Star Trek fans the world over recall the untimely death of Anton Yelchin, who famously portrayed the classic and original beloved Trek character, Pavel Chekov, who was the USS Enterprise's navigator, originally played by Walter Koenig.
The 27 year old Russian-born actor also appeared in over 50 films, some of which were critically acclaimed. However, in June of 2016, Yelchin was killed outside of his Los Angeles home, when his Chrysler Jeep Grand Cherokee, a Fiat brand, rolled downhill toward the actor, pinning him against a concrete mailbox.
In August of 2016, Yelchin's parents filed a lawsuit against Fiat Chrysler, alleging that the Jeep Grand Cherokee's gear changer was not only faulty, but also the accidental and deadly cause of the young and popular actor's death. This was seemingly supported by the world wide recall of 1.1 million Fiat vehicles in April of 2016 over similar issues, with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration actually confirming that the ongoing issue was a flaw in the company's automatic transmission and its gear shift mechanism.
It can now be reported that Yelchin's parents have indeed come to an agreed and undisclosed settlement with Fiat Chrysler over their son's death. Fiat has likewise expressed its support and appreciation over reaching a reasonable and mutual resolution in the case, while also releasing a statement in which it said, "We continue to extend our deepest sympathies to the Yelchin family for their tragic loss."
While the parties have not disclosed the amount of the settlement agreed to between both sides, Yelchin's family has indicated that the settlement will be spent in part on funding the Anton Yelchin Foundation, which helps young people in the arts, living and working with illness and disability, along with research into cystic fibrosis, a disease which Anton Yelchin was born with. Likewise, a portion of the settlement money will also go toward the funding of a documentary on the young and talented actor's life.
Anton Yelchin continues to be sorely missed by the Star Trek community and fan base, with SciFiPulse's deepest sympathies once again going out to the Yelchin family.

Every river we go to has a river bank and some can be more challenging than the river itself. River banks can be slippery and have loose rocks and other challenges. Not suprisingly most injuries in kayaking occur on the sides of the river when we are often at our most relaxed.
Take care when on the river banks whether your getting in and out of your boat, walking to and from the river, portaging a rapid, or setting up safety for other paddlers. Select safe places to launch your boat, wear good shoes and keep alert.
If you are having to climb and scout or portage a rapid take care and try to keep three points of contact when you are boulder and scrambling especially if you are carrying a boat.
Remember even if the rocks don't look wet they can be very slick and slippery from the river water and plant life.

Beavers and Tigers and Bears, Oh my!
This newsletter was prescribed to you by RxArt.
I love the work that you do. As a healthcare administrator in CO and a lover of contemporary art, the healing and joy brought from combining the two is unique.
Art plays a vital role in the healing process here at St. Mary's. Medically complex children who are exposed to the arts are able to free their imaginations from the constraints imposed by physical limitations. Our installation by renowned artist Rob Pruitt provides inspiration and cheer to our patients, their families and the entire staff at St. Mary's.
All of the services absolutely love the coloring books! You should sleep well knowing that you have made 1000 patients living in San Francisco much, much happier (and their doctors and nurses happier, too).
There's a lot about art that has to do with healing that hasn't been scientifically explored, but it's definitely helpful for children to be around art, especially when in a hospital situation. They feel more comfortable about being there. Also just thinking positively about everything, which is a part of healing and feeling better.

It's Not The Destination, It's The Journey: Ryan Carey Reviews Henry McCausland's EIGHT-LANE RUNAWAYS
Ryan Carey
eight-lane runaways, fantagraphics, henry mccausland
Life, they say, is not a sprint, but a marathon — and if you're lucky, the finish line is a long way off. But for British cartoonist Henry McCausland in his debut graphic novel Eight-Lane Runaways (Fantagraphics, 2020), that tried-and-mostly-true axion is turned ever-so-slightly on its head: the marathon is not only life itself but the reason for living, and how his ensemble cast of runners came to be on the racetrack itself is almost of no consequence. This where they live, this is what they do, in a very real sense this is who they are.
As such, their individual goals are both singular and varied: Natalie is looking to earn a self-awarded merit badge. Bobby is out to prove to everyone — and probably even himself — that he gained "super-running powers" when he fell into a bowl of blackberries as a kid. Freddo wants to feel what it's like to be a frog, to the point that he essentially self-identifies as one. Khoklakola is just following orders — that come her way courtesy of her magic poncho. And Oplo is looking for his lost cat with a complex and intricate system of strings. They all appear to fit generally into the "twenty-something" demographic, but beyond that, they couldn't be more different. If they want to see this race through, though, they're all going to need to learn how to run together rather than against each other.
The track they're running on appears to perhaps encompass the entire world, although that's debatable as one could just as easily make the assumption that it's ultimately circular in nature — but either way, there's nothing to indicate that everyone we meet might not be running forever. To that end, McCausland makes the rather bold choice of putting more emphasis on people, places, and things passed by than the runners themselves, who are rendered in fairly simple but agreeable terms, each afforded just enough by way of visual information to distinguish them from their counterparts but little else. In a very real sense, then, our attention is commanded more by the run than the runners, and if that doesn't give away a large portion of the cartoonist's central thesis, as reflected in the title of this review, then I don't know what will.
Taking it a step further (sorry), formal inventiveness is perhaps this project's hallmark feature: comparisons to the once-popular Where's Waldo? series of children's books are obvious, as McCausland utilizes panoramic double-page spreads, segmented into borderless "panels," to offer expansive views of the frequently-bizarre surroundings the runners find themselves moving through, and the end result is equal parts immersive and alienating. Immersive because we're drawn into the environments, alienating because the characters are reduced to transitory figures by design. It's not that this doesn't work, per se, please don't think that — it simply means that you need to approach this book on McCausland's own terms and that you might have a tough time getting much of anything out of if you don't or can't.
For my own part, I found the situations and groups they encounter to perhaps be more involving than the protagonists themselves for much of this book's 96 pages, particularly when they encounter a bunch of folks looking to fly a manned kite to the moon, but a rather sudden flood shuffles the deck considerably, and our characters find themselves separated and pursuing individual paths as well as goals after this seismic narrative shift. One needs to replace a missing arm. Two find themselves tempted, Eve-and-the-serpent-style, by a juice concoction made from every berry and fruit in existence. Still others decide to push forward toward "victory," whatever that even means. One even finds themselves in an alternate reality. Just when the book was running on fumes, then, McCausland finds that "second gear" you hear so many runners talking about. And he never breaks his stride from that point onward.
Ultimately, it's the relative strength or weakness of the bonds of friendship formed between these disparate people that will bring them back together or keep them separated, and while "family is where you find it" is every bit the cliche that "life is about the journey" is, the thing to remember about cliches is that they all become such for a reason, that being that they're true. And therein lies the quiet genius at the heart of Eight-Lane Runaways: McCausland — who went through something of a marathon of his own bringing this work to its present, completed form, having first self-published a couple of issues in black and white and riso-printed aquatic greens (ever the completist, I'm including sample images of the comic in each of its iterations with this review) — isn't out to re-invent the wheel here or anything of the sort, but rather to have us re-examine the tried and true in exciting and unfamiliar ways. "There is magic to be found in the everyday" is, I promise you, the last cliche I'll indulge in, but it's also the one this entire book is predicated upon, and it's the one that McCausland expresses with the most clarity and assuredness. Maybe there is no hard-and-fast "finish line" to the marathon that is human existence, but if we're joined by the right people, and we help each other navigate through its ever-shifting landscapes as a team, then when all is said and done we can all emerge as winners.

Rahab was a woman defined by her occupation. Rahab worked for cash, like we all do. The difference is that Rahab was a harlot. She knew how to handle men, she knew what they liked to hear, how they behaved, and what they wanted. According to rabbinical tradition, Rahab was one of the four most beautiful women in the ancient world. People still question how two righteous Israelite spies landed on HER doorstep. She took these men in and hid them, even though she was told to hand them over, and if she didn't, her own life would be taken. Rahab had a choice to make.
Dating advice from a young, unmarried, 19 year-old college student.
He's funny. He's smart. He says he is a Christian. He's attractive. He's popular. He likes you. You're practically in love with him. You begin dating him. He's sarcastic. He doesn't respect his parents. He's rude. He's cocky. He says things that are hurtful to your self-esteem. You see yourself going down a dark path while dating him. He believes you should change yourself for him. Your friends say that he is toxic for you. Your family begs you to be done with him. Deep down you know that they are all right. But, you think you love him. You think your life will be over without him, and he makes you think the same thing. You've lost your sense of purpose. You feel unimportant. You feel worthless. You're farther from God than ever. Yet you still stay with him. It is going to take a lot of strength and faith in God in order to get away from this type of relationship. You begin the process of what seems to be the hardest thing you have ever done in your life. You finally break away from him, and you are heartbroken. He seems to hate you and you want to take him back again and again. Finally, you are able to move on with your life and begin a healthier, happier lifestyle that you were unable to have while dating him. Your relationship with God has strengthened. You are loved by the King, and you deserve a love that makes you feel like a queen.
Gossip Girls or God's Girls?
For many years, women have been labeled as chatter boxes. It has been said, "God made man before He made woman because He wanted to have a little talk with him without interruption." Usually, women express themselves more often through words and are more verbal with their feelings than men. Someone once said that the average woman talks 50 percent more than her husband or significant other listens. Let's face it—women like to talk.
The Bible contains multiple examples of people whose tongues brought trouble for themselves or other people. Deceived by Satan's lie, Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden and sin came into the world. (Genesis 3). With a cunning lie, Jacob took the blessing that belonged to his brother, Esau. (Genesis 27). Ananias and Sapphira's lie about their gift of money to the church brought them sudden death. (Acts 5:1-11).


A while back, I was hired to do a four-session blackjack seminar for about 15 people. I knew that, as usual, my first hurdle would be to cure all the players/students of their false beliefs about the game.
Maybe twenty minutes into the first night, I was fervently preaching how most players bet their money according to all the wrong criteria. A woman raised her hand, stood up and asked, "Then, when are you supposed to raise your bet - after you win a few - or after you lose a few?"
I explained that sizing your next bet has nothing to do with whether you've been winning or losing, and that betting that way will just lead you down the golden path to oblivion. Within less than three minutes, that woman and the man she came in with stood up and left.
I guess that wasn't what they wanted to hear, but it was the grim truth. The fact is, most people play such a shallow game of blackjack that using some lame betting system is all they know how to do – and it's absolutely no help! Yet it becomes the very crux of their game plan. If you try to convince them it's a hopeless strategy, they'll only resent you for it.
So how about you? Do you play some betting strategy that's based upon whether you've won or lost the last hand, or two, or three? Let me say to you, and you can write this down: As long as that's what you're fixated on, you're dead meat!
I'll put it to you this way. When you first sit down at the table, your chance to win the next hand is, in fact, just about 43.5%. If you win that hand, and the second one, and the third one, do you know what your chance to win the fourth hand is? It's still right around 43.5%. If you lost your first three hands, it's the same story.
Now with that being true, what good can it possibly do to raise or lower your next bet based upon the last result? You're just going to end up winning 43.5% of each different bet size. Yeah, yeah, I know people who say if they win two units on a hand and put one unit aside, then lose the next hand – they're still one unit ahead. But if they lose that two-unit hand, there'll be nothing to put aside. And they'll lose it more often than they'll win it.
To understand a betting system, you need to run through every potential sequence of wins and losses, then look at the cumulative results. And guess what? There isn't a one that'll produce a net profit when you're going to end up losing more hands than you'll win. Yet, blackjack is positively a beatable game.
If you're going to have a long-term chance at blackjack, you need to rid yourself of that fixation on "money management" bet sizing that most players have. Next, you'll have to shake the obstinate belief that somebody else's bad play will hurt your results. Only if you can get past those two stubborn obstacles, will you be ready to absorb some things that can actually turn you into a genuine winner.
So wipe the slate clean, have no preconceived notions about how to play blackjack other than playing your hands correctly, and then learn the real reason for when to raise or lower your bets. It has nothing to do with whether you've been winning or losing, or if there are good players or bad players at the table. It only has to do with what cards are in the shoe.
Today, there are some pretty easy ways to follow the cards that have been played, and to use that information to gain the advantage. But you'll need discipline, fortitude and a pretty fair amount of backup loot to ride out the violent swings of Lady Luck.

Man who made 19 hoax calls to HM Coastguard is sentenced
Leon Marandola's hoax calls led to HM Coastguard deploying helicopters, coastguard rescue officers and RNLI lifeboats at cost of £170,000

Leon Marandola has been sentenced in Scotland after making false and malicious calls to HM Coastguard.
The 20-year-old, who in May 2019 had joined the Buckie RNLI team as a volunteer, has been ordered to carry out 240 hours of unpaid work and given a two-year supervision order.
A restriction of liberty order has also been imposed.
Marandola pleaded guilty to making 19 hoax calls during an earlier hearing at Elgin Sheriff Court.
The hoax calls were made during a two-month period between 17 June and 25 August 2019.
They led to HM Coastguard sending out helicopters, coastguard rescue officers and RNLI lifeboats to save lives when in fact no one was in any danger.
The cost of these call outs has been estimated to be in the region of £170,000.

HM Coastguard said this figure didn't account for the wages of volunteers that may have been lost due to call outs, the HM Coastguard operations room costs or the costs to any merchant or industrial ships that may have been diverted by HM Coastguard to assist in the searches.
Commenting on the case, Coastal Operations Area Commander for HM Coastguard, Ross Greenhill said: 'Hoax calls are taken extremely seriously as they tie up vital life-saving resources and risk taking them away from those who are actually in grave danger which could have serious consequences.
'As in this case, we will always work with the relevant authorities to fully investigate and seek a prosecution if we suspect hoax calls are being made.
'This case stands out because the offender is someone who wanted to work alongside emergency services to help people and prevent loss of life at sea. Each time he made a false report, he put the safety of his fellow volunteers at the RNLI and HM Coastguard at risk and let down his local community.
'We hope the sentencing today makes others think twice before making false calls to any of the emergency services. Putting the lives of members of the public and of emergency services colleagues at risk will never be tolerated,' he added.

It looks at first like a piece of a rough, greenish mat from a 1970s student flat. In fact it is a 5,000-year-old bag, a very rare survival in Ireland's Neolithic archaeological record of an object of organic material. It was found in a bog in Twyford, Co. Westmeath, and was made by coiling long slivers of wood into spirals that were then bound together with lighter grass-like material. Next, the two sides were woven together along a seam, and handles of plaited straw were added. This would have made for a circular, purse-like bag, about 40cm in diameter, with a narrow opening at the top. It was probably dyed to give it a splash of colour. It offers a glimpse into the everyday life of early Irish farmers. Though we cannot know for sure, there is every chance that it was made and used by a woman.
Similar bags have been found around the world: the technique goes back to the Middle East around 4800 BC and is still used by indige- nous cultures. In fact, the best way to get a sense of the Twyford bag is to look at a very similar but intact specimen from nineteenth-century Aboriginal Australia that is also in the National Museum of Ireland. The Twyford bag takes us back into the day-to-day world of Irish people in the fourth millennium BC. Most of what survives from this era is made of hard stone and tends to be associated with ritual, death and power; has the drama of violence and mystery; and is overwhelmingly male. To look at a simple bag that might have been purchased at an ethnic market in a modern city and imagine it in the hands of a Neolithic woman gathering plants or nuts is to be reminded that life, then as now, was dominated by ordinary things and tasks.
What do we know of those ordinary lives? They were short by our standards: most people could not expect to live beyond their 30s. People were probably about the same height as Irish people were in the 1930s: the Neolithic male skeletons found at Annagh in Co. Limerick were about 170cm (5ft 7in) tall. Again from the Annagh skeletons we know they worked hard, but not quite as hard as their counterparts in mediaeval Ireland. They probably wore clothes of leather and woven textiles, such as flax.
We know, too, that they increasingly lived together in relatively substantial settlements of wooden houses, lined with wattle and daub and with thatched roofs. Communities were settling down for the long haul. By the time this bag was made its owner probably lived in a society that had a sense of itself as being old.


Nyantika Joshua Mokua, a second year student at the School of Physical Sciences has made it to the final 120 in the race for the World Merit's Ambassador. Nyantika beat over 60,000 other applicants to make it to the second round of the tightly contested opportunity.
World Merit is a global platform that recognizes the efforts of young people between the ages of 18 and 30, and seeks to reward them. This is achieved by requesting them to share their ideas, dreams and visions on an online platform. Through this, young people are exposed to opportunities which expose them to funding opportunities and exposure to the world. The areas of interest are entrepreneurship, culture, politics, media, science and technology and business leadership.
Out of the 120, only 12 contestants will make it to the finals which will be held in Liverpool, UK in November 2013.
The University congratulates Nyantika on this achievement and wishes him well.

Contact Distribution Names New Western & Eastern Regional Sales Managers
Michael Raine Mar 15, 2017 0 Comments
[![Harry Boyce](/content/images/2017/03/Harry-Boyce-225x300.jpg)](/content/images/2017/03/Harry-Boyce.jpg)Harry Boyce
Contact Distribution has announced the re-appointment of Harry Boyce as western regional manager for the four western provinces, as well as the appointment of Marc Bureau as their eastern regional sales manager. Bureau's territory encompasses all areas for the eastern region of Quebec and the Maritimes, including Ontario east of Smith Falls, which includes Ottawa.
Bill Coons, director of Contact Distribution, says of Boyce's appointment, "It's great to have Harry back on board our team and rejoining our family that all know him so well. Harry's previous tenure with Contact established him as possibly the most successful western sales representatives we've ever had. His depth of knowledge of all things audio is rare to find as is his appreciation for every aspect of the professional audio industry relative to our customers' business models and how to best service them. Our manufacturers know him from not only his past time with us, but also as a supportive contractor and as a consultant during the past number of years. It's very gratifying that he sees the opportunities Contact affords the territory and wants to be the one to take these to the marketplace. "
Boyce adds, "The integrity of the brands is critical and I've come to love and trust these guys and their products. I've come to know what their commitment to excellence is and it's important that we're both adamant about doing the best that can be done. I'm, looking forward to reestablishing some old relationships as well and additionally getting to be of service to a whole new group of acquaintances that are as passionate about audio as I am."

The Farr Side: Might-see TV:?Is there time for new shows?
All summer long, TV networks have been teasing us about new shows. You might recall the seeing glimpses of "The Event" during just about everything NBC ran this summer. I'm sort of interested to see "The Event," but I'm afraid it's going to have the same effect as "Lost." "Lost" captivated me from the beginning with an incredible cast and well-thought storylines, up until the end. I guess you could say the show lived up to its title, considering I felt just as lost when the series concluded in May as I did when it began six seasons ago.
I'm ready for the new fall TV lineup. I'm ready to get excited about some new TV programs again.

"Event" previews are similar. I hope the show doesn't string viewers along before we find out what "the event" is.
As for other dramas networks hope take hold, you have "Undercovers" (NBC), "Chase" (NBC), "Outlaw" (NBC), "Blue Bloods" (CBS), "The Defenders" (CBS), "Hawaii 5-0" (CBS), "Lone Star" (Fox), "Detroit 1-8-7" (ABC), "The Whole Truth" (ABC), "Boardwalk Empire" (HBO), and whatever other cities the "CSI" and "Law & Order" empires haven't covered yet.
From what I can tell, these look promising. But will I watch? It depends on how late I want to stay up, and what else is on at the same time. At least there's not another new medical drama. I'm not too fond of all the cop-like shows and courtroom dramas that already monopolize the TV, so that doesn't help me there.
It'll be interesting to see how "Hawaii 5-0" fares, considering remakes rarely do as well as the originals.
I'm going to have this channel-surfing thing down to a science by the time sweeps week hits. That, or I'll get so screwed up that I'll be talking about "Gleeds," "Mad Brothers & Sisters," "How I Met Your Rock," "Survivor: Cougar Town" or "Big Bang Practice" at the watercooler.

While taking business classes in 2009, T'Nora met Josh at Old Dominion University. And as their engagement film by Intellect Media beautifully tells, it was a wonderful "how we met" college sweethearts kind of story.
Captured by Dreama of Dreamalittle Photography, this stylish couple wanted to venture around the different areas of Norfolk as it was such an important place in their relationship. There's no doubt that T'Nora has found her to-be... the stolen looks, the hand tucking her hair, the arm around her waist. You can tell Josh is just as crazy for her as she for him. Their wedding later this year is sure to be a sweet one!


Who Makes Your Bagging Machines?
One of the biggest trends today in consumer products is customized packaging. With so many incredible products hitting the shelves, there is a growing need to have innovative packaging solutions. You need just the right look and just the right materials. But, not all bagging machines are the same, and many may not provide you with the versatility you need. However, instead of just looking for a machine to help you, why not focus on the actual company behind it?
As a food company, your packaging is an extremely important part of your product. You rely on your packaging to keep your food fresh and safe. It is also part of your marketing effort, and integral to easy distribution.
In a world that relies so much upon packaging and shipping all kinds of items for dozens of reasons, it is hard to imagine what it would be like without having a variety of packaging options ready at our disposal. It is certain that we rely on packaging more than you might realize and if we suddenly didn't have it any more, the way the world runs would be severely hampered and many businesses would find themselves crippled. With the large selection of packaging options available, however, you are sure to find a box or carton that is exactly right for your products. Recently, people have begun to realize just how beneficial and reliable chipboard boxes are.
Many small food companies dismiss the idea of automating their processes, believing the option is just too expensive for a business of their size. You might be surprised to learn that automated packaging equipment is a great option for businesses of many different sizes, and that your business will actually save money in the long run by choosing an automated option. Here are three areas where you'll save money by automating your packaging.

This is a postcard of the S. M. S. Grille. She was considered an aviso (dispatch-boat) that was French built in 1857. She was used as a royal yacht in the 1860's. She even saw action against the French in the 1870/71 Franco-Prussian War. She was originally built as a three masted schooner with steam power as well. Later she was modernized and one of her three masts was removed. She was used in a number of roles, although none were active during WW I. When she was dismantled during 1920 in Hamburg, she was the German Navy's oldest ship. The postcard shows the Grille in profile at anchor. It depicts her in a later incarnation with one of her masts removed. The postcard has never been used.

Stickied What are you currently watching?
Thread starter Saddlerrad

Just finished Suits for the summer break, it's actually turning into one of my favourite shows. It's almost time for the American 'fall' which is when Revenge, Gold Rush, Homeland and The Mentalist all return. Shows I watch each week.
What has everybody else been watching?
TomWolvesFC
Suits as well definitely! Can't wait for that to return later this year! I have just finished Prison Break and that is an absolutely amazing series, I'd definitely recommend it!
Yep, Prison Break is one of my absolute favourites. Have you seen 24 Tom? What about Breaking Bad? The Mentalist?
I've started 24 but I'm guessing it's going to take so long to get into considering the amount of episodes! I have seen Breaking Bad, one of my all time favourites, not seen The Mentalist but I also love The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones!
Not a big fan of either of the latter to be honest. I may get round to watching GOT at some point. Stick with 24! It's seriously very good, how far did you get?
I've literally only just started! Need to watch Episode 2! I will stick at it, so expect me to be chatting to you about the latest series in around 6 years, haha!
Haha, just go for it mate especially with international break this weekend you should be able to fire it through.
@Marsha1051
I'm just watching the Suspicions of Mr Whicher which has just started on ITV. I'm only watching it because Paddy Considine is in it. Will see how it goes.
Got any further with 24 Tom? It's nearly time for a few of my programmes to come back alive. In the meantime though, I've been watching Masterchef Australia. As rare as that sounds, it's much better than the UK version and it's on at 6.30pm each day on Watch. I'd advise any food lover or Masterchef lover to give it a go.
So then, a few programmes beginning in the next few weeks.
Homeland returns, Revenge and Gold Rush return. That's 3 programmes for me. Masterchef Australia (Far superior to the UK version) is almost upon us. Another series of Geordie shore (not sure why I bother, it's trash) in late October. Next week I've seen a couple of programmes advertised 'Legend' with Sean Penn in, made by the producers of 24 and Homeland. May give that a watch. Plenty of TV too watch in the coming weeks.
I've just started watching Homeland again so I can get back into it before series four kicks in. I also want to watch the Sopranos again but I know it's going to ruin my social life if I get into it... the best TV show I've ever seen.
I'm tempted to watch Homeland again before it starts but it will take a couple of weeks and I'm not sure I can be bothered. Loads of TV coming back soon!
Since my last post on this thread I have watched all four seasons of Homeland, what a series that is! Anyone else watched it?

I've watched a bit of it and it looks 'off', as I argued it would, way back when. Shots full of dead space, leaking into undressed backgrounds, compositions bodged. Just like watching something in an incorrect open matte.

Back watching Still Game; its one of these series I return to every few years. Could be a possibility of a seventh series this year, hope it comes to pass after the success of their reunion at the Hydro in Glasgow.

I'm currently watching Agent Carter, Constantine, Gotham and Lost. Waiting on the return of Agents Of SHIELD, Arrow/Flash, The Walking Dead and Game Of Thrones later in the year.
All are great at the moment , except Gotham which I've covered in another thread.
Lost is better than I was led to believe though now I've hit Season 5, I feel I have noticed a marked dip in quality. I know people say it went shitty, is that the point I've hit?
Leewilson

Charged through the opening 3 seasons of Game of Thrones over Christmas. Waiting for the 4th to come out on DVD.
Currently watching season 2 of Under the Dome which has surprised me at being fairly decent so far, if not ridiculous.
As usual, will watch The Walking Dead when it comes back on and still have the second half of season 6 of The Mentalist to get through before getting through the final season.
Saddlerrad said:
I never thought I'd watch Game of Thrones. I have little to no interest in the fantasy genre. We're very similar in our TV show tastes. However, my brother got the boxsets for Christmas and I sat down and watched a few with him and they're very good. I then nicked it for myself to watch in bed at night and they're absolute class. The reason I like them is because of the focus on character. The fantasy element is just an addition for me. Some of the characters are immense. Plus nobody is safe which keeps you on edge the whole time.

I'm re-watching Blue Mountain State. No wonder it's developed such a cult following since the show was cancelled two years ago.
I've got 5 seasons of The Walking Dead on my external hard drive but I've only watched the first episode. Really enjoyed it and with two weeks off work that gives me ample time to watch several episodes.

Waiting for Arrow, Flash and Supernatural to return.
Started to re-watch my X Files boxset too. Bloomin' love that show.

Nat King Cole's Daughters Celebrate the Legend's 100th
Nat King Cole's Daughters Celebrate the Music Legend's 100th Birthday: 'He Touched the Soul'
With the death of their sister Natalie Cole on New Year's Eve 2015, twins Timolin and Casey Cole, 57, have inherited the responsibility of carrying on the legacy of their father Nat King Cole, the legendary jazz singer and pianist.
"We assume the authority of honoring and preserving our father and the rest of the Cole family legacy," Timolin told PEOPLE Sunday at The Breakers Palm Beach during a Nat King Cole Generation Hope event to celebrate what would have been their father's 100th birthday on March 17.
"We know mom and dad and our siblings are cheering us on. They are the angels guiding and encouraging us to continue expanding access to quality music by helping school children with the greatest need and fewest resources."
Nat's brother Freddy Cole, 87, who was nominated for a Grammy Award earlier this year for best jazz vocal album, entertained guests with his lyrical storytelling and his musical trio.
Nat, who died in 1965 of lung cancer at age 45, was one of the most popular and talented recording and concert artists in American history.
Timolin and Casey, who live in Boca Raton, Florida, spread their father's legacy by funding musical instrument instruction, music composition and songwriting as well as technical expertise in the recording arts. Donations to Generation Hope have exceeded $1.5 million and have helped more than 34,000 children around the country.
"Our dad was a kind and generous man who people called the 'gentle giant,'" says Timolin of the superstar, who turned out nearly 700 hits for Capitol Records.
"We are so proud that he touched the soul with his voice and was a quiet leader in the arts. He always said, 'I may be able to bring harmony among people with my music.' We want to continue that dream in a time when we really need it."
The twins just returned from Los Angeles where Lights Out: Nat King Cole, an avant garde, bio-musical set during the filming of the final television episode of The Nat King Cole Show, is being performed at The Geffen Playhouse Theater.
The musical, starring Dulé Hill and cowritten by Colman Domingo and Patricia McGregor, illustrates the racism that took place off camera and the turmoil that Cole endured as the first African-American host of a TV variety show.
"Casey and I were mesmerized watching Lights Out," says Timolin. "It captures the essence of our dad, a side that most people have not seen before. They will observe the inner conflict and anguish that he suffered in the culture of that time."
The twins know that their family's talents need to be shared with new generations so they can enjoy the music that millions have loved and respected over the years.
"The music, spirit and the way our father and Natalie made people feel when they listened to them sing will be alive forever," Casey tells PEOPLE. "Our family history is one of musical excellence and charitable giving. We are making sure that legacy lives on."

Maharashtra cop attacked by corporator's sons
Ten days after a policeman was beaten up by several Maharashtra legislators in the state assembly complex, another policeman was attacked by the sons of a former corporator in Dhule, police said in Dhule today.
mumbai Updated: Mar 27, 2013 18:28 IST
Ten days after a policeman was beaten up by several Maharashtra legislators in the state assembly complex, another policeman was attacked by the sons of a former corporator in Dhule, police said in Dhule on Wednesday.
The victim, Assistant Police Inspector Dhananjay Patil, responded to a call about a fight between two groups during Holi celebrations Tuesday night.
"He (Patil) went there in response to the call and tried to control the situation. The culprits - Devendra and Bhushan - are sons of former Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) corporator Chandrakant Sonar. One of them attacked Patil from behind with a sword," an official from Dhule's Azad Nagar Police Station told IANS.
Patil is attached with the Azad Nagar Police Station. Patil was injured in the sword attack and was admitted to hospital. "Patil is in the ICU. His condition is stable," the official added.
The two brothers have been charged with attempt to murder. Both are absconding. Dhule is 325 km from Mumbai.
This is the second attack on a policeman in the state within 10 days. Assistant Police Inspector with Mumbai Police Sachin Suryawanshi was attacked by several legislators in the Maharashtra Vidhan Bhavan premises March 19.
Five legislators were suspended and two surrendered, following which they were released on bail Monday.

What to Expect From Aqua America, Inc. in 2018
Completing acquisitions isn't the only reason things may flow in the right direction for this water utility in the coming year.
Scott Levine
(TMFProudMonkey)
Feb 5, 2018 at 9:50AM
A member of The Motley Fool since 2006, Scott began contributing content in 2013. His focus includes renewable energy, gold, and water utilities. Follow him on Twitter. . . Follow @scott81236
While Aqua America (NYSE:WTR) ended 2017 with the wind at its back -- the stock rose 31% through the year -- the start of the new year has been less kind. Shares fell more than 9% through January, during which time the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) rose nearly 6%.
This inauspicious start to 2018, however, should by no means suggest to shareholders that now's a good time to consider jumping ship. After all, experienced investors know that short-term stock movements, either up or down, are par for the course and don't necessarily reflect a change in the company's fundamentals. So let's jump in and take a look at what investors are likely to see from Aqua America in the year ahead.
A key component of Aqua America's growth strategy is the acquisition of municipal water and wastewater systems. Speaking to the company's success in this endeavor on the Q3 conference call, management noted that "when you consider the acquisitions we have either closed or plan to close between the beginning of last year 2016 and the end of 2018, the three-year period, we're going to average about $50 million a year in additional rate base associated with our growth." This represents a significant increase over the company's prior history of about $14 million per year excluding major transactions.
At the end of 2016, management had guided for customer growth between 1.5% and 2% in 2017. But in a late-December press release, the company indicated that the company would fall short of these expectations because of delays in the closings of two acquisitions. Management, nonetheless, expects the two delayed acquisitions -- which are under agreement and approved by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission -- to close in the coming year.
Aqua America, in total, plans to close on six transactions in 2018. Valued at about $150 million, these acquisitions are expected to net the company about 15,700 new customers. And in consideration of how important acquisitions are to Aqua America's growth, investors are likely to see announcements of additional purchase agreements in the coming year.
Diving into dividends
One of the things that most attracts investors to water utility stocks is the dividend. And demonstrating a strong commitment to returning cash to shareholders, Aqua America has paid a consecutive quarterly dividend for more than 70 years. Declaring a quarterly cash dividend of $0.2047 in Q3 2017, Aqua America raised its dividend about 7% over the $0.1913 it had paid out in each of the first two quarters of the year.
The company's decision to raise the dividend didn't surprise those familiar with the company, for it was the 27th time that the company had raised the payout in the past 26 years. Moreover, the increased amount -- 7% -- that management decided to return to shareholders didn't come as much of a surprise, either.
Aqua America has raised its dividend at a compound annual growth rate of 7.07% from 2007 through 2017.
In consideration of the company's track record, investors can expect Aqua America to raise its dividend in the coming year. If forced to speculate, I'd say the company would announce a dividend raise of approximately 7% -- to approximately $0.2190 per share -- sometime next summer.
Spreading its water wings
Whereas the company's regulated operations are its bread and butter, Aqua America formed a joint venture in 2012 to provide fresh water to natural gas producers drilling in the Marcellus Shale in north-central Pennsylvania. The endeavor has hardly provided a gushing revenue stream. In fiscal 2016, for example, the joint venture accounted for $976,000 in earnings. For context, Aqua America reported net income of $234 million that year.
According to management's commentary on the company's Q3 conference call, however, the joint venture is poised to see increased action. In response to an analyst's question, Dan Schuller, an executive vice president, noted that the company picked up two customers in the third quarter, and it's "starting to see some activity there, and we're in conversations for more activity in 2018 and then into 2019 [and] so had a nice change there in terms of volumes."
Investor takeaway
Although Aqua America has faced some rough seas in the opening days of 2018, there's reason to believe that the company has the fortitude to weather the storm and prosper. Investors can monitor the company's success by confirming that it closes on both the delayed acquisitions and the ones not subject to delays. Though the increased joint-venture activity is noteworthy, in the long run, acquisitions represent a greater path to growth.

Ex-Trump lawyer Cohen providing info in Mueller probe
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer said Thursday he is providing "critical information" as part special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election and possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign.
Michael Cohen, who pleaded guilty to campaign finance and other charges last month, said he is providing the information to prosecutors without a cooperation agreement.
Trump's longtime fixer-turned-foe could be a vital witness for prosecutors as they investigate whether Trump's campaign coordinated with Russians. For more than a decade, Cohen was Trump's personal lawyer, and he was a key power player in the Trump Organization and a fixture in Trump's political life.
Cohen pleaded guilty in August to eight federal charges and said Trump directed him to arrange payments before the 2016 election to buy the silence of porn actress Stormy Daniels and a former Playboy model who had both alleged they had affairs with Trump. It was the first time any Trump associate implicated Trump himself in a crime, though whether — or when — a president can be prosecuted remains a matter of legal dispute.
On Thursday night, Cohen tweeted: "Good for @MichaelCohen212 for providing critical information to the #MuellerInvestigation without a cooperation agreement. No one should question his integrity, veracity or loyalty to his family and country over @POTUS @realDonaldTrump."
The tweet was deleted almost immediately and was later reposted by his attorney, Lanny Davis, who said he wrote the tweet for Cohen and asked him to tweet it because he has a "much larger following." Davis said he was delayed posting the tweet on his own account, so Cohen tweeted it first.
ABC News reported earlier Thursday that Cohen has met several times — for several hours — with investigators from the special counsel's office.
The television network, citing sources familiar with the matter, said he was questioned about Trump's dealings with Russia, including whether members of the Trump campaign worked with Russians to try to influence the outcome of the election.
Davis had asserted last month that his client could tell the special counsel that Trump had prior knowledge of a June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower with a Russian lawyer, Trump's son-in-law and Trump's eldest son, who had been told in emails that it was part of a Russian government effort to help his father's campaign. But Davis later walked back the assertions, saying he could not independently confirm the claims that Cohen witnessed Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., telling his father about the Trump Tower meeting beforehand.
In the last two weeks, the special counsel secured the cooperation of Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort; signaled that he has obtained all the information he needs from former national security adviser Michael Flynn — who was also a government cooperator; and dispensed with the case of the campaign aide who triggered the Russia probe.
The president has continued a very public battle against the Mueller investigation, repeatedly calling it a politically motivated and "rigged witch hunt." He has said he is going to declassify secret documents in the Russia investigation, an extraordinary move that he says will show that the investigation was tainted from the start by bias in the Justice Department and FBI.

99-Year-Old Woman Wows Jury in 'France Has Incredible Talent', Don't Miss Episode 4
Tuesday evening, the M6 channel broadcast the third episode of season 17 of "France has an incredible talent". An evening punctuated by performances as crazy as each other. See you Tuesday, November 8 to discover the rest of the adventure.
While All Saints' Day took place on Tuesday November 1, M6 broadcast the third episode of ' France has an unbelievable talent '. And the least we can say is that some candidates have shown that they have their place on the show. Discover our three favorites of the evening above.
A juggler makes the jurors happy
Armed with his contagious good humor, Hayford Okine took over the stage to offer a breathtaking juggling act. One thing is certain: the young man excels in this difficult exercise. Throughout his performance, the latter threw and caught objects with disconcerting precision.
Photo credit: M6
The juggler did not hesitate to seek the help of Marianne James to close his performance, impressing the jurors in passing: " But what happiness! But what joy! (…) I can't stop smiling ", indicated the magician Éric Antoine. With four yeses, Hayford Okine wins his ticket to the semi-finals.
99-year-old grandmother impresses the jury
The prize for the most extraordinary performance goes to Charlotte Chopin. From the height of her 99 years, the candidate delivered a real lesson in flexibility to the public. The one who will celebrate her 100th birthday next December has chained yoga postures under the dumbfounded gaze of the jury.
It must be said that the nonagenarian has a stunning elasticity. Without real surprise, the adorable grandmother managed to conquer the hearts of the jurors, including the singer Hélène Ségara: " It's a great life lesson. You are full of serenity (…) It is an incredible lesson ».
An amateur singer wins the Golden Buzzer
For his part, Alexis, bodybuilder painter in the automobile, caused a whirlwind of emotions on the set. The one who has been singing for a year and a half in secret performed a magnificent cover of "You Raise Me Up" by singer Josh Groban. His successful interpretation, his powerful voice and his endearing shyness allowed him to receive the famous Golden Buzzer from the presenter Karine Le Marchand. Consequently, the father of the family is propelled directly into the final!
Next week, the new candidates will give spectators and jurors chills, with never-before-seen numbers. The fourth episode of France has an unbelievable talent will air on Tuesday, November 8, starting at 9:10 p.m.

BOTTOM LINE: A light, fun magic show that challenges how we make our choices.
Illusion of Choice is a different kind of magic show. In the hour I spent with him, the magician never made anything appear or disappear. There was no hypnosis and no death-defying finale. Instead, he just made suggestions—yes or no, left or right, red or blue—and let the cards fall where they may. Then he would show me that he knew all along the choice I would make, and make me wonder if I really chose at all. It's a chilling journey of mental manipulation: the two performers somehow show everything, and still leave you wondering what exactly just happened.
Kardenni, the brain-wizard in question (Dennis Friebe) is a somewhat charming, mostly awkward host who capitalizes on his ability to massage an uncomfortable silence. Even when the illusions aren't the most impressive, he is always entertaining to watch, suppressing the excitement of each successful gambit with almost childlike glee. His demeanor is infectious and really helps to smooth out the low points of the show, of which there were a few. Sometimes it's clear that the crux of a certain trick hinges on vague wordplay and unclear instructions. For example, Kardenni will ask an audience member to choose between binary options onstage, but then doesn't describe what each outcome will entail, so he can manipulate the answer to mean whatever he wants it to. These moments don't make up the entire show, however, and there were plenty of others that I'm still racking my brain over.
The "magic show" portion of the evening is punctuated by little bubbles in time and space where Bunny '"the multidimensional being" (Lindsi Jeter) dances around the stage, futzing with Kardenni's frozen-in-time body and playing with audience members. Without ruining the ending, the story between Bunny and Kardenni is a cute parallel to the ideas they are trying to instill in their audience. While her portions of the act are amusing, they sometimes feels like filler to pad the run time; they're a little too long, without much content.
While not a traditional play, Illusion of Choice is still a fun and intriguing night of theatre. The piece has an interesting take on fate and decision-making, and the performers are a joy to watch. The overall production has some rough edges in its execution, but the concept is entertaining enough. If you're looking for a plot-heavy story or a grand spectacle, this is not going to be the magic show for you, but if you want a light, fun, thought-provoking evening, you'll have a great time.
Illusion of Choice: A Magical Experience with Kardenni is by Dennis Friebe and Antwan Towner. Directed by David Meneses. Choreography by Isis Masoud. Music is by Halsey, Mike Newport, Leroy Bocchieri, Owen Phillips, Hal Goldstein, Parov Stelar, Kevin McLeod, Dennis Friebe, and Kiew Nikon.
The cast is Dennis Friebe and Lindsi Jeter.

Competition formatEdit
Like all Olympic boxing events, the competition was a straight single-elimination tournament.[1] This event consisted of 28 boxers who have qualified for the competition through various qualifying tournaments held in 1999 and 2000. The competition began with a preliminary round on 19 September, where the number of competitors was reduced to 16, and concluded with the final on 1 October. As there were fewer than 32 boxers in the competition, a number of boxers received a bye through the preliminary round. Both semi-final losers were awarded bronze medals.
All bouts consisted of four rounds of two minutes each, with one-minute breaks between rounds.[1] Punches scored only if the white area on the front of the glove made full contact with the front of the head or torso of the opponent. Five judges scored each bout; three of the judges had to signal a scoring punch within one second for the punch to score. The winner of the bout was the boxer who scored the most valid punches by the end of the bout.

This is excellent news! This must mean that the Event is quite close.
The energy on the 3rd was amazing. It was so easy for me to tune in and I could feel the energy of all the people meditating around the world. Victory of the Light!
WOOHOO!! Thank You Cobra and friends!!!
Oh, this is very good!
Let it be soon everywhere!
And in my country too!
An operation very well prepared and with many positive energies. I also feel these new energies in circulation. Now it is easier to implement any plan against the forces of darkness. However, instead of continuing to rage against these brethren, please send positive energy and veils fall easily. This is what is happening until the process is completed.
The overall victory of Light and Love is very close.
The people seemed happy. Not full of hate like other revolutions. It's a wonderful thing.
Hi, my brothers and sisters of light!
Please, let's NOT call our opponents "the archons" anymore! This gives them power! From now on, let's call the them "the fallen".
This "small" detail, will make ALL the difference!! Our words are much more powerfull than we think!
Spread this information too, brothers and sisters!
Cobra, my friend! This is for you also, ok?
Victory of the light is near!!!!
When you say we can't call them that "anymore" and say they are the "Fallen" you're basically saying, we are them. Lets not forget we are THE FALLEN ANGELS. Just like little "L" (Lucifer whoever else you consider EVIL) archons (believe it or that they were here first) are created out of dark matter, just like we are. But darkness created the "light" but he who created darkness never left the darkness we on the other end did.
Welcome to the TESSERACT. the hologram.
BTW… "Archons" are what refract white light to make color thus they are the description/personification of the spiraling movement of scalar waves which were created in order to create the illusion of the One White Light of Consciousness to prism out into the rainbow that is life.
That of course doesn't make them anymore good I still think there ankle bitters. But they all got a purpose just like we do.
Good and bad are terms used by ignorant manifestations of beings who fail to see the process of time. So called bad things happen which catalyze people into the best self expression and learning experiences possible. It is pressure that refines the carbon into diamonds. While I do not myself perpetuate constrictive energies I also do not demonize those that do for their ignorance allows me the chance to expand and refine myself in a process that all may witness and take as an example.
Was written by an intelligent being were I can't recall the name from.
Let's not forget the DARK beings that are after the CABAL, are the ones that are going to take care of them, NOT LIGHT BEINGS. named DARK HOODS.
But if you so desperately want LIGHT planet X. Will come and help you out, this is our worst problem. Don't believe me?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=WLQqbutHccs As seen here in this video. at times way beyond AM, it's still sunshine.
http://poleshift.ning.com/profiles/blogs/planet-x-path-1 coordinates. I hope I'm wrong but the Zetas who care about us are sharing this information with us for about 17+ years. Plebeians are keeping there mouth shut, Light BEINGS.
I'm not saying per say, that they don't care but it's natural event, intervention is not allowed, it's all about our spiritual road of learning.
I've heard another story from Source, but if that is going to happen before Planet X, I don't know yet.
In the meantime we must defeat the CABAL. Before certain things can take place. That is what we all know right now.
And lets not forget we are all here for KARMIC debt.
We are all being pulled the wrong way, because there is only a few of us, that are on the right path, everybody is pulled down. Everybody that is basically almost the whole population is gearing back. Devolution is right around the corner, sorry but that's the truth. Inner earth is heating up, getting rid of the parasites and many people are considered parasites, they are eating GMO foods, drinking alcohol, all fucked up for the AURA, getting attached by whatever entities.
Magnetically they are between the poles of negative and positive, they need to get to the zero point. But these DEMONS are smart, I expect many rituals are going down, on the population. They know the astrology power, Keeping us consumed with Egypt, or whatever there is to talk about. Don't get me wrong it is important. But there is only so much we can do. DETACH.
If you don't want to call the "the fallen", call them another name, but don't call them the archons, because it means "the rulers".
They are not our rulers, and if we call them that way, we give them power. You could call them "the defeated" or something else.
About what you wrote... well, that is your perspective, but i disagree with everything you said. We, the fallen angels????? We, created out of dark matter??? darkness created the light???
I wonder when something like this will happen in America? There are still too many people asleep at the will not taking action against a corrupt American government.
This may be the last country to change, and it may also come with great risk in terms of local community and general civility.
There are some who will wait until after changes like this begin to happen in America, so that they can bring in the misguided. I know what you are trying to say though: "There need to be more out there that can prevent such misguidance to begin with."
America is already a house divided, and it has been falling on itself for the past twelve years or longer. Prevention can only go so far, since there will be a breakdown of civility within these borders--it's ripe for happening. I don't feel uneasy about it, however. It will not be a very long-lived breakdown.
This country will not go as quietly as the others, I can feel it. Its government and the corporations that abuse the government and this country's people all think too highly of themselves. They will not give up without contributing trouble first.
Forgive me for thinking that America will be an impossible objective, but at the present time, it is in a position too difficult to liberate from those that control it. This is a case where its people cannot lead by example, but need to watch the world and learn from it instead. A habit that America does not observe often enough, or even in proper fashion.
Would much rather see a smooth transition over an anarchistic one, and the probability of trouble blowing up in the faces of the Resistance becomes less likely with the rest of the world standing together with their senses first.
My heartfelt thanks to all who helped make this possible! To see this all coming to fruition, after hearing stories for so many years, is just amazing to me. Cobra, thank you for bringing so many of us together, lightworkers who previously felt so alone. We are now part of a family and I look forward every Sunday, and now everyday, to our coming together and flooding our beautiful planet and the beings who live here with love and light. The Goddess is here and now!
move very slowly and are already in position as the inner planets move into aspects with them. Just after Galactic Synchronization, on the 4th day of the Magnetic Moon, July 29, 2013, the planets will form an almost exact Grand Sextile. The Grand Sextile also includes two Grand Trines. These are all very positive and harmonious aspects completely surrounding the planet in a Sacred Geometric configuration. This is an awesome alignment of the planets in the solar system emcompassing the Earth in the geometry of a Stargate.
Oh Alcyone! How Magnificent is this Arrayment.
Purging Archontic Deception. A thoroughly guide to remove these bastards! PARASITES.
this plus the airplane in SF. I smell a rat! Perhaps a Last ditch effort by the cabals.
4. They will chose earthians one by one to help them in ruling.
5. After years extraterrestrials will have enough trained earthians with moral and honesty to be able to rule and then the extraterrestrials will give the power in the hands of earthian and will just stay as wise men to give advise and to supervise.
Nowadays on Earth who has power, is corrupted, who is not corrupted, has no training and experience.
I think it is a great mistake to rely on any person in power on Earth, for decades they have been carefully selected by the cabal and no one with moral has been allowed, if you have moral, you will be either banned or corrupted, this is the way the system works.
I agree with your last paraphrase not your first one, you have a creative mind, your a female(I think), it is time for us logical men to step aside and praise the female energy again.
The survivors after the invoked orbiting brown dwarf star (Blue Star; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1COFJPoe1A this is REAL) and the pole shift with it, are going to come together with nature(If we as ONE have defeated the CABAL before it will happen, they know this is coming hold your seat belts all of this is happening from now on within a YEAR I've been told this by an wanderer who has contact with 7D beings, if any of you can refute this by all means do so, I will stand correct.), and the people who are already living within nature will come and help the ones to connect to nature again. ET's will only if they are allowed to, help us to a certain extent. Ever wondered why nobody is telling you guys this? People are sick of hearing the same old story over and over again and dismiss it because ofcourse IT'S NIBURU, because the story wasn't right back then, funny how an illusionist work.
This comes from the HEART, I wish you all the best.
This is a WAR for your mind in a Microsoft langauge.
I don't think the "victory of the light" in Egypt is as obvious as this makes it seem. Yes, Morsi wasn't great, but Elbaradei is just as bad (http://www.islam21c.com/politics/11011-anti-democracy-a-response-to-elbaradei), maybe worse. I agree with Ananda that it isn't clear who IS capable of governing wisely and for the good of all. (Maybe Elizabeth Warren in the US). Where is the groundswell of support for a NEW kind of ruler? If this is truly done by the Resistance, then where is the preparationefor "after the revolution"?
At last Cobra interview transcription!
thank you for sharing, Ananda.
Cobra, is it possible the Galactic Federation may be causing the violence in this world?
dopo il 25 maggio del 2013 non ci doveva essere la pubblicazione di gran parte del progetto di ascensione??
Cobra, dicevi che dopo la data del 25 maggio sarebbe stata divulgata gran parte del piano ascensionale e che ti era stato permesso di farlo....e che era una notizia sicura. Chiedevo se è ancora cosi'?
Last night here in Pinellas county FLorida I watched a lightning exibition unlike any other I have seen. It was cotinuous lightning and flashes some going oppisite directions at the same time side by side. Some went in a circle, many curved, many very high in the atmosphere above where storms occur. It lasted about 1 1/2 hours in one spot near my house.
I could feel the creative presence and it was like the lightniing was for a purpose.
Was this the start of the breakthru in the matrix?
Was it planet wide or just partial?
P.S. I still had bad guys in my house ll night and this afternoon so I know they were not picked up yet.
I recently listened to an interview with John Lash, a scholar who presents a radical revision of Gnosticism, and has deep insight into the Sophianic myth of the Pagan Mysteries, the sacred story of Gaia-Sophia, recounting the origin of the earth and the human species from the galactic core. FASCINATING and very revealing. He talks about the Correction that Gaia will make, which leads me to wonder if it is the same thing as the Event? He also brings up the fact that the 'correction' won't' take place until the last minute. And the way things look in the world right now (CRAZY REPTILIANS!), I'd have to say he is on the money!
I highly recommend this 2 hour interview, The Archon Solution (see link below), where John sheds light onto the history of the archons with respect to the Gnostic perspective and shares in depth information that is crucial in understanding the history behind the reason why humanity is in this predicament. John gives more pieces of the puzzle and allows us to realize that the solution is provided in the historic Gostic information and that this solution is "right under our noses".
Estamos felizes pelas conquistas da Luz e aguardando o momento do "Evento".
Somos Um e Todos em Regozijo.
I just now realized that you saw the ISIS connection to General Sisi. I posted a blog about it yesterday at Before It's News ... including Sirius star chart that shows that the latest wave of violence last week followed the annual helical rise of this most important Egyptian star.
