Description And Comments
Pooh is sunny, upbeat, and fun - more in the image of Peter Pan's Flight or Splash Mountain. You ride a "Hunny Pot" through the pages of a huge picture book into the Hundred Acre Wood, where you encounter Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Owl, Rabbit, Tigger, Kanga, and Roo as they contend with a blustery day. There's even a dream sequence with Heffalumps and Woozles. A 30-something couple from Lexington, Massachusetts, thinks that Pooh has plenty to offer adults:
The attention to detail and special effects on this ride make it worth seeing, even if you don't have children in your party. The Pooh dream sequence was great!
Touring Tips
- This attraction offers FASTPASS.
- Open for Morning Extra Magic Hour.
- Open for Evening Extra Magic Hours.
Because of its relatively small capacity, the daily allocation of FASTPASSes for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is often distributed by early afternoon. For the same reason, your scheduled return time to enjoy the ride might be hours away. It's not unusual to pick up a FASTPASS for Winnie the Pooh at 12:30 p.m. with a scheduled return time of 5 p.m. or later.
FASTPASS tickets for Winnie the Pooh are currently distributed near Mickey's PhilharMagic.
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Wait Times
This chart shows you roughly how long you'll wait for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh when you visit on a day with a given Magic Kingdom Crowd Level.

Disney Dish with Jim Hill
Tigger's Bouncy Place, planned as part of the interactive queue for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, didn't even make it through the updated dark ride's soft opening in 2010. Why not? Because the series of tiger striped pads, placed on springs hidden under the Magic Kingdoms's pavement worked a little too well as far as Disney's attorneys were concerned - they were worried that some guests would twist an ankle or break a leg while channeling their inner Tigger.

Professional Development | News
Peer to Peer University (P2PU) will offer seven free online courses for K-12 teachers from September to November as part of a pilot program.
P2PU is a peer-to-peer free online community that provides courses run by volunteer experts. Funding for the pilot is coming from William and Flora Hewlett Foundation; the courses have been designed in partnership with the Education Development Center and the National Writing Project.
The School of Ed classes, which will focus on creative learning methods for students by using peer learning and hands-on tasks, are:
"The pilot represents a new way of looking at professional development," said P2PU Executive Director Philipp Schmidt. "It models the kind of hands-on, learner-driven environment that we hope teachers will carry back to their own classrooms."

4.5 sugar sweet mocktheweek | 27/03/2010 | See all mocktheweek's reviews (25) Such a fabulous programme! so exciting to watch the adventures of sugar and how kim falls for her each time, aswell as the complete madness of her family's personal lives. The storyline keeps you enthralled and the acting is brilliant and believable. Lenora and Olivia are amazing actresses so it was fantastic to see them acting together. Well worth a watch!!
4.5 A rite of passage in itself Yak317 | 03/12/2009 | See all Yak317's reviews (24) A fabulous series, based on a fabulous book, you don't have to be gay or even a teenager to be able to relate to the issues raised throughout the two series. The messages about love, growing up, relationships and confusion have universal potency, and are portrayed particularly well here.And if you do happen to be young and queer then you actually have to watch this, it's been hailed the English equivilent of the L Word for a reason!The only tiny annoying point is that the soundtrack on the DVD isn't half as great as the iconic soundtrack on the series itself, being different in pretty much all cases, but c'est la vie.The two series in one boxed set is (slightly) better value for money, but is well worth it! Season 2 is just as funny, just as touching, and just as brilliant as Season 1.
4.5 A Masterpiece!!! vixen1208 | 15/04/2008 | See all vixen1208's reviews (1) I watched this on tv and did'nt see some of the second series it is absolutely accurate portrael of teenage lesbian life today. its a english teenage l-word
4.5 One Of the best! BadboyUK | 08/04/2008 | See all BadboyUK's reviews (5) I was brought this twin pack of dvd's as i caught the first episode on TV but managed to miss the rest! Every episode ended on a cliff hanger, so luckily i could watch one after another and i know i havnt got much of a life but i watch both series 1 and 2 in the same night as i found it sooo addictive and very very funny at times. :)

Abstract: This work studies the interactions between income distribution and monetary and fiscal policies in terms of ensuing dynamics of macro variables (GDP growth, unemployment, etc.) on the grounds of an agent-based Keynesian model. The direct ancestor of this work is the "Keynes meeting Schumpeter" formalism presented in Dosi et al. (2010). To that model, we add a banking sector and a monetary authority setting interest rates and credit lending conditions. The model combines Keynesian mechanisms of demand generation, a "Schumpeterian" innovation-fueled process of growth and Minskian credit dynamics. The robustness of the model is checked against its capability to jointly account for a large set of empirical regularities both at the micro level and at the macro one. The model is able to catch salient features underlying the current as well as previous recessions, the impact of financial factors and the role in them of income distribution. We find that different income distribution regimes heavily affect macroeconomic performance: more unequal economies are exposed to more severe business cycles fluctuations, higher unemployment rates, and higher probability of crises. On the policy side, fiscal policies do not only dampen business cycles, reduce unemployment and the likelihood of experiencing a huge crisis. In some circumstances they also affect positively long-term growth. Further, the more income distribution is skewed toward profits, the greater the effects of fiscal policies. About monetary policy, we find a strong non-linearity in the way interest rates affect macroeconomic dynamics: in one "regime" with low rates, changes in interest rates are ineffective up to a threshold beyond which increasing the interest rate implies smaller output growth rates and larger output volatility, unemployment and likelihood of crises.

Get the magazine exclusively for web professionals

Posted on 07.17.2012

Plenty has been written about the baggage that security concerns attach to the cloud. These problems are obviously multiplied when it comes to sharing documents and information up there. This continues to be among the biggest hindrances to rapid cloud adoption for some companies.
Many companies recognize this, however, and have been working to find the best solutions available. Yesterday, it was announced that secure mobile messaging platform TigerText was offering API integration with Dropbox that would let users securely send documents using the cloud storage service. All of the documents will be encrypted so that they can't be downloaded, copied, or forwarded, and the pairing offers additional features like a pre-set lifespan and file attachment recall at any time.
The two companies worked to make sure this integration would be worthwhile for everyone, from the average Dropbox customer that shares files with friends and family to businesses sending highly sensitive information.
"Anyone who has information that they would like to be able to share through messaging, but won't build a platform themselves, can now have an extension to communicate in a secure fashion," says TigerText President Brad Brooks.
This new Dropbox integration feature will be immediately released to consumers, and will be offered to enterprise organizations by the week's end. To start, users can access their Dropbox accounts using the TigerText iOS app, with Android and Blackberry availability to come.

So Armstrong wants to come back and play again?
What else is new?
Like Michael Jordan, Mario Lemieux, Brett Favre, Muhammad Ali and Gordie Howe before him, Armstrong couldn't stay away. Well isn't the first basic instinct we learn in sports derived from a Peter Pan-like childhood impulse that we never grow old and the games never end? Wasn't the most simple pleasure of those childhood games the knowledge that even when the sun went down, the street lights came on and we all scurried home for the evening, that just as soon as the sun came up again we could pick up right where we left off?
So if we can for just a moment get beyond whatever skepticism we might have about the achievements in his previous athletic life, can't every one of us on some basic level understand why the soon to be 37-year-old cyclist wants to ride again?
Most of the time when these superstars repeatedly come out of retirement, we take it personally, as if they're doing something to us, as if devaluing the concept of a permanent career withdrawal is eroding society as we know it. Or that somehow if they fail on their return into the fray, that will tarnish the memory of what they once were.
I see it a little differently.
Whenever I see when men like Armstrong or Jordan, Lemieux or Ali come back, I see brilliant athletes in the autumn of their careers who want to exhaust every ounce of their talent before leaving for good. I wish I could have done that. Unfortunately for me — and for the rest of us athletic mortals — we always ran out of talent long before we ran out of desire.
But Armstrong's comeback isn't apparently all about vanity. He says it's about being on a more public stage to raise money and heightened global awareness of the urgency of discovering a cure for cancer. Last year, in his home state of Texas, he successfully helped campaign to get a state appropriation for $3 billion funding for a local cancer research center.
Even while I always kept an eyebrow raised every time he won a race, I found Armstrong's passion for waging a personal war against cancer to be one of the most noble acts an athlete ever did with his high-profile stage.
But you can believe there's another purpose that Armstrong has in mind in this comeback, and it goes beyond the natural desire to keep competing or the nobility of battling cancer.
He promises that he'll win another Tour, and he'll do it under the most intense scrutiny of his life. He'll make this comeback so crystal clear, so totally transparent to all the doubters that no one will roll an eye, raise and eyebrow or inhale the slightest hint of suspicion about him again.
That's worthy enough motivation for a return from retirement. Unlike so many of these icons whose images couldn't be improved by a second act, Armstrong's legacy can be upgraded by a substantiated drug-free revival tour.
The Week in Sports PicturesThe nation grieved for those hurt, killed and affected by the Boston Marathon bombings. After one of the suspects was caught on Friday — following a day-long lockdown and manhunt — sports returned to Boston over the weekend. |
The reputation of cycling, particularly the Tour de France, has been greatly minimized by the stain of performance-enhancing drugs for more than a decade. Whether he likes it or not, Armstrong's questionable legacy is a part of that shaky and unflattering image.
Can one undisputed victory under this strict inspection outweigh the seven other titles that were done under the heavy cloud of suspicion?
We're about to find out.
Rafael Nadal is currently ranked fourth in the world, but has had a dominant run lately as he has won seven of the last eight French Open titles. Mary Carrillo thinks we're in store for a Nadal-Djokovic final.
LONDON (AP) - Andy Murray withdrew from the French Open on Tuesday because of a chronic back injury and will now focus on preparing for the start of the grass-court season next month.
There may not be a rivalry in all of college basketball more unique than the Battle of the Boulevard, which pits Belmont against Lipscomb.

Be An Artisan and Make Money Doing It
Ever hear the saying about using your skill to profit. It goes a little something like "if you are good at something then you should never do it for free." It doesn't matter if you are really good at drafting proposals for companies like electricity companies Texas or just drawing buildings. The same applies to the life and plight of the artisan. As an artist or an artisan, whatever term you like to refer to your ability to give form to your imagination, your greatest ability is realizing your mind's potential, and the potential of your clients, and that can be a lucrative talent, indeed. One of the best ways to start using your craft for professional purposes is to get a feel for what you can produce and the audience that is willing to buy it. What do the people want and does your product serve any real practical purpose other than being nice to look out. Bear in mind that as far as art goes, art really doesn't have to do anything other than be admired, but having that be the only objective and limit your audience and your ability to distribute overall. You also want to have a plan going into this including what programs you want to use and how you want to try and sell this. There are lots of online services that take all the confusion out of shipping and ordering and those can help you turn your talent for art into something profitable.

Audinst - HUD-mx1
Pros: Good value, compact, excellent sound quality, RCA out, headphone amp, USB powered
Cons: No on/off switch
Initially when I purchased this item, I was not very happy with it as I could not hear much difference between it and my Xonar DX, however as I tested it over a couple of days I really noticed a difference. Especially with the difference in sound-stage. The Audinst has a bigger sound stage than the Xonar, and overall a crisper sound, which can really be appreciated when playing music at a high volume (both in headphones and speakers).
I would definitely recommend this DAC for anyone wanting a good quality, audiophile grade sound card or DAC on a budget.

Whose permission do we need to be free?
When we think of democracy, those of us who live in democratic societies lay back, relaxed, with a smug smile on our faces. "Yeah, I'm cool, it's pretty free around here", we seem to say as we pity the unfortunate fools that had the bad luck to be born in some dictatorial part of the world. "Must be karma. Payback time, dude", we think as we grab another bite of our capitalistic McDonald's double cheeseburger washed down with a cold bottle of Diet Coke (of course), satisfied that our rights are being respected.
But, hey, wait! Us too, the so-called free ones, have leaders that know what's best for us. Sure, we elect them by casting a ballot and by so doing we entrust them with our will as part of the democratic decision-making process. But in the end, how can we tell they keep us in mind when they're in the middle of some important decision?
Immanuel Kant, the 18th century German philosopher, said that when it comes to democracy, law and freedom without force cannot be possible. He argues that if force is not included, then the law is just an "empty recommendation". When not under coercion, people won't do the right things, but will surely do the wrong ones. At least this is what Kant seemed to think.
States nowadays have a lot to do with force. It happened all over the world last year and it happened in Romania at the beginning of 2012. It was mid January when Romanians protested against an upcoming health bill and for a new president and prime minister. The new legislation stated that the emergency medical system should be liberalized, but doctor Raed Arafat - the man who created the present emergency care system - said it was fine just as it was. He was against the proposal and eventually quit his job as a state secretary in the Ministry of Health. The protests started in Târgu Mureş and quickly spread to over 51 towns and cities in Romania. Even if we're a democratic country, freedom of expression only went as far as the state allowed it. As soon as the chants became unpleasant or the movement turned too vigorous, the police unleashed their full might. We're told we're free, but the degree of our freedom is matter for supervision.
Whether anarchy in the sense of a stateless society is possible, I don't know. I'm also not sure if democracy without force would survive if it was ever conceived like that. But as the years go by, it seems to me that there is an ever deepening gap between citizens and their governments and not a relationship of cooperation. Do we need a certain political system, even if that system is democracy, to get a certain feeling like self esteem, joy of life or freedom? I don't think so.
When it comes to the space our inner selves move in, is there truly anyone whose permission we need to ask on how far I can go with my state of heart and mind?

New wedding shop opens in Winchester
10:30am Friday 31st August 2012 in Winchester
A NEW wedding shop has opened in Winchester.
Sarah Taylor opened the independent bridalwear shop Daisy Drew and aims to make Winchester women's dreams come true for years to come.
She said: "On our first day we sold a wedding dress and it just feels so nice to help somebody find their dress because it's something women dream about from when they are little girls. We want to stick around here and hopefully expand in the future so we can help women have their perfect weddings.
"I've not worked in bridalwear before so it's a new venture for me doing something I want to do rather than just paid to do. I thought if I don't do it now, I'll never do it."
It comes only 18 months after independent shop The Bridal Room on Chesil Street closed after 20 years.
But Ms Taylor said she had no concerns about whether Winchester was the right market for the shop.
She said: "Most bridalwear shops tend to be at the high end of the market but we make sure we offer affordable prices. There is definitely a market here and particularly for fair and reasonably priced dresses."
She runs the shop with the help of two consultants, Rachel Carby and Rhiannon Riley.
Ms Carby added: "We do not want our ladies to be going into debt for their weddings, we want them to completely enjoy them so we feel we are very reasonable."
A wedding dress at the shop ranges from £375-£1,400, while evening wear and prom dresses are also sold for between £150-£300.
Ms Taylor added the shop was pleased to throw its support behind the Hampshire Chronicle's Shop Local campaign to boost independent traders.
She said: "With high streets all looking the same with the big chains one after another it's important to keep things local and independent retailers like ourselves add variety to a place like Winchester."

Typically Dave Maas' "Killing Time" blog is the happenin' place for awe-striking videos, but today I'll share my own hot find.
Think you have basketball on the brain this weekend? Sure, the Final Four semis are Saturday and the championship is Monday, but there's no Wildcat, Buckeye, Jayhawk or Cardinal that can compare to the whitetail in today's "Killing Time" video.
T.G.I.H! Thank God I'm Hunting! This week I travel to Montana near the Powder River for an amazing deer hunt where I stalk in close to several nice mule deer and finally connect with a beautiful whitetail on the last evening of the hunt.

What's in a headline? A lot if you read the recent headlines on the northern Yellowstone elk herd: "Yellowstone Elk Herd Declines 80 Percent Since 1992."
Three brothers, Randall, Daniel and Michael Gregg (the Gregg Group), have conceptualized a new rifle platform that would shoot photos and video instead of bullets.
Regardless of what type of hunt you're going on, it's always a good idea to bring a hand saw to trim away extra branches or help build a blind. This week I head to Cabela's for Product Review Day and look at a Gerber hand saw.

For today's Q&A Day on "My Take," I respond to a viewer who wants to know what rifle he should buy his wife, and what would be a good caliber for deer hunting.

Last weekend, when I wasn't enjoying my grandma's home-cooked meals, I spent most of my time in her backyard with the company of songbirds and the best book I have ever read—no kidding—written by professional turkey hunting legend Ray Eye. Aptly named "Ray Eye's Turkey Hunter's Bible," it's what I would deem as authentic scripture directly from the Meleagris gallopavo gods for spring turkey hunters.
Despite the huge explosion of hunting on TV, the national picture of hunters isn't as rosy as it appears on the tube. Why? Numbers of hunters are stagnant or even decreasing in some areas. We're holding our own in the deer hunting venue, but that's the only bright spot, and I don't really think "holding our own" is exactly a rosy picture. Do you?
Today I'll share a few helpful tips regarding draw weight for hunting bows. Bowhunters, you don't want to miss this Tip Tuesday edition of "My Take."

WASHINGTON, Sep 20, 2012 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- The Saylor Foundation is pleased to announce a collaboration with Google, Inc. to offer Saylor.org courses through the Course Builder open source project. Beginning today, Saylor's Mechanics I will be open for free registration and will be immediately available to individuals across the globe via the beta platform released by Google.
Based on the software used by Google to build Power Searching with Google, the Course Builder open source project is an experimental technology and is the first step toward helping educational organizations scale their offerings through the cloud.
"We're beyond excited to be working with Google on the initial testing of Course Builder," said Alana Harrington, Director of the Saylor Foundation. "Google's unparalleled reach combined with this new approachable platform and our professor-vetted and -created open educational content could have a major impact on access to education around the world."
Through its mission to make education freely available for all, the Saylor Foundation provides an option for education-seeking individuals facing financial or geographical barriers by employing university professors to compile high quality, open educational resources into college-level courseware. The Foundation has built over 200 self-paced, automated college-level courses, which are freely available via www.saylor.org.
Individuals can register for Mechanics I through the Course Builder open source project at: http://cb-me102.saylor.org. The Saylor Foundation plans to roll out additional courses in the coming weeks.
About the Saylor Foundation
The Saylor Foundation (under its legal name, The Constitution Foundation) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. The Foundation was established in 1999 by Michael J. Saylor, the Chairman, CEO, and President of the business intelligence company MicroStrategy. Mr. Saylor serves as the Foundation's sole trustee. The Foundation's focus since 2008 has been its Free Education Initiative, through which it is using technology to drive down the cost of education to zero. Saylor.org serves as a zero-cost alternative for individuals who lack the resources to attend traditional brick-and-mortar institutions and as a complement to willing mainstream education providers. Saylor expects free, self-paced, automated online learning opportunities to motivate people to pursue personal growth and career ambitions as well as to lead to institutional change among education providers everywhere.

The Hangover Part III
The gang are back for their third outing but this time it is a more sombre affair.
The gang are back for their third outing but this time it is a more sombre affair.
Ireland's Colin Farrell and Chris O'Dowd join an impressive voice cast which includes Christoph Waltz, Jason Sudeikis and Beyoncé in this charming and visually arresting 3D animated tale of good versus evil on a miniature scale.
An initially sceptical John Byrne enjoys Baz Luhrmann's hypnotic homage to F Scott Fitzgerald's literary masterpiece.
Something In The Air masterfully evokes early Seventies France, as a group of young students become involved in violent political protest.
Ginger Baker is essentially from another time, a time when a musician could be talented and self-indulgent too. Jay Bulger's film about the legendary drummer is a fascinating and brave portrait.
Right from the start you somehow sense the seedy, visual drama A Hijacking will be. The Danish film a is masterpiece of taut drama, utterly convincing in its explorations of human behaviour under stress.
Cold, calculating widow Elizabeth (Charlotte Rampling) is about to die in leafy, posh early '70s Sydney. Her son and daughter fly in from London and Paris, as the details of her will are about to be revealed.
It's good Jim but not as good as the first one and maybe, just maybe Abrams' script breaks the Prime Directive.
Our Children/À Perdre la Raison
The happiness of a newly-married couple is seriously threatened by dependence on a wealthy benefactor. In its depiction of raw tragedy, the film is deeply unsettling.
The Desperate Hour-and-a-Half.
You'll dig it.
I'm So Excited mostly takes place on a dodgy plane carrying some equally dodgy passengers. Almodóvar's rather slapdash movie could have been much better, if it just stopped trying to be a screwball comedy.
Save Jeff Chang - and give him some decent jokes while you're at it.
And out.
Based on real-life events that hit the headlines in Texas in 1998, Bernie eviscerates small-town America, and a wild seam of black humour runs through it.

Family Structure
Add Regions/View Notes »
More Regions »
Measures of Family Structure on Kidsdata.org
On kidsdata.org, measures of family structure include: households with and without children under age 18; family structure for children, overall, and by race/ethnicity; and children in the care of grandparents. These data are estimates based on the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS). Depending on the indicator, data may be available for:
Family structure estimates are for children living in households and exclude those in group quarters (e.g., student dormitories). A "female-headed household" is a household maintained by a female with related children present. The female head of household typically is the children's mother but also may be their grandmother, aunt, older sibling, or another relative. The definition of "male-headed household" is comparable. The same-sex couple category combines both unmarried and married partners due to small sample sizes. "Other households" include youth living alone or with nonrelatives.
Why This Topic Is Important
Child well being is influenced by the family environment and the presence of caring, stable adults. Family structure and the nature of the family relationships, in particular, are important factors in child development (1, 2). For example, single-parent families are more likely than two-parent families to have lower incomes and experience financial hardship (3). Financial hardship can affect families' ability to provide the environment and experiences a child needs for optimal cognitive, emotional, and physical development (4, 5). In addition to adequate family income, positive child development is influenced by factors such as parental affection, responsiveness, and consistency, as well as high quality relationships between parents or significant adults (2). These factors are more critical than the family structure itself (6).
Over the past 30 years, the percentage of children living in households with two married parents has declined nationwide, while the percentage in families headed by a single parent or grandparents has increased (7, 8). Though it is not clear if the percentage of children living with same-sex partners has increased in recent decades (due to data limitations), research shows that children in these families are as well adjusted as children with heterosexual parents (2). Studies indicate that child development is not influenced by the gender or sexual orientation of parents.

Policy Implications
While the family provides the essential safety net for children, public policy can reinforce that safety net when families are less secure or stable. Research shows that single-parent households tend to be less financially secure or stable than those with two married parents (1). In California, about two-thirds of households with children are headed by married couples (2). Kinship caregivers, such as grandparents, often need information, financial and emotional support, and authority to nurture, feed, house, and educate the children in their care (3). California's non-traditional families also include same-sex couples with children. While research shows that these children do as well as children of heterosexual couples, they can face discrimination (4). According to research and subject experts, policy options that could promote child well being in homes with a single parent, kinship caregiver, or same-sex parents include:

How Children Are Faring
In 2011, more than one-third of California households (37%) included children, similar to previous years. Among counties with 20,000 residents or more, Imperial, Kings, and Tulare had the highest percentages of households with children (48%), and San Francisco had the lowest (19%) in 2009-11. About two-thirds (67%) of California children lived in households headed by married couples of the opposite sex in 2011; the remaining percentage lived in households headed by single women (19%), single men (5%), unmarried couples of the opposite sex (8%), and married or unmarried same-sex couples (0.3%). In addition, about 4% of California's children lived in the care of grandparents in 2011. Family structure varies by race/ethnicity. In 2007-11, an estimated 11% of Asian/Pacific Islander children in California lived in households headed by single women, while the same was true for about 50% of African American children.

The coach led the team to a Triad Conference title this season and went undefeated in the conference. The advanced to the state semi-finals, losing Friday to the Durham Flight.
Hill has been selected Coach of the Year twice for the Runnin' Patriots. The first time was during the 2007-08 season.

Coach Hill's overall record for the Surry Runnin' Patriots is 124-39.

The Pats' team has won the conference title our times under Hill's coaching and advanced to the state tournament four seasons with him at the helm.

| What religion am i ? And you
id be curious to know what type of religion people are on the boards, Im not sure what religion i am. i do not mean to offend anyone. these are my belieifs: when you pass over to the other side you will carry on living in spirit and enter a demention until you re - enter the world i beleive people who have passed over can visit earth ( real time zone ) ghosts i have witnessed this. Relgious Heaven and Hell does not exist, it cant. you hear of evil people commiting the most insane acts , but i beleive when they pass over they will see the error of their ways to correct them into better people when they reincarnate you hear of the religious tale of these people going to hell, but they must go to the same place as everyone else. inm ther afterlife there must be a higher being , just to keep some control. all the different religions out there ,there cannot be so many Religious gods controling the afterlife.......agree..?? there must only be one...who is he..?? Can someone tell me / the board, what acually happens when you pass over , when levels of development you go through before reincarnation. and what religion am i ..?? Daniel. x x x |

I'm not much into labels, but I think you are a new ager. Notice that this term is very heterogeneous. New age is not a religion by itself but a compendium of different philosophies. However there is a common denominator: a spirituality without confining dogmas, inclusive and pluralistic.

almost everything you see and read in the new age is all part of satanism.Alot of people dont look into it because they think its evil.EVERY religion is a ripp off satanism.Man kind's original religion is satanism.The hole objective of satanism is opening all the chakras and ascending the kundaini snake and become enlightened reaching the godhead.All the mantras in satanism are far more powerfull than the weak ones of buddist and hinduism. Anyone who wants to try real mantras that wont take you years of meditatins and make you go throught =weird diets try theses.They produce intense heat and is not recommended to do them before going to sleep.These are names of gods and they are very powerfull especially if you use them during a lucid dream or astral projection Root chakra LAM-----NINIB prononce niniiib Sacral chakra VAM----NERGAL prononced neeergaaaal Solar Plexus RAM----UDDU prononced uuuuddduuuuuu Heart YAM-----INANNA prononced inaaaanaa Throat HAM------NEBO niiiiibooooo Third EYE OM-----THOTH(Warning do not overuse dis one it produces quite a headache and you feel a strong pressure on the third eye) adjust your picth untill you feel a pressure aim for a c note Crown ----MARDUK prononced mardoooock another mantra which is very powerfull is ave satanas.DO YOUR RESEARCH ON SATANIM BEFORE GIVING NEGATIVE COMMENTS.THIS WEBSITE REALLY PENED MY EYES BUT I KNEW THEIR WAS SOMETHING MISSING ASTROLOGY AND SATANISM FILLED THAT GAP |

I have faith, but no religion. To be religious you have to follow what someone tells you to (minister, priests, gurus...). To me life is more spiritual without that. From what you wrote, my guess is that you are simply not part of any religion.

I have had a sudden urge to go to church recently after keeping god at arms length all my life but when you think about it, if Jesus was still alive he may have put posts on this forum, he fought against demons, he was a healer, he forsaw his own death through betrayl, in other words precognition, so all in all Jesus was spychic he even saw and spoke to angels.

Who is to say that Jesus is not a forum member . They may not know who they were in a past life . There have been sevral spritual leaders seprated in time by a few hundred years . desert rat p.s. to Hirukio514 that is more a form of yoga . Last edited by desertrat; 12-20-2011 at 03:41 PM. |

Break ins frustrate principal
By KATHY LEIGH BERKOWITZ
It's not the first time it's happened, but Lake Wales High School Principal Donna Dunson hopes it will be the last. Once again, the school's TV production room has been burglarized, though police are not sure yet if anything is missing this time.
According to Dunson, the last time the school was broken into, school cameras got a very clear shot of the perpetrators who stole school computers and other equipment.

The heat is (bah bah bah bah) on... May 20, 2009 Hey There Doc: How are ya? quick question. Had protected vaginal sex with a woman I had known for about 10 minutes in a 3rd world Caribbean Country. She provided the condom, which I assume had been in her purse. The next morning, I looked at the condom wrapper and the little box (it was like a 2 pack). It was not a brand I was familiar with, but was indeed latex. However, the box looked real beat up, as if it had been through the washing machine, or in a car or a wallet for a long time. Here is my question. I know we are warned not to use condoms that are kept in such condition. Is the reason for this that the safety of the condom will be compromised in ways which we can not detect (i.e, an unseen erosion of the latex which may allow HIV, etc. to pass through), or does it just make them more likely to physically break, which would obviously be drastic and detectable. My condom appeared to be intact, so do I need to worry that perhaps the condom had been compromised in some undetectable way? I don't think this question has been asked before, and I do understand that if she was HIV+, my odds of contracting it even if the condom did totally fail would only be around 1 in 1500 or something like that. Please let me know. The phrase the condom failed is rather vague. Thanks. Mike |
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hi Mike, Excessive heat (such as being in the glove box of your car, which is parked out in the Caribbean sun all day) can denature latex condoms making it more likely they'll rip and tear. It would not cause invisible increased permeability to HIV. In other words if your condom remained intact, there is no reason to worry despite its beat-up wrapper. By the way your own condoms are like your American Express card: You should never leave home without them! Dr. Bob | ||||||||||

Report: Obama headed to North Carolina after State of the Union
President Obama will head to Asheville, North Carolina next Wednesday, a day after his State of the Union address, a local ABC affiliate reported.
The television network said the president will likely only visit the liberal North Carolina town for part of the day, although did not have further details of his travel.
The president last visited Asheville in October, kicking off a three-day jobs tour with an event at the town's regional airport. In 2010, the president and first lady Michelle Obama took a three-day vacation in the town, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The White House has not yet released details regarding the president's travel schedule for the coming week.

The cost for homeowners would be about 0.5 mills or $50 per year for a family in a home with a market value of $200,000. The district needs this bond because the dedicated technology dollars from the 2004 bond are now exhausted. This new technology bond will largely replace and bring up to par the existing technology in our schools. In collaboration with leaders in our community, tech experts from Google, Microsoft and Menlo Innovations are helping the district to develop its plan for technology use in the next five to 10 years. Every school will receive upgrades, with such items as new laptops, mobile devices, printers and document cameras. Many of the district's computers are so out of date that they don't support current software. Also, the district's wireless and network infrastructures will be expanded so that wi-fi access in every building gives teachers and students faster and more powerful access to data. I hope you will read the attached flyer…and forward this e-mail to your friends.Investing in our kids really is investing in the future of our community.www.a2cmc.org. PTSO Request:Our current Huron PTSO Leadership Team is wonderful, but we are getting 'old' with our youngest children getting closer to graduation. We have several PTSO Board positions open for next year, and our final PTSO meeting of the year is on May 7. We need one Co-Treasurer, a Vice President, and one President or two Co-Presidents. Also, we need a Treasurer for the Graduation Party group. Please send names of parents/guardians that come to mind to serve our school community. Our nominating committee will be glad to contact them to see if they are willing to step into one of many roles available. Email firstname.lastname@example.com. We have an educated and generous parent population. Please help the PTSO to identify new leaders by nominating parents/guardians for the Huron PTSO Board, or contact me directly if you are willing to serve.Thanks and Go Rats!MMMichelle MachieleHuron PTSO President

CD/LP/Track Review
John Abercrombie: Wait Till You See Her (2009)
John Abercrombie = 3242, whose history with ECM stretches back to the early '70s, now releases his fourth CD with the same quartet of violinist Mark Feldman and drummer Joey Baron , newcomer Thomas Morgan replacing previous bassist Marc Johnson . Though there are rambunctious moments, Abercrombie chooses to open with "Sad Song," a somewhat misleading title. The playing is tender, thoughtful and melodically floating, speaking to an artist's confidence that one doesn't have to start a journey by proving how fast and loud they can play. The line between soloists is blurred; the melody moves between violin and guitar, producing a richer texture than the common soloist-with-rhythm-section arrangement. "Line-Up" starts with Baron implying a fast swing time, while Feldman and Abercrombie fragment the head. This leads to a brief unison statement, more fragmentation and then a deliberate guitar solo. As Abercrombie hands the reins to Feldman, Baron returns to the softer splintering of the beat while violin moves through the dynamic range from very soft to loud in a fraction of a second. Morgan's solo, accompanied by violin and guitar referencing the opening fragmented texture, leads back perfectly and seamlessly to the head.
"Out of Towner"a sly reference to Abercrombie's collaboration with fellow guitarist Ralph Towneris concise, a head over a 12/8 beat that leads to a magnificent solo by Feldman propelled by Afro/Cuban-tinged drumming. Feldman pulls in all his experience playing classical, country, klezmer and music-beyond-category to produce a statement rich in feeling and technical prowess. Abercrombie's solo is flowing, using a more sustained sound rather than the rhythmic attack of his jazzier leads.
Abercrombie composed all the music except the title track, written by Rodgers and Hart in the '40s. The lyrics from this love song provide a summation for the approach and results of Abercrombie's latest effort: "pensive and sweet and wise."
Track Listing: Sad Song; Line-Up; Wait Till You See Her; Trio; I've Overlooked Before; Anniversary Waltz; Out of Towner; Chic Of Araby.
Personnel: John Abercrombie: guitar; Mark Feldman: violin; Thomas Morgan: double-bass; Joey Baron: drums.
