Don't feel down that it's December 24 and you still have shopping to do. There are plenty of quick and easy options to consider—and you may even be rewarded for waiting so long.
Besides, you're hardly alone if you're shopping at the last minute. Some 17 million Americans will hit the malls on December 24, per a Consumer Reports poll. And, as luck would have it, the procrastinating grasshoppers out there may wind up getting better bargains than the diligent ants who wrapped up their holiday shopping weeks ago (and who have probably been bragging about it).
According to the most recent data from the retail-sales tracking company ShopperTrak, it hasn't been a particularly strong season for retailers. Due to unexpectedly mediocre numbers in November and December, ShopperTrak now forecasts retail holiday sales to grow by 2.5% year over year in 2012, down from the 3.3% increase it originally predicted. Due to lagging sales and retailer fears that they could be left with too much inventory, experts expect 70% of Black Friday prices to be back in stores during the last-minute shopping rush. "Some of the prices are even lower than the door-buster deals on Black Friday," Mike Fridgen, CEO of the price-predicting site Decide.com, told NBC News. "So these are exceptional deals."
(MORE: Beware Panic Shopping! How to Make a Last-Minute Gift Count)
"I'd be surprised if anything isn't on sale," one Macy's executive said to the Detroit News, which offered this other insight on the likelihood of huge last-minute markdowns as well:
"The size of the discounts is more aggressive when you feel the consumer is more cautious. And most retailers believe the consumers are more cautious this year. So they're trying to incentivize more," said Tom Lounibos, the CEO of SOASTA, a Web and mobile performance and analytics company in Mountain View, Calif.
The discounting on electronics and clothing is expected to be especially aggressive, though prices should be as good or better during the post-Christmas sales. For that matter, the bargain-tracking site dealnews expects that, like last year, some retailers will try to catch the attention of shoppers by starting their "after Christmas" sales a few days before Christmas. It's all semantics, of course, and what matters most to shoppers should be that they're getting the goods they want, at the price they want.
As for shoppers who still need to gather gifts that can be doled out on December 25, they're likely to simply want to check items off their lists in jiffy—and in the easiest ways possible. With that in mind, here are some very last-minute approaches:
Ship to Store
Sure, you could just head over to any number of stores and wander the aisles looking for inspiration. But the clock is ticking, and saving time is as easy as purchasing presents online with the free "ship to store" option offered by most major retailers. Despite the name, in many cases, there's no real shipping involved. The store just gathers the items from its in-house inventory and has them ready for you to pick up. In any event, it's convenient—beats hunting through the aisles to find these items yourself. Make your purchase in the morning and by midday or early afternoon, the order should be ready for you to pick up locally at Walmart, Best Buy, Sears, and other stores.
(MORE: Why Holiday Season 'Self-Gifting' Is Such a Huge Retail Trend)
Traditional In-Store Shopping
While the weekend's all-night shopping hours have passed and many retailers are closing early on Christmas Eve (around 6 p.m. is typical), some stores are maintaining extended hours on December 24. Target stores are open until 9 p.m. on Monday, and most Toys R Us and Barnes & Noble stores won't shut their doors until 10 p.m.
Monthly Clubs
For the right person, an "… of the month club" (ice cream, beer, book, cheese) is the perfect gift. Givers may find such presents even more perfect—because you can reveal the gift in a nice card on Christmas morning without telling anyone you paid for it minutes beforehand. MarketWatch recently put together a list of some of the more unusual and quirky (read: personalized) monthly clubs, which deliver a regular shipment of bacon, exotic fruit, socks, caviar, or dog treats.
Gift Cards
Conveniently, the most requested gift this season—favored by 60% of consumers—is also among the easiest to buy: It's the gift card, a range of which is probably available at your local supermarket and drugstore. The popularity of gift cards shouldn't come as a surprise considering the rise of another holiday trend: self-gifting. In both cases, what we see is that people increasingly want to cut to the chase and just pick out something for themselves.
Many retailers and restaurants make it especially tempting to buy gift cards at this time of year with the advent of special bonus cards awarded with each purchase—think $5 extra for every $25 spent. Most of these "cards" can be purchased in digital versions too, meaning it's not even necessary to leave the house. Unsurprisingly, Transaction Wireless predicted that December 24 would be the biggest day of the year for e-gift card sales. The possibilities include Fandango, Amazon, Starbucks, Sony, and more—with the latter offering a $20 bonus with the purchase of a $100 digital card.
The IOU
Don't be ashamed: 4% of respondents in the CR poll said they'd be handing out IOUs on Christmas morning. Stuff happens. And people who love you will understand. The folks receiving an IOU may even like it better this way because, thanks to guilt and embarrassment, you're likely to promise more than you would have given had you gotten your act together on time.
(MORE: Sure Enough, 2012 Will Go Down as the Most Expensive Year Ever for Gas)
Years of marketing efforts have pumped up gift cards as the more thoughtful, more personal, just-as-practical alternative to cash. But let's be real: When you have to argue that something is "just as good," the truth is that it's not quite as good. There's a mental hurdle that exists for givers and recipients alike that stops some from admitting this is so, but deep down we all understand that cold hard cash is still the world's most useful gift to receive. For proof, one needs to look no further than the fact that many gift cards never get used. Does cash ever sit in a draw for months or years because it's too much of a hassle to use it? Cash never comes with fees either.
If handing over plain cash just seems too crass, consider some of the many creative ways featured on Pinterest that cash has been doled out to recipients. Then again, that sort of creativity probably takes up time that you don't have.

Republican Chris Christie's decision Monday to drop his administration's legal challenge to same-sex marriage made perfect sense for the governor of New Jersey,
But for the potential 2016 presidential candidate, whose path would presumably start in Iowa — where the Republican Party is dominated by social conservatives — the calculation is a bit more complicated.
Bob Vander Plaats, Iowa's powerful evangelical conservative, put it bluntly Monday.
"Gov. Christie has basically backed away from one of the most fundamental social institutions — marriage, between one man and one woman," said Vander Plaats, who heads The Family Leader organization and is considering a U.S. Senate run.
"This is not going to play well for him if he chooses to enter the Republican primary for president of the United States," he said. "It will have tentacles way beyond Iowa."
Politicos in New Hampshire, which traditionally follows Iowa in the primary ramp up, disagree.
"In no way does this negatively affect Gov. Christie here," says James Pindell, who writes Political Scoop and is the on-air political analyst for New Hampshire's WMUR-Channel 9.
"We've had gay marriage here since 2009," Pindell says, noting that it was a Republican-dominated state Legislature that beat back the last attempt to repeal the law.
"The lay of the land is not Iowa," he says.
Now, let's back up.
In New Jersey, polls show that more than 60 percent of voters support legalizing gay marriage and that an overwhelming majority wanted Christie — who is running for re-election next month — to drop his appeal of a court decision legalizing same-sex marriage in the state.
The openly gay daughter of Christie's Democratic opponentin the race, state Sen. Barbara Buono, has also been using the governor's opposition to same-sex marriage — he vetoed the state gay marriage bill last year — to help raise money for her mom.
"For Christie, this takes away an issue that Barbara Buono had been hitting hard," says Bob Ingle, senior political columnist for Gannett New Jersey newspapers. "We're a blue state, and the surprise in this was that it took this long."
Christie, who as a politician has consistently opposed same-sex marriage, couched his announcement in familiar conservative "activist court" terms.
"Although the governor strongly disagrees with the court substituting its judgment for the constitutional process of the elected branches or a vote of the people," a statement from his office read, "the court has now spoken clearly as to their view of the New Jersey Constitution, and, therefore, same-sex marriage is the law."
Christie's decision to abandon a legal challenge came on the same day The Washington Post published afront-page articleon efforts by some deep-pocketed Republican donors to "push the party toward a more welcoming middle ground."
That middle ground may ultimately be occupied by candidates who oppose same-sex marriage, the paper reported, but donors like hedge fund executive Paul Singer, whose son is gay, are encouraging rhetoric that is less hateful and supporting federal legislation barring workplace discrimination against gay Americans.
"It's important to remember that LGBT equality is more than just marriage," says Michael Cole-Schwartz of the Human Rights Campaign, a national gay rights advocacy group.
The campaign is working with Singer's American Unity Fund to promote the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would prohibit hiring and workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. The Senate, controlled by Democrats, is expected to consider it before year's end, Cole-Schwartz says.
Its prospects for seeing daylight in the GOP-controlled House, however, remain dim, at best.
"We do realize," Cole-Schwartz says, "that the House Republican leadership has not shown any appetite to bring these measures to a vote."
In Iowa, Vander Plaats dismissed the "middle ground" efforts as a rejection of what he characterized as "core value issues."
"If the party and party leaders walk away from core value issues, this wing will walk away from the party," he said. "The party needs a leader who is a full-spectrum conservative on social issues like marriage, on fiscal issues like Obamacare and the debt ceiling, and on liberty issues like the role of the courts."
Someone, he says, like Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
Christie was already in the sights of social conservatives for opposing so-called gay-conversion therapy for minors, and nominating an openly gay judge to the state Supreme Court.
"I don't see outrage," Vander Plaats says about reaction to Christie among those in his wing of the party, "just confirmation of their suspicions."
Same-sex marriage became legal in Iowa in 2009 through a state Supreme Court decision. A recent pollshowed that while a majority of the state's voters oppose a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriages, a majority of Republicans — including 61 percent of evangelical Christians — support such a prohibition.
Back in New Hampshire, Pindell says the state's motto of "Live Free or Die" still informs voters' ideology about social issues.
"Most Republicans when you ask them about abortion or same-sex marriage, their answer is, 'I don't care,' " he said. "This will set Chris Christie apart from what will likely be a crowded primary field, and in a way he could benefit."
Though Ingle, the New Jersey columnist and author of Chris Christie: The Inside Story of His Rise to Power, notes that the 2016 presidential race is still "so far away," it's never too soon to begin the political speculation, right?
Ted Cruz, after all, is heading to Iowa this week to give the keynote address at the state Republican Party's annual Reagan Dinner and to go hunting with Rep. Steve King, a social conservative and Tea Party Republican.

We Still Need This Debate
The important thing right now isn't whether Edward Snowden should be labeled hero or villain. First, let's have the debate he sparked over surveillance and privacy.The important thing right now isn't whether Edward Snowden should be labeled hero or villain. First, let's have the debate he sparked over surveillance and privacy. Then we can decide how history should remember him.
Snowden is the 29-year-old intelligence analyst and computer geek who has been leaking some of the National Security Agency's most precious secrets to journalists from The Washington Post and the Guardian. He is now on the lam, having checked out of the Hong Kong hotel where he was holed up for several weeks as he orchestrated a worldwide media splash that shows no sign of ending.
Snowden betrayed his employer, the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, and his promise not to divulge classified information. He paints what he did as an act of civil disobedience, but he has decided to seek political asylum abroad rather than surrender to authorities and accept the consequences. In published interviews, he comes across as grandiose to the point of self-parody, a legend in his own mind.
He is an imperfect messenger, to say the least. But his message should not be ignored.
Did you know that the NSA is compiling and storing a massive, comprehensive log of our domestic phone calls? I didn't. Nor did I know that the agency sucks in huge volumes of email traffic and other electronic data overseas — not just communications originating in trouble spots such as Pakistan but also in countries such as Germany and Britain. I would have thought that anyone who accused the U.S. government of "omniscient, automatic, mass surveillance," as Snowden did in an exchange with Post contributor Barton Gellman, was being paranoid. Now I'm not so sure.
As President Obama noted, nobody is eavesdropping on the phone calls of U.S. citizens and residents. I'm not certain this could be said about email communications in other countries, some of which take privacy as seriously as we do. British Foreign Secretary William Hague felt obliged Monday to reassure Parliament that "our intelligence-sharing work with the United States is subject to ministerial and independent oversight" and to legislative scrutiny.
But we have oversight of intelligence operations in this country, too. The problem is that the system works more or less like a rubber stamp.
The secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has to issue the orders that allow the NSA to collect "metadata" from telephone providers. But as far as I can tell — we are not allowed to know the content of the court's rulings, and have to make do with crumbs of, well, metadata — the court's standard answer is yes.
In its 34 years of existence, the court has approved more than 30,000 government requests for surveillance authority while rejecting a grand total of 11. That is not what I'd call oversight.
The NSA's snooping is also subject to scrutiny by the intelligence committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The chairmen of those panels — Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich. — have been among the NSA's most vocal supporters in recent days. But since so much of the committees' work is classified, they say they can't tell us why.
And as for Obama, he said last week that "I welcome this debate and I think it's healthy for our democracy." Why, then, didn't he launch the discussion rather than wait for Snowden's leaks?
In the coming debate, someone should explain why a mid-level computer guy working for a private contractor had access to so many of the NSA's most closely held secrets. Someone should explain why the intelligence court is evidently so compliant. Someone should explain — perhaps in French, German and Spanish — why our allies' emails are fair game for the agency's prying eyes.
But here's the big issue: The NSA, it now seems clear, is assembling an unimaginably vast trove of communications data, and the bigger it gets, the more useful it is in enabling analysts to make predictions. It's one thing if the NSA looks for patterns in the data that suggest a nascent overseas terrorist group or an imminent attack. It's another thing altogether if the agency observes, say, patterns that suggest the birth of the next tea party or Occupy Wall Street movement.
Is that paranoia? Then reassure me. Let's talk about the big picture and decide, as citizens, whether we are comfortable with the direction our intelligence agencies are heading. And let's remember that it was Snowden, not our elected officials, who opened this vital conversation.

The legend of the man is sheltered these days behind high fences of respect. Were the real Washington on hand today, that might not be the case, and therein may lie a lesson. By our modern measures, George Washington did not read the right books: he relished how-to-do-it texts, with their new ideas on the use of manure, turning soil and animal husbandry. He did not delve very far into art, philosophy or science. Nor did he speak foreign languages (Thomas Jefferson spoke or read five). Washington never traveled to Europe, while Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Jefferson all spent years there. Aloof and remote, meticulous in his wardrobe, he was not one of the boys, and he was never an accomplished public speaker.
Washington's military achievements are admired for their perseverance rather than their brilliance. The Battle of Trenton might have been as important a conflict as this nation ever won. His victory brought the Revolution back to life: the colonies dared hope again for independence, France began to look with more favor on the American struggle, and Britain began to lose heart. But the battle itself was technically a shambles.
(MORE: A Brief History of (What You Think Is) Presidents' Day)
The first President sometimes looked on his 22 years of public service as a kind of prison sentence that took him away from his Virginia estate — Washington accumulated nearly 100,000 acres of land in his last years and was judged one of the wealthiest men in the nation. His favorite recreation was fox hunting, and he was a slaveholder, though, unlike Jefferson, he set his more than 125 slaves free in his will.
George Washington was sensible and wise. He was not the most informed or imaginative of men. But he understood himself and this nation-to-be. His heart and mind were shaped by his family, his land, his community and the small events that touched him every day. He had the tolerance of a landsman, the faith that comes with witnessing the changing seasons year in and year out. Optimism, perseverance, patience and an eager view of the distant horizon have always been a gift of the earth to those who stayed close to it.

A flat each of the five varieties of fresh figs & 8 pounds of dried figs! Oh, what a treat!
The first thing Matt did was start tasting each variety to see what the differences were in flavor.
From left to right:
Sierra: A newer hybrid fig. Wonderfully sweet, this one was our favorite for eating fresh.
Brown Turkey: We were familiar with these since they grow behind my parents house in Memphis. My dad likes to pick them in the morning & have them on his cereal. They also make a fantastic pink jam.
Kadota: This one had the most subtle flavor & was the least sweet of the bunch.
Black Mission: I think of these as the chefs fig. We liked them least for just eating fresh but I can't wait to turn them into sauce for duck.
Calimyrna: I loved the flavor of these, reminded me of a peach with a touch of pear.
Believe me there was a lot of snacking of figs going on yesterday on our house. They are so ripe it was hard to resist. Luckily, figs are good for you too, providing more fiber than any other fruit or vegetable.
I made three batches yesterday, Brown Turkey, Calimyrna & Sierra. I think figs make the most gorgeous jam, the jars looks like jewels. I used the same recipe for fig jam that I used last year. It is quick & seems pretty foul-proof. I flavored the Brown Turkey & Calimyrna jams with cinnamon & for the Sierra I used cardamon because I thought that slight citrus flavor would be a good match. Fig jam is great on toast, in oatmeal, on a turkey sandwich or as an appetizer with goat cheese.
Here's some of my other fig recipes to whet your appetite in the meantime...

Quartz Crystals – Their Identification and Meanings – Cathedral Quartz through Crater Quartz
The Metaphysical Properties of Quartz Crystals
Cathedral Quartz through Crater Quartz
There are many viewpoints in the world, and you must sift through them to find your truth. What is right for one person, is not necessarily what is best for another. Also, be aware that a crystal formation may have well documented uses, but others may have discovered new energies and uses. Use this list as a starting point.
Quartz Type
C (continued) |
Cathedral Quartz |
"Rare. One prominent point with parallel points stepping up around all sides, rather like candle drippings." It is usually an opaque crystal formation of one main central point and surrounding parallel ones usually of different widths and lengths, but shorter than the main crystal, all growing on a common base. If clear it is a Lightbrary.
Significant parts of the Akashic Record are manifest in Cathedral Quartz.
These rare entities contain the knowledge of the Universe that humans can understand. They are impersonal teaching crystals that can be accessed by careful study. These crystals can seem uncommonly inert and lifeless when first encountered. However with familiarity and careful study, they warm and seem to be filled with an eerie inner glow often reported to be a faint violet color. If you seek wisdom, enlightenment, and a deep understanding of mankind's place in the universe, both physical and spiritual, no better meditation crystal exists. These crystals are for use by dedicated seekers of Universal Truth. They are worth whatever their price, if used conscientiously. |
Center Point | Literally, the tip of the crystal's point is in the center, and each of the six faces triangular shaped. This type of crystal is also called a Generator. Rare if natural formation: Note: crystal in photo is polished to center point. |
Center Points are very symmetrical focusing crystals that are potent power sources for other crystals. They seem to gather the Universal Life Force and hold it in storage, awaiting a release.
Other crystals kept near a Center Point for a period of time are recharged and renewed. Center Points should be regularly exposed to sunlight and to moonlight to assure they continue to gain and sustain as much Life Force as possible. |
Ceridwen | See Isis |
Champagne Aura |
Champagne Aura are crystals that have been treated with a coating of gold and iron. The coating is very hard and durable.
These crystals are reported to bring the power of the gold to the basic power of the quartz crystal. It is reported to be effective in binding the spiritual to the physical world and to aid in balancing the heart and sacral chakras. Healingcrystals.com says "Champagne Aura can help to ground higher spiritual ideas into physical reality. Meditating with these Champagne Aura Crystal Points can help when working on an issues that rival between the spirit, mind, heart, and instincts, by resolving the conflict that often occurs." |
Chandelier |
Kellie, at Avalon Crystals reports these Chandelier Crystals come from Brazil and have tiny diamond shaped facets around the tip. Check her Chandelier page here.
Chandelier Quartz crystals are relatively new and their metaphysical energies are still to be explored. Kellie reports "chandelier crystals are bringers of light (…that allow )discovery of our Inner Light and what it means to us. " | |
Channel (Face) | See Channeling below |
Channeling | Channeling Crystals have a seven-sided facet flanked with two smaller three sided ones, opposite a three sided one. |
A Channel crystal teaches you to use your inner wisdom to connect to the spirit world. Isabel Silerira in "Quartz Crystals" tells us it also helps you channel your inner light into the world. There are 434 different types of channeling crystals. Each type will connect you to a specific group, entity or source of specialized knowledge within the Spirit world.
Imagine you find an ancient temple and deep within its sacristy is an altar on which you see a seven layer stack of crystals with each level having seven rows of seven crystals. You noticed that each crystal seems to glow with a different hue, intensity and saturation of the colors of the rainbow. But the glowing colors within the crystals are not the colors of the crystals but of the knowledge flowing through them. This metaphor will help you visualize the 434 types of channeling crystals. When you acquire one, of course it will appear clear. However, study it carefully and take the time to determine its hidden hue, intensity, and saturation and keep a careful record of the knowledge it brings you. Once you have determined its energy, use it for meditation or healing as appropriate. You should mark such crystals with black ink near the base to indicate their hue, intensity and saturation so you can use them without undue study each time you need one. There is a good guide tousing Channelling crystals written by Anji Gill-Jennings here. note record keeper markings on the photo, (small triangles) |
Channeling (8-faced) |
Eight faced Channeling crystals have a eight-sided facet or facet opposite a three-sided one. These have indistinguishable power and energy from the normal Channels, at least as far as has yet been determined. See Channeling above.
Chard | See Sheet Quartz |
Chimney Crystal |
A Chimney crystal is a thin sheet of crystal connecting two crystal points.
Chimney Crystals are usually parts of other crystal formations. The Chimney is a conduit crystal used in mediation when a deep longing for a companion needs to be fulfilled. | |
Chisel Quartz |
Chisel crystals are wide, relatively flat crystals with wide beveled faces that looks like a chisel.
Chisel forms of Quartz Crystals are specialized formations used by Spiritual Healers for physic surgery. They are used to separate harmful energies from the light body. Harmful energies are destructive to balance and wellness.
When ordinary healing efforts are ineffective, the use of Chisel Quartz can often bring the relief that is needed. These are powerful crystals not to be used indiscriminately in healing. They have some uses as personal talismans. They are primarily used in efforts to correct bad habits. They will help focus and amplify your power to keep separated from environments, people, and influences you wish to remove from your life. |
Chlorite Quartz | Quartz containing green Chlorite inclusions. Note: Chlorite is a group of minerals, not a single mineral. |
Chlorite Quartz brings the monoclinic crystal structure of the Chlorite to the hexagonal crystal structure of the quartz. The monoclinic crystal structure of the Chlorite gives the crystal powerful Guardian powers. The dark green rays bring the power of physical growth to the crystal.
Use Chlorite Quartz as a healing crystal to promote vigorous growth such as when injury has caused a period of inactivity and now strength has to be regained. |
Chocolate Window | Quartz from Chinese mine that has some edges darkened by Hematite. Not a Window Quartz. |
Chocolate Quartz are meditation crystals for increasing optimism and overall contentment with one's lot. The world always can seem to have a dark future, but this formation teaches us to look beyond the darkness and see the fundamental light of truth and the happiness its knowledge brings. | |
Chrysoprase | Chrysoprase is the bright apple green translucent chalcedony (a crypto crystalline quartz.) The color comes from nickel. Best material now coming from Australia. |
Chrysoprase has a powerful green ray of influence, and is a stone of the Heart Chakra. When the heart chakra is in balance we can understand our own needs and emotions clearly. We are able to sustain balanced relationships as a result: healthy, happy, and mutually nurturing. It promotes a youthful outlook on life.
Chrysoprase is a stone of fertility and renewal, and has been used in aiding efforts to bring new life into a family, a community, or an organization. Chrysoprase can help you seek and find productivity, progress, prosperity, material success, and advancement. It is a potent talisman for efforts directed at career advancement. |
Cluster Quartz |
"A Quartz Cluster is three or more crystal with a common base."
Quartz clusters do not have any specific metaphysical attributes. Rather they harbor the Universal Energy in a wide variety of forms and shapes. They need study and contemplation to reveal the power they harbor.
Study of the larger crystals will provide the clues needed to decipher the power and energy of a cluster. Quartz clusters are used in devotions to the Goddess Ixcuiname, the Mayan Goddess of the Four Ages of Women. The photo is a cluster of spirit quartz. |
Comet Crystal |
A comet crystal has a grouping of indentations on or more sides that have trailing, spraying edges appearing like a comet.
Comet Crystals are very rare. These crystals are meditation crystals used for a very specific purpose. They bring the wandering spirit of the Universal Life Force to increase your joy of travel and adventure while you are bound in your daily life cycle. | |
Color Veils | See Rainbow. |
Companion |
This is a family of Quartz shapes that includes Twins, Bridge, Inner Child, Penetrator, Soul Mates, Tantric Twins, Twin Flames, Dolphins, and others. What they all have in common is their duality and their uses in focusing the Universal Life Force on the relationship between two people. No crystal should be identified just as a Companion. Its specific nomenclature should be used.
Consumption Crystal |
A crystal that appears to be consuming another one. The crystals are aligned.
Consumption Crystals are used as personal talismans. They bring the power to maintain one's identity even in intimate relationships. | |
Convoluted Sheet Quartz |
Convoluted Sheet Quartz is a milky, twisted quartz shape formed over other minerals that often subsequently dissolves, leaving holes and vacancies in the quartz.
Convoluted Sheet Quartz is a meditation stone used to increase our abilities to adapt and change as the world changes around us.
We are told at Shamrock Crystals that "Meditation with a convoluted sheet quartz crystal is an excellent method for learning to cope with new environments. In addition, past-life dreams are prevalent. During meditation with this mineral, one It is useful in multi-directional energy distribution; it appears that the energy, |
Crater Crystal |
Crater Crystals have a indentation or crater where another crystals was once attached but is now absent. The crater can be either a crystal or a cluster. If the indentation is 3 or 6 sided and becomes narrower as it penetrates, the crystal is Key Crystal.
Craters are crystals used to deal with loss and separation.
We all face difficult times when loved ones are no longer with us. Grief is a natural process of healing. Crater crystals are personal talismans that should be carried on your person to ease the pain of grief, loss, and separation. They will focus the healing power of the Universal Life Force to enable you to grow and carry on your life in the face of sorrow. |

Rubby De La Rosa (3-4, 3.73) vs. Juan Nicasio (4-2, 3.88).
Last time the Dodgers faced Juan Nicasio, at Coors Field, they touched him for four runs over five innings. Matt Kemp did most of the damage with a solo homer and a two-RBI triple. But it gets better — Nicasio underperforms on the road, sporting a 9.00 ERA away from Coors. Kemp, who went 2 for 4 yesterday, could break out his supposed mini-slump (he's "only" slugging .486 since the All-Star break) and rock the Rox sox off tonight.

Elections 2010: The morning after the evening after the morning before
Morning, all. While you slept, the Labour Party re-gained control of Lewisham Council in convincing fashion, routing 5 of our 6 Green councillors in the process.
Labour now has an absolute majority on the council.
11.40am update:
The overall make-up of the new council (with 1 ward still to declare, as it requires a re-count) is as follows:
Labour 38
Lib Dem 12
Green 1
Full details for each ward are available here.
Thanks so much to Jo, Sue Luxton and everyone else who contributed with information and comment throughout the (very long!) evening.
BC would like to wish good luck to all the newly-elected councillors, and offer thanks to all those who've lost their seats for their hard work over the years.
11.40 Update
Those remaining ward results for you:
Blackheath ward:
Kevin Bonavia (Lab)
Amanda De Ryk (Lib Dem)
Chris Maines (Lib Dem)
Downham ward -
Duwayne Brooks (Lib Dem)
Jenni Clutten (Lib Dem)
Julia Fletcher (Lib Dem)
Rushey Green ward -
Peggy Fitzsimmons (Labour)
Helen Klier (Labour)
John Muldoon (Labour)
Grove Park ward:
recount necessary
02.30 Update
Total council seat results so far:
Labour 34
Lib Dems 7
Greens 1
14 wards down, 4 to go.
Thanks so much to Jo and Sue Luxton, whose reporting of these results we've shamelessly hijacked. Sleep well, everyone ...
02.22 Update
Telegraph Hill ward: 3 Labour:
Paul Bell - 2861
Joan Millbank - 2735
Dan Whittle - 2235
Incumbent socialists Ian Page got 1362 and Chris Flood 1216.
Catford South ward: 3 Labour:
Skip Amrani - 2703
Alan Smith - 2722
Eva Stamirowski - 1885
02.07 Update
The tipping point has been reached: LABOUR WINS ABSOLUTE MAJORITY ON LEWISHAM COUNCIL.
Lee Green ward:
Pauline Beck (Lib Dem)
Sven Griesenbeck (Lib Dem)
Jim Mallory (Lab)
Total council seat results so far:
Labour 28
Lib Dems 7
Greens 1
12 wards down, 6 to go
02.03 Update
A summary of the position so far on the all-new Lewisham Council:
Labour 27
Lib Dems 5
Greens 1
11 wards down, 7 to go (Telegraph Hill is an interesting one - can it hang onto its incumbent socialists?). I think we can all see where this is trending ... Labour are set for a clear majority. I'll keep logging results until I fall asleep, which might not be long now ...
01.50 Update
Lewisham Central ward: 3x Labour. Regular BrockleyCentral contributor Max Calo loses his bid to become a Lib Dem councillor for the ward.
01.46 Update
A summary of the position so far on the all-new Lewisham Council:
Labour 24
Lib Dems 5
Greens 1
10 wards down, 8 to go.
01.42 Update
Perry Vale ward: 3x Labour
Evelyn ward: 3x Labour
01.34 Update
Brockley ward:
Darren Johnson (Green) 2330
Vicky Foxcroft (Lab) 2632
Jimi Adefiranye (Lab) 2449
Things have quietened down a bit. If the flow of results doesn't start up again soon I'm going to nod off, so we may need to finish this off in the morning.
01.13 Update
Crofton Park ward: 2x Lab (Addison and Morrison), 1 Lib Dem (Bowen), according to Sue Luxton. Greens were in third place.
01.08 Update
Bellingham ward: 3x Labour.
Alan Hall (2380), Ami Ibitson (2269) and Ron Stockbridge (1925).
Lib Dems and Conservatives in region of 800-1200; Jenny Stewart of LPBP ahead of Greens on 318.
That's six results down, 12 more to go in the Lewisham Council elections.
BC is beginning to suspect that everyone at the BBC has gone to bed, as their local elections webpage hasn't been updated for ages and is showing incorrect totals. So no developments to bring you on that front.
01.03 Update
3 x Labour in Ladywell, Sue Luxton reports on Twitter.
Darren Johnson holds his seat, but Dean Walton and Romaine Phoenix lose theirs in Brockley ward, she says.
00.57 Update
Forest Hill ward:
Alex Feakes (Lib Dem) 3144
Philip Peake (Lib Dem) 2405
Anne Affiku (Labour) 2154
Other Lib Dem and Labour around 2000 votes each. Conservatives in 900-1200 range. Greens averaging about 500 votes.
00.45 Update
Isn't it annoying that all the TV news channels choose to entirely ignore the fascinating and complex local elections picture in favour of endless moronic talking heads, repeating nonsense phrases like it's going out of fashion. Across the country, counts have been going on today, with thousands of candidates, counters, spectators and voters waiting to find out the results, and yet not a peek of any of it on the main news channels. I do understand that it's terribly important to say nothing over and over again repeatedly in a tone of increasing agitation, but still, you'd think they'd want to come up for air occasionally ...
00.25 Update
New Cross ward: 3 x Labour. Long, Maslin and Padmore 'all on approx 2,500 votes with next candidate down on 947', Jo reports.
Whitefoot ward: Pattison (Lib Dem) 2030, Foreman (Lib Dem) 1925, Daby (Labour) 2375.
'Other Lib Dem and Labour candidates around 1500 votes each. Conservative 800-900 range', Jo reports.
Sydenham ward: Best, Curren and Nisbet (all Labour).
00.00 Update
Tower Hamlets Labour (no change).
Ho hum. Would be interested in an explanation of why nearly every other council in the country has managed to declare by now, yet Lewisham hasn't.
23.25 Update
Along with Lewisham's result, we're now waiting for the following handful: Brent, Hackney, Havering, Kingston, Lambeth, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Westminster.
23.05 Update
Camden Labour gain from no overall control. Ealing Labour gain from Conservatives. Merton no overall control.
22.55 Update
Jo reports from the count: 'Quick update from the count. Lots of glum faces ... except the ones wearing red rosettes. The teams of counters are working their way through the ward councillor votes. Lots of split votes, so suspect results will be later than the estimated 11pm.'
Thanks, Jo, for the updates!
22.28 Update
The overall picture in London so far tonight: the Conservatives have done well at holding councils of which they already had control, but the major gains of the night have been for Labour. London's Parliamentary vote turned out strongly for Labour, and this pattern is being replicated in the local council elections too. The party has really entrenched its control across large parts of the city. To what degree is this a reaction against London Mayor Boris Johnson?
22.15 Update
Hounslow Labour gain from no overall control. Merton no overall control. Labour mayors of Hackney and Newham re-elected. Tories take Richmond from the Lib Dems. Labour takes Waltham Forest from no overall control. Labour holds Newham (winning all 60 seats) and Haringey.
21.20 Update
Some more London council results for you: Barnet is a Conservative hold; Bexley Con hold; Bromley Con hold; Croydon Con hold; Islington is a Labour gain from no overall control.
Councils whose results we're still waiting for:
Lewisham, Brent, Southwark, Camden, Ealing, Hackney, Haringey, Havering, Hounslow, Lambeth, Merton, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Westminster.
Hackney and Newham are also electing mayors; both currently have Labour incumbents who are fighting for a further term of office.
21.10 Update
The detailed position currently at this end of Lewisham:
Telegraph Hill ward: Ian Page (Socialist), Chris Flood (Socialist), Robin Cross (Labour)
Brockley ward: Darren Johnson (Green), Dean Walton (Green), Romaine Phoenix (Green)
Crofton Park ward: Jarman Parmar (Labour), Jackie Addison (Labour), Sylvia Scott (Labour)
Ladywell ward: Mike Keogh (Green), Sue Luxton (Green), Ute Michel (Green)
New Cross ward: Stephen Padmore (Labour), Madeliene Long (Labour), Paul Maslin (Labour)
We're now waiting to see which of these councillors will hold their seat, and which will be out. Gosh, BC feels a bit like Heidi Klum (that's a Project Runway reference, for the boys among you) ....
20.46 Update
And so, the final countdown. Counting for seats on Lewisham Council begins. To summarise the current position:
Labour 26 seats
Lib Dem 17
Green 6
Conservative 3
The Greens are talking down expectations. Labour increased its vote substantially in the Parliamentary elections, and gave Sir Steve Bullock a third term in office: could Labour voters sweep all before them?
20.34 Update
Lewisham Mayoral election result: Labour hold. Sir Steve Bullock has won a third term in office.
Steve Bullock (Labour) 52,531 (with 4670 second prefs)
Chris Maines (Lib Dem) 36,446 (with 10,001 second prefs)
Thanks again to Jo for the info.
19.31 Update
First round votes:
Steve Bullock (Labour) 47,861
Tess Culnane (BNP) 2,904
Graham Dare (English Democrats) 1,559
John Hamilton (LPBP) 5,964
Chris Maines (Lib Dem) 26,445
Simon Nundy (Con) 16,276
Dean Walton (Green) 6,560
Second round count between Steve Bullock and Chris Maines with 33,263 second preference votes to be redistributed.
Thanks to Jo in our comments section for providing the info.
19.15 Update
First round of the mayoral election due, according to Anon in our comments section.
How it works: Unlike the council and Parliamentary elections, the mayoral election uses the supplementary vote system. This means that voters select first-choice and second-choice candidates. In the first round of voting, first-choice votes are counted. If someone has won over 50% of the total, they are declared the winner. If no-one has achieved over 50% of the first-choice votes, all but the leading 2 candidates are rejected. Their second-choice votes are then counted, and added onto the votes already achieved by the two leading candidates. Whichever one has the highest total wins.
18.55 Update
Ladywell Green councillor Sue Luxton has just Tweeted: 'Just woken up having got back from GE count at 10am heading off to locals count soonish. Braced for total/ near total wipeout :( '
18.20 Update
A note on timing: Lewisham Council advises that the Mayoral election result will be announced some time 'after 8pm' this evening, with local council results out 'after 11pm' sometime.
18.00 Update
Greenwich Council remains in Labour hands. Wandsworth remains Tory-controlled.
Nationally, UKIP have so far lost (net) 5 councillors. BNP are down 22 councillors. Greens are down 2. Lib Dems are down 49. Labour are up 239. Conservatives are down 82.
17.45 Update
Let's review some of the London council results. Labour have taken control of Enfield from the Tories. Hammersmith & Fulham, Hillingdon and Kensington & Chelsea all remained in Conservative hands. Sutton remains Lib Dem. Lots of councils still to declare.
17.30 Update
The markets have become more wobbly during the day, as the prospect of coalition talks developed. If there isn't a clear deal by Monday morning, we could be in for a bumpy ride.
17.06 Update
The Barking & Dagenham results are in: Labour take 51 seats, BNP 0. A stunning result, and a total triumph for the Hope Not Hate campaign.
16.58 Update
Let's have a look at General Election turnout in our constituency, Lewisham Deptford. In 2005, it was 51.5%. This year it soared to 61.5%. This is still low compared to the national average, but it's a big increase. The main benefactor was winner Joan Ruddock, who took 22,132 votes in comparison to the 16,902 she polled in 2005. The Lib Dems nearly doubled their vote, and the Conservatives also saw an increase. By contrast the Greens actually lost votes: this doesn't bode well for their local elections performance.
16.30 Update
According to the BBC, a third of council results are in, and the situation is as follows:
Labour gained Hartlepool, Liverpool, Coventry, Doncaster, and Enfield.
The Tories lost control of Lincoln, Brentwood, Solihull, Hyndburn, Mole Valley, Nuneaton & Bedworth, Bury, and North Tyneside.
The Liberal Democrats lost Rochdale and Sheffield.
As national attention remains rivetted on the process of coalition talks, local election counts are starting up around the country.
We kick off with some news which we think BC readers of all political stripes can unite in rejoicing over: the BNP's Richard Barnbrook has reportedly lost his seat on Barking & Dagenham Council. It's looking like a trouceing for the far right.
BC will be covering further developments as they happen, and of course will bring you Lewisham Council and mayoral results as we get them ... (BK is not planning on pulling another all-nighter, though, you'll be glad to hear).

Bees for Development
22 Oct 2012
Ethiopian beekeepers from Slow Food Presidia projects attended the ApiExpo Africa event in Addis Ababa over September 26-30, a biennial event to promote African honey and other bee products organized this year under the theme "Beekeeping for Food Security and Combating Climate Change". They were joined by more than 2,000 delegates from 20 African countries – including producers, buyers, researchers and honey trade support networks – as well as agricultural suppliers from the Middle East, Europe and the USA.
Ethiopia has strong historical links with traditional beekeeping practices and the Oromia, Amhara, Southern Nation and Nationalities People and Tigray regions were represented by small-scale honey producers and cooperatives as well as large cooperatives and private producers. Ethiopia is infact the world's ninth largest honey-producing nation, and Africa's biggest, and yet the Ethiopian Apiculture Board reveals the national annual capacity is 500,000 tons of honey compared to the 43,000 tons currently produced. As one of the world's poorest countries, this represents a great potential to increase the livelihood of small-scale producers, but many need assistance in increasing product quality and marketing for the local and international market.
Among the small-scale beekeepers present, members of the Wenchi Volcano Honey and Tigray White Honey Presidia and other producers from the Honeys of Ethiopia Network – supported by the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity in partnership with the Italian organizations Modena per gli altri (MOxA), Terre del Terzo Mondo and Conapi) – attracted great attention for the steps they have taken towards these goals. With thousands of honeys on display, products from the Honeys of Ethiopia producers were applauded for their high quality and professional marketing, and despite having a higher purchase price, their honey sold out in the first two days.
The event was an excellent opportunity for exchange and sharing information to build the success of the sector across Africa and to learn of new opportunities. The honey network producers had the opportunity to watch the production of propoli and wax by beekeepers from Gambella, and believe it is a good secondary opportunity for them to work on in the future.
The Italian company LEGA, producers of beekeeping equipment, made the producers' participation possible by covering the exhibition stand expenses.
ApiEXPO Africa was launched internationally in Uganda 2008 by 11 African countries, and Zimbabwe will host the fourth edition in 2014.

Facebook is a CIA data-mining operation used to gather and store massive amounts of valuable information about hundreds of millions of people. All this info is then used by governments and corporations to target individuals or demographics they're interested in exploiting. These 5 videos above showcase (often very humorously) the many pitfalls and negative aspects of using Facebook, from being "tagged" in lame photos, to changing the meaning of "friendship," to a complete loss of privacy. I'm currently still hypocritically on Facebook using it to promote my books/websites, but if it's any consolation, I only use it to expose these institutions trying to control us, and some day soon when the disadvantages out-weigh the benefits I'll join the ranks of proud ex-facebookers. Peace
36 comments:
No doubt, I deleted my account, the messages, any friend links, but fortunately, I was never into those social networking sites, so my account was very bare minimum.
Nonetheless, even if you delete all your stuff, they still keep records of it.
I removed my pictures from my websites a while ago, although for different reasons ;)
In a perfect world, these would be great tools for the good of all.
Not in this dimension! - March 22, 2011 at 7:06 PM
I really enjoy your site and appreciate all the bits of information you give.
I deleted my face-book account, although I'm not as popular as most having only 43 friends, wink wink.
The one beef I have is the filthy language. I can't recommend this particular post. I know we're all grown-ups but we really don't need to use such harsh words to get our point across.
Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this blog. - March 23, 2011 at 5:37 AM

Thanks for the comments. Sorry about the title. I went back and forth about the title for a while and asked a few folks before deciding fuck it, we're all adults here, the F--K F------K alliteration just seemed too good to pass up. :) I'm not one to use swear words often, but I'm also not one to completely abstain from them and thereby giving these certain words some illusory negative power over me. Know what I mean?

I deleted my fuckbook account last year and never looked back....
I can understand you use your account for promotion I used it that way to...but I think all the pricate data I had in there will never be really deleted...so I hope you dont have that much private things in your account eric - March 23, 2011 at 12:56 PM

At the moment I´m looking at facebook as a form to expose the shit we are in , i like checking globalist magazines , join the comments and expose the truth , i have no friends whatsoever neither I want to , but i think it´s a way of checking on where the sheeple is being lead to in many occasions , i hope I´m right.
In the meantime , check the videos here, about Lybia(leaks): http://anonymousdelsur.blogspot.com/ - March 24, 2011 at 2:38 AM
Im still busy deleting a whole lot of other ish off my facebook as im typing this . . but facebook is one of the main tools i use to promote my music as i am an artist as well as a music producer. . . alot of it is exposing the elite and spreading consciousness . . i need some advice on what i should do though, i have about almost 2000 'friends' . . what i would rather look at as a database to promote my music to. . at first i was using facebook for my personal account but im now thinking of creating a new account under my producer/artist name and inviting as much of the same people as possible. . just for promotional use and then deactivate my old account. . . think its a plan?? Obviously the new profile will not have any of my proper info?

Yeah, as long as you're limiting your use to things that benefit you and not "them" I can see the advantages to using facebook and that's why I'm still on there.
I think the internet world needs to perform a "controlled release" of these huge big brother sites that censor, track, trace, and database us such as Google, Facebook, and YouTube. We can't ignore their popularity, thus their potential in helping people, but we also can't ignore the fact that there are other search engines, social networks, and streaming media sites out there, free, independent, sites without an agenda that won't censor, track, trace or database us, and we should slowly release ourselves from the grips of these big brother sites in favor of more diversity among more various free/independent sites. - March 25, 2011 at 6:39 PM

I love your blog, its wonderful. ive been researching Libya trying to find the raw info behind the entire U.S.A UK and French intervention but i wanted to see if uve collected any data on that? iam very interested in what you have to say on the matter. Btw i love the new radio thing :)
my best of love from Costa Rica - March 27, 2011 at 8:38 PM

Hey Jaigurudev, that makes me think of that great Beatles song, Across the Universe. Thanks for the comment. I haven't been researching the Libya situation too deeply, let me know if you find anything interesting. It seems to me the hidden hand is fomenting the grounds for a WWIII in the middle east much like Albert Pike's letter about the 3 world wars needed to bring in the New World Order. Sadam Hussein was a cruel dictator so we go and "help" by killing his population. Mumbarek is a cruel dictator so we go and "help" by killing his population. Gadaffi is a cruel dictator soooo, yeah... it's all a puppet show by the big media (owned by banks and weapons corporations) to justify and rile up populations to blow the hell out of each other.

Facebook (or as I like to call it, Fecesbook) brings out the worst in everyone. People from all walks of life act like spoiled whiny teenage girls when on Fecesbook. There are so many more wonderful destinations to explore, both on the 'net and in real life! But all anyone wants to do anymore is screw around on Fecesbook. F**k that noise! Facebook-free and proud of it!

Facebook was addicting for me. I thought that a social-website would be good for me, but turns out the so-called 'friends' from school only add you to make themselves look popular! And who wins? The companies that made it, of-course!
The truth stings! And I found out about this thing being used to mine in information by the cia to countries, and it's sick!
This is a wake-up call for anyone who wants to sign up an account, would you put all your trust into pictures of you, your information, your personal preference, your date of birth, sharing sensitive information, sexual prefrences and the like to a website because it's a 'social-networking site' and 'it's popular'? Wake up! I will delete my facebook and actually use the good ol' way of communicating, the healthy, natural way of communicating called: 'Calling and meeting with people!'
Yes I get ignored when I try to say I'm bored, and that comes to show that no-one is interested in you! If you want attention, find your hobbies, meet people and go from there - It's easy to see why there's people who haven't heard of facebook - and for good reason! I am not an adult, I'm 20 but they aren't clear in their privacy statement. Next-time, I will only rely on myself and not my desperation - for friends.
Please, please please, I urge others, delete your facebook accounts, and if there's friends who love you and you love them - Tell them to do the same, get their numbers via email - like hotmail, and just leave! I deleted my facebook and I'm not going back, ever! I deleted my pictures, but I'm worried I'm not deleting everything! Nothing in this world is perfect, and that's a fact of life!
Also, there's alot of people who want to exploit you for profit and alot of bad as-well as good! Don't fall in and sell yourself short - Be proud that you have self-dignity and self-awareness and always know the truth! Because truth is love, and truth is life! Thank you! - December 19, 2011 at 12:15 AM

Actually, any determined government or data mining company worth its salt doesn't need Shitbook to get tons of info on any person. Shitbook just makes it easier for them.

Since many years I have scanned the Internet for any signs of Shitbook opposition out there, and to my joy there fortunately still are people who walk with their eyes open and wallets closed for huge "big brother" corporations.
My disgust towards Shitbook has been increasing gradually over years as I saw more and more people around me using this stuff. It scares the hell out of me when I think about the kind of unbelievable power Zuckerberg and his shareholders bear in their hands, and the commercial or political goals they could achieve with it.
That damn website is a prequel to a whole new world, my friends. The world in which all humankind will be united within one system. But don't you naively think that we'll live united in peace and blah blah... Perhaps there will be peace, but there also will be complete annihilation of true valors, uniqueness, non-conformist subjects in societies and everything else that may arise from mental variety between peoples.
We all will be damn shit-book robots.
This is the future world vision I often think about, while looking at all this stupid crap and how easily people (also known as sheep) get drawn to it.
Keep on with your stand against shit-book decadence. Hopefully our voice means anything.

Omg! Lmao! I have said "Fuck Facebook" forever! Never heard anyone agree with me. It's like high school on crack! I use it rarely to find past job references. That's it. Never really cared for it but thought it was useful for searching . Then everyone's talking bout it and the more I listened the more disgusted i got. My ex really pushed me over the edge with it with his exes,. Anyway loved the video with the cards. That's all I really wanted to say but went on a small tirade. Have a lot more to say after alota beers.

Atlantis was just Minoan Crete! No conspiracy abounds -- just (over) a billion fools happily posting their entire lives for anyone and all to see. Who would put it past groups like NSA and CIA to mine the data? If it's there for the taking, why not?
I'm often asked how I "manage" to not have Facebook, and the answer is simple: Who needs it?
If I need to get a hold of my friends, I don't need a cool blue website to be my interactive address book and "friend" record.
- October 5, 2012 at 3:48 AM
Yup. I recently no longer found any need for the book. Who cares what the blissfully ignorant do and say. I spent way too much of my precious time trying to help the unknowing masses only to realize my own life was passing me by. Being a "conspiracy theorist" is in fashion now so when you try and talk about reality, you will get "my conspiracy is bigger and more profound than yours". Why bother?
But hey if you feel compelled to educate the unwilling or unknowing masses do so, bit don't waste one second if you have doubts. Its not worth it. - October 11, 2012 at 6:56 AM
why not do as a lot of people do, make it all up. Pretend to be that kid in your school that all the girls were after. older than you want to be, pick any age you like. live in a little town where nothing happens, move without all the expense and hassle of relocating, pick any town you like in any country! are you bugly. take photo's of a random person you would like to look like, and make them into the person you would like to be, intelligent and good looking!

Facebook - I Want My Friends Back! - October 26, 2012 at 2:36 AM
Why is it that people feel they are getting something for nothing? That never happens. You lose your identity and give us all your freedoms of keeping your information somewhat private when you get involved with those such as Facebook and the others. They all promise (smirk, smirk) that they will not compromise your personal information. People are sooo stupid and show complete apathy, since this is completely false. I guess people just dont get it.
All I have is a msn email account and nothing else. So many hound me to join this and that, and I just say...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..... I hold my privacy sacred.
- January 4, 2013 at 2:24 PM
Those videos are spot on. I recently left Facebook too and had to write an article myself on my whole experience with the virtual reality. Thanks for this, I will add a link to you in my blog.
- February 7, 2013 at 3:22 PM
This is my article I wrote and published on Facebook if any of you wish to read it
I hope my experience is some what helpful to others, and encourages them to delete their account. I feel so much better since I deleted it. I have far more better things to do with my time. Facebook just gets in the way of things. Who wants to sit there and see people they fucking hated in school adding them and pretending to be their friend? That always bothered me. Like why do you even care about me now, you used to always pick on me when we were in school?
And you are spot on with it being a CIA mining database. Most people on there don't even care or think about this. If you can't think, how can you speak?
I pray one day we have one day where everyone just walks away from Facebook. - February 8, 2013 at 1:40 PM

I finally deleted my Facebook account due to the manipulative ways this site has taken control over my life and what I choose to do with my time.
I am also a sole proprietor of a massage business and I do not want my facebook account to influence potential clients or even potential employers should I choose to find a part time job on the side. Plus I really hated the fact that my current employer kept tabs on my facebook account as well. My business website does not include a picture of me as I felt that could attract the wrong kind of clientele toward my massage business.
Before deleting my account, I would bing/google my name to see what would come up. My facebook link never seemed to exist. There was another woman of the same name(she was white, I am black) who's profile would pop up above my website. The only reason I found that odd was because I would not be logged into facebook at the time of clicking on "her" facebook link and still my facebook picture/profile would be mixed into hers. A glitch I chose to ignore at the time.
NOW that my account is fully deleted...I woke up to an email from Bing webmaster this morning urging me to submit my business website, which was silly since I have gone through this method months before. So I decided to Bing my name again just to see what would come up.
ABOVE my business website happens to NOW be a black girl (the white one no longer seems to exist) of the same name (this did not exist before)who's page seems COMPLETELY made up of certain interests, hobbies, favs that would be the POLAR OPPOSITE of me. (seriously...this "girl" with my name portrays herself like a complete dumba$$.) There are NO PHOTOS< RECENT ACTIVITY< LOCATION or even FRIENDS linked to her profile page to even indicate that this is a real person. The next, new black girl with my name is simply a picture of a woman who straight up looks like a crackhead. NOTHING else is linked to her profile to make it look like a real person either. Just a profile picture of some cracked out black woman who happens to have my exact same name. If any client or potential employer were to link up with this photo, there first thought would be...hell no.
I have applied to several jobs and I don't even make it to the interview to be SEEN. Any potential employer or potential client can link onto these faux facebook sites that are listed ABOVE MY BUSINESS WEBSITE and ASSUME that I am either a cracked out whore, or a ditsy lady gaga-MTV loving-likes to go to the mall and forever 21 loving moron. ( no offense to the lady gaga fans out there, but this is not the image I would ever want to portray out to the public)
perhaps I'm being paranoid, but I seriously would not put it past the facebook administrators to put up faux facebook links above someones business website to try and "convince" that they MUST put try to save their business reputation and put themselves back onto facebook. My only solution now is to post my picture on my website, and my manta, linked in,yelp, google places---all this SH!T...in order to deter people from assuming I am one of these other "people" out there with NOTHING on their facebook profile that indicates that they are even real people. - May 23, 2013 at 8:10 AM
i have never been on facebook myspace or any of that other bullshit i hate that i have to work my ass off and still starve while these cocksuckers get movies and books and money for doing as little in thier piece of shit lives as possible fuck facebook and those who dont agree
- June 10, 2013 at 3:56 AM
Thank you for helping me verify I have a bit of sanity!!!!!
This is the most narcissistic society EVER!!!
Nobody gives a shit what you are doing...they just want the dirty laundry.....
Really people !
Everything on facebook will haunt your ass in the future mark my words.
Good luck ...LOL.. OMG...wtf! - February 8, 2014 at 8:26 PM
I made the mistake of a myspace acct. back in 06, against my better judgement. never even punched a keyboard until 05 because i really hate the advent of the internet & always knew it was gonna end up doing big brother's dirty work....so after the little taste of spyspace i got out and i just fucking cringe when i hear anybody talking about their social media networking....and it's all really about vicarious living....people get on and they paint fantasies of themselves and try to sell them to everybodyelse...pointless, stupid shit....while the aluminaughty takes notes.......they know how to get people to trap themselves, and then it's great entertainment for the eavesdroppers. So yeah...most definitely fuck facebook. Why do peoples logic centers go to shit when profanity is used? it's so WEAK! So fuckin sick of PC shit

The interior inspection is critical to the accuracy of the report and gives the appraiser specific details of the house which may not be available on public records or on the internet. From the inspection, the appraiser analyzes the available comparable sales data in the defined neighborhood, as well as any pending contracts or listings which will be the basis for our analysis.

The complex residential properties completed for our clients for the past 30 years has given our partners the confidence in our knowledge and professionalism.

Shipping & Delivery
By the box via UPS
Smaller orders generally ship out by the box via UPS instead of using a freight carrier. Shipping multiple boxes at a time is usually cheaper, as each additional box is cheaper than the first box.
Depending on the number of boxes, it might be cheaper to ship the boxes on a pallet with an LTL freight carrier. Your sales representative can assist you in providing you the best possible shipping option possible.
LTL Shipments (By the pallet)
LTL or Less than a load (Multiple pallet shipments). LTL shipments are any orders that require between 1-6 pallets. Generally orders requiring more than 6 pallets will require a full truckload shipment. Please keep in mind that LTL shipping fees will increase if the delivery destination is a residential address and if a liftgate will be required to unload the pallets.
We will always try to assist you with the best shipping option possible prior to finalizing your order.
-Residential pallet deliveries to a residential address may require a liftgate to lower the pallets off of the truck.
-Residential deliveries and liftgate services require an additional charge.
-You can save money if you are able to receive your pallet at a business address or pick up your order at a local freight terminal.
-Residential delivery fees can range between $25-$75, while liftgate fees can range between $35-$75.
-Deliveries are usually dropped curbside or at a loading dock. Drivers will not bring your pallets into your storage space or garage without charging an inside delivery fee. Be prepared to break down the pallet and manually bring your items inside.
-It is very important that you verify your pallet(s) and shrink wrap before signing the delivery receipt or Bill of Lading. If you notice any damage or discrepancies make sure to notate them on the Bill of Lading before you fully accept the merchandise. Make sure to also take pictures of the condition of the pallet. Failure to follow these instructions will significantly lower your chances of receiving any compensation from the freight company.
Truckloads are generally shipped in a 48' or 53' truck. Truckload rates are usually a flat fee and are the same whether the truck is half empty or full. The rate is based on mileage and final destination. Just as LTL shipments truckloads can also be ordered with a liftgate at an additional charge.
26 pallets can be accomodated to fit on a 53' truck without double stacking the pallets. Some pallets depending on the items being shipped can be double stacked as long as both pallets do not exceed 8' in height. By double stacking up to 52 pallets can be shipped on one truck minimizing the cost of shipping per pallet.
- Make sure that you are able to receive a 53' truckloads at your location. Most residential neighborhoods will not allow semi-truck deliveries. If this is the case an additional charge will be added to transfer pallets into a smaller truck for delivery.
-Make sure that you are capable of unloading the truck. You will need to either have a forklift or pallet jack to unload.
-Please notify your sales representative if you require a phone call prior to delivery.
-Customers generally have a maximum of 2 hours to unload the truck, if more time is required an additional fee may be charged. So make sure you have enough help to unload in the allotted time frame.
-Keep in mind that the delivery fee does not include labor. The driver will not assist you in unloading unless a liftgate fee was paid, in which case the driver will assist with lowering the pallets to the curb.
-Shipping quotes are generally quoted with minimal insurance. If you would like to cover the full amount of your invoice please make sure to let your sales representatives know. Keep in mind that this will increase the cost of shipping.
International Shipping
International Shipping Costs:
We are only able to quote International shipments for UPS.com or USPS.com on our website and this is only for box size orders. For larger orders please contact one of our sales representatives as they may be able to assist you in finding a freight forwarder.

Ocean freight fees can cost anywhere from $400-$1000 per pallet depending on the destination and are usually not feasible for low value orders.
Ocean freight containers are usually your best option as the cost can range between $2,500-$6,000 depending on the destination and the size of the container. Containers come in 20', 40' and 45'.

Same-sex ruling has employers tweaking benefits
The Supreme Court's landmark ruling on same-sex marriage has private employers around the country scrambling to make sure their employee benefit plans comply with the law.
The impact of the decision striking down part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act is clear in the 13 states and the District of Columbia where gay marriage is currently legal or soon will be: Same-sex married couples must be treated the same as other spouses under federal laws governing tax, health care, pensions and other federal benefits.
But employee benefit experts say the effect of the ruling remains murky in the other 37 states. The court left intact another provision of the federal anti-gay marriage law that allows one state not to recognize a same-sex marriage performed elsewhere.
"What's the federal government going to do when you have a valid marriage in New York and the couple moves to Texas? We don't know the answer to that," said Scott Macey, president of the ERISA Industry Committee that represents large employers.
The confusion is creating uncertainty for many companies that operate nationwide and want to administer benefit plans in a uniform manner.
"My members are all across the country," Macey said. "Most, if not all of them, would prefer to have a consistent rule across the country. They don't want to worry about changing things from state to state."
For workers living in states that have legalized same-sex marriage, the Supreme Court's decision means gay spouses are entitled to a host of benefits they were denied previously. The decision extends pension and Social Security survivor benefits to same-sex spouses, grants equal access to the Family and Medical Leave Act and gives employees married to same-sex spouses the guarantee of uninterrupted health care coverage under the federal COBRA health benefits program.
Same-sex couples can also get the same tax break on health coverage that other couples have been receiving. Before the court's ruling, same-sex spouses covered by employer health plans had to pay taxes on the benefits they received, which on average added up to an extra $1,000 year. And employees now will be able to seek reimbursement from flexible health spending accounts for the medical expenses of gay spouses.
"This affects a thousand laws and regulations that touch employee benefits," said Bruce Elliott, manager of compensation and benefits at the Society for Human Resource Management, an industry association.
But many questions were left unanswered by the court. What happens if an employee lives in Maryland, which allows same-sex marriages, but works in neighboring Virginia, which doesn't? What happens to an employee who has a valid gay marriage in Iowa, but then moves to Alabama, which doesn't recognize same-sex marriages?
"It answers one question and raised many more," said Susan Hoffman, a Philadelphia attorney who focuses on employee benefits. "There may be pressures on the employer, but there is no legal mandate."
About 62 percent of Fortune 500 companies already offer same-sex domestic partner health benefits, according to the gay advocacy group Human Rights Campaign. More of those companies, and perhaps smaller firms, could decide to extend those benefits in light of the court's decision.
Several companies that already offer domestic partner benefits told The Associated Press that they did not plan any immediate changes. That includes Ford Motor Co., which has offered same-sex benefits to hourly and salaried employees since 2000, spokesman Jay Cooney said.
At glass manufacturer Corning Inc. in New York, spokesman Daniel Collins said the company has been in the process of revising its policies as different states legalize gay marriage. For now, though, it plans to keep its domestic partner benefits until it has more guidance.
"It's so new and actions are occurring so quickly," Collins said.
Verizon spokesman Ray McConville said the company was still evaluating the decision.
Hoffman said the legal ambiguities will have to be resolved in future court decisions as gay couples seek to protect their benefits in states that don't recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.
Macey said the federal government could go a long way in clarifying things when it issues regulations establishing how the court ruling should be implemented. The court seemed to leave it up to the Internal Revenue Service and other various federal agencies to decide how to resolve conflicts between states over gay marriage.
President Barack Obama said he's directed the attorney general and members of his Cabinet "to review all relevant federal statutes to ensure this decision, including its implications for federal benefits and obligations, is implemented swiftly and smoothly."
It's possible the Obama administration could say that federal benefits should be granted equally to all spouses in same-sex marriages, even if they live in a state that won't recognize the union, Macey said. But such a ruling would not prevent the continued denial of state benefits to gay couples in states where same-sex marriages are not legal.
Macey said most companies will probably wait to see how the federal government is going to interpret the decision.
