The Consciousness of the Atom Ebook
In this book the scientific relation of matter and consciousness is discussed as evolution progressively affects the atomic substance of all forms. The "atom" emerges as a miniature but complete replica of the energy structure common to all forms of life--cosmic, planetary, human and subhuman.
The Destiny of the Nations Ebook
A nation is an evolving spiritual entity, subject, as a human being is, to the impact of energies. These energies influence the national consciousness, encouraging recognition of soul destiny and cooperation with that evolving process.The spiritual destiny of many nations and their predisposing soul and personality influences are discussed in this book.
Discipleship in the New Age Vol I Ebook
These two volumes contain the record of a series of personal and group instructions given to a small group of aspirants over a period of fifteen years by a Master of the Wisdom. They contain detailed teachings on Meditation, Initiation and the Six Stages of Discipleship.

These two volumes contain the record of a series of personal and group instructions given to a small group of aspirants over a period of fifteen years by a Master of the Wisdom. They contain detailed teachings on Meditation, Initiation and the Six Stages of Discipleship. They emphasise the new age, pioneering necessity for group work, the development of group consciousness, and the change in training for initiation from individuals to discipleship groups.
Education in the New Age Ebooks
Education should be a continuous process from birth to death. It is essentially a process leading to reconciliation of the human and divine elements in the constitution of a human being. Right relationship between God and man, spirit and matter, the whole and the part, should be a prime objective of educational techniques.
The Externalisation of the Hierarchy Ebook
This book discusses the interdependence of all states of consciousness and kingdoms in nature within the planet. It shows the interaction between humanity, the Hierarchy and Shamballa, and sets out the essentials of Plan and Purpose which influence human affairs. The process of the externalisation of certain ashrams within the Hierarchy and the practical effects of the process are given in detail.
From Bethlehem to Calvary Ebook
The life experience of the Master Jesus, including the Crucifixion, the Great Renunciation, is reflected in the life experience of all human beings. We can know and consciously cooperate in the journey which leads from the place of spiritual birth to the place of renunciation and resurrection.
From Intellect to Intuition Ebook
The development of the intellect, while necessary, is a means to an end. The intellect should become a means of penetrating into new dimensions of thought and consciousness, and of awakening the intuitive faculty of "pure reason". Through occult meditation the gap is bridged between the threefold mind and the intuition.
Glamour A World Problem Ebook
World glamour--the sumtotal of human ignorance, fear and greed--can dissipate through the clear, inclusive thinking of those in whom the soul (Christ) principle is awakening. Glamour results from a negative emotional focus; the dissipation of glamour depends on "illumined thinking".
Initiation, Human and Solar Ebook
An initiation is an expansion of consciousness, leading to revelation and illumination. Initiation is experienced by all forms of life, great and small. The work of the planetary Hierarchy, in its many stages of Mastership, is outlined in this book, and the Fourteen Rules are given by which the neophyte may become an Applicant at the Portal of Initiation.
Letters on Occult Meditation Ebook
The science of meditation, as a mind-training technique, is increasingly practiced everywhere. Meditation is concerned with energy flow, energy which is impersonal and fiery in nature; its potential dangers should therefore be understood and avoided, and practices adopted which are safe and trustworthy. This book sets out the basic factors, general and specific, showing the overall objective of the science of meditation to be planetary service.
The Light of the Soul Ebook
This volume is an original paraphrase, with commentary, of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The Yoga Sutras are of ancient origin, first reduced to writing by Patanjali, who is considered the founder of the Raja Yoga School. Control of the mind and its illumination by the soul are brought about through the practice of Raja Yoga.
Problems of Humanity Ebook
Six basic world problems--the psychological rehabilitation of the nations, the children, capital and labor minorities, the churches, and international unity--with many ramifications, continue to present humanity with opportunity for progress. A perspective on these problems is shown in this book; the spiritual factors and subjective causes are related to the outer appearances and effects on the world scene.
The Reappearance of the Christ Ebook
Many religions today expect the coming of an Avatar or Saviour. The second coming of the Christ, as the world Teacher for the age of Aquarius, is presented in this book as an imminent event, logical and practical in the continuity of divine revelation throughout the ages. The Christ belongs to all mankind; he can be known and understood as "the same great Identity in all the world religions."
Soul and Its Mechanism Ebook
The soul works through the mechanism of the threefold personality. The method by which the soul and the personality vehicles interact and function together is presented in this volume; and also the way the human constitution, as a whole and in its component parts, responds to the impact of an evolving consciousness.
Telepathy and the Etheric Vehicle Ebooks
The scientific basis for the widely accepted ideal of the "brotherhood of man" rests on the fact of the interwoven etheric--or energy--structure underlying all forms in all kingdoms within the planet. It is this essential oneness which provides the conditions for intercommunication on all levels of consciousness, and creates the possibility of simultaneous impression in many by a stream of Plan-inspired energy.
A Treatise on Cosmic Fire Ebook
This volume deals with the underlying structure of occult teaching for the present era and with those vast cosmic processes reproduced through all areas of life from universe to atom. A large section of the book is directed to a detailed exposition of Solar Fire, the Fire of Mind, since this is the dominant energy to be understood and controlled during this second solar system. Among other values, the book provides a compact outline of a scheme of cosmology, philosophy and psychology which serves as a basic reference and text book.
Esoteric Psychology Vol I Ebook
Five volumes have been written under the overall title of A Treatise on the Seven Rays, based on the fact, the nature, the quality and the interrelationship of the seven streams of energy pervading our solar system, our planet and all that lives and moves within its orbit. These two volumes go extensively into the psychological make-up of a human being as the life, quality and appearance of an incarnating, evolving spiritual entity. They also relate the circumstance of a human psychology to world conditions and to future possibilities.
Esoteric Psychology Vol II Ebook
Five volumes have been written under the overall title of A Treatise on the Seven Rays, based on the fact, the nature, the quality and the interrelationship of the seven streams of energy pervading our solar system, our planet and all that lives and moves within its orbit. These two volumes go extensively into the psychological make-up of a human being as the life, quality and appearance of an incarnating, evolving spiritual entity. They also relate the circumstance of a human psychology to world conditions and to future possibilities.
Esoteric Astrology Ebook
The science of esoteric astrology is said to be the basic occult science of the future. Astrology is described in this book as "the science of relationships", a science which deals with those conditioning energies and forces which play through and upon the whole field of space and all that is found within it.
Esoteric Healing Ebook
Healing is an exact and an exacting science. Esoteric healing is equally scientific, based on a number of requirements, including knowledge of the constitution of man as a spiritual being and of the biology and anatomy of his physical form. In this book the seven ray techniques of healing are described; the laws and rules of healing are discussed; basic causes of disease are shown; and requirements for healing are given in detail.
The Rays and The Initiations Ebook
The first part of this volume contains the Fourteen Rules for Group Initiation, an extension of the teachings given in Initiation, Human and Solar on the Fourteen Rules for Applicants. The second part of the book is concerned with the nine initiations by which the disciple progressively liberates himself from the various forms of our planetary life. The possibility of group initiation is a development of the present era; this volume emphasises the growth of the group idea--group service, group responsibility, group initiation and group absorption into the centre Hierarchy.
A Treatise on White Magic
This book contains the Fifteen Rules for Magic (for soul control)--the soul, the white Magician, becoming manifest through its own inherent "magical" powers. The human being is essentially and inherently divine. The soul is the means whereby mankind evolves a consciousness of divinity, redeems gross matter and liberates the pure flame of spirit from the limitation of form.
The Unfinished Autobiography Ebook
Although her death in December 1949 prevented the completion of this book, enough of the author's life story emerges to show the stages in her journey from Christian evangelism to mastery of the science of esotericism, and her work as an author, lecturer and teacher.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. When the dough is consistent begin rolling dough balls about the size of a ping pong ball. Using a tortilla press that is lined in a thick plastic, press out the dough. You use the plastic (it can be a ziploc bag that has been cut) so that the dough does not stick to the tortilla press. Meanwhile have a deep pot filled with cooking oil approximately 2 inches high and heated to 250 degrees. Drop the flat tortilla in the hot oil and using a metal spatula repeatedly douse with the oil. You will see that it will begin to puff up. Flip it over and using the spatula make an indention in the middle of the tortilla to forma taco shape. Remove from oil and allow to drain. Fill with ground meat, shredded chicken, guacamole, bean and cheese or your favorite filling. Top with shredded lettuce and diced tomato.
Caution; Be very careful when making these. Make sure there is proper ventilation and do not allow the oil to get too hot. Also, if you can't get your hands on a tortilla press then use a clean counter. You will still need the plastic so that the dough does not stick to the counter. Place your dough ball on the plastic and cover with more plastic and then using something heavy to press it out.

Samsung has released the F4EG which it claims is the world's highest-density, environmentally friendly hard disk drive (HDD) for the desktop market.
The EcoGreen F4 features a 2-terabyte capacity with 667GB on each of its three disks. It can store 880 hours of DVD video or 500,000 songs in MP3 format. Of course it did not mention what the compression was on the DVDs and MP3s but we guess it just means " a lot".
According to Samsung the internal F4EG uses Samsung's high-density design technology to provide better performance, low power and improved reliability. It has a low-power drive yet features top performance quality and is environmentally friendly. We are not sure how a hard-drive gets out in the environment much, but we have to admire its desire to save the planet.
Samsung's very chilly IC Park, who is the vice president, Storage Sales, said that with its three disks and advanced technology, the F4EG drive was 19 percent better in standby time performance and had 23 percent lower power consumption in standby mode than the previous four-disk model, the F3EG.
The new model is produced with eco-friendly materials and meets all the environmental regulations including RoHS (Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment) which is applied worldwide, including the European Union.
The F4EG uses a 3.0Gbps SATA interface, Native Command Queuing and a 32MB buffer memory. The 3.5" F4EG drive is available in 1.5TB and 2TB capacities in the United States and EU markets with a price of $119.99. Initial shipment is scheduled for early September.

Portal 2 Aperture Laboratories Shower Curtain
Salt. Asbestos. Curtain.
- Get squeaky clean with Science
- White vinyl shower curtain with Aperture logo
- Most likely not radioactive (we think)
The curtain has so many uses in the home. We like to pride ourselves on our shower curtain for the modern bathroom. It's fast, too -- the whole business takes less than a minute. See it demonstrated at your local Woolworth Store!
Before Aperture Science became a worldwide leader in Science, they were a worldwide leader in shower curtains. In fact, the majority of Cave Johnson's wealth was amassed thanks to contracts with the U.S. military to provide shower curtains to military bases (except the Navy). In fact, it was the Navy that was the purported downfall of Cave Johnson. Rumor has it, Cave was exposed to high levels of mercury while developing deadly shower curtains for the House Naval Appropriations committee.
This shower curtain, while emblazoned with the Aperture Science logo, probably doesn't contain mercury or radiation. Not if you're in the control group at least. (Pssst, you're in the control group.)
Product Specifications
- Officially licensed and approved by Valve!
- Get squeaky clean behind this Aperture Labs shower curtain
- White vinyl(EVA) shower curtain with black Aperture Labs logo
- Features the aperture logo and text letting you know that it "Contains less than 1% mercury"
- Most likely not radioactive (but wear your lead underwear anyway)
- Officially licensed Portal collectible
- Dimensions: 6' x 6'

I'm happy to share with you that the good people at S. Pellegrino have offered a $150 gift certificate for Food With Legs readers to win. The gift certificate is for Chef Mark McEwan's Fabbrica restaurant in the Shops at Don Mills. Contest details are below.
It's a fairly open secret around these part that I was once a very picky eater. So much so that maybe ten years ago when I had my first veal parmigiana sandwich from Mustachio's at St. Lawrence Market I felt like I was pushing my limits. I figured that if I was going to go as far as a sandwich in the basement of a market I might as well go further and add an Aranciata (orange-flavoured) San Pellegrino. My taste in food has progressed well beyond Mustachio's but I still think of San Pellegrino as adding an authentic sophistication to casual Italian food.
Comment below with your first or favourite San Pellegrino restaurant memory by Friday, February 4, 2011 at 5 PM eastern. The winner will be randomly selected from comments made before the deadline. Please leave your email in the appropriate field so that I can get in touch with you if you win but these will not be shared publicly. One entry per person.
Update: Using the random number generator at random.org I determined that the winner of the $150 gift certificate to Mark McEwan's Fabbrica was entry 25 of 27. Colleen C.'s comment was one of the more romantic ones:
Having San Pellegrino at a street side restaurant during our honeymoon in Rome was absolutely sublime. We stock it at our house, just to take us back to Rome!
Congratulations, Colleen, and thanks everyone for entering.

In the series of posts titled "Sweet Relief," I will be providing information on easy to make house-made syrups and cordials. Two original craft cocktails of mine will be provided using said syrup or cordial. I would really love participation along with this series. I encourage you to make these sweeteners at home or bar and try them in any recipe you see fit. Send me any recipe you like using my syrup or cordial…I would love to try them! Today I present…
Coffee Syrup
As far as any syrup or cordial I have made to date, this one is by far my favorite. A lot of people have asked how I make it…so instead of stating this syrup is intellectual property of Chad Doll, ass-bag bartender, I will happily share.
Every single night before I go to bed, I fantasize about my morning coffee ritual. It consists of coffee, the newspaper crosswords and the first smoke of the day. The thought of this 15 minutes of bliss I have every morning of my life, brings a wiggle to my hips that I am unable to describe…I call it my happy dance. A quick side note to any virgins or sexually challenged men/women who may be reading this blog…"Would you like to grab a cup of coffee?" is the equivalent to "Do you find me attractive enough to have sex with?" Im pretty sure this is legally binding, but dont quote me on it.
Lets move on to the syrup.
4 barspoons of freshly ground French Dark Roast Coffee
2 Tablespoons roasted cocoa nibs
3 Tahitian vanilla beans
2.5 cups hot water
5 cups demerara sugar
-De-seed the tahitian vanilla beans. To do this, you will need a flat service and a sharp knife. Lay the vanilla bean flat and run the sharp edge of your knife from tip to tip on the bean. This will expose the gooey innards. You will need to scoop out all that lovely gooeyness and place it inside your handy french press. Discard the shells.
-Place the coffee and nibs inside the french press with your vanilla.
-Heat your water to just below boiling temperature and pour into french press with the other ingredients.
-Cover and allow to steep for 30 minutes.
-After 30 minutes, press down firmly on the french press to extract all those wonderful flavors.
-Pour infusion into a large, non-reactive container along with sugar. Stir or shake until sugar is completely dissolved.
-Bottle and cool before use.
Both of my cocktails are riffs off of two wonderful classic drinks…The Bourbon Old Fashioned and The 20th Century Cocktail. I hope you enjoy.

the singapore thing was ok with my bank, i deposited no problems. i think the note means u cannot 'cash' the check only deposit it.
I am still waiting for my 1900, i think we are on businessd day 20+.....they tell me same as above, no word on when but you will.........
Looks like my check cleared fine.
I had originally requested a wire and waited 20 days, then the funds were returned to my account because they claimed the bank would not take it.
Then requested a check and waited another 25 days before I got that. Had to repeatedly contact them via live chat to ask for updates. Seemed to finally do the trick.
cane, yes 72 hours. I believe it was on like 3/13 it processed.......i find it amazing that they can take the funds using paypal WITHIN seconds but claim all these issues paying out. What would be so difficult to payout using same method?

I already featured the custom work of Walt Siegl, always a very labor intensive and very high end job on Ducatis. As all custom builders know, many are going to drool on high end bespoke motorcycles, but very few will be able to afford them. Staying in business and making a living from your passion almost always requires a more moderate approach, the one consisting in producing 2-wheel art at reduced cost without removing the dream factor and affecting the motorcycle reliability. Hence the Siegl's Leggero Ducati Series for with each client encouraged to personalize their order during the building process.
Walt Siegl is a long time V-Twin road racer and logically likes to emphasize the sport/racing attributes of each one of his Ducati projects, skillfully mixing old and new, classic and modern styling, paying tribute to the past but still offering a bespoke machine supposed to ride…like a Ducati. The Leggero Series is based on the 2-valve Ducati 900 cc engine using a 39 mm Keihin carburetor and rebuilt with the help of Eric Kobalth at Clubhouse Motorsports and wired with a modern electronic harness conceived by Alex Vogel.
The frame is largely inspired by the racing Verliccis ones, built from 4130 chrome molysteel tubing, weighting only 19 lbs as the original TT1 & TT2 frames. Bodywork, tank and tail end are carbon fiber from prototypes made by Siegl and produced by Matt Tanner of Tannermatic. Rear suspension is via Öhlins shocks, front via Showa forks. The stainless steel exhaust is a tribute to the Conti system. Most of the other custom parts were designed using the very reputable 3D CAD Design Software Soliworks that let you create and simulate, ensuring that all parts fit together. mechanically and aesthetically.. .

Legalized Marijuana in Jeopardy with Mattiello as Speaker
Wednesday, March 26, 2014
"Mattiello did not sign it, though I invited him to sign it before I put it in," Ajello said.
"Nevertheless, he was not an early supporter of marriage equality and he came to his senses on that … or we came to a common way of thinking. I shouldn't say 'he came to his senses.'"
Ajello said Mattiello could be persuaded to consider legalizing marijuana for its revenue benefits and job creation – Mattiello has been clear that his most important issues are jobs and the economy. However, she was quick to point out that legalizing and regulating marijuana is important to her for social and safety reasons first.
"I have not discussed that [economic benefits] with him, but it is certainly an issue I would raise. I want to be clear: The revenue is not my first reason for supporting this. My first reason is to get something that is so commonly used, evidently, out of the underground. To end the prohibition because it has not worked."
Using Colorado's example
Local interest in legalized marijuana was propelled recently by reports of Colorado's multi-million dollar revenue from recreational marijuana sales. Rhode Island's proposed bill would make Governor Lincoln Chafee the first governor in America to legalize marijuana without putting the decision to the voters. After attending a meeting of the National Governors Association in Washington, D.C., Chafee discussed the possibility of "pot for potholes" – using marijuana sales revenue for infrastructure improvement – by passing a bill approved by state lawmakers.
If there's a selling point for Mattiello to get behind this bill, experts say it's the revenue.
"The Speaker change may have big impact on the proposed marijuana bill. Mattiello has indicated he wants to focus more on economic than social issues so marijuana may not be on the fast track. He may prefer to move legislation that more directly links to business development. The only exception to this would be if the new Speaker sees the revenues that would come in through legalization as a way to fund economic development activities," said Darrel West of the Brookings Institution.
"He likely would assess this bill strictly from an economic standpoint. If it is something he believes would create jobs and boost state revenues, he might go for it. But if it doesn't boost the economy, he probably wouldn't have much interest in it."
The debate isn't purely financial. Like casinos, legalized marijuana comes with a stigma.
"Although some believe the passage of the bill could generate substantial revenue for the state and will definitely reduce the incarceration rate of those caught with the drug, many community leaders still feel the social issues surrounding the use and availability of marijuana are not worth any dollars generated in taxes," said Dr. Edward M. Mazze, Distinguished University Professor of Business Administration at The University of Rhode Island.
"With the change in leadership in the House, and the selection of Mattiello as leader, the proposed legislation to legalize marijuana will slow down because there is a growing opposition to the bill due to the many legal and social questions still unanswered."
Legalization is likely, eventually
Mazze believes Rhode Island will eventually legalize marijuana. Other states may do it first, but the train is on the tracks. For better or worse, according to Mazze.
"The legalization of marijuana in Rhode Island will become a done deal. Like many other social issues, it will be difficult going up Smith Hill backwards when other states have made this decision or are getting ready to do it. The new leadership needs to move away from social issues and focus on job creation, economic development, bringing ethics back to government and getting rid of the stumbling blocks that make doing business in Rhode Island a nightmare."
Gary Sasse, director of the Bryant Institute for Public Leadership and GoLocalProv MINDSETTER™, is known to many in Rhode Island as an economy expert. His opinions on legalizing marijuana are passionate, however, and dire. He has called the movement shortsighted and irresponsible.
"I believe that a consensus has emerged that the state should take a wait and see approach.
I do not know what the new Speaker's position is on legalization, but I do not think it has much chance of passing this session regardless of who sits in the Speaker's chair," Sasse said.
"If the Speaker appoints a new Judiciary Committee this could also affect the chances of the bill being seriously debated."
If it's true that Mattiello's new role will slow down the momentum for legalized marijuana, proponents outside of the State House may have to formulate a new plan. Their message, however, remains the same.
"Our take on it is leadership may change but the fact is that a clear majority of Rhode Islanders support ending marijuana prohibition. They support a more controlled system to make our communities safer, to bring in a lot of jobs and economic activity for the state," said Jared Moffat, Director of Regulate Rhode Island.
Regulate Rhode Island is a coalition of citizens who believe that marijuana prohibition wastes public resources, discriminates against communities of color, and undermines public health and safety.
"Mattiello said his priority would be jobs and the economy. Rhode Islanders are ready for this. If he wants to create jobs this is a sensible way to do that."
Any state with plans to legalize marijuana will draw national attention. In Rhode Island's case, there's a hometown element to that national attention. Tom Angell, chairman of the pro-legalization group Marijuana Majority, is a Rhode Island native. He graduated from URI in 2004.
"I checked with some connected lobbyists in Providence and the general consensus seems to be that it's just too early to tell how the leadership change will affect the prospects for marijuana legalization legislation," he said.
"I can't reveal my lobbyist sources. That said, I can tell you that I remain optimistic that Rhode Island is likely to be the first state to legalize marijuana through the legislative process as opposed to via ballot initiative. The legalization proposal enjoys broad bipartisan support from the membership in the General Assembly and I don't expect a change in leadership to change that fact."

Next iPad May Be Quick and Dainty
Feb 14, 2012 3:46 PM PT
Rumors are flying that the iPad 3 will debut on March 7. It will be 4G ready, and it will be available through Verizon and AT&T. The new Apple tablet will be called the "iPad 3," The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. Rumors also suggest that Apple is testing a smaller, 8-inch iPad to compete with Amazon's 7-inch Kindle Fire. The smaller iPad would also come at a lower price than Apple's standard 10-inch model.
The iPad 3 is rumored to have 2048-by-1536-pixel Retina display, a quad-core A6 processor and 4G LTE networking. The system-on-a-chip A6 would double the power of the iPad 2's A5 dual-core processor.
Faster iPad
A 4G iPad could make a big difference in performance. Add the A6 quad-core processor and the device turns into a speedboat.
"Both AT&T's and Verizon's LTE networks have shown that they are capable of some very high data speeds -- speeds of 20 Mbps to 40 Mbps are not that unusual," Allen Nogee, principal analyst for wireless technology at In-Stat, told MacNewsWorld. "These speeds are more than adequate for an iPad, a device that runs quite well on a 2- 4 Mbps WiFi home network. An iPad will run fine on LTE."
However, the iPad's move to the LTE network may not come without bumps, said Nogee. If nothing else, the 4G networks still lack full nationwide coverage.
"The bigger question, should this rumor be true, is how will all these new LTE devices affect the wireless operators, and will we see problems similar to when a new iPhone is released?" Nogee wondered.
Verizon, AT&T and MetroPCS are the only carriers that currently deliver LTE, but only Verizon and AT&T have high-speed LTE networks, and neither offers 4G coverage in all U.S. cities yet.
"MetroPCS is currently using a narrow-channel LTE system that doesn't offer the high speeds of Verizon or AT&T," said Nogee. Since AT&T and Verizon already offer the iPhone, it makes sense that they would offer any new iPad.
Sprint's LTE network is in its very early stages, he noted.
Better iCloud Fit
Another reason 4G would make sense for the iPad 3 is the compatibility it offers for those using the iCloud. At 3G speeds, the iCloud is stormy weather.
"I think the 4G is the most important part of the iPad 3 launch," Zeus Kerravala, principal analyst with ZK Research, told MacNewsWorld. "With 3G speeds, using iCloud may not give you the best experience."
Should the iPad Be Smaller?
Rumors of an 8-inch iPad are nothing new. A smaller form factor would help Apple counter Amazon's popular Kindle Fire, and that may be the biggest reason it's likely to turn up now.
"However, even without the Fire, Apple would have done this eventually," said Kerravala.
When it comes to tech, one size definitely does not fit all, he noted. "The 8-inch form factor fits into suits and women's bags. It can be an easier-to-carry business device."
There may also be economic reasons to support an 8-inch iPad. "A smaller form-factor would be less expensive," Nogee pointed out, "and easier for wireless operators to subsidize."

thx bmc, just listening now - niceness.
used to have that hot lp and liked the tune How Fe Cross River Jordan - cant remember the riddim tho, anyone know it?
Moderator: B&F Moderator
I don't know that 12", jb, but if it is the one quadruped mentions it likely is Carlos' Spread Out (which contains that line in the lyrics, Rock Dis Ya Music). Doubt Purpleman has two different takes on that riddim, so my guess would be it's the Spread Out / Boom It Up combo. Maybe quadruped can confirm later?

The Western branch of "the oldest organized Christian Church in the world" is suing the J. Paul Getty Museum in L.A., demanding the return of 7 pages from a "magical" 750-year-old bible that was allegedly stolen during the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1918.
In documents filed yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court, the Western Prelacy of the Armenian Apostolic Church of America claims The Getty "acted in complete disregard" for the Church's rights in 1994 when it bought "stolen" pages of the Zeyt'un Gospels Bible.
The Church claims the Zeyt'un Bible was created for Constantine I by "the master illuminator T'oros Roslin" in 1256, and is one of Armenia's most valued national treasures. The Church believes the book "wielded supernatural powers."
When the Turks invaded Armenia in 1915, the suit claims, descendants of a royal Armenian family fled with the Bible, with whom it was thought to be safe. Yet, when the Bible was returned to Armenia following WWII, 7 key pages were missing ... pages that turned up at The Getty.
The Church claims it learned the Getty Museum had the pages in 2007, but the Getty has refused to return it. Now, the Church is asking the court to order the pages returned, and for damages of $35 million.

Cleveland Man Sentenced To 12 Years In Prison For Leading Ring That Obtained Blank Prescriptions, Forged Them And Sold The Painkillers
A Cleveland man was sentenced to 12 years in prison for leading a ring that obtained blank prescription pads that were used to fraudulently obtain thousands of prescription painkiller pills, law enforcement officials announced today.
Louis Eppinger, 53, led a conspiracy that forged prescriptions for Oxycontin and Percocet pills, hired people to have them filled at pharmacies throughout the region, then sold the pills on the street, according to court documents. He previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute Oxycodone, health care fraud and aggravated identity theft.
"We have seen a huge increase in prescription drug abuse in Ohio, and this case demonstrates the lengths people will go to defraud and profit from pills," said Steven M. Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio. "Instead of dealers shipping in drugs from South America, we now have people forging prescriptions."
"The abuse of illicitly obtained prescription drugs is reaching epidemic proportions, surpassing that of marijuana, cocaine and heroin combined," said Stephen Anthony, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Cleveland office. "Dismantling illicit drug diversion networks such as the organization charged in this investigation will remain a top FBI priority."
Besides Eppinger, six other people have pleaded guilty to related crimes. They are: Patricia Arnold, age 61, of Cleveland; Anthony H. Perry, age 42, of East Cleveland; Elizabeth A. Davis, age 40, of East Cleveland; James Byrge, age 62, of Cleveland; Judy Burrows, age 25, of Cleveland, and Brittany N. Glass, age 22, of Cleveland.
Between 2011 and 2012, Eppinger, Arnold, Glass, Perry, Davis, Burrows and Byrge engaged in a conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute oxycodone, according to court documents.
Eppinger obtained blank prescription paper from an unknown source and DEA numbers of various physicians located in Northern Ohio for the purposes of passing fraudulent prescriptions for Oxycontin and/or Percocet, both of which contain oxycodone, according to court documents.
Eppinger provided the blank prescription paper to Arnold, who forged the prescriptions. Eppinger then provided the fraudulent prescriptions to Glass, Perry and Davis, who served as "walkers" and attempted to pass the prescriptions at pharmacies in Northeast Ohio, including several in Cleveland as well as locations in Shaker Heights, Willoughby and Garfield Heights, according to court documents.
Glass, Perry and Davis then gave the pills to Eppinger, who paid them for passing the fraudulent prescriptions. Eppinger then sold the pills or provided them on consignment to Burrows, Burge and others, according to court documents.
Eppinger pleaded guilty to health care fraud for defrauding the Ohio Medicaid program by billing more $21,098 for prescription painkillers to which he was not entitled, according to the indictment. He was ordered to repay that amount in restitution.
Eppinger also used the identities of two people in relation to a felony, resulting the in the aggravated identity theft convictions.
The case is being handled by Assistant United States Attorneys Michael L. Collyer and Michelle M. Baeppler following investigation by the FBI's Cleveland office, with assistance from the Cleveland Police Department, West Shore Enforcement Bureau, Ohio High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area and Ohio Attorney General's Office.

Felice Romani
Musical preparation: David Švec
Stage director: Simone Sandroni
Sets: Lenka Flory
Costumes: Lenka Flory
Chorus master: Martin Buchta
Dramaturgy: Beno Blachut
National Theatre Orchestra
National Theatre Chorus
Ballet of the National Theatre Opera
Premiere: December 15, 2010
L'elisir d'amore (The Elixir of Love) is one of the most popular Donizetti operas and comic operas there is. The librettist Felice Romani made use of Eugene Scribe's libretto to Daniel Auber's opera Le philtre (1831) and the action is a comic paraphrase of the legend of Tristan and Isolde, which the heroine of Donizetti's opera, the beautiful and wealthy Adina, reads to her friend. The bashful young peasant Nemorino is in love with Adina yet his feelings are unrequited. The situation is further compounded by the arrival of a group of soldiers commanded by Sergeant Belcore, who begins to woo Adina. A travelling "snake-oil" salesman appears and offers a wonder potion that is able to arouse affection in every woman.
Nemorino duly buys it and gulps it down, yet the bottle only contains wine. Nemorino becomes inebriated and musters up the courage to address Adina. She, however, out of defiance announces her decision to marry Belcore. So as to win Adina, Nemorino wants to buy another bottle of the "elixir" but he does not have any more money. He therefore enlists in the army and purchases another potion from his soldier's pay. Meanwhile, the news has spread in the village that Nemorino has inherited a large fortune from his deceased uncle and he becomes the centre of attention of all the local maidens. Adina starts to get jealous and when she learns that Nemorino has enlisted because of her she declares her love for him. The jocose comedy abounds in splendid arias, with the most celebrated of them, Nemorino's "Una furtiva lagrima", being part of the repertoire of all world-acclaimed tenors. The opera affords rewarding dramatic and vocal opportunities for the performers and is a highly attractive title for audiences.
Choir and Orchestra of the National Theatre Opera.
The opera is staged in Italian original version and Czech and English surtitles are used in the performance.

Duration of the performance: 2 hours and 15 minutes, 1 intermission

Not guilty plea in Bottle Shop robbery
STAMFORD -- A second person arrested in connection with the New Year's Eve robbery attempt at the Hope Bottle Shop pleaded not guilty to charges at a hearing at state Superior Court in Stamford Tuesday.
Tattoo artist Jeremy "J Rock" Robinson, 21, of 2900 Main St., Bridgeport, was arrested March 7 on charges of conspiracy to commit armed robbery and attempt to commit armed robbery. He has been held on $25,000 bond.
On Feb. 4, police arrested Richard Graham, 17, of 33 Leeds St., Stamford, and charged him with three counts of first-degree reckless endangerment, along with single counts of illegal discharge of a firearm, armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery and carrying a dangerous weapon. He has been held on $100,000 bond.
The robbery, moments before the shop was to close on New Year's Eve, was unsuccessful because the shop owner thought it was only a gag.
Two weeks after the incident, in which two burst through the door of the store at 8:55 p.m. and fired a shot while demanding money, sources told police Graham and Robinson were responsible, according to arrest warrant affidavits. One said Robinson promised Graham a tattoo if he helped him rob the store, the affidavit said.
In early February, when police first talked to Graham, he gave investigators an alibi that was quickly discredited and told them he wanted a lawyer, the affidavit said; a few hours later, a man who identified himself as Graham's mentor, told police Graham wanted to confess to the robbery.
Graham, who admitted to having a fresh tattoo given to him by Robinson, told police that when he entered the store with Robinson, he fired a shot to scare everyone and then shot twice more, the affidavit said.
But after the owner refused to take the two seriously, and an employee tossed a pack of bottled beer that exploded at their feet, Graham said they fled empty-handed.
When police spoke with Robinson, he said he was at a New Haven night club that night and spent the rest of the night with his girlfriend. The girlfriend said he was "running errands" in her car that night and gave her a ride to work about 90 minutes after the robbery attempt. She said Robinson did not spend the night, the affidavit said.
Robinson's special public defender, David Marantz, who was assigned the case just before the hearing Tuesday, declined comment because he has not had time to review it.
In 2011, Robinson was convicted of carrying a pistol without a permit and possession of a firearm by a felon, and sentenced to two years in prison.


text: "When I was a boy, I amused myself one day with flying a paper kite, and approaching the bank of a pond which was near a mile broad, I tied the string to a stake, and the kite ascended to a very considerable height above the pond while I was swimming. In a little time being desirous of amusing myself with my kite and enjoying at the same time the pleasure of swimming, I returned; and, loosing from the stake the string with the little stick which was fastened to it, went again into the water where I found that, lying on my back and holding the stick in my hands, I was drawn along the surface of the water in a very agreeable manner. Having then engaged another boy to carry my clothes round the pond, to a place which I pointed out to him on the other side, I began to cross the pond with my kite, which carried me quite over without the least fatigue, and with the greatest pleasure imaginable. I was only obliged occasionally to halt a little in my course, and resist its progress, when it appeared that by following too quick, I lowered the kite too much; by doing which I occasionally made it rise again."

The S&P 500 has achieved a fresh intraday record, topping its prior all-time intraday high of 1,897.28 hit on April 4.
The benchmark has traded as high as 1,899.97 today, according to FactSet data, and it's currently just below that level.

And now the S&P 500 has even topped the 1900 level, a big round number.
Levels like 1900 often can be important psychologically for investors, and therefore provide resistance, according to technical analysts.
So those chart watchers surely will watch carefully today to see if the benchmark can finish above 1900.

American consumers barely increased spending at retail stores in April, with sales up just 0.1% vs. forecasts for 0.4%, writes MarketWatch's Jeff Bartash.
But looking past the headline number, some other details in the report aren't that terrible.
That might help explain why we're seeing decent gains for stocks at this moment, even though the headline number missed views.
Some of the positives in the report: Sales in March were revised up to 1.5% from 1.1%, marking the biggest gain in four years. February sales were also slightly higher than originally reported.

Stocks continue to show mostly modest gains after a report on business inventories that came out a few minutes ago.
The report (not a top-tier data point) showed a 0.4% gain in March, slightly below expectations for 0.5%.
At last check:
S&P 500 +0.1% to 1899 — just below 1900 after topping that level

Katie Stockton, BTIG's chief technical strategist, sounds bullish in emailed comments sent out this morning.
Looking at futures for the S&P 500, she writes:
"The S&P futures broke out from their intraday trading range yesterday to a new all-time high. The breakout is a bullish short-term development that is supported by improved momentum. We expect positive follow-through today as investors gain more confidence in a turnaround in the stocks that exhibited downside leadership in recent weeks. Breakouts are abundant overseas, which sets a good example for the U.S."

"Retail sales data were soft, but still pointed to modest signs of improvement in the economy," said Terry Sandven, chief equity strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management.
Sandven, who had written about U.S. equities in a slow growth environment, said that recent rallies in cyclical stocks might signal bottoming or near bottoming of the rotation into defensive stocks.
"We expect cyclicals to outperform from here on and broader markets are likely to move sideways with an upward balance," he added.

Stocks have pared the gains. Closing above 1,900 for the S&P 500 now seems less plausible.
S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX +2 points
Dow /quotes/zigman/627449/realtime DJIA +18 points

Stocks are trading in a narrow range and amid low volumes, but closing at these levels would mean new records.
On the S&P 500, health care and industrials sectors are leading modest gains. Telecoms and consumer discretionary sector stocks are lagging.

- Capital Economics: Dwindling fuel from the Fed will hamper further progress
- by Anora Mahmudova
- Add a Comment
From the Capital Economics daily note to clients:
The S&P 500 broke through our end-2015 forecast of 1,900 on Tuesday, setting a new record in the process. We will be reviewing our forecast in the coming days. But our overarching view is unlikely to change, namely that dwindling fuel from the Fed will hamper further progress. Admittedly, the central bank is still growing its balance sheet for now. But we expect it to complete its asset purchases later this year, bringing to an end the expansion of its balance sheet.
The historical evidence also suggests that the stock market will struggle to make strong gains after the Fed begins to raise rates. There have been seven major tightening cycles in the US since 1970 and the average increase in the S&P 500 in the six months after the Fed's first rate hike was only about 5%.

- About the retail sales
- by Anora Mahmudova
- Add a Comment
U.S. retail sales hardly budged in April and fell short of Wall Street's forecast. A bad omen for the U.S. economy? Probably not, writes Jeffry Bartash.
Let's recount. Retail sales, a good barometer of the economy's health, rose just one-tenth of 1 percent in April. That was well below the 0.4% forecast of economists polled by MarketWatch.
The more bullish view points out that the slowdown in spending in April follows a 1.5% spike in retail purchases in March, which was the biggest gain in four years. Consumers spent a lot more in March after the weather warmed up and they were due to take a breather in April, economists predicted.
Combine the sales of the past two months, they say, and retail spending looks fairly healthy.

The Dow industrials were up 14 points, or 0.1%, at 16,709, following Monday's closing high of 16,695.47. A new closing high would make it the fourth of the year.
The S&P 500 was up 0.6 points, or less than 0.1%, at 1,897, following Monday's closing high of 1,896.65. A new closing high would make it the 10th of the year.

The next bear market is up to the yield curve.
LPL Financial's Jeff Kleintop notes the difference between long-term and short-term Treasury yields is the most reliable predictor of bear markets, blogs MarketWatch's Ben Eisen.
Kleintop says:
The peak in the stock market comes around the time of the yield curve inversion, ahead of the recession and accompanying downturn in corporate profits.
The good news about that is that short-term yields have yet to climb higher than long-term rates, or invert.

- Liz Ann Sonder on internal rotation
- by Anora Mahmudova
- Add a Comment
From a research note: Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
This shift toward value has been powerful and reflects the significant rotational correction that's been underway for a couple of months. So far it hasn't infected the broader market, as witnessed by the S&P 500 still near all-time highs, but the NASDAQ and Russell 2000 having more difficulty. We don't think the environment will change in the near-term.
But the move toward value can also be seen as a possible positive sign for the economy. Often in history, a move toward value is a signal that the economy is set to turn higher. To some this may seem counter-intuitive. But the rationale is that in a lower economic growth phase (like we were in recently), growth sells at a premium because it's in short-supply. But as prospects for economic growth accelerate, investors turn their attention toward value and/or growth-at-a-more-reasonable-price.

It's catfish time across the state
May 23, 2013
Frankfort, KY. - When water temperatures warm into the 70s, it's catfish time across Kentucky.
"Late May and June is the prime time for catching catfish from reservoirs, small lakes, rivers and farm ponds," said Gerry Buynak, assistant director of fisheries at the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "The spawn is underway and with the onset of warmer weather, catfish settle into daily patterns. They begin to feed aggressively at dawn and dusk and throughout the night."
The top three catfish species sought by anglers in Kentucky include the channel catfish, the blue catfish and the flathead catfish:
The channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) is the most widely distributed catfish species in Kentucky. It thrives in ponds and small lakes. It has a bluish-silver back, white belly and silvery sides with small, irregular dark spots. Adults are commonly 12 to 20 inches long.
"Each year almost 200,000 channel catfish are stocked in Kentucky waters," said Buynak. "At the end of May, we'll be putting channel catfish in 27 of our FINs (Fishing in Neighborhoods) lakes."
To catch channel catfish, an angler must fish on the bottom. That's because channel catfish are scavengers, using their super-sensitive whiskers to detect the odors of food on the bottom.
Use the basic slip sinker rig - a No. 2 hook, leader, barrel swivel and egg sinker - for bottom fishing. Night crawlers, shrimp, chicken liver or scented dough are excellent channel catfish baits.
The blue catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) thrives in big rivers such as the lower Ohio and Mississippi rivers, as well as their major tributaries. Blue catfish are also found in Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake. In the last decade blue catfish have been successfully established in several small lakes and four major reservoirs -- Taylorsville Lake, Barren River Lake, Dewey Lake and Fishtrap Lake.
The blue catfish is similar in appearance to the channel catfish. The most obvious difference is that the blue catfish has a straight anal fin. The blue catfish is bluish-gray with silvery sides and a white belly. The tail is deeply forked.
To target blue catfish in small lakes, use a bobber to keep the bait suspended about 6-8 feet below the surface. The best bait for blue catfish is cut bait, such as the viscera and gills of gizzard shad, chunks of bluegill, or pieces of minnow.
The flathead catfish (Pylodictis olivaris) is primarily found in large rivers and reservoirs.
It is brown to reddish-brown to yellowish with dark blotches on the top and sides, with a yellowish to white belly. It has a wide, flat head, a triangular-shaped tail and a protruding lower jaw.
Flatheads commonly reach 36 inches and can live for 20 years. Adults are solitary and inhabit deep, sluggish pools during the day. They move into rocky shallows at night, often locating around cover. They eat live fish such as creek chubs, shiners, shad and sunfish.
Anglers should use a slip sinker rig with a small foam float attached to the leader. Hook the baitfish through the tail to keep it from snagging on the bottom.
Catfish in Kentucky are big, abundant and found throughout the state. Now is time to start fishing for them.

If you've been reading the Local this week, you have come across work by this summer's high school interns: Germantown Friends School's Katharine Cusick and Springside Chestnut Hill Academy's Lauren Witonsky. Both Chestnut Hill residents were selected as the Anna Fisher Clark Memorial Interns.
Anna Fisher Clark, for whom the internship is named, was active in politics and community affairs. Her community activities included serving as volunteer director of Bird In Hand, the consignment shop that benefits physical improvements in Chestnut Hill. The internship is given by Mrs. Clark's husband, Dr. Thomas Clark, M.D., and her children. Money for the internship is part of the Chestnut Hill Community Fund.
Both girls have worked four to five hours a day, every day. In addition to writing regular stories for the paper and its website, they teamed up to research strategies and content for an upcoming Local readership survey and study.
Cusick, who will turn 18 in October during her senior year at GFS, will be captain of both her lacrosse and field hockey teams in addition to serving as editor of the school's student newspaper "The Earthquake." She is also a member of GFS' choir and a capella group.
Though she's interested in studying cognitive science and astronomy in college, she said a real interest in writing inspired her to apply to the internship this year.
"I love writing as a medium to express myself and to bring attention to issues or community events that I care about," she said. "I think it's important for members of community to be informed about the world around them, whether it's on a relatively small scale like Chestnut Hill or on a national or international level, and I really enjoy being a part of that communication. I like that journalism is (or can be) a conversation – informing people about an event, issue or development and sparking their curiosity, inspiring them to get involved."
Witonsky, 17, an editor with the SCH yearbook and a member of the school's fashion club, is a photography buff who wants to write for a fashion magazine someday. She has gotten a foot in the door by writing items for the University of Pennsylvania's fashion blog WALK. Conducting interviews and writing stories about local shops inspired her to apply to the internship.
"I am a very curious person," she said. "I feel as if journalism gives me the opportunity to connect with others that I would not otherwise have the chance to meet. I love hearing about people's stories and then getting to share them with an audience through my writing."
Witonsky said the internship managed to push her into territory she wasn't used to.
"I've learned to expand my comfort zone in terms of what I'm familiar writing about," she said. "I had the chance to write about fashion, which is what I am passionate about, but I also had the chance to interview a saxophone player, someone whom I would never have written about otherwise"
Cusick also said she faced a bit of adversity.
"In a school newspaper setting, most of the interviewing is pretty easy – teachers and administrators are accessible by email, and there aren't many people who will deny an interview," she said. "During my time at the Local, I encountered many people who just didn't want to have anything to do with me or the paper. And I had to deal with that."
All in all, Witonsky said she was very happy to have spent time this summer as an intern.
"The Local has been an ideal place to have my first internship," she said. "It has been a hands-on experience, and I really feel that I have contributed to the newspaper. Seeing my article on the front page was an exciting milestone in my early writing career. I loved having the flexibility to write about topics of my choice, and then having the freedom to go out and conduct interviews, take photographs, and meet new people around Chestnut Hill."
Cusick has also enjoyed the experience.
"My internship at the Local has been great," she said. "The staff was very welcoming, and I've always been treated like a real reporter. The senior editors helped me out a lot when I was first starting pieces, but for the most part I felt I was held to the same standard as the staff writers in setting up and conducting interviews and putting together thoughtful, readable pieces."

Gimbal's Lavaballs
Gimbal's LavaBalls aren't a new product, I even saw them at the 2006 All Candy Expo. But I never saw them in stores (except online in 5 lb boxes), so I was hesitant to write about something that you couldn't get.
Well, I found them, at Walgreen's (and they're probably in other places) ... so here's a review!
Gimbal's is an old San Francisco panned confectioner, run by the same family for four generations. They make a line of gourmet jelly beans, some fun licorice product and pectin/jelly items. The bonus with Gimbal's (besides the high quality) is that their facility is practically allergen free ... their candies are free of gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, gelatin, gluten, eggs and dairy. They're also Kosher. (They do use Soy.)
LavaBalls are chewy hot cinnamon candies. Like their name implies, they're a spicy cinnamon.
They're like a giant jelly bean. The gumdrop center is lightly spiced, kind of like a Spearmint Leaf, mild but still making a generous contribution to the overall flavor. On top of that is a little layer or super-spice that's covered by the rest of the nicely warm candy shell.
They're about the size of a marble, which is a satisfying size for a sizzling chew. They're not too hot for me, but there's a pleasant burn and sometimes they'll catch me a little bit with a tickle in my throat.
The balls are about the size of a marble, so they're bigger than their newest competitor, the Chewy Atomic Fireballs (which are not allergen free) and marginally spicier and just deeper in flavor.
I enjoy these a lot and would definitely find them good traveling candies, a movie watching snack and good for swift novel-writing. Each LavaBall has about 13 calories each.
They do contain beeswax (and artificial colors/flavors) so may not be suitable for vegans.
