Breast Augmentation
At Renaissance Plastic Surgery, Dr. Fata was one of the first plastic surgeons in the Indianapolis, Indiana area to introduce a program designed for a quick recovery after breast augmentation, which has greatly benefited patients who can't afford the "down time". To learn more about his rapid recovery program for breast augmentation patients, click "24 Hour Rapid Recovery Program" and see how you can have your plastic surgery with almost no down time.
Did you know that the FDA approved silicone gel breast implants for use in cosmetic surgery breast augmentation in November of 2006? Fifteen years of intense research resulted in the conclusion that earlier allegations that silicone gel breast implant patients developed immune system diseases, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, were not correct. The evidence showed that there was no cause and effect between silicone gel breast implants and immune system diseases of any kind.
Since this landmark FDA approval, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Fata has offered a choice of either silicone gel breast implants or saline breast implants to his breast augmentation patients in Indianapolis, Carmel and throughout Indiana. To find out more about the pros and cons of both types of breast implants, visit our web page dedicated to silicone gel breast implants.
Of course, the right choice for you regarding the type of breast implant can only by made after a thorough discussion with Dr. Fata. You will also learn about the advantages and disadvantages of different types of incisions and implant placement.

Body Contouring Surgery
What is body contouring surgery? It is a broad term that includes all surgical procedures in which fat and/or skin is removed from the breast, tummy, arms or legs to improve one's overall body shape and contour. Although some weight may be lost, it is not considered to be a weight loss tool.
The plastic surgery procedures under the umbrella of body contouring surgery include breast lift, breast reduction, tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty), arm lift (or brachioplasty), thigh lift and liposuction. Candidates for these procedures include patients at ideal weight with unwanted fat deposits, overweight patients looking for improvement, and patients who have lost large amounts of weight, either through weight loss (bariatric surgery) or other means. Bariatric, or weight loss, surgery is a rapidly growing field and St. Vincent Carmel Hospital, located adjacent to the Carmel Ambulatory Surgery Center where Dr. Fata performs his cosmetic surgery procedures, is one of the largest volume bariatric centers in Indiana and the Midwest.
Non-Invasive Procedures
The term non-invasive procedure has been coined to describe a broad array of non-surgical techniques designed to improve ones' appearance. Although it may sound simple, these injections should be performed by a cosmetic surgeon. These techniques include the injection of solutions to relax the muscles and improve wrinkles (BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®), and the injection of filler materials to smooth out wrinkles (Juvederm®, and Restylane®).
BOTOX® Cosmetic and filler injections have demonstrated such rapid growth that they are now the most common cosmetic procedures performed in the Midwest. Non-invasive options also include topical treatments, such as laser skin treatments (the FRAXEL® Laser), dermabrasion, and chemical peels. The indications for these topical treatments include the effects of aging and sun damage (wrinkles, brown spots, loss of skin tone) and acne scars. Plastic surgeon Dr. Fata performs all of these non-invasive procedures, including the FRAXEL® Laser, in his Indianapolis plastic surgery office.
One exciting new development in the non-invasive arena is the recent approval by the FDA of Latisse®, the only treatment for short, thinning eyelashes. Latisse® has been shown to stimulate the growth of longer and fuller eyelashes. At Renaissance Plastic Surgery in Indianapolis, Indiana, Dr. Fata offers prescription strength Latisse® as well as a new hair product, Age Intervention®, a hair conditioner that results in noticeably thicker and fuller hair. Many patients using Age Intervention® have even noticed new hair growth.
Call 317-575-9152 to contact cosmetic surgeon Dr. Fata to learn more about these exciting new innovations in skin and hair care.
Dr. Fata is a top Breast Enhancement doctor on RealSelf.

Berne, 13 June 2012
Seven years ago, Swisscom introduced Natel liberty, an hour-base tariff for mobile telephony, which meant that customers no longer needed to worry about the duration of their calls. However, the popularity of smartphones is leading to a change in customer requirements: While most customers see telephony and texting as part of everyday life, e-mail, apps and video services such as YouTube are becoming ever more important. Current mobile tariffs, where providers charge according to call duration and data volume, will not be able to keep pace with this development. The new Natel infinity subscriptions meant that customers will no longer need to worry about how often or how much they call, text or surf. The subscriptions will cover all calls in Switzerland, all SMS messages sent and unlimited surfing, which will create transparency as the subscription price generally corresponds to the amount of the monthly bill. The new subscriptions will have low fixed prices of between CHF 59 and CHF 169 per month and customers will continue to receive a mobile phone at a reduced rate. The subscriptions will be available from 25 June.
Today's mobile subscriptions generally include a limited volume of data, meaning that additional costs are often incurred where this is exceeded. However, surveys of Swisscom customers have shown that they are unable to visualise megabytes and often do not know how much data they send and receive. As a result, they restrict their usage to avoid extra charges. The new Natel infinity subscriptions will render this unnecessary, as they will include data traffic. The offerings will be the first to offer a choice of transmission speeds, which are easier for customers to understand.
Customers will in future only pay for the speed they require. While some mainly use apps and e-mail on their mobiles, others want to view YouTube videos while on the move. This places differing requirements on the mobile network and so the new subscriptions will be billed by Swisscom in a similar way to domestic DSL connections, with those who do not require high-speed surfing paying less than those needing higher speeds.
Natel infinity is only the first step for Swisscom. Later this year, the youth subscriptions are to be modified, along with subscriptions for customers who do not require mobile internet on their mobile. The new subscription structure will also have an impact on fixed network offers, which will be reviewed by Swisscom in the coming months.
Swisscom customers already benefiting from telephony, Internet and television via the Vivo Casa bundled offering will be able to save when on the move with the new subscriptions. The Tutto benefit means that they pay up to CHF 25 less per month for their Natel infinity subscription. Bundled offerings are in great demand, with around 659,000 using these offerings at the end of March 2012.
The new offerings will allow the majority of customers to make savings, despite their rising usage. In recent years, price erosion at Swisscom has varied between CHF 400 - 500 million per year. This price erosion will continue this year, with the majority of it the result of the new mobile tariffs. The influence of the new tariffs was accounted for in the forecast for this year, which means that the anticipated net revenue of CHF 11.4 billion and EBITDA of CHF 4.4 billion for 2012 continue to apply.
Swisscom is able to offer its customers worry-free mobile usage and subscriptions differentiated by speed because of its excellent infrastructure. According to independent network tests conducted by Connect und Kassensturz, Swisscom has the best mobile network in Switzerland. Swisscom is overhauling its mobile network to ensure that it continues to offer its customers the best network. Swisscom will therefore invest around CHF 1.5 billion over the next five years and also press ahead with the expansion of 4G. Swisscom customers will thus be able to enjoy increased network capacity and faster connections.

Psychedelics, Shamanism and 2012
Well as you may know, depending on who you ask, it means either the destruction of this world or the coming of a new golden age. As you might guess I subscribe to neither assertion. If the astronomical data is correct around the time of December 21st of this year the earth will be near a point in space that aligns with the center of the galaxy on the plane of the ecliptic. If that data is accurate then there is a possibility that some kind of energy change will happen in our solar system. The sun is a giant electromagnetic fusion reactor and it is possible that this event, which last happened about 26,000 years ago, could trigger some kind of solar reaction. That in turn could have a direct effect on the earth.
I am not necessarily talking about a coronal mass ejection, nor giant solar flares. However, such things could happen. My gut instinct as well as divination tell me that the effects will be subtle. The change in solar radiation will cause a change in human behavior. Some evidence exists that cycles of high solar activity many times result in times of violence and crisis in human populations. What is different this time is the position of our solar system in relation to the galactic center. Will this alignment cause a fundamental change in the kind of solar radiation hitting the planet? I suspect it will.
Those of you who are familiar with the webbot project at www.halfpasthuman.com will notice that the head time monk Clif High has suggested that around March of this year we will be experiencing what he calls "release language" What that means, without getting too technical is that humans are going to be in a state of releasing pent up tension on a grand scale. This has happened before according to Clif, an example would be 9/11. The same kind of release was experienced, however tensions started building again within days of the event. With this event coming in March the tensions don't start to appreciably build until June if I am reading his interpretations correctly.
So what does this mean? And how does it relate to the 2012 end times date?
Well first I would say that March is the beginning of spring, so astronomically there will be differences in how the earth is positioned in relation to the sun and by extension, the galactic center. My guides have let me know that this will not be a time of great disaster, at least not for those living in the NW of the USA instead we will be seeing a series of events that will totally blow our collective mind. One of my guides told me that it will be for many people like they woke up and found out that they were living in a Sci Fi movie. In other words some strange shit is going to go down. This high weirdness will be experienced on such a grand scale that people will be talking about it for months. What kind of weirdness? Hard to say exactly. My guides were being cryptic on this point but I would gather that we are going to all be experiencing things that will make many of us think we are going crazy. Except that it will be happening to enough other people that collectively we are all going to know that something weird is happening. Think missing time, time slips, mass UFO sightings, massive paranormal experiences, etc.
Now this leads me up to Dec 21. By that time I think that a large percentage of humans, maybe not the majority but a large percentage will ready for some kind of reality shifting event. There will be gatherings on a massive scale. Hundreds of thousands of people will gather together to pray for peace, understanding and global awakening. I believe that this gathering of humanity will have such a profound effect that it will cause our world to experience an awakening on a species wide level. It will be like the whole world took a dose of Yage! This will cause a death to the old world and a birth to a new one.
Those of you who can, I suggest making shamanic journeys to communicate with your guides as often as possible between now and March to acclimate yourself to the new meme that will be spreading through humanity. Furthermore if you can find a qualified ayahuascero to lead you in a ceremony. I have written on this blog before of my personal experiments and while I feel they have done me no harm physically or psychically. I must concede that I am not typical. If you have never done powerful psychedelics before in ritual then I would suggest finding someone experienced in doing so. Ideally an experienced shaman but living in North America you find it hard to find one. As an alternative I suggest using a lighter mind altering substance such as marijuana or perhaps a small dose of mushrooms. Combine that with a shamanic drumming tape or binaural beats. I have such a ritual that I will be posting in the next couple of days to help those who may want to get in contact with their spirit guides to help them handle this time of transition.
Please note that I am not saying it is necessary to take a psychoactive, it may be you will not need such help. This may especially be true if you use binaural tapes with invocational scripts. If you are uncomfortable or inexperience in the use of mild altering substances in general then please do NOT use them. These states can be experienced without mind altering drugs. This blog is called Psychedelic Shamanism so it is from that perspective that I report my experiments and experiences but I do not suggest anyone copy what I am doing unless they are experienced or unless they wish to risk their sanity.
Symbiosis Gathering 2012 - Solar Eclipse
I live within driving distance to this event and I am going to be attending. Any of you who want to meet up there, just leave me a comment and we can make arrangements. For ticket info go to http://www.pyramideclipse.com
Looks like this is going to be a really cool gathering and the fact that an eclipse is taking place makes it a once in a lifetime event for those of use in the North American west.
See ya there

Being a Psychedelic Shaman or Hallucinogenic Magick in Theory and Practice
Being a Psychedelic Shaman or Hallucinogenic Magick in Theory and Practice
Plant alchemy and Gnosis
This line of thinking leads me to contemplate the role of plants in human diet. It is widely believed that our earliest human ancestors were primarily vegetarian, but were opportunistically omnivorous, meaning that we would occasionally scavenge kills from predictors to supplement our diet with the much more calorie dense meat. I for one find this hard to believe. Personally I think that the earliest humans were most likely like chimps in that we ate bugs for protein and fruits and vegetables when we could find them and would hunt small animals occasionally. I know this sounds like I am going off on a tangent here but bare with me. So you see, as far as plants go, humans would go for fruits and vegetables, roots, tubers etc. However, how ever did we develop some of the sophisticated forms of plant medicines that ancient peoples had access to?
This is where magic and altered states go hand and hand. Dreams are the one altered state that can be said to be common to all humans. The dream state has for all of mankind's history been seen as a direct path to communication with gods, spirits, ghosts and all the other denizens of the spirit world. Theses spirits in many times are helpful and act as teachers to those who seek out knowledge and guidance. In cultures that view the world as pantheistic (spirit exists in everything) plants are seen as conscious beings that humans can communicate with. In fact in many shamanic traditions, psychoactive plants are called Teacher Plants. Shamans in these traditions report that they are taught how to use the plants in different ways by the plants themselves, or rather the spirits of the plants. These communications may start as rituals of communion months or years before the plants themselves are consumed. By building a relationship with the plant spirit, the shaman learns all he needs to know about how to use the plant and how to navigate the altered states that the plants produce.
In this way, modern shamans differ greatly with those of generations past. Today, you can buy all the ingredients for Ayahuasca by mail, mix it up in your kitchen and be tripping and barfing by that evening. There is no perceived need to commune with the plant. I think this is a mistake and a missed opportunity for modern psychedelic shamans. By personifying the plant spirits and by addressing them, we can build relationships with these plants and maybe develop new techniques and new practices based on knowledge given by the plants themselves. This is the approach that our ancestors took and it seemed to work pretty damn good, considering that they were about to discover plant combinations that would take millions of years to happen upon by mere chance.
Coming Soon!
A full modern ayahuasca ritual to invoke the spirit of yage and begin the process of making yage your spirit ally.
Can Psychedelics Ever Become Mainstream
Even though I work every day twards realizing that goal, I can't help but wonder if we can ever have a world like that. I notice that behaviors and lifestyles that are out of the mainstream sometimes take generations to gain the tolerance let alone acceptance of the majority. Just look at the homosexual community in the US. A generation ago being gay was seen as antisocial, immoral, sinfull, illegal and dangerous. Today, while there are still those who still believe those things about Gays, those attitudes are starting to fade. However gays still do not enjoy complete acceptance by the mainstream and it may take another 30 year before being gay is seen as just another lifestyle. Drug use is even more problematic when it comes to gaining acceptance. We are still living at a time when drug use and drug users are seen as antisocial, immoral, sinful, illegal and dangerous. Homosexuality is for the most part now seen as being something that you are born with and not a choice (why this should make a difference I do not know) which has helped the general public sympathize with the plight of homosexuals. Drug use is seen as a choice and indeed it IS a choice but it is a viable choice for those who wish to alter their perceptions. Will the Just Say No attitude ever change? There are some signs that such attitudes are changing, but as long as the consumption of drugs to alter our minds is seen as ESCAPIST and somehow a sign of weakness we will always face a certain stigma from the public.
Take for instance the medical marijuana legal rollercoaster of the past 4 years. First, President Obama campaigned on a platform that you shouldn't keep sick people away from their medicine. Further he suggested that medical marijuana was a low priority and that dispensaries and patients would not be harassed. Now, 4 years later with his 2nd term in jeopardy, President Obama is allowing his Justice Department to use threats and intimidation to cow state and local authorities. States like California that had a thriving medical marijuana industry are now facing threats of closure form local authorities. I actually feel sorry for these local officials. In many cases the US Attorney General has suggested that by granting business licences to these California LEGAL businesses, that they are somehow committing a Federal offense. So local officials are caught between carrying out the will of California voters or facing Federal drug prosecution.
Poles show again and again that most Americans favor legal medical marijuana. However this doesn't matter to the president. Drug prohibition is big business and the Obama administration has never met a government program it wanted to cut, so naturally they need to ramp up spending again for the drug war. Its all an endless cycle. Peoples attitudes have obviously changed but the government doesn't know or care about this. Government has to enforce control over people.
Until such a time that psychoactive drugs become legally available for all Americans, the only way that we can exercise our human right to consume what we want, is be outlaws. The suburban shamans mixing up ayahuasca or yage in their kitchen to share with his friends. The covert mushroom growers who are looking to grow just enough for their own use and maybe a bit more for friends. The medical marijuana patient that has to grow his own in order to secure a supply of his medicine. All of us in the psychedelic underground, we must stay the coarse. Our time will come. It may take decades but I have no doubt that legal access and use will be available in our lifetime. Until then, keep up the fight. Keep up the research. Keep the drums beating.

Calif. counties lose bid to overturn marijuana law
Associated Press
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Federal law does not pre-empt state law in a court battle over the licensing of medical marijuana, an appeals court has ruled.
San Diego and San Bernardino counties had argued that issuing identification cards to eligible users, as required by the 1996 state law, would violate federal law, which does not recognize the state measure.
But the appeals court concluded Thursday that ID card laws "do not pose a significant impediment" to the federal Controlled Substances Act because that law is designed to "combat recreational drug use, not to regulate a state's medical practices."
San Diego supervisors had sued to overturn the state law after it was passed by voters in 1996, but a Superior Court judge ruled against them in 2006. The county appealed last year and was joined by San Bernardino.
The counties have 40 days to either appeal Thursday's ruling to the California Supreme Court or implement an ID card program.
"The court didn't really get to the key issue," said Thomas D. Bunton, senior deputy county counsel in San Diego. "(Federal law) clearly regulates medical practices. It says marijuana has no currently accepted medical use."

Neuroscientists find God in mushrooms
Wednesday July 12, 2006
By Jeremy Laurance
LONDON - A universal mystical experience with life-changing effects
can be produced by the hallucinogen contained in magic mushrooms,
scientists claimed yesterday.
Forty years after Timothy Leary, the apostle of drug-induced
mysticism, urged his 1960s hippie followers to "tune in, turn on, and
drop out", researchers at Johns Hopkins University in the US have for
the first time demonstrated that mystical experiences can be produced
safely in the laboratory.
They say that there is no difference between drug-induced mystical
experiences and the spontaneous religious ones that believers have
reported for centuries. They are "descriptively identical".
And they argue that the potential of the hallucinogenic drugs, ignored
for decades because of their links with illicit drug use in the 1960s,
must be explored to develop new treatments for depression, drug
addiction and the treatment of intolerable pain.
Anticipating criticism from church leaders, they say they are not
interested in the "Does God exist?" debate. "This work can't and won't
go there."
Interest in the therapeutic use of psychedelic drugs is growing around
the world. In the UK, the Royal College of Psychiatrists debated their
use at a conference in March for the first time for 30 years. A
conference held in Basel, Switzerland, last January, reviewed the
growing psychedelic psychiatry movement.
The drug psilocybin is the active ingredient of magic mushrooms, which
grow wild in Wales and were openly sold in London markets until a
change in the law last year.
For the Johns Hopkins study, 30 middle-aged volunteers who had
religious or spiritual interests attended two eight-hour drug
sessions, two months apart, receiving psilocybin in one session and a
non-hallucinogenic stimulant - Ritalin - in the other. They were not
told which drug was which.
One-third described the experience with psilocybin as the most
spiritually significant of their lifetime and two-thirds rated it
among their five most meaningful experiences.
In more than 60 per cent of cases the experience qualified as a "full
mystical experience" based on established psychological scales, the
researchers say. Some likened it to the importance of the birth of
their first child or the death of a parent.
The effects lasted for at least two months. Eight out of 10 of the
volunteers reported moderately or greatly increased wellbeing or life
satisfaction. Relatives, friends and colleagues confirmed the changes.
The study is one of the first in the new discipline of "neurotheology"
-the neurology of religious experience. The researchers, who report
their findings in the online journal Psychopharmacology, say that,
though unorthodox, their aim is to explore the possible benefits of
drugs like psilocybin.
Professor Roland Griffiths, of the department of neuroscience and
psychiatry at Johns Hopkins, said: "As a reaction to the excesses of
the 1960s, human research with hallucinogens has been basically frozen
in time. I had a healthy scepticism going into this. [But] under
defined conditions, with careful preparation, you can safely and
fairly reliably occasion what's called a primary mystical experience
that may lead to positive changes in a person.
"It is an early step in what we hope will be a large body of
scientific work that will ultimately help people."
A third of the volunteers became frightened during the drug sessions
with some reporting feelings of paranoia.
The researchers say psilocybin is not toxic or addictive, unlike
alcohol and cocaine, but that volunteers must be accompanied
throughout the experience by people who can help them through it.
The study is hailed as a landmark by former director of the National
Institute on Drug Abuse, Charles Schuster, in a commentary published
alongside the research.
In a second commentary, Huston Smith, America's leading authority on
comparative religion, writes that mystical experience "is as old as
humankind" and attempts to induce it using psychoactive plants were
made in some ancient cultures, such as classical Greece, and in some

"But this is the first scientific demonstration in 40 years, and the

Enthogens, DNA, and Technology
I had passed over this books many times in the passed not realizing that it was a detailed account of one man's attempt to understand the enthogen ayahuasca and how the knowledge aquired through its use is just as valid as how western science aquires knowledge. Indeed in its own way it is superior to western science in that the plants are the teachers of how to use them. There is no guessing involved. Here is a brief synopsis of the book.
Originally sent to try to prove the economic efficacy of how the natives of the region use the plants, he was initially fustrated by how the shamans described how they went about finding out the medicinal uses of these plants. While no one would argue with the effectivness of these plants at curing, it was the shamans' claim that they were shown how to use the plants by ayahuasca. Ayahuasca being a hallucinagen, this was initially very fustrating to Mr Narby, how could he prove that these indians were using the plants in an econmicly efficient way if they claimed that they got the knowledge from the plants themselves. This conundrum leads the author to eventually experience the power of ayahuasca for himself. This becomes a totally transformational moment for the author. His experience leads him to the Radical idea that perhaps anthropoligists have been wrong in assuming that the discriptions of the spirits seen after taking ayahuasca were mere hallucinatory imaginings. Instead perhaps these visions should be taken literally!
This radical notion leads the author to consider that perhaps the serpents, vines and other serpentine motifs of the ayahuasca visions were actually DNA communicating with the mind of the shaman!
This book is absolutly fascinating and I cannot recommend it enough! It presents an idea of how our knowledge of the universe can be augmented by expanding our concepts of how the universe works and that by combining western science with the knowledge of tribal cultures can give us knowledge greater than what can be understood by either worldview alone.
Ayahuasca in National Geographic Adventure Magazine
For centuries, Amazonian shamans have used ayahuasca as a window into the soul. The sacrament, they claim, can cure any illness. The author joins in this ancient ritual and finds the worlds within more terrifying—and enlightening—than ever imagined.
I will never forget what it was like. The overwhelming misery. The certainty of never-ending suffering. No one to help you, no way to escape. Everywhere I looked: darkness so thick that the idea of light seemed inconceivable.
Suddenly, I swirled down a tunnel of fire, wailing figures calling out to me in agony, begging me to save them. Others tried to terrorize me. "You will never leave here," they said. "Never. Never."
I found myself laughing at them. "I'm not scared of you," I said. But the darkness became even thicker; the emotional charge of suffering nearly unbearable. I felt as if I would burst from heartbreak—everywhere, I felt the agony of humankind, its tragedies, its hatreds, its sorrows. I reached the bottom of the tunnel and saw three thrones in a black chamber. Three shadowy figures sat in the chairs; in the middle was what I took to be the devil himself.
"The darkness will never end," he said. "It will never end. You can never escape this place."
"I can," I replied.
All at once, I willed myself to rise. I sailed up through the tunnel of fire, higher and higher until I broke through to a white light. All darkness immediately vanished. My body felt light, at peace. I floated among a beautiful spread of colors and patterns. Slowly my ayahuasca vision faded. I returned to my body, to where I lay in the hut, insects calling from the jungle.
"Welcome back," the shaman said.
The next morning, I discovered the impossible: The severe depression that had ruled my life since childhood had miraculously vanished.
Giant blue butterflies flutter clumsily past our canoe. Parrots flee higher into treetops. The deeper we go into the Amazon jungle, the more I realize I can't turn back. It has been a year since my last visit, and I'm here again in Peru traveling down the Río Aucayacu for more shamanistic healing. The truth is, I'm petrified to do it a second time around. But with shamanism—and with the drinking of ayahuasca in particular—I've learned that, for me, the worse the experience, the better the payoff. There is only one requirement for this work: You must be brave. You'll be learning how to save yourself.
The jungle camp where our shamanistic treatment will take place is some 200 miles (322 kilometers) from the nearest town, Iquitos, deep in the Peruvian Amazon. Beside me are the other four members of my tour. There is Winston, the biggest person I've ever met. Nearly seven feet tall (two meters), surely over 400 pounds (181 kilograms), he has a powerful body that could easily rip someone apart. I expect him to be a bodyguard or a bouncer; turns out he's a security guard. But there is something else about him. Something less tangible. It seems to rest in the black circles beneath his eyes, the face that never smiles, the glances that immediately dismiss all they survey. Winston does not seem like a happy man.
Then the others: Lisa, who has a master's degree from Stanford and is now pursuing her doctorate in political theory at Duke University; Christy, who just quit her job counseling at-risk teens to travel around South America; and Katherine, Christy's British friend. By all appearances, our group seems to be composed of ordinary citizens. No New Age energy healers. No pan flute makers. No hippies or Rastafarians or nouveau Druids. Christy betrays only a passing interest in becoming a yoga instructor.
And then there is me, who a year ago came to Peru on a lark to take the "sacred spirit medicine," ayahuasca, and get worked over by shamans. Little suspecting that I'd emerge from it feeling as if a waterlogged wool coat had been removed from my shoulders—literally feeling the burden of depression lifted—and thinking that there must be something to this crazy shamanism after all.
And so I am back again.

Binaural Beats, Ayahuasca and Sorcery
I designed a 60 min audio program to entrain my brain to go from alph for 20 min. to theta for 20 min. finally finishing with 20 minutes of delta waves. I also recorded myself doing the ritual in its entirety from banishing, to invocation and final closing. I timed it so that the ritual would finish after 40 min. Allowing the last 20 min. to be left for activation of the ritual intent. I exported the program to an mp3 and loaded it on my pocket pc so I could listen to it with headphones and not have to be at my computer. I had started about 2 hours before this time by ingesting a 15 gram combination of Syrian Rue and Mimosa Hostilis. I was just starting to get some of the preliminary effects of the huasca when I donned my headphones and started the program. I then went into my room which I had prepared by dimming the lights and lighting some pleasent incense, and layed down on my bed. The combination of the brainwave entraining beats, my own voice doing the ritual and the ayahuasca gave me the most intense closed eyed visuals that I have ever had. I fully visualized myself doing the ritual as I was listening to it. I had a vision of myself dressed in cerimonial garb projecting energy and tracing flaming blue pentagrams in the air. I could feel the names of power vibrating in my body as I listened and visualized the ritual progress. During the invocational portion of the ritual I had the distinct feeling of being 'inhabited' by the entity that I was trying to invoke. I felt like I was filled up, that somehow my body had expanded to 10 times it's normal size! In the final 20 min. of the program I had a very detailed visionary experience that is a bit too personal for me to write about at this time but sifice it to say, I felt like I was being shown these things by this entity. I was told that this entity was working in conjunction with the ayahuasca to show me these things and that I should do more invocations if I wanted to strengthen my ablity to bring back knowledge from this state.
There is a lot more to the experience, but I still need time to process it. I will be writting more about it as I am able to intigrate more of the experience into my conscious memory.

Longer Clip of Terence Mckenna's Last Public Lecture
Non Drug Altered States from Viking Youth Power Hour
Daniel Pinchbeck, 2012 and the Return of Quetzalcoatl
Well I just started reading Daniel Pinchbeck's new book 2012
and I have to say that so far I am very impressed. Pinchbeck may indeed be Terence Mckenna's successor as the literary voice of the psychedelic community. Drawing from topics as varied as mayan and toltec myth, crop circles, alien abductions, amazonian shamanism and transpersonal psychology Mr. Pinchbeck has created in his words a though provoking "thought experiment" that resonated deeply with some of my deepest intuitions about the striking transformations that are taking place on this planet. If you would like to read an excerpt of the first two chapters you can find them at disinfo.com:
Chapter One
Chapter two
If you are interested in hearing Daniel talk about some of the themes found in 2012
you can tune into a podcast of a talk he gave at last years burningman festival entitled "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Dimensional Shift." This is just one of many interesting Podcasts From The Psychedelic Salon which include recordings of Terence Mckenna, Shasha and Ann Shulgin, Alex Grey and others of interest. Check them out!

Peak District volunteers have been recognised for their hard work and dedication at a national award ceremony.
Peak District National Park volunteer rangers won two out of three awards in the 2013 UK National Parks Volunteer Awards.
The annual awards recognise people's efforts over and above those normally expected of volunteers that have helped make national parks better places. They are organised by National Parks UK supported by Merrell, Natural Resources Wales and Natural England.
Dr Chamu Kuppuswamy, Peak District National Park, who won outdoor kit from Merrell after being named UK Volunteer of the year.
Dr Kuppuswamy, a law lecturer at Sheffield University, qualified as a Peak District National Park Authority volunteer ranger in 2012.
She won UK Volunteer of the Year for championing the national park to ethnic minority communities and using social media to raise awareness of the connection between local issues and global environmental challenges.
She said: "I have an amazing time whenever I am volunteering in the Peak District National Park and I am absolutely thrilled to be awarded for that.
"I think it is important to introduce people to what national parks can offer and get everyone thinking about our response to environmental challenges – it's the best way to keep these places special."
Peak District National Park volunteer rangers won Volunteer Group of the Year for their dedication and commitment to community and environmental work, in particular for the guided walks they provide for people with physical and mental health problems.
The walks are thoroughly researched by the volunteers and enrich their and others' understanding of the Peak District.
The group has provided the walks for more than 20 years.

The Commissioner for insurance, Mr Fola Daniel, has advised low income earners to use micro insurance products to manage their risks.
He gave the advice at a workshop organised by the commission for stakeholders on developing micro insurance in Nigeria in Abuja.
NAICOM has identified micro insurance as one of the financial instruments that could help in taking the challenges of poverty and other socio-economic burdens facing millions of Nigerians off them.
Daniel described micro insurance as a market-based mechanism that promised to support sustainable livelihood by empowering people to adapt and withstand the stress.
According to him, the Vision 20: 2020 described the insurance sector as 'grossly untapped opportunity with low attendant of market penetration'.
He attributed the development to sundry reasons, such as the nation's peculiar environment, limited awareness and the prescriptive nature of the insurance Act 2003 as well as negative public perception by those who are unaware of insurance.
The Commissioner said: "From empirical findings, it has been proved that low income earners can use micro insurance where it is available, as one of several tools to manage their risks.
"It is, therefore, expected that the insurance industry would leverage and key into this sector by developing the needed micro insurance products and services tailored to support, protect and assist the low income populace to alleviate poverty.
"Let me state clearly that micro insurance has been specifically designed for the protection of low income earners against specific perils in exchange for regular premium payments proportionate to the likelihood and cost of the risk involved.
On the purpose of the workshop, which was organised with the commission's partners, including GIZ of Germany, Access to insurance Initiative, Making Finance work for Africa and International Labour Organisation, the insurance expert said the objectives of the workshop were to access the findings and recommendations of the country-wide diagnostic research on micro insurance and to provide a platform for further in depth discussion among various stakeholders.

Something is wrong in America:
When policemen completely dismiss the concern of parents over the murders of their sons and explode in "righteous indignation" at the assassination of two of their own.
When an entire race of people are treated with disdain and when someone wants to speak about it, it is dismissed as the " race card".
When the "powers that be" set up systems and institutions that incarcerate our children, husbands and fathers on a whelm and call it "Equal Justice Under The Law".
When "children" are afraid of those who should be there to protect them.
When "Apartide" is not something "over there" but is practiced silently right here in our "Homeland" by other names:
Separate but equal
voucher systems
Prison (can you say Slave Labor)
Youth camps
Job Interviews
Inequality, the list goes on…
When "The Powers That Be" keep secrets that "we the people" have "voted them into office" to make sure are not kept from us.
When we are lied to and our interests are not carried out in the way we have been told they would be during election years.
When the rich have become so rich, everyone else is dismissed as "gad-flies" and completely ignored by those who want the last bit of dignity the people hold.
When other countries can claim our land, water, oil, rights and whatever the "Powers That Be" decide to give them and we have only the President to protect us.
When the air we breath poisons us and our water catches on fire and our food is made in a laboratory.
When we have lost "faith" in our Spiritual Leaders.
When all the people are still talking about who "matters" in the year 2015.
We the people need to wake up and recognize true power is vested in the people, but the people MUST speak out.
We must not be silenced just because someone made sure a "union boss" would be the tool they used to try and out shout you in the "guise" that he thinks his issue outweighs yours.
We must not be silenced just because "they" have kept the status quo in tact all these centuries. If ants can move a rubber tree plant, we should be able to move "The Powers That Be".
These are just some of the things that are pulling at the foundation of this country like an Undertow. We are stronger together. We are more alike than we are different but we fear what we don't understand. If someone tells you the same thing over and over again, you might begin to believe them until you see for yourself it wasn't true.
We must question everything. Discover the truth for yourself. Find out what the so called "other" is really like. We may be pleasantly surprised.

gothaa1 on 2011-12-11
This is an internet forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I have a similar story. Once I was very healthy. I used to play sports. As I started masturbation, the first thing I noticed was that I lost the glow from my face. My face became very ugly. I started to get skinny. Bones became extremely thin. My physical structure was terribly destroyed. Limbs got skinny (like toothpicks) and stomach bulged out. Then as time passed I got weaker and weaker physically and mentally. The very essence of my life was lost. I tried to quit but I couldn't. I'm still suffering from the consequences. Now I have decided to quit it forever. Don't believe the medical websites, articles and science guys who keep saying over and over again that masturbation is harmless. They are WRONG. Every medicine system, except modern medicine (which is very young) and almost every religion in the world is strictly against masturbation. Read 19th century medical books written on this subject. If anything can legitimately help you then it's these books. Read the book "Virile Powers of Superb Manhood" by Bernarr Macfadden. The author dedicates this book to the victims of masturbation. This book is gold. The techniques described in this book can be of great help. I am following these instructions and trying my best to recover. By the way, it's been a long time since you posted this. Have you recovered? Or do you still suffer from this? Please reply.

Troops counter Attack in OT
NORTH BAY, Ont. — The North Bay Battalion leaped off the bench to swarm Justin Brazeau on the end boards, and a Memorial Gardens crowd of 2,348 launched into a chant of "Go, Troops, go!"
Brazeau scored on the power play 21 seconds into overtime to give the Battalion a 3-2 comeback victory over the Owen Sound Attack in Ontario Hockey League play Thursday night.
Riley Bruce had one goal and one assist, Matthew Struthers also scored and goaltender Julian Sime contributed 30 saves for North Bay, which trailed 2-0 midway through the third period.
The Battalion, which won a third consecutive game for the first time since the start of the season, improved its won-lost-extended record to 16-19-6 for 38 points, third in the Central Division and sixth in the Eastern Conference, one point ahead of the Peterborough Petes. It was a welcome win after the OHL trade deadline passed at noon Wednesday, the Troops having consummated three deals in the previous seven days.
Jake Henderson, acquired Tuesday in a trade with the Kitchener Rangers, made his Battalion debut. Brett McKenzie and Brady Lyle, dealt to Owen Sound in separate trades this season, made their first returns to the Gateway City, while Struthers, acquired for McKenzie on Jan. 3, faced his former teammates for the first time. The Battalion's Nick King, acquired from Owen Sound on Oct. 23, played his previous team for the second time.
Lyle scored both Owen Sound goals, while goaltender Mack Guzda faced 17 shots for the Attack, 16-16-7 for 39 points, fourth in the Midwest Division.
"They're a really good hockey team, and in the first part of the game we really struggled with their speed, and it took us a while to adapt to it," said Battalion coach Stan Butler.
"When Riley scored the goal, it gave us a little bit of confidence and momentum. Up until that point, they were dominating the game and we weren't really in it. Julian kept us in it. But once Riley scored, it gave our guys some life, and we went from there."
With Cade Robinson serving a holdover tripping penalty from the third period, Adam Thilander set up the winner, moving into the left-wing circle and threading a pass to Brazeau, who was at the right side of the crease to jam the puck behind Guzda. Luke Burghardt earned the second assist on Brazeau's team-leading 28th goal of the season.
North Bay tied it with two goals 52 seconds apart in the third frame, sparked by Bruce at 12:12. He used his condor-like wingspan to wheel the puck home with a wrister from high on the right wing. Brandon Coe and Kyle Potts assisted on defenceman Bruce's fourth goal.
Struthers, who played 145 games with Owen Sound over two-plus seasons, found the equalizer at 13:04, steering a nifty backhanded pass from Burghardt past Guzda from the left side. Bruce also assisted on Struthers's 11th goal of the campaign and second with the Troops.
Defenceman Lyle struck first at 2:56 of the opening period when he lofted a wrister from the top of the right circle that eluded Sime, who was screened by Aidan Dudas. Lyle scored his seventh goal and fifth with the Attack at 2:14 of the second period, hammering a pass from Alan Lyszczarczyk past Sime, again screened by Dudas, off the right wing.
The Battalion visits the Barrie Colts at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. The game can be seen live in North Bay on YourTV Channels 12 and 700 and heard on Country 600 CKAT.
BATTALION BULLETS: The teams completed their season series, after Owen Sound won 3-2 at home Oct. 28 … Each of Brazeau and Burghardt has a four-game points streak during which he has four goals and six assists for 10 points … Struthers has two goals and three assists for five points in four games with the Battalion … Potts has two goals and two assists for four points in the last four games … North Bay went 1-for-3 on the power play. Owen Sound was 0-for-3 … Opening lines featured Struthers centring left winger Burghardt and right winger Brazeau, Potts centring left winger Brad Chenier and right winger Coe and Rhys Forhan pivoting Adam McMaster on left wing and right winger Henderson. Luke Moncada centred Patrick Brown on left wing and right winger Andy Baker … North Bay scratched Simon Rose, Daniel Walker and Kurtis Evans … Winger Alex Robert, who cleared OHL waivers and was released by the Battalion this week, has joined the junior A Rockland Nationals of the Central Canada Hockey League … Among Owen Sound's scratches were Jonah Gadjovich and Jacob Friend, who served the second game of a four-game suspension for a head check in a 7-0 home-ice win Saturday night over Kitchener … McKenzie and Lyle were recognized via video highlights during the first-period promotional break … Guzda, a resident of Knoxville, Tenn., marked his 17th birthday Thursday.

WAYNESBORO, PA.-- Golfers could consume beer during tournaments at Waynesboro's municipal golf course if the borough council adopts new rules suggested by staff.
Borough Manager Lloyd Hamberger asked the council to consider changing the golf course's rules by ordinance. As that change is being drafted, he asked the council to waive the beer rule on a case-by-case basis for upcoming tournaments.
Allowing beer could lead to a greater number of tournaments and more revenue, Hamberger said last week.
"One of the things we pushed (new golf course manager) Mike (Rouzer) to do is have more tournaments down there," he said at Wednesday's borough council meeting.
The borough's insurance carrier said players older than 21 could bring their own beer, but the course couldn't sell it, according to Hamberger.

Gilbert K. Chesterton Quotes About SoldiersQuotes about: Soldiers
Soldiers have many faults, but they have one redeeming merit; they are never worshippers of force. Soldiers more than any other men are taught severely and systematically that might is not right. The fact is obvious. The might is in the hundred men who obey. The right (or what is held to be right) is in the one man who commands them.
They hate kings, they hate priests, they hate soldiers, they hate sailors. They distrust men of science, they denounce the middle classes, they despair of working men, but they adore humanity. Only they always speak of humanity as if it were a curious foreign nation. They are dividing themselves more and more from men to exalt the strange race of mankind. They are ceasing to be human in the effort to be humane.

Eliot Circular

Photograph by Matt D'Annunzio
It takes a special kind of devotion to attend Reed. Then again, it also takes a special kind of devotion to wake up before sunrise twice a week and row furiously up and down the chilly Willamette River in all varieties of inclement weather. This year, a coed team of intrepid students, led by coach Dave Constant '09, have proved themselves in both categories. The resurrected Reed College Rowers, the college's first official team in over three decades, took to the water last fall and have been honing their skills ever since. With one race under their belts (their four-person boat took second place in Portland's fall regatta), the team—half of whom had never lifted an oar prior to joining—is out every week preparing for their second race this spring.
They join an illustrious tradition of Reed rowers, among them Mary Elizabeth Russell Bauer '43, who earned the prestigious distinction in 1941 of being the first female coxswain in collegiate rowing.
Seven decades after Mary's accomplishment, Dave rallies his troops at 6:30 a.m. before sending them onto the steely grey water, where he spends two hours bellowing encouragement and pointers through a plastic bullhorn. The crew, numb fingers resolutely gripping their oars, respond with sardonic enthusiasm, adjusting strokes and postures amid jokes about dodging the unsavory debris washed into the river by heavy spring rain. "It's about consistency and rhythm," explains history major Aaron Mendelson '10. "I was used to endurance sports in high school—just going all out until the finish line, but if you rush through rowing you're missing the point."
In spite of the predawn reveille and freezing wind, Aaron and the team ship oars and haul their vessels onto the dock in high spirits, ready to be back on campus in time for 9 a.m. lectures—but only after a nice, hot shower.
—Lucy Bellwood '12
Senior Nabs Fulbright
Psychology major Marjorie Nicholson '10 has won a Fulbright Fellowship to pursue neurological research at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.
Marjorie will investigate the neurological circuitry of alcohol addiction—specifically the role of the hormone ghrelin in increasing the pleasurable effects of alcohol. She will conduct her research in the laboratory of physiologist Dr. Suzanne Dickson at the Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology at Gothenburg.
Marjorie was thrilled to learn she had been awarded the scholarship. "I am looking forward to diving into this awesome adventure," she told us. "I would like to thank everyone in the Reed community for their help, love, and support. I could not have done it without them."
Describing Marjorie's proposal, Dr. Dickson wrote: "The ideas are rather advanced for such a young researcher and I was much impressed."
The Fulbright program provides students with the chance to exchange values, knowledge, and ideas with citizens and institutions abroad. It was founded under legislation drawn up by the late Senator J. William Fulbright in 1946, and is sponsored by the United States Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Today, the Fulbright program operates in more than 150 countries and its scholarships are among the most highly coveted academic awards worldwide.
Marjorie, who is an accomplished cellist, also looks forward to playing classical music during her stay in Gothenburg.

Stauder to Be Dean of Faculty
Ellen Keck Stauder, the David Eddings Professor of English and Humanities, has been appointed by President Colin Diver to serve as Reed's next dean of the faculty, starting in June.
"I am honored to have been chosen for this position," says Professor Stauder, "and very much look forward to working with the faculty and the entire community, especially as we celebrate Reed's centennial and begin a new chapter in the college's history."
Professor Ellen Keck Stauder
Stauder did not grow up dreaming of being a college dean. An accomplished clarinetist, she originally intended to become a professional musician, but an accident in college involving her wrist made playing more difficult. Switching to music history, she was intrigued by the different ways in which performers and historians viewed the same piece of music, and then by bigger questions such as the relationship between music and other forms of artistic and intellectual expression. "I sort of backed into academia," she says.
Stauder earned a BM at the Eastman School of Music, an MA in English at the College of St. Rose, and a PhD in the history of culture at the University of Chicago. She has been teaching at Reed since 1983. She served as associate provost from 1989–93 and as interim dean of the faculty in 2001–02.
Stauder's interests include the poetry of Ezra Pound, modernism, lyric poetry, the relationship between poetry and the other arts, and prosody—the study of rhythm, intonation, and stress. She has recently completed a book manuscript, Form Cut into Time: The Poetics of Rhythm in the Poetry of Ezra Pound, and begun working on a new project involving the ethics of listening and the role of beauty in poetry from Keats to Levertov. In 2000, she created an interactive tutorial that helps students understand the way rhythm structures temporal experience in poetry (give it a whirl at academic.reed.edu/english/intra).
"There are some obvious things that people point to when we talk about what makes Reed distinctive," she says. "The humanities, the junior qual, the senior thesis. And, of course, overall there is a level of seriousness about the academic program—our mission is focused on the intellectual experience. But I think what makes Reed special are the people who are committed to that mission, and who bring their own vision and dedication to it."
Among the many issues that Stauder will face is the role that scholarship should play in the evaluation of faculty members. "Reed has never valued publication for its own sake," Stauder says—but there is an argument to be made about the value of scholarship in broadening a professor's knowledge of the field.
"Among the current faculty there is really no one who is as well prepared to step into the shoes so admirably filled by Peter Steinberger over the past 13 years," says President Diver. The news of her appointment triggered enthusiastic and sustained applause at the faculty meeting when it was announced.
Stauder will succeed Peter Steinberger, the Robert H. & Blanche Day Ellis Professor of Political Science and Humanities, who has served as dean of the faculty since 1997, except in 2001-02, when he served as acting president of the college. Professor Steinberger will take a yearlong sabbatical in Paris to conduct some research and will return to full-time teaching in the fall of 2011.

Oh, my, what a lovely (and unique) pattern! How large will this quilt be?ReplyDelete
Wow! I love how you choose fabrics. I'm trying to achieve an antique look (with a quilt!) at the moment & your blog is great inspiration for that. Thank you for detailing your method too - I hope putting it together goes smoothly.ReplyDelete
Lovely blocks.ReplyDelete
I really like this pattern in Linda's book too I hadn't thought to do it with EPP, I hadn't looked at the book for awhile so do not remember did she do this one with EPP or is that your idea? I know some that are addicted to EPP do all quilts this wayReplyDelete
Beautiful fabric choices and fussy cutting. Thank you for sharing your process.ReplyDelete
Love it! I like the basket with the squirrel. You have used some marvelous fabrics in making the basket blocks.ReplyDelete
First time I see this basket. It's so lovely. I can't believe you are piecing the entire basket by hand and have all the blocks already made. Amazing! You are amazing! This quilt is another Masterpiece in the making. Enjoy the Spring cheers! ;^)ReplyDelete
What a lovely basket pattern and your fabric choices are perfect--as always! Loved reading about your EPP method for making the blocks. Daffodils make me smile. Yours are beautiful :)ReplyDelete
What a beautiful quilt you are making!ReplyDelete
I always enjoy hearing your take on a pattern. Your blocks are beautiful.ReplyDelete
Very pretty daffodils and your blocks are lovely !ReplyDelete
I made this quilt before Brenda sold it Linda. This quilt can be put together without Y seams. I used partial seaming and it went together beautifully. I did not like the way Quiltmania wrote the instructions-too hard. Yours will be gorgeous. I made mine like the original.ReplyDelete
It is beautiful again! I love your work a lot!ReplyDelete
Your quilt will be beautiful. Glad you found an easier way for younto assemble the blocks. Quiltmania's instructions are always so hard. I will use the instructions from the original pattern by Sarah Francis.ReplyDelete
Another stunning quilt! I like your method. I've been trying to resist adding this book to my collection, but I can see it is futile--lol!ReplyDelete
Your quilt is gorgeous! I love the fussy cutting.ReplyDelete
My heavens--what a gorgeous quilt--and I LOVE your EPP-ing (is that a word? Well, it should be lol) instead of fidgeting with matching those points--my bugaboo, too...ReplyDelete
Your fabric choices are simply perfect...beautiful work hugs, Julierose
Wow. The name of your blog is so fitting, Hilda - Every Stitch. It speaks to the minute details so painstakingly (and lovingly) executed in the making of your magnificent quilts. This will be another masterpiece, the whole far exceeding the sum of its parts.ReplyDelete
Reading your blog, observing and studying your process, has a calming effect on me, and inspires me to slow down, take a deep breath, remember what it is I'm trying to acheive, and to take the time to make it right. I thank you so much for sharing.
It's a rather elegant looking basket. I love the colors and fabrics you have chosen.ReplyDelete
Really beautiful!ReplyDelete
Again, you inspire me! Such a lovely quilt block and such soft, beautiful colors. I particularly like it because it is not a cross, but more organic. Beautiful!ReplyDelete
My Goodness!! Where to begin? Your fabrics are so lovely and really shown up wekll with your fussy cutting. Just love the alternate plan/solution of the EPP - genius! You could avoid the Y seams (who needs that challenge!!) when you piece your blocks by working in diagonal rows. Looking forward to seeing your bautiful finished top!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful basket block. I've never seen it before and admire the handles and the setting. So different. Thanks for sharing your piecing details.ReplyDelete
I love your method. I was always thinking that small triangles will make it too difficult for me to be accurate, but with epp - easy, why not?! Thank you. Your quilt is as always inspiring.ReplyDelete
Your quilting is amazing and the quilt is a masterpiece. you can be so proud after such a delicate work.Congratulations alreadyReplyDelete
I love these baskets! This is an exciting WIP :0) Its so interesting to read your process remarks. Its going to be a beauty!ReplyDelete
Beautiful blocks! Those fussy cuts are such a sweet surprise. I really enjoy observing your process when you piece your quilts.ReplyDelete
Another breathtaking beauty Hilda! I adore these blocks. And, I think the EPP gives the block a softer look. Just beautiful!ReplyDelete
I adore these baskets! Your color choices are so gentle and soft. Always an inspiration to come look at your projects!ReplyDelete
I love this project! It is one of my fav quilts in Linda's book, before I saw this in her book I had never seen baskets like these before. Such an interesting technique you use, it looks very precise. Beautiful fabric choices!ReplyDelete
Lovely blocks! Your method has obviously worked well for you. Looking forward to seeing the lattice!ReplyDelete
So beautiful! Your ideas and quilts are an inspiration for me!ReplyDelete
It is lovely! I love how you fussy cut the fabrics and used such a variety. I would never even think of using EPP for piecing the HSTs!ReplyDelete
Loving your fabric choices for this quilt. It's going to be another stunner !ReplyDelete
I think this is one of the most significant information for me.ReplyDelete
And i'm glad reading your article.
But should remark on some general things, the web site style is perfect,

I love these baskets! This is an exciting WIP :0) Its so interesting to read your process remarks. Its going to be a beauty!ReplyDelete

Gerard Butler to star in Escape From New York remake?
THIS IS BUTLER! Unbelieveable news here, and this could be either a complete triumph or disaster, but Gerard Butler could be starring in a remake of the classic John Carpenter film Escape From New York and playing the superb character of Snake Plissken made famous by Kurt Russell.
I loved that film, and I loved Russell from it, I think I began following him after that film and he quickly moved up my favourite actor list.
The film is about Snake who is a complete bad-ass anti-hero against all forms of establishment. He's been in prison and against the law more times than you could believe, and this is his last chance, but there's an out. The President's plane has crashed over the prison island of New York and the President is lost, the rescue team sent in to get him can't find him and they need one man who can blend in to go get him. So they fit Snake with an explosive device, a timer, and a single mission, get the President out alive and you'll live.
According to Variety several studios are looking to get the picture for a remake and to pull Butler into the action lead. Here's what they say:
Gerard Butler is at the center of a package that CAA began shopping Monday for a remake of John Carpenter's 1981 actioner "Escape From New York."
Neal Moritz is attached to produce, with "Black Hawk Down" scribe Ken Nolan penning the screenplay.
Apparently we're waiting to hear an answer this week. What do you think about this? Before 300 (Filmstalker review) I think we would have been a bit sceptical but now there's a damn good chance that he could pull this off. If the studio get behind it and do it right this could be a cracker of a remake and the names attached so far sound quite good.
Could it work? Could Butler carry off Snake, and if this turns out to be true could it work?

London: British Open champion Darren Clarke has appointed Phil "Wobbly" Morbey, who used to caddie for former world number one Ian Woosnam, as his new bagman.
Clarke`s management team said on Tuesday that Morbey would launch his partnership with the 43-year-old Briton at next week`s WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in Marana, Arizona.
The world number 54 announced in January that he had split up with John Mulrooney, the caddie who helped him land his first major championship at the Open in July.
Northern Irishman Clarke has been out of sorts since his victory at Sandwich, his best result a 20th-place finish at the Volvo Golf Champions tournament in South Africa last month.
He and Mulrooney parted company after the player slumped to rounds of 72 and 81 to miss the cut at the Abu Dhabi Championship two and a half weeks ago.
Morbey spent 14 years as caddie for Woosnam and was with the Welshman when he won the 1991 U.S. Masters.

Our review at Abertawe Bro Morgannwg Health Board centred on arrangements for safe, efficient and effective inpatient medicines management at its acute hospitals. This review is being carried out at all health boards in Wales.
There are many strengths in the way the Health Board manages medicines. But there are also risks associated with new management structures, variation in performance across hospital sites, storage facilities and some key medicines management processes.

In response, NY Renews, a statewide coalition of 100 environmental, community, and labor groups, released the following statement:
"The nomination of Scott Pruitt as EPA Administrator is an unmitigated disaster, yet more proof that the Trump administration intends to willfully ignore science and push our planet toward the brink of catastrophe, all at the bidding of the sole constituency they truly represent: the corporate elite.
As a former fossil fuel industry lobbyist, Scott Pruitt's only expertise lies in lining the pockets of his friends in Big Oil, at the expense of the lives and livelihoods of millions of Americans, especially poor people and people of color already feeling the impacts of climate change.
In the face of the Trump administration's rapacious greed, New York must lead the country in the fight against climate change. NY Renews is calling on Senators Schumer and Gillibrand to reject this nominee, and for Governor Cuomo to lead boldly in this moment of crisis. The Governor can stand up to Trump by proposing the nation's most ambitious climate policy—the Climate and Community Protection Act—as a key component of his budget.
By mandating that New York de-carbonize its economy (the world's 12th largest) by 2050, while protecting disadvantaged communities on the front lines and creating thousands of good green jobs, New York can break through the Trump administration's corrupt lies and send a signal to the rest of the world: that we are strong, united, and more determined than ever to rise to the challenge of climate change.
Let Trump and his cronies shirk the responsibilities of history. New York needs to lead the way, now more than ever."
TAKE ACTION: Tell Gov. Cuomo to be a Climate Leader!

Zoo Story
We enjoyed looking at the animals, especially the lorikeets, which you could feed by holding out a popsicle stick covered with bird feed.
I felt my usual ambivalence towards the zoo; the animals at Woodland Park have it pretty good; they live in reasonably spacious enclosures and given that the most were born in captivity, it's hard to imagine that there's anything particularly bad about their lives.
At the same time, though, I've taken lots of 5th and 6th graders to the zoo and I always ask them whether they'd be willing to trade places with the animals and if so, how large an enclosure they would need to feel they were living a satisfactory life. The general consensus is that a space at least as big as the state of Washington would be required; many students, though, insist they'd need a cage as big as the earth.
I would feel better about the zoo if it included a homo sapiens exhibit. There ought to be at least one cage with a family of human beings in it so we could see what it's really like for the animals. The humans could have a living room set up with a TV and even a wireless internet connection.
The animals could watch us, then; and it would only take a few chimps and few typewriters to write this.

The late Shooting Stars Sports Club's (3SC) number one supporter, Ganiyu Elekuru also known as 'Baba Eleran' was remembered during a photo exhibition tagged 'Football, A Nigerian Passion' organized by a sports photo journalist Ademola Bamigbelu in collaboration with the Ibadan based French village, also known as Alliance Francaise.
Alain Croguennec, a French and the director of the French village in his speech at the event said the photo football exhibition which will now be an annual event was their own way of celebrating Nigerian football fans after winning African Cup of Nations this year.
"As for football, needless to say that it is a fundamental part of any African society. Particularly in Nigeria, football is more than a sport in many regards, it is passion that inspires that youths and pushes them to train always harder, to go beyond limits.
"It is also formidable tool that the society together, it can only be stated that the entire country gets united when the national team comes into play. In brief, football is a characteristic of the Nigeria society that cannot be neglected," Croguennec noted.
The family of the late Baba Eleran who stormed the event in large numbers also expressed their gratitude to Bamigbelu, the photo journalist for remembering their father who died on November 5, 2005.

text: Daughter was charging her nook color last night and after about an hour heard a sharp cracking sound. When she looked at the nook she saw that the cable end had cracked open exposing the electronics inside. Found one small piece of the plastic on the carpet about 3 feet away. - No apparent damage to the nook and I called customer service this morning and they're sending a new cable free of charge. I asked the lady if she had heard of this happening before and she said she had not. Oh well, no harm done and new cable on the way.
