Watch: Ga. Mother Furious At School for Giving Daughter LGBTQ Vocab Quiz
A mother from Georgia is up in arms after learning her 12-year-old daughter was given an LGBTQ-themed vocabulary test, which quizzed the girl on the definitions of "lesbian," "gay," "transgender," and other terms.
Octavia Parks is lashing out against DeKalb County District in Georgia after a health teacher gave a sexual identity quiz to sixth graders at Lithonia Middle School, Fox 5 Atlanta reports. Among the students who took the quiz was Parks' 12-year-old daughter, who brought the assignment home.
"Why are they teaching that in school?" Parks said. "What does that have to do with life?"
Parks believes the assignment's content was not appropriate for school and that her daughter is too young to learn about sexual orientation and gender identity.
"We're talking about a sixth grader who still watches Nickelodeon," she told Fox 5 Atlanta. "I'm not ready to explain what these words are nor what they mean."
According to images of the test in question, the questions asked were as simple as, "A person who identifies as a woman" and "A man who is attracted to men."
Parks claims she had a conversation with the health teacher and was assured the LGBTQ-themed material would not be taught.
"We had a brief conversation and she assured me that this sort of thing would not happen," the mother told the news station. "Nonetheless, it is happening."
Parks explained she has since signed a consent from, removing her daughter from health class. Fox 5 Atlanta reports she's not the only parent to do so.
"I will be removing her from that class, and I'm also going to take it to the board of education to see what they have to say about it, as well," she said.
The news station reports it is "unclear" if the DeKalb County School District approved of the LGBTQ curriculum but officials did acknowledge the parent's concern in a statement.
"DCSD has been made aware of this alleged event, and is working to verify its authenticity. We will investigate this event and take action, as appropriate, once that investigation is completed," a spokesman for the district told Fox 5 Atlanta.

Eagles quarterback Michael Vick said Wednesday he knows his five lost fumbles will be the focus of every defense the Eagles face.
"I expect everybody that gets close to me to be reaching for the football," Vick said. "It's totally my responsibility to take care of the ball and move on, especially for the sake of this football team. It's something I've got to get corrected. I set a goal for [eliminating] interceptions, and I've got to set another goal."
Vick seemed to be saying he should have gotten the problem fixed sooner.
"That's the least that I should be worrying about right now, at this point in the season," he said. "It's a situation I've created for myself, and I've definitely got to take care of it."
Earlier in the jam-packed media session in front of his locker stall, Vick was asked about a photo he tweeted last week that appeared to show a box of dog treats in the background, in his kitchen. Vick declined to discuss his personal life. He has the right now to own a dog and has mentioned his children wanting one.
"What goes on in my personal life is not to be talked about," Vick said. "What's more important right now is the Philadelphia Eagles and getting a win Sunday."
Eagles coach Andy Reid said LB Akeem Jordan is healthy and will return as the WIL starter this week. Reid said Demetress Bell will continue as the left tackle.
Jordan, a special teams stalwart, said he didn't know if he'd have a role in kick coverage, where the Eagles continue to struggle. He said he feels he can pick up where he left off before injuring his hamstring at Arizona, given three good days of practice this week.
New linebacker Jason Williams, brought in to boost special teams, said he spent the last month since the Panthers cut him "trying to maintain my sanity ... patience isn't really a virtue of mine."
Williams led the Panthers in special teams tackles last season. He was a third-round Cowboys draft pick in 2009.
Williams, 26, said he'd even started to think about life after football, was helping out the coaches of his cousin's Chicago-area high school team when the Eagles decided one week of Adrian Moten was enough. Moten, brought in last week to replace Brian Rolle, didn't make a special teams impact at Pittsburgh and was cut. The team took his name off the back of the No. 57 jersey and handed it to Williams.
Williams said he's never been thrown into game prep off this long a layoff before. "Obviously, game speed is going to be one factor," he said.
Williams said that like a lot of drafted players, he didn't fully embrace special teams until the Cowboys cut him in 2010 and he had to find a niche.

Despite a ban on medical marijuana dispensaries in San Marcos, the City Council today will consider imposing a 45-day moratorium on any future dispensaries.
The unusual step stems not from any recent application to open a medical pot shop, but from the city's concern that a pending California Supreme Court ruling could wipe away its local restrictions.
If approved, the moratorium would be the first by a city in San Diego County tied to the pending ruling.
The case under review by the high court is the City of Riverside v. Inland Empire Health & Wellness Center Inc. It is an appeal from a dispensary questioning Riverside's ban on the establishment. Trial and appellate courts have ruled in favor of the city.
Advocates and attorneys on both sides of the medical marijuana debate are closely watching the high court, which is expected to rule on the appeal by May 5.
California voters in 1996 approved the use of medical marijuana. Questions about how to legally distribute and regulate the federally banned substance have simmered ever since.
San Marcos has banned dispensaries since 2006. The city has taken code enforcement action against six medical marijuana establishments "over the past few years," said city spokeswoman Jenny Windle.
One prominent San Diego County medical marijuana attorney said the proposed moratorium calls San Marcos' strict medical pot rules into question. City officials, however, said Monday that they simply don't want to be caught off guard with the high court's ruling.
"If the ruling issued by the Supreme Court does not uphold local agency control of these dispensaries, the City's current prohibition would be effectively preempted with no regulations in place," City Attorney Helen Holmes Peak wrote in a report for today's council meeting. "To avoid such a scenario, it is necessary that the City enact a temporary moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries under Government Code Section 65858 to protect the public health, safety and welfare until such time as the City can craft appropriate regulations governing dispensaries based on the Supreme Court ruling."
That's not exactly how attorney Lance Rogers reads the city's action. The San Diego-based attorney, who defends medical marijuana proprietors and has been involved with litigation against San Marcos, said the city is trying to delay dealing with medical pot shop applications, and may do so for years.
He noted that state law allows jurisdictions to impose moratoriums for up to two years.
"The city of San Marcos is saying: 'In the event we've been wrong all these years, and our city code is unconstitutional, we're going to pass a moratorium so we don't have to regulate dispensaries anytime soon.'"
Rogers added that litigation could follow the court's ruling, "to enforce state law."
In the San Marcos report, Peak said the city would bring forward another proposed moratorium after the initial 45-day period expired. That would give the city additional time to craft and approve new rules, if the high court rules in favor of the Riverside dispensary.
The moratorium would prohibit "the issuance of a business license, building permit, conditional use permit, or other land use approval" for any medical marijuana dispensary in the city's boundaries, according to the city report.
The report added that dispensaries pose an "immediate threat" to the city's "public health, safety and welfare."
Advocates for medical marijuana say it provides relief for a range of ailments, from arthritis to cancer. Many have offered to safeguard their dispensaries with extra lighting, security cameras and employees.
Medical marijuana dispensaries are also banned in neighboring Vista and Escondido. An Escondido planning official said she hadn't heard of any efforts to impose a moratorium in that city. A Vista city spokeswoman said Tuesday morning that city was not currently considering a moratorium.
Today's council meeting is set for 6 p.m. at San Marcos City Hall, 1 Civic Center Drive.

This year's election is a "dangerous cycle" that Republicans need to be aware of and act accordingly, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole said during a visit to Brunswick County Republican Headquarters Saturday afternoon.
"There are 23 Republicans up for re-election in the United States Senate," Dole said. "There are only 12 Democrats. If they're able to get a filibuster-proof Senate, all hell is going to break loose. Excuse me for saying that, but it will be a very, very difficult situation.
SHALLOTTE—More than 500 people came out Saturday to The Brunswick Beacon's second annual health expo at West Brunswick High School.

EACH YEAR, the United States spends more than $1.5 billion feeding starving people overseas. But our charity comes with a catch: The food has to be bought in America, and much of it must be shipped on American ships.
That might sound like a reasonable requirement. After all, we are giving a gift. Why shouldn't we benefit from it too? But it takes months to buy corn in Iowa, truck it to Louisana or Detroit, and load it onto a ship bound for Ethiopia or North Korea. In an emergency, that process costs precious time and lives. And it's incredibly expensive.
Researchers estimate that buying food closer to where needy people are costs about half as much. And as far back as 1990, the Government Accountability Office estimated that the United States was paying $150 million a year more in transportation costs because of the requirement that the food be shipped on US vessels.
We are the last donor country in the world to have these rules. (Canada changed its policy after it saw how money could be saved by buying rice for Sri Lankans in Sri Lanka after the 2005 tsunami.) We could feed millions more people on the same amount of money, without these rules. At a time of budget cuts, you would think that one thing Republicans and Democrats could agree on would be making sure every tax dollar stretches as far as it can. Everyone knows how wasteful the system is. Why don't we just change it?
Christopher Barrett, a Cornell professor who studies food security, has an answer: About a dozen shipping lines and four giant agricultural corporations get the lion's share of the food aid business.
"You are talking about millions of dollars per company involved," he said.
Since the benefits are concentrated in a small group, they are motivated to fight fiercely to keep the restrictions. Indeed, Maersk, one of the world's largest shippers, spent more than $650,000 on lobbyists last year.
Meanwhile, the waste in the system is spread thinly across 310 million Americans, giving almost no incentive for the rest of us to fight for change.
"It costs each of us something like $1," he said. Nobody is going to get up in arms about that.
So food aid is the perfect storm for special interests: Benefits are big enough for a small group to fight for, but small enough for the rest of us to ignore.
"That's the Logic of Collective Action," Barrett said, referring to a theory by Mancur Olson, an American economist who explained why small groups so often carry the day in Washington, even when the policy they are fighting for is detrimental to the rest of us.
But we shouldn't give up hope. Even though the United States retains its cumbersome rules, some progress has been made. Last summer, President Obama dropped the percentage of food that had to be shipped on US-flagged ships from 75 percent to 50 percent. And there are efforts underway to expand a pilot program that allows food aid to be bought locally.
Efforts to reform food aid seem to have stalled in the House, but have made good strides in the Senate. Debbie Stabenow, the Michigan Democrat who chairs the Senate Agriculture Committee, has championed reforms that allow for more local purchase.
But even Stabenow hasn't pushed to get rid of the shipping rule. It turns out that in the aid pipeline, her home state of Michigan gets its cut, too: A decades-old federal law requires that a significant portion of food aid must be shipped through the Great Lakes.
Food aid advocates say it will still be many more years before decisions about aid are based solely on what is best for people who are dying of hunger, rather than the corporate interests that want to feed them. But they also say they believe that day will come.
Which leads to yet another problem: The fear of what will happen if the system becomes too efficient. Once the Iowa agribusinesses and the Louisiana shippers no longer get their cut, will Congress still vote for food aid?
"Some people say once you remove the special interests from the equation, there won't be enough support to get these bills through," said Eric Muñoz, a senior policy adviser for Oxfam America. "It's a widely held hypothesis."
Muñoz believes we ought to test that theory. I agree.Farah Stockman can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @fstockman.

Over and over we see the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops confuse the right to exercise their religion with a right to impose their religion on Americans who don't share it. This is not a subtle difference.
And, as Bill Moyers points out in the context of their intransigence on access to birth control, the bishops aren't content with an exception from the rule that, like other employers, they provide birth control coverage to workers in their hospitals and universities. They also want to be able to keep their employees from obtaining birth control pills from a third-party insurer, at no cost to themselves.
This stance grossly abuses the rights and privileges of American business owners. Let's face it: Hospitals are money-making operations, dominant in the economy and relying in great measure on government Medicare contracts and employer-based health plans. To allow one very large employer to dictate private healthcare decisions of its employees would distort the American ideal of freedom of religion into a very un-American practice of religious tyranny. The bishops want to control everyone's moral decisions, Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
In the context of end-of-life choice, the bishops enforce Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Healthcare. This document instructs doctors to ignore advance directives that conflict with Catholic moral teaching (ERD #24), requires patients in permanent vegetative states to overcome a presumption in favor of indefinite tube feeding (ERD #58), disallows as "euthanasia" a patient's refusal of treatment such as kidney dialysis if intended to advance the time of death (ERD's #59 and 60), and urges employees to offer religious teaching on the redemptive power of suffering when standard comfort care fails (ERD #61).
With regard to Oregon and Washington's Death with Dignity Acts, the bishops use the machinery of Catholic healthcare to withhold information and support for aid in dying, a legal end-of-life choice. Catholic hospitals, hospices and healthcare systems in those states often impose a draconian gag rule on their employees to deprive patients in their care of comprehensive knowledge of end-of-life choices. As noted by The Seattle Times, the Sisters of Providence healthcare system imposed policy that employees can't discuss the issue with patients, even if asked. In response, Steven Saxe, director of the state's Office of Health Professions and Facilities, reassured healthcare workers that all healthcare providers, including those at Providence, have a "protected right to offer basic information" about the law to patients.
An oppressive gag rule not only violates a cardinal rule of informed consent in healthcare, it also tramples the free speech rights and professional ethics of hospital employees and physician contractors.
As with contraception, a free society must find the middle ground. Catholic Bishops must be free to exercise their religion, yet we cannot allow them to deny that same freedom to the rest of us.

This problem is a symptom and not a disease in itself. Careful differential diagnosis will elucidate the cause and thus the core treatment
needed. However, a number of plants can have a direct effect upon the metabolism and build up of bilirubin in the body. These can be used
to ease the discomfort whilst focusing upon the underlying cause.
A review of the complexities of bilirubin metabolism shows the
range of pathologies that can underlie jaundice. Accurate differential diagnosis goes beyond the level of biochemical and technical sophistication
that is appropriate for this course.
The commonest cause is described as Cholestasis, itself caused by a range of processes.
It describes a state where there is an impaired flow of bile. This will lead to a back up behind the blockage and so the development of jaundice.
The cause of the blockage must be sort. It could be due to inflamed tissue swelling, ducts blocked by gall stones, cancer or even parasites.
Actions indicated for the processes behind Jaundice:
Cholagogues are remedies that have a direct upon
the secretion and release of bile.
Hepatics have a positive metabolic effect upon liver metabolism and functioning.
Bitters will help as tonics that also often supply the previous actions.
"Eliminative support" must be given to
help the body as a whole deal with the build of bilirubin as well as other metabolites. Laxatives, diuretics and diaphoretics are the most
important ones to consider.
Alteratives/Tonics will support the body as a whole in its healing work.
support the tissue drainage work of this important system.
Anti-pruritics will ease the often intense itching.
Anti-microbials will be crucial if there is an infectious basis to the jaundice. They will still be helpful as surface immune support
even if there is no infection present.
System Support
The liver, digestion and circulation are primarily important,
but due to the often unclear etiology as well as the body wide effects of the bilirubin, general toning is called for.
Specific Remedies
Traditionally in Europe, Dandelion root and Vervain are considered specifics. Many of the bitter hepatic/cholagogue could
be considered specific. The hepato-regenerative potentials of Milk Thistle must be taken advantage of to ensure there is no
hepato-toxicity due to backed up bile. Please also review Fringetree Bark, Black Root & Balmony.
One possible prescription
supplies the range of actions needed as well as specific help:

(1) What is indifference? . . . It means in reality the achieving of a neutral attitude towards that which is regarded as the Not-Self; it involves a repudiation of similarity; it marks the recognition of a basic distinction; it signifies refusal to be identified with anything save the spiritual reality, as far as that is sensed and known at any given point in time and space. It is, therefore, a much stronger and vital thing than what is usually meant when the word is used. It is active repudiation without any concentration upon that which is repudiated. (10 - 262).
(2) Those who are in preparation for initiation must learn to work consciously with glamour; they must work effectively with the presented truth, ignoring any pain or suffering or mental questioning which is incident to personality rebellion and limitation; they must cultivate that "divine indifference" to personal considerations which is the outstanding hallmark of the trained initiate. (5 - 27).
(3) If I were asked to specify the outstanding fault of the majority of groups of disciples at this time, I would say that it is the expression of the wrong kind of indifference, leading to an almost immovable pre-occupation with their personal ideas and undertakings. (5 - 82).
(4) Your problem is not to get rid of difficulties, but simply to be indifferent as to whether they exist or not. (5 - 659).
(5) Learn that divine indifference which you need - indifference to yourself and to your personality interests, likes and dislikes, indifference to your cares, anxieties and successes. (5 - 661).
See also: "Detachment", and "Impersonality".
(1) A man who has taken the first step into the spiritual kingdom, having passed out of the definitely human kingdom into the super-human. . . . He [Page 198] has entered upon the life of the spirit, and for the first time has the right to be called a "spiritual man" in the technical significance of the word. He is entering upon the fifth or final stage in our present fivefold evolution. (1 - 10).
(2) Each initiation marks the passing of a pupil in the Hall of Wisdom into a higher class, marks the clear shining forth of the inner fire and the transition from one point of polarisation to another, entails the realization of an increasing unity with all that lives and the essential oneness of the self with all selves. It results in a horizon that continually enlarges until it includes the sphere of creation; it is a growing capacity to see and hear on all planes. It is an increased consciousness of God's plan for the world, and an increased ability to enter into those plans and to further them. It is the honour class in the Master's school, and is within the attainment of those souls whose karma permits and whose efforts suffice to fulfil the aim.
Initiation leads to the mount whence vision can be had, a vision of the eternal Now, wherein past, present, and future exist as one. (1 - 13).
(3) Initiation leads to the stream that, once entered, sweeps a man onward until it carries him to the feet of the Lord of the World, to the feet of his Father in Heaven, to the feet of the three-fold Logos.
. . . It leads through the Hall of Wisdom, and puts into a man's hands the key to all information, systemic and cosmic, in graduated sequence. It reveals the hidden mystery that lies at the heart of the solar system. It leads from one state of consciousness to another. As each state is entered the horizon enlarges, the vista extends, and the comprehension includes more and more, until the expansion reaches a point where the self embraces all selves, including all that is "moving and unmoving", as phrased by an ancient Scripture. (1 - 14).
(4) This ceremony of initiation marks a point of attainment. It does not bring about attainment, as is so often the misconception. It simply marks the recognition by the watching Teachers of the race of a definite point in evolution reached by the pupil, and gives two things:
1. An expansion of consciousness that admits the personality into the Wisdom attained by the Ego, and in the higher initiations into the consciousness of the Monad.
2. A brief period of enlightenment wherein the initiate sees that portion of the Path that lies ahead to be trodden, and wherein he shares consciously in the great plan of evolution. (1 - 15).
(5) Initiation is a strictly personal matter with a universal application. It rests upon his inner attainment. The initiate will know for himself when [Page 199] the event occurs and needs no one to tell him of it. . . . It is quite possible for men to be functioning on the physical plane and to be actively employed in world service, who have no recollection of having undergone the initiatory process, yet who, nevertheless, may have taken the first or second initiation in a previous or earlier life. ... A man may be able better to work off certain karma and to carry out certain work for the Lodge, if he is free from occult occupation and mystic introspection during the period of any one earth life. (1 - 102).
(6) He has to equip also, his mental body so that it may be the explainer and transmitter, and not a hindering factor as now. He must likewise develop group activity, and learn to work in a co-ordinated manner with other units. These are the main things that a man must accomplish along the path of initiation, but when he has worked at them, he will find the Way, it will be made clear to him, and he will then join the ranks of the Knowers. (1- 178).
(7) Initiation is in the nature of a great experiment which our planetary Logos is making during this round. In earlier and perhaps in later rounds the whole process will follow natural law. . . . The whole process is optional, and a man may - if he so choose - follow the normal process, and take aeons of time to effect what some are choosing to do in a briefer period, through a self-chosen forcing process. (3 - 829).
(8) The partial subjugation of glamour, and escape from the complete thralldom of illusion, are indications to the watching Hierarchy that a man is ready for the process of initiation. (10 - 126).
(9) The mark of the initiate is his lack of interest in himself, in his own unfoldment, and his personal fate, and all aspirants who become accepted disciples have to master the technique of disinterestedness. (14 - xxi).
(10) Initiation might be defined in two ways. It is first of all the entering into a new and wider dimensional world, by the expansion of a man's consciousness, so that he can include and encompass that which he now excludes, and from which he normally separates himself in his thinking and acts. It is, secondly, the entering into man of those energies which are distinctive of the soul and of the soul alone - the forces of intelligent love, and of spiritual will. These are dynamic energies, and they actuate all who are liberated souls. (15 - 12).
(11) The concept which has to supersede the one at present extant, is that of group initiation, and not that of the initiation of an individual aspirant. In the past, and in order to get the idea of initiation into the minds of the people, the Hierarchy chose the mode (now obsolete) of holding out the [Page 200] prospect of initiation before the earnest disciple; upon this they placed an early emphasis of its peculiarity, its rewarding nature, its ritual and ceremonies, and its place in the scale of evolution. Since the fact of initiation had been grasped by many, and achieved by some, it has become possible today to reveal what has always been implied, that initiation is a group event. If clear thinking had taken the place of a selfish individual aspiration, the fact of group initiation would have been obvious, and for the following reasons, inherent and implied in the whole situation:
1. The soul - in its own nature - is group conscious, and has no individual ambitions or individual interests, and is not at all interested in the aims of its personality. It is the soul which is the initiate. Initiation is a process whereby the spiritual man within the personality becomes aware of himself as the soul, with soul powers, soul relationships, and soul purpose. The moment a man realises this, even in a small measure, it is the group of which he is conscious.
2. Only the man whose sense of identity is beginning to expand and become inclusive, can "take initiation" (as it is erroneously termed). If initiation were a purely personal achievement, it would throw the man back into the separative consciousness, out of which he is endeavouring to escape. This would not be spiritual progression. Every step upon the Path of Initiation increases group recognition. Initiation is essentially an expanding series of inclusive recognitions.
3. Initiation admits the aspirant into membership in the Hierarchy. This involves, speaking esoterically, the relinquishing of all separative personality reactions in a series of progressive renunciations; these culminate in the fourth initiation . . .
It dawns on the initiate, as he proceeds from one initiation to another, that each time he moves forward on the path, or penetrates into the heart of the Mysteries in company with those who are as he is, who share with him the same point in evolution, and who are working with him towards the same goal, that he is not alone; that it is a joint effort that is being made. This is in fact the keynote of an Ashram, conditioning its formation. It is composed of disciples and initiates at various stages of initiate-unfoldment, who have arrived at their point of ashramic consciousness together, and who will proceed together until they arrive at that complete liberation which comes when the cosmic physical plane drops below the threshold of consciousness, or of sensitive awareness, and no longer holds any point of interest for the initiate. (18 - 341/2).
(12) No one is admitted (through the process of initiation) into the [Page 201] Ashram of the Christ (the Hierarchy) until such time as he is beginning to think and live in terms of group relationships and group activities. Some well-meaning aspirants interpret the group idea as the instruction to them that they should make an effort to form groups - their own group or groups. This is not the idea as it is presented in the Aquarian Age, so close today; it was the mode of approach during the Piscean Age, now passed. Today, the entire approach is totally different. No man today is expected to stand at the centre of his little world, and work to become a focal point for a group. His task now is to discover the group of aspirants with which he should affiliate himself, and with whom he must travel upon the Path of Initiation - a very different matter, and a far more difficult one. (18 - 344).
(13) An Ashram has in it disciples and initiates at all points of evolutionary development, and of all grades and degrees; these all work together in perfect unison, and yet - within their differentiated ranks, for each degree stands alone, yet united with all the others - with their own established rapport, their coded telepathic interplay, and a shared occult secrecy and silence, which guard the secrets and knowledges of one grade from another and from the unready. Similarly, when an aspirant, seeking upon the physical plane to find those who will share with him the mystery of his next immediate step or demonstrated expansion, discovers his own group, he will find that it has in it those who have not reached his particular point of wisdom, and those also who have already left him far behind. He will be drawn into a vortex of force and a field of service simultaneously. Ponder on this statement. He will learn, therefore, the lessons required by one who is to work in an Ashram, and will know how to handle himself with those who may not yet share with him the secrets which he already knows, and with those who have penetrated deeper into the Mysteries than he has. (18 - 346).
(14) Initiation has been so frequently presented as being a ceremony, that I have felt it necessary to offset strenuously that erroneous significance. If, however, you are to comprehend that which I have to say, you will have to call in what measures of enlightened understanding you may possess.
Initiation is only a ceremony in so far that there comes a climaxing point in the initiatory process, in which the disciple's consciousness becomes dramatically aware of the personnel of the Hierarchy, and his own position in relation to it. This realisation he symbolises to himself - successively and on an increasingly large scale - as a great rhythmic ceremonial of progressive revelation in which he, as a candidate, is the centre of the hierarchical stage. . . . I am not here saying that the teachings given in the past by various [Page 202] occult groups, or in my book Initiation, Human and Solar, are not correct, or do not recount accurately what the candidate believes has taken place. The point I seek to make is that the ceremonial aspect is due to the thought-form-making capacity of the disciple. (18 - 530/1).
(15) The Initiatory process is in reality the result of the activity of three energies:
1. The energy generated by the disciple as he seeks to serve humanity.
2. The energy made available to the disciple as he succeeds in building the antahkarana.
3. The energy of the hierarchical Ashram, into which he is being "absorbed" or integrated.
It is in these three energies, each with its own mode of expression, and each producing its own specific results, which implement or engineer the initiatory process; these energies are evoked by the disciple himself, and their increasing strength and revelatory capacity, depend largely upon the disciple's determination, purpose and will, his persistence and spiritual integrity. It is through his understanding of the word "process" that the disciple discovers the true meaning of the occult statement, that "before a man can tread the Path he must become that Path himself". Increasingly the disciple finds what it is to become a creative agent, using the creative faculties of the mind and conforming increasingly (as he creates) to the Plan of the Creator, the Lord of the World. (18 - 534/5).
(16) Periods of search, periods of pain, periods of detachment, periods of revelation producing points of fusion, points of tension, and points of energy projection - such is the story of the Path of Initiation.
Initiation is in truth the name given to the revelation of the new vision which ever draws the disciple onward into greater light; it is not something conferred upon him or given to him. It is a process of light recognition and of light utilisation, in order to enter into ever clearer light. Progress from a dimly lighted area in the divine manifestation, into one of supernal glory, is the story of the Path of Evolution. (18 - 538).
(17) It is the recognition of the varying "lights" upon the Lighted Way that signifies readiness for initiation. The initiate enters into light in a peculiar sense; it permeates his nature according to his development at any point in time and space; it enables him to contact and see the hitherto unseen, and on the basis of the newly acquired knowledge to direct his steps still further.
I am not here speaking in symbols. Each initiation dims the light already acquired and used, and then immerses the initiate in a higher light. Each [Page 203] initiation enables the disciple to perceive an area of divine consciousness hitherto unknown but which, when the disciple has familiarised himself with it, and with its unique phenomena, vibratory quality and interrelations, becomes for him a normal field of experience and activity. Thus (if I may so express it) the "worlds of living forms and formless lives become his own". Again duality enters into his mental perception, for he is now aware of the lighted area from which he comes to the point of tension or of initiation; through the initiatory process he discovers a new and more brilliantly lighted area, into which he may now enter. This involves no leaving of the former field of activity in which he has worked and lived; it simply means that new fields of responsibility and of opportunity confront him, because he is - through his own effort - able to see more light, to walk in greater light, to prove more adequately than heretofore his capacities within the greatly increased area of possibility.
Initiation is, therefore, a constant fusion of the lights, progressively entered, thus enabling the initiate to see further, deeper and more inclusively. (18 - 539/40).
(18) Initiation is a growth in experience, and the attainment thereby of a point of tension. Holding that point of tension, the initiate sees that which lies ahead. Initiation permits a progressive entry into the mind of the creating Logos. This last definition is perhaps one of the most important I have ever given. Ponder on my words . . .
As energy is the basis of our entire manifested world, an initiation is a condition of consciousness wherein the fully prepared disciple utilises the available energies (at the time of initiation) to bring about changes within consciousness, of a momentous and revelatory nature. Each initiation puts the initiate in a position to control certain related energies, and enables him to become increasingly a trained manipulator of those energies; each initiation gives him understanding of the related energy and of its field of activity; each initiation reveals to him the quality and the type of stimulation to be evoked when brought into contact with any particular ray energy; each initiation establishes relationship between the initiate and the ray energy involved, so that gradually (no matter what may be his soul ray, or his personality ray) he can work with the quality and the creative aspect of all the rays, though ever retaining a greater facility to work on his own soul ray, and later with the ray of the Monad - one of the three major Rays of Aspect. (18 - 557/8).
(19) Many who read these instructions, and who study the books I have written, are in process of preparation for one or other of the initiations, [Page 204] and the entire theme should therefore be of major interest to you. You should decide (at least tentatively) which initiation lies ahead of you, and then discover all you possibly can about it, and its prerequisites, endeavouring to make practical application of the imparted information; either that which I give to you is true, or it is not; if true, it is vital to your future progress and you should aim at achieving a measure of real understanding. (18 - 669).
(20) Initiation is not really the curious mixture of self-satisfied attainment, ceremonial, and hierarchical recognition, as portrayed by the major occult groups. It is far more a process of excessively hard work, during which process the initiate becomes what he is. This may entail hierarchical recognition, but not in the form usually pictured. The initiate finds himself in the company of those who have preceded him, and he is not rejected, but is seen and noted, and then put to work.
It is also a graded series of liberations, resulting in the attainment of increased freedom from that which lies behind in his experience; this carries with it the permission (soul enjoined or given) to proceed further on the WAY. These freedoms are the result of Detachment, Dispassion, and Discrimination. At the same time Discipline enforces, and makes possible the hard work required to pass the grade. All these four techniques (for that is what they are) are preceded by a series of disillusionments which, when realised and comprehended, leave the aspirant no choice but to move forward into greater light.
I would like to have you study initiation from the angle of liberation, looking upon it as a process of strenuously attained freedoms. This basic aspect of initiation - when realised by the initiate - ties his experience into a firm relation with that of the whole of humanity, whose fundamental struggle is the attainment of that freedom "whereby the soul and its powers can unfold, and all men be free because of an individually attained freedom". (18 - 685).
(21) The initiate, on his tiny scale, likewise has to learn to work behind the scenes, unknown and unrecognised and unacclaimed; he must sacrifice his identity in the identity of the Ashram and its workers, and later in the identity of his working disciples out in the world of daily life. He institutes the needed activities and brings about the required changes, but he receives no reward, save the reward of souls salvaged, lives rebuilt, and humanity led onward upon the Path of Return. (6 - 288).
See also: "Teachings on Initiation" (6 - 243/439).
[Page 205]
(1) There is a great distinction between the terms "aspirant to the Path" and "applicant for initiation". He who aspires and strives towards discipleship is in no way pledged to the same specific attitude and discipline as is the applicant for initiation, and he can, if he so choose, take as long as he desires in the treading of the Probationary Path. The man who seeks initiation is in a different position, and having once made application, has to bring his life under a definite rule, and a strict regime which is only optional to the disciple. (1 - 192).
(2) The disciple's attitude of mind must be that he cares not whether he takes initiation or not. Selfish motive must not enter it. Only those applications which reach the Master through the energy engendered through pure altruistic motive are transmitted by Him to the recording angel of the Hierarchy; only those disciples who seek initiation because of the added power to help and bless that it confers, will find a response to their plea . . . Those who are keen to serve, those who are weighed down with a sense of world need, . . . knock and meet with response . . .
When the lower life upon the physical plane is fertilised, the emotional stabilised, and the mental transmitted, then naught can prevent the latch on the door being lifted, and the disciple passing through. (1 - 193/4).
(3) Many people are regarded as initiates, who are only endeavouring to be initiate. They are not, however, real initiates. They are those well meaning people, whose mental understanding outruns the power of their personalities to practice. They are those who are in touch with forces which they are not yet able to handle and control. They have done a great deal of the needed work of inner contact, but have not yet whipped the lower nature into shape. They are, therefore, unable to express that which they inwardly understand and somewhat realise. They are those disciples who talk too much and too soon, and too self-centredly, and who present to the world an ideal toward which they are indeed working, but which they are as yet unable to materialise, owing to the inadequacy of their equipment. (15 - 13).
(4) The major liability of the average initiate, is sloth or lack of speed. Ponder on that. (18 - 156).
[Page 206]
FIRST INITIATION: (Birth)
(1) At the first initiation, the control of the Ego over the physical body must have reached a high degree of attainment. "The sins of the flesh", as the Christian phraseology has it, must be dominated; gluttony, drink, and licentiousness must no longer hold sway. The physical elemental will no longer find its demand obeyed; the control must be complete and the lure departed. A general attitude of obedience to the Ego must have been achieved, and the willingness to obey must be very strong. The channel between the higher and the lower is widened, and the obedience of the flesh practically automatic. (1 - 82).
(2) After this (first) initiation the initiate is taught principally the facts of the astral plane; he has to stabilise his emotional vehicle and learn to work on the astral plane with the same facility and ease as he does on the physical plane; he is brought in contact with the astral devas; he learns to control the astral elementals; he must function with facility on the lower sub-planes, and the value and quality of his work on the physical plane becomes of increased worth. He passes, at this initiation, out of the Hall of Learning into the Hall of Wisdom. At this time, emphasis is consistently laid on his astral development, although his mental equipment grows steadily . . . A long period of many incarnations may elapse before the control of the astral body is perfected, and the initiate is ready for the next step. (1 - 84).
(3) The first initiation is within reach of many, but the necessary one-pointedness and the firm belief in the reality ahead, coupled to a willingness to sacrifice all rather than turn back, are deterrents to many. If this book serves no other purpose than to spur some one to renewed believing effort, it will not have been written in vain. (1 - 111).
(4) The first initiation simply stands for commencement. A certain structure of right living, of thinking and of conduct has been attained; the form that the Christ is to occupy has been constructed, and now that form is to be vivified and indwelt. The Christ life enters and the form becomes alive. (4 - 352).
(5) Very little egoic control need be evidenced when the first initiation is taken. That initiation indicates simply that the germ of soul life has vitalised, and brought into functioning existence the inner spiritual body, the sheath of the inner spiritual man, which will eventually enable the man [Page 207] at the third initiation, to manifest forth as a "full-grown man in Christ". . . . Between the first and second initiations . . . much time can elapse, and much change must be wrought during the many stages of discipleship. (15 - 14).
(6) (The throat) centre is related to the first initiation, and develops great activity when that point in experience is achieved, as it has been achieved by the vast majority of men who are at this time the aspirants and the probationary disciples of the world. (Forget not that, technically speaking, the first major initiation from the hierarchical angle, is the third. The first initiation is regarded by the Masters as signifying admission to the Path). (17 - 152).
(7) Many thousands of people in the world today, have taken the first initiation, and are oriented towards the spiritual life and the service of their fellowmen; their lives, however, frequently leave much to be desired, and the soul is obviously not in constant control; a great struggle is still being waged to achieve purification on all three levels. The lives of these initiates are faulty, and their inexperience great, and a major attempt is instituted in this particular cycle to achieve soul fusion. When that is attained, then the third initiation (the first, hierarchically speaking) is taken. (18 - 385).
(8) An instance of a slow permeation of information from the plane of initiation to the physical brain, can be seen in the fact that very few aspirants and disciples register the fact that they have already taken the first initiation, the birth of the Christ in the cave of the heart. That they have taken it is evidenced by their deliberate treading of the Way, by their love of the Christ - no matter by what name they may call Him - and by their effort to serve and help their fellowmen; they are still, however, surprised when told that the first initiation lies behind them. (18 - 436/7).
(9) It can be assumed that all earnest and true aspirants and disciples, who work undeviatingly for spiritual advancement (with pure motive), and who are oriented unswervingly towards the soul, have taken the first initiation. (18 - 484).
(10) The Energy and radiation of the Lord of the seventh Ray, are becoming steadily more powerful in the three worlds.
This incoming of a ray always produces an intensified period of initiatory activity, and this is the case today. The major effect, as far as humanity is concerned, is to make possible the presentation of thousands of aspirants and applicants for the first initiation; men on a large scale, and in mass formation, can today pass through the experience of the Birth Initiation. Thousands of human beings can experience the birth of the Christ within [Page 208] themselves, and can realise that the Christ life, the Christ nature, and the Christ consciousness are theirs. . . . The experience need not be expressed in occult terms, and in the majority of cases will not be; the individual initiate who takes this initiation, is aware of great changes in his attitude to himself, to his fellowmen, to circumstances, and to his interpretation of life events. These are peculiarly the reactions which attend the first initiation; a new orientation to life, and a new world of thought are registered by the initiate.
. . . Each initiation indicates a stage in the growth and the development of this new factor in the human consciousness and expression, and this continues until the third initiation, when there emerges the "full-grown man in Christ". (18 - 569/70).
(11) The lives of initiates of the first initiation, are beginning to be controlled by the Christ-consciousness, which is the consciousness of responsibility and service. These initiates exist in their thousands today; they will be present in their millions by the time the year 2025 arrives. All this reorientation and unfoldment will be the result of the activity of the seventh ray, and of the impact of its radiation upon humanity. (18 - 571).
(12) The first initiation marks the beginning of a totally new life and mode of living; it marks the commencement of a new manner of thinking, and of conscious perception. The life of the personality in the three worlds has for aeons nurtured the germ of this new life, and fostered the tiny spark of light within the relative darkness of the lower nature. This process is now being brought to a close, though it is not at this stage entirely discontinued, for the "new man" has to learn to walk, to talk, and to create; the consciousness is now, however, being focussed elsewhere. This leads to much pain and suffering until the definite choice is made, a new dedication to service is vouchsafed, and the initiate is ready to undergo the Baptism of Initiation. (18 - 667).
(13) All true aspirants have taken the first initiation. This fact is indicated by their intensive struggle to grow into the spiritual life, to follow the way of determined orientation to things of the spirit, and to live by the light of that spirit. (5 - 716).

Framingham State with a playoff bid on the line.
Everyone wants to be playing late in November. Holiday dreams dance under helmets at Salve Regina, Framingham State, Mount Ida and Castleton State. Those are the teams in the New England Football Conference and the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference that still have that dream.
There are other teams in other places that even dare dream of playing in December. But in the NEFC and ECFC the realistic goal is getting to the national playoffs and trying to win a first-round game, striking a blow for a conference seeking respect.
Salve Regina goes to Framingham State to play in the final NEFC Championship Game where the prize is a spot in the playoffs. Castleton hosts Ida where the prize is also the playoff berth.
Castleton will be without quarterback Shane Brozowski who fractured his fibula on Saturday against Husson. Brozowski is among the statistical leaders in several NCAA categories and has been mentioned as a Gagliardi candidate.
There is one NEFC performer whose season will extend into December. MIT offensive lineman Ethan Peterson will be one of the 15 finalists for the William V. Campbell Trophy at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City on Dec. 4. Peterson will be on the big stage with such luminaries as USC's Matt Barkley, Nebraska's Ryan Burkhead and Notre Dame's Manti Te'o. Peterson will be one of two Division III players among the 15 finalists, the other being Mount Union safety Nick Driskill.
The Campbell Trophy is sponsored by the National Football Foundation and goes to the nation's top Scholar-Athlete across all divisions.
Peterson, a three-year starter and two-year captain for the Engineers, carries a 3.83 grade point average in the double majors of nuclear engineering and physics.
MIT coach Chad Martinovich was recruiting Peterson for RPI when he was an assistant coach there.
He and Peterson wound up at MIT at the same time. Peterson's final three choices were RPI, MIT and Cornell. He visited Cornell and found that most football players were not engineering majors. They were in the programs of communications or political science.
"Almost all the players at MIT were engineering majors. The culture at MIT was a lot more conducive to me," Peterson said. "I wanted to play football, but I didn't want to commit to it at the level at Cornell."
MIT finished the season at 5-4 and Peterson sees the future of the program as a bright one.
"I am the only senior on offense and there is only one on the defensive side of the ball," Peterson said.
The Ida-Castleton matchup pits the Mustangs with one conference loss against a Castleton team that is unbeaten in the league. The winner will get the big prize as the result of the head-to-head tiebreaker.
The big story of the game, of course, is the absence of Brozowski.
The job of trying to fill the void falls to freshman George Busharis. He came on when Brozowski was injured with the score 14-14. Busharis quickly threw a 50-yard scoring pass to Brandon Boyle to put the Spartans in front on the way to a 34-14 victory at Husson.
"I feel bad for Shane. It's a terrible way for him to end his career," Castleton coach Marc Klatt said.
"But our players have a lot of confidence in George. When he got in he showed us a lot of the same things we saw in him when we recruited him. He was very composed."
Busharis completed seven of his 10 passes.
Klatt said Brozowski's role will now be to mentor the other quarterbacks.
"Our kids now have to step up and play bigger roles. This is all part of it," Klatt said. "We feel very confident in George."
"Our philosophy is to run the football first and be physical in our play," Mount Ida coach Mike Landers said.
He calls Scott Drosendahl "a complete quarterback" and he has hurt defenses with his arm and legs this season.
"Castleton's defense has really improved," Landers said. "They play with tremendous effort and energy and that shows up on film."
Landers said the Mustangs will take the approach that has got them this far and not get too far ahead of themselves.
"There is a big prize at the end of this week, but we need to just stay focused on our job," he said.
Going into Spartan Stadium is another piece of the challenge.
"We would love to be home in Mustang City," Landers said. "It has been a great environment for us. We have won three games at home this year basically in the last minute. We have great support there.
"But our fan base travels well. We are going to have a good contingent there."
There is also a big crowd expected at the last NEFC Championship game in Framingham. That is why the Rams are moving the game against Salve Regina from their Maple Street Field with its capacity of 1,000 to Bowditch Field with its 5,000 capacity. The larger stadium could become the Rams' permanent home as soon as next year.
"It's beautiful. It's all been redone," Framingham coach Tom Kelley said.
But Kelley had bigger concerns than stadium aesthetics as he broke down film on Salve Regina on Sunday morning.
"We are definitely the underdog," Kelley said.
But the Rams do have a nine-game winning streak, reeling off wins in every game since the season-opening loss to Endicott.
Kelley debated between resting players and "going after it" last week against Worcester State since the Rams had already clinched the spot in the title game.
He felt resting the players last year in the same situation backfired so he decided to play it like any other game in an attempt to keep the momentum. The Rams won 65-21 and set a school record with 642 yards of offense. Melikke Van Alstyne also set a school record with 262 career points and also 43 career touchdowns, accomplishing all that in three seasons.
Salve did its part in tuning up by whipping Nichols 45-7 as Steven Wilken threw three touchdown passes.
"We are going to have to play our 'A' game. We have a lot of respect for what coach (Bob) Chesney, his staff and players are doing down there," Kelley said.
"This is the last game ever in the New England Football Conference as we know it," Kelley said. "It would be nice to have your name on that trophy."
The 'B" is for Bates in the CBB
Bates is enjoying its best season in years and the Bobcats won the CBB (Colby-Bates-Bowdoin) Trophy by beating Bowdoin 14-6. The Bobcats are 4-3 and guaranteed their first .500 season since 1999.
The other Maine team in the New England Football Conference also won. Colby defeated Tufts 21-14 and the Mules did it with some Gordie Lockbaum impersonations. Ryan Veillete, better known as the NESCAC sack leader, lined up at running back on the 3-yard line in overtime and threw a touchdown pass to Derrick Beasley, an All-NESCAC defensive end. It was the third TD pass Beasley has caught this fall.
NESCAC record watch
Trinity extended the nation's best home regular-season winning streak to 47 games by beating Amherst 32-20 as Evan Bunker rushed for 207 yards and two touchdowns.
Middlebury quarterback McCallum Foote continued his record assault. He set a school and NESCAC record by reaching 27 touchdown passes this season. Foote threw five touchdown passes in the 50-14 win over Hamilton in the battle for the Rocking Chair. He ran for a sixth score. Foote went 40-for-58 for 456 yards.
Zach Driscoll was on the receiving end of 14 of Foote's completions and became the all-time program leader in single-season receptions with 73.
Freshman Tim Patricia continued to be a tackling machine. He had 12 of them.
Williams toppled Wesleyan 19-7 in a Little Three contest as Alex Scyocurka rushed for 207 yards with a touchdown.
Another mark for Resch
Coast Guard quarterback Jon Resch got another school standard by throwing six touchdown passes in a 42-13 victory over Maine Maritime.
Robert Baker tossed three TD passes as Becker won its ECFC rivalry game with Anna Maria 27-7. But the Hawks really did it with defense as Christopher McCarthy had 14 tackles and Melvin Booker another 13. They had two sacks apiece.
Gallaudet defeated Mount Ida 29-22 as the Bison intercepted Drosendahl four times. Ryan Bonheyo rushed for two touchdowns for Gallaudet.
"There was tremendous disappointment," Landers said. "We went down there to win that game. We weren't thinking about Castleton yet on the way home."
MVP McCarthy
Bridgewater State won the Cranberry Bowl against Mass. Maritime as Mike McCarthy took home the game's Lee Harrington MVP Award for the second straight year. McCarthy had 254 yards of total offense for the 9-1 Bears.
Western New England's winningest senior class enjoyed a 38-12 victory over UMass-Dartmouth. Those seniors went 31-12 during their time in Springfield.
The Big Games
The Ida-Castleton and Salve Regina-Framingham games have the big prize attached to them, but how can it get any bigger than the Biggest Little Game in America. This year the 12,000 fans or so will flock to Amherst for the Williams-Amherst clash.
Trinity has its own big prize to claim: an undefeated season. That is what the Bantams will be trying for when they travel to in-state rival Wesleyan.
And while Bates has already put the CBB hardware in the trophy case, a NESCAC game between any of the Maine rivals is always special. Bowdoin travels to Colby.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - One of Charlie Chaplin's iconic bowler hats and canes, the staple of Hollywood silent-era comedy, will go under the hammer in Los Angeles this weekend, auction house Bonhams said on Tuesday.
Chaplin's hat and cane - synonymous with his trademark "Little Tramp" character in films such as "City Lights" and "Modern Times" - are expected to fetch between $40,000 and $60,000 in the November 18 auction.
It is unknown how many of Chaplin's bowlers and canes still exist, said Lucy Carr, a memorabilia specialist at Bonhams. The ones up for auction come from a private collection but have a direct link to Chaplin, Carr said.
The waddling and bumbling Little Tramp character propelled Chaplin to global fame. The character, which Hollywood legend says was created by accident on a rainy day at Keystone Studio, first appeared in 1914's "Kid Auto Races at Venice" and lastly in 1936's "Modern Times."
Chaplin's hat and cane are the highlights of an auction of popular culture artifacts including a saxophone that belonged to jazz pioneer Charlie Parker ($22,000-$26,000) and a handwritten letter from John Lennon in which The Beatle sketched himself and wife Yoko Ono nude ($18,000-$22,000).
Other items hitting the block range from an archive of Marilyn Monroe photographs ($15,000-$20,000), an early Charles Schulz "Peanuts" comic strip ($10,000-$15,000) and a wicker chair from Rick's Cafe in "Casablanca" ($5,000-$7,000).

Which variety of Chinese language to begin with...?
I am a lifelong English speaker in America with no experience reading, writing or speaking Chinese languages. My eventual goal is to be able to fluently read, write and converse freely in the broadest and most diverse variety of Chinese languages. I have just begun to get a grasp of the differences between the concepts of traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, Pinyin, Mandarin and Cantonese. I realize at the outset this will take a lot of work and dedicated study and could even be looked on as a lifetime learning discipline, I am fine with that. My question, intended for real experienced experts in reading, writing, speaking and teaching Chinese language, is this.... Given my started goals in learning Chinese language, what would you guys recommend as the very best variety of Chinese language to begin learning to read, write and speak with here at the very outset. Any helpful advice to get me started off on the right foot would be very much appreciated, thanks.

A 40-year-old DreamWorks animator — one who worked on animal-themed children's movies such as "Kung Fu Panda" and "Madagascar 2" — has been arrested on an animal cruelty charge after a surveillance camera videotaped him beating a neighbor's muzzled dog with a hammer.
Young Song pleaded not guilty in court yesterday and faces a preliminary hearing next month. He allegedly climbed a fence into a neighbor's yard in Pasadena. Surveillance camera video shows the 16-month-old dog being beaten but does not reveal what Song did with the dog.
Authorities say the dog is missing and presumed dead.
Song was being held on $40,500 bail, according to authorities, according to the Los Angeles Times.
"When our officers first viewed the videotape, one of our officers had tears in his eyes. He'd never seen anything like this before," said Steve McNall, who heads the Pasadena Humane Society and Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. "In my 31 years at this animal shelter I've never seen anything like this."
McNall's agency, which is licensed to investigate crimes involving animals, is conducting the probe. It made the arrest in conjunction with Pasadena police.
According to authorities, the suspect shot the dog with a pellet gun, then returned with a hammer and began chasing and striking the animal.
The Times reported that Young works as a "surfacer," an artisan who creates the look and surface qualities for animated characters, props and environments. Young's credits on animal-themed films also include "Shark Tale" and "Bee Movie."
The motive for the attack is not clear. "It might have originated as a barking issue, a noise issue, and then escalated into something else," McNall said.
If convicted, Song could face more than four years in prison, the district attorney's office said.

One of the greatest crossover albums of the 80s – and the record that catapulted Prince very firmly into the mainstream! There's a tightness here that surpasses even that of Prince's early classics for Warner Brothers – an unabashed love of a pop hook that makes for some incredibly catchy tunes that are still delivered with a nice funky undercurrent. The whole Prince family is at the top of their game at this point – and titles include "Darling Nikki", "Let's Go Crazy", "I Would Die 4 U", "When Doves Cry", "Baby I'm A Star", and "Purple Rain". This fantastic 2CD version features a completely new 2015 Paisley Park remaster of the album, done by Prince – plus a full CD that features unreleased songs and tracks from the vaults – with titles that include "Katrina's Paper Dolls", "We Can F**k", "Father's Song", "Possessed", "Computer Blue (hallway speech version)", "Love & Sex", "The Dance Electric", "Our Destiny/Roadhouse Garden", "Wonderful Ass", "Velvet Kitty Cat", and "Electric Intercourse (studio version)". © 1996-2018, Dusty Groove, Inc.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.
