Universal British Directory 1791
Croom, seven miles from Worcester, a small distance from the road to Bath, is the seat of the Right Hon. the Earl of Coventry, interspersed with a large fine park and pleasure-grounds, drained and beautified by an artificial river, over which are bridges in the Chinese taste; the whole, with Pirton-park adjoining, is very extensive, and beautifully situated. The mansion is of free-stone, on the front of which are his lordship's arms, carved; on the south is a handsome flight of steps, on each side of which are two beautiful carved large lamias, in full length. In 1788 the seat was honoured with a visit by their majesties, when at Cheltenham Spa. The church is a new-built neat Cothic structure, and has a set of musical bells. The noble marble monuments are to the memory of the Coventrys.

Since the US started bombing Syria- I have been trying to understand, why it is that Damascus has remained mostly silent on the raids. Bombing the areas that have been under siege for so long can do nothing but assist Syria in their fight against the takfiri- But, what about the very obvious fact that the US& Israel want Assad gone. And will inevitably try to fire on Syrian targets.
Perhaps Syria does indeed have very superior air defences? And those air defences are cause for concern? The audio isn't available yet, but, will soon be. Regardless I am posting it for your enjoyment, when it does become accessible
For Missions Over Hostile Syria, Air Force Unwrapped Its Newest Jet
Audio for this story from Weekend Edition Saturday will be available at approximately 12:00 p.m. ET.
Available since 2005, the $90 million F-22 fighter was simply more machine than the military had needed - until there were worries about whether Bashar Assad's air defenses would stand down.
Syria's air defence systems would definitely explain why it was the US rolled this stealth fighter out ostensibly against ISIS, when the jet was very clearly overkill. This fact is noted by the Spencer Ackerman @ the Guardian
F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jet makes combat debut against Isis in SyriaThe most sophisticated and expensive warplane in the US arsenal joins assault against foe with minimal anti-air capacity
So, in just over a couple of hours from now, this audio will be available, I will be glued to my computer speakers! :)

Pakistan under hybrid war, national will needed to fight it: COAS
KAMRA - The Army Chief visited National Defence University Thursday, Inter Services Public Relations said.
While addressing the participants of National Security and War Course, General Bajwa congratulated them on successful completion of the course. The COAS' address focused on internal and external challenges facing Pakistan.
COAS Bajwa said, "Pakistan is fully committed to peace and stability both within and without."
Talking about regional peace and development, he said that all stake holders need to get out of conflict paradigm as only cooperative framework can unlock the true potentials of the region. For this Pakistan has done its part in tackling the security challenges which seemed insurmountable a few years ago.
Talking about internal challenges, the Army Chief said, "We have to strive for a Pakistan where rule of law is supreme and where we have the same attitude towards duties as we have towards rights."
The COAS reiterated that a coordinated and committed national approach is effective response to all challenges. Pakistan belongs to all Pakistanis regardless of beliefs or opinions, COAS remarked.
Talking about Hybrid War COAS said that it's the National will which is targeted in such war. For effective counter and response to hybrid war there is a need that national issues having impact on our national security like economy, education, water security and national integration etc must take precedence through relevant national institutions, COAS concluded.

In 2007, I was half way through college, trying to make a long distance relationship work, and volunteering in an inner-city elementary school using creative writing techniques to help prep 4th graders for standardized testing.
In 2007, Etsy was just two years old and that's when I discovered Sarah Blank and her blog, and well, I've been following her ever since because her art, her words, her lifestyle were little glimpses of who I wanted to be and how I wanted to live. I was loving college, but I wanted something more wild, more free, more simplified.
And now, six years later, I'm still wishing I was Sarah Blank. I've carried this little print (pictured at the top of this post) with me from apartment to apartment, house to house since the year I bought it, and it serves as a small reminder of all the littlest dreams still somewhere beneath the life I'm living.
But it's also a reminder of who I was six years ago, and in the same moment it speaks of my desire for travel and to live in a cottage by the sea, it also tunes in to the wall it hung on before all the others.

Dave Chappelle is a legend in the field of comedy, as he hosted his own show that was enormously popular and hilariously funny. What most people probably don't know, is that he faced a lot of struggles, and overcame failure to reach his dreams of being a stand up comedy. And as witty and humorous as he is, he's also profoundly wise and has some genius advice for others too. Here's his top 7 quotes to live by.
"I got a lot of positive people around me."
"I just always loved stand-up. It's like magic. You say something, and a whole room full of people laughs together. Say something else, they laugh again. The fact that people come to see that and participate in that… I don't know, it's just like magic."
"I'm cool with failing so long as I know that there are people around me that love me unconditionally."
"The world can't tell you who you are. You've just got to figure out who you are and be there, for better or worse."
"The hardest thing to do is to be true to yourself, especially when everybody is watching."
"You know, be able to do something great in your life, you're gonna have to realize your failures. You're gonna have to embrace them and figure out how to overcome it."
"My wife asked me once if I weren't a comedian what I would do. I couldn't answer the question. I never imagined doing anything else."

|The Final Showdown
|Playable character(s):
|Jack Bauer
|Bonus item(s):
|Max character model
With nothing left to lose, Jack takes on Max in an epic conclusion.
Summary Edit
Jack begins to climb out of the helicopter as Tony hovers it above the yacht. Chase covers him as he lands on the hull. He heads into the main compartment of the ship and takes out several heavily armed men there. They shoot persistently at him, but Jack manages to take them out. He goes down to the lower level and after passing several corners encounters more enemies who he kills with ease.
Jack finds an armory on the ship and picks up an M4 Carbine which he uses when he encounters more of Max's men. He leaves the inner compartment and is taken back outside by the sweeping corridor which leads to a lower level. Jack takes out three more men and heads further into the ship. He finds a bulletproof vest and wears it to surpass more of Max's men.
He finds a route back outside and hears Kate Warner cry. He realizes she is being held hostage by Max and tries to run after her. However, a battalion of terrorists try to block the way. The combined efforts of Jack on the yacht and Tony and Chase shooting from the chopper enables Jack to pass all the men and reach Max and Kate. Jack just manages to shoot Max in the stomach, avoiding Kate, and keeping her safe.
Kate runs up to Jack and embraces him, while Jack keeps his gun on Max, wincing in pain. He collapses to the floor, and Jack asks Kate if she is alright. She says yes, but sees Max raising his arm, preparing to shoot one last time. She shouts and Jack throws her out of the way. Max shoots a bullet into Jack's stomach, and Jack shoots two more at him, penetrating his bulletproof vest at such a close range, finally killing him. Kate runs up to Jack, collapsed on the floor, and tries to tend to him. He says he will be fine and bats her away, standing up.
Split screen: Jack hobbles around the hull of the yacht. Michelle Dessler, Ryan Chappelle and Adam Kaufman look up at a video feed of the yacht. Tony and Chase bring the chopper in for a landing. Max's dead corpse.
The chopper lands and Chase jumps out and runs to Jack. He catches him just as he falls, and tells Jack that they will get him to a hospital. Jack insists that it is not that bad, but Chase tells Tony that they need to go to a hospital now. Chase and Jack get on the chopper and the pilot takes them away. Tony and Kate stay on the yacht, waiting for other assistance. On the chopper, Jack looks back and sees Tony and Kate, then looks at the ocean, happy that the threat is finally resolved.

|General Information
Clinical rotations and didactic lectures in the first year are designed to equip residents with basic skills in psychiatry to build upon in future training. There is considerable emphasis placed on crisis management and diagnosis.
Clinical Rotations
Other required rotations include two months of neurology and one month of Inpatient Internal Medicine. All are completed at the VA Medical Center; however, first year residents have an option to complete one of the two months of neurology at Arkansas Children's Hospital.
The other three months are completed in outpatient primary care. First year residents spend one month each rotating through the VA ER and VA Urgent Care. The other month offers the option of VA Diagnostic Clinic or the General Pediatric Clinic at Arkansas Children's Hospital.

It's time again for "Dear Wendy Updates," a feature where people I've given advice to in the past let us know whether they followed the advice and how they're doing today. After the jump, we hear from "Miss Independence" who wrote way back in February of last year, complaining about her clingy boyfriend. "He gets upset if I make lunch plans with someone else or if I want to spend a night by myself (he thinks we should spend every night together)." She wrote, "When I explain that I need time to myself, he gets real quiet and then says something like, 'You know that I don't like that.' Then he wants to compromise by 'giving' me the evening to myself, but then sleeping over anyway. And if I don't like that, then I'm being 'stubborn' or 'mean.'"
I saw you needed updates, and because you were so helpful and honest in your reply, I am happy to give you an update. You gave me some advice on my boyfriend and his "clingy" habits. I didn't feel he was controlling until you and all your lovely and concerned readers pointed it out. Then I noticed more and more you were right.
While I agreed whole-heartedly that his behavior was a problem, and while I found the comments and personal stories of the readers to be eye-opening, I wasn't in the emotional or mental state to MOA. You see, it was still hard to mentally relate my situation (which had previously been frustrating, and nothing dire) to the horrible examples I was being given.
For the next four months we had some on-and-off struggles. I would tell him where his boundaries were, he would verbally accept them, and then he would undermine them. Then I found out that he'd been propositioning a few women for sex. As far as I know, he never physically cheated. No one would take him up on his offer. When I confronted him about it, he denied it. Then he said it was just because he was stressed. Then he said it was because he wasn't getting enough from me. He wanted to be my world, but I did things like go see my friend on the fourth of July instead of spend time with him and his family.
Then I broke up with him. I don't regret that it took me four more months [after I wrote for advice] to figure him out. That experience was good. Frustrating, yes, but I learned a lot. Now I'm more aware of what I truly should not compromise on, and I'm receptive to the warning signs.
I'm glad the advice you read last year settled in and you began to see your boyfriend for the tool he was. I'm sorry it took finding out about his propositioning women for sex to MOA, but it sounds like you learned a lot and will notice potential warning signs that much sooner in the future (but hopefully you won't have to). Thanks for your update!
If you're someone I've given advice to in the past, I'd love to hear from you, too. Email me at [email protected] with a link to the original post, and let me know whether you followed the advice and how you're doing now.

At the beginning of January, I shared my body-related goals for the new year. Mid-January, I shared my mind-centered goals. This week, I'll focus on goals that revolve around growing and soothing the soul.
Last year, I set a goal of growing my spirituality. This year's goal is simply a continuation. It is so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day, and forget to take a step back, slow down, and reflect on all the good this life has to offer. Mindfulness. Of the good, the challenging, the world outside my own. I've set the intention of spending time each day to sit and reflect. Count my blessings. Ask for help with the challenges I'm facing. And to spend time in the word.
When I first set the goal to add scripture to my daily reading (last year), I didn't really know where to start. After a bit of poking around, Googling this and that, I came across the She Reads Truth website. What began as a casual group of online strangers, all with the same goal -to be more intentional about reading His word- has grown into a whole community of women after the same pursuit. Their monthly plans –focused reading topics- have taken all the pressure -and to be plainly honest, downright scariness- of selecting the appropriate -read: right- passages. With an online platform, phone app, and purchasable prints, diving into each day's reading couldn't be simpler and more attainable.
Practicing Patience
It may seem more of a concept, and it is definitely not a tangible goal, but practicing daily patience is very high on my list of personal growth. To be completely honest, I am not the most patient of people. I have a slow-burning temper. It does generally take me quite a while to heat up enough to become angry . . . on the outside. Internally, I am quick to become irritable, critical, and have little to no patience. I guess I should applaud myself for being able to keep a cool exterior, and I am in no way trying to overlook that. In that aspect, I am proud of myself. However, being a bit of in internal hothead has its downside. Internally, things don't always look and feel so pretty. So one of this year's words is patience, patience, patience. I can imagine this will especially be key will all the new and exciting changes happening very soon . . . aka baby J's coming arrival!
Culinary Experiments
My last soulful goal for the year is definitely more on the fun, feel-good side. My husband and I do a lot of cooking at home. It's healthier, and let's face it, a whole heck of a lot easier on the ol' bank account. But . . . one thing we tend to do is rotate through the same old recipes week in and week out. Don't get me wrong, they are our tried-and-true favorites, but I don't think there is anything wrong wanting to shake things up a bit. Now, I'm not aspiring to one day morph into Martha Stewart. Let's be practical, with baby boy arriving in two months, turning on the stove will likely be a challenge in itself. I would however, like to experiment and test out more recipes.
Short. Sweet. Simple. I am not looking to turn myself inside out and upside down. Just to make little tweaks here and there that can help enrich this rad and happy life I live.

"The historical reality does not diminish the ease with which…fans of government spending can point to innovations like the internet and the inter-state highways and say 'you didn't build that'. We can only speculate on what might have been produced had the market been allowed to function. Likewise, we can still see the pyramids today and marvel at the innovation that went into their construction, but unfortunately, the wealth and labor stolen from ordinary Egyptians to build them has now been long forgotten." –Peter Klein

Dungeon branches
The page provides a map of the various dungeon branches and how they interconnect. For tips and tricks on surviving the individual branches, see the walkthrough and the branches' pages. You can bring up an in-game overview of the Dungeon and its various branches and portals by pressing Ctrl-O.
Dungeon Overview
New characters start on level one of the Dungeon, except for Abyssal Knights, who begin in the Abyss.
- The Dungeon (15 levels)
- Ecumenical Temple (Dungeon Level 4-7, 1 level)
- The Lair (Dungeon Level 8-11, 6 levels)
- The Swamp (The Lair Level 3-6, 4 levels, rune)
- The Shoals (The Lair Level 3-6, 4 levels, rune, may randomly replace the Swamp)
- The Snake Pit (The Lair Level 3-6, 4 levels, rune)
- The Spider's Nest (The Lair Level 3-6, 4 levels, rune, may randomly replace the Snake Pit)
- The Slime Pits (The Lair Level 6-8, 5 levels, rune)
- Orcish Mines (Dungeon Level 9-12, 4 levels)
- Elven Halls (Orcish Mines Level 3-4, 3 levels)
- The Vaults (Dungeon Level 14-15, 5 levels, rune)
- The Depths (Dungeon Level 15, 5 levels)
- The Vestibule of Hell (Portals in The Depths, 1 level)
- Cocytus (7 levels, rune)
- Gehenna (7 levels, rune)
- Tartarus (7 levels, rune)
- The Iron City of Dis (7 levels, rune)
- The Abyss (Portals in The Depths, 5 endless toroidal levels, rune)
- Pandemonium (Portals in The Depths, infinite number of non-revisitable levels, 5 runes)
- The Realm of Zot (The Depths level 5, 5 levels, Orb of Zot)
- The Vestibule of Hell (Portals in The Depths, 1 level)
There are a total of at least 100 levels in the game (plus two infinite realms).
In addition to the standard dungeon branches, all dungeons will contain a randomly selected variety of vaults with a specific design and theme, and portals to fantastic extra-dimensional realms.
Version 0.19 Dungeon Map Diagram
Miscellaneous Portals
Optional portals to fantastic extra-dimensional realms can be randomly found throughout the Dungeon and its branches. While none of these contain runes, they nearly always contain above-average loot and useful experience. If you know how to handle each one's theme, they can often be cleared without excessive risk. All such portals are single-entry only, and after you exit their realm, they will be gone along with anything you left inside.
Unless otherwise noted, all these portals are temporary, and will disappear if not entered within a certain length of time. There are actually two clocks running: a shorter countdown while you're on the level with the portal, and a longer one when you've gone to another level. If you stay on the level, you may receive increasingly-urgent messages as the timer runs out, and the portal's appearance (check with 'x', then 'v') may indicate how much of the timer has expired. When a portal on your current level expires, you will get a message to the effect of, "The walls and floor of the dungeon suddenly vibrate!" Portals will not start closing until you reach the floor that they are on, so there's no need to rush through early floors in order to access them.
- Bailey - A keep guarded by gnolls, goblins, and/or orcs
- Bazaar - Shopping spree! Portals to bazaars are usually temporary but may rarely be permanent. Permanent ones will not be announced.
- Ice Cave - Freezing clouds, wild animals, and occasionally icy demons.
- Labyrinth - A shifting maze with an exit at the center guarded by a minotaur. Bring extra food!
- Ossuary - A small tomb filled with the undead and mummies.
- The Sewers - Fetid waterways teeming with rats, snakes, and occasionally nastier things.
- Treasure trove - Contains several acquirement-level items, but getting in requires a rare and valuable item in return. Is always permanent.
- Volcano - Fire and lava everywhere. Also lava-dwelling creatures.
- Wizard Laboratory - The abandoned laboratory of one of several famous mages.
- Ziggurat - The ultimate challenge: 27 floors of increasingly difficult battles, but with riches untold for those who win through. Is always permanent, though frequently appears in the one-time-entry levels of Pandemonium.

Al-Qaeda 'pledges allegiance' to embattled new Taliban leader
"We pledge our allegiance ... to the commander of the faithful, Mullah Mohammad Akhtar Mansour, may God protect him," said an as-yet-unverified recorded message that nonetheless shares similarities with previous missives sent out by the group responsible for the 9/11 attacks.
"As leader of the al Qaeda organization for jihad, I offer our pledge of allegiance, renewing the path of Sheikh Osama [bin Laden] and the devoted martyrs in their pledge to the commander of the faithful, the holy warrior Mullah Omar."
READ MORE: Afghan Taliban reportedly elects new supreme leader
Mansour was promoted to the leader of the Islamist group, which controls large swathes of land in the south of Afghanistan, after the Taliban admitted that his predecessor Mullah Mohammed Omar died over two years ago, in April 2013.
Al-Qaeda, which enjoys a symbiotic relationship with the Taliban, and whose leaders may be safeguarded in the same areas it operates, previously repeatedly declared loyalty to Omar.
Mansour, Omar's longtime deputy, who has reportedly been in day-to-day command of the Taliban since 2010, was elected in a meeting staged in the Pakistani city of Quetta last month.
But he has not received unanimous support, with the official declaration of Omar's death exposing a splintering leadership. Omar's younger brother recorded a message saying his family did not endorse the successor, and media reported that over a dozen Taliban members staged a walkout during the council where Mansour was elected.
Al-Qaeda's support, delivered in the rare message, could give Mansour's legitimacy a boost.
Both, Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, are facing fundamental challenges, not least from the upstart Islamic State.
Al-Qaeda, which once symbolized Islamic radicalism, with a series of terrorist attacks and longer-term insurgencies, has seen support and funding ebb away towards ISIS, which was formed from its Iraqi affiliate. Al-Qaeda has broken its diplomatic ties with Islamic State, and has condemned its brutal tactics in conquered areas as un-Islamic and "barbaric."
READ MORE: Taliban condemns 'irresponsible, ignorant' ISIS for graphic execution of Afghan prisoners
The Taliban has also seen threats of defections to the fresher and more radical Islamic State in Afghanistan. Omar was widely seen as in the pocket of the Pakistani security services, who may have offered him safe houses for a decade. In a bid to retain hardline support, Mansour has proclaimed his independence, and has poured cold water on the prospect of new peace negotiations with the Afghan government, which had been set in motion earlier this year.

It's ANOTHER glorious weekend (if you're not having a good summer move to Toronto...or anywhere else in Ontario...I'll pretty much guarantee you sun and fun :) ). We're heading to a BBQ with friends this afternoon, and have already hit the beach on Friday and a Blue Jays game yesterday - good little weekend we have going on.
I hope everyone has a great Canada Day wherever you are and whatever you are doing. Oh, and for all my readers in or visiting Ottawa - you're in the best place in the world for July 1.

I dreamed that I was working for Taco Bell and I was sent into their corporate offices to do a site inspection. They weren't doing any coaching and so I built them coaching forms and was trying to help them. There were great offices and classrooms. They had deals where you could adjust every piece of them and put your arms and legs wherever was comfortable. Everyone was super friendly and was trying to use them. They were trying to apply the concept of abandoned calls to the drive through but I tried to explain it didn't work that way. Then I went into a training led by Karen. Everyone was really engaged and actively participating in the class- we were leaning left and right, and every time a guy behind her raised his hand we raised out hand. We took a break from the training and we got on a small jet and were flying. I was up wandering around talking to people and someone asked if I had thought about opening my own business and I was saying that no, I wasn't afraid of changing industries because as long as you have a good product, good marketing/sales and good customer support, the rest would fall into place. About that time the plane got really turbulent. We were all trying to get back to our seats. As I put on my seatbelt the plane flipped and i realized were going to crash. We landed in a field and I thought we were going to run into a tree. We stopped just short but I was trying to brace for impact. I tried to protect my head and one leg hoping I could crawl out. Everyone was ok but we were trying to get off the plane before it caught on fire and I was trying to call Michael. My phone had upgrades while it was off and I couldn't figure out how to do it and I accidentally did a group call with Michael and Monica. She answered and I said I was sorry I wasn't trying to call her and she said, "well why did I answer then?" I was so frustrated and in shock I think I said that my plane crashed but I was ok and trying to call Michael. Then I woke up.

School Rules
I dreamed I was back in school and didn't have the proper supplies. I had gone upstairs and was going to English. (I wasn't sure I had the right class.) when I got there I saw my old elementary school friend Alison was there and had brought a whole pack of plain dark colored markers. I had a multi colored pack and remembered I was supposed to have the other. The teacher was a mean old woman so I expected to get in trouble.
The log in my own eye?
I dreamed that one of Dylan's friends invited me to go to Hawaii at the last minute. Their family had a private plane and it was a spur of the moment trip. In my dream, though, I was traveling with people my own age.
Gerald, an old teacher of mine who passed away several years ago, was flying the plane. We arrived and it was still early morning. Out first stop was their house but not everyone was awake. It was only 9 am there. I sat outside on a bench and petted a gray kitten I called Smokey. Buster was there and at first they were afraid of each other but then he started licking the kitten and they became friends. They had a bowl of candy that included a few pieces of candy and then some nerds. I ate it all and then felt guilty so was planning to buy them replacement candy. I was eating right out of the bowl and so I got all the nerds wet and so ate them all. I was waiting until a little later to call my parents and tell them where I was.
Dylan's Friend's sister came out and I mentioned a friend he no longer hangs out with. She said, "Oh, you still remember the night ladies?" And I said of course I did.
Then we were supposed to go and volunteer at a place (nursing home I think.) as everyone was walking in, something started hurting my eye. I went into a CVS – like store to get eye drops. As I walked in, an older lady I didn't know said she had some so I didn't have to buy them but I ignored her. This was the fanciest CVS I had ever seen and looked more like a cosmetics counter in a high end department store. I started worrying that the eye drops, having to be flown in, would be really expensive. I never found any, so I went in the bathroom. There was a big red mark in my left eye and I rinsed it with water. When I came out, the older lady had waited for me and handed me the eye drops. They were scented and I was worried they might irritate my eye. I struggled to put them in- I squeezed and nothing came out but eventually it did and it helped my eye a lot.
I had gone to this place to work on my psychic abilities. When I got there there was a wonderful older woman there helping me and I could immediately start to see a difference. She taught me to fly and there was a record player in the room that somehow magnified things back to me. So I would ask a question and then could hear the answer from this machine. At one point during our session there were legs with yellow shoes that belonged to a life sized doll hanging outside the window. I pointed them out and she said "oh dear" and brought the doll in through the window. And we hugged it and it was fine then. She left, presumably to handle that., and I laid on the bed to practice. I couldn't fly or do anything but the energy was getting stronger and stronger. I could feel the vibrations but instead of me moving I pulled everything toward me. When I stopped she was outside the door but didn't want to interrupt. She was just starting to talk to me about what happened when I woke up.. I was sweaty and shaky.
At one point we were talking about my aunt Shelly and she said that something could be explained by mental illness. I told her she had depression.
Last Dance
I dreamed I was at some kind of a school dance. It was the kids' school though not mine. One of their teachers was supposed to dance and he picked me to dance with. I told him that he should choose another mom but he said no and so I felt proud that he picked me. Afterward, he went into a locker room. I left him a gift outside the door and left. I thought to myself that I should have proposed to him. Then I went to catch a flight. It was an international flight and I was supposed to be on it an hour early. I was sitting in the gate area reading a book. It had a terrible ending- just suddenly ended without closure. I got up and realized my flight had already boarded and they wouldn't let me on. I finally got on and it was the Olympic swimming team but they were all sick and quarantined with all these tubes. It was awful.
A Classroom Goldilocks
I was in school, and I was taking a final exam of some sort. I was in a classroom that wasn't my normal one, because someone called and asked what room I was in, and I had to look around for clues. I told them that it looked like a history classroom.
The test was made up of watching a commercial about bears and answering questions about the commercial. The top section was a scorecard, and the bottom was a table designed for comments. The test was really hard, and it felt like I worked on it for a really long time. Finally, I finished. The teacher, who I liked, was calling us in one by one to review the test. When it was my turn, I had missed many of the items in the scorecard, and most of the comments (many of which I had left blank.) I had gotten a 55% for a score, and I was devastated. I started to tell her that I just didn't want to do this – that I didn't want to spend an hour trying to understand a 30 second commercial, but then she gave me the chance to do it over (and had done so for a few other people as well) so I was glad that I didn't tell her I didn't want to do it.
First, she gave me a giant blanket, and it was too big and unwieldy for me to write on. I was on the floor and tried going into a closet, but once I wrote something on the blanket, it was so big that I couldn't find the answer again.
I then tried again on the original test paper, but it was so tiny, I couldn't even fit a few words in the spaces, and I had decided I would write a lot of detail about every question to try to make up for it.
Finally, I settled on using a spiral bound notebook, and I would first write the question, then give the numeric answer, and then write details/comments after that. I realized as I started writing the first question in the notebook that I had read all of the questions wrong to start with. For example, the first question was not a rating about the commercial itself, it was about how the bears felt. It was really hard to understand the question and also to stay focused.
As a child, I never really minded school as much as some others did. The fact that I wasn't lost, and I didn't THINK I was ill prepared for the test was a good sign (normally those are the things I struggle with when I dream about school.) This dream was different since I thought I had done well, and then my teacher (my shadow self) told me I had misunderstood. On the bright side, the path of correction was clear – I had the chance to do it over again, and this time, read the instructions and read the questions more clearly.
Does this mean that there is something in my life that I've misunderstood? Something that I need to re-think and do differently? How do I figure out what part of my life that is?
I think that maybe I've gotten distracted with the "psychic" Facebook group that I joined. While it's interesting and really neat to read about some of the topics, they seem to be focused on "mediumship" and let's face it, I have no desire to communicate with those who have passed on. It's compelling to try to see ghostly faces in pictures that are posted, but not really of much value to me and what I want to do in my life. On the flip side, the fact that I didn't want to do the analysis of the commercial is pretty indicative of how I feel about interpreting my dreams sometimes. The big ones – the ones that have strong emotions or easy meanings or synchronicity in my waking life – those are easy! But to sit down and pull apart dreams that (on the surface) seem so random is a bit more challenging – especially with all of the potential work that could go into it.
The fact that I was in a history room… again, I'm not necessarily interested in history on the surface. I never enjoyed that subject in school (although as an adult, when I have specific ties to a part of history, it becomes more interesting.) But the setting is said to be an important part of the dream.
The fact that the commercial was about bears – hmmm, I don't have any particular history with bears. I did have another dream about bears, and much like this one, it was very frustrating and tiring. In both cases, I was not very familiar with bears, and I was frustrated with the process of researching them and learning more about them. Could bears be my dreams? Scary, dangerous to my ego, something I'm very unfamiliar with?
The fact that when I went back and read the question closer, it was asking about the feeling of the bears could point to my own feelings. How do I FEEL about what's happening? How do I FEEL about the dreams?
I included something about Goldilocks in the title of this post, because a) of course there were bears but b) when trying to resolve the situation I had to try something too big (the blanket), too small (the test paper) and ultimately find something JUST RIGHT (the notebook.) I suppose with any new endeavor, there is a bit of trial and error, and especially when working with symbols, it's easy to dig too deep or remain too much on the surface. By going back to the basics (with my dream notebook?) and making sure I try to understand the question, perhaps that will help me stay focused on what God is asking me to hear.
School's out for the summer (part 2)
I was at school, and it was the last few days before school was out for the summer. I didn't know which class was next, but unlike my normal dreams (when I have no idea where to go or how to find out) this time I had a schedule. I thought to myself that I never used to forget where I was going next while I was in school. I went to a history class (I think it was history.) The teacher asked me to arrange for an overhead projector for the next class. I also needed to do that for my science class. Someone brought me the book that I needed to fill out to check out the equipment, and I started to fill out the form to reserve it. Then in my science class, I left to go drop them off at the front desk. After school, I was walking out and the history teacher was at the front desk. He yelled out to pick up the projector on the way to class. I was thinking it would be too heavy for me, but then I realized he was asking the guy behind me to do it. The guy was in my class, but I didn't know him.
We were supposed to watch the new Peanuts movie in class on the last day. It had not yet been released, but it was going straight to the DVD. I was telling Mom about it – in the plot, Lucy killed all the others and it was a comedy – not a normal Peanuts movie. I wondered if it would be appropriate, and if we were on a waiting list to get it, or if we should try to download it via iTunes. Then we were stuck in traffic, and I thought we were going to be watching in our cars and blocking traffic. (In another part of the dream, we saw protesters blocking traffic too.) Alex had to get home because over the summer, he was going to be working three jobs – two were at different hotels and a third job was not related but I don't remember.

School's Out for the Summer (part 1)
It was the last day of school, and no one wanted to work. The teacher (?) or maybe principal (?) asked me if I had any face powder or lip gloss she could use. I said I wasn't sure if I had any that was unopened, but I went to my car, and I did. The lipgloss was weird – it had a feather or fuzzy thing as an applicator, and that's why I had never used it. In the hallway, there was a group of girls sitting at a big round table. They stopped me and asked, "Do you think ______(some boy) likes it when we sit here?" I said that I didn't know, but to myself I was pretty sure he hadn't even noticed. I went into the classroom with my backpack, and everyone was just milling around. Outside, there were planes being flown by students – taking off and landing. One was an old one, and one was very modern. Ms. Taylor was there and said "I remember when both of those came out." (In real life, she's not old enough to remember the old one!) IN had brought a recipe for bacon cheeseburger hamburger steak, and we were in a classroom with a kitchen (like a home ec room) so some people made it, but I didn't eat it because I said I didn't like hamburger steak. I was looking for some veggies and hoping there were brussel sprouts. Someone said they only used a handful of beef to make the hamburger steak, and I wondered what else was in them!
School Cruisin'
I was about to go on a cruise with a girlfriend (Rachel? Corrina?) We were in an elementary school looking for a classroom. It was a school I'd been in before (in my dream.) "My" elementary but it wasn't Halfway. But the building was configured similarly – like a "T" but car riders were picked up outside either end.
We found the right classroom but her brother was supposed to pick us up, but he didn't. So we went back inside. Several teachers were dancing around – we knew they were going on the cruise too. I had to go to the bathroom (#2) and so went. My friend followed me. The door wouldn't close so she manhandled it closed. Then she was staring over the top. I asked her to leave. The seat was wet and I had to dry it. When we went back out there was a call, and she said her sister in law was in a wreck – her name was Mary Lea. I thought it was Mary Lea M. from church. I was trying to send her either $250 for perfume or a bottle. It got really confusing there. Then I realized I didn't have enough money and she wasn't the one in the wreck. Michael and I went to her house and she was trying to give me $200 in $100 bills to pay for it. I was so confused because it didn't cost that much, and Michael was trying to hurry me. At one point, he started driving, and the $100 bills that were in the backseat flew everywhere!

Boston Lyric Opera, like most arts organizations, has a devoted Board, loyal Subscribers, and a sturdy group of volunteers. We couldn't do what we do without them! We reached out to some of our "biggest fans" to learn why they choose to support BLO and how they came to love opera.
Hugh (Subscriber, Volunteer)
Yuen (PRIMA Member)
Sasha (PRIMA Member, Volunteer)
Jane (Board Member, Subscriber, Volunteer)
Hugh: A friend of mine used to work in the development office and I started volunteering to help her out and I just continued after that. Working as a volunteer has made me appreciate all the work that goes into the productions. I am now a subscriber as well.
Yuen: While attending Graduate School [in the mid-90's] I managed to see one BLO production a year. I then moved away for work and came back to the area in 2008, and have since seen 10 BLO productions. I'm also a fan of the BLO/Landmarks Orchestra concert on the Esplanade-- it serves as my "opera fix" during the summer when BLO is dark!
Sasha: In 2009, the Met was planning a new production of Carmen that I wanted to attend. While researching the Met cast, I noticed that Mercedes was to be played by Boston's Sandra Piques Eddy, who in turn was [soon] to play Idamante in Mozart's Idomeneo at BLO. That led me to the BLO website, which revealed that the opening production of their upcoming season was also Carmen! In August of 2009 I signed up to become a BLO volunteer and, as the saying goes, "the rest is history."
Jane: We attended a few BLO productions in the 1980s and began subscribing in the early 1990s. Upon retiring in 2005 I began working as a volunteer, and last January I joined the [Board of] Overseers. Currently I retain all of those hats!
Hugh: Growing up, classical music was always part of my life. I remember as a child helping my family prep for elaborate after-concert parties. I studied piano and flute as a child as well. Now music is such an important part of my life that I often use the #musicislife on twitter. (Follow Hugh the "truth seeker and music lover" on Twitter @hughinboston)
Yuen: I have always enjoyed classical music, but I caught the "opera bug" when I was 19 during my junior year abroad in London. My father encouraged me to see opera [while I was there], so I went to Covent Garden, sat in the cheap "Upper Slip" seats and I was hooked!
Sasha: I grew up in Russia, in St. Petersburg (or Leningrad as it was then called). None of my parents or grandparents are musicians, but they instilled in me an appreciation and respect for opera, ballet and classical music. I absorbed popular operatic excerpts by watching concerts on TV and taking theory classes in music school, so I grew up with a certain level of respect for the art form. But it wasn't until I started attending the Met Opera "Live in HD" series in 2007 (prompted by my opera-loving grandfather), that I really started to get interested in the opera plots, characters and singers. In addition to having subtitles, I liked the interviews and behind-the-scenes shots, which helped to de-mystify the art form. (Sasha Tweets about opera and classical concerts in Boston and NYC. She is also a co-organizer of @BostonClassical and @BostonOpera MeetUps. Follow Sasha on Twitter @sasherka)
Jane: When I was in college a friend, who was studying opera, made a highlights tape for me as a thank-you gift for a favor. I knew that he would question me about it and nag me until I listened to it so I did, grumbling all the way to the tape recorder. He had chosen his selections well, however, because they had instant appeal for me. Even more appealing was the story line of each opera-- I had to know more! I have never stopped seeking.
Hugh: Just try one out! And keep an open mind.
Yuen: Don't go to an opera when you've had a long day at work, or have to get up at 6am the next day, or have a big project/presentation due. And don't expect your very first opera to blow you away. It may take 2 or 3 tries.
Sasha: Go online and do some research. Decide if you want a comedic opera or a tragic one. A fan of Shakespeare? Look up an adaptation. Maybe you heard an operatic-sounding song in a movie? Why not look up the original source? YouTube is a great resource! Once you decide on a performance to attend, do your homework: read about the composer, production notes, maybe even a synopsis (though sometimes it's better not to be spoiled ahead of time). The more I learn, the more I realize there is a life's worth of operas to discover. Enjoy the ride!
Jane: Opera is an art form worth getting involved with for a multitude of reasons, one of which is the window into human emotions it inevitably opens. Some people respond to art through their intellect-- [they try to] understand what the artist intended by learning about the historical context of the time of the work's creation. Others just plunge right in and follow where their senses lead them. Figure out what sort of art consumer you are and try that approach to opera. If it doesn't work try another approach. If you are fortunate you will find yourself responding on both these levels and your life will be immeasurably enhanced.

Newborns. Every newborn is different, you have some that are calm and easily flexible, others that are full of smiles but fight their sleep. It is best for baby to be between 5-14 days as they are the most flexible and sleepier at that age.

About this item
Everyone knows the name Calamity Jane. Scores of dime novels and movie and TV Westerns have portrayed this original Wild West woman as an adventuresome, gun-toting hellion. Although Calamity Jane has probably been written about more than any other woman of the nineteenth-century American West, fiction and legend have largely obscured the facts of her life. This lively, concise, and exhaustively researched biography traces the real person from the Missouri farm where she was born in 1856 through the development of her notorious persona as a Wild West heroine.Before Calamity Jane became a legend, she was Martha Canary, orphaned when she was only eleven years old. From a young age she traveled fearlessly, worked with men, smoked, chewed tobacco, and drank.

4 Steps to Grooming Your Beard
Category : Updates
A man's beard, or facial hair is one of the most recognizable features in a man. Nonetheless, some like their chins and cheeks smooth, whereas others like to have some substance over there, trimmed or bushy. Either way, your beard should not appear unkempt at any one time, especially if you choose to grow a mustache or any other kind of beard style you find favorite. Facial hair needs to be clean, brushed, and trimmed to give you an edge on that look you're looking for. But then again, boys will be boys. No offense, but not every man out there knows how to keep their beard groomed, even when they so badly want to. Well, here are 4 steps to grooming your beard that you might want to check out badly!
Find A Reliable Beard Grooming Kit
There's a huge variety of grooming kits for beards out there that you can go for if you want to keep it tidy and sleek for your facial hair. Most of these kits come with beard cleaners, trimmers, shavers, shampoos, and conditioners. Some of them come with several sizes of beard comb attachments to allow you to trim your beard into your desired size. In case you don't have one, you can find reviews for some of the best beard grooming kits Beardholic.com. Some of the best ones include shavers, trimmers, shampoos, conditioners, oils, combs, and other items in the package.
Wash Your Beard – (with a suitable cleanser and warm water)
Regardless of its current size, shape or length, one of the best ways to give you beard some love is to wash it regularly. When dust, sweat, and skin cells get trapped in between or at the roots of your beards, itchiness and discomfort can easily become the order of the day. Washing your beard with a quality cleanser can help get rid of this, not forgetting that it's good for personal sanitation. There are many types of beard wash products, including beard shampoos and moisturizers. While cleansing it, beard shampoo allows your beard to retain its essential oils for that shiny and healthy look.
Comb it Out
Ask the ladies, and most of them will probably tell you that a shaggy, unkempt beard is nothing near sexy. Don't even think about the impression a shaggy grown-out beard can create in a corporate meeting or official setting. Combing is an essential part of beard grooming that you shouldn't ignore. Whether or not you're going to simply trim it or cut it all down, combing is always a crucial step to grooming your beard. Lucky enough, as hinted out above, most beard grooming kits come with several sizes of beard combs including shaver attachments.
Trim It and Oil It
Nothing is more frustrating than an overgrown beard. And before you start cursing, you don't have to shave it all down if you don't want to. However, any size of beard could use a trim at least after every few days to a week. Use a manual or electric trimmer to keep your beard stunning and symmetrical regardless of its size.
Beards are great, especially when well maintained. In most cases, this involves washing, combing, trimming, and oiling. With the above tips, nothing will literally stand between you and a great-looking beard, no matter how long or short it is.

In 1954, Congress was in the middle of a massive overhaul of the federal tax code. Then-Senator Lyndon Johnson slipped in an amendment prohibiting church pastors from supporting or opposing candidates.
Why would he suddenly take an interest in that? He was running for re-election that year.
His opponents had begun telling church members about his liberal record and the act of voter fraud that gave him an 87-vote statewide victory in the previous election.
So, he made talking about him in church illegal. The Johnson Amendment was speech suppression, pure and simple.
Pastors can't speak in support of or opposition to political candidates because 63 years ago a corrupt politician wanted to mess with Texans.

Peachtree Corners neighbors fight proposed crematory
By Tony Thomas Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2014
GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — Dozens of Peachtree Corners residents are fighting to keep a local funeral home from adding a crematory to its property.
The residents fear the addition will impact their health and property values, but the funeral home owner says he knows of no such dangers.
Christy Creedon is leading the effort to convince the Peachtree Corners City Council to reject the zoning change request by the Crowell Brothers Peachtree Chapel Funeral Directors located on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard.
"It is such an uncomfortable idea to have a commercial incinerator that close to our property and our home and where our children spend their days and their evenings," Creedon said.
The Crowell Brothers want to add the crematory inside the back portion of their existing facility.
Owner Jeff Crowell showed Channel 2's Tony Thomas an architect's drawings of what the addition would look like. Basically, it would add only a chimney-like smokestack to the top of the building.
By agreement with the city, if approved, the crematory could only be operated during business hours and Crowell Brothers could only provide services to their own customers.
"The demand for cremation is becoming greater and greater every day and we are trying to offer that service," Crowell said.
Crowell said his company offers cremation services, but does it offsite through another company. Crowell says 44 percent of the families coming to Crowell Brothers request cremation, and that number is only growing.
Crowell told Thomas he understands many people still find the idea of cremation, especially when it's being done near their homes, to be creepy.
"We are battling perception, and 99 percent of most cases is because people just don't understand the process of cremating someone," Crowell said.
Neighbors say they are fighting for more than just to keep a crematory out of their neighborhood. They also feel making the zoning change would go against why the new city was formed less than three years ago.
"They really don't have the right type of property and it doesn't fit with the neighborhoods or the businesses locally in this community," said resident Harry Frazer.
"There are so many lovely areas of this city where this could happen as well," Creedon said.
She warns other residents on the other side of the city that if this is passed, in her view, any commercial property in the city is then fair game.
Residents planned to pack a city council meeting Tuesday night, where a first vote on the question was planned. A final vote won't be taken until late October. Crowell said if the change is approved, he hopes to have the crematory installed and working by sometime in April.
Peachtree Corners makes unanimous vote against crematory
Posted: Oct 21, 2014 8:13 PM EDT Updated: Nov 18, 2014 9:25 PM EST
By Rodney Harris
After an hour of public comment and questions from the city council, Peachtree Corners city leaders voted against allowing Crowell Brothers Funeral Homes to build a crematory in addition to the property it currently uses as a cemetery.
Jeff Crowell, the owner of Crowell Brothers Funeral Home, did not want to talk on camera after the decision and only said, "I am very disappointed."
Crowell said the company has been in business for 56 years. He asked city councilors for a special-use permit to open the crematory on his property since the city is not currently zoned for his plans.
"Forty-four percent of our business is asking to be cremated," said Crowell.
Hundreds attended the meeting in protest of the crematory. Many wore red shirts and held signs. One child wore a gas mask.
The main concern for community members was that the chemicals emitted through the incineration of bodies would release harmful chemicals. Specific information and studies shows that mercury is released.
"They are very real fears that is what the newest research is documenting," Christy Creedon said.
Creedon led the charge in her community against the crematory. Creedon said there is too little information available to prove the mercury released is harmful long term. She said Tuesday night was a major victory.
"It is a zoning issue pure and clear, and the zoning protects the citizens from all those issues from the health, from the environmental impacts, from the resale value impacts and the city upheld its zoning laws tonight and I am very grateful," Creedon said. "I am grateful for local government grateful for a city where we can have the constituents voices be heard and honored."
Crematory application denied in Peachtree Corners
By Chris Stephens Tuesday, October 21, 2014
PEACHTREE CORNERS — More than 200 residents crammed into City Hall on Tuesday as the Peachtree Corners City Council heard arguments from both sides on a proposed re-zoning to allow for a crematory within the city limits.
#The proposed crematory was set to go on the property of Crowell Brothers Funeral Home at 5051 Peachtree Industrial Blvd.
#The public hearing portion of the proposal allowed for 20 minutes for each side to speak, doubled from 10 minutes normally given to each side during a public hearing.
#In the end, the council voted unanimously voted to deny the application, despite the fact that the city's planning commission voted to approve the application.
#"This is a major victory for us," said Christy Creedon, a resident against the proposed crematory. "We've worked hard for the last eight weeks in a non-stop effort to get this turned down. This is local government at its finest. It's one of the reasons why I originally voted to incorporate Peachtree Corners."
#The proposed application, which had passionate followers on both sides, would have amended the city's zoning map to allow for the crematory to be located on the property, with certain conditions as recommended by the planning commission. Conditions included the chimney be enclosed, no exterior advertisement for cremation services allowed on the property and limited operating hours, among others.
#Jeff Crowell, one of the owners of the business, said his main reason for wanting cremation services on site was for the families of the city.
#"We don't want to be restricted from giving them the best services," Crowell said. "We want this because of the trust factor. Families trust us to take care of their loved ones during one of the hardest times of their life."
#Tom Bains spoke in support of Crowell saying he understood there was a lot of emotion involved.
#"I know that when I die, I want to be cremated," he said. "I don't want to be transported someplace else."
#Stewart Teague, who represented United Citizens of Peachtree Corners Inc., said this isn't some overnight sensation that got the residents fired up.
#"The residents have done their research," he said. "When the residents moved into their existing homes, they didn't expect a crematory to be next to them. We're talking about a location that is not appropriate."
#It's that location that was the most contentious as there is a mix of commercial and residential lots throughout the area.
#For Stephanie Waters, the research included going to other funeral homes that involved cremation services and getting reactions of people living and working nearby.
#One video showed an interview with a man at a nearby park who said that he could definitely smell the fumes coming out of the building and it didn't make him comfortable.
#"We can't use the best case short-term to affect long-term," Waters said.
#In the end, councilwoman Jeanne Aulbach's decision came down to two things — "the biggest factor is that it is designated C-2 commercial and is also near residential. Industrial doesn't fit that. Also, there was overwhelming opposition from residents and I felt the support was made up of (mostly) people who had no skin in the game."
#Aulbach spoke of the more than 300 emails she received in opposition to the measure, but also noted that she would like to see a crematory in the city.
#"I would like to see one in the appropriate location," she said. "We do need cremation, just in the right place."
Peachtree Corners Strikes Down Proposal to Build Crematory
Jeremy Campbell, WXIA 5:27 a.m. EDT October 22, 2014
PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga. (WXIA) – A proposed crematorium was struck down by Peachtree Corners City Council after residents fought to keep a crematorium from being built near their homes.
"They could not reassure me about the emission levels and in fact we found evidence to the contrary, so we just couldn't get comfortable for our families," said Stephanie Waters.
Many of the homeowners packed a meeting Tuesday evening, said they feel their concerns were brushed aside during an earlier vote before the county's planning commission. Their goal for Tuesday was to ensure that the number and volume of those in opposition make them impossible to ignore.
Peachtree Corners residents, like Tracy Nowak, planned to turn up the heat in opposition to plans to build a crematorium across the street from their neighborhood.
"As a mother in this beautiful community, it's really hard to imagine that type of business right here, at our homes," Nowak said.
The city council voted against a proposal to allow Crowell Brothers Funeral Home to add a crematory to their existing facility. The business owners say the impact on the public will be negligible, and that the building's design will largely disguise the crematory.
"We are just very disappointed. We are going to have to regroup," said owner Jeff Crowell.
He says he is going to meet with his team to determine whether to reapply or drop the idea altogether.
"It's completely out of sight," said a representative from the funeral home. "The only difference in the structure of our funeral home is that the façade is going to be around the stack, and it's going to look like a chimney."
Neighbors who had posted signs in opposition to the crematory, say they feared it would endanger their children's health and damage their property values.
"I believe in cremation," said homeowner Claudine Asip. "But not where it could harm children and the air we breathe, and I don't see where there's any reason that we should have that there."
The proposal easily passed the planning commission, setting the stage for the fiery and passionate debate Tuesday night.

SaLuSa: February 24, 2012
You hunger for the truth as you come to realize that for eons of time it has been kept from you, and that much of what you view as your history has been fabricated to suit the aims of those involved.
Perhaps the most important omission is evidence of our visitations to Earth, and the contacts we have made. However, through archaeology for those who eyes to see, there is evidence going back thousands of years.
Some of it is undeniable, even to the point of showing that craft were in your skies long before you took to the air.
If it had already been accepted that we were constant visitors to your Earth, and had meaningful contacts when we imparted knowledge to you, it would have been so much easier to make Disclosure. In fact, in some ways it might not have even been necessary to do it at all, as our link to you would have been understood, and our visits would have already been openly taking place.
So it is now left to our Allies to create such pressure on your Government, that they will ultimately have to give in to your request for the truth to be acknowledged where we are concerned. Both your Government and Military are well aware that in one way or another, our presence will soon be made known if only because we are in conflict with those who refuse to make peace, and instead create war.
It can commence as soon as the media decide to allow the truth to be put into print, and that outright lies and false information are rejected. There are some moves towards such changes but it is not fast enough for us, so strong pressure will be applied until the breakthrough occurs. We along with you have waited patiently for a long time to see the dark Ones move aside and allow the New Age to begin. The Galactic Federation will consider direct action if the impasse remains much longer. They know that we have already done where their underground bases are concerned, and that we mean business when we decide to act. Furthermore, they do not have the means to thwart our plans any longer, as the Light is formidable when used for the good of all.
Like you, we want to see quick progress and not continual delays, and we intend to make sure things begin to happen that everyone will be aware of. There is much in progress and it is creating openings for our allies, and we are encouraging them to step in and take them. Be assured that results are going to come to your notice, and it will be the time when you will absolutely know the countdown to Ascension has started. That you have a date for the completion of this cycle is wonderful, as it means you have something to set your sights upon as you count the days that remain. The people that front the freedom movements that press for release from the old ways of dictatorship, are really the pioneers that have set the scene for even greater achievements. All changes have to commence somewhere and sometime, and from small beginnings the Light shall take over from the dark and deliver the promises made to you.
Sit tight yet not in tension as all is well and you will find that all of a sudden a whole series of events will take place, clearly showing you that your expectations are being fulfilled. We protect you and Mother Earth and have done so for millennia of time, and shall continue to do so. It will be more obvious when we can finally meet with you openly, and when we can it should be a most enjoyable change of direction for you. To know that you are finally safe from the attentions of the last cabal will bring a rush of joy and excitement, and a great time acting out the final plan for your Ascension. For some time now whether or not you have personally realized it, your consciousness levels have grown and that process is speeding up until you acquire full consciousness. It is another area of development that we shall help you with as soon as it is possible.
When you think of what is planned for you, we hope it lifts up your hearts and you spread the feeling of happiness it should bring you. Naturally those souls that have remained with closed eyes and ears where Ascension is concerned, will be the ones confused and even frightened of the changes for which they have not made preparations. They deserve the same attention and help as anyone else, so that they may also leave duality on Earth in the knowledge of where their future lies. This experience will achieve much in time, as it will remain in their subconscious memory until it can serve them again. They certainly will not have to start at the bottom of the ladder again. Like any other soul they will progress because it is impossible to stand still, as even if it is not perceptible, everything is in state of change and is the one constant in the Universe.
In the future you will have much more knowledge and understanding of the Universal Laws, and with full consciousness you will have no problem in adhering to them. It can all be summed up by living from a point of Unconditional Love, and although a great challenge in your present circumstances it will become easier as you ascend. Dear Ones try to live to your highest understanding of what it is to be an ascended being, and you will soon find out how far you have progressed. Bear in mind that All Is One and that should help you overcome most difficulties you are likely to encounter. We say that because many you of you have been brought up to think of people, in little boxes that have labels on them rather than see one complete Human Family. You are not expected to reach perfection now, indeed that would be extremely difficult until you reach a much higher level of consciousness.
For those of you who like to keep abreast of what the different sources are reporting, you might have noticed that there is slowly a convergence of information taking place. That is a sure sign that the time lines are beginning to come together, but you will still find some that are more extreme than others. Those who uphold religious beliefs tend to be on their own, as they feel bound by the apocalyptic prophesies of their ancient teachings. Many are no longer applicable as they were given at a time when they seemed possible, but events since have changed the outcome. This year will sorely test their beliefs, but obviously like anyone else they have a future of their own creation.
I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and give you my Love to help you on your way.
Thank you SaLuSa. Mike Quinsey.
