In The Dark?
Posted by gmconklin in Life and Existence on April 23, 2010
Are we all just in the dark?
Trying desperately to make our mark?
On society that cares not for your merit, only judging as a financial parrot?
Do what I do, do what I say
How can we ever grow this way?
I would postulate that all of the understanding that we need is standing within our grasp yet we will never reach out and take hold of it. Try to imagine your vision of a perfect world… whats in it? Money, fame, peace, love, etc… You must first let go of everything you know, yourself, your loved ones, even Christ asked us to do this. Not by way of abandonment, but simply by way of selflessness. If the greater good called you, would you answer? If you answered what would your answer be? Who of us is ready to lay down our prized worldly possessions to benefit the world? The depth to which we take this as a serious notion translates to our defined actions in this material world. If you KNEW that there were more to existence after corporeal death, would you be doing what you are doing today? How do we strive to know this? Can we attain that plane of knowledge? Clearly all of this plagues me every moment of my futile existence… Is it truly better to just remain oblivious to all things unknown, never to postulate any alternatives? Sadly it would appear so. However, for all I know, this level of suffrage is exactly what we are meant to experience. Was not the Tree of Knowledge, the test, the test unto which we failed by our own blind curiosity? What then must be the punishment for deliberately seeking such knowledge? I would most certainly accept madness in my endless pursuit of likely unattainable knowledge than blindly walk of the cliff with a smile on my face…
But truthfully, aren't I still in the dark?

Something to ponder for the day… or a lifetime…
God is love, but Love itself cannot be perfect unless it has those upon whom it can be lavished and by whom it can be returned. Therefore He put forth of Himself into matter and He limited His glory, in order that through this natural and slow process of evolution we might come into being; and we in turn according to His will are to develop until we reach even His own level, and then the very Love of God itself will become more perfect, because it will then be lavished on those, His own children, who will fully understand and return it, and so His great scheme will be realized and His Will will be done.
WordPress Automation
OK so I had a few minutes to spare today and I decided to finalize this mini-automation script for WordPress installs. Keep in mind that the assumption is made that you have used Virtualmin to create the preliminary aspects, vhost, mysql, doc root, etc… If not… this ain't gonna work as it is. I guess I could work up a more in-depth script to include these aspects, in fact that is how I started this idea in the first place, but the aspects of virtualmin really are pretty extensive and since I am using that to manage the vhosts anyway I just skipped that part, I mean why try to improve on a great integration aspect, besides it is unlikely I could do it better anyway. I would however like to translate this piece into a Perl mod to be added to the virtualmin GUI, that would be a cool improvement.
echo "Make sure you have created this VHost using virtualmin FIRST…"
sleep 5
echo "OK… moving on then"
sleep 2
echo "Enter the name of your new site, then press [ENTER}"
read newblog
# You need these if you are NOT using virtualmin FIRST !!
# mkdir /var/www/html/$newblog
# useradd -c '$newblog user' -p '$newblog' $newblog
# chown -R $newblog:$newblog $newblog
cd /home/$newblog/public_html
wget http://www.wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
tar xzf latest.tar.gz
rm -Rf latest.tar.gz
mv wordpress/* .
rm -Rf wordpress
chmod 777 .
# Link the themes & plugins from the default repo
# This makes the assumption that you actually HAVE a repo for themes and plugins…
# If you don't this ain't gonna do what we need it to !!
cd /home/$newblog/public_html/wp-content
mv themes bak.themes # <– Just in case we hose everything 😦
# Make the link directorie(s), if necessary and link 'em up
mkdir -p /var/www/repo/themes
ln -s /var/www/repo/themes /home/$newblog/public_html/wp-content/themes
mv plugins bak.plugins
mkdir -p /var/www/repo/plugins
ln -s /var/www/repo/plugins /home/$newblog/public_html/wp-content/plugins
cd ../
cp wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php
# Final directions
# Open the editor if needed but SED will do what you need
# vi wp-config.php
sed -i 's/putyourdbnamehere/'$newblog'/' wp-config.php
sed -i 's/usernamehere/'$newblog'/' wp-config.php
sed -i 's/yourpasswordhere/'$newblog'/' wp-config.php
chown -R $newblog:$newblog *
If you need webmin/virtualmin/cloudmin (I HIGHLY recommend them) you can spin this off:
# Virtualmin/Webmin/Cloudmin Installation
# cd /usr/src
# wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
# sh install.sh
# wegt http://cloudmin.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/cloudmin-gpl-redhat-install.sh
# sh cloudmin-gpl-redhat-install.sh
And that's it! Just navigate to your new URL (assuming that you made the proper DNS entries…) and configure WordPress from its admin console. I also thought this tutorial on SED was pretty useful although what I used here is very basic, just in case you need something more.
Happy Blogging 🙂
in Addition…
Posted by gmconklin in Life and Existence on April 18, 2010
In addition to the singular use of binaural exposure… Some as yet unknown combination of stimuli may in fact represent the true key to unlocking the final step to achieve a pure sense of harmony. By this I mean that if in fact we are able to "tune" ourselves to the state of the Universe instead of constantly being at odds within the great "chord" of life, finally resolving the dissonant chord and coming into perfect harmony with everything. What a path toward achievement that would be indeed. I find it odd that a major focus has not been placed upon this thought methodology. I have read and seen evidence to support that our aura, a vibration that we all exude, can be manipulated to in fact cure illness… Even if this is totally ludicrous, why haven't we formally disproved it? Why are we content to simply accept that it is non-viable? This I do not understand. I will continue to work on this topic and expose myself to these experiments and post the results as they are achieved. I can already say that binaural auditory exposure absolutely has an impact on your state of mind. To expound on this, at the very least i have been able to consistently achieve what is refereed to as the "theta" state of brainwave activity, most closely associated with the REM dream state. From only a 30 minute exposure I have NEVER been able to remain conscious throughout the entire duration of exposure. Obviously this is not the desired result, in fact maintaining consciousness while simultaneously maintaining the theta brainwave state is the desired conclusion, however my experiences still support a conclusion of success. other people I have made the recommendation of binaural exposure have had similar results. I postulate that complete sensory exposure would yield profound results. The correct combination may be an abstract to say the least, however like all things scientific, experiment is the key to realized success. I guess I will have to be the proverbial "guinea pig" here.

Bishop Eric Menees
"And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed." (Mark 1:35)
This week I have returned from my Sabbatical leave. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to the Diocesan Council for granting me the privilege of taking a two-month sabbatical leave. After thirty years of ministry, it was overdue and much appreciated. Of course, with respects to taking a sabbatical in the past I was my own worst enemy. No one had forbad me from taking a sabbatical, I just convinced myself that I was too busy, would let too many people down, or when I returned the workload would be even greater. I recognize now that this was simply pride speaking – I should have taken a sabbatical leave every ten years or so, and I suspect I would have been even more productive in the long run.
The need to step away, pray, and reflect is steeped in the scriptures, as we see from St. Mark above. That is exactly what I did on my time away. I began with a personal retreat for two-weeks in Ronan, Montana, at the home of a parishioner in the Diocese of Western Anglicans. The Hicks have opened the separate granny flat within their home to clergy who are seeking beauty, silence, and time with the Lord. This was exactly what I experienced during my time in Ronan. What a joy to take long walks at the foot of the Swan Range Mountains!
Following my time in Montana, I returned to the valley for two weeks of chores around the house that had long been put off. From there I attended the College of Bishops meeting in British Columbia, and then off for nearly a month at the Anglican Leadership Institute (ALI), which was held at the FOCUS Study Center on Martha's Vineyard.
During my time with ALI, I was honored to be with sixteen other leaders from around the world: Australia, Ireland, India, South Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, and Tanzania. The lectures and classes were terrific but the time spent with these others leaders was truly a blessing. To learn of their leadership challenges put in perspective the issues which I find vexing - lawsuits, etc. For example, the week before ALI began, gunmen ambushed Bishop Gabriel of South Sudan in his car. The car was hit seventeen times and, miraculously, only one person was hit and killed. In Northern Kenya, a horrific drought has been ravaging the area, killing livestock and people. In Northern Nigeria, Islamic Terrorists regularly attack and kill Christians, often specifically targeting Anglican Christians. And yet, in the midst of these challenges and countless others, these godly men continue to faithfully lead their dioceses with boldness and grace.
My sabbatical also gave me opportunity to reflect on the Diocese of San Joaquin and my ministry amongst all of you. I count myself immensely blessed to be, by God's grace, your bishop. I have returned rested and excited about the many challenges ahead.
I very much look forward to our upcoming Diocesan Convention and being able to see so many of the leaders in the Diocese.
I pray you all a very blessed week.

Our Company
We make high performing, natural skincare & grooming products for men.
Everyday, men from around the world use our products to look and feel better. We use the highest quality, natural & organic ingredients to offer the most effective men's skincare and grooming products available - We Guarantee It.
Why did we start a men's skincare and grooming company?
1. After doing research on popular skin care, shaving and grooming products, we discovered they were mostly filled with toxic, synthetic chemicals. We knew with today's technology, that all natural and organic skincare products could be more powerful than these synthetic products.
2. We were interested in using the best, most advanced men's skin care & grooming products, but we could never identify with the branding or ads for most of the companies.
3. All the best skin care products seemed to be for the ladies and buying a men's product from a traditional female focused company didn't feel right.
These three reasons were the driving force behind creating the most effective skin care and grooming products for men. The guy who knows taking care of himself makes for a better overall life. We wanted something a guy could wear while leading a business meeting, playing some pick up football, or a night out on the town with someone special.
We hope you enjoy our products and don't be surprised if your significant other starts stealing them; they're that good. And if you ever want to see how we use our own products, make sure to see our own personal daily routines.

Birch 2016/17
Welcome to Birch class!
Please find below our curriculum map for the year ahead:
Summer 1
'Why do cow's drink milk?'
We had a 'sparkling start' to the topic with a visit of some chicken eggs! We watched excitedly as the eggs began to hatch one by one! We all took good care of the baby chicks by making sure they had fresh water and chick food everyday. Some of us helped clean out the bedding and lots of us were really brave and held the chicks! After two weeks the chicks were re-homed at farms in the local area.
" It feels very soft and very cute" says Roxy.
In maths we were learning about halving numbers and used resources to support us to do this. We also investigated different shapes and the properties of shapes. We enjoyed making shape pictures and models and describing them.
"It's a rectangle, it has 2 ends and 2 long sizes." Millie remarks.
This half term we thought about healthy eating and making healthy choices. Guiseppe Archimboldo is a famous artist who created painting using different fruits and vegetables. We had fun creating our own healthy food faces by using our healthy snacks.Which one would you fancy eating?
Lots of us had family members to join us for fun in the forest which we linked to learning about maths. We made potions, did bug hunting and make necklaces using natural resources. Some of us sold pots of vegetables to the families so we had to use our adding and subtracting skills.
Our fabulous finish to the topic was our exciting visit to Jimmy's Farm! The children had lots of discussions about how to stay safe before we went:
"You must hold hands." Tillie-Lou says
"You need to wear your seatbelt". Ashton says
"Don't scream or shout at the animals and frighten them" Evie says.
During the trip children were able to stroke the guinea pigs, feed the pigs and find out lots of exciting facts about them. We had a look inside the butterfly house and finished the day with a play at the play park!
Spring 2
'Why do ladybird's have spots?' was our minibeast topic. We have been spotting and looking closely at mini-beasts in the environment, making them out of craft materials and dressing up as minibeasts! We have spent lots of time in the forest and even had our pancakes on pancake day in the forest!
Erin "Look it's a real spider but it's not alive now. You can look really closely at it!"
Alby "It's all runny, I think it's going to go harder on the fire".
Roxy "It's a bee, I cut it out and stuck together".
Lots of us designed and made bug hotels out of junk modelling. We thought about what the bugs would need to survive and what kinds of places they might like to live. We then create our bug hotels and have already had a few visitors!
We had a exciting visit from 'The Bug Man'. He brought in a range of bugs for us to hold and look at. Some of us were very brave!
To celebrate world book day we took a trip to Clacton library and shared a story with the librarian and explored all the great books in the children's section. Afterwards we crossed the road and visited the Town hall and Princes Theatre. Kai let us go onto the stage and showed us how the lights and smoke are used to create effects. We even had a turn speaking into the microphones!
Spring 1
We started 2017 with our topic 'What happen's when we fall asleep?' through which we learnt lots about space and night and day. We all enjoyed the story 'Whatever next' where baby bear imagines that he flies off to space in his rocket. Some of us designed our own rockets out of 3D shapes.
'The Owl who was afraid of the Dark' story gave us the opportunity to think about character feelings and we enjoyed writing speech bubbles in Literacy. Some of us used magnetic letters to segment the sounds we could hear in words from the story. We also wrote our own New Year wishes, thinking about what we would like to improve on this year.
We ended our topic with a 'Fab Finish'by holding a PJ party! We had marshmallows toasted on the fire in the forest, then hot chocolate and stories back in the classroom followed by us all painting day and night plates. A great event to share with our adults!
Autumn 2nd half:
Well it's been a busy, busy half term in Birch class. We started by working on the story of 'The Three Bears', in Maths we were sharing out sweets for the bears and looking at whether it was equal or not. We all had fun working together and mixing colours of paints to create giant bear pictures. In Literacy we used role play to think of what different characters in the story might say.
The next traditional story that we looked at together was the Gingerbread-man. We had lots of fun re-telling it and joining in with the repeated language. In maths we felt the weight of different ingredients and used the balance scales to compare them. We also followed instructions and made our own gingerbread men. We had our own ideas of how our man would look, but luckily we ate him before he ran away!
We have had an exciting build up to Christmas, we learnt about advent and enjoyed making lots of Christmas decorations and Christmas cards. Of course we have also spent lots of time practising for our Christmas nativity! Learning songs and actions, practising our lines and learning all about the Christmas story.
Autumn 1st half:.
What a great start to the year! The children are settling in really well and are making lots of new friends. Our first topic 'Do you want to be friends?' provides the children with lots of opportunities to think about friendship and sharing. The children have been having lots of fun exploring all of the areas of EYFS including lots of time spent in our fabulous outside area. We have also been working together to think of our class rules to keep us all safe and happy.
We have been listening to Elmer stories these first few weeks of term and have been learning about colours and counting. Look at some of the things we have been doing below:

Choosing the right VPN service is definitely not an easy task – especially since there are so many options on the market.
Well, we've decided to help you out and make the decision easier. Here's why Buffered VPN is the smart choice for any online user:
We Offer a Hassle-Free 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
We've noticed that this is one of the things most of our users love about us. To be honest, it's not a huge surprise – most VPN services only offer a 7/14-day money-back guarantee. Unfortunately, that's not enough time to get acquainted with a VPN service. After all, you need time to discover all of its features.
With Buffered VPN, you take zero risks! That's because you get enough time to see if it's truly the right VPN service for you. Also, we don't offer a free trial, because most demo accounts just limit the features you can access. We want you to experience everything Buffered can offer you. We just issue the refund according to our guidelines, and you'll get back your investment. In case you'd like to learn more about our refund policies, check out this article.
We Take Your Privacy Seriously
Of course, many VPN services advertise this. However, some of them only claim to do it – we actually take action! Our 256-bit AES encryption is the primary way we ensure your private info is not at risk. Even after numerous cryptanalysis attempts, it still hasn't been broken yet. Moreover, it's the same encryption standard used by the US military.
However, we go the extra mile. How? By enforcing a no-logging policy. As a result, we don't keep track of any of your private info or online traffic. Thus, even if we were to get hacked or anything like that (highly unlikely), your data will still be safe and sound.
We Provide World-Class Customer Support
For us, customer satisfaction and security come first. We've already discussed the safety aspect, so let's talk about customer care. Well, we provide 24/7 customer services. That's because we don't want to keep our users waiting around for days for an issue that could be fixed in mere minutes. Also, if you have any feedback or suggestions, you can easily get in touch with us. If any of your ideas are doable, we will do our best to implement them in future updates.
Lastly, we'd also like to mention that our customer services are so good they actually earned us the nomination for The Best VPN of 2016.
We Make Sure You Enjoy Fast Online Connections
With Buffered, you gain access to 37 high-speed worldwide servers. You can instantly connect to which one you want, and easily switch servers as you wish.
Not only that, but we also throw in unlimited bandwidth for good measure. This way, you won't have to worry about dealing with slow VPN connections at all. And no, we don't throttle your online connection speed. All of our flexible, budget-friendly subscription plans entitle you to the same benefits.
We Have So Much More in Store for You
These are the main highlights we wanted to showcase. Naturally, you can take advantage of many more benefits:
- Cross-platform compatibility (Windows, Linux, OSX, iOS, Android)
- Install Buffered on both Tomato and DD-WRT-enabled routers
- The chance to easily switch between TCP and UDP
- Access to an information-rich Knowledge Base
- User-friendly design
- A quick setup process
- Comprehensive tutorials
- Enjoy up to 5 simultaneous connections on different computers/devices

PDA releases DYSS Apollo UV Hybrid range in Australia
Local distributor, Product Distribution Australia (PDA) is overseeing the release of the new DYSS Apollo UV hybrid printer series into the Australian and New Zealand market, with the company touting the wide format release as a 'game changer' for the local graphic arts market.
The new DYSS Apollo UV hybrid series, which includes the UV GH 1600, the UV GH 2200 and the UV GH 2600, joins the ranks of PDA's exiting DYSS print and cut solutions, which the company took on board in 2011, and offers a versatile range of print sizes, handling widths from 1600mm to 3200 mm.
Utilising Ricoh's Gen4 head technology, the Apollo Hybrid UV printer has a drop volume range of 5 to 25 pl with grey scale and combinations of CMYK, white and clear.
PDA says the Apollo Hybrid UV printer meets the most demanding applications, including packaging prototypes, labels, high-end press-proofs, sign graphics, point-of-purchase signage, backlit displays, real estate signage and more.
The DYSS series' precision indexed belt drive system is an easy to use printing system that suits shops that need the versatility of printing on roll media or rigid flatbed media with just one printer.
"I see in this machine the potential for the offset printer genuinely looking to this market to broaden their offering and increase their profit," says PDA's Warren Davey. "With a role-to-role and a flatbed option, this goes right down the centre of the spectrum of wide format production. This gives the flexibility to do both, to the greater extent."
To celebrate the Australian release of the DYSS UV Hybrid Printer Series, PDA is offering factory backed discounts and extended warranties at no extra cost for orders placed before June 30 2013. Call Warren Davey on 0467 528 356 to find out more.
According to PDA, DYSS is the only manufacturer in the world offering a truly integrated print and cut solution from a single supplier. These products allow users to enter or expand in the graphics POS, POP and signage print and cut markets at many levels.
The DYSS range covers rigid and flexible media, various ink types, many modes of colour printing and curing, including white, spot colour and selective varnish coating.

Over spring break, my family and I went to Palm Springs with our family friends. After an exhausting two hour drive through the Mohave desert, we finally arrived. On the long trip we saw hundreds of thousands of gigantic windmills spinning alongside our car. It was pretty amazing. As we neared Palm Springs, the temperature rose and rose until it was 91 degrees while back where we live it was only 75 degrees. We also passed by the Indian reservation. The Indians were kicked out of their own land when the settlers arrived and were given this piece of land where nothing could be grown, not many shops, and many rattle snakes and cacti. It is sort of sad that the whites kicked them out of their land.
As we drove in the parking lot, Sarah and I were already jumping up and down. Our hotel was in front of a set of very rocky mountains. We didn't dawdle and quickly changed into our swimsuits because our dad told us they had some amazing waterslides. He was right! As I climbed up the stairs to the slide, I felt the chills run down my spine. I could see the person who slide down before me get thrown forward into the water. But excitement lured me to try the slide. I got on the slide. and in the beginning it wasn't fast, but a few seconds later the speed increased, and I by the end of the slide I was thrust into the immerse pool. Even though I was scared at the beginning, Sarah and I were laughing by the end. Hannah and Michael weren't allowed to go on the slide because they were too short. We slid down the slide for a few hours until it closed relishing the experience. By that time, darkness was coming and the temperature was cooler, so Sarah and I jumped into the Jacuzzi.
After the pool, my sisters and friends walked around the hotel. After walking around the hotel, we were tempted again to jump into the pool before it closed for the night. We all had an exciting first day at the pool. But this week wasn't finished, we were going to hike at Joshua park the next day.
Here is a video of us sliding down.
Have you ever been on a water slide?

Companies that work with large files often have trouble collaborating. File size limits make email unrealistic for all but the smallest files, and FTP can be complicated. Many teams eventually resort to saving files to USB thumb drives, SD cards, or external hard drives, walking them over to co-workers, and copying files over.
While this is a low-cost way to share files, it offers nothing in the way of file sync or versioning, and introduces certain security issues if files are not manually deleted from the device after use.
Before the Internet, physically moving storage devices from one computer to another was the only way to share data. We've come a long way since then, but storage devices do still play a role in many industries. Raw video footage, hi-res photography, and large databases are just a few examples of when a USB stick can be more efficient than transferring files over a network connection.
Network connections always require a trade-off between latency and bandwidth. Latency refers to how long a message takes to get to its destination, while bandwidth refers to how much data can be transferred in a given period of time. Generally, networks strive for lower latency and higher bandwidth.
For example, when you send someone a text message from your cell phone, they get it almost instantaneously. This is an example of the relatively low latency of cellular networks. But, if you try to send a high-resolution picture, it will take at least a few seconds to send. Thus, cellular networks have low bandwidth.
Storage devices as file share solution are on the opposite end of the spectrum. While they have high latency, their relatively high bandwidth makes up for it. For example, writing a note and running it to a co-worker downstairs takes a long time (high latency), but if you grab a removable hard drive on the way, you can transfer a lot of information (high bandwidth).

Sean O'Kane, who has taken leave from his job as a race relations worker in Liverpool to attend the climax of the trial, is convinced of his idol's innocence.
"If he is convicted then it is a crime against humanity," he said. "There is too much reasonable doubt."
The jury has been out for five days as the world awaits to find out if Michael Jackson will be convicted of child abuse charges.
The 46-year-old singer denies all the charges.
Twenty-three-year-old Mr O'Kane told BBC Radio Ulster he had been following events in Santa Barbara for a long time.
He attended the trial for two weeks in April and returned a week ago for its culmination.
"Everybody's quite confident of Michael's acquittal though its got to the stage where people are on the edge of their seats
"It's very difficult to guess when the verdict is coming.
"It is now coming to an end and his fate is in the hands of 12 strangers."
He said many fans were unhappy with much of the media reporting of the trial.
"Fans can pinpoint one or two things that they've got incorrect or which haven't been consistent. People have been questioning why this ever did go to trial in the first place.
He said if the star was convicted fans would continue to campaign for him.

Twenty years worth of health leaders urge government to prioritise mental healthcare
The 'enduring injustice' of inadequate mental healthcare continues to blight families across the country, according to Jeremy Hunt's nine immediate predecessors.
In a joint letter to the Times, Andy Burnham, Kenneth Clarke, Frank Dobson, Stephen Dorrell, Patricia Hewitt, Alan Johnson, Andrew Lansley, Alan Milburn and John Reid lament that despite the Conservative promise of 'parity of esteem' for mental and physical health, the crisis is not being addressed.
They write:
"Despite the warm words, one year on we see the same enduring injustice, the massive economic cost and the distress suffered by countless families across the country. Despite promised increases in funding, mental health trusts are still suffering cuts.
"Suicide remains the biggest killer of men under 45, people in crisis are still routinely shunted across the country in search of a hospital bed, children with eating disorders are too often turned away from services, and there is a growing mental health crisis among young women.
"We are alarmed and dismayed that so many of these points echo those made a year ago when promises of real change were made by David Cameron and George Osborne. We urge their successors to make good the promise of genuine equality."
The signatories are encouraging Chancellor Philip Hammond to make new mental health commitments in next week's Autumn Statement.
Also in the Times, current secretary Jeremy Hunt defended his record, claiming that the government is 'making progress against our goal to address the difficulties faced by those with mental health problems – spending by clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) has increased by £693 million.'
However, figures obained by Labour MP Luciana Berger show that 57 per cent of CCGs will cut their spending on mental health in 2016-17.
Additionally, parliament's Public Accounts Committee has said that given the overall cash squeeze in the NHS, the government's specific mental health targets cannot be reached without compromising other mental and physical health services.
So while Hunt is correct that spending has increased, that means little if demand is still not being met, or if the benefits aren't being felt on the front line.
We know that Hunt won't listen to doctors, psychologists or unions — might he heed the warnings of his own predecessors?

Happy Easter! Hope you all have an eggstatic day! For us Aussie peeps the Easter break includes a long weekend. I like to use this weekend to get some baking done – the upcoming cool weather makes me want to get cosy and bake treats to enjoy with a nice cup of tea. My husband and I are also still busy with the house reno too.
At Easter it is tradition for our family to get together and have a little afternoon tea. I always enjoy watching mum style the table each year placing little surprises and chocolate eggs around it for guests. One year my sister and I got quite a surprise waking up to find a giant toy bunny in a cooking pot on the oven! Dad said we would be eating 'rabbit stew' for the day – clearly he was joking and don't worry we were old enough to know he would never harm a rabbit or the Easter bunny. Given that this day always seemed to come with some interesting surprises in the day I thought it was fitting to include a big surprise in my Easter craft project.
How to make a surprise ball
I LOVE surprise balls! They remind me of those pass-the-parcel days at childhood parties. The original surprise ball was made my Gina Namkung and was filled with amazing vintage toys and trinkets. One of these has been on my wish list for a long time. You might know by now I love a good theme so I have had a go making a surprise ball previously – a Japanese themed one that included souvenirs purchased from my travels to Japan. Surprise balls always reminded me of giant Easter eggs so that's how I came upon the idea to make this Easter themed one.
crepe paper streamers in different colours
circle stickers
chocolate eggs
Fill your surprise ball with trinkets
I go cray-cray for cute trinkets!! You can fill your Easter egg surprise ball with Easter themed fair like chicks, bunny stationery, and chocolate eggs or anything party related. I did a bit of both and included a ice-cream post-it, fruit eraser, washi tape, confetti, Japanese sweets, stickers, clips, pom-pom and a mini play-doh bucket.
How to make a Easter Egg Surprise Ball
Gather your trinkets and crepe streamers it's time to get wrapping!
Making the surprise ball pretty much includes one step repeated over and over again until all trinkets are concealed.
Get your first trinket (starting with wrapping up the largest ones to the smallest).
Start to wrap crepe paper around a trinket – working it into an oval (egg shape) as you progress.
Once you can't see the trinket add another with a touch of confetti.
I like to also change streamer colours as I include new trinkets. If you find it starts unravelling you can glue down or stick washi tape on the end of the crepe streamer to keep it tight and secure.
As you start to include more trinkets and continue wrapping the crepe around you will see the round shape coming together.
Once you have wrapping up all your trinkets and included a little message inside you can start decorating your surprise ball egg.
Embellishing the Easter Egg Surprise Ball
Have fun decorating your surprise ball with stickers and fun pattern shape crepe streamers.
Cut streamers into arches, triangles or in half to make thin stripes.
Circle stickers will also add that extra touch or decoration!
All that is left is to gift a loved one, child or friend your Easter Egg Surprise Ball!
Happy Easter Crafting!!!

While on the surface of it Wednesday's economic news from Reuters, as reported by FOX Business, "U.S. Economy Grows at 4% Pace in 2Q," seems positive, I am not holding my breath given the fact that early reports like this one have been revised downward time and time again. In the FOX piece they quote the Commerce Department as indicating on July 30that, "Gross domestic product expanded at a 4.0% annual rate as activity picked up broadly after shrinking at a revised 2.1% pace in the first quarter."
How convenient it is that these latest numbers seem to offset the dismal contraction number of 2.9% from the first quarter, I'm sure it's just a coincidence -- right?
As has been articulated by others, I suggest that if an economist or economists continue to miss the mark by under-forecasting economic growth and then back-pedal by saying the revised numbers were "unexpected," they should disqualify themselves from being called economists.
"Number-Jesters" would seem to be more appropriate.
In a completely related article in USA Today, written by Paul Davidson also on July 30, "Economy heats up in Q2 after harsh winter," the writer comments on all of the seemingly optimistic information put out by the Commerce Department as reported on by FOX Business, but ends the particularly "spun" article with the following:
"Bad weather has not been the only culprit [regarding sluggish economic growth so far this year]. Wage gains have barely kept pace with inflation, holding back consumer spending. And the pace of housing's recovery has fallen behind last year instead of accelerating as forecast. Many economists expect both wage increases and the housing market to pick up in the second half of the year."
Who wouldn't want to trust the forecasts of these "Numbers Jesters?" At least they acknowledged the falling housing "recovery." And does anyone still believe it was bad weather that drove the bad economic number in the first quarter?
It is also worth noting that within the FOX piece it was stated that "A separate report showing private employers added 218,000 jobs to their payrolls last month, a decline from June's hefty [their description] gain of 281,000, did little to change perceptions the economy was strengthening." What a shock, since, as we have said on numerous occasions, that these numbers are not impressive on the surface, let alone when scrutinized. After all, the vast majority of these jobs are either part-time or lower paying jobs that have little if any positive impact on the economy in general, nor the employees hired in particular.
And I loved reading this within FOX's report: "Solid demand, which underscores the economy's firming fundamentals, led to some pick-up in price pressures in the second quarter, a welcome development for Fed officials who have long worried about inflation being too low."
I have a message for the Fed: HELLO! Millions of middle-class Americans DO NOT believe that inflation is too low! Have you been to the super market lately, people? But wait, there's more, as stated in this same report, "A core price measure strips out food and energy costs at a 2% pace…" Well, add in food and energy and then tell us inflation is "too low."
Relative to the housing "recovery" and foreclosure activity I offer the following observation: Amy G. Dix, broker and co-owner of The House Store, a successful Knoxville, Tennessee-based real estate company reports to me that REO assignments are on the rise.
"We have received one or two assignments each day over the past couple of weeks," said Dix. "Some are coming from asset management companies that we hadn't received assignments from in quite a while."
While in West Palm Beach for an industry seminar recently I had the opportunity to visit with over 30 members of the National REO Brokers Association, who were among over 400 real estate professionals at the session. Most of the NRBA members also reported increased listing activity on REOs. This is, perhaps, only anecdotal evidence of a worsening housing market and general economy, but it is clear to me that the downturn that I and other industry observers are predicting may be closer than anyone thought.

Are you wondering about the best stethoscope for hard of hearing medical professionals?
The truth is it can be extremely difficult for doctors, nurses, and medics who are hard of hearing to find a stethoscope that meets their needs. Hearing loss may increase over time; it can run the spectrum from minor to serious; and hearing aids may or may not be required. There are also many different types of hearing aids available for those who use them. All of these factors will impact how you hear the sounds of auscultation.
Littmann Cardiology III
Littmann Master Cardiology
What all this means is that finding the best stethoscope for hard of hearing professionals is very complicated. The perfect stethoscope for one user may not be a viable option for another. For this reason, we're basing our recommendations mostly on the advice of publications and forums devoted to the professional development of hard of hearing health care workers.
Amplified stethoscopes: best bets for professionals not using hearing aids
If your hearing loss is mild and you don't use a hearing aid, a high-quality amplified stethoscope is your best bet. Additionally, if you use a hearing aid but don't mind removing it to use a stethoscope, you may also want to consider an amplified stethoscope.
The stethoscopes listed below are designed for use without a hearing aid. It is possible to get specialty earpieces which allow use with a hearing aid, but most users describe these as extremely painful and nearly impossible to use. It's also possible to have your audiologist adapt your hearing aid for stethoscope use. This often results in heavy feedback, though, and usually turns out to be an incomplete solution.
Based on significant research, we can offer the following choices for medical professionals who can use a stethoscope without a hearing aid:
- Littmann Cardiology III
- Littmann Master Cardiology
- Littmann 3100
- Welch-Allyn Master Elite Electronic
Both the Welch-Allyn Master Elite and the Littmann Electronic 3200 get special notice for their cutting edge technology. Either one can be used to record and analyze sound with the help of a computer and special software.
The Cardiology III from 3M Littmann takes the #1 spot due to its sound quality and comfort on the ear canal. Whether taking a blood pressure reading or listening to a baby heartbeat the sounds comes through clearly and reliably. At the upper end of the price range, the Cardiology III is generally going to be purchased by medical doctors.
For nurses, EMTs, and other medics a more cost-effective option is the Welch-Allyn Master Elite.
Both of these models feature a tunable diaphragm to maximize sound quality.
Specialty scopes: the best stethoscope for hard of hearing professionals using hearing aids and cochlear implants
The selection of stethoscopes that can be used with a hearing aid is more limited ‒ and if this is your only option, be prepared to make a sizable investment. These stethoscopes are designed to use with accessories that adapt them to work with your hearing aid, generally via Direct Audio Input and/or headphones because they are electronic stethoscopes. They include the following:
- Cardionics E-Scope II
- E-Steth
- Littmann 3100
- Audiologist's Choice Amplified Stethoscope
- Eko Digital Stethoscope
The newest addition to this list is the Audiologists's Choice Stethoscope, which entered the marketplace in 2012. It deserves special mention because it is the first ever Bluetooth-enabled stethoscope. If you're currently using this stethoscope, we would love to hear from you! Eko has also entered the bluetooth market with its Eko Digital Stethoscope, however user reports indicate it can be difficult to tune the diaphragm to focus on auscultation rather than picking up all background noise in the room.
Which is best for you will depend on what kind of hearing instrument you are using. With hearing aids or cochlear implants, you need to make sure that the stethoscope you purchase will fit comfortable in your ear canal. A device that is painful to use will not be used for very long.
Look for options to use over-the-ear headphones for maximum comfort and ease of use.
The Cardionics E-Scope receives the best and most frequent reviews of these three stethoscopes, and it's our choice as the best stethoscope for hard of hearing medical professionals.
Super-Specialty Scopes: the best stethoscope for deaf medical professionals
For those medical professionals who are completely deaf, it is going to be near impossible to find a stethoscope that will work. Essentially you are limited to digital oscilloscopes, which fortunately are becoming more widely available as technology improves.
One option includes the Eko Digital Stethoscope which has a bluetooth connection to a smartphone app.
Finding a stethoscope to match your level of hearing loss and your clinical needs can be challenging and frustrating. We've discovered a few excellent resources to help you as you make this complex decision. Here are a few links that may be of interest to you:
"How to Cope With Scopes" (2004) – an in-depth look at stethoscopes and hearing loss
Beyond Hearing Aids – an online supplier of products for the hard of hearing

And I know this: I'm becoming self-contradictory.
As I feel around the corners of my mind, toying with concepts and revisiting them, wondering aloud, trying to outguess the designs of the strategists employed by the scum that have got us into this deepening whirlpool of misery I find myself arguing with opinions I'd formed previously.
I hope it's a healthy process. Question everything, even ideas and concepts that you have espoused to others and form part of the thing that is you.
Driving the impulse to think and rethink is the dread certainty that things are about to get a whole lot worse and the knowledge that the great mass of people are still sleep-walking through existence, that they are deliberately engineered that way, that unless they can be awoken there is no hope of critical mass, no hope of ending the spiral of decay.
Understanding that the scum were aware of the coming of the global political awakening that is happening in this new space called the internet and laid their nets and snares and honey traps here, positioned their placemen and fifth columnists and false leaders well in advance, lead their own opposition, drives my thinking now and colours the process of logic.
Well of course they would, and of course they do and of course it does.
Look back and see what the internet has become over the last ten years. Cast your mind 30 years forward, see the speed and universal availability, see the device connected to our minds, see the interface of biologically derived processors and our nerve systems, see the implanted screens, see that humanity will be able to connect with each other and with truth instantaneously, see wisdom coming to the ignorant, all language one language, all knowledge available for all people, see the threat that is to them.
This thing will create a hive mind.
They have to make it a hive mind that they control, a hive mind they fill with useless garbage and lies, a hive mind that they pervert to their ends or it will bring their end.
When I understood that the agents of the elite were promoting the idea of a coming awakening that was not to do with the guessable future but with some form of cosmic intervention logic told me that in fact it was a feint, a new age pseudo religious hoax designed to cause us to wait for this divine or out-worldly intervention rather than do something, anything, ourselves, now.
And so I decided that it won't be along any time soon.
Then I started to think.
Firstly, do not for a moment believe that the scum that control us have as little idea of the future as you or I do. Their vision is quite clear. Something they know is coming is scaring them badly. It may be the projected advances in the relationship between humanity and these miraculous machines and their understanding that the speed of change is exponential, knowledge of which they have gained by perverting the most intelligent amongst the herd with a few silver pieces and picking their brains. It may be their great store of hidden knowledge, stolen from the libraries they have pillaged throughout history, exterminated where that knowledge existed in the minds of human beings......
Which brings me to the tangent...
Throughout history the elite scum bloodlines have made it their business particularly to wipe off the face of the earth the shamanic practitioners that, oddly, were pretty much the same the world over thousands of years before there was any means for that sort of consensus to be arrived at.
That global coverage in those times is strange in and of itself.
It speaks volumes.
From Korea to Tibet, in Africa and in South and North America, in Europe, amongst aboriginal peoples everywhere there has been a global tradition of shamanism and everywhere for millennia these people have been exterminated at every opportunity by kings or governments or the superstitions that call themselves religions in the service of their dark overlords. Even the early christians that retained their shamanic traditions and practices (the Gnostics) were wiped out by their "fellow" brothers in christ.
Now why do you think that the global scum bastards have always been so interested in the shamanic traditions and practices and lore?
They shared one practice, these shamans.
In every place they discovered something in nature that could transport them to another place, interpreted differently as the spirit world, the land of their ancestors, the future, the place where God is, a connection with God in the sense of being a part of God.
Different interpretations, same place.
The stuff they used varied.
St John the divine, he of Revelations fame, used the Fly Agaric mushroom (Amanita Muscara) found aplenty on Patmos.
Hey, maybe he got the idea from jesus himsellf? That alone might explain some stuff.
Others used other magic mushrooms, the Psilocybin.
Some chose the Salvia Divinorum.
Those that could get it locally (in those days locally was where everything had to come from) used the best of the lot, Ayahuasca.
The essential ingredient of Ayahuasca is known as DMT.
Soon you'll be able to find out more about DMT at http://www.thespiritmolecule.com/ but until that's ready in October search for the effects of DMT on google.
There are some unusual things about DMT that are fairly strange in that it is a most pervasive molecule, found everywhere in nature, and also a most decidedly unusual molecule.
It is almost as if the bio-engineers that made our world made sure we'd find it, and that when we had the knowledge to decipher it and investigate it properly it would be the clearest signal to humanity that we are not alone, that we are part of something bigger, that this is not all there is but is just a weird and tiny construct. A joke gone bad. A typo.
Look into DMT and all these other spirit plants, I urge you.
This is not some tripper advising you to get off your head.
There is something other in these plants that may provide some sort of answer, some missing piece to the jigsaw of understanding, something that the scum have been hiding from us.
Who knows, maybe we'll find the MOTIVE behind the shit that they do, because it sure as hell isn't money or power because they have all of that and always have. The motive is something else, and it's time we discovered just what that is.
The drifting thought process on this tangent takes one to the Pineal gland, the interaction of these wisdom plants with this organ, the recently discovered crystalline coatings on the Pineal gland that scientists liken to transmitters/receivers and the sense you can make of what people say DMT takes them to, what this then means we are, what then fluoride in water and toothpaste is really all about
( http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/pineal/ ) and then what chemtrails are all about......
I think this is going somewhere, but it's 3.30 am, I've been drinking Raki and I've got to figure out how I can pay the rent!
Lots of love to you all, fellow component entities of the great matrix that is and will be.
Speak soon, fear nothing.
Olive Farmer xxx xxx xxx
- The enslavement of the consciousness of humanity
- The production of fear, enmity, jealousy, greed, hatred etc.
- The production of a global misery.
- The abandonment or misdirection of hope.
These things are what they feed upon, what they wake up in the mornings (if they sleep) determined to do more of. As a human being these objectives seem alien.
We can understand unlimited wealth and power and filthy but unpunished behaviour. That ordinary stuff is what our dreams have been caused to be made of. Win the lottery, buy loads of worthless stuff, shag what we like.
We can understand the psycopathic and sociopathic amongst our kind that get off on a smidgeon of the sort of stuff the scum deal in, know they are sick, recognise how they became so, are growing in our understanding of how they can be made whole again, can forgive them if we have the breadth of heart.
But the scum are in an altogether different league, are playing an altogether different ball game. They are after the very soul of humanity.
More than that, they are accelerating their efforts to keep that soul behind the constructs of the matrix of lies that form the alternative, prison reality because they understand that now more effort is required, that now they have to be on top form, that the danger to them is high.
Another tangent:
However made, the crop circles I often feature here, carrying as they do understandings of mathematics, of biological mathematical formulae, of fibonacci numbers, of chakra and consciousness, the mathematical fingerprint of god, the power of nine (visit www.rodinaerodynamics,com and liken the products of the math with the patterns found in some circles) seem to me to be the happy gifting, the fun gifting of a certainty of a future that is different, a future that is love. They speak to me of surity, of good, and to a great degree that the future will be measured not against what we now understand of life and of consciousness but will be something utterly different.
The main stream media did a lovely job years ago of seeding into the minds of the sheeple that crop circles are just boring circles, made by young and pissed farmers. They knew the amazing stuff was coming, sowed disinterest early on. How did they know? I wonder. Visit www.lucypringle.co.uk if you don't already. Why are they not plastered over the press, these wonders of the world (or otherwise)? No prizes for guessing.
When you consider the experiences of Shaman, the other place that DMT can join your consciousness with, the brave new world that has such creatures in it, the mathematical construct that is the universe and the capabilities that the interconnection with that great whole can bring......
Consider that in the light of what we can reasonably see as possible scientifically in respect of the capabilities of connectivity brought about by developments in computer technology and then take a great leap....what could we make in a hundred years, what in a thousand, what in a thousand thousand?
And therefore what has already been made, what already exists, what is the true power of numbers somewhere either in or outside of the restrictive set of dimensions we currently exist in?
Consider how such knowledge will impact upon the scum....
Consider therefore what is the very nature of them, of what kind are they to know of and recognise and prepare for the threat that approaches and indeed what is the nature of that threat?
Then consider the weapons they are utilising in light of this information and conjecture.
The Pineal gland, that organ which gifts us dopamine and responds to the sacred herbs in the way that it does is the collection point for the lovely fluoride they feed us on. Is Fluoride about masking the receptors rather than keeping us dumb and acquiescent?
Are chemtrails the planetary scale masks, the diffusers of some approaching stimulus? Star Trek shields that are there to ward off the approaching trigger?
Ultimately, from all of this, we realise the game is not as we percieve it. The superbowl or world cup final in the greatest game is upon us and we, humanity, remain largely ignorant that we are both the pieces and the prize in this ineffable game.
And of course, it's no bloody fun at all.
Except for the spectators, wherever and whatever they are.
One can only hope that after it's all over, we can see the funny side of it all.
There is good out there my friends. Let's hope it gets a move on.
Love to you,
Thanks for some of the insights found via http;//r4e-exploringrealitytunnels.blogspot.com

Buy LED tube lights to enhance your home and life!
If you are searching for LED Tube Lights or any LED light, you have come to the right place. Here we have LED Tube Lights, LED Recessed Lighting, LED Track Lighting, LED Light Fixtures, LED Strip Lights, and LED Light Bulbs. Take a look at our products by clicking on one of the categories below. You'll find that we have a very wide selection at great prices.
Replacement LED Light Bulbs
Lights are key to our survival in this day in age. Not only do they provide a source for us to be able to see in dark places, but without lights we wouldn't be able to do most things we do all day that we take advantage of. For example, can you imagine your life without your computer, cell phone, head lights, or bathroom light? We can't imagine what it would be like to live like that. Lights are truly essential to our way of life. Some of the lights that we take advantage of most often, and forget about how essential they are, are the lights in our homes and places of work. A common thing for us to have in our homes/offices is halogen bulbs. We're entering into a new age and there is a better light available now. We recommend you replace your halogen bulbs for LED light bulbs as soon as you can!
Replacement LED light bulbs are in need so you can replace your existing halogen bulbs that will go out soon. LED lights will last for a long time. You won't need any replacement LED light bulbs for LED lights because they last for 50,000+ hours. Once you have them you will feel more confident and won't have to worry about having replacements because you won't need them.
Another good reason why you should switch to LED if you haven't already is that these lights will save you money because your electric bill won't be as high. That is a monthly saving! It's not a one time thing. You can continue to use your lights as you normally would and pay less. LED lights were built to last a long time (a way to save you money) and they were designed to be more energy efficient so that you can save on your monthly bill.
All LED lights are designed to be energy savors. Energy saving lamps are needed in our lives because so many people use lights now. Light is one of the essentials of life and therefore, as a whole, we use a lot of energy with our lights. Some families turn off lights as they leave a room and try to conserve energy the best they can while other families have their lights on continually and never turn them off. LED lights can be great assets to both types of families. Those families that conserve energy will save even more money than they normally would and will use even less energy than normal. The families that have a harder time turning off their lights will still be using less energy than they would have with halogen bulbs or other types of bulbs. They also will be saving money even though they aren't diminishing the amount of time their lights are on.
All in all, replacement of LED light bulbs in your home is a great idea and should be done sooner rather than later.

Dromore Amateurs recent revival came to an end on Saturday as Division 1C leaders Dunmurry YM ran out 5-1 winners.
The locals had held their high-flying opponents to a 2-2 draw two weeks previous and followed it up with all three points against fellow strugglers Iveagh.
However, they couldn't repeat the heroics on Saturday as they were swept aside by the a Dunmurry team tied on points with Downshire YM at the league summit. Dromore even saw Walker sent off to compound a disappointing day.
Going into the game, confidence was high in the Dromore camp and that showed as they took an early lead.
Just two minutes in, a Dunmurry clearance landed at the boot of Matty Rowan. He drove the ball low and hard into the bottom corner from 25 yards out to put the home team in front.
Instead of pushing on after a great start though, Dromore were soon pegged back. It was Dunmurry who went on the attack and it wasn't long before they equalised. The goal came after their right winger ran 40 yards without a Dromore tackle being put in and he took full advantage, calmly finishing past Coady in the Dromore goal.
It was all Dunmurrry and on 20 minutes they took the lead when the left winger crossed for the big centre forward to head into the Dromore goal.
It was end to end stuff and Dromore hadn't given up. They should even have equalised when a superb Fletcher cross found the head of Rowan only to see the Dunmurry keeper make a point blank save to tip over the bar.
That left the scores at 2-1 at half-time. Manager Brownlee knew it was important that Dromore came out in the second half with the same tempo that they had finished the first.
He made that clear but his orders fell on deaf ears as it was Dunmurry who started brightly. Only for Coady in the Dromore goal, they could have been 3-1 down early in the half.
Downey up front for Dromore was, however, causing the Dunmurry defence problems anytime the ball went forward and from his knock-down, Haslem nearly got the equaliser but his shot went past the post.
That was to be the turning point as Dromore went down to 10 men when Walker was sent off for his second yellow.
Dunmurry scored two quick goals to increase their lead to 4-1 and kill of the game as a contest.
They even got a fifth late on to finish the scoring off at 5-1.
Overall, manager Brownlee was disappointed with the way the team conceded some of the goals with individual errors and is hoping for an immediate response in training this week.
At the time of going to press, the Amateurs had no fixture scheduled for Saturday.
DROMORE: R.Coady, W.McMurray, R.Walker, A.McDonald, T.Martin, P.Tinsley, J.Beattie, G.Flethcher, S.Haslem, M.Rowan, S.Downey. Subs: G.Rowan, C.Gilliland, D.Maguire.

Some facts about Black color
In the social hierarchy of ancient Rome, purple was the color reserved for the Emperor; red was the color worn by soldiers (red cloaks for the officers, red tunics for the soldiers); white the color worn by the priests, and black was worn by craftsmen and artisans. The black they wore was not deep and rich; the vegetable dyes used to make black were not solid or lasting, so the blacks often turned out faded gray or brown.[citation needed]
In Latin, the word for black, ater and to darken, atere, were associated with cruelty, brutality and evil. They were the root of the English words "atrocious" and "atrocity".
Black was also the Roman color of death and mourning. In the 2nd century BC Roman magistrates began to wear a dark toga, called a toga pulla, to funeral ceremonies. Later, under the Empire, the family of the deceased also wore dark colors for a long period; then, after a banquet to mark the end of mourning, exchanged the black for a white toga. In Roman poetry, death was called the hora nigra, the black hour

Big Brother Naija housemates, Alex, Tobi, Nina, Miracle and Cee-c have automatically qualified for the final stage of the 2018 edition of the reality show.

Recall that the Head of House, Alex picked a chance card which placed everyone up for possible eviction, except her.
Tobi was saved as well as Nina after she came fourth in the game which made her qualify for the finals.
By this time next week, one of the five housemates will emerge winner as the show would be coming to an end.

I didn't watch the Super Bowl. I did hear many people complaining about the halftime show. Many were upset Beyoncé had paid tribute to the Black Panthers.
I thought—seriously? That's what people are upset about?
Had they all been living under a rock?
Beyoncé is a black American woman. She wouldn't be the first black American to find something admirable about the group. Not even close. Our popular culture—from Muhammad Ali to Tupac Shakur—is shot through with 1960's era black nationalism.
It's part of our history, particularly black history.
The most conservative Justice remaining on the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas, was attracted to black nationalism in his youth and long after. When Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot in 1968, Thomas said he donned "The goatee, the black leather jacket" and showed "solidarity with Malcolm X." Four years before President Ronald Reagan appointed Thomas to the Supreme Court, Juan Williams (now of Fox News fame) still described the judge in 1987 as a "black nationalist" and Reason magazine noted in 1987, "He is not your typical Reagan appointee: he flirted with the Black Panthers; he still respects Malcolm X."
Then I finally watched Beyoncé's performance.
"That's it?" I thought.
There were female dancers vaguely resembling military-fatigued, beret wearing black nationalists. Some performers additionally made statements on social media later. It was so tame. Rap legends Public Enemy went much further 30 years ago.
Hell, Clarence Thomas went way further than Beyoncé.
It bothered me that Beyoncé's performance seemed to bother so many people, particularly white people.
That bothersome feeling came roaring back Monday night and Tuesday morning after another similar controversy arose, this time over rap artist Kendrick Lamar's performance at The Grammys.
I had watched that performance. It began with black men walking out in shackles as if they were in prison. I took it as a black artist, from Compton no less, making a statement about black men being in prison. Somehow that's controversial.
Why would he do such a thing!?!
Probably because the number of "African American men incarcerated in the U.S. (is more) than the total prison populations in India, Argentina, Canada, Lebanon, Japan, Germany, Finland, Israel and England combined," as The Huffington Post reported last year.
That's problematic. Black lives do matter.
What's wrong with saying so? What's wrong with a black man saying so?
White men have sang about prison. White artists have sung about class disparities.
Musical protest or raising awareness is nothing new.
When I expressed my dismay at white critics who were outraged at these performances on Facebook, I was taken aback by the anger directed at…
Me. People were really pissed.
The level of vitriol over what I essentially considered to be non-issues really surprised me.
Many told me the Black Panthers were awful people who did awful things, including murder and arguably worse.
This is true.
Much of what the Black Panthers did and represented was bad. Much of it was also good. It's a complex history, like most U.S. history particularly when it comes to anything involving race.
As a white Southerner, this is something I know well.
I made similar points in June during the Confederate flag controversy in the wake of the Dylann Roof murders in my hometown of Charleston, South Carolina. In an op-ed for The Daily Beast, I called for the removal of the Confederate flag from SC Statehouse grounds, as a former flag supporter.
But I also asked the rest of the country to be more understanding of Southerners who still revered the Confederate flag. I wrote, "Some of the people you've seen join hands with their Charleston brethren in recent days likely have supported the Confederate flag. Support for this symbol is hard for most outside the South to even understand."
"I would ask readers to at least try to understand these folks. Many are not coming from a place of hate," I said.
Indeed they aren't. There are many Southern heritage groups who see nothing but honor, nobility and a heroic struggle of their Southern ancestors in that symbol.
Many others—particularly black Americans—see slavery, lynchings and Jim Crow.
Critics of the Confederate flag are not wrong. Supporters aren't necessarily either.
Such is our complex history, particularly when it comes to race.
Even though today I believe the Confederate flag has become so tainted that it's almost impossible to have many positive connotations, I understand and even sympathize with Southerners who hold a different view.
I understand where they're coming from.
I don't expect non-Southerners to understand it. But I would ask them to be civil and respectful to their fellow Americans who hold different views.
That's what I would also ask of white Americans upset by Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar. These are African American artists who share the same history we all do, but also their own distinct history as black Americans—including their own heroes, tragedies and complex experience that won't always mirror everyone else's.
There's nothing wrong with that.
There is something wrong with white people getting upset about it.

Hey!! Just wanted to check in with you…I've been busy workin' it!! Both here at my lovely computer and in the gym~! I never ended up taking yoga…still wanna, but just can't seem to find the time.
Things should settle down a bit after next week for work…but not in life as the kids will be off that week for spring break. Then I WILL be sure to hit the gym during the hours when classes are offered! I'm looking forward to Spring break; I plan to take that week off myself~ I think we'll plan on spending lots of time outside, at the zoo, hit the movies (the kids want to see Alice in Wonderland) and we'll most definantly go bowling 🙂
Okay! The plan for today is this:
Finish 2 training programs- have a coaching call- workout and CLEAN! My house is a mess! And we'll probably watch some TV…thursdays are always good TV nights- "The Mentalist" rocks~!!
Bye for now!!

Welcome back Delaware Bluehens
Georgetown: "We play where we do not compete, and compete where we do not play."
As far as Frisco, selfishly I wouldn't mind a change of venue since I've done Frisco 4 out of 5 years. Outside of that I don't see much wrong with it though. It's a small enough community and stadium it felt like we packed that town and stadium, but it's a huge metro area that doesn't really even know the game exists yet provides easy travel in and out and really enough rooms available that that would never be an issue.
Also, I think a lot of the complaints about the area are more of a cause of the NDSU effect. Our fans book up pretty much all the closest hotels which spreads out the opponents fans. Even this year I've heard reports of lots of empty rooms in Frisco, which I'm sure a lot of NDSU fans cancelled their rooms after many JMU/YSU folks already found other rooms farther out. IMO, a competent AD even if NDSU also made it down there could find an area somewhat close to hold some fan events and encourage their fans to stay in that area. Also for the YSU guys, don't give away 3K of YOUR tickets.
The last year I was down there the ISUr year. We didn't even go to the NDSU pep rally because I didn't want to deal with the sea of yellow. We went down to the Plano Legacy area and it was so busy we decided to get further out so we wouldn't have to deal with the lines and crowd. We decided to go to the ISUr fan event, which was the only thing I could find for them which was just a few forum posters agreeing to meet up at a certain bar. It was like 8 dudes in red in a full bar a people that had no idea there was a game going on the next day. They had at least 4K fans down there for the game. Redbird fans were oddly stand offish though. We ended up at another bar a ways away from Frisco but close to the hotel that we booked last minute. Another fairly full bar with little to no FCS fans, outside of 6 Redbird fans. Two of them came over and we talked about the game for quite a while. The other four in their group wouldn't dare look at us. I bought them a round of shots and they stared at them for a half hour I think questioning whether I had poisoned them. Tailgating was similar. They spread themselves out and didn't seem interested in mingling much even with their other fans.
I'm not really a fan of Orlando as the only 4 FCS schools in the state are either in the MEAC or Pioneer. So there is really no chance any of them will be in the championship and their fans don't really show much interest in FCS playoff football anyways.
Not that many local people attend in Frisco anyway... besides some bars and hotels having some welcome signs... which can be done any where.Orlando has easily double the population of locals as well as hundreds of thousands of tourist every day from all over the country and world..throw up a few signs you will feel just as welcome...I think rotating it keeps it fresh too...if a team makes it few years in a row or 2 of 4 people want a different expierance... least I do
What is the stadium in LA or Carson the Chargers are planning to use?
Jacksonville State University
The only school to win the Triple Crown of National Championships--Football, Basketball, and Baseball
I don't think you should be concerned about FCS schools in the state it's hosted in, especially if they've never been to or likely ever will be in the NC game. You should worry about who's made it the past 20 years (that's still an FCS school) and what approximate region of the country they are in. That's the southeast and mid-atlantic outside of NDSU and Montana.
Heck, it's in TX now and SHSU has been twice since it's been in Frisco and SFA was there back in the 80s. I think that's it for TX schools.
All time appearances by state (excluding now FBS schools):
Montana - 8
Ohio - 7
North Dakota - 5
Delaware - 4
Kentucky - 4
South Carolina - 3
Texas - 3
Virginia - 3
Illinois - 2
Louisiana - 2
Pennsylvania - 2
Florida - 1
Idaho - 1
North Carolina - 1
New York - 1
Iowa - 1
Washington - 1
Maryland - 1
Alabama - 1
FCS champ participating schools by time zone region of country.
Yep. It needs to be more eastern and central if you want to maximize attendance. Sorry west coasters.

*Update from JAKEY*
A message from Jacob written on www.hedleyband.com
Posted: Mon Aug 09, 2004 6:45 am Post subject: UPDATE FROM JAKEY!!!!! (August 9th)
(warning: this message has totally NOT been spell checked. why? cuz i don't give a crapp. totlally.)
jakey... my mom calls me that. man. i miss my mom. ANYWAY. hello! my name is jacob. i'm from abbotsford B.C., i'm 20.
jeez how many mroe times will i have to say that. anyway. i just wanted to jump on here to let ya'll know a few things. fer
starters... I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! for all your support, all your votes, all your warm apple pies (i haven't
actually gotten a pie yet, bout would love if those started comming in the mail!) But seriously. it means so muhc when u guys
sit there and vote for me. its an honor for you guys to be my fans. honestly. i'm so thankful for all of you and i totally
would not be here without you guys. and PLEASE! DON'T STOP VOTING! the more the better! keep it up guys and girls you're doing
amazing! last year acouple of the best competitors got kicked off cuz theyre fan base thought they were safe. you guys are
all amazing. ANOTHER THING! don't think i don't read each and every one of your Private messages and fan mails. i love reading
them. however, i don't always have the time to reply, but that doesnt mean i will stop reading all the awsome fan mail u guys
send. it means so muhc to me to hear what u think or to read the questions u have for me. It all comes down to the fact that
i am loving my fans hard core. The other thing, i wanted to clear a few things up. ON the post about who created the site,
ryan (remind me to punch you in the back) said that kevin made the site. this statement is somewhat fraudulent. kevin physically
made the site. but most of the ideas came from me. kevin is of course the html genius. but him and i colaborated our ideas
together. speaking of website, here's a list of a few things to possible come in the future to hedleyband.com....
1. We're thinking of establishing an online CD sales. it owuld be simple, like mail us 5 bucks or somehting like that.
but we want to know how interested you are in that and how many poieple would be interested in buying a hedley cd (compilation)
if so we owuld probably take the songs off the download seciton and only let u download small chunks of the songs, as to allow
for more sales, i mean, as much as we love spreading hte music, we do need to start raising funds so we can tour and also
put out a brand new cd with loads of good tasting music. but yeh, check the hedley forum for a poll on cd interests.
2. Fan section. a place on the site where u guys can submit your pictures of stuf like wallo papaer, or other things like
that, even some of you with your dope little poems, a polace in the site where u can go and check out what other fans are
up to.
3. The Hedley Intl. Section. hahah (international... hahaha) anyway, this is the part where we get you involved in spreading
the good wor of hedley. u can sign up to get packages in the mail For distributing hedley propaganda (including hedley website
posters) and fliers and sample cd's and stuf like that.) just a bucnh of jazz to spread the hedley vibe across canada, and
eventually we'll take over the world and make all the senior citizens build us a rail road to the galapagos, of which will
reside our world president, drew carrey.... i got carried away. you get the idea. its a hedley 'spread the word' section,
to also help get you guys involved.
4. my urine sample section of the site will be an extencive journal of my urine expeditions. including color of the day,
and opacity of the week. (the rest of the guys in the band htink this is a bad idea. we'll see...)
Anyway.s thats about it guys. alot of people have been asking quesitons about touring and about a new cd and stuf. and
well the answer is, i honestly don't knwo at this moment. alot of you heard some of the comments of jake gold abotu future
management. and honestly its all up in the air. the contract i signed states that i can do no publicity for me or my associatoin
for 3 months AFTER the winner is declaird. it makes sense tho, cuz the winner does deserve first rights to advertising and
merchandising adn cd sales and all that jazz. it owuldnt make sense if my cd came out before the winner. they show wants the
winner to get the most attention, and well the winner kidna deserves it, since he's kidna.. the winner. anyway. and if i do
sign up to managment, we won't be creating a cd right away. guys, its all so up in the air, the only thing we can really do
right now is appreciate the growing fame, and if everyone keeps passing on the hedley tunes, the entirety of canada will one
day taste the beauty of hedley. just keep spreading the music guys you do a great job. and a tour, well tours, usually follow
a cd release. (we'll have a real big party for that occasion) don't worry tho. hedley will still be playing alot of shows
in abbotsford when we get home, local shows, the way it used to be. anyway. whatever happens happens. i entered this competition
with nothing to lose. and thats how i'll go out. but you guys are the greatest support base and i'm so greatful for you all.
so don't fear. hedley will not die. it will only grow. either grow to be super famous or randomly combust. we'll see. i'll
put my money, as of now, on combusting. anyway. i'll think i'll end that off ehre, so check out the couple of new polls i
put up in the hedley section. and speaking of polls! i cast my vote in the 'favourite song section' i might as well jsut tell
you on here right now. my favourite hedley song is brave new southern tickle. haha kidding. its brave new world. its emotional
for me, and it's musically thrilling for me. i just like the way it tastes. it goes good with soup. and please don't stop
the fan mail guys. i love the PM's and all the messages, and i am super busy so its hard for me to reply to all of them, but
i love your comments and questions. i jsut want to also let u guys know what a great job 'antonysc' is doing at moderating
the forum. and thanks for all you who keep this thing alive. you guys mean the world to me and the band. well i think i've
covered everyhting i needed to cover. oh yeh!!! ... i like soup. stay in school.. or something.
my fingers smell like cats and rope.
A place for all Jacob Hoggard Fans
