RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Ivory Coast came from behind to beat Japan 2-1 at the Arena Pernambuco in Recife last night in Group C of the FIFA World Cup. National idol Didier Drogba came off the bench to inspire the Africans to victory after a tepid opening half.
Drogba hadn't started the game due to a thigh injury, and the Elephants missed his leadership as Japan had the better of the opening exchanges. Honda fired Japan ahead on sixteen minutes with a fierce left-footed drive.
The rain beat down during the game, taking the pace off the ball and rendering Gervinho's attempts to claw Ivory Coast level useless. The 27-year-old's pace can be a potent weapon, but on a night such as this it was of little use.
Japan went in at the break a goal to the good, and in the awful weather looked content to settle for a scrappy 1-0 win. But that was until the introduction of a certain Didier Drogba, just after the hour mark.
His presence alone was enough to encourage his teammates, who scored two goals in as many minutes to turn the tie around. First, on 64 minutes, Bony met Aurier's right-sided cross with a deft glancing header to bring the scores level.
Two minutes later the same player provided for Gervinho, whose headed effort crept in at the near post beyond a sprawling Kawashima in the Japan goal. Drogba hadn't participated in the goals, but had delivered the belief to his supporting cast that they were not out of the contest.
As Japan pressed for an equalizer, Ivory Coast had the chance of a third on the counter-attack. Gervinho teed up Yaya Toure, but he could not get his shot away in time, and the result finished 2-1.

Love and filming on the (River) Spree
Christian Bale has been filming in Berlin for eight weeks. His wife came from Los Angeles so that the Hollywood star wouldn't feel quite so lonely.
The "American Psycho" star and his wife Sibi have been inseparable since their wedding in January. Even for the shooting of the science-fiction thriller "Equilibrium" Christian Bale brought his "better half" with him. "I'm very happy that she is with me," he said.
And in order to make her feel really comfortable he rented a large flat in the fashionable Schöneberg district for their eight-week stay. While Bale was standing in front of the cameras at Tempelhof airport and in the Reichstag building, Sibi roamed the city in her rented BMW and bought Christmas presents for her loved ones in L.A.

In February, 1977, JZ Knight, housewife, mother and accomplished business woman, standing in her kitchen playing with pyramids, saw something on the other side of the room: "This glitter, like you would take a handful and turn it loose through a ray of sunshine – and there were these lights happening, and I was mesmerized. And there appeared this seven-foot-tall entity who was as big as life and the most beautiful thing I had ever seen."
The entity spoke: "Beloved woman, I am Ramtha the Enlightened One, and I have come to help you over the ditch. It is called the ditch of limitation. I am here, and we are going to do grand work together."
JZ became Ramtha's first student, and he taught her while she worked through her own utter confusion and dismay: Was he an angel? But there were no wings. Was he the devil? Was he a phantom? Was he an illusion? Eventually, she had to accept that there were such beings that lived outside the realm of human perception, and only appear to us when we are open enough to see them.
After two years of guiding JZ through new knowledge and experiences, Ramtha taught her to leave her body, telling her, "This is what you are going to experience the moment of death. You are going to die, but it won't hurt, and it will only be a little short while, and then you are going to come back." Once she learned to relax, "All of a sudden I was chasing that light at the end of the tunnel and this wind was whizzing by me. The moment I hit that light so bright, I was up against a light wall. I remember Ramtha talking to me; it was really beautiful and loving, and he said, "Now you are your true self at this moment. This moment is who you really are, and you have left your body behind."
Thus started a journey between channel and channeled entity, student and teacher, that would evolve to become a School of Ancient Wisdom, but unlike any before in the history of mankind, open to the public – from all cultures, races, nationalities, and persuasions. For the first ten years, the teachings, known as "The Dialogue Days," were hotel based question and answer sessions. Then in 1988, Ramtha transformed his teachings into a formal training school all because someone finally asked the all-important questions: "Can you teach me what you know? How do I also become God realized?"
Since then, Ramtha's school, based on both the teaching of knowledge and then the experience of that knowledge through disciplines that Ramtha created and implemented, has been a demanding, rigorous training ground for those who attend, and it has not been without controversy. In 1992, faced with accusations of fraud and "cultic brainwashing," Dr. J. Gordon Melton, an American religious scholar and founding director of the Institute for the Study of American Religion, was brought in as a witness and to testify for a pending court case.
Melton was tasked with determining whether or not the charges of fraud were valid, and after two years of studying the training, participating in the training, living in JZ's house and speaking at length with students and JZ's personal staff, he found nothing in the phenomenon to suggest anything fraudulent. He would eventually ask JZ's permission to write a book about the school based on what he had seen and heard: "She [JZ] had developed a noteworthy religious (sic) community, and I wanted to be the one to document it." Finding Enlightenment, Ramtha's School of Ancient Wisdom was published in 1998 by Beyond Words Publishing.
SuperConsciousness Magazine recently spoke with Dr. Melton and asked him to share his further contemplations since the late 1990's, and three things came immediately to mind. One was that he perceived JZ Knight as a woman of great integrity, and that she had demonstrated this most notably by how well she handled an incident that occurred in the mid-1980's involving investments in her Arabian horse business. Melton also remembered one of his key experiences which had helped convince him of JZ's authenticity, sourced from his conversations with a member of JZ's household staff, Molly Gordon. During their early morning chats over cups of coffee, Molly's insights into the distinctive characteristics between JZ and when Ramtha was utilizing JZ's body, were consistent regardless of the direction Melton's questioning of Molly took.
I think that the most spiritually evolved person is someone who never has to worry about being taken care of. They never worry, wherever they are, because they are in touch with where they are. It's on their terms, but their terms are the whole environment around them.
Yet, the first thing that came to mind was that in his decades of studying religious and spiritual practices, how rare it was for students or devotees to consistently report the experiencing the extraordinary: Healings, teleportation, levitation, clairvoyance. During the course of his professional career, less than 1% ever reported experiencing such phenomena, yet at Ramtha's School, it was almost 100%.
Dr. Melton's involvement would have a significant impact on the school generally and JZ personally by suggesting to JZ that "other scholars would jump at the opportunity" to study this phenomenon as well. JZ eventually agreed and a dozen scholars and researchers from a broad range of disciplines set about studying JZ, the training – both knowledge and disciplines, and the student body through questionnaires, and individual psycho-physiological testing of eight advanced students.
The results of JZ's tests specifically astounded all the researchers. World renown parapsychology researcher Dr. Stanley Krippner reported, "When we were testing JZ, [we] were quite astonished because the needles on the polygraph that were graphing all of the psycho-physiological responses literally jumped from one part of the page to the other part of the page when Ramtha entered the picture. He had never seen such a dramatic change…. She's not faking it because when we hooked her up to test her physiological responses, we got results which could not have been manipulated." Later Krippner would say to JZ as they were leaving the building, "Well, JZ, I don't know what you are, but at least you're not a fake, and not a fraud."
SuperConsciousness Magazine also spoke with Dr. Ian Wickramasekera II, past-president of the Association for Applied Psycho-physiology and Biofeedback, who was originally involved with the collection and analysis of the test data obtained by his father from both JZ and the advanced students. He noted that the psycho-physiological tests given everyone showed rare and paradoxical results: "It is remarkable to witness dramatically elevated psychophysiological responses while in a state of complete relaxation." He went on to explain that meditation usually produces the classic relaxation response, thus to observe such a heightened brain activity response while the body remains inactive, had rarely been observed before and only from reclusive, advanced adepts. Wickramasekera lauded JZ and Ramtha for creating the school in the west and making the knowledge and training so accessible without requiring significant lifestyle change or heavy financial commitment.
The extraordinarily unique life experiences of JZ Knight, tested and backed by an extensive body of scientific evidence, lend an unparalleled credibility to her perceptions and insights about the nature of the spiritual journey. We are honored to present our featured interview with JZ Knight, where she shares her insights about the nature of change and spirituality, the future of mankind, and, for the first time publicly, her experiences in other realms while Ramtha is using her body to teach the Ancient Wisdom.
SC: While creating this issue focused on spirituality, we thought a lot about "What is spirituality?" and "What is the spiritual journey?" The clearest way we found to define those concepts for ourselves is that spirituality is all about growing up and is the product of an expanding awareness and perception of ourselves.
JZK: Absolutely.
I think it's a very bold undertaking to define spirituality because that topic hits everyone's subconscious prejudice, and people haven't yet been schooled to understand their spiritual life as their real life.
True visionaries are in short demand. You rarely find that intrinsic characteristic. The vision of a great life to a visionary is making the world better, making whatever persuasion they come from groundbreaking, liberating, making known the unknown.
The root of spirituality and the way it is defined in all sophisticated dictionaries is the nonphysical aspect of a human being that is at the seat of emotion and character. Isms, unfortunately, only got defined as an ism, that a nonphysical being would be less interested in the material world. So the ism, historically, is the separation from the Spirit of the material world. Those who are spiritual follow an ism to where they focus more on the nonphysical elements instead of wait for the material elements in the purest sense of the form.
I do not subscribe to that. It absolutely needs to be redefined, and that will come as the ism includes more hard science, infallible science, that points the way to a new ism. I find the definition of Spirit, the nonphysical, absolutely true and that it survives death. What I don't agree with is how things are made, and I have seen it for thirty-four years. I have experience on other levels as well as this level. The enigma of time on those other levels is immediate. The background is immediate. The scene to which one finds themselves in is immediate.
I will tell you what I know from being a walker in two worlds, many worlds.
In other words, if someone longs for a memory that they had of a rainy, windy night, and they have their dog sitting beside their chair in front of the fire and it was snapping while the wind was howling outside, entities on the other side still have those sorts of recall because it is part of the element that helps to define and evolve them. Instantly that scene is replicated — instantly.
Here, it takes a while, but there it's instant. If you go further afield, or if you collapse time even faster, it gets really bizarre because it's like watching a fireworks display with about a billion of them going off all at once. Just think of a fireworks display on the Fourth of July. Take a little image leap in your mind and ask what if the sky was literally packed with fireworks, always changing color? And this is really an impoverished description of it.
The stimulation of reality is so rapid, like lightning strikes, and yet you would look at this from your Observer point of view and go, "My God, what in the world is this, these smears of light in forever?"
Those are realities, and those realities are happening so rapidly they seem to be adverse to light, and then they're gone from our time. In their time they are smears of creation occurring. Just think of the "pop" before a Roman candle goes off and then it sprays. We could go further, but I don't have recall further than that.
Here's my point: In these worlds of beingness, there is an intractable relationship between the perceived reality and the entity. You do not know the difference. When you take that to a more rapid reality, actually the stage setting is the entity.
My opinion of a spiritual person is when they grow up and see their intricacy in all things. That's the super-connectedness of God's love. We cannot stand outside God's love because we are the action of it.
It's hard to isolate ourselves as the center of the universe when in fact we are the universe. And if we gnawed at that theory, it's not too far afield to agree that in other worlds, from our perspective, it would be just bursts of light.
Those bursts of light are really a very rapid reality, which scientists call particles or dancing energy, but in reality, the whole reality, you cannot separate the particles from the energy. You can't separate the energy from its light. They're all the same thing.
One of my greatest and most astounding moment was to see this "billions of fireworks" thing that I wasn't ready to experience. It was purely an observation, and yet I was a very teeny being. The idea is that there was no separation and that creation was actually going on, making known an unknown. What are they doing? I'd like to see their ideas, but they were the reality.
Have you ever seen a picture sped up? Doesn't it turn into a smear? And if that went even faster, wouldn't it look like a laser light? Can you imagine an unlimited number of laser lights?
Taking it down to this world where it's very slow and materialistic, we clog ourselves at being victimized by the gross injustices of our world. It is where I think we are the most impoverished in the sense that we don't realize that our whole identity is not what is reflected in the mirror but is actually reflected in the frequency of the whole stage of our life around us, and that's what we really are. We're not the target, our bodies, our personalities but simply implementing it. The whole reality that we have is actually us, and being in other realms, that is absolutely self-evident.
The mysterious Void, the mysterious light spectrum, is reflexive, and we affect it. That's why quantum science is so important for every enlightened — or wish-to-be-enlightened — person to study the practical application of thought, how it's generated, and its proverbial effects in our lives.
I know how important the disciplines are. I profoundly know how important the Neighborhood Walk® is. I profoundly know how important the Create Your Day® is because we are assigning our mind to a scene that will be made out of us, and if it is, then we have truly become a spiritual person.
We don't realize that our whole identity is not what is reflected in the mirror but is actually reflected in the frequency of the whole stage of our life around us, and that's what we really are.
My opinion of a spiritual person is when they grow up and see their intricacy in all things. That's the super-connectedness of God's love. We cannot stand outside God's love because we are the action of it. An open mind is not a big-headed narcissist. An open mind is "being the morning," and the morning is exactly what it's supposed to be.
My opinion comes from real experience. You can't test me there but you could test what was happening with my body when Ramtha comes in. And it was off the charts when those scientists tested me. I was gone. I was somewhere. Where was I? Where was JZ? I was in those supersonic places and bringing it back and understanding how important it is to tend to ourself.
Those who think they have to "talk spiritual" to me is so comical. When people say they have a spiritual life, I would go "Well, I certainly hope so. It certainly looks like you've got one going. You got a pulse? Yes, you're spiritual." It's a waste of time to talk spirituality to me unless you've got some marbles in place, because my narrative is going to be about how the nonphysical is integrated into the material and that the material is there because of that.
SC: How do you think humanity is doing? Are we growing up?
JZK: I don't think so. I think that the people who are individuals, the eggheads of the world — meaning those who are on the breaking edge of engineering, science, health, and the humanities, making a better world in terms of human beings — I think that we have an under amount of such people.
Unfortunately, I see the Western Hemisphere as a democracy that has gone soft in terms of everyone trying to survive, trying to edge out the next person to get the next job. We call that survival. When it wasn't that, it was all about entertainment. When you study the children in grade school, junior high, and high school, what is the one thing they want to be? The overwhelming majority want to be a basketball star, actors, actresses, work on Wall Street, and have a great car.
True visionaries are in short demand. You rarely find that intrinsic characteristic. The vision of a great life to a visionary is making the world better, making whatever persuasion they come from groundbreaking, liberating, making known the unknown. There is exotic energy from these people, whether it is a better way to get rewarded in life than from the monetary system, a better way to cure cancer instead of chemotherapy, a better way to lead people to form states to take care of the whole, and that everyone is an equal. Instead, it is the opposite right now.
To the heart of your question, it takes crisis to enable a spiritual search. It takes crisis to create reform, to enable reform. The Gulf spill may just have to be bad enough to bring out of the closet those hidden scientists that weren't ever allowed to come out because the politics of our government is really controlled by oil. Wars happen because of oil, because it's called an asset. Sometimes crisis is great to enable reform, to change the ideology of one person or a nation.
We absolutely have that technology in the black projects. We have replicators in the black projects. We have craft that control time and space. Why don't we use it? Because it would revamp the entire world's economy.
At present this is a star-struck, entertained, less-educated Western Hemisphere society whose goals are less than altruistic. So when you ask me if we're growing up, I think very few of us are growing up. I think the rest of us are immature.
There are just a handful of people in the world who are creating greater forms of energy, greater pathways to communication without frying the brain of a teenager, redefining medicine. We do not become spiritually enriched because of a few people.
People will go back to their churches and the churches will tell them that this was the will of God and to try to be better so that God will favor you. I think we are a childish and immature spiritual world because we are there on our own terms. I'm just telling it from my heart.
SC: Do you have a vision of the future? Insights?
JZK: It's inevitable. The more blessed our world is with crisis, the more hope we can see for change. I don't think that change is a bad thing. I think it is a necessity. I don't think that crisis is a horrible condemnation of God; I think it is the engine that makes the necessity of change, and so eventually I think that will happen.
You would have thought if they would have instituted the draft in North America, brought it back in, that you would have college campuses erupting all over this country and in Europe because they don't want to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq. There would be card burners and an outpouring of outrageousness. But because they're not getting drafted, there's no crisis; right? This war doesn't affect them, except for those lovely people that have their families involved in it or sometimes out of necessity so they can get an education.
You would have thought that what happened on Wall Street and around the world would have brought out the people of the Civil Rights movement. There would be five thousand people showing up in New York. And yet they ripped everyone off and this country became the biggest casino there is. You would have thought that there would be people pouring into the streets over this oil disaster. Did they? No.
These are real, viable, terrible things that have happened that people haven't reacted to, so I'm painting them all with a broad brush but in fact the majority of people have not reacted. A handful of people who really care are trying to hold their little sign up and say, "You ripped us off." Why are we in Afghanistan when Al Qaeda is in Africa? Why aren't we devastated about the Gulf of Mexico? So if you ask me if I think that we are spiritually mature? Absolutely not.
Well, isn't that what we're supposed to be doing, making known the unknown? I think it's just about time that we opened the Pandora's Box and let the future come, and it should be all about great replicators and antigravity and greater beings that we can actually have a conversation with.
If we were truly evolved to come out of our narcissistic status — the me-me-me-me-me, I own you, I control you, I could pull the plug whenever I want to, you will do as I say to you — or the insecure person who is very, very social, have to keep those intact so that they feel good about themselves — if you disconnect those kinds of mentalities about what is going on, you can't say hopefully they will evolve one day. The world is the way it is because they are the way they are. When we really grow up, when we are not at the heart of the universe but are interconnected, webbed, and woven through it all, then we have no issue in seeing ourselves as the grounds of our reality because then we can solve our own problems. We can be our own security. Wherever we are, we are.
If we were really that savvy, we wouldn't have crisis. We would only have the breaking of the old bread and crumbling it back up to make something else with it. We would absolutely be in charge of the remake of any environment. That's not crisis; that's celebration. When we are at odds with the natural environment, it is going to cause crisis because we're ill-prepared to address it.
I think that the most spiritually evolved person is someone who never has to worry about being taken care of. They never worry, wherever they are, because they are in touch with where they are. It's on their terms, but their terms are the whole environment around them. The person who is afraid of crises, then they are spiritually immature because they're out of touch with the fabric of what they are.
SC: You said it earlier – that we are the ground of our own being, our own environment. There is no separation.
JZK: There really isn't, and this is the new frontier that I think will be immensely important. It is actually already being broached in the black projects that are under way and have been under way for a while. But when you really talk about advanced civilization, technology, then you get down to the nuts and bolts of things. I mean, you don't see alien technology in terms of spark plugs and fossil fuel, do you?
We don't think of advanced technology in terms of shopping at the grocery store, do we? We think about the replicator on the Star Trek Enterprise, "Earl Grey, hot." We didn't see them on the Enterprise whipping things out in the kitchen. There were no cooks. There were no freezers for food.
This is such a lovely contemplation because as long as we have a vision of the way we think an advanced civilization would be, the closer to the mark of how it is to be. It isn't something we can't be a part of; it's something we decide that we want to be and that it's going to be part and parcel of our environment.
What that has to do with evolution is that if we think in terms of the whole of our social-conscious world right now, it doesn't even think in terms of the replicator. It's all about crops. What if we don't have to cut down the rain forest anymore? What if we don't have to take up enormous amounts of farmland? We can let it return to a natural species or introduce new ones. Those ideas should have already come.
It's hard to isolate ourselves as the center of the universe when in fact we are the universe.
In the black projects, they are already under way. The environment is basically those bands, those electromagnetic fields that, at the heart of it, is the craft, and at the heart of the craft are the beings who give life to the craft. The beings and the craft are the same thing, because we give off this enormous electromagnetic field and that field isolates it from time and space, which it actually does. So the field effect is being one with the field. The field effect is in complete harmony. That's why it's antigravity. It's in a bubble of space and time. Its field effect goes all the way back to the craft and to the beings inside. Now here we go. That's pretty awesome. We absolutely have that technology in the black projects. We have replicators in the black projects. We have craft that control time and space.
Why don't we use it? Because it would revamp the entire world's economy.
SC: Good.
JZK: You say so, but Goldman Sachs wouldn't. Exxon wouldn't. Wall Street wouldn't. People who invest in those companies wouldn't because it would ruin their holiday in the Caribbean. So we elect politicians that keep everything status quo. Politics is very rarely evolutionary. It's more or less tolerating the present and keeping that fixed.
I brought up this idea about what we imagine. It's kind of like asking a child how they think a UFO works. "What would great superstars from another civilization be able to do?" Children would tell you what they're able to do. The point is there is no lack in us to be visionaries; there's just no will to implement it.
Part of being connected is not to hold it to the status quo, that your reality and you are the same thing, but to advance it. The eagerness to advance the web of life and its ability to change, to augment, to be completely different has got all the ingredients just begging for somebody to bake a better cake.
We can't really change "out there" until we have redefined spiritual in ourselves, and then "out there." And when we do, we will have the same technology as the advanced civilizations inside the UFO that makes the field process that gives them a bubble outside of time and space. What's the prognosis on that? It's got to happen to us and make us uncomfortable before we're willing to change.
In fact, I never saw the black projects, Area 51, all the aliens, and all that stuff. People will say, "It's horrible, horrible." No it isn't. I thought it was the only way evolved people had to hide, to continue their own evolution to be in the stars and planets and to be in time. They really had to have no religious affiliation. The future destroys religion, because religion is based upon the ending of things and then a reward or punishment. If you give your power to that, then you get your just rewards. I think it's absolutely a crime to do nothing in this life and wait for your just rewards when it's all over with.
If you go further afield, or if you collapse time even faster, it gets really bizarre because it's like watching a fireworks display with about a billion of them going off all at once.
I think the greatest secret governments are way ahead because they're already out there getting just rewards and seeing and knowing marvelous things. But they can't do it for us because it will destroy our faith, which also means credit, which also means Wall Street, which means churches, which means politicians. I always thought it was really cool that there were people in this world that were really qualified for extraordinary discoveries, and they made themselves qualified for it. So in terms of making known the unknown, they are really getting with it. It makes me sad that we're so caught within our needy trap of identity that we can't expunge ourselves from our need to be rewarded by the adventure of space and the future.
I have seen such marvelous things. It's not so much that I can't talk about it; I just don't know how to talk about it. And then there are elements of our society that probably I should not even talk about or touch on that are shocking and surprising, but I think refreshing. It's this whole hidden agenda, you know, the black projects.
SC: But that's such an enlightened perspective.
JZK: Well, isn't that what we're supposed to be doing, making known the unknown? I think it's just about time that we opened the Pandora's Box and let the future come, and it should be all about great replicators and antigravity and greater beings that we can actually have a conversation with.
We can open our minds to greater things, that our spirituality is part and parcel of that, and the mind, like Ramtha teaches, is the ground of our reality. The bird who sings a song outside of my window is the song of my soul, and the light coming through the day is not a déjà vu through the branches. Today it is the poetry, that I'm actually part of something bigger this moment. I finally realized that after a billion times of experiencing it.
To me, I just think that when we give ourselves permission to not go along with the crowd and just think big and wonderful and find the biggest, brightest lines that give us a vision, we know that what we put in our minds is going be created out there in the world. We know that the moment we step out of the box of our identity and get big, we make it happen in our lives.
You cannot address the future unless you want to be present there. The future belongs to those who blow their mind in an unlimited, unfettered way to embrace outrageous design and they don't feel the least bit insecure about that.

Many people find passion in music but have no clue how to propel their career. Most believe that without a record deal from a large corporation like Sony or the Def Jams of the world, they can never realize their musical aspirations. In today's time that couldn't be further from the truth.
The Internet has leveled the playing field in many industries. Music just so happens to be one of them. In fact, it is at the forefront of pioneering the collapse of an industry that was once predicated on a systematic structure that made the mega players the only ones relevant to everyday listeners.
But now people are consuming music at a rate unseen before. In fact, people are constantly looking for new music every day. So much so, that they do not mind giving a chance to the amateur around the way who posts their videos on Youtube hoping to catch someone's attention. This has given everyone a shot to create a core audience for themselves.
More artists than ever are finding their niche and building fan bases that allow them to sustain quality lifestyles just from small gigs locally and beyond. These artists are finding that they are in fact able to get rid of a lot of the negatives that come from doing business with mid to large size music business entities. The equity split remains in their favor, and they are complete entrepreneurs. They will only eat what they kill, yet for many artists, they find it so much more rewarding when their passion begins to pay the bills and they managed to get there on their own.
This was an unforeseen revelation in the music industry. Everyone thought that the biggest artists would always belong to the historically great companies that have given us so many artists we know and love. However, artists are beginning to realize that the Internet has given them all of the power to create the career they dreamed of and beyond.
Music entities are chasing after artists with little money if they have managed to build out a core following in their cities. Mainly because of the new element of virality that comes into play, an artist with an underground buzz could blow up at any moment given how fast information gets passed along.
So the answer to the age-old question of how do I get my music off the ground is simple. Make good music, and share it with your immediate community. Continue to make quality music with great visuals on your own and someone will want to become a part in a relationship that remains highly beneficial for you but on a greater scale than what your finances may allow. Nonetheless, with or without the deal, you can have a great music career thanks to the technology that has taken the industry by storm.

Fisher House Groundbreaking
Yesterday was a significant day for the Jeffers' Family and many of you played a large part in it. Ground was finally broke for the new Fisher House of the Emerald Coast on Eglin Air Force Base here in NW Florida. The wonderful and giving community here has already donated tens of thousands of dollars to support this wonderful charity. Nearly eight thousand dollars has been given in memory of Sergeant Eddie Jeffers. We are so grateful to all of you and know that our Fisher House here in the Florida Panhandle will be a home away from home for our precious military families.
Here is the groundbreaking site:
Not Really Stealing
To piggyback on my last post, it seems that if someone steals during economic hard times it is the result of "survival panic." Leave it to a psychiatrist to come up with this doozie.
"Your honor, my client, while he indeed did take items from Krogers it was not because he is a thief, it is because he had a panic attack," presents the attorney, psychiatrist nodding in the afirmative.
Entitlement Epidemic
(Hat tip to Lance Fairchok for this)
I have forever been saying that if I could ban one word from the english language it would be "entitlement." If ever there was an example of what a social disease entitlement has become, the audio link below is it. Listen to this actual message left with a car repossession company. I have no words to describe my feelings.
Who Started Christmas?
Hat tip to one of my regular email buddies Pete whom many of you prayed for his wife Shirley when she was having heart trouble. This really helps to put Christmas into focus:
This morning I heard a story on the radio of a woman who was out Christmas shopping with her two children. After many hours of looking at row after row of toys and everything else imaginable. And after hours of hearing both her children asking for everything they saw on those many shelves, she finally made it to the elevator with her two kids.
Time for Some Political and Moral Clarity
America, including all you Obama mice, disconnect your four-point-of-contact and read slowly and out loud if necessary the two following articles.
This is what is called speaking the plain truth, something most of you under the age of 35 are very unfamiliar with so tighten up your seat belts and get out a snivel rag if necessary to dab your eyes.
Continue reading "Time for Some Political and Moral Clarity"
An Inconvenient Truth
A very interesting development over at the American Digest and a hat tip to Larwyn Greer once again for alerting many of us in the blogosphere about this. Vanderleun has found some very inconvenient information about the President-elect.
First remember yesterday Mr. Obama's statement referencing Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich's arrest on "for allegedly seeking money from potential candidates for the U.S. Senate seat that Obama had held until he was elected."
Mumbai Madness
A hat tip to Rurik for this slide presentation.
This is quite a thorough explanation of what happened to the TERRORIST ATTACKSSSSS in Mumbai (Bombay), India.
You are not going to see this in the mainstream media.
Christmas Dinner for Our Troops (Again)
Last year I posted an opportunity to make sure our troops in Hawaii, with many of them deployed, and their families had a wonderful Christmas dinner. That opportunity is available again this Christmas season. That seems fitting to post about today, the day that will live in infamy.
When I realize this need still exists it breaks my heart that our magnificent military families are still in financial need, especially around the holidays. Karen and I felt blessed to provide dinner for a family and many of you were so generous in your donations. Thank you!
The title is a rough translation for "Not Born Here" in Hawaiian. That is what the blog Earth Frisk is claiming and the evidence is compelling.
Summary of Life
It's been a few days since I last posted and I didn't want to start the week out with all the gloom and doom that the news is filled with so how about some funnies?!! A hat tip to Bob Cousin for these.

FC Porto are perfectly well aware of FC Bayern's great success in recent years. "We're talking about one of the best Bayern teams in the history of the club," declared coach Julen Lopetegui at Tuesday afternoon's pre-match press conference ahead of the Champions League quarter-final first leg tie, "we've got great respect for Bayern."
Respect indeed, but no fear. The team lying second in the Portuguese top flight have gained a huge amount of confidence in the past few months: Porto are unbeaten in the Champions League this season. "We don't stand a chance against Bayern? Why not? We're in with a shout and a good one at that," declared Dutch defender Bruno Martins Indi.
FC Porto are looking to give as good as they get, even if it is against one of the best teams in Europe. It will be a "tough challenge" according to Lopetegui, "but we intend to come out on top." The aim will be to prevent Bayern dominating possession. "And when we've got the ball we need to make the best use of it."
Jackson Martínez in the squad
Porto are clearly in better shape than Bayern in terms of personnel even though the loss of winger Christian Tello (leg) does hurt. Star striker Jackson Martínez, the top goalscorer in Portugal with 17 goals plus five in the Champions League this term, appears to be fit again after recovering from a groin injury. Lopetegui said Martínez would be in the squad at least.
"He's not just important because of his goals. Jackson can hold the ball up well, his distribution is good and he's crucial as an outlet," said the coach. In addition to Martínez, FC Porto also pose a threat up front through the Algerian Yacine Brahimi, while stalwart Ricardo Quaresma cannot be taken for granted either. FC Bayern are the favourites in this quarter-final clash but Porto are waiting to spring a surprise. "It's a great opportunity for me and my team-mates," said midfielder Hector Herrera.

Just as there's no such thing as a perfect garden, there's no perfect gardener either. We all make mistakes, but, in doing so, we learn which ones never to repeat, and along the way we discover savvy strategies to add to our gardening routines. So, what are vegetable gardeners' biggest blunders? I've made each of the following six common gardening mistakes, and after talking with thousands of organic gardeners, I know I'm not alone. Get a head start by learning from our errors instead of laboring through your own.
Spring fever inspires big dreams among gardeners, and it's easy to forget that every planting requires a commitment to future maintenance. Before you know it, your springtime aspirations will have turned into an overwhelming summer reality — weed, water, thin, plant, prune, stake and harvest, all at once and for weeks on end!
If you're a novice gardener, you'll greatly enhance your chances of success by starting small with only a few rows or beds, allowing yourself to focus on each individual crop you're growing and better understand its needs. Instead of trying out 10 unique tomato varieties and every hot chili pepper under the sun, pick one or two of each and build your plant-care confidence.
Another smart idea is to limit the number of different types of veggies you tend in each part of your growing season (spring, summer and fall, in most climates). Vegetable plants need the most attention during their first month in the garden, so by having only three to four juvenile crops going at a time, you'll be able to keep up without a hitch. For example, you might grow potatoes, salad greens and snap peas in early spring; peppers, squash and tomatoes in late spring through summer; and cabbage, carrots and spinach from late summer to fall.
To avoid taking on too much, some gardeners start by growing only in pots or containers, assuming this will be easier — but this often isn't true. A container limits the spread of roots and the plants can easily become water-stressed and quite warm on hot days, while the same plants grown in enriched, mulched beds would enjoy consistently cool roots. The crops that grow best in containers are heat-tolerant plants, such as eggplant, peppers and tomatoes, which can take warm root temperatures as long as they're given a large pot and plenty of water. But even still, you may need to water container-grown crops twice a day during summer's hottest stretches, which is a major commitment. Comparatively, you'd only have to water plants in garden beds a few times a week.
Instant "bag beds" are a better no-dig option than containers, because, with this method, you cut slits in the bottoms of the bags so roots can move down into the soil below. Plus, the bags can be mulched to help retain soil moisture.
Every climate is kind to some vegetables and cruel to others, which is why heat-loving okra plants are irrepressible in Memphis but struggle in Minneapolis. Choosing to grow crops that are adapted to your region is an excellent first step, but you will still need to take additional measures to protect plants from wild weather.
Springtime can be especially hazardous because beautiful, sunny days alternate with others that are cold or windy, or both. Placing milk jug cloches or row cover tunnels over spring seedlings will keep your plants' stress levels low, and, if you live in an area prone to storms, could shield your seedlings from getting pummelled by hailstorms, too. For some crops, row covers are an important step in pest prevention as well, so they'll do double duty for you as you become a more experienced gardener.
With warm-season crops, a common misstep is planting too early. You'll be better off waiting for warm weather to settle in and the soil to warm up than pushing for an extra-early start, because warm-natured plants will not grow in cold soil. Plants that need warm soil and weather include beans, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, melons, peppers and tomatoes. While you wait, you can plant any of these crops that do well in cool soil and can take a bit of frost: broccoli, cabbage, collard greens, kale, leeks, peas, radishes and spinach.
Especially for beginners, soil may be the most mysterious piece of the gardening puzzle. In addition to serving as comfortable digs for plant roots (airy, friable and able to hold moisture), it needs to provide your crops with nutrients.
The sure path to better soil starts at your compost pile, which is why newbie gardeners would do well to dive into composting the same year — or even the year before — they jump into gardening. If you can dig about a 1-inch layer of mature compost into your soil every time you plant, your soil quality will steadily improve. These frequent infusions of organic matter have a neutralizing effect on soil pH and also support beneficial soil organisms, especially earthworms and mycorrhizal fungi.
Another big key to creating super soil: Don't skip the mulch. Mulching liberally with grass clippings, straw, shredded leaves or other biodegradable materials will add even more organic matter to your soil over time. Plus, throughout the growing season, thick mulch will suppress weeds, hold in moisture, and help regulate soil temperature.
If you keep chickens, rabbits or other livestock, you can use their manure to make an organic soil amendment, too. To fully compost the manure, add just enough moisture and high-carbon organic matter (such as leaves or sawdust) to help it rot. Keep in mind that composted manure will retain more of its nitrogen if it's never leached by rain, so be prepared to store the finished product in containers or bags, or under a tarp.
Compared with animals, plants have skimpy appetites, because sunlight is their primary energy source. Yet plants do need three important nutrients — nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium — if they are to function as efficient photosynthetic factories. Dry organic fertilizers provide these and other important nutrients, such as calcium and magnesium, which are crucial for blemish-free tomatoes and sweet, thick-walled peppers.
Don't overdo it, though. Soil-testing labs tell us gardeners apply too much fertilizer far more often than too little. In general, apply organic fertilizer at the rate recommended on the label, and mix it into the soil just before the crop is planted. As the growing season progresses, fertilize a couple more times — especially for long-season crops — ideally at a crop's first fruiting and again as you gather your first harvest. You can do this simply by spreading a strip of organic fertilizer, such as grass clippings or mature compost, directly alongside your crops — a technique known as "side-dressing."
A young plant is a solar-powered being, and each new leaf is part of its expanding solar array. If plants grow too close together or are crowded by weeds, reduced sunlight and below-ground competition for water and nutrients can significantly stunt growth. This is why it's important to grow plants at the proper spacing when you're setting out seedlings, and to thin the crops you grow from seed, such as beets and carrots. Seed packets will usually tell you the optimal spacing. Thinning work is a bit painful, because you feel like you're killing half of your crop. Your harvests really will be bigger and better in the end, though, because your little seedlings will have the room they need to thrive.
Of equal importance is owning a good hoe so you can weed early and often to keep unwanted plants from stealing your crops' sun, water and nutrients. Then, as blooms and fruits appear, it's best to rely on mulch to suppress weeds. If you do a good job of weeding and prevent any weeds from going to seed, you'll have far fewer weeds the following year.
Wherever you garden, wild creatures are watching you work, waiting for their favorite meal to be ready. To find out which critters to expect, talk with neighbors about what kinds of wildlife are commonly seen in your area and what they like to eat.
In some parts of the Midwest, gardeners shy away from sweet corn because it invites raccoons, which will make off with cantaloupes, too. In Virginia, where I live, groundhogs have been known to level gardens overnight, and the deer regard snap beans as candy. If you can't fence out animal pilferers, you can protect your crops with chicken wire cages, row cover tunnels, or even enclosures made of burlap or other cloth stapled to wood stakes. If animals can't see plants they'd like to devour, they're more likely to leave them alone. If all else fails, motion-activated sprinklers that surprise invaders with a spray of water may help safeguard your garden.
Insect pests are sometimes even more troublesome than larger critters. Watch your plants closely for signs of pest damage, and lift up plant leaves to try to spot pest eggs on the undersides. Plus, plant some flowers! Most new gardeners are so enthusiastic about starting the journey to grow veggies that they skip planting flowers, or they relegate blooming beauties to "ornamental" areas of their yard. Instead, incorporate flowers into your garden plans from the get-go. Flowering plants draw in beneficial insects that not only boost pollination, but that actually eat crop-munching pests.

Award-winning garden writer Barbara Pleasant grows and preserves a bounty of fruits, vegetables and herbs in Floyd, Va. If you're a beginning gardener, we highly recommend her book Starter Vegetable Gardens.
Isg, don't complain about the snakes, they will keep many of the other critters away. And since bull and GARTER snakes are harmless, they can just be ignored.
I have had a snake or two take up residence near my garden. No insect pests would dare munch my veggies. However I am often startled by a bull snake or garden snake sunning themselves near my garden. And I often have to fish dry snake skins out of my pole beans.
this is a really good article but I think I'd rather see this in the spring than now that I've finished with my gardening season.
Great article but I'd rather see this in the spring than now that I've put my garden to bed.
Concerning pests such as rabbits and deer. I surrounded my garden with 24" chicken wire at ground level then put monofilament fishing line (12-15 lb) three lines roughly equally spaced from the wire to approximately 5 feet high. The chicken wire keeps the rabbits out and the deer will not cross the fishing line. The theory is they cannot see the monofilament line and when they bump against it they are confused and so won't try to jump it either. Don't know if that explanation is correct but the fishing line fence works for me. Incidentally when the line gets brittle from exposure I collect the long pieces and cut them into short pieces to avoid possible problems with an animal getting wrapped in it.
Testing the soil is a great way to make things easier and guarantee that things will grow. It takes a bit of time, but better than wondering why some things grow great and some do not. There is info on how to test without a kit....save your pocketbook, http://preparednessmama.com/testing-your-soil-ph-without-a-kit/
I'd say some are more misunderstood rather than mistakes. Eggplant, tomato and pepper in water reservoir containers have out produced garden bed plants 3 to 1 for me. Any brand works but I use Earth Boxes. Once the tomatoes get 6 feet tall (in New England and I have photos to prove it) I have to fill them once a day. If I go away I set up a drip waterer into the fill tube. Their design makes it so you can't over water in these boxes. More productive and lower maintenance than any bed. Want a garden bed that waters and feeds itself? Look into hugelkultur. Crowding crops? Intensive polyculture vegetable gardens harvest the most produce possible from a certain space. The plants are spaced so close the ground isn't visible. Less weeding, less watering, less work. And no mono-crops. Nature gardens in a diverse mixture for healthy plants and so should we. This polyculture will also keep pests from finding a mecca of their favorite meal laid out plant after plant in a row. And yup include flowers, even if you let some greens go past harvest, flower and go to seed. It's ok to let a few go on to do work for the greater good. I agree with taking on too much, but if you look there are lots of gardening ideas like the ones above that make a garden easier. Our conventional gardening methods of evenly space plants with lots of bare soil to weed and loose water have created a lot more work for ourselves. Definite good points, pick plants that want to live where you do. Compost (to mulch with too). A good fence can be a simple one for the big critters.

There is little doubt seatbelts reduce injuries in serious road accidents...Of course, in a very few incidences they actually cause more damage than not wearing one, but research in many countries around the world conclude the risks far outweigh the benefits of wearing one...
I for one would much rather take my chances of a sheared liver over being thrown into a windscreen and ending up non responsive any day...
I don't feel this is the NWO of Big Brother or whatever legislating in this case...I believe it is a case of statistics of road trauma around the world which has resulted in a concerted effort to implore people to wear seat belts in order to reduce the death toll from vehicle collisions...
Yes, I come from a family who lost someone to road trauma who was not wearing a seatbelt...Did this change my view of this ? No...I have always worn a seatbelt as both a driver and passenger since I got my license 18 yrs ago...

My thoughts on liturgy, music and the Church!

this morning (edited)
after hearing yesterday that some of the canons regular of sjc were coming into ann arbor, and wanted suggestions on places to visit, I found out at 8:45 am this morning they were going to say Mass at St. P. in 20 minutes.
(I won't tell you exactly what I was doing at 8:45 am, but let me just say it was a feat that I can not recreate that I arrived at St. P approximately 14 minutes after getting off the phone!)
The priest said a low mass, and then Fr. G, myself, their priest, and 8 brothers went out to the flim flam for breakfast. (I have never been out to breakfast with that many guys in cassocks and collars, and I probably never will again. tee hee.)
I guess that's the most ridiculous part of the story, but it was quite fun. especially hearing Fr. G. tell them some of his quite exciting stories from when he first arrived at St. P, and then laughing over them!
I should have waited before typing this post! The day was not yet done! Just as I was getting ready to put my leftover pasta in the microwave for dinner (yum,) I received a phone call from Fr. G asking me where we should tell the Canons to go /slash/ take them to dinner. After a great deal of discussion ranging from Qdoba to Coney Island to Buffalo Wild Wings, (I found the thought of the brothers sitting in a sports bar with way too many huge tvs to be hilarious!) we settled on the famous Blimpy Burger! you can't go to this city without going there! We all met up and drove over there, pretty much filling up the little restaurant. It took some time to explain how BB's works and to get all eleven of us through the line, but we eventualy had delicious burgers and fried veggies which subtracted ten years from each of our lives.
Fr. G. had to leave to get ready for Mass early, but one of the brothers mentioned to me that he had suggested the law quad as a neat place to see. I was pleasantly surprised to realize I had forgotten that as being fabulous architecture that the brothers would be interested in, and we were only two blocks away! After firmly warning them that there was a good chance it wouldn't even be open due to the holidays, and that they probably wouldn't see much anyhow because it was quite dark, we trekked over there. Sure enough, it was locked, but after I explained the size of the room and they could see the windows on the outside, they were rather impressed. We trotted back (trotted: because by this point we were quite cold,) back to our vehicles and wished one another well, and will hopefully (probably, as my life seems to go,) to see each other again.

Not fair! We would have loved to have been there. The only TLM I have been to, was at SJC.
Just last night during our rosary we prayed for the TLM in our diocese.
I'm sure it went very well Mara!
Your blog is lovely!
- The Dreamer said...
So... Did you veil? I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering.
- Mara Joy said...
I did not wear the veil. Half the reason was cuz they all sat in front of me during Mass, and the other was because I wasn't sure why I would start wearing the veil all the sudden at St. P, just cuz they were there.
It seemed rather fake.
- Jeanne said...
Does this mean there is a glimmer of hope that the TLM is back on track at St. P's? There hasn't been anything said about it since it was first mentioned in response to the Motu Proprio last July, followed by some mentioning of it again, then it seemed side tracked when Fr. G was sick. I was hoping that the changes being made at the 10:30 Mass are an indication that there was more to come. Please say it's true!
Yes, you will have such a breakfast again, Mara, all you have to do is come to the CMAA colloquium and hang out at the right table in the cafeteria....;o)

Grown using organic principles and permaculture practices
Grown using organic principles and permaculture practices
During a recent downtime period due to a knee injury Jade had to spend some time back in her hometown, Merimbula, NSW. As a result of spending many hours laid up on the couch she did some research on growing hops and through this thought of the possibility of growing them right there on the picturesque Bega Valley. It was just a mere idea and a potential "what if" but then further research and discussing the idea with her sister, Karen, and brother-in-law, Morgan, the idea went from dream to reality and Ryefield Hops was born.
Ryefield Hops is a family partnership based in Bemboka, NSW in the Bega Valley. The farm on which the hops are being grown is a 3rd generation dairy farm that in the past was a key supplier of milk to the local cheese factory – Bega Cheese. The farm no longer operates as a dairy farm and growing hops is an opportunity to revitalise and diversify the farmland. 2016 -2017 was the first growing season for Ryefield Hops and we expanded 6 fold the following season to grow into a commercially operating hops farm.
The farm is designed and developed using permaculture principles with a spray free philosophy. The hops yard is designed to maximise rainfall events by integrating swale drains along the contours above the mounds, using organic compost sourced from a compost worm farm in Canberra that collects commercial and residential organic waste and a no waste policy with all foliage fed to the beef cattle that are based on the property.
Ryefield hops harvested its first crop in 2017 with a successful crop of Cascade, Chinook and Fuggle. Saaz was planted in the second season and produced high yields in its first year. A bespoke drying rack was built above an old air hockey table. Ryefield's philosophy is "garden to glass" with the vision to work with local and regional brewers to create locally supplied quality craft beer ingredients.

'Ryefields' Farm has been in the Taylor family for three generations...
Ryefield Hops is a family owned and run business. We started growing hops in 2016 with our first harvest completed in 2017. We currently have three varieties of hops growing in a spray-free environment.
Jade has always had an interest in gardening, permaculture and growing sustainable produce. She fell into the craft beer industry through a friend 3 years ago and was immediately researching where and how hops grew.
Being from the far south coast of NSW and having an intimate knowledge of the climate she put two and two together and had the idea of growing hops in the Bega Valley,
Morgan grew up on Ryefield's and has always loved farm life. He moved away from Bemboka to complete a boilermaker trade and has recently moved back to the area with his family.
He is excited to see new life in the farm and is using his boilermaking skills to setup the hop trellis system and infrastructure. It was decided to use metal poles instead of the traditional wood poles because of Morgan's welding ability.
Karen has minimal experience in gardening and permaculture but was excited about the opportunity of establishing Ryefield Hops with her husband and sister. She is enjoying the steep learning curve growing hops.
Karen specialises in customer communication, marketing and business development.
A visual characteristic of the plant is its dark green elongated cones which contain moderate to somewhat high amounts of alpha acids compared to many other hop types. It has a pleasant, flowery and spicy, citrus-like quality with a slight grapefruit characteristic. The hop is good for both flavor and aroma uses.
Chinook is a bittering variety with aroma characteristics. A high alpha acid hop with a wonderful herbal, almost smoky character when used as an aromatic during the last few minutes of the boil when dry hoping. Excellent for hopping American-style Pale Ales, especially those brewed to higher gravities.
Fuggle is an aroma-type cultivar selected in England as a chance seedling in 1861. It reached its peak in the U.K. in 1949 when 78% of the English crops were grown as Fuggle. It is also marketed as Styrian Golding in the Slovenian Republic.
Superb in English-style ales, and lends a unique character not imparted by the more subtle American-grown Fuggles.
Use our hops in your craft beer fresh off the bine without being processed!
Ryefield Hops are eager to work with breweries to facilitate fresh hopped beer. This beer can only occur at harvest time each year (February/March) and the fresh hops should be brewed within 48 hours of picking. Contact us if you are interested in our fresh hops.
Our hops are dried to the optimum % dry weight and sealed in a vacuum bag. Dry hops should be stored in a fridge and will maintain their freshness and aromas for up to 12 months if stored correctly. Dry hops are available year round dependent upon quantities available.
We partnered with Beer Creative to release 'Perennial', a freshly hopped limited edition Rye IPA created with a 'garden to glass' philosophy. The fresh chinook hop cones were picked less than 24 hours prior to being added to the brew which added a resinous piney flavour and aroma to the IPA. Beer Creative are excited to develop a wet-hopped beer annually which will coincide with Ryefield Hops harvest each year.
We bought a few kegs of Perennial back home for the locals to sample which also gave us an opportunity to say thankyou to everyone who helped get Ryefield Hops off the ground. Dulcie's Cottage in Merimbula were our amazing hosts and are keen to hold a harvest celebration each year.
A specialty beer is currently fermenting using 100% NSW ingredients and is going to be released at Sydney Beer Week in October. Wildflower Brewing & Blending and Batch Brewing Co are collaborating using barley from Voyager Craft Malt, wild yeast foraged in NSW and our very own hops. The barrelled beer, Waratah, will be a limited release and all involved companies are very excited to be producing a product of place.
A night to celebrate all things NSW. Our Waratah beer will be released alongside an all-NSW menu featuring seasonal produce from Bemboka (where the hops are grown) and the Riverina (where the barley is grown). Each ingredient is being prepared into a celebratory dining experience by Bloodwood restaurant on October 24th. Seats are limited so reserve your spot now.
Bemboka, NSW, 2550
