Your kickstarter doesn't suck: Mine Kafon edition
The Mine Kafon is a low-cost wind-powered mine detonator with the appearance of a giant, spiky-armed tumbleweed.
I had already heard of it in a TED talk; that one kickstarter is a worthy cause.
Project Eternity reaches $3M in pledges! 56 hours left to get to our next BIG stretch goal.
We've gotten to $3M with everyone's help. Our next BIG goal is adding a whole new city to the world of Project Eternity!
Baldur's Gate and Athkatla are big cities. Spanning multiple large maps with a ton of interiors, characters and quests, big cities are a lot of fun. Like strongholds, they also take a lot of work to do well. We're going to have one big city in Project Eternity. Would you like two? If you take us on an exciting adventure to $3.5 Million, we will take you on an exciting adventure to another big city.
EUROGAMER - First Project Eternity screen looks shockingly realistic
Obsidian has just released the first screenshot of its upcoming crowdsourced PC RPG codenamed Project Eternity on its Kickstarter.
The image above looks jaw-droppingly realistic, but Obsidian confirmed that it's entirely in-game, built using Unity. To achieve this look Obsidian would "build 3D levels, render them out as 2D images, and then have our artists paint in beautiful details, highlights, and color-tweaks before they went into the game." This is the process the studio used on Icewind Dale a decade ago and this is what that same concept looks like after 10 years of technological improvements.

Prepaid cards work very similar to debit cards, except that they are not linked to a bank checking account. You do not have to have a checking account or even be able to qualify for one to use a prepaid card. Prepaid cards work by the user adding money to the card account and then can use the card anywhere that accepts Visa or MasterCard. Often these cards are referred to as prepaid credit cards or prepaid debit cards, they are really just prepaid cards. Sometimes the term credit card throws people off, but these cards are not credit cards. You can only spend the money you have already added to the card, therefore a prepaid cards is not like a credit card. As a result, prepaid cards generally do not help you build your credit. There are some prepaid cards that have an added feature to the account that will help the cardholder build a positive credit file. There are a handful of these cards that have this added feature.
The AccountNow cards have a credit building feature that enables cardholders to build a credit history. The service they offer is called Credit Builder, and there is no cost for cardholders to partcipate. By activating AccountNow's bill pay feature, you can pay monthly bills like your rent and utilities, online. AccountNow reports your payments to PRBC, a national credit reporting agency. PRBC is not one of the three major credit reporting agencies, but according to AccountNow, home loan associations like Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and Citicorp Mortgage use bill payment information as part of their decision making process for home loans. By paying your bills you are creating a positive credit file with this credit reporting agency.
Building Credit with Prepaid Cards
You can build your credit with a prepaid card, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, the credit agency the prepaid card reports to is important. For example, the AccountNow cards use PRBC, so this is only useful if the lender you are going through uses PRBC to make decisions on whether to make a loan to you or not. If you have established a positive credit history with PRBC, but nobody uses that agency then it's useless. Another thing to keep in mind is that it only works if you pay your bills with your prepaid card. The only information the prepaid card company passes along is if you pay your bills. If you don't use your prepaid card to pay your bills, then you can't establish a positive file. If you are someone who doesn't have many options when it comes to building your credit, then a prepaid card might just be the best way to go. They are a great way to manage your money, especially for people who don't have other options and can't get a traditional bank account.

If "Falling" had been made in Britain or Romania — or some other country with a tradition for gritty and introspective dramatic filmmaking — it would have been hailed as a dark minor masterpiece.
But "Falling" was made in Hollywood, not by a studio filmmaker but by indie director Richard Dutcher, an ex-Mormon from Utah working with a shoestring budget and casting himself as the star. Maybe this brooding, tough-minded tale of moral dilemmas, first released in 2008 and put on the shelf by Dutcher since then, will get the recognition it deserves anyway.
Richard Dutcher confronts moral dilemmas on L.A.'s mean streets in this tough, bloody drama.
Where » Broadway Centre Cinemas.
When » Opens Friday, April 27.
Rating » R for strong brutal violence, bloody images and language.
Running time » 84 minutes.
Dutcher in person
"Falling's" writer-director-star Richard Dutcher will make an in-person appearance after Friday's 7 p.m. screening at the Broadway, 111 E. 300 South, Salt Lake City. Admission for that one screening is $10.

Dutcher — who famously left The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints after making two well-received movies about his Mormon faith, "God's Army" and "Brigham City" — gets our attention with the opening sequence, a wrenching scene in which his character, Eric, is confronted with grief and guilt in a single moment. In that moment, he looks up to God and, through sobs of rage and sadness, says something quite shocking.
Dutcher's script then takes us back four days, to see how Eric got to this point. He's an L.A. videographer, shooting bloody crime scenes and selling the footage to local TV stations. He came to L.A. with dreams of being a great filmmaker, but his job is killing his dream and his spirit.
"I'm not supposed to be like this," he tells his wife, Davey (Virginia Reece). "I was a missionary." (Indeed, we see a flashback of a young Eric as an LDS missionary — with footage of a younger Dutcher from "God's Army.")
One day, Eric gets footage of a crime in progress: three gang members stabbing a man to death. His moral dilemmas compound, as he must decide whether to put down the camera and help the victim — and, later, decide what to do with the footage, and the fallout when the gang members learn their crime is on tape.
Meanwhile, Davey has her own crisis of conscience. She's a struggling actress who could get her big break with the lead role in an indie film — but only if she submits to the infamous "casting couch."
Dutcher and cinematographer Jim Orr go for broke with a rough handheld look that matches Eric's emotional and spiritual freefall. Dutcher pushes the violence to uncomfortable levels, but it doesn't feel gratuitous — merely a reflection of the bloody mess that Eric has made of his life.
And for all that, "Falling" turns out to be as spiritually moving as the movies Dutcher made when he was still a practicing Mormon. Dutcher asks hard questions — of himself, of the audience, and of God — and leaves the answers for each of us to discover.

An offal experienceWritten by Lori Moffatt | Published September 25, 2009
What's up with offal? Seems as though every menu I see these days has some form of offal on it, whether it's sweetbreads or lamb's hearts or some delicacy long treasured in Europe or Mexico, but only now (at least that I'm aware) earning praise in America. At Austin's East Side Showroom (a new, noisy restaurant in the freshly hip section of East 6th Street), I enjoyed a truly delicious salad of local field greens with cornmeal-crusted sweetbreads (that's pancreas and thymus glands, y'all), then another night at Vino Vino, a wine bar on Guadalupe, I tried its version of sweetbreads on the appetizer menu. (Love Vino Vino for the topnotch wine selection and cozy, clubby ambiance.) At then at Olivia, the South Lamar restaurant, recently lauded by Bon Appetit as one of American's top ten new restaurants, the chef served an intriguing appetizer of bacon-wrapped jalapeno stuffed with lamb's heart. The owner told me he takes pride in serving the whole animal, "from the rooter to the pooter." Anthony Bourdain, eat your heart out. Ahem.

Take a seat, enjoy the showWritten by Lois M. Rodriguez | Published August 18, 2009
Since I moved from Houston and an office smack dab in the middle of the city's incredible Theater District, I have to admit that I've been woefully neglectful of taking in as much live theater. I mean to, and I do miss going as often as I did. Lately, I've been getting back into the swing of things. I've seen a couple of touring musicals ("Wicked" and "Mama Mia"), enjoyed readings by the legendary Maya Angelou and the hilarious writer David Sedaris, as well as some local performances.
I forget, until I'm there, how important and good it feels to witness the art of live performance; of people entertaining people, sharing and communicating in music, dance, words, comedy and movement. This kind of creative expression, I believe, is inherent to our humanity. There's nothing like it. The best thing is, no matter where you are, big city or small town, there are plenty of opportunities to take in a show.
It would do us good to get back to being better audiences; in major performance halls, restored historic theaters, community halls and in wide open spaces under the great Texas sky.
So when you travel, or stay home, consider live performances as one of the options when asking, "So, what should we do today?"
What performance/venue would you suggest for your neck of the woods?

Trip AdvisorsWritten by Jane Wu | Published July 23, 2009
Sometimes a trip out-of-state helps me appreciate what information a tourist needs and wants. I shouldn't admit this, but on a recent visit to Chicago I discovered that I barely cracked open my usual requisite guidebook, and instead relied on the Internet and an I-Phone (my two "I's") to show me the sights, book reservations and point me in the right direction. Still, I firmly believe print has a place for the tourist, if only to whet the appetite to explore. That's where I hope Texas Highways comes in handy each month, showing travelers out-of-the-way places as well as revisiting well-known areas in new ways. And offering helpful tips along the way.
That said, I hope you find our recently redesigned and streamlined Essentials sections, maps and info boxes offer a handy guide to phone numbers and web sites at a glance.

I often catch a glimpse of the furry fliers when I drive over Ladybird Lake at daybreak, one by one, they dart from the sky, back to their bridge abode.

I change my password every 60 days as a force of habit from working in banks for years. The only thing I can think of is when bioware got hacked a few months ago.

I couldn't log into XBL for about two weeks. Then I got an email saying my case was closed, and there was no fraudulent activity. So I called right back, had them reopen it, and they sent it back. Another two weeks without XBL later, and I get an email saying all my points have been refunded, and here's three free months of XBL Gold for the hassle.
In the end, MS ended up doing the right thing, but I was so peeved when I got that first email.

Have you ever signed up with any of EA's BS accounts, Mr. Right? If so, that's the answer.
Posted 25 October 2011 - 03:12 AM
In the other thread(s) about this, it was narrowed down to an EA breach.
Have you ever signed up with any of EA's BS accounts, Mr. Right? If so, that's the answer.
I had Mass Effect linked to my gamertag and thats where I'm guessing the breach came from. Also to answer the guy who said that my info was taken from elsewhere my password on xbox is only used for xbox. More then likely because I linked my ea to it via the in game menu I used the same password which is something I never do. Therefor blame ea or blame microsoft either way it wasn't me. Biosoft's little security breach is being a pain for me because I didn't even consider the fact that it was linked to my gamertag.
By the shear number of people that its happened to its not likely that so many people gave out their information to the wrong people but more likely that it was overlooked like mine was. In short xbox should do more to block accts being accessed from an entirely different part of the world just like I should have double checked to make sure that there was nothing linked to my bioware account.

damn I wish I would of saw this earlier, I was hit too
Here's the other thread, I like that one better since it at least has "FIFA" and "hack" in the title for those searching.
I posted my hackstory there today. If you're willing to give Microsoft your account for 25 days, then you can get your points back.

Two issues here:
1. They NEED a console ID? What if I don't have a 360, and I just make purchases via Zune? It's perfectly logical that I could use MS Points strictly for that purpose if I didn't trust putting a credit card into their system (which obviously I never would.)
2. $120? Really? For $80 more, I could just buy a new system and pop my hard drive into it. And he told me if they fix it, it's only covered for 30 days. From what I've been reading online, this E74 tends to come back after a while on refurb systems. No thanks MS. I'll stick to PS3.
Getting rid of all my 360 stuff tomorrow. I know Sony had their whole debacle, but I didn't have any issues, and I'm constantly reading about people suffering this fate on MS's side, and MS seems to refuse to acknowledge there's a severe security issue, or do anything about it. My password isn't weak, it contained a number, capital letters, and multiple symbols. I especially appreciated the guy on the phone telling me "Well I see this happened a few months ago to you...maybe you need to come up with a better password using some capital letters and symbols."
Yes, I know how to create a password, jackass. Maybe the company you work for needs to learn how to create a secure marketplace where these issues don't run rampent.

danish naughty words
kept this up for a week and spent every night in it!
3 weeks left! heres a tiny parcel of whats going through my mind
on the one hand, i am ready to leave. i feel like ive grown out of the "exchange student" role, meaning, i feel like i fit in to the culture now more than i stand out. i get annoyed sometimes of living with a danish family and relying on other people when its so more natural to just be living on my own and being with danish friends. my way of life now is so independent i dont need to rely on others for help in the language, culture, or way of life and i find myself so easily navigating on my own. so i rather be here on my own most times than as an exchange student, it will be great to come back and experience that.
on the other hand, its so very hard to part with things that will never be the same.my two best friends, charlotte and hermione, for example, will be leaving too and we might never be together in denmark again. i can of course visit them, but its not quite the same. after being together day after day for months on end, its so strange that the three of us will now be taking to three seperate continents!
also, no matter how many times i go back and visit my gymnasium,i will never again be a student there, and when i think about that i just want to cry. my school has been the best part of this experience, and probably the number one reason i fell in love with denmark. its just been incredible, i have so much to tell on that. and it breaks my heart to know i'll never have that again, and to leave my class behind, even when i see them all again soon, i wont be their "classmate" anymore.
through it all im trying to always stay positive and think about new doors being opened in this journey of life! so much has happened in this year and just think what can happen in the years ahead!

Grill-roasted Vegetable Pita Sandwiches with Grilled Lamb
Roasting summer produce--eggplant, tomato, zucchini, and peppers--on a baking sheet on the grill yields silky, melt-in-your-mouth vegetables. We tuck them into pita pockets with or without chunks of skewer-grilled lamb. Prep and Cook Time: 1 1/2 hours, plus at least 3 hours marinating time. Notes: Vegetables can be grilled a day ahead and refrigerated, covered. Allow to come to room temperature and toss in feta and walnuts before serving. If you're using regular-size pitas, this filling makes enough for 4 or 5.
Yield: Makes 8 to 10 mini pita sandwiches or 4 or 5 regular-size pita sandwiches

Kiera Wilmot was a model student by all accounts. Following a fellow high school student's directions, she mixed some cleaning chemicals with aluminum foil, expecting nothing more than some smoke in what Kiera characterized as a science experiment. According to school officials and her own account, she was motivated by curiosity rather than malice. She had no intent to hurt anyone or do any damage. Indeed, her experiment on the school grounds produced a tiny explosion and some smoke without hurting anyone or damaging any property.
Kiera was arrested, expelled from school, and charged with two felony counts of discharging a destructive device and possession/discharge of a weapon on school grounds. She was to be tried as an adult until public outcry persuaded the prosecutors to dismiss the charges.
Can my child be charged as an adult?
Despite a juvenile justice system that seeks to rehabilitate youngsters rather than incarcerate them, a get-tough-on-juvenile-crime sentiment swept Florida in the last couple of decades and resulted in some draconian results for juvenile offenders. Children as young as 14 can be charged, tried and sentenced as adults under Florida laws. How does a child end up in adult court?
There are several ways your child's juvenile offense can end up being transferred to the adult court system where he or she will be treated as an adult:
Kiera or any other child in this situation faces very serious consequences. The rehabilitative programs of the juvenile court system are not available to children charged as adult offenders. Kiera's adult charges could result in a prison sentence and a lifelong felony record affecting her future education and employment, and robbing her of the right to vote or own a firearm.

Sweet Seventeen
So I'm a little over a week away from winter break of my senior year and I already have senioritis. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've had it since the end of junior year, but who's really been counting the days?
Jacob comes back next week. Jacob, the boy I pined for and finally had a relationship with. Jacob, who went away to college but never wasn't talking to me. Jacob, who claimed I was the only thing keeping him sane - he was coming back for me. Jacob, who came back and loved me and made me realize all that was good in the world. Jacob, who told me one night that he had kissed another girl and all he had said to make me feel so special was lies. Jacob, who claimed he couldn't trust me, then left again, and gave up trying.
It's just a name, right? Jacob. He's just a boy and I'm just a girl and there really is no reason for me to be getting so worked up over just a boy. He's only human. Then why do I find myself terrified at the fact that I will never get over him. He claims I am all he has but he doesn't see how low I am on his list of priorities, because everything above me is so natural to him. I'm not really all that. He just wants to believe I am.
So it's a Wednesday night and I want to go to sleep but I have to wait til mom comes home for dinner. Then workout. Then shower. Then sleep. Another two whole days til I can actually see my friends and just relax.
I'm 17. Why does it feel like this?

ROCHESTER, Minn. – Motorists traveling to the Medford Outlet Center and businesses on the west side of Interstate 35 north of Owatonna are able to use Exit 48 again after it re-opened on Tuesday, July 15, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Exit 48 had been closed for nearly six weeks as part of an $833,000 project that replaced two roundabouts and made improvements to the traffic ramps.

To reach the city of Medford and its businesses, motorists should take Steele County Road 9 east to Steele County Road 45 north. Steele County has closed the west access to Medford from exit 48 as the county replaces a bridge over the Straight River on Steele County Road 12 (Central Avenue West).
MnDOT urges motorists to always be attentive, drive with caution, slow down in work zones and never enter a road blocked with barriers or cones.
For real-time traffic and travel information anywhere in Minnesota, visit www.511mn.org, call 5-1-1 or log on to www.mndot.gov.
Central Avenue West/County Road 12 is also scheduled for construction beginning in June. Central Avenue will be closed from June to November, tentatively. Please contact City Hall with any questions, 507-455-2866.

Torres to DL, Bowker recalled from Fresno, plus tonight's lineup
Andres Torres' left hamstring has landed him on the disabled list for the second time. John Bowker, who was demoted Monday, has been recalled to provide outfield depth. Demoted players can be returned before 10 days if there's an injury. Tonight's lineup against the Phils' Cy Young acquisition Cliff Lee: Winn RF, Velez LF, Sandoval […] [Read More]
V-Mart to Red Sox, Nick Johnson to Marlins
Over the weeks leading to the deadline, I and others reported that the Giants were interested in a couple of the players who were moved today. The Indians traded catcher/first baseman Victor Martinez to the Indians for a package of players that included reliever Justin Masterson, one of Boston's top young pitchers. The Marlins acquired […] [Read More]
No more deals for now
I've just been told the Giants did not make any last-minute deadline deals. But remember, waiver deals are always possible in August and easier to pull off than before because teams in this economy are less willing to try to block a waiver deal for fear they'll be stuck with an unwanted player and his […] [Read More]
Andres Torres update, plus Richie goes deep (hint, not in San Fran)
Manager Bruce Bochy told us after the game that outfielder Andres Torres has strained his left hamstring, the same one he hurt in late April, but this episode does not seem as serious. He will be reassessed Saturday. The Giants seem to be short on outfielders, although Velez can play out there and Aaron Rowand […] [Read More]
Sabean not confident about more deals, says Frandsen is staying put
I just got off the phone with general manager Brian Sabean after I asked him for a brief update. While the Giants might want to trade for a starter, Sabean does not seem optimistic about a deal. "The list of potential names isn't very enticing against what the cost of doing business is," Sabean said. […] [Read More]
UPDATE: A few pre-pre-pregame notes plus a lineup with no Freddy Sanchez or Randy Winn
– I do believe the Giants made a push for Nick Johnson or Josh Willingham from Washington, but I heard that the Nationals decided they wanted to hold on to Willingham and Adam Dunn because, really, the only solid thing they have moving forward is their middle-order trio of Ryan Zimmerman, Dunn and Willingham. The […] [Read More]

UPDATE: Giants acquire Freddy Sanchez for Tim Alderson
The Giants have acquired Pirates second baseman Freddy Sanchez in a one-for-one deal for minor-league pitcher Tim Alderson. As several media outlets have reported, Giants doctors re-examined Sanchez's left knee today and reportedly found no major defects. It became more apparent the deal was getting done this afternoon after the game when reporter Dejan Kovacevic […] [Read More]
Postgame notes on tonight's pitching
I gave the pitching short-shrift in my game story, as I had to shoehorn information about Eugenio Velez, potential trades, Nate Schierholtz's trip to the DL and pregame comments from Ryan Garko into the space. But the pitching did a nice job again against a Pirates offense that looks pretty sickly without Freddy Sanchez, who […] [Read More]
More on Freddy Sanchez
My friend Ken Rosenthal at Foxsports.com reported that Giants medical personnel examined Freddy Sanchez's injured knee last night.

although i'm not sure what context you're asking, as in general or homestuck? because the homestuck answer is going to be the panel palete with the most green
was it specifically a homestuck image or was it a zodiac image in general? that's… going to be very hard to find ;a;
i'm sort of confused about this because are you talking about canon insults or fan-made??
have you gone into the settings for your computer and changed it from there?
that would be great, waiting is fine on our end!
That depends on whether someone is willing to write one!
If we're just talking about general here, I can't help but try and boost how many people know about http://rpedia.tumblr.com/ — it's a fantastic rp blog, and while I'm not sure if it's majority audience is Homestuck, almost everything it posts can be applied to Homestuck.
So at the moment I'm trying to sort of avoid posting any more fantroll guides because of rpedia and the resources we already have reblogged on here — but character guides are still welcomed. I have to stress that myself and Nick don't actually write these, so they depend on submission from other people!!
I think Equius is a hard character to get right if you don't fully understand him, so a guide on him would be lovely and much appreciated!

From Energy Security to Environmental Protection: Understanding Swings in the Energy Policy Pendulum
Energy policies of petroleum-importing countries are not determined only by the price of oil. Since 1973 energy policy has also responded to changing perceptions of externalities associated with the energy system and the appropriate role for government in the economy. In that spirit, this article explores the parallels between the quest for energy security 20 years ago and for global environmental protection at present. The latter explains why the argument that government intervention in the energy sector should be minimized is once again viewed critically.

UFO sightings reach near-record numbers in Canada
The number of UFO sightings reported in Canada during 2013 was 1,180. According to UFOlogy Research, this is the second highest number of sightings recorded in the past twenty five years.
The Winnipeg-based group compiles data to publish its annual Canadian UFO Survey. The 2013 survey, which was published on Monday, March 10, explains that 2013 was bested only by 2012, when approximately 2,000 UFO sightings were reported. UFOlogy Research director Chris Rutkowski suggests that 2012′s incredible spike in sightings was likely an anomaly due to the excitement surrounding 2012 and the Mayan Calendar, causing more people to report mundane lights in the sky as UFOs.
Based on the survey, more than forty percent of Canada's 2013 UFO reports were in Ontario. And the typical sighting lasted approximately thirteen minutes. But more interestingly, based on the data, approximately fourteen percent of Canada's 2013 UFO reports were classified as unexplained.
As the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation explains, although the Canadian government and its various federal agencies used to track and investigate UFOs, "it's now up to civilian volunteers to report what's going on up in the sky."
Although Canada's 2013 UFO reports reached a near-record high, the number pales in comparison to the number of UFO reports in the United States. According to the Mutual UFO Network, there were 6,457 U.S. UFO sighting reports filed in 2013. . X

Roswell, NM selected as drone training area
Posted by Anonymous on March 2, 2014
Pretty soon there will be something a little different flying about Roswell, and it doesn't have anything to do with aliens.
An international aerospace company has picked Roswell as a drone training ground.
No, they're not UFO's, they're UAV's. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, in other words drones. And come summer unmanned drones will be flying the New Mexico sky. An international company, Strategic Aerospace, is setting up a drone pilot training center in Roswell.
The program will start with 30 air force academy graduates. They will eat, sleep, and fly drones for three months straight at the airport. The drones are battery operated and can't stay in the air longer than 20 minutes.
"They never go over 400 feet, but they're 80 knots. They're pretty fast little things," said Captain Bruce Oaster of Strategic Aerospace International. And believe it or not, they only weigh 35 pounds.
"It's all lightweight plastic. It's like the plastic airplanes you used to put together as a kid," said Oaster.
Only these cost $100,000 apiece.
Pilots will practice take-offs and landings, controlling the flights from a remote control on the ground.
About three will be in the air at a time.
After pilots fly these for three months, they will earn certification.
"There's countless jobs now coming on the market in agriculture, security, surveillance, law enforcement, the military, they fly pipelines," said Oaster.
The company says the drones will only be flying over a limited area at the airport. The company assures they won't be flying all over Roswell and definitely won't be flying over homes …
The links between the military and UFOs are numerous and curious.

UFOs in leaked Snowden documents
Posted by Anonymous on February 25, 2014
A number of people have asked, if there is a government UFO cover-up, why haven't documents relating to them turned up in the massive intelligence leak by Edward Snowden. Well, in a new document released at 'The Intercept, the new website devoted to publishing information about the leaks, the flying saucers have arrived. Though where they've turned up might be cause for concern for the Fox Mulder's out there.
That document is a Powerpoint presentation from the British intelligence agency GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters), titled simply enough "The Art of Deception: Training for a New Generation of Online Covert Operations", in which three of the fifty slides are images of 'UFOs'. Unfortunately, there is no text related to the images, so there could be a number of reasons for them being included – from pointing out people's belief systems, through to them possibly being part of actual psychological operations (psy-ops). The only clue might be that the images are listed under a heading of "Influence and Information Operations".
Besides the UFO references, there are a number of allusions to magic, from the mission statement to produce "cyber-magicians", to another slide listing the historical involvement of professional magicians with psy-ops, through to finishing with an image of Teller beside a quote, "Conjuring with Information".
Glenn Greenwald has written some commentary on the latest release of documents, pointing out how they show intelligence agencies are intentionally manipulating online discussions:
Among the core self-identified purposes of JTRIG are two tactics: (1) to inject all sorts of false material onto the internet in order to destroy the reputation of its targets; and (2) to use social sciences and other techniques to manipulate online discourse and activism to generate outcomes it considers desirable. To see how extremist these programs are, just consider the tactics they boast of using to achieve those ends: "false flag operations" (posting material to the internet and falsely attributing it to someone else), fake victim blog posts (pretending to be a victim of the individual whose reputation they want to destroy), and posting "negative information" on various forums.
Returning to the topic of UFOs, writer/film-maker Mark Pilkington is well-acquainted with the dual topic of UFOs and intelligence agency deceptions via the intensive research he did for his book and related documentary Mirage Men. On his blog, Mark notes that "it's clear that [intelligence agencies] consider the UFO subject, its attendant beliefs, and the vocal community surrounding it, to be a useful field of operations for their activities". He also points out that not much has changed in the last six decades, given the similarities between the newly released document and a research paper released in 1950 titled "Exploitation of Superstitions for Purposes of Psychological Warfare" – right down to the listing of magicians who have participated in psy-ops.
If you'd like to learn more about this subject, take a look at the lecture Mark gave a couple of years ago (embedded below), titled "The Abuses of Enchantment: Folklore and Deception in the Disinformation Age":
As Greenwald points out, "these GCHQ documents are the first to prove that a major western government is using some of the most controversial techniques to disseminate deception online… Claims that government agencies are infiltrating online communities and engaging in "false flag operations" to discredit targets are often dismissed as conspiracy theories, but these documents leave no doubt they are doing precisely that… No government should be able to engage in these tactics". …
The second image is one of the German "Virl" craft, if you believe that alternate history. See this:
The image was supposedly taken by near St Austell, Cornwall at around 5pm on August 1, 1995 by an unnamed witness:
Spotting a UFO is not the kind of sight-seeing you expect to find when you go on holiday. But that is exactly what one man chanced upon without even realising it when he thought he was taking a picturesque photograph of the sea. The witness had been taking a stroll in Black Head at Trenarren near St Austell, Cornwall at around 5pm on August 1, when he pulled out his camera to capture a snap of the sea. In a strange twist, it was not until he later downloaded the photograph from his digital camera onto his computer that he noticed the mysterious 'flying object' hovering above. The photograph of the circular object has now been unveiled at the Cornwall UFO Research Group (CUFORG), which was founded by Dave Gillham in 1995. He said: 'The person who took the photo never saw anything in the area while taking the photo. 'It was only when he got home and downloaded it onto his computer that he saw an object – a disc shaped craft, hovering just above the sea. 'There appear to be two trails of water beneath the object which looks as though they are falling from it in to the sea. 'It could be that the object has just emerged from the sea.'

Rhode Island witness reports silent triangle UFO hovering over field
Posted by Anonymous on February 21, 2014
A Rhode Island witness at Warwick reported encountering a silent, hovering, triangle-shaped UFO along a dark roadway about 6:20 p.m. on February 17, 2014, according to testimony in Case 54136 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was driving home along East Warwick Avenue when he noticed lights over a nearby field and first thought it was an airplane about the crash.
"But then as I got closer I realized it wasn't moving and slowed down trying to figure out what I was looking at." the witness stated.
The witness brought his vehicle to a complete stop.
"I was staring right at a large ship. I knew this was no plane or blimp or anything I've seen in my life. It was so shiny like fresh polished chrome and was triangular and had a smooth curve on the top that was shiny, but very dark like black."
The witness described the object's lights.
"There were red lights that stayed on and white lights that were so ultra white on the sides, it seemed like it only illuminated the craft. Nothing around it was illuminated and the reflection from the white like pulsated off the craft as well as green lights that did the same, but at the bottom. When I was further up the road the lights seemed to span out in the air. When I was stopped it was just the craft pulsating."
The witness realized the object made no sound and was confused.
"There was no noise at all. At first I was confused and when it sunk in what it was, I was in awe and then felt very uneasy. I got nervous. It's a very dark road and I saw headlights in both directions, so keeping my eye on it constantly and looking back, I made a U-turn to go back and tape it."
The witness then looked away from just a few seconds, and looking back the object had disappeared.
"I felt a little scared. I drove all the way back down the road very slowly. There was nothing in the field or in the sky, not even a light in the distance. There were two people who were walking down the road who were now running. I was completely freaked out at this point and turned around and went back down the road again to go home, and still not a thing in sight. There were two people walking and at least three other cars passed. There are houses on the road and also a high school. I hope more witnesses come forward. It was truly an experience to be so close and get such a good look. I have goose bumps writing this."
Warwick is a city in Kent County, RI, population 82,672. No images or videos were included with the MUFON report, which was filed on February 18, 2014. Rhode Island has a UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Rhode Island had a one UFO report in January 2014 – the 47th highest reporting state – while California had 102 reports – the highest reporting state in the nation.
Awesome description, but how did this triangle manage to find the one person in Rhode Island without a cell phone camera? Take a picture, video. and then call the local cops.
It is probably some secret military craft, hopefully ours. Worse is if it belongs to another government. What freaks me out is the reptilian possibility.

Amazon customers review UFO detector – and it's hilarious
Posted by Anonymous on December 10, 2013
"More than 1/3 of Americans believe in UFO's and one in 10 Americans believe that they have seen a UFO according to a study by National Geographic Channel. UFO sightings are reported all over the planet by thousands of people. The real question is whether UFO's are interstellar vehicles visiting Earth? Most UFO sightings can be classified as misidentified aircraft, planets or other aerial phenomena, but not all of them. There is a small percentage of UFO sightings that can't be explained by any known aircraft or natural phenomena. It is this small percentage of UFO sightings that create an exciting possibility. Over the years real UFO sightings have reported simultaneous electromagnetic disturbances. The UFO Detector is designed to sense these electromagnetic disturbances and signal their detection flashing 16 LED's simultaneously and beeping. The elegantly designed transparent plastic case is a handsome sculptured conversation piece that's allows one to see the electronics inside the case. Suitable for display on a desk, shelf or bedroom dresser."
Amazon seems to be doing quite well with the product since there are currently more than a hundred reviews on the site with an overall rating of 3.4 out of 5 stars. And, most are about what would be expected:
"I am very satisfied with this product and will recommend it to all of the human race" writes James O'Brien.
R. J. Reid reports: "This little gizmo is a bargain at twice the price and much more accurate than the voices in my head."
And "This amazing device gives ample warning and is HIGHLY ACCURATE. I had a pretty good idea of when there was abnormal activity in my area. BUT NOW, DAMN. Every time that I notice distorted sensory emissions, bang, the detector is going off! WOOT WOOT WOOT!" says They Are Everywhere.
But, as with just about any mass produced product these days, it's not all raves. Cyphis complains that "I don't know if this is a scam or if mine was broken, but it doesn't work and I am still getting abducted by UFO's on a regular basis." …

Obama makes history — mentions Area 51
Posted by Anonymous on December 10, 2013
The annual Kennedy Center Honors reception isn't normally a place to break news, but President Obama opted Sunday to publicly mention Area 51 — the installation where the government is supposedly storing UFOs and alien life, the inspiration for innumerable conspiracy theories.
The reason: Oscar-winning actress Shirley MacLaine and her claims to have seen UFOs and extraterrestrial beings.
"Now, when you first become president, one of the questions that people ask you is, 'What's really going on in Area 51?'" Obama said to chuckles at the White House event.
"When I wanted to know, I'd call Shirley MacLaine."
Obama added: "I think I just became the first president to ever publicly mention Area 51. How's that, Shirley?"
The other Kennedy Center honorees were musicians Billy Joel, Carlos Santana, Herbie Hancock, and opera star Martina Arroyo.
NEWS: Kennedy Center honorees saluted
As for MacLaine and Area 51, Time magazine noted:
"The president couldn't resist the opportunity to joke about the decades of conspiracy theories surrounding mysterious lights and aliens at the Nevada installation. …
"The official use for the Nevada Test and Training Range and Groom Lake — the formal name for the facility commonly known as Area 51 — is far less otherworldly. It's been the testing ground for government programs, including the U-2 spy plane and various stealth aircraft."

FBI drone ambitions date back to the 1990s
Posted by Anonymous on December 10, 2013
The FBI began experimenting with drones in 1995, but didn't view them as a viable option for video surveillance until a full decade later. Since then, however, the agency appears to have slowly but steadily moved forward in building its drone program. Now, details of that program have been revealed in a series of recently released documents sent to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington CREW, an advocacy group that issued a Freedom of Information Act request in June. Though CREW was interested in learning what company provided the FBI's drones and where the purchases' funding came from, that information is largely redacted. Even so, the documents do reveal quite a bit about the program's development, including how the FBI has been using drones and what it plans to do with them in the future.The documents show that the FBI's first operational drone deployment was in October, 2006. Drone use was "limited over the next four years," the documents read, noting that funding issues and compliance with Federal Aviation Administration FAA regulations were major limiting factors. While the FBI's Technical Response Unit oversaw its drone program at first, the program was transferred to its Video Surveillance Unit in 2009, at which point drone "inventory and missions began to increase." The documents suggest that this wasn't so much a matter of the new unit utilizing them more, but that agents began to better understand what drones were capable of.

We're the Ones Flying UFOs?
Posted by Anonymous on September 26, 2013
By definition, UFOs should not be built.
In order to have an "unidentified flying object," the origins of said object must be unknown. And yet, technically, we know how to identify UFOs – or at least as pop culture has imagined them. They are flying saucers covered with lights that float through the air like spinning plates. Or something. Some people spend their lives looking for one, others fear what would happen if they were abducted by one.
Yet, artist Peter Coffin has built one.
"The question I get excited about is "Well, why did you make the UFO in the first place? Isn't a UFO something that people don't make? Isn't it supposed to be an alien thing?"" Coffin told WIRED. "Does it make it more real or less real at that point because it's man-made?"
Coffin didn't build his UFO because he's particularly interested in alien spacecraft. Instead, his flying saucer, which flew over Station to Station"s Barstow event Tuesday, is meant to be thought-provoking – to make people contemplate why we look to the skies hoping to see UFOs, even if we'd be horrified to actually see one. (You know, because it could mean an invasion.)
Think about it. Some folks, like the team at the SETI Institute, scan the heavens actively seeking out life elsewhere in the universe. Other people would spot a flying saucer and immediately feel terrified by whatever life forms might be inside. Hollywood does the same thing: sometimes intergalactic visitors are E.T., cute and cuddly and obsessed with Reese's Pieces, while others are predatory monsters looking to drain Earth of its resources or enslave its people. …
Walking onto the build site for the UFO before the test run in Barstow – which was actually conducted in a nearby cemetery – Coffin smiled like a kid when he saw his creation again. "It's going to be great to see this thing fly." Folks from Cinimod Studio and Prolyte Group, which helped Coffin design and build the contraption, scurried around affixing lights and GoPro cameras to the 1,800-pound aluminum structure and securing its on-board computer. They make it look easy, but Cinimod Studio founder Dominic Harris noted there wasn't much prior art for something like this. "This was massively over-engineered," he said. …
Human built circular winged aircraft have been around for a long time, but that is supposed to be a secret. You are supposed to think "Aliens!" if you see one. I'm not saying they are all manmade… But some are and if you make a good one–Coffin has nothing to worry about, his circular lit platform is held up with wires using an unseen helicopter or balloon–you have an accident and then your design never got of the ground, never actually flew, nothing to see here folks.

5,000 year old flying machine found in Afghanistan?
Posted by Anonymous on September 21, 2013
What caused the sudden rush of these most powerful leaders of the Western World to go to Afghanistan, this report continues, was to directly view the discovery by US Military scientists of what is described as a "Vimana" entrapped in a "Time Well"
that has already caused the "disappearance" of at least 8 American Soldiers trying to remove it from the cave it has been hidden in for the past estimated 5,000 years.
What an amazing load of unsubstantiated wishful thinking about what we must reasonably assume are ancient works of fiction. Belief in outrageous claims without evidence is a solid definition of crazy. I have a few Vimanas around here somewhere…

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
The Truth Behind 10 Diet Myths
Oct. 28, 2008 -- True or false: You'll get fat if you eat at night, high fructose corn syrup makes you gain weight, and caffeine is bad for you.
Those are all diet myths that got busted today in Chicago at the American Dietetic Association's annual meeting.
Diet Videos
Related Slideshows
Meet the diet myth busters:
- Christine Rosenbloom, PhD, RD, CSSD, of Georgia State University in Atlanta
- Roberta Duyff, MS, RD, FADA, CFCS, the St. Louis-based author of the American Dietetic Association Complete Food and Nutrition Guide.
Here are 10 diet myths Rosenbloom shattered at the conference, and Duyff's tips on telling diet fact from diet fiction.
Myth: Eating at night makes you fat.
Reality: Calories count, whenever you eat them.
There's no proof for this myth, Rosenbloom says. She notes some small studies with mixed results, tests on animals, and a belief that because eating breakfast is linked to lower BMI, eating at night isn't as good. But all in all, Rosenbloom says, it's your calorie total that matters, day or night.
Myth: Avoid foods with a high glycemic index.
Reality: You could use the glycemic index to adjust your food choices, but don't make it your sole strategy for losing weight or controlling blood sugar, Rosenbloom says.
"For those people that are already counting carbs, this can be a way for them to fine-tune their food choices, but it isn't the be-all, end-all for weight loss," she says.
Myth: High fructose corn syrup causes weight gain.
Reality: "There's probably nothing particularly evil about high fructose corn syrup, compared to regular old sugar," Rosenbloom says.
She explains that this diet myth arose in 2003, when researchers noticed that obesity was rising along with the use of high fructose corn syrup. "They speculated that ... maybe we handle [high fructose corn syrup] differently than we do sugar," but "there really isn't any evidence to support that," she says.
The American Medical Association recently concluded that high fructose corn syrup doesn't contribute to obesity beyond its calories.
Myth: Caffeine is unhealthy.
Reality: Rosenbloom says there is some evidence that caffeine may have a positive effect on some diseases, including gout and Parkinson's disease, besides caffeine's famous alertness buzz.
Also, caffeine doesn't dehydrate people who consume it regularly, Rosenbloom says.
But she cautions that caffeine isn't always listed on product labels, and children who drink a lot of caffeinated energy drinks may get more caffeine than their parents expect. "Kids tend to guzzle these things, whereas an adult may sip a beverage," Rosenbloom says.
Myth: The less fat you eat, the better.
Reality: "For some people, counting fat grams can work for weight control, but it isn't the be-all end-all for people," Rosenbloom says.
She says that people with heart disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome may benefit from adding a little healthy fat -- the monounsaturated kind -- and cutting back on carbohydrates. But they shouldn't increase their overall fat intake -- just swap saturated fat for monounsaturated fat.
"If you go out to an Italian restaurant and you have triple cheese-meat-sausage lasagna but then you have a little olive oil on your bread, you're not doing much for your heart," Rosenbloom says.

First, the goblin topplers got off way too easy ("Utah 'goblin topplers' sentenced to probation," Tribune, March 18). They need to split court costs and legal fees and pay a fine of at least $10,000 each, which isn't nearly enough.
Second, they need to spend the entire coming year visiting every Boy Scout troop in Utah and giving the boys a lesson on how important our environment and our public lands are/should be to Americans/Utahns.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Third, then they should teach those Boy Scouts how to behave in a national/state park. I know it was leaders who toppled the goblins, not the boys, but I also know that boys grow up to be leaders.
Fourth, they probably should pay for a few signs, but placing them throughout an area only means I have to look at an incredible rock formation with the sign in front of it. What kind of a photo is that? Can we put a sign in front of stupid instead?

The 5 X 8 rug arrived in just 5 days after ordering, much quicker than expected. I was nervous when opening the very large rolled package wondering how I would ever be able to package it to return if it was not what I wanted. No need to worry. The colors were perfect for the room, even better than I had hoped. The thickness and weight are very satisfactory, close to other very expensive orientals I have in my living and dining rooms. This one is in my office in the area under my desk and I am so pleased I am thinking of ordering a smaller version for another area of the room.
Just what I wanted-great colors-great price-arrived quickly.
Received the runner, a 3 x 4 and the 5 x 7. Colors are wonderfully rich and look fabulous on our gunstock wood floors. Rugs are thick and heavy enough they don't slide around, even without a slip pad. Extremely happy with the quality. Would highly recommend for someone who needs this color combination.
I have purchased two sizes of this rug, and am pleased with the quality. Their colors match the new room we are decorating, and seem very accurate to the colors on overstock's website. I was a bit disappointed that the pattern looked thicker and more juvenile than the image on the screen. I thought it would have the intricacy of an oriental rug pattern. But other than that, I am happy with them, and will keep them.
My husband & I have been very pleased with this rug. It is well-made, plush, luxurious, and tasteful. We like it so much that we purchased a second, smaller one for the adjoining space in our home. The colors are understated and do not overwhelm the rest of the room. My only complaint with it at all is that it could stand to be a few inches wider, like other rugs of similar size. It is a little narrower than I would prefer, but I realize that they didn't design it with my home in mind. Overall, a beautiful addition to our home's decor!

How are you??
How are you??
I saw on a facebook group that she had her baby. Hopefully someone who is friends with her there can chime in with more details.
Jessica (33) and Ryan (33). Madelyn born August 5, 2009; Malachi born December 23, 2010 and Nathaniel born July 19, 2013. Lost a loved baby 02/29/12, 05/14/12 and 07/05/12 all due a serious allergic reaction to fabric softener.
My blog about MCAD
I heard you were asking ;)
Yes, my baby was born a couple days ago, a month early (35w2d.) She's been having a hard time, so she's in the NICU right now. It's hard for me to take any extra time to make an update, so I will just C&P if that's ok with you.... For a bit of back story, I had been contracting for several days, went into l&d on the 15th bc I had been having contractions increasing in intensity that were 2-3 minutes apart. While there my water broke and I had to deliver. My body did not kick in gear after about 15 hours, so they started me on pitocin. Here are the updates from there.
Aug 15: For my momma friends <3 Callie came into the world fast and furious two hours ago. I was only dilated to 5 at about 12:00 and just felt so defeated. I cried, called a friend, talked to Aaron and was just so tired and hurting. She was sunny side up, so I was in a lot of pain in my back and butt. All the sudden, about and hour later, just when I was ready to quit (and posted on my wall requesting prayer) I had a crazy hard contraction, could feel her turn and move down! I went from 5 to complete in that hour and couldn't keep from pushing! I delivered in four or five contraction, about 20 minutes, on my hands and knees with the nurse midwife.
Aug 16: So, it has been an emotional roller coaster kind of a day for us here with miss Callie. We went to the NICU because she was having very low blood sugar and not holding her temperature, then within a couple hours she was in respiratory distress and being hooked up to a nasal cannula. They did an x-Ray and found that she has fluid in her lungs. It doesn't appear that she aspirated, but she came so quickly that all the amniotic fluid that is breathed in and out while in the uterus was not able to be squeezed out of her lungs during delivery. She is not able to nurse or even bottle feed right now and has a tube going in her mouth to her belly. I'm struggling with all that bc they are pushing us to use formula when that is not what we want to do. (This is not just a personal conviction, but health related. I don't want to have a formula vs breast milk debate, so please don't go there.) So, I'm pumping as much as I can, but not getting much yet bc my milk hasn't come in, which is normal at this point. Anyway, it's been rough.... Lots of tears from all of us today.
Aug 17: the last one won't let me C&P so here's the link https://m.facebook.com/story.php?sto...&id=1548925913

For whatever reason this won't upload her pics :/
Aww thinking of you and Callie and the rest of your family!
We had the same issue with Abby (though she was FT). NICU is not a fun place, I hope they are taking great care you there. Praying that she gets stronger and healthier every day!
Congratulations on your baby girl! Sorry you are going through nicu experience! Hope she is out of there in no time. How's your dd1 doing? Hugs

It's the Vodacom Durban July this Saturday and I'm going to be there, (reluctantly actually) working hard. Between the many marquees I'm going to be juggling, the celebrities irritating us and of course eating good food, there'll be a lot of judgemental people checking out what one is wearing.
Firstly I'm a journalist, so what I'm wearing shouldn't be anyone's concern. Secondly I'm not friends with any designer, so there's no one dressing me for the actual event, which is why, thirdly, I'm wearing my own clothes.
I'm wearing an outfit I wore a month and a few days ago to my good friends Charmel and Mitchell Payet's wedding. It's the best I have and since I don't really care about the July this year, I'm going to wear something old, yet I know I'm going to kill it and be one of the best dressed! It's that charm.
