Eritreans did not have much helo when they organized themselves to be a potent force in the continent, we have to give them credit when its due. They are no more than 5 million, and when they began organizing they were merely 2.5 million people, and gave a lasting migrane to a 30 million nation at the time, and today they are the envy of a 70 million nation. There is something we lack they have in abundance, and hating them for it is wrong, they did share that something with Tigryans and built TPLF, and now they are building TPDM. Instead of getting ourselves ready and willing to accept their leadership, we keep on questioning them. One of our popular singer went to Eritrea and kissed the leaders hand, to only come back to the US to denounce the movement made in his name. He was expecting a ready made army with guns and tanks, he was so distraught with lack of enthusiasm with his countrymen he came to deny their existence. Elias blames the Eritreans? Sometimes I wonder what this Elias character stands for. Learn from the best and try to be better than the teacher, that's how karate moves are passed on, the students are deeply committed to follow instructions, even when the instruction does not seem related to Karate.
EPLF and TPLF were supported by China, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Sudan... should I continue? Ethiopian opposition group currently have no foreign supporter. As I have said so many times, I do not blame the opposition's weakness on any one but the opposition groups themselves, but support from even one foreign country would have helped a lot. One thing I'm 100% sure about is that with or without any one's support we will kick out Woyanne and take back our country.
This is exactly what the world is waiting to hear from Ethiopians, for non-Ethiopian entities to extend their hand and help Ethiopians to remove Woyane, the world needs to see that Ethiopians are serious about the struggle, and are willing to sacrifice. There are some serious organizations like TPDM and ONLF that are serious and committed to defeating Woyane, unfortunately, these two organizations don't represent the majority of Ethiopians. Organizations that claim to represent the majority of Ethiopians need to show the same kind of commitment as TPDM and ONLF. Despite the fact that these two organizations don't represent the majority of Ethiopians, they receive support from their own people and non-Ethiopian entities. This is because their seriousness to fight, sacrifice and win is not questionable.
Elias the question you need to ask yourself is. Are your personal, and your organization's commitments to fight, sacrifice and win unquestionable ?

0Re: Things you hate because they're pointless and stupid -.-
Debating with melon heads who think that either of the following questions are deep, paradoxical, mysterious, unanswerable, et al. - believing they'll shut me up because they're losing the main argument so. damn. badly.
1) What came first: The chicken or the egg?
2) If a tree falls in a forest and nothing is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
To be fair, I tend to hear one or both of these from people within my own age group or older. Most younger peeps know the answers to these relatively basic science questions by the time they're in middle school* so not everybody around me is a mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging idiot... just most of them.
*Possibly not applicable to Louisianians. It seems their answer to the "chicken and egg" question is "Loch Ness Monster."

I Step on toes and throw rocks in response to those questions, while screaming "was you foot or mine on the way there first?" and "Is it real! " at them.
Time is all I got. You want to waste it on useless questions, just because you can't see the real world. I'm going to remind you what it is and why I think so.

0Re: Things you hate because they're pointless and stupid -.-
No. They're mockingly presented as 'show-stoppers'* for lack of a better term. Not very sporting IMO but to be fair, I'm not amongst the world's great thinkers and neither are my 'opponents', so it's an annoying - but forgivable - transgression.
* Which fail miserably in that role, but that's beside the point.
I prefer to calmly answer the questions and then steer back to the main topic (or excuse myself from the conversation if my challenger insists on wasting my time with disingenuous digressions).
These are face-to-face debates about worthwhile topics. Sure, I could ban them from my presence or something equally banal, but that's the equivalent of stomping your foot, putting your fingers in your ears and screeching, "NYAH, NYAH, I CAN'T HEEEEAR YOU!" If your goal is to win minds or learn or understand other points of view, that's not a very good tactic.

If he chickens out whats the cost?
The Medal Cost what again?
I'm with "General MacArthur" on handing out awards if not on taking them.
MOH Coming up I bet .
"MacArthur was a shameless meglomaniac, so I guess he needed all those awards to feed his ego. After FDR ordered him out of the Philippines (which I think was a good decision for the morale of the USA), MacArthur expected General Wainwright to go down fighting. When Wainwright surrendered at Corregidor, MacArthur expressed the opinion that he should have been courtmartialled for capitulating to the Japanese. From what I've read, around 1938 FDR sent MacArthur to the Philippines to assess the defensive capability of the islands. MacArthur reported that the Philippines were indefensible, and was retained in the islands as a presidential advisor.
IIRC, President Teddy Roosevelt rescinded many of the MOH that were awarded during the Civil War and Indian Wars. It was indeed the only medal awarded during that era, and there were many cases in which it was awarded frivolously. For example, it was awarded to Union soldiers that reenlisted in order to participate in upcoming battles. The sole MOH awarded to a woman (a Civil War doctor) was the result of political conniving by her state governor (Ohio). She was so incompetent as a MD that the Army reassigned her to a women's mental asylum in Nashville as the chief administrator.....and she screwed that up too. Teddy Roosevelt yanked her MOH, and Jimmy Carter restored her MOH in the late 1970s as a favor to the women's lib movement.
The MOH was abused in the VN War. In his book Soldier, Col Anthony Herbert talks about some cases that he had seen while serving with the IG in VN in the late 1960s. One case had to do with a sergeant who threw himself on a grenade, but found the time to retrieve it and throw it a safe distance away. His unit was not under enemy fire when this happened, and the suspicion was that the guy contrived the episode to get out of VN. He did in fact receive the MOH due to public relations."

Imaginaerum – Official Trailer
Free PR Web Directory
Self-confessed terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed made his first court appearance since 2008 last Friday, May 4.
Along with four alleged co-conspirators (Ramzi bin al-Shibh, Walid bin Attash, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, and Mustafa al Hawsawi), he arrived in the courtroom at the Guantanamo US naval base for an arraignment. All five are set to be tried for their roles in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, as they are being charged with 2,976 individual counts of murder and may receive the death penalty. Specifically, their accusations involve "planning, organizing, and financing" the terrorist attacks.
Taking out their earphones for the Arabic translation, all five men chose to maintain a non-cooperative stance when addressed; they remained silent even when the judge questioned them whether they "accepted their defense team." Their team includes military lawyers and civilian attorneys who are experts in death penalty cases.
Mohammed's civilian lawyer David Nevin said, "The reason that he is not putting the earphones on is because of the torture that was inflicted upon him." Particularly, according to a US federal report, Mohammed was interrogated 183 times through use of waterboarding, a controversial practice that simulates drowning.
However, military judge Col James Pohl made it clear that the hearing would proceed despite the lack of cooperation from the defendants.
After nine hours, the lawyers of the five men announced that their clients decided to defer their pleas, which subsequently permits them to take their legal obligations to the tribunal. The defense team further suggested that a trial date be set at least a year later.
The procession of events deeply contrasted with Mohammed's December 2008 court appearance when he "tried to confess and plead guilty and declared his desire to be a martyr", further celebrating his culpability for the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Among those watching the hearing were five family members of victims that attended the arraignment and others that watched from four northeast US military bases through video-stream.
Maureen Basnicki, 61, whose husband Ken died in the attacks, commented, "Part of me was trying to get a sense of justice and to understand why these men were so full of hate that they would slaughter so many innocent civilians, though I always doubted those questions would be answered for me."

The Last Champions - Leeds United and the Year that Football Changed Forever
by Dave Simpson
eBook, Published by Random House UK (10 May 2012)
Sorry, this book is not available in this region.
When the Leeds United players celebrated winning the championship in April 1992, they could not have had an inkling of how momentous the occasion was. Manchester United, losers at Liverpool that sunny Sunday afternoon, had now gone 25 years without winning the league. Howard Wilkinson's side, promoted just two seasons ago, could bring back the glory days to Leeds. But Wilkinson would prove to be the last English manager to win the league. In 1992, football changed beyond all recognition.
Twenty years on, The Last Champions looks back at the roots of that success and the amazing cast of characters who came together to fashion the triumph. As in his acclaimed book The Fallen, Dave Simpson's quest to catch up with the protagonists of the era, from the visionary Sergeant Wilko, top scorer Lee Chapman and unsung heroes like Mike Whitlow and Carl Shutt (not forgetting Eric Cantona, of course), sees him unearth some extraordinary untold stories.
And he finds that The Last Champions were also the last ordinary people to win the league, before the Premier League saw skyrocketing wages, billionaire foreign owners and the dictates of television taking the game away from the fans. It is the brilliantly told story of the end of an era.
Dave Simpson is a Guardian journalist who writes mainly on music. His first book, The Fallen, was a monumental quest to track down everyone who had ever played in Mark E Smith's legendary band. He is now applying those same forensic and possibly certifiable skills to his football team, Leeds United.
Living in Yorkshire, he has supported Leeds since the early 1970s, man and boy, which has brought about a small amount of pleasure and a great amount of pain. He also wrote for the LeedsLeedsLeeds magazine which documented United's rise and mostly fall from 1998 to 2011.

In 2012, approximately 28,000 Americans received a life-saving organ transplant and more than one million Americans received a life-changing tissue transplant. When just one individual makes the decision to donate, they can change the lives of more than 50 others.
And while more than 95 percent of American adults approve of donation as a viable, life-giving practice, only 55 percent of Ohioans are registered donors. Change that statistic – register to be an eye, organ or tissue donor now.
Every day 18 men, women, and children die while waiting for an organ transplant. And every 10 minutes another person is added to the national waiting list for organ donation.
As of 04/22/2013- 118,075 TOTAL PATIENTS WAITING*
* Some patients are waiting for more than one organ; therefore, the total number of patients is less than the sum of patients waiting for each organ.
Number of Donors, 2012
8,145 Deceased
6,010 Living
* Based on data from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as of March 6, 2013– data subject to change due to future submissions or corrections.

Fiscal Treaty: ICTU meeting to decide on yes or no vote
25/04/2012 - 07:17:03ICTU will today decide whether to recommend a yes or a no vote in the Fiscal Treaty referendum on May 31.
The executive will meet to discuss the issue. There has been speculation that Congress may leave it up to individual unions to direct their membership.
Three trade unions - Mandate, Unite and the TEEU - have already said they are advocating a no vote in the ballot.
A lobby will be held outside today's ICTU meeting by the United Left Alliance, which wants Congress to reject the fiscal compact treaty.
Siptu shop steward and ULA member Kieran Allen said: "The leader of Siptu Jack O'Connor has said that this treaty (would be) very damaging for workers...We should be campaigning against this treaty and opposing it completely."

FOX6 Web Fix: Spectacular car crash caught on camera
ROSELLE PARK, NJ — Police in Roselle Park, New Jersey released video on Friday of a spectacular crash caught on camera.
It shows a man who is now charged with driving under the influence of alcohol running a red light — and slamming into another car.
The suspect's car actually got tossed around in the air before coming to a rest.
The accident took place in June. But the video was released now to raise awareness of the dangers of running a red light.

About American Friends of IHR |

American Friends of the IHR |
ANNUAL APPEAL to benefit the Institute of Historical Research |
From the Membership Secretary
From the President of the AFIHR |
President's Report to the MembershipJuly 2012Sears McGee
I regret that this newsletter is now a month later than usual, but I wanted to be able to report to you from London about how the IHR is coping with its temporary location in the south block of the Senate House while the refurbishment proceeds just to the north. Last week I spent an afternoon tracking down information for my current book project, and I'm pleased to report that the library continues to work well. The British Library is, of course, indispensable, but the availability of basic printed sources, reference materials, periodicals and monographs on the open shelves at the IHR makes one's work much more efficient for so many purposes. I attended a packed seminar of the Tudor-Stuart seminar last week, so that side of the operation appears to be thriving as well. The plans for the "new" IHR that is scheduled to open in 2013 are exciting and can be seen on the IHR website (see current and future status at IHR Relocation site). You will be pleased to know that the tearoom will be back in its customary space alongside new meeting and teaching rooms, more space for academic and research staff, and many improvements for the library. And if you have not yet had a look at "The History Spot" (History SPOT - Seminar Podcasts and Online Training)for its podcasts of many of the seminars and lectures at the IHR, you have a treat awaiting you. I am delighted to announce that, thanks to Professor Miles Taylor, the IHR's director, and his staff, we are now able to offer a new benefit that will be helpful for many members of the AFIHR. It was a worrying development when the Royal Historical Society's Bibliography of British and Irish History became a proprietary service under the aegis of Brepols Publishing not long ago. Many college and university libraries have been unable to afford institutional subscriptions to BBIH since then, and annual subscriptions for individuals are now pegged at $171. Beginning January 1, 2013, however, AFIHR members can have annual subscriptions for $55, a savings of approximately two-thirds. If you wish to take advantage of this opportunity, please note that subscriptions are for the calendar year that begins January 1 and that the IHR needs to provide Brepols a list of AFIHR members who have opted to buy the subscription by mid-November. If you know of anyone who might find this extraordinary resource useful, please pass along this newsletter (or direct them to our online contribution form (just fill in, print, and mail with the appropriate check). Whether or not you wish to take advantage of reduced-cost subscription to the special content of British History Online and/or the BBIH, please join us or renew your membership in order to help support the increasingly varied and important work that the IHR does. In addition to enhancing the collections and improvement of the library, your tax-deductible contribution supports bursaries to help North American graduate students attend the annual History Lab Conference which is held at the IHR, the process of digitizing essential reference materials to extend the usefulness of British History Online, and much else.Please renew your membership in the AFIHR so we can continue to support the work of the IHR from this side of the Atlantic. More information is available elsewhere on this website. A contribution $45 or more annually to the American Friends of the IHR ($30 for graduate students) confers membership in the Institute and facilitates the creation or updating of a personal "swipe" card at the reception desk. All officers and board members of the AFIHR serve without compensation. Administrative costs are minimal, consisting of mailing expenses, occasional technical services, and accounting fees. Therefore nearly every dollar contributed is forwarded to the Institute in order to help pay for some aspect of its work. Checks are to be sent to Professor Paul Hammer (above), so that he can keep our membership list up to date. Thank you for your continued support. Sincerely yours, |

Airplay Cafe – SOLD OUT…again!
Hello Friends,
On 3/28/2009, we had our second, sell-out performance at the Airplay. Thank you to all of our fans who bought tickets in advance. We're so happy that all of you could make it to the gig. If you did not get tickets in advance, you may have been turned away at the door, and we are sorry. We plan on moving the next show to a bigger venue.
Here is our idea…we are thinking about renting out the Mississippi Ballroom (north of the Mississippi Pizza Pub) for a HUGE, indoor picnic with your family. This will be similar to an outdoor concert at Kruger's Farm in the summer, except we'll all be indoors.
Your family will pay an affordable cover charge, come into the giant space of the Ballroom and setup a blanket. Each family will be encouraged to bring a cooler with food and drinks. This is going to be a big, indoor, family-oriented party!!! This is true Portland-style!
Although we're all about making music, I believe these events are just as important to building strong communities and getting parents to interact and be social with each other. The Toy Trains are more than happy to be the catalyst that makes it all happen.
We'll be posting more information on this future show soon. We're thinking it will be some time in late April. Hope to see you then!

Studies in Jaina History And Culture Disputes and dialogues
Author:Flügel, Peter
Edition: 1
Pub Date: 2006
Publisher: Routledge
Summary: The last ten years have seen interest in Jainism increasing, with this previously little-known Indian religion assuming a significant place in religious studies. Studies in Jaina History and Culture breaks new ground by investigating the doctrinal differences and debates amongst the Jains rather than presenting Jainism as a seamless whole whose doctrinal core has remained virtually unchanged throughout its long histo...ry. The focus of the book is the discourse concerning orthodoxy and heresy in the Jaina tradition, the question of omniscience and Jaina logic, role models for women and female identity, Jaina schools and sects, religious property, law and ethics. The internal diversity of the Jaina tradition and Jain techniques of living with diversity are explored from an interdisciplinary point of view by fifteen leading scholars in Jaina studies. The contributors focus on the principal social units of the tradition: the schools, movements, sects and orders, rather than Jain religious culture in abstract. Peter Flügel provides a representative snapshot of the current state of Jaina studies that will interest students and academics involved in the study of religion or South Asian cultures. [read more]

I believe that all of the JVC LCOS sets (at least those under 70") are rated at 210 watts.
lookin11 wrote:The TV at Overstock.com is NOT the same model. The difference is that the one on Overstock.com does not have the digital tuner. Also the overstock.com one is a refurb (rox0rz!). It's ot a new one like the one at WOOT. Two big differences. These were mentioned earlier in the day on these pages. One other note about resolution. 720p has more lines of resolution per second than 1080i because 1080i only sends half of the screen data on each pass, so you get 1080 lines in two sweeps but you actually get 1440 lines in 720p. People have been discussing which is better for 5 years, but in practice, it's virtually impossible to tell them apart and some TV networks transmit in 720p while others use 1080i, so no matter what your set's naitive resolution is, the set will have to adapt to the specific data being sent. We may see a difference when 1080p takes hold in a few years, though I'm not expecting to feel too compelled to run out and dump my 1080i TV because of it. This may or may not be the best deal around, but it looks like a good TV and includes the ability to directly decode digital CATV broadcasts which is a nice bonus for a very fair price.
The JVC 1080P (note, ***P***) sets have been out since early this year. Model numbers xxFN97 and xxFH97 (xx is the screen size, 56, 61 or 70) (the FH model has a few extra features for $200 more; I'm told that there is also an el cheapo FC model with a few less features). The 56FN97 has been available at Best Buy for $1,895 several times (considered a "sale" price; it's "regular" price is currently $2,395).

Since it's a completely different piece of hardware, it isn't relevant. It's worth noting this prominent comment on that page: "HI,I HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEMS WITH SONY AND OTHER MAKES".

Wrong timezone, bozo. The new product doesn't go up for another 31 minutes.
Overstock has it for $1349.99 with free shipping.

I thought they were selling them for $149
What about a 360 core system for $100 like on amazon a few weeks ago... i'd take that for christmas too, and would keep me from rationalizing the 1080p ive been eyeing for the past 8 months
So many clowns.

And a cheaper model. Gee, I wonder if that has anything to do with why it's cheaper. Not that it's relevant, since this deal ends in 5 minutes.
Cute Meerkat.

Sightseeing tours in British Columbia combine natural landscapes with diverse attractions and outdoor activities.
Take a guided sightseeing tour for a comprehensive experience with opportunities to relax, meet other travelers, and gain local insight. Choose from a wide range of tours and travel by floatplane, helicopter, bus, train, horse-drawn carriage or foot.
There are also endless opportunities for self-guided sightseeing tours – leisurely explore lively neighbourhoods with storied pasts, restaurants and shops; travel well-marked driving routes; or follow maps and brochures on community heritage walking tours.

Northern British Columbia: Flightseeing tours over remote fishing and Aboriginal communities, plus an iconic rail and boat journey.
Vancouver Coast & Mountains: Circle Farm Tours and aerial views of Fraser Valley farmland.
Vancouver Island: Bus tours to ancient forests and boat tours up a rugged coastline.
Cariboo Chilcotin Coast: Flightseeing tours over vast icefields and boat tours to look for the Kermode (Spirit) bear.
Thompson Okanagan: Scenic tours on a paddlewheeler or restored steam train.
Kootenay Rockies: Helicopter tours over some of Canada's highest mountains, along with driving routes through small mountain towns.
Vancouver: City skylines and mountain vistas from floatplanes, hop-on/hop-off buses and ferries that visit attractions, and walking tours of historic neighbourhoods.
Victoria: Hop-on, hop-off buses and ferries that connect attractions, gardens and historic buildings.
Whistler: Tours of the Olympic venues and trips by all-terrain vehicle, plus sightseeing from the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola.
Take a cross-province rail journey with VIA Rail or Rocky Mountaineer to discover scenery punctuated with communities, mountains, old settlements, waterfalls and wildlife. Choose "sightseeing class" for panoramic views from open-air or dome cars.
Enjoy unparalleled views on a flightseeing tour. Lift off from the water on a floatplane to fly over remote logging camps and Aboriginal communities in Northern BC, or ascend to some of Canada's highest peaks on a Kootenay Rockies helicopter tour. In Vancouver and Victoria, take off from bustling inner harbours amid city skyline.
Prefer a quiet ride? Hop in a glider and enjoy peaceful silence and views of glaciers, patchwork farmland or coastal rainforest. Flightseeing companies offer set itineraries and custom tours, plus drop-offs for heli-hiking, fly-in fishing and more.
Small hop-on, hop-off harbour ferries in Vancouver and Victoria connect to attractions, parks and neighbourhoods, and are great for both sightseeing and transportation. For more remote sightseeing tours by boat, take a multi-day cruise along stretches of coastline or opt for a day trip in warmer waters with wildlife viewing, wineries, tidal rapids, waterfalls and more.
Narrated bus tours do all the work so visitors can relax and enjoy the views. Find Vancouver and Victoria day charters that head to top attractions, in addition to hop-on, hop-off buses that allow for quick (and personalized) exploration and transportation.
Take a guided or self-guided walking tour to stroll through neighbourhoods filled with tempting shops and restaurants, or hear fascinating stories in smaller communities on historical walking routes (some accompanied by audio tapes and informative materials).
BC's outdoor activities also make great adventure sightseeing: go off-road in an ATV, take a dune buggy into the backcountry or admire mountain views from a heated snowcat. Prefer a more serene tour? There are horse-drawn carriage and pedicab (bicycle-powered carriage) tours too.
Follow well-marked British Columbia driving routes or learn about options for sightseeing trip ideas. As part of the journey, see regional highlights, popular attractions and heritage sites.
Driving routes include multi-day drives such as the historical Alaska Highway, soothing Hot Springs Circle Route, or gold-rush-inspired Coast Cariboo Circle Route, along with shorter loops and day trips to wineries, farms and more.

Coming into Monday's game against the Padres, the Pirates have a record of 67-54 and a 1-game lead over the Giants for the second Wild Card slot in the National League playoffs. Assuming the Braves can hang on to the number one slot, the Pirates' chief competitors are the Giants and Cardinals, but the team that might play the biggest role in the Pirates' playoff chances is… the Milwaukee Brewers?
The Pirates have 41 games remaining in their season, broken down as follows:
3 with the Padres (53-70)
3 with the Cardinals (65-56)
3 with the Braves to wrap up the season (70-51)
4 with the Mets (57-64)
6 with the Reds (74-48)
6 with the Astros (39-83)
7 with the Cubs (47-73)
9 with the Brewers (54-66)
Those games with the Astros and Cubs are certainly tempting, and the Mets and Padres look good too, but the Pirates have proven this season that it's tough to predict what they'll do on any given day. Luckily for the Pirates, six of the nine games remaining with the Brewers are in PNC Park. The Bucs have a 3-3 record against the Brewers in 2012, but they were 3-12 against them in 2011 and 5-13 against them in 2010, so there are better teams to hold the Pirates' fate in their hands.
The Pirates have already exorcised their 19-inning demon with Sunday's win over the Cardinals. If they're able to vanquish their Brewers demons, they'll also go a long way towards ending their playoff drought.

Easy. The way you use your vehicle determines which class of tire you will need. For example if the bulk of your driving is related to commuting, an All Season tire is all you need.
Consider how and where you drive your vehicle and select your tire options from the Pep Boy's categories below:
All-SeasonSummer-Only & Max Performance
Summer-Only & Max Performance tires are specifically designed for high-performance driving. Tire compound, tread design and speed ratings all combine to deliver better road- holding and power transfer. Be aware that the compound and tread design of Summer tires make them less than ideal for winter road conditions.

Bedrooms: 4
The Courtyard at Swettenham Hall is an unique collection of just eight country properties in an unrivalled rural setting with magnificent open views over lightly wooded countryside and the Dane Valley. The Stables was built in 1998 by Egerton Estates Ltd and accessed at the end of a private half mile driveway and through the wonderful parkland setting that is The Swettenham Hall Estate. The Courtyard comprises managed landscaped grounds and extensive paddocks with menage extending to approximately 7.5 acres which residents have the exclusive use of. In addition a double garage, brick built store and two allocated parking spaces with visitor spaces available. From the doorstep there are beautiful country walks to be enjoyed down onto the Dane Valley along with coarse fishing rights along the River Dane itself.
Located within some of Cheshire's most beautiful countryside in an idyllic rural situation, The Courtyard is very secluded but not isolated. Swettenham Village is about half a mile distant with many attractive period properties, a 13th Century Church and a very highly regarded local hostelry, The Swettenham Arms, well known for its good food. For the commuter, access to the nearby towns of Holmes Chapel (about 5 miles), Knutsford and Alderley Edge are about 11 miles distant and the M6 motorway is easily accessed at Holmes Chapel, junction 18. Manchester International Airport is about 17 miles away. Excellent Independant and State Primary and Secondary Schools are all easily reached at the aforementioned towns making the location not just idyllic but practical and convenient. Intercity train links available at Crewe and Macclesfield.
From Knutsford take the A537 Chelford Road for about five miles turning right at the roundabout signed Holmes Chapel. After about three miles bear left after the car dealership onto Longshoot Lane turning left at its end onto the B5392, turn first right at Withington Green, signed for Swettenham and follow this lane to its end turning left towards Swettenham Village and down the valley and up the other side passing the turning on your right for Swettenham Village itself. The driveway to Swettenhall Hall and the courtyard will then soon be seen on your right.

What's so special about it? Well, I felt a turning point was reached. Could have been yesterday, maybe today. As if that "July 4 celebration in the US" date really hit home for many. No matter where in the world you were.
So we are celebrating today. My favorite special breakfast treat here at the Java is above… The papaya nest. And that's just right for today, the "nest", as there are many birds which "nest" here, waiting to enjoy what people share with them. Like that granola on top of the yoghurt.
And as I have repeated before, I am NOT compensated in any way by the Java on the Rocks for any photo I put here. My "compensation" comes from the "Joy of the Ocean and sand under foot" energy here.
As I write this, I sense many of you are here with me, looking out (perhaps in appreciation awe) at the gentle waves that are coming in right now.
Personally, I'm feeling a freedom from a kind of "responsibility" of "holding" the Energy of the Pacific. That is why I've been here for several years. Others around the planet have been "holding" energy spaces for certain other locations, e.g., the Rockies (M, P, et al), South America (M, L, F, et al), Ireland (Monty, Veronica, GiddyupLike), Europe, Japan/China/Asia, and so on and on. Many many many are "unknown", working behind the outer scenes.
We are in some new phase now. The 7-7-12 brings a grand opening of a new store. The "Liberty Store" we might call it. Where the Liberty many of us have learned to feel within, no matter what was going on in the outer, is manifesting on the Planet As A Whole.
And once that Liberty is felt on the Planet As A Whole, and manifested, then we can (finally) join-rejoin our Galactic Family.
Enjoy this special day.
