I've been skimming this this morning...
This is a science-related essay that mentions God a lot.
Our indirect "image" of such truly alien material beyond our Big Bang envelope will always have very low resolution, but we have to take what we can get. Only a transcendent divinity "above it all" could see better. Nevertheless, this singular low-resolution achievement would place us finite humans higher up the ladder of sentient beings on Earth and elsewhere who are living "in the image of God."
Since this essay was first written in 2007 the advance of science has continued, and will continue. In September of 2008 scientists announced their discovery of the likely presence of dark matter beyond our visible universe. That either means there was a universe preceding our Big Bang universe, with the initial inflationary expansion of our Big Bang pushing outward pre-existing dark matter; or it could also mean that there are indeed other universes in the Universe beyond our own.
This recent data comes from the WMAP satellite. Basically, a gravitationally strong patch some twenty degrees in diameter has been detected toward the Centaurus and Vela constellations. Very distant galaxy clusters are moving toward it in ways that cannot otherwise be explained. This WMAP observation opens the door for future observations of other gravitationally strong patches, and even for the concept of a broader halo of matter somewhat more distant. I invite you to read a report in Astronomy magazine at this URL: http://www.astronomy.com/asy/d.....38;id=7423
Eventually, it could be demonstrated that so-called dark energy may primarily be distant energy/matter increasingly attracting our known universe, as what we know moves toward the boundaries of our observable universe. If this flow is so, then the vision of everything, even atomic cores, being totally ripped apart by phantom energy in a Big Rip some 80+ billion years hence is not true. Of course, our own universe may vanish as such in a sea of bubble universes. Its constituent elements should survive elsewhere, to be followed by new bubbles created by future big bangs. There would be no end to everything within an infinite singularity of chaos, merely a mixing of the soup over and over again. In this extremely long term view, the more things change, the more they remain the same.
Stargate Universe dealt with the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation; it was integrated into the plot.

One cosmological fallacy I know of is Maybelline's claim that their mascara is waterproof. I know first hand that it's not. 😮
Oh yes I DID say that! snap!

Seriously though,
I like how the excerpt talks about resolution... I think of that all the time. I strong feel like our reality is holographic, even digital. It's just that the resolution we are seeing is so incredible, we can't see the jagged edges. I just have this hunch that if we were to take all that Hubble technology and look inward instead of outward, we might start seeing pixels!!!! :wtf:

Maybe we need to reexamine the assumption that reality is made of things. But it does appear plausible that reality has a certain structure. It may be made of blocks of structures, a structure of structures.
Why is this important?
Well, if God is omnipresent, then reality is a good candidate for what God is, given reality's omnipresence. IF we can learn more about reality then perhaps we can learn more about God.
The SGU clip mentions that the CMB radiation has structure when looked at with high enough resolution, something Destiny was capable of but current physics was not. It could be a message or it could be a sign of intelligence. I wonder if our scientists will discover order in the CMB radiation one day, making SGU not so much science fiction but science inspiration.

I think it's interesting that very often it's those who mix religion and science who say the most interesting things. Sure worked for the Gnostics who were the first to suggest that which we call dark matter and that it pre-existed the universe. I don't know how they knew but they knew, thousands of years ago. And you never hear much about them. Really amazing.
"How well it suits all men on the subject of chaos to say that it came from a kind of darkness."
Damn! How did they know that? Of all the people who ever lived they were the most ahead of their time.

Nothing is ever simple with Q. Guyton. If his "Henny & Grand Marnier" was just a prelude then "Beamer Life", his latest track from his Reduction tape is just another visual appetizer for us to dine on.
The rapper is once more up to tricks and schemes, laying out a plot to get everyone paid during an MMA fight and avoid the authorities at all cost. With major players in every corner, not to mention XO Vegas doing his best to play a decoy, "Beamer Life" executes every mafioso/smart hood movie fantasy come to life. Licks hit, no losses, all victories for your chaps who think purple label polos and big body Beamers are the way to go.

One DSHS-approved continuing education activities will count toward all your certificates/authorizations.
- Example: You have a social services interpreter certificate, medical interpreter certificate, and a translator certificate. You only need to accumulate 20 credits in a 4 year period, not 60 credits.
In-Person Activities:
- There is a sign-in/out sheet that is provided to the host of the approved DSHS CE activity for use the day of the activity. This sign-in/out sheet will be used to allot credits to your files. Make sure to write down ALL your alphanumeric certificate/authorization numbers so the activity is added to all your certificates/authorizations.
Online Activities:
- Send an email to LTC with the certificate that you receive upon completion of the approved DSHS online CE activities. Include the approval number, found under the List of DSHS Approved CE Activities. Make sure to include ALL your alphanumeric certificate/authorization numbers in the body of the email so the activity is added to all your certificates/authorizations.
Why are these certificate numbers so important?
- Each certification number represents a record in one of the six databases that we work out of. If you have multiple authorizations/certifications, we won't know, because these databases don't "talk" to each other. Without knowing your record number in each database, we don't have any other way to verify that we are allotting the credits to the correct file. The six databases are:
- Employee Certified (ex: EC1234. Employees do not need to report CE)
- Social Service Authorized (ex: SA1234)
- Social Service Certified (ex: SC1234)
- Medical Authorized (ex: MA1234)
- Medical Certified (ex: MC1234)
- Translator Certified (ex: TC1234)

Greystone Acquires Acre of Prime Edgewater Land for South Florida Multifamily Development
May 6, 2014
Category: Deals
New Mixed-Use Development Will Include 156 Residential Units and 20,000 Sq. Ft. of Retail Space In Desired Miami District Near Biscayne Bay
Greystone announced the closing on a 45,365 square foot (1.04 acre) parcel of land in the Edgewater district of Miami, Florida. The project, a joint venture with Miami-based Alta Developers and Strategic Properties, represents the second Miami-based project for the group of development companies.
The planned 156-unit mixed-use high-rise property is located near Biscayne Bay, and boasts 20,000 square feet of street-level retail. Once fully developed, the property will have a projected value in excess of over $60 million. The property is in an optimal Miami location with easy access to retail, dining and shopping.
"The Miami real estate market is extremely vibrant – much like New York, but unique in its own way – and we are enjoying the exploration, acquisition and development process as an extension of our development roots in the North," said Jeff Simpson, CEO of Greystone Property Development. "All of our local partners have been integral to the development of our South Florida projects and we look forward to more in the pipeline," Simpson added.
"We are thrilled to expand our relationship with Greystone to meet the growing demand for more luxury rentals in Miami," said Henry Pino of Strategic Properties.
The Edgewater multifamily development site is located at 2500 Biscayne Boulevard, with construction planned to begin in December 2014. The property will feature a swimming pool, secure garage parking, fitness center, concierge and other luxury amenities. Architectural firm Behar Font & Partners, based in Coral Gables, has been retained for the project.
Outside of its South Florida multifamily development projects, Greystone is currently developing several other real estate projects in New York City, including a 6-floor townhome in the much sought-after West Village, and multifamily properties in Williamsburg and DUMBO.

Okay well maybe it's Spanish Mondays but that doesn't sound as fun. Trey and I decided to take a Spanish course, through Wake Tech's continuing education program that is taught at Leesville High School! How convienient :) He speaks Spanish daily to the Mexicans that work for him at Hasentree and has done really well picking up the language. He wanted to learn how to conjugate verbs and properly put together sentences so he thought of taking a course. I took Spanish in high school and enjoyed it, plus I do teach ESL students who are Spanish speaking sometimes so I thought I'd take it with him. It has been pretty good so far, it isn't stressful because there aren't any grades and our teacher will cover basically anything we want her to!
Last Monday, I cooked enchiladas for dinner, so we ate Spanish food then went to speak Spanish for 3 hours! :)

When a huge cyber-attack hits London and the UK it reveals all of the active undercover agents. Johnny English must come out of retirement and go old school to find the mastermind hacker behind these attacks.
Johnny English is currently working as a Geography teacher in an exclusive school but that is not stopping him from encouraging the students to train as young spies. This does create some rather amusing moments but I guess that would be a totally different film. He is brought back to MI7 by default really with him no longer being part of the organisation but when national security is at risk and he is not known they must rely on him to do a good job.
Obviously we know that it is not going to be very simple or straightforward and he bumbled through the mission in terrible fashion blowing things up, causing issues and in general being himself. A truly terrible spy. I am afraid to say though that this really did not have that many funny moments and I found it to be just too stupid now.
The only thing I actually found interesting was the Prime Minister and it certainly feels like a very good play on Theresa May! Maybe a little bit too close but that was what I felt was from Emma Thompson's performance. Which was probably the only good thing about this film. I guess the cyber attack made the story pretty relevant. We are actually given a former Bond girl in the film as well in Olga Kurylenko, which was bugging me throughout as I knew I recognised her from another film (Quantum of Solace).
Rowan Atkinson is his usual silly self in the role of Johnny English which maybe should have just been left well and truly alone? Everything was way too predictable and just not as funny as the first time you see the spy spoof film. I guess I decided to give this one a try as some light relief from other films I have seen recently, but it just did not do that job well enough for me to be able to switch off and enjoy it.
So if you decide to miss this film I think that would be a very good idea, as you certainly do not gain anything by watching this film. Nothing new or groundbreaking going on at all with it.

"In life, one must choose between boredom and suffering." said Madame de Stael. Madame de Stael is dead. She couldn't have possibly known that you could choose both, but in her defence, the option hadn't truly presented itself until Animal Rivals came out for Switch, which deftly combines the two feelings to an utter master stroke.
Animal Rivals positions itself as a party game, which is a bizarre thing as anyone who would actually want to play this ostensibly has no friends. It's set up in the familiar format: a variety of mini-games which come at players randomly, and the highest scoring participant "wins", although God knows what they might win playing these turgid mini-games, which either involve running and leaping over obstacles or pits, competing in an Olympic style hurdles race, or picking up objects like fruit and vegetables and collecting the most before your opponents. If these sound dull, uninspiring, and tedious to you, you're correct! These are absolutely devoid of anything even resembling fun. I know party games are not always packed with winners, and that even Mario Party has a few dodgy additions, but here, nothing truly inspires, and everything here has less substance than a 2005 Flash game.
I must concede that the graphics are fair, as they have clarity and they bring the world of Animal Rivals to life. It's just a shame that this world is writhing on the floor of a psychopath's basement, begging for death. Seems like an oxymoron, but the reality is that the developers made a pig's ear of the presentation. The aesthetics are bright, but in no way is it pleasant or pleasing to the eye: rather, it's like a nightclub's coat room in the early-90s and everyone's carelessly thrown their loud tracksuit tops into the corner. It's truly a nasty orgy of colour not recommended for anyone blessed with the gift of sight that makes playing the game an actively unpleasant experience.
This is compounded by the absolutely horrendous designs of the main characters. As you make your way through the available mini-games with your pals, you can choose from a series of animal avatars to represent you, and they look like genetic abominations, to say the least. These are horrifying! Jacked-up lions, rats, and cats looking like they've been hitting the gym a bit too hard, with requisitely terrifying faces that neither mother or child could love. May I remind everyone, especially the developers, that this game was actively geared towards children? There was nothing fun or cute about this – an attempt at an exaggerated look quickly morphed into a shopping list of horrors, designed by someone so catastrophically out of touch not just with what children like, but what humans like. There is no aesthetic here. It's just a mess.
Some joy might be had out of the gameplay, but it's very fleeting and soon turns frigid, like being doused in boiling-hot soup that slowly grows cold, leaving you a minestrone-masked mess. Even then, the fun is either masochistic or sadistic, and you'll arguably get more mileage out of this with a set of buddies, but truthfully, not even the very young or very drunk will be able to look past how lame and how lazy this all is.
Presentation doesn't just refer to graphics or the wider aesthetic, but how the game fits together menu to menu as a piece of software, and there are very genuine moments in which Animal Rivals feels like it's held together with duct tape. Except for the music itself, which is more like chewing gum placed in the ears and then smacked so it lodges itself deep in the aural canal. I thought the assault on the senses ended with the graphics, but the music consists of a set of truly awful stock tracks that detract from the action, distracting in their inferior quality.
The reasonable gaming public don't expect much, especially from a smaller developer, but the fonts will do damage to your retinas, the characters seem to have been constructed lovelessly on somebody's lunch break after a quick Google search for "what do children like", and some screens are completely void of any sound design, most glaringly the sections where the character's backstories are explained. That's just embarrassing! We have no problem reading, but when the game goes dead silent, you'll always carry a fear that your Switch has crashed entirely. The entirety of the end product feels so slapdash and amateurish, as if cobbled together for a few, sweaty, desperate bucks with no trace of love for the project in sight. Ultimately, this title is put together in a manner that is so rickety that it betrays the low production values from a team that doesn't seem to care, and complements the cynicism of a team that just wants your money.
I'll say it until I'm hoarse in the throat: Animal Rivals is as poorly presented as a wild boar, as embarrassing as allowing a fox to play with the chickens, and as much fun as cleaning up an elephant's dung. This game is painful on far too many levels; graphically, presentationally, sonically, existentially…this is a mammoth waste of time for everyone involved, and there's no use being sheepish about it. Animal Rivals' poorness just stings.
Verdict: This game deserves to take a trip to the glue factory.

article consignment boutique, borderlands, borderlands 2, cheap thrills, cosplay, dolluxe, epic cosplay wigs, evangeline's costume mansion, freestyle clothing exchange, gothic, halloween, handsome jack, point.clickstudios., prevues, sacramento, wig
Photography by: Mike Pellatt of Point.Click.Studios.
Not everyone in Sacramento is a cosplayer, so I know that some may not be as prepared as me for this upcoming Halloween. This post is to help offer tips for costume shopping this October (or for any costumed events in your near future):
- Shop local: It's good for Sacramento and good for your wallet. Excellent places to shop at are Evangeline's (also good for makeup), Cheap Thrills and Prevues.
- Shop second-hand: Goodwill is always a good place to start. Please also keep in mind Article and Freestyle.
- A good wig: Cheap wigs reflect light like crazy– so if you want to avoid any bright distractions in your Halloween photos, buying a good quality wig is a good investment. They aren't exactly cheap so I would buy a wig that you could reuse. Epic Cosplay and Gothic Lolita Wigs are great vendors who have a free shipping option if it if you order early enough.
- Fake eyelashes: Making your eyes pop for dramatic effect is key– drugstore fake lashes will suffice. Dolluxe is also a great brand with free shipping option.
- Research: Know what your costume should look like– going off memory isn't always a good idea. Have pictures.
- Prepare: Wearing make up? Carry it on you so you can touch it up. Hard to move in your costume? Bring a friend to help you maneuver. Prepare– always.
- Nails: Paint them so they're appropriate with your costume. Can't figure what color to do? French manicure or clear– and make sure your nails are in shape.

Alf has not been paying attention to what the fat fanatics have been up to lately.
Accordingly he missed their calls for this country to introduce a soda tax.
He was alerted to this development by the good people at the Taxpayers Union.
They issues a press statement yesterday that said:
Reacting to the call for soda taxes from University of Auckland Professor Boyd Swinburn, and University of Otago Associate Professor, Nick Wilson, Taxpayers' Union Executive Director, Jordan Williams, says:
"Denmark's tax on saturated fat introduced in 2011 was an economic disaster. The Danish tax was abandoned 15 months later and did little, if anything, to reduce harmful consumption. Worse, it was estimated to have cost 1,300 jobs. Why would New Zealand want to repeat this mistake?"
"Taxing the Kiwi tradition of a warm pie and can of cola won't reduce obesity. The overseas experience tells us that it just leads to compensatory purchasing and brand switching."
"There is no doubt that we have an obesity problem in New Zealand. But health academics too often ignore the economic evidence that taxing an inelastic product won't affect the consumption of those consuming too much. Tap water is free, but people still choose to pay for bottled water. A tax on soda won't stop people from over-indulging."
Now, Alf is bound to say he knows all about the fat police gunning for some of his favourite foods, such as a a mince pie with cheese.
He does not know much about inelastic products but does not care much about whether they are taxed because he is sure he does not include these things in his diet.
Nor – until now – did he know the fat fanatics and sugar shock troops had their eyes on soda water.
But he is inclined to let them go right ahead and does not share the Taxpayers Union's hostility to the idea.
He suggests the tax be based on the number of calories in each bottle of the stuff.
How much would the food fanatics collect?
Fuck all.
Let's start with a definition:
Carbonated water (also known as club soda, soda water, sparkling water, seltzer water, or fizzy water) is water into which carbon dioxide gas under pressure has been dissolved. Some of these have additives such as sodium (seltzer water is almost always composed of water and carbon dioxide with no other additives). This process, known as carbonation, is a process that causes the water to become effervescent. For people who enjoy drinking soft drinks, carbonated water can provide a calorie and sugar-free substitute.
So the tucker taxers will be taxing a product that serves as a calorie and sugar-free substitute.
But they are such fanatics it's a fair bet they will want to go ahead, anyway.
Oh, and then there's the challenge of ensuring the tax system captures every drop of the evil stuff.
This will require an invasion of our households because…
The vast majority of carbonated water is sold in ready to drink bottles as mineral water and carbonated beverages such as soft drinks. However it is rather easy to prepare at home with soda makers.
And now to check out the question of how much money will be collected from a tax based on calories.
Mrs Grumble found this dismaying information about the calorie content.
It suggests the tax take will be the same from a bottle of soda as from a bloody great vat of the stuff.
The calorie content is zero.
Alf could suggest a way of making a drink with soda that would generate more income than a tax on soda alone.
It's to pour the soda on to a shot of whisky.
A calorie count can then be recorded.
But Alf will make no such suggestion. First, he does not want to aid and abet the food fanatics in any wise. And second, if there is to be any law change on the matter of soda, it should be to ensure it is never ever mixed with a good scotch.

Our First House Party - Part 2 of 2
We were ready to go and started making our goodbyes. But, Mrs. 2 and Single Newbie Girl had gotten in the hot tub with several other people. Mrs. 2 cajoled me to join them. Wife said we could stay and urged me to get in. So I stripped down in front of them and got in. Single Newbie Girl was finally out of the one spot where she spent the whole night. And she was actually in the water, albeit in a bathing suit, but in the water. They made room between them (actually Mrs. 2 moved closer to an old guy (which both seemed to like) while Single Newbie Girl stayed put even though there was no one on the other side of her). Over the next half hour I slowly proceed to caress Single Newbie Girl, very, very slowly. But she lets me. I ask if she's ok and she is. I touch her legs gently, her arms, her hand and slip my hand behind her back. She's enjoying it and so am I.
Mrs. 2 (and some others) get out of the hot tub. She asks Single Newbie Girl if she is OK and she is. A few minutes later, I want to kiss her. I don't ask but pull her close, a couple of inches separating our faces, and look into her eyes. And she bolts. Out of the hot tub and inside to change. I guess I was showing no signs of stoppin, and my eyes were a poppin. Since she wanted ta blow, let her go, let her go, let her go. I had progressively gotten braver and braver. Maybe she left because if she didn't, she would regret it (though I (probably) wouldn't have pressed much further since she is new). Maybe she left because she felt I was pressuring her, taking advantage when I shouldn't. Maybe it was because I have a tendency to give out a low, guttural mmmmrrrrrrhhhhh when I'm really turned on. Usually it has a very positive effect on women, but given my sleepiness and inebriation I may have over did it. Alright, I know I over did it. And maybe that came across as "This guy is growling at me!" In any case, I got out of the hot tub to dry off. Our towels were inside now and I had to stand naked for all to see while Wife retrieved a towel. Nobody minded, not even me.
Mrs. 2 was in the pool so I slipped in to say goodbye. She flirted with me and I slipped over next to her to hug her. She slips away and I pursue. She has me right where she wants me. I catch her and don't let her loose, I hug her to say goodbye and kiss her. Single Newbie Girl left, and I was too focused on Mrs. 2 to say goodbye (and sorry, if I needed to) or even notice her leaving. What must she have thought - he tried to kiss me now he's pursuing her. He didn't want to kiss me, he wanted to kiss someone, anyone. Yeah, I might have come off as a horny, desperate, preying bastard that growls. Not my finest hour.
Now there was a small consolation, Mrs. 3 came over and hugged me goodbye while I was nude just about to slip back in the pool. Maybe she was just being polite because she knew us, or maybe there is some attraction there (I hope so). We shall see. I didn't make the mmmrrrrhhhh sound.
For what it's worth, Wife has granted me permission to play alone with Mrs. 2. Also, she has said at parties I can play without her and she is open to separate room swapping, though I'm not allowed to swing without her except for with Mrs. 2 (for now!).

To each his own but I'd have a real problem with my wife if she was denying me the chance to play with a willing partner while she was off with another guy for two hours.
If this is what you guys want then good luck, but seems more than a little hypocritical for her to have her fun and keep you frustrated.glybi

To clarify, at parties, which is where she played for two hours, I am allowed to play separately from Wife. I knew that even without asking that night. Had I found a willing partner, I would have played.
So yes, things aren't always fair. For now, I can't go out to play on my own, except with Mrs. 2 (and my gift). That's about the only difference in our rules.
But you don't know our history prior to last March. I've had fun. It was time for her to have fun. That's part of the reason we started down the hotwife path. Now it's time for both of us to have fun.
Our rules are constantly evolving. I have no doubt that soon our relationship will be completely open. The two things that could destroy that are pushing too hard too soon and dishonesty.
She knows my feelings and what I want because we can share those without fear that I will insist on them. That lets her get comfortable and when she is ready, she suggests them.
It works for us.

This driver got a fierce lesson in why you should never overtake a turning truck!
After approaching a driveway on the left, the driver needs some extra room to turn in, so he swings the truck to the right.
While the truck slows to make its turn a white car tries to sneak up the inside of the truck. After nearly making it past, the truck accidentally performs a perfect PIT (Precision Intercept Technique) manoeuvre. sending the white car into the opposite lane, narrowly avoiding a head on collision.

A tropical deciduous tree, Kratom is native to Southeast Asia and is used widely throughout the region for medicinal purposes. Mitragyna speciosa is the scientific name given to this evergreen tree and its history is quite fascinating. Even though Kratom is indigenous in Thailand, it was also banned there because it was used as a natural substitute for opium and this had a negative impact on the country's economy. Yes, its effects are highly similar to morphine, but that's not where its benefits end. First of all, it doesn't have any addictive qualities and its leaves contains unique nutrients and chemical compounds. These include a wide array of alkaloids and other organic substances that have beneficial effects on several of the organ systems in the human body.
Some of the amazing and impressive benefits of Kratom that you will notice on your health are outlined as follows:
- Pain Relief
This is one of the most widely known and obvious benefits that you can derive from Kratom. The leaves of this plant have alkaloids and nutrients and they have analgesic properties that can quickly relieve pain from the body by having an impact on your hormonal system. You can alleviate the pain in the body by increasing the amount of dopamine and serotonin released into the body, which is contained in Kratom products. The pain receptors within the body are dulled by the alkaloids due to which Kratom is said to have opium or morphine-like qualities.
- Energy Booster
Another reason that has made Kratom so popular amongst people is its metabolic effects. Certain metabolic processes are optimized and hormone levels are impacted when you consume Kratom and this can boost your energy levels. Kratom is able to accomplish this by increasing circulation in the body even though it has a soothing nature. Since it increases metabolic activity and also provides oxygenated blood to different areas of the body that need it, Kratom is able to offer you increased bursts of energy.
- Anxiety and Mood Swings
Any substance that can cause opium-like effects and can relieve pain is also going to have an impact on the mental tone and stability. Therefore, it is not surprising to know that a lot of people who suffer from depression, mood swings, chronic stress and anxiety use it as an anxiolytic. As it is able to regulate the hormones in your body, the exhausting symptoms caused by a chemical imbalance are eliminated without the use of any pharmaceuticals that have multiple side effects.
- Heart Health
A number of studies have been conducted and their results indicate that the use of Kratom can cause your blood pressure to drop distinctly. The chemical components in Kratom influence the hormones of the body so they are able to reduce inflammation, especially in the arteries and blood vessels.

Local Filmmaker Spotlight: Documentary and Activism Panel at 6:00 PM
We live in an age where documentary films have the power to inform the masses on hot topic issues from global warming, preserving freedom of speech to genetically modified food debate. SFWFF will host a panel dedicated to "Filmmaking and Activism." Local Filmmakers, Shani Heckman (America's Most Unwanted), Sheila Ganz (Moms Living Clean), Windy Borman (The Eyes of Thailand), and Tamara Perkins (The Trust).
America's Most Unwanted, is a project that reveals tales of hope and survival from former foster youth and group home kids. Moms Living Clean reveals the trans-formative effect an innovative residential substance abuse treatment program has on six mothers and their young children interwoven with drug policies that impact pregnant and parenting mothers.
The Eyes of Thailand raises awareness about the endangered Thai Asian Elephant. In 1993, Thailand boasted 40,000 Thai Asian Elephants. By November 2007, a mere 14 years later, there were less than 2,600 left in captivity. The Trust is shot inside San Quentin State Prison and in surrounding Bay Area communities. The Trust program is to transform the incarcerated from social liabilities into assets for themselves, their families and their communities.

eBay is the place where fake memory items are sold. More than 72 countries around the world have been affected. From amazing sizes of 500g usb flash drives, branded as Sony or Kingston flash memory products you will find advertised sizes ranging from 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and odd sizes such as 40GB or 80GB. Transcend, Sandisk, Corsair and other brand names are affected. Non branded items are also a very serious problem. You can learn a lot more by reading the report published on two years of data from SOSFakeFlash in: Global Report – eBay Fake Memory 2008 – 2009
According to SOSFakeFlash, eBay does not take action against fraudulent eBay sellers. Instead eBay members take action to suspend and remove the sellers. They force eBay to stop them. Sellers who are all lowed to continue their fraud, are those for whom eBay members do not take action or report to SOSFakeFlash. On the other hand, when members do report in to SOSFakeFlash using their Report A Fake Tab, things start to become very unpleasant for fake flash memory sellers on eBay.
A good contrast between action and inaction on the part of eBay victims is seen in their recent article:
sunfeixia2009 eBay Fake Memory Seller And fortunefa886999. Is There A Connection Between These eBay Id's?
Victory against a fake flash memory seller appears to be the result of eBay members who have a strong belief in justice. When people refuse to be frauded, things can happen. Of course it requires effort. SOSFakeFlash expects victims to do their part.
Some people incorrectly assume that SOSFakeFlash will take care of things.
Nothing could be further from the truth. SOSFakeFlash needs the participation of victims, in fact it is a requirement. There are many groups in the FrankenFlash project, most center on reporting information.
Techreporters has learned that most of the teams are busy investigating and documenting information on the subject of fake flash memory around the world. SOSFakeFlash can and does organize victims, but expects that they show commitment. When they do, eBay fake flash sellers are soon suspended and stopped from selling. When they don't, an eBay fake flash memory seller is permitted to continue frauding.
What is the main reason the FrankenFlash project exists? Is it because of the money people lose to fraudulent sellers? No.
The real reason the FrankenFlash project exists is because of the consequences fake flash memory products – the loss of data and files. You can't put a price on lost information or what it means to a victim. There have been many tragic stories. It impacts general users, companies and even governments.
The eBay arena, is important. It is global. Sellers can be stopped, they can be suspended from selling. The recent xprodeal case is one of the best examples! Action by eBay victims. The case of ebay seller obamastores is a study of inaction.
Education of the global public on the terrible practise of reprogramming flash memory chips is important. Awareness is needed. Recently SOSFakeFlash asked that people document their experiences see:
in their own native languages and at local internet sites. TechReporters at FakeFlashNews, thinks this is a wonderful idea. Recent SEO metrics from the project indicate that this is vital. It is also key against the war of fake flash memory items.
Additional information is revealing that many visitors to the FrankenFlash project are in low income brackets. Is that a surprise? No.
It means that people who have little money to spend are the most vunerable to acquiring fake flash memory items. Especially on eBay. They need to get the message, to be warned. Better to have one genuine capacity item then many deadly fakes.
eBay is not the place to shop for usb flash drive pen sticks, mp players, or memory cards – it is just too dangerous. SOSFakeFlash has too much evidence. Will members on eBay ever learn? FakeFlashNews is unclear on the answer. What is clear, is the only people who can really protect members are other members, not eBay. If a member chooses to act and works with the SOSFakeFlash team, things happen, when members do not, fraud continues and more members suffer the consequences.

*This post is sponsored by Next, the UK's top online clothing retailer now available in the US. Their new winter line is the bomb dot com and don't miss this weekend's Columbus Day sale with items up to 40% off!
Every season we go through the same struggle in our house—wardrobe denial. When fall and winter roll around, my kids still want to wear shorts and t-shirts. It takes a good two weeks to convince them that seeing your breath in the frosty morning air is enough reason to bundle up.
After seeing and experiencing Next's new winter line of family clothing, I have no doubt that the transition to warmer clothing is going to be a breeze. Everything on their site is perfection.
Quality, Fashionable Clothing at Affordable Prices
Next is the UK's number one online clothing retailer and I can't believe I just recently clued in to how amazing they are! Next offers the most adorable, fashionable clothing for your entire family. I'm an especial sucker for their kids' clothing. With each order, I'm continually impressed by not only the unique designs, but the quality of clothing at such affordable prices.
Ooh, and don't miss this weekend's BIG Columbus Day sale with items up to 40% off! (Sale runs October 7-10th.)
Easy Online Shopping, Free Express Shipping!
Like many of you, the biggest reason I shop online is for the sheer convenience. The last time I tried to take all my children to the mall, I ended up chasing the three-year-old up the escalator, getting barfed on by the baby, and buying five soft pretzels to appease the masses. I'll take online shopping any day.
With Next, every single order ships FREE in just three business days! Free shipping is a huge selling point in my book.
(plaid baby leggings & red cardigan)(girls check leggings — cream frill blouse — navy cardigan)
(ruffle collar denim dress)
Prepping for winter involves plenty of layers and Next's winter collection is full of gorgeous plaid prints, tiny cardigans, and the most delicious pint-sized boots I've ever seen!

They've got cool tees for the boys and girly denim for the girls. Little man sweaters for the buddies and classy dresses for the little ladies, all on point with Prince William and Kate Middleton's royal tykes. I love the big UK designs right here in my small American town.
Warm Clothes for the Whole Family
Now that we've established that Next has some really rockin' kids' clothes, let me tell you how much I love their women's line. They've got padded bomber jackets, modern military coats, and the plaid dress that I promise you will look bombshell in!
And the fall staple every mom is looking for: the perfect oversized long hoodie. (It's perfect I tell you, PERFECT!)
Next also has a great men's line with something for every guy, from the on-fleek fella to the real chill dude. For the colder months ahead, you'll find Zip Through Hoodies, cool Anorak jackets, and sweaters that are fashionable, comfortable, and so affordable.

So if your family has a hard time letting go of the tanks and sandals, introduce them to Next's new winter line and make prepping for those cold months ahead much easier!
And remember to shop Next's Columbus Day sale this weekend (October 7-10th) for even bigger savings!

|Pancho's wake up pranks
| Matthew Pritchard
Lee Dainton Pancho (victim)
|First Appearance
|Dirty Sanchez the movie
|Last Appearance
|Dirty Sanchez the movie
- "Here we have the peace maker: Mikhail Gorbachev"
- — Dainton
This was a Pancho wake up prank from the Dirty Sanchez movie involving Pritchard and Dainton shaving Pancho's hair in the style of former USSR leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
Recipe for disaster Edit
- Russian influence
- Pens
- Hair clippers
- Drunkard
- Tomato sauce
- Piss
- Two asshole friends
Oh those Russians... Edit
Some time before the World Record break, Pancho had passed out once again. Pritchard decided to piss on Pancho in order to get back at him for his snoring, in the film Pritchard pissing on a sleeping Pancho was shown after the World Record break and Pritchard's injuries were shown to the gang, Jim in the commentary saying 'Just when we were feeling sorry for you Pritch, you piss on your friend Pancho'. Almost immediately after having a piss, Pritchard, along with Dainton decide to start shaving Pancho's head. While shaving Pancho stopped snoring which actually scared the boys into thinking that he had stopped breathing, prompting Dainton to ask Pancho to breath, but soon Pancho started snoring again, making the two boys laugh. After shaving Pancho's hair some more Dainton started drawing an outline for Gorbachev's birth mark on the bald spot, however the pen he was using wasn't working quite so well, so Dainton decided to splodge a load of tomato sauce onto Pancho's head. The sauce lead to Pancho waking up, and mumbling 'Oh yeah yeah and your mother and your father'.
Aftermath Edit
Pritchard and Dainton scuttered from the scene trying to get away, However Pancho on the other hand knew it was those two that had shaved his head and started tracking them down. Pritchard re-entered the scene and pretended to not know what had happened to Pancho. Pancho started attacking Pritchard by hitting him over the head repeatedly and grabbing his leg. Pancho then knocked Pritchard onto the ground and tried to shit on him. Pritchard eventually decided to give Pancho a free slap on the face, Pancho nearly knocking him out. The two later made up and had a hug, Dan decided to join in by hugging Dainton completely naked, freaking Dainton out. The boys decided that they were fed up with Anger and of Russia, next stop was Thailand, Bangkok for the sin of Lust.

CoCo Brother Resigns From Radio One
"CoCo Brother, Jesus Baby"! That's the phrase that has been synonymous with a movement that CoCo Brother made famous for eight years across the country. So why has CoCo Brother decided to call it quits? Word has it, James Fortune will be the new host during that time slot. We will keep you posted. Read his letter below…
It's Been Great!
That was the title of my email Wednesday the 22nd Of May 2013 to a distinguished group of people in radio (CLICK HERE to read)….Ever since the end of 2012 I've been in prayer about what is next.
Now I know….
Continue to follow the voice of God! It's the same voice I heard in 2004 – 2005 when I was in Hip-Hop on WHTA Hot 107.9 in Atlanta…. FOLLOW ME! Leave it ALL– FOLLOW ME! It was one of the biggest steps of faith I had ever taken. I heard that same voice on Wednesday, 8 years to the day.
When I look back at that day, if I never stepped out on faith, then I would never have been able to be used by God to pour into so many people every night with the love of Christ!
I never thought after being obedient on that day, God would give me everything I desired in radio! My goal was to be the first African American male syndicated at night on a mainstream platform. Syndicated on R&B, Hip- Hop and Gospel stations…. ministering the Gospel of Jesus across the country. No one believed that a night time urban radio show could be syndicated, this was truly The LORD'S doing!
I never leave a place until I have accomplished all I am called to do…. When I look back, powerful interviews like 1st Lady Michelle Obama for 1 hour, talking people off the bridge from committing suicide, ushering the presence of God into people's car, home, job thru the radio. Walking and standing by our gospel artist during their toughest moments. Loving on Leaders/ Pastors through the storm. Seeing live and real miracles take place through the radio. People who were blind, now able to see…. Watching the LORD pack out arenas all around the world and seeing people get saved and baptized.
But most of all, we have blazed a trail for others to come and do what we dreamed and envisioned. The greatest compliment anyone can ever give you is to hold on to what you created. So I am very excited about whoever comes behind me because they will have an opportunity that at one point didn't exist. My work was not in vain. I have only one desire left in radio. When I come back after this summer, I'm coming back to create a legacy that will outlive me. By becoming an owner, we will give many people the same opportunity I had.
But by far…. Exodus still touches my heart! It's our youth outreach. Everytime we do this evangelistic outreach thousands of young people give their lives to Jesus! It's incredible, nothing is more fulfilling and rewarding. That's why I made the decision to leave radio as of Wednedsay May 22, 2013 until after the summer…. (CLICK HERE to read)
My wife, Joann, and I are committed to this generation and understand that if we don't do something now, we can miss the voice of God in this season. We must go where He is directing us. This summer, through the Exodus Youth Camp, we will focus on disciplining over 400 youth from around the world to go back to their communities and implement change by impacting their generation. Our goal is to ignite a fire in them that will change their communities, churches, schools…. With the help of many TRUE friends and leaders, we WILL accomplish this task. ( Stay tune for more details to come)
The thing you learn in radical faith moments like this is, who your REAL friends are! Was it about what I can or could do for you? Or was it really genuine? Because I've been here before, I know what to expect. I'm very excited to see who my real friends will be in this season as Joann and I step out of the boat to REACH out for a LOST generation.
Here's what you can do for us…
1) Please continue to pray for us.
2) Become a volunteer this summer . (CLICK HERE FOR APPLICATION)
3) Become a Life Partner & give to our cause by logging onto www.condreyevangelisticassociation.org
4) Get the word out! All youth leaders, get ready for an awesome 2 week camp experience that will be FREE to you! Registration is in 2 weeks-
My first day at our Exodus youth campaign office will be Tuesday May 28 , 2013….
Let me take this moment to say THANK YOU for your prayers, your love, your support. But now I also challenge you to walk away from it all to do the work of "the ONE who has sent YOU"! What is it that our Father God is calling you to do??? Give Him a REAL YES! For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mark 8:36
Would love to hear from you personally, and thank you for your prayers –
I Love u Much!!! – Cory Condrey
Personal Email: email@example.com
P.S. Remember to call in for Prayer on Demand (530) 881-1399 Access Code 693369#

UCSF Benioff Children's refuses to act on case of 6-month-old on life support
UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland (Calif.) said Sept. 17 it transferred a patient to an unnamed facility after officials decided not to take action to remove the infant from life support, The Mercury News reports.
Six-month-old Kingston Holmes was admitted to the hospital after suffering a severe brain injury from cardiac arrest Aug. 5. Since the injury, Kingston has been using a machine to help him breathe.
However, Kingston's parents reportedly received a letter from the hospital stating officials planned to turn off the machines keeping the infant alive at 1 p.m. Sept. 17.
Protesters arrived at the scene Sept. 17 urging the hospital to delay any action on the case, the report states.
A UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland spokesperson told The Mercury News in a prepared statement the hospital would not speak about the child's specific care circumstances, citing patient privacy laws.
"As in all situations in our hospital, the decision to limit or withdraw life support is not taken lightly. From the time a patient enters the hospital, our clinical teams work with families to discuss the patient's care planning, prognosis, chance of survival, and opportunity for second opinions and transfer to another hospital," the statement read. "At the same time, every effort is made to allow the family time to grieve, while still recognizing that certain patients are, unfortunately, sent to us in such grave condition that they will not benefit from additional care."
However, the spokesperson said in a follow-up statement Sept. 17 that the hospital transferred Kingston to another facility at the family's request.
"While we are not able to provide further details, our hearts are with the family," the statement said.

Does anyone find that their lunch can quite easily become monotonous? The same thing day in and day out. Same sandwiches, same couscous, same crisps, and same fruit. Well I am fed up of eating exactly the same thing everyday, so today I decided to venture out of my comfort zone and get a salad from Boots. Okay, that doesn't sound too exciting when I put it like that, but this salad is something special.
It is a Moroccan style roasted vegetable salad with couscous and a delicious dressing to go with it. It is vegan as it surprisingly contains no animal products! I thought that there may have been honey in the dressing but no, thankfully not!
The vegetables in this are perfectly roasted, they are soft and smoky in flavour, I particularly enjoyed the butternut squash that was in it because it added a lovely sweetness to it.
There was a good variety of texture from the different salad vegetables, like the fresh, crispy lettuce and the crunchy steamed green beans.
The couscous itself was quite mild in flavour with a slight spice to it, this was enhanced by the lovely dressing which came with it.
Overall I absolutely loved this salad and it is only 145 calories! It is very filling and leaves you feeling very satisfied, plus it is in the meal deal so you can get a yummy snack and refreshing drink to go with it!
Rating - 9.5/10
Vegan - Yes
Calories - 145
Buy Again? - Definitely!

Measures changes in the selling prices producers charge for goods and services, and well as tracks how prices feed through the production process. Because producers tend to pass on higher costs to consumers as higher retail prices, the PPI is valuable as an early indicator of inflation. Simply put, inflation reflects a decline in the purchasing power of the Dollar, where each dollar buys fewer goods and services. The report also gives insight into how higher prices from raw materials flow toward the final product.
A rise in PPI signals an increase in inflationary pressures. Given the economic instability associated with rising price levels, the Fed often will raise interest rates to check inflation. A low or falling PPI is indicative of declining prices, and may suggest an economic slowdown.
The headline figure is expressed in percentage change of producer price.
Notes: The PPI records prices at various stages of production: raw goods, intermediate goods and finished goods. Though intermediate and crude goods prices do provide insight for future inflationary pressure, it is the price of finished goods that generates most interest for market participants. The finished goods data is able to gauge price pressure before the goods reach the retail market.hide

The percentage of individuals in the labor force who are without a job but actively seeking one. A higher Unemployment Rate is generally a drain on the economy. Not only does it mean that resources are not being fully utilized, but it also results in lower consumer spending as there are fewer workers receiving paychecks.
Note: The unemployment rate generally moves slowly, so changes of only a few tenths of a percent are still considered significant. Also note that the unemployment rate does not account for discouraged workers. Therefore, in an economically depressed environment, such as that which occurred in Cold War era East Germany, the Unemployment Rate may not accurately reflect the extent of problems.
High unemployment translates into lower average wages and reduced consumer spending. As consumer spending is the majority of total expenditure, rising unemployment often leads to slow economic growth. In addition, high or rising unemployment puts downward pressure on interest rates and leads to a depreciating Franc.hide

A survey of the current state of the business sector in Australia . Based on a survey of hundreds of small and large sized companies, the National Australia Bank delivers monthly comprehensive quarterly reports.
This comprehensive survey primarily provides insight into the state of the Australian economy and puts forth leading indicators that signal its future direction. Thus the survey's findings, if unexpected, have the power to move markets directly.
The National Australia Bank releases both a monthly and quarterly report. The quarterly report is more comprehensive, surveying around 1000 small to large non-farm firms. The quarterly report provides greater detail on the data as well as a short to mid-term outlook of Australia . Because of seasonal volatility and government protections the survey only excludes the farm sector.hide

The Economy Watchers Survey asks business-cycle sensitive workers their thoughts on existing and future economic conditions, giving a detailed picture of economic trends in Japan . The survey is based on questionnaires from 'man on the street' sectors that are particularly vulnerable to business cycle turns. These segments of the economy include sectors such as retail, restaurant service and taxi driving. With this combined data the Japanese Eco Watchers report serves as both a consumer confidence indicator and a leading indicator for the rest of the economy. The report is usually released less than two weeks after the reporting month, thus its statistics are usually very timely. The headline number is released where 50 represents the center midpoint line of boom/bust sentiment.hide
