Harbinger Down stars perpetual fan-favorite Lance Henriksen, and is about a group of grad students who come across a seemingly abandoned frozen ship while researching a pod of whales. The DVD/Blu-Ray drops on 7 August 2015.
The team behind it created the practical effects for the reboot of Carpenter's The Thing, which were later replaced almost entirely with CGI. Due to this, the duo in charge decided to successfully kickstart an all-practical effects movie, and Harbinger Down was born.

My grateful thanks to the fourteen club members who, between them, contributed an impressive 217 prints and 13 photoboards that filled the exhibition room in Selsey Town Hall from the 23rd to the 27th August. The quality of the photographic work on display clearly impressed our 530 visitors over the five days, which included a number who came to the private viewing session on the Wednesday evening. The audio-visual presentation, once again so expertly compiled by Bryan Whittle to include a whole season's worth of high scoring digital images, also attracted many favourable comments. Overall this was a very successful summer exhibition - clearly our best yet !!
Here are some of the comments recorded by our visitors:
"Very impressed" , "Excellent" , "Great images" , "Well done" , "Great Exhibition" , "Wonderful", "Brilliant - Thank you" , "Very good as usual" , "Stunning work - thank you" , "Well done all"
I would particularly like to thank the stalwart team of members who worked tirelessly setting up the exhibition throughout Wednesday, meeting & greeting visitors over the five days, dismounting everything and transporting the display boards back to Martin's garage.
Once again we decided to drop the entry charge to the exhibition and replace it with a voluntary raffle in which visitors could choose to pay £1 for an opportunity to win their favourite print. This certainly proved very popular with 250 tickets sold over the five days. The winning ticket, drawn on Monday afternoon by Arts Dream Selsey's Jan Bush, belonged to Liz Hall of Brighton who had chosen print No 32 "Moving (2)" (taken by Dave Johnson).
Two factors contributed to the overall success of this year's exhibition. Opening for five days clearly helped with visitor numbers, but collaborating with members of Arts Dream Selsey, who exhibited and demonstrated paintings, drawings and quilting in the main hall and council chamber, certainly ensured that both exhibitions benefited from one another's visitors. My grateful thanks therefore to JanBush and her colleagues for their support and for working with us on the advertising and promotion of what turned out to be a five-day arts "extravaganza"

Howdy, friends — Ken here. Thanks for dropping by my site. I hope your visit is beneficial.
As my other bios say, I'm a "well-fed family man" living in Tulsa, OK. During the day, I work in content marketing for Brookside Studios. I'm active in the Tulsa music scene as well as the Tulsa Jewish community.
This site is the home of my writings on some of my favorite subjects — intentional living, contentment, and pragmatic spirituality for everyday life.
Even though spirituality and Jewish religious practice are cornerstones of my daily life, I recognize a need for pragmatic spirituality over heady trips or dogmatic edicts. My hope is that my spiritual writings contain applicable practices from which anyone can benefit — regardless of religious affiliation. I'll leave the loftier philosophies or legalistic works to their experts. I'm more interested in where-the-rubber-meets-daily-life spirituality.
Another aspect of my writing that has taken off in recent years is intentional living on a wider scale — contentment, minimalism, and essentialism — "the disciplined pursuit of less." A good amount of my writings delve into how we can accomplish more with less stuff — fewer material possessions and less emotional baggage. Other aspects of these writings cover how to optimize our lives in order to be the the versions of ourselves.
My hope is not that you see me as an authority, but rather as a peer — a fellow student of life. If you find some of my experiences helpful, I'm glad to be of service. I don't have all of the answers, but I'm happy to share some of the lessons I've learned in life and in my studies.

Robert Plant 2.0
Forget about that fake Zep Reunion!
URGH has the next best thing: the exclusive musings of Robert Plant, filtered through the exciting "Web 2.0" website Twitter!
Yes, thanks to modern technology, you can have the peerless, mystic insights of Led Zeppelin all at one address, instant messaged to you, or even sent to your cell phone!
Even if you don't take advantage of all that the 21st Century has to offer, you have to admit: Plant is at least as amusing and necessary as Fake Steven Wright.
More Icky Than Thump
Meg White seems to all but campaign for a stylistic comparison to Led Zeppelin's dear, departed Bonzo. It's especially obvious on the White Stripes's current "Icky Thump" single, which contains a concentrated dose of your weekly recommended dosage of "Black Dog" drum fills.
Even so, I'm surprised Pitchfork snatched Meg's bait and unloaded a double-whammy dis—on both Meg and Bonham!
Meg White once again puts the lie to the theory that John Bonham like totally made Led Zeppelin bro, squeezing the most from her limited repertoire and unsteady tempo …
And that's supposed to be a compliment!
I'm not sure which is worse: Meg White making John Bonham look bad? Or Meg White making Jason Bonham look good!

Fireplace installation – is it worth the investment?
When it comes to upgrading interior aesthetics, there are many details you need to focus on. If you are keen on going for a cosy living room look, one that provides you with that comfortable feel as soon as you step inside, perhaps it's time to consider installing a fireplace.
Once you browse through a few home and decor magazines or sites, you'll see that the majority of stylish homes incorporate a beautiful fireplace. However, because each home remodel or addition comes with certain financial requirements, before deciding to pursue one project or another, you need to first establish whether the benefits outweigh the costs.
Gas fireplaces have become the preferred option here, so you'll probably decide on a model that fits within this category. But what exactly can a gas fireplace offer? What benefits make your investment worth it here? Take a look at some of the aspects determining homeowners to install their own gas fireplace:
Boosts the visual appeal of the place
Let's start with what usually draws the most attention and that is the aesthetical boost this type of home addition guarantees. The visuals of your interior design will be immediately improved, once you have a fireplace installed. This item gives any room character and makes the interior design look far more inviting.
While usually, fireplaces are installed in lounge settings and living rooms, the great thing about gas options is that they are versatile and can be easily added to any space. This means, if you want a fireplace in your master bedroom you have the possibility to add one there as well. One thing remains certain, regardless of how your interior looks like at the moment, it will look much better with a fireplace, this functioning as an attractive focal point.
Provides an intimate, cosy setting
Sitting in front of the fire on a cold evening, sipping some tea or a glass of wine will certainly make lazy days feel far more enjoyable. A fireplace is the type of element that can instantly create an intimate and cosy setting you can enjoy together with your significant other.
It's important for your home interior to offer you that comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, and with this type of addition, you'll benefit from a warm ambiance. Couples in particular love the romantic vibes a fireplace ensures, so if you want to have the perfect spot for a "dreamy escape" with your loved one, this is the type of home improvement project to opt for.
An alternative heat source
While you will probably not rely on a fireplace to keep your entire house warm during winter season, it can provide you with a reliable alternative heat source. This element certainly adds warmth to any setting, and in the eventuality of electricity being out, with a fireplace you'll still have a source of heat until things are fixed. For a spacious living room, fireplace installation can matter, making it easier for the warmth to spread out throughout the entire area.
Easy to use
While the traditional fireplaces you would get back in the day were a bit more difficult to use, and some of today's models running on wood might still be inconvenient for the common homeowner, gas fireplaces don't raise any concerns here. All you need to do is click a switch or press a button, and the fire will be started – no effort from your part whatsoever. Finding, stacking and splitting logs won't be something you are required to do if you go for a fireplace running on gas, and there won't be any ashes to clean afterwards. In terms of convenience, you can't find any downsides to a gas fireplace.
It's energy efficient
This type of fireplace is also known to be energy efficient. Because it provides you with an alternative heat source, it might allow you to cut down on some of your utility bills. It's also far more advantageous in this department than other models available on the market. So in the long run, a gas fireplace will provide you with cost-saving opportunities.
Style variety
Since one design won't suit all interiors, there's a wide selection of fireplace styles available in the marketplace. It's highly important to choose the right size for the space where it will be installed, in order for the heat to actually be felt across the entire room. The dimensions and specific style details of the fireplace will also influence how visually-coordinated your entire interior decor is. Check out different models, try to picture how a specific style would look like in the room you want to install it, and decide on the option that draws your interest most.
Boosts home value
Last but not least, you shouldn't forget about the boost in home value this type of interior addition might ensure. A fireplace is often considered a luxury upgrade, so in terms of home value, it contributes to how much you can ask for the property, if you intend to sell it. Fireplaces have always been an alluring feature, and someone who's hunting for their dream home is more likely to pay the price you're asking for, if you have one or several fireplaces installed. So, if you ever decide that you want to sell your house, you will certainly get quite the appealing return on your initial investment, and you'll attract far more potential buyers.
Whenever you are making improvements around the house or considering certain additions, it's important to assess potential benefits from the start, in order to decide whether the investment is worth making or not. Considering how much a fireplace contributes to your interior aesthetics, but its functionality as well, installing one in your home might be a wise choice. Look over all of these factors, and you can easily reach a conclusion. With a fireplace in your living room, you'll start enjoying the space more than you have until now.

Magic (or Magick, as it is sometimes spelled, in order to distinguish it from stage magic) is a word fraught with dubious connotations. It summons up images of robed figures, surrounded by clouds of incense, standing within magical circles, and conjuring demons to do their bidding.
Even in the magical system that has achieved widest renown, that of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, magic is associated with complex Qabbalistic rituals, Egyptian god forms, and arcane tools and talismans. Such things are sure to send the average good citizen scurrying in the opposite direction, as quickly as possible. Even for those who are inclined toward the esoteric and spiritual, magic remains the preserve of a few self-chosen magi who have a strong attraction to the arcane. Still, there are no lack of books presenting magical systems. Dion Fortune, W.E. Butler, Aleister Crowley, Israel Regardie, William Grey, Franz Bardon, David Griffin, and others have authored numerous tomes to whose teachings one could easily devote a lifetime.
Why, then, should we pay any attention to yet another book called Introduction to Magic? The answer is that this new work in hand is unlike any other book on magic previously published, as difficult as that may be to believe.Julius Evola, the principal contributor to Introduction to Magic, is a figure of some controversy within esoteric circles. Born in 1898, the vital years of his twenties and thirties coincided with Fascism's reign in Italy, and Evola's stance toward Fascism – although critical and adversarial at times – was sufficiently positive to make him persona non grata in liberal European circles. However, as tempting as it may be to dismiss past historical figures according to present value judgments, Evola deserves to be judged on his own terms, in his own time.
With that in mind, let us take a closer look at the magical system put forth in Introduction to Magic. Introduction to Magic is the first of three volumes collecting articles from the Italian esoteric journal UR, published between 1927 and 1929. Evola was the journal's foremost author, but he was joined by prominent figures in the Italian esoteric scene, such as Arturo Reghini, Giulio Parese and Ercole Quadrelli. All of UR's writers published under pseudonyms, for the stated reason that "their individual selves count for nothing, because everything valid they can offer now is not of their own creation or devising, but instead reflects a collective and objective teaching."1 This harks back to such seminal works as the Rosicrucian Manifestoes, or the more recent Meditations on the Tarot, whose authors chose anonymity so as not to distract from the message of their texts.
The message of the UR Group was as follows: there is a capacity inherent in Man to raise consciousness above the call of the body and the distractions of the mind; a capacity that can lead to an immortal awareness. The means to this awareness is through a rigorous discipline wherein the transitory ego is shed, and the individual consciousness is wedded to the Eternal. In so doing, one passes beyond the conventional notions of Good and Evil, to a place where, in Gustav Meyrink's words, only "truth" and "falsehood" exist. To know this is not a matter of intellectual knowledge, but of spiritual experience, i.e. of gnosis.
Introduction to Magic doesn't merely describe this system, but offers meditative techniques that can lead to the concrete acquisition of the consciousness it describes. In so doing, accounts are offered of what one will encounter – accounts that have the strong ring of truth. In other words, the UR Group was sharing knowledge based on their own experience, not just generalisations or suppositions. And here we approach the core of the UR Group's unique approach, which raises important questions. Most other magical systems presuppose an "other", be it God or gods and goddesses, to which the magus pays homage or, at least, subordinates his operations. The tendency of the ego to usurp the expanding consciousness, is conventionally kept in check by the reminder of the ego's diminutive stature in relation to the Divine. The UR approach de-emphasises such "others," focusing instead on the transcendence of the ego by a greater impersonal Self which may itself become Divine. This admittedly dangerous operation requires a resoluteness of will that cannot be abandoned. As "Abraxas" (Quadrelli) notes: "Once you have begun, you must go all the way, since an interruption leads to a dreadful reaction, with the opposite result. You can easily understand why: at every step you take, an increasingly higher quantity of swirling energy is arrested and pushed upstream; having been excited and provoked, it is filled with tension. As soon as you give up, it will come crashing down upon you and sweep you away."2
Obviously, this is an approach that will appeal to very few. And the UR Group's philosophy assumed as much. Quadrelli described the difference between the vast majority of mankind and the initiated few who followed such a path: "On this side are ignorant people, lacking Knowledge, pale, passive, intoxicated, whose lives are still outside and on this side of the Waters. On the other shore you will find virile men, heroic souls, awakened to disgust, to revolt, to the Great Awakening; having left one shore behind, they dare face the current and the undertow, being led by their ever more firm, unshakable will. Once there, they are known as 'Survivors of the Water,' 'Walkers on the Waters,' the 'Holy Race of the Free,' 'The Conquerors,' 'The Lords of Life and Salvation,' 'The Radiant Ones.' They are the 'Dragon slayers,' the 'Dominators of the Bull,' 'Consecrated to the Sun,' those who have been transformed through Ammon's power and Wisdom."3. In defining such a gap between the many and the few, the UR Group implied a spiritual hierarchy that Evola was to elsewhere define explicitly. Taking his lead from Hinduism, Evola affirmed the value of a traditional caste system, (typically composed of the castes of Priest-ruler, aristocratic warrior, merchant, and worker). Society should be ruled by those of the highest spiritual attainment, with all others finding their proper places in the social hierarchy. Such sentiments stand in stark contrast to the modern conception of democracy, which assumes the right of every individual to an equal voice in the direction of society. Evola was still working out these ideas at the time of the UR Group project, and his increasingly uncompromising defense of "Tradition" was one factor in the group's fragmentation after only three or four years of collaboration. Western Magic & Hermeticism
The magic of the UR Group, however, is wholly Hermetic. There would seem to be two reasons for this. First, the leading UR members, particularly Evola and Reghini, were proponents of a return to Roman and Greek tradition. Evola considered "Hermetico-alchemical knowledge" to be "the most direct and legitimate link to the unique, primordial Tradition."7 The preoccupations and values of Judaism and Christianity run perpendicular to pagan values of heroism, strength, and honour.
Second, in its stated goal of self-Deification, the UR teachings had little use for the concept of Deity, beyond that of a potential within certain favoured individuals. The UR work gives high value to Transcendence, but it is the transcendence of the initiate over the pull of earthly bonds, of the supra-human over the merely human. Thus the UR teachings have far more in common with Nietzsche or with Buddhism, than with the Judaeo-Christian religions with their subordination before an external God. Nevertheless, the UR Group didn't narrow its cosmology to the sort of psychological reductionism that sees God or the gods as symbolic figures thrown up by the Collective Unconscious or as mere person-ifications of human capacities. Various essays in Introduction to Magic refer to Beings, entities, and forces that the Magus may encounter along the path. But these are conceptualised as manifestations of two polarising tendencies within the Cosmos: non-human forces that lead either to a degenerative Chaos or to a higher Order. The initiate, according to the UR Group, must distinguish between the two and align himself only with energies and intelligences leading toward the higher Self.
While Evola and the UR Group placed themselves on the side of Order and high spiritual aspirations, their goal of human Deification led them to see conventional mystical notions, such as "merging with the One" or submission of the Ego to God, as manifestations of a downward pull leading the individual away from his ascent to the Divine. In one essay, Evola appropriates René Guénon's concept of the "counter-initiation" in characterising Theosophy, Spiritualism, and other "sentimental" movements as "Satanic" impulses. This is highly ironic in that the UR perspective has more than a passing resemblance to the so-called Satanism of the contemporary Temple of Set. According to Stephen E. Flowers, "the ultimate aim of Setian philosophy is an active, aware and potent state of relative immortality for the isolate, individual psyche. This is achieved through a system of magic…"8 This is not the time or place to enter into a discussion of whether the Setian definition of the "individual psyche" has more in common with the accepted notion of the ego or with the UR Group's divinised Self. Suffice it to say that both systems aim at the willed immortality of the initiate, independent of the body, and in contradistinction to the "right-hand path" of mainstream religion or mysticism.
The perspective put forth in Introduction to Magic, and by Evola in his other writings, raises the question of whether gnosis, (or awakening or liberation, as it is usually referred to in the book) only occurs within the familiar framework of morality. Most mystical and esoteric paths counsel a fidelity to the moral values of the religions of which they are expressions. The saints or mystics who are the exemplars of such paths are generally praised for their piety, compassion, and self-sacrifice; the implication being that spiritual awareness goes hand in hand with "goodness." The Buddhist figure of the Bodhisatva, who vows to continue to incarnate until all beings have been liberated, as well as the figure of Jesus Christ, who Christian dogma tells us "died for our sins," are the accepted models for earnest spiritual seekers. Evola and the UR Group fly in the face of such norms. Their magical system makes almost no mention of how a would-be magus should comport himself towards others. There are no exhortations to live for the sake of others or to help those who are less advantaged. There are only repeated statements of the need for courage, steadfastness, clear vision, and singleness of purpose on the magical path. Time and again, the reader is reminded of the relativity of "Good and Evil" from the vantage point of the accomplished initiate. At best, the UR system might be characterised as morally neutral, at least by conventional standards.
Yet it is clear from the authority of the book's instructions, and the first-person accounts that are included, that the members of the UR Group achieved heights of consciousness that bear the mark of gnosis. Here was a group of Italian esotericists whose loyalties lay with ancient Rome, who were associated with the extreme Right, and who considered the majority of the human race to be asleep and worthy only of being led by an enlightened few. Could it be that they developed a potent system for the advancement of spiritual awareness that works? This is the challenge that Introduction to Magic raises for its readers and which each reader will have to answer for himself.

Corporal Michael Marriott died during operations in Sarawak, Borneo.
Extract from the Birmingham Daily Post
"Cpl. Michael Marriott aged 21, whose home is at Langer Lane Chesterfield and who was killed in action against Indonesian terrorists in Sarawak on New Year's Day, died gallantly his parents were told yesterday.
In a letter to his parents Capt. J. P. Gardiner of the Royal Marines described how a patrol of marines was outnumbered by 100 terrorists. Corporal Marriott took charge and fired a great many shots and so attracted the enemies fire to himself. By doing this he probably saved the lives of many others."
A further tribute was added by CpL Marriott's commanding officer Lt. Col. J. F. Parsons, who wrote: "Your son did his job very gallantly. He helped to break an enemy gang and restore peace to that part of Sarawak."
Cpl. Marriott joined the Marines when he left school, and was hoping to obtain a commission. A few hours before a telegram announcing his death arrived at his Chesterfield home, his parents received a letter from Cpl. Marriott telling them that after spending Christmas on patrol he was looking forward to leave in Singapore."

When I listened to the interview you posted with Caroline Hinton, your suggestion to get her health in line first really hit home for me. In addition to that, hearing you speak of knowing our values and aligning our goals to our values has been hammered into my head. You've talked about values in the Sunday Insiders, most of the FREE material you give away, and especially in the Millionaire Mindset sessions.
I really didn't have a clue what my real values were before listening to your material. I thought they were one thing, but in doing the exercises, it was apparent they were not. I thought health and fitness was high on my values list. I've been lying to myself on this one and it explains a lot of frustration on why I wasn't in better shape. One honest look in the mirror should have told me it wasn't high on my list (it was number 9).
While I started this journey with you to help my trading, what I'm finding is so much beyond that. If I work on myself (starting with my values) everything about me changes. The ripple effects are enormous. I wanted to get myself healthier and in shape and changing my value on this has helped. You've taught how to change our values and I've been applying that training. Additionally, I've been reading The Values Factor by John DeMartini as you suggested. What an incredible book! I'd recommend this book to anyone.
I linked getting in shape with some of my higher values. Exhortation is something I love doing any chance I get. Knowing that, I took before and after pictures so I could post them on a Facebook support page for juicing. Sharing my results helped some others stick to their goals. Since I need more discipline in my trading, I promised myself I would complete a 19 day juice fast to build personal discipline. I promised myself I would not deviate from the juice fast and if I could do this, I then build a foundation to help me in my trading discipline. Hence, this fast would help me in my trading to become more profitable. I saw the link.
I successfully finished the 19 day juice fast and dropped 17.4 pounds. I feel incredible and I've got more energy than ever. The way I see myself has also changed. Being in shape improves my self esteem. Having a better self esteem has ripple effects into other areas and values.
What's been really great is being able to keep the weight off. On Thanksgiving Day, I only had one regular sized plate of food. I didn't care to have seconds and thirds as most end up doing on this day. I was really happy to easy eat one plate and not care for another. I used internal questions to like, "Why do I want to be healthy?", "How will I feel if I eat another plate of food?", etc. I also attached more pain to eating a second plate than the temporary pleasure it would give me. Redirecting pain and pleasure choices is huge!
I could go on and on but I'll close with this…. Thank you so much for the quality information you present. If anyone doubts that understanding your values is important and isn't really spending the time on this area, they're making a big mistake. Changing your values can change your life!

We met at age 5 in kindergarten. We remained friends all through elementary school, junior high and high school. In our senior year, Larry experienced a life transformation by connecting with God. He invited me to go to church with him, and I experienced the same transformation. Our lives were forever altered. After high school we went our separate ways, and moved on with our lives.
Fourty-six years later we reconnected.
A few years prior to our reconnection, I had experienced another, completely different spiritual awakening. As part of this awakening, I was able to go into deep meditation and experience altered states and dimensions. Oddly, Larry had come to me in one of this meditations and I realized he came to help me heal my issues with the toxic masculine energy I had faced most of my life. The healing was wonderful.
Little did I know that this energy I was experiencing in my altered dimensions during meditation was reaching him. Out of the blue, we contacted me on Facebook and suggested we get together. I was blown away and knew that we had to meet.
We met. We got off to a rough start. But, we kept moving ahead. We both knew that something unusual, and spiritual was at work and we kept talking. After a few weeks we both knew that our relationship was being Divinely orchestrated. I began to understand that we were Twin Flames, and I started sending him information about it. It didn't take long for our to come to understand that we were indeed, Twin Flames. Even more interesting, is that we are both born within two weeks of each other, within a mile of distance. We are both Gemini's and the power of that along with our Twin Flame union is very profound.
We are now together on our journey. Learning from each other. Opening to the unconditional love of two equal spiritual souls that have come together to help each other heal and then go to work to fulfill our mission.
We are in the healing stages, where we are mirroring issues for each other and growing leaps and bounds spiritually. We have a a motto for our future:
"May the rest of our lives be the best of our lives."
Since we are both Gemini's we are communicators. Larry likes to take photos and play with words, and I am a creative spirit, who loves to write. We both are highly empathetic, intuitive and visionary. We have started this website to share our story and our inspirations along this unique journey.

News and Blog
On Monday, July 11, 2011, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a press release and several other communication materials on its website to announce the first of what is expected to be numerous proposed rules andregulations regarding Insurance Exchanges – marketplaces established by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Affordable Care Act) that are designed to give individuals and small businesses more choice when it comes to health coverage. For some individuals, coverage purchased through an Insurance Exchange may be more affordable due to subsidies that may be available based on household income levels.
The proposed rules are entitled Establishment of Exchanges and Qualified Health Plans and Standards Related to Reinsurance, Risks Corridors and Risk Adjustment.
Additionally, on Wednesday, July 6, 2011, HHS issued a fact sheet that announced the results of its review of state health insurance rate review processes to determine whether a state's process is effective as stipulated in the final rule regarding rate review. HHS determined that 40 states and territories have an effective rate review process for both individual and small group market segments. The Federal government will perform the rate review in the remaining states and territories for the applicable market segment – or partner with the state to perform such a review – until the state or territory develops an effective rate review process.
HHS determined that the State of Tennessee has an effective process in both theindividual and small group market segments. Therefore, the reviewing authority for rates filings in Tennessee will be the state.

Because Even Run-D.M.C. Knew When Not to Keep It Gully.
I chose to showcase this song, and others, because of a brief conversation I had with a close friend of mine, Perri, via Facebook wallpost. He said that he felt it was a good year for Hip-Hop; I agreed, only because it became less dependent on guntalk and refamiliarized itself with artistry and lyrical dexterity.
But being the native New Yorker that I am, I did find a window for my complaints: Despite "H.E.R." divergence from gunplay, she seems to have instinctively fallen into the arms of materialism. But just for the sake of Perri's argument, here are some recent songs that I felt push Hip-Hop/Rap in a better direction and are strong indications of a bright future:
First up…
Lupe Fiasco's "The National Anthem" from the highly listenable "Enemy of the State: A Love Story" mixtape. Lupe sociopolitically raps:
"So when I want them to hear me out/ I just sit them next to some pictures of Rosa splitting with her titties out/ And what's written on her titties is what it's really about/ Then her vagina is some poor kids from China/ Nipples nuclear missiles/ Ass is a daughter without a dad/ Back is like Afghanistan, Iraq/ Health care hair, Drive-by thighs/ Education lips, HIV eyes/ Environment feet/ Justice get her so wet, brains get you brains/ You can fuck her if you protest…"
Big Sean's "Supa Dupa" off of the "UKNOWBIGSEAN" mixtape. This is one of my favorite song on the list, Big Sean playfully but egostically raps:
"I am a supa, dupa, troopa/ Used to the bottom – scuba/ So I'm on the grind – skateboard or scoota/ 'Til I am the king of my castle – Koopa/ Dawg I took a shot in the dark in an industry of sharks/ That's surrounded by water – Cuba/ I can make an Einstein's mind feel stoopa/ And I can make an insecure bitch feel supa/ Realest nigga eva – Kunta Kinte/ Ultra – master, super – sensei/ Dawg, in the ninth inning/ We're just trying to hit a homer – Marge/ Comprende? Hard – al dente/ MJ – Jordan or Jackson/ Only difference is, I ain't fucking with these kids/ Sean – Big/ A problem too big – Trig/ You niggas ain't shit – Pissed? – tsk tsk"
After that…
Charles Hamilton, Asher Roth & B.o.B.'s "A Change Gon' Come" (Which can be found on "Mr. Peter Park: Asher Roth's Day Off"). Featuring three members of XXL's "The Freshman 10", the song makes wonderful use of a Sam Cooke classic. Here are some provoking bars from Charles & Asher:
Charles Hamilton:
"Prisoner to my cerebellum/ so I reach out to the listeners/ And my mission is I better tell'em/ Our fear of a free mind is here and your spirit can die/ And anytime you need to cry so you hide it deep inside/ Reason why, how can you change what was written/ Easy, don't focus your brain on what they mentioned/ I got so used to tryin' to make due/ I feel like I'm cheatin' when I'm faced with a breakthrough/ The man in the mirror keeps sayin' I hate you/ I respond like little nigga I made you/ Slay those sayin' they can break you/ So when I take a break I go ape Come back and play fool/ When they think they won that's when I crush them/ Change is eminent I evolve so it's nothing/ What's the discussion?… Charles Hamilton"
Asher Roth:
"We've been pompous every since Columbus couldn't work a compass/ We've accomplished what we've conjured up while conscious/ And consciously we've conquered all the eye can see/ Constantly concocting more options but jobs are still obsolete/ It seems so odd to me an odyssey/
How honesty is honestly/ the rawest thing upon us it's astonishing/ How did all the honest people vanish from the planet?/ Leaving us a laundry list of problems to acknowledge/ While plotting with my phonics me and Sonic and B.o.B./ Nag Champa rises as I sit down and sketch my rhymes/ Stretch my mind, to figure out what's next in line/ The next Em, 'Ye, and André? Nah homie…its just been a longggg, a long time coming"
Fourth up…
Brooklyn's own Theophilus London's "Cold Pillow" (Featuring Jesse Boykins) from "This Charming Mixtape". I chose this song not for its lyrical prowess but for its soothing versatility. Theophilus is a very gifted MC but the song collectively has a greater impact than his lyrics alone. Theophilus is still relatively slept on for now but 2010 should be his breakthrough year.
Last but not least…
Wale's "90210", a track off the recently released off "Attention Deficit". This song is also a favorite of mine because it adapts the typical "urban-plight" rap to "upper class" Beverly Hills socialites, literally. Wale, almost disdainfully, raps:
"Just another day out in Beverly Hills/ She sing, model, and dance, but can't sit still/ Believing the screens or anything there/ But reality shows ain't real/ So pretentious with no potential/ She goes to catch up, although her rents up/ In her defense; she part of the crowd/ She gonna borrow some money/ So she can party at Chows/ It's apart of her goal/ It's all she knows/ Graduated from Rosé, addicted to blow/ Addicted to stardom, a wish to blow/ So she kisses the stars and gives them a blow/ After every show, a dream she hold/ Inhibition is gone, she just wanna be known/ She wanna be know, she just wanna be known/ Pulling down her skirt/ "I never done this before", Nah…"
Honorable Mentions:
1. Drake Feat. Lil' Wayne "Ignant Shit" (So Far Gone)
2. Pac Div "Pac Div" (Church League Champions)
3. Blu "Melo" (HerFavoritecolo(u)r.)
4. KiD CuDi Feat. Kanye West & Common Sense "Make Her Say" (Man on the Moon: End of Day)
5. Wiz Khalifa "Name on a Cloud" (Flight School)

With less than 24 hours OBV is appealing to all Black and Asian MP's to nominate Diane Abbott, for the Labour leadership.
We urge them to do so to ensure Ms Abbott receives the required 33 nominations to be on the final ballot paper. Just by being on the ballot paper Abbott will ensure the race and gender equality become key elements within the leadership debate.
Even if those MP's who nominate Diane went on to publicly vote and support another candidate the political point that race and gender matter would have been made.
Furthermore, it will demonstrate that a diverse group of Black and Asian MP's can come together, as a group, whenever necessary and speak with one voice. Black and Asian leadership will have taken a quantum leap forward.
Diane's chance has been given a boost by the possible withdrawal of John McDonnell MP, whose votes could transfer to Diane giving her a fighting chance.
Lets do something we often find difficult: show solidarity.

As hard as it is for me to grasp, there are admission professionals in the hallowed halls of highly selective colleges who think that high school students actually need another unified application system besides the CommonApp.
Admittedly, CommonApp opened itself to this initiative with poorly-timed technological problems which left students and colleges scrambling. In any case, in September a group of 8o colleges — including eight of the Ivy League and a number of highly selective institutions (colleges with a 6 year graduation rate of at least 70%)— announced that they would create a website with critical information about preparing for top colleges for younger high school students without access to knowledgeable guidance counselors. The website will also offer its own application process.
The colleges involved are keenly concerned about the talented underserved college-bound population who continue to fall through the cracks, a loss to all of us. While virtually all US colleges are diversified, the most competitive institutions find, as stated by David Leonhart in the New York Times, "For every student from the entire bottom half of the nation's income distribution at Dartmouth, Penn, Yale and Princeton and more than a few other colleges, there appear to be roughly two students from the top 5% [family income bracket]."
The Coalition for Access, Affordability, and Success seeks to address this concern with a website that answers students questions early, and a virtual "locker" where students can store graded papers, creative writing, awards, etc that are useful to the admissions process. As well, the website would offer an application portal for applicants to those colleges, and allow for those colleges to tailor their applications more to their needs than the CommonApp supplement questions do.
As an educational consultant working with students who typically apply to colleges in a range from those most selective to those less so, I see the potential of a very confusing set of options for these clients. Will it matter to the Coalition colleges if students apply to these institutions on the CommonApp? Should students apply to some colleges on the Coalition app and others on the CommonApp?
And, if the Coalition website will be truly useful, must we have yet another application program to go with it?

Good Wednesday, folks. Rounds of showers and thunderstorms are rolling across the state and will put down a ton of rain. This will lead to the increasing threat for high water issues through Thursday night.
For this reason, much of the region is under a Flood Watch:
Areas not in that watch need to also be on guard for some high water issues as the axis of heaviest rain continues to focus a little farther south. The new GFS is showing enough rain to cause some big issues:
This looks like a general 2″-4″ rainfall for many, but locally higher amounts may show up in some spots:
In addition to the flood threat, a few of the storms may become strong or severe. The SPC has a Marginal Risk out for the western half of the state:
Near record highs will crash from west to east behind the front Thursday night. Readings are in the 20s by Friday morning with a period of light snow and flurries working through.
The next system targets the region late this weekend into early next week. The models go back and forth on how to handle this, but the late day GFS trended colder:
Here are your tracking tools for the day:
Make it a great day and take care.

From time to time by blogging buddy Eden Riley and I are asked to go and talk to companies about social media and mummy blogging. We always arrange a time to do this around lunch, as you are then taken out to lunch. We are a bit of an odd couple at these things. I use words like outreach, trust capital and the like while Eden uses words like "Yeah – It is so awesome." and "Yeah man, so cool…"
We have such a session on today so Eden came and bunked at my place last night, so I have actually had a decent conversation with a grown up recently. Mr Woog comes home today. Thank god.
Anyway, we had both had a bit of a retail therapy session and were busy showing each other our purchases. I showed her a leopard print silk kimono jacket I had picked up from Seed and Eden showed me a black top, a black top, a black top with a grey stripe and another……. black top.
I jumped onto my computer and saw that our friend Liz had been nominated for something called a Bloggie. Now when I think of a bloggie, what springs to mind is something that might be shot out of one's nose with extreme velocity. But no. Eden told me is was the world's equivalent to a Blogging Oscar and we were delighted that she had been recognised. Liz is a top bird.
Then something else popped up. It seemed that I too, had been nominated along with 4 others as the Best Australian/New Zealand Blog.
Shut. The. Fuck. Up!
Eden got all excited and I kept asking her "What does it mean? I have never heard of them!"
Anyway, she assured me they were legit and a very big deal. I am only going to ask once.
In the vast universe of blogs, only a select few can be named the best. And that decision is now up to you. The original Weblog Awards are now in their twelfth year, and it's time to decide who is Bloggie-winning material. Who will your vote go to?

I am not messing with the decks again until I get the paddle wheel boxes done. THey will provide the additional reference points I need. I'm probably reading too much into it again, but I don't want to glue something down to find I was off a quarter inch..... Looking forward to your water line and hull painting post. I have a couple of days scheduled to work, so it may be next week before I get anything accomplished. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Agricultural System: Components, Linkages, and Rationale
The Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation commissioned Dr. Wayne Caldwell to develop a more robust definition of agriculture system and its component parts. The Agricultural System: Components, Linkages, and Rationale, identifies what is necessary for a well-functioning agricultural system and a viable agricultural industry. It allows municipal staff and others who interact with agricultural communities to better understand how their work impacts the functioning of the entire system, in turn affecting individual farmers.

The Dollars & Sense: Opportunities to Strengthen Southern Ontario's Food System study identifies ways Ontario can make changes to its food system to increase the supply of local food, create jobs, and support healthier lifestyles.
Encompassing the first research of its kind in Canada, the report, produced in partnership with the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation, the Metcalf Foundation, and the Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation, looks at a number of scenarios. Key findings include:
- Reducing the top 10 fruit and vegetable imports by 10 per cent and expanding local production would help create 3,400 jobs and boost the province's GDP by nearly a quarter billion dollars.
- Ontarians adopting a healthier diet leads to higher consumer demand for fruits, vegetables, and some grains. For example, if consumers moved to an ideal level of oat consumption in their diets, 241 jobs would be created and the province's GDP would grow by more than $14.2 million.
- Transitioning 10 per cent of food consumption to organic would improve farm incomes and reduce the environmental impact of food production, but require imports of many products unless local organic production was increased.

This report provides an overview of what is being done by the provincial and municipal governments to advance these objectives.Read more

Feasibility Study for a Establishing Local Food Initiative in Niagara and Hamilton
George Morris Centre Study – 3.41 MB
The agri-food industry is becoming increasingly competitive and global. Simultaneously, changing attitudes toward the environment, health and wellness, as well as viewing food as an experience rather than simply sustenance, are motivating consumers to reconnect with the source of the food they choose to consume, in order to verify its authenticity and overall value. A result of this trend is consumers' increasing interest in local food.

Water is Life Walk ~ Quinebaug River
July 16, 2015 – July 31, 2015
FROM: The Headwaters in Mashapaug Pond, Bigelow Hollow State Park in Union, CT
TO: The Convergence of Quinebaug River and Shetucket River in
The theme for the Water is Life Walks ~ Quinebaug River is the same theme of all the
walks, since 2011: "Ni guh Izhi chigay Nibi onji." ("I will do it for the water.") Josephine
Mandamin decided to walk, and others joined her and others are inspired by her to walk
for the SacredWater. Carole Blodgett is one of those that has been inspired and is been
Carole says, "Walking the Water is a healing prayer, every step is a prayer not just for
healing the water but for healing the broken connection between human beings and the
water that is the SOURCE OF ALL LIFE. We have forgotten the sacred nature of the water
as we have begun to see it as a RESOURCE to be bought and sold. The waters of the Last
Green Valley sustain the life of the human beings ~ the trees that hold the water within
the soil and provide the air we breathe ~ the foods that feed us, the animals that bring
beauty and balance to the forests, fields and farms ~ the animals that make our milk and
feed us all ~ and our children spend their first 9 months immersed in it."
This is an Indigenous lead Interfaith walk, for we all must come together now to heal the
SacredWater ~ we are seeing Water Wars throughout the US and the world ~ oil spills,
fracking, radiation contamination, GMO's and Chemical contamination are decimating the
SacredWater. If we do not know what is happening in and near our watershed we can not
protect the Source ~ nothing and No One lives without water.
We will gather the clear, clean waters of the headwaters, Mashapaug Pond, and we will
walk carrying the water every step of the way. Singing and praying for Nibi the
SacredWater of All Life. Our ancestors cut these waters in their dugout and birch bark
canoes from source to the sea with many portage trails alone the way! As we travel down
the river we will address the 16 dams along the river. Each dam obstructs the natural flow
of the water, the fish and wildlife needed to sustain a healthy river. Each dam creates a
catch-basin for pollutants and organic waste from the mills and communities upstream so
the pollution builds up as we go down the river.
You do not have to belong to a Tribal Nation for this to affect you ~ we where all born of
the water ~ all our children where born of the water and all our grandchildren will be born
of the water ~ if we do nothing WHAT KIND OF WATER will they spend those first 9
What can I do to help? SHOW UP ~ any time ~ any day ~ any where along the river.
Women come and Carry the Water, help with cooking, watch after the children.
1 ~ Open your home or yard to feed lunch or dinner to the walkers.
2 ~ Set up a watering station alone the road when we get to your town (NO
BOTTLED WATER PLEASE) all walkers will carry refillable water bottles.
3 ~ Donate firewood for the Sacred Fire.
4 ~ Plan an evening event and gather neighbors ~ you find the place and we will
come and share why we are walking.
5 ~ Prepaid gas cards for the follow car ~ carrying snacks and water, medical
6 ~ Contact us and we can let you know what we need that you can offer.
7 ~ If you can Click the DONATE button https://waterislifewalk.wordpress.com/donate/
your funds will pay for camp sites, food, firewood and gas for the support car that will

Today was one of those days that has left me really frustrated with myself. I like to think of myself as a nice person, but sometimes I have days that force me realize that I'm really not the person I want to believe myself to be.
I tend to be too judgmental, too controlling, too critical. I am often unkind, stingy, and impatient. I talk much more than I should, and I so often say things that I later regret (sometimes no sooner than the words are out of my mouth).
I make commitments time and again to listen better, to talk less, to be kinder and more generous and more tolerant. But if there is any change, it so often seems to be at a glacial pace.
The ironic thing is that I am so often tempted into this kind of behavior that I regret out of a desire for approval.
I make fun of someone in order to make someone else laugh and potentially like me more for being funny. I talk because I think I might impress someone with what I have to say. I am unkind because I'm more focused on doing some other task that seems more likely to gain approval from someone important. I manipulate because I think that people won't like me if I am direct about what I want or need. I tell my story (or give my opinion or share my thoughts) because I want to be seen and acknowledged after years of feeling invisible.
You'd think I'd learn that these strategies backfire on me every time, but I seem to forget that when I'm caught in the moment. Sometimes it feels like "Groundhog Day" as I keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again in only slightly varying ways.
There are times when I just want to give up on my efforts to be a better person when the improvements seem so long in coming, but I know that the cowardly way out. There's a reason why kindness is one of my words for this year!
"Courage doesn't always roar, sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow." ~Mary Anne Radmacher
So I am choosing to keep at it, and I will try again tomorrow.
A Note on Comments: A chrysalis is by nature a fragile and vulnerable place to be, so I am committed to keeping this a safe place for me and for my readers. Comments sharing your own journey, even if your experience is different from mine, are always welcome and encouraged. Expressions of support or encouragement are also welcome.

Great product for the price. Although the quality could be better. One of them which i ordered already got moldy. Nevertheless it works proberly. The size in water is about 7cm. I expected a bigger one. All in all i would buy it again.
2017-02-04 09:50:09
Arrived in good condition. I put it in a bowl with slightly warm water. It immediately started to open. I made a timelapse over about 17 hours of it opening up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY-UIlvPgqs

Resurrection plant arrived within time expected. It was smaller than I expected, but did come back to a gorgeous green after placing it in water. Love it,, only wish it were bigger.
2017-02-16 07:30:49
Two pieces arrived quickly. As the spring arrives slowly, I'll see if the plant will resurrect :)
2019-03-20 00:36:13
The plant will wake up if you put it in water. after 1 week it is recommendet to take off from water and let it dry again for at least 2 weeks. Really great plant we like it!
2017-05-20 06:29:44
fabuleux ! elle à repris vie en moins de 24 heures mais il faut la laissé sécher pendant une longue période après un bain sinon elle risque de pourrir
2017-05-20 02:50:14
green after two days, like it.
2018-01-18 09:26:08
Very easy. Open the plastic box, put the plant in water (1 cm. depth) and let it be. After 24 hours this is the develop: see the picture.

Sophie Turner attended the HBO 'Game of Thrones' Season 5 premiere at the San Francisco Opera House on Monday (March 23) in San Francisco, California alongside her castmates.
Like Maisie and Nathalie, Sophie's off-the-shoulder Chalayan Spring 2015 flirty frock was loaded with plenty of youthful, summery appeal.
Along with the print, I love the sculptural elements of this frock and its jagged hemline.
While I don't mind the white pumps, I would've preferred they had been off-white to stark white, as they almost dominate the look.
A Sophie Hulme maroon clutch, gold hooped earrings and a high bun rounded out Sophie's look.

How Helpful Is Term Insurance?
Term insurance is by far the most primitive and basic form of life insurance which provides the insurer life coverage for a specific term after which it needs to be renewed. It is also the most forthright and inexpensive of all the insurance policies.
While you are shopping for policies online, you may come across a lot of information that can get overbearing and confusing for starters. However, if you are wondering if term insurance can be beneficial to you, here are few pointers that can help you decide.
Is It Worth Investing in Term Insurance??
Term insurance policies can definitely be a great investment in case you have some kind of financial obligation like a mortgage, loans or higher studies for your kids. It is pretty affordable when compared to the other financial protection options and also provides a tax-free sum of money at the end of the term.
Apart from the obvious lump sum that these term insurance policies in India promise, here are a few benefits of investing in a term insurance plan.
#1. Duration of the Policy
In a term insurance, you can determine the term till which you want the policy to run. Suppose if a person retires at 60, he would want his term plan to extend till he turns 60 after which he would need the financial cushion to fulfil the financial obligations his family would incur in the absence of his income.
#2. Flexibility
This is perhaps the best benefit of investing in a term insurance. Here, you have the flexibility to opt for an online term insurance plan without much of a hassle and documentation. Most of the term insurance companies don't insist on health check-ups for policies with cover amount lesser or equal to INR 50 lakhs. Also, you can customize the term insurance policies with riders for additional protection without complicating the original plan to a great extent. The riders can be availed at a nominal cost to cover accidental death, partial or complete disability, critical ailments, premium waiving, and income benefits among many others.
#3. Low Premium and Claim Rejection Ratio
The premium amount associated with these term insurance policies are relatively lesser than the other kinds of insurance policies. You can get an INR 1 crore cover for a term policy of 30 years at around 8,500 if you started at the age of 30.
Also, the claim rejection ratio for these policies are relatively low and almost zero for those which have been active for 10 or more years. It is important for a policyholder to provide a full disclosure of his health and financials during the purchase of the policy to minimize the risk of claim rejection in the event of his death. A recent mandate by IRDA has however instructed that no policy can be rejected on the grounds of non-disclosure after two years of coming into effect.
#4. Adequate Financial Cover
Term insurance plans are not for those looking at a means of investment. However, if your aim is to secure your family financially, then these are the most effective means to do so. Depending on your age, financial conditions, and health, you can keep revising your cover as per your financial requirements and future obligations.
Does Term Insurance also have Tax Benefits?
While tax benefits should never be the primary driver behind opting for any insurance policy, term insurance is agreeably an efficient tax saving instrument. Here, both the death benefits and the premiums paid are exempt from tax under Sections 80C, 80D, and 10D of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
As per these, you get an exemption for around INR 1.5 lakhs per annum on premiums paid for you and your family. You would also be liable to a tax deduction of around 10% (15% in case the policy holder is suffering from any ailment or disability as listed under 80DDB of the IT Act) of the sum insured. The death benefit is also fully exempt from tax.
The Bottom Line
While term insurance is not a profit plan and can't provide you with a hedge against the growing inflation, it is definitely the best possible investment to secure your family financially in the event of your death at the most affordable price.

How long are car batteries supposed to last?
With so many cheapo batteries coming from China this is a hard question to answer. Not that long ago you could easily expect a car battery to last at least 3 years. Now with the discounted nasties from Asia some are lucky to last 12 months. It really does come down to the old adage – you get what you pay for! In Australia you can expect to get a 3 year warranty when you spend around $120 to $150. Most of these batteries are made in Australia and are well worth the money if you are keeping the car. Something to be aware of is car batteries last less time in colder climates. As a rule of thumb you can take off about 6 months for every 5 degrees colder your suburb is in Winter.
