two photos of the sunset, with my IPhone, facing south from my deck. While reviewing photos on Sunday, I noticed an unusual object in the upper portion of one of the photos. The object is disc shaped and appears to have a circular lit area in the center of the bottom and what appear windows on the upper portion of the disc. The object was not visible at the time the photo was taken and is not visible in the second photo taken 15 seconds after the first. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Light and Disk
KEY WEST -- We were driving on December 1, 2012; I was taking pictures with my cell phone of the islands at 1 PM, as we were driving. it was overcast and had sprinkled a half hour before the picture was taken. When I took picture we noticed nothing at thetime the picture was taken through driver's window wind did have water spots on it but none of other pictures had this in it. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com
On December 17, 2012, I took went out to take my dogs to the yard, when suddenly my eyes went up to heaven and saw the light, as bright and flickering circle. I had never seen anything like that. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Idaho Sphere
JEROME -- I saw a glowing sphere above County Road N. 700 East, about 4 miles north of, town. It was hovering some distance from the road. I also saw lights in the sky, like an aurora or big searchlights. The lights were pale green. The sphere was icy blue. I lost sight of it as it headed toward town on North Road. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
Michigan Cigar
PORT HURON – I was on my way to class at Baker College when I saw a grey/silver cigar shaped object hovering 1000 about yards above the ground west of Port Huron around 4 PM on November 26, 2012. It was a cloudy day; however, the "UFO" was easy to see, because of its proximity to the ground and only about a mile away. I was watching it out of the driver's side window looking north as I drove east bound down I-94 east towards Port Huron. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com
New Jersey Orbs
SOMERS POINT -- Coming home from my brother's house my brother pointed out a couple of UFO's. His friend and I looked up and saw a clearly visible flaming red, orange, and yellow pulsating spheres that were about the size of golf balls. We pulled over and objects made no sound and flew straight at a steady speed moving faster than jets. My brother took out his IPhone to record the event as the objects were shrinking and then vanished. A man came out of his house to ask us what we were up to. We told him that a couple of UFOs had just passed. He kind of laughed us off until another UFO followed.
While my brother was recording the object but it did not appear visible on the screen. As we were getting back into the car, two more objects flew over in the same manner. We continued down the road and another set flew over lower to the ground, about the size of a baseball now. Another ship then appeared directly over our vehicle and I could almost make out that there was a larger vessel or field surrounding the orbs. Being slightly spooked, we drove away pretty fast.
One basketball sized sphere seemed to follow us at telephone pole height and backed off in the distance a bit. It had a membranous layer or field over it as faded out of sight. Another ship came straight up over the treeline and followed suit. These objects were very strange and most certainly unidentifiable. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Light
FARMDALE -- I was driving around outside of my job and I noticed the object on December 18, 2012. I have worked overnights for five+ years so I have seen every star, hundreds of times as well as objects that turned out to be planes or helicopters. This one was very different and its brightness, color and distance caught my eye. It was very bright and pulsed a yellowish orange color, different from any star in the sky. It was about 2,500 feet away. I'm an overnight security guard and actually felt fear while observing it. This object was different and I felt almost frozen but I was able to turn the car around and drive the other way, as if 500 feet of retreat would have mattered anyway.
After retreating, I observed it move southwest, across the sky simply faded away make it appear as though it simply faded away. The object is only a couple of hundred feet above fifty foot mounds of sand at my job site. Thanks to MUFON CMS
North Carolina Lights and Triangle
NEW BERN -- On December 18, 2012, my girlfriend as she left my apartment witnessed a UFO. I went onto my balcony and found two extremely bright twinkling lights in the lower southeastern sky. I lights were parallel to each other moving slowly. I had difficulty tracking the object because it was behind trees but I was able to clearly see it at times. About 5 minutes into the initial spotting, it seemed to fade away. After about five minutes it reappeared over the tree-line. Then it flew closer to me and descended behind the trees again. My girlfriend five miles south reported she could see it so I grabbed my camera and slapped on telephoto lens and began to snap photo's of the lights. I got a few that were decent. The lights were intensely bright like sodium street lamps in the air moving very smoothly and slowly.
I am a skeptic and a former member of the armed forces but have never witnessed this phenomenon on any known man-made aircraft. I have Goosebumps. I spent two tours in Iraq and I'm more fearful than I ever have been. Thanks to MUFON CMS
KILL DEVIL HILLS – On November 30, 2012, at 6 PM, two adult males, and my 9-year old son, observed a very strange looking wedge-shaped object in the nighttime sky. It had multiple lights along its edges and remained in sight for five minutes. I am a 43 year old Professional Land Surveyor, and with me was a 45 year old male friend who is a construction worker. We live next to where the Wright Brothers first flew. We all basically agree with the following account.
All three of us were getting on our bicycles to ride when we saw red lights through the oak trees. Seconds later, a black triangle craft emerged from behind the tree line. It was 200 feet long and 100 feet wide at its base and 15 feet tall. It was flying in a straight line about 20 mph, silently and 300 feet above the ground. It flew very slow and quiet for a craft of this size. It was at least as big as the bomber, probably bigger, but quiet.
There were rows of red lights lining the bottom of the craft on either side from the tip to the base. No lights went on and off like FAA planes. All lights were red, and some pulsated randomly but stayed relatively dim compared to the lights on the points of the triangle and never went out or "blinked." The lights at the points of the triangle seemed to be the brightest lights. The craft flew almost directly over our heads. We watched it "slide" slowly past us making a low humming rumble noise flying north until we lost sight of its light. It was not a blimp but it may be a semi-secret military craft from Oceana Naval Air Station near us to the north. It flew over the fairly densely populated area and whatever it was is a reality. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com
Ohio Lights
WESTERVILLE -- On the evening of December 12, 12-2012, beginning about 7:25 PM, I witnessed what appeared to be an aircraft with its landing lights on, approaching from the east. The orangish lights were very bright, which made me notice it. I stopped my car to watch the craft which I could see very clearly. I have 20/15 vision and as the craft approached, I could see a group of tightly arranged orange and yellow lights that appeared pyramidal in shape. I immediately reached for my Motorola Droid Razor HD and began filming in "HD" mode, under normal magnification. The craft cane to a "complete stop" and was oscillating in red, blue, green, orange and yellow. I zoomed in at 75% magnification at about 1/2 mile. At 20 seconds into the video taping of the craft blinked a couple of times and vanished. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington D.C. Orb
DISTRICT OF COLUMBUS – The witness saw a UFO on a live broadcast of a news show on TV. This was on MSNBC live from Washington DC according to the witness. He will be known as SM from here on. The witness said that the object seemed like a meteorite, but was not glowing and had no tail of sparkles. The size and distance was unknown due to being on TV. Thanks to MUFON CMS
West Virginia Cylinder
SLANESVILLE -- Getting ready to leave for work on December 11, 2012, I looked up and saw a glowing blue cigar-shaped object hovering in the sky. A low humming noise was what brought my attention to it. I snapped a few zoomed in pictures with my blackberry. There was a clear sky with a crescent moon, and I believe Venus to the left of the moon. I rushed inside to wake my wife so she could see it. Upon return, the object was gone. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Show Boating
BRISBANE -- We went out front to have a cigarette at 11:50 PM, on December 14, 2012 and looked up to see something dark orange/ red flying higher than aircraft and much quicker. But not fast enough to be an asteroid or comet. It slowed down and stopped completely then it seriously went invisible. It had two small glowing orange circles on it and one by one they flickered and disappeared. Then reappeared stayed stationary for a couple seconds and then took off faster than possibly anything on this planet.
Two minutes later, we were still in shock and awe when another appeared on the exact same path. I pulled my phone and it flickered but stayed on and shot off in another direction at "warp" speed... It did a 'J-pattern' in the air. I honestly thought this stuff was a load of crap until last night. Changed my perspective on UFOs and other life forms...They're definitely allot more advanced than mankind. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Canada Orb
PRINCE GEORGE, B.C., -- I observed a flashing light out my front room window on August 15, 2012, coming from south. I ran outside to see a bright flashing white light, no noise, and it was undulating up and down, wobbling, going very slowly, and dipping. It was going southeast slowly so I ran to grab my Pentax camera and filmed it undulating up and down, and sort of wobbling. I filmed it for 26 seconds as it went right over my head silently. Please note: my camera shutter speed was on longer mode as I had been photographing waterfalls that day, and had not changed the settings. So on film, the craft looks multicolored, but you can clearly see a revolving ring going around the craft. I live by the airport, and have yet to hear a silent airplane, or see one going that slow.

Dubai Oval Shaped Formation of White UFO's
SHARJAH -- I was starring up in the night sky when all of a sudden I saw circle shaped UFO's in an oval formation. The sky was red and the objects were white in color. Seven craft like objects was observed. The shapes were circle and they were in an oval formation. And some kinds of light-rays were there in the middle of each object. I called my parents and they saw it too.Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com
India Fireball
GURGAON -- I was coming out of my office when I noticed a red and green ball of fire in the sky travelling at a very high speed on November 30, 2012. It was not visible after 2-3 seconds. There are no reports of comets or any other objects reported in the news. This seems to be an UFO. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com
Philippines Fireball
My husband and I saw strange orange lights on three separate occasions. The first one was a few days ago about November 11 or 12, 2012, with three separate sightings of orange lights in a week. I was hanging laundry on our second floor balcony at around 10 PM, in the evening and saw a single orange light slowly moving above me. It didn't make a sound and it slowly vanished in the clouds towards the north. I called my husband to check it out but we didn't make a fuss out it thinking it was just a flare or a Chinese lantern.
The second sighting was yesterday on November 16, at about seven in the evening. It was also a single bright orange orb flying soundlessly, this time going straight to the east. It again vanished in the clouds. I immediately thought it was an airplane of some sort because it's impossible for me to experience two UFO sightings in a week.
The third one was late in the evening of November 16, at exactly 10:30 PM. My family was going on a road trip and we were about to load ourselves in the car when I saw the orange orb again going to the east. I told my husband it must be an airplane but he yelled it was not an airplane and when I looked there were 10-15 flying orbs. The first group of orbs was flying in a wide triangular shape. The second group formed a line. They all headed towards the east and vanished in the same spot.
It was already late and nobody saw it aside from us. It didn't look like flares to us because it was flying on a straight path and it didn't look like Chinese Lanterns either because they formed a triangle or looked like it was in control of its direction and vanished in the same spot. We got it on video using a mobile phone. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com
South Africa Craft
DURBAN -- There were two round craft that stayed very close together on November 26, 2012 at 7:47 PM. It flashes the colors purple, green, blue, and yellow dramatically and really fast. It moves extremely fast and the two separate at times. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com
Sri Lanka Many Sightings
MOST CITIES -- Everywhere last week UFOs were seen by adults and children. There were lots of witnesses, and video.
Please look into it, all TV stations in Sri Lanka everywhere got footage of UFOs, they are not fakes.

UK/England Sphere
LANCASHIRE -- A few minutes ago I was watching a satellite slowly moving across the sky towards the south that was about to fade. Suddenly a meteorite flashed in the same place to the left and then another on December 1, 2012, at 5:10 PM. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

HHS Launches Health IT Collaborative
Leavitt will chair the 17-member American Health Information Community charged with accelerating a nationwide transition to networked electronic health records.
Health care costs now represent about 15 percent of the GDP, said Leavitt, that's three times the percentage in 1960.
While much of the increase is due to new technologies, economists estimate that about a third of the health care spent is wasted in services like redundant tests.
For health IT to decrease this waste, Leavitt said, the industry needs to share information so providers can better assess what services a patient needs.
Sharing information requires shared standards, and these standards should come from government-led "guided collaboration" rather than from government mandate or the "last vendor standing" in a competitive marketplace.
Scott Wallace, head of the National Alliance for Health Information Technology (the Alliance), a consortium of health care payers, providers and technology vendors, said the move was "an unprecedented level of engagement by a Cabinet secretary in fundamental technology," and that his involvement might hasten the development of standards by taking them out of a business and policy vacuum.
"The private sector tends to be pretty slow" at developing standards, said Wallace. "Debates are not occurring between the clinicians and businesses who will use them but the technologists that develop them, and that's not good."
At a speech in February, David Brailer, the National Health IT Coordinator, hinted that if the industry failed to adopt common standards, the government would be forced to step in.
But Rob Seliger, CEO of Sentillion and chair of the interoperability working group at HIMSS (Health Information Management and Systems Society), welcomed Leavitt's involvement despite a risk of excessive government involvement.
"I think he goes into it not with the intent of a heavy hand but with being a catalyst. The fact that he's going to chair it is a monumental step for this industry."
The AHIC will help "line up all the rails," said Leavitt, a reference to problems in the U.S. railway system in the 19th century, when regions laid down tracks of varying width that could not be shared across the nation.
The AHIC will include members throughout the health care industry, as well as local and state governments. HHS will solicit nominations for members of the committee.
Leavitt said that the AHIC would provide deliverables within months, and hinted that these would include a process for setting standards for interoperability and certifying compliance.
The Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology, an industry collaborative that formed last year by the Alliance, announced Monday that "the goal of creating a credible, voluntary process for certifying electronic health record [EHR] products is in sight," and that a certification program would be in place by the end of the year.

The Second Annual Self-Publishing Symposium at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture was an inspiration and a deluge of information for Self-Published authors and novices, agents, editors, distributors and other industry professionals.
Founded by Renee Flagler, CEO of Aspicomm Media, a self-published author herself, the revolutionary annual event was created as a catalyst to educate, inspire and share resources with people who want to learn how to self-publish their literary works.
"This year's Symposium is geared toward helping participants learn successful business strategies from industry experts, network with professionals and make powerful connections, that will help them grow their business to new heights," stated Flagler.
Keynote Speaker, Tony Rose, CEO of Amber Communications Group, Inc. and founder of the African American Pavilion at Book Expo America*, shared his expertise on "Publishing and Writing with Purpose and Conviction". Other speakers and panelists included Donna Hill, Georgia Woodbine, Troy Johnson, Felecia Pride, Marc Anthony Jenkins, Tom Campbell, Dr. Maxine Thompson, Teri Woods, Takesha Powell, Linda Pate, Nancey Flowers, Richard Jeantry, Dr. Cynthia Hunter, Adrienne Ingrum, Esther Armah and Diane Gedymin. The daylong event presented a series of sessions, including: "Truths about Publishing", "From the Page to the Stage & Beyond", and "Mastering Business".
An additional highlight of the event was the Second Annual S'Indie Awards (Self/Independent Publishing Awards) which was initiated to raise awareness for works by African American independent and self-publishers and authors and giving homage to them and their contribution to the industry. The winners were chosen based on literary excellence, quality of production and originality. Recipients of the Second Annual S'Indie Awards included Rosalind McLymont, Best Fiction for "Middle Ground," Andrea Travwick Jones, Best Children's Book for "God Loves Me," L.Y. Marlow, Best Non-Fiction for "Color Me Butterfly," Rev. Will Kenlaw, Best Spiritual/Inspirational for "A Father's Guide to Raising Daughters: For Women," C.D. Grand, Best Poetry for "Just a Little Love," Bea Joyner, Best Cover for "A Taste of Things To Come," and The Trailblazer Award went to Rose Whaley.

Will Ferrell, the familiar lush Ron Burgundy mustache flowing over lips pressed to a flute, bounded onto the stage of "Conan" last week to toot a song – and make an announcement fans have waited eight years to hear.
"There will be a sequel to 'Anchorman,'" he declared, resplendent in a burgundy polyester suit straight out of the Action 4 News dressing room closet.
Whether or not he realized it, Ferrell/Burgundy served as a pied piper of sorts, heralding what we'll affectionately call the march of the delightfully dumb comedy reunions. Speaking of flutes, the latest "American Pie" installment is due out Friday amid welcome news of sequels planned not only for "Anchorman," but for "Twins" and "Dumb and Dumber."
The news also comes on the high heels of Adam Sandler earning a record 10 Razzies for his double turn as a sister and brother in "Jack and Jill" – a cautionary tale for dumb comedies gone bad (and a flick unlikely to see additional chapters). We're mindful that sequels to mindless movies come with the risk of not living up to our laugh-filled memories. But we're dumber enough to have high hopes.
It may be folly to analyze why silly movies are hot, though escapism is usually reason enough. There seems to be a market, given the success of "The Hangover" films and "Bridesmaids," which surpassed "Dumb and Dumber" for moviedom's most disgustingly hilarious bathroom scene.
Career revival also appears to be at play. Sure, Ferrell is a box office draw, the lackluster response to his recent Spanish-language comedy experiment, "Casa de mi Padre," aside. But Jim Carrey, who co-starred with Jeff Daniels in 1994s' "Dumb and Dumber," hasn't scored a major hit in years.
Danny DeVito, the shorter half of 1988's "Twins," is enjoying a comeback playing a lout on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and giving voice to the Lorax. But Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has underutilized his gift for comedy, could use a boost after his stint as governor of California and a not-so-funny marital scandal. Eddie Murphy, who is joining the new movie – to be called "Triplets" – as the third long-lost brother, may be the most successful movie comedian ever, but he hasn't notched a live-action smash in a decade.
Producers of the planned sequels likely will be closely watching the fortunes of "American Reunion," the fourth theatrical release in the "Pie" series, which, with its 1999 debut channeled the twisted spirit of "Porky's" for a new (de)generation. There's a great appeal in seeing Jim, Stifler and the gang all grown up – except, of course, that age doesn't translate into maturity.
The lure of movie comedies that bring out the immaturity in us pre-dates "Porky's." Word of the "Dumb and Dumber" sequel came during the promotional tour for the Farrelly Brothers' upcoming cinematic homage to The Three Stooges – the original Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest. Meanwhile, "Animal House," the forever-young drunken daddy of the modern gross-out movie comedy, is on tap for a reboot as a Broadway musical.
It may be too much to hope that the song remains the same – but we'll always have that "Anchorman" flute scene. Check out the latest tune from the legendary Ron Burgundy below:

Windows Cryptography API: Next Generation (CNG)
For long-term Visual C++ developers, the CryptoAPI will be a familiar part of the programming toolkit, providing hashing, encryption, signing, and certificate management since the very first releases of the Win32 SDK. After 12 years of service, the replacement for the CryptoAPI has been released with Windows Vista: Windows Cryptography API: Next Generation (CNG)
The Cryptography API: Next Generation (CNG) brings two main advantages over the CryptoAPI technologies that it replaces: better API factoring to allow the same functions to work using a wide range of cryptographic algorithms, and the inclusion of a number of newer algorithms that are part of the National Security Agency (NSA) Suite B. Suite B algorithms meet the requirements for the transmittal of information up to a classification level of Top Secret, and are an important requirement for companies that produce software for use by the government. In this article, Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH), which is one of the newer secret agreement algorithms contained in the CNG, will be demonstrated.
Before diving into CNG, it is worth briefly looking at the bigger picture. Like the CryptoAPI, CNG ships in the box with the Windows operating system, with availability limited to Windows Vista and above. CNG is targeted at C++ developers, with C-DLL interoperability the only way for a C# or VB.NET developer to get access to its functionality. CNG does not suffer from the same export restrictions that hampered CryptoAPI adoption in its early releases. CNG works in both user and kernel mode, and also supports all of the algorithms from the CryptoAPI, which greatly reduces migration difficulties. The CNG is fully factorable, and any of the functionality it offers can be extended or replaced by third-party cryptography providers. The Microsoft provider that implements CNG is housed in Bcrypt.dll.
In addition to the secret agreement functionality demonstrated later in this article, CNG also offers functionality in the following areas:
- Random number generation
- Digital Signing
- Hashing
- Asymmetric encryption
- Symmetric encryption
Most developers will be familiar with the difference between symmetric encryption (also known as private-key cryptography) that uses a shared secret to secure data, and asymmetric encryption (also known as public-key cryptography) that uses a public-private key pair to secure data. Asymmetric encryption has a significantly higher computation overhead, and many high-level protocols will use asymmetric to exchange a shared secret that then can be used with symmetric encryption over the life of a session. The SSL-handshake is an everyday example where this key exchange occurs.
Well-known asymmetric algorithms, such as the RSA algorithm, use the product of two large prime numbers as the public key, as it is difficult to work out the original prime numbers (which are the private key) that were used to calculate the product. Advances in both mathematical theory and computing power have led to significant increases in the size of keys needed to securely use asymmetric encryption based on prime numbers. Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is a different approach that relies on the co-ordinates of points over an elliptical curve. This article won't delve into the cryptographic theory, but interested readers are encouraged to visit Wikipedia for a full explanation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve_cryptography). The main advantage of ECC over algorithms such as RSA is that shorter key lengths can be used to achieve the same level of security.
The current state of the CNG's documentation is fairly immature, and the SDK samples don't contain any CNG code samples. Because the interface into the CNG has been factored to work across a wide variety of algorithms and cryptography tasks, trying to work out the order in which to call the various functions can be a difficult task. To supplement MSDN's documentation on typical CNG programming tasks, which does not include the pseudo-code for secret exchange, the rest of the article will focus on this topic.
The first CNG task is to open an algorithm provider that supports secret exchange. When an algorithm provider is opened, the provider and algorithm need to be specified—to open the Microsoft provider using the 384-bit prime elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm, the code would read:
BCRYPT_ALG_HANDLE algHandle; BCryptOpenAlgorithmProvider(&algHandle, BCRYPT_ECDH_P384_ALGORITHM, MS_PRIMITIVE_PROVIDER, 0);
Once an algorithm provider is open, a key pair needs to be generated or opened from a store. For the generation case, the code is:
BCRYPT_KEY_HANDLE fullKey; BCryptGenerateKeyPair(algHandle, &fullKey, 384, 0); BCryptFinalizeKeyPair(fullKey, 0);
The public key then needs to be exported and passed to the other side of the secret exchange:
PUCHAR publicKey; ULONG publicKeySize = 0; //get the size of the public key BCryptExportKey(fullKey, NULL, BCRYPT_ECCPUBLIC_BLOB, NULL, 0, &publicKeySize, 0); //allocate a buffer for the public key publicKey = new UCHAR[publicKeySize]; //get the public key BCryptExportKey(fullKey, NULL, BCRYPT_ECCPUBLIC_BLOB, publicKey, publicKeySize, &publicKeySize, 0); //now we can pass publicKey to partner over unsecure transport channel

Dish's Hopper DVR Is No Aereo
Jul 17, 2014 12:32 PM PT
Dish Network this week chalked up another victory in the courts for its Hopper digital video recording service.
An appeals court rejected a bid from Fox Broadcasting Company to disallow some features in the Hopper platform, namely the place-shifting capabilities of Dish Anywhere and Hopper Transfers.
Dish Anywhere allows Hopper customers the option to view content remotely from Internet-connected devices like tablets, smartphones and computers. Hopper Transfers lets iPad users move or copy certain Hopper recordings to their device, eliminating the need for an Internet connection to view the content.
Dish's streaming of the content was unauthorized, Fox argued, and it appealed to the court to prohibit it. However, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's September decision allowing Dish to continue providing those services.
Lack of Evidence
The lower court made legal errors and false factual findings in the September ruling, Fox claimed, but the appeals court failed to agree with its assertions. The appeals court threw out Fox's claim that those specific functions of Hopper -- which has been in operation since January 2012 -- would "irreparably harm" it, citing a lack of evidence.
Fox's argument echoed the Supreme Court's June ruling that Aereo -- a streaming service for broadcast television -- violated copyright laws, effectively halting Aereo's service. (However, Aereo is attempting to revive itself in the form of a cable company.)
Dish "engages in virtually identical conduct when it streams Fox's programming to Dish subscribers over the Internet," Fox claimed, adding that it "has repeatedly raised the same defenses as Aereo which have now been rejected by the Supreme Court."
Physical Presence
The Dish service is very different from Aereo's, Dish argued, in that the Hopper DVR system is physically present in consumers' homes, while Aereo's DVR system is based on a cloud platform.
"Fox's contention that what Dish is doing is virtually identical to Aereo is only correct inasmuch as the Internet is being used to deliver a TV channel," said Colin Dixon, founder and principal analyst at nScreenMedia.
"There the difference ends. The equipment performing the transmission is in the customer's home, completely dedicated to that customer. The customer simply directs the DVR to tune a channel and the sling functionality transmits it to them, wherever they may be," he told the E-Commerce Times.
"I'm not sure what harm Fox is claiming. In the Dish arrangement, Fox is getting paid a license fee for the content being consumed and credit for the viewing so that ads can be valued correctly. Neither of these things were true with the Aereo case," Dixon explained.
"The most obvious difference to me is that, unlike Aereo, Dish pays retransmission and affiliate fees to networks," said Andrew Frank, research vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner.
"Dish is not seeking to avoid these fees, as Aereo was. The fact that Aereo and Dish used similar arguments about the role of innovative technology in their service architectures seems to me secondary to the issue of how disruptive each appears to the flow of revenue from distributors to copyright holders. I think Hopper's AutoHop -- ad-skipping -- feature might be an even more contentious issue," he told the E-Commerce Times.
Trial Pending
The spat between Dish and Fox would best be resolved at a trial, the appeals court determined; it is scheduled to begin in January.
In 2012, Fox, along with ABC, CBS and NBC, sued in an attempt to halt the AutoHop and Primetime Anytime features on the Hopper platform. The Ninth Circuit appeals court rejected that lawsuit last year.
If the court rules in favor of Dish in the Fox trial, it "will do little to resolve the fundamental problem that technology seems to have outdistanced the vision of pre-Internet lawmakers," Gartner's Frank suggested.
"It will, however, continue the trend toward time-shifted and place-shifted viewing, which gives consumers more control over their media experiences. The question of whether this would harm or ironically help broadcasters is complex, but it does seem somewhat reminiscent of the Sony v. Universal "Betamax" case, in which the movie industry, having argued that consumer VCRs would do irreparable harm to their business, ultimately enjoyed a windfall from the home video market," he observed.
Negotiations Needed
"This was the fifth consecutive court ruling that upheld the Hopper's ability to skip commercials or transfer certain recordings to other devices," said Mike Paxton, a senior analyst at SNL Kagan MRG.
"While it's possible that Fox will again appeal the ruling, it appears that if broadcasters want to successfully stop Dish subscribers from using those features, they are going to have to take a page from the recent Disney retransmission deal with Dish. That deal, which was negotiated as part of a retransmission consent agreement, calls for Dish to alter its ad-skipping Hopper feature so that it won't work on ABC, ESPN and other Disney network shows until three days after a show airs," he told the E-Commerce Times
"Overall, it seems that if broadcasters want to stop Dish subscribers from using Hopper's still-controversial features, they need to rely on commercial agreements rather than trying to go through legal channels," Paxton added.
"Service providers, broadcasters and viewers all realize the industry is changing," telecom analyst Jeff Kagan pointed out.
"Some like the change and opportunity, and others don't," he told the E-Commerce Times. "Some would prefer things stay put since that is the way their business is built."

RX 93.1 Opens Up the Airwaves to Indie Artists By Jim Ayson Wednesday, 08 September 2004 Indie artists usually find a friendly ear on a few radio stations open to playing their music (NU107 for one), but most stations appear to concentrate on the product being pushed by the major record labels. We just got word that RX 93.1 FM has now deviated slightly from the contemporary hit-radio (CHR) format focusing on music from the majors and has started a policy of accepting indie material - and playing these on the regular playlists alongside the Britneys and the Outkasts of the world. According to RX 93.1 DJ Francesca, a program called INDIE GROUND has been started to solicit material from indie artists for playing on the regular all-day playlist (not just on a special time slot).Francesca also mentions that the station is still looking for indie artists to add to the playlist. For more info, contact her at email@example.com "... or stop by the station at the 17th Floor of Strata 2000, Emerald Ave., Ortigas Center".

Hospitalists in El Dorado, AR
We found 4 Hospitalists in El Dorado, AR.search & filter
Hospitalists are physicians who specialize in the care of patients in the hospital. The majority of hospitalists are board-certified internists and have completed the same training as other internal medicine doctors including medical school, residency and board certification examination.
Hospitalist activities include patient care, teaching, research, and leadership related to hospital care. They have more expertise in caring for complicated hospitalized patients on a daily basis since, unlike other specialists or primary care doctors, they spend most of their day in the hospital.
They often coordinate the care of their patients and act as the central point of communication among the different doctors and nurses involved in the patient's care. They are also the main physician for family members to contact for updates on a loved one.

Classic movies + jazz standards
Recently one of my favorite NY cinemas, the Film Forum, was running a new 35 mm restoration of Otto Preminger's "Laura" from 1944. I went to see it on New Year's Eve (they actually offered a complimentary glass of sparkling wine, how nice was that) – really charming. I've always loved the tune (the melody is pretty clever and mysteriously catchy…), so it's great to know where it actually comes from…

Anyway. That made me look up for more classic movies with great jazz standards in them.
So far I've also liked:
"Days of Wine and Roses" (1962) by Blake Edwards. Music by Henry Mancini. Drew out a pretty dramatic story of alcoholism and love. At some point it was a bit cornily moralizing but actually, also really effective (I've been actually trying to drink less after seeing it).
"One Touch of Venus" (1948) by William A. Seiter, starring Robert Walker and Ava Gardner.With Kurt Weill's Speak Low in it (much slower version than how most people play the tune nowadays). Beautiful!
"The Americanization of Emily" (1964) by Arthur Hiller, starring Julie Andrews and James Garner. That one has Johnny Mandel's "Emily" in it as the title tune (nowadays most often associated with Bill Evans's version of it, I guess) and some really great thought-provoking anti-war dialogues there.

And then some movies starring the great Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire:
"Top Hat" (1935) by Mark Sandrich. Music by Irving Berlin (With Cheek To Cheek and more).
I noticed a hilarious quote there, Mrs. Madge Hardwick, sharing some of her mature wisdom
with ms. Gale Tremont (Ginger Rogers), who was a bit perplexed about how impassionately she tolerated her husband's affairs: "My dear, when you're as old as I am you take your men as you find them. If you can find them." Maybe I'm wrong but I think nowadays people take expectations on perfection so seriously that they don't even joke about things like that? And also interestingly, despite the emphasis on girl power, it's rare nowadays to come across characters with such striking charm and charisma as seen in these movies… And the sensuality of it (strange how that actually does not necessarily require nudity)…
With US billing address, it's really easy to watch them on Amazon Instant video, for example. (BTW, I support paying for copyright! BTW2: I've added some affiliate links here – it's my first time trying it, but I should actually earn a few cents if you watch it through my links…)
I've been having such a great time discovering those movies lately. Hollywood movies actually used to be quite a bit more chic and witty…?

Critics assail Cuomo's gun deal as secret, rushed
ALBANY, N.Y. -- Good-government groups and rank-and-file lawmakers criticized Gov. Andrew Cuomo for pushing his stricter gun control measures into law through secret meetings with a few legislators, and without time for close review or public comment.
The Senate passed the bill Monday; the Assembly approved it Tuesday and Cuomo signed it into law less than an hour later, making New York the first state to pass tougher gun control laws since the Connecticut school shootings.
Both Democratic and Republican lawmakers complained they saw the bill for only 20 minutes to two hours before they had to vote. And several Republicans said in floor debates that Cuomo, a Democrat, pushed his bill to passage to boost his own political career.
Dick Dadey of Citizens Union, speaking for several good-government groups, said the legislation wasn't given an adequate airing.
"We understand the need to act quickly, but the best supported policies are those that benefit from public discussion and a transparent process," Dadey said.
Dadey said that of 56 sections in the complex bill, 51 won't be effective for 60 days, several not for a year, and just two were immediate.
"All the big things we do seem to be done with a message of necessity," said Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin, an upstate Republican. "Just because we are first doesn't mean much. We need to be best."
"I find it unfortunate we are not able to debate this bill with all the senators," said Democratic Sen. Terry Gipson of the Hudson Valley, who noted he had only two hours to review the bill.
Cuomo on Monday issued a "message of necessity" to suspend the three-day waiting period required for all bills under the state constitution, the way he has for almost all of his major policy issues and budgets. Governors often use the measure created for emergencies to seize a deal negotiated behind closed doors before lobbyists, rank-and-file lawmakers, the media and the public can raise concerns which could unravel a deal.
Cuomo said Tuesday he feared an "unprecedented" rush to buy assault weapons if he waited three days for a legislative vote. He discounted the criticism as coming from lawmakers who opposed the gun control bill, but who he said were silent when the waiting period was suspended for bills they supported, such as pension reform.
"It tends to be politically expedient," the governor said.
Other Democrats in the Assembly and Senate complained of the rushed process and having too little information, but declined to publicly criticize the popular governor, who also heads the state Democratic Party.
In pushing stricter gun laws, Cuomo said the scourge of assault weapons violence constitutes a dire emergency and the government must act as soon as possible.
"I think the people of the state said they want something done and they want it done now," Cuomo said in a press conference Monday night in which he detailed the bill for the first time publicly. "People are crying out for this ... enough people have lost their lives. Let's act."
He also said delay could mean a run on the purchase of assault weapons.
But Assemblyman David DiPietro, an Erie County Republican, said the governor pushed the package through because he wanted "to be on the six o'clock news."
"Why are we being bullied into approval of this bill?" asked Assemblyman Steve Katz, a Hudson Valley Republican. "Solely, for the governor's egotistical, misguided notion? ... Is there anyone in the nation other than he who cares if New York comes out first, or last?"

Which Websites Are Sharing Your Personal Details?
The Wall Street Journal has done an exclusive analysis of the personal information that popular websites are sharing about you.
For an article coming out Saturday, the Journal tested 71 popular websites that request a login and found that more than a quarter of the time, the sites passed along a user's real name, email address or other personal details, such as username, to third-party companies. One major dating site passed along a person's self-reported sexual orientation and drug-use habits to advertising companies.

Kobolds are a major problem in my trap setups. Not because they aren't killed by most traps, and not because they can make it to the rift very easily without player intervention, but because they set off all of my traps without actually being effected by them.
This causes a problem where a kobold will run through my traps, setting all of them off, and causing them to all need to reset. Meanwhile, a wave of orcs will come waltzing through my defences because all of my traps are resetting themselves.
I've tried placing brimstone almost immediately after the rift (brimstone is one of the few traps that kobolds will be affected by). This helps immensely with the kobold sappers (the one's with the explosives) because they're normally the first ones out of the rifts, and it sometimes helps with regular kobolds, but the problem is that sometimes kobolds come after the first few orcs have already wasted my brimstone.
What is the easiest and most reliable way to deal with kobolds? I would prefer if there's a strategy that needs no player intervention, but I'm starting to think that I'm just going to have to keep an eye out and shoot them quickly.

WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. – A West Bloomfield grandmother charged with murder in the shooting death of her 17-year-old grandson has told the jury she killed him in self defense, but the prosecution is calling it a premeditated murder.
During Monday's closing arguments, Assistant Prosecutor Paul Walton said the shooting began when Layne cornered Jonathan Hoffman in his bathroom at the West Bloomfield condo.
"Ten shots to another human being is deliberate," Walton said. "Ten shots over 6 minutes."

In court, Walton repeated Layne's explanation about why she would bring a gun into the room.
"'(I) got the gun because I wanted him to hear me and pay attention to me,'" Walton said.
On Monday, the jury again listened to a 911 call from Hoffman saying his grandmother had shot him. Two minutes and 47 seconds later Hoffman said he had been shot again.
"Is that a chance to take a second look? To think about what you're going to do before you pull the trigger again?" Walton said.
Jerome Sabota, Layne's lawyer, reminded the jury of Hoffman's alleged violent temper, his recent arrest and overdose and his use of K-2 synthetic marijuana.
"Think about somebody that's 73 or 74 and this behavior is occurring in her presence," said Sabota.
Sabota says Hoffman kicked his grandmother in the chest and hit her in the face before she pulled the trigger.
"She was in hysteria. She was afraid and reacted to his physical attack. That's why killed him. That's why she shot," the attorney said.
However, Walton says Layne never complained of injuries and suggested she went into the basement to reload. He says she told police right when they arrived at the home that she killed her grandson.
"The first thing that she says to (the police officers) is, 'I murdered my grandson,'" Walton said.
The jury started deliberations Monday afternoon.

Deep Breaths of Home
"I don't get to come up here all that often, but when I retire, we'll fix this place up and this is where we'll live."
Ömer Abi led us through the skeleton frame of the two-story house out onto the unfinished cement balcony. The orchard sloped away from the house in a tangle of unkempt grapevines and apricot, mulberry and walnut trees, the last of their leaves clinging to near barren branches. Fading traces of autumn's glory graced the foothills of the mountains across the valley from us while their peaks had been newly dusted with the first snow of the harsh Eastern Turkish winter.
"I've lived a lot of places in this country - they never station a policeman in his hometown. But for me, no place is as beautiful as here." His eyes shone with pride. "You could be from the ugliest place in the world - the desert, or somewhere with nothing but dirt and rocks, but if that is what you grew up with, if that is what you are used to, then no matter where you go, you always long for that dirt and those rocks. That's what's beautiful to you, because it's in you. It's home."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
There's an actual word in Turkish for "someone who lives far away from home" - "gurbetçi." It's always pronounced with a bit of wistfulness in the voice, and the inevitable response to hearing that someone is a "gurbetçi" is a look of sympathy mixed with longing.
Over the last couple of years, I've done dozens of interviews with gurbetçiler for my book project, tentatively titled "The Scent of Home." Some people I interview have a hard time at first coming up with words to describe their hometowns. I can't tell you how many times I've heard the phrase "It's just your average village in Anatolia." But when we get to the "smell" questions, suddenly their memories are unlocked and their faces get animated. "Whenever I smell bread baking, it's like I'm five again, sitting beside my mom as she cooked yufka over the fire in our back garden." "My grandpa always smelled like goats." "There was this one brand of lemon-scented hand wipes my parents always used to wipe our faces..."
The idea for the title came from a conversation with my old language helper when she talked about visiting her "hometown" as an adult. She'd only actually lived there until she was three, but it was her father's home and therefore hers, too. She got this sweet, little girl smile on her face as she talked about the smell of the dirt in her grandparents' garden, and how as soon as she smelled it, it was familiar, like home. And she instinctively knew that was the soil she'd been formed from. That it was a part of her, and she of it.
Last month as I was "retreating" on Bowen Island, I made a discovery about myself. Well, actually, it was something I already knew, but it was confirmed deep in my heart. It hit me one morning that weekend, as I sat nestled into a groove in a fat log in a little cove on the south side of the island under a cloudy gray sky. I was watching the dark waves roll and tease the barnacle-clad shore. My revelation: I am British Columbian to the core.
I may have lived outside of Canada for going on half my life, but this place is home. It's in my bones.
I've lived half an hour from the Mediterranean for the past nine years. And all that turquoise water is gorgeous - don't get me wrong. But honestly? It doesn't do much for my heart. But give me rocky shores crowded with pine and fir trees, seagull laughter and the tangy smell of kelp and seaweed tossed in the black waves, and even if - or maybe especially if - it's sopping wet with rain, I'm the happiest of campers.
I can totally echo Ömer Abi's sentiments - no matter where in the world I roam (and I've roamed a LOT), no place holds a candle to British Columbia. And I think anyone who's been here would agree - it's a whole lot more than a sentimental attachment to my own version of his "dirt and rocks". This place is all kinds of gorgeous.
BC Day happened to fall while I was away on Bowen, and that day, my inner Vancouverite was spoiled rotten with more local beauty than my heart could handle.
I started the day with a run around lilypad-draped Killarney Lake on a trail that winds 4 km through wet, mossy forest. And it was the alive-est I'd felt in ages. I love my dirt-road route back in Turkey. (Nothing like a herd of sheep to cheer you on!) And the path in the park behind my elementary school where I usually run when I'm home in BC holds its own special memories. But that day, as my feet pounded the soft earth, as I burst through glistening spider webs and ducked under low-hanging pine branches and powered up hills stair-stepped with gnarly tree roots, I kept thinking, "I wasn't built for dodging cracks in the cement and walkers on cell phones and tiny dogs in sweaters - I was made to run here!"
That afternoon, I tried something I've wanted to do for years and went paddle-boarding around Snug Cove and Dorman Point. (Super fun to be "standing up on the ocean", though next time I think I'll try someplace a little calmer - the waves from the passing speedboats and ferries had me on my knees more often than my feet!) Then I headed across the island to Tunstall Beach and, after a quick dip in the chilly water, I let the fading sun warm me dry, settling in to watch all the other brave British Columbians who haven't had their skin un-toughened by that spoiler of a Mediterranean Sea swimming and paddling and wave-jumping until the sky turned dusky and the cool air sent me in search of some hot soup.
And then came the crowning moment of my already perfectly British Columbian BC Day. After supper, I climbed the hill behind the retreat centre to watch the last glow of sunset make its way across the North Shore Mountains. And as I sat and drank in the twilight beauty, from stage left appeared a deer. He (she? Perhaps I'm exaggerating my British Columbian-ness if I can't tell the difference!) wasn't shy in the least and spent the next twenty minutes poking around in the bushes, not minding that he had a spectator as he enjoyed his dinner.
Since that day, I've been increasingly aware of those moments that make me think, "I am from here. This place is in me." So often it's smells. That oily railroad track-ish scent down at the wharf in Steveston. (And the accompanying foul odour of fish that have spent too long on the dock on a hot summer day...) Seashells that have been baking in the sun for awhile. The way the logs and the sand smell at my favourite spot on the dyke. And then there's the warbled cry of a loon over the stillness of Glimpse Lake in the early morning. The sparkle of raindrops clinging to a fern and the soul-awakening scent of wet tree bark. The feel of my kayak paddle skimming the still water of the Fraser on a quiet evening. The quivering of a lakeshore alive with a million tiny frogs. The curious sight of those little "worm piles" in the tidal pools at Centennial Beach.
I adore my "second home" in Turkey. The "red and white" in my blood is a tumbled mix of maple leaf and crescent and star. (Or thick Turkish coffee and maple syrup. Except I'm not real big on syrup. So, maybe Turkish coffee and...poutine gravy?) But for this "gurbetçi"-girl, there are no "rocks and dirt" like the rocks and dirt I came from. Especially when those rocks and dirt are mussel-jeweled boulders and Pacific-kissed sand. And if there's a seagull laughing overhead and the smell of seaweed cooking in the sun, well...that's just about heaven.
Nefesim memleket kokar
Nefes alırım, ciğerlerim memleket dolar.
Rüzgar bir selam getirir diyarımdan
Sıla özleminden ciğerlerim ağlar.
The air I breathe smells of my homeland,
I breathe in and my lungs fill with home.
The wind brings a greeting from my land,
And my insides cry with homesick longing...
~ Şaban Daş, Turkish poet
