| 4 psychics - different readings
Hi there, I've approached 4 different psychics (well, 2 were card readers) regarding my situation with a guy I like. They're all pretty famous for being accurate. But so far I got 3 different readings. Well, one of the card readers was talking about things that had happened and caused the problem and it was completely different to what the other card reader said. Also the other card reader gave me a timeframe and what to do while the other psychic (not card reader) told me a different timeframe and something a little different to do. Both those two also said a bit different reasons to why it all started. I find it all so confusing, while I want to follow their advice (well the two that gave me advice) I find it difficult when I'm not even sure about the reason. I'm still waiting for the last psychic to reply of course.. Happened to anyone before? |

I believe that this is the way it works, and should work. Readings are not in the realm of physics, with repeatable predictable patterns, but it's metaphysics, and the answers might be very surprising. |

The question is then if I'm truly lost (hence the reason I turned to them in the first place) how will I know the answer.. I was less than surprised with a reading I got from the first reader I approached. But the one I got last night was so different to anything I expected or imagined, and to be honest, scared me a little (she suggested the guy is seeing at least 2 other women, when the first reader stated he isn't with or interested in anyone right now). Whereas the psychic I went to said he cared for me and opened up to me and didn't mention any interest in someone else.. So this is really quick confusing lol |

This is the woman I really admire and know she is very honest.... I didn't get her reading or anything but I do read what she writes on another forum and like her very much... Here is what she says and I agree with her.... Psychic has a bit of a rant. - YouTube Last edited by dreamland; 11-09-2011 at 02:17 PM. |

I find sometimes psychics get very caught up in the subjectivity of what they're seeing, which may be fair enough. This has happened to me loads of times. Maybe they're all right in some places, we all hold different layers of information inside us and I suppose they're reacting to certain ones closer to what they're aligned with. I find also with overly opinionated psychics they tell you things which actually relates more to them or what they're going through. Hope this helps.

Ishh, I'm not very good at connecting I fear. Any tips on how to connect to my spirit guide? I tried what you put before in the forum with your guardian angel. I always feel I don't connect deep enough. Thanks dreamland and FelineNostalgia.. well, I'm still awaiting an answer from another reader. I suppose if her reading fits anything said before I'll go with that, if not I will just have to continue following my gut feeling and hope for the best. I guess sometimes the sign is we just know better than anyone. |

Just wrote an article about this: Why don't multiple psychics give the exact same predictions and information? |

Thank you Eric, I read through and it's very helpful. To be honest in my case it was mostly information regarding 'now' that confused me (each one of them said different things about how he feels). But bottom line is I think I will go with the answer I felt most connected to and use the advice that psychic gave me (which, to be honest, was what I planned to do since the beginning). Anything else feels wrong for me.

lironil, if you would for a moment consider what I have to say, I will give you a true diamond of knowledge. You can and will find all the answers you will ever need about your personal/life problems and decisions through introspection, deep contemplation and understanding yourself and your behaviors. The key word here is understanding. Knowing and understanding your motives is also extremely important. Once you begin to understand yourself, your behaviors, your emotions, why you do things, why you desire certain things etc, then you will have the power to make genuine changes in your life. I don't imagine many "psychics" would want their clients to know these things, assuming they even know these things in the first place. There are always people out there who profit from ignorance and with-holding real knowledge. The truth is, you don't need to hire a psychic to tell you why you have certain emotional problems, you don't need to hire a psychic to tell you what decision to make. All of such answers can be found within yourself through humble introspection and gradual understanding, period. Also, people with a genuine and vivid spirituality and inner life know and understand how unimportant money is, they also understand how evil and corrupting money and materialism is to the mind and soul, and would never even conceive of charging someone who is truly in need money, in return for help or guidance. Such an act would be unimaginably self-corrupting to the spiritually developed person. The very fact that a "psychic" would charge you money for "spiritual guidance" is more than enough reason to avoid them, because their own spirituality and understanding is not sufficiently developed, they will not be able to help you very much, if at all. Again, a genuine spiritually developed person would never make you pay to receive guidance, but such a person would in every case be more than willing to do it for free, because their satisfaction is the warm-tender feeling of having helped their fellow man out of sincere love, kindness, concern and understanding. Compared to this, money is worth less than a dictionary is to a cow. Say a person comes to you after a lifetime of emotional difficulty and lack of guidance, or some other problem. Would you say, "I understand your problem and I know how to help you, but I will need $397. After you pay me I will answer your questions and help you, but only for 30 minutes"? Is that not basically stating that the persons emotional health and happiness is worth less than your personal gain? Say you come across someone on the street who is suffering in terrible agony from some disease that has become an epidemic, and days earlier you discovered the cure in your lab. Would you say to this suffering person, "I discovered the cure in my lab and I will give it to you, but only after you pay me $797, your aid will be limited to one hour based on what you have payed me". Is that not basically stating that the money is worth more than the persons well-being? What's more important? A. Seeing to it that your fellow man is helped or B. the personal or monetary gain from helping your fellow man If you saw an injured puppy on the side of the road that was yelping out in pain, and you know that you have a full tank of gas and can easily drive the puppy to the vet to get help, would you stand there and say, "I will help this injured and suffering animal, but only if someone pays me for the gas it will take to drive 5 miles to the vet"? I think most people would help that animal out of compassion and concern without even having to think about it, let alone an incentive. The same should be true when it comes to helping one another. In other words, its selfish, greedy, unethical, immoral and evil to trade what should be sincere acts of concern and compassion for your own benefit, gain or other incentive. You will never see a truly spiritual and wise person make a business of selling help/guidance for money/personal gain, their conscience would buckle under the weight of guilt and hypocrisy after only one customer. False teachers and spiritualists can be easily detected according to this ethic. Last edited by Blue Sparks; 11-10-2011 at 08:13 AM. |

Blue sparks, Why shouldn't a psychic charge for their services? They are taking time and energy away from their day to provide a service for someone else. That's time and energy they could be using to make money doing something else. Why are they the only ones that should be expected to provide their gifts in life for free. You wouldn't expect someone who sings professional to do it for free. You wouldn't expect a doctor to work for free, a house cleaner, a dog walker. I have a friend who does Reiki. She loves it, loves helping people. Would love nothing more to do it full time, but she's afraid that if she excepts money people won't take her seriously. She spent a lot of money to learn what she does. The table costs money, the things she uses costs money, the magazines to keep up to date. Why shouldn't she be able to charge without feeling guilty? All the ones I know are good hard working people trying their best just like everyone else. Most do classes so you can learn to do this stuff on your own. It's not some secret they are keeping from you. But like anything else, sometimes it's just nice to have someone else do it for you. I can paint my own nails, but sometimes it's nice to go for a manicure. Actually I've never done it, but you get my point. Of course, like with every profession, you'll have a bad apple here or there who's only in it to milk people. But most of these people are not scam artist. |

Do you know what happens to really great psychics who feel guilty charging for their services? They go get jobs that make them unhappy and suffer all day doing something they hate because the feel too guilty earning a living doing what helps others and makes them feel like they're contributing. And what a shame that is. Took me a long time to realize that I have a right to eat, like everyone else, and that my greatest contribution to others is to honor my gift, use it in service to humanity, and to allow people to give me value in return. To say someone is not spiritual because they receive payment for their service is the reason why some of our best psychics are not practicing (or helping people) today. And what a waste that is. |

Erin, thank you. You put it a lot nicer than I did. This one gets me very upset. We pay people for a lot lesser skills without a second thought, but span heaven and earth, oh no, you should do that for free or else you're a fake. Oh OK. |

I agree with some of what Blue Sparks wrote. Stop seeking psychics for answers. There are a lot of fakes out there. Even "real" psychics come back with poor information sometimes. Then if the information is found to be wrong, there's always the cop out that your spirit guide, etc. thought it was best for you not to know, grow, mature, etc. You paid to get information, and then you find out that it was worthless. Caveat Emptor.

Thanks guys. I gotta say I don't think asking for money for it is wrong, and I only contacted psychics I got good reviews about. I'm aware of fakes.. and also some abuse it and ask for insane amounts of cash. I went to ones who were quite fair. Still, when you get good reviews about them then one says the guy I like really likes me, another says he drifts in and out as he's confused and pursues other girls, then another doesn't even mention him liking me just the fact he's apparently dating loads of girls so it's confusing. My gut feeling does tell me he likes me.. because I find it hard to find answers for things that happened if he doesn't. I suppose that's enough for me to know how to act next as if he does, I can't give up on it just yet. I just need to give it time because well, I do also believe he's confused. It's just really hard cos I'm an extremely impatient person lol |

Money, what do you do with money? You pay an assassin money to commit murder, you bribe a politician or a judge with money to pervert justice and to make decisions in accordance with a criminals desire, with money you buy a Cadillac Escalade that gets 10 MPG and wrecks the quality of air for everyone. Women are kidnapped by the busload, prostituted, wrecked emotionally and traumatized for this little thing called money, people are made into slaves and labored to death for the profits of others. Greed and lust for money is why America is in the shape it's in right now. I have contemplated the evils throughout history done in the name of money and I find nothing pure about it, it corrupts the hearts and minds of people, it is inconceivable for me to sell an act of kindness for money. Serving others with help and guidance, I find this to be a worthwhile pursuit, I see nothing evil or corrupt about doing such things, because when you help someone you do it out of genuine compassion and concern for that persons well being. But when you start trading what are supposed to be acts of compassion for money, your motives are no longer whole and genuine, the heart-felt compassion and concern for the other person is lessened and becomes tainted by the desire for your personal physical gain,. In essence, you are trading a higher, spiritual act of helping others, for a lower, physical monetary gain, wealth. The two natures contradict each other. So you mix spiritually serving others with physical material gain, you get selfish-serving, it's a contradiction of the spirituality and goodness you so profess to adhere to. But you don't need to charge money, because you will find that the reward felt in your spirit by serving another person with pure motives is far superior to that of gaining material wealth for the same act, though, in my opinion someone shouldn't serve or help another person spiritually for a reward or personal gain in the first place. Put it this way, Spiritually helping someone emotionally and mentally. Physically mowing someones lawn. you serve someone in spirit, you get paid in spirit you mow somebody's lawn, you get paid with money. Quote:

If it could be possible to live without money in a comfortable way, I could understand, but especially here in America it is virtually impossible. So it's either offer services and make sure you give as much as you can, even if it means doing more than what was paid for, work in a job that is not fulfilling in anyway and not have time to do these things that you feel as if you're being called to do, or be homeless and do readings. I mean seriously, I understand there is a point where it's abuse, but psychics have to eat too. If a person is willing to pay for the service, it's because they do value it and feel it's worth that. Money is only evil if you view it that way and use it that way. Money cannot be avoided in this society. How are you paying for you internet service? Seriously. You must be making money somehow to be here. If a person has the ability to help others and others are willing to pay for that because they feel it is valuable, where is the evil in that? What about the people who pay $50 for a reading and are given advice that helps set then up financially for the rest of their lives? That $50 is NOTHING compared to how valuable the information that was given is. I know a woman who has a client that she's basically helped become a millionaire. She's never asked money for her readings, but she is given donations. We'll just say after he was able to make this money, he's given her some large donations for her readings because he understood she NEEDED the money and she was spending her time and energy helping him, which he values greatly and has been worth much more to him than what he has paid for them. | |

Exactly if someone has the means to do so without having to charge, great. But we all have bills to pay and someone can either work that into a profession to help people or not do it. My friend does Reiki. She's very good at it, but because she's so afraid to take money for doing it, she keeps her day job and only does a few people when she can fit them in. What a waste, all because people who think that because it's a gift, they shouldn't charge. |

Blue Sparks I think where you're at now in terms of consciousnes has brought you to this conclusion. With time and reflection, im certain you will change your mind. Allow me to raise these points. You seem to think money is the evil thing. Money is a piece of paper and a number on a screen. It's worth represents our desires, goals, oppurtunities, possessions even. I think it's peoples relationship with money that can get out of hand. So, is the piece of paper evil? Sit back and ask yourself that question and really fairly consider it. Is the piece of paper what corrupts people or do people become corrupt for the money? A distinct difference. Psychologists and counsellers recieve money to help people with problems. They go to study extensively and put time and effort into learning so they can help these people and so they can be worth something for their time. Now psychologists help us mentally and emotionally. With your logic, their reward should just be their satisfaction with a job well done. You serve someone mentally and emotionally, you get paid in mental and emotional satisfaction. That's nice and all, but satisfaction in that client isn't going to hold up with the bank when they can't make a mortgage payment. Psychics, though they are different to psychologists, are a little bit of an offshoot. Their goal primarily is to find where you're at right now, and how they can help you with some of the issues you have. To get to the point they're at ( the good ones) they needed training, a lot of effort and time. Someone comes for a reading, might gain a good deal of help, and then leave without paying. All good, spirit pays them right? Well, Spirit food might sound nice in theory, but it doesn't feed my family. When you have a service performed for you, it is etiquette to give something in return. When you buy milk, you exchange a sum of money equal to that of the milk, so that you can recieve the milk. When you have a psychic reading, it might be very nice to say they should be paid in spirit - but they don't feed you, clothe you and keep a roof over your head. It's about balance and it's about living. If you can provide someone a service, while doing what you love and love what you're doing then it is an honorable thing to be able to live abundantly providing that service. I notice in the spiritual community that we were all brought up in this sort of judeo christian consensus belief system that it's good and spiritual to be poor. I don't think this is the case at all, in fact money provides you with a lot of things. Better living conditions, being able to afford good food for a healthier diet, better education for our children, adding some fun into life and being a little more secure and confortable. What's so bad about having those things? Not everyone is evil. I think what you're saying is a little old fashion and a bit unfair. |

Should I elaborate on every single little thing? You all seem to be missing the key point here. For the sake of keeping my argument brief I stated only one side of my view on money, but in no way do I believe money is the absolute evil and should be avoided at all cost. I believe in moderation, along the lines of "not taking more than what you need", I think it should be especially of concern to anyone on the spiritual path the corrupting effects money can have. But I have a bank account too. There's nothing bad about those things Jeremy, the point I've been trying to get across for three posts is that it is not a very good motive to help someone for your own personal gain, its a contradiction. When you help someone it's not about you or your gain, but theirs. How have we confounded money, with acts of kindness? It's as if we are so lacking in concern for each other, that humanity needs an incentive to help and to better one another? Ironic seeing how one of the main New Age tenets is that of unconditional love, but here it's conditional love, based on how many hundreds of dollars your willing to spend? It is sad to see even the people that aren't selling their kindness, defend the people that are, and act almost as if selling and buying acts of kindness were a "cool fad". Has it really come to this? I suppose that your ethics are subject to change if it were a fad of some sort, but this would be expected of a more mainstream audience who have no concept of philosophy what-so-ever or reason to be moral to their fellow creature, besides the fear of going to hell and jail. But you guys are here obviously because you have at least somewhat woken up to the illusion of the "mainstream", and you study spiritualism. So how is it you guys can justify personal gain being a sound motive to do good and helpful things for one another? (Since "helpful things" is quite general, lets specify, emotional help and guidance.) If your sister or brother called you and was feeling terrible and needed some guidance, would you tell him/her to "book a session"? Of course not, you wouldn't make your own family pay. But aren't we all a part of the human family, Earth being our home? The importance of money I believe has long been over-exaggerated. This is especially true in western society, obviously, it has come to a point where even the western spiritualists need an incentive to do something nice for their fellow creature. There is something fundamentally wrong here with the act (of selling kindness), and society as a whole, I just don't believe the two (money and kind acts) should be mixed. I'll close with a quote from the introduction of Thomas Paine's Common Sense essay. "A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom." I know you guys can get it.

If a psychic sees that someone will get hit by a bus if they step out into the street just at that moment, rest assured if they are a good person, they will say, HEY YOU, STOP! and not ask to be paid for helping that person. However, if someone actively seeks out the advice, energy, and services of a psychic then they themselves are willing to pay for these services because they view them as helpful and valuable. You simply cannot bring someone a dead hog for dinner as a thankyou these days and it be useful to the person you give it to. Well, unless you live where I do! LOL. Then it may become breakfast sausage, but that's beside the point. Money is a much more viable and reasonable gift in exchange for services. I feel like you are being very judgemental here and it is unfair to the people who do their very best to help others out. I can attest that if you give your services away for free all the time, that you will spend 24 hours a day on the phone or in e-mails helping others while you are unable to provide for yourself. There is nothing wrong with asking to be paid for a valuable service as long as it is honestly valuable and you are not scamming or taking advantage. A person who installs floors for a living is helping another by putting new floors in their home so the owners don't have to do it themselves. They also ask to be paid for it because it consumes much time and energy, just as doing readings do, and it is a desired service that is valuable. Also, being psychic does not equate to being spiritual. They seem to come hand in hand many times simply because of the doors that are opened, but a psychic does not HAVE to be spiritual therefore being psychic is not necessarily a spiritual path. I feel like that is also a misconception and a psychic should not be expected to be someone who is also very spiritual and will "abide" by these laws and limitations that are set by others' values. Who decided money was root of evil? Man did...I don't think spirit had much of anything to do with that at all. Man is also telling us that we're selfish and not spiritual if we accept money for psychic services. Spirit isn't saying that at all. | |

When it pertains to another persons personal development, emotional health and well-being you do not demand the person pay you for your help, this is unethical. The same money you charged to help that person could also be used to hire a murder, so you see money can be used for good and bad, but acts of kindness and helping others can never be used in a bad way. There is a very subtle point I have been trying to make with this comparison but I'm having a hard time putting it into words, it seems there are no words to describe it. It's like your trading a greater for a lesser, acts of kindness for money, a pure for an impure, it makes no sense, it's a contradiction. When you help someone your reward is heartfelt, you feel it inside, you feel better about yourself but you don't do it for a reward. Why taint it with the motive of acquiring money? It's about helping and serving the other person, not about serving yourself by getting something like money out of it. Serve the other and not yourself. I laid out several good examples but it seems still no one gets it. I thought this was a sort of spiritual forum! Last edited by Blue Sparks; 12-15-2011 at 06:28 AM. |

I'd like to hear all your thoughts on the "payment for emotional support" issue, so I made a thread here. As for the four readings? Hmm, I don't like tuning in to romantic stuff. To me, at least, it's a royal mess. There's the maze of each individual's psyche, there's this bubble of privacy, there's free will in spades more than an inquiry about systemic abundance or individual purpose, expectations and emotions all leaving their own psychic imprint. I'm unsurprised by the conflicting information, you would have gotten a much more conclusive reading by asking your man directly if he sees a future with you in it. |

I don't think it's fair you've used your limiting beliefs about money to chastise people who don't see it the same way. That being said, this is all within reason. If your paying $800 for only half an hour or even an hour with one person - then you'd wanna bloody make sure it's worth it. Me personally - i don't care how good you are- $800 is going to feed my family for 2 weeks so they ( The psychic) can dream on lol. Last edited by HiImJeremy; 12-15-2011 at 11:59 AM. | |

Blue Sparks, While it is true that money can and has been used for a wide variety very bad things it also can and has been used for a wide variety of good things as well. People donate money to a wide range of good causes, like bulding new hospitals or adding a specialized wing on a hospital. They donate money to animal shelters and other animal rights organizations. They donate money to womens shelters and food banks and the Red Cross and the list can go on and on. Money is just a form of energy and as energy can be used for "good" or "bad" depending upon the person who is using it. In that respect money is no different from a computer. A person can use a computer to help others or to cause pain and suffering. The bad/ evil things that you have stated as being being done for money you are blaming it on the money. While I understand your confusion you must realize that it is the person that is weilding the money or desiring the money that is to blame and not the money itself. It's the people, it's the organization, it's the individual and it's their own beliefs about money, their desires pertaining to money, and it's these people's willingness to place aquiring money or aquiring the things money can bring as more important than their fellow humans. It's the people not the money. Quote:
I used to take care of an eldery lady who was originally bedridden and had difficulty chewing after a lengthy hosptal stay. Her children loved her so much they would do anything for her. They showered her with kindness and compassion. They knew she had to keep eating something so they were feeding her jello because it required no chewing. They thought they were being kind to their mother in her last days. They were actually killing her from malnutrition. A mother whose child has been injured and requires painful physical therapy on a daily basis thinks she is being kind to her child by not doing the physical therapy at home as directed by the Physical Therapist can pervent the child from fully healing and could result in the child being crippled for the rest of their life. I can go on with examples of how kindness can inhibit or paralyze a person's spiritual growth or independence. Being kind to someone is not always the right action to take to help them. Quote:
And if they had more money just imagine the good they could do with it. | |||

| To be Or Not to be Of course this is a pretty old post. I accidently jumped on it. The argument that was going on here was from 2 different perceptions. 'Blue sparks' has some points to make and is well appreciated. However the fact remains that as long as the spirits is in mortal bodies they need to feed them ,for which they have to resort to 'beg borrow or steal'. Many saints of the East ( I refer India specifically) were non materialistic and cared less about the material part. They virtually begged near the temples ( Survived on voluntary food and donations) and didn't care about if nothing was available on a particular day. One interesting story would give some insights. The great philosopher. Mystic and enlightened soul Thirumoolar used to spend his time in Dhyana( meditation) in Chidambaram Temple Of India. Once an ordinary beggar approached him and asked for alms. The saint smiled and replied that he was poor and he (the beggar) could try with another saint who was meditating on the other entrance of the same temple. The beggar approached the other saint and asked for alms. But he gave the same reply as Thirumoolar gave. The beggar was greedy and told the second saint that he was directed by the saint on the other entrance( Thirumoolar) . The other great saint smiled in revelation ( Contemparory of Thirumoolar and anonymous) threw his begging bowl to the beggar and told "Take it", He knew that Thirumoolar never kept a begging Bowl infront of him.I (In fact Thirumoolar, the great preceptor was giving a lesson on renunciation to his contemparory, through this episode.) Thirumoolars are few. Time (perceptive) has changed.Although the above philosophy is worth emulating most of the present day psychics are not Avadhootas( Renounced spiritual seekers and evolved souls). It is not fair to expect this kind of approach to life from them. It is their choice and I do not find any reason why it ( the approach) should make them less psychic although it would make them less renounced. |

Moments after that vote, the White House issued a statement indicating it would veto this bill. But that should be a moot point, since Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he won't bring it up for a vote.
"For weeks, the White House said that if I moved on rates, that they would make substantial concessions on spending cuts and entitlement reforms," House Speaker John Boehner said before his plan fell flat. "I did my part. They've done nothing."
While the Ohio congressman said Obama seems "unwilling to stand up to his own party on the big issues that face our country," Democrats say Republican leaders are buckling to their conservative base by backing off as negotiations seemed to be nearing a deal.
White House spokesman Jay Carney called the GOP alternatives "a major step backwards," claiming they'd lead to extended tax cuts of $50,000 for millionaires. Reid slammed the two Republican measures -- the one that passed and the one that wasn't brought up for a vote -- as "pointless political stunts."
The war of words notwithstanding, Boehner, Carney and Senate Democratic leaders all said they are ready to talk. Reid has said the Senate -- with many members attending a memorial service Friday and funeral in Hawaii on Sunday for Sen. Daniel Inouye -- will be back at work December 27. And after Thursday's session, Cantor's office said legislative business was finished for the week but the House could reconvene after Christmas if needed.
"I remain hopeful," Boehner said. "Our country has big challenges, and the president and I are going to have to work together to solve those challenges."
The path toward the fast-approaching fiscal cliff
The possibility of a fiscal cliff -- which economists warn will hit the American economy hard -- was set in motion two years ago, as a way to force action on mounting government debt. Negotiations between top Congressional Republicans and Democrats resumed after Obama's re-election last month as did the barbs from both sides.
Polling has consistently shown most Americans back the president, who insists wealthy Americans must pay more, rather than Boehner and his Republican colleagues, who have balked at tax rate hikes and demanded spending cuts and entitlement program reforms.
A new CNN/ORC International survey released Thursday showed that just over half of respondents believe Republicans should give up more in any solution and consider the party's policies too extreme.

Give Us Your Poor, Your Tired, Your… Talentless Socialites?
Monday, February 16th, 2009
Trans-Atlantic famegamer, Peaches Geldof is back in the gossip pages this week as a result of her impending divorce from musician Max Drummer. The dissolution of the 19-year-old mouthy Britt's marriage with her barely famous husband is just another disaster in a long line of bad press Peaches has accrued since immigrating to Brooklyn. After she was ridiculed for her short-lived column in Nylon, her reality show on MTV was canned, and the plug was pulled on her magazine, Disappear Here, one would think she would have disappeared into flannel shirt anonymity with the rest of her hipster pals.
But not this little British tart. Although Peaches would like you to believe her split from Drummer was amicable, "After much soul-searching we have made a mutual decision to end our marriage and have agreed to go our separate ways. Our parting is amicable and both of us still respect and care about each other immensely. There were no other people involved in this decision and we both look forward to a future as good friends" (Sunday Times), rumors swirling around the gossip pages about her getting cozy with another lady at a loft party in Bushwick and her new love affair with Donald Cumming lead me to believe otherwise.

text: As some of you may know, "North By Northwest" was released on Blu-Ray yesterday (Nov. 3). I simply couldn't resist buying it on my way to work today. I intend to watch it tonight when I get home. It's a 50th Anniversary Special Edition, packed with hours of special features. I previously had the single disc edition dvd of this film, with few special features. Since it's one of my favorite movies, I thought it worthwhile to purchase this new edition on Blu-Ray. Can't wait to check it out!

- Attorney for Edward McMorris seeks gag order on Boulder DA in Tater dog-abuse case
- Tater reunited with former owner in California as Boulder DA appeals abuse case
- Boulder judge: No probable cause Tater the dog 'tortured' by owner in stomping case
- Friend in Boulder animal cruelty case: Edward McMorris 'not a person who would beat up a dog'
- Boulder police: Man kicked, stomped, dragged 4-month-old puppy 'Tater'
The 26-year-old man arrested last week after witnesses say he kicked and stomped a 4-month-old puppy made his first appearance in a Boulder courtroom Wednesday.
Edward McMorris was formally charged with aggravated cruelty to animals and one count of obstructing a peace officer.
McMorris was arrested Aug. 29 after witnesses began calling Boulder police just after 11:45 p.m. to report a man was kicking and stomping on a dog's head near the intersection of Canyon Boulevard and Broadway, according to a police report. When officers arrived, they saw a man, later identified as McMorris, dragging a "listless and hardly responsive" puppy by a leash behind him, according to the report.
McMorris refused to give police the dog
The puppy, which McMorris said is named Tater, was taken to the Boulder Emergency Vet Clinic and kept overnight after the incident. He has since been transferred to the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, where he continues to recover from injuries while being monitored by veterinarians, according to Boulder police.
No one is being allowed to adopt Tater while the case against McMorris remains open, according to the humane society.
Deputy District Attorney Jenny McClintock will be handling the case for the prosecution. McClintock is specially trained to handle animal cruelty cases.
Aggravated cruelty to animals is a Class 6 felony that carries a sentencing range of one year to 18 months in prison, while obstructing a peace officer is a Class 2 misdemeanor that carries a maximum penalty of one year in jail in the event of a conviction.
McMorris, who appeared in custody Wednesday, is next scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 27.

On a recent shopping trip to BJ's Wholesale Club, I was shocked to see several racks of real fur jackets and trim. There was a saleswoman there who verified that they were real fur, although there were NO tags in any of the jackets stating that they were real, which was made illegal by the Fur Labeling Act in 2010.
This is of great concern due to the inherent cruelty involved in its production - all animals killed for fur, whether they are trapped in the wild or intensively farmed, experience immense suffering prior to death.
Despite the industry attempting to promote the image of fur products coming from nature, 85% of fur used in fashion now comes from animals raised on fur farms.
Fur farms are remarkably uniform around the world with animals being raised under appalling conditions, often kept crammed into row after row of tiny barren cages, and left to stand on metal bars for their entire lives. Such conditions fail to accommodate their natural behaviors, driving many to exhibit clear signs of emotional and mental suffering.
When the animals are slaughtered, the methods chosen – which are known to routinely include gassing, neck breaking, electrocution and live skinning – are designed to protect the pelts from damage with little consideration for the animals' welfare.
Every year in the wild, millions of animals are trapped using devices such as steel-jaw leghold traps, body-gripping traps and wire neck snares – all of which inflict a great amount of pain and suffering.
I went to the manager of the store and complained. She said that the fur dealers were doing a road show traveling to several different BJ's club locations. She took down my information and seemed sincerely bothered that they were real. I told her about the fur industry and gave her some information that I always keep handy for times like this. She was so kind and just horrified about what I told her.
A few days later, I followed up the complaint with an email to BJ's. I had also asked other animal advocates to call the store and voice their opinions about fur. This was their response:
"As promised I sent your inquiry to the relevant department and as per their response this was already addressed by BJ's Corporate. We pulled the product off the shelf as soon as we received the initial complaint as well as the information regarding the labeling. We will not be selling fur products again."
I checked two local stores just two days later and every rack of fur is GONE! I am so happy that they actually cared and that all of the calls and emails they received really made an impact.
If you ever see fur products, don't be afraid to voice your opinion to the manager, in a nice, calm way.
The animals need us to be their voice! And please feel free to thank BJ's for making a compassionate decision!
[BJ's online contact form: http://www.bjs.com/contact-us.content.contact_us.A.about]
It gives me hope and I feel empowered that we can really make a difference by speaking up.

You also could have just...not shopped there. I have long since decided to stop pestering Lane Bryant to start carrying clothing for svelte males, but unfortunately, their clientele happens to be portly women, so my calls went unheeded. I have not shopped there since.

Unfortunately, just not shopping there would not have made much of a difference. As an animal advocate, I try to educate in a respectful way and find it much more effective.
1:36 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
I think what you did by bringing it to the attention of the manager was great. Do people actually still wear fur? Didn't it go out of fashion a long time ago?
Ben Jackson
1:31 pm on Tuesday, February 5, 2013
Good for you, and good for them. Don't mind the attack emails, addressing cruelty wherever we find it is imperitave. Thanks for taking action and reporting on it.
11:11 pm on Wednesday, February 6, 2013
The rest of the animal was still on sale however in the MEAT section. Didn't complain about that did ya? So if an animal is killed for food, it's OK, but if it's for its fur...it's cruel. Got it.
Laurence Holyoak

Victories in animal welfare are few and far between and I think it is important to celebrate all of our victories, no matter how small they may be. All of the negativity is disheartening, but you can't let it get you down, because you will stop being effective. People who make a difference don't have time for negativity or bad mouthing. Stay positive! Thanks Ben for the kind words!

Folks -
There's a big difference between fur and meat, and it's a bit disingenuous to pretend that there isn't.
Fur can be duplicated synthetically, to similar feel and effect. Meat can not. Fur is decorative, meat is sustantive.
Meat is legal. Unlabeled fur is illegal.
I agree that we should be looking for meats raised as humanely as possible. Once we can synthetically create meats that mimic live-meats as well as sythetic fur mimics the real deal, we should look at eliminating live meats in our culture. We're not there yet.
Bob Weir
11:10 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
eliminate meat from our culture?!?! I am so glad you are not my neighbor.
Ben Jackson
1:23 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Did you read what I said? What I said was - when we can synthetically create meats of equal quality to live meats, then we should eliminate *live* meat from our culture. Why is the killing important?
Paul Bishop
12:11 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Bob, the problem is fairly simple and is becoming larger- meat (which I love, there's room for all of God's cute little creatures- right next to the mashed potatoes) takes space to produce, and not just the space for the animal itself. The space also has to include the farmland required to produce the feed for that animal, and other overhead. Industrial farming, which is already required to meet demands, is not pretty at all, and brings with it a number of other health issues. All this adds up to the price of meat continuing to climb. My kids, and definately my grandkids- they will see beef as a luxury in the not so distant future. None of that has anything to do with how folks FEEL about farming practices, it's just supply and demand.
In things like chicken nuggets, adding a vegetable filler stretches out the real meat, and as long as we are aware of it's presence, I'm okay with it. I'm okay with veggie burgers (or was, can't eat them now), they are actually surprisingly tasty.
I grew up a Wisconsin farm kid, fresh milk and eggs in the morning and meat and potatoes every night. The sad thing, but the reality is- that is something that is going to become more and more of a luxury as we feed more and more mouths off the same amount of land and resources.
Moral of the story: Order that Prime Rib, and sop up the drippings while you still can afford it!
12:34 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Fur coats are not needed! Go to the store and get yourself a nice winter coat. I do wonder though if people so against fur wear leather and are all vegetarians? Becuase an animal is cute and furry it is wrong but cow hides for shoes, belts, furniture, auto seats etc is ok? Hmmm, wonder if anyone every made a mink couch. I love animals and don't want to see them killed inhumanley but have you seen the Beef industry? It is far from humane. There are also vitamins in meat that humans need. "BEEF...It's what's for dinner"
1:14 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Not to worry....the animals I kill never hear, see, or feel it coming.
Laurence Holyoak
5:31 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Here is a video to educate yourselves about the fur industry-
Laurence Holyoak
5:31 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
In the words of Gavin Rossdale, lead singer of Bush, "The person I love would never wear fur. Fur just makes me think of shallow women who have no conscience. The fur industry belongs to a time when people were selfish beyond belief. If you were some ancient tribal cheiftain, and there was not a department store nearby 350 years ago, I'd understand. But now, we have synthetic fibers, and it's not necessary. The elitism of fur makes me wanna puke."
Tree Hugger
2:54 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
So what about animals that we already kill for food? Just throw the fur out? Let's all go to a vegan diet.
Homo Sapiens will perish from this Earth within a generation. Let's face it, we have too many people to feed as it is on our current food sources. Removing one isn't an option, and synthetically recreating it is obviously not being done on the scale needed at this point in time.

Management Reporter - excel file

Our client has changed the output format from Management Reporter to Excel. This produces a reportname.xlsx file but follows this with a message stating you can't open this file, would you like to browse to select a program to use or would you like to select from a list of installed programs.
The client has Excel installed on his machine but it's office 2003. He has the microsoft office compatibility pack installed. If he clicks on the xlsx file, nothing happens. If the extension is changed to .xls, the file opens in an unreadable formt (symbols and characters).
This happens on the client's machine as well as the server.
I was able to open this file on my machine (Office 2007) and have informed the client one of his options is to install office 2007. Other than that, does anyone have any suggestions on what may allow the client to open the file?

As you know, RCP had a number of docking framework integrations. However none of the frameworks currently supported are active. Which begs the question, should they be included in Valkyrie?
As far as I see, there are currently 2 good options: MyDoggy (opensource, free) and Jide Docking (closed source, paid). If I'm not mistaken, the MyDoggy integration was already done by Peter Karich, so there's just some integration work there.

Research is vital to advancing our understanding of mental illness and, eventually, finding a cure. Research is the ultimate source of hope for people living with mental illness and their families. And research is imperative if we are to understand early intervention strategies as well as all we can about the mental illness continuum including medication side-effects, nutrition, recovery and more.

Very useful and precise, superb cutting. I am using a manual cutter but now am learning the router cutting. A Bosch router and the Stewmac bit kit is an ideal solution.
Very nice set...worked perfectly!
Took a while to figure out and set up properly, but once correct size bearings were chosen and the laminate trimmer properly setup, everything worked like a charm.
We're now using this product in our production workshop and it is worth its weight in gold! We use it in a conventional router table and it is really quick and easy to cut accurate housings for binding the edges of our ukeleles.
Its nice to have this set for all the different options. Also allows you to compensate for gluing. Thanks, Ken
Bought these as it is usually the one size of bearing you don't have that's the one you need. Good quality and delivered promptly.
Bought the complete set. Seems to be enough bearings to rout just about any combination of bindings!
chegou ..estava precisando ... obrigado stewmac
ok..chegou ...obrigado.
Like everything else in life, having the right tool for the right job makes all the difference. This set made binding a pleasure rather than a chore. I can't wait to use it on my next instrument.

Travel philanthropy series - Destination: Morocco
The term "summer vacation" often invokes images of sandy beaches and poolside refreshments. This year, why not make your summer travel count towards a cause? "Travel philanthropy" is increasing in popularity as more and more tourists want to make a positive impact on the world through their globetrotting.
Fortunately, organizations like Elevate Destinations offer several types of tours that give back to both people and the planet. Their "donor travel" itineraries take philanthropists abroad to demonstrate the impact of their contributions to international non-governmental organizations. The company also arranges private tours that allow groups, individuals and families to experience a richer cultural and community exchange by showcasing the work of local nonprofit organizations along the way.
One such tour takes voyagers to Morocco. The two-week excursion explores the major cities of Marrakech, Fez, and Rabat while experiencing the work that community organizations like Association Merzouga are accomplishing in youth development, architectural/cultural preservation and environmental conservation. You can read more about the tour on Elevate Destinations' website.
The Center for Arab American Philanthropy encourages you to keep a philanthropic mindset wherever you go this summer! Over the next few months, we'll be taking you on a virtual tour of travel philanthropy destinations all over the Middle East.

Rubber Bath Mat
This tub mat is made of natural fiber. It stays in place with slip-resistant suction cups, and is mildew-resistant to protect the mat. Latex and PVC-free. Measures 17" x 36". Machine wash. Imported.
Rubber Bath Mat
good product
Nice and long, quality mat covers entire tub bottom. Previous reviews mentioned color is more gray/white than pure white and this is true but this is not a problem.
May 16, 2013
Initial Disappointment
The website says this is "machine washable" and "latex free" but the package and insert say "surface wash only" and "Made with Natural Rubber". The machine washability was one of the main reasons for the purchase, but we'll have to see how well it holds up. I like the feel of it, but I hope it doesn't trigger my latex allergy.
January 5, 2013
we received this mat and took it back because it looked very off white compared to our spotless bath tub. we bought another and it still looked "dirty", so we decided against it completely. if it were a true bright white we would have kept it, but ended up disappointed.
September 11, 2012
Superior Quality Product!
After a recent fall in my old, cast iron bathtub, I tried 2 other products prior to this one. This mat worked perfectly! I wet the bottom of the tub and it stuck like glue, during my entire shower; even with water and hair conditioner all over it, there was no feeling of slipping. The flat bottom was very comfortable to stand on for awhile, as I have ultra sensitive feet. Out of the box, it had a faint odor as most new products do, however it was gone in a day; I'm very sensitive to smells, so this is saying a lot! I hang it outside of the tub to dry, when I'm done, since there is really no way to get around having black mold grow on its underside if left in the wet tub all day or night. It's made quite well, a heavy weight, and this helped it to lay down flat 100% during its first use, unlike some that keep curling up on the ends. I'm keeping this one!

Breakwater (LP sleeve edition)
CD (Item 547788) Arista/BMG/Get On Down, 1978 — Condition: New Copy
A landmark set from a group who only ever gave the world two albums – but who've gone on to have a huge influence over the years! This initial offering from Breakwater is a masterful blend of jazzy fusion and mellower soul – a sound sifted together so perfectly, it really tops the rest of the combo's contemporaries – hitting a careful balance that never gets too cheesy or commercial, and which still manages to glow as strongly into the 21st century as it did when first released back in the day! The sound here is sublime – warm, but never sleepy – jazzy, but never cliched – and mixed in such a way that the vocals and instruments almost get center stage in the spotlight without trying to crowd one another out. Titles include the incredible "Work it Out" – worth the price of the record alone – plus "No Limit", "That's Not What We Came Here For", "Free Yourself", "Do It Till The Fluid Gets Hot", and "Feel Your Way". (In a very cool Japanese-styled, LP-like cardboard sleeve cover!) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |
