We just posted a brand new video message from Joe on the home page
and are also including Joe's latest text message from the site here.
To view the video greeting from the home page:
Message from Joe from Feb 3rd:
I'm happy to announce that bassist Dave LaRue (Dixie Dregs, Steve
Morse Band, John Petrucci, Vinnie Moore and Planet X) will be joining
us on our upcoming "Super Colossal Tour". Check out his site at
http://www.davelarue.com/. Dave is a monster player and I look
forward to his sound and fury! After walking the boards with him
during our last G3 tour of Japan, all of us, including Matt, thought
Dave would be a fantastic addition to the band. Matt has decided
to devote his life to beat poetry and further study at the Lum Lum
sanctuary... really.
The US tour, starting April 1st with our old friend Eric Johnson
opening, is coming together courtesy of Wayne Forte at Entourage

If you want to give your time lapse videos a nice, smooth pan, try looking next to the pans. Using only an old school kitchen timer and a Go Pro camera, a Make reader whipped up this neat video.
The simplest hacks are the best kind, and this $7 solution is definitely satisfying by that measure. By the way, did you see what I did up there with those "pans"? [Make]

Richard Sherman appears to have changed his tune again.
First, the Seattle cornerback trashed San Fransciso's Michael Crabtree during a postgame interview at the NFC championship, moments after tipping the ball away from the 49ers receiver in the end zone and propelling the Seahawks into Super Bowl XLVIII.
In an interview several days later, however, Sherman admitted he felt bad for the personal attack on Crabtree, saying it "was uncalled for."
But now it seems Sherman isn't quite done dissing Crabtree about that play. An image first tweeted out by Steiner Sports Memorabilia shows that Sherman has autographed a photo of that famous endzone tip with the words "Sorry Crabtree."
Is it a sarcastic apology? Or is it Sherman at his wittiest, using the same word to describe Crabtree as he did during that postgame rant ("a sorry receiver like Crabtree ...")?
Either way, you can be sure there are Seahawks fans out there who can't wait to get their hands on one of those. But be forewarned.
It's not up for sale on the Steiner website yet, but a photo featuring Sherman with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is. That one -- autographed by the Seattle defender with the words "U mad Bro?" -- is going for $249.99. And that's without a frame.
It seems authenticated Richard Sherman insults don't come cheap.

Colts General Manager Ryan Grigson didn't have much money to spend in his first year on the job, but the financial situation looks better heading into this offseason.
On Tuesday, Grigson said that he wasn't just going to throw money at the biggest names available this offseason. If he does decide to make a big play, though, it wouldn't be surprising to see it happen on the offensive line. Quarterback Andrew Luck was sacked 41 times in his rookie season and took plenty of other hits behind an offensive line that Grigson acknowledges has to get better.
"Andrew has to get hit less, we know that," Grigson said, via the Associated Press. "Andrew took a lot of shots this year but also keep this in mind, and I say this with a lot of conviction, there was only I believe four games this year where our starting offensive line played together. How can you have a cohesive unit?"
Tackles like Ryan Clady, Jermon Bushrod, Jake Long and Branden Albert could be free agents this offseason and would be upgrades of varying degrees over even the healthiest possible Colts unit of 2012. Protecting Luck will be essential to building on this year's success and it should be a top priority in Indy this offseason.

Ian May
Class of 2003
Major/Minor: International Studies, Hispanic Studies
Ian May believes that study and travel abroad is central to his education. He intends to see as much of the world as possible, and then do his part to help people in developing countries. Among his short-term goals after graduation are medical school and a stint in the Peace Corps—both in preparation for a medical career in either Latin America or Africa.
Last summer, with funding assistance from the Society of Junior Fellows, Ian traveled to Ecuador and Columbia, where he studied the effects of globalization on indigenous people. After spending this fall semester at the University of Nebrija in Madrid, Ian is off to Rhodes University in South Africa. He is applying for a State Department internship.
"What you find at WC is the potential for so many different experiences—dozens of opportunities to study and travel abroad, as well as paths for personal growth and leadership. If you have the drive to do something, you can do it now, without waiting until your senior year."

Kimbap/gimbap is Korean Seaweed Rice Roll that is made with seasoned rice and various vegetables and meat that's rolled in dried seaweed (kim). Get the Korean seaweed sushi rolls with beef down below. So easy and yummy!
I'd like to introduce you to chef Julie Yoon, who is a chef based in Orange County.
As you all know, I am into Korean food and have been eating out at many Korean restaurants and also cooking Korean recipes at home.
Whenever I shop at Korean food markets, I am always intrigued by Korean kimbap, which is about the same as Japanese sushi rolls (there are debates that the Koreans invented this type of rolls).
Anyway, I invited Julie to teach us how to make kimbap, check out her delicious beef kimbap recipe including detailed step-by-step pictures.
Please welcome Julie and remember to check out her wonderful blog.
Hey this is Julie from chefjulieyoon.com.
I'm honored to be writing on Bee's blog, but I'm all about simple gourmet cooking with a laid back attitude, so I'm not gonna lie.
When Bee asked me if I could make kimbap for this entry, I nearly fainted. Kimbap has a lot of steps and ingredients, and is a little bit of a nuisance to make.
This recipe is not for your Monday night after you get off of work type of dinner.
I often forget this because kimbap is designed to be "travel-friendly food," mainly taken on the road or to picnics.
And you pop it into your mouth without giving it much thought.
In fact if you walk into any Korean grocery store, you can easily buy a pack of freshly made kimbap, for just a few bucks.
So by no means do people consider it "luxury food."
Kimbap is the Korean version of the Japanese "maki," or rice rolls.
The flavor comes from sesame oil and individually seasoned meats and veggies.
But the one particular ingredient that is the heart of Kimbap is "danmuji," or bright yellow pickled radish you can find at the Korean grocery store in the refrigerated section.
Also, everything is seasoned so well that you don't need to dip it into any kind of sauce.
Maybe you've seen a Korean drama, where they show a mom waking up early at the crack of dawn to roll, slice, and pack these delicious bites for her kids.
This is a labor of love, but once you have all the ingredients prepped, the assembling goes by pretty quickly, and it's worth it because it's like having a well balanced meal in every bite.
You can put all sorts of stuff in here, but in my recipe, I simply didn't want to be bothered with too many ingredients, so I omitted some.
In some recipes, you may find fish cake, imitation crab, or burdock root.
But I wanted to keep it simple and just tackle the basics.
I personally like to add julienned perilla (or sesame) leaves in mine instead of the spinach, which adds a burst of freshness.
But to keep it as authentic as I could, I left it out, and saved it for my "Julie" version, which I'll probably post on my blog sometime soon.
And lastly, before you run off and make this, I will leave you with one tip: season all the individual ingredients well, but don't go nuts.
The ingredient with the most flavor should be the marinated beef.
The rice should be a tad bland, and everything together should be balanced, all in one bite.
Talk about high maintenance, huh?
But after you make kimbap, you'll feel so successful and proud, so definitely give it a try.
It's perfect for a road trip, picnic, potluck, or party. Just be sure to eat it on the same day you make it.
But if you do have leftovers, just refrigerate them.
The next day, dip the pieces in egg and pan fry them.
They'll be as good as new, but with a tasty twist!
Beef Kimbap Recipe
Kimbap Recipe | Easy Asian Recipes.
- 6-7 Sheets dried laver seaweed
- 1 bag of ready to use spinach (9 oz-10 oz)
- 1 log of yellow pickled radish, or "danmuji"
- 1 large carrot, or 2 medium sized carrots, peeled
- 5 Eggs
- Kosher salt, divided
- Sesame oil, divided
- Olive oil, divided
- Roasted sesame seeds, divided
Beef Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
Rice Ingredients:
- 6 cups cooked, 3 cups uncooked short grain or sushi rice
- ½ tablespoon Sesame oil
- ½ tablespoon Olive Oil
- ½ tablespoon Sesame Seeds
- ¼-½ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
For the beef:
In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the beef. Mix everything together by hand and set it aside to marinate while you prepare the other ingredients. When all the other ingredients are prepped, and the beef has had time to marinate, heat a large pan with some olive oil and fry the beef until it is nicely browned. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon into a bowl and set aside.
For the spinach:
Add the entire 9 or 10 oz bag of ready to use spinach in salted boiling water. Boil for 30 seconds, and drain. Run cold water over it to stop the cooking, and squeeze out all the excess moisture with your hand. Transfer to a bowl and season with 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and a couple pinches of kosher salt. Mix well. Set aside.
For the "danmuji," or pickled radish:
Slice the log of radish into ½" thick slices. Cut each slice into strips, so that you end up with thin long strips, about ½" thick in diameter. Set aside.
For the carrots:
Peel and slice your carrot(s) thinly on a diagonal. Lay the slices flat and run your knife through them lengthwise to create thin julienned slices. Saute them in a pan with some olive oil and season with a couple pinches of salt to taste. Set aside.
For the eggs:
Break 5 eggs and add a couple pinches of salt. Whisk well. Heat a large pan with olive oil over medium low heat. Use a paper towel to wipe the pan so that it is evenly coated. Pour in the eggs and let it cook until the bottom is firm and light golden brown. Flip the egg over and cook until light golden brown. Remove to a plate and cut the egg into half-inch strips. Set aside.
For the rice:
Mix the rice last. After all the ingredients are prepped and the beef is cooked, place the 6 cups of cooked rice into a large bowl, along with the other ingredients for the rice. Mix gently, and get everything ready for assembly.
Assembly and slicing:
Place a sheet of dried laver seaweed, shiny side down, on a bamboo mat. Starting from the bottom, spread some rice in a thin even layer, filling about ⅔ of the seaweed sheet.
All of the filling that goes on top of the rice should start at 1" from the bottom, and have 2" of rice above it. Place the danmuji and egg first, leaving a gap in between them. In that gap, add your beef in a neat row. On top of the beef, place the carrot and spinach side by side, also in neat rows.
Starting from the bottom, roll the seaweed sheet, using the mat. The first roll should land right where that excess rice is. That will help it stick together. Gently push and squeeze down on the bamboo mat. Move the mat a litttle further away from you, allowing the kimbap to roll with it. Again, squish down and press with your hands. Then wrap and roll the entire kimbap up in the mat. Squeeze firmly across the entire length of the mat to make the sure the kimbap is tight. If you're having trouble keeping the seaweed shut, add a few grains of the rice at the edge of the seaweed sheet.
Use a brush or a gloved hand to put some sesame oil on the surface of the kimbap rolls. This adds flavor and helps keep the kimbap shiny. It also helps to add a little sesame oil to your knife blade. With a sharp knife, slice the kimbap into thin half inch or bite sized pieces. Kimbap is characteristically sliced thinner than Japanese maki. You can then sprinkle with some more roasted sesame seeds if you want. Pop it into your mouth and enjoy your hard work!
Recipe Notes
TIP: For the summer time, instead of the marinated beef, you can use strips of cooked ham, and instead of spinach, you can either use thin strips of cucumber, or julienned perilla (sesame) leaves to lighten it up and keep it easy!

Sentara RMH Medical Center President Jim Krauss to retire
Jim Krauss, Sentara Healthcare Corporate Vice President and president of Sentara RMH Medical Center (SRMH), will retire on June 24, 2016. He plans to spend more time with family and focus on teaching healthcare executives of the future. Plans for a new president are in development and will be announced at a later date.
Krauss dedicated 15 of his 30 years in healthcare administration to SRMH. He was recruited to Rockingham Memorial Hospital in April 2000 to serve as senior vice-president and chief operating officer and was promoted to president and CEO in 2007. Under his leadership, the hospital added its first tertiary service – open heart surgery, built a replacement facility, formed the SRMH Medical Group in 2010 that has since grown to 145 providers, and merged with Sentara Healthcare. SRMH was also ranked #9 in Virginia by U.S. News & World Report in 2014.
"Jim has been an asset to Sentara Healthcare since our merger in 2011 and has been a driving force in improving the quality and access to care for the community SRMH serves," said Howard Kern, president and chief operating officer of Sentara Healthcare. "While we're sorry to see him leave SRMH, it's great that he'll continue to make a positive impact on the future of health care as he helps educate aspiring healthcare administrators."
During his time at SRMH, Krauss has been involved in many professional and community activities including: board member Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce, board member Harrisonburg Rotary Club, board member WVPT Public Television, founding board member of Explore More Children's Hands-On Museum, chairman of the board for the Central Atlantic Division of VHA, board member of the Sentara Quality Care Network, member of the Commission on Sciences for Eastern Mennonite University, Chairman of the Harrisonburg-Rockingham United Way Campaign, member of the Mary Baldwin College Healthcare Administration Advisory Council, Charter Member of the Executive Advisory Committee for James Madison University's Institute for Innovation in Health and Human Services, adjunct faculty member of Mary Baldwin College, and has been a frequent speaker and lecturer.
Krauss is a fellow in the American College of Healthcare Executives, earned a BA from the Pennsylvania State University, an MA from George Washington University and served in the Peace Corps in Paraguay, South America.
"It has been a privilege and honor to work alongside so many talented professionals who are united by the common goal to improve the health of our community," said Krauss. "It is bittersweet to move on, but I will do so knowing that our team members and the community are all well supported by Sentara."

Molly's Vintage Room with Pops of Red
Name: Molly
Location: Northern New Jersey
This is our daughter Molly's nursery. We rent the "mother" section of an old "mother/daughter" farmhouse in Northern New Jersey. Molly's room is small so we tried to use the space we had to our and Molly's advantage. The two obstacles we faced were space and budget.
We found the rug at Goodwill and that is what set the tone for the room. We mulled over the colors for the nursery and finally went with a seafoam blue/green for the walls and pops of red.
The crib and dresser are from Ikea which fit into our budget. The rocker is a knock-off bought via eBay. The shelves were a garage sale find that we already had. The larger one was perfect to convert into a "closet" for all of Molly's dresses (the room has a closet that is currently jammed packed with our things).
We love vintage so we tried to incorporate as much vintage as we could!
Thanks Emily! Readers, find Emily at her vintage Etsy shop, Pirate's B00ty.

Election Update: Should You Vote?
The Great Debate: To Vote or Not To Vote
First and foremost, let me address the last rant.NOBODY's ancestors died so that anyone could vote.Ancestors died so that their decedents could have the CHOICE to vote if they felt that it was in their best interest to do so!Anyone who is FORCED or PUNKED into voting is just as much a slave as someone who CAN'T vote.The fight is for choice.
Second of all, calm down because I didn't say don't vote.This is called the Great Debate.Why? Because most of the time, we are only given one side.The purpose of this post is simply to get some dialogue going.So if you are reading this, I want you to read it and leave feedback.Let me know if I'm crazy or not.This will be kind of long, and that is why I have put it in two parts.So you can go at this on your own time.
Now if you are close minded about whether you should OR should not vote, and you are dead set on your way of thinking, stop right now, because this will only make you angry.
Let us begin…
The Devil… Or the Devil?
The first thing that a person must do before making a CHOICE on whether or not you want to vote, they have to make a decision on whether any of the candidates are worth voting for.Now, I know what you may be thinking.Just vote for the lesser of evils.Well, I agree totally with that.But this only makes sense if there are actually TWO evils.But, what if there was only one evil (that was made to look like two)?Let me explain what I mean by this.
If you read my post "The Pimp Juice Conspiracy" then you know about Hitler's alleged membership in the secret satanic society The Thule.Now, I was not alive in the 30's, but I'm pretty sure that if German citizens knew that Hitler was in this society, whose goal was to bring the world into a "One World Government" under the Illuminati/International banker bloodlines that he probably would never have been appointed Chancler of Germany (or gotten anywhere near the Reichstag).And if they had known about all of the false flag terrorism that had gone on in the past (by studying history) they probably wouldn't have fell so easy for all of Hitler's foolishness.
Why do I talk about this, well… it's very simple.The Thule Society is an offshoot of the Illuminati whose goal is to bring this "New world order" (One government that rules the planet) into place".Interestingly enough, there is a secret society right here in America that is also a branch of the Illuminati and is designed to bring the world into a New World Order.It's called Skull & Bones (or The Brotherhood of Death). This society exists at Yale University.There is also a mirror society at Princeton called Cap and Gown.But we will stay focused on Skull & Bones at this point. Now, before I get started… KNOW THIS.I don't just pull conspiracy theories out of the sky and propagate them just for shock value.I do research.So, I'm not going to argue against anybodies "opinion".So, I will tell you what I told people who didn't like the Pimp Juice article.If you have sources to bring to the table that can invalidate what I say, please do so (I am open minded).Now, let's talk about Skull and Bones
The Brotherhood of Death
Let's pop it off in the early 1830's with a man named William H. Russell.Russell had come from a very wealthy family, where his 2nd cousin Samuel Russell had formed Russell and Company in 1823. Its business was to acquire opium from Turkey and smuggle it into China, (where it was prohibited) under the armed protection of the British Empire.
William traveled to Germany to study for a year.While he was there he was initiated into a branch of the Illuminati that used a skull as it's logo (also the symbol of the elite Nazi SS). When he came back from Germany, he along with Alphonso Taft (attorney general and father to future President William Taft) formed the secret society that they called, The Brotherhood of Death (a.k.a. Skull & Bones). In 1832, Skull and Bones was launched under the Russell pirate flag.
They adopted the number 322.This is for a couple of reasons.First it symbolized that this was the 2nd chapter of the secret society that Russell belonged to AND it was founded in 1832.Second, this order is descended from a Greek fraternal order that started with a Greek man named Demosthenes (father of Alexander the Great) who died in 322 B.C.
The Skull and Bones philosophy is the "double-cross system." Hence the Crossbones symbol with the Skull.Anyone who is not in the loop (so to speak) can be double crossed (tricked, lied to, manipulated, etc etc…) to further the insiders' agenda.
Tap Night – Tales from the Crypt
Skull and Bones selects 15 junior class Yale students to be initiated (tapped) into this society every year.The "type" that Skull and Bones are looking for are typically white males that come from a wealthy family.
On Tap night, Skull and Bones initiates are taken into a dark windowless crypt.The initiates will wrestle in mud and be beaten (which symbolizes their death to the outside world). They will then lay naked in a coffin filled with muddy water (baptized into this satanic order), masturbate (or be masturbated by their initiator) and reveal their sexual secrets to the society.The initiation also includes the initiates kneeling before a figure dressed as Satan, kissing a skull, splitting the throat of a mock victim and chanting, "THE HANGMAN EQUALS DEATH! THE DEVIL EQUALS DEATH! DEATH EQUALS DEATH!"
After this initiation the initiates become Knights of the order where they are given new names.They are then introduced to the artifacts in the tomb (many of which are NAZI paraphernalia) and according to Alexandra Robbins of "Secrets of the Tomb" are "introduced to "the Bones whore," the tomb's only full-time resident, who helps to ensure that the Bonesmen leave the tomb more mature than when they entered."
Kay Griggs also makes mention of how "secret" societies like these will have induction ceremonies that include masturbation as well as oral and anal sex inside of coffins.She also explained that the societies will have orgies, where they will try to entice the men to have gay sex.The ones who engage in homosexuality will move up the political latter.
These rituals trace back to Pederasty in Ancient Greece (where it was often rites of passage for a boy to become a man by being penetrated by an older male).The influence of the Ancient Greeks still resonates today as you have groups like NAMBLA (a.k.a. North American Man Boy Love Association) who traces their ideology back to Ancient Greece and of course, today's Olympic Games hosted by Sudanese ally, China.But anyway… back to the story.
The purpose of Skull & Bones is just like that of the Thule Society, which is to bring the world into a New World Order which is controlled by the bloodlines of the Illuminati/International Bankers.To do this, they must infiltrate all of powerful institutions of society, like media, financial institutions and government institutions.Well… have they succeeded?Here is a list of Bonesmen you may or may not know (starting with the founders).
William Huntington Russell (1832), Connecticut State Legislator
Alphonso Taft (1832), U.S. Attorney General (1876–1877); Secretary of War (1876); Ambassador to Austria-Hungary (1882) and Russia (1884–1885); father of William Howard Taft
William Howard Taft (1878), 27th President of the United States; Chief Justice of the United States; Secretary of War; son of Alphonso Taft.
Russell W. Davenport ('23), editor Fortune Magazine, created Fortune 500 list.
Pierre Jay (1892), first chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Archibald MacLiesh ('15), poet, diplomat, three-time Pulitzer Prize winner, and Librarian of Congress.
Harold Stanley ('08), founder Morgan Stanley, investment banker.
Briton Hadden ('20), co-founder of Time-Life Enterprises.
Henry Luce ('20), co-founder of Time-Life Enterprises.
Henry P. Davison ('20), senior partner Morgan Guaranty Trust.
Artemus Gates ('18), President of New York Trust Company, Union Pacific, TIME, Boeing Company.
William Henry Draper III ('50), Chair of United Nations Development Programmer and Export-Import Bank of the United States.
Dean Witter, Jr. ('44), son of the founder of investment house Dean Witter Reynolds and investment banker.
Potter Stewart ('36), Supreme Court Justice.
Evan G. Galbraith ('50), US ambassador to France; managing director of Morgan Stanley.
Austin D. Goolsbee (remember this name) ('91), Economist and Professor of Economics at the Univ. of Chicago Graduate School of Business.
Earl G. Graves, Jr. ('84), president of Black Enterprise.
Robert Gow ('55), business associate of George H. W. Bush; president of Bush's Zapata Oil.
Winston Lord ('59), Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, Ambassador to China and a Clinton assistant Secretary of State.
George Herbert Walker, Jr. ('27), financier and co-founder of the NY Mets.
Prescott Bush ('16), U.S. Senator (R-Connecticut 1952–1963) and financier of Hitler, Father of George H.W. Bush, grandfather of George W. Bush.
George H. W. Bush ('48), 41st President of the United States; 11th Director of the C.I.A.
And of course, if you haven't guessed it, George W. Bush (current president – Tapped in 1968) is a member of this organization.Since Prescott (Bush's grandfather) was instrumental in helping the NAZIs, that may explain why the events of 9/11 seem so similar to Hitler's Reichstag fire in Germany!But interestingly enough, guess who else is a member.Bush's cousin, John Kerry (Tapped in 1966)!Now, this is not a conspiracy "theory" Both men have gone on national television and admitted it.Watch below.
Wow… WHAT A COINCIDENCE!!Well… maybe that's why after the election, John Kerry laid down and accepted his defeat so gracefully.This young student may have been on to something.But the next time you want to get hyped up, … be careful, you may get dealt wit!Now see, based on the facts that politicians have lied constantly to the public, you would THINK that people would do a background check.But since most people don't read and they get all of there info from mainstream media, most people walk blindly.
Then people run around and say, VOTE OR SHUT UP!So, let me get this straight.You have more of a right to complain about poli-tricks because you voted for your own slavery but I didn't?No Doubt, we are living 180 degrees from truth!I'm not here to talk down to anyone, because I was there in 2004 also.But I have learned MUCH since then.
One of Dictator Stalin's most infamous quotes was, "He who votes decides nothing.He who COUNTS the votes, decides everything."I will address this in part 2.But another quote from Stalin that gets less publicity is, "Whoever they vote for, they will vote for us!"
So this brings me to my point.Did you really have a choice?Do you think Kerry would have done things differently?And, if so… why? My comment lines are open. If you had known that Kerry and Bush where in the same society, with the same goals and had taken the same oath (which supersedes all other oaths including the one to preserve the Constitution), would you have even voted?
4 Years Later
But of course, this is not 2004.We have a whole new cast of characters in this fiction movie called Democracy.So, let us do a quick background check on the current cast.
When you look at the candidates for the President of the United Sta…. OH MY GOODNESS… I almost forgot.THIS IS NOT THE UNITED STATES ANYMORE!This is now North America.Well… it will be pretty soon (projected to be, by 2010).You see in 2005 President Bush, signed into action without anyone's approval, The North American Union.This union will merge the U.S, Canada and Mexico into one entity.This will of course cost money and also of course, YOU will pay for it.
Well… who is behind this?Is this something that George Bush decided to do on his own?Of course not.The group behind this loss of sovereignty is none other than…
The Council on Foreign Relations
Who is the CFR?Well, too answer this, we must begin back in the year 1917, which was 4 years after the Federal Reserve Act was passed that put the United States entire money system into the hands of private bankers starting with the Rothschilds (the REAL founder of the Illuminati).J.P. Morgan (also one of the Federal Reserve owners) hired 12 high ranking news managers to determine the most influential newspapers in America.They found that by purchasing the top 25 newspapers that they could pretty much control the policy of the daily press.
The policy of those papers was bought & an editor was placed at each paper to make sure that all published information will be in line with the new agenda.WHAT AGENDA?Why of course, the same agenda as everything else around here; bringing the world into one system which is ruled by the hands of the international bankers!But how would they go about doing it?International Banking is a start, but further measures needed to be taken.So in 1921 we see the Council on Foreign Relations being founded by Edward Mandell House (who had been the chief advisor to Woodrow Wilson).
This was under the control of Morgan, Paul Warburg and later on Rockefellers (starting in the late 20's).The Carnegie Foundation began to support the CFR in the 40's.Starting with President Roosevelt, the CFR gained majority control over The State Department and later on, the C.I.A.It's sole objective is to destroy the independence of the United States and bring them into a one world government.Do not be fooled by all of these FRONT organizations.They all have the same goal and purpose.Multiple groups simply allow these so-called elitists to expand their power un-noticeably.
The CFR also expanded into different cities. Most notably, in 1922 we see the Chicago CFR being formed (also claiming to just be an innocent non-partisan group, just like the CFR claims).In September of 06 the Chicago CFR changed it's name to The Chicago Council on Global Affairs.All of the cities used to be on the CFR website, but they seem to have now been removed.Anyway…the council also expanded by establishing a head quarter in Washington. They have now established Task forces and also Think Tanks, like the Atlanta Roundtable where the North American Integration post 9/11 was discussed.
Professor Carol Quigley (CFR member and mentor to Bill Clinton) wrote in his book "Tragedy and Hope" "The CFR is the American Branch of a society which originated in England, and which believes that national boundaries should be obliterated, and a one-world rule established."And ladies and gentlemen, It looks like they are doing a pretty good job of it too.The North American Union will obliterate all borders in North America and merge us into one entity.The constitution will become obsolete, and the new currency will be The Amero.
The Council on Foreign Relations is behind the The North American Union, the European Union, The African Union and The Asian Union. And once these 4 Unions are fully established, they will eventually be merged to form and One World Union (a.k.a. New World Order)
The Trilateral Commission
In 1970, Council on Foreign Relations member Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote a book entitled, "Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era"Brzezinski was a proponent of Marxism, as he wrote in his book, "Marxism disseminated on the popular level in the form of Communism, represented a major advance in man's ability to conceptualize his relationship to his world."He argued that a "coordinated policy" among "developed" nations was needed to counter global instability
Zbigniew Brzezinski is also the author of the NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM #46. This was signed into law in 1978 when Brzezinki was head of National Security. This document basically states that The U.S. Government must monitor and launch covert and clandestine groups to stop Black people in the world from uniting together. This way the U.S. can continue to drain South Africa of it's natural resources.
The document also states that there should be mistrust created in America towards Blacks who want to unite, and that it also should be "borne in the mind" that Africa is economically backward, inadequate and that drought and famine are normal for them.
With this mentality in place, genocide for Africans will be viewed as "no big deal" even by Blacks in America. And a lot less ruckus will be raised about Americas conquest of raw materials there.
In 1973, Jimmy Carter (commissioner of the Global 2000 report) became a student of Brzezinki and they would eventually develop a close relationship.David Rockefeller read Brzezinki's book, and from the thesis of it co-founded The Trilateral Commission along with Brzezinki (who served as director from 73-76) and Jimmy Carter.Dick Cheney was also one of the founders.The commission's official purpose was/is to link North America, Japan and Western Europe in their economic, political and defense relations with "developing" and Communist countries.
Senator Barry Goldwater stated in his book "With No Apologies" that the commission really is, "intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States."The TC is in essence, just another branch of the CFR.Goldwater also stated that one of the Trilateral Commission's members needed to become president to further their agenda.Jimmy Carter fulfilled this wish.
New World Order Being Fulfilled
Now let's fast forward to recent times.Also, in 2005 Congress passed the Real ID Act.This will require everyone to have a federal identification card that has a scan-able barcode with all of your personal info on it.This card will eventually have a tracking device on it to track individuals wherever they go.This was originally projected to happen by May of 2008, but I believe it has now been pushed back to 2014 (due to some initial resistance).This tracking device is already in current U.S. Passports.Then, the next step will be to implant a computer chip inside your body (Mark of the beast?)!RFID chips have already been approved by the FDA.They are being used and promoted in pets and animals for tracking purposes.This chip will include everything about.All of your info, medical records AND YOUR MONEY ACCOUNT BALANCES will be on this chip.At this point, anyone who protests against anything that Massa decides to do, will have their chip turned off.And since all aspects of society at that point will be accessible through your chip, well… it will be tight on ya! This scenario may actually be appealing to some. Not me.
Now, of course, if this type of thing were reported everyday in mainstream newspapers and shown on mainstream tell-lies-vision, then there may be a few protests.This is why Morgan wanted to buy off the newspapers in the first place.But this isn't just about the newspapers.The mass media is controlled by these groups!And as long as they can control the flow of information, foolishness can occur.Check the following quote:
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years……It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries."
Author: David Rockefeller, Source: Trilateral Commission meeting, June, 1991
Government in Denial
At this point, the Whitehouse is currently trying to deny that the North American Union is happening.This, despite the reports on CNN and CNBC.It is funny to me.A couple of months ago, I did a google search on the CFR website and found ALL KIND of articles promoting the North American Union like it was their favorite team!Now, when I do the search, most of the articles are gone.They also had an extensive list of members on their board of directors and various committees.This has also disappeared.Never the less there is a lot of talk on the CFR website about a North American "Community"
Now even though we know the real reason for all of this North American Union business, there has/had to be a reason it is/was given.Knowing how the government likes to keep you in fear, so you will give them your rights, it is only appropriate that one of the main selling points for this merger is security.In other words, we should have to give up our sovereignty to protect ourselves.
This following publications spell out the CFR's interest in consolidating North America for security reasons.
More importantly, let's read what Richard N. Haass, President, of the Council on Foreign Relations thinks about Sovereignty in the U.S.
In this article Haass says,
"Globalisation thus implies that sovereignty is not only becoming weaker in reality, but that it needs to become weaker. States would be wise to weaken sovereignty in order to protect themselves, because they cannot insulate themselves from what goes on elsewhere. Sovereignty is no longer a sanctuary."
Once again, this is not a conspiracy "theory" The president of the CFR admits in his OWN article on the CFR website that he is for the erosion of sovereignty in America (I guess they didn't remove everything).But what is crazy, is that they had the clout to do this, without the approval of anyone in Congress or the American "so-called" voters.Question… Did you vote for anyone in the CFR?NOPE!But I bet you voted for all of those Con (as opposed to Pro)gress men who sat there helpless and watched!
Now you may be anticipating my point.The people who you vote for don't have any power anyway, and in essence it doesn't matter who the president is, because, this country is being manipulated by a bunch of shadowy, in the closet leaders who REALLY pull the strings.Well… This is very true, but I'm not even gonna go there.I feel that maybe we are going to be ushered into the New World Order, at least we should know who the people that are doing it.SO… let's look at some of the names of people in the CFR
Corporate Notables
ABC News, IBM, Morgan Stanley, NASDAQ, Time Warner, Nike, Ford Motor, General Electric, Google, American Express, FedEx, Exxon Mobil, JPMorgan Chase.
Notable Members
Alan Greenspan (Federal Reserve), Barbara Walters (ABC), Paul Tagliabue (former commissioner of the NFL), Henry Kissinger, Bill Moyers (journalist), Tom Brokaw (NBC), Dan Rather (CBS), Paul Warburg (federal reserve act architect), David Rockefeller, George Bush Sr. & Jr., Angelina Jolie (now the UN Goodwill ambassador), Colin Powell (now on the board of directors), Condoleeza Rice, Diane Sawyer (ABC), Dick Cheney, Hillary Clinton, John Mccain, and yes… Dick Cheney's cousin (watch those bloodlines) Barack Obama.
Oops!Wait a minute.Let me back it up!Everyone is "saying" that Obama is in the CFR.People are even saying that he is on the committee, but his membership is not official.When asked about whether or not he was a member, he responded by saying,
"I'm not sure if I'm an official member." & "It's basically a forum where a bunch of people talk about foreign policy" & "There's no official membership… I don't have a card or a special handshake or anything like that" and… well instead of quoting Barack, I think it will have a better effect if you just WATCH IT!
No evidence of North American Union?Now… somebody like me, based on this response, can come to a quick conclusion about Obama's association.But, I'm not here to put out hearsay.So, lets go with what we DO know.
#1.Barack's wife Michelle Obama is on the Board of Directors of the Chicago CFR
#2.Obama's main image adviser and foreign policy adviser is Zbigniew Brzezinski.Yes, the co-founder of Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission and also the author of the National Security Council Memorandum #46. Conflict of interest for Obama?……….. APPARENTLY NOT!
#3.Obama's top economic advisor is Austan D. Goolsbee (remember that name?), a member of Skull & Bones!
So, even though Obama is mysteriously
Not sure whether he is an official member (no card or special handshake), yet
1.Knows that there is no official membership &
2.Knows that the CFR is just a bunch of people talking about foreign policy
… things which you could only know if you WHERE a member or where associated with the CFR, one (in my opinion) would have to be pretty naïve to actually believe that Obama is not involved or has no knowledge of the One World Government.
While we are on Obama, I have to admit that the Obama story is an amazing one.Why?Well…
Do you remember Katrina?
I certainly do.Now, of course, when I refer to Katrina, I'm not talking about the Hurricane, I'm talking about the Act of Genocide in New Orleans.I remember it like it was yesterday.And after all of this foolishness went down, black folk were ANGRY.I heard and read people say "Let's go back to Africa""They have proven that they don't want "us" here.The spirit of Garvey, and the spirit of X began to rise.People were frustrated and disenfranchised!All of the Black Nationalist began to stand up and say, "See… I TOLD you."People saw how blatant the government's response was, and how they held back help.They knew that this was bigger than just Bush.This was corruption from top to bottom!People were talking about taking some heads, or starting a REAL revolution to overturn the system.People were thinking about organizing.
But then………………….Here comes BARACK OBAMAAAA to the rescue!Now… these SAME people who thought the government was unreformable, suddenly started to believe a change is gonna come.These SAME people, who said, "I'm sick of voting.It doesn't matter who you vote for.They put in whoever they want to anyway!Look at how they disenfranchised us, and look at how they erased our votes." Are suddenly now believe that "if we all come together, we can get this man in."Even some Pan-Afrikanists took a break from talking about Pyramids and Melanin and offered support.Some people are even talking about Obama being the Black Jesus!Obama truly united the masses and fixed the rigged voting machines.Blacks went from reading poems like THIS… to reading poems like THIS!
Yes, you read it right.IF I DIE before the elections, it's ok!OH… MY… GOODNESS!At this point!J. Edgar Hoover must be rolling around in his grave right now.I mean, if all that you have to do is throw a brown skinned man out there, FBI COINTELPRO never would have been necessary!The Messiah is here.Black people have gone from [We're angry enough to bust some heads] to [So happy that God can take us right now… not because a black man is president, but because a black man "has a chance" to be president] Is it that easy? I guess so.
Well I'll be.If Katrina is what woke you up, Obama is what put you right back to sleep.I realize that that may be offensive to some people, but we are all entitled to our opinions (including me).
With all of that being said, given his links to multiple "New World Order" front organizations, I doubt that Obama will bring any "change" to America outside of skin tone.
Now, if you aren't so enraged that you have stopped reading and/or scrolled down to the bottom of this page to put pure emotion in the comment box, consider the following.
U.S.A. is now making up false information about Iran.Doesn't this mess sound just like Iraq?All of this stuff about Iran being a threat to us?
Here is what Obama, and Mccain have to say about Iran.
Obama. [1]
Doesn't the U.S. "Iran has got weapons" talk sound JUST like Bush, Powell and Rice's talk and flip flop about Iraq?We never found WMD'S in Iraq?Do you think we will find any in Iran after we declare war on the….. OOOH MY GOODNESS.I almost forgot again!WE HAVE ALREADY DECLARED WAR ON IRAN (way back in March). Boy I tell you.If my head wasn't attached to my face, I might just walk off and leave it.We may also be planning an air strike this month. An air strike may have already happened. It's not like they would tell us.
So, let me rephrase what I was about to say.Which one of these candidates do you think will stop this declaration once they get in?Seeing that Iraq and Iran two of the few countries not yet under the control of the international bankers who own the Federal Reserve Bank, what do you think this is REALLY about?
So, tell me,… Who are you going to vote for this year? The New World Order? Or… The New World Order? Please let me know.
Supposedly, Bush has signed executive orders allowing him to stay in power if a war breaks out.Many believe that the elections will be stopped for this reason and Bush will remain in power.Another school of thought is that Obama will win, and after the Obama Hustle is done, the economy will crash (complete with food shortages, poverty and civil unrest) and/or we will then be "attacked" by a SO CALLED terrorist. As a matter of fact, the economy is on its way out anyway! SO GET READY!!!! Enough said.
Then Barack will (as a Black Man) be blamed. White Supremacist groups have already claimed that they want Obama in, because he will make things so bad that white people will realize how stupid they were for trusting Jigaboos. Now, since a lot of these White supremacist groups (like the Klan for instance) have been known at times to have ties to the government, one has to wonder. Do they really think that Obama is that much more incompetent than McCain, or do they know something that we don't?
Colin Powell has already predicted an International Crisis after the Presidential Inauguration! Joe Biden has weighed in with his GUARANTEE also. Race Wars may ensue (which will lead to Martial Law and depopulation by populating jails… or camps). Gun sales have set the roof on fire since Obama became the favorite for office. If there were (heaven forbid) an assassination or an attempt at one, this type of environment will heighten.This will be great for the diabolical supremacists who seek to create racial tension. There are others who feel that something last minute will allow McCain to get in. This all remains to be seen.
Nevertheless, the point that I am trying to get across is basically this.While people sit around on tell-lies-vision and argue about flag pens, who's pastor said what, who got shot at in Bosnia, and generally BS that is so irrelevant that it would be hard to follow along even if the New World Order didn't exist, … when it comes to REAL ISSUES, like… The Council on Foreign Relations, The New World Order, The U.S. Patent for the Continuous production of and the Cure for AIDS, The Real ID Act, The Bilderberg Group This New War On Iran, The International Bankers and The Federal Reserve (which is not federal, nor has any reserves), RFID Chips and basic issues like… "WE ARE ALL ABOUT TO SLAVES".All of these so called politicians are ALL SILENT!! Why is that?
But, then again, maybe they are NOT all on the same page.Maybe there are some good polititians out there. How about Cynthia McKinney (Green Party)! You can watch her in Action.
Or what about Ron Paul?Is he this mysterious knight in shining armor, who can save America?Is it he, who can come and uphold the Constitution, Shut down the Federal Reserve cartel, The Council on Foreign Relations and the Bilderberg Group? Is it he, who can end the federal income tax fraud and restore the power to the people?Is this the new Lord and Savior… Ron Paul Christ?!
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmmmm… Yeah… ok.

Hope College sophomore Amber Nyblad has been crowned the 2009 Michigan Apple Queen.
The Michigan Apple Queen Pageant took place on Tuesday, Dec. 9, at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Michigan Apple Committee.
The queen and her court represent the Michigan apple industry at parades, fairs, festivals and media events throughout the year. Contestants, between the ages of 17 and 23, are judged on several factors including poise, professionalism and apple industry knowledge.
Amber is the daughter of Nels and Luanne Nyblad of Casnovia, and has grown up in the family business, Nyblad Orchards. A 2007 graduate of Kent City High School, she is a management major and has been involved in a variety of activities at the college, including the Baker Scholars, the spring break mission trip program, Justice League, Women of Hope, the lacrosse club and the sailing club.

Will Surprises Never Cease?
Chapter 1: Moving
Stan was busy helping his mom and dad for a week solid. His dad got a great new job hundreds of miles away, in New England, and for a boy from the big city it seemed like things were going downhill fast.
But he understood, because as a junior the teachers already were harping about what careers you might want to get into after graduation, and even he had to take a little time to think. His dad said hed leave it completely up to him and his mom did mention a few things...obviously she thought very highly of his few skills... but he just smiled and helped load the big moving van and after a long tiring trip they arrived at their new home. A nice big two story house next to a river and within sight of the high school where he would graduate...that is if you knew where to look since you could barely see the top of one building through the trees.
The neighborhood was clean, the entire town seemed overly friendly, and already he had seen some pretty foxy young ladies around, so living here might not be so bad after all.
He was told there were two high schools in the town, one right down the street and another on the far side of town, about 10 miles away. He wondered if they had enough students for two schools, but he just left it go and after spending a few days getting the house set up he walked down the street and into the school for the first time.
It was a nice place...lots of red bricks and big windows that tilted out in the summer to get more air inside. The office was on the first floor and when he went to sign in they held him for a few minutes and he got tested...to see what his skills were they said...but they were some of the oddest tests he had ever taken, but he gave it his all and when they were done a teacher came and led him down a long hall to his homeroom.
There he got introduced, and he was told that his testing would continue after class, and he looked like he might be getting upset. He had never seen a school where testing was so important, but he nodded and took his seat and after the teacher left he got the whole new kids first day thing with a hundred questions about everything he had ever done before and where he came from.
Baseball huh? One kid asked as Stan agreed saying he played outfield with the local team back home in Chicago, and they had a lot of fun even though they never were real contenders in the Fall contests.
There are a lot of clubs here and sports too, maybe well see you in one of them? He got asked, and he said hed think about it and many nodded happily that the new kid wasnt too hard to get along with.
Whats your skill? One grumpy looking brunette sitting a few rows over asked, as someone cleared their throat as the teacher came back in.
The person sitting behind her whispered something and she looked at him oddly for a second, and after a second more class got started again and things settled back down nicely.
After seeing how classes were going to go Stan was led away again... and he asked why so many tests... and the lady smiled and said it was very important to know what he needed to learn and what could be ignored. And that got him wondering right there... because his other school didnt ignore anything... to his immediate dislike. He was terrible at History for instance, and the teacher was determined to make him memorize things that he would never see, about people he would never know. Silly to him for sure.
So maybe after a few days like this theyd see that he hated it and hed never need to remember that junk again, but he doubted it was going to be that easy.
More tests, odder than the last. read this card they asked and as he did he mentioned that he couldnt see it but they insisted and so he closed his eyes and said whatever came to mind at the time, and they rushed through to something else.
Dont bump the case... he got told and he looked down at a metal marble inside a glass case and they said to imagine it moving and he laughed and asked them if they were UFO nuts or something, but they just smiled some more and he waved his hand like some great magician and said move I demand it! and then walked away laughing, and more notes were taken.
Its been fun and all... but you guys are just weird. Stan said finally as the lady looked oddly at him and she led him back to the front door and he went home to study for the first quiz in Math that he knew was coming. It was no big thing since he was further ahead than this in Math at his old school so he didnt have much to worry about, and as he sat eating a buzz came at the front door and his mom got it to see a great looking little blond standing there smiling and she handed her a form, all filled out, and she read it and nodded seriously for her and signed it and handed it back.
Ill leave it up to you. Clare said softly and shut the door and went back inside saying it was just a salesman, and they finished their dinner and Stan went upstairs to study and mom and dad had a soft little talk in their room about their sons future.
Chapter 2: Meet the Instructors...and get Some Answers
Stan finished his regular classes and as he walked towards the front door a lady teacher called to him and asked him to follow her and he sighed thinking more of these odd tests might be coming. He did as she asked, and soon found himself sitting looking at 4 teachers who all shook his hand and smiled...way too much he thought...and Stan asked what was going on and they said it all would be explained in a second, and he couldnt wait to hear that explanation, so he sat back and waited.
It took way more than a second, and he was about ready to leave them standing there when the door opened and in walked a man big enough to be Rambos older brother, only wearing really nice cloths and shoes that looked like they cost a fortune.
AH! he said looking around Stanley Hemming isnt it? he asked with his hand out as Stan agreed.
Its been many years since we had a 5 letter student here, so please excuse my friends for looking so surprised. he added as Stan asked what he even meant by that ,as he gave the rest a dirty look and one lady mentioned that Stan was ...in the very least...intimidating, and he just shook his head and smiled.
Every test you took had a letter assigned to it, each letter stood for a force of Nature... Air, Water,Fire,Earth, Time and Space. To find a skill in any of those would give you a code using that letter, but you have multiple skills, not all very strong but enough to measure, and so your code is STEFA...and since Air is your strongest skill its the last letter in your code, understand now? He asked as Stan just shook his head no and they looked sad for him.
Let me explain then... He heard as his mom walked in dressed very well indeed, and even the big man stepped back out of respect. We moved here so you can go to school at this place, and no other. Your Father actually took a small cut in pay coming here but my salary will more than make up for that. She added as he still looked lost and she finally laughed out loud.
Welcome to Hemming Academy...a school for special students like you. Remember how you were playing ball and no one last year could catch anything you threw? You were in the outfield and even at home base the speed was too much. Heres a hint, sophomores in high school dont usually throw 90 mph balls from 200 yards away. So a special instructor came to watch a game and after that admitted you had skills. So when we learned that you inherited some of our skills, we moved back here so you could get proper training to learn to use them. This school has been around for 300 years training people like you, me and your father. You think your dad works in some office? He really works as a Freelancer prospecting for oil companys and finding new sites to drill, but he doesnt need any big expensive machines, he can smell the oil through miles of rock. I can travel massive distances in a second and have been working here part time for years. Its our families own school after all. She said with some pride, and waited for it to sink in.
I get it now... Stan said with a big grin as everyone finally smiled wide again. youre all on drugs! Thats the only explanation! he added as his mom gave him a good slap and everyone looked away to keep from seeing it, or letting her see them laughing.
Ladies and gentlemen... She said loudly and one by one they showed him their skills. One lady had a 6 inch icicle in her hand a second later and was chewing on it, another lady tossed a fireball back and forth in her hands and the thin looking older man was floating on a cushion of air 2 feet off the floor, while the big muscular man seemed to fade in and out of sight.
No Stanley... His mom said loudly... and seriously close to his ear. we ARENT on drugs.. And she slapped him again softly and introduced them all as his teachers and from today forward he was a REAL student here and not some test subject getting shuffled from room to room.
And Ill learn what exactly? he asked finally as she waved to them and smiled.
Everything. She said and they applauded for him and he felt his whole world was fake up until today. When in class you use your code name... in your case STEFA...it tells anyone who knows us that you have multiple skills. Its not some odd nickname, itll follow you the rest of your life and be proud of it, many dont have that many skills to train. She explained and by now he just nodded looking like his entire world had just collapsed... because to him maybe it did.
Go home and study, I have a meeting then well go out for dinner. She whispered and he walked out slowly and in shock, and she stayed to talk to the teachers gathered there, and by the time he got hungry she and his Steve were ready to go, and they took him to some of their favorite places around town, and he was surprised many people knew them on sight.
I told you I worked here for years. Clare hinted, as Stan had to think maybe the world was a lot more complicated than he first thought, and many around them smiled and waved and he started feeling a little overwhelmed by it all but smiled back and waved when asked to, and on their way home they both told him stories of them in school, where they met, and that hed have fun here too now that the formalities were over, and he tried to believe them even if it all just seemed to sudden to accept.

What's so important about crawling?
Heather Haring, OTR/L
MedCentral Pediatric Therapy
As a mother, I remember celebrating each of my children's development milestones, from rolling over to sitting on their own to crawling and walking. After all, each stage of physical development is important... or is it?
In 1994 the American Academy of Pediatrics started to encourage parents to put their babies to sleep on their backs to help prevent sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). SIDS has decreased more than 50 percent, but according to several studies an inadvertent result of the campaign is that more children are meeting their motor milestones later or bypassing them altogether. This is because the lack of time on their bellies doesn't allow children to develop their upper bodies enough for the classic hands-and-knees crawl. Some children will only crawl for a short period of time, crawl "funny" or skip this milestone completely. The question this raises is, "Is crawling really that important?"
The answer is, "Yes." Along with strengthening the trunk, shoulders and hand muscles, the mechanics of crawling stimulate different areas of the brain that are important for future learning. When a child begins crawling, this repetitious movement helps stimulate and organize neurons, allowing her brain to control cognitive processes such as comprehension, concentration and memory. When an infant crawls, she visually determines where she wants to go and physically moves in that direction. Her hands become the guides and the child's first test of hand/eye coordination becomes established. This skill set is used later in life for reading, writing and sports activities.
Another important piece of development that occurs during the crawling stage is binocular vision. This involves training the eyes to look off into the distance and then back at the hands while crawling. Binocular vision is used when a child needs to copy something from a blackboard at school. Crawling is also a cross lateral movement that strengthens both the left and right side of the brain, allowing increased communication between the two sides of the brain and enhancing learning.
There is an interesting theory about a link between lack of crawling and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. It all has to do with a reflex we are born with called the "symmetric tonic neck reflex" (STNR). This reflex helps us operate our upper and lower body independently. Usually this reflex is inhibited, or matures, between nine and twelve months. When a child gains independent control of his or her neck, arms and legs, the STNR is matured. This can be achieved through alternate hands and knees crawling for at least six months. When this reflex does not integrate, some of the symptoms are:
The book "Stopping ADHD" cites a study by Dr. Miriam Bender that found that at least 75 percent of the learning-disabled people surveyed had an immature symmetric tonic neck reflex contributing to their disability.
Children will crawl when they are ready, but parents can make things more enticing. Clearing large spaces for mobility practice, keeping floors and carpets clean for the little ones and safeguarding against sharp corners or other hazards will all help babies stay safe as they navigate with their new skills. Some ways to encourage your child to crawl are to:
Above all, make it fun! Not all children who do not crawl or only crawl for a short amount of time are going to have difficulties with learning and integrating their reflexes. However, based on all of the benefits that hands-and-knees crawling provide, it makes sense to encourage it.

The street is alive on Bourbon.
Dixieland Jazz blares from one club, and rap music booms from another. Necklaces with beads gold and green, red and yellow, silver and purple jump from balconies, coiling and uncoiling while falling to the people below.
They scream. They laugh.
They sip colorful drinks from tall, thin glasses.
"Everyone sees the French Quarter as New Orleans," said Elaine Cordier, 58, a New Orleans resident and native. "That's not New Orleans."
The city, for the first time since
View the Video Super Bowl Memories
It's not all Bourbon Street and beads here, though. There are people in New Orleans who barely know the Super Bowl exists, and don't really care even if they do.
Katrina left her scars. In some parts more than others, they remain visible, the issues that caused them still unresolved.
Leave the French Quarter to find these places. Hop on Interstate-10 due east, and after a quick drive of about 10 minutes, exit on Read Boulevard.
Welcome to, as Cordier considers it, the real New Orleans. A place unmolested by the city's Super Bowl touchup.
On Saturday, a couple dozen men in hard hats clawed and dug into the dirt behind what was once Pendleton Memorial Methodist Hospital. Today, it's a brown building shortened by two letters — the signage reads " ethodist ospital" — and "seven-plus years of patient care."
It's shut down now. Since Katrina, there have been no working hospitals east of the Industrial Canal, a side of town known as New Orleans East.
Need an ambulance ride to the emergency room? That commute across I-10 doesn't seem so quick anymore, and it becomes complicated during inclement weather, which compromises the emergency response vehicles' drive across the waterway.
"That was a complicated transaction to begin with," said Cedric Grant, New Orleans' deputy mayor who oversees facilities, infrastructure and community development. "It wasn't a public hospital when it was damaged. It was a private hospital where the private owner decided to abandon site, take the insurance proceeds and move on. …
"Let's be honest. There were opportunities to get after this work post-Katrina that were missed."
It's not just hospitals. While the French Quarter thrives, damaged or abandoned buildings dot the landscape away from downtown, a picture of despair.
The city is well aware. Along with other issues, Grant said the most recent city administration, which came into office in 2010, has plans for rejuvenation. He points to a $130 million project to build a new hospital on the east side as proof. That broke ground Jan. 11.
Still, while the tourist areas have received fast and obvious upgrades, change in other areas is slow.
In 2012, there were 193 reported murders in New Orleans, or an average of about 3.7 people a week.
"We do have a high murder rate," said James Carville, co-chairperson of the New Orleans Super Bowl Committee.
A police officer who works in New Orleans' Seventh District, the headquarters of which are located on the east side just a few blocks from the hospital's construction, agreed to speak Saturday under the condition of anonymity, citing department policy against speaking to reporters.
The officer and a colleague both said they agree with a local perception that younger offenders are committing more serious crimes since Katrina.
Some residents tie the perceived phenomena to the recreation centers that were destroyed and never rebuilt, eliminating outlets for youth activity.
The officer believes that explanation is too simple, saying enough resources are there for those who choose to use them.
Instead, the officer says that, like the empty east-side buildings, many of the city's people problems stem from abandonment. Many of these offenders are literally people who, when the storm hit, were left to fend for themselves.
"You leave a 17-, 18-year-old who doesn't work, has no resources coming in monetary-wise," the officer said. "What do you think he's going to do? He has to eat. He has to pay lights. How do you think he's going to get it? …
"Mom is thinking he's grown now. He's 18. But think about it. At 18, you're really not grown. You're an adult in the eyes of the law, but you're really not grown."
That generation has come of age away from downtown, getting by any way it can. Having a football game here — even the biggest game on the planet — is not likely to solve those people's problems, not even a little bit.
That doesn't mean that, since 2005, things haven't gotten better here. Quite the contrary.
In New Orleans, this is a time of celebration.
Among them, a streetcar line on Loyola Avenue extends all the way to the
"My description of the city is that 40 percent is actually better than it was before the storm, and 40 percent is getting better," Carville said.
"And 20 percent is struggling."
And that's the real New Orleans. For all the joy, for all the reasons for excitement, for all the reminders of how far most of this city has come, there are many other reminders of how much work remains.
There are still strings of empty homes.
There is still an abandoned
On Read Boulevard, within sight of the hospital construction, there is still an empty movie theater.
The Grand 12 Theatre, it was called, opened less than three years before Hurricane Katrina arrived. It's been reduced to a graffiti artist's playground.
A chain-linked rent-a-fence is kicked in, offering easy access to the parking lot. Its white direction arrows and blue handicap spaces are faded.
Broken glass borders the theater walls.
Inside, broken glass — and much more — cover the gray carpet.
There are old movie theater posters from 2005 — "Four Brothers," "Robots" and "Brothers Grimm." There are old plastic utensils, tucked in a plastic wrap covered in yellowish residue. A child's pink shoe, half the size of a water bottle, sits in the debris, along with a red "Happy Birthday!" popcorn bag
A long, dark alley leads to 12 theaters that probably won't show films again.
This theater is what Cordier calls the real New Orleans. It is Carville's 20 percent.
Outside the theater, a message is painted in white, capital letters on the building's brown wall:
"Save the East."

As I've mentioned on my Tumblelog, my dad's been helping me come up with things for an online enterprise/trading biz to start my own corporation.
My mom and I flew to Guangzhou, China last Thursday (April 22)and we attended the 2nd phase of the Canton Fair. It showcased 100 hectares of booths filled with ceramics, furniture, dining/kitchenwares, gifts, home decorations and consumer goods. Twice a year, this event takes place at Guangzhou and it's China's biggest trade fair of the highest level, of the most complete varieties and of the highest attendance and business turnover
So glad mum and I were grouped with Filipino-Chinese people. They weren't first-timers like us, so they offered us some great advice about purchasing, shipping, etc. They helped us a lot with the language barrier as well. Almost all of the workers at the hotel and around the city couldn't speak any English, so they were our translators.
At the fair they don't sell anything per piece. There are only a couple of stalls willing to hand out samples, but you had to wait until the last day of the fair (28th, and we left on the 27th). The typical thing that happens is that you'd have to purchase at least 2000 pieces of something, or fill up a 20-footer container vehicle before they can ship the items to you. So if you go to these things, you have to be serious about foreign trade.
As an investor/buyer (like myself), you have to go there with tons of name/business cards, and collect all the catalogues/brochures/business cards you can from the booths whose products you're interested in. You can then communicate with those people later on and arrange for samples or orders... At the fair, buyers were all over taking photos with item numbers, and a lot were also listing down items and negotiating with the exhibitors about their purchases already. It was so cool!
Entrepreneurship requires great risk... Out of the 5 businesses you'll put up, only 1-2 of those will prove to be a success, and only 1 will survive in the long run. Obviously, the key is perseverance and determination. Again as with all things, in order to succeed, you have to be FEARLESS.
I spent my younger years in a school focused on business and leadership (we had trade fairs each year and had to make our own products, booths, commercials, brochures, business plans, etc). I think it contributed a bit to me being hesitant about getting into merchandising at such a young age. But I know it's always been in me. You can ask my friends- I used to sell a lot of stuff during grade school! Organizers, cards, photos, stickers- all of which I made myself. I bought my own things from my earnings (I think what I'm most proud of was buying my own mountain bike. LOL). But I think I can run a corporation through the guidance of my dad, and of course, patience and perseverance!
I won't be announcing anything official about it just yet, this thing takes time. I haven't made up my mind about what goods/services to offer. This whole thing has to be fun, and another learning experience of course. Going to the Canton Fair was an amazing experience. Planning to go to the Shanghai World Expo next!

James Sheppard out 3-4 Months
According to the Star Tribune, Minnesota Wild center James Sheppard will be out 3-4 months with a knee injury sustained from an ATV accident in Vail, Colorado. He has already undergone surgery and head coach Todd Richards claimed it happened on James Sheppard's kneecap. After signing a one year contract with the team in the offseason, the road to building a solid reputation in the NHL will have to be even longer. Sheppard was drafted 9th overall in 2006 and has registered 49 points in 224 games.
