Don't worry....I am not going to give you highlights, but I do want to review my word for the year, which was strategic. My intent was that it was supposed to be a word that was to guide all of my actions, and in many ways I think that it did. I thinned out alot of my extracurricular responsibilities and somehow managed to expand my current ones. However the past few months of this year, strategic has not been the word of focus, but herculean. That is how finishing everything has felt- herculean. Going into work, bathing, finishing tasks, following through on my day-to-day responsibilities....all requiring a level of effort that seems almost impossible to conjure up. But I've managed.
Those close to me have noticed....and I seem to have a variety of people making comments about how I should drop this thing or that thing, work less, etc. I get it. I do. These are all very well meaning things to say to me. However, right now....it all comes off as criticism. That not only am I not managing but that I am doing everything WRONG. There is a Hodja story that I find particularly appropriate to this situation...
One day Hodja and his son were traveling to a neighboring city. Hodja felt like walking and allowed his son to ride on their donkey for the journey. As they were walking people on the road exclaimed "See? Look at the selfishness of today's youth! That boy is forcing that poor old man to walk! How disrespectful!"
So Hodja decided that maybe it would be better if he rode the donkey and his son walked alongside. As they continued on their way, more people commented "I can't believe it. That old man is making that poor little boy walk that whole way! How rude of him!"
At this Hodja decided that maybe both he and son should ride the donkey, but even then people commented, "Look at those two! Riding on the back of that poor donkey like that! That is animal cruelty!"
Getting frustrated, Hodja then decided that neither of them should ride on the donkey. That, however, still did not stop people from talking, "Look at those two idiots walking when they have a perfectly fine donkey to ride upon!"
Completely fed up, Hodja then picks up the donkey and puts it up on his shoulders. "If this doesn't stop people from talking, I don't know what will!"
When I first read this story, I only thought about how people are criticizing others and where do they get off thinking that's ok....blah blah blah. Which is true. When I told this story to my boss, her immediate response was "I get that! We keep changing the ways that we do stuff to please other people, but they still keep complaining. If we make one group happy, another one isn't." That interpretation has been really resonating with me lately. No matter what I do, I can't seem to make anyone else happy....least of all myself. Trying to constantly adapt and change to others people's whims are annoying and slow down progress....but the goal is the same.....just like Hodja, I am still traveling from one place to another. Does it really matter how I get there, just so long as I get there in the end?
So while I feel like I am carrying a donkey on my shoulders, I'm still on the path. For all the struggles, the path is kinda interesting at the moment. When I was re-reading the strategic post, I was surprised to see that I had written that I was having trouble with the season in general. This holiday season has been awful for me. I don't have the Christmas spirit, I don't want to give people gifts, and I've been avoiding all holiday type activities....I've been depressed (I actually took a sick day because I couldn't will myself to leave the house), I've been crying alot and generally emotionally raw. It's because I'm triggered and have been in an emotionally triggered state for a couple of months now. So many anniversaries of Mr.3 awfulness, so many feelings of abandonment, loss, and that I will never truly fit in anywhere or with anyone ever again. These past few months have been awful....and I'm not out of it, I'm still right in the middle of it....and I will be, for a while.
When I first thought of writing this post, I was going to suggest changing my annual word in acknowledgement of my failure to let it guide me. After deeper thought (and can I just say that the amount of thinking I've been doing lately is exhausting!) I realized that I am where I am at the moment because I have been strategic.....very much so. By working earlier in the year by really asking if everything that I was doing was really serving me....I created a situation of stability-financially and emotionally. A place where I can actually have the space to deal with all the boxed up issues I've got.
Now the best-case scenario out of this would be able to continue the work that I am doing without taking much more criticism from others, because carrying a donkey is hard enough as it is.
I'm trying folks, I am.
But no, I don't want to talk about it.
Yes, I am making sure that I am ok and will see a professional if I feel that I need to.
Yes, I am going out and doing non-work related things but no, there are times when I need to stay in and work because bills don't go away if you are depressed.
No, I'm not being "too nice" to others, that is just my leadership style.
No, I'm not being too hard on you, I just have a low tolerance for your bullshit, excuses, and lies (and lying is a major trigger for me so if you are caught in one, run for the hills).
Yes, I believe that honesty is the best policy but if your really don't want an honest answer to your question, you should perhaps rethink asking me that....because as you can see....I lost my "tact" filter a few miles down the road.
Yes, I will let you know what I need....whenever I figure out what that is.
No, I am not being evasive on that question, because I really don't know what I need right now.
And yes, if I said that I would do something, I will.....but the timelines may not be on your schedule, and sometimes, depending on the day, may not be on mine either.

I am very sad to report that our "gentle giant" Randall has had a very serious accident.
Things were really looking great for Randall when he finally left for a foster home on Saturday. His foster mom and her son picked up Randall and after coaxing him for 25 minutes, we got him loaded in their car for his ride home. Randall is very shy and inexperienced. He was very unfamiliar with a car and getting in was very challenging for him. The amazing thing is that he immediately bonded with the foster home's 11 year old son. Randall went to him right away and kept looking/gazing at him for reassurance and petting. Getting him out of the car was much easier and reports from the foster home the next two days were all very terrific. I kept hearing what a wonderful and perfect dog Randal is. He became very attached to the son, following him around the house and hanging out with him all the time. He loved to go on his walks with both Mom and Son and hang out watching them throw the football back and forth.
It seems that Randall was so attached to his foster brother that one afternoon, when he left the home, Randall decided to follow and the only way he was able to was to go out the upstairs window. He fell to the ground and thanks to some wonderful neighbors and volunteers, Randall was rushed to the hospital. Badly hurt and broken up, Randall suffered a dislocated hip, two broken wrists and some broken and fractured teeth. Randall has been transferred to a surgical center where he will undergo one maybe two surgeries. He is badly swollen and painful but we are keeping him pain free with medication and care and waiting for some of the inflammation to go down before surgery. His road to recovery will be long and challenging and his medical expenses will be substantial. His foster family is dedicated to helping him through his recovery and rehabilitation and will be bringing him home when he is able. He will require medication, special assistance equipment, patience and love.
Randall is in need of your help with funding assistance for his long journey to recovery. Please help if you can.

Can Fan Fiction Go Mainstream?
That's the question recently asked by Wired.
From the piece...
The overlap between the professional and fan literary communities is one of those uncomfortable secrets no one denies, but few discuss. Fan fiction is mostly published pseudonymously, and the stigma surrounding it often causes writers to keep their professional and fan identities carefully compartmentalized.
Literary publishing's uneasy relationship with fan fiction has been complicated by the realization that fandom is a huge potential market—one stocked with both prolific authors and enthusiastic readers. But tapping that market is a dilemma few publishers seem quite prepared to engage.

Farm fresh, free range eggs {& how two CityGirls had such fun collecting them}/
Last month Farmboy and I were home in South Africa for our Winter Holidays. We got to spend time with all our respective families, and had a most enjoyable time on his family dairy farm. As a CityGirl, and considering I had only ever seen eggs come out of grey boxes, collecting eggs is still very much a novelty. This time round I had the help of my gorgeous cousin Jess. Together we set about collecting all the eggs from various chickens dotted around the farm.
Thanks for a wonderful eggy adventure Jess <3

People admit Toronto is too expensive but don't plan on leaving
Watch above: Toronto may be expensive, but the majority say it's worth it. Alan Carter reports.
TORONTO – Torontonians say the city is too expensive, traffic is getting worse and it's become an increasingly hard place for the average person to live.
It's too much for some people – 38 per cent of 1,292 people polled by Ipsos Reid for Global News said they were thinking about leaving the city because it's too expensive.
The wide-ranging poll does present a depressing outlook on life in the city: 90 per cent say life is becoming more difficult, 58 per cent don't feel financially secure, 51 per cent are living paycheque to paycheque, 79 per cent say real estate is unaffordable, and 59 per cent aren't sure they could find a comparable job if they got fired.those i
But despite all that – 75 per cent say those sacrifices are worth it to have a 416 or 647 area code.

Hamid Arabzadeh, the CEO of cloud computing company Ranovus spent 15 years away from Toronto. He lived in Brazil and Mexico each for two years, then he spent seven years in London and another 4.5 years in Germany. Then he moved back to Toronto.
"Apart from it's a great place to raise your kids, I found that the ecosystem here for entrepreneurship and finance specifically is very buoyant," he said. "It's almost a perfect gateway to tap into the North American venture capital area and also to tap into the talent here locally."
And the majority of people hold up Toronto's diversity as one of its best qualities.
"It's such a beautiful city," Nav Bhatia, a self-described super fan of the Toronto Raptors. "It has everything, you have everything from here. You see people from all races, colours, creeds. Everybody's here. You can get food of every kind here. This is one hell of a city, I don't know where else to be."
And the outlook is getting better. Ipsos Reid did a similar poll in 2011 asking people a variety of questions about how they felt living in the city – whether they liked living, playing, working and investing in Toronto.
READ MORE: Half of Torontonians willing to pay more to spend less time on TTC
More people in 2014 had a rosier outlook on life in Toronto than in 2011.
"I think we have something special here," Arabzadeh said. "I haven't seen it anywhere else in the world and that's why I decided to come back."
The majority of people also said they are proud to live in Toronto (85 per cent) and believe the city is "world class" (79 per cent).
And they want more money spent on arts, culture and recreation: 67 per cent said the city spends two little on those three industries.
Ipsos surveyed 1,252 Torontonians on Global News's behalf via an online panel between September 22 and 25. The survey is reliable within +/- 3.2 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Recently I flew from Kulusuk, Greenland to Reykjavik, Iceland, and spent some time in the Kulusuk airport prior to my flight which really defined the word "small" when applied to an airport. I was with a small group of photographers just finishing an incredible photographic adventure in Greenland and ready to return to share our incredible images. So when we arrived at the airport around noon, food seemed to be the first order of business. After all, excitement and adventure make you hungry!
Now in Iceland you have the N1s along the ring road which are famous for their hot dogs, not to mention Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur and their Bill Clinton hot dog in Reykjavik. This tradition seems to have extended to the Greenland airport because the only choices for food for famished photographers were either candy bars or hot dogs. The man working behind the counter reminded me of Buddy Hackett (age disclosure here) making it a bit difficult to take him seriously as a hot dog vendor. However he made the hot dog with the greatest of care, turning it on the grill until it was just right. He then demonstrated the Greenland custom of hollowing out one end of the bun instead of having it slit down the middle. This way you could fill the bun from the end with all of your condiments. Once you've filled the end of your bun to bursting with ketchup, mayo or mustard (mixing seems to be frowned upon) then he would carefully insert the perfectly grilled hot dog into the small opening using tongs.
Now I'm new to Greenland, so this entire process was utterly fascinating. Now that we had our nourishment, we were herded into a smallish room with tables and chairs to wait. Once the announcement came to head to security prior to the gate, off we went. We all lined up at the Greenland equivalent of our TSA check point. To my great surprise, who should be the one and only officer running the check point, but Buddy Hackett hot dog man. So no stern looking official with a badge here and now I'm having even more trouble taking him seriously than I was when he was grilling my hot dog.
So we removed our computers, emptied our pockets, took off all our metal and put everything on the conveyor belt to be scanned and then one at a time we were ushered through the metal detector by Buddy Hackett while he was watching our assorted hand luggage go through a scanner that didn't seem to be on. I mean there were no lights whatsoever on the scanner, the metal detector, not even a TV monitor to show him what was hidden in our bags. Not that I hide anything, but I inevitably end up giving up something at security, usually a roll of gaffer's tape.
But I have to say that all in all, the hotdog man played the role of security official quite well, despite the lack of working equipment. But I am happy to say that once we were through security, we did have the good fortune to spy a small duty free shop with a selection of wines, spirits, T shirts, native bead work, hats, gloves, etc. I noticed a map of Greenland that I thought would be good to take back and whisked it with me to the cash register to pay. Who to my surprise was just finishing turning on the lights and warming up the cash register? You guessed it, Buddy Hackett hot dog vendor security official and now cashier/store manager. He was more than happy to put out his hand to take what little Danish Krona I had left.
Our guide mentioned that his official title is "The Airport Manager" which also included janitorial services once a flight leaves. I never thought I would leave somewhere with a mental image of Buddy Hackett sweeping up crumbs from my hot dog bun.

When Nomadness does something it is always done big. And if it was done before then it'll be done bigger. When another quality glitch fare hit the Internets earlier this year to the UAE, Nomadness swooped in to again cop hundreds of flights. In the spirit of last years #UAETakeOver the Tribe booked first and asked questions later. Our Cheerleader supreme Kenna Williams would take the lead to organize a massive trip to Dubai for Halloween 2016. Fresh off that experience Huffington Post gives you an inside at what went down in the Middle East.
Ms. Williams's first visit to Dubai was in 2014 on her way back from South Africa. She was there with a small group of friends but decided to go back again. For the past three years, Ms. Williams has been coordinating this trip. In 2014, Kenna was in Dubai with approximately 30 friends. In 2015 she returned with 80 of her friends and this year she had a beautiful sea of over 250 black queens and kings exploring Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
What made this event such a success was there were all age ranges attending from 20s-80s, individuals in all professions including educators, engineers, doctors, nurses plus student and various types of entrepreneurs, there were several people receiving their passport stamp for the first time and some conquered their fear of flying one of the ten longest flights in the world!
Hop over to Huff Post for the full feature including a video interview with Pusha Kee, Kenna Williams herself. ~Click Here~

Berry Saison (alc 5.1% abv)
This wonderfully pink Berry Saison is our first fruit beer. We added 100kg of fruit (raspberries, blackberries, blackcurrants & cherries) to our 1000l batch – no concentrates or flavourings used! So it's very fruity indeed, and with a nicely balanced acidity it's certainly our most vinous beer yet.
Mountain: The route tops out on Snowdon via Parson's Nose and Clogwyn y Person Arete. We brewed this beer in collaboration with Simon Martin from Real Ale Craft Beer, Britain's most popular video beer reviewer. Simon is Welsh so our label shows, for the first time, not a Scottish but Welsh mountain.
Tops Out: 1085m (3560ft)
Bronze Medal winner at the 1st Berlin International Beer Competition, as judged by the trade.

After a survey and analysis of the Town of Florence's fire and utility operations, the Insurance Services Office (ISO) has increased the Town's rating from a 4 to a 3. The improvements the Town has made in fire and utility services since the last ISO rating was determined in 2005 are a direct result of the improved ISO rating. The effective date of this change is May 1, 2017.
Florence Mayor Tara Walter explained the importance of the change in the Town's ISO rating. "The improved ISO rating is a direct reflection of the top-notch fire services the Town provides. Florence residents should be excited to know we are receiving exceptional fire service and our new ISO rating may save us money."
The lower ISO rating should reduce property insurance rates for property owners in Florence. Each insurance company independently determines the premiums it charges to its customers and not all insurance companies handle their rates the same way. Residents should check with their insurance companies for more information on the improved ISO may save them money.
For more information about the ISO rating and the Town's fire services, contact the Florence Fire Department at (520) 868-7609.

Classical statistical methods developed during the last century were suitable when the number of observations is much larger than the number of parameters to infer. Unfortunately, many fields such as astronomy, genetics, medicine or neuroscience produce large and complex data sets whose dimension is much larger than the number of experimental units. Such data are said to be high-dimensional. To face with this challenging curse of dimensionality, new methodologies have been developed based on sparsity assumptions.
The goal of these courses is to present the main concepts and ideas on some selected topics of high-dimensional statistics such as variable selection, nonparametric estimation, supervised and non-supervised classification, or multiple testing. Theoretical aspects are motivated by applicable developments of presented methods.
Course 1 (Vincent Rivoirard): Estimation in the high-dimensional setting
The goal of this course is to present modern statistical tools and some of their theoretical properties for estimation in the high-dimensional setting, including:
- Wavelets and thresholding rules
- Penalized estimators: model selection procedures, Ridge and Lasso estimates
- Generalizations and variations of the Lasso estimate: Group-Lasso, Fused-Lasso, elastic-net and Dantzig selectors. Links with Bayesian rules.
- Statistical properties of Lasso estimators: study in the classical regression model. Extensions for the generalized linear model.
Course 2 (Franck Picard): Empirical properties of penalized estimators in high-dimensional linear models
In this course we will illustrate and explore the empirical properties of penalized estimators in linear models (Gaussian regression and generalized linear models). Using R we will learn how to build relevant simulation designs to assess the performance of the LASSO and its derivatives. We will also focus on the importance of penalty calibration in practice, using different methods like cross validation or the BIC for instance. Most importantly we will show how penalization can be used in the low dimensional as well as in the high dimensional settings. These simulation studies constitute a good framework to explore the inherent difficulties of high dimensional statistics in practice, what should be expected, and what should not be! Another aspect of the course will be to learn penalized unsupervised methods like sparse PCA and sparse clustering.
Course 3 (Tristan Mary-Huard): Supervised classification in the high-dimensional setting
In this course we will first introduce the basics about supervised classification along with some classical supervised methods (logistic regression, linear discriminant analysis). We will then focus on the high dimensional setting and introduce regularized methods (ridge logistic regression, SVM…). We will investigate how these algorithms can be cast in a general framework of penalized convex risk minimization and will provide some theoretical guarantees about their performances. Practical questions such as model selection via cross-validation will also be introduced.

It was fun-filled and a little busy--the week between Anthony's actual birthday and his party. Meme and Papa were in town, and in addition to Anthony's school party, the boys had some other things going on...
Lucas took a walk down to the park with Papa one morning while Anthony was at school. Both boys love posing on this huge rock. They call it the "gum" rock, because, well, you guessed it--it has a ton of old dried up gum stuck to it--yuck!
the boys joined some of their buddies for friend ainsley's bounce house birthday party
Anthony dressed up for "Western Day" at preschool.
His costume included the new light-up Woody boots that Meme got him--how cool!
look at that handsome little cowboy
Anthony alerted me that morning that he would prefer to go by "Tex" today...
alrighty, then, Tex--have a fun day at school
Ms. Jenna is decked out in her western attire as well
in the evening, meme and papa take anthony and lucas to the mall for a merry-go-round ride and some chick-fil-a
the next day, another walk with papa, and another pose on the "gum" rock
notice the cowboy boots again--i think he wore those every day for 3 weeks!
Next up....Anthony's Train Birthday!!! Stay tuned!!!

Earth, Air, Fire & Water: Angels & Demons / 5th Element Illuminati message exposed
From Professor Robert Langdon in "Angels and Demons" 2009
LANGDON (cont'd)
"Brand" them, another llluminati
legend, this one says there are a set
of five brands, each one an ambigram.
LANGDON (cont'd)
The first four are the fundamental
elements of science -- earth, air,
fire, water. The fifth -- is a
mystery. Maybe it's this.
He pulls the "llluminati" ambigram from his pocket.
PROFESSOR MASSIMO PACOLI "The 5th element" 1997
"..when the three planets are in eclipse.."
His fingers trace across the wall which is covered with symbols and
strange hieroglyphs as he deciphers.
"..the black hole like a door is open...
Evil comes ... sowing terror and chaos..."
See? The snake, Billy. The Ultimate Evil
... make sure you get the snake!
The Professor points emphatically to the snake, the symbol of Evil,
coming through the door between the three planets in eclipse. C.U.
Billy's hand sketches the snake quickly. He is a natural artist.
"..then arrange the elements of life against
the Terror just so.."
His fingers run on.
elements around the fifth.."
His fingers fall on the one element that has a human shape, surrounded by
all the others.
"..in which all the history of the Universe resides
..all the strength..all the hope..Protect us from
Two movie separated by 12 years, talking about Earth, Air, Fire & Water around a mysterious "5th symbol or element". At the end of "Angels and Demons" this symbol is reveled to be the crossed keys of the Vatican but upside down. This symbolized the Pope (the next 'Peter' in the line) as the disciple Peter was crucified upside-down . The POPE is the 5th symbol.
LANGDON There's a fifth brand. VITTORIA What? He touches the indentation in the velvet, puzzling it out. LANGDON Two crossed keys. 105. VITTORIA The symbol for the Vatican? LANGDON The papacy.
The Illuminati Ambigramatic symbol was only to be released when the Illuminati were ready to reveal themselves… it was released, via the movie "Angels & Demons" on 14 May 2009 in Australia (15 May in the USA). 14 May is also the anniversary of Israel's founding as a nation 14 May 1948.
LANGDON (cont'd)
It's called an ambigram, the same
backwards and forwards. That's common
in a symbol, like a Jewish star, or
yin-yang, or a swastika, but this is a
word. People have searched for the
llluminati ambigrammatic symbol for
four centuries, modern symbologists
even tried to create it, but nobody
could pull it off, not even by
computer. Most had concluded it was a
myth. I wrote a book about it.
Which is why you're here, isn't it?
Incredible. Either someone just
figured out how to make this, or they
found it. Recently. Which would
mean the llluminati have returned.
(looks at Vincenzo)
An ancient brotherhood, enemies of the
church, surfacing just after the death
of a Pope? I'd pull you off
vacation too.
61 years after the founding of Israel, the Moriah conquering wind (another name for the Illuminati / The Temple mount sits upon the top of Mount Moriah), their symbol is released upon the world via a box office hit movie that paints them in a good light and show the Roman catholic church as the insidious entity.
If the llluminati have returned and
are in Rome, we will hunt them down
and kill them.
Langdon, seated across from him, stifles a laugh.
Spoken like a Roman Catholic.
Vincenzo looks at him sharply.
LANGDON (cont'd)
The llluminati didn't become violent
anti-Papists until the 17th century.
Initially, they were physicists,
mathematicians, astronomers. Their
name means "the Enlightened Ones." In
the 1500s, they started meeting
secretly to share their concerns about
the church's inaccurate teachings.
They were dedicated to the quest for
scientific truth. And for that, the
church -- to use your words -- hunted
them down and killed them. Drove
them underground.
Langdon turns and looks out the front window of the helicopter as,
up ahead, the marble facade of St. Peter's Basilica blazes like
fire in the afternoon sun.
LANGDON (cont'd)
Into a secret society.
The same image is true of Dan Brown's first Novel "The Davinci Code" where elements within the Catholic church are the aggressors and assassins. Both movies serve as a vehicle to paint what is Luciferian as Good.
In the movie "The 5th element", the Professor in that movie in 1914 discovers Egyptian hieroglyphs of the 4 elements Earth, Air, Fire & Water around a 5th element. As stated in the film it is "a perfect being."
Not long after the discovery by the professor an alien craft descends and the aliens remove the sarcophagus of the 5th element for safe keeping stating that in "300 years, when evil returns, so shall we." 300 years later upon their return their spacecraft is destroyed and mere cells are alive of the 5th element. These cells are placed into a large sarcophagus like replicator and regenerated into this "Perfect being" that will "Save the world". This movie seems to fit the theory's that Obama is a clone of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten. Obama has been regenerated from the surviving cells of Akhenaten from his sarcophagus from the valley of Kings in Egypt. My point is that Obama is the 5th element.
Timing of the release of the Movie "The 5th element" was on 7 May 1997 (The same year as Robert Zemekis's movie "Contact" was released pertaining to a Star-gate [CERN]). 7 May 1997 plus the timeline from JER 39:2 of 11 years 4 months and 9 days comes out to 15 Sept 2008, the very day Lehman Brothers failed and the walls of the global financial system were breached.
Jer 39:2 "In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the city was penetrated."
Thanks to Nathan Leal of the Watchman's cry from 2012, when you add the above time to Sept 11th 2001 you get an interesting date.
"Moving forward from the date of September 11, 2001 and using the calculation found in the verse above (Jeremiah 39:2,)
1. September 11, 2001 + 11 years = September 11, 2012.
2. September 11, 2012 + 4 months = January 11, 2013
3. January 11, 2013 + 9 days = January 20, 2013
We arrive at the date of January 20, 2013!
Ladies and Gentlemen, January 20, 2013 happens to be the same day as the coming Presidential Inauguration! http://www.watchmanscry.com/article_babylon_arrives.html
Also we have NASA's Juno probe which I consider to be an Elite Signal flare to their own. http://penitenziagite2016.blogspot.co.nz/2016/03/nasas-juno-probe-points-to-july-2016.html
The 5 July 2016 arrival of Juno into orbit of Jupiter is 02:30 GMT which will be 21:30 Washington DC time on the 4th of July 2016. This date minus 1260 days comes out to 21 Jan 2013, BHO's 2nd inauguration date. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/ju…/#.VHGBsmeuTHL right by the 'countdown clock'
UPDATE 1: 28 April 2016
July 2016 looks to be VERY busy.
We have the first Movie, "The Fifth element" pointing to a resurrected Egyptian being here to save the world: Obama!
And a second movie in which the Illuminati not only revealed themselves but revealed also who the 5th symbol was: The Pope
My point; They have given us the identities of the Antichrist and the False Prophet.
From the Davinci Code: The Hero and the heroine, Prof Robert Langdon and French Police cryptologist Sophie Neveu….a main theme of the movie is Anagrams or jumbled word order.
Sophie Neveu could be
sophie neveu : eve ouphe sin or eve sin ouphe. An Ouphe is an Elf or Goblin. Are they claiming that Eve sinned with a fallen angel or something of the dark powers?
Robert Langdon: angel trod born Angel Trod (walking on the Earth) Born?
Angel torr bond Angel Torr (a rounded hill) Bond (Bound) ? Fallen Angels bound beneath the hills?
From The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. Arwen the Elf talking of the prophecy of re-forging the king's sword. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olGboZY1MWk
Arwen (voiceover):
"From the ashes a fire shall be woken
a light from the shadows shall spring
renewed shall be Blade that was broken
The crownless again shall be King."
Revelation 17:8 New International Version (NIV)
"The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction."
Pharaoh Akhenaten, died and his cloned entity reborn as Obama. Once WAS, Now is not, yet will come out of the Abyss. Renewed shall the blade that was broken, the crownless AGAIN shall be King.
This link is an article done by Linda Clay. It contains not only Linda's dream of Obama but also the video links she has showing the Obama / Akhenaten connection. He truly is not what he seems.

so i don't have a picture of last night's progress on roomie's socks. that's because there isn't any. *pained face* i did maybe 2-3 pattern repeats. i'm just maxed out. and i'm ultra bored with my other projects too. i thought that by doing both socks in tandem it would help me prevent second sock syndrome, but if anything it's worse. instead of having to create another entire sock from scratch, i just have to finish 3 more inches of cuff plus 1.5 inches of ribbing. but it takes FOREVER. i don't WANNA. yes, i am resorting to whining. and i'm so close to being done i should just finish them. yet i'm so far away. does this happen to anybody else? these socks are starting to turn into the ones i did on US #00 needles that took me about 6 months to finish. ugh.
i need inspiration.

First, I am now 35. I had a birthday party yesterday. Technically, it was a "Bid Yap" party, as my family and I have anagrammed "Happy Birthday" into "Harp Thy Bid Yap", and we sing the Harp Thy Bid Yap song.
Second, with the exception of the aforementioned Bid Yap party, I have been on a 1500 calorie per day diet. Last week I lost 8.5 pounds. Then I had my party, and ate a whole lot. Today I'm back to the 1500 calories, although the leftovers for lunch probably put me over, but I did better than I usually would have.
Third, my attempts at gardening are finally bearing going somewhere, as I finally got dirt in about a week ago. So far, I have only a few cucumber seedlings and some tomato plants that my sister in law gave me for bid yap.
Fourth, I am going to be attending college starting in late July. I will be pursuing an IT degree. My job does tuition reimbursement, so it's like getting a 70% discount on it. Furthermore, my status as "having once been in the military and having the word 'honorable' on a piece of paper" entitles me to a significant discount on the cost per credit. Even better, some of the training I received while in the military should transfer credits to my university. Even more better, the fact that I wrote four books should make it so that I don't have to take any composition or technical writing courses. We'll see later on how the book writing helps or not.
Fifth, as a ministry opportunity, my wife and I are organizing a yard sale for the purposing of ministering and gospelizing people, by getting folks in my church to donate their stuff to it, and donating both whatever money is made to a charity (because of weird bylaw stuff, not my home church, but an outside organization) and whatever stuff is left. In this I am going to do my level best to make it obvious enough to a person who would regard what the yard sale is as some sort of "entrapment proselytizing brainwashing indoctrination" that ministry is the whole point of the yardsale, so that the people who come to it will not be completely surprised that they will be told about Jesus, but not so over the top that ordinary people are scared away by the freaky Jesus people.

Yalu Jailbreak iOS 10.2 The Best Solution On Jailbreak
yalu jailbreak ios 10.2 is the latest finding by the jailbreak developer Luca Todesco. This write up provides you the best possible trick on avoiding the re sign in procedure of the yalu version of the jailbreak tool. From this method you do not need to sign in for 7 days again and again. Before moving on to the very interesting topic let me present you the easy introduction of the tool.
Yalu jailbreak ios 10.2 signing in easy method
yalu jailbreak ios 10.2 tool for the jailbreak process was created and developed by the Italian developer named Luca Todesco. This specific jailbreak tool was luckily fit for all the 10.2 versions of apple operating system. As the result which came right after releasing this specific tool, every jailbreak users was satisfied from this specific jailbreak tool.
The story of yalu jailbreak ios 10.2
Now as you can observe the topic is about re-sign in on the jailbreak tool which is known as yalu jailbreak ios 10.2. Let's check for the reasons. This specific version for jailbreak by the Italian developer was introduces as a semi untethered tool of jailbreaking. So because of this situation all the jailbreak users have to use this yalu version by re-sign in to the system from 7 days frequently. As we can see and feel it is an annoying task.
This should be done using a cydia impactor which should be proceed in a computer device. For the users who have the apple account which was obtained by paying a certain amount have to perform the sign in process once a year. But most of the user are more interested on using the free account of the apple developer platform of 10.2.

A Foster-Sister of Saint Agnes, the Virgin, Emerentiana, while still a Catechumen, shed tears on the tomb of her friend, who had just been Martyred.
Some Pagans mocked her grief. She, full of The Divine Virtue of which Jesus is the source (Collect), reproached the idolaters with their cruelty towards Saint Agnes, and they, in their fury, stoned her on that very tomb. Baptised in her own blood, she went to join for every more her Spouse and her Sister, about 304 A.D.

Oligarchy Is The New Fascism
by Scott Morrow, President DMAL Retiree Chapter
Since the Reagan war on Unions and workers, democracy in the workplace has declined from around one third of ALL American Jobs to less than seven percent today. Many American employers take full advantage of this by hiring their workers at a minimum wage that has the purchasing power of about one third of what my first job did back in the 1960's era when Unions were strong and growing. In fact, a Republican President of the United States (POTUS) bragged in 1956 about how they had been successful in increasing Union shops in America. Unions tend to lift all wage earners thereby creating a minimum wage for me in my first job equivalent to about $22 an hour today after being adjusted for inflation.
As the Oligarchs have decimated the Unions, a race to the bottom has been in full swing now for at least 30 years. As we have evolved from a country with a liberal middle class to one where the corporations have bought and paid for most of our representatives we resemble the fascists of old.
The infamous dictator who coined the term "fascism" was none other than Mussolini. As the leader of the National Fascist Party, he ruled the country as Prime Minister from 1922 to 1943—constitutionally until 1925, when he dropped all pretense of democracy and set up a legal dictatorship. In this fascist world, ALL elected parliament members were dismissed and replaced by the corporate masters of the time. Sound familiar?
Today our Federal Government exists through a legalized system of bribery, politicians receive bribes from wealthy donors in return for writing the laws to their liking, and then those politicians are rewarded with high paying jobs when they retire or lose an election. Large majorities of Americans oppose much of the legislation passed by Congress and their State Governments.
For example, in the recent attempt by the Republican dominated Congress to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) also known as Obamacare and throw tens of millions off any care what so ever, 64% of Americans opposed the legislation, yet it almost passed! A majority of members of the Republicans' own party opposed the bill labeled repeal and replace but in actuality, a stealth tax cut bill for the rich.
While we do not have the same exact situation as the Italians did back in 1922, our current POTUS had filled his cabinet with multi-millionaires and billionaire's! None of them were ever workers, almost all of them like POTUS, born into economic royalty and permanent members of the American Oligarchy. Of course, they who have bought much of Congress want laws to enhance their personal wealth and well-being. Of course, they are uncomfortable paying an additional 3.6% on their "unearned" income to finance the PPACA.
Right now, the Denver Metro Retiree Chapter is fighting hard to overcome the FIVE HUNDRED billion dollars just stolen from Medicare (funds ALL came from payroll checks and benefits have been pre-paid by those 65 or older) and the Trillion dollars just stolen from Medicaid by the Republican budget passed by both houses in Congress. Medicaid pays well over half of all long-term care in "Nursing Homes" and other assisted living arrangements for the elderly. What will these vulnerable people do now? What will their children do to compensate for this loss of funding?
Now we face the Republican tax cut plan that will rob many more trillions from retirees, hungry children, the sick and the disabled. As I write, it is estimated the tax cut for mostly the top 1% of Americans will add over Five trillion dollars to the debt and deficits. 40% of these tax cuts by the fascists will go to FOREIGN investors who now own over one seventh of all property in the United States due to our bludgeoning trade deficits. Sending our good union jobs overseas has dire economic consequences. Please do not believe for even a minute this so-called tax cut will benefit you. It is designed for just one purpose and that is to turn over all political power to the fascists of the American Oligarchy. It is designed to redistribute the few crumbs left for the least among us up to the economic royalists. They must have it all. Nothing will ever be enough for these folks.
Please call your Congressional representatives often to express your opposition to taking from you to give to those who simply do not need any more. If you are thinking this would be a waste of your time remember that there are a few hundred American's buying congress while there are hundreds of millions of us who only need to raise our voices to turn the tide.

Nana Beach Hotel – Hersonissos – Reviews
Nana Beach hotel is perfect if you want to be kept busy! I visited last summer with my two children and they never stopped with lots of different activities from the hotel kids clubs. On the rare occasion when there wasn't an activity they wanted to get involved in they were enjoying the kids only pool where they could splash around without worrying about disturbing any adults – a good point for me as a parent too!
All in all this is a fab hotel, there was a great choice of food at the restaurants and even the buffet selection was all hot and fresh! There was myself, my husband and my 5 year old in one of the standard rooms and it was a bit compact so would definitely recommend bigger groups to upgrade to the suites or family rooms but chances are you won't even spend too much time there, you will be too busy outside like we were!
So many good points about Nana Beach and I will definitely be returning ASAP! It's great if you want to have a family holiday which has activities for the parents as well as the kids. While my daughter was in the hotel kids club, my husband went on a scuba diving lesson which was included in our package while I visited the spa; great holiday all round!

To the editor: Every year millions of cars in California are inspected. The reason so many cars are able to receive smog checks is simple: the owners pay for the inspections. Why? It is part of the cost of owning a car, as dirty air harms us all. ("Thousands of large L.A. buildings are long overdue for fire inspections," June 15)
There is no reason buildings should not be inspected by the Los Angeles Fire Department because of a lack of funds to hire enough inspectors. If you own a building, you have a duty to keep it safe; fires do not respect property lines, and your failure to keep it safe endangers us all. Certainly if you rent out units in the building, you have a duty to provide tenants with a safe environment.
All of this requires inspection, and there is no reason the general public should pay for that. Charge property owners for inspection; it works for autos, and it would work for buildings.

Product Description
Renal Supplements: Protein Drinks for Dialysis Patients
Being on dialysis means that you have renal issues and can't consume many of the protein drinks on the market–they often contain too many nutrients that can be life threatening. In renal patients, for example, too much:
- Phosphorus: weakens bones
- Sodium: could strain the heart and cause pulmonary edema
- Potassium: could stop the heart
Vitamins and minerals in proper proportion are vital for you. That's why we worked with dieticians and nephrologists to create our Re/Gen Renal Supplement.
Nutra Balance Re/Gen Renal Supplement
Re/Gen is ready to drink nutritional supplement. It's low in the electrolyte profile, which includes potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus and calcium, and better supports your renal health. It is:
- High calorie, containing 60 calories: prevents muscle breakdown
- High protein, containing 2 grams protein per ounce: replaces albumin loss from dialysis
- Easy to digest: gluten and Lactose-Free
- Ideal milk substitute: low calcium
Limiting fluid intake is easier with Re/Gen since it is a small, 6-ounce portion (20/6 oz. per Box) , and comes in Vanilla, Vanilla (No Sugar Added for Diabetics), and Strawberry flavors. It also tastes better than other renal supplement drinks.
Solving your renal issues
Normally the human body filters all of its blood, removing waste and excess fluid, every 30 minutes. But your system is compromised, so this type of cleansing doesn't occur efficiently. That's when problems pop up.
Renal issues affect nearly 26 million people and those who have kidney disease often don't know it, according to the National Kidney Foundation. That's because the symptoms develop slowly and aren't kidney specific, but water-electrolyte (potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus) imbalance is a major indicator that the kidneys have been compromised. And imbalance, mentioned previously, can be extremely dangerous.
Consult with your doctor if you are experiencing symptoms that include:
- Fatigue
- High blood pressure
- Loss of appetite
- Water-electrolyte imbalance
- Kidney damage or failure
- Abnormal heart rhythm
- Fluid in the lungs
- Insufficient urine production
- Itching
- Severe unintentional weight loss
- Edema
Many of our products were developed specifically to address renal issues and support your nutritional needs, including renal-friendly Egg/Pro – Protein Module and Protein Fortified Cookies. Try them today!

Dr. Parzival Copes
Biographical information
Dr. Parzival Copes was born in Naskup, British Columbia, and earned a BA in economics and political science at the University of British Columbia in 1949 and an MA in economics from UBC the following year. In 1956, he graduated from the London School of Economics (University of London) with a PhD in economics.
Dr. Copes' connection with Memorial began in 1957 when he came to establish the university's Economics Department. In 1961 he helped create Memorial's Institute of Social and Economic Research which had a profound impact on the social and political development of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador in the succeeding decade.
In 1964, he went to the newly-founded Simon Fraser University where he established and ran its Department of Economics and Commerce, created Canada's first executive MBA program, and the Centre for Canadian Studies and the Institute of Fisheries Analysis.
It was his 1972 work on the fishery that earned him fame in this province. In that study, unambiguously titled The Resettlement of Fishing Communities in Newfoundland, he explained what would happen if there was not some balance between economic growth and resource extraction. Dr. Copes continues to work on the problems of the fishery - on both coasts and across the Pacific. While working with colleagues at Memorial, he serves on the Fisheries Advisory Group for aboriginal treaty negotiations and on the advisory panel of the Pacific Coast Sustainable Fisheries Society.
Dr. Copes has been recognized around the globe for his academic work. In 1991, he was named Emeritus Professor of Economics at Simon Fraser University, and in 1992 he was named a Fellow of the Academy of Natural Sciences of the Russian Federation and an honorary life member of Simon Fraser University Faculty Association. He was awarded an honorary degree from the University of Tromsř, Norway in 1993, and was the first recipient of the Sterling Prize in Support of Controversy, Simon Fraser University in 1994.
Oration honouring Dr. Parzival Copes
Given by Shane O'Dea, Public orator
The study of fisheries economics and management is one that is essential to us in both Newfoundland and in Labrador. Before you stands a man who has made a most significant contribution to the development of that discipline, a member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences and recipient of the Distinguished Service Award of the International Institute of Fisheries. More than that, he was the founder of our Economics Department and of our Institute of Social and Economic Research. That institute was a major force in the reconception, redirection and remaking of Newfoundland at the end of the last century. But, Chancellor, there is some small problem for us. After years of honouring Newfoundlanders who celebrated the outport in their scholarship, their art and their writings, it is a most curious thing to see their antithesis on this stage. To honour Parzival Copes is to honour he who is believed to be the chief apologist for resettlement, the very man who justified the abandonment of what we have been wont to call our soul, he who not only argued for the government program but went far further than any government was prepared to do and proposed a major outmigration.
We could create a wonderful medieval tableau here, a perverse triptych for the 20th century. Let it be composed in this fashion: in one panel we would have our painter, Gerry Squires, armed with a paintbrush, in the other our satirist, Ray Guy, armed with a pen. In the centre, lashed to a flake, a Newfoundland fisher over whom stands, flogging the poor fisher with numerous reports on individual transferable quotas, economic efficiencies and adjacency access rights, the good Dr. Copes.
Chancellor, you who have some sense of the fishery from the underside of a flake and a better sense of economics from the dark side of a dollar, may well find this triptych unsuitable for our convocation. But sir, what you and your audience must realize is that this disturbing icon is a mere mirror of the view held of Parzival Copes for a generation. In 1971 the Evening Telegram compared resettlement to the Nazi's relocation of the Jews; a comparison which, as Patrick O'Flaherty has pointed out, was completely inappropriate in light of Copes' involvement in the Dutch anti-Nazi resistance. Copes was also the subject of a ballad which says he proposed moving great numbers of Newfoundlanders: "one half of this horrible lot to/ heave them to pickle in Canada's pot/ …[to become] part of the devil's own plan/ And be boxed off like codfish to some foreign land".
When, a generation later, the Telegram said Copes had had "the last laugh," it was a muffled retraction of their former view. The editorialists and the composers of this ode, "The Rubber-Boot Brigade," as one Townie wag described them, had only dipped shallowly into Copes' work. Copes had analyzed the Newfoundland situation very thoroughly during his time here at Memorial from 1957 to 1964. He did a major report on the economic prospects of St. John's and Newfoundland in 1961, delivered his outmigration proposal to the Learned Societies at Memorial in 1971 (a brave man to walk into the jaws of the lion). In the years since he has become engaged in the West Coast and Pacific fisheries, but continues to work on or in relation to our concerns. A long-time believer in a balanced approach to fishery-based economies, Copes' resettlement report made clear that he was well aware of attachment to place, well aware that "income [was] not the only consideration in where one chooses to live," and stated that his study was being conducted "in cognizance of realistic constraints regarding social needs … not quantifiable in economic terms." In more recent work, in his very active retirement, he has said that fisheries policy must be based on three pillars: biological sustainability, economic efficiency and social equity. This is a man who has argued for the adjacency principle: that local populations must have first right of access to a fishery; who has argued against individual transferable quotas, the byproducts of which include the ceding of rights to large corporations and the encouragement of resource wastage.
Forty years ago he left us for a distinguished career at Simon Fraser, a university created to promote debate. Should we be surprised, then, to learn that when Simon Fraser created a prize for controversy, Parzival Copes was its first recipient? Chancellor, I present to you for the degree of doctor of letters, honoris causa, a man with a tongue unstilled, but still in the service of truth, Parzival Copes.
Address to convocation
My first task in addressing you, Memorial's graduating students in October 2004, is to congratulate you most heartily and sincerely for your hard work and achievements that now entitle you to honour and recognition as graduates of Memorial University in your respective programs. As a fellow graduand on this occasion, I am proud to join you. I remember almost half a century ago - in 1957 - when I for the first time met with students at Memorial University. Memorial was a relatively new and small university, with but 700 or 800 students. But I had deliberately pursued an appointment at Memorial, rather than at any larger, more prestigious and better known institution. This was much to the puzzlement of my professional colleagues in central Canada, but not to me. I had always been attracted to less usual, more adventurous and more challenging circumstances. Newfoundland and Labrador appealed to me: the newest part of Canada, but the oldest site of European venture in northern North America. I felt that nowhere else would I find an institution of higher learning with a more intense commitment to learning and personal development, to which I could make a more satisfying contribution in the academic advancement of this country.
I have not been disappointed. Memorial University gave me the opportunity to become part of the intellectual and professional core on which this province depended for its advancement. The circumstances in which academic development here is now taking place have improved vastly. Around you now, you see the largest and most comprehensively developed centre of higher learning in Atlantic Canada. Of this you are a part, to this you have the privilege to contribute, and from this you may dray advantage in your own development. In this venture I wish you all great personal success.

Facebook made major changes to its user interface earlier this week, and most of the users found it annoying. They are not just annoyed, but also confused on how the new features function. Users were pretty happy and adapted to the previous UI, which was user friendly and easy to use. However, the new changes to the UI has drawn confusions and put things upside down.
Along with the UI changes, came the real-time updates feature called Ticker. The Ticker basically updates every second with new comments, likesand tags made by friends. It is annoying because users don't really want to know what exactly is happening over Facebook. For instance, I have 700+ friends on Facebook, and I'm not concerned about who my friend adds or whose comment he/she likes.
According to Facebook, the Ticker, on the right-hand side of your account, lets you see all your friends' activity in real-time. When you hover over an item on ticker, you can see the full story and join the conversation as it happens. Ticker updates itself as stories happen. This gives you a more complete picture of what your friends are doing, right now.
Real-time updates work great with Twitter, but not with Facebook, and I think Facebook should probably stop copyingfeatures from other social networking sites. Although the new features are annoying, there are ways to revert back to the old Facebook UI, and disable the Ticker as well.
You might have come across blogs indicating the trick to get back the old Facebook UI by changing the preferred language to English (UK), and indeed the trick stopped working as Facebook fixed the issue. However, there is still a way to get back the old UI, and interestingly it works in a similar fashion by changing the preferred language.
How to get back to the old Facebook interface?
Change the preferred language to a foreign language other than English (US and UK). For instance, I have changed the language to German. If you're a Google Chrome user, you will immediately be prompted to translatethe page into English.
Before you click on the translate button, click on the Optionsbutton and select Always translate German to English. Now refresh or open Facebook in a new tab, and you will notice that every time you open Facebook, the page will be automatically translated to English. That way you will see the old Facebook interface and the Ticker disabled.
Here's a screenshot of the page automatically being translated to English –
Here's a screenshot after it has translated –
If you're a Firefox user, try using the Facebook Translate add-on. However, I'll definitely update this post if I find an alternate solution for Firefox users.

03/25/2002 Entry: "New Snare, and Whisky!"
I forgot to mention... A few weeks ago, I played a gig at The Sudbury Inn. I decided to take my Tama Starclassic snare. It needed a new head, so I bought one at Northern Kingdom, the greatest music store in the world. (Off topic: See who comes up #3 on google when searching for "greatest music store in the world.") Anyway, when I was changing the head, I notices that some of the wood layers were pulling apart. It was sent back to Tama one week ago Friday. Today, a brand new replacement showed up. I should pick it up tomorrow.
On Saturday, I help my neighboor move some furniture. Nothing major: a big photo copier, a desk, and a file cabinet. It took an hour and a half, all told. He bought me a little something for my trouble. It was really no trouble at all. But, he was very nice, don't you think?

Making Your Dreams Come True: Power of the Mind
My jaw dropped. At the instant I knew I was dreaming, the room was flooded with light. I saw a vivid reflection of myself in the mirror. When I turned, it turned, then it rotated slowly, as if showing off. A moment later I was outdoors in an inexpressibly beautiful park. A soft breeze rustled the arching treetops above me. There were hillsides of flowers and a deep blue sky. I drank in the dazzling detail — the rough bark of a tree trunk, the gravel path crunching beneath my feet, the iridescent blue songbird splashing in a puddle. No, I decided, this can't be a dream. I have too much presence, too much control. Anyway, how could all this heartbreaking beauty, this incredibly vivid detail, be a product of my slumbering mind?
A Mental Construct
I told LaBerge about the dream the moment we met at his research facility, the Lucidity Institute, in Palo Alto. He wasn't surprised. "Reality is not out there, it's in here," he said, as he gently tapped his head. "Even when you're awake, what you think of as the world is not what you see, it's an inference of what you see, a mental construction built by the brain from the input the senses have provided."
According to LaBerge, the sleeping brain, like the waking brain, tries to construct a model of reality, but with no external sensory input to work with, it draws its building blocks from internal sources: your memories, your hopes, your desires or your fears. "Dreaming shows you the kind of world you'd build if left to your own devices," says LaBerge, and that's why experiences in dreamland can be just as sensually real as the reality built for you by your waking brain.
"Asleep or awake, the vivid reality of experience is in the mind," he says. "Either way, from the brain's point of view, what's happening is really happening."
From personal experience, I have to agree. The most remarkable thing about my own short lucid dream was how firmly, how lucidly, I insisted that I must be awake. Looking back, I wish I'd done something more with the moment. After all, it's as if I'd suddenly been handed my own universe to play with.
But LaBerge's interests in lucid dreaming extend beyond the potential for play. He thinks dream experiences can help us overcome fears, build confidence and, if we open our minds, help us separate illusion from the truly real and transcendent. To further those goals, he established the Lucidity Institute, where tomorrow he will introduce us to a group of accomplished lucid dreamers.
