COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May 22, 2013) – U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team Head Coach Karch Kiraly has announced the roster of athletes who will participate in a free Red-Blue intrasquad scrimmage on May 24 at the Windward School in Los Angeles.
Kiraly will have nine middle blockers, six outside hitters, five opposites, five setters and six liberos to use during the scrimmage that begins at 7 p.m. PT. The Red-Blue roster includes five 2012 Olympic Games silver medalists in outside hitter Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.), middle blocker Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.), setter Courtney Thompson (Kent, Wash.) and liberos Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) and Tama Miyashiro (Kaneohe, Hawaii). The roster composition includes a blend of U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team members with a handful of athletes taking part in an extended training tryout with the goal of making the team.
In addition to Hodge, the outside hitters are Kristin Hildebrand (Orem, Utah), Kim Hill (Portland, Ore.), Regan Hood (Carrollton, Texas), Alix Klineman (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) and Cassidy Lichtman (Poway, Calif.) The middle blockers joining Scott-Arruda are Rachael Adams (Cincinnati, Ohio), Alesha Deesing (Aumsville, Ore.), Lauren Gibbemeyer (St. Paul, Minn.), Cursty Jackson (Los Angeles, Calif.), Jessy Jones (Naperville, Ill.), Lauren Paolini (Ann Arbor, Mich.), Arielle Wilson (Broadview, Ill.) and Erica Wilson (Oceanside, Calif.).

Kiraly plans to incorporate additional Red-Blue intra-squad scrimmages during the summer as a means to provide match-like competition for all athletes training and to build community relations with the Southern California area.

City Carrier Assistant 1 & 2 (CCA) Jobs in utah
What is this job?
City Carrier Assistants deliver and collect mail in urban areas. There are two entry level City Carrier jobs - City Carrier Assistant 1 and City Carrier Assistant 2 - but their functions are identical. Specific job descriptions are provided on individual job postings.
Assistant jobs are the starting points for career positions. Most job postings on the USPS website are for Assistant jobs, and most career positions are filled by promoting Assistant employees. You must start as a City Carrier Assistant in order to work your way into a career City Carrier position. Assistants are typically hired for 360 day terms and can be reappointed for additional 360 day terms. See our Assistant Jobs page for details.
Wages can vary by location, but the average starting wage for a City Carrier Assistant is about $16.00 per hour. Specific information on wages is provided on individual job postings. Once you convert to a career position, the average salary for a career City Carrier is about $60,000 per year.
Some Assistant jobs may come with partial benefits either immediately or after the first 360 day term. Specific information on benefits is provided on individual job postings. Once you convert to a career position, you will have the full range of benefits for which the Postal Service is famous. See our Career Benefits page for details.
How do I get it?
Following is a brief recap of the hiring and testing process. See our How to apply page for full details.
1. First you must find an open job posting on the USPS website. This sounds easy enough, but unfortunately the Postal Service online job search function is a nightmare that does not work as intended due to technical issues and chronic posting errors. See our Why the Postal Job Search Function Does Not Work article for details.
2. Once you find a job posting, you apply for that job online. Again this sounds easy enough, but the online application process is a seemingly endless series of conflicting instructions, confusing forms, electronic steps, cover letters, and attachments. Our How to Really Get Postal Jobs is a step-by-step guide for successfully navigating the challenging job search, the frustrating application process, and the employment interview. Included is their official checklist used when interviewing applicants for City Carrier Assistant jobs. You will have the inside scoop needed to ace your employment interview!
3. You are scheduled to take an employment exam as you apply. The vast majority of all Postal jobs, including City Carrier Assistant jobs, are filled from exam 473/473E. See our Exam 473/473E page for details on exam content. According to the Postal Service, this computerized test carries an 80-90% failure rate, and only the top three applicants are invited for interviews. So you must have one of the top three scores for any chance at all. Effective test preparation is essential, and interactive online practice tests - formatted exactly like the real thing - are an absolute necessity for mastering the incredible speed and foreign skills demanded. Our bestselling Complete Postal Exam 473/473E Interactive eGuide provides the effective test preparation so critically needed. Included are a comprehensive tutorial and ultrarealistic electronic practice exams. Such a small investment to assure such a valuable career opportunity!

Sporno-rific gymnastics phenoms Danell Leyva, John Orozo (right) and Team USA have taken the early lead in gymnastics qualifications at the London Olympics. The USA men's team hopes to win their first gymnastics team gold medal since 1984.
Team Great Britain had the early lead after pommel horse hotness Louis Smith's near flawless routine. China has now slipped to fourth place after USA and Japan's routines, reports Reuters.
Going into the evening's final session, with Russia among the teams still to come, the U.S. led Britain by 2.922 points with Japan third. Consistent performances by Danell Leyva and John Orozco across the six apparatus gave the Americans, cheered on by enthusiastic, flag-waving fans at the North Greenwich Arena, the edge.
Scores are reset to zero in Monday's team final, for which the best eight teams qualify.
Leyva and Orozco are now ranked first and second, respectively. A few more sporno-tastic photos—if pint size and muscular is your "thing"—are AFTER THE JUMP ...

The month of May was a pretty special time for us Hildebrands - we celebrated both mine and Caleb's birthdays, got to visit Korea, and I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts! To make our party day special & fun, I made a DIY photobooth at our home to goof off with our friends :)
All you need to make this photobooth backdrop is a roll of kraft paper, some chalk, and a roll of tape. Altogether this project cost me around $3 and it only took me around 15 minutes to put it together!
Here's what you do: tape your sheets of kraft paper to your designated photobooth wall, then start writing whatever it is that you want! I chose to simply repeat the lyrics of "Happy Birthday" over and over again to fill my wall and simply tried using different fonts.
To liven it up, I strung up a line of balloons, made a really easy tissue paper fringe garland, and tacked up a lace tablecloth as well. And voila, you've got yourself a super lovely, personal photobooth backdrop for your party!

Thirty years later—with both political parties holding power for extended periods of time—the size and scope of the United States government has reached a new apex. In short, the end of "the era of big government" has not come to pass. more → Scholars' Reactions: Pro: Paul C. Milazzo, Ohio University. Con: Brian Balogh, University of Virginia.

Ms. Amanpour joined ABC on August 1, 2010 from CNN, where she was most recently the network's Chief International Correspondent and anchor of "Amanpour," a daily half-hour interview program. Upon becoming an international correspondent for CNN in 1990, her first major assignment was covering the Gulf War. She has since reported on and from the world's major hotspots, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Somalia, Israel, the Palestinian territories, Rwanda, the Balkans, and the U.S. during Hurricane Katrina. After 9/11 she was the first international correspondent to secure interviews with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, French President Jacques Chirac and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. She has interviewed other world leaders from Europe, Africa and the Middle East, including Iranian Presidents Mohammad Khatami and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, as well as the presidents of Afghanistan, Sudan, Syria, and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, among others. Ms. Amanpour has received every major broadcast award, including an inaugural Television Academy Award, nine News and Documentary Emmys, four George Foster Peabody Awards, two George Polk Awards, three duPont-Columbia Awards, the Courage in Journalism Award, an Edward R.

He is the Chairman of the House Budget Committee, where he works to bring fiscal discipline and accountability to the federal government. He is a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, which has jurisdiction over tax policy, Social Security, health care and trade laws. Paul has put forward a specific plan to tackle our looming fiscal crisis, driven by the explosion of entitlement spending. The Path to Prosperity helps spur job creation today, stops spending money the government doesn't have, and lifts the crushing burden of debt. This plan puts the budget on the path to balance and the economy on the path to prosperity.

2010 Holiday Gift Guide: SleepTracker Pro Elite
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Wearables, Features, Women, Men, Techies, Under $250, Under $500,
Worn like an everyday watch, SleepTracker Pro Elite is ideal for anyone who wants to wake up alert and ready to start the day, such as frequent travelers across time zones, business people looking for an extra edge, students with fluctuating schedules, or busy moms who need to wake up easily (see our original SleepTracker review.) That sounds like just about everyone, so we figured it was a good candidate for our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. SleepTracker may find multiple almost-awake moments within the sleep cycle. Almost-awake moments may also vary in frequency throughout the night. By monitoring your sleep cycles for optimal waking moments during the preset ALARM WINDOW, SleepTracker finds those almost awake-moments and gently wakes you when you're most alert. The result? You wake up refreshed instead of groggy.

Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Handhelds, Microsoft, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Techies, Teens, Under $250, Under $500,
The Zune HD may have made its debut last year, but it's still a damn good PMP that doesn't get all the love that it deserves--seriously, just check out our Zune HD review. With the recent launch of Windows Phone 7, and Zune on Xbox 360, the brand has gotten a lot of play recently, and we think the Zune HD is more than worthy of a spot on our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. Microsoft came through with a superb device with a fantastic service behind it to match. In fact, we've said it many time that, in our opinion, for someone that truly loves music, Zune is the best deal around. Coupled with the $15 per month Zune Pass (which isn't a requirement,) you get a top-notch portable media player with an OLED screen, HD Radio, and web browser with the advantage of being able to listen to pretty much any song you can think of at a moments notice. There's also an app marketplace that lets you download games, Twitter and Facebook integration, and more.
The Zune HD retails for $349 for the 64GB, $269 for the 32GB, and $199 for the 16GB model - however, Amazon's got a great sale on the Zune HD that'll put the 32GB model into your hands for $203 ($63 off,) the 16GB model will run you $149 ($50 off,) and the 64GB model for $314 ($30 off.)
Oh, and did we mention something about giving it away? Heck yeah! We will be running the 32GB Zune HD giveaway for a week. The winner will receive a 32GB Zune HD and a 1-month Zune Pass!
Here's how to enter:
- Follow the Gear Live Twitter account
- On Twitter, post this tweet about our contest: "Hey @gearlive hook me up with that @Zune HD! http://gear.lv/zunehd-holiday" (Click here to tweet this now)
That's it! Remember, you've gotta have a Twitter account (they're free), and you've gotta be following the Gear Live Twitter account so that we can send you a DM if you're the winner. This one is only open to residents of the US. We will be announcing a winner on December 10, so you've got a week to qualify.

2010 Holiday Gift Guide: Zomm wireless smartphone leash
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Smartphones, Features, Wireless / WiFi, Family, Women, Men, Techies, Teens, Under $100, Under $250, Under $500,
We've spent some time with the Zomm "wireless leash" and have come away impressed by the simplicity of the device, as it's one of those things that make you wonder why a product like it hasn't been available until now. With that, we thought it would be a good inclusion in our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. The Zomm can be attached to your keychain, and connects to your smartphone over Bluetooth. Once paired, it becomes your wireless alarm system for your phone. For example, if you walk away from your phone, Zomm will sound a notification alarm and start vibrating, letting you know that you've left your device more than 30 feet away. This way, you don't leave a restaurant without your phone, or spend forever looking for it because you left it in the car (or, that you are in your car driving and left your phone at home!) Cool enough, but it does more.
Zomm also has an integrated speaker and microphone, so it also acts as a hands-free calling device. If your phone rings, Zomm will ring as well, and you just press the Z button to take the call without having to fish around for your phone while driving. Zomm also has a built-in panic alarm. Hold down the Z button and the alarm will go off. Continue holding it, and the Zomm will use the Bluetooth connection to your phone to dial 911, and it will let you speak with the authorities right from the Zomm device. This is seriously a cool piece of technology that is a must-have for those people who constantly leave their smartphones behind in cabs and restaurants, or just anyone who wants an extra layer of security with them at all times. You can get a Zomm from Newegg for $79.99.

2010 Holiday Gift Guide: Parrot AR.Drone Quadricopter
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Toys, Techies, Teens, Under $500,
The Parrot AR.Drone is one of the coolest holiday gifts this season, and as such, it's a natural fit for our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. It's basically like a flying real-life video game that you can play indoors or out. With its on-board Wi-Fi system, you can even control the copter from an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. On-board cameras let you pilot the AR.Drone through complex flight maneuvers and destroy enemy targets. The iOS piloting app is a free download from the iTunes App Store. The copter also has a built in accelerometer, gyros, ultrasonic sensors, two video cameras, and more. It's constructed of carbon fiber and high-resistance plastic, and it's available in three colors. You can get it now for $299 from Amazon.

2010 Holiday Gift Guide: NeatDesk desktop scanner
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Peripherals, Family, Techies, Under $500,
When we wrote up our NeatDesk review a couple months ago, we didn't expect to be an impressed as we were - we had to include it in our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. Seriously, if you know someone who wants to go all digital and paperless, or someone that just wants to be better organized with their documents, receipts, and business cards, you should consider the NeatDesk. Available both for Mac and PC, the NeatDesk scanner combines with the NeatWorks software (included) to give you one of the most powerful document scanning and organization tools we've ever seen. They normally retail for $500, but Amazon's get the PC version for $358 and the Mac version for $383.
2010 Holiday Gift Guide: Jawbone Jambox
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Music, Wireless / WiFi, Techies, Under $250, Under $500,
Pretty much any modern smartphone or tablet device has Bluetooth built into it nowadays, and that means you can pair them to a speaker device to send audio wirelessly through a more powerful, louder unit. The thing is, those have been few and far between, and not very good. Aliph changed that with their newly-released Jawbone Jambox Bluetooth speaker. You can easily pair it with your phone, iPod touch, iPad, or any other device that support Bluetooth audio. It's a small speaker that you can hold in your hand, but manufactured in such a way that it provides fantastic sound, so you can stream audio to it from wherever you are in the room, no wires needed. You can choose from four colors, and the battery is rechargeable. You can get it from Best Buy or Apple for $199.
Oh, and of course, if you or someone you know needs a Bluetooth heads, the Aliph Jawbone is one of the best. These guys know how to make Bluetooth devices.
2010 Holiday Gift Guide: Wii Remote Plus
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Handhelds, Home Entertainment, Video Games, Family, Kids, Techies, Under $50,
When Nintendo announced Wii Sports Resort at E3 a couple years back, it was in conjunction with the Wii Motion Plus add-on, a Wii Remote attachment that sent much more precise data about how you were moving the remote to the Wii console. It took them a while, but now you can finally ditch that dongle and go with a Wii Remote Plus controller instead. It's the same Wii Remote that you know and (maybe) love, but with the Motion Plus technology built-in, and that's worthy enough of being included in our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. You can get them from Amazon for $38.99, a 3% savings.

2010 Holiday Gift Guide: 11-inch MacBook Air
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Features, PC / Laptop, Women, Men, Techies,
Apple's smallest notebook is the MacBook Air, and all signs are pointing to this being the best-selling Mac this holiday season, so we had to include it in our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. The 11-inch MacBook Air packs in speedy flash memory that is soldered directly onto the motherboard, resulting is lightning-fast performance. It also means no moving parts, so you get five hours of battery life from the tiny little wonder, and it even sports a full-sized keyboard, which we feel is a must (and is one of our main complaints with other netbooks.) The price starts at $999 from Apple, but hey, if you go with Amazon then its $994 with free shipping, and MacMall has them starting at $969--not bad for the most portable Mac out there.

Together Rx Expands Eligibility Criteria, Responds to Challenging Economic Times
Alexandria, Va. -- Together Rx Access®, a prescription savings program sponsored by many of the nation's leading pharmaceutical companies, announced today that it has expanded the Program's eligibility income levels to help even more uninsured individuals and families save on the medicines they need to stay healthy and to manage chronic conditions. Under the new income levels, nearly 90 percent of uninsured Americans will now be eligible for the Together Rx Access Program.
"Millions of individuals around the country have been impacted by job reductions, salary cuts, or the loss of health benefits, specifically prescription coverage, adding to the already soaring uninsured population in the United States," said Roba Whiteley, executive director of Together Rx Access. "By expanding the Program's income levels, the Together Rx Access member companies are responding to the needs of hardworking Americans during these challenging times."
The enhanced income levels for which individuals are eligible for the Together Rx Access Program is now:
- $45,000 for a single person (formerly $30,000)
- $60,000 for a family of two (formerly $40,000)
- $75,000 for a family of three (formerly $50,000)
- $90,000 for a family of four (formerly $60,000)
- $105,000 for a family of five (formerly $70,000)
Over the past 12 months, the unemployment rate in the United States has risen by 3.3 percent,* which by some estimates, may result in more than three million additional Americans without health insurance.1 Results from a recent Kaiser Family Foundation survey, conducted in February 2009, showed that 53 percent of American households have cut back on healthcare due to cost concerns in the past 12 months. One in five (21 percent) surveyed say they have not filled a prescription, and one in six (15 percent) say they have cut pills in half or skipped doses to make their prescriptions last longer.2
"Prescription medicines offer people with chronic diseases and disabilities a chance to live a more normal life. With today's uncertain economy, that possibility is quickly snatched away as more and more people face the loss of a job or health benefits," said Myrl Weinberg, President, National Health Council, which provides a united voice for the more than 125 million Americans with chronic diseases and disabilities and their family caregivers. "The decision by Together Rx Access to expand the eligibility criteria to help those without health insurance and in need of medicines keeps that chance to live longer and feel better a concrete possibility."
In addition to meeting the expanded income levels, individuals must be legal residents of the United States or Puerto Rico, and have no public or private prescription coverage, or qualify for Medicare, to be eligible for the Together Rx Access Card. The Card is free to get and free to use.
Together Rx Access offers potential cardholders a simple enrollment process. Individuals have the option of enrolling online at TogetherRxAccess.com, calling a toll-free number 1-800-966-0407, or completing a short application and returning it by mail. All enrollment materials, including the Together Rx Access website, are available in English and Spanish.
"Together Rx Access is the only multi-manufacturer program offering its cardholders immediate access to savings on hundreds of brand-name and generic medicines used to treat many common conditions, such as asthma and diabetes," added Whiteley. "Proof of the success of this unique model is the fact that the Program has more than 1.8 million cardholders, and thousands enroll each week. Those who have used their Together Rx Access Card have saved over $80 million on their prescription medicines."

3 days ago All right in the end Website had a good selection on it, easy to use, bought what I wanted. What arrived unfortunately was defective, one handle was scratched and on the other the chrome was incomplete, very poor quality control on behalf of the manufacturer. Handles4Doors did respond swiftly and arranged a replacement to be sent out very promptly although it came directly from the manufacturer who had been given my billing address instead of my delivery address, fortunately this wasn't a problem for me but it meant that when they tried to collect the defective handles they tried to collect them from the wrong address! Despite this would use them again, product / price good eventually and customer services friendly and helpful.

Melbourne Man's Idea To Help Homeless Goes Viral
We are all probably aware of the competition McDonald's have running at the moment - their famous Monopoly game. Basically, you have a really high chance of winning a free burger or drink when you purchase your favourite menu item.
Melbourne man Matt Lawson recently took to Facebook to share his idea to help some of the city's homeless. And it's such a simple idea too. All he did was give his free burger token to someone who could really use it.
Take a look at Matt's post below.
It's been shared over SIXTEEN THOUSAND times, and many people have commented how great an idea it is, and how they too have helped someone in need.
There's been so many suggestions that people take this idea to their local McDonald's store, and ask them to have a collection jar where people can donate their tokens so that someone less fortunate can benefit.
We really hope that McDonald's is taking notice of this very special Facebook post - how easy would it be for them to help out?!

Sexuality has been a rather dysfunctional area of the human experience, in the past and today also. Even though, in the western world, we may appear as 'liberated', 'uninhibited', 'progressed' and 'advanced' in sexual matters, with free pornography and prostitution, Internet sex, promiscuous sex with strangers, countless sex advice on popular magazines, huge expenses on improving our sex-appeal and appearance, sexuality is not much more balanced today than at other times. Neither is its connection to spirituality widely recognized. Sexual energies, when cleared of any excessively 'positive' (obsession) or 'negative' (judgment) attributes, can be used for the return and re-anchoring of higher frequencies in our lives and the world around us.
Hardly do we realize the importance of sexual health to spiritual health. We mostly regard sexuality as an isolated part, cut-off from the rest of our lives. Yet, sexuality is an inseparable part of one's expression of life force. A couple with a healthy sex life, based on love, respect, inspiration and creativity, exudes such delightful energy, which helps, not only themselves, but also the world and the people around them in invisible ways. The same applies to a person who may be single, yet at peace, comfort and acceptance of his/her sexuality, while expressing his/her creative force in different ways. Despite the media's brainwashing, sexual health (in the spiritual sense) is NOT determined by the frequency of our sexual contacts. Sexual health means acceptance, means the release of any guilt or shame about sexuality, the recognition of sexuality as a channel for powers of creativity, joy, spontaneity, honor and vitality. These qualities can be expressed in many different ways, not just through sex. Problems arise when these qualities get blocked due to trauma, guilt, shame, insecurity, low self-esteem, idolizing sex, sex addiction etc.
Human sexuality can be seen as a means to channel Universal energy into matter, so that physical matter is ultimately infused with life energy and soul energy. The most obvious creation of this infusion is, of course, a baby! But it is not the only one. Through appropriate channeling of sexual energy, one can create a work of art, a book, a project, or just a joyous day, during which we laugh and love and sing and rejoice. Sexual energy, when properly channeled (according to ancient methods of yoga, for example) can help towards spiritual enlightenment. Seeing sexuality as a package of physical techniques on biological reflexes, in order to create some momentary euphoria, is a very limited view. It is like seeing sex, as a little 'fix' to produce a 'high' and this view hides the spiritual truth of sexuality.
As other areas of the human experience, sexuality can be a wonderful tool, but it can be used in different ways. It can be used for ill and darkness, or it can be used for love and truth. Ways, not contributing to the light, are when sex is used for hurting, humiliating, using, or exploiting another, or for escaping boredom and the sense of vacuum and emptiness we may feel. Yet, the vacuum inside cannot be filled by sex. Many people today try to fill what is, essentially, a spiritual vacuum with sex and end up feeling more empty than ever (especially if they have used other people for their own perceived 'need'). Both partners tend to feel cut off from the source of life force, depleted rather than energized, end up seeing each other and themselves as worthless and unattractive. We are bombarded by the media with messages of sexual obsession and sexual using ("how to get him/her to meet your needs" etc), but no one tells us that what we do to another, we do, first and foremost, to ourselves. If, through sex, we humiliate or use another, this is how we will feel about ourselves: used and humiliated. If, on the other hand, sex is the way of expression of love and appreciation of another, then this feeling will multiply for ourselves also. Sex can be the tool to give love or pain. The choice is ours and this choice will affect (just like every choice we make) every aspect of our life, as well as life around us.
Sexual healing is not about spicy advice on achieving greater physical pleasure. Sexual healing is about who we feel we are, in the deepest recesses of our soul. Sexual healing is about clearing the guilt that comes from abuse we received from others or we inflicted upon others, in this or in past lives. It is about de-idolizing sex and shedding all fears around it, fear of rejection, of not being liked, of being without, of being inadequate. It is about seeing its true purpose: union, joy, co-creation. Many spiritually evolved individuals choose the celibate life of the monk or nun, not because sex is 'bad', 'dirty' or anti-spiritual, but because they use their sexual energy for spiritual ascension. This may not be for everyone, if they feel that this is not their path. Spiritual progress does not exclude sexual activity, but the latter has to rely on love and respect to assist the former.
Sexual healing is very important today for the progress of humanity, since this area gathers some of the most repressed and dark negative thoughts and acts. Think about women in abusive relationships or women stoned for 'hypothetical' (or even real) infidelity. Think of the pain in many relationships (which is always linked to sexual pain, directly or indirectly), which often leads to substance abuse, depression, even suicide. Think of those, sometimes advertised, sexual practices, which humiliate human beings, with the use of physical violence. Many forms of negativity charge sexuality today, especially when it is disconnected from the spiritual self and is used to channel lower energies.
Some examples of distorted use of sexuality are the following:
1) The degrading of women, has been going on for so long, in such a wide scale, that the accumulated memory leads many women (along with men) to depreciate themselves. Men and women often fail to see the connection of female sexuality to the qualities of beauty, tenderness, sweetness and the Divine Feminine, but only see it as a vehicle for physical pleasure. Many women, who dimly remember this connection with the Divine Feminine, try to reclaim it, but sometimes do not know how. They expect approval from a man, in order to feel this connection again and to feel good about themselves. They idolize outer appearance, as the measure of the erotic inspiration they emit. But, attractiveness stems from the flame of vivacity, of our spiritual essence, which is unique, exists in all of us and which, when embraced, can shine outwards to all. This is the real attractiveness and beauty. A woman feels good in herself for who she is and this ease makes others feel attracted, while feeling good also. Everyone wins. Even without sex, the recognition of one's own light and of the light of another, can be the most sublime, etheric erotic interchange, which can even diminish the biological need for sex. Sex can come about, but it only unfolds as another step in the manifestation of a positive energetic connection, it does not create, or replace the connection.
Many women can be blocked sexually by the emotional wounds of the past. Betrayals, rejection, lack of affection, abuse from the past, may make them doubt themselves and obstruct the flow of life force, in all areas of their lives. In this case, it is helpful to visualise clearing the heart charka with the white light of the Goddess. Even if a woman did not have any negative emotional experiences, it is likely that she feels the universal wound of rejection and abuse of women, coming from the collective unconscious of millions of women who have been abused and still are, in the world today. Healing the heart charka in this way, she helps not only herself, but heals the global thought-form ("women are abused by men"), she sends the healing energetic matrix to be used elsewhere by other consciousnesses too. Since we are all connected, healing does not only heal us, but goes beyond us.
Women can also ask Goddess Aphrodite to help them heal and accept their sexuality, to help life force flow again as a creative and vital power in their lives. The Aphrodite energy is very helpful in healing female sexuality and the Divine Feminine for humanity. A woman can thus feel the strength, the joy and vivacity which the Aphrodite energy brings… Even though Aphrodite's name has been long stained and mis-used for all sorts of prostitution or pornography related material, Her purity cannot be changed, neither could She ever die…
There is another issue which links female sexuality to the channeling and the energy of the Goddess on Earth. The Goddess was worshipped very actively in many ancient temples in many parts of the world, mainly through female priestesses, who were virgins or practiced chastity. This was very powerful, since there were a big number of priestesses indeed! In those times, celibacy did not have the meaning that it has had in many religions since, i.e. it was not about being 'clean', while condemning sex as 'dirty'. It was about reserving the female sexual energy for channeling the Goddess, and it was a very powerful anchoring method for the Goddess's energy. Until a time came when, even in spirituality, masculinity dominated (sometimes through violence by male priests). These male priests or other males may have been of the dark or not, but (in ancient Greece at least, but I presume in other parts of the world too), they destroyed the temples of the Goddess and, on some occasions, converted the temples for male deities. They also forbade the priestesses from practicing the worship, forced them to marry, sometimes raped them or trained them and corrupted them with sex, so that the temples of the Goddesses became more or less prostitution houses. Prostitution was NOT one of the methods of the Goddess! But it was a powerful way for male domination to divert female sexual energy from anchoring the Goddess on Earth. It was not so much that they corrupted or raped the priestesses for their own personal gratification (even though this was a side gain!), but their main aim was to close down the channel for the Goddess through the priestesses.
How does this relate to us today? The Goddess is coming back… And it happens that many women around the world, especially sensitive, educated, strong women, find themselves, for long periods of time, without a partner. Is this a coincidence? I do not think so. Rather than complaining, or longing for partner, or even worse, consume themselves with inappropriate relationships, it is important for these women to recognize that any period of celibacy has its purpose. To question themselves, as to whether they feel drawn to working with the Goddess, since the Goddess energy may be trying to get through to them. It does not have to be forever, nor do women have to become nuns. The Goddess may need to work with them in chastity for only a certain period of time. When this time is over, the right partner will appear without effort. Neither does it mean that married or sexually active women cannot be the Goddess's channels (though ANY relationship or sex that is not mutually loving, kind and respectful would block the Goddess energy). In effect, the large number of women without a partner today reflects a spiritual calling from the Goddess, one to be grateful for and used well, rather than wasted in obsessing about finding a partner (in ways that some modern movies or books almost make fun of…) This is something new in our spiritual era and something to be honored. So, I feel it is quite important that single women are aware of this perspective, since for many of them, their cooperation is needed by the Goddess AND working with Her will make their lives much more fulfilling and sweet than they can ever imagine. It happened on so many occasions in ancient Greece and ancient Egypt, during the attack on the Goddess, that the priestesses were made to believe that they were good only for sex or that they could not make it without a man…The reversal, the healing of this distortion is taking place now…
On the other hand, many men can also feel blocked (even apathetic) towards sex, or they can be obsessed and addicted to sex. For men, the deity Pan can help in clearing the channel of sexual flow, in reconnecting with the current of life force through sexuality, regardless of the presence of a partner. Pan is the guardian of the life force energy source (which in the inner planes looks like a little like a waterfall), for the human and animal kingdom and I believe for Nature also. Since it is the same life force, the energetic interaction which occurs when we are in nature, breathing it and appreciating it, helps us open up the sexual channel and helps with sexual healing too. It is of no coincidence that in Greek mythology, humans were said to join erotically with nymphs, ethereal and elemental energies. The channels of life flow in humans were so clear and open, their frequency so high, that they could unite with the entities of Nature, showing that Man and Nature are one. It was not of course any form of the biological sex that we know of today, but it was an energetic union and interaction of the highest and purest level and beauty, which created more Light on Earth. Unfortunately, as the general energies spiraled down with the passage of time, this capacity was lost, and the once pure ceremonies of Nature in ancient Greece (and elsewhere) got replaced by drunken orgies.
Yet, as humanity and Nature evolve towards ascension, the two worlds with come close together once again. It is no coincidence that Pan, Who symbolizes the purest and highest triangle joining Nature, Man and the Divine, was brutally slandered, for many centuries, making Him appear as a satyr, a nymphomaniac, ugly, with horns etc. At times, His image was even taken to represent evil. None of this is true. Pan is one of the highest Masters of Light, the king of the Nature and of the Elemental Kingdom and He protects Nature and Man.He does NOT have horns, He has a very beautiful innocent loving face and lots of thick curly long hair. When He was in body on Earth, He could sometimes appear with goat's legs (although He could also appear as fully human), but this was deliberately planned by Spirit, as a dramatic lesson of utmost importance to humanity about the equality of Man and Nature. A lesson, we are still struggling with today…
2) Sexual abuse, particularly of children, is one of the darkest distortions of human sexuality. What could lead someone to such behavior? There is never just one single reason, but it has been found that the many offenders in child sexual abuse have themselves been abused as children. What is very common in cases of child sexual abuse is memory repression, so that the adult bears no conscious awareness of what happened to him, even though he may have irksome feelings that something inside is deeply wrong. Unless they heal their original trauma, so that they reclaim their own wounded inner child, there is some likelihood for a few of them (though certainly not the majority of adult survivors) to repeat the trauma they endured and behave in a similar way to other innocent and vulnerable ones. In some cases, there may even be the element of revenge, power and control, humiliation, malevolent intent to destroy the innocence of the child victim, especially when the offender is also influenced by lower energies and entities. The more the offender passes his own shame and worthlessness onto the victim, the more ashamed and worthless he feels himself. Both lose, in an ever-deepening vicious circle of abuse and humiliation (which is always the sole responsibility of the offender). After each re-enactment, the offender feels more and more depraved, helpless, and worthless, so that he feels his only choice really is to do one more of the same.
If an offender wishes to heal (some do), it is very important first to be cleared of any negative energies or entities that may have been attached to him, either by those who abused him as a child (if this is the case), or during his own acts of offending. I believe that addictions, such as offending children sexually, practicing violent sex, or using heroin (among others), attract many negative entities to those involved, this is why it is so hard for many individuals to break away from them. This does not mean that the offender bears no responsibility, or in fact karma, for it is always he, who chooses what to do. But it is an important factor to consider and I believe that many therapy programs today for offenders and addicts, would be much more successful, if they included negative energy clearing. It is important for the offender to ask clearing and protection from the Beings of Light, like Archangel Michael, in order to keep away any dark energies, who may be trying to manipulate him. The offender can ask to be helped to act, think and feel only in pure and kind intent. He/She can ask from Pan to withdraw his/her energy from any destructive channels of expression and re-channel them to healthy ways of light and creativity. It is important to ask for help from the Highest Beings of Light, since the darkness involved in these cases can be quite persistent. I believe that 12 step programs for addicts are excellent in this regard (and child sexual offending is always an addiction), since their basis is fundamentally spiritual: the addict/offender needs to admit the destructive nature of his behaviour, to take responsibility for his actions and thoughts, to realize that, with help, he can change, to admit that he needs help in therapy and to take all necessary practical steps to commit to his therapy. All of this, of course, requires that he is wishful and ready to change. Many are not. But there are some, who can no longer bear the pain of the depravity their acts bring and wish to change.
What we, lightworkers can do, if we feel this is the right thing, is to pray, wherever it is permitted by God and does not interfere with karma and with God's Plan, for child sexual abuse to come to an end and for child offenders and victims to heal, if and when they are ready. If we ask without judgement and with genuine caring for all involved, we are helping, not just the offender, but the many possible child victims that each offender could harm during the course of his life, if left untreated. Of course, we can pray for the protection and caring of all children involved.
As for the victimized child, he/she does not need to remain a helpless victim forever. He/she can heal and clear away the stain of shame that has been put on their soul by the offender. The sexual offence on children almost always aims to destroy the innocence in the child. But innocence cannot be destroyed. Children may think that they lost their innocence, but in reality, it has only been 'frozen' at a certain corner of their heart, only waiting to be warmed and reclaimed again. The survivor, when ready to heal, can get rid off the feeling of shame and wrongness, which was not theirs in the first place, can reclaim their power and self-love and feel safe with their power. Praying to the Mother Mary (or any feminine deity of white clearing pure light) to clear with the white light of innocence all remnants of memories of shame and pain can be very helpful, as well as praying to Pan and Aphrodite for sexual healing.
3) AIDS. It is of no coincidence that, at a time when sex is so often burdened with shame and darkness, to appear a disease, which is transmitted through sex, but which also is related with acute stigma, shame and in some environments, even repulsion. There are many negative psychological interactions around AIDS. There are places in the world, where virgins are raped, because the rapist believes that he will get rid of the 'dirty' virus by passing it on to a 'pure' other (the same dynamic with child sexual abuse: the offender abuses the child in a failed attempt to find a momentary relief from the burden of the 'dirty' shame, by passing it on to the innocent victim). HIV carriers are stigmatized (perhaps not so much in the developed world, but in many other parts of the world), as if there is something wrong with them. The virus has become a symbol of all the negativity we have projected upon sex, and has, in turn, been used as a tool to spread the shame and the negativity further, by stigmatizing and condemning people. We can visualize a white light clearing humanity and all those who wish to receive this, of all the shame, guilt, stigma, judgment, revenge, abuse, isolation, that relate to AIDS and HIV. We can send the white light of love and compassion and acceptance to all those who have died so far (20 million in Sub-Saharan Africa alone, often died in secrecy and isolation), as well as those who are affected now. The more people refuse to judge and turn away from those infected, but see them in light, love and equality, the more the virus (which represents shame, rejection and 'dirtiness' about sex) will lose its power. The white light of innocence, embracing the Earth, will help loosen the grip of the disease upon humanity.

Made In The UK
March 22, 2013
by Martin Parr
Martin Parr is one of the most prolific image makers of our time. A notable photographer, Parr is also recognized internationally as a publisher, curator, supporter of young photographers and for an almost obsessive collecting habit.
Born in Surrey, UK in 1952 Martin Parr's initial love of photography was encouraged by his grandfather who was himself a keen amateur. He studied at Manchester Polytechnic in the late 1970s and came to public attention just a year after graduating with an exhibition, 'Home Sweet Home' at two prominent galleries in England.
Parr often explores elements of tourism, consumerism, class and stereotypes in his work. Social groups, particularly the middle-classes, are a recurrent theme for Parr; a demographic that he himself identifies with. His style is one of most instantly recognizable approaches of twenty-first century photography; richly saturated colours that seem exaggerated and an unflinching, almost aggressive compositional structure. The result is a visual signature which conveys its subject matter with great success and more than just a degree of humour.
Often described as a 'chronicler of our age', Parr was a leading light in the New European Colour Photography School; a movement of photographers in the 1980s who united colour photography with documentary practice. In 1985 Parr used this technique in his celebrated portrayal of the dilapidated seaside town of New Brighton, popular with the working classes. The exhibition, 'Last Resort' opened with great acclaim at the Serpentine Gallery, London in 1986 and toured the world. Since then, Parr has published over 66 books and 125 exhibitions.
Presented here at Katara Cultural Village are classic Martin Parr projects such as 'Small World', Parr's satirical look at global tourism, alongside newer bodies of work such as 'Luxury', an insight into the world's super rich. To celebrate the Qatar UK Year of Culture 2013, a wide selection of Parr's work in the UK is on display; a visual exploration of the idiosyncrasies and uniqueness of British culture.
Today Parr occupies a rare and inimitable space within photography. A member of the 'super-agency' Magnum Photos since 1994, Parr sits unfamiliarly between traditional photojournalism and contemporary art based practices. He transcends multiple genres of photography, blurring boundaries between advertising and the art world, fashion and social documentary.
Presented in collaboration with Katara Cultural Village.

Hiding the ad column in Gmail's new split pane mode (Firefox / Chrome)
I really like the new split pane layout of Gmail. Unfortunately the right most column takes too much space which could be better used for showing the mail content. Luckily this can be easily done in Firefox and Chrome with the AdBlock Plus extension installed.
- Install AdBlock Plus if you haven't done so yet.
- Open the AdBlock Plus options and add the following rule:

It works with the current version of Gmail, but might break if they change the CSS classes (which look pretty random)…

Further Evidence of Coordination of Police Crackdowns on Occupy Protests
Rich H. writes:
I know this is supposed to be a dead subject, but look what I found in ten minutes of research today.
The man acknowledged to be the facilitator of the mayor's conference calls is one Chuck Wexler. Chuck is the Executive Director of PERF, of which we were informed. What wasn't included is Mr. Wexler is also a member of the DHS Advisory Council. You'll find his name second to the bottom.
If it's not good enough that Mr. Wexler was speaking with the mayors, don't take my word for it, there's probably dozens of links. Here's one that may be considered valid. CBS.
In Mr. Wexler's interview with The Boston Phoenix he has the following to say. It's as interesting for what's said and what isn't.
"No purpose aside to simply exchange information." "This was just information sharing."
"There hasn't been an issue we haven't been involved in." – When speaking of other policing issues he's dealt with.
"We are pulled in to help when things happen, and we'll keep doing that when it's the right thing." – Apprently the OWS movement doesn't count as "when things happen."
Oh, and let's not forget about the arrests in Portland or what Wexler's boss had to say about this.
"(We) have to be careful not to allow this movement to get any legitimacy. I'm taking this seriously in that I'm old enough to remember what happened in the 1960's when the left-wing took to the streets and somehow the media glorified them and it ended up shaping policy. We can't allow that to happen."
Congressman Peter King, Head of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee.
Rich H's characterization is a little over the top, since the Department of Homeland Security's Advisory Council is an outside advisory group, and isn't directly part of DHS:
The Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC) provides advice and recommendations to the Secretary on matters related to homeland security. The Council comprises leaders from state and local government, first responder communities, the private sector, and academia.
So Wexler's role in coordinating police crackdowns does not provide direct proof of Rick Ellis' claim that "each of [the police] actions was coordinated with help from Homeland Security".
But since actions and decisions are often made through informal liaisons, by people wearing several hats, DHS could have played a role in coordinating the crackdowns even if no DHS official was directly involved.

Queensland's first known World War I memorial doesn't stand in a public park or at a street intersection, it's in a small Darling Downs' cemetery. And unlike the others, it is in memory of one man.
Residents from the farming district of Nobby wanted to honour 20-year-old stockman Private Victor Denton who enlisted with the 2nd Light Horse Regiment just weeks after Australia announced it was at war in 1914. He died of battle wounds in June 1915 on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey and was buried there. This memorial stands as a sign of the spontaneous, highly visible grief that gripped the community and the nation.
The memorial is located within the Denton family plot, alongside the grave of Victor's parents, in Nobby Cemetery.
Toowoomba monumental masons Bruce Brothers created the concrete and stone memorial, the broken column symbolising a life cut short. It was unveiled November 1915 during a recruitment march from Warwick to Brisbane, by a group labelled the 'Dungarees'. The march's participants drew large crowds in every town.
