A new article published by Popular Science adds more fuel to the fire about the existence of outer space technology capable of showering the Earth with space microwave beams of the type used to carry out experiments to influence human mental capacity. The reach of Project Blue Beam — a child of NASA — isn't even kept secret anymore, as millions of people have heard strange loud noises coming from the skies all over the planet in the last couple of months. In a recent article, we updated readers about the history and future plans to use microwave technology to communicate direct messages to people in different languages in an attempt to swindle the world's population into believing a Second Coming was happening in order to further consolidate the New Age movement and its religion.
Of course, space microwave beam technology is disguised as a project to beam down solar energy that is caught in space by large solar panel mirrors. The energy captured by those mirrors is then launched to Earth in the form of microwave energy beams. This same technology was played with back in the 70s to conduct experiments with humans where through a microwave beam, scientists were able to send messages to individuals without saying a single word. According to our investigation, the Soviet Union developed computer technology that allows for the broadcast of audio on a planetary basis. This audio and holographic technology, now in the hands of NASA, is intended to create a celestial hologram and audio show that includes the appearance of all gods humanity believes in, speaking to their earthly followers which will then fuse into one creature that will call for the eradication of all world religions and the adoption of the New World Order New Age religion.
Although Popular Science's articles presents the use of such a technology as a future project in which NASA has decided to invest time and resources, the core of the plan is already pretty much complete. The article says that the project was recently unveiled by a NASA contractor who works for the company Artemis. However, our previous investigation shows that Project Blue Beam Microwave technology has been in the works for decades and its details have been presented in several conferences before. For example, there is the Staff Memorandum to Members of Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments, mentions the use of microwave technology in humans for the purposes of studying the effects of beaming microwave on people, just as the Soviets did in their experiments. Secondly, we found that the type of technology used to supposedly send energy back to Earth is similar to the one used in the direct energy weapons and weather modification programs. The CIA itself utilized a microwave weapon created by Lockheed-Sanders in order to perform voice synthesis. This is understood as the remote beaming of audio directly into the brain of any person.
Our own investigation reveals that the space electronic telepathic two way communication is capable of using deep perspective 3D imagery together with ELF, VLF and LF waves to create a massive mind controlling operation that can make or break any human mind. According to journalist and researcher Serge Monast, the University of Arizona hosted an event called the 'The NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Current and Emergent Phenomena and Biomolecular Systems,' where scientists themselves warned about the potential for the mind control technology to become a weapon, if the results of the experiments were abused by those empowered by them.
According to a 1999 article written by Hans Sherrer, many of the experiments with Project Blue Beam technology were conducted using US prisoners in Vietnam as well as alleged criminals within the United States Prison System. The CIA itself utilized a microwave weapon created by Lockheed-Sanders in order to perform voice synthesis. This is understood as the remote beaming of audio directly into the brain of any person. Part of equipment needed to broadcast an audio or message that is understandable to everyone, which is sent out at the same frequency than the human nervous system in order to exercise control can be achieved by a transmitter produced by defense contractor Loral Electro-Optical System, a company located in Pasadena, California. Loral has already used this technology to conduct experiments for the US Airforce that intended to insert messages in the minds of people in order to defeat them in the battle field.
The conceptual project presented by Mr. Mankins, as NASA's newest undertaking is called The Innovative Advanced Concepts Project, and it is carried out under the responsibility of the Office of the Chief Technologist. A one-year study is ongoing. This also contradicts our research which shows that the kind of technology associated with wireless long distance electromagnetic communication was spoken about back in 1978 by James C. Lynn in his book "Microwave Auditory Effect and Application", which talks about how audible voices can be broadcast directly into the brain.According to Serge Monast, the U.S. military financed the development of non-lethal microwave weapons that create sound inside your head. The project was named MEDUSA, an acronym for Mob Excess Deterrent Using Silent Audio.
"the direct energy weapons and weather modification programs."…I was waiting for this article to come out. Thanks.
Can you confirm whether this was the same DEW (claimed by Dr Judy Wood) used to "dustified" the seven buildings in the WTC 9/11 disaster and the 3/11 Fukushima Nuclear Plant?
Was silently wishing someone would publish this. Pleasantly surprised. Dr Judy Wood was theorising that a Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) was used to turn the WTC buildings to dust. The same thing happened to Fukushima.
My group of researchers were also wondering if DEW was used to spark of the first explosion. The clearest evidence was the unusual elongated hole on the helideck. There is an interesting twist to this which will confirm that the DWH blowout and the mega oil spill was entirely premeditated.

Top 50 Girls Basketball Countdown 2022: No. 10-6
October 28, 2022 Outside the Huddle 2022 Basketball Preview, Top 50 Girls Basketball 2022 1
Outside the Huddle and Bounce are counting down who it feels are the top 50 individual girls basketball players in northeast Indiana heading into the 2022-23 season.
Today, we unveil five of the best in the area at positions No. 10-6.
No. 10: Brea Garber, Fairfield
With almost any player in the top part of the Top 50, the term multi-dimensional can be used. But that term may not apply to anyone more than it does Garber, who has done more than maintain her status, she simply gets better seemingly every game. She is a tempo starter and more importantly, a tempo changer. Garber makes the entire game got the way she wants it to go, showing a bit of a different kind of IQ in the game. She averaged three steals a game last year but it always seemed like more because of the way she hounded opponents as the Falcons lead guard. Oh, and the 77 percent free throw shooter is a bucket too, scoring 15.8 points per game to lead the Falcons to one of their best seasons ever last year.
COACH'S QUOTE ON BREA GARBER
"Brea's all around game has elevated her team's play each and every year. Her stats are just a part of what she does for our team. Our defensive scheme starts with her ability to play in multiple spots. She changes the flow of our opponents offense quite often with her wingspan and anticipation. One of her more undervalued assets is her basketball IQ. She has an uncanny ability to set her teammates for a shot with the right pass at the right time." – Fairfield coach Brodie Garber
No. 9: Johnea Donahue, Snider
Nobody, literally nobody should want to be defended by Donahue, who is a lock down defender that thrives in traps but is arguably the best one-on-one on ball defender in Northeast Indiana. She averaged 1.8 steals per game last season, but that does zero justice to how much of a game changer that she is with that defense, having four steals on three different occasions. As the roster around her has been altered in each of her first two seasons, Donahue too has had to change the type of player she is. So we aren't worried too much about statistical fluctuation because if you've seen Donahue play. you k now she can do. She is a major dribble drive threat and can score from every angle; she averaged 8 points per game last season.
COACH'S QUOTE ON JOHNEA DONAHUE
"Nae Nae is the heat and soul of the team. She does all the little things to make the team successful. She has also improved her ball handling and shooting over the summer. She is the ultimate team player!" – Snider coach Reggie Tharp
Snider's Joh'nea Donahue (2) helps trap Huntington North's Gracie Fields during November 9, 2021's game.
No. 8: Taylor Fordyce, Carroll
There aren't as many stabilizing forces in the area on Fordyce's level; she just does everything so well and basically everything right. Fordyce can get out and go but the by the book methods she takes on are actually far more fun to watch. That comes because her ability to play low and slow can lull you into a comfort zone where then she just blows by you or she can get up and down to the point opponents don't know how to guard her when she pulls it back and slows down. Her IQ in on a high level and it has led Fordyce to became one the area's best leaders by example. She led Carroll with 15.2 points per game while also pulling down 5.5 rebounds and averaging 2.3 steals and 2.2 assists per game last season while shooting 41 percent from three point range.
COACH'S QUOTE ON TAYLOR FORDYCE
"Taylor is one of those versatile players you can insert at any position and she will excel. Taylor is one of the most explosive players and balance on the offensive end. She can score on the drive, mid-range and three-point area. Taylor is an excellent defensive player on the ball and as well as off the ball with great anticipation in the passing lanes. Taylor moves very well without the ball and she has improved her outside shooting, particular her three-point shooting average (41%). She has the ability to beat her defender off the dribble. Taylor has a great basketball IQ that makes her a valuable asset to any team." – Carroll coach Mark Redding
No. 7: Taylor Double, Huntington North
If nothing else, an early season game against Snider last year – complete with a Double game winner – showed what kind of impact she can have. She became an absolute monster offensively and became one of the most difficult matchups in the area because of her pure scoring prowess, knocking down as many three pointers (46) and she did free throws and more than her two point shots made (45) while averaging 14.4 points per game. Double does things by the book and doesn't make a lot of mistakes along the way, racking up more steals (45) than she had total turnovers and fouls defensively.
COACH'S QUOTE ON TAYLOR DOUBLE
"Taylor is the most complete player I have ever coached. She shoots the ball at a high percentage, she sees the court really well, and leads us in rebounding each year. Her size allows her to see over opponents and she is starting to develop an inside game that allows her to be more versatile as an inside/outside threat. Last year I challenged her to be a 40/50/90 player. She responded with 45% 3pt, 64% 2pt, and 80% FT. Her game is still evolving and she will be looked at to carry the load for us this year. The best part about her game may be her court vision. Fortunately for us we have some other players that will be the beneficiary of some of Taylor's passes. We are looking to put the ball in Taylor's hands as much as possible this year." – Huntington North coach Matt Hinds
No. 6: Saniya Jackson, Northrop
Jackson is incredibly fierce and a natural scorer for the Bruins. She averaged 15.4 points per game for Northrop and a resurgent season. She scored in single digits just three times while shooting 52 percent from the field and 77 percent from the foul line. Perhaps better than her scoring – and that is hard to say – Jackson seemed to have found how to use her own length better last year than we had seen her before. She pushed her rebounds to 10.5 per game as one of those rare season long double double performers and used that frame as well to attacking passing lanes and come up with three steals per game. She bounced back from an ACL injury quicker and better than any player we've seen in the area in a long time if not ever and she did it tenaciously.
COACH'S QUOTE ON SANIYA JACKSON
"Pure scorer, led the team in scoring and our top returning rebounder. She will be asked to do even more this year on both ends of the floor with her ability to guard positions 1-4. She is our motor, we will go as Saniya goes." – Northrop coach Katie Jackson

General Contractors Association of New York Joins Coalition for the Northeast Corridor; Adds to Growing List of Members
(Washington, D.C.) – The General Contractors Association of New York (GCA) has joined the Coalition for the Northeast Corridor (CNEC), a diverse group of businesses and community stakeholders brought together to realize the Northeast Corridor's potential by advocating for federal infrastructure investment.
"For over a century, GCA members have helped build the infrastructure that keeps New York and the Northeast Corridor moving," said Denise Richardson, Executive Director of the General Contractors Association of New York. "The Northeast Corridor is critical for the national economy, and it must be brought to a state of good repair. We are pleased to join CNEC's efforts and believe that it's essential for business and community stakeholders to band together and to advocate for sustained federal investment across the Corridor."
"No one better understands the enormous state-of-good-repair challenges on the Northeast Corridor than the General Contractors of New York," added Steve Morrison of Siemens, President of CNEC. "The Coalition for the Northeast Corridor welcomes their voice to the discussion about critical investments in Northeast passenger rail infrastructure and the region's economic future."
GCA's membership is one of several recent additions to CNEC, reflecting a growing interest across the Corridor's business and stakeholder communities in supporting its mission.

Q: how to mirror the richtextbox control in two screens [Edited] i'm trying to mirror my Richtextbox to another screen in Pictuerbox. actually i did that but my issue is (Lets to make my question clear say that we have 2 screens (Screen A and Screen B).
I want to show the Richtextbox in Screen B. As when i open a start menu in screen A it mustn't be shown in screen B. All i want in my program is to mirror the richtextbox as a control not the whole screen.
is that possible?

A: I dont know if it works and i dont have time to try it but i think you need to create 2 controls. By the 1st one you check the .textChanged() and when it is triggered you update the second textbox.
Example (pseudo code):
TextboxA;
TextboxB;

If TextboxA.TextChanged()
{
  TextboxB.Text() = TextboxA.Text();
}

Maybe there is an better way, but this is the way i should try when i make it for my self. Hope it helps you.

A: What you describe sound like two over network connected applications. I would suggest to look for a chat network app. There are lots of examples in the net. On one side you will have a server and on the other side a client. Then you transfer your text char by char or word by word over the network.

Race to save our oceans: Four young men embark on tough rowing challenge for charity
LONDON: In the wee small hours of this morning (Sunday, 5th July 2020) four young men set off on a nautical charity challenge that, if successful, would make them the youngest team ever to row non-stop, unsupported around the UK.
The Exe Endurow team
1 who had no prior rowing experience, left Tower Bridge in London at around 2:30am to start the 2,000-mile GB Row Challenge 2020,
2 known as one of the toughest races in the world, that is estimated to take them around 30 days to complete, in order to raise money for marine conservation charity Just One Ocean.
3 and the British Red Cross, in support of their COVID-19 response.
"We are raising money for two charities that mean a lot to us," said team member Charles Bromhead.
The crew of four, which includes the great nephew of Queen Elizabeth II, Arthur Chatto, have endured a tough few months training during lockdown, self-isolating as a team, for the challenge that has only ever seen 14 successful finishers, in four boats.
"With all the preparations completed it has become very exciting, but also quite nerve-racking as we realise how much of a challenge we have taken on, but we can't wait to get started," said Arthur.
David Jones, who is the Founder and CEO of Just One Ocean, as well as a researcher at the University of Portsmouth, said: "The team have put in an incredible amount of work in a relatively short space of time. We are extremely grateful for the support they are giving to Just One Ocean and wish them the best of luck."

1 The Exe Endurow Team consists of Harry Lidgley, Oliver Dawe-Lane, Arthur Chatto and Charles Bromhead.
2 The GB Row Challenge is a non-stop, unsupported rowing race around the UK mainland, setting off from Tower Bridge in London. It's a formidable race that will see the team face all manner of dangers and obstacles such as shipping lanes, 2,000 miles of open water, bad weather and strong tides.
3 Just One Ocean is a UK-based marine conservation charity that raises global awareness of the issues facing marine and coastal environments in order to protect and conserve them for future generations.

Owen Frederic Goodbody (Bootham 1903-8), Second Lieutenant, Royal Engineers, contracted enteric fever in the Dardanelles and died at Alexandria, October 20th 1915. He was born in Blackrock in 1890.
A correspondent sent the following for the obituary in Bootham magazine (December 1915), which includes notes from O. F. Goodbody's diary: 'After leaving school Owen entered Trinity College and took the Aits and Engineering Degrees of Dublin University. He then joined the Engineering Staff of the Great Southern and Western Railway, and was with them for two years, his industry and skill being much appreciated by his fellow-engineers. When the War broke out he realised the nature of the struggle, that his country was fighting not only for its honourable obligation towards Belgium, but for its own existence as a nation and for those ideals of liberty and justice he had learned at school. In no spirit of adventure, therefore, but from a firm conviction that it was the right thing to do, he put himself and his engineering knowledge at the service of his country by asking for and obtaining a commission in the Royal Engineers.
After some months' training at Chatham and other places in England he was appointed Second Lieutenant in the 72nd Field Company, R.E., attached to the 13th Division, which was ordered to the Dardanelles in June 1915 – After calling at Alexandria the 13th Division went to Lemnos, and here the Engineers stayed for two or three weeks improving the water supply and building piers at Mudros to facilitate landing and embarking of troops and stores.
Owen seems to have liked his brother officers, all of whom with one exception were Irishmen; so that it was a disappointment to find the company was to be split up. The 1st and 2nd Sections joined the 40th Brigade, and the 3rd and 4th, under Major Wolff and Lieutenants Bradstreet and Goodbody, the 39th Brigade, to form a Corps Reserve.
An attack on the Turkish position was begun the same afternoon, when the gully (Rest Gully), as Owen says in his diary, "became a place which was very much better to be out of, but we had to remain seven hours there. At last our turn came to form up; we were to be the last to leave the gully, and my place was to be at the rear of the column. What hitch occurred I do not know; but, instead of passing a certain point at 11.30 p.m., we could not pass till 2 a.m. next day. I must admit that the delay made me uneasy, as to move in daylight meant that we should be seen and perhaps mowed down by machine-gun fire. However, we got a move on at last and started moving in short spurts of about 200 yards, when there would be more delay; we were moving along the beach. At each stop every man, already dog tired, immediately lay down and was asleep before he was properly stretched on the ground. This was a great trial to me, who was responsible that there was not a gap in our part of the column or any straggling. I used to go to the head of our lot, and as soon as the column in front started to move would run back and waken the sleepers. I was in great fear of sleeping myself also, and of letting them, or those who were not asleep, go off without me. As we were moving along the beach going north from Anzac two destroyers were shelling the Turkish positions, so that the Turkish fire might not interfere with the general British advance. It was still dark, but dawn was imminent, and we were still very much exposed. Some stray bullets came over just to remind us where we were. One of them went through the sleeve of my tunic, but did no harm. I am very glad no men were hit.
"Daylight was now on us, and we were lucky to have got under cover in a dried-up water-course, up which we proceeded about half a mile inland, where we were ordered to dig in and await orders. We took the opportunity to get a little food, biscuits and bully beef, but must not drink. No source of water was known yet, and all the water the men had was in their water bottles.
".. . September 1st, on.—Life at Gazi Baba might have been very pleasant, but there were many things which often made me wish to be back in the Agyle Dere. Water was very scarce; half a gallon a day was often our ration, in fact nearly always. The place was very much crowded and dirty, and the Turks shelled us without fail twice per day, sometimes three times. . . . Shrapnel once burst over us while making troughs, every man diving for what cover he could get underneath the troughs, the bullets dropping within a few feet of us and burying themselves in the timber. Another unpleasant encounter with a shell was when a bullet (shrapnel) came through an unfinished part of the roof of our dug-out while we were at dinner, smashed an officer's plate and cup, and buried itself in the 'table.' … .
O. F. Goodbody had enteric fever, and was brought to Lemnos, and then changed to another hospital ship for Alexandria, where he was taken to the 21st General Hospital. The disease seemed to run its course normally; the patient appeared to be getting better, even to be convalescent, and was hoping to be allowed home soon for a change, when complications set in which necessitated an operation. The fever, unfortunately, had left him too weak to stand the operation, and he passed quietly away on October 20th, aged nearly 25 years. He played a man's part; he showed us an example of loyalty to the right and devotion to duty, for which he was willing to give his life. He will be remembered as a gallant Irish gentleman, beloved by everyone who knew him.
I am hoping that Old Scholars and other readers might be able to fill in some pieces of the story regarding Hungarian refugees at Bootham c.1956-57.
I've yet to find any other references in the records from the period, so if anyone can remember anything about refugees at Bootham in the 1950s, please do get in touch (Jenny.Orwin@boothamschool.com).
We have a volunteer opportunity in the archive, full details on the vacancies page on the school website. The closing date for applications is Monday 19th October.

Poached egg on avocado toast is a total favourite when it comes to brunch and it's super simple to make too – yes, even the poached egg!
Boil the kettle - then take a small saucepan and half fill it with the boiling water, add a pinch of salt - put it over a low heat so the water is just boiling.
Take a spoon and stir the water to create a spinning action.
Break the egg into a small cup and lower into the centre of the pan of water - the spinning action of the water will wrap the egg white nicely around the yolk as it cooks. Just leave the egg alone now to poach.
Whilst the egg poaches, toast the sourdough bread and mash half the avocado onto the toast with the back of a fork - drizzle over just a little olive oil.
When the timer goes gently lift the egg out of the pan of water with a slotted spoon - making sure it's cooked to your liking - if not pop it back for a few more seconds.
Place the egg onto a piece of kitchen paper and gently pat dry then place on top of your avocado toast.
Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper and eat straight away.
We think this goes great with a glass of fresh orange juice maybe a side of oven blistered baby plum tomatoes. You could also add just a sprinkling of red chilli flakes or drizzle of hot chilli sauce.

Indonesia: Jokowi Reboosting Ease of Doing Business Efforts
President Jokowi is reboosting efforts to make doing business in Indonesia easier through the issue of Presidential Instruction No. 7 of 2019 on the Acceleration of Ease of Doing Business at the end of November.
The instruction is addressed to all ministries, the Cabinet Secretary, the Chief of Indonesian Police, the Attorney General, and all chairmen of nonministerial agencies. The instruction appoints the Capital Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) as the coordinator. The aim is to simplify procedures and requirements, and accelerate the issuance of business licenses. BKPM will be the authority that issues all business licenses and investment facilities (delegated from all ministries and non-ministerial agencies).
We heard that BKPM is currently focusing on executing the instruction. It remains to be seen how this will be done. It is still unclear whether the current licensing system (online single submission (OSS) system), which was introduced in the middle of last year, will be changed again. But the new version of the OSS system (version 1.1), which was meant to be launched in early November, has not yet been launched.
Another issue is that many of the difficulties faced by businesses occur at the regional level, for example when trying to obtain local licenses. But the instruction is only addressed to national level officials and agencies. It remains to be seen how the coordination will be done with regional (provincial and the next lower level) authorities.
We hope that there will be many changes to the licensing regime in the near future to make it simpler at both national and regional levels.

War in Ukraine: Russians helpless against Ukrainian defenses at Bagmouth, Wagner's boss explains reasons for offensive failure
Morris Nicholls January 4, 2023 2 min read
In an interview filmed for the Russian news agency RIA Novosti in late December, Evgueni Prigojine, head of the Wagner militia, explains why his troops were unable to capture Bakhmout.
"Everybody's asking the question: When are you going to pick up? Bagmouth ?", He begins before describing his players' strategy, which consists of advancing one house after another as a result of the Ukrainian defensive lines. "Each house is a castle, sometimes it takes weeks to take a house. He explains.
"Today, in the morning, we took a house and broke through the Ukrainian defenses. Behind this house there is another new defense, not just one., he says before his soldiers. "How many such security lines are there in Artyomovsk? (Russian name for Bagmouth Author's Note) ? 500 is not wrong. There is a safety line every 10 meters.Prigozhin assures.

On Tuesday, British intelligence said the Russian military and Wagner "In mid-December their infantry attacks increased in frequency around the town of Pakmut in the Donetsk region, but these were poorly supported. Also, the Ukrainian army "is carried out significant reinforcements" To secure the area from mid-December.

Progress in one camp is more difficult than in the other, and thus the situation at Bagmouth is blocked, almost completely destroyed.

MIAMI (AFP) - Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson fired a nine-under 63 to grab a two-stroke lead over England's Paul Casey after Saturday's third round of the Hero World Challenge.
The 37-year-old American southpaw stood on 19-under 197 after 54 holes in the 18-man invitational event hosted by Tiger Woods at the Albany resort near Nassau, Bahamas.
Casey fired a 63 of his own to stand second on 199, one stroke ahead of Americans Patrick Reed and Chris Kirk - who each fired 66s - with US world No. 1 Jordan Spieth and countryman Bill Haas on 201 after each firing 68s.
Watson made seven birdies and an eagle to storm into the lead after starting the day one back.
He followed a birdie-birdie start with an eagle at the par-four fourth and birdied the par-five sixth. On the back nine, Watson had back-to-back birdies at the par-five 11th and par-three 12th and again at the par-five 15th and par-four 16th.
Casey birdied six holes on the front nine, settling for pars on the par-three second, fifth and eighth holes. He then birdied the 10th, 12th and 13th before parring to the clubhouse from there.
American Jimmy Walker, a co-leader with Spieth and Haas after 36 holes, fired a 71 to stand seven adrift entering Sunday's final round.


The season of Christmas is upon us and the remains of turkey and pudding will be tempting to find their way to my mouth over the next couple of days. Masquerading as left overs they will still be centre stage. Crumbs, wrapping paper, ribbons – all get recycled sooner or later. The festival and feasting linger before the new year begins.
So often I think our church, Sor Juana, is a remnant, where we are hanging on to the few remaining unraveling threads, and then Christmas comes and churches are full of hope and promise, families reunited, carols filling once empty cavities and a little person, like all little people divine and complete in their goodness, untouched by the world and the temptations to come. Unblemished by fear, greed, pride, envy and all the other sin that eat away at simplicity, humility, hope, joy: the little one is there, amongst us, being adored as all children should be.
In the convent Sor Juana this would have been a time of prayer and feasting too! Perhaps you treated your Sisters to poems and songs, perhaps you gave yourself a treat and gazed at the stars for longer than usual, connecting your night sky to that of Bethlehem's.
In our sky, we had a full moon for Christmas Day, the first time in 38 years, and although cloud cover early in the evening concealed her from view, once the clouds released their load of rain, she was able to be seen and we were refreshed. When we are carrying a load, our true selves can't always be seen either and often it takes the tears to be shed before we too are refreshed and renewed.
The remains of this year will be echoed in the years to come.
This is my last letter to you and it is time to say good bye Sor Juana. Thank you for travelling with this pilgrim in 2015. You have been a faithful companion and have drawn me to places where you found comfort and joy – words, the sky, community and prayer, silence and service. In looking over my letters to you I see those elements of your life entwined in the thoughts I've shared. Left overs from your table and your story have found their way to me across the ages and pockets of souvenirs from your worlds, benefactors and visitors, have found their way into my words. Your oft quoted line: I did not study to learn more, but to ignore less, is a solid foundation and will remain with me.
Your ability to speak up and then to choose silence as your final word has been instructive. And this is where I will leave our conversation, investing in understanding for that is where there is wealth and in the silence knowing a blank page speaks as well as one full of words.

The year is coming to a close and in our hemisphere the summer days collide with Christmas. It is a juxtaposition of openings and closings. Closure is a forecast to an opening, a new beginning. Out of office notices start to appear, conversations turn to sand, sea and surf reports, an eye is kept on bushfire alerts as the mercury rises, sausages sizzle on de-cobwebbed BBQs ready for family and friends to drop by.
Packing up the year and reflecting on what has been, is an invitation to what lies ahead as well. What can be packed up, what will go on rinse and repeat, what will never happen again? Don't leave the lessons learnt from the year behind, they maybe useful companions in the year ahead.
Accumulating wisdom is one way I like to think of the visitors from the East in the nativity story. They brought their wisdom to the foot of a child in a donkey's trough. Imagine receiving gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Gold a transition metal the subject of alchemy, perhaps it is an alchemist bearing the product of his chemistry (after all chemistry means magic). Frankincense bankrupted a civilization when it was currency. This amazing oil full of healing properties to relieve chronic stress and anxiety, reducing pain and inflammation, boosting immunity. The carrier in our nativity tale perhaps someone who knew the essence of life and how to build resilience. Essential oils require distillation, what a grand metaphor to bring to the crib – to distil the essence of life. And then the myrrh, derived from a thorny bush, a predictor of things to come, intoxicating perfume that can only be harvested from its source through repeatedly wounding the tree to bleed and release its sap. What a message here of the gifts of pain, release and prophecy for lies ahead for all of us as we enter fully into our own journey and story. The opening and closing of the child in Bethlehem has myrrh as book ends for his life and death.
What are the gifts we bring to this season that will last our whole life through? Who are the ones who bring you gold, frankincense and myrrh?
Looking for the alchemy, the essence and release will be part of how I spend reflecting on this year and what I need to keep an eye out for in what is ahead.

Advent has begun and the questions of this season of transition have begun to be revealed. Starting first with a familiar face behind a camera asking me at a public event: "How would you like to be remembered?" I answered "… as a woman who lived with grit, grace and gratitude". And so as this season has begun I am asking myself, just exactly how am I living like that, how does grit, grace and gratitude actually transpire through, in and around me?
The babe born in a stable, into a family in transit and on the move, surrounded by creatures, honored by followers of stars and welcomed by those unseemly shepherds is a powerful of metaphors on what it means to be born into this species. This child, native to that space, this is The Nativity, the single instruction of simplicity, the code for inclusivity and the guide to living.
The idea of "going native" by taking on some (or all) of the cultural traits of the people around you is surely embedded into the hay of manager. The nativity is asking us to 'go native' and follow this little one, to take on the traits of humility and to receive gifts from afar, from the wise and the simple, to hear the songs of angels praising your arrival, to be held and adored. If you really believed and accepted that your presence was a cosmic act and each moment contained divine inspiration surely you would be living with plenty of grace and gratitude! The grittiness is something else, the very human stuff, that brings humility and a constant call back to the labour pains of transition from one world to another. This is all part of the advent season too – trusting in the transition as well as the promise of what is beyond.
When the children were young, each Advent I would buy a new book of the nativity story (and we have quite a collection). It was part of the preparation, along with decorations, cheesy carols and traditional ones floating from various devices and making music together from saucepan drums, guitars and maracas. This season of preparation calls on more from me this year and I am being invited to grit to herald grace and gratitude and I come to the nativity scene to help me get to the other side of this transition with my examen for advent.
Are you ready to have a home in the hay?
Are you ready to receive the gifts of strangers?
Are you ready to hear angels singing your praises?
Are you ready to be held?
Are you ready to be adored?
Are you ready to share your breath with the animals?
Are you ready to lie under the stars?
Are you ready to be fed by mother's milk?
Are you ready to cry in the dark?
Are you ready to be embraced?
Are you ready to flee from oppression?
Are you ready to trust, knowing the sacrifice ahead?

I got our my pencils for the first time in years and have packed them into my bag, in anticipation of using them. They might stay there the whole weekend, they might not. I might sharpen them, I might arrange them as a spectrum, I might remember what it felt like to hold them last time we were together. These inanimate objects beckoning me are now packed away and I can hear them buffing up against books in my back pack and they will be vying for attention when I reopen my bag in a Kath and Kim kind of way saying "look at me"!
We put things down and take up them again, seasonal crop rotation.
There are poems and stories to be written, books, incubating on note pads, backs of tickets and shopping dockets, scraps here and there patiently waiting for the moment they will be birthed. The wait is longer than any elephant's pregnancy. And now pencils are going into my backpack. Perhaps this is a prelude, perhaps it is displacement, perhaps it is avoidance …. perhaps it is the persistence of pencils to be reunited on a page.
Harvest comes from seed sown in the dark.
First the soil must rest before the tilling can start and so the pencils will clear away some of the rocks and rubble, make space for the tears to fall on the page and water the ground. There will be deep breaths and sighs, a union of sorts between the elements and the body and then there will be space for the tilling and picking over the landscape. The pencils will be satisfied and eventually there will be tea for the tiller man in the kitchen. Cat Stevens will be wafting in the background while we remember who we were in another season and who we will become in the next. The page, white and virginal will be consecrated once the flirting and sidling up are over.
Advent is just around the corner, incubation after annunciation, labour pains before birth.

A good night's sleep is a blessing, coming as it does in the form of closed lids relaxed against the eye, body limp, heart beating to the rhythm of rest, the Goldilocks room temperature a lullaby to the senses. Ahh!
To wake in the morning with the rays tinkling the louvers, inviting the day into the room and caressing those same lids to gently unfold is the blessing of the good night's sleep.
I have taken to asking people how they are sleeping lately as a metric to how they are going … it has been projection on my part as my sleep pattern has been disturbed by bumps in the night lately. It is interesting how people are so readily able to join in this conversation and reveal what is happening in their waking hours from what happens when their body is lying between sheets while their minds work through the day. The sleep inducing laundry list includes elixirs from tea to alcohol, prescribed drugs, needles with tonics, breathing exercises, long walks, meditation, bathing, music. The gift of sleep in a babe for new parents has a bounty and gazing at a sleeping child is a balm for any exhausted mother.
What keeps you awake at night? is an oft asked question in my work with decision-makers, advisors and guides. I am now asking how are you sleeping at night and this is revealing how people are managing, coping, reflecting and integrating themselves into their challenges.
I am kept awake by the banshees creeping under the gap in the door closed shut stealing breaths and forcing their way through ever growing constricted airways of my love. I sleep in the promise of the new day bringing grit, grace and gratitude. With the help of others, my sleep is improving. Sleep is a gift and it is received with thanks.

You turned to your books and your telescopes to fuse past and the future and maybe in those moments of silence your presence to the present. Each moment is its own unique distillation – kairos. Kairos is the supreme and opportune moment where chronological time is banished and where every moment is like a time lapse that can fly in any direction in time and space (it is the Tardis timepiece for our fictional time traveller Dr Who). Kairos teaches us about the essence of being able to live in the moment, in the confidence that each one of those granular moments is the season for everything.
I have never done well at keeping to anyone else's timelines and very happy to let the universe unfold as it should, while savouring what can be savoured from the gift of each day and the promise of what is yet to come. The pilgrim's journey is one where every step is both a standing still, holding on and moving forward action, all at the same time. Being able to hold the space that takes us to a new place and on a trajectory to presence is a discipline.
When our species was more hunter-gatherer we followed the food and followed the seasons, foraging and finding what we needed where we walked and looked to the stars and the sun to guide us. Kairos happened when you held your arrow, found the berry and made camp each night. The partnership of hunter and gatherer kept communities alive and brought life to the fire with mythological tales and everyday news. Trust was high, everyone knew their role and how to support the community on the road during the day and how to celebrate around with the stories, golden threads, woven, keeping them altogether.
How we make these stories now, know our roles and develop our deep understanding of our place in kairos (as opposed to chronological time) is a noble quest. It is not trivial and at its deepest having a bigger story, bigger agenda, bigger brain thinking and a bigger heart beating will bring us to our essence. The pilgrim has a lot to learn from the hunter-gatherer time – gently stalking then capturing the stories and possibilities to be shared with the wider group; scanning the landscape picking up clues for hunter, building the fire and gathering up the remains of the day, knowing where the greenest shoots are and what fruits are in season ready to be picked. The dance of mother nature with us, more co-creating than conspiratorial, the unfolding visible once we take the moment as kairos. No doubt Sor Juana, you would have studied Aristotle and his schema for rhetoric where for him kairos was that moment in time and space when all was revealed and proof was made visible, where proof was previously hidden.
I am reminded by the Jewish parable of the two sisters Truth and Story, where Truth was reviled when walking through her town naked, yet when Story cloaked her she was accepted and welcomed – no one likes the naked Truth, but when wrapped in Story, it becomes a thing of beauty and something we can all appreciate. Perhaps, this is what happens in kairos – time stands still and the space is held and beautiful truths are revealed. These are glorious moments when the scales fall away, the sun shines, stars twinkle and there is an alignment of the planets. So here's to hunters and gatherers, and stories bringing more kairos to pilgrims for every indivisible step.

The idea of nests and holes has struck me as being the same. The comfort of being held in the sanctuary of a place prepared and nurtured by loving partners for life to commence and then for a fledgling to grow before being evicted to take to the wing; and the place in the dark, the den of the underground home of the sleek and sneaky predator coming out in the night to steal and thieve. Two great cosmic archetypes: light and dark, sky and earth, juxtaposed with the Divine choosing neither to find rest. Instead only the present is being offered: the here, the now.
This line is preceded by an instruction to a potential follower, to leave the dead to bury the dead, something I have often thought of as a little harsh. Compassion for self might indeed be the instruction here: to be present to the invitation to come follow and bring yourself to the moment on offer rather than looking back to what might take you down a hole.
Attaching to thoughts that are dead and yet not being able to let them go completely, just wanting a few more minutes with them to wallow or maybe return to the nest or even find a hole that is magnetically calling you to come down. Saying no to both nests and holes and being the pilgrim to being present to the now can be one hell of a challenge!
What is this place Nowhere? Is it instead the here and now – NowHere?

Board of Directors + Committee Members
The Big Sky Community Organization is led by a Board of Directors & five separate Committees.
Our 11 person Board of Directors represent the diversity of the community we serve with various backgrounds and experiences. Our current Board of Directors are:
Al Malinowski
His Story: Al came out to Big Sky from Michigan for one winter season to learn to ski and to try living in a place where he didn't know anyone. At the time he thought he would enjoy a winter season, then go back "to the real world." Even though he left the area twice, Big Sky has become home.
Professional Experience: After two years in public accounting with Arthur Andersen, Al enjoyed five years working for Big Sky Resort, eventually becoming the Controller. For the past 18 years Al has served as Vice President of Gallatin Partners, Inc., a company involved in local real estate development projects.
Favorite BSCO Amenity: Al's favorite BSCO amenity is the Big Sky Community Park. While it took a lot of money to build, it also involved countless volunteer hours from many community members with various interests and diverse backgrounds. To him, it is a proud example of what can be accomplished when people work together.
During his down time: Down time??? When he does find time, Al likes to get into the back country and enjoys playing and coaching team sports. Most importantly, he enjoys spending time with his family.
Why BSCO is Important to Him: The work of the BSCO is important to Al because of the opportunity to help shape how our community grows. He feels fortunate to work with so many talented volunteers who can put the community's best interests first. It has been exciting to be a small part of such a significant collaborative effort that will preserve the assets and values that make Big Sky unique.
Kate Ketschek
Her Story: During college, in the summer of 1994, Kate was looking to move to the mountains. Someplace uncrowded, offering beautiful mountain landscapes and access to outdoor activities. She found Big Sky. After that summer, Kate returned to college but Big Sky's pull never left her. In 1999, she returned, working at Big Sky Resort, joining the fire department, serving on the board of the Big Sky Chamber of Commerce, and as fate would have it, meeting her husband. They moved away again for a few years but returned (for good) in late 2015.
Professional Experience: With a background in marketing and public relations, and a love of the outdoors, Kate focused her career working with great brands like Big Sky Resort, NEMO Equipment and Ruffwear. She currently owns a public relations firm and enjoys the challenge of building recognition and increasing market share for young, innovative brands. Taking community involvement as seriously, she has been lucky enough to have served as a volunteer firefighter/EMT, president of the Big Sky Chamber of Commerce and as a board member for the Conservation Alliance.
Favorite Trail: Big Sky is home to most of her favorite trails for running. The North Fork, Porcupine, and Beehive Basin are just gorgeous. And hitting the Hummocks/Uplands trails for lunchtime jaunts is also on the top of her list.
Why BSCO is important: The outdoors is a stress reliever for Kate and helps keep everything in perspective. Ensuring access to trails, open spaces and waterways is important to most of us who choose to make Big Sky our home and is one reason she enjoys serving on the BSCO board. It's an economic driver, drawing employees and visitors. Kate wants to make sure there are plenty of places for her daughter and her friends to find solace, exercise and beauty in the future.
Warren Cook
His Story: Warren's vast experience running some of the most well-known ski resorts in the country and a former senior manager of international manufacturing companies has given him valuable insight on what a ski town could be. He moved to Big Sky for its great snow and that it was non Disneyland. Of course, like many people, he came for the winter, but stayed for the summer. Warren also has considerable experience with non-profit organizations and served on the boards of the Maine Community Foundation and the Maine Association of Non-Profits. Throughout his career he has been involved in philanthropy and rural community development. A graduate of Dartmouth College, he also served as a Captain in the US Marine Corps Reserve.
Hobbies and Interests: When not serving the BSCO, Warren enjoys hiking the Beehive Basin and Uplands Trails which he says are some of his favorites. Motorcycle riding, reading and staying fit are also some of the activities he enjoys. He cares about Big Sky and helping see its growth in a positive way are important goals he strives for.
Michelle Horning
Her Story: Michelle visited Big Sky for the first time on a ski trip in 1994. She had planned to go to other ski areas in the region, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, etc., but ended up getting a job offer and a place to live within a few days of arriving and that was it, she never left. She was in awe when turning off the highway and had her first view of Lone Peak…it seemed to be calling her to stay.
Professional Experience: With a Bachelor's degree in Recreation Management and a Masters in Physical Education, Michelle has a diverse background. She taught wilderness survival and backpacking classes in college, was a whitewater rafting guide, owned several daycares and preschools throughout Big Sky, and was an office manager for a construction company. Currently, Michelle has been working as a Realtor in Big Sky since 2003.
Favorite Trail and Interests: Her favorite trail is just steps away from her home. The Gallatin River Trail that leads to the Porcupine trail head is a gem. There is so much wildlife and big mountain views to see the entire time and all with the peaceful sound of the Gallatin River in the background.
Like many locals, Michelle enjoys running, hiking and vacations to warm places…all with her family. She also loves watching her daughter and teammates play for the Lone Peak Big Horns in all of their sporting events!
Why BSCO is important: Her work with the BSCO is rewarding because the outdoors and staying active have been lifelong passions. The BSCO embodies all of those things and she gets to leave a legacy by being a part of what BSCO does for our community and its future. She says, "It's the most rewarding volunteer Board I've been lucky to be involved with and contribute my time to."
Mark Cone
His Story: Mark and his wife found Big Sky relatively early on. They have owned property since the 1990's and were originally attracted to the areas' raw beauty and boundless outdoor activities. They moved here full time in 2014 to allow their older son to continue his passion of competitive big mountain freeride skiing and to also spend four full years in the high school.
Professional Experience: Mark has been involved in various forms of asset management since 1994, notably as the founder of a large hedge fund and asset management firm in Los Angeles called Causeway Capital Management. His expertise was raising money from some of the largest investors in the world.
Favorite Place in Big Sky: When asked what his favorite park or trail in the area, his response was the less commonly known Cinnamon Mountain Trail, which as he describes, lets you experience various terrain and exposures in a quiet manageable hike. He also enjoys skiing, golf, travel and anything on the water!
Why BSCO is important: He get's satisfaction from serving on the BSCO board because quite simply, the town is in a stage of development where it needs direction to morph into what we all hope it will be.
Scott Hammond
Alex Iskenderian
Tallie Lancey
Her Story: After graduating with a degree in Philosophy and subsequently interning at the Nature Conservancy in Island Park, ID Tallie was ready for some wide open spaces and hungry for new experiences. Big Sky was nearby and it was just "big" enough. After starting out as a concierge at Moonlight Basin and the Yellowstone Club, she soon realized how important tourism was to the area. Her move into sales at Big Sky Sotheby's International Realty was a natural fit and she was able to learn the business during Big Sky's recession. She is also the past chairwoman of the Arts Council of Big Sky.
Favorite Trail: Tallie's favorite trail is Porcupine because it seems new every time she wanders into its vast network of trails. Her husband helped to create a lollipop trail called the Grizzly loop which gives her a sense of pride, too.
Interests: When not hiking Tallie enjoys downhill and cross-country skiing, bike riding and hosting dinner parties, along with pursuing creative endeavors like painting, singing, reading poetry and strangely, concocting ideas for community engagement.
Why BSCO is important to her: Her work with the BSCO is important because she is convinced that spaces where the public convenes are vital to our survival as a species.
Troy Nedved
His Story: Troy was drawn to both Montana and Big Sky for the exceptional skiing and mountain lifestyle.
Professional Experience: Troy has worked for Big Sky Resort operations for the last 24 years (winters) and also for Yellowstone National Park for 22 years (summers).
Favorite Trail: Troy's favorite trail is Ralph's Pass. He also enjoys Kircher Park with his kids.
Interests: When Troy has some down time, you can find him running, biking or cross country skiing in the winter.
Why BSCO is important to him: Troy understands the importance of access to recreation, particularly within a growing mountain town. He is also excited to become more connected to the community.
Renae Schumacher
Her Story: Renae moved to Big Sky in 1993 after her brother purchased the Big Sky Conoco and needed extra help managing it. It was supposed to be a temporary move, but she fell in love with her surroundings and ended up staying and buying the Conoco from her brother.
Professional Experience: Renae has managed/owned the Big Sky Conoco since 1993. She has also sat on a number of boards in the community.
Favorite Place in Big Sky: When asked what her favorite park or trail in the area, her response was ALL of them! She has been exploring the trails since the day she moved here. She feels that when a trail or park can be preserved or created in our community, it's extra special.
Interests: When Renae has some down time, you can usually find her outside. She enjoys running, biking, golf, skiing or just sitting on her deck.
Why BSCO is important: She is excited to be a part of an organization that is creating safe recreating spaces for our community and preserving the natural scenic quality and corridors that so many of us fell in love with when we first came to Big Sky.

In interviews with CNN, the New York Post and other major media outlets, Sailors tells how at the age of 31, she chopped off her long her and reinvented herself as a 'male' model.
Read more in The New York Post or on CNN.
I love this unreasonable action! This is so smart and original, that it only can comes from within – very authentic! Well done.

Now, here comes a special recipe. Why special?
Because… this one belongs to one my friends' grandmother. While dosaikal.com talks about some of the traditional recipes I learnt peeping into my grandma's kitchen, and ofcourse also trying my hands at cooking with mama and grandmama – amma and aachi, I feel delighted to try some of those precious recipes that the elders of your household have left behind for you!
Thank you so much 'A' for sharing this, from your treasured cookbook – your grandmother's recipe.
Kathirikkai is Eggplant to Americans and Brinjal to the British, if I am right.
A very simple and easy recipe. 'A' also informed me that hot rice and thuvayal is incomplete without a kootu to go with it. Kootu is a stew of vegetables. Mixing the thuvayal/chutney with rice would make it a thick mix and the stewy kootu would aid in bringing in a balanced consistency during the travel of the food towards digestion. Kootu which is cooked with lentil also helps in the protein intake in a meal. Shall try to post 'kootu' in the near future.
Serve with hot rice and kootu or just enjoy hot rice and chutney.
Next Post Good Bye Holland!

Q: Why does linear regression use "vertical" distance to the best-fit-line, instead of actual distance? Linear regression uses the "vertical" (in two dimensions) distance of (y - ŷ). But this is not the real distance between any point and the best fit line.
I.e. - in the image here:

you use the green lines instead of the purple.
Is this done because the math is simpler? Because the effect of using the real distance is negligible, or equivalent? Because it's actually better to use a "vertical" distance?

A: Vertical distance is a "real distance".  The distance from a given point to any point on the line is a "real distance".  The question for how to fit the best regression line is which of the infinite possible distances makes the most sense for how we are thinking about our model.  That is, any number of possible loss functions could be right, it depends on our situation, our data, and our goals (it may help you to read my answer to: What is the difference between linear regression on y with x and x with y?).
It is often the case that vertical distances make the most sense, though.  This would be the case when we are thinking of $Y$ as a function of $X$, which would make sense in a true experiment where $X$ is randomly assigned and the values are independently manipulated, and $Y$ is measured as a response to that intervention.  It can also make sense in a predictive setting, where we want to be able to predict values of $Y$ based on knowledge of $X$ and the predictive relationship that we establish.  Then, when we want to make predictions about unknown $Y$ values in the future, we will know and be using $X$.  In each of these cases, we are treating $X$ as fixed and known, and that $Y$ is understood to be a function of $X$ in some sense.  However, it can be the case that that mental model does not fit your situation, in which case, you would need to use a different loss function.  There is no absolute 'correct' distance irrespective of the situation.

A: Summing up Michael Chernick comment and gung answer:
Both vertical and point distances are "real" - it all depends on the situation.
Ordinary linear regression assumes the $X$ value are known and the only error is in the $Y$'s. That is often a reasonable assumption.
If you assume error in the $X$'s as well, you get what is called a Deming regression, which fits a point distance.

Indigenous ecotourism: conservation and resource rights
Zeppel, Heather (2007) Indigenous ecotourism: conservation and resource rights. In: Critical issues in ecotourism: understanding a complex tourism phenomenon. Butterworth-Heinemann, Oxford, United Kingdom, pp. 308-348. ISBN 9780750668781
This chapter addresses critical issues for Indigenous-owned and operated ecotourism ventures that benefit Indigenous communities and conserve the natural and cultural environment. The spread of ecotourism into remote areas often coincides with regions of high biological and scenic value that are still the traditional homelands for surviving groups of Indigenous peoples. Ecotourism enterprises controlled by Indigenous people include
cultural ecotours, ecolodges, wildlife safaris, hunting and fishing tours, cultural villages and other nature-based tourist facilities or services. Indigenous ecotourism is defined as 'nature-based attractions or tours owned by Indigenous people, and also Indigenous interpretation of the natural and cultural environment including wildlife' (Zeppel, 2003, p. 56). Indigenous ecotourism provides an alternative to extractive land uses such as hunting,
farming, logging or mining, and it involves Indigenous people in managing tourism, culture and use of natural resources. Ecotourism supplements a subsistence lifestyle and aids the transition to a cash economy for many tribal groups. How various Indigenous communities develop and operate tribal ecotourism enterprises or joint ventures is a key focus of much recent research in this area. This chapter discusses key factors and constraints for
sustainable development of Indigenous ecotourism and explores the growing links between biodiversity conservation, ecotourism and Indigenous land rights. Indigenous cultural perspectives about ecotourism, conflicts between hunting and ecotourism and key challenges for community-based ecotourism are discussed. The role of environmental non-government agencies (NGOs), ecotourism associations and government agencies in developing
Indigenous ecotourism is also examined.

Q: Problem with my Jquery loading in my Codeigniter views I am working on a one page website that allows the users to add and remove pages from there navigation as and when they would like too, the way it works is that if the click 'Blog' on the main nav a 'Blog' section should appear on the page, if they then click 'News' the 'News' section should also be visible, however the way I have started to implement this it seems I can only have one section at a time, can my code be adpated to allow multiple sections to shown on the main page.
Here is my code for the page that has the main menu and the users selections on it.
 <!DOCTYPE html>

    <title>Development Site</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/media/css/reset.css" media="screen"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/media/css/generic.css" media="screen"/>

Inspiration

Blog

A: You should try something like this
$('a.menuitem').click(function() {
                    var link = $(this), url = link.attr("href");
                        var $newDiv = '

';
                        $("#content_pane").append($newDiv);
                        $newDiv.load(url);
                        return false; // prevent default link-behavior
            });

I havent tested that but it should work. If you can please report your result.
Alternatively you can create a variable that stores loaded content, wrap it into a div element and append created element to the #content_pane

A: Building on what Mike put.. do this:
$('a.menuitem').click(function(e) {
                    var link = $(this), url = link.attr("href");
                        var $newDiv = '

';
                        $("#content_pane").append($newDiv);
                        $newDiv.load(url);
                        e.preventDefault; // prevent default link-behavior
            });

The e.preventDefault(); will stop the default action from occuring. Then it should not follow the link. Return False is usually used in the .submit() function. You'll need .preventDefault for the .click().

Radio's Chris Douridas arrested
KCRW host is suspected of drugging and trying to kidnap a girl, 14, but has not been charged.
KCRW-FM radio host Chris Douridas, an influential Grammy-nominated musical tastemaker who has consulted on such Hollywood films as "American Beauty" and "Shrek 2," was arrested last week outside a popular Santa Monica bar on suspicion of drugging and trying to kidnap a 14-year-old girl.
Douridas, 43, was arrested shortly after midnight Jan. 6. Witnesses, who reported seeing Douridas put a substance into the victim's drink and carry her out of the Circle Bar on Main Street, flagged down police.
Douridas, a Pacific Palisades resident, was released by police after posting $1-million bail.
KCRW is a hugely popular and influential public radio station in L.A. Douridas is one of their most popular DJs. I'm not sure if I was more startled that his bail was one million or that he could post it. (I volunteered at KCRW some years back and knew him slightly.)

One only needs to post 10% of bail to be released which means he'd have to put
up $100,000. Most bailbondsmen would put that amount up for someone who owns
a house in Pacific Palisades, where the average house now sells for $1.2
Good point. However I think, if he put up 10%, then the bailbonds people keep it. Chances are he put up his house as 100% collateral, then if he appears, he gets it all back minus a fee.
He still hasn't been charged. Nor has the other person been identified.
i know chris, we use to hang out quite a bit. chris is definately a drug addict, so to think that this is something he could never do isn't going to fly. when i first heard about this it creeped me out. not in that i thought there was no way possible that chris would do such a thing, but that he actually got caught doing such a disgusting act. chris is creepy. he also has children, yikes…..

Marieke Douridas, 14; Past Marquez Student
Marieke Laura Douridas, a part-time Pacific Palisades resident and former Marquez Elementary School student, died April 30 at her family home in South Pasadena from a seizure. She was 14.
An eighth grader at South Pasadena Middle School, Marieke was a consistent honor roll student and recently performed in the school's production of "Grease." A gifted actress, she had been accepted to the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (LACHSA) and won the 2006 Best Actress Award at the 168 Hour Film Festival for her role in the short film "Free of Charge."
Marieke is remembered by the many who loved her for her boundless generosity, her kindness, her quick and dazzling smile and her wonderful sense of humor. She was a talented visual artist who enjoyed listening to music and spending time with family and friends. Marieke adored animals of all sorts and often rescued stray neighborhood cats and dogs with her family.
Although she had suffered periodic seizures since she was a small child, Marieke never let her condition stop her from wringing every ounce of joy out of each day she was given and sharing that joy with those around her.
Before moving to South Pasadena, Marieke attended Little Red Schoolhouse in Hollywood and before that, Marquez Elementary.
Funeral services were held May 6 at St. James Episcopal Church in South Pasadena. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made to the Marieke Douridas Foundation, 16133 Ventura Blvd., Ste 620, Encino, CA 91436, which will support causes that were close to Marieke's heart.
She is survived by her parents, Mieke Kramer and Jim Tavares of South Pasadena and Chris Douridas and Kendal Brenneman of Pacific Palisades; her brother Luka Douridas; and her grandparents, Marijke and Flip Kramer, Judi and Stuart Schmitz, Robert and Geraldine Tavares and William Douridas.
She is also survived by nine aunts and uncles, as well as many additional relatives in Holland, Ohio and Texas.
