I want to see how it resembles and differs from person-to-person. Has it frightened, or helped you in any way? I have experienced both the terror, and the beauty of the experience—
One definite thing I have noticed: frequency increases when I lie straight on my back for sleep. In fact, this is almost a guaranteed sleep paralysis for me.
I have heard that extra stimulation such as bright lights (sleeping in the daytime or with the TV on) increases frequency, but have not noticed this correlation personally.
What I really want to know is—what quirky and unusual things happen to you with the sleep paralysis experience? Please tell me the subjective details.
What did you see? What did you feel? What did you hear? And most importantly, how did it affect you emotionally? Did you see any relatives or friends—or anybody else?

Thanks for sharing. Have you heard Whitley Strieber's story? Read the book or seen the movie? If I'm not mistaken he refers to "blue doctors" as well

Oh wow! I saw something when I was a younger teenager that I often described as looking like a Jawa from Star Wars. It had a big cloak and hood; it was difficult to see a face though. Mine wasn't short. Mine was fairly tall. Fascinating!
Do you remember any details from the "outdoor school" you mentioned?

EVENT DATE: Oct 16, 2011
In Kansas City, Missouri we are organizing a flash mob to raise awareness of genetically engineered crops and the future of organic food. We invite you to join us on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/World-Food-Day-KC-2011-Flash-Mob/120505694707123
I am a mother. While trying to figure out what to feed my baby, I discovered that most of the corn grown in the US has been genetically engineered to produce it's own pesticide. I also became ill after consuming vast amounts of processed food. These two events prompted me to investigate the issue of genetic engineering in great detail. After months of intensive study of both personal testimony and independent scientific journals, have I have come to the conclusion that we must stop genetically manipulating organisms and we must once again return to organic farming on a world-wide scale. Why? It is now apparent to me that by mutilating the natural DNA of organisms, we are causing great damage (Google: BT cotton).
Genetic engineering promotes excessive pesticide use because the seeds are engineered to be resistant to the pesticides. They are bought as a package, thereby doubling profits. When farmers are lured into buying GMO seeds they become dependent upon companies. For tens of thousands of years farmers shared seeds freely. Now, patents are applied, farmers buy GM seeds + pesticides and the earth suffers, our health suffers, the bees vanish, butterflies become a rare sight. The only ones who profit are the multi-national corporations. Sound like fiction? In one part of China the bees have been wiped out from pesticides. Humans now pollinate pear trees. How bad does it have to get? Do we really want humans to pollinate our crops instead of bees? The bees on organic farms are not suffering from Colony Collapse Disorder. The bees that are suffering are the ones recruited to pollinate the conventional and GM crops. This way of growing food is damaging the entire ecosystem and Mother Nature is indeed, very very wounded, and yes, angry.
But there is a solution: organic farming is how we all got here to planet earth and organic farming will save us. If we pay attention now. The great thing is that if you are poor and cannot give money, you can visit us on facebook and contribute your creativity. We are looking forward to what you express. We are excited by the possibility of understanding how world citizens are dealing with this problem:
My method is to create two portals, one for each group of people. For people who have money to give, we receive donations and for those who do not have money, we ask for creativity donations. At the same time, we are allowing the citizens of the world to download our designs, stock images and posters for free. This creates an open exchange of ideas, expressions, impressions and allows us to interact in a new way. Our creativity remains one of the last resources that has not been commodified. We welcome anyone and encourage all to express themselves, even if they do not consider themselves to be creative. Every person has a unique talent that can be shared with others. This richness of diversity is the fabric of humanity.

Data Entry for an Insurance Company
Our client was a well-established insurance company, based in Canada and has been providing unique and consistent services to their customers such as the consumers, brokers, independent financial advisors, trade unions, and much more.
Their insurance company encircled two areas of the financial services – General Insurance and Life and Pension insurance. The company maintained and controlled a database which stored the details of nearly 3 million insurance customers.
The insurance company approached us with various requirements such as cleansing the data error and ensuring that the database was correct and precise. They also wanted us to regulate, verify, and validate the details of every consumer against all the trustworthy information sources. Due to the increasing amount of bulk data entry work, the client faced innumerable difficulties such as managing the data, combining the various databases of information, removing the duplicates and invalid entries, and adding the meta data.
To handle the issues with utmost care, we created an exclusive team comprising of the dedicated data entry experts, to work on this project. Our extraordinary solutions include:

Skin care encompasses everything from facials and peels, to laser services such as laser peels, broad band light treatment, and laser hair removal. Our skin care is administered by licensed professionals with years of experience and familiarity with all varieties of skin conditions. Maintenance of in-office services is offered through several lines of products only available at a physician's office.
The Halo laser treatment by Sciton combines deep dermal rejuvenation with epidermal renewal targeting discoloration, sun damage, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, poor texture, fine lines and visible signs of aging. Great results with minimal downtime.
Micro Laser Peel
Removes layers of damaged skin to improve texture and provide a more youthful appearance. As the skin heals, fresh cells grow and resurface the treated area. The result is healthier looking skin, often with reduced wrinkles and improved color evenness
Profractional Laser
This laser treatment pinpoints thousands of areas on your skin, using light to disrupt damaged skin. Because only a fraction of the skin is directly treated with the laser, the surrounding tissue promotes rapid healing. The skin's wound response creates new collagen which add firmness and resilience to the skin.
Photo Rejuvenation/BBL/IPL/Forever Young
Specific wavelengths of light that target the hemoglobin and melanin in the skin, often referred to as the "reds and browns". When the light hits the pigments within the skin, destroys the excess pigmentation and stimulates the growth of new cells.
Skin Tyte
Utilizes infrared energy to deeply heat dermal collagen. This process promotes partial denaturation and contraction of collagen. The heat also initiates the body's natural healing process, which creates a renewed collagen foundation leading to increased skin firmness
Medical Facial
Using medical grade skin care products specific to your skin, treatment includes cleansing, exfoliation, steam, extractions (if needed), treatment mask and leave-on skin care products.
A resurfacing procedure thoroughly cares for your skin, providing cleansing, exfoliation, extractions and hydration all while infusing your skin with antioxidants, peptides and Hyaluronic acid. Amazing for our dry climate!
Microdermabrasion, Dermaplaning, Dermafile
Procedures using an abrasive hand piece, wand or surgical blade all for the purpose of exfoliating the top, dead layer of skin to treat acne, reduce the appearance of fine lines, scars, hyperpigmentation and other skin conditions. Dermaplaning in addition removes the fine facial hair. All procedures leave the skin with an immediate, more radiant appearance.
Procell Microchanneling/Needling
Creating invisible micro-perforations to stimulate cells that activate the production of new collagen and elastin. Improves the appearance of aging skin, increases vitality, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tones, acne and scarring with no down time!
Chemical Peels
Create an even, controlled shedding of several layers of damaged skin exposing new, fresh skin with more even skin color and smoother texture. We offer many options of peels for all skin types and conditions.
Lash and Brow Tinting
Bring out the best in your eyes with a lash and/or brow tint using only dyes created specifically for the sensitive eye area.

The old rule of thumb was you don't talk about religion orpolitics in polite company. But in presidential politics, nothingis off limits and nothing is sacred. Not even the Thanksgivingdinner table.
Hillary Clinton is offering supporters a guide to talking toRepublican relatives at their holiday table.
Sign up and we'll sendyou a guide to winning your Thanksgiving table debate: https://t.co/IPQg6CYgzM
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November25, 2015
After you enter your email address you are first offered theoption to donate to her campaign. If you decline and close thewindow you are emailed a link to post on her campaign websiteentitled, "How to win a Thanksgiving debate with Republicans:Tips from Hillary Clinton's communicationsteam."
The post is subtitled, "Talking points for theconservative cousin who wants to know if Hillary wears awig," a reference to stories popularized by Matt Drudge that Hillary Clintonwears a wig on the campaign trail.
So what does Team Hillary think will win debates with GOP familymembers? The post starts, "Thanksgiving dinner inevitablycomes with a side of uncomfortable political conversation.Christina Reynolds, Hillary's deputy director ofcommunications, is here to help with some answers to your FAQs(Family's Awkward Questions)."
First on the list of FAQs is the wig question. "RushLimbaugh says Hillary Clinton wears a wig. Is that true?"
The answer:
As Hillary herself has noted on a number of occasions, while thecolor may not be real, the hair is.
Next comes a question on her record, "What the heck hasHillary even done, anyway?"
The answer:
The real question is,what hasn't shedone? She was a leader in the Senate and the Obama administration,for starters. As a senator from New York, she helped secure $20billion in federal aid to rebuild after 9/11 and to care forresponders. She helped create the Children'sHealth Insurance Program (CHIP), which covers more than 8 millionkids and cut the children's uninsured rate inhalf. She negotiated a 2012 ceasefire between Israel and Hamas assecretary of state.
As Marco Rubio put it, "if this election is aresume competition, then Hillary Clinton is going to be the nextpresident.â€
Third comes the gender card, though not in the form of aquestion. "I just don't think America is ready for awoman president."
The response:
Really? So you don't think America is readyfor a president with four decades of experience fighting forfamilies and children? That's a shame.
Fourth is a swipe at GOP frontrunner Donald Trump. "OK, soDonald Trump is too much. But the other guys have some goodideas."
The answer:
To steal a line from Hillary, the rest of the Republican fieldis just Trump without the pizzazz or the hair.They've proposed massivetax cuts for the top 1 percent and they'rebending over backward to say extreme things that appeal to therightest end of the right wing. Frankly, there'snot much daylight between the Republican candidates at all.
Fifth is about Planned Parenthood, another statement."I'm sick of her defending PlannedParenthood."
The answer:
Hillary believes—just like millions ofAmericans do—that women should have the right tomake their own health care decisions. And Planned Parenthood is avital provider of women's health care.
Sixth is another gender issue. "Why does she keep talkingabout equal pay and other 'women'sissues'?"
The answer:
Equal pay, paid leave, and child care are not"women'sissuesâ€â€"they'reeconomic issues. Beyond the fact that it's justnot right that women make 78 cents on average for every dollar thatmen make (and that women of color lose out even more), Hillarywants to close the gender wage gap because when women make lessthan men, their families (and our economy) pay a price.
The seventh and final talking point is another gender question."Do you really think she can be agrandmother and the president?"
The final answer:
You're joking, right? Since youasked, at least a dozen U.S. presidents werealso grandparents.
Now get yourself a second helping of yams and stop asking sillyquestions.

I have my PC, my fiancees laptop and PC, and my mums PC running the same software. It has been running the software for a long time but today every single machine fails to start into Windows, and begins automatic repair but cannot repair anything in the end. I booted into safe mode tried ticking launch services only on MSConfig, restarted but no luck. I disabled Comodo and Avast restarted and managed to get back into Windows, and uninstalled Avast.
I then ticked Comodo to renable it and restarted the PC and that loaded up no problem, which tells me something has gone wrong with Avast. Last night I did have a strange firewall alert for Avast but I accepted it because I thought it would be trusted.
The alert I got was a connection request for:
C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\Setup\2dc10cdb-b87a-4327-8a36-0358ccb8a9f9.exe
Not saying it could be that but I have never had anything like this ever! Especially the way it managed to stop 4 windows machines booting into Windows. I checked Avast Forums, Comodo Forums, tried searching Google for the error for the last 24 hours to see if anyone else had the same issues. Never did find anything though. Really strange.
Fixed 2 PC's so far luckily. Even when using MSConfig and selecting to startup absolutely no startup items, it goes in a reboot loop. Comodo won't let me uninstall in safe mode, however Avast does and as soon as Avast was uninstalled the system booted to windows fine.
Found the forum post on Avast reporting this:

There are many places on campus to score a date. You just need to get your mojo on and carpe diem. The hot dates you're looking to score aren't hiding from you; they're in the dorms, libraries, dining halls and at the football games.
Finding Love in the Dorms
The dorms are a great place to score a date. Since many dorms are co-ed, host a party. The trick here is not to post signs for the party, but go door-to-door and do your inviting. If you meet someone you're interested in, spend a bit more time talking to them and put the feelers out. If the conversation is going well, you can ask them out on a date right then and there or wait for the party to get to know them better.
If there's no one in your dorm that you're interested in, consider the other dorms. Get creative. You can always bake cupcakes and set up a table outside the dorm. When students come by to grab some free cupcakes, strike up a conversation with the one that strikes your fancy. If you're a guy and baking is not your thing, just get creative. You can always set up a table with free flyers on how to get the best internet service. The goal is to create the opportunity to meet prospective dates.
Book Lovers
Many students frequent the campus libraries to study, research or do assignments. Gather all your school paraphernalia and head to the library. In a nonchalant way, you can stroll the library while looking for someone you may be interested in. Once the radar beep goes off, sit at the table your prospect is at or nearby. It's easy to start a conversation in the library. You can ask if they've got a sheet of paper or how to use the library computer. Just keep the conversation light. If you feel the timing isn't right to ask for a date, leave them with your name and cell number on a sheet of paper.
Don't forget about the cute student librarians that work in the library. Many of these students are on a work-study program and will be happy to help you find the books you need. It's another opportunity to score a date.
Romance in the Dining Halls
All students have to eat and prospective hot dates can be found during breakfast, lunch or dinner. So you've got several opportunities throughout the day to score a date. Strike up a conversation with a prospect while waiting on line for your food. Eye the dining hall and look for someone who strikes your interest. Sit nearby them and strike up a conversation. Find out what their major is and what their interests are. If you're heading out to a party that night, invite them to go along with you.
Scoring Points at the Football Game
Hundreds of students attend their college football games. Dress up in your college's sport colors and get ready to score a date at the game. Check out the stands and sit near someone you may be interested in. Start talking to them about the game and see where the conversation leads. You can also volunteer to work at one of the food stands and do your prospecting that way. Keep a card with your name on in that you can give out, even if it's something simple like offering tutoring services.

The number of children that can share a room depends on the size of the room and the nature of the relationships between the children. If one particular child is acting out, then it might not be a wise idea to put that child the same bedroom as other children.Continue Reading
Younger children are more compatible with sharing a room because they may be afraid of sleeping alone. According to Baby Center, twins often room together because they have so much in common. Once children reach school age, they may not want to share a bedroom with a sibling because of the need for independence.Learn more about Child Care

Chris Wines
Campus Co-ordinator of the Master of Teaching (Secondary)
Location: Mt Helen Campus, T Building, Room T305
Study area: Education
Phone: 5327 6085
Email: email@example.com
Chris has been a Science and Maths teacher for over 25 years in the Ballarat region. He has been working as a lecturer at Mt Helen in a partnership arrangement with local secondary schools for over 10 years. Chris cherishes this opportunity to continue teaching in schools whilst working in Teacher Education.
Chris works within the MTeach(Secondary) team where most of the PST experiences happen in partnership schools, mainly Ballarat High School. This in-school, immersive approach to initial teacher education is proving to be extremely effective. It allows the PSTs and Teacher Educators to engage with the realities and issues associated with schooling first hand and rub shoulders on a daily basis with students, teachers and school leaders. It is also the focus of a number of areas of research collaborating with Dr Amanda McGraw and Dr Sharon McDonough. Chris teaches science curriculum and professional learning community subjects within this program.
Apart from school-university partnerships, Chris is passionate about researching in the Science Education space. He is currently in the final stages of completing a 3 year, OLT funded, collaborative project with the RUN universities titled: "It's Part of My Life: Engaging university and community to enhance science and mathematics education", the final report being due in June. The success of this project has enabled a new approach to helping PSTs increase their confidence and competence in teaching Maths and Science and has been embedded into a number of courses within the School of Education. This was achieved with the help of Bruce Schmidt and Dr. Rob Davis.

I started reading this book, at the same time as reading another. I don't usually read two or more at a time, but it happens now and then ...usually when it sparks an interest where I just can't hold myself back
It's written by author John Gould Fletcher, and brings a telling of the complex life of Gauguin, from sailor to artist. I always had an particular interest in his work; and in the mid 1970's, I saw a television movie or docudrama, that intrigued me in what made the man. This book is helping to fill in the blanks, and the puzzle makes more sense.
For instance.... I wasn't aware of the depth of his interest in sculpture. I knew he sculpted, but didn't know it was a greater interest to him than I thought. The artists of that time were moving away from marble, yet that is exactly where he concentrated... so perhaps it's no great pizzle why we are more familiar with his painting.
The book filled in the pieces to the wealth of his wife's Peruvian family and it's influence in his not only affording the opportunity to explore (while working as a non-artist), but also in meeting up-and-comers of the time like Manet.
I'm up to the oint (around 1898) where he's divorced from is wife, and her money, and in Paris as a fulltime (literally...) starving artist....and that's only an eighth of the way into the tome!

Playing hooky or taking a field trip? Or just living life? Hmmm.....
So I'm reading all these fantastic homeschooling blogs and I keep seeing pics of graduating 8th graders. These kids look so happy and awesome in their caps and gowns and I'm thinking Oh, how wonderful! And then I'm thinking We didn't do that. Should we have done that? I'm trying to hard to think of what we did do when professor made the big leap from 8th grade to high school (just last year) and I'm thinking we pretty much didn't do anything at all. We did have a Confirmation party and gifts though and that was pretty fun. And I'm sure we must have said something like Next year is officially high school! even though he'd kind of been doing a little high school level work already.
It's all very confusing.
I admit that I'm a wannabe unschooler and I think it oozes out into everything we do. We certainly "do" school but my spirit is constantly staging an interior rebellion against lesson plans and testing. The result is that I vacillate between uber relaxed mode and freak out control mode. The freak out is always a direct consequence of some external expectation that I'm not sure we've satisfied. My temper flares because I am not actually unhappy with our approach of life as school and I feel forced to comply with requirements that don't always fit with what I think is a better plan. I realize that our way of life doesn't always look like what the world expects and I start passing on my anxiety to the kids.
On the other hand, I understand that there are certain keys which open certain doors in life. If my kids want to go to college or enter specific careers, they will have to acquire those keys.
I imagine that homeschooling would be a little easier for us if I just picked one approach and stuck with it. Maybe. On the other hand, many of the families I know who are putting their kids into school after a period of homeschooling have used formal programs and checked off their boxes far better than I have. Some of them are tapped out and feeling inadequate. Perhaps parenting is just tough no matter which method you choose. It's a path of sacrificial love and takes all at every moment to discern well for the kids according to family and individual need and temperament.
But the fact remains... I am stuck somewhere in the middle of pulling off a somewhat school-ish looking academic year and gladly allowing "school" to become subservient to life. The 8th grade graduation thing must have fallen during the latter mood.
People keep asking me if we have finished up school for the year and I keep stuttering stupid responses like: Uh... no. Well, yes, I guess... or we've actually just tapered off because lots more fun stuff keeps popping up. So, no, not really because we do keep working on Math and English through the Summer. But probably... for the most part.
The scary part is that I'm telling the absolute truth. I have just stopped looking at the year in that concrete way until I'm in a situation where I must. And then the honest to goodness truth is that our school year doesn't generally stop and start like it does in the rest of the world.
Professor is technically finishing up his first year of high school but while time passes in that linear fashion, his education is much more layered and continuous. Would I have liked him to finish up some math today? Sure... but instead, I let him sleep in a little long because we all stayed up way late hanging out with two of the coolest priests in town (not an opportunity to be missed). Then he did some prep for a meeting with the director of Cleveland Right to Life that was scheduled for this afternoon... after which, he headed off to a radio station for an hour interview which is airing tomorrow... and then he'll go to his part-time job as a referee. And I just can't get upset about the math, you know? He tells me "It'll get done, mom." I'm still not sure it will, but still... I see this kid doing and learning like a gigantic sponge and I'm okay.
I know a very excellent and loving father whose wife used to home educate their many children. He told me that she just felt overwhelmed by it all but that someday, when he wins the lottery, he's going to pull them out of school and unschool them because he thinks it's a beautiful idea. That's kind of how I feel. Someday, when we win the financial, mental, emotional, and political lottery... we're gonna just dump the workbooks and LIVE school.
It's my pipe dream. I've written about it so many times before. In the meantime, I have another 8th grader coming up next year and I wonder if she'd like to "graduate" or just gently move on. Perhaps we'll just have a rockin' Confirmation party.

Polaris is more commonly known as the North Star. It remains almost motionless over time as other stars in the sky seem to rotate around it. The star is very helpful because it has been used as navigation for ships and travelers. Find Polaris and you can navigate your way. It is a constant. I have never been successful at finding other constellations but I can always find the big dipper and this bright star.
In the same way, Jesus remains constant in our lives. Colossians 1:16 says, "For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities — all things were created through him and for him." He has always been there and always will be there. Malachi 3:6 says, "I am the Lord, and I do not change."
Last summer, we were in New Mexico and had the opportunity to camp out on a sailboat for a few days. Every night we would lay on the boat deck and look up at the numerous stars. We would watch for shooting stars and sometimes see a satellite that was flashing by. It was a peaceful time because it reminded me that God knows every single star in the sky just like He knows us and yet, He still provides us with the constant, unchanging star to guide our way.
Even in the midst of life struggles and times when you don't know if you can deal with the changes that are happening, we can be assured that God doesn't change in His compassion for us. He is always there, always constant — just like that star in the sky. Look up, see the bright star shining down on you.

Rangers vs Indians Major League Baseball Betting Free Pick
After a thrilling weekend of Week One National Football League action we turn back to Major League Baseball for today's free pick. It's another of those first versus worst match-ups that we love as the Cleveland Indians visit the Texas Rangers at 8:05 PM EDT on Tuesday, September 11, 2012, from Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Rangers roll in this contest tonight!
Texas Rangers: Fending off Athletics in AL West
Though they once had a comfortable lead in the American League West, the Texas Rangers are now in a battle to hold off the Oakland Athletics who have pulled to within three games of the defending AL Champions. Rangers pitching ace Matt Harrison (15-9 ERA 3.37) has struggled recently with an 0-2 record and a gaudy 9.00 ERA over his last two starts. Harrison has been good to us this season and we like him to get back on track in this one.
Cleveland Indians: Battling Twins for last place in the American League
A season to forget continues for the Cleveland Indians as they are battling the Minnesota Twins for the worst record in the American League. RHP Ubaldo Jimenez (9-15 ERA 5.58) gets the call for the Tribe and is currently riding a three game win-less streak. Once the ace of the Indians rotation, Jimenez has won just twice since the beginning of July. The Rangers lead the Majors with a .275 team batting average and we don't see Jimenez lasting long tonight.
Texas vs. Cleveland Advantage Sports Betting MLB Free Pick
Top ranked online sports wagering websites, recommended here at Advantage Sports Betting, have Texas as huge home chalk in this contest. The Rangers are the best bet on the Major League Baseball betting schedule tonight. We will double our normal wager and back the Boys from the Lone Star State to crush Cleveland with the betonline.ag -226 Money Line!

Scheduled flight from Germany to Vancouver
Overnight stay with breakfast
Charter flight to Nome/Alaska/USA, departure 17.00 hrs
Alaska (Point Hope, Barrow)
A legend brought to life
The Northwest Passage: this region has captured the heart and soul of great seafarers. And when the BREMEN sets sail for an adventure in the wilderness between the Canadian Arctic and Greenland's glacial coastline, you can also add your own chapter to the history of this special sea route. With the highest ice class plus a crew experienced in polar voyages and who react to new nautical challenges every day. Pack ice that forms suddenly, sparkling ice formations, fantastic views of gigantic glacier cliffs. On this challenging route, the captain and officers will decide which course to take, based on the weather and ice conditions. It's an adventure in which you yourself are the explorer. At the beginning of your expedition, you will discover the ingenuity of the Inuit people in Point Hope, a settlement whose dune-like earth igloos are made partly out of whale bones. Barrow, one of the northernmost cities in the world, also has links to these giants of the sea. Many pods of whales swim by every summer, and with a little luck, you will be able to observe them from the deck.
Relaxation at sea
Northwest Passage – from the Beaufort Sea to Foxe Basin
(Canadian Arctic, including Herschel Island, Franklin Bay, Victoria Island, Jenny Lind Island, cruising in the Victoria Strait, Gulf of Boothia, Fury and Hecla Strait, Igloolik, Melville Peninsula)
The many Zodiac rides and landings – at Herschel Island, for example – will ensure that you enjoy even more intense experiences. Accompanied by Canadian rangers, you will explore a former whaling station – perhaps as rough-legged buzzards circle overhead. Throughout the entire route, the BREMEN follows in the wake of famous explorers who gave their names to many of the places along the way. When you are cruising in the Beaufort Sea, for example, you will notice that Beaufort the explorer also gave his name to the scale used to measure wind speed. In Franklin Bay, the history of Franklin the explorer hangs in the air along with gases given off by the Smoking Hills, produced by layers of rocks containing pyrite. Together with the experts accompanying you on the cruise, you will lift the veil on the Inuit culture on Victoria Island. In the settlement of Holman, you will get an exciting glimpse into local handicrafts, while in Cambridge Bay you will learn about the "Copper Eskimos" and their tools, as well as about musk oxen. This historic area also bears witness to the bravery of Roald Amundsen – and his eventual fate. On Jenny Lind Island, you will enter the habitat of Arctic foxes, reindeer, Arctic hares and snowy owls. Will the "King of the Arctic" also make an appearance? On this cruise it is always worth looking out for polar bears. You will follow further in the footsteps of famous explorers at the entrance to Victoria Strait, where the "Erebus" – the ship from the Franklin expedition – once froze in the ice. While you are cruising in the strait, the tension will increase on board: will it be possible to pass through the narrow Bellot Strait, or will the ice conditions mean that the ship has to take the route through Peel Sound? Driven by curiosity and pioneering spirit, the BREMEN will dare to follow a new course beyond the usual routes, making the most of its highest ice class and its skilled crew. A new route to adventure
The very things that made journeys uncertain and risky for seafarers in the past are what make your expedition exciting today. Will the weather and ice conditions allow us to pass through the Gulf of Boothia along the remote western side of Baffin Island? The ship's route is planned based on the experiences it will give you, and you can expect to see amazing sights, such as in the Fury and Hecla Strait. In 1822, the members of the Parry expedition, who were looking for the Northwest Passage, became the first Europeans to spend the winter in Igloolik. You can see for yourself how hospitable the Inuit are here, at the "place of the igloos". Regular "visitors" to the Melville Peninsula include polar bears and walruses. Here – and throughout the cruise – the BREMEN will heave to for animal sightings. This means that you can easily observe sea eagles, seals and whales.
Hudson Strait (Cape Dorset, Diana Island, Akpatok Island)
In the region around Cape Dorset, settlers from 3,000 years ago left their mark at the beginning of the Hudson Strait. Remnants of the Dorset and Thule peoples have been found here. An atmospheric demonstration of traditional throat singing will provide an exciting cultural experience. On Diana Island, you will be able to experience how the pioneers felt all those years ago. In the middle of the tundra, you will keep a lookout for common ringed plovers, musk oxen and reindeer. Akpatok Island is characterised by a sublime landscape. Go out on a Zodiac ride and marvel at the limestone cliffs. There is a good chance of spotting a polar bear again here, before the BREMEN continues along the Hudson Strait.
Relaxation at sea

* Depending on the flight schedule, it may be necessary to change the destination airport (return flight). Important note on this expedition: For the first time, the BREMEN will tackle a new route through the Northwest Passage, which leads from the Bellot Strait in a southerly direction through the Fury and Hecla Strait into Foxe Basin, and then continues through the Hudson Strait. To ensure the greatest possible safety, the ship management will ultimately decide on the spot which route is possible. If the Fury and Hecla Strait is not passable, the BREMEN will head for the Peel Sound/Prince Regent Inlet and then take an alternative route – just as action-packed – north through the Canadian Arctic up to Lancaster Sound. The captain will decide on the best possible alternative.

I wanted to take a quick moment and express my gratitude for all of the wonderful support and cross-promotion that I have received for my new service All-Access Battlefield Tours. From Troy Technologies and the Civil War Trust, to the Fredericksburg Tourism Bureau, I am blessed to have so many outstanding folks in my corner. AABT is already receiving international press-coverage and the buzz is growing. After months of preparation I am beyond excited for the official launch on September 1, 2011. I am also grateful to have the participation of battlefield guides Mark Jones and John Cummings.
It's no easy thing to start a small business in Virginia, especially a tour guide service that caters specifically to wheelchair travelers. You need to create an LLC, obtain a business license, get your NPS tour permit, and find affordable commercial liability insurance. Then you need to get accessibility expertise, petition for the proper equipment, create all of the necessary media materials and advertise with both history and disability-focused publications. Next you plot your tours, prepare client handouts, hire assistant guides, and study-study-study your material. It takes a lot of money, and time, and effort, but if you do it right, the benefits are priceless. I love hiking battlefields and giving tours, so that part of the job is not "work" in the purest sense. All of the 'other stuff' that goes along with being a small business owner is.
So why did I decide to open a weekend business during one of the worst economies ever, in an area that is struggling to maintain its tourism dollars, doing something that no one else is doing? I guess it was a simple case of supply and demand. I saw a need and felt that I could fill it. People immediately saw the same potential and supported me in any way they could. My goal was to make sure that everyone has an equal opportunity to enjoy our area's hallowed grounds, regardless of their mobility issues. Thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of others I can now do that. Everyone with a disability should be able to visit these battlefields and have an enjoyable and safe experience, not just during the Sesquicentennial, but from here on in.
I am already looking at expansion options to include incorporating the CWT's new Fredericksburg Battlefield Apps into the narrative of my tours. I would love to use the program's outstanding maps and video to compliment the guide's photo book that I have already created. This capability would be especially beneficial to guests who may also have sensory or comprehension concerns. *If you know of anyone willing to donate or lend us an iPad for this purpose, please email me here.
We are also planning on working with the Wounded Warriors Program and the Paralyzed Veterans of America and will be appearing in their publications such as PN Magazine.
The next couple weeks will be filled with final preparations, but just as with my book or film projects, the end result will be a culmination of the expertise, generosity, and support of others. Tours will begin booking on September 1 for the month of October. Each wheelchair traveler will receive a special guest packet that includes historical maps, information on NPS site accessibility accommodations, travel wheelchair literature and more. I ask that you spread the word to whomever you feel may be interested. You can follow the evolution of this venture over on the AABT's blog.

You read the following account published in the newspaper given by an attorney general: "Communists are everywhere-in factories, offices, butcher shops, on street corners, in private businesses. At this very moment they are busy at work—undermining your government, plotting to destroy the liberties of every citizen, and feverishly trying in whatever way they can, to aid the Soviet Union." A couple days later, you read in the newspaper about a senator from Wisconsin who said: "I have here in my hand a list of 205 . . . a list of names that were made known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping policy in the State Department." How does this make you feel? How would you react? Write your response in your notebook. Essential Question: What happened during the Second Red Scare and what events caused it to occur? A Second Red Scare: 1950U.S. citizens in 1950s feared 1956 Communists wanted to take over the world. This fear became known as the Second Red Scare. Spies like Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and Alger Hiss caused fear that our government was infiltrated by the Communists The National Security Act of 1947 Truman argued national security demanded huge increase in size of federal govt., including military forces and surveillance agencies 1947: Act established Department of Defense and National Security Council to administer and coordinate defense policies and advise president Created Central Intelligence Agency (CIA): operation devoted to collecting political, military, and economic information for security purposes throughout the world.

South Vietnam problems The people of South Vietnam hated South Vietnamese president Ngo Dinh Diem. He was corrupt and did not govern in the best interest of the citizens. A Buddhist monk commits suicide in protest to the harsh policies of the S. Vietnamese government Diem was disliked because he discriminated against the Buddhist population Some Buddhist monks protested Diem's rule by setting themselves on fire Gulf of Tonkin Incident In August of 1964, Pres.

Vietnam of attacking the U.S., Johnson asked Congress to give him the authorization to use force to defend American forces When, in August of 1964, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, Congress handed over war powers to the president The President had the power to send U.S. troops into battle without a declaration of war Operation Rolling Thunder The U.S. bombing campaign conducted against the North Vietnam from 1965 until 1968 Operation became most intense air/ground battle waged during the Cold War The three-year assault was intended to get North Vietnam to stop supporting South Vietnamese guerrillas Vietcong Guerrilla army based in South Vietnam (also known as the NLF) that fought the U.S. and South Vietnamese governments during the Vietnam War The Vietcong were South Vietnamese communists who fought for Vietnamese unification on the side of the North Vietnamese Vietcong Advantages They were familiar with the landscape (rivers, lakes, etc.) They could find a safe haven in Cambodia, Laos or South Vietnam They could often count on the support of the local population Ho Chi Minh Trail Path that ran from North Vietnam to South Vietnam through Laos and Cambodia system providing manpower and materiel to the Vietcong Red line indicates Ho Chi Minh Trail through Laos and Cambodia A look at the Ho Chi Minh Trail from road level, with camouflaged convoy truck approaching. Tet Offensive January 30 – June 8, 1968 In early 1968, the Vietcong and the North Vietnamese launched a surprise attack throughout South Vietnam during the Tet, which is the Vietnamese New Year Tet Offensive While the Vietcong suffered heavy losses, it was a major political victory for the Vietcong Tet was the turning point in the war and showed that the U.S. was nowhere close to winning the war The Tet Offensive in 1968 was a surprise attack by the Vietcong throughout South Vietnam Credibility Gap Opposition to the Vietnam War grew in the United States in the late 1960s Robert McNamara Many Americans were suspicious of the government's truthfulness about the war William Westmoreland Many Americans believed a credibility gap had developed (people lost trust in what the government was telling them) My Lai Massacre March 16th, 1968 An American platoon had massacred more than 200 South Vietnamese civilians who they thought were members of the Vietcong in a village called My Lai Most of the victims were old men, women and children The My Lai massacre increased feelings among many Americans that the war was brutal and senseless Election of 1968 Johnson refuses to run for re-election After Johnson refused to run for re-election and Bobby Kennedy was assassinated, the Democrats ended up choosing LBJ's vicepresident, Hubert Humphrey, as their presidential candidate Republicans nominate former vice-president Richard Nixon, who lost to JFK in 1960 "I shall not seek, and I will not accept the nomination of my party for another term as your President."

The Ohio National Guard was called in and fired upon the student demonstrators, killing four students th 26 Amendment ratified Anger over the draft led to debates about the voting age. Demonstrators help public rallies and marches. The average age of a American soldier in Vietnam was 19. Because you had to be 21 to vote, many people called for changes in voting laws, saying that if you're old enough to fight in war, you should be old enough to vote. President Nixon signs the 26th Amendment guaranteeing the right to vote for people over 18. In 1971, the 26th Amendment was ratified, lowered the legal voting age from 21 to 18 Vietnamization Vietnamization called for a gradual withdrawal of American troops as South Vietnamese took more control Even though the U.S. had begun cutting back its involvement in the Vietnam War, the American home front remained divided and volatile as Nixon's war policies stirred up new waves of protest U.S. pulls out of Vietnam In January of 1973, North and South Vietnamese reach a cease-fire agreement; By 1975, the United States withdraws all of its people from Vietnam In late1975, North Vietnam violated the ceasefire and captured the South Vietnamese capital of Saigon.

Students Framed by Creative Art Teacher
The Art Appraisal students file through the door and discover seven framed paintings lined up like stage actors in the anterior of their brightly-lit classroom. Set on sturdy oak easels, the wide range of works is impressive, suggesting that their teacher has borrowed a parcel from a prominent collection or local museum. Desks are dressed with seven sheets of blank paper and a sharpened pencil. It's a surprise test!
"You have thirty minutes to examine these artworks," the teacher explains. "Employ our art reference library and take notes if you wish. Be thorough, because when your inspection time is up, I will drape each work and ask you to express your opinions as to its artistic merit." The teacher's pearly smile and pleasant demeanor mask a mischievous cunning. Her students have learned that when it comes to appraising art, things are not always what they seem. These may be uninspired works. Some may be outright fakes. Signatures are compared against known examples. Canvasbacks and wood panels are inspected for signs of oxidation and age.
Feverishly, the students jot down their sentiments until sheets are fluffed and seven easels turn into seven ghosts.
"Now," the teacher says wryly, "write a one page description relative to each of the valuable antique frames you have just inspected."
"Huh?" one of the students says. Pencils drop to the floor like felled trees. Confident expressions turn to mud as soundless minutes pass and not a paper is scratched. Finally, a student raises his hand. "I never thought about looking at a painting's frame," he wines. Heads nod in agreement.
The teacher smiles. "Then I guess we've all learned an important lesson today!" she says.
When sheet number one is unfurled, a 13th century three-part ecclesiastical painting called a "triptych" appears. "This is an example of first type of frame we know of," the teacher explains. "A painted central panel flanked by two hinged panels with a major and two subsidiary subjects. It was like a portable altar."
A sinuous curvaceous 18th century rococo frame is revealed under sheet two. "Prior to the 19th century, frames were painstakingly carved out of wood. Spanish baroque and gilded French style frames like this one comprise what many consider to be the apogee of framing craft. Commonly, they were more costly more than the Rembrandts, Vermeers, Davids, Gainsboroughs, and Copleys they embellished."
Another sheet is pulled. "This is a "grain-painted" folk art frame," the instructor says, unveiling frame three, "typical of those used to surround portraits painted by itinerant artists."
The teacher points at frame four. "This is representative of a majority of finer frames made in the first three quarters of the 19th century," she says, "when the industrial era began. Instead of hand carving, frame makers used reproducible layers of plaster and resin composition molding for ornament. The white "compo" was covered by gilt decoration. Early 19th composition frames are influenced by neoclassical lines and restrained in design. Later, in the Victorian period, many frame makers employed more ornament."
Frame five was made of carved wood decorated by fauna lines. "This frame was made in the late 19th century, in the Art Nouveau period," the teacher explains, "when hand craftsmanship came back into vogue."
When the now enlightened students were reintroduced to frame five they reveled like children witnessing fireworks. "This gilded masterpiece was signed on back by the Newcomb-Macklin Company in 1900. The famous designer, Stanford White, contrived it. Signed and attributed frames by White, Carrig-Rohane, Charles Prendergast, Doll & Richards, Dennis Dinan, the Foster Bros., Walfred Thulin, Frederick Loeser, Frederick Harer, Childe Hassam, and other artisans can command five figures."
The teacher's bright blue eyes seemed to train on every student at once. "Antique frames are valued according to size, artistry, condition, and maker. Toward determining the period and value of a frame, you'll find the answer by asking this question: what class of painting rightfully belongs within its realm?"
Her students thought of Picasso and Stuart and Van Gogh and Manet, and wondered what mode of frame did they choose.
