A speech by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejhad where he is blasting away at the inherently racist nature of Zionism and the bloodbath that it has perpetrated against the innocent people of Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon and Afghanistan may not appear newsworthy, for the simple reason that he has done many similar speeches in recent years…
However, having him make such a speech for a handful of people associated with American Free Press newspaper for the No More Wars For Israel conference held in southern California in October is newsworthy, to say the least.
Certainly most people would respond with 'No Way' when presented with such a piece of news, asking rhetorically why someone as important as Ahmadinejhad--who literally is headline news across the world on a daily basis would be willing to take time out of his schedule to sit down and record such a speech for a relatively small group of people gathering in Southern California. The fact of the matter nevertheless though is that indeed this did take place and the proof of this fact can now be found on the internet as the President's speech is (as of the time of this writing) now being viewed by thousands of people around the world.
Recognizing that the nation of Iran was (and is) clearly in the sights of the warmongering Neocons intent upon destroying the entire Islamic world, the organizers of the No More Wars For Israel conference thought that giving the Iranian president the opportunity of exercising his God-given right of freedom of speech (without having his remarks being deliberately taken out of context as has taken place thousands of times by the Zionist media in America and throughout the West) might be in order, given current events. Thus, he was contacted a few months before the scheduled date of the conference through a 3rd party in Iranian media who works with the President on a regular basis.
The request had originally been for Ahmadinejhad to appear in person at the conference. The word coming back however was that although he was honored at such a request that unfortunately he was too busy to make such a trip. What he offered to do instead was to videotape the speech he would have given had he appeared in person, the transcript of which follows below--
"In the name of Allah, the merciful, the compassionate…Lord, we pray for the return of the Savior, Messiah and Mahdi…
I extend my greetings to all of you gathered to establish peace and prevent invasion and war, the thinkers and sympathizers who have had enough of the world's present conditions and who are willing to expend every effort to bring about a better world with the help of your thoughts, voices and spirits.
As you know, the Almighty did not create man to live in war, hostility and vengeance…He did not make man to spend his time in hardship, exile, deprivation, enmity and antagonism such as is prevalent in our era…God created man to live in this world in a friendly, intimate atmosphere, an atmosphere of love based on monotheism and justice. He created man to establish by means of his own will and by guidance of the Almighty a prosperous, creative and ideal society.
However, down through history, despite the missions and guidance of the prophets and despite the endeavors of reformers and sympathizers there have been the evil doers. These egocentric, avaricious and hostile currents have stood against righteous men and against the message of friendship and love in order to distort man's understanding of the facts and tempt him to indulge in selfishness and evil desires. They want humanity to deviate from the right path. They want to smother man's finer instincts and prevent the realization of good will.
We have seen numerous clues throughout history that point to the presence, domination and performance of these groups in human society. Today, human society still suffers from such individuals and governments, those who cannot be satisfied with their own portions alone, but who can only visualize prosperity through the deprivation and destitution of others. They see their own advancement through the backwardness and impoverishment of others. In order to progress, they strive to rule other nations and by sowing seeds of discord among them, consolidate their own domination.
The best example of such is the racist, Zionist regime. The Zionist regime is by origin a fabrication. It is a racist regime for the sole benefit of a certain number of people who totally lack origins or roots in the land of Palestine. They are devoid of any legal, national or identity bonds with the Palestinian land. The regime has defined for itself special unique rights which cannot be adjusted. They are attempting to maintain their illegitimate interest and those of their supporters via massacre and violation of the rights of the Palestinian people on a daily basis.
Through sedition and deceit they have attempted to brainwash the people of the United States and Europe. They are an incredibly sophisticated party of political racists. In fact, they are an anti-human party, a party that in principle refuses to take into consideration the welfare, happiness and hope of nations.
Watch their behavior--they don't believe in any religion. When among Christians, they don Christian vestments in order to dupe the Christian community, thereby gaining control of their societies, and then they do the same when among the Jewish community. They use Judaism to portray themselves as innocent to gain control of the Jewish community. Thus, they pave the way to violate the rights of other nations. They don't believe in any faith. Essentially, they don't believe in any values, either human or divine. They look after their own interests. They pursue power and control over the main global centers. How they have committed grave crimes for the past 80-100 years and it is almost impossible to find any contemporary war in which they have not played a major part…
The reader will note that the opening remarks from the 'Hitler of Iran' (as Ahmadinejhad is portrayed in the self-absorbed and juvenile-minded Zionist press) referenced Jesus, the Messiah, whom all Muslims expect will return at the end of time for the defeat of evil, certainly a huge departure from the propaganda that gullible American Christians are fed on a regular basis concerning the 'inherently anti-Christian' nature of Islam.
Unfortunately, during the transmission of the video over the internet from Iran, the last 3 minutes of the speech did not arrive. However, based upon the information relayed to this reporter by the aforementioned Iranian media official, at one point in the final 3 minutes of the speech President Ahmadinejhad holds up a copy of American Free Press newspaper (of which he is said to be a loyal reader) and announced something to the effect that 'If the American media did what this paper does every week in exposing the truth, the American people would not find themselves in the unfortunate position that presently occupy.'
In the meantime, this reporter is busy hammering down the details for an upcoming interview with Ahmadinejhad for American Free Press newspaper where he will be given the opportunity of saying whatever he wishes to say, not only to the American people, but indeed to the entire human race concerning the issues that all are facing today regarding the cancer of Zionism and the serious danger it portends for the peace and security of all people worldwide.

Well, at least the home page is funny. There's lots of info there, too, if you're inclined to dig a bit deeper.
Monthly Archives: October 2009
Welcome to the Internet age
Where the average U.S. citizen spends up to 68 hours per month using the Internet both at home and at work (with almost 5 and a half hours spent using Facebook), a statistic that is rapidly catching up to TV viewing time.
Where there were approximately 8.4 million active internet subscribers in Australia (as at the end of June 2009, according to the ABS).
Where broadband access has been declared a legal right in Finland, with providers having to supply all users with access speeds of at least 1 Mbps, with the aim of increasing speeds up to 100 Mbps by 2015.
What's next for connectivity? How else will Internet usage impact on our habits and lifestyles?
Waves in motion
Having briefly looked at Google Wave, it's been interesting to follow conversations happening with people who are currently using the beta version and to get a bit of a look in to what people are envisaging they might be able to use Google Wave for.
I'm looking forward to getting to grips with this emerging technology when it finally surfaces from betadom.
What is Web 2.0?
This video has been around for a while but it nicely sums up some of the underlying ideas of Web 2.0, as well as hinting at the kinds of issues that new developments in technology will bring. I particularly like the video's distinction between form and content – RDA eat your heart out!
Presentation developed by Dr. Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology and Digital Ethnography, Kansas State University
Riding the Wave
Currently in the Google test shed is Google Wave, a new hosted integrated communications suite. It is designed to facilitate real time communication and incorporates features such as email, calendars/scheduling with mutliple participants, link and file sharing as well as in-line editing of documents by multiple users. It also has a "playback" feature so that users who join the "wave" (the name for each communication) at a later stage in the conversation can be brought quickly up to speed with the wave's history.
Google Wave has a range of developer built gadgets and bots that can assist users in riding the wave. For example, there are bots to interface with other services (such as Twitter), or ones that can translate text in real time. You can even publish directly from your wave to your (Blogger) blog and repsonses to your wave (on the blog or in-wave) will automatically update in both the wave and blog spaces. More information about these features can be seen in this video.
The code behind Google Wave will be made open source to encourage further user-driven enchancements.

I've been using bit.ly as my URL shortener of choice for a while (that's something I never thought I would say) – the main reason being the stats that you can get about traffic via their web interface.
They recently updated the look and feel of the Bit.ly info page, and it looks great: more information at a glance about who is clicking on your links, and where they're clicking on them from. Here's a quick tour of the new info page:
Top line stats
This is pretty much the same as before, with a quick breakdown of where your content is currently being shared. I've never been 100% convinced that the share stats are 100% accurate in this top line information, but they give you a good insight:
Clicks and visitors
The animated bar chart that is the centre of the new Bit.ly info page has had a bit of a face lift, and is now a lot more animated than it was previously. Also, the location of the timing options has been moved slightly into a drop down menu on the right hand side of the graph, whereas before it was on the left. The animations when you mouse over the graph are quite attractive, and contain quick info about how many clicks your link had in a particular time frame:
Referrer Information
This is a new addition to the new Bit.ly info page, and contains information about where your visitors are coming from, and what country your content is being shared in. The data that you are shown in this graph is tied into the time line you have selected to view in the click graph above, so it is quite good for seeing how different countries are referring visits at different times of day.
It also includes information about the client that is being used to share your content – if you are seeing a lot of mobile devices being used, it might be worth considering adding a mobile version of your website, if you haven't already.
There is always a slight issue with any traffic stats that you get with URL shorteners in that some clients seem to strip away the referrer information, and suggest that the visitor was direct, rather than coming from somewhere – in the case of this post, the figure was 38%:
This isn't a major issue, because I'm not trying to measure any kind of conversion attribution using Bit.ly, and if I was, I would ideally be using separate shortened URLs for different placements (ie Facebook, Twitter etc) to give me a bit more insight into where my content was popular, however that's not really necessary for the blog.
The lists of Tweets where your link has been included has been really improved, and now includes the avatar of the person who shared your content. It's a really nice touch, and makes a big difference to the look of the page:
There is also a much cleaner HTML 5 version of the mobile interface that makes checking your traffic on Bit.ly when you're on the move easier. The old mobile version of the website was actually just the desktop version of the website, and as such it wasn't great from a usability perspective. Great news for stat junkies on the go everywhere.
Recursion Alert
Here's a link to the new version of the Bit.ly results page for this very post should you fancy seeing it's traffic in real time… I don't think that clicking on the info page for stats about the page that you're clicking through from will break the internet, but it might be a bit like dividing by zero, so be careful:

Tate Lovett is the rising social star you need to know about
This article is a part of #KanvasLive, an interactive, cross-platform content series brought to life on the Kanvas app and AOL.com. See more on coverage here.
Tate Lovett may only be 15-years-old, but he's already made a significant impact on the social media industry. He's been a popular influencer across all platforms, including YouTube, Vine, and Instagram. He's mastered the art of videos that focus on funny viral challenges to travel vlogs and everything in between. Since starting his YouTube channel, Lovett has already amassed over 160,000 views. On top of that, his Vine channel boasts over 450,000 loops and his Instagram has 13,000 avid followers.
It's no surprise with his reach that Lovett has hardcore fans. We recently caught up with Lovett during this year's Playlist Live in Orlando -- the event that brings together some of the best online creators of our generation to meet their fans up close and personal -- about his craziest fans interactions, how he rose to social media fame, and what he hopes he will achieve in 2016.
What brings you to Playlist Live this year and is this your first year here?
This is my second year! I came because I was really excited to see my friends who came here last year. Hopefully we can make some videos together and can spread the reach of my channel a bit more.
How did you get your start on social media?
With my channel, I've been making videos forever. I was posting on MySpace before YouTube was a thing. I made lots of funny videos with my friends and people seemed to like them so I started making more and more. The following started growing in the hundreds per week and then earlier in 2014 Taylor Kenneth, a popular Vine star, picked me up and I started doing a couple of shows with him. He shouted out my channel so much so it gave me the perfect platform to be posting every single week.
What is your favorite thing about social media?
That I'm able to do something different than the usual high school experience and I can get a job that I would actually like doing. I'm printing my own merchandise and planning 100% of my own events so the profit is going towards my future projects.
Whats there every a moment you had when you realized you could really make Vine a big part of your life?
Yes! Before I was on the tour, I did photography and everyone really liked me because I was the cute photography kid who had a YouTube channel. So I was on top of the roof taking a video of everybody and instead of chanting Taylor Kenneth's name, they were chanting my name. It was the coolest thing ever. It was an surreal moment.
Do you have a favorite fan moment?
I was in a big mob of people and someone stole my wallet! Another time I was in a mall and I got mob. And I was trying to take a Snapchat of everyone. And someone bumped my arm and one thing led to another and my phone fell off this balcony. It almost hit this mom who was in the mob, so I run down and find that she was taking photos on my phone. She said that she would give me my phone back if I followed her daughter on Twitter. My phone wasn't cracked or anything which was really insane, but that stuck with me.
What is like balancing your school life with your online one?
A couple of years back when I was in public school, the YouTube scene was weird. No one really like it. I tried one school out and it didn't really work so I went to another right as I started to do shows. It's not a normal thing that high school kids do, to just sell out VIP meet and greets.
What are you most excited for in 2016?
It's been really cool so far. I came from doing three shows a year to two -- one free and one paid -- a month. I've been making a lot of really cool videos too. I'm really excited to continue with both.
What is your favorite emoji right now?
My most used are weird ones. I use the fire emoji, the rocket ship, and the pray hands all the time.

ENrich™ High
Resolution Ion Exchange Columns
Need fast, high-resolution purification of biomolecules? Integrate high-capacity ENrich ion exchange columns into your workflow.
High performance liquid chromatography is the use of high pressure to generate flow through a packed chromatography column. The development of what was initially called high-pressure liquid chromatography, and is now called high performance liquid chromatography (both abbreviated HPLC), has increased both the speed and sensitivity of molecule separation for analytic and semipreparative scale applications.
In high performance liquid chromatography, the particles in the column packing have smaller diameters than in gravity or low-pressure systems, providing a greater surface area and thus increasing resolution. Additionally, the higher pressures yield faster run times. The level of pressure used depends on the capability of the pumps in the system and pressure rating of the column and packing.
Bio-Rad offers several high performance liquid chromatography columns including our industry-leading Aminex HPLC columns, ideal for analyzing small organic molecules like carbohydrates or organic acids, alcohols, and bases. Our Bio-Scale CHT Type I columns, featuring Bio-Rad's unique multimodal CHT ceramic hydroxyapatite media, are traditionally used for medium-pressure applications but are also ideal for high-performance liquid chromatography. ENrich is our newest line of HPLC columns and can be used for size exclusion or ion exchange chromatography, with either cationic or anionic media types. The new ENrich columns are uniquely designed for separating proteins and other biomolecules at fast flow rates.
The basics of a high performance liquid chromatography system include one or more reservoirs for solvent, a high-pressure pump, some form of sample injector, the column, a detection system, and a container for waste collection. Detectors are usually linked to a computer to generate a chromatogram and perform data analysis. Frequently, there is a fraction collector immediately downstream of the detection system to collect the separated molecules. The fraction collector can collect fractions continuously or may be linked to the detector and collect only peaks of interest.
Another component frequently added to a high performance liquid chromatography system is a guard column. This is placed after the sample injector but before the analytical column. A guard column will catch particulates in the sample and bind any compounds that could permanently bind to the main column and damage it. The guard column protects the HPLC column, both maintaining its high resolution and prolonging the lifetime of the column. For a high performance liquid chromatography column with silica-based packing, a silica-containing guard column can be used so that solvents that attack silica (such as water and methanol) will be adsorbed before the solvent reaches the main column, significantly increasing its lifetime.
The type of detector used depends on the samples and analytes being detected therein. The most common type of detection is by ultraviolet (UV) absorption, as many compounds absorb in the UV range. Other types of detectors include fluorescence and evaporative-light-scattering detector (ELSD). Some systems have more than one detector type linked in series, and a high performance liquid chromatography system is frequently linked to a downstream mass spectrometer to form a liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) system.
An inline degasser between the solvent reservoirs and the pump is now present in most HPLC systems. This system is much more effective in preventing air bubbles in the pump than degassing solvents prior to use. Air bubbles in high pressure systems were a major problem until effective inline degassers were developed.
In high performance liquid chromatography, the particles in the column are called the stationary phase, and the solvent is known as the mobile phase. Separation of molecules in high performance liquid chromatography is usually based on one or more of three main chemical characteristics: polarity, charge, and size. The choice of the stationary phase is determined by the molecule(s) of interest in the sample and which type(s) of interaction with the stationary phase will give the highest resolution.
There are two types of elution modes, isocratic and gradient. During isocratic elution, the mobile phase is the same throughout. For gradient elution, the system must include two or more solvent reservoirs, a gradient valve, and a mixer to provide a gradient in the solvent profile over time. Solvent gradients usually involve a change in the concentration of an ion or an organic solvent.
The choice of stationary and mobile phases and isocratic or gradient elution requires a knowledge of the molecule(s) of interest in the sample. The most common choice for high performance liquid chromatography is called reversed phase chromatography, which uses a nonpolar stationary phase and a polar mobile phase.

Vice Chancellor's Parlour
The 2016 innovation week roadmap has officially kicked off. This year's innovation week will take place from the 1st of August all through to 5th August. The 2016 innovation week will focus on partnerships for innovations that truly impact people and societies.
Speaking during the launch the Vice Chancellor Prof. Peter Mbithi said that one of the intentions of holding the annual innovation week was to put the university in the forefront in the process of generation and preservation of knowledge and most especially in the area of research.
Mr. Christopher Fabian a senior Advisor on the innovation to the Executive Director at UNICEF who spoke at the launch noted that universities have always been a beckon of light and they were excited to be working with the University of Nairobi. It is not about solving problems with just Kenya, but solving global problems. The innovation week points towards global change.
The 2016 innovation week is set to attract over 1000 delegates from different categories: entrepreneurs who have developed ideas, innovators who are developing solutions to specific problems, policy makers to focus on innovation, research etc, organizations, academia, faculty, students, members of the public and also the media who wish to cover the event.
The first innovation week was held in 2015 between 3rd and 7th August, with the theme "innovate and Prosper. The event attracted over 700 delegates, 13 sponsors, 50 exhibitors, 5 international invited guests, and over 55 research papers.
The launch was attended by the DVC Academic Affairs, Prof. Mutoro, ICTC Director Ibrahim Otieno, and C4D Lab Co-coordinator Tony K Omwansa among others.

Reviews for SpinTunes #9, Round 2 by John DiBello
Hullo folks hullo! Round Two! My, my, it seems like only two weeks since round one. Time flies when you're having your heart broken, which is what this collection has done to me like a petulant ex-girlfriend twelve times (plus five Shadow Gals who broke my heart but I didn't rank 'em on it). That's why in addition to my reviews I'm also giving each song a rating named after one of all the girls I've loved before, as Willie Nelson has made a living singing about and suing me over. Will your song receive the relatively minor connection of the lady who didn't save the last dance for me at the final sock hop of the year at Teen High (Yes, I went to school in Anytown, USA, ZIP code 12345). Or will it be branded as that duplicitous hussy who dumped me faster than her movie career took off following her star turn in the film Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael? Yes, I'm naming names and shaming shames to remind you that the things we do for love, all that walkin' in the rain and the snow when there's nowhere to go, might just actually be worth it if you can get a good song out of it.
Enough introduction. LET'S PLAY THE FEUD! I mean, SPINTUNES!
1. MC Ohm-I "Love Her Again in Hell"
Love this one, plain and simple, because to me there's nothing more satisfying than thinking of the perfect rejoinder to a heartbreaking dress down by a duplicitous loved one. Sure, that perfect rejoinder comes ten and a half months later, but who among us hasn't wanted to yell after the retreating perfect rump of that once-loved snake-in-the-grass "I'll see you in hell!"? I find this phrase is an excellent fit for all occasions in life, from vowing vengeance on your lifelong nemesis to counter service at Kentucky Fried Chicken. MC Ohm-I twists that with a wish of "it's swell that one day I'll get to love her again in hell," a turnabout both barbed and adoring in one fine line. With a funny, on-target hip-hop refrain reminiscent of pop culture rapper Adam WarRock, one of my favorite indie artists of the comics and anime world, MC Ohm-I's created the theme to that time in my life following April Park around on the sci-fi convention floor carrying her manga purchases like a happy lovesick puppy. She was Voyager and I was Next Gen and never the Alpha and Beta quadrants shall meet.
2. Brian Gray "Otisburg"
Brian Gray has been paying attention. That's very, very clever, Brian. No, not as sinister as a confidence game or the duplicitous way Bridget Evans smiled in my face all the while going to second base (not with me). I said last round that I am a sucker for tunes based on comic book characters, and here's one, served up on a plate like fresh-out-of-the-oven chocolate chip cookies, and pretty darn tasty it is, too. The music and lyrics are fresh and funny and 'fluenced by comic book origins along with the plus of not being by the Spin Doctors. In 1978's Superman: The Movie, "Otisburg" is the name of the town that hapless henchman Otis (Ned Beatty) imagines he'll be in charge of once Superman's nemesis Luthor takes over the world. Now, have I read the lyrics right? Is this in fact a love song from Otis to the human being least deserving of being loved, Lex Luthor himself? If so, that is brilliant and wonderful and at as attractive as my infatuation with Lily Lorris, who was as pretty as Lana Lang but as sharp-tongued as Lois Lane.
3. Governing Dynamics "Where the River Meets the Earth (Film Noir Blues)
An exceptionally apt genre here: doesn't the game of love always have us singing the blues? The guitar sound here is absolutely sublime mixed with the scratchy Tom Waits-flavored vocal, which honestly, is the only thing in life you want with the flavor of Tom Waits. This solid mix and bang-on-target approach to the challenge of SpinTunes 9-2 will have me returning to this track for repeated listenings, probably late at night when I'm morosely leaning on the bar of a seedy tavern, staring balefully into a mostly-empty slug of whisky and thinking about Mindy Sullivan, as shiny and as sharp as a stiletto between the ribs. She's still got me singing the blues.
4. Jerry Skids "Another Apology"
Jerry gets the lyric award from me this round (pin it on your bulletin board and look upon it fondly, Jer!) with the second verse of this SpinTune, which I quote not merely to fill up space in my review but also because I'm jealous of the lines "Another dial tone, another stomach flu" and "good evening, Mrs. Hyde" and a post-pop-styled musical beat quick and groovy enough to dance to and cutting enough to sob along with. It's a charming juxtaposition with clever lyrics that reminds me of the effect (not necessarily the style) of upbeat tunes with morose lines by Morrissey or Sophie B. Hawkins, bemoaning the broken promises of a love. Not that I'm trying to point our anyone in particular, Karin Johansson, when you told me there'd never be anybody else in our lives when in fact there had been somebody else in the past fifty minutes.
5. Steven Wesley Guiles "True Blue"
Ever see the movie That thing You Do with America's Sweetheart (Male Division), Tom Hanks? (Seriously, doesn't everybody adores him? One day we'll find out that he murders nuns and orphans and stores them in his basement, and we will still love him like he's our own favorite uncle.) That movie succeeded in the difficult task of introducinga pop song that we'd enjoy hearing eleventy-seven times throughout the film. It's short, it's catchy, it's an infectious earworm of a pop song. Ditto that for Steven Wesley Guiles entry. I'm diggin' the bebop doo-wop rhythm of this one and its catchy, straightforward (but not simplistic) lyrics perfectly capture the heartbreak of that One Girl you'll always be faithful to no matter how many times she backs over your cat and her heart (not necessarily in that order). I'm looking at you, Jodi Zeck.
6. Turboshandy "Some Idea of You"
I never thought we'd have radio stations which would feature and oldies hour called "Nine O'Clock Nineties," but history has often proven me as wrong as a very wrong thing stapled to a incorrect answer to a mathematical problem, using a SwingWrong stapler. Frankly, if I want to listen to the popular hits of Pearl Jam, Radiohead, and Oasis, I'll listen to them on the media for which they were intended: Sony's Digital MiniDisc. And I'll be copying Turboshandy's tune over to MiniDisc as soon as I'm done writing this entry, because it reminded me of the nineties: a lovely bittersweet mix of a fuzzy grunge instruments sound dipped in sharp, pointed and poignant vocals about how the idea of a love never quite matches the reality. Unrequited love of the 1990s Mona Laurent knows what I'm talkin' about here: the song is edgy and heartbreaking as she is.
7. Army Defense "Don't Fool Yourself"
Man, this round brings back a lot of memories, and they're not all memories like the ones of my first crush Martine Weston who literally never knew I was alive (thanks to that unfortunate kindergarten incident with the wooden hippopotamus puzzle and the finger paints). There's a solid variety of different sounds and approaches in this second SpinTunes round that takes me back in my life. Army Defense's gentle tune is on first encounter almost a quiet coffeehouse guitar folk ballad, until you pull the lyrics sleeve out from the LP and stretch out on your bed under the Logan's Run poster and let the words sink in, "in the morning you're still drunk and driving home high / the windows stuck the rain is on your arm, in your eyes / so, don't fool yourself." It's sad and sharp and personal and universal and it's about Every Lover and Martine Weston. It's about love. And how love is not always the best thing in life.
8. James Young "Moth"
Nice lyrics, nice melody, nice song: an inoffensively apologetic attack on a terrible, terrible lover in a mildly catchy tune that wouldn't be out of place in an small-budget indie movie starring Ellen Page as a Brooklyn hipster who must balance her life and art against her love for poorly-shaven artisanal food truck proprietor Jared Leto, with a cameo by Bill Murray as Mr. Ellen Page's Dad. This one falls near the middle of the road, both in my ratings and in my interpretation of Round 2's challenge. It's a doomed romance defined by intentional lyrical clichés: moth to a flame, blinded by the light, chewed up and spat out. This romance is obvious and mid-road, like my infatuation for casually normal girl Kayleigh Baum, hard to hate even after the incident with my pet moth and her candle.
9. Kolton H. "Sacred Drug"
Moody! Introspective! Menacing! Suitable to being poetically compared to a crippling and incapacitation drug addition! That's not just my ultimately doomed infatuation to black-hearted Pandora St. Fearfield but the ominous one-key piano melody set behind an electronica rave and a shadowy vocal that Barnabas Collins woulda been envious of. This is an elaborate portrait in song of the intoxicating rush and the venomous sting of love, the pain as cold and solemn as a graveyard that has sold plenty of black wall paint to love-rejected teenagers and has made a mint for Evanescence. Dammit, Pandora St. Fearfield, I take no pains but plenty of pleasure in telling the world that your real name is Susan Smith and you're a poser, no matter how much black lipstick you buy.
10. Zoe Gray "Jesse's Girl"
The phrase "Jesse's Girl" reminds me of Rick Springfield, and it's natural for anyone thinking of Rick Springfield to remember his starring role in that 1970s classic: the Saturday morning animated cartoon Mission: Magic, right? And much like Rick Springfield's gradual dawning realization of the fact that he's trapped in a magical cartoon fantasyland of psychedelica with some school kids and their way-too-sexy for kids' cartoons Wiccan schoolteacher, Zoe Gray's lyrics expose more and more of Jesse's careless attitude and casual playing with her heart as it progresses. A bright and cheery vocal and catchy tune belies just how much of a heel the narrator/singer is better off without. Ironically, it's us, the tune-listeners, who are more aware of it than the singer. Lovely pop candyfloss with a venomous serpent surprise inside, not unlike Babs D'Angelo, red-headed siren of seventh grade who took my gift of Five Flavors Life Savers and left me with the sour taste of year-old pickle juice.
11. Sid Brown "I'm Just Too in Love with Loving You"
Sid is bullseye on target with his definition of love turned sour thanks to a careless, hurtful lover: often the idea of being in love with him/her/Tina Carson is more important than the person himself/herself//Tina Carson. It's got a pleasant but unsurprising singer/songwriter feel, a warm herbal tea that could be ironically enlivened by a few drops of venom: perhaps a little twist of the knife/salt in the wound/Tina's sarcastic, encyclopedic insults. I don't want to get too critically literal (not like Tina) with each SpinTunes round, but Sid undermines his own intent by defining the song after the emotion and not the person technically the opposite direction this second race is supposed to be run.
12. Steve Durand "One More Chance"
A moody blues riff kicks this jazzy torch tune off, feeling like a smoke-infused musical interlude in a black-and-white noir detective movie chock full o' private dicks, gats, frails, and cement overshoes in a size that'll last you the rest of your short life. I quite like the originally and unique approach of this forties-flavored tune, showing that SpinTunes genres don't have to be limited to the music of our lifetimes. I applaud the concept and approach more than the song, though. I was reminded too much of Peggy Lee's "Why Don't You Do Right" throughout, and the concept seems a little bit too ambitious for the execution, which would have benefited from a more full orchestral sound, a slower and bluesier pace, and a deeper, more soulful vocal. Like Lew Archer rubbed out like by Brigid O'Shaughnessy and my romantic intentions cruelly gunned down by Kit McCarthy, this one's got the stuff that dreams are made of, but it's only a paper moon.
Shadow Tunes, oh how shall I rate you? Five songs that are excellent and lovely and don't count for the final tally, much like my utter infatuation with the Go-Go's doesn't count in my real life…oh wait, five songs, and five Go-Go's. I think you can figger out how this is gonna go.
1. Felix Frost "Jasper"
An eloquent and polished plea for life lessons with the rhythm of a sixteen bit video game and the refraining chant of an angel, all addressed to Mixed Martial Arts Fighter Mike Jasper. Actually, I'm not certain about that last bit at all so I just guessed, but I love the song, just like I love Jane Wiedlin even when she's confusing me by riding on a dolphin or talking about bondage on a reality show. Both are poppy and positive with a new wave beat, and both have appeared in the Star Trek movie The Voyage Home. (Note: Felix Frost may not have actually appeared in Star Trek: The Voyage Home.)
2. Megalodon "The Harsh Light of Day"
I'm sorry Megalodon's in the Shadow category this round, 'coz I really enjoyed this jazz/pop love/hate fusion of how "she took all my credit cards / drained all my bank accounts / not gonna fall for that again." Been there, done that, bought the souvenir tee-shirt, but I only wish I could express the experience as eloquently in song and words as Megalodon. Much like I'm green-as-Kermit envious of Charlotte Caffrey for writing the sublime "We Got the Beat." Both are songs I'm gonna listen to again and again.
3. Dr. Lindyke "Nothing But Love"
Doc's toe-tappin' tune is a funny and fatal checklist of the gleefully committed sins of That Darn Woman ("she's an honorary member of the fraternity"). Made me laugh with its clever lyrics and upbeat optimism, much like Belinda Carlisle "Heaven Is a Place on Earth," especially since the Voyager probe has shown us that we all know Heaven is a place on Neptune.
4. Heather Zink "Love at First Sight"
"Love at First Sight"'s dueling duet is a great idea: a cool and brainy lesson that love is a two edged blade and that in any relationship both parties can be at fault and be replaced at any time, set against a charming melody as dependable and steady as the drumming of Gina Schock, whose crimes include writing songs for Miley Cyrus, and yet I can't help but love that girl. See what I mean?
5. Plentitude "Are You Here"
The theme of this SpinTune round is most elegantly expressed, in my opinion, when there's a harsh dichotomy between realization of and self-delusion over how conniving, carelessly, hurtfully rotten that past love was. "Are You Here"'s wish for a second chance with a lover as cold as ice is easy on the ears and hard on the heart. Not unlike the legal "irreconcilable differences" that led to the Go-Go's replacing Kathy Valentine, although I much prefer Plentitude's lyrics to wading through the stacks of dense court case files exchanged in Valentine v. Carlisle, Wiedlin, Caffrey and Schock.
Wait just one darn minute! Maybe I shoulda rated these Five Shadow Tunes against the Spice Girls! Let's see…Sporty, Ginger…hmmm…Scary…Baby, then Posh. What, it's too late and too lame? Ah well…next time for sure. Zig-a-zig-ah!

Kerrville lawyers dismissed from developer's suitBy Zeke MacCormack - Express-News
Richard and Dixon Mosty, father-son lawyers from Kerrville, have been dismissed as defendants in a federal lawsuit filed by Andy Phillips Sr., a developer there.
U.S. District Court Judge Harry Lee Hudspeth ruled Thursday that they are immune from liability since their alleged acts occurred as lawyers for Herb Williamson, who was a partner of Phillips in a defunct development there called Keystone Estates Inc.
Williamson sued Phillips in Kerrville in 2010 over misspent funds. Phillips, after countersuing, filed a federal suit that includes as a defendants District Attorney Amos Barton, who's accused of malicious prosecution.

Many people do a lot of mistakes when it comes to building construction. This is because the whole process can be overlooked right from the foundation until the whole building is set up. But the most important thing to understand is that every structure you construct is aimed at staying strong for a lifetime. It is therefore very important to invest in the building construction to ensure that you get a strong and long lasting building.
You can only achieve this with the aid of quality materials and most professional and skilled builders. Before the construction, you also need to check the type of materials being used to ensure that they are most suitable for the job. Since they are among the most important elements in ensuring that you come up with a quality and strong structure, a lot of attention has to be given on the materials.
What exactly are building materials?
Building materials are actually the backbone of the whole construction process. Messing up with the material being used will affect the whole construction at large. These include the bricks, cement, tiles and safety equipment. It is therefore important to choose the best supplier who can provide you with high quality materials. This will ensure that you lay a strong foundation for your building for you to come up with the desired structure.
Building material suppliers
There are actually a number of reasons why you must choose a reputable supplier for the construction materials. Suppliers provide products according to clients' requirements and this means that they are in a position to know the best products that can be used for your building process. But it is only a trustworthy supplier who will go an extra mile to ensure that the materials being issued are of high quality and long lasting too.
Quality materials
The best building supplier in Sydney will always ensure that the materials being used for construction meet the needs of the owner. They should also have a degree of certification for quality to ensure that the building will be safe for any residents who live in them. Besides delivering quality, they should also be in a position to comply with the following
- Timely delivery of the materials
- Should be flexible enough to be reached at any time of the day
- Issue warranties on all the items being bought
- Offer advice on the material that will work best for the construction
Will you need additional materials?
Besides the materials that are very essential for the construction, it is also important to include plastic. A construction without any plastic materials can look so ambiguous. You can purchase both plastic and brass online of looking for a reliable building materials supplier near your region.
To ensure safety for both the workers and people you intend to live in the building, it is very important to use high quality building materials. You can always search them online to ensure that they possess the necessary features before using them in your construction.

Anotehr day in kalakoa! My sister Chantal C always invites me here because she knows I can't say no! Haha. I had my usual cookies and cream smoothie but I also ordered the Orange chicken rice bowl for lunch. It was just okay, it last that tangy orange taste, but overall, it was "edible". My only concern is that it takes time for them to prepare the dish. 15-20min. Chany got the classic cheese supreme solo pizza and her usual vanilla caramel shake :)

My sister had a free cut class and my office is just along her school so she invited me to lunch out. I am still not familiar with the place so she suggested to come to Kalakoa because it's looloo-worthy daw!
It's located above a 7-11 so its not hard to find. Upon reaching the second to floor, an outdoor seating with faux grass flooring invited us in. We chose to eat inside though, since it's scorching hot outside. It's 12 noon!
We chose to sit by the bar. Other seats are unique too. They mostly have couch seats and Japanese style--floor seating (is that what it's called). The interior is leaning towards Hawaiian-beachy-surfer type. surfboards on the wall, cool pastel colored wall paint, mason jars and weaved hut counter. Plus, there's a lot of natural light which I really like!
Their music also fit the ambiance. It's mostly mild EDM and ukulele versions of pop music.
For the food, i don't know how i can express in words on how delicious the food are. We ordered the Tuna with Tomato and Basil Pasta (135php) it's not very big but it's very very good. The taste is perfect. The pasta- sauce-bread ratio is just perfect. The other thing we ordered is the solo sized herbed mushroom pizza (80php). It's around 7" diameter in size with semi-thin crust dough. This is how I want my pizza dough. It was not too thin like shakey's thin crust pizza and not to thick like hand tossed pizza. They gave us generous amount of mushroom toppings and the herbs are just enough and not too overpowering. And here comes the best part: the smoothies! I got the Cream "O" smoothie (Cookies and Cream) and Chantal C got the Molokai Smoothie(Vanilla & Caramel). We both loved our smoothies, me especially.
By the way, a bigger version of the pizza costs 280 and it's always on buy 1 take 1. Perfect for barkadas (especially for the college students who frequents the place, who are probably waiting for their next class)
Just one little thing: they don't give out receipts. Hmm.

I was having a really bad day today, but lunch made my day a little brighter!  thanks also to my sister 🏻
Lunch with my sister (yay!)
We ordered Tuna with Tomato and Basil, Herbed Mushroom Pizza (solo size) and for our drinks, Cream "O" and Molokai Smoothies!
The overall cost was around 400 pesos only and they were all great. In fact, Molokai smoothie is now added to my favorite drinks!
Indeed, i loved the food, place, and the music too!

Dear ORP faculty and all Higher Ed. Leaders:
The Optional Retirement Plan (ORP) bill (S1173) needs your immediate support. Formal sessions of the Legislature ended on July 30. Right now, our ORP bill remains in limbo. You are receiving this message because either you or many of your ORP faculty colleagues are in need of the retirement security that this legislation would provide. Many faculty who are now tenured want the opportunity for an informed choice about their retirement options. Please read the email below and act immediately to move this legislation forward.
Since my ORP action alert of July 9, 2010, little has changed. Our ORP bill has simply moved from one committee to another. S1173 now awaits action in the Senate Ways & Means Committee. ORP faculty from across the Commonwealth need to lobby in unison to move this bill out of this Committee and to the Senate floor for a vote. Whether you have contacted your Senator before or not, the time for our collective action is now. Lobby your Senators this week.
THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS and INFORMAL SESSIONS :
Although the state legislature ended formal sessions on 7/30/10, legislators are still doing business. Though passing legislation during informal sessions is not typical and often risky, since one objection can get in the way of forward movement of this bill, enactment during this time is legitimate and can happen. It is also the only hope left for S1173 – an initiative that is the culmination of more than 5 years of research, planning, grassroots organizing, and lobbying. Your lobbying efforts to date have already generated much bi-partisan support for S1173, so enactment is indeed possible, but we must lobby together. The power is in the hands of the Senate Ways & Means Chair to move this bill – or not. It is in our collective power to get our Senators to convince him to do the right thing.
* Ask your State Senator to support S1173 and to place a call to the Senate Chair of Ways & Means (Sen. Panagiotakos) to move this bill forward.
* Email your Senator first; then follow this with a phone call. If you can do only one or the other, make a phone call. Be sure to find out your Senator's position on this bill and if s/he will contact Chairman Panagiotakos. It is your right to know where your elected officials stand on legislation – and our responsibility to find that out.
* Little time is left for action on this bill. Urge every one of your ORP faculty to heed this message and respond accordingly. Chapter leaders please make calls to legislators in support of your ORP colleagues.
* Email me if you learn of any resistance to this ORP campaign, especially if it is coming from any of the key Senators identified on the attached list.
ORP bill S1173 needs support today. This bill currently sits in the Senate Committee on Ways and Means and needs to be moved to the Senate floor for a vote. Appeal to Senators to support this bill by contacting Senate Ways & Means Chair Steven Panagiotakos to move this bill out of the committee with a favorable recommendation. If Senators have already contacted this Chair regarding this bill, ask if they would do so once again. Chairman Panagiotakos still needs some persuading. Consider the key points below.
Though it is important to state that ORP bill S1173 is about retirement fairness and the opportunity for a fully informed choice on state retirement options, the emphasis needs to be on the points below. They currently carry the most weight in the Legislature. Per usual, tailor these points to your own circumstances:
* Portability and Tenure: The Optional Retirement Plan was established to provide portability for Higher Education faculty with transient lifestyles and for those who had not yet established tenure. This bill gave such faculty the opportunity to choose a retirement plan that would follow them wherever they chose to work. However, once faculty were tenured and wanted to remain employed at their college or university, no option was available for them to switch to the more secure state retirement plan – the State Employees Retirement System (SERS).
* Pressure to choose quickly: The 90 day irrevocable ORP enrollment policy is problematic. Many faculty were encouraged by HR to sign up for the ORP immediately though little information was provided on the SERS. Some states with similar plans have sign-up periods of two years or more; some extend the deadline for making a retirement plan choice until the faculty tenure process is completed.. In Massachusetts the time period for enrollment is limited and doest not support the retirement needs of tenured faculty.
* Inadequate Retirement Security: The ORP offers no retirement safety net for higher education employees and will be especially punitive to second-career faculty with Social Security earnings. ORP faculty will lose significant portions of their own or their spouses' retirement earnings because SS earnings will be diminished by their pension. Many faculty were told these offsets would not apply if they enrolled in the ORP instead of the SERS. Many ORP faculty will be forced to work well beyond retirement age to make ends meet or may have to turn to welfare upon retirement.- .
* Economic arguments: This legislation would be at no cost to the state.
o The state would benefit from the great infusion of cash into its Pension Fund. ORP members would be required to pay back all monies deposited to their ORP accounts plus interest on their ORP contributions.
o The State would no longer be required to allocate a 5 percent contribution on salaries to ORP enrollees who switched to the SERS. No such contribution is made to the Pension Fund for SERS enrollees, so this would. be an important savings to the state.
o The numerous ORP faculty who would face inadequate support from their ORP accounts upon retirement would have to turn to the state for basic survival needs – and thereby drain state coffers.
o Preventing ORP faculty from transferring to the SERS could impact the vitality and integrity of public colleges and universities. Tenured faculty would be more easily lured to the private sector or to other states where retirement security was ensured. Recruitment of highly qualified faculty would be more challenging.
* Compliance with IRS Code: S1173 has been reviewed by tax and pension experts and revised to ensure its compliance with the Internal Revenue Service code. This proposed redraft of the bill now awaits review by the Senate Ways & Means Committee.
* To find out who your State Senator is, go to: www.wheredoivotema.com
* To send an email to your senator, go to: http://www.mass.gov/legis/memmenus.htm
* To reach your Senator by phone, call the main State House number (617-722-2000) and ask to be connected to your Senator.
* Politics is a two-way street: Please be sure to thank Senators and their staff for their time, and thank those who have given support to S1173 already. The Senators (and staff) listed below deserve a special thank you for their leadership and support with our ORP Campaign. Consider a thank you call, even if you live in another district: Joan Menard (Staff: Tony), Fred Berry (Staff: Beth), Marc Pacheco (Staff: Amanda), Steve Tolman (Staff: Jenny), and Stan Rosenberg (Staff: Mark).
* An ORP Purpose Statement (with a list of S1173 misconceptions) and
* A Background and Rationale for S1173
* A list of key Senators ( Be sure to contact them if they are "yours" because of their respective leadership roles in the Senate. Their vocal support with the Senate Ways & Means Chair could make a difference in this campaign.)
Thanks, once again, to all of you who have worked so hard on this bill. Please continue this lobbying effort and act in your own behalf today.
Thank you,

The Samsung Galaxy S2, a phone that has sold over 20 million units, will get an update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on 15 March. This info comes from Samsung direct, so hopefully it won't evaporate into hot air.
We don't have full faith in its rock-solid-ness, though. Samsung's official Israeli Facebook page told the world that the ICS update would arrive on 15 March, but the post has since been deleted. As the best-selling Android phone there is, plenty of owners must be pining for the update by now.
Ice Cream Sandwich made its smartphone debut in the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, released in December 2011. Why the delay, when they are both Samsung phones? The Samsung Galaxy S2 uses the custom TouchWiz user interface, which needs a thorough re-tweaking and test any time the underlying Android software changes.
This delay has been the bane of Android enthusiasts ever since the first Android updates of 2008 and 2009. If anything, a 3-month delay isn't actually that bad compared with some past performances from HTC and others.
The main improvements of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandiwich are its new user interface – which incorporates virtual nav buttons – improved multi-tasking, better data usage tools and a much improved camera app. ICS also sees the smartphone and tablet sides of the Android kingdom get together once more – previously mobiles have used 2.x Gingerbread and (most decent) tablets 3.x Honeycomb.
Samsung's sequel to the Galaxy S2, the Galaxy S3, is expected to launch later this year. A rumoured April release was quashed by Samsung recently, but we expect it will do its best to beat the iPhone 5 to the punch.

This Week's Wrestling Good, Bad, and Ugly
Think about it...this dinner celebrates 35 years of a single promotion running wrestling shows... since 1967.
The real world in 1967 saw the movement against the Vietnam War becoming stronger; as for the first time, a majority of Americans questioned the foreign policy of their country. Riots broke out in major northern cities. Drug use, ranging from LSD to marijuana was becoming an issue in households all over the land. Social and economic issues were being confronted as never before.
Professional wrestling in 1967 saw Gene Kiniski the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, having held the belt for a year. In the Northeast, Bruno Sammartino was the WWWF champion, having held the belt for four years. The territorial system was in full bloom, with territories throughout the United States... and a small promotion in Wilmington DE, began running shows.
A large part of the reason that the ECWA is still around in existence is promoter Jim Kettner. Kettner's product is family-friendly in an era where a successful wrestling product is thought of over-the-top action mixed with heaping helpings of sex and profanity. While the latter is true for many promotions, it isn't for Jim Kettner's market... and for his market, his product has worked.
There are family-friendly promotions that may be friendly to your children, but as for the parents, well... tend to induce sleep at a rapid pace.
ECWA shows, on the other hand, are something you can take your children to, but not be bored to sleep watching yourself. The promotion offers a mix of clear babyface-heel storylines and great light-heavyweight matches.
Since 1997, the promotion has featured the top independent junior heavyweight tournament in the United States in the yearly Super Eight tournament, which has have featured top level independent stars as American Dragon, AJ Styles, Donovan Morgan, "The Amazing" Red, "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniel, Reckless Youth, Scoot Andrews, Vic Capri, Shark Boy, Chad Collyer, Jet Jaguar, Inferno Kid, Steve Bradley, Xavier, Bobby Rude, and Matt Stryker.
It has also featured the WWF's Jamie Knoble, Mick Foley, Matt and Jeff Hardy, The Dudley Boyz, Scott "Too Hotty" Taylor, Terri Runnels, Bob Holly, Kevin Kelly, Andrew "Test" Martin, Jacqueline, Christian and Edge, Kurt Angle, WCW's Billy Kidman, Devon "Crowbar" Storm, and Shawn Stasiak, ECW's World Champion Steve Corino, Lance "Simon" Diamond, Christian York and Joey Matthews.
If you're in the Wilmington area that night, this is a promotion worth celebrating.
Then the bad... or more correctly, the tragic.
The wrestling world lost Ted (Flyboy Rocco Rock) Petty as the result of a massive heart attack suffered Saturday night while in transit between halves of a doubleshot, having worked earlier that evening in Jersey City, NJ and on his way to 3PWrestling's show later that night at the ECW Arena.
1wrestling.com's Georgianne Makropoulos reported Sunday that Petty was being driven from his first match that night with Devon Storm at a show in Jersey City, to what would have been his second show of the evening at the ECW Arena, working the promotion's Heavyweight Champion Gary Wolfe. While being driven, Petty told the driver that he was having trouble breathing. The driver called 911 from a cellphone, and was told that EMS would meet them at the next Toll Plaza. When EMS personnel arrived, they pronounced Petty dead.
It seems sadly ironic that Ted Petty died on his way to a show at the building that made him famous, along with partner Johnny Grunge... the ECW Arena.
As a fan said on a wrestling message board shortly after the news was announced, it seemed that "Heaven needed a hoodie".
But a lot of us wish he hadn't been needed quite so soon.
Then, there was the ugly.
This past Saturday, America's Most Wanted featured a segment involving the August 1st assault on William (Messiah) Welch of CZW and EPIC.
The show featured some clips of Messiah in the ring, as well as an attempt to show the world of independent wrestling, with workers putting up rings, working out their matches before a show, and other elements of the life of an independent wrestler.
Welch discussed what actually happened during the attack. As has been reported all over the Internet over the last 2 months, two men entered his apartment. Welch, assuming they were friends of his roommate/ girlfriend, asked, "What's up?". They replied, saying "Not much, man." Welch said that he could see the two assailants arguing who would attack him in the reflection of the TV screen he was playing video games on. When he saw the assailants lock the door behind them, he confronted them, and was attacked.
In the fight, Welch struggled on the floor with the assailants. One got Messiah in a choke hold, and the other took out gardening shears. Welch described in eerie detail how he saw the shears wrapped around his thumb, and then heard and saw his thumb come off.
Welch finally fought them off and reached the locked door, but did not have his thumb to open it. He was again jumped by the assailants. Welch showed how one assailant reached down to his belt as if he wanted to cut his penis off, but Welch finally fought off the assailant off, who then fled.
Composite sketches of the men were shown, and investigators speculate over why Messiah was attacked like this. Speculation centered on a relationship between the assault and XPW promoter Rob Zicari, as a result of a relationship between Welch and Zicari's wife/girlfriend Lizzy Borden, with pictures shown of each. Film was shown of the attempt made by America's Most Wanted to interview Zicari, whose Extreme Associates offices were mysteriously closed during the business day at the time America's Most Wanted came to interview him.
The show speculated that Welch's thumb, which was taken by the assailants, may have been taken as proof for a paid hit on him.
Composite sketches and descriptions of the two assailants were shown and are available at the America's Most Wanted website.
The Welch segment is available for readers (with high speed/cable modems and Flash) to view now, through CZWinsider.com.
If anyone believes that they have information on the Welch assault please call 1-800-CRIME-TV.
Until next time...

HORROR IN REAL LIFE! 8 Severed Heads Found Throughout Mexican City of Durango!!!
On Tuesday, July 27th, Mexican authorities were tipped off that they would find something "amazing" in four parts of the city of Durango, Mexico. In each location was a pair of severed heads, 8 in all. Victims were identified as members of competing drug cartels. In a movie, this might be cool. In real life, this is very disturbing.

Q: What do you mean by miracles?
A: A miracle, as I'm defining it, is an event born in unconditional love. It has a healing ripple effect on everyone it touches and seems to defy the laws of the natural world as wonderful results unfold by way of serendipity rather than effort. It has a win/win, positive outcome that shows up in an instantaneous, coincidental way and it often feels beyond what we thought could happen, so our beliefs about what's possible stretch a little wider. The deeper miracle is the love that gives rise to the visible effects and the love that these effects inspire.
Q: Do you have to be a believer for all this miracle-making to work?
A: No. You just need the willingness to be a believer. Your imagination and an open heart will do the rest. Actually, according to near-death researcher Melvin Morse, M.D., the current debate between "skeptics" and "believers" has become obsolete because it's based upon old science.
Q: I don't believe in God. Isn't the whole premise of miracles rooted in a belief in God?
A:This is an interesting question because there are so many "Gods" to disbelieve in. I know many devoutly spiritual people who take offense at the very word because it's so tied in with religious dogma that doesn't fit their spiritual framework. Then there are others who embrace God yet have rigid and narrow definitions of what that is. In all the ways the word "God" is used can it ever be more than a hopelessly inadequate shorthand for something too big to capture in words?
But if the word offends, one could instead, turn to science and believe in the Zero Point Field. The Zero Point Field essentially is the energy left in a space when all possible matter and energy are removed. This remaining field comprises literally a super charged, sea-of-light backdrop to everything and physicists have theorized that if we learn how to tap it, it could become a limitless energy supply, meeting all our current needs, even enabling Star Trek-like space travel.
As physicists are working to explain and tap this incredible ocean of light, another very different glimpse into the light comes from the growing body of research of those who've had near-death experiences. Consistently, people who have clinically died and been revived tell a similar story of coming into contact with a mystical light. Research has shown these experiences to be profoundly transforming, leaving the survivors forever changed, with a measurably higher zest for life than the general population, more apt to have psychic abilities and perhaps even more intelligent.
It could be that the brief clinical death releases these individuals from the limitations of physical perception and enables them to have a direct experience of the Zero Point Field. Interestingly, the light that people describe is far from cold or neutral. Again and again, those who've seen it tell of a light that is powerfully benevolent, a light of unconditional love. A limitless, living energy field of light and love; one that is everywhere yet is invisible to our physical senses… it sounds like a description of God to me—or at least that kernel of truth that people of all times have tried to make comprehensible through the creation of religions.
Q: The following is an actual question I received that echoes many similar ones I've received related to the partial success of popular techniques such as visualizing, affirmation work and vision boards: "When I first made my board last year I did have some attracting experiences… the little stuff came true…. How do I get the big stuff, now, the way I got the small stuff?"
A: As even first-time practitioners of spiritual manifesting techniques can attest to, creating an isolated result is easy. To have them work consistently is another matter. Even for the most dedicated metaphysical practitioners, there can be big gaps between our conscious intentions and the unconscious agendas that drive our lives and determine our experiences. These gaps result in wheel-spinning where no amount of effort seems to change our pattern of struggle in certain areas of life.
The shift from unconscious wheel-spinning to mastery, paradoxically, takes less effort, less pain and struggle than everything else we've tried. Yet, its very unfamiliarity can make it feel excruciatingly out of our comfort zone and counter to all our past conditioning. It requires using familiar resources in unfamiliar ways, stretching our imaginations to places they've never been before, doing things we've been told we shouldn't or couldn't, surrendering where we usually exercise control and most of all, going bravely into the unknown. The journey can be at different times terrifying, exhilarating and ecstatic. And while this journey into true Selfhood may well give rise to remarkable healings, manifestations and synchronicities, it's so much more than these outcomes. Awakening to our Selves takes us beyond our needs, our wants and beyond the limitations of our thinking. It changes us; it doesn't simply produce results on demand. Without doing this profound personal work, techniques tend to produce partial results. Once we embark upon it, we're no longer so focused on the results.
Q: A question I get asked over and over goes like this: "Can my [Insert specific illness or symptom here] be healed through spiritual healing?"
A: I have seen illnesses of all types and magnitudes heal spontaneously in healing services so, yes, it's certainly possible that any dis-ease can be healed quickly and miraculously. At the same time, spiritual healing isn't like going to the dentist where we ask for a result and expect a reasonably predictable outcome.
Healing is about opening ourselves to God and trusting in the process of life no matter what happens. There's a mysterious alchemy that happens between the healer as catalyst, the recipient's internal (not necessarily conscious) readiness and God, and this process is far from predictable.
In the healing services I've seen, invariably some people get the healing they wanted and some don't. Some get a different healing than they asked for. Some come again and again before they feel that any healing has taken place while others never feel a thing no matter how many times they come. Sometimes the most devoted believers see no healing results while skeptics experience huge miracles. I've never met a healer who has a definitive answer for why healing happens sometimes and not all times, or how to guarantee that a healing will happen for a particular individual, but here are some general reasons I've found for why healing doesn't happen as predictably as we'd like:
- Too much attachment to and focus on the outcome can actually prevent it from happening because we infuse the process with more fear than faith.
- We got a completely different kind of healing and didn't see it because we're looking for it to take the form we asked for.
- Healing is happening at a slow, gradual pace that has the advantage of preparing our minds to accept and grow into the change but the disadvantage of happening so imperceptible that we don't notice it. Much like watching a plant grow—we can stare at a plant all day and not see anything happen but if we come back after a few months, we can see the difference.
- There's a hidden payoff to not healing. These payoffs are often very hard to see clearly (what could possibly be good about a condition that makes us miserable?!!) but until they're resolved, we won't be ready to let the symptom go. For example, for someone completely exhausted by a lifestyle of caring for others, a serious illness could enforce a change toward self-care that the individual felt unable to choose for him or herself. Subconsciously this person might be ambivalent about healing if it meant going back to the same oppressive and exhausting lifestyle.
- We're still learning a life lesson from the condition and spiritually aren't ready to let it go. We may be learning compassion or unearthing healing abilities, or developing strengths. A friend of mine who was born profoundly disabled felt strongly that she chose her body to help her learn to love life no matter what because she believed she committed suicide in a previous life. These soul agendas go even deeper than the kind of payoffs described above and it may never be possible to fully fathom the purposes of our soul through the filters of our personality but even if we never release a symptom, we can always release the suffering it brings.
- We're controlling life (not just in relation to our symptom) so much that we can't let go and let God.
Q: Isn't it selfish and small-sighted to be focusing on one's own personal desires when there is so much suffering and need in the world?
A: Desiring from life isn't a selfish thing. Desire is a way that inner guidance speaks to us, nudging us toward our path of highest good. Our true heart's desires always lead us to love: love of self, love for all creation, and the awareness that there is no difference in these because we're all one. As we act in service to our personal well-being, we become more empowered to serve the world and we find our desires naturally leading us in that direction as well. As we serve the world joyfully, we naturally attract all that we personally need to thrive.
When we're acting on our authentic desires (not to be confused with greedy consumption that stems from a fear of not having enough, or addictions that try to fill a void with something that will never truly satisfy), they bring personal joy and inner peace, and allow us to make a contribution to the whole. On the other hand, when we're doing what we think we should in a joyless way, we may have the best of intentions but our results tend to miss the mark. We don't succeed in feeling personally fulfilled or make a terribly important difference in the world in spite of our hard—emphasis on "hard"—work.

I assume you intended to include a link to the article (NYT).
Seems the owners manual will be the most stylish thing about the Coda. :wink:
Of course the manual has to be loaded because pdfs don't work well with the ipad.
Now everyone needs an app for that...
Zune ftw. haha
Apples attitude towards its customers will catch up with them.
I think the tablet replacing text books is a brilliant idea but I want to wait for LGs.
Sure they do. They can be loaded into iBooks. Also Safari will display them,although not as conveniently.
I've read of issues with it, but I know no specifics. ....I love to hate on Apple but it am fond of the pad. I would never buy one but now I need another type of device.
Not a huge fan of Apple myself, but love my iPad. PDF viewing is pretty bad on it -- I'm sure I'm just "holding it wrong" though.
I broke up with Apple a while ago. I finally managed to remove all traces of itunes from my computer when I got into podcasts of college lectures and the best place for that is itunesu.
I have spent some time recently playing with a few co workers new Driod OS based phones and I like the gui and the speed is impressive. You forget you are using a cell phone.
To be fair I feel that I should disclose I am one of those weirdos that likes separate devices that excell at one task than one multidevice. I have a phone with a camera a mp3 player with wireless but there is something about toys though.
