Re: 2012 Nexus Event Unknown Form of Energy comes our way!
Hey PhiedPiper,
I see your points loud and clear, my friend. They are brilliant as always. Thanks for shearing. I really appreciate.
I believe that the primary lesson for all of us is to understand that all this we are trying to do here is a team work. We are all ONE and we are all brilliant in our own way. What you talking about, is above the duality perception and I agree with you totally. The true nature of all existence is visible only when you are apart from the duality. Only then you start to see the pattern in Creators manifestations.
But in my humble opinion, to reach that point of clarity and observation you first have to transform yourself through Light.
Thanks Buddy! I really appreciate.
Re: 2012 Nexus Event Unknown Form of Energy comes our way!
I was wondering PhiedPiper, are you using James Paul Furia's work?
Re: 2012 Nexus Event Unknown Form of Energy comes our way!
Hi Astralwalker,
I am so glad you brought up that last point. I was hoping you would. Because it helps me lead into the next part of the contribution I am working towards:
I realized after a long time in my frequency research that the missing element I was forgetting was the "indirect" transition through roy-g-biv spectral light and into white light, not directly to white light. I realized this was key (for any of you doing white light meditation, as is a very strongly reinforced and deeply taught technique in the meditation courses I have practiced for about 10 years, if you look carefully when you know you've mastered a white light meditation, you will be sure to notice a vibratory "corona" of roy-g-biv light "between" you and the white light, with violet closest to the white, and red closest to you! it's true! even if it was too faint to notice before, it will become much more noticeable once you are concentrating on it).
So from then on I always wondered, sure, a prism can refract white light into coloured light, but is there a way to do the opposite - turns out there is!
So I realized what I thought was a huge secret - if we are focusing within the correct spectral code through a "reversed" vibratory prism, we will be achieving exactly this!
I realize it is very complicated to explain in detail, and besides most of it is still in my head in the abstract form. But I see it coming together, there is a way to make this "code" practical and not simply proof that the ancients knew what they were doing.
By focusing on colour in the right sense we will walk into the light of singularity. I hope you see what I mean Astralwalker, this light is not "versus" anything. Darkness is a world apart of the place this formula, if correctly designed, can lead.
There is some part of the formula here, if it has not been posted already:
Please look especially at the sections "Sine Waves" and "A Frequency of Light", together around the middle.
It turns out that the way of encoding the speed of light through air by way of the tangent is absolutely crucial in this regard, especially later when the visual and tactile overlays can be designed. I am basically dedicating myself almost completely (as much as possibly can be) to this effort.
I might try to prepare something much earlier than the date so we can start to send files around so people can do individual sessions and give feedback - if I have enough time I will do multiple improvements per month.
Perseide, yes, I am definitely going to be following Furia and Monck's work particularly the 432 standard, there is an essential astronomical aspect to this that has to do with the crucial major 3rd between the Om and Kung frequencies (earth and platonic years), which both of course resolve to right around A=432Hz.
You will notice the mention of Aquarius for the Kung/Platonic Year frequency - this is the catalytical frequency when the rest is right.
I hope other people can feel the excitement I do!!! It's the energy of what's going to be happening all by itself, something we can all soon "walk into", so to speak.
"According to Hinduistic and Tibetan tradition this is the point of cosmic unity with god, center of divine inspiration and supramental intuition. Holding a tuning fork with 172,06 Hz to this point will activate the crown."
I am also using a lot of original work as I have been working on this stuff in a lab for years now, I am preparing my first research paper on the matter at the moment that is a little technical to post but discusses a variety of new models for these types of meditations and basically all types of 21st century novel art/music forms (i'm anticipating a wealth of different kinds of synaesthetic art pretty much).
I don't want to have people be waiting too long so I'll be getting to work in the new year, but I'll keep checking in and be sure to post any major updates.
So I hope you saw what I meant about the light thing Astralwalker I really don't want to be ambiguous! :sweatdrop: Hopefully it's more clear now!
take care everyone
Re: 2012 Nexus Event Unknown Form of Energy comes our way!
I totally agree with you my friend. The same Source that gives direction to your Life Force Creativity is also steering my actions here in this plane of existence and beyond.
Im totally aware that your skills are up to the task and that Divine Plan has put you through the exact life experiences needed to generate the necessary knowledge for all this.
Im happy that you are around and I trust you completely.
Re: 2012 Nexus Event Unknown Form of Energy comes our way!
I feel deeply priviledged to have access to this wonderful knowledge. Thank you both for your generousity in bringing this information to the members of this forum.
Re: 2012 Nexus Event Unknown Form of Energy comes our way!
PhiedPiper, thank you for your post #220. I really resonate with what a lot of what you shared . . . several things in in particular:
And then there is Michael Lightweaver, another good friend who lives near me at his Mountain Light Sanctuary:
PhiedPiper, I would like you to think about creating a music file for our region. Our first group meditation is tonight with the New Year.
I also resonate deeply with this part of your post, as it reflects my own journey:
PhiedPiper, your Singularity Theory is also very helpful:
And I particularly liked this part of your post, PhiedPiper:
Talking about moving into "color" excites me!
Thank you everyone on this thread for the amazing energy that is building here.

Re: 2012 Nexus Event Unknown Form of Energy comes our way!
Dear Friends,
Its been few weeks since I have created this thread:
2012 Nexus Event Unknown Form of Energy comes our way!
I believe that we are moving into something wonderful in 2012 but only if we show ourselves worthy of it.
There is plenty that we still have to do, for such short period of time.
Our Word is changing minute by minute. We are receiving new energy from outside and its changing the fundamental structure of our Solar System. The density between the dimensions is weakening and we are starting to feel the clear connection between them.
My perspective was and still is that everything is alive in the Universe. Every single spark of life or manifestation vibrates, pulsates and communicates with everything else in the Universe.
So we are all connected, and we are starting to feel that connection.
I believe that we are at the end of Long Cycle and most of us are facing Evolution.
The Matrix is rearranging it self, both in the Light and the Dark Side.
I believe that we are facing a choice that we have to take.
I hope it will be the right one.
We have only less then four years till the day that it was depicted in the Crop Formations on which we are seeing clearly the mass expansion of our Sun.
It does not take to be an astrophysicist to determine what kind of implications such event can bring to our planet.
Our scientists had already detected that there is something extraordinary going on in the center of Milky Way.
The ETs are showing us when the cosmic beams that I call Nexus event will be visible from Earth.
There are ones, who consider that my download is simple result of Project Blue Beam or simple micro-chip manipulations of malevolent extraterrestrial groups.
Im aware of all of them, and much more then like to reveal and I can assure you that this is not the case.
I have solid experience with this and I can determine from where the input is coming.
We have powerful security system that is called emotions.
If the download from the Psionic Field is false or has aggressive or has bad intentions your heart immediately senses this.
That is why keeping the pure heart at all cost is so important. We hold the basic substance of Universe and we have everything we need, we just dont realize this.
"They" insist that we pay attention to fractal geometry. From my point of view this download is solid. The data is real and it is alarming of possible 2012-2013 catastrophes if we do not do something about it!
From the bottom of my heart, I believe that planetary meditation is just a start.
It will start as test or experiment, but it will soon transform into something surprisingly powerful.
It will change the reality of this world, our Planet will start to vibrate with light even the people who will walk on the street will feel the difference.
My friend thinks that we can either choose to heal our planet or either to live it forever as a race when the Nexus as depicted in the crop formation will come.
I believe that we can achieve both.
In any case, I have achieved what I come here to achieve. I have delivered the message.
I hope we will have strength to resolve our differences, to unite as ONE and to show our true DIVINE NATURE that is hidden deep inside every each of us.
Thanks to everyone who helped in creation of this thread and who helped this message and perspective to reach as many people as possible.
Happy New Year Everyone!
I Love You ALL
Re: 2012 Nexus Event Unknown Form of Energy comes our way!
I was thinking if we had a short concise paragraph or two that we could send out to other mediations groups with the information we could quickly gather higher numbers of participates as the February date is not that far away. I would be willing to search the net and send out notices to groups. I go to a few local groups but they are small. If we had a notice that could be sent out that would be great. Also as an idea there are all of the alternate internet radio stadios that could be informed of the meditation day as a way to increase the numbers. I ran across this group on the net. I get the HeartMath newsletters, I do not belong to this group at the present but am joining it. This group has almost 9,000 members, the group below is linked with them. I also found it intersesting to note they were getting 100 monitoring devices to measure the electromagnetic response of their meditations, intentions, and prayers. I do not know if they would be willing but it never hurts to ask. If each participate would sent out the general notice and ask for the people they contact to send it out that would help as well. What do you think of that idea?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.glcoherence.org/ from the website....
The Global Coherence Initiative is a science-based initiative uniting millions of people in heart-focused care and intention, to shift global consciousness from instability and discord to balance, cooperation and enduring peace.
This project has been launched by the Institute of HeartMath®, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), a recognized global leader in researching emotional physiology, heart-brain interactions and the physiology of optimal health and performance.
The Global Coherence Initiative is designed to help individuals and groups work together, synchronistically and strategically to increase the impact of their efforts to create positive global change.
Together we will:
* Increase personal coherence for the benefit of ourselves and the planet
* Help shift the planetary consciousness baseline from self-centeredness to wholeness care
* Increase connection and social harmony
* Empower our ability to navigate through global changes with less stress and more ease
* Empower environmental responsibility and stewardship of the planet
This project has been initiated because millions of people sense that this is an extraordinary time; that a paradigm shift of human consciousness is now under way; that we are at the crossroads of change and must move toward the healing of ourselves and our planet. Many people are feeling a strong desire to help change our present and future conditions and are looking for ways to use their heart, spirit-aligned wisdom and care to make a meaningful difference.
The Global Coherence Initiative is one of many care and compassion initiatives taking place on the planet. Each year, an increasing number of groups and online communities are radiating compassion and care to the planet in these times of need. We and others feel that these collective heart-based initiatives, rather than being a trend, represent the proactive consciousness platform of the future, in which individuals and communities take responsibility for shaping a new world by increasing love, care and compassion for the global whole.
Heart Coherence
Many people recognize that their meditations, prayers, affirmations and intentions can and do affect the world. Researchers suggest that these activities can have even more transformative and lasting impact by adding heart coherence to the process. Heart coherence is a distinct mode of synchronized psycho-physical functioning associated with sustained positive emotion. It is a state of energetic alignment and cooperation between heart, mind, body and spirit. In coherence, energy is accumulated, not wasted, leaving you more energy to manifest intention and harmonious outcomes.
Adding heart coherence to meditation, prayer and intention practices is an important aspect of the Global Coherence Initiative. It adds order and increased effectiveness to whatever form of practice you are doing.
The Global Coherence Initiative offers education and technology on how to increase individual heart coherence. As groups of people in the Global Coherence community intentionally send coherent love and care to the world, a more powerful heart-filled environment is created. This helps to build a reservoir of positive energy that benefits the planet. This reservoir can then be utilized to help bring balance and stabilization to people, thereby making it easier to find solutions to problems like climate change, the destruction of the rain forests, poverty, war, hunger and other global issues. In addition, by sending coherent heart energy to the planet, you benefit personally. Practicing coherence has a carryover effect that helps to cushion you through stressors and challenges that occur day to day.
Earth Monitoring
The Global Coherence Initiative will include an important scientific measurement component. Advanced sensing technology, now being developed at the Institute of HeartMath, will allow us to observe changes in the earths magnetic field and test the hypothesis that the earths field is affected by mass human emotion, positive or negative. The Global Coherence Monitoring System (GCMS) will consist of approximately 100 sensors strategically located around the world. This system will enable a new level of scientific inquiry into the relationship between the earths magnetic field, collective human emotions and behaviors, and planetary changes.
The GCMS will allow us to test the hypotheses that:
* Strong collective human emotions are reflected in the earths field.
* Groups of people in heart coherence can affect the earths field.
* Changes in the earths field predict earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and similar planetary scale events, in order to give people advance warning.
Our long-term goal is to correlate the following: coherence-level data collected from the GCI community with changes in the earths magnetic field, along with changes in various social, environmental and health outcomes.
The Global Coherence Initiative is perhaps the greatest experiment in the history of the world.
Jack Canfield, Co-Creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® Series, Co-author of The Success Principles, and founder of the Transformational Leadership Council.
Community Building
This Web site will be the focal point for the GCI community. Here members will receive updates, instruction, audio and video communications, connection with other members in the Global Coherence community and more. We invite you to explore the other sections of the site to learn more about how you can participate, resources for increasing heart coherence, and our sponsors, supporters and Advisory Board.
GCI Brochure Click here to download the Global Coherence Initiative brochure.
What You Can Do Now
You can start now by becoming a member and learning how to increase your heart coherence and tracking your progress. While the monitoring system continues to be developed and the GCI community and activities continue to grow, the world needs your participation. You can play an important part in building this community.
Global Coherence Initiative Summary:
Connectspeople globally who are committed to making a difference by contributing coherent heart energy to planetary needs
Educatesby providing resources for increasing individual and collective coherence
Guidesthrough providing information and suggestions on when and where to focus your energetic contributions
Monitorsby tracking coherence and measuring changes in the earths geomagnetic field and the potential effects of heart-coherent intentions on the field.

Re: 2012 Nexus Event Unknown Form of Energy comes our way!
"According to Edgar Cayce, the famous psychic, the opening to the Halls of Records, which hold the history of the Earth, will be found in the right shoulder of the Sphinx. This has been clearly marked geometrically. Looking at the figure below, if you bisect the golden mean rectangle that fits around the spiral at the Giza plateau, it passes exactly through the headdress of the Sphinx. Also, a line extended from the southern face of the middle pyramid and the line that bisects the golden mean rectangle, forms a cross that marks a very specific spot on the right shoulder of the Sphinx.
Richard Hoagland states that the Arab name for the Sphinx means "The End of the End connected to the Beginning of the Beginning".This is definitely a "Timeline". One of the meanings of the Sphinx is a time cycle from the beginning of Leo to the end of Pisces, the age we are in and the beginning of Aquarius
The Sphinx, the Lion Man in this interpretation represent the Zodiac signs of Leo and Aquarius. When the Sphinx was built some 12,000 years ago, in the Age of Leo, it faced almost due east, where the equinox point was in the Age of Leo. In the New Age, Aquarius, the Sphinx will be facing the zodiac signs in the sky 180 degrees rotated from it's original position and now facing Aquarius."

We are all experiencing a shift in our lives, since this thread had started. Its started to generate intention and energy. I believe we are already creating a new reality.
And we will do a lot more
Re: 2012 Nexus Event Unknown Form of Energy comes our way!
Thanks for the links Paramartasaya.
I had been tracking and analyzing the research of respected David Wilcock and respected Richard C. Hoagland, for some time.
I had seen them all already, ever since they were available on the net, and they all contain a great input.
I can only thank David and Richard for all their time, effort and research that those two had done.

Re: 2012 Nexus Event Unknown Form of Energy comes our way!
Dear Astralwalker and fellow Avalonians, can i say that this thread is the most important product on this subject ever because it brings everything together in one place - the input from everyone on this forum in addition to you Astralwalker has been exceptiional, heres hoping it continues apace this year.
I have noticed recently on this tread a tendency to "complicate" things....can we keep the message simple?
If we want to get the "message" across to as many as possible (and i know you do) and increase the vibrational level across the world, people need a very simple message about what to do in the coming times....can you bear this in mind in your coming postings about the meditation plans? I am getting worried that i might "get it wrong" when the day (or days) to mediatate comes around...please assure us that it will be easy to follow.
I say "keep it simple" from years of experience travelling around the world to well over 100 countries on projects, and success was only ever achieved when the message was simple, failure was always assured if the message got complicated. Sadly, many people are not that smart and intelligent, its not their fault because they have been poisoned by chemicals in food and mind programming on tv, and thus in order for you to carry as many as possible with you we must be clear and simple, we are not all spiritually enlightened like you and Phied Piper, but we all want to provide input as best we can to change the world we live in! I like many am in awe of your spirituality....
I for one have come to this "awakening" late, i never knew of the 2012 nexus until a year ago, even though i have read spiritual writings for years, but i'm here now like many others just arriving. We are all learning and awakening our consciousness (the "awareness of becoming aware" as the late great Ian Lungold once said), so please help us....
Looking forward with great love and excitement to your coming postings....hope you don't mind me outlining my fears and worries....
Re: 2012 Nexus Event Unknown Form of Energy comes our way!
what about a simple summery , for those who cant take so much in ,or dont have the time to trawl thro... it all so as not to exclude enyone .
Great respect to you all but me head fit to bursting .
This is not s negative comment ,I have great admiration for genius .
all love rhythmmm .:wub2:
Re: 2012 Nexus Event Unknown Form of Energy comes our way!
For what I understand and correct me if I am wrong, We are going to receive somehow an audio file corresponding to the region we are living, then in a date and time pre-arranged, we are all going to meditate listening to this sound, so that the vibrational state of this world can rise. It is simplified at it's simplest form but comes from true genius calculations offered by the dedicated Carl P Munck and the musical theory that followed by Paul James Furia stating that Maths, music, and geopositionning are all bonded together and that is why the great sacred sites are where they are EXACTELY.
By meditating in those places listening to those specific sounds, we are somehow connecting to that direct energy wich constitute the grid that nourrish this earth. Once we are connected to this grid we as human (the true cocreators of this reality) are going to change it with our love. And that my friends is the most powerfull way of jumping into the realisation of a positive change for this world.
Of course that is a simplification with the words of a french speaking person ;)
While this is put together by PhiedPiper and AstralWalker, people had concerns about the fact that it may take sometime to prepare and felt they didn't want to stay aside... I think PhiedPiper agreed to release some files as soon as they are developped so that we can do some "practice meditations" starting on february 8.
Ok guys if I didn't read the picture correctly please tell me so. My english is rusted and I need to be sure I am on track.
Thank you AstralWalker again for that great thread and PhiedPiper it's so great to have you with us, I feel now that we are going to make change and we need to bring a lot of people with us on this journey. That I will be working on for a while, trying to get my friends to read this material.
Ok that's about what I had to say for today...
I wish you all a Happy, peacefull New year!
With love and absolute knowledge of this beautifull oneness that is our true nature.
Re: 2012 Nexus Event Unknown Form of Energy comes our way!
I wanted to add a little something.
I know this is a lot of material, but in this thread there is enough material for all to spend many many weeks nourrishing themself with really good information! There are a lot of links that AstralWalker added in his posts, starting by "The Code" by Carl P Munck and many many other... I think that when we feel overwhelmed by what is said we just need to go back and reread a bit. We cannot just be feeded by AstralWalker here, I think he did an incredible job at drawing the big picture. The rest is in our hands. I am sure AstralWalker will continue to give us rich information about this, but let's not put all the pressure on one guy here, sometimes there are things that will be said here that I wont understand and somtimes the same will happen to you, but the most important thing is that we continue as a group to look for answers and feed this thread with love and intentions.
Again, AstralWalker, you did an incredible job, you pushed the right button at the right time, people are very curious and feel enlightened by what you have to say.
The danger of that is... that is addictive ;) So this year my resolution will be to have the same faith in me than the one I put in other's work. I will try to be the feeder for my friends.
Good day to you all.
Re: 2012 Nexus Event Unknown Form of Energy comes our way!
Hey Perseide, french speaking or not, your summary and analysis is brilliant. Thanks! Over to you Astralwalker....
Re: 2012 Nexus Event Unknown Form of Energy comes our way!
Dear Friends,
I totally agree that we have to keep this as simple as possible.
It is hard for me, since there is much that I still do not understand. As I said earlier I do not know all the answers of the Universe, I'm not teacher, not a messiah, not a prophet, not a merit and not a spiritual authority what so ever.
I am what I am, I'm momentary in this body and I have dedicated my existence here to help in the transformation process of this Planet and the Life force present here, as we are approaching at the end of Great Cycle – 2012 Nexus Event.
I'm aware that the process of learning never stops, and everyday I assimilate, I grow more both intellectually and spiritually, and I'm replacing old input that was proven wrong or false presented and I move on…on my path.
As I can see lately, more and more are starting to walk in the same direction.
I think that I had figured out the basics, how they did it in the past…
It will take a time to construct good presentation for it, but I will try do assemble it as soon as possible.
To understand all this that we are doing, we have to back in time, search the ancient temples and the knowledge that is left there.
So to understand about the future we first have to travel back in time...
I hope you will enjoy this ride...
I will put UNDER CONSTRUCTION line so people will be aware that is not finished and that It will be updated.
This is Borobudur Temple in Indonesia>>
Officially, Borobudur is a ninth-century Mahayana Buddhist monument in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. But, it is much older then that. The monument complex comprises six square platforms topped by three circular platforms, and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 statues of Rama citizens. A main dome, located at the center of the top platform, is surrounded by 72 Rama citizens seated inside perforated stupa.
As I was saying earlier, the whole Buddha Tradition we today know of, or the stories that are false presented before us, are all twisted up side down. It's deliberately presented in that way, so we do not see the clear picture.
Because, once we understand our past, we will understand how the dynamics of these physical bodies that we are in now, works and how to free ourselves from the Elite control using the natural Chi energy that flows everywhere.
So there is not one Buddha. There was whole race of Buddhas.
And I can tell you for sure…they certainly were not primitive…they absolutely knew what they were doing, when they created their monumental structures that are in fact devices for generating huge amounts of mana (or pure prana if you like) into one place.
I have studied their monuments and I have discovered that they used sharp spikes (to serve as antennas) to cut the scalar waves from the surrounding space, to direct them down towards the device and distribute them towards all meditators.
Does it start to make sense?
Not yet, but it will start to make sense very soon.
They we all tuning into the Planetary Psionic Field jus as the same people go to Internet Cafe to connect to the Internet.
It's all there, we are just not looking. But before you look, you have to break down all your previous belief systems, religion stuff and false generated input. And once you remove that from your sight, you start to see clearly and only what is.
They constructed some of those monuments with pure psychokinetic energy (but before you start to laugh please let me finish), and they knew perfectly what they are building. They understood the Geometry, the structure, the elements that are needed, the directions and distribution of the Chi flow, the Structure of the Matter.
And they were using sound (that is why there are so many bells that generated the correct sound effect) to penetrate to Earth's energy field. Not to mention the importance of the proportions of their MANA GENERATORS – their Yantras and Mandalas. The perfect geometry of the whole structure. And the most important thing…they used all this to generate or project psionic energy of the consciousness.
They were all tuning into Oneness, and travelled into higher realms of reality through this giant devices.
There is no clear understanding of planetary mediation if we do not understand those ancient dynamics and how they did it. It's all there. We just have to start looking for answer to our questions…is simply there… staring into our face.
Just like in a circuit board…there are rules in which directions the electrical currents will flow, all according to the elements involved in its design.
Its all there, we just have to copy it and study it. They hold all the clues of how psionic energy can be generated, focused and projected.
Under construction…

All of sudden, like the past month, Smart Cars having been popping up in my neighborhood like mushrooms in a cow pasture. It looks like they could overtake Priuses on the roadways of Berkeley. But behold how awesome this is! It perfectly combines the sensibilities my old home town (Fresno, CA) and my new town (Albany/Berkeley, CA). Leave it to a Greek…

Last evening I attended for the first time the sf flickr group meeting. It was really nice to meet everyone and have a chance to shoot at the Palace of Fine Arts as the sun went down. A quick review of the download didn't reveal any particularly great photos. Perhaps with some post-processing, something interesting will come into view.
One of the interesting things that happened was there there was a person their interviewing folks for a magazine story about flickr and the digital revolution in photography. I was so amped up from driving like a maniac to get there on time that I ran my mouth off about this, that, and the other thing. Talking about it did help to clarify some of my thoughts about more about what I think I am doing with photography. [I'll talk more about that in this space later.]
In any case, after walking around the POF for awhile we retired to the Grove Cafe (?) for food, drink, and conversation. A great group of people and all around good time.

This week, we share this Good News: Christ is Risen! Our long wait is over!
Stop and take a deep breath, breathing in the joy of Easter morning; breathe out the fear and doubt of the night that has passed.
God sees you today and loves you as you are.
Who needs to be seen by you today? Look up, so you can share the good news.next >
The community of believers was one in heart and mind. None of them would say, "This is mine!" about any of their possessions, but held everything in common. The apostles continued to bear powerful witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and an abundance of grace was at work among them all. There were no needy persons among them. Those who owned properties or houses would sell them, bring the proceeds from the sales, and place them in the care and under the authority of the apostles. Then it was distributed to anyone who was in need.
Acts 4:32-35next >
It is amazing what can happen in those moments where we are "one in heart and mind." It can happen in a Spirit-led worship service where a congregation feels led to try something new in ministry to their community. It can happen in a youth group who finds the courage to shed those labels that limit us toward becoming a deeper Christian community. Much can happen when we allow an "abundance of grace" in our midst.
As our world continues to shrink and we are more aware of the global Christian community, we also are given opportunities to find "no needy persons among them." When we write letters with Bread for the World (bread.org), we are working to make sure there is no needy person among us. When we come together to say "Enough!" to the gun violence in our schools we are bearing "powerful witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus." The work of the Gospel continues today, and we are called to participate in that work. How will you be a powerful witness today?
David Burroughsnext >
Grace-Giver, I want to be a person of Grace. I want to find community that offers an abundance of grace to each other and all those we encounter. Help me to work toward being one in heart and mind like the early believers I read about in the book of Acts. I pray for your voice to speak through me as I try to be a witness to the resurrection of your Son, in whose name I pray, amen.next >
Find your voice today and speak "Peace" to someone in distress.
Find your grip today and hug someone who needs to know they are loved.
Find your stride today and move toward a hurting world with the healing power of the one who made you, who redeemed you, and who has called you to serve.

A collection of 23 evocative stories by the Czech Republic's most well-regarded writers takes you o...
Ancient castles, graceful bridges and hundreds of church spires characterize the Czech Republic capital, a city that seems right out of a fairytale.
Prague has over 1,100 years of history, which is still very much visible in its architecture and culture. The medieval-looking city is known for the romance of its architecture, with grand castles, elaborate churches and charming bridges.
Prague, or "Praha" in Czech, has been the capital of the Holy Roman Empire and Czechoslovakia. The Praguers freed themselves from a communist regime in 1989 and then split from Slovakia. Prague is now the capital of the Czech Republic, and of Bohemia, and has 1.3 million residents. Many Praguers don't speak English, but most of the tour guides do.
Spend just a few hours in Prague and you'll see almost all the great architectural styles: Renaissance, Gothic, baroque, art nouveau and modernist. Three of those styles can be seen in just one building: Týn Church (Týnský Chrám). The city's most famous modern building is Dancing House (Tančící Dům).
Use the iconic Charles Bridge (Karlův Most) to travel between attractions on both sides of the Vltava River. The Vltava separates the historic Old Town (Staré Město) from the Lesser Town, home to the huge Prague Castle (Pražský Hrad) complex.

My setting, which is called Liel, is the oh so original idea of taking a Sigil like crossroads and making it a whole world, rather than just a city. So pretty much all races and gods are available here. To reduce burden on myself (for some values of reduce), I re-wrote most of the PHB races to get rid of subraces, and broke some of the subrace options into a cultural bonus for being an immigrant (more recently come to this work) or being a colonist/native (originally from the world, or having immigrated so long ago it makes no difference). I also changed some things because the default races are different (humans are common, but not even a little default), and yeah. The important thing here is that the natives/colonists all have an option to take a feat at first level, and I know you're surprised that pretty much all of the PCs are doing that. Go figure!
The main thing this does is make it so that I feel better about starting at first level, rather than going with my 3e inclination and starting everyone at 3rd.
When I last ran this setting for 4e, I had a pantheon of gods that granted a background feat to their worshipers. Feats being tiny and fiddly, this was a lot of good fun to come up with. I wanted to do something similar for 5e, and funnily, it actually fits better. Because there are so many gods available in the world, the most common form of worship is called Giedame, where the worshiper selects six gods of their choice and focuses their piety upon them. Technically, a PC could choose gods not listed below (historically, Dragonlance gods are popular in the world :P), and I'd try to come up with something for that, but I've only actually written things for the gods I made up myself. So... below the cut I have:
- 1 new feat
- a bunch of boons (about 1/3rd of a feat to mix & match)
- 3 new spells (2 1st level spells (one of which is a ritual), 1 cantrip)
And a bunch of gods for spicy flavor. Enjoy!

I tried. I laced up Jess's rainbow shoe laced skates and went into the rink. I let her show me how to put on the wrist guards (I tried to put them on backwards). If you saw me, you would know I wore no makeup and didn't do my hair. Of course I didn't take pictures. I have a pimple….okay so I dabbed some concealer on that but mostly I was primp free.
Today their was no Derby 101 *frown*. That is the actual training course for baby Derby Vixens. Today was an open skate to practice skills on your own.
What skills, I ask you?!
However, today was a lovely day to get my skating legs underneath me. I skated around the rink and felt my calve muscles tighten up. I lost my balance in slow little jerks but I didn't fall. Truth be told, looking at the real Lansing Derby Vixens with knee pads, wrist guards and helmets on, falling is not really a concern. I would like to fall doing something awesome instead of trying to stop myself from going .0001 miles per hour.
I learned how to do a T-Stop. I learned in theory. I am still trying to get the concept in action. So far so good. One of the more experienced new girls gave me some tips and I practiced the T-Stop until my doing it sucked less than when I started. A good place to start while trying to learn a fast paced, contact sport on wheels is how to stop.
I asked questions about the technical skills you have to learn before you can actually join team practices. It's all about safety. Learning how to not hurt yourself or the women around you…or yourself. :)
So this week I will wait for next week's chance to put on my skates. The ones I borrow. The women I met today kept saying that Derby is addicting. I can feel myself getting the itch. I will think some more on my derby name. I think I have one. It clears the database of used names which is awesome. However, I won't share it until I'm sure I can participate. Otherwise it's just a really cool name for no one I know.
Don't forget to come out and support our local Lansing Derby Vixens in their bout with the Floral City Roller Girls at the Lansing Center February 12th. Tickets are available online here. I will probably be helping out in some way. Hope to see you there!!!

13 Sep The Future of Stem Cells
Stem cells and regenerative medicine
These are undifferentiated biological cells which have self-renewal properties and can remodel into any kind of specialized cells including liver, neurons, hearing, skin, lung etc. They have the ability to divide further to produce more stem cells. In children and young adults, stem cells are present in a large amount and act as an inherent repair system. These are injected at the site of inflammation or damaged joints to rebuild normal function. Stem cell research brings a remarkable hope for treatment of minor to an incurable disease.
Stem cell treatment can treat a number of disastrous diseases including:
- Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Crohn's disease
- Diabetes
- Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis arthritis
- Muscular sclerosis
- Liver, kidney and lung disorders
- Stroke and heart conditions
- Muscular dystrophy
- Spinal cord injuries
- Osteoporosis
- Sexual dysfunction
- Prostate disorders
- Allergies
- Rotator cuff tears and sports injuries
- Fibromyalgia and fatigue
- Natural hips and knees joint reconstruction
- Coronary artery disease
- Headaches and migraines
- Chronic hepatitis
- Neurological and retinal disorders
- Cancer
Stem cells are used for these clinical applications like Stem cell transplants, Tissue regeneration and Cellular therapies.
Discovery of new drugs in stem cell and regenerative medicine research
Research on stem cell technology is growing very fast. Most interesting work on stem cells is still waiting to be published. It is not an ordinary treatment that involves the use of an external agent. Animal trials showed the restored sight after retinal damage. Stem cells are own repair kits of our bodies. Many physicians, researchers, and patients believe that stem cell treatments are the future of medicine. Stem cells have the capability to replace drugs in future. Researchers say that stem cells are more flexible and powerful than our imaginations. These cells can duplicate inside patients. Stem cells offer exceptional opportunities to cultivate new medical treatment for incapacitating diseases and a new method to analyze biology's important questions.
Stem cell treatment is a developing field of medicine which has shown auspicious responses through various clinical trials. There are many cases where stem cells save the patients suffering from various medical conditions. Researchers have discovered the clinical potential of stem cells in the treatment of various immunologic, neurodegenerative, genetic and blood-related conditions. Stem cell treatment can be the future of medicine because of healing and the regenerative effects of stem cells which can be personalized depending on the needs of the patient. Stem cell therapy has brought a new approach to regenerative medicine and changed the outlook of the field of medicine. Stem cell treatment has a bright future for the medical conditions which currently don't have successful standard treatments.
Summary of the future of stem cells and regenerative medicine
Future of medicine, future of aging, future of the pharmaceutical industry and the future of health care are extremely smashed by stem cell research. In the future, stem cells will provide very effective and low-cost treatment for many serious diseases and other health problems. Most animal stem cell studies and clinical trials are very encouraging. Stem cell therapy has not been approved yet because there are not enough research and clinical studies to prove its efficiency. Various clinical studies and trials are going on currently across the world. In few years, ongoing clinical trials results will provide the clarity about the effectiveness of stem cells for treating various medical conditions. Then we can call the stem cells the future of medicine with all approval.

Nigel Clough has admitted it was a tough decision to allow Jason Holt to leave Bramall Lane after a successful loan spell during the second-half of the 2014/15 campaign.
The 22-year-old joined the Blades on-loan from Hearts for the remainder of the season in January with the view to a permanent move in the summer and impressed, scoring five times in 17 appearances.
But on reflecting why United didn't take up the option to sign Holt on a full-time basis, Clough remarked: "We'd have loved to have kept Jason, but we thought he was just too similar to Stefan Scougall who we have under contract.
"We brought Jason in because Stefan had a few knocks and niggles and for him to score the amount of goals he did from midfield excellent.
"Jason did brilliantly for us but we just need a different kind of player next season, we need more of a physical presence because when Chris Basham has played there he has done ever so well and shown what a quality player he is."
The Blades boss also hopes to see James Wallace be a big part of his plans next term after an injury plague first season at Bramall Lane.
Clough added: "James was as big a miss as anyone. When we drew-up our list, last summer, no disrespect to anyone else but he was right up there at the top.
"Hopefully with a full pre-season under his belt he will go on to be a regular in our side next season, he will be like a new signing in many respects."

May 9, Monday - We had the usual cottage evening at the Delos Santos home. We were glad Shirley and Junseop joined us.
May 10, Tuesday - After District Meeting, we drove to Linda's place in Port Melbourne. We shared the story of Nephi and his obedience to the Lord (1Ne3:7). The Lord always make a way for us to be able to do the things He asks of us. We then visited a less-active member Aida. She was not on the ward list printed last January but her name appeared on the printout this month. Aida is Filipino; she opened the door but told us to come back next week at same time because she was busy. We then tracted the neighborhood and met Diane from Turkey with Islamic background. She told us to come back Thursday because she had to take her kid to Karate class. We took photos of Port Melbourne.
Traffic was heavy when we left Port Melbourne and got late to Junseop's appointment at Delos Santos home. We shared with him the Law of Chastity and the Word of Wisdom. He studied the lesson in advance, shared what he learned and agreed to follow and live it. When we checked the meal roster, found out that the Juresko signed up for dinner today. We picked up the food prepared for us and then drove to Heidelberg Chapel for my companion's patriarchal blessing with Patriarch Mullis.
May 11, Wednesday - Today was Temple Day. We left our flat at 7:40 and arrived at the temple/mission at 9:00, just in time for the temple session at 9:30. Going to the temple is always a great experience. Later in the day, we had our ward council.
May 12, Thursday - Got our flu shot today. We then drove to Port Melbourne to visit Linda, Diane and Aida. When we called Linda on the phone, she told us to come next time because she was busy. We knew it was her 56th birthday and greeted her on the phone. We proceeded to Diane's place, she invited us in and offered us dinner. We shared the Plan of Salvation with her and she shared her story of life in Melbourne and her 3 kids. She asked us if we could teach her kid Sefika (6) math and English (spelling and reading). We asked her permission to teach Sefika some gospel words too and she agreed. Then we went to Delos Santos home to teach the last discussion about keeping the commandments to Junseop. Mommy Nessa cooked chicken pochero and pinoy beef steak and had our second round of dinner. I never knew that pochero is made from mashed banana..hehe..it was delish!
May 13, Friday - Holly Nguyen worked with us. She joined our lesson with Stephen and Uncle Bob. After that, we drove to the myotherapy appointment of my companion. We ate lunch at a Vietnamese Restaurant and had coconut and soursop smoothie.
We then GQ'ed at Footscray station by talking to people who are waiting for the train or bus. Sis. Aileen Newlassi got off from a bus and pretended to ask us questions so other people around us would be able to hear and become interested. We also pretended to teach her while she asked questions (in loud voice..haha..)
We then went to the chapel for Junseop's baptismal interview. Yeonghee Choi, a Korean member, was there to help Junseop with his English. Junseop was excited for his baptism the next day. Back in the apartment, we updated the area book so as not to miss important information about investigators and their concerns.
May 14, Saturday - We met with the zone leaders who asked us about the area. After the exchange with them, we went to the chapel for Junseop's baptism at 3pm. Junseop was happy.
L-R: Me, Sis Santos, Eugene Delos Santos, Junseop, Nessa, Wilma
After the baptism, we visited a few referrals, then to the Trang for bbq. This was the home of Song Trang who was taught by Elder Rands and Elder Howell and baptized last week by his dad.
With Tim Doust trying to hide from the camera while Holly is photobombing
Junseop was happy of his baptism and the food
L-R: 1st row - Jennifer, Trang kid, Elder Rands, Elder Vo, Junseop, Bro Hai
2nd row - Sis Rawenata, Sis Neist, Me, Holly, Sis Santos, Madlen, Trang kid
last row - Kevin, Trang Dad, Trang Mom, Elder Howell, Elder Marshall, Bro Neist with first baby (3 wks), Kathleen and investigator (while other members had left)

Posted on March 20, 2013 by News Admin
Dr. Lester Grinspoon is easily one of the most prominent, and influential voices within the cannabis reform movement, and he has been for decades. A retired Harvard Psychiatry Professor, Grinspoon is the author of numerous books, including the popular Marihuana Reconsidered and Marihuana The Forbidden Medicine. He's also on the Board of Directors for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, and has appeared in several television shows and movies, including The Union: The Business Behind Getting High. We caught up with Grinspoon recently, and he was kind enough to answer some questions for Toke of the Town.
What is your opinion of the current state of affairs of cannabis law reform?
I wrote an essay a while ago titled "Marijuana's here to stay", and there's no question about it: Prohibition is through, it's ended. What we're seeing now is a culture scrambling to figure out how to accommodate to this new fact. Both the government and the culture. The rest of it as far as I can see is playing out the end game in this.
Like your state [Washington] with Initiative 502: The 5 nanogram DUI test is silly. It's going to have to be revised. It can't be done by any type of blood test. Not to mention who's going to take it; the police are going to take our blood? If you smoke it over the evening you can drive perfectly well the next morning.
The point is I applaud Washington, and I supported it, even though I had a problem with the DUI thing. A major part in moving forward is figuring out what to do about it. Ultimately it's going to have to be some sort of behavioral test. I'm not confident you can measure something in someone's body fluid and figure out if they're impaired or not.
At any rate, I wrote Marihuana Reconsidered in 1971; at the time Carl Sagan and I who were close friends for three decades would read each others manuscripts, and he read Marihuana Reconsidered. He said "Lester this is an excellent book, but you made one big mistake!" I said what's that? He said "you predicted prohibition will be gone in ten years"
I said, how long do you think it'll take? He said, "2-3 years!"
And I've been waiting far beyond that ten years for this to happen. But I see it now, it's virtually happened. We have to get everything lined up right, but that's how I see the situation now. There will be a lot more activity now through the states, both making it medical and making it legal.
I do believe the end of this dastardly prohibition is upon us. We're on the cusp of victory.
In your opinion, what would be the ideal cannabis policy?
I think a good cannabis policy would treat it like alcohol and tax it. This means if your'e going to use it irresponsibly like driving drunk, and you get caught, you get penalized. It means there's an age limit below which people can't get it. I think this is the best possible way to do it, because I'm concerned about youngsters using it too soon: Not because there is convincing data, mostly because the brain doesn't achieve ful development until they're in their early 20s.
I would say it's going to be treated that way [like alcohol], or since it's also a medicine, it could be treated like aspirin. I'm convinced we will not realize the full potential of this substance as a medicine until the prohibition is gone and people can get it as easy as they can for aspirin. No need to talk with a doctor and get a prescription for aspirin despite the fact that between 1,000-2,000 people in the United State die yearly from aspirin. Cannabis is non-lethal.
It has to be somewhere in the aspirin or the liquor model, It seems to me these are the only models that will free it to be used as both a medicine as for recreation.

I knew it would arrive sooner or later - the invitation to participate in the seven links project. I received a gmail from my blogging friend, Vinayak Deshmukh, who is an engineer by profession and an artist by passion. His blog, PENCILS AND BRUSHES, displays his beautiful portraits, landscapes, and still life paintings, done in both watercolor and oil.
Being most curious by nature, I wanted to find out where this project originated. I traced it back to a travel blog, and it started in late June of this year. It seems to have been around for a longer time than that.
I consider my most beautiful post to be the one of Carmella, the yellow labrador. This post received a lot of feedback, but the backlit rose got even more comments.
The most popular post, judging by the number of comments, was the backlit rose. I was a bit surprised, as it was only a small painting done as an experiment. Thankfully, the trial of a new technique went well, and all of you approved.
I was sure I would receive some comments about a post I wrote on New Years Day; it was a bit of a rant about materialism, and the true value of just being YOU. But I must say, the most controversial post was about the process of a painting of an alley in Athens. I was really getting stuck with all aspects of the painting, and when I asked for advice, I received many answers ... ALL of them quite different. Truly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and all artists have their very distinct definitions of beauty and art.
When I consider my most helpful post, I think there are several that fall into that category. Again, I base this on the number of comments, and the comments themselves. I have posted several "painting processes", in which I photograph and describe the painting as it progresses; almost all of these have received comments about how the description is helpful.
The post whose success surprised me was the backlit rose. I was trying to figure out HOW Jacqueline Gnott created those softly circumscribed areas of lightness in her floral paintings. And being too tight-fisted to buy a DVD, I experimented. That was pretty much how I learned watercolor, too - read the books, studied the paintings, and tried out some ideas.
A post I felt didn't receive the attention it deserved was one I did on the painting process of a carousel horse. I thought it was cool - bright, colorful, different. I think it was one of my early posts, and that is how it was ignored ... at least, that's my theory!
As for the post of which I am most proud of, I must admit they are all equal in that regard. I have enjoyed presenting all of them, the painting posts and the "farmish" posts, and I am very happy that you have enjoyed reading them!
I thought I would include my favorite paintings ...

Assuming Bald Tires will last a bit Longer
It's always tempting to try to squeeze a few more miles out of your rubber, but it's certainly not wise. You need to give your car what it needs to maintain proper contact with the road. Think of all you ask your car to do for you, every single day. Now imagine picking up the kids from school in a snowstorm wearing flip-flops, or taking the dog for a run while wearing stilettos. It's all wrong. Your feet need better equipment to get the job done. So does your car.
If you don't know how old your car's tires are (you bought your car secondhand, or you're not a meticulous receipt- or record-keeper) chances are you're probably due for a new set. Even if the tread looks decent, rubber deteriorates over time. The damage might not be easy to see, but miniscule cracks cause loss of structural rigidity, which means the tire can't perform as designed. If the rubber disintegrates where the tread joins the tire, the tread can separate (yup, just like a semi-truck). Not really worth taking the chance, is it?

Water damage is one of the biggest problems a homeowner can face because the flow of flood water can cause the damage to spread very quickly. Porous materials around a home such as wood and sheetrock can absorb water and damage caused by rain leaks may not be noticeable until it has already spread. In addition, these affected areas will also increase the risk of mold growth as moisture and porous building materials are the only requirements for the fungus to prosper.
RestorationMaster provides water damage restoration services to Collinsville, IL and the surrounding areas in Madison, Monroe, Jersey and St. Clair Counties. Be sure to contact us immediately 24 hours a day to stop the spread of the damage.
Restoration from Damaged Surfaces
The professional staff of RestorationMaster is highly trained to handle water damage mitigation. We begin by determining the extent of the damage with water detection probes and sensors and develop a remediation plan based on the damage. The remediation plan will accommodate the visible effects of the water damage as well as the hidden damage that could lead to mold growth or rusted pipes.
We will then extract any standing water, if present, followed by setting up advanced drying equipment to eliminate all moisture from the structure. If needed, we can also remove the carpeting for advanced drying, or replace it if necessary.

While most of their rivals are busy shucking buttons off their bodies, it's reassuring that LG's not only sticking with physical flicks, but also getting a little creative with their placement, too. Cue the G2 smartphone, where the only buttons on the phone sit on the back below the camera lens, helping cater to both north and southpaws.
It's a big 'un, at 5.2-inches for its full HD screen, which is primed to show off photos snapped using the 13MP camera. A camera you can use all day and night, thanks to the 3,000mAh battery, which doesn't bulk the phone's body out too much, given it's just 8.9mm thick.

Altice France, a subsidiary of Luxembourg-based investment fund Altice Group, has finalised the acquisition of a 2.6% stake in Numericable from Pechel Funds and Five Arrows Funds. According to a press release, Altice France, which is the majority shareholder in Numericable, bought 2.643 million shares from Pechel and 604,207 from Five Arrows at a price of EUR31.41 (USD42.85) per share, for a total cash consideration of EUR121.5 million. Altice exercised the call options granted by Pechel and Five Arrows on 7 November 2013, while the purchase was funded by increased indebtedness at Altice France.
As a result of the acquisition, Altice France now directly owns 40% of the shares in Numericable Group; further, the shareholders' agreement between Altice France, Pechel and Five Arrows, in place since the initial public offering (IPO) of Numericable Group in November 2013, has now been terminated.


text: Share Facebook Twitter Google + LinkedIn Pinterest Ask some of my friends and they will tell you that I am a person that can misplace things from time to time — alright, all of my friends will tell you that. Knowing the location of my smartphone can be one such challenge.In my mind, smartphones are both a blessing and a curse. The good? Nearly the entire span of human knowledge and wisdom is available to us at the flick of a thumb on a device that fits in our pocket. The bad? The fact that the entire span of human knowledge and wisdom is on a device small enough to fit in our pocket — and then go undetected when flung unknowingly into a field.I used to work on my extended family's large dairy farm where I had carried on the tradition that my two older brothers, whom had worked before me, began. Now this dairy, like most farms of its type, gains most of its herd growth from heifers born on the operation. It takes roughly two years for a newborn calf to become ready for the milk cycle, and during the summers of their development, many of them are put out to pasture. One of my jobs at the farm was to buddy up with my cousin on the weekends — let's call him J — to feed grain to pasture heifers in order to better manage their diets.To this day, it was one of my favorite jobs. A lot of the world's problems were solved in the cab of that truck driving from pasture to pasture in the early hours each day. One morning, however, the world's problems had to wait.There we were, headed back to the last pasture of the day. J was driving and I was on gate duty (at any moment ready to leap out of the truck and open the gates keeping the truck out and the heifers in). He nonchalantly asked if I had gotten a message from my uncle, the boss man. I quickly swiped my hand into the right front pocket of my iodine-stained jeans.No phone."Odd," I thought, as sweat started to bead on my forehead. "Better try the other pockets."I quickly rummaged the left front and back pockets of my jeans before realizing my device was nowhere in the denim. With wide eyes and adrenaline pumping, I immediately lunged out of my seat and turned around. My cousin, startled at the sudden movement, swerved across the road, sending my head into the glass window, making a "konk" sound in the process — similar to two coconuts being smashed together.The mild concussion-inducing head bounce only delayed the realization for a few seconds — my phone was not in this vehicle."Well did you leave it at the farm?" my cousin offered."No! I had it after we left because I looked at the time as we were on the road!" I frantically recalled. There, somewhere in the five pastures we had visited since that time, the phone was likely laying. Helpless, cold, alone — my smartphone was maybe feeling the tickle of a cow's rough tongue, or even the indelicate harassment by a heifer's hooves. The latter was unthinkable. I couldn't stand to imagine the prized object in such an abysmal situation.Ok yes, the phone was just a mangling of metal, glass, and electricity that could be easily replaced, but no such thoughts crossed my mind in that moment. We had to find it.My cousin, through a bond we had grown in our long pasture mornings together, immediately absorbed my panic and alarm. The gas pedal hit the floor, tires squealed, and the local church bells seemed to echo in alarm as we were off to find the phone.We started by heading to our prior stop — a barn with a pasture that ran back to a creek to an adjoining field on the other side of the road. To our dismay, another member of the farm was just arriving in front of us, dumping a load of gravel near the bunk in which we had stopped to deliver feed. Surely my phone was crushed by the tons of vehicle and rock above it if it had been there.Pasture after pasture heard our panicked calls, but still nothing.Then, an idea — the smartphone I lost was an iPhone! It had been equipped with the "Find My iPhone" feature when I originally bought it and could still be found if it had not yet met its demise at the hands of heifers or herdsmen. The location app was available with any other smartphone. My cousin, however, was still clinging to a flip phone at the time, and like many farmers, was holding out on getting a smartphone for some secret, unknown reason which only they seem to know. Our means of accessing the location feature wasn't possible. Good news broke as we realized his tech-savvy wife did have a smartphone. A quick call was placed urgently explaining the situation and what she had to do.My cousin soon received a picture from his wife to his phone. It was a screenshot of a satellite view map that had a blue dot that had the words "Joel's iPhone" emboldened above it. We went straight to work deciphering the landmarks and geography from the aerial view picture, an interpreting job that even the U.S. Army would envy.We cleverly deduced it was back in the pasture where we had first looked, the same place the gravel was being unloaded. We proceeded that way with doubts about the accuracy of such GPS technology as the blue dot showed us it was in a part of the field we had not been.Our arrival back to the field was greeted with the harsh realization that the little blue dot on the map coincided very closely with the placement of two large piles of gravel. When I say very well I mean in the exact same dang place. My cousin immediately started calling it from the truck parked afar in order to keep from unwittingly crunching the device. I started scanning the ground near the feed bunks where we were, hoping the accuracy of the little blue dot was off by several feet (possibly, we thought, due to several shiny grain bins and tin roofs nearby bouncing the signal around — NASA scientists we are not).The minutes passed and the search path kept getting wider and wider. My cousin kept calling the phone, interrupting the deadly silence that we had maintained with a loud shriek from time to time exclaiming, "THE PHONE MUST STILL BE GOOD BECAUSE IT KEEPS RINGING." Thanks for the hope, J.After a notable amount of time went by, we decided to reevaluate the situation. Should we abort, give up, and head back to the farm to continue with the morning's chores? Or try once more? Another look at the tiny map on the itty bitty flip phone screen and we decided to go closer to those foreboding gravel piles that would mean sure death for a smartphone.J went back to calling and I intrepidly headed out to the middle of the field, a location where we hadn't been all morning. Why would the phone be there?My ears twitched at the slightest sound as we maintained strict silence in the search for the ringtone (albeit the occasional assurance scream of "IT'S STILL RINGING" by J — thanks again for the hope, cousin).And then…something — was it a trick my ears were playing on me? Was it a cow mooing in a far off pasture? Was it a fly passing by? Was it a groundhog moving underground? No, this was the distinct sound of on and off vibration made by a phone. I ran towards the origin of the audio about 15 feet away. There I saw a black object glint in the sunlight and I hurriedly dove ahead for it, screaming in the process. My phone had been found!I hoisted it into the air with a victory yell. J was rocking the truck in celebration of the find. I ran towards the vehicle with urgency, jumping and waving my phone in excitement while doing so.(Only later would we find out that the farmer in the pasture delivering gravel had witnessed the entire thing. Looking back, the moment of discovery was relatable to the scene from Rudy in which the entire stadium cheers in the end. Though in this case, instead of the Notre Dame football team and its players overcoming the barriers of life, two guys were out hopping up and down in some pasture.)The culprit for the phone's missing? We figured the clumsy placement of it halfway in my pocket. The reason for the phone being in the middle of the field? Well, a telltale sign after its discovery helped us with that — a healthy dose of cow cud covering the phone from top to bottom. It seems one of our bovine friends had decided it was time their herd had access to the entire span of human knowledge and wisdom, but it looks like they grew tired of that and went back to the excitement of eating grass.Maybe they're onto something? Good moooove cows, good move.

Further evidence that 3D printing is coming of age in the construction and design sector can be found in an announcement made in Dubai this week of plans to assemble the world's first fully functional 3D printed building.
The building will be located close to and is the first major initiative of the "Museum of the Future," launched earlier this year in Dubai, and will act as temporary headquarters for its staff. It will be approximately 2,000 square feet in size and will be printed layer-by-layer using a 20-foot tall 3D printer, then assembled on site in a matter of weeks. All interior furniture, detailing, and structural components will also be built using 3D printing technology. The space will be open and flexible, allowing for a range of uses and the building is expected to host a mix of public and private events. It will also feature a small digital fabrication facility and a 3D printing exhibition space.
Experts have estimated that 3D printing technology can reduce construction times by 50 to 70 percent, reduce labor costs by 50 to 80 percent and can save between 30 and 60 percent of construction waste.
Mohammed Al Gergawi, UAE Minister of Cabinet Affairs and Chairman of UAE's National Innovation Committee said that Dubai aims to become "a global hub for innovation and 3D printing. This is the first step of many more to come. This building will be a testimony to the efficiency and creativity of 3D printing technology, which we believe will play a major role in reshaping construction and design."
The project is part of a larger partnership between Dubai and WinSun Global - a joint venture between Chinese 3D printing technology firm WinSun and international investors - along with the global architecture and engineering firms Gensler, Thornton Thomasetti, and Syska Hennessy.

Earth Vs. Flying Saucers With Cloudbusters
Kenn Thomas
29 October 2011
Critics skeptical of the Roswell flying saucer crash story often claim that interest in the event dropped off immediately after its initial media flash in 1947, only to be revived in the 1980s by unreliable UFO researchers seeking to profiteer from a myth of their own making. I have often contradicted this assertion by pointing out that the scientist Wilhelm Reich paid a visit to Roswell in 1955 and made clear references to aliens in relation to the town in his final book, Contact With Space. It is an unusual book primarily documenting Reich and his assistants using beam cannons to clash with flying saucers--in real life, not on the silver screen.
Researchers have slowly been accumulating Roswell references in movies and other pop culture forms to support the idea that the incident had more of a cultural impact on pre-1980s pop culture than previously has been presupposed. The little Roswell grey aliens appear in a mid-1960s episode of the anime cartoon Prince Planet, for instance. Recently, a 1951 wristwatch ad from the Hamilton Corporation was discovered that referred to the weather balloon explanation for flying saucers, an explanation offered only for Roswell in 1947 until adopted by the Robertson UFO investigation panel of 1952. Another obvious example often escapes notice; however, that again ties the tale back to Wilhelm Reich. It involves the famous 1956 Ray Harryhausen movie Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers.
In that movie, aliens attack the earth in flying saucers and in a few instances the aliens hobble out onto the surface. The creatures look a bit like roll-on deodorant cans with stiff arms and legs. The costumes were used briefly in one other movie, 1961's The Creation of Humanoids, most recently broadcast following an episode of cable TV's The Walking Dead series. In Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers, the costumes' rounded helmets with no features conceal the aliens' real form until one is killed and his roll-cap removed. The alien looks like a Roswell grey.
Wilhelm Reich had Ruidoso, New Mexico as his destination in 1955 for an overnight stay on his way to Tuscon, Arizona. Passing through Roswell—and Stanton Friedman often makes the point at lectures that few just "pass through" Roswell's out of the way location—Reich clearly was looking for signs of aliens. In Contact With Space, he writes: "Although it was very hot as we neared Roswell, New Mexico, no OR flow [OR was Reich's abbreviation for orgone, or natural earth energy] was visible on the road, which should have been shimmering with 'heatwaves'. Instead, DOR [Reich's abbreviation for "deadly orgone radiation", which he believed came from the exhaust of UFOs]."
Reich's concern about the environmental impact of UFOs stemmed from experiences he had in his lab in Rangeley, Maine called Orgonon. In 1951 he first discovered the DOR business by putting a milligram of radium into one of his orgone boxes, an invention of his designed to harness the natural earth energy. It resulted in highly polluted air around the lab, causing fauna to wilt and animals to become ill. Strange red UFOs appeared in the sky over Rangeley. In response to all this, Reich came up with another invention, the "cloudbuster," a cannon mounted on the back of a truck that concentrated and redirected orgone, which was aimed and fired at the UFOs, causing them to disappear. In the following years, he brought these devices with him to Tucson, Arizona, passing through Roswell, and did battle with UFOs there.
That happened in real life. It's an obscure story to many now but apparently a paradigm for the major Hollywood science fiction of the time. Reich's cloudbuster battles with UFOs are virtually reproduced in Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers. Instead of orgone, earth's scientists develop a sonar canon, but they are mounted onto trucks and directed at the space ships in the same way Reich did it. And the movie was released just shortly after the end of Reich's desert UFO adventure, so it can't be said that Reich took his ideas from a fanciful movie. In fact, it seems quite the reverse.
The controversies about Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers in the UFO community relate to Donald Keyhoe's request that his name be removed from the credits following his discovery that it would be a "fictional" movie (see here for details). But was it fictional? The movie may have had little relation to Keyhoe's book at the time, but did it have another uncredited real life analog?
Kenn Thomas' essay, "Wilhelm Reich, Eisenhower and the Aliens" appears in Secret and Suppressed II: Banned Ideas and Hidden History into the 21st Century, Edited by Adam Parfrey and Kenn Thomas, available at feralhouse.com. Mr. Thomas' current book, JFK & UFO, is also available from Feral House. Thomas' web site is steamshovelpress.com.
