2006 Washington Ironman Bodybuilding, Figure & Fitness Competition Review & Results!
2006 Washigton Ironman Bodybuilding, Figure & Fitness Competition. Get the latest results and pictures from the competion right here. Check it out!
The 2006 Bodybuiling.com Washington Ironman promised and delivered the best. This year's event, once again held at Bellevue's Meyedenbaur Center boasted one hundred and thirteen competitors and a host of top guest performers.
Kicking off the show was a 9 - 11 tribute by the New Beginnings Praise & Dance Team fronted by hometown hero and poser extraordinaire David Patterson.
The performance brought the capacity crowd of fifteen hundred to their feet. By the time Elaine Patterson finished her soulful rendition of America the Beautiful there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Heavy weight competitor, Pastor Ken Ralston then gave an opening prayer for the armed forces service men and women, the victims of 911 and the competitors in the show.
It took the wisecracking antics of MC Kim "Kong� Farrison to get the spectators back to the mood for some of the hardest fought muscle wars seen in the Northwest in quite a while. And that is saying a lot.
Fitness competitor Tanya Pater was the sole contestant in the division. That is probably for the best for the no shows. She was nearly untouchable.
Her physique was in perfect accordance with the new NPC guidelines on women's fitness and figure. Her routine was powerful and fast paced with just the right mix of strength, flexibility and dance moves to keep it exciting throughout.
Sleek physiques and dazzling one and two - piece suits dominated the figure divisions. Team Evolution's Genie Markwell continues to improve her body and her presentation with each show. Sherry Smith came all the way from Anchorage, Alaska to thwart Markwell's bid for the top notch in the Figure A class.

The Figure B class first place was claimed by Fitness winner Tanya Pater. Tanya's momentum was too much for recent Northern Classic overall winner Sharon Falcon. Falcon had to be satisfied with a close second and the indomitable Susie Hoverson took third.
The redhead darling of Vancouver, Washington, Amanda LaPore, traveled north to win the first place award in the Figure C class.
Newcomers Kris Isakson presented herself well and placed second with Michelle Landreth of Kennewick third.
There were several stand-outs in the Figure D class. An obvious one was the future overall winner, Julie Alves. Julie had her work cut out for her with an Andre "Bam Bam� Scott protégé, Melissa Yerdon giving her quite a challenge and third place winner Jennifer Kristiansen making a strong showing as well.
The Figure Over 35 class was nothing to overlook. Many of the ladies could have done well in the open classes. Winner Austine Powell carried herself with the elegance of seasoned competitor. It was hard to believe it was her first show. Second place Bonnie Hobson bound across the stage like she owned it. Her audience response was one of the best of the evening. Alaskan Debbie Fowler came all the way from the far north. She returned happy with her third place trophy.
The Novice Classes showed what the future look like in Northwest bodybuilding. Tyson Wentz won the lightweight class, Mike Clark won the middleweight and the overall, and Dustin Knight the heavyweight. Brandon Dubisar, Jesse Disch, Kevin Scott, and Cornelius Giusca are just of few of the up-and-comers to keep an eye out for. Cornelius Giusca was tied for first in the Heavy Weight Division with Dustin Knight and lost the tie breaker. Cornelius very easily could have won his class with his tall frame and great lines.
Leslie Hilton was the sole competitor in the novice women's lightweight class.
Teresa Johnson took first in the Heavy Novice and Krista Moser placed second. Hilton posed well and edged out heavyweight winner Teresa Johnson for the overall.
Masters Men Over 40 Winner Daniel Rutherford displayed a physique that was well balanced in both muscularity and definition. Rutherford tossed off two-dozen classic poses and left the stage a winner.
Second place James Harris topped his nemesis John Shepard for the second time in two months. Shepard won the division the year before.
In the Masters Men Over 50 the wild man was back. Michael Cavaiani was unopposed in his class and in his high octane, over the top posing routine. Mike is a favorite of the fans, as he always seems to out do himself from his previous show. He puts a lot of thought and practice into his routines and they are always very entertaining.
It was Walt Radke's night in the masters over sixty. Walt continues to fine-tune his physique under the tutelage of Team Evolution's Pete Grubbs. Hats off to fellow competitors Robert Mussehl, Thomas Nasky, and the man in chains, retired Lutheran Pastor, Paul Stone.
The "Little Big Man� Heath Warren guest posing routine followed the masters overall. Heath is in hard training for this year's NPC Nationals. He gave the crowd a taste of what he will be bringing to Miami.
"Little Big Man� Heath Warren.
The Masters Women Over 35 kicked of the second half of the show. Renee Ummel came ready to take on all comers. She was rock hard and shredded. Her only competition was that mighty gal from Marysville, Carmen Peddy. Ummel won the class but judging from their spirited presentations both ladies had a great time.
Junior Men winner Rory Cosgrove had his posing routine down. Coming from Port Orchad to defeat the likes of Scott Hoffman and Marv Saura, Cosgrove really got the fans buzzing again.
IFBB fitness pro Tanji Johnson brought out the stars with her guest performance. The Connect All-Stars that is. The Connect All-Stars are the cream of the crop of cheer squads from around the area. Their collaboration with Tanji was something to behold and nearly impossible to describe. The crowd went crazy for their high energy routine that ended with Tanji being tossed up into the air into an overhead lift, twenty feet above the Ironman crowd.

Team Evolution's Cindy Goodrich came on like gangbusters during her open women bodybuilding free posing routine. Cindy has made some great improvements in build since she moved from the figure division in to bodybuilding. I think 2007 is going to be a big year for her.
The Open Women Middleweight winner Mary Morrison is another competitor whose persistence has paid off well. Last year's Overall Ironman Novice Champion Jenifer Erickson placed a strong second. Open Heavyweight winner, Audra Kimsey, finally got her due. She has been training hard and competing regularly in the Northwest. She came to Bellevue harder then I have seen her in recent past. Her efforts were rewarded with the overall women's Ironman sword. On a side note, Audra also holds a world record in the deadlift.
Tina Worthey's eclectic free posing was well received as was East Wenatchee's favorite daughter, Patrica Card.

The brother and sister team of Mark Thacker and Renee Ummel came out in the mixed pairs competition, recreating the fall of man from the Garden of Eden. Making a surprise appearance during the routine was the Devil Himself, Tony Ruggeiro. When looking for a person to play the Devil, Tony's name was brought up. Tony was quoted as saying, "This role was made for me�. See the photos for more info.
Mark Thacker and Renee Ummel.
Roland Kickinger came out and posed in the Bantam Weight Division. At 6 - 05, Roland is by far the world's tallest Bantam competitor. Roland has a great sense of humor and was very gracious to all he encountered.
Roland was provided by Muscle & Fitness and Flex Magazines and has become a fixture at the Washington Ironman the past several years. It just wouldn't be quite the same show without Roland!
The open men's division showed what drug-free bodybuilding is all about. There were some phenomenal builds all carved the natural way with hard work and clean dieting.
Bill Willyerd from the Fit Stop gym in Olympia won the Bantamweight class with a strong presentation.
It was good to see second place winner Thoai Nguyen back after a five-year layoff. Thoai makes up for his height with some densely packed muscle. Shane Norton and Michael Leon-Guerro rounded out the class.
The lightweight promised to be a hard fought battle. The fifty-three year old Northwest legend Henry Jung always comes ready to win. Mark Thacker, coming back after a couple year hiatus, is always a threat. And you can always count on Jerome Williams as a spoiler. All three posing routines were flawless.
Each fan had their pick but there could only be one winner. The judging panel, headed by the "Big Block� John Tuman gave Mark Thacker the win over some very tough competition. Mark said afterward that he was retiring from bodybuilding and that this was his swan song. Mark said that he wanted the Washington Ironman to be his last show.
Middleweight winner Joe Pearson finally hit his peak at the right time. He has been close several time and finally pulled all together. It sounded like second place winner, Scott Hickman from the Kirkland Gold's Gym brought half the Eastside with him as a fan club. Pearson was probably the most balanced competitor in the whole show and one of the first athletes to be drug tested because he looked so good.
The Big Dog from Hayden, Idaho, Eric Hess came ready to rumble in the light-heavies. He took that class with Anthony Bates in second and Scott Schaffer in third. Schaffer had one of the best posing routines of the evening and is always a force to be reckoned with.
In the Heavy weight class it was Pastor Ken Ralston of Family Life Church who took the class with big Jon Warner placing second and patent attorney Mike Hughes in third. Pastor Ken came in very tight conditioning and was one of the favorites going into the Overall.
Before the Overall Judging, the audience was treated to a Christian posing routine by Olympia contender Troy Alves. Roland Kickinger took the microphone from the Dancing Emcee to introduce his good friend Troy Alves. Troy has a classic physique with a wide back, narrow waist and flowing lines reminiscent of Frank Zane. I think that everyone could look at Troy and say "I would love to look like that�! You can't say that about too many of today's top bodybuilders who lose their shape as they strive to get bigger and bigger. Troy just has a pretty physique that doesn't turn people off. Troy is also one of the nicest pro bodybuilders in the sport and despite being two weeks away from the Olympia, was his normal friendly self to all the fans. Troy was also courtesy of Muscle and Fitness and Flex Magazines.
The class winners were ready to rock and roll after Troy's inspiring routine. Who would the Overall winner be? Bill Willyerd in the Bantam? Mark Thacker with his shredded symmetrical physique in the Light? Joe Pearson with his balanced physique in the Middle? The "Big Dog� Eric Hess in the Light Heavy or Pastor Ken Ralston in the Heavy?
It seemed to be a battle between the Heavy Champion Pastor Ken and Lightweight winner Mark "The Shredder� Thacker. When the dust settled it was the Police Sergeant from Everett, Mark Thacker in the lightweight who took the Overall. Mark was ecstatic about his Overall Victory and said that the show could not have worked out any better for him. Mark said that he wanted the Ironman to be his final show with his sister Renee Ummel and to go out on top was extra special.
There were also 32 exhibitor booths at the event including Bodybuilding.com, Universal Nutrition, Muscle & Fitness and Flex, Zipfizz, Pro Body Nutrition, OHS, MC Bodywear, LA Gymmees, Azteca, Desert Fire, Cookie Lee, XS Energy, Excellent Spirit and Body Bell Clothing.
Azteca and the Desert Fire booths were serving free food all night to long lines of hungry fans. Emerald City Smoothie gave all competitors free smoothies during the show and sold full size smoothies for only $2.00 to everyone else. All competitors received a custom Ironman gym bag, a short sleeve from Bodybuilding.com, a long sleeved contest shirt from LA Gymmees, a Zipfizz sample bag and a year's subscription to Ironman magazine for entering the show. Cytosport provided a full 2.5 lb container of Muscle Milk for all of the Bodybuilding winners throughout the show, in first through fifth places. Zipfizz was giving out free samples of their energy drink at the Zipfizz Hummer and many other booths had free samples.
Needless to say, no one went hungry at the show. The 2006 Bodybuilding.com Washington Ironman is now one for the record books but will live on in the memories of many happy competitors.

Agrarians from Belgium and France visit Agroprodservice company for the second year in a row in order to exchange experience and enhance partnership. 34 representatives from different companies of these countries visited company's production facilities in Nastasiv and Ostriv village of Ternopil district.
They visited apple-tree gardens in Nastasiv village, soybean processing plant, laboratory, grains' storage, seed plant, elevator, and facilities of Ternopil Meat Processing Plant, in particular. Philippe Collard said that they are travelling to adopt experience from big countries where agriculture is more developed. The sizes of Belgium don't let establishing of big agro-industrial enterprises on their territory. That's why facilities of Agroprodservice company were impressive.


Basementizid is a project/gallery with its main focus on contemporary art pieces of word, image and sound. The artworks exhibited cover a wide spectrum of artistic expressions. Further more there is a dialogue to facilitate the exchange of regional, national and international artists. think global, act local.
It was important for me to start this project in Heilbronn and not for example in Berlin, Barcelona or NYC. I wanted to grow something at my place of living as there was no underground art scene by that time.
Another important part of basementizid´s concept is to invite artists on a permanent basis from all round world…..modart magazin refered to basementizid in the European gallery guide as one of Germanys interesting art locations.
thanx to all people which belive to idea of this project, support it, set their time for it, also companys like carhartt, protectyourstyle, dubwars, bright tradeshow, turbojugend, plemplem give us financial support…when i start to write all of your names, auuu…thank you, danke, hvala, merci…without you all of you this project would never exist!!!

Q: Strange binding behavior of Hibernate when storing OffsetTime (JVM) into Time I had an unexpected result when try to store with Hibernate (5.6.1) OffsetTime entity properties into Postgresql Time with time zone field.
For ex (if current default zone is +02):
| OffsetTime| Timez    |
| --------  | -------- |
| 00:00+01  | 00:00+02 |
| 00:00+02  | 00:00+02 |
| 00:00+03  | 00:00+02 |

Original offset was lost and stored default instead.
I researched two classes:

*

*org.hibernate.type.descriptor.sql.TimeTypeDescriptor

final Time time = javaTypeDescriptor.unwrap( value, Time.class, options );

*

*org.hibernate.type.descriptor.java.OffsetTimeJavaDescriptor

if ( java.sql.Time.class.isAssignableFrom( type ) ) {
    return (X) java.sql.Time.valueOf( offsetTime.toLocalTime() );
}

I think, that I had some mistake in understanding this logic, but in another answers I saw recommendation: (LINK)
 ZoneOffset zoneOffset = ZoneOffset.systemDefault().getRules()
            .getOffset(LocalDateTime.now());

 Notification notification = new Notification()
   //...
 ).setClockAlarm(
      OffsetTime.of(7, 30, 0, 0, zoneOffset)
 );

So, do I must to convert all OffsetTime values to default time zone so that it store correctly?

Q: If a particle decay has quark annihilation will it always emit a photon? From what I can gather the decay $\pi^0 \rightarrow \gamma \gamma $ emits two photons because $\pi^0 $ has quark content $(u\bar u-d\bar d)/\sqrt{2} $, and the $u$ annihilates with $\bar u$, and $d$ annihilates with $\bar d$. So each annihilation has it's own photon. If this is true does that mean that $\pi^0 \rightarrow \gamma \gamma \gamma $ is not allowed because there aren't three annihilations?

A: One reason that a $\pi_0$ can't decay into one photon is that a massive particle decaying into a single massless particle violates the conservation of momentum. This is obvious if you think about it in the rest frame of the pion. Another reason is that this would violate charge-conjugation symmetry. The C-parity of a neutral pion is $+1$, while the C-parity of $n$ photons is $(-1)^n$.
It can decay into two photons because this is compatible with momentum conservation. In the pion's rest frame, the two photons can come out in opposite directions, with zero total momentum. But there don't have to be two kinds of quarks inside for it to do this. For example, charmonium ($c\bar{c}$) decays into two photons, as does positronium on the leptonic side.
It cannot decay into three, five, etc. photons because this is forbidden by charge-conjugation symmetry.
It can decay into four, six, etc, photons, but the probability of each extra photon is reduced by a factor of $\alpha\approx1/137$, the fine structure constant. (There can be other numerical factors also.)
A neutral pion does not necessarily decay to just photons. For example, among other possibilities are: one photon, one electron, and one positron; no photons, two electrons, and two positrons; just one electron and one positron.


Almost 30 years ago, JD Cowles began experimenting with different spices to use in a sauce for his homemade buffalo wings. Today his small Venice-based company All Spice Café makes the best hot sauces we've ever had, in robust flavors like chipotle-garlic and cayennehabanero. Not a drop of flavor is sacrificed for the sake of heat—but the peppers will leave you panting. Cowles's sauces can be found at gourmet shops around Southern California.
How does an independent sauce get into stores?
For me, it came down to giving away a lot of free hot sauce. I gave the owner of Stroh's Gourmet, Jason Stroh, a bottle of my cayenne-habanero to get his opinion. The next time I saw him, he asked for a couple of cases. The bigger stores are trickier, but individual Whole Foods stores will give local purveyors a shot.
What's the right balance between heat and flavor?
It has to taste good and then have plenty of heat. I've had too many sauces that are so hot, you can't finish your meal—and they don't taste very good. What a waste! Start out with good flavor, and the heat can be added later. The reverse isn't true. If it's too hot and doesn't taste good, it's hard to recover.
Can you judge a sauce by its label?
Those wacky labels are more of a novelty than anything else; you have no idea what the sauces taste like. Many of the gourmet stores will have some open bottles in a refrigerator for you to taste. Make sure to read the ingredients before you try. Many of them have pepper extract, which is superconcentrated. Be careful!
What is the world's hottest pepper?
The bhut jolokia from northeast India was confirmed by Guinness World Records as being the hottest chile in the world. It's about twice as hot as the previous world-record holder, the red savina habanero that's cultivated in Walnut, California.
Is hot sauce a fetish?
I think addiction is more like it. When hot peppers reach the tongue, endorphins are released, which creates a feeling of euphoria. Your mouth can be on fire, but you can't stop eating.
Is there anything hot sauce can't go on?

With summer just around the corner and the grill starting to warm up in anticipation of evenings in the backyard with burgers on the grill one thing that you have is a sliding glass door. A sliding glass door is a great way to open the outdoors while still enjoying the comfort of the inside. However, most sliding glass doors aren't very energy efficient and having a sliding glass door that does more of a grinding and shoving instead of sliding can be very big problem and extremely frustrating. If you don't have a sliding glass door or you need your current sliding glass door replaced be sure to check out these tips for sliding glass door replacement in Downriver Michigan.

The materials used to set up better quality doors are of different types and have additional features. To make a concrete decision on the sliding glass doors in Downriver Michigan to install know the features and how they can benefit you.
The most trendy good quality feature is an invisible screen. This makes it better to see the countryside in the homes sight. For you to look outside the house your invisible screen will help you to do this without obstruction each and every time you want. A great screen can be really helpful during summer and spring months when you want to allow the fresh air inside.
The other quality feature of home door replacement with sliding glass is the ability to have the detachable track. This gives you room for the easy removal of the window so to clean it.

This is especially true in lower quality sliding glass doors. If you have a sliding glass door installed in Downriver Michigan today make sure it has multi-locking mechanisms. Dual locks are better because they are much more difficult to gain access and gives you more security.

About: Moonstone is a feldspar mineral exhibiting a soft, watery opaqueness and a silvery-white reflection called chatoyancy that moves as a line across the surface as light varies. It has been used in Roman jewelry for nearly two thousand years and even longer in the Orient.
It has always been a sacred stone in India with a special significance for lovers, and is a traditional wedding gift. Named for its moon-like sheen, moonstone occurs in delicate shades of peach, blue, gray, white and a prismatic variety known as rainbow moonstone.
Metaphysical: Peach moonstone supports the heart as it stimulates the mind, soothing worry or anxiety, and bringing out the best in people. Its loving energy promotes the divine in all situations and is an emotional support for intuitive or sensitive children.
Peach moonstone has long been known for its calming, soothing qualities on the emotional body. Its energy is balancing and healing, assisting in the mastery of emotions by bringing them under the control of Higher Will, rather than expressing or repressing them.
Why you should wear this stone: We use peach moonstone in our sacral chakra designs due to its ability to help identify emotional patterns that are stored in the subconscious, and serve as a guardian to contain explosive passions. It may also serve to stimulate confidence and composure.
The sacral chakra is all about embracing change, fertility and growth. To truly embrace these two important and inevitable aspects of life we must look at what patterns we have developed and hold onto. It is the subconscious ones that can cause us the most difficulty as well because we cannot work on that which we cannot identify. Use this stone and our sacral designs to move forward into your greater self with confidence and composure.

The World Needs a New Kind of Currency, Bitcoin: Investor Tim Draper
Tim Draper, the founder of venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson, says the world needs a new kind of currency. Speaking from Stanford, California, Draper, an early investor in Bitcoin and a victim of the infamous 2014 Mt. Gox hack, spoke to Bloomberg TV of his confidence in cryptocurrencies.
Draper lost around 40,000 Bitcoins in the Mt. Gox hack, equivalent to roughly $250,000 at the time. He told Bloomberg TV that his initial response to the hack was that it would be the end of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
"I thought that's the end. It's too bad, because this was going to be the currency that was free and open and cross-border and global…"
Amid the turmoil surrounding the Mt. Gox hack, Draper's foresight and intuition at the time proved remarkable. Despite losing a quarter of a million dollars himself, he noted that "Bitcoin only dropped about ten percent on the news that Mt. Gox, the biggest exchange in Bitcoin basically stole or lost… all that Bitcoin." To Draper, Bitcoin's resilience in the face of the major disruption the Mt. Gox hack presented it, "meant the world needs this."
When pressed as to the possibility of Bitcoin potentially falling back below $1,000 from the current price around $9,000, Draper was unfazed. Acknowledging volatility in currency markets but arguing the chances of a such a fall were unlikely, the venture capitalist spun the question around. Was Bitcoin volatile against fiat currencies or were fiat currencies volatile against Bitcoin?
"Bitcoin is the future currency," he said, "Why would I sell the future for the past? Why would I go grab some weird fiat thing that's subject to the whims of some government?"
As for Bitcoin's upside, Draper argued that "the world market for currency is $86 trillion. I think that will be crypto. I think a very large portion of that will be crypto."
Draper speaks almost of a new world order created by Bitcoin (and cryptocurrency technology, generally). "The unbanked are bankable through Bitcoin," he asserts, with banking regulations making it unfeasible for banks to open accounts for those without sufficient cash. The unbanked, Draper insists, represent half of the world's population.
On the question of security, given the history of exchanges being hacked and cryptocurrencies being stolen, Draper stood firm. "My Bitcoin is more secure than my dollars in the banks." The blockchain has not been hacked, he argues, whereas banks have been "over and over".
Tim Draper is a third-generation venture capitalist, steeped in old money pedigree. He has established a university in Silicon Valley focusing on preparing startups to approach venture capital firms. But if his university is an indicator of Draper's stance on cryptocurrency, he is extremely bullish on the new asset class. Draper University has recently added a new course to its curriculum – an intensive course on blockchain technology, set to launch in April.

Ah, the annual family holiday card photo. Sometimes gathering everyone together to get that one "perfect" picture is a bit more like herding cats. We've been there, we survived, and we're sharing our lessons learned. We looked to our Snapfish family—and all-time favorite celeb families—to spill the most on-point photo tips that make 'em click.
Keep your photo plan simple. Less is more and keeps the focus on the subjects – you!
Tip 2: Get Fido in the picture.
Get your furry counterparts in the photo, too. Sit them front and center in some of your shots. For a real treat, make sure they get in a good session of play beforehand, so that they'll be more cooperative and sit still for extended periods of time.
Tip 3: Scout your location.
Tip 4: Wear coordinating outfits.
Tip 5: Put yourself in the photos!
It's easy taking tons of photos while you're enjoying family time together—but getting yourself in some of them is another story! Don't forget to make some time for yourself on the other side of the lens, too.
Tip 6: Show the love.
Tip 7: Match your card to the scenery.
Snapfish offers a variety of card designs to match your family photo ops! Once you've narrowed down which shots you want to feature, look for a card design that mimics any patterns or colors in your photos. Shop this Joy Gold Foliage Card.
Gone are the days when everyone needs to be so stiff and posed that you can't see any of the fun happening on the other side of the lens. There's something to be said for candid moments. Catch a whole roll (er, memory card) of your family in between posed photos. Those silly moments can make the best photos.
Every photoshoot can get tiring, especially for kids, pets, and hangry family members. It's a great idea to bring an "emergency kit" for anything that might come up. Pack snacks, water, and music or simple games to keep everyone satisfied. Don't forget to give kids breaks between sets (and that goes for pets, too!) Also important: batteries. Charge the camera's batteries. And bring extras!
Photo taking goes fast when everyone's having fun. Take advantage of down time to play between serious shots, or make the giggles your focus! Whatever you do, have a good time.
We love seeing what you create! Share your family photo moments with us on Instagram and tag them with #snapfish.


Francisco Ribera (1537–1591) was a Spanish Jesuit deowogian, identified wif de Futurist Christian eschatowogicaw view.
He was born at Viwwacastín. He joined de Society of Jesus in 1570, and taught at de University of Sawamanca. He acted as confessor to Teresa of Aviwa. He died in 1591 at de age of fifty-four, one year after de pubwication of his work In Sacrum Beati Ioannis Apostowi, & Evangewistiae Apocawypsin Commentarij.
To accompwish dis, Ribera understood de 1260 days and 42 monds and 3½ times of prophecy witerawwy, rejecting an interpretation as 1260 years.

Futurism (Christianity) is de proposaw dat de Book of Revewation does not bear de appwication to de Middwe Ages or de papacy, rader de "future" (more particuwarwy to a period immediatewy prior to de Second Coming). The Dictionary of Premiwwenniaw Theowogy (1997) states dat Ribera was an Augustinian amiwwenniawist, whose form of futurism proposed dat onwy de introductory chapters of "Revewation referred to ancient Rome, and de remainder referred to a witeraw dree and hawf years at de end of time. His interpretation was den fowwowed by Robert Bewwarmine and de Spanish Dominican Thomas Mawvenda.
Thomas Brightman, in particuwar, writing in de earwy 17f century as an Engwish Protestant, contested Ribera's views. He argued dat de Cadowic use of de Vuwgate had widhewd commentary from de Book of Revewation, and den provided an interpretation avoiding de connection wif de Papacy put forward in de historicist point of view.

On behalf of Debra Booher & Associates Co., LPA posted in Chapter 7 on Thursday, May 12, 2016.
Many Ohio residents may be able to attest to the fact that facing financial issues can be a significantly stressful situation. Individuals may struggle daily just to meet their needs as they work to handle their debt on a limited income. For individuals who may not have a steady monthly income but wish to tackle their serious debt issues, considering Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be a prudent step.
On behalf of Debra Booher & Associates Co., LPA posted in Chapter 7 on Thursday, April 21, 2016.
Many Ohio residents may find the idea of making financial decisions overwhelming. In many cases, decisions regarding important aspects of life can seem even more daunting. If individuals are facing situations, such as wanting to better manage considerable debt, they may wish to find out more information about Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies in order to potentially feel more confident when making related decisions.
On behalf of Debra Booher & Associates Co., LPA posted in Chapter 7 on Tuesday, March 22, 2016.
Business losses can be a strong factor in an individual needing personal financial help. In many cases, these losses may lead to Ohio residents facing thousands if not millions of dollars in debt that they may not know how to handle on their own. As a result, they may find it prudent to explore debt management options, such as Chapter 7 bankruptcy that may allow them to work toward a fresh start.
On behalf of Debra Booher & Associates Co., LPA posted in Chapter 7 on Wednesday, January 27, 2016.
Even individuals who feel relatively secure in their spending habits could find themselves in a tough financial spot. Finances can quickly become complicated for anyone, and what may begin as a small issue could lead an Ohio resident into thousands of dollars of debt that he or she may not be able to pay back. For individuals in such predicaments, Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be able to help.
On behalf of Debra Booher & Associates Co., LPA posted in Chapter 7 on Thursday, December 24, 2015.
Having a business struggle can have considerable impacts on an individual. That party may have placed a great deal of time and money into the business, and it's financial losses could lead to serious debt issues. Ohio residents may be interested in a case in another state in which a man recently filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy due to a restaurant facing overwhelming financial issues.
On behalf of Debra Booher & Associates Co., LPA posted in Chapter 7 on Tuesday, December 1, 2015.
When a Ohio business owner faces financial difficulties, he or she may be concerned over how to handle accrued debt. One man in another state recently filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Reports indicated that the man is an accomplished home builder and developer. He filed bankruptcy in both personal and business-related capacities.
On behalf of Debra Booher & Associates Co., LPA posted in Chapter 7 on Friday, October 30, 2015.
When individuals have a passion for something, they often want to share that passion with others. In some cases, Ohio residents may open businesses pertaining to their interests. Unfortunately, not all businesses are successful, and individuals could face a considerable amount of debt if a business fails. However, information on Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be able to help individuals looking to get back on track.
On behalf of Debra Booher & Associates Co., LPA posted in Chapter 7 on Friday, October 2, 2015.
Ohio residents of any age can face a financial emergency. In some cases, parties who have retirement funds may believe that using these funds for an emergency rather than their intended purpose could help them out of a tough spot. However, using retirement funds could cause problems in the future when that money is needed. Other alternatives, such as Chapter 7 bankruptcy, may be worth considering.
On behalf of Debra Booher & Associates Co., LPA posted in Chapter 7 on Thursday, July 30, 2015.
Some individuals may believe that people facing financial issues are irresponsible or otherwise did not attend to their financial affairs adequately. However, this idea is most often not the case. Financial difficulties can arise from numerous unexpected situations that are not related to irresponsibility. Because money issues can be a touchy subject, many Ohio residents may feel as if considering bankruptcy is giving in to misconceptions or admitting defeat. However, the Chapter 7 bankruptcy process can actually be a beneficial course of action.
On behalf of Debra Booher & Associates Co., LPA posted in Chapter 7 on Thursday, May 21, 2015.
When Ohio residents are considering getting a handle on their debt, they may wonder which management option may be right for them. They may want to consider consolidation or settlements rather than bankruptcy because the word "bankruptcy" often appears to have a negative connotation. However, Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be an option that some parties could find substantially beneficial when working to get their financial situations back on track.

It just breaks the immersion of creating music like you're in a music studio. I feel, if you're going to imitate the look and feel of real hardware, then don't operate via a crappy pop-up method.
Plopping down VST's like lego blocks
The concept that VST instruments and effects are just these things to plop down like lego blocks is something that just feels so amateurish for some reason.
Using a computer to create music doesn't feel that much different than browsing the internet and checking emails; a mouse and keyboard are used for both. It's already hard enough to feel like real music creators using a computer when musicians in the 80's and earlier didn't use computers.
For me, VST pop up windows makes it feel even less like someone is creating music and more like they're using Microsoft Excel. Even when I've watched video interviews of millionaire music producers using their favorite DAW, when they start clicking and dragging VST windows all around the screen… it feels like I'm watching some middle schooler play with MTV Music Generator and not some music industry legend.
This is why I've only ever wanted to use Reason
Reason is the only DAW that doesn't use the disembodied-floating music window system for generating music that all other DAW's employ. You don't have hardware-envy using Reason. You don't feel the need to qualify your VST workflow by buying redundant, real-world hardware devices, like rack effects or keyboard synthesizers.
For me, having a DAW that's built around the same concepts of a physical studio… rack furniture, rack rails, screws, power cords all virtually represented… connecting audio and CV cables the way it's done in physical studios, it's all so rewarding. Freak, you can even unscrew the rack screws of the Subtractor!
VST's just don't do that for me. I realize those of you reading this are probably head-over-heels over VST's and can't fathom how anyone could be against them. But I've felt this way from the start.
You'd think VST's being introduced into Reason would make me feel better about them, but I only feel worse. They cheapen Reason's immersion. My loathing towards VST's hasn't been because Reason never supported them before. If anything, Reason made me assume I wouldn't be so repulsed by them if they were introduced into Reason.
Nope… VST's gross me out even more, now that they can be used in Reason. There's already a few visual things Propellerhead has implemented that hurt immersion, such as pop up spectrum analyzers, audio / mix devices lacking wires leading to the SSL mixer and (worst of all) combinators and audio / mix devices lacking rack screws or other realistic hardware visuals. Using VST makes immersion that much worse.
But the world loves VST's
I support VST's being in Reason for those of you that want to use them, but I'm completely against using them personally. It lessens the immersion and enjoyment I get out of creating music. I actually feel a kind of uneasiness when watching people use VST's. A feeling of "wrongness", like watching someone eat a Snickers bar with a knife and fork.
Just odd I seem to be the only one who feels this way.
Later. – MJ

Among the half-dozen banks that have gotten failing grades are Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase, the article said. On the other hand, Citigroup got high marks.
Whether the group is having much of an impact depends upon perspective. In 2018, according to raw data from the FBI's National Instant Check System, the agency performed the second-highest number of background checks in its history, with 26,181,936 NICS checks initiated. That was second only to 2016, which set a record—perhaps because of that year's race for the White House in which most pundits were predicting that anti-gun Hillary Rodham Clinton would win—of 27,538,673 initiated checks.
But pro-rights politicians are fighting back. Last month, Senators Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and John Kennedy (R-LA) introduced the Freedom Financing Act. It is designed to prevent large financial institutions from denying service to "constitutionally-protected industries that are fully compliant with all laws and statutes," according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, which reported about the bill, S. 821.
There is a companion measure in the House, H.R. 2079, sponsored by Congressman Roger Williams (R-TX).

Bove: Government's Case Against Goldman Is A Joke
Lawrence Lewitinn	| @lvlewitinn
Published 4:47 PM ET Tue, 16 July 2013 CNBC.com
What do Jimmy Cayne, Dick Fuld, and Joseph Cassano have in common? Not one of them has been charged with any involvement in the financial collapse 2007 – 2008.
Who has been charged? A mid-level Goldman Sachs trader who was 28 years old at the time. Fabrice Tourre, currently a grad student, is now on trial on SEC charges he intentionally misled investors about the mortgage securities. The government's evidence includes this email to his girlfriend at the time which read:
"[The] Whole building is about to collapse anytime now… Only potential survivor, the Fabulous Fab… standing in the middle of all these complex, highly leveraged, exotic trades he created without necessarily understanding all of the implications of those monstrosities!!!"
Yes, he really did refer to himself in the third person. And, yes, he really did call himself "the Fabulous Fab". Let's not forget, he was 28 years-old at the time.
Oh, did we fail to mention this mid-level employee was the only person charged with the mortgage securities markets collapse, the one that plunged the planet into a financial crisis?
Dick Bove, vice president of equity research at Reafferty Capital Markets, is perhaps one of the world's most respected banking analysts. In an interview with Talking Numbers, he says the government isn't really serious in going after those responsible for the securitized mortgage debacle.
Bove also levels a stunning charge against one member of congress, saying this person is about to create a crisis "of major proportions".
To see the rest of Bove's shocking interview, watch the video above.

A.O'G. R.I.P.
"Anthony O'Grady, who died on December 19, was the Godfather. He was the writer/editor/publisher who transformed Australian rock journalism and music magazines, and took it to the next level.
"When he launched RAM in 1975, after leaving the advertising game and having edited the short-lived Ear for Music, one of his stated objectives was that its local content would be on a par with the copy it licensed in from the NME and Melody Maker – and in doing that, the fortnightly (originally-foldover) tabloid became the journal of record for the Australian music scene between the mid-70s and mid-80s.
"AOG fostered a couple of generations of Australia's best music writers, from Annie Burton through Andrew McMillan and Jen Jewel Brown to Miranda Brown, Stuart Coupe, Greg Taylor, Toby Creswell and many others, including, daresay, yours truly.
"He left the magazine in 1981 to concentrate on his golf game and other endeavors, including having a family; through subsequent editors Greg Taylor and then Phil Stafford, RAM maintained a pre-eminence that was really only undermined by the rise of the free street press in the mid-80s; it eventually folded in 1989, one of a number of markers of the end of an era.
"Anthony enjoyed continued success in the 80s working in film, TV and radio, winning an AFI Award in 1985 for his supervision of the soundtrack for Street Hero. In 1994, after working as editor of the in-house magazine for the Brash's chain of music stores, he was a co-founder of the influential industry tip-sheet The Music Network. In 2001, he published his one and only book, The Pure Stuff, about Cold Chisel's 1998 reformation; it's just a shame he didn't do more such long-form writing – but then maybe his gift as much as anything was spotting and nurturing talent in others.
"I've often been asked how Anthony helped me develop as a writer, but by the time I arrived at RAM, at the start of 1980, he was more the Editor-at-Large of the magazine, and no longer so hands-on in the production process. He was, well, the Godfather, as the mast-head sometimes read, and it was merely his nod, the faith he put in me, that gave me the belief that I could do it. And I did, even as much as at first I must have tested everybody's patience, because, well, I really couldn't write...
"Anthony was a gentleman of almost the old school: erudite, opinionated, warm and modest. He had been ill for some time – had a kidney transplanted – but I was pleased to have kept in touch and I saw him, for a feed or a drink, on numerous occasions in recent times. When he died, in his hometown of Sydney, aged 71, from a complication in his treatment, the outpouring of affection and admiration was appropriately enormous."
THOSE WORDS were what I wrote that rock'sbackpages.com published as per the graphic above, but since you'd need to be a subscriber to access them there, that's why I've reprinted them here. There's a few other tributes elsewhere online, but best I think, if you can access RBP, just to read some of his great old stuff; that there is not an anthology of his 'greatest hits' available is something of a travesty I reckon, but then Anthony himself, even in his last days, was cantankerously resistant to such retrospectivity. His funeral was low-key but it was great to see again some of the old mob, as the below photo shows. I love the video further below too, a 1977 story on RAM (also featuring Philip Mason, Soundtracks' publisher) from the ABC-TV afternoon kids' show Flashez. Another YouTube video that's notable beyond just Anthony's involvement is a 1973 episode of the ABC show Monday Conference, in which a panel of youth/rock experts quiz Frank Zappa, then on tour in Australia, and you can see that one, in full and in beautiful B&W, here. Go Goldilocks!

TRUE AUSTRALIANS IN THE AUSTRALIAN
Review of the new Buried Country LP from the Weekend Australian just published, it's got the bull by the horns on a few of its facts but that doesn't lessen its great positive attitude - doesn't mean I want it rescinded! - and thanks to Andrew P. Street for it:
... WHICH PROMPTS ME TO THINK...
That as part of the great general response to the BCLP, this review plus a few other things going on at the moment have given me pause to reflect. Certainly it's accentuating the loss of such projects as Banana Lounge and Deadly Woman Blues. Because...
At the same time the BCLP is getting this fantastic response, there is a discussion thread on the dreaded Facebook about Inner City Sound: FORTY YEARS after the event, it's still in print, still selling, still getting talked about, still having an impact…
TWENTY YEARS after the Buried Country juggernaut started out, it's the same, as the above review shows.
When I can push through with what I want to do the way I want to do it, the results seem to follow, have legs. So how come I otherwise meet so much resistance? Sorry if this is a bit of a whinge, but sometimes it rises to the surface to annoy me further, and if I don't reveal the invisible machinations I'm aware of that prevent the spread of the good shit, that deny it to fans, who else is going to?
TEN YEARS after the Banana Lounge project came close to completion before a short-sighted and maybe even resentful EMI executive cancelled it at the last minute, I was recently approached by a musician mate who'd heard it on a CD burn and thought it would be a good idea to get together a band and put it (the repertoire) on stage. Like a tribute show (which are all the rage these days), like the way Buried Country's gone up onto the stage. Because as I always felt, Banana Lounge was a reclamation important in its own way too. "Such a shame it didn't go ahead at the time," as another guy close to the proposal lamented, unable to see how his label could overcome the now-entrenched hurdles necessary to help bring it back from the dead. "It would have been a pretty defining historical overview of that era/style, and one that is still really yet to be made."
MERELY A YEAR after the cot-death of Deadly Woman Blues, of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, the loss strikes me as similar. As the above review says of Buried Country in its book form: "For most readers it was the first time they'd heard of such artists as Dougie Young, Isaac Yama or Vic Simms."
For Ray Ahn, as he said on Facebook, he 'worships' Inner City Sound; it was where he got introduced to so much great Australian underground music, and it inspired him to take up a guitar and launch a career that's itself now spanned over 30 legendary years. Deadly Woman Blues and Banana Lounge both dreamed of fulfilling that same sort of function, and their respective killings are a loss, I think, not just to me and to the underappreciated music and musicians they (tried to) shine a light on, but a loss too to music and music-lovers generally. I just hope that even if neither of those ever get resurrected, the several projects I am currently working on are given free rein to develop to fruition, let alone not get actively stymied. Jeezus! – whaddoo I have to do?
a.o.disco
If you don't believe me, this is what Jack Shit said in his Diary of Death on FBi: "Clinton Walker has a new feather in his cap. He's doing a crazy, old-people's disco – the A.O.Disco – at the Marrickville Bowlo: great sound system, great space, great room for dancing, you know, he's basically devised this himself and is taking it on wholesale, solo, he is a man with peerless taste and experience across all sorts of era and genres of music, so a rare opportunity in Sydney to hear actual variety in general and especially on a dance floor, get along there, Friday night, A.O.Disco, with DJ Clinton Walker, Marrickville Bowling Club, 730-11pm, the first of many hopefully…"
... and so to usher in a new year: The A.O.Disco is a new concept in Sydney's beleaguered nightlife, an evening of dance/music that's not all about young people on pingers peaking at 5am; not all about the beat-matched monotony of modern-day EDM.
The A.O.Disco – at Marrickville Bowlo on January 11, with just a nominal cover charge – is an old-skool space where nothing is under 40 and no BPM over 130; where DJ Big Daddy (aka Clint Walker) spins the deep disco and vintage soul, Latin, funk, fusion, Afrobeat, new wave and cheese and you will, to quote George McCrae, get lifted. Early start/finish, with a discount for Seniors Card-holders. Do the Hustle!

Home Comics Art By Its Cover (Week Of 05.21.14): Warm & Cool
By Its Cover (Week Of 05.21.14): Warm & Cool
Kate Willaert
One of the toughest things about picking covers each week is how many fantastic illustrations I have to leave out because the text laid over it just didn't serve it well. I make a point to only display covers here that have all their text elements, because that's just as important to the whole as the illustration, despite some publishers treating it as an afterthought.
What's equally tough is when a cover is when both the image and text are well composed, but I end up skipping over it because the choice of color. Color can enhance an image, but it can also flatten it.
For example, this recent cover for FABLES #140. Some of the things it does with color are really great . Notice how the image gets darker the further away you go from the center? This is an easy trick for focusing attention on a particular area of an image. It works because our eyes are attracted to light areas within dark areas, and you can see the technique used often in old oil paintings by the masters. It's also why eye liner brings out people's eyes.
Unfortunately, there are color choices that also hurt this cover. When I first looked at it, I thought the two dogs at the bottom were holes in the table. Even now that I realize they're dogs in the foreground, they still appear to recede into the background. How weird is that?
The reason for this has to do with color theory. Cool colors generally appear to go back, while warm colors come forward. The effect is most pronounced when vivid warm and cool colors are used side by side. This can be a useful tool when you want to create depth, but can also unintentionally flatten an image, or even reverse it.
Another recent example is UNCANNY AVENGERS ANNUAL #1. Group shots that contain a lot of characters can be a real challenge for colorists, because color plays a major role in determining where people focus, and in what order they focus on each element. If the viewer's eye doesn't have an entry point into the image, they'll move on to an image that does.
The colorist of this Art Adams piece wisely decided to use color to group the foreground, middleground, and background into three core areas. Unfortunately, the foreground was made a collection of cool colors against a vibrant red, flattening everything. It doesn't help that the deep background has also been coded in cool colors, making the background and foreground seem like they're on the same plane.
But not the only problem. When you first looked at the cover, do you remember what caught your eye first? For me, it was Ghost Rider. Then the logo, then Ghost Rider. Then that light to the left of Man-Thing…and then back to Ghost Rider.
Eventually I was able to drag my eyes downward to Mojo and the team, who in theory should be the real focus of the cover.
Here I tweaked things a little in Photoshop to try and get you to focus on the bottom half of the image. I tried to make the team as warm and vibrant as I could without recoloring it from scratch, and lightened Mojo's stomach a little so that the characters would break away from it. I also darkened the edges to lead you towards Mojo and the team, including making Ghost Rider's flames a little less intense. I colored the background red just so that it wouldn't be a potential distraction in an image where red is the dominant color.
It's by no means perfect, hopefully it gets you thinking. There are other ways to add depth using color, but I'm going to hold off until I have some good examples for each.
Now let's look at last week's covers:
DAREDEVIL #3
Both of these covers were so great, I couldn't decide which one to choose.
The top one by Chris Samnee and Javier Rodriguez is brilliant in the way it uses the statue's scale as Daredevil's eyes (with water dripping down from one). Though did the logo really need that slight transparency? I kinda wish it was just a stark, flat color.
The bottom one by Jerome Opena (and Rodriguez?) is a nice everyday moment made more dramatic by the silhouettes against the sky. The coloring could make or break this one, and the colorist really delivered.
WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN #4
Normally there isn't really anything special about an image of just two people standing, but the dramatic shadows really sell this one. Israel Silva also did a good job of creating a cover that's easily readable in thumbnail form when browsing a website (or an online store).
VELVET #5
Steve Epting also created an image that works really well at a small size, but that also has the eye-catching contrast of a violent image mixed with the softness of the word "Velvet."
7TH SWORD #2
Seeing a person's reflection in a sword as they walk away from it is already a pretty strong concept, but then it's mixed with a second explosive image that lines up with the first sword. Another home run for Andrew C. Robinson, though I still wish the logo was centered.
THE UNWRITTEN APOCALYPSE #5
What the hell am I looking at? Yuko Shimizu makes me a little nervous here. It's a great, strange, disturbing image, it's just unfortunate that it was given such poor logo placement. It looks like someone originally had it centered, and then accidentally bumped it.
And why does the ribbon overlap the logo? Overlapping the logo is typically done to create an illusion of depth, but no depth is created here. It just looks like the ribbon is holding the logo against the rabbit's leg. And why yellow? And why the cheesy outer glow/shadow instead of a thin solid outline?
SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN SEASON SIX #3
I like the horizontal bar at the top, and how it communicates a sense of speed in this little two-panel story painted by Alex Ross. But because the horizontal bar functions like a graphical element, I wish the logo were interacting with it more…somehow. Maybe a two line logo inside the bar? Or a two line logo under the bar?
MIND MGMT VOL. 3: THE HOME MAKER
Matt Kindt's out-of-place gun in a vintage magazine style illustration definitely got my attention, though I kind of wish it had an alternate MIND MGMT vintage magazine style logo to go with it. And what's with the cheesy outer glow/shadow again? Magazines back then didn't do that, so I'm not sure if it was meant to be purposely cheesy. I don't think it was needed.
BATMAN/DEATHBLOW: AFTER THE FIRE
This cover by Lee Bermejo is almost such a great concept. If you've never heard of Deathblow, you're probably wondering why the bat in the logo is shooting lasers at you. The two lines are actually supposed to represent Deathblow, whose trademark is the two vertical lines painted across his eyes. Except this doesn't really come across when the lines aren't actually vertical.
The other almost great idea here is having Batman and Deathblow in a similar pose, with Deathblow revealed in the two lines. Except I only realized they were meant to be in similar poses after noticing their legs, after looking at the cover for a few minutes. Having their upper bodies and heads in different poses kind of defeats the purpose.
Still, it would've been a fantastic cover if they'd been in the same pose, with a different image revealed inside of two parallel, vertical bars.
ZERO #8
I adore the concept of using camouflage to stick out on the shelf. Unfortunately, Muller & Coelho's design doesn't work for me because it instead camouflages an otherwise great design. I don't know if the final printed version looked better, but I find the digital representation of it to be nearly unreadable.
Maybe if a pattern had been used that had fewer dark splotches, so I could see the art more clearly? Or maybe if there was no art, and a darker pattern was used that would make the text easier to read.
The thing is, when I zoom in, I do love the design that's hidden in the camo. I love the outlined triangle reflecting the missing triangular section of these nice architectural shapes, and the shadows on the ground of mysterious figures approaching.
So when I came across the second image, I was like hold the phone!
I actually came across it while doing a search on Ebay to see if there were any photographs of how the first cover printed. A little digging revealed that the second cover was actually an earlier, discarded draft. Which really bums me out, because it's hands down my favorite cover of the week. Personal Taste Alert: I readily admit that part of the reason I like the second image so much is because it reminds me of '70s concept album slee–
Hold on, I just noticed the guy hiding in one of the arches over to the right. I never would've spotted that with the camo.
I don't know what to say. But I still look forward to seeing what they do next.

Lately, some of the most inventive covers have come from Daredevil.
The Daredevil cover #26, which spelled out "daredevil" on a clothesline, was utter brilliance.
chris 05/28/2014 8:33 am At 8:33 am
The Zero cover definitely say a lot that needs several glances to figure out.
I think the Elekta #2 cover by Mike del Mundo was out of this world good.
Jimmie Robinson 05/28/2014 12:34 pm At 12:34 pm
Kate, I hear what you're saying about the Batman / Deathblow cover, but in a way I actually like that the pose is not directly the same. It kind of speaks to the styles of the characters – that one is aggressive and the other more defensive.
It is a wonderful cover, because just the act of drawing that (speaking as an artist) means the concept has to be visualized in such a way that may not be clear until the art is completely finished. It's a gamble.
The same can be said of the Zero cover. How that pans out is a total gamble. It could go south real quick.
Tom Muller 05/29/2014 1:43 pm At 1:43 pm
Thanks for including ZERO #8 Kate. That early design was discarded because it didn't relate at all to the actual story — hence the new camo design. Yes, the design/type is much more legible in print or when you're reading the cover on a tablet, and the point of the whole camo concept is that, indeed, everything is slightly hidden and unclear (wouldn't be effective camo otherwise ;) ).
Kate Willaert 05/29/2014 1:48 pm At 1:48 pm
@Tom: Thanks for the comment. I can totally see how camo would fit better thematically…though part of my still wishes there was a place somewhere for the space-y concept album cover. ;-)
@JImmie: I hadn't considered the aggressive/defensive angle. That's an interesting idea, though I'm not sure how well it came across.

The New Order of Druids upholds the following nine ideals. These are not intended to be dogmatic "rules" but rather ideals to strive for.
1. Approach nature with reverance and respect.
We are part of nature and nature is part of us. We cannot be superior to nature, but should nurture it and be thankful for everything it provides us. This does not mean we are required to be vegetarian, or mow the grass, but avoid doing nature any unnecessary harm, and offer thanks to nature for what it offers you (see ideal 4).
2. Always uphold the truth.
The truth always prevails in the end, and is the only thing anything fundamental can really be built upon. We do not promote false facts, and expect others to be truthful in any information they provide as well.
3. Walk the way of balance.
Balance is a central aspect in the ways of the Druid. Nothing is pure evil, nor pure good. The balance between the two is delicate, and should not be disturbed, but rather preserved where possible.
4. Preserve the harmony upon your actions.
Extension of ideal 3. Balance your actions, rather than taking any radical actions, and avoid a one-sided view, but be open to other points of views. You alone are responsible for every single action you take in your life.
5. Always abide to the laws of nature.
6. Use wisdom in service to the universe, not to promote selfishness.
The wisdom gained while walking the Druid's path, is not intended to increase the power of oneself for personal advantage, or to use offensively toward anything or anyone else. With this wisdom comes the obligation of service, to use it in harmony with nature rather than dominating, and in the service of others.
7. Never profit from knowledge or the use of powers for the sole purpose of monitary riches.
Do not take financial advantage in passing on Druid knowledge and wisdom. Sometimes the transaction of money cannot be avoided, to be able to gain wisdom and knowledge, but it is not a tool to be used for the sole purpose of knowledge.
8. Respect all others, even if their opinions are different.
There are as many opinions on matters, as there are people walking this Earth. No two people are exactly the same, and rather than close ourselves off from opinions that are different from ours, we should be open to them and learn from them what we can.
9. Never break a sworn oath, lest you be forsworn.
An oath you make, binds you as an unwritten contract to your spirit and honour. If you take it, and break it, lightly, you will lose all credibility and trust of others.


It happened the way it should. Last week while browsing at a local independent bookstore, I happened on Green Earth by Kim Stanley Robinson. The book is the author's condensation of his near-future trilogy about climate change, science, and government into one updated novel. It's wonderful!
And oh, how grimly needed in light of the Trump administration's assault on science and the public's right to know what our agencies want to tell us. Scary times.
I just viewed a documentary about Rachel Carson. I had heard about her book, "Silent Spring", for years. She only lived to be 56, but accomplished the first push to discover the terrible effects of pesticides on the environment, especially fish, birds and the danger of cancer developing in humans. It's still on pbs.org for viewing.
I see the times we're in as a cleansing. It gets worse before it gets better in the form of, what Eckhart Tolle calls, "A New Earth", his third book about a spiritual change in consciousness. People will leave organized religion because they will have a direct experience of Spirit within themselves. I have practiced this for many years through Religious Science and Unity to open up to my higher self more fully. I never liked organized dogmatic religion and neither did my parents.


OpenOffice used to be the best free alternative to Microsoft's Office, but now it seems to be falling on hard times.
Development on the open-source productivity suite is down to just 16 people, according to a report last month by LWN.net, with 381 changesets over the last year. By comparison, LibreOffice (another open-source Office alternative) saw 22,134 changesets from 268 developers.
A recent draft report (via ExtremeTech) to the Apache Foundation board, which oversees the project, paints a bleaker picture: OpenOffice currently doesn't have a release manager, and is short on mentors that can help new volunteer developers get started. While OpenOffice's support channels remain active, the report admits that new development is practically non-existent.
The impact on you: If you're using OpenOffice today, it's not just going to disappear, but the lack of contributors and a release manager means that new versions are slow-going. The last OpenOffice release, version 4.1.1, came in August 2014, and there's no word on when 4.1.2. will arrive. LibreOffice, meanwhile, has seen one or two new releases every month over the last year, making it the obvious choice for users who want routine updates.
Now that the politics behind the split are history, perhaps it's fitting for the two open-source Office alternatives to merge back into one.
