Channeling - scientific rationale and guide
(at time of posting this the thread is not entirely done but it's a good deal in. It will be complete by April 17th if not sooner.)
Enjoy! And I wish you the best of luck in channeling.
Feel free to post questions here and I'll address them as I'm able.

I've tried channeling 3 times now. I am not able to get any info that I feel is clear, however, I feel a lot of light and a compassionate essence. I have tried to find more info on this but haven't so I'll ask you. After I've come out of a light trance where I feel this essence, I feel strong tingling all over my body. It's a very intense electric-feeling, I guess. It lasts for awhile too. Is this a normal side-effect?
Thanks for the ATS thread. I found it really helpful and informative. I have been practicing the ball and number-breathing exercises.
Looking forward to your next blog posting!

the electric tingling is a very common side effect =)ReplyDelete
good job.
In the beginning it's extremely hard to tell the difference between imagination and actual channeled information. I've found it can't be verified by the "source" either because if it's imagination you will imagine the right response. It is a very subtle feeling that just takes time to recognize. Keep trying and glad to hear you're trying the excersises!

It seems risky! I read the whole thing.... It also seems kind of "outthere"... Like I cant imagine doing it... Do you think with enough practice I could do it?ReplyDelete
- Jay BlandApril 17, 2011 at 8:25 PM
Hi L.ReplyDelete
Channeling is not for everyone, in my opinion. I say only try for it if you feel led to. You may want to ask yourself how or why you came across the guide or this site - there may be a reason other than learning to channel? or it may be TO channel? good to ask the question though.
The mental exercises in the guide can help most anyone. If you feel like it do those for a while and see how you feel.

Recently I've been having this odd confusion between my physical eyes and the 3rd eye. It feels like I should be naturally walking around with my eyes closed. Also, I've been seeing these large blue spots, just like I've looked into a flashlight. It's discomforting but not painful. Really I'm more concerned that I'm going to start bumping into walls!ReplyDelete
Any idea what this is - do you have any advice on how to deal with this? It seems somehow related to your excellent description of channeling.
- Jay BlandApril 18, 2011 at 8:19 AM
Hi dreamwalker,ReplyDelete
I recall having a short period of time experiencing blue spots and a confusion (of vision) like you mention. For me it only lasted a few days and I took a break from channeling and meditative visualization for a bit.
One thing that can happen with a lot of people is they create pressure on their physical eyeballs by squinting or creating too much energy flow there. There can be minor pain, a little bluriness, "seeing spots", headache. If you're getting anything like those or what you are having, some of these may help:
* put your palms over your eyes and leave your eyes open. This is especially good if you are a Reiki practitioner or know how to use energy flow in a healing manner.
* make sure your neck and head are in a good position and relaxed, rub your neck and throat, rub your face, third eye, and massage your scalp. this will help balance the energy.
* think about making your channeling attempts/sessions shorter for a few days.
For the record: I'm not a doctor and these are just things that have worked for me so I'm passing them on for you to try at your own discretion.
~ Jay
Thank you Jay I will try these things. I have Reiki II, and am what some would consider to be an Indigo. I think it started about the time that I started working on active visualization of a piece of paper, while doing other things. The paper is handy because you can do all kinds of things with it, and it's simple enough that it can be used for centering. Now it feels like I'm trying to instinctively look at a piece of paper that isn't there - the brain seems to want to believe that the paper really exists!ReplyDelete
As you suggest I'll try and lay off it for a few days and see if things get better. I somehow doubt that a physician could help with this.
Many thanks!

'Carter': A Red Dwarf of a Martian Adventure
Despite megabudget, Pixar whiz Stanton falls to Earth; Israeli 'Footnote' explains and entrances
"John Carter" delivers one of its precious few delights shortly after the hero, a Civil War veteran from Virginia, finds himself teleported to Mars. (Actually he's been telegraphed, as he was in the widely beloved novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs.) Because of the planet's lower gravity, John is able to traverse its arid surface in mighty leaps and bounds. Yet his excitement, like ours, is short-lived, for the movie's pervasive problem is too much gravity, not too little. A deadly heaviness brings Disney's would-be epic down.
That is not only saddening but mysterious. The director, Andrew Stanton, has given immeasurable pleasure to this planet's audiences through a series of Pixar features he either directed ("WALL•E," "Finding Nemo)," co-directed ("A Bug's Life") or co-wrote (those three plus "Monsters, Inc." and the "Toy Story" trilogy.) All of them were animated, to be sure, while "John Carter" is live-action, at least in part—the majority of the Martian creatures, sweeping vistas and elaborate battles were born of bits and bytes. Still, it seemed reasonable to believe that Mr. Stanton's gifts in one filmmaking mode would transfer smoothly to another, just as Disney's executives must have hoped that he would favor their studio with his Midas touch. (Another animation luminary, Brad Bird, recently directed the new "Mission Impossible" with great success, though he had a lively script and, in Tom Cruise, a certified star.)
Soon after "John Carter" starting shooting, though, the production was beset by poisonous buzz from pop-culture ghouls who take pleasure in predicting disaster. They noted the swelling budget, which had reached a quarter-billion dollars or more, and a marketing decision that changed the original title, "John Carter of Mars"—four words charged with genuine resonance—to two words with all the fizz of a low-rent fashion label.
This time, alas, the ghouls were pretty much right. The best to be said of the weirdly inert spectacle is that the vistas are attractive, in a muted way (yes, Mars is red and Mars is dry, but prettier colors wouldn't have constituted a crime against astronomy); the flying machines strike a nice balance between giant dragonflies and the paintings of Bruce McCall; and the battles are impressive, in a routine way, though it makes no sense that the hero's gift for jumping should give him the power to fight his way through vast throngs of bloodthirsty adversaries.
Those Martians, who are green and obviously alien—they're four-armed savages called Tharks—look like refugees from "Avatar" minus the Na'vis' sexiness, grace and clarity of purpose. The Tharks' battles with one another, and with warring clans of humanoid Martians from the cities of Helium and Zodanga, are tedious interludes—four-armed is forewarned—in a narrative that's merely confusing at first, when you're still interested in who's doing what to whom, but eventually disjointed to the point of incoherence. (I chose to see the film in a 2-D version, though it's also being shown in retrofitted 3-D.)
John Carter himself is less an advertisement for earthly passion than a constant reminder of how desperately the production needed a star in a title role; the buff and handsome Taylor Kitsch gives a flat performance of snoozifying earnestness. Fugitive feelings do surface during quiet moments between John and the beautiful Heliumite princess Dejah Thoris, with whom he falls in love, and then joins forces to save her dying planet. (She's played, attractively and nearly convincingly, by Lynn Collins.) Most of the time though, neither the two leads nor a supporting cast that includes Mark Strong and Dominic West seem to be having any fun. It's as if "John Carter" were a fire pit with plenty of kindling and logs, but no one could find a match.
So what's the source of this baffling failure? Does it lie in the size of the budget? Not likely: Pixar's peerless entertainments have hardly come cheap. Or the difference between live action and the computer process that Pixar pioneered, then raised to the level of dramatic art? That's surely part of it—an animation director inexperienced at getting the best, or avoiding the worst, from the indifferent cast he's been given to work with.
But it doesn't explain the emotional disconnections in the production or in the script, which Mr. Stanton wrote with Mark Andrews, a Pixar stalwart, and Michael Chabon, whose novel, "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay," just about defined the glories of American comic strips. Not only is there a lack of chemistry between John Carter and his Martian princess, but between Carter and Woola, the lumpy, unfunny creature who eagerly follows him wherever he goes; this in a movie directed by the man who created exquisite love scenes between a life-detector robot and a garbage compactor. Nor does it address—to move away from Mr. Stanton, the field marshal of a small army—the deficits of production design and computer imagery, or explain why the score by the usually brilliant Michael Giacchino should be so undistinguished, to put it mildly.
If I wanted to hazard a guess—nothing but a guess based on what's up there on the screen—I'd say that corporate culture was a significant culprit. Pixar, the matrix of the filmmaker's prior triumphs, has been notable for its stable management, and for a collegial atmosphere in which warm support combines with brutally honest exchanges of ideas. In recent years Disney, the show-business behemoth that now owns Pixar, has been riven by managerial upheavals, and has never been accused of collegiality. This new Disney film, marked by myriad lapses and marketing follies, bears the woefully familiar earmarks of a big studio production that was pulled and hauled every which way until it lost all shape and flavor.
That's not to say pure art fell victim to vile commerce—only that "John Carter" looks like it went through an unearthly version of the internecine warfare on Mars.
The subtext of "Footnote" is savagery—not that of Martian Tharks but of rival Talmudic scholars in Israel's Hebrew University. The text, not so simply, is text—the Talmud in its manifold historical versions. Joseph Cedar's wise and playful comedy of intellectual manners, in subtitled Hebrew, could be called "Almost All in the Family," since it focuses on a rivalry between father and son. Eliezer Shkolnik, played with wonderfully grave demeanor by Shlomo Bar Aba, is a senior lecturer with a reputation for meticulous research, but the fruits of his lifelong labors are bitter; instead of receiving the Israel Prize, his nation's top honor for scholarship, he has become a mere footnote in other scholars' books. Uriel Shkolnik (Lior Ashkenazi), Eliezer's middle-aging son, may be a glib popularizer by comparison to his pop, but he doesn't lack for the adulation that Eliezer craves. Instead of a chip off the old block, he's the most proximate reason for a permanent chip on the old man's shoulder.
All of this might have been no more than the basis of a rich character study, but the writer-director, Mr. Cedar, has devised an intricate, ironic plot that's set in motion by a thunderclap call to Eliezer's cellphone: The Israel Prize has finally come his way. I won't reveal any of the delicious complications that ensue, or discuss the slightly surreal climax, but one of the best scenes, intensely serious yet delicately flavored with Marx Brothers lunacy, involves a hurriedly arranged convocation of six men and one nervous woman in a Ministry of Education office big enough for three. And "Footnote" does function as a character study, an exceptionally rich one. The more we learn about Eliezer, who walks with a forbidding forward tilt and dispenses approval to no one, the more we understand Uriel's anxious need for acclaim. A mere footnote the father may be, but he's written a life script for the son.
'Friends With Kids'
A decade ago Jennifer Westfeldt starred in a fine independent feature, "Kissing Jessica Stein," which she wrote with Heather Juergensen. It was a dating-game comedy with a twist. Lovelorn Jessica, turned off by the dreary men she meets, replies impulsively to a personals ad in the women-seeking-women section. Her decision leads to a lesbian affair that's as charming as it is complicated. Now Ms. Westfeldt has written and directed a straight comedy with herself in another starring role. Once again there's a twist, but no charm at all.
She plays Julie, whose biological clock has developed a stentorian tick. Instead of marrying, Julie enters into a pact with a lifelong friend, Jason (Adam Scott). They'll have a baby, then share custody while continuing to date other people. It's the perfect solution, the anticouple agrees, to procreating while still preserving romance in their respective lives. Why they would want to have a baby is another question, given the horrors that child-raising brings to the lives of their married friends—domestic quarrels, endless encumbrance and, soon enough in the case of their own kid, serial attacks of explosive diarrhea.
It's not a pretty picture in any sense. "Friends With Kids" wants to be a broad satire of American mores. (The equipment required for a parents-and-child expedition to a local park is roughly equivalent to what climbers carry forth from base camp on Mount Everest.) But it's shrill in tone, awash in unexamined narcissism—kids are just pretexts for laughs, rather than objects of love—and afflicted by explosive verbal diarrhea. There's simply no base line of normal human activity, let alone intimacy, until the anticouple finally re-examines their anticommitment credo. By then everyone has been so selfish and dislikable that our commitment to the film is lost. The cast includes Kristen Wiig, Chris O'Dowd, Maya Rudolph, Jon Hamm and Megan Fox, whose character, though marginal, manages to outshallow everyone else.
DVD Focus
'The War of the Worlds' (1953)
Mars invades Earth in this sci-fi classic, based on an H.G. Wells novel, which George Pal produced in 1953. (The film won an Oscar for special effects.) Watching the march of the Martian machines across our country, you're taken in not by the dazzling reality of the visual tricks but by their resourcefulness and charming artificiality. In our digital age, when anything is possible, movie magic can be daunting or assaultive. Half a century ago, special effects were invitations to willing wonderment. That said, Steven Spielberg's 2005 remake, with Tom Cruise and fancier effects, is enjoyable too.
'Wonder Boys' (2000)
Michael Chabon wrote the novel that Steve Kloves adapted for Curtis Hanson to direct. Michael Douglas is Grady Tripp, once a wonder boy but now a pothead teacher of creative writing. Tobey Maguire is James Leer, Grady's best student. He is also an extravagantly gifted liar, if not a budding lunatic. The movie, set in Pittsburgh, starts as a screwball comedy about the professor's travails, and his student's knack for making them worse. Sneakily, though, and ever so adroitly, the film invests Grady's absurdity with humanity and his thwarted hopes with possibilities, while tracking his roundabout journey to true love.
'Bridesmaids' (2011)
Two of the three leading women in "Friends With Kids"—Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph—starred in last year's comedy hit, but I'm bringing up the film again because Chris O'Dowd, in an inspired piece of casting, was in it too. He's the man behind the radar gun, an Irish cop named Rhodes who speaks with gentle humor and unforced wisdom, whether he's citing Ms. Wiig's forlorn maid of honor, Annie, for dysfunctional taillights, or confronting her, to her confusion and dismay, with indisputable evidence of her competence.

Hey guess what! You no longer need to go Melaka for Satay Celup because there is a new 1 at Damansara Utama! Courtesy to Henry, I am invited for the food review on Royal Satay Celup.
A little story from one of the Rpyal Satay Celup owner, Simone that the reason she opened satay celup is because she and her husband both love to eat satay celup. Isn't it romantic when you manage to achieve your same dream with your love one together? :)
* Feeding the camera before own tummy *
Nevertheless, here are the foods served at Royal Satay Celup. It is RM0.80/stick where the price is comparable with Melaka satay celup. At the moment not muchc hoices but Simone promised they will work on it and introduces more variety in future.
For me, soup sauce or whatever you call that to celup (dip) the satay is very important. The sauce for Royal Satay Celup is not too thick yet too spicy. It just nice enough and suitable for everyone including kids. Their own recipe for the sauce is really good enough to compare with Melaka Satay Celup standard.
* Simone the owner of the shop serving us *
Personally, I love it very much. Fresh ingredient and awesome sauce is what I satisfied. I highly recommended this shop for any satay celup fans. Safe your petrol and hassle to melaka to eat it. Oh and also queuing time.

LiteFTP 220.127.116.11 update
- Hi, just to inform all crackberry and playbook user here that LiteFTP have been updated to version 22.214.171.124 and for trial 22.214.171.124. Below is the changes we made:
Full version:
- now support landscape and potrait mode.
- menu option now using playbook swipe bezel mode.
- new text file can be created in menu option.
- change the app id because OS 1.0.7 have bug which user cannot download and purchased the old
LiteFTP apps.
- Support MLST and MLSD command. Old version cannot browse ftp directory if ftp server is set to use MLSD command instead of LIST.
Trial version:
- change the app id because OS 1.0.7 bug same as above.
- trial version is still using old liteFTP features except now it support MLST and MLSD. Other features that listed above is not available in the trial version.
Future planned:
- export and import site data.
- looking to implement queue system but will take some time.
Thank you
Note: Unfortunately for existing user same scenario that happened with files & folder apps which it stuck cannot deleted and upgraded because of PlayBook OS 1.0.7 bugs. They have changed the platform version checking function which not supposed to check during delete and upgrade operation. We try to change the app id as suggested by RIM and even change the developer key but unfortunately all failed. We were inform this will fix in the next OS update.

- Hi dfaris,
you can download the trial version and test with your ftp. so far we test with Secure FTP Test Server working great. That's why we create the trial version so user can download and try with their ftp.
Thank you07-26-11 07:21 PM
- Thanks for the reply. I have downloaded the trial but when i try to log in to my ftp i get a FTP #2031 error I have to use ftpes://myftp.site.com as the hostname if that matters if I use just myftp.site.com I get a message that says SSL/TLS required on the control channel.07-26-11 07:51 PM
- Yes Marcel38,
because of the OS 1.0.7 bug you still using old version. Just for your and other CrackBerry user information, these issue only occured if LiteFTP has been installed in OS 1.0.6 before upgraded to OS 1.0.7. If it has been installed in OS 1.0.7 this issue will not occured. New user also will not faced this issue, only user who downloaded the old version in OS 1.0.6.
There is 2 way to solved this issue. 1st solution from RIM which they say the only way to fix this now is by wiping the device and install the latest version we released. 2nd is an alternative from us, which we are in processing creating a temporary sideloaded version of LiteFTP which user can sideload to the PlayBook without the appworld until the latest OS update has been released.
If you have problem with old version and wanted to get the latest version than please email us with you playbook PIN number. But if the old version is working great and you can wait for the next OS update then it's up to you because the latest version changes is more to added features and some UI changes not a major bug fix.
Last edited by YobMedia; 07-26-11 at 08:07 PM.07-26-11 07:55 PM
- Hi dfaris,
ok if ftpes not yet supported. Current LiteFTP apps is based on PlayBook Adobe AIR SDK which it have it own limitation. We are still waiting for PlayBook Native SDK which we can create a full ftp client apps.
Actually LiteFTP we created for our internal use at 1st but later we think other playbook user will gain benefit from it until the Native SDK has been released which will really unleashed the full potential of this PlayBook platform.
It support most common ftp like cpanel hosting and directadmin hosting. Microsoft FTP in IIS also supported. We are still in process trying to cover all other ftp software which we get feedback from current user which they really help us by sending console output log from their PC FTP client.
Thanks07-26-11 08:05 PM
- Hmm. Anytime I hear "just try it" when a developer's asked if a feature works in their app (in this case SSL) it really doesn't make me feel like the developer is confident. Sounds to me like it's hit and miss. Personally, not gunna bother in case it works for what I have now but misses on something I setup later. I'ma wait for official SSL support.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com07-27-11 12:51 AM
- Hi Juggalo20,
actually we just test FTPS via Auth TLS/SSL and implicit FTP over SSL on port 990 but it is actually using FTP.domain.com not FTPES.domain.com. That's why we just ask to try because we don't have ftpes test server to test.
As we mention before our core LiteFTP development is more on hosting server which we use ourself. There is a limit what we can do and cannot do with Adobe AIR SDK and yes we also new in this FTP development world, we know the basic not the advanced features of FTP.
That's why we called it LiteFTP, a very simple ftp client for BlackBerry PlayBook™ in our appworld description. We will update it from time to time and hope LiteFTP will become more than just a simple FTP client for PlayBook. Thank you for your comment and we are happy because a lot of user are requesting LiteFTP to become more than just a simple ftp client and we will add more resource on this after the NATIVE SDK has been released.
Thanks again.07-27-11 01:08 AM
- Good to see an active response from this developer, my compliments for that.
@YobMedia: I can wait for the fix from RIM, thanks for your offer to sideload, much apreciated, but I would not recommend that.
I'm already waiting sooo looong for 'coming soon promises' and 'other promised stuff' that this little issue can be added easily to 'The List' :-D
My workaround is to add my mostly used apps to the favorites...07-31-11 03:52 AM
- Hi Marcel38,
yes sideload is not a recommended option but this version we recommend only for user that having problem with previous issue especially to user that email us the bug and have helped us solved the bugs. Unfortunately they cannot continue used LiteFTP unless they get access to the latest version that have fix custom ftp command bug with their ftp server.
So we will only give the sideloaded version to user who has this problem before. For existing user without any problem with the old LiteFTP we suggest to wait for the next OS update because the latest version only implement the reported user bugs fix, support potrait and landscape mode plus the ability to create new text file.
Somehow this OS bug have slow down our progress because now we have two type of user. A new user who purchased or download the latest LiteFTP which they can continue to upgrade and a group of existing user that stuck with old LiteFTP version until the next OS update. Because of this we can only released the next major version after the OS update.
Currently we trying to improve LiteFTP so it can have a queue system which allowed user to queue files for upload and download. We also in process on updating ftp folder delete process which currently can only delete the folder if the folder is empty. There is a lot of improvement can be made while waiting for the next OS update and we looking forward to release a more solid FTP client for user that are stuck right now and new users.
Thank you.

- Hi everyone!
I like the look of this program - was exactly what I expected to see when I opened it up.
I get the message "LiteFTP can only access Passive or super-passive connection" with the free version. Is any one able to confirm that the paid version supports Active FTP connections for me please? Just that the website host I use does not seem to accept passive connections...
Many thanks to anyone that can provide input or guidance!09-12-11 06:56 AMLike 1
- Hi Barljo,
currently only passive and extended passive connection supported. Active not supported. It is the limitation of the adobe air SDK. We have apply for the NDK but application have been rejected because currently the NDK (native SDK) is only for game developer which we apply to create a native app of LiteFTP instead. So until NDK is available for apps developer then this is only mode supported in LiteFTP.
FTPS is supported already but we not yet released this version in appworld because currently we are focusing in implemented the download and upload queue features which allow user to upload a folder to ftp. We considering to release LiteFTP with FTPS support plus queue features in the next release. tq09-16-11 07:25 AM
- I am looking for an FTP client to download manuals and cannot get the trial version of this to download. I will buy this if I know that it works. Can anyone comment on this.10-08-12 11:03 AM
The browser itself is much faster than its closest competitor (Files and Folders, which OTOH features an excellent photo preview/slideshow feature and dropbox connections but NO ftp)
Now I couldn't just recommend File Browser solely for ftp, because I must say the ftp management fails for I'd say 5% of my servers, for which visibly there is an issue with folder structure handling.
I don't remember if File Browser features a tryout version -if yes, try with your servers. If no and you have a single server you'd want to try out (not ten, please) feel free to create a temporary account for me and PM...10-09-12 09:21 AM
- another thing: in fact LiteFTP does feature a trial version. The thing suddenly came of interest for me because that's the fist time I see an actual app that handles file permissions the unix way. Alas, from here (in France) asking for demo instal just silently fails. I tried to contact the dev: the url in App world is wrong. I found the real web portal, emailed them. No reply.
Is there someone around that managed to download the trial version recently??

For Chaos heard his voice: him all his Traine
Follow'd in the bright procession to behold
Creation, and the wonders of his might.
--Paradise Lost, John Milton
It was fitting that writer and critic Alexander Cockburn's funeral should include a passage from Milton. For more than 50 years, Cockburn combined polished, erudite writing with fierce political insight in the tradition of the great 17th-century English polemicist. Cockburn died July 20 in Germany at age 71, following a two-year struggle with cancer. He was buried July 28 in his beloved Petrolia, Calif.
It is hard to sum up his career because it was catholic in true meaning of that word: all-embracing. He wrote for newspapers in England as well as New York's Village Voice, The Wall Street Journal, and The Nation -- and, along with Jeffery St. Clair, founded the investigative publication CounterPunch. For more than 50 years, Cockburn was a relentless critic of U.S. foreign policy, opposing the Yugoslav War, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the recent war in Libya.
He was particularly critical of Israel, and for that earned the undying enmity of people like Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, who called him an anti-Semite. Cockburn responded by publishing a book of essays entitled The Politics of Anti-Semitism, commenting that one could always tell Israel was misbehaving when charges of anti-Semitism were thrown at its critics.
He was born in Scotland, the oldest of three sons of Claud and Patricia Cockburn. He had two sisters from his father's previous marriages. The family moved to Youghal, County Cork in 1947, and Cockburn lived there until he went to Oxford in 1960. Graduating from Oxford in 1963 with a degree in literature and language, he worked as a journalist in London. He moved to the United States in 1972.
For 12 years Cockburn wrote a column for the Village Voice called "Press Clips," which dismantled the myth of objective journalism and exposed the incestuous relationship between U.S. foreign and domestic policymakers and the media. The column sent shockwaves through the fourth estate in much the same way as A.J. Liebling's critical writings had done in a previous generation.
He left the Voice in 1984 and began writing a column named after one of his father's novels, Beat the Devil, for the Nation. He continued to do so up until a few days before he died. His last column appeared in the Nation July 30.
In 1996, he and Jeffery St. Clair founded CounterPunch, a combination print and online investigative magazine that features some of the leading writers on the left.
Keeping It in the Family
The Cockburn family was sort of a journalism collective. Alex's father Claud was probably the best frontline reporter during the 1936-39 Spanish Civil War -- and the competition was rather steep for that designation -- and a brilliant essayist on everything from British foreign policy to Irish agricultural practices. The elder Cockburn's ability to write about virtually anything paralleled Alexander's career. As Nation editor and publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel told the Associated Press, "His range was extraordinary. He could write about fox hunting, and he could write about intervention."
Cockburn wrote several books, including Whiteout: The CIA, Drugs and the Press (with St. Clair), A Short History of Fear, Corruptions of Empire, and End Times: The Death of the Fourth Estate.
Alexander's brothers, Patrick and Andrew, are also journalists of considerable merit. Patrick, a Middle East expert for the Independent, spent several years in Iraq writing an outstanding book on Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr. He is currently based in Britain and continues to report and comment on the Middle East.
Andrew, an expert on all matters military, has written several investigative books, including a recent one on former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, as well as a study of U.S.-Israeli covert relations and a book on Saddam Hussein. His Frontline story "Drugs, Guns and the CIA" -- prepared in collaboration with his wife, Leslie Cockburn -- is probably the best study of the long and sordid relationship between American intelligence agents and drug dealers during the U.S. war in Laos and the Contra War against Nicaragua.
A Crusade against Orthodoxy
Obituaries have labeled Cockburn a "contrarian," but that term is inaccurate. He was famously fierce and could be absolutely scathing -- woe betide those who challenged him in print -- but his politics were always coherent and deep-seated. If he disagreed with you it wasn't because he was being contrary, it was because he didn't agree with your politics.
He was always suspicious of orthodoxy -- a sentiment that he shared with Milton - -which many times put him at odds with others on the left. He was roundly criticized for his doubts about global warming, but his stance had nothing to do with crankiness and everything to do with his mistrust of groupthink. He was suspicious of assumed truths, and when he expressed those sentiments about global warming he was widely denounced. It was as if he had gone to Lourdes and done something rude to the Virgin Mary. Criticism always made him dig in his heels, and if you wanted a good old-fashioned Donnybrook, Alex was your man.
His funeral was very much an Alexander Cockburn affair. The speeches were short and the funeral procession -- led by his daughter, Daisy -- was headed up by a yellow fire engine. A long line of cars followed, winding their way through the rolling Northern California hills to a flat plain surrounded by high hills crowned with ocean fog. "Over to the glory land" was sung, and Cockburn's beautifully handcrafted coffin -- embossed with a typewriter -- laid to rest.
We shall not see his like again in our time.

In Context: The United Kingdom
Following the EU Referendum there have been calls by some for the future of the United Kingdom to be looked at closely. Some, such as Scottish Nationalists, argue for a repeat of the Scottish Independence Referendum. Elsewhere, there have been calls for discussion about the position of Northern Ireland and London to take place.
Clearly much of the current discussion is a direct response to the result of the EU Referendum. As the UK begins it's journey towards exiting the Union, there will be many political attempts to influence that process. While it is unclear whether there will be any legislative moves to split up the Unions that form the United Kingdom, it is clear that it is desired by some.
To place these discussions into their historical context, here is a brief history of the making of the United Kingdom. This content does not look at the way in which the respective unions developed or their advantages / disadvantages, though the history of these issues may be covered in a separate post.
While the British Isles are relatively small, they have for a long time been home to peoples of very varied backgrounds. Even dating back to pre-Roman times there wasn't particularly one group that could be considered to be 'The British' and the Isles were divided up along tribal lines. Of course that was changed to an extent by the Roman occupation of much of the Isles – but there remained large areas in which the tradition of resisting occupation was fostered and grew. Following the departure of the Roman legions the early kingdoms developed. Not the countries that we now know as England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales but a greater number of kingdoms, that roughly speaking conform with some modern regions. As the Danes took control of much of the North and the East of England and pillaged the coast around the entirety of the Isles, alliances were formed and old kingdoms destroyed to a degree that the Isles had four recognisable kingdoms – albeit very independent ones – by 954 when the last Viking ruler was forced out of Northumbria. The Danes did, however, continue to have significant influence in the now unified England, as King Cnut, followed by his sons, ruled England and Denmark from 1016 until the accession of King Edward the Confessor in 1042.
Following the Norman Invasion and conquest of England the relationship between the four nations became one that was driven largely by attempts, first by the Normans, then by later rulers, to shore up borders; exert political and economic supremacy and to end any threats of invasion. It sparks a period of some 650 years in which there was an ongoing struggle for domination of the Isles. This led to English overlordship of Scotland, Wales and Ireland being exerted during the Medieval period and several well known and popularised attempts to wrestle back independence and self governance.
Union with Wales
The first formal unity. The first time that parliament legislated on 'union' between any of the four kingdoms was in 1536. Against a backdrop of Henry VIII's break with Rome and enforcing his rule over the marcher Lords, his government issued an act that formalised the 'union' with Wales. From 1536, English was to be the language of the Welsh Courts and the powers of lords, including the English, Marcher lords, was curtailed. There is a more detailed account of this Act here. This Act was updated in 1543. Additional detail is available here.
At the same time the English were making moves to formalise their overlordship of Ireland. in 1541 Ireland was declared a dependent kingdom. However in reality only Dublin and the surrounding area, known as the pale, were fully under the control of the English.
Union with Scotland
The Act of Union of 1707 formalised links between England and Scotland. However, this was not an act that was warmly welcomed by all. Scots were regarded as a potential threat to the new political order in England. With the House of Hanover assuming the throne, there was substantial support within Scotland for the ousted Stuart family. The Act of Union here was one that would manage the populace rather than wholly embrace the concept of union. Scotland was to be represented by 45 MPs. Note: at the same time, Cornwall which had only recently been incorporated into the English parliament, had more representatives in parliament.
Scotland's Act of Union wasn't the first time that government had, in effect, been controlled by London. Under Cromwell's rule the Scots and Irish were both forced into a union under his government from 1652 until Restoration. There had also been discussions and overtures from both sides towards forms of union between the parliaments of England and Scotland over the course of the 17th century. To this end a federation style union had been proposed in 1641, an idea revisited again two years later. That type of union was favoured by the Scottish estates as it retained their main powers. 'In contrast was an 'incorporation' which would place control firmly in the hands of politicians in England: this idea was proposed and rejected in 1648, 1689 and 1702.
Union with Ireland
Union with Ireland grew in importance to Westminster politicians in the latter stages of the eighteenth century. Following the American Revolution and attempts at an invasion by the French in 1798, it was politically prudent for the English to formalise union. In 1800 the Act of Union with Ireland came into being. Ireland was represented at Westminster in a similar manner to that in which Scotland and Wales were. Irish concerns had been abated, to an extent, by comments from Scots about the perceived benefits of union. Note: whilst Scotland did have economic benefits from the relationship in the longer term, union itself was followed by a medium term period of recession. The same happened in Ireland.

The company doesn't provide guidance; our current 2018 SSNOI estimate is 2.0%." (2/21/2018) 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of Public Storage have underperformed the industry it belongs to in the past three months. Moreover, the stock has seen the Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter 2017 funds from operations (FFO) per share being revised downward in two months' time. Admittedly, Public Storage is a recognized and established name in the self-storage industry in the United States and its acquisition and expansion efforts look encouraging. Late in 2017, the company unveiled a new facility in Richmond, TX. The facility marked the company's seventh in the Houston area in the year. However, supply has been rising in a number of its markets. This limits its power to raise rents and turn on more discounting. Further, rate hike have added to its woes."

I specialize in the archaeology, cultures, and history of the ancient Near East, particularly Mesopotamia. I am interested in both the artifacts and textual record of ancient Sumer, and my research focuses on the history of technology, as approached through these two types of evidence.Since 2003, I have been a member of an international team excavating the site of Çadir Höyük in central Turkey. Our site shows evidence of occupation ranging from the 6th millennium B.C. through the Byzantine period. Hood students have been members of this team since 2004. At Hood, I coordinate the concentration in Archaeology within the Art major, and the Archaeology minor. My courses include classes on ancient art, archeology, and mythology.

'By it and with it and on it and in it,' said the Rat. 'It's brother and sister to me, and aunts, and company, and food and drink, and (naturally) washing. It's my world, and I don't want any other.'

Independence Day is my favorite holiday, by far. I'd easily sacrifice pastel eggs and pumpkins for pride and patriotism. It could be because I was born a few months after the Bicentennial. Or because my father, an Army veteran, is the most patriotic person I know (I swear he bleeds red, white, and blue). But I think it has even more to do with the fact that my hometown has had the best 4th of July celebrations as far back as I can remember…and then some.
My own timeline can be reconstructed based on 4th of July festivities in Pleasant Mount. In my youth, I marched in the parade as a Rebel with the Fife & Drum Corps; pushed my baby sister in a stroller as a pre-teen; twirled a baton during my short stint as a majorette while a teenager; drove numerous floats over the years (the timeline is a little fuzzy on this…some floats were probably driven before I had a license), and more recently I've spent time out on the North Road checking in the overwhelming number of tractors that show up to parade through town every year.
These celebrations extend well past my own memories. After all, the David Spencer Steam Tractor made its maiden voyage on July 4, 1889 in the Pleasant Mount Parade.
If you've been to Pleasant Mount on the 4th of July, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, you should see what it's all about. There's a parade, a patriotic program in Meredith Park, a chicken barbecue, and plenty of other activities in the center of town. The Historical Society museum is open for tours free of charge, we have collectibles and gifts for sale, and antiques for sale on the lawn. I also hear that there will be fireworks this year.
As a long-time Wayne County public official once said, "Pleasant Mount is the place to be on the 4th of July." So, mark your calendar and join us (this year's celebration will be held on Saturday, July 3).

The Clash Without The Ash!
On this Friday evening, February 15th the doors of the Templemore Arms function room, the Cube nightclub and a specially erected marquee will open to allow 1200 very inquisitive boxing spectators into a specially prepared arena where 30 amateur boxers including 6 females ill all be hoping to give professional performances when representing the JK Brackens and Loughmore-Castleiney clubs in a white collar boxing show. The many ring craft skills that they have been practicing night, noon and morning for the past 6 weeks will be tested to the limits!
Music is magic, skiing is a very tricky exercise, ventriloquists deceive the eye doing Houdini acts such as pulling rabbits from hats and dancing on ice is very graceful. All great entertainment but none to be compared with the crème de la crème of the action in store in the Arms on Friday evening!
Few venues can get you as close to the action as the Arms, as close as one can get to a ringside view for all in attendance. All who have had the privilege of seeing the efforts the boxers have been putting in in training plus the efforts the organisers are making to ensure the venue will be a theatre of dreams on Friday night are more than satisfied that
all in attendance will go home happy.
As for the boxers – in the middleweight section two very agile individuals who have been showing very determined efforts in their preparations are Kevin O' Riordan and David McGrath who will give never-to-be-forgotten performances. No go-back in either of these guys! In the flyweight section Owen Butler and Kieran Kiely will be moving faster than the wind. The pace of this contest will have to be watched very closely to be sure which of them threw the last punch! In the welterweight section will be two individuals who will not hear of defeat. Their performances at training have been flat out from the very first moment to the final second of every session. Shane Scully has not been cutting any corners in his efforts to be properly edged up for battle with his equally enthusiastic opponent Derek Bourke. Both have all the necessary boxing attributes to give performances almost on a par with our Olympians in London!
A spokesperson for the 6 ladies involved has said all will enter the ring feeling the fittest, the leanest, the healthiest and the smartest boxers ever to appear in an amateur ring – a truly unique set of awesome contests expected here!
On sale on the night will be a specially designed colour souvenir programme containing much information on all the boxers involved. Numerous valuable prizes including boxing gloves signed by Katie Taylor, vouchers sponsored by the Templemore Arms, Larry Bourke TV and many others will be on offer for the lucky programme holders. All in attendance are asked to arrive before 8pm. Hope you enjoy the night of what is expected to be unequalled entertainment!

|Road User Charging (Enforcement and Adjudication) (London) Regulations 2001 and Road User Charging (Charges and Penalty Charges) (London) Regulations 2001
Mr. Spellar: May I ask whether Capita has any contracts with Conservative councils?
Mr. Chope: Unlike the Minister, I do not have shares in Capita. All I know is that it is the firm responsible for the demise of individual learning accounts, and all the resulting egg on the Government's face. I do not, however, blame the Minister personally for that.
The Chairman: Order. The hon. Gentleman should bring us back to the subject of the debate.
Mr. Chope: As the pressure builds up against the ludicrous congestion charges in London, it is interesting that this supposed Government of principle is back-pedalling very fast on whether or not they support them. The Minister was present at oral questions when the Secretary of State for Transport seemed to be diffident on the matter of congestion charging.
Mr. Foster: Good word.
Mr. Chope: The Secretary of State for Transport lacked the full-blooded enthusiasm of our friends, the Liberal Democrats. Why was he so diffident, and why does his diffidence fall short of refusing to approve the regulations? If the regulations were not approved, there would be a scheme without sanctions. The Minister will know that it is pretty difficult to make a command stick without sanctions or penalties, in which case the House would be able to articulate its concern on behalf of Londoners that the scheme will not work. The scheme is extremely premature given the shambles of the London underground and other transport issues in London.
Rob Marris (Wolverhampton, South-West): Will the hon. Gentleman say whether he is in favour of local democracy and decentralisation or not?
Mr. Chope: I am an enthusiastic believer in local democracy and centralisation, which is why I was in favour of abolishing the Greater London Council and the Inner London Education Authority, and returning control of transport affairs to the London boroughs. Extreme resentment is being expressed by the London boroughs and their representatives on the Greater London Authority about the fact that the Mayor is interfering in their interests and refusing to listen to reason.
The hon. Member for Vauxhall (Kate Hoey), who commands a lot of respect among Conservative Members, is not in Committee this afternoon. She stood up and challenged the Prime Minister on the scheme. She represents her constituents articulately, and made the telling point, which the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, South-West (Rob Marris) will remember, that one adverse consequence that will flow from the ludicrous charges is that it will be more difficult to recruit teachers to schools that are close to
Column Number: 8the perimeter of the charging zone. Teachers in schools in her constituency are already saying that they will leave and go elsewhere to avoid the daily charges. I believe in giving responsibility to local people as far down the line as possible. One of the big mistakes about this scheme is that it does not reflect the concerns of local people.
Mr. Foster: Will the hon. Gentleman remind the Committee whether the Mayor of London included his enthusiasm for congestion charging in his manifesto and whether, having subsequently won the election, he could fairly say that the people of London had voted for that?
Mr. Chope: The hon. Gentleman is probably a greater expert than I am on what happened during the London election and who promised what to whom. All I can say is that I have had differences with the Mayor over a long period. I understand-someone will correct me if I am wrong-that only a few weeks back the Mayor said that if the new charging system does not work within a couple of months he will scrap it. However, it was reported in yesterday's Evening Standard that he had said that he would not scrap it, that it will stay and indeed that he is thinking of extending it more widely across London. If the Mayor can be so inconsistent about that, I am sure he was inconsistent in his election campaign.
Other issues also arise-for example, whether there is sufficient alternative provision if people are forced out of their cars. Rich people will stay in their cars because they can afford the congestion charge, but poor people will be forced on to the underground, which is already overloaded, and we know that schemes to increase capacity on the underground have collapsed or are much delayed because of the conflict between the Government and the Mayor.
I recently asked the Secretary of State for Transport:
His most junior Minister helpfully replied:
We now understand from what the Mayor has said that, whatever was discussed, he has decided to withdraw his co-operation with plans for London Underground. We also understand that road user charging was discussed. We know that because Lord McIntosh of Haringey said in the other place on 15 October that
Why was the Minister in this House so coy about telling us what was discussed with the Mayor at the meeting on 26 September? Why did he try to distance himself from that clear assertion by Lord McIntosh of Haringey, who has had his own differences with the Mayor of London, as we know from the history books. I am sure it was without spite that he made it
Column Number: 9clear that the Government have always been supportive of congestion charges.
Why did the Secretary of State not say on the ''Today'' programme that he was, of course, enthusiastic about congestion charging and that it would be good news for Londoners and increase Londoners' support for the Labour party? He did not say that because he knows that it will be counterproductive for the Labour party. Its supporters are flocking to the Conservatives, because they realise that we are the only party against the lunacy of congestion charges in London. If, as I fear, the regulations go through today because of the combined support of the Labour and Liberal Democrat parties, the only way out will be for us to win control of London with a mayoral candidate who will deal with the matter. [Interruption.] I do not want to anticipate decisions of the electorate.
Mr. Foster: As the hon. Gentleman is pursuing that point, will he place firmly on the record his view, if no one else's, that he advises London Conservatives to vote for a candidate who supports congestion charging?
Mr. Chope: Conservatives in London are wise enough to make their own decisions about whom they want to support. I would not want to advise people about that, any more than the chairman or leader of my party would.
The Chairman: Order. We are drifting away from the regulations. Speculating on how Tories will vote is not a matter for the Committee.
Mr. Chope: Absolutely, Mr. Hancock. I was tempted down that path by the hon. Member for Bath.
Congestion charging is an important matter. The Government said that they were enthusiastic about it, but they now seem less enthusiastic because people are realising that it will be a burden on them with no benefit whatever. That is why we are against congestion charges and we are taking this opportunity to demonstrate that. If the Committee votes against the statutory instrument, Londoners and a wider section of road users will be relieved of a burden that will otherwise be imposed on them.
4.56 pm
Tom Brake: I welcome the opportunity to say a few words about road user charging. Hon. Members may be interested to know that, along the Corridor, the Select Committee on Transport is considering multi-modal studies and road user charging. The Select Committee has identified that the consultants who worked on the multi-modal studies were given very confusing messages about the Government's position on road user charging. They have come up with options that support it in some cases, but not in others. The issue is not clear.
I was interested in the point made by the hon. Member for Christchurch about being in favour of local government and centralisation. That must have been a Freudian slip, but it sums up what the Conservatives stand for. We support congestion charging in London and hope that it will be successful. The hon. Gentleman said that it will not
Column Number: 10reduce traffic. When Transport for London last commented on the matter, it suggested that a 10 per cent. reduction could be achieved and was realistic. I hope that that will happen and that it will be a success on 17 February. It needs to be successful, because the Government will not step in with the additional income that will otherwise be raised from congestion charges. They are refusing to fund the £1.5 billion gap for the public-private partnership for the tube. The hon. Member for Vauxhall, to whom the hon. Member for Christchurch referred, was unable to suggest where the additional revenue would come from to improve London's transport system when she gave evidence to the Select Committee on Transport.
We support congestion charging and want it to be successful. The Minister criticises the Liberal Democrats for not supporting road user charging, but the fact that we are supportive of what will be the biggest scheme in the country and possibly the world is indicative of the level of support that we give it.
Mr. Spellar rose-
Tom Brake: Oh, I have given the Minister another opportunity.
Mr. Spellar: In that case, perhaps the hon. Gentleman would explain why, in areas where the Liberal Democrats have formed an administration and could take responsibility for such an operation, they have not proposed congestion charging? As far as I am aware, they have not proposed congestion charging in any local authority area, although I am open to correction.

This course will examine the interaction between different racial groups in the U.S. from the 19th century to our present moment.
Conventionally, such studies focus solely on the relationship between African Americans and whites, relying on the hackneyed Black-white paradigm of U.S. race relations. This seminar explodes that dichotomy, searching for a broader historical model, which includes yellow, brown, red, and ethnic white.
We will critically interrogate the history of contact that exists between and among these diverse "groups," and whether conflict or confluence dominates their interaction. If conflict, what factors have prevented meaningful alliances? If confluence, what roles have these groups played in
collectively striving for a multiracial democracy?"

When visiting a city or a town you have never visited before, you probably want to see as much of it as possible. And, when it comes to seeing the most out of a city, there is hardly a better way than hiring the services or a car rental company, such as the car rental.
However, given the sheer number of car rental companies these days, you could easily end up hiring the wrong one. To help you avoid that, we will provide a few tips on how to find the right one.
Do some net surfing
As is the case with any other purchase, start by searching the web for the best rates. Shopping online will afford you the luxury of seeing the rates on any car you are interested in. Also, keep in mind that a large number of companies offer special discounts to those who opt to rent online. Of course, the rates will vary from one company to the next, depending on the location, vehicle, and other factors. However, you can be sure you will find a good deal. All it takes is a little effort and patience.
Weekend shopping
Rates are usually cheaper during the weekends. Although this is also something that varies from company to company, it is typical for almost all of them to offer cheaper rates during the weekends. If you can make a flexible rental arrangement, you should choose a weekend rental. That way, you will certainly end up with extra dollars in your pocket.
Weekly rates
Now, even though weekend rates are the cheapest, weekly ones are much more cost-effective from a broader perspective. In most cases, a certain car that rents for a weekend rate of around $55, can be rented on a weekly basis for around $250, which represents a savings of almost 30% if you plan on using a vehicle for the entirety of the week. Therefore, if you are planning to stay in a city for at least five days, you should opt for a weekly rate.
The insurance
Next up, don't forget to check about the insurance. Keep in mind that the majority of the companies will try to sell you insurance, even though your insurance will cover you in this case. If you are not sure about this, make sure to double check with your insurance provider, to avoid paying any unnecessary fees.
Early bookings
Just like renting a hotel room of booking a summer vacation, an early booking of car rental services is much better than late booking. By making an early booking, you will undoubtedly find cheaper rates. In most cases, these rates will depend on the number of vehicles a company has available at the moment you make the rent, so, the sooner you make the booking, the better. To get the best bang for your buck, make sure to book at least a week in advance.
Think twice about upgrading to a larger vehicle
Subcompact cars are undoubtedly the most popular ones when it comes to car rentals. For that reason, many companies tend to offer free upgrades to larger cars. While this may seem like a great deal for both you and the renter, it is only if you have a true need for a larger vehicle. However, if you don't need one, you should decline the offer. A larger vehicle means a larger gas bill, which means that the free offer is not a "free" one.
