"The Sphinx" (The Christ) (The Spirit Of Atlantis):
Channelled through Pat Grabham.
Does the name 'The Sphinx' symbolise 'The Christ'? Was the Sphinx of Atlantis Represented in the image of God The Son? The original statue of 'The Sphinx' was to Honour The Christ Light 'The Son Of God', wherein Invitation into all the Deeper Mysteries of the Universe and God's Mind Itself Resided.
Indeed, 'The Sphinx' is an Invisible Akashic Reord of All That Has Been, Is, And Has Still To Come To Fruition, for 'The Sphinx' Symbolises the Mind Of The Creator, for To See is to Believe, to Know is to Understand, to Listen is to Remember, for every inch of its Majestic and Holy Presence Represents a Tiny Journey of the Soul; Each Paw an Initiation.
One can see 'The Sphinx' of Atlantis as a Living Flame, the Very Light of the Son, pouring forth in a Golden Glow, sending out Far and Wide the Rays of Its Illumination, so that wherever one was, it was an All Consuming Ray of Light, Love, Power, Wisdom, wherein rested as in a Sleep, the Very Mysteries of Creation, of the Very Mind and Heart of The Father God, for Its Symbol would Shine Forever, and though, through the Aeons of Time, it would indeed grow dim, it would 'nevertheless be to those who were there' an Initiation Once More into one's Very Heritage…. A Remembrance of that time Long Ago Born, and which to Those Who Know, They Wish to Return To.
For to Remember is to Return Home, each step having had to be taken backwards as the soul grew seemingly further and further away from the root of its beginning, until that pull of Home grew so strong, nothing or no one could stop the soul retracing its footsteps back to the Dhuman Adamic Race, and to those Spheres Above The Earth, and to those long left behind, as the soul journeyed further and further away from its light, but in doing had to generate its own to such an extent, that the magnetism and pull of Home makes everything else un-important, for therein, lies the only true love and happiness, as the soul is re-born almost - another time, for it has Gone Full Circle and Experienced All There is in the Physical Worlds and can now 'rest'.
But of course, the soul will never actually rest, for there are still Initiations to be Experienced, Undertaken and Lived Through, for in so doing, the Doorway to the Mind of God is Never Shut… It Is There and can be Walked Through in Humbleness, Joy, Elation, Adoration and Wonder, at the Plan of the Creator, as More and More Knowledge and Understanding comes to the son, daughter of God, as it Walks Once More With And To The Father-Mother-God, and The Son.
The Christ Light and the Golden Sun stretches out its Rays and Once Again, 'The Sphinx' Illumines as was Intended, the Children of God.
(Indeed, it seems to say, 'forget-me-not', for I will never leave you; I Am With You Always, Without Beginning or End, for you have surely Dreamt My Dream, just as I have dreamt yours); thus We Become Once More, Just as I Had Planned When My Mind Envisaged The Dhuman Adamic Race, Those Other Spheres Above Earth Too, and Also, My Children of Adoption, will and can also Return to their Very Roots and Beyond, for As It Was, So It Will Be Again.
But through Initiation and Initiation, the soul will Resemble Ever More, the Very Godhead Itself, thus I Am Well Pleased, for the End Is In Fact The Beginning – Alpha and Omega, are Indeed, One and the Same, for No Separation Exists, Just Oneness, Together But Separate, One And The Same, As It Was So Ordained…. The Holy Grail Of Life Ever Lasting.

Hi Julian.... postscript for now:
It is funny really, without laughing! but having written this piece in August 1996, where it had remained as a typed A4 sheet, until typing it up earlier today for posting, but it seems that today, this present time, I would say it has come into its own more than it had in those days. (Although back then there was no outlet to post it unlike with the internet and these spiritual sites today).
How would you define initiation Pat? It is a very important subject to understand.
And upon this stone, inscribed by an Atlantean high priest, was the whole of the symbolic teaching which we are endeavouring to turn to unravel and to understand today, seeking little by little to tread the path of peace, with the knowledge of those great lives of the past, who built the foundation of the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord. That stone was the precious burden which the Israelites carried into the wilderness, which they defended with their very lives and brought to rest upon Mount Sinai.
The time we are considering is the time of Moses and Orpheus, and if you study the life of Moses you will realise that much of the teaching is symbolically inclined towards the teaching of Egypt.
……………….. this was the last test except the mental test, and it is the mental tests that are written on the stone of the Ark of the Covenant; these were yet to come, but they are of the inner mysteries and are never spoken of except between the hierophant and the postulant at the third stage of initiation.
Well, that is my thoughts on initiation!
(The extracts from Mona Rolfe's book was written by her in 1976), although I purchased this in the 1980's, and it is still available today.
Hi Julian
I am glad my comments were valuable.... I am all for having initiations taken whilst in the sleep, astral travel and dream experiences, which does not mean of course they are very easy! It is good to get away from the heavier density of the physical body, as so much more can be accomplished with the lighter etheric body,
How lovely to have had that wonderful initiation so recently in an Egyptian temple... one can 'imagine' it, memories from the past....To have remembered so much and having been made aware of the beautiful hymns and ceremonies, was not only that experience you were meant to go through, but it was to bring to your attention also in this life, that profound experience.
You could say the comments from Amos re that life in Egypt as A.... were very valid.
To write on them and bring them forth will be a source of inspiration and teaching to others... that is what the true spiritual writer does. I have only to read from any of my four special books and one or two others, and I am taken to those days, to that teaching, which, when such resonates within one, it means you have that love and affinity, and it helps to bring to the reader memories which are often unawakened - thus by that affinity to spiritual teachings, the spiritual seeker is transported to a higher dimension having had that helping hand,
That takes me back to something my twin sister and I experienced when we were 21.... a long time ago!
One of many experiences, was that our neighbour below where we shared a flat at the time, said to us what wonderful celestial music he had heard coming from our flat, it was so beautiful. (We ourselves were not aware of it, but he was able to hear this).
Us to remember the words of Hermes Trismegistus about origin of the souls, about violating of divine laws, about the punishment they received by closing in the body.
Now, more and more souls remember their true Home and want to return.
I think this is the first large initiation THE AWAKENING, made with love and forgiveness by God himself.
It is the soul that gives man the right to say to God: "Father." It is the soul that transforms man into a living temple of the Spirit of God.
It is the soul that makes the creation of man a perfect work of the Father..
Illuminated by its divine origin, the soul knows, the soul wants, the soul can with a force that is already that of a God. And God favors this force. He strongly supports and assist to the extent that the soul rises to justice and deifies man by a life of love for his Creator.
Yes ,Pat,TRISMEGISTOS -meaning "thrice great" comes from the fact that is attributed to Hermes-Thoth idea of the unity of God, but also support the idea of existence in God of three supreme powers.
Not so sound familiar to us?
This tells us that divine matrix reveal itself in all ages.Even though sometimes marginal ideas separate from the center of power, when the time comes centripetal force of God gather fragments and recreate the whole.

Jazs Bronner told police that his father died after he fell and hit his head on a 10-pound barbell, the result of a father-and-son fistfight.
But police said the autopsy told a different story: Orlando Bronner, 73, was struck at least four times in the head with a blunt object, and parts of his skull contained bits of metal and paint from the gold-colored free weight.
Jazs Bronner, 44, was arrested late Tuesday in Bristol Township, Bucks County, and charged with a general count of homicide, the degree to be decided in court. He was sent to the Bucks County Prison without bail. According to court documents, Bronner had moved in with his father in the Winder Village section of the township about four months ago.

Last Modified: Sunday, August 19, 2007 at 12:00 a.m.
The Asheville Symphony Guild announces its 2007-08 season of Musical Feasts. Last year the Musical Feast program raised over $20,000 for the Asheville Symphony Guild.
The guild finds generous hosts who open their homes and business for the parties, and then patrons buy a reservation. For the cost of a dinner at a nice restaurant (or less), guests are given the opportunity to tour spectacular houses, taste world class cuisines and wines, and most of all, meet interesting people who share the same love of supporting the orchestra.
The 2007-08 musical feasts will include:
Every dollar spent on a Musical Feast goes directly to the Asheville Symphony Guild. Participation in a Musical Feast assures the guild that it can continue its support of both the Music in the Schools program and the Asheville Symphony Orchestra.

I recently updated my wordpress for no other reason than I was prompted by wordpress to do so .. big mistake. The upload seemed to crash and I couldnt log back into my dashboard .. my site was still up but it was slow and gave the appearance that I was still logged into admin. I checked the forums and it appears that this is a common problem the general advise seemed to be deactivating plugins, reloading wp-admin and wp-includes.
Did all this and nothing worked just got a different set of errors and lost my site entirely.
By the way my site is hosting on godaddy for my sins and their advise was to reload wordpress and start again ... which i did (saved wp-contents first). This hasnt worked either. Its now a great big Cluster F**K. My Macs about to go off the balcony. Can anyone help make sense of this for me.

I love the http://aquoid.com/news/plugins/photonic/ "help" page with screen shots of non-existent functions.
Also, the total lack of basic setup instructions.
And how the "photonic" link disappears after I create a gallery. And how extra brackets magically appear in the shortcode...
JQuery conflicts? Wpautop issues? Yep. Most people will be using at least one of those. So fix the issues instead of making "you can do X and you can do Y with this awesome plugin..." claims that are not true.
If I wanted to puke out mountains of code, I'd be using Joomla.
Seriously; this plugin should be taken down until it's fixed.

Diablo III
(PC, Macintosh, PS3, PS4 )
My thoughts, so far....By tariq b Score:
May 18, 2012 10:28PM PST
To me Diablo III is kind of... behind the times. I know there are some people who are so against "modern gaming" do to a number of factors, but there are some aspects that should definitely be improved in this game.
First off, the graphics are seriously outdated. The only thing saving this game from looking like something out of 2004 for me is my awesome 1080p resolution I get to play on with my sweet set-up. The textures and polygon counts are too low for something that costs $60 today! In 2012, I want my face to be melted by superior graphics where I would need an overclocked Radeon HD 6990 to get the full effects. Diablo III is something I would expect to play on my Gamecube.
Second, the character customization options are... nonexistant. Todays games are all about customizability, especially for online gaming. We need something that makes our characters unique. I was I know there are only parties of 4, and it's pretty easy to identify users of the same class, but still, $60? The game isn't even kind enough to do palette swaps, and you're usually stuck with the same looking pants for many hours. Eventually with rarer items gained, you can get some weapon and armor combinations to make your character stand out.
Thirdly, the combat could have used some sprucing up, animation-wise. I can equip my monk with a slew of daggers, swords, spears and whatnot, yet he still uses his fists while he's holding said weapon. The witch doctor can hold a sword but do nothing with it. In all those 12(?) years, why couldn't the developers have given the characters the ability to fight with the weapons they're using? There's also the problem of swapping skills. Hotkeys are essentially unlocked, and only one skill per skill "group" can be assigned per designated hotkey. There needs to be a way to quickly switch out skills for another, especially when facing a foe that requires longer-ranged attacks. Instead you must go through the menu and do it manually.
Finally, there's too much loot. I'm constantly replacing my gear with better gear, and it kills the anticipation of finding sweet drops from tougher mobs. I'll craft some cool gear with a lot of my gold and materials but 10 minutes later there'll be a drop from some easy mob that is easily superior.
There are a few more things I can complain about, but I think that's enough to get my point across. I do enjoy this game a lot, and there's a lot done right with this game which makes it both enjoyable and very addictive. While I do understand the Diablo series has a cult following which Blizzard wanted to stay true to, I truly believe this game is definitely not worth $60. We're too far into the future to pay that much for a game lacking in current established standards of content and quality. Blizzard had more than enough time to craft this game into what 2012 was expecting. An indie dev could have sold this game for $30 (or maybe less).

Do you stop halfway through sex to criticize?Posted: May 26, 2012 12:00AM PST by Porkchopsamwich
This game has a lot of adjustments, especially in Normal, to help casual gamers and new people to the Diablo franchise. The elective mode having to be turned on, rare items from every boss, and a pretty pud difficulty curve are all there for the first run through Normal to help people catch the drift of the game. It also lets all players enjoy the story, animations, scenery, sounds, and everything there is to experience without having to struggle too often for survival.
That being said, until you get past the portion of the game where Blizzard holds your hand the entire time you don't really see what the overall design compliments. That is, the game is designed around hell and inferno difficulty and the end game as far as balancing and combat mechanics are concerned.
Your arguments lose their substance once you reach the end game, with the exception of the visuals. The graphics don't melt your brain and/or eyeballs, but I find little to complain about considering I've been seeing these screenshots for years and knew what was coming. However, once the game is in motion it looks great. The animations, especially monster deaths depending on how they are killed, are super.
Now if you're wanting customization, you've come to the perfect game. What better way to stand out than to have gear that is uniquely yours? Every item that drops is independent and one-of-a-kind. Your loot speaks for you in this game, and it can be tailored towards the build of your choice. In time, creativity should take hold and we will see a lot of unique skill setups with certain item affixes that are fit for such a thing. The banners are there for that skin-deep customization you might get from modern games anyways.
My main point here is that I hope you dedicate to the game and take it as far as you can. Hitting level 60 is honestly just the beginning, and the real fun (and challenge) is found from there. Diablo games are played for years, not days.
a few commentsPosted: May 21, 2012 12:00AM PST by KodiakDuck
You can change some of the color on your armor using the dyes from various venders. not the greatest customization options but it's what you have. also you can customize your banner. you unlock more options by gaining acheivements.
you can go into options --> gameplay and use elective mode which lets you remap your skills to whatever hotkey you want. have a varied set of skills so you can deal with any range. my monk has no long ranged attacks so I give him a gap closer. plan ahead and be ready for any situation or at the least have a work around.
never complain about too much loot. more loot = better. most of the time though I don't always find better loot for the class i'm playing which is annoying because I'm way behind in gear for my main(using level 20 gear at level 37). needless to say I'm still waiting for some sweet loot drops for my character. you must have amazing luck if everything you find in the game is an upgrade for that particular character you're using at that time.
graphics do not make the game, the game play does.
on the weapon thing, the monk not using his swords or what have you pisses me off. The barbarian has animations to go along with his weapons why not the monk? it kinda makes sense for the witch doctor though since you are normally not in melee range and rely primarily on your skills.
Re:Posted: May 24, 2012 12:00AM PST by staticsonata187
Oh wow I had no idea about elective mode. Thank you! This should make it much easier to effectively balance my monk for solo play.
Also about the loot thing... now that my monk is a higher level I do understand your point. I'm also pretty behind in my gear now (mainly because I'm focusing on stacking gear with +experience) so it seems like the game constantly gave me superior gear in my earlier levels to get a feel for the effects of different attributes.
As for the witch doctor- it would have made more sense to give him different blowguns to equip, but oh well. Thank you for your insight.

Steps are embarking on an epic reunion tour. This comprises weeks of rehearsals, twenty sell-out shows and 170,000 fans. A TV series chronicling this journey over six episodes seems realistic enough. But as week four unfolds and the band commences its first arena performance in over a decade, there is clearly a problem. Nothing exciting is ever going to happen on the Steps reunion tour. Ever.
The morning after, the Steps hold one of their classic sitting-around-a-table chats to debrief manager Stephen. They agree that last night's performance was nothing short of passable. Faye feels like they've not been vocally prepared for this tour. She's angry about it, but does admit that it's Steps' fault as much as anyone's. Lisa is not so magnanimous, sticking her palm in Stephen's face and spitting out: "We've been bogged down with the choreography and we didn't realise we'd be doing so much". That's right. They thought someone else would be doing all the singing for them. Later, Claire & H reminisce about simpler times when their shows were only 90 minutes long and they could just mime through it. It's almost as if they want their (made up, to compensate for being beaten by Belle & Sebastian the previous year) Biggest Selling Live Act BRIT award revoking.
Manager Stephen keeps saying "I don't want to worry you, but…" and then telling stories about how the crew don't know how to work the sound desk. Later, a backing dancer loses her costume and H runs down some stairs and goes right instead of left at the bottom. Unfortunately, none of these problems amount to anything other than very mild peril. Next, Faye & Claire's (respective) kids are brought onto the tour bus to try and elicit some drama. However, Lee, who hates kids, just sits in his little self-titled "kiddy-free zone" playing on his phone. (No doubt texting his girlfriend to tell her how much he hates kids.) Even the kids all get along, and do the appropriate amounts of sharing with a sticker book. It's really dull.
A few days into the tour and finally disaster strikes: the trucks containing their monster stage set almost miss the ferry to Liverpool. At least that's what we're told. The footage is ambiguous at best. And HGV meets boat doesn't immediately bring to mind a high speed chase adventure. The sets arrive, but they usually take EIGHT hours to build, and they don't manage to start until 2pm, just SIX hours before the show. Tension mounts as the crew are forced to do the unthinkable, and work through their lunch. "Against all odds, they've pulled it off." Even voiceover Theakston sounds bored by this point.
Just when it couldn't get any more exciting, the tour wagon rolls into Manchester and the scene of the crime – the MEN Arena, where H & Claire resigned and ended the band 11 years ago. On the tour bus, the band has separated into two different camps to reflect – a situation which occurred entirely naturally, without any Sky Living producer intervention. Faye tells a really sad story about how whenever fans would speak to her after the split, they'd accuse her of ruining their Christmas. It's obvious from the way she tells it that this only happened once, and that the "fan" was her mum, and that she ruined Christmas with something far more pressing than the Steps break up. Like forgetting to buy ice. Or cheese footballs.
The band traipses to the very same dressing room where it happened, for the ultimate showdown. "It looks exactly the same," warbles Lisa, close to tears as usual (though that may be due to her ridiculously large false eyelashes). H concurs that the room has the same sofas. Suddenly Faye barges in screaming "THE TABLE'S NOT THERE!" and all hell breaks loose. That's their thing! How can they have an emotional sitting-around-a-table chat in a room with no table? Nonetheless, once they've calmed down, the wronged parties do an admirable job of blathering the same old lines about lack of commitment, never fully regaining trust, and other bitterness. Claire stands in the corridor and interviews to camera that she'd do the same thing again in a flash. We've heard these mind-numbing revelations so many times by this point that my ears start ringing. I stare, transfixed by Lisa's giant eyelashes, willing something to happen. Nothing happens.

*Emily Rose is a real person who wanted her story told to prove there is a bad place (not heaven), which means there is a Heaven. The proof they present in this story will probably give you nightmares/images you won't forget. *If you don't like courtroom movies, be prepared since most of the story takes place there. *The Acting, Props & Stunts are Amazing. The girl who plays Emily did many of her own stunts (behind the scenes they show more about it); she is jaw-dropping in her part as you won't believe how believable she portrays the demons. As a true horror fan I Love this movie, but like the older movie The Exorcist...it is disturbing.
Good story line as it relates to a true story. Able to relate the factual from the fictional.
Best movie ever! Highly recommended.
A must for fans.

Hazleton, Pa., has lost another round in federal court as it tries to enforce ordinances that crack down on illegal immigrants.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit on Friday reaffirmed its ruling that the Northeastern Pennsylvania city's 2006 law is unconstitutional because it preempts the federal government's jurisdiction over immigration.
The law would penalize landlords who rented to illegal immigrants, and employers who hired them. It was immediately challenged by Hispanic and other groups, and blocked in 2007 by a federal district court.

Wrigley is Changing More Than the Roster
It seems appropriate that Rob G. would ask me to guest post for him in his absence about improvements to the ballpark. If you have read anything of mine at Tales from Aisle 424, you know I am a season ticket holder there since the 1998 season, so I tend to mention the ballpark, its facilities, and the Cubs' staff more than most Cubs blogs.
This year, there is quite a bit of change happening in the old ballpark.
The aspect that has gotten the most press is, of course, the bathrooms. Basically, the bathrooms on the concourse level will get noticeably larger for the ladies, and slightly larger for the men. The troughs will remain and they will all get a good cleaning.
The most interesting thing about this part of the changes is the reaction to it. Some people seem to love the troughs as a "Wrigley tradition" more than anyone should have feelings for a bathroom fixture. Other people hate the troughs more than Hitler. I'm pretty confident in my heterosexuality and am big on spending the least amount of time in the bathroom when I have paid more the $60 to be in the ballpark, so I come down on the pro-troughs side simple for efficiency, but I wouldn't cry if they ever went away. HINT: If your problem with troughs is the stage fright, try computing complicated math problems in your head as you try to go. I don't know why, but it works.
As for me, of all the changes that can be seen outlined by Paul Sullivan here and Dave Kaplan here, there are two in particular that interest me as a season ticket holder that attends more than 40 games per year in that ballpark.
First. the new PNC Club of Chicago is interesting to me because I have long been concerned about the possibility of PSLs coming into play at Wrigley, and this could seem to be a step in that direction. They have converted a number of the individual skyboxes on the left field side into a fancy club that I will almost assuredly never see unless I take a tour of Wrigley on a non-game day. Over at Aisle 424, I did a post about the various PSL plans that are currently in place in the major leagues and what I found was that the only PSL plans in place were begun when the teams went to new ballparks. Also, the PSLs were sold more as club memberships that entitle the owners to perks above and beyond what "regular" season ticket holders would get in their plans.
However, despite the opening of the PNC Club, I tend to believe Crane Kenney when he says that PSLs are not coming to Wrigley anytime soon. For one, the Cubs seem to be following the model of the Red Sox in maximizing the revenue streams in an old ballpark and the Red Sox do not have a PSL plan. Also, the Mets and Yankees don't have PSLs in their new high-end ballparks, so clearly there is a model for bringing in the dollars without having to take a PR hit by introducing PSLs to Wrigley.
Secondly, the biggest change, in my opinion, is not a physical change, but a change in how the operations in the ballpark will become more fan friendly (in theory). The Cubs hired Jahaan Blake (who worked in the Red Sox organization at one point) as a Chief Hospitality Officer and has been tasked with making sure the Cubs' flowery words in the marketing promotions translates into the actual experience when fans attend a game.
This is part of the Ricketts' overall vision of Disneying up the ballpark so that fans won't notice or care as much that the prices are getting really, really high. According to Crane Kenney in an interview with Bleed Cubbie Blue, there will be an army of Game Ambassadors that will be evaluating every aspect of the fan experience at Wrigley:
"They will be riding the remote bus from DeVry. They'll be riding the El from downtown. They'll be secret shopping our food seeing whether is the hot dog warm, is the beer cold. They'll be monitoring the restrooms. They'll be basically touching every point where a fan comes into contact with our ballpark even including the remote parking lot. How is the bus traffic from DeVry to the ballpark? Are the bus routes appropriate on game days where it's a day game versus a night game, day game weekend, week day. Have we done everything we possibly can to make the bike corral work well? To help the pedestrians get from the El platform to the ballpark."
How they respond to the data they recover from these Ambassadors will be key to whether this is simply more Tribune fan-speak or if they are intent on making sure that when I pay $20 for a hot dog, I can be reasonably assured that it will actually be hot.
I'd be satisfied with an occasional thank you from the ticket office and ushers who are good at making sure people who don't know where they are going find the correct seats. I'm a simple man with simple tastes.
We'll see how they do once the season starts and the inevitable stupid questions from fans erode their resolve.
Re: Wrigley is Changing More Than the Roster
Thanks for the post. Enjoy your writing at Tales from Aisle 424 and am glad to see you here.
As you noted below, the reader comments following the Trib's coverage of the proposed Toyota sign are classic.
Here is just one of my faves:
"Come on! Be original! Every park has a giant illuminated sign. How about erecting a 74 foot tall Vienna Sausage over the right field bleachers?"
Re: Wrigley is Changing More Than the Roster
The most interesting thing about this part of the changes is the reaction to it. Some people seem to love the troughs as a "Wrigley tradition" more than anyone should have feelings for a bathroom fixture.
Depends on if you are, shall we say, self-conscious as I am. At some point I'll probably get a big sports car to compensate.
Re: Wrigley is Changing More Than the Roster
The troughs are non-literally the only good thing about Wrigley. Wait, maybe literally, because Wrigley pretty much sucks, literally.
Re: Wrigley is Changing More Than the Roster
Literally or figuratively? If literally, please explain how this occurs.

Neyer on Silva
"I think if Silva's back to throwing in the low 90s, he can be effective and might actually be the Cubs' best No. 5 starter, at least in the short term. If he's still throwin in the high 80s, though, I would choose Marshall or Samardzija."

Chapman shouldn't be reserved anymore on 40 man.
Interesting split on Heyward according to ESPN. As a CF, his slash line .292/.363/.375/.738. At RF: .212/.204/.300/.604. 21/72 as a CF, 58/273 as a RF.
He's also been better when batting 2nd, but he had a nice start in the 6 hole, but has slumped ever since. He was heating up before the All Star break, but is only hitting .108 in the 2nd half.
When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.
I'm liking this rookie Nathan.
Richard DFA'd. Meh...
Throwbacks with fashionable cutouts would be a nice touch.
The next 2 games are nationally televised. I think we dominate tonight, hitting 3 HRs off Shields. Great night for KB to end HR drought facing HR prone pitcher in one of the most hitter friendly parks in the league.

Nearly two-thirds of all unchurched adults—people who have not attended a church activity in the last six months—identified themselves as "Christians," according to a recent study by the Barna Group.
The survey revealed that 28 percent of the population—some 65 million adults—have not participated in any church activities or services in the past six months. As many churches try to attract this group to worship on Sunday, the study showed that the makeup of unchurched Americans may be surprising.
For example, 18 percent of unchurched Americans say they are born again, that they have "made a personal commitment to Jesus Christ that is still important in their life today" and that they will go to heaven only because they have accepted Him as their Savior. Two-thirds (68 percent) say God is the all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the universe. However, slightly more than one-third (35 percent) agree that the Bible is totally accurate in all its principles, and only 15 percent say their religious faith is very important in their life.
Demographically, among the unchurched, women outnumber men, baby boomers and older generations outnumber younger generations, and conservatives outnumber liberals.
Why does such a large group of people who believe in God avoid church? The Barna Group claims that a previous study may shed some light on the question. The study showed that 37 percent of non-churchgoing Americans avoid churches because of negative past experiences in churches or with church people. [barna.org, 4/12/10]

I have just installed a new multisite WP test site.
I created two sites, one called 'es' the other 'en' so my structure looks like this:
In my settings I have chosen Spanish for the es site and English for the en site. I then ticked the Multilingual blog relationships option.
Now when I look at my sites in my Network Admin es and en show they are interlinked.
Now I create a simple post and a simple page in en - they are copied as drafts to es and I publish them.
So it all looks great but when I go to mysite.com/public/es/mypage its all in English - no translation occurs.
Can you tell me what I did wrong?

- Artist Rooms
Role-playing was a central aspect of many of Warhol's self-portraits. In 1981 the artist was videoed and photographed wearing various wigs and make-up. The video was produced for 'Andy Warhol's TV on Saturday Night Live'. Christopher Makos, a member of Warhol's close circle of friends, described the process as a "Dadaist experiment…The point was not drag itself but the altered image. It had nothing to do with trans-sexuality. As you can see: no stuffed bras, no artificial fingernails. Only the face is altered".

Fine dining in the greater Miami area. Everything I ate here was delicious and the drinks were amazing as well. The service was spectacular. Go here for a classy dinner with friends, a date, and it's also the perfect setting for a nice business dinner. If you take a cab to get there, make sure you let the staff know to call you one to get home. It didn't seem like cabs frequented that area after about 10:00?

Resident Evil 6 contains "seamless" conversation system, according to Dengeki PlayStation
The latest Dengeki PlayStation magazine leak notes Resident Evil 6 will contain a "seamless" conversation which will allow the dialogue to change depending on the situation in the game. The magazine also states the development team at Capcom were curious as to whether it was "going overboard with the conversation system," due to the large amount of content associated with voice acting. Later this year. Thanks, Siliconera.

the hotel location
yes , we have asked for 3 beds rooms and we did not get it , however they wanted to charge us for this and we refused . they give us smoking rooms with very bad view .
I liked the Hotels physical location and the way the history of the old Monastory has been preserved in the entrance cloisters
the size of the room and the the fantastic bathroom was very comfortable.
breakfast choices were fresh, plenty and truly delicious
the water given was aplenty as well. We drink a lot of water and that is important to us.
the restaurant manager was very unprofessional and acted quite rude
the air conditioning in the room was not quite cool enough and bc of the weather you couldn't open a window either, so it was quite warm in the room
not enough staff in the spa to accommodate for visiting guests - in other words no appts available while we stayed there.
The room is luxury, clean, and well-equipped. A nice view of the Bodensee from the balcon. The design of the entire hotel is very modern and sofisticated. We spent extremely confortable and gorgeous days at this hotel.
We wanted to eat a disch of fish from the Bodensee. The fisch in the menu of this restaurant does not come from this lake.
Perfect location, directly on Lake Constance waterfront. Uberlingen is a pleasnat small town with easy access to lots of other interesting places.
The hotel is in a delightful situation overlooking Lake Constance. Good walks along the lake and easy access to Constance.
nothing in particular
very poor room no. 407, poor breakfast, def no four stars.
Beautiful views, lovely hotel for couples and families alike. Very relaxing, Friendly staff, bar area very nice, food excellent especially for a large hotel. Lovely big room.
Too many levels, up and down to get to room
Friendly personnel
Television was not functioning initially, but was rapidly repaired after our demand.
Very nice service, very friendly. Great location for city trips/ shopping.
Bar was nice. But could even be enlarged in size to offer space for more guests.
Splendid view on the lake. Large rooms, very clean. Great breakfast, again with the view.
The central Location, the view over the Lake and the sound of the lapping Water against the pier.
The Bed !!!! creaking and uncomfortable at every turn of the Body. Definately not a Comfort Room for sleeping.
The hotel is within a 15-minute walk through the country side to the beautiful island of Mainau and has a wonderful view of the lake and mountains. Our nautical-themed room was comfortable and even had a flat-screened TV. The bar and restaurant staffs were very, very friendly.
The wireless internet would not work in rooms in the adjoining building. When we went to the desk for assistance, the gentleman blamed our firewall and threw our receipt (with access code) away. After a few deep breaths, we convinced him to retrieve our receipt from the trash and figured out how to gain access in the lobby.
The location was perfect, only a 15 minute walk down to the lake and the Isle of Mainau. You can sit on the patio in front of the hotel and drink wine and look down over the fields to the lake, the view is beautiful. The staff was very nice to us. The restaurant was good for dinner, and they had a great breakfast too. There is a small playground for the children in the back of the hotel; they had rabbits too, and the kids loved it. For going into Konstanz, you can catch the bus for free and be downtown in 10 minutes. I would like to go back down to Mainau, and Konstanz a few times this summer, and I will definitely stay at this hotel when I go.
The hotel location in relation to Konstanz! Fantastic. Breakfast was awesome too.
They say that they have free Wifi, but this is not true!!!! Beware!!! They offer the service if you pay a third-party provider through a credit card. This is not free and was very misleading. Parking is also not free. There is parking station around the corner that they point you towards. Getting your things out of the car is a little awkward, as you need to park in the bus bay out the front.
Breakfast, Location.
I liked its proximity to shops and the bahnof. The breakfast was refreshing with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. The presentation was great. The breakfast room was small but cosy and pretty.
The main door is locked after 10 (or 11?) pm. It was difficult to open.
the close proximity to the train station, shopping centre and pier.
the bathroom was really small, hotel is really old but breakfast was wonderful.
excellent location
Very well located, in front of the Konstanz train station and the main touristic points of interest, as well as a good shopping center. Downstairs there is a Mac Donald's, which is useful when traveling with kids. Very complete German breakfast.
The hotel has no parking nor an agreement with the closer parking. Check-in closes very early and there is no staff at night. Expensive hotel for the quality.
Aloha :-) Nice & interesting hotel (stayed in the safari room). Hotel staff was very friendly. Close by city Konstanz. We had a dinner in the restaurant and it was delicious. (web:go-viva.eu)
Nice and big room, good breakfast!
Very good hotel with parking and internet included in the very reasonable price.
Over priced
furniture and style of hotel and room; nice garden views (but no balcony and small window)
mediocre, cold reception; difficult access; bad parking lot; lack of food facilities (no restaurant or room service in the hotel, next door restaurant closed; had to drive 8 km to next crowded town for a simple pizza); no information or tasting/sale of local products although hotel in the middle of a vineyard; internet inordinately expensive...
It had a good and varied breakfast. I found it met my expectations.

NEW YORK (AP) - Todd Helton went 4-for-8 with three doubles and a homer to inch closer to .400, but Todd Zeile's tiebreaking homer in eighth inning helped the New York Mets sweep a doubleheader from the Colorado Rockies, 7-5 and 4-3 Tuesday night.
The Mets drew eight walks - including two with the bases loaded in the seventh inning - and broke a tie on a run-scoring wild pitch to win the opener 7-5.
The Mets have won 18 of 22 games to move within two games of Atlanta in the NL East.
Helton is hitting .396 - the highest anyone has been this late in the season since George Brett was batting over .400 in September 1980 before finishing at .390. Ted Williams, who hit .406 in 1941, is the last major leaguer to hit .400 over a full season.
Helton, who is 17-for-24 in the first seven games of Colorado's road trip, has raised his average 26 points in the last 12 games.
He had an RBI double in the second inning and doubled and scored in the fourth as the Rockies broke out to a 4-2 lead in the opener. He added an RBI double in the first inning of the nightcap and a solo homer in the sixth.
The triple crown isn't out of the question, either. Helton has 30 homers and 104 RBIs, trailing Sammy Sosa by eight and three, respectively.
"He's a great hitter," Mets manager Bobby Valentine said. "He covers all pitches and all speeds. He uses all fields. He has great balance. He's mechanically sound."
Zeile, whose error in the seventh helped Colorado tie the game at 3, hit a 3-2 pitch from Bobby Chouinard (1-2) down the left-field line just over the glove of a leaping Todd Hollandsworth to give the Mets the lead with one out in the eighth.

Can CT Scans Raise Cancer Risk?
Nov. 28, 2007 -- As many as 20 million adults and 1 million children in the U.S. receive unnecessary computed tomography (CT) scans each year, potentially causing thousands of excess cancers in decades to come, researchers say.
Writing in Wednesday's issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, the Columbia University researchers warned that the dramatic rise in CT usage to diagnose medical problems and screen for disease could pose a significant risk to public health.
Unlike conventional X-rays, which capture a single snapshot image, CT scanning generates a three-dimensional picture involving multiple X-ray images.
More than 62 million CT scans are performed annually in the U.S., up from only 3 million in 1980.
CT scans deliver far more radiation than conventional X-rays -- between 50 and 200 times as much, says David J. Brenner, PhD, of Columbia's Center for Radiological Research.
As a result, the average radiation dose people in the U.S. get has nearly doubled since 1980, he tells WebMD.
Based on current usage, Brenner and Columbia colleague Eric J. Hall, PhD, estimate that within two or three decades, 1.5% to 2% of all cancers in the U.S. will be caused by exposure to CT scans.
"This may be acceptable if it is clear that the benefits of CT outweigh the risk," Brenner says. "But we believe that a good number of scans being performed today are not really medically necessary and that many others could involve lower radiation doses."
Children are a special concern, he says, because they are much more sensitive to radiation exposure than adults and they have more years to develop radiation-related cancers.
Bomb Survivors and CT Risk
In a Tuesday news conference, Brenner and Hall said the dose of radiation delivered in one or two CT scans is roughly equivalent to doses received by atomic bomb survivors in Japan who were 2 miles away from the blast sites when the bombs hit.
Studies showing a rise in cancers among these survivors decades after the atomic blasts led to their estimate of risk among people having CT scans today.

NEW YORK - All eyes are on the bride on her wedding day. She also will probably pose for more photographs and undergo more scrutiny than any other day in her life.
Glamour magazine's June issue was devoted to bridal dos and don'ts, a guide that aims to keep the bride - and the reviews of her appearance - glowing.
A flattering style can make the difference. Comfort is another factor that shouldn't be ignored.
A bride will be in her gown for six or seven hours, so it shouldn't be too tight, itchy, or stiff.
Glamour urges brides-to-be to take their gowns for a test drive: practice sitting, walking and dancing, and be aware of how much room the dress actually takes up.
The magazine's editors offer these tips for finding the most flattering styles:
For women with a bigger bottom, an A-line skirt creates the best kind of illusion because "you can't tell where the dress ends and you begin." Another tip is to choose a dress with a "hide-your-backside bustle."
A plus-size bride shouldn't drown herself in too much fabric. A sleek, shape-skimming gown is actually the most flattering. The same rule applies for a very petite bride because too many bells and whistles leaves her looking like she's playing dress-up.
A short waist is accentuated by a high waistline dress. To elongate the torso, try a gown with waist details that fall below the belly button.
For a small bust, try an empire-waist dress with a padded strapless bra.
For a large bust, a high neckline (even a high-cut halter that leaves the arms very bare) with a built-in bra will offer the best support.
Brides also are reminded to schedule their final fitting a few days before the wedding because many women lose or gain weight just before the big day.

Stayed at Creekside Inn twice in Palo Alto and was very pleased with the accommodations and service during my stays.

2007-08 Team Preview: Detroit Red Wings
Gregory Shamus/Getty Images
The Starting Line
By Scott BurnsideOnly once in the last nine NHL seasons have the Detroit Red Wings failed to reach the 100-point plateau. Bet the farm the Wings top the century mark again this season and book another trip to the Western Conference finals. After being knocked off by the eighth-seeded Edmonton Oilers in the spring of 2006, many thought the Red Wings had gone into a period of decline. Yet, with Dominik Hasek back in the fold and back in form, and with the team displaying a grit and work ethic many believed it didn't have, Detroit was a conference finalist last spring. And let's be honest, if not for a couple of bad bounces (Scott Niedermayer's tying goal late in Game 5), the Wings might well be defending Cup champs again. The good news for the Wings is both Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg took the necessary steps forward and are elite NHLers who have nicely filled the void created by the recent departures of Steve Yzerman and Brendan Shanahan. Assuming he's in good health for once, Niklas Kronwall should step into a starring role on the Red Wings' blue line. GM Ken Holland once again proved he's one of the best in the business by signing longtime Devil Brian Rafalski moments after Mathieu Schneider bolted to Anaheim. OFFENSE
The Wings weren't as prolific as they have been in the past, finishing with the 10th-ranked offense. With Todd Bertuzzi and Robert Lang off to greener pastures, coach Mike Babcock will need a couple of youngsters to mature if the Wings are to stay a top-10 scoring team. Jiri Hudler had 15 goals in his first full season with the Wings and expectations are high for him to evolve into a consistent scorer. Igor Grigorenko will get a look at training camp and is considered a great talent although his development was slowed by a horrific car accident in 2003. Center Valtteri Filppula had a strong playoffs and presumably will get more ice time as a result. DEFENSE
When you start with one of the best defensemen of this generation in Nicklas Lidstrom (he's won five of the last six Norris Trophies as the NHL's top defenseman), you know things are going to be OK. Throw in Rafalski, a two-time Cup winner in New Jersey, and Kronwall, who has generated comparisons to legendary Russian Red Wing Vladimir Konstantinov, and things are going to be better than OK. Those three will log a significant amount of ice time, but waiting in the wings (if you'll pardon the expression) are Andreas Lilja and Brett Lebda, who both played well in the playoffs in the absence of Kronwall and Schneider. Then, there's 45-year-old Chris Chelios, who is on the Gordie Howe plan and might well play until he's 50. The Wings finished second to Minnesota in goals-allowed last season and allowed the fewest shots on goal in the NHL. They should again be among the top two or three defensive teams in the league. GOALTENDING
Most observers believed goaltending might be the Wings' Achilles' heel last season with Hasek returning for a third stint in Detroit. Yet Hasek stayed healthy and, more important, was a terrific dressing-room citizen. Babcock did a nice job of using Hasek expediently (the Czech icon appeared in 56 games), so when the playoffs rolled around, Hasek was fresh. He turned in a sparkling 1.83 goals-against average and .921 save percentage in the postseason. If he can replicate that performance at the age of 42, the Wings will once again be Cup contenders. Chris Osgood is a nice safety net (he was 11-3-6 in regular-season relief with a 2.38 GAA and .907 save percentage). The problem? If Hasek goes down for any length of time, Osgood isn't likely to carry the team to another Cup on his own. Jimmy Howard is the third man and, well, let's just say Holland will be on the phone looking for help the minute Hasek comes up lame. COACHING
You had to believe Babcock was on a short leash after the 2006 debacle, when the top-seeded Wings were ousted by the eighth-seeded Oilers in the first round. But Babcock stuck to his game plan and, without Yzerman and Shanahan, again guided his team to the West's top seed. More important, Babcock tapped into a vein of grit and character that had been missing the previous spring. When the Wings blew a 2-0 series lead against Calgary in the first round, they regrouped and finished the Flames off with two precision-like efforts. Likewise, after falling behind San Jose, the Wings won crucial games on the road to advance to the West finals. Babcock got terrific performances out of inexperienced players like Lebda and Lilja and a career year out of Dan Cleary, who has been re-born in Detroit. Look for more of the same this season. Scott Burnside is the NHL writer for ESPN.com.

Given Hasek's history of meltdowns, both physically and otherwise, there always will be an element of breath-holding when it comes to his performance. Not that it seemed to bother him or the Wings last season. Defenseman: Niklas Kronwall
The skilled, physical Swede missed the last 14 games of the regular season and the playoffs with a fractured sacrum. Assuming good health, he's ready for a breakthrough. Forward: Henrik Zetterberg
Another of the Wings' Swedish posse, Zetterberg had 68 points in 63 games and could challenge for a scoring title if he stays healthy.

103 Bobbling a photograph
103 Bobbling a photograph
Hi. I'm Mike Rankin and welcome to InDesign Effects. In this week's video, we'll see how to make a fun and pretty silly effect that looks like a bobble head doll using InDesign's animation tools. Here, let's preview this dog and cat. So you can see our dog and cat rock their heads slowly back and forth in unison and hopefully bring a smile to your face with their silliness. So I'll close the swift preview panel, go to the next page of my document and we'll see how to build this. Now to get this animation to work, you need to start with a photo that's been setup in Photoshop with layers, with one layer showing just the person or animal's body and another layer that shows the head that you want to bobble.
So I'll press control or Cmd+D to place. I'll go inside the exercise files folder to Links, and I'll choose dog and cat. I'll hold down shift while I click on open, and that opens the image import options dialogue box because I want to show the visibility of some layers here and hide others. So right now I have three layers in this Photoshop document, a dog head layer, a cat head layer, and the background layer, which is just their bodies. So I'm going to hide both the heads right now and just show the bodies. I'll click okay, and click in the document, them right about there.
Now I'm going to copy, paste and place, by pressing Cmd+Shift+Opt+V or Ctrl+Shift+Alt+V. So now I have a second copy of this placed object and I'll right-click on it, scroll down and choose object layer options. And for this copy, I want to hide the bodies, so I'm going to hide the background layer and I'll just show the dog head layer here,. Click okay. There he is. Copy and paste and place again. And for this copy, I'll show just the cat head layer. Hide the dog, show the cat. Okay. Now, one thing to note about this effect is when we rotate the heads back and forth, we'll start to see a weird little gap around the underside of the chin here, so one thing I like to do is either make the heads larger or make the body smaller.
In addition to hiding that little flaw, it makes the effect goofier and a little bit funnier. So what we need to do is select the original placed photo. So I'll go to the Layers panel, make sure I target the right one, the one at the bottom here. And I'm going to decrease the size of that. So I'll constrain my proportions, and decrease down to 90%. You know that ought to be pretty good. Now we can apply the animations. So first I'll select the dog and the cat. Click in the layers panel to make that easier. I'll open my animation by choosing window, interactive animation.
And the animation that we're going to choose from the presets is called dance. And by default, you wouldn't think this would give you a bobble head effect, let's just preview it, and you can see what it does. Does this really kind of silly wiggling thing, but we're going to change some of the values and make it look like a bobble head. So we'll leave on page load as the event, we'll change the duration to 6 seconds, we'll make it loop over and over again, we'll turn off the speed, and we'll keep current appearance and leave the other settings at their default. Now, preview again. And there's still some more tweaking to do here.
So now the dog head starts rocking, the cat's not doing anything. There he goes. He kicks in after a little while. But you can definitely see those gaps. So you need to make some more changes here. The first thing is I want both of these to play at the same time. So I'll go to the Timing Panel by clicking on the button at the bottom of the Animation Panel. I'll select both, and click on the icon to make them play together. So that solves one problem. The next problem is they weren't rotating around the right point in space. I really want the dog's head to rotate right around here, at the top if his shoulders and the same for the cat over here.
So I'll select the dog animation. And if you look closely, you can see this little green square over here, or actually it's a green arrow head. That's the point around which the dogs head is going to animate. If I look in the animation panel I can see the proxy for that as well. I can't really grab that and move it to any arbitrary place that I want to. But what I can do is reshape the frame, or resize it actually and this will move to the center or wherever the frame is. Now before I resize the frame, let's make sure I have the right one selected. And actually I don't. This is the top copy. So this is going to be the cat head.
I don't want it to rotate around that point for the dog. So let's select the dog frame. And now I can reshape it, like so. So that looks right about where his head should be attached to his shoulders. We'll select the cat frame. Resize it. Keep your eye on that green control point there. And that ought to work. All right. Let's preview again. And there we go. Rocking back and forth in unison, almost hypnotically. So in this video we saw how to make a cute bobble head effect using the dance animation preset and a layered Photoshop file so we can animate just the heads of these cuddly creatures.
I'm Mike Renken. I'll be back in two weeks. And thanks for watching.

Driver accused of negligence in Vt. accidentOctober 31,2013
The Associated Press
NEWPORT - A woman has been accused of negligence behind the wheel that caused the death of a motorcyclist in Vermont last summer.
Anne Lyons of New Hyde Park, N.Y., pleaded not guilty Tuesday in Orleans Superior Court to a misdemeanor count of careless or negligent operation.
The 78-year-old Lyons is accused of causing the death of 37-year-old Daniel Sanderson on Route 5A in Westmore.
Lyons told state police she was traveling north the night of Aug. 30 when she slowed down and then stopped to make a left turn.
She said Sanderson was traveling south and slowed down before she turned. Daryl Daigneault of Amesbury, Mass., who was traveling behind Lyons, told police that Lyons turned suddenly, leaving Sanderson nowhere to go but into her vehicle.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Bennington woman was hospitalized following an early morning fire.
