More Media Bias That Wasn't: First Lady's "Help From The Media" Comment Was About Her Kids' Privacy
Blog ››› ››› CHELSEA RUDMAN
Since the right-wing media never misses a chance to wail about "liberal bias" or pretend that the media are somehow in cahoots with the Obama administration, it's no surprise that the Drudge Report and Andrew Breitbart's Big Journalism both jumped on Michelle Obama's statement during a CNN interview that "we have help from the media" to invent more supposed bias.
Obama was actually thanking the media for respecting her children's privacy, not admitting to media bias, but shockingly, Drudge and Big Journalism didn't bother mentioning that.
In a link first posted on June 24, Drudge claimed:
Big Journalism posted a similar link:
The first lady is claiming she and the president get "help from the media!" State-run media! Liberal bias! Sound the alarm!
Drudge and Breitbart are probably hoping their readers don't actually click on their links,* however, because the RealClearPolitics.com video to which they link shows that Obama is thanking the media for respecting the privacy of her children, not for helping her husband.
Watch the video for yourself. It's crystal clear:
And here's CNN's transcript of the segment, which aired yesterday on CNN's The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer (emphasis added):
ROBYN CURNOW, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The long view, obviously, the bigger picture is what you're talking about. You're going on safari here. When you go back home, you're going to walk into also a pretty dangerous environment, a political presidential campaign, a new presidential campaign. How is the family ready for this? It's going to be quite vicious, isn't it? How do you prepare for that?
M. OBAMA: You know, it's -- we're -- we're ready. You know, our children, you know, could care less about what we're doing. We work hard to do that. And...
CURNOW: How do you do it?
M. OBAMA: Well, we -- fortunately we have help from the media. And I -- I have to say this, that I'm very grateful for the support and kindness that we've gotten, and people have respected their privacy. And in that way, I think, you know, no matter what people may feel about my husband's policies or what have you, they care about children. And that's been good -- good to see.
But when it comes to the campaign, you know, we're ready to work hard. We did it before, and we'll do it again. So we're rolling up our sleeves and getting on with it.
While right-wing media figures have stooped to attacking Obama's children, most people would agree that a president's minor children should remain off-limits, making this a totally non-controversial statement.
But leave it to right-wing pundits to spin Obama's statement as something sinister.
* UPDATE: Big Journalism actually did post the video directly on its site, under the headline, "Sound Bite For the Day: 'Fortunately We Have Help From the Media.' "

A college within the University of Arizona has gone public with its use of a new-generation IBM mainframe to analyze millions of medical claims every week. The College of Pharmacy, which has 475 students in its pharmacy-related degree programs, also runs a Medication Management Center, a call center staffed with pharmacists for improving medication use.
The center was launched with the introduction of Medicare's Part D drug coverage program to deliver a personalized service to optimize the health outcomes of individual patients. Patients can call the center to sort out therapy solutions and set up dosing schedules for new medications. The center also reviews medication records to identify unnecessary, duplicate, or dangerous combinations of therapies. Since its founding in 2006, a million Medicare patients have vetted their medicine usage decisions through the center.
To aid its physicians, the college developed a proprietary health information technology platform that analyzes millions of pharmacy claims with billions of data elements to identify potential drug-related problems.
Previously, the system ran on an Apple Mac OS-based network. In late 2012 the college moved the application to an IBM zEnterprise mainframe running IBM DB2 database software on Linux. According to a statement from the company, medical claim processing now takes up 60 percent less time and batch processing of records can take place during regular business hours without disruptions to operations. Adoption of the mainframe has also future-proofed the college, which expects membership in the medical management program to grow from 2.5 million people to more than 10 million in the near future.
"Among the number of reasons we chose the IBM's zEnterprise platform was its reliability and almost unlimited scalability," said Kevin Barber, associate director of the center. "zEnterprise allows us to focus on the applications and service we deliver to our patients and not on the constant maintenance of our hardware and software technology."
The college was helped in its system migration by IBM partner Sirius Computer Solutions.

This provides information about the January 2009 increase in Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. Family Community Resource Center (FCRC) staff are responsible for budgeting the increase for Cash and Food Stamp
clients specifically excluded from central budgeting.
The 5.8% increase will be received starting with the SSA and SSI checks received in January 2009. Clients receiving both SSA and SSI will receive a total increase of 5.8% for both benefits. In some cases, the amount of SSI may decrease due to
the amount of the SSA increase. The $30 SSI benefit for clients in long term care facilities will remain the same.

What to Consider Before Choosing a Nursing Specialty
What's your nursing specialty?
Jennifer LeClaire | Monster Contributing Writer
From emergency-room and operating-room nursing to pediatric and orthopedic nursing and beyond, there's no shortage of specialties for today's ambitious nurse.
Besides the traditional specialties – OB/GYN, nurse anesthetist and nurse practitioners – there are lesser-known subfields such as telephone-triage nursing, forensic nursing (the application of nursing science to public or legal proceedings) and correctional nursing (nursing in prison settings).
While health care settings across the nation continue to experience nursing shortages, nurses are in particularly high demand in some subfields, including critical care (where the American Organization of Nurse Executives reports a 20 percent vacancy rate), emergency room and telemetry. Since these areas typically require nurses with higher levels of training, skills and certification, there are fewer candidates who fit the bill.
How can you zero in on the nursing specialty that will fulfill your career goals?
Nursing and Stress
One factor is your definition of stress. Some nurses find it more stressful to work in an operating room, where they are almost always on call. Others may find it stressful to work in the recovery room, which requires honed technical skills. Still others may find it stressful to work one-on-one with physicians on a medical/surgical floor.
Where do you feel comfortable? Do you enjoy independence, or do you crave the camaraderie of fellow nurses and staff? "You have to compare your personality with the working environment," says Bill Morris, president of Beitler Staffing in Chicago. "People who can deal with high stress and juggling lots of balls in the air at the same time are well-suited to the emergency department. If you want a slower pace, then try a community hospital."
You should also think about what you most enjoyed during training. If you have an affinity for children, you may want to specialize in pediatrics or maternity. If serving senior citizens satisfies you, then geriatrics would be a logical choice.
Continuing Education
You also need to consider any special certifications and qualifications you need to enter into a particular subfield.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation certification may be enough on a medical/surgical floor, for example, but to advance to the emergency room, you will need Advanced Cardiac Life Support training. And if you want to work with cancer patients, then you may need special chemotherapy training from the Oncology Nursing Society.
"Are you willing to continue education and further your skills?" asks Kathy Murphy, clinical director for Nursefinders, a health care staffing service in Arlington, Texas. "If you are, then you may be a candidate for intensive-care units and oncology units."

(TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif.) — Authorities are investigating the possibility that a missing California woman — the wife of a Marine — was having an affair with her married neighbor and was pregnant with his child, according to a search warrant.
Erin Corwin, 20, has not been seen since June 28, vanishing from the city of Twentynine Palms without a trace. Investigators say her husband, Lance Cpl. Jonathan Corwin, reported her missing one day after she was last seen leaving for Joshua Tree National Park in southeastern California.
Her Toyota Corolla was found not far from the military base where her husband is stationed.
Authorities say the circumstances surrounding Corwin's disappearance are suspicious.
"At this point we're trying to investigate each and every person who has been an acquaintance with Erin," San Bernardino County Sheriff Randy Naquin said.
That includes Christopher Lee, a Marine rifleman who was recently honorably discharged. According to the search warrant, Lee initially denied knowing Corwin well, but investigators say Corwin's friend told them she might have been pregnant with Lee's child.
Additionally, Lee was worried that his wife would divorce him and keep him from his child with her if she found out about the affair and pregnancy, the friend said, according to the search warrant. It's unclear who and what the warrant targets.
Lee, 24, says he went hunting in the national park the same day Corwin told her husband she was going there, according to the search warrant. But Lee has said he denied seeing her that day.
Investigators are searching the park for clues.
"We're looking for a crime scene," Naquin said. "We're looking for something that is going to give us an indication that something has or has not happened to her."
Lee has not been named a person of interest or suspect. ABC News has been unable to reach him.
Police have not ruled out the possibility that Corwin may be voluntarily missing, but, at this point, her whereabouts remain a mystery.
"It is highly likely that Erin could have been harmed by an unknown firearm," police said in the search warrant.
Lee was arrested July 4 on an unrelated weapons charge for possessing a destructive device and is reportedly out on bail.
ABC News Chief Legal Affairs Anchor Dan Abrams said authorities will continue to focus on Lee, but need to definitively prove that a crime occurred.
"In a situation like this, where a woman who disappeared was possibly having an affair, you look first at two people: the husband and the boyfriend," Abrams said. "As of now, it doesn't seem the authorities are considering the husband as a person of interest."
"It's clear they now suspect very strongly there was foul play. And as time passes, it will become clearer and clearer that a crime was committed," he added.

Held on the weekend after the Canadian Labour Day, this festival has been a tremendous success. It draws many people to the Sussex Area and the motels, hotels and camp parks are filled quickly. Balloonists come from all over the world to fly our inviting skies and peaceful valleys.
The capital of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. There are offically ten provinces and three territories in Canada, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area.While politically and legally an independant nation, the titular head of state for Canada is still Queen Elizabeth.On the east end of Canada, you have Montreal as the bastion of activity. Montreal is famous for two things, VICE magazine and the Montreal Jazz Festival. One is the bible of hipster life (disposable, of course) and the other is a world-famous event that draws more than two million people every summer. Quebec is a French speaking province that has almost seceded from Canada on several occasions, by the way..When you think of Canada, you think of . . . snow, right?But not on the West Coast. In Vancouver, it rains. And you'll find more of the population speaking Mandarin than French (but also Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Farsi, German, and much more).Like the other big cities in Canada, Vancouver is vividly multicultural and Vancouverites are very, very serious about their coffee.Your standard Vancouverite can be found attired head-to-toe in Lululemon gear, mainlining Cafe Artigiano Americanos (spot the irony for ten points).But here's a Vancouver secret only the coolest kids know: the best sandwiches in the city aren't found downtown. Actually, they're hidden in Edgemont Village at the foot of Grouse Mountain on the North Shore."It's actually worth coming to Canada for these sandwiches alone." -- Michelle Superle, VancouverText by Steve Smith.

If at 19 years of age you are already part of your country's squad for the FIFA Futsal World Cup, a member of their U-23 national side and can even turn down a call-up to play in your national beach soccer team, clearly you are no ordinary individual. Coleman Kabini Makau of the Solomon Islands is one such case, as he revealed to FIFA.com in an exclusive interview.
"Football helps me present myself to the world," said the Lau Lagoon native. "While artists paint, mechanics fix cars and singers sing, I do my bit for society through my love of the game."
Breakthrough in 2010
Born in November 1992, Makau's career took a dramatic upturn after joining Makuru Football Club in Honoiara in 2005. He became a member of the national U-16 futsal squad just two years later, making his debut in the senior side in 2010, before receiving, and declining, an invitation to play for the Solomon Islands' beach soccer team in the same year.
"It was a difficult decision because it was a huge honour to be called up to both squads," said Makau. "I chose futsal because the players there are my age and I get on with them well off the pitch too."
Failure to qualify for the Men's Olympic Football Tournament London 2012 with the U-23s has given Makau the opportunity to concentrate fully on the FIFA Futsal World Cup Thailand 2012. And having successfully completed his school education, finding a job has been put on the back burner for the time being.
While artists paint, mechanics fix cars and singers sing, I do my bit for society through my love of the game.
"It will be my first World Cup and I'm going to do my best for my country," the youngster said of the competition, which will take place from 1 to 18 November in Bangkok and Nakhon Ratchasima. "I'm really looking forward to the experience I'll gain from it as well as learning from the best futsal players in the world."
It is the second successive tournament the Pacific Islanders have qualified for but they are keen to avoid a repeat of their fate at the FIFA Futsal World Cup Brazil 2008, when they returned home after the group phase following four defeats and 69 goals conceded.
"I agree with our captain Elliot Ragomo, who said that we may have taken part in 2008 but this time we're going to make more of an impact," said Makau. "We're a different team now, with a lot more experience. Aside from that, I hope that we'll be able to give people a better understanding of our beautiful country. In that sense, we'll be ambassadors for the Solomon Islands."
Springboard to a pro career
In order to achieve those aims, the team have been working hard under head coach Dickson Kadau and have benefitted from outside help. At the beginning of March, Venancio Lopez - coach of the Spanish side who finished as runners-up at Brazil 2008 - spent four days with the Kurukuru, offering tactical and technical advice.
"Of course they're not going [to Thailand] to become world champions, but they could still surprise a few people," Lopez said.
Should that be the case, Makau's next dream may edge closer to reality. "One day I really want to play at a professional futsal club in Spain or Thailand," said the youngster. His versatility is second to none, and with his rise to the top shows no sign of abating, this talented ambassador has every chance of achieving his aims.

The Tibetan Master's Work
Hierarchy, the planetary heart centre
The work of the Tibetan Master with Alice Bailey (and with H.P.Blavatsky before her) was the direct result of a reorganisation within the spiritual Hierarchy over the last one hundred years.
This reorganisation has been an essential part of a readjustment and new relationship between the various planetary kingdoms; in particular between Shamballa, Hierarchy and humanity, largely due to an unexpectedly ready response by humanity to a deliberately applied spiritual stimulation.
One of the major effects of the reorganisation process, paralleling the closer alignment between the three major planetary centres, has been a new form of integration and fusion between the major ashrams within the Hierarchy. While each ashram continues to focus and express a specific aspect of Plan and Purpose, according to the ray energy involved (one of the seven), the old lines of demarcation have disappeared, and the Hierarchy is beginning to function more realistically as "the great Ashram of Sanat Kumara with the Christ at its heart." This means, among other factors, more cooperation and coordination in ashramic functions and responsibilities and the possibility of interrelated work involving combined activities and shared action.
Towards the end of the nineteenth century the Master Djwhal Khul, head of one of the subsidiary ashrams within the major second ray ashram of the Master K.H., accepted responsibility for presenting a sequence of three new interpretations of the Ageless Wisdom teaching intended "to precede and condition the new age." He has undertaken this task, not as head of a second ray ashram, but as a representative of the entire Hierarchy, blended and fused into one spiritual organism--the planetary heart centre. D.K.'s present work and teaching is therefore hierarchical--in origin and scope.
He has also undertaken the task of training for discipleship many aspirants associated with the various ray ashrams, so relieving the Masters concerned from this necessary function and releasing them for other vitally important hierarchical activities during these years of preparation for the externalisation of the ashrams and the reappearance of the Christ.
Teaching planned by the Hierarchy
The first in the series of three interpretations of the Ageless Wisdom teachings planned by the Hierarchy and entrusted to the Tibetan Master, was given to the world through H.P. Blavatsky between the years 1875 and 1890--fifteen years. This D.K. called the "preparatory" phase of the
teaching. The second was given over a thirty year period through Alice Bailey--from 1919 to 1949. The third and final aspect in the series will be given early next century by D.K. through a prepared initiate for, as he puts it, "this series of bridging treatises between the material knowledge of man and the science of the initiates has still another phase to run."
He also states categorically that the task of those who accept and endeavour to use the teaching creatively must be, for the remainder of this century, "dedicated to rebuilding the shrine of man's living, to re constructing the form of humanity's life, to reconstituting the new civilisation upon the foundation of the old, and to the reorganisation of the structures of world thought and world politics, plus the redistribution of the world's resources in conformity to divine purpose. Then, and only then, will it be possible to carry the revelation further."
Within this sequence of teaching and "revelation" D.K. also predicted a form of "revelatory" teaching, emerging after 1975 on a world wide scale via radio--and no doubt on television. This obviously is a widespread and unfolding interpretation of the existing teachings with suggested ways of applying them to existing world and human problems--which is their purpose. And this work is already underway and gaining in strength and influence.
The Tibetan's work with Alice Bailey
Before the Tibetan actually started his work with Alice Bailey, he made careful plans for timing, sequence and intended effects. He planned the teaching in three distinct phases, to run in successive ten-year periods.
During the first decade, and as a result of the first books, he needed to find the nucleus of people through whom he could work. Alice Bailey established the Arcane School during this decade as her own service to her Master's ashram. D.K. was not responsible for the Arcane School and has never supervised or influenced the running of the School. But he did use it for service purposes when it had demonstrated its value in providing a body of workers trained to implement the Plan and prepare for the reappearance of the Christ.
During the second decade, and as the numbers of books increased and spread throughout the world, the range of contacts expanded and the Tibetan achieved his objective of publicly announcing the existence of the new group of world servers, a subjectively related world group, drawn from every race, nation, religion, culture and social level. During this decade also, and using the Arcane School, he anchored the service activities of Triangles and World Goodwill. Both of these are hierarchical activities with the objective of energising and relating the members of the new group of world servers, and "to establish the nucleus of a great synthesis."
In the final ten year period the series of books was completed, with a pronounced emphasis during the last five years on the fact of the reappearance of the Christ and the work of preparation for his reappearance [2]. This fact was publicised and announced, and the Christ was shown as he is, as world teacher, the head of the spiritual Hierarchy, and "the same great Identity in all the world religions."
Two major ideas
The Tibetan Master has stated that he was responsible to the Hierarchy for bringing two major ideas to the attention of humanity every where. These two are: 1) the announcement of the existence of the new group of world servers as an effective group of workers intermediate between humanity and the spiritual Hierarchy; and 2) the statement in connection with the reappearance of the Christ and the immediate work of preparation.
D.K. comments that "these constitute by far the most important aspects of the work which I have done in the service of the Hierarchy.
... All else is of secondary importance to those two statements of spiritual fact." In connection with the function of the new group of world servers, we are told that "all disciples and initiates are at this time members of that group, which is the focal point of the present effort being made by the Hierarchy." Through it spiritual energy from five of the ashrams is flowing:
a) the ashram of the Master K.H., particularly in regard to the work of education.
b) the ashram of the Master D.K., particularly in regard to aspirants for initiation.
c) the ashram of the Master R., particularly in regard to the reorganising and reconstruction of Europe from the economic point of view.
d) the ashram of the Master Morya, as he seeks to find, influence and direct activities in the political field throughout the planet.
e) the ashram of the Master Hilarion, as he supervises the discoveries (and their application) of the scientific movement in the world.
The "newer truths" in the Tibetan's teachings
The Tibetan gives us in some detail what he considers to be the "newer truths" for which he was responsible through the teachings. He lists them as follows:
1) The teaching on Shamballa, including:
- the nature of the will aspect;
- the underlying purposes of Sanat Kumara;
- the building of the antahkarana, the first step towards monadic consciousness and the Way of the Higher Evolution.
2) The teaching on the New Discipleship, including:
- the new attitude of the Masters to their disciples;
- information on the constitution of the Hierarchy, with its various ashrams, as the Ashram of Sanat Kumara. [3]
- the newer type of meditation emphasising visualisation and the use of the creative imagination, with its keynote of group fusion and of service.
3) The teaching on the Seven Rays, emphasising the psychological angle, because the new psychology is in the making. If esoteric teaching is eventually to be public in its presentation, it will be given out along the lines of psychology because esotericism concerns the consciousness aspect of man and God.
4) The teaching on the new astrology, which provides sufficient information to establish the coming astrology on a firm basis.
5) Information about the new group of world servers, including:
- recognition of the group as intermediate between Hierarchy and humanity.
- the nature of their work as it influences the human soul and, through the instrumentality of men and women of goodwill, determines the period in, which we live.
- the Triangles work which embodies the network of light and goodwill as a channel of communication between Hierarchy and humanity.
6) The attempt to form an exoteric branch of the inner Ashram. Instructions to this group are published in the two volumes of Discipleship in the New Age.
7) The teaching on the new world religion, emphasising the three major spiritual festivals at the time of the Aries, Taurus and Gemini full moon periods; and the nine lesser festivals. The full moon meditation work is thus of first importance. It establishes a relation between the work of the Christ and the Buddha, leading to a broadening of human aspiration.
The Tibetan has asked "for a careful study of these words" which indicate the lines along which the work should expand in future years.
He considers this an important instruction as "the skeleton outline of the work I wish to see done." (The instruction can be found in The Rays and the Initiations, pp. 251/5.)
In listing these points of major importance in the teaching, the Master D.K. has again demonstrated his hierarchical mission in accepting responsibility for this work. D.K.'s own second ray ashram is responsible for other aspects of the unfolding Plan and the impression of human consciousness. He will be one of those members of the Hierarchy who will "externalise" and take up specific work in physical form. He tells us that his own main interest will be in healing and in various aspects of etheric development; yet these ashramic concerns are not included in his evaluation of the "newer truths" in his work with Alice A. Bailey.
The seven-fold Purpose of Sanat Kumara
In the new teaching on Shamballa D.K. has indicated "the underlying purposes of Sanat Kumara." He has given this seven-fold purpose [4] in some detail in pp. 240/7 of The Rays and the Initiations. These seven aspects of divine purpose embody the seven ray energies which will "re-organise and redefine the hierarchical undertakings and thus inaugurate the new age."
The first of these seven purposes is "the unknown, unseen and unheard purpose of Sanat Kumara. It is the secret of life itself...known only to Him....It is that which veils the central mystery which all esoteric schools--if true to their inaugurating impulse--will eventually reveal." In Rule XIII for Disciples and Initiates (page 260 of the same book) we are given a hint only of what that hidden, mysterious purpose may be. "It concerns the purpose and the reason for which our planetary Logos took incarnation and became the informing Life of our planet, the Earth," a non-sacred planet. The process of transformation, transmutation and transfiguration of planet Earth can be summed up in the one word--redemption. It is therefore planetary redemption in which esoteric servers are involved, in conscious cooperation with divine Purpose. This ties in with the emphasis in all true esoteric schools, now and in the future, on the life aspect, on the divine will and on the development of a new yoga--the yoga of synthesis, the "fiery yoga."
Training for discipleship
A major point of emphasis throughout the Tibetan's books concerns what he calls "the new discipleship." This is due not only to the changing influences of the dawning Aquarian age, but is the result of a new planetary alignment between Shamballa, Hierarchy and humanity; to the reorganisation within Hierarchy itself whereby a closer relationship and communication has been established by Hierarchy with both Shamballa and humanity; and also, to the unexpected growth and expansion in human consciousness in response to spiritual stimulation. "The tide of spiritual life," he says, "is today so strong and striving that the next one hundred and fifty years will demonstrate the factual nature of the Kingdom of Souls or of God. This will produce fundamental changes also in the immediate objectives before human progress and in the Masters' plans, in the teaching given and in the training presented." He then goes on to enumerate the new age objectives which are now presented to disciples in training for initiation. These are given in Volume II of Discipleship in, the New Age, pp. 296/301, and repay careful study--they are briefly listed here:
1) A sense of planetary relationships. This lifts the attention of the disciple from himself and expands his consciousness toward synthesis, wholeness, totality.
2) A sense of intelligent supervision. This means an unfolding recognition of "a focussed control upon daily life, circumstance, the future and fate." It gives a disciple "initiate insight into purpose and its unfolding plan."
3) The sense of orientation to humanity. This involves the "habit of correct orientation" towards humanity as the field of service. It requires decentralisation and a new type of sensitivity to world need. [5]
4) The sense of registered impression. This concerns the Science of Impression which will eventually be "the major objective of the educational systems" of the new age. The Hierarchy considers that humanity is now adequately intelligent to be trained in right interpretation.
5) The evocation. of the will. This is a new and most necessary development. The will is that "divine aspect in man that puts him en rapport with, and then controlled by, divine purpose, intelligently understood in time and space and implemented by the soul as the expression of loving application." The cultivation of this first ray perception is "a potent mode by which the highest aspects of the spiritual will can be unfolded."
6) The sense of that which is imminent. The true disciple is concerned with that which is spiritually imminent. This includes a right sense of timing. The disciple "must awaken to that which is on the very verge of precipitation into human thinking and life circumstances," so that he can take the occult and spiritual steps needed for revelation, "karmic usefulness," and active cooperation.
These are the new training developments possible now for those who are rightly focussed and oriented. Of these six objectives, nos. 1, 3 and 5 relate to necessary work within the substance of the three worlds of human evolution (mental, emotional, and physical), of the sub-human kingdoms in nature and of the planetary whole in response to realisation of the Plan and recognition of the Purpose. Nos. 2, 4 and 6 concern the registration in consciousness of the subtle worlds of meaning and significance and the occult means of subjective communication between states of consciousness.
They require the disciple in training to work with such one-pointed attention and ashramic stability that awareness of the Master and the ashram does not assume a prominence which can distort a vision of the Plan and disturb the rhythm of the ashram.
The sense of planetary relationship supersedes, for the disciple, the sense of right human relationships, since he is no longer liable to error or neglect in his relation with his fellowmen. This then leads to an awareness of the extra-planetary relationships which exist, and to the activity of the Deva evolutions in relationship with the spiritual Hierarchy.
The Mystery Schools of the future
The Tibetan Master states that at the end of this century, or soon after, the new Mystery Schools of the future will come into existence.
These will be established by experienced, senior initiates from the ashram as the externalisation of the Hierarchy actually gains momentum.
The Schools will be established in two groups--preparatory and advanced, for applicants and for initiates. D.K. informs us that the Fourteen Rules for Applicants (given in the book Initiation Human and Solar) and the Fourteen Rules for Disciples and Initiates (given in the [6] book The Rays and the Initiations, the fifth and final volume of A Treatise on the Seven Rays) will form the foundational teaching for these two grades of Schools.
The Science of Meditation and the conscious building of the antahkarana will be the first two preliminary stages in the esoteric curriculum of all true esoteric Schools. This develops the sense of wholeness, of synthesis which is occult vision, and a necessary faculty for those trained in the new Schools who will be "the builders of the new world and the trainers of future public opinion." This is the purpose of esoteric teaching--correct interpretation and full application to the reconstruction of the world along new age lines.
Work to be done
The Tibetan Master has specifically outlined what he would like to have done, now and in the immediate future: "The work that must be done is as follows,... you have been trained to do it and the responsibility is yours, as will be my unfailing help.
1. Prepare men for the reappearance of the Christ. This is your first and greatest duty. The most important part of that work is teaching men--on a large scale--to use the Invocation so that it becomes a world prayer and focuses the invocative demand of humanity.
2. Enlarge the work of Triangles so that, subjectively and etherically, light and goodwill may envelop the earth.
3. Promote ceaselessly the work of World Goodwill, so that every nation may have its group of men and women dedicated to the establishing of right human relations. You have the nucleus, and expansion must be undertaken. You have the principle of goodwill present throughout the world; the task will be heavy indeed but far from impossible.
4. Undertake the constant distribution of my books, which contain much of the teaching for the New Age. In the last analysis, the books are your working tools and the instruments whereby you will train your workers. See that they are kept in steady circulation.
5. Endeavour to make the Wesak Festival a universal festival and known to be of value to all men of all faiths. It is the festival in which the two divine Leaders, of the East and of the West, collaborate together and work in the closest spiritual union; the Christ and the Buddha use this festival each year as the point of inspiration for the coming year's work. See that you do likewise. The spiritual energies are then uniquely available.
6. Discover the members of the new group of world servers, whenever possible, and strengthen their hands. Look for them in every nation and expressing many lines of thought and points of view. Remember always that in doctrine and dogma, and in techniques and methods, they may differ widely from you, but in love of their fellowmen, in practical goodwill [7]and in devotion to the establishing of right human relations they stand with you. They are your equals and can probably teach you much...
"May the blessing of the One Whom we all serve rest upon you all and upon all disciples everywhere, and may you do your full share in helping men to pass from darkness into light and from death to immortality."
(The Externalisation of the Hierarchy, pp. 641/2)

If the architectural styles found throughout Chestnut Hill, Germantown and Mt. Airy are the type that inspire your dream home, the gardens procured by local botany enthusiasts featured in this year's Annual Hidden Gardens Tour might make you want to stay for a while and daydream.
This year, participants can visit 13 homes — two in Chestnut Hill, three in Germantown and eight in Mt. Airy — never before featured on the almost 20-year-old tour, presented by the Mt. Airy Learning Tree (MALT), Saturday, June 4, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Interested individuals can pick up their maps at MALT that morning (6601 Greene St.) and take the self-guided tour at their own pace. Some properties will have refreshments and learning resources. A bring-one-get-one plant exchange is also part of the event.
Organized by local garden hobbyist and artist Eric Sternfels, who has won the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society City Gardens Competition First Prize for Large Flower Garden, the tour provides residents with glimpses into local gardens that could serve as subject material for paintings of perennials, azaleas and wandering walkways among gazebos that you could hang in your dining room.
A row of homes on McCallum Street boasts Japanese, Ostrich and Maidenhair Ferns, Liriope and Christmas Rose. The gardens themselves, often fitted with obscurely placed sculptures and other pieces of art, are as inviting as the names of the shrubs planted throughout them are sonorous.
One West Mt. Airy home on the tour was built in the 1950s by a colleague of renowned modern architect Louis Kahn. Its garden pond features Koi fish colored by incandescence and bursts of oranges and strawberry red. The almost 5,000-gallon sustainable pond utilizes an upper bog area and an underground stone vault that biologically filters the water without the use of mechanical skimmers.
For every ornate or modern style home in Chestnut Hill, imagine a garden just as thought-out and well-designed. Sternfels selected the sites by scouring the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's (PHS) City Gardens Contest winners, leaning on his local gardening network and the old-fashioned method of revisiting a garden you like, with the hope you may run into someone.
"It's really astonishing the amount of knowledge you'll find is available if you get involved in this little local garden community," said Sternfels as he took us around for a sneak peek at a few of the properties last Saturday afternoon. "It's amazing how much these spaces fill in between May 1 and June 4. When you're a gardener, you're always just missing something. Something's always just coming into season or just going."
It's also mildly astonishing how quickly one can create an award-winning garden. The homeowners at an East Mt. Airy home featured on the tour began developing their garden when they purchased their turn-of-the-20th-century-carriage home three years ago.
When the couple purchased the home, the garden included a fountain, walkway, gazebo and patio, but it was the family's Rhododendrons and Hydrangeas that brought home second-place in last year's PHS City Gardens Contest in the individual combination garden/large category. But that distinction came only "after years of daily deep digging to eradicate grout weed," said the homeowner.
Aside from the aesthetic qualities of the gardens, the thing that makes this tour special is the passion evident in the gardeners and the friendship and reciprocity emanating between them and Sternfels. It's clear there is a garden community in the Northwest.
For Sternfels, 52, gardening is healing medicine. Trained as an architect at the University of Pennsylvania, when his wife died 15 months after the couple was married in 2000, he re-submerged himself in the hobby that had taken up so many of his hours in junior high, when other kids were playing sports.
At first, gardening was a sort of escapism from the world to a solitary place of beauty in the form of flowers being reborn every spring and blooming with enough colors to paint the sunset. A few years later, Sternfels became involved with the Friends of Ned Wolf Park, a group of neighbors dedicated to maintaining and improving the city park at the corner of McCallum and West Ellet Streets in West Mt. Airy.
"I got connected with the neighborhood park, and through garden connections I started meeting people. It went from this solitary phenomenon to something more community oriented."
Sternfels also runs Pourtensious Gallery, a studio in Manayunk where he makes quirky light fixtures with coffeehouse-esque motifs. "Botanical language is like any other language," he said. "If you're not visiting the country and talking the language, it's hard to learn. There's a contagion about gardening. You know, maybe if you fix up yours a little bit, and the neighbors see it, they say, 'I'm going to do my own garden.'"
One way to build your garden is through local plant exchanges. Flowers and plants develop a lot of root mass underground. If you divide the mass into chunks, those chunks can reproduce, Sternfels said. You can give a piece of your garden to a neighbor, and vice-versa. "It's intriguing how sharing your garden with others has this kind of positive impact. It's kind of like this karmic thing…And I notice, people don't really leave a garden without saying, 'Thanks.'"
The Annual Hidden Gardens Tour, Saturday, June 4, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., meets at the MALT office, 6601 Greene St. (at Hortter), 215-843-6333, www.mtairylearningtree.org. For more information about local plant exchanges, visit www.phillygardenswap.org.

In every issue of the mag this volume you'll find an out-of-context quote. We're calling it Quote This and the first one comes from Mr. Justin Meyer. He spent last winter filming the Videograss movie. From what he tells us it was a long strange trip. There were lots of antics, some international travel and, most importantly some heavy snowboarding. Here's the Q&A with J boy.
That's Justin Meyer.
Hey, you gotta minute to do a quick interview about Videograss?
Yes sir.
Cool, so I guess first off, what's the name all about, what's it mean?
The name is just random I guess.
Who came up with it? Can't be totally random, has to have some meaning right?
Nima came up with it one night when he was high on chocolate when he eats chocolate it makes him high no joke
So how would you interpret the name, what kinda meaning do you think it has, or took on during the season?
Oh man I donno, I haven't though of interpreting the name. I guess one could say our crew is like grass?
How so?
Growing all over the place. You gotta take care of the lawn ya know. Keep that shit fresh and green. I donno…(laughs).
No, that's good. Green like a Cyprus Hill concert or what?
Not that kind of green. Well… maybe some of the crew
B Shaw
So who on the crew did really good? Who are the stand outs, rattle 'em off?
Everyone did really well this year. Louie, Larry, Darrell, Ben, Nick, Alex, Biittner, Jake OE, Jonas…everyone did pretty well. They all have such unique personalities ya know. And everyone came through.
Let's hear the craziest story from the winter? What's something weird that happened?
Um…let's see…we were posted up in Canada for about 3 weeks in a shitty hotel room. We took the beds apart to have 3, like top mattress in the middle style. First night there Nick Dirks got super drunk and I woke up next to him kneeling down pissing on his pillow and blankets and Jake Olson-Elm. I tried to tell him he was pissing but gave up and he flopped face first back into bed. Best part was, in the morning Jake woke up and thought he was wet from sweating. (laughs)
That's awesome. Where'd you film this winter?
Quebec, Calgary, Toronto, Japan, Utah, Whistler, Michigan, Minnesota, California.
Where'd you get the most footy?
Probably in Canada.
Did you guys find any new spots there?
Yeah for sure. We hit mostly new spots. Although we hit some old ones too that people would say are "played out."
Did any new tricks go done, anybody invent some shit?
Let's just say Louie (Louif Paradis) didn't let anyone down as far as new tricks goes.
Oh yeah…anyone else come up?
Well… not everyone is on Louie's level. Inventing a new trick these days is pretty intense.
That's the truth…so is it more or less a "streets video" or what?
Not as much as everyone would think with the crew we got. We got at some pow.
Really? So we can expect to see some jumping?
For sure. We sure aren't going for double corks and all that, but some good stylish jumping indeed.
Nick Dirks.
Good to hear…how was it making a movie, directing, editing, managing it all? Was it easier or harder than you'd imagined?
It was super mellow, although our whole approach was mellow. We weren't stressing at any point that's for sure. A lot easier than I had imagined it would be. Maybe because I never bought a snowmobile (laughs). I wasn't too hyped on the idea of motocrossing all over the mountains, and glad I didn't.
Yeah, you probably saved yourself a lot of trouble. What's gonna make this video different from others?
I think the crew is the first major difference. Every video out there is loaded with people that are in just because of sponsor dollars. More than half our crew didn't have one sponsor come through with money. We got the most interesting crew we could, regardless of money.
Cool, and are you stoked with what you got, stoked with how the video turned out?
I'm really excited. Just going through all the footage gets me hyped to wanna snowboard. There isn't anybody's part I don't look forward to. I think kids will be able to relate to the video and crew a lot more then they have in other videos.

zh-CN:ClamAV Clam AntiVirus is an open source (GPL) anti-virus toolkit for UNIX. It provides a number of utilities including a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a command line scanner and advanced tool for automatic database updates. Because ClamAV's main use is on file/mail servers for Windows desktops it primarily detects Windows viruses and malware.
ClamAV can be installed with package clamav, available in the Official Repositories.
Whether you are going to use clamav as a daemon or use it as a simple file checker you need to comment out the line that contains the word Example, usually it is found at the beginning of
/etc/clamav/freshclam.conf and
/etc/clamav/clamd.conf files.
Starting the daemon
To start the daemon:
# systemctl start clamd
To start it automatically at boot:
# systemctl enable clamd
Also in
/etc/conf.d/clamav change the start options from "no" to "yes".
# change these to "yes" to start START_FRESHCLAM="yes" START_CLAMD="yes"
Updating database
Edit the below file and comment out the line saying "Example"
# Comment or remove the line below. # Example
Update the virus definitions with:
# freshclam
The database files are saved in:
/var/lib/clamav/daily.cvd /var/lib/clamav/main.cvd
Scan for Viruses
clamscan can be used to scan certain files, home directory, or an entire system:
$ clamscan myfile $ clamscan -r -i /home $ clamscan -r -i --exclude-dir=^/sys\|^/proc\|^/dev /
If you would like
clamscan to remove the infected file use the
--remove option in the command.
If you get the following messages after running freshclam:
WARNING: Clamd was NOT notified: Cannot connect to clamd through /var/lib/clamav/clamd.sock connect(): No such file or directory
Add a sock file for clamav:
# touch /var/lib/clamav/clamd.sock # chown clamav:clamav /var/lib/clamav/clamd.sock
Then, edit
/etc/clamav/clamd.conf – uncomment this line:
LocalSocket /var/lib/clamav/clamd.sock
Save the file and restart the daemon
systemctl restart clamd
If you get the next error when starting the daemon:
LibClamAV Error: cli_loaddb(): No supported database files found in /var/lib/clamav ERROR: Not supported data format
Run freshclam as root:
# freshclam -v
If you get a:
# can't create temporary directory
error, along with a 'HINT' containing a UID and a GID number.
Do the following:
# chown UID:GID /var/lib/clamav & chmod 755 /var/lib/clamav
# ex: chown 64:64

Leopold Mozart, the father and first music teacher of Wolfgang Amadeus and the man who discovered his son's musical genius, was born in Augsburg in 1719 inside what is now the Mozart House. Numerous buildings, monuments and memorial plaques in Augsburg recall the Mozarts, a family of architects, sculptors and bookbinders. The Mozart House, which was given a new look in 2006, has an exhibition of paintings, engravings and drawings relating to the Mozart family, as well as original period instruments such as an Andreas Stein fortepiano played by Leopold and Wolfgang Amadeus.

Aleister Crowley
Posted 11 November 2005 - 06:13 PM
Most people that read Tarot read a Waite Deck and use a Celtic Cross spread or a three card spread based on my experience. While I am certain that there are exceptions , I use the Golden Dawn spread as do most readers of the Crowley Deck.
It is my contention that Mr Crowley while he admittedly refered to himself as evil , was a genius and had an understanding of devination that was decades before its time. It is also my contention that he was crazy like a fox. His intelligence and understanding of majik drove him to ecentric behavior that was quite socially unacceptable for the time period.
If Mr Crowley were around today , he would he the weird guy on the bus in the afternoon , not an evil madman.
Thats my 2 cents,
P.S. Iam willing to discuss specific details about Crowley and his life , but being general about his life is like looking at his life through a dirty piece of glass..It does him no justice. The whole story is necessary in his case.

He also had some far reaching effects on the people in his life. Didn't one of his wives end up going mad? I'll have to look into that, but for some reason that's in my memory.....

What's most fascinating to me is that they both succeded, even years after their Deaths (especially Crowley) in making themselve legends. They are immortal. But without Crowley, there would be no Anton Lavey.

"There are some things money can't buy...A good imagination is one of them
Posted 13 November 2005 - 09:56 PM
I saw a tv show about this guy not too long ago. I can't remember what the show was, but some journalist was investigating this. He was roaming around the area where Crowley was from, and came across this couple who were Crowley followers, or worshipers. They were willing to speak on camera about it, and they even showed the journalist a video they made of themselves performing some sort of ritual at the place where Crowley used to "worship". They told the journalist where the place was, since it was a secret to most people. He went there, and if I recall correctly, he found the guy who owns the land or something, and he showed the journalist the building. It was a small "house", that had been all boarded up. But, it had been broken into repeatedly by Crowley followers, including the earlier couple. The guy let the journalist look around inside, and it was all a MESS from the years of neglect. But all over the place there was evidence that people had been performing different rituals there; wine bottles, candles, symbols on the walls. It was quite an interesting show! But he was defintely portrayed as an evil, satanic man! I had never heard of him before, or since, so it's interesting to see what other information people are putting on here about him!
This was an episode of Scariest Places on Earth so of course they're going to exaggerate the "evil" aspect of Crowley. I honestly doubt that house was even his.

Cool! Jimmy Page and Pete Townsend both were huge influences on why I picked up the guitar in 1970 and have been playing ever since. I love working with pages guitar voicings, riffs, and leads. Studying his style of playing has been an obsession of mine. Basically, I play mostly my own compositions, but these guys have been a huge influence. It has taken me thirty years to achieve an electric guitar sound and body of musical material of my own. I know from first-hand experience these guys worked for it. There was no instant success or soul selling to the devil. Like Crowley, who I agree was misunderstood, Page seemed to deal with the rumour mill of satanic accusations by simply letting people think what they wanted while he continued to put on a show. The tragedies that plagued the band affect people of all walks of life at one time or another, and sometimes come in waves. These things are a part of life and have nothing to do with being cursed. Being an admirer of Pages talent, I was also drawn to his influences. Page and Crowley also have/had human flaws. Don't we all. I agree with the words of another famous person who was crucified for challenging the conventions of his day, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".
You know. people are so pathetic. The minute someone is secretive, it's immediately thought that they have something to hide and everyone wants to know what it is.
When someone achieves fame, fortune and celebrity, it's because they've sold their soul to the devil. Not because they have worked hard for it or because they have earned the right to have these things.
Whenever someone deviates from the norm, they are immediately branded "satanic" and "evil" when all they are is different. People cannot stand the fact that someone might know more than they do or that they can enjoy different things.
Boris, I'm glad to meet a Zeppeliner. I am in awe of Jimmy Page. What that man can do with a guitar, well, I can see how some people think he might have Satanic help. He's amazing.

Good point. I think we may be dealing with semantics when it comes to use of terms like "cult" and "occult". If one defines a "cult" as a mystical or religious order that is outside the perview of mainstream religions, then the Order of the Golden Dawn would definitely qualify, as would any "occult" organization. The term "cult" does carry negative connotations with many people only because their particular religion discourages association with outside belief systems. A friend of mine once told me that the difference between a religion and a cult is that one allows for more tax deductions.
Crowley eventually started billing himself as the most evil man in the world. And, for the record, the Order of the Golden Dawn is NOT a cult, but rather an occult society that focused on the Western Estoric. Much ritual that can be found today in terms of modern occult practices can find it's roots in the Golden Dawn, and they are very much active today. Some of the greatest names of the late 19th century were members of the Golden Dawn. It's very easy to find information about the Order, not particularly secretive.
Crowley had a very large ego, was a drug addict, but a brilliant mind. A lot of stuff that is still whispered about him was actually started by him. He had a falling out with the Golden Dawn during a period of leadership struggles, in addition to his growing drug problem, and he left the Order to do his own thing.

In many ways, he approached the paranormal from a very scientific standpoint, and warned against attributing too much reality to anything one encountered while on the "astral plane". While there are other ways to interpret his writings, I see a lot of what he did as more psychology than anything mystical. If I'm not mistaken, the motto of the journal he published was "the method of science, the aim of religion".
Crowley's most famous saying, "do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law", is usually misinterpreted as meaning "do whatever the heck you want." For Crowley, the word "will" meant something more akin to fate or destiny. So what he was saying was more like "do what it is you were meant to do."
Aside from the mountain climbing adventures and occult activities already mentioned, Crowely was also involved with either the British secret service, the German secret service, or both during WWII, depending on what you believe. Truly a fascinating character the likes of which we really don't see any more.
I'd recommend 'The Legacy of the Beast' by Gerald Suster as a good entry point for anyone wanting to know more. It's a pretty good bio on the man that isn't too long, but still has most of the pertinent details. Robert Anton Wilson has also written quite a bit about Crowley, notably in his nonfiction 'Cosmic Trigger' series, and in his ficitonal 'Masks of the Illuminatti' in which Crowley is a main character.
As for Anton Lavey, yes he was a carnival barker at one point in his life. His 'Satanic Bible' is more or less a mix of Crowley, Nietsche (probably mispelled, sorry), and showmanship. It's also an interesting read, and I highly recommend it for anyone who thinks they know what "Satanism" is about.

Crowley's most famous saying, "do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law", is usually misinterpreted as meaning "do whatever the heck you want." For Crowley, the word "will" meant something more akin to fate or destiny. So what he was saying was more like "do what it is you were meant to do."
Actually its a bit more involved than that. "Will" actually refers to the "higher self", not fate or destiny. One of the principles in the golden dawn (and in various western esoteric practices) is that there is a higher self or "guardian angel" that you are connected to, and that's where this quote stems from. Without going in to too much detail, the goal in some of the rituals performed is to unite your self with your "higher self" elevating your "consciousness" (since your connection to this other "plane" is considered through subconsciousness - and yes, I know much of modern psychology no longer believes in a subconscious) and ultimately traveling further along the "tree of life", a qabalistic concept. Many of the rituals and practices are designed to create certain psychological states because of this. This is also why there is a big crossover between much of this type of occult practice and psychoanlysis. In fact, some of the biggest names in psychology (Freud, Jung) were actually involved in western esoteric practices as well.
Satanism is interesting, especially when people try use it for Crowley and promote him as being a "devil worshiper". Qaballah and ultimately Golden Dawn practice do not believe in such a thing, so such claims against him seem really foolish. Sure, there are "demons" and other negative entities, but the view is that they are all part of the whole - both good and bad are both creations of the "great spirit". Neither could exist without the other. In fact Satan is actually a hebrew word, which describes the opposing force created by "the great spirit" to test creation. Without that opposing force, there would be no free will - there would be nothing to choose against. Hence for example, the Devil card in the tarot actually is a symbol representing self-control and restraint in decision and action. Not to act on pure emotion (animal instinct, the lower self).
As for Anton Lavey, yes he was a carnival barker at one point in his life. His 'Satanic Bible' is more or less a mix of Crowley, Nietsche (probably mispelled, sorry), and showmanship. It's also an interesting read, and I highly recommend it for anyone who thinks they know what "Satanism" is about.
The idea of a "devil" is a creation of later Catholic Christians (the concept didn't exist in the early days of Christianity) as a morphing/reinterpetation/warping of Qaballistic and Gnostic practices. Interesitngly, "hell" also stems from a reworking of Gnostic and Qaballistic practices. It comes from the greek concept of Gehenna, which traces to the hebrew Gai-Ben-Hinnom - a garbage pit of sorts that existed outside Jerusalem where cremation of "undesireables" and burning of garbage in general was done.
This was an episode of Scariest Places on Earth so of course they're going to exaggerate the "evil" aspect of Crowley. I honestly doubt that house was even his.
There was another show like that where they were investigating haunting problems at a location in England - it was a bed and breakfast that had a bed in one of the rooms that puportedly belonged to Crowley and was "causing problems" for the guests. They built up the segment with all this satanist garbage. Really laughable.

July 2013 Firing Order - EditorialPosted in Features on July 1, 2013
The prep work was absolutely laughable on some of the vehicles waiting in the contingency line at a King of the Hammers desert race I attended several years ago. I wouldn't have tried to make a short trip to the grocery store with some of the stuff I saw, much less enter a race. There were frayed fan belts, leaky power steering systems, bent driveshafts, oozing water pumps, and more. It's no wonder the attrition rate of this race is so high. Any on-road competition would have black-flagged vehicles with such hack prepping.
I'm a pretty meticulous guy. I generally plan my 4x4 builds in my head and try to put a hand on every bolt. If something goes wrong with my rig, I often know what it is before I get out to inspect the noise, smoke, wobble, spilling liquid, or vibration emitting from underneath. When checking out other people's 4x4s, I'm the guy that spots loose or missing bolts, chafed fluid lines, things making contact that shouldn't, and so on. It's not that I'm actively looking for this stuff—it just jumps out at me like a groom's crazy stripper ex-girlfriend pops out of a wedding cake.
It just jumps out at me like a groom's crazy stripper ex-girlfriend pops out of a wedding cake.
Nobody really wants to be "that guy" stuck or broken on the side of the trail, especially me. When building a 4x4, I don't like leaving anything to chance. I often go wheeling alone so I need to rely on my vehicles. Among other things, I like to test fit my tires and mock up the suspension using jackstands to try and figure out how much lift and fender trimming I might need. This helps avoid excessive tire rubbing and a limited turning circle.
I recently put my '85 M1008 on jackstands for tire and suspension mockup. I'm working with a set of 18/39.5-15 Super Swamper Boggers mounted on 15x12 Eaton steel beadlocks. The kicker is that I ordered the wheels with about 1.5 inches of backspacing. Yeah, they stick out—a lot. There were several reasons for this, including inner-bed fenderwell and front brake caliper clearance. If I were to do it again, I would have started with a M102A2 bed instead of the M102A3 bed that I have. This would have given me more room in the rear wheelwells.
Anyway, with the 39.5s on the Eatons, there is plenty of clearance in the rear with no lift at all. Up front is a different story. I originally thought I could clear the tires up there with 4-inch Tuff Country lift springs and copious amounts of trimming, and I still can. It's just that I will likely need to completely remove the inner fenderwells, requiring me to fabricate new battery mounts among other things. I want to keep the truck simple, so I think it will be best to scrap the 4-inch lift idea and go with a 6-inch lift up front. I'll still need to trim quite a bit and lower the bumpstops, but it will be more realistic and easier for someone else to replicate. Out back I'm steering toward an Offroad Design 4-inch shackle flip. I'm not worried about having a ton of flex, so I'm not interested in custom spring swaps or fabrication. I want to keep the truck sort of bolt-on, at least for now. Overall, I've also found that I typically end up with fewer problems elsewhere by having only a moderately flexible suspension. I think this combo should work out nicely, but the truck sure is wide at about 101 inches.
Now before you start scoffing at my build plan and tell me that my truck will be wider than the wheelbase of most Jeeps, keep in mind where I like to go wheeling. The terrain I frequent is typically in the wide open deserts and giant mud pits near my home. I'm not building this truck to be an extreme rockcrawling rig, and it will probably never be threaded through a forest of trees, but it should still fit on some difficult trails and actually be quite fun and challenging to drive off-road. In the end, isn't that the point of all this? If I wanted it to be easy, I'd buy a Prius and stay on paved roads.
Ultimately, even though my "monster" truck will surely be out-classed on the trail by a built Jeep Wrangler or full-blown buggy, it will at least be different. I may struggle on some of the tighter trails, and I'll probably never even enter some of the really tight trails. But that doesn't matter to me. I'll still be out there behind the wheel off-road. And if it's a competition you want, I'll be the one having the most fun because it won't be easy to maneuver my rig, and hopefully I will have planned and prepped it well enough not to break down.
