Letting Go Of Your Past
Sometimes we spend a chunk of our lives looking back on what was. We are stuck remembering and holding onto something that is no more. We reflect on old issues, remembering things that have happened and moments that have passed. Why do we do this; why is it so important to us that it, in a way, consumes us? What benefit is there from spending so much time reflecting and remembering? Sometimes it seems like our mind wanders there on its own, without our consent. We could be busy, occupied with something else, and all of a sudden we are thinking of our past and once again drawn into a moment that is gone. Why do we do this? Because we haven't let go of what was, and because we do not fully understand it.
We hold onto moments that have affected us, moments that were hard for us or emotionally difficult, and we also hold onto what we don't understand. Think about it, how often do you spend time remembering the great moments, the moments where all went well and everything was great? Those memories are wonderful and they should be the ones to pop up so that we can feel good and be happy. But no, this is not what we do, for we understand those moments, nothing confuses us, and therefore they are rarely looked at. We look at the ones we don't understand because our mind is trying to figure them out. Why was it so hard, why did it hurt us so much, what could I have done differently? Why did I do what I did, or why did someone else do that to me? All these questions are being run through our memories because we are trying to understand and make sense of what happened to us. We may not get the answers, but we continue to try and we fixate on certain moments.
Do you ever find yourself reflecting on the same event over and over? One moment that was hard for you and emotionally trying? You are either trying to make sense of that moment or you haven't chosen to let it go. For if we understand it and we still replay it over, then we are choosing to be stuck with it. You can look at it in two ways, either you are choosing to hold onto something that no longer exists because you want to or because you don't understand it. There is one way to solve both of these problems. It is acceptance; it is that pure and that simple. If you want to be at peace with your past, accept it completely. Accept that you don't understand it and probably never will, and then be okay with that by accepting the idea that you cannot solve it.
By accepting our past, we in turn let it go; we can let go of the moments that hurt us and we still hold onto. By accepting that it did happen, we let it go. We try to avoid this kind of acceptance, we really do, that is why we spend so much time in our past. Acceptance holds a lot of power; it not only releases, but it sends us into a much more clear and open place, one without fear, worry, or hindrances of any kind. By accepting, we are not only setting ourselves free, but we are opening ourselves up. Think about all the space you could have in your mind and in your heart if it were not filled by those trying memories. Think about how much more peaceful you could feel without that one memory that keeps bugging you. By eliminating those trying and hurtful memories, we are allowing ourselves to move on and live life in the present. Accept and be free.

"A reason why we do not regard others as precious.
"A reason why we do not regard others as precious is that we pay great attention to their faults whilst ignoring their positive qualities.Unfortunately we have become very skilled in recognizing the faults of others, and we devote a great deal of mental energy to listing them, analyzing them, and even meditating on them!
And then spend time putting others down. With this critical attitude, if we disagree with our partner, Lover or colleagues about something, instead of trying to understand their point of view we repeatedly think of many reasons why we are right and they are wrong. By focusing exclusively on their faults and limitations we become angry and resentful, and rather than cherishing them we develop the wish to harm or discredit them.
In this way small disagreements can easily turn into conflicts that simmer for months and even years. We can communicate happiness, acceptance and compassion to others by not doing great acts of devotion and self-sacrifice (Which often lead to great resentment).
But by the simple absence of fault-finding and censure, by being ready to empathize with their notions and feelings, instead of forcing them to conform with ours. We can LISTEN quietly and seek to UNDERSTAND!" Try it today

2012 ~ The End of Past Failures
2012 represents a new beginning for some people. However, past failures can cause many people to lose focus on their goals. In fact, some people give up just when success is right around the corner. Society classifies a person as a loser by his or her financial success. According to Yankelovich Monitor, 80% of people identify success and accomplishment with being in control of life. Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich, understood the crippling effects of failure. In fact, he analyzed several thousand men and women (98 percent of this group was classified as "losers"). Napoleon noted: "There are millions of people who believe themselves 'doomed' to poverty and failure, because of some strange force over which they believe they have no control. They are the creators of their own 'misfortunes,' because of this negative belief, which is picked up by the subconscious mind, and translated into its physical equivalent." It is very easy for most people to point fingers at others for their failures.
Successful people use 2012 as new opportunities for success. If individuals want to achieve something different for the year, they must understand how to manage failure and take control of their own lives. Successful people make it a habit to concentrate their energies on things that they control while victims concentrate on their lack of power. When a person feels he is powerless, it causes him to be fearful. Doubt and worry contribute to these feelings. Fear exists in the absence of control. Brian Tracy, author of Advanced Selling Strategies, argues: "The key to a healthy mental attitude is a sense of control, a sense that you are the primary creative force in your life. It is a feeling that you are in control of what you do and everything that happens to you." Too many people focus on things beyond their control. In reality, you can control how you deal with a situation. Many so-called losers spend more time complaining about the things they can't control. The following suggestions are offered:
- Develop a clear sense of purpose.
- Practice positive affirmations about yourself.
- Learn from past failures.
- Analyse successful people's mistakes and learn how they cope with failure.
- Surround yourself with winners.
During these economic times, individuals must gain the tenacity to deal with the negative consequences of failure. So who hasn't failed? Helen Keller? Albert Einstein? Oprah Winfrey? Steve Jobs? Everyone has had some failures in his or her life. Successful people rebound from failure. The key is what you learn from your mistakes and your desire to bounce back from a bad situation. For example, Thomas Edison, a great inventor, said about his failure, "I hadn't failed, I've found 10,000 ways that don't work." Individuals don't need to become victims of own self-doubt because no one is destined for failure. In fact, you don't need to accept the status of "Loser" on your forehead. By taking actions today, individuals will start on a new journey toward success.

Responsibility and Blame
What is the difference between responsibility and blame? The most basic answer to that question is judgment; when you blame you judge. According to Merriam Webster, responsibility is defined as the quality or state of being responsible as a: moral, legal, or mental accountability. Blame, however, is defined by finding fault with someone or something. The most obvious difference when examining these definitions is judgment. If someone blames you for something, they have found fault with something that you have done or some decision that you made. If you are to blame then something you have said or done has caused an adverse or undesired outcome.
I, like millions of other people, grew up in a less than ideal environment. That environment hindered my growth and development during that time. That environment helped shape me into the person that I have become today. I could blame all my problems and bad decisions on my childhood. I could blame all of life's woes on my parents; convince myself, as well as others, they are terrible people or at least terrible parents. However, any such ascertain would not only be unrealistic, it would be a lie. The truth is my parents did the best they could with the information they had available to them at the time. My parents will always be my greatest teachers. My parents may have made some decisions I wish they wouldn't have, but to blame them takes away any personal responsibility. I used to blame all my hardships on my mother, especially, and I can assure you it never did me any good. My mother always says, "that was then and this is now" and she is right; choosing to forgive all involved and take responsibility for my part in the dysfunction helped significantly. I allowed myself to learn very valuable lessons and move on with my life and even become a better person. There is payoff in the pain; being the victim and blaming others only allows you to feel helpless, and feeling this way allows for you not to make the necessary changes that will improve your quality of life. I do realize that not everyone had a "bad" childhood but everyone has adversity that must be overcome at some point in his or her life.
Taking responsibility allows us to learn from our history and personal experiences, where as blame is just a judgment that keeps you stuck in your own personal emotional hell. Blame is a judgment that prevents us from learning from our experiences and moving on in a healthy way that is beneficial for all involved. The economy is not in chaos because of one person's greedy decision. Our way of life has not fundamentally changed because one powerful man or woman said it should. Our current dire circumstances are a direct result of everyone's decisions. We have corrupt politicians but they work for us and we elected them into office. We have created many of the problems that we are facing, and now is the time to take responsibility and shift into a new way of relating to each other, shifting into the next paradigm. Stop pointing your finger with blame because every time you do there are usually three more fingers pointing back at you. The big book tells addicts that they have "stinking thinking" and it is that thinking that got them into trouble in the first place. Shift from blame to responsibility and help yourself and the rest of us began the healing process together. Change your language and perception and you will see the world change right before your eyes.

The problem isn't that we have problems.
The problem isn't that we have problems. The problem is we've become weak. and we make most of the problems ourself. There's far too many people looking for "someone" or some "thing" to blame for their lot or stages in life. We've become a world consisting of a self-serving, hedonistic life-style that only breeds further contempt, shame, cynicism, and fear…HATERS, Look… Jealousy is simply the fear that you dont have value. You need to find self value. Love yourself or you wont believe that you are loved. Stop looking at others to judge and attack & look within yourself.
Dig deep find all that hate, jealousy & clear it out of your system. Use that energy to build your own personal & emotional security.Then you may be the one others envy & you can remember the pain you had & reach out to them. For what it's worth regardless what you may say or do to me I believe deep down you are good people. It's time to stand up and fight for those ideals and virtues that makes us who we really are, that makes us human, that gives us strength and faith; courage, honor, compassion, decency, kindness, sympathy, honesty, and LOVE, absent of fear, pride, anger, greed, and resentment. Say it loud, say it clear, "BE the change" point the finger at yourself for once i did it!, Instead change yourself for the better.
Wishing you all a sensual, warm, loving, joyful and restful NEW START… Make 2012 a new beginning for you. ~JW~

Would you describe what Molecular Mammographic Imaging is and what is its current status?
Would you describe what Molecular Mammographic Imaging is and what is its current status?
Answer by Chris Flowers, MD- Director of Breast Imaging and Research, is a radiologist at Moffitt Cancer Center affiliated with the Center for Women's Oncology and the Diagnostic Imaging Program.
A: Current mammography is the gold standard tool for breast imaging with a high sensitivity and specificity. However, mammography is imperfect, and the sensitivity can vary depending on both age of the patient and the density of the breast tissue. Our diagnosis up to now has relied on specific features on the X-ray to help us decide what is benign and what is malignant. Mammography has had a reasonable report so far, but could do better, may sum it up best.
We have described molecular mammography applied to the description of a simple technique we developed at the University of California, San Francisco, and is now the subject of a major grant between University of California - San Francisco, Chicago University and Moffitt Cancer Center. We believe that we can get much more information out of standard mammography than just anatomical information. By using a tiny dual energy exposure, without having to use contrast injections, we have been able to devise a way of looking at water, lipid and protein maps of the breast. What we have found from our phantom and pilot studies was that when these maps are combined, we get a unique signature from a benign lump (such as a fibroadenoma) compared with that from a cancer. If we are able to validate our work by further studies, then a mammography result will not just give information about appearances, but will also guide radiologists to whether it is likely to be benign or a malignant condition. One day this improved specificity may even allow us to avoid biopsy in women with definitively benign lesions.

Hello everyone,
I'm working on my VersaCamm that I've owned for 5 years since new. I do all the maintenance on it here. I spent today wrestling with my printer, trying to get magenta to print. And went through all my usual steps and still no magenta. It looked like there was ink at the print head but the magenta side of the head wasn't firing. (It was later that I read here to check for a cracked manifold, I believe mine is broken) I thought it needed a re-set , I then shut it down including the main power on the side. I was previously getting 3 of the 4 colors fully and now get almost nothing at all. It seems like it has lost its settings during the reset.. How can I get it back to at least where I was before the reset? Print test comes up completely blank, and I run my test graphic of CMYK blocks at full printer width and thats just thin sputtered grey lines. Thanks for reading, any and all help is greatly appreciated. -Vinny
Vinny - it sounds like you may have blown a fuse. On the old SP300v units it is on the motherboard and is soldered in. I would STRONGLY recommend getting a service tech out there to diagnose and correct the issue.
Vinny I would concur with Steve - when you turned off the printer the system picked up the fault and now prevented it from getting to where you were prior to turning off the main power. When folks get printer errors - many can correct themselves by turning off the printer. When that is done and the printer resets - it was not a major issue and Tech is/was not required - however when it does not reset, error remains or worse yet protects itself - then a tech is required. I see what you have above, can you further describe what you see. When you turn it on - what is your LCD reporting to you - will it allow you to measure the media and set-up as normal. Will it execute all the print commands, but when it goes to print then you just see the grey lines. Is it possible to post a picture of the results. Prior to turning off - magenta shares with yellow on an SP. Are you saying that the yellow was fine, what is/was the status of your captop. Did you check for air in the lines or a bad damper. The nipple on the manifold where the damper sits is very brittle and snaps easily - is it possible that is your failure point and where you were pulling air. With all that said - it would not cause your now end result. One produces print quality issues the other is an electrical problem.Your first set of symptoms could be corrected by machine cleaning, changing captop, or a syringe. Once you had the reset issue, that would need to be corrected prior to the print issue. The electrical issue would have knocked out both colors to that head.
Going back to yesterday I was trying to get Magenta printing, Here are the steps I went through:
-I swapped the cart as it looked almost empty.
-Tried pulling ink with a syringe from the bottom of the hose going to the capping station.
Did a full manual cleaning.
Replaced the Magenta Damper, pulled ink into the damper with the syringe.
-Tried pulling ink from the capping station hose with syringe, didn't get ink. Got some yellow.
-Removed Magenta damper, Used syringe and hose to put Roland cleaning fluid into manifold.
-Tried pulling ink from the capping station hose with syringe, didn't get ink. Got some yellow again.
While this is going on I'm doing full width test prints in between and getting full Black, Cyan and Yellow.
I the turned off the machine, and turned off the main power in an attempt to re-set the printer as I believed the head was'nt firing.
I went on MyVersaCamm.com to read other threads and learned about the delicate manifold on the head, I looked at mine and I have some magenta stains at the base of the damper connection, as if it had cracked.
Today I powered up the printer to make sure it goes through its normal routines,
I'm running it now to see if anything unusual happens:
1-power up fine.
2-LCD displays: setup sheet
3-heater light flashing on panel, normal
4-clamps down, cutter measures media, normal.
5-heater up to temperature.
6-run test print
7-test produces nothing on media, heads go the normal 2 passes but media is just blank.
8-tried to pull in with the syringe from below the capping stations, just pulling air.
8-I put a few drops of cleaning fluid in the capping stations while heads were doing test print.
9- tried to pull ink with the syringe from below the capping stations, this time I got some black to come down the line.
10-Ran a test print and yellow printed this time.
11-ran 2 more full width test prints and yellow is back 100% !
I am optimistic that its an ink issue and a cracked manifold. Here's a drawing of whats printing now.
Thanks again for helping me on this, Vinny
Realized I spelled Resulting wrong below LOL !!! , oh well
That is an excellent description and what I was looking for. Definitely sounds like and results show that you have a crack manifold. Once you mentioned changing damper - all my money went on the manifold. If folks do not know about how sensitive it is - they usually are going to crack it. Pulling the ink with a syringe from under the capping station is the right move - if you are doing it from the magenta/yellow line and all you have is yellow - then a leak on the magenta line or bad damper. Damper was changed so the air is probably coming from a hairline crack on the manifold - which you can change opposed to the entire head.
Do the same for the black/cyan side and see if you can get ink - if you do get ink and a test print reveals no color - then a blown fuse is likely on that side. As for carts looking or feeling empty - the display can show out for over a month and you still get great prints. The machine will stop when empty unless defective sensor. The machine reads ink from two sources - the chip and the tab. I will look for some other suggestions on the other line - but unfortunately the manifold is the main issue at this point. That will not be affecting the black and cyan.
Thanks Irving for taking the time to help. I'll get the needed parts ordered and work on getting Black/Cyan back up if possible. And we'll narrow it down to a whether its a blown fuse like you had said. The manifolds are original 5+ year old parts along with ink lines so its time to do a good overhaul. Very very grateful for your help, Vinny
No problem - when the parts come in just let me know and I will check further on my end for more fuse blown indicators. Welcome on the assistance, no problem.
Hi Irving, I got my parts in and have a question. I do not see in the service manual any mention of these manifolds listed as a separate service part. The closest reference is in the head replacement text. I see how to remove the head with the 3 small screws but its unclear if I can separate and re-mount the new manifolds. The screw/nut holding the manifolds seem to have been set with a cover of white sealant or silicone, as if to form a tamper proof seal from the factory. They seem (the manifolds) to be screwed on from the underside. Have you changed these yourself? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks Vinny
Vinny Just back from Texas - look in your email .
Thanks Irving, I will work on the repair this long weekend in between BBQ, my family and learning to do auto upholstery. Again, I really appreciate your help and feel confident I'll have my printer back up and running.
Best regards,
I worked on the VersaCamm today and replaced the parts I had ordered in, And I had success ! I I'm getting 4 colors again and still have to do some print alighment but I'm so glad to be back on line again. Many thanks to the forum and especially Irv for going the extra mile to get me back. What a relief ! Here's a pic, Thanks, Vinny
Vinny great job on getting back on line. Now stop wasting ink, and get to producing - lol. Sunday is not a rest day for the true Cammer. Happy future Camming, see you down the forum.
Don't worry Irv, I've got 44 signs ready to throw at her tomorrow to keep her busy ! Thanks again, Vinny

Radeon 9800 Pro resistors r137 and 138 missing...
I have my friends Radeon 9800 Pro graphic card which is missing two resistors becouse of unsuccesful cooler removal...
Does anyone have any idea about values for resistors R137 and R138? Those are near (too near?!?) of lower cooler heatsink clip on back side of card. Really small (0204 package) smd resistors. Even information am I really missing one or two resistors would be great. I'm not sure are both places polulated... So if you have similar (this one is made by Transcend but I think those are all the same...) please could you look about those resistors... even better if you have broken one and you could remove those and measure values... =) [edit] I found picture about that card and there are both R137 and 138 on in...[/edit] Last edited by jaripetteri; Aug 15, 2005 at 04:53 PM. |

I find information that value is 75 ohm for both R137 and R138 and also measured 75ohm from one I still had. Didn't find 75ohm but 68ohm resistors to fit and so far everything looks fine.

I love it here, sickk features!
I love going to mt high, it's close, not as crowded, great features. It's a must go!(:
Great snow, lifts didn't stop as much as the last time I was here. The last time I was here I was stuck not moving on the lift for 10-15 minutes. Not sure what happened and it was freezing that day too.
Yesterday was good, crowded due to the holiday but great powder and some icy patches as it got darker but that's expected.
Amazing weather and snow, wait times were minimal
always have a great time when snowboarding at mt high......
Had a blast last year with the family, Would love to come join the fun again..
I will be visiting Cali in December. I checked out their website found it very useful therefor I hope to win tickets so I can visit Mt. HIgh while visiting Cali for a work retreat.
Great Southern California resort. After skiing 47 resorts, Mtn High is my favorite in Southern Cal. Has so ok steeps on the East Mtn, good job with blowing snow and the crowd is usually pretty friendly. People seem to realize they are in Southern Cal, not like some resorts which want you to think you are at Vail or Aspen. Easy to get to and if you look for lines, you can have fun the entire day. See you on the slopes.
I love coming here because close and I always have a great time!
the only reason i go to mt high is because it is close to my house. i have been there 60 or so times in the last couple seasons. they have lots of snow machines and lots of park and lots of people. the weekends are not a time to go. unless you like to have long conversations in line. some days the lines will take 30 min or so. but there is one good thing about mt high. there is a east and west resort that is connected by tram. the east has little park and longer runs which means waaaaaay less people. great for the 5 powder days a year that they get.
I have alwayse though mthigh was a cool place to go boarding. Mainly because of the convent location. From where I live it takes a maximum of an hour and a half, no more. Mthigh wasn't the first place I snowboarded, but it is definitely where I learned. I go there every year, even though its not the "best" place for pow, mthigh does have its good days.
Love going to Mountain HIgh. Especially after big storms like the current ones. Good beginner areas and fun intermediate. Of course they have some advanced stuff for us, too... :-)
Go check it out.
love this resort and now it has excellent tubing for my nephews when they get tired of the other slopes. It only takes an hour or so to get there from OC and the choices of resorts is great for the whole family.
Went up 2/7 for afternoon boarding. Stayed on the East side until the competition crowd thinned out on the West side. Wasn't crowded at all on the East side, tons of powder, lots of moguls. Moved to the West side for the night session and it wasn't crowded there either. Visibility dropped hard around 6:00; didn't even wear goggles half the time. Sporadic snow flurries but nothing extreme. Couple feet of powder made it easy to pack trails and ride down where the lifts weren't operating. All in all, totally worth the $35.
I came up to Mt. High this past thursday with a couple of Swedish girls for a half day, one who've previously snowboarded the other a virgin on the snowboard. The virgin quickly adapted and within two runs on the "bunny slope" she was ready to hit the other trails. We all had a great day they even enjoyed the California man-made snow. We would've preferred more powder like what they have in Sweden, than the hard pack we had, but we all had tons of fun. Lines were a bit slow but kept moving. Perfect ending, enjoying a sunset in Balboa beach by a bonfire. Only in Cali.
Okay, close resort. not great snow, but worth the price
Recently went to Mountain High Friday December 13 and I was bored after an hour. They said there were 6 runs open but there really only 2. Too many people on only 2 runs that had little ground cover. If anyone is planning on going, DON'T at least until they are 60 to 75% open because you will be bombarded with kids waiting in line to hit a box or jib. Nothing challenging quite yet.
Went boarding yesterday and it was ill. Gonna get better with weather conditions this week.

County sheriff looking at cuts
October 2, 2008 · Updated 9:12 AM
The Valley's top deputy will host a town meeting on some tough decisions to made about a shrinking King County Sheriff's Budget.
Precinct Commander Major Jerrell Wills will discuss options at the meeting, planned for 6 p.m. Monday, June 23, at the Fall City Fire Station, located at 4301 334th Pl. S.E.
"It's critical that we work together," said King County Sheriff Sue Rahr. "We are all responsible for the safety of our communities."
The King County Executive has informed all county agencies that in 2009 there will be an estimated $68 million shortfall in funds for the criminal justice system.
The executive asked all criminal justice agencies, including the prosecutor, jail, courts and the sheriff's department, to take an "across-the-board" budget cut of 8.6 percent from their 2009 budgets. These cuts include a loss of 100 deputies.

The 10th anniversary of the terror attacks of Sept. 11 inevitably puts a spotlight on Islam and in particular on the growing Muslim community in the United States. That spotlight reveals both ongoing problems as well as significant progress, and ReligionLink provides a roundup of resources for covering these topics.
The decade since 9/11 witnessed an unprecedented level of engagement between the United States and the Muslim world abroad and the Muslim community at home.
This engagement consisted of flash points – such as a rise in hate crimes against Muslims after Sept. 11 and a rise in anti-American sentiment in the Muslim world following the U.S.-led war in Iraq – as well as signs of hope and dialogue.
The title of a Pew survey from August 2010 aptly summarizes the mood of the country: "Public Remains Conflicted Over Islam."
Here are a number of other developments, followed by a list of ReligionLink's many resources on Islam.
What's new
- The Pew Research Center has just released a wide-ranging survey of Muslim Americans that shows "no indication of increased alienation and anger among Muslim Americans" and "no evidence of rising support for Islamic extremism among Muslim Americans." In fact, the report, released Aug. 30, 2011, shows Muslims in the United States continue to reject extremism by much larger margins than Muslims in most other countries.
- A Gallup Poll published in August 2011 showed the views of members of different religious communities to the question of whether terrorist violence is ever justified. Nearly nine in 10 Muslim Americans said violent attacks on civilians are never justified, the highest level of disapproval among the groups surveyed.
- An article in the Aug. 29, 2011, edition of the Jesuit weekly America, titled "Muslims after 9/11: America's Muslims: Mainstream and middle class," also argued that Muslims are assimilating.
- The September/October edition of Sojourners magazine focuses on stories of constructive Christian-Muslim engagement.
- The popular uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa, the so-called "Arab Spring" that has endured through the summer, have for some in the West recast Muslims and Islamic societies as promoters of democracy and values that resonate with Americans.
- Periodic attacks and plots by radicalized Muslims, such as the 2009 Fort Hood shooting and follow-up plot in July 2011, and the failed Times Square bombing in May 2010, continue to dominate headlines and the public perception of Muslims.
- The growing effort in state legislatures to ban Islam's religious law code, known as shariah law, has raised concerns among Muslims and many civil and religious leaders, as did the fierce dispute over the so-called "Ground Zero mosque" — the Islamic center that had been proposed for Lower Manhattan.
ReligionLink resources
- Mapping Muslim assimilation: Islam's growing social infrastructure — Like Jews, Catholics and other immigrant groups before them, Muslims are building a social infrastructure in America that includes houses of worship, schools, health clinics, banks, charities and more. Muslims' social and religious needs are diverse — and that diversity is reflected in the network of mosques and related social services centers they are creating.
- Muslims and civil rights: A continuing debate – Obama's June 4, 2009, address to the Muslim world served as a fresh reminder of the tensions between civil rights and national security that have played out in the U.S. and abroad since 9/11. The president's speech was welcomed by the Muslim community, which remains deeply concerned about attacks against Muslims.
- Understanding Islam: From Sunnis to Shiites and beyond — Muslims tend to avoid terms like denominations or sects to describe the different streams of tradition. All Muslims are one, they note, and share the same basic beliefs and rituals. But there are different schools of thought within Islam, denoted by historical and legal differences — differences that can lead to serious divisions.
- Covering Islam and politics — Muslims' engagement with government and politics is becoming more prominent in the United States and abroad on issues ranging from immigration and terrorism to charities and civil rights. This guide lists research centers, organizations and scholars with expertise on the growing role of Muslims' interactions with government and politics.
- Covering Islam 101: The basics — Fifty-eight percent of Americans say they know little or nothing about Islam's practices. And what they know is sometimes wrong. Meanwhile, 32 percent of Americans say the media are the biggest influence on their perception of Muslims. This edition of ReligionLink is a journalist's guide to covering Muslims and Islam in America. It is a complement to a Religion Newswriters webinar presented on March 11, 2008.
- Islam: A guide to U.S. experts and organizations — This ReligionLink guide includes more than 100 experts who specialize in such areas as civil rights, politics, foreign affairs, art, culture, history, law, family issues and more. It also includes Muslim advocacy organizations, research centers and think tanks.

Jonathan Wolfe denied reports that Holmes has received primary physical custody of the couple's daughter Suri Cruise, plus any claims to reveal the finer details of the former couple's agreement.
"There are numerous inaccuracies in the reports regarding the purported contents of the agreement reached between the parties," Wolfe said in a statement to E! News.
"The agreement is confidential and its terms will not be disclosed."
A report in People earlier claimed that Cruise will receive "generous visitations" with his daughter as part of the divorce settlement.
Holmes filed for divorce from Cruise on June 29 after five years of marriage. They reached a setttlement earlier today (July 9), also making an appeal for privacy in a joint statement.

ROTC RETIREMENTfrom Eyewitness News Online Herbert Hoover Jr. Air Force ROTC Program Dissolved Reported by: Leslie Rubin Videographer: Leslie Rubin Web Producer: Leslie Rubin Reported: May. 11, 2012 10:43 PM EDT Updated: May. 11, 2012 11:00 PM EDT
, Kanawha County
, West Virginia
Saying goodbye to a program some say saved their lives and put them on the path to success. Friday marked an emotional end to the Air Force Junior ROTC program at Herbert Hoover High School. Their funding was cut earlier this year, leaving the Kanawha County school board what they called no option other than to dissolve the program. For 17 years, they've been known as the guardians of the flag at the school. Students, who leave leaders and more confident and ready to succeed in life. "I was really looking forward to staying here all four years," said freshman Matthew Shaffer. "It's one of the greatest classes I've out out here. I mean, nothing can compare to it. None of these classes out here teach you half the stuff this class does. I mean this class teaches you stuf you're going to use in real life," said senior Aaron Gross. Earlier this year, the group learned their funding had been cut off because they didn't meet a quota of students. "This program has helped me get on the right track. I'm leaving in September for the United States Air Force Basic Training," said Gross. "It's heartbreaking," said Master Sgt. Roger Hudson. For years, he's guided the cadets, instilling citizenship, promoting good deeds, and putting them on the path to success. He's afraid without the guidance of the program, some students will veer off course. "I think there's going to be a lot of kids that could get lost," he explained. On Friday, for the last time, the group retired their colors and honored themselves for the progress they've made. "It will make you feel so good when you see a kid succeed," said Hudson. "How they come out the other side when they graduate. How they've matured. The discipline they have grown, the confidence that has grown with them. It's just awesome. It's a very good program and it's a shame to see it go away," said Sgt. 1st Class Richard Lilly. The last chapter in a book that's taught many a life long lesson. Many of the students said they're not ready to leave Jr. ROTC behind, and are transferring schools to stay in the program. MORE NEWS FROM EYEWITNESS NEWS

Red Velvet Was A Big Hit! This was the perfect solution for me. I was able to provide a real treat for my son on his birthday. He's two time zones away from me and I wasn't able to bake his favorite cake for his birthday. The cake arrived exactly on his birthday as per my request. Paula Chizmar

So, so good! It is so hard to find a good quality red velvet cake. I found your product on line and decided to take a chance on it. It was superb! Such a moist, flavorful creation, perfect cream cheese frosting, not too much or too little or too sweet. Loved it. Even my nephew who does not particularly care for cake raved about it. This is a winner and I will definitely order again just to keep in the freezer. Jean Brown

Foxxi Sent Red Velvet Cake to friends in California. They are still raving about it a year later. This year Im sending to 2 families in NY and know they will love it. Not 5 stars only because I didn't get to taste it. But if NYers rave, next time it will be 5 stars. Lisa

Not a crumb left! I ordered this cake for my nephews birthday. It was my first purchase from Savannah's, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Everyone LOVED it! Even guests who aren't even that fond of red velvet cake repeated how delicious it was with every bite! I will buy more, and keep them in the freezer. It is even better than the cakes I get at my local bakeries! Don't hesitate to try this... You won't be sorry! |

One of the main aspects of learning how to control your anger is recognizing when you're getting angry, in the first place. Once you recognize that you are on the verge of blowing up, then you can choose how you want to react.
Most people don't get to this stage. Instead, they just react on their anger, or whatever caused it… which usually results in actions they later regret.

Former Yankee Phil Coke now in for the Tigers, and he gets Ichiro to fly out to center. Robinson Cano extends his hitless streak to 0-for-26. Lovely. He can't even get a hit off Coke, what's he going to do with Justin Verlander in Game 3? Awful. Mark Teixiera pops up to end the inning. It feels like they're just playing out the string until they board their flight to Detroit, though it looks like home plate umpire Rob Drake has had a horrible strike zone. I won't know for sure until I see the Pitch F/X Report after the game, but for now... yippie.
Cody Eppley works around a Jhonny Peralta single to pitch a scoreless ninth innings, so there's that. The Yankees will have one last chance to avoid falling behind 0-2 with the prospect of facing Verlander in Game 3. The Yankees haven't been swept in a playoff series in their last 36 attempts, but boy is it looking like a distinct possibility. Don't get me wrong, I'm not predicting this, just acknowledging it as a possibility. I think CC definitely is in good position to take Game 4, and even with the mismatch of Verlander vs. Hughes, you never know.
Either way, Coke is back on in the bottom of the ninth. He strikes out both Raul Ibanez and Russell Martin to begin the frame. Of course it comes down to Alex Rodriguez. Why wouldn't it? He defies the Stadium crowd's expectations by lining a base hit to right field, giving Curtis Granderson a chance now. If he can get on, then Swisher could tie the game up with a long one. However, he falls behind 1-2, even with some crazy lady hollering wildly in the stands. I can hear her on the radio. It's scary. More scary is the fact that Granderson strikes out swinging, ending the game.
The Yankees are shut out 3-0, and they now head to Detroit for Game 3 on Tuesday. They get to face defending AL MVP Verlander! Joy. Well, Phil Hughes outdueled him once earlier this year. Just hope he does it again and the Yankees can scratch out a run.
Matt F. will have a full recap up in a little while. Stay tuned.

### 444.111. Invocation of the Soul and Monadic Mantrum . Invocation of the Great Invocation 222. Short Version of the Great Invocation 333. Long Version of the Great Invocation 555. The Lord's Prayer 666. Prayer of St. Francis' 777. Traditional Rosary 888. A New Age Rosary 999. The Affirmation of the Disciple ### Written by Dr Joshua David Stone, Posted in Ascension Classes {taken from 'How to Open and Close Each Class Session' http://iamuniversity.org/how-to-open-and-close-each-class-session/} Invocation of the Soul and Monadic Mantrum The soul mantrum was brought forth to the Earth through the channelings of Alice Bailey of the Ascended Master Djwhal Khul. In my personal opinion it is one of the most profound mantrums on the entire planet and should be recited every time spiritual work of some kind is about to be ignited. The original soul mantrum goes as follows: I am the Soul, I am the Light Divine, I am Love, I am Will, I am Fixed Design. x3 Since most of you, my beloved readers, have already passed your fourth initiation it is appropriate to change the Soul mantrum to the Monadic mantrum which is the updated version. It is the same as the Soul mantrum but instead of saying, "I am the Soul," you say, "I am the Monad." I am the Monad, I am the Light Divine, I am Love, I am Will, I am Fixed Design. x3 Actually I recommend that you say both of them. First the Soul mantrum and then the Monadic mantrum. The saying of these mantrums will ignite your Higher Self and Mighty I Am Presence (Monad) into action. "Try it, you'll like it!" Invocation of the Great InvocationThe next step of the class is to have printed out in advance copies of the Great Invocation which is a prayer that was brought forth by Lord Maitreya, the Planetary Christ, around 1945 or 1950. It is one of the most powerful prayers that has ever been given forth to light workers and the New Group of World Servers. I am first going to give it to you in the short version, and then I am going to give you the longer version. I recommend doing the short version for most of your classes, however on special holidays or Holy days I recommend doing the longer version. Short Version of the Great InvocationFrom the point of Light within the Mind of God Let Light stream forth into the minds of men. Let Light descend on Earth. From the point of Love within the Heart of God Let Love stream forth into the hearts of men. May Christ return to Earth. From the center where the Will of God is known Let purpose guide the little wills of men - The purpose which the Masters know and serve. From the center which we call the race of men Let the Plan of Love and Light work out And may it seal the door where evil dwells. Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth. What I would recommend is that you either photocopy this page or type it up on your computer and have this available with the Soul and Monadic mantrum and possibly some other prayers that I am going to suggest in the coming pages. Long Version of the Great Invocation Let the Forces of Light bring illumination to mankind Let the Spirit of Peace be spread abroad May men of goodwill everywhere meet in a spirit of cooperation May forgiveness on the part of all men be the keynote at this time Let power attend the efforts of the Great Ones So let it be, and help us to do our part. Let the Lords of Liberation issue forth Let Them bring succor to the sons of men Let the Rider from the Secret Place come forth, And coming, save Come forth, O Mighty One. Let the souls of men awaken to the Light, And may they stand with massed intent Let the fiat of the Lord go forth The end of woe has come! Come forth, O Mighty One The hour of service of the Saving Force has now arrived Let it be spread abroad, O Mighty One. Let Light and Love and Power and Death Fulfill the purpose of the Coming One The will to save is here The love to carry forth the work is widely spread abroad The active aid of all who know the truth is also here Come forth, O Mighty One and blend these three. Construct a great defending wall The rule of evil now must end. From the point of Light within the Mind of God Let Light stream forth into the minds of men. Let Light descend on Earth. From the point of Love within the Heart of God Let Love stream forth into the hearts of men. May Christ return to Earth. From the center where the Will of God is known Let purpose guide the little wills of men - The purpose which the Masters know and serve. From the center which we call the race of men Let the Plan of Love and Light work out. And may it seal the door where evil dwells. Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth. The Lord's Prayer Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory, for ever. Amen. Prayer of St. Francis LORD, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. DIVINE MASTER, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Traditional Rosary In the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. I Believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, to sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed by Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy! Our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our signs, mourning, and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus; O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. O God, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, Grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these mysteries in the most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain, and obtain what they promise; through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. A New Age Rosary First make the sign of the cross five times, honoring our Lord's five wounds. Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us who see refuge in thee. Holy Mother, save us through your Immaculate Heart's Flame of Love. At the end, hold the cross and say three times: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Close the rosary by saying: Mother of God, send down your grace through your Immaculate Heart's Flame of Love to the whole human race, now and at the hour of our death. Eternal Father-Mother God, I offer you the Body and Blood the Soul and Divinity of your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and the sins of the whole world. For the sake of his most sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and the whole world. Holy God, Holy Omnipotent One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. This Rosary is from Earlyne Chaney's A Book of Prophecy. The Affirmation of the DiscipleI am a point of light within a greater light I am a strand of loving energy within the stream of love divine. I am a point of sacrificial fire, focused within the fiery will of God and thus I stand. I am a way by which men may achieve. I am a source of strength enabling them to stand. I am a beam of light, shining upon their way, and thus I stand. And standing thus, revolve and treat this way, the ways of men, And know the ways of God. And thus I stand. I strive toward understanding. Let wisdom take the place of knowledge in my life. I strive towards cooperation. Let the master of my life, the soul, and likewise the one I seek to serve, throw light through me on others. In the center of the Will of God I stand. Naught shall deflect my will from His. I implement that will by love. I turn towards the field of service. I, the triangle divine, work out that will within the square, and serve my fellow men. I am a messenger of Light. I am a pilgrim on the way of Love. I do not walk alone, but know myself as one with all great souls, and one with them in service. Their strength is mine. This strength I claim. My strength is theirs and this I freely give. A soul, I walk on earth, I represent the One. I am one with my group of brothers, and all that I have is theirs. May the love which is in my soul pour forth to them. May the strength which is in me lift and aid them. May the thoughts which my soul creates reach and encourage them. I know the law, and towards the goal I strive. Naught shall arrest my progress on the way. Each tiny life within my form responds. My soul has sounded forth that call, and clearer day by day it sounds. The glamour holds me not. The path of light streams clear ahead. My plea goes forth to reach the hearts of men. I seek, I try to serve your need. Give me your hand and tread the path with me. The sons of men are one and I am one with them. I seek to love not hate. I seek to serve and not exact due service. I seek to heal not hurt. Let Pain bring due reward of light and love. Let the soul control the outer form and life, and all events, and bring to light the love which underlies the happenings of the time. Let vision come and insight. Let the future stand revealed. Let inner union demonstrate and outer cleavages be gone. Let love prevail. Let all men love. We know, oh Lord, of life and love, about the need. Touch our hearts anew with love, that we too may love and give. This affirmation is from Alice Bailey's Ponder On This §§§ I Am The True Vine Niv Sefatayim |

Defendants who controlled and operated Screen Test U.S.A. -- a bogus model and talent operation doing business from Connecticut to Florida -- have been permanently banned from marketing and selling their purported "screen test services" as part of a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission. In May 1999, the Commission filed a complaint in federal court in Newark, New Jersey alleging that Screen Test U.S.A. misrepresented that it evaluated the suitability of children to become models or actors. The FTC alleged that Screen Test U.S.A. misled consumers into believing that their chances of being selected by well-known talent agencies were enhanced by buying the defendants' program. The scam was spearheaded by Screen Test U.S.A.'s founder Fred Vanore , of Wayne, New Jersey and carried out by separately incorporated branches in New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New York and Florida. The settlements announced today also contain a $972,000 judgment against all defendants. The FTC also amended its complaint to name four additional defendants.
According to the FTC, the defendants marketed and sold $45 "screen tests" primarily to parents of infants and young children. The defendants promised agency representation for those children who "passed" the screen test. In fact, the FTC alleged, the defendants used the screen test as a deceptive ploy to sell expensive, unnecessary packages of photos costing hundreds of dollars.
To add credibility to their activities, Screen Test U.S.A. encouraged parents to check them out by contacting the American Child Actor and Modeling Association (ACAMA), a so-called "leading independent, nonprofit organization formed to protect consumers from unethical business practices." In fact, ACAMA was nothing more than a sham corporation created by Fred Vanore to further the deceptive Screen Test U.S.A. scheme, the FTC charged. The FTC also alleged that the defendants violated the FTC's Cooling-Off Rule by refusing to give refunds to consumers who bought the program at hotels where the defendants sold the program in Massachussetts, Maryland and other states.
The FTC's complaint named Screen Test U.S.A., Inc., Fred Vanore and American Child Actor and Modeling Association, Inc., based in Wayne, New Jersey; Premier Marketing Inc. and Alice McManus, based in Kenilworth, New Jersey; R. J. Ims Corporation and Richard J. Ims, Jr., based in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania; Premier Marketing Inc., Show Biz Central of Westchester, Inc. and John Yannielli, based in Cheshire, Connecticut; and Tomorrow's Stars, Inc., Edward J. Bauer and Helen J. Bauer, based in Boca Raton, Florida. The amended complaint also named Angela Ims (Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania), Jeffrey C. McManus and JCM Marketing, Inc., (Miami, Florida) and Thomas J. Yannielli (New York, New York).
In six separate settlements entered by the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on January 21, 2000, the defendants are banned from, among other things:
The settlements also prohibit the defendants from misrepresenting:
In addition, the defendants are prohibited from violating the Cooling-Off Rule and from distributing or selling their customer lists or identification information. The settlements contain a total judgment of $972,000 which represents all existing assets of the corporate defendants and a portion of individual defendants' assets. The settlements also contain various recordkeeping provisions to assist the FTC in monitoring the defendants' compliance.
The Commission received invaluable assistance from the Attorneys General for the States of Florida, New Jersey and Pennsylvania; the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection and the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs.
The Commission vote to authorize staff to file the settlements in the U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey, was 5-0. The matter was handled by the FTC's East Central Region.
NOTE: These stipulated final judgments and orders are for settlement purposes only and do not constitute an admission by the defendants of a law violation. Consent judgments have the force of law when signed by the judge.
Copies of the news release and documents associated with this matter are available from the FTC's web site at http://www.ftc.gov and also from the FTC's Consumer Response Center, Room 130, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580; 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TDD for the hearing impaired 1-866-653-4261. To find out the latest news as it is announced, call the FTC NewsPhone recording at 202-326-2710.

Top 10 Things You Can Do to Help Protect Endangered Species from Oil Spill Impacts
1. Volunteer at your local National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). With up to 31 NWR impacted in the oil spill impacted area, federal funds will be stretched tight, and most refuges will now need volunteer assistance more than ever. To request more information about volunteering please call 1-866-448-5816.
2. Donate to the Endangered Species Coalition. Your contribution will be used to help make sure that future generations of endangered species are not harmed by oil again.
3. Take action onlilne. Ask President Obama to permanently ban new offshore drilling.
4. Educate friends and family members about the spill and what they can do to help wildlife by following ESC on Facebook and Twitter and becoming a conservation activist joining our Activist Network.
5. Slow down when traveling our waterways and oceans. Whales and manatees contending with oil slicks won't be able to handle the extra impacts of boat collisions and harassment. Additional stresses will make them less likely to thrive and reproduce.
6. Clean waterways near your home, by participating or initiating neighborhood clean-up days. Many watersheds around the country flow into the oceans. Species that are already dealing with oil particles may be to weak to overcome any additional impacts. Making our waterways and oceans as clean as possible can help ease the burden on wildlife.
7. Reduce toxins. Minimize use of herbicides and pesticides, which make their way to waterways, harming wildlife. Dispose of toxics such as chemicals and paints safely, so they don't end up in waterways.
8. Reduce your consumption of energy. Turn off lights and appliances when not in use. Use power strips to switch off multiple electronic devices at once. When buying new appliances and electronic devices, be sure to look for the highest Energy Star ratings. By not consuming energy, we reduce the demand for fossil fuels. When renovating a home or building a new home, maker sure to maximize its energy efficiency with insulation, proper siting and other means.
9. Ride the subway, a bike or carpool to work. If everyone did this even once per week, it would make a significant difference in our country's consumption of gasoline.
10. Drive a hybrid, electric or fuel efficient car. Fuel efficiency of 30 MPG should be a minimum.

Mike Rann set out to entice Lance Armstrong to Adelaide for Tour Down Under
- From: Sunday Mail (SA)
- October 20, 2012
SUCH was the adulation of former premier Mike Rann for Lance Armstrong that he offered to name prime Adelaide locations in his honour, to entice the cyclist here for the Tour Down Under, it has emerged.
A wing of the new city hospital, a cancer centre at the Lyell McEwin or Flinders hospitals, a bikeway and a global cancer summit - either named after Armstrong or his foundation Livestrong - were among ideas pitched to Armstrong by the former premier.
The first in a series of secret letters from Mr Rann to Armstrong starting in September 2008, and seen by the Sunday Mail, praises Armstrong for his work with cancer and congratulates him on his imminent return to cycling to promote cancer awareness.
It goes on to say "I sincerely hope that this return to cycling will include the Tour Down Under in South Australia in January. Your presence would be an inspiration to all Australians, especially those suffering (from) cancer and their families".
The letter then outlines some of the efforts to combat cancer in Australia, and notes a new hospital will be named after Olympic champion Marjorie Jackson-Nelson for her efforts in raising money for leukaemia research.
"We would like to name a hospital oncology wing after you and announce that during the Tour Down Under," wrote Mr Rann, who within a few months was nicknamed "Ranny" by Armstrong. The cyclist subsequently made his comeback to professional riding at the 2009 Tour Down Under.
In January 2009, while Armstrong was training in Adelaide, Mr Rann again wrote to him saying: "There are a number of facilities that could be considered for naming and would be grateful for your thoughts on the right choice. The two most likely alternatives are `The Lance Armstrong Cancer Centre', Lyell McEwin Hospital, or `Lance Armstrong Cancer Research Centre', BUPA Centre for Innovation in Cancer, Flinders Medical Centre."
The letter also included a handwritten postscript by Mr Rann, who describes a recent visit to the Sevenhill winery, in the Clare Valley, how it was established by the Jesuits and has a "crypt below a lovely church", and that "Sevenhill asked me to give this bottle to you when I told them you like cabernet and cabernet blends".
In January 2009, the Sunday Mail reported on the close bond between the pair. "We get on very well; we've got a similar sense of humour, I think," Mr Rann said. "The thing I like about Lance is that he's incredibly smart, incredibly generous with his time."
The naming proposals eventually resulted in the Flinders Centre for Innovation in Cancer adopting the name of Armstrong's foundation, Livestrong. The FMC Foundation's website says: "This alignment was struck between two charitable bodies that seek only to raise funds for cancer research and cancer prevention."
In January 2011, Mr Rann wrote to Livestrong president Doug Ulman saying a new bike path through the parklands would be named the Livestrong Bikeway: "As you know, I attended your Livestrong Global Cancer Summit in Dublin. I would like to suggest that perhaps a similar and larger Livestrong summit be held in Adelaide to commemorate and coincide with the opening of the Livestrong Cancer Research Centre.
"The State Government would be proud to host and be a major sponsor of such a summit. I understand that the new centre should be completed by the end of 2011 so a summit in early 2012, during our summer months, would seem ideal." The summit did not go ahead, and debate now continues on the merits of Armstrong's work in raising funds for cancer measured against his alleged drug taking.

You wanna piece of me?! Well now you can have one! Six of my original full color 5x7 sketch cards are up on eBay.
I've been having a blast lately creating these sketch cards.
Also I'm totally stoked at the idea of giving them a good home in the hands and heart of someone who loves 'em! If you've been in the neighborhood lately then you've seen Batman and The Punisher. But I've been a very busy boy and there's more!
Here's a look at all six sketches that can be yours!
Felicia Hardy A.K.A. The Black Cat (from Spiderman). Even with a supermodel wife at home, Spidey gets to hang around this gal all day. I'm tellin' you - Peter Parker's got it made.
Psylocke (of the X-Men). My most embarrassing high school crush. It's astounding that I was able to get a girlfriend in the middle of that!
White Queen (of the X-Men). Hey, if you can accept muscle bound guys flying through the air with superpowers then you can accept this little cutie running around in her undies kickin' butt!
Spidey. A nerd gets superpowers and scores a smokin' hot girlfriend. Stan Lee got the formula right with this one. Sucked me right in!
Good ol' brooding Batsy. Just once I'd like to see his reaction to a fart joke.
Dark, gritty, brooding, ultra violent, wearing tights and we still believe it. Only in a comic book!
So heroes, if you like something you see then lace up your boots, pull on your spandex, fasten your cape, jump on eBay and go duke it out for justice (or at least a decent little sketch)!
