You have the power to speak up and let your officials know what issues matter to the wind industry, and what actions they can take to expand clean, affordable, homegrown wind energy in America.
Several media outlets are reporting that President Obama will mention wind power and manufacturing jobs in his State of the Union address this evening, including reports that Bryan Ritterby of American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) member company Energetx Composites of Holland, MI will be First Lady Michelle Obama's guest for the speech.
WASHINGTON— Several media outlets are reporting that President Obama will mention wind power and manufacturing jobs in his State of the Union address this evening, including reports that Bryan Ritterby of American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) member company Energetx Composites of Holland, MI will be First Lady Michelle Obama's guest for the speech (AWEA's Michigan Fact Sheet). This would mark the fifth time wind power has been mentioned in the SOTU in the last decade, by President George W. Bush in 2006 and 2007 and previously by President Obama in 2009 and 2011.
Denise Bode, CEO of the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), issued the following statement today as background for reporters covering the speech.
"Wind energy is one of the few sources of agreement in a divided Washington. But with an expiration of wind's key federal incentive, the Production Tax Credit (PTC), looming at the end of the year, these good manufacturing jobs are in peril.
Wind energy has installed more than a third of all new electric generation in this country in recent years and is powering one of America's fastest growing manufacturing sectors. Over the last six years, U.S. domestic production of wind turbine components has grown 12-fold, to more than 400 facilities in 43 states. And with stable tax policy wind power is poised to grow to almost 100,000 jobs in just four years and stay on track toward supporting 500,000 jobs by 2030 according to forecasts by the George W. Bush administration.
Wind power is on schedule to generate 20 percent of America's electricity by 2030 and already generates 20 percent of the electricity in Iowa and South Dakota. And this success story is spreading all across the U.S.
However, with uncertainty over the PTC, layoffs have already begun and studies have forecast they will increase with each month we near expiration.
Fortunately, a growing bipartisan coalition understands this urgency. Political and business leaders including more than a dozen Republican cosponsors and groups like the National Association of Manufacturers, Edison Electric Institute and American Farm Bureau Federation realize that wind power is not a Republican or Democratic issue, it is a manufacturing jobs issue. Extending the PTC will keep these good American manufacturing jobs here and keep providing a new source of clean, affordable energy to American consumers."
Bipartisan support for the PTC:
Bipartisan legislation recently introduced by Representatives Dave Reichert (R, WA-08) and Earl Blumenauer (D, OR-03) seeks to grant a four-year extension to the existing Production Tax Credit (PTC) for wind energy (H.R. 3307, the "American Renewable Energy Production Tax Credit Extension Act"). This legislation has garnered the support of 56 cosponsors including 13 Republicans.
This legislation recently received the endorsement of a broad, coalition of more than 370 members, including the National Association of Manufacturers, the American Farm Bureau Federation, the Edison Electric Institute, the Western Governors' Association, the United Steelworkers and many members of the environmental community. A four-year PTC extension also has the support of the bipartisan Governors' Wind Energy Coalition comprised of 23 Republican and Democratic Governors from across the U.S.
Wind energy also enjoys strong support throughout the windy heartland including in Indiana where the Republican legislature recently passed and Governor Mitch Daniels (R) recently signed legislation setting goals for renewable energy generation.
What others are saying about wind energy:
Kansas Governor Sam Brownback (R):"The wind industry has utilized a production tax credit, which has helped the industry see steady growth this decade. I support the continued use of those tools as a way to spur investment in our communities and create sorely needed jobs."
Read more: http://www.kansas.com/2011/09/11/2011116/gov-sam-brownback-wind-offers.html
Iowa Governor Terry Branstad (R):"We cannot overlook the impact of the wind industry on economic development and jobs in Iowa," Branstad also on the record supporting congressional approval of a long-term extension of the wind energy production tax credit to give businesses looking to invest some stability and predictability.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R): "The wind power movement is providing us with a unique opportunity to advance energy as industry," Christie said. "By doing so, we have the ability to leverage our tremendous resources with ground-breaking technologies, allowing New Jersey to increase its use of renewable energy sources while advancing an industry that will lead to long term job creation."

Bipartisan Governors' Wind Energy Coalition: "Although tax credits for wind energy have long enjoyed bipartisan support, they are scheduled to expire next year. Wind-related manufacturing will slow if the credits are not extended, and some of the tax credit's benefit will be lost if Congress pursues a last minute extention. It is important to have consistency in policy to support the continued development of wind manufacturing in the United States."
Read more: http://www.awea.org/MediaCenter/pressrelease.aspx?ItemNumber=4663
Senator John Thune (R-SD): In a recent Senate hearing Senator John Thune (R-S.D.) highlighted the broad, bipartisan support for tax credits and the importance of the PTC, noting specifically a 300 MW project in South Dakota slated to get off the ground—with the help of the PTC—in 2013. Also noted the PTC's history of bipartisan support and wind's enormous potential in South Dakota, but cautioned that the current tax credit uncertainty "impacts not only wind developers, but suppliers as well." Senator Thune added, "American businesses need greater certainty."
Congressman Steve King (R-IA): "I represent the number one renewable energy congressional district in all of America… There are other things China is challenging us on, but when it comes to clean, renewable energy, I'd say the fifth district of Iowa stands up against any country or any other congressional district."
Bipartisan letter signed by 15 Senators including Tom Harkin (D-IA) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA): "With our very extensive wind resources, we know that in the future this industry can contribute vastly more to meet our electricity needs. However, for this to occur, Congress has a responsibility to provide certainty in federal policies so that this industry can continue to expand and meet demand. An immediate extension of the PTC is the best way to provide this certainty."
Media endorsements: Wind power jobs were also the focus of a recent Denver Post editorial endorsing a PTC extension, "sooner rather than later." (http://www.denverpost.com/opinion/ci_19761267) The paper's editorial board called for speedy action by Congress on extending the PTC for wind power, noting that "thousands of jobs could be lost in Colorado and other states" if lawmakers don't act soon. In particular, the paper stated, "We hope that Sen. Mark Udall and Reps. Diana DeGette and Cory Gardner will use their positions on their respective chambers' energy committees to advocate for an extension sooner rather than later."
The New York Times editorial board also recently called on Congress to "make sure to extend [the PTC] again. It, too, has been an important source of jobs." (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/07/opinion/one-bad-energy-subsidy-expires.html?_r=1)
Newton, Iowa's positive wind manufacturing jobs success story was also recently featured on FoxNews.com in an OpEd piece penned by Steve Lockard of TPI Composites (http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/12/28/will-congress-let-us-keep-creating-american-jobs/)
About the Production Tax Credit:
The PTC is a tax incentive that helps keep electricity rates low and encourages development of proven clean energy projects. Private investment generated over the last four years of relative PTC stability averages $17 billion a year.
The wind energy PTC will expire in 2012 unless Congress takes action. Failure to extend the PTC would lead to job losses and will put the brakes on the progress America has made to include clean, affordable, homegrown energy as part of the U.S. electricity portfolio.
Facing the threat of the PTC expiring, wind project developers have become hesitant to plan future U.S. projects and American manufacturers have seen a marked decrease in orders. The wind industry is facing the recurrence of the boom-bust cycle it saw in previous years when the PTC was allowed to expire. In the years following expiration, installations dropped by between 73 and 93 percent, resulting in major job losses.
A recent report by Navigant Consulting finds that if Congress allows the PTC for wind to expire, jobs in the wind industry will be cut in half, meaning a loss of 37,000 American jobs and a one third cut to American wind manufacturing jobs, while private investment in the industry would drop by nearly two thirds. And Navigant found that these job losses will begin now and accelerate with each month the PTC nears the expiration deadline. Meanwhile, extending the PTC will allow the wind industry to grow to almost 100,000 American jobs in just four years and stay on track toward supporting 500,000 American jobs by 2030.

* A-TE-79 Dual Rear Wheel Attachment Kit
Posted on September 10th, 2016 by ploughmyfield. Filed under General.
The list of Ferguson accessories is growing. I can now add to the list a set of dual wheel spacers number A-TE-79 and more importantly original extension nuts that hold the first wheel on and provide the spacing to attach the second set of wheels to.
This now brings the list of Ferguson accessories to 14 (A-TE-59, A-TE-61, A-TE-66, A-TE-68, A-TE-70, A-TE-79, A-TE-87, A-TE-90, A-TE-92, A-TE-F93, A-TE-109A, A-TE-118, A-TE-,128 and A-TE-130).
I fear some on the list will be unobtainable by me, I refer to a set of Tyre Tracks number A-TE-113. The Tyre Tracks along with the Hours Meter A-TE-A93 and the Epicyclic reduction gearbox A-TE-118 are to my knowledge the only 3 accessories with their own dedicated manual. This may be due to there complexity in fitting to the tractor and the need for a greater explanation.

I love Sam's Club Seafood Salad. Does anyone have a clone recipe that would be close to this?
Thanks alot,

I have never had Sam's Club seafood salad, but I do make one. I use imitation crab flakes, salad shrimp, celery, Miracle Whip, macaroni shells and spices. (11/29/2006)

I don't know if this site has it but try http://www.topsecretrecipes.com
They have clone recipes and I think sometimes you can request them to do it for you. Have fun! :) (11/29/2006)
By PeggyGV
I've never been to Sam's either, but I make one of those salads whenever imitation crab is on sale for a dollar. Just mix the broken up crab with some sour cream, celery, cooked pasta, hardboiled eggs and maybe salt and pepper to taste. Proportions are up to what you have on hand and what you like. It's way cheaper than buying the $3.00 a pound stuff and every bit as good. If you're watching your weight, use light sour cream. (12/02/2006)

The path to marriage equality in Maine took a lot of work and rests on the shoulders of active citizens, clergy and politicians.
In 2009, it took no little political courage for the Maine Legislature to pass the marriage equality bill and for Gov. Baldacci to sign it. Those steps involved public hearings that were truly extraordinary.
At that time, no state had passed marriage equality without having a judge act first.
And at that time, public opinion was not what it is now, with national polls showing majority support for gay and lesbian people to marry.
Don't Ask – Don't Tell was still in effect.
The president of the United States, Barack Obama, had not endorsed marriage equality.
And in 2009, although the People's Veto to overturn the law prevailed, the many, many people who worked on the campaign in support of marriage equality gained valuable skills. That campaign and other campaigns around the country learned a lot about how to connect with voters. Knowledge accumulated and fed into an unusual strategy.
The 2012 Maine marriage equality campaign involved an effort that relied on person-to-person contacts and took place over a long time. Authentic interactions took place, very human ones, with listening and hearing and real talk.
And these depended on an excellent campaign organization, involving committed staff and volunteers reaching out to voters on their doorsteps and in their living rooms.
Change happened. But it didn't just happen.
And here's a photo from this morning at Bangor City Hall. Before they exchanged wedding vows, James Beckett and Ken Tidd, both in flannel shirts, had a Bangor High School student sing "Over the Rainbow." They have been together for 21 years.

Happy Mother's Day! Wishing love and happiness to all the mamas out there. My heart is full of gratitude as I celebrate my fourth Mother's Day this year, and was awoken to the sweet scent of pancakes, a card bearing by my children's names in my daughter's penmanship, and a bouquet of flowers. I love my children fiercely, and though they sure wear me out by bed time, I couldn't imagine life any other way.
Also sending a heartfelt prayer to all of those women dreaming and wishing to be mothers, who may not have gotten the opportunity yet for a number of reasons. Today, I am thinking of you today, and praying for you.
In the event that you have a little extra time to peruse links on your special day, here's a roundup of a few that intrigued me this week.
+ watched The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks on HBO this week. I read the book years ago, but this gave some perspective to the character of Deborah Lacks (Henrietta's youngest daughter). Oprah is powerful and captivating as Deborah, you truly forget that she's Oprah!
+ this sweet, reaffirming post on aging
+ salivating over these antipasto skewers, summer picnics are in sight!
+ eager to read this new parenting book
+ loving this post on finding the balance between being motherhood and everything else
+ interesting read, "our mothers as we never saw them"

New 31 DC - Day 29 Inspired by a Blogger
Today's theme is "Inspired by A Blogger"...that is a daunting challenge! There are so many amazing nail blogs out there that finding one was a very difficult task! I finally settled on this one by Polish Art Addiction. Leslie is an AMAZING artist, the things that girl can do with nails is crazy! If you don't follow her blog, you should! I recreated this look using Zoya Rekah for the red, Purity for the white which I then taped off with various pieces of striping tape and painted over with black. The lips are from Bundle Monster BM02. I actually used Orly Grave Mistake to stamp with because it gives a good result, but as you can see still does not cover the black. I don't wear a lot of red polish but for some reason, I really like the way this turned out!

iPhone App Video Mirroring in Three Easy Steps
I got an email that said:
Hi I am a complete newbie to Xcode and programing in Cocoa and I was wondering if I cout get some help or a brief tutorial on implementing the UIApplication+TVOut.m in a small project and I am trying to build please any and all help would greatly be appreciated
Sure, it's pretty simple:
- Add the file "UIApplication+TVOut.m" (download link) to your XCode project. (i.e. Drag the file from the desktop into the project window's list of files; check the "copy files" option if you want.)
- In your project's file list, right click on the "Frameworks" group item, and pick "Add existing framework". Pick the "MediaPlayer.framework" framework.
- In your project's file list, there should be an app delegate file. It'll be named whatever you called the project, i.e. "MyTestProjectAppDelegate.m". In that file, find the method called "applicationDidFinishLaunching:" and add "[application startTVOut];" to it, like this:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
[application startTVOut];
That's all there is to it.
That will generate a warning upon build, since we didn't define "startTVOut" in a header anywhere, but it's safe to ignore it. (If you're the kind of person who always turns on "treat warnings as errors," then there's one more step — also add (and #import) the header file, UIApplication+TVOut.h.)

Coffee Creamer Security
I decided there had to be a way to make a lockable bag to put the creamer in. It had to have a flat bottom so the bottle could stand up in the fridge. So I knitted two identical squares, stacked them on top of each other, rotated so that the grains of the two pieces ran at 90 degree angles to each other, then sandwiched a piece of felt in between them, and finally whip-stitched around the edges, going through all three layers. Sadly, I forgot to take pictures of this in progress, but it made a stable, non-stretchy, flat bottom for the bag. Then I picked up the whip-stitches along each side and knitted four sides for the bag.
The bottom pieces are in garter stitch. The front and back sides are in this eyelet pattern, because I wanted to try something new. The other two sides are in plain stockinette to make it go faster. The back is longer than the other sides so that it folds over the top. Finally, I blocked it...
...sewed up the sides to make a bag...
...and added two brass rings to which a padlock can be attached.
Now there's just one problem, which is that it doesn't actually work. A thief can simply do this:
But I still think my friend will get a kick out of it, and it does reinforce the message that she really doesn't want people taking her creamer. There is a way I can easily cinch up the sides to make it really secure, but that would require three separate locks, which does seem a bit excessive for coffee creamer. I really doubt my friend wants to unlock three locks just to get a cup of coffee. But if the problem continues and she wants me to do it, I will; it would be easy enough.
What it really needs is a zipper all around the opening, with the zipper being locked like a suitcase. However, the idea of me successfully installing a zipper is laughable, so this is what I've got.
The yarn is a cotton-acrylic blend that can just be tossed in the wash if creamer gets spilled on it. And now I have a whole packet of little brass rings to attach tatting to!
UPDATE: Problem solved, thanks to the very first comment I received! "Chain," says Caseymini. "Why, I've got chain in my stash!" says I. Well, duh, when you want to secure something, you chain it up, right? So a few more brass rings and a short length of chain later...
...and I give you the Fort Knox of coffee creamer.
I simply sewed brass rings to each top corner of the bag, and the front corners of the flap, and ran a length of chain through them. At one end, the chain is attached to the brass ring by a split ring jewelry finding. I put another split ring at the other end of the chain but left that end free to be pulled in and out; the padlock goes through this split ring and the brass ring a the back corner of the bag. The key was to keep the chain very short so the mouth of the bag get pulled up smaller than the bottle.
Thank you, Caseymini!

Miranda, how about a draw string opening, that when pulled tight, can be secured with the padlock? Perhaps a chain? Then the padlock could go through two of the lengths? It is maddening when people don't respect other's property, even if it is only creamer!ReplyDelete
You are a fabulous co- worker! This is a terrific idea and I think a lot if people would not wish to be seen taking the creamer from that holder if others might see them.ReplyDelete
Fox : )
That is so funny and my husband works nights too and has the same problem not with creamer but with special mustards and cheese that he buys and they know it's not theirsReplyDelete
What a thoughtful friend you are!ReplyDelete
Wow! Great solution. I think yours was better than what I envisioned. Fast work! Love the idea you had in the first place. Now, as long as someone doesn't pick the lock......ReplyDelete
I am in awe! Possibly the most unusual knitted item ever! What a story and what a devoted and clever friend you are! Plus the chain idea with the rings! This should generate a lively discussion around the breakroom! I'm sure it will be noticed! The padlock is the crowning touch! I just hope the whole bagReplyDelete
doesn't disappear! I love that you practiced a fancy stitch on two of the sides! Always up for a challenge!
Well, we never could've guessed that what you were making was a security bag for coffee creamer! Good job. I hope it works.ReplyDelete
Well that's one secure bag, lovely idea and I hope the day crew won't get into it, it's a bit much that she can't keep her creamer from one night to another, I think I would just take enough for the night and then take it home again in the morning.ReplyDelete
well this my sound bad but a rubbermaid container marked breast milk just might stop them in their tracks!ReplyDelete
Wow! That is quite the creamer vault! Very impressive ÜReplyDelete
Years ago I lived in the basement of a boys dorm house and one of the boys had a similar problem with his milk disappearing ... He put blue food coloring in it and suddenly no one else wanted to put it on their cereal! So funny, but it worked!
Hopefully that solves the problem!! :)ReplyDelete
It was great just to read everyone else's comments too!! :)

I had so much fun with Lauren and Alex at their engagement session. Not only did I get to know them better, but I also got a sneak peek at the ceremony location for later this year.
Alex is a country boy, they are getting married on his property. They currently live in Daniel Boones grandsons house! Talk about a history lesson, I totally went home and googled Daniel Boone to give myself a refresher course, because Lord knows that information went in one ear and out the other in high school.
They met in the cutest way. Alex was managing a bar when he spotted Lauren across the street at different bar. She intrigued him. He wanted to talk to her so badly that he shut down his whole bar to walk over an introduce himself. Isn't that romantic? It turned out in his favor, he may have lost alot in bar sales that night but he met the love of his life.

Hello everyone,
We are a bed company selling both online and offline. We are currently using Magento platform for e-commerce site and Salesforce to manage & follow up with customers. We plan to move from Salesforce to SugarCRM and also intend to build an in-house integration system. It's like the connector between SugarCRM and Magento to transfer data back and forth. Some mapping fields we can think of:
- Purchase date
and about 3-4 fields more we are discussing. Can you show me what APIs can I use to create the integration for this? I have checked your link but found no clue. We really want to develop the integration which is similar to the integration of salesforce magento we are currently using now.
It would be great that anyone answer for me as soons as possible as we are about to change from Salesforce to SugarCRM.
Thanks all!

Chapter One of Wayne Dyer: Wishes Fulfilled book: Changing Your concept of Yourself
There's a level of awareness available to you that you are probably unfamiliar with. It extends upward and transcends the ordinary level of consciousness that you're most accustomed to. At this higher plane of existence, which you and every human being who has ever lived can access at will, the fulfillment of wishes is not only probable—it is guaranteed. This chapter is simply a preparation for entering into that realm wherein you have much more say over what comes into your life than you might have envisioned.
After 18 months in relative seclusion, studying, meditating, and literally experiencing what it is like to live in this miraculous plane of existence beyond anything that might be labeled ordinary or normal, I've undertaken this joyous task of writing about having wishes fulfilled. I've seen firsthand how virtually every wish or desire I've placed my attention on has transformed from a mental thought into an objective fact. I'm not proposing memorizing an esoteric formula leading to a theoretical nirvana. My emphasis throughout this book is that manifestation is real and that it occurs when you make a specific decision to change your mind about who you are and what is possible for you to achieve in this parenthesis in eternity called your life.
I'm inviting you to be receptive to a radical new idea about yourself. It's radical because ever since you left your mother's womb you've been subjected to cultural conditioning designed to help you be content with living a normal life at the level of ordinary consciousness, which generally means accepting whatever life hands you. In many ways, you've been programmed to believe that you do not possess the wisdom or ability to manifest the fulfillment of your wishes and desires. I am saying as clearly as I know how to say it in these opening pages; There's a plane of awareness that you can opt to live at, wherein you can, if you are willing to change your concept of yourself as an ordinary being, find yourself fulfilling any and all wishes that you have for yourself. Throughout this book I'll explore with you what I've studied, learned, internalized, practiced, and yes, lived regarding the powers of manifestation. It begins with changing your concept of yourself.
So let's take a look at this idea and then examine what you need to do in order to make your self-concept congruent with how you want to live your life, and the powerful role you can begin to assume as a co-fulfiller of all of your rational/sensible wishes and desires.
What Is Your Self-Concept?
Simply put, your concept of yourself is everything that you believe to be true. And everything that you believe to be true about yourself has landed you precisely where you live and breathe every day of your life. Your beliefs about yourself are like the ingredients in a recipe that you use to create your self-concept. Those ingredients or beliefs fall into two specific categories: your outer self-concept and your inner self-concept.
Your Outer Self-Concept
These ingredients include everything you accept as truth concerning what the physical you is capable of. There's probably a certain amount of intellectual acumen that you agree is necessary to your outer self-concept. Smart perhaps—but not really a genius—more capable in some areas than others perhaps, such as technological knowledge. Perhaps you add a measure of writing ability, but detect more fluency with numbers and mathematical problem-solving than your ability to write prose. Your beliefs about your outer self may be well seasoned and strong in some areas and almost hopelessly incapacitated or weak in others. You very likely have a conceptual framework of just how smart you are and have carried that belief with you since you were a youngster in elementary school.
Your outer concept of yourself includes everything you believe about your innate and learned talents and abilities. Your beliefs about your clumsiness, coordination, athletic, musical, and artistic talents are a partial list of the ingredients that comprise the recipe of you. These descriptors also apply to everything else about your outer self. Your outer self-concept includes how you view yourself in relationship to health, your immunity to, or inclination toward, illnesses of all descriptions. You know if you are prone to being overweight, addicted to various substances such as sugar, caffeine, fat, meat, dairy, and the like. You define yourself as prone to catching colds or immune to such things; likely to gain weight, inclined toward skin rashes, or predisposed to low energy or high sleep requirements.
The point is that your outer self-concept comprises essentially everything that you believe your body is capable or incapable of. Given a true/false test on yourself you'd be able to say with certainty, Yes, these things are true about me. They are the beliefs—the ingredients—that you use to create you.
In addition to your intellect, talents, and physical body traits, you spice up your outer self-conception with your personality traits. You know if you are assertive or shy, loud or quiet, pushy or obsequious, fearful or courageous, daring or frightened, which is only a partial list of personality descriptors or spices. These individual qualities are interpreted as truisms defining yourself and how you function socially.
I could continue detailing all of the other ingredients that go into making your outer self-concept, but I've chosen to keep this book short, succinct, and to the point. At this point I'm simply encouraging you to recognize that your self-concept contains a myriad of self-descriptors regarding this thing that you call your physical body, and that you probably regard them as absolute truth.
Your Inner Self-Concept
This category can be pretty difficult to achieve in optimal proportions in our culture. Your inner self-concept involves your beliefs about the invisible energy and intelligence that is the most significant portion of your being. I've often referred to your inner world as the ghost in the machine. The machine in my conceptualization is your body and its five senses, as well as all of the physical components that make up your body. The tissue, bones, rivers of fluids, organs, teeth, brain, and everything else are all the machine. And within this machine is an invisible I that you call mind or spirit comprised of thoughts that direct the machine.
I once had a conversation with a neurosurgeon who was disputing the presence of this invisible world by saying that he'd cut into thousands of bodies and had never seen a soul. I remember his awkward look when I asked him if he had ever seen a thought while he was poking around inside a brain. Obviously there's an invisible inner as well as an outer part of our being. You have a conceptualization of yourself that involves this formless invisible portion of your being.
You have a pretty specific idea about just how far this inner portion of yourself can take you. You may believe that your thinking apparatus is pretty phenomenal, though not understanding exactly what it is—inside or surrounding you—that allows you to scratch your forehead, or pick up a pencil, or move your feet on a dance floor, or any of the infinite commands that your mind is capable of directing all day, every day, and for as long as you are alive. You also have a self-concept about what your inner energetic ghost cannot do. Is it capable of thinking itself out of a serious disease, or is that just a lot of nonsense? Can your invisible intelligence, your imagination, perform feats of alchemy? Does your self-concept contain power to perform great—or even magical—acts of transformation?
Your self-concept is a blend of your beliefs regarding your connection to a higher power. You believe something about the existence or nonexistence of God. You have various points of view about how far faith can carry you. Whether or not there is anything within you that you can or cannot rely on to perform mystical or miraculous things is seasoned by your beliefs. You have acquired specific beliefs concerning the power of your mind. You're generally confident that you can rely on your invisibleness to do the ordinary things in life such as remember an unseen list of items stored somewhere in your memory, and items to pick up on you way home from work. But what do your beliefs cook up about your ability to create miracles? Is healing your body, or manifesting a long-desired soul mate an ingredient in your self-concept?
Take a moment to examine that unseen list stored away in your mind. Ask yourself, Where is it? How did I put it there? Where is the place I'm calling 'there'? What powers am I using to recall it? Where do these powers come from? This is the list of ingredients that you use to create your inner self-concept. You might then want to open to there being other beliefs or ingredients that you want to include, and contemplate other ways to season your life.
The fact is that an invisible list involves a catalog of inexplicable miracles that you take for granted every day. Your inner self-concept tells you what you believe your mind is capable of, and what it's incapable of as well. You know your mind, that invisible ghost in the machine, is unfathomable. But you also know that there are certain limits to what it can and cannot do. Have you ever considered how you are creating your life with this inner self-concept's list of ingredients? If it seems interesting to consider some changes, read on.
Changing Your Concept of Yourself
If you would like to become a person, who has the capacity to have all of your wishes fulfilled it will be necessary for you to move to that higher plane of existence where you are a co-creator of your life. This means that you will need to undertake what is often presumed to be the difficult task of changing your concept of yourself. Recall that your concept of yourself is everything that you believe to be true about your inner and outer self. Those beliefs have created the life you're now living—at what I call an ordinary level of awareness. To move into the extraordinary space that I'm writing about in this book requires you to change what you believe is true. This can be a laborious project and an undertaking that, in my experience, few people are eager or willing to take on. I am writing this book to give you some very specific guidance and help in doing just that.
I'll be quoting a man by the name of Neville Goddard who's been a great mentor to me in the past few years. He wrote and spoke to large audiences in America under the solitary pen name Neville. A popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late '30s until his death in 1972, Neville authored ten books. He captured the sheer logic of creative mind principles and his work has impacted me in a very profound way.
Neville writes in a style that many might find strenuous to interpret, yet I find his teaching congruent with much of my earlier writing on manifestation and co-creation. That being said, Neville's teachings add a dimension that I hadn't really contemplated in depth until now. While studying The Power of Awareness I began blending many of Neville's teachings with other great thinkers' ideas, revising and refining his unique personal theology into a practice that feels to me is meant for the world we inhabit today.
After giving each of my eight children a copy of Neville's The Power of Awareness, they individually expressed a variation of: I love his ideas dad, but I have to read each paragraph over and over and stop to think about what he's saying. I know he's right and it makes perfect sense but I need it explained more—in words that I can understand and apply. Their comments fueled my desire to share many of Neville's ideas, most of which are compatible with my own, and create a synthesis addressing the power you have to fulfill your twenty-first century wishes. I want to share with you my sense of what this great teacher's ideas can do for you, as they have done for me. I know that Neville wouldn't mind because he freely allowed students and audience members to tape his talks without charge. His tapes continue to informally spread his message today, and I've listened to them while preparing to write this book. I feel as a kindred spirit to Neville since I too have had the same policy during my entire speaking career, and have been immersed in the same kinds of spiritual inquiry as this great teacher who preceded me by a single generation.
Here is what Neville had to say regarding changing your self-concept in order to elevate your life. "If you refuse to assume the responsibility of the incarnation of a new and higher concept of yourself, then you reject the means, the only means, whereby your redemption—that is, the attainment of your ideal—can be effected." (PoW, p. 12) Get this clearly in your head in this first chapter: A higher concept of yourself involves taking on new truths and shedding your old views of what you can achieve. This is the only way you can achieve your desires. That is the reason I'm stressing this early in this book. You must begin by replacing your old set of truths with a belief in the existence of a higher self within you. This is something that you may not have contemplated at an earlier time in your life.
Your concept of yourself that includes any limitations can be revised by you, and only by you. Nothing I say or write will do that for you. I have done it for myself and I can assist you along this path, but it is your decision to change that creates the possibility of change within you. A new and higher concept of yourself may be shocking and perhaps even rejected by you, depending on the amount of conditioning you have absorbed throughout your life. That is for you to ponder and contemplate in the next two chapters. At this point simply allow yourself to imagine that you can create a new and higher concept of yourself. Resistance is what will almost immediately appear for most people, and I encourage you to recognize the resistance within yourself.
Overcoming Resistance
Making the transition from the level of ordinary consciousness to the level of super consciousness involves a fundamental renewal—a dramatic change of personality. Very few are prepared to commit to this fulfillment of their divine purpose. What I'm inviting you to do, if you wish to be truly fulfilled, is to overcome your resistance to including all that you are in your earthly life. You have the ability to enter higher regions so as to consciously fulfill your highest desires here, now—for the greater benefit of all. This is akin to doing a somersault and landing in a new reality, a reality in which all things are possible, a reality where you no longer identify yourself with all of those cultural memes and mind viruses that were programmed into you as a young person, preparing you for an ordinary life.
You begin this exciting adventure of changing your concept of yourself—by being willing to die to your present self. That's right, by relinquishing your personal history as the arbiter of your life, you cease to resist your fuller potential. You simply no longer choose to identify yourself on the basis of what you've been taught. Remind yourself that everything you've believed to be true has brought you to this point where you want to explore rather than resist your higher powers.
Years ago while reading Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, I recall him saying that there's one distinguishing characteristic of those who live life at a higher level with a richness that's not just about monetary gain. It is that these unique and rare individuals have a burning desire to succeed. Now a burning desire is much different than a regular wish or desire, it burns inside—once ignited, it never goes out regardless of what transpires. This is a quality that I know well. Often it feels like an obsession—and I have been labeled obsessive many times in my lifetime. Yet it hasn't been a curse because it has always served me in the fulfillment of whatever yearning I felt inside of me. I often think of it as an inner candle flame that never even flickers, though the worst goes before me. All transformation begins with an intense burning desire to be transformed.
An inner knowing along with a burning desire are prerequisites for becoming a person capable of manifesting their heart's desires. In The Power of Awareness Neville emphatically explains that, "To be transformed, the whole basis of your thoughts must change. But your thoughts cannot change unless you have new ideas, for you think from your ideas." (p. 9-10) How do you find the way to ideas that will help you change your thoughts? Start by saying and writing an affirmation that appeals to you. Create your unique heartfelt affirmation such as, I have a burning desire, an inner flame that will not be extinguished by outer forces, to know and live from higher regions, to be transformed so that my new concept of myself will no longer include any limitations. I am willing to challenge and change any thoughts that impede my having a higher vision of myself.
Before closing this introductory chapter, it will be helpful to explore your beliefs about the nature of those things we call thoughts, and how to change them.
Do You Really Think?
No one has ever been able to say from whence a thought comes, or what that thought is made up of. It's generally accepted that we think up things and we make up all of our own thoughts. To be perfectly honest, for a large portion of my life, I held these same views on thoughts originating with each individual. At this juncture I tend to see the entire process as more of an act of observation, contemplation, and choice. I enjoy noticing that I have a continuous stream of thoughts that come from—who knows where? They have no boundaries or forms to examine, and apparently are unlimited in number and permutation! I think of the stock market ticker tape that runs along the bottom of a screen, with each stock price representing a simple thought.
You are capable of thinking many opposing thoughts in just a few moments—jumping helter-skelter from one idea to another—exhilaration, frustration, fear, ecstasy, worry, and so forth. Unguided and unguarded you serve up an endless array of thoughts continuously from waking to falling asleep. Even while sound asleep your mind continues observing, grabbing, and contemplating, these omnipresent thoughts. There's very little respite from this mental thought-producing process throughout your entire lifetime. If you really believe that you are the creator of all of your thoughts, and control the entire process, then simply stop. That's right, just try to stop thinking. You may be able to slow the stream of thoughts down considerably but to simply stop thinking all day and stay in a thoughtless state is quite impossible.
I am suggesting you open your thought processes to a new idea that will help you as you begin changing your concept of yourself. You can think of yourself as a divine limitless being rather than a person who doesn't have choice when it comes to your thoughts. Think of yourself as an observer, contemplating and selecting thoughts that you choose from that never ending stream of thoughts on your inner screen 24/7—365. Watch thoughts stream by from wherever they originate and observe them rapidly transitioning and combining and appearing and disappearing. Snatch a thought from the running ribbon of thoughts and contemplate it. As you toss it around notice how you feel—sad, depressed, happy, frightened, and so on. Every thought going by has an imprint on your concept of yourself. First be the observer, and then the contemplator. Now become the choice maker who can consciously decide to put that thought back into the running stream and pick a different one, a thought that perhaps allows you to feel better.
I am okay, I look fine, I will lose a few pounds, I am loved, I am divine, these and millions more like them are thoughts that you can opt for rather than the ones you've become accustomed to choosing in the past. This is how you begin a new process to change your concept of yourself. You accept as irrevocable that it is not you setting the stream of thoughts into motion, and that stopping thinking isn't possible at this stage of your evolution. At this stage the essence of your being is to observe, contemplate, and then choose. This can all be done in a fraction of a nanosecond. The thoughts will keep appearing on your mental TV screen just like the stock quotations. But you are choosing the ones you want to focus on, gather, retain, or let go.
I'm encouraging you to initiate a habit of choosing thoughts and ideas that support feeling good, powerful, and that elevate you to a higher level of consciousness where your self-concept welcomes your higher self. I love U.S. Andersen's description of this process and leave you to contemplate it as you prepare to befriend that indwelling self that is desperately wishing to be fulfilled at the extraordinary rather than the ordinary level where you have lived for far too long.
". . . we are now about to develop the habit of choosing only those thoughts and ideas that will constructively add good unto it. We are teaching ourselves to accept only good. . . . We are deliberately compelling ourselves to accept all love, all kindness, all hope, all joy, all expansion, all abundance, all health, all vigor. We are deliberately compelling ourselves to reject all suffering, all sorrow, all depression, all morbidity, all inferiority, all aches, and pain, We are saying nothing is true but the great and the good and the beautiful, only these will we add unto ourselves." (Three Magic Words, p.175)
This is your new way of choosing thoughts that will introduce you to what I am calling your highest self.
Three Suggestions
— Redefine your self-concept by challenging everything that you've held to be true about yourself up until now. Be open to examining everything you've previously thought limited you in any way. Affirm: I place no limits and no restrictions on all that I intend to accomplish and become from here on in.
— Allow yourself to become aware of the nonphysical reality that you are a part of. Reach out to the angels or occupants of this higher invisible plane. Know that you can access guidance from those who've lived here before. Spend time in meditation accessing the feelings of a plane of higher consciousness.
— When you are experiencing discomfort or sadness, rather than trying to change the thought behind your emotional state, instead just put it back onto the never ending conveyor belt of thoughts, then select a different thought. Keep doing this until you've selected a thought that allows you to feel good and you are no longer condemning yourself for creating unhappy thoughts.

Doctor 13 – Architecture & Mortality
Doctor 13 is an old DC character from the 60's that doesn't make a lot of sense in a world full of superhumans, magicians, and god-like entities: He's a skeptic. Now, I consider myself to be an amateur skeptic of sorts; in that the only way I would believe in people with super-powers, is if one of them flew down to my house and crapped on my new carpet. So you can see why I would identify with him. But how can you be a skeptic in a world full of magic? When the evidence of the existence of the paranormal slaps you in the face every single day? That's what Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang try to answer here. This is honestly one of the weirdest things DC has published in recent memory, and I love it.
Brian Azzarello is usually known for his hardboiled crime fiction, but he turns in a fun, completely absurdist piece here that isn't like anything he's ever done. Cliff Chiang is one of the very few modern day pencillers whose work is strong enough to get me to buy a book just for the art, and he outdoes himself here. I will definitely say that this isn't for everybody (a good friend of mine looked at a few pages of this book and said that it was the most ridiculous piece of comic book art he's ever seen. And he likes Frank Miller), but if the idea of talking Nazi Gorillas teaming up with gay vampires and 30th Century plague carriers to convince Geoff Johns and Grant Morrison not to write them out of continuity sounds like your bag, give this a shot. It's pure, absurdist comic book fun. Also should mention that this has one of the best last pages to a comic story that I can remember.
Flash And Green Lantern – Brave And Bold.
Whew! Finally some characters you've heard of. These two are familiar to pretty much everybody, and for good reason. They're 2 of DC's 'Big 5″ characters, although you wouldn't know it by the way DC treats them sometimes. This is a flashback story, delving into the early friendship between Barry (the original Silver Age Flash, then was killed by the Anti-Monitor. Then Wally West who used to be Kid-Flash became Flash, and at first everyone hated him but then Mark Waid wrote him and people started to like him, but then for some reason they made Impulse the new Flash. He's actually Barry Allen's grandson from the far future, but then he died, and now for some reason Barry Allen is back even though Wally West is a more interesting character but for some reason DC seems to think that the best way to deal with poor sales is just by rebooting everything back to 1975) Allen and Hal (was the original Silver Age Green Lantern, but then went evil and killed a lot of people and then he died, but then came back to life, and then died again. And then he became God's Spirit Of Vengeance, which is an ok gig if you're retired I guess, but then he came back to life yet again, and now he's back to being Green Lantern again) Jordan. Yes.
This was nicely written. Mark Waid goes back into the Silver Age era he knows so well, but adds nuance and breadth to these characters that never really existed before now. In fact, a lot of what Waid did here set the groundwork for the inevitable resurrections of each character, and some of the characterization here can be found in both the current Flash & Green Lantern titles. Tom Peyer's pencils work well with the story, and it's overall a good read, though not essential. Please also note that despite my sizable DC collection, this is the ONLY trade I own with the Flash's name in the title. I've never been a big fan of the character, though I will most likely give the rumoured omnibus of Geoff Johns run on the book a try when it comes out next year.
Gotham Central – 5 Trades (Half A Life, In The Line Of Duty, Dead Robin, Unresolved Targets, Quick and the Dead)
The commercial reaction to Gotham Central when it was on the stands sums up everything that I think is wrong with modern comic book fans: It's extremely well-written, with complex characters and exciting action-packed scenarios. When it was being produced, it was regularly one of the most critically acclaimed series on the stands, and I can say without exaggeration that this is one of my favourite DC titles of the past decade. And nobody read it.
It's an idea so simple you can't believe it hasn't been done before: What would it like to be a police officer in a world full of superheroes? I should also mention that it HAS been done before, notably with Brian Bendis and Mike Oeming's brilliant Powers series. But this was the first time it had been done with heroes we know. What would it be like to work 6 months on a case and then have a 14-year-old in tight shorts come in and beat all of your suspects up in one night? Or to have a sociopath in a bat costume have more credibility with the citizens you've sworn to protect than you do?
That's what Gotham Central is about. It's the story of Gotham City's Major Crime Unit: A group of detectives hand-picked by Commissioner Gordon to take on the city's worst problems. It was originally co-written by two of my favourite contemporary writers: Greg Rucka and Ed Brubaker. There were different artists, though Michael Lark was the initial and primary penciller on the book.
I consider this book to be a gateway drug. If you only read superhero comics, but want to get an accessible look at what else is out there, try this book. If you've never read superhero comics, but want to see what it's all about without having your intelligence insulted, try this book. It's like Law And Order, if L&O had occasional cameos by Batman, but was also not boring.. I'll also say that I would consider Half A Life (the second major arc of the comic) to be one of the finest story arcs to ever be found in a DC comic book.
Next up: Some characters YOU ACTUALLY HAVE HEARD OF!!!! GREEN ARROW! GREEN LANTERN! HAWKMAN! Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Oh, and the culling starts in earnest….

Japanese internee during World War II recounts young life inside Minidoka camp
Japanese internee during World War II recounts young life inside Minidoka camp
MINIDOKA • Yosh Nakagawa was 11 when he thought he was going on his first vacation.
"I thought, 'How great, we are going on a trip,'" Nakagawa, 80, said from his home in Washington. "I was a child and you never want to break a child's dream. I learned as I grew that I was wrong."
Nakagawa's family lived in Seattle when the U.S. government sent a letter saying they had two weeks to vacate their home. The boy was one of more than 9,000 people of Japanese ancestry, many of whom were American citizens, removed from their homes and sent to the Minidoka War Relocation Center outside of Hunt.
"They evicted us. We were homeless, we had no place to go," Nakagawa said.
Following the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which forced more than 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast to leave their homes, jobs and lives behind and move to one of 10 relocation centers in the U.S.
"I was a terrorist at 11 or 12 years old," Nakagawa said. "That shouldn't happen to anyone. America is greater than that."
Nakagawa remembers when he realized they weren't on vacation. There were barbed wire fences everywhere, and he was told that if he wandered into an area he was not supposed to go he would be shot.
"A child learns fear very quickly," he said. "If your skin color was white I was afraid."
'Free from Our Captivity'
While growing up inside the walls of the camp, Nakagawa worked as a paper boy making a few pennies a day. He attended middle school inside the camp and was baptized in the original First Baptist Church of Twin Falls in 1945. The Nakagawa family had attended the Japanese Baptist Church in Seattle, which was closed.
First Baptist Church of Twin Falls was one of few churches in the area that allowed people from the internment camp to worship, Nakagawa said; "It was one of the churches where we could be free from our captivity."
Nakagawa's little sister was 8 when they arrived at the camp, but she was too young to remember much. "We grew up in two different worlds," he said.
In 1944, Roosevelt rescinded Executive Order 9066. The last internment camp was closed in 1945.
The Nakagawa family returned to Seattle forever changed. Nakagawa's mother, once owner of a corner grocery store, worked inside the homes of wealthy families cooking and cleaning. The family lived in a church sanctuary until they got on their feet again. The Nakagawas also stopped speaking Japanese so their children would grow up speaking English.
In 1952, Nakagawa's parents became citizens, and they voted in every election.
"You don't know the joy my parents had to go and vote," Nakagawa said.
'The Magic Valley Invites Us'
Today Nakagawa lives in Mercer Island just outside Seattle. For much of his life he was involved in the sports world and helped run a sporting equipment store in the Seattle area. He said he met several sports stars through his work, including Billie Jean King and Jackie Robinson.
He has one son and two daughters. One of his daughters, a teacher, often has her father talk to her fourth-grade class about his life inside the internment camp.
"Isn't that ironic? That was the grade I was in when I was interned," he said.
On June 23, Nakagawa returned again to the home of his youth, along with others who make the pilgrimage each year to the site of their imprisonment.
Nakagawa has made this trek before, he said, and never returns with an ounce of hate.
"My returning is simply this: We did not want to go there, the Magic Valley invites us and we want to go," Nakagawa said. "It took a tragedy to show the awesomeness of America."
Nakagawa also makes a point to visit the First Baptist Church of Twin Falls when he is in the area. He was a guest speaker June 24.
"I'm there to tell a simple story — I was there," Nakagawa said.
The church's pastor, the Rev. Jeff Cooper, met Nakagawa last year while attending a Baptist conference in Puerto Rico. Though Nakagawa spoke informally at the church years ago, Cooper was so impressed with Nakagawa's story that he personally invited him.
"It's such a tremendous story," Cooper said. "He holds no ill will or regret. He is coming to represent the 120,000 nikkei who were interned … he's a great man, very humble."
Nakagawa shares the story of his childhood because he said it is a tale that does not belong to him.
"It's not a Japanese-American story. It's an American story of history."

2012 Minidoka Pilgrimage
The Minidoka Pilgrimage Planning Committee would like to thank all of the participants in this year's pilgrimage and the 2012 Pilgrimage was the 10th annual pilgrimage to Minidoka. We express our deepest gratitude and appreciation to all those who participated.
For pictures from this year's pilgrimage, please check back here for updates as they get posted online.
Former WWII Internment Camp Residents Make Pilgrimage to Their Past
Former WWII Internment Camp Residents Make Pilgrimage to Their Past
EDEN • Monica Chin looked across the high desert land that used to be Minidoka Relocation Center and shook her head.
"Did I go through all this?" she wondered aloud.
Seventy years ago, Chin lived inside the barbed wire compound about 15 miles northeast of Twin Falls. She was a bewildered 14-year-old girl who was incarcerated with thousands of other Japanese Americans during World War II.
Chin and dozens of others with personal memories of the internment camp visited the site Saturday during the annual pilgrimage. She said it wasn't a bad feeling to be back, although it took years to make peace in her mind.
"For a long time I didn't want to talk about it," Chin said. "There was all that time wasted and all the (financial) loss."
The New Castle, Wash., resident expressed happiness that her children from Seattle and California could be on hand Saturday to learn about their family's past.
The Minidoka camp, one of 10 such facilities in the U.S., housed from 9,500 to 9,800 people at any given time, according to Anna Tamura of the National Park Service, who led a group through the grounds that now comprise the Minidoka Internment National Monument.
The camp operated from 1942 until November 1945.
Dennis Creed's wife, Brenda, was born there in 1944.
"It wasn't fair, but it is nice they're bringing this to light so it never happens again," he said.
Although a couple of barracks and a building that served as a fire station remain, most of the camp has long been dismantled.
"I feel lost because there are no landmarks," said Tokuko Murdoch of Arlington, Texas, another former camp resident.
She was a child during the war, and recalled playing with friends. Murdoch didn't consider the camp a tremendous hardship at the time, she said, although not every aspect was pleasant.
"The only thing I didn't like was having to eat when they told you to," she said, adding that nighttime trips to a bathroom in a laundry building weren't fun, especially when snow covered the ground.
"Some people deny it ever happened," Murdoch said.
John Okazaki of Los Angeles was in camp as a 14- and 15-year-old boy. He went to high school during the morning and worked as a laborer in the afternoon and on weekends, earning $8 a month.
Like some others who lived in the camp as children, he said he was too young to realize what was being taken from him.
"Everybody looked alike and you ran around with your friends," he said.

Celebrating our 10th Annual Minidoka Pilgrimage and recognizing the 70th Anniversary signing of Executive Order 9066
Seattle, WA – April 1, 2012 –Seventy years ago, almost 13,000 people of Japanese-ancestry, many of whom were American citizens, were removed from their homes and sent to a desolate "incarceration camp" near Twin Falls, Idaho. This summer, the 10th pilgrimage will take place with former internees, their families, and friends – from Seattle, Portland and across the nation – to the former Minidoka Camp in Idaho. This is an opportunity to learn, share memories, and ask questions about the Minidoka experience. Consider participating as a way to bring your family together and reconnect with friends. Participation is limited.
The 2012 Pilgrimage will include:

· Reconstructed fence is complete. It runs about one mile in length from the stone entrance buildings along the North Side Canal to the historic swimming hole. The trail is parallel to the fence, so that visitors can see the fence and walk along it.

· Guided tour of the Minidoka Internment National Monument by National Park Service staff.
· BBQ dinner hosted by the city of Eden.

Happy Easter everyone and welcome to the holiday edition of our weekly Travel Photography Competition. This week we'll show you four lovely photos which were the most popular on our Facebook page between 25th February and 4th March.
Every week we get lots of lovely shots sent by our contributing photographers from all around the world. This week the four winning shots come from Vietnam, Portugal, East Timor and the UK.
Let's start our competition with this lovely black and white photo showing the Japanese Covered Bridge in Hoi An, Vietnam. This beautiful bridge, built in the 1590s, is a great example of Japanese architecture from that period and one of the symbols of Hoi An. It was built with a roof, so that it could be used as a shelter from the scorching sun or heavy tropical rain. Inside the bridge you can find the temple of Tran Vo Bac De, the god of weather.
Hoi An is a town located in the South Central Coast region of Vietnam. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its well-preserved architecture which showcases a typical South-east Asian trading port dating back to the 15th century. Also in our opinion Hoi An is one of the most beautiful places in Vietnam.
This lovely picture was sent by Catherine Gillis.
The second winner this week is another black and white picture, this time taken in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. Gaia is located to the south of the city of Porto, on the other side of the Douro River. Gaia, along with Porto, is famous for its "caves" where the world famous Port wine is stored and matured.
This stunning shot was sent by Manuel Meneses from Porto, one of our most active contributors. If you like his work, you shouldn't miss his Facebook page ManuelMeneses | Fotografia.
And the last two winning shots this week, with an equal number of votes were taken in the UK and East Timor.
This beautiful sunset photo was taken on Praia da Areia Branca, East-Timor. Areia Branca is a beach located in Dili, the capital and the largest port-city of East Timor. It is exactly what is says on the tin, a "white sand beach", luring both local and foreign visitors. The city of Dili was established around 1520 and made the capital of Portuguese Timor in 1769.
This great picture was taken by Marco Ramos, who is based in Germany and Portugal. As he says on his Facebook page "Traveling and Photography is my life. And I love my life." Visit his Facebook page Marco Ramos – Photography, if you like his work.
And the last photo in this week's selection was taken in North Yorkshire, UK. North Yorkshire is a county in northern England, of which 40% is covered by national parks.
This beautiful picture was sent by George Hodan from Harrogate, the largest city of North Yorkshire. If you like his work visit his Facebook page Hodan Pictures and his website where you can download all his photos for free.
Thanks to everyone who participated in this week's edition of the competition, either by sending or by voting for the pictures! We wish you nice end of the weekend!

Khloe Kardashian is, hands down, Auntie of the Year to her four nieces and nephews, but new rumors out of the gossip gate claim that 31-year-old KoKo is planning a family of her own ... on her own.
RadarOnline.com claims a Kardashian source squealed that Khloe wants to be a mom so badly she's willing to strike out on her own to make it happen. Recently she's been spotted getting cozy with NBA player James Harden, but Radar's source says the reality star is trying to decide between adoption or a sperm donor. She doesn't want to rely on anyone else to make her dreams of being a mom come true.
More from The Stir: Scott Disick Announces His Return to Vegas & Gets Slammed By Fans
If there's any truth to this story (and, honestly, I'm on the fence), this is one seriously brave move on Khloe's part. I think the youngest Kardashian sister would make an amazing mom, and I imagine she'd have a crazy amount of support from her family, but, whoa, that's a big step.
I'm also a bit skeptical, because Khloe sees how difficult it has been for Kourtney to essentially raise three kids on her own in the absence of hard-partying Scott Disick. Then again, maybe Kourt's strength has been an inspiration.
Either way, you do you, Khloe! You'll be a fabulous mom whether that happens in the immediate or distant future.

Groupon Smacks Naysayers With Earnings Over Forecast
Groupon on Monday announced revenues that topped the company's prior forecast as well as analyst expectations.
The Chicago-based company, which has had a bumpy road of late, said that it took in $559.3 million in revenue during the first quarter 2012, compared with $295.5 million a year ago. Operating income was $39.6 million, including an expense of $28 million related to non-cash stock-based compensation.
The company had said to expect revenue of up to $550 million, and net income from operations of up to $35 million.
"We are pleased to report a record quarter that demonstrates our progress in unlocking the opportunity in local commerce for merchants and customers worldwide," CEO Andrew Mason said in a statement.
The company posted a per-share loss of two cents, though excluding various items, it would have earned two cents per share, in line with analysts' forecasts.
The report comes as the deal-making service faced tough times as it has had to restate fourth quarter earnings amid what it said were a large number of post-holiday returns. In the aftermath, the company has shuffled around its board of directors, bringing in some new outside expertise.
In a letter to shareholders earlier this month, Mason defended the company's efforts to move quickly in a fast-changing market.
Looking forward, Groupon said to expect second quarter revenue of between $550 million and $590 million, with income from operations in the range of $25 million and $45 million.
In slides accompanying the earnings report, Groupon noted that its customer base continues to grow, with 36.9 million active customers versus 33.7 million a quarter earlier. Marketing spend as a percentage of revenue, meanwhile, dropped to 21 percent from 32 percent in the same period.
The company's stock has lost as much as half its value since going public late last year at $20 a share. However, shares traded up strongly on Monday ahead of the earnings report. Just before the close of regular trading, shares were at $11.63, up $1.73, or more than 17 percent.
