The newest emotional lift in my life is Longmont Potion Castle, a weirdo dude from Colorado who's been making prank phone calls since the 1980's and releasing them as albums packed with really sick metal interludes (sometimes in splits with bands like Hatebeak). You need to go on YouTube and check some of them out – trust me, I'm not someone who tells people to "check this out" lightly.
One of my favorites is when he called a Guitar Center to complain about a bag of blueberries that he found inside a recently-purchased Fender. This is a phenomenal call – at one point he even patches in Alex Trebek – that hits home for me recently after a nightmare month of dealing with my local Guitar Center's techs.

My resolution for January was to focus on the blog. So how did I do? See my "report card" below! Strike-throughs mean COMPLETED!
New blog layout New blog buttons
- Change Header (coming soon)
Animated Elle Sees button thanks Artsy Ants! New Twitter layout
- Sponsorships
- Respond to comments daily (I responded to every comment, it just wasn't daily.)
Find at least one new blog to read/possibly respond daily Create a posting schedule. Write quality posts Streamline amount of posts to 4-5x's a week Do product reviews(so far I have 3 coming up!) Create enough blog ideas for 3 months in advance Do monthly guest posts Do monthly features on bloggers Update blog pages (About, Featured In, etc) 12 months of DIYs Monthly entertainments/parties Increase followers and commentsWhile I agree that followers aren't everything (I'm bewildered by new blogs with lots of followers but there's no interaction) I was pleased to find my followers jump a notch.
WILL I CONTINUE THIS RESOLUTION IN THE FUTURE? Most certainly! I hope I never get to the point where I feel my blog is complete. I welcome any and all suggestions (and help!).

3.5 Acre Lake with Luxury Accommodation
3.5 acre spring fed lake stocked with 103 of the finest Carp
The 3.5 acre spring fed lake has been created out of previously water-logged farm land. It was purpose-excavated by A.P. Hall, a specialist fishery contractor, who also constructed the well known Monument Carp Fishery.
Depths range from 4ft to 10ft, with under-water plateaus and visible features in the form of 4 islands, two in each of the North and South bays.
The Northern half of the lake can be fished from our North Lodge with it's double swim suitable for two anglers, and our Original Log Cabin with it's single fishing peg.
The Southern half of the lake accommodates our South Lodge with a double swim suitable for two anglers, and our East Lodge, nearest the car park and suitable for less mobile anglers, with it's single level-access swim.
There are 3 other pegs on the western edge of the lake that are for our members only (we generally only allow 1 of these to be fished if the North and South lodges are booked). If these pegs are empty lodge guests can use these for stalking during daylight hours.
Pegs are spacious, bounded by logs, covered in gravel and have excellent drainage, to ensure they stay clean and dry. Each is accessible via a gravelled path that encircles the entire lake, making transport of your gear from the car park stress-free.

The prophet laments the miseries of his people: and their sins, which are the cause of them. He exhorts them to repentance.
1 Who will give water to my head, and a fountain of tears to my eyes? and I will weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people.
2 Who will give me in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men, and I will leave my people, and depart from them? because they are all adulterers, an assembly of transgressors.
3 And they have bent their tongue, as a bow, for lies, and not for truth: they have strengthened themselves upon the earth, for they have proceeded from evil to evil, and me they have not known, saith the Lord.
4 Let every man take heed of his neighbour, and let him not trust in any brother of his: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every friend will walk deceitfully.
5 And a man shall mock his brother, and they will not speak the truth: for they have taught their tongue to speak lies: they have laboured to commit iniquity.
6 Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit: Through deceit they have refused to know me, saith the Lord.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will melt, and try them: for what else shall I do before the daughter of my people?
8 Their tongue is a piercing arrow, it hath spoken deceit: with his mouth one speaketh peace with his friend, and secretly he lieth in wait for him.
9 Shall I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soul be revenged on such a nation?
10 For the mountains I will take up weeping and lamentation, and for the beautiful places of the desert, mourning: because they are burnt up, for that there is not a man that passeth through them: and they have not heard the voice of the owner: from the fowl of the air to the beasts they are gone away and departed.
11 And I will make Jerusalem to be heaps of sand, and dens of dragons: and I will make the cities of Juda desolate, for want of an inhabitant.
12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this, and to whom the word of the mouth of the Lord may come that he may declare this, why the land hath perished, and is burnt up like a wilderness, which none passeth through?
13 And the Lord said: Because they have forsaken my law, which I gave them, and have not heard my voice, and have not walked in it.
14 But they have gone after the perverseness of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them.
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will feed this people with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16 And I will scatter them among the nations, which they and their fathers have not known: and I will send the sword after them till they be consumed.
17 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, and let them come: and send to them that are wise women, and let them make haste:
18 Let them hasten and take up a lamentation for us: let our eyes shed tears, and our eyelids run down with waters.
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Sion: How are we wasted and greatly confounded? because we have left the land, because our dwellings are cast down.
20 Hear therefore, ye women, the word of the Lord: and let your ears receive the word of his mouth: and teach your daughters wailing: and every one her neighbour mourning.
21 For death is come up through our windows, it is entered into our houses to destroy the children from without, the young men from the streets.
22 Speak: Thus saith the Lord: Even the carcass of man shall fall as dung upon the face of the country, and as grass behind the back of the mower, and there is none to gather it.
23 Thus saith the Lord: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, and let not the strong man glory in his strength, and let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, for I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judgment, and justice in the earth: for these things please me, saith the Lord.
25 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, and I will visit upon every one that hath the foreskin circumcised.
26 Upon Egypt, and upon Juda, and upon Edom, and upon the children of Ammon, and upon Moab, and upon all that have their hair polled round, that dwell in the desert: for all the nations are uncircumcised in the flesh, but all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.

Ultrasound waves create the effect of deep heat in your muscles and joints.
The deep heat of ultrasound increases the blood flow to the area being treated. This blood brings nutrients and carries away waste. This helps to promote healing and decreases swelling. It is used to provide deep heating to soft tissues in the body. These tissues include muscles, tendons, joints, and ligaments. Ultrasound in physical therapy is not to be confused with diagnostic ultrasound, which is an ultrasound that is used to see the inside of the body, such as checking on a fetus during pregnancy
- Adhesion formation
- Pain and muscle spasm
- Haematoma
- Capsulitis
- Joint stiffness

I having trouble with Dragon Speak Version 6 and think it could be the microphone but want to make sure before I start investing money to get this to work, it that is even possible.
I am working on a dell laptop 8600 that is less than a year old. My sound device is SigmaTel C-Major Audio, which I have no idea what that mean.
I have trained this software a lot, and if I sit really still and have the office very quiet it gets about ever third word. I have this VXI Parrott Translator headset that come with it that seems very cheap.
What I am trying to find out is if anyone else has actually gotten this software to work? If so, does anyone have any recommendation what I need to get to get this to right? I am thinking a new microphone but hate to put them money into it if this software probably will never work.
Any input would be much appreciated.

Presidents from Washington to Eisenhower feared threats to liberty from abuses of power by the military-industrial complex
The C.I.A. is a child predator
(Jul. 17, 2015)—U.S. law is clear. The mission of the Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.) is to collect and analyze information from foreign countries about potential risks to national security. There job is to pass that information along to U.S. government officials. See Senate Intelligence library.
The C.I.A. has no law enforcement or arrest authority, and can only investigate U.S. citizens suspected of terrorist activity in a foreign country. In short, their job is to gather information outside the U.S. By contrast, the FBI has law enforcement authority inside the U.S. and cannot operate outside the U.S.
C.I.A. has become a self-financing shadow state answering to Wall Street and Harvard hubris
However, the C.I.A.is managing, making and investing billions of dollars in the private financing of tech companies through its Silicon Valley venture capital company, In-Q-Tel, inside the U.S., protected by a dozen corrupt international law firms which need to be dismantled.
In-Q-Tel's Gilman Louie was appointed to the board of the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) in 2004 when James W. Breyer became NVCA chairman along with Fidelity's Robert Ketterson and Kleiner Perkins' Ted Schlein.
Breyer was and is managing director of Accel Partners LLP, Facebook's largest investor and an uber-Harvard alum. IBM-Eclipse launched EclipseCON 2004 on Feb. 2-5, 2004. Facebook launched on Feb. 4, 2004. You do the "coincidental" math.
This all happened just a few months after Leader Technologies completed debugging of key elements of its patented invention in Columbus. In 2010, Leader proved that Facebook infringes its patent on all counts, yet the courts protected Facebook, only to learn afterwards that all the judges in the case were invested to the gills in Facebook interests, even Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr.
WikiLeaked emails from Austin-based Stratfor confirm that the C.I.A. provided much if not all of the early financing of Facebook. See previous post.
The evidence is now clear that IBM's Eclipse Foundation, under the C.I.A.'s direction, spawned the "social" tech world, which rose like a Phoenix in 2004 from the ashes of its inadequate client-server technologies after the theft of Columbus-based Leader Technologies' invention of social networking technology.
Using simple geometric logic:
- Lawless means "not governed by or obedient to laws."
- The CIA has no legal authority to operate broadly inside the U.S.
- The CIA is operating broadly inside the U.S.
- The CIA is operating lawlessly.
The C.I.A. investments in Facebook, IBM, The Eclipse Foundation are clearly outside its charter since it operates these companies inside the United States.
C.I.A. is operating lawlessly
With no charter to operate within U.S. borders, the following facts become unmistakable:
- Facebook's creation was lawless.
- Barack Obama's meteoritic rise via Facebook intelligence was lawless.
- Barack Obama's lawless acts as President are founded on his reliance on a lawless C.I.A. intelligence machine.
- The Patent Office's Facebook page is lawless.
- America's children have been lured into using a lawless CIA-managed social platform to share with their friends. This is lawless and predatory.
- American "social" advertising profits are founded on a lawless premise.
- Silicon Valley's reliance on mobile is fueled by lawless Eclipse Foundation code (Eclipse IDE).
- Federal courts, including FISA, and attorneys who protect the C.I.A. are lawless.
- HealthCare.gov's reliance on the Eclipse IDE engine is lawless.
- Wall Street's reliance on the Eclipse IDE engine is lawless.
- The C.I.A./NSA's threats to tech companies for bulk metadata collection was lawless.
- . . .
by An AFI Contributing Writer exclusively for this post. 7/17/2015.
It was a real treat one day to have an esteemed university president, Malcolm Moos, address our undergraduate 20th Century American history class.
We were studying the Eisenhower Administration. As Ike was ending his second term as U.S. President in 1961, he asked his speech writer, Malcolm Moos, to focus on major new threats facing our country.
Moos told our class about his insights into what he named the "military-industrial complex." He had lists of retired military officers who had become senior businessmen in the private defense industry. To him, this posed a great threat of undue influence.
This observation was consistent with Ike's experience. One document in Moos' archives (rediscovered in 2010) features a typewritten note from the president lamenting that when he joined the military in 1911, there were 84,000 Army soldiers — a number that had ballooned roughly tenfold by 1960. "The direct result of this continued high level of defense expenditures has been to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions, where none had existed before..."
Ike warned us about the "military industrial complex" in his farewell speech on January 17, 1961. It also echoed of Presidents Washington (in his Farewell Address) and Jefferson (in his inauguration speech) about the threat of our country becoming involved in entangling alliances abroad.
Moos' threat is certainly even more of a concern today. With the insights we now have from Wikileaks and AFI, it is clear that this undue influence has mushroomed, and continues to pose a both a military major threat and a threat to our rights as citizens.
Revealing the details of these threats is one important step. The next steps in combating the abuses of power and putting into motion corrective actions are critical for the well-being every citizen of our republic.
On Jan. 17, 1961, President Dwight Eisenhower warned us to:
EISENHOWER, Jan. 17, 1961: "Guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes."
On Nov. 15, 2013, WikiLeaks released The Global Intelligence Files—over 5 million emails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The emails date between July 2004 and December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but is in reality an arm of the CIA.
The emails show Stratfor's convoluted web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods. See previoius post Facebook propped up by global money launderers.
Stratfor-CIA trades on insider information with banks, tech and media cronies
Stratfor's documents reveal their exploitation of government insider information to make money. Their former Goldman Sachs Managing Director, Shea Morenz, formed StratCap with other senior Stratfor executives using convoluted off-shore banks to make their trading appear independent.
Stratfor also did secret deals with dozens of media organizations and journalists, from Reuters to the Kiev Post, which they formally named their "Confederation Partners," but privately called them their "Confed Fuck House." Such relationships destroy all notions of a Free Press and are corrosive to a Republic where separation of powers is a core principle.
Stratfor-CIA is the KGB Department of Disinformation revisited
Leader Technologies' patent counsel. Took custody of Leader's source code, then just 11 weeks later, Leader's innovations appeared en masse in IBM Eclipse Foundation version 2.0.1 on Aug. 29, 2002, the day before he met with Montgomery County, Maryland officials promoting IBM, Eclipse, the CIA and the Patent Office. See previous posts.
During the Cold War, the KGB ran a highly successful "Department of Disinformation" operation in the USA led by Colonel Vasily R. Sitnikov.
Stratfor appears to be plagiarizing Sitnikov's book. Disinformation is the pollution of facts in an effort to steer the target toward desired outcomes. Sitnikov was highly successful at influencing the American media during the Vietnam War.
Today, the movie The Social Network is a good example of Stratfor-CIA disinformation. The evidence is now clear that Mark Zuckerberg did not invent social networking, Michael McKibben and Columbus, OH-based innovator Leader Technologies did.
However, to lure the general public into believing a Big Lie, euphamistically called "a different narrative" about Facebook's origins, the C.I.A. hired Hollywood to exploit the general public's ignorance of computer programming. They spun the yarn that Zuckerberg did it all by himself in less than two weeks. The mainstream media, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX played along too. The Stratfor revelations show us why the media supported the false Zuckerberg Harvard narrative—they were in on the deception. They wanted the Facebook IPO that they were promised as the quid pro quo for their cooperation.
George Soros' global security chief & Labor Secretary Tom Perez played along
The Stratfor 2007 subscriber mail lists (spreadsheet files attached to PDF) unearthed by WikiLeaks was prepared more than a year before the so-called 2008 banking crisis. That "crisis" now appears nothing more than a cleverly packaged and intentional C.I.A. smokescreen to confuse the unsuspecting and seize digital controls globally. Never mind that billions of human beings on the planet were damaged.
George Soros' security chief, Paul Genzburg, was more than a subscriber to Stratfor.
On Oct. 13, 2009, Genzburg wrote Stratfor's Fred Burton:
"Hey Fred [Burton], I've got a question for you. I'm gonna do some work for the John Pritzker family in SF. Could be mutually productive, if you catch my drift..."
On Oct. 30, 2009, Genzburg wrote Burton:
"I've mooched too much off you guys so please bill me."
On Jun. 26, 2013, Penny Pritzker was appointed Secretary of the U.S. Commerce Department by Barack Obama. Pritzker holds up to $23.4 million in Facebook Cartel stock holdings. See Fig. 8 and previous post.
C.I.A. "national security" protective blanket for cronies
With such corrupting relationships, and with the most powerful intelligence organization on the planet behind you to throw a national security blanket over your misconduct, is it any wonder why Washington cannot get anything done?
Notably, Perez worked for the county council in Montgomery County, Maryland at the time that Leader Technologies' patent attorney, Professor James P. Chandler, pitched the county on behalf of IBM, the CIA and Patent Office.
Just eleven weeks earlier, Chandler had taken custody of Leader's invention source code, ostensibly for escrow "safekeeping." However, magically, Leader's key innovations all appeared in the next version 2.0.1 of IBM's Eclipse Foundation source code—one day before Chandler met with Montgomery County officials. See previous post.
James and his father are busy pumping IDG-Accel CHINA at the expense of American inventors. Intellectual property theft is a way of life in China. (READ: They take American patent filings to China and just steal them.)
investing foreknowledge is fraud, not genius; C.I.A. can easily manipulate markets for the benefit of cronies
Both Soros and his hedge fund understudy and Facebook director, Peter Thiel, Clarium Capital, profited from the 2008 banking crisis.
The Stratfor disclosures show that Soros and Thiel use their CIA insider information to manipulate markets. Stating the obvious: it's easy to buy low and sell high when your Stratfor cronies are fabricating the news upon which you trade. Such foreknowledge is fraud, not genius. See Bloomberg, Jul. 31, 2008.
Cerberus—the Fast & Furious gun runner—another CIA operation gone wrong?
Cerberus is also a Stratfor subscriber. Cerberus is the company whose AR-15 rifles murdered U.S. Agent Brian Terry in Eric Holder's bungled Fast & Furious operation (still stonewalled by the Justice Department). JPMorgan is Cerberus' banker. See previous post.
The circle of wagons in these deceptions is tightening.
Bankers, academia & tech fed at the Stratfor-CIA disinformation trough
According to WikiLeaked Stratfor emails, bankers represent the largest Stratfor subscriber sector. UBS alone had 45 unique person-subscriptions (subscribers to multiple lists were only counted once), followed by Morgan Stanley 34, Citigroup 21, JPMorgan 20 and Smith Barney 15. Borrowing from Genzburg: "if you catch my drift..."
By comparison the US Army dominated the government sector with 101, followed by the Air Force with 22, Department of Justice 16 and Navy 14.
Academia is dominated by the University of Texas with 37 (Stratfor's backyard), followed by Harvard 26, then Yale 19.
Stratfor-CIA "lifetime" gift list includes numerous Soros cronies
One of Peter Thiel's closest business associates is his PayPal buddy, Joseph Lonsdale. In 2004 the pair started Palantir (at the same time as Facebook, LinkedIn, wikis, blogs, Instagram, etc. started—all right at the time of the first Eclipse Foundation EclipseCON-2004 conference on Feb. 2-5, 2004). See Hijack of the Cyber World Timeline.
Palantir supplies snooping technologies to the C.I.A. Because they are private, and because the C.I.A. operates in secret, Palantir is effectively an unaccountable American company, like many of the Stratfor subscribers.
The "disastrous rise of misplaced power" that President Eisenhower's feared is upon us.
Reversal of this corrosion is our only option if we wish to redeem our Republic.
"Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals; so that security and liberty may prosper together."

Psychotherapist and Author
Get a feel for my book
"Perfectly Imperfect"
Raw reflections on body image, mothering, love and loneliness.
Does this resonate with you?
You're managing to juggle all that's on your plate, but feel stuck on some very important aspects in your life.
You're resourceful and have already learnt a lot about yourself, but you'd really like to feel happier.
You are not usually the one who asks for help – you're the one who takes care of everyone around you!
You don't want to worry or burden your loved ones with some of the thoughts that are running through your mind.
You'd really like to be listened to without judgement, by a compassionate, neutral professional.
You want to create positive change in your life and need some psychological tools to help you.
You are ready to put yourself first and tend to your own emotional health so you can better tend to those you love.
If this is you, then you are certainly not alone and I invite you to share your story with me.
Ailsa bares all in her raw journal entries written whilst raising her babies, often alone, due to her husband's Fly In and Fly Out (FIFO) work commitments. She reflects on the golden and gut-wrenching moments of mothering and life, whilst contemplating how she feels about her ever-changing body.
If you hate dieting and yearn to like yourself more, feel stuck in your own unrealistic expectations, and spend more time caring for others than yourself; you are not alone.
Ailsa offers an alternative to striving to be the best version of yourself ‒ instead embrace your dodgy bits and give thanks.
Hi, I'm Ailsa
People come to me because they've noticed they are stuck in areas of their life:
In their self confidence
In their relationships
In their loss and grief
In emotional stress
and they would like to feel happier by making positive change in their life.
I work with people who are managing stressful moments in their life whilst their inner critic critiques how well they're doing, or NOT doing.
They share their stories with me whilst we walk alongside each other, outside in nature.
They learn more about what triggers them, and how to respond rather than react.
They also begin to accept that they are not the problem – rather, the problem is the problem.
We unpack how they would like their life to be and they begin making small, and helpful steps toward it.
I am honoured to be my clients professional 'person'. To witness their challenges and their wins.
I am a compassionate listener, with a warm sense of humour who enjoys making people feel comfortable and heard.
I am forever hopeful for my clients and I am an optimistic ally.

I admire Ailsa for sharing her deeply personal story with others. Her journey has resonated with me on so many levels and I know other readers will feel the same. It is raw, touching and inspiring.
I feel like I've made a new friend through reading this book.
Through sharing her innermost thoughts, pain and internal conflict, Ailsa will unsettle you and challenge you at times. And she will offer valuable insights, which no doubt will play a part in the reader's own transformation.
This book is a breath of fresh air as it is raw and REAL.
Ailsa Robson has a private counselling and psychotherapy practice in Adelaide and consults with clients in Stirling and Glenelg, SA as well as online. She has a Masters Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and is the author of Perfectly Imperfect.

I am looking for some advise or direction on the best way to go about the current situation I am in involving my step son and his mom.
My husband and I travel for 3 months at a time every summer for work (he does summer sales) We fly his son here twice during this time for 2 week increments. The times when he is not here with us we call every Sunday and Wed and always let him know that he can call anytime he wants. Every time we talk to him, he is so happy and excited to tell us about his week! He always wants to talk and never seams sad which makes it hard for me to believe the email his mom just sent us is true. She informed me that Dustin feels like we "hate him" and that is why we moved away and he is too scared to tell us, That he is mad at us for not involving him in our court wedding and will never forgive us(we did a small court signing ceremony and just signed the papers and left with no guests but we did have a huge reception which he was very much a big part of), That he doesn't want us to come to his birthday party to "get us back" for not having him at the court house. These are just some of the things she said. He is a 7 year old boy who loves us very much and I really feel like if he did say any of these things it's because his mom planted them into his head. I don't know how to respond to the email. Naturally I want to fire back and tell her I think she is brain washing him but I know I shouldn't. When we call, the phone has to be on speaker phone and you can hear our son talking to his mom first before he answers any of our questions. She always tells him what to say. When we asked him if we made him sad about the wedding his reply was "umm I don't know.. It's Hard to explain" When we asked him if he had bad feelings about us moving he said,"uh.. Yeah kinda" when we asked him why he said, " I don't know why" she monitors all the phone calls. It seams to me she is using him as a tool and it's breaking my heart. I don't know how to approach the situation or how to respond.

wow I'm sorry to hear about this
What a terrible situation to be put in, both for you as a couple and for your the young boy stuck in the middle. Obviously he is not really feeling this way if you experience his excitement, hear it in his voice, and then also hear his mother telling him what to say on the phone. A Very sad situation for everyone involved, especially for his mother who obviously requires the most help and assistance. She is obviously unstable.
The things the boy is saying are not things a 7 year old say - ie being ignored and forever hurt by a court signing even tho he was part of the reception which obviously was the only social aspect.
His mother is influencing his responses and actions, but as far as what is to be done - having a conversation with his mother would be first. I am not sure where the line of child abuse starts, but maybe consider that. This is abusive in regards to the child.

If our solar system was the size of a coffee cup, the Milky Way Galaxy would be the size of the North American Continent.
Since ancient times people have speculated about the nature of the hazy band of light that stretches around the entire sky. It is widest and brightest in the summer sky, especially in Sagittarius. There is a long twisty dark lane through Cygnus known as the Great Rift. In autumn the path winds north past Cassiopeia and Perseus, in winter past Orion, and in Spring it reaches down to the Southern Cross.
Our galaxy appears to be in the shape of a big pancake with a bulge in the middle. Our solar system is embedded inside the pancake about half way between the edge and the middle. When we try to look out along the edges we see the combined light of billions of stars. Most of those stars are too far away to pick out individually but together they add up to a milky haze.
Our galaxy is about 100,000 light years across. The central bulge is about 16,000 light years thick. The thinner region where our solar system resides is about 3000 light years thick. Our solar system orbits around the core once every 200 million years. The total number of stars in the Milky Way is probably several hundred billion.
The core of our galaxy lies in the direction of Sagittarius. We have detected that stars in that region are circling the center at very high speed. The simplest explanation for why those stars can travel so fast without flying completely out of the galaxy is that there is a supermassive black hole in the core. The mass of the black hole is estimated at 3 to 4 million times the mass of the Sun.
The disk and central bulge are only the obvious parts of the galaxy; the parts that glow in the dark. There is also a part that we can't see with our eyes but can be detected by other means, directly and indirectly. We can directly measure light outside the range of human eyes, such as infrared and ultraviolet. We can also deduce where mass exists by its gravitational effect on other objects. We have concluded that the visible disk of the galaxy is surrounded by a huge sphere of material we call the halo.
One of the very visible populations in the halo is the globular clusters. These are the oldest objects made out of stars in the Universe. The globulars formed long before the birth of galaxies. When the galaxies came along, the globulars were caught by the gravity and have been orbiting around them ever since. There are about 200 globular clusters orbiting in the halo of the Milky Way.
The globular clusters were one of the keys in the research that revealed the size and shape of the Milky Way galaxy. Another key is variable stars, which reveal their intrinsic brightness by the rate at which they vary. The astronomer who used the keys was Harlow Shapley. From his measurements of the distance to variable stars in globular clusters, Shapley could see that the clusters were not evenly distributed around our solar system, thus inferring that our Sun is not in the center of the galaxy. The globulars are distributed and orbiting around a central point 30,000 light years in the direction of Sagittarius, a point we now accept as the galactic core. At that time, (early 20th century), most astronomers still thought that the Milky Way was the whole of the Universe.

Missouri has paid a consulting firm more than $829,000 so far in federal coronavirus aid to help coordinate the state's pandemic response. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports payroll records show the McChrystal Group has received the federal funding from the state. The contract bypassed the normal bidding process.
During a press conference at Washington University in St. Louis, Gov. Mike Parson defended his decision to bring in the firm.
"In July, we had the discussion whether to allow that contract to expire or not," said Parson. "I didn't. I was the one personally in the meeting that day and says, 'Wait a minute – I don't want to do that. We've got school starting. We've got universities starting. We still need to be able to figure out how to deal with this virus.'"
Parson spokeswoman Kelli Jones told the newspaper that under the contract, the firm will be eligible to continue being paid nearly $250,000 a month for its work. The governor touted the firm building a statewide dashboard of hospital data.
"There's not been one tax dollar of the Missourians that have paid for that. It's all been through the CARES Act and it was all through the Health Care Foundation," said Parson. "I'm just proud of the resources they had at hand to help us to fight the virus every day and to consider that they pulled a dashboard for all the healthcare, hospitals in the state together where we could share information to the public, at the time was very valuable."
Parson's Democratic opponent for governor, State Auditor Nicole Galloway, said the McChrystal Group did the governor's job for him. In a press released, she said he paid the out-of-state firm over a half million dollars in taxpayer money meant to directly help Missourians impacted by the health crisis.
"All we have to show for it is rising infections, delayed school reopenings, a positivity rate over 10%, and a spot in the White House Coronavirus Task Force's "Red Zone," said Galloway.
Missouri has spent over $1.5 billion of the more than $2 billion it has received as part of federal COVID-19 funding. Most of the money has gone to Missouri counties to help local governments fight the virus.

How To Find the Best Buyer's Rep for Your Home Search
Buying a home is a big deal. You want an agent by your side who can provide everything you want and need. (And probably a few other things you don't yet realize you'll need!)
Too often, buyers get caught up in online house hunting and don't give enough attention to researching a buyer's agent to represent them in their search for the ideal home.
Even if your best friend says, "I loved our agent. You should use her!" it's still a good idea to do your homework. Fortunately, it's incredibly easy to collect extensive information on agents online.
STEP 1. Imagine your ideal agent.
What kind of agent is best for you? There are many different styles.
Some buyers want to work with a go-getter who quickly and efficiently pinpoints properties that meet their requirements.
Other buyers feel more comfortable with an agent who operates at a slower pace, willing to answer all their questions patiently.
Think about what you want in terms of an agent's knowledge, experience, skills, and personality.
Consider any other resources you may need. For example, if you're thinking about buying a fixer-upper, you may prefer an agent who has ample connections in the building trades. That way, you can expedite the process of collecting estimates from reputable contractors.
STEP 2. Identify qualified buyer's representatives in your area.
Now that you have an image of your ideal agent, it's time to start searching for agents who might match your needs.
Any licensed real estate professional can accept you as a buyer-client. But do you want to work with just anyone?
One of the best ways to begin narrowing your options is to look for agents who have earned the Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR®) designation. They have gone the extra mile to gain specialized knowledge and expertise in representing buyers in real estate transactions.
To find ABR® designees in your market, use the Find a Buyer's Rep online directory.
STEP 3. Visit each agent's website.
Once you've compiled a list of potential buyer's representatives, it's time to learn more about them. Start with their website. Some agents may have more than one.
Look for clues about how well they match up against your ideal criteria. Read their bio. Get a sense of how much business they're doing. If they have a blog, see what kind of information they're sharing.
It's also a good idea to look up their profile on realtor.com®, entering their name and location in the Find a REALTOR® directory.
Each agent's profile should include their current property listings, in addition to properties recently sold—and whether they represented the buyer or the seller.
Note that some Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) don't share property information with realtor.com®, which will limit your ability to see agents' current and recent activity.
STEP 4. Read reviews.
Agents' profiles on realtor.com® frequently include ratings, reviews, and recommendations. Also note any other designations the agent has earned from the National Association of REALTORS®, indicating additional areas of expertise.
Other common sources for agent reviews include Google, Yelp, Zillow, Facebook, and Angie's List.
Feedback from other clients is an excellent way to gain insights into an agent's skills—and how closely they match your ideal agent. Reading about other buyers' experiences may also help you discover significant factors that you hadn't considered.
STEP 5. Arrange an interview(s).
Narrow your list down to two or three agents who seem to be a good fit. Before reaching out to them, it's a good idea to prepare a few questions to ask over the phone.
You don't need to commit to working with the first agent you contact. Talking to more than one agent may help you feel more confident about working with the one you select.
Buyer's representatives understand that buyers have different preferences when searching for homes AND when selecting an agent. Their top priority is forming loyal relationships with their buyer-clients, so you can work as a team to find your ideal home!

Studio Talks: How Can Designers and Builders Work Together Towards a More Unified Vision of a Space?
In the traditional delivery process, designs are turned over to a third-party team when it comes to implementation. At Studio Eagle, we prefer a more integrated approach, where designers and builders can work together. At the end of the day, shouldn't design decisions made be design decisions implemented?
We went behind the build with our Senior Site Supervisor, Aaron High, and Site Laborer, Vincent Buzzi to learn a bit more about their process.
STUDIO EAGLE: How do you define a conventional construction model?
Aaron: In the conventional construction model, usually the construction team is totally out of the process until they step foot on the job site. The site supervisor usually has little say in what gets done, and the construction team will get handed the drawings and just complete what's on the paper.
This isn't the case with our model. The way we work involves our team calling out any concerns to ensure we build the best we can. And we'll speak to our designers every day – in the conventional construction model, this doesn't happen.
Vincent: Our process involves a lot more communication with the designers and the clients. Playing off what Aaron said, this definitely gives a better finished product and makes the client very happy to see the project come through as they envisioned it. It's nice to deliver a good, finished product to someone you find yourself working so closely with throughout the process.
STUDIO EAGLE: What role do you find construction plays in an integrated project delivery approach?
Aaron: If a wall doesn't work correctly, we'll work with the designer and client to make the situation better. We do a lot of video chats out here. With all the busy schedules, and everyone on the move, we find a lot of pictures and FaceTime calls give us that communication back and forth. At the end of the day our goal is for the design vision to come through. As a team we do our very best to make any impossible possible.
Vincent: Sometimes we find clients have a hard time visualizing the space. Having the opportunity to bring the client in and work with them not only helps them envision the space but allows us to deliver the project in a timely manner. We do what we can every day to bring the vision from paper to a real-world application.
STUDIO EAGLE: In what ways does collaboration go beyond the walls you build?
Vincent: We definitely collaborate with both the office aspect as well as other aspects. We work in a creative way through conversing and brainstorming together either with the designers or subcontractors to bring the vision to life.
Aaron: My biggest reward on these jobs is when the client walks in and you see the look on their face. That smile is really the reward for me. You just get a nice sense of accomplishment. There are so many people involved and collaborating in our process every day – and we get to see it evolve from start to finish in the months that pass.
Once the client moves into the space we find we are still involved as far as how the client lives in the space in the days and weeks that follow. We'll take that extra step to tweak the space to their likings and keep the communication open. We enjoy making sure that their space is 100% functional for them and putting the finishing touches on the project.

text: National U.S. border patrol questioned fishermen on Canadian waters By News Desk Posted on July 5, 2018 1 min read 0 0 710 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+ Share on Reddit Share on Pinterest Share on Linkedin Share on Tumblr Crew members of two Canadian fishing vessels were approached by the United States border patrol in Canadian waters in the Gulf of Maine in late June. "Canada continues to investigate these incidents that occurred in Canadian waters, including through engaging with U.S. agencies involved in the matter," John Babcock, a spokesman for Global Affairs Canada said on Wednesday. Babcock said the incidents occurred on June 24 and June 25 near Machias Seal Island. U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. embassy in Ottawa were not available for comment due to the Independence Day holiday in the United States. The CBC News reported the U.S. officials questioned the fishermen, who are members of the Grand Manan Fishermen's Association. The association's chair wrote on Facebook the U.S. agents claimed to be "looking for illegal immigrants." The association declined to comment on the matter. "Canada's sovereignty over the Machias Seal Island and the surrounding waters is long standing and has a strong foundation in international law," Babcock said.

Censorship or Common Sense?
In a statement issued Wednesday, Amazon said it "believes it is censorship not to sell certain books simply because we or others believe their message is objectionable."
Personally, I'm glad Amazon decided not to sell the book (despite what they've said about censorship). When businesses start protecting the rights of pedophiles under the guise of "free speech", I think they've gone too far. And it just seems somehow wrong that a site that caters (partially) to children, with its children's book and toy departments, would also be selling books with instructions on how to victimize those same kids.
What do you think? Does this fall under the category of censorship? Or is Amazon's decision not to sell this disgusting book just plain old common sense?
4 comments:
I feel very strongly about the whole thing. It is awful that such a book even exists. As a bookseller myself, the censorship angle does come into play. This goes beyond the pale and I am glad they pulled it.ReplyDelete
It's common sense not to sell a product that offends the majority of your customers. Removing it was a business decision, a form of self-censorship. The people spoke (or yelled) and amazon responded.ReplyDelete
The fact that that book even existed just creeped me out. I don't see how anyone could blame them for pulling the book.ReplyDelete
I'm not a huge fan of censorship, but it's not as though they pulled this book for strong words in dialogue! It's like...a guide...for pedophiles. That is highly disturbing to me, and I agree with Katie that this book should NOT exist. If it were, say a psychological profile of a pedophile, the situation would be completely different, but why would ANYONE condone helping a pedophile to be a pedophile?!ReplyDelete

Nelson Freire has long been seen as a connoisseur's pianist, but a series of superb recordings have raised his profile to the extent that he is now considered as one of today's universally recognised great musicians. Whether playing the great warhorses of the repertoire or the gentlest miniatures, he brings to his performances a level of quiet thoughtfulness that puts him in a class of his own.
Martha Argerich was born in Buenos Aires. From the age of five, she took piano lessons with Vicenzo Scaramuzza. In 1955 she went to Europe with her family, and received tuition from Friedrich Gulda in Vienna; her teachers also included Nikita Magaloff and Stefan Askenase. Following her first prizes in the piano competitions in Bolzano and Geneva in 1957, she embarked on an intensive programme of concerts.
Pablo Galdo is considered as one of the most renowned Spanish pianists and the most outstanding of his generation. Some of the world's greatest pianists and masters have been unanimous in highlighting his talent and musicianship. Hungarian pianist Tamás Vásáry, one of the most celebrated pianists of XX's century, said about him: "After listening to Pablo Galdo's recording, I immediately invited him to play with me a 4 hands recital.
Sergio Tiempo is among the most accomplished South American pianists of his generation. While he is less known in the United States of America, he has achieved considerable fame in Japan and most of Europe. His repertory is fairly broad but mostly in the Romantic and post-Romantic mainstream, with Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, Mussorgsky, and Ravel heavily represented.
Tamás Vásáry is well known as a virtuoso pianist in Soviet-dominated Hungary, but flourished internationally in the 1960s and '70s following his departure to the West. In the late '70s he turned to conducting and toured extensively in that role, especially in the USA.
