Each month, we highlight a celebrity in a specific charity and have them talk about their work on behalf of their cause. This month,we speak with actor and musician Kevin Bacon, who has parlayed the concept of the popular "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" pop-culture game into a social-networking site that motivates people to be more charitable.
Q: What is Sixdegrees.org and when was it officially launched?
A: It was launched the 18th of January. It's a charitable site where anybody can go on and if there is anything that they read about or have some kind of an experience in their life that affects them and they're interested in making a donation or trying to find a way to help out, volunteer, etc., we'll guide them toward organizations that are supporting any cause. (There are) over a million causes, a million different charities that we have up on the site and (we) make it incredibly easy to donate and help out. It's as easy as buying something online at Amazon or whatever. The other thing you could do is, if you're interested in seeing what celebrities care about and are concerned about, we also have a pretty large and impressive group of well-known people and you can often make a donation to their causes. The third element of it is you could become a celebrity for your own cause and create what we call a badge, which is a little kind of card that adds you or a picture of you and links to organizations that you're supporting, and you could talk about why it means something to you.
Q: What inspired you to create this organization?
A: I was looking at the fact that that this kind of Six Degrees concept just seemed to come up again and again and again and again. People make reference to it all the time when they're talking about everything — business and sports and politics. People come up to me on the street and talk to me about it, and I was a point in my life where I was feeling like maybe I hadn't really done enough in my life, in terms of just giving back. I was looking at Paul Newman first, since he raised so much money with the fact that he just likes to cook and make salad dressing. I looked at the work that Bono and others have done. So I was thinking, at this next kind of chapter in my life, what do I have that I'm very much branded with, and the Six Degrees thing just seems to keep coming up.
So since I wasn't getting rich on it (laughs), I figured maybe there was a way for some kind of a force for good. I went to sixdegrees.org and saw that it was available, that I could obtain the actual domain. I did and then sat on it for a while and tried to think about what I was going to do with it, and how. It was kind of like the site came first and the actual structure of it came second. I started to talk to a lot of people that I'd run into and a lot of people who were involved in different kinds of philanthropy and publicists and agents and managers, and just started to formulate what this might be. I was lucky enough to partner with AOL and with Network For Good and we launched sixdegrees.org.
Q: What do you feel is special about this charity-benefiting Web site?
Video: Kevin Bacon on 'Frost/Nixon'
A:Well, when I looked Network For Good, which is basically our engine, they were sort of already doing what it was that I thought I was interested in doing — creating a place where people could take the things that they that they hear about or are concerned about and figure out a way to quickly help out. When I got in touch with them, they're telling me the amount of money that they they've raised which is, I don't know, over $100 million in just a year. I looked at the site and I said, well that's incredible, but it's also not what you would call an exciting Web site, you know? There's very little on it that that has any kind of razzmatazz. So, I think that this Six Degrees thing is much more kind of "cause celeb." It has a lot of cause celeb content. We live in such a celebrity-driven culture. People are constantly picking up a magazine to see what kind of car somebody drives, what kind of handbag they use or what restaurants they eat at. So why not also find out about the charities that they're supporting?
Q: What's your role with the organization?
A: I am the spokesperson for it certainly. I funded it initially to get it off the ground. I plan on being a part of it hopefully forever, and I plan on continuing to encourage people to go on and to give. Obviously, I have sort of a built-in "attract" element. People will talk to me. I can go on television shows and discuss it and they'll have me. There are so many charities and so it's kind of hard for the press to get their head around supporting one or another. But when you have a concept like this, that is kind of wide-sweeping, I think it's a little bit easier for people to get behind it. Also, just from an entertainment standpoint, it's kind of fun. People go "Oh, Six Degrees, yeah, that's fun" or "That's kind of cool."
I wanted to make it as easy as I could for other celebrities to get involved because I know what it's like to be on the other end of it. If you did everything that they asked you to as a well-known person, you would have to spend your entire life going to charity functions and donating money and showing up and singing praise or singing songs. I know that there's a lot of demand on people to interpret that and I wanted to create a place where I could make it as easy as possible. Aside from the money people will donate to charity, I've never asked anybody for any money to support the organization because there is nothing to support. I don't have any kind of ongoing costs or overhead, and whatever is there is covered by me. Nobody has to show up anywhere. All I need from the celebrities and from the "regular" people as well is just you fill out a form and tell us what it is that you care about. Tell us if there are any charities which support your cause, and we'll do the rest.
Q: I know that it's fairly new, but is there a moving experience that you've had because of Six Degrees that you'd like to share?

A: There's been so many that I should have gone on the site to really pick up a little thing. But I actually really love going on and reading about just regular people talking about personal experiences — you know, a family member who has cystic fibrosis or something that has affected them in some kind of personal way. It's all on there. I think there's a certain feeling of empowerment when you can get up there and post a plea for help from people. And it feels incredibly good to go on and give money. Going on and giving money, it's something that feels good to me.
Q: Do you regularly go on to the site?
A: Oh yeah, I do all the time because I am also interested in checking the ticker. I go on every day.
Q: Why should people become involved with sixdegrees.org?
A: Well, I think if you take me out of the equation, the idea of sixdegrees is a beautiful and a powerful one. It's something that's very much in the great geist of our culture now and I think that there's a certain reaction to the problems with the world and the problems with the environment. There are borders that are going up stronger and stronger and it feels like we're getting more and more divided. I think there's a reaction to that. We know that what happens to one of us affects somebody down the block and also on the other side of the world.
So often you know you pick up a newspaper and you feel a certain frustration about, you know, what can I do? How can I help? Americans are impressively generous as a culture and it' something we should certainly be proud of. I think the average family gives something like 3.2 percent of its income to some kind of charity. That's a pretty good number when you think about how many people are living below the poverty line. It is hard to let go of a buck. So it does feel good and it can make you feel like you're a little bit in control of a world that somehow feels like its spinning out of control. You're actually being a part of the process of change within this world. So, there's always going to be need and we're just providing a place where you can find out how to show that need.

SECRET WARS Turns Marvel's GHOST RIDERS Into GHOST RACERS
Go Ghost Racers. Go Ghost Racers. Go Ghost Racers Go-o!
The final issue of All-New Ghost Rider may be fast approaching, but that doesn't mean we've seen the last of Robbie Reyes - or any of Marvel's other Ghost Riders, for that matter. In Ghost Racers, a new Secret Wars series, the many Ghost Riders of Mavel's multiverse race for freedom in Battleworld's arena.
Newsarama recently sat down with Ghost Racers scribe Felipe Smith to discuss the finer points of Marvel's hellish new Secret Wars title.
Newsarama: Felipe, what can you tell us about Ghost Racers?
Felipe Smith: Ghost Racers takes place in Battleworld as a result of Marvel Universes colliding.
Nrama: This comes hot on the heels of All-New Ghost Rider and its finale - can we assume Robbie Reyes is in this?
Smith: Yes you can!
Robbie Reyes is back in the driver's seat, this time in a heavily armored, fully weaponized and souped-up black Battle Charger.
With some hefty upgrades under the hood and some new maneuvers up his sleeve, he's ready to set the roads ablaze with scorching fury!
Nrama: What other Ghost Riders can readers look forward to seeing in this series?
Smith: I don't want to give things away, since seeing them make their entrance is part of the fun of this new series, but I can say this: Expect your favorite Ghost Rider to be there!
Nrama: Okay… Any new ones we haven't seen yet primed to appear here?
Smith: Once again, I'm afraid to give too much away, but definitely expect to see new characters, new vehicles, new powers, and race & action sequences cranked up to eleven.
Nrama: What can you tell us about the Arena on Battleworld where this takes place?
Smith: The Arena is situated in the entertainment capital of Battleworld, and it houses a variety of spectacular events for the entertainment of the masses; much like a coliseum in ancient Rome.
Nrama: You're working on this one with the enterprising newcomer Juan Gedeon. What's your appraisal of him as a co-pilot on this series?
Smith: I'm ready to absolutely tear it up with Juan Gedeon!
He's a great fit for this new series. His design sense is strong, his vehicles, characters and environments are solid, and his depiction of high speed action and mayhem is superb.
But, more importantly, what makes him a good artist for this high-paced, high octane story is the clarity in his layouts.
Ghost Racers is an action comic, and story-telling clarity is essential for a successful action sequence.
There's a careful balance between drawing clearly to guide the reader's eyes through a page, and putting just enough kinetic energy to keep the reader flipping pages without noticing.
If we've done our job well, you'll be flipping through our pages engrossed in the explosive art and high-paced storyline.
Juan and I are ready to hit the ground, tires spinning, and peel the hell out.
Nrama: Depicting races is a hard thing to do in comics, given the motion and lack-thereof in static comics panels. As an artist yourself, writing a script for Juan, how are you working to pull off the race scenes?
Smith: I see this a lot in articles; people commenting on how hard it is to depict motion (and racing) in comics as a medium. I can't say that I really agree with that statement [laughs].
But I guess the key to doing it correctly is the pacing of your panels, the sizing and distribution of them across the page, and what moment of the described action you chose to depict visually.
The amount of things you choose to show and not show in a sequence is what determines how quickly the reader's eye moves through the page and goes to the next one.
Races (and successful action) are fast-paced, and the key is guiding the reader's eye quickly through the sequence, and then slowing his eye down during certain moments for visual payoffs.
When writing action scenes for another artist I usually give the action beats of the sequence (the actions that need to be depicted on each panel) attempting to write to each individual artists' drawing strengths, and then let them go nuts.
Sometimes, I'm very specific about every single bit of information in the panel, from the camera angle, to the amount of debris flying, to the expressions on the characters faces, and the direction from which smoke, fire, or sparks are flying. I don't do this to be a maniacal control freak, but rather, to make sure the storytelling remains fluid and in tune with the characters' dialogue.
The cool thing about working with Juan particularly, is that we actually talk on the phone pretty often and shoot ideas back and forth.
The better the communication between the artist and writer, the stronger the final product becomes. Luckily Juan is really open to Skype calls about action sequences and character motivations, so hopefully you'll see the fruit of our discussions on the pages of Ghost Racers!
We're really excited about this new project! We hope you join us!
Buckle up! Let's ride!

Herrera opposes the Central Subway
Now that both Dennis Herrera and Jeff Adachi oppose the Central Subway, maybe some of the other candidates will relocate their minds and their spines and question other city policies, thus providing city voters with a real policy debate, instead of the lame groupthink we've seen so far (Actually, credit where it's due: Wilma Pang came out against the Central Subway in the SFBC's questionnaire, but she's not considered a "serious" candidate).
Herrera's excellent paper on the Central Subway.
The Matoff memo and the Grand Jury report he relies on in his paper.
Good to see that he gives a mention to the folks at Save Muni, who have opposed this dumb project for years.
Too bad Herrera didn't take a more skeptical approach to the Bicycle Plan way back in 2005, which could have saved the city a lot of time and money. He's still touting how he handled that litigation, which has always been questionable, to put it mildly:
Herrera worked tirelessly with City departments to meet the environmental review requirements to implement San Francisco's Bicycle Plan—the most ambitious program in City history to make bicycling a safe, reliable alternative to cars. He mounted an aggressive and ultimately successful defense from legal attacks, and moved to implement needed safety improvements throughout a court-ordered injunction.
"Environmental requirements"? What about the legal requirement to obey the most important environmental law in California? And "defense from legal attacks"? We were the ones who defended the injunction against three motions by Herrera to lift it before the EIR on the Bicycle Plan was completed and certified by the court. Even the "safety improvement" at Fell and Masonic turned out to be based on a lie.
All this pandering to the bike lobby will availeth him not, since it's unlikely the city's bike people are going to give him any credit in November for pushing their agenda. They understand that David Chiu and John Avalos are the real bike fanatics among the candidates.

Poets Sue Goyette and Lynn Davies will be reading from their poetry Thursday, March 15th, 2012 at 1 pm in the Alumni Memorial Lounge.
Sue Goyette's latest book of poetry, Outskirts (Brick 2011), explores the complexity and power of human connections while reflecting on the tenuous relationship that we have with our natural environment. Outskirts finds hope in the details of human interaction and envisions a path forward through a natural landscape that is increasingly subject to destruction and dissolution.
Goyette is the author of two previous collections of poetry and one novel. Her first book of poetry, The True Names of Birds (Brick 1998) was nominated for the Governor General's Award for Poetry, the Pat Lowther Award, and the Gerald Lampert Award. Her poems have won the 2008 CBC Literary Prize for Poetry, the 2010 Earle Birney Award and the 2011 Bliss Carman Poetry Award. Her first novel, Lures (HarperCollins 2002), was nominated for the 2003 Thomas Head Raddall Award. Sue Goyette currently resides in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Lynn Davies is the author of two books of poetry: The Bridge that Carries the Road (Brick 1999), selected as a finalist for the Governor General's Award and short-listed for the Gerald Lampert Award in 2000, and Where Sound Pools (Goose Lane 2005). Davies' poems have been published in several anthologies and literary journals, including The Fiddlehead, The Malahat Review, and The New Brunswick Reader. Born in New Brunswick, Davies' poetry reflects on human relationships, family, and nature while more directly considering the impact of external events on the our psychological condition.
The reading is presented by the UNB English Department, the Canada Council for the Arts, the UNB Fredericton Bookstore, and The Fiddlehead.

There is no problem with talking with someone about the ball game, movie or the weather. However, it is far easier for "trivia" to become our middle or first name in another's mind, if that's what we focus on.
When we truly love someone, our conversation will necessarily include what serious matters we are passionate about. Our thought provoking ideas, vision or dreams become a consistent part of our vocabulary. When was the last time you told someone about an ache in your heart?
Check out how much Jesus loves us in Matthew 26:36-46.
WHAT THIS MEANS: What keeps you from sharing your heart with others? Tell someone this week something you have never shared with anyone. Be a person who deeply loves others.

Gallery: San Francisco: Kick A$$ Fried Chicken, Burger, and Fries at Mission Bowling Club
Mission Burger ($15)
I've eaten a lot of burgers in my days at Serious Eats. Enough that I rarely get excited by a new one, no matter how good. This is the only burger I've had in years that made me feel like I've been touched for the very first time. The relentless moisture, the intricate interplay of textures between the crisp charred crust and the ultra-loose and tender center (achieved by a technique Myint calls "granulating"), the sheer beefiness of the thing, reminded me of what my first truly great burger experience was like. I've never been so excited by a sandwich before.
Beef Jerky ($5)
Tender and beefy, with a moist texture filled with crisp bits of fat that literally melt in your mouth, the jerky is made with green papaya (which contains natural enzymes to tenderize the meat), dehydrated, and served with a squeeze of lime. It's a great into to the menu, which is full of ordinary sounding and looking food that for all intents and purposes reads and looks just like standard bar food. It's only after you taste it that you realize it's unlike any you've ever had.
Sausage Corn Dog ($7)
Juicy Sausage Corn Dogs ($7) are fennel-specked Italian sausage in a crisp corn batter that come to the table poking out of a slab of bowling lane parquet, its surface smeared with a mild habañero cream. This is the first of several excellent foods-on-a-stick.
Fried Chicken ($8)
Your first impression is, this is the crispest fried chicken I've ever had, soon followed by holy sh*t, this is the chickeniest fried chicken I've ever had.
Myint shared some of his secrets with us later on. The dry base of the batter is made not just with seasoned flour, but with actual fried chicken skin that is dehydrated and ground into a powder. Chicken battered with chicken! For the liquid element, he cuts his batter with a few shots of vodka. Not only does this reduce gluten formation (which can lead to tough fried chicken), it's also far more volatile, leading to a lighter, crisper coating.
Home Fries ($5)
Clearly, frying is one of MBC's strong suits. Consider the Home Fries ($5). These are no ordinary spuds. Made by par-boiling baby potatoes until just barely falling apart, the potatoes are then roughed up a bit to increase the cracks and crevices on their surface, resulting in a fried potato with a massive surface area to volume ratio for maximum outer crunch, while still maintaining a soft, steamy center.
Everything Pretzel ($5)
Of all the outstanding appetizers, only the Everything Pretzel ($8) failed to make a strong impression on us (despite a fantastic sweet and spicy lardo mostarda for dipping). There was nothing wrong with it, but it's far outshined by its superstar bandmates.
Vegan Burger ($10)
A Vegan Burger ($10) made falafel-like with a chickpea base riddled with kale and shiitake comes topped with a thick spoonful of guacamole. It's a proud reminder that "vegan" is not a synonym for "devoid of all pleasure." A dozen other vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan options appear in all sections of the menu. It's nice to see a chef this dedicated to non-meat options.
Jerk Pork Shoulder Sandwich ($11)
Thick slices of tender Jerk Pork Shoulder come sandwiched in a toasted Acme bun, sweet and bitter from grapefruit, with jicama adding its characteristic watery crunch. It's got a substantial but moist texture much more akin to corned beef or pastrami than, say, pulled pork.
The Burger, Autopsy
I mean, just look at the juice. Insane.

Are you a "one more thing" person? Are you always pushing your schedule and perhaps running late because you want to do "one more thing?" Do you run yourself to the point of exhaustion and then collapse into bed because you want to fix one more thing, clean one more thing, plan one more thing, read one more thing or watch one more thing?
Sometimes we can get so caught up in the American culture of doing more and more and more that we begin to lose sight of the truly important "things" like saying "I love you" one more time, saying "Thank you" and "Please" one more time, pausing to take in our surroundings one more time or closing our eyes in true gratitude for one more day to live, one more breath to breathe, and one more chance to live a life of fulfillment.
Just for today, instead of doing one more "thing," try to take time to pause, be gracious, grateful and loving one more time. You may learn to let go of the unimportant "things" by embracing the truly important "things."

Turnout is, to put it bluntly, un-Americanly too low during the off off-year elections. An off-year election is defined when it happens during an odd-numbered year (i.e. this year). I would actually love it if elections for state-, county-, local- and special district- levels happened during the off-year because as it stands right now, all the media is sucked into the presidential race when it is actually the lower levels that have more of an impact on our lives. Unfortunately, this means that the public is even less interested and thus turnout decreases, sometimes precipitously, from the previous general presidential election. In my current state of residence of Indiana, all levels of government from townships to the federal level are being elected which squeezes out media coverage of the down-ballot races which I think does a disservice to all those positions and voters. Anyways, the following are some highlights of select races being decided during this week's off-year general election:
Failure of the Farm Bill23 Jun
I have to admit, agriculture is probably not even on my Top 10 issues to follow on a national level. When I lived in Southern California, it wasn't really something that I even saw. Now that I'm here in Indiana, I have tried to pay more attention to the issues affecting my state more than others, and agriculture is definitely one of them. Continue reading
Leadership Changes16 Nov
With the election (basically) done, it's really interesting how party label does not always determine which party the leader will be. The New York Senate's leadership is always unknown, as written by the article by Tim Storey (The Thicket | "Leadership Intrigue"). There always seem to be some rogue Democrats threatening (and actually) caucusing with the Republicans, but it seems that there might be a 3rd caucus. (Wow, so much drama.) I don't know if they're standing up for their principles or just being power-hungry, but I'm pretty sure it's mostly the latter. This is almost as exciting as when Kent Williams became Speaker of the House of the Tennessee legislature (The Tennessean | "How Kent Williams…" & Nashville Business Journal | "Tennessee Legislature…").
The national legislature (US Congress) is another matter. Basically, the status quo rules with only minor changes in the lower rungs of the leadership of both houses (Politico | "Senate Leadership…"). Yawn.
Sorry for the short blog post. I just got back to CA from IN for the Thanksgiving Break and am trying to recuperate from jet lag and such and also reverting back to my super-objective news mode for a little bit.

Kaiku prepaid debit cards for under 18, as well as other prepaid debit cards that are specifically designed for minors, are a great choice if you're looking for a secure, convenient, and "realistic" approach to teaching your teenager about handling money. The majority of teenagers are simply interested in spending money (preferably yours), and even if they're working part-time, they might not give much thought to just how much work goes into earning a paycheck. Budgeting skills are not necessarily acquired naturally, so do your teenager a good service and consider setting them up with a prepaid card.
Prepaid debit cards for teens are a better choice than cash because you, as the parent, will be able to keep tabs on what your teen is doing with the card. Together you can create a budget, determine how the card will be funded (you can add funds via bank transfers, direct deposit, and sometimes in-store reloading with cash), and give your teen ideas on how to best manage the money. Work on prioritizing needs over wants, such as by requiring your teen to pay a portion of the family cell phone plan, and recommending that they purchase their own clothes and school supplies before deciding to go to a concert or buy a bunch of video games.
Today's prepaid debit cards offer the ability to reload in person, over the phone, through the mail, and even online. Online accounts for both teens and their parents means it's easy to check in on funds and transactions, and monitor balances as well as create and tweak budgets. And with many smartphone apps available, on-the-go banking with a prepaid card is also a useful function to take advantage of.

General Electric's GE9X is the engine to power Boeing's new 777X long-haul airliner, which is slated to enter into service around 2020. The GE9X builds on the proven GE90 and GEnx architecture and is currently under development. The engine incorporates some of the most advanced materials and technologies and will set new records in terms of efficiency: The GE9X will be the most fuel-efficient engine GE has ever produced on a per-pounds-of-thrust basis. The engine is designed to achieve fuel-burn savings of about ten percent over today's GE90-115B. CO2, NOx and noise emissions will also be lower.
MTU has taken a share in the GE9X program, assuming design, development and production responsibility for the turbine center frame – a highly engineered component. The first development module was delivered to GE in January 2016. MTU has many years of experience with this part, which it already contributes to the GP7000 (Airbus A380) and the GEnx (Boeing 787 Dreamliner, 747-8) engine programs.

Stunning Indie Pop from C. Shirock
C. SHIROCK is Chuck Shirock – founder, frontman and primary writer for internationally acclaimed band, SHIROCK. The new music from C. SHIROCK is an evolution and a distillation of his previous work, cutting to the core of his identity, with a power and clarity not heard before. Blending anthemic choruses, musical builds and releases with heartfelt and personal lyrics, the new music from C. SHIROCK delivers a vulnerability, urgency and an aching vocal that is uniquely his own. Driving rhythms and bass are anchors to the soaring melodies, layers of keyboards, and programming that call to mind the emotive, intelligent pop music of artists such as Peter Gabriel and David Bowie.
C. SHIROCK was born in the United States and has since lived in both the Philippines and Scotland, before relocating to Nashville, TN to further study music. Coming from a family of creatives and musicians, he grew up the oldest of four, playing piano, writing and composing from a very early age. His mother was a professional ballet dancer, his father an avid guitarist and his grandfather an accomplished jazz pianist.
The cultural influences of C. SHIROCK's upbringing, both musically and melodically, can be heard in his latest releases. Seamlessly blending his refined melodic and pop sensibility with years of classical training and hints of Phil Collins, Prince, and The Cure, C. SHIROCK has established a defined and modern sound. After going through major life changes and transitions, C. SHIROCK decided it was time for a change of identity and took the leap from playing in his band SHIROCK, to going it alone. "I viewed it as a continuation or an evolution or sorts. It's been incredibly freeing and liberating to chase whatever turns me on…to create without inhibition", reveals the musician.
Leading single "Confess Your Love" is a passionate love song about the first moments of connection and the bravery involved in taking a risk to be the first at initiating these feelings. C. SHIROCK explains, "It tells the story of a couple meeting and their beginning…those little chance encounters that if we take them, can change the entire course of our lives". The stunning visuals subtly play into this narrative. Shot in a beautiful colonial town near Tulum, Mexico the story starts and ends with the same scene, not revealing whether or not the love story actually happened or if it was a "what if" moment. Sonically "Confess Your Love" features heartfelt, emotional vocals with glistening synthscapes and powerful melodies reminiscent of early Madonna, George Michael and Prince.
Continuing to carve out his unique place with this new project, C. SHIROCK describes his songwriting as vulnerable and honest, "whether it's capturing a feeling, or telling a specific story, it's always based on my own life. If it doesn't come out of my own emotional experience, it feels inauthentic and I don't feel connected to it".
C. SHIROCK has found success with his music featured in multiple TV networks including MTV, NBC and ABC, as well as working with brands such as American Eagle and Hollister. He has performed at major summer festivals in front of hundreds of thousands of people across the US and UK, alongside acts such as Twenty One Pilots, Cage The Elephant and Manchester Orchestra, to name a few. Outside of his music, the songwriter is also a professional model landing his face on campaigns across the globe. He has further involved himself in charity work, where he has partnered with various homeless and poverty-focused organizations. The new music from C. SHIROCK marks a new chapter for the prolific artist with "Confess Your Love" currently available worldwide.

Rogerio Ceni, Chilavert or Higuita are very well known for their ability of scoring goals, despite being goalkeepers. In fact were goalkeepers, to be more precise, because only the first one is still in activity. But few people know the story of the first ever goal scored by a goalkeeper in a top-class match or details about the fastest achievement of a goalkeeper which came in the 23rd second of the game! Well, if you don't know these things, you definitely should read the stories of Charlie Williams and Paul Smith.
Charlie Williams was born on 14th of November 1873, in Kent, England and between 1891 – 1894 he played for Arsenal. His performance weren't so good and because of this he moved to Manchester City, a team at which he became a legend as he played eight seasons, until 1902, in 252 league games. He didn't won a single trophy, but remains in football history for his achievement from 14th of April 1900, when, against Sunderland, on Roker Park, he scored the first ever competitive goal of a goalkeeper, at this level, thanks to a long clearance. After City, he had some spells at Tottenham, Norwich and Brentford, but without notable performance and so he started a coaching career. In 1908. And if in all his playing career he remained only in his native country, as a manager he trained exclusively teams from abroad. First, he became Olympic vice-champion with the national side of Denmark and then he moved to Brazil (!) were he lead Fluminense to the first ever Flu-Fla derby (against Flamengo), which he also won, 3-2. After, short adventures at Lille, Boldkkluben 1893, Corinthians and Flamengo and that was it: a long career, without many trophies, but with a performance that will remain forever in the history of football.
Paul Smith was born on 17th of December 1979 at Epsom, also in England, didn't played at such a high level because he only appeared for Southmapton, curiously also for Brentford, as also Williams did, Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough. At Nottingham he also touch a performance that wouldn't be, for sure, to fast equalized. On 18th of September 2007 he scored, in the 23rd second of the league cup match against Leicester City! A real shocker, but let's see what really happen there and after you will have another prove of the British fair play. At that moment, the match was replayed, after initially it was abandoned at half-time, because Leicester's Clive Clarke, collapsed on the field and suffered a cardiac arrest. Fortunately, he recovered, but never played football after that. At the moment, Nottingham was leading 1-0, so at the reply, both sides decided to restore the initial advantage from the start of the game. After the kick-off it was decided that Smith should take the ball and score, to avoid any betting suspicions. And so he did and settled three records: the fastest ever goal scored by a goalkeeper, the fastest ever goal scored in the League Cup and the first ever goal scored by a Nottingham player! At the moment, Paul playes for Southend United.
OK, besides those two stories, it must be also added a bonus. Obviously an Englsih bonus! More precise, we will talk Frank Moss (5th of November 1909 – 7th of Febraury 1970), the only goalkeeper that scored for Arsenal (together wich he was three time champion 1933, 1934 and 1935) in a competitive game. That happened on 16th of March 1935, against Everton. It was the first goal of a 2-0. It didn't come from the spot, a free kick, a long clearance or a last minute kick. But how could it come otherwise? Well, at a moment, Moss dislocated his shoulder and couldn't play anymore in goal. But in those years substitutions weren't allowed, so a team mate entered the goal and he went on playing as a left midfielder! Despite his problem he did scored the first piece of the match. It looked like his career was at a peak point and could stay that way for many years, as he had only 26 years. But because of the injury, he would not recover fully and will be forced to retire in 1937, after playing also four times in the England national team, all of them in 1934.

About Life 2.0
Everything in life has taken us to where we are now right now in this moment.
Every single experience every SINGLE one has brought us here, now. Both the times we were powerless, feeling trapped with no way out as well as the times we owned our power, a bolt of lightning striking and burning any obstacle in our path paved the way to where we are now.
Every single one of our attempts, no matter if they ended in failure or success, has been a step toward this very point: to the edge of the cliff that calls to us. Every single one of our decisions, good and bad, moved us forward to the here and now.
We, regardless of our uniformity, no matter our creativity, be it suppressed or expressed, have our foot raised, our bag and rose in hand, our companion the dog at our heels, and the sun at our back, preparing for the next step.
This is the step:
The one we've been waiting for, the one that we've been working toward for so long that we nearly forgot it was coming.
This step precedes our leap into the void, into living with purpose, living on purpose. This step requires that we remove the mask that we have been wearing for far too long, so that we may fall, just as we are, landing upon our path to walk as we truly are, moving toward that which we will be.
This step and this leap are not for the faint of heart, but neither is the path.
As we move forward, we will begin to see what is real and what is false. The false will begin falling away, and we will experience loss. Sometimes we will grieve.
We must lose the false to make room for the real. Again, this journey is not for the faint of heart.
As we explore the real, that stark presence behind the nebulous veil which conceals it, we will face challenges that feel like failures. But we will learn to recognize illusory failure as a setback and keep walking the path.
We will gain resilience.
We will face demons, savage shadows of our own making, and we may bleed. But we will emerge victorious.
We will choose our own paths, and we will succeed beyond our wildest dreams.
Welcome to Life 2.0.
We're so glad you could join us.

From the award-winning author of The Gardens of Kyoto comes this witty and incisive novel about the lives and attitudes of a group of women—once country-club housewives; today divorced, independent, and breaking the rules.
In Our Kind, Kate Walbert masterfully conveys the dreams and reality of a group of women who came into the quick rush of adulthood, marriage, and child-bearing during the 1950s. Narrating from the heart of ten companions, Walbert subtly depicts all the anger, disappointment, vulnerability, and pride of her characters: "Years ago we were led down the primrose lane, then abandoned somewhere near the carp pond."
Now alone, with their own daughters grown, they are finally free—and ready to take charge: from staging an intervention for the town deity to protesting the slaughter of the country club's fairway geese, to dialing former lovers in the dead of night.
Walbert's writing is quick-witted and wry, just like her characters, but also, in its cumulative effect, moving and sad. Our Kind is a brilliant, thought-provoking novel that opens a window into the world of a generation and class of women caught in a cultural limbo.

Another trip back in the way back when machine
The Paris catacombs are one of the highlights of my exploring trips taken over the couse of two days in the summer of 07, very well lead by OT we covered quite a lot of the touristy sites.
The trip cost me quite a bit as within half an hour of seeing off from home this was the state of my car,
after quickly rearranging transport and catching the intercity to Paddington i just made it across London to Waterloo just in time to catch the Eurostar. After a few relaxing beers and a planning session comparing maps on the train we had a good idea of what we all wanted to see and how we were going to go about of it. after the metro trip and a quick stop of at the supermarket for supplies we made our way to the entry point descretely kitted up and headed under ground.
First stop the Le Passe de Muraille (man in the wall) named after a black and white french film about appropriately enough an man who could walk thorugh walls.
Then pn to the ram room where we stoped off for a bit and enjoyed some french beer
Then over to the castle room which was surprisingly small and difficult to photograph
A short distance away is the flower room.
which contained this shaft showing how far below the city we were about 90'
We then stoped off at the foxy memorial which is supposidly dedicated to a photographer who spent a lot of time down the catas.
then on to one of the popular party rooms Le Cellier
then a short distance away we stoped to visit the robot in La Plage
we then headed up to the Carrefour de Morte (Crossroads of the Dead) and the bones.
we did a little more poking about in this area before heading off to our bed room for the night in the Pharmacy Shelter which was used by the Germans in WWII. On the way we met a group of three cataphiles the only people we saw down there once setting up our beds a a quick meal it was bed time the night was damp loud and cold.
The following morning we headed of to pay our respects to Phibert's grave,an explorer from long ago who explored the catacoombs by candel light one night his light went out and became lost his skellngton was found years later.
We then headed down into the SalleZ for breakfast a quite complicated area where we navigated pillar by pillar, were we found the music room.
Until finding the ballon room where we stopped to cook our self heating meals, we made it homely with ballons pinched from MCD's
we then took a look around Val-de-Grâce and the war time bomb shelters under the hospital a starway here lets you climb up and see the streets of paris from below. no pics form here i was fucked by this time, our route back was a little complicated as we popped of to see some other sites like the cube room, the black crawl and we even found one of the original grave monuments marking the comunards but my camera stayed in its bag until i had a second breckfast of crepe's chocolate and beer in one of the sample rooms then i got some energy back so out the camera came.
one of our final stops was the art gallery where graduates of the mining institute ad a new mural every year. some quite dodgy.
we then had to decide on our way out we had heared of a open man hole in the north which opened up in to a park but in the end we decided to go back out the way we entered, and a mad dash through a building site followed by the shouts of some pissed off parisiene workers, As we waited for the metro back to gare de nore an aged frence man eyed up our dirty helmets before coming over and informing us "there are caves under the city you know" we laughed before disapearing onto the train. Back at gare de nord we enjoyed a well earned kebab and a beer or two before sleeping all the way back to blighty.
it was tough going at the time but now ive just been reminiscing I want to go again

thanks to PAO Web, http://www.paoweb.com
Very recently I was brought into a meeting with the League of Galactic Nations, and so immediately I knew that something special was on the horizon. I was asked to stand in as a cosmic receiver and earth transmitter for what was called an "approaching super-accelerated time of transformation."
The primary topic discussed was our growing light and its effects on our physical body…mostly in preparation for what feels like a incoming cosmic cacophony…in a good way. Though it wasn't specifically mentioned, I am assuming that this is all in direct relation to the equinox and the new moon/eclipse passage/mercury retrograde combo we are headed into…or, more holographically speaking, that is headed into us.
I also got the feeling through this meeting of galactic minds that this entire year was somehow leading up to this very moment…moment, as in several weeks…and is also the reason why many are still so steadily in the process of quantum deep excavation, releasing the seemingly-never-ending-remnants of unresolved emotion trapped within the lower body system. Though I can see now that all this prep work was to assist us (as much as possible) to enter this higher frequency band, unhindered.
From the messages I have been downloading the last couple of weeks, I feel pretty confident in saying that we are about to witness some kind of major breakthrough…that there is a pay-off of sorts approaching. Whatever is coming feels pretty potent and not necessarily in a bring-us-to-our-knees way…although ascension experience has definitely taught me to never rule that option out.
The good news is that since the June solstice we have been entering what feels like a 'no-suffering zone' which has been making the light downloads, integrations and cellular mutations somewhat more tolerable. That said, and even although our recent release from suffering has been noticeable, this last round of expunging has been challenging nonetheless. It has been pleading with us, asking over and again that we rise above all lower level (survival) fears and assume our rightful position as both creator of our life experience, as well as commander of it.
The entire year is/has been dedicated to a constant (carbon to crystalline) physical transmutation process, which has demanded so much from us, but September…the 9th month of endings and reviews in preparation for new beginnings…always highlights, and in some cases intensifies, the 8-month journey to arrive here.
For this reason you may have been experiencing some extra turbulence…more than the usual dose of heaviness as you unearth deeper fears and revisit core wounds…or feeling like you are somehow back at the beginning again. This is normal and to be expected any September, but this year in particular, because we are now moving so fully into the creator frequencies, our triggers are absolutely being tested from every direction possible in order to ensure we are completely aligned with our christed nature.
Divine creatorship is the name of this new game so if you have been repetitively dunked in the deep end, I assure you it's all for the sake of sovereignty.
We have also been contending with various distortions in our energy fields, mostly due to collective unrest, that have been threatening (or at least trying) to derail us. The point is to literally pay them no mind. Those flashes of chaos are just up for a final farewell and if seen in the right "light" can prove to us that when we are unfettered by these disturbances (non-reactive)…we are free.
And when we are free, we know because we enter so solidly into the sanctity of solace, the space of absolute peace and total acceptance with what-is. That zero-point space is so important…it's where our unbridled creative potential lives, where our higher Self resides, and what we are soon to call our permanent Home again.
Yes, the light at the end of the tunnel is growing brighter, and we are being urged more than ever to focus solely upon it. All else is a moot point. Certainly there are LOTS of distractions available, plenty of fast moving currents that can easily pull us into a maelstrom if we allow it, but none of those diversions need derail us any longer. The drama of the dying (old) world may be tempting to peer into at times, but none of it is our business. Our business is light. Illuminating darkness, yes…participating in it, no.
Sure there will continue to be moments when we have to reach to see and feel the light, and there will be moments when the light seems to find us rather effortlessly. In either case, it's our job to remember that the light is always there. And just the thought of that can be enough now to keep us in immersed in it.
If you find yourself locked in a moment of unrest, especially over the next several weeks of growing cosmic intensity, simply refocus your attention on the crystalline grid of light that surrounds you. That is all that is required to lift us now. If that isn't enough, I am also told that we can utilize the photonic light available to us via the sun simply by requesting that all solar frequencies be used to revitalize and restore our complete body system to the reflection of the Christ within.
And so it is.
A New Form of Care
As we move into the final season of 2014, I am told that we will be spending much of it learning new things about our physical bodies and their functions.
Surely we understand the ramifications and demands of your emerging lightbody, and so we want to offer you new perspectives and information that can ease this process and garner a sense of well being.
As it stands, the 3D body template we are currently working with has very little say over our new-body process and functions. Because we are moving so completely into our lightbody template, we are beginning to awaken to the realization that our old template, and the ways in which we are used to caring for it, no longer apply.
Because of that, the league says that the time has come to adopt a new form of care.
This new form of care is a level of nurturing and replenishment that comes strictly and directly from the light. I am told that this is both a passive and an active endeavor and one that we are organically beginning to realize our part in as our higher level DNA communicates new information and concepts that remind us that consciousness is required to sustain our new form.
What we hope to make clear is that the (5D) lightbody has different requirements than the 3D body, and when we say lightbody we are referring of course to the physical body of light you are becoming, enfleshed.
Living as a lightbody-being ultimately insists that we operate under the laws of light, and apparently these laws vary slightly in their function for ascending folk. When I asked what these laws are I was told that they are laws that our scientists have already named (?), only they apply in a much broader way to a lightbody. I get the sense that we will be learning more about this as we experience it.
Directly following the equinox, I am informed that our lightbody templates will begin to initiate new potentials that we have yet to realize in physical form, potentials that will birth into this world a new sense of living under the direction and command of LOVE…
Part of this realization will entail modifying commands to suit your lightbody as you learn to accommodate and adjust to this higher frequency entrainment, as well as utilize your higher-level capacity to bring your lightbody fully under your conscious direction.
They go on to explain that when we were first incarnating into this world, we understood that light was the communication medium that would enable us to exist in physicality…that it was the sustenance for our soul and contained our memory of Home. Now that we are in the process of re-incarnating, we will be opening to the knowledge needed to sustain our new body system and reawaken our memory of those governing laws of light and how they affect us in physical form.
There will be much to learn, rather…remember. Let's just say that you are going to be realizing in your own experience and timing, that light contains the all of everything you need to sustain yourself.
Body reBuilding
We are not only saying that healing and rejuvenating your body is possible, but a requirement. That is the order of the day…
The galactics tell me that what they most want for us to realize in this moment, is that our body is rebuilding it's own molecular (DNA) structure to support us to thrive in the new-frequencies, and that this will take us to places we have only dreamed about in the past. Our genetic information is stored in these DNA molecules, contained in each of our cells, and as a result we are now opening (gaining conscious access) to more of our full-human capacity to alter and re-form our human form…to restore our genetics to their original blueprint of biological perfection.
Because of this, we are being asked to get more involved in our body process now…
Now that the christed-level energies are available to you, your creative participation in your body's rebuilding process will benefit you.
Having said that, there are those of you reading this who are going to transform rather quickly…those at what we would call the "tipping point" of lightbody attainment. Know that there is a gateway opening that will precipitate a major leap in your body's responsiveness to light and will therefore require less participation than those of you who will need more time to achieve the physical state of transcendence.
Enter the new self-regeneration technique…
The Pleiadians offer this technique as a way to assist us thru this particular window of light-body integration because, as we all know too well, the physical body is of the most dense and therefore requires the most "support". We are all at different and varying levels of lightbody attainment, yes…and it is not necessary to participate in the process…but we are all encouraged to:
We reiterate that you are working with the creator-level frequencies now, and while you have more say over your biology than ever before, this process of integration is a very physical, and therefore a relatively slow-moving one. It is for this reason that we encourage you to get more involved…to stand in now as the author of your biology.
All that is not in alignment with the (christed) frequencies will need to mutate in order to adapt and assimilate. For this reason, and for the next and remaining months of this calendar year, we are recommending that you work very diligently toward lightbody attainment.
It will be both a beneficial process for your overall well being and sense of balance in the increasing current of change, and it will also aid in providing you with the type of rapid, seamless movement that you are so desiring.
In addition to the self-regeneration technique, the league also says that because the lightbody integration process is such a physical one, that physical measures can also assist us greatly here.
Meaning…movement, nutritional support, even wholistic therapies, etc. can be a boon to our well being at this juncture. Not that these external supports can do the work for us…only we have the ability to whole and replenish ourselves by aligning with our divinity…but they can serve to reinforce the work that is already being done, by us.
So be sure to honor any nudges, no matter how slight. The league notes specifically that anything (aerobic) that will speed up the excretory and endocrine systems to eliminate waste and toxins from the body will be very helpful now and during the next cycle of change. (note to self)
I know that for some, the incredible toll that ascension has taken on the body has made even the idea of exercise laughable, and in some cases this has created quite a sedentary lifestyle, but from what I am hearing this is changing now. As we get called back into the game of life I am told that our bodies will crave more and more movement….and that as the physical self strengthens, so too does our auric field which bolsters our resistance to lower energies. Win Win.
This gateway is ushering in a new frequency to make the impossible, possible.
We are asking that you come to this (transformation) process with a completely open mind so that you can reprogram your body to respond appropriately to the new reality system.
If you do, you are going to be very pleased with what unfolds…
Lightbody Living & Social Identity
Another interesting topic discussed among league members was the fact that (5D) lightbody living, in the physical world, is going to be something very different than what we are accustomed to in our 3d dimensional reality system….that there are new experiences that will trump many of our previous (3D) life experiences, but that there will also be changes that will require some adjusting to.
One of those things will be our social participation with the world.
The reason we bring up this topic is to ensure that each of you who are becoming embodied light beings know that this particular time on earth is unlike anything that you or anyone has experienced to date. For this reason alone, it is imperative that you learn to create your own experience of what this means, and will mean for your fellow humans.
They go on to say that lightbody (5D) living in a 3d dimensional world is going to be a first, and so it would behoove us to treat it as such. Meaning, we are (co)creating this as we go and so we will not exactly have a roadmap, other than the blueprint contained within our individual hearts. Because of this, it will be crucial that we follow our intuitive promptings and acknowledge the fact that we are setting the precedent for all others…that there is no normal yet, and that this lack of normality will be, in and of itself, the new normal.
I am also reminded that even though lightbody living will be very new to each of us, it will also be very ancient and so we will have the ability to tap into that part of us, of our DNA matrix, that contains the seeds of ascended living. And while we can definitely call this information forth from the Akashic records to guide us, we are being asked to realize that not all of our past experiences will qualify for our present and future circumstances.
We recommend that you utilize the hall of records past as merely a signpost for your emerging future. For this is a specifically unique time upon the earth.
On The Move
Because the world is/will be changing more rapidly and dramatically now, the league shares that some of you will be called to different parts of the world for different reasons, and rather quickly.
This will be the result of both impending earth changes, as well as some necessary and pre-orchestrated meetings of minds that will call some of you to different locales, to join those soul family members who will be essential to your new earth endeavors. In some cases, both those things. Realize that this prodding will be a call of the heart and that it will be your desire that moves you into action, not fear.
NOTE: Keep in mind that the only "safety" that truly exists is via vibration. When our inner being is free of fear, we participate with, attract and create a fear-free world. Trust in your personal resonance to protect and guide you, to keep you out of harm's way. It is only when we honor fear, resist or ignore our heart's call, that we stumble unnecessarily. If you are reading this, then you are at least somewhat aware of your soul's intentions at this point…however, being aware of, and acting in accordance with, are two very different things. There can be no separation between thought and deed so be sure to ground your truth with integral action.
For those of you who feel as though you are being moved rather than initiating a move yourself, know that there are forces at work to make this a reality for you, even if for reasons as yet unknown, but that will avail themselves in due time. In all cases, rest assured that the outcome will far exceed your expectations and current life experiences. For that reason, you are being asked to go with the proverbial flow here.
And for those of you who will be called to different parts of the world vocationally, I am told that this too may come as a bit of a surprise. In which case, realize that your higher level purpose (the most fulfilling sense of contribution that is possible) is simply magnetizing new life experiences destined to bring you into absolute alignment with your soul's unique expression of Self.
Higher Level "Service"
As we grow into our lightbody more fully, so too do we come to realize that the light is why we are here…that the light is not only what we are made of and what sustains us, but also what makes up everything.
As you embark on your new life journey as embodied beings of light, you will also come to realize a new sense of commitment to serve.
Because of this, we are going to notice a growing desire to spread the "work of the light", as it were…to begin our new level purpose of exposing the world to these new frequencies that are now available on earth, in addition to the light technologies that come equipped with the new human form and it's superior functions.
This lends credence to what the league was saying above about social participation in that this will be a bit of a learn-as-we-go endeavor in the sense that we are going to both desire to share ourselves with the 3D world, yet simultaneously want to release ourselves from it. This seemingly conflicting desire will cause some need for experience in the days that follow, yet I am reassured that we are well equipped to handle the combination of both reality programs and the frequency by which we will be moving in and out of dimensions.
Overall the league recommends that we utilize intentional programming techniques to assist in dealing with the repetitive shifts between worlds…as well, they will offer us assistance with this in the days ahead.
Just to be clear, this new level of service that is percolating inside of us is not the service of old…in the sense of self-sacrifice…but service spawned from a true sense of Self-realization. And as we Self-realize…remember more of our true nature…some of us will also remember a great deal more about our star roots and heritages and the fact that there are those of us who are former members of many galactic nations…ambassadors, emissaries, representatives from varied star systems…here to bring our specific information and technologies from our home stars, to the world at large.
This in itself is super exciting, but the league also tells me that once we begin to employ this "new level of service", that we are also going to realize that those of us who are harboring this sacred intelligence are more of the majority (of the awakening collective) than we initially thought. This is important apparently…and why some of us will be moving to new geographic locations…but will bring more importance in the days, weeks and months ahead because many of us are seeded with certain light codes and intelligences needed to anchor the actual framework for new light technologies for the planet, enmasse.
From what I gather, there is quite a big technological boom about to ground into the physical world…I am hearing about three types in particular: crystal, light and liquid-light technology.
Can't wait to see what comes of that…
Higher Level "Purpose"
As a result of these newly activating light codes for higher level service, some are feeling pulled in new creative directions.
For those who are becoming embodied masters of light, to you we say, there is a new sense of purpose that has been downloaded, activated and is now being initiated for your movement deeper into positions of new leadership.
"Purpose" is such a nebulous word to describe the ever-evolving expression of our authentic nature, and while there is always a consistent thread to our unending creative pursuits, purpose tends to fall short of the full reality that ultimately amounts to our vast and multidimensional "contribution" to both on and off-word societies. That said, and while those concepts tend to be used interchangeably, we all really do have something so purposeful, for lack of a better word, to contribute.
This heightened level of purposeful living is what inspires the visionary leadership both destined and required to create the systems of new earth.
There are those of you reading this who will be called to serve in new ways, and this means that the world is readying to receive you. This also means that the veil is parting, making way for new and advanced ways of living and BEing as LOVE. You, the vanguards of light, are those who will begin instituting these changes in earths systems and technologies.
Here is what I am specifically asked to share:
⥤ For those of you in the arts, know that there will be advances in your work that will embody new "creation codes" and information that is essential to the changing structure of the world and society …do not doubt your inspirations, nor fear they will be unreceived.
⥤ For those of you in technology and science, know that the cosmos is filled with new creative concepts that involve better, more highly evolved ways of living and that you will be regarded highly in your field should you find the courage to share your messages and ideas. The time has come to release yourself from all that stands in the way of your own inner-knowing and to present yourself and your works as the necessary pillars of a new enlightened society.
⥤ For those of you in healthcare, heed the call…there are changes and advancements in technology & science that are trying to find their way to these systems to aid, support and inspire an outdated and archaic way of healing and dealing with the vast intelligence of the human body. This is in no way saying that the healthcare system is all bad, but there are far more superior ways of dealing with a greater scope of ails and these concepts live in the minds and hearts of those of you who have the passion to create change in a system greatly in need of an overhaul.
⥤ For those of you impassioned by world economics, we say to you…there is no one fix to the many and varied levels of corruption and unjust currency systems. There are just as many solutions as there are problems and it will be for your creative capacity to employ the many parts to what will ultimately become ONE multiverse of options to suit the growing diversity of all. To you we say, impart your ideas and join with those who feel called to your visions…this is a time of unprecedented ingenuity and great visioning.
Most importantly realize that each of you holds a vitally important piece to the overall plan for new earth living. It is not a matter of what's better, but a matter of what's better suited…for each of you, and for the all.
All of this is being brought to our attention now so that we can relate to any new and/or sudden movement on the horizon, and steadily honor our heart's call to unhesitatingly put our projects into action and begin the very first chapter of our new lives…the one that will become the overriding theme for our next calendar year.
The time is now (thru to the end of the year) to both complete our old life's work and projects, but also open to receive the many new insights, concepts and ideas about the vastness of what's to come both for ourselves, but also for the planet as a whole. We are in absolute uncharted territory, in the process of reclaiming our cosmic Self and nature, and the universe within each of us is opening and expanding in ways never before possible. I get the sense and urgency that we are gonna wanna take some serious notes.
Not everything we receive now will be put into play immediately, but in some cases we will receive the 'big picture view' all at once and then it is up to us to figure out the parts, and in what order they belong. This is the feeling I am getting for the next creative deluge, so be astute!
Life changing ideas, information and insights that unfold for many years to come can happen in an instant, in a whisper, in passing, etc. Those in tune with voice of the soul will be gifted with the opportunity to sing in harmony with the choir of the cosmos in order to co-create a world rich in blessings and infinite abundance…a literal heaven on earth.
Our time has come to "inherit thy earth" and so great change is afoot. As always, stay riveted to the pulse of your heart and you will fare well…
THANK YOU, LAUREN. For more from Lauen go to"

Some writing just plain hits the nail on the head square on. It exposes the disease, lances the boil with truthful solutions, and calls the reader to action. The author here is a medical doctor who practiced psychiatry with an expertise on woman's sexuality, with a specialty in helping the millions of women who are sexually frigid.
Being frigid, she describes, is all women who fail to have the consistent and delightful full sexual orgasm during relations with their husband as she describes tastefully in the early chapters of the book. And that's at least 40 million women she says in the 1950's when the book was written.
Personally, most men I know in the church who will open up and tell the truth are all in some form of sexual starvation. Paul and Lori Byerly of The Marriage Bed have an ongoing sex survey that details 80% of all Christian men do not get enough sex from their Christian wives with 50% in a state of sexual starvation.
Sexual celebration that is consistent, proactive, loving, and passionate is the #1 requirement of husbands to know their wives are pleased with them, desire them, and adore them. It is the only way they know the world is right, and that their wives truly love them. Wives who provide this sacrificial service to their husband will reap a benefit that is scarcely seen in the kingdom of God! A husband will do most anything for a wife that respects and honors him in this way…
Marie's chapter here after this short introduction is on the war between men and women and succinctly details the origins of feminism and it's devastating effects on the [Read more…]

Last year set a strong foundation on which OVP will continue to expand. We grew our team and challenged current staff to hone their skills and expand their knowledge. The Community Action Program cultivated strong community leaders in development and the first project cycles came to fruition and met multiple communities' self-identified needs. The successes among the participants in the NOW Program pilot demonstrated the efficacy and impact of the program. Stories and results from the pilot showed us that women built financial literacy skills, achieved their personal financial goals and were empowered to use their voice in their homes and in their broader communities.
We were able to capture our success and outcomes by revamping our Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) strategy. We focused on participatory methods like Most Significant Change, which allowed us to engage deeply with our partner villages. Most Significant Change (MSC) allows us to collect stories of OVP-supported change and further involve program participants and community members in our evaluation and learning process. Through MSC and other participatory M&E tools, we were able to collect and see both the quantitative and qualitative outcomes of our work. Throughout last year—comprised of so many firsts—OVP used this information to continue to refine our model and programs and increase our impact in partner communities.
Musa Gangha, a Community Action Coordinator that joined the OVP team in May 2016, shared, "I have so many highlights of 2016, but the greatest highlight for me was working with communities to solve complex problems in the local context. These solutions are simple if they are locally-solved and use the knowledge and skills that exist within the community." Musa is looking forward to "continuing to work with willing and open-minded CAGs (Community Action Groups) who are eager to solve problems together with their communities. I am not only looking forward to working with the new CAGs but also those in the communities where we are currently working as they undertake new projects this year." After individual and group reflection on OVP's growth and accomplishments of 2016, the entire OVP team is inspired to take on plans for continued impact and thoughtful growth in 2017.
This new year will see the expansion of OVP into four new partner villages beginning first this year with the Community Action Program; Makka and Madina in January and Lalehun and Bandajuma in April. An expected 48 change agents will be trained by OVP as community and development leaders in each villages' Community Action Group (CAG). They will join our current 109 change agents that propel our partner villages toward community visions of unity, resilience and well-being. One of these change agents is OVP's new Project Officer, Philemon Senesie. Philemon was a Contact Tracer during the Ebola outbreak; he responded to cases and traced a victim's contact with others in order to limit to spread and intensity of Ebola. Also an active member of Grima's Community Action Group, Philemon joins the Community Action team as the first Community Action Group member to be hired in a fulltime role with OVP.
The number of OVP-supported projects across our 13 active partner villages will also increase in 2017. OVP will continue to train and empower village CAGs in the planning, design, and implementation of ten new projects. The nine projects that were carried out in 2016 will continue to be finalized and monitored throughout this year. We are already seeing that new projects will also be implemented in new areas. In 2016, all partner communities prioritized projects in hygiene and sanitation, and the Community Action team spent the year undertaking improved latrine and kitchen projects. This year, however, partner villages are identifying new priority challenges (including lack of skills trainings and clean water) to address in their next projects. The OVP team is excited to take on the challenges that come with navigating new project areas and the first second project cycle in the villages of Gbeka, Grima, Mamboma, Majoe, Ngolahun and Yandohun. We are confident that 2017 will be a year of innovation and learning hand-in-hand with our partner villages.
The NOW team is also preparing for another fulfilling year empowering women to plan and manage finances, practice skills in communication and decision-making and use her voice within and beyond household walls. One hundred and twenty (120) women will participate in the NOW program this year across the six villages of Majoe, Ngolahun, Yandohun, Kigbai, Maloma and Pejewa. In addition to facilitating the curriculum in these new villages, the NOW Coordinators will provide ongoing support to the 98 women who graduated from the program last year. By continuing to check in with these participants, the team will be able to track the successes and challenges experienced after women's graduation from NOW. Coordinators will be working in three partner villages each this year and are taking on much more responsibility as the NOW Program grows and continues to improve! The NOW team and OVP leadership will also collaborate this year to explore ways to build on and improve the Program.
To meet the demands of expanding in to new villages and continuing to support and train more NOW participants and CAGs in new and diverse projects, OVP's team will also grow. We are bringing on new members to our staff, including new program coordinators, field support staff and a specialized Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Technical Associate. These new staff will join our inventive and motivated team and we are looking forward to welcoming them to our ever-growing Sierra Leone office!
We expect 2017 to be another year full of growth and learning—within and beyond our office's bamboo fence. We will continue to adapt and implement innovative methods to monitor and evaluate our model and programs so that we can continuously learn alongside our partners where and how we can improve. We are looking forward to another year of expanding our presence, distinguishing our model and working towards sustainable and equitable development by fostering change from within our partner communities.

Seventh-ranked Stanford came from behind to beat UCLA at the Rose Bowl tonight when Ryan Burns connected with JJ Arcega-Whiteside in the final minute of the game to give the Cardinal a 16-13 lead in a game that featured only a pair of offensive touchdowns.
There was a defensive touchdown, too, though. That third touchdown came with zero seconds on the clock, after UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen fumbled on the final play of the game while being sacked and Solomon Thomas returned it; the score was 16-13 at the time, and Stanford was -3.5. Thus I give you an all-time great backdoor cover, which is interesting to you if you are a degenerate:

The Gremlins are forgotten Toons that appear in Epic Mickey and Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two.
Primarily British (although sometimes French, as we see with Gremlin Jamface (as it can be seen based on how they talk in the first game and the sequel, especially with Gus), they are medium sized characters with the ability to flit around using their feet, and are able to teleport using an unknown type of magic. They all wear the same attire with a different color scheme, save for Gremlin Gus and Gremlin Prescott (in Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two) who have some additional pieces on their apparel. All Gremlins have their own wrench ready to use, should the need arise. Whilst Gremlins can walk, they are rarely seen doing so in the game.
In the games, they are an all-male kind.
OriginThe Gremlins originated from the children's book of the same name by Roald Dahl published in 1943. The book itself was based off of the mythical creatures that became stories told by the Royal Air Force. Disney was set to produce the film version of the book, but was abandoned for reasons that to this very day were not entirely known, as no one could agree on the reason. The original book became out of print in 1943. Dark Horse Comics later reprinted the book in 2006.
Many of the Gremlins including Fifinellas (female gremlins) were used as insignias during WWII. One was also shown in an episode of Looney Tunes in which it trashes a plane, however, this design was needless to say bearing an extreme likeness to the Disney version, with Warner Brothers agreeing to change the name of two shorts featuring their Gremlin. The only two Gremlins named in the book are Gus and Jamface.
As they had no animations or personality that the game animators could replicate (with the exception of Gus, who had at least a starting point with his personality) they ended up creating their own version of how they are animated and their personalities in the Wasteland. For instance, Gus gets scared at Lonesome Manor and hides behind Mickey. They also gave the Gremlins the ability to teleport, as frequently seen after a Gremlin is freed from a cage.
In Epic Mickey
Gremlin Gus is the leader of the Gremlins and serves as a guide for Mickey. Almost like Jiminy Cricket from Pinocchio, he is the one that tells the player all the basic controls and how to do actions.
The other Gremlins can be found trapped in cages around the game, with only a few evading capture. These Gremlins will almost always help Mickey out in some way, though a few of them may require some E-Tickets before they aid Mickey in his quest across Wasteland.
In the beginning of the game, Gremlin Gus rescues Mickey from the maniacal Mechanical Arm in the Mad Doctor's Lab in the Dark Beauty Castle. The Gremlins reside in Gremlin Village, which resembles the It's a Small World ride at Disneyland, Mickey could either help or abandon other caged Gremlins.
If Mickey frees all 30 caged Gremlins, Gus will give Mickey the Gremlin Guardian Pin inside the Blot. For information on the caged Gremlins, see Gremlin Cage.
Only 4 Gremlins appear in 2D cutscenes: Gus appears in all the cutscenes (apart from the cutscene of the quest "Hook's Machine"), the second one is a yellow Gremlin who appears in Mean Street and is running away from the Thinner, the third one is Gremlin Prescott in Ostown when he gets out of the safe (provided you rescue him with the Paint path), and the fourth one is a purple Gremlin at Tomorrow City who informs Oswald that the Moonliner Rocket is broken.
In Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two
The Gremlins, including Gremlin Gus, make further appearances in Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. Warren Spector had mentioned before the game's release that the Gremlins would have a much larger role in the game. In truth, only one of the Gremlins had a larger role overall.
Caged Gremlins reappear with electricity bolts around them that Oswald needs to turn off before Mickey can spin attack it. Gremlin Jamface is also introduced to the player, who plays a slightly larger role than most of the other Gremlins, taking over from Gremlin Markus. Along with Prescott and Gus, he is one of the only Gremlins to appear in an animated cutscene.
Perhaps most notably, Gremlin Prescott has been redesigned, and now has a large role in the game. He is now an antagonist, marking the first and only enemy Gremlin in the series.
In 2D cutscenes, only 3 Gremlins appear - Gremlin Gus, Gremlin Prescott and Gremlin Jamface.
Unlike the first game, most generic Gremlins have names based on their clothing, such as Blue Gremlin, for example. More important Gremlins lack this prefix. A look into the game's coding reveals that more Gremlins were supposed to be named.
- Gremlins can see colors that others cannot, according to gremlin Gus in the throne room.
- The physical Gremlins novel can be seen in DECs in Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two.
- In the book and comics, Gremlins are shown to have a variety of different skin colors. In the first Epic Mickey game, they are restricted to yellow and orange skin with the exception of Gus. In Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, Gremlins have a more diverse skin color.
- Also in the book and comics, the Gremlins are shown to be very small, around Jiminy Cricket's size. They appear to be much larger in Epic Mickey. The official height from the book is about 6 inches.
- Gus and Prescott (in Epic Mickey 2) are the only Gremlins to use a unique model.
- In both the Good and Bad Endings of Epic Mickey, the Gremlins mistakenly use Gremlin Gus' model, just recolored. As a result of this, all Gremlins shown in the ending have Gus' signature mustache and hat (recolored to match their suit).
- All Gremlins use a modified model of Gus. This may explain the error in the ending.
- The book shows that Gremlins prefer to walk, though in Epic Mickey, they rarely do so and almost always hover. In the Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two Graphic Novel, Gus is shown to walk more than hover.
- Rescuing the Gremlins may be a possible nod to rescuing Jinjos in Banjo-Kazooie, as the Epic Mickey series' gameplay was partially inspired by the game, and because the Gremlins and Jinjos both must be rescued by finding them.
- While many of the Gremlins in Epic Mickey 2 have names based of their colors, digging deep into the game files, it is revealed that each of the unnamed Gremlins do have names. Few Gremlins from the first game are mentioned, as well completely new Gremlins. It is unknown why Disney didn't add the names and left them forgotten in the files. [1]
- In Epic Mickey 2: Power of Two, the Challenge Who Left These Lying Around depicts a Gremlin with a Yellow Outfit and Purple skin. It's unknown if this Gremlin type would've appeared if not for time constraints.
- Although not seen in Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion, they are mentioned towards the end of the game.
